"It wasn't until I returned that I began to understand the city a little bit more and see it in a slightly different way." - Simon Wright This episode features Simon Wright and Richard Wiggins, the founders of All Flows, a creative festival in Milton Keynes. They discuss their journey from hosting Milton Keynes Geek Night to launching All Flows festival, their creative agency Ville, and their dedication to championing Milton Keynes' unique design heritage. Despite being a relatively young city, Milton Keynes has a rich history of using arts to build community, with radical approaches to urban design that attracted influential architects and designers. Simon and Richard share their passion for creating intimate, inspirational events that connect international creatives with local talent, highlighting their commitment to quality programming and community building over commercial success.TakeawaysMilton Keynes, despite being only 56 years old, has a rich design heritage that included contributions from figures like Buckminster Fuller.All Flows began as a passion project between two friends who wanted to create the kind of creative event they'd want to attend.The founders intentionally keep All Flows intimate to foster meaningful connections between speakers and attendees.Both Simon and Richard are driven more by passion than commercial interests, prioritizing quality and inspiration over profit.Their curation process involves researching speakers extensively and creating a balanced program that mixes established names with emerging talents.Student involvement through scholarships and volunteering is a key part of their mission to inspire the next generation of local creatives.The venue challenges in Milton Keynes have shaped the festival's character rather than deterring its growth.The festival has gained international recognition, with attendees traveling from as far as Michigan and New Zealand.All Flows is now included in Milton Keynes' five-year cultural and tech strategy, signifying its importance to the city.The founders see All Flows as continuing Milton Keynes' legacy of using arts and creativity to build community and create a sense of place.

That's right, we've got The Dude hisself: Jeff Bridges. This week on Transmissions, he joins us to discuss his new archival record, Slow Magic, 1977-1978. Listening to the record sounds like eavesdropping on the coolest Hollywood party you've never been invited to: Bridges and co. sound like they are blowing off steam more than making a proper record, their wild music sound, as Bridges' frequent musical collaborator Keefus Ciancia put it, “like The Band playing at CBGB With The Exploding Plastic Inevitable.” There are members of Oingo Boingo on hand, and Burgess Meredith delivering some bewildering and beautiful spoken word. Sourced from an old cassette tape, it was released on Record Store Day by our friends at Light in the Attic, featuring a great set of liner notes by the fantastic writer Sam Sweet, and it's a blast.  Film, music, art, Buddhism—in this conversation, we cover it all and get into some fascinating countercultural tangents, touching on Buckminster Fuller, John Lilly, Ram Dass, Captain Beefheart, and more. It's a fascinating talk and Slow Magic is a tremendous listen, so press play and abide.

Za pár dnů mu bude třiaosmdesát let, ale drží se ve skvělé formě. Dělat s ním rozhovor je radost: světoznámý hudební skladatel Petr Kotík každou chvíli překvapuje provokativní myšlenkou: „Tady v Praze vás obtěžuje na každém rohu nějaká památka,“ posteskne si například v dalším díle podcastu Host Reportéra. Petr Kotík žije převážně v New Yorku, ale když má odpovědět, je-li dnes spíše Čechem, nebo Američanem, nechce se mu. „To vůbec nevím,“ říká. „A ani o tom nepřemýšlím, protože mám odjakživa vrozený odpor k jakémukoliv nacionalismu. Nikdy jsem se o takové věci nestaral. Jsem Petr Kotík, co vyrostl v Praze, kde pak byl i vyškolen, stejně jako ve Vídni, a od šedesátého devátého roku žiju ve Spojených státech.“ Poněkud překvapivě zdůrazňuje, že jeho rozhodnutí opustit Československo nebylo v žádném případě politické. „V roce 1969 začaly být problémy s koncertováním v zahraničí. Tehdy jsem si prostě uvědomil, že je mi sedmadvacet let, potřebuju někde soustředěně sedět, komponovat, hrát muziku, a nemůžu utápět život v řešení zdejšího hnoje. Šel jsem si za hudbou, za prací. Když jsem v USA potkával čerstvé emigranty z Československa, kteří se obvykle tvářili jako mučedníci, nechtěl jsem s nimi mít nic společného.