What you'll learn in this episode: Why the Netherlands has a high concentration of the world's art jewelry galleries Why public funding and support is crucial for the survival of art jewelry How Rob finds new artists, and how he defines what a strong piece is How Rob uses social media to find clients across the world  About Rob Koudijs Rob Koudijs is the founder and owner of Galerie Rob Koudijs, a 100-square-meter exhibition space located in the gallery district in the center of Amsterdam. The gallery specializes in contemporary art jewelry which communicates ideas, has sculptural qualities, and uses materials in innovative ways. The gallery represents a group of jewelry artists who produce work challenging the borders of the applied and the fine arts. As these artists come from all corners of the globe, the latest international developments are on display in regular solo shows and in the gallery's collection. As well as showing jewelry, Galerie Rob Koudijs stocks a range of books and catalogues by the represented artists.

That risk paid off, because Rob Koudijs Gallery is still going strong nearly 15 years later, despite jewelry still being a niche art form. He joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how he discovered his interest in contemporary jewelry, where he thinks the industry is headed, and why the Netherlands has a robust culture of art jewelry. Read the episode transcript below.  Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. Today, my guest is Rob Koudijs—I'm going to let him pronounce his name—founder of a leading art and jewelry gallery in Amsterdam. He's also a leading figure in championing art jewelry. We will hear about his jewelry journey today. Rob, welcome to the program. Rob: Thank you very much, Sharon. Sharon: I'm so glad to talk with you. Tell us about your jewelry journey. How did you get involved in jewelry and art jewelry in particular? Rob: Do you want to have the long story or the short one? Sharon: We want the full story. Rob: Then I will start where it all began. That was about 40 years ago. I met the man who is now my husband. He was starting architecture in Delft, and when I was in Delft, we went to an art gallery. They had jewelry and he thought, “O.K., I'm an architect. This jewelry is very conceptual, very architectural, and I can wear it.” He bought a piece from Joke van Ommen I don't know if you know her, but Joke van Ommen was a Dutch artist. A few years later, she went to the United States and founded Jewelerswerk in Washington. I think that must be interesting for you as well. That's how it started. It was not me; it was he who bought a piece, and then he got interested. We both were interested in art and design, but we didn't know anything about contemporary jewelry. We thought about finding books about it. Well, there was nothing in the world, not at that time. We are talking about 1979. There was one book shop in Amsterdam and they had books—I don't where they found them—about contemporary jewelry. I'm telling you about that art book shop because we were invited to a birthday party there. There we met Ruudt Peters —you probably know him—and he— Sharon: Ruudt Peters? Rob: Ruudt Peters, that's how you pronounce it. It is a funny journey, because he invited us to his birthday party, and I'm talking about 40 years ago. There was a friend of his called Marie-José, and she had just started a gallery. She also started going to an art fair, and she invited us to come to that art fair. We went there, and I think within five minutes I started selling. I always say she discovered my talents in contemporary jewelry. She told me later on that she saw my enthusiasm about the work, so she asked me if I'd help her with the art fair. I did that for 10 years, only at my holidays, of course, because I had a totally different job; I was working in healthcare, psychiatry. I took vacations every year to help her with the art fair and to help her open the gallery. That's what I did for 10 years; that's how it started, and of course, I got a lot of inspiration from that.  We started buying jewelry—well, you know how it works. Before, there was not that much in the Netherlands. Marie-José just started. When you are getting interested in contemporary jewelry, you think, “This is fantastic, but where can I find it?” So, we went looking for galleries. We found one gallery and we started buying things, and we went to Gallery Marzee and started buying pieces. At one moment, we discovered there was another gallery that opened. That was in 1985, I think, and that was Louise Smit Gallery. So, there were some galleries. There was one in Delft as well, Louis Martin. I became involved in the jewelry world, but it was not my job. Shall I go on? Sharon: Please.  Rob: After 10 years helping Marie-José she went to the big building where she is now. You probably have been there. Then we stopped working together. Later, we visited the Louise Smit Gallery and she said, “O.K., sit down. I'm here now for 10 years. I don't see what's going on in the jewelry world anymore, and I need a business partner.” It's a long story, but I became business partner in the Louise Smit Gallery. Sharon: Is that still going? I don't know. Rob: No, it's not there anymore. It existed for 10 years and then I did it for 10 years. The 20-year celebration, I was still there. The idea was that she should focus on the big names, the big artists she was already working with, and it was my task to find new talents. That's what I did, and I'm still working with them. I have to tell you—I wrote it down—we are talking about 25 years ago, and we started with lots of students, and most of them came from the Netherlands. They had all their education at Rietveld Academie, but we also went to Munich and then we found students there. I brought them into that gallery. I was a business partner, so I got the young talent over there, and that's how it worked. We did it for 10, years and then very abruptly—is that how you say that?  Sharon: Yes. Rob: It didn't work out very nicely. She stopped our companionship, and that was that, my 20 years in contemporary jewelry. So I thought, “O.K., this was so nice.” I liked it so much. I did it next to my other job, and I thought, “O.K., I have to try it myself because if I don't, I will regret it the rest of my life.” It was 2006, and a few months later—I don't know, half a year later—in April 2007, I opened my own gallery. The idea was, O.K., there were two galleries in Amsterdam. There was one gallery in Delfts. I thought, “It's crazy. We are a very small country. Contemporary jewelry is a niche in the art world, so will there a public for it?” But, I thought, “If I don't do it— let's give it a try, and if after a year I see it doesn't work out, I will stop with it.” Well, that's now 14 years ago and I'm still here. That's more or less the story over 40 years and how it all started.  