Episode 37-I, Mudd
In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider episode I, Mudd, which aired on November 3, 1967, and occurred on Star Date 4513.3.
The Enterprise finds Harry Mudd (Harcourt Fenton Mudd) on a planet and the “ruler” of 500 robot women. Mudd is being studied by the robots, who are accommodating but refuse to let him go. The androids tell Kirk people from the Andromeda galaxy built them. However, the civilization that constructed them was destroyed by a supernova, so the androids were left without supervision. Now they have found a new purpose in Mudd. Spock makes inquiries and discovers that there are 207,809 androids and, most importantly, that they seem to be controlled by some central coordinating power.
The robots find people too destructive and plan to take over and “serve” all humans in the galaxy to control them. Kirk leaves Harry on the planet with his attendant robots to serve as an example of human failure to them. The robots are also reprogrammed to carry out their original task of rendering the planet fit for human life. As a final blow to Mr. Mudd, Kirk also leaves behind several android copies of his shrewish wife, Stella.

In this episode of Career Can Do, Mary Ann Faremouth chats with Liz Kislik, management consultant, executive coach, and President of Liz Kislik Associates. A frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review, TEDx and Forbes, Liz has helped family-run businesses, national nonprofits, and Fortune 500 companies solve their most challenging problems for 30 years. Liz discusses growth, resilience, and how changing your mindset affects the workplace.
You can learn a lot by observing what’s happening around you, says Liz, even if you are not taking action. It’s important that you understand your surrounding landscape before you try to change it. The way people behave has a lot to do with their environment, so to make a significant, lasting impact, you need to identify situational factors in addition to individual behaviors.
Resilience is a necessary variable for growth. Rather than products of our circumstances, we are products of our decisions – things can happen to us, but what matters is what we do about it. There are two types of resilience: one is when we decide to take action over external things we can still control, and the other is when we accept the things not within our control and keep moving forward anyway.

In this episode, Richard Lummis and Tom Fox consider the leadership lessons from the Presidency of US Grant. The lessons include:
1. Reconstruction and the Civil Rights Acts, leading to the passage of the 15th Amendment;
2. Appointment of minorities to his cabinet and other top government positions;
3. His Indian peace policy. At the start of his administration, there were 370 separate treaties with Native Americans. Grant streamlined this process and appointed a Seneca Indian as head of the BIA; and
4. Foreign Affairs. We consider Grant’s leadership in the dispute with Great Britain over claims against the Confederate raider Alabama.
