Command and Control

Command and control in the air domain has always been very different to that of other domains. Much more control, command execute in differnt ways, at different levels, and all captured in the phrase "Best picture has....". How much has been forgotten from former expereinces of air C2 in major contests and competiton? How much are we willing to relearn? How much of the differences in domain specific C2 will be lost as we amalgamate and integrate structures towards a beautifully informed single commander or system, a la Enders Game? Peter talks to former senior RAF officer, Paul Kendall about our understanding of air power in the Western, Supremacy and Superiority, and a contested electronic environment without the freedoms that have been hallmarks of Western military operations since the 1990s.

A quote from Enders Game. “There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy show you where you are weak. Only the enemy shows you where he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. – Mazer Rackham” It's similar to The Art of War. Think about what it means and how we can apply it in our modern lives. Dr. John Medina had to say: Wow. Interesting quote. Did you ever read "The Art of War"? Sun Tzu, written about the time the ancient Israelites were getting their butts kicked by the Assyrians. Favorite line:“If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." Interesting to contrast this with you Rackham quote. If you juxtapose those two philosophical quotes, you get the secret to success. The Wall Street Journal. The conservative paper of record, just caved on immigration. AI Wants to be regulated!!! Why? And how will that go? Hmm I wonder if the laws will be written by lobbyists from the biggest tech companies? Listening to the audio on Podcast Service?

What I learned from reading Showboat: The Life of Kobe Bryant by Roland Lazenby.  Support Founders' sponsors: Tiny: The easiest way to sell your business. Quick and straightforward exits for Founders. andCapital: Raise, hold, and spend capital all in one place. and Tegus is a search engine for business knowledge that's used by founders, investors, and executives. Try it for free by visiting Tegus.[9:15] Notes from The Redeem Team documentary:30 seconds into the first practice Kobe is diving for loose balls. That set the tone.Players go clubbing. Come back at 5:30am and see Kobe working out. "This motherfucker Kobe was already drenched in sweat. Yeah he's different"— LeBron James. By the end of the week the whole team was on Kobe's schedule.Understand the responsibility. I know I'm not going to fucking lose. I am not going to fucking lose. Not when I'm wearing this (team USA jersey) and not at this time in my career. You're going to have to fucking shoot me. That's how I want you to play. — Coach KAt one point you will have a grandkid on your lap and they will ask you weren't you in the Olympics ? What did you do? You wanna say: Well son, we lost to that fucking Greek team? —Coach KWhen you're in the Olympic village you're around people who are the best in the world at what they do. That is more special that celebrities in LA because this is athlete to athlete — I understand what they put their body through to get here. There's so much respect and mutual admiration. —KobeWhat Kobe told team USA going into the 4th quarter: Just think about the play in front of you.[12:07] At every turn his declarations of future greatness have been met with head shaking and raised eyebrows.[14:33]  It's almost like Kobe's insane level of dedication was like compensation for the bad decision making of his father.[15:15] 4 parts to Kobe's blueprint:Master the fundamentalsImprove your weaknessesStudy the greatsConcentrate[15:12] Listening to Founders is like watching game tape of history's greatest entrepreneurs.[15:40] I used to watch their moves and then I'd add them to my game. It was the beginning of a career-long focus on studying game recordings.[15:48] He would invest long hours each day in breaking down his own performances and those of opponents— far more than what any other NBA player would ever contemplate undertaking.[17:08] Jay Z' autobiography: Decoded by Jay Z.  (Founders #238)[21:22] If you're not good, Jeff will chew you up and spit you out. And if you're good, he will jump on your back and ride you into the ground. —The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon by Brad Stone. (Founders #179)[21:58] If you're breaking down tape of Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan and so many other greats, you come to consider them your teachers.[22:39] Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike by Phil Knight. (Founders #186)[23:00] Jordan and Knight certainly shared a competitive nature that bordered on insanity, Moore added. "If you think Jordan and Kobe are competitive, go meet Phil Knight. He's a no bullshit competitor. It's, 'You play for me or I can't stand you, I will kill you.' That's Phil Knight, full stop. And he's not shy about it.”[29:30]  He studied the game harder than anyone else has ever studied the game.[30:00] One day just before practice, the team was informed that it couldn't have the gym due to flooding.“This is bullshit!” he screamed, slamming a ball off the floor. “This is bullshit! We got practice, I want to practice. This is ridiculous!" (He was in high school)[31:10] Kobe had a closet at home filled with critical research. It held all these VHS tapes of Michael's games. [32:00] Kobe on Michael Jordan: What you get from me— is from him. I don't get five championships without him because he guided me so much and gave me so much great advice.[32:22] Sol Price: Retail Revolutionary & Social Innovator by Robert E. Price. (Founders #107)[35:22] Bryant's workout had been so impressive that for Jerry West, it had revealed his heart. It was there in the skill set alone, in some ways, just the amount of work that a player would have to have done to possess such immaculate moves, the footwork and fakes and execution, the hours that must have been put into that kind of perfection.[37:55] Part of his strategy for keeping his disappointment at bay was to focus on others who had faced far more difficult circumstances. "I read the autobiography of Jackie Robinson," Bryant said. “I was thinking about all the hard times I'd go through this year, and that it'd never compare to what he went through. That just kind of helped put things in perspective."[38:50] Kobe's favorite book was Enders Game by Orson Scott Card. [39:00] The only way he could keep the whole dream going was to work harder and harder and harder, to spin his fantasies around and around until they wrapped him tight in a new reality.[39:45] Estée Lauder: A Success Storyby Estée Lauder. (Founders #217)[41:00] I think that game was vital to how good he became. That level of embarrassment to happen to somebody like him? The next year he came out like a fucking maniac.[41:15] Leading By Design: The Ikea Story by Bertil Torekull. (Founders #104)[46:03] Michael Jordan: The Life by Roland Lazenby. (Founders #212)[47:00] The best book on the emotional toll entrepreneurs experience:  Against The Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson (Founders #200)[54:15] Highly competitive personalities like Jordan and Bryant could absolutely kill a team atmosphere with displays of ruthlessness or selfishness.[55:22] He stands up, points around the room and says, You motherfuckers don't belong in the same court with me.You're all shit. And he walked out of the locker room.[56:07] 4 ideas from Kobe:Search for your limitsExtreme personal practiceResourcefullness—find a way.Study the greats[57:39] He was one of the rare few who simply cared far more about the game than anyone else.[1:02:24] The Mamba Mentality: How I Play by Kobe Bryant [1:02:53] Why Warren Buffett reads annual reports brought to you by Tegus[1:09:03] Steve Jobs on why marketing is about values brought to you by Capital[1:13:36] Warren Buffett masterclass on how to differentiate your product brought to you by Tiny—“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

