How 8 Successful CEOs Allocated Capital to Build Durable Businesses

Think of CEOs who have made strong rates of return for investors and built durable businesses. What strategies do you associate with their success? Investor and author William Thorndike studied eight CEOs who outperformed the market and their peers. The group included big names, like Warren Buffet and Katharine Graham, but also other leaders who are virtually unknown today. One example is Henry Singleton, an MIT-educated electrical engineer who led Teledyne Technologies from 1960 to 1986. Thorndike noticed that these eight iconoclastic leaders all took a similar approach to capital allocation. They focused on investing their companies' profits to repurchase their own stock when prices were optimal. But they generally avoided very large acquisitions, accruing debt, and paying dividends. In this episode, you'll learn how effective capital allocation strategies, like the ones used by these leaders, can generate wealth for shareholders. Thorndike is the author of The Outsiders: Eight Unconventional CEOs and Their Radically Rational Blueprint for Success. Key episode topics include: strategy, strategic planning, entrepreneurship, operations and supply chain management, leadership, capital allocation, debt, dividends, stock buybacks, acquisitions.

I want you to see, feel and think in new ways so you can change, and the times are changing quickly now. I look for guests who are going to help you understand things from a fresh perspective. Today I have Lorraine Hariton here with me. She is a marvelous person who is in our new book, Women Mean Business: Over 500 Insights from Extraordinary Leaders to Spark Your Success. And when you hear what she's going to tell you today, you'll know why Women Mean Business has been such an absolutely amazing experience. Every time I open the book, it sheds new light on what women are doing in business. Lorraine's bio: She's president and CEO of Catalyst. Now, if you're not familiar with Catalyst, it's a global nonprofit working with the world's most powerful CEOs and leading companies to build workplaces that work for women. Catalyst's vision and mission are to accelerate progress for women through workplace inclusion. This lifelong passion for Lorraine has helped her build a career with senior level positions in Silicon Valley as an entrepreneur and executive, and beginning at IBM, Lorraine then served in the administration in the Department of State and developed the global STEM Alliance at the New York Academy of Sciences. She has also served on the UN Women Global Innovation Coalition For Change, the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University, and the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs and Executives, but it is as president of Catalyst that I met Lorraine. And that's what we're going to talk about today: about what organizations can do to really build workplaces that work for women. Lorraine, thank you so much for coming today. Lorraine Hariton: Andrea, thank you so much. It's my pleasure to be here. Andi Simon: It's so much fun. Tell the audience more about your journey because I can read the bio. But you've had a wonderful career with a passion and purpose, and I'd like you to share that if you could. Lorraine Hariton: So first of all, I want to say that the career that you just talked about is very different from the career I might have imagined when I was young. It's gone in a lot of different directions. And I look forward to sort of talking about that. So when I was a child, my biggest influence was really my mother, specifically when she came into the workplace, which was in the 50s. She was originally a teacher. And like many of her generation, she went back. She left the workplace when she had her three children. But then she went back and got a master's degree and eventually a PhD in psychology, actually around women's sexual fantasies during intercourse. It was very controversial. She ended up on the front cover of Psychology Today, and then she had the next phase, a career as a psychologist and a lecturer out on Long Island. So she really gave me a sense that you can have different phases in your life, you can accomplish different things, and women should have independent, strong careers. So she was a big influence. Then the other big influence on me was, I had dyslexia, I still have dyslexia. And because of that, I had certain real strengths and certain things that were limitations. I wasn't very popular. I wasn't a great athlete, but I was good in math. I ended up using that math ability to have a career in technology very early on. In fact, when I was in college — I originally went to college in upstate New York, at Hamilton College — my calculus professor suggested that I take an independent study computer science course at Hamilton College before there were even computers on campus. We just had a teletype terminal into the Air Force base in Rome, New York. But I wrote my own computer program. I fell in love with it, and it caused me to transfer to Stanford, where even at Stanford, they didn't actually have a computer science degree. Undergraduate is math sciences, math, computer science, statistics, and operations research. But it really gave me this great foundation into something that my first passion was really around: computers and the application of computers into solving problems. So I transferred to Stanford. I got a sense of that environment. I ended up taking a job, actually, back in New York for American Airlines, doing a big linear programming model for ferrying fuel around the American Airline system. But, I decided I didn't really like just programming. I wanted to do something that was more people oriented within the computer industry. So at that time, IBM was a big place to work. It was like the Google or the Apple of the time. So I got a job actually in sales working for IBM, and I worked in the apparel industry in New York, knocking on doors, selling mid-sized computers to the apparel industry, which was really fun. I really enjoyed it and I excelled at it. So I decided I wanted to be on the business side of the technology industry. I went back to Harvard Business School, got my MBA, and decided to go back to California working for IBM, the next level in the sales track at IBM. And there was the other reason I went back to IBM: to look into all the jobs at Harvard Business School that IBM had for women in leadership roles. It had the ability to balance career and family and a proven track record of enabling women to do that. I was really looking for a workplace where I could be successful balancing career and family, which is still the number one challenge for women in business. And, through my work at Catalyst, I see that every day. So I went back to IBM, but eventually I went into Silicon Valley. IBM actually acquired a company in Silicon Valley. I went to work for them. And then I ended up having a career at IBM. So I started in Silicon Valley, started at IBM, and then I left them to go to become an executive at a mid-sized company. And eventually I actually did two startups in Silicon Valley. So I had a career at all these different levels. But in my early 50s, I wanted to really do something that was more impactful. I had had a successful career there and I became involved in women's leadership issues because really that was a defining thing around my success and my lived experience. I initially got involved in the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs and Executives that became WaterMark. That was a women's leadership network in Silicon Valley. I really benefited from my relationships that I had with women in Silicon Valley. We all bonded together. We even did great trips, like we went to India and Vietnam together. I went to the Clayman Institute for Gender Research. I then decided to, after I left my second startup, to get involved in helping Hillary Clinton run for President of the United States in the 2008 cycle. So I took all my sales skills and my business skills that I had learned, and I focused on fundraising for her. And as a result of that, I became one of her top fundraisers in the Bay area and really expanded my network. I got to know a lot of people and that enabled me to go to work for her, even though she didn't win the the nomination, of course, we all know, but to work for her at the State Department as a special representative for commercial and business affairs. And, by the way, through all of this, I had my two children. I raised my two children in Palo Alto, California. And of course, that was the other part of my life that was, is, and continues to be very important. I now have three grandchildren as well as part of that. So that balance of career and family has always been important to me. I also will mention that being in Silicon Valley in tech in those days had a lot of challenges. And I think that is why that's been so important to me as the second major passion that has driven my life. This focus on women in the workplace, and understanding that I was part of the first generation of women who really came of age after the very substantial change in the women's movement that happened in the late 60s and early 70s, that opened up the doors for women to have real careers.  