"Braxton heard it. And wanted to record it and here we are. Once again, when you have somebody who's internationally known, do your music. And then you finally hear it. You're wherever you are, whether you're in your car or at home. What does that feel like? Okay, so that feeling never gets old. It doesn't matter how big the artist is, how small the artist is. Anytime somebody wants to record a song that she wrote, it's a special moment and it never ever gets old. So you grow up in Birmingham, which I spent most of my life here. It's a country music town, but there's also a lot of classic rock elements. Absolutely. You got the southern rock part of it. And the Allman I mean, there's so many. So let's go back into your house. And I know the answer to this. That's why I'm asking. What did you grew up listening to? So I would say the first record that I really gravitated to was James Taylor. Carolina in my mind was my song. I wore it out, nonstop. It's kind of the reason I play guitar now. My dad was really instrumental in exposing me and my brother to all kinds of music from earth wind and fire, James Taylor, Hank Williams, anything. Anything that we would be in road trips with. We didn't really like it sometimes, growing up, but now that we're older, I'm so glad that he exposed this to that kind of music. You may know this, but I happen to hear James Taylor in an interview once because I grew up he was a really the first artist I had a record of. And he talked about how he wrote that song. You

"Is Harlan Allman he's the author of the 5th horseman and the new mad and we're gonna go to San Francisco check in with our friend David David. Welcome to the program. You're on with Harlan Allman and rich valdes. Yeah, thanks, rich and Harmon. He was describing these bonds and it sounded like a mixture of both civic bonds, which are municipal bonds. People, we the people on the sewer system, we the people own a library or a road system. But then there are commercial bonds for industrial parks and things like that. So if I understand right in the old days as a municipal bond got a lower rate of return because the person that bought the bond got to write off on their taxes, the amount that they invested in the local economy. So you might get 2% less than the prime rate. But she were considered civic minded because you were investing in your local community. If you're trying to describe that we want to make bonds toward commercial enterprises, there's no guarantee that the people are going to come out better for it. And that somebody would get a guaranteed rate of return over the prime rate, that sounds like something more like the corporate state rather than the civic mindedness. All right, David, thank you for your question. Harlan, go right ahead. Yeah, not at all because here you were saying this is going to be 2% over prime and the government has done that. In fact, if you take a look what they've done with inflation bonds, you're going to get 9.75%. Right now. And so there's nothing wrong with that. And this is the best way to incentivize people because it's so best way that they're going to get a return. All right. Folks who are on with Harlan ullman is the author of the 5th horseman and the new mad. Now I want you to check out a report from The Associated Press and read a foley has it.

And to have him just be the coolest kid I know, that's what I'm most proud of. Final question, fill in the blank. The key to my success in music, whether that be rock or country, you name it, has been what? Persistence. I want to say thank you so much for being our guest on the country music success stories podcast. Thank you so much. Thank you. I'm JC Don valeris, your music city mentor, and that was the deeply inspiring story of H Jack Williams. A man who has never given up on reaching for his dreams and goals. If you're an aspiring artist, you've probably wondered how to connect with the right people who can mentor and courage and help you get from point a to point B in your career. H Jack is the ultimate example of how having the right people around you can lead to success. I asked him what his advice would be for a young artist and his answer was simple. You have knocked on hotel doors, pulled over and parking lots to try to make connections with people in the music industry and ended up getting mentored by so many of the biggest artists in the music industry as a whole. If a young artist comes up to your hotel room, knocks on the door, walks in, what piece of advice do you give them? How do you mentor them? I try to let them know. First of all, I work with them. And second of all, to when they asked me what the most thing that you never know, I always tell them the same thing is, don't take no for an answer. Ever. Don't ever take no for an answer and don't stop believing in yourself. I mean, everybody told me I couldn't do what I was doing. People tell me now. I can't do it. I'm doing, I'm trying to play the opry right now. I'm trying, I've got my team trying to get me to play, I guess, and I have had three or four people gonna love right. I'm going to do it. So the real question is, how do you attract these a listers in a way that you might find yourself in their presence with the chance to knock on their hotel door? Here are my tips on how to put yourself in a position to meet them. Tip number one try reaching out. I can't tell you how many artists and industry people have come into my own life simply by me reaching out to connect or by me responding to their reaching out. Just like any other business, it's all about relationships. If you have a mutual connection to somebody, send them a DM on social media, shoot off an email introducing yourself and you just might be surprised when you receive a response. With that being said, don't bombard anyone with messages. Keep it straight and keep it simple. And if you don't hear back, don't consider at the end. Just consider the fact that it might not be meant to be right now. Tip number two, continue to build your brand on social media so that you attract the right people. Be friendly, interact and find creative ways to tie in the people that you hope to someday work with. Maybe this means dueting with an artist on TikTok or responding to a Q&A, or even asking a question during a live stream. Do whatever it takes to connect with them in an authentic way. Tip number three don't be afraid to introduce yourself. For example, if you happen to be at a writer's round or an industry event in Nashville, walk up to the person you really want to connect with and introduce yourself. Have your elevator pitch ready and let them know how happy you are to have the chance to meet them. Don't gush or be in over the top fan, just be you and you might make a connection that sticks. Always remember the music business is like any other business, making Friends and staying connected is key to your success. We are all here to help one another. So remember, when you're in a position to turn around and help the next person in line, don't hesitate. We are all part of the chain and must all do our part. More wisdom you can use from JC Don valerius, your music city mentor. Inspired by the advice of H Jack Williams.

