Podcast appearances and mentions of Henry Ford

In this episode, Dinesh articulates the five separate reasons the media and the Left are so eager to get off the story of the Waukesha massacre.  Dinesh compares the penalty given to a violent Antifa thug with those given to nonviolent January 6 protesters. Dinesh wonders if Jussie Smollett's trial will reveal his best acting performance yet. Dinesh invokes the contrasting attitudes of Woodrow Wilson and Henry Ford over the future of cars to illustrate the difference between the capitalist and progressive outlooks.

I freaking love podcasts. I love them. I subscribe to way too many to keep up with, I'm always on the lookout for new ones, and in January 2020, I got back into podcasting myself after 10 years focusing on historical fiction. Did I mention I love podcasts? Here's the cool thing: this week's guest hosts one of my very favorite podcasts! Alie Ward is an Emmy Award-winning science communicator. She's a writer, producer, and correspondent on too many dang shows to list (but I will, in the show notes!)  But her passion project is her comedic science show Ologies, named one of Time Magazine's top 50 podcasts! It was so fun to geek out with Alie about podcasting. In this episode, we talk releasing perfectionism; west coast vs east coast podcasts; strategic Chardonnay at an Emmy Awards after party; why failure isn't to be feared; finding your authentic voice; and so much more. Alie is a Daytime Emmy Award-winning science correspondent for CBS's "The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation with Mo Rocca,” and host of “Did I Mention Invention?” on the CW. She acts as a consulting producer on Netflix's “Ada Twist, Scientist,” produced by Michelle and Barack Obama-helmed Higher Ground. She has also recently consulted on their series “Waffles & Mochi,” as well as shows for HBO Max and Amazon Studios.

Henry Ford said "If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself." In this episode of the Aviation Business Podcast, let us revisit some old adages that are relevant today.  

