We want leaders to do the right thing when tested, and we want and believe we will rise to the challenge when the moment presents itself. But the current way we learn how to act ethically in those critical moments doesn't always translate or cause us to think we can do it effectively and confidently. Why not? How can we better prepare ourselves and our leaders when the moment arises? This is that episode. Giving Voice to Values (GVV) is an innovative approach to values-driven leadership development in business education and the workplace. Drawing on actual experience and scholarship, GVV fills a long-standing critical gap in the development of values-centered leaders. It's not about persuading people to be more ethical. Rather GVV starts from the premise that most of us already want to act on our values, but that we also want to feel that we have a reasonable chance of doing so effectively and successfully. In this episode we'll explore how to raise those odds.***ABOUT OUR GUEST:Mary C.

Un ragazzo dall'aria gentile e innocua nasconde almeno due segreti: il primo è una dipendenza da alcool e laudano, il secondo un incontenibile desiderio di fare del male. Una nuova storia oscura del XIX secolo, quella di Thomas W. Piper, immigrato dal Canada a Boston, Stati Uniti.

An opera cloak, a preference for females, and a belfry tower all have one thing in common: Thomas Piper. Listen as we discuss the heinous crimes of a man who probably drank one too many shots of laudanum laced booze.

Today we're bringing you two stories! In this episode we're covering the cases of Thomas W Piper and William Henry Theodore Durrant. These are two unrelated cases but they have some strangely similar details...Let us know what you think

In Bombay harbor, Tom, Nathaniel, and Tudor pace the deck, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Sultan of Gujarat and representatives of the British East India Company. When they arrive, Tom, in an inspired scene, delivers two simultaneous sales pitches, one directed toward the interests of the Indians, one toward the British. The final disclosure of the ice is a huge success with both. Tom offers a sample piece to the Sultan as a gift.     The cargo of ice is being unloaded when hundreds of fierce, armed Indians arrive and surround the wharf. The Sultan himself arrives, in high dudgeon, and appeals to the British for justice. He's been tricked. The ice he was given yesterday is gone. Much chuckling about this on the part of the British, who explain that this is melting, something ice always does, but that fortunately Tudor has leased to them the exclusive rights to build icehouses in Bombay, following the secret methods discovered in America after long and arduous effort.     Back in Boston, some time later, on the wharves, Lavinia and Katherine wait, and watch, and worry. Lavinia, peering through a spyglass, suddenly cries, “There!” It's the Tuscany! Both peer through their spyglasses, looking for a sign that will tell them whether the trip has been a success or a failure. At last they spot Tudor, Tom, and Nathaniel, standing in the bow of the first ship, decked out in flamboyant outfits. For some reason not made clear in the film, the Sultan of Gujarat, his attendants, his guards, a bevy of girls in harem pants, four elephants, and a delegation of British colonial officials have come along with them. They are all singing, “Hooray for Freddie Tudor,” a number that is, it must be admitted, a pallid reworking of “Hooray for Captain Spaulding.” It is sung to the same tune:     Hooray for Freddie Tudor!     Yo ho! The iceman cometh!     “Did someone call me goniff?”     Yo ho! Yo ho! Yo ho!THE TRIUMPH didn't last for the Pipers, although ice made Tom Piper a wealthy man. When he died in 1852, he left a considerable fortune, including stock in Tudor's ice business, but within two years his two sons and two daughters had lost it all.     Tom Piper's eldest son, Eleazer, visited a palmist on the day after his father was buried. The thrust of the palmist's remarks was that Eleazer was about to go through a key pivotal time in his life, and that prospects were not good, but that Eleazer could make the best of things by trusting his intuition. Eleazer left the palmist's with his head reeling. In the course of his walk home, he decided to act in accordance with a hunch he'd had for some time. He had been keeping an eye on a British patent medicine, Tono-Bungay. Its sales had grown phenomenally. Eleazer had tried to persuade his father to invest in it, but Thomas Piper's interest in ice had been so consuming that he had paid little attention to his son; Eleazer suspected that his father thought little of his business abilities. The Tono-Bungay company was just beginning to make a serious move toward expansion beyond the British Isles, and Eleazer's intuition told him that now was the time to strike. If he could persuade his siblings to invest, they might obtain an American monopoly in Tono-Bungay, which ought to put them on a surer footing in the coming turbulent times that the palmist had predicted. This was surer than ice, as sure as sure can be.     The sons and daughters of Thomas Piper agreed, swept up by the force of Eleazer's conviction and his hereditary gift for salesmanship. They divested themselves of everything ice had brought them and bid for and won exclusive rights to the American market for Tono-Bungay.     Within a month, Tono-Bungay collapsed. The Ponderevos, who had launched the business in Britain, and the Pipers, who had hoped to advance it in America, were paupers. The palmist, confronted by a blubbering, drunk, and disheveled Eleazer Piper, told him that he had actually been extremely lucky. “If you hadn't followed your hunch in this matter,” she said, “there's no telling what might have happened. Of this, however, I am certain: things would have been far worse.”     In the years that followed, the Piper fortunes rose and fell within a narrower range on the scale of success and failure. When they rose, they rose only to the level where there was enough for dinner and a little extra in case someone dropped by; when they fell, they fell to the level where there wasn't enough for dinner, and if someone dropped by, one of the children would answer the door and say that Father was out.In Topical Guide 259, Mark Dorset considers Popular Culture: Songs: “Hooray for Captain Spaulding” and Schemes, Swindles, and Scams: Tono-Bungay from this episode.Have you missed an episode or two or several?You can begin reading at the beginning or you can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast.

