I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 13th of April, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Zachariah 8:16:”These are the things you shall do; Speak each man the truth to his neighbour;” Then we go straight to the Gospel of John 17:17: ”Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” The Bible is the absolute truth. That's why when you go to a court of law they make you put your hand on top of the Bible and you have to say, “I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God”. If you and I truly love our neighbour then we have to tell them the whole truth.It's like that huge boil you've got on your arm, that tumour, that abscess. You can't keep on putting plaster over the top. There comes a time when it is ready to be lanced, and you have to take the plaster off and take a sharp scalpel to lance it so that all the rubbish can come out and there can be healing. You can't keep putting a plaster over it. You see there's no such thing as telling white lie in order to keep your neighbour happy. By the way, there's no such thing as a white lie. It's the truth.Henry Ford, the giant car manufacturer, was asked by his men if they could change the colour of his famous Model T Ford from black to another colour. He answered, ”You can change it any colour you like as long as it stays black.” Now that is how the Bible is. You cannot change the word of God.I remember like yesterday, officiating at a funeral service, many, many years ago. I knew this man very, very well. He made some very big mistakes in his life, I want to be honest with you, but one thing I do know for a fact - He loved the Lord Jesus Christ with all his heart and at his funeral I said, ”Good people don't go to heaven, believers go to heaven.” Because that's what it says in the word of God in John 14:6, one of the most famous scripture verses in the Bible. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” I said that at his funeral and afterwards a man came over. He was very upset with me. He said, “How can you say that good people don't go to Heaven?” I said, “Because that's the truth, it's what the Bible says. It's faith in Jesus Christ. You must be born again.” Now today, if you love your neighbour, you must tell him the truth! God bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.
A stealthy EV startup with financial backing from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly building a $25,000 electric truck.According to TechCrunch, Slate has been up and running since 2022 and quietly assembling a team of automotive experts from companies like Ford, General Motors, Stellantis and Harley-Davidson. Drawing inspiration from the Model T Ford and Volkswagen Beetle, the company hopes to introduce a two-seat EV pickup with a significantly lower price point than many of its competitors.
Appellations are wine regions with rules, normally associated with Europe. So how come an enviably free-wheeling, super successful region like New Zealand's Marlborough has felt the need to develop Appellation Marlborough Wine?We put this question and more to Ben Glover, renowned winemaker and proud Appellation Marlborough Wine (AMW) member. He talks about, 'ripping the beige quilt off Marlborough' and his distaste for 'mediocrity'. We also have fun playing around with AMW's jazzy new interactive wine map, tasting along to bring the geography to life through a set of delicious Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs. (You can do the same too!) Thanks to Appellation Marlborough Wine for sponsoring this episode and once again allowing us to taste and talk about one of our all-time favourite wine regions. We also touch on things as diverse as pastoral shows, the Model T Ford in black, springtime fireworks, scripture, swamps, growing pains, snow peas, 'corrupt acidity' and dancing a merry jig...Thanks for tuning in.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 11th of May, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to 1 Corinthians 15:58 “…be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord' The Amplified Bible says: ”Always doing your best and doing more than is needed.”I read a beautiful reading by Bishop Ryle who lived many, many years ago. He said: Activity in doing good is one recipe for being cheerful Christians. It is like exercise to the body and it keeps the soul in health.” Doing good makes cheerful Christians. It keeps us spiritually fit. Just like exercise, going to the gym, keeps us physically fit, when we do Christian deeds for others, it makes us spiritually strong. Remember, no man is an island. We were never created to be on our own. We were created by the Lord to help one another. There are no lone rangers in the Kingdom of God. We really need to help each other. Now, I have told you this story before, but it is worth hearing a second time, and this is a true story about a young man, many years ago, in this district where we live. He was looking for a job. He was riding on his horse and in those days the district roads all had gates which led from one farm to the other, and he heard this old motorcar coming from behind, probably a Model-T Ford, and an old couple were driving this motorcar and he jumped from his horse and opened the gate to let them go through. They tipped their hats and said, “Thank you,” and he closed the gate behind, got on his horse and the motorcar stopped just ahead, and as he rode up, the old gentleman said, “Where are you going, son?” He said, “I am looking for a job, sir.” So he said, “Well come along, come along to my farm and I will give you a job, it's right down the road”, and that is exactly what he did. That young man eventually inherited that farm because the old farmer and his wife never had any children. So, by opening that gate and doing something good as a Christian, he inherited a farm. Today, we don't do it for any return or reward, we do it because it is what God wants us to do, to help one another and to be cheerful about it. Go out today, make that phone call, take that bunch of flowers to your teacher at school, send a text message and tell people you are praying for them. It will do you the world of good.Jesus bless you and goodbye.
Former Police Federation Chairman, Maurice Morello, has told the McGrail Inquiry he attempted to submit a complaint against the former Commissioner. He says he was told by the Police Authority there was no mechanism in place to submit a bullying claim. Mr Morello, whose relationship with Mr McGrail was fraught, said the GPA was supportive but didn't have the ‘oomph' to take on the police. The meeting however was never recorded or minuted, and the GPA denies it took place. Jonathan Sacramento had the details.Members of the European Scrutiny Committee in the UK Parliament have again expressed alarm over arrangements for entry and exit of Gibraltar being discussed in the Treaty negotiations. We hear the insights from the Junior Brexit Minister David Rutley, as well as the reaction of Fabian Picardo, who has written to the Chaiman of the Committee to say that any impression that British sovereignty may be diminished in a Treaty is “abhorrent”. GBC has launched a public opinion poll about Gibraltar's future. The data gathered will be used in a new programme called “The Needle.” The poll covers questions on the treaty negotiations, identity and more, and is a collaboration with Gateway Media. Anton Calderon was in the studio to tell us more about the poll and how it will shape the new programme. And, Lawrence Riches is driving down from Gibraltar Point in Lincolnshire to Gibraltar in a 101 year old Model T Ford. His drive aims to raise funds for Cancer Relief. We spoke to him to see how the drive has been going – he's currently just past Sevilla and around 300km away from the Rock. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
After Ernie Pyle married his wife, Jerry, the couple quit their jobs and drove around the US in a Model T Ford, camping out and falling in love with the Southwest. When they got back east several months later they were broke, but looking to travel again.Pyle was invited back to his old newspaper in Washington, DC, but new responsibilities, compounded with anxiety and mental illness with both members of the relationship, soon put a strain on Ernie and Jerry's marriage, so when Pyle got the opportunity to become a roving reporter, touring the US and writing daily articles about his experiences, both he and Jerry leaped at the chance. The couple spent most of the next seven years together with that assignment, but with war raging in Europe, and their relationship suffering more and more, Pyle looks for any way to become a war correspondent.

