O maçom que se tornou milionário ao inventar a lâmina descartável e que queria propagar seus ideais socialistas utópicos No final do século 19, a maioria dos homens apresentava cortes e vermelhidão na pele do rosto porque se barbeava com lâmina de barbear. Apesar do fato de que vários protótipos de navalhas já haviam sido inventados, o ex- mascate King Camp Gillette mudou a aparência física viril para sempre com a invenção de navalhas descartáveis. Em 1901 ele fundou a American Safety Razor Company para comercializar esta invenção que consistia em uma alça e uma estrutura aprimorada para melhor segurar as finas lâminas de aço que, após vários barbeados, eram jogadas fora. Desta forma, as lâminas forjadas, muitas vezes cegas, foram substituídas. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/malhete-podcast/message

Our guest today is the founder of Leaf Shave, a company that is changing the way people get a great shave at the best value. Crazy birds, without any further ado, I would like to welcome Adam Simone. Episode Highlights[01:18] How did your sustainable journey start? [02:50] There is an amazing organisation called Leah Lizarondo (https://www.linkedin.com/in/leahlizarondo/)  and she has built a network backed by technology and the goodness of people that has rescued more than 4 million pounds of food, and they do this by cutting off perfectly good food that would end up uneaten and in landfill and connecting them with people in need of food. [03:22] We won’t stop until we have replaced every disposable plastic consuming razor on earth with a Leaf razor. [04:51] The history of shaving is quite interesting it dates back thousands of years to when early humans were using tools and shells and even things like sharp teeth to remove hair from their head and face. It is not a new invention. [05:11] Double edge razors which are what many today would kind of consider classic shaving tools that perhaps your grandfather used or maybe you have dabbled with in your sustainability journey. Those were invested and patterned more than a hundred years ago by and some people don’t know this but by King Camp Gillette. [06:34] What modern razors brought to the table over safety razors is a comfortable easy shave with multiple blades and a pivoting head. What we lost was the quality and the durability of materials. [11:56] We want that who when someone holds it, because it is a high-quality tool and something that I think people should be happy to own. because it is quality and it will last. [12:13] It has a lifetime warranty. If you have any issue ever drop us a note. [12:20] To keep our customers happy, we are learning a lot. We are still very young we have only been commercially available for about six- month ones as of the recording here, but we are in our next production of razors right now and we continue to learn and improve and listen to our customers. [13:14] We have got three more finishes coming in our next production run. [13:50] Maybe like four years ago I bought a pack of hundred of them for $11 and I am still using that pack. They will last a long time. [14:02] From a storage perspective a footprint of a hundred pack fits in the same space size a four standard cartridge from Bic shave or any of those shave clubs. [15:51] What can we do with our blunt blades? [18:46] We decided to go to Kickstarter and in 30-days we raised a $110,000 on our Kickstarter campaign. [20:25] If you are on the fence of trying us, give it a go. If we are not your jam, if it is not working for you, we will take it back within 30 days. [21:03] What has been one of your most important decisions that you have made around mama earth? Final Five1.What is one social media platform that you follow? (https://www.instagram.com/trashisfortossers/?hl=en) (https://l.instagram.com/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpackagefreeshop.com%2F&e=ATM7EAXChZg_MfVNPs8U0so_LyfGlErvWWqljExmpWSJr5UH3jgJ0t2gTqAgMpHH8w8ZPQMcVAzBAbOl) 2.What is your hope for mama earth going forward? I hope that more folks learn about the small decisions that they can make to do personally to impact their footprint on Mama Earth and you know I am very happy that I am making the choices that I am making and honestly I also hope that there are a couple of people listening out there that are entrepreneurs at heart that hear my story and are encouraged to make that idea that they have for a more sustainable solution or product or service to make that a reality because it is as simple as starting.  3.What advise can you give our crazy birds this week to help out mama earth?  Think about the small choice that you can make but also think about how you can leverage a talent or an...

50 Things That Made the Modern Economy

King Camp Gillette came up with an idea which has helped shape the modern economy. He invented the disposable razor blade. But, perhaps more significantly, he invented the two-part pricing model which works by imposing what economists call “switching costs”. If you’ve ever bought replacement cartridges for an inkjet printer you experienced both when you discovered that they cost almost as much as the printer itself. It’s also known as the “razor and blades” model because that’s where it first drew attention, thanks to King Camp Gillette. Attract people with a cheap razor, then repeatedly charge them for expensive replacement blades. As Tim Harford explains, it’s an idea which has been remarkably influential.

