Podcast appearances and mentions of michael seidman

In this episode, our guest is Ryan Blair. He is a father, husband, and business leader who was able to navigate craziness into impacting millions of lives. He has successfully created something that impacted millions of lives not just from the aspect of the business but from the heart. He is now in the direction of taking what he has experienced, and what he has learned and bringing it to the world of entrepreneurship and humanity. [3:10] Why should we listen to you? I speak from love and when I talk to people, I do it with love. Love is my energy. My energy is love and so when I speak to people, I speak with love. [5:26] What is the story that progressed you to the level that you are right now? I grew up in a household with low vibration. I had a difficult childhood, growing up in an atmosphere where my basic needs were not provided. I last saw my father when I was 13 years old. My mother struggled with alcoholism. I was dissatisfied, but I eventually channeled my urge to be powerful into a street brawl. I was imprisoned for four years. I wrote the judge a letter appealing for mercy when I was 17 years old. The court signed the letter, I was freed, and that was the start of a new progression in my life. [7:38] What was the reason why you wrote the letter? I wasn't a good writer, and I had a hard time spelling, but I was determined to speak with the judge. What I told him was that I accepted responsibility for my mistakes and expressed regret, as well as writing to the judge pleading with him to release the other convicts out of love. He read the letter and agreed to let me go to college, but cautioned me that if he saw me again, I would be sent to prison. I had to adjust my entire life at that time. [9:44] What was the moment you decide to venture into entrepreneurship? I was assigned to a mentor who was a successful entrepreneur. My father came from a working-class family. All three classes had been seen by me. The poor, the wealthy, and the middle class, which was where I started. I made the decision to become an entrepreneur at one time. I understood I didn't need to be a lawyer or a doctor before I can employ others. [11:40] How was your first business and what are some of the things that made you successful later on? My first business wasn't very successful but it taught me a lot. I got it to about a million dollars but it wasn't a scalable business. I was into computer repairs but nobody was ready to invest because it was not scalable. I was so pissed off that I swore to learn what scalability is all about so that one day a venture capitalist will invest in me. My next business was skpe pipeline which failed and I had to start all over again [13:40] Where did the idea for visuals come from and how did you grow it to be such a conglomo impactful business? Sky Pipeline cut the two founders of vice house and nick started calling. Black mullen asked I'd love to help them build their business. I fell in love with the research guy named Dr Michael Seidman and his products and I thought to myself that I could be a part of this project and help them bring it to the marketplace. I brought a venture capitalist and we raised 100 million dollars for the business. We then turned it into a 600 million dollar business. I must say that I was a strategic and conditional partner more than the others. They possessed strong fields in marketing and sales and the combination of all of us is what made that company a special company. [16:23] With this new venture, why was it the next call for you? I went through a major correction in my life. I lost my mother and mentor to the cold hands of death. I channeled all of my energy into success and status-seeking which was a great strategy to get my mind off the pain that I was suffering from. My mother's transition made me look into the corner of my soul, shadow, and psyche, and I looked for every piece of anger, and unhealed trauma. I spent two years of my life reemerging with some new wisdom and a new way of life to share with my fellow entrepreneurs. I went deeper into meditation, and psychology and when I emerged I found out that I could help a lot of people with this newfound knowledge that I've received. [20:40] As you navigate, what do you see are some of the pitfalls that as your work kind of dials in that you're uncovering that most people do not realize they are battling with on this journey? The majority of individuals are unaware that they have a lot of hearing to do. You know, the way most of us were raised didn't meet our needs• We may have had excellent parents, but in many cases, our parents didn't know any different because parenting as a whole is still a relatively new idea. Most people have closed their hearts so the formula I use is to help them heal. I go deep into their healing, they grow through healing and when they grow, they have to heal again. I will tell you that an entrepreneur's job is to solve a problem in the external marketplace and the way you solve that external problem is by solving the internal problems on the inside of your walls.                                                                                               [23:25] How do you reach the people who need it but don't know they need it yet? I resisted it and then my life got to a point where I was open. So, I need someone who is open when they go through a life change. The good news is that we are always going through life changes as individuals so those are the primary people that I work with. Like we always say, execution is everything. Most people I find that have a high degree of confidence know what to do but not how to do it because something inside of them is sabotaging their capacity. So we have to make them realize that it is not the skill that is the issue, it is the fact that they've not developed a vessel capable of acquiring the skill.   [28:27]  How do people not ruin their lives as they start executing? Your primary job in life is to manage and maintain the highest degree of positive energy that you can. I have to make sure that the energy that I bring to my time is the highest quality energy that I can.  Money handles itself because if you have the energy to correct and bring it to the table.                            [37:50] What promise did God make to the world when he created you? I am here to inspire. So God said, "This is my son, Ryan and he's going to go through hell and back and he's going to create quite a story of inspiration along the way".   Key Quotes [24: 20_24:25]  Execution like we always say is everything. Every great leader will tell you that what you look [26:40_26:45] Capacity is a person's physical, and mental ability to power, and produce productivity to the operator   How to connect with Ryan Blair Website - https://altercall.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/realryanblair/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/RyanBlair

