Contnuing the visit to Los Angeles for the 2025 NAAM Annual Conference by talking with colleague Matt Anderson, Curator of Transportation at The Henry Ford Museum. The museum, founded by Henry Ford, holds a special place among museum fanatics. It is not only a car museum, but it sets out to preserve historical items, such as Abraham Lincoln's chair from Ford's Theater.

When young Shay Pendray told the head of her school that she wanted to learn to sew, he had a prerequisite: He would give her a lamb, and she would learn to process the wool, spin it into yarn, and weave it into cloth, and then she could learn to sew. It was an extraordinary home ec class, but the administrator in question was Henry Ford. Shay was one of the students in Greenfield Village, a living museum on the grounds of what is now the Henry Ford Museum. Shay has combined curiosity, hard work, good fortune, and a passion for needle arts ever since. Many fiber artists will remember Shay from the Needle Arts Studio with Shay Pendray. Wanting to share her knowledge of needlework, she developed a television series that ran on PBS stations for years. Before finding a national television audience, Shay opened successful needlework shops, studied embroidery in Japan, China, and Britain, and wrote several books. After decades as a business owner, television pioneer, and teacher, Shay finds great joy in sitting down with needlework every day, reveling in the variety of threads, materials, and information available to stitchers. Besides needle arts, Shay's other passion is for horses. She loves to ride her horse in the open spaces of Wyoming, admiring the value of the greens and golds in the landscape. Not long before we spoke, USA Today wrote (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/10/15/85-year-old-michigan-cowgirl-still-drives-cattle-across-wyoming/) about her: “This 85-year-old cowgirl is still herding cattle across Wyoming: ‘We will age together.'” This episode marks the fifth anniversary of the Long Thread Podcast, which was first released in April 2020.

The Jackson Home, originally in Selma, Alabama was a crucial place in the fight for true freedom for African-Americans.  It's been moved here to Metro Detroit at Greenfield Village in The Henry Ford, so that it can be preserved, celebrated, and the story told. So I went to Dearborn and talked with the Curator of Black History at The Henry Ford, Amber Mitchell.  Dr. Sullivan Jackson and Mrs. Richie Jean Sherrod Jackson offered their home as a sanctuary and strategic hub for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other Civil Rights leaders as they planned the marches that ultimately changed America.  From the Jackson's living room, Dr. King and others watched the “We Shall Overcome” speech by President Lyndon B Johnson… publicly backed voting rights.  The Selma to Montogomery March was planned there, and all of this culminated with the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.  So get all the details. Why it's here. What's happening with the progress. What kinds of programming are they thinking, and of course, the importance of this work being done today.

Raven Skyriver and Kelly O'Dell: Confluence

Pacific Northwest glass artists Kelly O'Dell and Raven Skyriver, who create sculptures inspired by marine life, species endangerment, extinction, and conservation, will exhibit their work at Habatat Galleries during next week's Glass Art Society conference in Detroit, Michigan. Titled Confluence, the show is a tour de force of works created in homage to the natural world and to raise consciousness in viewers about the need for preservation of natural spaces and species. On June 5, during Habatat's first ever VIP Artist Gala, Skyriver will present a glassblowing demo at the brand-new Axiom glassblowing facility, followed by artist talks given by Skyriver and O'Dell. On June 7, VIPs travel to the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation to view its important glass art collection and experience a rare opportunity to see the culmination of O'Dell's residency there via work she created onsite at Greenfield Village. In 2018, Skyriver and O'Dell launched a Kickstarter campaign to crowd-fund building their own studio on Lopez Island, Washington. They wrote: “We're now asking you for assistance to build our own glass studio where we can deepen our practice, give back to our community, and nurture our family… This project came from a vital need: to have more time together (AND about 10,000 fewer miles traveled on the freeway every year). We are moving to the island where Raven was born and raised to allow our son to grow up surrounded by his grandparents and extended family, but the island has no glass studio available for our use. So, we're building one, from the ground up, with the support of our friends and family.” Aside from creating their own work there, Skyriver and O'Dell's studio represents a place of education and community where visiting artists can be invited for residencies, short-term apprenticeships can be offered, and small teaching workshops can be hosted. They wrote: “This hotshop will allow us to pass on the knowledge that was so generously taught to us by our creative masters, and give back to our glass community.” Though they surpassed their initial Kickstarter goal, the studio remains a work in progress, evolving physically as well as philosophically. Born in 1982, Raven Skyriver (Tlingit) was raised in the San Juan Islands. Growing up connected to the land and its surrounding waters, and living in a creative household