Déjà pointé du doigt pour plusieurs défaillances techniques, le Cybertruck de Tesla fait à nouveau parler de lui pour des raisons bien plus inquiétantes. Selon FuelArc, site spécialisé dans les voitures électriques, le pick-up électrique d'Elon Musk présenterait un risque d'incendie mortel 17 fois supérieur à celui de la Ford Pinto, tristement célèbre pour ses explosions dans les années 1970. Depuis son lancement, le Cybertruck a déjà fait l'objet de plusieurs rappels, concernant notamment les essuie-glaces, les pédales d'accélération et la batterie. De nombreux propriétaires rapportent avoir vu leur véhicule remplacé sans explication par Tesla. Mais c'est surtout la sécurité incendie qui suscite les plus vives inquiétudes. D'après FuelArc, cinq décès liés à des incendies impliquant le Cybertruck ont été recensés sur la dernière année.« Nous disposons désormais d'une année complète de données et d'une étrange prépondérance de Cybertrucks prenant feu, entraînant plusieurs décès. C'est plus qu'il n'en faut pour établir une comparaison avec la Ford Pinto », affirme un analyste du site.Pour parvenir à cette estimation, FuelArc a croisé deux indicateurs :-le nombre de véhicules vendus, estimé à 34 438 Cybertrucks, contre 3 173 491 Ford Pinto commercialisées jusqu'à l'arrêt du modèle en 1980.-le nombre d'incendies mortels signalés pour chaque modèle.Résultat : FuelArc calcule un taux de décès par incendie de 14,52 pour 100 000 Cybertrucks, contre 0,85 pour la Pinto, un chiffre alarmant.Des chiffres à relativiser cependant. Tesla ne communique pas officiellement sur les volumes exacts de production et de ventes du Cybertruck. FuelArc s'appuie donc sur les estimations d'un expert indépendant.Autre sujet de préoccupation : le Cybertruck n'a jamais été soumis aux crash-tests indépendants de la National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), l'agence américaine de sécurité routière. Tesla n'a d'ailleurs pas publié les résultats de ses propres tests internes, laissant planer le doute sur la sécurité réelle de son imposant véhicule de plus de trois tonnes. Bien qu'il ait été présenté en France, le Cybertruck n'est toujours pas autorisé sur les routes hexagonales. Plusieurs obstacles réglementaires et techniques empêchent pour l'instant sa commercialisation, tandis que les interrogations autour de sa sécurité et de sa fiabilité persistent. Hébergé par Acast.

Jason and Derek review their top 10 best (and worst) experiences behind the wheel in 2024. Everything from ulta-rare Porsches, to open-air Lamborghinis, manual-swapped Mercedes (and Ferraris), supercars, hypercars, rally icons, and more! === The Carmudgeon Show Sponsor, Vredestein Tires: https://www.vredestein.com/ Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-Rev === Christmas comes early for us this year (but not quite in time for this episode) in the form of 6 brand new sets of dutch rubber courtesy of our sponsor, Vredestein Tires!  The Curmudgeon's then continue with a discussion about each Carmudgeon's Grandmother's vehicular preferences, which included the likes of the Ford Pinto, AMC Pacer, ‘87 Chevy Cavalier, Saturn SL1, ‘99 Nissan Sentra, Dodge Aries K-car, Dodge Duster 340, and Buick Wildcat.  Then we briefly revel in some sweet, sweet vindication after Car and Driver named the Tesla Model 3 to their 10 Best list, but rejected the G20 BMW 3-Series (as it had the F30 before it) and specifically the G80 M3. The Cadillac CT4 and CT5 Blackwing both made this list, alongside a handful of perennial stalwarts like the Honda Civic, Honda Accord, and GR86/BRZ twins. Afterwards, we recount hanging with Jay Leno while filming 3 separate episodes of Jay Leno's Garage featuring Jason's Mk2 VW Scirocco 16V, E30 BMW 325i Touring, and E31 850 CSi.  And finally, it's time to talk best drives of the year! The boys loved three Ferraris: the 296 GTB, 360 Challenge Stradale (manual-swapped), and F50. Plus one car from Enzo's nemesis: the Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster.  Then, Jason and Derek include wwo Porsches: the 992.1-chassis 911 S/T and 964 Carrera RS 3.8. Both the Bugatti EB110 GT and Veyron made the list, as did another Piëch-era favorite: the VW XL1.  Speaking of VWs, the 1964 Beetle and new ID.Buzz both made the cut as well. What would a Carmudgeon episode be without a smattering of Mercedes products? The W209 CLK63 Black Series (manual-converted), W201 190E 2.5-16, C126 560SEC, and a W124 300E with a Mosselman twin-turbo kit and Zender body!  Two EVs even made the list: the incredible Lucid Air Sapphire and spunky Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Plus some exquisite lightweights: the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint 1300, Lotus Exige V6 Cup, and Lancia Stratos. The worst drives of the year? That honor goes to the disappointing Pagani Zonda and 4-cylinder W206 Mercedes-AMG C63. We end wondering how to rack up miles behind the wheel of our favorite vintage cars safely. One thing we can all agree we need? More time off!   Happy Holidays! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is there a better name for the head of the College Football Playoff committee than Warde? Joe Burrow bought a Batmobile and has thought about pulling up to a game dressed as Batman, but Greg Cote is not very happy about it. Can Joe Burrow make losing cool? Mike Ryan is wearing slacks, and Greg Cote doesn't want to even get started on the Ford Pinto. What was Greg Cote's fourth car? Plus, Smetty and Mike Ryan want Greg to read their new book 50 Shades Of Greg, but, after reading a passage, Greg is refusing to in order to uphold his journalistic integrity. Also, we continue our discussion about the College Football Playoff and revisit Mike Ryan's takes from yesterday including that Syracuse is just as good as Alabama and South Carolina should be in the Playoff.

Joey King was running late, juggling a coffee cup and her nearly-dead phone. Suddenly, a sleek, retro-styled hoverboard—shaped like a Ford Pinto but modernized with neon accents—appeared beside her.“Need a lift?” it asked, its voice calm and friendly. She hesitated, then climbed on, gripping the chrome handlebars. The hoverboard zipped forward, smoothly weaving through traffic, making Joey feel like she was flying.As they neared her destination, Joey couldn't shake the strange feeling this ride gave her. “Why'd you stop for me?” she asked.The hoverboard's voice softened. “I sensed you were going to do something drastic—something that would change who you are. You don't need that to feel beautiful.”Joey blinked, caught off guard. She had been planning to stop by a plastic surgery clinic after her meeting."But...why do you care?" she whispered.“Because beauty isn't what others say it is. It's in the journey—and from where I hover, you're exactly as you should be.”As Joey stepped off, something inside her felt lighter. With a soft hum, the Pinto-like hoverboard floated away, leaving her with a smile and a renewed sense of self. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lee Strobel, award-winning investigative journalist and best-selling author, joins us to discuss his incredible journey from atheism to faith. In this episode, we explore Lee's early career at the Chicago Tribune, where he broke major stories like the Ford Pinto scandal, and his academic path through journalism and law. Lee opens up about his personal life, including his strained relationship with his father and the turning point when his wife, Leslie, became a Christian. Motivated by her faith, Lee set out to investigate the evidence for Christianity, using his journalistic skills to disprove it—only to find the compelling evidence that led him to embrace faith himself. We also discuss the profound impact of his book The Case for Christ and the journey it inspired in his life and work. Join us for an inspiring conversation about truth, faith, and the power of investigation. Each week, Tim and Troy will sit down with interesting people to have thoughtful conversations. The guests will range from celebrities, athletes, academics, doctors, authors, and more. As Tim battles his ALS diagnosis, nothing is out of bounds and there will be nothing left unsaid.

