In this episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy and Kelley Brown, a Massachusetts U.S. history and civics teacher, interview Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Rick Atkinson, author of The British Are Coming: The War for America, Lexington to Princeton, 1775-1777. Mr. Atkinson explores the rise and fall of British imperial power in North America, the radical leadership of the American patriot Samuel Adams, and the early military struggles of General George Washington and the Continental Army. He discusses the brutal battlefield realities faced by Continental soldiers, the pivotal roles of Lafayette and the French alliance, and the ideological stakes of America's War for Independence. As the nation marks the 250th anniversary of the April 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord, Atkinson reflects on the Revolution's lasting lessons about civic sacrifice, liberty, and the meaning of American democratic ideals. In closing he reads a passage from his new book, The Fate of the Day: The War for America, Fort Ticonderoga to Charleston, 1777-1780.
Samuel Adams was called “the most elegant writer, the most sagacious politician, and celebrated patriot” by John Adams, his second cousin, and was applauded by other colleagues such as Thomas Jefferson. A mastermind behind the Boston Tea Party who helped mobilize the colonies to revolution, he is nonetheless an often overlooked figure amongst the Founding Fathers. Historian Stacy Schiff examines his transformation from the listless, failing son of a wealthy family into the tireless, silver-tongued revolutionary who rallied the likes of John Hancock and John Adams behind him. Recorded on November 28, 2023

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. In today's episode, host Sara Payne sits down with Mike Cronin, Cofounder and Chief Strategist at Verve, to explore the evolving landscape of creativity in B2B healthcare marketing. Mike, whose impressive résumé includes brand and campaign strategy for UnitedHealth Group, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Optum, and revered consumer brands like Harley-Davidson and Samuel Adams, brings a rare blend of creative vision and strategic rigor to his work. His fundamental belief? That creative work's purpose is to move people, not just fill space. In this conversation, Mike and Sara dive deep into how B2B health brands can move beyond “safe” ideas and unlock emotionally resonant, unforgettable campaigns—even within highly regulated and risk-averse spaces. They discuss why simplicity is a superpower, the importance of strategic “boxes,” and how marketing leaders can create environments where big swings are encouraged, not stifled. Along the way, Mike shares memorable stories from his work (including a campaign that fused Lizzo's “Good as Hell” into healthcare advertising), offers insight into the universal human truths marketers often miss, and outlines what separates teams that produce great creative from those that simply make noise. Thank you for being part of the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. The future of health care depends on it. Key Takeaways: Creativity Thrives Within Constraints: Mike challenges the conventional wisdom of “thinking outside the box.” He argues that true creativity is often unlocked not by limitless freedom, but by well-defined strategic constraints. It's within the confines of a focused brief—what Mike calls “the freedom of a tight brief”—that intelligent, emotionally resonant ideas emerge. Rather than aiming for “crazy” or “flashy,” the best creative is smart, intentional, and purpose-driven. Emotion and Human Truth are Universal, Even in B2B: B2B often gravitates toward rational benefits: cost savings, efficiency, or productivity. But, as Mike notes, even financial administrators and clinicians are humans first—they respond to messages that tap into universal emotions and experiences: hope, fear, dignity, and relief from frustration. Brands that connect on this human level, rather than just touting features and benefits, become memorable and meaningful. Strategic Alignment is the Key to Unlocking Great Creative: Teams that produce truly breakthrough work consistently prioritize strategy. When everyone is aligned on the core insight and brief, creativity can flow freely within those parameters. Conversely, weak or vague direction leads to “safe,” generic campaigns. Mike's experience shows that great creative always starts with a shared, sharp strategic foundation. Boldness is Essential for Breaking Through the Noise: Healthcare, especially B2B, often defaults to playing it safe (“everything's blue”)—but in a crowded marketplace, standing out is non-negotiable. Mike advocates for boldness that is grounded in the brand's truth and strategically anchored. The result: unforgettable, not just noisy, marketing. Leadership's Role: Foster Honesty, Empathy, and Trust: Leadership sets the tone for creativity and trust. Mike urges CMOs and marketing leaders to lead with clarity and honesty—eschewing “BS” and toxic positivity for real, truthful dialogue about challenges and opportunities. Teams (and audiences) respond to authenticity; when leaders call things as they are and create space for truth, better work results.

Wood highlights Benjamin Franklin's rise, James Otis's speech against the writs of assistance, and George Washington's crucial military leadership.

April 18, 2025 is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's "Midnight Ride" to alarm the towns around Boston that the "Regulars" were marching out to capture artillery and ammunition at Concord, or perhaps to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock. This was but the last of a series of crises that rocked New England in the months before the midnight ride and the battles of Lexington and Concord the next day. This episode explores those crises, known as the "Powder Alarms," and Paul Revere's central role in the resistance movement among Boston Whigs - including the famous Sons of Liberty - during those fraught years before the shooting began.

