L'histoire de l'invention du Post-it commence dans les années 1960 et 1970 grâce à l'ingéniosité de Spencer Silver, un chimiste chez 3M. À cette époque, Silver travaille sur la mise au point d'un adhésif très puissant destiné à l'industrie de l'aérospatiale. Mais ses recherches prennent une tournure inattendue. En 1968, il fait une découverte surprenante : au lieu d'obtenir un adhésif ultra-fort, il crée une colle avec une caractéristique unique. Cette colle permet aux surfaces de se coller légèrement l'une à l'autre, tout en pouvant se détacher sans laisser de résidu ni perdre de son adhérence. Bien que fascinante, cette invention semble inutile à première vue. Silver essaie de promouvoir son adhésif au sein de 3M, mais il se heurte à un désintérêt général. Pendant des années, il présente ses recherches, espérant qu'une application sera trouvée. Pourtant, l'idée d'une utilisation précise reste floue, et l'adhésif demeure sans débouché commercial. Tout change grâce à Art Fry, un collègue de Silver chez 3M, qui chante dans une chorale. Fry fait face à un problème récurrent : ses marque-pages glissent constamment de son recueil de chants. En 1974, il se rend compte que l'adhésif de Silver pourrait être la solution parfaite pour créer des marque-pages repositionnables. Fry et Silver travaillent alors ensemble pour développer ce qui deviendra le Post-it, et la première version est testée avec succès. Le Post-it est lancé en 1980, et son succès est immédiat. Quant à sa célèbre couleur jaune, elle est en réalité le fruit du hasard. Les premiers prototypes de Post-it sont fabriqués avec du papier jaune disponible dans le laboratoire de 3M, car c'est ce qu'ils ont sous la main. Cette couleur vive attire facilement l'attention et devient l'élément emblématique du produit. Ainsi, grâce à une découverte accidentelle et à un besoin pratique, Silver et Fry transforment une idée simple en un incontournable de la vie quotidienne, prouvant que l'innovation peut naître des chemins les plus inattendus.

Title: Unity: A Goal or a Byproduct? Text: Acts 1:12-14 FCF: We often struggle with the disunity present in the church today. Prop: Because unity is a product of truth and obedience, we must believe and obey our Lord to be unified. Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to Acts chapter 1. Last week we opened up Luke's part 2 of His gospel. We discussed God the Triune's Sovereign role in advancing the Kingdom of God the Son by the Power of God the Spirit and in the timing of God the Father. Therefore, the title of Acts may best be rendered the Sovereign Acts of God through His Church. Jesus told His apostles of their great mission; to go and be His witnesses to the farthest reaches of the earth. But to do this, they must wait for the Spirit to empower them to accomplish that task. Our text today could have easily been included in last week's message. But it also functions well as a standalone sermon and an intriguing follow up message to what we saw last week. All of Acts is the exploration of the effect of the gospel on those who have received it. What effect does the gospel have on the apostles after being told by Jesus to wait in Jerusalem for the Power of the Spirit? What effect does the gospel have on the apostles after the angels told them that Jesus would return but not to wait idly for Him? Today we will see the gospel's effect on those who have truly received it. In short it produces belief, obedience, and through these… unity. I am in Acts chapter 1. I'll begin reding in verse 12. I am reading from the NET which you can follow in the pew bible on page 1229 or in whatever version you prefer. Transition: In 1974 a 3M scientist named Art Fry was abundantly frustrated as a choir singer at his church. Each Wednesday night they would practice the songs they were going to sing on Sunday, but inevitably every Sunday, every paper he had inserted to mark the hymns would have fallen out. He needed something sticky to put on the back of the bookmarks that would not damage the page when removed. As frustration grew, he remembered back to a seminar he had attended where a colleague of his, Dr. Spencer Silver, had described his failed attempt to create a strong adhesive able to be used in the aerospace industry. Rather than creating a strong adhesive, he instead created a rather weak adhesive that was easily removed without residue. Although taking some time to work out the kinks, by the 1980s they had both worked together to develop the product we all know as Post-It Notes. In this little story we see that one person set out to create something that was only discovered when doing something else. In many ways the adhesive used in Post it Notes is nothing more than a byproduct of failure. There is no doubt about it – Acts presents to us a church that is United and triumphant. It's kinda the tag line of the sermon series