Sharon: Wow! I love the fact that you're saying you realized you would regret it for your whole life if you didn't do it. I think of things myself where I thought, “If I don't this, I'll just—” It didn't work out, but at least I can try. Rob: Exactly, that's what I thought, and that's how it all started. Of course, I was very dedicated to contemporary jewelry. Some artists stayed in the older galleries, but there were a lot of artists that needed a gallery. That's what's still going on now. There are not that many galleries in the world. So, I thought, “O.K., I'll just give it a try,” and I didn't regret it at all. Sharon: There's a handful of galleries in the world, and there are really not that many that were doing. There's a handful. The majority seem to be in the Netherlands. There are not that many in the world. I don't think there are a dozen.  Rob: It's funny, because it's not like that anymore, but at a certain moment, I think we had five galleries for contemporary jewelry in the Netherlands. At the moment, there are only two—well, the galleries with big names. It's Marie-José and it's me in Amsterdam. That's because the other galleries closed, so there are only two galleries. It's still a lot for such a small country. Sharon: Why do you think that is? What is it that the Netherlands has, where you have two galleries or in the past had five, when the rest of the world has so few? It's so unusual. Rob: No, you're right. I've thought it over a lot, and I've gotten that question many times as well. Probably it has something to do with—not now, but in the past. In the past, in the Netherlands, artists got very good grants. Museums bought contemporary jewelry, and there was a lot of publicity about contemporary jewelry. I think the focus was on contemporary jewelry. I don't know why. We always say it has something to do with the 60s, when Dutch jewelers started. I don't know why it happened that way, but I think the government was important. The grants, that's what it's all about, because otherwise most of the jewelry artists cannot live from what they are doing. When you get a grant, you can develop yourself, and that's what happened. That's why all these artists, the names I told you before, all these artists are still working. After 25, 30 years, they are still there and they are still successful. It has something to do with that.  What you see now is that there are no grants anymore, not for jewelry artists. There is no publicity. Museums don't buy that much. There's only one wonderful museum in the Netherlands. You probably have heard of it; maybe you've been there. It's the CODA Museum in Apeldoorn, and they have the biggest collection of contemporary jewelry at the moment. Through the years, Stedelijk Museum didn't buy any more. Rijksmuseum, they have a nice collection, but they don't buy. You can be successful, or a field in the art world can be successful if there's publicity, if there are grants, and if the museums are interested. There were a lot of exhibitions, like I said, but it's all in the past. The jewelry is still there and the collections are there. The Stedelijk Museum has a big collection, and they started early. I don't know how it is in the states, but they all started after the war, in the 50s, 60s buying contemporary jewelry. I don't know if that's the reason, but that's what we think. It has something to do with it.  Sharon: It makes a lot of sense. I'm interested in the fact that you use the term contemporary, because if you were going to Google contemporary jewelry, you wouldn't see a lot of these names come up. You'd see more—I don't mean to knock it, but run-of-the-mill or production jewelry as opposed to art jewelry. But you use contemporary jewelry. Do people know what you're talking about when you use it? Suppose you are at an art fair. I'm just interested in the fact that you use the term contemporary jewelry as opposed to art jewelry.  Rob: When I use my hashtags on Instagram, I use art jewelry, studio jewelry, contemporary jewelry; I use them all, because I think in the world, not only in the Netherlands, we use all those names. There is no specific name for it, as far as I know. Sharon: There isn't. It's such a nebulous name. There's not one name that says what it is. Rob: Yeah, you can call it art jewelry or art you can wear, sculpture to wear. I think the problem is when you are talking about a painting or a sculpture, well, that's what it is. You have contemporary sculpture and you have antique sculpture, but it is very difficult. Like I said, it is probably because it is a niche in the art world, and you want to be different from the big jewelry shops, somewhere where they sell the gold and the diamonds. That's not what we are doing and what our artists are doing, but there's not a specific name for it, no. Sharon: What was it that attracted you initially? Was it the art aspect of it? You could have been attracted to gold and diamonds. What was it that attracted to art and jewelry? Rob: No, it's more the integration of the artistic concepts. It's art and it's design and it has craft. Craft, for me, is very important, all the crafts that are used and the combination of that. Like I said before, my husband and I were interested in art and design and architecture, but this integrates it all. We could wear it, because especially 40 years ago, it was very common for men to wear jewelry. That's why we started with geometrical jewelry. I think it has something to do with that. It integrates a lot of things. It's small sculpture. I talk to a lot of collectors, and if you are collecting sculpture, for instance, or paintings or photos, all your walls are full. When you are collecting contemporary jewelry, you have the most wonderful pieces of art, and you can put them in a drawer and go on till you die. Sharon: This is a question I have; I've thought about it a lot. What is a collector? When do you cross the line from being someone who is just an enthusiast into being a collector? When do you become a collector? Rob: Some people are opposed very much to the word collector. For a long time, we didn't like to be collectors. We just bought things we liked and we could wear. At a certain moment, you have over a hundred pieces, and then other people are calling you a collector. I know the same thing happens with clients in the gallery, for instance. They also don't like to be called a collector, but at a certain moment, they have so many good and strong pieces. Then other people start calling you a collector, and then you are a collector whether you want to be or not. Sharon: Another question, perhaps not so easy to answer: When you say good and strong pieces, what's a good and strong piece? Is a good and strong piece one that I love? Maybe it's by a certain artist. Rob: When someone asks me that, I always give the same answer: It is very personal. Our personal is that we like architectural, sculptural jewelry. We like brooches because we are men and we don't wear necklaces. So, our focus is on that. When we say it is strong, it has to do with that. It has to be sculptural, and of course it also has something to do with the artist. You follow the artist and think, “O.K., this is new. This is interesting,” because it's also important that there is somewhat of a development in what an artist is doing. I think that makes it a strong work, but it is very personal. What you think is good or strong or special, I cannot say it for the whole