As far as American Icons go it probably doesn't get much bigger and recognizable than Henry Ford and Ford Motors. Not the inventor of the automobile, that credit goes to Carl Benz (go back and listen to that episode) but Henry developed what would become the modern automotive industry as we know it. Assembly lines were a thing, just not with cars until Henry decided to use them to mass produce the Model T. His first mass produced car took the nation by storm and at one point 1/2 of all individuals who learned how to drive did so on a Model T. Where Henry excelled at making affordable reliable vehicles he fell short on personal skills, treatment of his workers, and being a father. He even almost caused the downfall of his company by not being able to tear himself away from his precious Model T and modernize with companies like General Motors who came along and challenged Ford for the top spot and for a while took the crown. Through the "Pony Wars" where each manufacturer took turns one upping each other on Horsepower, to the battle to make the most economical car when the gas shortages hit. The story of Ford is fascinating to say the very least.Side note: Prof Chris was battling through a sinus infection which is why he sounds so sexy. Support the show

Today, Rev. Wendy shares about transformation often coming through unexpected people and circumstances. The story illustrates how individuals—whether truthful or not—can play a crucial role in pushing us forward. From a fabricated encounter with Lee Iacocca that led to business success to a friend's embellished credentials that gave the speaker the confidence to start The Unity Center, the message is clear: God uses both remarkable and unconventional people to guide us. Even when faced with hardship, deception, or self-doubt, these experiences shape us, proving that faith, perseverance, and the right encouragement—no matter the source—can lead to profound growth and change.~ Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net ~ Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setup~ Ask Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336X~ Subscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F ~ Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packages~ Listen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

Minivans: Revolutionizing Family Transportation Nov 2This month, we're trying something new for No Driving Gloves. It's part of National Podcasting Month or NAPODPOMO. The challenge is to create a daily podcast episode for 30 days. We'll still release our regular episodes every Tuesday, along with daily episodes about Today in Automotive History.Give us your feedback and let us know what you think. Depending on your response, we may create a separate feed or include it in our main one. Visit nodrivinggloves.com to share your thoughts.Minivans, never have received wide spread respect and are often dismissed as uncool. Yet, their boxy proportions make them adept at ferrying people and luggage with ease. They outperform most passenger cars and even the "cooler" sport utility vehicle. Chrysler's introduction of the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager in 1983 revolutionized the market, quickly overshadowing the iconic station wagon.The minivan was a blend of station wagon and conventional van, small enough to fit into most garages. Its affordability made it a staple for many families. Chrysler sold over 209,000 in its first year alone, peaking at 600,000 in the late 1990s.Despite its homely pedigree, the Chrysler minivan transformed the American automotive landscape. It took what today might be considered corporate espionage, defected Ford executives Hal Spurlock and Lee Iacocca to bring it to life at Chrysler. With a range of small front-wheel drive platforms at their disposal, they accelerated the plan using a variation of unibody construction found in other K-Car.The minivan revolution dubbed the "Magic Wagon," combined comfort, versatility, and practicality. Its front-engine and front-wheel-drive design created a flat floor interior with easy access through sliding doors and foldable seats. The Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager debuted in 1983 as convenient alternatives to bulky full-size vans.Innovations continued throughout the years, with flexible seating options, towing packages, and even seating that would fold flat into a bed with a tent that attached to the side door. allowed the T-115 (Chrysler's internal code for the Caravan/Voyager twins) allowed them to cater to various needs. The humble minivan played a significant role in restoring Chrysler to profitability while etching itself into the memories of countless families.Millions of minivans, like a symphony of metal and rubber, find their way into the eager hands of consumers.Don't forget to check out Episode 265 to hear my feelings on Minivans.www.nodrivinggloves.com#cars #car #collectorcars oldcars #cartalk #electriccars #ev #hotrod #carhistory #automotivehistory #automobile #thisdayinautomotivehistory #thisdayinhistory #classiccars #napodpomo #minivans #minivan

