Podcast appearances and mentions of joshua cooper ramo

My conversation today with Howard Lake was a much anticipated one; I recall our first interaction a couple of years ago when he  graciously offered to help promote my new book. I remain very grateful for his help in spreading the word in the UK and beyond. Howard describes himself as a digital fundraising entrepreneur. In 1994, he began publishing UK Fundraising, the world’s first web resource for charity fundraisers; and, in 1996, he a few years later wrote the first book on the subject. Because Howard is able to keep a pulse on where fundraising is headed, I was eager to hear his thoughts about the Captain Tom story and some other events in our space.  Despite what he has already achieved in our sector Howard is quite convinced that there is far more work to be done and that much of that work will be accomplished in the digital space. It was contemplating these possibilities that was the focus of our conversation today. Howard and I talked about whether perhaps the constraints of consumer theory and institutional control were the primary barriers to achieving what he imagines is possible. I certainly share Howard’s optimism and concur that much of what we have seen as of late is only scratching the surface of what is possible. Our listeners might want to check out Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms New Power as well as Joshua Cooper Ramo‘s The Seventh Sense.  As always, we are grateful to our friends at CueBack for sponsoring The Fundraising Talent Podcast.   #unpredictable  #responsivefundraising

Hon na miliardáře ze Silk Road Neuvěřitelný, ale skutečný příběh muže, který vystavěl online drogové impérium v hodnotě miliardy dolarů z ložnice – a málem mu to prošlo. V roce 2011 spustil šestadvacetiletý libertarián, vystudovaný fyzik a amatérský programátor Ross Ulbricht dokonale svobodné tržiště Silk Road, kde mohli lidé obchodovat s čímkoliv – s drogami, hackerským softwarem, falešnými pasy, padělanými penězi, jedy – a být přitom skrytí před zraky vlády. Netrvalo dlouho a zvěsti o webu, kde mohl kdokoliv beztrestně nakupovat a prodávat pokoutné zboží, se rychle rozšířily. Federální vláda odstartovala impozantní dvouletý hon na nepolapitelného majitele stránky, aniž by měla stopu, svědky nebo vyjasněné pravomoci. Vyšetřovatelé věděli jediné: že člověk, který stránku provozuje, si říká Dread Pirate Roberts. Ze Silk Road se brzy stává podnik v hodnotě 1,2 miliardy dolarů a Ross přijímá svou novou roli drogového magnáta. Získává si loajální partu spojenců na vysokých i nízkých pozicích, kteří jsou závislí na nebezpečí a vzrušení z provozování nelegálního tržiště stejně, jako jsou jejich zákazníci závislí na heroinu, který je jim prodáván. Díky své síti se Ross dozvídá, že je hledanou osobou, a podniká drastické kroky, aby se ochránil, včetně objednání vraždy bývalého zaměstnance. Zatímco Ross spřádá plány, jak navždy zmizet, federální agenti svádějí boj s časem ve snaze chytit muže, o němž si ani nejsou jistí, zda existuje, a hledají jehlu v kupce sena globálního internetu. „Biltonovo pátrání po Silk Road je dramatické a chvílemi téměř neuvěřitelné. Vaše oblíbené thrillery zblednou závistí.“ — STEVEN PRESSFIELD, autor knihy Válka umění „Schválně, jestli tuhle knihu dokážete odložit. Biltonova kniha je mistrovsky zpracovaná a napsaná a vrhne vás do samého středu temného srdce dosud nejslavnějšího internetového zločinu. Prvotřídní vzrůšo.“ — JOSHUA COOPER RAMO, autor knihy Sedmý smysl „Nick Bilton vydal fantastický moderní thriller podle skutečné události. Kniha má ohromné tempo a zároveň je napěchovaná vynikajícími zpravodajskými prvky a podrobnostmi. Živě vykresluje, co se stane, když se spojí geniální mozek, ctižádost a neřest, a kromě toho je studií složité hry dobra a zla.“ — ASHLEE VANCE, autor knihy Elon Musk „Nick Bilton znovu dokazuje, proč je jedním z nejlepších vypravěčů z oblasti technologií, a to díky skvěle sestavenému a dost děsivému portrétu tvůrce tržiště, které se vymklo kontrole, i zvláštně nekoordinovaných policistů, kteří ho dopadli.“ — STEVEN LEVY, autor knihy Jak myslí Google „Na Biltonův portrét geniálního a otrlého Rosse Ulbrichta nezapomenete ještě dlouho po tom, co obětujete spánek, jen abyste se dostali na poslední stránky a byli svědky výkonu spravedlnosti.“ — BRAD STONE, autor knih Globální samoobsluha a Uber a Airbnb mění svět Název: Překupník na darknetu Autor: Nick Bilton Překlad: Kateřina Harrison Lipenská Interpret audioknihy: Filip Švarc Délka audioknihy: 12:13 h Počet stránek knihy: 363 Vazba knihy: Brožovaná vazba Vydavatelství: Audiolibrix Audioknihu Překupník na darknetu si můžete koupit v nejlepším obchodě s audioknihami Audiolibrix.