El mundo del motor es un mundo lleno de leyendas y, como no, de leyendas “negras” que afectan a muchos modelos. Pero la pregunta es ¿cuánto hay de verdad en ello? Pues vamos a verlo… porque hay de todo. He elegido estás 10 porque me han parecido las más interesantes, algunas por ser muy conocidas, algunas por ser verdaderas y algunas… por ser falsas, muy falsas… Vamos con ellas. 1. BMW 323i, fabricante de viudas. Muchos coches, por distintos motivos, se han ganado la fama de “fabricante de viudas” como este BMW 323i de la serie E30, fabricada entre 1982 y 1994. ¿Los motivos? El primero es obvio: ¡No había nada de electrónica salvadora! Segundo, hablamos de un modelo de propulsión posterior, con relativamente poco peso en el tren trasero y potente. Porque 150 CV en 1982 y para apenas 1.100 kg, eran caballos. Y tercero, el motor 2,3 litros de 6 cilindros no tenía muchos bajos y necesitaba ir alto de vueltas para ofrecer su mejor rendimiento. Pero considero que en este caso la leyenda negra es… ¡FALSA! 2. Citroën DS, “golpe de raqueta”. Soy fan absoluto, ya lo sabéis, de la suspensión hidroneumática… pero en una de sus primeras aplicaciones, en el DS, no todo era perfecto. Los DS en los saltos, aunque fueran unos instantes los momentos en que la rueda no tocaba el suelo, en vez de minimiza el salto, lo incrementaban… un efecto que se dio en llamar “golpe de raqueta”, porque era como si dieses un raquetazo al coche por abajo. Así que, en este caso, esta leyenda negra es… ¡VERDADERA! 3. Daihatsu Terios. ¡Peligroso! En 1998 Daihatsu quiso hacer un SUV, ¡cómo no! pequeño y asequible. Y diseño el Terios… más bien lo perpetró. Porque es una marca por la que tengo simpática, pero hacer un coche de más de 1,7 m de alto y menos, bastante menos de 1,6 metros de ancho… no puede salir bien. Así que, esta leyenda negra es… ¡VERDADERA! 4. Fiat Ritmo Diesel: Se caía el motor. En 1980 Fiat lanza el Fiat Ritmo con motor Diesel, un motor de 1.7 litros y 55 CV que había sido usado en el Fiat 132, pero colocando longitudinalmente. Los soportes del motor en la cuna del bastidor, los famosos “silentblocks” se deterioraban rápidamente de forma que desaparecían y el motor se “caía” … Conozco dos casos, así que esta leyenda negra es… ¡¡¡VERDADERA!!! 5. Ford Escort Cabrio, chasis “flexible”. Se dice que el bastidor del Ford Escort Cabrio, el de la tercera generación aparecido alrededor de 1985, tenía el chasis de “goma”, que se retorcía fácilmente. En este caso, la leyenda negra es… ¡VERDADERA! 6. Ford Pinto: “Ardiente”. Henry Ford II quería un coche barato y asequible. Y lo quería ya. Y en 1971, diseñado a toda prisa, nace el Ford Pinto. Las prisas nunca son buenas. Y un periodista norteamericano denunció que en caso de impacto trasero el Ford Pinto era proclive a incendiarse… la marca lo desmintió. Luego se supo que esta denuncia era absolutamente cierta y que Ford lo sabía. O sea, que esta leyenda negra es… ¡¡¡VERDADERA!!! 7. Lancia Thema Ferrari, ¡inconducible! Este coche era casi desconocido para los no-aficionados… hasta el accidente del jugador de baloncesto Fernando Martín, una celebridad a finales de los 80 en España. Lo contamos con detalle en nuestro reciente vídeo de “Coches “asesinos””. En este caso, esta leyenda negra es… ¡FALSA! 8. Porsche 911, lastrado. Cuando nació el Porsche 911 tenía un comportamiento del tren delantero errático y delicado… el drama era que el 356, el modelo “viejo” al que el 911 sustituía iba mejor. Dieron muchas vueltas al asunto … y lo resolvieron. ¿Cómo? Colocando dos lastres de 11 kg cada uno en el paragolpes delantero… tecnología “refinada” ... Esto trato de ocultarse, pero esta leyenda negra es… ¡¡¡VERDADERA!!! 9. Reliant Regal… ¡Patas arriba! Este es uno de los modelos nacidos cuando la normativa de Gran Bretaña ofrecía ventajas fiscales a los coches de 3 ruedas… una forma como otra cualquiera de fomentar que se hagan coches malos y peligrosos. Así que, sin duda, esta leyenda negra es ¡VERDADERA! 10. R5 GT “Turbo” … ¡Que entra el turbo! - “Llegué a una curva, me entró de repente el turbo y me salí de la calzada”. - “Iba por ciudad y al frenar me entro el turbo y me choque con el coche de delante… ¡y eso que llevaba el punto muerto!”. - “Aceleré solo un poco y el coche salió disparado hacia adelante… y me estrellé con el guardarraíl”. Estas son frases reales. Es cierto que el R5 Turbo tenía dos pecados. El primero, muy turbo, es que la respuesta al acelerador, a igual presión, no era siempre la misma. Pero el mayor pescado era ofrecer a un precio muy interesante un coche con un nivel de prestaciones nunca visto. Su relación precio/prestaciones era imbatible en su época. Y lo ponía al alcance de conductores no muy expertos… Así que en este caso podemos decir que la leyenda negra del GT Turbo es… ¡FALSA!

Today we'll be attending the most prestigious vehicle race in the world. You think that sound exciting, well just wait for the off-roading portion.On this episode: we'll take a look at the only car ever compared to a barbecue; we're taking in the only sporting event in history that was later compared by the press to the holocaust; and you'll hear about the first accidental public use of an unintentional horizontal guillotine.Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discussed the upper limits of human reaction time; you would get to meet America's most physically damaged stuntman; you would also be treated to more Dodge Caravan Math than you could fly a rocket bike over; you would learn about a non-sexual, full body invisible burning phenomena; and on-topic, we will look at the history of strange ways people have died at today's events, just in different years.I start this episode with a quaint tale of surviving a highway crash in a Ford Pinto of all things, cover you in minced spectator, and by the end I am going to teach you the horrific fate of drug abuser and former hockey legend, Tim Horton. In the middle, I'm going to do my best to show you in every way possible how automotive racing is the most dangerous sport imaginable, and then why your daily commute is 1,000x duller and even deadlier. RIP my three dead cars. If the idea of getting episodes a little early and ad-free with ridiculously interesting extra material strikes you as a good thing, you can find out more at:www.patreon.com/funeralkazoo All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channelsApple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for moreFacebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday

Matthew Scherer makes the case for bottom-up AI adoption, being OK with not using AI, innovation as a relative good, and transparently safeguarding workers' rights. Matthew champions a worker-led approach to AI adoption in the workplace. He traverses the slippery slope from safety to surveillance and guards against unnecessarily intrusive solutions. Matthew then illustrates why AI isn't great at making employment decisions; even in objectively data rich environments such as the NBA. He also addresses the intractable problem of bias in hiring and flawed comparisons between humans and AI. We discuss the unquantifiable dynamics of human interactions and being OK with our inability to automate hiring and firing. Matthew explains how the patchwork of emerging privacy regulations reflects cultural norms towards workers. He invokes the Ford Pinto (good) and the Titan submersible catastrophe (bad) when challenging the concept of innovation as an intrinsic good. Matthew then makes the case for transparency as a gateway to enforcing existing civil rights and laws. Matthew Scherer is a Senior Policy Counsel for Workers' Rights and Technology at the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT). He studies how emerging technologies affect workers in the workplace and labor market.   Matt is also an Advisor for the International Center for Advocates Against Discrimination. A transcript of this episode is here.

Your Honda, Acura, Hyundai or Kia is selling driving data to insurance companies as an excuse to hurt enthusiasts. And that is disgusting. UPDATE: General Motors has cancelled its OnStar Smart Driver System, which means you can safely keep driving your Blackwing like it was meant to be driven. === Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-Rev === It has recently come to light that three major auto manufacturers have been selling consumer driving data to LexisNexis so that it can be sold to your insurance company and used against you to raise your rates or cancel your insurance. Not only is this a gross violation of your expectation of privacy, but it's also a flawed reporting system. This is especially difficult for Jason, since he so enthusiastically recommends many Honda and Hyundai products — and now has to backtrack. The Civic Type R is off his shopping list together with all Honda, Acura, Hyundai, and Kia products, until their manufacturers can ensure drivers that their data is not being shared. **NOTE: This episode was recorded before Jason drove the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.** Of course, the Carmudgeons don't stop complaining just there, but then go onto a discussion of "corporate conscience" and ethics in engineering including Volkswagen's Dieselgate, the Challenger space ship, the Ford Pinto, and of course Boeing.

Back home, in an attempt to piece together John's fractured timeline, Edie makes indirect contact with a woman who knew John during his Baton Rouge days. She shares a tale starting in San Francisco and ending with five hippies getting pulled over at 2 a.m. in Texas, where John truthfully tells the cop that he's hurrying back to the mental hospital. "They came REALLY close to finding the acid," the woman says of John's substantial business inventory. "I was SO pissed at John that I didn't want to see him any more after that."   Edie soon books a weekend trip to meet Rachel and her small family in Austin. She spends several days focusing on her new sister, which serves as a needed reset following four months of chasing John's dead leads in an attempt to solve a frustrating DNA puzzle.   Get your signed edition of The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery at LittleGirlBook.com.

Was it political progress, or just political theater? The recent Senate hearing with social media CEOs led to astonishing moments — including Mark Zuckerberg's public apology to families who lost children following social media abuse. Our panel of experts, including Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, untangles the explosive hearing, and offers a look ahead, as well. How will this hearing impact protocol within these social media companies? How will it impact legislation? In short: will anything change?Clarification: Julie says that shortly after the hearing, Meta's stock price had the biggest increase of any company in the stock market's history. It was the biggest one-day gain by any company in Wall Street history.Correction: Frances says it takes Snap three or four minutes to take down exploitative content. In Snap's most recent transparency report, they list six minutes as the median turnaround time to remove exploitative content.RECOMMENDED MEDIA Get Media SavvyFounded by Julie Scelfo, Get Media Savvy is a non-profit initiative working to establish a healthy media environment for kids and familiesThe Power of One by Frances HaugenThe inside story of France's quest to bring transparency and accountability to Big TechRECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESReal Social Media Solutions, Now with Frances HaugenA Conversation with Facebook Whistleblower Frances HaugenAre the Kids Alright?Social Media Victims Lawyer Up with Laura Marquez-GarrettYour Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

In 1971 the Ford Pinto was released into the world and soon earned a reputation for being a car that explodes. Despite having that knowledge, the smart guys at Advanced Vehicle Engineers decided to attach a Pinto to a plane to create a flying car. They created the AVE Mizar which took flight in 1973. Also in this episode we'll be covering inventors who were killed by their own inventions and comedians who died while performing.Our sponsor for this episode is Magic Mind!

Software Process and Measurement Cast 783 tackles a classic work intake problem, “Do you have the authority to ask for this work?” Work input processes need to vet more than just requirements.  We also have a visit from Jon M Quigley. Jon and I discussed taking control of your personal growth. It is not your organization's responsibility.  Re-Read Saturday News Chapter 10 of is titled, The Red-Blue Operating System. Marquet starts this chapter with the cautionary tale of the Ford Pinto. The chapter highlights the outcome of the industrial approach to leadership going wrong. My wife had a Pinto when we first started dating. It was our only car and we both remember waiting for it to be recalled, even as we drove to work every morning. We discussed the potential of the fuel tank exploding. What we were oblivious to was the reason for the problem. The failure of leadership and the failure of the decision-making model literally sentenced people to death to achieve a goal.   Previous installments of our re-read of (buy a copy)!