A number of things come to mind when thinking about some of the pieces of redundancy one tends to encounter when hosting a podcast. Some of it is -- of course -- necessary. Some you hope to avoid. Still some are just plain unavoidable, such as gushing with gratitude and thanks for those that decide to join me for an episode.It's no lie or exaggeration when I say that every episode is special, and that every guest is a treat. Patrick Sprehe for Episode #77 (Paul Coffey!) was no different.Patrick is the face and the effort behind Center Cut Records, a local label here in Kansas City whose "mission is to illuminate the amazing collection of musical talent in Kansas City and solidify its place in the national discussion about sonic art."It's a great aim and a fantastic focus, and I wish them all of the success they ever imagined possible and more. It goes without saying then that I was honored that Patrick was giving of his time and energy, and he joined me to talk about some of the amazing folks working in the KC music scene.We also talked a little bit about Patrick's journey in life, and it wouldn't be an episode of Badass Records if we didn't also have a peek into some of his favorite albums over the years.They were these:João Gilberto & Stan Getz's Getz/Gilberto (1964)One (1974), Bob JamesThe Cars, self-titled (1978)Wild Planet (1980), The B-52sPublic Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (1988)Talking Kansas City and music and some of our city's fine, fine people was nothing shy of a blast. I'm grateful for the opportunity and thankful for the learning experience Patrick was able to provide.Please check out Center Cut Records on Instagram, and consider exploring some of the artists that they have worked with (as well as those they haven't).copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to either the promo or the intro/outro audio. They are all clips from a track called, "Fine Corinthian Leather" by Charlie Hunter. The tune comes from his 2008 record, Baboon Strength (c/o SideHustle). I landed on this tune by accident around the time I was doing post-production for Patrick's episode, and, I gotta tell ya' -- the Chrysler/Ricardo Montalbán/David Letterman details about the term's origin story is something else. Makes the already-great Lee Iacocca bit from Saturday Night Live even greater. And it makes me grateful that this song was written, recorded, and released in my lifetime.

In an effort to bring episodes back more often with my currently demanding personal schedule, I've decided to experiment with mini installments of Hi-Performance Heritage. Hopefully this will allow me to provide you guys with content more often, and what better way to kick off this new format than with the mini Mopars of the 1980's?! This episode is Part 1 of a limited series on The Shelby Dodge Era, and is a brief introduction to Lee Iacocca and Carroll Shelby. The reunion of these two automotive legends is what sparked Chrysler's movement into The Shelby Dodge Era of Mopar history. Enjoy!

Without a doubt, another great discussion with another value adding guest!!  Our new good friend Phil Berredo, LSIT joined DD and the incomparable Peta Cox for a good old fashioned chat about the industry, challenges and future opportunities. Not only does Phil love being a surveyor, but he also has a "Championship Ring" and a degree from the University of Florida...GO GATORS! DD proved to the world (not by choice) that he can pull off an episode without Producer Suga Sean being in the studio. Needless to say it was lonely! Mozart and Lee Iacocca were quoted. Music by the Strokes.

"This is the day that all Irish Americans share their common heritage. It is also a day when just about everyone gets a little Irish feeling. One of the great things in my life has been the opportunity to see the Irish of this country use the power of the ballot box to pull themselves up, to join the front ranks of every profession and every walk of life." That's what House Speaker Tip O'Neill told a St. Patrick's Day dinner in his honor - on March 17, 1986. For St. Patrick's Day this year, the C-SPAN podcast "The Weekly" returns to the Washington Hilton for that salute to Tip O'Neill. The dinner attracted a "who's who" of 1986 Washington: Chief Justice Warren Burger, Senator Bob Dole, Senator Robert Byrd, former Vice President Walter Mondale, House Republican leader Bob Michel ... former House Speaker Carl Albert, whom Tip O'Neill succeeded in 1977... Plus, businessmen Lee Iacocca and Dwayne Andreas, who spoke... Other speakers: Senator Ted Kennedy, comedian Bob Hope, and two presidents. It was nearly 40 years ago, but it remains one of the most legendary St. Patrick's Day political events C-SPAN has covered. As Bob Hope might say, thanks next C-SPAN podcast, "The Weekly," for the memory. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

So today, let's talk about cars, Chrysler, Reagan and…a looming recession. 40 years ago this week, President Reagan addressed the Chrysler plant in beautiful downtown Fenton, Missouri to stoke the fires of recovery and encourage the employees to stay the course. Recall that President-elect Ronald Reagan endorsed the government bailout of Chrysler during the campaign, reversing his initial position, but really never changed his fundamental belief that automakers should stand on their own without government backing. Let's listen to the President in February 1983 when the economy was just starting to turn around. His hosts were Lee Iacocca, Senator Danforth and Governor Kit Bond.

When you think about having the real estate business and life outside your business you've always wanted what comes to mind? For most of us, there is a moment of dreaming big followed at some point by a thought like, “I'll never be able to have that.” Or, something along the lines of “Sounds great, but I have no idea how to make that happen.” Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we think we can't have what we want, or that what we want is somehow an impossibility for us? That what we want and our ability to actually have it are not equal? Life is too short not to have it be exactly the way we want it to be.  Like, why can't you be a successful real estate agent and have a great life too?   Make good money and have some free time to enjoy it…that doesn't seem like an impossible dream to me. It's not asking for too much out of life, yet so many agents I talk to think a life like this is not in the cards for them.   Once you realize what you reallllllly want in life and how you've been holding yourself back, it can bring up a lot of emotions–sadness, anger, frustration, and after all that comes hope and then finally the thing that matters most–action.   In today's workshop-style episode of Confessions of A Top Producing Real Estate Agent, I'm walking you through a 7-step process so you can make whatever you want happen.   And, because as Lee Iacocca said, “The disciple of writing something down is the first step to making it happen,” I'm also giving you a free workbook for you to use as I walk you through the 7 Steps to Get Anything You Want.   Get The 7 Steps To Having Anything You Want Workbook Here Having anything you want is not a catch phrase and it's not too good to be true.  It's something each one of us is capable of, but only if we remove what's in the way.  This 7 step process will help you do that. Let this be the year you say I will _________________________ and then truly go for it like it's going to happen.   Don't just wait and see what happens, decide and then commit to make it happen.   ​​Not in a stressful way, but in a “I'm worthy and capable” kind of way.   Because you are.