Wheels Museum is a non-profit organization that works to preserve the history of transportation and travel, especially as it pertains to Albuquerque and the west. The museum is in its early stages and is located on the site of the Santa Fe Railroad Shops and yards in Albuquerque's historic Barelas neighborhood downtown. The museum has model trains, full-sized vehicles, a gift shop, and more. Built-in 1914 during the railroad boom, the Albuquerque rail yards serviced steam locomotives for the Santa Fe line. The yards were in operation from about 1915 to the 1960s, and during that time, the area around the railroad boomed and created what we now think of as old Albuquerque. The railroad depot created jobs, and businesses sprang up to service the railroad's travelers as well as those who worked at the yards. The Alvarado Hotel was nearby until it was destroyed in the early 1970s. Rail related businesses thrived for the decades that the trains ran. Current plans are underway to restore the yards, with long term and short term goals. One of the first things to open will be a blacksmithing shop where visitors can see the dwindling art and its craftsmen. The Wheels Museum will be part of the area's renaissance. In the meantime, the Wheels Museum is gathering artifacts to house within its large, airy space. The museum has on display wooden wheel carriages, horse buggies, gas pumps, wagons, carts, cars, model railroads, and even a locomotive or two. The museum is home to the central idea of transportation in Albuquerque, and how that evolved over time. So a model of a horse might stand next to a Model T Ford, which are not too far away from a Mobil Oil sign of a red-winged horse, which could be found at gas stations up and down America's roadways.

New year's blessings typically include wishes for a long life. Sunday, the last day of the lunar new year celebrations, coincided with the 115th birthday of Edie Ceccarelli, the third oldest person in the world. At Alex Thomas Plaza in Ukiah, the Lantern Festival was back, after three years' pandemic hiatus. Instilling Goodness Elementary and Developing Virtue Secondary Schools from the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas offered lion and dragon dances, music, art and food for the public. The festivities opened at noon, under the pavilion as a sporadic downpour soaked the streets. To the accompaniment of gongs and cymbals, a black and gold lion opened a scroll announcing the Year of the Water Rabbit, worked up the courage to leap onto a table, and uncovered a plate of treats, which it flung into the crowd. Teacher H.T. coordinates the dance groups for the boys' school. He took a quick break between acts to explain the lion dance, as students dashed through the rain to put away their costumes and set up for the Chinese orchestra performance. The celebration opens with a lion dance because, “Once upon a time, during harvest time,” the farmers came out to find that all their crops had disappeared. So one day, they decided to use gongs and cymbals to scare away whatever had been destroying the crops. The lion dance is something like a spring cleaning ritual, to scare away whatever evil thing that might have bad designs on the crop. “So that's why, every Lunar New Year, we start with the lion dance,” he concluded. There was another kind of dancing, too. At a long table in what little sunlight there was, Dale, who teaches Chinese at the elementary and secondary schools, was guiding children through what she calls “a dance on the paper.” Calligraphy, she explained, “needs a lot of practice. But the process is very attractive to me. It's a different kind of cultivation…It's good training, to train your focus.” Dale's focus never wavered, as the orchestra struck up a tune and the rain crashed down sideways. And after years of pandemic, a little rainstorm wasn't dampening H.T.'s spirits. “I'm excited for the kids,” he reflected. “Because they've got something to do.” The last three years have been hard, but as he watched the first-year students take their places for their performance, he predicted that, “Now, we'll be able to get them coming back. You see how they're working slowly up. And I'm hoping next year and the following year, we'll get better and better.” Up the hill in Willits, Edie Ceccarelli, who's seen more new years than almost everyone who's ever lived, was being honored with a drive-by birthday parade. Lauren Schmitt from KMUD news talked with Evelyn Persico, a relative and trustee of the super-centenarian, which is what gerontologists call people over 110. “She was born at home in 1908,” Persico related. “I can hardly put it into words, what she's experienced. Her father was a very hard-working man...there were four girls and three boys in the family, and they lived thorough times that were nose to the grindstone, so to speak. He came to the United States from Italy, and he ended up here in Willits working for the railroads. The railroads were just making the racks from the city to Eureka. What they experienced is going back to the Model T Ford to now, to the space age. Edie was always a very active person…she and her siblings would walk out to the valley here and dig up potatoes for 50 cents a day…her life has been amazingly healthy.” Persico related the famous Ceccarelli tip for a long life: “A glass of wine with dinner, and stay out of other people's business, just mind your own business, and play. She had a great philosophy…the thing that's been hard for Edie is that she's the survivor. Her family, her brothers and sisters, are gone. Her daughter and three granddaughters are gone, and her son-in-law just passed away,” a few years ago. “She's the sole survivor. And that is very hard. That's why she says, why am I still here? I just say, well, God's not ready for you yet. It's hard to wrap your head around it, but spending so many years with her now, I feel like God has given me a piece of what he gave to her, because I have loved doing for her, and loving her, and knowing her, and just being a part of her life.”

I'm not sure whether you read this week's Monday Morning Memo. You know, Roy does a memo every Monday. Roy's consistency on the memo, it's kind of what really inspired me when I approached you for doing this podcast of really wanting to produce something every week and do that consistency. Now, I had a long time to catch up to him, he's been doing it for like 30 years or some crazy- Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: ... number, but there was a piece I came across in the Monday Morning Memo and you can see this going to mondaymorningmemo.com that I want to read because want to share because to me it captures the real essence of what we're doing in this podcast and also specifically why we're going to talk about the Model T Ford today. Dave Young: Let me just put a preface on this. We record these things pretty, pretty far in advance sometimes and I- Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: ... want to make sure that if somebody wants to go back and read this particular Monday Morning Memo, we're talking about the December 20th, 2021 Monday Morning Memo. Stephen Semple: Thank you for that, Dave. So David, here's what Roy wrote, but what makes them wonderful? Wonderful things were touched by someone who knew the secret of wonder and how to capture it. When you know how to capture wonder, you carry it on your head, your heart and your hands. You glitter when you walk. Isaac Newton knew how to capture wonder and he passed the secrets forward in just 14 words. Countless millions have read those words and assumed Newton was talking about himself. He was not. Newton was giving you his most precious advice. He was telling you how to capture wonder. He was telling you how to glitter when you walk. Stephen Semple: In 1675 Newton wrote, "I have seen further. It is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." Isaac Newton stood on the shoulders of Galileo, Kepler and Copernicus in astronomy. Huygens, Euclid, Henry Briggs, Isaac Barrow and math, Kepler and Descartes in optics, Plato, Aristotle in philosophy. Newton combined the insights of these men and made them uniquely his own. Stephen Semple: Choose your giants. Stand on their shoulders. Repurpose the proven. Vincent Van Gogh stood on the shoulders of Monticelli and Hiroshige long after they were dead. They taught him how to paint. He studied their paintings, captured their wonder and made it his own. Johnny Depp stood on the shoulders of Pepe Le Pew, the cartoon skunk and Keith Richards, The Rolling Stones. They taught him how to capture our Captain Jack Sparrow. Depp studied their mannerisms, captured their wonder and made it uniquely his own. Stephen Semple: Roy says he stands on the shoulders of John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, Tolkien, Paul Harvey and Robinson. They taught him how to write.

