Matt Ridley's seminal book, The Rational Optimist, has inspired many since its publication in 2010 and greatly influenced the creation of The Optimism Institute. In this far-ranging discussion, Matt will describe an early education that he said was steeped in pessimism but how later in life he found that much of what he'd been taught was simply not true. This led him to set on a nearly evangelical quest to spread the word that interaction and trade between people and nations, including the free exchange of ideas, will continue to set us on an inexorable path towards increasing prosperity. Chapters: 00:00 Introducing Matt Ridley Bill Burke introduces Matt Ridley, acclaimed author of "The Rational Optimist" and other influential books. He highlights Ridley's extensive background, including his service in the House of Lords and his work on various scientific committees. 02:39 From Pessimism to Rational Optimism Matt Ridley shares his personal journey from a pessimistic upbringing in the 1970s to becoming a 'rational optimist' based on evidence. He recounts how his research for 'The Rational Optimist' revealed that many assumed negative trends, like decreasing happiness with wealth, were actually false. 06:01 The Genesis of "The Rational Optimist" Ridley explains his evangelical motivation for writing 'The Rational Optimist,' aiming to counter pervasive doom and gloom, especially among young people. He also sought to explore the evolutionary roots of human prosperity and growth, driven by an innate curiosity about why the world was improving. 07:28 Ideas Have Sex: Cooperation and Trade Matt Ridley delves into his concept of "ideas having sex," explaining how human cooperation, trade, and the exchange of specialized skills drive prosperity. He posits that this fundamental human tendency to swap goods and ideas is as crucial to cultural evolution as sex is to natural evolution. 13:50 Social Media's Impact: Polarization and Progress Ridley reflects on social media's impact on his 'ideas having sex' theory, acknowledging its initial promise for communication but also its role in political polarization. 19:29 Panglossian vs. Rational Optimism Ridley distinguishes his rational optimism from Panglossian optimism, emphasizing that he believes the world can and should be improved, not that it's already perfect. He counters common pessimistic arguments by pointing to long-term improvements in living standards and the gradual nature of good news compared to sudden bad news. 23:56 Trust and the Pencil's Lesson Matt Ridley discusses the importance of interpersonal trust for societal prosperity, contrasting it with institutional trust. He also elaborates on the 'I, Pencil' essay, illustrating how millions of specialized individuals unknowingly collaborate to produce even a simple item like a pencil. 33:15 Gratitude, Specialization, and Daily Miracles Ridley encourages gratitude for the vast network of people who contribute to our daily lives, using the example of a simple meal. 36:50 Climate Change: A Problem to Be Solved Matt Ridley shares his nuanced perspective on climate change, acknowledging it as a real threat but cautioning against panic and exaggeration. He suggests viewing it as a problem solvable through human ingenuity, while also highlighting the overlooked environmental benefits of CO2 and the harm caused by some climate prevention measures. 42:51 The Future of Innovation: Worries and Hopes Ridley discusses the limitless nature of knowledge and innovation, emphasizing communication over population size for progress.

Chuck serves as the 2025 State of Diabetes Chair for the American Diabetes Association, and shares why and how he personally got involved in supporting the organization that focuses on preventing and curing diabetes and improving the lives of all people affected by diabetes. Chuck discusses their work in funding research, driving advocacy, providing education and building connections and networks of support. The conversation concludes with details about Camp Sugar Falls, a diabetes camp for children, and various association events focused on fundraising, education, and community involvement.SummaryGray Line Tennessee's Community Support Initiatives - Chuck Abbott, President and CEO of Gray Line Tennessee discusses the company's community-focused values and its partnership with the American Diabetes Association. Chuck explained that Gray Line Tennessee, a 52-year-old sightseeing and motor coach company with over 320 employees and 250 vehicles, prioritizes employee health and education, particularly regarding diabetes awareness. The company's involvement with the American Diabetes Association aligns with its mission to educate employees about maintaining a healthy, balanced life, especially given the sedentary nature of many of their roles.Chuck also discusses the company's involvement with PENCIL, an organization supporting Metro Nashville Public Schools, and Operation Stan Down Tennessee, which helps veterans transition to civilian life. He emphasizes the importance of giving back to the community and supporting education and veterans, noting that employees are encouraged to promote their preferred charities within the organization, as well..American Diabetes Association Overview - Chuck provides an overview of the American Diabetes Association's mission to prevent and cure diabetes, improve lives of those affected, and advocate for policy changes. He highlights that the organization, celebrating 85 years, has over 500,000 volunteers and funds critical research, including at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. In Tennessee, diabetes affects over 820,000 people, with significant healthcare and productivity impacts, and Chuck shares his personal connection to the cause through his granddaughter's diagnosis.Understanding Diabetes: Types and Treatments - Chuck and Jeremy discuss the personal impact of diabetes, with Chuck explaining the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Chuck describes type 1 as an autoimmune condition where the immune system destroys insulin-producing cells, while type 2 involves the body's inability to effectively use insulin. They discuss advancements in technology and research for diabetes treatment, including potential future developments like an artificial pancreas. Both express optimism about ongoing research and the hope for a cure.Diabetes Camp Volunteer Experience - Chuck shares his experience volunteering at Camp Sugar Falls, a diabetes camp for children aged 6 to 15, where he first became involved when his granddaughter, who was diagnosed with Type 1 in 2016, was too young to attend but could go with a family member. Chuck, who was the counselor in charge of 6- and 7-year-old campers during his first year, describes the camp as a welcoming environment where children learn to manage their diabetes while forming lasting friendships. He highlights the involvement of medical professionals from Vanderbilt and counselors from Belmont School of Pharmacy, and notes that the camp, founded in 1982, provides not only diabetes management education but also a supportive community for families dealing with the condition.American Diabetes Association Initiatives - Chuck discusses various events and initiatives organized by the American Diabetes Association, including the Step Out Walk, State of Diabetes, and Camp Sugar Falls, highlighting their focus on fundraising, education, and awareness.

