Sir Ernest Shackleton überlebt mit seiner Crew 635 Tage im antarktischen Eis - ohne Schiff, ohne Aussicht auf Rettung. Er bewahrt eine positive Haltung, hält die Moral hoch, inspiriert durch Vorbild und trifft kluge Entscheidungen. Eine Lektion in Krisenführung. Von Lavina Stauber

Diving into the life and leadership of what many have called the greatest leader ever, Sir Ernest Shackleton. -----"Some people say it is wrong to regard life as a game; I don't think so. Life to me means the greatest of all games. The danger lies in treating it as a trivial game, a game to be taken lightly, and a game in which the rules don't matter much. The rules matter a great deal. The game has to be played fairly, or it is no game at all. And even to win the game is not the chief end. The chief end is to win it honorably and splendidly.”- Ernest Shackelton -----SourcesEndurance Shakelton's Way-----You can check stay connected below:Greatness FilesWebsiteBook: Chasing Greatness: Timeless Stories on the Pursuit of ExcellenceApparelInstagramX

Sir Ernest Shackleton became a national icon after venturing on four epic voyages of discovery to the Antarctic a century ago, including the famous HMS Endurance expedition. But after the Endurance was trapped by pack ice—and slowly succumbed to its crushing pressure—the expedition's fate, and that of its crew, looked bleak. Hundreds of miles from inhabited territory, and far from any shipping lanes, what followed is one of the greatest stories of endurance and survival ever told. The crew wouldn't be rescued for more than a year and a half, but incredibly all 28 made it back alive. More than a century later, the wreck of the Endurance was finally located. In March 2022, a team of scientists released stunning images of the three-masted, wooden ship where it had lodged 10,000 feet deep at the bottom of the Antarctic. Our speaker is leading polar historian Michael Smith, who books have received wide critical acclaim and he is assisting with the development of a major international film about Shackleton.

In Season 2, Episode 3, Mark Graban and Jamie Flinchbaugh both share specific episodes of their other podcasts. Jamie shares his People Solve Problems episode featuring Crayola CEO Pete Ruggiero, and Mark shares a repeat guest for My Favorite Mistake with NFL Players Association Dr. Thom Mayer to talk about the experiment of new kickoff formats and the impact (pun intended) on concussions. We then share our coffees, with the caffeine-laden Red Eye being the drink of choice, including Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell's extreme coffee order.  EPISODE PAGE They then jump into lean coffee discussion format covering a wide range of topics. We discuss why Americans aren't filling the half-million manufacturing jobs already available, two new lean books on problem solving and hoshin kanri, and why it may be ok for it only to take 2 days to select Pope Leo XIV but five rounds of interviews to hire a remote worker (picking up on a popular meme).  The discussion then turns to the MIT Sloan School of Management Work / 25 online conference, beginning with a bit of a rant about a poorly run event that wraps up in lessons of how to respond to customers when you do make mistakes. Then two speaker topics were explored from the conference, including Sharon Parker's SMART model for how to prevent burnout in your employees, and then moving to Lynda Gratton's presentation on the value of mastery in your career.  The final segment of cultural shares includes two items to watch, featuring Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson in Friendship (in theaters now) and National Geographic's Endurance about Sir Ernest Shackleton's journey on Disney Plus.

Have you ever faced a challenge that seemed impossible to overcome?

The Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914–1917 is considered to be the last major expedition of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Conceived by Sir Ernest Shackleton, the expedition was an attempt to make the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent. After Roald Amundsen's South Pole expedition in 1911, this crossing remained, in Shackleton's words, the "one great main object of Antarctic journeyings". Shackleton's expedition failed to accomplish this objective but became recognised instead as an epic feat of endurance.

