Bonus Stop: Edzel Ford's home, son of Henry Ford! After touring Greenfield Village I decided I wanted to go to a bonus stop instead of another day at Greenfield Village. I was stunned by the outward aesthetic  similarities of the Stan Hywet mansion. My wheels were spinning and memories flooded my mind from all the visits I had going to Stan Hywet from going with my mom to even working there.  Railroads The Stan Hywet mansion is located in Akron, OH, my hometown, the “Rubber Capitol of the WORLD”! I shared a lot about the history of Firestone and Goodyear, who used a lot of rubber making tires, in this episode. But on this day of my fieldtrip, I thought about what made Ford so successful? It was making the gasoline engine car affordable for more people, specifically farmers. I gave a little background on Rockefeller and Vanderbilt too to prove my point of “access equals success”. And remember in the other homes the extensive libraries? Access to education and knowledge, right? And you know what made those two successful? The railroads because it provided transportation and access to more products and places. They were able to get their products to more people.  And what do you think gave the North the upper hand in the Civil War? The railroads because they could transport supplies. And the other thing that made Ford so successful was his ability to pay his employees a higher pay than other companies. He was making more profit therefore able to pay his employees a higher rate.  I couldn't help but to think about Eleanor Ford's role (Edzel's wife) in their home. She lived for 35 years still after Edzel passed. She had a sitting room off of her bedroom upstairs, that she turned into her study. She ran her household manager responsibilities from that study. And although she wasn't fond of the entertainment wing, she knew it was expected of her to entertain. She was very philanthropic and sat on many boards. But she was the queen of productivity. You see she would have multiple board meetings going at one time and then she could just pop in and out as they were being conducted. Genius! Internet Just like railroads were the gateway to transporting goods and people, now Google, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft transport information. And just like the Goodyears and Rockefellers could get their products to more people, it is the same way I can impact more lives. They have been able to be really successful in a shorter amount of time than before the internet and able to provide better benefits for their employees due to their success.   Organize 365® could not be what it is today without the internet. It gets more products to more people. It provides a more level playing field because it is accessible to all. And it has allowed me to learn about business and manufacturing. And because of the internet … we have podcasts! Yet another avenue to learn and/or get your message out. I always like to think of how women made their mark on change in society through their uniqueness. Artificial Intellagance I don't even know what to do with AI! (sigh) As technology advances so too does our ability for everyone to be successful due to a more level playing field for small businesses. Technology, transportation, and information provides access to more education. I wanted to take this series to think about where we have been as women, how it is now as women, and where we are going for women. What change could you have on society by doing what you are uniquely created to do?  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

Send us a textThe heart-stopping moment when you realise your dog has vanished is something no pet owner wants to experience. Yet when Linda's tiny toy poodle Bobble disappeared during what should have been a routine walk, it led to valuable lessons that challenge everything we think we know about finding missing dogs.This compelling episode takes you through the entire emotional journey – from the split-second accident that led to Bobble's disappearance to the counterintuitive strategies that eventually brought him home. Most dog owners believe calling loudly and searching is the right approach, but Lauren discovered that silence and patience proved far more effective when Bobble entered "flight mode."The expertise shared from legitimate lost dog organisations reveals why scared dogs physically cannot respond to calls and how our natural reactions may actually drive them deeper into hiding. You'll learn practical, immediately useful strategies, including leaving scent items, keeping vehicles open, and recognising the early warning signs that might prevent a disappearance in the first place.Included is a cautionary tale about scammers who prey on desperate pet owners, having lost £575 to a fake drone search company in their moments of panic. This transparent account provides crucial information about legitimate resources like Drone to Home and Search and Rescue Drone charities that can help in these situations.Whether you have a tiny escape artist or a confident explorer, this episode delivers potentially life-saving knowledge every dog owner should have before they need it. Because, as Henry Ford said, "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail." Share this episode with fellow dog lovers – the strategies within could make all the difference between heartbreak and a happy reunion.Join us for AD Live & Unleashed, a *FREE* Naughty but Nice Dog 2-Day Event held 8-9 November 2025.