where carvers came to learn Northwest Coast style carving and design, helped push him towards an artistic path. At the age of 16, he was introduced to glass by family friend and mentor Lark Dalton and was immediately captivated by the medium. Exploring every opportunity to work in glass led Skyriver to being invited to work with Karen Willenbrink-Johnsen for the William Morris team in 2003. This was his introduction to sculptural glass and how building a vocabulary for narrative in his own work began. In 2018, the artist returned to Lopez Island where he was born, and he and wife O'Dell constructed a home studio where they can create their glass art. Says Skyriver: “I was raised near the sea and in a family that valued and practiced artistic pursuits from as young as I can remember. Some of my most vivid memories as a child were smelling the fresh cedar chips that were being removed by master carvers' blades as they sculpted beautifully elegant forms. The most excitement I have experienced in my life was the first salmon I ever landed, the time I saw a Sea Lion a paddle's length from my boat, and seeing a humpback whale feeding on smelt. When I was introduced to glass as a junior in high school, I was immediately captivated by the mesmerizing, alchemic, fluid nature of the material. From that day forward I have dedicated myself to honing my craft and perfecting my technique.”  Skyriver continues his artistic practice utilizing close observation of his sculptural subjects to create an ongoing personal dialogue. This inner conversation touches on the celebration of biodiversity, his understanding of his heritage, the importance of Native species, the gifts those beings bring to their communities, and the delicate balance that sustains our collective existence.  He states: “I draw from my experiences as a child and my continued fascination with the natural world to inform the work I make today. My goal is to capture the fluidity of an animal in motion, using the liquid glass to portray a dynamic moment in time. I attempt to imbue the subject with a hint of life and capture the essence of the creatures I depict. I want my work to speak to the viewer's own understanding of the wild and their place in it, and to instill a sense of the delicate balance that is our existence.” Born in Seattle, Washington, in 1973, O'Dell was raised by glass artists in Kealakekue, Hawaii, where her father built himself a hot glass studio at their home. In 1999 she graduated from the University of Hawaii (UH), Manoa, earning a BFA in Studio Art with a focus in glass, which she studied under Rick Mills. The UH program afforded many opportunities to study glass at Pilchuck Glass School, where she eventually relocated and became a member of the William Morris winter crew from 2003 to 2007.  Says O'Dell: “My upbringing happened in the Hawaiian Islands. I grew up on the Big Island, home of active volcanoes. Coming from a place so diverse in culture and climate, teeming with flora, fauna, and really great food, I noticed the difference as soon as I left it at 25. That difference made me feel the responsibility to honor what is lost, or extinct, not just with plants and animals, but with culture and climate, too. It is fascinating and devastating that our existence has so much impact on the delicate balance of life, our own species included. Through sculpture, my work explores themes of Memento Mori as well as extinction, preservation, and origin. The Ammonite, an intelligent coiled-up cephalopod, became extinct 65 Million years ago, leaving impressions in its habitat to fossilize. We learn from the past to be responsible in our future. I hope my artwork could serve as a reminder or Memento of this.” O'Dell's recent exhibitions include Fired Up: Glass Today, The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, CT, 2022; Chinese Whispers, curated by Erin Dickson, Glazenhuis, Lommel, Belgium 2022, and Glasmuseet Ebeltoft, Denmark, 2019-20; Glass Lifeforms 2021, The Fuller Craft Museum, Brockton, MA; and Fluid Formations: The Legacy of Glass in the Pacific Northwest, Whatcom Museum, Bellingham, WA, 2021. This year, the artist will serve a glass residency at The Henry Ford Museum, MI, and received The Myrna Palley Collaborators Award, University of Miami, FL. She and Skyriver will be instructors at Penland School of Craft, Bakersville, NC in July 2023. In her creative process, O'Dell is often inspired by a non-fiction book, a curious detail in nature, or a podcast about science or spirituality. That leads to research, and most ideas make it to her sketchbook. States O'Dell: “I'll return to those ideas later, after they've passed the test of some time. I need to be sure before I start a fresh project that I will be challenged with a new sort of problem-solving, which I really love most about making artwork. The process of glassmaking is hot, fluid, demanding, and not without help! In the glass shop, my favorite part about making artwork is working with friends. Glass is special in that it usually requires skilled teamwork, and we all sort of know the same language in the shop. Working with a team, it is possible to accomplish some pretty crazy challenges. While we help each other make artwork, we push each other and the limits of what glass can do. We cross paths regularly, and so we become community. We raise each other's kids, we bbq together, we camp at the beach, we travel to faraway places together, and we gravitate to one another in socially awkward situations. I feel very lucky to be part of this vibrant community.”

