Podcast appearances and mentions of Margot Lee Shetterly

Oggi parliamo di storia con Il diritto di contare, il film ispirato all'omonimo libro di Margot Lee Shetterly; il racconto della straordinaria vicenda di Katherine Johnson, la matematica e fisica afroamericana che calcolò le traiettorie per il Programma Mercury della NASA e la storica missione dell'Apollo 11. Una storia di progresso, tecnologico e sociale, che ripercorre la corsa dell'uomo per la Luna, dal punto di vista di chi è sempre rimasto nell'ombra. Un film sulla lotta per la libertà che racconta di una società troppo concentrata a guardare verso le stelle, per rendersi conto delle persone che sta schiacciando.

Kim Marsh and Alice Nagle from Fetch the Smelling Salts podcast join Flixwatcher to review Kim's choice Hidden Figures. Hidden Figures (2016) is loosely based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Margot Lee Shetterly. It tells the incredible true story of the biographies of three African-American women who worked as computers to solve problems for engineers and others at NASA. Directed by Theodore Melfi it stars Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Goble Johnson, Octavia Spencer as Dorothy Vaughan and Janelle Monáe as Mary Jackson. Other real life character include Mahershala Ali as Jim Johnson, who marries Katherine and Glen Powell as astronaut John Glenn. In fictional roles it also stars Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst and Jim Parsons. Hidden Figures shines a light on the impressive work done by women of colour in behind the scenes roles. However, there are a number of fictional scenes and several inaccuracies, some that lean into the white saviour trope. Recommendability scores were very favourable despite the historical inaccuracies. Fairly solid scores across the remaining categories give a very respectable score of 4.34 overall.

On November 3, 1979, as activist Nelson Johnson assembled people for a march adjacent to Morningside Homes in Greensboro, North Carolina, gunshots rang out. A caravan of Klansmen and Neo-Nazis sped from the scene, leaving behind five dead. Known as the "Greensboro Massacre," the event and its aftermath encapsulate the racial conflict, economic anxiety, clash of ideologies, and toxic mix of corruption and conspiracy that roiled American democracy then--and threaten it today. In 88 seconds, one Southern city shattered over irreconcilable visions of America's past and future. When the shooters are acquitted in the courts, Reverend Johnson, his wife Joyce, and their allies, at odds with the police and the Greensboro establishment, sought alternative forms of justice. As the Johnsons rebuilt their lives after 1979, they found inspiration in Nelson Mandela's post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Martin Luther King Jr's concept of Beloved Community and insist that only by facing history's hardest truths can healing come to the city they refuse to give up on. This intimate, deeply researched, and heart-stopping account draws upon survivor interviews, court documents, and the files from one of the largest investigations in FBI history. The persistent mysteries of the case touch deep cultural insecurities and contradictions about race and class. A quintessentially American story, Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre and the Struggle for an American City's Soul (Amistad, 2024) explores the courage required to make change and the evolving pursuit of a more inclusive and equal future.

