Billy Crawford répond aux questions. Il chante "Trackin" et "Hakuna Matata" en live dans le Réveil Chérie.

Der kleine Löwe Simba ist Sohn von Mufasa, dem König der Löwen, und damit selbst der vorherbestimmte Thronfolger. Dies passt allerdings seinem bösen Onkel Scar so überhaupt nicht. Zusammen mit den aussätzigen Hyänen plant er einen ungeheuren Coup, an dessen Ende der Tod Mufasas und die Flucht Simbas steht. Während Scar den Thron besteigt, landet Simba in der Wüste, wo er auf das Erdmännchen Timon und das Warzenschwein Pumba trifft. Die beiden nehmen ihn unter ihre Fittiche und ziehen ihn mit ihrer ganz eigenen Philosophie groß: Hakuna Matata, ein Leben ohne Sorgen. Aber Simba kann sich seiner Verantwortung nicht entziehen. Und als seine Kindheitsfreundin Nala ihn findet, muss er sich dem Kampf mit Scar stellen, um seinen vorherbestimmten Platz im Kreis des Lebens einnehmen zu können. The Lion King aus dem Jahr 1994, ein großer Zeichentrickfilm aus einer großen Disney-Ära. Bildgewaltig, voller Hitsongs - vom pathetischen Circle of Life bis zum Ohrwurm Hakuna Matata. Ein Film mit mehreren Fortsetzungen und Remakes in der jüngeren Disneygeschichte. A lot to uncover. Und so beginnen wir doch mal mit den wesentlichen philosophischen Fragen: Johannes, wie hältst du es mit deiner Lebensphilosophie: Der bedeutungsschwangere, schicksalsträchtige Circle of Life, oder eher das unbekümmerte in den Tag Hineinleben des Hakuna Matata?

It was Murphy's Law, of course. An inevitable that'll-teach-ya for breaking one of the golden laws of parenting: never take off a nappy if you don't have a replacement immediately to hand. Especially when your six-week-old baby has been stewing and straining and writhing in his cot. And double-especially (that's a thing) when he just had the live rotavirus vaccine and it's playing havoc with his belly. It was just as I bent his legs up and put a little squeeze on his stomach that I sensed it. Something in the air. A drop in barometric pressure. A little facial expression, perhaps. It might have been 2am but I threw myself back and across the room, out of the line of fire. It was like that scene in The Matrix, where time stops and Neo dodges bullets. You know in a horror movie when someone has their throat slit, and the blood sprays on the wall? It's a pattern, an arc, a kind of parabola of crimson gore. It was like that. Except yellow. An explosion of you-know-what was in his tummy one second, and literally dripping down the wall the next. And the bin. And on the laundry basket, the exposed floorboards and the corner of the chunky woolknit carpet. Somehow, he got it through the crack of the door to my wardrobe, a patina of tiny little specks down on my shoes. The distance he covered was unbelievable. I actually pulled out a tape measure the next morning... from the change table to the wall was 90-odd centimetres: twice his height. In relative terms, it's as if I pulled, twisted, and strained and pulled up my legs and propelled my last meal across three and a half metres of open territory. Guiness World Records, give us a call! I hosed him down, delivered him to his mum, fetched the disinfectant and started scrubbing the walls. The next morning, I put him on the change table again. This time he wasn't squirming. His tummy was a bit more settled. As I re-dressed him and pulled on his onesie, I sang to my son, and he stared up into my eyes. “It's our problem freeeee,” I sang. His face changed just a little as he cooed... was that a smile? “Philosophyyyyy,” he squealed. “Hakuna Matata,” his little mouth broke out in a giant smile. No question. An unmistakable smile. His whole face, his whole body seemed to smile with him. Just for me. I felt my chest flood with endorphins. It was the craziest physical reaction, just this rush, this sweep of joy and love. It said it all, really. Dripping walls one days and his first smiles for Dad the next. Welcome to parenting.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alegeri prezidențiale 2025 | Cine (re)intră în cursă și ce averi au candidații (Europa Liberă) - „Colectivul” Macedoniei de Nord. De ce se repetă aceeași rețetă a dezastrului la incendiile din cluburi (Panorama) - Se pot bombarda spitale ucrainene, dar nu și rafinării rusești! Cam asta e concluzia negocierii dintre Trump și Putin (Republica) - „Nimic nu este avantajos pentru Kiev. Negocierile au pornit și merg cât se poate de prost” / „Dacă pică Ucraina, noi suntem la rând”. Analiza discuției Trump-Putin nu dă vești bune Europei (HotNews) Cine va face pușcărie pentru dezmățul lui Iohannis? (SpotMedia)Desecretizarea de către președintele interimar Ilie Bolojan a cheltuielilor pentru deplasările externe ale lui Klaus Iohannis în cei 10 ani de mandat este un act sanitar. Și de transparență, și de legalitate, și de asanare a unei nesimțiri care depășește orice imaginație.Pe scurt, în cei 10 ani dl Iohannis a cheltuit pentru deplasările domniei sale peste 113 milioane de lei, adică aproape 23 de milioane de euro.Banii aceștia includ închirierea și operarea avioanelor de lux. Au fost doar zboruri cu regim special, niciunul de linie, dar și ciocoismul extrem al escalelor de Uber aerian la Sibiu, pentru a fi ridicată și lăsată consoarta.Nimic nu justifică asemenea dezmăț pe bani publici.Dl Iohannis a cheltuit 3,5 milioane de lei pe Hakuna Matata și în Safari prin Kenya. 7,5 milioane de lei că să fie primit de viceprimarul din Rio de Janeiro. 7 milioane de lei pentru turneul în Japonia și Singapore. Până și o vizită de o zi la Sofia a costat 50.000 de euro.Niciodată dl Iohannis nu a luat după el delegații de oameni de afaceri. Eventualii miniștri din delegație veneau separat, cu o cursă de linie.Situația tragică a României, ascensiunea extremiștilor sunt consecințe directe ale mandatelor Iohannis, ale dezamăgirii și frustrării provocate oamenilor inclusiv prin luxul opulent sfidător și secretizarea cheltuielilor în spatele cărora oamenii bănuiau sume exorbitante.  Dl Iohannis nu este singurul vinovat pentru această ticăloșie fără margini. El este profitorul, desigur, însă împarte vina cu armata de slugi care nu au îndrăznit să se opună, atrage atenția jurnalista Ioana Ene Dogioiu pe pagina SpotMedia.Alegeri prezidențiale 2025 | Cine (re)intră în cursă și ce averi au candidații (Europa Liberă)Mai sunt 47 de zile până la primul tur al alegerilor prezidențiale reluate după anularea celor din noiembrie 2024. Și se apropie de final una dintre cele mai importante etape - înscrierea și validarea candidaților. 18 martie este ultima zi în care se pot formula contestații la CCR privind înregistrarea sau respingerea înregistrării candidaturilor sau a semnelor electorale.Pe 20 martie, Biroul Electoral Central (BEC) va publica lista finală cu aspiranții la Palatul Cotroceni. Iar pe 22 martie e stabilită ordinea candidațior pe buletinul de vot.Campania electorală începe pe 4 aprilie.Europa Liberă reține că s-au înscris în cursă 21 pretendenți, iar pe lista BEC a candidaților ale căror dosare au fost admise sunt 12 persoane. Cinci au candidat și la scrutinul precedent, cel din noiembrie 2024. Iar patru sunt candidați independenți.„Colectivul” Macedoniei de Nord. De ce se repetă aceeași rețetă a dezastrului la incendiile din cluburi (Panorama)59 de morți, aproape 200 de răniți, peste 20 de suspecți audiați, șapte zile de doliu și o națiune cu 1,8 milioane de oameni în stare de șoc. Așa arată fotografia la minut a dezastrului din clubul Pulse, din Macedonia de Nord. Rețeta dezastrului de la Kočani ne este mult prea familiară. Românii au trăit-o pe pielea lor, acum 10 ani, în tragedia de la Colectiv, din București.Un club deschis într-un fost depozit de covoare, care primise o autorizație de funcționare în condiții îndoielnice, în care s-au folosit ilegal materiale pirotehnice în timpul unui concert al unei trupe cu care nu se încheiase niciun contract, într-o clădire a cărei singură protecție la incendiu erau două extinctoare și o singură cale de acces pentru un public de aproximativ 500 de oameni. Sună cunoscut?Totuși, prima mare diferență între catastrofa din Pulse și cea din Colectiv este că autoritățile din Macedonia de Nord au înțeles din prima clipă că nu pot gestiona singure amploarea dezastrului. Au cerut imediat ajutorul Uniunii Europene, prin activarea Mecanismului de Protecție Civilă, pentru a transporta zeci de pacienți în alte țări unde li se poate oferi tratamentul necesar. Nouă țări au oferit sprijin imediat. Inclusiv România, care a intermediat luni, cu un avion militar, transferul a patru răniți în Lituania, lucru confirmat și de Comisia Europeană.Integral pe pagina Panorama.Se pot bombarda spitale ucrainene, dar nu și rafinării rusești! Cam asta e concluzia negocierii dintre Trump și Putin (Republica)Se pot bombarda spitale ucrainene, dar nu și rafinării rusești!Cam asta e concluzia negocierii dintre Trump și Putin din 18 martie.Ambii au cumpărat timp: pentru a scăpa de Zelenski și pentru a slăbi poziția europeană!Rusia primește cadou un acord de 30 de zile pentru oprirea bombardamentelor asupra infrastructurii energetice, în condițiile în care Rusia are deja 12 rafinării avariate. Iar Ucraina tocmai ce a anunțat două noi arme: o dronă cu autonomie mare și o rachetă ucraineană care poate ajunge adânc în teritoriul rus. Și se va discuta încetarea focului pe Marea Neagră, unde oricum rușii au pierdut multe nave. În schimb, Trump, care în fiecare zi plânge pentru victimele războiului la televizor, nu a reușit să obțină un acord pentru a opri atacurile asupra civililor. Să nu mai moară ucraineni în spitale, în școli, în instituții și în magazine sau locuințe.Comunicarea rusă vorbește de condiționarea Ucrainei pentru acordul american, de a nu mai cumpăra sau primi armament și renunțarea la pregătirea militară. Orice ajutor militar sau informațional pentru Ucraina trebuie să fie oprit. Condiții care nu se regăsesc în comunicatul Casei Albe. Integral, în Republica.„Nimic nu este avantajos pentru Kiev. Negocierile au pornit și merg cât se poate de prost” / „Dacă pică Ucraina, noi suntem la rând”. Analiza discuției Trump-Putin nu dă vești bune Europei (HotNews)Iulia Joja, profesoară adjunctă la universitățile Georgetown și George Washington din SUA, nu vede nimic avantajos pentru Ucraina în discuțiile SUA-Rusia.Într-un dialog purtat cu HotNews după convorbirea Trump-Putin, experta în securitate a arătat că întreaga negociere „este o glumă pentru orice negociator”, din moment ce SUA s-au arătat gata de la bun început să ofere Rusiei toate concesiile posibile. Pentru Trump, spune ea, ironic, nimic nu este însă un eșec.  „Din punct de vedere factual, negocierile au pornit și merg cât se poate de prost. Dar ne așteptăm să vedem în continuare ca Trump să se înfățișeze drept mare negociator și câștigător”.„Prin condițiile pe care le impune pentru un armistițiu total, Rusia arată, pur și simplu, că nu și-a modificat cerințele maximaliste”. „Atunci, în aceste condiții actuale, vedem Rusia încercând să solicite o capitulare a Ucrainei. Iar aceștia sunt pașii absolut necesari către capitulare”. „În România, rămâne același calcul valabil ca până acum. Dacă pică Ucraina, noi suntem la rând”.