Like my mother, in her generation, you didn't have young children and work. You couldn't go into the workplace and have a career. We read about Sandra Day O'Connor recently. We know that she wasn't able to do that. Ruth Bader Ginsburg wasn't able to do that. I was part of that generation that went into the workplace that was able to look ahead and develop a career, and was thinking about balancing career and family. But we had a very, very rigid environment. You know, when I had my first child in 1985, we had to order business maternity suits from a catalog. I could only take six weeks off because they didn't have maternity leaves. They just had disability, and when I've met with some of my friends and we talked about this, we all had the same circumstances, didn't have the type of environment that you have right now. So I have that perspective of wanting to change that workplace. And we still have work to do on that. So my reason for wanting to help Hillary at the time when I had the luxury to be able to do that, was because I really wanted to see the world change in the first woman president. But not only did I pursue that passion and use the skills that I had learned through my business and for my sales career to help her, it opened up a whole new avenue for me that became the next chapter in my life for ten years, really focused on that. So I went to the State Department, and in the State Department, it was great. I was able to travel all around the world representing the United States, help businesses overseas, do diplomatic agenda around economic and business issues. And I also launched a big program called the Global Entrepreneurship Program, which is still at the State Department, where we worked on capacity-building in countries to take our innovation agenda and bring it overseas as part of our diplomatic agenda. So that was a very fulfilling experience. I left in 2014 because it was a political appointment. It ended and then I thought, well, I think there's a very good chance she would run again. So I did a portfolio career of doing consulting. I worked at the New York Academy of Science, as you mentioned, doing business development for them, and launched this Global STEM Alliance program. I launched a great program called 1000 Girls, 1000 Futures, which was a virtual mentoring program for girls in STEM. I helped Hillary but of course, we know the end of that story and that didn't happen. And by then I was lucky enough to be recruited to Catalyst, which has been just a wonderful opportunity for me. So I joined them in 2018. I am going to be retiring from Catalyst when we find a replacement. So it's been about a five and a half years' journey at this point that's been really fulfilling for me because it really has aligned this great passion I have with all the things I've learned over my career to really make change for that organization and to really impact women in the workplace. Andi Simon: You know, as I listen to you, and I want to stay focused on your career, but for the listener or the viewer, there wasn't a straight line. This was a journey with detours and serendipity and moments and all kinds of things that you capitalized on. Were you particularly risk averse or were you particularly adventuresome? I mean, when I take my archetype, I'm an explorer or a philosopher, and I've been to 37 countries and I worked abroad many times. I, like you, don't need a structure, I need opportunity. I need an adventure. Sounds like you have had adventure through life without care about whether or not it was the end, it was onto something new. Tell the listener a little bit about how you do that? Do you do that with that particular mindset that simply says, go for it, what the heck? Or do you have to plan it out? Lorraine Hariton: Well, you know, I've evolved over time. I am very planful. And in the beginning of my career, I was focused. When I joined IBM, they had a clear path for you. You didn't have to think about it. “This is what you needed to do.” And I bought into that path. Over time, sometimes when I had my biggest bumps in my life because I've been fired, I've been put someplace else, maybe not fired, but it was a detour. Those things have happened. But, you know, out of those things, in those moments of reflection, is when I think I was able to grow the most, to really learn and reflect on my strengths and weaknesses and what motivates me and to reorient myself. These periods of transition can be real opportunities. And in my late 40s and early 50s is when I really started to understand that what I needed to do is to align my strengths and what I really love to do behind my passions, and to let the universe help me understand what those passions are. And in fact, that's what I'm doing right now, as I look to my next chapter after Catalyst. I'm trying to open up the aperture and give myself time to evolve and think and let the universe take me in the direction, but with an understanding of what I really enjoy, where I have passion, what I'm really good at, where I give, and even in this moment, I try this out, I'm not that excited. Try this out, yes, I'm really excited about it. And yes, I find that I can do the things that I really am in the zone on, that I naturally do well and then I focus on those things. So that evolution, it's not really a risk thing. I'm a pragmatist. I'm very practical, focused, like a doer, but this understanding that life can take you in different directions, but you've got to be a lifelong learner. You've got to lean into your strengths. You got to evolve those is the way I found the most meaning and purpose and fulfillment. Andi Simon: And to your point, when people say to me, how did you get to be a corporate anthropologist? I say, I made it up. And they say, you know, the imposter syndrome. I say, I've lived my whole life doing imposter stuff. I've never been fully skilled at whatever I've been. I spent 20 years in industry as an executive, in banks and in health care. I was a tenured professor, and I've been in business for 21 years now, making it up as we go along because each client's different, each opportunity is different. But the joy is the joy of creating. And I think that what you've done at Catalyst, and I want to go back to Catalyst for a moment, because I do think it's been joyful for you, but it's been a creative process. My hunch is, you've brought it along in a way that has been quite meaningful for you in the organization. Can you share with us a little bit about your own thoughts about Catalyst, about what's happened in women in the workplace? Because this is not inconsequential. When I was an executive, I went to board meetings. There were 49 men and no other women than me. We didn't say much. We sat there hoping we could finish the meeting without getting in trouble. It's a different world today. What do you see happening and how is Catalyst doing stuff? Lorraine Hariton: Well, when I came to Catalyst in 2018, Catalyst had been around almost 60 years, and it's an iconic organization. For those of you who are not familiar, we have around 500 major corporations. We have a board of directors made up of CEOs of major organizations. I mean, it's really a who's who and has a tremendous brand, but the organization itself had lost some momentum. So I was brought as a change agent. I sometimes say, it was this beautiful brownstone in Brooklyn Heights that the old lady had not been renovating as much as they should have. So I had to do a lot of infrastructure and internal changes as well as set the strategy and the plan. It's really been a transformation. And we're still transforming. The rate of change, the rate of technological change, is so great that every organization needs to move forward. And what Catalyst needed to do as an organization has changed over time. We celebrated our 60th anniversary a couple of years ago, so I really had a lot of opportunities to reflect on what Catalyst was. Catalyst started with a woman who had been a Smith College graduate who wanted to go into business, and after her children got into school, she saw the doors were closed for her because in many cases, classified as gendered. You know, you could be a secretary, but you couldn't be a salesperson. You couldn't be an executive. Very limited choice. So her objective was to provide part time work for educated women after their kids were in school. That's what she was trying to do. Today we're trying to help women thrive, from the shop floor to the C-suite, so that everyone can be successful by their own definition. Now, along the way, there's been a lot of changes in what Catalyst focused on. And of course, what happened for women in the workplace. One of the key things that changes Catalyst is a focus not only on how women can be effective and improve their capabilities and skills, but how we change the work environment. That's why we now talk about our mission of creating workplaces that work for women. So a lot of Catalyst's work is helping these companies create the environment where women can be successful. Catalyst does research and it provides a whole range of tools and capabilities to help these companies be successful, and then a lot of community and convenings to bring them together to share best practices, the need for tools and capabilities, in addition to research, has accelerated over the last ten years or so as companies really dig in to make those changes to create that environment that works for women. So we think about things like: now we call them paternity leaves, not just maternity leaves. And in many cases in the large companies, they're as much as four months and they're trying to get men to do them as well as women. That's a sea change, more flexibility. The whole pandemic accelerated this move to more flexible working, but that's something Catalyst has been talking about for a long time. Measuring change is really important and that's evolved. Our most recent report that we're going to be putting out shows that 93% of companies, large companies in the Catalyst portfolio, do pay equity studies. Now, even five years ago, they were not doing that. So that's changed. The environment has changed radically and Catalyst has evolved with it. Also the infrastructure to support the types of skills we need, the type of technology we need, has evolved with it. But you know, just to think about this, today there are over 10% women CEOs in the Fortune 500. In my early career in the 80s and the 90s, every year that they would come out with the Fortune 500, I would look and the only person who was the CEO was Katharine Graham, who took over The Washington Post when her husband committed suicide. Now she did a great job, but she was not doing it all on her own merit. What we see is the women who came into the workplace, like I did in the early 70s, early to mid-70s, all but in the 1950s, all entered the workplace in the 70s. Those are the ones who became CEOs around the turn of the 21st century, starting with Jill Barad at Mattel, Andrea Jung at Avon, Anne Mulcahy at Xerox, followed by Ursula Burns, Ginni Rometty at IBM, Indra Nooyi at PepsiCo…a diverse group of really talented, amazing women were the first group who really were able to do that. Over the last five years, we've doubled. We now have over 30% women on boards. And in the Catalyst community, we have over 30%  in senior leadership, in our membership. So what that means is there's a new norm that's a critical mass, 30% is critical mass. So we are critical mass on a lot of these measures. That is why Catalyst now is not focusing on women on boards. We're focusing on