- This Should Scare Us! - Malcolm Gladwell & Mitch Landrieu
In a wide-ranging, unguarded conversation, Malcolm Gladwell and former New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu use the city itself as a lens to examine America’s deeper fractures. What begins as a meditation on why New Orleans remains stubbornly, almost defiantly distinctive—resisting the cultural flattening seen in cities like Austin and Nashville—quickly expands into a larger argument: culture, not capital, is what holds societies together. Music, food, sport, and place are not luxuries, they argue, but the glue that sustains democracy when institutions falter. In New Orleans, joy and pain live side by side, producing a civic soul that cannot be replicated or scaled without losing its truth. From there, the conversation turns darker and more urgent. Landrieu warns that the United States is living through one of the most dangerous moments in its history—not because of disagreement, but because of a growing comfort with autocracy and a collapsing ability to talk across difference. Gladwell probes whether America’s aging population, economic anxiety, and nostalgia for an imagined past are fueling fear rather than curiosity about the future. Together, they trace how trauma—from Katrina to 9/11 to economic precarity—has eroded trust, and why art, culture, and local community may be the last remaining pathways back to common ground. The message is unsettling but clear: democracies do not collapse all at once; they wither when people stop listening to one another, and when culture is treated as expendable rather than essential. This episode is part of the ongoing conversations hosted by Baldwin & Co. , a Black-owned bookstore, café, and cultural institution based in New Orleans. Baldwin & Co. exists at the intersection of literature, ideas, and community—creating space for rigorous dialogue, storytelling, and intellectual exchange.

- Malcolm Gladwell - Khi câu hỏi trở thành câu chuyện
Trong tập 14, Tada bước vào thế giới của Malcolm Gladwell, nơi một câu hỏi tưởng như nhảm nhí về tương cà, giày da hay tượng đá lại trở thành cửa ngõ dẫn vào những ý tưởng làm người đọc… không thể dừng lại. Từ kệ siêu thị với chai Heinz, sân băng khúc côn cầu Canada, phòng máy tính nơi Bill Gates lén vào lúc nửa đêm, đến câu chuyện David hạ gục Goliath, Gladwell hiện lên như một nhà kể chuyện biết cách bẻ lái trí tò mò của người đọc, để những chủ đề khô khan nhất cũng trở nên ám ảnh. Tada dẫn bạn đi qua sáu chiêu kể chuyện làm nên “thương hiệu” Malcolm Gladwell: • Puzzle hook: mở đầu bằng một câu hỏi kỳ lạ khiến não buộc phải đi tìm câu trả lời • Character first: kể khoa học qua chân dung con người, không phải bảng số liệu • Contrarian twist: lật ngược điều “ai cũng tưởng là đúng” để mở ra một góc nhìn khác • Numbered structure: chia câu chuyện thành các khối rõ ràng, dễ theo, dễ nhớ • Suspense through withholding: cố tình giấu thông tin, rải manh mối để giữ người đọc ở lại • Simple but provocative: gói ý tưởng thành những cụm từ vừa dễ hiểu vừa gây tranh luận Từ The Ketchup Conundrum, The Tipping Point, Blink đến Outliers, mỗi ví dụ đều mở ra thêm một lớp trong tư duy storytelling: cách tạo một “khoảng trống thông tin” trong đầu người đọc, cách biến Bill Gates, The Beatles hay một nhà nghiên cứu thấp bé thành nhân vật chính, và cách một cụm từ như “10.000 giờ” có thể vừa đơn giản, vừa đủ gây tranh cãi để tồn tại trong văn hóa đại chúng nhiều năm liền. Bạn sẽ thấy rõ vì sao Gladwell bị giới học thuật chỉ trích, nhưng đồng thời lại là người khiến hàng triệu độc giả bắt đầu quan tâm đến khoa học xã hội. Cuối tập là Story Lab Challenge: The Gladwell Puzzle. Bạn sẽ chọn một fact tưởng như rất nhàm chán trong công việc hay đời sống của mình, biến nó thành một câu hỏi “nghe xong phải thắc mắc”, tìm ra một nhân vật đứng sau, rồi viết 2–3 câu mở đầu để thử sức với cách kể chuyện kiểu Gladwell. Nếu bạn làm nội dung, marketing, nghiên cứu, dạy học, hay đơn giản muốn tập kể chuyện sao cho người khác không rời mắt, tập này là một buổi giải phẫu khá “sắc” nhưng cũng rất vui vẻ về cách vận hành của một bậc thầy storycraft. 📌 Theo dõi thêm tại: 🔗 Website: http://tadale.com 🎙 Podcast: http://tadale.transistor.fm 📷 Instagram: @thangmania

- Malcolm Gladwell on Tesla, RFK, and Why AI Could Save Us
