POPULARITY

PRESS REVIEW – Friday, May 16: Romanians head to voting booths for the second round of presidential elections, which pit pro-Europe candidate Nicușor Dan against the populist, hard-right frontrunner George Simion. Who will prevail? Also: The New York Times looks at ground-breaking gene editing therapy which saved the life of an infant and could save many more. It also helps us find out why ginger cats are mostly male (it's a genetic thing). Romanians head to the polls on Sunday for the second round of voting in a presidential election with huge repercussions for Europe, all because of one man: George Simion. The hard-right populist, a Trump-loving candidate, is tipped to be the winner of this closely fought election. He could take Romania in a new direction, away from the traditional pro-Brussels mainstream. Simion is on the cover of Politico magazine this week. Early polls show his centrist rival Nicusor Dan, the mathematician mayor of Bucharest, catching up, but it's too early to tell. Politico's news site explains that it's been an unusual presidential campaign. The election campaign has been fought largely on TV and social media – neither candidate has spent much time campaigning on the ground. Simion hasn't even been in the country and attended only one debate with his rival. Cotidianul, a Romanian daily, references the Politico cover story. It examines the similarities between Italy's Giorgia Meloni, a populist or neo-populist leader, and Simion. The two are most similar in terms of opening up their respective countries to the US. However, the article says that if Simion wins, he will discover, like Meloni, that populism as preached and populism as practiced are two different things – and this could affect his popularity within his own electorate. Romanian business paper Bursa sees Romanians as having a choice between "the plague and cholera". On its front page, it portray the two candidates in futurist outfits. The second round is perceived as a science fiction film, a Romanian-Russian production – in reference to Simion's closeness with the Kremlin.French daily Le Monde, meanwhile, has published a report by two Romanian journalists on a road trip to meet the Romanian diaspora. More than 60 percent of the Romanian diaspora in Europe voted for Simion in the first round of elections. Journalists Elena Stancu and Cosmin Bumbut hit the road in a campervan, travelling around Europe to document the lives of Romanians who have left the country since it joined the EU. It's believed that two to five million Romanians live in Western Europe. Life is not always easy for them: many take precarious jobs in which they are exploited; a common criticism by Simion.In some good news for science, an infant boy born with a rare genetic disorder has been healed in groundbreaking gene-editing treatment. KJ, a nine-month-old boy, was born with a genetic disorder that affects one in 1.3 million babies. His parents had a choice: palliative care or cutting-edge technology. They chose the latter. KJ has become the first patient to receive custom gene-editing treatment. The New York Times explains that his disorder was the result of a single incorrect DNA letter in the human genome. Researchers concocted an infusion, covered in fatty lipid molecules which were sent to the liver. Inside the lipids were instructions to command the cells to produce an enzyme that edits the gene. The revolutionary research was built on decades of federally funded research. The problem with rare disorders is that it's not viable for companies to spend time and money on specific treatments. However, this technology can be customised and forgoes long years of development and testing. It offers hope, notably to many people suffering from rare genetic disorders.Finally: new research in The Times of London has shed light on why 80 percent of ginger cats are male. And it's due to genetics! The ginger colour is caused by a ARHGAP 36 gene within pigment cells. In other mammals like orangutans and humans, the chances of being ginger are pretty much 50-50 because the genetic disruption that leads to the orange colour takes place earlier. In cats, though, it happens on the X chromosome. A male cat (XY), would only need one variant to be ginger whereas the female (XX) chromosome needs two. This explains why most ginger cats are male!

Les chats tricolores, aussi appelés "écaille de tortue" ou "calico", présentent une combinaison de trois couleurs : noir, roux et blanc. Fait fascinant : ces chats sont presque toujours des femelles. Cette particularité n'est pas liée au hasard, mais à la génétique des chromosomes sexuels, et plus précisément au gène de la couleur du pelage porté par le chromosome X.Chez les mammifères, le sexe est déterminé par deux chromosomes : XX pour les femelles, XY pour les mâles. Or, les gènes responsables des couleurs rousse et noire chez le chat sont situés sur le chromosome X. Le blanc, lui, est déterminé par un autre gène, indépendant, qui agit en masquant certaines zones de couleur.Concrètement, une femelle (XX) peut hériter d'un gène roux sur un chromosome X et d'un gène noir sur l'autre X. Mais les cellules d'un organisme femelle ne peuvent pas exprimer les deux chromosomes X en même temps. Un phénomène appelé inactivation du chromosome X, ou "lyonisation", entre alors en jeu : dans chaque cellule, un des deux chromosomes X est désactivé au hasard. Résultat : certaines zones du corps expriment le gène du pelage noir, d'autres celui du pelage roux. C'est ce mélange aléatoire qui produit l'apparence tricolore. Les taches blanches, elles, sont dues à un gène différent qui bloque la pigmentation à certains endroits.Chez les mâles (XY), les choses sont différentes : ils n'ont qu'un seul chromosome X, donc un seul gène de couleur parmi le noir ou le roux. Ils ne peuvent donc pas naturellement avoir les deux couleurs. Voilà pourquoi les mâles sont en général soit entièrement roux, soit entièrement noirs, parfois avec du blanc, mais rarement tricolores.Cependant, il existe une exception génétique rare : le syndrome de Klinefelter, chez les chats mâles porteurs de deux chromosomes X et un Y (XXY). Ce déséquilibre chromosomique leur donne la capacité d'exprimer à la fois les gènes du noir et du roux, avec une inactivation d'un des X comme chez les femelles. Ces mâles peuvent donc être tricolores, mais ils sont stériles dans l'immense majorité des cas, car ce syndrome perturbe fortement la fonction reproductrice.Ainsi, le mystère du chat tricolore repose sur un phénomène génétique complexe mêlant chromosomes sexuels, inactivation aléatoire de l'ADN, et mutation rare chez les mâles. Une simple promenade dans la rue peut donc croiser une merveille de génétique en train de faire sa sieste au soleil. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
Kennst du diesen Gedanken: „Wenn ich erst XY geschafft habe, dann kann ich endlich…“?Genau darüber spreche ich in dieser Folge. Ich erzähle dir, warum mich dieses Denken in den letzten Monaten viel Energie gekostet hat, wie ich gemerkt habe, dass ich mich selbst damit blockiere – und was ich konkret verändert habe, um wieder in meine Kraft zu kommen. Vielleicht erkennst du dich in meinen Beispielen wieder und bekommst neue Impulse für deinen Alltag.Deine StephZu Re:Start Your Year: https://steph-reinhardt.de/restart-your-year/Mehr von mir:Instagram: @queen.of.routineWebsite: https://steph-reinhardt.deproduziert von podcastly
In this episode of Humane Marketing podcast, I'm joined by Polly Hearsey for a deep and refreshing conversation about radically reinventing business. Together, we explore how heart-centered entrepreneurs can move beyond fear-based tactics, align with natural rhythms, simplify offerings, and build businesses rooted in service, integrity, and community. If you're ready to treat your business as a living, evolving ecosystem—and break free from outdated rules—you'll find inspiration and real-world guidance here. This is business reimagined for a more humane world. Here's what we discussed in this episode: Buyers are more skeptical and seek authenticity over hype. Clients sense the true intent behind messaging; fear- or scarcity-based offers don't resonate. Aligning business with natural and seasonal rhythms creates a more sustainable presence. Flexibility is key-evolve offerings in real time based on current needs. Simplifying offerings-less but deeper-better meets people's needs. Treat business as a living, evolving ecosystem rather than a machine to optimize. Root work in service and integrity instead of focusing solely on profit. Shift away from endless growth; redefine success through depth and impact. Build business around community, connection, and co-creation rather than competition. Practice courageous listening to ourselves, clients, and the world-and act on what we hear. And most importantly, break all the rules and question all the assumptions you have around business.

You know, I always enjoy coming to talk to you because it's just it's fun to suggest. Go where we go. It's it's all. 3 00:00:12.700 --> 00:00:13.170 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. 4 00:00:13.170 --> 00:00:13.820 Polly Hearsey: Light. 5 00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:14.600 Polly Hearsey: Thank you. 6 00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:23.210 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah, it's kind of like one of the things that I feel like. That's my zone of genius. And I know it's yours to. 7 00:00:23.330 --> 00:00:46.690 Sarah Santacroce: you know, reimagine, rethink differently. And so really, that's what I want to do today. And I was just telling you, I think we can do half of the episode or the beginning of the episode about today, right now and then look into the future. So so yeah, let's let's start there. You know, it's quite the time we live in. And there's 8 00:00:46.810 --> 00:00:54.670 Sarah Santacroce: there's probably I can sense the fear in entrepreneurship. And yeah, I'm just 9 00:00:55.170 --> 00:01:00.949 Sarah Santacroce: maybe start us off before we go into taking action, start us off with 10 00:01:01.150 --> 00:01:06.680 Sarah Santacroce: explaining what you sense energetically. What is going on. 11 00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:14.060 Polly Hearsey: I think that there's been a big shift in the buyer market 12 00:01:14.500 --> 00:01:22.949 Polly Hearsey: in terms of what they want and what they're expecting, and the way in which they've been burnt in the past. 13 00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:30.500 Polly Hearsey: And there's definitely an ability to read through the hype 14 00:01:30.730 --> 00:01:36.349 Polly Hearsey: right? And the promises. So there's a lot of skepticism, I would say, building. 15 00:01:37.123 --> 00:01:47.610 Polly Hearsey: So. And you see that when people put ads out say on Facebook or something, and you read the comments and the threads, it'll just be. Get the just people be tearing into them because it's not. 16 00:01:47.790 --> 00:01:48.180 Sarah Santacroce: It. 17 00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:48.870 Polly Hearsey: So I'm asking. 18 00:01:48.870 --> 00:01:50.240 Sarah Santacroce: Feel so fake. It's fake. 19 00:01:50.240 --> 00:02:00.419 Polly Hearsey: Feels fake and and the promises feel overhyped. You know, state, and particularly in the space that we're in. 20 00:02:00.690 --> 00:02:05.689 Polly Hearsey: We've got a lot of economic turmoil, and we've got a but 21 00:02:06.060 --> 00:02:11.710 Polly Hearsey: but even before the sort of like the very recent economic turmoil, what we had was 22 00:02:12.470 --> 00:02:18.240 Polly Hearsey: a lot of well established businesses, we're sliding. 23 00:02:18.810 --> 00:02:19.250 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 24 00:02:19.250 --> 00:02:23.800 Polly Hearsey: And they were keeping it under wraps. And I also noticed a lot of people who'd. 25 00:02:24.410 --> 00:02:34.189 Polly Hearsey: Yeah, maybe 6 years ago had been very present, and then they'd slid off my radar. And then all of a sudden, they've started advertising. That tells me that their business is slipping. 26 00:02:34.420 --> 00:02:35.010 Sarah Santacroce: Right. 27 00:02:35.010 --> 00:02:44.320 Polly Hearsey: And that's because the way in which they were approaching it through this sort of psychological, persuasion-based approach. 28 00:02:45.580 --> 00:02:52.540 Polly Hearsey: It's not working, because once you know that it's happening to you. It doesn't work anymore. So people becoming very wise. 29 00:02:52.710 --> 00:02:58.950 Polly Hearsey: And but I also think that people want something different now. They don't want the same old 30 00:02:59.310 --> 00:03:12.899 Polly Hearsey: heavy investments long term, because they don't feel that they have a grasp on where things are going to be in 3 months. So why would I invest in an 8 month, 10 month, 12 month program 31 00:03:13.390 --> 00:03:17.909 Polly Hearsey: to support myself in whatever area I needed 32 00:03:18.130 --> 00:03:27.189 Polly Hearsey: when I don't know where I'm going to be. Am I going to be the same person? Am I going to want to do the same sort of things? Because I think people can feel so much bubbling up within them 33 00:03:27.300 --> 00:03:32.310 Polly Hearsey: that they're not entirely sure how they're going to respond to it. 34 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:33.110 Sarah Santacroce: So. 35 00:03:33.110 --> 00:03:44.109 Polly Hearsey: Big investments don't make an awful lot of sense. And yet some of these very established businesses that's a lot of money to invest with them on something where they're not getting one to one support. 36 00:03:44.110 --> 00:03:46.150 Sarah Santacroce: Right? It's always group, giant group. 37 00:03:46.150 --> 00:04:01.209 Polly Hearsey: Giant groups. And it's like, Oh, the value is in the information. No, the value isn't in the information anymore. We have AI proliferating that can turn information into process, but without any nuanced understanding 38 00:04:01.690 --> 00:04:03.810 Polly Hearsey: of how to deliver it. 39 00:04:03.810 --> 00:04:04.420 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 40 00:04:04.420 --> 00:04:11.400 Polly Hearsey: So what people are now looking for is more human contact. And yet we've built business structures 41 00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:13.109 Polly Hearsey: that remove that. 42 00:04:13.310 --> 00:04:13.920 Sarah Santacroce: Right. 43 00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:23.200 Polly Hearsey: And so all the expectations about how you automate everything and how you run one to many, and all of that is oh. 44 00:04:23.340 --> 00:04:30.899 Polly Hearsey: you know I mean, education hasn't lost its value. But information has, I think. And so so it's changing expectations. So I think 45 00:04:31.070 --> 00:04:45.089 Polly Hearsey: that puts us in a position where we need to be really agile to respond, and creative as well. So we're not just going. Oh, God, I've got to try a little bit harder to make something that's always worked work because it's not going to. 46 00:04:45.090 --> 00:04:49.070 Sarah Santacroce: Right. You can't just push harder and think it's gonna. 47 00:04:49.190 --> 00:04:54.919 Polly Hearsey: You see that with the classic old, give me your email address and I'll give you something of value. 