Podcast appearances and mentions of Matthew effect

For episode 206 of De Facto Leaders, I share a Q & A session where I discuss Reading Recovery and cueing strategies for decoding, and I make some recommendations for additional information that will give you more information on this topic.I also share what you can do if you're in a district that uses Fountas and Pinnell reading levels, which often don't give detailed or consistent information about a kid's language skills. You'll also hear commentary on the Matthew Effect and vocabulary development. Finally, I discuss the role of executive dysfunction and mental health, a guide I created that dives into this topic further, and what clinicians can do to support executive functioning in schools.This Q & A session was done in the member's group for Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that helps SLPs build a system for language therapy.

In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert is joined by Jane Ashby, professor in the Reading Science doctoral program at Mount St. Joseph University. They define the concept of “settled science” as a jumping-off point before digging into phonology and the argument for not always basing your teaching practice on the newest research. Dr. Ashby touches on the impact of phonology on comprehension, the Matthew Effect, and why the term “instant words” is more accurate than “sight words.” You'll walk away from this episode with two practical exercises Dr. Ashby recommends for teaching students to transfer oral segmenting and blending to reading and writing tasks.Show notesConnect with Jane Ashby: Mt.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Natalie Wexler discuss the poor reading skills of American students, as evidenced by NAEP test results. Natalie highlights the ineffectiveness of current reading programs and the focus on skills over content. She also talks about the discrepancies between students of different backgrounds, and how The Matthew Effect appears in reading comprehension and general knowledge. She also encourages teachers and parents to introduce their children, as early as possible, to higher concepts and vocabulary as children can and do understand more than many give them credit for. Natalie also discusses the role of writing in enhancing reading comprehension and the need for systemic changes in education to improve literacy outcomes.    Key Takeaways: When it comes to literacy and reading, the standards don't specify content. Therefore, the tests are not grounded in consistent content. Most kids need to learn their phonics in order to become fluent readers. Making this a more automated skill will free up brain power for comprehension.  Vocabulary is more likely to stick if it is heard in context and on repeat. Read aloud to your kids. Kids can take in more sophisticated concepts and vocabulary through listening than reading. This goes through age 13.  More than average amounts of social studies in elementary school are correlated with higher than average reading scores later in school.    "Kids who started with less of that academic knowledge and vocabulary, if they don't acquire it through school, they're going to fall farther and farther behind, because they're going to be limited to those simple texts. Even if there's some new vocabulary, new information in those texts, they're less likely to be able to retain it because they don't have anything for it to stick to." —  Natalie Wexler   Episode References:  The Knowledge Matters Campaign: https://knowledgematterscampaign.org/    Connect with Natalie Wexler: Professional Bio: https://nataliewexler.com/about/  Website: https://nataliewexler.com/  Substack: https://nataliewexler.substack.com/    Books: Beyond the Science of Reading: https://nataliewexler.com/beyond-the-science-of-reading/  The Knowledge Gap: https://nataliewexler.com/the-knowledge-gap/  The Writing Revolution: https://nataliewexler.com/the-writing-revolution/twr-2-0-cover-amazon/      Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net      Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

“The rich get richer and the poor get poorer”, the saying goes. And there's actually a name for that phenomenon: the Matthew Effect. The term was first coined by sociologists Robert K. Merton and Harriet Zuckerman in 1968, in relation to how “already eminent scientists were given disproportionate credit in cases of collaboration or of independent multiple discoveries.” In other words, if a group of scientists made a discovery together, with equal input, the most famous one would tend to get the most credit. Unfair, right? But sadly true! The Matthew Effect was not limited to scientific citations. Other researchers found that it also applied to wealth and status in society.

Inflation peaked in 2022, but now it's on a slow and steady decline, reaching 2.5% in June 2024, down from 5.5% in June 2023. Plus, some commercial practices that drove prices up are now better controlled. For example, since July 1, 2024, supermarkets have to label products affected by shrinkflation—where they reduce the quantity but keep the price the same. But even with these changes, you've probably noticed that supermarket prices aren't dropping. And actually that's totally normal. Why has inflation slowed? why aren't all prices falling? What could lead to a real fall in prices? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is the circular economy?