Many people think our hunter-gatherer ancestors lived short and miserable lives. In fact, that's what most anthropologists thought. Until the 1960s, when they looked more closely at how foragers got by. The way foragers “worked” can tell us a lot about the way we, as creators, work. Farming gets a lot of output with little effort No one can be exactly sure when a human first planted a seed to grow food, but this one act was one of the most revolutionary in human history – up there with the invention of fire, or the internet. The agricultural revolution meant humans no longer needed to roam around, searching for food. But, with the innovation of agriculture came some trade-offs. We had to wait for our crops to grow, so we had to stay in one place. But staying in one place didn't work out-of-the-box everywhere. As anthropologist James Suzman points out in his book, Work: A Deep History, from the Stone Age to the Age of Robots, the first successful cities sprouted up in floodplains. These areas flooded regularly, and that refreshed the nutrients in the soil, which was a must for successful farming, as crop-rotation hadn't yet been invented. Which brings us to another drawback of farming. Yes, farming gets you a lot of food with little effort, but eventually your once-fertile soil runs out of nutrients. Creative “farming” grows ideas into finished products As creatives, it's useful for us to “farm.” Plant seeds of ideas. Give them water, sunlight, and fertile soil, and eventually you'll have a crop of creative products to harvest. I talked in my book, Mind Management, Not Time Management, about “creative systems.” Cultivating ideas takes time. By working with the cycles of your energy to do short bursts of work, and letting incubation do the rest, you can always have creative products to ship. (I talked specifically about my creative system for Love Mondays newsletters on episode 260.) Creative farming is a great way to consistently turn ideas into finished products. But foraging is where you get the ideas in the first place. Foraging is more effective than you think In the 1960s, anthropologist Richard Borshay Lee lived with a hunter-gatherer tribe in the Kalahari desert. He carefully tracked what they spent time on, and what they got out of it. Lee found these tribes met all their needs for food in just fifteen hours work a week. They consumed well over the daily recommended intake of 2,000 calories, and they did it all without farming. They did it by foraging. Fifteen hours a week to get everything you need. That sounds appealing to many of us. Fifteen hours a week is ironically the number of hours economist John Maynard Keynes once predicted we in the industrial world would work. In 1930, in the midst of the Great Depression, Keynes had the guts to predict that by 2030, we would at least quadruple our productivity. As a result, he said, we would work only fifteen hours a week. But foraging doesn't lead to progress We reached that quadruple-productivity mark way back in 1980. But we still work way more than fifteen hours a week. Why? We can make philosophical arguments about the hedonic treadmill, and how we buy too much junk. But one thing is for sure: We want to see “progress.” These hunter gatherer tribes, who have sadly been all but completely driven off their foraging land by the industrial world, did lead rich lives. They worked for what they needed, they had plenty of leisure time, and everything they did was deeply integrated with their families and communities. But they didn't have running water, electricity, or modern medicine. Many lived as long as anyone in the civilized world – if they reached adulthood. But they had a high infant-mortality rate, which pushed down the average lifespan. They didn't have what we consider “progress.” They didn't wonder if their children would live in a world with human flight, space exploration, or the internet. Each generation's life was essentially the same as the previous. Creatives need to forage As creatives, we can't just farm. We need to “forage,” too. We need to wander around, follow our curiosities, and see what surprises we can find. The hunter-gatherers of the Kalahari lived in such a rich ecosystem, they could always feel confident they could find something to eat if they went and looked for it. But as a creator, happening upon a feast is less common. It's not every day a song comes to us in our sleep, like it did when Paul McCartney wrote “Yesterday.” Or that a happy accident occurs, like when Charles Goodyear spilled chemicals and developed vulcanized rubber. This is why you need to farm what you forage. Forage, then farm, to have great ideas, then make them real Farming what you forage isn't just a good way to do creative work. If you want to be consistent, it's the only way. This is hard to see, because we're working in a world that's a relic of the assembly line. Doctors, lawyers, accountants, and software developers, themselves, are produced on assembly lines. They follow curricula. They take exams. These exams have bubbles they fill out, so a machine can read them – as long as they're filled out with a number-two pencil. But, like farming, these professions grow stale, like soil being sapped of nutrients. The curricula have to change, as do the exams. But those curricula don't change from farming over and over. Someone has to farm what they forage, to change the field. Remember from episode 266 that for Henry Ford to put workers on the assembly line, he had to first farm what he foraged. It took a lot of experimentation and tinkering – from Model A to Model S, in addition to the work he did in two previous failed car companies – before the Model T was ready to be produced en masse. But the soil eventually got sapped of its nutrients. While Ford refused to change the Model T until sales dwindled, other car companies were farming what they foraged – innovating to build better cars. We're not used to farming what we forage. It's not how work has gotten done in recent history. But as automation and AI threaten more and more jobs, we're freed from the drudgery of just farming. We need to forage, too. I talked in episode 250 about how I farm what I forage with my digital Zettelkasten (that article has since expanded into a successful book by the same name). To forage, I explore what interests me – reading books, listening to podcasts, and having conversations. To farm, I take notes, then categorize and connect them. These seeds of ideas grow over time, until I'm ready to harvest them. An idea can grow into a tweet, then a newsletter, then a podcast episode, maybe eventually even a book. Farming = clock time; Foraging = event time Farming and foraging call for different ways of thinking about time, too. In episode 235, I talked about the difference between “clock time,” and “event time.” Clock time's most recent roots come from Frederick Taylor's scientific management. Breaking actions down to split seconds was a big departure for farmers who moved to cities to work in industry. But farming, too, was a likely predecessor of clock time. Foragers could usually be confident that if they were hungry, they could find something to eat. When you live in a diverse ecosystem, if one thing is not doing so well, something else is. In fact, when Richard Borshay Lee was studying foragers, there was a drought. The nearby farmers couldn't grow crops. To survive, they had to rely on outside food aid. The tribe he was studying did not. They got by on foods they had found in the wild. When you're farming, you can't count on finding food whenever you're hungry. You have to grow it. So, you have to think carefully about time. If you don't plant your seeds, pull weeds, or water crops today, you'll be hungry a long time from now. This is probably one reason cultures close to the equator tend to think more about the present, whereas cultures in climates with changing seasons think more about the future. When surviving tomorrow depends upon what you do today, you think ahead. If you focus too much on farming, you'll always be on clock time. If you keep planting the same seeds and growing the same crops, your soil will become sterile. If you focus too much on foraging, you'll always be on event time. If you only rely on what you find in the wild, you'll always be living hand-to-mouth. You'll be waiting a long time between one idea and the next, and you'll struggle to develop them into finished products. Find a seed with potential, then plant it To farm what you forage, make space to wander. Follow your curiosity, even when it feels as if it will take you nowhere. But when you find something interesting that might have potential, plant the seed. Build creative systems that help you keep ideas growing, without sapping your soil. If you do those two things, you'll never have famines, and always have feasts.

