This episode is smooth. I sat down with Scott McGaughey (vocals) and Dylan Ryan (piano, synth, drums, string & horn arrangements) of the soft synth-pop Chicago band BRONZE for a conversation in the green room of beloved local venue The Hideout (1354 W. Wabansia). Did I hear someone say Car Con Verde Quarto? Bronze will perform at the Hideout on Saturday, March 8, as part of this year’s Psych Fest. The second, self-titled, album from Bronze is absolutely delightful. Highly recommended for listening over a cold Bartles & Jaymes after a long day working at the mall. Kick off your Reeboks and enjoy. ## Car Con Carne sponsored by Easy Automation: easy-automation.net Transform your living space with cutting-edge home automation.

Recorded: December 02, 2024 In Episode 305 of Bussin' With The Boys, the legendary Channing Crowder hops on the bus with hosts Will Compton and Taylor Lewan to share his unique journey from dominating the football field to becoming a major media personality and entrepreneur. The former Miami Dolphins linebacker and co-host of The Pivot Podcast brings his trademark charisma, humor, and raw honesty to the conversation. Including, battling it out with Will Compton on who would win the All Black vs All White Pro Bowl, and why white dudes always make out in the clubs. Channing also discusses the evolution of the black QB in the NFL, the perception of white athletes and how merit should be the determining factor of receiving rewards. Channing then shares his mindset of how he viewed his job as a linebacker in the NFL, tells some wild pregame rituals that he shared with Marshawn Lynch, calls out Urban Myer for faking his heart condition, and even goes in on college boosters that tried to pay him to play for their Universities. All while deep-diving into his off-the-field ventures, including his journey into stand-up comedy and reality TV. This episode is packed with unreal fight stories, unfiltered opinions on Will's new Reeboks, and the kind of energy only Channing Crowder can bring.

Vid here Unfortunately this week, one of our trusty hosts Ray has caught the debilitating norovirus! Not to get graphic, but his vomit and diarrhea are leaking out of him like someone stomped a Capri Sun. He tucked his pants into his shoes and ruined his Reeboks.

Nike is still the biggest brand in sneakers by a large margin, but it feels like the Swoosh has slowed down a little in the past couple years. Where are the exciting new products? How long can Nike rely on retro? Co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss these topics in response to a recent Business of Fashion story about Nike's sluggish business. The trio also leak some upcoming sneakers (from Corteiz, Kobe, and Stash), dig into Jay Z's Reeboks from the Super Bowl, and pine for the coming Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 retro. Hosted on Acast.

This week on the podcast we are joined by... no one! That's right, on this episode Jonah and Vanessa are reminiscing about the phenomenon of going to shoe stores as a kid and trying on shoes the old-fashioned way. We also discuss real-life current shopping experiences at malls, the time Jonah accidentally wore Vanessa's Doc Martens to school and are Vans just cooler versions of Keds? We also get deep into the history and demise of the Reebok Pump, although we still aren't sure if they actually do anything other than look cool. But that's not all. We also play a round of a game called CEO TAKEDOWN: THE SHOE IS ON THE OTHER FOOT, where we examine some statements made by Foot Locker's CEO about online shopping versus going to the mall to try on shoes and explore if the company has enough "runway" and "brand awareness" to offset the inevitable demise of mall culture. (Spoiler alert: Jonah doesn't think so although he would consider a leadership position on the company's board of executives should that opportunity become available.)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anders Holm liked every sneaker you like now 20 years ago. The Workaholics co-creator talks here about his long footwear history—from getting an early pair of Air Jordan 6s as a kid to watching the Three Stripes Posse in high school to getting free Reeboks during his time in college. Holm waxes poetic on sneaker trends that have come and gone, and how he was there for it all. Sambas, Salomons, New Balances, Holm had them all. He even met Virgil Abloh in college, between getting caught up in an NCAA sneaker scandal. Elsewhere in the episode, the cohosts react to the Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 3.0 rumor and the Nike SB Instagram account taking a shot at Private Selection. Hosted on Acast.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we're Shaqtin' a fool while going places at the top of the heap. First, there's an old saying in Hollywood: “Write what you know.” Two Hollywood writers did that & after that didn't work, they turned it into a family sitcom. That didn't work either. See what happens when four actors spend 19 weeks… “Going Places”. Next, spin off your network's most popular show?  Makes sense.  Spin off your network's most popular show with characters who have made only a few appearances, and they weren't memorable?  It's a disaster waiting to happen.  Top of the Heap was the bottom of the barrel material. Finally, In the past, we have paid respects to Hulk Hogan commercials, Ric Flair commercials, and our annual favorite of hometown commercials.  We add another legend to the commercial family with Shaq commercials.  Grab your Reeboks and a Pepsi, and prepare for almost 30 years of ads featuring Shaq Diesel.

