For International Education Week, Sarah and Jon talk with Dr. Judyth Sachs, chief academic officer at Studiosity, about the pressures students face across borders—well-being, finances, language, and the challenge of feeling at home on campus—and how these issues are shaping the choices international students make about where to study. Sachs also offers a frank view of how "Brand USA" is being perceived abroad and what that means for global competition for students and scholars.  But first, the hosts walk through the newest Open Doors data showing a 17 percent drop in new international student enrollment and what the numbers suggest about visa policy, research funding, and the trajectory of U.S. higher education in the year ahead.  Here are some of the links and references from this week's show:  2025 Open Doors Report Open Doors Data Portal IIE Press Release on Open Doors 2025 Studiosity website Studiosity Global Student Wellbeing Survey Australian Government Department of Education Student Experience Survey (SES) – International Key Findings From Cash Cows to Valued Voices Report (Australia) International Students and the Australian Economy (Reserve Bank of Australia Bulletin) — July 2025

The Democratic Party won big on Tuesday but what does it mean? They're still running away from Zohran Mandani while promoting "centrists" like Navy Vet Mikie Sherrill and CIA operative Abigail Spanberger. Meanwhile, there's conflict within the Republican Party brewing with Marjorie Taylor Greene possibly seeing cracks in Trump's armor and calling him out on Israel, health care, the Epstein Files, and even aid to Argentina, while the establishment GOP is just shocked, shocked that Tucker Carlson platformed Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes. Amid the condemnations no one is reminding Americans that Fuentes was Trump's guest at Mar-a-Largo.In the end, the Democrats remain the Washington Generals of Politics.--------

Welcome to episode #1008 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). What if artificial intelligence didn't just build faster startups... but redefined what it means to be an entrepreneur? Henrik Werdelin has been exploring that question for years. As the co-founder of Bark (the company behind BarkBox and the new Bark Air) and Prehype (the startup studio that helped launch ventures like AndCo, Ro, and ManagedByQ), Henrik (who also has a great podcast called, Beyond The Prompt) has spent his career creating businesses that live at the intersection of creativity, community and technology. Now, with his new book Me, My Customer And AI, he's rethinking entrepreneurship for a world where anyone can start a business, but few will build one that truly matters. In this conversation, we explore how AI is changing human behavior, the paradox of accessibility and saturation, and why "interestingness" may be the new metric of success. Henrik explains why the future of entrepreneurship isn't about scale, it's about intimacy, authenticity and knowing your customer better than anyone else. We also discuss his latest venture, Audos, a platform designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs build companies using AI agents, and how this movement could usher in a new "neighborhood economy" where small, deeply connected businesses thrive. From reflections on the early internet to insights about the next wave of AI-driven startups, Henrik's ideas are both practical and profoundly human, reminding us that even in an algorithmic age, it's our relationships, our curiosity and our resilience that will define what's next.

Welcome to episode #1007 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). The debate over hybrid work has become one of the most emotionally charged topics in business... but few people have studied it as deeply as Peter Cappelli, the George W. Taylor Professor of Management at the Wharton School and Director of its Center for Human Resources. In his latest book, In Praise Of The Office - The Limits To Hybrid And Remote Work, co-authored with Ranya Nehmeh, Peter challenges the idea that remote work is the inevitable future of knowledge work. Drawing from decades of research and real-world case studies, he argues that while technology has allowed us to untether from our desks, it has also quietly eroded the social fabric, mentorship and serendipity that make work meaningful, and organizations effective. In this conversation, Peter dives into the paradox of productivity versus connection, exploring why human resources has become more transactional, how AI is reshaping education and engagement, and why hybrid work often brings out the worst of both worlds when poorly managed. He also unpack how the office - once dismissed as a relic of corporate control - remains a critical engine for creativity, trust and long-term career growth. From the psychology of “coffee badging” to the economics of empty buildings, this discussion examines not just where we work, but what we risk losing when we stop showing up.

