(Founders #242)(6:00) Disney put excelence before any other consideration.(11:00) Maybe the most important thing anyone ever said to him: You're crazy to be a professor she told Ted. What you really want to do is draw. Ted's notebooks were always filled with these fabulous animals. So I set to work diverting him. Here was a man who could draw such pictures. He should earn a living doing that. — Becoming Dr. Seuss: Theodor Geisel and the Making of an American Imagination by Brian Jay Jones. (Founders #161)(14:00) A quote about Edwin Land that would apply to Walt Disney too:Land had learned early on that total engrossment was the best way for him to work. He strongly believed that this kind of concentrated focus could also produce extraordinary results for others. Late in his career, Land recalled that his “whole life has been spent trying to teach people that intense concentration for hour after hour can bring out in people resources they didn't know they had.”  A Triumph of Genius: Edwin Land, Polaroid, and the Kodak Patent War by Ronald Fierstein. (Founders #134)(15:00) My parents objected strenuously, but I finally talked them into letting me join up as a Red Cross ambulance driver. I had to lie about my age, of course. In my company was another fellow who had lied about his age to get in. He was regarded as a strange duck, because whenever we had time off and went out on the town to chase girls, he stayed in camp drawing pictures.His name was Walt Disney.Grinding It Out: The Making of McDonald's by Ray Kroc. (Founders #293)(20:00) Walt Disney had big dreams. He had outsized aspirations.(22:00) A quote from Edwin Land that would apply to Walt Disney too: My motto is very personal and may not fit anyone else or any other company. It is: Don't do anything that someone else can do.(24:00) Walt Disney seldom dabbled. Everyone who knew him remarked on his intensity; when something intrigued him, he focused himself entirely as if it were the only thing that mattered.(29:00) He had the drive and ambition of 10 million men.(29:00) I'm going to sit tight. I have the greatest opportunity I've ever had, and I'm in it for everything.(31:00) He seemed confident beyond any logical reason for him to be so. It appeared that nothing discouraged him.(31:00) You have to take the hard knocks with the good breaks in life.(32:00) Nothing wrong with my aim, just gotta change the target. — Jay Z(35:00) He sincerely wanted to be counted among the best in his craft.(43:00) He didn't want to just be another animation producer. He wanted to be the king of animation. Disney believed that quality was his only real advantage.(47:00) Walt Disney wanted domination. Domination that would make his position unassailable.(49:00) Disney was always trying to make something he could be proud of.(50:00) We have a habit of divine discontent with our performance. It is an antidote to smugness.— Eternal Pursuit of Unhappiness: Being Very Good Is No Good,You Have to Be Very, Very, Very, Very, Very Good by David Ogilvy and Ogivly & Mather.  (Founders #343)(53:00) While it is easy, of course, for me to celebrate my doggedness now and say that it is all you need to succeed, the truth is that it demoralized me terribly. I would crawl into the house every night covered in dust after a long day, exhausted and depressed because that day's cyclone had not worked. There were times when I thought it would never work, that I would keep on making cyclone after cyclone, never going forwards, never going backwards, until I died.— Against the Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson (Founders #300)(56:00) He doesn't place a premium on collecting friends or socializing: "I don't believe in 50 friends. I believe in a smaller number. Nor do I care about society events. It's the most senseless use of time. When I do go out, from time to time, it's just to convince myself again that I'm not missing a lot."— The Red Bull Story by Wolfgang Fürweger (Founders #333)(1:02:00) Steve was at the center of all the circles.He made all the important product decisions.From my standpoint, as an individual programmer, demoing to Steve was like visiting the Oracle of Delphi.The demo was my question. Steve's response was the answer.While the pronouncements from the Greek Oracle often came in the form of confusing riddles, that wasn't true with Steve.He was always easy to understand.He would either approve a demo, or he would request to see something different next time.Whenever Steve reviewed a demo, he would say, often with highly detailed specificity, what he wanted to happen next.He was always trying to ensure the products were as intuitive and straightforward as possible, and he was willing to invest his own time, effort, and influence to see that they were.Through looking at demos, asking for specific changes, then reviewing the changed work again later on and giving a final approval before we could ship, Steve could make a product turn out like he wanted.Much like the Greek Oracle, Steve foretold the future.— Creative Selection: Inside Apple's Design Process During the Golden Age of Steve Jobs by Ken Kocienda. (Founders #281)(1:07:00) He griped that when he hired veteran animators he had to “put up with their Goddamn poor working habits from doing cheap pictures.” He believed it was easier to start from scratch with young art students and indoctrinate them in the Disney system.(1:15:00) I don't want to be relagated to the cartoon medium. We have worlds to conquer here.(1:17:00) Advice Henry Ford gave Walt Disney about selling his company: If you sell any of it you should sell all of it.(1:23:00) He kept a slogan pasted inside of his hat: You can't top pigs with pigs. (A reminder that we have to keep blazing new trails.)(1:25:00) Disney's Land: Walt Disney and the Invention of the Amusement Park That Changed the World by Richard Snow.(1:33:00) It is the detail. If we lose the detail, we lose it all.----Get access to Founders Notes ----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