From salt circles, and iron horseshoes to urine-based potions humans across the world have worked tirelessly to protect themselves from the forces of evil. In particular curses. But in, perhaps, another sign that we live in pre-apocalyptic times, a market for cursed things has sprung up on the internet and business is good. We'll explore the curse market and all of it's amazing potential for supernatural chaos on today's show   But if buying and selling objects imbued with darkest evil isn't your thing, we have GREAT NEWS TO END ON coming up later where we'll discuss the looming prospect of nuclear annihilation. It's sure to be a blast.   All that plus the latest goings on in the world of conspiracy when we discuss THAT PARANOID STYLE   Far Off Topic is hosted by Fiasco Jones, Mr. Glasses, and TWee. Far Off Topic is produced by Fiasco JOnes and edited by command of the dark voices projected through the paintings bought on the cursed market If you'd like to support the show buy a cursed doll and mail it to Putin and see if that enough to instigate a nuclear war.

When a religious group posted a message on social media saying a new pair of Reeboks were inspired by a Satanic symbol, it got the Something Offbeat team thinking about moral panics and conspiracy theories. On the second week of our spooky season-inspired episodes, we talk to Dr. Joseph Uscinksi, a political science professor at the University of Miami and one of the nation's foremost experts on conspiracy theories, about what draws people to them, the real-world consequences they have, and if it's possible to bring someone back to reality.

Joe Foster is the Founder of Reebok. Reebok is a hallmark in British sporting history valued at over four billion dollars. Everyone knows Reebok but not enough people know Joe - the 87 year old - behind what became the world's biggest sports brand. The history of Reebok's inspiration dates back to the late 1800s. Joe's grandfathers brand, J.W Foster & Sons, invented the running spike and supplied track and field stars such as Eric Liddell. Joe and his brother Jeff were frustrated by the company his father inherited after returning from national service. The lack of innovation left a bad taste in Joe and Jeff's mouth. So they left and pathed their own way. The brothers went on to build the brand the surpassed Nike and Adidas giving Joe the most amazing multinational career. Expect to learn: What post-WWII business in Britain look like The rationale behind the name Reebok and the litigations of patenting a brand Why having Adidas breathe over your shoulder is a driver not a drain How to penetrate the American sportswear market How Reebok overtook Nike's running shoe How the aerobics boom created Reeboks first influencers and drove the brand to a billion dollars How Joe sourced a CEO/Business Partner The Day in the Life working in an organisation at that scale How Joe made the calculated decision to walk away when the brand outgrew him Joes lessons and advice reflecting on 87 years of a fulfilled life Thank you Joe for joining me again!

The Lord laid two words on Pastor Jeremie's heart the week prior to him sharing this message: Self-awareness & Prodigal. Self-awareness means having a deep understanding of one's emotions, strengths, limitations, values & motives, as discussed further in a great Harvard Business Review book entitled "Primal Leadership: Unleashing the Power of Emotional Intelligence" by Goleman, Boyatzis, & McKee (2013). Prodigal simply means reckless & wasteful. In Luke 15, Jesus is surrounded by an audience of tax-collectors & sinners, Pharisees & scribes. He seizes this opportunity to tell 3 parables: 1 lost sheep out of 100, 1 lost coin out of 10, and 1 lost son out of 2. In the end of each parable, what was lost was found. The last parable, the one about the prodigal son, is a favorite of many, and reveals how a deep lack of self-awareness can damage our perspective of the Kingdom of God, and can hinder our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Homing in on the father's reception of the prodigal son, Pastor Jeremie teaches four steppingstones towards self-awareness in Christ: ROBES, RINGS, REEBOKS & ROAST.

You've all heard of REEBOK.  Many of you own one or more pairs of Reeboks.  But how many of you know the fascinating story behind the brand?  Reebok's history and how the company evolved over the past several decades has both been a MARATHON and a HUNDRED-YARD DASH at times.  Through it all, there is one man who has been there from the beginning.  This week's guest, the legendary JOE FOSTER, has got 60 YEARS of experience he's going to share, so step up to the starting line and get ready for a run like you've never heard before.Running shoes and running companies are both in the Foster family genes.  Joe's grandfather, also Joseph W.

