Nick Ippolito has been involved with youth work for many years, and stumbled into web design and taught himself how to code. He's been married for 15 years, and he and his wife have 3 children - along with a budding startup the run together. They enjoy mounting biking in New Zealand and all things tech.
For Rowan Findlay, tech has always been his blood, with his family members working in the industry. In his younger years, he was into technical legos, and used to mod Xbox for pocket money. He has spent a lot of time in tourism, and has done a lot of freelance work, building sites for your local technicians.
During a few days off, Rowan decided to tinker with an idea and build a tool to enable custom Squarespace site tooling. When he came back, he immediately showed off what he had built to Nick and his wife - who immediately saw the value, and the future, in the product.

Adolf Hitler single-handedly started the Second World War in Europe.
While the allies were desperately trying to end the Third Reich and Hitler personally, they weren’t the only ones trying to bring Hilter’s reign to an end.
Inside Nazi Germany, a small but committed group sought to remove Hitler from power, and they took action in July 1944.
Learn more about Operation Valkyrie and the plot to assassinate Hitler on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
Author, pundit, & professor Marc Lamont Hill returns to Bad Faith to reflect on (Kan)Ye West, Kyrie Irving, and why Black Hebrew Israelites hold such appeal for these big name Black American celebs. Was Van Jones right to apologize to Jewish people on behalf of Black Americans? Are Black folks being held collectively responsible in a way that differs from what is demanded of other group members when one of their own transgresses? What is it about the Hebrew Israelite ideology that's considered de facto anti-Semitic? And does Dave Chappelle's thesis, that anti-Blackness isn't treated with the same gravity as some other types of bigotry, hold up? If it does, what do we do about it?
Why do we feel the need to belong, and what happens when we don’t? This episode explores:
What it takes to belong.
Why it physically hurts to be excluded.
How perspective-gathering can help create more inclusion.
A Discussion of the book Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides.
Today’s book is: Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides, by Dr. Geoffrey Cohen, which explores how we became so alienated from one another, the physical and emotional costs of exclusion, and what we can do to create belonging even in polarized times. Dr. Cohen applies his and others’ groundbreaking research to offer solutions for improving daily life at work, in school, in our homes, and in our communities. We all feel a deep need to belong, but most of us don’t fully appreciate that need in others. Small acts of connection such as reflecting on our core values, and a suite of practices that Cohen defines as “situation-crafting,” can lessen polarization, improve performance in school and work, and unleash the potential in ourselves and in our relationships.
Our guest is: Professor Geoffrey Cohen, whose research examines processes that shape people's sense of belonging and self and implications for social problems. He studies the big and small threats to belonging and self-integrity that people encounter in school, work, and health care settings, and strategies to create more inclusive spaces for people from all walks of life. He believes that the development of psychological theory is facilitated not only by descriptive and observational research but by theory-driven intervention. He has long been inspired by Kurt Lewin's quip, "The best way to try to understand something is to try to change it."
Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, a historian of women and gender.

In Bone Rooms: From Scientific Racism to Human Prehistory in Museums (Harvard University Press, 2022 for paperback edition), Samuel J. Redman, Associate Professor of History at the University of Massachusetts, uncovers the equally fascinating and disturbing history behind the vast collections of human remains assembled by medical and natural history museums since the mid-nineteenth-century across the United States. The book shows how, in the aftermaths of the Civil War, human remains, and especially those of Indigenous people, were seen as valuable specimens for the advancement of medicine, before turning into crucial pieces of evidence for scientific racism, and eventually serving as material for the study and exhibition of human prehistory.
Bone Rooms charts the trouble waters of the birth and evolution of bone rooms and offers a most timely historical account, as debates around the restitution of human remains and cultural artifacts held in museums have been gaining momentum in the recent years. Behind this important past lies the profound question of how to ensure that the quest for scientific knowledge does not, even if inadvertently, erase the humanity or cultural value of what have been seen as specimens only. As Redman advocates, “Museums can serve as key spaces to attempt to come to terms with the colonial legacy attached to archaeology and anthropology, through partially redressing past wrongs while continuing the search for new knowledge.”
