In this week's special episode, we're joined by a panel of former guests who are all cancer survivors. As a group, the panel discussed how cancer is connected physically, emotionally, and chemically. They also discuss what to expect from a cancer journey, how to best assist people in your life who are battling cancer, and more. It was exciting to interview this trio of guests and learn from each of their approaches to battling cancer. While each survivor brought their own experiences into their journey, there was considerable overlap in their approach and experience. Cynthia Hayes is a uterine carcinoma survivor and author of “The Big Ordeal: Understanding and managing the psychological turmoil of cancer”. Her book is available at https://thebigordeal.com/ as well as a variety of other platforms including Amazon. She returns to the show after being interviewed in episodes 160 & 189. Michele Miller and John Walmsley are pancreatic cancer survivors who have returned as guests after being interviewed in episodes 187 & 210, respectively.

This episode, Kate informs Matt about the fantastically hilarious “Ig Nobel Prizes”. The Ig Nobels are a parody of the better-known Nobel Prize, and they reward science that makes you laugh, and then makes you think. We take a dive into some of the most entertaining award winners from this year, last year, and across history. From levitating frogs and giving helium to alligators… to knives made from faeces and unboiled eggs. This is a wild ride of hilarious, but also super interesting science!  We also tackle a listener question about wind… how, and why, does it happen? As always, if you like our work you can find us @curiosityrat on twitter, instagram, and facebook, and send your listener questions in to curiosityrat@gmail.com We also now have a Patreon!

Amanda was an early intern for us who wrote for AgWired when she was in her final year at South Dakota State University. I'm proud of the career she is having and to have been a part of it in our little way. Next up you'll hear Dr. Frank Mitloehner, Professor and Air Quality Extension Specialist, Department of Animal Science, University of California, Davis. He spoke about "Beef's Carbon Footprint: Setting the Record Straight." And he certainly does that. I hope you'll follow him on Twitter. We need more like him. Then you can hear my Farm Babe 2.0 interview. I spoke with Michele Miller last year at the conference and we did it again this year at the end of the conference. If you're not following The Farm Babe then get started. I hope you enjoy it and thank you for listening.

Hey -we all procrastinate in one way or another, don't we?  Apologies in advance! This one is a tad late, I will admit.   As I will explain in the podcast, every single year since 1988 I have written a song rhyming the top issues of the year. I did it in conjunction with my function (which rhymes) as a singing morning show cohost on WGNA in Albany, NY. Well, had an inquiry on Facebook from long time listener and friend Michele Miller asking me where this year's song could be found....Uye Vey - the guilt, the guilt!   So I locked myself in my home studio and came up with this, my 30th end of year song (parodying the same tune each year: "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" ) I also include the very first one I wrote in 1988, which is fun to just relive the issues of the day! Please enjoy this podcast.  There is also a video version of this on my YouTube channel- search  "Richie Phillips".   Thanks, and let's hope for a better, brighter, and safer 2019.                                                LET'S MAKE AMERICA SANE AGAIN!  PS - If you are looking for entertainment (DJing, Stand up comedy with a keyboard, customized songs written and performed for that special someone ) go to www.hirerichie.com .  My email is Richie1077@gmail.com

Why are Japan and Britain conducting Freedom of Navigation Operations in the South China Sea? What would an enduring peace in those contested waters look like? How is Trump affecting the US-China alliance? From navigating vessels through crowded sea-lanes to understanding the naval dimensions of the rules-based order, this week’s National Security Pod is all about maritime security. First, host Chris Farnham chats to Commodore Michele Miller from the Royal Australian Navy about the legal and operational issues surrounding maritime security in the South China Sea. Then, we hear from Euan Graham from the Lowy Institute about the recent Kakadu exercise in Australia’s Northern Territory and how the changing balance of power between China and the US is upsetting the regional order. Michele Miller has served in the Royal Australian Navy for over 30 years as a maritime warfare officer, and amongst an array of roles, has been a maritime exercise planner and commanded two ships. In 2018 she has been on secondment with the National Security College. Euan Graham is a Senior Fellow at the Lowy Institute. He has been a close observer of East Asian security affairs for more than twenty years, in academia, the private sector, and for the British Government. Chris Farnham is the presenter of the National Security Podcast. He joined the National Security College in June 2015 as Policy and Events Officer. His career focus has been on geopolitics with experience working in and out of China for a number of years as well as operating in Australia and Southeast Asia.

