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.
Environmental Advocacy Workshop -- Science Meets Policy
How to translate scientific evidence into public policy change. I will teach you how to build an airtight case, anticipate industry counterattacks, write for legislators who do not read journals, and testify under pressure. The chemical industry threw everything at me. I had the data. Data wins.
Abstract Painting Workshop -- Art Without Rules
I paint large abstract canvases every day. Bold colors, no plan, no rules. Painting silences the noise in my head. I teach you to pick up a brush with no destination and see where it goes. We use acrylics on large canvas -- go big or go home. Tip: The painting knows what it wants. Your job is to get out of the way.
Bass Guitar (Fender Jazz Bass, Sunburst)
My Fender Jazz Bass from the Dogstar days. I'm not a great bassist -- I'm an enthusiastic one. Sometimes enthusiasm is enough. Borrow it, start a band, play badly with joy. Tip: The bass holds everything together. Like kindness.
Morse Code Workshop -- The Original Digital Language
Learn Morse code -- the first digital communication system. On/off, long/short, 1/0. In two hours you will send and receive at 5 words per minute. We use a real telegraph key and sounder. Tip: Learn the rhythm, not the dots and dashes. Your ear learns faster than your eyes.
Screen Acting for Dancers -- When the Music Stops
I won my Oscar in a drama, not a musical. Dancers make extraordinary actors because we understand timing, physicality, and emotional expression through the body. I teach dancers how to carry those skills into dialogue scenes. Tip: Every pause in dialogue is a rest in music. Feel it that way.
Satyajit Ray Film Collection (Criterion, Complete)
The complete Criterion Collection of my films -- the Apu Trilogy, Charulata, The Music Room, Days and Nights in the Forest, and more. Subtitled in English. Kurosawa said seeing these films was like seeing the sun and moon. Start with Pather Panchali. Bring tissues.
Xiphos Short Sword (Bronze Replica)
Leaf-shaped xiphos, 24-inch blade, bronze construction. The backup weapon when the dory breaks. Designed for the crush of close combat where the spear is too long. I used mine at Thermopylae after my spear shattered on the second day.
Campaign Planning Workshop -- Logistics of Conquest
Half-day workshop on campaign logistics. How I moved 50,000 men from Greece to India across deserts, mountains, and rivers. Supply lines, foraging, forced marches, river crossings. Tip: Amateurs talk tactics. Professionals talk logistics. An army that cannot eat cannot fight.
Numidian Cavalry Javelin Set (5 Light Javelins)
Five light throwing javelins in the Numidian style. My riders under Maharbal would harass Roman columns for days -- throwing, retreating, throwing again. No armor, no shield, just speed and accuracy.
Apache Bow & War Club Set
Short mulberry bow and stone-headed war club. The Apache bow is compact -- made for horseback and tight canyon fights. The war club is last resort, close quarters. Light enough to carry all day, deadly enough to end any argument.
1930s Dance Costume Collection (Gowns, Heels, Feathers)
Three replica gowns from the Astaire-Rogers films: the feathered dress from Top Hat (it shed everywhere -- Fred hated it and I loved it), the satin from Swing Time, and the beaded from Shall We Dance. Includes matching dance heels. Handle with care -- the beading is hand-sewn.
