In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm, co-founder and president of SoulShop Studios, about doing Jewish “outreach” to non-Jews. Jewish texts are usually considered to be kept away from the outside world. But according to Rabbi Lamm, this is largely a misconception, as Jewish texts—from the Bible and the Talmud to the Midrash and beyond—have shaped the course of the human story. In this episode we discuss:Is “interfaith dialogue” generally ineffective?How did Christianity's Protestant Reformation impact the Jewish People? In what way did chazal “ignite” the American Revolution?Tune in to hear a conversation about what the Jewish tradition has contributed—and still has to offer—to the broader culture. Interview begins at 7:58.Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm is Co-Founder and President of SoulShop Studios, a new media venture for faith-driven Gen Z audiences, and Chief Executive of the Bnai Zion Foundation. Rabbi Dr. Lamm is a leading Jewish public intellectual using digital media to bring great Jewish ideas to the wider English-speaking public. He is the host of the top-ranked weekly podcast on the Bible and society, Good Faith Effort. And his popular Twitter threads on “Why Read the Bible in Hebrew?” have garnered over 4 million views to date, and been covered by major international news outlets. He joins us to talk about teaching the bible to non-Jews.

I received an email recently from a fellow podcaster. He mentioned how he picks a word at the beginning of January to help him stay focused for the year. His 2022 word of the year was “celebrate.” For 2023 he chose “authentic.” Apparently lots of people are choosing a word of the year for themselves. I googled the phrase “Word of the Year for 2023” and found 1,060,000,000 entries. Keep listening to hear my pick for word of the year for 2023 and what it could mean for you. Welcome to You Were Made for This If you find yourself wanting more from your relationships, you've come to the right place. Here you'll discover practical principles you can use to experience the life-giving relationships you were made for. I'm your host, John Certalic, award-winning author and relationship coach, here to help you find more joy in the relationships God designed for you. To access all past and future episodes, go to the bottom of this page, enter your name and email address, then click on the follow or subscribe button. The episodes are organized chronologically and are also searchable by topics, categories, and keywords. Word of the Year for 2023 Some people like to pick a word for the year at the end of the year to summarize what life has been like for them over the past 12 months. The dictionary people at Merriam-Webster, for example, chose “gaslighting” as their word of the year for 2022. They say it has come to mean “the act or practice of grossly misleading someone, especially for a personal advantage.” The word has an interesting origin and a more robust definition, but we'll have to save that for another episode. Like my podcaster friend, though, I would rather come up with a word of the year at the beginning of the year, not at the end. So my pick for word of the year for 2023 is “Read.” Why “Read”? Here's why I picked this word, rather than any number of other worthwhile words. It starts with a quote I recently came across that I've found to be so insightful. It comes from William Nicholson, the playwright most famous for his play, Shadowlands, the story of C.S. Lewis and his relationship with Joy Gresham whom he eventually marries. Again that's a subject for another podcast. Be that as it may, Nicholson says “We read to know we are not alone.” I find this rather profound. It speaks to the issue of loneliness which plagues many of us, me included, and offers a remedy. We read to know we are not alone. A text I read recently Here is an example of something I read recently about someone's experience that resonated with me, and reminded me I'm not alone. It's a text I received that I've altered slightly to protect the privacy of a listener who wrote it. I'll call her Emily. She writes Well, I just listened to your Podcast 187, “Angels We Have Heard On High.” You asked if anyone wanted to share a Christmas Memory. You did have a deadline, and I missed it. However, I wanted to share with you what I discovered when I asked my husband James if he had a joyful Christmas memory that stood out in his mind. He thought and thought and couldn't come up with one. So now I understand why he has never been excited about Christmas in our 52 years of marriage. Has never done any Christmas shopping…didn't participate in any decorating…I cannot remember getting a gift that he shopped for…and at work, he was known as the “grinch.” It caused more stress in our relationship which ultimately caused me to stop Christmas shopping, and I do very little decorating. So, thanks to you, John, I at least now understand “why.” Greater appreciation of people comes from reading their story I so identify with both people in this little story. Like, James. I can't think of a joyful Christmas memory from my childhood. I have many as an adult, but none as a kid. But I also got the sense that James has no adult joyful memories of Christmas either. I