Authority can be given to a person. Leadership cannot.People with authority often have no followers.People with followers often have no authority.Leaders require no authority. They say, ‘This is what I've decided to do.' And then they do it. Others see them doing it and decide to follow.On Tuesday I was on the phone to my friend Manley Miller in New Orleans when he said,“No one wants to be a leader anymore. Everyone wants to be a commentator. You want to know how to identify a leader? Just took for the person who's making the decisions.”The notorious billionaire oil man and corporate raider, T. Boone Pickens passed along this advice at the end of his life,“Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader: Avoid the ‘Ready-aim-aim-aim-aim' syndrome. You have to be willing to fire. Learn from mistakes. That's not just a cliché. I sure made my share. Remember the doors that smashed your fingers the first time and be more careful the next trip through. Be humble. I always believed the higher a monkey climbs in the tree, the more people below can see his ass. You don't have to be that monkey.”In his book, “Where Have all the Leaders Gone?” Lee Iacocca, that innovative leader who breathed new life into one of America's most important corporations said,“The most innovative research is often killed during the peer review process. Why? Well, let me put it to you simply: Imagine if every time Chrysler wanted to bring a new car to market, it had to depend on positive reviews from GM and Ford. Are you starting to get the picture?”During his rant at a Wizard of Ads partner meeting a few years ago, the dazzling Mick Torbay said,“You need to understand something: the committee is not evil. The committee doesn't want you to fail. The committee has nothing but good intentions. But the committee can't innovate. More than anything, the committee wants to look good to the rest of the committee… So don't be surprised that when you present a really, really great idea to a committee, the only thing you're gonna get is a reason why that idea won't work; one reason for every member of the committee. The committee will always pull you to the center. The committee will help you avoid risk, but risk and reward are two sides of the same coin. If you avoid risk, then huge success is out of the question. Are you okay with that?”As we approach the beginning of a brand-new year, let's go back to what I said in the beginning:Authority can be given to a person. Leadership cannot.People with authority often have no followers.People with followers often have no authority.Leaders require no authority. They say, ‘This is what I've decided to do.'And then they do it. Others see them doing it and decide to follow.What have you decided to do?You doing that, in 2023, is what I want to see.You've talked about it long enough.You've thought about it long enough.It's time to get started.Roy H. WilliamsONE LAST THOUGHT FROM MICK TORBAY: “Your comfort zone is actually a prison cell. It's the reason you're not growing the way you should. The good news? Every business owner, including your competitor, has a comfort zone and most never dare to leave it. But you will. You dare. And that's how we'll win.”Ted Clark started out as a shipping clerk, then climbed the heights of the wealth ladder. He now advises people on how to leverage their way into society's upper crust. The secret? OPM. (Other People's Money) How to get it. How to use it. MondayMorningRadio.com

In the face of stubbornly high inflation, Lee Iacocca launches a new product he hopes will transform the fortunes of the Chrysler Corporation. But when the launch doesn't go according to plan, Lee is forced to consider an alliance with an old enemy.To listen to Business Movers ad-free, join Wondery+ in the Wondery App. Click here to download the app: https://wondery.app.link/businessmoversSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the wake of the 1979 Oil Shock, Lee Iacocca goes to Washington to fight for a rescue package to keep his company alive. But getting the politicians to agree is only half the battle. To save Chrysler, Lee will also have to convince two very different constituencies: the unions and the banks.To listen to Business Movers ad-free, join Wondery+ in the Wondery App. Click here to download the app: https://wondery.app.link/businessmoversSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lee Iacocca takes charge at Chrysler and finds a company on the brink of collapse.

