Podcasts about Lew

Before the fire, before the blood, before the bombs, the boots, the makeup, and the myth… there was a struggling New York band trying to find its way. This week, we go Before the Thunder with Lew Linet — the man who witnessed Wicked Lester evolve into KISS. He saw Gene Klein become Gene Simmons, Stanley Eisen become Paul Stanley, Peter Crisscuola become Peter Criss, and Paul Frehley become Ace. From the shelved Epic Records album to the early club grind at The Daisy, Lew was there before the world understood what was coming. This is the story of rejection, reinvention, and persistence — told by someone who saw the lightning strike before the thunder rolled. He later built a career in the automotive industry, carrying those early lessons in perseverance into the training work he still shares today.

When Lew Frankfort joined Coach half a century ago, it was a small NYC handbag maker without a single storefront. Frankfort reveals how he scaled the brand into a global icon worth more than 20 billion dollars with a signature blend of “magic and logic”. Lew's memoir is Bag Man.

Hey the boys are on vacation today so here's an episode of their other podcast called Hogwash they do with their friend Lew. You should go Subscribe to Hogwash after you listen to this and LAUGH AND LAUGH AND LAUGH! 

Lew Frankfort joined Coach in 1979 when it was a $6 million leather goods company with a factory, a handful of offices, and a cult following. Over the next three decades, he led its transformation into a $5 billion global brand, coining the term accessible luxury along the way and building one of the most consumer-centric businesses in the history of fashion.    In conversation with Anant Sharma, Lew traces the full arc of that journey, from opening the first Coach store on Madison Avenue to taking the brand public, breaking into Japan ahead of every European luxury house, and what it actually means to keep a brand emotionally relevant across generations. A conversation about long-termism, consumer insight, and what it takes to build something that truly lasts.

Lew Wolff didn't set out to become a successful developer or a professional sports team owner. He didn't grow up around business, and by his own account, he stumbled into real estate almost by accident. But over the course of a decades-long career, he would go on to reshape downtown San Jose, partner with 20th Century Fox, and take ownership stakes in teams like the Oakland Athletics and Golden State Warriors.In this episode of Big Shot, Lew sits down with Harley and David to reflect on the unconventional path that led him there. He shares how the sudden death of his father forced him to grow up quickly, how a chance decision in college set him on a career in real estate, and how one unexpected opportunity led to a role at Fox and a headline that would change everything overnight.Along the way, Lew explains why he built his career around partnerships, how he thinks about choosing the right people to work with, and why he has always prioritized relationships over short-term profit. He also reflects on his time in professional sports, including the story behind Moneyball, the challenges of public scrutiny, and the behind-the-scenes dynamics that shaped the future of the A's.—In This Episode We Cover:(00:00) Intro(02:25) Lew's early years growing up in the Midwest(05:54) How his father's death changed his path(10:28) Growing up Jewish in St. Louis(11:43) His first job and move to Los Angeles(14:34) Starting his own firm and selling to Booz Allen(17:18) His work with 20th Century Fox(24:39) Balancing the San Jose development with his work at Fox(27:20) How his studio office helped attract clients(29:21) How Bud Selig led him to buy a stake in the Oakland A's(38:18) Lew's philosophy on partnerships and how to choose them (42:54) Buying and selling his stake in the Golden State Warriors(45:46) The kind of work he enjoys and what he credits for his success(50:42) The story behind Moneyball(54:19) Why he stays focused on the future(55:20) Why he prioritizes relationships over profit(58:57) How he handled negative press as owner of the A's(1:03:48) How the Giants blocked the A's from building a new stadium(1:08:59) How he learned to let things go(1:12:51) Lew and Bud's attempt to integrate their fraternity(1:15:07) His thoughts on Jewish entrepreneurship(1:18:38) What he's most proud of—Where To Find Lew Wolff:• Website: https://www.wolffurban.com/ Where To Find Big Shot: • Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bigshot.show/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@bigshotpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  • TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@bigshotshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/bigshotshow/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  • Harley Finkelstein: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/harleyf⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • David Segal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/tea_maverick⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• Production and Marketing: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://penname.co⁠

While the Bengals did not address linebacker this offseason, they filled most other needs through trades, free agency and the NFL Draft. After trading for defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and signing free agent defensive end Boye Mafe and free agent defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, they selected defensive end Cashius Howell in the second round and added Navy defensive tackle Landon Robinson in the seventh round. They drafted 6-foot-4 cornerback Tacario Davis in the third round to add depth at outside cornerback, potentially allowing Dax Hill to shift back inside while providing some future insurance if the team can't extend Hill or cornerback DJ Turner. They desperately needed to add offensive line depth and did so by taking center Connor Lew in the fourth round, who dropped to that round only because he is coming off knee surgery, although he is expected to be cleared well in advance of the start of training camp. Then in the sixth round the Bengals selected St. Xavier High School grad Brian Parker II, who can potentially play all five offensive line positions. They were hoping to add a wide receiver in the draft who could compete with Andrei Iosivas for snaps at No. 3 wide receiver and took 6-foot-5, 218-pound Colbie Young with a second fourth-round pick they added when they dealt the No. 110 overall pick and No. 199 overall pick to the New York Jets for the No. 128 pick (Lew) and No. 140 pick, which they used on Young. Young's traits are more impressive than his college production, but he has a high ceiling. That seemed to be the case with almost each of their seven draft picks. "They all have a lot of upside," said Bengals head coach Zac Taylor. "That's the cleanest way I can say it. They are all really talented players. We brought them in here because we see a high upside with all those guys. Excited about the whole group." That includes tight end Jack Endries, who was taken with the first of two seventh-round picks. He was projected as a fourth-round pick, but fell for unknown reasons and told reporters he would make teams that passed on him, "(blanking) pay." It has been clear this offseason that the Bengals were trying to make the defensive line a major team strength and it is really deep. The potential starters at ends are Mafe and 2023 first-round pick Myles Murphy, with 2025 first-round pick Shemar Stewart and Howell competing for snaps and playing at worst in a rotational role. Lawrence filled a huge need at nose tackle and will probably make TJ Slaton a salary cap cut, while the tackles opposite Lawrence are veteran BJ Hill and Allen with 2024 second-round pick Kris Jenkins also in the mix. The Bengals also this offseason signed veteran safeties Bryan Cook and Kyle Dugger and cornerback Ja'Sir Taylor to compete with Jalen Davis at slot corner. "From a talent standpoint, we're in a really good place," said Taylor. "From a leadership standpoint, we're in a really good place. Now, you have to actually go do the work. It's fun to talk about this stuff in the offseason. This is where we are up to this point. There's no work we could have really done on the field or anything like that, or from a chemistry standpoint. Now, it's up to the players and coaches to put it all together. That's going to require a lot of work on the field, in the locker room, off the field, but I'm excited about the group that we're going to go do it with." The one thing the Bengals haven't done this offseason is address linebacker and for now seem ready to move forward with second-year players Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter, who both started as rookies and struggled. Behind them is veteran Oren Burks, who has primarily been a backup and special teams player in his career and very little proven talent. Taylor said it's possible the team still might sign a veteran free agent with starting experience. "We'll have those conversations now that the draft is over," Taylor said. "It's one of those situations where there is value at other positions that we didn't want to pass up. Linebackers before you got a chance to get the next guy that you would have wanted. That's the way the draft always goes. That's how free agency goes sometimes. We do have lot of belief in the room that we have so those guys will continue to compete and if we do something after the draft that remains to be seen." Bengals Overall Grade: A-minus The Skinny: While not addressing linebacker seems egregious they did get a lot of value from most of their picks and even the ones they didn't - like Davis and Young - have measurables and high ceilings. The Bengals filled some key needs and added some possible starting caliber players for years to come, so it was hard not to be impressed with what they did.

