Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! La historia de la técnica está sembrada de inventores olvidados cuyas creaciones seguimos usando, aunque nadie los recuerde con calles, placas ni estatuas. El caso más conocido es el del teléfono. Todos atribuyen su paternidad a Alexander Graham Bell, que patentó el aparato el 7 de marzo de 1876, pero Antonio Meucci ya había registrado un aviso previo en 1871 para su «telégrafo parlante», un prototipo que puso a funcionar con éxito en su casa de Staten Island y con el que se comunicaba con su esposa inválida. Meucci perdió la prioridad por una nimiedad, los 10 dólares que no pudo pagar para renovar el aviso y convertirlo en una patente. Algo parecido ocurrió con el alambre de espino. Dabb, Smith y Hunt patentaron una serie de diseños en 1867, pero fue Joseph Glidden quien, en 1874, logró fabricarlo en masa adaptando un molinillo de café, fundó la Barb Fence Co. y amasó una fortuna. Su ejemplo demuestra que no basta con tener la idea, también hace falta capital y capacidad industrial para triunfar. La máquina de coser repite el mismo patrón. Walter Hunt la concibió en 1833, pero no la patentó, en parte porque su hija, una ludita, temía por su empleo de costurera. Años después, Elias Howe patentó su propia versión que intentó vender en Inglaterra. No lo consiguió, pero al regresar a EEUU comprobó como le habían robado la patente. Ganó en los tribunales la llamada «Guerra de las máquinas de coser» contra Isaac Singer y el propio Hunt. Howe se hizo rico y le terminaron dedicando un estatua, sellos con su efigie y hasta calles con su nombre. El destornillador de estrella es otro de esos casos en los que el verdadero inventor se ha olvidado. John Thompson lo patentó en 1933, pero cedió los derechos a Henry Phillips, que se enriqueció con los royalties y prestó su nombre al invento. De Thompson apenas sabemos que era mecánico y que murió en 1940, condenado al anonimato pese a haber ideado algo que todos tenemos en casa.

At 18 years old, John Thompson had both arms ripped off below the shoulders when his shirt became caught in a tractor's power takeoff shaft on his family's North Dakota farm. After his arms were ripped off, he walked to his home, used his mouth to dial for help, and was later successful in having his arms reattached. Get inspired, learn to persevere, and order his book.

How do we pray about using the platform we've already been given in a more meaningful way? In this episode, Jeff and Paul discuss:  How Paul built a real estate business straight out of high school.  Decompartmentalizing faith and business.  Reclaiming culture after growth and expansion.  Utilizing your platform to serve God's Kingdom.     Key Takeaways:  When you ask God, “What should I be doing?” make sure you listen to what He is trying to tell you.  Building your ministry for your team, customers, and community will grow and be cultivated over time. You will not build the whole thing perfectly overnight.  God will put you in the path of people you never would have met otherwise.  Don't wait until you think you're ready. Just start.    "Get started and lean in, and God will continue to bless that and open doors and reward that, or pull back opportunities. You just have to get started." —  Paul Thrift   About Paul Thrift: As Chief Executive Officer of Thompson Thrift Development, Paul oversees the company's overall strategy and culture. He founded Thompson Thrift (TT) with partner John Thompson in 1986. Under their leadership, the business has grown into the nationally recognized full-service real estate development and construction company it is today. In 2008, he cofounded Thompson Thrift Residential, a full-service upscale multifamily housing developer. Since then, TT Residential has developed over 25,000 Class A apartments across the USA. During his tenure, Paul has successfully guided Thompson Thrift Development and its over 670 team members through the competitive real estate marketplace while expanding its portfolio to include multifamily, mixed-use, retail, and industrial developments across the United States. His innovation and drive have fueled the company's over $6.6 billion in ground-up real estate projects and positioned TT as one of the country's top privately owned real estate companies. While Paul has been honored to have Thompson Thrift's developments receive several awards and recognitions throughout his career, his passion lies in servant leadership and is very involved in community, volunteering, and serving multiple non-profit and civic organizations. He is the driving force behind TT Serve, Thompson Thrift's philanthropic arm, which provides support to team members, financial and volunteer assistance within the communities Thompson Thrift serves, and through designated vision trips, seeking to aid international communities in need.   Paul has also served with several non-profit civic organizations, including: • International Cooperating Ministries (ICM), Board Member • National Association of Home Builders Multifamily Leadership Board, 2022-23 Chair • National Multifamily Housing Council, Executive Board Member • National Multifamily Housing Council Political Action Committee, Board Member • Indiana Chamber Foundation, Board Member • Indiana State Chamber, Executive Committee Member, Past Chair • Indiana State University Foundation, Past Chair Athletic Advancement Committee • Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce, Past Chair • Terre Haute Economic Development Corporation, Past Chair • Terre Haute Tomorrow & Terre Haute Competes, Steering Committee Chair • Wabash Valley Red Cross, Past Chair • World Gospel Church, Terre Haute, IN, Deacon Council Past Chair   Connect with Paul Thrift: Website: https://www.thompsonthrift.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-thrift    Connect with Jeff Thomas:  Website: https://www.arkosglobal.com/ Podcast: https://www.generousbusinessowner.com/ Book: https://www.arkosglobal.com/trading-up Email: jeff.thomas@arkosglobal.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/ArkosGlobalAdv  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/arkosglobal/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/arkosglobaladvisors Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arkosglobaladvisors/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLUYpPwkHH7JrP6PrbHeBxw

