Podcast appearances and mentions of Peter Roberts

Peter Roberts from Trinity Church Everton preaches about Jesus, our Great High Priest.

"I had a singleness of purpose... if we're gonna rebuild America, it has to start with the denim and boots. It's the only other thing that undeniably unites humanity besides our DNA.”  In a world dominated by corporate greed and outsourcing, can American manufacturing make a comeback? Is it possible for a modern entrepreneur to revive lost craftsmanship and take on industry giants like Levi's? Many of us feel disconnected from the values of grit, community, and perseverance that once defined America. Whether through stories our grandparents told about factory work or the pride of creating something tangible, this episode speaks to anyone longing for a return to those roots. While we've all heard about industries outsourcing to save costs, have you ever wondered what it would take to revive those lost skills and make something entirely in the USA?   Exploring a bold vision to restore American manufacturing and the determination it takes to prove the doubters wrong. You'll hear how one man went from cutting down trees in the woods of Maine to building a thriving apparel empire—all built on U.S. soil. It's a journey of grit, innovation, and an unwavering refusal to settle for the status quo.  We'll dive into the story of building a brand committed to ethical capitalism and American manufacturing. From rediscovering forgotten skills to making bold decisions that defy industry norms, this is a masterclass in vision and perseverance. You'll learn about the fight to revive craftsmanship, what it means to create a legacy-focused business, and why refusing to compromise can lead to a competitive edge.  Peter Roberts is a visionary entrepreneur who risked everything to found Origin, a company dedicated to manufacturing apparel and footwear from “dirt to shirt” entirely in America. Starting with a timber frame factory in the woods of Maine and a dream, Peter has grown Origin into a $200 million powerhouse. Along the way, he revived a historic denim factory, now producing over a million pairs of jeans annually, and brought life back to an industry that was on the brink of extinction.  With nearly 400 employees and a commitment to producing every product in America, Peter isn't just building a business—he's rebuilding an industry. Known for his hands-on approach, respect for history, and sharp business instincts, Peter is paving the way for future generations while proving that innovation and tradition can coexist. His mission? To bring blue jeans back as a symbol of American resilience and freedom.  Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.

This episode of Research Like a Pro focuses on the DNA features available on Wikitree, with guest Emmaline MacBeath, a genetic genealogist, explaining them. Diana and Nicole, discuss with Emmaline the various DNA tools and functionalities on Wikitree. One key feature is the ability to mark relationships as "DNA confirmed" by providing evidence from DNA matches. Users can also record the DNA tests they've taken on their profiles, which propagates to ancestors and descendants within a certain genetic distance. WikiTree displays connections to other members who have taken the same DNA tests, enabling comparisons. Another useful tool is the "DNA Descendancy View," which lists an ancestor's descendants and indicates those who have taken DNA tests. This helps identify potential test-takers for specific lineages. The "Relationship Finder" allows users to explore how they are related to others, even triangulating relationships using multiple matches. Emmaline highlights the privacy controls on WikiTree, enabling safe sharing of DNA information. The "G2G Forum" provides a community space to ask questions and seek assistance with DNA interpretations. Overall, WikiTree offers a range of collaborative DNA features to enhance genealogical research and connect with genetic cousins. This summary was generated by Claude.ai.

Send us a Text Message.Back with another one of those block-rocking themes! All of this episode's songs center on laughter, but very few of our subjects this week seem too mirthful. The first funny guy is "Ho Ho Rock n' Roll" by Peter Roberts & Sid Ramin. This 1956 tune is mostly instrumental, featuring the goofy guffaws of broadcaster PB set to a "Las Vegas Grind" arrangement. The second stand up song is "Laughing at Me" by Barbara J & The Silver Slippers. A sweet, if paranoid doo-wop/girl group number that introduces the motif of schadenfreude to the assembled students. Next up is "Laugh Laugh" by The Beau Brummels, an undisputed 60s classic and a textbook example of BUG MUSIC!! We're in the garage for the next two: "I'll Laugh at You" by The Jesters from 1966 and appropriately, "The Last Laugh" by The Cholos. It was only a theme!!

