Podcast appearances and mentions of Sean Anthony

The YouTube video by Sean Anthony introduces a "writerless method" for book creation, contrasting it with the traditional, time-consuming approach. He highlights the significant desire for book authorship versus the low completion rate. Instead of writing, Anthony proposes leveraging AI to convert interviews or existing content into books, either for personal use or as a client service. This method offers a faster, easier path to publishing, potentially generating income by serving experts who lack the time or inclination to write. He outlines the process involving topic selection, content conversion, formatting, and publishing, suggesting it's a high-demand, low-competition opportunity.

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to professor Sean Anthony about his book Muhammad and the Empires of Faith: The Making of the Prophet of Islam. Anthony is a historian in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at The Ohio State University. He earned his Ph.D. with honors in 2009 at the University of Chicago in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, and has a mastery of Arabic, Persian, Syriac, French, and German. Anthony's interests are broadly religion and society in late antiquity and medieval Islam, early canonical literatures of Islam (Koran and Hadith) and statecraft and political thought from the foundational period of Islam down to the Abbasid Caliphate over a century later. Razib and Anthony discuss the state of the controversial scholarship about the origins of Islam, which often comes to conclusions that challenge the orthodox Muslim narrative. This earlier generation of scholars, like Patricia Crone, challenged the historicity of Muhammad, the centrality of Mecca in early Islam and even the distinctive religious identity of the early 7th century's Near East's Arab conquerors. This revisionist school serves as the basis for Tom Holland's 2012 book, In the Shadow of the Sword: The Birth of Islam and the Rise of the Global Arab Empire. While Holland's work was an accurate summary of research before the 2010's, Anthony argues that since then new findings have updated and revised the revisionism itself. A Koran dating from the mid-7th century seems to confirm the antiquity of this text and traditions around it, while contemporaneous non-Muslim sources refer to Muhammad as an Arabian prophet. While it is true that coinage did not bear the prophet's name until the end of the 7th century, it may be that earlier generations of scholars were misled by the lack of access to contemporary oral sources themselves necessarily evanescent. Razib and Anthony also discuss whether the first Muslims actually self-identified as Muslims in a way we would understand, as opposed to being a heterodox monotheistic sect that emerged out of Christianity and Judaism. Though classical Islam qua Islam crystallized under the Abbasids after 750 AD, it now seems quite clear that the earlier Umayyads had a distinct identity from the Christians and Jews whom they ruled.    

Episode 125 might be one of the most unique stories you've heard to this day! Sean Anthony is a born and raised Vancouverite but his path turned into an interesting one. A young Sean was not exposed to the game early on, and it wasn't until he made the move to St. George's School that he was introduced to the game and why it was so great. From there Sean played Provincial team, and had successful high school years but carries some interesting reflection on why his grade 12 year maybe wasn't as heavy a recruiting list as he would have hoped! Ending up at McGill, where the coach that recruited him had left made for another interesting experience where Sean persevered learning lots about himself and his game! In 2010 Sean was the 6th overall pick and adjusted to the pro game quickly! Fast forward to today, Sean is a long-standing PBA basketball player, with many career and league highlights! We also touch on things like perspective on business and life after hoops! A great story that shows how many paths there are for us and the game, tap in and hear more about Sean! Let's go!

Coming towards the end of the first volume of the Evergetinos, it is clear that we are being nourished upon solid food. During these many weeks, the fathers have been leading us into a deeper understanding of the virtue of humility. It is one thing to understand the definition of humility; even something as clear as “truthful living”. However, it is only in the illustrative stories that the fathers give us that we move from the realm of imagination, personal judgment and reason to see this virtue with the eyes of faith. What we are called to is the perfect humility of Christ; he who sought only to do the will of his heavenly father. Christ sacrifices himself for the sake of love. What we see in the stories is the subtlety with which we focus upon the ego even as we pursue things that are religious. We are presented in particular with a powerful story about Saint Anthony the Great. He is told that a cobbler in the city has reached a level of greater sanctity than he has despite his ascetic rigors. This cobbler saw himself as the least of all the people in the entire city and the most worthy of condemnation and judgment by God. He would tell himself this in the morning and at night. What is significant about this is that he does not compare himself with any other person in acknowledging this truth. Looking at God he can only see his need for mercy and for complete gratitude. Yet Anthony as great as he was and having sacrificed so much still had a question within his heart. Is there anyone out there who has attained a level of greater sanctity? At that moment, Anthony turns his gaze away from God in order to compare himself with others. He loses sight, if only for a moment, of God. To gaze only upon God and his love drives out every element of ego. There is only Christ! --- Text of chat during the group: 00:08:36 FrDavid Abernethy: page 400 para 76   00:09:41 Suzanne: LOL!!!   00:41:23 sharonfisher: I hope everyone knows about the Orthodox Christian Prison Ministry. Poor or wayward folks that end up imprisoned could benefit so much from the work these folks do. I feel like the prison cell could be substitute for a monk's cell or the isolation of the desert fathers. (Not sure where this fits in the discussion, but seems relevant.)   00:42:11 sharonfisher: AGREE!   00:43:54 Michael Hinckley: St Thomas Moore choose to see his cell in the tower as such I believe.   00:46:24 Suzanne: I think that I've actually made myself sick from self-reproach because of my past. Thirty years of extreme desolation has warped my perception of God's love for my soul. Self-reproach can be a form of self-torture. The desert fathers is the first time anything I've come across has given me courage.   00:48:00 Lee Graham: Hear, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest.   01:12:13 Sean: Anthony's ego? gosh...he's called Great.   01:16:29 Sean: compare and despair   01:16:55 Steve Yu: Reacted to "compare and despair" with

