Podcast appearances and mentions of John Rees

Don Troiani's magnificently detailed battle paintings and meticulously-researched uniforms bring to life early-American military history.  He has collaborated with historian John Rees on a visual and artistic look at Black soldiers from the Seven Years War to the Civil War, in this richly-illustrated   Don Troiani's Black Soldiers in America's Wars 1754-1865.   Historian John Rees, whose previous book, They Were Good Soldiers, told the story of African-Americans in the Revolutionary War, tells us about the world of Black soldiers which his and Troiani's book brings documents. Tell us what you think!

In The Ideological Brain Leor Zmigrod studies the impact of political ideology on the makeup and shape of the brain. She found that those on the political extremes, as well as those with the most dogmatic beliefs, display more cognitive rigidity. The historian John Rees focuses on the small group of firebrand parliamentarians at the heart of the English Civil Wars. The Fiery Spirits describes how the radical republicans influenced more moderate MPs and led to the defeat, and execution, of Charles I.2025 is the centenary of the birth of Margaret Thatcher and fifty years since she became the first woman to lead a major political party in the UK. The political commentator and broadcaster Iain Dale publishes a biography of her later this year, and questions the role of ideology within Thatcherism. Producer: Katy Hickman

Great storytelling meets historical rigour in Season Two of the podcast that brings the 17th century vividly to life.  The Levellers were among the most influential and misunderstood political movements of the 17th century, key figures in the events that led to Charles I's trial and execution. John Lilburne, Richard Overton, Thomas Rainsborough and others shaped a democratic republican vision, only to be marginalised - some might say betrayed - by Oliver Cromwell during the Interregnum.  Paul and Miranda are joined by writer and activist John Rees, author of an acclaimed study of the Levellers. He charts the brief but significant life of this fascinating grassroots movement, and argues that their legacy is as relevant today as it was in the years after the Civil Wars.  '1666 and All That' is presented by Miranda Malins and Paul Lay. The producer is Hugh Costello. Original music by George Taylor. The episode is mixed by Sam Gunn.

John is a British political activist, academic and writer and one of his books is The Leveller Revolution.What were the Leveller beliefs and how did their cause develop?How did Cromwell betray them?John explains the Levellers' impact specifically in 1647 and 1648, and how this affected the outcome of the wars.This podcast looks at anything and everything to do with the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, which is very much an overlooked part of our history.

The debut studio album by Australian band Men at Work was released in April of 1982, but Business as Usual would steadily climb the charts through the year before peaking at the number 1 spot in November.  We thought September would be a good month in which to feature it.Founding member Colin Hay on lead vocals and guitar, was joined by Greg Ham on flute, keyboards, saxophone, and some vocals, Ron Strykert on guitar and vocals, John Rees on bass and background vocals, and Jerry Speiser on drums and background vocals for this iteration.  As the band moved forward, Hay, Ham and Strykert would remain, then Hay and Ham when Strykert left in 1985.  After the death of Greg Ham in 2012, Colin Hay would revive the name in 2019, and tour with session musicians.  Through today, there have been 17 different iterations of Men at Work!Business as Usual had a number of hits which would keep the band continually on pop stations throughout 1982 and 1983, including their biggest hit “Down Under,” which would introduce the world to the Australian peanut-butter-like spread, Vegemite.  It would also inspire a lawsuit, after it was determined that the flute parts bore a striking resemblance to the Aussie folk song, "Kookaburra," written in 1932.  The copyright, however, was still valid, and the band was forced to give up 5% of the royalties from 1982 through 2002.Join us now as we feature a band that comes from the land down under! Who Can It Be Now?This is the first single from the album, and was inspired by Colin Hay's experience living in an apartment complex shared with a number of “dealers.”  Folks would knock on his door at all hours of the night...leading to the questionable title of the song.  Greg Ham is a master on the saxophone on this piece.UndergroundColin Hay wrote this deeper cut, though it got some air play at the time.  The story is built around conspiracy theories, and an underground that shelters the elite.  “There's no need for you to fight, boys, hang up all your guns.  Find your mask and as best as you can get ready to run.”Be Good JohnnyTaking inspiration from Johnny B. Goode, this upbeat song finds Colin Hay playing the roll of Johnny's, mom, Johnny's dad, and Johnny himself.  Greg Ham handles the spoken lyrics in the middle of the song.  It's about a boy who gets in trouble for...daydreaming....Helpless AutomatonAnother deeper cut from the album, this has the true feel of an early 80's new wave song.  Greg Ham takes over lead vocal duties here.  Hay and Ham got their start in small clubs, — the size where folks on the front row would drop stuff into Ham's saxophone.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:“Without Us” (Theme from “Family Ties”Here's where Michael J. Fox got his break, as Michael Keaton, “Young Republican” conservative child of former hippies, now turned average American family. STAFF PICKS:Somebody's Baby by Jackson BrowneBrian's staff pick is off the soundtrack from the film “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.”  Browne calls this song “an unabashed pop song,” and didn't include it on his studio albums.Gypsy  by Fleetwood MacBruce features a song that Stevie Nicks wrote when reminiscing about her days before fame, when she shopped at The Velvet Underground and slept on a mattress with no bed frame!  It is also inspired by her friend, Robin Snyder Anderson, who had died of leukemia.I've Known No War   by The WhoWayne takes up the tempo with a deep cut from The Who's album “It's Hard.”  The song tells a story set in the Cold War, where there would be no war, just bombs dropping and the world on fire.  Most people assumed at the time that instead of a war between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., there would just be a quick annihilation.Someday, Someway  by Marshall CrenshawRob's pick gets happier with Crenshaw's top 40 hit from his debut album.  Crenshaw was also an actor, starring as Buddy Holly in “La Bamba,” and playing John Lennon in Beatlemania.   "Someday, someway, maybe I'll understand you." COMEDY TRACK:Valley Girl by Frank ZappaThis song was a huge hit during the day.  Frank Zappa's daughter, Moon Unit Zappa, voices the sound of the valley girl.  “Gag me with a spoon!  Bag your face!”