“That is the one regret I have of my time playing in New York.”-Patrick Ewing In this powerful episode of The Pivot Podcast, NBA legend Patrick Ewing sits down for a candid and reflective conversation about the journey that shaped his life and career. This one hits differently as the Hall of Famer, who rarely shares, opens up on all the highs and lows with transparency, emotion and even a touch of humor.  From his early upbringing and path to basketball greatness, Ewing opens up about the discipline, challenges, and mindset that carried him from humble beginnings to becoming a dominant force at Georgetown to NBA legend. Grounded by the sacrifice of his parents, Patrick Ewing praises his family's move to the United States from Jamaica and how it not only saved his life but paved the way for him to live his dream. He revisits his iconic college years, where he helped turn Georgetown into a national powerhouse, and shares what it meant to play under the legendary John Thompson. Ewing opens up on his pivotal moment being selected as the NBA's first overall pick to New York and how he became the cornerstone of the Knicks best years and adjusted to Big Apple fame—embracing the pressure of the bright lights, the physicality of 90s basketball, and the responsibility of leading a franchise hungry for a championship. The conversation doesn't shy away from the toughest on-court battles and heated rivalries. Ewing reflects on intense matchups against Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon, offering insight into what made those rivalries so challenging and memorable. He speaks honestly about coming close to an NBA title but never quite securing one, and how that reality has shaped his perspective over time. He also gets into the truth behind his once rocky relationship with his former coach Pat Riley and his gratitude for Jeff Van Gundy. Whether you are a sports fan or love a success story rooted in family and hard work, this will connect with you as we take a trip down memory lane through one of the most infamous times in all of sports, classic moments forever etched in our mind, and inside stories from some of the greatest basketball games and athletes to ever play, told from the perspective of an absolute legend. How Ewing views his impact on the game, what he hopes people remember, and how he's found peace with both the triumphs and the unfinished business of his career is one of the more honest, thoughtful, and deeply human conversations we've had that goes far beyond basketball.

Jeffrey M. Bradshaw discusses two new commentaries on the life and ministry of Abraham, Sarah, and their families. The first of these books is part of his commentary series on Genesis, In God's Image and Likeness, written with co-authors (and Conversations with Interpreter guests) Matthew Bowen and John Thompson. The second book is a shorter version called Look unto Abraham and Sarah. In this episode, Dr. Bradshaw explores the advantage of a commentary format for Latter-day Saints, pointing ways in which this format can help us become richer readers of the scriptures. He also discusses how the Abrahamic Covenant impacts women and men in our desires to become more like God and to follow the covenant example of not only Patriarchs like Abraham, but also Matriarchs like Sarah and Hagar.

In this episode of Conversations with Interpreter, Thora and Avram speak with John Thompson about his paper from the 2025 Abraham and His Family Conference held at BYU in May 2025. Thompson, an Egyptologist who is a retired teacher for Seminaries and Institutes and a content creator for Scripture Central, discusses the idea that the life of Abraham as described in both Genesis and in the book of Abraham shows a progression in hiscovenant relationship with God. Thompson argues that this relates to Abraham's almost being sacrificed and then being commanded to sacrifice his own son. Although the scriptures talk about this in terms of the relationship between sons and fathers, the pattern presenting in scripture is part of the experience of everyone on the covenant path. The post Conversations with Interpreter: Episode 4 first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

John Thompson is here today to talk about how the future is reinventing taxes. He discusses his diverse career path from technology and programming into finance, tax services, and nonprofit work, highlighting his long-term involvement with the Financial Health Network and their efforts to improve consumer financial health. He explains how H&R Block has evolved from serving primarily low- and middle-income clients to addressing more complex financial needs, and how automation and technology are changing tax preparation and accounting.

We discuss...  John Thompson shares his career journey from technology and programming into finance, tax services, and nonprofit work. He highlights his 25-year relationship with the Financial Health Network and their mission to improve consumer financial health. John explains how research on bridging taxes and banking for underbanked populations inspired practical programs at H&R Block. He describes the evolution of H&R Block from serving primarily low- and middle-income clients to addressing more complex financial needs. Automation and technology in tax preparation are allowing professionals to focus on higher-value advisory services rather than data entry. Thompson emphasizes the importance of daily personal finance systems to manage cash flow, spending, saving, and debt. Challenges like inflation, housing affordability, student loans, and healthcare costs create structural barriers to financial health. Thompson discusses how banks and financial institutions are experimenting with different models to serve both underbanked and community-focused customers. He points out that for many simple tax filers, future trends may simplify filing to automated or postcard-level processes. Thompson stresses the importance of taking timely financial actions at key moments, like tax season, raises, or job changes. He highlights upcoming policy and product changes, such as the retirement savings match in 2027–2028 and child savings accounts starting in 2025. Thompson underscores that financial resilience requires both structural solutions and disciplined personal money management.