On October 1, 1908, an advertisement appeared in newspapers around the country. That advertisement, although not front page news at the time, changed the world of transportation in the United States. That advertisement announced the sale of the first Model T Ford -- the first car meant to be affordable for everyone. What else was being reported around the country on the same day?

How many people can you fit in a Volkswagen Beetle, the people's car? The current world record is 20. Designed by Porsche, commissioned by Hitler, marketed by a Jewish agency, and adopted by the Hippies. The crazy story of the success of the VW Beetle and marketing used in the US market. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients, so here's one of those. [Royal Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Stephen, when I was a kid there were all kinds of people, they were doing contests like see how many people you can cram into a phone booth, and another one was how many people can you cram into a Volkswagen Beetle? This is back in the sixties and seventies. Stephen Semple: It was like the clown car. Dave Young: Exactly, it was like, how many high school kids can we cram into this tiny little car? And then there were people that would disassemble them and put them back together inside the high school, or upon the roof. Stephen Semple: That's right. Dave Young: So when you said what you said today you wanted to talk about the story of Volkswagen I'm like cool, that little car has so many stories. Stephen Semple: And here's the crazy thing about Volkswagen, about the Beetle, This was a car that was dreamt up by Adolf Hitler. Dave Young: Oh God, yeah. Stephen Semple: That was promoted by a Jewish advertising agency and adapted by hippies. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: How was that even possible? It's a crazy story. And the other thing that's amazing about the VW Beetle, the Beetle did something that had never been done before, and hasn't been repeated again since, is that it beat the Model T Ford as the most produced car ever. And we think about Volkswagen as this big multinational business, but we're going to go right back to the early days, because the story of the VW Beetle, I mean a movie should be made. Dave Young: In German, it's people's car, people's wagon, right? That's volks is- Stephen Semple: Yeah, it's the people's car. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Exactly right, exactly right. But the whole idea started before World War II, and we're going to go really back into those days, even before it was a car. When you think about this being an icon of the counter culture, it's almost unbelievable. So Hitler was a big car buff, he was a really big car buff, and the idea of that Volkswagen was created by Adolf Hitler. And what he saw in Germany at the time, so this is pre-World War II, this is between World War I and World War II, that cars were only for rich people in Germany, and he wanted to make material things available to the everyday person, this was one of his goals. Stephen Semple: And so before the war, what Hitler saw when he looked to the US is he saw a higher standard of living when he looked at the US, he saw inexpensive consumer items, radios, TVs, refrigerators, cars were owned by regular everyday folks. And he was a big admirer of Henry Ford. Dave Young: That was a mutual relationship, wasn't it? Stephen Semple: That was a mutual relationship, a lot of people forget that it was a mutual relationship. And in 1927, 80% of all cars owned were owned by Americans. Dave Young: Oh wow, okay. Stephen Semple: 80% of all cars were owned by Americans in 1927. So Hitler wanted a car for the people, that's what he wanted to do. He hired Ferdinand Porsche, yes, that Porsche. Dave Young: That guy. Stephen Semple: To design a car, but he wanted something that was affordable and reliable.

On this episode we are going to talk about some influential women in motorcycle history. Since I have started reading about the history of Indian Motorcycle, I got curious. Motorcycling is a male dominated activity, but more and more women are joining the riding community each year. So, when did women start riding motorcycles? Today I took a ride. Big surprise there huh?! My son finally got his big brother's bike fixed and road worth again so of course we had to ride to brunch. Then we parted ways because he's a teenage boy and had to go show his friends his motorcycle, so I went and did a few things. As I was getting close to home, like literally around the corner, I remembered taking my first big step in riding. I guess you could say it was a beginner's milestone. My block is actually 2 smaller blocks chunked off from a bigger block. Then there are a bunch of those bigger blocks that make up this section of the neighborhood. It's about 2 and a half miles to go all the way around this chunk. I was thinking about when I was finally brave enough to ride around this chunk of blocks. The speed limit is a whopping 30 miles and hour. I felt joy and exhilaration overcoming that next obstacle and getting more comfortable on the road. So today as I was coming home, I remembered all those feelings and decided to ride that ride again. I thought about how nervous I was coming to a stop at all 6 of the stop signs. I remember waiting for traffic because I was unsure of my ability to get going and up to speed. I laughed at myself thinking how far I have come. It was fun to think about the past and see all I have accomplished. And once again I thought about other women motorcyclists. Seriously, when did women start riding? Recently I talked about the beginnings of the Indian Motorcycle Company. FYI there is so much more to that history, but that's for future episode. Anyway, as I was reading, I was wondering where all the ladies were. Yeah! Where are the women that made motorcycle history? Well, they are out there, just harder to find. But I have been doing some digging. You know what I found out? Women started riding immediately. Motorized bicycles came out and women started riding. Motorcycles were never a men's only thing. The practicality of them made them an ideal choice for everyone. And because motorcycles were half as expensive as the new Model-T Ford, they were preferred methods of transportation. Well, at least for a little while. Ok let me take you back and tell you a smidge of Indian Motorcycle history to get this to really make sense. Between 1901 and 1916 Indian Motorcycle increased its success 10-fold. They were on top of the motorcycle