Alex interviews Jeff Mason, Super-Legit Car Guy as well as President and COO of The Piston Foundation, whose mission is to fund skilled trades programs to help a new generation of craftspeople build rewarding careers in the collector car industry. They start with a primer on what Piston does before moving into the strong interest in cars displayed by today's youth; how modern job readiness and technical education have evolved; the influence of the "Maker Movement"; professional skills vs. trades, and the latter as a jumping off point for both technical and non-technical careers in the collector car industry; the intersection between artistic expression and mechanical inclination; the confidence boost and satisfaction of learning to do something real; and the joy of working with purely objective quality standards. They turn to Jeff's own automotive experiences, such as piggybacking off of someone else's midlife crisis, to great effect: racing with his brother in the Carrera Panamericana, the Mille Miglia, and other famous rallies to come. The pair close by detailing the direct, meaningful downstream effects of donations to the Piston Foundation and how collectors can help change the community's workforce from "graying to growing."  Follow along!

This week on Givers, Doers, & Thinkers, Jeremy sits down with Matthew Crawford about the rise of the Humanitarian Party and what it means for civil society and self-governance.Matthew Crawford is the author of Why We Drive: Toward a Philosophy of the Open Road, The World Beyond Your Head: On Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction, and the New York Times best seller Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work. He has also written several highly penetrating essays and articles, including "The Workings of the Party-State," published last year in American Affairs.Is sovereignty slipping away from traditional government structures? Matthew shares how power has shifted to a coalition of corporations, foundations, media, universities, and NGOs. Jeremy and Matthew dissect the implications of this shift, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, where expert authority often bypassed democratic channels, steering public opinion and political power like never before. They also discuss the victimhood mentality and how figures like Trump have redefined victimhood, and the unsettling role of technology, such as driverless cars, is perpetuating these dynamics. We'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, questions, and recommendations for the podcast!

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig. It's a peculiar book, especially for a bestseller. Not a lot of it is actually about zen or motorcycle maintenance, it combines a travelogue, a father/son story, and philosophical musings, and the structure of its narration makes it hard to follow. Thus, it's the kind of book people often buy, start, and then put down without finishing.That's initially what happened to Mark Richardson, an author and automotive journalist who was born in the UK but has lived most of his life in Canada. But when the book finally clicked for Mark, he was so inspired by it that he actually undertook Pirsig's motorcycle pilgrimage himself. Mark shares that story in Zen and Now, which intersperses stories from his own road trip with an exploration of Pirsig's life and famous book.If you've wanted to read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, but haven't been able to get into it, today Mark will offer an introduction to what it's all about. We discuss Pirsig's ideas on the metaphysics of quality and our relationship to technology, and how he tried to combine the ethos of Eastern and Western thought into a unified philosophy of living. We also get into why Mark wanted to recreate Pirsig's road trip, the joys of traveling by motorcycle, and what Mark learned along the way.Resources Related to the PodcastZen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values by Robert M.

We don't often think of work when we think of Henry David Thoreau. We think of Thoreau living with his family, or loafing around at a cabin at Walden, and mostly spending his days walking and enjoying nature. We know he did some writing, sure, but often think of him as being largely the abstract thinker type.But Thoreau was a man of much practical skill, who lived a life of both thought and action. He did lots of kinds of work — from carpentry to surveying to helping raise Ralph Waldo Emerson's kids — and thought a lot about the nature of work, both the paid variety and the kind that's necessary for simply sustaining day-to-day life. Today on the show, John Kaag, a professor of philosophy and the co-author of Henry at Work: Thoreau on Making a Living, shares some of Thoreau's insights on work with us. We discuss what Thoreau can teach us about the value of resignation, the importance of continuing to work with your hands to maintain what Thoreau called your "vital heat," what makes for meaningful work, and the trap of working in bad faith. We end our conversation with a call to consider what you're really being paid for in your job and the true cost of the things you buy.Resources Related to the PodcastJohn's previous appearances on the AoM podcast:AoM Podcast #480: Hiking With NietzscheAoM Podcast #576: A Treasure Trove of American PhilosophyWalden by Henry David ThoreauEmerson's eulogy for ThoreauAoM Article: How to REALLY Avoid Living a Life of Quiet DesperationSunday Firesides: The Cost of a ThingShop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work by Matthew B.

As the Wuhan Plague has exposed many jobs as substantively valueless, Matthew Crawford's classic work on work, manual labor, and craft has assumed more relevance.  (The written version of this review was first published April 17, 2018. Written versions, in web and PDF formats, are available here.)

