Deep leadership is a play on Jon's history; he was serving officer aboard a nuclear submarine during the cold war.  Our podcast is about the transition between services and civic street. But it is also about the application of a leadership style.  My guess on the show today is John Rennie; he runs a successful business manufacturing critical components for electrical utilities. He's also a podcast host and the author of three books on leadership. Jon was born to a family in Manchester, New Hampshire, just north of Boston. It is a blue-collar town, and people do not leave. He was born to young parents with equally young grandparents. His Grandfathers had both served in WW2 and talked fondly of military service.     While John was born to a loving family, life was abundant, but funds were limited, and while he father extolled the virtue of getting to college. That opportunity would only be possible with a scholarship. He was fascinated by engineering and submarines and expressed the idea of becoming a serving officer. Nobody wants to be an officer on a submarine. The high school career person was surprised but did his research and found an opportunity. The Navy had a scholarship degree program which led to officer training. He got accepted, did his four years of college, achieved an engineering degree, and entered the Navy as a commissioned officer. Our conversation is a fascinating insight into the life of a nuclear submarine, but it's more than that. It's what John learned from his experience in the military and how we took that out into the business world. I often hear from people who have served that transitioning between service life and Civic Street is very difficult. Jon did struggle for seven years, but he applied his navy principles to his work, and the rest is history. He led eight manufacturing businesses for three global companies for 22 years until he started his own business manufacturing company producing critical components for electrical utilities.  He has written three books on leadership and hosts the Deep Leadership podcast.   There are many lessons to be learned here. But the biggest challenge we discussed in detail is to start a business does not mean creating a job.       Further details about this podcast along with my Guest's website and social links are all available at: https://lifepassionandbusiness.com/jon-rennie-deep-leadership/   Life Passion & Business is dedicated to exploring what it takes to be Extraordinary, to face challenges and rejoice in the opportunities they bring, and expand our vision into new ways of thinking and living.

Those birds – and how they are positioned – crystallise the matter for us.

Dreams are so personal, subjective and fleeting, they might seem impossible to study directly and with scientific objectivity. But in recent decades, laboratories around the world have developed sophisticated techniques for getting into the minds of people while they are dreaming. In the process, they are learning more about why we need these strange nightly experiences and how our brains generate them. In this episode, Steven Strogatz speaks with sleep researcher Antonio Zadra about how new experimental methods have changed our understanding of dreams. “The Joy of Why” is a podcast from Quanta Magazine, an editorially independent publication supported by the Simons Foundation.

Quantum field theory may be the most successful scientific theory of all time, predicting  experimental results with stunning accuracy and advancing the study of higher dimensional mathematics. Yet, there's also reason to believe that it is missing something. Steven Strogatz speaks with David Tong, a theoretical physicist at the University of Cambridge, to explore the open questions of this enigmatic theory. “The Joy of Why” is a podcast from Quanta Magazine, an editorially independent publication supported by the Simons Foundation.

Everybody gets older, but not everyone ages in the same way. For many people, late life includes a deterioration of health brought on by age-related disease. But that's not true for everyone, and around the world, women typically live longer than men. Why is that? In this episode, Steven Strogatz speaks with Judith Campisi and Dena Dubal, two biomedical researchers who study the causes and outcomes of aging to understand how it works — and what scientists know about postponing or even reversing the aging process. “The Joy of Why” is a podcast from Quanta Magazine, an editorially independent publication supported by the Simons Foundation.

How can anyone say something with certainty about infinity? What can we really know about the mysterious prime numbers without knowing all of them? Just as scientists need data to assess their hypotheses, mathematicians need evidence to prove or disprove conjectures. But what counts as evidence in the intangible realm of number theory? In this episode, Steven Strogatz speaks with Melanie Matchett Wood, a professor of mathematics at Harvard University, to learn how probability and randomness can help establish evidence for the airtight arguments demanded of mathematicians.“The Joy of Why” is a podcast from Quanta Magazine, an editorially independent publication supported by the Simons Foundation.

How do you teach mathematics to an artificial intelligence? AI has already bested humans at various problem-solving tasks, including games like chess and Go. But before any task can be tackled by a machine, it must be reinterpreted as  directions in language that computers can understand. For the last few years, researchers and amateurs all over the world have worked together to translate the essential axioms of mathematics into a programming language called Lean. Armed with this knowledge, theorem-proving programs that understand Lean have begun helping some of the world's greatest mathematicians verify their work. Steven Strogatz speaks with Kevin Buzzard, professor of pure mathematics at Imperial College London, about the effort to “teach” math to Lean — and how projects like this one could shape the future of math. “The Joy of Why” is a podcast from Quanta Magazine, an editorially independent publication supported by the Simons Foundation.