"Take all the advice from all these mentors? Even all the way down to the story that you just told me and then just build up your confidence as people said, hey, you can do this? I think it was the guys in the beginning. It was the Ken Hensley, the Richie heavens and the Peter gabriels. I think in the very beginning they instilled a thing in me that said, don't stop. No matter what, it took us all these years, it'll take you all these years. And every time I have gotten to a point where something's knocked me down hard and stuff still does. You know, I still chase everything every day and I still get told no and a lot of circumstances and it'll knock me down. I'll go down hard and then I'll just get back up, try it again, you know, a different way or if that's not obtainable. At least now I've learned that if I can't go through that door, I can't go through that door. Forget about it. Let's try that one. When you hear one of your songs, how does that feel? Do you turn it up? Do you still get excited about it? I was on cloud 9 when I heard one of my songs and Yellowstone. I play it for everybody. I get it set right on that scene so when every time somebody comes around, watch this. And there's something also about not just hearing your song, but then seeing it with a visual, right? Probably the best thing ever was, for me, the best thing I've ever seen done was Kevin and I wrote Kevin and Troy Johnson and we brought a song called won't stop loving you. That's on this record.

"Just before the bullets fly great was such a great blue singer. I mean, for a songwriter for me, I get a joy out of two things here in two people, either singing the lyric that I wrote or a melody that I wrote. And it watched Greg Allman seem something that Warren Haynes and I wrote. And Greg named his record after it and I went on the road with him and got to be great friends and that song became a life of its own. It went into a movie with my first sink, went to a movie called Reno gage, blue diamond Phillips, and Kiefer Sutherland, sun seals, who was a awesome blues artist out of alligator records. He cut it. And then he put it on his greatest hits album. And then coco Montoya cut it. And put it on his album. I think the biggest moment I ever had, but that song was I played puckett's, I was playing out there last year. With some songwriter Friends of mine and we looked out in the crowd and I said, there's Bill Belichick. There's my Boston connection. There you go. And I went, what's he doing here? And so we played, I ran over to him. His girlfriend said Linda Holliday. They introduced themselves and I said, I want to get your autograph. And he said, well, I want yours. He said the feelings mutual and I went, what are you talking about? He said that song that you closed with just before the bullets fly. He said I have that album hanging on my office wall. And I went, well, this is Cisco, so I met the greatest coach in the world, and he loved my song, so that was a great moment for me. There's an art to the co write. How does that work for you? Are you a good co writing partner for somebody? How does it go? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I always turn the room over to the other guy, you know? I think the best things you can do in a co write is try not to be a song bully, which there are a lot of. And especially when you're writing with an artist, I think the one thing I learned is write what the artist wants. Even if you don't like it, because if you write something the first time whether you don't like it, you let them write whatever they want. They're going to write what you again. And or later, you're going to get something good. A few years ago, you started going to singer songwriter night, singing your own songs. I read that I think it was either Roger Daltrey or Pete Townsend who told you always get the best singers to demo your songs, right? And this time you separated from that. And now you're writing your own songs singing your own songs. That must have been very brave of you at that moment. Did you have to sort of just let that go and say, this is me, and this is how I sound, and this is my song. Well, that's how I started out. I started out doing that with Richie havens. And he always wanted me to be the artist then. But I just couldn't get my confidence up with my voice. I didn't like my voice. I hated my voice. And so I just felt like it'd be better if I had in the shadows and let somebody else sing. Adam box was the one that brought it. I mean, he was the one that said, what are you talking about? I love your voice. It's so unique. And so he started working with me. And once he started working with me, bringing it out of me and helping me build up my company. And then all of a sudden, all kinds of people started saying they like my voice and I was going, wow, I don't know. I mean, I've never had anybody tell me that before. I still find it weird. I figured out what I like about it now. And do you like about it?

