Going, whoa, gung ho gung ho, I guess let's just start off because I'm sure most people are familiar with you, but why don't you introduce yourself?Sure. I am, uh, a part-time or [00:01:00] adjunct professor of us history at San Jacinto college, which is in Pasadena, Texas. That's just south and east of Houston. And I've been teaching for oh gosh, six or seven years now. And I'm just a huge history fanatic. I've been a history level all my life. I started a Facebook group back in 2016 called American history fanatics, and it's grown to about 5,500 people and we have some really good discussions there and posts about all kinds of things related to us history or American history.I also have done a few podcasts. Probably most of the listeners have heard one or more of them, but I've done four limited series with Scott rank who also does the history of unplugged podcast and other great one. We did, uh, let's see presidential fight club in 2017 key battles of the civil war in 2018 key battles of the revolutionary war in 2019 and key battles of world war II in 2020.And then. [00:02:00] Finally says, uh, get out of here, do your own podcast in a polite way, but he gave me the opportunity to have my own solo podcasts. So I did. And of course, uh, one of the first things I did was invite Scott back on to be my partner again, just for awhile. We're, we're, I'm going to work with a partner, uh, but different partners, you know, just kind of mix it up a little bit, get different voices in there.So the, the podcast is called key battles of American history. And my intention is to do several seasons and each season will be either. One particular war or on films. I'm a huge film buffets. I mean, you know that you are too. And so I like to talk about war films or just history related films in Gerald.They don't have to be about war necessarily, but so when I kicked off the key battles of American history podcast, I started with a series called key our world war one on film. And I brought in Sean MacGyver, uh, formerly of [00:03:00] the come and take it podcast. And Sean and I talked about 10 different world war, one movies.Now, as we record this, we're in July of 2021. We, uh, I'm doing a series on the, the Pacific war. So it's key battles of the Pacific theater world war II. And then I'm going to do a world war two on film, Pacific theater, only at least for now series. And this will probably be part of that series. I'll probably run this with that series.So I've been really busy the last several years. Yeah. Let's, let's get this whole thing started by maybe just giving us the broad overview of this, make an island rate, but this film is based upon, okay. I can do that. Let's let's back up a step if I may though. And let's just talk about what we're Marine Raiders in general, not really that many people know anything about the Marine Raiders.The Marine Raiders were America's very first special forces unit. At least I'm going to call them that somebody will probably say, [00:04:00] wait, wait, what about so-and-so? But, but the first major. Special forces unit. They were conceived of actually, as early as the 1930s, there were two men in particular that were the, I guess the fathers of this idea, they were Lieutenant Colonel Marat Edson also called Mike Mike Edson.And even more importantly, Lieutenant Colonel Evans Carlson, uh, both of these men were Marine officers who had served in world war one. And then they had spent time in some of the so-called banana wars in the central American and Caribbean islands during the 1920s and thirties. Uh, they'd served in Nicaragua.Uh, see, I, I think that's the only one Nicaragua I might be wrong. I know Carlson was also in the Mexican punitive expedition when Pershing was down there searching for poncho via, and both men had also been in. And they had observed, although they observed [00:05:00] very different things. The, uh, the well Mike Edson, he was observing the Japanese forces while the Japanese were fighting the Chinese.I mean, he was, he was stationed with the Chinese, but he focused more on Japanese tactics and learning their system. Carlson was very different. Evans Carlson actually hung out with the communists. He was, uh, he actually got to know Moussa dong and some of his top leaders, he hung out, hung out with the eighth rout army.And he was very impressed by the tactics used by the Chinese communist guerrillas to fight Japanese troops from the communist cross and learn the phrase gung ho, which means work in harmony or work together. And Carlson kind of adopted these kind of left wing political views. He was seen by many. Top brass of the Marine Corps is soft on communism.I think that's a phrase that was later brought into a currency, but, but he would have been, they would have applied that term to him. One, one Marine general said [00:06:00] he may be red, but he's not yellow. So both of these men were very interesting and, uh, very interested in taking the tactics that they have to observe and applying them to the Marines and Carlson, especially came up with this idea, uh, that it would be helpful to have highly trained elite, special forces units who could sneak a shore on Japanese held islands because everybody knew even by the late thirties, the war with Japan was very likely.So these guys, they would make raids and gather intelligence about the islands and Japanese forces there just kind of go in search and destroy, blow stuff up, raise as much hell as possible and then get out. And they would be modeled after British commandos. You could also think about today's Navy seals, army Rangers, things like that, but they didn't have those bags.And, uh, there was some opposition to this idea, one very influential Marine commander, general Alexander Vandergrift, who was the overall commander of the invasion of Guadalcanal. He didn't [00:07:00] like the idea of an elite unit within the Marines. He and others thought that all Marines relate forces. I mean, think about the Marines are supposed to be the, the tough guys.

