Hugh, Rabbi and the Tribe | June 02, 2008
Johnnie heard Ben give a talk in London and found his story inspiring. We chatted to him for 30 minutes about his experience setting up a tribe on a pacific island, with an extended online community. It’s another great example of the sort of collaboration the web makes possible, and it’s also a fabulous example of how its about high touch as well as high tech.

What’s Love Got to do with It? | May 12, 2008
We went round the houses on a few things, but started off talking about love and what it might have to do with organizations.

More Hugh and the Rabbi | March 17, 2008
Hugh’s also written some good show notes which I appreciate as I know that’s harder work than it looks, and a good aide memoire for me of the chat. We ramble around fairly shamelessly, but do get to talk about love and the value of small things, amongst other stuff. Hope you enjoy it.

Hugh and the Rabbi | February 18, 2008
Hugh Macleod has put up a podcast of a chat he had with Johnnie Moore, Mark Earls and Pinny Gniwisch. We kick around a few different ideas, starting with the debate about influencers.

Towards the end, Johnny squeezes in an anecdote about Charles Laughton. Listening, he realised he didn’t quite get the end line as he first heard it, so he will recapitulate.

Laughton, the famed movie actor, is at a Christmas dinner. The household is into creating its own entertainment, so everyone is invited to perform a piece that embodies, for them, the spirt of Christmas. When it comes to his turn, Laughton recites the 23rd Psalm (The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want), to his audience’s delight. Later in the round, an aged aunt who has been dozing through much of the evening is prompted for her contribution. Not having heard the great actor, she too recites the psalm.

Though initially embarrassed by the repetition, the way in which she speaks soon stills her listeners, and a tear comes to everyone’s eye. Even Laughton is deeply moved and his host quietly asks him how this old lady has managed such an impact. Laughton replies: “I know the psalm, but she knows the shepherd”.
