I spoke with Joshua Cooper Ramo in this podcast interview, partly about his latest book, The Seventh Sense and partly about his overall life and pursuit of excellence. Mr. Ramo started off as a journalist, working at Newsweek then for Time Inc back when, as he says, “it mattered who The Man of the Year was.” He worked as both senior and as foreign editor at Time, and he wrote for them long enough ago (1997) that he wrote The Man Of the Year cover story on Andy Grove, one of the founders of Intel. From Time Inc he moved to China to pursue adventure in the world of business. He became fluent in Chinese and fell in love with the culture. In China he worked for the former president of Goldman Sachs and eventually began working at his current company, Kissinger Associates, where he's now co-CEO. He lived in Beijing full time for a little over a decade and now splits his time between Beijing and New York. Yes, he's a busy, pipe hittin' dude and I was super stoked to connect for this conversation. I found him through his first book, No Visible Horizon, a lovely story about his journey to aerobatic nationals as a pilot that reminded me of reading Ernest Gann's “Fate Is The Hunter”, another excellent and relatively unsung pilot book. Curious about what else he'd written, I found his third book, The Seventh Sense, which I read through with great enjoyment and then went on to read his second book, The Age of the Unthinkable. Reading those two books gave me a look into the mind of a writer deeply immersed in international relations, intensely curious about connections in the modern age, and fascinated with networks in particular. Both books deal with the unpredictable nature of an increasingly connected world, and as a business owner running a small enterprise in that world I found them entertaining and educational. In fact, they forced me to re-evaluate our strategy at Paleo Treats and the way we're using our networks. In this interview we dive into the important points of a network, the difference between complex and complicated systems, what topology is and why it matters, and how emergent properties of networks are inevitable. I asked him how he curates and uses his curiosity, and he talked about his main theme in The Seventh Sense that “connection changes the nature of an object.” We do dive briefly into some flying stuff and how flying may move from unnatural to natural as you become a better pilot, but the majority of this interview deals with networks and how to understand and explore them in this incredibly connected world. Joshua talks about the importance of figuring out what tools you need in order to understand and investigate a problem. He places the conversation in the context of historical cycles, the enduring nature of art, and the best kind of adventure you can have. Enjoy the show! Books Mentioned -No Visible Horizon -The Age of the Unthinkable -The Seventh Sense -Fate is the Hunter -China's Wings -The Rational Optimist For each podcast I do I end up writing a bunch of notes and questions. While I don't always ask the questions, it's helpful to have them written down and reviewed before the show. Here are my notes for this interview: -You're a searcher, a seeker, and a story teller. Tell me about that. -in Age if the Unthinkable you talk about the importance of relationships. You seem very well connected to a number of different cohorts. How did your learning of Chinese culture influence that? Is there anything more important than building relationships when it comes to getting things done? (Planning to be Dan Kaminsky) -connection changes the nature of an object. What does that mean? -how are the fourth revolution & the seventh sense tied together? -how do we cultivate the 7th sense? -Clausewitz noted, “Many intelligence reports in war are contradictory; even more are false, and most are uncertain. . . . In short, most intelligence is false.” How are you assessing a network accurately? -in Age of the Unthinkable you talk about the spymaster Farkash asking questions no one else asked and being amazed that Israel's actions had forced the enemy to evolve. This evolution of both sides seems like a fundamental part of struggle. Is anyone asking “How do we force our enemy to *devolve*?” Examples of it working? -how many languages do you speak or you speak or understand? Is it worth it to learn another language, or is there a universal language of networks? The standard visualization of a network is as a fish net, however, that is not what it might look like. When you talk about topology there is a deceptive notion that these things can be understood in nearly 3 dimensions. How else can someone visualize what a network might physically look like? Or does this require a new skill of four dimensional visualization? -can you talk a little about how blockchain ties together multiple networks (financial, legal, social?) -do we need to change to a network system without fallible leaders? Our current leaders seem unable to solve problems for which there are fairly clear solutions. -how would you befriend a network? Can you be friends with a network? -how would you addict a network? -assessing trust in a network? -assessing quality of expertise in the network? use past predictions? -let's talk about topology & networks. As I understand it, topology basically refers to the way networks can be thought of in terms of connection time between nodes, regardless of physical distance. If topology is 2 dimensional, is there a way to understand how a 3rd dimension would apply? -how