game in every capacity, and not just in the United States but around the world. It was around 1916 that Indian modified its engine and thus the Powerplus was born. Basically, they added metal to the combustion chamber creating turbulence that increased power. That's the cliff notes version. The VanBuren Sisters Anyway, this Powerplus motorcycle is what a set of sisters used to ride across the country to prove that women could help in the war efforts. Adeline and Augusta VanBuren figured that if they could prove that women could ride through the hardships of crossing the treacherous country from New York to California then they could help the war efforts as dispatch riders. This would allow more men to fight in positions women could not. These women were the first to ride a motorized vehicle up Pike's Peak and encountered countless hardships along their journey. Unfortunately, media only reported on the amazingness of the motorcycle and glossed over what these two ladies had done in 1916! However, because women didn't have the right to vote, this did push more women to break stereotypes and show the world that women can do anything a man can. These two women made history. They did something that not may people did, and their story is inspirational. Theresa Wallach The next woman that I think was an inspiration to motorcycle history was Theresa Wallach. She was originally from Europe but eventually moved to the United States. Over her lifetime she was a true motorcycle adventurer. She grew up surrounded motorcycles and learned to ride from some of the best of the time. As she grew, she learned wrench on bikes in addition to honing her riding skills which led her to win numerous local competitions. But this was the 1930's so her behavior was very unbecoming of a lady. Theresa did what the VanBuren's couldn't. She was able to become a military dispatch rider, but this was only one small accomplishment for her. She took what is considered one of the most radial rides ever from London, England to Cape Town, South Africa! This rocketed Theresa to celebrity status and helped her get accepted into the British racing establishment. When she came to America, Theresa became known for her mechanical abilities and worked in a shop until she opened her own motorcycle dealership. She wrote 2 very successful books about her motorcycle journeys and began teaching new riders in 1959. She opened the Easy Riding Academy and still had time to serve as the first Vice President of the Women's International Motorcycle Association. Theresa never owned a car and rode up until she could no longer see well enough to ride in her 80's. Theresa was a pioneer for women riders around the world. Bessie Stringfield These last few ladies were inspirational and truly pushed for women, but this next lady was such a pioneer in her own rights. I'm talking about the Motorcycle Queen from Miami, Bessie Stringfield. Not only was she breaking barriers for women, but the black community as well. This woman has an award in her name. The Bessie Stringfield award is granted to a person who introduces motorcycling to emerging markets. That explanation in itself should give you an idea of this woman's influence during her lifetime. Bessie's first motorcycle was a 1928 Indian Scout, which she taught herself to ride. Then she switched over to Harely, and even though it makes me sad that was a Harley woman, I have to forgive her because of the leaps and bounds she made with her riding. She began by riding all over the country, and as a black woman in the 30's and 40's that was unheard of and unimaginably dangerous for her. She would be denied basic needs like a place to stay because she was black, and reports say she would on occasion sleep on her motorcycle if she couldn't find black folks to take her in. This hardship didn't seem to bother her much and she went on to ride across the country several times before completing serious training with difficult maneuvers to become a civilian Army motorcycle dispatch rider. Bessie eventually settled in Miami, hence the name Motorcycle Queen of Miami. She got the name from riding while standing on her motorcycle. She started a motorcycle club and even won a motorcycle race. However, she denied her the prize because she's a woman. Gloria Tramontin-Struck Gloria Tramontin-Struck started riding at 16 years old. She loved traveling and was determined to do it on a motorcycle. Because she was riding in the 40's, like Bessie it was improper for a woman. This is still mind blowing to me. When motor bikes first came out, women used them so when did it become improper? Whatever, it was! And Gloria experienced similar situations to Bessie. Both ladies were refused rooms and basic necessities for their travels. Gloria continued riding and estimates that she rode at least 700,000 miles. She is a regular at motorcycle rallies such as Sturgis and Daytona and has helped to change the way people view motorcyclists. Dot Robinson Dot Robinson used her tenacity to get herself into motorcycle racing. She is credited with being the first female racer in many events, but we know that's not true. Remember Bessie raced but wasn't credited for it. Some stories tell of Dot winning races then cleaning up and presenting herself as the lady she was. This was ultimately what got her noticed and really helped to start to change perceptions of women in motorcycling, in particular women in racing. Mary McGee Mary McGee liked car racing and thought, “what the heck? Let's learn to race motorcycles because it may help me get better at racing cars.” She was forced to take a test to prove her ability and became the first woman to hold a FIM license in the United States. So, yay legal Female racer!!! Making waves for women in the sport!!! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that she began racing in the late 50's early 60's so we are still working on the perception of motorcyclist as normal people, especially women motorcyclists. All of these women played a part in motorcycle history. The Van Buren sisters, Theresa, Bessie, Gloria, Dot, and Mary. I did not do their stories justice, and there are so many more women out there that had pivotal roles. I am in awe at what these women did for the motorcycle community. I am truly amazed at their willpower to continue through every challenge thrown at them. I am inspired by their perseverance in the face of adversity. I am also a little more enlightened on the history of motorcycling. I'm so glad I followed up on women's motorcycle history. Thanks Taresa.

