Podcast appearances and mentions of Samuel West

Jane Austen created the definitive picture of Georgian England. No writer matches Austen's sensitive ear for the hypocrisy and irony lurking beneath the genteel conversation. That's the argument of the Janeites, but to the aficionados of Emily Brontë they are the misguided worshippers of a circumscribed mind. In Wuthering Heights, Brontë dispensed with Austen's niceties and the upper-middle class drawing rooms of Bath and the home counties. Her backdrop is the savage Yorkshire moors, her subject the all-consuming passions of the heart. To help you decide who should be crowned queen of English letters we have the lined up the best advocates to make the case for each writer. In this event, chaired by author and critic Erica Wagner, we invited guests including author Kate Mosse, Professor and author John Mullan, and actors Mariah Gale, Samuel West and Dominic West, to discuss each writer's influence.

In this episode, we explore the concept of "conceptual dyslexia" with Samuel West, the founder of the Museum of Failure. We discuss how this term illuminates the cognitive processes of creative thinkers who connect diverse concepts, enhancing our understanding of the world. Samuel shares insights on navigating creativity amidst uncertainty, emphasizing the delicate balance between comfort and critical thinking. Our conversation delves into the influence of context on identity and behavior, revealing how we adapt in different environments. One standout moment is Samuel's introduction of "Failure No. 5," a perfume that embodies failure, celebrating the creative potential found in setbacks. We also challenge contemporary marketing norms, contemplating the possibility of launching products without social media's influence. This episode invites listeners to embrace resilience and curiosity, inspiring a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of creativity and personal growth.

Host Jo Reed and AudioFile Magazine's Robin Whitten discuss a magical children's audiobook from author Katherine Rundell, and narrated by English actor Samuel West. If Christopher weren't holding a baby griffin, he never would have come to believe his grandfather about the hidden archipelago where magical creatures live—or agreed when Mal, a girl who is looking for her griffin, asks him to go there and help her find out why they're dying. West's presentation shines as he provides voices appropriate for the magical world's denizens, and increasing emphasis as the journey becomes more dangerous and its consequences more dire.

My guest on the Innovation Storytellers Show this week is someone who's turned understanding and exhibiting failures into an art form. Dr. Samuel West is a licensed clinical psychologist keen on the intersection of happiness, work, and cultural perceptions of failure. Dr. West's journey from treating clinical issues like depression to exploring organizational psychology led him to an intriguing discovery: the crucial role of failure in fostering innovation and creativity. His work, especially his teachings at Lund University on positive psychology and creativity, culminates in creating a fascinating project—the Museum of Failure. This traveling exhibition, which I had the pleasure of experiencing first-hand in Los Angeles, showcases failures from the tech industry and beyond, including memorable flops like Pepsi's Clear cola and Microsoft's Zune. In today's episode, Samuel and I explore the many layers of failure—from its inevitability in pursuing innovation to its potential as a catalyst for significant breakthroughs. We discuss how rebranding failures as experiments can change our perspective and lessen the sting of setbacks, making innovation less agonizing and more fruitful. Tune in as we dissect the lessons housed within the Museum of Failure and uncover why continuing to experiment, even in the face of apparent failure, is vital for sustained innovation in an ever-evolving world.

Remember New Coke? Colgate frozen lasagna? The Hawaii chair? History is littered with commercial failures. Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson, PhD, author of “Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well,” and organizational psychologist Samuel West, PhD, curator of the Museum of Failure, talk about some of commerce's biggest flops, the difference between simply failing and “failing well;” and how individuals and organizations can get past the fear of failure, recognize its potential upsides and learn from their mistakes.