Frederick Lewis Tudor was the man who established the international ice trade, cutting ice on the lakes of New England and shipping it virtually all over the world. This remarkable enterprise captured the imaginations of so disparate a trio as Henry David Thoreau, Gabriel García Márquez, and the Marx Brothers.     In the winter of 1846–1847, when the ice trade was in full swing, Thoreau watched a crew of immigrant Irish ice cutters at work on Walden Pond and recorded in his journal these remarks about the extent and influence of the ice trade:The sweltering inhabitants of Charleston and New Orleans, of Madras and Bombay and Calcutta, drink at my well. . . . The pure Walden water is mingled with the sacred water of the Ganges.A hundred years later, Márquez described the arrival in nineteenth-century Macondo of what may well have been some Walden Pond ice:There was a giant with a hairy torso and a shaved head, with a copper ring in his nose and a heavy iron chain on his ankle, watching over a pirate chest. When it was opened by the giant, the chest gave off a glacial exhalation. Inside there was only an enormous, transparent block. . . .Surely the ice trade, based as it was on teaching people to want something that they hadn't even known existed before, selling something for which there was no demand, marks the dawn of modern marketing, and the Piper family, in the person of Thomas Piper, was there.     What was Thomas Piper like? My mind's eye's image of him is an inaccurate but appealing one. It comes straight from the movie Cracked Ice, in which the Marx Brothers romp through a series of madcap adventures loosely based on the events leading to the establishment of the ice trade.     In Cracked Ice, we first meet the flamboyant Frederick Lewis Tudor (Groucho) at a dinner party in a fashionable home on Beacon Hill, in Boston, in 1805, where he is sitting between the wives of two of his brothers. The brothers, successful, sober men, sit opposite him. Tudor inclines toward one of the women and whispers in her ear. She looks startled, then smiles coquettishly. Tudor inclines toward the other (Margaret Dumont) and whispers in her ear. She squeals and slaps his face.     “Really, Fred,” says one brother, “be reasonable, won't you?”     Tudor, demonstrating the mercurial temper and physical agility for which he was noted, leaps upon the table and begins berating his brothers for their unimaginative reasonableness, gesticulating with the leg of a roast duck as he does so.     “The difference between us, brothers,” he declares at the end of his tirade, dropping himself into the lap of Margaret Dumont, “is that you have hearts of ice. Not mine, brothers! My heart burns! (It must have been the horseradish.) I say phooey to being reasonable. Give me imagination! It's men with imagination who leave their mark on this world!” He looks at Margaret Dumont and bats his eyes. “Am I right, toots?” he asks.     “That sounds like hubris to me, Fred,” says the other brother.     “Hubris, schmoobris,” Tudor fires back. “I tell you the man with imagination can do anything he puts his mind to. Anything!”     “How about — selling water?” suggests the first of the brothers, with haughty composure, idly turning the stem of his crystal goblet. The other guests laugh. Tudor storms out of the house in a rage, and from the street he shouts, “I will sell water, and I'll make my fortune at it, too!”     Striding across the street, blinded by rage, he is nearly run over by a wagon (not a Studebaker; Henry and Clem Studebaker built their first wagons in 1852). The driver, young Tom Piper (Chico), stops his horses and rushes to pick Tudor up from the cobblestone pavement. Still in a fury, Tudor waves him off. “When I need your help, I'll ask for it,” he shouts.     Tom climbs back up to his seat and is about to pull away. Tudor notices the lettering on the side of the van: WENHAM ICE. His face lights up. “Help!” he cries.In Topical Guide 266, Mark Dorset considers Real People and Historical Figures from this episode.Have you missed an episode or two or several?You can begin reading at the beginning or you can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast.