Ok, I know you all have been dying to hear about my field trip to Greenfield Village. I tried to start the podcast three times before this final take because I want to tell you guys everything! But how in 45 minutes? Let me just say, I will be going back! Greenfield Village Most of us have seen a living historical farm of some sort. It's usually a field trip where you get to see what it was like to live in the past. You get to see the equipment and lack of current day machines that help with everyday household tasks and business. That's Greenfield Village but magnified. Henry Ford's goal was “I only want to have ordinary people who had extraordinary vision.” He brought homes from Thomas Edison(while he was still living), the guy who created the Dewey Decimal system, the bus Rosa Parks rode, the guy who wrote the McGruff readers, the Wright Brothers bike shop, and other buildings of significance. The first 6 years it was a school. There was a lottery system for admittance. Students would start their day in church. A church that my grandma used to attend. Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were basically teaching the next generation of entrepreneurs in Thomas Edison's innovation laboratory. Thomas accumulated all kinds of supplies, textiles, and tools to create. All new things start with education and innovation.  You are standing where the greats have stood I couldn't help but to think to myself often “You are standing where the greats have stood.” Especially when I was in Thomas Edison's lab. I was able to connect some aspect of my life to each house.  Thomas Edison was the first person to assemble a team and let them dive into their uniqueness. He hired people to come work in his lab and then innovate. And because he was paying his technicians, they had money to pay to stay at the Women's Boarding house. I loved being at the boarding house where I played the role of observer. These women were baking, cleaning, chatting, and even sat by the fireplace to knit or catch up on the day's events. I can't stress the importance of relationships. Today's society is becoming too isolated. We should be filling up our time with others, not our devices.  The tour guide would have you believe the women had to do these daunting tasks because the men were out doing whatever. But I challenge that thought. These women were volunteers playing a role, reeling us into the past, and enjoying themselves. I kept picturing myself in those lifestyles. You didn't have a car to go shopping, a phone to scroll on, or the conveniences of today's lifestyle. If I were them, in that day, I'd love to grind the wheat and make the soup. So I'm not sure I'm buying that they didn't like their responsibilities.  So all because one man decided to gather a team to explore their zone of genius, the town boomed. That led to other businesses from people exploring their zones of genius and doing what they were uniquely gifted and created to do, thus all of the village's talents were represented.  Curiosity • Resourcefulness • Practice over time It's not the size of your house, your intellect, or resources that make you great. It's curiosity like me needing to figure out how to settle an estate. And resourcefulness like me figuring out how to create and manufacture the Financial Binder. I have a teaching degree, not a masters in business. I also had to be very resourceful because my budget was small. I was an ordinary person with a vision. I didn't come from money. I'm not well connected. And over time I keep learning and honing the thing that I am gifted and uniquely created to do. I keep refining The Productive Home Solution. I thoroughly enjoyed my field trip to Greenfield Village and was able to make so many connections to my life today. America - an entrepreneurial country!