Can generative AI help us close the gap between expertise and access? This week on a special episode of Digital Disruption, we're joined by New York Times best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell, recorded live in Las Vegas at Info-Tech Research Group's LIVE tech conference. Malcolm Gladwell is the author of eight New York Times bestsellers, including his latest, Revenge of the Tipping Point. Named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People and one of Foreign Policy’s Top Global Thinkers, he is renowned for his unique perspective on the forces shaping human behavior and society. An extraordinary speaker, Gladwell combines eloquence, warmth, and humor to both entertain and challenge audiences. Through masterful storytelling, he unpacks complex and often misunderstood ideas, from decision-making in Blink and the roots of success in Outliers, to our underestimation of adversity in David and Goliath, and the missteps we make when interacting with strangers in Talking to Strangers. Malcolm Gladwell sits with Geoff Nielson for an engaging conversation on the future of AI, the power of storytelling, and the evolving forces that shape society. From AI’s role in closing the expertise gap to how unexpected narratives drive lasting cultural change, Gladwell offers his signature perspective: thoughtful, contrarian, and always surprising. He talks about why the most transformative uses of AI may be the simplest, how generative tools can elevate human capability, and why culture never changes in ways we expect. Malcolm provides insight into how the media, brands and politics are changing and what that could mean for leadership, while touching on the surprising truth about misinformation, expertise, and AI as a corrective tool.

- Blink: An Engaging Audio Summary of Malcolm Gladwell's Insights on Rapid Decision-Making
Chapter 1 What's Blink "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" by Malcolm Gladwell explores the concept of rapid cognition, or the ability to make quick decisions and judgments based on limited information. Gladwell argues that our unconscious mind can often process information faster and more efficiently than our conscious thought, leading to both insightful conclusions and potential errors. Through a series of compelling anecdotes and research findings, he demonstrates how this instant decision-making can influence various aspects of life, from personal relationships to professional environments, emphasizing the significance of intuition in human behavior. Chapter 2 The Background of Blink "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking," published in 2005 by Malcolm Gladwell, explores the concept of rapid cognition—how our brains make split-second decisions based on instinct and intuition. At a time when the world was becoming increasingly complex and data-driven, Gladwell aimed to challenge the prevailing notion that thorough analysis is always superior to instinctive judgment. He illustrated how our unconscious mind processes information more quickly and sometimes more accurately than our conscious mind. The book reflects a growing interest in psychology and behavioral economics in the early 2000s, coinciding with a broader cultural shift towards valuing intuition and personal narratives over purely analytical thought in various fields, including business, sports, and personal relationships. Chapter 3 Quotes of Blink Blink quotes as follows: Here are 10 notable quotes from "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" by Malcolm Gladwell: "The mind is capable of making very quick decisions in a blink of an eye." This highlights the instincts that guide our immediate judgments. "We can choose to be unwise. We can choose to ignore our instincts." Gladwell discusses how we can override intuitive responses. "The 10,000 hour rule is not about the amount of time we put into practice, it’s about the quality of that practice." This emphasizes the significance of specialized practice in achievement. "There is a thin line between a moment of insight and a moment of stupidity." Gladwell reflects on how our rapid judgments can lead us astray. "First impressions are often the most important ones." He suggests that our instant assessments can carry a lot of weight. "The ability to make sense of a complex world by reducing it to a simpler form is the key to understanding." This quote speaks to the essence of our unconscious decision-making. "The unconscious is the elephant in the room." Gladwell points out how much our unconscious influences our thoughts and actions. "What happens in the first two seconds is critical." He emphasizes the importance of those first moments in interaction. "You can’t think without thinking, but you also can’t not think without thinking. It’s a paradox." Here, he delves into the complex interplay of intuition and rational thought. "In the blink of an eye, we can evaluate, judge, and choose with amazing accuracy." This captures the essence of how quickly and effectively our brains can process information. 1.Listen Blink Audiobook summary at Bookey https://www.bookey.app/audiobook/blink 2.Buy Blink at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/s?k=blink 3.Buy Blink at Kobo https://www.kobo.com/us/en/search?query=Blink&fclanguages=en 4.Search Blink at worldcat https://search.worldcat.org/en/search?q=Blink&offset=1
- Understanding Instant Decisions: An Engaging Audio Summary of Malcolm Gladwell's Blink