Many men feel self-conscious about the size of their penis, and it's often down to constant comparisons with other men, driven by pornography. Interestingly, some men have noticed that their penis appears bigger during warmer weather, and online discussions of this have led to the phenomenon becoming known as "summer penis." Is there any basis to those claims though? Just how much bigger can it get then? What determines penis size? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Scarborough's Reading Rope highlights the necessity of both word recognition and language comprehension for developing skilled readers. In this episode, I focus on effective vocabulary instruction, a crucial component of language comprehension. I will discuss both implicit and explicit vocabulary instruction methods and their role in enhancing students' vocabulary and reading comprehension.Explicit vocabulary instruction involves directly teaching new words to students, allowing teachers to be intentional about the vocabulary they introduce. In contrast, implicit vocabulary instruction occurs spontaneously during teachable moments and is less structured but natural. However, teaching vocabulary effectively goes beyond knowing word definitions; it requires a deep understanding of instructional strategies. Listen to this episode for ways to effectively teach both implicit and explicit vocabulary in your classroom.The importance of vocabulary instruction is underscored by the Matthew Effect, which suggests that students with a strong vocabulary foundation can accelerate their learning more quickly than their peers with limited vocabulary. A rich vocabulary makes it easier for students to comprehend complex texts, leading to further vocabulary acquisition and improved reading skills. Conversely, students with poor vocabulary face challenges in progressing and understanding new words from complex texts. Therefore, intentional teaching of both explicit and implicit vocabulary is essential to boost students' reading comprehension and overall literacy skills.Join us in the Stellar Literacy Collective Membership: stellarteacher.com/join!Sign up for my FREE private podcast, the Confident Writer Systems Series, here!Sign up for my FREE Revision Made Easy email series here!Follow me on Instagram @thestellarteachercompany.

Imagine being a learner who is new to English. Someone says to you, "Can you lend me a hand?” Imagine what that learner is processing. First, it's a question. Second, think about the word lend. Do I know what that means? Third, lend a hand. Does that mean they literally want one of my hands? In just one sentence, we've highlighted the essentials of language acquisition. A well-developed vocabulary is not only important in our conversations but also in the academic setting. For our challenged learners with dyslexia, their listening and speaking vocabulary might be very good, but when it comes to reading and writing, that's where they need further support. In this episode, we're going to dig into the eight essential components of vocabulary instruction under the lens of literacy intervention. 200K Giveaway!

Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12   https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 What's the Matthew Effect? The Matthew effect explains how two people can start in nearly the same place and end up worlds apart. In these kinds of systems, initial conditions matter. And as time goes on, they matter more and more. Instead of saving a fixed percentage of your income, save more when you earn more and less when you make less. The best way to save more is to earn more, not cut expenses to the point of being miserable. The real question money forces us to answer is what's important to us in life. You should save what you can, when you can. Relying on a fixed, prescribed savings rate is nonsense. The Dolly Varden trout, an Alaskan fish species, puzzled biologists for decades. Despite only having a brief window of plentiful food each year — when salmon laid eggs in their waters — the fish continued to thrive year-round. How did they do it? Eventually, scientists discovered that the fish shrink and grow their digestive organs depending on food availability. When the salmon show up, they speed up their metabolism so they can take in more calories. Then, when the other fish leave, they slow down digestion. This way, they get by with much less food throughout the remainder of the year. Great Things Take Time – Focusing on the long term is more important than ever. The story of the “Dashrath Manjhi Breakthrough” – He carved a path through a mountain. He moved a little bit of rock each day for 20 years. Nick committed to writing one blog per week in 2017. And it changed his life. He learned that storytelling is what captures a reader's attention. And the way to develop good stories is to read a lot, from a wide variety of sources. We all can do this. One decision can change everything. NASA decided that Voyager 2 would slingshot around planets has made it the farthest man-made object from Earth. And it's still producing information for us. The Constant Reminder – How the Right Decisions and Compounding Can Lead to Huge Results. How have the decisions made by NASA 40 years ago had a profound effect on the Voyager missions and success to this day? Once a successful process is implemented, the results can be surprising. The point is to show you that making the right choices and letting things run their course can lead to incredible results. This is what makes consistent actions and the power of compounding so amazing. "When I think about creating a new habit in my life, I like to imagine all of the future benefits from that habit discounted back to the moment when the habit is formed."