In 1914 Chesterton is stricken by a mysterious illness that puts him in a weakened state and mostly in a coma for almost five months. When he reawakens, the world is still at war, and he begins writing about the war and in support of the war effort, and in criticism of the war too. His brother Cecil goes off to war, and unfortunately dies, crushing Gilbert.   Gilbert goes on lecture tours to Ireland, Jerusalem and then America, giving a huge number of speeches. His father dies, another blow for Gilbert. He finally decides to convert, even without Frances, proving, to Father O’Connor, that he was really doing God’s will. For the first time, the BBC broadcasts a speech Gilbert makes at a restaurant. His book St. Francis of Asissi is published to great acclaim and becomes a best seller. He begins publishing his own paper, G.K.’s Weekly, and we’ll talk more about that next time as we get into the Distributist League.   There were six works—one book and five pamphlets— specifically written as propaganda for the war and they are:   The Barbarism of Berlin (free on Project Gutenberg) Prussian v. Belgian Culture (pamphlet) Letters to an Old Garibaldian (CW 5) The Crimes of England (CW 5) (book) The Martyrdom of Belgium (pamphlet) 9 pages How to Help Annexation (CW 5)   His volumes of ILN columns during the war years are in Collected Works Volume 30 which covers 1914-1916 Volume 31 covers 1917-1919 Wade Center: https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/academic-centers/wadecenter/ Chesterton.org uncommonsensepodcast@gmail.com

Keeping in touch and building bonds with people takes communication, patience and dedication. In business and in your personal life consistency in communication is a must. My guest today has a network of 5,000 lawyers to communicate with. She says that there are many ways to communicate with people if you take the time and put in the effort.  Lindsay Griffiths is the International Lawyers Network Director of Global Relationship Management. She works closely with the Network’s Executive Director on oversight and management of day to day operations of the ILN.  In her role, she develops and facilitates relationships among INL member firm lawyers at 90+ law firms in 67 countries. She seeks opportunities for member firms to build business and relationships while ensuring member participation in Network events and initiatives. Today we talk about how relationships are needed at every level and what we do now can ensure that we have the best people around us later. We also chat about how her future promotion is affecting the people around her and how having a tribe of good people in your circle can keep you on track. Show Notes [02:39] Lindsay Griffiths started her path to Global Relationship Management when she asked the Executive Director, her father, if she could work with him at ILN. [04:53] To maintain a good relationship with your members it takes consistency. You must know, like and trust each other for it to work. [06:09] Everyone is busy, prioritize what is important. When you make people feel important, they are more willing to create that level of business that is important to you. [08:05] In relationships with clients communication and responsiveness are key. Clients want to hear from you. Even if the news is bad, communicating the issues and having a plan to fix it is always better than silence. [11:48] They encourage everyone to use as many different types of communications as possible. There are 5,000 lawyers in the International Lawyers Network (ILN) all over the world, so many different types of communication are utilized. [13:26] They use all of the social media channels now, 10 years ago they only used LinkedIn. It’s been a long road but now there are lawyers even on Facebook. [14:32] Being a woman in a man's world is challenging some days. She says it’s harder in the US than it is internationally. [15:22] There is a women's group in the ILN, they just had their biggest showing at a conference, 30% of the attendees were women. [15:53] Lindsay is being promoted to Executive Director, there was some push back but the majority of people have been very supportive. [17:16] She feels like she has to prove herself but it just might be because she hasn’t really promoted herself the