1 What's Blink In "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking," Malcolm Gladwell explores the concept of rapid cognition, or the ability to make swift, effective decisions based on limited information. The book emphasizes how our intuition can be both a powerful tool and a source of error, as it highlights the significance of first impressions and instinctual responses in various situations, from art appreciation to police encounters. Gladwell argues that these split-second judgments are influenced by our experiences and biases, and he dissects the balance between careful analysis and instantaneous reaction, ultimately revealing the complexities of the human mind in decision-making. 2 Key Concepts of Blink In Chapter 1 of "Blink," Malcolm Gladwell introduces the concept of "thin-slicing," the ability of our unconscious to make quick decisions with minimal information. This theme resonates throughout several chapters in the book, particularly in Chapter 2, where he showcases how experts can make rapid assessments in their fields, and Chapter 4, which discusses the phenomenon of "priming" and how subtle cues can influence our immediate judgments. Additionally, in Chapter 5, Gladwell examines the differences between conscious and unconscious thinking, further illustrating the power and unpredictability of split-second decisions. 3 In-Depth Chapter Analysis of Blink by Malcolm Gladwell In "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking," Malcolm Gladwell explores the theme of rapid cognition and intuitive decision-making across various chapters. The first chapter, "The-statue that Didn’t Look Right," illustrates the phenomenon of thin-slicing, where experts draw conclusions based on limited information. Gladwell recounts the story of a Kouros statue that art historians initially deemed authentic; however, their instinctual reactions revealed underlying doubts that ultimately led to further investigation and the statue's exposure as a forgery. This connection underscores the power of intuition and the importance of trusting one's instincts, even when they defy rational analysis. Moving forward to Chapter 5, "The Magic of the Familiar," Gladwell delves into the significance of familiarity in the decision-making process. He discusses the case of a firefighter who chose to flee a burning building based on a gut feeling, a decision that was crucial in saving lives. This chapter links back to the overarching theme by emphasizing how our subconscious can process patterns and experiences rapidly, enabling us to make life-saving decisions without overthinking. Together, these chapters highlighting intuitive thinking illustrate Gladwell's argument that quick judgments, driven by subconscious instincts, can often be more reliable than deliberative thought. 1.Listen Blink Audiobook summary at Bookey https://www.bookey.app/audiobook/blink 2.Buy Blink at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/s?k=blink 3.Buy Blink at Kobo https://www.kobo.com/us/en/search?query=Blink&fclanguages=en 4.Search Blink at worldcat https://search.worldcat.org/en/search?q=Blink&offset=1

1 What's David and Goliath In "David and Goliath," Malcolm Gladwell explores the concept of underdogs and the advantages that can arise from disadvantages. Through a series of compelling stories and case studies, he challenges the conventional narrative that strength equates to power and success. Gladwell illustrates how obstacles can foster resilience, creativity, and strategic thinking, leading to unexpected triumphs in battles, both literal and metaphorical. The book emphasizes that perceived weaknesses can become sources of strength, highlighting the complexity of advantages and disadvantages in various contexts. 2 Key Concepts of David and Goliath In Chapter 1 of "David and Goliath," Malcolm Gladwell introduces the theme of how perceived disadvantages can actually lead to advantages, using the story of David and Goliath to illustrate this concept. This theme resonates throughout several chapters in the book, particularly in Chapter 2 titled "The Advantages of Disadvantages," where Gladwell explores how obstacles can foster creativity and resilience. Additionally, Chapter 3, "The Trouble with Geniuses, Part 1," delves into the idea that extraordinary advantages, such as high intelligence or wealth, may not always guarantee success, reinforcing the idea that disadvantages can be beneficial. Lastly, Chapter 5, "The Power of Limits," also ties back to this theme by illustrating how constraints can provoke innovative solutions. 