Our world is full of cultural rituals, ranging from ancient spiritual rites passed down over generations, to 'coming of age' practices still observed today. On the latest episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat light the ceremonial torch as they highlight some of the most interesting ritualistic practices history has to offer, from ancient cultic religions dating back to the precipice of humanity, to those celebrated regularly even today. The guys also hit on their usual dose of news stories, discuss future ambitions, and, as always, dive into commentary you won't find anywhere else. What does it take to become a 'man' in Ethiopia? Does Japan's national sport harbor the last vestige of an ancient religion? Is Papua New Guinea home to rituals that defy imagination? Why do raccoons always find themselves in drunken news headlines? For answers to these questions and way too many more, please give the latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning a listen!

Wooden teeth? No. Cherry tree? Probably not. Absolute unit of a leader? Undeniably. Ben Thompson welcomes EpicLLOYD from Epic Rap Battles of History for a Presidents' Day breakdown George Washington — the six-foot-two surveyor who became the most dangerous man in the British Empire. Outnumbered. Undersupplied. Outgunned. Washington lost more battles than he won, but he never lost the war. From the frozen gamble at Trenton to resigning his commission when he didn't have to, he pulled off something rarer than victory: he gave power back. If monarchy was the expectation, Washington was the plot twist.

Paul Comstock is a legendary bowyer who began carving more than 40 years ago. Along with coauthors of The Traditional Bowyer's Bible, he helped spark a resurgence in primitive archery and bow making. Prior to contributing to all 4 volumes of the Bowyer's Bible, Paul wrote the popular book The Bent Stick. He has served as a mentor and role model for many of today's most respected bowyers, and he continues to carve bows from his home in Ohio.

John Wooden considered enthusiasm a foundational, contagious passion that transforms hard work into exceptional performance. As a cornerstone of his Pyramid of Success, it fuels enjoyment in daily efforts, preventing tedium. He believed genuine love for the task inspires others and is necessary to reach one's full potential. 

With all levels of your co-workers. Listen if you want to be heard. Be interested in finding the best way, not in having your own way.

John Wooden wasn't just a winning coach — he was a builder of men.He led UCLA to 10 national championships, including 7 straight, an 88-game winning streak, and 4 perfect seasons. His teams played with such discipline that no player ever fouled out, and he remains the only person inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach.But Wooden measured success differently — not by banners, but by effort, character, and faithfulness. He obsessed over fundamentals, taught excellence in the smallest details, and believed true success was doing your best to become who you're capable of becoming.This episode dives into the principles behind the dominance — and why Wooden's standard still matters far beyond the court.

A "What is your Legacy" "Saving your Memories" "The Value of Things" all are triggered by a YouTube video that focused a discussion on "Advertising" Wooden Nickels.  A historian of the Near South Side of Chicago ran across a wooden nickel that belonged to our Grandfather Victor Torsberg.  What follows is a story of memories, family heirlooms, inspiration, conversations and so much more.  We even discuss if today's generation places any value on "things" that we have.  Treasured momentos and rememberances.  Thanks to @onesixfive (real identity unknown) for posting about the Magic of Victor Torsberg.

John Wooden defined loyalty as a core, central element of his Pyramid of Success, emphasizing it as a "cohesive force that forges individuals into a team". It consists of three key components: loyalty to oneself (acting on personal values), loyalty to those depending on you, and maintaining self-respect. It requires unwavering commitment, especially during tough times. 

Friendship, according to Coach Wooden, is the cornerstone upon which all success is built. It's about building strong, positive relationships with others.

John Wooden defined Industriousness as one of the foundational cornerstones of his Pyramid of Success, emphasizing that "there is no substitute for work". It represents, in his view, consistent, hard work combined with careful planning to achieve worthwhile results.

John Wooden's principle of Intentness is defined as the ability to resist temptation, stay focused on your goals, and be determined and persistent to achieve them, even when facing setbacks, making it a crucial part of his Pyramid of Success. It's about unwavering focus, continuous effort, and refusing to quit, viewing obstacles as setups for comebacks, embodying "patience with action". 

John Wooden viewed initiative as the crucial ability to make decisions and act, even without being told, emphasizing that inaction is the greatest failure, requiring courage to try, fail, learn, and try again, all while building on solid preparation and teamwork.