way men do. Because she is taking over from her father some might not think she can do it until she is in the role. [22:44] When men promote themselves they are seen as go-getters. When women promote themselves they are seen as showy or bragging too much. [24:50] She recommends that you have a very strong support network of women who want the best for you and will give you honest feedback. It can be very tough to find those kinds of women but keep looking because you will find your tribe. [27:03] Don’t be afraid to stop being friends with someone who isn’t a fit for you, if they don’t support you or have your best interests at heart you don’t need them.   [29:52] She is a photographer so when she isn’t working she is taking pictures of animals and posting them on Instagram. She also enjoys crocheting hats for cancer patients because cancer has affected her family. [33:18] A fear of failure is what Lindsay says gets her up in the morning. She is a perfectionist and loves the idea of figuring out how to better help her lawyers collaborate and layer relationships. [35:52] Social media for her is about relationships if you are careful, it can be a good tool.   [37:28] She spends about 2 hours a day on social media. She used to use it more but now she has someone managing social media for her. [38:24] She goes to at least one industry conference a year to keep up with the changes in the industry, she also reads a lot to see what other industries are doing to get ideas. [40:02] Lindsay’s advice for building and maintaining really important bonds is consistency, make sure the people you want to be close to are being communicated with on a daily basis, reach out, stay in touch so they know that they are a priority to you.

Welcome to the Design Thinking podcast! I'm Dawan Stanford, your host. Today I'm interviewing Chris McCarthy. He is the Vice President of Strategy & Design at Hopelab where he is excited to deepen its impact on the health and wellness of young people through design and systems thinking. He is also the Executive Director and Founder of the Innovation Learning Network. Today we explore the different pathways of healthcare and the effect of design thinking on the healthcare industry, the beginnings of design thinking in the healthcare industry and why design thinking is so challenging to implement in the field of healthcare. One of the most important factors for Chris was to not put the Innovation and Design team out front first. Putting the Innovation and design team out first “triggers the immune system of the organization” as the team is so different from the other sections of the company. He explains why he had the innovation and design team behind the scenes when working with staff members. Chris and I talk about the subtle dance of support and help, along with people being able to tell their story with their voice for the staff to have a say and a stake in the process of development in the design innovation realm. We'll also dig into his projet, Hopelab which is a social innovation lab focused on designing science-based technologies to improve the health and well-being of teens and young adults.

He is also the Executive Director and Founder of the Innovation Learning Network. Today we explore the different pathways of healthcare and the effect of design thinking on the healthcare industry, the beginnings of design thinking in the healthcare industry and why design thinking is so challenging to implement in the field of healthcare. One of the most important factors for Chris was to not put the Innovation and Design team out front first. Putting the Innovation and design team out first “triggers the immune system of the organization” as the team is so different from the other sections of the company. He explains why he had the innovation and design team behind the scenes when working with staff members. Chris and I talk about the subtle dance of support and help, along with people being able to tell their story with their voice for the staff to have a say and a stake in the process of development in the design innovation realm. We’ll also dig into his projet, Hopelab which is a social innovation lab focused on designing science-based technologies to improve the health and well-being of teens and young adults.

