Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Jeff: I will say something maybe a little bit contrarian, which is that I actually think that the nuts and bolts of stuff is what matters.Jeffrey Robbins, a partner at Saul Ewing and syndicated columnist, was part of the guest impact creators delegation visiting Israel last month. We both concluded that the best part of the trip was the diverse composition of the delegation itself. I invited each member of the 8-person delegation to be a guest on the show.AI Summary of the Podcast* Jeff Robbins is a lawyer and syndicated columnist who twice served as the United States delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Commission.* He admires Hillary Clinton's influence on human rights issues and challenges Trumpism in his writing.* He feels an obligation to write against Trumpism and states his appalled sentiment toward it.* Robbins has written for conservative newspapers like The Boston Herald.* Robbins believes in paying attention to detail and reading documents carefully, with no shortcuts or substitutes.* Robbins catches important evidence during litigation by paying attention to small details.* He encourages younger lawyers to embrace the “drudgery” of thinking about everything and taking responsibility for their cases.Earlier in his career, Jeff worked as a staffer in the U.S. Senate. That led to his developing a powerful network that yielded appointments from President Clinton for two years to serve as a delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Commission.Jeff shared the story of his experience as a delegate:The United Nations, the United States has a tradition of appointing four so-called public delegates from outside the Foreign Service, from outside the State Department, to attend the Human Rights Commission. The idea, I think, originated with Eleanor Roosevelt when the UN was founded. The idea was that there should be some expression of the American public at the council. So the White House appoints four or five people a year to go. I have to say it was moving. I mean, on one level, of course, the UN is full of bloviation and nonsense and almost Monty Python-like silliness in terms of the rhetoric and the meaningless folderol. There is all that. But there's also a tremendous amount of idealism. The council every year is attended by hundreds of activists and refugees and victims and advocates for victims. And as a delegate for the United States, the United States being the 800-pound gorilla, there is actually opportunity to speak out on their behalf and to lend support to their various causes. These are stories, some of them too long to tell today. But there were numerous times in those two six-week stints when I thought, “My God, how wonderful to represent the United States. With everything that we've got going that's problematic, what a wonderful thing. The United States is at its best as an advocate for people, for those whose human rights are not being respected.So, I came away with it all, very much moved by the opportunity to speak at the UN on behalf of the United States and, probably more substantively, to kind of advocate a bit for various human rights organizations and individuals around the world.Today, Jeff writes a syndicated column that originates in the conservative paper, the Boston Herald. He writes as the liberal contrarian speaking to conservatives who don't often agree with him.He shared his motivation with me:I'm so appalled by Donald Trump. I'm so appalled by Trumpism. I'm so appalled by all of the viciousness and the brutality and the swagger and the corruption and the anti-democratic instincts, to be quite blunt about it—my view of the last five years of that movement. Even though I know that there will be people, lots of people, in fact, most of the Herald's readers, who will be enraged by that, I feel an obligation to go right at that. So I think in some perverse way—perhaps I shouldn't admit this—I actually like going right at that stuff in a newspaper where I know the readers will just detest me and cast aspersions on my mother.In Jeff's career, he has developed a superpower: focusing on the small stuff. This has enabled him to be successful as a human rights delegate, a Senate staffer, a columnist and especially as a lawyer.How to Develop a Focus on the Small Stuff As a SuperpowerJeff explained the power of sweating the small stuff:You are somebody who has achieved an enormous amount by paying attention to detail, by sweating the small stuff. I know that it's popular to say, don't sweat the small stuff unless you're a genius. I am very, very far from that. There's nothing to be done but to sweat the small stuff. I sometimes think that there's a direct line between neurosis and excellence. Neurosis is no guarantee of excellence. God knows, as I think I demonstrate, on an hourly basis. But on the other hand, unless you're a genius, excellence comes does not come without the neurosis, without the blocking and the tackling and the reading of things and the paying attention to details. So I actually think that the boring stuff is what matters most. If you skip the quote-unquote, boring stuff, the chances of succeeding at whatever it is you're trying to do are much slimmer in the practice of law. For example, in a big firm where the cases are big, and there are a lot of documents, I always had to laugh because people would talk about, “Well, document review, let's just give the document review to some junior people or some paralegals just let them do it.”I'm like, “I don't know what you're talking about, man. It's the documents that are the evidence. The evidence is going to be in some footnote someplace. If you don't look at the damn documents, including the footnotes, you're not going to get the evidence. And you don't get the evidence. You don't win the case.” That, to me, is an example of how there are not, in my experience, any shortcuts. Unfortunately, it's the slog that makes the difference, if you see what I mean.Jeff shared a specific example of attention to detail helping him win a case:It happened to me, quite frankly. Last week, while I was examining a witness and I looked down at a document that I had worked on, and I saw for the first time there was an entry on a legal bill, which was a piece of evidence that showed something important. My split-second reaction was, “Goodness, this probably isn't the best time to have noticed this, but no one has noticed this before. And here we are, standing in court, and I've noticed it.” That happens to lawyers, I think, way more than they like to say. But the bottom line on all of it is, if you don't spend the time as a litigator looking at the evidence, scouring it, turning it around, reading it at different times during the course of a case, because, of course, things occur to you differently as a case progresses, you're going to miss that stuff. There's no shortcut for that. There's no way around that. There's no clever Perry Mason skill that can substitute anything or even close to substitute for sticking your face down in the paper and reading the damn stuff.When I asked for advice for developing the skill, Jeff responded, “there are some people who, for one reason or another, find that drudgery. Again, I don't know any alternative to embracing the drudgery.”If you follow Jeff's example and take his advice to “embrace the drudgery,” you can make it a superpower that enables you to do more good.