world. It's only for me. Sharon: As a gallerist, you must be inundated with artists saying, “Are you interested in carrying my work?” or who come to you and say, “Let me be in your gallery.” How do you sift through all of this? Rob: That is a very difficult part of being a gallerist, because you have to disappoint people, especially disappoint artists. There are not that many galleries and there a lot of artists. Most of the time when people reach out to me by email or they come to the gallery, I always say, “Send me some images and don't expect me to react.” That doesn't sound very kind, but if I can't do that, I should hire someone to do that for me, because we got a lot of questions about it, “I want to show my work in your gallery.” We are always looking if it is an adjustment to the artists we have in the gallery, for instance. I think that's very important. And is it new? Is it something special I haven't seen before? With the adjustment to the other artists, I don't want three or four artists there that look the same. I'm not interested in that. That's what's happening, and most of the time, to be honest, we find the artists ourselves. Sharon: At shows? Rob: Yeah, it doesn't happen often that people reach us and send us emails or show us work and we say, “Oh yeah, that's fantastic for the gallery.” It doesn't happen that often, no. Sharon: Do you find them at shows like Schmuck, or what's the one in the Netherlands? Rob: No, there is not that much in the Netherlands. Schmuck is very important, but there is something else. We've known all the artists so along already, 25, 30, 35 years, and they know other artists. Sometimes they say, “I know a guy, I know a girl. Have a look at it.” That helps us as well. We don't go to all the graduation shows. For us, it's important to go to Schmuck in Munich. Sharon: We should tell people what Schmuck is. I'm sorry; go ahead. Schmuck being the art jewelry week in Munich. Rob: In Munich, yes. Schmuck is actually the German word for jewelry, but everybody calls it Shumuck now. Things are changing. We went to all the graduation shows, and of course we follow the artists who are graduating and want to give them a platform in the gallery. We want to show young artists, but that has changed. It's not that strong in school anymore, not for contemporary jewelry. There are not many artists from the Rietveld Academie anymore, so we have to find them all over the world, and that's what we do. We have artists from all over the world, from New Zealand, from Austria, from the United States. Most of them come from Europe, but we are a very international gallery.  Sharon: Do you have clients from all over the world? People buying from the gallery all over the world? Rob: Yes, that has a changed as well. When we started, it was mostly from the Netherlands or from Europe, when people could travel, of course, but that has changed as well. The world is smaller. We have Facebook. We have Instagram. We make online catalogues. You probably have seen a few from us. We reach out to our clients in the world, and there are some very good collectors in the world, especially in the United States. So, we have clients from all over the world, from all countries in Europe, from the United States, and from Australia. These are the countries from where we get clients. Sharon: In terms of dealing, I don't know how it's been in the Netherlands with Covid. Have you been doing more online with Covid, or even before that?  Rob: We did a lot. Like I said, I'm very active on Facebook and especially Instagram, because I think it's an important medium at the moment. During lockdown, I think we did something by email every week, by Facebook, by Instagram; we sent out to the world. We had the idea while we were in lockdown in the beginning of last year. We were closed for over four months, and then we were closed for 3.5 months. I just opened up a few weeks ago. So, we had to reach out to our clients by email and make it interesting. That's why we started to make those online catalogues to seduce our clients.  Something else was very important first—that's how it actually started. We had to let them know we are closed, but we are there and we still have those wonderful artists who we work with, and they're making new work. We asked them to make new work. They did, and we want to show it to you, and it worked. It kept us through. You have seen my place; it's not for nothing that you rent a place like that. We needed to pay the rent and so on. It was tough, but it worked because we worked very much online in the last year. I don't think we'll stop, even though we're open again. We discovered what we could do to find a bigger audience.  Sharon: What do you see as the trends, or where do you see the global market in art jewelry going? Do you think it's an increasing interest? Some people think no, it really hasn't changed. I like to think it's growing, but that's just my American optimism. Where do you see art jewelry? Do you see it expanding the market? Do you see more galleries opening, more interest, more people understanding it? I can't claim to understand it, but I'm just asking what you think. Rob: Let's just say it this way, Sharon: I hope so. I don't know. What happened in the art world with photography—that's already quite some time ago—it started to explode and was seen as real art. I hope that would happen to contemporary jewelry as well, but not at this moment. There are fewer galleries. All the galleries are old, more or less; there are a few younger, but most of them are old, so it will stop. I don't know. I think the biggest problem is that it's wonderful to do it. It's the best thing I have done in my life, but if you are young and you have a family and you have to live from it, I don't think it will work out. It will be very difficult; otherwise, you have to commercialize, and that's what I don't want. If I should do it that way, then I stop immediately.  Sharon: When you start selling the T-shirts with the gallery name.  Rob: Yes, for instance. That can be a problem. You probably follow the jewelry world as much as we do, and you know when you go to auctions, we always hope the jewelry will get a higher price. Sometimes it works, but it has to be gold. You see at auctions that good pieces from good artists from the last 50 years, they go up in price, but it has to be from precious materials. Well, not all our artists' work is made of precious materials. They work with wood and glass and textile. They also work with gold and silver and pearls and diamonds, but they use it not for the sake of gold or diamonds. They use it as their material to express themselves. So, I hope it will get better, especially for all those artists who are working so hard, but it still is a niche in the art world. Sharon: Yes, very much so. Thank you so much for talking with us today. I'm glad things have opened and that you are expanding in the online world so more people can see what you're doing and what you have. Thank you so much for talking with us today. Rob: Thank you, Sharon. Thank you again for listening. Please leave us a rating and review so we can help others start their own jewelry journey.

