ROMAN KINGSHIP: FROM CITIZEN SELECTION TO THE IDEAL OF SERVICE Colleague Professor Edward J. Watts. Early Roman kings were selected by citizens based on merit rather than heredity, but figures like Servius Tullius began bypassing this consent. Conversely, Cincinnatus exemplifies the Roman ideal of service; he accepted absolute dictatorial power to save the state during a crisis, then immediately resigned to return to his farm.

“To grow to an 8-figure business, you have to fire yourself – let go of doing all of the things that you think you have to do as the founder, as the advisor, and really let go so you can step into this visionary leadership role that most founders want to be in.” Julia Carlson In this conversation, Julia Carlson shares how she grew her practice from scratch, building a dynamic team and eventually stepping into a visionary leadership role (yes, “firing herself” in the process). You'll hear about her dedication to helping both retirees and entrepreneurs, her passion for holistic financial planning, and her mission to inspire 1,000 entrepreneurs to each give $1 million to causes they care about, ultimately creating a $1 billion movement for good. Whether you're looking for insights on scaling a business, creating meaningful differentiation, building a powerful team culture, or simply finding happiness and balance as an advisor, you'll find Julia brings both practical strategies and a refreshingly authentic perspective. Bill and Julia Discuss: How leaders shift from rugged self-reliance to collaborative leadership as their firm scales. How her Retirement Readiness Checklist becomes a magnet for her Right-Fit Clients. The power of serving both pre-retirees and business owners and how this dual focus fuels deeper relationships. Why Julia chose organic growth over acquisitions and what that has meant for her firm's culture, trust, and scalability. The impact of embedding generosity into a business model and how the $1 Billion for Good movement inspires teams and clients alike. Why modern advisors must blend investment + insurance + planning into one holistic approach.

Invest Like a Billionaire - The alternative investments & strategies billionaires use to grow wealth
David Neidig recently had a liquidity event, selling his family business. So suddenly, he's shifted from a business owner mindset to an investor mindset. We dig into how he's making that leap and why he's going for alternatives. Plus, we get to hear about his unique sale: he sold the business via an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan).

#718 Quilting might not sound like a “high-growth” business at first glance — until you meet Mike O'Dell, founder of Legit Kits, a company turning quilt patterns into ready-to-sew works of art! In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with Mike to unpack how he went from working as a certified registered nurse anesthetist to building a fast-scaling product business that's already crossed seven figures. Mike explains how Legit Kits simplifies quilting by shipping pre-cut fabric kits + foundation paper patterns, why he designs everything using straight-line “low poly” artwork, and how he's grown through a mix of Shopify sales, quilt shows, wholesale distributors, and a thriving Facebook community. They also dive into the real behind-the-scenes of entrepreneurship — from COVID setbacks and supply chain chaos to ditching digital downloads due to piracy — plus why Mike says he's not selling fabric… he's selling dopamine! What we discuss with Mike: + Legit Kits: quilt patterns + fabric kits + “Ready-to-sew” quilting made simple + Foundation paper piecing explained + Low-poly, all straight-line designs + Copyright + licensing approach + Nurse anesthetist to entrepreneur + Real estate + early business endeavors + First sales: boosted Instagram posts + Revenue streams: online, shows, wholesale + “Selling dopamine,” not fabric Thank you, Mike!

In today's episode, I'm continuing what I started in episode 536 and 538 - where I wanted to turn a Rocketeer figurine that I found on eBay in to an articulated action figure. In this episode, I got into finishing up the first casting and adding joints to that one and subsequent duplicates. In the end, I accomplished my goal of seeing if I could turn a static Japanese gashapon Rocketeer figurine that I didn't want to destroy into an articulated resin action figure, giving me new ideas on different ways to make customs.Pictures: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2025/12/15/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-540-and-like-a-hood-ornament-85-wrapping-up-the-rocketeer-resin-casting-project-finishing-the-figures/∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!

The British economy is shrinking. Figures just released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that GDP fell by 0.1 per cent in the three months to October. The contraction came after growth of 0.1 per cent in the three months to September. On a monthly basis, the economy shrank by 0.1 per cent in both September and October after remaining flat in August. Is growth really Labour's priority? And what impact is all this doom and gloom having inside the party?Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and Tim Shipman.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

PREVIEW — Peter Berkowitz — Classical Liberal Arts Education and Roman Republic Heroes. Berkowitz argues that modern liberal arts education has systematically severed its intellectual connection to Roman Republic heroic figures including Cato and Cicero, classical exemplars of republican virtue and liberty who profoundly inspired the AmericanFounding Fathers and shaped their constitutional vision. Berkowitz laments that few contemporary university students or faculty members possess the requisite cultural heritage, classical education, or imaginative capacity formed by engagement with these ancient standards of philosophical liberty, political virtue, and republican governance, thereby depriving new generations of the intellectual and moral foundations that undergirded American constitutional democracy and republican principles. 1789 NEW YORK

PREVIEW — Ken Vogel — Hunter Biden and Foreign Influence Peddling. Vogel discusses Hunter Biden'sdocumented involvement with Chinese business figures and financial entities, noting Hunter's own stated "wonderment" regarding the sophisticated networks he accessed and his acknowledged awareness that his personal value derived fundamentally from his family surname and paternal political connections to Vice President Joe Biden. Vogel argues that foreign entities, particularly Chinese governmental and commercial interests, deliberately targeted the Biden family for systematic influence operations and strategic cultivation, accurately calculating that Joe Biden possessed substantial political authority as a sitting Vice President and remained a viable prospective presidential candidate, making influence investment strategically rational from Beijing's geopolitical perspectives and national interest calculations. 1903
