Our August episode of Purely Academic is one of our busiest recordings to date, as Sean and Jonathan break down how they spent their summer vacations, and talk about the start of the new school year. Sean tells us about some of the legal insanity affecting education in Texas, while Jonathan explains why he created a bunch of feature-length anime fan edits for various classes he's teaching this semester. We discuss a bunch of video games both old and new, from Donkey Kong Bananza and Mafia: The Old Country, to Sean falling down the Dark Souls rabbit hole again and Jonathan finding himself many hours into a new playthrough of the original Pokémon Blue. Jonathan also talks about binging the entire run of Showtime's Dexter, and finally, Sean is up for The Monthly Ten, counting down the Top 10 podcast topics he would most dread doing. Time ChartIntro: 0:00:00 – 0:08:50News: 0:08:50 – 0:35:33School Talk: 0:35:33 – 1:27:31Jonathan's Anime Edits: 1:27:31 – 1:48:20Dexter: 1:48:20 – 2:16:53Berserk & Dark Souls: 2:16:53 – 2:44:57Pokémon Blue: 2:44:57 – 2:52:28Donkey Kong Bananza: 2:52:28 – 3:01:57Mafia: The Old Country: 3:01:57 – 3:17:06The Monthly Ten: 3:17:06 – 3:40:13 Read Jonathan Lack's movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.comSubscribe to JAPANIMATION STATION, our podcast about the wide and wonderful world of anime: https://japanimationstation.comRead Jonathan's book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vKSubscribe to our YouTube channels!

Many Amazon sellers from China excel at supply chain and operations, but struggle with branding and Western culture. This episode uncovers the hidden gap and how bridging East and West can change the game.   Join us as we welcome Feng Xiaoxiao, a distinguished leader in the Chinese e-commerce community and a driving force behind 4,000 Amazon sellers in Shenzhen. Known as Professor Xiaoxiao, Feng shares her compelling journey from Shenzhen to New York, where she is currently pursuing a master's in integrated marketing at NYU. Feng provides insightful perspectives on the hurdles Chinese Amazon sellers face, such as high advertising costs and cultural misunderstandings, which impede their efforts to establish robust brands in the U.S. market. Her dedication to bridging these cultural gaps offers a unique lens into the e-commerce challenges faced by both Chinese and American sellers.   Listen in as we explore the complexities of intellectual property (IP) awareness among Chinese sellers, heightened by Amazon's strict IP policies. Through education and adaptation, many are now prioritizing innovation and registering patents, although IP infringement remains a significant issue. We discuss the contrasting strengths of American and Chinese sellers, where Americans shine in innovation and branding, and Chinese sellers excel in product enhancement and cost reduction. This episode also touches on the misconceptions Americans may have about modern China and the potential for cross-cultural learning to enhance e-commerce strategies on platforms like Amazon.   In a fascinating conversation about cross-cultural marketing, we dive into the intersection of Chinese and American e-commerce sellers, emphasizing the necessity of mutual learning. Feng shares success stories and highlights the importance of cultural understanding and aesthetic alignment in improving brand appeal. We also discuss strategies for targeting specific U.S. audiences, using tools like Facebook data to find unique market positions. As we wrap up, the discussion turns to the opportunities for collaboration between Chinese and American sellers, aiming to foster fair competition and mutual growth in the competitive landscape of global e-commerce.   In episode 462 of the AM/PM Podcast, Kevin and Xiaoxiao discuss: 00:00 - Challenges of Chinese Amazon Sellers 02:33 - Global Connections Through Technology 06:20 - Challenges of Building US Brand  14:39 - Chinese Amazon Sellers & IP Infringements 19:01 - Cross-Cultural Marketing in E-Commerce 22:59 - Cultural Influence on Conversion Rates 29:08 - Market Research and Cultural Understanding 33:06 - Marketing Strategies and Consumer Data 37:25 - Reliability of Academic vs AI Data  41:27 - Opportunities for Chinese and American E-Commerce Seller Collaboration 48:01 - Amazon Business Owner Seeks Branding Help 54:07 - Common Ground Between East and West

A new season of podcast episodes is starting and what better place to kick it off as the world's largest business and management conference. We are recording this episode at in beautiful Copenhagen, made possible through a generous invite from who organized a recording studio for us. Being here amid symposia, professional development workshops, panels, and paper presentations makes us wonder: what does it take to produce great, stimulating, and productive academic discourse? Does it depend on the people that get invited to speak, is it about their ideas, or what else? We sit down with our friend with whom we share some stories from the events we've attended at AOM and we distil a few rules that characterize good intellectual debate: let there be cognitive conflict about the merit of ideas, be bold enough to propose new ideas, show humility for the craft and work of others, and be respectful to your colleagues.     Episode reading list Kulkarni, M., Mantere, S., Vaara, E., van den Broek, E., Pachidi, S., Glaser, V.

