Podcasts about Hawkins

Jessica Young joins us for a #VIDtober deep cut as we discuss the espionage/thriller/romantic comedy, 1986's KEEPING TRACK.  This movie stars Margo Kidder (SUPERMAN, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR) as Claire, a lady banker thrust into a world of genetically modified computer chips and government conspiracies when all she really wants to do is sell trains.  You know, as all bankers do.  Claire is forced to partner up with Hawkins, an overworked reporter from Action News.  Hawkins, played by Michael Sarrazin (THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY?), is the kind of reporter who finds the craziest stories.  They're so crazy that nobody believes him.  So, it should come as no surprise that Claire and Hawkins find themselves in the most unbelievable of situations.  We do our best to make sense of the plot in KEEPING TRACK.  That said, you shouldn't feel bad for not, well, keeping track.  Jessica helps us decipher the nuances of her native Canada where KEEPING track was shot.  We discuss the benefits of living above a bar/restaurant, differences between US and Canadian trains (although, we're not sure there is any difference) and the proper way disguise yourself when the CIA, FBI, RCMP, and the Canadian Government all want you dead. We introduce a new element to the podcast, "Point Counterpoint".  We're still working out the kinks.  While there is no "lube talk" in this episode, some of the hosts have a visceral response to needing to read "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud" in grade school.  Enjoy.

This week we talk about Electronic Arts, 3DO, and the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund.We also discuss Jared Kushner, leveraged buyouts, and loot boxes.Recommended Book: Bandwidth by Dan CarusoTranscriptElectronic Arts, often shorthanded as EA, was founded in 1982 in California by a former Apple employee named Trip Hawkins, who also went on to found the ill-fated 3DO company, which made video game hardware, and the somewhat more prolific, but also ultimately ill-fated casual game developer Digital Chocolate.EA, though, has been an absolutely astounding success. It's business model was predicated on the premise of selling video games directly to retailers, rather than going through intermediaries. This allowed them to gain more market share than their competitors right off the bat, and it helped them glean higher margins than their competitors from each direct sale, too.EA also established an early reputation for treating its developers really well. They were the first gaming company to feature their developers in advertising and to give them platforms, promoting them as video game artists, basically, and it shared the profits netted from those direct sales with these develops—which in turn meant all the best developers really wanted to work for EA, which led to a beneficial cycle where they created better and better, and more and more financially successful games.In the late-80s, they started deviating from this model somewhat, scooping up a collection of successful independent game development studios and deviating, at times, from the creative lead's vision when releasing their games. They also refocused a fair bit of their resources on franchises, like the immensely successful, as it turned out, Madden NFL series, and they branched out into producing games for the console market, including the still-new Nintendo Entertainment System, in 1990.That same year, EA went public on the NASDAQ, the company got new leadership when Hawkins decided to refocus on his far less successful 3DO hardware startup, and in an interesting twist, the arrival of the Sony Playstation in North America caused EA to drop support for 3DO hardware in the mid-90s so it could refocus on Playstation games, which were a lot more lucrative.By the mid-90s, EA had an astonishingly large and successful software library, including franchises like the aforementioned Madden games and the FIFA soccer games, but also celebrity-tied games like Shaq Fu, and military shooters like Jungle and Urban Strike.By the early-2000s, EA was making exclusive licensing deals with the NFL and ESPN, in order to stave off newfound sports game competitors, and it was the only video game company to consistently make a profit, most others experiencing feast and famine cycles, with periodic wins, but a whole lot of losses they had to cover with the profits from those wins. EA, in contrast, had a reliable stable of profit-sources, and it thus had a whole lot of leverage in terms of attracting and retaining talent, but also getting big names and brands on board, for collaborative projects.What I'd like to talk about today is what happened to EA during and following the 2008 economic crisis, and how and why it recently became an acquisition target for Saudi Arabia.