Why curiosity is the best way to start a conversation.No matter how wide political, cultural, and generational divides seem to grow, Fareed Zakaria is convinced: communication has the power to connect.Zakaria is the host of CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, a Washington Post columnist, and author of Age of Revolutions, a book about the seismic societal shifts that define modern history. In his decades of translating complex geopolitical issues for broad audiences, he's found the key to navigating change and conflict. “The most important thing is being genuinely curious,” he says, “genuinely believing that everybody has a story to tell. Everybody has something to teach you. Everybody has a lesson you can learn.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Zakaria and host Matt Abrahams explore how curiosity opens the door to conversation. Whether we're communicating across ideological divides or bridging gaps between our past, present, and future, Zakaria shows why maintaining connection starts with a willingness to learn.Episode Reference Links:Fareed ZakariaFareed's Book: Age of Revolutions Ep.161 Do Your Homework: Know What to Say by Knowing Who You're Talking To Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:27) - The “Age of Revolutions” (04:33) - Do Facts Still Matter?

Rogers for America with Lt. Steve Rogers – During the Reagan administration, President Ronald Reagan, known as the "Great Communicator," frequently described America as a "Shining City on a Hill" and promoted his agenda with the optimistic slogan "Morning in America." His rhetoric consistently highlighted optimism and forward-looking perspectives, avoiding negative messaging and emphasizing...

What if prayer wasn't just talking to God — but actually hearing Him?
THE LEGACY OF THE GREAT COMMUNICATOR Colleague Max Boot. Boot reflects on Reagan's legacy, noting his "genial and aloof" personality rooted in childhood trauma. He discusses the superficial nature of Reagan's diaries, his economic record aided by Paul Volcker, and his unassuming nature, exemplified by a story about an uncomfortable chair he refused to complain about. NUMBER 8 1927
2/8. Pigeons: The Great Communicators and Wartime Heroes — Steven Moss — Moss discusses the humble pigeon as a paradoxical feral bird species possessing extraordinary homing capabilities that made it invaluable as a communications mechanism. Although the famous narrative of Nathan Rothschild using pigeons following the Battle of Waterloo is apocryphal, pigeons were genuinely crucial wartime messengers. Moss emphasizes that pigeons were essential during the D-Day invasion due to radio silence protocols, and the celebrated pigeon Cher Ami saved imperiled soldiers during World War I. Moss notes that British forces even systematically killed Peregrine Falcons to protect pigeon communications, inadvertently contributing to the species' subsequent endangerment and near-extinction. 1869
The "Genial and Aloof" Communicator: Reagan's Psychological Defense and Exquisite Political Timing. Max Boot discusses the late Reagan administration, his personality, and his legacy. Reagan was famously defined as "genial and aloof," and Boot argues that Reagan was "very hard to know," even by his wife Nancy and his closest aides, who felt part of him was "walled off." This aloofness originated in his childhood, where constant moving and hiding his father's alcoholism led him to erect a "mental wall." Reagan was comfortable with the title of "Great Communicator," recognizing the political power of his background by stating, "Some people say they can't understand how an actor can be president. I don't understand how anybody but an actor could be president." His most famous sayings include "Honey, I forgot to duck," "ash heap of history," and "There you go again." Regarding his legacy, Boot notes that the economic recovery was largely "salesmanship," with growth rates during the Reagan presidency similar to the Nixon administration, though Reagan's political timing was "exquisite." Boot credits Reagan as a "very lucky politician" who also "made his own luck," with much of the economic recovery due to Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. An anecdote illustrating Reagan's modesty notes that when he first sat behind the Resolute desk, he was too tall to fit his knees underneath but did not complain, reflecting his unassuming and undemanding nature.
2. The Pigeon: The Great Communicator and War Hero AUTHOR: Stephen Moss BOOK TITLE: 10 Birds That Changed the World This excerpt focuses on the Pigeon, describing it as the "great communicator" due to its extraordinary ability to always go home, a skill enhanced through breeding. Pigeons proved crucial in wartime for fast, secure communication; during D-Day, they were released to confirm successful landings while maintaining radio silence. A WWI pigeon, Cher Ami, saved a New York battalion from friendly fire. The segment also notes that peregrine falcons, which prey on pigeons, were targeted by British soldiers during WWII, contributing to their later endangerment.

