Most people fear a $43 million debt. Harvey Firestone called it “invigorating.” When his company faced collapse in 1920 and his executives panicked, Firestone seized control. He fired the sales manager, slashed prices 25%, and personally ran the sales department. It worked—not because he managed through fear, but through clarity.   Firestone was the founder of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company—an outsider who built one of America's iconic industrial empires by doing the opposite of what everyone else did. This episode isn't about tires. It's about how Firestone quietly built one of the great businesses of the 20th century by asking two deceptively simple questions: Is it necessary? Can it be simplified?  This episode breaks down the invisible principles behind Firestone's success: positioning over talent, inputs over outcomes, discipline over drama. If you lead a team or simply want to lead yourself better, this story is a masterclass in building enduring advantages.   This episode is for informational purposes only and is based on Men and Rubber: The Story of Business by Harvey Firestone.  Check out highlights from these books in our repository, and find key lessons from Firestone here—⁠⁠⁠https://fs.blog/knowledge-project-podcast/outliers-harvey-firestone/ (03:00) PART 1: The Best Businessman I Ever Knew(06:50) The Vanilla Extract Lesson(10:23) When Premium Doesn't Matter (12:05) PART 2: Right Beneath the Wheels(14:21) The Back of an Envelope(16:36) If Two of Us Stay, Neither Makes Money(18:39) Betting on what Doesn't Change(20:55) The Accidental Breakfast(24:53) The Third Option (28:19) PART 3: The Innovators Dilemma: Pneumatic Tires(32:24) The Ford Connection: A Partnership of Outsiders(35:23) Navigating the Crisis(37:17) The Underdog's Advantage(39:24) The Million Dollar Milestone(43:10) Weathering the Panic of 1907(45:55) The Simplicity Imperative (51:25) PART 4: The Ship-by-Truck Revolution(54:31) The Boom That Hid Everything(56:11) The 25% Solution(01:01:42) Cutting to the Bone (01:04:25) PART 5: Why He Never Stopped(01:06:54) The Human Element(01:08:09) The Legacy (01:10:05) Reflections, afterthoughts, and lessons Upgrade—If you want to hear my thoughts and reflections at the end of all episodes, join our membership: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠fs.blog/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and get your own private feed.

Mark talks about honoring Goodyear's pioneering legacy — like the iconic Goodyear Blimp, now celebrating 100 years — while recognizing that past success can breed conservatism if left unchecked.At the core of all this change is a new way of thinking about partnerships. Mark discusses the shift from traditional supplier hierarchies to real, transparent collaborations — where information is shared, problems are solved together, and the success of one depends on the success of all.Beyond strategy, Mark shows what leadership looks like at a human level. From walking factory floors to learn how tires are made firsthand to personally rallying 68,000 associates around a simple, bold vision — to be number one in tires and service — he demonstrates that leadership today isn't about commanding from the top. It's about committing yourself fully to the people you serve.Mark shares glimpses of life outside the boardroom—from hiking with his Labradors in Akron's Metro Parks to binge-watching White Lotus to plotting a summer trip across Europe to see Robbie Williams live.These moments aren't distractions from leadership; they're reminders that authenticity—showing up fully human—is part of what makes great leadership real.Themes discussed in this episode:Why legacy companies must unlearn traditional business practices to survive industry disruptionHow EV tire technology and connected mobility are reshaping Goodyear's product strategyRevitalizing a legacy automotive brand: How Goodyear is transforming after 125 yearsBuilding supplier collaboration models for the future of the automotive supply chainMaking accountability and measurable KPIs the foundation of leadership transformationEmbedding innovation across all departments, not just R&D, to stay competitiveWhy reconnecting leadership with shop floor operations drives meaningful cultural changeHow Goodyear is rallying 68,000 global employees around a bold new vision for growthFeatured guest: Mark StewartWhat he does: Mark is the Chief Executive Officer and President of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, joining the company and its Board of Directors in January 2024.

For years, a rubber and palm oil company that supplies some of the world’s top tiremakers has been dogged by allegations of sexual coercion at its plantations. Socfin — short for Société Financière des Caoutchoucs — says it has taken steps to improve matters, but an exclusive Bloomberg report shows those claims remain widespread. On today’s Big Take podcast, host Sarah Holder sits down with Bloomberg’s Sheridan Prasso to discuss her investigation into why the abuse has been so hard to stop — and a new EU law that could give corporations like Socfin a big incentive to reform.Read more: Sex-for-Work Allegations Hang Over Tycoons' Rubber PlantationsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For Mark Stewart, becoming CEO and President of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company was a lifetime dream realized. Stewart grew up with his father working at the Dunlop Tire plant (owned by Goodyear) and spent his afternoons after school in his grandfather's repair shop surrounded by the car parts he now helps create and sell. “I got a call from Goodyear more than a year and a half ago now. I've been here nine months. It was really a privilege to be asked to enter that process for such an iconic company, and I felt a little bit of a heart string pull with my dad having been in the tire business on the manufacturing side,” Stewart said.Stewart's career has taken him all over the world, to multiple companies with histories that span more than a century, and it has now come full circle.