3 In-Depth Chapter Analysis of David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell In David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell explores the theme of how perceived disadvantages can turn into powerful advantages. In Chapter 1, titled "Goliath," Gladwell illustrates the biblical story of David and Goliath, framing it as a story of unexpected triumph through unconventional strategies. He emphasizes how David, a shepherd with a slingshot, utilized his agility and knowledge of the terrain to defeat the heavily armed giant Goliath, highlighting the power of ingenuity over brute strength. This chapter sets the tone for the book, suggesting that disadvantages can provide unique strengths that lead to success. The narrative questions conventional wisdom around strength and capability, encouraging readers to feel empowered by their own perceived limitations. In Chapter 3, "The Theory of Desirable Difficulty," Gladwell delves deeper into how challenges can foster resilience and innovation. He discusses the educational struggles of individuals like children with dyslexia who, despite facing academic hurdles, develop unique problem-solving skills and creative thinking. One striking example is the story of a successful entrepreneur with dyslexia who managed to navigate his learning challenges to build a thriving career. This chapter reinforces the theme that what might seem like a deficiency often serves as a catalyst for exceptional innovation and growth, echoing the book's overarching message that strength can arise from unconventional paths. 1.Listen David and Goliath Audiobook summary at Bookey 2.Buy David and Goliath at Amazon 3.Buy David and Goliath at Kobo 4.Search David and Goliath at worldcat
- David and Goliath: An Engaging Audio Summary of Malcolm Gladwell's Insights
1 What's David and Goliath In "David and Goliath," Malcolm Gladwell explores the unconventional idea that apparent disadvantages can lead to unexpected advantages, emphasizing that what is perceived as strength may actually be a weakness, and vice versa. By examining various historical and contemporary examples, including the biblical tale of David and Goliath, Gladwell argues that underdogs often use creativity and alternative strategies to overcome more powerful adversaries. The book challenges traditional notions of power and success, suggesting that resilience, resourcefulness, and unconventional thinking can change the dynamics of competition. 2 Key Concepts of David and Goliath In Chapter 1 of "David and Goliath" by Malcolm Gladwell, the theme revolves around the concept of perceived disadvantage and how it can actually be an advantage in certain contexts. This theme is further explored in Chapters 2 and 3, where Gladwell discusses how underdogs, like David, can leverage their unique strengths and creativity in challenging situations, challenging conventional notions of strength and power. Additionally, Chapter 8 emphasizes the role of adversity in fostering resilience, illustrating how challenges can lead to unforeseen advantages. 3 In-Depth Chapter Analysis of David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell In David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell explores the dynamics of perceived advantages and disadvantages through the lens of various stories chronicled in each chapter. In Chapter 1, titled "Goliath," Gladwell uses the biblical story to illustrate how underdog victories often stem from unconventional tactics rather than sheer strength. He highlights the use of a sling by David as a form of advantage, suggesting that perceived weaknesses can be turned into strengths through innovation and strategy. This sets the stage for the theme that obstacles can catalyze unexpected advantages, suggesting that being at a disadvantage may encourage more creative thinking and resilience. Subsequent chapters, like "The Theory of Desirable Difficulty" (Chapter 3), expand on this idea by presenting the stories of dyslexia and its effect on successful individuals who develop compensatory skills. Gladwell argues that the challenges posed by dyslexia foster traits like perseverance and out-of-the-box thinking, which can lead to success in fields like entrepreneurship and law. By weaving together these narratives, Gladwell consistently reinforces the central theme of the book: that disadvantages often yield surprising advantages, and that the stories of David’s triumph and the complexities of hardship allow for a deeper understanding of success and resilience. 1.Listen David and Goliath Audiobook summary at Bookey https://www.bookey.app/audiobook/david-and-goliath 2.Buy David and Goliath at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/s?k=david+and+goliath 3.Buy David and Goliath at Kobo https://www.kobo.com/us/en/search?query=David and Goliath&fclanguages=en 4.Search David and Goliath at worldcat https://search.worldcat.org/en/search?q=David and Goliath&offset=1
- Malcolm Gladwell in Conversation (Rebroadcast)
