Social media platforms are designed to hijack our brain's reward system, keeping us hooked through endless dopamine hits. This constant stimulation fragments our attention, reshapes our behavior, and can lead to burnout, anxiety, and even addiction—especially in developing brains. The more we scroll, the more we crave quick hits of novelty, making it harder to tolerate boredom or engage in deeper, more meaningful tasks. And while adults may struggle, kids are even more vulnerable, facing emotional dysregulation and long-term brain changes. The good news? Awareness is the first step toward reclaiming agency and creating healthier boundaries in a world built for distraction.

Haidt is also a co-founder of Heterodox Academy, the Constructive Dialogue Institute, and Ethical Systems—organizations that promote viewpoint diversity, constructive disagreement, and ethical leadership. Since 2018, he has turned his attention to the mental health crisis among teens and the role of social media in political polarization. His latest book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness, was published in 2024.

Convenience and quality don't always go hand in hand, but Tip Top Cocktails is changing that perception, one perfectly crafted drink at a time. Founded in 2019, Tip Top is an Atlanta-based brand known for its spirit-forward, bar-quality offerings. Childhood friends Yoni Reisman and Neal Cohen launched the company with a simple mission: make great cocktails more accessible, no bartender required. Tip Top's lineup includes time-honored classics like the Old Fashioned, Negroni, and Margarita, as well as modern favorites such as the Paper Plane, Penicillin, and Naked & Famous. Each cocktail is precisely mixed and served in a sleek 100 mL lowball-style can. The products are available in over 25 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., and carried by national retailers such as Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Gelson's Markets, and Total Wine & More. Amid a rapidly expanding market for RTD cocktails, Tip Top has earned high praise from The New York Times, Food & Wine, and other publications. Perhaps surprisingly, the company hasn't taken any institutional funding to date. In this episode, Yoni and Neal share how an idea sparked on the music festival circuit evolved into a fast-growing brand with national reach. Their journey is a case study in bootstrapping, brand discipline, and building loyalty through an unwavering commitment to quality and customer experience. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Neal Cohen & Yoni Reisman, Co-Founders, Tip Top Cocktails – The co-founders discuss how Tip Top's origins stem from Yoni's time in the music festival scene, recruiting award-winning bartender Miles Macquarrie to help develop the cocktails and how they emphasized authentic, balanced flavors and supported that with retro-inspired branding and educational elements like listing ingredients. Neal and Yoni also talk about Tip Top's collaborations with renowned bartenders such as Sam Ross and Joaquín Simó and how it reinforced the brand's credibility and dedication to cocktail culture. They also explain how Tip Top has relied on grassroots marketing, standout packaging, and word-of-mouth to build its brand, with its 100 mL can seen as both stylish and practical and how the company has earned respect within the hospitality industry and among professional bartenders. They explain why they continue to personally taste each batch of cocktails and have scrapped full runs when standards weren't met and how “building a brand people would truly miss” if it left the market is their North Star.

