Podcasts about Brave New World

What if your landlord was also your boss, mayor, bartender, and moral hall monitor? This week, Andrew Heaton talks with Brian Brushwood about the strange history of company towns—from industrial utopias to corporate feudalism—and the thin line between benevolent planning and creepy social engineering. Then they venture into Walt Disney's original vision for EPCOT: not a theme park, but a living futuristic city under a climate-controlled dome, where corporations tested new technologies on actual residents. Was Disney imagining a dazzling city of tomorrow, or accidentally inventing a family-friendly version of Brave New World?

Remember, most anti-gun "advocates" see the anti-gun cause as a religious holy cause, and damn the facts. But the peope at the top have no such illusions — the reasons that they want your guns is because they don't want you armed for their Brave New World! MichaelBane.TV - On the Radio episode # 323.

Sure, the worlds may be a bleak grayish hellscape, but there's always music!  We look at 1984 (The Orwell book, not the Van Halen album), Brave New World, the collected works of Philip K. Dick, and Frank Zappa and his rock opera Joe's Garage.  Then we get mad at a comic book.  

“AI represents successful capitalism. What we have alongside that is unsuccessful government. Government has no plan — left or right.” — Keith Teare It's the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. On June 6, 1944, there was an unambiguous end game — the defeat of Nazi Germany. But today, end games are more controversial, especially in terms of harnessing the AI revolution to benefit everyone. For Keith Teare, publisher of That Was the Week, the AI end game requires an “Institute of the Future.” Everyone from Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren to Elon Musk and Sam Altman should hammer out a plan to harness AI for the benefit of society. Keith offers the internet governance organisation ICANN as a model for this institute. It will shape the future for all of our benefit, he promises. So a D-Day for AI? I'm sceptical of this type of Brave New World-style technocracy. Firstly, Sanders, Warren, Musk and Altman agree on very little. And Musk and Altman hate each other. I'm also dubious that AI will or can benefit everyone. As Keith notes, some professions — teachers, for example — will be decimated by AI. Where I agree with Keith, however, is that we need a new politics for this new age. Political parties, rather than institutes, of the future. Innovation rather than ICANN. Five Takeaways •       The Anthropic IPO Slip — and Why SpaceX Now Looks Small: Anthropic accidentally filed for its IPO this week — what the New York Times described as a slip. The terms of SpaceX's unconventional $75 billion IPO were also revealed. Keith's observation: SpaceX now looks small by comparison. He tried to buy SpaceX shares this week through his brokerage and expects to get none — the demand will be way bigger than the supply, and the price will go up from the offering. San Francisco real estate is already feeling the Cerebras effect: 800 employees are now millionaires. The three big IPOs — Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX — will compound that on a much larger scale. •       Successful Capitalism, Unsuccessful Government: Keith's framework for the week: AI is capitalism working. Resources are directed to money-making opportunities via the profit motive, which coincides with innovation and, at least in the short term, creates lots of jobs. That is successful capitalism. Alongside it: unsuccessful government. The Trump administration went from hands-off to requiring all AI models to be submitted for a 30-day assessment before launch — in the same week. No plan. No endgame. Everyone has an opinion. Nobody states what outcome they want. •       Keith's PhD: Why Capitalism Is Never Static: Andrew challenges Keith's authority to pronounce on these matters. Keith reveals: he has a PhD from the University of Kent in Canterbury — on why capitalism is never static, and why new entrants always eclipse what went before. Andrew: that was the 1970s, Keith. Does a fifty-year-old PhD give you authority? Keith: it's a useless criticism. You could say that to anyone about anything. The exchange is revealing: the argument is not about credentials but about frameworks. And Keith's framework — capitalism as dynamic, government as static — has at least the virtue of consistency. •       Credit to Bernie and Warren: At Least They're Having the Conversation: Andrew expects Keith to trash Bernie Sanders (50% government ownership of AI companies) and Elizabeth Warren (high taxation of AI profits). Keith surprises him: at least they're having the conversation. His criticism is not that they're wrong to want wealth distribution but that their framing — tax, centralise, spend — is unattractive to most people and captured by the interests of the old economy: teachers' unions, trade unions, legacy coalitions that can't think freely about a future without teachers as they currently exist. •       An ICANN for AI: Keith's One Concrete Prescription: Andrew pushes Keith for one concrete thing politicians should do this year. Keith's answer: create an Institute for the Future. Bring Musk, Altman, Amodei, Sanders, Warren, and everyone else to the table with a clear mandate — define the future you want, agree actual outcomes, seek governmental authority to implement them. His model: ICANN, the global internet governance body, which disagrees constantly and still makes decisions. Andrew's verdict: Keith wants to create an ICANN for society. Interesting idea. History's jury is out. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter. He is a co-founder of TechCrunch and Andrew's regular TWTW co-host. He holds a PhD from the University of Kent. References: •       That Was the Week by Keith Teare. •       Noah Smith, “We Need Liberal Nationalism to Come Back” — referenced in the conversation. •       The Economist, “American Capitalism Has Taken an Apocalyptic Turn” — referenced in the conversation. •       Ben Thompson on Google becoming a capital company; John Battelle on Google reinventing itself from search to data infrastructure — both referenced. •       ICANN — the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, Keith's model for AI governance. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 2,900 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting. WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotify Chapters: (00:31) - Introduction: D-Day, June 6, and the Anthropic IPO slip (02:26) - What is the endgame?