Throughout much of the 21st century thus far, the common argument among military pundits was that war has or will soon be radically changed in manners that exist beyond imagination. The main catalyst for such extraordinary changes would be new advancements in technology and weaponry. With the on-going war in Ukraine, one fundamental surprise that has stunned many military analysts is that in spite of major technological advancements such as drones and open-source intelligence (OSINT) via social media, the main character of the conflict seems more akin to World War I (1914-1918) style trench warfare. What can explain this perplexing paradox? Peter Roberts and Paddy Walker explain in their co-authored book War's Changed Landscape?: A Primer on Conflict's Forms and Norms (Howgate Publishing Limited, 2023) that all change in war is often outweighed by continuity in military history. Even when change does occur, it is often a slow evolution of norms rather than a sudden rupture. The role of technology in such is often grossly exaggerated in the popular media. Peter Roberts is a Senior Associate Fellow for the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), having been Director of Military Sciences there between January 2014 and November 2021. Paddy Walker is Managing Director of the Leon Group, a senior research Fellow in Modern War Studies at The University of Buckingham, an Associate Fellow at RUSI and previously London chair of NGO Human Rights Watch. Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar whose research areas are related to Civilizational Analysis, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, military history, War studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, as well as Russian and East European history.

It's interesting that Australia is poised to vote on giving First Nationsl people a voice to parliament, but for many of us we are not familiar with the voices around us. How many of us know our neighbours or interact regularly with people in our community, stopping for a chat and a shared experience? In this episode, our political pundit, Robert Godden returns to "read the tea leaves" of where Australia is at regarding voter intention for the October 14, 2023, referendum. This segment will either age really well or age really poorly. Then, we hear a number of voices from people who have gathered at the weekly, Friday night, open mic evenings at Carob and Hare in the main street of Kanmantoo. The Carob business owners and curator of these community events, Donna Twycross, takes Steve on a journey through Carob, and then expands on her vision for regular community nights at her venue. We also hear from Stevie Ray Wonder (MC for the Friday night events), Kathryn and Peter Roberts (local residents), and Garry Duncan (artist). The SA Drink Of The Week in this episode is a Gipsie Jack Cabernet from Langhorne Creek. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, our featured artist is another performer from Carob and Hare, Rod Mitchell, who is one half of the collaboation, BW4.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concisepage Running Sheet: The Voice And The Voices: From The Referendum To Community Friday Nights At Kanmantoo 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:04:41 SA Drink Of The Week 2019 Gipsie Jack Cabernet. This wine is the "house red" at Carob and Hare and is an intriguing drop, over-delivering on value with every sip. 00:08:54 Robert Godden and The Voice Referendum Our political commentator, Robert Godden, joins Steve to read the tea leaves of where Australia is at as it approaches the October 14, 2023, referendum on The Voice. 00:39:44 Donna Twycross, Carob and Hare, and the people and performers of Kanmantoo Every Friday night from 5.30-ish until 9-ish, locals and visitor amble in to Carob and Hare on the main street of Kanmantoo, to eat simple food, have a drink, and either listen to or perform music (or both), with an environment of inclusive warmth. The mystical and energetic conjurer of this gathering is the owner of Carob and Hare, Donna Twycross. Donna fell in love with carob when she was in her teens because it tasted great (to her) and met her needs of being a healthy addition to her diet. Today, she produces Hare Balls and other treats using locally grown carob, from our friends Michael and Jam Jolley at The Australian Carob Co. in Booborowie, South Australia. As you'll hear in the discussion, carob is a sweet edible pod that comes from the carob tree. It's been cultivated for over 4000 years and if you get good pods, it tastes very good. That wasn't Steve's experience growing up, but Donna helps put that into perspective. Aside from her carob business, Donna explains the rationale for the weekly community gatherings she hosts, as well as special, monthly, Saturday night themed events. She also shares a sneak peek into her new, Sunday afternoon events themed around Alice in Wonderland, should you happen to visit Kanmantoo from mid-October onwards. In this chat we also meet Stevie Ray Wonder (not his real name, but all will be explained), who has fallen into the role of MCing and stage managing the Friday night events. We also meet locals, Kathryn and Peter Roberts. They moved here many years ago and have reflections to share, including some from Peter who has been driving the school bus for a long time, watching kids grow as he gets them from point A to point B. Finally, we chat with artist, Garry Duncan. Garry is another local and a regular and his artwork not only adorns boardrooms around the world, silos around South Australia, and a variety of galleries everywhere, but it hangs in pride of place around Carob and Hare.​ 01:42:01 Musical Pilgrimage Our featured song this episode is Plague Of Monsters by BW4. BW4 is a partnership between Steve Hearne and Rod Mitchell. Rob Performed at Carob and Hare, despite being a long way from his hometown of Andamooka (which is a hefty stone's throw from another source of opals, Coober Pedy, which recently featured on The Adelaide Show). BW4 is named after a redundant microwave tower on the Stuart Highway just south of Pimba because Rod was fascinated by Central Australian deserts and disputed Australian History. That note makes this song more relevant than ever because The Voice debate has seemed to release angels as well as monsters as people reflect on what the referendum is all about.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former UK Chief of Defence Staff General David Richards talks to Peter Roberts about how important training is in generating a capable and lethal military force, and whether technology can substitute for live field exercises. General David's former experiences in integrating computers and simulation into training and education is illuminating, but comes with a warning that simulation alone cannot replace time in the field, at sea, or in the air: something no one in industry believes and yet has become fashionable for military and political leaders to gravitate towards. Recounting his experience during a former period of great power competition and preparing for conventional combat on a grand scale, General David talks through the pressures on budgets and why training becomes a "quick saving" but, in capability terms, cutting training and education budgets is not only a false economy but ultimately dangerous.