Today's review covers the second half of Walt Disney's career, following up on the success of Mickey Mouse and Snow White.

Biographer Neal Gabler argues Ted Kennedy's life can be divided into two sections. The first is when Kennedy catches the tide of liberalism and used that momentum to advance liberal policy goals. And the second is when he pushes against the prevailing feeling that the government should no longer protect the New Deal as stringently as before. Gabler argues that Kennedy, despite his well-known personal shortcomings, understood the dire needs of Americans who were less-well-off than he, and that his fights for gay marriage, universal health insurance and against the Iraq War were parts of his effort to protect those in need.Our discussion about vol. 1 of Neal's biography of Ted Kennedy, “Catching the Wind,” can be found here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/axelbank-reports-history-and-today/id1521053272?i=1000502463586More information on his book from Penguin Random House can be found hereSupport our show at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistory**A portion of every contribution is given to a charity for children's literacy** "Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistory https://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

For the next few months, we're sharing some of our favorite conversations from the podcast's archives. This week's segments first appeared in 2019 and 2020, respectively.In their best-selling book “She Said” — the basis for the Maria Schrader-directed film of the same title, currently in theaters — the Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey recount how they broke the Harvey Weinstein story, work that earned them the Pulitzer Prize, led to Weinstein's 2020 conviction on felony sex crimes and helped solidify #MeToo as an ongoing national movement.When the book was published in 2019, Twohey and Kantor were guests on the podcast and discussed the difficulties they had faced in getting women to speak on the record about Weinstein's predation. They also said that their coverage of workplace sexual harassment would not end with Weinstein: “Our attitude is that you can't solve a problem you can't see,” Kantor told the host Pamela Paul. “Megan and I can't adjudicate all of the controversies around #MeToo, but what we can continue to do is bring information to light in a responsible way and uncover this secret history that so many of us are still trying to understand.”Also this week, we revisit Neal Gabler's 2020 podcast appearance, in which he talked about “Catching the Wind,” the first volume of his Ted Kennedy biography. (The second and concluding volume, “Against the Wind,” has just been published.) “I approached this book as a biography of Edward Kennedy, but also, equally, a biography of American liberalism,” he said at the time.We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general. You can send them to books@nytimes.com.

In conversation with former congressman Patrick Kennedy Neal Gabler is the author of Catching the Wind: Edward Kennedy and the Liberal Hour, a ''rich and insightful'' (The New York Times) account of the figure known as the most complex of the Kennedys. His other work includes An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood, Life the Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality, and award-winning biographies of Walt Disney and Walter Winchell. The former chief nonfiction judge for the National Book Awards, Gabler has earned a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Shorenstein Fellowship, and a Woodrow Wilson Public Policy Scholarship, among other honors. The second volume in his acclaimed biography of Ted Kennedy, Against the Wind follows the ''lion of the Senate'' as he works to safeguard progressive ideals and legislation during an era of conservative dominance. For 16 years Patrick J. Kennedy served Rhode Island's First Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he was the lead sponsor of the landmark Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. He also authored and co-sponsored dozens of bills aimed at treating neurological and psychiatric disorders and served on numerous committees and subcommittees, including the House Appropriations Committee, the Subcommittee on Labor, and the Subcommittee on Veterans Affairs. The founder of The Kennedy Forum, a nonprofit dedicated to transforming mental health and addiction care, Kennedy is also the founder of the parity rights advocacy group Don't Deny Me, the co-founder of the online learning platform Psych Hub, and is the co-chair of the Action Alliance's National Response to COVID-19, among many other public health groups. In 2015 he co-authored with Stephen Fried the New York Times bestseller A Common Struggle, a roadmap to health equity in the United States based on his personal and professional experiences.

"Against the Wind: Edward Kennedy and the Rise of Conservatism, 1976-2009" completes Neal Gabler's magisterial biography of Ted Kennedy, but it also unfolds the epic, tragic story of the fall of liberalism and the destruction of political morality in America.