Episode 54 of The Far Middle is dedicated to “The Manster” – Cowboys’ defensive great Randy White. Much like Randy White being a foundational anchor of the Dallas Cowboys’ defense, so too is domestic energy in our society today. This Far Middle installment is a deep dive into the convergence of energy in Appalachia, economics, geopolitics and quality of life. “These are big themes, coming together into an epic confluence,” says Nick. “We get these right, we’re all going to win. We get them wrong, we’re all going to suffer.” Nick explains these issues were the catalyst to his writing Precipice (available here). He goes on to discuss natural gas supply and demand; the impact of global/national/regional/local energy policies fueling energy scarcity; and, concludes with a unique look at the intersection of tax policy and this week in music history.

We should all expect that there is a certain amount of risk in life? Sure! Every time we step out the door, we run the risk of harm. When we participate in a sport, we have to weigh the risk of injury. When investing in the stock market, risk is assessed to determine possible higher returns on the investment.How much risk are you assuming in your SPIRITUAL life? Are you risking alienation from others to live a more spiritual life? Tom and John examine how massive rewards can be reaped when we are willing to assume the risk of living a spiritual, bold life!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Quitting is a final decision that has one outcome: Nothing. Nothing changes, people don't grow, stagnation sets in and whatever ambition you had at the beginning of your task, by quitting ambition is lost to apathy and what could have been never becomes.By quitting you don't allow yourself the opportunity to grow, develop, become a better person and live with a positive attitude when future challenges arrive.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are in an age of instant gratification. Whatever we want from food to entertainment, gratification is at hand with the push of a button.But what happens when forces beyond our control prevent us from instant gratification?Tom and John look at the virtue of patience and why it is an essential discipline we should all strive to cultivate.

Finding purpose in our lives is something that we all ponder at some point in our lives. Why are we here? What is our place in the world? What are we here to do in the world?Some people find their purpose in the pursuit of worldly goods, positions, jobs, or causes, but is there a higher purpose than these? Tom and John look at meaningful purpose in one's life, identifying it, fighting for it and implementing it in their lives successfully.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Integrity" as often defined as "what someone does when nobody is looking".Tom and John discuss integrity, its importance to the individual, the need for more of it in society, and why we need to call ourselves to live a life with the highest levels of personal integrity possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

During this time of year, gift giving is on our minds. Typically it means giving something to others like a toy or electronic device. But true giving comes from within and lasts throughout the year.