In today's episode, Andy & DJ are joined in the studio by the founder of Origin USA, Peter Roberts. They discuss the history of manufacturing products in the United States, the impact entrepreneurs can have on society and culture, and why America should not rely on other nations for its goods and services.

In today's episode, James speaks to Max Cotton, an endurance athlete, fitness tech entrepreneur, and former professional mixed martial art fighter based in the UK.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has added a new condition to the operating licence of a Kanmantoo-based fertiliser producer, following numerous complaints about odour from the community. Neutrog will be required to have an air quality specialist analyse odour monitoring and modelling data and will have to identify measures by September 9 to take to reduce the smell. A two-decade long campaign against Neutrog by community spokesperson Peter Roberts has ramped up in recent months, particuarly following a major expansion of the plant in the past two years, which he says has created a 'stentch' that significantly worsens the lifestyles of residents and businesses. He joins Jennie Lenman to discuss the issue and respond to the latest EPA directive.

As the Iranian proxy in Yemen, the Houthi's have evolved from a guerrilla organisation to one capable of facing down a first-world military and becoming adept with ballistic missiles, maritime warfare, and influence operations in Western capitals. In this episode, Peter talks to Dr Michael Knights about what an effective – if morally dubious – ‘train and assist' mission looks like when conducted by an adversary. It's not just about what you weapons you fight with, it's about how you fight and who (and how) they support you, ending with the lesson that military power is no absolute; it is only relative to the enemy.

From Sun Tzu to Admiral Hyman Rickover, great military leaders really understood logistics and supply. Yet by outsourcing so much to industrial partners, have Western militaries introduced disproportionate risk to their operations? By rethinking these variables, Joann Robertson talks to Peter Roberts about how logistics could become the elusive advantage that Western militaries have been seeking.

When Russia invaded Georgia in 2008, Moscow annexed 20% of Georgia's sovereign land space using traditional military force. Over the subsequent 13 years, however, Georgia has been subject to constant political, economic and societal coercion as Moscow tries to steer Tbilisi into the Russian sphere of influence. The tradecraft used by Moscow might simply be an evolution of what we previously knew as 'active measures', but – as Georgian analyst Natia Seskuria tells Peter Roberts – it certainly feels new.

Peter Roberts talks to RUSI Research Fellow for Airpower and Technology Justin Bronk about the realities of aircraft availability for contemporary operations, and the risk that Western air forces may ‘design themselves into irrelevance' because of a flawed set of assumptions about force generation for peacetime duties that just don't work in combat.

In facing down China, Australia is having to make some audacious decisions. Australian defence expert Malcolm Davis from ASPI talks to Peter Roberts about how Australia has been dealing with economic and political coercion from China's Communist Party, and what this has meant for military capabilities, alliances and postures as Australia has become a hemispheric actor of significance.