The Museum of Failure[1] is a museum that features a collection of failed products and services. The touring exhibition provides visitors with a learning experience about the critical role of failure in innovation and encourages organizations to become better at learning from failure. Samuel West's 2016 visit to the Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb, Croatia, inspired the concept of the museum.[2] Museum founder and curator Samuel West reportedly registered a domain name for the museum and later realized he had misspelled the word museum.[3] The Swedish Innovation Authority (Vinnova) partially funded the museum.[4] The exhibition opened on June 7, 2017, in Helsingborg, Sweden.[3] The exhibit reopened at Dunkers Kulturhus on June 2, 2018, before closing in January 2019. A temporary exhibit opened in Los Angeles, California, in December 2017.[5] The Los Angeles museum was on Hollywood Boulevard in the Hollywood & Highland Center.[6] The exhibit opened in January - March 2019 at Shanghai, No.1 Center (上海第一百货). [7] And in December 2019 a smaller version opened in Paris, France at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie along with other interesting failure-related exhibitions for the "Festival of Failures" (Les Foirés festival des flops, des bides, des ratés et des inutiles).[8]

This bonus episode was recorded live at the Global Bird Fair, and is a conversation with the Actor, Director, RSPB Ambassador and Trainspotter-turned-Birder, Samuel West. Samuel talks about his recent experiences shooting the Channel 5/PBS Masterpiece remake of “All Creatures Great and Small” in the Yorkshire Dales; how the rural connection to nature and community helped him and many of its viewers through the pressure of the COVID lockdowns, and how the production team had to wrestle with some unique anachronistic wildlife - Swifts appearing in the June-shot Christmas special, Collared Doves appearing in a drama set in 1940 (despite not reaching Yorkshire until 1958), and extinct Red Kites obsessed with photobombing! Samuel's love of birds began upon a visit to his grandfather in Kenya, has taken him to film “Death in Paradise” in no small part because of the endemic Guadalupian avifauna on set, and helped him with the pressures of running the Sheffield Crucible Theatre. To Sam, nature is key to contentment: “No matter how nice the person is you might be in bed with, it's worth getting up and getting out at first light, some of the time…” As an RSPB Ambassador, he takes particular relish in raising a placard board; speaking out against environmental concerns such as the construction of the Nuclear Plant, Sizewell C; but also believes British Wildlife easily competes with the impressive sights of the African savannah having seen 4,500 waders take to the air in one bound at RSPB Snettisham.

Consumers have the buying power but how much are they considered when a brand decides to make a change? In this edition of The Food Chain Ruth Alexander takes a look at what goes into developing some of the products we know and love. We travel to the northwest of England to a consumer taste testing facility, Wirral Sensory Services. Such businesses would have been few and far between just decades ago but now they're a big part of the research process when brands look to launch new products or make changes to existing ones. Consumer expert Dr Sara Jaeger tells us about the benefits and the limitations of these tests and business consultant Samuel West talks us through some of the most well know failures in food.

Där ligger den, den stora bajskorven mitt på gatan. Blä! Du rynkar på näsan, du kisar. Kanske sträcker du ut tungan. Vi gör en grimas som har ett evolutionärt syfte att skydda oss från fara. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Dina äckelkänslor är till för att hålla dig frisk. Innan virus och bakterier når kroppen kan du genom ditt beteende undvika eventuella smittor, för att du just äcklas. Du tar ett extra varv runt den där bajskorven som ligger på trottoaren, du rynkar på näsan när du sniffar på den gamla mjölken i kylen och kanske håller du andan när du kliver in på den offentliga toaletten. – Man ser det nu som en del av immunförsvaret, den här reflexen inför ruttnade saker är väldigt bra för oss, särskilt om man är allätare som människan. Det håller oss friska, berättar evolutionsforskaren Patrik Lindgren. Vårt äckel är alltså evolutionärt viktigt för oss, för vår överlevnad, men det kan också leda oss fel. Vi kan äcklas över saker som vi inte alls behöver vara rädda för eller undvika. Det kan vara kulturellt, som maten som äts i ett annat land, eller moraliskt. Jonas Olofsson som är professor i psykologi har forskat på hur vårt äckel bland annat är kopplat till vad vi tycker och tänker. Att äcklas över något eller någon kan vara allt annat än oskyldigt menar han:– Det är ett starkt avståndstagande och stigmatiserande att anse att folk luktar illa. Det här är inte oskyldiga känslor. Det här har genom historien haft stora effekter, Under slavhandeln så motiverad man att man behandla människor illa, man dehumaniserade andra människor genom att säga att de var äckliga, att t. ex. luktade illa.Så hur ska vi navigera bland våra äckelkänslor? När behöver vi dem och när ska vi bemöta dem kritiskt? Vad gör våra äckelkänslor för oss idag?Äckel är en av de där grundkänslorna som hjälper oss att överleva genom historien. Men äckel kan också leda oss fel. Så vad gör äckelkänslorna för dig idag?Gäster i programmet: Jonas Olofsson, professor i psykologi, Stockholms UniversitetPatrik Lindenfors, evolutionsforskare vid Stockholms Universitet.Samuel West, psykolog och kreativitetsforskare, medgrundare till Museum of disgusting food.Programledare: Ulrika Hjalmarson NeidemanProducent: Shang ImamProgrammet är direktsänt

