This week on Timeless Leadership(available everywhere you get podcasts), the topic is Growth. 

Every business, every sales executive, every leader is interested in growth. But we largely look at growth simply as a numbers game. What if you took a more holistic approach? 

Our guest is Jon Ferrara, founder of Nimble CRM, who is dedicated to helping people grow — not just as professionals, but personally as well. While his company is a software company, their focus is primarily on the ‘R’ in CRM: relationships. 

And Jon’s leadership philosophy is centered around that; he achieves his own dreams by helping others to achieve theirs. Tune in to hear more about how Jon views growth, his early days as a software entrepreneur, what inspired him to choose the path he did, and more.

“whatever luggage you intend to take”&nbsp;[FINA]&nbsp;&nbsp;    &nbsp; We're back on the rails this week, with our monthly travel-related episode. This time, we turn to an article written by H.J. Curjel for The Sherlock Holmes Journal, Vol. 12, Nos. 3 &amp; 4, Summer 1976.&nbsp; &nbsp; Specifically, we review his survey of stories in which railway journeys long and short took place, and specifically those in which luggage was mentioned or when people traveled without luggage. It's just a Trifle. &nbsp; If you have a suggestion for a Trifles episode, let us know at trifles @ ihearofsherlock.com.

Canonical Luggage and Railway Journeys

“some short sketch of the essentials” [BLAC]&nbsp;&nbsp;   &nbsp;   What are the essential volumes that every Sherlockian should have in their library? John Bennett Shaw had an idea with what became known as&nbsp;. But a more modest and attainable version was needed. In stepped Peter Eckrich and Rob Nunn, BSI (“Elementary”). IHOSE listeners may recall Peter and Rob from their previous work,&nbsp;. This time, they collected individuals who had a strong view as to which Sherlockian books ought to be part of every Sherlockian's library to develop 17 recommendations that make up&nbsp;. The 17 essays (a Canonically-appropriate number) are each a window into the interests, passion, and knowledge that the authors bring to their subjects, which range from some early Sherlockian scholarship to some latter-day must-haves. We have the&nbsp;Canonical Couplet&nbsp;quiz again.&nbsp;The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will win a copy&nbsp;Canonical Cornerstones.&nbsp;Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by March 29, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EST.

Canonical Cornerstones

“the weaver by his tooth or the compositor by his thumb” [COPP]&nbsp;    &nbsp; On the third week of every month, we look at a piece of Sherlockian scholarship in a series we call "Mr. Sherlock Holmes the Theorist." In this episode, the article "The Effect of Trades on the Body" by Remsen Ten Eyck Schenck from Vol. 3, No. 1 of The Baker Street Journal in 1953 serves as our anchor. &nbsp; Schenck offers a look at one of the monographs Holmes mentioned in The Sign of Four and proceeds to compare it with medical literature to draw conclusions about Holmes's work. And it's just a Trifle.  Don't miss the bonus material we have for you - available on both  and .

The Effect of Trades on the Body

“one of biscuits” [GLOR]&nbsp;    &nbsp; It's not often we find ourselves with a Muppets crossover, but after stumbling across a few trifling references in the Sherlock Holmes stories, we began to think about the Cookie Monster in Baker Street. &nbsp; Of course, there were no cookies in Baker Street. Only biscuits. Where might we find mentions of biscuits in the Canon? And what do we know about their variety and history? It's just another treat – a Trifle. &nbsp; Oh, and just for our&nbsp;&nbsp;supporters, we have a link to a very special Cookie Monster-themed Sherlockian item.

“consult me over that Manor House case” [GREE]&nbsp;    &nbsp; In addition to fascinating cases and clients, the Sherlock Holmes stories saw some wonderful house names. How did some of them get their names? &nbsp; We look at the history of house names, call out the story names that were also house names, and mention a few of our favorite lesser-known country houses in the Canon. It's just a Trifle. &nbsp; Oh, and just for our&nbsp; and  supporters, we have some additional analysis in a bonus episode.

The Manor House Case

“we shall certainly have to go to Norwood” [SIGN]&nbsp;  The latest in our&nbsp; takes us to Norwood. In particular, the Norwood in The Sign of Four. Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and Mary Morstan take a cab to a seedier part of London, and then a four-wheeler south to Norwood. How long would it have taken them? And what else might we find in this London suburb? Michael Harrison assists with an essay from In the Footsteps of Sherlock Holmes, and it’s just a Trifle. &nbsp; All of our supporters on  and &nbsp;are eligible for our monthly drawings for&nbsp;Baker Street Journals&nbsp;and certain tiers on &nbsp;receive thank you gifts.&nbsp;  Find Trifles&nbsp;.  &nbsp; Links / Notes    by Michael Harrison      All of our social links:&nbsp;   Email us at trifles @    &nbsp; Music credits Performers:&nbsp;Uncredited violinist, US Marine Chamber Orchestra&nbsp; Publisher Info.:&nbsp;Washington, DC:&nbsp;&nbsp; Copyright:&nbsp;

To Go to Norwood

Hounds of the Hollywood Baskervilles

“His collaboration&nbsp;may be very necessary”&nbsp;[ILLU]&nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  There's a curious phrase in the beginning of A Study in Scarlet that requires a little more consideration. Do you know what it is? John Ball, Jr. did.&nbsp; And his theory about what that phrase signified is an intelligent and plausible one, lifted from a 1954 issue of The Baker Street Journal and The Baker Street Reader. Along the way, we uncover a surprising fact about Ball. And it’s anything but a Trifle.

The Second Collaboration

“kept as a secret among them”&nbsp;[DEVI]&nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  When Dr. Leon Sterndale said there was only one known specimen of radix pedis dioaboli – devil's foot root – in a laboratory in Buda, it was clear that it was a poison unknown to science.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just what was it that was "used as an ordeal poison by the medicine-men in certain districts of West Africa"? Dr. Robert Ennis had an idea related to a substance we know well today, based on his observations in emergency rooms.&nbsp;And it’s anything but a Trifle.