If you know anything about Rainmaker Digital and Copyblogger, you may know that we produce incredible live events. Some would say that we produce incredible live events as an excuse to throw great parties, but that’s another story. We’ve got another one coming up this October in Denver, it’s called Digital Commerce Summit. It is entirely focused on giving you the smartest ways to create and sell digital products and services. You can find out more and get a killer early bird price on your tickets at Rainmaker.FM/summit. That’s Rainmaker.FM/summit. We’ll be talking about Digital Commerce Summit in more detail as it gets closer, but for now I’d like to let a few attendees from our past events speak for us. Attendee 1: For me, it’s just hearing from the experts. This is my first industry event, so it’s awesome to learn new stuff and also get confirmation that we’re not doing it completely wrong where I work. Attendee 2: The best part of the conference, for me, is being able to mingle with people and realize that you have connections with everyone here. It feels like LinkedIn live. I also love the parties after each day, being able to talk to the speakers, talk to other people who are here for the first time, people who’ve been here before. Attendee 3: I think the best part of the conference, for me, is understanding how I can service my customers a little more easily. Seeing all the different facets and components of various enterprises then helps me pick the best tools. Jerod Morris: Hey, we agree. One of the biggest reasons we host the conference every year is so that we can learn how to service our customers — people like you — more easily. Here are just a few more words from folks who have come to our past live events. Attendee 4: It’s really fun. I think it’s a great mix of beginner information and advanced information. I’m really learning a lot and having a lot of fun. Attendee 5: The conference is great, especially because it’s a single-track conference where you don’t get distracted by “Which session should I go to?” And, “Am I missing something?” Attendee 6: The training and everything — the speakers have been awesome — but I think the coolest aspect for me has been connecting with both people who are putting it on and then the other attendees. Jerod Morris: That’s it for now. There’s a lot more to come on Digital Commerce Summit. I really hope to see you there in October. Again, to get all the details and the very best deal on tickets, head over to Rainmaker.FM/summit. That’s Rainmaker.FM/summit.

All right. We are rolling with a very special guest on the podcast today, Mr. Kevin Kelly. Thank you so much for dropping by to talk to us about your process as a writer. Kevin Kelly: It’s my pleasure and privilege. Thanks for having me. Kelton Reid: I understand you’re doing the rounds. You’re just out there and talking about this fantastic new book, The Inevitable. Kevin Kelly: Actually, I’m more like the sun in the center, because the way we’re doing podcasts is I’m here sitting at my studio and everyone’s coming to me. Kelton Reid: Yeah, it’s got to be nice to not have to travel — at least for this part of the journey. Kevin Kelly: Yeah. It’s the future, man. Kelton Reid: Let’s talk a little bit about that. I want to just mention that you are having quite a bit of success so far with the new one. It is titled The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our World. It’s good stuff. It’s heady, but it’s already hitting New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-sellers lists. How an Amateur Photographer Became a Bestselling Author and Digital Visionary Kelton Reid: You’ve written a lot of other stuff — you’re an author — many, many books. You’ve been a travel journalist, I understand. An editor of a handful of important publications including The Whole Earth Review way back and Co-Founder and now Senior Maverick of Wired Magazine. That’s pretty cool. Lots of other stuff in between. I want to talk a little bit about your origins and how you went from those early days of maybe not knowing you were going to be a writer, to today being a best-selling author. Kevin Kelly: Yeah, I definitely did not identify or even dream of being a writer. That was not something that I was aiming for. I actually started off as a photographer. I still think very visually in those terms. I came to writing, actually, online. I’d learned to write online on the very early bulletin boards in the early ’80s. I discovered that I had a telegraphic style that was very suited for online discourse. I was not attempting to write. I was just attempting to communicate — just email or postings. We would now think of them as comments, blog postings, that kind of stuff. That’s where I started. I wasn’t even thinking of it as writing then. It was just communicating. My natural instincts are not actually in writing, but more in editing. Not the line editing and copyediting, but more editing in terms of packaging ideas. Particularly packaging ideas that had a visual component — a diagram, picture, charts — graphic design of the whole thing. That led me to magazines where I am now. I was magazine junkie growing up as a kid, in part because my dad actually worked for Time Life