For the first in a new set of episodes about some of the great political fictions of the past hundred years David explores Aldous Huxley's much misunderstood dystopian masterpiece Brave New World (1932). How did Huxley imagine that a future society could be both horribly regimented and crazily libertarian? Why is it Pavlovian conditioning and not genetic engineering that builds the humans of the future? What makes the book eerily prophetic of 21st-century consumer culture? And where does Shakespeare fit in? Do scroll back in your feed for many more earlier episodes of The Great Political Fictions! Out tomorrow on PPF+: a bonus episode about the other great English-language dystopia of the last century – George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Iron Maiden has earned their spot as one of the biggest touring acts of the new millenium through an unwavering work ethic and delivering quality in every way to their legion of dedicated fans. As they prepare to come to North and South American to wrap up their Run For Your Lives Tour, they released a career spanning documentary, Burning Ambition, for a limited theater run before the inevitable release on DVD/streaming. As the boys have reviewed most of Maiden's 80's output and a few live reviews on their favorite heavy metal band, you knew they were going to check this out and tell you what they thought. But Maiden have offered up many documentaries over the decades (12 Wasted Years, The Early Years Part 1, 2, 3 and Flight 666) so they were curious as to how this one would be different and how many new tidbits they'd be able to glean from this one-night doc. The movie spans their whole career starting in 1975 and talks about the vision and work ethic of one Steve Harris, the founder and leader of Maiden since its inception. Because of the huge amount of time to cover, the film didn't dive deep into the making of albums, chart success or tours but gave everyone a voice (off-screen) using footage from the 50 years of the band's career. The hardcore fans may not have learned too much but to hear the stories of famous fans like Brian Slagel (a guest of UAWIL), Javier Bardem and Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine was a nice touch. Plus, they included past members, crew members and fans from around the world sharing their stories of why they are so loyal to Iron Maiden. For the most part, they highlighted how bringing new members into the band change the music for the better (and sometimes worse), how that affected their popularity and draw as a life act and how (and why) they're still going today. They hit the highest of highs in the 1980s but burned themselves out in the process. Thanks to grunge and significant lineup changes in the 90s, they went backwards a bit, especially in America where they sometimes found themselves playing to 500 people. But the reunification with Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith on Brave New World and beyond propelled them back to the top - a place they haven't left in 25 years. And of course, there's lots of Eddie in his many incarnations - perhaps the greatest marketing image in the history of heavy metal or even recorded music. While the hardcore fans may lament a lack of details or stories about the albums, it's a cool journey to see where they came from, how they rose to the top, fell down near the bottom and rose again to be the biggest (and in our opinion best) heavy metal band in the world.