We're under lockdown in Indiana due to COVID19, please see NMLRA.org/covid19 for updates on how this affects the NMLRA. (3/2020) This week we are talking to author and historian John U Rees about his new book on African Americans serving in the Continental Army, but that's not all, we head down several interesting rabbit holes on period footwear, recreating Continental Marches and much much more. A native of Bucks County, born in the year of the Hungarian uprising, and currently living in Solebury, Pa., John Rees has written over 150 articles and monographs since 1986 on various aspects of the common soldiers' experience. He focuses primarily on the War for Independence and American soldiers' foodways. In autumn 2019, John published his first book, "They Were Good Soldiers': African–Americans Serving in the Continental Army, 1775-1783 (From Reason to Revolution)". The role of African-Americans, most free but some enslaved, in the regiments of the Continental Army, is not well-known; neither is the fact that relatively large numbers served in southern regiments and that the greatest number served alongside their white comrades in integrated units. A self self-proclaimed obsessive researcher, many of John's articles are published online and accessible for free, if you are interested in hearing more from John, please check out the links to his work in the show notes below.

"I firmly believe in the power of health education to improve health outcomes, and as I continue to work in culturally unfamiliar situations, I must meet patients where they are, understanding their beliefs and the realities of their environments, to ensure that my recommendations are truly culturally competent."

On Start the Week Kirsty Wark explores the history of protest. The Levellers were revolutionaries who brought 17th century England to the edge of radical republicanism. In his biography, John Rees argues the Levellers are central figures in the country's history of democracy. The original soldier-turned-saint and nationalist protester Joan of Arc takes centre stage in Josie Rourke's revival of Bernard Shaw's play, Saint Joan. The Labour MP, Rachel Reeves, finds inspiration in her fellow parliamentarian Alice Bacon, who she says helped usher in a new era of social justice post-war, while the political commentator James Frayne looks at the era post-Brexit and considers whether provincial England is now in revolt.

The revolutionary Leveller movement grew out of the explosive tumult of the 1640s and the battlefields of the English Civil Wars. They were central figures in those turbulent years which resulted in the execution of Charles I and the abolition of the House of Lords, and brought Britain to the edge of a radical republican government. From the streets of London and the clattering printers’ workshops that stoked the uprising to the rank and file of the New Model Army and the furious Putney debates, at which the Levellers argued with Oliver Cromwell about the fate of English democracy, the Levellers' story demonstrates the revolutionary potential of ordinary people, and provides hope and inspiration for the future. In this podcast listen to historian and activist John Rees discuss his new book 'The Levellers' Revolution' with Diane Purkiss, Professor of English at Keble College, Oxford and author of 'The People’s History of the English Civil War' and 'Literature, Gender and Politics During the English Civil War'.