Feel free to share if you find this helpful! We could all learn a lot from two of America's greatest #entrepreneurs, Henry Ford and Elon Musk. Getting into the right mindset for success is about believing that you can do something rather than the constant self-doubts that we all face. During his day, Henry Ford faced steep hurdles in bringing the Model T Ford to Americans, which revolutionized the way we commute and travel even today and helped spawn the American automotive industry. During Henry Ford's day, the all-powerful special interests were known as guilds. The Automotive Guild tried to block Ford from bringing his cars to market by claiming that they “invented the car.” After being rejected by the Automotive Guild, Henry Ford kept fighting…and as well all know, ultimately succeeded in bringing fast and affordable cards to nearly every home in America. Today, Elon Musk best demonstrates Henry Ford's winning mindset by constantly beating the electric competition by delivering the best electric vehicles today. He ultimately faces stiff competition from General Motors' growing line of electric vehicles, but if history is any judge, Elon Musk will continue to believe in himself, his company, and his team in defying the critics and winning. Much of his success is due to him getting into the right mindset of believing in himself, much as Henry Ford did in his day. This podcast episode will help you focus on getting into the right mindset by learning from some of the best tips and life advice from Elon Musk and Henry Ford. You can learn more at gocheezy.com and below at the top 10 ways from this podcast for reference: 1. Listen carefully to the critics to hear what they have to say, but don't always think that they happen to be right! 2. Don't continue doubling down on a solution that isn't working. The definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. 3. Make sure you're surrounded by people you enjoy being with…of course, if it is within your control. If the workplace becomes toxic, leave it. Or try to work with others on the team to develop a more pleasant work environment 4. Learn from the successes and failures of others. 5. Think about solutions that are 10x better than anything else out there. A slight improvement is not good enough to achieve rapid adoption and behavior change. 6. Think about all the pieces of the puzzle and focus on each of the individual puzzle pieces without neglecting the others. This is an ongoing effort of personal tug of war between various priorities and your time. Never forget that time is your most valuable asset. 7. Build the right team or join the right team; it's often much more important to achieving success than the product itself. 8. Ignore the resume. Think about a teammate's character as much, if not more, than their specific technical skills. 9. Be a good person; whether you think you're an example or not, you are, particularly in a work environment. Integrity matters. 10. Learn how to tolerate pain. A lot of pain. #entrepreneurship #winning #inspiration #rightmindset Feel free to share if you find this helpful! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/henry-gindt/support
You can catch this episode of ISO on YouTube (for the moment). Warning: This episode contains major spoilers for the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Let's be honest - this episode of ISO wouldn't exist if it weren't for the classic film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. - certainly ended up with a bitter attitude towards them and accused them of all manner of shenanigans. Butch doesn't favor Paul Newman much, but it's good acting in the film. Here's Butch's mug shot: And here's Sundance and his girl Etta Place: History of Raindrops Keep Falling on My Headand its role in BC&TSK. We joke but you can actually get Manos Hands of Fate in HD streaming now on Amazon!? And you can catch the MST3K version (with all hilarity included) on YouTube. We talk a bit about the Pinkerton's and James McParland. There is a very, very mixed history around this company with some viewing them as heroes and others as despicable villains. The agent who hunted Butch & Sundance - Charlie Siringo - certainly ended up with a bitter attitude towards them and accused them of all manner of sheenanigans. Q-Ships of WWII. The amazing history of the Bandana. Average heights around the early 1900s. Ward Hill Lamon - Lincoln's bodyguard and biographer Female Pinkerton detective Kate Warne The Baltimore Plot - the first attempt to kill Lincoln? The Hole in the Wall Some of the "action" takes place in Baggs, Wyoming. Go drive around Baggs on Google's maps if you like. William Alfred Brassell (1897 - 1979) - we joke about him a bit because he reminded us of Torgo... but Brassell and his wife had 8 kids - some of whom may still be alive. His son Ray just passed away in 2017. From his photo on Ancestry.com - I assume he let his sideburns go after his wife passed in 1963. (Assuming they got their photo correctly associated with his file.) The Internet is a funny place - you can't meet Alfred but you can see his grave. Butch's sister Lula Parker Betenson (1884 - 1980) According to her obituary she: "...was active in politics and served as Piute County Democratic chairwoman for 28 years. In 1962 she was appointed by Gov. George Dewey Clyde to fill an unexpired term as state senator from Piute County. In earlier years, she worked with a traveling theatrical company and spent several years as drama director in local Mormon church auxiliaries. Born April 5, 1884, in Spry, she married Joseph A. Betenson Jan. 1, 1907. She had been a widow since 1949." Don't worry - here's a shot of the real star of the episode (below) and a beautiful example of the Model-T Ford (above). Okay - the big claim in the episode is (Per Larry Pointer) that Butch Cassidy looks a lot like William T. Phillips. Let's see them side-by-side. Cassidy (Left) and Phillips (Right): Now - in the 2012 book (also by Larry Pointer) the claim is that perhaps Cassidy's old fellow inmate William T. Wilcox was really the author of the Cassidy book The Bandit Invincible and later took on the name of Phillips. Let's see them side by side: The mouth shape, ears and chin are good matches. I'm not going to go full "Anastasia" arrow-crazy, but these two have more in common. There is a lot of heated criticism of Pointer's book - but you can read about that on your own.

Telling the story of the development of the sport of skiing in Vermont often begins in 1934, when the first rope tow, a contraption powered by a Model-T Ford truck, was set up on a slope at Clint Gilbert's farm in Woodstock. This mechanized apparatus did, indeed, launch a new era as well as a new technology in the history of skiing. But the story begins with the coming of skis to the north country that involved two Vermonters not often enough mentioned in today's skiing memoirs: Fred Garey of Thetford and Fred H. Harris of Brattleboro. For more background on this episode, visit: https://vermonthistory.org/early-days-of-skiing-1934

So, Avon, what would be the number one thing that someone should be looking for when automating their online email campaigns? Get more tips on marketing automation at dorksdelivered.com.au Avon: Keep it human. I think everyone goes automation, it's a bot, it's something that's going to do this wonderful thing for me, but at the end of the day, you're basically just trying to... You're dodging work yourself, talking to all of your customers and having the system do the same. So if you can have it do the same now, one mistake a lot of people make is they try to make a bot sound like a human, when everybody knows it's a bot. So part of keeping it human, is acknowledge it's a bot, make it kind of quirky and funny, but it's still a bot. And then in your marketing communications, just realise that they're going to know, they're going to be able to figure out that this is automated or it's not correct. And keeping it human means to me, not trying to talk or sound like a human, but just trying to understand the human process that they go through. So you might change the... Like if someone gets to two emails that are irrelevant to them, they'll often lose focus or change their mind about you. If you can have a number of... The messaging evolves intelligently with where the customer is at, then that's a very clever way to go. Josh: Cool. I agree completely. You should never automate the human elements. Automation should be around making sure that you've got a process that works. So the process that works, in my example, would be when the Model-T Ford was developed, that