Our podcast interview with Neil Woodward covers his life's work.  Neil is an instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and folk historian who helps preserve musical traditions. He holds the title -- state troubadour. In 2003 the Legislature of the State of Michigan officially named Neil Woodward Michigan’s Troubadour in recognition of his lifelong commitment to preservation of Great Lakes folk music and culture. Woodward has served as the village troubadour at Genesee County's historic Crossroads Village and Huckleberry Railroad and spends his summers as a strolling musical performer at Greenfield Village in Dearborn. During the podcast you will hear four of his songs; "Engine 464", the "Swampin' of the Genesee Belle", "... say No?!" and "Peach Tree Creek". These songs represent  Flint historical stories.  The song "Engine 464" details the history of Engine 464 of the Huckleberry Railroad located at Crossroads Village near Flint, Michigan. the "Swampin' of the Genesee Belle" is a story about a boat which submerged on Mott Lake during its madien voyage.  The song " ... say No?!" is about Flint, and its legendary autoworkers. He painfully describes the pressures Flint autoworkers felt in the 1990's from the forces of globalization and the threats of losing their jobs to Mexican factories. Lastly, Peachtree Creek is a Civil War song which tells the story of a Flint, Michigan soldier wounded in Sherman's March to the Sea (Battle of Atlanta). Neil Woodward is recipient of 2018 State of Michigan Heritage Award "in recognition of his outstanding contribution to Michigan's cultural heritage."  Most of Neil’s work focuses on the preservation of Michigan's songs in the troubadour tradition, from Great Lakes sailor shanties to lumberjack songs.

Today’s episode we have the honor of welcoming back Jim Galvin with us. Jim is the general manager at Miracle Ford in Gallatin. Welcome back, Jim! Jim Galvin 0:57 John, thank you. It’s good to be back and look forward to the podcast. And hopefully, the viewers out here will be able to learn a little bit about our milestone that is participating as we speak now. John Haggard 1:09 Yeah, let’s talk about that. Because we understand that Miracle Ford did recently celebrate an important milestone in its history. Tell us a little bit about the milestone and how it was achieved, Jim. Jim Galvin 1:20 Well, and thank you, John. First of all, we are celebrating a milestone. If you think about it, not too many businesses can say, “We celebrated 40 years in business.” When I say 40 years, it’s 40 years since 1980. And plus, not only that, John, it’s family-owned. If you put those two together, it equals success, hard work, commitment, and loyalty to our customers in our community. And believe it or not, it all starts with my father, Jim Galvin Sr., who was the original owner, CEO of Miracle Ford, and now Miracle Auto. And I must say I couldn’t be more proud of what my father has achieved of making the success of the Miracle Automotive Group and we look forward to many years as what he has taught us. John Haggard 2:06 Well, you said Miracle Ford was founded in 1980. You had said, Jim, in an earlier podcast that your father had worked for Ford Motor Company first for I think it was 25 years before founding Miracle Ford in 1980. What do you remember him telling you about what it was like to work for Ford? I would assume he would come home and around the dinner table sometimes talk about “Hey, I was on the road. I went here, I went there” and he would talk about Ford. Jim Galvin 2:34 Well, you said it, John, he was definitely on the road. But dad lived an interesting life when he worked for Ford Motor Company. I can remember a lot of examples. I can remember the time where I first walked into the main headquarters in Detroit, Michigan. And when I first walked in the main headquarters, all I could see were men in blue, pinstripe suits. Everybody was in a blue suit. You think about In a corporate world back then, you would not dare not be in a suit. It just blew me away seeing all these guys in a suit. It sort of freaked me out because I was probably eight or nine years old and I’m thinking, “Wow, Dad, look at these people! They must be really something else.” He walked me around the headquarters because that’s where he worked in Dearborn, and he took me into the conference room. When I walked into this conference room, and you think about me, eight or nine, I had never been to a conference room. This room was absolutely unbelievable! I mean, the conference table was as long as the football field, there were pictures on the wall of Henry Ford, and it was all glass and I’m thinking, “Wow, what do we do here?” My dad said, “This is where it all started. This is where I meet, this why travel and this is what Ford Motor Company’s all about.” Then he walked me outside and we went about a half-mile to a place where Henry Ford designed a museum called Greenfield Village. I thought that was pretty cool because it was a replica of how the American culture and agriculture took place and how Henry started the Model T Manufacture, his plan, how people lived. It’s still there in Detroit. But for me, seeing this for the first time, I’m thinking, “Hey, Dad, this is pretty cool. I’m very impressed.” It was pretty cool, because not only