Foster & Sons Ltd.  The best athletes of the early 20th century used them to set numerous WORLD RECORDS and earn a slew of OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALS.  From those successes, Joe and his late brother Jeff launched Reebok in the UK in 1958.  It took another 20 years to crack the U.S. market, but Reebok did at the height of a fitness craze.  The results were ASTOUNDING.  In five years, Reebok grew ONE HUNDRED TIMES OVER, from a £9m to a £900m business.  When Joe left the day-to-day operations in 1990, Reebok and Reebok International were worth a combined $3 BILLION.Joe remains an ambassador and speaker, and recently published an autobiography of his journey launching Reebok, called "Shoe Maker: The untold story of the British family firm that became a global brand".You're going to enjoy hearing a lot of INSIDER STORIES about how Reebok grew EXPONENTIALLY but you'll also hear how Joe and his brother dealt with years and years of REJECTIONS before breaking through.  Reebok understood the importance of INFLUENCERS early on, and Joe reveals how Reebok leveraged those relationships as a key element of the company's GROWTH STRATEGY.One of the most important things Joe talks about is how to FIND BALANCE as a family man and an entrepreneur.  If you've struggled with this, pay close attention to how Joe has managed to find that DELICATE SWEET SPOT that's a common problem for lots of success-driven people.Joe wraps up things with some FUN advice for entrepreneurs.Just like wearing the best shoes on the planet is an important part of WINNING THE RACE, you need to download the best advice on the planet if you want to win whatever race you're in.  And an hour spent listening to Joe Foster will definitely give you the COMPETITIVE EDGE you need. 

On todays epsiode we had to record virtually again with the rise of omicron. We really needed to talk about anything that would make us happy so we picked 2000's fashion naturally. Low rise jeans were the winner of the 2000's fashion, or the loser who's to say. They really were very problematic reshaping all of our bodies in a very not cute way. We also touch on Ugg boots, thin scarves, old navy flip flops, frosted tips and chunky highlights just to name a few. If we could bring back any of these trends, there really isn't too many good ones. The sequined satchel bag was a fave, and some of the awesome shoes like Reeboks, FUBU, and the platform flip-flops.

Derfor skal du lytte: Det er et ganske særligt afsnit, som udkommer og jeg tør godt sige at der bliver slået en del rekorder i dette afsnit: 1) Gæsten har stiftet den klart største virksomhed - målt på omsætning - af alle tidligere deltagere i podcasten, 2) Gæsten har formået at skabe et globalt brand, som bl.a. har sponsoreret folk som Shaquile O'Neale, Serena Williams og sågar Jay Z og så er han for øvrigt en FÆNOMENAL storyteller! Gæsten hedder Joe Foster, og han stiftede Reebok sammen med sin bror, efter de forlod faderens skofirma i skuffelse og vrede.. Reebok endte med at blive verdens største sportstøjsbrand i slut 80'erne, og blev større end både Nike og Adidas - og da Joe solgte virksomheden til Adidas, havde den en omsætning på +$4 mia. Der venter dig et helt genialt afsnit - dog i dagens anledning på engelsk. Episode 61: Rollemodellerne Podcast med Joe Foster De ultimative erfaringer om at tage Reebok fra idé til verdens største sportsbrand og $4 mia. i omsætning   Hvem er Joe Foster? Gæsten er ingen ringere end medstifter af sportsmærket Reebok, nemlig Joe Foster. Joe startede Reebok med sin bror Jeff i 1958, og siden da er det kun gået fremad. I en periode var Reebok endda det største sportsmærke i verden. Joe overlod virksomheden i 1989 og har for nyligt skrevet en bog om hele rejsen ved navn “Shoemaker”. Hvorfor er Joe Foster gæst i Rollemodellerne? Joe Foster er med i dette afsnit, da han har opbygget noget fuldstændig fantastisk. Hans virksomheds-eventyr med Reebok repræsenterer på mange måder en vildt fascinerede iværksætterhistorie, der er nærmest ubegribelig.  Joe Foster tog en virksomhed, som på det tidspunkt nærmest ikke fandtes. Han havde sågar muligheden for at lave noget med sin fars firma, men efter et stort oprør med sin far skabte han sit eget firma helt fra bunden. Dette firma, som blev døbt Reebok, går hen og bliver verdens største sportsmærke. De solgte for mere end 4 milliarder dollars på det tidspunkt, hvilket var mere end alle de andre store brands indenfor sportstøj, som tæller bl.a. Adidas, Nike og Puma.  Det er en hel vanvittig historie, men også en historie om en mand, der har haft en stor drøm og arbejdet hårdt, på trods af at han har oplevet en del modgang i sit arbejdsliv. Han har kæmpet for at slå igennem i USA, som var Reeboks store drøm, hvilket lykkedes ham i stor skala. Det er altså også en fortælling om, hvordan det at være vedholdende og gå efter det, man så gerne vil, kan skabe nogle helt fantastiske resultater. Dette afsnit byder bl.a. på: Historien om at blive født ind i en familievirksomhed uden succes Betydningen af ‘gatekeepers', som kan se nogle specielle behov og åbne nogle bestemte døre i markedet Om at bruge sin svaghed med at være ukendt et nyt sted til sin fordel Fortællingen om, hvordan navnet Reebok blev skabt Hvordan det at være heldig handler om en masse forskellige ting Tak fordi du lytter med, og husk: Hvis du er glad for podcasten, så efterlad gerne en anbefaling eller et review Kh Bjørn Støt Rollemodellerne - støt vores sponsor: Støt Rollemodellerne ved vores bogsponsor Bookbeat - Få ubegrænsede lydbøger GRATIS i 6 uger    Rollemodellerne Episode 61 – Joe Foster Notat og tidlinje: 00:30 - Præsentation af gæsten, Joe Foster, der sammen med sin bror startede Reebok 02:00 - De snakker kort om Joes bog Shoemaker 03:30 - Om at blive født ind i en familie, hvor man producerer sportssko 05:30 - Under farens og onklens ejerskab af familievirksomheden, stod det skidt til 08:30 - Hvordan verdenskrigene påvirkede faren og onklens mentalitet omkring at drive  firmaet 10:30 - Militærtjenesten gjorde Joe og Jeff selvstændige og selvsikre nok til at have lyst til at overtage, udvide og ændre familiefirmaet 11:55 - De snakker om, hvor betydningsfulde sportsskoene var dengang hans bedstefar havde firmaet, og at bedstefaren var en influencer

