Podcast appearances and mentions of Andy Greene

Enjoy nine free minutes from our Patreon-exclusive episode about the pilot of the American Office. Hear the full thing by subscribing at https://patreon.com/loadbearingbeams for $5/month. Matt and Wade go through the pilot episode of the American Office. They compare their personal fandoms of the show and how deep their knowledge runs, and then briefly discuss how the show was adapted from the British series created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, its rocky first season and slow ascent into a megahit, and its lasting cultural legacy. And as for the pilot itself, which is generally not well regarded, Matt is surprised at how solid it is, how good a job it does at setting up the series, and how fully formed the main characters already are. The Office was created by Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant, and developed by Greg Daniels. It stars Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, and Jenna Fischer The pilot is directed by Ken Kwapis & written by Greg Daniels (adapted from a teleplay by Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant) Original air date: March 24, 2005 Source: The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s: An Oral History by Andy Greene (2020) - https://amzn.to/4juDN9i Hear Wade's incredible album WHO SAID THAT? on Apple Music, Spotify, or wherever else music is streamed.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 27, 2024 is: jurisprudence • joor-us-PROO-dunss • noun Jurisprudence is a formal word that typically refers to the science or philosophy of law, or to a system or body of law. // An undergraduate class on jurisprudence inspired her decision to go to law school. See the entry > Examples: "The nine justices follow our national debate as close as any political pundit, and it shapes their jurisprudence in countless ways." — Andy Greene, Rolling Stone, 22 Jan. 2024 Did you know? "For a farewell to our jurisprudent, I wish unto him the gladsome light of jurisprudence…." With this farewell to English jurist Sir Thomas Littleton, another jurist named Sir Edward Coke welcomed two new words into English. In 1628, his jurisprudence meant "knowledge of or skill in law," a now-archaic sense that reflects the meaning of the word's root. Jurisprudence goes back to the Latin phrase prudentia juris (literally "skill in law"), from which came the Late Latin formation jurisprudentia, and subsequently the English word. The noun jurisprudent means "one skilled in law"—in other words, a jurist or a judge. There's also jurisprude, a somewhat rare 20th-century back-formation created from jurisprudence with influence from prude. It means "one who makes a showy display of jurisprudential learning."

Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Woodie: I have a passion to get it done, and I will show up and get it done. I think that is where my strength and my superpower lie in terms of, you know, just be there, get it done, be the changemaker that you want to be. Don’t rely on others to do it. Have them help you where they’re willing to. But you need to be the source of all that change.A Real OGSherwood “Woodie” Neiss is on a short list of those who deserve serious credit for leading Congress to pass and getting then-President Barack Obama to sign the 2012 JOBS Act. He’s earned the title of Real OG in the investment crowdfunding world.Now a principal at Crowdfund Capital Advisors and a partner in Crowd Capital Ventures, he’s continuing to grow and advocate for the industry he had such a pivotal hand in creating.Woodie shared some stories about the work of getting the legislation passed. First, he recalls how the legislation came to have a provision prohibiting the sale of crowdfunded securities for twelve months even though there is no market.I remember sitting in Senator Bennett's office working with one of his staffers on how we prevent pumping and dumping. We didn't have that in there. And I, being an entrepreneur, having had that background of starting a business, funding it and exiting it, I really looked at him. I was like, “listen, these are long-term investments. Let's just put a 12 month holding period on it.” He's like “12 months.” And we wrote that down. So people all the time are like, “Well, where did the 12 months come from?” And, you know, I hear other people talking about it while the— “The regulators put it in there.”And I was like, “No, literally, it was a meeting that I was having with Andy Greene in Senator Bennett’s office. And we were like, “How do we prevent pumping and dumping?” And that's how we did it.He also shared the story of brokering the final compromise that got the bill passed.We were the the the pawns. We actually were going through Congress and we were entrepreneurs. We're not lobbyists. Not even close to it. We're not lawyers. So we don't even understand the legal frameworks under which these bills are turned into laws. But we understood that Washington operates by people sharing information, not even information that they'll share within their own parties. So we found ourselves as being this intermediary between Democrats, between Republicans, between Democrats and Republicans, between the House and the Senate. It was fascinating that people got to know us. They trusted us with the information that we were essentially bartering. And I think that's why we were able to come up with—I don't know if—you probably don't remember, but—probably nobody remembers because I was there with Jason [Best] and the bill was stalled and we realized that we needed to come up with a compromise between the Democrats and the Republicans. So, we just wrote the compromise. We sat down with the three bills that were in the Senate and we said, “Well, what are the best of both worlds and what are they trying to accomplish?” We merged that together and we went back to all three of the senators that were pushing this forward; there were two Democrats and one Republican at the time. We presented this as the commonsense compromise to investment crowdfunding. And they're like, “Well, the other party's on board?” And we just said, “Yes.” And that is what became the final framework that was in the law.Many people take credit for the passage of the JOBS Act. Woodie is undoubtedly one who deserves recognition.Woodie will speak at SuperCrowd22, providing additional data and context for understanding the practice of raising money and investing via investment crowdfunding. Superpowers for Good readers can register for the virtual conference on September 15 and 16 for half price with the code super50. ‘We Have a 100% Complete Data Set.’Since the Rose Garden signing ceremony in April of 2012, Woodie and his partners, including Jason Best, have developed a unique data set. They have tracked every transaction completed under the JOBS Act framework.Spooled up well before transactions legitimately using the framework began, Crowdfund Capital Advisors has a detailed record of every transaction. Every single one. “We have a 100% complete data set.”Perhaps nothing puts a point on this so precisely as Woodie’s humble brag, “We provide reports that the SEC purchases from us, ‘The State of the Industry.’”Let’s look at a few highlights Woodie shared.“There have been 5,000 companies across all 50 states that have gone out to raise money online, mainly from their customers,” Woodie says. “But you can do it from your social network, your fans and your followers as well. These are not only startups, but they are revenue-generating businesses.”“There have been over one and a half million investors that have invested in these. They’ve put $1.3 billion into these startups,” he says. (If he were sitting over my shoulder now, he’d say the number has risen to $1.4 billion since we recorded this interview last month.)Crowdfunding isn’t just about making investors and entrepreneurs wealthy. “These startups and small businesses have supported over 220,000 jobs,” Woodie says.Entrepreneurs and investors across the country, not just in New York and Silicon Valley, are participating. Companies based in 5,500 cities have successfully issued securities under the new rules.“The success rate when it comes to investment crowdfunding is 66.82 percent right now,” Woodie says. “So, that means 66 percent of all the companies out there are successful in the round.”“If you go to VC, your chance of getting that capital is about 2 percent,” he says by contrast. “So, why waste your time and energy and money, when you can go online and have a higher chance of success with your community, your customers, your crowd?” “I want to be clear, there’s a ton of risk in this. Many of these companies will fail over time,” Woodie says. “There are good ones in there, and they will succeed. These people that invest in them early will have phenomenal returns.”“The average valuations have crept up over time. In the beginning, it was close to between $5 and $10 million,” Woodie says. “Right now, it’s about $16.7 [million].”Get every episode in your inbox!Positive Results for Women and Minorities“Women and minorities are some of the biggest beneficiaries, and they actually have a higher success rate than the overall industry average,” Woodie says.Measuring the difference is more challenging than it might seem at first blush. “You have a lot of offerings that are put together by women and minority founders,” he says. “It could be just a woman on the founding team. It could be all women. It could be a minority on the founding team. It could be all minorities. It could be all minority women. There’s a whole blend of how these offerings look in terms of their management teams.”Woodie points out that “at least 50 percent of the offerings now have at least one woman or minority on the founding team.”“The women and minority offerings just seem to do better because their community looks like them and invests in them because they believe in them and they understand the challenges that they face as entrepreneurs in the capital markets,” he says.Woodie leverages his superpower in all his work, taking personal responsibility for change.How to Develop Personal Responsibility for Change As a SuperpowerWoodie credits his father with teaching him this vital principle to initiate the change you want to see in the world. The thoughts and memories of his father, who passed away just three weeks before our interview, were fresh and a bit raw.Woodie’s dad was a powerful role model. “My father’s father was a painter,” Woodie says. “My father went to the military. He put himself through school. He had got two PhDs and an MD. He went on to run pharmaceutical companies.”Woodie reflected on what he learned from his dad. “It’s the lessons of showing up. It’s not going to happen on its own. It’s not going to happen by itself. You need to be the changemaker if you want it to happen,” he recalls. “That’s what lives in me, which is this passion to be like, ‘Well, if something’s going to happen, I’m going to be the one that needs to make it happen.’”Woodie offers some advice for developing this capacity for changemaking.“I would tell them to start small,” he says, referring to his message for you.“I’ll be the first to tell you I try, I fail, but try again and fail,” Woodie says. “Then you keep on trying until you succeed. It’s about picking little things to do and accomplishing that. Because what it does is, well, it gets something done, but it gets you moving in the right direction, and you feel good about it.”He offers a second, powerful insight for getting big projects done.“Take any task you have and break it down into 100 tasks,” he says. “Every day, complete 1 percent of that [list]. In 100 days, you will have that task complete.”Finally, he calls out the mutual support he shares with his wife, identifying that as an essential part of his superpower.I look over at my spouse, and I talk about what we accomplished, and we commend each other. I think that's really important. If you don't have that support network yourself, find someone else that can go, “I am proud of you. Way to go.” Because you can't just rely on yourself for this; you need other people to be your champion as well. That type of positive reinforcement helps you come back in the morning, the next day, add a few more things to the list and get it done.Woodie concludes with this summary, “Start small. Check off those boxes. Big things will come.”If you follow Woodie’s example and advice, you can develop taking personal responsibility for change as a superpower that enables you to do more good.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.

Phil Spector builds his Wall of Sound as his teen protégée (and future wife) Ronnie Spector belts “Be My Baby” and “Walking in the Rain,” while songs like “I Wonder” and “Baby, I Love You” ache with hope for a perfect love that always seems to be impossibly ideal and just within arm's reach.. - Rolling Stone Rolling Stone's pick: Be My Baby Lauren's pick: What'd I say Tom's pick: Be My Baby Listen to the full album here!