feel fortunate that I've been able to not let the dysfunctional part of my past interfere with the joy of the present. On the one hand, I felt encouraged by what I read in Emily's text. I so easily could have been like her husband James, and her text reminded me of how blessed I am that God saved me from being stuck in my past. I wish the same would be true for James. And at the same time, I feel sad for Emily because her husband hampers her Christmas experience, and sadness for the stress it has caused her. I admire people like Emily who choose to honor her marriage vows despite the conflicts and pain that arise from time to time. How many marriages do you know that have lasted 52 years? The Word of the Year for me in 2023, “Read,” gives me a greater appreciation for the values and character of the people like Emily who cross my path. And it only happened because of something I read, namely her text. A joyful email I read Another podcast listener, Marilyn from Minnesota, has written to me before. This time she wrote to share a joyful Christmas memory, even though it came in after the Christmas deadline. But I'm going to share it anyway. I loved reading it, and I think you'll love hearing it. It's a story her mother told her. Marilyn writes, My grandfather was born and raised in England where he was apprenticed as a "shipwright," a finish carpenter on large ships. When he immigrated to the US at age 21, he settled in a place far from big ships. He became a "finish carpenter" in homes in northern Indiana. The Great Depression hit his business hard as people decided to save the money they had for necessities. There was a lake near grandpa's home and he took a job in the winter cutting huge blocks of ice from the lake for use in refrigeration. During this most difficult financial year, there was no money to buy a real Christmas tree (the only option at that time). On Christmas Eve, he was walking home after cutting ice on Cedar Lake. There it was, lying in a heap, a discarded Christmas tree, complete with tinsel. Apparently, a family was heading to relatives elsewhere and didn't want to come home to a dried-up Christmas tree in their house. Grandpa took the tree home, set it up, and surprised his family the next morning with everything needed for a joyous celebration! God is at work in the stories we read Marilyn doesn't mention “God” at all in her grandfather's story, but can't you see God's hand in providing an unexpected Christmas tree at the last minute for this poor family? I would love to have been in the house on Christmas morning when everyone woke up to see that tinsel-laden Christmas tree. Imagine the joy that would have filled the room. There are so many reasons why “read” is my vote for Word of The Year for 2023. One is that when we read stories of the lives of others, like the one Marilyn shared about her grandfather, we often see God at work. And when we see examples of God at work in the lives of others, it gives us hope that he is at work in our life as well. Reading her story about the Christmas tree reminds me of the verse in the Bible, John 5:17, where Jesus tells the Pharisees, “My Father is always working, and so am I.” So what does what you've heard today mean for YOU? If my Word of the Year for 2023 (read) doesn't resonate with you, what word does? You have a lot to choose from. If you see possibilities in read for 2023, what are you going to read? Today I only talked about the benefits of reading someone's text, and another person's email. We haven't gotten into the rewards that come from reading books, newspapers, blogs, magazines, or other forms of the written word. I'll share more about this in next week's episode. But for now, what are you going to read so that you know you are not alone? Here's the main takeaway I hope you remember from today's episode “Read” is a good choice for Word of The Year for 2023. Reading what others experience connects us with people. Reading reminds us that we're not alone in the struggles we face and that God is at work in them for our good.

This week I am answering Garrett's question about Colossians 1:24. Thanks Doc. He asked: What is the concept of what is lacking in Christ Suffering? Colossians 1:24 Paul's Ministry to the Church 24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, kjv Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: ESV Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am supplementing what is lacking [a]in Christ's afflictions in behalf of His body, which is the church. NASV I want you to know how glad I am that it's me sitting here in this jail and not you. There's a lot of suffering to be entered into in this world—the kind of suffering Christ takes on. I welcome the chance to take my share in the church's part of that suffering. When I became a servant in this church, I experienced this suffering as a sheer gift, God's way of helping me serve you, laying out the whole truth. The Message Why read the Bible? How To Read the Bible? Why Read the Bible? About Greek and how the Bible can throw us off sometimes. How God can use that to teach us. Like He did me this week. The Bible is an anthology—a compilation of texts of a variety of forms—originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek.

