On her first day as CEO of PepsiCo, Indra Nooyi fired her general counsel. Then rehired him before dinner. It wasn't a stunt. It was a signal.  She ran a $200 billion empire the same way she ran her life: with surgical precision, uncompromising standards, and an allergy to corporate theater. But here's what separates this conversation from every other CEO interview: she tells you what her massive ambition cost her and her family. What it means to carry the hopes of millions who look like you. What happens when a strategy you bet your career on starts to crumble. She reveals her private system for tracking 400 rising stars inside of a corporate giant and the advice Steve Jobs gave her that changed everything.  If you've ever felt the pull between ambition and identity, this one's for you. Indra doesn't just talk about power. She shows what it costs.  Approximate timestamps: Subject to variation due to dynamically inserted ads: （03:53）Growing Up In India （11:07） Lessons From Working In Consulting （21:36） Being Direct As A Leader / Delivering A Message That Gets Heard （24:14） Developing Talent （26:42）How To Minimize Office Politics （32:56）Prioritizing Work / Finding Balance （37:30）Turnover After A CEO Change （42:10） CEO Vs Board Member （46:22）Implementable Change In A Company （48:17） Removing Friction Instead Of Using Force （48:34）How To Be A Good Board Member （49:47）Lessons From Amazon （51:36） Leading Through Crisis （55:18） Dealing With Activist Investors （59:13） Women As CEOS / Biases In The Workplace （01:00:42) Equality of Opportunity / How To Hire The Best （01:03:50）Bias In Performance Reviews （01:05:27）Almost Quitting PepsiCo （01:07:05）What I Learned From Steve Jobs （01:11:51）Lessons From Costco And Walmart （01:20:00）Secrets to PepsiCo Merchandising （01:21:01）Outsourcing Bottlers At PepsiCo Then Reversing The Decision （01:22:16）Making Decisions At A Multi-Billion Dollar Company （01:23:56）Lessons From Acquisitions （01:27:09) Traits Of A High Performing Employee （01:29:01） Remote Work Vs In Office Thanks to our sponsors for supporting this episode: NORDVPN: To get the best discount off your NordVPN plan go to ⁠⁠⁠nordvpn.com/KNOWLEDGEPROJECT⁠⁠.

The job was editor-in-chief. The goal was to become the platform. And she did.  Once she made it to the top, she didn't just edit Vogue. She reinvented the power structures beneath it. This episode unpacks how a British girl who couldn't type built the most bulletproof career in media, survived five decades of disruption, and made herself indispensable to fashion, politics, and culture.   You'll hear how she weaponized speed over perfection, fired half the Vogue staff in three days, and turned a porn-funded job into a fashion laboratory. Why she said “Your job” when asked what she wanted. Why she put Madonna on the cover at the peak of a scandal. Why standards—not popularity—are her real moat. It's not about fashion. It's about building systems no one can take from you.   Most people aim for realistic. Anna Wintour named her destination—Editor of Vogue—at sixteen, then built a ladder no one else could climb.  This episode is for informational purposes only and is based on Amy Odell's Anna: The Biography.

How do you build a high-performance culture without turning your company into the Hunger Games? Reed Hastings, co-founder and former CEO of Netflix, shares lessons from a career spent rewriting the rules—from severance as a management tool to “big-hearted champions who pick up the trash.” In this episode, he reveals how Netflix scaled trust, made bold bets before the data was in, and kept its edge by treating employees like adults—not assets. You'll hear how Hastings evaluates talent beyond the interview, the reason he avoids performance improvement plans, and what most leaders misunderstand about judgment, feedback, and innovation.  You'll also hear why he placed a $100 million bet on House of Cards with no pilot, how Drive to Survive changed an entire sport, and why Squid Game caught even Netflix by surprise.  Now focused on a new chapter—owning a ski mountain, reshaping education through AI tutors, and supporting charter schools—Hastings is still doing what he does best: building systems that scale culture, not just product.  If you care about performance without politics—or culture without the clichés—this is a blueprint from one of the clearest thinkers in modern business.  Approximate timestamps: Subject to variation due to dynamically inserted ads: (3:09) Powder Mountain, Skiing Industry, & Buying a Mountain (6:36) Setting Culture in an Organization (9:21) Hiring Process and Evaluating Candidates (14:24) Netflix's 2009 Slide Deck Release (16:26) Talent Density and Performance Culture (17:59) Loyalty and Team Building (19:56) Severance Packages (22:17) Process Vs.