In this exclusive webinar release, Paul Shannon moderates a market check with brokers Beau Beery, Reid Bennett, and Jakob Andersen. The panel covers where multifamily deals are actually clearing in late 2025, why the bid ask gap is narrowing, and how underwriting has shifted from headline cap rates to year one cash on cash, DCR, and debt yield. They compare Sunbelt supply waves to steadier Midwest fundamentals, walk through valuation reality checks sellers must face, and explain why most 2026 activity will be motivated sales and selective distress rather than a fire sale. The group also digs into operational costs, staffing shortages, financing paths into 2026, and what LPs should demand from GPs. Key Takeaways Bid ask is closing as loan maturities force decisions and rate volatility calms enough for buyers to plan Underwrite to cash on cash, DCR, debt yield first and sanity check taxes, insurance, payroll, and true vacancy before quoting a cap rate Supply matters more at scale: heavy Sunbelt deliveries pressure B assets while Midwest occupancy stays supported by limited new B stock and tight single family inventory Financing mix for 2026 will be agency for stabilized and selective bridge for assets that cannot qualify, with realistic reserves and timelines Expect more transactions and some distress in 2026, but not a broad capitulation; LPs should vet operators with downturn experience and transparent decision trees on sell, refi, or hold Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

A favorite libertarian parable, I, Pencil, portrays the market as a mystical force beyond human control, an “invisible hand” that government must never try to steer. This conversation tells a different story: how Sharpie manufacturing returned from China to America, and what we can learn about how policy can shape markets in the national interest.Chris Griswold, policy director at American Compass, joins Oren to discuss his Commonplace essay, I, Sharpie, and what the marker's story reveals about reindustrialization, automation, and worker power. They trace how tariffs and long-term investment helped bring Sharpie production back to Tennessee, explore why automation need not threaten good jobs, and explain how technology and labor can advance together in a high-wage, high-innovation economy.Further Reading:“I, Sharpie,” by Chris Griswold

"When's the last time you sharpened a pencil… and did you have to unplug a toaster to do it?"That's how this wild ride of an episode kicks off on The Ben and Skin Show, where Skin Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray hold down the fort while Ben Rogers battles a brutal virus. From hilarious debates about mechanical vs. classic pencils to the mystery of a stolen Panasonic sharpener, this episode is packed with the kind of absurd, off-the-wall banter that makes the show a DFW staple.
Since 1822, Yard-O-Led has been making some of the finest pens and pencils in the world. They've survived wars, they created the “self-propelling pencil,” and today, we talk with Giles English, about the nearly 200-year history of the company that invented the mechanical pencil and still hand-crafts every sterling silver pen in their Birmingham workshop. We dig into the artistry behind engine-turning and hand-chasing, Yard-O-Led's story of wartime survival, and what it means to carry Victorian tradition into the 21st century.We Want to Hear from You!Have a topic, craft category, or craft company you'd like to see us cover?