“He knew how to lead by listening and teaching.”– Erwin C. Hargrove, a professor of political science at Vanderbilt University, writing in 1998 about a leader he much admired. I, too, have known brilliant leaders like that; men and women who lead by listening and teaching.Brian Scudamore, Lori Barr, Richard Kessler, Cathy Thorpe, Erik Church, Sarah Casebier, David Rehr, Michele Miller, Brian Alter, Richard D. Grant and David St. James to name just a few. I mentioned one such leader, Dewey Jenkins, in last week's Monday Morning Memo. Another of them, Ken Sim, is currently running for mayor of Vancouver. According to Professor Hargrove, the key to leadership is to hearken to “the better angels of our nature,” a phrase he borrowed from Abraham Lincoln, who used it in his first inaugural address on March 4, 1861. But we didn't listen to Lincoln. We chose civil war just 6 weeks later.The leader that Professor Hargrove admired who “knew how to lead by listening and teaching,” was another American president who encouraged us during a different time of social upheaval – the Great Depression. “In February 1933, a man shot at [Franklin Delano] Roosevelt, who was riding in an open car in Miami, but succeeded in killing Anton Cermak, the mayor of Chicago, who was with the president-elect. FDR was calm and deci­sive, ordering the driver to go immediately to the hospital, paying no attention to his own security, and talking to the wounded man. His calm courage impressed all who saw him.” – Erwin C. Hargrove, The President As A Leader: Appealing to the Better Angels of Our Nature, p. 79 (1998) The Stanford Library review of Professor Hargrove's book ends with this statement: “In harking back to Lincoln's evocation of the better angels of our nature, Hargrove reminds us that we may, even as leaders, be better versions of ourselves.” And the key to becoming that “better version of ourselves” is to become focused listeners and patient teachers. The reason history repeats itself is because we don't pay attention the first time.Anti-intellectualism in American Life was written in 1964 by Richard Hofstadter, a professor of American History at Columbia University. It won him the Pulitzer Prize. It was his second. He won his first Pulitzer for his 1955 book, The Age of Reform. Reading these books has caused me to develop a theory.Can I share my observations with you? Our obsession with the internet has led us to believe that we are smarter and wiser than any previous generation. We quietly assume that anyone over 40 is a dinosaur, and that every famous historical figure was innocently naive. “But they couldn't help it,” we sympathize, “because they didn't know everything like we do now.” We ignore the centuries of experience of previous generations. We are teaching. But we are not listening.And those who teach – without listening – share their own preferences as though those preferences were wisdom. But what do I know? I'm over 40. Roy H. Williams

A wise man sees both sides of a matter. The fool sees only one. The origin of the word “wizard” is wise-ard. It means wise man. Nothing more. The wise-ards of the Christmas Story followed a star, had an adventure, made a discovery and leaped onto the pages of history. What did they talk about along the way? Who did the cooking? What pressing issues did they leave unattended back home? What did they do with the rest of their lives? Where, when, and how did each of them die? We know only that they followed a star everyone else was content to ignore; that they were nonconformists with strange beliefs who had the courage of their convictions. They took action. They left home and found the thing they sought. How about you? Will you run with the big dogs or sit on the porch and bark at the postman? Talk is cheap, the buzzing of flies.  I didn't say that to hurt your feelings. I said it because I love you. What are you trying to accomplish? How will you measure progress-to-goal? Do you know what needs to happen next? Which star do you follow? An encounter with the wise man in the woods is part of every hero's journey. Athena was the wise man in the woods for Odysseus. When Obi-Wan was gone, Luke went to Dagobah and Yoda became his wise man. Mr. Miyagi was wise-ard for the Karate Kid. Morpheus for Neo. Galadriel for Frodo. When you're in the darkness of the forest – the belly of the whale – look around for the wise-ard who will help you complete your journey. The wise man in the woods exists only to assist the hero on his or her adventure. 21st century wise-men-in-the-woods become faculty at Wizard Academy. Putting you together with them is why we built this place. Mark Huffman from Procter & Gamble. Dave McInnis from PR Web. Tim Storm from FatWallet.com Dean Rotbart from the Wall Street Journal. Greg Farrell from Bloomberg News. Jeffrey and Bryan Eisenberg, Dr. Lori Barr, David Freeman, Michele Miller, Kyle Cease, Ze Frank, Jean Backus, Jeff Sexton, Rich Christiansen, Mark Fox, Dr. Richard D. Grant, Ken Brand, Dennis Collins and the unforgettable Beate Chelette. Wizard Academy is America's small business institute, a training facility and think-tank for open-minded and courageous business people from around the world. The star you follow is entirely up to you. We simply prepare you for your journey, tell you what to expect on the road ahead, and celebrate your success when you find what you seek. Two or three days at the academy is an informative experience for some, transformative for others. I've rambled enough for one day. I thank you for your kind attention. As I bow at the waist and back slowly off the page, I pass along these carefully crafted words from heroes who carved their names deeply in the tree of life. “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow! What a Ride!'” – Hunter S. Thompson “If your life's work can be accomplished in your lifetime, you're not thinking big enough.” – Wes Jackson Never forget that failure is temporary, a moment quickly forgotten.  2013 awaits you.  Damn the torpedoes. Full speed ahead. Roy H. Williams

