I sit down with Junius Nottingham Jr, founder of JNottGTT, a non-profit for Lynch Syndrome awareness. Junius tells the story of his son Jeremy, who was a secret service agent and so much more, who passed at age 30. Junius discovers his own colon cancer after his son's diagnosis, but it was found early, and he was ok just after surgery. As a parent, I feel that level of guilt and responsibility, and I applaud Junius for staying in this, and using his platform to help others. Junius reminds us that it's ok not to be ok, and thanks God for keeping him going, even when disucussing such a difficult subject.

If you spend time in classical Christian schools you'll probably hear the phrase “the true, the good, and the beautiful.” These ideals represent the highest values and aspirations of humanity originating in Greek philosophy and found throughout the works of Plato- but what do they actually mean, and why do they matter today… beyond being an inspiring slogan or an ideal phrase to put on a wall hanging from Hobby Lobby? How do these concepts serve as a framework for raising the next generation and achieving full human flourishing? Listen to this episode with guest Junius Johnson to dive in.

Morgan & Co., providing insights into their role in shaping American capitalism, as well as their connections to major political and economic events, including the Panic of 1907 and World War I. The House of Morgan is considered one of the definitive works on the history of American banking and finance.Chapter 2 Is The House of Morgan Book A Good BookThe House of Morgan: An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Finance by Ron Chernow is widely considered to be a good book.

If you have an interest in finance, history, or the workings of Wall Street, this book is highly recommended.Chapter 3 The House of Morgan Book by Ron Chernow Summary"The House of Morgan: An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Finance" is a book written by Ron Chernow. It explores the history of the famous American banking institution, J.P. Morgan & Co., and the impact it had on the development of the modern financial system.Chernow starts by tracing the origins of the Morgan banking dynasty, which began with the arrival of Scottish immigrant George Peabody to the United States in the early 19th century. Peabody's firm, originally called George Peabody & Co., became one of the most prominent financial institutions in the country, setting the stage for the rise of the Morgan family.The narrative then shifts to the story of Junius Spencer Morgan, who immigrated from England and became a partner in George Peabody & Co. Junius later established his own firm in partnership with his son, J. Pierpont Morgan, and it was under J.P. Morgan's leadership that the House of Morgan truly became a dominant force in American finance.Chernow chronicles J.P. Morgan's strategic maneuvering, such as the acquisition of failing companies and the reorganization of struggling industries. Morgan's financial acumen and well-placed connections allowed him to influence government policy and shape major decisions in the business world.The author also delves into the role of the Morgan bank in shaping U.S. economic policy, particularly during times of crisis. The House of Morgan played a crucial role in stabilizing the financial system during the Panic of 1907, and its actions prompted the creation of the Federal Reserve System to prevent future financial disasters.Chernow also explores the personal lives of the Morgan family, including their philanthropic endeavors and their relationships with prominent figures of the era. He sheds light on the tensions within the family and the conflicts that arose as the younger generations inherited the bank.Overall, "The House of Morgan" provides a comprehensive and engaging account of the rise and influence of one of the most powerful banking institutions in American history. Chernow's meticulous research and compelling storytelling make this book a must-read for anyone interested in the development of modern finance and the individuals who shaped...
In our series on the foundations of civilization, we have come through the Logos, to definitions of words and the importance of a common language, and now to how language leads to stories that give voice to meaning. In this discussion, Director Hodges speaks with Dr. Junius Johnson, scholar and writer, about his book on Fairy Stories and the importance of story to define the identity of a people.
What are human beings like outside of the constraints of social conventions? How do we work out the tension between state sovereignty and individual freedom? What place does religion have in society? , Dr. Junius Johnson and Fr. Wesley Walker discuss these questions and more as they delve into Jean-Jacques Rousseau's monumental work of political philosophy, The Social Contract. Rousseau was a fascinating character whose work influenced generations of thinkers after him. Endnotes: Wesley and Junius co-offer this lecture by former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, “Faith on Modern Areopagus” in which he discusses some of the positive connections between liberalism and Christianity: Tell us what you think below. What are your impressions of Rousseau? What do you think of his reconstruction of the state of nature? Do you think his articulation of the Social Contract, especially the way the general will and individual wills interact, is persuasive? Is his account of religion in civil society helpful, harmful, or neutral? Get full access to The Classical Mind at www.theclassicalmind.com/subscribe