Even though I rant on, and on, and on about finding "motivated-sellers" all the time. Plus preach, if you talk to enough new sellers, sooner or later you will find a seller that doesn't say "NO" to anything you want to do! The deal will eventually elevate to having some sort of deal structuring, and having spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours doing seminars and teaching how I do this, today is different ... in this podcast I am going to strip down exactly what is going threw my mind while looking at a deal, and trying to structure it so everyone involved wins! And, believe it or not, one of my coaching students brought it to light. So I decided to do this podcast on the simple way that I look at deals, and spit out offers like Henry Ford's assembly line back in the day. In fact, if this one podcast doesn't hit you in the forehead like a slug hammer, I may have to give up my teaching career. Only because I don't believe I can make it any simpler for you. So let's dig in ...

Roy Sharples discusses his book "Creativity Without Frontiers" and ways to boost and leverage your creativity. Roy has researched what makes the creative mind tick and how highly-successful innovators like Andrew Carnegie, Walt Disney, Henry Ford, and Steve Jobs leverage their creative nature for huge success. How can you do it too? Listen for three action items you can use today. Host, Kevin Craine Do you want to be a guest?

Eccentric businessman Carl G. Fisher was full of ideas, like flying an automobile attached to a hot air balloon and bargaining with Henry Ford over a pigpen at the Michigan State Fair. Hear the tale about how one of his grandiose ideas inspired Dwight D. Eisenhower to sign the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act into law nearly 40 years later.

