According to Ovid, a dividing line exists in the history of Westerns on teevee. The dividing line is before and after Gunsmoke and Wyatt Earp which came out the same week in 1955. When Krell heard about this line, he contacted Ovid and said that he would like to make a brief appearance on the podcast since he was in town and would comment on two of his favorite shows one before the line and the other at the line. The two shows were Sgt. Preston of the Yukon and Wyatt Earp.

Ovid always glad to visit with his mentor invited Krell to come on Thisaway.

I happened to catch that episode.

Krell explained how his family had been friends with the family of Hugh O'Brian who played Wyatt Earp in the series. O'Brian whose real name was Hugh Krampe was born in Rochester, N.Y.One of Thornton's uncles, a guy by the name of Iron Mike Krell who was a close friend of O'Brian's joined the Marines at the same time as O'Brian. O'Brian at 17 had become the youngest man ever to become a drill instructor. Iron Mike was trained by O'Brian and they became fast friends, a friendship that lasted beyond the War and through the rest of their lives.

O'Brian was discovered by Ida Lupino. He kept his first name but dropped Krampe. He head been embarrassed several times in his life when someone referred to him as Huge Crap so the decision to change names was an easy one.

He went from small parts in B movies to starring in The Legend of Wyatt Earp. In 1958 at the height of his fame, O'Brian spent time with spent nine days working as a volunteer at Dr Albert Schweitzer’s mission hospital on the banks of the Ogooue river in Gabon, Africa. Schweitzer believed that the most important thing in education is to teach kids how to think for themselves. Schweitzer passed this belief to O'Brian. Thornton Krell was a direct benefactor of Scwitzer's belief.

With that in his mind, O'Brian started the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Foundation in 1958. One sophomore from every school in the United States was invited to attend a state and/or regional Seminar whose philosophy was based on O'Brian's perception of Scweiizer's belief and reflective of his time on the Ogooue.

"I do NOT believe we are all born equal. Created equal in the eyes of God, yes, but physical and emotional differences, parental guidelines, varying environments, being in the right place at the right time, all play a role in enhancing or limiting an individual's development. But I DO believe every man and woman, if given the opportunity and encouragement to recognize their potential, regardless of background, has the freedom to choose in our world. Will an individual be a taker or a giver in life? Will that person be satisfied merely to exist or seek a meaningful purpose? Will he or she dare to dream the impossible dream? I believe every person is created as the steward of his or her own destiny with great power for a specific purpose, to share with others, through service, a reverence for life in a spirit of love."

— Hugh O'Brian, The Freedom to Choose.

Although a mega teevee star, O'Brian remained loyal and accessible to his Marine brothers, especially Iron Mike.

Iron Mike had introduced his nephew Thornton to O'Brian several times. O'Brian took a liking to the young boy. Because of this connection, Thornton became a regular and eventual leader at HOBY conventions throughout the country and world. Krell learned everything he could about the OK Corral. He loved the movie starring Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp. He passed on that love to Ovid who ran with it and became a foremost authority on the movie, the character, the real life Earp and most particularly the Western teevee trend in the 1950's etc.

The legend of Wyatt Earp grew from a bloody 30 second gunfight.

On the podcat, Krell explained some of the irresistible forces that led to the collision at the Corral as well as his background story with O'Brian.

The Gunfight at the OK Corral was a famous shootout that took place on October 26, 1881, in the town of Tombstone, Arizona. The event is remembered as one of the most famous gunfights in American history and has been the subject of countless movies, books, and television shows.

The gunfight was the result of a long-standing feud between two groups of men in Tombstone, Arizona : the Earps and the Cowboys. The Earps were a group of lawmen led by Wyatt Earp, who served as the town marshal. The Cowboys were a loosely organized gang of outlaws who often clashed with the Earps. The Clantons were caught in the crossfire of being rough men in a lawless era to outlaws as laws and law enforcement began to encroach on their domain.

During the days of Wyatt Earp, cowboys were not necessarily regarded as outlaws. In fact, cowboys were an integral part of the Wild West and played a significant role in the development of the American West.

However, there were certainly some cowboys who engaged in outlaw behavior, such as cattle rustling and robbery. This was partly due to the fact that the frontier was a lawless and rough place, with a lack of law enforcement and many opportunities for criminal activities.

Some cowboys were employed by ranchers who were engaged in conflicts over land and water rights, leading to violent confrontations with other ranchers, settlers, and Native Americans. These conflicts sometimes escalated into full-scale range wars, which resulted in the deaths of many people.

Therefore, while not all cowboys were outlaws, there were certainly some who engaged in criminal behavior, and the lawless nature of the frontier allowed such behavior to flourish.

Arizona was not a lawless territory during the time of Wyatt Earp. In fact, Earp moved to the newly created Arizona Territory in 1879 and worked as a lawman there for many years. He was eventually appointed as a Deputy US Marshal for the area in 1882. In 1884, Arizona became a US territory and Earp was appointed Chief of Police of the city of Tombstone.

On the morning of October 26, the Cowboys, led by Ike Clanton, arrived in Tombstone with a plan to kill the Earps. The Earps, who were aware of the Cowboys' intentions, gathered together a posse and confronted the Cowboys in a vacant lot near the OK Corral.