I feel like Sean is doing visually what I try doing through audio - capturing a community at a certain time during a transition. I am a big photography fan and came across Sean's photos on Instagram, I like both his urban landscapes and gentle portraits. What I always appreciate is nuance and Sean was really mindful when talking about capturing the changes around him. You can also really hear the joy about connecting with people on the street when he retells these stories.

A conversation with Sean Anthony (Ohio State University) about the earliest sources for the life of the Prophet Muhammad, including the Quran, papyri, inscriptions, and Christian sources of the seventh century, and how Muslims were initially perceived by the Romans of the eastern provinces. The conversation is based on Sean's book Muhammad and the Empires of Faith: The Making of the Prophet of Islam (University of California Press 2020).

Professional basketball player Sean Anthony takes us behind the scenes of the Philippine Basketball Association 2020 bubble as he gears up for another season this year. (The PBA was the first professional basketball league in Asia and remains the second oldest continuous professional basketball league in the world, after the NBA.) A native of Canada with Filipino roots on his mother's side, Sean played varsity hoops at McGill University before entering the PBA. (The inventor of the game of basketball, James Naismith, also studied and taught physical education at McGill University.) Now the team captain of Northport Batang Pier, Sean chats with us about favorite players, what separates the good from the great, the importance of mental conditioning, and the career path of pro ballers after the sport. Named PBA Defensive Player of the Year by the PBA Press Corps in 2019, Sean is obviously a force to reckon with, but it's his devotion to his family and principles that has us cheering. This Father's Day episode is dedicated to all the sports fans, anyone trying to set new records for themselves, and all the father figures out there. --- Follow Sean on IG and Twitter @seananthony10 More on his Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) studies et al See the PBA 2019 Game of the Season: NorthPort Batang Pier's triple overtime victory over the top-seeded NLEX Road Warriors Coverage: https://tv5.espn.com/basketball/pba/story/_/id/28175158/northport-knocks-nlex-triple-ot-classic Highlights: https://www.philsports.ph/2019/11/pba-quarterfinals-nlex-vs-northport-nov-27.html Follow Northport Batang Pier on IG and Facebook @NorthPortPH --- Other references: Mighty Ducks https://time.com/mighty-ducks/ Love & Basketball https://tv5.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/29069339/an-oral-history-love-basketball-20-years-later Sean's Recommended Reading: 1.

Few reality shows are as popular or as divisive as Bravo's Real Housewives, a franchise that has included casts in Orange County, New Jersey, New York, Atlanta, Beverly Hills, DC, Miami, Potomac, Dallas, and Salt Lake City over the past 15 years. Feminist icon Gloria Steinem once criticized this pop cultural phenomenon on E!, saying, "It is women, all dressed up and inflated and plastic surgeried and false bosomed with incredible amounts of money spent, not getting along with each other. Fighting with each other. It is a minstrel show for women. I don't believe it. I feel like it's manufactured, that the fights between them are manufactured and they're supposed to go after each other in a kind of conflicting way." Nonetheless, some feminists like BUST’s Poptarts podcast hosts Emily Rems and Callie Watts are intrigued by the women being relentlessly documented on these shows. And even “Bad Feminist” Roxane Gay bonded with BUST in March over the antics of the new Salt Lake City cast. On the latest Poptarts podcast, Callie and Emily discuss the series’ cultural impact with Housewives superfan Sean Anthony, and provide an introductory crash course in “Housewives 101,” for the Bravo-curious.