On Today's EpisodeIn this wide-ranging, just-the-two-of-them conversation, host Mark Young and co-host Matt Umbarger take a step back from the day's political headlines to tackle something bigger: what the AI revolution actually means for everyday Americans — their jobs, their health, their wealth, and their purpose. The episode runs about 75 minutes and covers everything from Elon Musk's economic predictions to a 1970s mouse experiment that may explain where our society is headed."AI is not about to take your job. Someone who knows how to use AI is going to take your job." Mark's parting challenge to listeners: don't put your head in the sand. Figure out how AI intersects with your career, get in front of it, and — most importantly — own things.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Iedere twee maanden spreekt boekenredacteur Maurice Hoogendoorn met een bekende Nederlander over drie boeken die bepalend waren in zijn of haar leven. Welke verhalen bleven hangen? Welke zinnen bleven schuren? En hoe veranderen boeken de manier waarop iemand naar de wereld kijkt? Theoloog en schrijver Alain Verheij neemt deze keer plaats tegenover Maurice. Alhoewel Verheij een non-fictie auteur is, leest hij het liefst romans. 'In fictie kan er veel gebeuren wat je in non-fictie niet kwijt kunt.' Dat is ook terug te zien in zijn boekenlijst: The sunflower van Simon Wiesenthal, Brave New World van Aldous Huxley en The Battle for Middle Earth, een boek van Fleming Rutledge over de theologie achter Lord of the Rings. De boeken gaan over vergeving, streven naar geluk en omgaan met het kwaad. Welke indruk hebben deze op Verheij achtergelaten? Hoe werkt vergeving? En hoe bied je weerstand in een maatschappij gedreven door consumptie en snel geluk? Je hoort het in deze nieuwe aflevering van de Boekenclub. De podcast liever kijken? De Boekenclub is ook te vinden op YouTube! En wil je nou ook graag meer lezen of samen met anderen lezen? Dat kan! Iedere twee maanden lezen de leden van de Boekenclub samen een boek.

Hey Bobs! We just powered through For All Mankind Season 5, Episode 8 – 'Brave New World,' and wow… this one delivered.Donnie bumped it to a 9.2 while Brian landed on a strong 8 (leaning 9). After last week's highs, this episode kept the momentum with Irena pulling strings, Miles stepping up as a leader, the governor's redemption arc, and that gut-wrenching Titan mission fallout. The final 20 minutes? Absolute cinema — tense, emotional, and full of consequences.We break down the escalating chaos on Mars, Dev's dark choices, Avery's trauma, the explosive standoff at Kuznetsov Station, and why this episode finally feels like peak FAM again. Plus: listener mail, our thoughts on the last two episodes, and why we're glued to the screen.Drop your thoughts at happyvalleyfam@gmail.com — we read every one!See you next week, Bobs!

Now we’re in the thick of it. Avery is forced to grapple with her family history as she prepares for some serious duty. Miles is forced into extreme action to protect Happy Valley long enough to get some help. Polivanov and Boyd decide to take a terrifying joy ride. Kelly really leans into the whole “Ed Baldwin’s daughter” thing. And it’s a bad day to be a Padres fan, but what else is new? Dan Moren and Jason Snell.

Comic book plots cover a wide array of topics, from UFOs, the paranormal, conspiracy theory, and even some prophecy, as much of what is being presented seems to forestructure the future and approximate what the Brave New World would be like. Granted, it's a comic book world - the challenge is to resist being seduced by comic book simplicity. On this colorful episode, Clyde Lewis has a conversation with comic book illustrator Pat Moriarity about COMICKAZE UNIFIED SQUAD. The original broadcast was live at the Oregon Historical Society on October 14, 2016.

The CGS Gang gathered to celebrate Free Comic Book Day 2026 with a comic shop crawl to Showcase Comics in Bryn Mawr, Multiverse Philly in Chestnut Hill and Brave New Worlds in Willow Grove.

You know, it's sad how some people just focus on skin colour. It doesn't matter how good someone is or how much they bring to the table, some people just can't see past the surface level appearance. It's truly unfair. I mean, it's even canon in the comic books. There is a Red Hulk. Suit up, it's time to see if Captain America: Brave New World is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices.

Journalist and author John Kampfner joins the Matts to discuss his stunning new book Braver New World - a global travelogue of bold solutions to some of the world's thorniest problems. Over three years of globetrotting to see for himself what can be done has given John a sense of belief in the future… but with some important caveats. So if you're feeling pessimistic about the future, tune in and get a dose of realistic optimism that things can get better… but only with the right spirit and culture of political risk. Enjoy!