For us, it was quite surreal to speak to someone so influential, and listeners can expect to come away with a greater understanding of 'smart-beta', intangible assets, forecasting, and some insight into the interesting areas of earnings dilution and 'the big market delusion', before Rob shares some very surprising information on factor momentum at the end of our chat. So for this and a whole lot more, in a truly stand-out episode, be sure to listen in!   Key Points From This Episode: Rob's perspective on the drawbacks of cap-weighted indexing. [0:02:47.2] Getting to grips with 'smart-beta' and its links to RAFI. [0:06:21.6] Building a fundamental index and what the weights are based on. [0:11:17.4] Misconceptions of the value of backtesting when making investment decisions. [0:13:43.3] The prevalence of extreme factor-drawdowns for investments.

Talk about a unique career path! From performing at Woodstock before Jimi Hendrix, with his band Sha Na Na, to now being a Forensic Linguist, testifying for infamous court cases, one theme runs throughout the life journey of our guest Rob Leonard; his love of language.  Rob Leonard started his unique career as a band member of Sha Na Na, one of only 32 bands who played at Woodstock in August of 1969. He played at the request of Jimi Hendrix and was the last band to go on to perform before Jimi went on to play one of his most memorable performances; the unforgettable rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Sha Na Na shot to fame when Rob was studying for his undergraduate degree at Columbia University. Since his commitment to the band's rehearsals and performances was so time consuming, Rob chose to study the only language that had classes available on Saturdays: East African Bantu (also known as Swahili). So after graduating, and leaving the band, he spent 7 years in East Africa carrying out socio linguistic fieldwork, and subsequently earning his PhD. Rob now practices as a forensic linguistics expert, analyzing the use of spoken and written language in a legal arena.  He worked on the murder case of JonBenét Ramsey by analyzing the ransom note and testifying that it had not been written by the man who falsely confessed to her murder. Not only has he worked to solve cases in the US with the FBI, but he's also worked with Canada, and UK, law enforcement agencies as well. And he's worked on big corporate cases between Microsoft and Apple by carefully analyzing the way emails were written. © 2021 Behavioral Grooves Quotes From Our Conversation with Rob Leonard  (24:41) we can sort of use another metaphor, lift up the cover of the language and see what's going on underneath.

Most of us don't give a lot of thought to how and when we listen to podcasts. But like most of life, an intentional approach can reap benefits. In this episode, Josh Russell walks us through: strategies for maximizing retention, listening based on brain state, new data on listening while driving, the value of silence.   Listen on: iTunes Spotify Stitcher   Guest Bio:  Joshua Russell, MD is clinician, writer, and educator.  Since completing residency training in Emergency Medicine, Dr. Russell has had a varied career including supervising PAs and NPs as a medical director for a regional Urgent Care network, contributing to various Hippo Education podcasts, and serving as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Urgent Care Medicine (JUCM). Most recently, he has completed fellowship training in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at the University of Chicago Medical Center. This episode is in support of the I AM ALS. I AM ALS was founded by Brian Wallach and his wife Sandra shortly after his diagnosis at the age of 37. He was given 6 months to live, and now 4 years later he is leading a revolution to find a cure. People often refer to ALS as rare, which is not really so. The lifetime risk is around 1 in 300. Since Lou Gehrig was diagnosed 80 years ago, available treatments have been shown to extend life a mere 3 months. I AM ALS supports research, legislation to fast track therapies, and provides critical resources to patients and caregivers. ALS is relentless, and so are they. The question is no longer if we'll find a cure for ALS, but when. This is an underfunded disease and every little bit makes a difference.

#101 – Robert Wright on using cognitive empathy to save the world

In 2003, Saddam Hussein refused to let Iraqi weapons scientists leave the country to be interrogated. Given the overwhelming domestic support for an invasion at the time, most key figures in the U.S. took that as confirmation that he had something to hide — probably an active WMD program. But what about alternative explanations? Maybe those scientists knew about past crimes. Or maybe they’d defect. Or maybe giving in to that kind of demand would have humiliated Hussein in the eyes of enemies like Iran and Saudi Arabia. According to today’s guest Robert Wright, host of the popular podcast The Wright Show, these are the kinds of things that might have come up if people were willing to look at things from Saddam Hussein’s perspective. Links to learn more, summary and full transcript. He calls this ‘cognitive empathy’. It's not feeling-your-pain-type empathy — it's just trying to understand how another person thinks. He says if you pitched this kind of thing back in 2003 you’d be shouted down as a 'Saddam apologist' — and he thinks the same is true today when it comes to regimes in China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The two Roberts in today’s episode — Bob Wright and Rob Wiblin — agree that removing this taboo against perspective taking, even with people you consider truly evil, could potentially significantly improve discourse around international relations. They feel that if we could spread the meme that if you’re able to understand what dictators are thinking and calculating, based on their country’s history and interests, it seems like we’d be less likely to make terrible foreign policy errors. But how do you actually do that? Bob’s new ‘Apocalypse Aversion Project’ is focused on creating the necessary conditions for solving non-zero-sum global coordination problems, something most people are already on board with. And in particular he thinks that might come from enough individuals “transcending the psychology of tribalism”. He doesn’t just mean rage and hatred and violence, he’s also talking about cognitive biases. Bob makes the striking claim that if enough people in the U.S. had been able to combine perspective taking with mindfulness — the ability to notice and identify thoughts as they arise — then the U.S. might have even been able to avoid the invasion of Iraq. Rob pushes back on how realistic this approach really is, asking questions like: • Haven’t people been trying to do this since the beginning of time? • Is there a great novel angle that will change how a lot of people think and behave? • Wouldn’t it be better to focus on a much narrower task, like getting more mindfulness and meditation and reflectiveness among the U.S. foreign policy elite? But despite the differences in approaches, Bob has a lot of common ground with 80,000 Hours — and the result is a fun back-and-forth about the best ways to achieve shared goals. Bob starts by questioning Rob about effective altruism, and they go on to cover a bunch of other topics, such as: • Specific risks like climate change and new technologies • How to achieve social cohesion • The pros and cons of society-wide surveillance • How Rob got into effective altruism If you're interested to hear more of Bob's interviews you can subscribe to The Wright Show anywhere you're getting this one.