Contemporary historians have searched for the historical Muhammad along many paths. In Muhammad and the Empires of Faith: The Making of the Prophet of Islam (University of California Press, 2020), Sean Anthony, Professor of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at Ohio State University, recommends employing non-Muslim and Muslim sources in tandem in order to view a fuller landscape of Late Antiquity. Anthony revisits the earliest Arabic materials, including the Qur'an, epigraphic and archeological evidence, as well as contemporaneous non-Muslim sources, and accounts preserved in the sira-maghazi literature. These make up the four cardinal sources for his historical and philological method. Anthony's book both introduces a comprehensive portrait of the sources available for understanding Muhammad in his time period, as well as demonstrates how we can arrive at new insights through a “lateral” reading across the Late Antique period. In our conversation we discuss the earliest evidence mentioning Muhammad, non-Muslim testimonies, narratives of Muhammad under the Umayyads, reinvestigating Muhammad as a merchant, the role of the scholarly tradition in recording biographical accounts, the sira of Ibn Ishaq, how Abbasid imperial discourses shaped biographical narratives, literary conventions and cultural aesthetics of the late antique hagiographical writings, comparative readings across Late Antiquity, and future directions for historians.

In our conversation we discuss the earliest evidence mentioning Muhammad, non-Muslim testimonies, narratives of Muhammad under the Umayyads, reinvestigating Muhammad as a merchant, the role of the scholarly tradition in recording biographical accounts, the sira of Ibn Ishaq, how Abbasid imperial discourses shaped biographical narratives, literary conventions and cultural aesthetics of the late antique hagiographical writings, comparative readings across Late Antiquity, and future directions for historians.

When you think of someone in sales, you might imagine someone going house to house, knocking on doors trying to convince people to buy products, or maybe a car salesman. People tend to think of an unflattering image. On today's show, we learned that sales doesn't have to be a dirty word. More specifically, how selling someone on joining SigEp can be beneficial to both you and them. Whether you're a professional recruiter, you're trying to convince a friend why they should eat at the restaurant you like or asking someone to join SigEp, sales is something we all do everyday. To better understand how we can all get better at sales and better at asking people to join SigEp, we spoke with brother Sean Anthony. Sean is a graduate of Dartmouth College, who will be the first to tell you he wanted nothing to do with Fraternities as a freshman. Sean talks about how that changed and how he took what he learned recruiting and working professionally for SigEp after graduation, and turned it into a really successful career. After SigEp, he went on to work as a recruiter for the retailer Abercrombie & Fitch. And now, Sean is the advanced services recruiting leader for KForce, an award winning professional staffing agency. 

Join me as I discuss the sīra and maghāzī literature with Dr. Sean Anthony. Who were the main figures involved in collecting and compiling data about the life and times of the Prophet? How reliable are these works? How do they incorporate Biblical motifs, hagiography, etc? Were elements of his biography ever used polemically? How much did early Muslims, be they scholars or laymen, know about the life of their Prophet? What is the current status of Western scholarship on the sīra and maghāzī literature? How can scholars from different backgrounds collaborate to further the study of this literature? And more!

