Gun Control in the Third Reich by Stephen Halbrook. 

Craig Nelson is a New York Times bestseller and is jam packed with informational facts and stories about nuclear physics and the people behind it. He talks to Jason today about his new book The Age of Radiance and how nuclear power has changed our lives for better and for worse. 

Key Takeaways:

4:00 – Nuclear science has a lot of bad press, but it has done many great things and, some would say, it has even prevented wars. 

7:30 – Craig tells a fantastic story of 4 teenagers who grew up only a couple of KM from each other and ended up meeting later in life through their work within the atomic field. 

9:12 – Fun fact, John Von Neumann would read and drive at the same time and would often crash his car. 

10:41 – The people who developed atomic weapons were refugees from Hitler. A question people often ask is, “What happened if Hitler had the atomic weapons first?”

14:30  - According to Craig, if you look at the Dr. Strangelove movie, a lot of what happened in the movie was true or came true. 

18:15 – The most frighten experiment in the US took place on Bikini Atoll and that's how the bikini swimsuit came to be. 

22:20 – Nuclear in America has become such a burden in the US because you need federal funds to build the plant, maintain it, and fix it. Tax payers simply don't want to spend that money.

23:45 – Find an author who's writing similar books as you and find out who their agent is. Contact their agent and work from there. People tend to get rejected because they're sending their book to the wrong people. 

27:05 – Times have changed drastically for physical books. Authors don't need to tour any more with the use of the internet.

Key Takeaways

02.30 – Children remember what they see, and parents who think they can convince their children to eat healthily while they eat fast food are simply delusional.

05.50 – The initial success of Jenny Craig rested on seeing what the rest of the market was doing and finding a way to distinguish the business from everything else out there.

09.05 – You can’t just have a good idea; you need to have the quality there too, and especially if it’s related to what people are eating.

14.45 – In an organization, every member has to have a different skillset and has to bring something new to the team.

19.05 – Franchising is an area where you have to be willing to put in full commitment to everything you do, and for some people, it’s just not the right path.

25.50 – If you have to deal with a government official who is so strictly adhering to nonsensical rules, they can totally ruin your business.

26.50 – One of the best ways to eat more healthily is to get over the misconception that rich ingredients like butter add flavor. The spicing and seasoning is what gives the flavor. 

34.08 – Jenny’s latest book, I Believe in Genevieve, can be purchased at independent and nation-wide bookstores, as well as online at www.amazon.com

Gratitude is the first key to success.

You have to believe in yourself and you have to be willing to work for the things that you want. 

It’s interesting how the harder you work, the luckier you get.