company. Kelton Reid: Cool. Kevin Kelly: Every week he brought home — every Monday he brought home this stack of magazines. I have been reading Time and Fortune Magazine since I was the age of 10. All the others at that time — the suite included Sports Illustrated, Money Magazine, Life Magazine — I read them all. I loved them. I thought in those terms, and later started working on magazines. Not so much in the writing department, but more in the editing or what we might call these days curation. I was curating articles. I wrote out of desperation, basically. The short answer is I would try and make assignments. Try to get other people to write. Have ideas and have other people try to write them. I would go through and ideas that I tried to get other people to write for years and then kept coming back as something that no one wanted to do. I would try to kill off the idea in my own mind, but it’d come back. I couldn’t get someone to write it. Those are the ideas that I couldn’t give away that I would eventually end up writing myself. There are two lessons in that. One was I realized that I could write if I had to. Secondly, the pieces that I did write that way were the best ones because no one else could write them. There was this discovery that what I really want to do was to do things that only I could do. Part of that process — which I still adhere to today — is to talk about what I’m thinking about doing. To talk about what I am doing in the hopes of someone else either stealing the idea and doing it before me or else tell me that they’re already working on it or that it has already been done, which is always a great relief. I don’t really want to have to do it. I only want to do stuff that no one else can do. Kelton Reid: Cool, yeah. I like that a lot. You just had this very interesting circuitous route to where you are today. You’re a world traveler and a TED speaker and a digital visionary, I guess would be one term to use. Where can listeners find the bulk of your writing out there? I know there’s a lot. Kevin Kelly: Yeah, I have a website and a early domain name. It’s my initials, kk.org. I post most of the stuff there. For instance, a lot of this book and a lot of my previous book was first written as blog posts and then rewritten for the book. There’s a lot of stuff there on the website that has not been published elsewhere, like “1,000 True Fans,” which people still enjoy. There’s that. There’s a link to the other site that I’m still active with with Mark Frauenfelder, the founder of Boing Boing, who has actually worked with me at Wired. We run Cool Tools, which is a site that recommends and reviews one cool tool — in the broader sense of something handy — every weekday for the past 13, no 16 years, something crazy. Kelton Reid: Yeah, I love that site. Kevin Kelly: There’s other stuff there. I did a graphic novel with a bunch of people from Pixar and ILN. We spent 11 years on it. It’s this massive, immense 500-page, oversize book that’s about angels and robots and trying to say what would happen if robots had souls. I have a site that reviews the best documentaries. I have my photography site, which is probably closest to my heart because it’s a total compulsion. There’s no reason why I should be spending so much time still, today, in Asia photographing the disappearing traditions. I do it because I have to. All those kinds of things are there. Books, my translations of the various editions are also available, probably other stuff I’m forgetting about right now. Oh yes, Street Use was another blog I ran. I haven’t updated it forever. I was collecting the ways in which people would make homegrown adaptations or modifications to technology, like weird vehicles in China — just odd things. How they made technology in prison. There was really cool stuff that I just neglected because of doing other stuff. That’s actually pertinent to this book, The Inevitable. Part of what I look at in trying to see where our technology is going, is looking at where it is evolving unsupervised. If you want to see the true behavior of something, look at it where they’re not being supervised. You can see what’s really happening. Technology being misused, abused, or unsupervised — like with outlaws, or the kids, or the street — is one way that I use to see where it wants to go to. Where it’s tending to go to beyond what the inventors think it should do. The street use, the street technology — as Bill Gibson says, “The street has its own use.” I think that’s, to me, a very valuable place to look to see what technology wants. Kelton Reid: Yeah, I’ve heard you talk about slang as being a marker for that as well. I think you’re kind of a word nerd as well. I know in the opening of What Technology Wants you talk about the origins of the word, technology, which I thought was cool — dating back to Aristotle’s rhetoric. Kevin Kelly: It actually was a word, by the way, that was not really used and re-made in the 1820’s, or something. It had been neglected for all that time. It took us a long time to even recognize technology in our lives, which seems strange to us now. That’s how things happen. The Future of Artificial Intelligence Kevin Kelly: I know that, to me, one of the big things