Podcasts about cannonballs

Ahoy, silly sailors!

Its part of living....doing cannonballs.

Sailors once fired musket balls before cannons to test if they were in range. In life, small, low-cost actions often prepare us for bigger risks. In this episode, we explore how to test wisely, gather feedback, and then move with confidence when it's time to unleash the cannonball.You Got This,Ryan

Richard Wesley will not be an Oregon Duck. But don't expect his commitment video to disappear anytime soon. You may remember Wesley as the 5-star EDGE player who signaled his commitment to Oregon earlier this month by jumping into a pool with a shirtless Dan Lanning. As it turns out, Lanning taking the shirt off his back doesn't mean anything in today's college football world, as Wesley decommitted from the Ducks earlier this week. Are the Ducks left in the wake of a cannonball gone wrong? Tyson and Justin discuss this, along with postseason baseball and softball, on today's episode of The I-5 Corridor's Traffic Report.

Send us a textIn this episode, Stuart and Mena introduce Jim Collins' book 'Great by Choice', focusing on how companies thrive in uncertain and chaotic environments. They explore the concept of "firing bullets, then cannonballs," where businesses test ideas with small, low-risk experiments before scaling successful ones. Using Apple as an example, they discuss how the iPod started as a small project but led to the launch of iTunes, which eventually became a multi-billion-dollar revenue stream.The episode highlights the disciplined strategies of 10X companies like Microsoft and Intel, which outperformed their industries by consistently hitting performance benchmarks (the "20 Mile March") and developing Specific, Methodical, and Consistent (SMaC) practices. Stuart and Mena also delve into the concept of "productive paranoia," urging leaders to stay vigilant and prepare for potential risks, even in good times. They close the episode by encouraging businesses to test new ideas cautiously, validate them, and then invest in scaling them, reducing the risk of failure while fostering innovation.If this episode resonated with you, please leave a rating on your favourite podcast platform.

Maeve Sikora, Keeper of Irish Antiquities at the National Museum of Ireland, discusses the significance of the 2,000 artefacts recently obtained by the National Museum of Ireland.

The Queen's navy relies upon cannonballs from the mountains to the west..

Summer is tied to childhood memories. Italian ice. Running through the backyard sprinkler. Hanging out at the beach. Sports are tied to that, too. Kicking a ball down the street. Catching a baseball game. Cannonballs off the diving board. To ring in the summery temperatures, we're collecting stories about favorite sports memories. Whether it's an embarrassing story or a moment of glory. Here's a taste of what we've heard from listeners.

Sonny Boy Terry, born Terry Jerome in Van Wert, Ohio, is a bluesman recognized as one of Texas' - if not one of America's - top harmonica players. After learning the basics, he moved to Houston, Texas in 1981 and began building his experience with the likes of Uncle John Turner, TC and the Cannonballs, and more, and later played in bands and toured domestically and internationally with Jerry Lightfoot, Kinney Abair, and Joe Guitar Hughes. In the 1990s, he founded the 501(C)3 non-profit Houston Blues Society and started building his own band. Now the biggest selling artist on Doc Blue Records, he has been featured on countless songs and has released multiple albums of his own. Terry makes his home in Houston, Texas.

Hessian officer's wife Frederika von Riedesel and her children were nearly shot during the battle of Saratoga.

The guys discuss how you never use the first beak when pulling an accurate measurement, why you can't expect 145 tons of black market chicken to be any cooler than room temperature, and when is the ONLY TIME you'll ever hear a mourner say "we're all better off".instagram.com/thatchecksoutwdtfacebook.com/thatchecksoutwithdamonandtedRecorded at Audiohive PodcastingHosted on Transistor.fm