3In Which Herb Is Born to the Pipers of BostonMY GRANDFATHER, Herb Piper, was born in Boston, into a family that was broke. For generations, the Pipers had exhibited two outstanding characteristics: a cool-headed talent for selling and a gullible ineptitude for investing. It was quite possible for a Piper to accumulate a tidy nest egg over the course of a week of selling and lose it in an hour by buying into a scheme that he thought would double his money overnight — a land deal, say, that he had overheard two fellows talking about downtown while he was having lunch, a deal that, he allowed himself to be convinced, involved virtually no risk whatsoever, a deal that was as sure as sure can be. Like a dog biting its own tail, a Piper at his worst turned his talent against himself, selling himself on the wisdom of his folly. This type of self-deception, self-injury, has been known in my family for generations as “doing a foolish Piper thing.” When imprudent Pipers found that they had done a foolish Piper thing, when the land, the development company, and the two fellows vanished, some Pipers would brood and curse themselves and the foolish Piper giant who seemed to dog their steps, but others would shrug and chuckle at themselves and their inherited folly. Herb's grandfather was of the chuckling type. “Well,” he had said when he broke the news about the land, the development company, and the two vanishing fellows to Herb's grandmother, “I've gone and done a foolish Piper thing, haven't I?”     Once, however, there had been a substantial Piper fortune, thanks to Herb's great-grandfather, Thomas Piper, and his association with Frederick Lewis Tudor, the finest flower ever to blossom on the vine of American marketing genius. In his essay “The American Drummer,” Wilhelm Huber wrote, “I am among those who hold that a genius for selling, that curious alliance of art, ingenuity, inspiration, cupidity, and fraud, is the American genius.” Certainly it was a genius for selling that made the United States, for a while at any rate, the commercial giant of the world, indeed the model for what a commercial giant might be. Just what was the nature of that genius that made America a great commercial nation, that genius that was so pronounced in Frederick Lewis Tudor and in the Piper family? Edward Huxtable has attempted to describe it, in The Person in Your Mirror Is You:     The inept salesman or saleswoman has the wrong mental image of himself or herself and his or her product, something like a huckster at a sideshow in a traveling circus might have: he or she feels that what he or she sells is inferior, an embarrassment. He or she imagines that he or she could be a much better huckster if the fat lady were fatter, the rubber man more limber, the dog-boy more slavering. But the best huckster, the genius huckster, begins by selling him- or herself on the merits of his or her commodity and so finds it not merely easy but intellectually satisfying, even morally gratifying, to persuade the rubes or inform the consumers that slim fat ladies are the rage, arthritic rubber men the rarest, dry-mouthed dog-boys the marvel of the age. The natural genius salesperson, whether he or she peddles books, cars, furniture, jewelry, pocket calculators, or investment schemes, is a carrier of his or her own infectious self-deception.In Topical Guide 255, Mark Dorset considers Real Places: Boston, Late Nineteenth Century; Salesmanship; Traits, Generational Persistence of and Real People and Historical Figures from this episode.Have you missed an episode or two or several?You can begin reading at the beginning or you can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast.

You don't need the might of Jobu behind you to enjoy this Major Lager beer from The Brew Kettle Brewery out of Ohio. The crew forgets about the curveball as they throw straight heaters down the middle to discuss the magic of a cold beer and baseball -- so much baseball! Our thanks to Thomas Piper from Scrub Squad 1978 for sending us this gem of 80's pop-culture that's wrapped up in a tribute to baseball and beer. We promise we didn't put snot on the can, but we've got Atlas uniforms and everything as we cover the bases *and* this beer from Brew Kettle. Some small craft beers never had a prime, but Brew Kettle is throwing some solid pitches with this one. And they didn't even get the live chicken. Is this brew the beer you've been waiting your whole life for? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe it's juuuuust a bit outside your typical ballgame night beverage. But if you belly up to this episode of "A Beer With Atlas", we'll pour you a nice dose of audio satisfaction while the bartender gets Jobu his refill. (And hats for bats. Keeps bats warm.)