How Profit and Politics Hijacked Scientific Inquiry, with John Ioannidis

Why does a podcast about capitalism want to talk about science?Modern capitalism and science have evolved together since the Enlightenment. Advances in ship building and navigation enabled the Age of Discovery, which opened up new trade routes and markets to European merchants. The invention of the spinning jinny and cotton in the 18th century spurred textile production. The United States' Department of Defense research and development agency helped create the precursor to the internet. The internet now supports software and media industries worth trillions of dollars. On the flip side, some of America's greatest capitalists and businesses, including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Bell Labs, gave us everything from electricity production to the transistor. Neither science nor capitalism can succeed without the other.However, science's star is now dimming. Part of this is due to political intervention. In the U.S., the federal government has cut funding for scientific research. The Covid-19 pandemic diminished the public's trust in scientific experts, which social media has exacerbated through misinformation. Restrictions on immigration may further hamper scientific research as some of the world's brightest minds lose access to funding and state-of-the-art facilities.But so too has capitalism played a hand in science's struggles. While corporations sponsor a significant portion of funding for scientific research, this funding too often comes with undisclosed conflicts of interest. Or corporate pressure may influence results in other ways.Stanford University professor John Ioannidis is a physician, writer, and one of the world's most-cited scientists. He studies the methodology and sociology of science itself: how the process and standards for empirical research influence findings in ways that some may find inaccurate. His 2005 essay "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False" is one of the most accessed articles in the history of Public Library of Science (PLOS), with more than three million views. Ioannidis joins Bethany and Luigi to discuss the future of the relationship between capitalism and science, how both will have to respond to contemporary politics, and how one even conceptualizes robust measurements of scientific success.Listen:Science for Sale, with David Michaels: Learn how corporate-funded science uses doubt to its patrons' advantage.The Money Behind Ultra-Processed Foods, with Marion Nestle: Examine the role of Big Food in public health.The Capitalisn't of the U.S. COVID Response: Understand the factors that exacerbated the pandemic's fallout for the most vulnerable in society.Read:Food for Thought: An excerpt from the second edition of Marion Nestle's book, Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health.How Conflicts of Interest Shape Trust in Academic Work: What is the impact of various conflicts of interest on readers' trust in academic research findings?

The “big story” around town is that the demolition clock has started on the Glass House in Dearborn, as Ford is moving their global HQ three miles down the road to a beautiful new building. Opened in 1956, the last time I visited the Glass House it was a bit long in the tooth for a company the stature of Ford. But, nostalgia is a thing and so many west siders are used to seeing it off of Michigan avenue for decades. In about 18 months, it'll be gone to make way for something new. The new headquarters will be twice the size of the current building and accommodate double the employees, bringing together engineering, design, and technology teams in one collaborative space. According to Ford executives Bill Ford and Jim Farley, the facility will house up to 4,000 employees with a total of 14,000 workers within a 15-minute walk. Plus, they're staying in Dearborn, and the new HQ will be across from the Henry Ford and Greenfield Village, Metro Detroit's largest tourist destination. Devon O'Reilly grew up in Dearborn and is active in the civic, business, and philanthropic communities in the city — joins to talk about why this is such a big deal, what it will help, and what might be ahead for the old Glass House space.

What if the secret to success isn't having all the answers, but embracing the unknown? In this episode of The Overlap Podcast, hosts Sid Sexton and Keith Glines dive deep into what it really means to learn as you go in business, fitness, and life. From messy starts and stubborn pivots to the surprising lessons of parenting and jiu-jitsu, they reveal why staying open-minded and humble might be the most valuable skill an entrepreneur can develop. You'll hear candid stories about running companies without perfect plans, pivoting when things don't work, and keeping momentum even when failure feels relentless. This is a raw, practical look at how growth often comes from trial, error, and the courage to keep going. What You Will Learn Why entrepreneurs must get comfortable with ambiguity and limited information. The fine line between stubbornness and knowing when to pivot. How parenting and jiu-jitsu mirror the challenges of business ownership. Practical strategies for controlling negative self-talk. Why humility and openness to younger voices can fuel long-term success. Key Topics Discussed The role of mental health in an entrepreneur's ability to pivot. Why making money quickly is usually a myth in business. The danger of ignoring market signals (Henry Ford's “buggy whip” lesson). How new creative tools like Canva are replacing old standards like Photoshop. What parenting teaches us about learning on the fly. How resilience in jiu-jitsu reflects resilience in entrepreneurship. Memorable Quotes “If you're going to be an entrepreneur, you have to be okay operating with limited information.” – Sid “Competition—whether in business or jiu-jitsu—is mostly mindset. If you just keep showing up, eventually you get there.” – Keith “It takes humility to know you don't know everything—and that you can learn from everyone.” – Sid Sponsor Spotlight Content Fresh – Growing The Overlap Podcast's social reach by 2,235%.

