Anna Berke, Portland: A recipe for a raucous event - Press Herald

In 2012, I emailed this SOS:
Hi Mom, Can you send me your recipe for beef stew. Mark’s invited friends over for dinner on Saturday and I need your help!
Anna Berke of Portland is a mom to two young children and a grant writer for public television who has been having fun this summer learning to use her new paddleboard.
My mom responded:
Attached. If you can’t read it, send me a fax number and I’ll fax it. Always make the day before – tastes better the next day! Love you.
Turns out I couldn’t read the attachment, and so fax me the recipe she did. Fax!
Mark was my boyfriend, and this dinner would be one of the first times we hosted his pals in our new apartment. I wanted to put my best foot forward and present a tasty meal that would wow and warm an intimate group of friends on a chilly January night.

The night before the dinner, I browned the meat and chopped the veggies. It was a labor-intensive process, but if the stew turned out half as good as my mom’s, my effort would be rewarded with well-fed and happy dinner party guests. I compiled the ingredients as instructed into a large pot on the stove and left it to make stew-magic by fusing disparate ingredients into a symphony of complementary flavors.
After a few hours and closing in on my bedtime, the meat was still tough and the carrots and potatoes crunchy. An hour or so later, things had not improved. I was perplexed. So, I kept the stove on, and slept in 20-minute increments that night, tending to, tasting and fretting over that stew. By the morning, I was exhausted, but I had a finished product that I was satisfied with: the meat was tender, the broth thick and flavorful and the potatoes and carrots soft but not mushy. Ta dah!
That afternoon, Mark texted additional friends to join us. Then those friends passed along the invite to their friends and acquaintances. The elegant dinner party I thought we were hosting that night became a standing-room only pregame event for continued partying in the city’s bars and clubs. I hawked my stew to all of our guests. Most were far more interested in drinking than in eating (I envisioned the night so differently!), but I did have a few takers. For these few, I served my “up all night stew” in the red and blue painted soup bowls I had hand washed for the sit-down dinner party I was planning for.
My mom still makes beef stew according to the recipe she faxed so many years ago (and manages it in a very reasonable time). I still love to eat it, Mark does, too, and our kids go wild for it. But I have never had much interest in making it again after the night of our party. I value sleep far too much.

The novel is also the coming-of-age story of 11-year-old Bob Starrett, the narrator who idolizes Shane and then gradually begins to understand him. A great read for teens and adults.

‘Christianity for Modern Pagans: Pascal’s Pensées’
By Peter Kreeft
After his death, mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal left behind what we call his “Pensées,” observations and fragments of his thinking, many of them profound. Kreeft takes 203 of the original 993 pensées and gives us a “festooning of Pascal, like decorating a Christmas tree.” Pascal’s wisdom and insight illuminate the mind—he was a master of the epigram—and the witty commentary of Kreeft, a theologian, philosopher, and professor, makes this book a delight. A splendid introduction to one of the West’s great thinkers.
Ignatius Press, 1993, 341 pages

Five critical components for entrepreneurial success - Crain's Cleveland Business

Unlike many cities, Cleveland is uniquely positioned to promote a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. This is why I wholeheartedly agree with the majority of Ray Leach's Nov. 14 opinion article in Crain's on what it will take to make these entrepreneurial aspirations into a reality.
From first-hand experience, I can attest not only to the creative approach Leach has to the problem, but also the invaluable partnerships he has introduced to Cleveland. His recent piece features the importance of commitment, collaboration and capital. These "3 C's" are critical components of the formula to build a booming entrepreneurial economy.
However, I would like to comment on two additional components that are absolutely vital to include. The two additional components are merely expanding on the formula Leach has outlined. Without factoring these components into the formula, the highest level of innovation will never be achieved.
What enables an ecosystem to reach success? Talent.
Talent enhances the formula for success because it acts as a stable pipeline of new innovators into the community. Without talent, neither commitment, collaboration, nor capital would be efficient. A concrete pipeline of talent, however, ensures that this efficiency is possible. This is because talent introduces novelty and increases the process of innovation in an ecosystem.
Where does this pipeline start? Higher education.
The Boler College of Business at John Carroll University intersects with the foundation of Cleveland's talent base because it embraces the responsibility of being a citizen in Cleveland's innovative community. Therefore, the college, like others, has a prevalent role to educate and prepare people for careers and to produce talent for Cleveland's entrepreneurial network.
As part of the pipeline, the Boler College of Business can be a source for startups to launch a new idea in Northeast Ohio. One idea can revolutionize and transform the Cleveland area. To successfully catalyze an innovative idea, one last component needs to be included in our formula.
Two ecosystems may have all four components to the equation on paper, yet sometimes one is evidently doing better. For some unknown reason, one community's levels of innovation and success are thriving, while the other community's is not. Why might this optimism be present in one and not the other? Passion is properly leveraged.
Call me a romantic, but I think excluding passion in the formula for success would result in a doomed potential for Cleveland.
The most successful entrepreneurial hubs in the world accommodate passion into their formula. This is due to passion being a multiplier.
In our formula, if one of the components is at zero, then the entire configuration ultimately fails. This is why one ecosystem advances compared to another. The ecosystem that does not advance tries to innovate with zero passion, but with commitment, collaboration, capital and talent still in the formula.
Ultimately, properly leveraging passion enhances the overall success of a region engaged in entrepreneurship.
Passion cannot be artificially manufactured.
One unique thing about Cleveland, however, is that passion is already ingrained into the region's network of collaborators. In the past 10 to 15 years alone, the landscape of passion has only been increasing. Transitions into positions of new leadership in Cleveland are an exemplifier of this. Just to name a few, there is the election of Mayor Justin Bibb, the appointment of Baiju Shah as CEO of the Greater Cleveland Partnership, and even new leadership in multiple nonprofits and the Cleveland Clinic.
When attempting to create a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, there is a danger and risk of staying static. Rather than staying complacent, passion builds in a drive to constantly be innovative and regularly oppose regression. This drive is embodied in the talent that is pipelined into an entrepreneurial network.
The Final Formula for Success: Commitment x Collaboration x Capital x Talent x Passion = Thriving Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