Peter Roberts, Professor of Organization & M anagement at Emory University's Goizueta Business School, was founding academic director of Social Enterprise @ Goizueta. He joined The Goizueta Effect Podcast to explore the vast inequities between growers and retailers/roasters, how historical movements like colonialism and slavery have shaped the origins of this industry, and what role climate change and the pandemic are playing today. He also delves into how consumers, roasters, and retailers can work together to balance the scales. Peter also serves as the academic director of specialty coffee programs for The Roberto C. Goizueta Business & Society Institute.His research focuses on how the behavior and performance of organizations evolve over time. His current projects focus on social entrepreneurs and accelerators, microbusiness development, and the global specialty coffee industry. He has been featured in the Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Bloomberg, Food and Wine, and Salon. The Magnitude of the Coffee Industry By the Numbers  In 2019, roughly two-thirds of American adults drank coffee every day.  Over the past 30 years, the specialty coffee market has expanded exponentially and now accounts for up to 40% of all coffee consumed.   In 2020, the coffee market was valued at more than $102 billion.   With 25 million families around the world responsible for growing coffee, the economic and social impacts of this industry are broad and deep.   Evolution of the Coffee Industry The global coffee industry has always been characterized by stark contrasts. Retailers, roasters, and importers often do very well financially, while those who grow coffee struggle to break even.  This is not a new phenomenon. The coffee industry only exists because of colonialism and slavery. Originally, coffee was not grown in Central and South America, but when Europe and the United States started consuming inordinate amounts of coffee, coffee plants and people were brought from Africa.  In the late 1800s, formal slave owning and colonialism went out of fashion. At this point, global markets kicked in, and coffee became a lucrative way for middlemen, such as roasters and sellers, to maintain low coffee grain prices.  Major brands like Folgers and Maxwell House dominated the first wave of coffee consumption, then Peet's and Starbucks and Caribous set up a second wave of coffee. Recently, the third wave of coffee has become popular, which is the movement focusing on small, micro lot-oriented, and direct-trade roasters.  While coffee has often been lucrative for retailers and roasters, most coffee producers in the world are not able to cover the cost of production. From Bean to Cup Consumers often assume that all the magic happens in a coffee shop. However, the people that work on coffee farms, or in beneficios, pour a lot of skill, talent, work, and time into the production of coffee. Before coffee is roasted, it's a bean. Before that, it's a cherry. And prior to this, it's on shrubs. Before the beans are ready to be harvested, the grower cares for the plant for at least three to four years. Often, at least 25 sets of hands play a role in shaping a single pound of coffee.  Coffee growers handle much of the heavy lifting and shoulder much of the risk. However, the payoff is not even. On the retail end, $15-$20 is a reasonable per-pound price for specialty coffee, but the median price that coffee growers receive is just $2.60.   Specialty Coffee Production Exchange grade coffee or commercial/commodity coffee has fairly low standards for quality, which allows for many defects. However, specialty coffee must secure a grade of at least 81, which involves cupping and scrutinizing all of its elements. This product cannot feature green beans that would change its flavor profile. The coffee has to be picked, processed, and sorted multiple times. The world of specialty coffee involves high quality expectations. All of that extra work needs to be paid for. The Effect of Climate Change on Coffee Growing Coffee production is impacted by many external forces, including climate change. In the next 20 years, 60-70 percent of the land that currently grows coffee may become ill-suited for cultivation.  For instance, in Nicaragua just a decade ago, coffee farmers set their watches by when the weather changed from wet to dry to determine when it was time to pick coffee. Now, the weather is variable, which makes it difficult for farmers to grow. Economic and social mobility proves difficult for coffee farmers who don't have hefty savings. If we don't start valuing the work that goes into coffee, paying the people that do the work, accounting for some of the investment and risk, we may not have enough coffee to satisfy demand in 10 or 20 years. Rural communities are oriented around growing and selling coffee, so their economy is built around their core industry. Farmers who are looking ahead to an unsure future can invest in climate change adaptation, using concepts such as shade-grown coffee, which shifts conventional agriculture back to growing coffee in forests. Organizations such as The Nature Conservancy are exploring coffee growing as a form of reforestation. If we can figure out how to pay farmers for growing excellent coffee the right way, there is a built-in incentive for people to reforest, contributing to both