how all women can thrive from the shopfloor to the sweep and every level. So that's an evolution of who Catalyst is. I've been driving that broader definition of success as we've evolved to what really needs to be done, and also in response to companies who understand that women have 60% of the undergraduate degrees now. They're graduating more law degrees and more medical degrees. We have a much more diverse population. We're focused on diversity. And that is why there's a lot of things, a lot of political issues around DEI as a word. But the fact of the matter is, companies are very committed, so they know they have to have a diverse workforce. They've all got to work together. They've all got to feel like they belong. And in the United States and around the world, we have to be able to work together to have a really impactful, innovative workforce. So that's what we're working on. Andi Simon: I am having such fun listening to you. And I don't know if you and I have had enough time for me to hear, or my audience to hear, how the world has changed. Remember, I'm a corporate anthropologist who helps companies change. What I love to do is change, and what you are articulating is your own career evolved. Catalyst's whole mission and purpose have evolved, and the workplace that you are focused on is evolving into a whole new and much better, inclusive, exciting place for women to thrive. And isn't this exciting to watch and see? I'm not quite sure it's going to go backwards, because I think that the pressure from talented women for new ways of doing things is going to transform the workplace. You know, how do you have a blended life, if not a balanced life. I met one person who was building childcare at the office because he knew that was the only way he was going to keep his workforce. What's so hard? Why are we not paying attention to our children? You know, bring them to work and make them part of the whole culture that we have here. And I don't think the pandemic has been all that bad. My clients that I coached during that time, we're actually having a wonderful experience of being home and working and doing it with a different use of time and space. But it's a really interesting opportunity for you to see that and now to think through what's next, a radical next. Because I have a hunch you'd love to radically change the next phase in some fashion. It's technology, it's transformation, it's new openness to it. What do you see coming next? Lorraine Hariton: Well, you mentioned technology and I mentioned I am a technologist by training. Technology drives change now. The changes that allowed women to become part of the workforce were driven by the birth control field, the vacuum cleaner, electrification, the reduction of the need for women to stay home and do all these tasks. The knowledge worker being the key person in the workplace. And that's only accelerating. So we should understand we are the result of the worlds we live in. My mother was a result of that. RBG was a result of that. My daughter is going to be a result of the environment that she's a part of, as well as my grandchildren. So technology is the biggest driver of those changes. We are going to be living in a world where I hope we have more flexibility to integrate career and family, and to really be able to have women really have equal ability to make their own decisions on how they want to balance their life. I mean, that's what we're trying to do so that every woman thrives by their own definition of success. So that's what we're working towards. Andi Simon: You know, I'm sitting and listening and I'm hopeful. I have a woman I know who's president of a large insurance company. And we were sitting and talking not too long ago. She said, Well, let me tell you, I was a coat girl. She said, I'd walk into Lloyd's of London with a deal, and they'd hand me their coats as the men walked in, one after another, they thought I was a coat girl. And finally after they all had sat down, and I turned around and sat at the head of the table and saidy, Now let me tell you about the deal I brought you. And the guys all went, Oh! And she said, Do you think that will ever stop? And I said, Yes. I'm not sure when but I guess you could have stopped it if you wanted to at that moment. But somehow the woman has to be able to comfortably say, I'm sorry, but the coat rack is over there, or No, I'm not taking notes today. Who shall we have as our note-taker today? How do we assert ourselves in a way that establishes a more balanced role? Now you're smiling at me. You're thinking about something. What are you thinking of?  Lorraine Hariton: I think there's a two way street here. Catalyst has done a lot of work on this. Not only do the women need to do that, but the men need to become advocates and allies for women in the workplace. In fact, Catalyst has a whole initiative called MARC: Men Advocating Real Change. We're helping the men understand how they can be part of that change because I think the clearest example is, they say that women don't negotiate for salary increases as well as men. There's a big pay gap, and it's a result of this. It's not just the women not negotiating. It's the culture that doesn't enable them to negotiate. So a woman in general is much better off with someone else asking. Because it's like this poster that I have in the back here from an unconscious bias campaign we did which says: She's not aggressive, she's assertive. Well, if a man goes and asks for a raise, he's assertive and he should get a raise. A woman goes in, she's aggressive, you know. So, we've got to do both of those things. Andi Simon: I often preach that the words we use create the worlds we live in. And you just made an important point there, because the word that you use takes the same behavior and makes it good or bad. And it is very interesting because the definers of those meanings…humans are meaning makers. And if the guys are the definers of the meaning, one thing happens. But somehow we've got to get a balance in how we think about the behavior as being. Is it assertive or is it aggressive? Well, it's the same behavior. Who's defining it? And how do we then create a mirror back so the women know that that's the right behavior and the guys understand that that's not acceptable from them. I work with some companies where I watch the guys' backlash and I say, Why don't we collaborate on the transformation instead of becoming adversarial or resisters to it? Change is humanly painful. The brain hates it. So let's create a new story because we're story-makers. And if I can create a new story, then we can live that new story. But if we're going to fight the story out, it's going to be quite interesting. I know too many women who have left corporate because they were tired of the story that put them in the wrong role, and they went out to launch their own business or find some other place. And so it's an interesting time for women to see what can be done and for men to help create a new environment. Are there some illustrative cases that you can share, or are they all proprietary and it's not possible to share them? Any kind of story that might illustrate how it's actually happening? Lorraine Hariton: Well, I will say there are many, many stories of success. If you go to the Catalyst website, we have tons of success stories, the stories of companies that transformed themselves. We have The Catalyst Award that we give out every year at our big annual conference in Denver. People nominate themselves. They go through an application process. It was very rigorous last year. The Hartford is one of the winners of it. They have transformed the company at every level with all the things we're talking about, measurements. They were able to get affecting bias sponsorship programs, really changing the fundamental culture of the organization. You can listen to what they do, but there's hundreds of examples of companies that have done great jobs around it. And of course, we have lots of examples. I mentioned some of the trailblazers, the Fortune 500, you read interviews, and books. And so there are many, many examples of successes, people who've affected the odds. People, companies who've done a great job of changing the culture. It's all over the place. So rather than name a specific one, I think that's good. Andi Simon: And if people are looking for companies to work for, they probably can find illustrations at Catalyst and your website to begin to go through. And that is a real resource to be available. You know, this has been such fun. I think that we're probably ready to share with our listeners or our viewers 1 or 2 things you want them to remember and then how to reach you if they'd like more information about you or about Catalyst. What do you think?  Lorraine Hariton: That sounds great. I think the overriding thing to say is that life is a journey. And that journey is to understand what your passions are, what gets you excited, what gets you up every day enjoying it, and then what do you really enjoy? In terms of your skills, what do you have the most to contribute to this world? And if you can align those, that's what I try to do. The other thing is to realize that there are lots of chapters in life, and you would need to make sure that you have the resiliency and the learning mindset to go from one chapter to the next and open the aperture around it. I'm happy to talk to anyone on this call. You can go to the Catalyst website at catalyst.org if you want to learn more about the work that we're doing. You can get ahold of me that way as well. I'm going to be going on to my next chapter as well. So I'm opening the aperture up. Andi Simon: Well, I can't wait to hear about your next chapter. I have a hunch it's going to be full of adventure and joy and beauty. And you leave behind you better places and with great purpose. Move forward. So it's been a pleasure. Thank you for joining us today. Lorraine Hariton: Thank you. Thank you for the opportunity. I really enjoyed it. Andi Simon: I just think it's a special moment to be able to go both into your life and all the work that you're doing in the wonderful way it's making a difference for my listeners and my viewers. Thank you for always coming. Remember, our job is to help you see, feel and think of new ways. And I think that a visit to Catalyst might help you see organizations that are already doing this and want to keep it going, and you can as well.