can we find the edge of a network so we can “shake the blanket” and cause change? Is it possible? -a group of almost successful (or even unsuccessful) people is far more powerful than a single lucky person; do networks remove the filter of luck, or offset the capriciousness of chance? -how does a small business use the seventh sense? practical example? BACKGROUND Dad is a cardiologist being outdated/outgunned by Google search Mom is a high powered lawyer who wrote about the power of systems (specifically applied to law offices) -aerobatic pilot, No Visible Horizon -started as a journalist, a story teller in '93 at Newsweek -Time magazine in '96, hired by Walter Isaacson, the guy who wrote biographies about Steve Jobs, Ben Franklin, Albert Einstein, and Henry Kissinger -oversaw Time's digital operations while covering tech; has been pursuing this idea of tech & networks for a long time -moved to Beijing in 2002 & worked with John Thornton, former president of Goldman Sachs -from '03-until now he's worked at Kissinger Associates, where he's currently co-CEO -fluent in Mandarin (and Spanish?) NOTES FROM OTHER INTERVIEWS HE'S DONE -how do we expand the network? -the sixth sense is a feeling for history -the seventh sense is a feeling for being enmeshed in networks -what happened in 1848? Massive backlashes? Industrial Revolution IDEAS SPARKED -if I wanted to build my own network, how would I use the concepts in the book? -AI + social media posts? to what end? What is the goal? Maximum engaged followers. What is engaged? Contributing useful content. Can I define useful? Content that triggers conversations or additions to the convo like pictures or video How can I let the Paleo Treats audience connect with each other and find their friends who are already in the network? What is our network strategy? And email centered around the idea of “Who can I introduce you to?” PODCASTING EQUIPMENT USED FOR THIS EPISODE Finally, I love the technical geekery of podcasting and am psyched on spreading the word. Here's the equipment I use to make mine: Mackie Onyx 1220i mixer ProAudioLA cables ElectroVoice RE20 Fethead inline preamp AKG K-240 headphones U-Control UCA222 splitter for Skype Avantone Mixcube Reaper DAW
An interlude - Living the bad dream - Microphone update I interrupt the regular programming for a rant. Dreams can sometimes make more sense than reality. At least one can escape a dream. :) But on a good note, I finally got motivated to really check what I’ve got and see if I really did get the best out of my gear. Which of course I didn’t. Microphone trouble taken care of. I got looking into all of this thanks to a new, for me, youtube channel. Check out Booth junkie if you want to get the best out of your voice and your gear when working with voice over. It’s not the same thing as singing btw. :) Mentions: Although I regret not mentioning this in the podcast, here is Mike, The ultimate Booth Junkie on Youtube. My gear: heading level 1 Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB Cardioid Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone on amazon The MXL 771 Condenser microphone on amazon. the studio Projects VTB-1 on SoundOnSound. The Mackie Onyx 820i on SoundOnSound. Never look up, never look back, never ever ever grow up. Now, if you want to go crazy like me, you should start a podcast. Here’s a good place to start that insane project of yours: Join the School of Podcasting with Dave Jackson. Nope, not an affiliate of anything mentioned and certainly not of amazon. I just happen to be lazy and that is where i bought my microphones. JennyK and Imp - Making things happen in odd ways since 2010. Roll of toilet paper
Surprise! Did we kidnap the Larry Bird of podcasting in a bizarre re-enacting of the bad movie, Celtic Pride? Of course not. We’re too lazy. Dan Benjamin joined us to chat about his love of radio, setting the right expectations for your podcast and making better podcasts for listeners. Dan thinks Paul sounds really great. It must be that DBX pre-amp & the Onyx 1620i Paul purchased from multiple 5by5 network garage sales. Dan usually shares his experience with gear and production on his show Podcast Method. Dan loves the surprise of live shows, as in his show with Merlin Mann, Back to Work. Our guest remembers reading that Leo Laporte was making a million dollars podcasting and thought, “Surely I can make enough to pay my bills if I work really, really hard.” Advice from Dan to us & someone he met at the 2015 Podcast Movement, Make one really good show, first. Then, maybe try another. No need to start a network from the get-go. Celebrity podcasts are going to be the moneymakers and have the largest audiences. If you’re not Tim Ferriss or Bill Simmons, do what you love and find a niche. Even though Dan Patrick has been very successful, would he be where he is today without getting exposure & connections at ESPN? The best model to grow your audience? Here you go. Product Hunt is now curating podcasts. Speaking of discovery of podcasts, Spotify has a podcast section and Google Play Music will be hosting as well. Human curated lists work well, see Apple Music (just for curation, the interface is terrible). We’re very thankful Dan made time to talk to us. We were able to catch him before he did episode #151 of Amplified with Jim Dalrymple. So grateful we had the chance to talk to Dan Benjamin. Thanks Dan! Thanks to you for listening and be sure to check out Dan on twitter, his network 5by5 and all the cool things he makes. Feel like supporting the show?

