Radio History & Maritime Safety Lecture
Wireless at sea: from first ship-to-shore messages to the Titanic to modern GMDSS. 700 survived because Jack Phillips stayed at his post sending SOS until power failed. After Titanic, every ship was required to carry wireless.
Process Optimization Consulting -- Eliminate Waste
One-on-one. Bring me your workflow -- manufacturing, service, office, anything. I will find the waste. Every process has value-adding steps and non-value-adding steps. Eliminate the latter. At Highland Park, chassis assembly went from 12 hours 28 minutes to 1 hour 33 minutes.
Walker System Product Kit (Replica)
Replica of the original Walker System product line: Wonderful Hair Grower, Temple Salve, Tetter Salve, and Glossine. Historical packaging and formulations adapted for modern use. A piece of entrepreneurial history you can actually use.
Tensile Testing Workshop -- How Strong Is It Really
Small group (max 4). We will test materials to destruction: pulling, bending, cutting. Measure force, elongation, and breaking point. Compare metals, plastics, composites, and natural fibers. The numbers always surprise people. Intuition about material strength is usually wrong. Measure.
Pattern Recognition Seminar -- Finding Order in Chaos
Small group (max 4). Not just chemistry -- the skill of finding patterns in any dataset. I will give you messy data and teach you to sort, classify, and predict. The periodic table was a pattern recognition exercise. The same skill applies to business data, medical records, financial trends, or any complex system.
Public Speaking Masterclass -- The Voice That Cannot Be Ignored
Whether you're addressing a boardroom or a protest march, your voice must carry conviction. I'll teach you pacing, breath control, and how to land a sentence so it stays in the room after you've left. Harry and I spoke at the March on Washington. The microphone helps, but the message does the work.
Deep Focus Cinematography Workshop -- Everything in Focus at Once
Gregg Toland taught me this for Citizen Kane: keep the foreground AND background sharp. It forces the audience to choose where to look -- and that choice IS the story. We study lens selection, lighting for depth, and staging in three dimensions. Tip: When everything is in focus, composition becomes your only guide.
Boxing Training Session -- Raging Bull Fundamentals
Jake LaMotta trained me for a year. I learned jab, cross, hook, uppercut, and the footwork of a middleweight. Boxing teaches you rhythm, distance, and controlled aggression -- all of which translate directly to screen performance. We wrap hands, hit bags, and spar light.
Boxing Gear Set (Gloves, Wraps, Heavy Bag)
16oz training gloves, 180-inch hand wraps, and a 70lb heavy bag with ceiling mount. The same weight class gear I trained with for Raging Bull. Hit the bag for twenty minutes and tell me acting isn't physical work.
Escape & Evasion Tactics -- Guerrilla Warfare Seminar
Half-day seminar on guerrilla tactics. How 70 escaped slaves outran and outfought professional legions. Route selection, foraging, decoy camps, fighting withdrawal. Tip: Speed is armor. If they cannot find you, they cannot kill you.
Emotional Scene Work -- Crying, Laughing, Raging on Cue
In Casablanca, the tears were real -- I didn't know how the story ended. That uncertainty became the performance. I teach you to access genuine emotion without tricks, onions, or menthol. We work on sense memory, breath, and emotional preparation. Tip: Don't try to cry. Try to NOT cry. The struggle is what the camera captures.
Surrealist Filmmaking Workshop -- Dreams as Cinema
Logic is for accountants. Cinema is for dreamers. I teach you to build a film from images, feelings, and memories instead of plot outlines. We start with your strangest dream and work backward to a script. Tip: The image comes first. Then the meaning. Never the other way around. If you start with a message, you'll make a lecture, not a film.