Eighty-eight percent of the Fortune 500 companies that existed in 1955 are gone. Poof.Half of them withered because they had a manager in the role of CEO when they desperately needed a leader. The other half were destroyed by a leader when a manager could have held the company together and grown it incrementally. The most important role of a board of directors is to know when their company needs a leader and when it needs a manager. Managers prefer incremental change, evolution. Leaders prefer exponential change, revolution. Managers guard the status quo. “If it ain't broke, don't fix it.” Leaders invent new ways of thinking. “If it ain't broke, break it, so we can create something new.” Managers prefer a map and a path. Leaders prefer unexplored territory. Managers say, “Ready, Aim, Fire.” Leaders say “Ready, Fire, Aim.” But this isn't as crazy as it sounds. When shooting a cannon, this is called finding your range. Managers focus on planning and execution. Leaders focus on improvisation and innovation. Managers make organizational charts. Leaders make messes. Managers are given authority over others. Leaders are voluntarily followed by others. Kodak, Blockbuster, MySpace, General Motors, and General Electric were overwhelmingly dominant in their categories until their Manager-CEO's fell asleep while guarding the status quo. Do not think the internet killed K-Mart, Montgomery Wards, Sears, J.C. Penney, or Bed Bath & Beyond. Walmart sells all those same products and they're still doing fine because they saw the marketplace rapidly changing in August, 2016 and responded by putting visionary leader Marc Lore in charge of Walmart's US e-commerce operations. Amazon did $398.8 billion in 2021.Walmart did $488 billion.Managers mistakenly think they can lead. Leaders mistakenly think they can manage. I know only two men who can perform both functions. Dewey Jenkins is one of them. If I written those words during the 10 years Dewey and I worked together, it would have sounded like flattery. But now that he is retired and I have stepped away, I am free to speak the truth. Good mothers can also perform both functions. Every good mother is a miraculous manager and a visionary leader. I was raised by an extremely good mother and my sons were raised by another. Good managers know what to “protect at all costs.” They know what not to change. Bad managers look only for compliance and conformity, blind to the special abilities that hide within their employees. But good managers see those special abilities and call them to the surface where they can sparkle. A good manager encourages your special ability and uses it to maximum effect, while partnering you with someone who sparkles in the area where you are weak. When you see a legendary duo, you can be sure that a brilliant manager put them together. The genius of visionary leaders is that they charge full speed ahead when they see opportunity on the horizon. When they see a storm coming, they steer around it. Visionary leaders recognize what is no longer working and do hesitate to change it. Bang. Gone. If you want to listen to the inner thoughts of visionary leaders and understand how their minds work, there are only two books you need to read.

Your Stupid Minds releases a bonus second episode in two weeks to make up for being a week late last week. In any case, now we're caught up. This time around we review a movie that was basically lost until 2013 when it turned up in a batch of 1,000 pornographic 35mm prints donated to the American Genre Film Archive. It's 1976's (or 1975, depending on who you ask) The Astrologer! Alexander (played by writer, director, and producer Craig Denney) is a con man at a carnival who goes to Kenya to steal some diamonds with an oil baron and his wife. He gets captured and imprisoned (possibly more than once, it isn't clear), gets out and steals some cursed diamonds. Eventually he's able to sell them in Tahiti and heads back to Southern California to find his fortune the traditional way: by starting an entertainment empire of a hit movie and six hit television shows all about astrology. Everything starts to unravel eventually and it ends with a quote from King Lear. Also starring Denney's cousin Darrien Earle (named Darrien in the movie), who was also Lee Iacocca's third wife.

This episode originally aired Nov. 30, 2021. "William Novak had the career I hadn't even known I wanted," host Daniel Paisner says of this episode's guest, who for a time seemed to have his have his hand in every major celebrity autobiography on bookstore shelves. Starting with the publication of the genre-defining best-seller Iacocca, by Lee Iacocca—the best-selling book of 1984 and 1985—Novak embarked on a string of collaborations on some of the biggest books of the next decade, including Earvin "Magic" Johnson's My Life, Nancy Reagan's My Turn, Lt. Colonel Oliver North's Under Fire, and Tip O'Neill's Man of the House. In fact, Novak was so busy during this period that he actually turned down the opportunity to work with both Ronald Reagan and Nelson Mandela—an astonishing turn for a writer who candidly admits he was a little out of his element when he got the Iacocca assignment, as he struggled to realize that his job was not to write about Iacocca, as a journalist might, but to help the former Chrysler chairman "write the book about himself, based on how he sees himself."  Join us on this episode of As Told To: The Ghostwriting Podcast as we visit with the writer who helped to bring the work of the ghostwriter out of the shadows and into the light.  Please support the sponsors who support our show.

The Statue of Liberty was designed by sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel, as a gift to the United States from France. She arrived in 1885 on our shores in pieces after floating across the Atlantic in 214 crates. All the pieces were assembled on Liberty Island the following year. But by 1984, after welcoming immigrants to New York for almost 100 years, she was in bad shape. In this podcast, we'll learn about how President Reagan in May 1982, 40 years ago, took action to return Lady Liberty to pristine condition. He called upon Lee Iacocca to create the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation to raise the funds necessary for the restoration, and by the 4th of July 1986, she was ready for her debut. In the second half of this podcast, we'll focus on the final result.