Nestlé slashes 16,000 jobs—mostly white-collar, as AI now crunches numbers faster than accountants can say “chocolate river.” Meta cuts 600 from its super-intelligence team (the irony writes itself), Paycom drops 500 engineers (guess the bots finally learned to code), Handshake axes over 100 (pivoting to “AI-centric tech” = fancy talk for “we're toast”), and even programmatic darling Appcast trims 32. The hot acquisition pitch? JobGet should buy Handshake and rebrand it Handjob.com—because nothing screams “career move” like a domain that triggers every corporate filter. The bullshit meter detonates. Facebook resurrects its job board after killing it in 2023—rumor has it Zuck's prepping AR glasses where “Starbucks is hiring” beams directly into your latte-fueled daydreams. X quietly buries its LinkedIn-killer tab (Elon's too busy monetizing outrage). Adzuna unveils a “revolutionary” search that's basically ZipRecruiter's Phil minus the creepy spokesperson—half-baked, no employer-side matching, and it begs for your email like a desperate Tinder bio. Metaview's Chicago billboard (“Who says hiring has to be fair?”) gets flayed: four-second glance, logo smaller than a South Park punchline, and DEI messaging dumber than a rock. Fix? “Effective AI. Giant Logo. Metaview.com.” Done. Stop torching $35M on ego art. Funding fireworks: Findem.ai pockets another $51M, hitting $105M total (Intello 2.0, now with agent spice—same data warehouse, new flavor packet). Deel raises $300M, pushing its war chest to $1.3B at a $17.3B valuation—enough to buy a mid-sized nation and still tip the barista. Armstrong grabs $12M for AI dish-washing robots (Taco Bell's drive-thru is about to ghost human order-takers faster than you can say “Doritos Locos”). Jack & Jill scores $20M for conversational job alerts—talk to your laptop, get emailed Indeed links. Groundbreaking… if it's 2001. Economy's a K-shaped tire fire: Hamburger Helper sales spike 14% (flashbacks to salty 70s trauma: “Dad tried to fix it with more salt—burned my mouth and my will to live”). Freight rates up 20%, subprime auto delinquencies worse than COVID, Great Recession, and dot-com bust combined. White Castle flips fully autonomous in Ohio—farewell, drive-thru jobs; hello, robot flipping your sliders while you doom-scroll in sweatpants. Finale: OpenAI green-lights erotic ChatGPT for verified adults starting December (the internet was literally built on the promise of pixelated nipples—Sam Altman's just cashing the OG check). Age-gating? Cute. Show me a 10-ft wall, I'll show you an 11-ft ladder and a forged ID. They also launch ChatGPT Atlas, an AI browser with a sassy sidebar—because Chrome's 2:38 median tab time and 11.4 open tabs (recruiters: double that, easy) needed a drunk-texting career coach. Google infused Gemini; OpenAI counters by making browsing feel like your browser just joined a group chat.Buckle up—2026 will be wilder than a Meta glasses app that undresses your LinkedIn connections in AR.

Some Key Takeaways The AI industry is filled with hype and misinformation, with OpenAI's role in feeding the hype machine and their fixation on profit over purpose being particularly problematic. ·AI has the potential to elevate humanity but only if the people and organizations who adopt it focus on solving real-world problems rather than pure productivity and efficiency. The current state of information quality is declining due to AI, with misinformation and disinformation harming the entire information ecosystem – from media to the web to social networks. The nature of content is evolving rapidly due to AI technologies. Creators and companies need to adapt at the speed of change, while maintaining a clear focus on quality, value, engagement, and human connection.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron explores the significant changes in women's health, particularly during menopause, over the past few decades. She discusses the impact of lifestyle, food environment, movement, technology, and stress management on women's health outcomes. Ali emphasizes the need to return to basic health practices that were prevalent in the past, highlighting the importance of whole foods, regular movement, and effective stress management. The conversation serves as a call to action for listeners to reassess their health habits and make meaningful changes. Takeaways Women today experience different health realities than in the past. The food environment has drastically changed, impacting health. Processed foods are more prevalent and chemically laden now. Daily movement has decreased significantly over the years. Stress management is crucial for overall health. Technology has disrupted sleep patterns and quality. Returning to basics can improve health outcomes. Hormones have not changed, but our lifestyle has. Social connections and community support are vital for well-being. Small changes in daily habits can lead to significant health improvements.