—In 2008, when the global economy was collapsing, EA suffered a bad holiday sales season and fired 1,100 employees and closed 12 of their facilities early the following year. Later in 2009, the company announced the firing of another 1,500 employees, which was about 17% of their total workforce at the time, and in 2010 they acquired a gaming company that focused on mobile games, which were becoming increasingly popular, now that many people had touch-capable smartphones, which brought hot new franchises like Angry Birds under their brand umbrella.On the strength of that acquisition and all those downsizings, in early 2011, EA announced that it hit $3.8 billion in revenue in the financial year for the first time, and in early 2012, it announced it surpassed $1 billion in digital revenue during the previous year, which was a huge figure that early in the digital media landscape. It used some of those profits to scoop up another mobile-first gaming company, adding properties like Plants vs Zombies and Peggle to their library.EA completed another mass-firing in 2013, dismissing 10% of their employees under what they called a reorganization, around the same time they announced an exclusive license with Disney that would allow them to develop Star Wars games.Their stock value boomed in the following years, as a result of those cost-savings measures, and those new relationships, and emboldened by record-high stock valuations, in the mid-20-teens, the company started releasing big-name games, like Star Wars Battlefront 2, with random-content loot boxes and other sorts of microtransactions.This did not go over well with players, who decried these in-game purchasing options as ‘pay to win' mechanics, as players could pay more money to get better characters and equipment, and a lot of the content, even after paying for the expensive games, was still locked behind paywalls, requiring more payments to unlock that content. A bunch of gaming journalists cried foul on this shift as the game careened toward its full release, as did a whole lot of early players, and Disney complained, too, so by the time it hit shelves, the game's loot system was substantially changed, but that whole controversy spooked investors, and led to an 8.5% stock value drop in just a single month, knocking $3.1 billion from the company's valuation. As a result of that controversy, EA also became the face for a larger legal and legislative debate about in-game purchases and how it's kinda sorta like gambling, from that point forward.Soon after, EA experienced a series of bad quarters, including a huge drop of 13.3% to its valuation when a major entry in one of their larger franchises, Battlefield V, was released late, and received very mixed reviews when it was released, which led to a million fewer sold copies than anticipated. The game was also lagging in terms of gameplay behind smaller, nimbler competitors, including then-burgeoning Fortnite.The company saw an overall boost with the surprise success of Apex Legends, and the COVID-19 pandemic boosted sales dramatically for a while, since everyone was staying home, which allowed EA to gobble up a few more competing companies with successful franchises, and they knocked out a few more successful Star Wars games, as well.In early 2021, Saudi Arabia's public investment funds bought 7.4 million shares of EA for about $1.1 billion, which flew under the radar for most gamers, but that'll be important in a moment.Later that year, the company experienced a massive hack, a lot of its data, including the source code for games, stolen and sold on the dark web. EA bought some more competitors, but word on the street in 2022 was the the higher ups at EA were quietly shopping the company around, themselves looking to be acquired by a larger entity, on the scale of Apple or Disney.In early 2023, the company announced more mass-layoffs and launched another internal reorganization. It gutted several of its most popular gaming sub-brands, including BioWare, it cancelled an upcoming Star Wars game, and it announced that it would be shifting away from licensing agreements and refocusing on EA-owned IP.The pattern of layoffs leading to better financial fortunes didn't pay off this time, though. In early 2025, EA divulged that it expected to underperform in the coming year, several of its big-name titles not doing as well as expected; the company cast blame on the market, but players and journalists pointed at the company's gutting of its big-name studios, and the firing of many of its veteran developers to explain the reduced sales.EA had another mass-firing in April of this year, and followed by another in May, which paralleled an announcement that they would no longer be moving forward with a big, planned Black Panther game.In late September of 2025, EA announced that it had reached a deal, worth $55 billion, to go private, no longer selling shares on the stock market, with the financial assistance of a group of investors, which included Affinity Partners, which is led by Jared Kushner, US President Trump's son-in-law, Silver Lake, which is a US-based private equity firm that helps make these sorts of big sales happen, and the aforementioned Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund.This deal isn't done yet, it still needs to get regulatory approval and a successful vote by stockholders, but it seems likely to go through, since the US regulatory environment is pretty lax at the moment, and because Kushner is involved, it's unlikely President Trump will take a personal disliking to it.But the big story here seems to be that Saudi Arabia is buying up not just a video game company, but one of the biggest and most successful video gaming companies in the world, which, although it's lost a lot of fan-credibility over the years, still owns some massively influential intellectual property and has just a stunning number of relationships and connections throughout the media world, alongside its huge valuation.If the sale does go through, and we should know for sure by sometime around June 2026, it would be the largest-ever leveraged buyout, which means the