It's almost Week 1, in the weekly numbering system that's widely used in Northern Europe, where the year starts with week 1 and runs through to Week 52 or 53, depending on the calendar. It's very efficient for planning, so you don't have to say something messy like “What about that week that starts Monday June 3…” Week 1 starts on January 1, and everything follows that in perfect order. But before January 1 we have New Year's Eve, a day that fills me with trepidation to be honest, because in Denmark, New Year's Eve is all about amateur fireworks. Cannonballs, Roman Candles, Ding Dongs, Triple Extremes, these are the fireworks you can purchase and set off yourself in a local parking lot, terrifying any nearby dogs and cats.  Having a family member in the hospital business, I can't help but think that today, December 26, there are a few amateur fireworks fans who have perfectly well-functioning eyes and fingers right now who won't have them on January 2. The Queen's Speech New Year's Eve celebrations start at 6pm, when the Queen Margrethe gives her annual speech, live.  To the uninitiated, this looks like a woman sitting at her desk reading from a pile of papers – she refuses to use a TelePrompter – but it's all been intricately planned, from the clothes to the jewelry to the flowers to the text itself to reflect the themes and priorities of the year gone by. There's even a website that gives odds on what words and themes will appear.  The Queen now keeps her pile of papers together with a paper clip. In past years, she left them loose, and on one particular occasion they got out of order and she had to desperately search through them on air to find her place. The comedian Ulf Pilgaard, a large man who dressed up as a colorful burlesque imitation of the Queen, used to make this incident part of his act, throwing papers up in the air like Harpo Marx. Just as an aside, when this comedian who imitated the Queen retired last year, the Queen herself showed up at his final performance and shook his hand. Having such a good sense of humor about herself is why Queen is so beloved, even by people who do not really like the monarchy.  Some Danes even stand up to watch the Queen's speech on TV. It always ends with “Gud Bevare Danmark”, God Protect Denmark. "Wreath cake"  After the speech, it's dinner time, followed by a very sweet cake called kransekage – which translates to “wreath cake.” It's made of a lot of rings delicately placed on top of each other, in a little tower. There's lot of marzipan involved in this cake. I'm not a marzipan fan myself, but if you are, you'll like this cake.  Read more at howtoliveindenmark.com

When Hudson Taylor landed in China, he was greeted by danger, disappointment, and discouragement. In fact, not long after landing in Shanghai he sent his family a special Christmas present: a 5 pound cannonball - the very cannonball that almost took his life while navigating through war-torn China.As you listen to Hudson's stories about his early years in China, you discover that he's is the kind of guy who can't help but quote scripture and hymns. Cannonballs, death threats, hunger, loneliness - all produced the same result in him: recite the promises God. Hudson is the kind of friend who is always ready to remind you of God's faithfulness.In week 4 of the HeroChallenge, we want you to join with your friend Hudson in believing the promise that God will uphold you, strengthen you and help you - especially during times of adversity.Join in here: HeroChallenge

Make leadership fun again! Timeout with Leaders takes a TIMEOUT with Michelle Ashby, the inspiring founder, and CEO of Tipping Point Communications. As we learned that we would be sitting with Ghondi, MLK JR, and Michelle's mother at her own funeral, we got a sense of who Michelle was. Leadership is all about having fun, Michelle says and in her own journey, she has reprioritized her definition of success and failure, a message we all can learn from today. Life is moving fast and feels like it is speeding up every day. Hit the pause button, get off the hampster wheel, and figure out who you are FIRST, to get back to having fun again in leadership. We all need to take our foot off the gas from time to time in order to reflect, learn and grow.

This is our third “spotlight series” episode where we're reaching out to schools who are doing intriguing progressive practices that could inspire and influence others to do the same. Each has a twist on how their school is operated, and we're bringing in students and teachers to talk about it. They're not all perfect, and they'd all acknowledge there are things they'd change; but there's so much to learn from these schools as we reimagine education in our communities.Today we're featuring One Stone, a student-led nonprofit in Boise, Idaho. One Stone has a variety of initiatives to help students use their voice to change the world. Two thirds of One Stone's board are young people, who have voted to establish multiple initiatives including Project Good: an experiential service program, Two Birds: a student-led creative studio, Solution Lab: a business incubator for young people, and now Lab 51 - who we're talking with today - an independent sliding scale tuition program high school.Lab51 features interdisciplinary, human-centered problem solving which is a collaboration between young people and mentors. Students engage in a variety of selections including “Deep Dives”, which are two-week passion-driven endeavors like photography or wilderness survival, “Immersions”, which are slightly longer and mostly take place off campus, “Cannonballs” which have students experiencing a wide variety of topics in a short period of time, and finally: service- and project-based learning.Joining us are four students: Ian, Reya, Lyla, and Ella and Jesse, who is the Director of Strategic Partnerships.We talk about the fundamentals of Lab51's program, its importance to young people, and how this model could scale and be used within traditional settings.SCHOOLOne Stone's Lab51, a student-led nonprofit High School program in Boise, Idaho, centered on students navigating their path to purpose, promoting their well-being, and self-directing their learningRESOURCESOne StoneLab51BLOB (Bold Learning Objectives)Two Birds Creative Studio (One Stone's student-driven creative studio, you can sign up to work with them!)Wayfinding Mentorship Professional Growth series for educators and mentorsHuman Centered Design for supporting student-driven learning Hosted on Acast.