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's recent earnings call provided insights into the company's strategic focus and operational initiatives, as stated by CEO Mark Stewart.Stewart emphasized Goodyear's commitment to achieving optimal inventory levels, enhancing supply chain efficiency, and optimizing purchasing and manufacturing processes. He highlighted the adoption of electronic should costing, SKU profitability analysis, and translating these findings into actionable measures on the production floor.Goodyear is responding to shifts in consumer behavior and market dynamics, particularly the rise of low-end imports in Europe, which have grown from 20% to 27% of the market share in the last five years, according to Stewart. This trend has influenced the company's strategic decisions, including recent major restructurings in Europe.The company's operational turnaround is evident in the significant boost in segment operating income, with a substantial contribution from the Americas business segment. This success is partially attributed to the Goodyear Forward transformation plan, which has revitalized the company's market position and financial metrics.Stewart acknowledged the challenges posed by lower-end imports in the U.S. and European markets, as well as the weak fleet industry condition that continues to weigh on the company's business in the Americas and EMEA regions.Goodyear remains committed to executing the Goodyear Forward plan, aiming to substantially improve operating income margin by the end of 2025. The plan encompasses strategies for enhancing facility and operational efficiency, achieving cost-effective material rationalization, and pursuing factory closures in Germany and Malaysia to establish a more effective cost structure.Additionally, the company is focused on expanding its product portfolio with premium fitments for high-end and electric vehicles, broadening the Cooper brand, and amplifying consumer retail performance through consumer insights and price and product mix modifications.While Goodyear acknowledges the challenges it faces, the company's strategic initiatives and operational improvements position it for continued growth and operational excellence, as stated on the earnings call. However, the company's future success will depend on its ability to effectively navigate the evolving market conditions and consumer preferences. This is a public episode.

On the 35th episode of Enterprise Software Innovators, hosts Evan Reiser (Abnormal Security) and Saam Motamedi (Greylock Partners) talk with Chris Helsel, SVP of Global Operations and  CTO of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. Goodyear is a leading vehicle equipment manufacturer known for producing tires and rubber products for diverse applications, including cars, airplanes, and industrial equipment worldwide. Chris shares his thoughts on the vital role of technology at Goodyear, important blueprints for successfully leveraging AI, and how Goodyear tire sensors are enabling the future of self-driving vehicles.Quick hits from Chris:On the symbiotic nature of AI and cybersecurity teams: “The AI basically tells them right away what to go do. So I almost think of it as Tony Stark. When you put on the Iron Man suit, it gives you a kind of superhuman augmentation.”On the need for AI to manage data overload: “It's impossible that we're going to think engineers are going to be able to consume that data...You're going to need these types of [AI] technologies in order to discern those insights.”On enabling data-driven technology: “Our solution has a sensor in the tire... It measures temperature, pressure, acceleration, ID. It has a small chip and a battery. So we take that information off there, combine it with some other vehicle information, and pass it through Telematics, up to the cloud."Recent Book Recommendation: The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker--Like what you hear?