This episode features Malcolm Gladwell in conversation about his newest book, Revenge of The Tipping Point . He spoke with Literary Arts executive director Andrew Proctor in front of a live audience in downtown Portland in October 2024. The Tipping Point hit shelves in 2000 and became a true cultural phenomenon, spending a whopping 334 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and turning everyone—from your priest to your barista—into budding social scientists. Multiple New York Times bestsellers followed, including Blink and Outliers , and in 2018, Gladwell co-founded Pushkin Industries, which that seeks to “expand the possibilities of spoken word audio,” and launched his wildly popular podcast, Revisionist History . In both his books and his podcasts, Gladwell reveals a world of hidden connections, everyday illusions, and overlooked details. He illuminates patterns in our policy and culture, and identifies the tiny tics that drive group behavior, introducing terms like , the Law of the Few, and the 10,000-hour rule into the larger cultural lexicon. Now, twenty-five years after The Tipping Point, Gladwell has returned to the ideas that first made him a household name. His new book, Revenge of The Tipping Point: Overstories, Superspreaders, and the Rise of Social Engineering , finds him once again exploring epidemics and viral behavior. This time, he is driven by a somewhat darker inquiry. We see the consequences of contagious phenomena and rethink the two most significant epidemics of our time: the opioid crises and Covid. Don’t worry, we are still treated Gladwell’s tremendous curiosity and humor, delving into such topics such as cheetah reproduction and the world’s most successful bank robbers. It is his most serious and personal book to date. With Revenge of The Tipping Point , Malcolm Gladwell again proves himself one our finest storytellers. But more importantly: He helps us reimagine the stories that we tell about ourselves. Malcolm Gladwell is the author of five New York Times bestsellers — The Tipping Point , Blink , Outliers , What the Dog Saw , and David and Goliath . He is also the co-founder of Pushkin Industries, an audio content company that produces the podcasts Revisionist History, which reconsiders things both overlooked and misunderstood, and Broken Record, where he, Rick Rubin, and Bruce Headlam interview musicians across a wide range of genres. Gladwell has been included in the TIME 100 Most Influential People list and touted as one of Foreign Policy’s Top Global Thinkers.
- Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers explores the hidden factors behind extraordinary success, including the importance of timing, cultural legacies, and dedicated practice. 👉 Free Course on https://www.apolloskills.com/courses/outliers Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell is a thought-provoking exploration of the factors that contribute to high levels of success. Rather than focusing on individual talent or hard work alone, Gladwell argues that success often results from a combination of unique opportunities, cultural background, and timing. Through compelling stories and examples, he challenges the conventional belief that people achieve success solely through personal effort. The 10,000-Hour Rule One of the most famous concepts from Outliers is the "10,000-Hour Rule." Gladwell argues that it takes roughly 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to achieve mastery in any field. He illustrates this with examples from diverse fields, including music (like The Beatles), technology (such as Bill Gates), and sports. However, he also emphasizes that access to opportunities to accumulate those hours is crucial—opportunities are often influenced by timing, cultural background, and even birth dates. The Importance of Timing and Culture Gladwell explores how timing and cultural background play significant roles in success. For instance, he examines how being born in a particular year could provide advantages, as in the case of Canadian hockey players who are more likely to succeed if born in the first few months due to age-related selection advantages. Additionally, Gladwell discusses how cultural legacies, such as the discipline ingrained in Asian cultures through rice farming, can impact work ethic and attitudes toward success. Hidden Advantages and Opportunities Another critical theme in Outliers is the idea of hidden advantages and opportunities that contribute to success. Gladwell highlights how successful individuals often benefit from unique circumstances, such as attending the right school, being in the right place at the right time, or receiving crucial support from mentors and family. These factors, often outside the individual’s control, can create the conditions necessary for extraordinary achievement. Challenging the Myth of the Self-Made Person Gladwell’s socially conscious approach challenges the myth of the self-made person by showing that success is rarely the result of individual effort alone. He argues that societal structures, community support, and sheer luck often play significant roles. This inclusive perspective emphasizes the importance of recognizing and creating opportunities for