[1:10] GM's achievements of last year [6:00] The competitive market of EVs [9:35] GM's commitment to carbon neutrality [12:00] Rob's thoughts on the future of renewables [16:00] The role utilities need to play to reach the goal of decarbonization [23:38] Rob's career journey [32:44] How Rob was able to get GM to commit to such a huge goal [43:26] The impact Rob wants to leave on the industry [49:28] Can the transportation industry become carbon neutral? That's something General Motors is going to find out! GM has committed to carbon neutrality by 2040. While this recent announcement is new, it's a representation of the work GM has been doing for years. They've spent the last couple of decades finding ways to reduce carbon emissions. GM had success with EV1 in the 1990s and the Chevy Volt a few years ago. Now the company has decided to go “all-in” on sustainable energy. To accomplish their goal, GM has to move away from the combustion engine. The transportation industry is the largest carbon emitter in the world. Both manufacturing and running a vehicle require a lot of energy. To counter this, GM has a goal of eliminating the combustion engine from their product line by 2035. The potential developments of the next decade are overwhelmingly exciting. Future generations are heading toward an all-electric future, transportation will be cleaner, and new energy solutions will be discovered along the way. Affordable electric vehicles Cost reduction is necessary for an all-electric automobile future. GM is developing a battery that will help by reducing production costs by about 60%. Having lower costs of energy will allow electric vehicles to be priced competitively. That being said, design is the first step in creating a low-cost, versatile product. By developing vehicles with a modular design, GM can allow for adaptability among models. The more interchangeable the technology is, the cheaper products will be to manufacture. The increased interest in the renewable energy movement is spurring more involvement from legislators and utility companies. Laws are being passed that promote green changes. Energy companies are being encouraged by communities to produce clean energy. Across the energy industry, the consensus is to provide a better product for a better environment. Involving those who are outside of the energy industry will accelerate the process toward a greener future. The four pillars of GM's approach GM is focusing on four pillars for renewable energy: energy efficiency, procurement, energy storage, and policies to support the development of renewables. By taking these into account, they've been able to narrow their focus to higher impact areas such as the U.S. and Mexico. Rob used these pillars to better package the idea of committing to 100% renewable energy. GM uses the four pillars as a definition for what renewable energy is. Rather than ending their focus on manufacturing, they want to positively impact all aspects of their production. GM is a great example of a company working to reach above and beyond their typical sphere of influence.  Resources & People Mentioned GM at the Consumer Electronic Show Purdue College of Engineering Connect with Rob Threlkeld LinkedIn Profile On Twitter Rob Threlkeld - Global Manager, Sustainable Energy, Supply & Reliability  Rob Threlkeld is the Global Manager of Sustainable Energy, Supply, and Reliability at General Motors. Threlkeld leads GM's energy procurement efforts including its commitment to meet the electricity needs of its global operations with 100 percent renewable energy by 2040.

Our guest today is Rob Assise, track coach at Homewood-Flossmoor High School.  Rob has 17 years of coaching experience, and has been a regular speaker and writer in the realms of track and field, plyometrics and speed training.  He previously appeared on episode #95 and #196 of the podcast. One of the more fascinating ideas that I’ve been working with over time, as a coach, has been the idea of using a “long-burst” training movement of around 10-30 seconds, to help improve the power output of “short-burst” movements, such as a jump or short sprint.  Dr. Mark Wetzel spoke about this in depth on a recent episode and his take on it has confirmed things that I’ve seen anecdotally for some time, as well as read up on years ago in the mysterious “Greatest Sports Training Book Ever” by “DB Hammer” with the “AN1” and “AN2” bracket systems. Rob has taken those bracket systems and has done some creative training work with them recently, where he has also infused “infinity walks” which Dan Fichter talked about on a recent episode, into the mix.  Rob talks about that today, as well as ways that this concept can be taken creatively for track and field athletes.  In the second half of this show, Rob and I talk plyometric concepts, and how to build bounding and plyometric training “from the feet up” and “from ground contact times upward”.