Episode Description / Show Notes:In this episode of Never Mind the Dambusters, host Jane Gulliford Lowes is joined by John Lilley from the People's Mosquito Project to explore the extraordinary story of one of the Second World War's most innovative and versatile aircraft: the de Havilland Mosquito.Often described as “the wooden wonder,” the Mosquito defied conventional thinking with its largely wooden construction, exceptional speed, and remarkable adaptability. From precision bombing and Pathfinder duties to reconnaissance and special operations, the Mosquito played a unique and vital role within RAF Bomber Command — and far beyond it.John discusses the origins and development of the Mosquito, its operational use during the bombing campaign, and the experiences of the crews who flew this fast, agile, and demanding aircraft. We also explore some of the Mosquito's most famous raids, the aircraft's place in popular memory, and why it continues to capture the imagination more than 80 years on.The conversation then turns to the People's Mosquito Project, an ambitious and inspiring effort to restore a Mosquito to flying condition in the UK. John explains how the project began, the challenges of restoring such a unique aircraft, and how listeners can support or get involved.This episode offers both historical insight and a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving aviation heritage for future generations.Topics Covered:The development and design of the de Havilland MosquitoWhy wooden construction was both radical and effectiveThe Mosquito's role within RAF Bomber CommandPrecision raids and notable Mosquito operationsLife as a Mosquito aircrew memberThe aircraft's legacy and place in popular memoryInside the People's Mosquito ProjectRestoring a Mosquito to flight in the 21st centuryGuest:John LilleyChairman, The People's Mosquito ProjectLinks & Further Reading:The People's Mosquito Project: https://www.peoplesmosquito.org.uk/Support the showPlease subscribe to Never Mind The Dambusters wherever you get your podcasts.

John Wooden's concept of Alertness within his Pyramid of Success emphasizes being constantly observant, open-minded, and eager to learn and improve from everything and everyone, avoiding tunnel vision and self-absorption to find opportunities for growth, even from mistakes

John Wooden viewed self-control as fundamental, emphasizing discipline, emotional mastery, and focusing on what you can control, rather than reacting to external events, to achieve success and maintain peak performance, famously stating, "Discipline yourself and others won't need to" and that losing it causes everything to "fall."

"This block of the Pyramid addresses a most important characteristic: selflessness which is the opposite of selfishness. I mean by this that you are eager to sacrifice personal glory or gain for the greater good, namely, the welfare and success of your organization, your team, your group. This is a player who would make our team 'great' rather than a someone who was just a 'great player'."

In John Wooden's Pyramid of Success, Skill is a crucial level 4 block, defined as the knowledge and ability to execute fundamentals correctly and quickly, requiring preparation and attention to detail to master techniques, ultimately supporting the top blocks of Poise and Confidence for achieving Competitive Greatness. 

President Kathleen Wooden Knife of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe delivers the State of the Tribes address on January 14, 2026. Wooden Knife delivered the speech at the South Dakota State Legislature in Pierre, South Dakota.

In John Wooden's Pyramid of Success, Condition is a crucial building block in the pyramid's center, alongside Skill and Team Spirit, emphasizing that true success requires holistic fitness: mental, moral, and physical. It's about being prepared and resilient, working through challenges to build inner strength, making the right choices daily, and aligning mind, body, and character to function at your best.

John Wooden viewed confidence as "respect without fear" built primarily through thorough preparation, self-discipline, and focusing on the process, not just results, enabling poise and the right to be proud. He stressed that you can't expect others to trust you if you don't trust your own preparation, and that true confidence comes from knowing what you are capable of. Wooden's "Pyramid of Success" highlights confidence as a key trait, achieved by mastering fundamentals and consistently doing your best. 

Wooden on Poise: Just be yourself. Being at ease in any situation.  Never fight yourself.

