Send us Fan MailThe Seline River Valley in Kansas was once home to immense migrating herds of shaggy buffalo that darkened the plains as far as the eye could see. These animals grazed on succulent buffalo and grama grass, drank from the local creeks and rivers, and wallowed in the hard-packed alkaline soil to lick salt from the ground. While Native Americans historically relied on these massive herds for food and clothing, they were not the only ones who hunted them. By the 1840s, the American Fur Company was purchasing thousands of buffalo robes annually. As more people entered the region following the 1859 gold strike at Cherry Creek, frontier merchants like Charles Rath arrived to establish trading contacts with the Southern Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Northern Comanche bands. Rath even strengthened these alliances by marrying a Cheyenne woman in 1860, the same year he took over a trading post on Walnut Creek following a deadly clash between the Kiowa tribe and the post's former owner, George Peacock.As the decade progressed, tensions escalated between Native Americans and white settlers, leading to multiple raids on Rath's Walnut Creek trading post despite his efforts to maintain peace. For his own safety, his Cheyenne wife eventually convinced him to divorce her. Meanwhile, the expansion of the Butterfield Overland Dispatch freight service and the arrival of the railroad transformed the region's landscape. The military established several forts to secure the area, including Fort Fletcher (later known as Fort Hays). The rapid construction of the railroads brought in thousands of settlers and specialized construction crews, who were fed by professional buffalo hunters. Skilled marksmen, including Jim White, Tom Nixon, AC Myer, and Josiah Wright Moore, were hired by the railroad to hunt the animals. The hunters then sold the buffalo hides to factories to create the leather belts needed to drive the machinery of the emerging industrial age, fundamentally changing the American West.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included. 

Send us Fan MailJosiah Wright Moore, a young New Englander who traveled to Fort Hays, Kansas, in 1870 to make his fortune, recounts his initial struggles and a pivotal meeting with an experienced buffalo hunter named Jim White. After deciding to transition from hauling wood to buffalo hunting, Josiah attempts to purchase a wagon and team, which leads to a rough encounter with a stable owner who turns out to be Jim himself. Jim ultimately takes Josiah under his wing, and together they encounter Tom Nixon and AC Myers, who offer to form a four-man hunting team using a surplus outfit funded by eastern sportsmen. Inspired by a circular advertising a profitable market for buffalo hides through dealers like Charlie Rath, the men prepare to embark on a new hunting enterprise together.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included. 

Handing the baton over to someone else can be risky, especially when it's your company you're handing over. Timea Kristof shares her research on six key factors necessary for a successful succession process to happen, and one of the most important factors might surprise you. It's love. Timea shares insights from her research, including examples of organisations she interviewed such as a family business with three generations of failed successions, as well as her own lived experience of handovers. We also discuss Peter Koenig's Source Work and how this is a helpful lens when thinking about succession. And we also share some personal learning moments as people pleasers in recovery!

Send us a textStep back in time to the dusty, lawless streets of Dodge City, Kansas as we unravel the enigmatic legend of "Mysterious" Dave Mathers over glasses of Knob Creek bourbon. Few characters in Western lore earned their nicknames more honestly than Mathers, whose life story combines gunfights, peculiar behavior, and ultimately, a disappearance that sealed his place in frontier mythology.We trace Mathers' journey from his early days as a horse thief running with Dave Rudabaugh to his arrival in Dodge City around 1874. After surviving a near-fatal knife attack and forming an unusual business relationship with local physician Dr. Thomas McCarty, Mathers embarked on a colorful career that regularly blurred the line between lawman and outlaw. You'll hear the hilarious tale of "the conversion of Dave Mather," where he exposed a preacher's congregation as hypocrites with a well-placed gunshot, and discover his unique method for testing his sobriety—shooting at the town fire bell after leaving saloons.The heart of our story follows Mathers through his time with the notorious "Dodge City Gang" in Las Vegas, New Mexico, his return to Dodge as assistant marshal, and his fateful, escalating feud with town founder Tom Nixon. Their rivalry over politics, business competition, and a woman culminated in one of Dodge City's most telling shootouts—where Mathers killed Nixon with four bullets and walked away free on self-defense claims, despite the shooting occurring weeks after Nixon's initial attempt on his life.What happened to Mysterious Dave after that deadly encounter? Like many aspects of his life, his ultimate fate remains shrouded in mystery—a fitting end for a man whose very nickname acknowledged the enigma of his existence. Join us for this captivating glimpse into frontier justice, personalities, and the complex moral code that governed the American West.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