If you're looking for insights into how to lead other people to greatness... or lead yourself to discover your true purpose and realise your own business and life potential, you need to go no further than delve into the life, the thinking, and the explorations of Sir Ernest Shackelton and this wonderful book - Shackleton's Way. In this podcast, I give you just a taste of the inspiration and the strategies of Shackleton as researched and beautifully written by Margot Morrell and Stephanie Capparell. Here are three inspiring leadership quotes attributed to Sir Ernest Shackleton: "Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all." This embodies Shackleton's unwavering determination and resilience in the face of adversity. "A man must shape himself to a new mark directly the old one goes to ground." A reminder of the importance of adaptability and recalibration in leadership. "Superhuman effort isn't worth a damn unless it achieves results." A practical insight into focusing energy and effort on outcomes that truly matter. These quotes reflect Shackleton's exceptional ability to inspire and lead under extreme circumstances.

In this episode Marcus Aurelius Anderson delves into the theme of endurance, drawing lessons from historical and contemporary figures. He discusses the incredible resilience of Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew during the Trans Antarctic Expedition, and highlights how modern-day warriors like Juan Pablo Quiñonez and Dean Stott overcame extreme challenges through endurance. Marcus outlines two key steps to building real-world endurance: setting a huge goal with a compelling why and training harder than ever before. Episode Highlights: 03:24 Lessons from Sir Ernest Shackleton 06:52 Juan Pablo's Unconventional Strategies 09:09 Dean Stott's Record-Breaking Journey 09:51 Steps to Building Real-World Endurance Learn more about the gift of Adversity and my mission to help my fellow humans create a better world by heading to www.marcusaureliusanderson.com.

From the vastness of ice to the raw power of swells taller than buildings, Antarctica is a landscape that is deadly as it is beautiful. In recognition of the centenary of Sir Ernest Shackleton's final expedition, last year, 22 young people travelled to South Georgia, a British territory in the Antarctic region, as part of Antarctic Heritage Trusts' Inspiring Expeditions. Artists Charlie Thomas and Rose Lasham were both part of the group and their work, inspired by the trip, is currently on display at Auckland's Maritime Museum. They talk to Mihi about what it was like visiting the frozen continent.

Ever wonder what it takes to lead a mission in the coldest, most unforgiving place on Earth?  In this episode of Antarctica Did That For Me, we (your hosts, Keri Nelson and Cassa Grant) dive into the tricky terrain of leading a team in Antarctica. From the hierarchical “my way or the highway” approach of Captain Scott… to the more democratic style of Sir Ernest Shackleton, we discuss the leadership secrets that can make or break an expedition in the world's harshest environment.  We also dig into what we learned about leadership from our co-workers during our time in Antarctica, an environment that can bring out the best and the worst in folks. Whether you're planning your own Antarctic adventure, or just trying to lead yourself out of bed in the morning, this episode has something for you.  We'll show you why being relatable, flexible, and authentic are the real superpowers of any leader, especially when the going gets tough.  Plus, we'll let you in on a little secret: the most important leader you'll ever have is YOU.