Many of us insist the main impediment to a full, successful life is the outside world. In fact, the most common enemy lies within: our ego. Early in our careers, it impedes learning and the cultivation of talent. With success, it can blind us to our faults and sow future problems. In failure, it magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back. Ego Is the Enemy draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to his­tory. We meet fascinating figures such as George Marshall, Jackie Robinson, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who all reached the highest levels of power and success by con­quering their own egos. Their strategies and tactics can be ours as well. In an era that glorifies social media, reality TV, and other forms of shameless self-promotion, the battle against ego must be fought on many fronts. Armed with the lessons in this book, as Holiday writes, “you will be less invested in the story you tell about your own specialness, and as a result, you will be liberated to accomplish the world-changing work you've set out to achieve.” Buy The book on AMAZON

Wychowywano ją na ozdobę salonów. Ojciec udziały w rodzinnej firmie wręczył jej mężowi - nie godzi się przecież, żeby mężczyzna pracował dla żony. Przez ponad dwie dekady była w cieniu swojego charyzmatycznego, ale i toksycznego małżonka: wiecznie krytykowana, uciszana, wyśmiewana, coraz bardziej znikała. Dopiero po czterdziestce i tragedii przejęła stery - własnego życia i biznesu. I, mimo paraliżującego braku pewności siebie, okazała się w tym dobra. Była pierwszą kobietą na kierowniczym stanowisku w grupie medialnej, a jej gazeta z drugorzędnego stołecznego dziennika stała się konkurencją dla “New York Timesa”. A po drodze doprowadziła do ustąpienia prezydenta i pomogła zakończyć wojnę.

In fact, the most common enemy lies within: our ego. Early in our careers, it impedes learning and the cultivation of talent. With success, it can blind us to our faults and sow future problems. In failure, it magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back. Ego Is the Enemy draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to his­tory. We meet fascinating figures such as George Marshall, Jackie Robinson, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who all reached the highest levels of power and success by con­quering their own egos. Their strategies and tactics can be ours as well. In an era that glorifies social media, reality TV, and other forms of shameless self-promotion, the battle against ego must be fought on many fronts. Armed with the lessons in this book, as Holiday writes, “you will be less invested in the story you tell about your own specialness, and as a result, you will be liberated to accomplish the world-changing work you've set out to achieve.” https://www.amazon.com/Ego-Enemy-Ryan-Holiday/dp/1591847818

Welcome to Day 1802 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Another Way – Daily Wisdom Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1802 of our Trek, and it's time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today's trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. We are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today's trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16)  How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!    If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life.  So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from Katharine Graham, and it is: A mistake is simply another way of doing things. Another Way Although we don't like them, or purposely make mistakes, they are part of everyday life.  If we get discouraged and give up, those mistakes will do us no good, except lead to failure. So while we should not make mistakes on purpose, but when we do, we need to learn the lessons that those mistakes teach us.  When we understand the lessons mistakes teach us, we discover one more path that we do not need to take, allowing us to start once again down a different path. So let us not quit, but keep moving forward.  God has provided us with the talents and abilities to accomplish His will for our lives.  God knows and understands that we will make mistakes, but that does not phase Him.  He does expect us to continue building His kingdom here on earth. So let us be about kingdom building with what God has already provided to us.  Fulfill your calling; the rewards are eternal. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Peter%204%3A9%2D11&version=NLT (1 Peter 4:10-11) God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.