#413 Oddities and Curiosities in the Museum of Failure: Revealing How the World's Biggest Brands Innovate with Samuel West ----- Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY  In a society where only successful ventures are celebrated and failures are hidden behind velvet curtains, one man dared to reveal the trials and tribulations of failure. Dr. Samuel West is a man on a mission. As a clinical psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy, he has always been passionate about the psychology of happiness, especially in relation to work. But it wasn't until mid-career that he decided to take a break from consulting and dive deeper into his research. For five years, Samuel taught courses on positive psychology, creativity, and organizational science at Lund University. His doctoral thesis in organizational psychology focused on how workplace playfulness, experimentation, and exploration could boost innovation. It was during this time that the idea for the Museum of Failure was born. But the road to success was not an easy one. In fact, Samuel's initial idea for the museum was met with resistance from his ex-business partner, leading to a series of challenges that led to his personal bankruptcy. Undeterred, Samuel continued to pursue his vision, pouring his heart and soul into creating a space where failure could be honored and learned from. Since founding the Museum of Failure, Samuel has become the leading expert in helping teams and organizations understand the crucial role of failure in innovation and progress. He continues to inspire and educate people around the world about the importance of embracing failure as a necessary part of growth and success. Through his work, Samuel is changing the way we think about failure and, in turn, changing the world.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Most entrepreneurs don't achieve success on their first try. But what if you fail several times in a row? In an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Samuel West—Founder of the Museum of Failure—we explore the connections between fear, risk-taking, and failure. Samuel dedicated his career as a psychologist to understanding the role of failure in innovation and progress. What he uncovered was the paradoxical connection between failure and success. He created the Museum of Failure for people to share stories of their biggest setbacks. But would these tales help others embrace their own shortcomings? Here's how Samuel started the Museum of Failure and why he believes accepting failure is the first step toward growth. Intrigued by Dr. Samuel West's journey?

When Peter and Jason discovered that there was a museum dedicated to failure, their response was of course… Really, no really?   They both began to ruminate about their own failures and the relationship between failure and innovation, so they turned to Swedish psychologist and innovation researcher, Dr. Samuel West for more insight.   Dr. West is the curator of the Museum of Failure, a collection of over 150 failed products and services from around the world. This rare collection includes flops designed by world famous companies like Colgate's Beef Lasagna. And if anyone could make Jason and Peter feel better about their failed T.V. show… Bob Patterson… it should be Dr. West.   During their conversation you'll hear: The worst thing Anthony Bourdain ever ate. The beloved American beverage considered disgusting by the rest of the world. Why Procter & Gamble invented the phrase ‘anal leakage.' Jason's notorious McDonalds fail. The secret reason Oreos come in so many crazy flavors. The small-bladdered golf enthusiasts dream accessory. The automotive failure that featured a Frank Sinatra TV show & a female genitalia-like grill. The “Failure Paradox”. Silicon Valley's “fail fast” ethos.