Send us a textWhat happens when a notorious villain tries to play the hero? The answer might leave you scratching your head as we untangle the cinematic web of "Kraven the Hunter." Imagine a film with all the ambition of "John Wick" but none of the coherence or thrill—yep, that's Kraven. We kick off with a side-splitting chat about voice impersonations before launching into our critique of this ambitious yet flawed film. Spoiler alert: CGI doesn't always cut it, especially when practical stunts could have put some much-needed bite into this toothless tale.Our conversation takes a detour into the strange world where wildebeests have a "Hakuna Matata" moment in Russia and robots drop candy like it's hot at the movie theater. We also couldn't resist poking fun at a comic book character named Tony, a.k.a. the Foreigner, whose hypnotic abilities left us both baffled and amused. Along the way, we sprinkle in our excitement for upcoming films like "Ballerina" with Ana de Armas and the next "Knives Out" installment, which we hope won't leave us craving more like Kraven did.Finally, we dissect the chaos of mismatched characters and plot holes big enough to trap a rhino—literally. From a forgettable family dynamic led by Russell Crowe to the surreal transformation of a character into the Chameleon, the absurdities keep piling up. As we wrap up our thoughts on this peculiar entry into the cinematic universe, we ponder how Kraven's legacy could have been salvaged with a touch more humor, chemistry, and a dash less CGI. So, if you're ready for a wild ride through the jungle of Kraven's missteps, grab your popcorn and join us for this candid and entertaining exploration.Written Lovingly with AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT

Nach einer kurzen, erholsamen Winterstarre inklusive Ski-Urlaub, Banana-Split und Besuch bei Mr. und Mrs. Santa höchstpersönlich sind die Twins endlich wieder auf Sendung. Doch neben großen Plänen und noch mehr Hakuna Matata stehen laut Liste der Neujahrsvorsätze zunächst unangenehme Vorsorgeuntersuchungen bis hinunter in die Intimsphäre an.

Send us a textSnow in Atlanta might sound as rare as a unicorn, but when it happens, you better believe it turns into a comedic spectacle worthy of its own reality show. Picture gangster-themed snowmen taking over the streets of the South—it's the kind of chaos that only an unexpected snowfall can bring. As we shake off the cold, we pivot to the world of sports, sparking a heated debate over the kings of the bench in basketball. Who deserves the ultimate sixth-man crown: Manu Ginobili, JR Smith, or Jamal Crawford? And if that wasn't enough, we throw Lamar Odom, Antoine Walker, and Danny Granger into a hypothetical basketball cage match. Spoiler alert: things get feisty.Ready to argue like it's Thanksgiving dinner? Our Disney movie rankings will have you picking sides faster than you can say "Hakuna Matata." From singing praises for "The Lion King" to questioning if "Remember the Titans" deserves its legendary status, we tackle the heartwarming, the nostalgic, and the outright controversial picks. We challenge each other's lists, throwing down over classics like "Mulan" and surprising choices like "Holes." It's a no-holds-barred Disney showdown, and we're not holding back on our hot takes. Whether you're Team Classic or Team Live-Action, this segment promises a lively ride.Switching gears, we dive into the curious intersection of politics and entertainment. Starting with a pitch for a Frozone TV series—because who doesn't need more icy superhero antics—we comment on a surprising camaraderie between Barack Obama and Donald Trump at Jimmy Carter's funeral. Is political authenticity a myth? We have thoughts. And if that's not enough, we tackle the prickly issue of inmate firefighters, questioning fairness and safety in these burning debates.

In this episode, we're revisiting our Real Talk series and we'll be focusing on Band Aid and Hakuna Matata. In Band-Aid, we learned how to confront trauma the right way —not with temporary fixes, but by true healing that God gives. In Hakuna Matata, we were taught how to handle depression and anxiety. This episode is very powerful.

Ce mercredi sort "Mufasa", le prequel du "Roi Lion", le dessin animé Disney sorti en 1994... le film d'animation le plus rentable de l'histoire ! La bande originale est d'ailleurs constituée de chansons composées par Elton John, comme "Hakuna Matata". Et pourtant, la star anglaise a failli garder un très mauvais souvenir du "Roi Lion"... Dans "Ah Ouais ?", Florian Gazan répond en une minute chrono à toutes les questions essentielles, existentielles, parfois complètement absurdes, qui vous traversent la tête.

East Coast Breakfast's Darren Maule had an exclusive sit-down with the legendary Dr. John Kani and the brilliant Kagiso Lediga to discuss the magic behind 'MUFASA: The Lion King Story', their roles and what makes this project so extraordinary. MUFASA releases in cinemas everywhere on Friday, 20 December 2024. Webpage

Μετά την δημοφιλή σειρά για τις ταινίες του 1999, το POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες ταξιδεύει και πάλι στα ‘90s για να επισκεφθεί αυτή τη φορά το 1994. Μια χρονιά με τεράστιες ταινίες που αγαπήθηκαν από το κοινό, από τους κριτικούς και από τα βραβεία, με διαχρονικές επιτυχίες από το Forrest Gump και το Pulp Fiction, μέχρι το Chungking Express και την Κόκκινη Ταινία. Σήμερα, και καθώς το πρίκουελ Mufasa (σε σκηνοθεσία Barry Jenkins!) έρχεται σε λίγες μέρες στους κινηματογράφους, επισκεπτόμαστε το Pride Rock για να μιλήσουμε για το Lion King. Τι είναι αυτό που κάνει το Lion King να παραμένει μια αγέραστη μέχρι και σήμερα ταινία κινουμένων σχεδίων; Είναι η αυθεντικότητα του ζωγραφισμένου τοπίου; Είναι οι σαιξπηρικές αναφορές; Είναι τα τραγούδια του Elton John; Είναι το Hakuna Matata; Είναι η φωνή του Jeremy Irons; Είναι η φωνή του James Earl Jones; Είναι φυσικά όλα αυτά, αλλά πώς έφτιαξαν ένα αρμονικό αποτέλεσμα; Στο επεισόδιο, ανατρέχουμε στην απρόσμενα περίπλοκη διαδικασία δημιουργίας της ταινίας, που περιλάμβανε αλλαγές (και προσθήκες) σκηνοθετών και μια ριζική αλλαγή κατεύθυνσης για το πρότζεκτ. Ακούμε τον ηχητικό σχολιασμό των σκηνοθετών που αναλύουν πολλά από τα κρυμμένα μυστικά της καλλιτεχνικής επιτυχίας. Πόσο κοντά στο φιάσκο βρέθηκε η ταινία; Γιατί η «καλή» ομάδα των animators δούλευε στο Pocahontas αντί για αυτό; Πώς συνδέεται η επιτυχία του Lion King με εκείνη του Lilo & Stitch αλλά και με του Αυτοκράτορα που Έχει Κέφια; Ποιο τραγούδι θα έβγαινε παραλίγο εντελώς διαφορετικό; Γιατί παλεύουν έτσι ο Simba με τον Scar στο τέλος; Γιατί κοιτάζονται έτσι η Nala με τον Simba στη μέση; Και πώς αποφασίστηκε να ξεκινάει έτσι η ταινία στην αρχή; Αυτά και άλλα πολλά ακόμη στο POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες αυτής της εβδομάδας!

