In our never-ending Beatles Quest to share Beatle-y stuff you've never heard, we bet you'll hear a thing or two for the first time on Beatles Hour # 75...

"Apple Scruffs" is George Harrison's love-letter-in-a-song to those fans who would wait outside the Apple Corps Building (as well as other locations), hoping to catch a glimpse of one or all of The Beatles coming and going. "Apple Scruffs" appeared on George's 1970 ALL THINGS MUST PASS album. Come with us into the recording studio as George goes through take after take, working out the kinks of what was to become "Apple Scruffs." The real treasure is listening to what George says between the takes. An extremely intimate session with the magnificent George. Enjoy!

Steve Ludwig, of PlanetLudwig.com, combines The Moody Blues' song, "Isn't Life Strange" (from their 1972 album, SEVENTH SOJOURN) with Tom Waits's recitation of Charles Bukowski's "The Laughing Heart." Waits is heard at around the 4-minute mark...

John Lennon Covers The Ronette's "Be My Baby." John's studio version of "be My Baby" was done so with very slow, almost dirge-like, vocals. Steve Ludwig has sped-up the vocals by 47%, making the vocals sound more like the speed at which Ronnie Spector sang it. See what you think...Music sacrilege?

The S Curve of Learning is about personal development — our skills, mastery, and career aspirations. But applying it to teams unlocks a whole new way to run a business. After all, the individual is the fundamental unit of any company. In her latest article for the Harvard Business Review titled "Manage Your Organization as a Portfolio of Learning Curves," Whitney expounds on why it's not enough to track your team's performance and goals. Knowing where each individual is on their personal S Curve has huge ramifications for talent development, team configuration, and the long-term health of your business (long after your current team has moved on). Some of this advice may seem counter-intuitive. Having a dream team at 100% mastery sounds like a win ... until they all get bored and leave. And hiring a person who is underqualified for a role sounds like a recipe for disaster ... unless you're thinking about the big picture. Disruption Advisors coach and veteran broadcaster Steve Ludwig joins this episode as a guest host to interview Whitney about the HBR article and how it connects to her new book Smart Growth, which is available for pre-order now. Read the full article: https://hbr.org/2022/01/manage-your-organization-as-a-portfolio-of-learning-curves Pre-order Smart Growth: https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Growth-Grow-People-Company-ebook/dp/B08TCJZ7ST