The Bengals' 2026 NFL Draft reflected a clear strategy: build depth, target high-upside players and continue reshaping the roster around a strengthened defensive front. Cincinnati entered the draft without a first-round pick after trading for defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, then used seven selections over the final two days. Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner said the approach showed a focus on long-term development and roster balance. “I thought they did it. I thought it was really good,” Skinner said. “There was sound reasoning behind probably every pick.” The Bengals' top selections came on Day 2, when they drafted edge rusher Cashius Howell out of Texas A&M and cornerback Tacario Davis from Washington. Both are viewed as potential contributors, though Howell may begin as part of a deep rotation on the defensive line. “I like the player. I'm not so sure I love the pick,” Skinner said of Howell. “He's technically your fourth edge rusher at the moment.” The defensive line overhaul has been a central theme this offseason, with Cincinnati adding Lawrence, Boye Mafe and Jonathan Allen to create a deeper, more disruptive unit. "I think (the Bengals) got their value in Dexter Lawrence," said Mike Petraglia from CLNS Media. "I think that they addressed other things in this draft, in terms of their depth and the ability to have some added playmakers on defense. Looking back on it eight days later, I like the Dexter Lawrence move." The Bengals also addressed offensive line depth, selecting center Connor Lew in the fourth round and versatile lineman Brian Parker II in the sixth. “I think the value of this pick is just off the charts,” Skinner said of Lew, noting the 20-year-old's experience and upside. At wide receiver, Cincinnati added Colbie Young, a physically gifted prospect with limited college production. Skinner called the pick a traits-based gamble. “The traits are off the charts,” he said. “I just can't overlook the lack of production.” Day 3 selections focused on depth and developmental players, including tight end Jack Endries and Navy defensive tackle Landon Robinson. Skinner said Endries' competitive mindset stood out, recalling that the draftee said he would make every team that didn't draft him pay. Overall, Skinner graded the Bengals' draft an A-minus, citing a mix of immediate contributors and long-term prospects. "There is a high ceiling for all these guys. That's, I think the exciting part is these guys have a chance to, to take things to a whole different level," he said. "Literally every one of them, all the way down to, to Landon Robinson, the last pick they made at defensive tackle, there's a high ceiling for all these guys." "Here's another reason you get aggressive in free agency going into the draft," said Petraglia. "It allows you, I think, to take more chances on guys with higher ceilings, because if they don't work out, you do have, you address something else via free agency that presumably, uh, similar or the exact same position -- and I think the Bengals did that. I think they were more aggressive in free agency. They took a chance on higher end or guys with higher ceilings. Let's say that, put it that way. And I like that. I like that approach for a team that is trying to get more aggressive in that window with Joe Burrow." The Bengals may still look to add a veteran linebacker after the draft, as the position remains a question mark heading into the 2026 season.

Jordan Hayman has sat in almost every seat in this industry. Jumbotron editor for the Lakers during their championship run. Creative executive at Alkemi, working indie theatrical. Client-side at Lifetime under the legendary Bob and Lew. Broadcast division builder at AV Squad. And now, founder of The Shop, the boutique he always knew he'd build from the moment he was running packages around town for Tony Seiniger as a high schooler. This one goes deep on the career, the grind, and the decisions that don't have clean answers. Jordan talks about what it took to start a broadcast division from scratch, why building relationships from day one at Fox Sports in 1996 was the most important business strategy he never consciously planned, and how working both sides of the table made him a better vendor. We also get into The Last Dance and what it was like to cut over a hundred trailers for the most anticipated sports documentary in years, the Tyson-Paul Countdown for Netflix, and the theatrical sensibility that separates The Shop from most broadcast-focused competitors. Key Takeaways The Relationship Is the Portfolio From his first internship to founding The Shop, Jordan's career has run on relationships built with patience and maintained with consistent delivery. Creativity matters, but so does customer service, speed, and knowing what it feels like to be on the other side of the table. Working Both Sides Changes Everything Spending time as a network executive at Lifetime gave Jordan something most agency-side people don't have: a first-hand understanding of what clients actually need. When he went back to the agency side, he knew exactly what a room like Bob and Lew's expected to see. Build a Division Like You're Proving It's Possible Starting AV Squad's broadcast arm from nothing was terrifying. Jordan spent months with almost no work and nearly convinced himself he'd be fired. Scott Edwards told him to enjoy the calm before the storm. He was right. Theatrical Sensibility Is Non-Negotiable Now The line between broadcast, streaming, and theatrical has effectively collapsed. Jordan and his partner Nick Shakarian brought theatrical DNA into every network campaign they touched, and that cross-pollination is now the price of admission for anyone doing serious streaming work. Surround Yourself with All-Stars The hardest part of starting a company isn't the creative. It's everything else. Jordan's solution was simple: find the best people for every role and get out of their way. Notable Quotes "From day one, from Fox Sports, from 1996 — everybody I came in contact with, I tried to be good to them." "When I was done working for Bob and Lew, I thought to myself, I can do anything. Not everybody made it out of there alive." "That was definitely my master's degree." "I am not a business person. I'm a creative person." "My dad told me not to do it. But I wouldn't want to do anything else, man."

Vier Jahre nach Beginn der russischen Vollinvasion senden wir eine besondere Folge von Streitkräfte und Strategien - produziert in Kiew. Stefan Niemann und Kai Küstner besuchen eine ukrainische Familie, die seit Wochen ohne Strom und Heizung lebt. Der fünfjährige Lew sagt, er warte darauf, dass der Krieg endlich vorbei sei. Seine Eltern harren aus - trotz Kälte, Dunkelheit und nächtlicher Angriffe. "Wir werden kämpfen. Wenn es schwierig wird, unterstützen wir uns gegenseitig und bleiben eine Einheit", sagt sein Vater Sewolod.Die Hosts erleben an einem Tag junge Menschen bei einer Techno-Nacht in Kiew, die sich zwischen Luftalarm und Lebenswillen ein paar Stunden Normalität gönnen. An einem anderen Tag besuchen sie eine geheime Drohnenfabrik. Unter größten Sicherheitsvorkehrungen wurden sie an den Ort gebracht - Handys eingeschlossen im Faradayschen Käfig, Kameras tabu. Das deutsche Start-up Quantum Systems entwickelt dort gemeinsam mit einem ukrainischen Partner moderne Aufklärungsdrohnen. Ein seltener Einblick in eine Hightech-Produktion - an einem Ort, der selbst zum Angriffsziel werden könnte. Im Gespräch mit dem Leiter des ARD-Studios Kiews, Vassili Golod, geht es um sein Exklusiv-Interview mit Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj und um die Perspektiven im beginnenden fünften Kriegsjahr. Golod beschreibt auch das Dilemma bei der Mobilisierung: "Alle Ukrainer wollen siegen, aber nicht alle wollen kämpfen". Zudem besuchen die beiden Hosts die ARD-Korrespondentin Rebecca Barth in ihrer Wohnung. Sie berichtet über das Leben in den von Russland besetzten Gebieten, die sie als eine Art "Freiluftgefängnis" beschreibt. Es geht um systematische Russifizierung, Repression - und darum, was das für Kinder und ihre Familien bedeutet. Diese besondere Ausgabe über Widerstandswillen und Erschöpfung geht der Frage nach, woher die Menschen in der Ukraine nach vier Jahren Krieg die Kraft nehmen, weiterzumachen.