(1:00) It must have been frustrating for these elite athletes, who wanted to get on the court and show what they could do, to arrive at practice for the first time with this legendary coach only to hear him say, Today we will learn to tie our shoes. The point Wooden was making was that creating effective habits, down to the smallest detail, is what makes the difference between winning and losing games. Each habit might seem small, but added together, they have an exponential effect on performance. Just one habit, at the top of any field, can be enough to give an edge over the competition. (8:41) Faith allows you to trust the direction without needing to understand it. (10:16) If you make the choice of reading classic literature every day for a year, rather than reading the news, by the end of that time period you'll have a more honed sensitivity for recognizing greatness from the books than from the media. This applies to every choice we make. The friends we choose, the conversations we have, even the thoughts we reflect on. All of these aspects affect our ability to distinguish good from very good, very good from great. They help us determine what's worthy of our time and attention. Because there's an endless amount of data available to us and we have a limited bandwidth to conserve, we might consider carefully curating the quality of what we allow in. (14:25) We're affected by our surroundings, and finding the best environment to create a clear channel is personal and to be tested. (27:57) Rules direct us to average behaviors. If we're aiming to create works that are exceptional, most rules don't apply. Average is nothing to aspire to. The goal is not to fit in. Communicate your singular perspective. (28:30) It's a healthy practice to approach our work with as few accepted rules, starting points, and limitations as possible. Often the standards in our chosen medium are so ubiquitous, we take them for granted. They are invisible and unquestioned. (29:00) The world isn't waiting for more of the same. Often, the most innovative ideas come from those who master the rules to such a degree that they can see past them or from those who never learned them at all. (38:50) Fear of criticism. Attachment to a commercial result. Competing with past work. Time and resource constraints. The aspiration of wanting to change the world. And any story beyond “I want to make the best thing I can make, whatever it is” are all undermining forces in the quest for greatness. (42:32) To hone your craft is to honor creation. By practicing to improve, you are fulfilling your ultimate purpose on this planet.

Competitive Greatness. Be at your best when your best is needed. Love the battle.”

It’s Time to Redefine Success for You and Your People In the high-stakes game of business, we are often obsessed with the scoreboard—profit margins, market share, and rankings. But the greatest mentor of all time, Coach John Wooden, taught us that true success isn't merely about winning; it is about the peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you are capable. Too many leaders today are burning out chasing the “win” while losing the heart of their team. It is time to redefine what it means to lead. This week on A New Direction, I am sitting down with the man recognized as “America's Breakthrough Coach,” Brian Biro. We are discussing his book, Beyond Success, and the profound lessons he learned directly from his mentor, John Wooden. Brian doesn’t just theorize about culture; he shows you how to build it. We are going to explore how to apply Wooden's timeless principles to the modern workplace, shifting your team from a group of employees to a collective of high-performers who genuinely care about the mission and each other. This conversation is vital for every leader, entrepreneur, and coach who wants to build a legacy that lasts. We will dive into how to foster a spirit of “industriousness and enthusiasm” in your organization and how to break through the fear that stifles innovation. Brian is going to share the secrets of how to lead with love and discipline simultaneously, creating an environment where success is the natural by-product of character. This is about taking your business from transactional to transformational. This is your opportunity to learn the blueprint for greatness from a man who learned from the master himself. Bring your notebook and your team—this is the kind of wisdom that changes trajectories. If you cannot join the livestream, make sure to subscribe and download the podcast later. Don't settle for being a boss; tune in and learn how to become a leader who goes beyond success. Brian Biro‘s book, “Beyond Success: – The 15 Secrets to Effective Leadership and Life Based on Legendary Coach John Wooden’s Pyramid of Success” is a timeless and outstanding read!  The stories and practical applications are just as relevant today as they were when John Wooden coached his last year in the mid-seventies. In today’s world we are so focused on the results we are employing strategies at the sacrifice of human fundamentals that either burn our people out or burn us out.  Let’s be honest all business is about people. Not just the people we sell to, but the people who do the selling, who handle the paperwork, who mop the floor.  All of business is people, and if we are not handling our people well.  We have already lost. The fact is all success is going to start with the number one person we need to develop first. And that is us.  Sadly, in today’s world we are so concerned with our reputation and what other’s think we are less focused on developing our character.  But it is from our character that will drive our enthusiasm, beliefs, and vision.  Without fully developed character or vision is nothing more than words on the wall.  Empty and meaningless. Beyond Success is truly a refreshing read, that gets grounded into the basics of who we are, getting the most out of the people around us, and building the right blocks so that what naturally flows is competitive greatness.