In this episode, we welcome Tom Nixon, author of Work with Source, to explore the powerful yet often overlooked idea of “source” - as the person who first conceives and commits to a creative initiative - and the impact such a role has on organizations. Drawing from his extensive experience advising founders and mission-driven projects, Tom helps us unpack what it truly means to hold the role of source - beyond conventional leadership, and as he puts it, “being the author of the story that unfolds.” Together, we explore how organizations can enable a deep human dimension behind all authentic ventures, and work towards a truly regenerative and evolutionary way of organizing.While many conversations around leadership focus on structure, roles, or decision-making, this episode looks at a deeper assessment of where creative initiatives truly begin - and how they should maintain coherence as they evolve. Tom Nixon introduces us to the subtle but powerful idea of “source” as the unique origin point from which meaning, direction, and integrity flow.We explore how the source perspective can help us navigate complexity, and why the source is simply not a “genius hero” figure, as we presume.He also helps us unpack more regenerative, emergent, and resilient ways of working together. So, for listeners looking to understand the creative dynamics that often hide behind hierarchical organizational structures - and why honouring the human in a project is highly strategic - this conversation is a source of guidance.

Send us a textThe saloon doors swing open on a sweltering evening in Dodge City as Cimarron George seeks refuge from the oppressive prairie heat. What begins as a simple quest for companionship quickly draws him into the electric atmosphere of the Long Branch Saloon – a microcosm of frontier tension where personal vendettas, political ambition, and business rivalries converge under the watchful glass eyes of a massive mounted moose head.George finds himself privy to whispered conversations about the dangerous feud brewing between Jim Masterson and AJ Peacock, co-owners of the Lady Gay Saloon. The conflict centers around Peacock's brother-in-law Al Updegraff, accused of theft and drunkenness, with rumors swirling that legendary lawman Bat Masterson might soon return from Tombstone to defend his brother's honor. These tensions crystallize when Mayor Webster makes his unforgettable entrance – breaking his cane over a man's head merely for offering congratulations after supposedly spreading rumors during the election.The evening introduces us to a cast of frontier characters that embody the West's contradictions: Tom Nixon, the legendary buffalo hunter who reportedly killed 120 buffalo in 40 minutes, now serving as assistant marshal; Pat Sughrue, the jovial Irishman newly elected to city council; and Marshal Singer, whose casual approach to peacekeeping belies the violence simmering beneath Dodge City's surface. As Webster warns of trouble on tomorrow's horizon and orders deputies to watch the train station, the Beeson Band strikes up a patriotic tune that momentarily unites the diverse saloon patrons – a fleeting harmony in a town poised on the edge of conflict.Saddle up with us for more frontier adventures by checking out the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum's five-minute podcast "This Week in the West," premiering every Monday.

Episode 111: Jay Harrington and Tom Nixon riff on the benefits of becoming the type of person who “gets lucky” in business instead of being beholden to a strict strategy. They review 2022 trends and developments on LinkedIn, including the flood of Twitter creators flocking to LinkedIn and the selfie craze. And they address the importance of becoming known well to a particular audience versus being well known to the masses.

Erik is an executive advisor on transformation and the future of work, leadership, and collaboration, and the author of ‘Teal Dots in an Orange World.' We talk about how this 'new ways of working' movement is evolving, and in particular a positive trend that Erik calls 'fragmented organisations' that's happening because it's hard to scale self-managed or 'teal' practices and principles in a uniform way. Erik shares what he has observed, particularly in larger organisations, including challenges like interfacing with the outside world when you are a progressive organisation. Finally, we explore leadership and 'futures literacy' as an important skill. I love Erik's articulate and thoughtful style and I think this was a great sense-making conversation.