Timestamps and Main Points 6:35 Catching up with the struggles of being a high school coach in this period of history 9:50 How Rob has been creating workouts with complementary energy system brackets (i.e. a speed-endurance energy system work recovering a sprint system, and vice versa) 18:50 Ideas on how to optimize track and field events based off of game play and opposing energy systems 28:35 How Rob has observed warmup preferences and tendencies based on an athlete’s neurotype 31:35 Rob’s take on teaching bounding and bound progressions, as well as ideas with bounding with different foot strike emphasis 50:05 Using power metrics in conjunction with bounding using the Muscle Lab Contact Grid, as well as contact time based bound teaching ideas 56:55 How Rob manages contact times for depth jumping, hurdle hops and traditional plyometrics 60:40 How Rob’s thoughts on speed training have evolved over the last few years, as well as “bleed” versus “blast” methods in working flying 10 sprints “A typical thing we’ll do right off the bat; we’ll do an altitude drop, something intense, then they’ll go into doing something like a speed Russian lunge for 30 seconds, and then they’ll go into doing an infinity walk, or crawl or carry, for about 90 seconds, and then they’ll do something to failure, like hanging from a bar or doing a cross-crawl superman or something like that; something that falls into one exercise recovering another” “One thing that might be overlooked the most on the infinity walk is the vision component” “I’ve thought about the idea of, do a couple of (high or long) jumps, then go to a basketball court and play 3 on 3 real quick (and then come back to do more jumps)” “We would just give athletes at the start of practice on a Friday an option to do whatever they wanted to do in the warmup.  The type 1’s would always do something where they were competing.  The Type 2’s, it would depend who they were hanging out with.  The type 3 would literally go through the same warmup they would go through every day… if you just give athletes 10 minutes and watch what they do, it tells you basically what they are” “We work heel to toe on a low intensity (to teach bounding)” “I think you have to rotate through the ball of the first metatarsal when you are doing the lateral bound; you are also getting more of the lateral sling involved with it” ...

Joining us on the show all the way from Salt Lake City, Utah, is Rob McNealy.  Rob is a crypto entrepreneur and the host of The Rob McNealy Program, a show where he interviews thought leaders from the fields of entrepreneurship, startups and cryptocurrency.  The universal settlement coinFor the past 18 years, Entrepreneurship has been a part and parcel of Rob’s lifestyle. When starting off as a young entrepreneur in the year 2002, Rob invested his time and focus on a bunch of side hustles, mainly because his aim was to learn, and not earn. And by doing so, establish himself as an expert in the field he would choose to focus on.  Rob’s TUSC cryptocurrency project is actually a 3 year passion project, since he has a day job, where he runs his own forensic consultancy firm.  It's in the nature of an entrepreneur to alway want to be in control of his ventures, but Rob has learnt to have a more open minded and less authoritative approach to his crypto project; mostly due to its decentralized nature as a community project. However, the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry excites him because of its cutting edge technology and uncertainty aspect that tags along with it. It kind of in a way reminds Rob of the rise of the .com era.  How TUSC is different from the other cryptocurrencies. Rob defines TUSC as a cross between a corporation and a non profit.  The major difference between TUSC and other crypts such as Bitcoin, is in the way Rob and his team are marketing their project. They’re pushing for the mass adoption of their crypto as the standard in the US guns industry through advertising strategies like social outreach, educating communities, holding people’s hands throughout the entire experience etc.  Also, unlike most Crypto startups, TUSC isn’t just composed of engineers and developers, Rob’s team is a mixed variation of individuals from different professions and walks of life, all with the sole aim of getting a pool of different viewpoints  on how to further develop, market and scale their operations.  Why Rob and his team decided to focus on one industry. Just like Jeff Bezos picked books over e-commerce in starting and growing Amazon, is the same way Rob and his team analysed the different US markets i.e; gambling, pornograph, cannabis, CBD, pawn shops, payday lenders, refugees and immigrants before deciding to pick the US gun industry. They figured they’d settle on this because it was the only one in their list of options which is not only constitutionally protected,  but rakes in an annual revenue of  $50 billion+ Rob’s SuperpowerNow 48. Rob’s superpower is learning to be patient and focusing on the right niche.  Rob is also damn good at networking and building new relationships too. Rob’s networking outreach demands of him to look at the different ways that a project will result in a win-win for everyone involved before even making his proposal.   Rob’s full proof advice for success when you’re starting up in a new venture; When getting into a new market, look for the past, or current president of the biggest trade association in the market industry. Reach out to them and humbly request them to be on the board of advisors, praise them, and give them great incentives in terms of good pay and the role they’ll play in your new start up.  Timestamps02:32 About TUSC04:15 It’s a new era. A cryptocurrency era07:54 How cryptocurrency is evolving13:09 Difference between TUSC and bitcoin16:21 How TUSC has grown over the years20:09 Why Cryptos haven’t been growing as projected24:31 How Rob analysed the market before picking a niche30:27 Why Rob and his team chose the Gun Industry in the Us33:27 How they’re solving problems in the Gun Industry.37:10 Their plan to branch into other markets39:28 How you can use their cryptocurrency 42:23 The power of networking. Quotes•I had a bunch of side hustles when I started off as an entrepreneur. So that’s my advice for the ones starting, don’t just throw all your dice and eggs in one basket, start side hustles and learn from them first. •The shift that the worldwide webb made for ecommerce and retail in general, is the same paradigm shift that cryptos are making for the finance, payments and banking systems.  •The indicators for growth are different In relevance to the industry you’re in and the milestones you’re trying to achieve. And for us, it’s all about getting real actual users. •As an entrepreneur, I have to know what problem I’m solving even before  I think of investing in a startup. The reason a lot of cryptocurrencies haven’t grown is that they mostly consist of developers and engineers who aren’t experienced, and don’t like the topics of sales, marketing and business development.  Connect with RobWebsite - https://robmcnealy.com/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/RobMcNealy/Twitter - https://twitter.com/robmcnealyInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/robmcnealyactual/Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1445330317 #shahiddurrani #robmcnealy #superentrepreneurs #cryptocurrency #crypto