The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time Boyz II Men, II, 1994 *Rolling stones lists this as 1991, that is incorrect With their innocent romanticism and meticulous vocal arrangements, Boyz II Men became the most commercially successful R&B vocal group of all time. II includes two mammoth hits, courtesy of Babyface: “I'll Make Love to You” and the audaciously baroque “Water Runs Dry.” But the group's own Nathan Morris and Shawn Stockman composed II‘s most poignant moment, “Khalil's Interlude,” a soft onslaught that'll leave you sobbing in the fetal position: “I need shelter from the rain/To ease the pain of changing from boys to men. - Rolling Stone Rolling Stone's pick: I'll Make Love to You Lauren's pick: Water runs dry Tom's pick: Yesterday (or All Around the World) Listen to the full album here!

The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time Shakira, Dónde Están los Ladrones, 1998 (Where are the Thieves?) Long before she went blond and took her never-lying hips to the top of the American pop charts, Shakira was a raven-haired guitar rocker who'd hit peak superstardom in the Spanish-speaking world with her 1995 LP, Pies Descalzos. To keep up the momentum, Shakira enlisted Emilio Estefan to help produce her next LP, this stellar globetrotting dance-rock set, which blends sounds from Colombia, Mexico, and her father's native Lebanon. - Rolling Stone Rolling Stone's pick: Ciega, Sordomuda Lauren's pick: Ojos Asi Tom's pick: Inevitable Listen to the full album here!

The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time Various Artists, The Indestructible Beat of Soweto, 1985 The greatest album ever to be marketed under the heading “world music,” this 1985 compilation of South African pop was a huge influence on Paul Simon's Graceland that still sounds jarringly fresh today. Full of funky, loping beats and gruff, Howling Wolf-style vocals (most prominently from “goat voiced” star Mahlathini). With a sweet track by Graceland collaborators Ladysmith Black Mambazo (“Nansi Imali”), its badass joy needed no translation. - Rolling Stone Rolling Stone's pick: Awungilobolele Lauren's pick: Nansi Imali Tom's pick: Qhwayilahle Listen to the full album here!

The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time Suicide, 'Suicide' Red Star, 1977 These New York synth-punks evoke everything from the Velvet Underground to rockabilly. Martin Rev's low-budget electronics are violent and hypnotic; Alan Vega screams as a rhythmic device. Late-night listening to “Frankie Teardrop,” a 10-minute-plus tale of a multiple murder, is not recommended. A droning voice in the wilderness when they appeared in the Seventies, the duo would influence bands from Arcade Fire and the National to Bruce Springsteen, who covered Suicide live in 2016. - Rolling Stone Rolling Stone's pick: Frankie Teardrop Lauren's pick: Ghost Rider Tom's pick: Ghost Rider Listen to the full album here!

The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time #499 Rufus, 'Ask Rufus' ABC, 1977 Fronted by Chaka Khan, one of soul music's most combustible singers, Rufus built its mid-Seventies sound on heavy-footed, guitar-slathered funk. But after spending 16 months in the studio working on Ask Rufus, they came out with a record that gave their songs more room to breathe, anticipating the lithe, loose arrangements of Nineties neo-soul. Khan glided through the head-nodding “Everlasting Love” and the twisty-turny “Better Days,” and fans appreciated the adjustment: Ask Rufus was the group's first platinum record.- Rolling Stone Rolling Stone's pick: Ever Lasting Love Lauren's pick: Hollywood Tom's pick: Better Days Listen to the full album here!

The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time #500 Arcade Fire, 'Funeral' Merge, 2004 Loss, love, forced coming-of-age, and fragile generational hope: Arcade Fire's debut touched on all these themes as it defined the independent rock of the ‘00s. Built on family ties (leader Win Butler, his wife, Régine Chassagne, his brother Will), the Montreal band made symphonic rock that truly rocked, simultaneously outsize and deeply personal, like the best pop. But for all its sad realism, Butler's is music that still finds solace, and purpose, in communal celebration. - Rolling Stone Rolling Stone's pick: Rebellion Lauren's pick: Tunnels Tom's pick: Rebellion Listen to the full album here!

Andy Greene begins his conversational journey with father, husband, writer and friend, Kyle Dickinson (@kmdickinson). We open the door to explore the confusing and overwhelming issues surrounding Identity. We begin where our friendship began, in Munich, Germany on a lonely Christmas, and from there, travel across the clarifying and terrifying landscapes wrought by the various identities we share and don't share. Kyle and I investigate the BS "Nice Guy" mythos we inhabited in our adolescence, our traumatic origins as "Drawers," and why we can't look away from the Big Bad Wolf. We introduce the Wolf/Dog concept with a hat tip to Derek DelGaudio's In & Of Itself (streaming on Hulu). We read poems about parenthood, struggle with our masculinity, with being the nerd or the chubby kid on the baseball team. We try to be better together.