Transcript Excerpts [00:06:35] Keith: “Being an entrepreneur really is learning as you go. Most of us didn't follow a perfect plan—we just had to figure it out along the way.” [00:23:06] Sid: “When my oldest came out of the hospital, the fear hit me. Parenting teaches you to learn as you go better than anything else.” [00:34:40] Sid: “Keith just kept coming back to jiu-jitsu tournaments. That persistence—showing up even when you lose—is the same persistence you need in business.” Conclusion Learning as you go isn't a fallback—it's the way forward. Whether in business, parenting, or the gym, success comes from being open, adaptable, and willing to keep moving through uncertainty. Try applying just one “learn as you go” mindset shift this week—and share this episode with a fellow entrepreneur who needs encouragement.

The Atlas Obscura Podcast

In the 1920s, Henry Ford decided to create a rubber plantation in the Amazon rainforest, and alongside it, a tidy little town for his workers: Fordlandia. With its classic American homes and yards, sidewalks and electric streetlights, Fordlandia was a Midwestern anomaly in the Brazilian jungle, one that dazzled American visitors. And it might have actually been a decent place to live – if it weren't governed by Henry Ford's rigid and peculiar rules for a wholesome society.Read more in Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City by Greg Grandin.

How Can Manufacturers Solve the Mass Customisation Problem?

"The real challenge that many manufacturers have dealt with for a long time and will keep facing is the shift from mass manufacturing to mass customisation," stated Daniel Joseph Barry, VP of Product Marketing at Configit. In a world that has moved from mass manufacturing to mass customisation, makers of complex products like cars and medical devices face a hidden problem. For more than a century, since the time of Henry Ford, manufacturers have worked in a separate, mass-production mindset. This method in the recent industrial scenario has caused a lot of friction and frustration.In this episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Christina Stathopoulos, Dare To Data Founder, talks with Daniel Joseph Barry, VP of Product Marketing at Configit. They talk about Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) and its importance in tackling the challenges that manufacturers of complex products face recurrently.The speakers discuss the move from mass manufacturing to mass customisation, the various choices available to consumers, and the need to connect sales and engineering teams. Barry emphasises the value of working together to tackle these challenges. He points out that using CLM can make processes easier and enhance customer experiences (CX).What is Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM)According to Barry, Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) is an approach that involves managing product configurations throughout their lifecycle. He describes it as an extension of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) that focuses specifically on configurations. In today's highly bespoke world, customers are buying configurations of products instead of just the products themselves. The answer isn't to work harder within existing teams but to adopt a new, collaborative approach. This is where Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) comes in. CLM creates a single, shared source of truth for all product configuration information. It combines data from engineering, sales, and manufacturing. Configit's patented Virtual Tabulation® (VT™) technology pre-computes all the different options, so there's no longer a need for slow, real-time calculations. Barry says, "It's just a lookup, so it's lightning fast.” This represents a prominent shift that removes the delays and dead ends, frustrating customers and sales staff. Such a centralised system makes sure that every department uses the same, verified information, stopping errors from happening later on. One such company, and Configit's customer, Vestas, a wind power company, automated its configuration process for complex wind turbines that have 160,000 options. By adopting a CLM approach, they cut the time to configure a solution from 60 minutes to just five.Tune into the podcast for more information on the transformational impact of Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM).

This is a story about the Seabrooks and the frozen vegetable empire they created in Southern New Jersey, Seabrook Farms. It chronicles the ingenuity and ambition that built the industrial farm and its brand, as well as the brutality and graft required to keep it going, and the tragic way that the family business ended.“Having left this material for his writer son, my father must have wanted the story told, even if he couldn't bear to tell it himself.”So begins the story of a forgotten American dynasty, a farming family from the bean fields of southern New Jersey that became wealthy and powerful aristocrats—only to implode in a storm of lies. The patriarch, C. F. Seabrook, was hailed as the “Henry Ford of Agriculture.” His son Jack, a keen businessman, was poised to take over what Life called “the biggest vegetable factory on earth.” But the carefully cultivated facade—glamorous outings by horse-drawn carriage, hidden wine cellars, and movie star girlfriends—hid dark secrets that led to the implosion of the family business. A compulsively readable story of class and privilege, betrayal, and revenge—three decades in the making — The Spinach King explores the author's complicated family legacy and dark corners of the American Dream.He is the author of the "Spinach King: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty." https://www.johnseabrook.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