In her essay “Why Read a Poem in a Time Like This?”, Marilyn McEntyre writes: All of us need it. We need it because good poems do something prose can't do. They invite and enable us to notice the precarious fissures in what we think is solid ground. They direct us toward the light at the edge of things — the horizon, the fragment of dream before dawn, the feeling that's hard to name, and can only be accurately captured by metaphor. They take us to the edge of “what can't be said,” and ambush us into feeling before we think, so that we can't simply and complacently “believe everything we think.” Poetry deals in surprise and subversion and turns old words to new purposes. Marilyn is joined by Guy Micco to talk about why poetry is important in general, why it's important in medical or nursing education, and why it's important for people who care for older adults. Along the way, they read poems, talk about poems, and sing a song by John Prine. We talk about how poetry can surprise, how poems can be playful, how they unlock dimensions and emotions that are otherwise locked away. How sometimes good poetry can be like a needed punch. And maybe, just maybe, we convince that poetry skeptic Eric Widera that there is a place for poetry in medicine after all.

S4 E5: Shehanne Moore and Dave Astor on Reading the Classics “A classic is the term given to any book which comes to represent the whole universe, a book on a par with ancient talismans.” Italo Calvino, Why Read the Classics? Welcome to Tea, Toast and Trivia. Thank you for listening in. Shehanne Moore from Dundee Scotland, and David Astor from Montclair, New Jersey have joined me in connecting three times zones within seconds to bring you a discussion on “What is a classic? Why should we read classics? And what classics should we read? Shehanne, also known as Shey, is a published author and publisher under Black Wolf Books, a small royalty paying publisher, presently taking submissions by invitation only. Dave Astor is an author, journalist, blogger, and writer of the award-winning weekly “Montclairvoyant” topical-humor column for Baristanet.com. He is a National Society of Newspaper Columnists board member. Shey and Dave are avid readers and have great insights to share. This promises to be an exciting discussion so put the kettle on and on and add to the conversation on Tea Toast & Trivia. Thank you for joining Shey, Dave, and me on Tea Toast & Trivia. And a very special thank you, Shey and Dave for adding your insights on reading journeys that last a lifetime. Listeners, I invite you to meet up with Shey on her website, Shehanne Moore. You can follow Shey on Goodreads as well as Amazon at Shehanne Moore You can connect with Dave on Dave Astor on Literature. You can follow Dave on Goodreads as well as Amazon at Dave Astor I want to close with a quote from Dave's book, Fascinating Facts About Famous Fiction Authors and the Greatest Novels of All Time: “Literature can send our minds to another time and place, allowing us to forget our lives and troubles for a few precious hours. It can educate us about history, open our minds, increase our empathy, make us think, give us things to converse about, and/or provide plenty of excitement along with the escapism.” Until next time we meet, dear friends, keep reading, keep safe and be well.
In a follow up from last week's episode ("What are you Reading?"), Mike and Connor tackle the question, "Why Read?" Whether you read voraciously or rarely pick up a book, we hope this encourages you to find greater excitement in reading God's Word and other great books. This also turned into our longest episode to date—probably predictable considering how much we both enjoy reading. Nevertheless, happy listening, we hope this is helpful to you!

Last time on the Read-Aloud Revival podcast, we talked about what happens (and what our kids gain) when we read aloud a book a day. In this episode, we're digging in to how to look closely at a picture book—how to see what we might otherwise miss. You may be surprised at how much is there in a picture book, just waiting to be seen and heard! No lesson plans are needed. Just you, your kid(s), a book plucked from your shelf. Ready? Let's do this. In this episode, you'll hear: What about just reading, and not doing anything extra?How open-ended questions change the reading experience for everyoneHow to look at a picture book in a brand new way CLICK THE PLAY BUTTON TO START LISTENING: PRINTABLE TRACKERS: TIME STAMPS: 3:28All of the good stuff ...6:17The wonderful Provensens!8:27Using open-ended questions11:17Modeling observations13:49Looking closely19:57Monet and the cat