Une exploration des expressions contemporaines du taarab à Zanzibar avec Brain Boy, Siti Amina et l'équipe de la Dhow Countries Music Academy. Un reportage de Jeanne Lacaille en marge du Festival Sauti Za Busara (@sautizabusara). (Rediffusion) Formé dans le creuset du métissage zanzibari au XIXè siècle, mêlant influences africaines, arabes et indiennes, le taarab est LA musique traditionnelle de l'archipel, sa bande-son par excellence.

Quelles sont ses perspectives d'avenir dans un contexte local de sur-tourisme ? Intimement lié à l'histoire politique de l'île, le taarab a-t-il encore un rôle à jouer sur l'échiquier local ? Que reste-t-il de l'héritage des pionnières ? Après Siti Binti Saad et Bi Kidude, le taarab est-il toujours un vecteur d'émancipation pour les femmes ? Nos invités :>> Lauréat d'un Zanzibar Youth Award en 2022 pour son EP The Return of Zenzi Flavor, Brain Boy est une jeune pousse du Zenji Flavor, mouvement hip-hop né dans les années 90 à Zanzibar qui sample abondamment taarab & kidumbaki dans un geste créatif et identitaire. Son rêve ? Un Grammy Award pour le taarab !

I'm Stuart the Webb, the host of this thing, and I'm joined today by, a guest I'm truly honored to be, to be on the podcast with me. This is doctor Daniel Bougie. Doctor Daniel Bougie is a, is is a public health, expert, but has recently taken part in the 200 the Webb Sustainability World Cup. And I'm proud to be able to say, as a judge of that particular competition, he was voted and his team won, but he was voted the most impressive and valuable team leader of that competition. So, doctor Buge, thank you so much for spending a few minutes here with us today. I'm really honored that you've taken some time out of what I know is a very busy day for you to come and spend a few minutes with us. But please, just spend a few minutes.Stuart Webb [00:01:22]:Please introduce what it is you do because you have got a really very impressive CV.Daniel Gbujie [00:01:30]:Yes. Thank you very much, sir. And first of all, since after the completion, I've not had time to thank you. On behalf of the team, I wanna thank you for, you know, your imputes and your ability to crystallize why we should be sustainable on a global level, on a local level, on a subnational level. The game indeed has inspired us, and the game has been able to identify the uniqueness in all the regions as you know. And of of course, the game has also been able to inspire us young people knowing that the ones that have gone before us are really smart people. Yeah. So I am Daniel Buje Chidoben.Daniel Gbujie [00:02:13]:I was born in, in West Africa, Nigeria to be precise, in the southern part of of the country. And I am, a human being that has evolved over time. I say that with all honesty because if you don't evolve in light of the realities of the changing time, you will just become extinct just like the dinosaurs who felt who felt that they were the tallest, the most massive, amount of, species in the world, when others were running for for shelter and hiding on caves and evolving in the kinds of meals they can do and inventing, they felt they could muscle weight. And then where are they now? They are fossils. So the lesson is, I'm a child or an African child who has seen it all in the continent, who understand what it means to be poor, who understand what it feels like to see people being poor, who also knows that there's a better world for everyone if people tap into the better versions of themselves. I do have a health background, and that also helped me be able to articulate, you know, what I really want in life and how I could move forward. But, things got better for me when I got the opportunity to come to the United States on scholarship. I actually did come with the climate change background, the fellowship in climate change, and that really helped me.Daniel Gbujie [00:03:50]:The former vice president, his excellency, Al Gore, runs an environmental based program. Al Gore was once the vice president here in the United States. He he runs, an environmental based stuff. He was looking to expand, you know, and then he brought a lot of Africans, Asians to come to the US, you know, to come and learn more about the changing times. That also influenced me because at that time also, I was with the World Medical Association as a resident doctor then. There's a there's a junior doctor network within the World Medical Association, and they were looking into the environmental impact of health, you know, and I felt, wow, that will be nice. So about that same time, I got the opportunity to come to Colorado for some training, and boy was I introduced to sustainable development goals, climate questions, sustainable energy, renewable energy, clean energy, you know, all those beautiful terms, you know. And that really inspired me to know that, woah, there's a lot Africans need to do rather than just keep numb or keep paralyzed in the past while others evolve, you know, digitally, others use technology, others look for new ways to reinvent humanity.Daniel Gbujie [00:05:18]:We cannot keep being where we are, doing the same kind of things that have not changed anything. So I and many of the young Africans felt it would be wise to, you know, evolve and begin, you know, to to bring in this best sciences, evidence based sciences on how our environment, the policy we have, the way we do business, the way we articulate our views, the way we tell other members of the world, you know, the western world that we are an asset to be harnessed. But how do you know you're an asset to be harnessed if you don't know what it means to be harnessed? So, so over the years, I've evolved, like I said, but I'm proudly an African who understand where we should be and working with over Africans to bring about a better world for everyone Webb we all can see ourselves as, as brothers and sisters and as instruments of change for a better world. And that's the principle of sustainability. It's not about you. It's all also about those that are yet to come. However, the current people need to exist in time and space. Right? Why we do that? We do it in such a way that we do not disadvantage or we do not prevent those ones coming not to feel empowered, not to feel blessed with the natural resources that we have.Daniel Gbujie [00:06:46]:So so that's a little about, about about me. And,Stuart Webb [00:06:51]:That is that is if there is nothing else that you say today, Daniel, that shows well, 2 things. 1 of which is, you have a very, very impressive CV. You have got those honors that you've been brought in order to be able to bring that sustainability. From what you're learning back to where you went so that you can actually implement some of what you've learned, and we'll get on to how you're doing that. But also, Webb we I think we did at 1 stage on the sustainability world cup to talk about If there was 1 thing that we could teach everybody about sustainability, it would be to think not in quarters, not in years, but in decades because sustainability needs to needs to be thinking about not not not our children, but our children's children and the world we lead for the future because it is only by thinking in decades that we can actually start to see the sort of, the sort of effects Stuart we want. And I must admit, we we can get quite we can get quite distraught by some of what we see around us, but we have to realize that only a decade ago, this wasn't even a movement, and now it is embedded and people are Webb, and it is going to be different in another 10 years. So we need leaders like you in order to take people into that that new, that new thinking. So so that was a little bit about you and how you, you you you have become the person you are.Stuart Webb [00:08:23]:But how did you get involved in the Sustainability World Cup? What was it about it that you, that you that you that interested you, and how did you get involved? And and tell us a little bit more about the team that you're involved with.Daniel Gbujie [00:08:35]:Yes. Thank you. So I I feel it's just coincidence, and and I totally agree with your viewpoint that you must always be thinking futuristic, you must also be thinking of the actions you take now and how it has rippling effect in the future. And that's what really happened to me. So I did set up a nonprofit based organization here in the United States. Shortly after my training in Colorado at the Climate Reality Project, I, got to meet, a wonderful American lady. Her name is Renon Garriga, you know, and, we both got involved in the training, and we became mutual friends. And, over the years, we we we lost contact at some point.Daniel Gbujie [00:09:23]:But when she came back online, she saw that I had built a network of people across over a 100 questions, and I was really going into environmental climate actions, creating content, creating ideas, domesticating the knowledge of sustainability that involves vulnerable people, involves a better natural way we handle our natural resources to the benefit of people without creating poison, emissions, without, creating, distorting ecosystems. She liked the way that I was explaining, you know, the science behind climate change, the need for us to evolve, the need for us to be more smarter in our agricultural practice, cutting down trees indiscriminately to build shopping mall only for you to have flooding that kills thousands of people in less than 5 year. Doesn't make sense. So so so she loved all those concept. But somehow Webb lost contact. And then around March ending, you know, she reached out to me. Oh my goodness. You're doing a wonderful job.Daniel Gbujie [00:10:27]:I said, woah. Long time. What's going on? She says, there's this sustainability World Cup, and I know you are into sustainability development goals. They're all the same. It's just a process. It will be nice for you, you know, to gather your teams in team 54 project, you know, maybe 2 teams of 5 people, and let's see whether you can be in the final. I said, wow. That that would be nice.Daniel Gbujie [00:10:51]:I did not have any intention of joining. Mine was to push my team, push the movement, and bring them on board. And then somehow it now became a fact that we needed an African team, you know, and, I knew fully well that if the game is gonna be a simulation or an Internet based platform, it's gonna be hard because about the week, a week before the competition started, an undersea cable that runs through, West Africa got damaged. It had affected, you know, much of West Africa and some parts of the Central Africa. You could imagine. So already before now, the Internet penetrance was very poor. Now you now have a cable damage, so it's it only means it's gonna get worse. So I had to intervene, and and what what we did was we needed to now find, like, a team of people, you know, that has administrative background, marketing background.Daniel Gbujie [00:11:52]:I have a health background and a bit of sustainable development goal background. Having worked with the UN for some time, you know, and, I just decided that it would be nice to keep it within our team, you know, and, with her help and help of the organizers, we're able to form team Hakuna Matata. That's our AKA, you know, but we're team ambassador team. So it's, it's, it's providence, it's, hard work over the years, it's maintaining a steady relationship, it's also reaching out to my brothers within the continent and telling them that we cannot continue to