coming — I mean big on the level like the invention of printing, industrial revolution big — is the artificial intelligence stuff that’s coming. We’re going to look back and realize that we were so ignorant about intelligence. Intelligence is not a single thing. We’ll realize that there’s all these different varieties, nodes, styles, species of thinking. Right now we use one word when we talk about intelligence. We’re actually meaning probably 5, or 6, or 10, or 1,000 different things. We lack the conceptual tools, the data, the vocabulary to talk about it in any other level of precision right now. I would expect in 20 years from now that we’ll be much better informed. We’ll have a whole new lingo for talking about the varieties of smartness. Kelton Reid: Yeah. You get into that in your book. You talk about cognifying. In layman’s terms, that’s the AI piece. Is that right? Kevin Kelly: Correct. It’s my coinage. Cognifying is making things smarter. It’s because we don’t have other good English words for that. We don’t call it smartifying, or smarting, or something. I use cognifying to make smarter. Kelton Reid: I wish we did use smartifying. Kevin Kelly: Yeah, exactly. Kelton Reid: I think that would be a good domain. Someone needs to pick that up now. What are you working on now? Are you working on a book about AI — it sounds like that’s where most of your interest lies at the moment — or are you working on something different? Kevin Kelly: I’m not on AI. That’s a full-time beat for somebody. There are increasing numbers of people … I’ll answer the question, but there is a nice aside — I make the analogy in the book of the way that artificial energy was distributed on a grid of electricity to everybody, all their homes, factories, farmsteads. Anybody could purchase electricity, artificial power, and you’d have this industrial revolution where you take X and add electricity and you’d have an electric pump. So you’d take a manual pump and make electric. You’d have a electric pump. You’d multiply that by thousands of times. You’d have the industrial revolution. Now we’re going to we’re going to do the same thing with AI, artificial smartness, which will be sold over a grid called a cloud. Anybody who wanted to buy AI will buy it like they would buy electricity off of the grid as a commodity utility. You would apply the AI that you buy to anything, any X. You would take the electric pump and then you would cognify it. Everything that we electrified, we would cognify. What was interesting — it was hundreds of years ago when electricity was coming onto the grid. It was so complicated and dangerous and mysterious, that they had Vice Presidents of Electricity in companies, the person in charge of electrifying things. I think we’re going to have VPs of AI, VPs of machine learning, whatever it is, for the foreseeable future until it becomes boring and standard and then we’ll drop it. There will this period where there’ll be specialists in bringing AI to it, just like we had VPs of electricity. Now I’ve forgotten what your question was. Kelton Reid: What’s your most recent project? Kevin Kelly: The next thing I’m working on with my assistant researcher, Camille, we are putting together, collecting — she’s mostly doing the collecting of all the existing long-term forecasts in all the different domains, from energy, transportation, food, sports, furnishings, whatever it is. We’re looking at anybody who’s producing a long-term forecast. My intention is to integrate those into cohesive, plausible future for, say, 2050 or something about then. To build a world based on these official forecasts, which are generally always wrong. The idea is that, like a lot of complex systems, you can take a lot of unreliable parts and you make something reliable. The magic of complex systems is that you can make things more reliable than the parts. Literally, the old saw about the sum being greater that the parts is actually true. Neurons and brains are that way. They’re much more, as a whole, reliable than the individual parts are. Bee hives and other kinds of things exhibit the same kind of a phenomena. The idea is if we took these forecasts — which independently are not very reliable — but can somehow integrate them into a system so that they’re informing each other, that there might be a way to make it more reliable and useful. The idea is to try to make a comprehensive scenario of the future that might prove useful to people in some capacity. It’s an experiment. It could fail. That’s the beauty of it. That’s what we’re working on right now. How a Technologist Keeps His Finger on the Pulse of the Future Kelton Reid: Sounds really cool. It sounds like a lot data. You have a researcher it sounds like. I would like to dig into your productivity a little bit and the writing process itself. It sounds like you revealed that you’re getting a lot of the number crunching and the research done. You have someone helping you do that. There’s still probably quite a bit that you have to crunch down yourself, or turn over in your mind and remix, etc. Are you spending a certain amount of time just reading every day? Kevin Kelly: I try to. As I said, I’m a magazine junkie. My tendency is to read magazines, and