did I see all that, but he worked with famous people. He worked with Lee Iacocca, Ross Roberts, Tom Wagner, and probably one of his best friends from this day is Joe Kathy, who was the CEO and the founder of America Motor. Dad had a great life with Ford Motor Company, he was very corporate, he was Ford Blue. All we could think about it in terms of Ford Blue we mean we bleed Ford. It means nothing but Ford is in our system and from this day and age, he loved it and he brought all those characteristics and ability to Gallatin. That’s how we got to become Miracle Ford. John Haggard 2:35 You know, it must have really been interesting because you’re talking about being eight or nine. And before that, you knew your dad traveled and he was away from home. He wasn’t there every night for dinner, but yet you got to go up there and see, “Well, what does he really do?” And would you say that was sort of a spark for you? Did you sort of think, “When I grow up, this is what I’m going to do.” Jim Galvin 5:29 Well, at that time, No, I did not. Dad did travel a lot. He was gone five days a week, and he came home on weekends. But when he came on weekends, it was all about us. I mean, he made sure that he took care of us, he played with us, he did things that we wanted to do. We ate at the kitchen table, I mean, it was family values, and he regretted being gone for that time. We traveled a bunch and we got transferred around a lot. We lived in four different cities before we bought the dealership in Gallatin here in Tennessee. But most importantly, he knew that he had to do what he did to make his life successful, and also to teach us kids to be successful as well. Looking back, I don’t regret him being gone five days a week, because I knew he made up the difference when he came home on the weekends, and he still found time to coach me as Little League team. He took me to ball games, and we really had a good, good relationship and I did not regret him being gone. I still admire him for all his accomplishments that he did with Ford Motor Company. John Haggard 6:37 Yeah, so let’s talk about some of the life lessons. He would come home like you said he’d be there on the weekend. Things that you remember when you were little that really stick in your mind today. “Well, Dad said this, if you’re going to do that,” for example. Jim Galvin 6:51 Well, I’m going to be honest with you and it might get a little emotional, since the passing of him on November 30. My father was simply the best, John. I mean, he was the rock of our family. He was also the rock of Miracle Ford. He loved life and was devoted to the family, and also God. He came from eight brothers and sisters. His dad was a doctor, and his mother was a devoted housewife. Something that really sticks with me and we try to do today is that every Sunday, my grandfather made a point to have everyone sit at the dinner table on Sunday. So they had dinner every Sunday at the dinner table. To me, that brings a lot of family values. He brought that back to us, as kids growing up, he made it a point that he would cook breakfast every morning for us before we got up and went to church, and that was his deal. He wanted to cook breakfast for us and he wanted to make sure that we sit at the table. He loved the fact of doing that to get to know us better and we get to know him. To me, he brought tremendous family values. That’s something that hopefully I’ll teach my kids and my kids to teach their kids. It was all about family and God, that’s why it’s worked for him, and it’s working for me as well. John Haggard 8:14 What would you say, Jim, if you think back of all the things that your dad taught you above everything else? Was there one thing that really stuck in your mind, it’s sort of like front and center above everything? Jim Galvin 8:27 Probably, tradition. It’s all about tradition in our family. We do things a little bit differently because we’re so close. We always seem to talk about things in our life that represent us the best and God as well. How he taught us through tradition, will hopefully teach us as we go on and teach our kids. He tried his best and I think it all goes back to his ties with Ford Motor Company with those executives. Dad always liked to watch and listen. He always taught me, “Don’t be afraid to do things that you think that you should do.” He called it, “Don’t fake life.” When you don’t fake life, that means, don’t fake, make sure you know how to do it. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Sitting with him and working with him for the last, 34 years, he says, “Just listen, and watch. And when you know what you’re supposed to do, go out and do it. Don’t be afraid, make that mistake. Because you are going to make mistakes, but you’re going to learn from those mistakes.” That has stuck with me more than anything else. Because now, since his passing, I’m running the dealership now. I’m always saying to myself, “You know what, what would dad do in this situation?” And I’m saying, “You know what, this is it. What would he do?” And when I sit down and I close my eyes, and I just think it comes clear to me. You know what, John, it really works because I put better decision making because of what he has taught me, and it’s a pretty cool thing, and I thank him every day. I just couldn’t be more proud