QUOTES “You're gonna have to do things that sometimes don't feel good to get what you really want.” “The reason why it's so hard for us to figure out what it is that we really want is because as creatures we're designed to figure out how to stay safe.” “Usually we think our job is our ultimate 30,000 foot focus. It's not. Life is too short to make it all about our job.” “You're gonna have to do things that sometimes don't feel good to get what you really want.” "The idea is that it's not about trying to “fix it.” It's about how do I get beyond it? How do I make sure that it doesn't stop me in living the life that I wanna live?" "The more you don't want this thing to show up, it will show up. And the more you try to push it down, the stronger it pushes back." "If you focus on your purpose, the thing that you're hoping won't happen, will happen less - than if you get really hyperfocused on stopping thing." "People are craving the return to authenticity. The simplicity, the self, the inner... as technology continues to grow, the need for people to reconnect with their inner true self is gonna continue to grow." "We are social creatures. People act as mirrors... you wanna be around people that give you a certain type of wisdom, perspective, experience."

Ronald Reagan was the most consequential U.S. president of the second half of the twentieth century. Conservatives once lionized him before the rise of Donald Trump. Yet how Reagan is remembered does not entirely square with his actual record. Although an anti-government, anti-Communist ideologue, Reagan governed like a pragmatist. Moreover, the fortieth president was a terrible manager with a flimsy grasp of policy. His administration was rife with scandal. When he left office, the federal deficit had nearly tripled. Despite it all, Reagan was an effective national leader who inspired Americans to feel proud of their country again. In this episode, historian and biographer Max Boot delves into the life and times of "The Great Communicator" whose Hollywood and television careers prepared him for political success.

Veteran national politics reporter for Semafor David Weigel returns to the show for a discussion of the new conservative political biopic Reagan, starring Dennis Quaid as The Great Communicator, or as he was known in Russia, The Crusader, for the film is told from the perspective of a former KGB agent (Jon Voight) who identified him early on as the man who would someday defeat the Soviet Union with facts and logic. There's a lot to unpack with Reagan, filmed in 2020 during the pandemic and only being released now. This film represents how much the Conservative movement has changed in the Trump era and since this film was shot, which leads us into a discussion about how Reagan has been somewhat diminished in the modern Republican Party, and how this political hagiography is somewhat out of step with the times. Why is a film about such a significant historical figure such a low-budget, clumsy affair populated with “stars” like Kevin Sorbo and Robert Davi (as Leonid Brezhnev!) and told from the perspective of defeated Soviet spies, with a new Bob Dylan recording in the end credits?