“ V podcastu hovoří i o svém názoru na současné změny ve Spojených státech. Je kritikem Donalda Trumpa, svůj hlas by mu v žádném případě nedal, ale rozumí důvodům, proč byl zvolen: „Jedním z rozhodujících faktorů byla nesmyslná politická korektnost, která už Ameriku začala ovládat nesnesitelným způsobem. Zatímco Trump k tomu byl v jasné opozici, vedení demokratické strany ani trochu.“ Kotíkovy kariéry se požadavek takzvané korektnosti nemohl příliš dotknout, protože nemá žádné zaměstnání, o které by se musel bát. „Jsem nezaměstnatelný,“ uznává v podcastu. „Když jsem to někdy zkusil, hned mě vyhodili. Životem procházím s filosofií, kterou shrnul můj mentor, vědec a filosof Buckminster Fuller. Ten říkal, že když budu dělat správné věci, tak se o mě Bůh postará, což zatím funguje. Člověk jednoduše nesmí přijít o respekt k sobě samému, o svoji osobní integritu. Protože jak říkával pro změnu Ernest Hemingway, integrita je jako panenství. Přijdete o ni jen jednou – a navždy.“ V rodné Praze oslaví Petr Kotík narozeniny z toho důvodu, že o den později, v úterý 28. ledna, uspořádá Pražská komorní filharmonie mimořádný večer ve Švandově divadle, v němž se propojí skladby Petra Kotíka a jeho slavného newyorského kolegy a přítele Philipa Glasse. Koncert je už vyprodaný, Kotík se na něj těší. „Philipa jsem poznal v šedesátých letech, kdy ještě nebyl moc známý. Vlastně jsme souputníci. On je sice o pět let starší, ale zároveň začal skládat později než já, ode mě se dodnes hraje například skladba Congo z roku 1962. Vedli jsme spolu dlouhé a soustředěné rozhovory, které jsme nakonec i zaznamenávali, protože nám došlo, že máme leccos společného. Jsme například samouci, co se týče komponování. Taky jsme oba vždy měli svůj vlastní soubor, se kterým jsme coby skladatelé vystupovali, a tak dále. Rozdílné je jen prostředí, z něhož pocházíme. Glassův otec provozoval obchod s deskami a hudba, která se neprodávala, pro něj neměla smysl, do toho se Philip narodil. A já naopak vyrůstal v umělecké rodině, kde finanční zisk nikoho nezajímal. Proto skládal Glass úplně jiné věci než já, ale důležitý je jen výsledek. A já mám pocit, že umělecky jsme si měli vždycky co říct.“ Unikátní rozhovor Petra Kotíka s Philipem Glassem, vedený v New Yorku v roce 2014, vydává PKF u příležitosti úterního koncertu, a téměř dvouhodinový rozhovor Petra Kotíka s tázajícím se občas žasnoucím Tomášem Poláčkem si můžete poslechnout v podcastu Host Reportéra.

To the lighting designer Lindsey Adelman, light is at once ubiquitous and precious, quotidian yet miraculous; it can be easily overlooked or taken for granted, but it also has the potential to become transformative or even otherworldly. Through her craft-forward approach, Adelman creates pieces that defy strict labels and explore the tensions between organic and industrial forms and materials, combining hand-blown glass with industrial and machine-milled components. Since launching her eponymous company in 2006, she has built a formidable business, perhaps becoming best known for her Branching Bubble chandeliers, a series that consists of glass “bubbles” elegantly mounted on the ends of brass, bronze, or nickel “branches.” Adelman also runs an experimental space called LaLAB as a means of exploring and meditating on illumination through the creation of one-off and limited-edition pieces, as well as private commissions.On the episode, she discusses her recent decision to shift her company away from a large-scale production operation and toward a smaller, more intimate “studio” model; the great surprise of having one of her designs installed in Vice President Kamala Harris's Washington, D.C., home; and her love of hosting.Special thanks to our Season 10 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Lindsey Adelman[6:05] Ingo Maurer[6:05] Gaetano Pesce[7:55] Burst Chandelier[12:22] “A Realm of Light”[14:55] Isamu Noguchi's Akari light sculptures[17:20] Yosemite National Park[18:41] James Turrell[18:41] House of Light[20:47] Noguchi's “Lunar Infant”[24:40] Writings by Agnes Martin[26:52] Hiroshi Sugimoto[27:46] David Lynch[29:08] “Paul McCarthy: WS”[29:08] Matthew Barney[30:54] Haruki Murakami[33:14] “A Cacao Ceremony That Brought Close Friends Even Closer”[48:13] Branching Bubble chandelier[48:13] Buckminster Fuller[52:01] Adelman's open-source D.I.Y. light project[52:30] David Weeks[52:30] Lunette[52:46] “The Lighting Designer From Everyone's Dream Brooklyn Brownstone”[52:46] Rich People Problems[52:46] Gwyneth Paltrow