"Of course, we took plenty of pictures in the lobby. So be sure to follow us at country music success stories. As JC and I prepped for this interview, we just couldn't help but be amazed at his career. Nearly 50 years of writing songs and making music with icons like Richie havens, the who, Uriah heap, Greg Allman, and most recently, Kevin Costner. For his band, modern west, and for his hit TV series, Yellowstone. But what is even more amazing is that Jack is still alive to tell his story because he was so badly abused as a child. Well now, he's 70 years old, and this renaissance man is experiencing an incredible second act as a recording artist, and you just can't help but root for his continued success. H Jack Williams middle name should have been persistence because he never, ever gave up. You know, I still chase everything every day and I still get told no. And a lot of circumstances and it'll knock me down. I'll go down hard and then I'll just get back up, try it again, you know, a different way or if that's not obtainable. At least now I've learned that if I can't go through that door, I can't go through that door. Forget about it. Let's try that one. We settled into a conference room at anthem entertainment and two hour delight. Jack brought us a dozen eggs from his home in the countryside. His latest album is called halfway to hell, and it's pretty raw. There are ten songs that he co wrote, including two with Kevin Costner. You can hear the pain in every word and every note, and I wondered if writing these songs was a conscious decision, an effort to just free himself by letting all the heartache out. I don't think that was a conscious decision. I just think that it was in the beginning of COVID. I was like everybody else stuck on the couch watching TV. And I finally decided I couldn't do that. I watched everything Netflix had. I was like, burned out. So I find a way to my studio. And I wrote a song, started one more day, actually. And I talked to Adam box and I said, let's do a record. I had done an EP called already dead, and there was some really sincere stuff there, and I just felt like I wanted to go ahead and let it all out. And I'm still doing that. I don't find it to be a task. It's interesting about the pandemic, and we've interviewed many artists who had some of their greatest aha moments during the pandemic because they had to come in off the road. This crazy schedule, all of a sudden everything settles down. And you dig down deep and sometimes that's where the songs are. When you give yourself a moment to breathe, there's a song called beat me again. Opening line when I was a boy, you whipped me like a slave, and I dreamed about pissing on your grave. I went out to California to see Kevin and do some stuff with anthem out there and I met with her and we had lunch at bob's big boy. Now listen, we had never written together, and he said, tell me about a period in your life, and I did. And we went back to his house, and he wrote that lyric. He pretty much wrote the first draft of it. And then we chopped it up later on, but all

You look at it and you think Dwayne Allman anthology, like he wasn't a solo artist, but what they did was, what the record company did was, they put together all the psalms that he played on with other groups. You know, what a lot of people are under the understanding that they think that the eat a peach album was really kind of a testimonial to Duane Allman because he had crashed his motorcycle into a peach truck.

That band had a share of tragedy, but yet they rolled on and on and on. The other thing that you have to give props to and respect about the Allman brothers, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, that band rolled on and on and on. They never really changed their sound. They stuck to their guns. They had a rotating cast of characters that played in that band, whether it was Derek trucks, a Warren Haynes, and a lot of guest people that actually played in that band. And that was a band that even in the end, they would go to New York and they would play the Beacon theater and they would play like ten nights in a row and sell out every single night. Yeah.