Genom att busa kan du utveckla din kreativitet och och våga ta risker rädslan för att misslyckas blir mindre. Men vad händer när det lekfulla buset övergår i elakhet eller penalism? – Bus är lite som vuxnas karneval under medeltiden. Det är lite upproriskt. När barn busar i sin lek så är det mer en lek som ifrågasätter normer och beteenden, säger Margareta Öhman, psykolog och lekforskare.– Det är ett sätt att göra motstånd mot vuxnas norm. I sin avhandling skrev psykologen Samuel West om vilken roll leken har på arbetsplatsen. Men han stötte tidigt i sin forskning på en en paradox – att leken till sin natur inte kan kan vara resultat- eller målfokuserad. Då upphör den nämligen att vara en lek.– Man uppnår ju inget med lek. Det är trams och kul. Därför skulle man tro att de inte passar in på företag där hela strukturen för en organisation handlar om att uppnå mål. Å ena sidan är leken per definition inte produktiv, å andra sidan är den engagerande, kreativ och skapar psykologisk trygghet, en nödvändighet för att människor ska trivas på en arbetsplats. Men så fort det finns en målsättning med leken eller buset så upphör det automatiskt att vara lekfullt. Det är därför det är så svårt att hålla på med lek på jobbet trots att det skulle behövas, menar psykologen Samuel West. Men alla är inte heller särskilt roade av vare sig lek eller bus. Är du en sån som skrattat åt ett practical joke eller känner du dig bara obekväm? Och vad beror det på? Det tar vi reda på i Kropp & Själ – Därför ska du busa.Gäster i programmet:Margareta Öhman, psykolog och lekforskareLisa Langseth, regissör och dramatikerSamuel West, psykolog och fil. doktor i Kreativitet och lekfullhetProgramledare: Ulrika Hjalmarson NeidemanProducent: Shang ImamReportrar: Ninos Chamoun och Simon Sarnecki

The Idiots talk epic failure with Dr Samuel West and it was fucking awesome!

The first episode is about the fans – why do they love or identify with the Moomins? Unbeknownst to many, there is an entire subculture built around the unique and curious creatures and characters from Moominvalley. In this episode, we travel to the North of Sweden to a tattoo studio to meet a fan ready to eternalise Moominmamma right onto human flesh. We also travel to Japan to visit a Moominpark where we meet Moomin-crazed fans. We search for the very first Moomin troll on an island in Finland, and find it on the wall of an outside loo. In London, we find well-known actor Samuel West who like many others was instantly hooked when he bought his first Moomin books as a child. We also hear from a hard-core Moomin fan whose childhood was made a lot brighter thanks to the Moomin stories, as well as from others engaged in the world-wide Moomin fan community.

Hamlet is the Shakespearean character that many actors long to play. Jade Anouka is one of those actors. She talks to past Hamlets– Sir Derek Jacobi, Adrian Lester, Samuel West and Tessa Parr – about the challenges in approaching the part. And she hears the fabled story of The Red Book, a red-bound copy of the play, begun by the actor Sir Johnston Forbes-Robinson, who passed the book on to a successive actor on the condition that in turn they passed it onto the finest Hamlet of the next generation. Derek Jacobi tells the story of receiving it from Peter O'Toole and passing it on to Kenneth Branagh, who in turn passed it on to Tom Hiddleston. Jade wonders where the book might go next. Jade also explores why Hamlet as a part holds such fascination for actors. Here's the rub - no one can tell you what Hamlet is about. A revenge tragedy, an Oedipal drama, a political betrayal, a study of insanity, the portrait of a fatally flawed genius. Each actor makes it his own but has to deal with the weight of its history. Derek Jacobi tells the story of performing ‘To be or not to be' only to hear the voice of Sir Winston Churchill joining in from the front row. Adrian Lester describes how he whispered each famous speech to himself in an attempt to get back to the essence of the language. And each generation interprets Hamlet as an expression of their own time. Professor Michael Dobson from the Shakespeare Institute describes a production he saw in Ukraine in a cellar now used as a bomb shelter.