Recording this Podcast was a blast. I’ve been working with Michele Miller for 10 years now and being able to share conversations like this is exactly why I started podcasting. What really made this one fun is that we were face-to-face instead of on Skype. We were both in Palm Springs to have an annual […]

How Wal Mart Killed K Mart and Best Buy Beat Circuit City I spoke to a small auditorium full of business school grad students at the University of Texas last month. They were fascinated by my case study of Transactional vs. Relational customers. I saw their eyes widen and their heads move up and down slowly as I explained how the Relational shopping mode is the foundation of all branding. But then they all dropped their heads and started taking notes like crazy when I began to talk about Activity Based Accounting. I was startled by their reaction. I paused, then said, “You guys have heard about this, right?” They shook their heads no. These young men and women will receive their MBAs in May. I stared at them in disbelief. A man from India spoke up, “For a moment I thought you were talking about activity-based costing but then you took it a whole different direction.” I was incredulous. “You've never heard of Activity-Based Accounting?” Again they shook their heads no. Then it hit me. Joe Romano invented this and taught it to his students 20 years ago without ever mentioning that it was his own invention. I smiled. Joe has always been like that. As the years have passed, I've seen countless real-life examples of Activity-Based Accounting in action. I just always assumed it was common knowledge and that everyone else was seeing what Joe taught me to see. In a nutshell, Activity-Based Accounting is highly sensitive to trends in customer behavior. It sees the people behind the numbers. Traditional cost-based accounting reduces customers and their behaviors to an “average” or a “percentage.” If a hole is 12 inches deep, how deep is half a hole? Cost-based accounting will answer “6 inches.” Activity-Based Accounting will answer, “There's no such thing as half a hole.” Have you ever met the family with 2.3 children? Analysts who study Wal-Mart will tell you that the secret to their success is inventory management. Dig a little deeper and you'll find that Wal-Mart's inventory management is highly responsive to the activities of the customer. Wal-Mart has a men's clothing department. So does K-Mart. Let's assume they sell exactly the same clothing. K-Mart can tell you that the month started strong, then slowed down, so they pulled out their little stainless steel cart and the store manager got on the intercom and announced “a flashing blue light special.” Wal-Mart, on the other hand, knows it sold 5 Dave Hogan sport shirts within the first 8 hours they were on display and that all of them were blue. The red ones aren't selling. The next day they sell 4 more blue ones and only 2 red. Wal-Mart's sales aren't going to slow down like K-Mart's, because Wal-Mart is going to make sure they don't run out of blue, Dave Hogan sport shirts. K-Mart went bankrupt. Wal-Mart became the most successful retailer in the history of the world. That's the power of Activity-Based Accounting. Likewise, Best Buy CEO Brad Anderson implemented a decision-making technique back in 2004 that I immediately recognized as Activity-Based Accounting. One year later the success of his endeavor was trumpeted in the Wall Street Journal. Four years after that, rival Circuit City was driven into liquidation because they never quite caught on to what Best Buy was doing. Would you like to talk more about it? Activity-Based Accounting dovetails nicely into the principles taught by women's marketing expert Michele Miller, so I've asked her to give me a couple of hours during her upcoming Wonder Branding class April 15-16 at Wizard Academy. You don't mind a little extra class time, do you? Rooms are still available at no charge in Engelbrecht House. https://wizardacademy.org/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=110 (I'd snag one right now if I was you.) A couple of days in Austin will make 2009 turn out a whole lot better for you. Just look at Wal-Mart and Best Buy. (Best Buy...