“Stand back,” shout Silicon Valley's tech billionaires, “geniuses at work!”They refer to themselves, of course, demanding that public officials, farmers, towns, environmentalists, and all others get out of their way as they impose their massive AI data centers over rural America. “Our Big Money and Big Brains,” they exclaim, “will remake nature and produce phenomenal wealth.”Haven't we heard this before? Yes… and from these same über-rich zealots. Just a decade ago, they declared they intended to replace farmland agriculture with a techno-marvel they called “vertical farms.” Yes, instead of relying on messy, natural stuff like soil, food would henceforth be produced on sanitary plastic strays stacked to the ceilings of windowless factory warehouses controlled by computer networks. Big Tech investors like Jeff Bezos, Walmart, and Japan's SoftBank plowed hundreds of billions of dollars into their “reinvention” of agriculture.But what the geniuses actually produced was a bumper crop of bankruptcies, for the tech bros knew nothing about farming. Sure, displacing nature meant saving money to till the soil and feed the hogs, but those costs are nothing compared to the piles of capital required to pay for the ever-rising costs of corporate infrastructure, computers, utilities, executive salaries, administrative overhead… and capital itself.Worse, the clueless corporatizers were surprised to discover that consumers are not actually motivated to buy a head of lettuce just because it was “vertically farmed.” So, with exorbitant costs and zero market appeal, the tech geniuses' ag revolution fizzled.Let us all recall this as Bezos and his billionaire coterie now insist we must follow them into their Brave New World of artificial intelligence.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

On this 40th anniversary of Covenant Church, this message highlights the importance of recognizing that where we are today is the result of the faithfulness of those who came before us—people who said “yes” to God, stepped out in faith, and built a foundation for future generations. As we reflect on its past and looks toward an uncertain future, it emphasizes unchanging truths that anchor believers in every season: God is faithful, humanity is imperfect, and the mission of the church remains the same—to faithfully live out the gospel in a changing world. Rather than clinging only to the past or focusing solely on what's ahead, believers are called to hold both in tension, learning from past faithfulness while stepping forward in obedience today. Ultimately, it is a call for this generation to trust God, engage the world around them, and live faithfully so that those who come after will be able to stand on their legacy and continue the work.

Jacks joins us this week to begin our journey into Hope Valley: 1874. ABOUT: HOPE VALLEY: 1874 (SEASON 1 EPISODE 1) The day of the long-awaited trial arrives for Bill and Nathan; Lucas contemplates his future. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: HOPE VALLEY: 1874 (SEASON 1 EPISODE 1) March 15, 2026 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF: HOPE VALLEY: 1874 (SEASON 1 EPISODE 1) Bethany Joy Lenz as Rebecca Clarke  Benjamin Ayres as Tom Moore BRAN'S HOPE VALLEY: 1874 (SEASON 1 EPISODE 1) SYNOPSIS 300 red coats are officially becoming mounties. They've finally done it! We meet Rebecca and her daughter Sarah. They're heading west on their horse and carriage but the carriage wheel breaks. So they have to ditch the carriage so that they can keep going, but she stumbles upon an old, broken carriage on the path. So she takes that wheel and brings it back and replaces her broken wheel with that one. We find out that they're on their way to buy a boardinghouse that she saw was for sale in the papers. They stop for water at a stream where some gold miners are. While Rebecca is getting water, some explosives go off in the distance, scaring the horses. They run off with Sarah still in it. Luckily, a dude named Tom is there. Now there is something you need to know - Tom is hot. He's a rancher and he goes to tell this gold miner Doyal to cut it out with the dynamite and Doyal didn't appreciate it. Tom sees the wheel and is like uh oh, that's not in great shape. I can help ya fix it. Back at the mounties, we meet Alexander Vaughn. He just graduated top of his class and is being stationed in the gold zone. So, Tom gives Rebecca and Sarah a ride into town. They are greeted by some other folks who live there. We find out that Rebecca's husband passed recently. And later, when talking to her daughter, we find out that they fled from where they're from to get away from some people. The next day, she helps Tom with this big cut on his hand that he got when helping stop her horse. She meets Hattie - a fellow widow. She's nice I guess. Rebecca asks Tom if he can help her find the boarding house. He is like oh no girlfriend...you got swindled. He takes her to what we know as the Saloon in When Calls the Heart and it's an absolute disaster. We meet Lars and Rachel Yost - potentially Ned's parents? They sell some stuff to Hattie who makes sure that they have enough to get by. That night, a massive storm comes, so Tom invites them in from their tent to stay dry. The next day, she finds her daughter helping Tom feed a baby cow. She decides to tell her daughter about how they were scammed. Rebecca is quickly thrown into the fire - she has to help Rachel give birth. It is indeed Ned. She goes out on horseback to look out at the mountains and it is beautiful. This gets her thinking....maybe she should stick around, try to fix the boarding house up. She tells her daughter they're staying and then promptly forces her daughter to go make friends. Doyal ends up showing up and picking a fight with Tom but right as they're about to fight, the new mountie shows up. He tells them to cut it out and Tom is like who are you? He's like I'm the law and we see Rebecca give her daughter a worried look. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

Welcome to a spoiler filled discussion of the latest Captain American movie! And by "spoilers," we mean that we spoil the movie even more than the trailer already did! Overall, we weren't super happy with the film but Tim didn't completely hate it so that's something anyway...