Zillow started out as a listing portal or syndication site. But the company has evolved to become… Well, we’re actually not sure what to call it anymore. Perhaps ‘the Amazon of real estate’ is most appropriate. And on September 23, 2020, the company announced that it’s hiring employee-agents to streamline the iBuyer process. So, if Zillow is a brokerage now, what does that mean for the industry?   On this episode of the podcast, Rob and Greg are discussing Zillow’s decision to take its iBuyer operations in-house and how that move will impact other aspects of organized real estate. Our hosts explore how MLSs might respond to having Zillow as members and describe how access to MLS data could change the consumer experience on the Zillow site.   Rob and Greg go on to consider the impact of Zillow being part of NAR and state and local associations, weighing in on how their participation can be seen as a win for the industry. Listen in for insight on how Zillow’s announcement demonstrates their commitment to becoming an iBuyer-brokerage and learn how Zillow entering the system might lead to an improvement for everyone—or a ‘horror show.’   What’s Discussed:    The evolution of listing portals into brokerage and iBuyer hybrid models How Rob and Greg define brokerages differently Zillow’s decision to use employee-agents to bring its iBuyer operations in-house How MLSs are likely to respond to having Zillow as members Rob’s theory on how Zillow might reposition its Industry Relations team The potential impact of Zillow being part of NAR as well as state and local associations How to access to MLS IDX data and VOW rules could transform the consumer experience on Zillow The leverage Zillow has in getting information from smaller MLSs What makes Zillow’s shift a WIN for humans (and organized real estate)   Connect with Rob and Greg: Rob’s Website Greg’s Website   Resources: Opendoor vs. Zillow on Industry Relations EP050 Greg’s Blog Post on BPP Rob’s Blog Post on Zillow Stop Zillow Campaign Greg on Twitter CLAW’s Delay to Syndication Feeds REALTOR Political Action Committee NAR’s Rules on Virtual Office Website The 2008 DOJ-NAR Settlement Agreement ‘It’s a Good Life’ Episode of Twilight Zone ‘A Trifecta!

SUMMARY: The DYB Podcast is connecting with our mates Down Under as we bring you Rob Vuckovic, owner of Fusion Painting in Canberra, Australia! Rob shares many mindset changes he went through after starting his business, Fusion Painting. Like many of us, he learned painting from his father, but unlike many of us, his dad had him working from the age of 12 so that he would be persuaded to never paint, but to work hard in school and avoid manual labor and get an office job. Rob’s father taught him how to work hard and he excelled. Rob became a mechanical engineer only to hate it and want nothing more than to be out painting. Rob then worked for his dad until his dad recommended he start his own company, which Rob willingly and excitedly did. Feeling like he couldn’t fail, he took on what he thought was the best job and best market for him on millionaires lane—only to find it was nightmare lane. After losing $27,000 on that job, receiving no referrals, and not even being remembered by the home owner, he went to work for many GC’s. Having an awful time with them, his amazing paint rep help him and told him he should break into the residential market (avoiding the Big House on the Hill clients from then on!). This was one of many mindset changes or mind-shifts Rob went through and he shares them with us today. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Many mindset changes for Rob that we can, no doubt, relate to, including: from painter to business man How Rob curates his culture amongst his team How Rob pre-sells so that the estimate is almost sold before he gets there What Rob does to focus on the customer experience, leading to Endless Referrals, as Bob Burg taught him The importance of following up and how his mindset changed from dreading it, to feeling helpful in doing so How Rob takes lessons from Jacko Willink's on Extreme Ownership and applies them to his company Rob's mindset change from Superman Complex to Delegator and how that builds up his team and morale in his company QUOTES: 09:14 "After a little while, I was able to join a group and learn about the business side of painting. That was the thing that was a real mind shift: learning about knowing your numbers, understanding a profit and loss, understanding how to track jobs and learn costs and things like that, learn how to read a balance sheet, print out a profit and loss statement at the end of every month and read it and study it and understand it. That was really the shift, the transition from a craftsman painter into a businessman." 12:05 "I think it was Richard Branson who said, "Look after your staff and they'll look after your customers." And really, really the team is everything to our business and it should be to everyone else's business. They are really the engine room of the business. You know, I go out and sell a job and do all that and generate leads and stuff, but really, at the end of the day, if you can't produce a job, you're not gonna make any money. So these guys are out there, they're at the coalface, really producing the job. They are the ones who are interacting with our customers day to day, they are the face of your business. They're the guys that have got the branding on the tee shirts, branding on the vans. They are really everything in a business, you know, without them, we don't have a business really. ... Really that is so important to me that's where the company culture has to come into it. So it's strong, it's a very strong thing. And I've always, always, always valued that." 12:58 "(Following Up) This is something you read about in books, back when I started, many years ago: follow up, follow up, follow up. It was something that I was resistant to do. I could have given you 20 reasons why. I didn't want to do it. It was only when I had people come over and bid to do things around my own home. And the guys that followed up, it really, really left an impression on me. And that was it. That was my mind shift. The way I felt when I got followed up, because I almost (used to feel) it was a bit cheesy or a bit almost like a used car salesman thing, but really, it's the way you do it. And these people will follow me up because they were genuinely interested in the job. It really left a great impression on me. And I tell you from that moment, I'm following up."

“I'm living a life that I absolutely love. I'm surrounded by a tribe of people that I absolutely love, just simply because I started with the, "What if?"Rob was an abandoned child. As a baby, he was raised by his four-year-old sister until a white, Moron family adopted them both. Raised by a loving family in a predominantly middle-class white community, Rob endured racial abuse. He was spat on, called names, and beat up. The feeling of not belonging would not go away. He eventually found an outlet for his anger and confusion in sport. On the court or field, race and color didn’t matter and after achieving a scholarship to play football at Utah, he thought his life would start working out. But despite being around black people for the first time, he still didn’t fit in. Rob sunk into a dark depression and began fantasizing about how he’d end his life. He hit rock bottom in his mid-30s when everything fell apart. His marriage ended, his start-up failed, and he was done with the pain. But something told him to put down the gun... “The life I'm living now, at one time, was just a fantasy.” Rob’s suicide attempt became a powerful catalyst that turned his life around. By deciding he wanted to live, Rob discovered the strength to embrace his blank canvas. At the time, he had no idea who he was, but he was committed to figuring it out. Trauma makes your scope narrow; healing creates a new perspective that brings forth better opportunities and options. Free of dogma and the need to fulfil family traditions, Rob was able to define himself. In the process, he discovered his dream career, his purpose, and a sense of belonging. Now, Rob is an empowerment coach who works off feeling and intuition; truly identifying where his clients want to go and what they want to accomplish. He calls his work Warrior Work, which is all about identifying who you truly are. Rob’s story is a powerful reminder that where you start doesn’t have to be where you end up.