When I was in high school, it was considered a big deal if you could control a steel ball under a piece of glass with a couple of buttons that flipped little flippers. The steel ball would bounce from side to side and bells would ring and lights would light up. I could never quite see the point. There must be something wrong with me. I've since learned that it's fashionable to be skilled at something pointless: carry a pointed ball across a white line on a field. Toss an orange ball through an iron ring. Drive a car in circles really fast. If I were normal, I would have favorite pointy-ball people, orange-ball people and circle-drivers. This is where I fall short. This is where I'm broken. I've never been quite sure where I went wrong. A When Did Macaroni Become “Pasta?” David Freeman asked the question. It seemed to emerge from nowhere. Tuscan Hall was filled with executives from the largest food companies in the world. He was in the midst of unveiling https://wizardacademy.org/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=184 (2 new methods for accelerated branding) when he stopped in mid-sentence and asked, “When did Macaroni become ‘Pasta?'” Then, without waiting for an answer, he continued what he'd been saying. The audience, absorbed in what David was teaching, forgot his http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/nonsequitur (non sequitur) within the span of 3 adrenaline-fueled heartbeats. For me, it was just another glimpse into the inner dialogue of a strange and wonderful friend. I answered David in my mind. “Macaroni became ‘pasta' on the same day the hobo became ‘the homeless,' the trailer house became the ‘mobile home' and stock-car racing became ‘NASCAR.'” It would appear we've chosen to celebrate the mundane, elevate the ordinary and idolize the average. I guess struggling for excellence was just too hard. A Defense of Intellectual Rigor Yes, I believe that all men are created equal. But that doesn't mean that all men remain equal. Some are givers, some are takers. https://wizardacademy.org/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=88 (Some create) while others destroy. A few people work for the benefit of others, but most work only to benefit themselves. People are not equal. Their motives, choices and actions make them large or small. Are you being large today? Please do. May I confess something to you? Do you promise not to tell? I admire people who work hard to make things better for everyone. My heroes are the men and women who struggle to create a brighter tomorrow. I know this makes me a misfit, but I don't care anymore. Are you a misfit, too? There's work to be done. Much of our world is in pain. Pointy balls, orange balls, balls under glass and going in circles be damned. Sometimes it just makes me sad. Does it make you sad, too? https://wizardacademy.org/ (Wizard Academy) is a group of strange and wonderful misfits like David Freeman, Corrine Taylor, Shaun Courbat, Jodie Gateman, Oz Jaxxon, Michele Miller, Mark Fox, Jeff and Bryan Eisenberg and You. Thanks for coming, friend. I no longer feel alone. Roy H. Williams