In this second part of “What Is Science Fiction?” episode, we review our top 5 picks for science fiction across all forms of media. We make these choices through the lens of the ways in which we defined science fiction from part 1 of this episode. We discuss Star Trek, Star Wars, The Expanse, Ghostbusters and more. As always, be alert for poaching ahead. 00:00 James introduces the part 2 episode and we jump back into the podcast starting our discussion with our top 5 favorite science fiction across all media. 3:20 Jack kicks off our top five lists with his tied picks: “The Day the Earth Stood Still” and “Forbidden Planet” 6:30 Chris gives us his number 5, “Dark City;" this starts a conversation about the movie and we end up comparing it to “The Matrix." 9:50 We turn to Joe, who came to the podcast with three lists for his favorites: one for movies, television, and books. His number 5 choices are the novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep," the movie “Ghostbusters," and the television show “Warehouse 13." 12:54 James reveals his number 5 pick is a tie between “The Fly” (1986) and “John Carpenters The Thing” - both horror science fiction. 17:10 Jack shares his number 4 pick: the movie “Gattaca.” 19:20 Chris gives us his number 4 pick: “Star Wars." Chris then explains how Star Wars was his gateway to other science fiction, despite itself being more sci-fi fantasy. 24:24 Joe gives us his number 4 picks starting with the novel “The Man in the High Castle." , “2001: A Space Odyssey.” His number 4 television pick is “Eureka." 31:35 James gives us his number 4: “Star Trek: First Contact." He uses it as a way to speak about Star Trek as being an important part of his love for science fiction. 35:15 Jack reveals his number 3, which consists of both the book and the movie - H.G. Wells “The Time Machine."Jack talks about the themes in the book and movie, as well as the visuals that the movie presented. 39:16 Chris warns that his number 3 pick possibly includes an asterisk: the television series, “Farscape.” Chris gives us an overview of the series and the highlights that drew him to it. 44:45 Joe gives us his number 3 choices, beginning with Alfred Bester's novel, “The Stars My Destination," continuing with the movie “Star Trek: The Voyage Home," and ending with his television pick, “Babylon 5." 50:03 James gives us his number 3 pick: “Jurassic Park,” both the movie and the book. 52:33 Jack's number 2 pick is “Contact:” both the movie and the book. Jack shares an overview of the movie and book, noting how it has a very few miracle exemptions. 56:43 Chris reveals his number 2 choice: the book “Enders Game." He first notes that he does not agree with nor respect Orson Scott Card's publicly homophobic and hateful views, but moves into talking about the merits of the book and the importance of its message. 1:01:37 Joe gives his number 2 picks, starting with the book “The Foundation Series” by Isaac Asimov. His television series choice is “Star Trek: The Original Series," and his number 2 movie is “E.T”. 1:04:44 James gives his number 2 with an asterisk, the movie “Iron Man." James talks about Iron Man, but also how strongly the science fiction in the Marvel Universe influenced him. 1:06:45 Jack reveals his number 1 pick: the movie, “Arrival,” based on the work by Ted Chiang. He calls back to the first part of our discussion on how the introduction of the novum affects the main character. 1:12:10 Chris shares that his number 1 pick is the book series as well as the television series, “The Expanse." Chris gives a loving overview of both the written and filmed series.