After building an audience of 60,000 subscribers and receiving over 500 handwritten letters from people whose lives were transformed, Cliff realized his real calling wasn't selling insurance or being a pastor. It was teaching people how to use their voice to create content that matters. He's since helped over 40,000 people launch podcasts, but discovered something critical: nine out of ten failed because they skipped the first seven steps of building an online business. Step eight? Create content and build your audience. Everything else comes first. Cliff reveals the four-step formula that led to a $3 million relationship: believe it's possible, write it down, tell others, and work the plan as it becomes available. He also shares why his first year as a full-time entrepreneur, working 14-hour days seven days a week for $11,000, ended with a 24-hour podcast marathon and two weeks in the hospital where he almost died.   [00:05:00] Helping 40,000 People Launch Podcasts Left very lucrative career in family insurance agency started by grandfather in 1937 Went out to teach people how to launch podcasts Helped more than 40,000 people in the world launch a podcast Published over 4,800 podcast episodes across 55+ shows in 20 years [00:11:20] The First Year That Almost Killed Him First year full-time: 12-14 hours a day, seven days a week, not one day off first nine months Didn't receive single personal paycheck, just earned enough to pay business expenses End of year brought home $11,000 net personal income after taxes Celebrated with 24-hour podcast marathon, ended with two weeks in hospital [00:13:20] Why Nine Out of Ten Podcasters Fail In 2012, more than 50 of top 100 business podcasts were Cliff's clients But nine out of ten failed to ever see sustainable profit or any income Created 11-step framework for building online business Step number eight: create content and build audience (first seven steps were missed) [00:14:40] The Workshop That Changed Everything In 2017 stopped teaching podcasting, started coaching through what people missed One person earned no income before workshop, within two weeks secured $5,000/month recurring Coaches charging $50/hour walked out charging $300/hour "This is what fires me up" [00:16:40] Choose an Audience With Money Most people fail to choose audience that has money Ideal customer must have money, be aware of problem, willing to pay to solve it "I've got entire audience of tens of thousands and none of them have any money" Must validate they will pay before you create website, logo, podcast content [00:20:00] The Two Conditions At 18, convinced life would be devoted to ministry with servant's heart Parents asked him to work in insurance office because of computer skills Told parents: "You will never expect me to get insurance license" "If I'm offered opportunity to pastor church, I must get your full blessing to leave" [00:24:20] Top 10 Out of 14,000 Insurance Agents Year 2000, top 10 out of 14,000 agents with Grange Life Insurance Top 50 out of 48,000 agents with Auto Owners Life Insurance Sold 30-100 policies per month selling term life insurance All while competing against people selling permanent life (much higher premiums) [00:25:40] The Lost Podcast Changed Everything 2005, started podcasting as hobby about TV show Lost By third episode had 27,000 subscribers around the world Audience grew to over 60,000 subscribers Wooden inbox with over 500 handwritten letters: "Because of something you said, my life will never be the same" [00:28:00] Reaching Hundreds of Thousands Within 18 months reaching hundreds of thousands through seven different podcasts Producing seven to fifteen podcast episodes per week People's lives being transformed "I wonder what life would be like if I could do this for a living" [00:30:40] Testing the Four Step Formula Heard four-step formula: believe it's possible, write it down, tell others, work the plan Decided to test it with specific goal: meet Dan Miller and Leo LaPorte Didn't want to just meet at conference and be forgotten Wanted to tell them their influence and have them not forget meeting him [00:32:40] Forty Minutes After Hitting Publish Recorded podcast episode explaining formula and his goal Hit publish, 40 minutes later got email from Andy Troub (the connector) "I happen to be working on a project with Dan Miller. He's already aware of who you are" "Would you like me to introduce you?" [00:34:00] From Hero to Consulting Client One week later, Dan Miller was guest on Cliff's podcast After the interview, Dan asked "Can I schedule a consulting call with you?" Cliff told Dan audio quality was terrible, people can't make themselves listen Dan: "I really appreciate how honest you are. What do you recommend?" [00:35:00] The Weekend in Franklin, Tennessee Dan said order duplicate of everything in studio, ship to house "Come spend weekend with me, stay in guest room, help me build podcast studio" Dan started telling massive audience about Cliff Ravenscraft Cliff was booked solid for years because of that relationship [00:36:00] The Michael Hyatt Introduction Dan told Michael Hyatt (CEO Thomas Nelson Publishing) podcast was #1 marketing tool Dan did email introduction to Michael Hyatt Within a week, Cliff was in Franklin staying in Michael's guest room Setting up Michael's podcast studio [00:37:40] $3 Million in Revenue Between Dan Miller and Michael Hyatt relationships alone Can trace at least $3 million in revenue to those two Also met Leo LaPorte, both goals from four-step formula checked off Tested formula over and over, it worked every time [00:40:20] The 10-Step Formula Over time developed 10-step formula (includes four steps plus six others) Six other steps where you don't have to wait for plan to become available Ask series of questions that will give you next step Email cliff@cliffravenscraft.com with subject "10 step formula" for free video   KEY QUOTES  "I've got an entire audience of tens of thousands of people and none of them have any money, and none of them will buy any of my products and services. This is why you're creating content year after year with no real income." - Cliff Ravenscraft "Forty minutes after I published that episode, I got an email from Andy Troub saying Dan Miller is already aware of who you are, he's been having trouble with his podcast, would you like me to introduce you?" - Cliff Ravenscraft CONNECT WITH CLIFF RAVENSCRAFT 