adaptation and mitigation of climate change. The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Buying Patterns, Growers, and the Coffee Industry The initial shock of the COVID-19 pandemic hit the coffee industry as hard as the general public. The industry had several concerns: If people go back to drinking coffee at home, then would they stop drinking better-produced or specialty coffee? What happens to local retailers and coffee shops? What price would consumers be able to pay? Like many products, the industry also faces multiple supply chain issues. For instance, without shipping containers for coffee coming from certain suppliers, coffee can't reach consumers quickly and its quality decreases. Industry leaders also worry about workers' and farmers' health and safety as they grow the coffee.  However, “the new normal” did introduce a few silver linings such as subscription services. As people missed specialty coffee, producers realized that people would be willing to spend more to have better coffee to brew at home. Therefore, subscription services and online sales of the specialty shops did fairly well during the pandemic. Nonetheless, the industry is still uncertain about how the specialty coffee industry will settle down over the next few years.  Coffee Movements Create a More Equitable System Many movements over the years including fair trade and direct trade have helped drive progress in the coffee industry, but they have introduced challenges as well. Today, organizations like Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance, and Smithsonian's Bird Friendly certifications are working in the right direction. The unbalanced marketplace always puts downward pressure on prices including what the farmer gets, so the next step in the world of specialty coffee is getting consumers to pay for it. What we need is a larger share of what we spend on coffee to continue to flow back to coffee-producing countries and growers. How You Can Engage in Conscious Consumerism When addressing the issue of disparity in the coffee industry head on, the majority of the onus is not on the consumer.  Consumers have actually been paying dramatically more for coffee over the last 30 years, but the benchmarking New York C-price is lower now than it was 30 years ago. So even though consumers have been paying more for the things that producers do, we haven't figured out how to enable and empower producers to recognize their value and effectively negotiate better prices. That being said, it's important for more people to get more excited about paying more money for coffee. When looking at the wine industry, consumers are willing to spend a lot of money for a glass of wine in a restaurant or a bottle of wine in a bottle shop, and the same needs to happen for coffee. Consumers need to appreciate quality coffee and good farm stories.  While the consumer problem is being addressed, the producer problem is not. We, as consumers, expect that if you pay more, the money goes back to producers in the appropriate ratios, and the farmer gets paid. However, in the 1940s, producing countries took home about 40 percent of what consumers paid for coffee; now, it's less than 10 percent further evidence that the problem lies with empowering the producers. Educating Growers and Buyers – The Specialty Coffee Transaction Guide  The challenge in the coffee industry is that the only green price that people track is the New York C-price. The pricing for specialty coffee is still following a very low and volatile commodity C-price, but it needs better reference prices. That's where the Specialty Coffee Transaction Guide comes in. Through a partnership between Goizueta Business School and more than 80 roasters, importers, exporters, and cooperatives, the group has developed a low, medium, and average price for different kinds of coffee. The guide allows specialty coffee producers and buyers to have a critical reference point for transactions.  It also allows policymakers and advocates to determine whether coffee prices are even covering the cost of production, then use that information to drive necessary change.  In addition, many retail and roasting organizations are pledging to be more transparent and make market information widely available. For example, Onyx Coffee tells consumers everything about the producer, including what they paid for their coffee.  Goizueta's Grounds for Empowerment Program The mission of Goizueta's Grounds for Empowerment program is to provide women specialty coffee growers the business know-how, market connections, and investment funds that will allow their farms to reach full economic potential. With the help of a diverse group of advisors, including Goizueta leaders and students, farmers participate in a series of workshops and gain unique perspectives on topics like storytelling, social media, cost of production, and relationship management. Producers are also empowered with information to recognize the value of their coffees and make plans to secure prices consistent with these valuations. Participants leave with a stronger vision for the future of their farms, and with plans and connections to achieve more prosperous and sustainable businesses. To learn more about Goizueta Business School and how principled leaders are driving positive change in business and society, visit www.goizueta.emory.edu.