The Matthew Effect, also known as the principle of accumulated advantage, is not only a platitude; it's a scientifically recognized phenomenon that has been studied by sociologists and economists. Coined by sociologists Robert K. Merton and Harriet Zuckerman in 1968, the term derives its name from a biblical parable found in the Gospel of Matthew. https://dariusforoux.com/matthew-effect/

On episode 187, we welcome Katie Palmer to discuss the lack of social funding for the arts, theater as philosophy and how it teaches us to become better thinkers, how the visceral theater experience cultivates empathy and a sense of belonging, theater as a necessity for a flourishing democracy, the Federal Theatre Project and how it's national director Hallie Flanagan shaped it, why governments should support art, the Matthew Effect and how it stifles untapped talent, the message of the play ‘The Nobodies Who Were Everybody', the red scare of the 1930s and whether suppressing art was actually about Communism, and theater as a representation of the aspects of our lives we normally choose to avoid. Katie Palmer is the co-director of the Theater in Asylum production, The Nobodies Who Were Everybody. She is a graduate of NYU's NYU's Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Drama. She is the founding co-Artistic Director of Theater in Asylum. Theater in Asylum joyfully pursues a rigorously researched and ensemble-driven approach to theater-making.

What is the Matthew Effect? And how does it affect success in sports, but more importantly the way children are treated in schools? In this episode, the men seek answers to those questions and more.

One of the most common questions I hear from parents after they hire a specialist is, how long will it take to get my child up to grade level? Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to give a clear, guaranteed timeline of your child's progress. In this episode, I explore the different factors that go into your child's success with an interventionist. Your child's age, individual needs, and the intensity of their instruction all play major roles in their ability to make meaningful progress. My go-to answer when parents ask how long dyslexia remediation takes is that this process is a marathon, not a sprint. You should anticipate challenges and celebrate milestones along the way. Listen in to learn more about what to expect when it comes to predicting and tracking your child's progress.

In this episode of Room to Grow, Joanie and Curtis build the conversation from NCTM's description of access, described as "ensuring that all students routinely have opportunities to experience high-quality mathematics instruction, learn challenging mathematics content, and receive the support necessary to be successful."Our hosts tackle this challenging topic by considering some important high-leverage components, particularly those that are within a classroom teachers' locus of control. Ensuring that all students have high-quality instruction from an excellent teacher supports the learning of challenging mathematics content. Joanie and Curtis consider that “support for success” extends beyond academic support, and spills over into the importance of classroom culture in access for all students. Teachers can, with intention, ensure that all students know they are viewed as doers of mathematics with ideas that are valuable for the learning of the entire class.The conversation then shifts to discussing how the Standards for Mathematical Practice can help teachers not only understand what access looks like, but also helps students realize the relevance of the mathematics they are learning. Unsurprisingly, our hosts circle back to the importance of relationships with our students for their successful learning.We encourage you to explore the resources below, referenced in this episode:NCTM's Statement on Access and Equity in Mathematics Education https://www.nctm.org/Standards-and-Positions/Position-Statements/Access-and-Equity-in-Mathematics-Education/Supporting students' identity and agency in mathematics https://www.nctm.org/Store/Products/The-Impact-of-Identity-in-K-8-Mathematics--Rethinking--Equity-Based-Practices/ Blog about Minimizing the “Matthew Effect” https://buildingmathematicians.wordpress.com/2018/01/15/minimizing-the-matthew-effect/ Skew the Script AP Statistics resources for relevant mathematics https://skewthescript.org/ Implementing the Standards for Mathematical Practice https://achievethecore.org/peersandpedagogy/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Implementing-Standards-for-Mathematical-Practices-Updated-2016.pdf Instagrammer with Bachelor and Bachelorette data: https://www.instagram.com/bachelordata/?hl=enDid you enjoy this episode of Room to Grow?