journals, and some papers. I would like to read more books. I’m surrounded by a two-story library right now. I would like to dedicate more of my time to reading books. What happens is that there’s so many magazine articles to read. They seem to be a little bit more current and faster paced so they tend to push out my book reading time. I listen to a lot of books on tape, but most of that — or at least half of that — is fiction. That’s how I get my fiction done. That even has been somewhat eroded by my interest in podcasts. A lot of the audible book time is now going to podcasts, which I also am a big fan of. I do spend a lot of time reading. That’s one of my privileges and blessings, that I do have the ability to make time for that. That’s an extremely important part of my day. The input is reading papers and articles. The other thing is trying to talk to people on the phone, which is, to me, the second most important way I get what I get, which is actually in conversation. People just tell you things. It’s a very high signal to noise ratio of input. It’s high quality. Generally, people can be more direct in what they tell you. The conversation can guide to the kind of information I’m looking for very fast. It’s a very effective way to learn something. Kelton Reid: Yeah, that’s cool. It sounds like you’ve got a system down that’s helping you keep your finger on the pulse. Before you launch into a bigger project, do you have to psych yourself up to sit down to write? Are you going through periods of where you’re just putting input and then you spit out a big chunk of a book? How do you crack your knuckles and get going then? Why You Should Write to Understand Your Ideas Kevin Kelly: I have had different phases. As I said, I don’t think of myself as a writer. I don’t feel like I have to write every day, on a normal day I do the email thing. I write to figure out what I’m thinking. When I have that problem of trying to do that, then I will start writing and I’ll commit to a writing period until I’m done. Then, I’m writing a lot. I try to do whatever it is — 500 words or something — just to get stuff down. For me, the killer thing is that first draft. That’s the hardest thing for me to do. When I was doing the last two books, I basically was trying to write and post something every day as a incentive. I didn’t always make it, but I did a lot in that period. Both of the last two books came from that writing — the early parts of it. When I’m doing a big piece for Wired — which I do about one a year — there it’s a lot of research and a lot of interviews. A lot of reading, calling, trying to talk to people. I’m making notes and I’m writing up notes, which I will then go through to extract out stuff. That’s the several-step process where I’m heavily, intensively doing the research. Camille’s doing other research. I’m like, “Find me this. What about that? There must be some paper on this. How about this question?” That’s all coming together and I’m trying to process it. I’m writing there — mostly notes, things I don’t want to forget. The hard part of trying to have an idea generally comes out where I try to write down stuff in order to have an idea. I don’t have an idea and then try and write it. I write it to have an idea. The Importance of the Incubation Phase for Writers Kevin Kelly: That means writing stuff that’s not going to be used, but I have to go through that process. That’s painful. I call it painful because when I’m writing it usually isn’t very good. I know that I’m not saying anything new. It’s painful in the sense that it feels like I’m inadequate. It feels like I’m not doing anything. It’s the usual kinds of fears that artists have, which is, “I’m not very good at this.” It takes persevering through that where you begin to — for me anyway — pick out the stuff that does work. You isolate it and try to recombine it. You’re going through. That’s just to make an article. If you’re making another book, you have to go through that whole thing again at a different level. You have to have bigger ideas to connect all those little ideas together. It takes several cycles. During that period of writing — I’m a slow writer and I’m a slow typer — I won’t get very far. But I will spend a lot of time just staring at the screen, staring out the window. For me, it’s a type of thinking. Or I’ll pace, where I’m trying to think, “What do I think? I don’t know.” It’s a type of thinking. It’s not literary in that sense. I work with people who are real writers, like Neal Stephenson. He writes every day. He loves to write. He lives to write. He just writes like you would speak. It just comes out of him. That’s not me. I write out of desperation as a way of thinking. It’s very slow. I don’t generate very many words. I do it reluctantly. Kelton Reid: That’s funny that you say that. I know that a lot of writers and best-selling authors say the same thing. They don’t like to write. They would rather be reading. Yet they have these storied publishing pasts. You get the words down there. What you’re talking about is that classic creative process where you’re doing the research, getting all this stuff together. You need that incubation phase to get that “Ah-ha” moment of an idea.