As one of the few Black women in country music, Mickey Guyton hasn't had an easy path. But after years of false starts and disappointments, she decided to do things her way on her debut album, 2021's Remember Her Name. Staying true to herself meant telling her story, and the album included songs like "Love My Hair," which she wrote after seeing a video of a Black girl sent home from school because of her hair, and “Black Like Me,” about the sometimes painful reality of someone in Guyton's shoes. Miley Cyrus knows a few things about doing things her way, too, whether shedding her Hannah Montana image by swinging half-naked on a wrecking ball or pivoting from pop to rock in recent years. This summer, Mickey and Miley reconnected for Rolling Stone's Musicians on Musicians podcast, presented by Allstate. They touched on everything from country radio to the Reeboks that Miley's dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, would wear in the Nineties. But they kept coming back to breaking barriers and being themselves.

The Lord laid two words on Pastor Jeremie's heart the week prior to him sharing this message: Self-awareness & Prodigal. Self-awareness means having a deep understanding of one's emotions, strengths, limitations, values & motives, as discussed further in a great Harvard Business Review book entitled "Primal Leadership: Unleashing the Power of Emotional Intelligence" by Goleman, Boyatzis, & McKee (2013). Prodigal simply means reckless & wasteful. In Luke 15, Jesus is surrounded by an audience of tax-collectors & sinners, Pharisees & scribes. He seizes this opportunity to tell 3 parables: 1 lost sheep out of 100, 1 lost coin out of 10, and 1 lost son out of 2. In the end of each parable, what was lost was found. The last parable, the one about the prodigal son, is a favorite of many, and reveals how a deep lack of self-awareness can damage our perspective of the Kingdom of God, and can hinder our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Homing in on the father's reception of the prodigal son, Pastor Jeremie teaches four steppingstones towards self-awareness in Christ: ROBES, RINGS, REEBOKS & ROAST.