Joel and I teamed up to talk about one of our favorite topics: Leadership! As some may know, Joel is currently a graduate student in the Gonzaga Master of Organizational Leadership program. He's taken a couple of classes in heartiness and resiliency and read the book Leading at the Edge by Dennis Perkins, so I gave it a read! In this episode, we discuss a couple of key leadership strategies that Shackleton exemplified, and Perkins identifies in his book through extensive research and a life dedicated to learning about leadership. Dennis Perkins has spent a major part of his life trying to understand what it really means to be a leader – particularly under conditions of adversity, ambiguity, and change. His passion to understand the art of leadership began at the United States Naval Academy. He went on to commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps and serve as a Company Commander in Vietnam. His leadership “post-graduate” education continued well past the USMC. Perkins went onto attend Harvard Business School, then later obtain his doctorate in Psychology from the University of Michigan. Perkins proceeded to join the Yale School of Management as a faculty member and is now the CEO of The Syncretics Group, a consulting firm dedicated to effective leadership in demanding environments. Joel and I picked a couple of strategies that resonated with us and how we felt they applied to the JMO leading in the military, and to leaders in business. Joel also recently climbed a Mountain in his Masters. While not in the Antarctic for 800 days, it was quite an experience. While a six-to-nine-month deployment may not equate to being stranded in the Antarctic for 800 days, it takes strong leaders to help their crew, their units, their organizations through challenging times. Quick summary of the book below. Leading at the Edge Leading at the Edge: Leadership Lessons from the Extraordinary Saga of Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition by Dennis Perkins uses the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914 expedition as a framework for exploring leadership in extreme circumstances. Perkins draws leadership principles from Shackleton's incredible ability to lead his crew through crisis and adversity. This book demonstrates how leadership lessons from the edge of survival can be applied to organizations confronting contemporary challenges such as competition; economic uncertainty; and the need for constant innovation, growth, and change. Beset and trapped in solid ice packs, the crew was engaged in a fight for survival. The “Endurance” (Shackleton's Ship) eventually was crushed by ice and sank. Through remarkable leadership, Shackleton managed to keep his men alive and motivated. He led a harrowing open-boat journey over 800 miles of treacherous seas to seek rescue, eventually saving all his men without a single loss of life. Lansing's narrative highlights the courage, resilience, and teamwork that enabled them to survive this epic ordeal. Perkins's ten key leadership strategies that Shackleton exemplified are laid out below: Ten Strategies 1. Never lose sight of the ultimate goal and focus energy on short-term objectives. 2. Set a personal example with visible, memorable symbols and behaviors. 3. Instill optimism and self-confidence but stay grounded in reality. 4. Take care of yourself: Maintain your stamina and let go of guilt. 5. Reinforce the team message constantly: “We are one – we live or die together”. 6. Minimize status differences and insist on courtesy and mutual respect. 7. Master conflict – deal with anger in small doses, engage dissidents, and avoid needless power struggles. 8. Find something to celebrate and something to laugh about. 9. Be willing to take the Big Risk. 10. Never give up – there's always another move. Hope you enjoy the episode!

If you have been following the world news this week, you will have likely seen an article or TV news segment about the expedition from which I just returned. One week ago, my team from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society located the wreck of Sir Ernest Shackleton's last vessel, Quest. After six years of preparation, a team of 14 plus 8 crew set off for the Labrador Sea with a very tight plan to locate the lost vessel. Sir Ernest Shackleton is an icon to most explorers. His leadership during the famed Endurance Expedition stands as a timeless lesson in resilience, optimism, and the power of teamwork. As his ship was trapped and eventually crushed by Antarctic ice, Shackleton faced what seemed like insurmountable odds. Yet, his steadfast optimism and unwavering commitment to his crew turned a potential tragedy into an extraordinary tale of survival.

The wreck of Sir Ernest Shackleton's final ship, the Quest, has been discovered off the coast of Labrador by an international search team.

Asked to picture a nineteenth-century ship, you might think of the HMS Victory or HMS Temeraire, symbolic of empire. Something epitomised by flag-waving and victory - Britannia rules the waves. In this edition of Free Thinking, Catherine Fletcher asks if we memorialise one aspect of our maritime past at the expense of others.Remember in Great Expectations when Magwitch escapes from a prison ship anchored by the coast? Dickens was likely inspired by the reality of the 19th century "prison hulks", decommissioned warships moored on docks to house criminals. Dr Anna McKay of the University of Liverpool can tell us more about how the hulks, supposed to be a short term solution to a crisis, ended up being used for decades. Dr Lloyd Belton of the University of Glasgow studies the Kru - fiercely independent West African sailors who formed an alliance with the Royal Navy to rid the African coast of slavers. His research follows what happened these men, who saw themselves as servants of the Empire, when they settled in Liverpool between the wars. And Dr Oliver Finnegan from the National Archive at Kew will tell us about the enorrmous historical potential of the "Prize Papers", a collection of thousands of unopened letters, legal papers and other documents from ships captured by British privateers and the Royal navy between 1652 and 1815.Presented by: Catherine Fletcher Producer in Salford: Olive ClancyBBC Radio 3's Words and Music episode about Antartica, the explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and his ship Endurance is available on BBC Sounds and you can find other episodes of Free Thinking exploring ships in history hearing from Sarah Caputo, Hew Locke and Jake Subryan Richards