Employee rights. While investment managers tend to exercise most voting rights in corporations, bought with pension, life insurance and mutual fund money, employees also exercise voice through collective bargaining rules in labor law. Increasingly, corporate law has converged with labor law. The United States is in a minority of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries that, as yet, has no law requiring employee voting rights in corporations, either in the general meeting or for representatives on the board of directors. On the other hand, the United States has the oldest voluntary codetermination statute for private corporations, in Massachusetts since 1919 passed under the Republican governor Calvin Coolidge, enabling manufacturing companies to have employee representatives on the board of directors, if corporate stockholders agreed. Also in 1919 both Procter & Gamble and the General Ice Delivery Company of Detroit had employee representation on boards. In the early 20th century, labor law theory split between those who advocated collective bargaining backed by strike action, those who advocated a greater role for binding arbitration, and proponents of codetermination as "industrial democracy". Today, these methods are seen as complements, not alternatives. A majority of countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development have laws requiring direct participation rights. In 1994, the Dunlop Commission on the Future of Worker-Management Relations: Final Report examined law reform to improve collective labor relations, and suggested minor amendments to encourage worker involvement. Congressional division prevented federal reform, but labor unions and state legislatures have experimented. Corporations are chartered under state law, the larger mostly in Delaware, but leave investors free to organize voting rights and board representation as they choose. Because of unequal bargaining power, but also historic caution of labor unions, shareholders monopolize voting rights in American corporations. From the 1970s employees and unions sought representation on company boards. This could happen through collective agreements, as it historically occurred in Germany or other countries, or through employees demanding further representation through employee stock ownership plans, but they aimed for a voice independent from capital risks that could not be diversified. Corporations where workers attempted to secure board representation included United Airlines, the General Tire and Rubber Company, and the Providence and Worcester Railroad. However, in 1974 the Securities and Exchange Commission, run by appointees of Richard Nixon, rejected that employees who held shares in AT&T were entitled to make proposals to include employee representatives on the board of directors. This position was eventually reversed expressly by the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 §971, which subject to rules by the Securities and Exchange Commission entitles shareholders to put forward nominations for the board. Instead of pursuing board seats through shareholder resolutions, for example, the United Auto Workers successfully sought board representation by collective agreement at Chrysler in 1980, and the United SteelWorkers secured board representation in five corporations in 1993. However, it was clear that employee stock ownership plans were open to abuse, particularly after Enron collapsed in 2003. Workers had been enticed to invest an average of 62.5 percent of their retirement savings from 401(k) plans in Enron stock, against basic principles of prudent, diversified investment, and had no board representation. This meant, employees lost a majority of pension savings. For this reason, employees and unions have sought representation simply for investment of labor, without taking on undiversifiable capital risk. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Charles Taylor, the former warlord and president of Liberia, “sponsored” by the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, left a swath of death and destruction through the country in the 1980s and 1990s.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Visit betterhelp.com/DUBIOUS today to get 10% off your first month of therapy. Charles and Chuckie Taylor left a swath of death and destruction through the country of Liberia in the 1980s and 1990s, which culminated in both of them being run out of political office and tried and convicted of war crimes. If you like our content please become a patron to get all of our public episodes ad-free. Charles Taylor was the son of an Americo-Liberian judge from Monrovia, Liberia, and his privileged upbringing in private American schools prepared him for the future that would see him befriend the Firestone Tire and Rubber country, and orchestrate a bloody revolution which killed over 250,000 people and exiled a million more from his home country. 1 Taylor's rise began with a post in the administration of the dictator who came to power from a prior coup in Liberia. During that time Taylor was head of purchasing and procurement, and skimming the contracts in that office for personal profit landed him in jail in the US awaiting extradition back to Liberia, after he fled from fraud charges in Monrovia. But he struck a deal with the American intelligence agencies and Firestone to overthrow the current Liberian dictator, and the CIA helped him escape from the American jail and start his genocidal revolution on the borders of Liberia and neighboring countries like Guinea and the Ivory Coast. 2 Taylor's violent revolution ultimately failed to capture Monrovia, but he was elected to the country's presidency anyway. His revolution sponsored by Firestone had given him far better access to mass media facilities than his competitors, so despite running ads with the crazy slogan "he killed my ma, he killed my pa, but I'm voting for Charles Taylor," Taylor won the presidency of Liberia by an election in 1997. But his success would not last. Just a few short years after his election he was run out of office just as he had overthrown his predecessor, Sergeant Samuel Doe, a former Liberian army soldier who had in turn overthrown the government of his predecessor, William Tolbert. All of this is very well documented in an excellent series of articles published by PBS and ProPublica, which was later turned into a documentary for PBS as well. Charles Taylor is now serving a life sentence in prison for war crimes after having been convicted by the international court at the Hague. Chuckie Taylor is now serving a life sentence after having been convicted on a similar charge in the US, he's the first American citizen to be convicted of torture abroad. As of the writing of these articles we're citing from the early 2000s, Chuckie's sadistic commander Bill Horace, who was known for crucifying villagers he caught looting abandoned plantations, was still living a free life in Toronto, Canada. 3 1.

Video Version https://vimeo.com/stateofreadiness/norbert-majerus About the Podcast Hello and welcome to another edition of State of Readiness with your host, Joseph Paris.  My guest today is Norbert Majerus; Author of “Lean-Driven Innovation” and “Winning Innovation” and a Lean Champion (Ret) from the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. He confesses that he went into engineering because he didn't like to working with people and felt that a career in engineering would find him in the corner of a room with a computer and being left alone to do his work.  It did not quite work out that way. Norbert spent most of his career at Goodyear's Innovation Centers.  Having first been introduced to Six Sigma, his natural gravitation was more towards Lean and the “people” side and skills associated with creating a problem-solving and leadership culture. We then talk about culture change; a topic which appears to be on many people's minds.  But people rarely speak of what they would like to change from what, to what.  They share the phrase “culture change” and just leave it hang there in the air like a cartoon bubble and leave it to others to figure out what was meant; a grand assumption on everyone's part. But Norbert does take the time to explain his ideas with respect to culture change; including the from what, to what.  Fun fact; “Luxembourgish” is a language… About Norbert Majerus Norbert Majerus Norbert was born in Luxembourg and has a Master's Degree in chemistry from the University of Saarlandes, Saarbrucken Germany in 1978.  After graduation and for the next almost 40 years, Norbert works for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, starting as a rubber chemist.  Over the course of his career with Goodyear, he held several roles in the Goodyear Innovation Centers in Luxembourg and in Akron, Ohio and holds over 60 patents and trade secrets in the United States alone.  The role he held the longest and for the final 15 years with the company was that of Lean Champion and is a Master Black Belt. Norbert has taught workshops and given keynotes at many conferences around the world.  Since retiring from Goodyear in 2017, Norbert continues to share with others the wisdom he has gained through his consultancy, his speaking opportunities, and his writings, which include two books; “Lean-Driven Innovation” and “Winning Innovation”. Norbert is also a Shingo Academy Fellow, an Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME) Assessor, and serves on the board of the Lean Product and Process Development Exchange (LPPDE).