The two groups faced off, and a tense standoff ensued. After a brief exchange of words, the shooting started. The gunfight lasted only 30 seconds, but it resulted in several fatalities. Three of the Cowboys were killed, while three of the Earps and their friend, Doc Holliday, were injured.

The gunfight at the OK Corral marked the beginning of a long and violent conflict between the Earps and the Cowboys, which would ultimately lead to the deaths of several more people on both sides. The event has since become a legendary moment in American history and has been the subject of much speculation and debate and is an integral part of the Western teevee trend in the 1950's which according to Ovid and backed up by Krell, had an enormous impact on the Gestalt of the boomer generation.

Kell himself was not a Boomer. He was a member of the Quiet Generation. The tale end of that generation included Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King Bob Dylan and Elvis Presley.

Krell counted O'Brian as his mentor and O'Brian credited Scweitzer as his mentor which led Krell to believe he was intellectually and spiritually connected to Schwietzer. Ovid counted Krell as his mentor which means Thisaway is Thataway leads back to Africa and the Good doctor.

The podcast ran out of time before Krell could get much into Sgt. Preston but he mentioned that he owned a square foot of land somewhere in the Yukon which he received in a dozen ceral boxes of Quaker Oats cereal which was a sponsor of Sgt. Preston. Krell said seeing his "land: in the Yukon was on his bucket list.

All of this was new to Ovid.

And to me.

After listening to the show, I called Krell.

In honor of Batman Day...

Here’s an illustration I did a while back where I imagined what if there had been a Batman movie in the 1960s BEFORE the campy Adam West TV series.

I cast Hugh O'Brian who previous starred in the Wyatt Earp TV series and was moving into films in the 1960s. His version of Bruce Wayne would have borrowed elements of the spy genre popular in the 1966. Wayne would use his wealth and reputation as a playboy to circulate among the rich and decadent around the world. Then Batman would disable their plans for world domination.

I picked Vincent Price as Alfred and Johnny Crawford as Robin. O'Brian by the way started the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Foundation (HOBY), a non-profit youth leadership development program for high school scholars. HOBY sponsors 10,000 high school sophomores annually through its over 70 leadership programs in all 50 states and 20 countries. Since its inception in 1958, over 435,000 young people have participated in HOBY-related programs.

Helping You Understand The World Of Leadership

Helping You Understand The World Of Leadership

No business can succeed and grow in the absence of skilled leadership. However, precisely what goes into demonstrating the right sort of leadership can sometimes prove a bit mysterious. Keep reading to learn more about the things effective leaders tend to have in common and what things they generally try to avoid.

Offer incentives to employees who continually perform well. You can use a standard model with known rewards or surprise good employees with some type of recognition and bonus. Be sure you don't make promises that you can't keep. Always encourage your employees to do their best work and make sure each one understands their role in your organization.

To better your leadership skills, don't act like an expert in everything. Seek advice from your coworkers and listen to their ideas with an open mind. They may be able to provide ideas to facilitate your plans or identify issues that may arise during implementation of them.

Treat all of your employees well and never get involved in office gossip. Employees are usually happier in an environment where their work is appreciated and valued on the same level as any other employee. Spend time working with all of your employees so that you understand each person's contribution.

3 Stepping Stones to Better Habits

www.jackcanfield.com

"How many things do you do every day without even really thinking about it? It’s so easy to walk up to the counter at the coffee shop and order a pastry to go with that highly sweetened coffee. Or, to flop onto the couch when you get home instead of taking a detour toward the Read More The post 3 Stepping Stones to Better Habits appeared first on America's Leading Authority On Creating Success And Personal Fulfillment – Jack Canfield." https://www.jackcanfield.com/blog/better-habits/

Promotions, bonuses and raises should always be fairly distributed and based on performance. Don't simply promote the person who has been working with you the longest or hand out the biggest raise to a family member. Your employees will be more motivated when they know that they can earn tangible rewards for working hard.

Remember that you are not someone who is perfect. Even as a leader, you still have things that you can learn, and you don't singlehandedly own all the intelligence in your company or organization. Stay humble enough to realize that you are still going to need help every now and then, and the people you lead will think highly of you.

Do not be afraid to jump in and help. This is much easier if you work on site with your team, but is possible from afar if you are creative. If any person from your team needs help, jump in and give them a hand. You may learn a lot from the experience.

To be a good leader, it's a good idea to learn how to listen to the people who work for you. Subordinates have the ability to run with your broader ideas and take them in entirely new directions. After people listen to what you need to tell them, listen back to see if they have anything to add so you can be more successful.

Although it's a good idea to incorporate innovative ideas and continue to evolve your business plan, you need to stick to your original plan. Continuing to work towards a specific goal helps build your credibility and makes others confident in your abilities. Remember that your plan can be improved upon without changing completely.