This Part 1 of my interview with Fred Swaniker, founder of Africa Leadership Academy (ALA), Africa Leadership Univerity (ALU) and ALX (among others). Fred is one of Time Magazine's Most Influential People in the World and has done the requisite mainstage TED talk. I believe this is the only time he has publicly talked about marketing.Subscribe to the podcast: Apple, Sticher, TuneIn, Overcast , Spotify. Private Feed.Transcript:Edward: My guest today is Fred Swaniker. Fred was born in Ghana but had to leave the country when he was four years old to escape a military coup. By the time he was 18, he'd lived in four African countries. Today's episode dives into his career, Macalester College, McKinsey, Stanford, Africa Leadership Group, ALA, ALU, ALN, and a mainstage TED talk. Fred's latest venture is ALX, a leadership development and talent sourcing platform. We are lucky to have him here today.Fred, you've never had a CMO role per se, but you've largely been the one responsible for growing your businesses, and I've never met anybody in my life who's better at fundraising. I think fundraising (in general) is a sales skill, but I would argue you've managed to do it by building a brand and then having people throw money at you. Where did you learn your marketing skills? How did you become a marketer?Fred: I wish it was as easy as you make it sound that people just throw money at me. I think that my approach to fundraising has really been one of not trying to do the hard sell. I really believe in establishing relationships and win-win partnerships that enable us and whoever we are partnering with to both achieve our goals.We've been able to raise about US$600 million in the last 15 years, from [...] different ventures, and I would say that probably about 50%–60% of the funds that were raised, I never asked for it. Our approach is really to inspire people and just share the stories of what we're doing, and those who are interested in what we're doing will step up and will join us, those who are not will move on. Maybe it could be the way I was brought up. My parents always told me never to go and ask people for money. I always thought, can I find a way to build a relationship that adds value and shows people the worthiness of what we're doing? If people see that, then they'll come to us and they'll participate in our vision.Edward: Fred, what happens before the building of the relationship? That before you can build a relationship with someone who's willing to write you a hundred million dollar check, you must have built a personal brand or a company brand that gets you there. How did you do that?Fred: Over the years, I've developed a framework that I use for establishing relationships, and I break it down into four steps. First, I met thousands of people around the world. Every person that you meet, there's some connection that you have. Maybe there's some mutual interest, you share a joke, there's some chemistry that you have with someone. That's stage one, which is the connection. Then maybe you exchange business cards, you exchange emails, et cetera.Then you enter the second stage which is a continuous interaction. This is when you're exchanging communication, you're meeting up for coffee every now and then, having lunch, you actually have some dialogue and then mutual exchange. Only a few of the connections move to that stage of continuous interaction. From the continuous interaction, people start to see whether you are someone who delivers on what you say you're going to do, and you establish credibility based on integrity, et cetera.From there, you get to trust, which is the third phase. Once you have trust, finally, and only once you have trust, then you get to collaboration, which is where someone could say, I'm going to invest in you. I'm going to donate funds. I'm going to join your board, et cetera. I think one of the mistakes I made earlier in my career was I would rush straight to stage four (collaboration) without going to the continuous interaction and building trust first. That's the way I approach relationships.Edward: How did you learn that, though? You made that mistake early in your career. How did you come to the realization that there was this four-step process? Did you read about it? Did you learn it from a mentor? Did you figure it out on your own?Fred: I read about this. There's one book that I read called Mega Gifts. It's written by this guy called Jerold Panas who interviewed about 100 people who had given more than $1 million to things, and asked them why they gave. It was really fascinating just learning about some of the philosophy behind that. Before that, when I started the African Leadership Academy, I had never raised money before really. I went to see the Dean of the Stanford Business School where I went, and I said, you raised a lot of money. How did you do it? That time, the Stanford Business School had just raised US$300 million from Phil Knight, the founder of Nike. I went to see him and I said, how did you do this thing. He said, “The first thing you do is never ask for money the first time you meet someone. Just show them what you're doing. Get them involved in what you're doing in some way. Invite them to see the campus. Get them onto a board or something. Then, only once you've built a relationship with them, do you then engage them in possibly supporting you financially.” I must say that there'd been some times when that rule didn't work. I remember very early on, I met this very successful technology executive. She came to South Africa on a business trip and we met. We had this lovely lunch and at the end of the lunch, she said, so Fred, why did you want to see me today? I was like, well, perhaps you can help us structure some thinking about our technology strategy for the university, for the [...] I said, okay, that sounds good. She had a relationship with the President of South Africa in terms of that. So I said, perhaps you can connect us to him, et cetera? Then she goes, is there anything else? I was with my co-founder, Chris Bradford, and he's kicking me under the table, as in, asking for the money.I was just remembering this advice from the dean who