Robert Greene visits Google to discuss his latest book, "Mastery." What did Charles Darwin, a middling schoolboy and underachieving second son, do to become one of the earliest and greatest naturalists the world has known? What were the similar choices made by Mozart and by Caesar Rodriguez, the U.S. Air Force's last ace fighter pilot? In Mastery, Robert Greene's fifth book, he mines the biographies of great historical figures for clues about gaining control over our own lives and destinies. Greene culls years of research and original interviews to blend historical anecdote and psychological insight, distilling the universal ingredients of the world's masters. Temple Grandin, Martha Graham, Henry Ford, Buckminster Fuller—all have lessons to offer about how the love for doing one thing exceptionally well can lead to mastery. Yet the secret, Greene writes, is already in our heads. Debunking long-held cultural myths, he demonstrates just how we, as humans, are hardwired for achievement.

“An apology is a small word, but has enormous power interpersonally.” Episode Summary: Dr. Amy Edmondson, the world's leading authority in psychological safety, discusses her background and the science of failing well. She shares her journey from growing up in New York City to becoming a professor at Harvard Business School. She explains how her mentor, Buckminster Fuller, influenced her curiosity and joy for learning. Dr. Edmondson also delves into the concept of psychological safety and its impact on team learning and innovation. She distinguishes between mistakes and failures and introduces the three failure archetypes: intelligent failures, basic failures, and complex failures. Finally, she explores the relationship between uncertainty and preventability in the context of failure. In this conversation, Amy Edmondson and Shannon Cassidy discuss the importance of failing well and how to respond to failure. They explore the concept of psychological safety and its role in creating a culture that embraces failure as a learning opportunity. They also discuss the criteria for intelligent failure and share stories of successful individuals who have learned from their failures. The conversation covers topics such as self-awareness, the power of questions, the role of apology in healing relationships, and how to thrive as fallible human beings. R.O.G. Takeaway Tips: The relationship between uncertainty and preventability in the context of failure Failing well requires creating a culture of psychological safety where individuals feel comfortable taking risks and learning from failure. Self-awareness is crucial in failing well, as it allows individuals to recognize their weaknesses and make necessary adjustments. Asking good questions is a powerful tool in responding to failure, as it encourages reflection and learning. Apologies have the power to heal relationships and should be genuine, taking accountability and offering to make amends. To thrive as fallible human beings, it is important to persist through struggles, be reflective, and take more risks. Fallible Human Beings (FHB) coined by Maxi Maltzby Persist through struggles Invest time in reflection Learn how to apologize. Fail more often (take more smart risks). Guest Bio: Amy Edmondson is the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School, a chair established to support the study of human interactions that lead to the creation of successful enterprises that contribute to the betterment of society. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is the author of Right Kind of Wrong. After decades of award-winning research, Amy Edmondson is here to upend our understanding of failure and make it work for us. In Right Kind of Wrong, Edmondson provides the framework to think, discuss, and practice failure wisely. Outlining the three archetypes of failure—basic, complex, and intelligent—Amy showcases how to minimize unproductive failure while maximizing what we gain from flubs of all stripes. She illustrates how we and our organizations can embrace our human fallibility, learn exactly when failure is our friend, and prevent most of it when it is not. This is the key to pursuing smart risks and preventing avoidable harm. With vivid, real-life stories from business, pop culture, history, and more, Edmondson gives us specifically tailored practices, skills, and mindsets to help us replace shame and blame with curiosity, vulnerability, and personal growth. You'll never look at failure the same way again.