The Levellers, revolutionaries that grew out of the explosive tumult of the 1640s and the battlefields of the Civil War, are central figures in the history of democracy. In this thrilling narrative, John Rees brings to life the men—including John Lilburne, Richard Overton, Thomas Rainsborough—and women who ensured victory at war, and brought England to the edge of radical republicanism. From the raucous streets of London and the clattering printers’ workshops that stoked the uprising, to the rank and file of the New Model Army and the furious Putney debates where the levellers argued with Oliver Cromwell for the future of English democracy, this story reasserts the revolutionary nature of the 1642–48 wars, and the role of ordinary people in this pivotal moment in history. The legacy of the Levellers can be seen in the modern struggles for freedom and democracy across the world. https://www.versobooks.com/books/2129-the-leveller-revolution

My game-plan for personal growth so that I can increase my contribution. On this episode Russell talks about the six human needs that Tony Robins teaches about. Four needs of the body and two needs of the spirit, which he explains in depth. He talks about how he plans to enter a new growing phase in his life which will lead to more contributing. Here are some insightful things you will learn in today's episode: How Russell spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in courses in order to help himself and company grow. Why Russell believes that the cycle of growing and contributing needs to be constantly moving in a circle. And what two major things Russell is going to do with his team to help him grow in his business and in his personal life. So listen below to find out how Russell plans to continue to grow and contribute in his life. ---Transcript--- Good morning everybody, this is Russell and I'm so excited to be hanging out with you guys today. I don't know about you, but I'm so excited for today. A lot of cool things happening over here. First off, I woke up this morning at 4:45 and jumped in the float tank and did some floating and meditating. I haven't quite figured out the whole meditation thing yet, but I'm trying. It's really hard. Maybe someday that will work. Regardless, I got to float in salt water, and it was warm like a bath tub for a long time, so that was sweet. I went and lifted weights with Dave Woodward, which was awesome, and then hung out with the kids, and now I'm heading into the office. So a couple of cool things, one is we're doing this really cool project with Fiber Fix, is a cool viral video that went viral a little while ago, but their funnel isn't converting, so we're doing this swap with them. They're going to help us with this video in exchange for us helping them with their funnel, if we can beat their funnel. So the test goes live today and I'm crazy, crazy proud of the funnel, so I'm excited to see how that goes. So that's going live today, with a bunch of other things. But what I wanted to talk to you about today, because this is an exciting day, when I start talking and geeking out and getting really excited about it. And it kind of ties into something I've been thinking a lot about, and I've even done some podcasts about this. But I want to bring you guys in on this thing because it's going to be really cool and exciting. If everyone is doing it, we're all going to grow together. So you can choose to be part of it or not. But if you choose to be part of it you will see insane amounts of growth in your life. So here's what we're doing, first thing, I need to set this up a little bit. If any of you guys have ever studied Tony Robins, one of the things he talks about is the six human needs. There's four needs of the body and two needs of the spirit. Our body, a lot of people never actually get their needs of their spirit met, they just don't because they never get to that level. But everybody gets the needs of their body met. So the needs of the body, I don't know how many times we have to go into this. Basically there are four human needs. Four needs of the body. One of them is significance. We need to feel significant. The opposite of significance is the second one, which is love and connection.  So there's this internal dilemma we have as humans. We want to feel significant, look how great I am. But we also want love and connection, which is like look how great you are. There's this connection. So two of the human needs. Then there's, I'm going to blank out right now….Love and connection, significance….then you've got variety. We need excitement, change, all these things happening. But we also want certainty. So there's the other two human needs. Variety, which is craziness and new things, and then certainty which is like, I need to be certain in everything. So during this podcast, I don't have time to go into all of those things. I've done some podcasts in the past and maybe I'll do some in the future because it's exciting. Part of our whole goal here on earth and in this life is to master our body. So understanding those first four human needs and how to create addictions and how to break addictions all through those human needs is fascinating and we could talk about that for a year, in fact, maybe I will sometime. But after you get the body mastered and figured out, the next step are the needs of the spirit. The first need of the spirit is growth and the second is contribution. I always think about this, there's times in people's lives where we need to grow. You go to school, you're growing. When you are starting new career, you're in a growth phase. There's a time in your life when growth is super important. But eventually you start to grow and some people get stuck in this. They learn and grow and study and they love going to school, they grow, grow, grow  but they never transition to the next need which is contribution. When you're going