Send us a textNiccolo Machiavelli is often held up as the paradigmatic political philosopher of the Italian Renaissance. But as James Hankins argued in an earlier book, Virtue Politics, Machiavelli in fact repudiates the framework common to many of the humanists of the Renaissance. Machiavelli is an outlier. Who then can replace him as the Renaissance's paradigmatic political philosopher? In his new book, Political Meritocracy in Renaissance Italy, Hankins proposes the little-known Francesco Patrizi, friend and protege of Pope Pius II, as Machiavelli's replacement. Hankins joins the show to make his case for Patrizi as emblematic of Renaissance political philosophy and to explain some aspects of Patrizi's life and thought.James Hankins's Political Meritocracy in Renaissance Italy: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780674274709James Hankins's Virtue Politics: https://amzn.to/4d0f0buAdrian Wooldridge's Aristocracy of Talent: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9781510775558The Patrizi Project: https://patrizisiena.hsites.harvard.edu/Nate Fischer's Meritocracy Must Not Be Our Goal: https://americanmind.org/salvo/meritocracy-must-not-be-our-goal/James Hankins and Allen Guelzo's The Golden Thread: https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Thread-Ancient-World-Christendom/dp/1641773995New Humanists is brought to you by the Ancient Language Institute: https://ancientlanguage.com/Links may have referral codes, which earn us a commission at no additional cost to you.

In this talk at Living Well at the End of a World, James Hankins draws parallels between our contemporary anxieties about civilizational decline and the late medieval Renaissance period, specifically the 14th and 15th centuries, which also faced profound institutional crises. He highlights the humanist movement, spearheaded by Petrarch, as a historical response that sought societal reform by fostering virtue and wisdom in leaders through a renewed emphasis on classical learning. Hankins argues that the Renaissance represented a radical re-centering of civilization, advocating for a meritocratic leadership grounded in moral excellence and a commitment to community welfare.The Morningside Institute hosted a two-day conference on April 4–5, 2025. On its first day, the conference examined some of the radical changes that Western societies are undergoing. On the second day, we explored in greater detail historical examples of how communities have navigated periods of intense cultural change and even devastation.

John Hankins is a licensed social worker and Certified Financial Therapist™ with decades of experience spanning social work, IT, and nonprofit leadership. After a long career in the business world, John returned to his passion for helping others by specializing in financial therapy and coaching for middle-aged and older adults. His unique approach blends clinical expertise, real-world financial management, and deep empathy, helping clients understand and transform their relationship with money. John's mission is to empower people to align their finances with their values, reduce money-related stress, and build a more fulfilling future. On this episode we talk about: – What it means to have a “relationship with money” and why it matters – How childhood experiences and cultural beliefs shape our money mindset – The three pillars of money mindset: thoughts, feelings, and actions – Why values—not just goals—should drive your financial decisions – Real-life stories of clients overcoming money stress and self-sabotage – The importance of normalizing conversations about money – How financial therapy differs from traditional financial planning Top 3 Takeaways Your beliefs and emotions about money—often formed in childhood—can unconsciously drive your financial decisions and success. Addressing these root issues is foundational to making sustainable changes. True financial well-being comes from aligning your money habits with your core values, not just chasing higher income or bigger goals. Open, judgment-free conversations about money are essential. Many people carry money stress for years simply because they feel unable to talk about it—even with those closest to them. Notable Quotes “We have kind of three things that we can do as human beings: thoughts, feelings, and actions. When you start to examine those around money, you'll probably uncover things that are holding you back.” “You might be holding yourself back from making the money you say you want because your beliefs and actions aren't aligned.” “Many people carry money stress for decades without ever having a real conversation about it with anyone. Sometimes, just talking is the first step to relief.” Connect with John Hankins: http://financial-therapy.me/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

With sign-stealing scandals shaking Major League Baseball, the game needed a solution. Enter PitchCom, the cutting-edge communication technology that's changing the way baseball is played.In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with John Hankins, co-inventor and owner of PitchCom, to unpack the surprising origins of the technology (it was inspired by John's stage mentalism experience!), the innovative and unhackable tech that comprises the PitchCom system, and why it has completely changed the game of baseball. Beyond baseball, PitchCom is a case study in applied technology—how engineering, wireless communication, encryption, and even sound design can be used in unexpected ways. The lesson for educators? What your students learn in the technical education classroom—electronics, software, mechanics, and problem-solving—can lead to groundbreaking inventions in any arena.Listen to learn:How stage mentalism, sound engineering, and encryption tech came together to create PitchComHow PitchCom reduced wild pitches to the lowest levels in MLB history and sped up game play by cutting down time lost to sign-callingWhy PitchCom's encryption is so secure that it's mathematically impossible for teams to hack—more secure than the number of atoms in the universeHow engineering students can apply their skills in creative industries—from sports tech to entertainment and beyondWhy college baseball, the Canadian Football League, and even scuba diving are exploring this technologyWhat future inventors need to know about turning ideas into patented, market-ready productsIf you teach technical education or have students interested in technology, this episode is a must-listen. The next big innovation could come from your classroom!3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Innovation thrives in times of urgency and challenge.PitchCom wasn't just a cool idea—it was a solution to a crisis in baseball.

Great inventions don't start with ideas—they start with problems.2. True innovation comes from blending different disciplines.John's background as an engineer, patent attorney, and stage mentalist gave him a unique perspective on communication and encryption. Whether it's combining sports and tech, or magic and engineering, the biggest breakthroughs come from crossing industry boundaries and thinking outside traditional silos.3. Data is the future of every industry.PitchCom started as a tool to prevent sign-stealing, but now it's unlocking new levels of player performance data—tracking pitch accuracy, command, and strategy in real time. From sports to manufacturing to education, those who understand and leverage real-time data insights will lead the future.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about PitchCom's technology, visit: pitchcom.comWe want to hear from you!