Eight Super Bowl rings. Six with the Patriots. And a mindset that goes far deeper than football. In this rare, wide-ranging conversation, Bill Belichick breaks down the invisible factors behind sustained excellence: discipline, preparation, and the mental edge that separates contenders from champions. He shares the surprising reason he kept Tom Brady as a fourth-string rookie, why talent alone is never enough at the highest level, and how true competitors find ways to win long after their gifts fade.  You'll hear why Belichick cut a player the week of the Super Bowl, how technology is changing player preparation and locker room culture, and why “we have control of the game” became the rallying belief in the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history. This episode covers everything from how he decides when to push a player—or pull back—to how trust is built inside elite teams. Belichick also explains why the price of success is always paid in advance—and why there's no shortcut around the work. If you lead a team, or want to lead yourself better, this episode is a masterclass from the greatest football mind of our time.  Approximate timestamps: Subject to variation due to dynamically inserted ads: (00:42) Patriots' Employee Guiding Principles (04:25) Talent vs Hard Work (05:43) Competitive Spirit (10:38) You Cannot Win Until You Keep From Losing (15:11) The Drawer and Prioritizing Your Goals (17:07) Social Media, Technology, and Football (24:45) Preparation and Success (27:55) Confidence In The NFL (29:45) Kobe Bryant & Learning To Evolve As You Get Older (31:02) Other Guest Speakers And Their Lessons (32:28) Disciplining NFL Players (39:45) Working Your Way Up & How To Train Staff (47:56) Motivation & Discipline (56:08) Correcting Mistakes and Moving On (58:28) Building A Team vs Collecting Talent (01:00:13) How Has NFL Coaching Changed In The Last 5 Years?