In Part II of our Berkshire Hathaway Trilogy (!), we pick up the story with Warren wandering in the woods of Omaha, searching for his life's next chapter after retiring from the professional investing business at the top of his game at age 39. How does he emerge from those woods anew, transforming from Ben Graham's cigar-butt cocoon into the butterfly collector of Berkshire's wonderful businesses? (Spoiler: Charlie Munger.) And how did one rotten-to-the-core business nearly bring it all down — everything he'd ever worked for — in the span of one terrible week? Tune in!

We can't wait to see you there. Join here at: https://acquired.fm/lp/ Sponsors: Thanks to Tiny for being our presenting sponsor for all of Acquired Season 8. Tiny is building the "Berkshire Hathaway of the internet" — something they're so dedicated to, they even make and sell bronze busts of Warren & Charlie online! if you own a wonderful internet business that you want to sell, or know someone who does, you should get in touch with them. Just like Berkshire, they commit to quick, simple diligence, a 30-day or less process, and will leave your business to do its thing for the long term.

You can learn more about them at: https://bit.ly/acquired-vouch http://bit.ly/acquiredcapchase The Charlie Munger Playbook: (also available on our website at https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/berkshire-hathaway-part-ii ) 1. Change your mind. Evolve. Reinvent. Without Charlie's influence, Warren may have stuck to chasing cigar butts his entire career, and missed out on wonderful businesses like See's Candy, The Washington Post, Capital Cities, Geico (for the longterm) and Coca-Cola. Charlie's life experience taught him that the world can change on a dime, and what worked in the past won't necessarily work in the future. To succeed over the longterm you have to be a constant learning machine — which sounds obvious, but the difficult part is being willing to question your own deeply held assumptions and beliefs, and then discard them when they no longer fit reality. 2. Focus on getting a few simple things right — and the rest takes care of itself. Adapting his beloved grandfather's motto ("Concentrate on the task immediately in front of you, and control your spending."), Charlie learned early on that there are only a few bedrock sort of things in life that never change — and that if you just focus on getting those right, you'll do well. Find a great spouse who makes you better in life; buy wonderful businesses at fair prices; never get into a position where you're over-extended; be philanthropic when you can; have fun along the way. It's hard to argue much else matters. Reflecting back on his and Warren's success, Charlie says, "It isn't that we were so good at doing things that were difficult. We were good at avoiding things that were difficult — finding things that are easy." 3. Risk ≠ volatility. Risk = chance of going out of business. The Efficient Market Hypothesists of the 1970s-80s proposed that all investing risk could be reduced to "beta", or volatility relative to the market. This led to the 1980s' explosion of debt, derivatives and other "weapons of mass financial destruction" which people believed "riskless" because their volatility was hedged. Charlie and Warren recognized before anyone else that to the contrary, these instruments greatly ratcheted risk in the system! Operating with so much leverage, a single small but unexpected event could topple the whole house of cards. Unfortunately Warren and Charlie didn't listen to their own advice when entering the Salomon Brothers saga... 4. Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it. Some people (and companies or even whole industries) are addicted to "getting dirty" — deceiving, betraying, evading, cheating, belittling, and generally pursuing their own self-interest above all else. It can be tempting to engage with such people, because they often have or promise great financial rewards. But you can't win in the long run. As the saying goes — you'll both get dirty, and the pig will like it. Unfortunately again, Warren and Charlie didn't always listen to their own advice...

Biographer Carol Felsenthal joins Tim to tell the story of one of the most talked about members of a first family in 100 years. Alice Roosevelt Longworth was Teddy Roosevelt’s daughter who was well ahead of her time for her wildness, her outspokenness and her ability to make headlines. And long after Teddy died, Alice continued as force of nature for anyone who was anyone in Washington, D.C. throughout the 20th Century until her death at 96 years old in 1980. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Wild_Child_auphonic.mp3 Theodore Roosevelt, better known as Teddy Roosevelt was the nation’s 26th president. He had a colorful history in government and in the army. He was colonel of the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry that was better known as the “Rough Riders.” As president of the United States, he was no less tenacious. He was once shot by a would-be assassin while giving a speech, and he continued to deliver the speech to its end without quitting. So, it may not come as a surprise that Teddy would have a daughter with an equally indomitable spirit. Alice Roosevelt Longworth was born on February 12th, 1884. She grew up with five half-siblings and during her younger years, lived wherever her father’s jobs took the family. From Washington, D.C., to New York City. Historians have described Alice as intelligent, stubborn, and strong-willed. When her father Teddy became President of the United States in 1901, Alice would soon find herself in the spotlight – though some would say, she actually stole the limelight from her larger-than-life father. As First Daughter, Alice was a celebrity and the stories are many. Like the time she was found smoking on the White House roof. Or, carrying a snake in her purse. Or betting on horse races. The public loved her.  And since Teddy was a smart politician, he knew not to get between the public and someone they adored. She traveled the world as a member of the first family and served its goodwill ambassador. But it didn’t stop there. She would marry congressional representative Nicholas Longworth in 1906 and soon become one of the leading socialites in Washington society for the better part of the 20th Century until her death in 1980. Anyone who was anyone in Washington wanted to know her, and wanted to stay on her good side. She knew a lot of people and had a sharp wit. One of her most famous sayings is when she said: “If you don’t have anything good to say about someone, come here and sit next to me.” Carol Felsenthal is an author of numerous biographies, and she found the story of Alice Roosevelt Longworth just too good to pass up.

The public loved her.  And since Teddy was a smart politician, he knew not to get between the public and someone they adored. She traveled the world as a member of the first family and served its goodwill ambassador. But it didn't stop there. She would marry congressional representative Nicholas Longworth in 1906 and soon become one of the leading socialites in Washington society for the better part of the 20th Century until her death in 1980. Anyone who was anyone in Washington wanted to know her, and wanted to stay on her good side. She knew a lot of people and had a sharp wit. One of her most famous sayings is when she said: “If you don't have anything good to say about someone, come here and sit next to me.” Carol Felsenthal is an author of numerous biographies, and she found the story of Alice Roosevelt Longworth just too good to pass up.

