Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

Membership strategy. How much do we really know about it? Membership is not a recognized subject of expertise.

Membership organizations employ millions of people and generate billions in revenue, yet the strategies essential to membership engagement and growth have remained largely unknown, overlooked, guessed, or left to chance. Until now. The Membership IQ is a podcast dedicated to helping association executives and membership professionals adapt to change, create cultures of belonging, engage younger generations, and realize growth. Now you can get smart about what's actually causing membership disengagement and decline and learn the strategies key to success. Tune in to hear Sarah Sladek share research-based quick tips and join the global community of listeners dedicated to raising their Membership IQ! New podcasts added twice a month.

In this episode of Membership IQ , host Sarah Sladek talks with Curtis Nunley, a leader at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), about navigating and leading through transformational change.

This change aims to make ASCE more inclusive and reflective of the full spectrum of professionals contributing to civil engineering, including technicians, non-licensed practitioners, and those with varying educational backgrounds. Curtis explains the cultural and strategic factors behind the decision, including its potential to engage historically underrepresented groups, such as graduates from HBCUs and community colleges. He emphasizes the importance of involving stakeholders in the change process, tailoring member experiences to generational preferences, and simplifying volunteer roles to support community building. The episode also touches on ASCE’s efforts to better engage younger members, especially Gen Z, through tools like social media, mobile accessibility, and flexible payment options. This conversation is packed with practical advice for any organization looking to evolve membership structures, promote diversity, and build stronger intergenerational communities.…