Reading changes us. Why not choose who we want to change us, and read their works?Several things to note for this episode:Yes, this is another episode that doubles as me practicing for a Toastmasters meeting;Yes, I could have mentioned the Bible in both this episode and in Toastmasters, but didn't, and fought myself on that one. For one, I think there are some people who are intimidated by reading the Bible, and if my goal was to persuade, I wanted to choose a more manageable actionable item for them. For another, I have sometimes gotten into a strange rut where I don't read much, but I will keep reading the Bible, and I need to remember to read other things too, and a part of every episode is making sure I say the things that I know future-me will need to hear. And third, I wanted my action item to be immediately delightful, rather than the multi-valanced response Scripture often receives. Going along with that third point is that if people aren't used to grappling with a text, starting them on familiar ground may make them better readers in the long run, and prepare them for grappling with Scripture at some later date;I also generally recommend that people read books within a community of readers, but did not mention that in this episode. I still recommend it though!I'm pretty sure we'll be back to longer-form episodes soon. And Crystal-populated episodes. It's just been a weird couple of weeks.

Christy passionately shares her heart in this second part of Why Read the Bible. We don't read Scripture to get spiritual points with God or because we should, we read the Bible so that we will know the truth about God for ourselves. The world and even things that seem Christian are often full of lies, but Jesus is the truth that will set us free. And we will know the truth as we read the revelation that God has given us in His Word. It's not a magic formula to use, it's a Living Person to discover.

Welcome to the #PracticWithClara Podcast where Clara and Stephanie discuss philosophy, yoga, and all things yoga-related. This week our theme was the Warrior and we read the Bhagavad Gita. We discussed three of the major themes from the Gita including action for action's sake, devotion, and fate. 4:07 - Synopsis of The Bhagavad Gita One of India's epic narratives, a conversation between Arjuna and Krishna on how to deal with intense moral decisions. 7:22 - Backstory to the Battlefield What led Arjuna to the battlefield and how he wound up with Krishna (God) as his advisor. 15:03 - The Dualistic Nature of Humanity How The Gita captures the light and dark of what it means to be human and all of our flaws. 15:58 - Why Read a Book About War? As yogis, we practice ahimsa (non-violence) so why would we study a book about violence? 20:18 - Acton for Action's Sake Why we should act for action's sake and not strive for a desired result, and do what we need to because its what needs to get done. 21:48 - The Warrior We Call Upon Clara shares how we call upon the warrior when we need courage, or to discover our truth and speak our truth. 28:27 - I Am Death, Shatterer of Worlds Reading and discussion of an excerpt from The Gita, 11:32 34:40 - Acting for the Greater Good The importance of coming together as a collective through examples of The GIta and voting in the Americas. 37:33 - What is Fate? Examining the idea of fate in how energies come together as we interact with the world. 41:25 - Who Creates Change? A story about children on a playground and the rhythm of energy created, and asking: who is creating the rhythm? 43:30 - The Indigo Children Who are the indigo children, why are they important, and some examples of where and how they live today. 47:17 - The Great Revelation Reading from The Gita, where Krishna reveals Arjuna his cosmic form and discussion of devotion being a devoted student to the practice. 53:00 - The Power of Bhakti, Devotion Why we act from a pure place in the heart, as an offering to something outside of yourself, to let go of ego and melt into the Divine.

Disagreements between citizens must be settled by ballots not bullets. But disagreements between nations are settled by power not paper; by cannons not committees. Stop telling lies to little children. Is it any of your business if I buy the house next to you, never occupy it and leave it empty? Why did my father torment me with mechanical clocks? How important is protecting private property? What does Vancouver, British Columbia have to do with Jerusalem, Israel? Nations should pursue their interests not those of the United Nations, the International Court, or any other bogus institutions that have never prevented a war, let alone stopped one. You have fewer property rights living in the city than out in the country. Why?