purchase was completed by using borrowed money that was borrowed against the asset being purchased; so those investors have taken out debt against EA itself, which is an increasingly common means of buying a large asset on the cheap, but it also typically burdens that asset with a simply astounding amount of debt which must then be recouped, often by selling off undervalued assets.When this happens to a newspaper, for instance, the buyer will often sell off the paper's real estate and fire all their employees, to make money and pay off that debt, and in this case, there's a chance that debt will be paid by throwing up a bunch of new paywalls and really leaning into those in-game transactions that nobody really liked, including politicians, back in the day, but which in this current regulatory environment would probably be allowed, and they would probably make some serious bank off of it initially, before players started getting wise and moving on to other games released by less predatory companies.The really interesting facet of this story, though, is the question of why Saudi Arabia wants a video game company.And to understand that, it's important to understand that, first, the country's Public Investment Fund is meant to help its economy shift away from purely extractive resources, like oil, and it has thus invested in all sorts of things, including luxury beach resorts, minority stakes in financial service companies like Citigroup, stakes in companies like Disney and Boeing and Meta, and increasingly, investments in companies run by allies of President Trump, like the aforementioned Affinity Partners, which was formed by Jared Kushner.So this is an economic play, but also a political play, almost certainly, by the Saudis, to get in good with the people who are in good with the US government.It's also been alleged that this might be an attempt by the Saudis to engage in what's being called game-washing, which is similar to greenwashing, but instead of trying to make a company seem green and sustainable by doing kinda sorta green things, but only as a veneer to cover up the opposite, in this case it means using sports and video games and the like to increase a nation's reputation with humanistic seeming things, despite, well, the truth being much more complicated.Just as when the Fund participated in buying a Premier League football, a soccer team, back in 2021, then, alongside their concomitant establishment of LIV Gold, a golf league meant to compete with the PGA, this investment in EA, and other investments it's made in video game companies like Capcom and Nexon, might be part of a larger effort to diversify the nation's brand, not just its economics. It's human rights record is abysmal, and it's possible they're trying to cover that up, make people forget about it, by creating more connections between Saudi Arabia and more positive things, like sports and games and the like.There are additional concerns about this purchase of EA, too, by the way, because Saudi Arabia's cultural values are very anti-woman, anti-LGBTQ, and anti-liberal, democratic values. So there are fears that we might see less representation and fewer what we might call western values portrayed in the games released by these studios, as a result of this ownership.The folks running EA have said their core values will remain unchanged by the buyout, but it's expected, bare-minimum, that this will lead to another several restructurings and mass-layoffs throughout the company in the coming years, to help recoup all that debt, at the end of which even the people making those promises might be long gone.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Investment_Fundhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/business/dealbook/electronic-arts-buyout-jared-kushner.htmlhttps://www.wsj.com/business/deals/ea-private-deal-buyout-video-game-maker-808aefechttps://www.ft.com/content/61cef75e-ceba-43ee-80e3-040756c6154f?accessToken=zwAGQAMTiJKIkc9hzvdezrpD7tOA4wQHVsYVTw.MEUCIHND3WOT4rS4frIMIOoeXHQeil_Ma1yGrwOqUD2m306DAiEAtA_QLvpyObai9zoo_9GZSljJuJyTKxJgFHpQDcCcVsE&sharetype=gift&token=03dd6ca5-c34f-4925-8a3d-a89f4058ee80https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/ea-silver-lake-deal-jared-kushner-c145cd55?st=eZghQHhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Arts This is a public episode.

On this day in Tudor history, 7 October 1589, the bells of Deptford tolled for William Hawkins: merchant, sea captain, three-time mayor of Plymouth, and the steadier, quieter elder of the famous Hawkins brothers. Buried at St Nicholas's, his monument is lost, but his impact isn't. In this episode, I trace how Hawkins turned Plymouth into a launchpad for Elizabethan sea power: From Brazil voyages with his father to a Plymouth shipowner and civic powerhouse Privateering in the Channel during the 1557–58 war and pushing London for reprisals after San Juan de Ulúa Building Plymouth's infrastructure (new water conduit, weighhouse, grain transport) and securing Hawkins' Quay Leading a bold 1582–83 venture via Cape Verde to the Caribbean (Margarita, Puerto Rico) Backing, and benefiting from, ventures tied to the 1560s transatlantic slave trade Helping marshal seven Plymouth ships against the Spanish Armada in 1588 Not a household name like Drake or John Hawkins, William was the engineer of capacity - the quay-master, quartermaster, and mayor who kept ships, money, and men moving when England needed them most. Had you heard of this Hawkins before today?