remain where we are. If there's any opportunity to show the world how we think and articulate processes, It only adds value, you know, to the system. The world needs value, not not just the product, but a value based product. And the only way we can add value is to be part of the process, create, over own niche for ourselves, and get all these best sciences and domesticate it in the peculiarity of our region, in our social economic realities, so that our people know that we cannot remain where we are, and we cannot keep doing the same thing over and over again that has not given us a positive outcome, believing it will do the same thing. That's insanity.Daniel Gbujie [00:13:25]:So so the the the the opportunity that the sustainability woke up, you know, the little that I knew then created was something that I always five. I love a new challenge. I love innovation because I know innovation brings improvement. Improvement brings knowledge. Knowledge adds to culture change, the mentality, the mindset. So being a driven person, being a tech person, being someone who wants to showcase the continent as people that truly articulates knowledge, you know, I felt it was just, right to to, you know, represent the continent, and the game indeed created that platform well. You alongside the 8 judges and the organizers, professor Lila and Edmund, you know, created a wonderful game that is life changing. In short, I think it's the best content that we can ever have, you know, different from the kinds of game we always know, you know, the violent, the shooting, the slaying, and all this.Daniel Gbujie [00:14:28]:This is the content that can get you thinking. This is a content that does not create a monopolistic Stuart. No disrespect to monopoly, but the idea is that the sustainability principles are all immersed in this game. It's a tool that helps you think out of the box and helps you relay the concept of sustainability in a way that you have fun, build teamwork, you know, brainstorm with others, see the way people articulate thoughts, and then you know how to create the messaging. So so our our fusion in the game was just years of experience, years of building healthy relationship with environmental based people, and they're reaching out to us and say you're doing a good job. You can take this to another level, create content for the platform, inspire a new generation of people to better see what sustainability is from a gaming kind of point. So it was a match made in heaven, so to say.Stuart Webb [00:15:29]:So tell me, Daniel, what what advice would you give people? I'm going to just put the the the link now on the screen to show people where they can go and get some more information about what the Sustainability World Cup is. I mean, but what what advice would you have for people who might want to enter, next year and compete in the way that you have to and and achieve the sort of results, the sort of knowledge, the experience that you've got from, from entering for this year?Daniel Gbujie [00:15:53]:Yeah. So for for those wanting to enter for next year, I would just say have an open mind. You know? 1st, ask yourself, the world in which we're living in, are you very comfortable with the way things are going? Whether it's governance, whether it's your future, whether it's the future of the kids, is there a tool or an alternative way to press the reset button and start to have the mindset that respects the environment, respects people, and can still help you make your livelihood. You understand? In such a way that you are not a threat to not just yourself humans because humans think they're the only ones on the planet. No. No. No. No.Daniel Gbujie [00:16:36]:There are other non living things and living things that do not speak like us or go to school. But they are very important in creating the balance that we need. So there are lower animals, there are birds, there are animals, there are insects, There are bacterias. All of all these are part of the balancing act within a biosphere. So if you feel very passionate about being an agent of change and creating stability, sustainable development World Cup platform is a wonderful way to do that with a team, to do that, you know, enjoying yourself, you know, building that leadership trait, seeing how people articulate thoughts, listening to the judges, how they crystallize their opinions, you know, how they tell you that sustainability has many terms. Sustainability is a kind of improvement. Sustainability is a kind of social vehicle that creates change that we badly need in light of, you know, the growing, emission, in light of the the pollution, in light of the flooding, in light of climate crisis, if there's any way that we need to change our ways, we need to change the ways from where our pockets are. You know? Once we're able to control where we spend our money, we'll be able to be able to create a better definition of what wealth should be, a better definition that includes everyone, inclusivity, diversity.Daniel Gbujie [00:18:07]:These are terms that look so big, but these are the principles that sustainability, you know, drives on, that you cannot leave anyone behind. Anytime you develop or do anything, whether you you create a new financial market system, a new health system, a new educational system, a new fashion system that does not include the people, that does not include respect for the environment. Any system you build with no respect for the environment, for the people, for inclusion. It's not gonna be sustainable. It will not stand the taste of time. And when chaos begins to come, you will just fall like a pack of cat. However, if you absorb the sustainability principle that says that you can exist in time and space and create hope for the people coming and empower them as quick as possible, If you factor in environmental factors, you factor in social factors, you ensure that there are policies that protect our natural resources. You ensure that the decisions you make are all in the interest of the common good, not just America, UK, Europe, but also Africans.Daniel Gbujie [00:19:20]:Yes. These are some of the things that the game brings to you. And the game has its own calculations. The game teaches you how to really apply, you know, this is a financial game. So the corporate sustainability definition, how it connects with your everyday life, how you see the indices and the components that helps you grow and develop, you know, business and even your individual life. So I will encourage you five an open mind, be willing to learn, and then listen to the instructors, listen to what they say, follow those terms, ESG, environment, social, governance, framework, or indices. What it means is the corporate way that investors use to assess companies now to know whether they are viable for investment. You know, if you want to develop anything, your Stuart up ideas, if it doesn't have the elements of respecting natural resources, including people, targeting vulnerable community, meeting the needs of people, protecting environment.Daniel Gbujie [00:20:27]:It's not gonna stand the taste of time. It will just come and go.Stuart Webb [00:20:31]:Daniel, I mean, I think if anybody has any questions about why you were the, the the the the leader and voted the most, the the the best leader in this Sustainability World Cup. They've got a very good idea from what you've just said, how well you and you embrace Stuart, what you what you've what what you've learned from it. But what are you doing with your knowledge now? What are you doing in order to take this to the next level? How are you using those experiences? You've spoken a little bit about the nonprofit, but what are you now doing with those with those experiences in order to take you into the next, into the next phase of your, your journey?Daniel Gbujie [00:21:08]:Yes. Thank you. What we're now doing, what I am doing along with the team is creating awareness for the people back in the African continent. We are beginning to see a lot of people, you know, want to be in the next game. I know our friends in Ghana, I know friends in Ghana that want to set up 4, 5 teams, you know. I know people in South Sudan, they say they want to get involved in the team. And because, you know, the the the competition has a bit of benefits. Webb, it has a certificate that's given to you.Daniel Gbujie [00:21:39]:Secondly, it gives you visibility and exposure. Thirdly, you come into a community of people who are seasoned experts in corporate sustainability, and, and that's if you do your homework well, you can network well. Of course, while in the game, I develop an idea around an app called test. The app is to create a bit of awareness and see how sustainability can be done on an individual level. You know? So if you are a housewife and you have the app on your system and you want to see, okay, how can I be sustainable this week? You type in all the things you wanna do, and the app is able to give you, like, an idea. It's like a chat gpt of sustainability. You know, if you are a tomato seller, you want to sell tomatoes, you don't know how to be sustainable, it starts from the farm, right? Farm to the market. You know? So it tells you the farm to the market principles, areas where you can leverage on local sourcing, area where you can even have your own greenhouse stuff.Daniel Gbujie [00:22:42]:So those are kinds of the things that I've learned from the game. But most importantly is to raise awareness amongst my kind, The people in the continent, you know, explain sustainability in the language they understand. Swahili is the most spoken language in the central and the southern part of Africa. Hausa is 1 major language spoken in the entire Western African region and some parts of North Africa. In somewhere within the Southern Africa, we have Portuguese too. Angola, Mozambique, they speak Portuguese too. And of course, in most of West African, we have the Commonwealth of Nations that the English speaking part of it. So how to domesticate this knowledge of sustainability that every single person had to contribute towards that sustainability pool.Daniel Gbujie [00:23:32]:It is that critical mass of people that move the needle of progress. Just me and you doing things when 7 0.8000000000 people are not doing it will not work. Just United States and China believing that they are doing sustainability. It ain't gonna work. What truly works is when we have critical mass of people at the same time doing in their only 2 corner the sustainability. Got it. The sustainability principles. Now, doing that creates a culture.Daniel Gbujie [00:24:04]:Remember, a culture is formed when bulk sum of people over time. Aggregating their thoughts and are believing in a system that will drive them towards the promised land. It's not few people. We have to do this together, and we have to uplift those that are not in the current position to help themselves. And that's why I always want to use platform like yours that you are creating for us. Reach out to our leaders. You know? See young people in the continent, especially Gen Z's, especially people in the nineties and the eighties. We're tired of being, being told about the colonial time.Daniel Gbujie [00:24:42]:When we know the world has evolved, we just want to eat our fries. We just want to eat our fufu and Gary. We want to watch our Netflix. We want our kids to go to good schools. You know, trying to create an environment of toxicity won't