Scott and Bruce were the hottest couple in church. Scott, a hula dancer, seemed destined for Bruce, the hunky “lumbersexual,” and the church delighted when they got together. Their brief love affair sparkled before Bruce got sick and died. Their story is one of multiple “dress rehearsals”– when friends, family and lovers went through AIDS with their loved ones wondering who would be next and sometimes knowing it might be you.  You can see Scott perform in a 1992 InterPlay piece called “God, Sex and Power” here. He's the one with the bandaids on his knees.  Singing Positive is a two-part documentary film about the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus (SFGMC) and its experience with AIDS that spans 15 years. The first film, which featured Scott, was produced in 1992 and is hard to find online. The second film, produced in 2009, saw the filmmakers return to SFGMC to explore the impact of AIDS on the chorus over time. The 2009 film, with clips of Scott from the first film, is here. And you can watch some amazing SFGMC performances on their YouTube channel here.  Scott's San Francisco hula school was Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu. They celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2025. Scott's teacher and friend, Kumu Patrick Makuakāne is in the 2023 cohort of MacArthur Fellows. His recent work includes Māhū, a work by and with trans hula performers.   On the MCC in Hawai'i, see the Queer Histories of Hawai'i's story here.  For images and links about this episode visit https://www.heavenpodcast.org/episode-7 .  When We All Get to Heaven is produced by Eureka Street Productions.

The sound of mining — And the sound of money — All across Griqualand West, tent towns mushroomed overnight, teeming with fortune seekers from around the world. Tens of thousands by 1873, all descending on a patch of dusty ground that was soon to become a beacon of development on the landscape. Kimberley. In the modern world, industrial diamonds have hammered the industry business model, China overwhelmingly dominates global production of synthetic industrial diamonds accounting for about 90% of the total total. But in the 19th century, diamonds were still as rare as as teetotaler in a Kimberley tavern. This episode we'll hear about the entrepreneurs both black and white, and the future Robber Baron and colonial Dreamer, Cecil John Rhodes. It was in May 1871 after the harvest at the Rhodes brothers cotton farm in Richmond in Natal had come in, that Rhodes began his long career of harvesting the right connections. Brother Herbert sailed to Natal two years earlier, and now Cecil was helping manage the 250 acre farm, helped by 30 black labourers. Herbert however had heard about the riches discovered in Griqualand West and headed off to the Diamond Fields in early 1871, leaving Cecil to run the show in Natal. Young Cecil attended the annual meeting of the colonies agricultural society where he exhibited samples of their cotton, in attendance were Natal's colonial elite. There were long after-dinner political speeches, all ending with a toast. IN the haze of cigar and tobacco smoke, and a haze of multiple shots of whiskey, one settler called for a man to offer the traditional toast to the Ladies. So it was ironic that Cecil Rhodes rose in response, and thus delivered his first ever public speech according to his friend and biographer, Lewis Mitchell. Ironic because Rhodes would never form a initimate relationship with a woman as far as we know . As he grew more powerful, he would always surround himself with young male private secretaries and later would make one - Neville Pickering, the sole beneficiary of his will. In the Victorian era, being openly homosexual was socially unacceptable and illegal, so any such relationships would have been kept private. We are hampered by a lack of personal diaries or revealing letters from Rhodes himself, making it difficult to reach a firm, irrefutable conclusion about his private life. The scale claim-owners did much of their own manual labour, but for the most part the work was done by black labourers, picking at the ground, smashing the bumps of earth and rock, sieving the lime dust through a coarse wire sieve, rubble thrown aside, what remained placed on a sorting table. A small scraper would be used to spread the rock on the tables, scooping after picking the diamonds out, repeat repeat. In early 1872 Herbert went back to their farm in Richmond to welcome yet another brother, Frank, to South Africa. Cecil was left in charge and suffered under the stress, hard labour in a harsh climate, supervising his business, and a sudden death of his friend John Thompson. He was smoking and drinking too much, breathing in too much dust, dehydrated — and collapsed — to be nursed back to health by John Blades Currey's wife, Mary. He was still only 18 years old and almost died. In his miasmic state, he wrote his will which is prescient, and somewhat theatrical, leaving all his possessions to Britain's Secretary of State for the colonies, Lord Kimberly instead of his family. New promulgations were thus passed by the miners themselves, black people could not stay in the mining camps for longer than two days without a master, they also had to observe a curfew after 9pm. Punishment for failing to observe these rules, 25 lashes or 10 shillings fine. All this at a time when most of the English-speaking world was repealing lashing.