There are many people with TV shows named after them, but only a few have entire networks, and only Walt Disney transformed American culture.

Today, we will talk about a rarely discussed topic: the intersection of money and shame.  I first got interested in this when I read an article in 2016 by Neal Gabler in the Atlantic titled "The Secret Shame of the Middle-Class", as it resonated with me both professionally and personally.   I've had my share of making shameful mistakes in my own finances, and, similarly, my clients and prospects too beat themselves up for it. In this episode, we get raw and real with Katherine Lankford to talk about experiencing a mortgage trifecta during the meltdown of 2008 when she had to close down her mortgage business, make a short sale, a deed in lieu of foreclosure all in a short time frame. This is one episode you don't want to miss! Watch Her Money Story — THE SECRET SHAME OF MONEY MISTAKES with Katherine Lankford ▶️ Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️  We need to stop whispering & start talking about financial failures to help other people. When she was going through the mortgage trifecta in 2008, Katherine Lankford asked herself how a smart, educated woman like herself ever ended up in that situation. She shares her mindset to survive, how she turned around her situation, threw off the shame, and is now thriving. ✔️  So many of us were never taught financial literacy when we were younger. We've seen and experienced how money mistakes have made entire generations poor quality of life. Today, there is more focus on starting financial education programs for children. Teaching how to budget, save, eliminate debt and start investing has become essential life skills. Don't wait until you are 30, 40, 50 or 60 to learn hard lessons; instead, look at the experience and mistakes of others and take charge of your financial habits now. ✔️ Some people try to hang on for so long to their properties and end up relinquishing even more money than they had to lose. It would be best if you cut your losses to go out less hurt in dire situations. ✔️  It takes time, intention and being fierce about protecting your credit and rising back up. There is no quick fix to everything. Through study and implementing financial strategies, Katherine was able to pay off thousands of dollars of credit card and student loan debt, build up her savings, and increase her credit score.    ________________________________________________________________ Felicia Gopaul, CFP, is the Premier Women's Wealth Builder  dedicated to your financial success!

We are both from Orlando and grew up around Disney. It is part of our culture, as it is for many Millennials who grew up watching classic Disney films. Today we discuss the The Disney Renaissance (aka The Disney Decade), lasting from 1989-1999, and examine the religious themes of four Disney films: Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

As a child in Missouri, he was held back several years in school and deemed the “second stupidest” student in his class. As an adult, he had many business failures and was hopeless at managing money. He ended up becoming one of the most successful creative visionaries of all time. In this episode, Richard and Sam discuss the life and leadership of Walt Disney.

The story of liberalism isn't often told, especially as the conservative era has taken root. Yet, there was a key figure in the formation of modern-day liberalism who is indeed worthy of attention: the late Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy. Historian and writer Neal Gabler joins Julian Zelizer and Sam Wang in this week’s episode to discuss the early part of Ted Kennedy’s career. Gabler is the author of “Catching the Wind,” the first installment of a two-part volume on Ted Kennedy’s achievements, which include sponsoring nearly 700 bills that eventually became laws. Gabler is the author of several books, and his essays and articles have appeared in The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, Esquire, Playboy, Newsweek, and Vogue, and more. He is currently a professor for the MFA program at Stonybrook Southampton.

Kerri Greenidge discusses two books about African-Americans in the years before the Civil War, and Neal Gabler talks about “Catching the Wind,” his biography of Edward Kennedy.

We talk with Neal Gabler about his book, "Catching the Wind: Edward Kennedy and the Liberal Hour, 1932-1975." Neal explains how Ted Kennedy's beginnings were different from his famed brothers, partly because their personalities were different, but also because they grew up during different times altogether. He explains how one of the most effective and longest-serving senators of all time started in politics, but also how the politics of the moment shaped him. In this first of two volumes, Gabler describes how Kennedy "rode the wind" of an America dominated by liberal political thought. Kennedy's efforts were shaped by a big-hearted America, and aimed at helping those who needed help because, as Gabler says, it was the right thing to do. Neal's second volume will be released next year, which is titled, "Against the Wind." He has already promised to join us for a discussion on that book!His website at Penguin Random House is: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/9528/neal-gabler/Axelbank Reports History and Today is available on Twitter and Instagram @axelbankhistoryWe do want to invite listeners to our Patreon page, to ask for your support in keeping the show going, which is www.patreon.com/axelbankhistory