Monday, March 11, was my birthday, as I mentioned in the last segment of UnMind. Wednesday, March 27th, happens to be my late brother's birthday. So in his honor, let us continue exploring the theme of Time — its seeming passage and constant presence. He was a professional jazz pianist and teacher of music, and so was fully immersed in time. Once upon a time, while discussing time signatures in music, such as four-four time, three-four time — the familiar waltz tempo — and so on, he leaned toward me, a mischievous smile on his face, saying that, “You know, there is also ‘one-one' time” – counting off with his forefinger: “One-one-one-one.” He and I had many such dialogs at the intersection of music theory and Zen thinking. He has since passed on, sitting in with that great jazz combo in the sky. I bet he draws a crowd. (Some of the material in what follows originally appeared as my Dharma Byte of the month, titled “Swords into Plowshares,” in 2020, when the pandemic was in full swing.) In that message, and at that time, I made the point that privileging the survival of the oldest is not Nature's way; it is usually the survival of the fittest. It is not natural to put younger members of the species at unreasonable risk, in order to protect the older members. This goes against the natural order, as we witness in survival strategies of wildlife, as well as in social structures of the earliest human tribes. The survival of the species dictates age-related triage, in favor of those most likely to survive, to live longer, and to reproduce. Exceptions always arise to prove the rule; Nature is not simple. Yet humans reverse this natural logic, in wartime as in the example of the military draft, as well as in recruiting methods for police officers and firefighters. People in their late teens and early twenties often enter into dangerous occupations, in service to the larger community. Those who study such things tell us that neurological networks, including the brain, are not yet fully formed at that age, recognition and fear of mortality typically arising about the mid-twenties, when the brain finishes wiring, as we say. We were doing it again in the face of the pandemic, sending younger first responders into the fray, while protecting elderly and senior members by isolating and quarantining them. I have reported on my own encounter with COVID 19, which dragged out for the better part of a year, beginning with a three-month up-and-down sickbed recuperation from congestion and other flu-like symptoms, followed by slow recovery of lost strength, flexibility, balance, energy, and the kind of “brain fog” associated with “long covid,” the lingering effects on the nervous system. As part of that recovery, I developed an aggressive approach to the sitting posture and its relationship to the breathing process of Zen meditation, as well as to walking meditation, with its focus on physical balance. At about the time I began returning to morning meditation sessions, the new era of private billionaire space exploration was heating up, with more frequent launches than ever seen in the history of NASA. Perhaps this was a subliminal prompt to my beginning to count my breaths down to zero, in contrast to the usual counting up from one to four or more, and avoid counting beyond ten, as are common recommendations in Zen. With an initial, deep inhalation, I would hold the breath for a count of eight or so, while doing a full-body crunch, tensing the core muscle groups, as well as my newly stiffened legs, and weakened arms and shoulders. With the exhalation, I would intone “nine,” then “eight” for the next cycle, and so on, down to “one,” and finally, “zero.” After repeating this pattern for a half-dozen times or so, I would settle more quickly and deeply into the period, while the counting and muscular effort naturally subsided. A curious thing began to happen each time I would reach zero in the count. By then, my breath would have slowed to five or so cycles per minute, and I could feel my heartbeat. So I found myself counting my heartbeat, instead of my breath. Or rather, noticing how many heartbeats accompanied each cycle of breath. The heartbeat is clearly the metronome of our instrument, the body. And number, or counting, is clearly fundamental to our worldview, intrinsic to all design thinking and measurement, and basic to Zen's nondualism: “leaping aside from the one and the many,” as Master Dogen reminds us. As my breath slowed to a lower, slower tempo, my pulse also slowed, synchronizing with the breath. This resulted in a profound degree of stillness in both posture and breath, as well as fixed gaze, affecting my overall sphere of attention, reminding me of Matsuoka-roshi's comment that the “real zazen” is manifested when the posture, breath and attention all come together in a “unified way.” And that it feels as if you are “pushing the crown of your head against the ceiling” — “mountain-still” stability. I began to feel that unification viscerally, encompassing the apparent “outside” and “inside” dimensions of awareness. Familiar, but more intense than ever before. I call this “returning to zero.” There are many phrases in the lexicon of Zen that seem to be pointing to this same kind of experiential phenomenon, such as Master Dogen's “backward step”; the ancient phrase “Shi-kan” meaning something like “stopping and seeing”; the “shamatha-vippasana” pairing of insight meditation; et cetera. The process of letting go — primarily of our own preconceptions, interpretations, and opinions of direct, sensory experience; and by extension, of our concepts and constructions of the world, trying to explain this reality to ourselves — seems inherent in all major systems of cultivating realization. That the method is so quintessentially physical, is what is striking about the Zen approach to just sitting still enough, straight enough, for long enough. The idea, or concept, of “zero” has philosophical and psychological implications as well. The common trope