To nie jest "typowy" wpis - chciałem Cię tylko poinformować, że po 9 miesiącach (uffff!) skończyłem pracę nad BYĆ i MIEĆ 2: High Performance. Nie chcę tu go wychwalać albo reklamować, dlatego zrobimy tak: wypiszę to co w BiM 2 omówiłem i to pomoże podjąć Ci decyzję, czy chcesz go kupić czy też nie. W pierwszej kolejności o tym, dla kogo jest BYĆ i MIEĆ 2: dla ludzi w biznesie dla ludzi w korporacjach dla ludzi w polityce dla sportowców dla ludzi w jednostkach specjalnych oraz dla wszystkich tych, których interesuje sięganie po więcej Dla kogo NIE jest BiM2? Bez wątpienia nie jest to program dla początkujących. NIE polecam również zaczynania przygody z ZenJaskiniowca od tego właśnie programu... Najbardziej skorzystają ci, którzy już znają moją twórczość, moje programy, moje podcasty, szczególnie BYĆ i MIEĆ 1. Pomimo tego, że BYĆ i MIEĆ 2 pomyślane jest jako program niezależny. Czyli - dobrze jest mieć bazę i przerobić to co było wcześniej, jeśli jednak tak się nie stało, nie ma szczególnego problemu. Jest to zatem program dla tych, którzy pracowali już z moimi materiałami i dla tych, którzy chcą spojrzeć na siebie, swoje możliwości oraz na świat w inny, lepszy sposób. Wiele w programie tym elementów, z którymi ja się spotkałem po raz pierwszy. WSTĘP - wstępu nie ma, bo od razu przechodzimy do rzeczy. ROZDZIAŁ 1 - Obi Wan Nairobi Czy aby napewno mental jest najważniejszym elementem High Performance? I czy aby na pewno najlepszym sposobem poprawy swojego mentalu jest praca nad nim bezpośrednio? Czym jest model MUSK? Jakie są dwie podstawowe przeszkody na drodze do wyjątkowych osiągnięć? Czego i High Performance uczą nas MrBeast, Matthew McConaughey i Anthony Hopkins? oraz czy skupianie się na detalach ma jakikolwiek sens? ROZDZIAŁ 2 - ALL BLACKS  Czy High Performance polega na połączeniu się pod tradycję czy też na odrzuceniu jej? Dlaczego Juliusz Cezar popłakał się na widok pomnika Aleksandra Wielkiego? Jak pracować nad tym czego nikt nie będzie mógł ci odebrać? TO-DO-LIST vs TO-BE-LIST Jakie jest 5 pytań, które pomogą kształtować twoją nową, lepszą tożsamość? Jakich 3 mantra uczeni się wszyscy zawodnicy All Blacks? Jak postrzegać presję by cię wzmacniała? oraz na czym polega model czerwonej głowy / niebieskiej głowy? Czego tresura psów uczy o High Performance u ludzi? Jak w 3 krokach radzić sobie w sytuacji presji przy bardzo wysokich stawkach? Jakie są pułapki pogoni za większą pewnością siebie oraz do czego prowadzi wygrywanie tylko tego momentu... ROZDZIAŁ 3 - MACHIAVELLI dlaczego silni potrzebują konfliktów i godnego wroga? Czy jest jego prawie nieznana ale absolutnie rewolucyjna koncepcja UNO SOLO (oraz jakie są dalekosiężne jej konsekwencje) Do jakiej pozycji powinien dążyć każdy ambitny człowiek? Czy ekspansja jest dobrym pomysłem - a jeśli tak, to jaka? Jaka była główna - a często jedyna - motywacja wielkich historycznych postaci? (nie, nie chodzi o próżność) W jaki sposób High Performance wiąże się z koniecznością - czyli de facto z brakiem wyboru i wolności Która z konieczności musi być dla Księcia najważniejsza? Co powinno być jedynym hamulcowym pogoni za więcej? Na czym polega myślenie w kategoriach konieczności? i dlaczego starożytni byli silniejszymi ludźmi niż współcześni? Jaki jest jedyny sposób na osiągnięcie nieśmiertelności? Czym dla Machiavellego było "dobre, szczęśliwe życie"? W jaki sposób zrozumieli ludzkiej kondycji prowadzi w logiczny sposób do sięgania po więcej? Czym u Maka było pojęcie prawdy faktycznej (rzeczywistej) i jakie są konsekwencje tego pojęcia? Czy twoja religia aby na pewno cię wzmacnia? Co jest jedynym gwarantem skutecznego działania? Jaką jest "etyka" w wykonaniu Machiavellego? Jaka jest jego psychologia High Performance i czym są LEW, LIS, SPIRITO i AMINO? Dlaczego musisz być bardziej zwierzęciem niż człow...

Chris Boucher is the author of the new book, “Harry “Bucky” Lew: A Biography of Basketball's First Black Professional” The book tells the story of how Harry “Bucky” Lew leapt over pro basketball's color wall in 1902 and continued to integrate every single role in the game over the next 25 years. He was the first Black player, coach, manager, referee, and franchise owner in otherwise white leagues. His accomplishments were well documented in the newspapers of his day, but he has largely been forgotten, despite his assist to the Dodgers in finding a home for their first Black players in the United States and the full integration of all major league sports that soon followed.Chris is a lifelong basketball fan and resident of Lowell, Massachusetts and hadn't heard of Bucky Lew until he started researching the history of basketball in Lowell. He was shocked to learn all that Lew had accomplished and now hopes to get him his proper due.On this episode Mike & Chris discuss the remarkable life of Harry “Bucky” Lew, the first black professional basketball player. Lew's significant contributions to the sport include breaking color barriers as a player, coach, manager, referee, and franchise owner within predominantly white leagues from 1902 onward. The discussion highlights the historical context of Lew's achievements, emphasizing his role in advancing racial integration in professional basketball and his pivotal influence on subsequent generations of athletes. Boucher articulates the challenges Lew faced, including racial discrimination and physical confrontations during games, shedding light on a largely forgotten yet crucial chapter in basketball history. As we explore Lew's legacy, we aim to bring greater awareness to his story and the profound impact he had on the evolution of the sport.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @hoopheadspod for the latest updates on episodes, guests, and events from the Hoop Heads Pod.Make sure you're subscribed to the Hoop Heads Pod on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts and while you're there please leave us a 5 star rating and review.

Lew led an incredible life with a tragic end, after he was killed by a Great White Shark

Old-timer Lew Pickens' passions hark back to his days clearing land in Northland - camp oven cooking and driving bullock teams. He has a woolshed full of early tools and farming machines on the farm now run by son Craig. He is keenly aware that his stories, culture, traditions and old ways will be lost when he, and a few like him, are gone. You can find photos and read more about the stories in this episode on our webpage, here.With thanks to:Lew, Julie and Craig Pickens, and Julie TannneauGo to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

When Lew Frankfort joined Coach, it was a family run, wholesale handbag business worth six million dollars.He spent 35 years at the company, from opening the company's first shop to growing the business now valued at over five billion dollars.We find out what led Lew to an unlikely career in fashion and how a chance meeting with a US president sparked his social consciousness.If you'd like to get in touch with the programme, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Ed Butler Producers: Hannah Bewley and Hannah Mullane(Picture: Lew Frankfort, chairman emeritus and former CEO of Coach.)

Jack Lew was drawn to a mission of service well before becoming the 76th U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. As a kid in Forest Hills, Queens, he stepped up as his high school's inaugural Earth Day coordinator. Inspired by a local rabbi, he supported low-income housing in his hometown. Raised in a home committed to Jewish life and Zionism but also social justice and the community around him, Lew never wavered from an equal sense of responsibility to both worlds. In fact, it's that very outlook that led him to a storied career in public service without ever sacrificing his Jewish faith and practice.   On January 13th, Rabbi David Wolpe sat down with Secretary Lew for an in-depth SAPIR Conversation. Together, they reflected on moments both personal and historic: the time President Clinton left Lew a voicemail on Shabbat; the pivotal conversation he had with President Obama before accepting the position of White House Chief of Staff; the experience of serving as U.S. Ambassador to Israel weeks after October 7th. They also discussed the future of U.S. military assistance to Israel, the fate of American Jewry, and – this being a SAPIR issue on Money – his understanding of the ideal form of Tzedaka, or charity.   Read the SAPIR essays referenced in this SAPIR Conversation, including:   Ilana Horwitz's essay on Poverty and Jewish Community: https://sapirjournal.org/money/2025/poverty-and-jewish-community/   Jordan Chandler Hirsch's essay on The Need for a Jewish Sovereign Wealth Fund: https://sapirjournal.org/money/2025/the-need-for-a-jewish-sovereign-wealth-fund/   Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): ⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/theo-gerard/monsieur-groove 

In the second part of this powerful episode of Game of Crimes, Lew Rice, a retired DEA Special Agent and senior leader, discusses his life of service, sacrifice, and what it truly means to wear the badge.Lew takes listeners inside his distinguished DEA career, which began on the gritty streets of New York City and led to overseas assignments, major leadership roles, and ultimately becoming Special Agent in Charge in New York—the pinnacle of his lifelong dream. He explains why the spirit and energy of New York law enforcement are unmatched, forged by intensity, brotherhood, and an unwavering commitment to the mission.

What does it really take for a heritage brand to become part of everyday culture? In this episode, Lew Frankfort—former CEO of Coach and author of The Bag Man—shares how Coach scaled from a small leather workshop into a global brand by designing for real life, not runway moments. Lew breaks down why he focused on “share of closet” over one-hit wonders, how early DTC testing and customer data shaped collections, and the craft decisions—like lighter-weight leather and functional silhouettes—that turned comfort into a competitive edge. He also reflects on Coach's expansion into Japan in the 90s, the power of signature materials, and today's brand stewardship with Stuart Vevers and Todd Kahn, where sustainability, vintage, and experiential retail are signals of listening, not gimmicks.Key Takeaways:• Design for real life — Function, comfort, and repeat use build lasting loyalty. • Data beats instinct alone — Zip codes, psychographics, and field testing reveal what customers won't say. • Stewardship over seasons — Legacy brands win by evolving their codes, not abandoning them.

In this explosive episode of Game of Crimes, Murph sits down with Lew Rice, a legendary 26-year veteran of the DEA, to pull back the curtain on the brutal realities of America's drug war. Lew shares firsthand stories from the front lines of federal drug enforcement, revealing how drugs like heroin, opioids, meth, and fentanyl have devastated communities across the country. From the early days of the DEA—formed during the heroin crisis of the 1970s—to modern investigations battling fentanyl trafficking, Lew explains how the mission has evolved while the dangers have only intensified.The conversation also dives deep into groundbreaking cases, including the infamous Frank Lucas investigation, which helped establish key legal precedents still used by law enforcement today.