Thank you for joining me in cybersecurity interviews. How are you today. I am doing wonderful. Doug how're you. I'm doing great so our are things in the beautiful middle part of the country. I is i to in colorado. But has milwaukee doing these days. Gosh we are about to get our first real dumping of snow at least over your recording. This by the time at arizona probably have had tons. But i'm actually gonna go get gas for the snowblower the last place. I really got to travel and speak at. Wasn't milwaukee in january flew in and out. It was gonna be a one day speaking thing in you know anybody. I should have known better having in law that those up all my family from the midwest. North chicago and ohio january. You're not getting in and out of anywhere in the midwest without some type of delay in my you know my arrogance of that being about a three day delay. They kept cancelling how to drive from milwaukee to chicago and it was a whole thing but i got to see the lake. Cresting waves as the snow is blowing in milwaukee so it was very interesting. Clear that you can get out of chicago easier than milwaukee usually milwaukee. Is you know. We're kind of like canada south with that. As long as they can. Keep the runway clear enough to get a plane on it though. Fly planes out. But if it gets bad enough i know they. They've shut down a few times. Speak that i mean you you were you were you know. Have built a name and a brand by traveling and speaking. Do you miss the travel aspect this year of getting out there and being on stage like you have no idea of feeling i have an idea. Trust me on the wall. I went into twenty twenty expecting all this international travel. I just changed jobs. And and it was part of that job. Was supposed to include a lotta travel to international conferences and even our our locations and yet none of that happened i did. Rsa and then besides tampa was scheduled to go to singapore and sydney in the two weeks following and in between those two. They shut down all travel. And yeah i've been. I've been here in my home office which i feel guilty saying suffering is pretty pretty awesome office but yeah i i cannot wait to get back on a plane. Fact even allman i have been talking about how a bunch of us are going to go find someplace to all traveled together. Just because it's we've all missed it for so long that he's actually somebody. I gotta hit out back channeled him. Because i'm trying to raise the next level of hackers and my daughter who's ten and her friend. The condition was they were able to go get the leftover halloween candy at their at my friend's daughters house. If they can get through the lock. I said cool. I'll teach guys lock picking. And i'll get you a signed copy of the lock picking guy so i try to get them to learn about lock. Picking it sucks not being out there and kind of seeing the whole community. What drove to obviously not not a wallflower. You wanna get out there and talk. What drove you to kind of get on stage. It's it's not something that's always a done by folks in our industry where where they can somewhat be a little bit more reserved. Yes so it's kind of funny. Because i've been speaking at conferences since two thousand fourteen and but i never really got was ever really serious about it like i do one here and there and it was a lot of it was because i was working in a consulting role. And it's good for you know when you're consultant especially it's good for your organization to have people out there speaking and i found right away the first time i did it like that was actually a lot of fun But then the more. I did it the more i started to realize like i just i i really you know. I've got a lot of ideas. I want to share and i love doing this because i've always been believe it or not. You know you you talk about me being out there and it's like i was very socially awkward like i was the person i go to a conference and be completely alone in a sea of thirty thousand people at defcon. Right which i mean. That's not unusual. People do that all the time but even smaller conferences like i was just never very good at starting conversations with people and so when i would speak it was a whole different world because you'll people would recognize you from having been on stage in an it. Stop you in the hall to ask you questions about what you talked about or whatever or just to thank you and it was such a great icebreaker because now i could get in. I could have conversations with people in the hallway about all this stuff that we were passionate about and we could. We could share ideas. And that's what conferences are all about to

Who Was Karl Marx, and What Were His Philosophies?
"With glance at Karl. Marx's curriculum vitae says a lot economist philosopher journalist sociologist political theorist historian. Add to that socialist communist in the original meaning of the word and revolutionary and. That's just a start. Karl Heinrich Marx was one of the most respected minds of the nineteenth century. His meditations on how societies work and how they should work have informed and challenged humans for more than one hundred and fifty years. Yet to the uninitiated marks may be only a bushy mugged symbol of revolution the father of communism the hater of capitalism. He's considered by many especially in the West as the man whose ideas spurred authoritarian communist regimes in Russia China and beyond that again is selling the man short. Because it's not entirely right in his book Karl Marx. A nineteenth century life author. Jonathan Sperber wrote viewed positively. Marks is a far seeing profit social and economic developments an advocate of the emancipatory transformation of state and society from a negative point. Marks is one of those most responsible for the pernicious and features of the modern world. If nothing else marks was a keen observer of the human condition he was deep finger with bold ideas about how to make life better we spoke with Lawrence Talmon who teaches a course on marks and philosophy at the University of Chicago and is the CO author of a chapter on Marx and Marxism in the rootlets. Handbook of philosophy and Relativism domine said Marx himself was first and foremost kind of scientist. He was a student of reality but he himself struggled throughout the course of his career. How exactly to put his ideas to politics. It's important to note that despite his one time lofty standing in what was then the Soviet Union marks was born in tier in the Kingdom of Prussia in eighteen eighteen. That's what's now known. As the Rheinland area of western Germany. After