work, especially now that young people know what's going on, is what's going on in in in Kenya. It's happening in Nigeria. It's happening everywhere. Young people, especially Africans, are tired, and they are showing their skills in music.Daniel Gbujie [00:25:13]:Almost every musician now sings African music. And go and check the age of all the African musicians that are topping the chart now all over the world. Bonaboye is in his thirties. Right? Davido is in his thirties. These are young people who are tired of how their, ecospace is not allowing them to evolve. When they see global best practices, they bring it on board and then they become celebrity. It's the same thing with the sustainability workers. So we're encouraging, Africans, young Africans, you know, partner with the sustainability world cup team, create a miniature version of your own, use that to identify young people that think critically out of the box, incentivize people, tell these young people whatever comes out of this will be to the development of your people.Daniel Gbujie [00:26:02]:You know? And all this will bring progress, development, and then investors will see that there's a critical mass of people who understand sustainability. Why not we go to invest? Because investors are also looking. Do we have resources? Human resources. It's not just about capital. Do we have human resources? Do we have the right environment? You know, to ensure development goes forward. Sustainable development or sustainability cannot work when there is conflict. It's simple. And the principle of sustainability defines itself that you have to be more inclusive, more transparent, more honest.Daniel Gbujie [00:26:37]:You have to respect the entire ecosystem. So domesticating this knowledge will be very central and that's what I intend to do with my app. Of course, working with you and many of, you know, many of the judges and many of our new partners that are relating to us. I truly believe we can have an app that can, you know, translate sustainability in all the major languages in Africa and remind people that sustainability can be on a personal level, on a subnational level, on a national level, and, of course, on a global level. But when all these connect together, that's only when we drive the sustainable development. You know? So these are some of the things we're doing. And then before I end, 1 of my teammates, sorry, 1 of my teammates is trying to build a cubicle, a cubicle that is called a solar box. He wants to build it at the center of a major market.Daniel Gbujie [00:27:32]:Now that solar box will have sockets all around about the 1, 000 sockets within the center so people can plug in their stuff, you know, you can barbecue, you can cook, you can trim hair, you know, you can refrigerate, you know, something like that. So these are some of the things we're trying to do, you know, eco smart practices, pilot projects in some of this stuff, you know, bringing in these principles we've learned within the and the things you've taught us within the game. So those are the few things.Stuart Webb [00:28:03]:Daniel, if there is anything I can do I mean, it it what you you you are you are you are an impressive an impressive leader. I think we can all agree that. And, I will once again I would just put up. This is, this is Daniel's, LinkedIn profile, which you'll find on LinkedIn, obviously. If you're not following somebody as impressive as doctor Daniel Bougie, then go follow him now because this man is gonna go a long way, really a long way. Daniel, IIII just wanna ask you 1 final questions, and the question obviously is, I haven't asked you 1 question that you must be burning for me to ask. What is the 1 question that you think I should five asked that I haven't yet?Daniel Gbujie [00:28:47]:Oh my goodness. Woah. That is so good. Okay. So 1 question I truly feel that you should have asked me is, what drives Africans to to to be much resilient, you know, in light of the things they see, in light of the things some of their leaders do. And why is it that when they move to clients or environments that are very, merit based, they always excel.Stuart Webb [00:29:23]:Mhmm.Daniel Gbujie [00:29:24]:So I I feel that that question will also go a long way.Stuart Webb [00:29:27]:What is the answer to the question?Daniel Gbujie [00:29:29]:And the answer is that the truth of the matter is that progress and development are a mixture of 2 walls. The those that do not have and those that have. Now the problem often is for those that don't have, if they're not inspired to want to have, it becomes difficult for them because they become paralyzed and they will not five, and the circle of poverty continues. But when you have experienced not having and you have the willpower, the I believe kind of mentality, the growth mindset, you know, when you observe best Webb you see evidence based science, when you seek knowledge and understanding, when you domesticate this knowledge and understand it with your African belief system. My African belief system tells me that we are community driven. There's a community based approach that brings about development. And that's the definition of sustainability. It's not a 1 person thing.Daniel Gbujie [00:30:33]:Now my African belief system tells me that, my brothers, my uncles, my mom, my dad, my nephews, my are all part of that eco space. And I must work hard to defend, you know, that community, that unionism, that common goal, that common agenda. Now all of those things build resilience. Remember, I'm a reflection of many things I have seen. Knowledges I've gotten in the US, experiences I've gotten in Africa, experience I've gotten in my marriage, experiences I five seen on TV. All of us are a reflection of that. However, we can turn that around. We can absorb those positive attributes and bring to light and inspire new generation of people that, yes, you see my skin like this, but I think differently.Daniel Gbujie [00:31:21]:I know that 4.03 parts per million is not good for the climate. I know the emphasis is to bring down carbon emission to pre industrial level. I know fully well that you may be concerned about your polar beer, but my brothers in Ethiopia are more concerned about their goods, their millet, their means. They are all needs that are different. However, it is the human needs that brings us together. And that if we work together in such a way that those that do not have and those that have can come together, we can build a better world where people that don't have now have hope and aspiration to learn because they know that their brothers that have are willing to help them pull them up the ladder of progress. So our resilience as an African, young man, young woman, or Africans you see are a reflection of our environment. But what has changed over the last 30 years is that young people do not want to get sucked up.Daniel Gbujie [00:32:26]:You know, we want to ensure that this resilient mindset which is also part of the definition of sustainability. Ability in the long run to sustain, you know, a culture that respects everything within the environment, respects the system established, respect regulatory laws that protects the natural resources in such a way that is beneficial for us that are currently alive and all. That's the textbook of resilient. And that's what I've known all my five. You know? So when I walk to school and don't have school bus, I know fully well I need to read harder than everybody in my class, you know, because I know that the knowledge I will get will articulate the way I think will help me be able to communicate to you who do not know my world very Webb, but you will now say, I can resonate with what Daniel is saying. He's he's dressed differently. He's definitely an African, but he's speaking a language that I can relate with. So it's what resilient does, it's what knowledge base does.Daniel Gbujie [00:33:27]:You're able to bring your experience as an African, relate it with those in the questions world, and create that bridge that is badly needed. Yes. It's the bridge that we're important. To develop ourselves.Stuart Webb [00:33:39]:Bridge is very important. Daniel, this has been a fascinating fascinating insight into the way you think, and it is an absolute demonstration of the reasons why you won that award as the leader of, of of note. You are you are obviously going a long way, and thank you so much for spending a few minutes talking to us. I really appreciate your insights On the message that we all need to learn to think about, as Daniel's just said, we might be worried about, whether or not we're we're emitting too much carbon. But today, in Africa, in Ethiopia, somebody's worried about whether or not their goats have got enough millet and remembering that we need to bring everybody together, I wanna thank you very much for spending some time with us. If you would like to get on to the newsletter, which will announce who we have coming up on future of these LinkedIn five and podcasts, please go to this link. That's link. Thecompleteapproach.co.ukforward/newsletter.Stuart Webb [00:34:44]:That's httpscolonforward/link.thecompleteapproach.co.ukforward/newsletter. Daniel, I can't thank you enough for spending a few minutes with us. I can't thank you enough for your contribution, and I can't do anything but wish you, that you take this learning these experiences and continue to drive them forward into what I know you're gonna make a huge success of how you take forward your sustainability goals. Thank you.Daniel Gbujie [00:35:15]:Thank you so much, Saf, for giving Africans like me the opportunity. This is what it means to be sustainable. This is what it means to be, your brother's keeper. This is how we build community. We use our platform to uplift others because in the long run, we are uplifting millions of more people. So I really am very appreciative. Again, I wanna thank you for all the comments for teaching the 50 of us who are participant, the 10 teams, you know, your contribution about improvement, advancement, you know, being realistic in real time, you know, all those things have taken them to heart, you know, and I'm looking forward to working with you, you know, learning more. It's a learning thing.Daniel Gbujie [00:35:55]:Nobody knows it all. You must continually evolve. Many people don't know that Facebook started as a campus, go to place. Now it's a marketplace. It's almost like a bank. You get paid on Facebook now. So what it means is that ideas evolve over time. It's never static.Daniel Gbujie [00:36:13]:And that's the same thing with sustainability. In the long run, you have to evolve but in such a way that you are very protective of the environment, the people, you bring everybody along in a transparent way. So I'm eternally grateful to Edmund and professor Lisa, and I'm commit completely committed to 2025. I hope to see more team participation, you know, in any way possible, you know, whether as a mentor, whether to advise people, whether as an emcee, you know, or whether even as a TV show because I see the sustainability World Cup 1 day becoming a TV show where you'll be a judge and then everybody will say, ah, that's the first judge in the show. So but the idea is that it's a wonderful opportunity. It's a good game that brings like minds together. When you leave the game, your life is never the same.Stuart Webb [00:37:03]:What more can I say? Daniel, thank you so much for spending some time with us. Thank you.