48 00:04:55.090 --> 00:04:57.479 Polly Hearsey: How hard is that to push right now. 49 00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:58.869 Sarah Santacroce: Right? It's yeah. 50 00:04:58.870 --> 00:05:17.000 Polly Hearsey: Do not want yet another, because I don't know about you. My inbox is unmanageable. I spent tail end of last year unsubscribing. I spent a whole day just going unsubscribe, unsubscribe, unsubscribe. Stop sending me so much stuff. I don't read it. I do not have the capacity to read it. 51 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:17.390 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. 52 00:05:17.390 --> 00:05:18.890 Polly Hearsey: But people don't want that. 53 00:05:18.890 --> 00:05:19.420 Sarah Santacroce: No. 54 00:05:19.420 --> 00:05:28.300 Polly Hearsey: And there was an interesting thread on substack. I was reading yesterday where people were saying, what I want is the ability to buy a single article 55 00:05:28.520 --> 00:05:32.530 Polly Hearsey: stop making me subscribe, because there are so many writers here. 56 00:05:32.690 --> 00:05:36.970 Polly Hearsey: but I want to be able to subscribe to pay for one article, awesome and 57 00:05:36.970 --> 00:05:38.760 Polly Hearsey: interesting reflection of where we're at. 58 00:05:38.760 --> 00:05:58.989 Sarah Santacroce: That's kind of what I took away from your newsletter the other day where I was like, oh, I got to have you back on the podcast where you talked about bite. Sized. Right? Yeah. Like, people want small bits, and they want to yes experience. Your work before engaging in any length of program. 59 00:05:59.130 --> 00:06:26.720 Sarah Santacroce: And and yeah, like, I, just, I'm experimenting this year with instead of a 3 month program. I'm running the marketing like we're human in a 5 week program, and I already see the difference, like people who've gone through it in January. They tell me it was so much easier to decide, because it's 5 weeks, and I can. I can handle that like you said I don't know. 3 months, I'm you know, all over the place in 3 months, and so. 60 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:27.140 Polly Hearsey: Yeah. 61 00:06:27.140 --> 00:06:30.469 Sarah Santacroce: Weeks. Yes, just sound easier. And I think. 62 00:06:30.470 --> 00:06:37.489 Polly Hearsey: People wanted to know what they're going to do with that, you know, and 3 months down the line it feels like a very long time. 63 00:06:37.490 --> 00:06:37.900 Sarah Santacroce: Right. 64 00:06:37.900 --> 00:06:50.989 Polly Hearsey: Not, but it feels like a very long time, whereas 5 weeks it doesn't. And I, I ran a couple of 3 week programs this year, and that was much easier for people, although it wasn't easier for me. 65 00:06:51.210 --> 00:06:55.530 Polly Hearsey: actually, because I and I know how much I 66 00:06:55.750 --> 00:06:58.989 Polly Hearsey: want people to understand in order to be able to action it. 67 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:00.619 Sarah Santacroce: That's the thing right? 68 00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:04.469 Polly Hearsey: They had a little bit of a sort of like shockwave. 69 00:07:05.260 --> 00:07:21.509 Polly Hearsey: So I got so I just said to them at the end of it instead, I wasn't going to do a pitch at the end of it. I just said, Look, take your time, process it. Expect to go, you know. Come out of this high and come down through this processing, and then you come out the other side of it. Just be gentle with yourself. 70 00:07:21.510 --> 00:07:22.020 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 71 00:07:22.020 --> 00:07:28.049 Polly Hearsey: But I have, you know, for me it's like I I couldn't in all integrity 72 00:07:28.370 --> 00:07:32.240 Polly Hearsey: offer you something that didn't cover all of the bases. 73 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:32.930 Sarah Santacroce: Right. 74 00:07:32.930 --> 00:07:43.810 Polly Hearsey: Even on, you know, I've scaled it back to just one focus. But I still, you know, I need to give you the information, because if you don't have that, then you've got missing pieces of the puzzle, and you're not gonna do anything with it. So. 75 00:07:43.810 --> 00:07:44.240 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. 76 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:54.380 Polly Hearsey: There there is for us when we're actually designing stuff. There is a bit of a balancing act to go on there, because we we know what we need to do in order to be in integrity with our own values. 77 00:07:54.750 --> 00:07:56.010 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah, exactly. 78 00:07:56.010 --> 00:07:59.260 Polly Hearsey: Equally responding to that changing need of. 79 00:07:59.880 --> 00:08:06.060 Polly Hearsey: I need something a little more immediate. I need something very specific. No, I mean. 80 00:08:06.530 --> 00:08:07.360 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. 81 00:08:07.490 --> 00:08:18.009 Sarah Santacroce: yeah, what I did also because of the integrity piece. I I well, I've always had that. But I just have a flat fee where people can come again. 82 00:08:18.170 --> 00:08:38.470 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah, next round and and often. That's a very much appreciated gesture, because it doesn't mean Oh, you failed, and you didn't, you know, integrate it? But it just gives them more time. And that's often the thing that we don't have in these programs is like, Oh, 5 weeks so much content. 83 00:08:38.470 --> 00:08:55.560 Sarah Santacroce: And then you're like, Oh, exhausted after. So yeah, having this flat fee for past participants has really yeah helped people. I think, also just giving them permission, giving themselves permission. Yeah, I'm going to do this again. And this is this, is that deep. 84 00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:59.670 Polly Hearsey: Yeah. And it's okay. Because every time it's like, when you read a book. 85 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:20.329 Polly Hearsey: when you read it the 1st time you have, you have particular paragraphs that jump out at you, and then you'll read it again. You think I'm really waiting for that moment, and it doesn't come, but it comes somewhere else, because you're just integrating and processing something else and understanding it. And if I think about my own journey through business because it's what it was 11 years now since 86 00:09:20.846 --> 00:09:22.190 Polly Hearsey: I started my business. 87 00:09:22.490 --> 00:09:25.110 Polly Hearsey: I don't recognize the person I was back then. 88 00:09:25.750 --> 00:09:29.929 Polly Hearsey: but if I go back to what I was talking about. I was talking about the same things. 89 00:09:29.930 --> 00:09:30.820 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. 90 00:09:30.820 --> 00:09:36.080 Polly Hearsey: But my understanding of what I was talking about was very different. 91 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:36.510 Sarah Santacroce: And. 92 00:09:36.510 --> 00:09:46.199 Polly Hearsey: And I knew that I had. In fact, I have a client who's worked with me over a number of years, say to me, and she'd had a break, and she came back and she said, the last program I ran, she said. 93 00:09:47.070 --> 00:09:50.520 Polly Hearsey: you've it's so much more coherent what you offer now. 94 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:59.299 Polly Hearsey: Yeah, I mean, it feels that way. But it takes time to get there. It's like slow version of slow food version of business, you know. 95 00:09:59.660 --> 00:10:00.380 Polly Hearsey: next time 96 00:10:00.380 --> 00:10:11.299 Polly Hearsey: to build the flavors and to understand the process, and and to really sort of settle yourself into it. And I think that's what we're missing. I think it's also a hint of where we're going. 97 00:10:12.090 --> 00:10:13.589 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah, we'll get to that. 98 00:10:14.590 --> 00:10:16.540 Sarah Santacroce: But maybe 99 00:10:16.850 --> 00:10:25.899 Sarah Santacroce: so you're you're seeing these sub stack threads. And you know, listening to clients what they tell you, what do you feel like? Is is 100 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:37.190 Sarah Santacroce: well, their biggest fear right now. But also, what kind of mistakes are they making because they're in fear? So what kind of business mistakes are they making. 101 00:10:37.190 --> 00:10:44.929 Polly Hearsey: I think one of the biggest mistakes that people are making are trying to persist in being places and doing things that they aren't right for them. 102 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:45.960 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 103 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:51.359 Polly Hearsey: And I said at the end of last year that I think social media will really. 104 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:51.740 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 105 00:10:51.740 --> 00:10:53.939 Polly Hearsey: Have a massive shake up this year. 106 00:10:53.940 --> 00:10:54.770 Sarah Santacroce: Right. 107 00:10:55.410 --> 00:11:04.719 Polly Hearsey: And I do think that you know that sort of like the pressure to be on social media, to be on Tiktok, to be on Instagram to, you know, to have this visual presence. 108 00:11:05.410 --> 00:11:09.939 Polly Hearsey: People are realizing that it's not actually doing them any favors. 109 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:11.050 Sarah Santacroce: Right. 110 00:11:11.050 --> 00:11:19.060 Polly Hearsey: And where everybody's consciousness is at, it's about depth and precision. 111 00:11:20.004 --> 00:11:23.810 Polly Hearsey: The the wonderful Jess Lorimer says. 112 00:11:24.277 --> 00:11:31.489 Polly Hearsey: An inch wide a mile deep. That's and that's where we're at, not not a mile wide and an inch deep, which is where we've been. 113 00:11:31.490 --> 00:11:33.560 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah, all the time. Right? 114 00:11:33.560 --> 00:11:34.690 Polly Hearsey: That depth. 115 00:11:35.010 --> 00:11:43.279 Polly Hearsey: So it's about having deeper conversations, about deeper connection, and that is so hard to achieve in sound bites. 116 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:44.210 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. 117 00:11:44.420 --> 00:11:45.220 Polly Hearsey: So when I say. 118 00:11:45.220 --> 00:11:46.089 Sarah Santacroce: Think of bias. We're. 119 00:11:46.090 --> 00:11:47.720 Polly Hearsey: And it's big of the sound bites. 120 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:55.709 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah, we're wanting bite, sized things that we're offering. And yet we want to go deep. 121 00:11:55.710 --> 00:12:04.489 Polly Hearsey: I think the thing is, it's about what is there within you that is going to stop someone in their tracks and make them think. 122 00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:05.650 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 123 00:12:05.650 --> 00:12:15.369 Polly Hearsey: What is something that's really going to land? I was saying something this week in a group that I'm in, I saying there is a difference between visibility and having your content received. 124 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:30.560 Polly Hearsey: You can be visible. You can be visible to millions of people. But that doesn't mean that content has achieved anything. And I think we have such a moral obligation to make sure that the content that we put out there actually has a meaning 125 00:12:30.830 --> 00:12:36.329 Polly Hearsey: and a value to somebody because it has a cost attached to it. 126 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:38.500 Polly Hearsey: It has a cost to our planet. 127 00:12:38.790 --> 00:12:39.560 Sarah Santacroce: Right. 128 00:12:39.560 --> 00:12:49.820 Polly Hearsey: And it's a permanent escalating cost, because it goes into data banks that have to be sustained with electricity and water and land. That 129 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:51.670 Polly Hearsey: so, you know. 130 00:12:52.590 --> 00:13:02.750 Polly Hearsey: for me, it's there's a huge amount of integrity about saying, not putting out this very shallow content just because it gets abuse. It's about depth. 131 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:09.610 Polly Hearsey: It's me that is the mistake that people are making, because they're still trying to use the old methods. 132 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:19.610 Polly Hearsey: So my conversation has always has been this year about, flip it, flip the script because you need to be thinking about. What can I do to create 133 00:13:20.040 --> 00:13:26.620 Polly Hearsey: the means for people to engage with me in a way that is actually meaningful for me and for my business. 134 00:13:26.620 --> 00:13:27.010 Sarah Santacroce: I'm. 135 00:13:27.010 --> 00:13:29.770 Polly Hearsey: Full for the people I support. 136 00:13:30.050 --> 00:13:39.709 Polly Hearsey: Yeah, that resonates in the business. Like, we're human book. I ask people to be assumption busters. 137 00:13:39.780 --> 00:14:05.429 Sarah Santacroce: Question all your assumptions that you have about business and social media and marketing, how it should be done, and then do it differently, like. I am so so tired of, you know, going on social media and looking what's out there, and everything is the same. It's like I was trying to break my brain about how to do this book launch, but do it differently. 138 00:14:05.430 --> 00:14:12.980 Sarah Santacroce: and not just follow the same copy and same structure that everybody else is doing. And so I think that's 139 00:14:13.010 --> 00:14:21.660 Sarah Santacroce: yeah. That's part of it. Like, how do we want to do this in a in a more human, engaging way, and not just be about. 140 00:14:22.010 --> 00:14:50.709 Sarah Santacroce: Well, let's just take this example. Not just be about a best selling author on Amazon, or, you know, getting a thousand reviews. What we're really doing is hustling for Bezos, who's taking all the benefit. And and we are just working like slaves to get those reviews. So like, question, all of these things that we have just bought as well. This is just how it is, and this is just how it works. 141 00:14:51.160 --> 00:14:55.430 Polly Hearsey: There is an assumption there, isn't it, that you don't have the power to change that. 142 00:14:55.430 --> 00:14:55.950 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. 143 00:14:55.950 --> 00:15:05.900 Polly Hearsey: And that that's something I say all the time is like, don't underestimate your power. If you think about all of the new trends that happen. Someone started them somewhere. 144 00:15:06.355 --> 00:15:06.810 Sarah Santacroce: Yes. 145 00:15:06.810 --> 00:15:11.759 Polly Hearsey: So are you going to be a sheep, or are you going to be a leader? And that? And 146 00:15:11.890 --> 00:15:19.130 Polly Hearsey: when I talk about leadership, I know people sort of tend to go. It's not me. I'm not a leader because we have some really toxic 147 00:15:19.250 --> 00:15:20.250 Polly Hearsey: role models for. 148 00:15:20.250 --> 00:15:21.380 Sarah Santacroce: Leadership. 149 00:15:21.380 --> 00:15:24.390 Polly Hearsey: But there are different leaders coming. 