the failed German Revolution of Eighteen. Forty eight marks fled to London where he eventually died in eighteen eighty three. He's buried beneath a large tomb in London's highgate cemetery. Inscribed with the words workers of all lands unite but marks grew up privileged the son of well off and liberal parents in an ancient town that had been racked for decades before his birth by Warren Revolution that upheaval cultural religious and political shaped his parents and was a big part of young. Marx's upbringing later marks attended universities studying law and philosophy where he became engaged to and later married a Prussian baroness it was well studied philosophy and law that marks introduced the works of German Philosopher Yard Ville Helm Friedrich. Hegel whose ideas he used to later. Form his take on Communism Marx began a career. As journalists early twenties writing for radical newspapers in Cologne and Paris the route he consorted with other liberal minded philosophers and by his mid twenties met and collaborated with one of the major influences in his life. Friedrich Engels it was angles who convinced marks that societies working class would be the instrument to fuel revolutions and bring about a more fair and just society in eighteen forty eight the to published a pamphlet. That would be the basis for a new political movement. The communist manifesto in eighteen eighty three after Marx's death engels summed up the main idea in the communist manifesto like this quote that economic production and the structure of society of every stoorikhel epoch necessarily arising therefrom constitute the foundation for the political and intellectual history of that epoch the consequently ever since the dissolution of the primeval communal ownership of land. All history has been a history of class struggles of struggles between exploited and exploiting between dominated and dominating classes at various stages of social evolution. That this struggle however has now reached a stage where the exploited and oppressed class. The proletariat can no longer emancipate itself from the class which exploits and oppresses it. The bourgeoisie without at the same time forever. Freeing the whole of society exploitation oppression and class struggles domine explained marks was always concerned to understand the real underlying causes of social phenomenon the events and institutions that kind of shape the social world marks wanted to kind of dig down beneath the appearances and see what was really going on early on in his career. He thought that the best arena to do that in was philosophy and then as time went on he transitioned more into the social sciences. What's most important about marks is that he very much had a kind of engineering mentality about society he wanted to know. What makes it work? And how if we want to change it do we change it. What are the levers that we have to pull? Marx's eighteen forty seven economics work capital a critique of political economy a takedown of capitalism that decried the exploitation of the working class crystallized debate one that continues today between the West's ruling social and economic theory capitalism and Marx's idea of communism too many. It's a fight that hits rich versus poor bourgeoisie versus proletariate ruling class versus workers. And it's even more than that to those who debate it. It's right versus wrong. An argument about the best path to a perfect society. But that of course is very simplistic and doesn't get Marx's thinking right the Allman said above all else the association the people have with marks is that he some Utopian Pie in the sky dreaming a perfect world that is free of all the nastiness we live in now really that couldn't be further from the truth. Marks had a kind of engineering mindset. He was probably of all the major figures in the history of political thought the most practical the most realistic he was the most concerned with what is really possible. In the real world what marks to find as communism boiled down society that produces goods only for human need not for profit and in which there is no master slave royalty peasants owner worker relationship and therefore no need to overthrow. Anybody certainly clashes with the materialism of capitalism. But it's a long way from what many today see is communism to after the Russian revolution of nineteen seventeen and later under Joseph Stalin's reign some of Marx's ideas along with those of Ladimir Lennon were used to build a new empire. Millions were killed along the way similarly millions died in China under the rule of Mao. Zedong's Communist Party domine acknowledged. It's hard to even talk about what marks out of communism without dragging in all the weight from Soviet Russia and Communist China and obviously a lot of people hold marks responsible for that or -tarian rules like Stalin's and malls were not what Marx had in. Mind it's important to note too. That Marx did not hate capitalism. He actually saw some virtue in the system. He saw it as a necessary precursor to communism and he envisioned some of the technological challenges automation unseating workers for example. That are true today. Domine explained marks was very impressed with the kind of progressive character of capitalism by forcing people from all different walks of life into the same workplaces capitalism. Kind of breaks down. The old divides between communities and so things like race and gender religion. Divide people less. The more people are forced to see each other as equals in the workplace. Marks recognized marveled at the economical and technical growth the capitalism begets and saw it as an improvement from previous societies. Later in life. Domin says mark suggested that a growth capitalism might be a way to move toward communism instead of all out revolution but he still saw communism with no master slave dynamic as the end goal in that way and in others. Marx's idea of communism was far from the atrocities that have been committed in the name of communism elsewhere and his ideas are still perhaps strangely many a beacon and a search for a better way of life in that this practical and deep thinker of the nineteenth century still has relevance in today's world. Dahlman said marks was so committed to giving a kind of rational criticism of everything not just the enemy but to himself in everything he was willing to criticize the old modes of life and show how capitalism kind of improved on them but he was also willing to criticize capitalism and show how we could foresee improvement coming in the future. That is still hopeful vision.