The widespread adoption of and the rapid evolution of generative AI platforms have created substantial challenges for faculty in how we assess student learning. In this episode, Lew Ludwig and Todd Zakrajsek join us to discuss a new resource they have created that is designed to help faculty use AI to efficiently support teaching practices based on the science of learning. Lew is a Professor of Mathematics at Denison University, where he served as Director of the Center for Learning and Teaching from 2020 to 2025. Much of his recent work has focused on innovative methods for utilizing generative AI. Todd is an Adjunct Associate Research Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, from which he just retired a few months ago after 17 years. He is also the Director of the International Teaching Learning Cooperative and the Director of four Lilly conferences on evidence-based teaching and learning. Todd is the author of many superb books, and has published six books (so far) in the past five years. A transcript of this episode and show notes may be found at http://teaforteaching.com.

Holidays are over! Back to normal!  Well, kind of. I'll admit, I was kind of tired after the holidays: eating, drinking, staying up late. traveling, playing games (had a LOT of fun playing The Chameleon, a gift from our friends the Gallups, thanks for that!), and all that holiday stuff. So there's really only one story this time, plus some cooking, and a nice lunch out.  The interview is a good one, with Herman Mihalich of Mountain Laurel Spirits, the Bristol, PA distillery you may know better as Dad's Hat. Herman told me about how he got into this, about how his family ran a bar in their house, and about why Dad's Hat only makes rye whiskey. (They actually make the occasional small amount of apple brandy, but that's pretty Pennsylvania too.)  After the interview, I tell you how I make two holiday favorites: hot-smoked salmon and Lew's Smoked Nuts, which are oh-so-popular with my friends. They can't keep their hands off my nuts! I'll also tell you about the great Pennsylvania Dutch lunch I had with my Aunt Alice before Christmas: chicken and waffles, and fried eggplant.  What I'm Drinking Today is a annual favorite that I just picked up at the brewery a couple days ago, Tröegs Nugget Nectar, that resolutely hoppy 'imperial amber ale.'  The Smack Dab In The Centre segment is about where to find the best non-alcoholic drinks for Dry January (remember, bars and brewers and distillers and such need your support this month, too). Next episode will be...something. Yeah, we're back in that scenario. Fear not, I'll deliver...and I got some new equipment for another project.

This episode dives deep into bass fishing strategy, bass fishing patterns, and how to adapt bass fishing techniques across rivers, reservoirs, and tidal water throughout the Mid-Atlantic.James and Chris share their bass fishing journeys—from early pond fishing, fly fishing roots, and light saltwater fishing, to becoming consistent winners in kayak bass fishing tournaments and grassroots bass fishing clubs. Their shared passion for river smallmouth bass fishing shines through, as they explain why river smallmouth remains their favorite style of fishing above largemouth bass fishing, tidal bass fishing, or reservoir bass fishing.We recap their dominant tournament bass fishing season, highlighting wins and podium finishes across some of the most diverse bass fisheries in Virginia and the DMV:·       Lake Mooney bass fishing – 1st place (March & October)·       Occoquan Reservoir (Rez)– 1st place (April), 3rd place (June)·       Aquia Creek bass fishing – 1st place (May)·       Shenandoah River smallmouth bass fishing – 1st place (July)·       Occoquan River tidal bass fishing – 2nd place (November)The conversation focuses heavily on how to catch bass in changing conditions, emphasizing pre-tournament homework, breaking down a fishery, and building reliable Plan A and Plan B bass fishing patterns. James and Chris explain how cold water bass fishing, tidal current bass fishing, and reservoir structure fishing all require different mindsets and lure selections.Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcastIf you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com  James Murtha on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimmy_goes_fishing?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==  Link to Lew's Golf & Fish Club Website: https://linktr.ee/lewsgolf_fishclub  Lew's Golf & Fish Club Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lewsgolf.fishclub Lew's Golf & Fish Club Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lewsgolf_fishclubPlease checkout our Patreon SponsorsJake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/ Tiger Crankbaits on Facebook!! https://www.facebook.com/tigercrankbaits  Fishing the DMV Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Arensbassin/?ref=pages_you_manage  #bassfishing #fishingtheDMV #fishingtipsSupport the show

This week, Richard Graves sits down with Lew Porchiazzo, Assistant Director for Strength & Conditioning for Olympic Sports at the University of Michigan. Lew brings more than 16 years of experience at one of the most successful athletic departments in the NCAA. His journey from a Division III football lineman to a leader shaping the development of athletes in softball, gymnastics, men's soccer and more, is filled with hard-earned lessons, humility, and an unwavering commitment to supporting people first. In this conversation, Lew dives into: • How to develop trust-driven relationships with athletes • What it truly takes to “raise the floor” of athletic performance • Why systems like Perch have changed the way Michigan trains • The realities of guiding young, ambitious athletes through strength, power, and conditioning programmes • The age-old question: How strong is strong enough? How fit is fit enough? Lew's philosophy blends evidence-based practice, a deep understanding of human behaviour, and a humility-first leadership style that resonates across the world of elite sport. In this episode, you will learn: * How Lew progressed from internships to a senior leadership role at Michigan—and what he learned along the way * Why treating athletes as humans first is central to unlocking performance * How Michigan individualises training across sports with vastly different demands * The process of integrating Perch velocity-based training and how it transformed athlete intent and coaching quality * How to use real-time data to adjust loads, manage fatigue, and protect athletes from themselves * When to stop chasing maximal strength and start focusing on raising the floor for performance * How to guide young athletes who want PBs every week without compromising long-term development * Why the most fulfilling moments in coaching come from watching athletes realise they're capable of more than they thought * Lew's leadership philosophy: vulnerability, authenticity, and serving others * The role of strength & conditioning in creating athletes who are not only powerful and robust—but durable and available About Lew Porchiazzo Lew Porchiazzo is the Assistant Director for Strength & Conditioning for Olympic Sports at the University of Michigan, where he has worked since 2009. He currently oversees physical development for a range of elite programmes including softball, women's gymnastics, and men's soccer. Lew began his career with internships at the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) and Baylor University, before joining Michigan as a graduate assistant. Across 16+ years he has become a central leader within the department, known for his athlete-first approach, relationship-driven coaching style, and commitment to developing staff and students with authenticity and humility. His expertise spans strength training, power development, velocity-based training, long-term athlete development, and programme design across sports with widely different physical demands. Beyond the weight room, Lew is passionate about helping athletes grow as people—and maintaining a love of movement and training long after their competitive days are over. He occasionally even officiates weddings… but you'll have to listen to the episode to hear that story.

Walking away from a secure city government job to eventually run one of the world's most recognizable handbag brands sounds like fiction. For Lew Frankfort, it became his career story, and the path between those two points is exactly what makes this conversation so valuable. Lew joins Joe Saul-Sehy and OG in the basement to break down how a combination of discipline, curiosity, and what he calls "magic and logic" shaped his journey from city hall to the corner office at Coach. This isn't just inspiration for aspiring executives. Lew's insights about making better decisions, taking calculated risks, and building a meaningful life apply whether you're 25 or 55, whether you're climbing the ladder or considering jumping to a different one entirely. Lew shares how preparation became his secret advantage, why curiosity beats confidence during major transitions, and what he learned about leadership while helping transform Coach into a global powerhouse. His framework for balancing intuition with analysis gives the Confident Explorer a practical lens for evaluating their own big moves, career pivots, or midlife reinventions. Then Joe and OG shift gears to tackle a different kind of transition. The first year of retirement. When excitement runs high and "go-go" energy meets newfound freedom, spending can spiral in ways that derail decades of careful planning. They break down the crucial financial decisions retirees face right out of the gate, why that first year can be surprisingly dangerous, and how to set yourself up for long-term stability without killing the joy of finally having time to live. Plus, Doug delivers trivia involving time travel and underwear, because even episodes about CEO wisdom and retirement planning need a reality check from the basement. What You'll Walk Away With: • How Lew Frankfort pivoted from city government work to leading Coach and what that path teaches about career reinvention • The "magic and logic" framework anyone can apply to big decisions and career moves • Why curiosity and thorough preparation matter more than confidence when making your next leap • Leadership lessons from someone who helped build a global brand from the inside • What retirees absolutely must understand about spending during that crucial first year • Why the "go-go years" of early retirement can wreck your finances if you're not careful • Strategies for aligning your early retirement excitement with long-term financial stability • Permission to reinvent yourself at any age, armed with both inspiration and practical wisdom This Episode Is For You If: • You're considering a career change but worried you're too far along to pivot • You want to understand how successful people actually made their big moves • You're approaching retirement and want to avoid the spending traps that catch most people • You're curious how to balance intuition with analysis when making major life decisions • You believe it's never too late to build something meaningful or try something new Before You Hit Play, Think About This: What's one career move or life transition you've been thinking about but haven't pulled the trigger on yet?