150 00:15:24.390 --> 00:15:24.860 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 151 00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:28.660 Polly Hearsey: Quiet leaders, people who lead from the middle. And 152 00:15:28.980 --> 00:15:32.650 Polly Hearsey: you can have, you can create different ways of doing it. 153 00:15:33.556 --> 00:15:40.280 Polly Hearsey: And it doesn't have to be this sort of like standard standard approach. 154 00:15:40.390 --> 00:15:50.130 Polly Hearsey: And, in fact, the more subtle you are, the more creative you are, the more you're likely to be received because you're thinking, oh, hang on a second. 155 00:15:50.350 --> 00:15:55.519 Polly Hearsey: I didn't think I was being sold to like that. So I did in the program I did recently. 156 00:15:55.730 --> 00:16:03.689 Polly Hearsey: I set them all a task to produce a piece of content based on sort of understanding the the energetics of their business. 157 00:16:04.460 --> 00:16:08.829 Polly Hearsey: and they they produce the most extraordinary things. 158 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:16.519 Polly Hearsey: And I asked them to share it because I wanted them to see the difference in reaction. 159 00:16:16.690 --> 00:16:20.879 Polly Hearsey: So you might get less of a reaction. But it'll be a deeper reaction. 160 00:16:20.880 --> 00:16:21.310 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 161 00:16:21.310 --> 00:16:30.949 Polly Hearsey: And so they got instant responses from people going. This spoke to me so deeply, and I asked them afterwards, said, Did you feel like you were selling. 162 00:16:31.070 --> 00:16:34.680 Polly Hearsey: and they said no, didn't feel like saying, but you were 163 00:16:35.190 --> 00:16:39.319 Polly Hearsey: still putting it on the table for people and people weren't feeling like they were being sold to. 164 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:40.020 Sarah Santacroce: Right. 165 00:16:40.020 --> 00:16:46.110 Polly Hearsey: That's rebellious. That is the height of rebellion in a world that's all about. You've got to have conversions. 166 00:16:46.110 --> 00:16:50.020 Sarah Santacroce: Right? Yeah. So so do you feel like, that's 167 00:16:51.150 --> 00:16:57.769 Sarah Santacroce: right. Now, it feels like we're the outsiders. Still right? Do you think that's gonna Flip where. 168 00:16:57.770 --> 00:16:59.919 Polly Hearsey: I think it already has. 169 00:16:59.920 --> 00:17:02.010 Sarah Santacroce: It already has. Hmm. 170 00:17:02.010 --> 00:17:13.869 Polly Hearsey: But I don't think that some people are even aware I mean the last people to know that the change has happened to the people at the top. If you sort of mean, I think it has already changed, because 171 00:17:15.270 --> 00:17:29.110 Polly Hearsey: I mean, I just look at what people are talking about and just go. I've been saying that for 10 years. It's like slightly between gritted teeth. Which? But actually going? Well, if if everybody is now openly talking about that. 172 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.509 Polly Hearsey: Then then a change has already happened. 173 00:17:34.540 --> 00:17:35.489 Sarah Santacroce: But I still. 174 00:17:35.490 --> 00:17:38.280 Polly Hearsey: Don't think that people know how to respond to it. 175 00:17:38.280 --> 00:17:42.829 Sarah Santacroce: Okay, yeah. Because what I see is like, when you talk to people 176 00:17:43.180 --> 00:17:46.700 Sarah Santacroce: they are like, yes, agreeing, you know, nodding their heads. 177 00:17:46.890 --> 00:17:49.670 Sarah Santacroce: But then when you see what they're posting. 178 00:17:49.790 --> 00:17:58.500 Sarah Santacroce: they're still adhering to the old rules, maybe because they don't. They don't have the new role models. They don't. 179 00:17:58.500 --> 00:18:14.359 Polly Hearsey: Have the alternative. So that's what that's what you and I are doing. We're providing them with the alternative. So we have to be the walking role models. We have to walk the talk and do it differently. And and that means we also have to be the experimenters. We have to fail a lot. 180 00:18:14.360 --> 00:18:17.720 Sarah Santacroce: Yes. Talk to me about that. Yeah. 181 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:38.330 Polly Hearsey: And so that brings it. That's an interesting one, because it brings a degree of transparency about the fact that not all business efforts are successful. So this whole narrative that we've all come through in the last 4 years of this instant overnight success. Once I found out how to do XY. Or Z, because it was the missing piece. 182 00:18:38.330 --> 00:18:39.560 Sarah Santacroce: A magic pill. 183 00:18:39.560 --> 00:18:44.450 Polly Hearsey: The magic flipping wand and pill. Yes, it's that doesn't exist. 184 00:18:45.110 --> 00:18:49.029 Polly Hearsey: We we demonstrate that that doesn't exist. 185 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.969 Polly Hearsey: and that actually, the real magic comes from 186 00:18:54.130 --> 00:18:56.910 Polly Hearsey: giving yourself permission to be creative. 187 00:18:56.910 --> 00:18:57.585 Sarah Santacroce: Right. 188 00:18:58.260 --> 00:19:10.650 Polly Hearsey: So that that has been challenging sort of like. Oh, right, I have to have a signature program and a signature talk, and I have to have a lead in, and I have to have an automation, and I have to have a welcome. All of these pieces 189 00:19:10.930 --> 00:19:15.639 Polly Hearsey: coming back to being assumption Busters. Why the hell do you actually need them? 190 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:15.970 Sarah Santacroce: Nice. 191 00:19:15.970 --> 00:19:20.860 Polly Hearsey: Seriously. Why do you need them? Do you have to have that? You can have something that is paid? 192 00:19:21.190 --> 00:19:25.380 Polly Hearsey: And here's the interesting thing in terms of the buyer behaviours. 193 00:19:25.580 --> 00:19:32.680 Polly Hearsey: People are more likely to give you $5 $10 for something. 194 00:19:33.270 --> 00:19:37.379 Polly Hearsey: and then do something with it than they are to take a freebie. 195 00:19:37.620 --> 00:19:38.219 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm, 196 00:19:38.820 --> 00:19:41.449 Polly Hearsey: So why do you have to produce any free content. 197 00:19:41.450 --> 00:19:42.260 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm! 198 00:19:42.980 --> 00:20:07.109 Sarah Santacroce: That's interesting. I was just thinking about my workbook that goes together with the with the book, and in the 2 previous books I just had it as a free download, and it felt good until I, you know, started to realize. Well, I want to know who's working on these books, and like, you know, and so I was like, well, I'll just add it as a donation. 199 00:20:07.220 --> 00:20:12.380 Polly Hearsey: So that they can give. You know, however much they want, and. 200 00:20:12.670 --> 00:20:22.449 Sarah Santacroce: And I think that's when money feels good, if it's like, yes, I want to, you know, earn something for that. I've put a lot of effort and hours into it. 201 00:20:22.630 --> 00:20:34.440 Sarah Santacroce: But I understand your situation might be different, and you know, just kind of like putting it out there and explaining. I think a lot of what we're doing is explaining how things are. 202 00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:38.810 Sarah Santacroce: so that there is that transparency because. 203 00:20:38.810 --> 00:20:39.190 Polly Hearsey: Yeah. 204 00:20:39.190 --> 00:20:41.150 Sarah Santacroce: People are. So 205 00:20:42.280 --> 00:21:00.709 Sarah Santacroce: you know, everything was so hidden and and opaque that yeah, it just needs that time now to make everything super clear. And yes, that starts with affiliate links. But it also, you know. We talked about AI in our community. It's like, well. 206 00:21:00.710 --> 00:21:17.480 Sarah Santacroce: say, when you're using AI and make that clear. So yeah, all these different things that we do to help people in that transition so that they can gain trust again because they lost all the trust in any kind of message. 207 00:21:18.020 --> 00:21:25.629 Polly Hearsey: Yeah. But I mean coming back to sort of like, your original point of opening this this bit was, you've got to work with the tools that you've got. 208 00:21:25.630 --> 00:21:26.000 Sarah Santacroce: Right. 209 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:31.049 Polly Hearsey: At your disposal right now, but it doesn't mean you have to work with them in the standard ways. 210 00:21:31.310 --> 00:21:31.730 Sarah Santacroce: Right. 211 00:21:31.730 --> 00:21:39.180 Polly Hearsey: So you can rethink those right now and think well, how can I do it? So you know some of the examples I gave in the Newsletter you referenced were. 212 00:21:39.600 --> 00:21:43.190 Polly Hearsey: why have a free substack? Why not just have a paid one? 213 00:21:43.540 --> 00:21:47.950 Polly Hearsey: You know you can use notes, or whatever to sort of like promote it. 214 00:21:48.060 --> 00:21:53.070 Polly Hearsey: You don't have to have a free one. You don't have to run one-to-one mentoring. 215 00:21:53.480 --> 00:22:11.460 Polly Hearsey: But bear in mind that the market doesn't want large groups. So how do you do that? How do you maximize that you can get really creative with the tools that you have and the technology that you have, but you can use it in a different way. So forget about the algorithms on Facebook 216 00:22:11.760 --> 00:22:24.439 Polly Hearsey: and do what feels good to you because it can guarantee that if you do what feels good to you, people will find it and engage with it, and then you'll actually be part of resetting the algorithm. Then, you know, in the short term. So 217 00:22:24.630 --> 00:22:29.929 Polly Hearsey: it it's think, stop stop thinking that you have to operate within the rules. 218 00:22:31.150 --> 00:22:40.199 Polly Hearsey: And my favorite, my favorite tool for business development is blank sheet of paper. What would you create if you didn't have any rules. 219 00:22:40.620 --> 00:22:44.659 Sarah Santacroce: What feels good, and then you might say, Oh, you know what. 220 00:22:45.810 --> 00:22:49.590 Polly Hearsey: That program was. And I did this myself this year. That program I was thinking of running. 221 00:22:49.890 --> 00:22:51.849 Polly Hearsey: I'm going to do it as pay what you want. 222 00:22:52.090 --> 00:22:52.770 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 223 00:22:52.770 --> 00:22:53.700 Polly Hearsey: Why not? 224 00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:59.559 Sarah Santacroce: I mean, that's something you can do. Do not do that if you are dependent on the income. 225 00:22:59.870 --> 00:23:01.100 Sarah Santacroce: Right? Of course. 226 00:23:01.100 --> 00:23:02.940 Polly Hearsey: You've got the flexibility. 227 00:23:03.090 --> 00:23:08.499 Polly Hearsey: Why not see how it lands? See what people give, and people will give a whole spectrum. 228 00:23:09.210 --> 00:23:19.280 Polly Hearsey: You know, and it depends on whether or not they know you, whether or not they know the value of it. What their financial situation is, it makes it more accessible, and that honesty of accessibility 229 00:23:19.770 --> 00:23:23.759 Polly Hearsey: changes the relationship. So have your blank piece of paper. 230 00:23:23.890 --> 00:23:25.150 Polly Hearsey: Think what what can I do? 231 00:23:25.150 --> 00:23:45.379 Sarah Santacroce: I guess it's not easy, like we've been in entrepreneurship for a while, right? And we know that we are in charge. We make all the decisions in our business. But for new entrepreneurs I can. I can totally understand the overwhelm. It would be much easier to have, you know, a 7 step process on how this works. 232 00:23:45.380 --> 00:23:45.710 Polly Hearsey: I mean. 233 00:23:45.710 --> 00:23:47.460 Sarah Santacroce: That's not the time we're in. 234 00:23:47.660 --> 00:24:04.000 Polly Hearsey: No. And the thing is that there's there's 2 groups of people that I see at the moment. There's the new entrepreneurs who are actually basically in a frozen state, because they know that they don't want to proceed down the normal route, but they don't know what else to do. So they do dabble with it, and it burns them, you know. 235 00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:04.899 Polly Hearsey: it really hurts. Yeah. 236 00:24:04.900 --> 00:24:10.099 Polly Hearsey: Then there's a group of people who've been through that, and they've got an established business, but 237 00:24:10.750 --> 00:24:12.990 Polly Hearsey: that has burnt them out completely. 238 00:24:12.990 --> 00:24:13.410 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. 239 00:24:13.410 --> 00:24:17.300 Polly Hearsey: And they're at the point of hitting hitting the big red button to explode everything. 240 00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:23.480 Polly Hearsey: So yeah, so if you're a new entrepreneur, it's about finding 241 00:24:23.910 --> 00:24:28.899 Polly Hearsey: people who inspire you, and that doesn't have to just be in the business world, you know, if 242 00:24:28.900 --> 00:24:29.490 Polly Hearsey: you know how to. 243 00:24:29.490 --> 00:24:39.129 Polly Hearsey: How do I start my business. How is someone approaching that I've got? A dear friend who has such a gentle approach to her? Instagram? 244 00:24:39.470 --> 00:24:45.450 Polly Hearsey: It's just. It's just so gentle that you wouldn't necessarily know that it was selling. 245 00:24:45.830 --> 00:24:50.090 Polly Hearsey: you know, because she just does it in her own way. 246 00:24:50.770 --> 00:24:52.540 Polly Hearsey: And so I think that's that's 247 00:24:53.740 --> 00:24:56.170 Polly Hearsey: that's the thing is that finding yourself 248 00:24:56.370 --> 00:25:01.550 Polly Hearsey: people who really sort of like just make you. That's a beautiful way to share something. 249 00:25:01.980 --> 00:25:19.189 Polly Hearsey: There's a photographer. I'm so glad that her stuff comes. I like it every day, so that makes sure that I see it on my feed every day. She's just on an Anti AI cruise and photography crusade. Sorry. And so she shares a photo that she's taken every single day, and it's just like. 250 00:25:19.760 --> 00:25:26.370 Polly Hearsey: Oh, my God! She never mentions that you can go and buy this photos from her or anything. It's just. It's so gentle and it's so inspiring 251 00:25:27.540 --> 00:25:28.630 Polly Hearsey: that 252 00:25:29.030 --> 00:25:36.700 Polly Hearsey: it's about the energy that you feel. You think I wanna I want to hold that energy when I'm out there in my business. How would I do that. 253 00:25:36.930 --> 00:25:38.240 Sarah Santacroce: Just. 254 00:25:38.540 --> 00:25:40.170 Polly Hearsey: Throw out the rule book. 255 00:25:40.330 --> 00:25:52.920 Polly Hearsey: throw out all of the reference points of all the people who are telling you exactly how to do it, because that is a very toxic narrative to have in your head really, really toxic. It will keep you stuck. 256 00:25:53.250 --> 00:25:53.960 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm! 257 00:25:55.030 --> 00:26:07.340 Sarah Santacroce: I want to switch to the future now, and maybe hear from you 1st how you envision your work and life in 5 years can't go. 258 00:26:07.340 --> 00:26:07.670 Polly Hearsey: Okay. 259 00:26:07.670 --> 00:26:11.580 Sarah Santacroce: That right now is like, Oh, 5 years already feels really far. 260 00:26:11.580 --> 00:26:14.220 Sarah Santacroce: No, I'm not entirely sure I could get to 5. 