Wisdom from episodes of the show...

1.  The Opening and Closing of the show. 

2.  Listen to every idea.  Within a good business there is never room for arrogance.  Good business owners listen to everybody and encourage everybody's wisdom.  Here, you'll meet Marty Edelston.  With about 80 employees, they publish one of the most widely-read monthly newsletters in the world.  He started in his 40s with several children still at home and became one of the most successful people we know.

3. What is the path to economic independence?     You are on the right path if you are thinking about starting, running and growing a business. Most  businesses begin as a family business.

4. Hattie's Lightbulb.  Hattie stops us somewhere within the episode to ask, "Did you hear that?"  She just heard some wisdom; and as a result, she can see a brighter future. For this segment, we usually return to the studio.  It is usually about halfway through an episode of a show (yet it can be part of her concluding remarks).  Hattie's reflections on what she has learned from the guests on the show that week often imbibe Bruce's learning experiences as well.   More...

Toward a "Theory of Everything Similar"

Albert Einstein coined the term, unified field theory (popup); however, physicists had been challenged by the essential concept right back into the 1800s. The basic question is, "How do all the basic forces within life cohere?" We still do not have an answer.

In 1978 while at Harvard physicist Dimitri Nanopoulos pushed the concept  further and dubbed these new efforts to be a search for a Grand Unified Theory which was quickly called a GUT.  Within years the quest was re-dubbed a Theory of Everything  (TOE).  (Please note: this link opens a popup window). In 1984 Nanopoulos published a theory with John Ellis and John Samual Hagelin. In 1991 Hagelin with David H. Freedman published an introduction to the TOE for the general public in Discovery magazine. That's physics.

Those of us who believe that nature is consistent from the small-scale universe to the human-scale to the large-scale universe -- hold that the principle of continuity will necessarily inter-relate all three in a parallel construct.  Thus, we postulate a Theory of Everything Similar or TOES.  The value equation, which is a human superimposition on the quantitative as a qualitative judgment, is described in the left column.   More...