Dollar-cost averaging. It’s probably the most boring financial term ever. (We’re working on coming up with a new term. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone?) Snooze-inducing as it sounds, dollar-cost averaging is a super important technique that everyone should be using to invest. Why? Read on. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN [01:55] What dollar-cost averaging means [03:30] Why timing the market doesn’t work [04:24] The key to investing: don’t think about it [05:20] Some musings on stock market fear [08:14] Bring on the volatility! [09:34] Start low and stick to it Timing the market doesn’t work Brace yourself: we get topical in this episode. How could we not? Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably been bombarded with minute-by-minute updates on COVID-19, aka coronavirus. Warnings against travel. The number of cases in the United States and worldwide. The number of deaths from coronavirus. And its impact on the stock market. There’s nothing wrong with staying up-to-date on important news — and we’re huge believers in washing your hands to prevent germs from spreading — but the point is, staying glued to the media 24/7 is not healthy, especially for your financial strategy. This kind of media consumption can trick you into thinking that the perfect time to invest is always just around the corner. “Well, if the stock market is down right now thanks to the coronavirus, it’ll go much lower soon! Then I’ll jump in and invest!” Trying to time the market doesn’t work, folks. As Danielle said in this episode, you can always come up with a reason to wait to invest, whether the market is high or low. Rather than overthinking your investment strategy, or trying to find the “perfect” time to start investing, you need a consistent strategy that will weather the ups and downs of the market. That’s what dollar-cost averaging does for you. Why dollar-cost averaging works If you need a refresher on what dollar-cost averaging is, here you go: you invest the same amount of money each month, no matter what the market is doing. That’s really all there is to it! Essentially, dollar-cost averaging makes you buy less when the market is higher, and buy more when the market is lower, as Dustin put it. That’s the best way to invest. And it works best when the market does fluctuate a lot. Ready to get started? Then stick with a low dollar amount. Figure out what your budget will allow and automate it with your bank so you don’t have to worry about it. From there, increase your monthly purchase amount when you can afford to. This kind of commitment to investing will pay off for you now, and especially for your future self. Another note: don’t check your accounts daily. Especially when the markets are volatile. Just trust us on this one. This material is for general information only and is not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations for any individual.