Une histoire critique des variantes staliniennes (URSS) et libérales-conservatrices (États-Unis, Grande-Bretagne, France) de l’antifascisme d’État – avec Michael Seidman, historien, auteur sur ce sujet de Transatlantic Antifascisms: From the Spanish Civil War to the end of World War II (Cambridge University Press, 2017), et sur des sujets proches d’Ouvriers contre le travail.

L’émission (40 minutes) comporte : Un rappel des critiques marxistes anti-léninistes de « l’unité anti-fasciste » ; Une discussion du caractère bâtard de l’antifascisme espagnol, d’un côté excessivement révolutionnaire pour former une large coalition victorieuse (avec un soutien des catholiques et une aide étrangère des démocraties libérales), mais contre-révolutionnaire d’un autre côté (écrasement stalinien des tentatives révolutionnaires au nom de l’antifascisme) ; Une analyse de la République espagnole sous contrôle stalinien comme préfiguration des « démocraties populaires » post-1945 et comme réplication du capitalisme mixte des années 1920 en URSS (NEP) ; Une critique de l’antifascisme stalinien, de son autoritarisme et de son antisémitisme ; Une genèse historique de « l’antifascisme » libéral-conservateur, en réalité uniquement anti-nazi et seulement à partir de l’annexion de la Tchécoslovaquie (mars 1939) et pour ses raisons de concurrence inter-impérialiste ; Une présentation du général de Gaulle comme visionnaire d’une victoire alliée en 1940 et comme recours contre-révolutionnaire en 1944 ; Une analyse de l’anti-fascisme du Labour (parti travailliste) comme contre-révolutionnaire mais réformateur ; Un rappel du caractère colonial et raciste de l’antifascisme libéral-conservateur ; Une description des transformations de l’anti-fascisme libéral-conservateur en atlantisme anti-communiste, et de l’anti-fascisme stalinien en « anti-impérialisme américano-sioniste » ; Avec une critique de l’instrumentalisation du concept d’ « anti-fascisme », mais un rappel de l’impérieuse nécessité d’un antifascisme libertaire complètement réactualisé.