Welcome to Day 1582 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomLove What You Do – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. Our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps; thanks for coming along on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Today is Day 1582 of our Trek, and it's time for your daily snippet of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today's trek. If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from Katharine Graham, and it is:   To love what you do and feel that it matters — how could anything be more fun?   Love What You Do It has been said that if you find work that you love, you won't have to work another day of your life. While I understand the meaning and motivation of this quote, there are aspects of any work that you may not love. There are aspects of every area of life that you may not love naturally. The key to love what you do is strongly controlled by our choices. Those choices start early in life by the hobbies we do, and the training we participate in. Those choices begin in our minds. I grew up on an apple orchard, and while there were many aspects of the hard work of farming that I did not particularly enjoy, we had work to do and we did it. As I look back to those formative years, I can see that my work helped support our family of twelve and learned many valuable lessons in the process. During those years, I also learned that I could choose to enjoy what I do, especially when it did make a difference. Those were difficult years, but we also had a lot of fun as a family. As I grew into adulthood, I realized that I enjoyed working because the work I was doing did make a positive impact. First, it provided for Paula and our five kids, and second, it also benefited those companies we served. Even when there were difficulties in our businesses, we chose to enjoy those times and learn the valuable lessons thrusts on us.  We knew that we should be grateful to God for everything we did and those who helped us achieve what we did. We learned that in all things, we are working for something that matters, which is going our very best in our service to God and others because it helps to grow God's kingdom on earth.  My appeal to you is to choose to love what you do in all aspects of life because you are making a difference in your world. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2010%3A31&version=NLT (1 Corinthians 10:31) So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%206%3A7&version=NLT (Ephesians 6:7) Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. As you ponder this nugget of daily wisdom yourself, I would ask you to please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.'

Book Vs Movie: “All the President’s Men” (1976) The Margos search for 70's creeps, dogged reporting, and “Deep Throat” “Follow the money.” The Watergate scandal of the early 1970s made headlines around the world as Richard Nixon and his loyal group of henchmen basically tried to intimidate their way into making Nixonian policies the law of the land (while breaking the law!)  And they would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for those meddling Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein who painstakingly investigated the Watergate hotel break-in for years. Under the leadership of publisher Katharine Graham and editor Ben Bradlee, Woodward and Bernstein helped expose the corruption of the Nixon administration and made newspapers look cool.  “All the President’s Men” was published in 1974 and immediately became a bestseller and made stars out the Washington Post team. So, of course, Hollywood came calling with an adaptation directed by Alan J. Pakula and a screenplay by past Book Vs Movie subject William Goldman.  Robert Redford’s production company “Wildwood Enterprises” helped bring together the team which includes himself play Bob Woodward and Dustin Hoffman as Carl Bernstein. Jason Robards won a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for playing Ben Bradlee.  So between book & movie--which did we like better? Have a listen!  In this ep the Margos discuss: The true story of Nixon’s crimes and why he almost got away with his multiple crimes The process of reporting and how much work went into it in a short period of time Who was “Deep Throat” and why didn’t anyone listen to Nora Ephron?

A Haverhill native has been named Broadcasting and Cable's 2020 Broadcaster of the Year.Emily Barr, president and CEO of Graham Media Group of Chicago, formally receives the prestigious award Oct. 1 during the Television Bureau of Advertising virtual Alt Forward Conference. Barr was a recent guest on WHAV's morning program where she spoke of her Haverhill roots.“I did grow up in Haverhill and I went to Walnut Square Elementary and Whittier Elementary School. Then, I spent a couple of years at Haverhill High School before I went off to boarding school in New Hampshire. That led me to college in Minnesota—to a lovely small school called Carlton College, and I just happened to be majoring in film criticism and film production, and a professor recommended that I consider an internship in a TV station,” she said.It was in a television newsroom that Barr caught the “broadcasting bug.” WHAV asked Barr if she had opportunities to be in front of the camera.“You know, I never really did, with a very, very minor exception. When I was an intern in Minneapolis, way back when, they needed somebody to sort of act, if you will, in what we call a news promo, promoting the television station. So, I was picked because I was the young intern, and I got to rip a piece of paper out of the typewriter, and look up at the camera and yell, ‘Sky Cam's on the way!' which was the helicopter. And it ran for like a year, so everyone in school made fun of me. And every time I walked around campus, people would yell ‘Sky Cam's on the way!'” Barr said.What has become the Graham Media Group was founded in 1949 as a joint venture of the Washington Post and CBS. The Washington Post name was dropped after the newspaper was sold to Jeff Bezos in 2013. The company is named for Katharine Graham, who served as CEO of the Washington Post Company.Barr, who has led the broadcast division of Graham Holdings since 2012, previously received the Golden Mike Award from the Broadcasters Foundation of America in 2018. In 2016, she was inducted into the 2016 Silver Circle of the Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.Besides television stations, Barr oversees the company's other offerings such as a social media software company.“It's called Social News Desk and what they do is provide software to about 2,500 newsrooms worldwide to help them put news out onto the internet, in a fairly easy fashion. They operate all over the world—primarily in the United States, but also in South America, Canada, Europe, the East, so forth. And then we have seven local television stations that operate in fairly good-sized cities around the country like Houston, Detroit, San Antonio, Orlando, Jacksonville and Roanoke, Va.,” she explained.During her Haverhill school years, Barr said, she didn't have a plan to head up a worldwide media company, but, in her words, “it worked out pretty well.”Support the show (https://whav.net/become-a-whav-member/)

Ego Is The Enemy is a new book published by best-selling author Ryan Holiday and is a philosophical exploration of difficulties we create for ourselves in life. Early in our careers, Ryan argues, ego impedes learning and the cultivation of talent. With success, ego can blind us to our faults and sow future problems. In failure, ego magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back. The book draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to history. Using the stories of people like William T. Sherman, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, all of whom reached the highest levels of power and success by conquering their own egos.