Episode 357: Construct a Résumé of Failures to Discover Something New Episode Notes I like going below the surface to understand what makes people who they are. I love all the stuff. The successes, the failures, how people overcome challenges and setbacks, what brings people joy, and all the transformative moments that shape our character and entrepreneurial lives. I love being part of people's evolutionary process and connecting them with people and resources. An unexpected package arrived on my doorstep during last week's epic snowstorm. It looked like someone covered our neighborhoods with soft-serve ice cream and swirls atop the snow drifts—remnants of severe winds. The storm hit the Midwest. A whopping 11.3” of snow fell in Golden Valley, leaving us a winter wonderland view. Inside the bubble-wrapped package were a note (You're in the book!) and a signed early copy of Joanne Lipman's book, Next! The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work. Oh, how I love books. The smell. The purple book cover, yellow-colored hardcover, and binding. The chapter headings, content, and print. Everything. My mind went to the beginning of 2021. I received a call from a pioneering journalist and author. Joanne Lipman was the voice on the other end of the phone line. I didn't know of her at the time. She listened to my 2018 podcast conversations with Art Fry, the inventor of Post-It Notes. Joanne said she was writing a book about the power of reinvention in life and work and wanted to interview Art. She asked if I could connect the two of them. Next! The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work provides a toolkit to make meaningful transitions in life. It is chuck full of case studies, personal interviews, and the latest research on how people reinvent their lives and how they work. Joanne is a brilliant storyteller and avid researcher. I quickly opened to the Acknowledgement section on p. 282, where I am mentioned. “To podcaster Nancy Meyer for putting me in touch with Art Fry.” Wow! Tears snuck into my eyes. Joanne took the time to acknowledge me in print. Then, I flipped to chapter 3, Eureka!, where Art Fry's story unfolds. Joanne described both the journey of Spencer Silver, who invented the 3M glue he couldn't find a use for, and Art, the intrapreneur at 3M, who came up with the Post-it notes idea while singing in his church choir. Art used Spencer's glue to improve our lives. I use Post-it notes almost every day! The ‘aha' moment for both of them was years in the making, and Joanne outlines Art and Spencer's journey beautifully and accurately in her book. Back to the beginning of the book, I immersed myself in reading every word. Her book is divided into two parts; the disparate ways in which we pivot and navigate change when we have no choice. After hundreds of personal interviews and academic research papers, Joanne observed a specific pattern when people pivoted in their lives and careers. This particular pattern, she suggests, could be a Reinvention Map. Although the pattern seems straightforward on the surface, like Joseph Campbell's hero's journey, it isn't. There are four aspects to reinvention she tracks through history. We start with a search, then we struggle. An event causes us to stop what we are doing before a solution emerges and a path forward is revealed. She outlines variables as when you are on a post-traumatic growth path after a traumatic experience. The order is reversed. We start our reinvention with the traumatic experience/struggle, search for ways to understand what happened and struggle more before we stop and find a long-term solution. An area of reinventing we would like to avoid if we could is the ‘struggle,' but it is inevitable. It is how we gain new insights. I include an example Joanne highlighted of how to address a struggle. I hope you find it useful. I have done this exercise throughout my life as a therapeutic purge. A way to let go of my failures instead of allowing my failures to take up res...
Episode 330: Inspiration from Art Fry, The Inventor of Post-It Notes In 2018, I had the pleasure of interviewing Art Fry, the inventor of 3M's Post-it Notes. He celebrated his 90th birthday last fall, and I thought about our inspirational conversation. I think we need some positivity during these times when our humanity is being challenged. Art is a wonder and expressed the joy of having people always so happy to see him. Post-it Notes is his greatest invention. Enjoy our two podcast conversations and stay focused on doing work that elevates humanity. Darkness is diminished under scrutiny and light. Stay in the boat and ride out the waves.

Redefine how you lead and mentor while redesigning your business. Dual Innovation with Mentoring WORKS. Podcast Guest Mentor About Arthur Fry. Art Fry is a retired chemical engineer and inventor from 3M. In 1974, Art used an only-slightly sticky adhesive invented by Dr. Spencer Silver to secure bookmarks in his church hymnals. When the bookmarks were removed, they left a sticky residue on the hymnals' pages, so Art tinkered with the chemical formula to make the adhesive even less sticky. It took several years for supervisors at 3M to see the value in a glue that did not stick well. Post-It® Notes were introduced in 1980, in 1985 sales topped $100M, and by 1998 annual sales of Post-It notes and other products based on Silver's adhesive generated a billion dollars in sales annually. Fry and Silver, being employees, never received any royalties, but in 1986 Fry was honored with the company's top technical title, corporate researcher. "My biggest reward," he said, "is to see so many people use and appreciate my product."Art has received the following recognition and awards for his inventions.• Elected to 3M Circle of Technical Excellence and Carleton Society• Outstanding Alumni Award, University of Minnesota• Premio Smau Industrial Design Award, Italian Office Design Association• Inducted in the National Inventor's Hall of Fame• 1996 National Medal of Technology awarded to 3M, citing Post-it Notes and Microreplication Technologie...