This month, we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the “shot heard round the world” that ignited the Revolutionary War. But before those battles, and before the Revolution became a war for independence, it was a movement—a fight to secure more local control over government. And no one worked harder to transform that movement into a revolution than Samuel Adams. To help us investigate, we're revisiting our conversation from Episode 350 with Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Stacy Schiff, author of The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams.

WE ARE A CHRISTIAN PEOPLE, AND THE MORALITY OF THE COUNTRY IS DEEPLY ENGRAFTED UPON CHRISTIANITY. Those were the words of Chief Justice James Kent of the United States Supreme Court, written by him in his opinion for the 1811 Case: People v. Ruggles.There were 56 signers of the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 29 of those original 56 signers ATTENDED SEMINARY! All 29 were Christian of various denominations and beliefs; but again, all were Christian. Most of them held orthodox Christian beliefs. Here the words of the very first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, John Jay, who said:“UNTO HIM WHO IS THE AUTHOR AND GIVER OF ALL GOOD, I RENDER SINCERE AND HUMBLE THANKS FOR HIS MANIFOLD AND UNMERITED BLESSINGS, AND ESPECIALLY FOR OUR REDEMPTION AND SALVATION BY HIS BELOVED SON.”Chief Justice Jay was a strong Christian. And so was the so-called FATHER OF THE REVOLUTION, Samuel Adams, who said of Jesus Christ:“I RECOMMEND MY SOULD TO THAT ALMIGHTY BEING WHO GAVE IT, AND MY BODY I COMMIT TO THE DUST, RELYING UPON THE MERITS OF JESUS CHRIST FOR A PARDON OF ALL MY SINS.”Sam Adams was a strong believer.And so was Benjamin Rush, who said of Jesus Christ:“NOTHING BUT HIS BLOOD WILL WASH AWAY MY SINS. I RELY EXCLUSIVELY UPON IT (HIM).”Another strong confession in faith by Founding Father Rush, who himself was a strong Christian. And so were other founding fathers including John Dickinson, Charles Carroll, and Roger Sherman. And even Benjamin Franklin, perhaps the least religious of the founding fathers, even said during the Constitutional Convention:“I HAVE LIVED, SIR, A LONG TIME AND THE LONGER I LIVE THE MORE CONVINCING PROOF I SEE OF THIS TRUTH, THAT GOD GOVERNS IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN.”A strong religious statement, a strong belief in God even if not necessarily the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.It is apparent, based upon the historical record, that the majority of the founding fathers, those who were responsible for our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and the moral foundation of our country, were in fact orthodox Christians.And, hear the words of John Adams who said:“OUR CONSTITUTION WAS MADE ONLY FOR A MORAL AND RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. IT IS WHOLLY INADEQUATE TO THE GOVERNMENT OF ANY OTHER.”To paraphrase those words, the further America moves away from its religious roots, and the morality contained therein, the more our very special Constitution looses value and authority, and it becomes, as John Adams well said, “inadequate to the government of any non-Christian or non-religious entity or nation.”But more importantly for the long term, Noah Webster, legislator, judge, educator, and soldier in the revolution, said:“THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION IS THE BASIS, OR RATHER THE SOURCE, OF ALL GENUINE FREEDOM IN GOVERNMENT. I AM PERSUADED (SAID WEBSTER) THAT NO CIVIL GOVERNMENT OF A REPUBLICAN FORM CAN EXIST AND BE DURABLE IN WHICH THE PRINCIPLES OF CHRISTIANITY HAVE NOT A CONTROLLING INFLUENCE.”Not only were the doctrine and theology of Christianity important, but the principles, the moral precepts of Christianity were absolutely essential to any government and especially the founding of the government and the nation of the United States of America. The founding fathers identified Christianity as fundamental to the creation of our country and even more importantly, ESSENTIAL to the continuation of self-governance. The principles and concepts of the Ten Commandments, the wisdom of the prophets of old, and the moral teachings of Jesus Christ in the gospels, and the Pauline principles in the New Testament books thereafter, were indeed the spiritual, philosophic, and political basis upon which America was founded, established in time, and counted upon as absolutely ESSENTIAL for the continuation and survival of this great country.But, these same solidly Christian founding fathers made it very clear that no one would be compelled to adopt Christianity, believe in it, or practice the principles of Christian theology. Every other legitimate religion would be respected and fully allowed, embodied so clearly in the words of our First Amendment:“CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF.”America, then and now, would never permit under any circumstances one religion to be adopted by the country, like England of old, no religion established, forced, or required for any citizen in any way. In fact, just the opposite, it was the absolute right of every citizen of this great country that each would be permitted the very free exercise of any legitimate religion anywhere in this country.But understand my fellow Americans, that this First Amendment freedom and absolute right applied only to the Federal Government. That allowed the individual states, 13 at the time, to openly advocate for certain religious practices if the majority of the citizens of that state so decided. In actual historical fact, 8 of the 13 states had a state recognized or endorsed church or religion. 8 OUT OF 13! Some of the states even required public officials to be Christians as a precondition to holding office. Every one of the 13 states openly and publicly promoted Christianity through their educational systems requiring all children in the educational system to be instructed in the “truth of Christianity.”So then, the moral principles, the practices and beliefs which underly our Constitution and our Bill of Rights fully revealed in inspired scripture are indeed the foundation, the source, the basis of all of the freedoms and inalienable rights which we enjoy and so often, to our shame, take for granted. America and WE THE PEOPLE were at one time fully Christian, moral in our lifestyle and way of life, strong spiritual beliefs that themselves made us strong. How far this great country and We The People have moved from our very special spiritual beginnings and it is critical, crucial, absolutely essential that we return to these very same critical and essential principles, way of life, if this great country will continue and even survive. Our God is real, the very basic and most essential part of the founding of our country and without His blessing and without our moral change-back, America cannot survive. There is time and opportunity to do just that, and we cannot allow those forces which are essentially anti-American and as such, anti-Christian to prevail.NOW MORE THAN EVER, WE THE PEOPLE MUST FIGHT THE FIGHT OF FAITH!