Before the written word — and possibly even before speech — humans have communicated through drawing. From crude scratches in the dirt or on cave walls to the arcane symbology of the laboratory whiteboard, our instinct for conveying our thoughts visually is pretty extraordinary. We see or understand something in the world, we build an idea in our mind of what we think we see, and then using our hand and the utensil we re-create it to communicate the share our perception with others. Along the way, we add in our own understanding and experience to craft that communication in ways that might not correspond with a specific object in the world at all.How we do this — and how we can learn to be better visual communicators — is at the heart of our conversation with Judy Fan, who runs the Cognitive Tools Lab in Stanford University's Department of Psychology.We've been nominated for a 2025 Signal Award for Best Science & Education Podcast!

Send us a textIn this episode of Soulful Self-Care Conversations, Pearl sits down with Emily Hawkins, fractional COO and creator of LeaderShift, to talk about what really steals joy from small business owners—and how to get it back.After 15 years of saving corporate giants millions, Emily now helps small business owners simplify operations, maximize profits, and fall back in love with their businesses. She shares how leaders unintentionally rob their teams of joy, why “death by five minutes” is killing productivity, and how clarity and curiosity can transform both business and life.If you've ever felt buried in busywork, frustrated by team dynamics, or disconnected from the reason you started your business in the first place, this conversation will help you reset.What You'll Learn in This Episode✨ Little Emily's story – why a childhood declaration of “I don't want a job” became the foundation for building a balanced life and business. ✨ Robbing your team of joy – how taking on every “quick” task kills your own joy and prevents your team from living their purpose. ✨ Death by five minutes – why constantly saying “I'll just do it” sabotages growth. ✨ Comfort vs. security blanket – how familiar tasks can become suffocating if you never let go. ✨ Hourly worth – how to reframe your time in terms of revenue responsibility, not tasks. ✨ Dream employee list – why 15 minutes of quiet clarity before you hire can change everything. ✨ Onboarding for success – how a 90-day plan can either turn new hires into rock stars or help you gracefully let the wrong fit go. ✨ Rediscovering joy – how clients who let go of control end up golfing more, traveling with their spouse, and making more money.Quotes to Remember“Right now, you are robbing your team of joy.” – Emily Hawkins“Tasks become a security blanket. But hold it too tight and you'll suffocate.” – Emily Hawkins“Good help isn't hard to find—it's hard to define. Start with your dream employee list.” – Emily Hawkins“You don't need another you in your business. You need someone different.” – Emily HawkinsResources & Links

On this day in Tudor history, 23 September 1568, a tense “harbour truce” at San Juan de Ulúa (Veracruz) exploded into close-quarters battle. Spanish warships surged in; cannon roared; John Hawkins and his young kinsman Francis Drake barely escaped with the Minion and Judith as the flagship Jesus of Lübeck was wrecked. Many English sailors were captured, some facing the Inquisition. I'm Claire Ridgway. In this episode, I unpack the ambush that hardened English attitudes, reshaped the navy, and helped set the course toward the Spanish Armada, including the uncomfortable truth that Hawkins's ventures were tied to the transatlantic slave trade, central to both profit and Spanish fury. What you'll learn: Why Hawkins sought shelter at San Juan de Ulúa, and the “safe-conduct” deal that failed The battle itself: ship list, tactics, and how Drake cut free Two empires, two narratives: “treachery” vs “piracy” Long consequences: Hawkins's navy reforms and the rise of race-built galleons How Ulúa forged the mindset behind later Elizabethan raids and 1588 If this “On This Day” deep dive gripped you, please like, subscribe, and tell me in the comments: Treachery or piracy, how do you read Ulúa? #OnThisDay #TudorHistory #SanJuanDeUlua #JohnHawkins #FrancisDrake #SpanishArmada #NavalHistory #EarlyEmpire