Work input, which includes prioritization and sequencing, is how work gets to an organization or team. If you get it wrong you are throwing time and money away. Simply put, poor work intake means no agile for you. Jeremy Willets and I have written tackling the topic that JRoss Publishing will publish in January 2024. In support of the book, we are building a live, workshop-based course for anyone involved in deciding on what work gets completed!  This includes Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Project Managers, Program Managers, and Portfolio Managers - lots of people are involved which is part of the problem! The workshop will cover why work intake is the biggest challenge to teams and organizations today. Attendees will also learn what to do to solve this challenge. This cohort-based course will combine very short lectures, discussions, and exercises. It will provide space to learn and share with peers. We're using a survey to build a waitlist for the first cohort – link below. We will use the list to alert you when the workshop is available.     Next SPaMCAST  Software Process and Measurement Cast 784 will feature our interview with Michaele Gardner and Brian Hackerson. We talked about Agile Best Self and being in control of our agile.  

Ya sabéis que siempre estoy del lado del automóvil, que soy positivo y procuro defender a su industria, pero… ¡es que a veces las marcas las lían pardas! Hemos hablado de coches peligrosos, de coches que fueron una ruina pero hoy toca hablar de escándalos. Llevaba tiempo detrás de hacer este podcast… pero me daba reparos. Y he decido que no, que hay que contar las cosas. Estar a favor del mundo del motor “no es comulgar con ruedas de molino”. Y es que, sinceramente, hay escándalos que han hecho mucho daño a la imagen de la industria del automóvil y al automóvil mismo. 1. Ford Pinto: Por 11 dólares. (1974) Pongámonos en antecedentes. Podríamos definir el Ford Pinto como un Fiesta “USA-style”. Un coche bonito, práctico y asequible. Hasta aquí, bien. Lo malo es que en casos de choques de alcance la NHTSA americana, algo así como el EuroNcap de allí, descubrió que el bonito Pinto tenía una cierta tendencia al incendiarse. Si piensas que entonces se acabó el escándalo, te equivocas. El escándalo llegó cuando se supo que Ford ya conocía el problema y que las piezas que se tenían que haber cambiado para evitarlo contaban… 11 dólares. Pero la cosa fue a más, porque se descubrió un documento en el que los expertos legales de Ford decían que era más barato pagar indemnizaciones que solucionar el problema. 2. Mercedes Clase A: La prueba del alce (1997) En esos años un grupo de revistas entre ellas la sueca Vi Bilägare pusieron de moda una prueba de esquiva que denominaron “Prueba del Alce”, porque por allí, que se te cruce un alce es relativamente frecuente. Es un Zigzag a 60 km/h. Mercedes estaba trabajando en su primer coche popular de tracción delantera y cuando lo presentaron a la prensa e hicieron la prueba de alce… acabaron volcando. 3. Firestone: 203 muertes (1998) Los neumáticos son claves para la seguridad… y para la inseguridad. En 1998 los Ford Explorer, pick ups potentes y pesados, montaban los neumáticos Firestone en dos modelos, los Radial ATX I y los Wilderness AT. Cuál era el problema… una minucia: La banda de rodadura se desprendía y el neumático estallaba. 4. Ferrari y McLaren: Espionaje (2006) ¡Hablemos de cosas divertidas! Por ejemplo, de F1 y de espionaje… Y te aseguro que es divertido… y estúpido. Nigel Stepney era responsable de pista de Ferrari y prescindieron de él en favor de Luca Baldisseri. Enfadado Nigel cogió unos planos del futuro Ferrari con la idea de dárselos a Mike Coughlan, jefe de diseño de McLaren. 5. Genera Motors: “Autoapagado” (2006) Si en 2006 tenías un Chevrolet Cobalt o un Pontiac G5, entre otros, podía pasar que, inopinadamente, sin venir a cuento, el motor se paraba como si hubieses quitado el contacto. En realidad es que, por culpa de unos bombines defectuosos, se había quitado el contacto. 6. Toyota: Aceleradores defectuosos (2009) ¿Te parecen muchos 2,6 millones! Pues Toyota llamó a revisión a ¡10 millones de coches! El “problemilla” es que el coche se aceleraba solo. Toyota argumento que era un problema de las alfombrillas no originales con las que se enganchaba el acelerador y otras ideas peregrinas. 7. Volvo S60: Ridículo (2010) Imagínate una presentación a toda la prensa internacional de un sistema de seguridad denominado City Safety que supuestamente impedía que el coche chocase contra ningún tipo de obstáculo. En la presentación se lanzaba al coche contra un camión y el coche, muy listo, debería de frenar. Pero la realidad es que se empotro y se dio un bofetón espectacular. 8. Ferrari 458 Italia. “Ardientes”. (2010) Imagínate que te compras el coche de tus sueños, un flamante y precioso Ferrari 458 Italia de unos cuantos cientos de miles de euros… hasta ahí todo bien. Pero un día le das caña al coche en una autopista o en un circuito y al parar, al poco tiempo, ves que sale humito del motor… en pocos segundos el humito es una columna de humo y en otros pocos segundos, tu precioso coche está en llamas. 9. Takata: Récord absoluto (2013) ¡34 millones de coches de 10 marcas distintas fueron afectados por estos airbags! ¿Qué les pasaba? Casi nada. Simplemente se rompían al inflarse y en vez de amortiguar el golpe al conductor le lanzaba metralla a la cara. Sorprende que solo haya 100 heridos y 8 muertes, pero son tantos coches que, seguramente, este problema nunca estará arreglado del todo. 10. VW: El “Diesel gate” (2015) ¿En qué consistía esta trampa? Es muy sencillo: El coche tenía un software que detectaba cuando el coche estaba sometido a un test y cambiaba los reglajes para pasar la prueba. Y cuando detectaba que estaba en un uso normal, el coche corría más, gastaba menos y expulsaba, agárrate, hasta 40 veces más de CO2 del permitido.

Our guest today has one of the most diverse bodies of work of any director we've had on the show. He has worked in multiple genres throughout his decades long career and proven himself to be a filmmaker who kills in any genre space he works in. Having come up in the business along industry friends such as Martin Scorsese and Sydney Pollack, he is part of cinema history as one of the filmmakers creating distinct and memorable work with a style that is unquestionably his own. However, it is a film regarded as one of the best adaptations of Stephen King's most beloved books that has made him an icon of horror In this episode we will be joined by filmmaker Lewis Teague. Often regarded by his peers and fans alike as “underrated”, Lewis first made a name for himself in the genre with the cult classic “Alligator”.  Better than anyone thought an Alligator living in the sewer's movie had any right to be, and featuring a bravura performance by lead actor Robert Forster, “Alligator” has gone on to become a favorite of horror fans. Lewis' 1983 adaptation of Stephen King's “Cujo” is considered by many, including King himself, as one of the ultimate King adaptations. With unbearably taught direction, nerve frying cinematography by legendary cinematographer Jan De Bont and a career best performance by genre royalty Dee Wallace, “Cujo” remains untouched in the canon of Stephen King movies. With a great dry sense of humour and uncanny style for storytelling, Lewis shared with me his youth as a bit of a trouble maker before winding up in the military, finding his way in the hay-day of Hollywood auteurs, his ups and downs in show business and his enjoyment in teaching in his later life. So, let's strap into a Ford Pinto and prepare to have our adrenal glands blown with Lewis Teague! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The 6D effect: When companies take risks, one email can be very powerful., published by scasper on November 4, 2023 on LessWrong. Recently, I have been learning about industry norms, legal discovery proceedings, and incentive structures related to companies building risky systems. I wanted to share some findings in this post because they may be important for the frontier AI community to understand well. TL;DR Documented communications of risks (especially by employees) make companies much more likely to be held liable in court when bad things happen. The resulting Duty to Due Diligence from Discoverable Documentation of Dangers (the 6D effect) can make companies much more cautious if even a single email is sent to them communicating a risk. Companies tend to avoid talking about risk through documented media. Companies often intentionally avoid discussing the risks of what they are doing through permanent media such as email. For example, this article gives some very shady advice on how companies can avoid liability by using "safe communication" practices to avoid the creation of incriminating "bad documents". Often the drafters of these documents tend to believe that they are providing the company with some value to the business. For example, an engineer notices a potential liability in a design so he informs his supervisor through an email. However, the engineer's lack of legal knowledge and misuse of legal vocabulary in the communication may later implicate the company with notice of the problem when a lawsuit arises. I personally enjoyed the use of "when" and not "if" in the excerpt. This is a perverse consequence of how it is relatively hard for companies to be held liable for risks when it cannot be proven they knew about them, even if they did. When an incident happens and a company is sued, evidence about its role in the problem is gathered during what is known as the " discovery " phase of a lawsuit (emails are usually discoverable). When records showing that a company had knowledge of the problem are found in discovery, they are much more likely to be found liable. One email can have a lot of power. The unfortunate consequence of how discovery works is that companies strategically avoid communicating risks via documented media. But there is a silver lining. The threat of liability due to documented communications of risks can have a lot of influence over how cautious a company is. One discoverable record of a risk can be very impactful. I like to call this the 6D effect - the Duty to Due Diligence from Discoverable Documentation of Dangers. A few examples Here are some notable examples of companies being held liable for damages because they ignored documented communication of risks (but there are many throughout legal history). In Grimshaw v. Ford Motor Company, 1981 , Ford was held liable for damages involving a fatal crash with a Ford Pinto because it was shown that leadership within the company ignored warnings about problems with the vehicle's fuel system. In April of this year, a large settlement was reached after the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in London, which killed 72 people. A big factor in the lawsuit was that the company managing the tower had ignored numerous fire safety warnings which were found in discovery. Last year, the Hardwick v. 3M case ended . It was a class action lawsuit from 2018 about the presence of harmful "forever chemicals" (PFAS) in consumer products. The company behind these chemicals was found to have known about risks since the 1970s but was knowingly negligent, which led to a ruling against them. Miscellaneous notes The 6D effect can result from any discoverable communication, but it is especially powerful when the warning comes from an employee of the company itself. If you communicate a risk, it is important to speak up and ...