I have huge respect for sales people. I do! Personally, I don’t think that I am cut out to be a sales rep. The reason is that I don’t take rejection well, I take it personally, as if it’s my fault. So being told “no, thanks” 20-30 times every day is going to crush me. Needless to say, I haven’t been doing cold calls. It's time to increase my sales pipeline My leads tend to come from referrals, workshops and organic outreach through my website. It has worked well for me. But I want to increase my sales pipeline so I decided to give virtual cold calls a try.  There are many ways to do that. I decided to use LinkedIn Sales Nevigator and InMail, since many of my prospects are on LinkedIn. Find an expert to assist me I couldn’t do this alone. I knew that I needed someone to help me out. Sean Anthony found me via virtual cold call (InMail) on LinkedIn. I didn’t respond to his email right away, but I liked the content he shared. He is salesy, but not too salesy. He is the founder of GrowthResponse.io and specializes in lead generation and customer acquisition using LinkedIn. Identify Ideal Customer Profile, their pain points and challenges and my offerings First, we identified my Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). I told him my peeps are B2B enterprise marketers in the manufacturing, healthcare and financial services segments. He also drilled down on my ICP’s pain points and challenges. At the same time, I shared with him my offerings. I help B2B marketers in content marketing, sales enablement and account-based marketing. Based on my offerings and my ICP’s pain points and challenges, we worked together to rewrite my headline and profile summary on LinkedIn. We want to make that very clear so that people can easily know what I do and offer. Change my new headline, tagline, LinkedIn profile In the past, I emphasized my corporate experience, author and speakership, but it didn’t help to explain what I do for my clients. So, we changed that.  Here is my new headline: “Accelerating B2B marketers’ contribution to sales with content, sales enablement, account-based marketing using proven methodology” I emphasized the keywords of content, sales enablement and account-based marketing. I also explained that I have a process to do that. Using different words, we also created a tagline so that I can place below my signature on LinkedIn:  This is my tagline: “Helping B2B marketing teams increase sales velocity through content, sales enablement, and account-based marketing” So, you can tell, it’s something similar. That tagline is part of the InMail, people can immediately understand what I do without going to my profile. The next thing we tackled was the profile summary. I started by sharing my passion for creating alignment between sales and marketing. I followed that with the 3 main challenges that marketers encounter, then moved on to explain how I address these 3 challenges.  I moved the blurbs about authorship and speakership to the experience session, so people search for speakers on specific marketing topics can still find me. On a side note… I’ve changing my LinkedIn headline and profile at least 20 times in the past 5 years. The reason is that my expertise and experience continue to grow. Therefore, I need to constantly update my value propositions to reflect that. Plus, the secret of writing is rewriting. It’s amazing that I can constantly find better ways to explain who I am and what I do. A value proposition is not something you do and then just check off. You need to constantly evaluate what you do and what you can offer to be competitive.  Once we were done with ICP, LinkedIn headline, profile and tagline, we were ready to approach virtual cold calling. For this, we carefully crafted a sequence of 5 emails. Carefully orchestrate the sequence of email for cold calls The first email is very simple and short. Let prospects know that I am reaching out because we share some mutual connections. Something simple like this actually enticed people to accept my invitation to connect.   The 2nd email is a “Thank you for connecting” email and asks the prospects whether I can be a resource to them. It finishes by letting them know they can reach out anytime if they want to explore opportunities to work together.  The 3rd email is a Value-Add email. I created a relevant blog post for my ICP, share the link with them and ask for their feedback. The 4th email is a meeting ask. I follow-up and check if they read my content. I also ask if they are open to a phone chat. The 5th email is the final email. In it, I remind them what I do and ask them to contact me if they ever need any help in the areas of content marketing, sales enablement or account-based marketing. I also share a free chapter from my latest book, Effective Sales Enablement.  I use Sales Navigator to find prospects and reach out to a small number of prospects every day. It requires that I stay on top of it and follow through with prospects consistently. Here are some of my findings after 8 weeks of virtual outreach 35% accept my initial invitation Out of that 35%, 80% failed to respond to further emails and 19% said “no, thanks” after the 3rd or 4th Only 1% request a meeting Out of that 1%, 50% actually attend a meeting. The first 90 days are typically an experimentation period where we try to achieve a message to market match. Here is the biggest finding for me: We’ve noticed that manufacturing companies with 51-1000 employees have the best response rate, while larger enterprises, companies with 5001-10,000+ employees, have a poor response rate. That was counter-intuitive to me initially, since my experience is enterprise, therefore, I tried to align my enterprise experience with enterprise customers. But that’s not the case. Granted my experience is enterprise, but prospects that need my expertise are the companies that are growing into being a big enterprise. They are going through growing pains and have so much to do that they need strategy help… That’s really my sweet spot. As a result, our focus for the next month will be on companies with 51-1000 employees. One more thing to share…  For people who said no, some of them appreciate the useful content I share. But some people are pretty nasty, saying things like ‘I don’t appreciate you looking for work on LinkedIn.’ Well, that’s what LinkedIn is for. People are on LinkedIn to find work or jobs. That’s the way it is. But I understand their frustration of getting cold calls. I get it.  Since the purchase cycle for the prospects to engage with me is about 8-12 months, I am planning to run this outreach for several months and see how it goes. More updates to come. So, do you do any virtual cold calls? How does that go? Share with me and let’s keep learning from each other.

Crucifixion is one of the most widely envisioned symbols in history. So much so, that for a contemporary reader the notion almost immediately plants an image of Jesus on the cross. Sean Anthony, Assistant Professor of History at the University of Oregon, argues that an assumption of uniformity in the role of crucifixion hinders our understanding of it, which is especially true when looking at crucifixion as a cross-cultural category during the Late Antique period. In Crucifixion and Death as Spectacle: Umayyad Crucifixion in Its Late Antique Context (American Oriental Society, 2014), crucifixion is examined in the early Muslim context but placed within broader social and political tactics of late antiquity. Extreme death techniques, especially in the disciplining of religious deviants, were most often public spectacles of ritualized violence used to legitimize political leaders. Umayyad leadership used crucifixion as a ideological tool to reinforce their own political legitimacy. Anthony demonstrates how this all plays out in the cases of Abdallah ibn al-Zubayr and Zayd ibn ‘Ali. The study of crucifixion also enables us to examine the rich ways that Muslims remembered and accounted for their own personal histories. In our conversation we discussed the relationship between early Islam and late antique societies, crucifixion in the Zoroastrian setting, the treatment of the dead Muslim body, crucifixion in the Qur'an and Hadith, the public/private spheres of the body, deciphering historical sources, religious deviance, and the ironic fate of the conquered Ummayads.