In a conversation from March 2023, the maritime archeologist who found the storied wreck discusses the mission and his new book.There are few stories about heroic survival equal to Sir Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic rescue of his crew, which turned disaster into triumph. In August of 1914, 28 men set sail from England to the South Pole. Led by Shackleton himself, the group hoped to be the first to cross Antarctica by foot. However, their ship, the Endurance, became stuck in ice. It sank to the bottom of the frigid Antarctic waters, leaving most of the men stranded on a cold, desolate ice floe.Shackleton, with five of his crew, set out in a small boat to bring help from hundreds of miles away. Finally, after many months of fighting the cold, frostbite and angry seas, Shackleton was able to rescue all his men with no loss of life.Over the years, there have been many attempts to find the Endurance shipwreck. None were successful until a year ago, when the wreck was located for the first time since it sank back in 1915. Ira is joined by Mensun Bound, maritime archeologist and the director of exploration on the mission that found the Endurance. His new book, The Ship Beneath the Ice: The Discovery of Shackleton's Endurance, is out now.View more images of Shackleton's last expedition from the Library of Congress.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

To develop mental endurance takes a mindset of tenacity and perseverance. When listening to the book Endurance by Alfred Lansing, I found myself so enraptured in the story that I had to turn on the heater in my car as I was getting cold, as the book described the frigid temperatures the crew experienced as they worked their way through the ice and severe weather conditions of their journey. The expedition of the Endurance ship to Antarctica in 1915-1916 was led by the renowned explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. The primary goal of this expedition was to make the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent. However, the expedition faced unprecedented challenges when the ship became trapped in the ice of the Weddell Sea in January 1915. Despite attempts to free the vessel, the ice eventually crushed the Endurance, leaving the crew stranded on the desolate ice floes. The crew's remarkable story of survival and endurance became one of the most iconic tales of exploration. Shackleton's exceptional leadership and resilience were evident as he managed to keep the crew united and focused on survival throughout their harrowing ordeal. Despite the harsh conditions, the crew displayed unwavering determination, ingenuity, and teamwork. After months stranded on the ice, Shackleton led his men on a daring rescue mission, sailing in lifeboats to reach Elephant Island, where they had to exhibit extreme effort to merely survive. Throughout this amazing story of survival, we can draw five principles to develop endurance in our lives: resilience, teamwork, planning, mental toughness and innovation and be very thankful we don't have to use these trying to survive in the Antarctica for close to two years!

Insulin Maker Eli Lilly Finally Caps The Drug's Cost In 1923, drug manufacturer Eli Lilly became the first company to commercialize insulin. Since then, its cost has skyrocketed. But this week, the company announced that it is capping the cost of insulin at $35. This comes as a huge relief to many Americans, since insulin has become the face of pharmaceutical price gouging. Over the last 20 years, the price of insulin has grown by six times, making this essential, life-saving drug unaffordable to many who need it. Purbita Saha, deputy editor at Popular Science, joins Ira to talk about this announcement and other science news of the week. They chat about a new at-home test for COVID-19 and the flu, how the bird flu outbreak is faring, what we learned from NASA's DART mission, and why scientists are growing a mushroom computer.   It's Spacetime And Science Season At The Oscars The Academy Awards are almost upon us, airing March 12. Movie buffs may have already seen many of the nominated films. But for science geeks, there's another form of criteria for what films go on the top of their watchlist: Do these movies include science? This year, a whole bunch of Oscar nominees are driven by science as part of the plot. The Best Picture category has three: the multiverses in “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” the water-based society in “Avatar: The Way of Water,” and the gravity-defying aerial stunts in “Top Gun: Maverick.” The Documentary Feature Film category is also ripe for science analysis: “Fire of Love” follows the love story between two French volcanologists, “All That Breathes” follows brothers who run a bird hospital in Delhi, and “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” spotlights Nan Goldin's advocacy against the opioid-creating Sackler family. Ira is joined by Sonia Epstein, curator of science and technology at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, New York, to discuss these films and more—including science-oriented films that were snubbed from this years' awards.   The Lasting Allure Of Shackleton's ‘Endurance' There are few stories about heroic survival equal to Sir Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic rescue of his crew, which turned disaster into triumph. In August of 1914, 28 men set sail from England to the South Pole. Led by Shackleton himself, the group hoped to be the first to cross Antarctica by foot. However, their ship, the Endurance, became stuck in ice. It sank to the bottom of the frigid Antarctic waters, leaving most of the men stranded on a cold, desolate ice floe. Shackleton, with five of his crew, set out in a small boat to bring help from hundreds of miles away. Finally, after many months of fighting the cold, frostbite and angry seas, Shackleton was able to rescue all his men with no loss of life. Over the years, there have been many attempts to find the Endurance shipwreck. None were successful until a year ago, when the wreck was located for the first time since it sank back in 1915. Ira is joined by Mensun Bound, maritime archeologist and the director of exploration on the mission that found the Endurance. His new book, The Ship Beneath the Ice, is out now.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