Naveen Verma is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Princeton and the co-founder and CEO of EnCharge AI, a startup building radically energy-efficient computers for artificial intelligence. In this episode, Naveen shares how his academic research into in-memory computing evolved over six years into a venture-backed company that's rethinking the physical limits of AI computers.Naveen explains why traditional computing models can't keep up with the energy demands of AI, how in-memory architectures unlock new efficiency, and what it means to transition from professor to startup CEO. He also opens up about how failure shaped his leadership style, why co-founder alignment is more important than titles, and what academia taught him about being an empathetic manager.Whether you're in deep tech, academia, or just curious how foundational innovation becomes a company, this episode offers a grounded and honest look at what it takes to build from the lab up.Where to find Naveen:EnCharge AIXLinkedInIn this episode, you'll learn:How to turn academic research into a real-world companyHow to find and align with the right co-foundersWhat good conflict looks like in early-stage teamsHow to fundraise as a professor-turned-founderWhy being self-aware matters more than fitting a roleHow to build culture through actions, not statementsWhat it means to lead with empathy in high-stakes environmentsTimestamps:(00:00) Why Naveen almost quit engineering (03:50) From PhD to professor to founder (07:04) What EnCharge actually builds (10:56) The six-year journey to a spinout (13:20) Why incubation matters in deep tech (15:53) Inspiration, practicality, and real-world impact (17:28) Choosing the right co-founders (20:33) Why Naveen became CEO (23:00) Conflict as a strength (24:21) Vision, perspective, and pushing back (25:49) Advice on co-founder relationships (27:59) Fundraising lessons from a first-time founder (34:19) Growing to 70+ people (35:51) Hiring for culture and long-term vision (37:01) Talking about culture without naming it (38:16) Letting go and empowering the team (41:41) Hiring non-technical leaders (43:17) What Naveen found easy and hard as a manager (45:56) How he learned to give difficult feedback (48:56) Managing stress through abstraction and presence (51:23) Academic mentors who shaped his thinking (53:08) Leadership as enabling others (55:08) Impostor syndrome and comfort with failure (58:00) Early rejections and how he bounced back (01:01:00) What everyone should know about AI (01:02:43) What Naveen wishes he knew earlier (01:04:27) Final advice to founders: normalize failureConnect with Alisa!

"The way that institutions emerge and entrench themselves and become a part of the functioning of an economy and society is because they solve some problems. So they're usually a non-market solution toward solving some problem that the economy, that the market system couldn't necessarily solve. Of course the most prominent example of an institution that solves an. Market problem in the non-market way is a firm, as Ronald Coase, of course very early on, taught us that. When a firm realizes that in some cases when transactions costs are high, you want to internalize things within the firm. That the firm is itself an institution. But these other social political institutions, they also exist to resolve some problem. And once they resolve that problem and they're resolving it adequately, then it becomes really hard to bring about change. So the institution solves a problem. So to be clear, it is better than in the absence of the institution, but it also means that without somehow breaking this institution or having some crisis that leads you to substantially reform the institution, you are going to be stuck at a suboptimal equilibrium." - Jamus Lim, author of "Asian Economies: History, Institutions and Structures" Fresh out of the studio, Associate Professor Jamus Lim from ESSEC Business School and author of "Asian Economies: History, Institutions and Structures" joined us in a comprehensive exploration of the economic foundations shaping Asia's remarkable rise. Jamus shared his story on how the Asian Financial Crisis sparked his passion for macroeconomics and development. He unpacked the critical yet often overlooked role of geography, history, and institutional frameworks in explaining Asia's immense economic diversity, arguing that abstract economic models fail to capture the real-world complexities driving regional development. Through deep dives into China's demographic transition and export-driven challenges, South Korea's state-led chaebol industrialization model, and Japan's historic shift from deflation to inflation, Jamus demonstrated how colonial legacies and historical persistence continue to shape modern economic structures across the continent. Throughout the conversation, he revealed why China's middle-income trap escape depends on building domestic consumption to absorb its massive manufacturing capacity, explained how institutional solutions that once solved problems can become growth constraints, and argued that understanding Asia's past is essential for navigating its economic future in an increasingly complex global landscape.