through this growth phase, you're trying to become something. But eventually, if you just keep growing, the only person that benefits is you, which is kind of a selfish need when you look at it. But it's necessary because as you grow and as you become something more than you are now, then you can turn around and contribute that to other people. So you contribute in a lot of ways. As an employee, you're growing and then after a while that growth of what you've learned you start contributing to your company and help some people. If you're an expert, for a while you're in a phase where you're trying to learn and become something and then you turn around and start teaching and coaching other people and now you're contributing. So there's this transition from growth to contribution that's fascinating. And again, we could talk about that forever, it's so exciting. But that's kind of what I wanted to do today. Dave and I are talking about today about a bunch of things we want to do. We thought how fun would it be to create a phase in our life right now where we get back to growth. In Clickfunnels, what we're doing, we're in this huge contribution phase and we're contributing. And I feel like, me personally and everyone on the team…..me personally, I went through ten years of growth, trial and error. Learning and studying and everything to be able to contribute at this level we're at right now. And the problem is that I've seen this so many times from friends and mentors and people I know. There was a time where they grew and started contributing, but then they stopped growing and then the contribution stopped. And it freaks me out and I do not want to be that person who is not able to contribute anymore because I stopped growing. I think there is a cycle between growth and contribution. Because as you contribute you start growing. And then it grows and you….there's a really cool spiral that makes everything rise together. It's been a couple of years since I've focused on my own personal growth. I do things here and there, things are happening where I'm trying to grow. But not where I was like, I'm going to go back and grow and really focus on growth for a period. I don't know if that's a month, six months, a year, two years. I don't know what that is, but I feel like right now if I focus more on growth, it's going to make my contribution bigger. So I'm excited for that. I think back about the big growth phases in my life. When I first started this business, I went through a huge growth phase, where I was consuming for 18 months. I think we all do this, we consume, we learn, we're trying things. We aren't having success yet, but that growth we go through is what makes it so we can contribute and if we don't go through that, it's hard. In fact, it's funny, it's one of the things that….yesterday my coach, Tara that I was working with talked about. Some of the people we work with, we're giving them….we're building out a whole funnel and giving it to them and they didn't have to grow to get it, so their struggling to have the contribution and have an impact on their business because of that. There's value in going through that growth phase. So when I first started my business I went through this huge growth phase that got me from not knowing anything to, “I now have something that I'm selling online.” There's a huge initial growth. And then I started selling stuff and it was awesome and it worked for a while. Then I kind of stopped growing and I was just contributing from the momentum I'd gotten from my initial growth phase. And I was doing well, and probably the next year and a half, two years, I was in that contribution phase and was doing well. But then I started making enough money where I could start blowing money on courses. Right now, we're moving. We're about to move offices, so I'm trying to clear off my 1,000 book shelves. It's insane. Everyone in the office calls me a book hoarder and a course hoarder. And I'm totally hoarding these, but I went through this phase then for the next probably year and half, two years where I started buying everything. Literally hundreds of thousands of dollars in courses and trainings and books and CD's and everything. And I went through this time where I was just geeking out and studying everything. And what was cool at this point, I had this little business it was fledgling, it was kind of doing well enough to support itself and give me money for my addiction which became marketing books and courses. But as I would learn things I would immediately go back and apply to the business and we started growing. Probably two or three years I went through this phase where I was buying everything. All my money went reinvested back into education. And I was going through this huge growth curve which gave me the ability to contribute more. And after two or three years of that, then I stopped focusing on growth and started focusing mor eon contribution. It was good, and that's kind of what brings us to today. So I kind of want to stimulate a growth period in my own personal life and my team's life. I want to challenge you guys to do it as well. .This is what we're doing. Dave and I talked about it today, I'm going to have a meeting when I'm at the office and get everyone on board because it will be fascinating and cool. I've basically been taking all of my courses, because in the move I'm trying to clear off bookshelf space. I've got hundreds of thousands of dollars in  courses that I'm ripping all the CD's and putting them in audio format and putting them on my iPad and my iPhone. I've got maybe 50 or so courses now that have been switched to that. I've got every Dan Kennedy course ever created. Every Jay Abraham course created. Dan Solomen, Matt Furey, John Rees, Mark Joyner, all of the classics, all of the good ones. Everything. So now they're in a format where I can start consuming them. So I'm going to do this