This is the second installment in our suite on Known Defects and Mass Torts.  Last month, we discussed the Ford Pinto cases from the 1970's.  Today, we are back in present day with another allegation of automobile defects: are auto manufacturers' laudable efforts to go green causing damages to those cars?  Specifically, are the newer soy-based wire coatings and other plant-based coatings particularly enticing to rodents?  Join Steve and Rebecca as they discuss the cases that are currently being litigated around these issues, and how the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act can provide additional avenues for plaintiffs to recover in cases like these.

The Ford Pinto was released in the 1970's as a budget friendly sub-compact car to compete with small cars arriving from Japan. It is frequently ranked as one of the worst cars of all time primarily due to the fact that every once in a while it exploded during collisions.

When purchasing a new car, customers trust that manufacturers prioritize safety. Unfortunately for many, other priorities created a recipe for disaster when Ford developed the Ford Pinto. Not only was this car unable to withstand a crash exceeding a mere 5 mph, but as plaintiffs successfully argued, Ford blatantly ignored safety concerns with simple fixes in order to rush the Pinto to market. On this week's episode, join Rebecca and Steve as they delve into one of the most notorious products liability issues in American manufacturing, uncovering the safety disaster that was the Ford Pinto and how such a massive distributor prioritized profits over public safety.

The controversial 1973 commercial for the memory game Hüsker Dü inspired this episode in which we pepper each other with questions that all start with the phrase "Do you remember ....?" It's a rapid-fire round-up of random things that intrigue us but don't warrant an entire episode. We're talking about Rerun and doobies (or Doobies) and Mouseketeers and Gnip Gnop and our deep-seated fear that touching a Ford Pinto would blow up the world. That's just a small taste of the topics that popped up on in this conversation that could only happen amongst Gen Xers.

In this episode of Cloudlandia, we journey through cottage renovations, explore the landscapes of North America, and decode the power of vision and reach in building successful ventures.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The episode begins with a discussion about cottage renovations, exploring the landscapes of North America, and building successful ventures. The hosts discuss the renovation projects of Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Jackson, the smoky Quebec forest, and the history of the Canadian forest industry. Insight from Peter Zion suggests that even if the U.S. population doubled, there would still be room to spare, and Florida's unspoiled grapefruits are also discussed. They introduce a useful tool called the FAST filter, a quick 15-minute method to help evaluate the success potential of any project. The episode covers three fascinating life roles: everything is invented by someone, no one is really in charge, and life isn't always fair. Productivity strategies involving intense physical feats are discussed, along with the hosts' experiences with rising early and its surprising effects. Steve Jobs' philosophy of creating technology that's not only functional but also beautiful and user-friendly is another compelling topic. The hosts critique Bud Light's marketing choices and emphasize the importance of getting feedback from the right audience. The episode explores the concept of being the buyer in ventures, with examples from Mr Beast's Cloudlandia and the strategic approach of Prime energy drink. Finally, the hosts emphasize the importance of maintaining quality control for your product, finding the right partnerships, and understanding that everything in life and business is a guess and a bet.