In this episode of the Shingo Principles Podcast we hear from Norbert Majerus a Shingo Faculty Fellow and author of two books, Winning Innovation, and Lean-Driven Innovation, which received the Shingo Publication Award in 2016. Norbert retired from The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company after a long career working in innovation, and he now enjoys helping others combine Lean thinking with innovation.  At the Shingo Annual Conference in 2022, more than half of the keynote presenters emphasized the need for more or better innovation, realizing that innovation excellence does not automatically come with Lean. Many publications have even wondered if Toyota lost out to Tesla on electric vehicles because of their focus on Lean and operational excellence. There is perfect synergy between Lean and innovation. In this podcast, Norbert Majerus will share his experience on how he built a culture of innovation in addition to a Lean culture and saw amazing results.If you'd like to learn more, please read the article, “Rethinking What Toyota Taught Us: Tesla Here We Come!” which can be found at https://shingo.org/rethinking-what-toyota-taught-us-tesla-here-we-come/.

  Do you think there are differences between a lean culture and a culture for lean innovation? Norbert Majerus loved being an engineer in part because he was better with numbers than with people. But when Norbert was entrusted with leading the lean innovation transformation at the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, he had to build his skills with people. He's written a new book that shines a light on the human side of a lean innovation culture and what leaders need to learn about themselves to drive positive culture change. He joined me to tell his story. About Norbert Majerus Norbert, born and raised in Luxembourg, has a Master's degree in Chemistry from the Universitaet des Saarlandes, Saarbruecken, Germany, and worked most of the disciplines in the Goodyear innovation centers in Luxembourg and Akron. Norbert has taught workshops and has spoken at many conferences in the United States and other countries. Since retiring from Goodyear in 2017, he continues to share his extensive lean expertise via Norbert Majerus Consulting and as a board member of LPPDE (Lean Product and Process Development Exchange). In 2016, Norbert published his first book, Lean-Driven Innovation, which received the Shingo Research Award. Also in 2016, with Norbert's guidance, the Goodyear R&D organization applied for and received the AME Excellence Award. Norbert published his second book, Winning Innovation in 2022. KEY TOPICS IN THIS PODCAST: 0:02:48 Leadership Lessons Learned the Hard Way 0:04:54 The Importance of Lean Culture and People 0:08:12 Leadership Development in a Lean Culture 0:12:25 Innovation at Goodyear 0:16:42 The Benefits of Taking Risks in the Workplace 0:23:03 The Benefits of a Culture of Innovation 0:25:03 The Impact of Education on Psychological Health 0:29:53 The Importance of Culture in Innovation Excellence 0:34:43 Innovation Excellence: The Process of Achieving Success KEY TAKEAWAYS Culture starts with the people Working in a Lean environment reinforced the importance of culture and people. Instead of lean tool adoption, the success of a lean system depends mostly on the activities made, the concepts applied, and organizational change. Every organization develops a culture, whether through a planned or unplanned process. Leaders need to respect people to be successful and it is something most leaders struggle with. When a corporation chooses to implement the lean business model, it cannot assume that the culture would instantly adapt to the new procedures, resources, and ideas. The culture needs to be intentionally guided to meet the demands of the model. A key to lean product development is performing a risk assessment and discharging that risk as early as you can in the process - so that you're not loading risk to the end of a product development project.

Video Version https://vimeo.com/748455371 About the Podcast Hello and welcome to another edition of State of Readiness with your host, Joseph Paris. Today I am happy to have Billy Ray Taylor, CEO of LinkedXL and author of "The Winning Link" on my podcast. Billy previously worked at Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company for 30 years; starting off on the plant floor and retiring as Global Head of Diversity and Inclusion and Executive Director of Commercial, Off Highway, and Support Manufacturing North America. We start the conversation taking a stroll down memory lane. Soon after graduating from Prairie View A&M University with a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Billy joined Goodyear starting where every recent graduate does; on the floor of the night shift. A life-long learner, Billy recognized early on as he steadily climbed the ranks at Goodyear that he had to "earn the right" to be appointed to the various roles and to retain the right to remain there. This meant that he had to have both the technical skills and also the leadership skills necessary to succeed in the various roles. The conversation comes to diversity and inclusion; with Joseph sharing that, having walked the Earth and worked with many companies located around the world, that the completive advantage of companies based in the States (along with those in Canada and the United Kingdom), is their diversity (regardless of what might be current assumptions). People bring forward what they have learned during their lives. And if everyone on a team has had the same life experiences and brought-up in a homogeneous culture, then everyone will look at a challenge with the same solution set. As the saying goes; "If everyone is thinking the same, then nobody is thinking". But Billy also drove the point that there is a significant difference between "diversity" and "inclusion". Whereas diversity means there are a members on the team with a variety of backgrounds and expertise, inclusion means you use that talent. I guess I never gave the difference too much mind because, as an entrepreneur since 1985, I don't have resources that I would gain but not use. The thought would never occur to me. So it's not about quotas and making sure every race, creed, and sex is included in the picture (like marketing departments are apt to do). It's about understanding that the differences are strengths, but only if you use them. This was a really good, interesting, and valuable conversation. Give a listen... About Billy Ray Taylor Billy Taylor is an American business executive, dynamic speaker and leadership guru. He is the Founder and President of LinkedXL (Excellence), a Business Operating Systems Architecting Firm. Billy spent 30 years with The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (GT), serving as Director of North America Operations and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer. During his tenure at Goodyear, the company's earnings rose from a loss of 38M to +17.5B. As the Global Head of Diversity & Inclusion for Goodyear, Billy formulated and led the diversity and inclusion strategies for 64,000 employees across the 22 countries where Goodyear operates. After retiring from Goodyear, Billy founded LinkedXL, a consultancy that specializes in helping companies architect their Business Operating Systems, and serves as its CEO. Billy is a dynamic speaker and leadership guru who is routinely called upon by universities, international conferences, global publications, and the U.S. Armed Forces to demonstrate how to drive and sustain effective results through creating a culture of leadership and enabling employee ownership.