The end of the school year is rapidly approaching here in the United States. For many children, the end of the school year can bring about stress and uncertainty. Many of our students have feelings of anxiety - they may be a bit more anxious than excited about the end of the school year. Typically, the school year helps our students to establish positive routines and relationships that support them. A change in these routines can often trigger stress responses, especially in our students who learn differently. In this episode, we'll discuss signs and behaviors you should be looking for in your children as the school year comes to a close. We'll also cover appropriate summer practice for your children with learning challenges. Tune in for our top tips for finishing this school year strong, especially if you feel like your child is suffering from the end of the year blues!

In our last episode, we went deep into the Peter Effect and the importance of knowledge for educators. In this episode, we look at the Matthew Effect as it pertains to reading development in children. What is the Matthew Effect? The Matthew Effect refers to the idea that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Tune in as we apply the Matthew Effect to the education community. We'll explore what it means for literacy and dyslexia and ways we can combat the Matthew Effect in our classrooms and our homes. Stick around until the end for a listener question about strategies for students who can decode well, their fluency is great, but they do not appear to be comprehending what they read.

New scientific research topics can sometimes face a chicken-and-egg problem. Professional success requires a critical mass of scholars to be active in a field, so that they can serve as open-minded peer reviewers and can validate (or at least cite!) new discoveries. Without that critical mass,undefined working on a new topic topic might be professionally risky. But if everyone thinks this way, then how do new research topics emerge; how do groups of people pick which topic to focus on?One way is via coordinating mechanisms; a small number of universally recognized markers of promising research topics. This podcast looks at some evidence about how well prizes and other honors work at helping steer researchers towards specific research topics.This is an audio read through of the (initial version of) "Steering Science with Prizes", published on New Things Under the Sun.Articles mentioned:Azoulay, Pierre, Toby Stuart, and Yanbo Wang. 2014.

Just as television eventually gave way to mass adoption and lowest common denominator programming, the Internet, once niche, has given a means for narcissists, sciolists, and other bad actors to carve out an unsuspecting audience. Taken from the Latin “scius” (knowing) and its diminutive “sciolus” (little knower), the word “sciolist” refers to a pretender towards knowledge – conscious or not. Of course, this is a cross-cultural, cross-political phenomenon, for there is a basic, simian drive to not only “know”, but to pretend to know  when one does not. Over the past decade, pretenders such as Jordan B. Peterson, Joe Rogan, Sam Harris, the latter-day Richard Dawkins, Christopher Langan, Ben Shapiro, as well as their liberal counterparts have taken attention away from those with genuine ideas to impart. In this video, Alex Sheremet and Dan Schneider comb through these sciolists' aesthetics, their claims, their craving for an ever-expanding audience of know-nothings, and various intellectual traps they've laid for themselves in the quest for pelf. You can also watch this conversation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9e0sb886l1Y ArtiFact #23: Sciolism & Sciolists – Jordan B.