others, as success is not just about personal merit but also about the environment in which one operates. A Relatable and Thought-Provoking Perspective Outliers is not just a book about success—it’s about understanding the complex interplay of factors contributing to it. Gladwell’s writing is engaging, energetic, and filled with relatable stories that make complex ideas accessible. His forward-thinking perspective encourages readers to reconsider how they view success, not only in their lives but also in society. Reframing Success In Outliers , Gladwell redefines success as a combination of hard work, opportunity, cultural context, and timing. He invites readers to think beyond the individual and consider the broader societal factors that make extraordinary achievements possible. By understanding these factors, we can better appreciate the complexity of success and work toward a more equitable society where more people have the chance to succeed. This b

- Blink by Malcolm Gladwell: The power of thinking without thinking
Blink by Malcolm Gladwell Get the book: https://amzn.to/3BSpWtp From the author of The Tipping Point , Malcolm Gladwell's international bestseller Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking is a revolution in the understanding of the mind. An art expert sees a ten-million-dollar sculpture and instantly spots it's a fake. A marriage analyst knows within minutes whether a couple will stay together. A fire-fighter suddenly senses he has to get out of a blazing building. A speed dater clicks with the right person... This book is all about those moments when we 'know' something without knowing why. Here Malcolm Gladwell explores the phenomenon of 'blink', showing how a snap judgement can be far more effective than a cautious decision. By trusting your instincts, he reveals, you'll never think about thinking in the same way again. Here are seven key lessons from Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell: * Trust Your Intuition, but Verify It: First impressions and gut instincts can be powerful, but they aren’t always accurate. Understanding when to trust your intuition and when to analyze further is crucial. * Thin-Slicing Can Be Effective: “Thin-slicing” refers to the ability to make quick decisions based on limited information. In many situations, these quick judgments can be surprisingly accurate. * Biases Shape Snap Judgments: Our subconscious is influenced by biases, stereotypes, and prior experiences, which can skew our quick decisions. Recognizing and countering these biases is essential. * Too Much Information Can Hinder Decisions: Overanalyzing or having too much data can lead to paralysis by analysis. Sometimes, less information leads to clearer, faster decision-making. * Preparation Shapes Snap Decisions: The quality of your instincts depends on prior experience, knowledge, and practice. Building expertise in an area sharpens your ability to make sound snap judgments. * Context and Environment Matter: The environment in which we make decisions can influence their outcomes. Small changes in context can dramatically affect our subconscious reactions. * Reflection and Awareness Improve Intuition: Understanding how your mind processes information and identifying patterns in your thinking can help refine your ability to make better quick decisions.

- Malcolm Gladwell on Finding Freedom in Abandoning Expectations
Malcolm Gladwell may be one of the most widely read—and, with his Revisionist History podcast, listened to—journalists of our time. A New Yorker magazine staff writer and the author of seven New York Times bestsellers, including The Tipping Point (2000), Blink (2005), and Outliers (2008), he has myriad awards and honors to his name. But this impressive trajectory has never been some planned-out or preordained journey; in fact, as Gladwell says on this episode of Time Sensitive, he has never been one to try to overly plan for or divine the future—of his career, of his life, or of anything, really. “Expectations are a burden and wherever possible should be abandoned,” he says. Gladwell’s radical receptiveness is perhaps what has led him to become one of today’s most prolific and eclectic writers, reporting on topics ranging from office design and french fries, to dog fighting and Steve Jobs, to automobile engineers and marijuana. Across all of his writing, Gladwell exhibits a rare sleight-of-hand ability to take certain intellectual or academic subjects and leap-frog them into popular culture, and, in doing so, make seemingly esoteric phenomena entertaining and widely accessible. On the episode—recorded in the Pushkin Industries outpost in Hudson, New York—Gladwell talks about the disappearance of what he calls “the critical enterprise in America”; and how A.I. is complicating his famous “10,000-Hour Rule.” Special thanks to our Season 10 presenting sponsor, L’École, School of Jewelry Arts .