said, don't ask for the money the first time you meet someone, and this was the first time we ever met. I decided to just take a chance because she was really saying, ask me for the money. I said, we're hoping perhaps you could support us financially, and she said, I thought you'd never ask. She said, I was sold on your idea when I heard about it, so consider it done. She gave us $100,000 the next week, and she went on to give us about $500,000 over the next few years. Ultimately, you have to read the signals and understand when someone is ready to be asked. I think a lot of marketing is like that. You're taking someone through a journey with you and people have choices about where they can spend their money. If you wait too long before you ask for the money, you lose the deal. If you don't wait long enough and you asked too soon, you also lose the deal. So it's about really knowing when is the right time when you read the signals about whether this person is really interested in your product or service, and they've demonstrated through their actions and their behaviors that they're really interested in what you have to offer. At that point, it's a mutually beneficial partnership.Edward: That's great, Fred. I want to go back and understand the path of how Fred became Fred. I have this theory that what people do when they're 12–14 years old affects them for their entire lives. I'm not even sure what country you were living in when you were 12–14 years old. What were you doing around that age?Fred: I was there in between Botswana and Zimbabwe at that time. I had just started high school, I guess.Edward: What did you care about? What were you spending your time doing? What were you passionate about at that age?Fred: At that time, I was always reading about different kinds of technologies, and I was very passionate about planes. I was curious about how they worked. I used to read a lot about different kinds of planes around the world. I was always trying to invent things with my friends. I also started getting a bit into the business. I remember at the time, these Nike shoes and Reeboks were coming out and they were very popular. My family was from Ghana originally and we used to go back home every now and then. There were these secondhand Nike and Reebok shoes that have been brought imported to Ghana. It's kind of gross now that I think back then. You could buy them there at a really low cost. I would bring them back to Zimbabwe and try to sell it to my friends.I also was very passionate about gathering people. My home was the place where most of my friends from school would come and gather in the afternoons and we would just hang out. I loved bringing people together and having them connect with each other. If I look today, a lot of the work that I do, it has really been involved in building networks. I can say, perhaps that was shaped by that early experience because if I think about what we have done in creating that leadership group, it's been a massive exercise in networks. We've created a network of about 30,000 people with some of the most influential people in the world who have joined us in this mission. It has led to all sorts of exciting collaborations. Part of it is I really enjoy bringing people together and creating communities. I think perhaps that started then.Edward: So Fred, a lot of what you did as a child influenced your mission in life. Did you have skills when you're a child that influenced your career trajectory and where you are today? Was it these connection skills? Fred: One of the skills that I learned was how to adapt very quickly and to build relationships with new people. I was born in Ghana. I left there when I was four, and went to Gambia. Then when I was eight, I went to Botswana. When I was 12, I went to Zimbabwe. As a result, I had to learn how to adapt to different environments very quickly. I'd been to a new school every few years and I had to quickly make friends with different people. So, relationship building became something that I practiced very early on. As I mentioned earlier, I used to bring my friends together every afternoon and we'd just hang out, play games, and so forth. That became a skill as well. I believe I'm really good at designing experiences for people that make them have fun, and that makes them enjoy being in a place. That probably comes from some of those things that I was doing at that age.Another skill that I would say I developed is the ability to see patterns. A lot of my ideas today come from exposure to different countries I've been to, different people that I've met. I fill my life with a lot of diversity. That catalyzed a lot of the innovation for me because I'm able to connect the dots between something that is actually in this country, or that I heard from this person that I spoke to, or an idea that I read about in technology or in healthcare that I can bring into my work in education. I'm constantly scanning the universe to see what's going on and I'm able to bring together ideas from these creative persons to create new products that are quite distinctive. I think part of that comes from the fact that I was always in different environments and I had to absorb very quickly in this new environment that I went to, to be able to survive.Edward: You went to university at Macalester College. How did you come out different than when you went in?Fred: Macalester—if you don't know about it—has a culture that cares very much about social justice and about the world. When I went in there, I would say that I cared about the world, but I wouldn't say that I was obsessed about making a difference. I was going there to get a degree and get a job. But when you go to Macalester, every other week, there's some kind of protest against some social injustice. I remember the students took over the President's Office once because Macalester was buying their athletic gear from Nike. At that time, Nike had sweatshops in Southeast Asia. There was always this protest or that protest. It was very clear that you had to make a difference in the world.I would say that my social conscience changed. Even though my very first job outside of Macalester was not