There are some similarities between right now and 2008 when the liquidity was sucked out of Wall Street, but there are also some key differences. Rob Swanson and I have both navigated one crash before, and Rob’s spent a lot of time looking for patterns in previous market crashes. Getting back to real estate fundamentals is going to help you navigate this crazy market. Because the market’s been good for so long, some mediocre real estate investors have managed to look good. A great market makes everyone look good. Ask yourself the classic real estate question as you approach any deal, “How do I make money with this?”. Don’t buy without solid numbers to back up that deal. Make offers, make more offers, make lower offers, make better offers. Don’t stop making offers because of fear. Just adjust your offers. All of your old leads become new again as potential sellers start to feel the urge to sell-off. I’m seeing leads from 9 months ago calling me up again, ready to unload their properties, so I urge you to utilize your CRMs to follow up on all of your old leads. Instead of buying for equity, in a boom-bust market, Rob’s focused on stable markets and he explains why that is. But his idea of stable markets may differ from yours. He goes looking for neighborhoods that are about 50-80% tenant-occupied. These numbers are important because Rob is looking for a very specific kind of house in a very specific kind of neighborhood. You don’t need to be scared about where the market’s heading. There will continue to be opportunities all over, but you may need to get creative about financing, or creative about finding your deals. Use solid data from something like Freedom Soft and REI Simple to find and track your deals, and you will come out on top.

Do the 7 Day Paleo Reset   Founder of the Clean Program and Author of both, Clean, and his latest, Clean 7, Dr. Alejandro Junger, joins me this week to share the power of an elimination diet, his 5 R's to live a healthy life, and how to detox not just your nutrition but your environment and habits too. Join us in this podcast episode as Rob and Dr. Junger discuss: His 5 R's to living a healthier life: Remove, Reinoculation, Restore, Repair, and Relaxation. How to clean out your kitchen and start eating fresh for your health. Steps to start removing toxins from your gut, environment, and even thoughts. What it means if your body isn't properly sweating. What foods and supplements you should consume during an elimination diet. How to stay anchored in the present moment no matter what you're doing. We also had a good talk about a question from one of my clients, "How can I heal my eczema?"    Clean 7 by Dr. Alejandro Junger Click here to get your copy of Clean 7 by Dr. Alejandro Junger The New York Times best-selling doctor and author of Clean shows us that it doesn't matter where you live, how old you are, or what symptoms you suffer from, in seven days, you can change the course of your health forever. The culmination of over 30 years of research, education, and practice, Dr. Alejandro Junger's revolutionary, seven-day program is based around the core principles of functional medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, and intermittent fasting. Each one of these practices alone can have positive and lasting effects, but when used together, they propel the body to health, weight-loss, symptom-reversal, and restoration. The air we breathe, the water we drink and bathe in, the skin products we use, the detergents we clean with, the medications we take, but mostly the foods we eat, are loaded with toxic chemicals that cause all kinds of dysfunctions. We know this, but we feel powerless to control the effects - constipation, body aches and pains, allergies, migraines, stubborn weight, sleeplessness, depression, and anxiety, to name a few. In time and left unabated, these symptoms develop into full blown diseases, many of them life-altering, but even in the best-case scenario, they leave us uncomfortable and unwell. CLEAN 7 is the medically-proven seven-day answer to this toxic overload. The one-week program you'll discover in this audiobook offers day-by-day, hour-by-hour guidance with easy-to-follow meal plans and delicious recipes that guarantee success.     Dr. Alejandro Junger Founder of the Clean Program, Dr. Alejandro Junger was born in Uruguay. He graduated from medical school there in 1990 and moved to New York City for his postgraduate training. The drastic change in lifestyle and diet resulting from his move to New York City soon showed up as irritable bowel syndrome and depression. Becoming a patient of the system he was practicing was such a shock, that it started his journey in search of an alternative solution to his health problems. His findings are the subject of his first book, "Clean: The Revolutionary Program To Restore the Body’s Natural Ability to Heal Itself", where Dr. Junger describes how he became aware of the toxicity of our planet. "Clean" is a manual for readers to learn how to turn on and work with their own detoxification systems to restore and maintain optimal health.   Claim Your FREE Bacon + $10 Off With Our Sponsor - ButcherBox That's right!

I KNOW I ALWAYS SAY I'M EXCITED ABOUT EACH EPISODE OF THE SCHOOL OF GREATNESS.But I’m REALLY excited about this episode.And not just because the guest is another Ohio boy! (But I wore one of my best Ohio shirts and hats when he came by the studio.)You probably already know him from his multiple hit shows on MTV. Or from his long list of world records in skateboarding. Or for his incredible branding with labels like DC shoes.Even if you’ve somehow never heard of Rob Dyrdek, you’re in for a huge treat.Rob is cool for many reasons. But I literally couldn’t stop asking him questions during this interview because he is so SMART when it comes to business, entrepreneurship, focus, habits, and vision. Just a few of my favorite things