Guys Questions Hey guys, I really love your show. My question is about food safe finishes. I do a lot of CNC carving and one of my favorite is deviled egg trays. The first couple I made for my wife I just finished with some butcher block oil, the composition of an egg Has something  in it I think and it quickly turned the reliefs in the wood surface black. I talked to my sister-in-law who's a chemical engineer and she told me that polyurethane once it's cured would be fine for this. I have done a few with this and it seems to be holding up OK but I am curious what your guys thoughts are  on the long-term effect of this. Most of my egg trays are made out of a butcher block style material that has lots of maple cherry ash a little bit of oak and various leftovers. Unfortunately, I can't use walnut in my wood shop due to my wife's tree nut allergy again guys. I really appreciate your podcast and look forward to listening to it. Albert Thanks for the great podcast, I learn something from every episode.  I recently made a few band saw boxes for Christmas gifts.  They are a good way to use up some offcut lumber and the family seems to appreciate something handmade.   The 3 drawer box with a curved top and side (pictures attached) caused me a bit of trouble.   Joni had preciously asked for a sideboard style cabinet to place between out living and dinning room areas.  After 2-3 month we still hadn't found a design she liked....until she saw the curved band saw box.  I quote "I love that design and want one like that only much bigger"   My question is what suggestions do you have for making the curved top and sides,  I am thinking the sides could be made using walnut plywood by cutting kerfs and bending the plywood over a frame but I am open to other ideas.   The top has me stumped, I have made segmented arches for a table support  but they were only 4" wide and I cut the arch on a band saw.  That would not work for a wide dresser top. Approximate dimensions would be 30" -35" wide and 45- 55" tall and 20-22" deep Thanks in advance for you help DH I realize this isn't a fine precision woodworking question, but I figure you guys have probably dealt with manhandling sheets of plywood. We have about 140 sheets of plywood that we need to put down on a floor. The median age of the guys doing this is somewhere between 65 and 70. Any suggestions for how to safely handle this many sheets of plywood to minimize strains and injuries ? Thanks,  Mark Huys Questions Good Morning, I appreciate the podcast as I continue to learn its been a great resource, thank you! Quick background. I grew up watching PBS's Norm Abram and This Old House but never had much opportunity to learn wood working. As an adult I started learning both construction building and cabinet/furniture making helping others, reading and youtube etc. Starting in basement workshops with mostly benchtop tools. ~15 years into the journey I am starting to get a decent foundation. Recently I built a house with a planned garage workshop and have started outfitting it. Bones are there, lots of organization needed but I have now have 3hp grizzly table saw, bosch miter saw with large counter style station, 8" Grizzly jointer, 24" Grizzly Drum Sander, Grizzly Bandsaw and dust collector Planer still needs upgrading, have a Ridgid 13" but watching for a used 20" helical head. I have been busy chasing used deals! Also recently setup a 10'x10' popup tent with furnace filter setup tied into 12" exhaust fan as a spray booth, works great! Spraying with a Fuji mini mite 5 stage and PPS cup system.  Space is 32'x32' when cars are out with 12' ceiling, in floor heat. Rural northern New York. Not a Rockler or similar store within a days drive but we have ample local sawmills to find solid wood if your willing to mill it and access to cabinet grade plywood delivered from suppliers. With this shop setup I am now building cabinets, furniture, trim, doors etc for our house. Starting in some areas I don't mind making some mistakes. Two areas that I am struggling to figure out: Finishes-your recent episode had some decent comments but I would love a thorough discussion on when you would choose a certain finish over another. In particular thinking of kitchen cabinets, vanities, built in's, kitchen table. High traffic areas. I have played around with conversion varnish from Woodwright. Seems like very durable stuff and I don't mind cleaning up with solvent but when is that necessary vs going with an easier to work with finish such as Sherwin Williams Emerald? Or middle ground lacquer??I do have Bob Flexners book but would love to hear your experiences/ opinions? If I do use conversion varnish how do you handle any touch ups? I have quite a lot of experience with airless on sheetrock so its not a huge jump but any suggestions on HVLP setups, when to use which tips etc. would be helpful. *Doors- I appreciated the conversation on doors recently. I have several very custom interior and exterior doors I want to tackle. I agree with your comments on buying pre hung for standard doors but between custom nature of what we want and because I just want to do it I am going to try to build my own. I want to buy the festool domino machines in time anyhow and I think that would be a good way to build the doors. I would enjoy hearing a conversation on specifics on how you would choose to build interior vs exterior doors, rail and style material vs. panel material vs jamb material. Is there a way to insulate the exterior door? Finishes? If you had the shop described above and both domino size machines what would you do? Thank you! Matt Wendig This one is a wood selection question. I am looking for a wood that has both good elasticity and shock resistance. I am building a Japanese makiwara board, which is a training tool that provides progressive resistance to striking force by the martial artist. The training board is about 55" tall, 5" wide and is tapered - so thick at the base and gradually tapers to the top. This allows for "flex" when the board is struck. In Japan - Japanese beech is typically used, but not readily available near me. I am thinking along the lines of Ash or Elm for my build. I appreciate your thoughts. Crafted Carpentry Tampa Hello gentlemen and thank you for the wonderful podcast. I live in the niagara region in Ontario Canada and for the last while I've been looking at upgrading my current table saw (Ridgid R4520) to something that runs on 220v for more power  or possibly replacing it all together with a bandsaw.  I have an oversized single car garage that houses my furnace, hot water tank, ATV, motorcycle, mechanical shop and woodshop so space is at a premium and that is the motivation to possibly do away with a table saw all together. I have a router table, mitre saw and track saw so I feel all the functions I may lose not having a table saw will still be covered by these tools plus I have a Ridgid job site table saw (R4518ns) I use for the odd job I do off site. I currently have an older 110v 14" king bandsaw that I find severely underpowered and that I want to replace anyways, so with the sale of my current bandsaw and table saw plus my current budget and with some convincing of my wife I'm thinking I'll have roughly $3000-3300CAD to buy either one bandsaw or have to use those fund to buy both a bandsaw and table saw. I am 6'4" and if my memory serves me correctly guy has said Laguna bandsaw tables are closer to the ground and I've quickly looked at some king bandsaw and craftex bandsaws but I'm not sold on them either. So my question question to you guys is, what would you do? Use all the funds on a bandsaw and if so which one and what type of blades should I purchase with it? Or split up the funds to purchase 2 machines and again which ones? And do you go new or used in both of those situations? Thank you ahead of time for taking the time to read and respond to my inquiry. James

What if the world's most connected tech investor handed you his mental playbook? Elad Gil, an investor behind Airbnb, Stripe, Coinbase and Anduril, flips conventional wisdom on its head and prioritizes market opportunities over founders. Elad decodes why innovation has clustered geographically throughout history, from Renaissance Florence to Silicon Valley, where today 25% of global tech wealth is created. We get into why he believes AI is dramatically under-hyped and still under-appreciated, why remote work hampers innovation, and the self-inflicted wounds that he's seen kill most startups.   This is a masterclass in pattern recognition from one of tech's most consistent and accurate forecasters, revealing the counterintuitive principles behind identifying world-changing ideas.  Disclaimer: This episode was recorded in January. The pace of AI development is staggering, and some of what we discussed has already evolved. But the mental models Elad shares about strategy, judgment, and high-agency thinking are timeless and will remain relevant for years to come.

We may be a little late for Valentine's Day, but that didn't stop this couple from heading to the theater to check out the new holiday-themed slasher film from Josh Ruben.

Our goal was to get to some more gialli this year, so we're starting off with Dario Argento's second film The Cat O' Nine Tails. This one is technically a giallo but has a lot more in common with Italian poliziotteschi than anything else, and interestingly it refrains from dealing in most of the common tropes of the sub-genre. We talk about the somewhat mundane plotting of this murder mystery, the pseudo-science of XYY chromosomes, and Argento's beginnings. We're also drinking Ommegang x Other Half's Neon Gleam double-dry hopped IPA!