In this episode, your favorite hosts are wrapping up the final week of Marvel March. The trio discusses "Captain America: Brave New World," which they note is Sam Wilson's first solo film since officially taking on the mantle of Captain America. Overall, this film is not a bad entry into the MCU (despite what some reviews indicated). Harrison Ford is always a welcome addition to any film, and he worked well with Anthony Mackie.Produced by: Limitless Broadcasting Network.For more info, merch, and all the other podcasts, visit: www.limitlessbroadcastingnetwork.comCheck out Ashley's Disney deep dives at: pixiedustfiles.wordpress.comFollow your new Disney besties on Instagram @pixiedusttwinspodcastFollow Dan, honorary third host of the "Pixie Dust Twins" Podcast, and King of the Manifestos: @Dantaastic on Instagram and YouTube

We have a treat this week: My husband Bill read Brave New World shortly after I did, so today we discuss it together!BNW presents a dystopian world that feels less like oppression and more like a perfectly engineered system. In this world, humans are no longer born but manufactured, sorted into castes, and conditioned for their roles. The goal is “community, identity, stability,” maintained through constant consumption, casual sex, and a drug called soma that keeps everyone comfortably numb.When Bernard, an uneasy insider, brings John “the Savage” back from a reservation, the cracks begin to show. Raised on The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, John sees what others cannot: a world without family, love, or real freedom.Huxley's warns us about seduction. This is a society people don't resist—because they've been trained not to want anything deeper. Which raises the real question: if everything works, what exactly have we lost?