Lew ApolloTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Minnesota / Austin musician Lew Apollo.In this episode, Lew and I chat about his growing up in Minnesota, and what made him decide to move to Austin, Texas. Naturally, I ask him about his tattoos, and what they mean. Then we move onto a good ol' Texas burger slap fight! Lew and I go round and round, /1/4 pound for 1/4 pound about who has the best fast-food burger in South Texas; Whataburger or P. Terry's. Then we get into his music. Lew's new debut album is called Fool's Gold, and is a 9-track journey through heartache, acceptance, and finally contentment. We discuss a few of the tracks individually, and he even lets me play his most talked about song from this record. Lew does talk about learning from and being mentored by Austin local legend Blk Odyssy. We touch a bit on Lew's previous E.P. called Jungle, and what that title means to him. Sadly, we do discuss some rough subject matter related to his father's passing, and how this tragedy reframed the feeling and meaning of some of the songs he wrote before the event. Lew Apollo has a unique, original sound, and I can't stop playing his music in my house! Special shout out to Victor Gaspar, Orb Studios, and Rey Roldan at Rey Bee Publicity.

What if learning could feel like a team sport instead of a pressure test? Lyle "Lee" Jenkins, PhD., a longtime educator, shares how a chance encounter led him to a Deming conference specifically for educators in 1992, which transformed his thinking. Deming emphasized defining learning outcomes, rejecting numerical goals, and avoiding ranking. Lee explains how Deming methods prevent “cram and forget”, celebrate small wins, and rekindle students' natural love of learning. (Lee shared a powerpoint during the episode, which you can find on our website.) TRANSCRIPT 0:00:02.3 Andrew Stotz: My name is Andrew Stotz, and I'll be your host as we continue our journey into the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Today I'm talking with Lee Jenkins, who is a career educator in public school, ending his career as a school district superintendent. It was as a superintendent that he was introduced to the teachings of Dr. Deming, and he has been applying it to his life and work since then. In his business, Crazy Simple Education, he publishes books and schedules speaking engagements. Lee, how you doing?   0:00:38.4 Lee Jenkins: I am doing just great, Andrew. Yeah, this has been fun to put together. And just to highlight, I haven't done this before, just to highlight just simply what Deming taught. We've obviously, over the years added other things, but today we're just talking about what did he teach, just the pure form of it and our implementation of that.   0:01:01.6 Andrew Stotz: Yeah. And I think you and I have already met once and gone through this. It's pretty interesting, you know, I think what I enjoyed about our discussion, truthfully, what I liked, was your energy and the energy about the teachings of Deming and how we can apply that. And so I'm looking forward to seeing you bring that to the audience. Now, for those that are listening, we're going to have... Lee's got a PowerPoint and a presentation he's going to share, but we'll walk you through it. It's not like it's full of very complicated things. So, Lee, why don't you take us through a little bit about what you've prepared here?   0:01:38.3 Lee Jenkins: Okay, I can do that, Andrew. I was like anybody else as a school superintendent. I went to a meeting of the Association of School Administrators. I can't even tell you what city or state it was in, but I was there. And while I was in the hallway between sessions, Lew Rhodes, who worked for AASA, he came up and he said, "Lee, I think you'll enjoy this next session." And that's why I've called this, One-Minute Invite That Changed My Life. So I went in and no idea, I just liked Lew. I trusted him. And it was David Langford's an administrator. And that's how I was introduced to Deming and spent a lot of time after that, reading everything I could get my hands on and absorbed it. And I knew that he was correct in how organizations are operating. And so that intrigued me a great deal. But it was the same information that he shared with all organizations. I just took them and applied them to education. But then two years later, in 1992, American Association of School Administrators, under... With Lew Rhodes' leadership, sponsored a Deming conference. So I went to Washington, DC in January that year to hear him speak.   0:03:20.2 Lee Jenkins: We were there four days. He was assisted and was a part of it for two days. And for two days it was him on stage, the red beads, you know, all the things that listeners know about with Dr. Deming. And I would say that the first part of it was the things you would normally expect to hear. Now, understand, the audience here was educators. And I know there were educators sprinkled in his audiences in his whole speaking career. I know that. I wasn't one of them, but I know that. This was one that was specifically for educators. And nobody's told me any other time when he spoke to educators as the audience. So, but just things he'd say that we've all heard.   0:04:13.7 Lee Jenkins: Best efforts are not enough, you have to have knowledge, you have to have theory. He said too, you can't delegate quality. And I had school superintendents doing that all the time. You ask them about, anything about teaching or learning, they say, oh, no, I'm not involved in teaching and learning. I have an assistant superintendent for instruction. In other words, they've delegated quality. Deming talked about wasting time and wasting money in all organizations, and certainly schools are good at that. I'm going to talk at the end of this, how I took it onto one other point which is similar to what he's talked about also. The losses of the current system. He said in one place that, for 50 years... Now, he said this in the '90s, but for 50 years, America has been asking for better education without a definition of what better education is. And...   0:05:10.5 Andrew Stotz: That reminds me of talking to Bill Scherkenbach, who showed a picture of him, Dr. Deming, in the old days at an event of national teachers, and he said they really couldn't come up with a conclusion about what was the aim. [laughter]   0:05:25.9 Lee Jenkins: Yes, right. It's... Yeah, okay. And then he described fear, brings about wrong figures. So what did our government do? No Child Left Behind, which says, you increase your reading scores or your math scores or we're going to fire you. Well, then you get wrong numbers. That's what he predicted, that numerical goals are a failure. I had a discussion with a pastor several years ago and he said, "Our goal is to have 2,000 people in attendance on Easter Sunday." I said, "Okay, what's the best we've had so far?" "It was around 1800." "Okay, what happens if we have 1900 on Easter Sunday, the best ever? What do we do?" Well, it kind of caused him to think, which is my purpose. It wasn't to be critical, it was to get him to think. You could do your best ever but call yourself a failure because you didn't meet this artificial number. And I can hear Deming talking about just pulling the number out of the air. And that ranking is a failure. We rank and rank and rank in schools. I've got a granddaughter in first grade. School has just started. She's student of the month in her class, which means there's 19 failures of the month. I mean, Deming, it's just sad to see that it's still going on. But then Dr. Deming, I don't think it was in... It wasn't in his PowerPoint. Not even a PowerPoint. We had transparencies.   0:07:12.0 Andrew Stotz: Acetates.   0:07:12.6 Lee Jenkins: It wasn't in his transparencies. It wasn't in the handouts. But it's like he went on this little tangent and that's what has captivated my career, his tangent. And it was Dr. Deming, the statistician, talking about the classroom. So I'm going to go through what he said, just as he said, point by point. He said, number one, tell the students what they will learn this year. Now, when I share this with people, they say, oh, yeah, our college professors had syllabuses. I said, no, no, a syllabus is what the professor is going to teach. Dr. Deming talked about, what are they going to learn? They're two different things. What are you going to learn? And you give it to them. And we've done this pre-K, kindergarten all the way to grade 12 and a little bit of work at universities.   0:08:14.6 Andrew Stotz: And how detailed do you go on that? I see you're showing concept one to concept 19. Is it, you know, this is everything you're going to learn, or this is generally what you're going to learn?   0:08:26.5 Lee Jenkins: Well, this is a partial list. So it's the essential.   0:08:31.6 Andrew Stotz: Yep.   0:08:32.6 Lee Jenkins: I tell people, put down what's essential. Do not put trivia on the list. Now, of course you teach trivia. It's interesting, it's fun, but they're not accountable for it. And so it's what students have been asking for for years. What am I supposed to learn this year? I don't know how to study for the exam. I don't know what's important. I was at a... Doing a seminar for teachers in Missouri. And I said, "I wasn't a good test taker in college. Were some of you?" And a lady raised her hand and said, "Oh yeah, I was really good at it." I said, "How did it work?" She said, "Well, I was in a study committee and by design, half of our time was sharing our insights as we psyched out the professor. And then once we agreed on what was important and the personality of that professor, then we studied that." That's nonsense. Here's Dr. Deming saying, just tell them what you want them to learn, it's so simple.   