something that I would say was altruistic and made sense—I was working with McKinsey management consulting—I saw that very much as a means to an end because, by the time I left, I had really seen that I could make a difference in Africa. In fact, one of the things I did in my final year at Macalester was I wrote my honors thesis, where I looked at the trends that had happened in Africa in the last 50 years. I saw some exciting changes that were happening at that time. I predicted what I was going to do. Also, I predicted how Africa was going to evolve over the next 50 years. Many of the trends that I saw influenced my passion to go back to Africa. I would say that what Macalester did, it really made me a lot more passionate about the world, about making an impact in the world. The time that I had there enabled me to really do this honest thesis, understand that Africa was about to undergo a massive transformation, and it made me really excited about going back to play a role in that transformation.Edward: Fred, what would have happened if you hadn't left Africa then? If you had gone to college in Africa, instead of going to Macalester, how would your life have been different?Fred: My life would've been different in a couple of ways. Number one is I don't believe how to build networks. Some of the networks that I have today led me to do what I'm doing. My networks probably would remain very Africa-centric, maybe very Ghana-centric, or Zimbabwe-centric, whichever country I would have gone to. The second way my life would have been different is I wouldn't have developed such a global perspective. A lot of the work that I do, even though I'm based in Africa, involves leveraging global networks, global insights, global technology. I always think about what's going on in the world and how do I bring it to Africa, and how do I take Africa to the global stage. Finally, I don't think that I would have been as dedicated or passionate about social transformation because (like I said) you can't go to Macalester and not believe that you have to make a difference in the world. Kofi Annan, the former Secretary-General of the UN, had been to Ghana. He had been to Macalester a few decades before me. I remember being there and everyone's like, oh, you're from Ghana. Kofi Annan also went here. It was almost like you're expected to live up to his track record. I think those influences would not have been there if I hadn't gone to Macalester.Edward: It's interesting. By leaving Africa, you became more passionate about Africa.Fred: Exactly. What's interesting is when I arrived there I remember walking into the cafeteria at Macalester. In Africa, most people watch American TV, so a lot of people were always trying to mimic American accents. That was the cool thing. But when I landed in Macalester and I went to the cafeteria and I asked for food, there was a woman behind the counter. Actually, she was quite cute, and then she said, I love your accent. I suddenly realized that actually my African accent was cool in the US. That made me a lot prouder to be an African, and I really dived in more into it. The fact that I lived all across Africa really made me reflect on how special it was to be an African.Edward: Fred, what were the biggest failure points in your career? Where did things not go as expected?Fred: Oh, I've had so many failure points, but maybe I'll talk about two. One was about a year-and-a-half into my career at McKinsey. A client asked for me to be taken off the project. That was a real blow to me because my career had been rising very much in McKinsey at that time. I'd always had really great reviews on all my projects. But I had really pissed off the client that basically the CEO asked that I remove them from the project team. What had happened was I was a young kid. I was 22–23 and I was advising very senior people in the company. I thought I needed to show them how clever I was. I was always showing them how they were wrong and I was right about whatever idea I had, coming in and advising them then. I guess I thought that that was the way I should show value. I basically came across as an arrogant old prick. I learned a big lesson then, that when you are working with other people, you actually shine if you resist from showing off what you know. You actually will do a much better job at building relationships with others if you make them look great, instead of you trying to be great in the situation. What a very powerful lesson. It made me a lot more humble and made me realize that just because you think you know or thinking of the answer, doesn't mean you need to tell everyone about it. That was a very powerful lesson.Another lesson I learned was, after Stanford Business School, I started both the African Leadership Academy and something called Global Leadership Adventures at the same time. GLA was a summer program where we're going to bring kids from all across Africa, so all around the world to come to keep time for three months. It was the very first summer, and I went and rented out this holiday resort by this beautiful beach in Cape Town. The holiday resort could take about 150 people. I believed that we were going to get 150 kids from the US to show up in Cape Town, paying us $4,000 for a one-month experience each.I booked out the whole place for three months, then we went on the road trying to sell this thing. I signed a terrible legal agreement that committed me to pay for the full thing no matter how many students showed up. Lo and behold, we only got 35 kids to pay. I was [...] for 150 rooms. They just would not let me out of that contract. I ended up giving away another 30 slots for free. We had 70 kids who started being in that summer program, but I had to pay for 150 rooms. That was a very powerful lesson in being very humble when you make your financial projections for a startup, and also making sure you have a good lawyer when you're signing contracts. These are some of the powerful lessons that I learned from my failures. I can just go on and on and on, but I can only say I've grown simply because of my failures.Edward: I think being a bit more humble can be a lesson for all of us.