had huge amounts of automation although it had a huge amount of people still doing bits and pieces, it meant that there was a process to go from start to finish to make a car. And that start to finish process had a document that was around it. The same as McDonald's has a document that follows the process, although they might have a machine that automatically flips a hamburger patty over and tells you when the chips are ready, so you don't have to stand there with a timer yourself. It still means that there's an automated process, but they've got the people there to make sure the processes don't break. And that can be that it's the people that are reaching out to make sure that when you're at a certain stage in the funnel or a certain trigger has happened, bring people into the equation. Would that be a fair way of understanding? Avon: Yeah, but I would also say it goes the other way too. Like the process is there to make sure the human doesn't break. Josh: Yeah. No. Avon: I'm sure you've had staff where you go, all right, this is the job, you do steps one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. And then they forget to do step three, or they can't be bothered, or something goes wrong. So automation helps to increase the success percentage of all the little things that go on in the business that make up the end result. The other thing too is once you've mapped that process out, you've basically got a fixed target that you can make changes to. So if you need to speed it up, slow it down, you've got a baseline from which to modify, add processes in, remove steps if they're no good and you can pull stats and data, where ordinarily, you kind of had to go on gut feel if you were doing it yourself. Josh: Yeah. So once you've got those processes and steps in place, if it's not working, the beautiful thing is you can then critique it, massage it and allow for to work and refine it and split test it and do all sorts of cool stuff, yeah? Avon: Yeah, exactly. Right. Yeah. One of the big misconceptions around automation is that they think automation is always the system will do everything. Well, generally not, sometimes the system will get everything ready for the human to take over at the right point. And you might, say for example, with an email sequence, you'll know that you might get a harder close rate when emails are six days apart, instead of seven days apart. Being able to make that small change and have that data and do those split tests can have a massive impact on the way that the human actually feels on the other end of that. So at seven days they might generally feel that you're not following up fast enough and maybe at five days, they go now you're in my face too much, but at six days, it's just right. Josh: Yeah. The sweet spot. Avon: Yeah. The sweet spot. And you've just got to figure that out over time with testing. Josh: And when you go through email marketing campaigns and setting this stuff up, there's a lot of different tools out there and there's some that masquerade around as something that they're not and I've tried my fair share of ones that do not do what they say they're meant to do. You open up the box and it's just a bunch of parts, not anything that's going to be to help you build something. It's kind of like a broken Ikea cabinet or something like that. So when I've spoken to people about email marketing in the past, they've gone, "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I've got MailChimp." Now, what would you say to someone that has that sort of attitude? Avon: So the definition of a campaign is a series of processes that have actions that lead towards an ultimate end goal. Now, in MailChimp a campaign is a single email. So, by definition it doesn't do what it should do in terms of having a campaign with an end result. And the end result might be someone walking in the door view of your business, making a purchase, making an inquiry of some kind. So, you can't expect to throw a newsletter with a whole bunch of stuff at someone and then have them go fall over themselves and go, "Oh my God, I have to buy." Josh: Yeah. You have to build a relationship first. Avon: And you're talking about platforms that say I do this or that, I've been really frustrated with GetResponse. Now, some people say, "Oh, I want to just get the cheap software because it doesn't cost me much." Well, actually it ends up costing them more in development time for me to build out all of the stuff, because in MailChimp you haven't really gotten much in the way of automation. In GetResponse we have to build the email somewhere else, then go back to where the automation is and then link it up manually. So ideally like I prefer to work in platforms where you can go step, by step, by step, drill down into what the email is, go to the next step, drill down to what that is, go to the next step and you can see the whole picture. So I understand what was going on a [inaudible] life cycle story for that one customer and this is that campaign thing coming. I had to print out every email, put them up on the wall and basically make a- Josh: Make a flow chart. Avon: Yeah. Like a flow chart, like a Beautiful Mind all around the [inaudible] room, just so that I can understand the journey the customer's going to go on, because the customer understands the journey they are on and if it's a crap one, they won't buy. Josh: Well, Beautiful Mind, one of my favourite movies. Perfect. Anyway. Yeah. And you don't want to have to go to this trouble to be able to build something out there and being cheap is expensive. A lot of the time you think about what it is that you're doing. If you're trying to bring more leads in, and if that's for the B2B space, that could be a changing, putting an extra $10,000 a month into your pocket or more, probably more. When you're looking at like the B2C space, that could be a revenue of a product that it is sold in quantity and bringing in a significant amount. But either way, you've got either very, very high quality leads that you're wanting to make sure, there's few of them, but you want to make sure they have a great experience or significant amounts of lower value leads that are going to be experiencing the journey and overall, it could be summing up to an amount of money comparable. So you want to make sure that the journey is right in critiqued and has been refined and thought out. And it's also a tool that you're not jumping between, I've read and [inaudible] from this one, but I've read stories about people moving from say, MailChimp and it sounds like we're picking on MailChimp today, but moving from MailChimp to ActiveCampaign, or moving from ActiveCampaign to Ontraport, or whatever the case is and when they've done the move, their send quality scores go down a whole bunch of other issues occur because of the different mail servers that are then sending it out to you. They need to build up your rapport with the mail servers and, I guess, what I'm saying is it would be sensible to go for a tool that's going to work with where you want to be, rather than where you're at now. Would that be fair to say? Avon: I think that's a really good way of putting it, I might actually steal that. Josh: Everyone, it's on a recording. Avon: Yeah. Look, I think that really sums it up quite well. A lot of people sort of, they do that I want the cheap thing right now, but then the migration costs can be massive. Josh: Ah, huge. Avon: Definitely lose data in that, like all of the connections, the lead store value, there's stuff that just does not export. And then the other problem is once you do move everything over or even if you don't move everything over, you start bringing up things like Zapier and like a Lead Page thing or you bring together 10 tools to do one job, where there's another product that does it all in one. And you're trying to duct tape all these things together, links get broken, data gets lost. I heard of a guy who had a subscription product that wasn't linked up and it wasn't operating properly and he lost a million dollars in revenue. Josh: Yeah. No, that's not nothing, that's a being cheap is expensive, getting back to that isn't it. Far out. Avon: Very, very much. So, yeah. The two things you said is being cheap is expensive and buy for where you want to be, not where you're at. That's probably two nuggets of gold that anyone could pick up and should absolutely hold close and use that when they're making a decision about the platforms they're going to buy. Josh: Yeah. And I guess for the majority of it, now I'm just using a blanket statement here, we're not talking generally that big of