The United States Congress has honored four women known as the “hidden figures” of the space race with its highest civilian award. 美国国会向四位被称为太空竞赛“隐藏人物”的女性颁发了最高平民奖。 The Congressional Gold Medal was presented Wednesday to the families of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson and Christine Darden at the U.S. Capitol. Only Darden is still living. The 82-year-old watched the ceremony from her Connecticut home. 周三，国会金质奖章在美国国会大厦颁发给了凯瑟琳·约翰逊、多萝西·沃恩、玛丽·杰克逊和克里斯汀·达登的家人。只有达顿还活着。这位 82 岁的老人在康涅狄格州的家中观看了仪式。Lawmakers recognized the four Black mathematicians for their critical work early in the space program. 立法者认可了四位黑人数学家在太空计划早期所做的关键工作。 They also presented a medal to all the women who worked as mathematicians, engineers and "human computers" in the American space program from the 1930s to 1970s. 他们还向 20 世纪 30 年代至 1970 年代在美国太空计划中担任数学家、工程师和“人类计算机”的所有女性颁发了一枚奖章。 Margot Lee Shetterly wrote the 2016 book Hidden Figures about the Black women mathematicians who supported the space program in the 1960s. It was made into a movie of the same name in 2017. 玛格特·李·谢特利 (Margot Lee Shetterly) 于 2016 年撰写了《隐藏人物》一书，讲述了 20 世纪 60 年代支持太空计划的黑人女数学家的故事。2017年被拍成同名电影。 "By honoring them, we honor the very best of our country's spirit," Shetterly said at the ceremony. 谢特利在仪式上说：“通过向他们致敬，我们就是向我们国家最优秀的精神致敬。”The early space program employed hundreds of women to work as mathematicians at what is now NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia. But, the Black mathematicians were not permitted to work with the white mathematicians because of racial separation policies at the time. The Black researchers' work went unrecognized for years. 早期的太空计划雇用了数百名女性在现在的弗吉尼亚州美国宇航局兰利研究中心担任数学家。但是，由于当时的种族隔离政策，黑人数学家不被允许与白人数学家一起工作。黑人研究人员的工作多年来一直没有得到认可。 The team used pencils, slide rulers and mechanical calculating machines to calculate the paths of rockets and orbiters in the atmosphere and in space. The path is called the trajectory. 该团队使用铅笔、滑尺和机械计算机来计算火箭和轨道飞行器在大气层和太空中的路径。该路径称为轨迹。 “Our office computed all the trajectories,” Katherine Johnson told The Virginian-Pilot newspaper in 2012. “You tell me when and where you want it to come down, and I will tell you where and when and how to launch it,” she explained. “我们的办公室计算了所有的轨迹，”凯瑟琳·约翰逊在 2012 年告诉《弗吉尼亚飞行员报》。“你告诉我你希望它在何时何地降落，我会告诉你在哪里、何时以及如何发射它，”她 解释道。In 1961, Johnson did trajectory research for the Freedom 7 Mission, the first to carry an American into space. The next year, she checked the calculations made by a new NASA computer for astronaut John Glenn's planned orbits around the planet. 1961 年，约翰逊为自由 7 号任务进行了轨迹研究，这是第一次将美国人送入太空。第二年，她检查了美国宇航局一台新计算机对宇航员约翰·格伦计划绕地球轨道进行的计算。 John Glenn did not trust the new computer. Days before the launch, he told NASA, “Get the girl to check the numbers.” John Glenn become the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962. 约翰·格伦不信任这台新计算机。发射前几天，他告诉美国宇航局，“让女孩检查一下数字。” 1962 年，约翰·格伦 (John Glenn) 成为第一个绕地球轨道飞行的美国人。 Johnson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 – the nation's highest civilian honor. Her work at NASA helped open doors for many other women to take part in the space program. 约翰逊于 2015 年被授予总统自由勋章——美国公民的最高荣誉。她在美国宇航局的工作为许多其他女性参与太空计划打开了大门。 Dorothy Vaughan rose to become NASA's first Black female supervisor. Mary Jackson was NASA's first Black female engineer. And Christine Darden is best known for her sonic boom research. 多萝西·沃恩 (Dorothy Vaughan) 成为美国宇航局第一位黑人女主管。玛丽·杰克逊是美国宇航局第一位黑人女工程师。克里斯汀·达顿 (Christine Darden) 因其音爆研究而闻名。

Margot Lee Shetterly used to be an investment banker, a business owner and a content marketing and editorial consultant. Now she's the author of the number-one New York Times bestseller "Hidden Figures," which chronicles the challenges and contributions of the Black women who worked at NASA from the 1930s through the 1960s. In this episode of ReThinking with Adam Grant, another episode from the TED Audio Collective, Margot and Adam talk about the process of finding and researching the story behind 'Hidden Figures," how to navigate career transitions and why reframing familiar tales creates more complex and compelling narratives. Transcripts for ReThinking are available at go.ted.com/RWAGscripts

This week, Professor Mar Hicks of UVA's School of Data Science and Margot Lee Shetterly, author of "Hidden Figures," join host Ken Ono to discuss the remarkable women whose contributions to STEM have been forgotten--from biologists to code-breakers to the "human computers" whose computations helped America win the Space Race. That's why they're announcing the launch of the Human Computer Project Census--an effort to document the names and stories of NASA's human computers. And they're looking for students and faculty to help. Participants will collect oral and recorded history, search through archives, and review primary and secondary sources to recover the names and biographies of the women who worked at NASA from 1935 to 1980. The deadline to apply for this paid internship is Monday, March 11th, 2024. The internship starts in early June. The application can be found here.

A számolás joga (2016) című film a matematikai zsenialitás és a társadalmi elfogadás témáját járja körül – részben valós történeteken keresztül, de torzítva a valóságot. A történet középpontjában a NASA-nál dolgozó afroamerikai matematikusnők állnak, köztük Katherine Johnson, aki a Mercury-programban végzett számításokat az űrverseny idején. Műsorunkban felfedjük a film valóságtartalmát és megvitatjuk a társadalmi realitását a Margot Lee Shetterly azonos című kényvéből készült alkotásnak. https://parallaxis.blog.hu/2023/12/01/parapod_ep98 https://youtu.be/RQ67QUYbWWo A Parallaxis Patreon oldalán támogatóink számára még a premier előtt elérhetővé tesszük podcastjeink legújabb epizódját! https://www.patreon.com/parallaxis Podcastjeink epizódjai elérhetőek Facebookon, Soundcloud- és YouTube-csatornánkon, valamint Google Podcasts-en, iTunes-on és Spotify-on is!

