Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 Bonus: Justin Clegg, Allset

Justin Clegg grew up all around the world, living in countries like Puerto Rico, Mexico City and Brazil. He spent 2 years on mission in Africa, and 5 years in India as well. Through these experiences, he has learned empathy, gratitude, and how to be a better listener, which helps him in his business ventures. He is multi-lingual, and interestingly, he mentioned that selling religion helped him to be better at sales. Outside of tech, he digs the mountains and playing sports, specifically tennis and indoor soccer.

Justin had a pivotal experience with a handyman helping him at his home. When it came time to pay this person, he was unable to do so because the handyman didn't accept forms of payment Justin had available to him. He decided to build something to fix this, and onboarded said handyman, as his first merchant customer.

This is the creation story of Allset.

Honestly with Bari Weiss - Why We Must Save Our Boys

Let’s talk about the state of men in America: For every 100 bachelor degrees awarded to women, 74 are awarded to men; among men with only a high-school education, one in three is out of the labor force; mortality from drug overdoses, suicides, and alcohol-related illnesses are almost three times higher among men than women. The list goes on.


The reality is that boys and men are falling behind. And we need to do something about it. So for today, Richard Reeves of the Brookings Institution, on his new book, Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It.


Guest host Mary Katharine Ham and Reeves talk about the three biggest areas where men are floundering (education, work, and home) and why truly caring about gender equality means fighting not just for women, but for men too.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Vitamins

For thousands of years, humans knew that certain foods could treat certain ailments. However, why or how the foods did this was totally unknown. 

It wasn’t until the early 20th century that researchers discovered exactly what chemicals were in food that prevented and cured many diseases. 

Today, that knowledge has led to an entire industry dedicated to providing and supplementing nutrients. 

Learn more about vitamins, what they are, how they were discovered, and what happens if you lack them in your diet on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - John Briscoe, “Crush: The Triumph of California Wine” (U Nevada Press, 2018)

In 1910, the future of California wine looked dim. Beset by crises ranging from earthquakes to insect infestations, and with momentum moving toward prohibition, the nascent industry seemed dead on the vine. How then, a mere sixty years later, did a blind taste test from some of France's toughest sommeliers judge California wines superior to their French counterparts? In Crush: The Triumph of California Wine (University of Nevada Press, 2018), writer, lawyer, and University of California Berkeley Distinguished Fellow John Briscoe explains who rescued the California wineries and how they accomplished the task. This is a global story two hundred years in the making, full of fascinating stories and larger than life characters. As California wines face an uncertain, climate-changed, future, Briscoe argues we should look to the past to understand how the state's viticulture has weathered difficult storms in its long and fascinating history.

Dr. Stephen R. Hausmann is an assistant professor of history at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota.

New Books in Native American Studies - Jeffers Lennox, “North of America: Loyalists, Indigenous Nations, and the Borders of the Long American Revolution” (Yale UP, 2022)

The story of the Thirteen Colonies’ struggle for independence from Britain is well known to every American schoolchild. But at the start of the Revolutionary War, there were more than thirteen British colonies in North America. Patriots were surrounded by Indigenous homelands and loyal provinces. Independence had its limits.

North of America: Loyalists, Indigenous Nations, and the Borders of the Long American Revolution (Yale University Press, 2022) by Dr. Jeffers Lennox focuses on Upper Canada, Lower Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and especially the homelands that straddled colonial borders. He argues that these areas were far less foreign to the men and women who established the United States than Canada is to those who live here now. These northern neighbors were far from inactive during the Revolution. The participation of the loyal British provinces and Indigenous nations that largely rejected the Revolution—as antagonists, opponents, or bystanders—shaped the progress of the conflict and influenced the American nation’s early development.

In this book, historian Dr. Lennox looks north, as so many Americans at that time did, and describes how Loyalists and Indigenous leaders frustrated Patriot ambitions, defended their territory, and acted as midwives to the birth of the United States while restricting and redirecting its continental aspirations.

This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