In 1915, British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton's historic expedition to Antarctica stalled when floating ice trapped, crushed, and finally sank his ship, Endurance. Shackleton's men survived 21 months on the ice, alone and freezing, and became one of the most incredible adventure stories ever recorded. The ship itself, Endurance, was not seen again for 106 years. Every attempt to find it wound up thwarted by exactly the same enemy: crushing sheets of pack ice. Finally, in 2022, an international team of explorers and scientists found the wreck—and it's in absolutely pristine condition. This is the story of how they found it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this KEEN ON episode, Andrew talks to THE BENEATH THE ICE author Mensun Bound about the extraordinary story of how the Endurance, Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship, was found in the most hostile sea on earth. Born in the Falkland Islands, Mensun Bound was the Triton Fellow in Maritime Archaeology at St Peter's College, Oxford, and the director of the first academic unit for underwater archaeology in England. Known as the "Indiana Jones of the Deep", Bound has conducted wreck surveys and excavations all over the world in a career that spanned 40 years. During that time he excavated one of the oldest known shipwrecks (600 BC) and, in 1997, he used saturation diving methods to carry out the deepest shipwreck excavation there has ever been. Twelve museums around the globe hold permanent displays of artefacts raised by Bound. His work has been the focus of numerous documentaries including a 4-part series by the Discovery Channel entitled ‘Lost Ships'. In 2019 Bound stunned the world with his discovery of Admiral von Spee's flagship, Scharnhorst which had been lost in battle during World War One. That same year Bound was Director of Exploration for the fist search to find Shackleton's Endurance which ended in disaster when their Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) imploded from pressure and their principal search vehicle, a Hugin-class Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) disappeared without trace. In 2022 the search resumed under the auspices of the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust with Bound in the same role. On 5 March the Endurance was found and, as predicted by Bound, it was upright, largely intact, proud of the seabed and in an excellent state of preservation . Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The High Seas make up most of our oceans but belong to no-one and are largely unregulated, leaving them at risk of plunder. UN talks start afresh this week with the aim of protecting the marine biodiversity of these vast swathes of living ocean. Covid-19 can shrink our brains and lead to cognitive decline, even in mild cases, according to a new study out this week. Professor Gwenaëlle Douaud, who led the research, explains how they used hundreds of brain scans to discover the effects of Covid infection. A completely different discovery this week was made at the bottom of the sea; we hear how, after 107 years, scientists have finally found The Endurance, the lost shipwreck of Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. How might the Russian invasion of Ukraine affect international space exploration? After a Twitter spat between a former NASA astronaut and the Russian space chief, we're joined by BBC science correspondent Jonathan Amos and BBC Russian's Nikolay Voronin to discuss how science in Russia and the rest of the world may be impacted by the current conflict. And finally, the stunning discovery of a 330 million-year-old vampyropod fossil, the earliest known relative of modern-day octopuses and vampire squids, gives us an opportunity to imagine the world it inhabited, a third of a billion years ago.