In this powerful episode of The Wandering Pilgrims, we revisit the stirring speech delivered by Samuel Adams at the State House in Philadelphia on August 1, 1776. As the American colonies stood on the brink of revolution, Adams passionately articulates the urgent need for independence from British rule, urging his fellow countrymen to recognize their inherent rights to liberty and self-governance. Adams begins with a humble acknowledgment of the weight of the moment, expressing his fervor for the cause while cautioning his audience to consider his words with discernment. He draws parallels between the struggle for religious freedom and the fight against political oppression, emphasizing that the same divine principles that guided their forefathers must now inspire their quest for freedom. He boldly declares that true happiness and justice cannot coexist under tyranny, and he implores his fellow citizens to reject the notion that they should submit to the whims of a distant monarchy. With a blend of historical reflection and moral conviction, Adams critiques the injustices faced by the colonies, challenging the legitimacy of British authority and calling for unity among the people. He paints a vivid picture of the sacrifices made by those who came before them and the dire consequences of inaction. As he rallies his compatriots, he invokes the spirit of their shared struggle, urging them to rise against oppression and claim their rightful place as free men. This episode not only captures the essence of Adams' impassioned rhetoric but also serves as a poignant reminder of the principles that underpin the American spirit.

Join us on The Wandering Pilgrims as we uncover the stories of two remarkable women who played pivotal roles in the life of one of America's founding fathers, Samuel Adams. In this episode, we shine a light on Elizabeth Checkley Adams and Elizabeth Wells Adams, the steadfast wives who anchored Samuel's tumultuous life with their unwavering faith, resilience, and love. Elizabeth Checkley Adams, Samuel's first wife, emerged from a lineage of courage and faith. As the daughter of Reverend Samuel Checkley, her life was a testament to virtue and grace. Her unwavering support and deep spiritual bond with Samuel left an indelible mark on his life, even after her untimely passing in 1757. Her legacy of strength and devotion shaped Samuel's empathy and dedication to public service. Following Elizabeth Checkley's death, Samuel Adams found companionship once more with Elizabeth Wells Adams. The daughter of a respected English merchant, Elizabeth Wells brought patience and fortitude to her role as a wife and stepmother. Her cheerful disposition and efficient management of the household allowed Samuel to focus on his revolutionary endeavors. Her virtues were no ordinary traits; she upheld the family's welfare through challenging times, embodying the values of liberty and compassion. Both Elizabeth Checkley and Elizabeth Wells were not merely wives but partners in faith and resilience. Their quiet strength and unwavering support enabled Samuel Adams to pursue his vision for a free America. These women's stories remind us of the vital roles women have played in history, often away from the public eye but at the heart of personal and national triumphs. Thank you for joining us on this journey through the lives of Elizabeth Checkley Adams and Elizabeth Wells Adams. Their intertwined legacy with Samuel Adams is a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and quiet strength.

Step back in time with us as we explore the tense atmosphere of colonial America through the lens of a pivotal proclamation by Governor Thomas Gage. As tensions between the British crown and the American colonies reach a boiling point, Gage's proclamation paints a vivid picture of rebellion, authority, and the quest for order amidst chaos. In this episode, we delve into the language and intent behind Gage's words, revealing the British perspective on the unfolding American Revolution. Gage condemns the actions of colonial leaders--even making mention of the leaders in the pulpits who are stoking the flames (for more on this, check out our short on the black robe regiment linked). He labels them as incendiaries and traitors, while seemingly offering a path to peace for those willing to lay down their arms. Yet, he spares no leniency for figures like Samuel Adams and John Hancock, whose defiance he deems unforgivable. The proclamation offers a stark choice: submission to royal authority or the harsh consequences of rebellion. Gage's call for martial law underscores the gravity of the situation, as he seeks to restore order and protect loyal subjects from the chaos of insurrection. Through this document, we gain insight into the complexities of governance during a time of unprecedented turmoil. Join us as we unravel the historical context and implications of Governor Gage's proclamation, a document that captures the essence of a nation on the brink of revolution.