of the values and the quality of what he’s taught me. John Haggard 10:12 You know, a lot of family businesses, if you look at statistics, don’t make it to the second generation or the third or the fourth, and now you’re on the second generation. What would you say? Because family can be complicated, sometimes. People have different opinions, different ways they want to do things. As you all come together, at the end of the day, is there like one or two keys to success that you would tell someone if they own a family business? Or how do you stay together and how do you come to a consensus and move forward? Jim Galvin 10:43 Communicate. Family Business is hard, It’s very hard. Someone may get their feelings hurt on a situation but the bottom line is, talk about it. Good or bad, you know, we’ve got to stick together because is our business, and we’re the rock. If we start arguing and start doing things that we’re not supposed to do, other people are going to see this. When other people see it, it’s going to break the rock of family tradition and communication. So get it out in the open, and discuss it. Do it from the beginning, don’t wait. Because if you wait, it’s just gonna get worse. So I would say communication is the key to any family business. In this day and age, John, you think 40 years business, there are not really many businesses around that have been here that long or have celebrated 40 years or 50 years. Or family-owned businesses because it’s just changed. I mean, we all see it. In our industry and our family, and with my brother and my sisters, I’m going to be honest with you since the passing of my father we have come closer. We’ve communicated more and we’ve been more open to each other. We say, “You know what, this is what we should do. This is how we should do it.” If it doesn’t work, then we figure out how we’re going to fix it. You know, we talked about it, and we’re talking, we’re communicating, and we’re getting tighter. Even though we’re a close-knit family, but I feel we’re getting stronger, pulled in together. That comes from one thing, that comes from my father upstairs, and he’s looking down on us. I truly believe that’s the whole key is to make sure family communicates because once you break away, then things start to go terribly, and we do not want that to happen. John Haggard 12:38 Yeah, you answered that very quickly. I said, “What’s the one thing? Communicate!” As you said, don’t let it fester, but communicate. So as you look back, Jim, over those 40 years, what would you say some of the milestone moments were some of the big surprises like, “Wow, look at this or look at what we did here or we didn’t think we could go there.” Is anything that sticks out like that were really exciting milestones leading up to 40? Jim Galvin 13:04 Well, if you would have seen our old facility, which was built in 1960. We’ve been in there close to 35 years, with the ceiling with water leaks. I mean, this building was absolutely old. But you know what, we made it our home and people knew where we were. The milestone of us to build a new facility that was probably the biggest, biggest project we’ve ever undertaken. But before that, I would say our accomplishment was the Blue Oval Certification, which is the highest standard of Ford Motor Company with a quality of customer satisfaction. The amount of time, sweat, hardship, and commitment of our employees and us that we had to go to get Blue Oval Certified was an accomplishment. From this day on, we’re very proud of that. We also look back at the best of Sumner County, how we’ve been voted each and every year for the last 10 years as the best Ford Dealership, in our area. We speak highly of that. It’s all due from our people here, our processes and our community involvement. We’re very proud because Gallatin has been an awful good Miracle Forward and Miracle Auto. We like to reach out any way possible to the community and like to thank Him and do special stuff. Without them and without our employees in the commitment that they gave to make us successful for years, we wouldn’t be here, John. You think about the Miracle, I want to talk a little about the Miracle because my father always wanted a dealership, but he did not want it to be called “Jim Galvin Ford,” he wanted something different. When my father and mother got together, they really researched, they’re very religious. They said, “You know what? The perfect word and the perfect scenario would be the name Miracle.” Because they knew Miracle could do so much with that name. People would ask, “Why did you name your dealership Miracle Ford?” Because of the things that we do and how we do it and how we were brought up. It just makes sense and it ties into so many neat things. It’s very clever because dad was very open, but he didn’t want to be in the limelight. That’s why he didn’t want his name, “Jim Galvin Ford.” He wanted something that would truly represent our family values, our community, our religion and most important, “Miracle” came to mind. John Haggard 15:36 So let’s look. It’s been 40 years. Let’s take a lookout with a crystal ball the next 5-10 maybe 20 years, that’s out there? What do you see for Miracle Ford? What’s coming up? Jim Galvin 15:47 I see growth, I see this town booming. Sumner County is the third largest, fastest-growing