In this episode, hosts Alan Sanders and Walt Murray sit down for a chat with the host of the Von Haessler Doctrine, Eric Von Haessler. Although the goal was to start at the beginning, the discussion took on a life of it's own. Rather than the usual trip down memory lane, Alan and Walt spent time chatting with Eric about our current cultural state. It's impossible to know the fullest extent of social media and the internet, but it's hard to ignore the impact on society. From celebrities to politicians, becoming and influencer is akin to the accumulation of power. It's no longer about the will of the people or the Founding Fathers. Rather, it's about popularity and likes, follows, and retweets. This discussion eventually does turn to the creation of The Von Haessler Doctrine. Eric spends time talking about his evolution from The Regular Guys to 911 to losing his job. But, after years of struggling to stay relevent, working on a daily podcast, the opportunity arose to return to the airwaves with a brand new show. Since then, Eric has never looked back, focused squarely on the future of his show and, concurrently, on the future of our great Republic. After the interview, Eric hangs out as Alan and Walt dive into some strange news items, weighing in on them with his own brand of humor. Then, to wrap up the show, all three dive into the entertainment segment where they discuss what they've been watching, reading and listening to over the past week. WATCHING Walt has been diving into season 3 of Lost in Space. He also re-watching We Were Soldiers with Mel Gibson and the documentary The Pacific. Alan continues to give The Wheel of Time a chance, but even after five episodes, he is dubious. He loves the Disney+ series, Hawkeye, which is on episode 3. With the holidays upon us, Alan also watched Die Hard. He then revisited Enders Game, streaming in 4K. He loves watching the YouTube channels, Ashleigh Burton, Popcorn in Bed and The TRY Channel. Eric is starting on the new seasons of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Expanse. He also loved the new documentary, Get Back, on Disney+. READING Walt is finishing, "Killing the Mob,'" and is next set to read, "Killing LIncoln.." Alan has completed, "Dune." Eric has been into, "2666," and, "The Savage Detectives," by Roberto Belano. Eric is also deep into the science book, "The Big Picture," by Sean M. Carroll. LISTENING Walt continues to listen to the Radio Labyrinth podcast. He also just listened to the most recent episode of the WTF with Mark Maron interviewing guest, Benedict Cumberbatch. He also was on The Dirty Harry Minute discussing the film, Sudden Impact. Alan never misses new episodes of the 60MW Podcast, The Time Bandits Minute and continues to listen to a ton of Christmas music. Eric has been listening to the Beatles catalog and any shows that have to do with whether or not Shakespeare really wrote those plays.