a sway between the product costs. Avon: You spend more on yourself, as a business owner you should at least value your time at 200 bucks an hour. Josh: Yes. Exactly. Avon: And if you're not charging that out, you need to value it at that. And the other part is that when you spend three hours working around something with a $20 piece of software, the trade off is software was 20 bucks, that three hours cost you $600 in productivity. You opening the business, finding new employees, finding new clients, all that sourcing. Josh: You're exactly right. So we invested heavily 2009 in our first, it's actually, I lie, 2007, I went we need a CRM system. And so being the dork that I am, I thought let's just build it from scratch. I want something that's going to do exactly what I want it to do. And so in 2007, I built from scratch this beautiful system, worked on mobile phones, worked on the back end, it was a Symbian operating system, worked on a web browsers. And it allowed for any of the techs that were working with us to be able to book their time in and then it would look at the kilometres that they drove to wherever the client was from their, at that stage, home address. So it then meant that it would work out their kilometres per hour, how much it was charging, it was doing all their log books. It was doing everything for them. It was a brilliant piece of kit. And I built this and it worked great, but the problem was, it got to 2010 and it'd been working really, really well. But the amount of time that I was spending on maintaining this as new APIs came out from Google and everything else, it was more of an overhead. Now, if I sold that on to 10 other tech companies, I'd be probably not sitting here talking to you right now, I'd be doing something completely different. But it would have been a tool that we were selling instead of the service of IT. So the decision was to get rid of this tool, buy into a tool that's going to work for our business. Now, the one that we bought into cost us $870 a month. That is more expensive than most of the CRM tools that are out and about there. And I can say it was the single best decision that I ever made. You have a look at $870 a month. Let's make it round numbers, at a grand. We'll call it a grand a month, $12,000 a year. Find an employee that works 24 hours a day for you, seven days a week for $12,000, that doesn't get pregnant, doesn't get sick, doesn't go on holidays, doesn't ask for pay rises. It does all this cool stuff and keeps all of your customers happy. You're not going to find it. And I justified it to myself that way and I have had not looked back. Avon: I tried to justify it another way, because a lot of the times people just get caught up in the fact that it's software. And they're like, "Why should I pay for it? It's a thing." Think about it this way, a book keeper, so for me I don't mind doing some of the books, but there's sure as hell someone else that's better at it, that does it in half the time. And they might charge me 50 bucks an hour, but they'll do in two hours what takes me five or six. Just because they are good at it. And if you can apply that theory across over to the software, then that helps people to equate it in their mind a little bit more. And you hit the nail on the head. Yeah, 800 bucks is a lot, but you it doesn't get sick, doesn't get pregnant, doesn't whatever, it doesn't forget tasks and having your existing staff spend 50% less time doing the admin on a job, just the admin time alone of those staff could be a $1,000 a month, $2,000 a month. Think about how much [inaudible] these people. Josh: Exactly. Avon: People are highly expensive, in Australia, in 2020. Josh: Yeah. I agree completely, meat and seats costs stacks. Avon: Meat and seats, I like it. Josh: Yeah. So it costs stacks of money and you want to have them as efficient, as optimised as possible. Avon: Yeah, so this is probably a bit of win, but it is bloody hard to be a business owner or an employer of people in this day and age. Such a litigious environment, if you don't have a 1,000 processes written out, documented out today, then you can be hung, drawn and quartered and next thing you know, you lose your house. So people often don't want to hire or they don't want to have these industrial disputes. So, software again, the last few times I've thought about hiring someone I've just bought a new piece of software. Josh: When was the last time the rate to super went up for software? It's just makes sense. Software, especially if you engage someone, I guess, without tooting our own horns, like yourself or like us, that can look laterally at a problem and look at a way that this could be achieved differently. I had someone that was there editing and doing everything they could possibly do with podcasts for us and they were spending 30 to 40 hours a week doing that. And that was when we're doing three to five podcasts a week, so a fair amount of time. I went through a process of automation, so having an audio engineering background sort of had a couple of really cool bits and pieces that we could do to auto level out and do all sorts of other bits. Short of it is, we brought that down to six hours. So if you're able to use automation, now we still have six hours of people time. But at six hours of time they're doing, it's not the repetitious stuff that is mundane and doesn't add value to their life or to your business. The automation took a month of my time and I think, well, a month of my time, that's a lot of time, but it's only four weeks and I did that 18 months ago. So it's not that much time relative to how much has been saved, even when you look at what your time's worth per hour and that's what you need to gauge. If you could do it in a month. Awesome. If you can't engage someone's services that can and get and get things sorted in a way that works for your business and save you guys time. Removes liabilities. And when I say it, I don't mean firing people, but I do mean if someone up and left, where would that leave your business? So just removing liabilities. Avon: People don't like boring, repetitive tasks, that's the thing that people hate. So if you get rid of that, if you automate it, then you free people up for the more high level tasks and then their jobs become more fulfilled, they enjoy what they do, they feel as though they've got some personal growth and they want to continue working for you in a positive way. Maybe designing a new product or coming up with a new idea, all sorts of things. Josh: Yep. Well, for anyone that is listening here, if you jump across to Relevate, I'm going to put a link here, is there any certain page they should maybe jump onto so that you can- Avon: It's actually under development at the moment. So why don't you jump onto my personal page, avoncollis.com. Then you'll at least find a little bit about me. Relevate, when it's back up and running, it will be relevate.com.au. Josh: Cool. No worries. Well, I love having you on the show and if anyone has any feedback, make sure to jump across to iTunes, leave us a review, give us some love and stay good. Talk to you soon.
In 1908 members of the Bolivian military surrounded a home that historians believe was occupied by American desperados, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. While approaching the home gunfire erupted from inside. One soldier was killed and another wounded. This kicked off one hell of a gunfight that resulted in the death of both outlaws. Butch Cassidy’s life was over, nearly 20 years after he robbed his first bank. MAYBE. 15 years later, in 1924, a mysterious man drove up a dusty Wyoming road in a Model T Ford. They say he bore a strong resemblance to Butch Cassidy. This claim is further backed up by people who knew Butch in real life, I mean like REALLY knew him, including a former girlfriend as well as Butch’s own sister. They all swore that Butch didn’t die in Bolivia but in fact came back to visit family and friends in the 1920’s. So did Butch really die in a tiny shack in South America or did he successfully change his identity and live a long peaceful life? Let’s explore the mysterious death of Butch Cassidy on this newest man this took way longer than expected rabbit hole edition of Bloody Beaver Podcast.

Many are saying that in the automobile industry, there has not been a revolution of this magnitude since Henry Ford inaugurated the assembly line for the Model T Ford on December 1, 1913. Yet as with every revolution and in every growing kingdom, there are hidden costs. The post 040: Intensive Series (Episode 1 of 8) [podcast] appeared first on Become Good Soil.