The 7 Seductions of Leadership

"Position, status, and success don’t magically make you superior to others. Know-it-all leaders become less than they could be. The 7 seductions of leadership: Knowing ‘about’ is the same as knowing ‘how’. Position… Continue reading →" https://leadershipfreak.blog/2019/07/31/the-7-seductions-of-leadership/

Keep in mind that hope is not always a good thing. If you or your business are involved in a situation that has an inevitable and bad ending, do what is necessary to terminate the situation and move on. Employees will never forgive blind optimism in such circumstances, and it's better for everyone to have a bad situation behind them as soon as possible.

Remember that no matter how much you care for a business you work for or own, many of your subordinates are just there for a paycheck. This means that their daily behavior will often just subconsciously mimic and even amplify your own. That means that your good mood and passion can be contagious. On the other hand, so can your malaise and stupidity.

You should never procrastinate if you want to be seen as a great leader. When people think of having a boss, they imagine someone that is in charge and knows how to get down to business. Putting off projects and not following through is not the best way to present yourself to people.

Try adding value to people every single day. Several great leaders will take a minute to sit and think about whether or not they have added value to another person the same day. Leadership can make a difference and break a deal since it;'s what makes organizations grow. It impacts lives. Remember that it's not just an idea that's talked about, but it's an action that you need to live out.

First Look: Leadership Books for August 2019

www.leadershipnow.com

"Here's a look at some of the best leadership books to be released in August 2019. Don't miss out on other great new and future releases. Transforming Legacy Organizations: Turn your Established Business into an Innovation Champion to Win the Future by Kris Østergaard Transforming Legacy Organizations provides real-world advice and research-based information on how to grow innovation by employing new technologies, improving processes, and establishing a culture of creativity and forward momentum. Conventional business wisdom views innovation as the biggest advantage startups have over large, established organizations, often referred to as legacy organizations. This belief is false, especially when considering that 70% of all startups fail within 20 months of their first venture round. The truth is innovation initiatives of legacy organizations have far better chances of succeeding.

Ultralearning: Master Hard Skills, Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career by Scott Young

In these tumultuous times of economic and technological change, staying ahead depends on continual self-education—a lifelong mastery of fresh ideas, subjects, and skills. If you want to accomplish more and stand apart from everyone else, you need to become an ultralearner. The challenge of learning new skills is that you think you already know how best to learn, as you did as a student, so you rerun old routines and old ways of solving problems. To counter that, Ultralearning offers powerful strategies to break you out of those mental ruts and introduces new training methods to help you push through to higher levels of retention.

The Chaos Parallel: How To Overcome The Life-Altering Effects of Insecurities by J Alex Geesbreght Everyone has insecurities. Like with most insecurities–especially those that are not self-inflicted–we don’t tend to “fix” or “get over” them; they are always with us and a part of who we are. However, if we are honest with ourselves, we can recognize them, understand them, and seek to find a way to live our most authentic lives free from the chaos they often create.

Flip the Script: Getting People to Think Your Idea Is Their Idea by Oren Klaff Oren is throwing out the old playbook on persuasion. Instead, he'll show you a new approach that works on this simple insight: Everyone trusts their own ideas. If, rather than pushing your idea on your buyer, you can guide them to discover it on their own, they'll believe it, trust it, and get excited about it. Then they'll buy in and feel good about the chance to work with you. That might sound easier said than done, but Oren has taught thousands of people how to do it with a series of simple steps that anyone can follow in any situation. And Oren has been in a lot of different situations.

The Optimist's Telescope: Thinking Ahead in a Reckless Age by Bina Venkataraman Instant gratification is the norm today—in our lives, our culture, our economy, and our politics. Many of us have forgotten (if we ever learned) how to make smart decisions for the long run. Whether it comes to our finances, our health, our communities, or our planet, it’s easy to avoid thinking ahead. The consequences of this immediacy are stark: Superbugs spawned by the overuse of antibiotics endanger our health. Companies that fail to invest stagnate and fall behind. Hurricanes and wildfires turn deadly for communities that could have taken more precaution. Today more than ever, all of us need to know how we can make better long-term decisions in our lives, businesses, and society. Bina Venkataraman sees the way forward."

Always be clear. It doesn't matter how good your workers are if you aren't communicating your ideas efficiently. Be sure to explain your goals and any deadlines that need to be reached. Make sure that your workers understand what you expect from them, and be available to answer any questions they might have.

Establish clear communication channels. Your team should always be fully informed of every aspect of the project, including any deadlines that need to be met. Having good communication with your team will help establish your credibility as a leader and gaining their support. Your team should also feel free to contact you with questions or constructive feedback.

Find out what motivates your employees. Using the right type of motivation will improve productivity. Remember that not all employees are motivated by the same type of incentive. Besides motivating your employees, you need to support them by standing behind them, helping them reach their business goals and helping them solve problems effectively.

The difference between a charismatic leader and a self-aggrandizing leader is the former's ability to back up his or her claims. While the charismatic leader does take pride in these accomplishments, the key reason for sharing them is to inspire others. Try to use your past successes and experiences to give others the confidence they need to achieve their own goals.

The lynchpin of any winning business is strong, decisive leadership. Without a forceful leader at the helm, the chances of true success dwindle rapidly. By learning the fundamentals of leadership and applying them liberally, it really is possible to take the business world by storm. The article above was meant to help readers do just that.