She made it profitable. I ate breakfast today, thanks to Katharine Graham, and the profit sharing plan that she put into place. Thank you, Mrs. Graham." Bob Levey, Washington Post Columnist, Retired and National Champion Bridge Player with Andy Ockershausen in studio interview Andy Ockershausen: This is Andy Ockershausen. This is Our Town. I keep saying this from time to time, but I mean it. This is very special to me, and for Our Town, to have Bob Levey come back to WMAL, where he starred for years and years in radio, but also everything else he did. Bob is an icon in Our Town, of a man that's been around for a long time, and is still active. I'm so very delighted for us to have this chance to talk about what you and I grew up in as radio television. Bob Levey: Andy, I appreciate the chance to be here, but what are we going to do? My ears are burning from that introduction. Do you have a fire extinguisher? Andy Ockershausen: No, no money. Bob Levey: Well that's no different from the old WMAL, right? Andy Ockershausen: The old WMAL. I used to have the argument all the time about the talent, and I said look, we're not in business to make you money. We're in business to make The Evening Star money to keep ‘em alive, and we did for a while. Bob Levey: You did for a long while- Andy Ockershausen: That's another story. Bob Levey: It is a long story, it is another story. The Washington Post - How Bob Levey Became Ben Bradlee's First Hire Andy Ockershausen: But you lived through it. You lived through the golden days of The Washington Post, and every day I think about how great The Post has been to Our Town, and to our people. Like it or love it, some people hate The Post, some people love it. But it's been a rock in Our Town. Bob Levey: A lot of people don't understand exactly why it has been a rock in Our Town. It certainly had to do with the unbelievably great Ben Bradlee, whose first hire at The Washington Post, by sheer accident, was me. Andy Ockershausen: No way. Bob Levey: Yeah. It did happen. Andy Ockershausen: He realized he made a mistake. Bob Levey: Here was the story: I had a job interview lined up with J. Russell Wiggins, who was the Editor of The Post, and a couple of weeks out, he said come in on Monday morning at 9 a.m. But over the weekend, President Johnson named him the Ambassador to the United Nations, so this new dude took over at 9 a.m. Monday morning, and he inherited Wiggins' calendar. The first guy he had to see was me. I walked in, and we didn't know quite what to do with each other, so he hired me on the spot. It was the first of a lot of lucky breaks in my life. Andy Ockershausen: To think about the great life you had up until then, I mean you were not out of the business. You started at six years old. That's kind of young to start in the journalism business, but you did. Then, when I'm reading about you, Bob, I didn't know ... You grew up in New York- From Growing Up in New York City to College at University of Chicago Bob Levey: New York City. Andy Ockershausen: High school and New York in the city. Then, going to the University of Chicago, which, to me, never meant journalism. Bob Levey: There was no journalism program at the University of Chicago, but on my first day on campus somebody said, "You really ought to check out the student newspaper for two reasons. One, it's a whole lot of fun; and two, there are a whole lot of girls there." I said, "You got the value of this backwards, but I'll show up." That began my serious, absolutely over-caffeinated, overwhelming love for the business. Andy Ockershausen: You had not done that in New York. You discovered that at Chicago? Bob Levey: No, I was too busy being other things when I was in high school.

Spielberg est un génie, mais Spielberg n’est pas à l’abri d’un mauvais film lorsqu’il s’attaque aux drames historiques, comme c’est le cas avec "Pentagon Papers". Et pourtant, pari réussi pour cette hallucinante reconstitution du processus de publication par le Washington Post de documents confidentiels, preuve que l’administration Nixon mentait au peuple américain en pariant sur une victoire improbable dans la guerre du Vietnam. La parution de l’information fut à l’époque décidé par Katharine Graham, patronne du Post (Meryl Streep), et le rédacteur en chef du journal, Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks). Sans tomber dans le pathos moralisateur ou dans le film à thèse, Spielberg met brillamment en scène des joutes verbales, morales et politiques où le mouvement de la caméra signifie le dialogue, où le dialogue est filmé comme une scène d’action. En mettant indirectement en lumière les mutations de la presse depuis les années 70, "Pentagon Papers" est aussi un film qui parle de l’Amérique d’aujourd’hui en envoyant un signal aux générations actuelles : réfléchissons à l’importance des médias dans l’Amérique de Trump.

The Filmlosophers, Eddie Villanueva, Chad Riley and Spencer Williams wax philosophical about the freedom of the press with this week's review of The Post (2017). Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film stars Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Bob Odenkirk, Matthew Rhys, Sarah Paulson, Alison Brie and others. The film chronicles the historic decision by The Washington Post's first female publisher, Katharine Graham, to proceed with coverage of the classified Pentagon Papers during the Nixon administration. The choice landed Graham and the paper in the Supreme Court alongside The New York Times, and the film provides a compelling portrayal of the difficulties Graham faced as a woman in a male-dominated industry. On the docket for this weekend in theaters is Paddington 2, The Commuter, starring Liam Neeson, and Proud Mary, starring the astounding Taraji P. Henson.

Meryl Streep Interview, The Post The Not Old Better Show, 'Movies for Adults' Interview Series After watching the new movie, The Post, from 20th Century Fox, starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, I had a chance to interview Ms Streep, which we'll get to in just a few minutes. First though, I want to share my review of the film, which I thought was excellent. For members of the Not Old Better audience, we will remember the subject of the Pentagon Papers, the top secret Department of Defense study on the US's involvement with Vietnam, and of course central to the film, and the publication of the papers in The Washington Post, is Katherine Graham, publisher, played by Meryl Streep.  In the film, Katharine Graham, played by Meryl Streep, is about to take her company public when the New York Times begins publishing excerpts from the Pentagon Papers, which divulge, among other things, that the government knew for years that the Vietnam War was unwinnable but kept sending troops overseas anyway. Go see this movie, and take your families…you may have to explain to some of the timing, and other issues, but it will be worth it. And, I want to thank 20th Century Fox and EPK for making this interview available to listeners of The Not Old Better Show.