Chapter 8 - Pragmatic Projects Season 2 - Episode 13 - Chapter 8 Part 1 John: Welcome to Iteration: A weekly podcast about programming, development, and design through the lens of amazing books, chapter-by-chapter. JP: This is part 1 of Chapter 8 John: This chapter is all about "Pragmatic Projects" - Teams, Automation, Testing, Documentation Code quality and more. 60 - Organize teams around functionality Don't separate designers from coders, testers from data modelers. Build teams the way you would build code. JP: It's a mistake to think that the activities of a project - analysis, design, coding, and testing - can happen in isolation. i.e. Offers V2 at OL. Leaders of a team: needs at least 1 technical and 1 administrative personnel. Always think of the business goals John: It's nice to have lots of full stack devs - They can focus more on a "Module" than a specific tech or "side" of the project. 61 - Don't use manual procedures At the dawn of the age of automobiles, the instructions for starting a Model-T Ford were more than two pages long. With modern cars, you just turn the key—the starting procedure is automatic and foolproof. John: We are developers! Why would we do ANY tedious work? Example: Github's API pulls in PR's and notes. A shell script or batch file will execute the same instructions, in the same order, time after time JP: "We may have to build the starter and fuel injector from scratch, but once it's done, we can just turn the key from then on" i.e. deploys Let the computer do the repetitious, the mundane—it will do a better job of it than we would. 62 - Test early. Test often. Test automatically Tests that run with every build are much more effective than test plans that sit on the shelf. JP: In the Smalltalk world, they say, "Code a little, test a little" -> Get those small wins and make incremental changes John: Write tests to help guide design. 63 - Coding ain't done till all the tests run 'Nuff said JP: Keeping your feature branch green! John: ALL the tests - unit, integration, performance, staging, usability, QA 64 - Use saboteurs to test your testing Introduce bugs on purpose in a separate copy of the source to verify that testing will catch them. JP: After you have written a test to find a particular bug, cause the bug on purpose to make sure the test complains John: Code coverage analysis tools are very helpful Picks JP: Husky on NPM John: Hound - It's a service

Tim Stansmore went from cats to classic cars in his retirement. Tim built a successful “Cattery” during his working career. What is a “Cattery”? Good question because I didn't know either until I listened to this interview. A Cattery is a boarding establishment for cats. Tim didn't just build any cat boarding facility, this was the Taj Maj Hal for cats. Ironically, Tim is allergic to cats. Tim and Henry talk about some of the hilarious stories of the owners of the cats. Tim says in the interview, if he was to write a book, it would be on the cat's owners and not the cats themselves. So how does Tim go from cats to classic cars? After 10 years, Tim sold his business and bought a property on the east side of Melbourne Australia. The property came with a garage, a huge shed, and an aircraft hangar. This would end up being perfect for him to store his many classic cars and motorcycles. This guy knows his stuff when it comes to cars and motorcycles! Tim and Henry talk about they many cars and bikes he has collected including a 1926 Model T Ford, 1930 Model A Ford, 1971 Lancia Fulvia and many more. Tim likes to buy cars, restore them and then trade or sell them for a small profit. Unless he gets attached to a car and cannot bear to part with it once it is finished. However, for Tim, it's not really about the money. It's about saving the cars. Old cars and motorcycles are Tim's passion. It is a lot of work but as Tim says “if you enjoy what you are doing, it's not really a job”. Tim tells a story of a car he bought and sold the same day. He owned the car for a total of 15 minutes and made a decent profit from it. So what's next for Tim? He is going to sell off his fleet and buy more of course! His real passion is old English Motorcycles and that is what he plans on focusing on in the future. Do you have a story about cars or bikes? Do you have a story about cats?

Everyone knows Henry Ford and his use of the assembly line to mass produce the Model T Ford, but very few know something else he is credited for that is seemingly unrelated and yet he found a way to relate it.
All discussions of energetic imbalances reference certain frequencies an imbalance may be similar to. A frequency is NOT the actual disease; Newly revealed Hereditary imbalances added to the AIM database; The language of AIM: frequencies and energetic testing versus diseases and lab tests; Stephen's early testing equipment, as discussed in Sanctuary, compared to his technology of today is like comparing a Model T Ford to today's top-of-the-line Mercedes; Regarding energetic detox we may feel as imbalances are healed: (1)Any discomfort is minimal compared to what might manifest if an imbalance is not healed by you. (2)As we get closer to our deepest layer of imbalances, signs of healing may be more noticeable. (3)Significance or impact of any given imbalance and the healing of it varies person to person. (4)Any energetic detox will pass increasingly quickly as you remain on AIM, and you'll soon be gifted with a biological age of 20-21.
Guest speakers: Dr. Timothy Leary and Eldridge Cleaver PROGRAM NOTES: [NOTE: The following quotes are by Dr. Timothy Leary.] "We know that typically the real changes in human nature, the changes in human politics and economics and society, are brought about by two things: By people who have a map or a vision or a model of where we're going to go, these are the philosophers. And then the technicians, the people who get together the printing presses, or the compasses, or the high technology that can take us where we want to go." "Viewed in the 1930s, when Einstein came to America, he was considered as far out as a crack dealer." "Heisenberg taught us to take the universe very personally … in both senses of the word." "So who? Who's gonna prepare a civilization of factory workers and farmers and people who haven't even got the Model T Ford yet? Who's gonna prepare them for an Einsteinian, relativistic, quantum physical, ever-changing, probabilistic universe? Who? Well you know who you can count on at every time in human history when we had to make a big philosophic lurch forward. Who always came to the front and saved the day and made us feel happy and comfortable with a new future? I'm talking about those friends of ours who have always been around when we needed them, the musicians, and the artists, and the poets, and the writers, and the bards, and the performers, and the storytellers, and, OK, the minstrels, the rock n' rollers. Right! The actors, the script writers." "The whole 20th Century, to me, is the story of how artists and writers prepared us to be comfortable in a quantum-physical world." "We're talking about a generation of people who, since the time they were born, have been inundate by data, electronic data. To the Baby Boomers and subsequent generations electronic data is the ocean they swim in." "Of course, everybody got down on the poor doctor [Benjamin Spock]. He was blamed for the excesses of the sixties, ha ha. I was glad to have him get blamed otherwise I would have gotten blamed." "The psychedelic pudding hit the fan in the sixties when the Spock kids hit high school and college, and they wanted a gourmet education, and they wanted connoisseur sex. … Gee, we said you're the best, but we didn't realize that you guys would take us seriously." "The Cyber Society is a society made up of individuals who think for themselves, linked up with other individuals who think for themselves." "The Sixties were the adolescence of the Baby Boom." Following the talk by Dr. Leary I play a short personal message from Eldrige Cleaver to Timothy Leary that was recorded on January 7, 1995. The message Cleaver was so intensely trying to convey to his friend, Tim Leary, was that he believed it was imperative that the U.S. elect a woman president in the year 2000. Unfortunately, neither of these two important historical figures are alive today, and thus we can only speculate as to what they would think about the state of affairs in 2008.