LONDRA (ITALPRESS) - Si intitola “Timeless" il Calendario Pirelli 2024, presentato a Londra, in cui il visual artist ghanese Prince Gyasi ha immortalato le figure per lui capaci di imprimere un segno destinato a restare e di ispirare le generazioni future. Si tratta della cinquantesima edizione dei sessanta anni di storia di "The Cal", dal 1964 al 2024, tenuto conto degli anni in cui non è stato pubblicato. Gyasi stesso si è dedicato un mese dal titolo “Details”. L'immagine scelta per la copertina e per uno dei mesi rappresenta invece lo “Studious”, un giovane Gyasi interpretato dal piccolo modello Abul Faid Yussif. Sullo sfondo di un vivido turchese, Yussif è ritratto mentre gioca con versioni in miniatura di alcuni degli oggetti che ritroviamo nelle pagine del Calendario: una chiave tenuta in mano da Angela Bassett; pezzi di un orologio provenienti dalla scenografia di Naomi Campbell; scale rosa su cui sale Amanda Gorman; una valigia azzurra trasportata dall'attore, regista, DJ e produttore Idris Elba, “Man of Honour”. Uno dei protagonisti del Calendario è Sua Maestà Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Re dello storico Impero Ashanti dell'Africa occidentale, ritratto al Manhyia Palace insieme alla sua delegazione reale, con il titolo “Royalty”. L'attrice statunitense Angela Bassett rappresenta “Altruistic”; la scrittrice Margot Lee Shetterly e la poetessa Amanda Gorman sono “The Blueprint”; e l'artista contemporaneo ghanese Amoako Boafo è “The Chosen One”.

It's a pretty inspirational story of women overcoming a lot of prejudice and hardship to help with a major scientific event in American history. Jay got the opportunity to see a classic Bruce Lee movie at his local theater. Enter the Dragon was a significant film in the actor's short, tragic career. And it was a fun one to watch too! Enjoy Movies!  Bruce Willis rocketed to stardom after starring in Die Hard during the summer of 1988. Directed by John McTiernan, this successful story got the everyman-action-hero genre going too. And it was the first film for the legendary icon Alan Rickman. That's right. His very first movie!    It had a ton of other great actors too, like Bonnie Bedelia, Reginald VelJohnson, William Atherton and more. The sequels were popular and have fans opinions mixed on what the better ones are, but everyone can agree the original is incredible.

Margot Lee Shetterly is a non-fiction writer. Her book, Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Who Helped Win the Space Race, tells the story of African-American women mathematicians who helped provide NASA with the raw computing power it needed to dominate the heavens. After a career in investment banking and media, Margot moved to Mexico with her husband and founded Inside Mexico, an English-language magazine, while writing Hidden Figures. In addition to her work as an author, Margot is the founder of The Human Computer Project, an endeavor dedicated to recovering the names and accomplishments of all of the women who worked as computers, mathematicians, scientists and engineers at NACA and NASA from the 1930s through the 1980s.Today, you'll hear about Margot's journey in writing Hidden Figures. She describes her childhood in Hampton, Virginia, growing up surrounded by engineers and scientists and shares her experience witnessing the 9/11 attacks while living in New York City. She explains how she happened upon the book idea and how her awareness of the women in Hidden Figures—Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson—came to the fore. She discusses the importance of having an objective view from the outside and how living in Mexico allowed her to write Hidden Figures. You'll also gain insight on Margot's experiences writing Hidden Figures—from interviewing Katherine Johnson to getting the book published—and hear her advice for young people at the early stages of their careers.“The advances that allow us to get on an airplane—without thinking that it'll take off, fly, and land safely—happened because these women and their colleagues were doing the numbers for decades.” - Margot Lee ShetterlyThis week on Kathy Sullivan Explores:   •   Margot's background and life growing up in Hampton, Virginia   •   Her interest in business at a young age and path to investment banking   •   A brief history of NASA   •   Margot's interest in business at a young age and her path to investment banking   •   Her life in New York and her experience in foreign exchange trading, Meryll Lynch, and start-ups   •   Her adventures founding a magazine in Mexico with her husband   •   How living in Mexico allowed Margot the space to write Hidden Figures   •   What inspired the idea behind Hidden Figures and how Margot began writing the story   •   How interviewing mathematician Katherine Johnson led Margot to Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and the other Black computers at NASA's West Area   •   How long it took Margot to finish writing Hidden Figures   •   The two kinds of writers and why Margot is a combination of both   •   Historical accuracy of the film Hidden Figures and how similar it is to Margot's book   •   The process of creating a book proposal and why it's similar to forming a business plan   •   What Margot wanted to show through her book Hidden Figures   •   Margot's favorite travel destinations and travel bucket list   •   Her current book project and the joys of writing Hidden FiguresResources Mentioned:   •   NASA Johnson Space Center Oral History Project   •   NASA History Division - Oral History   •   Book: They Made America: From the Steam Engine to the Search Engine: Two Centuries of Innovators by Harold EvansOur Favorite Quotes:   •   “The thing about a book proposal is that it's a business plan.