I spoke with Joshua Cooper Ramo in this podcast interview, partly about his latest book, The Seventh Sense and partly about his overall life and pursuit of excellence. Mr. Ramo started off as a journalist, working at Newsweek then for Time Inc back when, as he says, “it mattered who The Man of the Year was.”  He worked as both senior and as foreign editor at Time, and he wrote for them long enough ago (1997) that he wrote The Man Of the Year cover story on Andy Grove, one of the founders of Intel. From Time Inc he moved to China to pursue adventure in the world of business.  He became fluent in Chinese and fell in love with the culture. In China he worked for the former president of Goldman Sachs and eventually began working at his current company, Kissinger Associates, where he's now co-CEO. He lived in Beijing full time for a little over a decade and now splits his time between Beijing and New York.  Yes, he's a busy, pipe hittin' dude and I was super stoked to connect for this conversation. I found him through his first book, No Visible Horizon, a lovely story about his journey to aerobatic nationals as a pilot that reminded me of reading Ernest Gann's “Fate Is The Hunter”, another excellent and relatively unsung pilot book. Curious about what else he'd written, I found his third book, The Seventh Sense, which I read through with great enjoyment and then went on to read his second book, The Age of the Unthinkable.  Reading those two books gave me a look into the mind of a writer deeply immersed in international relations, intensely curious about connections in the modern age, and fascinated with networks in particular.   Both books deal with the unpredictable nature of an increasingly connected world, and as a business owner running a small enterprise in that world I found them entertaining and educational.  In fact, they forced me to re-evaluate our strategy at Paleo Treats and the way we're using our networks. In this interview we dive into the important points of a network, the difference between complex and complicated systems, what topology is and why it matters, and how emergent properties of networks are inevitable. I asked him how he curates and uses his curiosity, and he talked about his main theme in The Seventh Sense that “connection changes the nature of an object.” We do dive briefly into some flying stuff and how flying may move from unnatural to natural as you become a better pilot, but the majority of this interview deals with networks and how to understand and explore them in this incredibly connected world. Joshua talks about the importance of figuring out what tools you need in order to understand and investigate a problem.  He places the conversation in the context of historical cycles, the enduring nature of art, and the best kind of adventure you can have. Enjoy the show! Books Mentioned -No Visible Horizon -The Age of the Unthinkable -The Seventh Sense -Fate is the Hunter -China's Wings -The Rational Optimist For each podcast I do I end up writing a bunch of notes and questions.  While I don't always ask the questions, it's helpful to have them written down and reviewed before the show. Here are my notes for this interview: -You're a searcher, a seeker, and a story teller.  Tell me about that. -in Age if the Unthinkable you talk about the importance of relationships.  You seem very well connected to a number of different cohorts.  How did your learning of Chinese culture influence that?  Is there anything more important than building relationships when it comes to getting things done? (Planning to be Dan Kaminsky) -connection changes the nature of an object.  What does that mean? -how are the fourth revolution & the seventh sense tied together? -how do we cultivate the 7th sense?  -Clausewitz noted, “Many intelligence reports in war are contradictory; even more are false, and most are uncertain. . . . In short, most intelligence is false.”  How are you assessing a network accurately? -in Age of the Unthinkable you talk about the spymaster Farkash asking questions no one else asked and being amazed that Israel's actions had forced the enemy to evolve.  This evolution of both sides seems like a fundamental part of struggle.  Is anyone asking “How do we force our enemy to *devolve*?”  Examples of it working? -how many languages do you speak or you speak or understand?  Is it worth it to learn another language, or is there a universal language of networks? The standard visualization of a network is as a fish net, however, that is not what it might look like. When you talk about topology there is a deceptive notion that these things can be understood in nearly 3 dimensions. How else can someone visualize what a network might physically look like? Or does this require a new skill of four dimensional visualization? -can you talk a little about how blockchain ties together multiple networks (financial, legal, social?) -do we need to change to a network system without fallible leaders?  Our current leaders seem unable to solve problems for which there are fairly clear solutions. -how would you befriend a network?  Can you be friends with a network? -how would you addict a network?  -assessing trust in a network?  -assessing quality of expertise in the network?  use past predictions?  -let's talk about topology & networks.  As I understand it, topology basically refers to the way networks can be thought of in terms of connection time between nodes, regardless of physical distance.  If topology is 2 dimensional, is there a way to understand how a 3rd dimension would apply? -how can we find the edge of a network so we can “shake the blanket” and cause change?  Is it possible? -a group of almost successful (or even unsuccessful) people is far more powerful than a single lucky person; do networks remove the filter of luck, or offset the capriciousness of chance? -how does a small business use the seventh sense?  practical example? BACKGROUND Dad is a cardiologist being outdated/outgunned by Google search Mom is a high powered lawyer who wrote about the power of systems (specifically applied to law offices) -aerobatic pilot, No Visible Horizon -started as a journalist, a story teller in '93 at Newsweek -Time magazine in '96, hired by Walter Isaacson, the guy who wrote biographies about Steve Jobs, Ben Franklin, Albert Einstein, and Henry Kissinger -oversaw Time's digital operations while covering tech; has been pursuing this idea of tech & networks for a long time -moved to Beijing in 2002 & worked with John Thornton, former president of Goldman Sachs -from '03-until now he's worked at Kissinger Associates, where he's currently co-CEO -fluent in Mandarin (and Spanish?)   NOTES FROM OTHER INTERVIEWS HE'S DONE -how do we expand the network? -the sixth sense is a feeling for history -the seventh sense is a feeling for being enmeshed in networks -what happened in 1848?  Massive backlashes?  Industrial Revolution   IDEAS SPARKED -if I wanted to build my own network, how would I use the concepts in the book? -AI + social media posts?  to what end?  What is the goal?  Maximum engaged followers.  What is engaged?  Contributing useful content.  Can I define useful?  Content that triggers conversations or additions to the convo like pictures or video How can I let the Paleo Treats audience connect with each other and find their friends who are already in the network? What is our network strategy? And email centered around the idea of “Who can I introduce you to?” PODCASTING EQUIPMENT USED FOR THIS EPISODE  Finally, I love the technical geekery of podcasting and am psyched on spreading the word.  Here's the equipment I use to make mine: Mackie Onyx 1220i mixer ProAudioLA cables ElectroVoice RE20 Fethead inline preamp AKG K-240 headphones U-Control UCA222 splitter for Skype Avantone Mixcube Reaper DAW