Do you surround yourself with dream squashers or are you surrounded by individuals who listen to your dreams for your business and urge you to pursue them? Do you think big for your business? Do you look at where your business stands today and think, “this is good enough” or “what if I try something new and it upsets the successes I've attained?” Do you give yourself enough credit to allow yourself to dream big? Remember, not every big dream has to come to fruition of a “mission accomplished.” But, every big dream may have a kernel of an action step that will help you think outside the proverbial box and could potentially spark a new idea to do something you're currently doing better, faster, or at a higher level of income producing effect? How Can Big Thinking Grow Your Business? Take a moment and ask yourself: What is your dream for your business? Do you want to be the next Amazon or Uber? Do you want to be the biggest XYZ firm in your city or part of the country? Are you looking to take your business nationwide or worldwide? Do you even allow yourself to have those big dreams? Many business owners, when asked, “What is the big dream for your business this year” will say: 1. I'd like to bring in an additional $1,000 a month. 2. I'd like to grow by 10% in clients and income. 3. I'd like to outsource some of my tasks. 4. I'll be happy to maintain the status quo. 5. I hadn't even thought of a big dream… I'm just trying to maintain my current level. This is what I call “expectation” thinking. You expect to stay where you are and that thinking leads to your getting exactly what you expected. What if you allowed yourself the audacity to say, “I'd like to grow my income by $5,000 a month” or “I want to exceed last year's sales by 50%”. What's stopping you? Is it because you're afraid to think big? What do you think would have happened if Henry Ford hadn't thought big? Would we have had automobiles? Every successful business started out as a small idea that was pushed to higher levels by an entrepreneur who thought big. Big, audacious goals don't have to become setbacks if you didn't achieve a 50% higher sales revenue. If you shot for 50% and achieved 30% isn't that a big win? It's certainly a bigger win than a 10% increase. Although if you'd considered a 10% increase you would likely have met that, but would it feel as good as aiming for 50% and attaining 30%? Probably not! How can you become a big thinker in your business? 1. Ask bigger questions. When you think big, you aim higher. When you think big you push yourself out of your comfort zone and take a chance. It's exhilarating to take that leap. Ask yourself, “What would life and my business look like if I grew the business by 40, 50 or even 60% this year?” There is no harm in asking those bigger questions. In fact, the answer to “what would it look like” may be the motivating factor in your pursuing that big goal. 2. Network with like-minded big thinkers. If you surround yourself with entrepreneurs who are always asking, “what if” you may pick up their energy and start asking your own business “what ifs.” If you surround yourself with people who are happy to go with the path their business is on and not take a detour, you will likely be pulled down that complacent path. Involve yourself with big thinkers and you will feel more comfortable announcing your big goal! Find a mastermind group of big thinkers to help you, might be an option. 3. Find out where other big thinkers got their start. Did mega-companies like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, or Uber start out as successes? What is the backstory – the origin story for those businesses? When you know the humble beginnings of mega companies, you may find the inspiration to think bigger yourself. If those company owners hadn't been big thinkers and pushed their businesses toward large goals, they wouldn't be companies we would have heard of, right? Don't let yourself get mired in the past. If you'd tried something in the past and it didn't work, let it go. Pull that information out and ask yourself what went wrong, how you could change that today, and what experiences do you have now that you didn't then that can help? A past “failure” is simply an experiment that didn't pan out. Don't let a fear of failure stop you from thinking big. Ask yourself, “Don't you want more?” If that question makes you uncomfortable or makes you shout, “yes!” Then get started today on your next big idea! Consider these six ideas you can implement today to help you think bigger. 1. Ask bigger questions. 2. Network with other big thinkers. 3. Find big thinking experiences and join in. 4. Look at origin stories for other big thinkers. 5. Don't discard or toss out any idea, no matter how audacious it seems. From that huge, big thought may come your next spark of an idea that will grow your business! 6. Ask staff for ideas they might have to accelerate your business growth. When you're putting your big idea into practice, don't forget to plan for the infrastructure your business might need to support this big idea when it comes to fruition. Write down your income goals. Write down your goals for hiring new team members. Get a picture in your mind of what your life would look like when you achieved that big thinking goal. Don't put it off any longer.

Working 40 hours has been accepted as the "standard work week" since Henry Ford implemented it almost 100 years ago. What would happen if we focused more on the outcomes that we wanted from our labor, instead of focusing on the time it takes to accomplish them? Could we learn to work less and do more? Our guest today is Joe Sanok, host of the popular The Practice of the Practice, the #1 Podcast for counselors in private practice and one of the top 50 podcasts worldwide! Joe has gone from working as a full time physiologist to teaching others how to structure their practice in a way that will increase ROI and reduce time spent working. Joe's also is the author of Thursday Is the New Friday: How to Work Fewer Hours, Make More Money, and Spend Time Doing What You Want. Today, Joe shares his story; from working at a Community College, to building a strong and profitable side practice that made more than his full time job. Learning how to leverage his gifts helped Joe make the journey to becoming a thought leader, starting a podcast, and helping others think differently about mental health in the workplace. In addition, Joe is helping counselors in private practice build their business and their brands. We discuss how to effectively use your time, why you should find clients that are the right fit for you, and ways to outsource the things you are not good at. It's possible to build healthy teams by asking the right questions! Finally, we wrap up by discussing Joe's book Thursday Is the New Friday, which offers exercise, tools, and training to help people create the work schedule they want — and the results they need: less work and greater income! Three Key Takeaways: Thought Leaders can accomplish more by outsourcing less important tasks, or things they are not good at, in order to focus on important matters. By specializing your thought leadership, you can be a more effective help to your clients and outpace your competition.  It's easier to convince clients to buy into your Thought Leadership when you can clearly explain the way your fee will save the client time and increase their ROI.  