Is reaching A+ quality always the right answer? What happens when you consider factors that are part of the system, and not just the product in isolation? In this episode, Bill Bellows and Andrew Stotz discuss acceptability versus desirability in the quality realm. TRANSCRIPT 0:00:02.5 Andrew Stotz: My name is Andrew Stotz and I'll be your host as we continue our journey into the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Today, I'm continuing my discussion with Bill Bellows, who has spent 31 years helping people apply Dr. Deming's ideas to become aware of how their thinking is holding them back from their biggest opportunities. Today's episode, episode three, is Acceptability and Desirability. Bill, take it away.   0:00:28.1 Bill Bellows: Thank you, Andrew, and welcome back to our listeners.   0:00:30.7 AS: Oh, yeah.   0:00:31.4 BB: Hey, do you know how long we've been doing these podcasts?   0:00:36.6 AS: No.   0:00:40.8 BB: We started... Our very first podcast was Valentine's Day 2023. I was gonna say 2013. 2023, so roughly 17 months of podcast, Andrew.   0:00:53.4 AS: That was our first date, huh?   0:00:55.0 BB: Our first date was Valentine's Day 2023.   0:00:58.9 AS: All right. Don't tell your wife.   [laughter]   0:01:03.1 BB: All right. And so along the way, I've shared reflections from my first exposures to Dr. Deming, as well as my first exposures to Genichi Taguchi. Talked about Edward de Bono, Tom Johnson, others, mentors, Bill Cooper, Phil Monroe, Gipsie Ranney was a great mentor. Last week, Andrew, while on vacation in New England with my wife, I visited for a day my 85-year-old graduate school advisor who I worked with for ten years, Bob Mayle, who lives in, I would say, the farthest reaches of Maine, a place called Roque Bluffs. Roque Bluffs. How's that for... That could be North Dakota. Roque Bluffs. He's in what they call Down East Maine. He's recently got a flip phone. He's very proud. He's got like a Motorola 1985 vintage flip phone. Anyway, he's cool, he's cool. He's...   0:02:15.9 AS: I'm just looking at that place on the map, and looks incredible.   0:02:19.0 BB: Oh, yeah. He's uh, until he got the phone, he was off the grid. We correspond by letters. He's no internet, no email. And he has electricity, lives in about an 800 square-foot, one-floor bungalow with his wife. This is the third time we've visited him. Every time we go up, we spend one day getting there, one day driving home from where my in-laws live in New York. And then one day with him, and the day ends with going to the nearby fisherman's place. He buys us fresh lobster and we take care of them. [chuckle]   0:03:01.3 AS: Yeah, my sister lives in Kennebunk, so when I go back to the US, I'm...   0:03:08.8 BB: Yeah, Kennebunk is maybe 4 hours away on that same coast.   0:03:15.3 AS: I'm just looking at the guide and map book for Roque Bluffs' State Park, and it says, "a beautiful setting with oceanfront beach, freshwater pond, and hiking trails."   0:03:25.9 BB: Yeah, he's got 10 acres... No, he's got, I think, 20, 25 acres of property. Sadly, he's slowly going blind. He has macular degeneration. But, boy, for a guy who's slowly going blind, he and I went for a walk around his property for a couple hours, and it's around and around... He's holding branches from hitting me, I'm holding branches from hitting him and there's... Let alone the terrain going up and down, you gotta step up and over around the rocks and the pine needles and all. And it was great. It was great. The week before, we were close to Lake George, which is a 32-mile lake in Upstate New York. And what was neat was we went on a three-hour tour, boat ride. And on that lake, there are 30 some islands of various sizes, many of them owned by the state, a number of them owned privately. Within the first hour, we're going by and he points to the island on the left and he says it was purchased in the late '30s by Irving Langmuir. Yeah, so he says, "Irving Langmuir," and I thought, I know that name from Dr. Deming. That name is referenced in The New Economics.   0:04:49.1 BB: In fact, at the opening of Chapter Five of The New Economics, the title is 'Leadership.' Every chapter begins with a quote, right? Chapter Five quote is, "You cannot plan to make a discovery," so says Irving Langmuir. So what is... The guy's describing this island purchased back in the late '30s by Langmuir for like $5,000. I think it's... I don't know if he still owns it, if it's owned by a nonprofit. It's not developed. It's privately held. I'm trying, I wrote to Langmuir's grandson who did a documentary about him. He was a Nobel Prize-winning physicist from GE's R&D center in Schenectady, New York, which is a couple hours south of there. But I'm certain, and I was looking for it earlier, I know I heard of him, of Irving Langmuir through Dr. Deming. And I believe in his lectures, Deming talked about Langmuir's emphasis on having fun at work, having fun. And so I gotta go back and check on that, but I did some research after the day, and sure enough came across some old videos, black and white videos that Langmuir produced for a local television station, talking about his... There's like show and tell with him in the laboratory. And in there, he talks about joy and work and all that.   0:06:33.5 BB: So I'm thinking, that's pretty cool. So I'm waiting to hear from his grandson. And ideally, I can have a conversation with his grandson, introduce him to Kevin and talk about Deming's work and the connection. Who knows what comes out of that? Who knows? Maybe an interview opportunity with you and Irving Langmuir's grandson. So, anyway.   0:06:52.7 AS: Fantastic.   0:06:54.7 BB: But going back to what I mentioned earlier in my background in association with Deming and whatnot, and Taguchi, and I offer these comments to reinforce that while my interests in quality were initially all things Taguchi, and then largely Deming, and it wasn't long before I stopped, stepped back and an old friend from Rocketdyne 20 some years ago started focusing on thinking about thinking, which he later called InThinking. And it's what others would call awareness of our... Well, we called it... Rudy called it, better awareness of our thinking patterns, otherwise known as paradigms, mental models.  We just like the way of explaining it in terms of becoming more aware of our thinking patterns. And I say that because... And what I'm presenting relative to quality in this series, a whole lot of what I'm focusing on is thinking about thinking relative to quality.   0:07:58.8 BB: And so last time, we talked about the eight dimensions of quality from David Garvin, and one of them was acceptability. And that is this notion in quality, alive and well today, Phil Crosby has created this focus on achieving zero defects. Everything meets the requirements, that gets us into the realm, everything is good. Dr. Deming and his red bead experiments talked about red beads and white beads. The white beads is what we're striving for. All the beads are good. The red beads represent defects, things we don't want. And that's this... Thinking wise, that's a thinking pattern of "things are good or bad." Well, then we can have high quality, low quality and quality. But at Rocketdyne, when I started referring to that as category thinking, putting things into categories, but in the world of quality, there's only two categories, Andrew: good and bad. This either meets requirements or it doesn't. And if it's good, then we're allowed to pass it on to the next person. If we pass it on and it's not good, then they're going to send it back to us and say, "Uh-uh, you didn't meet all the requirements." And what I used to do in class, I would take something, a pen or something, and I would go to someone in the seminar and I'd say, "If I hand this to you and it doesn't meet requirements, what are you going to say?" You're gonna say, "I'm not going to take it. It hasn't met the requirements."   0:09:36.4 BB: And I would say you're right. All the I's are not dotted, all the T's are not crossed, I'm not taking it. Then I would take it back and I'd say, "Okay, now what if I go off and dot all those I's and cross all those T's?" Then I would hand them the pen or whatever the thing was, and I'd say, "If all those things have been met," now we're talking acceptability. "Now, what do you say?" I said, "Can you reject it?" "No." I say, "So what do you say now that all those things... If you're aware that all those requirements have been met, in the world of quality, it is as good, now what do you say?" And they look at me and they're like, "What do I say?" I say, "Now you say, thank you." But what I also do is one more time... And I would play this out to people, I'd say, "Okay, Andrew, one more time. I hand you the pen, Andrew, all the requirements are met. And what do you say?" And you say, "Thank you." And I say, "What else just happened when you took it?"   0:10:45.4 AS: You accepted it.   0:10:47.3 BB: Yes. And I say, "And what does that mean?" "I don't know. What does that mean?" I said, "It means if you call me the next day and say, I've got a problem with this, you know what I'm going to say, Andrew?"   0:10:58.5 AS: "You accepted it."   0:11:01.5 BB: Right. And so, what acceptability means is don't call me later and complain. [laughter] So, I get a photo of you accepting it, you're smiling. So if you call me back the next day and say, "I've got a problem with this," I'd say, "No, no, no." So acceptability as a mental model is this idea that once you accept it, there's no coming back. If you reveal to me issues with it later, I deny all that. I'd say, I don't know what your problem with Andrew... It must be a problem on your end, because what I delivered to you is good. And if it is good, then there can't be any problems associated with it. So, if there are problems, have to be on your end, because defect-free, everything good, implies, ain't no problems, ain't no issues with it. I'm thinking of that Disney song, trouble-free mentality, Hakuna Matata.   [chuckle]   0:12:04.5 BB: But now I go back to the title, Acceptability and Desirability. One of Dr. Deming's Ph.D. students, Kauro [actually, Kosaku] Yoshida, he used to teach at Cal State Dominguez Hills back in the '80s, and I think sometime in the '90s, he went to Japan. I don't know if he was born and raised in Japan, but he was one of Dr. Deming's Ph.D. students, I believe, at NYU. Anyway, I know he's a Ph.D. student of Dr. Deming, he would do guest lectures in Dr. Deming's four-day seminars in and around Los Angeles. And, Yoshida is known for this saying that Americans are all about acceptability meets requirements, and the Japanese are about desirability. And what is that? Well, it's more than meeting requirements. And, I wanna get into more detail on that in future episodes. But for now, we could say acceptability is meeting requirements. In a binary world, it can be really hard to think of, if everything's met requirements, how do I do better than that? How do I continue to improve if everything meets requirements?  Well, one clue, and I'll give a clue, is what I shared with the senior most ranking NASA executive responsible for quality.   0:13:46.4 BB: And this goes back to 2002 timeframe. And we had done some amazing things with desirability at Rocketdyne, which. is more than meeting requirements. And the Vice President of Quality at Rocketdyne knew this guy at NASA headquarters, and he says, "You should go show him what we're doing." So I called him up a week in advance of going out there. I had made the date, but I figured if I'm going to go all the way out there, a week in advance, I called him up just to make sure he knew I was coming. And he said something like, "What are we going to talk about?" He said something like, "We're going to talk about that Lean or Six Sigma stuff?" And I said, "No, more than that." And I think I described it as, we're going to challenge the model of interchangeable parts. And he's like, "Okay, so what does that mean?" So the explanation I gave him is I said, "What letter grade is required for everything that NASA purchases from any contractor? What letter grade is ostensibly in the contract? What letter grade? A, B, C, D. What letter grade is in the contract?" And he says, "Well, A+."   [laughter]   0:15:01.2 BB: And I said, "A+ is not the requirement." And he's like, "Well, what do you mean?" I said, "It's a pass-fail system." That's what acceptability is, Andrew. Acceptability is something is either good or bad, and if it's bad, you won't accept it. But if it's good, if I dot all the I's and cross all the T's, you will take it. It has met all the requirements. And that gets into what I talked about in the first podcast series of what I used to call the first question of quality management. Does this quality characteristic, does the thrust of this engine, does the roughness of this surface, does the diameter of this hole, does the pH of this bath meet requirements? And there's only two answers to that question, yes or no. And if yes is acceptable, and if no, that's unacceptable. And so I pointed out to him, much to his chagrin, is that the letter grade requirement is not A+, it's D- or better. [chuckle] And so as a preview of we'll get into in a future podcast, acceptability could be, acceptability is passing. And this guy was really shocked. I said, "Procurement at NASA is a pass-fail system."   