On this episode of the podcast, Ryan talks to Malcolm Gladwell about his new book The Bomber Mafia (which is an exploration of how technology and good intentions collided in the heat of the second world war), their mutual love of endurance sports, the critical infrastructure that surrounds art and culture, and more.
Malcolm Gladwell is the author of five New York Times bestsellers including The Tipping Point, Blink, and Outliers. He is also the co-founder of Pushkin Industries, an audio content company that produces the podcasts Revisionist History, which reconsiders things both overlooked and misunderstood, and Broken Record, where he, Rick Rubin, and Bruce Headlam interview musicians across a wide range of genres. Gladwell has been included in the TIME 100 Most Influential People list and touted as one of Foreign Policy’s Top Global Thinkers.

On note of people not showing appreciation, I'm guilty of that as well. So I'm reversing it now. Mr Malcolm your book outliers change my attitude about mastery, coupled that with mastery by Robert Greene well let's just say my successes in business are attributed to you guys, so THANK YOU SO MUCH. As for you Ryan, I don't even know where to begin, obstacles is the way, ego is the enemy, stillness is the key, daily stoic etc. It's not an exaggeration to say I've memorized every single chapter and lines in your books because of how often I listen, read, review, analyze and apply those wisdom, coupled that with Mr William Irvine's a guide to the good life, my entire philosophy of life is attributed to you guys and for that I'M ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!

Having read and loved books and podcasts by Holiday and Gadwell, this episode is a true gem. Kicking myself for not going to Holiday's bookstore when I was an Austinite from 1996 to 2023. Next trip home it will be a must.

Wow - such a great episode! I do think that the "thinking time" and when you are "sharpest during the day" varies from person to person. Or even the locations, etc. Gladwell can write in coffee shops, while Ryan needs his space to be clear. It underlined for me not necessarily that these are rules and best possible configurations are very personal, and each one of us needs to home in and identify when we feel sharpest and most focused and really leverage this to our advantage. Love all the insight provided in this channel and in this interview. Thanks again.

Incredibly ironic. One of my college professors gave me the book Outliers at the end of the semester one year. We had a class at an arboretum and have students the choice to do tree identification or run this loop. Well I really admired this professor and wasn’t the brightest pupil when it came to coding (the class was systems design/development) but I admired my professor because he taught us how to think rather than just the material. So I trained for this day so I could impress him. Leading up to the day he kept saying how his daughter held the record time for running the loop. I’ll never forget his reaction when I crossed the finish line and he looked at the stop watch. He had to do a double take and said “wow that was uh, actually pretty fast…” I think he was disappointed that I had surpassed his daughter lol

Generals Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur and Henry “Hap” Arnold and Admirals William Leahy, Chester Nimitz, Ernest King, and William Halsey are on record stating that the atomic bombs were either militarily unnecessary, morally reprehensible, or both."

What are some books that best explain "the art of storytelling"?. I would google it but I think it would be best to ask in a space like this, especially with this worldwide connection that you all enjoy

@Browny84 2 жыл бұрын

I would also like an answer to this one. The closest I can think of are The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp and The Artists Way by Julia Cameron, neither really address storytelling specifically though and focus more on general creativity. Steven Pressfield is another author along such lines, but also doesn’t fit the question so perfectly.

I’d recommend the podcast You Are a Storyteller by Jesse Bryan and Brian McDonald! It’s not only about storytelling but also about the function of stories in society and in the lense of how it applies to all areas of life, as well goes into more technical parts in structures and the art of it. Bryan McDonald has also written the book “Invisible Ink” which is about writing stories too!

Ryan, I’d really love to see you interview more people with opposing viewpoints. I think it’ll make your content shine a bit more and we’d get to see your stoic mantras in play against people who disagree with you to just about the same passionate values that you stand on. Otherwise it just feels like an echo chamber. A very dangerous place to be.

"No one was more impassioned in his condemnation than Leahy, Truman’s chief of staff. He wrote in his memoir “that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender …. In being the first to use it we had adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages.”

By now we all know somone who either has regret or is managing a bad side effect or worse. To flatly advocate such a complex, nuanced medical intervention is exceedingly shortsighted.