0:09:47.0 Andrew Stotz: In the world of teaching, we often talk about learning outcome statements at the beginning of a lecture.   0:09:55.6 Lee Jenkins: Yeah.   0:09:56.5 Andrew Stotz: And I know, for instance, with CFA for Chartered Financial Analysts, they have very clear learning outcome statements and then they have a whole section that they teach and it's self study. And then you take an exam. Is that... Is learning outcome statement the same thing or is this something different?   0:10:13.0 Lee Jenkins: I would say it's the same. It's very, very close. It's same in general terms. Exactly. We're not talking about how it's going to be taught, only that it's going to be learned. Okay, the next thing Dr. Deming said to do... And by the way, before we leave, make sure this is a partial list. If I put the whole year's list on there, it's so small nobody could read it on the screen. Okay, next he said, give the students an exam every week on a random sample from the whole course. Said if, for example, you had a 100 concepts on your list, they would take a quiz on 10 of them each week, randomly selected.   0:11:02.6 Andrew Stotz: This is so mind blowing. Go ahead, keep going.   0:11:07.7 Lee Jenkins: Yes, because... So what do we do now in schools? We do cram, get a grade, forget. That's the most common thing in American education. Cram, get a grade, forget. Have a friend in college. He said, "Lee, I've looked at your website. I have a little bit of an idea of what you do. You don't know this about me, but I never studied the night before an exam in college, ever." "Oh, really? What'd you do, Larry?" He said, "Well, I set the alarm for 4 o'clock in the morning. I studied the morning before the exam." I said, "Why is that?" "I couldn't remember it overnight. So I did well in college. I got the grades on the exam and by noon it was gone. But I got through. That was my system." I was at my annual dermatology exam and the medical doctor said, "What do you do?"   0:12:20.7 Lee Jenkins: I said, "Well, actually I get on airplanes and I give speeches." "Ah, who do you give them to?" "Well, teachers and administrators." "But what do you tell them?" "I tell them how to set up a system where it's impossible to cram and forget, you just have to learn." She said, "Oh, that's interesting. That's what I did all the way through medical school." And I'm thinking, here I am with somebody who crammed and forgot all the way through. So I checked with an MD on my next plane flight who I happened to be sitting next to one. I told him the story. He said, "Yeah, that's how it works." I said, "Well, when do you learn?" "Residency." So Dr. Deming didn't talk about cram, forget. But the side effect was, when the students don't know what's coming on the Friday exam, they'll say to me, I just have to learn. There's no other choice. You just have to learn.   0:13:25.8 Andrew Stotz: Right. And then you talk about the... You're talking about the random sample size is roughly the square root of total concept list. I'm thinking about a 15 hour course that I teach and there's 25 concepts that I'm teaching. So a random sample would be 5 of those 25, give them that test. And then the idea here is that we're testing their understanding of that material. And in the beginning, let's just say that random, in the beginning, I haven't taught anything. So they have five questions and on average, let's say they get one right in the beginning because...   0:14:05.2 Lee Jenkins: You'd be lucky if you got an average of one. Yes.   0:14:07.8 Andrew Stotz: So we have evidence that they don't know the topic.   0:14:10.9 Lee Jenkins: Right.   0:14:11.6 Andrew Stotz: And then as we... Let's say we have five weeks and each week we go through, then in theory, if we've taught right and they've learned right, that they would be able to answer all five of those randomly selected questions on the fifth week?   0:14:29.3 Lee Jenkins: That's what you're after. You want them to not have to study, but whatever five is pulled out, they would get it. And if you're teaching a five week course, you might give 10 quizzes during the time, one at the beginning and one at the end of each class. So that because the random, you want them to have questions come up more than once, you want them to have the same question come up. Because that's part of the joy. Oh, we've had that, it's been taught or I've seen that before and it's not 25 questions, it's 25 concepts. Because you can ask it a multitude of different ways to see if they have the concept.   0:15:09.3 Andrew Stotz: And for teachers nowadays, or administrators, they're going to say, what's the point of giving quizzes for topics you haven't taught?   0:15:22.7 Lee Jenkins: That is the most common thing I've been told. Okay. And teachers who have done this for a number of years, sometimes 10, they will say that is the most powerful part of the whole process. Think of it as the synonym for what Dr. Deming taught as review preview. People are used to previews of movies and TV shows and all kinds of previews. And that's what it is. It's a preview. It's not graded. You know, the quizzes aren't graded. That is not fair.   0:16:00.9 Andrew Stotz: You mean they just don't count... They don't count as a grade for the students?   0:16:05.4 Lee Jenkins: Don't count as a... They're scored.   0:16:07.0 Andrew Stotz: Yeah.   0:16:07.3 Lee Jenkins: They're scored...   0:16:08.6 Andrew Stotz: They're scored.   0:16:08.7 Lee Jenkins: But they're not ABCDF on it. Yeah.   0:16:10.3 Andrew Stotz: Yep.   0:16:11.1 Lee Jenkins: It's just a number, correct. Yes. And so like a geography teacher, excuse me, science teacher, said, "You can't believe what happened to me last Friday. I said to the students, on Monday, we're going to start a unit on rocks. And these are middle school students. And they all applauded." He said, "I've never had students applaud about rocks before." Why? Because it keeps coming up on the quizzes and they want to know. It does that. And then when the students get things right that the teacher hasn't taught yet, then they get, oh, they're really happy. I outfoxed the teacher. I know that.   0:16:57.8 Andrew Stotz: Yeah. You can also imagine it would be interesting if you gave a test and the score was, you know, a four on average out of five, let's say, right at the beginning of the class, you think, wait a minute, they already know this stuff. How did they learn that? Where did they learn that? What am I doing in this class?   0:17:15.1 Lee Jenkins: And see, and one of the things we have to get our heads around is, it doesn't matter how they learn it. The question is, did they learn it? I mean, with AI out, okay, they can... They could do AI... They could find out on their own. They can ask their parents. I mean, there's books, there's the Internet. It doesn't matter. Did they learn it?   0:17:40.4 Andrew Stotz: Yep. Okay, this is great.   [overlapping conversation]   0:17:42.5 Lee Jenkins: So then Dr. Deming said, if you've got 100 concepts, then you'd have 10... It's what he said. You'd be 10 questions a week. So that was in January and in November, I wrote him a letter and we had teachers in the school district already doing this. "Thank you for your kind letter and for the 100 sided die." I had just seen that and they're on Amazon. You can buy a die that's 100 sides. It's like the size of a golf ball. He said "it's exciting. Thank you also for the charts, which I've looked at with interest. I wish for you all good things and remain with blessed greetings. Sincerely yours, W. Edwards Deming."   0:18:29.3 Andrew Stotz: That's cool. And that 100 sided die, that was just saying, if you had 100 concepts, just roll the die and pick whatever ones that land... The 10 that lands on it.   0:18:43.1 Lee Jenkins: Right. Now, I've discouraged over times people landing on 100 because you want essential. So to get to 100, you either have to add trivia to get to 100 or you have to take away essential to get down to 100. So I want people to put down what is it that's essential for their kids to know and when they see them 10 years from now, they still know it.   0:19:10.0 Andrew Stotz: Yep. Okay. So, let's not... We're not going to fixate on 100 is what you're saying.   0:19:14.6 Lee Jenkins: Don't fixate on the 100. But I'm telling what Dr. Deming said as an example. Yeah. And what we did. Okay. Then he said create a scatter diagram. This is not a scatter plot, it's a scatter diagram. So if you look at the bottom left, you can see that... And let me find here, if I can just pointer options. Let's get this. Okay, if you look right here, this is Quiz 1, Quiz 2, Quiz 3. Over time...   0:19:49.4 Andrew Stotz: Okay. So the... Just for the listeners, we're seeing a document that's up here with a 14 quizzes across the bottom. Yep. And then on the Y-axis...   0:20:03.1 Lee Jenkins: And the Y-axis is from 0 to 10.   0:20:06.5 Andrew Stotz: And that's the quiz questions.   0:20:09.8 Lee Jenkins: No, it's... They were asked 10 questions. Yes.   0:20:12.0 Andrew Stotz: Okay. So in this case we can see...   [overlapping conversation]   0:20:12.7 Lee Jenkins: The question number...   0:20:12.7 Andrew Stotz: And then those questions were randomly selected. And then they were put into a quiz format of 10 quizzes, quiz questions. And here we can see, for instance, question number two, four people, I'm assuming, got it right.   0:20:29.8 Lee Jenkins: On quest... This is... On quiz two...   0:20:31.0 Andrew Stotz: Quiz number one, let's say quiz number one, question number two.   0:20:35.7 Lee Jenkins: Quiz one, nobody... One person got zero right. One person got one right. Four people got two right.   