"Im convinced Michelle O'Neill and Emma Little-Pengelly aren't working off their on agenda and their own mind" - that's the verdict of a leading female loyalist. The ‘PUL' Community – Protestants, Unionists, Loyalists. There is sometimes debate over what those terms actually mean. That debate is suggested as being a factor in a reluctance of loyalist figures to speak to the media – especially loyalist women. What is a loyalist, are members of the PUL community media shy and is it worse for loyalist women?

On this episode, Nathan Goodman interviews sociologist Timothy Dunn on the militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border and its consequences for human rights. Dunn discusses how U.S. border militarization grew out of the Cold War era “low intensity conflict” doctrine and was expanded by both parties through the 1990s strategy of “prevention through deterrence.” While this policy reduced crossings in urban areas like El Paso and San Diego, it pushed migrants into deserts and mountains, ultimately contributing to thousands of migrant deaths. Dunn explains how U.S. military training and interventions in Central America fueled violence and migration, how financial institutions and drug war policies have perpetuated instability, how political entrepreneurs use crisis narratives to expand coercive power, and how programs like Operation Lone Star model a new wave of militarized enforcement. He calls for more humane immigration reforms grounded in human rights, economic realities, and the everyday resilience of immigrant communities.Dr. Timothy J. Dunn is a Professor of Sociology at Salisbury University in Maryland. He is the author of Blockading the Border and Human Rights: The El Paso Operation that Remade Immigration Enforcement (University of Texas Press, 2009) and The Militarization of the U.S.-Mexico Border, 1978-1992: Low-Intensity Conflict Doctrine Comes Home (University of Texas Press, 1996).Show Notes:Handbook on Human Security, Borders and Migration (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2021) edited by Natalia Ribas-Mateos and Timothy DunnTodd Miller's book, Empire of Borders: The Expansion of the US Border around the WorldJason De León's book, The Land of Open Graves: Living and Dying on the Migrant TrailGary Becker's article, "Crime and Punishment: An Economic Approach" (Journal of Political Economy, 1968)Mexican Migration ProjectMacArthur Fellowship Recipient: Kelly Lytle HernándezNo More Deaths / No Más MuertesCoalición de Derechos HumanosCoalition for Humane Immigrant RightsACLU | Immigrants' RightsIf you like the show, please subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and tell others about the show!

In this episode, Dr. Tom Green, professor emeritus of anthropology at Texas A&M University, shares his experiences with the field of Martial Arts Studies. It wasn't until after establishing himself as a professional anthropologist and folklorist that Green, a lifelong martial arts practitioner, came to realize the potential for studying the martial arts through an academic lens. Green presented the first ever paper on martial arts at the American Folklore Society and thereafter became a leading figure in the anthropology of martial arts. This conversation explores some of the methodological and epistemological approaches to what has become a legitimate, interdisciplinary field.

School is back in session, and this week we're flunking out of reality with a double feature of academic anarchy: Classof 1984 (1982) and Class of 1999 (1990). Two movies, two decades apart, same message: high school is the worst.First up is Mark L. Lester's Class of 1984, starring Perry King, Timothy Van Patten, and a very young Michael J. Fox. It's a gritty tale of punks, classroom chaos, and teachers who have officially had enough. We're talking gang violence, courtroom drama, and a soundtrack by Alice Cooper that absolutely shreds.Then we crank the absurdity dial with Class of 1999, also directed by Lester, where robot teachers go full Terminator on the student body. Featuring Pam Grier, Stacy Keach rocking a mullet-rat-tail-combo, and Malcolm McDowell as the world's most exhausted principal. Basically, it's RoboCop meets after-school detention.The guy's debate whether a punk army with switchblades is scarier than Pam Grier's robot arm, if Michael J. Fox was already plotting Back to the Future during filming, and how Stacy Keach somehow looks both 40 and 400 years old at the same time.