Oh yeah, Because we have Quebec, you know yes. Dean Jackson In. Dan Sullivan Canada, in Canada, you always play with that Quebec. Dean Jackson That's right, that's right. It was just separate already. Come on, yeah, yeah. Dan Sullivan But this is a big forest area on the very west side of Quebec which is basically forest. You know, hundreds of square miles of forest. So even though it was a major fire there was, it didn't affect any towns at all because there are no towns. Dean Jackson Right, right, the Great Wilderness. Dan Sullivan There is so much nature in this country. Yes, absolutely. Dean Jackson Yeah, yeah, how's your construction project going? Dan Sullivan Well, we, you know the wheels of government approvals here really grind very slowly, and so we have to get a demolition. We have to get a demolition thing first, and we're going to have it done after the college season, the cottage season is over, and it'll be that'll. You know, that doesn't take very long, that takes a week or two. And then we have to really get the cottage fine tuned. The new design this is second. For those who are listening, this is a joining property that we have with our main tree, so we'll have about 300 feet of frontage on the water with a two, and they go around a bend, and so one of them is facing sort of more west than south and one of them is more south, so there's a curve. Dean Jackson And this is old rock. Dan Sullivan This is, you know, this is Canadian shield rock. Yeah, and this is 4 million years old rock and it's. It's a very striking locale, you know and. Muskoka, of course, is the great cottage country. We're in Halliburton, which is to the east. It's about you know it's about an hour's drive to the east and this was the great forest industry part of Canada like 1800. And the. British Navy came. The British Navy's ships were mainly wood from this area. Dean Jackson Oh well, they had a huge number. Dan Sullivan It was the number one industry in Canada, in what is now Canada, in the 1800. And yeah, and of course they thought, you know, there was just so much natural resource that they just cut and cut and cut. And then somebody said you know, maybe we should replant. Dean Jackson We're going to run out of wood. Yeah, exactly. Dan Sullivan Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, but it goes on forever. I mean it's not just here in Ontario, it's in Quebec, it's in when you get to Manitoba. You know you have all that and it's just goes on forever. So you know, it's no wonder that you know the big complaint about modern Canadians and modern Americans, how wasteful they are. Well, when you've lived your whole culture where you couldn't run out of things. It doesn't make you particularly, you know, stingy. It doesn't make you, yeah. So but I was thinking about that, that interesting statistic from Peter Zion that if you doubled the population of the United States, you know, sort of spreading the new population across the entire country, it would still feel. And you got to 650 million, 616 million. If you got there, the country would still feel pretty empty. Dean Jackson Yeah you know it's so funny, like I did a when just up and I were doing all the big real estate seminars, we were very sort of Western, western United States. you know, weighted, we were doing more. You know over half of the events were in. You know, in California We'd do Phoenix and Palm Springs and LA and San Francisco and Seattle and Denver and you know that kind of all on the Western side and I was making the argument for more East Coast events and got a satellite view of the US by light source. Have you ever seen that map that showed light and you could draw a line, like at the Rocky, like you're right up the middle of the country, and it looked like just the entire right side was lit up, where all the population is Over on the east side very much. And you're saying that makes total sense with Peter Zayam, that you could kind of fold that over even onto the west side, especially in the western United States, there's nothing and that would make no difference. But out of even Florida, if you look at Florida right now, there's 22 million people right now. We're projected for 29 million by 2030. So we're growing up to 15 million people a day right now. But the most of Florida, the entire middle of Florida, is basically the outback. I mean you can drive for miles and miles and not see anything. Dan Sullivan We were way back in the 70s. I went on a trip to Florida and it was on the west side. We were staying in Lakeland Florida. And we had a friend there who was a cattle breeder but he had gotten interested in citrus fruit so he had big grapefruit. But he was in a cooperative so all the work was done by the workers in the cooperative. And the neat thing about grapefruit is that it doesn't spoil on the trees. Oranges- and grapefruits. you can leave them hanging there for as long as you want, they don't spoil. So it gives you some really good timing as far as when to pick and sell. And he was canny. He was kind of like just a canny person. He understood cattle. But we went to a cattle ranch in the middle of Florida and it's like the in the lower 48 states, like the number three cattle ranch in the United. Dean Jackson States. Dan Sullivan It just went on. I mean, we got on the ranch and then it was 30 miles to the homestead, you know we had to drive 30 miles. Once we were on the ranch, but it was right down in the middle, just above the Everglades, and so what we saw is a lot of pigs. You know, there were hundreds and thousands of cattle, but there were a lot of pigs and they just seemed to be wandering around. And so my friend yes, no, no, they were domestic, they were domestic but they yeah they didn't last long enough to go wild, you know. And anyway, he said I said what are all the pigs for? This is a cattle ranch. And he says, well, you know, yeah, you can have beef every night for so long, and he just want to change. And so we go out and just roast up a couple of pigs and eat that. And I said, well, I don't think there's no fences. And I said you don't worry about them. He says, well, how are they going to get off the ranch? Dean Jackson We had to go 30 miles. Dan Sullivan That's a real trip for a short-legged pig, you know. Dean Jackson Right right, right right. Dan Sullivan But anyway, the sheer size, and this is, you know, psychologically, if you go back, the huge difference between the New World and the Old World. If you think about Europe, where every square inch of landscape is surveyed and owned and is populated, I mean I think Holland has the greatest density in any country in the world, even more so than some of the Asian countries. Oh really, wow. And yeah, and then they come to this New World and they just give you 100 acres. You know, like, here we're just going to basically for almost nothing. We're going to give you 100 acres and see what you, if you make an improvement on it over the next five years, then you own the. We'll give you the land for life. You know, and everything like that. And what a draw that must have been for people who had nothing in Europe, especially in. Dean Jackson Europe. Dan Sullivan Yeah, you know, if you can make it across the ocean, we'll give you land and the New World. Yeah, and if all that's taken where you are, then just go another 50 miles to the west. There's a lot and my sense is the frontier took from 1620, jamestown, you know, the first permanent settlement in town, virginia, to 1890,. When they finally surveyed the last bed of whichever western territory, it was In 1890, they, it was all surveyed and they said the frontier is now officially over. You know, we have no more frontier and but that 270 years, really, I put an incredible stamp on probably what would you say? 15 years per generation, even let's say 20 years per generation, so 20, you know it's about 15 generations. And that probably just put a permanent stamp on psyche of the Americans. Yeah, you look at the. Dean Jackson I mean it's amazing now if you take the parallel and you bring it into Cloudlandia, if you count Jamestown, if Jamestown was 1996, you know when everybody started kind of landing in Cloudlandia even though there was no infrastructure, really there was no, you know, no electricity, no, all of that stuff. You look at the highway system and we liken the development of Cloudlandia over, you know, a generation and a half here. Dan Sullivan Well, and that's, and we're never going to run out. Dean Jackson That's the amazing thing. Well, there's an infinitely. Dan Sullivan There's an infinitely expanding frontier in Cloudlandia and you're not trespassing. You're not really trespassing in the same way you do on the mainland, right yeah. Dean Jackson And I think that's why? 0Dan Sullivan you know the chat GPT took over. You know which is the latest new adventure in Cloudlandia is chat GPT that if you look at the numbers, they say 100 million. Right away, 100 million people are using it and I said but not everywhere, not everywhere and my sense is that it's. I was just breaking it down. I said it's mostly Americans or people connected to it. There are people connected to America digitally. It's probably males, they're probably single and they're probably between 25 and 45. And they just want to go places where nobody's gone before. And this is they got a vehicle for doing this, and that's the frontier, that's the frontier mentality. Dean Jackson What's beyond the? Dan Sullivan settled territory. What's beyond the settled territory? Dean Jackson Right, right, right. And what are you going to settle on the territory? I mean, this is the really. This is the thing. It's such amazing times, like a couple of things that that have jumped out over the last little bit here. Here I just saw that Mr B Again now with feastable new company is chocolate. Your confection company is global. Now They've got in there all over the world. They've taken over the United States and things. And I read what happened in the last few weeks is Mr Beast has sort of soured a little bit on on Mr Beast burger as a as a collaboration, in that he can't control the quality of what the product is being delivered. Right. There's a little variation because it's going, you know, it's expanded so quickly and there's so many restaurants making the, you know, making his burgers, making the menu, and that was a collaboration largely driven by someone coming to him with that like virtual dining concepts. But Robert Earl was the driver of that. And so, if we take the VCR formula, robert Earl went to Mr Beast with the capability offering to bring him into the burger business with tapping him in his range Right. Dan Sullivan So it wasn't there. Dean Jackson It wasn't driven by Mr Beast and it wasn't Mr Beast capability to to do the thing. Now feastable. What they did was they started with division and they sought out the capability and they're the. It reminded me of your always be the buyer. That there's a difference where, with your the visionary, you're the buyer of this Right. Your your partnering with a capability that, if you have the vision and the reach, partnering with the capability is that's kind of the power position and the difference between feastables, which is packaged goods that you can 100% controlled quality of, and then partnering with Walmart as reach to multiply the reach that you have a physical you know Mr Beast's Cloudlandia reach with an outlet at the largest footprint retailer reach in the country Makes a huge, huge difference. It's a product-based thing. I look at prime. There's another major story in the VCR world right now, which is prime energy drink, which was driven by Logan Paul and KSI another you know, two big global YouTubers who have partnered to make this energy drink and they're, you know, last year sold 250 million dollars of this energy drink and now they are kind of funny how this the you know it's like VCR squared. They are now as an entity, a capability, partnering with other big reach outlets like they. They're the official hydration of USC, the ultimate fighter competition, the Dana White big MMA thing, and they were just announced as the official hydration of the Barcelona football club, which is a huge international thing, and they did it with Manchester United and those guys are there's no limit to where that's going A package, good product that they're the driver of the. Dan Sullivan Well, and, as you said, the central issue here is quality control. Yes yes, I mean a shitty restaurant. Anyway can produce shitty, mr Beesburgers. Dean Jackson That's exactly what I mean. Yes, that's the thing, right that you're, rather than having something that you can just deliver to somebody in the experience, the unboxing, it's only just distributed to some. Dan Sullivan Well, you know my newest quarterly book is called the Geometry for Staying Cool and Calm, and one of the there's three roles which we've You've very kindly talked about on the podcast. The three roles are everything's made up by someone sometime. Okay, sometimes someone made up something, so things that are thousands of years old, it was still. Someone at some time made this up. Somebody wrote it down, you know. And somebody said, well, what about the Bible? And I said somebody wrote it down. You know it was just a discussion until somebody wrote it down, somebody. Okay, so the big thing is that if you take the three roles, everything's made up. Nobody's in charge, and number three, life's not fair. There's some byproducts that come out of that, and number one of the things that come out of that is it's all guessing and betting. So, the future is all about betting. Yeah, the future is all guessing and betting, you know. And so when you hear somebody this is very definitely technology is going in this direction what you have is someone telling you that they're guessing on something and they want you to bet on it. And so this whole notion that the future is predetermined is silly, because even with Mr Beast, who knows the power of YouTube I mean, he's proven that he knows the power, just with his community is hundreds, you know more than 100 million, but he's guessing what he can do with that community and he's betting. So Mr Beast, mr Beastburger was a bet, okay, and took up time, took up energy, took up skills, took up probably some money, and with him it's not so much money, it's just how does he want to spend his time, you know that's really, I think, his biggest thing is not wasting time, you know but he just tested on something. And now one thing he's learned we have to control the product. That's. That's a useful learning. I'm sure he didn't lose any money on Mr Beastburger he's still going strong still going strong. Dean Jackson But he's just losing. Like it was an interesting thing, he tweeted that you know that he can't. You know virtual diving solutions won't let him out of the, they won't let him out of the contract or he can't stop. Even he said you know I can't, my partners won't let me stop, even though it's bad for my brand, you know which is really interesting Well he's at 20, you know, at 26,. Dan Sullivan I'm not sure his exact age, but 24, 26. He's learned a powerful lesson that applies for the rest of his life. You got to be the owner. Dean Jackson Yes, always be the buyer. Dan Sullivan Yes, yeah, yeah, and you know he just learned it. I mean, I didn't learn that until I was in my 50s. I'm a committed learner, but sometimes I'm a slow learner. I've got a tool variation for you, OK. Ok, and this was prompted by your raising the topic of Dean Landia. So I've always kind of liked the tool we have called the FAST filter rather than the big impact filter. Yeah, and the FAST filter. The FAST filter, you just write down here's the project, here's the best result, here's the worst result and here are five success criteria. And for all practical purposes. It does 90% of what the impact filter does, but in about half the time about half the time. So you and I are people of a quickness nature that we've got 15 minutes or we lose interest. So I go for a tool that only takes 15 minutes. But here's the thing, and this is a question for you. But I'll just tell you what I did Of all the profiles that we've done the Colby profile, we've done in coach, we've done the Colby profile, we've done Myers-Briggs, we've done Desk. You know D-S-I-D-I-Z, we've print and we've just done the working genius. And everybody in FreeZone is going to get that in the next quarter. We're just sending it out in September, everybody and just go do that profile and they can do that with their teams, and you know the whole thing. But of all of them and I didn't mention it yet, but the one that really struck home for me was the Strength Finder, which came out of the Gallup organization. So my five strengths are number one ideation. You know that if I'm going to take action on something, it'll be on an idea. Number two maximizer. I'm interested in ideas that don't take average things and make them better. I'm only interested in things that take already extraordinary people and make them even more productive. So, maximizer. Number three, self-assurance is that personally, I don't think I can ever get into trouble with a new idea. You know that I always have confidence that you know it'll either work or I'll get some learning out of it. But there's no loss with coming up with a new idea. And number four is context. Is that I'm passionate about how this connects to everything. So if I create something, I immediately want to know how does this connect to everything else I've done? And number five is activator, that there's no idea we're spending any time if it does not lead to action. Dean Jackson So those are my thoughts. Dan Sullivan And you know, experience and the observation of my team would pretty well prove it out that there isn't any one, any other strength on the list of 34, these are the top five out of 34. That would replace one of the ones that are in the top five. Okay, and that's good enough for me. That's good enough for me. I said I don't think so either, and so what I did is that on the stra, on the fast filter, you have five success criteria, so I just put in the five, you know ideation, multiple maximizer, self assurance, context and activator. And then I think of a particular project and I said, okay, so what's the central idea here? What's the central idea here? Ideation, okay, and really make a big jump with it. Maximizer number three that this will, if you pull this off as the real jump in your self assurance, okay, number this actually connects with about five other things that I'm doing, or 10 other things that I'm doing. That's context and number five, activator, and I can immediately see that I can take this action within the next day or two. And then I go back and I write worse result of doing this, best result. So I do it backwards, I do the five success criteria first and then I do worse result and said ah, this is just one of your another hair brain scheme that you get all excited about and you distract a lot of other people. I tell the whole story how this is just puts me in the ditch like other. And then I go to the best result and I said this is a breakout moment in my entire 17 to 29 year life and everything and away we go. And so I just wondered did you do the strength finder, did you? Dean Jackson I did years ago and it's for ideation, ideation was at the top of my. Dan Sullivan Yeah, we're both ideation which probably people could guess yes. And that's what it's interesting, but it'd be interesting because you've got the fast filter on your website. You just yeah, but all you do is that you the first word in the five success criteria are the five strength finders, you just put the first word and then you say and you know, and you can see what that, their explanation of each of those are. But you kind of know anyway. But I'm noticing that it does amazing things with projects. First of all, it gives you an incredible amount of immediate motivation to do the project because it checks off all the boxes where you get energy. Anyway, I just thought it would. Dean Jackson So everybody would put in the fast filter, they would feed their five. Their five strength finders. Dan Sullivan With their five strength finders. So it custom designs it immediately that you're only doing this project for your purposes. Dean Jackson Yes, where could I find my strength finder again, oh. Dan Sullivan Julia Waller. I'm at the cottage and she's in the next cottage. I'll just, I'll see her tonight and I'll just said could you just look up Dean Dean Jackson's strength finders? Okay, great, and if she can't, she'll just give you their contact information. I mean, you do it over again. It's $35, $40, something like that. Dean Jackson So you know you you gotta do it, but it's a very, I think you know, do four or five of them. Dan Sullivan Just take that random, just take five projects and run it through. And you see that it makes you into the total buyer of everything that you do. I don't go into this unless it checks off my five strength finder boxes. I'm not devoting an ounce of energy unless it checks off my boxes, and I think that's as good a definition of what being a buyer for you means as it does you know, anyway, so just thought you'd be interested in that. Dean Jackson Yeah, I'm very fascinated by that because that I've gone through and I've had a buddy on my team through the working genius and James probably put together a team profile that shows a map of where everybody is on your team. So when you're building, you're kind of the next thing. When you're going forward with a project, I know that we need all of the widgets, you know we need everybody, somebody's genius in every aspect of it to get it all the way through, all the way from wonder to synastomy, somebody to follow through with it, and so that's kind of a. I like all these combinations. Dan Sullivan I love what you're looking for, what I'm looking for is just the one tool that works everywhere. You know, I mean I created lots of you know and coach. We've created lots of tools, but I'm just always looking for the one tool that's a really fast tool. That's just the starting point for everything. You know, just yeah, and you know it's like Jack Pell. I'm talking to Billy Crystal and you know Billy Crystal and he said I'm going to give you, billy, I'm going to give you the secret of life. And he holds up his finger, one finger, and Billy Crystal says your finger is the secret to life. And he says yeah, but we're all looking. I mean, especially if you're AD and you're a 10, quick start and ideation is your number one strike fighter, you're subject to a lot of distractions, yeah. Dean Jackson Like hourly, like hourly. Dan Sullivan Yeah, yeah, and sometimes in the middle of the night and so funny that that was where. Dean Jackson Oh, by the way, michael. Dan Sullivan Bruce. I'm meeting weekly with Michael Bruce and he just wanted to pass on his best wishes to you. Oh good, we had some conversations where he's really good at what he's really good. I tell you he's really really good at what he does. Yeah, For the listeners, this is a great sleep psychologist named Michael Bruce. He lives in Hermosa Beach, California, and yeah. And I'm going through a 12 week program