with my team, I'm going to get all the people that, not everyone geeks out with this, but there's a group that do, and I want to get the 5 or 6 of us together and say each Monday or Friday we'll pick a course and each person picks a different course. Then you've 7 days to speed learn it. Go through it, take notes, study it. And then the next week later come back together as a group and say, “Okay, what did you learn from this course?” and have everyone share it. “These are the 5 or 10 things that I learned in this course that are applicable to us.” So I just got this growth and I'm going to contribute it back to you now, and we can contribute it as a company, now the growth flows into contribution. And I figure if there's 5 or 6 of us pounding through an entire $2,000 marketing course each week, I think the growth and contribution we'll be able to do is going to be insane. So that's part number one of this. That's what we're going to do. I would recommend you finding a group of peers or friends or people in the Clickfunnels group, or people who work with you, but find a group and do this together. This is something that's hard to do by yourself. If you've got some accountability it will be easier and better. It doesn't have to be a $2,000 course, it could be an audio book, it could be pounding through a book a week. It could be whatever that is, but find a way to compress decades of information into days. Tony Robins is the first person I heard say that, he said, “You can read a book that takes a decade of someone's time and energy and put in a format where you can consume it in a day, and you can literally learn in a day what took somebody a decade to learn.” That's the power of books. That's what I want to do through here. I want each week for me to get a decade worth of stuff in a couple days. But multiply that by 5 or 6 guys on my team. I'm getting half a century  worth of stuff every single  week.  And as a team we're growing and contributing and it's going to be awesome. That's kind of the first step. The second step is, and I talked about this a little while ago, I want to, not just from a learning…..Did you hear that car, some guy thinks he's way too cool. So that's the firs thing, the second thing, I don't just want to grow from a learning standpoint, that's a big piece of this. But the other piece I want to learn, is I want to grow in other aspects of my life as well. I'm going to use this opportunity fo rboth. What we talked about doing today, Dave and I. And I talked about this a little while ago, figure out all the different tests we can take on ourselves to figure out where we are in things. So Wellness FX for example, has an amazing blood work. You can do all this blood work and they ‘ll give you back this panel for everything, your testosterone levels, your fat levels, your cholesterol, everything. So I'm going to go and I think Dave's going to go and try to get everyone else to go do  a Wellness FX and get our initial blood work done, and I want to do another food allergy test. I want to do a 23 Me test, which is like, I actually already did that one. But everyone else is going to get a 23 Me test, which is going to tell you your genetics. We're going to make lists of as many different tests like that we can take. Personality test, we did a disc profile recently. Other ones like that and try to get baselines of all this stuff, so I get to become more aware of all this stuff. My body, my personality. The love language test, all these things so I have a better picture of where I'm at to figure out where to grow from there. Half of growth is being aware of where you are today and most of us don't really know. We're kind of just wandering around bumping off things and hoping we'll eventually get to where we want to go. But the best way to get to where you want to go is having a map to help you get there. So we're going to be doing all these tests to figure out , here's the game plan and map of where we're trying to go. We're going to make an excel sheet and bust out as many tests as we can find. Personality, health, blood, urine tests, if that's what it takes. I don't care, whatever it is. Take tons of tests so we can get some baselines as well and from there make cool decisions. So that's kind of what's happening. I'm going to meet today with my team and see who wants to get in on it. And we're going to start going through a huge growth phase of our learning and also getting tests done to figure out where we're at and figure out how to evolve and grow from there. So we can grow more, contribute more, and help change the world even better. I don't know about you, but I've got some big visions to change the world and I feel like we've just gotten started. Anyway, I hope this gets you excited, it gets me excited. What I would do is find 3 of your friends and have them listen to this podcast and become accountability partners. Each of you pick a book or a course a week or whatever it is and start mass learning and figure out how you can apply it to your businesses and figure out how you can apply it to your life. If you wanted to test things as well. There's a bunch of them, Wellness FX is a great one, it's kind of expensive. But you get all your blood work on everything, it's a good place to start. The Disc Profile is awesome. If you're in my inner circle, we're giving everyone in the inner circle the Disc Profile and Mandy is our, besides me, the other coach in the inner circle. She's coaching everyone through which has been amazing. But start finding those things so you can start getting baselines of where you're at on everything. It's going to be a fun project. So there you guys go, operation growth has now officially begun in my life. And it's now, you've got permission to start on your life as well. I hope that helps you guys. I'm at the office, I'm going to go have my meeting. Talk to you guys soon, bye everybody.