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop speaks with Samuel, host of The Remnant Podcast, about the intersections of biblical prophecy, Gnostic traditions, transhumanism, and the spiritual battle unfolding in our age. The conversation moves from Dr. David Hawkins' teachings and personal encounters with the Holy Spirit to questions of Lucifer, Archons, and the distortions of occult traditions, while also confronting timelines of 2025, 2030, and 2045 in light of technological agendas from Palantir, Neuralink, and the United Nations. Together they explore the tension between organic human life and the merging with machines, weaving in figures like Blavatsky, Steiner, and Barbara Marx Hubbard, and tying it back to cycles of history, prophecy, and the remnant who remain faithful. You can find Samuel's work on The Remnant Podcast YouTube channel and follow future updates through his Instagram once it's launched.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop welcomes Samuel of The Remnant Podcast, connecting through Dr. David Hawkins' work and reflecting on COVID's effect on consciousness.05:00 Samuel shares his discovery of Hawkins, a powerful encounter with Jesus, and shifting views on Lucifer, Gnosticism, Archons, and Rudolf Steiner's Ahriman.10:00 They trace Gnosticism's suppression in church history, Frances Yates on occult revival, the Nicene Creed, Neoplatonism, and the church's battle with magic.15:00 Discussion of Acts 4, possessions, Holy Spirit, and Gnostic inversion of God and Lucifer; Blavatsky, Crowley, occult distortions, and forbidden knowledge in Enoch.20:00 Hawkins' framework, naivety at higher states, Jesus as North Star, synchronicities, and the law of attraction as both biblical truth and sorcery.25:00 Transhumanism, homo spiritus, Singularity University, Barbara Marx Hubbard, hijacked timelines, Neuralink, and Butlerian Jihad.30:00 Attractor patterns, algorithms mimicking consciousness, Starlink's omnipresence, singularity timelines—2025, 2030, 2045—and UN, WEF agendas.35:00 Organic health versus pod apartments and smart cities, Greg Braden's critiques, bio-digital convergence, and the biblical remnant who remain faithful.40:00 Trump, MAGA as magician, Marina Abramović, Osiris rituals in inaugurations, Antichrist archetypes, and elite esoteric influences.50:00 Edward Bernays, Rockefeller, UN history, Enlightenment elites, Nephilim bloodlines, Dead Sea Scrolls on sons of light and darkness, Facebook's control systems.55:00 Quantum dots using human energy, D-Wave quantum computers, Gordy Rose's tsunami warning, Samuel's book As It Was in the Days of Noah: The Rising Tsunami.Key InsightsThe episode begins with Stewart Alsop and Samuel connecting through their shared study of Dr. David Hawkins, whose work profoundly influenced both men. Samuel describes his path from Hawkins' teachings into a life-altering encounter with Jesus, which reshaped his spiritual compass and allowed him to question parts of Hawkins' framework that once seemed untouchable. This shift also opened his eyes to the living presence of Christ as a North Star in discerning truth.A central thread is the nature of Lucifer and the entities described in Gnostic, biblical, and esoteric traditions. Samuel wrestles with the reality of Lucifer not just as ego, but as a non-human force tied to Archons, Yaldabaoth, and Ahriman. This leads to the recognition that many leaders openly revere such figures, pointing to a deeper spiritual battle beyond mere metaphor.The discussion examines the suppression and resurgence of Gnosticism. Stewart references Frances Yates' historical research on the rediscovery of Neoplatonism during the Renaissance, which fused with Christianity and influenced the scientific method. Yet, both men note the distortions and dangers within occult systems, where truth often hides alongside demonic inversions.Samuel emphasizes the importance of discernment, contrasting authentic spiritual awakening with the false light of occultism and New Age thought. He draws on the Book of Enoch's account of fallen angels imparting forbidden knowledge, showing how truth can be weaponized when separated from God. The law of attraction, he argues, exemplifies this duality: biblical when rooted in faith, sorcery when used to “become one's own god.”Transhumanism emerges as a major concern, framed as a counterfeit path to evolution. They compare Hawkins' idea of homo spiritus with Barbara Marx Hubbard's transhumanist vision and Elon Musk's Neuralink. Samuel warns of “hijacked timelines” where natural spiritual gifts like telepathy are replaced with machine-based imitations, echoing the warnings of Dune's Butlerian Jihad.Technology is interpreted through a spiritual lens, with algorithms mimicking attractor patterns, social media shaping reality, and Starlink rendering the internet omnipresent. Samuel identifies this as Lucifer's attempt to counterfeit God's attributes, creating a synthetic omniscience that pulls humanity away from organic life and into controlled systems.Finally, the conversation grounds in hope through the biblical concept of the remnant. Samuel explains that while elites pursue timelines toward 2025, 2030, and 2045 with occult enlightenment and digital convergence, those who remain faithful to God, connected to nature, and rooted in Christ form the remnant. This small, organic community represents survival in a time when most will unknowingly merge with the machine, fulfilling the ancient struggle between the sons of light and the sons of darkness.