Discover the incredible true story of how one of history's most successful potato farmers began life as a slave and worked until he was named the "Potato King of the World"!Junius G. Groves came from humble beginnings in the Bluegrass State. Born in Kentucky into slavery, freedom came when he was still a young man and he intended to make a name for himself. Along with thousands of other African Americans who migrated from the South, Junius walked west and stopped in Kansas. Working for a pittance on a small potato farm was no reason to feel sorry for himself, especially when he's made foreman. But Junius did dream of owning his own farm, so he did the next best thing. He rented the land and worked hard! As he built his empire, he also built a family, and he built them both on tons and tons and tons of potatoes. He never quit working hard, even as the naysayers doubted him, and soon he was declared Potato King of the World and had five hundred acres and a castle to call his own.From award winning author Tonya Bolden and talented illustrator Don Tate comes a tale of perseverance that reminds us no matter where you begin, as long as you work hard, your creation can never be called small potatoes. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/avant-garde-books/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/avant-garde-books/support

Everything I'm about to share with you happened in England and France during the lifetime of Thomas Jefferson, while America still had its “new baby” smell.The English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge gave us “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” in 1798, while Napoleon sailed to Egypt to fight the Battle of the Pyramids and famously discover the Rosetta Stone.Coleridge died of heart failure due to his opium addiction.Wordsworth gave us “The Rainbow” in 1802, while the people of France enthusiastically approved a new constitution that elevated Napoleon to dictator for life.Wordsworth died of a lung infection.Shelley gave us “Ozymandias,” the tale of a fallen and forgotten emperor, in 1818, while Napoleon languished in exile on the island of Saint Helena in the Atlantic.Shelley died in a boating accident at the age of 29.Keats gave us “La Belle Dame sans Mercy” in 1819, while Napoleon continued to languish on Saint Helena.Keats died of tuberculosis at the age of 25.“Le Belle Dame sans Mercy” in English means “The Beautiful Girl without Mercy,” but you and I know her as Fame and Fortune.You've often heard the names of Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats, but did you know that each of these English Romantic poets was inspired by an imaginary 15th-century monk named Thomas Rowley?But imaginary through he was, Thomas Rowley re-ignited the flames of romantic literature in England during the colorful years that he lived in the mind of an adolescent boy in poverty.That boy, Thomas Chatterton, was born 15 weeks after his father died in 1752, when Thomas Jefferson was just 9 years old. Napoleon would not be born for another 3 years.Little Thomas spent his days with his uncle, the sexton of the church of St Mary, Redcliffe, where he would crawl through the attic of that vast, ancient building, examining the contents of oak chests stored there since 1185, where documents as old as the War of the Roses lay forgotten.By the time he was 6, young Thomas Chatterton had learned his alphabet from the illuminated capitals of those documents. By the time he was 11, Thomas had become so well-versed in the language and legends of earlier centuries that he began sending poems to “Felix Farley's Bristol Journal,” claiming they were transcribed from the writings of a monk named Thomas Rowley who had lived 300 years earlier.Aside from the hundreds of poems written by this imaginary monk, Chatterton wrote political letters, song lyrics, operas and satires in verse and in prose. He became known to the readers of the Middlesex Journal as Decimus, a rival of Junius, that author of the forever infamous Letters of Junius. Chatterton was also a contributor to Hamilton's Town and Country Magazine, and the Freeholder's Magazine, political publications supportive of liberty and rebellion.While the brilliant submissions of Thomas Chatterton were happily accepted by editors across England, he was paid little or no money for them.On the 17th of April, 1770, 17-year-old Thomas Chatterton penned a satire he called his “Last Will and Testament.” In it, he hinted that he was planning to end his life the following day.That famous poem by John Keats, “La Bella Dame sans Mercy,” may well have been written with Thomas Chatterton in mind. For the beautiful, merciless girl in that poem is a fairy – let us call her Fame & Fortune – who makes love to a medieval knight in his dreams, then leaves him sick and dying on a cold hillside when she...