Last Thursday https://wizardacademy.org/jeffandbryaneisenberg.asp (the Wall Street Journal published a story) about a new book written by two of our faculty members, hinting strongly that if the biggest advertising agencies on Madison Avenue would just buy a copy and read it, they would find the answers to all the questions that have eluded them. That story was a very big deal. On Friday the Wall Street Journal bestseller list revealed Jeff and Bryan Eisenberg's Waiting for Your Cat to Bark? to be the top-ranked business book in America. Six years ago, Jeff and Bryan were regular folks. Struggling. Hopeful. Doing the best they could with limited resources. Sound familiar? Jeff came alone his first visit to Austin because the brothers had only enough money for one plane ticket. He sat in the small meeting room of our old facility with a couple dozen other people who had come for https://wizardacademy.org/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=90 (a free public seminar). Jeff and I spoke briefly that day. He shared his dream and I encouraged him. A couple of months later, Jeff was back for a 3-day class and he brought his younger brother, Bryan. They obviously grasped the essence of what Wizard Academy was teaching, so when they asked permission to expand my work and apply it to the Internet, I said, “Delighted to see you do it.” They smiled. I smiled. And in that moment I was sure of something. “Someday your company is going to be a whole lot bigger than mine,” I said. They had no company at the time. When Pennie and I launched Wizard Academy Press, the Eisenbrothers turned in a manuscript called Persuasive Online Copywriting. We published it, sold some copies on Amazon.com and kept our fingers crossed that a real publisher might take an interest and give the book brick-and-mortar distribution. It never happened. When I flew to New York to visit them in their cramped little office in the basement of an old house in Brooklyn, they showed me their fancy new coffee maker. They were really proud of it. I sipped a cup and talked about how all their hard work would someday pay off. Soon their strange, new methods began paying big dividends for clients and thousands of people began to lean forward with their hands cupped behind their ears. The Wizards of Web curriculum was born when the brothers presented us with a fabulous syllabus for a course on Internet marketing. Their second Wizard Academy Press book, Call to Action, made the bestseller lists a year ago in spite of the fact that it also had no brick-and-mortar distribution. Finally, the brick-and-mortar publishers began to take an interest. Last week's trumpeting of Waiting for Your Cat to Bark, published by Thomas Nelson, couldn't possibly have made Wizard Academy more proud. Today Jeff and Bryan's client list includes many of the largest companies in the world. http://wizardofadsaustralia.blogs.com/contact_us (Craig Arthur), https://www.wizardacademypress.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=14 (Chris Maddock), http://www.michelemiller.blogs.com/marketing_to_women/ (Michele Miller), http://www.highvoltageperformance.com/ (Mike Dandridge), http://www.freemangames.com/idea/ (David Freeman), http://www.brandingblog.com/ (Dave Young), http://www.futurenowinc.com/bios.htm#Holly (Holly Buchanan), http://juantornoe.blogs.com/hispanictrending (Juan Tornoe), http://www.hoverstudios.com/ (Thomas Tucker), http://www.slyasafox.com/NASA/ (Mark Fox), http://brandingadvice.typepad.com/ (Walter Koschnitzke), https://www.wizardacademypress.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=132 (Lisa Davis), http://wizardofadscanada.typepad.com/touch_points/ (Steve Rae), https://wizardacademy.org/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=93 (Jeff Sexton), http://americanvisionaries.com/ (Sonja Howle), http://www.newschoolselling.com/index.cfm?webid=26 (Steve...

I did a bad, bad thing. Last week's memo ended too abruptly. “Yes, selling to men can be very easy. But how does one sell to women? Ah. That is a different question. – Roy H. Williams” The phrase, “sell to women?” was hyperlinked to additional information. Judging from the record number who clicked that link, What Women Really Want remains one of the great, unsolved mysteries of man. The hyperlinked phrase, of course, took you to the course description for Michele Miller's class on marketing to women. Those who clicked her free, streaming video found the answer. But for rest of you, my cliffhanging question remains unanswered. Allow me to rectify. Women want connectedness. John Donne http://wizardacademy.org/memoarchives.asp (wrote in 1624,) “No man is an island.” But I disagree. Men are very often islands – voluntarily solitary. But I would agree that no woman is an island. Women are the connected ones, the glue, the binding agents in every family, whether a family by genetics or a family by choice. Women are the bringers of Together. “Men use language to establish status. Their measurements are up and down. 'What do you think of me now that I've said this? Am I up or down? Up or down?' But women use language to establish bonds of connection, near and far. 'How close are we now that I've said this?'” – Dr. Nick Grant, adjunct faculty, Wizard Academy “What a woman wants is someone who will listen to her.” – Donna Pinciotti, on That 70's Show, explaining why a beautiful girl canceled her date with Kelso to go out with Fez instead. In the world of women, what is romance but a thousand points of connectedness? Listen, men, and learn. My mother taught me all this when I was thirteen. She probably didn't think I was listening at the time, but it was one of those moments when that strange camera in my brain went “click.” “What a woman wants,” she told me, “is to know in her heart that someone considers her the most important thing in the world.” Study aberrant human behavior and you'll find that mass murderers are always men. Crazy women don't kill strangers. They have no connectedness with strangers. Crazy women kill their children. The cognoscenti will recall my comments on brain lateralization: “In Myers-Briggs terminology, the left-brain preferences are E,S,T, and J. The right-brain preferences are I, N, F, and P.” The left-brain is considered to be the masculine hemisphere; deductive reasoning, up or down. The right-brain is the feminine, intuitive hemisphere; pattern recognition, http://wizardacademy.org/nomanisanisland.asp (points of connectedness.) Aha. Roy H. Williams