of the “zero-sum game” is a case in point. The definition online: A zero-sum game is one in which no wealth is created or destroyed. So, in a two-player zero-sum game, whatever one player wins, the other loses. Therefore, the players share no common interests. There are two general types of zero-sum games: those with perfect information and those without. This amounts to another version of the meme: that if there are winners, there must be losers, so there can be no actual win-win. This ignorant assumption unfortunately informs much of what passes for political discourse, and socially conservative ideology.I refer you to the lectures of R. Buckminster Fuller for a fuller exposition of the limitations of the view that there is not enough to go around, and the survival of the fittest means that we must, above all, ensure that we get ours, to hell with the losers. Such innovations as the guaranteed minimum income are beginning to crack the facade of this fundamental error. The last line, concerning the dual nature of the zero-sum game being dependent upon “perfect information,” may provide a clue as to how the notion of winning and losing connects — or doesn't — to the personal practice-experience of Zen. Beyond a direct “return to zero” — the personal dimension of awareness on the cushion — there is a returning to zero on the social level, as well as within the natural and universal spheres. In his rephrase of a Ch'an poem, Zazenshin, meaning something like “lancet” or “needle” of zazen, Master Dogen wraps up the penultimate stanza with: The intimacy without defilement is dropping off without relying on anything.
The verification beyond distinction between Absolute and Relative is making effort without aiming at it. This experience of “intimacy without defilement” is the zero sum point of zazen: nothing to be gained and nothing lost; nothing excluded and nothing extraneous, nothing to share with others – it is too intimate, too close in time and space. The fact that at this point we cannot rely on anything, is another aspect of Zen's “zero” sum. We sit “without relying on anything” as Master Dogen reminds us, including all the tricks and trinkets we have painstakingly assembled in our toolkit. Our toolkit is exhausted, the tools we usually rely on, relatively or absolutely useless. “Absolute and Relative” constitute one of the last resorts of dualistic thinking; the fundamental bifurcation of “truth” in Buddhism is usually stated as absolute truth versus relative truth. So this “verification” must be of a different order altogether, one that is immeasurable. So far beyond any measurement, is this realization — though there is continuing effort, it is no longer aiming at anything. This means that there is ultimately nothing of significance to gain or lose in relationships in the social sphere, nor do we have to distort our relationship to biology, our connection to the resources of Natural ecology. In terms of resolving the Great Matter of life and death, we can embrace the inevitability of aging, sickness and death as the central koan — one that comes bundled with birth — the illogical riddle of existence itself. We no longer have to rely on life, itself. Here and now, we arrive at the final zero-sum game. Whether or not we believe in an eternal soul, and its resurrection, as do modern Christians; or in reincarnation, as did the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Hindus; or rebirth as taught by Buddha, as a corrective to reincarnation; we finally come to face our mortality close-up and personal. It is natural, and universal, whatever its interpretation by the social milieu in which we find ourselves. According to an old Zen metaphor, the only “mate” who will accompany us to the grave, is our deeds. Whatever wealth, honor, power, or powers of reasoning we may have accumulated in managing and manipulating the vagaries of fate and vicissitudes of fortune encountered in life, they serve us little in the face of death. Try as we might to think our way to enlightenment, or to reason ourselves into insight, we find ourselves failing again and again. Finally, we must surrender to the chaos of not knowing, and abandon our reliance on reason itself — spawn of philosophy and that other kind of Enlightenment, the triumph of reasoning over belief. Instead, we find verification of our Zen practice in “making effort without aiming at it.” Needless to say, this is a very uncomfortable place to find oneself, at a pass that is not really negotiable, in any ordinary sense. Paraphrasing Seikan Hasegawa, a Rinzai master, from The Cave of Poison Grass, he reminds us that putting off confrontation with this particular koan of aging, until we find ourselves on the death-bed, is futile: “like eating soup with a fork.” We need to confront this koan when we are young and vigorous — “Stamp life and death on your forehead, never letting it out of your mind” — another Zen pearl of wisdom long lost to attribution. Life takes its meaning in the context of death. If you find that too morbid, just imagine what life would be like if we did not die: Its meaning would be entirely different, and not entirely positive. When the grim reaper arrives, we may want to embrace her relentless, unforgiving and unsympathetic scythe, as being no different from the sword of Manjusri, cutting through our final delusion. Preferable to die on the cushion, of course. As Kosho Uchiyama reminds us, our whole world is born, and dies, with us. “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.” In contemplating our inevitable demise as a loss of something, we have to remember that it amounts to returning to where we came from, a kind of null hypothesis that the effect we are dreading is not measurable, or sums to zero: In scientific research, the null hypothesis is the claim that the effect being studied does not exist. Note that the term "effect" here is not meant to imply a causative relationship. That last caveat calls to mind the famous Zen koan concerning Baizhang, or