Billy Almon
"My name is billy allman and I am a biology inspired storyteller and designer so I look at organisms in nature I get an understanding of how they innovate how they have an innovative and I look for opportunities to apply that to challenges at the human scale. Wow now I regret to say I I heard about you last year at the blackened design conference that goes on at Harvard Graduate School of design. You are on this panel with actually with two other people who've been on the show are Emelin Ciano and Jim Rome Harris. Yes so I know that the panel was about like equity and justice in technology and media. Remember you gave this example about a slime mold that I thought I was sitting in the back. Like wow that is really dope. How would you heard about the event before you spoke there? I've been trying to go to the event trying to attend the event since the first conference and my wife. Actually told me about opportunity when they started looking for speakers for the last conference so she actually reached out to them and said. Hey check out this guy named Billy Allman. You might be good for your conference and then they reach out to me with an inquiry about participating. Nice. Yeah I I mentioned before we saw record how your wife had. She reached out to me to like years and years ago about starting podcast. So that's dope that. She's been proactive in helping out like that. She's the most self actualized person I've ever met. It does wonders for my career. So I read where you refer to yourself as a bio mimicry advocate and practitioner. So of course I have to ask I feel like you probably get asked this on every podcast but what is bio mimicry? And how do you use it in your life? So bio mimicry comes from this term called biomet nieces which translates to imitate life and essentially. It's the idea of turning to nature for inspiration on how to solve problems if you think about the world in which we live in every single organism on this planet whether human or bacteria or mammals all of us have to deal with the same conditions of sunlight cyclical processes ebbs and flows in in resources competition. Environmental Factors that. Play into how we live our lives. And so when you think about the fact that we all experience these things and we think about the fact that a lot of these organisms have been around longer than we have. You start to see that. There's all of these existing methods and strategies for solving problems that exist in the natural world. And so what bio mimicry does is we study these organisms and then we find kind of the underlying tactic or strategy or function. That's at play at how these organisms are solving their problems. And then we apply that to parallel problems that humans face to give you an example. Velcro is an example of the Bio mimetic process at play the designer of Velcro. He was a Swiss gentleman who would take his dog for walks right and every time that he would come home he would find these little spherical seeds attached to the furthest dog so he took the seeds under his microscope and saw that there was these curly little hooks on the end of of each strand of the seed and he realized that this is a great way that this seed attached to animals curly little hooks and that became the inspiration for Velcro. So if you think about how velcro looks when you look at it up close. It's all of these little strands and curly strings on one side with I wish counterpart on the other so velcro came from the strategy of the C. Which is called a bird seed to attach to animals? In order to have the animals carry the seeds to locations where they might potentially grow. Oh interesting yeah. I've heard I've heard something about that with velcro now. Now there's I guess there's different types of Velcro. Now where the I guess the matting isn't as plush or the hooks aren't as deep but it is still based off of that same premise. Of of what you've seen in nature you're able to recreate that in like an industrial setting exactly so given that example like I feel like that's something we probably as kids just running around and field and stuff have like kind of instinctively picked up. You know you run around and you've got grass and all kinds of stuff stuck to your pants and your shirt and your hair or anything like that. When did you sort of I learn about bio mimicry? When did you? I know this was something that you were into. I actually came across by mimicry as result of Hurricane Katrina and by that I mean after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. I was architecture student at Howard University at the time and after the storm hit and after the manmade disaster that followed there was a lot of students. Obviously not only at Howard but around the world but at Howard. There are a lot of students who wanted to do something. Just how can we help about five hundred students from how university drove down to New Orleans and to the Gulf coast to just find ways to volunteer to help during our spring break and singing? What took place up. Close had like the most transformative experience. It was the most transformative experience I've ever had. Just witnessing you know people who look like you people who look like me in the conditions that that that disaster left that community and so as an architecture student I was just curious like how do we avoid this from happening. How do we create spaces and communities where this event is not taking place and especially knowing that climate change is not going away that you know especially coastal cities and people In low income neighborhoods are going to be? The most affected are the most affected by climate change. How do we prevent these kinds of things from happening again? And in in trying to find answers to that question I came across this book called Bio Mimicry. Innovation inspired by nature which was written by a woman named Janine Banias and after I read that like everything for me change. It became my my design philosophy. Nice so once you learn the well hold on. Let me switch gears a little bit because you mentioned climate change and here in Atlanta. We have a Museum of design here and twenty twenty. The theme that they have for this year is the Year of climate change. Actually by the time this episode airs there will actually be an exhibit there about bio mimicry