More than half a century after NASA launched astronauts into space, you'd think all the stories about these groundbreaking missions had been told.But they hadn't.Margot Lee Shetterly's father worked at NASA, and the stories of the women of NASA were commonplace among the local community, but the world was yet to know the incredible true story of the African-American female mathematicians, and how integral their work was to the space race.Lee Shetterly's book, Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Who Helped Win the Space Race, was optioned for a film even before she finished writing it, and told the stories of four African-American women. Katherine Johnson (1918-2020)Dorothy Vaughan (1910-2008)Mary Jackson (1921-2005)Christine Darden (1942- )While only three of those women's experiences made it into the movie, the story (while containing a few embellishments) is a remarkable one of hard work, grit and determination, set against the backdrop of racially and gender segregated America.I would love to hear your thoughts on Hidden Figures !CONTACT....

Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Who Helped Win the Space Race is a 2016 nonfiction book written by Margot Lee Shetterly. Shetterly started working on the book in 2010. The book takes place from the 1930s through the 1960s when some viewed women as inferior to men. The biographical text follows the lives of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson, three mathematicians who worked as computers (then a job description) at NASA, during the space race. They overcame discrimination there, as women and as African Americans. Also featured is Christine Darden, who was the first African-American woman to be promoted into the Senior Executive Service for her work in researching supersonic flight and sonic booms.

In deze uitzending van ons filmprogramma bespreken we de film Hidden Figures, een Amerikaanse biografische film uit 2016, gebaseerd op het gelijknamige boek van Margot Lee Shetterly.

We continue our Movie Magic theme with a popular movie choice: Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly. There were some unexpected differences between the book and movie which left both of us with feelings.You can support BBE at patreon.com/bigbookenergy or through our bookstore at bookshop.org/shop/BigBookEnergy Support the show (https://patreon.com/BigBookEnergy?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=creatorshare)

La storia è vera ed è quella della matematica afroamericana Katherine Johnson e delle sue colleghe, Dorothy Vaughan, supervisore non ufficiale, e Mary Jackson, aspirante ingegnere, che alla Nasa dagli anni 60 contribuirono a calcolare le traiettorie dei voli spaziali e a smantellare uno status quo fatto di segregazione raziale e discriminazione di genere. I modi sono quelli del regista Theodore Melfi, capace di trasformare il bestseller di Margot Lee Shetterly in un film da Oscar – con qualche libera concessione. Anche di queste ultime Guida galattica per gli audiostoppisti parla con Francesca Baraghini, premio “Telegiornalista del 2018”, volto di Sky Tg24 e del Tg8 .

Andrea and Megan bow to these mathematical goddesses and discuss human computers, super fan Martin Luther King Jr., and why Andrea will never work in science again in Margot Lee Shetterly’s Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race.

“Reads like an August Wilson play.” Chatter alums Tope Folarin and Chuck Culpepper join David and Torie on Zoom.  David starts with “the” NFL team name change.  Tope reflects on how BLM impacts his work.  Chuck reminisces about Arthur Ashe.  Torie rants about the Bolton book.  And Margot Lee Shetterly delights with the back stories on bringing to the world’s attention the remarkable women who helped America dominate space.

Emlyn tells Emma all about Katherine Johnson, the mathematician whose complex calculations of orbital mechanics were essential for sending astronauts safely into space.

In this episode, we look at Margot Lee Shetterly's book Hidden Figures following the death of NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, and we also ask if Hilary Mantel can win a third Booker Prize with her latest Tudor-era novel about Thomas Cromwell. Plus we remember adventure author Clive Cussler.