Once upon a time, a Shakespeare play on BBC Radio would inevitably feature actors with perfect received pronunciation. Now that has all changed. Actor Samuel West, no stranger to Shakespearian roles, is joined by Dr Andrea Smith to hear how horizons have widened and productions enriched by new voices and new settings for the plays. We'll hear about plays set in India, plays recorded in Welsh, those with characters clearly from Africa or the Caribbean and voices that are far from the cut glass of RP. Presented by Samuel West and Dr Andrea Smith Produced by Susan Marling A Just Radio Production

By the time the BBC had come of age in the 70s and 80s, radio production had become a creative art. The Radiophonic Workshop could famously transport listeners to imagined worlds and this was certainly the case with productions of Shakespeare. Actor Samuel West and Dr Andrea Smith celebrate the creativity that gave us everything from the magic of Puck and Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream to battle scenes and the horrors of the gouging of eyes in King Lear. Presented by Samuel West and Dr Andrea Smith Produced by Susan Marling A Just Radio Production

Actor Samuel West, who has played many Shakespearian roles - some of them on the radio - is joined by Dr Andrea Smith as they take a trip through 100 years (nearly) of Shakespeare on the 'wireless'. Today they focus on one returning character - Juliet from Romeo and Juliet. This is without doubt the most popular play and there are wonderful very early clips of actors such as Fay Compton taking the role in 1944. We hear how sometimes the part of 14-year-old Juliet was taken by an actor old enough to be her grandmother and about the snobbery attached to the idea of how exactly Shakespeare should be spoken. Presented by Samuel West and Dr Andrea Smith Produced by Susan Marling A Just Radio Production

Actor Samuel West is joined by Dr Andrea Smith in a journey through 100 years (nearly) of Shakespeare on the radio. You might think that the years of the Second World War would have given listeners a thirst for history plays and great stirring speeches such as those in Henry V. But in fact it was pastoral comedy that was most popular - a reminder perhaps of the idealised, imagined Britain that people were fighting to protect. We hear too how production techniques gained sophistication and that theatricality slowly gave way to realism. Presented by Samuel West and Dr Andrea Smith Produced by Susan Marling A Just Radio Production

Soon after the BBC was born came the ambition to broadcast Shakespeare plays on 'the wireless'. Theatres refused to allow recording of stage versions so the BBC had to go it alone. The BBC's first Director-General, Lord Reith, thought radio well suited to the task of producing Shakespeare: ‘The plays of Shakespeare fulfil to a great extent the requirements of wireless, for he had little in the way of setting and scenery, and relied chiefly on the vigour of his plot and the conviction of the speakers to convey his ideas. It is not at all unlikely that wireless will render a highly important service in popularising Shakespeare.' Our series looks at how well Reith's ambition was realised. We have brilliant clips from some of the country's best loved actors who have performed Shakespeare on the radio as productions grew more sophisticated, as acting styles changed and as radio's production values allowed the listener to experience Shakespeare's world in the most imaginative way.

Our guest is Dr. Samuel West, a licensed psychologist with a PhD in Organizational Psychology and the founder of The Museum of Failure. The Museum of Failure is a traveling collection of failed products and services from around the world - it serves as a fascinating learning experience which provides unique insight into the risky business of innovation. We discuss how innovation and progress require an acceptance of failure, and how being open to failure and the lessons learned from it, can inspire us to take more meaningful risks. We explore the fear of failure, both on the organizational scale and the personal level, and how there's an increasing interest in spaces that allow for productive conversations on this topic.  And finally, we dive into ways to measure creativity and the difference between good and bad failure. Enjoy!  Please do take a virtual tour of the Museum of Failure below: https://museumoffailure.com/ Please don't forget to share/rate/review/subscribe  

Is failure always bad – or should we look at it as an essential on the path to innovation? Samuel West is the director of the Museum of Failure, which exhibits unsuccessful products and services from across the world. He speaks to Ahir Shah about how accepting when things don't work out, being brave enough to fail and going through the dustbin of history. “Most charities are terrified of failing at things - but the paradox is that if they don't innovate they are probably doing the wrong things.” “There are thousands of solutions - many of which will fail but we must take risks to answer huge questions.” “Some CEOs keep projects alive through artificial respiration ,sometimes you need to know when to bail.” https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Andrew Harrison.