Episode 289: Matt Mueller's Reimagined Life: Out of Amway and into Glo Lighting Minnesota, Part II “We like to illuminate our lives in many ways,” says Matt Mueller. He is illuminating neighborhoods and businesses with an Architectural LED lighting system for accent, holiday lighting, game day lighting, and security. Glo Lighting Minnesota brings Matt back home from Phoenix, where our second conversation starts. Matt is an excellent example of dual innovation. He is redefining who he is while launching a new business. You will hear the freedom he feels from designing life on his terms out of his lessons. “In order to become confident and capable adults, it helps enormously to have grown up with steady and predictable parents, writes Dr. Bessle van der Kolk in The Body Keeps The Score (2014). He expands his thoughts by adding, “parents who delighted in you, in your discoveries and explorations; parents (or caregivers) who helped you organize your comings and goings; and who served as role models for self-care and getting along with other people. Defects in any of these areas are likely to manifest themselves later in life. A child who has been ignored, for example, or chronically humiliated is likely to lack self-respect.” In Matt's case, he grew up in a home with steady and predictable parents, so when his world turned upside down after his marriage and network marketing venture imploded, he used the opportunity in Phoenix to restore his well-being. A sign of respecting oneself. He utilized new mentors to move from an intrapreneur, using the resources of Amway's network marketing company to launching Glo Lighting. His vision is to build a 1st class service organization that makes work easy, lucrative, and fun while treating everyone's property as their own. The primary differences between intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs are the risk one takes with their finances and organizing resources within a company. I use the most famous example of an intrapreneur, podcast guest mentor, Art Fry. He invented Post-it Notes® while working at 3M. You can find our podcast conversations and a definition of intrapreneurs in the Episode Resource section for this episode. Enjoy Matt's explanation of his reimagined life. DOWNLOAD Speaking of Restoring well-being after trauma, I feel compelled to say that we missed a massive opportunity as a nation to find ways to restore our well-being after the terrorist attacks twenty years ago (September 11, 2001). If we had focused on restoring our nation's well-being first, we would have healed the world. Instead, we armored up with a revengeful mentality and rolled out policies and plans that nourished a fear-based mindset that demonized our Muslim brothers and sisters, armed the Taliban, and caused the world harm. We unleashed our superpower vengeance. We are still paying the price of messed-up priorities. What we can do now is keep doing the work to heal our hearts and practice healthy relating, and implement our new learnings to create a world based on love and understanding instead of fear and hate. We need to focus on the light, maybe Matt's light, where he has created space for dual innovation. A clarification. Jellyfish Lighting is the company Matt has a license to sell his LED Architectural lighting systems. There are licensed dealers in 20 markets. Minnesota is the 15th state to offer this outdoor and commercial lighting system. After listening, complete below, the Conscious Attentive Leadership Mentoring (C.A.L.M.) Activities.

The Post-it® Note is one of the best known of all 3M products. It is used by loyal customers all over the world, many of whom declare that they can't imagine how they ever got along before Post-it® Notes were invented. It's equally difficult to imagine a time when 3M was struggling to find a use for the repositionable adhesive that makes Post-it® Notes so versatile. But that was precisely the case back in the early 1970s, before a team of tenacious innovators at 3M created the product that permanently changed the way we communicate. In a classic case of innovative serendipity, 3M research scientist Dr. Spence Silver found something quite remarkably different from what he was originally looking for. But it wasn't until Art Fry, a new product development researcher, discovered the ultimate product niche for this innovation. Hear how Art's intense curiosity and penchant for practical solutions helped lead him to the Post-it® Note concept, the skeptics he faced within 3M, and the market research involved. In 1981, one year after its introduction, Post-it Notes were named the company's Outstanding New Product. Fry was named a 3M corporate scientist in 1986. Now semi-retired, Fry looks back on the many innovative products-such as the Post-it® Pop-up Note Dispenser and the Post-it® Flag-that have followed upon the original Post-it® Note. Art holds 3M′s top technical title, corporate scientist. He has a unique perspective born of almost 40 years of experience developing new products for the 3M Company. A Midwesterner with both rural and urban roots, Art began working for 3M part-time in 1953, while still a University of Minnesota Chemical Engineering student. His career was devoted almost entirely to new product development –– using the stream of leading-edge materials and technologies generated by 3M research, to create products to solve real customer problems, and to help build businesses around them. Art has made several contributions to 3M′ new product world, but the most significant was the invention of the Post-it® Note. The invention of the Post-it® Note, introduced in the United States in 1980 and in Europe in 1981, earned a number of 3M internal honors. Art received the highest form of peer recognition by being elected to 3M′s Carlton Society. He was also on the team for two Golden Step Awards and was elected to 3M's Circle of Technical Excellence. Post-it® Notes and Microreplication Technologies were cited when 3M received the National Medal of Technology in 1996. Art has also received the Outstanding Alumni Award from the University of Minnesota, the Premio Smau Industrial Design Award from the Italian Office Design Association and was recently voted by Esquire Magazine as one of the best 100 people in the world. Semi-retired, Art still keeps his hand in technology, networking and mentoring. He's become a spokesman both inside and outside of 3M on innovation and the company's unique culture