0:20:41.7 Andrew Stotz: Okay. Okay. I see.   0:20:42.8 Lee Jenkins: One person got three. Okay?   0:20:44.8 Andrew Stotz: Yep.   0:20:45.8 Lee Jenkins: These are people for quiz one.   0:20:49.1 Andrew Stotz: Okay.   0:20:50.3 Lee Jenkins: Then this is quiz two. And then this is quiz three. Generally one each week. We've landed on seven times a quarter, because think snow days come up, things happen.   0:21:09.0 Andrew Stotz: Yep.   0:21:09.5 Lee Jenkins: But so seven out of the nine weeks works. So this is the quiz for a semester.   0:21:16.8 Andrew Stotz: Okay.   0:21:17.6 Lee Jenkins: And the end, at the 14th week, a 14th quiz, I mean, you've got one, two, three, four, five, six. We've got all 10 right. You got four of them with nine, et cetera. That's your Scatter diagram.   0:21:32.2 Andrew Stotz: Okay.   0:21:33.4 Lee Jenkins: Okay. Then he said, do that. Then he said, which I've heard nobody else ever say, add up the total for the whole class. That is unbelievable. Think about it. When an athletic team wins, the players and the coaches celebrate together. In schools, when the final's over, the students celebrate and they do not invite the teacher. Here, every time they are tracking their work, this is quiz one, quiz two, quiz three, four, five, six, seven. It's an interesting one. Somebody put this chart up on a bulletin board, put push pins up and connected with rubber bands.   0:22:24.5 Andrew Stotz: Right.   0:22:25.8 Lee Jenkins: Okay. Here's another one where they're learning that the United States states, they have a blank map of the United States. An arrow points to one of the states. They have to write down what state that is. And there they are. And this shows the progress over 18 quizzes. And you can see it going up and up and up. And here's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight times, where... And maybe there's another one. But you're... I'm covered... Oh, there is another one. There's nine times that the class did better than ever before as a team of learners. And they celebrate together, the teachers and the students together.   0:23:16.1 Andrew Stotz: Right.   0:23:16.7 Lee Jenkins: Look what we did. Then here's another one. This one on the left is from Australia. And I don't know what subject it was. There's no information. But I know that they went out and took a picture of it with one of the students holding it because they were so excited they'd hit the 200 mark after having started out at 65.   0:23:41.3 Andrew Stotz: Yeah. And for the listeners, we're... Basically Lee's showing different run charts of the number correct, starting from quiz number one all the way through to the final quizzes. And the number is going up and to the right showing that the process of learning is working.   0:24:03.4 Lee Jenkins: Yes. And this one here is spelling. We know that spelling doesn't... Spelling tests don't work. It starts in first grade. It's the classic cram on Thursday night if your mom makes you, take the test on Friday, forget on Saturday. So here is a classroom with 400 spelling words for the year. They're all put in a bucket and 20 are pulled out each... 20 are pulled out each quiz at random. And you can see they're learning the words. Now, sometimes people think that we teach at random. You don't teach at random. You teach logically.   0:24:40.1 Andrew Stotz: Right.   0:24:41.2 Lee Jenkins: But the random is giving you accurate information. Are the students actually learning it and not just playing the game. And here's a... You want students to do the work as much as possible. They're your student. That is when you see the coloring and the art, the creativity. Yeah, that's... You want to hand that over to kids to do as soon as you can. And here's one. A French class out of Canada. This is a Spanish class, a third year Spanish class. And the teacher has written that ABC, ABC, ABC, because the teacher had three different quizzes all for the same concepts. So they got quiz A, one week. Quiz B the next time. Quiz C the next time. Whatever, random numbers, but then she had three different complete sets of questions for each of the concepts.   0:25:37.0 Andrew Stotz: Right.   0:25:39.6 Lee Jenkins: Oh, I love this one here. The class had 69 correct, then 108, then 128 right as a class. Then they slumped. One, two, three, four, five, six weeks they slumped and they ended up 129 correct as a class. One more than ever before. The kids are thrilled. If you don't count it up, you'll never know that as a teacher. You'll never know it.   0:26:07.3 Andrew Stotz: And you wouldn't know your progress relative to your past class.   0:26:11.2 Lee Jenkins: You would not.   0:26:12.0 Andrew Stotz: Yep.   0:26:12.8 Lee Jenkins: And so I can't tell you how many teachers have told me, when they have a... The class has an all time best by one or two, a student in the class who's been struggling will stand up and do a chest pump and say, it was me.   0:26:27.6 Andrew Stotz: Yeah.   0:26:28.8 Lee Jenkins: If it hadn't been for my correct questions, which were few in number, but hadn't been for mine, the class wouldn't be celebrating. Yeah, we all understand that, if you're a poor athlete, you're on the basketball team and you're on the bench and the coach decides to put you in for a little bit. The other team fouls you because they know you're not a good athlete. But you make the free throw and the team wins by one.   0:26:57.3 Andrew Stotz: Right.   0:26:57.6 Lee Jenkins: You don't hang your head and say, we only won by one. No, you and everybody knows you're the one that made the point that counted, yeah, it's the same thing. And I've wrote this, it's so important. But sports teams celebrate together, coach and athletes, with class run charts, teachers and students celebrate together. So since 1992, we have subtracted nothing from Dr. Deming, what he taught. We've added some clever additions. The little dots on there that say all time best, that's an addition. We changed it from every week to almost every week. And if we have a chance to do another podcast, I will focus on all the things we've added that are so creative, that have come mainly from students. But what Dr. Deming said, and I'm estimating it was three to five minutes, that he shared and they went back to his normal program and it just impacted me. I couldn't believe it.   0:28:15.7 Andrew Stotz: Right.   0:28:17.9 Lee Jenkins: On the website, Crazy Simple Education, there are free blank graphs. So if anybody's interested in what I'm talking about, there's... If you're... And you'd have to look at, if I'm adding... If I'm asking five questions a week, then there's question... There's graphs for that. If I'm asking 20, there's... They're all there. And other things.   0:28:36.6 Andrew Stotz: Yep.   0:28:39.6 Lee Jenkins: So there's kind of just my little bit of the bio, but it's already been shared. And then on the website, if anybody's interested after over 25 years, what would be the most detailed information of Dr. Deming it's in this book. But you're going to get that information in the future anyway. But I'm just saying, it is there.   0:29:10.9 Andrew Stotz: And just for the viewers, that book, go back to the book for a second. For the listeners, it's called the Essential Navigation Tool for Creating Math Experts, Numbers, Logic, Measurement, Geometry.   0:29:24.0 Lee Jenkins: It has the actual quizzes for grade five, the 28 quizzes for the year. They're there.   0:29:31.2 Andrew Stotz: Right. Right. Amazing.   0:29:33.0 Lee Jenkins: It is superbly put together. Each of the concepts in grade five is assessed seven times. Each of the grade four concepts are assessed twice during the school year. And each of the grade three concepts are assessed once during the year.   0:29:53.5 Andrew Stotz: Yep.   0:29:54.0 Lee Jenkins: So you don't have to waste the first month or so going over last year. You just start the new content and the review is built in.   0:30:02.4 Andrew Stotz: Yep. Okay. And for the listeners and the viewers, we're not trying to sell this stuff. What we're trying to do is show it as an example of the things that you're doing, which is great.   0:30:12.6 Lee Jenkins: Yes. Yeah. It just shows what can be done with the simple concepts.   0:30:18.5 Andrew Stotz: Yeah.   0:30:18.8 Lee Jenkins: And this is one example. Yes. And so then Dr. Deming talked about waste. And he also said that graphs have to be long and narrow. So here's my long and narrow graph on waste. I asked 3,000 teachers, five different states, just what grade level do you teach and what percentage of your kids love school? Okay, well, kindergarten teachers said 95% of their kids love school. First grade said 90%, second grade said 82% love school. And it goes down every year. It gets fewer and fewer kids love being in school until we get a low of 37% love school in grade nine. It ticks up slightly in grades 10, 11, and 12. But I show this to people, the most common answer I get is, well, of course it went up in grade 10, 11, and 12. I dropped out of high school. They didn't count me.   0:31:25.9 Andrew Stotz: Yeah, yeah.   0:31:28.6 Lee Jenkins: So, but, so the biggest waste in education is the love of learning kids bring to kindergarten. Much more damage caused by that than wasting time and money. That the kids have all the motivation they need for life in that five-year-old body. It's not our job to motivate...   