In today's episode, we dive into a powerful truth: becoming more magnetic and attractive doesn't require abs, money, or status—it starts with how you see yourself. If you've ever felt like you're just not desirable enough, that something is wrong with you, or that others wouldn't want to be close to the “real you,” this conversation will shift everything. Dr. Aziz shares his personal journey from years of insecurity, social anxiety, and rejection to finding genuine freedom and connection. You'll discover why your belief that you're not attractive is the actual block—not your looks, your personality, or your past. The secret? A willingness to let yourself be seen and known. And not just intellectually, but emotionally—fully and courageously. If you want more magnetism, more connection, and more real confidence in every area of life—from friendships to dating to your career—this episode is for you. Tune in now, and take the first step toward living life unhidden.------------------ Most people think being magnetic and attractive is about perfect abs, flawless hair, or saying all the right things. But the truth is, the biggest obstacle to your natural magnetism isn't your appearance at all—it's what you believe about yourself. In this post, you'll discover why your “fantasy self” is quietly sabotaging your confidence and how you can start becoming irresistible right now, without changing who you are. The Biggest Block to Attraction (And It's Not Your Looks) When I ask clients why they hesitate to approach someone, they'll grimace and say, “It's not going to go well.” Underneath that is a story: I'm not magnetic, I'm not attractive, and I'm not desirable. This story creates a trap. We tell ourselves, “I'll finally put myself out there when I'm thinner, richer, more interesting, or more confident.” That version of you—your “fantasy self”—never gets anxious, always knows what to say, and looks amazing. Until you become that version, you stay hidden. But here's the cost: life passes you by. You miss out on connection, love, friendships, and opportunities that are available right now. The real obstacle isn't that people wouldn't be drawn to you—it's that you're telling yourself you're not attractive enough to try. The Real Secret to Being Magnetic: Willingness to Be Seen and Known Let me give you the great secret right now: attraction begins with a willingness to let yourself be seen and known. Being “seen and known” isn't dumping your deepest trauma on a first date. It's showing your aliveness—your thoughts, your feelings, your humor, your enthusiasm—in the moment. It's being curious about someone else while allowing them to experience you. Most people try to connect without vulnerability. They hide behind a performance, hoping to look perfect enough to earn approval. That doesn't create magnetism; it creates distance. Real magnetism is showing up as yourself—5% more real than you were yesterday. My Turning Point (And Why It Matters to You) I know this because I lived it. For over a decade, from middle school into college, I believed I was unattractive and undesirable. Even when a girl clearly showed interest—like the first time someone kissed me at a sleepover—I avoided her the next morning. My story (“she'd never really want me”) was stronger than reality. Later, I dove into pickup advice, learning how to act bold and impressive. It helped me get dates but not real relationships. Why? Because I was still hiding my true self. It wasn't until my late 20s, when I began practicing vulnerability, that everything shifted. You don't need to wait as long as I did. The sooner you practice letting yourself be seen and known—even a little—the sooner you become naturally magnetic. Your Action Step: Be 5% More Real This week, don't try to overhaul your whole personality. Instead, experiment with being just 5% more real. Share a genuine thought or feeling when you'd normally stay guarded. Show a little more curiosity, warmth, or enthusiasm in your next conversation. It's not about being perfect. It's about gently retraining your nervous system to see that revealing yourself is safe—and often rewarding. Closing Inspiration You don't have to wait until you're flawless to be magnetic. You're already more attractive than you think. All it takes is the courage to be a little more real, a little more open, and a lot more you. And if you're excited to go deeper into these skills, stay tuned: in October I'll be leading a live, virtual workshop called Supremely Confident Conversation Master where we'll practice these tools together in real time. Pencil in the dates—October 10th–12th—you won't want to miss it. Until then, remember: have the courage to be who you are. On a deep level, you're awesome.
What does it take to create a convincing bare metal finish without tearing your hair out? How can simple pencils transform your weathering game? And is it even possible to complete a quality model in just 48 hours?In this episode, we're joined by Chris Wallace of Model Airplane Maker fame to tackle some of modeling's most intriguing challenges. Chris shares his surprising success using Vallejo metallics for bare metal finishes—a method that proves both bulletproof against masking and remarkably straightforward to apply. The secret? A proper black base coat, vigorous shaking, and a wider spray pattern that delivers smooth, consistent coverage.We also dive into the subtle art of pencil chipping techniques, where Chris candidly admits his journey from creating "airplane measles" to achieving realistic wear patterns. The key insights? Keep those pencil points razor-sharp and work from good reference photos that show authentic wear patterns. This approach delivers scale-appropriate weathering that can be easily adjusted or completely removed if things go awry—a rare second chance in the modeling world.The conversation shifts to the concept of speed builds, with Dave revealing plans for a five-day Hellcat build challenge with fellow modeler Jim Bates. We debate the merits of compressed building timelines, strategic approaches to quick builds, and how to select appropriate subjects for these time-limited projects. Whether you're a methodical builder or someone looking to increase your completion rate, there's wisdom here for every approach.From upcoming model shows to exciting new kit announcements (including Fine Molds' eagerly anticipated F-104), this episode celebrates both the technical challenges and pure joy of scale modeling. Join us for an hour of insights, techniques, and the camaraderie that makes this hobby so rewarding.What's your most challenging modeling technique? Have you ever attempted a speed build?