Welcome to The Wandering Pilgrims, where history and faith intertwine to tell the stories of those who shaped our nation. Today, we delve into the life of Samuel Adams, often hailed as the father of the American Revolution. His journey is one of unwavering faith, relentless pursuit of liberty, and deep trust in God's sovereignty. Born on September 27, 1722, in Boston, Massachusetts, Samuel Adams was nurtured in a household that valued education and faith. His early education at home and Boston Latin School prepared him for Harvard, which he entered at the tender age of 14. Although he aspired to be a minister, his parents directed him toward business, apprenticing him under Thomas Cushing. Despite his parents' wishes, Adams' heart was set on serving the public. In 1756, he was elected as Boston's tax collector, a role that highlighted his empathy and integrity. His reluctance to force collections on the impoverished spoke volumes of his character and earned him the trust of the common people. Adams' passion for liberty was ignited by his strong belief in God's Providence. He believed that freedom was not just a political ideal, but a divine mandate. This conviction led him to initiate the Massachusetts Circular and play pivotal roles in events like the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. Adams' faith was not confined to private devotion. As a member of the Continental Congress, he advocated for national days of prayer and fasting, recognizing that the success of the American cause depended on God's favor. His suggestion to have the meeting opened with a prayer by a non-Puritan minister demonstrated his spirit of religious tolerance and reliance on God's guidance. Samuel Adams' political career was marked by significant contributions, including signing the Declaration of Independence and helping draft the Massachusetts Constitution, which reflected his belief in the Christian foundation of governance. His life was a testament to steadfast faith and public service, guided by an unwavering trust in God's sovereign plan. Samuel Adams' story reminds us that true leadership is rooted in faith and integrity. Thank you for joining us here at The Wandering Pilgrims.

Kärel had a helluva Guess that Packer. Then Andy and Max help Kärel with his no way parlay. Max has some big news regarding a TJ and The ANT & a HUA collab! Then Max and Kärel talked challenges and how it's been affecting their mental health both positively and negatively. Laughs, burps, jokes, swearing and so much more! But before any of that nonsense, they saved the best for first, with the Beer of the Week! During the BOW the fellas rate and review a new beer. They discuss the history of the brewery and examine what's in the beer they're drinking. Then, they break down the beer by its drinkability, the probability they'd drink it again, its chugability, and the can's attractability.

What lessons can we extract from the acquisition of Simple Mills and majority sale of Spindrift, valued at nearly $1.5 billion combined? The hosts talk about what these better-for-you brands did right and what made them attractive to strategic companies and investors. We also sit down with Marcin Malyszko and Amit Singh, the co-founders of Mission Cocktails, a purpose-driven brand of premium ready-to-serve bottled cocktails. Show notes: 0:25: Las Diego. Big(ish) Food Was Listening. Neighbor's Big Pay Day. Hopped Up. Imposters, Deer & Bears. – John and Ray are heading west. Are you as well? Let them know. Nearly a year after Ray's rant, Simple Mills got its flowers. So did Spindrift, but we still don't have a vending machine. We're happy that hop-infused water is finally getting its due (at least from the New York Times), but less pleased with an oddly-named brand of non-alcoholic spirits. John highlights an animal-themed water, and Mike does the same, but for a ginger beer, before Jacqui praises purple snacks. 27:27: Interview: Marcin Malyszko & Amit Singh, Co-Founders, Mission Cocktails – A brand of premium ready-to-serve cocktails that donates 5% of gross revenue to local food banks, Mission Cocktails launched in 2023 and markets several products, including a Manhattan, a Margarita and a Mai Tai, all packaged in 375 mL glass bottles. The brand is sold in over 500 retail stores, including Gelson's, BevMo, Pavilions and Whole Foods. Marcin and Amit discuss the origins of Mission Cocktails and how their focus on “liquid to lips” and persistent effort to connect with retail executives has helped the brand make significant strides over the past 12 months. Brands in this episode: Mission Cocktails, Simple Mills, Nature's Own, Dave's Killer Bread, Wonder, Canyon Bakehouse, Tastykake, Samuel Adams, Peet's Coffee, Stirrings, Partake Brewing, Athletic Brewing Co., Lacroix, HopLark, Hop Wtr, Imposter Beverages, Father's Deer, Liquid Death, Bear & Beaver, Purplesful Snacks