Sen. Edward Kennedy, who died in 2009, was an iconic figure in American politics, part of an American political dynasty that has been rocked by fame and tragedy. Compared to his brothers Robert F. Kennedy and President John F. Kennedy, Ted was considered a lightweight, who rode their coattails into the Senate in 1962 at the age of 30. Neal Gabler, author of the new biography, "Catching the Wind: Edward Kennedy and the Liberal Hour, 1932-1975," says that following the assassinations of his brothers, Ted Kennedy became the leading voice of American liberalism, championing the war on poverty, civil rights, and the antiwar movement. But his moral authority and his presidential ambitions were seriously damaged by his involvement in a fatal car accident on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969. The Kennedy family saga marked a milestone this year: Joe Kennedy III, grandson of RFK, lost to incumbent Sen. Ed Markey in a primary, becoming the first Kennedy ever to lose a Massachusetts election. Could this spell the end of the Kennedy dynasty? Gabler says it's possible "if the country doesn't want to give voice to the voiceless or power to powerless."

Join us for a virtual conversation with Neal Gabler, award-winning author and film critic, to discuss volume one of his new biography of Ted Kennedy—an immersive journey through the life of a complicated man and a sweeping history of the fall of liberalism. Gabler pursues the Ted Kennedy seldom seen beneath the well-known images of the reckless hedonist who rode his father's fortune and his brothers' coattails to a Senate seat at the age of 30, and finds a man both racked by and driven by insecurity. Considered by his contemporaries as the least of the Kennedys, his childhood was filled with numerous humiliations, including self-inflicted ones, all the while being pressured to rise to his brothers' level. Kennedy entered the Senate to low expectations—a show horse, not a workhorse. But he drew upon his “ninth-child's talent” of deference to and comity with his Senate elders to become an influential legislator. Using his brothers' moral authority, Kennedy became a moving force during the great “liberal hour” that saw the passage of the anti-poverty program and the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts. Then, after the deaths of John and Robert and the election of Richard Nixon, Kennedy became the leading voice of liberalism, challenging Nixon to keep the American promise to the marginalized, and provoking Nixonian terror of a Kennedy restoration. Gabler also chronicles how the fatal accident on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969 dealt a serious blow not just to Kennedy's political career but to liberalism itself.

Walt Disney====================================Esta semana nossa coluna homenageia o homem que foi responsável pela invenção de gêneros cinematográficos, criou personagens ícones da cultura mundial além de ser o cofundador da maior empresa de entretenimento do mundo. Esta semana a coluna faz uma homenagem ao norte-americano, Walt Disney.Walter Elias Disney, conhecido e popularizado como Walt Disney, nasceu dia 5 de dezembro de 1901, há 118 anos, na cidade de Chicago e foi um animador, cineasta, diretor, roteirista, dublador, empreendedor e produtor cinematográfico.Tornou-se mundialmente conhecido por ser o pioneiro do ramo da animação tendo produzido o primeiro longa-metragem de animação Branca de Neve e os Sete Anões (1937) além de ser o criador de personagens icônicos como Mickey e Pato Donald.Walt Disney é filho do empreiteiro Elias Disney e da professora Flora Call Disney. Com 7 anos já revelava talento para o desenho. Com 14 anos ingressou no Kansas City Art Institute. Com 16 anos, entrou para a Cruz Vermelha, onde foi motorista de ambulância. Com 18 anos retornou para Kansas City e iniciou sua carreira de cartunista de propaganda e depois passou a produzir filmes publicitários.Por volta de 1923, deixou Kansas City e partiu para Hollywood, levando um filme feito com a técnica de desenho animado e atores reais. Junto com o irmão montou uma produtora e ofereceu seus filmes à distribuidora M. J. Winkler. Produziu "Alice" e em seguida "O Coelho Oswald”. Esta empresa é a gênese da atual maior empresa de entretenimento do mundo, a Walt Disney Company.Em 1925, casou-se com Lillian Bounds, uma de suas primeiras funcionárias. Em 1927 criou o camundongo, que foi batizado por sua esposa, com o nome de "Mickey Mouse", que se tornaria um dos maiores sucessos de sua produtora. Em 1928, lançou Steamboat Willie, o primeiro desenho com som da história. Nos anos seguintes, para contracenar com o Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney criou as personagens "Pato Donald", o "Pateta" e o "Pluto”. Em 1932, recebeu seu primeiro Oscar, com o filme "Flowers and Trees”. Walt Disney já havia criado curtas-metragens e animações, mas em 1935 divulgou sua ideia revolucionária de criar uma nova forma de arte. No início foi considerado louco, pois Hollywood não acreditava que adultos pagariam para assistir à uma animação. Ignorando as críticas e com o apoio de seu irmão Roy, hipotecou vários bens e pegou empréstimo bancário para realizar seu sonho. Foram investidos mais de um milhão de dólares para a criação do longa-metragem, em plena Grande Depressão americana. A ousadia do visionário, Walt Disney mudou a história do cinema mundial, elevando a animação à categoria de arte. Com o lucro do filme, Disney construiu um estúdio, dando sequência a outras produções e iniciando um império de entretenimento, que além de produzir dezenas de filmes e animações expandiu-se num conglomerado que inclui parques temáticos, brinquedos, jogos e livros com centenas de personagens. Outros longas vieram na sequência, entre eles, "Pinóquio", "Fantasia”, “Bambi" e Cinderela. Após deixar de atuar exclusivamente com animações, a Disney expandiu seus negócios para o teatro, parques temáticos, música, rádio e mídia online. Hoje, a The Walt Disney Company opera redes de televisão pagas e tem como subsidiárias empresas como Lucasfilm, Marvel Entertainment, Pixar, ABC e Fox. De acordo com a Walt Disney, seu principal objetivo é "tornar as pessoas felizes". Disney e sua equipe sempre diziam, à época do lançamento revolucionário de Branca de Neve que sabia que todas as pessoas foram crianças um dia. Hoje, sua empresa, além de povoar o imaginário do mundo inteiro, tem um valor de mercado de cerca de 155 bilhões de dólares, com ativos de 96 bilhões e faturando cerca de 55 bilhões de dólares por ano. Há dezenas de biografias e filmes sobre Disney e seu legado cultural impressionante. Eu recomendo os filmes Walt antes do Disney, de 2015 que conta a saga e os obstáculos enfrentados na criação de suas obras e o livro Walt Disney. O Triunfo da Imaginação Americana de Neal Gabler, um petardo de quase 800 páginas sobre a vida de Walt Disney.Walt Disney é a pessoa que venceu o maior número de Óscars na história, sendo 22 prêmios e 59 indicações. Disney faleceu dia 15 de dezembro de 1966 de câncer de pulmão em Burbank, Califórnia. Seu corpo foi cremado e suas cinzas estão no Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale. Morreu antes da inauguração de um de seus últimos sonhos, o parque Walt Disney World, na Flórida, que foi inaugurado em 1971.