0:16:21.9 BB: Every element of anything which is in that system purchased by NASA, everything in there today meets a set of requirements, is subject to a set of requirements which are met on a pass-fail basis. They're either, yes, it either meets requirements, acceptable, or not. That's NASA's, the quality system used by every NASA contractor I'm aware of. Boeing's advanced quality system is good parts and bad parts. Balls and strikes. And so again, for our viewers, acceptability is a pass-fail system. And what Yoshida... You can be thinking about what Yoshida's talked about, is Japanese companies. And again, I think it's foolish to think of all Japanese companies, but back in the '80s, that's really the way it came across, is all Japanese companies really have this figured out, and all American companies don't. I think that's naive. But nonetheless, what he's talking about is shifting from a pass-fail system, that's acceptability, to, let's say, letter grades of A's or B's. That would be more like desirability, is that it's not just passing, but an A grade or a B grade or a C grade. So that's, in round terms, a preview of Yoshida... A sense of, for this episode, of what I mean by acceptability and desirability.   0:17:54.7 BB: In the first podcast which was posted the other day, I made reference to, instead of achieving acceptability, now I can use that term, instead of achieving zero defects as the goal, in the world of acceptability, once we continuously improve and achieve acceptability, now everything is passing, not failing. This is in a world of what I refer to as category thinking, putting things in categories. In the world of black and white, black is one category, white is a category. You got two categories, good and bad. If everything meets requirements, how do you continuously improve if everything is good? Well, part of the challenge is realize that everything is good has variation in terms... Now we could talk about the not all letter grade A, and so we could focus on the things that are not A's and ask the question, is an A worthwhile or not? But what I was saying in the first podcast is my admiration for Dr. Deming's work uniquely... And Dr. Deming was inspired towards this end by Dr. Taguchi, and he gave great credit to that in Chapter Ten of The New Economics. And what I don't see in Lean nor Six Sigma, nor Lean/Six Sigma, nor Operational Excellence, what I don't see anywhere outside of Dr. Deming's work or Dr. Taguchi's work is anything in quality which is more than acceptability.   0:19:32.0 BB: It's all black and white. Again, Boeing's Advanced Quality System is good parts and bad parts. Now, again, I'm not suggesting that there's anything wrong with that. And I would also suggest in a Deming-based organization there may be characteristics for which all we need is that they're good. We don't need to know how good they are, we don't need to know the letter grade. And why is that? Because maybe it's not worth the trouble to discern more than that. And this is where I use the analogy of balls and strikes or kicking the ball into the net.  If you've got an open net... That's Euro Cup soccer. There's no reason to be precisely placing the ball. All you want to do is get it into the net. And that's an area of zero defects, maybe all that is worthwhile, but there could be other situations where I want the ball in a very particular location in the strike zone. That's more of this desirability sense. So I want to clarify for those who listened to the first podcast, is what I'm inferring is I'm not aware of any quality management system, any management system in which, inspired by Dr. Deming and Taguchi, we have the ability to ask the question, is acceptability all that is required?   0:20:55.7 BB: And it could be for a lot of what we do, acceptability is not a bad place to be. But I'm proposing that as a choice, that we've thought about it and said, "You know what? In this situation, it's not worth, economically, the extra effort. And so let's put the extra effort into the things where it really matters." And if it doesn't... So use desirability where it makes sense, use acceptability elsewhere. Right now, what I see going on in organizations unaware of Dr. Deming's work, again, Dr. Taguchi's work, is that they're really blindly focusing on acceptability. And I think what we're going to get into is, I think there's confusion in desirability. But again, I want to keep that for a later episode. Now, people will say, "Well, Bill, the Six Sigma people are about desirability." No, the Six Sigma people have found a new way to define acceptability. And I'll give you one other fun story. When I taught at Northwestern's Kellogg Business School back in the late '90s, and I would start these seminars off by saying, "We're going to look at quality management practices, past, present, future." And so one year, I said, "So what quality management practices are you aware of?" And again, these are students that have worked in industry for five or six years.   0:22:17.6 BB: They've worked at GM, they worked at General Electric, they worked for Coca Cola, banking. These are sharp, sharp people. But you got into the program having worked somewhere in the world, in industry, so they came in with experience. And so they would say, zero defect quality is a quality management practice. And I'd say, "Okay, so where'd that come from?" And again, this is the late '90s. They were aware of the term, zero defects. They didn't know it was Philip Crosby, who I learned yesterday was... His undergraduate degree is from a school of podiatry. I don't know if he was a podiatrist, but he had an undergraduate... A degree in podiatry, somebody pointed out to me. Okay, fine. But Philip Crosby, his big thing was pushing for zero defects. And you can go to the American Society for Quality website to learn more about him. Philip Crosby is the acceptability paradigm. So, students would bring him up and I'd say, "Okay, so what about present? What about present?" And somebody said, "Six Sigma Quality." So I said, "So what do you know about Six Sigma Quality?" And somebody said," Cpk's of 2.00." And I said, "So what's... " again, in a future episode, we could talk about Cpk's."   0:23:48.5 AS: But I said to the guy, "Well, what's the defect rate for Six Sigma... For Cpk's or Six Sigma Quality or Cpk's of 2?" And very matter of factly, he says, "3.4 defects per million." So I said, "How does that compare to Phil Crosby's quality goal from 1962? Here we are, 1997, and he's talking about Motorola and Six Sigma Quality, a defect goal of 3.4 defects per million. And I said, "How does that compare to Phil Crosby's quality goal of zero defects in 1962?" And the guy says... [chuckle] So cool, he says, "Well, maybe zero is not worth achieving." 'Cause again, zero was the goal in 1962. Six Sigma sets the goal for 3.4 per million. Not zero, 3.4, to which this guy says... And I thought it was so cool, he says, "Well, maybe zero is not worth achieving." So, there. Well, my response was, "Well, what makes 3.4 the magic number for every process in every company around the world? So, what about that?" To which the response was crickets. But what I want to point out is we're still talking about zero... I mean 3.4 is like striving towards zero and admitting some. It is another way of looking at acceptability. It is... And again, and people claim it's really about desirability. I think, well, there's some confusion in desirability and my hope in this episode is to clear up some of that misunderstanding in acceptability as well as in desirability. And they... Let me just throw that out.   0:25:58.1 AS: Yeah, there's two things that I want to say, and the first one is what he should have replied is, for those older people listening or viewing that can remember the movie, Mr. Mom with Michael Keaton, I think it was. And he should have replied, "220, 221, whatever it takes." And he should have said, "Well, yeah, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6. It's could be around there."   0:26:27.5 BB: Well, the other thing is, why we're on that is... And I think this is... I'm really glad you brought that up, is, what I would push back on the Lean and the Six Sigma, those striving for zero defects or Cpk's of 2 or whatever they are is, how much money are we going to spend to achieve a Cpk of 2, a zero defects? And again, what I said and... Well, actually, when I posted on LinkedIn yesterday, "I'm okay with a quality goal of 3.4 defects per million." What I'm proposing is, instead of blindly saying zero defects is the goal and stop, or I want Cpk's of 1.33 or whatever they are everywhere in the organization, in terms of the economics of variation or the new economics, is how much money are we going to spend to achieve zero or 3.4 or whatever it is? And, is it worth the return on the investment? And this is where Dr. Taguchi's loss function comes in.   0:27:49.2 BB: And so what I'm proposing, inspired by Genichi Taguchi and W. Edwards Deming is, let's be thinking more about what is... Let's not blindly stop at zero, but if we choose to stop at zero, it's an economic choice that it's not worth the money at this time in comparison to other things we could be working on to improve this quality characteristic and that we've chosen to be here... Because what I don't want people to think is what Dr. Deming and Taguchi are talking about is we can spend any amount of money to achieve any quality goal without thinking of the consequences, nor thinking about, how does this goal on this thing in isolation, not make things bad elsewhere. So we have to be thinking about a quality goal, whether it's worth achieving and will that achievement be in concert with other goals and what we're doing there? That's what I'd like people thinking about as a result of this podcast tonight.   0:28:56.0 AS: And I think I have a good way of wrapping this up, and that is going back to Dr. Deming's first of his 14 Points, which is, create constancy of purpose towards improvement of product and service with the aim to become competitive, to stay in business, and to provide jobs. And I think that what that... I link that to what you're saying with the idea that we're trying to improve our products and services constantly. We're not trying to improve one process. And also, to become competitive in the market means we're improving the right things because we will become more competitive if we are hitting what the client wants and appreciates. And so... Yeah.   0:29:46.3 BB: But with regard to... Absolutely with regard to our customers, absolutely with regard to how it affects different aspects of our company, that we don't get head over heels in one aspect of our company and lose elsewhere, that we don't deliver A+ products to the customer in a losing way, meaning that the A+ is great for you, but financially, we can't afford currently... Now, again, there may be a moment where it's worthwhile to achieve the A... We know we can achieve the A+, but we may not know how to do it financially. We may have the technology to achieve that number. Now, we have to figure out, is, how can we do it in an economically advantaged way, not just for you, the customer, but for us. Otherwise, we're losing money by delivering desirability. So it's gotta work for us, for you, but it's also understanding how that improvement... That improvement of that product within your overall system might not be worthwhile to your customer, in which case we're providing a... The classic...   0:31:18.8 AS: You're not becoming competitive then.   0:31:21.8 BB: The better buggy whip. But that gets into looking at things as a system. And this is... What's invaluable is, all of this is covered with a grasp of the System of Profound Knowledge. The challenge is not to look at goals in isolation. And even I've seen people at Lean conferences quote Dr. Deming and his constancy of purpose and I thought, well, you can have a... A non-Deming company has a constancy of purpose. [chuckle]  The only question is, what is the purpose? [laughter] And that's when I thought, a constancy of purpose on a focus on acceptability is good provided all of your competitors are likewise focusing on acceptability. So I just be... I just am fascinated to find people taking Deming's 14 Points one at a time, out of context, and just saying, "Well, Dr. Deming said this." Well, there we go again. [laughter]   0:32:29.9 AS: Bill, on behalf of everyone at The Deming Institute, I want to thank you again for this discussion. For listeners, remember to go to deming.org to continue your journey. If you want to keep in touch with Bill, just find him on LinkedIn. This is your host, Andrew Stotz. And I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Deming, "People are entitled to joy in work."