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: Brad Stulberg is a bestselling author and leading expert on sustainable performance and well-being. He's written for The New York Times, Outside Magazine, and The Atlantic, and his previous books include Peak Performance and The Practice of Groundedness. His latest book, The Way of Excellence, is great. Brad's writing combines cutting-edge science, ancient wisdom, and stories from world-class performers to help people do their best work without losing themselves in the process. Notes: Never pre-judge a performance. When you're feeling tired, uninspired, or off your game, show up anyway. Remember the Beatles scene—they looked bored and exhausted, but Paul still wrote "Get Back" that day. You don't know what's possible until you get going. Discipline means doing what needs to be done regardless of how you feel. As powerlifter Layne Norton says, we don't need to feel good to get going... We need to get going to give ourselves a chance to feel good. Stop waiting for motivation. Start moving and let the feeling follow. Audit who you're surrounding yourself with. The Air Force study is striking: the least fit person in your squadron determines everyone else's fitness level. If you sit within 25 feet of a high performer at work, your performance improves 15%. Within 25 feet of a low performer? It declines 30%. Your environment isn't neutral... Choose wisely. Treat curiosity like a muscle. It's a reward-based behavior that gets stronger with use. When Kobe said he played "to figure things out," he was tapping into the neural circuitry that makes learning feel good and builds upon itself. Ask more questions. Stay curious about your craft. Excellence isn't about perfection or optimization... It's about mastery and mattering. It's about showing up consistently, surrounding yourself wisely, and staying curious along the way. To the late Robert Pirsig - one of the greatest blessings and joys and sources of satisfaction in my life is to be in conversation with your work. He's the author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance— "gumption is the psychic gasoline that keeps the whole thing going." Arrogant people are loud. Confident people are quiet. Confidence requires evidence. The neural circuitry associated with curiosity is like a muscle: it gets stronger with use. Curiosity is what neuroscientists call a reward-based behavior. It feels good, motivates us to keep going, and builds upon itself. Kobe didn't play to win. He played to learn and grow. Kobe Bryant said he didn't play not to lose, and he didn't even play to win. He played to learn and to grow. He said the reason he did that is because it's so much more freeing. If you're really trying not to lose, you're going to be tight. If you're really trying to win, you're going to be tight. But if you're just out there to grow, you're going to be in the moment. When you're in the moment, you give yourself the best chance of having the performance you want. The word compete comes from the Latin root word com, which means together, and petere, which means to seek, rise up, or strive. In its most genuine form, competition is about rising together (Caitlin Clark's story against LSU). Love: The Detroit Lions had just won their first playoff game in 32 years. Following the game was a scene of pure jubilation. During a short break from the celebrating, the head coach, GM, and quarterback all gave brief speeches. Which collectively lasted about 2 minutes. During those 2 minutes, the word LOVE was repeated 7 times. Homeostatic regulation -- Sense it in the greatness of others and when you're at your best. What Brad calls "excellence." Surround yourself with people who have high standards. When things don't go your way, when you're inevitably heartbroken or frustrated, it's the people around you, the books you read, the art around you, the music you listen to, that's the stuff that speaks to you and keeps you going. It keeps you on the path even amidst the heartbreak. Process goals work better than outcome goals for most people. If you're an amateur, you should be process-focused. When I train for powerlifting, I don't think about the meet that I'm training for. I think about showing up for the session today. If I think about the meeting, I get anxious, and my performance goes down. But if you're Steph Curry and you've been doing your thing for 20 years, you can think about winning the gold medal because your process is so automatic. For 99% of people, focus on the process. "Brave New World" turns fear into curiosity. When you walk up to a bar loaded with more weight than you've ever touched, there can be fear about what it's going to feel like. If you go up to the bar with fear, you're going to miss the lift. If you're convinced you're going to make it, you'll make it, but your nervous system knows when you're lying to yourself. The middle ground is curiosity. Instead of saying "that's heavy, it's scary," I say "Brave New World. I've never touched this weight before. I have no idea what's going to happen, but let's find out." It splits the difference. I'm hyped, I'm giving myself a chance, I'm not lying to myself, but I'm also not scared. Curiosity and fear cannot exist at the same time in the brain. There are seven pathways in the brain defined by affective neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp. Two of those pathways are the rage/fear pathway and the seeking/curiosity pathway. These pathways cannot be turned on at the same time. They compete for resources. It's a zero sum game. You cannot simultaneously be raging and curious. You cannot be terrified and curious at the same time. If you get into a mindset of curiosity, it's extremely hard to be angry or terrified. By being curious, we turn off the fear deep in our brains and give ourselves a chance to perform our best. Practice curiosity in lower-consequence situations first. Curiosity is like a muscle. If you're about to do something absolutely terrifying and you're really scared and you say, "I'm just going to be curious," you know you're lying to yourself. You have to practice in lower-consequence situations first. When you, as a paren,t get really upset with your kid, try to be curious about their experience. Watch your anger calm down. When you as a leader, have a board presentation where you're feeling anxious, try to have that mindset of "Brave New World." When you're an athlete going into a big game obsessing about what could go wrong, try to be really curious instead. The best competitors have emotional flexibility. As a competitor, you would know that in the confines of the game, you're not singing Kumbaya, you are trying to kill them. Then you have the emotional flexibility the minute that game ends to respect them as a person. That is the best way to compete. That's when our best performances happen. It's not either/or, it's both/and. It's playing really hard, giving everything you can for the win, seizing on your opponent's vulnerability, at the same time as having deep respect for them. You don't have to be miserable to be excellent. There are people like David Goggins or Michael Jordan who seem motivated by anger and a chip on their shoulder. But Jordan would put his tongue out like this primal expression of joy when he was about to dunk. And Jordan won all his championships while being coached by Phil Jackson, the Zen master of compassion. There are the Steph Currys of the world, or Courtney Dauwalter (best ultra marathoner to ever exist), or Albert Einstein (total mystic who had so much fun in his work). There are two ways to the top of the mountain. For 99.999% of people, you end up performing better with fun and joy, and you have so much more satisfaction, which contributes to longevity. The best leaders take work seriously but laugh at themselves. The best leaders I know in the corporate world, they take the work so seriously. They are so intense. But my God, do they laugh at themselves and their colleagues and have fun. Reflection Questions Brad says, "The things that break your heart are the things that fill your life with meaning." What are you currently holding back from caring deeply about because you're afraid of getting hurt? What would it look like to step fully into that arena despite the risk of heartbreak? The Air Force study showed that sitting within 25 feet of a low performer decreases your performance by 30%. Honestly assess who you're spending the most time with right now. Are they raising your standards or lowering them? What specific change could you make this month to shift your environment? Brad uses "Brave New World" to turn fear into curiosity before big challenges. Think of something coming up that makes you anxious. Instead of trying to convince yourself you'll succeed or dwelling on the fear, what does it feel like to approach it with pure curiosity: "I've never done this before. Let's find out what happens."