county in the state of Tennessee. I see electric vehicles becoming more popular, like the autonomous vehicle. I mean, it’s amazing that the manufacturers and what they’re doing. It’s changing, and we’ve got to be on board. Growth, the technology, and we got to change to, we’ve got to make sure we can’t keep doing things the old way. We’ve got to go out and make it better. In 5 to 10 years, you’re gonna see a lot more electric vehicles from Ford Motor Company, along with other manufacturers. I think with the autonomous vehicles, I still we still have a little more time. I see eight 9-10 years down the road before, everybody’s up to speed on that. It’s all coming to that, John. The main thing is Ford is still going to be around, and we’re still going to make them proud. John Haggard 16:43 So as you look at everything that we’ve talked about, over these past 40 years that got you to where you are and what we’ve just now heard about, as you see, the future. Anything we didn’t talk about or does anyone stand out or something that you want to say that I didn’t ask you about? Jim Galvin 17:01 Well, for somebody that wants to achieve 40 years, and they say, “How do you do it?” Customers want to know are you really believable? Do you really actually want to do what you do? Just like my father taught me, he was taught by his executives at Ford Motor Company. It’s amazing when you sit down and you listen, I keep going back to is listening, because I’m a firm believer, just listen to what people tell you, and then do it. And don’t be afraid to do it. If you are, you’re not going to make the next 40 years. Don’t be afraid to make a change either because change is also good. Once you make that change, believe in it, stick with it, and make sure you tell your people, “This is how it’s going to be,” and get them on board. When you get everybody together in that circle, John, it will work. That’s my goal, that’s something I always been taught by my father and from other people for Ford Motor Company. I can honestly say that this business has been such a pleasure and delight and I’m so glad to be part of working for Miracle Ford and for Ford Motor Company. John Haggard 18:07 Jim, let’s say this: Here’s to the next 40 years. Jim Galvin 18:12 John, we’re going to go that way. We’re gonna try really hard!

 On today’s show, Ryan and Howie travel to another of Walt Disney’s inspirational destinations.  This time we are going to visit Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford museum. Henry Ford made it his personal mission to preserve and record America’s technological and cultural progress.  His success in the automobile industry allowed him the assets and the ability to create an exhibit hall that would display inventions and artifacts that told this story of America’s progress. We all know how Walt loved progress and he was an American history buff as well, so this was an obvious place for him and Lilian to visit. Opening in 1933, the museum included many items from Ford’s personal collection.  It varied from automobiles to player pianos, from steam engines to grease pumps. Ford also built  a collection of buildings that spanned behind the museum that he named Greenfield Village.  Most notable of the buildings he built was a replica of Independence Hall. This beautiful museum and village really do an incredible job of telling the story of America’s technological advances. Howie and his wife were fortunate enough to travel to Dearborn, Michigan and follow Walt’s footsteps as they visited the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village.  Howie takes us through this space recalling the highlights and unique items that he and his wife encounter along the way. We really get a sense of what this massive land really encompasses from Howie’s description and we began to see how this place provided many inspirational ideas for Walt and Disneyland.  We also can see how drawing from inspirational places and items can help us in the classroom as well. Many teachers find inspiration in a variety of ways much like Walt did in his travels. We hope you enjoy today’s show and our trip to Greenfield Village.

Henry Ford was more than just an inventor. He was a collector and by the 1920s, he had amassed one of the largest collections of Americana in the world. He decided to display his collection at a museum in Dearborn, Michigan and the plan he laid out featured two separate facilities, one indoor and one outdoor. The indoor facility would tell the story of man's innovation and the outdoor museum would be a village about history. Today, we know this location as the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. On this episode, we are joined by our listener Bridget Schlack who worked at the museum for a number of years. She will share with us the types of items that are a part of the collection and she will also share some things that are unique in this collection. Some items seem to have attachments to them and this has led to stories of haunting experiences, some of which Bridget has experienced herself. The Moment in Oddity features 1000 Japanese soldiers decimated by crocodiles and This Month in History features SCOTUS striking down laws against interracial marriage. Our location was suggested by listeners Bridget Schlack and Emily Ridener.