Gregory Kennedy is the Director of Operations at W(e)IRD World (Wild Idea Research & Development at weirdworld.xyz). They support global charitable initiatives focused on some of society’s most urgent challenges such as food insecurity, sustainable development, and climate change.Gregory and WIRD work with people who want to do good for themselves, for their communities and around the world.For the past 15 years he has been developing and producing media, technology and education projects utilizing mindfulness-based solutions to social and environmental issues.Gregory sees his role as a mentor and mentee who finds ways to include all the people together to serve their best roles in what he calls a Mosaic of people. He believes that Kindness is a superior business model that, within set parameters, can scale better than competitiveness, frustration, pettiness, regret, revenge, merit (whatever that means) or apathy.In this conversation we talk about being a model of the world we want to live in. We unpack race relations and overcoming prejudice by being exposed to one another. We discuss blockchain as a way of creating trust when there isn't trust. We reflect on how the philosophy and proliferation of nonviolence has changed the world. We also bond about the perspective that's gained by living abroad and seeing how other people live, and then being able to look back at the United States and current political trends from an outside perspective. And get really deep into sports as an analogy for politics. The take home is: Don’t get overconfident, don’t think that any win is an absolute win, and always try to play a better game.Gregory Kennedy ResourcesW(e)IRD World is co-founded by Gregory. Their mission is to “Increase people’s capacity for empathy, both online and offline.” One of W(e)IRD World's first creations is Undiscovered Stories:You can play Undiscovered Stories, “The Learn and Earn” blockchain Trivia Game, earn UDGT tokens, learn about the achievements and contributions of girls and women in a variety of fields throughout history (like Katherine Coleman Goble Johnson (see: below)), and support girls and women-led initiatives by going here: https://undiscoveredstory.com. To learn more about Undiscovered Story, here is an FAQ, a Medium article and a podcast.Blockchain:Among many other things, Gregory is a Blockchain architect and consultant. Blockchain is a distributed, decentralized, public ledger. At its most basic level, blockchain is literally just a chain of blocks, where the “block” is digital information stored in a “chain” (a public database). Gregory and I talk about it as a way to create trust without trust, by using community support and transparency.Learn more about blockchain with this article “Blockchain Explained” on Investopedia, or this video “What is BLOCKCHAIN?” created by the Centre of International Governance Innovation. If you want to go down the nerdier rabbit hole, 3blue1brown has made this amazing video: “But how does bitcoin actually work?” I highly recommend 3blue1brown for anyone wanting complex math explained in interesting and understandable ways. Here is Gregory's Medium page, which includes these articles: “Stake Your Reputation Protocol (SYRP) — For a P2P Economy” and “Free Social Benefit Coins. A Blockchain, Crypto, Sharable Prosperity, Giftivism based Airdrop idea.”Other resources:Here are some of the people and things we discussed in the episode:Ed Dwight: the man set to be the first black astronaut in the 1960s, but racism got in the way (Learn about him here on this podcast and article from the New York Times). He later became an artist. Here you can find Dwight's his art.Hidden Figures is a movie about a black female mathematicians who worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) during the Space Race.The movie is based on the book: Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly, and features the story of the badass mathematician Katherine Coleman Goble Johnson. Watch the trailer here.“Kindness scales. It scales better than competitiveness, frustration, pettiness, regret, revenge, merit (whatever that means) or apathy.Kindness ratchets up. It leads to more kindness. It can create trust and openness and truth and enthusiasm and patience and possibility.Kindness, in one word, is a business model, an approach to strangers and a platform for growth.It might take more effort than you were hoping it would, but it's worth it.- Seth GodinJane Goodall's project, Roots and Shoots, is one of Gregory's favorite that he has supportedNonviolence ResourcesLearn more here about Thich Nhat Hanh here at the Plum Village website. Also check out this amazing video of him that I believe captures what the power of nonviolent force looks like:Gregory tells the story about how Alfred Hassler of FOR (Fellowship of Reconciliation) introduced Thich Nhat Hanh to nonviolent strategy. For a deep dive into the branching history of nonviolence I recommend OZY's The Thread “Season 3: A History of Nonviolence.” This podcast series tracing the history of Nonviolence From Colin Kapernick to Dr. King and FOR veteran, Bayard Rustin, through Gandhi and Tolstoy all the way back to a ship captain's son’s friendship with a slave.A Force More Powerful is the classic documentary series about power of nonviolence: You can watch Part 1 and Part 2Research by Erica Chenoweth "suggests that nonviolent civil resistance is far more successful in creating broad-based change than violent campaigns are."Here's her Article in The Harvard Gazette "Nonviolent resistance proves potent weapon"Here's her TED TalkHere's info about her book Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent ConflictGregory was part of making The 5 Powers movie.The 5 Powers is a moving fusion of documentary footage, historic montage and vivid animation that send a powerful message of peace. Using modern technology and dramatic storytelling, the film focuses on three true heroes and their nonviolent re-solution of conflict through a mind-ful, compassionate approach. As the film tells the story of seemingly unstoppable violence, it also communicates an ultimate truth. There is no good or bad, no white or black. This ultimate truth has the power to unite us.You can buy or rent The 5 Powers here.MusicThe music in this episode is “Peace is the Way,” aPlum Village Song, sung by Sister Jewel with Lyrics by Thich Nhat Hanh.