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. Henry Ford. To change, it may feel like you're driving on the wrong side of the road. It all made sense. I began to understand how the brain changes and that to learn something new will often feel you're going against everything you believed to be true. Like learning to drive on the wrong side of the road. It takes time and persistence, but in the end, you will get there Part of the change process is learning how to drive on the supposedly wrong side of the road to which you usually do so. The priority of your feelings are to be safe and comfortable, but the divine priority for your life is to risk and grow. Which will it be? David Riddell   Read this further here FOLLOW ME!

In August 2020, I told listeners that Tesla was a stock that would be a strong performer. And, has it ever--shares of TSLA are up about 1400% since then.  Nonetheless, shares of Tesla became quite volatile this week amid news that Elon Musk was selling a portion of his stock. On Friday we learned he was selling not just his $5 billion stake from earlier in the week but an additional $687 millions. The reality is -- Elon Musk may still sell even more. After all, he promised his Twitter users in a tweet that he'd sell 10% of his stake. But, does that mean we should sell too?  Let's just say: I am reluctant to bet against such an innovative company like Tesla. Its potential, with Musk in the driver's seat (pun intended) is limitless. Although Rivian is the new darling of Wall Street, I'd say it's pretty nice to own a piece of the company that has already proven itself. In this episode of my Trish Regan Show podcast, I take a look at investing in the Electric Vehicle sector as a whole -- and believe me, there are some interesting comparisons with history going all the way back to Henry Ford and the Model T. Plus, why is this stock market rally making everyone so nervous? Do we really think the Fed will make a drastic move? The CIO of Morgan Stanely, Lisa Shalett, is telling clients she is "concerned that Fed policy is divorced from fundamentals." Is she right? Probably. Nonetheless, realists know that these markets are still going higher but remain vulnerable to a pullback. This is why diversification is critical. Diversify, diversify, diversify I already say. And, in this show, I have some ideas on how you can do that.  Join me here and get more online at https://TrishIntel.com Support the show: https://trishregan.store/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I particularly enjoy that he focuses on both the founder's positive and negative characteristics as a way of highlighting things to mimic and avoid.”“I just paid for my first premium podcast subscription for Founders podcast. Learning from those who came before us is one of the highest value ways to invest time. David does his homework and exponentially improves my efficiency by focusing on the most valuable lessons.”“I haven't found a better return on my time and money than your podcast for inspiration and time-tested wisdom to help me on my journey.“I've now listened to every episode.

Dr. Bell talks about his new book “Suspended: Punishment, Violence, and the Failure of School Safety." And Michigan artist and filmmaker Andy Kirshner talks about his new film "10 Questions for Henry Ford."

On this ID the Future from the vault, Casey Luskin highlights a glaring logical error in the pro-evolution book The Language of Science and Faith by Francis Collins and Karl Giberson. There Collins and Giberson assert that macroevolution is merely microevolution over long ages, and to cinch their argument they point to the observed macroevolution of … birds? No. Whales? No. A new land mammal? A fundamentally new type of bacteria? No again, and understandably so since no one has observed the macroevolution of any biological form. The idea is conjectural. So what example do Collins and Giberson offer? The evolution of automobiles from the Model T to the Toyota Prius hybrid. But as Luskin notes, such an evolutionary path illustrates Read More › Source

Conversations with Drs. John Heiss, Ellen Air, and Clemens Schirmer

Recently I visited dear friends who are now living in an Assisted Leisure Living Center. Before I left, one of them quoted words from Shakespeare, and another told me about her voice activated computer who gave her information about the purple hat. She shared these thoughts with me and I would like to share them with the readers of this warm thoughts weekly column. The Purple Hat. Age three: She looks at herself and sees a queen. Age eight: She looks at herself and sees Cinderella. Age fifteen: She looks at herself and sees an ugly sister. "Mom, I can't go to school looking like this." Age twenty: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly," but decides she's going out anyway. Age thirty: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly," but she decides she doesn't have time to fix it so she's going out anyway. Age forty: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly," then says, "at least I am clean" and goes out anyway. Age fifty: She looks at herself and says "I am" and goes wherever she wants to go. Age sixty: She looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't even see themselves and she goes out to conquer the world. Age seventy: She looks at herself and sees wisdom, laughter, and ability and she goes out and enjoys life. Age eighty: She doesn't bother to look, just puts on a purple hat and goes out to have fun with the world. Maybe we should all grab that purple hat earlier.