Eadweard Muybridge, who made the first motion pictures, was a murderer. Ezra Pound and T.S. Elliot were both rabid anti-Semites. And Picasso was a brutal misogynist who drove both his wife and his mistress to suicide. Great artists have never been angels. But as we learn more about the crimes and misdemeanors of today’s artists, to what extent can we still separate appreciation of great art from celebrating its compromised creators? Does an artist's bad behavior diminish the quality of their artwork? What does it mean for arts institutions to reject art on moral grounds? Cultural historian and film critic Neal Gabler, USC popular culture scholar Todd Boyd, Notre Dame art historian Ingrid Rowland and moderator Amanda Fortini, a contributing writer to The New Yorker, took part in a May 16 Zócalo/Getty panel discussion titled “Can We Appreciate the Great Art of Bad People?” at The Getty Center to examine how, and whether, we can value the art of rogues and criminals.

Pick up any celebrity magazine in any grocery store line and the people gracing the cover were almost certainly unknown five years ago and most likely will be forgotten in another five years.  Such is the transitory nature of celebrity culture today. Of course there are exceptions.  Mostly these exceptions are celebrities that are famous not just for being famous, but because they have given the public something unique in terms of their art, their personality and the narrative of how they achieved their fame.  Such is the case with Barbra Streisand. Biographer Neal Gabler gives us a the big picture in Barbra Streisand: Redefining Beauty, Femininity, and Power. My conversation with Neal Gabler:

O programa da semana de certa forma fecha um ciclo sobre o tema “gerações”. Baseia-se num artigo do jornalista Neal Gabler publicado no jornal The New York Times que de certa forma explica o que aconteceu com o mundo após a instituição da “Aldeia Global” de Marshall McLuhan: atropeladas pela necessidade de busca de audiência, faturamento e entretenimento, as idéias acabaram! É um programa reflexivo, com texto pesado mas absolutamente necessário para quem se preocupa com o emburrecimento generalizado. Na trilha sonora Ivan Santos, a Banda Selton e Cidade Negra, Almir Sater e Lenine. Apresentação de Luciano Pires.

Neal Gabler discusses his biography, "Walt Disney: The Triumph Of American Imagination". Gabler explains why - 100 years after Disney's death – his art and enterprise still have an influence on virtually all aspects of our culture, including Broadway.