Brandon's on vacation ... a cruise, actually! Which some people might consider work, but after a few dozen piña of coladas, he's feeling philosophical... ... And that's right when Stephen tracks him down to talk about, what else?, shipwrecks, because they're topical and because Stephen isn't reading the room. Still, it was interesting to talk about the Felicity Ace, that Portuguese ship carrying luxury cars that caught fire and had to be abandoned. Particularly, the viral rumor that all those Porsches and Bentleys were now up for grabs because something something law of the sea, which is not at all true. (That's what you get for spreading maritime lore from a Twitter feed specializing in old station wagons and Chuck Norris thirst pics.) The bigger — and more profound — shipwreck news is that explorers found Sir Ernest Shackleton's long-lost ship, the Endurance, which was right where he'd left it, at the bottom of the sea in Antarctica. Thus ends a chapter of human exploration with one more sea story... Speaking of sea stories, Brandon can't get back to his important frozen cocktail work without regaling Stephen about his own Antarctic adventures, and some chit-chat about the Antarctic Treaty and whether we can learn anything from it so as to better share this planet with our fellow humans. Pull up a drink and mix yourself a chair, we're ahoying!

Kathleen opens the show drinking a Michelob Light from Anheuser Busch. She talks about her recent sold-out show in St. Louis and all the family fun that was had around it, including nights out with her cousins and the massive party with family and friends after the show. Kathleen then gives her review of the new Gateway Arch National Park, reminiscing about how terrifying it used to be to go up in the Arch on school field trips as a kid. “GOOD BAD FOOD”: In her quest for new and delicious not-so-nutritious junk food AND in continuing her search for the best Ranch, Kathleen samples Eggo Frosted Maple-flavored Pop-Tarts, which she loves and thinks that they taste JUST like waffles. She moves on to taste Heinz Creamy Real Mayonnaise, which she rates an “A-“ because it's creamy and not tangy, and finishes off with Tucker's Lemon Pepper salad dressing, which is an iconic favorite in St. Louis.QUEEN'S COURT: Kathleen is amused while reporting that Queen Stevie Nicks has written an open letter to Vladimir Putin regarding the invasion of Ukraine, which Kathleen reads aloud. She's also thrilled to announce that Queen Dolly Parton is expanding her Imagination Library to Washington State.UPDATES: Kathleen gives updates on a Banksy art exhibit that is coming to the US, the Tinder Swindler is sued by the Levive family, and another “famous” Capitol rioter receives his sentencing. “HOLY SHIT THEY FOUND IT”: Kathleen is amazed to read about the discovery of Sir Ernest Shackleton's Endurance on the bottom of the Weddell Sea almost 107 years after it sank. She's also excited to read that the mystery of the purpose behind Stonehenge has finally been solved after research confirmed that the monument served as an ancient solar calendar. PAT ROBERTSON PREDICTS THE END OF THE WORLD: Kathleen has always been amused by The 700 Club's host Pat Robertson and laughs when reading an article announcing that Robertson believes that Vladimir Putin was “compelled by God” to invade Ukraine and that the Russian leader is fulfilling an apocalyptic prophecy that will end with him assuming control of Israel. Night night, Papa Pat…BASQUIAT PAINTING SELLING FOR $70M: Kathleen LOVES reading about the world of fine art and is excited to read that a Basquiat painting is about to be auctioned. Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa is setting the price for his rare “Untitled” at $70 million, which he purchased at a Christie's auction in 2016. TRACKING RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS: Kathleen laughs out loud reading an article about University of Florida freshman Jack Sweeney, who has been successfully tracking Elon Musk's private plane and has moved his focus to track Russian Oligarch yachts and private jets as Putin wages war on Ukraine. Sweeney has established a new Twitter account called @RUOligarchjets which tracks the movement of the Oligarchs and is working to be able to track Putin's jet if the Russian president leaves his home country. GIRL SCOUT COOKIE CONSPIRACY THEORIES: Kathleen is amazed when reading an article about the climate of the current “Cookie Season” where adult troop leaders are sharing stories of scout cookie-seller harassment. Girls ages 5-13 are being forced to bear the brunt of angry tirades from adults who want to lecture them about healthy eating, moan about price hikes in the seasonal product, or rant about the group's rumored (and false) link to Planned Parenthood. Kathleen and Paddles both love the latest cookie release: “Adventurfuls,” and although they're difficult to find, both agree that they pair well with Jameson ☺WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK: Kathleen recommends watching “Babushkas of Chernobyl” on Amazon PrimeSEE KATHLEEN LIVE: See Kathleen live on her “Do You Have Any Ranch?” Tour.