with him where I have to diary my sleep every night in the morning. I do that and the whole thing is to get me two things. One is to establish a regular get up time for me which is five o'clock. So this is really good, because I'm in my just finishing my fourth week now and I've gotten up at five o'clock every morning for 28 days and then he won't let you go to bed earlier. I'm at 10 30 now, so I get six and a half hours sleep. But the ultimate goal here is one is that I always have a wake up time that's predictable, so that my system kicks in and creates the sleep drive during the day. I don't have to use meds at night. And I'm down to half of my meds after four weeks. So in just four weeks. I'm off half and then during the day I don't have to use Adderall to propel me for the whole day. So I have an early morning slow release. I have a slow release that I take right away. He's leaving that alone. And at night I have a lunesta that I take just to start the night, and he's leaving that alone. He's gotten rid of the halfway, the two thirds through the night sonata, so that's gone. And my daytime Adderall, like let's say, afternoon, that's gone. So I pre-dropped two of them in four weeks, so it's really good. Dean Jackson Did you get a chance to experiment with telling yourself you could be being happy that you get to have the best two hours of sleep? Two hours here when you wake up. I've tried that. Dan Sullivan I've tried that, you know, but that's a trick that we had. There's this mad, crazy sort of like survival thing I forget what it's called, but where you go four weeks and you're a team of four One of them has to be a woman and you have to climb mountains, you have to swim across you know straights of water, you have to go through jungle and everything else, and you only have 24, 96 hours to pull it off and they have tricks, and one of the tricks is they go on two hours of sleep per night, but it's the last two hours before sunrise and if you wake up at sunrise, your body thinks that you, for four days, your body can pull you, or your mind can pull your body into believing you got full night's sleep four nights in a row, and then it falls apart on the fifth day. Really, you go one. Yeah, yeah, so it's an interesting. Dean Jackson And that you're, that, you know, limiting to six and a half hours, or whatever that worked out to be, yeah, yeah. Dan Sullivan But this is not forever, this is just to get me through this period and I think I think I'm probably at my limit right now. I don't think he's going to push it any further, and but he might. And first it was seven hours, then it was so it was 10 o'clock and then it was 1015 and now it's 1030. So we'll see I've had lots of energy and I've gotten lots of things done. Dean Jackson But what I've done is wherever, why. I'm curious about why five am. Is that? No, you choose that. Dan Sullivan You choose that. No, you choose that, you choose that, but then it's that's what it is. So he said you get up anywhere from four to five, 30. But if you had to do it every morning, which would you do? And he's the upside. Both agreed we do it at five o'clock and he says good, so five is fixed. So regardless of when you go to bed although I'm not going to let you go to bed earlier than 10 o'clock, the one time we did, we went to see Jeff Maddox, Premier play a Premier week personality in Chicago, which is a dynamite play and musical, and he, we got home at two o'clock in the morning. It was downtown and we went out afterwards and I said Baps, there's no way we're getting up at five o'clock, so we just got up at nine o'clock because we had to get to the airport to play home. Dean Jackson I said, you know, every once in a while. Dan Sullivan I'm just going to. I mean, yeah, rows aren't any good if you can't make exceptions. Right, right, right. Dean Jackson Yeah, my, I would love, like I think, that my natural if I just look at my natural cycle, it would probably be it would eight hour period, it would probably be 11 to 7 would be my natural preferred. I think that's like the person, yep yep, I think everybody's rhythm for me. Dan Sullivan It doesn't matter just his whole point is it doesn't matter what the hours are, just so that you stick with it, because your body adjusts and then adjusts its system. But if you're all over, the map with it your body, then you get all sorts of sleep disorders and right, right, right yeah. But I'm from childhood I've been an early riser, you know farm boy, you were at the break of dawn and you know I was in sports going through schools. You were too, but you got up early. You had morning practices and and it was in the army, army you get up at, you know you get a six, six o'clock, you know so you know I was just used to it and and I find that most creative before noon. You know I get most my creative creativity. I can talk endlessly after three o'clock, but don't ask me to create anything in the afternoon. Dean Jackson That's funny. I have a second, like if I were to say I have a second period of period, you know, like three or four in the afternoon till six or seven. That's like a really good. If I just look at my, you know, biorethm or whatever it's first thing in the morning, you know, till noon, and then another, I think the European, you know the fiesta model is like the perfect thing, I think. You know. Get, get up, do what you do creative work. Dan Sullivan Well, you've got forward a heat. You got forward a heat to blame on it, even though you're in air conditioning. But you know, you know I think it's a light thing too how much light you get. You get way more light than we do in Toronto during the year. Dean Jackson You know it's fun the way that you and I talk about these things. You know different approaches to it, but part of the thing, I guess, is picking the game that you like in the way that you like to play the game and establishing your life around it, you know, just fitting it into what you're natural and not everybody's the same, like like you. For you, I don't like the idea of waking up at five o'clock. Even you know Robin Sharma. Do you know Robin Sharma wrote the five AM club, so I had lunch at the table I sure don't want to. Dan Sullivan I'll get up at five, but I'm not going to be a member of the club at five o'clock. Dean Jackson Exactly the five AM club. Dan Sullivan Are you kidding? Dean Jackson I said you know it's so funny that everybody tries to in personal development. It feels like everybody tries to pigeonhole you into their method of you got to get up at five AM and if your dreams aren't big enough to get you bouncing out of bed in the morning, you know. Dan Sullivan The last time I saw Robin was at the Soho hotel in London, and he just happened to be in the restaurant when I was there, so we pulled up a table. You know, we got a table together and I was talking. He was saying, you know, he was sort of at a decision point in his. You know what he was doing and you know that every he had stages and he was at the end of one of his stages and he was and I said, robin, maybe it's time for the monk to buy a new Ferrari. Dean Jackson That's right, I love it. So for everybody listening Robin Sharma, very famously, first thing, wrote a book called the Monk. We sold his Ferrari and that's great, that's my favorite. Ferrari. Dan Sullivan I think that's fantastic Dan His language, so he wouldn't, it's his language so he would know what that means. Dean Jackson you know Of course, and it was just so perfectly appropriate, like once you, you know it's so funny that the you know I think about that often and for the last 25 years, or 23 years, my go-to I know I'm being successful when I've been. You know, I wake up every day and ask what would I like to do today? And maybe it's time that I wake up and ask myself what would I like to do tomorrow instead of doing and do the thing that I need to wake up. Dan Sullivan I wake up every day and I know exactly what I'm doing for the day and that's another variation, not that you'd want to make this the main course, but just for sort of space. Is you wake up in the morning and say what am I glad I didn't do yesterday? Ah right, exactly. Dean Jackson Phew, that was close. Dan Sullivan I almost did that. I almost did that and I didn't do it. Dean Jackson That is funny, I get point for that. Dan Sullivan They asked Steve Jobs very close, you know like you're to be very died. They asked him what were the 10 best decisions he had made during his Apple career and he says the 10 times I said no to something that would have really gotten us bogged down if we had pursued Wow, yeah. So I think that's as useful as what did you achieve? It's what did you not? It's not what a lot of people grade themselves on what they said yes to, but they there's just as much value in remembering what you said no to. And we have the tool, the experience transformer and coach. You know where you take something that you haven't resolved in your mind. And I had everybody just pick something during their teenage years. Because there's a lot of stuff that goes on in teenage years. You know that's not understandable at the time and maybe you didn't resolve it at all afterwards. So I said just pick something that's negative from your teenage years that anytime you're reminded of it it kind of rankles. You still get an emotional, negative, emotional hit from it. And so they picked it. You know a number of people. It was a relationship, okay, you know, and this one guy said he says boy, and what we do is you write down what worked about that. And they this is the hardest time of it because their memory of it is nothing worked about it. But then you go through and he said and then he you know. And I say now, so you know. And then you say what didn't work about it. So after you've done what worked about it, it's easier to emotionally face the things that didn't work about it. It's very hard to what's not working head on. You have to you have to get your confidence level up before you can actually look at the things that didn't work. And then you say, if, in a similar situation going forward, what would I do differently, based on my thinking so far. So yeah, and this one guy said well, I had this girlfriend and she was a knockout. Then I just thought she was going to be the woman of my life and everything else. And and and so, yeah, we got to a nice is so what worked about that? And he says well, I didn't marry her. I said you missed a bullet, didn't you? You missed because he had met her about 15, 20 years later and she wasn't the woman of his dreams. Dean Jackson When he met her? Yeah, and I'm sure the women. Dan Sullivan The women would have the same story to tell about men. Thank God I didn't marry him, so anyway. But but I'm a great believer in reworking my past. My past is my property, so I can do anything that I want with it. Your past is an interpretation of events. It's yeah, I mean, our entire past is our interpretation of what certain events you're not changing the events you're simply changing your interpretation of the events. And I spent a lot of time in my past. You know I go back and I said what did I learn from that? Gee, that's really useful, but by intent is always, I'm going to learn something from the past, that's applicable to the future. I think that's what I think, that's what I think, that's what humanity does Is that right Because I wondered if I thought maybe that was uniquely. Dean Jackson I thought maybe I spent a lot of time in the past and I do it with an analytical mind, like I think I mentioned to you, like looking back and kind of really breaking it down into the four to five year pretty serious inflection changes and looking back for three lines and recognize that when you were talking about guessing and betting, that I think that the you know it was really interesting is looking back at the things that I guessed right and bet and the. I think the reason that we take such comfort in looking back or that enjoy the fantasy of being able to go back, is that because we know the, we know the outcome now. Looking back 25 years. It would have been, it would be really amazing to go back 25 years now that we know where it's all heading. You know, we know that, having seen 2023, it would be very interesting to go back to 1997 and know that the bets that you're making, you know, are going to pay off. But the real skill is to be able to turn that thinking and project forward for the next 25 years and make those bets, you know. But it's also very interesting that there's probably, you know, when I looked at, when I look at, 25 years is an amazing framework for looking backwards, but there's not, there's not a lot of. There's not a lot of things that you could kind of place a bet on with certainty that we're going to pay out and a lot of the things wouldn't have even come into existence, Like I think you know, if you look back at 1995, like we said, 28 years ago, the internet was just kind of getting started. So I guess that would be one thing that you could kind of place a bet on, but all of the things that the biggest winners among the internet. Like you know, apple was going bankrupt in 1995. They were losing almost a billion dollars a year because of mismanagement and scattered efforts, and Steve Jobs didn't come back till 1997 and simplified things, and so you wouldn't have bet on Apple in 1995 as being and then they just crossed. Dan Sullivan No, they just crossed three trillion dollars, first three trillion dollars, so there's no you wouldn't have guessed that in 1995. Dean Jackson There were no indications that they were going to be that. But you look at that period of innovation, the 10 years from 1997 to 2007 were tremendous innovation and game changing things, all on the back of internet. And I think that if you look at, what Steve Jobs was able to see was going just like he went all in on personal computers in a phase when it ball mainframe and business. He in the 70s yeah, that 25 years or 20 years or whatever went all in on personal computing and then when he saw the internet, that was the world that he was like how can we bring the world to the devices. Dan Sullivan Yeah, I mean, and you know, the Walkman was the breakout product of that. Well, the Apple, that wasn't Apple, but. Dean Jackson The iPod. Dan Sullivan The iPod, yeah, the iPod. I mean he just and that was strictly internet. You know that was totally making use of the internet. Dean Jackson I mean and the. Dan Sullivan Mac was the Mac. I mean, he always had a great operating system before he was fired. Dean Jackson The iMac was the first thing that you know, really made the computer. That was really the thing that was acknowledging it's all going to the internet. So the iMac was first, then that brought in. Dan Sullivan Yeah, and the other thing that he brought back much more so than he had in the first place, was his was the sense that your product should be beautiful. Dean Jackson And nobody in technology. Dan Sullivan nobody in technology did before or since has ever placed the emphasis on beautiful and ease of use and ease of use. And you know and you know, I mean, and certainly Microsoft, never twig to that, even when they saw what they were up against. They never, they never saw. Why would you make things beautiful? You know why they know right it just adds to the cost of development and everything else. Why would you do that? But if you don't have that sense? But he zeroed in on the artistic market where beauty is a big deal. Style, beauty, you know, elegance, you know all those things. That's really not part of the technological brain. You know most part and free, because they're mostly in. Yeah yeah. And you know they, he got rid of computer. You know it was just Apple. And then they came up with their long range purpose, which was we make beautiful technology that people love using. I said, oh God, that's a forever. That's a forever purpose. When you're not bound in by any particular technology, you're not bound in by any particular period of time, You're not bound in by any particular target market is we make a beautiful technology that people love using. I said, God, you can live with that forever. Dean Jackson I mean, if you'd had that 4,000 years. Dan Sullivan If you had that 4,000 years ago, it'd be working. It'd be working today. Dean Jackson That's so great. I love that. That's a great thing, you know. Dan Sullivan Yeah, so what have we covered today? Dean Jackson What territory have we covered? What have we mapped out in? Dan Sullivan claimed as our own. Well, I think that we've mapped out. Dean Jackson Like I'm looking at these, you know I was fascinated by the whole. You know by the all these VCR collaborations you know, like looking at how Mr Beast, but just looking at the distinction between Feastables and Mr Beast Burger and the precariousness of kind of you know being the capability that then brings the idea to the reach. That's kind of precarious, you know. But I was looking. I was just thinking about like some of the clients that I'm working with now that are you know, and people that I've met recently that have these amazing capability things. You know, like I was. When I heard about Feastable, I was thinking about our friend and FreeZone member, shahid in India, who makes all the biscuits and confection. Dan Sullivan No same. Dean Jackson Capability Pakistan. Yeah, pakistan yeah yeah, he would know the difference. Of course he would. Yeah, yeah, and I should have known the difference. I've spoken with him, had joined with him, but there's a guy who's like that, the capability that he has, you know, just ready for he's Well it's really interesting. Dan Sullivan He's just started a new collaboration in Italy. Okay, using his know-how. You know they brought from that market and now he's looking for the United States. And I said you don't want to go to a, after you've done Italy, you don't want to do another European country. And he says no it's not the US. And I said great you know, yeah, that's great, right, right an impact builder and what you're looking for and and everything. Well, I think the big thing is the custom designing of the future. You know, and that's my use of the fast filter tool. I'm sort of cussed. I said, you know, I'm picky about going forward. I'm picky about, yeah, and I said, does this check the ideation box? Does this check the you know the, you know maximizer and the others? Does this check? Does it check all the boxes? And I'm not buying at all, you know, I'm just not getting involved if it doesn't check all the boxes. Right, you know, but what it does, it makes something that's sort of reactive and passive, makes it into active and kind of aggressive. Because, then you can go into any situation and say you know I'm, I know exactly what I'm looking for, and if it's not there, I'll know about it. I'll know it almost instantly. Dean Jackson Yeah, and that's an interesting thing. I look at the maximizer, one of the realizations that I'm having about me and about my you know ideation and my in the widget world, my discernment and invention that those are best suited to tap into an existing engine. Like I look at the biggest impacts that I've had and been able to join something you know be an accelerant, a rocket booster to something that is always. Yeah, already exists, yeah, yeah, without me having to be an operator, because that's where my strengths fall down, you know. Dan Sullivan Yeah Well, I've always called you the marketing Buddha and as far as I know Buddha didn't keep office hours. That's right. That's right. Dean Jackson Yeah. Dan Sullivan Yeah, you just enlightened the future. That's all you do. You enlighten the future, yeah, yeah, that's what that marketing strategist for Bud Light was doing. She was enlightening the future. She was going to elevate the brand and enlighten the future of their oh boy of their future. I said well, you certainly got a result. Dean Jackson Amen Holy cow. Dan Sullivan I mean this is yeah and anyway. And a lot of people are saying that's a debt grant, it's not retrievable, from where they put it with one camp. Pretty amazing, yeah. Yeah, it is because I was in the local. We have a thing called Jug City here which kind of tells you that it certainly defines the customers here Jug. City, you know Anyway and I was in there and I was in line. I came in and I just checked because people had their purchases in their hands. I went in and then I came out again and I saw 10 different kinds of beers being bought, but not Bud Light. And this is Canada. This isn't even the United. States and everything like that. But, boy, you know you don't want to get caught in a crossfire favoring one side, you know. Dean Jackson I know that. Dan Sullivan And they just, she just took it into the zone. And now the former CEO of Bud Light is saying the president CEO of Bud Light should just resign. He should just resign because he's been an abysmal failure and he was hired to take care of situations like this. He was hired not to get into situations like this. And now right but at least be able to extract him in Really dense. But I bet this is being studied in all the business schools. Dean Jackson Oh, man, talk about, yeah, one of the amazing things, just like this amazing story. You know, yeah, such an, I can't even I think I'm. I wonder what other examples of that. You know, can't even think of anything that. Dan Sullivan No, I can't think of a single. I mean Target had a little whiff of that, but they got out of it pretty soon because they were, and you know this is the third rail of the subway. You don't touch the subject, you know. Dean Jackson I guess it's a little bit back to when the Ford Pintos were exploding again. Yeah. Dan Sullivan Yeah, nobody would touch up Ford Pinto or. Dean Jackson That would ruin the driving brand right. Dan Sullivan You know I mean we live in a million times more viral communications world now than we did back then. And you know I mean I go whoa. And now Dylan Mulvaney, the actress in the situation, is bashing Bud Light for nuts sticking up for her, you know and everything. Wow, wow, wow she's saying we're done with you. We're done with you. So the very target audience they were going out Unbelievable. Yeah, I mean that's yeah, so that qualifies as a bad guess and a bad bet. Well, there you go, Okay. Dean Jackson Dan. Dan Sullivan Yeah, but you know, you know you should kind of do it in a 10-person focus group before you do it live on the Internet. Dean Jackson Oh my goodness, nobody might have been able to say, hey, wait a minute. What about this? Dan Sullivan Yeah, why don't we get some of these backward, out-of-touch people who happen to be the number one consumer of our product, in a room and show them our new idea? Dean Jackson Unbelievable yeah. Dan Sullivan But anyway it makes it for an interesting, entertaining world. Yeah. Dean Jackson Well, you have an amazing Are you having another week at the cottage? Dan Sullivan Yeah, and I'll be available. Next Sunday I'll be in Chicago next. Sunday Okay. So yeah, we're going in on Saturday because Joe and Eunice are going to personality with us, so we'll see you again on Saturday night, oh nice Anyway that's good, yeah, so 11 o'clock, your time. Dean Jackson Yes, perfect, I'll be there. All right, okay, okay, bye, bye, guys.