Welcome to Season 2 of our podcast! We're excited to kick off new episodes of our podcast with amazing guests and more great information about caregiver wellness and well home design. For 2022, Caregiving Club has chosen a theme of “The Year of Living Colorfully.” This theme connects to the 7 elements of our Me Time Monday Wellness Edit and as always we have another wellness hack at the end of our podcast episodes with this episode focused on the 7 Yellow Brick Roads to Happiness. We also have two great guests on this episode: 1. Since we're talking about happy new year and creating happiness in life – author and clinical psychologist, Joan Neehall, PhD is here to talk about her new book, “Happy Is the New Healthy”. Joan shares insights from her book including: time affluence and how to use it for caregiver self-care; how to bookend your day with happiness, the Matthew Effect, how to avoid the social media scorecard and how happiness is about what we manufacture not about what we acquire. 2. Our second guest is a national expert on financial wellness and since January is Financial Wellness Month we could not think of anyone better than Cindy Hounsell of WISER (Women's Institute for a Secure Retirement) to tell us how we can achieve wellness in our financial lives. Cindy also talks about a new tool from WISER for caregivers called the Caregiver Financial Hub – you won't want to miss this important information. Caregiving Club On Air podcast host, Sherri Snelling, also reports on Caregiver Wellness News including: Gallup's Annual Survey on Global Happiness, the U-Curve of Happiness research, the merger of Headspace and Ginger to form a $3 billion mental health company, the Viagra-Alzheimer's connection, and the Blue Zones of Happiness book ending with some pop culture happiness news. She also reports on the latest in Well Home Design news and costs of care at home for Financial Wellness Month as well as the 2022 Home Design Trends that make sense for caregivers and older adults.

Fostering motivation for personal development is one of the key values of OTO. Creating an environment of momentum, one that motivates you to continue your development is key to experiencing long term success in this endeavor. As a listener to this podcast, you're likely among the 20% of individuals that are doing 80% of the creative work in our industry. But finding the motivation to continue this task, continue this work, is incredibly hard. This is where the Matthew Effect is critical. The Matthew Effect originates from a bible verse: “FOR UNTO EVERYONE THAT HATH SHALL BE GIVEN, AND HE SHALL HAVE ABUNDANCE. BUT FROM HIM THAT HATH NOT SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY EVEN THAT WHICH HE” This means that if we can begin to create an environment of winning, of success and of personal growth we are more likely to see a continuation of that growth. This podcast will go deeper into the Matthew Effect, the research that surrounds it and ways you can begin to harness it. At the end I even include 6 ways that I've personally used to jump start this effect, even when I am at my nadir of personal development motivation.

How small advantages early in life can lead to large advantages later in life.

Economists recognize the phenomenon of increasing returns. Knowledge markets such as those for software, operating systems and platforms, tend to tilt in favor of a product or service or brand that gets ahead, even to the point of lock-in. There is a growing body of theory — often under the heading of complexity theory, and supported by computational simulation — underpinning the concept of increasing returns. Mark Schaefer is expert at bringing economic theories of this kind into vibrant contemporary life. He coined the term Cumulative Advantage, and wants all entrepreneurs to know how to harness it (see Mises.org/E4B_120_PDF). First of all, it's not new. It's in the Bible: For whoever has will be given more. Sociologist Robert K. Merton therefore called it The Matthew Effect. How can entrepreneurs and their firms take advantage of increasing returns to achieve cumulative advantage? Consistent with the processual approach to value of Austrian economics, Mark has a five-step process. Key Takeaways And Actionable Insights Identify an initial advantage. How do entrepreneurs identify a small initial advantage that sets momentum in motion? There are unlimited sources within complex economic systems. Mark tells us to look for collisions of events, ideas, people and circumstances from which entrepreneurs can derive their unique advantage. He calls them “click moments”. They are happy, random, emergent phenomena. He gives the example of Bill Bowerman's experiment with latex in a waffle iron to create a new type of running shoe — the click moment for Nike. Importantly, these random outcomes are spurred by action — acting on curiosity, and pursuing an energetic quest to establish how ideas and imagination can be exploited to solve customers' problems. Discover a seam of timely opportunity. Mark rejects the concepts of strategy and planning. Business success can't result from 50-page documents and elaborate spreadsheets. Momentum is a consequence of action. Entrepreneurs replace strategy with their own subjectively defined opportunity to exploit speed, time and space. A seam is a fracture in the status quo through which the entrepreneur sprints. Relentless searching for an open seam is the core activity of entrepreneurship. Seams are always opening as a result of the continuing, ongoing change of business and the economy, best understood through the dynamic lens provided by Austrian economics. Often the timing of the opening is the key factor in the success of an entrepreneurial initiative. Timing cannot be predicted, and so continuous experimentation is the best approach, to create the maximum possibility for “click moments”. Create significant awareness through a “sonic boom” of social proof. Once a business has entered a seam, it's the occasion to search for amplification. Mark Schaefer proposes the leverage available through influence and influencers, those who can provide social proof to a broader audience that a new entrepreneurial offering is sufficiently worthy to command widespread demand. The customer is the marketer in this construct of social proof — which is a development, of course, of the Austrian theory of consumer sovereignty. People believe each other more than they believe advertising, promotion or PR. Gain access to a higher orbit by reaching out and up to powerful partners and allies. Once awareness and social proof of the entrepreneurial offering begin to build, the next process step is to seek partners and allies who can provide access to higher-level resources: powerful connections, better channels, financial capital, value-multiplying alliances. Network theory applies: denser and more active connections through bigger and more strategic network nodes can result in accelerated business expansion. Maybe it's distribution in Walmart or Target, or endorsement by a celebrity athlete, or presence on a FinTech trading platform, or access to new resources. Reaching up is an exercise in finding partners to expand an entrepreneur's market potential. Build momentum through constancy of purpose. Ultimately, says Mark, the killer app is constancy of purpose. Discipline, resilience, purpose and persistence accompany entrepreneurs on the path to achievement. There's flexibility and adaptiveness and agility of course, and these can bring changes in direction, but the goal and the purpose always retain their primary role in the narrative of success.