Hyakujo, and the fox. The point goes to the question of whether or not an enlightened person would be subject to, or free from, the law of causality. The ancient master responds: “Free from,” and is condemned to be reborn as a fox for five hundred (fox) lifetimes. Baizhang kindly corrects his confusion with something like: “One with causality” or “We do notignore causality,” which liberates the old man. If we fear death — or, conversely, seek it out; fearing life, instead — we have made an assumption that we know what life is, but do not know what death is; or, conversely, that we prefer death over life; or vice-versa. Either side of this formula ignores the fact that the overall equation inevitably sums to zero. I came across a pamphlet titled “The 11th Hour,” in my brother's hospice care clinic, wherein its Christian, female author clarified: Birth is the death of whatever precedes it; death is the birth of whatever follows” — refreshingly without bothering to define the “whatever.” In the next segment — speaking of zero-sum games — we will return to pick up the monthly thread of “Election Year Zen,” now that we have surpassed Super Tuesday, in this year's endless campaign cycle. This, too, is the Dharma.* * * Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion House was a marvel of modern technology that promised to create freedom by liberating the mind and curing all of society's problems... so why aren't you living in one right now? https://order-of-the-jackalope.com/fuller-houses/ Key sources for this episode include Jonathon Keats' You Belong to the Universe: Buckminster Fuller and the Future; Lloyd Steven Sieden's Buckminster Fuller's Universe: His Life and His Work; and Michael Brian Schiffer's Spectacular Flops: Game-Changing Technologies That Failed... but especially Lorettta Lorance's Becoming Bucky Fuller, which is both the most thorough and most critical biography of Fuller and definitely worth checking out.

In this episode I visit Gregg Fleishman's studio in Los Angeles a few weeks after our trip to Thailand together to build some of his structures for Wonderfruit Festival. Gregg began his journey in architectural design in the concrete industry in the 1970's and has since developed his work into massive 3D geometric puzzle pieces of wood. Now his work has been highlighted at Burning Man - even building the temple of 2007, Lucidity Festival, Wonderfruit Festival, and more. His genius is evident in his endless designs for joinery and nodal mechanisms as his work is free of any metal, screws, or nails. All pieces fit together very specifically. Yet this is also why the structures are so user friendly - if you know the order of operations.

In today's world, we're caught between two failure cultures. One tells us that it must be avoided at all costs, while the other tells us to "fail fast” and often. The issue is that both approaches lack the necessary distinctions to help us separate good failure from bad. Today, we're joined by author, scholar, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School, and champion of psychological safety, Amy Edmondson, who believes that we need to reframe our understanding of failure and discover what it means to “fail well.” In this episode, we discuss her latest book, The Right Kind of Wrong, and gain some insight into the inherent relationships between organizational learning and change management, psychological safety and innovation, and failure and the creative process. Tuning in, you'll learn when to quit, when to experiment, and how to measure your failure performance, plus you'll also hear some remarkable stories that illustrate what it means to be a hero of failure! Believe it or not, there is a science to failing well, and Amy Edmundson is here to provide us with a practical framework to think, discuss, and practice failure wisely.Key Points From This Episode:Amy's roots in organizational learning and the journey her career has taken since.The NYT article that put her studies of psychological safety on the global map.A look at the relationship between psychological safety and idea generation.Cultivating the idea of failure as input rather than outcome: it's part of the process!What we can learn from “failure heroes” like Thomas Edison and Buckminster Fuller.How to know when you should quit and when you should persist.The playfulness and willingness to experiment that comes with being a hero of failure. Failure diagnostics: practical ways to measure your failure performance.What it takes to be excruciatingly present, why context is shaped by the level of uncertainty, and more from our lightning round with Amy!Insight into Amy's creative process, which starts with a whole lot of conceptualizing.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Amy EdmondsonRight Kind of WrongTeamingThe Fearless OrganizationAmy Edmondson on LinkedInAmy Edmondson on XThinkers50Richard Hackman'What Google Learned in Its Quest to Build the Perfect Team'QuitIDEOOnly the Paranoid SurviveAmerican IconThe Widow ClicquotJeremy UtleyJeremy Utley EmailJeremy Utley on XJeremy Utley on LinkedIn

Today's guest expert, Lyn Alden details out why today's high debt balances & high interest costs are forcing high fiscal deficits... which will require more debt monetization. It's a vicious cycle similar to the 1940s. Buckminster Fuller, the famous architect and systems theorist, famously said: "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." Lyn brings an engineering approach to finance and investing and spends a lot of time looking for better models we should consider adopting as both a society & as individual investors. Could our markets be re-designed to become more efficient & fair? Are central banks the best way to set monetary policy? Is there a better form of money than the current fiat currencies we use? We'll dig in to all those topics and more today with Lyn. ************************ At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world's top experts on finance and money.