À l’occasion du 80ème anniversaire de son sinistre triomphe, une discussion des causes du triomphe franquiste au cours de la guerre civile espagnole (1936-1939), en comparaison notamment avec la contre-révolution défaite des « Blancs » en Russie (1917-1921) et des nationalistes en Chine (1945-1949) - avec Michael Seidman, historien, auteur sur ce sujet de The Victorious Counter-Revolution. The The Nationalist Effort in the Spanish Civil War (University of Wisconsin Press, 2011), et sur des sujets proches d’Ouvriers contre le travail. Barcelone et Paris pendant les Fronts populaires (Senonevero, 2010), de Republic of Egos. A Social History of the Spanish Civil War (University of Wisconsin Press, 2002) et de Transatlantic Antifascisms: From the Spanish Civil War to the end of World War II (Cambridge University Press, 2017). Avec une distinction du franquisme comme mouvement contre-révolutionnaire, militariste, clérical et agrarien, d’une part, et du fascisme et du nazisme comme mouvements de « révolte dans l’ordre » en temps de crise capitaliste, d’autre part, et ce du fait de contextes différents (société moins industrialisée, plus régionaliste, plus militariste, plus cléricale et moins libérale en Espagne). Avec une discussion des causes du triomphe franquiste (comparément aux autres contre-révolutions et/ou au camp républicain) : monnaie forte, base sociale très large (des grands propriétaires aux paysans), emploi effectif de troupes de choc marocaines (grâce à des rétributions matérielles et une tolérance religieuse), efficacité stratégique, faible corruption, faible nombre de réquisitions forcées, bon fonctionnement de l’économie, bon usage de l’aide étrangère, abondance alimentaire, mise à contribution fiscale des classes dominantes, mobilisation idéologique de son camp (néo-traditionnalisme catholique, anti-judaïsme, anti-bolchévisme, anti-athéisme, anti-maçonnerie, anti-protestantisme), et un mélange de répression féroce des opposants politiques et de clémence vis-à-vis des masses dépolitisées.

Une autre histoire de la Résistance, non pas celle des partisans mais des prolétaires parisiens qui résistaient au fascisme en résistant au travail – avec Michael Seidman, auteur à ce sujet de Transatlantic Antifascisms: From the Spanish Civil War to the end of World War II (Cambridge University Press, 2017) et d’Ouvriers contre le travail. Barcelone et Paris pendant les Fronts populaires (Senonevero, 2010). Avec une présentation du contexte répressif des résistances au travail en France sous l’Occupation (menace d’arrestation ou de déportation) ; des différentes formes de résistance (grèves perlées, vols, absentésime) dans un contexte de « fascisation » du travail (allongement des journées de travail, moindres salaires, disciplinarisation accrue, interdiction des syndicats indépendants, service du travail obligatoire [STO] en Allemagne) et de difficultés croissantes (sous-alimentation) ; d’une montée des résistances au travail comme réaction à cette fascisation, comme manifestation d’une défiance croissante vis-à-vis de Vichy et de l’Allemagne nazie (et un soutien croissant aux Alliés) et comme entrée en Résistance « antifasciste » ; et de l’apogée de cette résistance en 1944 lorsqu’elle opère un sabotage massif des transports parisiens, montrant qu’une résistance au travail massive peut devenir politique et même révolutionnaire [30 minutes]

Une histoire des résistances au travail dans Barcelone en guerre et en révolution – avec Michael Seidman, historien, auteur à ce sujet d’Ouvriers contre le travail. Barcelone et Paris pendant les Fronts populaires (Senonevero, 2010).

This podcast highlights a clinical practice guideline on allergic rhinitis that is published as a February 2015 supplement to Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, the official journal of the American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) Foundation. In the first of two podcasts for this supplement, Editor in chief John Krouse is joined by lead author Michael Seidman and co-author Sandra Lin in discussing key findings from the guideline in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis is a common condition affecting both children and adults.  It affects about 1 in 6 Americans and is responsible for $2 billion to $5 billion in direct healthcare expenditures annually.  It is defined as an IgE-mediated inflammatory response of the nasal mucosa after exposure to inhaled antigens.  Symptoms include sneezing, nasal itching, anterior or posterior nasal discharge, and nasal congestion.  Allergic rhinitis can occur seasonally or can be present throughout the year.  In the guideline, several key recommendations and options were offered.  Clinicians should make a diagnosis of allergic rhinitis on the basis of history and physical examination, and utilize allergy testing when the diagnosis is uncertain or when patients do not respond to empiric therapy.  Clinicians should not routinely perform imaging studies in patients whose symptoms correspond to a diagnosis of allergic rhinitis.  In addition, clinicians should primarily use intranasal corticosteroid medications or oral antihistamines for the primary treatment of allergic rhinitis, rather than leukotriene receptor antagonists.  The guidelines discuss additional recommendations and options for clinicians treating these patients with allergic rhinitis.