There are almost 30 Amazon reviews. Marc will be in New Jersey, and Erie, Pennsylvania, the week of September 29th and D.C., the following week. Marc would love to meet his readers and listeners. [3:54] Marc has four events planned for New Jersey and Pennsylvania and a meet-and-greet in D.C.. Please go to CareerPivot.com/launch to find out more. [4:10] Marc has yet to decide on the subject of next week’s podcast episode will be. It will likely be an interview Marc had with Mark Anthony Dyson on The Voice of Jobseekers podcast, but depending on how things go, it could be something different. [4:28] This week, Marc interviews Paul Vogelzang, a career pivoter who, after being laid off from one of the big tech giants in his late 50s, is now a successful podcaster. Paul has The Not Old — Better Show, on which Marc has guested, twice. Mar gives an introduction for Paul and welcomes him to the Repurpose Your Career podcast. [6:24] Marc and Paul are fans of each others’ work. Paul has worked in the private sector, technology, healthcare technology, and in the government. His passion is in the area of communications. All along the way, he has held communications roles. Now, in his ‘second act,’ he is doing communications again. [7:39] Paul is the host, editor, and ‘chief cook and bottle washer’ of The Not Old – Better Show. Paul is grateful for the chance to talk to many people and learn from guests that have done interesting things. Paul has always been excited about learning. Paul continues to do communications work for the federal government. [8:27] Paul hosts podcasts for The Smithsonian, the National Institutes of Health, NASA, and has done some work for the Department of Defense. [8:40] Paul’s work focuses on telling stories. Paul is passionate about helping other people share information about what they’ve done, how they’ve done it, and where they’re going. [9:04] Paul is a multipotentialite. Marc is one, too. Marc has a blog post on multipotentialites. Marc has tended to change career areas every three years. [9:51] Paul explains how he became a podcaster. In 2004, Paul was the producer of Mommycast, the very first mom podcast. Paul’s wife, Gretchen and her friend, Paige Heninger, the co-hosts. [10:36] Paige and Gretchen had a lot of success telling stories to moms and families. They had a lot of wonderful guests. The podcast lasted about seven years. Paul worked, full-time in the federal government while he produced the podcast, part-time. [11:11] Paul eventually moved into the private sector, working for a large technology company. Paul refuses to give them publicity here. He was laid off at age 58. He desperately needed to do a career pivot, to use Marc’s term. Paul decided he was going to continue to work in technology, in communications. [12:08] The company that laid Paul off had a significant outplacement service. Paul went on close to 100 interviews but never was offered a position. Technology was booming in the D.C. area where Paul lives, but in 2015, no one was looking for workers with his experience. [13:09] Paul had a lot of energy to put to work. He had a lot of interests and personal, career, and financial goals. He was not in a position to retire. He enjoys working and he needed to continue. [13:39] Paul started writing on LinkedIn. Some of the things Paul was writing about his interview process got a lot of reactions. Paul would return optimistic from an interview with ‘a great young person’ and then hear nothing. So, he wrote about it. As his writing took off, he decided to return to podcasting, this time, as the host. [14:58] He planned to talk to some of the people who had written back to him about their stories of applying for jobs and finding the technology sector was unusually harsh for those of us over the age of 55. Some of the stories were gut-wrenching. This is what Paul turned into The Not Old — Better Show. [15:38] As Paul developed the show, he started talking to authors and to people in the entertainment sector. He did some occasional work for the federal government that led to some introductions to government agencies for which he now produces podcasts. It has been a circuitous path with a lot of support from others. He wants to give support. [16:41] After more than four years, The Not Old — Better Show is doing great! Paul has had a lot of fun, and he has a lot more to do. [16:58] As a former federal employee, Paul enjoys supporting government agencies tell really great stories with their podcasts. Paul shares how he worked with guest interviews on NASA’s story of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo Moon Shot. Most of Paul’s audience is of an age to appreciate these stories from the past. [18:26] The Smithsonian offers programs throughout the United States, along with the National Park Service and others. Paul explains some of the work he does with experts, authors, scientists, and others about their work for the Smithsonian Institution. Paul believes those are really important stories. [19:13] Paul talks about the podcasts he does for the National Institutes for Health and the National Institute on Aging, which are related to physical and mental fitness in the years over age 55. [19:43] Paul posts his podcasts everywhere his audience is found. His podcasts are on Next Avenue, and podcast directories like iTunes and Google Play, Soundcloud, Mixcloud, and even Facebook and LinkedIn, depending on the topic of the show. [21:15] Marc takes a moment to talk about the Career Pivot