Dr. Roy Smythe likens our current healthcare system to medieval warfare. We address only the most acutely ill individuals, the flaming objects flying over the castle walls, rather than finding a way to stave off the endless supply of catapults. But what if we had a better method for assessing health and predicting disease? With innovations in AI and machine learning, his team is leveraging proteomics to develop breakthrough technologies in diagnostic testing with the potential to avoid the endless attacks.Dr. Smythe is the CEO of SomaLogic, the healthcare information company leveraging proteomics to develop breakthrough clinical diagnostic products that will transform healthcare. Trained as a thoracic surgeon and physician-scientist, he spent two decades practicing medicine before transitioning to the corporate side of healthcare in 2013. Dr. Smythe has served as Chief Medical Officer at both Valence Health and AVIA, a healthcare technology accelerator out of Chicago.On this episode of HLTH Matters, Dr. Smythe joins Dr. Shlain to explain what inspired his shift from practicing medicine to the corporate side of healthcare. He discusses his work helping health providers discern from among emerging technologies at AVIA, sharing the lessons he learned there around the many impediments to adoption. Listen in to understand how SomaLogic is using proteomics to predict health, wellness and disease and learn how the SomaScan Platform is a game-changer in terms of risk assessment and preventative care. Topics CoveredWhat inspired Dr. Smythe’s shift to the corporate side of healthcareAVIA’s work in helping providers discern among new techDr. Smythe’s medieval warfare metaphor for the healthcare systemWhy we’re only addressing the top of the ‘triangle of disease’The lessons Dr. Smythe learned from his experience with AVIAThe distinction between human genomics and proteomicsHow the SomaScan Platform uses AI to measure 5K proteinsSomaLogic’s ability to predict health, wellness and diseaseSomaScan’s benefits in terms of convenience + affordabilityHow SomaScan might impact the medically developing worldHow Dr. Smythe’s mom’s cancer informs his career in healthcare Connect with Dr. Roy SmytheSomaLogicDr. Smythe on LinkedIn Connect with Dr. ShlainHLTH ConferenceDr. Shlain on LinkedInDr. Shlain on Twitter  ResourcesAVIASapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah HarariShop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work by Matthew B.

Thank you for your interest in the Nashville L'Abri Conference Podcast. Each episode features the audio from one of the lectures or workshops. A new episode will be released each Monday morning. You can subscribe and listen using any podcasting app or listen online. This week's episode features audio from a workshop with Nickaela Fiore-Keyes, Sarah Chestnut and Robb Ludwick entitled, "What if you Want to Come to L’Abri?" A number of the participants in the Nashville conference shared an interest in visiting one of the L'Abri branches. Many of the branches are currently making preparations for those who will visit this autumn.   The workshop began with a short description of what it would be like to come to a branch of L’Abri as a student, but most of the time was used for discussing questions from those in attendance. Audio:  Omny  ITunes and Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Videos:  Ben on a day at L’Abri Sarah on a week at L’Abri Anna on a term at L’Abri Resources mentioned:  Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work by Matthew B. Crawford  Other Resources:  Interesting article about L'Abri by Mary McCampbell  Interesting video about L'Abri with Joshua and Sarah Chestnut  Nickaela is the co-director of L’Abri Fellowship in Southborough. She first came to L’Abri in 2003 from California, after graduating from Azusa Pacific University.  From 2005-2007, Nickaela and her husband Ben attended Regent College in Vancouver, Canada, where she studied Theology and Culture.  In 2007, while pregnant with twin girls, she and Ben returned to work at L’Abri in Southborough. She enjoys reading, being at the ocean, quiet mornings and comfy pants. On any given evening, Nickaela can be found working on her letterpress in her basement or making jewelry. She has three children: twin girls and a son who all attend the Imago School and are a constant source of joy, goodness, perplexity, and wonder. Sarah grew up in a small, rural community in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, outside Yosemite National Park.  Her parents own a small furniture manufacturing business and she has fond childhood memories of days spent at the workshop making sawdust and woodchip pizzas with her younger sister.  After college, Sarah taught English in the Czech Republic for two years, then went to Regent College in Vancouver, BC for her Master’s in Christianity and the Arts, where she met Joshua.  The Chestnuts have been at Southborough L’Abri since 2013.  They have two children, Jacob and Lily.   Sarah loves writing poetry, gardening, and making sourdough bread.  She also loves the stone walls of New England, the walking trails near L’Abri, and Indian food.  Autumn used to be her favorite season, but after five winters in Southborough, now it’s Spring.  Sarah makes pizza for family pizza night every week—not with sawdust and woodchips. Robb lives and works at L’Abri Fellowship in the Netherlands with his wife and four children. Alongside rendering hospitality and mentoring L’Abri guests, Robb teaches and writes regularly on cultural apologetics and personal spirituality. He holds degrees in literature, pastoral theology and philosophical anthropology. Nickaela and Sarah live and work at the Southborough branch of L'Abri.

What if our distractions are robbing us of our individuality? Philosopher-machinist Michael B. Crawford noticed just how much attention we give up -- often against our will -- to all the distractions strategically placed in front of us, from commercials on ATM screens to blaring airport televisions. He has written a guidebook to identifying the sources of lost attention, and he makes suggestions for how to get it back. Matthew is a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia. He is also a fabricator of components for custom motorcycles. His first book, Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work, prompted a rethinking of education and labor policies in the U.S. and Europe, leading the London Sunday Times to call him “one of the most influential thinkers of our time.” His latest book, The World Beyond Your Head: On Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction gets at the heart of what it means to be human. In this conversation, we talk about: Silence as a resource as important as air, food, and water The high price we are increasingly forced to pay to avoid distractions All the ways distractive tech makes us more alike The connection between deep work and independent thinking The overlooked intellectual side of hard labor How personalizing experiences can make them unreal How reclaiming the real requires submitting to something or someone else Why doing and taking action results in knowing The Maker Movement as an attempt to reconnect with what makes us human How machine-based design can lead to addiction, compulsion, and loss of control The fact that most schooling is disconnected from real-world learning Why trust lies at the heart of deep learning How traditions of learning offer opportunities for deep connections Selected Links to Topics Mentioned Matthew B.