Aside from having a terrific title, the seventh studio album by REO Speedwagon would be the one which would bring them mainstream success.  You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish was the first album to be co-produced by guitarist Gary Richrath and lead singer Kevin Cronin, and was the first to break into the top 40 on the Billboard 200 album charts in the US, peaking at number 29.  It also was the first on which Bruce Hall was a part of the group, replacing Gregg Philbin on bass.  The rest of the group was Nel Doughty on keyboards and Alan Gratzer on drums.   Doughty and Gratzer were college students when the band was founded, and Doughty was inspired to create the name of the group when he saw it written on the board of his “History of Transportation” class.This album trends toward melodic rock and power ballads, which perhaps explains the broader appeal they received.  Richrath's guitar hooks blended well with Cronin's strong vocals, and the result was a polished sound that worked well for both rock anthems and more pensive ballads.  The energy of the studio album also seemed to finally catch the essence and energy of their live performances.The band would go on to become one of the stars of the arena rock world in the 80's, and this album is where that really started for them.Rob brings us this group at the start of their ascent to stardom. Roll with the ChangesThis infectious rock anthem leads off the album, and is a timeless staple of the band's concerts.  Kevin Cronin was inspired to write this song when he returned to the band in 1976 and relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles.  Changes in his life caused the song to hit him instantly.  He started writing the lyrics on a paper bag in his Ford Pinto while driving to L.A.Runnin' BlindThis deeper cut is the third track on the album.  It has a solid guitar riff and we believe a “Cheap Trick” sound.  The lyrics discuss a lover who is always on the road playing the guitar and leaving someone behind.  “Change is comin' no more runnin'”Time for Me to FlyAnother song written by Kevin Cronin, this ballad was inspired by Cronin's breakup with his high school girlfriend.  Unlike “Roll with the Changes,” this song took Cronin 10 years to write, and had been rejected for previous albums.  While it would peak at number 56 on the Billboard Hot 100, it would become one of their best known songs and a timeless ballad.Say You Love Me or Say GoodnightAnother deeper cut that rocks, this one closes out the album.  The lyrics are a call to either make up or split up.  It is a great jam to end the concert or album.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the motion picture The Magic of LassieJimmy Stewart makes his last appearance in this installment of the film franchise starring the famous collie. STAFF PICKS:Party by Boston Bruce kicks off the staff picks with the sixth track from Boston's second studio album, “Don't Look Back”  This straight-up party song was co-written by Brad Delp and Tom Scholz, one of only two songs on the album not solely written by Scholz.  While it wasn't released as a single, it received significant airplay on rock stations and appears on Boston's Greatest Hits album.Raise a Little Hell by TrooperWayne keeps the energy up with a rocker off Canadian band Trooper's fourth studio album.  Randy Bachman produced this album entitled “Thick as Thieves.”  It appears in the first season of the NETFLIX show “Stranger Things.”  While not having a big hit in the US (this one went to number 59) Trooper was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2023.Hot Blooded by Foreigner Lynch brings us a monster hit written by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones.  While most people with a fever of 103 would need some rest, the song describes the cure as an after-show rendezvous with the girl he's been checking out.  The song did more than dance up the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 3.Runaway by Jefferson StarshipRob takes the tempo down to close out the staff picks with the second single from the album “Earth.”  This song made it to number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Marty Balin takes vocal duties on this song, alternating between a smooth sound in the verses and a grittier, funky sound in the bridge. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:The Unidentified Flying Tuna Trot by REO Speedwagon This instrumental off “You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish” gives us the opportunity to double dip on the episode's featured album by REO Speedwagon.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. reconnects with one of his fiercest rivals from his NASCAR Xfinity Series days, former crew chief Robbie Reiser. During Dale's 1998 and ‘99 Xfinity Championship season runs, his main competition was fellow up-and-comer Matt Kenseth, for whom Reiser was calling the shots. Dale and co-host Mike Davis chat with Robbie about his family's history in racing the short tracks of Wisconsin, where his father John was a champion dirt late model driver. Robbie recounts a hilarious story of how he came to be behind the wheel, thanks in part to wrecking his sister's Ford Pinto in a street race with a friend. After quickly rising through the local ranks in Southern Wisconsin, Robbie and his father John took the plunge into the world of NASCAR, moving their operation to Denver, North Carolina. After nearly losing everything due to a lack of funding, a series of events led to Robbie putting his former rival from home, Matt Kenseth, behind the wheel. They immediately found harmony and became contenders in the Xfinity Series, where they impressed the likes of Mark Martin and Jack Roush. Before long, the Reiser operation was absorbed by Roush Racing, and they took on the superstars of NASCAR Cup, where they would win a championship in 2003.

