    The Kellogg INSIGHT podcast is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to gain valuable insights and knowledge about various topics. The episodes are well-structured and provide a wealth of information in just 20 minutes, making it perfect for those who are short on time but still want to learn and take action.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the sheer amount of valuable content that is packed into each episode. The hosts cover a wide range of topics, from managing stress and evaluating projects to learning how to say no. The insights provided are practical and applicable in real-life situations, making them highly relatable and helpful. Additionally, the podcast is pitched at just the right level, ensuring that listeners can easily understand and apply the concepts discussed.

    However, one drawback of the podcast is the audio quality. It seems like the episodes are recorded over Zoom or a similar platform, which can result in distorted or inconsistent audio at times. This can be distracting for some listeners and may impact their overall experience. Improving the audio connection or finding an alternative recording method would greatly enhance the podcast's quality.

    In conclusion, The Kellogg INSIGHT podcast is well worth a listen for anyone seeking valuable insights and knowledge in a condensed format. Despite its minor audio issues, this podcast shines with its relatable content and actionable advice. It offers a non-judgmental approach to personal reflection and change, making it an exceptional resource for growth and development. Highly recommended!

Simple urinary tract infections were deadly. Appendicitis killed you. And Syphilis might leave you without a nose.   Thanks to modern medicine, this is pretty unimaginable today. And if you live in the United States, you know that we pay handsomely for the privilege. But why do we pay more than any other country?   Welcome to Insight Unpacked—the series where our faculty break down a complex business topic. And boy do we have one for you this season: American healthcare and its web of misaligned incentives.   And we're gonna get really familiar with the things that motivate this system's biggest players. Those players? Hospital systems, doctors, health-insurance companies, pharmaceuticals, and patients.   So subscribe to Insight Unpacked, or check your feed at The Insightful Leader.