The rise and fall of William J. Levitt, the man who made the suburban house a mass commodity. Two material artifacts defined the middle-class American lifestyle in the mid-twentieth century: the automobile, which brought gas stations, highways, commercial strips, and sprawl; and the single-family suburban home, the repository of many families' long-term wealth. While the man who did the most to make the automobile a mass commodity—Henry Ford—is well known, few know the story of the man who did the same for the suburban house. Edward Berenson describes the remarkable career of William Levitt, who did more than anyone else to create the modern suburb. In response to an unprecedented housing shortage as veterans returned home from World War II, his Levittown developments provided inexpensive mass-produced housing that was wildly popular—prospective buyers would camp out in line for two days for the chance to put down a deposit on a Levitt house. He was a celebrity, a life-changing hero to tens of thousands, and the pitchman of a renewed American Dream. But Levitt also shared Ford's dark side. He refused to allow Black people to buy or rent in his developments and doggedly defended this practice against legal challenges. Leading the way for other developers who emulated his actions, he helped ensure that suburbs nationwide remained white enclaves. These legacies are still with us. Levitt made a major contribution to the stubborn wealth disparity between white families and Black families, and his solution to the housing crisis of the 1940s—the detached house and surrounding yard—is a primary cause of the housing crisis today. As a person, Levitt was a strangely guileless and tragic figure. He accumulated vast wealth but, after losing control of his building company, surrendered it all through foolish investments and a lavish lifestyle that included a Long Island mansion and a two-hundred-foot yacht. Just weeks before his death, as a charity patient in a hospital to which he had once given millions, he was still imagining his great comeback.

Buckle up for a thrilling ride through automotive history's most fascinating turning points! From daring pioneers to corporate chess moves, our latest episode uncovers the moments that revolutionized how we move through the world.We kick things off with the remarkable story of Bertha Benz, who in 1888 essentially "borrowed" her husband's invention without permission and embarked on a 66-mile journey that would change transportation forever. Imagine purchasing fuel from a pharmacy, making roadside repairs yourself, and proving to a skeptical world that automobiles weren't just novelties but practical machines with real potential. This audacious act by Bertha stands as perhaps the world's first automotive marketing campaign—and it worked brilliantly.The episode accelerates through Henry Ford's initial stumbles with his first automotive venture, which produced fewer than 20 vehicles before closing. We explore how Harvey Firestone's tire company became fundamental to America's automotive expansion despite later controversies, and examine how quickly car manufacturers pivoted to military production during World War I. Walter Chrysler's strategic introduction of the DeSoto brand reveals the competitive positioning that defined the industry, while De Tomaso's rescue of Maserati demonstrates the passion driving automotive preservation. We wrap up with popular culture's love affair with cars, featuring James Bond's unforgettable submarine-transforming Lotus Esprit.Throughout human history, automobiles have represented more than transportation—they embody freedom, innovation, and the relentless human drive to push boundaries.

What if accepting failure was the key to entrepreneurial success? Mark DeSantis has built and sold multiple companies over the years and like any entrepreneurial journey, it's been a mixture of ups and downs, failures and successes. But in this episode, we hear that acknowledging the possibility of failure is what gave him the courage to keep on going.Mark shares his entrepreneurial story – why he began it, how he stays motivated, and some of the best lessons he's picked up over the years. One of the top points he makes in this episode is to be problem-focused, not solutions-focused. When building tech solutions, it's easy to get lost in the tech itself and lose sight of the real problems you want it to solve. But to make anything commercially viable, especially something as “new” as robotics, it needs to solve real problems.Mark also sings the praises of Pittsburgh, which he says is one of the best cities for robotics innovation today. He's seen the city decline and grow over the years into what's now a college town that's thriving in the tech space.In this episode, find out:Mark shares what he's been up to recently, after seeing Bloomfield Robotics acquired by Kubota CorporationThe challenge of living with uncertainty as an entrepreneur and the story that inspired him to embrace fearWhy entrepreneurship is like climbing Mount Everest in that you should look in front of you, not at the summitMark's secret to enjoying the journey of entrepreneurship and the moment he decided he wanted to do this for the rest of his lifeWhy AI and robotics are perfect for the “big and boring” problems in our livesWhy we might need a Henry Ford-style revolution to take robotics to the next levelHow Pittsburgh is growing in the tech and robotics spaceWhy asking if someone wants to buy your solution is the wrong question for an entrepreneur to askEnjoying the show?