261 00:26:15.130 --> 00:26:16.457 Polly Hearsey: To be honest. 262 00:26:17.370 --> 00:26:27.039 Polly Hearsey: okay, I mean, where I see business going is this complete transition? Because we're in a space where we simply cannot continue 263 00:26:27.460 --> 00:26:40.000 Polly Hearsey: down the path that we're on. It is not sustainable from a human point of view, it is not sustainable from an environmental point of view, and it's not even sustainable from the economic point of view. But that is not necessarily being understood. 264 00:26:40.350 --> 00:26:41.450 Polly Hearsey: So 265 00:26:41.800 --> 00:26:55.900 Polly Hearsey: I don't know if you've seen it. But the Uk government has just actually started talking about, how are they going to brighten clouds to reflect more sun? And how are they going to geoengineer the weather that they've actually provided grants for this research. You just go. 266 00:26:57.180 --> 00:27:07.749 Polly Hearsey: This is classic economic model. You just knew it was going to come. People are going to be trying to find. How can they make money out of solving the crisis? 267 00:27:07.750 --> 00:27:08.660 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 268 00:27:08.660 --> 00:27:10.010 Polly Hearsey: Here's the problem 269 00:27:10.740 --> 00:27:31.439 Polly Hearsey: that they're not looking at, or the solution that they're not looking at, and that is that the problems are solved by doing it in a completely different way. We cannot continue to use the economic model that we've got. So in terms of climate change, if we just actually poured all of our resources into restoring the soil, we would make a massive difference in a couple of years. 270 00:27:31.610 --> 00:27:33.210 Polly Hearsey: Huge difference. 271 00:27:33.590 --> 00:27:39.950 Polly Hearsey: And it's not about planting forests and forests and forests. It's about looking at the soil, because that's where most of the carbon goes. 272 00:27:40.550 --> 00:27:48.899 Polly Hearsey: So we have to. So to me the future of business is about returning it, returning the power to the people. 273 00:27:50.100 --> 00:27:57.809 Polly Hearsey: and that starts with believing in yourself and believing in the fact that you have a valid and valuable role in the world 274 00:27:58.100 --> 00:28:03.979 Polly Hearsey: which has been so severely eroded by the societies that we've set up. 275 00:28:05.120 --> 00:28:11.510 Polly Hearsey: So where do I think business is going? I think business is going into a much more diverse 276 00:28:12.750 --> 00:28:21.839 Polly Hearsey: creative process. When I say creative, I don't just mean everyone's going to go into the creative arts. I mean that it's about, who am I as a person? And what do I want to offer the world? 277 00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:28.549 Polly Hearsey: So it's going to become more diverse. It's going to become more creative? And ultimately 278 00:28:30.150 --> 00:28:37.099 Polly Hearsey: is this 5? Is it 10? Is it 20 years down the line? They business is actually going to be part, become part of the ecosystem. 279 00:28:37.610 --> 00:28:41.469 Polly Hearsey: Instead of being in an extractive mode, the economic 280 00:28:41.950 --> 00:28:47.990 Polly Hearsey: norms will have been reshaped. So that actually, we're in a collaborative mode. 281 00:28:49.740 --> 00:29:00.070 Polly Hearsey: That's complex, because there's a whole web of energies that are, you know, they've got existing pathways that is very hard to change, but that, to me is 282 00:29:01.290 --> 00:29:05.470 Polly Hearsey: the higher sort of philosophical philosophical philosopher. 283 00:29:05.650 --> 00:29:10.680 Polly Hearsey: Philosophical direction of travel. 284 00:29:10.940 --> 00:29:11.800 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 285 00:29:11.800 --> 00:29:18.640 Polly Hearsey: Because it's about restoring agency. It's about restoring individual power and restructuring society. 286 00:29:19.650 --> 00:29:21.460 Polly Hearsey: So that's not a 5 year thing. 287 00:29:21.750 --> 00:29:28.589 Polly Hearsey: but in 5 years time I think the expectations of businesses will be completely different. 288 00:29:29.030 --> 00:29:29.850 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. 289 00:29:30.750 --> 00:29:31.520 Polly Hearsey: How about you? 290 00:29:31.520 --> 00:29:32.616 Sarah Santacroce: I like that vision. 291 00:29:33.521 --> 00:29:38.240 Sarah Santacroce: I just recently finished reading a book called Stellar, where 292 00:29:38.570 --> 00:29:41.419 Sarah Santacroce: the vision is that we have 293 00:29:41.600 --> 00:29:44.910 Sarah Santacroce: free energy that comes from the sun and the wind. 294 00:29:46.010 --> 00:29:54.810 Sarah Santacroce: and that then changes everything, because once we have free energy that is not extractive, but is regenerative. 295 00:29:55.700 --> 00:29:59.619 Sarah Santacroce: Well, the humans, in a way, it's kind of like you can just relax 296 00:29:59.910 --> 00:30:08.420 Sarah Santacroce: because there is not that need anymore to constantly produce. And, you know, create 297 00:30:08.990 --> 00:30:23.699 Sarah Santacroce: money to pay energy which then creates more crap. And you know, it's like this whole cycle. And so, yeah, I think I think it starts with with, like, you say, a complete systems change. 298 00:30:24.510 --> 00:30:36.330 Sarah Santacroce: I know already what we're already seeing is people don't want to work in in big businesses anymore, where it's just about, you know, climbing the ladder, and 299 00:30:36.430 --> 00:30:53.540 Sarah Santacroce: of course yes, there will. It'll be, I think, for a while there will be 2 worlds, 2 narratives. But eventually yeah, that that will change. And I think, actually like you, I think the power comes from the people. 300 00:30:53.650 --> 00:31:08.590 Sarah Santacroce: And so it's going to be these new leaders with innovative ideas. And yes, technology will help. But it will be with good intentions that we're using these technologies that are available. 301 00:31:08.850 --> 00:31:16.169 Sarah Santacroce: And I think the one the countries, if you think, from a country orientation? I think it's the small countries. 302 00:31:16.320 --> 00:31:21.460 Sarah Santacroce: probably from the global South that will be able to implement this the fastest. 303 00:31:21.750 --> 00:31:22.080 Polly Hearsey: Yeah. 304 00:31:22.080 --> 00:31:26.600 Sarah Santacroce: Because there's not that level of bureaucracy that we have in other countries. 305 00:31:26.600 --> 00:31:43.800 Polly Hearsey: Yeah. And I think that is a really interesting point, because we have these big institutions, you know, the bigger, the more established the economies of a particular country, the more we have these institutions, and so the power is controlled through the institutions. 306 00:31:43.800 --> 00:31:44.150 Sarah Santacroce: Exactly. 307 00:31:44.150 --> 00:31:56.420 Polly Hearsey: What's going to happen when we have more and more people coming into entrepreneurship, more and more people sort of choosing different pathways for their business for their careers, which not necessarily about owning a business 308 00:31:56.700 --> 00:32:01.120 Polly Hearsey: is, you diversify the the ground. 309 00:32:01.340 --> 00:32:08.020 Polly Hearsey: You change people's behavior in terms of how they engage with the businesses that they need in order to live. 310 00:32:08.380 --> 00:32:13.260 Polly Hearsey: and then, all of a sudden, there is nothing underneath those institutions. 311 00:32:13.890 --> 00:32:16.730 Polly Hearsey: and which means that governments don't have the power 312 00:32:17.420 --> 00:32:22.169 Polly Hearsey: to direct things anymore. So it's a very sudden collapse. 313 00:32:22.770 --> 00:32:28.960 Polly Hearsey: But it takes a long time coming, and it takes a lot of belief. So you know, going back to Martha Beck's pyramid in the pool 314 00:32:29.310 --> 00:32:33.019 Polly Hearsey: idea of, you know the changes created from the ground up. 315 00:32:33.660 --> 00:32:38.980 Polly Hearsey: We have to get across the base and work our way up slowly. 316 00:32:39.230 --> 00:33:01.219 Polly Hearsey: So for you and me because we we have to navigate. So you know, probably the conversations we were having with people, and what people were ready to hear 10 years ago, 5 years ago. That's changed. People are ready to hear something different now. So we have to keep advancing the conversation because it moves the the change up a little bit, because already, you know. 317 00:33:01.330 --> 00:33:06.859 Polly Hearsey: I see this all the time. It's like the the ground level where I might have started being, you know 318 00:33:07.340 --> 00:33:09.100 Polly Hearsey: 8 years ago, or whatever. 319 00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:15.739 Polly Hearsey: There's plenty of people there now saying exactly what I was saying back then, so I need to advance the conversation. 320 00:33:15.740 --> 00:33:22.630 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah, yeah, that's that's really good. And it reminds me also, when I shortened the the program. 321 00:33:22.770 --> 00:33:34.549 Sarah Santacroce: i 1 of the points I explained in my newsletter, I said. I can with all integrity do that because I feel like I'm picking people up at an advanced, more advanced level. 322 00:33:34.550 --> 00:33:35.150 Polly Hearsey: Yeah. 323 00:33:35.150 --> 00:33:46.970 Sarah Santacroce: Like when I started in 2019, I had to 1st explain, well, what is this? Why are we doing this? And now people are like, sign me up. Yeah, I want to do humane marketing. 324 00:33:46.970 --> 00:33:47.959 Polly Hearsey: The assumptions have already. 325 00:33:48.470 --> 00:33:49.080 Polly Hearsey: Is it. 326 00:33:49.080 --> 00:33:50.020 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah, exactly. 327 00:33:50.020 --> 00:34:00.930 Polly Hearsey: People have done the work which they hadn't done. So this is one of the reasons that this year I've been focusing a lot on what I call states of being and understanding those states of being of your audience. 328 00:34:00.930 --> 00:34:01.470 Sarah Santacroce: Because. 329 00:34:01.470 --> 00:34:12.089 Polly Hearsey: There are some who are still need to have it explained, and there are some who are in the process of getting ready, and there are a whole lot lot more people who are ready to do the work 330 00:34:12.090 --> 00:34:12.480 Polly Hearsey: if you talk 331 00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:18.019 Polly Hearsey: the right language to them. So you have to understand where they're at. You also have to understand what the role of your business is. 332 00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:28.780 Polly Hearsey: So because there are educator businesses who have a really important role to play in coming back to. I was saying to you before we started recording, but ecosystems of change. 333 00:34:28.969 --> 00:34:36.889 Polly Hearsey: you have to have people who are educators because it's like. It's asking people to open up and to do that assumption busting. 334 00:34:37.219 --> 00:34:41.320 Polly Hearsey: But you have to have the people who inspire different ways, and you and I fall into that category. 335 00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:43.419 Polly Hearsey: But we also have to have the people who 336 00:34:43.670 --> 00:34:47.609 Polly Hearsey: draw people together, and the people who focus on the actual mechanics of. 337 00:34:47.610 --> 00:34:48.010 Sarah Santacroce: Create. 338 00:34:48.010 --> 00:35:04.489 Polly Hearsey: The new. So we need all of these things, and everybody's business has a different role to play in that cycle. So we need to understand that. But you and I, we fall into that inspiration category. We we do show people how to do it. 339 00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:11.349 Polly Hearsey: But really, our focus is on saying, you want to go. Are you ready to go? Let's go because 340 00:35:11.750 --> 00:35:14.719 Polly Hearsey: you have the answers, and I can show you how to access them. 341 00:35:14.720 --> 00:35:15.180 Sarah Santacroce: That's kind. 342 00:35:15.180 --> 00:35:20.290 Polly Hearsey: What we do. So it's it's the conversation has changed. 343 00:35:20.290 --> 00:35:21.609 Polly Hearsey: Hmm, yeah. 344 00:35:21.610 --> 00:35:24.859 Polly Hearsey: I spent years thinking I am screaming into the void. 345 00:35:25.260 --> 00:35:37.459 Sarah Santacroce: Yes, yeah, in 2,018 that that was my or you know already before. But it's like when I put the 1st book out. It's like crickets, you know. Nobody was. 346 00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:39.870 Polly Hearsey: The collective consciousness was not ready to receive. 347 00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:41.010 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. 348 00:35:41.010 --> 00:35:47.379 Polly Hearsey: But the simple act. Here's the thing that I think people must remember the fact that you put that out there 349 00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:49.170 Polly Hearsey: changed 350 00:35:49.680 --> 00:36:06.240 Polly Hearsey: the playing field. It doesn't matter that there were crickets. You change the playing field, so you made it more possible for that conversation to happen, and the words that you put out there. Then I bet they're being reflected back to you now the things that you see other people saying you're going. Oh, hang on a second. I said that. 351 00:36:06.410 --> 00:36:07.929 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. And that's good, you know. 352 00:36:08.181 --> 00:36:09.690 Polly Hearsey: That's what we do it for. 353 00:36:09.690 --> 00:36:11.700 Sarah Santacroce: That's that's what we're here for. Yeah. 354 00:36:11.780 --> 00:36:18.980 Polly Hearsey: So. So we have to remember that even if we get crickets, there's a long term thing. And I say this a lot. 355 00:36:19.240 --> 00:36:25.650 Polly Hearsey: We have been trained to think that there is a direct correlation between the actions that we take and the responses that we get. So 356 00:36:26.060 --> 00:36:28.730 Polly Hearsey: you know, I I put this out, and I've got a bit of hair. 357 00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:33.440 Polly Hearsey: and I put this post out. I get a sale. 358 00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:35.140 Sarah Santacroce: I get sales. Yeah. 359 00:36:35.140 --> 00:36:37.835 Polly Hearsey: Doesn't work like that. And I was 360 00:36:38.500 --> 00:36:51.149 Polly Hearsey: an exercise, I say to people to put put something that you you genuinely believe about, and you believe in and put it out there, and you might get crickets. But then just open your awareness. 360, 361 00:36:51.500 --> 00:37:00.129 Polly Hearsey: and see where the response comes from. Because there you are. You're assuming there's a direct correlation between what I'm saying and the person that I'm talking to. 362 00:37:00.750 --> 00:37:08.009 Polly Hearsey: But actually, what you're doing is putting an energy out into the world. And then, if you're aware of it, some behind you, you're going to get a response. 363 00:37:08.630 --> 00:37:09.000 Sarah Santacroce: So, yeah. 364 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:14.680 Polly Hearsey: So stop thinking. That's the other thing that we stop thinking about this direct causation. 