Menlo Innovations CEO Rich Sheridan had the all-consuming thought during a difficult mid-career in the chaotic technology industry that things can be better. Much better. He had to find a way. His search led him to books, authors, and history, including recalling childhood visits to Greenfield Village every summer. The excitement of the Edison Menlo Park New Jersey Lab served as his siren call to create a workplace filled with camaraderie, human energy, creativity, and productivity. Ultimately, Rich and his co-founder James Goebel invented their own company in 2001 to “end human suffering in the world as it relates to technology” by returning joy to one of the most unique endeavors mankind has ever undertaken: the invention of software. Their unique approach to custom software design, they named it High-tech Anthropology® has produced custom software that delights users rather than frustrating them. The programming team creates the software that works every day without the emergencies that are all too common in the tech industry. The process itself is so interesting that almost 4,000 people a year travel from around the world just to see how they do it. Many spend a week or more studying “The Menlo Way” being taught by the Menlonians who love to share their experience and knowledge. What you’ll learn about in this episode: Rich’s background Menlo Innovations’ joyous culture that people come in the thousands every year to witness Why you need to turn your sights outward to who you serve and deliver joy to them Why Menlo has its employees work two to a computer and bans the use of earbuds How Menlo simulates the work environment during the interview process Why Menlo doesn’t even look at resumes The three-week paid trial new hires at Menlo enter into The tower of knowledge problem that becomes a prison on knowledge problem in the IT industry and what Menlo does about it How Menlo systematically gives each other feedback The one meeting Menlo has every day (and why they avoid other meetings at all costs) Why the Menlo team doesn’t even look at email on vacation Why staying the same is riskier than growing Ways to contact Rich: Email: rsheridan@menloinnovations.com Website: menloinnovations.com Book: “Joy, Inc.: How We Built a Workplace People Love” Twitter: @menloprez

While listening to my podcast interview with Rich Sheridan, you will get an innovative perspective on people, culture and design from one of the top organizational leaders and business builders in the US today. I am fascinated with people who have the enormous courage, heart, vulnerability it takes to actually do things differently (in Rich’s case, radically different). Whether you are a business IT leader employed by a company, or an entrepreneur. Rich and I cover equally cover the two, because he has had massive success with both. This discussion is a master- class. I felt like he was speaking to me personally on how to think about my own company and my own teams. I trust his message will be equally ring true for you.

About Rich Sheridan Rich Sheridan got started as a kid programmer in 1971. He is the author of Joy, Inc. He is a Michigan graduate BS Computer Science + MS Computer Engineering. He has never shied from challenges, opportunities nor the limelight. While his focus has always been around technology, his passion is actually process, teamwork and organizational design, with one inordinately popular goal: the Business Value of Joy! He is an avid reader and historian, and his software design and development team at Menlo Innovations didn't invent a new culture, but copied an old one ... Edison's Menlo Park New Jersey lab. Henry Ford's recreation of the Menlo Park Lab in Greenfield Village was a childhood inspiration! Some call it agile, some call it lean … Rich and his team call it joyful.

As the world celebrates the 150th birthday of Henry Ford, World Footprints takes you to the place where automobile history was made and beyond. Today we'll explore the treasure trove of history and culture in Michigan -- a State that both Ian and Tonya call home. We'll start our tour of the Great Lakes State in Mecosta County in Mid-Michigan where you’ll meet descendents of the “Old Settlers”—a group of twelve African-American families, including Tonya's family, who migrated by underground railroad and wagon train from Canada and Southern and Eastern states to settle in Western Michigan. Then we'll travel to the Southeast suburbs of Dearborn and Grosse Point where you’ll experience the Henry Ford and Greenfield Village as we share an audio history of American ingenuity. Finally, you’ll take a step back into history and experience what it was like to live the life of an auto baron as we visit the regal Grosse Pointe home of Henry Ford’s only child, Edsel Ford. We dedicate this broadcast to our dear father, Lonnie D. "Boogie" Johnson--a man whose wonderful legacy will live on forever.