0:31:52.4 Andrew Stotz: And then we flush it out of them.   0:31:52.4 Lee Jenkins: Yeah. It's not our job to motivate them. It's the job to maintain it. So I'll tell you a story of a good friend that I worked with from the very beginning. I mentioned that when I had the note that went off to Dr. Deming. And after we'd just gotten started, he's still teaching grade eight science. He has five periods of science. He says every year, the first day of school, three, four, five eighth graders come to him each period. And they say, "Just so you know, Mr. Burgard, I hate science." So he says to them, "Oh, that's interesting. How long have you hated science?" The kids say the same thing every time, "I always hated science." He says, "You know, actually, that's not true. You loved everything in kindergarten. Tell me your story." And they tell the story. Well, I was in grade three or I was in grade five, whatever, they tell their story. He says, "Okay, here's the deal this year, I'm not going to motivate you to learn science. What I am going to do is to try to put you back the way you used to be. We're going to put you back with the mind of a kindergartner loving learning. That's what we're going to do." Because they... Everybody has stories on what happened to them.   0:33:23.4 Andrew Stotz: Yep.   0:33:24.3 Lee Jenkins: So I would conclude this part by saying, I am forever grateful to Dr. Deming. My younger son went to the Deming Scholars Program with Joyce Orsini and he graduated. I got to meet both Diana and Judy Cahill, and they were helpful. Kevin just been helpful to me. Kevin Cahill, the grandson, David Langford, I met with him in-person probably 20 times. All encouraging. Jake Rodgers now is the reason why we're here. And of course you, Andrew. So there's so many people to be grateful to that have encouraged me along this journey, in addition to several thousand teachers who send me their stories and their pictures of their graphs, thanks.   0:34:14.1 Andrew Stotz: Fantastic. That's quite a story. And I just love those lessons that you've gone through. I'm going to stop. Is it okay if I stop sharing the screen? I'm going to do that myself here. Is that okay?   0:34:27.9 Lee Jenkins: Yes.   0:34:28.4 Andrew Stotz: Okay, hold on. Don't do anything there. Okay, now I see you, you and me. I want to wrap up because I think that was a great presentation. A lot of things that I'm thinking about myself. But I did have one question for you that I... I'm not sure what to do. One of the things that I've found with teaching is that sometimes my students, they have a hard time focusing. And so when I tell them, okay, you need to read chapters one, two and three before we meet the next time, let's say short chapters. And then they find it's hard for them to stay, they're like, ah, I'll do it later. So they really haven't covered the material. Now, if I give them, if I say, you need to read chapters one, two and three, and I'm going to have a short quiz on chapters one, two and three, and I'm going to give you quizzes every time that we meet, not as an objective to score your work, but as an objective to help you keep focused. And then I do that, let's say five times, and then I take the two best scores and I drop the rest, so, it shows that they did it. And I find that my students, they definitely do... They stay up on their work with it. So my question is, how do I incorporate this, which is really an assessment of the learning in the class with that, or do I need to drop what I'm doing with my quizzes?   0:36:00.6 Lee Jenkins: Okay, we're really talking about the difference between them intrinsically wanting to learn it and being pressured to learn it.   0:36:13.8 Andrew Stotz: Yep.   0:36:14.0 Lee Jenkins: In a sense. Okay? Now, one of the parts I did not share that could be for future. But the students do graph their own work. Dr. Deming didn't talk about that, but that was... I just focused on what he taught. They graph their own work. And then there's the graph for the whole class. They want to know if they have a personal best. They care about that at all grade levels.   0:36:41.8 Andrew Stotz: Yep.   0:36:42.4 Lee Jenkins: When I... My work is with teachers and if it's a two-day seminar, there's three quizzes, day one and three, and three more quiz, two, day two. There's... You see them, high five. They're teachers. They got... They did better than ever before. Other people are congratulating them. They're so happy. And then at the table where they... Because they usually sit about six or eight at a table, they can see their table did better. There's a chart up on the wall, that's everybody in the room. It might be 200. And altogether we did better than ever before. They care about that. And so kids...   0:37:29.6 Andrew Stotz: Okay so from that, do I take from that drop the quiz that I'm doing and replace it with what you're talking about and get them excited about that and then they'll do their work naturally.   0:37:41.3 Lee Jenkins: Because they don't want to let the team down.   0:37:45.7 Andrew Stotz: Right.   0:37:46.1 Lee Jenkins: Okay?   0:37:46.5 Andrew Stotz: Okay.   0:37:47.7 Lee Jenkins: One of Dr. Deming's story for business was, a businessman came, listened to him and he had salespeople on commission. He went back after hearing Dr. Deming and he said, I'm not going to pay everybody their individual commissions anymore. We're going to put all the commissions in a bucket and everybody gets the same amount. So what happened? The best salesperson quit and the company sales went up because everybody wanted to help the team. They couldn't... They didn't want to be the freeloader. They wanted to contribute. But when you think, oh, that person always gets the free trip to Hawaii. I'll never get that. It's not motivating. It's demotivating.   0:38:37.7 Andrew Stotz: Right.   0:38:38.4 Lee Jenkins: And so they want to help. My only time that I know about a good experience in college, was a professor teaching masters students. And he taught the same class on Monday night and Tuesday night. They were doing research methods from all departments on campus. He gave the quiz on Monday night and then the same goes on Tuesday night. And students, they're taking night classes. They don't come every time, things happen in their lives. So it used to be if a student said, I can't come next Tuesday night, they just wouldn't come. Now they say I can't come next Tuesday night, is it okay if I come on Monday, if I do that and take the quiz, will you put my score on the Tuesday night group? Because they don't want to let their team down. Here they are in their 30s and 40s and 50s, getting their master's degree and they care about... So it's... And then something else we haven't talked about, that we have graphs for the school. It's the whole... It's the school-wide graph. And every teacher has to turn in the total for their classroom for whatever subject they're doing it with by a certain time. And then there's a graph in the hallway for the whole school. Teachers you're not going around the clipboard and inspecting the teachers to make sure they turn it in. No, they do turn it in because they want to help... They don't want to let the team down.   0:40:06.4 Andrew Stotz: Right, right. Okay, I got it. All right. Is there anything you want to share in the... In wrapping up?   0:40:16.0 Lee Jenkins: I would say that you will get the question, how can you assess them on things that you haven't taught yet? And the answer is you don't grade... You don't give them a letter grade for it.   0:40:28.6 Andrew Stotz: Yep. So you're assessing their knowledge. You're not scoring that assessment.   0:40:34.3 Lee Jenkins: Yes. Yes. And you will have more fun than you can believe from Dr. Deming's simple concept, no matter what age you're teaching, no matter what subject, you will love it.   0:40:48.8 Andrew Stotz: It's brilliant. It's brilliant because it shows that the teacher cares, that first the teacher says, I know what I want to get you guys to learn in this semester as an example. And it's very clear. And I want to know that you're learning it.   0:41:08.5 Lee Jenkins: Yes. And actually, the hardest part for teachers is to write down on a sheet of paper what they want them to know at the end of the year.   0:41:15.7 Andrew Stotz: Yeah. It forces a lot of structure onto you to have to think ahead of time, what do I... What exactly do I want here? You can't... What you're talking about is really clarifying the learning outcomes.   0:41:28.7 Lee Jenkins: Yes. You can't just say one... Stay one chapter ahead of the kids.   0:41:32.7 Andrew Stotz: Yeah.   0:41:33.2 Lee Jenkins: No, you got to know upfront what it is, and that's hard. That takes time. And you revise it. At the end of the year, you'll say, why did I put that dumb one on there, everybody knows that. Oh, I left off something else that was really important. Why didn't I put that on there? Well, every year you will tweak it, but you're not starting over again, ever.   0:41:54.0 Andrew Stotz: One of the interesting things that I can do is, I have my valuation masterclass, which is an online course, and it's a 12-week course. And I do it, let's say roughly three times a year. So I've got a great data set there that I rep... You know, my repetition is not annual. It's three times a year. I even may do it four. But the point is that, you know, I can just repeat, repeat, repeat, improve, improve, improve, and then show them as...   [overlapping conversation]   0:42:20.1 Lee Jenkins: You can... You got a perfect model.   0:42:21.1 Andrew Stotz: Yeah.   0:42:21.4 Lee Jenkins: Yes, you can.   0:42:22.4 Andrew Stotz: Yeah. No, that's exciting. Okay, well, on behalf of everyone at the Deming Institute, I want to thank you, Lee, for joining us and sharing your Deming journey and just a very tiny interaction with Dr. Deming and what he's teaching, that you've expanded into something to bring that joy in learning. So I really appreciate that. And ladies and gentlemen, this is your host, Andrew Stotz. And I'm going to leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Deming and I'm going to tweak it a little bit for education because he said, people are entitled to joy in work. And I think today what we're talking about with Lee is that, people are entitled to joy in education.   0:43:04.9 Lee Jenkins: Absolutely. They are entitled to that. Absolutely. Yes. Thank you.