Hakuna Matata means “no worries,” and back in the mid-90s, Disney's The Lion King didn't have a worry in the world. A massive box office smash, the animated coming-of-age musical would go on to win 2 of its 4 Oscar nominations and surface a hit Elton John sung soundtrack. But now, 30 years later, maybe there was cause to worry. Is a talking-animal Hamlet too heavy for a G-rated audience? Is the brother-murdering Scar too evil of a villain? And why does no one seem a bit concerned with Simba's grief, guilt or mental health over his trampled-to-death dad?

The animated film "The Lion King" (1994) tells the story of a young lion named Simba, who is preparing to become the king of the African savanna. Сюжет начинается с рождения Симбы, сына короля Муфасы и королевы Сараби. The plot begins with the birth of Simba, the son of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi. Муфаса учит Симбу о круге жизни и обязанностях короля. Mufasa teaches Simba about the circle of life and the responsibilities of being a king. Однако, дядя Симбы, Шрам, завидует Муфасе и планирует захватить трон. However, Simba's uncle, Scar, is jealous of Mufasa and plans to seize the throne. Шрам устраивает ловушку, в результате которой Муфаса погибает, спасая Симбу. Scar sets a trap, resulting in Mufasa's death while saving Simba. Шрам убеждает Симбу, что он виновен в смерти отца, и Симба убегает из королевства. Scar convinces Simba that he is responsible for his father's death, and Simba flees the kingdom. Симба встречает Тимона и Пумбу, суриката и бородавочника, которые становятся его друзьями и учат его философии "Хакуна Матата" (беззаботная жизнь). Simba meets Timon and Pumbaa, a meerkat and a warthog, who become his friends and teach him the philosophy of "Hakuna Matata" (no worries). Симба вырастает вдали от своих обязанностей, но однажды встречает свою подругу детства Налу, которая убеждает его вернуться и спасти королевство от тирании Шрама. Simba grows up away from his responsibilities, but one day he meets his childhood friend Nala, who convinces him to return and save the kingdom from Scar's tyranny. Симба возвращается в Прайд-Ленд и сталкивается с Шрамом. Simba returns to the Pride Lands and confronts Scar. В битве за трон, Симба побеждает Шрама, который в конечном итоге погибает. In the battle for the throne, Simba defeats Scar, who ultimately dies. Симба становится новым королем и восстанавливает мир и гармонию в королевстве. Simba becomes the new king and restores peace and harmony to the kingdom. Мультфильм заканчивается тем, что Симба и Нала представляют своего новорожденного львенка животным королевства, продолжая круг жизни. The film ends with Simba and Nala presenting their newborn cub to the animals of the kingdom, continuing the circle of life. *** Slow Russian Podcast Transcript and audio download for $20 – https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/courses/slowrussian  Join my free email course with A LOT of useful materials for self-learning – http://realrussianclub.com/subscribe  My premium step-by-step course for Russian language learners – https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/ Get all three levels together and save $102 – https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/bundles/all-of-from-zero-to-fluency  UNDERSTANDING RUSSIA (new cultural course, no knowledge of Russian language required)–  https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/courses/understanding-russia