365 00:37:15.469 --> 00:37:22.280 Polly Hearsey: It isn't a direct causation, it is. It is about the energy we put out, and then the energy that we receive. 366 00:37:23.010 --> 00:37:31.509 Sarah Santacroce: And so the problem with that is that we're being taught well, if you put something out there and nobody responds, then. 367 00:37:31.510 --> 00:37:32.000 Polly Hearsey: Failed. 368 00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:48.830 Sarah Santacroce: It's failed, and, you know, move on to the next thing. And meanwhile there's all this, you know, movement going on underneath the surface that you're not seeing. And so you know, people ask next year, what about your program? You're not doing that anymore. So. 369 00:37:48.830 --> 00:37:55.252 Polly Hearsey: So, and there there's if you agrees. The the 370 00:37:56.350 --> 00:37:58.200 Polly Hearsey: An analogy I use 371 00:37:58.520 --> 00:38:04.899 Polly Hearsey: is that if you if you look particularly spring now, if you look at this, there's a riot of growth going on. 372 00:38:05.260 --> 00:38:11.909 Polly Hearsey: Where does that growth start? It starts in the soil. Can you see it? No. 373 00:38:11.910 --> 00:38:12.630 Sarah Santacroce: No. 374 00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:14.010 Polly Hearsey: It's happening. 375 00:38:14.420 --> 00:38:22.450 Polly Hearsey: So we have. So there's a lot of trust. So and you and I have been through that. We've been through this sort of thing, feeling like we're talking 376 00:38:22.650 --> 00:38:29.639 Polly Hearsey: to nothing, you know, we're not getting a response. But actually, we've just been fertilizing the ground. 377 00:38:30.290 --> 00:38:30.940 Sarah Santacroce: No. 378 00:38:31.195 --> 00:38:33.490 Polly Hearsey: But we have to keep on doing that because. 379 00:38:33.490 --> 00:38:34.420 Sarah Santacroce: Keep on doing that. 380 00:38:34.420 --> 00:38:43.040 Polly Hearsey: Our part, you know, there's a lot of people who will then come in and work that. But we for us, it's about setting the expectations. 381 00:38:43.040 --> 00:38:43.560 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 382 00:38:43.560 --> 00:38:49.709 Polly Hearsey: What does it actually mean? Because about probably about 4 years ago, I noticed this big shift 383 00:38:50.420 --> 00:39:04.969 Polly Hearsey: in the way that some of the really big businesses, you know, the multi 7 figure businesses were talking and the language that they were using. And then I looked at what they were doing, and they were doing exactly the same thing, but they shifted their language. 384 00:39:04.970 --> 00:39:05.390 Sarah Santacroce: And. 385 00:39:05.390 --> 00:39:19.930 Polly Hearsey: It's more than that. It's not about just shifting your language. It's about shifting your expectations. It's about upholding your values. It's about listening to yourself in a different way, and giving yourself a different set of permissions to do things. 386 00:39:20.570 --> 00:39:21.740 Polly Hearsey: So he's. 387 00:39:21.740 --> 00:39:29.169 Sarah Santacroce: And that's what you said at the beginning. It's like people can smell that a mile away, right when it's just lipstick on a pig. 388 00:39:29.450 --> 00:39:39.520 Polly Hearsey: And yeah, and your business. It's what happens behind the scenes in your business and beyond the public gaze. That is as important as what you put out there publicly. 389 00:39:40.175 --> 00:39:40.830 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. 390 00:39:40.830 --> 00:39:45.649 Polly Hearsey: There can be an absolute, you know, businesses that are car crash behind the scenes 391 00:39:46.620 --> 00:39:58.600 Polly Hearsey: that it helps no one. So you do the work on yourself, on how you hold your business, and how you conduct your business. You do that in order to build something that is resilient. 392 00:39:58.730 --> 00:40:05.230 Polly Hearsey: and that would be my. The one thing I would say to people is that if you want to have a business in the future. 393 00:40:05.530 --> 00:40:08.610 Polly Hearsey: you better then well, focus on your resilience. 394 00:40:08.610 --> 00:40:09.080 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm, okay. 395 00:40:09.080 --> 00:40:17.290 Polly Hearsey: I don't mean your economic resilience, I mean your energetic, your values-based resilience. Now. 396 00:40:17.290 --> 00:40:18.060 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 397 00:40:18.060 --> 00:40:18.540 Polly Hearsey: Cause it. 398 00:40:18.540 --> 00:40:22.309 Sarah Santacroce: I was just gonna ask you, kind of as a closing question, like. 399 00:40:22.420 --> 00:40:29.779 Sarah Santacroce: what kind of questions do you think leaders, entrepreneurs should ask themselves. 400 00:40:29.950 --> 00:40:34.648 Sarah Santacroce: either themselves or or about their business, just like what are the. 401 00:40:35.040 --> 00:40:41.589 Polly Hearsey: The number. One thing that I come, I tell people to do, and I and you cannot do it too many times. 402 00:40:42.100 --> 00:40:49.839 Polly Hearsey: You can do it every month if you want to, every week, if you want to, is, ask yourself what are my values, and how am I upholding them? 403 00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:50.510 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 404 00:40:50.510 --> 00:40:59.699 Polly Hearsey: And that means looking at the fine print of your terms and conditions as much as it means. How am I showing up. 405 00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:07.169 Polly Hearsey: Where is the integrity in that? Where is the integrity with my values? 406 00:41:07.740 --> 00:41:09.790 Polly Hearsey: Because your values come from within. 407 00:41:10.820 --> 00:41:16.449 Polly Hearsey: and the more that you are focused on your values, the more you are challenging and busting assumptions. 408 00:41:16.770 --> 00:41:23.830 Polly Hearsey: and the more you are opening up the landscape for your business to thrive in the future. 409 00:41:24.250 --> 00:41:25.060 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm! 410 00:41:25.420 --> 00:41:26.470 Sarah Santacroce: Beautiful. 411 00:41:26.950 --> 00:41:30.390 Sarah Santacroce: Well, I think we have a lot of hope for. 412 00:41:30.390 --> 00:41:30.860 Polly Hearsey: And do we do. 413 00:41:31.180 --> 00:41:38.011 Sarah Santacroce: Business of the future. I do. You do so. We'll just keep showing up. 414 00:41:38.500 --> 00:41:41.360 Polly Hearsey: I say, business has caused a lot of the problems. 415 00:41:41.510 --> 00:41:43.550 Polly Hearsey: It can also be the solution. 416 00:41:43.550 --> 00:41:46.469 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah, yeah, I really believe that it's. 417 00:41:46.470 --> 00:41:46.950 Polly Hearsey: Yeah. 418 00:41:46.950 --> 00:41:52.739 Sarah Santacroce: It's not the institutions, it's not the governments. It's the humans behind the businesses. Right? 419 00:41:52.740 --> 00:41:54.450 Sarah Santacroce: Yeah. Yep, yeah. 420 00:41:54.450 --> 00:41:56.510 Polly Hearsey: And that's going to be the thing that changes everything. 421 00:41:56.510 --> 00:41:57.450 Sarah Santacroce: Hmm. 422 00:41:58.239 --> 00:42:07.350 Sarah Santacroce: thank you, Polly, as always wonderful. Please do share where people can find out more about you, and sign up to your newsletter, etcetera. 423 00:42:07.350 --> 00:42:14.259 Polly Hearsey: Yeah, you can head over to my website, which is just polyhecy.co.uk, and and follow the breadcrumbs from there. 424 00:42:15.560 --> 00:42:19.259 Sarah Santacroce: Wonderful.

And let's let's do it again, sometime. 425 00:42:19.260 --> 00:42:20.250 Polly Hearsey: I'd love to. 426 00:42:20.756 --> 00:42:21.770 Sarah Santacroce: Thank you. 427 00:42:21.770 --> 00:42:22.370 Polly Hearsey: Thank you. 428 00:42:22.580 --> 00:42:23.240 Sarah Santacroce: Bye.
Binary thinking is out of fashion. But what about biological sex?Whatever we might say about diversity and fluidity, the ideas of “male” and “female” seem essential in biology. I've taught the subject. I've drawn bees and flowers, with arrows from anthers to ovaries. I've used the terms “dad cell” and “mother cell” while doing so. I don't know how I could have done it any differently.And maybe that's just fine. Human sex cells are binary: sperm and egg. But here's the twist: humans aren't sex cells. Humans are animals. And animals aren't so easily grouped. XY chromosomes don't always produce a penis. And when we turn to hormones, brains, and behaviours, the picture gets even messier.Or so argues Princeton Professor Agustín Fuentes, a leading expert on human biology. His new book, Sex Is a Spectrum, came out this week. It makes the case that biology no longer supports a sharp separation between male and female. Whether you agree with Fuentes or not, it's an argument worth taking seriously.We had a great conversation, ranging from hermaphroditic worms to sex-changing fish, and from gender stereotypes to intersex humans. At times, I pushed back. But I learned a lot throughout the conversation. I hope you do too.Thoughts about Fuentes's argument? Or my takes? Share them at onhumans.substack.com.

Du kennst es vielleicht auch: Es gibt Situationen im Leben, die triggern uns wieder und wieder. Wir wünschen uns, wir würden anders damit umgehen können, aber es ist nicht so. XY zieht dir immer wieder den Boden unter den Füßen weg? Mir geht es auch phasenweise so! Ich teile in dieser Podcastfolge eine sehr intime Situation mit meinem Mann, in der es mir so geht/(ging?). Ich möchte dir zeigen, was ich von diesen „Dauerschleifen“ halte und wie ich damit umgehe. Denn ich denke: Extrarunden zu gehen ist genau richtig! Wir sollten sie feiern und halten statt sie wegzudrücken. Wir müssen diese Extrarunden ggf. Laufen um irgendwann tatsächlich daraus hinausgewachsen zu sein. Mehr in der Folge. Viel Freude beim Anhören und ich freue mich über dein Feedback!

Die Dämonenjäger reisten weiter zur Hand. Der Weg dorthin war gesäumt von feurigen Gefahren, die Felban das Leben kosteten. In einem brennenden Wald erhielten sie Unterstützung von XY, welcher froh war, endlich Verbündete gegen das dämonische Treiben zu finden. Drei Elende wurden bereits ausgelöst: "2:6 Und SIE sieht IHN stärker werden. Und SIE offenbart sich selbst, und alle werden erschlagen." "3:1 In Graven-Tosk wird der Boden warm, und die, die sich ausruhen werden zum Laufen gebracht." "4:3 Schau nach Westen. Da kommt Feuer und eine Horde, und die Königreiche brennen." Beim Siebten Elend endet die Welt. Belsum führte nun das berüchtige Schwert, um selbst einmal ein Fürst zu werden und er führte es gut. Einige Kultisten und brennende Bestien hauchten ihr Leben aus, bis sie die Hand erreichten. Dort kämpfte Happy zwar immer noch mit seinem Skelett, welches versuchte, aus seinem Körper zu entkommen, aber das war nicht das größte Problem. Sie fanden den Dämonen und dieser stürmte mit Gewalt auf sie ein. Im einem Raum, erhellt durch Feuer und Flammen, kämpfen um ihr Leben und würfeln Initiative: Happy, gespielt von Kevin Streta, gespielt von Silvi Belsum, gespielt von Sascha Katran, gespielt von Kathrin Podcast | Rollenspielpodcast (neomancerrpg.wixsite.com) https://www.patreon.com/1W3Rollenspieler Music by: Tabletop Audio - Ambiences and Music for Tabletop Role Playing Games

Intersex marine mammals are an exceptionally rare topic in marine biology, and in this episode, we dive into a groundbreaking discovery of an intersex southern right whale. The whale, sampled in 1989, was recently found to possess XY chromosomes through genetic testing. This revelation opens up new conversations about sex differentiation in marine species and the complexities of whale biology that scientists are only beginning to uncover. Southern right whale research has long been essential to ocean conservation, but this case adds an entirely new layer. Through a discussion of how genetic tests were used to identify the condition, we explore what this discovery means for marine science, the implications for studying biodiversity, and how it might shape future marine mammal research. Tune in to hear about a unique scientific moment that redefines our understanding of sex in the ocean world.

In episode 276 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked back in with James Roffey. James is a personal trainer and semi-professional footballer. He was previously the business owner of his personal training brand ‘The Mental Health PT' but due to personal and business reasons, has rebranded and relaunched it as ‘Ultimate Body and Mind'. James first came on the pod in JCIP #183 where he discussed his journey into personal training and his struggle and recovery from a long-term eating disorder, which was triggered by three major life events. Since then, a massive amount has happened in James's life, positively and negatively. For the former, he signed for non-league club Sheffield FC, only for the team to sign a professional goalkeeper the day before the transfer window shut and make him the number two goalkeeper at the last minute. As a 36-year-old, James needed to play minutes and had to leave the club and join another team as a result. For the latter, he has separated from his wife, which became messy and caused James severe mental health difficulties. During this separation, James discovered he was infertile because of a genetic condition he had called Klinefelter syndrome which, according to the NHS website, is characterised by boys being born with an extra X chromosome, so for James he has XXY, as opposed to XY for other men without the condition. It's important to state that the X chromosome is not a "female" chromosome and is present in everyone. The presence of a Y chromosome denotes male sex. Symptoms of Klinefelter Syndrome in childhood can include: shyness and low self-confidence, problems with reading, writing, spelling and paying attention, mild dyslexia or dyspraxia, low energy levels, and difficulty socialising or expressing feelings. In teenagers, it is characterised by growing taller than expected. Finally in adulthood, as James tragically discovered, it is characterised by infertility as well as low sex drive, smaller testes and erection problems, which James bravely admits on the podcast but originally attributed it to his eating disorder. Kleinefelter Syndrome is also recognised as a Difference in Sexual Development (DSD). James also began suffering from cluster migraines because of the stress of his marriage breaking down, as well as a myriad of other events happening which we can't discuss on this podcast. James's uncle also tragically took his own life in 2024 after trying to take his own life previous to that three times. James says his uncle was let down by the system; the healthcare system for not providing adequate care, and the family court system as his uncle separated from his wife and claims he was parentally alienated from his step-children by his ex-wife. In Part 3, we discuss James's business rebrand and why he did it, a deep dive into his marriage breakdown, his infertility diagnosis, drama in his football career and how he took himself from rock bottom to where he is now. Infertility is one of the most stigmatised experiences one can feel as a man for obvious reasons and we are very proud of James for the bravery he has shown on this podcast to discuss it so openly and courageously for all of the men who live with Klinefelter Syndrome in the UK, which is currently as high as 1 in 600 in this country.