Episode 40 Don Gorske Big Mac GuyHello and welcome to Episode 40 of Jay Wont darts podcast. My intro was from King Of the Hill.This episode is about Don Gorske, I'll start by reading from Wikipedia.From Wikipedia"Don Gorske of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin is an American "Big Mac enthusiast" who has eaten over 23,000 Big Mac hamburgers in his lifetime,[1] winning a place in the 2006 Guinness Book of Records in the process. He claims the Big Mac constitutes 90% of his total solid food intake. He is featured in the documentaries Super Size Me (2004) and Don Gorske: Mac Daddy (2005). He is the author of 22,477 Big Macs (2008).HistoryGorske claims that after getting his first car, the first place he went was to McDonald's on May 17, 1972[1] he purchased and ate three Big Macs at lunch time. He then returned two more times that day to consume a total of nine Big Macs the same day he discovered the sandwich. He further claims to have eaten 265 Big Macs in the following month, an average of 8.5 Big Macs per day. If true, this would be equivalent to over 4,600 calories and 247 grams of fat daily, for a total of 143,100 calories and 16.9 pounds of fat in one month. He also claims to drink almost nothing but Coca-Cola and, according to Super Size Me, he rarely eats the fries. At first, Don kept all the boxes of Big Macs he ate in the back of his car.In 2003, Don Gorske ate 741 Big Macs, an average of 2.03 Big Macs per day. On August 17, 2008, Gorske ate his 23,000th Big Mac at his favorite McDonald's restaurant in Fond du Lac.[1] He claims that since he ate his first Big Mac, there have only been eight different days in which he did not eat a single Big Mac. One of these days was the day his mother died, and he did not eat a Big Mac to respect her request.[1] Other days included a "Snow Day" when McDonalds was unable to open due to snow, a Thanksgiving, days he was traveling and could not find a McDonalds, and various days Gorske had to stay at work past midnight. Gorske has since started keeping an "emergency stash" of Big Macs in his freezer for emergencies and snow days.[4] Don Gorske also records when and where he eats his Big Macs in a notebook that he carries with him all of the time. Gorske has kept every burger receipt in a box.[1]"Now, I want to mention a major reason why I chose to do an episode about Don Gorske. The guy eats all that fastfood, he says it makes up 90% of his food intake, so he basically eats just 2 burgers a day, along with liquids. The guy looks damn thin, he looks quite a lot like a hippie, if you imagine a hippie with "John Lennon" style round glasses, and brown hair in a bowlcut style, although he has a ponytail at the back. I'm mentioning Don because hes evidence that fast food is a sure cause of obesity, I really dont like hearing people who complain that big companies have forced everyone worldwide to become fat and lazy. I think what people eat is their own responsibility, although I have read books such as Fast Food Nation, and have watched Super Size Me, I'll play clips from that movie later. I do see a definite link between eating fatty foods and becoming fat yourself, but I really dont think its fair to blame mcdonalds when you choose to eat there 3 times a day. Don Gorske is a very quirky case, and I'd love him to go Vegan, but he sure isnt unhealthly from what I can tell, or from his health statistics that he tells people. I mention this because large animal welfare groups like PETA advertise going vegetarian as a way to lose weight, they often use the fact that vegetarians and vegans generally are slim, as if the only way you can be NOT FAT is if you dont eat animal products, apparently they have never seen Don Gorske. I left this part out of the Wikipedia article, because I wanted you to think he weighed a metric ton."Gorske is 6 foot 2 inches tall, 185 pounds, and claims a cholesterol level of 140." Im interrupting here, for every other country in the world, hes about 1.8 metres tall and weighs 83kg's. That makes his Body Mass Index, BMI, about 23.8, almost 24. A BMI is not amazingly accurate, very muscular people can be reported as being obese, for example, but its the best way to somewhat compare weights of people, to roughly group them as underweight for their height, average for their height, or overweight for their height. Reading from the site I used to calculate Dons BMI, • Underweight =