Episode 048: Knowledge Party with Natalie WexlerToday on Vrain Waves we have an exciting and somewhat earth shaking interview from Natalie Wexler, education journalist and author of The Knowledge Gap. She walks us through the contributing research and education history that led her to write the book, and some strategies for schools to set the foundation for student success. From her website: “Education journalist Natalie Wexler focuses on two ideas that have solid evidence behind them but have been mostly overlooked by schools and reformers: immersing children from less-educated families in knowledge about the world, and linking that knowledge to writing instruction.”Connect with Natalie WexlerWebsite: nataliewexler.com | Twitter: @natwexler | Books: The Knowledge Gap, The Writing RevolutionConnect with Vrain WavesWebsite: vrainwaves.com | Twitter: @VrainWaves | Becky Twitter: @BeckyEPeters | Ben Twitter: @mrkalb Intro (00:58)4 times less likely to graduate if not reading on grade level by 3rd gradeNYT Article: Reading Scores on National Exam Decline in Half the StatesTypical time spent in 3rd grade on reading: 2 hours; 16 min on social studies, 19 min on science (2012)Reading comprehension cannot be broken down into discrete skillsDaisy Christodoulou - Books; (bonus: Check out her stuff on Comparative Judgment for assessment!)Natalie Wexler’s view on the Promise of Public Education (5:25)Functioning democracy needs a citizenry that can understand events and how to edit and fact check the information that they’re exposed toWhat is The Knowledge Gap (06:55)We’ve treated reading like it’s a set of discrete skills while letting content knowledge take a back seatMost important factor for successful reading comprehension: how much background knowledge and vocabulary you already haveThe Baseball Study and reading comprehension (09:42)2 Parts of Reading: Decoding and Comprehension (11:27)Cognitive Scientists and Teachers have come to opposite conclusions - decoding needs direct and explicit instruction and comprehension will come along with more exposure to contentLanguage at the Speed of Sight, 271–274Dan Willingham (Vrain Waves Episode with Dr. Willingham)Whose knowledge?