Donald Graham on his mother, Katharine Graham ~ ". . . my mother was one of the highest ranking women in American business. To say that she was unsure of herself is a gross understatement, she went through life telling people she was not up to the job, she was scared, and all the while she was doing just an incredible job." Donald Graham, Former Publisher and Chairman The Washington Post (right) and Andy Ockershausen, Our Town host (left) A Ockershausen: Our guest today has been described by his colleagues as an incredibly nice person. Always willing to give advice, especially to young business people, I'm included in that. An amazing human being, a lovely lovely man. The Dudley Do-Right of the newspaper business. The rare mogul who puts principles and people ahead of profits. I've personally known Donald Graham for almost 50 years, throughout my career at WMAL, WMAL TV Channel 7, The Washington Star Group, which don't exist anymore, but WMAL Radio's still here thank God. I knew Donald when he was in school and when he was in the military and when he got out and his work with the city, but Donald, I'm so so so happy that you would agree to this discussion because you are a very big important part of Our Town. Donald Graham: I'm very happy to be with you Andy, this is fun to talk about DC with somebody who's been part of it as long as you and I have. A Ockershausen: Correct. Donald Graham: This is great. A Ockershausen: Which was the genesis for everything that we're doing with Our Town. Donald Graham: It's a great idea. A Ockershausen: You know, Our Town includes the suburbs, you know, we just don't limit it to downtown DC, but it's all Our Town and the fact is The Post was so important to everything that happened to Our Town over the last 75-80 years, it's been just great. Donald Graham: The media were, the newspapers were, you ran the radio station you ran, you know most people that were in the radio business somewhere else, don't imagine there could have been a radio station as big as WMAL was in its day, but you know ... A Ockershausen: People couldn't understand it. Donald Graham: Yeah, you ran a ... A Ockershausen: But, we were all about Our Town. That's why we were successful. Donald Graham: Yeah, you were, you had the most popular people and The Post. A Ockershausen: The Post was Our Town and always was, I remember reading about when your grandfather bought the paper, it was pretty much on the rocks compared to the other papers. Donald Graham's Grandfather, Eugene Meyer, Buys The Washington Post Donald Graham: So, my grandfather Eugene Meyer, bought the Washington Post at a bankruptcy sale in June of 1933, so why was it bankrupt? Well, there were five papers in town. The Post was the fourth in circulation out of five. Star was the biggest, then there were The Times, The Herald, and The News. The post claimed a circulation of 50,000. In her book. My mother wrote that she was skeptical that they had 50,000 circulation, but that's what they claimed. It had this run down rattle-trap building on 1337 E Street, right where the JW Marriott Hotel is on Pennsylvania Avenue now. A Ockershausen: Know it quite well, Basses Delicatessen or something was right there. Donald Graham: Yeah, but they had no money, they were losing money every year. I knew a guy who consulted for Mr. Meyer back in the 30's and said that Mr. Meyer told this consultant that he hoped the business would break even in three years. He would improve the paper, that would increase the circulation, maybe the advertising, it took him 21 years. He paid the losses out of his own pocket and he didn't own any other business. He was a hell of a guy. He bought The Post, he was 57 years old. He had never run a business and he had never worked on a newspaper, but he made a lot of money on Wall Street when it was tough to make money on Wall Street and then had come to work for the ... He was French, so when World War I broke out,

The Rockefeller World, Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission by Andrew Gavin Marshall It is quite apparent in the history of America from the late 19th century and into the 20th century, that the Rockefeller family has wielded massive influence in shaping the socio-political economic landscape of society. However, up until the first half of the 20th century came to a close, there were several other large dominant families with whom the Rockefellers shared power and purpose, notably among them, the Morgans. As the century progressed, their interests aligned further still, and following World War II, the Rockefellers became the dominant group in America, and arguably, the world. Of course, there was the well-established business links between the major families emerging out of the American Industrial Revolution going into the 20th century, followed with the establishment of the major foundations designed to engage in social engineering. It was with the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) that the changing dynamics of the Morgan-Rockefeller clan became most apparent. As discussed earlier in this book, the Council on Foreign Relations is the ultimate networking and socializing institution among the American elite. The influence of the CFR is unparalleled among other think tanks. One study revealed that between 1945 and 1972, roughly 45% of the top foreign policy officials who served in the United States government were also members of the Council, leading one prominent member to once state that membership in the Council is essentially a “rite of passage” for being a member of the foreign policy establishment. One Council member, Theodore White, explained that the Council’s “roster of members has for a generation, under Republican and Democratic administrations alike, been the chief recruiting ground for Cabinet-level officials in Washington.”[1] The CIA, as previously examined, is also no stranger to this network, since more often than not in the first several decades of the existence of the Agency, its leaders were drawn from Council membership, such as Allen Dulles, John A. McCone, Richard Helms, William Colby, and George H.W. Bush. As some researchers have examined: The influential but private Council, composed of several hundred of the country’s top political, military, business, and academic leaders has long been the CIA’s principal “constituency” in the American public. When the agency has needed prominent citizens to front for its proprietary (cover) companies or for other special assistance, it has often turned to Council members.[2] Roughly 42% of the top foreign policy positions in the Truman administration were filled by Council members, with 40% in the Eisenhower administration, 51% of the Kennedy administration, and 57% of the Johnson administration, many of whom were holdovers from the Kennedy administration.[3] The Council has had and continues to have enormous influence in the mainstream media, through which it is able to propagate its ideology, advance its agendas, and conceal its influence. In 1972, three out of ten directors and five out of nine executives of the New York Times were Council members. In the same year, one out of four editorial executives and four of nine directors of the Washington Post were also Council members, including its President, Katharine Graham, as well as the Vice-President Osborn Elliott, who was also editor-in-chief of Newsweek. Of both Time Magazine and Newsweek, almost half of their directors in 1972 were also Council members.[4] The Council also has extensive ties to the other major American think tanks, most especially the Brookings Institution, as well as the RAND Corporation, the Hudson Institute, the Foreign Policy Association, and of course, the special-purpose foundations such as the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, of which fifteen of its twenty-one trustees (as of 1971) were also Council members, and its president from 1950 to 1971, Joseph E. Johnson, was also a director of the Council during the same time period.[5] The Council and the major philanthropic foundations have had extensive ties not only to each other, but in working together in constructing research and programs of study in foreign affairs. The State Department undertook a study of 191 university-connected centers for foreign affairs research, which revealed that the largest sources of funding came from the Ford Foundation (which funded 107 of the 191 centers), the federal government (which funded 67 centers), the Rockefeller Foundation (18 centers), and the Carnegie Corporation (17 centers), and that, “for eleven of the top twelve universities with institutes of international studies, Ford is the principal source of funding.”[6] These foundations, aside from being major sources of funding for the Council throughout the years from its origins, also share extensive leadership ties with the Council. At the top of the list is the Rockefeller Foundation, which in 1971 had fourteen out of nineteen of its directors also being members of the Council; the Carnegie Corporation followed with ten out of seventeen; then came the Ford Foundation with seven out of sixteen; and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund with six out of eleven board members also being members of the Council. It should also be noted that the Carnegie network extended beyond the Carnegie Corporation, and also included the Carnegie Endowment, the Carnegie Institute of Washington, and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. From its founding until 1972, one-fourth of all the Council’s directors had served as trustees or directors of at least one of the several Carnegie foundations. John J. McCloy had served as chairman of both the Council and the Ford Foundation at the same time, from the 1950s until the late 60s.[7]
