Leadership Lessons From The Great Books
Infanterie Greift An. (Infantry Attacks) by Erwin Rommel w/John Hill and Jesan Sorrells
Infanterie Greift An. (Infantry Attacks) by Erwin Rommel --- Examining what leaders in business and civic life can learn from Erwin Rommel’s classic military account, Infantry Attacks, this episode dives into the value of tactical thinking, the reality of self-selection in civic engagement, and why direct, “boots on the ground” leadership outperforms over-reliance on technology. The hosts challenge prevalent objections to leveraging military strategy in the business world, shed light on the pitfalls of single-issue focus, and discuss how excellence in any domain demands courage, humility, and willingness to do hard things. Key insights are illustrated with both historical context and modern management parallels, making the lessons actionable for today’s leaders.

Mere Mortals Conversations
Why Are We Building Robots That Look Like Us?
Why give a robot legs when wheels already work? Humanoid robots promise to fit the world we built for people. But walking, balancing and handling objects introduce engineering challenges—and someone has to pay for that complexity. In this October episode of Mere Mortals Robotics, I explore why companies build robots shaped like us, where simpler machines could make more sense, and which human features actually earn their place. We discuss: • Why human environments and demonstrations make humanoids appealing • Different approaches from Atlas, Digit and Figure • How carrying a load changes balance and centre of mass • Why reaching farther demands more torque • How small failure risks compound across a complete job • Cost per completed task versus the cost of adapting a building • Human preferences, the uncanny valley, privacy and trust • Why the next few years could favour a mixture of humanoids and arms on wheels This is an approachable exploration for curious people. I’m learning alongside you and working through the questions in plain English. CHAPTERS 00:00 Why humanoids? 01:11 Why copy the human body? 05:00 Atlas, Digit and Figure: different engineering bets 06:27 Fixed arms, wheels, quadrupeds and humanoids 08:10 Balance and the centre-of-mass problem 10:31 Reach, torque and power 11:52 Why long jobs compound failure risks 13:00 The economics of a completed task 14:06 A more complex robot—or a redesigned room? 15:40 Do people want human-looking robots? 16:36 Privacy, trust and responsibility 17:59 My outlook: a mixture of robot bodies 19:20 Which human features earn their place?