Dartmouth Films presents, Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf. Directed by Thomas Piper which Premieres in the UK at Picturehouse Central, 13 June 2019. On todays episode Thomas talks with Peter Donegan. The Sodshow is available weekly in iTunes, spotify, Youtube and all good podcast stores.  Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf is an immersion in the life and work of the most influential landscape designer of the last 50 years. Piet is responsible for New York’s High Line and many other iconic urban spaces. Closer home, Piet designed the landscaping for the entire site at Hauser & Wirth Somerset. He is in great demand for his revolutionary ideas of what gardens and public spaces can be, and the impact they can have. More than just a movie for gardeners, Five Seasons changes the way all of us think about and ultimately see beauty itself. The Sodshow: Twitter: @sodshow facebook: The Sodshow instagram: sodshow About Five Seasons: Celebrated by gardeners for his revolutionary designs, by ecologists for his significant contributions to bio-diversity, by horticulturalists and botanists for his unrivalled knowledge of plants, and by the art, design and fashion worlds for his innovative aesthetics, Piet Oudolf has achieved a level of influence and cultural relevance, rarely, if ever, attained by, in his own words, a modest plantsman. Over the course of the documentary, Piet leads filmmaker Thomas Piper and his camera on a wandering journey, visiting many of his iconic works, including his own garden in Holland and the great public works in New York, Chicago, and the UK, as well as far-flung sources of inspiration, from German industrial parks to the deep woods of Pennsylvania, and a Texas wildflower explosion. In between travel, we are afforded an exclusive look at the entire process of creating a garden — from winter studio sketches to foggy spring planting and, finally, a late September opening celebration — all through a single project, what Piet now refers to as his masterpiece, the 7000 square metre public garden for the art gallery, Hauser & Wirth Somerset. With meditative cinematography and intimate conversations, Five Seasons follows Piet over the course of a year, a structure that accentuates the element of time in Piet’s designs. Beginning in late autumn, the remnants of summer opulence in his gardens give way to the ‘skeletons’ and seed heads of winter. With spring, the cycle begins again, through the peak of summer flowers, and by the return of fall, a complex subject has helped us to appreciate his complex work, forever changing the way we see the world around us. Piet Oudolf: Piet Oudolf was born in 1944 in Haarlem, Netherlands. Since 1982, he has lived and worked in Hummelo, a tiny village in east Netherlands, where he started a nursery with his wife Anja, to grow perennials. His garden has since become renowned for its radical approach and ideas about planting design. Oudolf also co-founded Future Plants, a company specialising in selecting, growing, breeding and protecting plants for landscaping and public areas. Oudolf’s recent public projects include No. 5 Culture Chanel, Paris, France; The High Line, New York NY; Lurie Garden, Millennium Park, Chicago IL; Serpentine Gallery, London, England, and the Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy. Oudolf is also a successful author, having co-written numerous books such as; “Planting: A New Perspective” (2013); “Landscape in Landscapes” (2011); “Gardening with Grasses” (1998); “Designing with Plants and Planting Design” (1999); “Dream Plants for the Natural Garden” (2000); “Planting the Natural Garden” (2003), and “Planting Design: Gardens in Time and Space” (2005). In his 35-year career, Oudolf has achieved international acclaim, and has recently been awarded an Honorary Fellowship from RIBA for developing radical ideas in Planting Design (2012) and the Prince Bernhard Cultural Foundation Award (2013). Thomas Piper: Thomas Piper is an award-winning non-fiction filmmaker, specialising in documenting the contemporary arts.

Ethan Hein teaches music technology NYU and Montclair State University. His blog covers all kinds of related topics on music theory and technology. Ethan's work is a must for anyone looking to go deep into studying music and the culture surrounding it. Ethan and I had a great conversation about creating music, overcoming obstacles, and finding meaning in one's work. I really enjoy how Ethan is able to tie together concepts and illuminate new ways of understanding what music means and how it impacts us and reflects the state of our world.  Listen on iTunes or Stitcher or Google Play Show Notes: Ethan Hein Blog- Tons of great writings on all things making music.