is titled Learning From Nature. The future of design was developed in collaboration with the Bio Mimicry Institute. I'm really interested in checking that out because I heard about that right around the same time that I was at blackened design and I was like I need to learn more about this because the examples that you were giving during that panel talk really kind of inspired me to think about what are ways. That designers could possibly use nature for design for technology for creating more equitable futures. Which will get to you know later on in the conversation but I wanted to to mention that. So let's switch gears here a bit because you talked about Howard University so I wanna go back a little bit further than that. Where did you grow up? I was a military Brat. Growing up my dad was in the army and my mom worked for the Department of Defense and so I was born in Germany. I think we move back to the states when I was gonNA say like one. Maybe two bounced around several states. Texas lived in Georgia. A little bit lived in Maryland before I went to Howard lived in South Korea and then back to Germany. So just all over the place which was a fun experience especially when you get to come across kids who have like friends that they've known since they were like in diapers. And you know I have a new best friend every two years so that was always a fun experience growing up with all of that travelling in like seeing the country seeing the world. How did that shape you creatively? Oh man made everything possible. It told me that there's more options than I think right away. And and it kind of had all these different flavors to you know the mix of how you can create something new by just introducing a new or different perspective on what you're trying to do. Does that make sense now? That makes sense because it's sort of like that added. You can't be what you don't see. Yeah so like the fact that you're able to see all of these different experiences different people different cultures etc like that all feeds into. You know just kind of who you are. Yeah and I gotTa tell you if there was one thing that really stuck out to me about the experience of all that travelling as a as a young kid was just the value of exposure. I mean like you say you don't know what you don't know once you're exposed to something it just reintroduce you to another level of possibilities right so I can't emphasize enough.

Softbank's Vision Fund 2 stalls as key backers opt out
"Meanwhile we've got a real focus on softbank's earnings came out overnight and there is a question just about their governance structure the relationship is going to be with Elliott management wishes took an important purchase of shares in softbank but really for a lot of investors the focus is on the vision fund which has been in one of the biggest drivers evaluations and silicon value it posted a loss a two billion dollar loss in the quarter how big of a deal is this at a time when there are a lot of questions about the we works and you know and and some of the other companies Airbnb which is gonna IPO later this year and and had a loss in the fourth quarter well I think it's fundamentally gets to Elliott's problem itself banks say your alley at having now taken a three billion dollars stake it's sort of view is that of division fun is that you're very small part of softbank's actual business and yes it consumes a hundred percent of the oxygen that whenever we talk about softbank we don't we seldom you name mention his name without mentioning the vision found in the same breath the reality in the most of its valuation concert steak and and Ali Baba it also has publicly stakes in it's sort of a part of us carrier in Japan's softbank easy sign my ball carry it in Japan it also has stakes in you know Allman a bunch of other companies and the value of their stakes is perhaps two hundred seventy billion dollars that is significantly more than the act the value of softbank itself and yet did one of the and and and the one the reasons for that discount is actually because people look at the the the hate cops and the snafu of of of we what and they think of next this company has Sirius corporate governance issues what moron and telling us how do you know if people are listening we thank them for listening all the time rate Alex do they have any transparency on this this massively opaque company I mean does anybody really know what softbank's accounting is known and that's what I'm increasingly someone says something to his feet hurt but on but ultimate that is one of the things that rule say complaining about the good will the bed will the LX web will whatever you want to call it does anybody really understand the intangibles involved here it certainly a big office into one of the criticisms is that a lot of people within softbank of people came out of Deutsche Bank I'm responsible for structuring a lot of the the needed financial products they had in the run up to the crisis and the people that if people have been quick to draw comparisons between the two that's why Ellie is also for better transparency I think isn't Saudi fat to mom do you know there is one criticism is that the it for argument's sake let's not quite clear that they do this but an occasion is that they you know you invest in a company what is valued at billion and you throw in two hundred million to an eighteen months later you invest in the same boat company at a four billion valuation but you any during fifty million all of a sudden a hundred fifty million valuation one fifty million investment has become part four hundred fifty million in book value on this pretty hard now the something would offend this by saying well there are other investors to invest the same valuation at a later date but it doesn't always smell right and that has some seems to pop common stock in some of these investments not least we work and Elliott sang body just constant on the main business use of capital to buy back the note on the pin the value of the property traded stock you have in Japan and that's a fall but a way of generating turns your existing investor base time adjuster this happy unrealized gain on investments at the vision find shrink a five point two billion dollars which is less than a third of the paper profit that softbank every six months ago those who have thank you