The Blue Meanies Origin Joke Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because understanding the past prepares us for the innovations of the future! Today we're going to look at an alternative story of how the Blue Meanies formed, from Greg Marriott, a Blue Meanie: https://web.archive.org/web/19991013005722/http://spies.com/greg/bluemeanies.html How Did The Blue Meanies Come To Be? The "Blue Meanies" was the name of a group of generalists in the system software group at Apple. I was a member of the group for three and half years. We were experts at Mac programming and debugging, and we guided the architecture of Mac system software for several years. People often ask how the Blue Meanies got started. The truth was pretty mundane, so I made up this story a few years ago. By the way, we had a hamster mascot named Gibbly. The stooped figure in the bloodstained lab coat scurried around the lab, checking his instruments. All was in readiness. Tonight, finally, he would silence the skeptics. He would show them his theories weren't those of a crack-pot, but those of a genius! He turned and surveyed the eleven tiny figures strapped on the tables in the center of the cavernous laboratory. The frightened rodents twisted and squirmed, but could not break free. Their sharp teeth had no effect on the stainless steel straps holding them in place. A twelfth hamster in a cage, marked with a nameplate that said "Gibbly," watched in horror as her brothers and sisters were subjected to this unthinkable torture. Their wide frightened eyes beheld their tormentor as he performed some last minute adjustments on the huge panel filling the far wall of the lab. Had they any intelligence at all they would have recognized the eleven identical sets of medical monitors. Gauges, meters, and dials reflected respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure. Eleven long streamers of paper inched their way out of the EEGs, leaving twisted little piles on the floor. The mad scientist paused and remembered the laughter of his peers when he presented his ideas to them. His face hardened as he recalled their ridicule when he proposed his "Theory of Transfiguration." His carefully documented research clearly showed that one mammal could be turned into another, yet they jeered and hooted until he was forced off stage, humiliated. He decided then to continue with his plan to prove his theories by turning rodents into monkeys. The old man smiled grimly and faced his subjects. He crossed the room and sat before his Macintosh. The desk was covered with documentation, leaving barely enough room to move the mouse. He shoved TechNotes and volumes of Inside Macintosh out of the way to make more room. He briefly checked that his control program was ready, reaching for the mouse. A couple of clicks later, relays closed deep inside the complex machines and the process began. Right at that moment, lightning struck the power lines just outside the lab windows. The Mac exploded in a shower of sparks. The blast propelled the old man backwards, his wheeled chair racing across the lab floor. He crashed into the panels and slid out of the chair onto the shiny floor. The piles of loose paper and manuals vaporized filling the air with a fine mist. At the same time enormous amounts of power surged through the machines, the tables, and the poor helpless hamsters. Automatic safety devices failed, fused by the jolt of electricity. The transformation raced out of control. The straps holding the hamsters snapped open, but the stunned animals still could not move. A puslating aura surrounded them, permeated their tiny bodies, growing stronger and stronger. As the acrid smoke from the Mac and the remnants of the manuals swirled through the aura it began to shimmer violently. The transformation continued. The eleven rodents began to shudder uncontrollably as the immense energy surrounding them intensified further. Had the scientist been conscious, he would have noted their change in size and form. They grew longer and wider and their fur (mostly) disappeared, replaced by Reeboks, Levis and t-shirts. Critical components in the complicated machinery finally succumbed to the outrageous current. Sparks flew from the panels and tiny lights winked out as the transformation process ground to a halt. The aura subsided and suddenly the air was very still. The old man stirred and groaned as his abused bones protested their treatment. He shook his head to clear it and was immediately forced to wonder why anyone would do such a thing after being slammed into a wall. He rose and looked at the stainless steel tables, expecting to see years of research blown to bits. He gasped in astonishment at the scene his eyes beheld. Eleven pairs of human eyes looked back at him. Unfortunately, the shock of such an overwhelming success was too much for him. His aging heart stopped beating and he fell heavily to the floor. Equally unfortunate was the intense paranoia which caused him to encrypt all of his notes. The eleven Blue Meanies [the way they got their name is another story... -ed.] looked at each other and smiled. The knowledge fused into their very structure by the aura made them giddy with excitement. They desperately wanted to use this newfound information in some way but didn't quite know what to do. They milled around the lab in confusion, looking for some clue that would tell them what to do next. One of them noticed a charred scrap of paper on the floor and picked it up. He showed it to the others, and soon they decided what to do. They grabbed Gibbly and filed out of the lab, not looking back, and set out on a long journey to Apple Computer, Inc., 20525 Mariani Ave, Cupertino, CA 95014.
