Could a career in retail actually be the perfect launchpad for a thriving career in real estate? It might sound surprising, but the skills you build in retail, like reading people, earning trust quickly, and delivering top-tier customer service, are exactly what you need to succeed in real estate, especially at the luxury level. Too often, we assume that switching industries means starting over. But what if your background is your competitive advantage? Renee Jadan's journey proves just that.

While “Studebaker” is rarely the first name one thinks of when discussing motorsports, the company had a strong yet brief presence at the Indianapolis 500 in the early 1930s. Studebaker laid the groundwork with the introduction of the President's inline eight-cylinder engine in early 1928. The advent of the Indianapolis 500's 1930 rule changes opened the door for production-based entries, and the President's rugged eight powered a pair of private entries. These Studebaker-engined specials showed promise and led to the development of Studebaker's corporate team. This program will detail the origins and evolution of Studebaker-powered racers beginning in 1930 with a special emphasis on the company's factory-backed campaigns in 1932 and 1933. Additional focus will also be placed on the technical development of the Studebaker racers as well as the post-Studebaker disposition of the team cars and their present-day status. Sources include Studebaker's corporate archives and image collection at the Studebaker National Museum plus period publications and race accounts. Additional data is drawn from secondary sources profiling the Studebaker team plus owner research compiled during their stewardship of the cars.

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

It was a straightforward yet ingenious machine, embodying Ford's vision of simplicity and functionality. Ford built the vehicle on a lightweight steel frame powered by a two-cylinder, four-horsepower gasoline engine. This engine was a marvel of its time, featuring a design that would lay the groundwork for future automotive engineering. It had a belt-driven transmission with only two forward gears and no reverse, which was typical of the era's experimental vehicles. The Quadricycle's first journey took place on the cobblestone streets of Detroit, covering approximately three miles. The vehicle managed to reach a top speed of about 20 miles per hour, an impressive feat for its time. Despite the rough ride and the unpaved roads, Ford's invention performed admirably. The test drive was a success, and it proved to Ford and his supporters that gasoline-powered vehicles were a viable alternative to horse-drawn carriages. The Quadricycle itself, though primitive by modern standards, represented a quantum leap in automotive technology. It was a crucial step in the evolution of the automobile, showcasing the feasibility of internal combustion engines and highlighting the importance of innovative thinking and persistence. Ford's test drive on June 4, 1896, was not just a personal triumph but a significant turning point in the quest for practical and accessible personal transportation. Today, the Ford Quadricycle is celebrated as a historic artifact and a symbol of innovation. It is preserved and displayed at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, where it continues to inspire new generations of engineers and inventors. The legacy of that early morning test drive lives on, a testament to the power of perseverance and the transformative impact of technological advancements.

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

This week on Inside Julia's Kitchen, Todd Schulkin welcomes Laura Rafaty, the Executive Director at the Napa Valley Museum Yountville, and Cynthia Jones, the Director of Museum Experiences, Exhibitions and Engagement at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. They discuss Julia Child: A Recipe for Life, a new touring exhibition devoted to Julia's life, career and influence that opens May 20 at The Henry Ford Museum.

Today, I'll be having a conversation with Ken Barber Ken is a lettering artist, type designer, author, and educator. For 30 years, he's made distinctive logos for global brands and created dozens of fonts. He blames his obsession with letterforms on Don Martin comics, Santa Cruz skateboard graphics, and speed metal logos. Ken's work has been featured in a few fancy museums, including the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. He's an instructor at The Cooper Union in New York City, and teaches online lettering workshops with his wife, Lynn, to students around the globe. Currently, he's the type director and studio letterer at House Industries. Ken has written several books on design, including his award-winning Lettering Manual published in 2020. Oh, this conversation with Ken was full of takeaways. Ken shared wise insights learned throughout his career of over 30 years making and teaching lettering, things like having mentors, putting your foot in the door as a lettering artist, developing your own voice, and navigating the ups and downs of a career. Ken spoke openly about the things that he did to become a master in his craft and go from amateur to pro, and the good news is that these are all actionable steps that you can follow to do that as well. As a personal note, I have been wanting to interview Ken since day one, because I know how much value and insights he has to share. Now, after almost 100 podcasts under my belt, I dared to have him on the show and conduct the interview, which I dearly share with you today.

Hello! Okay, let's start with a controversial statement: Everything you know about Detroit is wrong. Nothing like setting your stall out from the off, I guess. Well, not everything, but probably your first impression is. Certainly a couple of people I spoke to in Toronto were … somewhat confused when I mentioned I was off there, as if to say 'why would you want to go there', 'it's not safe', and, 'well, rather you than me'. But that's exactly why I visit some places, to prove to the world that they're worth visiting. And Detroit is one of the biggest cities in the USA so there must be something to pull you in, right? In this pod I talk about the visits I've made there, the places I've seen in the city, a bit about its history, and consider what makes Detroit not just one of the most underrated cities in the world but also one of the most important. This is why you need to visit, and see for yourself. Topics discussed in this episode are: * How I injured myself at Parkrun * Future directions of my online persona * Initial impressions of Detroit * The world's tallest (disused) railway station * Riding the People Mover around the downtown buildings * The Henry Ford Museum & assassinated presidents * The lndustrial legacies * ... but it could all have been so different (Whither Canada) * The riot of July 1967 * Slavery and African-American influences * Tamla/Motown * Dearborn and Arab-American influences * Detroit Zoo and Royal Oak * It's even a UNESCO city A contribution for this pod came from my friend Dayna, who I'd link to if ... she had anywhere online I *could* link to. :D A PDF transcript of this episode is available. As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. I have a newsletter with extra content, and where I'll be mentioning future podcast episodes if you want to make your own contribution. I also have a Patreon - if you like what you hear, and want to access exclusive content (or just to show your appreciation), then head on over. Until next time, bye for now. :)

Inside a small museum of turn-of-the-century electrical oddities in West Palm Beach, Florida is a small shattered glass photographic negative. It's the only surviving evidence of a strange machine that harnessed an unknown power source to potentially replace steam and electricity. What's the real story behind this motor? Among the classic cars and historic automobiles at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan is a specially modified Lincoln Continental limousine. What role did this armored vehicle play in one of the most perilous moments in the life of a new president? The Ewell Sale Stewart Library in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania contains one oversized book that catalogues every bird species in America in vivid, full-color detail. But the book, a masterpiece by a famous American artist, depicts some birds that do not exist.

Abraham Lincoln's family tree reveals a sad story of lives being cut way too short. The Lincoln family certainly was not very lucky. The man who had it the worst? Robert Lincoln, Abe's first born son... who was the only one out of four kids to make it into adulthood. Hear Robert's tale of losing a father to an assassination, three brothers to disease and locking his mother up in a mental institution, all while feeling semi-responsible for three presidents being murdered. Thanks to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan for providing this episode's inspiration. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/curator135)