Why is it that the simplest concepts are often the overlooked ones? Gusto does not always get you what you want. Go after your goals with consistency and determination. The small stuff matters. Clean-up after the holidays can be exhausting. How can something that brings so much joy leave you with so much work to follow? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Life can be the same. You enjoy celebrating the wins, but the stuff in between is more work than sometimes worth enduring. Yet, you still have the yearning in your gut and your heart. But let's be real! You don't always want to put in the work when you are exhausted and challenged. It would be much easier to chill out and take a stand for what's easy. However, the urge to live out your heart's desire still flutters in your every day. If you are wanting to get to somewhere different than where you are, the small stuff matters. So know your position. The K.I.S.S. ~ Know your position! When you are playing football, everyone has a position. In order to get the ball where they want to go, there are steps that have to be taken. And within each of these steps, each person plays a role. Otherwise, the ball is dropped or given up to the opponent, or worse the teammates are literally tripping all over each other. Just as football is played, you must be willing to play the game of life in the same manner. Know your position and go far. Where are you now? Where do you want to go? How are you going to get there? What is one step to get you closer? When do you start? Think of this as preparation for the new year. Begin wrapping your mind around what you want so you can begin this chapter in your life. Keep in mind that you are going to want to quit. You'll get tired and what you thought was important at the time, you will find an excuse to prove otherwise. Remember, the small stuff matters. Build with consistency and determination. Your heart and gut will appreciate your diligence. "Be present. Be incredible.

Today we're talking about gender and transgender ideology, why it's wrong-headed and unscientific, and how powerful entities like Big Tech don't seem to care about biological truth when it comes to whom they ban from their platforms. Last week the Allie Beth Stuckey Twitter account was suspended for half a day, supposedly for violating Twitter's rules on promoting violence. Except there were absolutely no calls to violence whatsoever in the tweet in question. The tweet simply stated a fact: Laurel Hubbard (the trans Olympic athlete) is a man, and he should not be allowed to compete with women. Twitter decided that was somehow unacceptable, while at the same time doing nothing to combat misinformation from the Left or CCP state propaganda. As we will demonstrate, the idea that men can become women whenever they want isn't up for debate. It's scientifically impossible. And it's bad news for all of us when speaking the truth is a banning offense. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs help your kids master new, hands-on skills while expressing their creativity.

This culminated in the establishment of the UCL Institute of Making, where he is a director and runs the research programme.He’s the author of two highly successful – and, I think importantly, incredibly accessible – books on materials, Stuff Matters and Liquid and regularly presents TV and radio programmes about material science on the BBC. Most recently, however, he’s co-chaired a working group that has just delivered a fascinating, and far reaching, report for the Royal Society, entitled Animate Materials, which is the focus of much of our chat. In the episode we talk about: how new ‘active, adaptive and autonomous’ materials will change our lives; concrete that heals itself using bacteria; why we’ll grow our cities in years to come; the potential for new materials in healthcare and the nanoparticles that could help cure cancer; the economic and social impacts of this new technology; the importance of scientists collaborating with designers, architects and artists; and how animate materials could drive a new evolutionary tree.  It’s frequently eye-popping stuff. I hope you enjoy.You can download Animate Materials hereAnd you can sign up to my newsletter hereSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/materialmatters?fan_landing=true)

In daily life, we are surrounded by materials. They make up in our clothes, our food, our homes, and our transport systems. But, have you ever wondered how these materials are created? What are their secrets? How do they affect our lives? This book will reveal the mysteries of ten materials that have changed the world and the stories behind them. It will provide new insight into the world we live in.

Luke 21:1-4

People matter thus truth matters and thus stuff matters.

Message during daily Mass, Feast of the Assumption of Mary.

In this pilot episode, we dive into my start in manifestation and how I figured out how to drop my own boxes (a.k.a. expectations that I thought others had for me) in order to pursue a life completely in alignment with those little whispers that ultimately led to a life I couldn’t have imagined.How I learned to trust that life is really working out in my best interest and by clinging so tightly to my “to accomplish” list, I was shutting the door in the face of even bigger success. Finally, we dive into what it looks like to “live selfishly” and why it’s not actually as terrible as we’ve been taught it is. Spoiler alert, it looks a lot like putting on your own oxygen mask before you help someone else with theirs.After you're all done here, come join in on Instagram!http://instagram.com/taelorbaldwin

On today’s episode, we’re taking a look at a twitter thread from one of our favorite psychologists, Hillary McBride. She talked about the power of comparative suffering, and how we can learn more about our own pain, and our ability (or inability) to cultivate empathy, by ranking our pain. She normalizes this as part of being human. What a load off during Quarantine! Gratitude grows when we realize what we do have, in comparison to others. And compassion increases when we find ways to act, to give, to receive from others. We need to continue to realize our own needs, share them with people we love and trust, and do our best not to let envy or resentment grow, but instead let gratitude and compassion be our portion. We’re rooting for you dear Why Tho listeners! You’re the best part of our week!We love you dear listener - blessing you daily as we endure this pandemic together! Want more content?

