Corporation with Doug Abbey and colleagues, and John, who's here with us tonight too. Doug 's a lecturer at the GSB, and he is going to lead our fireside chat later on with Hamid.Many of you know, of course, that Hamid led AMB through its IPO in 1997 and through its merger with Prologis in 2011.
Tim, tell us a little bit about Buzz. Doug is leading the witness here.So I think the story he wants me to tell you is that we were having a closing dinner for our IPO-
We're not this orderly machine, as much as society and the incentives and the forces that be might want that to be true. Doug , I actually was riveted by this conversation.I hadn't heard a lot of this before.
So I'm very excited to be joined today by Dr. Doug Tallamy. Doug is a professor in the department of entomology and wildlife ecology at the University of Delaware.And he's also the author of several popular books, including "The New York Times" bestseller "Nature's Best Hope," released in 2020, which provides

Doug is expert at connecting ecological science findings with conservation in the cities and landscapes that we all call home.His work forms the basis of the National Wildlife Federation's incredible Native Plant Finder and, in 2021, he also cofounded Homegrown National Park,
And I had 100% confidence in the idea that we would grow specialty produce and grow it locally and get it to chefs as fresh as possible. Doug was the first guy that I went after, and I always-- I felt like I straight up stalked him.
And so we shot that-- that was the master. Doug Benson wants to do it.
I didn't make a big stink about it. Doug Baldwin of the Seattle Seahawks just tweeted out about an hour ago, "to express a desire to bring people together, our team will honor the country and flag
I'm super excited to be here with Doug Merlino for talks at Google. Doug is an author who's been featured in a bunch of magazines, such as Vice, Men's Journal, Wired, and Slate.He's also written a couple of books.
Come on down, you know? Doug was, I just think, in denial.
Come on down, you know? Doug was like, you really looked like you were on drugs.
He's going to be talking to us today about the power of story. Doug has had a 20-year acting career, of which 13 years was spent in Hollywood, acting in everything in movies rangingfrom "Snoopy" all the way through to Shakespeare.
This is the author. Doug Stevenson's "Story Theater Method." So the quote on this page from the book "Brain Rules" by John Medina.One important area of research is the effect of emotion on learning.
And the way you tell the difference is, as you know, by reverse engineering. Doug Hofstadter came up with the lovely phrase, you want to turn all the knobs on an intuition pump to see whatmakes it do its work.
want to be here" Although that's Cormare and that's where Eds' going to be working with his Elminster books and I go well how 'bout here, "Well that's the Bloodstone Lands and Doug Niles up there, well how about down, oh no no, that's Calimshan, and we're doing this game product down there." And he's got this giant map and every place is filled upand I finally looked at the map and they had these mountains up top and there was this little strip of land I said, "See that little typo between the mountains and the sea of
So, please join me in welcoming Doug Hannah. Doug Hannah: Thank you, guys.That was a very good introduction.
We'll be back after these messages. Doug Hannah: So, that was "Good News, Oklahoma!"So, I like I said, we shot that back in December.
FEMALE #1: What is that? Doug Hannah: The red?Yeah, I don't know if anyone follows it.
MALE #1: So does Park City, which rules. Doug Hannah: Yeah. Exactly.So, that was part of the reason why we wanted to make it was about Oklahoma.
FEMALE #2: How has that gone over? Doug Hannah: It's actually gone--.I was gonna say is we showed it at the Tulsa Film Fest and on the right over there, I'm sitting on the flight and I'm sitting next to a guy who's from Oklahoma, who had never
I'll--. MALE #2: How long was the shoot itself? Doug Hannah: Oh, yeah.The shoot was five days.
Any other questions? MALE #3: How did you finance it? Doug Hannah: Me and the writer really just wanted to make it.And so, we just split it.
MALE #4: So they gave you good rates? Doug Hannah: Yeah. The best rate that they could possibly give, which was free.Yeah, exactly. The actors were all amazing.
MALE #5: So, what motivates them to do it for free? Doug Hannah: Um. I was wondering the same thing.And talking to my friend, it's like, actors, they just wanna act.
And I'm wondering if you could tease out what percent of the target is. Doug Hannah: Yeah. The original script was pretty 50/50.And I had decided I wanted it to lean more to the news aspect of it.
MALE #7: Have you had any feedback from people who work in newsrooms? Doug Hannah: Not really, actually.No. No. That's what I was thinking.
MALE #8: It just felt natural from the script, or--? Doug Hannah: Yeah. Eighteen minutes is long for a short and it struggles to get into festivals.The ideal time for a short to screen at festivals would be like, seven minutes, because they try to put as many short films together in a 120-minute program.
It is funny." MALE #9: You don't think anybody spotted the palm tree? Doug Hannah: Yeah. No one spotted the palm tree.Exactly. Yeah, so no.
You do what Louis CK did and just make a free download and sell your movie for like, three bucks or whatever. Doug Hannah: Yeah. #10: I really enjoyed it.I'd love to be able to get other people seeing it, but short of doing some research to figure out which film festival it'll be at next, I don't know how to help you with your art.
I'd love to be able to get other people seeing it, but short of doing some research to figure out which film festival it'll be at next, I don't know how to help you with your art. Doug Hannah: Yeah, yeah.Well, that's a great question.
MALE #11: It's movie channels like HBO or Showtime? Doug Hannah: Like IFC or stuff like that.They show shorts, but most of the time it's ones that have gone on to win Sundance and-- MALE #11: OK.
They show shorts, but most of the time it's ones that have gone on to win Sundance and-- MALE #11: OK. Doug Hannah: which we're not quite at that level unfortunately.So I guess the answer would be just please stand by--
MALE #12: Is there a list of where it will be screened? Doug Hannah: The next one is next weekend in Denver, like I said.And then after that, we're still waiting to hear from about I think like, 20 more fests, possibly.
MALE #13: And you have to pay to get yourself there from those, or--? Doug Hannah: Yeah, technically, to get to the festivals and stuff.And just depending on the festival.
Yeah? MALE #14: The comment you said about to some extent about being a director. Doug Hannah: Yeah. MALE #14: Do you like that it was great practice?Like, do you feel like you're in a better spot now to do something else, and you have
other projects now because of this? Doug Hannah: Yeah. Absolutely.It was great practice.
MALE #15: And I think probably what I wanna say was the audience fairly different in many different ways? Doug Hannah: Yeah. Yeah.

MALE #15: And I think probably what I wanna say was the audience fairly different in many different ways? Doug Hannah: Yeah. And then in addition to that, there's two focus pullers.
MALE #15: And I think probably what I wanna say was the audience fairly different in many different ways? Doug Hannah: If I had more time, I probably would've started doing that, showing it to bigger audiences.
MALE #15: And I think probably what I wanna say was the audience fairly different in many different ways? Doug Hannah: I don't totally know.
MALE #15: And I think probably what I wanna say was the audience fairly different in many different ways? Doug Hannah: Exactly. So, every time I go to a different angle, every time it cuts, I shot from that angle
MALE #15: And I think probably what I wanna say was the audience fairly different in many different ways? Doug Hannah: Good question.
MALE #15: And I think probably what I wanna say was the audience fairly different in many different ways? Doug Hannah: Yeah. MALE #24: Did you form a production company for this?
MALE #15: And I think probably what I wanna say was the audience fairly different in many different ways? Doug Hannah: Yeah. We kinda just formed it just so when we were signing out and renting equipment and stuff.