"the destruction of a great artistic monument"

Scientists don't really agree on a definition for life. We may recognize life instinctively most of the time, but any time we try to nail it down with set criteria, some stubborn counterexample spoils the effort. Still, can we really search for life on other worlds, or understand the earliest stages of life on this planet, if we don't know what to look for? On this episode, Steven Strogatz speaks with Robert Hazen, a mineralogist, astrobiologist and senior staff scientist at the Carnegie Institution's Earth and Planets Laboratory, along with Sheref Mansy, professor of chemistry at the University of Alberta, to learn more about how new taxonomies and a “cellular Turing test” might help us answer this essential question. “The Joy of Why” is a podcast from Quanta Magazine, an editorially independent publication supported by the Simons Foundation.

How did life begin on Earth? It's one of the greatest and most ancient mysteries in all of science — and the clues to solving it are all around us. Biologists have sometimes imagined evolutionary history as a recorded “tape of life” that might turn out differently if it were replayed again and again. In this episode, Steven Strogatz speaks with two researchers inspecting different parts of the tape. First, hear from the Nobel Prize-winning biologist Jack Szostak, who explores how a boiling pool laced with cyanide could have given rise to essential life elements like RNA and DNA. Then hear from Betül Kaçar, a paleogeneticist and astrobiologist who resurrects ancient genes to learn how they helped evolve the processes essential to modern life. “The Joy of Why” is a podcast from Quanta Magazine, an editorially independent publication supported by the Simons Foundation.

We have another great guest on Episode 335 of the DBR Podcast. This week, former Duke Basketball and Soccer player and 2001 national champion Andy Borman stops by to chat with Donald and Jason. The meat of the conversation focuses on Kyle Filipowski, a recent Duke commit that Andy Borman coached on the AAU circuit. Andy discusses Filipowski's strengths with Jason and how the recruiting process played out with future coach Jon Scheyer. Andy will have you ready to have this kid on campus! He also discusses how Covid disrupted their AAU season in 2020 and how that affected Filipowski's development. We end with his thoughts on Coach K's retirement (Andy Borman is Coach K's nephew) and how he's enjoyed reliving his time with the 2001 national championship team through Return to Glory, which returns in September. We end with Andy's time on the soccer team under legendary coach John Rennie and some of the old school tactics he would use after a tough loss. After the Andy Borman interview, we quickly react to it and then mention the upcoming official visits of two other Duke recruits, Jaden Schutt and Mark Mitchell. Countdown to Craziness is going to be an especially incredible night this year, and one of those players will be able to take it all in. Learn more about your ad choices.

Julie Rennie has done Accounting and Income Tax for most of her career primarily as a self-employed individual and currently runs a law practice as a Licensed Paralegal out of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Julie married Mark Black (Dr. Joshua Black’s father) in 1977 spending the next few decades as Julie Black. The positive blessings and outcomes from this marriage were building her faith in God and being a mother to her 4 children: Rebecca, Nathaniel, Joshua and Rachel. The marriage suffered challenges based on Mark’s excessive consumption of alcohol and poor coping skills. After the marriage ended, Julie remarried John Rennie.    In this episode we talk about the death of her grandmother, meeting Mark, their relationship, her health issues, being more open about her struggles, processing her emotions, and Mark's death.     You can find more about Julie’s paralegal practice at http://julierennieparalegal.com/

This week we present two stories from people who had hypotheses. Part 1: Teaching sixth grade science becomes much more difficult when Xochitl Garcia's students start hypothesizing that fire is alive. Part 2: When journalist John Rennie is assigned to cover an entomological society event where insects are served as food, he sees an opportunity to face his fear of bugs. Xochitl Garcia is the K-12 education program manager at Science Friday, where she focuses on supporting the inspiring efforts of educators (of all types) to engage students in science, engineering, math, and the arts. She is a former NYC school teacher, who specializes in sifting through random piles of junk that she insists are "treasures," to figure out cool ways for learners to explore scientific phenomena. You can find her making a mess in the name of science education at the Science Friday office, her house, with other educators...you get the picture. Update: Xochitl welcomed her baby (not fire) into the world on 1/1/2020. John has worked as a science editor, writer and lecturer for more than 30 years. Currently, he is deputy editor at Quanta Magazine. During his time as editor in chief at Scientific American, between 1994 and 2009, the magazine received two National Magazine Awards. He co-created and hosted the 2013 series Hacking the Planet on The Weather Channel.
