About this episode
Welcome to this Boring History for Sleep session. Tonight, we settle in with the incredible and steady Madam C.J. Walker history. This History Documentary for Sleep is a relaxing sleep story designed as a bedtime story for grownups. We follow the life of Sarah Breedlove, born on a Louisiana plantation in 1867, who transformed her struggle with hair loss into a revolutionary business model. From her early days as a washerwoman earning $1.50 a week to building a national network of 40,000 agents and becoming the first self-made female millionaire, we explore the quiet details of her manufacturing process and the legacy of her estate, Villa Lewaro. Let the slow-paced rhythm of her journey guide you into a restorative rest.Intro: 00:00:00Why you wouldn't last a day in Mongol Empire times: 01:02:52How Did The English Royal Court Change The World?: 01:39:15 Henry Ford Changed The Modern World And How He Did It: 02:51:15Why You Would Love A Day In Medieval Scotland: 03:25:23Who Were The Worst Kings In History?: 03:58:45Life and Legacy Of Benjamin Franklin: 04:32:12The Entire Story of Australia: From the Dreamtime to Today: 05:09:54How the First Psychologists Almost Got the Human Mind Wrong: 06:10:33Patreon—https://www.buymeacoffee.com/historyandsleep - If you guys ever want to support me further until I get my channel memberships set up, you can buy me a coffee here or simply donate if you're feeling generous. :) Love you all. ?If this podcast helps you relax or fall asleep, we’d love your support.