In this episode of Guy Shrink, host Bill welcomes guest David Bench to reflect on a remarkable adventure from nearly 20 years ago. As college seniors in 2006-2007, David and his lifelong friend Andrew embarked on a 15-month road trip across the U.S., interviewing 29 legendary college basketball coaches, including Rick Pitino, Thad Matta, Coach K, Rick Barnes, John Beilein, and the iconic John Wooden (at age 96). What began as a spontaneous project evolved into the book Destination Basketball, which captures not just basketball strategies but also profound insights into leadership, character, and personal growth. The conversation highlights timeless lessons from these coaching greats: prioritizing character over talent in recruiting, investing deeply in players as people, the value of being coachable, and turning young athletes into good men. Standout moments include Coach K's generosity, Rick Barnes crediting volunteering for his big break, and Wooden's heartfelt sportsmanship pledge and life creed. Ultimately, David emphasizes how the experience reinforced the power of relationships, friendships, and intentional growth—proving that the real game is about becoming better men, on and off the court.   Connect with the Guy Shrink Podcast across all platforms here: https://linktr.ee/guyshrink 

THE HORROR ON THE GROUND IN TOKYO Colleague James M. Scott. The raid began just after midnight, catching families asleep. The napalm bombs were designed to puncture roofs and spray fire inside homes, turning the wooden city into kindling. The resulting firestorm created a tidal wave of flame that moved across the city, blocked escape routes, and melted the glass of concrete buildings, killing those sheltering inside. Survivors, including a young girl named Shizuko Nishio, fled through an apocalyptic landscape. Photographer Koyo Ishikawa documented the event, describing the fire as a "surf wave" approaching from the ocean. NUMBER 6 1945 OKINAWA

The 54th New York City Marathon is in the books, and what a race it was. Nearly 60,000 runners took to the streets of the Big Apple, and near-perfect weather conditions meant that times were fast and racing was fierce.We got to witness both historically-fast and historically-close races, as three women broke the 22-year-old course record and the men's race was decided by a photo finish, the smallest margin in the race's history. Hellen Obiri is now a two-time champ—winning first in 2023 and again in 2025—and Benson Kipruto claimed his fourth World Marathon Major title by mere inches. For the second time this year, Hellen Obiri and Sharon Lokedi claimed the top two spots on a World Marathon Major podium. In April, Lokedi held off Obiri to claim her first Boston Marathon title as both shattered the course record. Once again, Obiri and Lokedi (plus third-placer Sheila Chepkirui, the 2024 champ) worked together to run the fastest time in New York history. Only this time, Obiri turned the tables on her rival with a blistering final 800 meters and a 2:19:51 victory. For those watching along on the CITIUS MAG YouTube broadcast, Chris Chavez came very close to ending up on “Old Takes Exposed.” With about half a mile to go in the men's race, he called Benson Kipruto as the race winner. Kipruto, the Paris bronze medalist and a three-time World Marathon Major winner, had survived the whittling down of the lead pack over the second half and found himself in the driver's seat in Central Park, putting the hurt on 2024 London champ Alexander Mutiso Munyao. There was only one problem: with 200 meters left in the race, Mutiso found one last gear and began to reel Kipruto back in. Kipruto was focused on navigating the slight uphill finish of New York's and only realized Mutiso was so close in the final steps, turning on one last burst of speed to stay ahead of his challenger. It was a true photo finish, as 0.3 seconds separated the duo and both men were credited with a time of 2:08:09.You can find our full NYC Marathon recap here.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + Preet Majithia | ⁠⁠⁠⁠@preet_athletics on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠Produced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.