Laura Duda is senior vice president and chief communications officer at The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, where she leads all internal and external communications globally for Goodyear, including public and media relations, employee communications, corporate reputation management, philanthropy, and community relations, as well as Goodyear's fleet of world-famous airships. In this conversation with Lippe Taylor CEO Paul Dyer, Laura gets into how Goodyear remains an iconic brand amid all the disruption in the auto industry, the wisdom behind strategic partnerships with brands completely unrelated to your industry, and advice for rising PR stars. Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Laura Duda.  Talk the Talk Before you Walk the Walk Laura discussed how Goodyear would only announce new innovations and ESG initiatives to the public when they were market-ready or otherwise activated. Despite the inherent dignity in waiting until something has materialized before talking about it, by then, it's usually too late. Many brands will make bold declarations about their product & ESG plans five, ten, even 25 years in advance. Being transparent about your plans for the future is critical to claiming your brand's share of voice. Purpose should extend beyond products. Goodyear doesn't consider itself as just a tire brand; instead, their overarching purpose is to enable mobility, which is way more of a universal notion to get behind. Considering how disrupted the automotive industry is and continues to get, having a purpose that transcends your product line is a critical part of future-proofing your brand by fostering the kind of agile thinking that will enable your brand to weather the storms of disruption and remain relevant. Shake things up by partnering with brands in disparate industries. The Goodyear blimp is one of the most enduring examples of earned marketing and an OG case study in the annals of communications. Goodyear hasn't ceased that spirit at all and recently enacted a partnership with AirBnb where customers were able to rent a night in the Goodyear blimp. Laura stated that one of their keys to remaining relevant was partnering with other brands that challenge their teams to think differently and outside of their industry. The activation was a win-win for both brands and an example of the kind of inter-brand partnership we're seeing more and more of. ----- Produced by https://simpler.media (Simpler Media)

In the early 1920s, the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company opened a massive rubber plantation in Liberia. Money from this venture quickly found its way to one of the most iconic libraries in America.

This month's episode focuses on a popular commodity, namely rubber. Despite consuming a large share of the world's rubber supply, the United States has long relied on the global market to meet American demand for rubber. During the early twentieth-century, this dependence on foreign rubber led the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company to the West African nation of Liberia, where the company built one of the largest rubber plantations in the world. What follows is a tale of land expropriation, medical racism, and corporate power that stretches from the 1920s to the 2020s.

Rubber is one of those things that goes unnoticed most days, even though our modern lives depend on it for building supplies, medical and industrial equipment, and so many things that help us get around. Despite its tendency to fade into the background, the story of rubber, particularly U.S. rubber, is one worth noticing. In the early 1920s, Americans owned 80 percent of the world's automobiles and consumed 75 percent of the world's rubber. At the same time, global demand for rubber skyrocketed as the automobile industry took off. But only a tiny amount of rubber was produced on U.S. soil, and there just wasn't enough to meet demand. How to ease the rubber bottleneck? In his new book, Empire of Rubber, Historian and filmmaker Gregg Mitman described the largely unknown story of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, the tiny West African nation of Liberia, and its transformation into America's rubber empire. Empire of Rubber claimed that Firestone reaped fortunes from stolen land and the labor of the Liberian people and contributed to instability and inequality that eventually led to civil war. Drawn from extensive research, Mitman weaved a narrative through the deeply intertwined realms of ecology, science, commerce, and racial politics — a story that offers both lessons and warnings as we consider the human costs of supply and demand. Gregg Mitman is the Vilas Research and William Coleman Professor of History, Medical History, and Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He is the founding director of the Nelson Institute's Center for Culture, History, and Environment (CHE) and is also past president of the American Society for Environmental History.