Episode 84: Maury Rogow: Every Corporation Will Have A Metaverse Strategy

Maury Rogow builds a solid case that your brand will live or die based on the story you tell in the metaverse. Maury is a pioneer in applying the art of storytelling to convey the value of technology in the Internet age. He built a successful approach to storytelling that made direct contributions to the success of some of the most important firms in the early wave of Internet companies. He later leveraged storytelling expertise and insights into a career in Hollywood which included producing films and helping craft storylines. After six years in Hollywood he shifted focus to how to help major brands tell their stories. His company Rip Media Group has helped companies from multiple sectors of the economy leverage the mobile Internet and video to improve their marketing and storytelling. Today Rip Media Group, is preparing for another big shift, the transition to the age of the Metaverse. In this OODAcast we dive deep into how Maury sees the Metaverse shaping corporate strategies and ways leaders should be positioning themselves to serve the early adopters of the coming Metaverse. What does Maury see coming? The metaverse is the third big wave of change to sweep across the Internet. The first was the client server world of the initial Internet. Then the video mobile world of the last decade. Now the metaverse promises to be just as, or maybe even a bigger change than those first two shifts. Maury encourages us to think of the Metaverse today as an infant, so new that it is hardly functional yet. But there is enough there to see something incredible is coming. Those that are grasping the power and potential of the coming metaverse today are those that are probably interacting with large online communities like those around the big 3D games. There are other use cases including medical, healthcare, industrial and retail already coming into focus. But all are in their infancy. The real power of the Metaverse will come when users will have persistence across multiple platforms including an ability to exchange value and be productive. An example of a retail metaverse is RedFox, which has built a shopping mall which enables retail, entertainment, interaction with others and a blended approach to purchasing that bridges the virtual and real worlds. We discuss retail and the huge economic potential for retail in the metaverse. We also discuss how just becoming part of the metaverse is not going to guarantee success. It will take marketing and advertising that helps people understand why to visit an online destination. Maury has crafted campaigns for metaverse companies already, and has found success by building stories that leverage timeless storytelling practices. When it comes to marketing to bring attention to metaverse capabilities, he describes his methods with an acronym that helps people understand the importance of action. The acronym is STUFF, which stands for: 1. The sizzle and sexy elements of a story 2. Touching or nostalgic story 3. Unexpected or unique 4. Funny 5. Fear of something We dive into several use cases other than retail, including how metaverse enabled technologies are already helping in delivery of healthcare. The use of the metaverse for testing and training for the military, the use of the metaverse for education, real estate, legal advice, and business planning was also examined. Maury and Bob discuss views on the great SciFi stories that have helped people understand the potential of the metaverse, including Snowcrash, Neuromancer, Enders Game, Ready Player one. SciFi stories can help conceptualize potential benefits and also potential pitfalls and problems. One example of the latter is conceptualizing security challenges, something rarely discussed these days.  Bob mentions two SciFi stories that can help us think through security issues related to the metaverse, one from Star Trek (Kirk hacked the Kobayashi Maru scenario) and one from Ready Player One (there was a credential theft scene). Bob and Maury discuss the "so-what" of potential security issues in this domain.  Clearly as we build our metaverse we really have to think about security, privacy and counter crime. Maury's advice for corporate metaverse strategies: We are early. Which is good! Get involved nad keep a watchful eye on the space The worst decision you can make is to do nothing. As you build your metaverse strategy, build your communication strategy and know how you are going to tell your story across the brand. Related Resources: Rip Media Group Maury Rogow on LinkedIn The Metaverse at OODAloop The Metaverse Is Coming And It Will Disrupt The Current Internet The age of the Metaverse is upon us. The Metaverse is the successor to the Internet of today. It is a future state that will include persistent interoperable virtual worlds and the platforms required to support and interact with them. It will have its own thriving economy and deliver experiences unavailable in the physical world. It will be a primary means of educating our youth and delivering knowledge through life, and will be a leading form of social interaction and entertainment.

Welcome, Discerning Listeners, to our 50th episode — our Season 1 Finale. For this landmark episode, we’re reviewing both the book *and* movie of the sci-fi classic…”Ender’s Game.” This is a story that has captivated three of us since high school, and now we’ve introduced it to Andruw as well. Join as we discuss the strategy, psychology, story progression, and character development, that goes into a tale about the importance of the child Ender Wiggin in Earth’s alleged survival against an advanced, interstellar enemy. We also discuss the political machinations of his slightly older siblings (at least as portrayed in the book, not the movie). The protagonist Ender Wiggin is pretty much the superstar of his own book, so our review is mostly about Ender himself and how the book gets you inside his head so that you can feel his brilliance, his drive, his fear, his frustration, his stress, and his sense of honor. But, we do also mention that part of the book is based in a city just one county east of us in real life. We do a quick analysis of the book’s title — about the extra meaning behind those two simple words. And, there’s also a discussion about the nature of the enemy, the insectoid Formics. As for the movie, we discuss the usual topics like performances & production quality, but we mostly compare it to the book — the differences in the kids’ ages, the difference in the Battle Room, the shifting around of storylines, etc. Grab your desk computer, your uniform, your flash suit, and an open mind for learning strategy as we get an education into…Ender’s Game. And, following our main discussion, we briefly reminisce about our favorite episodes from Discerning Geeks Portal - Season 1. If you’d like to catch up on what the four of us feel are our best episodes, here’s a handy compilation. #001 - Movie Review - The Martian #004 - Movie Review - Real Steel #007 - Movie Review - Sneakers #012 - Movie Review - Enemy Mine #016 - Water Ya Doin'? - Ocean/Beach/Water Themed Episode #020 - Movie Review - Killer Klowns From Outer Space #023 - Movie Review - The Adjustment Bureau #028 - Movie Review - Muppet Christmas Carol #032 - Movie Review - The Lake House #034 - Dungeons & Dragons One-Shot #01 - Part 1 #035 - Dungeons & Dragons One-Shot #01 - Part 2 #036 - Dungeons & Dragons One-Shot #01 - Part 3 #037 - Discussion Topic - Favorite Sci-Fi TV Characters - Part 1 #039 - Discussion Topic - Favorite Sci-Fi TV Characters - Part 2 #044 - TV Discussion - Best & Worst Series Finales - Part 1 (Best) #045 - TV Discussion - Best & Worst Series Finales - Part 2 (Worst) …And, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that #050 - Book & Movie Review - Ender’s Game will be among the best as well.