In this throwback episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck continue to discuss the total cost of risk. They talk about how companies utilize the total cost of risk and how they can relay it to their clients and prospects. Episode Highlights: David shares his experience when he went to the National Alliance and received his CRM designation. (7:13) What's the certification process look like? (7:33) David shares that one of the benefits of using the total cost of risk is that it helps people make informed risk management decisions. (7:58) David mentions that making informed risk management decisions doesn't always mean that they are going to be good. (9:19) David shares a story about the Ford Pinto, where it became a massive hazard because of its design. (9:30) David mentions that if you know your total cost of risk, you can use it to benchmark your process and have something unquantifiable. (11:42) David shares that if you know your total cost of risk, you can help in promoting safety and risk management initiatives. (11:54) David mentions the book entitled Whale Done!, by Ken Blanchard. (15:43) Kyle thinks that people would respond to rewarding behavior, better than the negative reinforcement of it. (17:29) David mentions that everybody that is in manufacturing or some kind of a measurable service occupation has a metric for quality. (19:04) David shares that when you talk to operationally inclined people, they're going to be able to point out not only how they measure quality, but also how they measure productivity. (19:39) Kyle mentions that the common answer to measuring safety is the number of injuries or frequency of injuries or claims. (20:11) David mentions that when he calculates the total cost of risk, he shows them how many days they have to operate in an assumed sales volume, and an assumed profit margin to cover that total cost of risk. (21:09) Tweetable Quotes: “I'm a big fan of behavioral-based safety incentive plans. I want people to know that we're going to reward them for doing the right things, and it's not expensive, it's far less expensive to put an incentive program in place when you reward the behaviors you want to see so that people replicate them.” - David Carothers “You give people attention, and you reward them for the behaviors that you want to see so they will replicate those. But don't make a big deal about when they're not giving you the right behavior and they're doing the wrong thing, you just simply positively redirect them the way that you want them to go. Because subconsciously, your mind has to replicate those behaviors that get your attention.” - David Carothers “I think what that shows too is it's not the overly technical stuff. We're not getting deep in the weeds of insurance stuff. I mean, nothing really, that we've talked about has been even insurance-related other than we talked about the premiums, briefly because it's a portion of the total cost of risk.” - Kyle Houck “You can tweak it and make it fit whoever you're sitting there in front of. But I think this should help people with that conversation in breaking down what components are actually a part of the total cost of risk and how they're going to impact that individual prospect.” - Kyle Houck Resources Mentioned: David Carothers LinkedIn Kyle Houck LinkedIn Florida Risk Partners The Extra 2 Minutes