Membership Community, which continues to help the approximately 50 members who are participating in the beta phase of this project to grow and thrive. [21:36] Marc shares a testimonial from Vickie: “The Career Pivot Community has been a strong support system for me, the past year. Having a sharp, supportive group with diverse career backgrounds and experience to use as a sounding board has been invaluable, particularly when I felt isolated and doing battle with negative self-talk.” [21:59] Vickie continues: “Members provide a perspective that I would have never considered on my own in helping me move forward when I felt stuck or lost.” [22:11] This is a paid membership community where Marc offers group coaching, special content, mastermind groups, branding sessions, and Slack channels. More importantly, it’s a community where you can seek help. Please go to Careerpivot.com/community to learn more. [22:38] Paul reveals the secret to making money podcasting! He didn’t make money when he first started. Paul has been doing three shows a week for almost five years. He does video, as well. It has taken a long time to ramp up an audience, and enough topics and expertise of his own. He has improved his ability to interview and to tell stories. [23:39] Paul has progressed with his podcast audience. Over the course of about two-and-a-half years, and mostly over the last year, with getting top-name guests to appear on the show, Paul has started to produce interest from potential advertisers. [24:29] Paul works with healthcare companies, health insurance companies, and technology companies. The hurdle has been that advertising agencies are taking a while to “get” this audience in the second act of their lives. But those over 50 represent a large, affluent market that interests advertisers. [26:15] Paul sells ads on the podcast. He has prepared a marketing document he sends to advertisers when they show an interest. When they get back to him they work out an advertising package. [26:45] Some companies call Paul to do voiceover work for their brands. Some people have called him to do guest hosting of other podcasts, such as the Smithsonian podcast and the healthcare-oriented podcasts he hosts. [27:10] Paul has had to be creative in terms of making money from the podcast. He gets income from a few different sources. [27:45] Marc notes that the podcasting business has a very long tail. It takes a while. Marc guested on Paul’s show a couple of months ago. Paul has eight-to-ten times the downloads that Marc has. He is also two or three years ahead of Marc. Persistence is required. [28:25] Because Paul is a former federal employee, which helped pave the way to get in the door for opportunities like hosting the Smithsonian and other agency podcasts. Paul knows the shorthand of government communications and he understands what the government can promote and what they cannot promote. [29:16] Paul’s podcasts for the government are not selling books or products but are spreading awareness. Federal communications personnel have confidence that Paul will not step over a line but will represent them appropriately in a journalistic style with fact-checking and being prepared for his guests. [30:29] Paul’s first story-telling work was for NASA. He was interested in the role of women at NASA after seeing Taraji P. Henson in Hidden Figures. He approached NASA to help them tell their story behind getting the motion picture made. Paul interviewed Taraji P. Henson and also the author of the book Hidden Figures, Margot Lee Shetterly. [31:32] It took some patience to get in the door, some understanding of the environment within the federal government, and making sure the agency was comfortable with him so they could turn over bits and pieces of the story to Paul, confident that he would tell the story fairly and properly. It took persistence. It helps that Paul lives near downtown. [32:36] When Paul approached NASA, they did not have a budget for promotion or advertising. When Paul offered to tell their story, it appealed to them and they were happy with the result. He was in the right place at the right time. Paul spends a lot of time editing the audio to be as good as possible technically. Marc talks about editing. [34:35] Paul says there are going to be a lot more of our age group coming up. [34:51] Marc hopes you enjoyed the episode. Paul is hitting a home run with his podcast. It is very difficult to make any money from podcasting. Paul has eight-to-ten times the downloads that Marc has, and he’s just now getting to the point where he has sponsors. Marc needs donations because he is a long way from getting sponsored. [35:30] The Career Pivot Membership Community is a platform to provide both inspiration and practical help in creating changes in our lives and careers. It continues to help the approximately 50 members who are participating in the Beta phase of this project. [35:39] This is a community where everyone is there to help everyone else. [35:44] Marc is recruiting members for the next cohort. If you are interested in the endeavor and would like to be put on the waiting list, please go to CareerPivot.com/Community. [35:58] Marc invites you to connect with him on LinkedIn.com/in/mrmiller. Just include in the connection request that you listen to this podcast. You can look for Career Pivot on Facebook, LinkedIn, or @CareerPivot on Twitter. [36:08] Please come back next week! [36:15] Please support this podcast by going to Glow.fm/repurposeyourcareer.