Fanny Norlin supports leaders, teams and business to unleash the creative potential in the dance between the masculine and the feminine. We explore her framework for thinking about these energies. This is an unconventional but useful and very practical conversation on the topic. We touch upon the basic definitions, how to understand them, what we're leaving on the table when we are not engaging with these energies. The potential is there regardless of if it is within business or in systems transformation. To work with Fanny either in your business, as a coach or a speaker take a look at her webpage (Take a look at EP120 with Tom Nixon - to get more inspiration for a start up context)

Tom Nixon with Toward Zero Deaths

This week I got to speak with Tom Nixon. An entrepreneur and the author of the book Work with Source (workwithsource.com). The conversation adressed his work on Source especially in the context of regenerative and decentralised ventures. The work is based on Peter Koeneig's work and it has proven to be of great importance again and again in start-ups. The Source principles is a break away from the not uncommon idea that as we co-create there is no single leader and rather it claims that the actual initiator of the question, gathering or the organisation has a special position. This conversation is exciting and highly useful to get a 10.000 m view of Toms work. If you're curious to know more check out the links in this description. Tom is also the founder and source of maptio.com (a tool for drawing decentralised organisations). If you want to get in touch with him you can either go through tomnixon.co.uk or via twitter: @tomnixon

How do we realise worthwhile ideas in the world? Define a goal, create a plan, build a great team? That's how we're told to do it. How about instead, we listen to what we're really called to do?

When Laurence and I closed our digital agency it seemed like the natural thing to do. At the time we had beautiful studio, a talented team and clients with ongoing projects but we'd lost the creative energy to keep it going. We weren't clear about its future and we were being drawn to grow the Happy Startup School. While it wasn't plain sailing closing Spook Studio was a lot less traumatic experience than what many other founders have had to go through. In this episode of the podcast we're joined for our Friday Fireside by Tom Nixon, author, coach and founder of Maptio (a tool to help develop self managing organisations). He's on a mission to support founders and research what it takes to create (and close) impactful companies. Tom shares his story of entrepreneurship, how he closed his company and why some businesses have a natural shelf-life, and that's fine. We talk about the taboo connected with closing a company and how we've lost sight of the creativity and the humanity at the core of business. Businesses may be legal entities in themselves but in reality they're just a collection of people brought together by the creative energy of the founder. When we forget this we can easily become imprisoned by the structures we've created. If you're a founder thinking about closing your company or at the beginning of a startup journey we hope that this conversation will give you a new and more energising perspective on what it means to be an entrepreneur.

Tom points to social changes as most fundamental to the rapid growth of the Chinese market, particularly with how quick consumers are in adopting new technologies. There are three keys to this change: 1) Immersion, or maximizing the buyer experience (i.e. standardizing vertical video); 2) Innovation, and framing these novel platforms as a positive lifestyle change; 3) Entertainment, which was never a huge factor to the Chinese consumer in the past.According to Tom, there are two types of content: 1) Marketing content, which is produced by brands; and 2) User-generated content (UGC), which is created by the consumers themselves. When it comes to content that resonates with Chinese consumers, the focus should be put on who buyers are listening to at that point in time. This is always changing: From Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), today's “authority figures” are micro-influencers.The common thread here is the democratization of business. While before we were constantly faced with big, flashy, high-budget advertising, now we tend to listen more to raw, down-to-earth, and entertaining individual creators who are (seemingly) “just like us”.Tom advises Western brands to understand their customers' touchpoints and ecosystems. The biggest mistake companies make is not being aware of cultural nuances. At worst, they risk offending potential buyers with their marketing. At best, they know where consumers go, but not how to actually engage with them or how to tailor their brand to their target customers.Tom's real-life example is when a company once reached out for help regarding what content to produce on WeChat—without first considering whether WeChat is really the best place for them to be in. Understanding the platforms is important indeed, but it is just as important to understand the culture of the people using these platforms.