One of the fun parts of programming the Software Process and Measurement Cast is getting diverse groups of people together to chat.  In this edition of the podcast, Jon M Quigley, Jeremy Willets, Jeremy Berriault, Kevin Rush, Susan Parente, and myself convened to discuss what we learned about work in 2021. The last few years have been extraordinary -- both good and bad. When you live in times like these it is incumbent on all of us to learn from them. The panelists (other than myself) are: Jeremy Berriault https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-berriault-mba/ Web: https://berriaultandassociates.com/  Susan Parente linkedin.com/in/susanparente Web: http://www.s3-tec.com/ Jon M Quigley linkedin.com/in/jonmquigley Web: https://www.valuetransform.com/product-development-tools/ Kevin Rush linkedin.com/in/kezrush Twitter: @Kezrush Jeremy Willets linkedin.com/in/jeremywillets   Blog: https://www.jeremywillets.com/     Re-Read Saturday News  Week 2 of our re-read of  Agile Conversations by Douglas Squirrel and Jeffrey Fredrick tackles Chapter 1, Escaping the Software Factory. The idea that software development and maintenance fit a factory model in which people are fungible and that processes are deterministic is a thing in 2021 (as it was when this book was written). I have always been hard-pressed to buy the factory/manufacturing model. I have worked on an assembly line. One of the jobs I had was building tires for Firestone Tire and Rubber Company at their plant in Memphis. That job was one of the reasons I made sure I went to university. Whether the assembly line model was truly appropriate even for tire manufacturing would be interesting to debate (the plant is gone, no amount of scientific management could save it). At the very least, software development and maintenance are better served by team-based collaborative approaches. Words like team-based and collaboration require communication (something that did not happen on the assembly line, except when we had union meetings) so that rigid processes and micromanagement can be minimized. My experiment of the week: I originally planned to begin experimenting with the ideas from Agile Conversations with Chapter 2; however, Chapter 1 reminded me of the need to take a mindset-centered approach to change and to incorporate the ideas from Cynefin. I will review my decisions this week to assess whether I am getting lazy and assuming that situations are more deterministic than complex,  and therefore not putting myself in the right place to collaborate. https://amzn.to/3vEjr55 (Affiliate Link) Week 1: Logistics and Introduction - https://bit.ly/3EZspxT  Week 2: Escaping The Software Factory - https://bit.ly/3HIlivg    Next SPaMCAST  Next week features a second panel discussion with some of the same people (and a new mixer) with a focus on hopes and aspirations for 2022 and beyond. Next week will spike the ball on year 15 of the Software Process and Measurement Cast.

For the first few moments, all I could think of was the situation encountered by a colleague on the Firestone Tyre and Rubber Company initial training course with me, who had later used his Company car to assist with a rallycross event. The result had been a dented roof and caved-in doors.He consequently had to leave the company!Surely my problem was nothing like that? Could I be accused of abusing company property?

You are more qualified for that job than you think. We spoke with Brandy Moorhead, B.S. Mechanical Engineering '01, and Sr. Director Product Development - Global Off Highway at Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. When opportunities came her way to explore new roles, she took them on and figured it out along the way. 

In the early 1920s, Americans owned 80 percent of the world's automobiles and consumed 75 percent of the world's rubber. But only one percent of the world's rubber grew under the U.S. flag, creating a bottleneck that hampered the nation's explosive economic expansion. To solve its conundrum, the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company turned to a tiny West African nation, Liberia, founded in 1847 as a free Black republic. Empire of Rubber: Firestone's Scramble for Land and Power in Liberia (New Press, 2021) tells a sweeping story of capitalism, racial exploitation, and environmental devastation, as Firestone transformed Liberia into America's rubber empire. Historian and filmmaker Gregg Mitman scoured remote archives to unearth a history of promises unfulfilled for the vast numbers of Liberians who toiled on rubber plantations built on taken land. Mitman reveals a history of racial segregation and medical experimentation that reflected Jim Crow America—on African soil. As Firestone reaped fortunes, wealth and power concentrated in the hands of a few elites, fostering widespread inequalities that fed unrest, rebellions and, eventually, civil war. A riveting narrative of ecology and disease, of commerce and science, and of racial politics and political maneuvering, Empire of Rubber uncovers the hidden story of a corporate empire whose tentacles reach into the present. Gregg Mitman is the Vilas Research and William Coleman Professor of History, Medical History, and Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. An award-winning author and filmmaker, his recent films and books include The Land Beneath Our Feet and Breathing Space: How Allergies Shape Our Lives and Landscapes.

When Goodyear's customers call for supply chain sustainability, they want the company to prioritize sustainable materials, zero emissions, and processes that emphasize circularity. But they also want Goodyear to demonstrate stewardship of more than what happens inside their own four walls. They want the company to be able to trace products, not just from tier one suppliers, but all the way through the supply chain, to tier 2, 3, and 4 suppliers. The challenge may be substantial, but if the team is willing there is nothing they cannot achieve.In this episode, Hosts Scott Luton and Billy Taylor, AME Board Member and CEO and President of LinkedXL, are Joined by special guest Ellis Jones, Global VP EHS&S at the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. With Supply Chain Now Host Scott Luton representing the voice of a live audience, Ellis and Billy share stories and experiences from their time working together at Goodyear, including:  - How companies can balance the benefits of management systems with the need employees have to feel secure in their positions  - Why it is important for everyone on the team, from the bottom to the top, to buy into a unique and common definition of ‘winning'  - The critical importance of having both visibility and traceability if a supply chain is to become more sustainable Additional Links & Resources: Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now and all other Supply Chain Now programs: https://supplychainnow.com/subscribe (https://supplychainnow.com/subscribe) Learn more about AME: https://www.ame.org/ (https://www.ame.org/) Register for the 2021 Supply Chain Insights Global Summit: https://lnkd.in/dMYq3Rv (https://lnkd.in/dMYq3Rv) Register for the OMNIA Partners Connections Conference: https://bit.ly/3jHlwdv (https://bit.ly/3jHlwdv) WEBINAR- How Digital Transformation Accelerates & Strengthens Your Supply Chain with Esker Inc: https://lnkd.in/gTqW-wb (https://lnkd.in/gTqW-wb) WEBINAR- Mini-Master Class: Tips & Tools for Optimizing Professional Development & Job Seeking: https://bit.ly/2V0lTFy (https://bit.ly/2V0lTFy) WEBINAR- What You Can Learn From a Digital-First DTC Brand: Quip's Omnichannel Evolution: https://bit.ly/2TFPS5j (https://bit.ly/2TFPS5j) 2021 Supply Chain and Procurement Awards: https://lnkd.in/gxp7bQy (https://lnkd.in/gxp7bQy) This episode was hosted by Scott Luton and Billy Taylor.

Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/3FWwAfb For much of the twentieth century, London was the global centre for disposable latex condom production, and the London Rubber Company was the biggest and the most successful condom manufacturer ever to operate in Britain. Thanks to its historic distribution network, amplified wartime production, sophisticated and innovative production techniques, notorious anti-competitive practices, and a careful play-off between extra-marital and ‘respectable' markets, the company enjoyed a near monopoly on supply and distribution during it's heyday in the 1950s and 1960s. But London Rubber was also, in many ways, a socially progressive company for the time, offering a profit-share scheme and many benefits to employees, including time off for working mothers.

Join us today as we interview the wonderful Christy Shultz. Christy Schultz:I was born in Sandwich, IL in 1973 and spent nearly my whole childhood there with my younger siblings. I began my first regular part-time job in high school at McDonald's to begin saving money for whatever I had coming in my near future. I graduated from high school soon after in Sandwich at age 17 and left to live on my own upon graduation.My first full-time job as an Administrative Assistant was with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in Aurora. From here I moved on to work with The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company & their franchise, Just Tires. I stayed with the company for 13 years. I had several positions within the company over the years. It eventually led to where I met my husband, Chris who also worked for the same company. Goodyear provided a college education and great opportunities for both of us for our future.After being together a few years, Chris and I got married. Chris had always wanted to eventually own his own automotive business. Together we bought into another auto chain in which he worked at while I continued to work for Goodyear. We had planned to have Chris kick off our first franchise purchase of the auto retail repair chain, Merlin 200,000 Mile Shops. I continued to work separately as we had begun to plan for having children, then I would stay home to be a full-time mother. In the meantime, Goodyear was providing my full college tuition towards my Bachelor's Degree from DePaul University.  After five years of marriage, we had our firstborn son, Layne. I left my work to stay home with him as a baby. Layne has Down Syndrome and Chris and I had not known or expected this could be the case before he was born. He has grown to be the most amazing young man who is smart, loving, helpful, athletic, fun, and happy 99% of the time! It turns out that he became the big brother of 3 girls to complete our family. Mykenzie, Jaidyn, and Gracyn are all two years apart and Mykenzie was born two years after Layne.  The kids are currently, Layne - 17 (counting the days to 18), Mykenzie 16, Jaidyn 13, and Gracyn is 12.Since before Chris and I were married, we bought our first house together in Woodridge. We moved closer to our auto shop in Montgomery about seven years later. We were there for about ten years until 12 years ago we found the house we currently live in. In between Woodridge and Montgomery, Chris and I purchased several Merlin Shops, worked at them, and eventually sold them except…our first purchase which was in 1998. Just over 20 years after we began our first Merlin shop, we left Merlin and joined a brand new franchise, Mike More Miles. My husband is a leader in his industry and will eventually be the likely next president of this corporation. While we lived in Montgomery I was a stay at home mom most of the time. There were gaps of time that I worked in the shops with Chris although working in auto shops was not a passion, it was work. Good work, hard work, something for me to do outside the house was work that helped us where we are today. I had an interest in real estate. Since the first house we bought together I had grown my interest and eventually pursued it as a part-time career. I am a licensed real estate broker still today and practice for referrals, family, and friends. Since having kids and managing their education and activities, we narrowed it all down to what made my girls most happy together (didn't want all the kids doing four different activities, ahh!).  This was dance. From the time my girls were age 2 they were taking dance classes and have grown to make it part of their lives every day. We eventually bought a piece of land in Yorkville and built a building that has come to be VIM Dance Studio. I am now in the middle of my fifth year in this business. We have become very well known in the dance industry and have a great family business. As a mother, a business owner, and a real estate agent, it made the most sense to create Virtues In Motion Dance Studio. This is a business where my kids have a passion for, that makes them happy, and one in which I enjoy the work. All of our family participates in the business and my kids have some plans to be a part of the dance industry into their futures. I am happy to help them along the way or empower them to follow whatever passion they have, regardless if it is dance or not. Our plans from today forward are to prepare for our near future with a fairly soon, semi-retirement. When our youngest daughter graduates from high school, my husband and I want to be ready to settle down in work and add more life to enjoy. We are now beginning our five-year plan to sell our businesses to our managers and our home to the next large family to enjoy for the years when it's needed the most.

The Greatest Story Ever Told came to the air on January 26th, 1947. It was ambitious, with a full orchestra and sixteen-person chorus. It dramatized the life of Jesus and was the first series to use Christ as a continuing character. There were no cast credits: Warren Parker played Jesus. No pictures were taken of the performers at work, and there was no studio audience. There were also no commercials: just a simple tag reminding listeners that the program was brought by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. The show was guided by an interdenominational advisory board. The sound effects were praised, with sandals simulated and animal noises recorded at the Bronx Zoo. This episode told the story of “The Good Samaritan” from the Gospel of Luke. It’s about a traveller stripped, beaten, and left half dead along the roadside. First a Jewish priest and then a Levite comes by, but both avoid the man. Finally, a Samaritan happens upon the traveller. Samaritans and Jews despised each other, but the Samaritan helps the injured man. It’s a parable to remind people that we are always our brothers and sister’s keepers.