Everyone knows the famous horns of Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra thanks, primarily, to its presence in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. When used, the viewer is witnessing the advancement of technology -- from bone tools to satellites seemingly floating above the big blue ball called Earth. But Kubrick's vision of the future wasn't unfounded. The ships, floating effortlessly and motionless above Earth, are simply in orbit -- a physics principle that kept the astronauts of Apollo 8 from crashing into the moon, keeps the moon from crashing into the Earth,  and keeps Earth from crashing into the Sun. But how? That's what we dive into today!Topics IncludeIt's fall, y'all!Third consecutive episode mentioning Rings of PowerBone tools, the invention of beat-downs, and imagery of satellitesOrbits: just falling too fast (or not fast enough, depending on your perspective)Cannonballs and thought experimentsWill's soon-to-be famous geography tiradeShutter Shades, LMFAO, and privacy screens for your computerWant to contact us?

What does it mean to fire bullets before cannonballs? Often leaders are too bold or, alternatively, too conservative. Instead of taking too much or too little risk, the concept of firing bullets before cannonballs asks leaders to validate an idea with a series of small, low-risk experiments. Once you have validated your idea, then you can concentrate your resources on a big bet idea.  From Jim Collins - “The ability to turn small proven ideas (bullets) into huge hits (cannonballs) counts more than the sheer amount of pure innovation.” No one is smart enough or experienced enough to know what will or won't work. Only the market can tell us that. People intuitively say something will definitely succeed OR definitely fail. But we don't know. In this episode, Brad and Kevin talk about the fire bullets before cannonballs concept, why it matters and how you can use it in your business.      ----- * Do you love The Growth Whisperers and want to see our smiling faces?

You can't really improve until you start to eliminate (release). Key Part of the Strategy: Focus on Momentum You don't focus on improving everything, you focus on improving what is essential to your momentum, begin eliminating outside that. Fire Bullets, then Cannonballs. Don't just improve the quality, improve the quality around momentum and release programs that aren't momentum contributors.

Hey there, my wise friends and welcome to the podcast and a very happy new year to you, I hope you're having a great start to 2022 and that your Christmas plans weren't too disrupted by the dreaded COVID. We're kicking off this year with an amazing guest, Michael Bungay Stainer, who is well renowned in the coaching world, having written his brilliant book, The Coaching Habit, which really leads into how you can bring coaching into all aspects of your life, whether you are a parent, manager or a teacher. And how it really does inspire creative thinking, and self-sufficiency. I reached out to him as he's just launching his latest book, which is called How To Begin, it feels like really perfect timing. As for many of us, the beginning of a new year is a time to reflect back on last year, and perhaps set some goals for the year ahead. Michael's take on it is to invite you to set a goal that is at the same time thrilling, important and daunting. And his book is a practical tool that will help you to outline your goal in the first place. And then really dig into why it matters, which will in turn help you to stay motivated. There's an old Buddhist saying that the best time to start anything was probably 20 years ago. And the second best time is probably today. So, if you have an idea for something that you want to launch or get off the ground, then this book is definitely one you should consider reading. As Michael says himself, progress equals happiness. And often we find meaning and happiness with small wins every day. That's how we make real progress. Sometimes it can be the smallest little thing that makes the biggest difference. So, this is a book that's really about figuring out what to focus on, and then helping you to take those small steps to find the wins that get you across the threshold towards your goal. So, with that, I'll hand you over to Michael and just say how much I am so grateful to him for joining me to share his wisdom     Michael Bungay Stainer's Website   Wisdom:  Have the curiosity and the courage to find the answer to the burning question inside you   Fire Bullets and then fire cannonballs   Songs:   Rubicon by Bob Dylan   Deeper Water by Paul Kelly

This week on the Hard Hitting Sports Podcast, we start out things a little bit different. We have Ben Porter, a big face on baseball Twitter, joining the Episode. During our Interview with Ben, we discuss his time at Columbia, what he is doing for work now, and, of course, his presence on Twitter. For those who may not know, Ben was nominated for CBS Sports' top Baseball Twitter Accounts for 2020 so you're not going to want to miss this one. We wrap up Ben's Interview with some Baseball Reference Trivia. In the NBA, the top 7 teams in the East Standings (except for the Celtics) had a winning streak prior to Wednesday night. The Jazz have come back down to earth, so the discussion becomes if Jazz fans should be concerned or not. And did Russell Westbrook change the NBA forever? NFL Free Agency is off to a hot start from all of the Patriots moves, to Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston's extension's, to Aaron Jones's extension, and the Chargers beefing up their O-Line, so we cover it all. We also touch on the retirement of Drew Brees and list where we have ranked all time amongst QB's. As always, we end with some late hits! Make sure to check out Ben on Twitter at @Ben13Porter.