America sent a man to the moon in 1969, and with Neil Armstrong’s first steps, the United States projected to the world an image of American power, wealth and achievement. But it was hardly just for bragging rights. The space race started under Kennedy to compete with the Soviets on a global stage, but it was under Johnson that its goals became domestic. NASA, Head Start, Medicaid and even the war in Vietnam were domestic social programs, used at least in part to alleviate poverty, provide jobs and desegregate the country.But the spending on these programs birthed a new political movement on the right demanding smaller government - and attracted the ire of progressives on the left who thought the money spent on rockets to be misdirected. Meanwhile, the war in Vietnam intensified, costing the nation far more than just money.For more on NASA’s efforts to desegregate the South, check out the book “We Could Not Fail,” by Richard Paul and Steven Moss.For more on the African American women who worked as human computers for NASA, overcoming discrimination and sexism to change history, we recommend the book “Hidden Figures,” by Margot Lee Shetterly.Finally, Audra Wolfe’s book, “Competing with the Soviets,” was crucial to our overall understanding of the Cold War.Support the show by supporting our sponsors!

Discussing Hidden figures: the American dream and the untold story of the Black women mathematicians who helped win the space race DB86234 by Margot Lee Shetterly.

Producer and host John L. Hanson discusses the group of dedicated female mathematicians known as “Human Computers” with Margot Lee Sheerly, author of Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race.

Margot Lee Shetterly, author of Hidden Figures, says “It’s one thing to tell your own story, it’s another thing to take responsibility to tell someone else’s life.” Her book about a group of black women mathematicians who helped catapult the US space program to success became a blockbuster film. In this episode, she tells Michele Norris, former NPR host and director of an Aspen Institute program, that she grew up among the women she wrote about. Later in the show, another award-winning author who writes about race and identity, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, discusses her book Americanah.

In this episode, Adaptation reviews Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly and the 2016 film that's based on it. The hosts marvel at the fact that they were unaware of these amazing women and how hard math is while comparing the two. Question(s) of the Week: Do you know of any other hidden figures that should have movies made about them? Follow us!

INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITY THURSDAY, MARCH 16th HIDDEN FIGURES The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race BY MARGOT LEE SHETTERLY Imagine the first scientists and engineers trying to send rockets—and eventually people—into space. With no electronic computers, they relied on an elite group of mathematicians capable of doing the most challenging calculations by hand, calculations that would launch men into space and forever expand our knowledge of the universe. Among these “human computers” were the black women whose genius for numbers made space exploration and travel possible. They’re finally introduced to America in Margot Lee Shetterly’s HIDDEN FIGURES: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race. Now available in paperback, the book was an instant New York Timesbestseller upon its release in September 2016. It’s no surprise that this story was adapted for film even before the book was finished. It’s the inspiring yet largely unknown true story of the African-American female mathematicians at NASA whose work that helped fuel some of America’s greatest achievements in space. Ironically, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden were responsible for some of NASA’s greatest successes at a time when Jim Crow laws ensured NASA remained segregated. HIDDEN FIGURES is a story that combines the rich intersection of the civil rights era, the Space Race, the Cold War, and the movement for gender equality. Margot Lee Shetterly is the perfect person to write it. A journalist and independent researcher, she is also the daughter of one of NASA’s first black engineers. Her insider’s knowledge, direct access to NASA executives and the women featured in the book lend it a depth and perspective that goes beyond mere research. HIDDEN FIGURES draws on extensive research, oral histories, personal recollections, interviews, and articles from the era to create an incredible picture of never-before-seen history. Now available in trade paperback and soon to be a major motion picture from 20th Century Fox starring Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Kirsten Dunst, and Kevin Costner, with a soundtrack by Pharrell ABOUT THE AUTHOR: MARGOT LEE SHETTERLY is a writer who grew up in Hampton, Virginia, where she knew many of the women in Hidden Figures. She is an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellow and the recipient of a Virginia Foundation of the Humanities grant for her research into the history of women in computing.

Under the indignity of the Jim Crow South, some truly remarkable stories were born. This week, we speak with the authors who chronicled two true stories of African-American resistance that have now become Oscar-nominated movies: Margot Lee Shetterly, whose book Hidden Figures documents the tale of the African-American women who put a man on the moon; and Peter Wallenstein, who tells the story of Richard and Mildred Loving, the couple who struck down bans on interracial marriage. Plus, producer Kelley Libby talks with the voice of NPR about their different experiences of growing up in the South.