In honor of David Lynch, we present our first episode for one of his films. Blue Velvet is an important movie for a lot of reasons - mainly that it helps set the tone of contemporary quirky neo-noir - but also because it (probably) enlightened a lot of people on the importance of Pabst Blue Ribbon. We're celebrating with a Heineken/PBR comparison, discussion about the surreal dreaminess and male gaze in the film, and a lot more.

For our final Festivus episode of 2024, we're taking a look at a film we thought we already did for the show: 2004's Christmas with the Kranks! It also happens to be the 20th anniversary of the film.

We're tackling another classic Christmas horror slasher, this time replacing a killer Santa with a guy who kills Santas.

We know Pauly Shore isn't everyone's boat of gravy, and he's even Martin's not a fan. But we thought this year's Thanksgiving episode would go good with a side of Shore, so we're doing the oft-overlooked classic Son in Law. A favorite of Ryne's family, we get two opposing views about this comedy that involves a California transplant learning the farm life in South Dakota and, eventually, being roofied by his friend's ex-boyfriend. We talk about the movie, our Thanksgiving festivities, and a lot more on this special episode. We're also drinking 3 Floyds War Mullet Double IPA, the first 3 Floyds on the show.

RIP Tony Todd. In honor of the Candyman himself, we decided it was high time we tackled a classic Gothic slasher that we've put off for too long.

We also discuss who wins in the battle between Candyman and Bloody Mary - or is it Helen? We're drinking Saranac's newly revitalized White IPA on this episode!

For our last episode of Saxon Samhain, we're tackling a lesser known, horny and hair-raising John Saxon film with My Mom's a Werewolf from 1989. This film seems like it would meet the pre-teen dynamic of other films of the time like Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead but it's a lot more risque than that, banking on sexual innuendos and the inner animal as part of its werewolf metaphor. And you know what, it's pretty fun for what it does - we talk about the great Saxon in a Vincent Price-style role, the film's hamfisted comedy, and there's even some actual Halloween in the movie too! We're also drinking 1911 Hard Cider's Loganberry Buffalo Bills tie-in.

Not to be confused with Sergio Martino's other scorpion movie The Case of the Scorpion's Tale, this pseudo-giallo film follows an ancient Etruscan history, the murder of John Saxon's character, and a drug-smuggling ring in a very muddled plot that was originally intended to be a limited run TV series. Unfortunately, this movie is often tedious to get through and has no real grasp of the viewer throughout, so we struggle to find some interesting things to say about this misstep in Martino's filmography.

We're tackling a creature feature of sorts with The Bees, not the only movie about stinging insects to be released in 1978. It is, however, one of the weirder ones in the canon due to its scientific exploration of bee language, their sentience, and a lot of mumbo jumbo about the Big Honey industry. We talk about all of that and more, and it's important to note this one scores big on the Saxon-y Scale. We're also drinking Burlington Beer Company's Light in the Window Rye IPA.

Oof - beyond a stinker! This 1980 possession film starring John Saxon and Lynda Day George was a tough one to get through and a tough one to talk about, mostly because not a lot happens. As a haunted house movie, it's boring; as a tale of a housewife overcome by the ghost of a malevolent spirit, it's boring; as a John Saxon movie, it's boring. There's just no better way to put it, and we talk about where it all goes wrong on this episode. We're drinking Fidens' Festbier for the beer on the show! At least that was good.

We're kicking off the Halloween season this year with our new series, Saxon Samhain, where we take a look at various John Saxon horror movies! First up is The Evil Eye, which gets confusing because this Mario Bava film has two versions. We're specifically talking about the American AIP version that features a different ending, different score, and a couple of edits; we also do talk a little about the Italian version The Girl Who Knew Too Much.

Since we've already covered Escape from New York, it was only right that we also do the Italian copycat film Escape from the Bronx, which, as we quickly point out, actually has nothing to do with escaping. This sequel to 1990: The Bronx Warriors certainly has a lot in common with its brethren but it does a number of things differently, and more importantly its extremely low budget means lots of unintentional laughs abound. Look for dummies blowing up, lots of extras playing laser tag, and a lot more. We're also drinking Finback Brewing's Rolling in Clouds IPA.

We never experienced Hackers when it came out in our glorious year of 1995, but man, the nostalgia still hits hard here. The dress, the aesthetic, the cyberspace visuals - all of that is so '90s it hurts sometimes, and we're here for it. We're talking all things cybertechnic here, from the techno score to the complex virus warfare to... Penn Jillette and Marc Anthony showing up in the movie?! We're also drinking Speckled Pig's My Boy Blue Blueberry Pilsner!