What to Read Next in Your Middle School Classroom – and Why It’s So Important How do you create connection with your students? What strategies do you use to get to know them as individuals, figure out who they are, see where they are struggling or shining – not just with your curriculum, but in life. Kids need to know you’re invested in them. I’ve found, books are the best way to connect with your students. Not just for humanities classes, like English and social studies – it works across the curriculum. I’m not talking about the same tired list of classroom novels – I’m talking about the new, cutting edge YA fiction that’s out there right now. Here’s what reading current YA tells your students: I’m paying attention to who you are I find value in the things you like I’m interested in knowing more about you I can relate to what’s going on in this book, therefore I can relate to you I respect your opinion I’m willing to spend time on the things you like Ways to incorporate books into your classroom: Have students choose what to read individually and tie it to a classroom project Use it as the carrot in your classroom management system – they can “earn” reading time for Fridays or end of class, and you read aloud from a book you’ve chosen together (you can have them make suggestions, then vote, or YOU give the suggestion) Invite your school librarian what to read. Then, invite her into your class to do a book talk – sharing about the 5-10 newest/best YA books out there Have students recommend a book for YOU to read, then read it, and talk to them about it between classes, during tutorial time, during lunch, advisory/homeroom period etc. If you’re on a team, can use one book across the curriculum and do interdisciplinary projects (even pairing with one other teacher is powerful) Why Read in Your Classroom? Books are also a great way to discuss sticky topics in a neutral way. You can tackle subjects like: Social Media Family Relationships Friendships Addiction Eating Disorders What to Read – or Not If you’re not up for reading the YA greats, you can catch some of them as movies: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before All the Bright Places Locke & Key The Umbrella Academy The Shadowhunters How Do You Find Books to Read? Current YA fiction books are also a great way to connect the world to your own curriculum. You might be thinking, how could I possibly find current YA novels that fit my subject area? What to read? Well, I’m a step ahead, because truthfully, I worried about that too. So, here’s what I did. I scanned some of my favorite lists to see what I could find. Here’s what I came up with. (And don’t worry, I’m sharing links to those lists in my show notes.) SCIENCE Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful. By Arwen Elys Dayton. Six short stories are connected by a world where the possibilities of body and genetic modification become darker and more advanced with each tale. A Conspiracy of Stars. By Olivia A. Cole Octavia dreams of the day she joins her parents as a whitecoat, an elite N’Terra scientist who studies the wondrous natural world of their adopted planet, Faloiv. However, her surprising early internship in the secret labs reveals some scientists’ experiments have sinister motives threatening their tenuous peace with the Faloii. MATH Scythe by Neal Shusterman In a perfect world with no hunger, no disease, no war, and no death, scythes are the only ones who can end life—and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control. Cita and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe—a role that neither wants. These teens must master the "art" of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own. Call It What You Want by Brigid Kemmerer. Rob and Maegan connect romantically after peeling back the layers of hurt they and their families have experienced. Rob’s dad embezzled money and is now incapacitated after a failed suicide attempt, while Maegan’s label as a cheater leaves her ostracized. Paired on a calculus project, they bond through shared struggles. SOCIAL STUDIES Internment by Samira Ahmed. In America’s not-so-distant future, Muslim citizens are forced into internment camps, including 17-year-old Layla and her parents. Once there, Layla, with the help of fellow internees and an unlikely alliance with a guard, leads a resistance movement inside the camp. The House of One Thousand Eyes by Michelle Barker When Lena’s subversive uncle disappears without a trace in Communist East Berlin, she risks everything to find out what happened to him in this immersive historical mystery. Rife with well-crafted suspense and chilling period detail, this thrilling story will appeal to fans of dystopias and historical fiction alike. ELA We Set the Dark on Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia. After Dani’s graduation from the Medio School for Girls, where she trained to become a politician’s wife, a stranger opens her eyes to the privilege, oppressiveness, and excess of the ruling class, and she must decide whether to live forever in a gilded cage or take a stand. FOREIGN LANGUAGES Almost American Girl by Robin Ha Born in Korea to a single mother, Chuna Ha aged fourteen is suddenly wrenched from her happy existence in Seoul. Her mother has decided without any warning to uproot both their lives and start over in America. They land in Huntsville, Alabama where Chuna finds she has a new step family, a new school, and absolutely no friends. She picks a new name for herself, Robin, and struggles to fit in. Her command of the English language is poor, she’s bullied at school, and her step family is not too happy to have her. Then one day Robin’s mother enrolls her in a local comic drawing class, which opens the window to a future Robin could never have imagined. MUSIC Spin by Lamar Giles. After aspiring DJ Paris Secord is found murdered, two of her estranged friends, Fuse and Kya, must work together to figure out who killed Paris before her underground fandom, Dark Nation, ends them. THEATER Dramarama by E. Lockhart Sarah, a.k.a. Sadye, and Demi know they are meant for lights brighter than their tiny Ohio town. When they make it to a musical theater and performing camp called Wildewood, Sadye has a rude awakening about where her talents lie. Although Sadye is obviously talented and hardworking, the camp is full of talented, hardworking, hungry young actors. Even with all of the jealousy and bad feelings, Sadye and her friends still find the time for joy. With Demi flying high, Sadye has to recognize her own shortcomings and understand what it means to work in an ensemble. ART What I Want You to See by Catherine Linka Winning a scholarship to California’s most prestigious art school seems like a fairy tale to Sabine Reye’s, but the cutthroat world of visual arts is nothing like what she’d imagined. The teacher she hoped would be her mentor seems to take merciless delight in tearing down her best work-and warns her that she’ll lose the merit-based award if she doesn’t improve. Desperate, Sabine must decide how – and if – she can win her teacher’s approval. But what should she do when she accidentally becomes party to a crime so well-plotted that no one knows about it but her? Building a Unique Connection Engaging in conversations about the books your students are already reading brings a fresh dynamic to your classroom and builds connection in a unique way. If you’re a beginning middle school teacher who is looking for strategies to help you streamline your classroom and have a deeper impact on your students, and you’d like support of a community who has those same goals and values, make sure you tune in over the next couple of weeks – I’m about to roll out an amazing opportunity. So, stay tuned, and make sure you’re keeping up with me on FaceBook and Instagram! For links to the resources mentioned in this episode, check out the show notes.
In 1917, a brilliant British officer developed a way to use an emerging military technology: the tank. The British army promptly squandered the idea – but the Germans did not. Blitzkrieg, the devastating advance of German tanks across Europe in 1940, was invented by the British. This is a common story: Sony invented the forerunner of the iPod, Xerox the personal computer, and Kodak the digital camera. In each case they failed to capitalize on the idea. Why?