In the last week, Goodyear has been on the minds of many due to a boycott called by President Trump. But today, Ray Horner delves into Goodyear’s past. Ray sat down with Victor Fleischer, the author of the book The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company: A Photographic History, 1898-1951. It is a comprehensive look at the beginning of the company, how it put Akron on the map, and the popularity of the blimps. Fleischer is a professional archivist at the University of Akron, which is where the photographs inside the book came from.

A leaked photo of a presentation slide from a Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company plant in Topeka, Kansas, brands MAGA, 'All Lives Matter' and 'Blue Lives Matter' as political statements unacceptable at work, but protects expressions of support for LGBTQ rights or #BlackLivesMatter. Within hours, President Trump suggested a Goodyear boycott, and removing the Akron, Ohio, company's tires from The Beast (the presidential limo).

How cool would it be to come up with an invention that is so important that someone ends up naming their company after you? That's exactly what happened with the great inventor we are looking into in this episode, Charles Goodyear. Yup, he didn't start Goodyear what-so-ever!! But his invention of vulcanization was so crazy important that Frank Seiberling started the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company using the Goodyear name. Join us for a quick chat about the life of Charles Goodyear, how he came up with vulcanization, and more!

OK, so it appears that the hopes and dreams of many were dashed this week with the release of the picture from the new Disney Aladdin on a magazine cover. All I can say is the questions and comments are seriously bad. With some saying it looks like a bad porn parody and others saying it looks as camp as a float at the Sydney Mardi Gras. Oh Disney, don’t kill another movie, please, if anything, just stop before you traumatise the children. Oh the humanity.Wow, the fur starts flying early this week as the Professor tells us how disappointing Day Z 1.0 is after the one year, oops sorry FIVE years of waiting. It appears we have a contender with Star Citizen for biggest flop, or is that Fallout 76? Dang, games are just starting to get worse, not better, what ever happened to the games we were promised in cartoons and anime? Trust me when I say that this is one to listen to as the Professor is really upset about this, even becoming a grumpy old man and wanting to fix the blessed thing.DJ brings us information about the cast of voice actors for the new Dark Crystal series being developed by Netflix. Buck is reserving the right to be fully grumpy and indignant about the epic failure if they get it wrong. Hopefully it will be good.Buck brings us news about musical and sound engineering for cars. That’s right, to help people know that an electric car is coming manufacturers are employing specialists from the music industry to deliver the perfect noise for the cars of the future. Of course this raises questions of “Tuning” cars in the future, will the American Presidential tank play the Imperial Death march as it drives down the road or the Star Spangled Banner.EPISODE NOTES:Day Z 1.0 is now on Steam- https://dayz.com/article/general/dayz-1-0Netflix’s Dark Crystal prequel series- https://au.ign.com/articles/2018/12/17/netflixs-dark-crystal-prequel-cast-age-of-resistance-taron-egerton-nathalie-emmanuel-mark-hamillMusical Cars- https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2018-12-16/electric-car-sounds-purr-engines-musicians-changing-cities/10606972Games currently playingProfessor– Day Z 1.0 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/221100/DayZ/Buck– LEGO The Hobbit - https://store.steampowered.com/app/285160/LEGO_The_Hobbit/DJ- Darksiders 3 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/606280/Darksiders_III/Other topics discussedDean Hall- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Hall_(game_designer)Day Z 1.0 results on Steam- https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/a72ooi/free_to_play_review_results_74_negative/Fallout 76 now launching loot boxes- https://www.techspot.com/news/77903-fallout-76-might-getting-loot-boxes.htmlTwo-point hospital the game- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Point_HospitalMy Friend Pedro the game- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Friend_PedroAustralian Game Awards 2018 nominations- https://stevivor.com/news/australian-games-awards-2018-finalists-announced/Australian Game Awards 2018 results- https://press-start.com.au/news/2018/12/20/all-the-winners-from-the-australian-games-awards/Hollow knight the game- http://hollowknight.com/Lisa Henson- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_HensonFirst look at live action Aladdin with Will Smith as Genie- https://variety.com/2018/film/news/first-look-will-smith-genie-aladdin-remake-1203093253/Mark Hamill- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_HamillSlipstream the movie- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipstream_(1989_film)Helena Bonham Carter- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helena_Bonham_CarterSweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweeney_Todd:_The_Demon_Barber_of_Fleet_Street_(2007_film)Enid- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enid_(film)Enid Blyton- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enid_BlytonBlade Runner anime series- https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/29/18118112/blade-runner-black-lotus-anime-cowboy-bebop-ghost-in-the-shellMagnificent 7 TV Movie- https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0471019/Jetson’s Car sound effect- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdWswvLPdE0Wilhelm Richard Wagner - Flight of the Valkyries- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YOYlgvI1uEEdward Elgar and A.