It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“Where technology, particularly AI, can make a difference is in the big and boring problems. The places where nobody thinks to take an advanced technology."“Go where everyone else isn't with advanced solutions and make sure the problem's big enough where you can make a difference. “If you're frozen with fear because you're worried about the failure of the company, or your personal failure and the humiliation that that might bring, you're not going to make good decisions.

Go to www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Anthony Scaramucci served as the White House Director of Communications for President Donald Trump from July 21 to July 31, 2017. He was at Harvard Law School with President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. He's the founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital. And he's the founder and Chairman of the SALT conference.  Leadership through service: True leadership isn't about personal glory but about making others better and helping them succeed in their roles. Derek Jeter exemplified this by never caring about personal statistics, only team success. "If you're on the team, it's not about me, right? It's about you. How am I gonna make you better? Or how am I gonna make you feel good about your role? How am I gonna get you to think that I'm here to help you?" Flexibility and decision-making under pressure: Football taught Scaramucci the importance of reading situations quickly and making audibles at the line of scrimmage - skills that translate directly to business and life leadership. "You can't just say, okay, here's the game plan, right? Because that's what Mike Tyson says, right? You have the plan until you get punched in the face, or all battle plans go by the wayside with contact with the enemy." Resilience through adversity: Getting "your ass kicked" early in life builds the resilience needed for future challenges in business and politics. Early defeats teach you how to bounce back from failure. "That's called resilience, right? You gotta get over that... That's how you gotta get your ass kicked. Here I was... and I just remember feeling so puny... So how you gotta get over that." The confidence battle starts within: The first fight in life is with yourself - believing you're good enough and worthy to compete. Henry Ford's principle applies: "If you think you can or you can't, you are right." "The first fight is with yourself. Am I good enough? Am I worthy? Can I get to the game? Can I believe in myself enough so that I'm standing next to someone else who believes in themselves that I compete?" Accountability in relationships: When Scaramucci's marriage was in crisis, taking full accountability for his mistakes rather than deflecting blame was crucial to rebuilding the relationship. "I owe my wife Deirdre, a debt of gratitude for actually really loving me because I was off the rails on a few things... she's like, Hey, I'm not having this, so if you love me, get your shit together." Life coaching vs. therapy approach: Life coaching focuses on progression and future action ("What are we doing today to be better?") rather than regression into past issues. "I feel that therapy is a regression. Life coaching is a progression... forget about the past. What the hell are you gonna do? What are we doing today to make yourself a better person?" Forgiveness as liberation: Choosing to forgive both others and yourself removes the "millstone of regret" that weighs you down and prevents forward progress. "I can take that millstone of regret and leave it behind me, take it off of my neck and leave it behind me... human frailty and not judging it is not just you judging others, but also yourself." The comfortable outsider advantage: Being comfortable with your outsider status while still being able to operate in elite circles provides authentic confidence and relatability across all social levels. "I am a comfortable outsider. I'm not an insider... but I'm comfortable with it. You know, like guys like Trump or Rudy, they're uncomfortable. Outsiders... But I'm a comfortable outsider. I don't need to do that." Intellectual curiosity + neuroplasticity: Combining genuine curiosity about others with the ability to adapt and change allows you to move successfully between different social and professional circles. "Find your superpower... I think your superpower is very similar to my superpower... intellectual curiosity. And so if you can blend intellectual curiosity with neuroplasticity, meaning you can adopt and change... then you can move in various circles." Pivot for survival: Successful businesses and careers require constant reinvention. SkyBridge's conference business and pivot to Bitcoin were survival strategies that became major successes. "We were going outta business... This was an accidental survivor strategy. This was a pivot that we were making in order to stay in business. This was not some mastermind plan."