Join Bill Bellows and Andrew Stotz as they discuss what actions (or inactions) make us worse than thieves and how that relates to expiration dates, and acceptability vs desirability. Plus, stories about job swapping, Achieving Competitive Excellence, and birthdays. TRANSCRIPT 0:00:02.3 Andrew Stotz: My name is Andrew Stotz, and I'll be your host as we dive deeper into the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Today, I'm continuing my discussion with Bill Bellows, who has spent 31 years helping people apply Dr. Deming's ideas to become aware of how their thinking is holding them back from their biggest opportunities. Today is Episode 9, and it's entitled "Worse Than a Thief." Bill, take it away. 0:00:27.2 Bill Bellows: Welcome, Andrew. I haven't seen you in a while, and great to be back. 0:00:29.1 AS: It's been a while. 0:00:32.0 BB: Here we are. Episode 9 already. Gosh, [chuckle] time flies when we're having fun. First, let me say a shout out to people who are reaching out to me on LinkedIn. I spoke with another one of them this afternoon. It's always exciting to connect with them. And then I ideally connect in a regular basis and help them as best I can, and learn from them as best I can. 0:01:03.0 AS: Yep. 0:01:03.2 BB: So, for those who are thinking about it, they keep hearing you say, "Hey, you know how to reach Bill? Find him on LinkedIn." So, a reminder for those who are waiting for a nudge, here's a nudge. So, "Worse than a thief" is an expression that Dr. Taguchi used when he say, Andrew, "Don't be worse than a thief." And we'll get to that, but let me just give our audience some context on that. 0:01:37.8 AS: Yep. 0:01:39.0 BB: Dr. Taguchi would say... And actually, I don't know if Dr. Taguchi explained it. Someone explained it to me this way. He said a thief could be someone who steals your wallet, finds $20; which means they're up 20, you're down 20; which people refer to as "zero sum gain." Right? So, the thief's gain is my loss, zero sum. What could be worse than that? Well, "worse than a thief" would be a situation where what someone gains is nothing compared to what I lose. A simple example is, [chuckle] I'm not the only one who does this, but if I'm going to the supermarket and I get out of the car and I see a nail in the parking lot or a piece of glass in the parking lot on my way in. So, I'm not talking about walking all around the parking lot. I'm talking about if on my way into the store I see a nail, something that could puncture a foot, a tire, and I spend a few seconds to pick it up, throw it in the trash can right by the door, then my theory is the reason I do that, the reason others do that, is the belief that that little bit of time that I am spending doing that could potentially save someone far more than the few seconds it took me. 0:03:20.9 BB: Well, "worse than a thief" would be, I see that broken bottle, let's say a bunch of shards of glass. And having worked at my father's gas station, I've seen... A nail on a tire is one thing. Nail creates a puncture. A piece of glass in a tire creates a fracture. A piece of glass can destroy a tire 'cause you get a crack and it spreads, and that's hard to repair. A puncture with a nail, yeah, it's inconvenient, but that doesn't destroy the tire. So, I'm overly sensitive when I see pieces of glass in a parking lot, that that could ruin a tire. 0:04:04.8 AS: And ruin a day. 0:04:06.2 BB: Ruin a day, oh yeah. And so the idea is that for someone to not take the time, and the time they save cost you more than they saved, that's worse than a thief. 0:04:19.8 AS: Right. 0:04:20.0 BB: So, if I meet a set of requirements, leave the bowling ball in the doorway, deliver minimally, but in the world of acceptability, what do we call that, Andrew? It's good. 0:04:35.3 AS: It's good. 0:04:36.0 BB: Right? It's good. It's just within requirements, but good. 0:04:41.8 AS: It's not beyond looking good. 0:04:43.9 BB: And forget about beyond looking good; this is looking good. So, I leave the bowling ball in the doorway. I deliver to you the absolute minimum, which is still good. So, your response to that, Andrew, is, "Thank you, Bill." [chuckle] 0:05:00.0 AS: Yeah. 0:05:00.1 BB: And I'm not saying you know what I did, but let's say the situation where I am unaware of the loss function. I'm unaware that what I'm doing is make making your life worse. 0:05:12.2 AS: Right. 0:05:13.3 BB: But the idea is that my shortcut to deliver the D minus; D minus, minus, minus, minus, minus. 'Cause that's still not an F. What Taguchi is talking about is that the amount of resources I save, may be a fraction of what it cost you in terms of extra effort to use it. So, my savings of an hour, a minute, a second causing you far more than I saved, is worse than a thief. But in the world of acceptability, there is no such thing. In the world of acceptability, a little bit within requirements on the low side, a little bit within requirements on the high side, it's all the same. Again, there may be a situation where if you're putting a shelf on a piece of wood on a wall as a shelf and it's a little bit longer, a little bit long on either side, that may not have an impact; may not be touching anything on either side. It doesn't have to fit in. 0:06:25.9 BB: Now, this past weekend, our son and I were installing a new floor at our daughter's condo, and we wanted the pieces to fit in-between other pieces and this laminate floor which is a [chuckle] lot of work. Our son is turning into quite the artist when it comes to woodworking and things. But it's very precise getting things just right, just right, just right. And that attention to detail, that attention to making sure the gaps are just right, minding the gap and not the part. And there were pieces of this floor that he was trying to install. And it was driving him nuts, and finally... He's trying to figure it out and he finally figured it out what was going on. 'Cause he wanted that floor and the spacing between not just to meet requirements [chuckle] not that our daughter gave him and set the requirement, but he wanted the floor in those gaps to be invisible. He wanted things to... Right? He had a higher level, a higher standard. 0:07:25.3 BB: Now, this is the same kid who when he was 13 left the bowling ball in the doorway. But I would've done that. You would've done that. So, anyway, that's the difference between... Another reminder of, one, the difference between acceptability and desirability. But to add to this idea of "worse than a thief," embedded in the concept of desirability is not to be worse than a thief, is to understand the consequences of your action on others, and the amount of time and your decision on how you deliver it and how you meet the requirements. The idea is that, the less time you take in order to save at your end might be causing the person downstream in your organization more than you're saving. 0:08:22.8 AS: In other words, something small, you could adjust something small that would have a huge impact down the line, and you just didn't... You don't know about it. 0:08:32.2 BB: Again, that's why I go back to the nail in the parking lot. To not pick up the nail could cause someone so much more than the few seconds you didn't spend. But again, that could be... [overlapping conversation] 0:08:44.0 AS: And one of the things that makes it easier or better for a working environment is you know your downstream. 0:08:51.8 BB: Yes. 0:08:51.8 AS: When you're walking in the parking lot, you don't know your downstream; it's just anybody generally, and hopefully I've stopped something from happening here, but you're never gonna know and all that. But with a business, you know your downstream, you know your upstream, and that communication can produce a really, really exciting result because you can see it and feel it. 0:09:11.8 BB: Well, and thank you for bringing that up, because I've got notes from... Since the last time we met, I keep a file for the next sessions we're gonna do. And so as things, ideas come up from people that I'm meeting on LinkedIn or elsewhere, then I, "Oh, let me throw that in." And so I throw it into a Word file for the next time. And so somewhere, I can't remember who, but since the last time we spoke, someone shared with me... Hold on, let me find it here. Okay. In their organization, they do staff rotation. They move people around in their organization. And the question had to do with, "Isn't that what Dr. Deming would promote? Is having people move around the organization?" And I said... Hold on, I gotta sneeze. I said, "Well, if I am the person that makes the parts that you have to assemble, and I make them just within requirements unaware of the downstream impact... " I don't know where they are within the requirements, let's say. 0:10:30.0 BB: All I know is that they're acceptable. I machine it, I measure it, the inspection says it's good, I don't know where within it's good. I don't know. So, I'm unaware. All I know is that it met the requirements. And I hand off to you on a regular basis, and then the boss comes along and says, "Bill, I wanna have you go do Andrew's job." So, now, I'm on the receiving end. And maybe you are upstream doing what I used to do. And you are likewise unaware that... You don't know that you're delivering acceptability. All you know is all the parts you deliver are good. You're trained the same way I'm trained, I'm doing your job. Does that change anything? [chuckle] If I take on your job and let's say, banging it together, whereas the week before you were banging it together, does that rotation create the conversation? 0:11:27.2 AS: So, you're saying rotation for the sake of rotation is not necessarily valuable if in fact, what could be more value is just the two of us sitting down and saying, "So what is it that you're doing with yours and what do you need?" and maybe visiting the other side or something like that. 0:11:44.9 BB: My point is, until the thought occurs to either one of us on the distinction between acceptable and desirable, neither one of us is the wiser as to why we do what we do. So, having people move around the organization and take on different roles, absent an understanding of this contrast, absent an understanding of what Dr. Deming is talking about, which includes these distinctions, that's not gonna do anything. 0:12:16.0 AS: Right. 0:12:16.8 BB: I would say it's a nice idea, and you hear about that all the time about oh the CEO's gonna go work at the front desk. But if the CEO goes to the front desk, again, unless he or she has a sense of what could be, that things could be smoother than what they are because of where they've worked before and it's so much smoother over there, that could lead to why at the Atlanta office does it take so much longer than the LA office. Now I'm beginning to wonder what might be causing that difference. But if I just take on your job for the first time, or if you and I every other week change jobs. So, I'm doing your job, we are both doing assembly, we're both making the parts. Absent an understanding of the contrast between a Deming environment or a non-Deming environment, which would include an appreciation of what Dr. Deming would call the System of Profound Knowledge and the elements of psychology and systems and variation, the theory of knowledge, just not enough. Insufficient. Nice idea. But it's when at Rocketdyne we would call "reforming." 0:13:39.0 BB: And we started 'cause Russ... Dr. Deming talks about transformation, and Russ talks about reforming. And so I started thinking, "How would I explain what... " I just thought it was too... My interpretation of what Dr. Deming is saying of the individual transform will begin to see things differently, okay. My interpretation is, I begin to hear things differently, I begin to hear the contrast between somebody referring to their son as "their son" versus "our son," my idea versus our idea; I start paying attention to pronouns, so I start hearing things differently; I start to think about, see things as a system a little... I become more aware, visually more aware. 0:14:43.9 BB: And to me, another aspect I think about relative to transformation is that, if I'm the professor and you're the student in a class, or in any situation, I don't see... I think about how I've contributed to whatever it is you're doing. I have somehow created the headache that you're experiencing. If I'm upstream of you in the organization, whether that's me delivering a report or a tool, or I'm the professor delivering the lecture, I began to realize that your issues I've created, and I begin to see things as a... I begin to see that I am part of the issue, Part of the solution, part of the problem. When I explained to students this, I began to realize as a professor that I am not an observer of your learning, asking "How did you do on the exam?" I am a participant in your learning, saying "How did we do in the lecture?" And to me, that's all part of this transformation. 0:15:53.0 BB: Now, the other word, "reform," which is associated with things I've heard from Russ. He talks about... Yeah, I'll just pause there. But I started thinking, well, Deming's talking about how I see the world, how I begin to see relationships differently, think about variation differently. That's a personal transformation. Reforming, and others began to explain to people at Rocketdyne and I do with clients and students is, reforming is when you and I swap jobs. Reforming is when I look at the process and get rid of a few steps. Reforming is changing titles. Reforming is painting something, [chuckle] changing the color. I think I shared, maybe in the first podcast series, I was doing a multi-day, one-on-one seminar with a pediatrician in Kazakhstan, who came to London to meet me and a bunch of other friends to learn more about Dr. Deming's work. And the entire thing was done through a translator. 0:17:07.1 BB: And so I would ask a question in English, it would be translated to Russian then back to me in English. And so at some point, I said to Ivan Klimenko, a wonderful, wonderful guy. I said, "Ivan," I said [chuckle] to Yuri, the translator, I said, "Ask Ivan, what's the fastest way for a Red Pen Company, a non-Deming company, a "Me" organization, to become a Blue Pen Company, otherwise known as a Deming company or "We" organization." And these are terms that we talked about in the first series; I don't think in this series. But, anyway, I said, "So what's the fastest way for a non-Deming company to become a Deming company? A Red Pen Company to become a Blue Pen Company?" 0:17:44.9 BB: And so he asked, and I'm listening to the translation. And he says, "Okay, I give up." I said, "Spray paint." [chuckle] And that's what reforming is: Getting out the red spray paint, having things become neat, clean, and organized, and you're just going through the motions. There's no change of state. And so, "I do your job, you do my job," that's not sufficient. But get us to think about the contrast of a Deming and a non-Deming organization, then you and I changing roles could be enormously beneficial as I begin to understand what it's like to be on the receiving end. Now, we're talking. And I think I mentioned in a previous podcast, I had a woman attend one of the classes I did at Rocketdyne, and she said, "Bill, in our organization, we have compassion for one another." It's the same thing. It's not sufficient. And that's me saying, "Andrew, I feel really bad. I lost a lot of sleep last night thinking about how much time you spend banging together all those parts that I give you. And if there was anything I could do to make things better, I would love to help you. But at the end of the day, Andrew, all the parts I gave you are good, right? I don't give you bad stuff, right? Have I ever given you a defective part, Andrew?" 0:19:12.0 AS: Nope. 0:19:13.1 BB: "So, everything's good, right? Everything's good that I give you? Well, then, if I could help you, but I don't know what else to do. Everything I give you is good. So, it must be on your end." [laughter] [overlapping conversation] 0:19:24.1 AS: And I'm busy. Yeah. 0:19:26.6 BB: Must be on you. And that's what I'm talking about. Now, if I understand that I'm contributing to your headache, I'm contributing to the trouble you're having with an example, now I'm inspired; now I understand there's something on me. [chuckle] But, short of that, nice idea, it's not helping. 0:19:50.0 BB: [laughter] So, the story I wanted to share before we're talking about this role-changing. Again, role-changing by itself, nah, not sufficient. So, see if this sounds familiar. It has to do with acceptability. I'm pretty certain it's part of the first series. I wanna make sure it's part of the second series. So, I was in a seminar at Rocketdyne on something to do with quality. And I think United Technologies had purchased Rocketdyne. They were bringing to us their new quality management system. Not just any quality management system, Andrew. This was called ACE, A-C-E. And, when we first learned about this, I remember being in a room when their United Technologies, ACE experts started to explain it. And some of my colleagues said, "Well, what is ACE?" They said, "Well, it's Achieving Competitive Excellence." "Well, what is it? What is it, 'competitive... '" 0:20:52.2 AS: It sounds like you wanna put that up on the wall as a slogan. 0:20:56.0 BB: It was a slogan, "Achieving Competitive Excellence." And people says, "Well, what is it?" I said, "Well, it's Lean Six Sigma." Well, so why do you call it ACE? Well, our arch rivals, General Electric. they call it Lean Six Sigma. We ain't gonna call it Lean Six Sigma. So, we're calling it ACE, A-C-E, Achieving Competitive Excellence. But it's the same thing as Lean Six Sigma. [chuckle] And so we had all this mandatory ACE training that we would all sit through and pray that the rosters were never lost, were never lost so we wouldn't have to take the training again. So, in the training, there was a discussion of, how does the environment impact quality? And I don't know how it came up, but similar, there's a conversation about the environment could affect quality. And, so when that was raised, I think it was a question that came up. 0:21:56.9 BB: How does the environment affect quality? The physical environment: How hot it is, how cold it is. So, one of the attendees says, "I've got an example." He says, "I worked for a Boeing supplier," and it might have been, "I worked for Boeing in Australia." I know he said he worked in Australia. They made parts, big parts, very tall parts like a 15, 20... Very long section. And I think he said it had to do with the tails, part of the tail for Boeing airplane. [chuckle] He says, "When we would measure it," he said, "we knew that if we took the measurement first thing in the morning before the sun came up and it started to get hot, then there's a good chance that the length would meet requirements. And, we knew that once that part saw the heat of the sun and expanded, then it wouldn't meet requirements. So, we measured it first thing in the morning, [laughter] and that's an example of how the environment affects quality." And, my first thought when I heard that was, "You can't make that story up, that I will keep measuring it until it meets requirements." That, Andrew, is me shipping acceptability. Do I care at all about how that part is used, Andrew? [chuckle] 0:23:18.7 AS: Nope. 0:23:19.9 BB: Do I know how that part is installed? Am I watching you install it and go through all, you know, hammer it? Nope. No. Again, even if I did, would I think twice that I measured it before the sun came up and that might be causing the issue? No, that still would not occur to me. But the other thing I wanted to bring up on this, on the topic of ACE, remember what ACE stands for? 0:23:46.0 AS: Achieving Competitive... 