What if you had a special sense that allowed you to perceive change happening right now? The Seventh Sense explores the idea of connected systems and how they change the very nature of how we do business.

Joshua Cooper Ramo is co-CEO of Kissinger Associates, The Advisory Firm of Former U.S. Secretary of State Dr. Henry Kissinger. Malcolm Gladwell said this about the Seventh Sense, “The next president needs to read The Seventh Sense, starting on the morning of November 9th. Joshua Ramo’s latest book is a fascinating guide to the way the world is changing.” At once a great interpreter of the past to illuminate the future while at the same time a cipher for events happening around us, decrypting what they mean.

In this episode, we go through the 8 simple steps to creating a unique, engaging and powerful brand for your business - even if you’re starting from scratch! Most people think that choosing a few colours they like, randomly selecting a Google font from the millions out there, knocking up a logo in Paint and Shutter-stocking some images gets them a great brand. All of that will get you ‘a’ brand, but most likely not a GREAT brand. Everyone has a brand whether they've worked at it or not. Your brand is how your business is perceived by others. How it makes them think, feel and behave. Make sure you're in control of yours!In the Content Report this week, it’s my turn to completely ignore the point of business advice and instead turning back to the extremely interesting and game-changing world of crypto-currencies with The Crypto Revolution by Sam Volkering. If you want to be part of the internet 2.0 - time to jump in now! We also talk about The Seventh Sense by Joshua Cooper Ramo. All about the power of networks - this goes hand-in-hand with the new developments in the Blockchain world. Let's get to it! No time for the whole show? No worries!

Make America great again! It was President Trump's rallying cry on the campaign trail. And, his win and Brexit's victory at the polls tell us that nationalism is on the rise. But how does that sit with a global economy that is increasingly inter-connected? Every day a soaring amount of information and data crosses national boundaries. So where does that leave the nation state? We hear from both sides of the Atlantic. Manuela Saragosa is joined by guests Joshua Cooper Ramo, co-CEO of Kissinger Associates; Victoria Nash, deputy director of the Oxford Internet Institute; Lawrence Wintermeyer, CEO of Innovate Finance and Ryan Bourne, chair in public understanding of economics at the Cato Institute in Washington.

Moe Abdou and Joshua Cooper Ramo discuss the power of network connectivity, China & the U.S. election. 

This book is very different than the types of books I usually focus on. It’s not “self-development” per se; it’s more like “state-development”—as in, the optimal politics for our nation and world. The main thrust of the book is that we are entering a revolutionary time, the era of “Great Connection.” His primary focus is on a macro level. In our Note we focus on how we can apply this wisdom on an individual level. Big Ideas include a look at the #1 illness of our era and how to deal with it, why we need Hard Gatekeeping, the difference btwn complicated and complex and building a 10,000 year clock while answering the call to revolution.