Americans come to Brazil. Henry Ford had a vision of an American utopia on foreign soil. And no one was going to stop him from realizing that ambition. This is the story of how Ford took a plot of land in Brazil, built a town, and gave it his name -- and the complete disaster that followed. Fordlandia was more than just a fiasco for the Ford Motor Company or Henry Ford himself. Fordlandia stands as one of the largest, yet most ambitious, failures of the early American auto industry. What became of the Brazilian town Henry Ford saw as the future of American industry? This is RCR Stories: Fordlandia.

This is very similar to one of my other favorite quotes by Henry Ford: "Whether you think you can't or think you can, you're right." I include this one because it specifically references the power of story, which is actually the title of Sports Psychologist Jim Loehr's book (The Power of Story). Always remember, people would rather hear a story than a fact. Don't believe me? Walk around a bookstore and see how much shelf-space is devoted to fiction verses non-fiction.

My “fan”tastic conversation with Jesse Cole We discussed 10 Ideas a Day, which I first learned about from James Altucher. Jesse mentioned Seth Godin's quote on What is Remarkable? “Something worth talking about." Jesse mentioned a quote by Henry Ford about faster horses. Jesse was excited about the 2022 Banana Ball World Tour. I hope to make it to a game. I mentioned having my legal team read “Delivering Happiness” by Tony Hsieh Jesse talked about dropping shipping charges and building fans by reducing “friction points”. I had an amazing experience ordering a t-shirt from the Savannah Bananas. (Check out social media for more about this). Jesse mentioned Jeff Bezos being terrified of his customers. Jesse also mentioned the history of Grayson Stadium Jesse favorite moments included the Breakdancing First Base Coach and the player introducing himself. Jesse wrote Find Your Yellow Tux but doesn't want to tell you to buy it. He is currently reading The Long Game by Dorie Clark and Blitzscaling by Reid Hoffman to juxtapose two competing ideas. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/corporatethought/support

Del 4. Vid förra sekelskiftet var elbilar vanligare än bilar med förbränningsmotor. I många städer var det just elbilar som ersatte hästdroskorna och särskilt som taxibilar var de populära. Sedan kom T-forden. Och om Henry Ford hade valt att satsa på de elmotorer som han faktiskt experimenterade med, ja då hade kanske förbränningsmotorn blivit en kuriös sak från förra sekelskiftet som vi nu fick gå till museer för att påminna oss om. Mike Ward på transportmuseet i Alford i Skottland och många andra menar nämligen att just T-forden, världens första masstillverkade bil, avgjorde saken till bensinmotorernas fördel. Därför kom 1900-talets frihetssymbol nummer ett, personbilen, att lukta bensin och diesel. Men är det hela sanningen, och varför blev det som det blev?

Henry Ford summed it up well, ‘Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you are right.” In this podcast I explain why this is so true with our horses. Our thoughts change the way our cues feel to our horses. I share an example where the only thing I changed was my thoughts…and it drastically changed the outcome. If you ever have these thoughts: “I should be better than this by now.” “I'm not good enough.” “I can't do this.” this episode is for you!

It's easy to lose track of leadership skills when your company gets busy and complex. Due to the busyness, you lose track of the roots. This is not a new problem. Henry Ford was well aware of this issue. If you've never heard of Henry Ford, he was a businessman, inventor & renaissance man. In his autobiography, he shared an amazing insight that dealt with how to manage a large group of people. His insight will truly blow you away & change how you lead others. In today's episode, I share what that insight was.