In fact, Bloom meant that knowledge and comprehension are prerequisites for higher-order thinking, and that teachers should never ask students to start analyzing or evaluating a topic until first ensuring they have a solid understanding of it.”The Writing Revolution (42:33)Writing builds and solidifies knowledge as well as demonstrating knowledgeRetrieval Practice / The Testing EffectThe Protege EffectKnowledge is like velcroSentence frames with ending conjunctions for promptsBalance between free writing & content-based writing (47:40)Judith Hochman - The Hochman MethodRole of the teacher in the modern classroom, PD (48:54)Delivering curriculum instead of creating curriculumOngoing PD around content delivery, not skills in isolationProvide information and then guide them through thinking about that information with opportunities for desirable difficultyClosing & Take Aways (53:00)NatalieWexler.com / Forbes.com contributorQuote: “It’s not so much that particular bits of information are vital in and of themselves—although some certainly are. It’s more that people need to have enough facts in their heads to have what one commentator has called ‘a knowledge party’—a bunch of accumulated associations that will enable them to absorb, retain, and analyze new information. Education certainly shouldn’t end with facts. But if it doesn’t begin there, many students will never acquire the knowledge and analytical abilities they need to thrive both in school and in life.”Other Resources as well as some relevant citations from The Knowledge Gap:Amplify Science of Reading PodcastShanahan: Should We Teach Students at their Reading Level Why Minimally Guided Techniques Do Not Work, Kirschner et alTeaching Content is Teaching Reading - YouTube Video, Dan Willingham

Jesus uses a metaphor in Matthew 6 that may be foreign to many of us. Having a "good" or "healthy" eye represents an underlying ethic of seeing one another, so that we can be generous and lavish in our economic behavior. Different from the commonly known Matthew Effect, that the more someone has the greater their advantage, this principle proposes a way of governing our economic selves by restoring our proper relationship with each other.

In Biografien von erfolgreichen Menschen ist immer wieder zu lesen, wie viel harte Arbeit, Disziplin und Glück sie auf ihrem Weg hatten. Auch von genetischer Veranlagung und dem Umfeld in der Kindheit ist dann die Rede. Aber es gibt durchaus auch ganz andere, ziemlich banale Faktoren, die den Werdegang eines jungen Menschen nachhaltig beeinflussen können. In dieser Geschichte geht es um den Matthew-Effekt, der zeigt, wie die Ansammlung von kleinen Vorteilen im jungen Alter dazu führt, dass jemand im Erwachsenenalter einen riesigen Vorsprung hat.                      Shownotes Malcom Gladwell (Outliers /Überflieger): http://www.gladwellbooks.com Matthew-Effect (englisch): http://themattheweffect.org Matthäus-Effekt (deutsch): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthäus-Effekt Den Artikel zur Folge findest Du hier: https://wirelesslife.de/fussballstar    "Aufgepasst und nachgedacht" heißt das Motto dieser Show, in der kurze Geschichten für langanhaltende Aha-Momente sorgen.

In this episode, I share with you what the Matthew Effect is and I utilize its basis from a parable in the bible to teach you the five key insights that will help you move into the abundance that IS your birthright.  I was inspired from the idea of the Matthew Effect from reading Malcolm Gladwell's book The Outliers and I build upon his conversation that there are only certain people who have the propensity for advantage and shows you that it is all about if you tap into it and what happens when you don’t.   Links: Findyourfiercechallenge.com   Listen to the episodes mentioned during the show: 2: Why You Must Go After Your MORE – Part 1 – Your Job Is Not Big Enough For Your Gift 3: Why You Must Go After Your MORE – Part 2 – You ARE The Answer! 4: Why You Must Go After Your MORE – Part 3 – How Your MORE Allows You To Write Your Own Paycheck   Time Stamps: 01:06 – What is the Matthew Effect? 04:16 – “We all have the same propensity to live abundantly” – 06:40 – Create The Matthew Effect in your own life 07:47 – “Success happens when you take action” – 12:01 – When you ignore the gifts inside of you 15:03 – How to grow what you already have and level up 16:47 – There is no such thing as overnight success” – 18:14 – “You can give your all to improve yourself or you can sit in ordinary” – 19:26 – Find your fierce challenge in just seven days!   Are You Ready To Go After Your MORE?