Tony Robins is the first person I heard say that, he said, “You can read a book that takes a decade of someone’s time and energy and put in a format where you can consume it in a day, and you can literally learn in a day what took somebody a decade to learn.” That’s the power of books. That’s what I want to do through here. I want each week for me to get a decade worth of stuff in a couple days. But multiply that by 5 or 6 guys on my team. I’m getting half a century  worth of stuff every single  week.  And as a team we’re growing and contributing and it’s going to be awesome. That’s kind of the first step. The second step is, and I talked about this a little while ago, I want to, not just from a learning…..Did you hear that car, some guy thinks he’s way too cool. So that’s the firs thing, the second thing, I don’t just want to grow from a learning standpoint, that’s a big piece of this. But the other piece I want to learn, is I want to grow in other aspects of my life as well. I’m going to use this opportunity fo rboth. What we talked about doing today, Dave and I. And I talked about this a little while ago, figure out all the different tests we can take on ourselves to figure out where we are in things. So Wellness FX for example, has an amazing blood work. You can do all this blood work and they ‘ll give you back this panel for everything, your testosterone levels, your fat levels, your cholesterol, everything. So I’m going to go and I think Dave’s going to go and try to get everyone else to go do  a Wellness FX and get our initial blood work done, and I want to do another food allergy test. I want to do a 23 Me test, which is like, I actually already did that one. But everyone else is going to get a 23 Me test, which is going to tell you your genetics. We’re going to make lists of as many different tests like that we can take. Personality test, we did a disc profile recently. Other ones like that and try to get baselines of all this stuff, so I get to become more aware of all this stuff. My body, my personality. The love language test, all these things so I have a better picture of where I’m at to figure out where to grow from there. Half of growth is being aware of where you are today and most of us don’t really know. We’re kind of just wandering around bumping off things and hoping we’ll eventually get to where we want to go. But the best way to get to where you want to go is having a map to help you get there. So we’re going to be doing all these tests to figure out , here’s the game plan and map of where we’re trying to go. We’re going to make an excel sheet and bust out as many tests as we can find. Personality, health, blood, urine tests, if that’s what it takes. I don’t care, whatever it is. Take tons of tests so we can get some baselines as well and from there make cool decisions. So that’s kind of what’s happening. I’m going to meet today with my team and see who wants to get in on it. And we’re going to start going through a huge growth phase of our learning and also getting tests done to figure out where we’re at and figure out how to evolve and grow from there. So we can grow more, contribute more, and help change the world even better. I don’t know about you, but I’ve got some big visions to change the world and I feel like we’ve just gotten started. Anyway, I hope this gets you excited, it gets me excited. What I would do is find 3 of your friends and have them listen to this podcast and become accountability partners. Each of you pick a book or a course a week or whatever it is and start mass learning and figure out how you can apply it to your businesses and figure out how you can apply it to your life. If you wanted to test things as well. There’s a bunch of them, Wellness FX is a great one, it’s kind of expensive. But you get all your blood work on everything, it’s a good place to start. The Disc Profile is awesome. If you’re in my inner circle, we’re giving everyone in the inner circle the Disc Profile and Mandy is our, besides me, the other coach in the inner circle. She’s coaching everyone through which has been amazing. But start finding those things so you can start getting baselines of where you’re at on everything. It’s going to be a fun project. So there you guys go, operation growth has now officially begun in my life. And it’s now, you’ve got permission to start on your life as well. I hope that helps you guys. I’m at the office, I’m going to go have my meeting. Talk to you guys soon, bye everybody.