The classic mindset of cyber security unmistakably originates from its early leaders: financial services, the defense industrial complex, and big companies that had too much to lose from ignoring what was called at the time “information security risk”. They tried to calculate largely unknowable risks to explain digital concepts to analog executives. They leaned on medieval metaphors such as castles and moats to make formerly arcane technology like firewalls understandable to people who just got their first AOL email address. And Sun Tzu quotes were used to make it absolutely clear that we were in a war against a shadowy, determined enemy that demanded our attention (and a generously sized budget).The cybersecurity landscape now bears little resemblance today to those early days, but far too much of how we reason about our industry is still clearly traceable back to those early days. Kelly Shortridge's Security Chaos Engineering is a sneakily titled book that has less to do with testing technical boundaries and much more to do with modernizing our headspace to accommodate the new, incredibly complex environment we find ourselves in today. Sun Tzu quotes are replaced by Ursula K. Le Guin and Buckminster Fuller. Jurassic park analogies take center stage. Ice cream metaphors and decision trees supported by open source projects make the formerly esoteric approachable. Practical even.Our 1 hour conversation with Kelly covers many of the core ideas in the book she recently published along with Aaron Rhinehart, centering on adopting a mindset of evaluation and experimentation. A common thread running through the dialogue is that of empowerment: we live in a privileged time where much of what we do now can be stress tested to build resiliency. And that this is a far more sane approach given modern complexity than attempting to comprehensively model risk and prevent attacks. Cat and mouse? No, we and our adversaries are peers on equal footing who are capable of both offense and defense. The future, and the present for those who lean into it, is much more Spy vs. Spy than Tom and Jerry. We hope this dialogue takes you at least one step closer to it.

“It's, you know, all but hardwired to resist failure, to not want to be blamed. You know, it's an instinct that's very, very powerful because we don't want to be rejected. We don't want to be thought less well of, which is why, you know, the things that I write about and let's face it, organizations that are truly world class, whether it's a scientific laboratory or, you know, an innovation department, or you know, a perfectly running assembly line, they are not natural places, right? They're not just left to their own devices, humans will create places like that. No, they're really hard work, good design, good leadership, kind of daily willingness to kind of stretch and grow independently and together. And the short way to put that is it takes effort to create a learning environment. It really does, but it can be done.” So says Amy Edmonson, the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School. Early in her career, she worked as the Chief Engineer for architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller, which started her on the road to reimagining how we're all impacted by the world around us. She then became the Director of Research at Pecos River Learning Centers, where she designed change programs in large companies. Now she's an academic, where she focuses on how teams function and evolve, along with the essential dynamics of collaboration required in environments that are informed by uncertainty and ambiguity. What sort of environments are those? Almost all work environments. A significant point of her research and focus is the necessity of psychological safety in teamwork and innovation—effectively, how do you create an environment where people feel like they can fail in the right direction, where they're learning and taking risks toward evolution and growth even when they might not get it right the first few—or few hundred—times? This is the focus of her latest book, Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well.  MORE FROM AMY EDMONSON: Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