Episode Notes Hello and welcome to the inaugural episode of the Materialism Podcast: an exploration of the past, present, and future of materials science and engineering. This episode deals with the most ubiquitous and important engineering material of all time: steel. The story of steel is fascinating and ties into the history of the Industrial Revolution, the birth of capitalism, and so much more. It would be hard to think of another material that did more to change society.If you enjoyed the information we covered in today’s podcast and want to learn even more because we really just scratched the surface please check out our show notes or maybe take a look at some of the reference materials we used such as the book “Stuff Matters” by Mark Miodownik or “The Substance of Civilization” by Stephen L.

  Social media has opened incredible doors for companies and individuals to share ideas, thoughts and learn (for free) almost anything in the world. Unfortunately, as the fight for attention heats up this leads to unrealistic representations of training and we see more and more exciting flashy “sand” type training and less of the foundational big rocks. In this episode, we try to balance the equation by giving a voice to the hidden vital parts of great training.   Resources: The big rocks concept is a key one not only in training but in everyday life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5ZvL4as2y0   This video of ours has some great tips for improving thoracic posture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cw0X0NAwUw&t=7s   Our episode on all things training surfaces: http://www.coreadvantage.com.au/blog/2017/podcasts-best-running-surface   And some other social media favourites that are really just decorations on your workout: Agility ladders: http://www.coreadvantage.com.au/blog/2017/podcast-agility-speed-ladder   Box jumps: http://www.coreadvantage.com.au/blog/2017/podcast-box-jumps   Nick Winkelman and the 3 P's http://www.proformance.pro/athletic-development/movement-weapon/   Brett Bartholomew: Strength Coach's great plyo video https://www.facebook.com/coachbrettb/videos/350452525360603/

Rather I would like to have memories that adds value to my life than possessions.

The guys take some time to tackle important issues in the #blacklivesmatter movement by digging into some remarkable stats. Plus, they call out Louisiana and try not to jinx Vermont. You're Welcome America.

Shayne and Ed are joined by Dr. George Aranda, curator of the Science Book A Day blog and co-host of the Big Ideas Book Club in Melbourne. George is running a Pozible crowdfunding campaign to investigate the use of 3D Printers in school education.Scientists from University of Bern in Switzerland have developed a new approach to the treatment of severe bacterial infections without the use of antibiotics.The prestigious Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books has been awarded to Mark Miodownik, author of Stuff Matters. The book is an enthralling account of Mark's love of material science, and the extraordinary properties of the materials in our everyday lives.Cornell University's Ruth Ley and her colleagues have identified one bacterial taxon, the family Christensenellaceae, as the most highly heritable group of microbes in the human gut.And for the first time ever, humans have landed a probe on a comet moving at 50,000kph.

Let's talk about doing small things consistently in the practice to support ourselves and our pact for more joy (from last week's show).  When we do a little every day, over time we make significant change.  We can shift our mind to promote a regular practice because it can be whatever we make up!

From concrete to chocolate and teacups to tennis racquets, it's the everyday stuff of life that fascinates Mark Miodownik. He's Professor of Materials and Society at University College London where he is also Director of the Institute of Making, a research hub for scientists, designers, engineers, artists, architects - and musicians. A passionate communicator about the vital role of science in society, he's written a bestselling book Stuff Matters; he's the scientist in residence on Dara O'Briain's Science Club on BBC2; and he's listed by The Times as one of the 100 most influential scientists in the UK. Mark is fascinated by how materials influence the way music sounds, and talks to Michael Berkeley about brass bands, tuning forks and how love can bloom over playing the saw. His musical choices include Bach, film music by Morricone, Scott Joplin and a little known piece for brass band by Holst.

Dr. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed is a bestselling author, investigative journalist, international security scholar, policy expert, film-maker, strategy & communications consultant, and change activist.

Lunch Hour Lectures - Spring 2013 Prof Mark Miodownik, Professor of Materials & Society, UCL Dept of Mechanical Engineering Whatever people think about the rapid pace of change of technology, our most fundamental categorization of stuff on the planet has not altered: there are living things and there is non-living stuff. As a result of our greater understanding of matter, this distinction is now becoming blurred and is likely to usher in a new materials age. Bionic people with synthetic organs, bones and even brains will be the norm. Just as we are becoming more synthetic, so our man-made environment is changing to become more lifelike: living buildings, and objects that heal-themselves are on the horizon. This lecture reviews the changes to the material world that are coming our way.