In this episode we celebrate Black History Month and are joined by author Bruce Wolk to explore the inspiring life of sports legend Junius Kellogg and his incredible connection to Pan American World Airways. Junius Kellogg was born on March 16, 1927 in Haverstraw, New York to Lucy Lee Williams and Theodore Kellogg. Young Junius always excelled in the classroom as an outstanding student, but also was an exceptional athlete in every sport he attempted.While in high school, Junius made the Virginia State High School All-Star Team, as well as, earning earn high marks in academics. After graduating in 1946, he was awarded a scholarship to West Virginia State, however, he was drafted into the U.S. Army after only one semester.While in the military in 1948, Junius was named 1st Army all-around athlete. The next year he was offered a basketball scholarship to Manhattan College as the school's first African American scholarship recipient. When eligible to play in the 1950-1951 season, the 6'10” Kellogg made an immediate impact on the team.In January 1951, after reporting that someone was attempting to bribe him, Junius helped authorities uncover the biggest betting scandal in collegiate basketball history. And was subsequently hailed a national hero for his honesty and courage. But despite this, a career in the NBA eluded him mainly because being the whistleblower embarrassed some of the league's executives and star players that were likely involved in past betting schemes. After graduation in June 1953, he was invited to join the Harlem Globetrotters, even though he still dreamed of becoming a professional basketball player in the NBA. That dream was shattered and his life forever changed on April 2, 1954 when a horrific car accident left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. While recovering in the Bronx Veterans Hospital, Junius was approached to be head coach of the Pan Am Jets, a wheelchair basketball team sponsored by Pan American World Airways. In addition, Pan Am offered him a job in the accounting department.He became the first African American coach in the history of wheelchair basketball, and with the Pan Am Jets brought the sport to people throughout the world. Junius coached the U.S. Wheelchair Basketball team to a gold medal at the Tokyo 1964 Paralympic Games. Inspired by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, he left coaching and devoted his professional life to community activism through the New York City Development Agency and the Eastern Paralyzed Veterans Association. Junius Kellogg has been inducted into the National Wheelchair Basketball Association's Hall of Fame, as well as, the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. He died at age 71 on September 16, 1998. To learn more about Mr. Kellogg and to watch a tribute video, visit the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum.

Liz Truss war angetreten, die neue Eiserne Lady zu werden. Während jedoch Margaret Thatcher elf Jahre regierte, währte Truss‘ Amtszeit nur anderthalb Monate. Nach ihrem Rücktritt sollten wir uns nicht von den parteipolitischen Querelen ablenken lassen, stattdessen sollten wir den Fokus auf die Ökonomie verschieben, denn der Fall ist ziemlich einmalig in der Geschichte westlicher moderner Staaten. Liz Truss und ihr Finanzminister wollten Thatchers Wirtschafts- und Finanzpolitik wiederbeleben, indem sie den Spitzensteuersatz von 45 auf 40 Prozent senken wollten, um so im Sinne der längst widerlegten Trickle-Down-Theorie allen Briten mehr Wohlstand zukommen zu lassen. Das überrascht bei einer neoliberalen Regierung wenig, erstaunlich war aber die Reaktion der Finanzmärkte. Sie entzogen der Regierung das Vertrauen, indem sie sich plötzlich weniger interessiert an britischen Staatsanleihen zeigten. Die britische Notenbank wiederum versuchte, mit höheren Zinsen zu locken, als dies nicht gelang, kaufte die Notenbank selbst Staatsanleihen, was das Vertrauen der Märkte nicht gerade erhöhte. Das Finanzkapital zeigte sich immer skeptischer – rückte es etwa von neoliberalen Dogmen ab? Während Thatcher die Arbeiter disziplinierte, disziplinierten die Märkte Truss, die dadurch zum Aufgeben gezwungen wurde. Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“. Literatur: Thomas Biebricher: Neoliberalismus zur Einführung, Junius. Adam Tooze: “What is Kwasi Kwarteng really up to?

This continues the British centric focus on the approach to the American Revolution. We cover the many distractions of the British government and get into some of the many ways government policy and grip on reality was just lacking in so many ways.John Wilkes and his saga is a major distraction and a fascinating story. But there is also Junius, the East India Company, The Present Discontents, Fox bathing in cream and foreign policy oriented towards Europe. We cover how the Townsend Acts, the Intolerable Acts and the Mansfield decision abolishing slavery complete the revolutionary coalition in America.
We activate SEED mode once more and head back to the Cosmic Era to discuss the series everyone loves to hate - SEED Destiny! The series starts out strong with ruins of Junius 7 raining down on the Earth and Blue Cosmos exercising their quick nuclear trigger finger. However, we then nosedive into a rapid tailspin as Cagalli says yes to the dress, Jesus Yamato returns by sacrificing the entire new cast, Heine shows up just to die, Rey wastes our screen time, N-Jammer Cancellers disappear without a mention, and everyone refuses to use basic forms of communication to solve their problems. Come aboard our Destiny documentary flight, but bring your parachute because we are going down.
Me and my guest this week talk Mad