0:23:50.0 BB: Excellence. 0:23:50.3 AS: Excellence. 0:23:51.8 BB: So, Rocketdyne was owned by United Technologies of Pratt and Whitney, division of West Palm Beach, for 10 years or so? 10 long years. ACE, ACE, ACE, ACE, ACE. So, I kept thinking, [chuckle] I said to some of my Deming colleagues, "There's gotta be another acronym which is A-C-E." Achieving Competitive... What? What might be another E word? 'Cause it's not... Instead of ACE, Achieving Competitive Excellence, I kept thinking of this, what might be another way of what this is really all about? And it dawned me. The embarrassment is how long it took me to come up with what ACE translated to. And it was "Achieving Compliance Excellence." [chuckle] 0:24:42.9 AS: Excellent. 0:24:45.0 BB: Does it meet requirements? Yes. And so what is compliance excellence? It gets us back to acceptability. So, traditional quality compliance. But then while I was on the thought of Achieving Compliance Excellence, and then, well, there's a place for meeting requirements. There's a place for compliance excellence. I'm not throwing it out the window. I would say, if I ask you, Andrew, how far it is to the closest airport and you say 42 miles, 42 kilometers, or you say it takes an hour, then embedded in that model is "A minute is a minute, an hour is an hour, a mile is a mile, and all the miles are the same." Well, maybe they aren't. Maybe they aren't. Maybe I'm walking that distance, and I'm going uphill and downhill. Maybe I'm driving that distance. And those changes in elevation don't matter as much. So, then, what I thought was, there's Achieving Compliance Excellence that's acceptability, and then there's Achieving Contextual Excellence, which is my understanding of the context. 0:25:56.7 BB: And given my understanding of the context, if you say to me, "How far is it to the nearest airport?" I say, "Well, tell me more about the context of your question. Are you driving there? Are you riding your bike there? Are you walking there?" 'Cause then I'm realizing that every mile with Compliance Excellence, I just treat it as "a mile is a mile is a mile." They're all interchangeable, they're all the same. With Contextual Excellence, the context matters. And I say to you, "That's a... I mean, 42 miles, but boy, every mile is... They're brutal." And so then just the idea that context matters, that the understanding of a system matters. All right. So, next thing I wanna get to, and we've talked about this before but we never got it in, but I wanna provide, I really... Well, what I think is a neat example. [laughter] Okay. Calm down, Bill. [laughter] 0:26:54.8 AS: Yeah. You're excited about it. 0:26:57.0 BB: All right. 0:26:57.1 AS: So, about your idea... [chuckle] 0:27:00.2 BB: All right. So, again, in this spirit, my aim in conversation with you is to provide insights to people trying to bring these ideas to their organization. They're either trying to improve their own understanding, looking for better ways to explain it to others. And towards that end, here is a keeper. And for those who try this, if you have trouble, get back to me. Let me know how it goes. Here's the scenario I give people, and I've done this many, many times. What I used to do is give everyone in the room a clear transparency. That's when you had overhead projectors. [chuckle] 'Cause people say, "What is a transparency? What is an overhead projector?" [overlapping conversation] 0:27:45.0 AS: Yeah exactly. 0:27:46.8 BB: It's a clear piece of plastic, like the size of a sheet of paper. And on that sheet, on that piece of plastic was a vertical line and a horizontal line. I could call it set a set of axes, X-Y axis. And the vertical axis I called "flavor." And the horizontal axis, I called "time." And, so everyone, when they would walk into a seminar, would get a clear transparency. I give them a pen to write on this transparency. And I'd say to them, "Here's what I want you to imagine. The horizontal axis is time. The vertical axis is flavor." And I would hold up a can of soda and I'd say, "Imagine. Imagine, inside this can, imagine before the lid is put on, soda is added to this can," any kind of soda. Right? "Imagine soda's in the can. Imagine in the can is a probe, a flavor meter. And the flavor meter is connected to the pen in your hand." And what that... Wirelessly, Andrew. So, there's this probe that goes into the soda, into the can. It is, let's say, with Bluetooth technology connected to the pen in your hand, such that you have the ability with this magic pen to trace out what the flavor of the soda in the can is at any point in time. 0:29:31.0 BB: And so I would put on the vertical axis, right, the Y axis, I would put a little tick mark, maybe three quarters of the way up the vertical axis. And so everyone started at that tick mark. And I would say, "Okay, get your pen ready, get it on the tick mark. This flavor meter is inside the can. It's transmitting to your hand and the pen the flavor of Pepsi. If I was to seal this can, put the lid on it, and I say, 'Now the device is activated.' As soon as I put the lid on the can, the pen is activated and your hand starts to trace out what is the flavor of the soda doing over time." And I would say, "If you think the flavor gets better, then you have a curve going up. If you think the flavor of the soda's getting worse, then it goes down. If you think it stays the same, it just goes across." 0:30:37.1 BB: And I would just say, "What I want each of you to do, as soon as that can is sealed, I want you to imagine what the flavor of Pepsi, Coke, whatever it is, I want you to... " The question is, "What do you think the flavor of soda is doing in a sealed can over time?" And I would say, "Don't ask any questions. Just do that." Now, most of the people just take that and they just draw something. They might draw something flat going across. [chuckle] Now and then somebody would say, [chuckle] "Is the can in a refrigerator?" [chuckle] And my response is, "Don't complicate this." [laughter] 0:31:26.1 BB: So, I just throw that out. Most people just take that and just trace something out. And for the one who says, "Is it refrigerated? What's the timescale? Is the horizontal axis years or minutes?" I'd say, "Don't complicate it." [chuckle] 0:31:46.8 AS: "And don't ask questions." 0:31:48.9 BB: "And don't ask... " But you can bring me over and I'll ask you a question. You can ask your questions, I would just say, "Don't complicate it." So, what do we do? Everyone gets a few minutes, they draw it. I take all those transparencies that you can see through, and I put them on top of one another. And I can now hold them up to the room and people can see what I'm holding up. They can see all the different curves. 0:32:17.0 AS: Right. 0:32:18.0 BB: 'Cause they all start at the same point. And then I would say to the audience, "What do they all have in common?" Well, they all start at the same point. "What else do they have in common? What do they all have in common?" And people are like, "I don't know." Some of them are flat. They go across, the flavor doesn't change. Most of them think it goes down at some rate. 0:32:43.4 AS: Yep. 0:32:45.0 BB: Either concave down or convex down. Now and then, somebody will say it goes up and up and up; might go up and then down. But most people think it goes down over time. That's the leading answer. The second leading answer is it's constant. Up and down, rarely. So, I've done that. I've had people do that. I used to have a stack of 500 of transparencies. I used to save them and just go through them. I've done it, let's say in round numbers, 1,500 to 2,000 people. So, all the curves start at that tick mark in the 99.9999% of them either go down or go across. What's cool is, all those curves are smooth. Meaning, very smoothly up, very smoothly across, very smoothly down. Mathematically, that's called a "continuous function." And what I explained to them is, if I draw a vertical line halfway across the horizontal axis, and I look at every one of those curves, because the curves are smooth, if I draw a vertical line and how each curve, your profile and all the others go across that line, immediately to the left and immediately to the right, it's the same value because the curve is smooth. 0:34:28.3 BB: But I don't ask them to draw a smooth curve. I just say, "What do you think the flavor does over time?" They always, with three exceptions, draw a smooth curve. And so when I ask them what do they have in common, you get, "They start at the same point." Nope, that's not it. I don't know if anyone's ever articulated, "They're all continuous functions." Very rarely. So, then I explained, "They're all continuous functions. But I didn't ask you to draw a continuous function." Well, when I point out to them that three times, three times, Andrew, out of nearly 2,000, somebody drew a curve that goes starting at the tick mark, zero time, and it goes straight across halfway across the page at the same level, and then drops down to zero instantly, it's what's known mathematically as a "step function." 0:35:26.9 BB: So, it goes across, goes across, and then in zero time drops down to zero and then continues. So, three out of nearly 2,000 people drew a curve that wasn't smooth. Again, mathematically known as a step function. And each time I went up to that person and I said, and I comment on it, and each of them said, there's a point at which it goes bad. And each of them had a job in a quality organization. [chuckle] And so why is this important? Because in industry, there's this thing known as an "expiration date." What is an expiration date? It's the date past which you cannot use the chemical, the thing. And what's the assumption? The assumption is, a second before midnight on that date, Andrew, you could use that chemical, that acid, that glue, whatever it is in our product; a second before midnight, before the expiration date, you can use that. But a second after midnight, we put this tape and we call it "defective." And so I've worked with companies that are in the chemical business, and they literally have this tape. At the expiration date, we don't use it. A second before midnight, we do. And so what you have is a sense that it goes from good to bad, you know how fast, Andrew? 0:37:15.0 AS: Tick of a clock. 0:37:17.0 BB: Faster than that, Andrew. Zero time. 0:37:21.0 AS: Yeah. 0:37:22.0 BB: Zero time. And so what I ask people is, "Can you think of any phenomenon that happens in zero time?" And people call that's... "Well, the driver was killed instantly." No, it wasn't zero time. "Well, someone is shot." It's not zero time. And so what's cool is, when I ask people to describe a phenomenon, describe any physical phenomenon that happens in zero time, that we go from one location to another, from one state to another in zero time, I've not been stumped on that. Although actually, [chuckle] there are some situations where that happens. Well, the reason that's important for our audience is, that's a demonstration that expiration-date thinking is an organizational construct. It's not a physical construct. Milk goes bad fast. [chuckle] I'll admit, the expiration date on the half gallon of milk, it goes bad fast. 0:38:27.2 BB: But a second before midnight and a second after midnight, it's still the same. So, expiration-date thinking is what acceptability is about; that everything is good, equally good, but once we go across that expiration date, Andrew, then the flavor changes suddenly. And so what I used to kid people is, imagine if that really happened, right? Then we'd have this contest. I'd say, "Andrew, I had a can of Pepsi recently. And have you ever done this, Andrew? You get the can of Pepsi that has the expiration date on it. And if you listen to it at midnight, on the expiration date, you listen closely, you can hear it go from good to bad, Andrew." [chuckle] Would that be awesome? [chuckle] So, I was sharing some of this recently with our good friend, Christina, at The Deming Institute office. 0:39:31.0 AS: Yep. 0:39:32.7 BB: And it happened to be her birthday. And, so I sent her a note and I said, "Happy birthday." And I said, "So, did you change age immediately on the second you were born?" 'Cause she said, 'cause I think she said something like, "My mom reached out to me and she reminded me exactly what time I was born." And I said, "Oh," I said, "so did you feel the change in age as you crossed that?" And she said, she said, "Hi, Bill. Of course, I felt instantly different on my birthday. My mom even told me what time, so I'd know exactly when to feel different." [chuckle] Now, so here's a question for you, Andrew. Can you think of a situation where something changes from one value to another in zero time? In zero time. Again, we don't go from living to dying in zero time. The change of Pepsi doesn't go from one value to another in zero time. The quality of any product is not changing, you go from one side to the other. But can you think of anything that actually happens in zero time: Across that line, it goes from one value to another? 0:41:05.0 AS: Nope, I can't. 0:41:08.8 BB: Oh, come on, Andrew. You ready? 0:41:16.2 AS: Go for it. 0:41:20.0 BB: Did you ever hear of the German novelist, Thomas Mann, M-A-N-N? 0:41:24.0 AS: No. 0:41:25.7 BB: All right. I wrote this down as a closing thought; it may not be the closing thought. We'll just throw it in right now. So, this in an article [chuckle] I wrote for the Lean Management Journal. 0:41:38.0 AS: By the way, it's gotta be the closing thought because we're running out of time. So, perfect. 0:41:43.7 BB: Fantastic! Well, then here's my closing thought, Andrew. You want my closing thought? 0:41:47.1 AS: Do it. 0:41:48.1 BB: All right. So, from an article I wrote for the Lean Management Journal, so here's the quote. "I have witnessed industrial chemicals in full use right up to the expiration date, and then banned from use and tagged for immediate disposal with a passing of the expiration date only seconds before the chemicals were freely used. While they may rapidly sour, it is unlikely that they expire with a big bang, all in keeping with a sentiment of German novelist Thomas Mann's observation about New Year's Eve," Andrew. What he said was, "Time has no divisions to market's passage. There's never a thunderstorm or a blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when the century begins, it is only we mere mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols." So, at midnight on December 31st, a fraction of a second before midnight, we're in 2024 and we go to 2025 in zero time, Andrew. So, legally things change as you go across a line. You go from the United States to Mexico across a line of zero thickness. So, legally things across a line change instantly. 0:43:17.0 AS: Well. 0:43:18.0 BB: A coupon, Andrew, expires at midnight. [laughter] 0:43:22.7 AS: Yep. All right. Well, on behalf of everyone at The Deming Institute, I want to thank you again for this discussion. And for listeners, remember to go to deming.org to continue your journey. And if you wanna keep in touch with Bill, as he mentioned at the beginning, just reach out to him on LinkedIn. This is your host, Andrew Stotz, and I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Deming. "People are entitled to joy in work."
I've been reading with great interest some articles in Salvo magazine that have been written by Dr. Bruce Woodall. In his encounters with young patients who are questioning their sexuality and gender, Dr. Woodall carefully and compassionately addresses their questions and confusion by pointing them to God's good design for sex and gender. He writes, “I am concerned that youth are receiving a cultural message that sexual attraction is purely a subjective and private feeling experience that can legitimately go any direction, rather than something rooted in the created order and made for the purpose of procreation as possible only in the union of an XX female and XY male. Such thinking opens the door not only to dangerous sexual experimentation, but to a failure in developing the strength of character necessary for impulse control, setting youth on a path that can lead to a life lost in hedonistic nihilism or sexual addictions.” Parents, we need to tell our kids the truth.
Ein Raunen ging durch die Spielelandschaft: Electronic Arts hat kürzlich so einiges berichtet zu den Plänen für eine der allergrößten Spielemarken aller Zeiten. Die irrsinnig erfolgreiche Life-Sim-Marke Die Sims wird nicht, wie eigentlich geplant, mit einem neuen Teil 5 ausgestattet. Stattdessen soll sich auch weiterhin alles auf die veraltete Plattform Die Sims 4 beziehen. Doch damit nicht genug, auch das Spin-off My Sims rückt mehr ins Zentrum und Updates zum geplanten Kinofilm gab es auch noch. Wir haben also einiges zu besprechen im Podcast!Unser Moderator Maci Naeem Cheema quatscht mit Toni Dreßler und XY über all die Updates zu Die Sims und auch darüber, warum man sich als Die Sims-Fan auf jeden Fall freuen sollte, dass Die Sims 5 von EA "abgemurkst" wurde. Oha! Wir wünschen viel Spaß mit der Folge.
We've got a full episode this week to get some of you though family time on Thanksgiving. Put in the ear buds and enjoy some anti-social you time. Rachel kicks us off with the fascinating story of a long-long extinct plant brought back to live with an ancient seed found on an archeological dig. Only problem is, we aren't 100% sure what it is. Victoria then untangles the issue of intersex. Sure, there are people with XX or XY chromosomes, but what happens when you get different combinations than what we learned about in high school biology? Kirk rounds out this week with the unbelievably strange Undertaker Bird aka the Maribou Stork; a bizarre carrion-eating five foot tall stork that's seems like something out of a Dr Seuss book.