of the reasons that Japan Cup win was you know very very special to me every will dive into wings a little bit later on but he started you apprenticeship with Rawson but Beth ninety seven you kicked in where you're a natural joke no it wasn't very far from it does natural horsemen natural raw reading how law I can remember the Pony Club from before school up until I define and up until the I just started right shorting really and at the idea of wells Lawson's windows fief doing in the school holidays and fortunately my parents had all the allman had a little bit of an association with Billy Ass Browse through through the eyes of when Neil Molly was trying and bill used erode from a grandfather father and he's waffling and trying to of course and was the leading trainer in the Central District at the Are Yeah I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to go with them and having billy as mentor and a God was instrumental in more development as a jockey because as I said it was very unnatural to me because I'd never had really any any experience in the professional sort of horseracing had Google's at the guy was fosters you could when you're young fellow on great holes for night absolutely tight control and bought with you but you can learn so much experiences remember I began with one and let it rip you thought all that adrenaline at the I was actually in the Paddick Moore other with the main and I didn't quote now what else in for to be honest when we winner in we've done a favorite a half pice together but we'd never really let one go yeah I'll never actually forget that the win going through the skull Cap and was a bit a little bit fraud to be honest but you'd left the Albanian edgy he was distant well he sort of went off before he saw Moore horse teams but all wasn't quite ready for the experience as a bit yeah also bit it goes through but it was something that certainly got more adrenaline going and students today who'd you love who'd you love growing up we gotta have role models to simulate the why we want to go about it and get your first period Jodi get your new helmet and then all of a sudden you rod in trawls as an apprentice then you get your ticket who is sitting back on the couch just white and have that I the rice is in Washington going to be that jockey wouldn't be Rice's Darren Beadman Darren beadman and billy I suppose when I was in Ba'athist but before I started my apprenticeship Darren and shine door were dominating the group uh-huh and I were the two that really captured more attention what was it a bad behavior in that you loved just the just he's strengths and he's consistency but as I said it as a four thousand fifteen year old I wasn't really paying attention local would these days but I guess the success and the fact that he in China just come on the best drawers and it was just tit for tat as to who got on the best one and I almost took it in turns chemically c'mon babe and left Android and slip it used to run a little bit short on up as underneath the chain the at the flower hey the billy Oughta look yeah I wasn't as attracted to the show on the white shine Reuters posed Darren because it familiar to say no little actual but he's a hall of Famer and he was very effective at it but familiar personally it was something that I couldn't see myself emulating Iraq and foot knee on Huey a lot of the guys Roy with the bull the Atto side that's Moi that's more for the ball at the guys across the Bolo Tie and that's the that's it what you'd like to rob with your foot running wise APP Well to be honest when I'll start to do that that's had billy road and that's sad download to in the early days I think he ended up running these telling you towards the end but certainly when all star he had full for me on but was always instructed Nelin certain terms they're all Mahfoud foot me on and that's exactly what I did and when I moved to see me after being to successfully easy and buses Leeann and billy we moved to Sydney in all of these more chance to develop into one of the big voice started drawing McCowan the on how to hold stumble was also Tallinn's actually that it just stumbled at the four hundred million American rain we can call Aubert's Hayden are truly believe foof four foot in the on or wouldn't have fallen off it so after six weeks on the saw lawns mirthless six weeks hurt mnay that welcome back back in and of never changed that was it suits you and your stall he say you move from the country the city it's a big big landscape China for you and fast hard but um took two thousand and nine nine year two thousand nine hundred eighty nine hundred ninety nine I should say in two thousand dollars rising seasons in two years year apprenticeship you become

Quinton in done in Raleigh June nineteen on as it was you just said and I had a great deal of experience but harm you had no country climbing provincial climbing to three kilo climate the city nail was the beneficiary of system charged with offenses which split the categories up to country provincial and city so a regained three kilo alantic provincials and obviously sustain the three kilo climate the country so that that guy I mean eighty winners decline that I wouldn't have had well it didn't have one on issues moved to Sydney so that that really opened the door for opportunity the deformity and yeah I'll think road at provincial Saturday meetings Kimmel Newcastle for four weeks once we got started within the ninety nine season and on the road three three trebles onto doubles and then of course the big boys went to Melbourne yep more opportunity in this in Sydney and had a great season winning the apprentices total exterior winners I think you might be able to help these sad Answer these questions what did we put apprentice on more Victoria and not in Sydney I think the cease to be different into the you've got more dominant China Zied me was even the case back then you had waterhouse and hawks dominating so if it suited them to use an apprentice I would but I tend to use the jockeys and that same sort of dominance has continued on in Sydney with a small number of China's dominating but also the realities the apprentices system in Victoria is far better than UCF wild north thing as much as writing ucs while I was gonNA heading every area that's one area that