How to Support the Rob Skinner Podcast. If you would like to help support my mission to multiply disciples, leaders and churches, click here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/robskinner Transcript of "How to Become a Great Communicator" When I got that call and saw who it was, I couldn't pick up the phone. I had a heavy feeling of fear deep in my gut. I let it go to voicemail. When I listened to it later, I didn't call back for a week. The voicemail message said, “Hey Rob, this is Bruce Williams. I was calling to see if you and Pam would be interested in planting a new church in Tucson, Arizona. Call me back when you get a chance.” The mixture of fear and confusion I felt paralyzed me into inaction. I was living in Oregon at the time working a full-time job as a Realtor and leading a church full-time as a self-supporting minister. Pam and I had been talking about returning to the full-time ministry. The pressure to run a growing church and support a family through the great recession and housing collapse was intense. I didn't know how long I could keep it up. However, the thought of change, upheaval and leaving my extended family while my kids were in high school worried me. So, I just didn't call back. I didn't know what to do. Fear keeps us shuttered in our homes, afraid of what might happen. It shows up when we avoid people, avoid contacts, ghost people who text us or call us and ignore emails sent to us. These behaviors are symptoms of fear. For some reason, we are afraid of what might happen, what might be said, what might be found out, what might be asked of us and we run from the conversation. As Solomon wrote in Proverbs 28:1, “The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.” We can downplay it or rationalize it for as long as we like, but this type of avoidance behavior is grounded in fear. When we avoid people, we are fleeing from a conversation or a confrontation that often needs to happen. God often works by sending the right person into our life at just the right time. That phone call, text, email, WhatsApp or DM (Direct Message) might be a message from God. If you have ever invited someone to church, followed up with them and then got ghosted you know the frustration and sadness you feel. Why? Because your invitation to them was really a ticket to heaven, a pass to eternal life. Why do people run away from God? It's been happening since the Garden of Eden. John explains this behavior in John 3:19-20, “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.” People ghost Christians because they are afraid of the light. They are fleeing God because their deeds are evil. They don't want anyone to know what they've been doing with their lives. Even after we become Christians God sends people into our lives. That's why it's so important to maintain and preserve connections with people and make ourselves available both to those we know and those we don't know yet. You never know when God is tapping your shoulder for something new and amazing. God called Jonah to lead one of the most miraculous revivals in the Bible, the repentance of Nineveh. Jonah refused to answer God's call, he ghosted him in Jonah 1:1-3. “The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2 ‘Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.' 3But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.” God was patient with Jonah and pursued him until he got his man. Jonah almost missed the greatest opportunity of his life because of fear, racism and prejudice. God called to him a second time and this time, Jonah was there to take the call. He responded and went to Nineveh. The whole city repented from the King down to the lowliest citizen. When I called Bruce Williams back, I made profuse apologies for my slow reply. He explained the offer of planting a new church. A new planting, financial support for several years, a full-time salary, an amazing city and university and anything else I needed to be successful. I told him no. I wasn't ready to make that move even though I felt like I was caught in a vise-grip of time and financial pressure. He was patient. He had another friend, John Lusk, call me a few weeks later and invited me to come and pray over the city of Tucson, Arizona all expenses paid. I gradually started to realize that maybe this was God directing me and offering me a new start. I went and prayed over the city. I spoke with Bruce and told him then that I still wasn't ready to make a decision. I came back home, prayed and fasted. One day after work, I walked into our master bedroom to take off my suit, shirt and tie and put on my casual clothes. Pam was still in bed. I asked, “Are you sick?” She said, “No.” I asked, “Why were you in bed all day?” She said, “Because I think we need to move to Tucson.” That's the moment when I realized God was definitely calling us and I needed to be bold as a lion and stop fleeing from God's call. I called Bruce and told him that we would go to Tucson. It turned out to be a great decision. The church planting blossomed from zero to one hundred members in two years and my kids were able to all graduate from the University of Arizona. Another church was able to get off the ground and many souls have been saved. It all started with a phone call and a voicemail. If you want to be a multiplying Christian, take a look at how you handle communications. Are you easy to reach? Do you call or text people back quickly. I think 24 hours is the maximum for voicemail, texts or emails. I don't think it has to be the same day. Sometimes you need to sleep on it and consider how you're going to respond. There are times that I can sense my anger is bubbling up. That's the worst time to call or text back. Better to give it a night to lose the heat and regain emotional control than to say, text or type something you'll regret and have to apologize for later. Practicals: · Stop making excuses for ignoring, delaying and avoiding people when they are trying to communicate with you. · Ask yourself, what is causing me to practice this behavior? Is it fear, shame, lack of faith? Whatever it is, deal with the reason for the avoidance behavior. · Decide to be a quick responder. Set a 24-hour limit on your responses if not sooner. You can say your not ready to decide, but at least make the connection. You never know when God is opening a door for you.

Dive deep into the controversial legacy of Ronald Reagan, often hailed as the Great Communicator. This episode pulls back the curtain on his policies that widened the wealth gap, his administration's mishandling of the AIDS crisis, and the damaging effects of trickle-down economics. We'll explore how Reagan's charm masked a presidency that favored the rich, ignored the marginalized, and left a lasting negative impact on American society. Join us as we critically examine the man behind the myth and the enduring consequences of his tenure.
We don't stumble into being good at things. Sure - there's raw talent. But, after a few curveballs get thrown into the mix then we need to reach beyond talent into experience and skill. Communication is one of the cornerstones of a happy life. Our business, personal, and relational growth is limited by our ability to articulate what we're experiencing. Opportunities slide away from us as we miss a chance to speak up. Relationships linger longer than needed since we don't know what words will get us out of them. In this episode, I want to explore what being a great communicator takes - and how to start from scratch. An easy way to send me a message? Click the link here.Have you enjoyed the podcast?