This Episodes Questions: Hey guys! Long time listener, first time caller! I recently took home an old(ish) Fusion3 F410. (Our department at work wanted to get rid of it.) We also have a Raise3d Pro3, BambuLab X1C and X1E, so this thing is a real pain to use in comparison. About the only good thing it has going for it is the big build volume (355x355x315), other than that there are a couple of annoyances: - Glass build plate - Auto bed-leveling is hit or miss. It only probes the 4 corners where aluminum tape is used for conductivity. - Reaaally long Bowden tube setup - Weird kevlar string used for the X-Y motion system.. but I guess it works. - Old Duet2 board and RepRap software - Discontinued by Fusion3 I volunteered to take it home because I have some ideas! I want to see if I can breath new life into it with some mods: - Magnetic PEI build plate - Direct-drive extruder on the toolhead - BigTreeTech control board and Klipper Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get the above mods done? I'm not too familiar with Voron printers, but I wonder how much I can pull from their large-format printers as far as parts, electronics used, etc. I can design/print custom part solutions if needed, and have access to sheet metal for the bed. I also have some experience with Klipper, and I think getting that properly configured will be an undertaking on its own. Thanks! Matt Hi guys,I recently stumbled over your podcast and really like the bandwidth of topics you guys talk about! Currently I own 2x K1 Max but will soon replace 1 of them by a K2 Plus. You guys are talking a lot about creating your own configuration settings for materials and such. I would really like to know how should someone approach this systematically. Let's imagine I have Creality print 5.1 ;-) which is splitting all settings on one side to a Filament setting and on the other side to the different layer height configurations. Lately I had a standard PLA - which caused problems - and ended up by changing the temperature in the Filament settings and the max speed in the layer height configuration. This solved the problem but I will never have just one setting to load for this material. So now there are actually two questions: - How to approach a perfect setting for a material (and height) systematically? - Any tips and tricks for Creality Print 5.1 on how to manage multiple settings? Thanks a lot and keep up the good work! Michael from Switzerland

Megyn Kelly is joined by Ross Tucker, co-host of "The Science of Sport" podcast, to discuss the men competing in the female boxing category at the Olympics, the dispute between the IOC and the IBA that led to this moment, how an athlete found to have XY chromosomes would not be allowed to compete in women's sports in swimming at the Olympics, how easy it would be to keep biological women safe in sports with new technologies in testing, how testosterone influences athletic performance, how the IOC's antiquated rules hurt competition, and more.More from Tucker: https://open.spotify.com/show/3g71AuFYy6FnYHEI1GO9A0 Birch Gold: Text MEGYN to 989898 & get your free info kit on goldFollow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow

Josh Shapiro, why she's now considering MN Gov. Tim Walz, the lose-lose situation Harris is now in, and more.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly— Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show. Has the Olympics gone woke? Italian female boxer Angela Carini was forced to surrender after one punch from Algerian Imane Khelif during their Olympics bout earlier this week. Khelif had previously been disqualified from participating in women's boxing competitions after testing revealed Khelif possessed XY chromosomes. Why was Khelif permitted to compete? You can order Dr. Reilly's newest book here: https://a.co/d/7aYtYwN 5:40pm- Aggregate polling collected by The Washington Post shows Donald Trump still leads in key swing states Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia—and he is tied with Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania. However, if polls are underestimating Trump's support (like they did in 2020 & 2016), WaPo's data estimates Trump is up in every swing state—and by a pretty substantial margin. PLUS, JD Vance crushes diet Mountain Dew during a Newsmax interview, Mark Zuckerberg apologizes to Trump, and did the Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker just leak Kamala Harris' VP pick?
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/02/2024): 3:05pm- On Friday, Acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe held a press conference to address the agency's failures on July 13th in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania when former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated at a campaign rally. Rowe stated: “The Secret Service takes full responsibility for the tragic events of July 13th.” He continued: “In no way should any state or local agency supporting us in Butler on July 13th be held responsible for a Secret Service failure.” 3:15pm- Secret Service Whistleblower's Damning Allegations: Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics writes: “Just days after Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe denied playing a direct role in rejecting repeated requests for added security measures and assets for former President Trump, whistleblowers have come forward refuting those claims and blaming Rowe for some of the agency's security failures that led to the July 13 assassination attempt that nearly killed Trump and left rallygoer Corey Comperatore dead and two others wounded. Other whistleblowers are coming forward citing more systemic problems with the Secret Service, the vaunted agency whose primary job is to protect presidents, vice presidents and former presidents and their families. Those deep-seated long-term problems include nepotism and other non-merit-based favoritism, lowering standards and cutting corners in hiring – including failure to pass polygraph tests and accepting past hard drug use, retaliation for voicing security and other concerns, as well as uneven disciplinary action.” You can read Crabtree's full report here: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/08/02/secret_service_whistleblowers_acting_chief_cut_security_assets__151382.html 3:40pm- Eli Lake—Reporter for The Free Press, Contributing Editor for Commentary Magazine, & Host of the Re-Education Podcast—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “President Biden: Stand Up for the Venezuelan People.” You can read the article here: https://www.thefp.com/p/biden-stand-up-for-the-venezuelan-people 4:05pm- On Friday, the Democratic National Committee announced that Kamala Harris has won enough votes from party delegates to officially become the Democrat Party Presidential Nominee. Voting began on Thursday, though the DNC will hold its convention from August 19th to 22nd in Chicago, Illinois. 4:15pm- On Friday, Acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe held a press conference to address the agency's failures on July 13th in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania when former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated at a campaign rally. Rowe stated: “The Secret Service takes full responsibility for the tragic events of July 13th.” He continued: “In no way should any state or local agency supporting us in Butler on July 13th be held responsible for a Secret Service failure.” While taking questions from reporters, Rowe awkwardly dodged whistleblower allegations that claimed he was responsible for directing cuts to threat assessment procedures used prior to staged events. 4:30pm- Brett Eagleson—President of 9/11 Justice—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss news that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, a key organizer of the September 11th terror attacks, has reached a plea agreement with the United States government and will not be sentenced to death. Eagleson also shines light on allegations that the terrorists responsible for the attacks, which left 2,976 people dead, may have received assistance from the Saudi government. You can learn more about the 9/11 Justice group here: https://www.911justice.org 4:40pm- JD Vance Mocks Josh Shapiro: Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance hilariously referred to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as someone doing a bad impersonation of former President Barack Obama. Shapiro responded by calling Vance a “phony baloney.” 5:05pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly— Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show. Has the Olympics gone woke? Italian female boxer Angela Carini was forced to surrender after one punch from Algerian Imane Khelif during their Olympics bout earlier this week.

Josh Shapiro is the betting favorite to be No. 2 on the Democratic ticket, but his involvement in a sexual harassment coverup may tank his chances. The issue has come to a head, with a little known women's rights organization urging Vice President Kamala Harris to think twice. In a headline blaring: ‘Gov. Shapiro's Failures Enabled Sexual Harassment,' the National Women's Defense League said in a statement that the Harris vetting team should ‘consider the handling of past complaints of sexual harassment inside the Pennsylvania Governor's office.' The group claims to be a nonpartisan organization dedicated to preventing sexual harassment.” You can read the full article here: https://www.thedailybeast.com/womens-group-to-harris-dump-shapiro-over-sex-case-cover-up 6:30pm- Rich is actually HERE on a summer Friday…but he reveals he may not be here next Friday… 6:35pm- While answering a question from the press for seemingly the first time in weeks, Kamala Harris botched her response to the Russian prisoner swap: "This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy." What is she talking about? 6:40pm- The group “Childless Cat Ladies for Kamala” goes viral on social media for all the wrong reasons when they sing about their love for Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/01/2024): 3:05pm- WSJ Reporter Freed as Part of Russian Prisoner Swap: Drew Hinshaw, Joe Parkinson, and Aruna Viswantha of The Wall Street Journal report: “Russia freed wrongly convicted Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich as part of the largest and most complex East-West prisoner swap since the Cold War, in which he and more than a dozen others jailed by the Kremlin were exchanged for Russians held in the U.S. and Europe, including a convicted murderer. Gershkovich and other Americans left Russian aircraft at roughly 11:20 a.m. ET at an airport in Turkey's capital, Ankara. Gershkovich was then transported to an aircraft lounge on a Turkish bus. Russia had kept the 32-year-old behind bars for more than a year on a false allegation of espionage. It sentenced him in a hurried and secret three-day trial to 16 years in a high-security penal colony.” Rich notes that it's wonderful that Gershkovich has been released but wonders why Pennsylvania school teacher Marc Fogel remains wrongfully imprisoned by Russia? You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/evan-gershkovich-free-cde745b3 3:20pm- While speaking to the White House press, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan was asked about the “imbalance” in the Biden-Harris Administration's prisoner swap agreement with Russia—with Russia receiving hardened criminals while the U.S. received wrongfully convicted citizens and journalists. 3:30pm- Paul Thacker— Investigative Journalist & former Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article for his Substack, The Disinformation Chronicle. You can find Thacker's article, “NIH Email Reveals Plan to Fool Congress With Response ‘That Doesn't Actually Answer the Questions,'” here: https://disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/nih-email-reveals-plan-to-fool-congress 3:50pm- Olympic Female Boxing: Italian female boxer Angela Carini was forced to surrender after one punch from Algerian Imane Khelif during their Olympics bout. Khelif had previously been disqualified from participating in women's boxing competitions after testing revealed Khelif possessed XY chromosomes. While appearing on Fox News, boxer Claressa Shields—a two-time Olympic gold medalist—said that while she respects everyone, she doesn't believe it's fair or safe for men to fight women in the boxing ring. 4:05pm- Harrison Fields—Former White House and Congressional Spokesperson & a Surrogate for the 2024 Trump Campaign—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Donald Trump's campaign rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It was Trump's first trip to the Keystone State since he was nearly assassinated in Butler, PA. Last night, Trump invited Tiffany Hall—a single mother of four who lives in PA—on stage to discuss how her life, and the lives of her children, have been made more difficult by Bidenomics and the resulting inflation. 4:30pm- Congress Tries to Protect Children Online: The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “The Senate on Tuesday passed the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), 91-3, and who opposes keeping children safe in the cyber wilderness? While well-intended and useful in some ways, the bill is full of land mines that the House would be wise to clean up…If parents don't want their children spending more than an hour on TikTok a day or playing video games past 8 p.m., they should have the power to stop them. But politicians always want more control, and they say it's unfair to ask parents to supervise children online. Thus the Senate bill would empower the Federal Trade Commission and 50 state Attorneys General to serve in loco parentis and police the platforms. Companies would have a legal ‘duty of care' to design their platforms to prevent harm to minors. This means the FTC could sue platforms if it says their features, including algorithms, harm minors.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-kids-online-safety-act-house-social-media-regulation-federal-trade-commission-30cfe079?mod=opinion_lead_pos1 4:40pm- Hong Kong Wins Gold in Fencing, Taunts Italy with Pineapple Pizza: John Yoon of The New York Times reports: “Losing an Olympic fencing title bout to the champion from Hong Kong was difficult enough for the Italian. Then came the pizza slander. Cheung Ka Long's triumph over Filippo Macchi of Italy in the gold medal bout in men's foil on Monday has led to a sour fallout that has spilled off the fencing strip: Pizza Hut's Hong Kong and Macao branch has offered free pineapple toppings on its pies as fans on social media praised the combination widely shunned by the losing side.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/30/world/olympics/hong-kong-italy-fencing-pineapple-pizza.html 5:05pm- On Wednesday night, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Harrisburg, PA—his first trip to Pennsylvania since he was nearly assassinated at an event in Butler, PA on July 13th. During the rally, Trump emphasized presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris' far-left policy preferences, including: a ban on fracking, abolishing ICE, and ending private health insurance. Trump also spent time discussing Harris' failed attempt to secure the U.S. Southern border. Trump promised the crowd “We're not going to let her do to Pennsylvania what she did to California. She destroyed San Francisco."—even calling out Soros-funded District Attorneys and explicitly mentioning Philadelphia. 5:25pm- Flashback: In 2016, KCAL 9—a CBS News affiliate in Los Angeles, CA—reported that Kamala Harris was accused of treating her Senate “campaign funds like a personal checking account to fund a life of luxury.” When questioned about the accusations, Harris seemingly conceded that money was misappropriated but blamed it on her campaign manager. 5:35pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Biden Administration's prisoner swap agreement with Russia. While it's wonderful that Gershkovich has been released, why does Pennsylvania school teacher Marc Fogel remain wrongfully imprisoned in Russia? Dr. Coates fears that because Russia got the better end of this trade deal, it could encourage Vladimir Putin to imprison more Americans. Plus, why isn't the American media paying closer attention to authoritarian Nicolas Maduro's seizure of power in Venezuela? Coates suspects the media is protecting the Biden-Harris Administration for having eased sanctions on Venezuela in exchange for Maduro's empty promise of free and fair elections—which clearly didn't happen. Her upcoming book is: “Winning the War on Israel: Inside the Battle for the Jewish State and America.” 6:05pm- What's So Great About Josh Shapiro?: Jonathan Chait of New York Magazine writes: “Kamala Harris has the luxury of several promising options for her vice-presidential nominee, but the discussion has focused inordinately on Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. The reason for this, I think, is that Shapiro has some weaknesses that make him distasteful to some potential Harris voters… Democrats have two main sources of concern with Shapiro, one small and one large. The small concern is that he endorsed a school-voucher plan… The more serious criticism centers on his comments on anti-Israel protests since October 7, which he has denounced.” You can read the full article here: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/josh-shapiro-vice-president-moderate-popular-governor-pennsylvania-palestine-kamala-harris.html 6:15pm- Women Don't Want Shapiro: Mary Ann Akers—Deputy Washington Bureau Chief for The Daily Beast—reports: “Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is the betting favorite to be No. 2 on the Democratic ticket, but his involvement in a sexual harassment coverup may tank his chances. The issue has come to a head, with a little known women's rights organization urging Vice President Kamala Harris to think twice. In a headline blaring: ‘Gov.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- WSJ Reporter Freed as Part of Russian Prisoner Swap: Drew Hinshaw, Joe Parkinson, and Aruna Viswantha of The Wall Street Journal report: “Russia freed wrongly convicted Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich as part of the largest and most complex East-West prisoner swap since the Cold War, in which he and more than a dozen others jailed by the Kremlin were exchanged for Russians held in the U.S. and Europe, including a convicted murderer. Gershkovich and other Americans left Russian aircraft at roughly 11:20 a.m. ET at an airport in Turkey's capital, Ankara. Gershkovich was then transported to an aircraft lounge on a Turkish bus. Russia had kept the 32-year-old behind bars for more than a year on a false allegation of espionage. It sentenced him in a hurried and secret three-day trial to 16 years in a high-security penal colony.” Rich notes that it's wonderful that Gershkovich has been released but wonders why Pennsylvania school teacher Marc Fogel remains wrongfully imprisoned by Russia?

Then Stephen A. Smith, host of The Stephen A.