Paul & Chris sit down and chat about central vacuum and avocados! What more could you want from a host-full show? Well, surprise guest Tina pops in to talk delicious cookies & not-so delicious undercooked cheeseburgers. Chris is excited for the next episode with author Marty Chan. A last minute shot in the dark, Chris attempted to get Adam Dachis from Supercharched as this episode’s guest. However, he’s hoping to schedule Adam and Darren Herczeg for a future Film Frown. Paul asks about Chris’ latest writing gig, Lost Highway. Chris was also lucky enough to have an article posted on the arkOS blog. Glen Fleishman’s The New Disruptors is an excellent podcast. In particular, they discuss the episode featuring Nicole Dieker where she talked briefly about working for CrowdSource. Discussing the terror of possibly offending a movie star hero during your bad movie podcast. Here’s the show in question. Here’s a recap. Panasonic, why you no have Ernie Reyes Jr. kick your Toughbook & Toughpad around in commercials? We’d buy one then. IF IT COULD SURVIVE HIS MARTIAL ARTS! The ridiculous 3D music video for Edmonton’s Brewery District development. (Turn off your speakers unless you want to hear synth trombones. In fact, do not watch this at all.) Paul enjoys listening to the podcast Core Intuition. Paul wants to incorporate Searchpath into the new site to hosts our podcasts. He currently bakes pies when he uploads these notes and podcasts? WHA? A backstage look at how Paul publishes and hosts the podcasts. Chris has been editing images for episcura.com. So, if you need seamless textures or HDRI, check it out. The fellas discuss using tags and how John Gruber uses tags. Patent trolls 101 and The Temple of Gloom. Chris shares a review of Sony’s Powers. Only available on PS4? REALLY? Rory from Doctor Who is in CW’s new Legends of Tomorrow. The kids need a GyroBowl! Paul loves the “fabulous central vacuum.” Skype boxes built from Raspberry Pis? Why not. The Wolfson Audio Card might be a decent audio solution. Paul’s audio mixer used for the show, Mackie Onyx 1640i. Dan Benjamin now suggests some Focusrite products for podcasting in his show Podcast Method. Thanks for listening to our host-full show. It was a lot of fun for us to catch up with each other instead of getting to know a rad guest. It’s a bit of a throwback episode; we hope you enjoyed it. Support Montreal Sauce on Patreon

How is The Walking Dead like Dukes of Hazard? How many impressions can Chris do? Are we podcasting in diapers? Find out in Episode 11 of Montreal Sauce! Podcast tech Chris wants for x-mas. Please reptillian Space Pope, please! Of course, Chris doesn’t need it because Paul has nabbed a Mackie Onyx 820i to mix the show and produce all the fart noise we need. Why are the boys talking about Dogecoin again? The hip new thing is Solarcoin! Oops, Mt. Gox has had some issues with Bitcoin. Jonathan has given Chris a foolproof way to purchase things anonymously. Netflix & Comcast striking a deal and you’ve surely seen the cries of foul. You can read more technical and legal jargon at the eff.org. Silicon Valley wants to be its own state? U.S. Olympic hockey did not bring home the gold and Paul thinks it is time to go back to the amateur competitors. It’s a great segue to a documentary about college sports called Schooled. Chris decided to try StarTrekonline.com and quickly became a Lieutenant. By quickly, he means after hours of downloads and updates. Helix is all about asking questions. Will they ever be answered or are we Lost? The fellows are let down by the fact that Agent Coulson is simply Agent Coulson in Disney’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Torchwood “Miracle Day” is season 4 of the Doctor Who spin off that both Chris & Paul missed. Forget analyzing shows using the characters from the original Star Trek. Chris is now going to use the characters from The Dukes of Hazzard. Paul hints that the Doctor Who creators may try to explain why we’ve seen the 12th Doctor’s face (the same actor) in a 10th Doctor episode and Torchwood. Guardians of the Galaxy trailer is out and Chris & Paul don’t know a thing about it. Godzilla trailer has premiered as well. Here comes the fade to blacks and ominous music. Make Believe is a fun documentary following some teens aspiring to become magicians. If you like magic, Deceptive Practices covers some of its history. Unfortunately, Ricky Jay really likes himself and Chris wasn’t impressed. Orphan Black returns on April 19th. Paul hopes to watch season 1 and catch up. Hey! My screen went to sleep! WiggleMouse to the rescue. Raising money to buy a burrito via Kickstarter. Chris defiles the show with a discussion on gas. Here’s some more Fart Facts. Support Montreal Sauce on Patreon

Firedog Studios Music Tech series presents a microphone demonstration to showcase several examples of microphones on a single sound source. We used a Taylor 314 series acoustic guitar. The microphones are a Shure SM 57, Shure BG-4.0, Blue Dragonfly, Cascade Fat Head. Our signal chain was a Mackie Onyx preamp through a UA-1176 compressor into Pro tools HD. The demo is for students to review the sounds and discuss the differences they hear.