On October 10th, 1901 – 120 years ago, almost to the day – the grandstand was full at the horse track in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. But not to see horses. There was a parade of more than 100 of these new things called automobiles, and several other events, including races of automobiles with electric engines and with steam engines. But the main event was a race of gasoline automobiles. By the time the event took place, it didn't look like it would be much of a race. There had originally been twenty-five contestants. Only three made it to the starting post, then just before the race, one broke down and had to withdraw. So there were just two cars, driven by the men who had built them. One was the country's most famous car manufacturer. The other, was a local. A failed car manufacturer, named Henry Ford. At the time of this race, the most famous car-maker in America was Alexander Winton. He had made and sold hundreds of cars. He had gotten tons of press driving from Cleveland to New York. At the time of this race, Henry Ford was a failed car-maker. He had made and sold a handful of automobiles, but his first car company had failed. It was clear who was going to win this race: Moments prior, Alexander Winton had set the world record for the fastest mile traveled in an automobile, going around the dirt track in a little more than a minute and twelve seconds. Winton's car was seventy horsepower. Ford's was twenty-six. He had never taken it on a turn, and it didn't have brakes. The race was supposed to be twenty-five laps, but just before the event, the organizers shortened it to ten. According to Richard Snow, author of I Invented the Modern Age: The Rise of Henry Ford, they probably didn't want to see the local loser lapped over and over. This race was more of a sprint. The Foundation Effect Has this ever happened to you? You pass by a construction site for months, and there's nothing going on. There's just a wall with a project logo, peppered with graffiti. Then one day, there's a six-story building frame there. Now, each time you pass, it's gotten taller. There was no visible progress for months, then there was rapid progress. You saw what I call “The Foundation Effect.” The Foundation Effect is the delay in your progress, as you build your foundation. You have false starts and failures, and it looks as if you're going nowhere. But once you have your foundation built, you progress rapidly. Back to the races Henry Ford, the failed carmaker, won the sprint. But it wasn't until much later he also won the marathon. Eight years after that race, Henry's Ford Motor Company released a car that changed everything. It was durable enough to make it over rough country roads, lined with horse-drawn-wagon tracks. It was versatile enough farmers could use the engine to run a wheat thresher or move hay bales down a conveyer belt. It was twice as good as any car out there, at half the price. The first year, they sold 10,000. The second year, 20,000. A few years after that, they sold almost 200,000. By the time the “Model T” went out of production nearly twenty years after introduction, the Ford Motor Company had sold nearly 15 million. More than half of all cars in the world were Fords. Meanwhile, Alexander Winton's company kept building custom cars, made-to-order. He just couldn't compete with Ford's Model T, and had to shut down. Despite having over 100 patents on automobile technology, few today have ever heard of Alexander Winton. You need a foundation How did Henry Ford create such an incredible car, that sold in such incredible quantities? He built a rock-solid foundation. Over and over, he rejected the mere illusion of progress to scrap everything and start over. As a creator, you may feel as if you're getting nowhere. You're starting projects, but not finishing them. The ones you do finish are failing. You're throwing iterations in the fire, like Radclyffe Hall. From recent episodes, you know creative waste is part of the process. You're building the underwater part of your iceberg, so some future masterpiece will be that much better. But you're also building your foundation. The foundation of a building holds it in place. Even when the building sways in the wind or shakes in an earthquake, the foundation is there to bare the stress. Architects and engineers can design a foundation using knowledge about the laws of physics. Many buildings have been built before, so there's a lot of collective experience to draw from. You, as a creator, need to build your foundation from scratch. It's what makes your work unique. As a creator, your foundation is made of the change you want your work to make, the medium through which you'll make that change, and the process you'll follow to make your product. These things take time to develop. It will look as if you're getting nowhere, but once they're in place – like a skyscraper once the foundation is laid – your progress will be rapid. How to build your foundation To build your foundation, you need to clarify your vision and master your execution, so you won't topple over. Here are some ways to do that. 1. Keep shipping This seems counterintuitive, because when a skyscraper goes up, they only build one building. They aren't putting up a few stories, scrapping it, and starting over. The reason they can build a foundation to support the skyscraper is, millions of other buildings have been built before that skyscraper. Architects and engineers can design a strong foundation because they have tons of data. You need to collect tons of data about your unique way of doing things. How do you get it done? How do people react? Does it express your unique point of view? What is that point of view? Overall, how do you make what only you can make? Henry Ford's hit car was the Model “T.” Why was it called the Model T? Because he had already built the Model S, the Model R, Q, P, O – you get the idea. He started with Model A. It took until Model T to build the foundation for stratospheric success. The way you build your foundation as a creator is to keep shipping. Remember, shipping is a skill. And each time you ship, you make your foundation stronger. 2. Don't just build. Experiment. It's funny that when most people think of Henry Ford, they think of the assembly line. A bunch of guys on a line, each doing one tiny job, such as placing a nut on a bolt, or merely turning the nut on the bolt. But for Ford to create those tasks, he first had to design the product that could be broken down into those tasks. Ford treated each car he designed and built as an experiment. He made them as good as he could, but knew they couldn't be perfect. They were going to break down, or have annoying maintenance requirements that needed to be improved. We can design buildings that don't collapse because other buildings have failed. Ford made new and better cars because his cars failed. That's how he improved the transmission, lubrication, and spark plugs. That's how he found a steel alloy that would be lightweight and strong – and countless other improvements to the design and manufacture of his cars. And that's how, even as he improved the Model T, he kept making it cheaper. When he introduced it in 1909, it was $825. Sixteen years later, inflation be dammed, it was only $260. 3. Walk away from failures (guilt-free) Henry Ford wasn't afraid to quit. Yes, he went from Model A to Model T, but that was in his third car company. He had one failed company before the race, and after he won that race, he gained enough notoriety to attract investors for a second car company. But he walked away from that company, too – only four months later. By the way, Ford went from A to T, and not all those cars were introduced to the public. Many were internal experiments that he walked away from – or, if you will, iterations thrown in the fire, like Radclyffe Hall's drafts. 4. Have a vision You can't walk away from failures for no reason. You can't learn from experiments if you don't know what you're looking for. You need a vision. You don't have a crystal-clear vision from the start. That's why you're doing all that shipping and experimenting and quitting in the first place. Why did Henry Ford walk away from the car company he started after the race? It wasn't going to help him carry out his vision. Ford had a vision to create an affordable automobile for the masses. His investors, on the other hand, wanted to build high-end cars for the wealthy. The company wasn't a foundation that was going to help Ford achieve his vision, so he stepped back, to build a foundation that would. Keep building your foundation If you're frustrated with your progress as a creator, maybe it's because you're still working on your foundation. If you're scrapping iterations and walking away from half-finished, and failed, projects, make sure it's in the pursuit of a vision. If it is, keep learning, until you get it right. Once your foundation is in place, the sky is the limit.

Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right.”   Today on the podcast we explore the power of our thoughts. We all have automatic negative thoughts (or ANTS) and our ANTS can seem very real. We want to notice our ANTS and take a step back to diminish their power. You shouldn't believe everything you think because your brain's purpose is to keep you safe, watching for negativity.   Power Phrase this Week: “I level up my thoughts to level up my life.”

During the roaring twenties, two of the most revered and influential men in American business proposed to transform one of the country's poorest regions into a dream technological metropolis, a shining paradise of small farms, giant factories, and sparkling laboratories. Henry Ford and Thomas Edison's “Detroit of the South” would be ten times the size of Manhattan, powered by renewable energy, and free of air pollution. And it would reshape American society, introducing mass commuting by car, use a new kind of currency called “energy dollars,” and have the added benefit (from Ford and Edison's view) of crippling the growth of socialism.New cities – St. Petersburg; Ankara; Nev-Sehir; Cancún; Acapulco; Huatulco; Norilsk; Vladivostok; Fritz Lang's MetropolisThe whole audacious scheme almost came off, with Southerners rallying to support what became known as the Ford Plan. But while some saw it as a way to conjure the future and reinvent the South, others saw it as one of the biggest land swindles of all time. They were all true.To tell the story of this audacious plan is Thomas Hager, author of the new book “Electric City: The Lost History of Ford and Edison's American Utopia. He offers a fresh look at the lives of the two men who almost saw the project to fruition, the forces that came to oppose them, and what rose in its stead: a new kind of public corporation called the Tennessee Valley Authority, one of the greatest achievements of the New Deal.