What happens when you put a university president who's weathered pandemics, launched massive campaigns, and chairs the Bruce Springsteen Archives in a room with great questions? Pure gold. In this episode, I sit down with Patrick Leahy, President of Monmouth University, for one of those conversations that reminds you why leadership stories matter.Patrick takes us through his incredible journey from being the youngest of six kids outside Baltimore to running a $200 million university. We dive into the mentor who changed everything by pushing him to apply to Georgetown (spoiler: he thought he'd never get in), the poetry class with the university president that shifted his entire career path, and those messy years when he tried business and finance before finding his true calling in higher education.But here's where it gets really interesting. Patrick shares what it was actually like stepping into the president's role just months before the pandemic hit, how he kept an entire campus community connected through weekly Zoom calls that people still don't want him to stop and the bold moves he's made to position Monmouth for the future. We're talking about partnerships with Hackensack Meridian for healthcare programs, building out film and TV production right as Netflix constructs their massive studio two miles away, and chairing the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music.The conversation gets into the real stuff too. How AI is going to reshape education, why being someone others want to work with might be the most critical skill you can develop, and what it means to lead through uncertainty while staying true to your values. Patrick's energy is infectious when he discusses servant leadership, the importance of asking better questions, and how every twist in your career path ultimately serves you later.Patrick's story reminds us that the most successful leaders aren't those who follow predetermined paths, but those who remain open to possibility and aren't afraid to bet on themselves and others. It's a conversation that will leave you thinking differently about what's possible when you combine authentic leadership with strategic vision and the courage to act on both.00:00 – Welcome & Introduction 01:00 – Childhood & Early Leadership 05:45 – The Georgetown Pivot 10:30 – From Business to English Lit 14:00 – The Nonlinear Journey to Education 20:45 – First Presidency at Wilkes 26:30 – Leading Through a Pandemic 32:00 – Vision for Monmouth 37:00 – Netflix, Sports & Strategic Growth 41:30 – The Role of AI in Higher Ed 48:30 – Emotional Intelligence & Employability 50:00 – The Springsteen Archives 55:00 – Closing ReflectionsPatrick on Socials: IG: monmouthuniversity X: @PatrickFLeahy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-patrick-f-leahy-ab873620 Youtube: @monmouthuniversity⁩Jon on Socials: IG: @thejonschultzpodcast X: @JonSchultzPod LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-jon-schultz-podcast www.jonschultz.com

Growing up addicted to chocolate milk, Jo eventually realized that her favorite treat wasn't as healthy as she'd imagined. “It was a sad day when I started to read labels and realized, oof, I just cannot be drinking this anymore,” she shared in today's episode.As Jo searched for a healthier alternative, she found herself frustrated by disappointing options. Either the products didn't taste good, or they were full of fillers and oils. When the pandemic hit and life slowed down, Jo seized the opportunity to experiment. Using her Vitamix and pantry staples like cashews, cocoa powder, and agave syrup, she crafted a homemade chocolate milk that surprised her with its deliciousness. “I hit blend, poured it in a cup, tried it and was like, wait, what? This is actually really good,” Jo said.That spark of inspiration soon became Nutcase, a company producing healthier chocolate milk with cashews as the creamy, nutrient-rich base. But Jo wasn't content with just making something for herself or her local community. “I'm a big dreamer,” she said. “As soon as I realized there was a product here, I started thinking about how to scale it globally.”Jo tested the waters by bottling her creation and selling it in her restaurant, where it quickly flew off the shelves. That validation pushed her to solve the next challenge: extending the product's shelf life for large-scale distribution. Through persistence and a network of connections, Jo found experts who helped her refine the formulation and production process.Now, Nutcase is on the verge of becoming a global brand, and Jo is inviting others to join her journey. With a regulated crowdfunding campaign currently open, anyone can invest in Nutcase and own a piece of the company. “Having everyday people, super fans, and supporters have skin in the game was a no-brainer for me,” Jo said.Her passion for creating a healthier, better-tasting chocolate milk is undeniable, but her vision for building an inclusive, community-backed brand is just as inspiring. Don't miss your chance to be part of this delicious revolution.tl;dr:Jo Weinand founded Nutcase to create healthier, cashew-based chocolate milk that tastes amazing.A pandemic experiment with cashews, cocoa, and agave led to a surprisingly successful formula.Jo scaled Nutcase from a local product to a global brand with strategic networking and persistence.Celebrities and influencers, including Steve Aoki and Ninja, joined Nutcase as partners and advocates.Through equity crowdfunding, Jo invites supporters to invest in Nutcase and join the mission.How to Develop Uniting People As a SuperpowerJo's ability to unite people around a common mission is her defining strength. She explained, “As a founder, the best thing ever is building a team...of big celebrities and influencers, but also giving opportunities to people who are such hard workers and hustlers.” Jo's talent for inspiring enthusiasm and aligning others with her vision has been instrumental in turning Nutcase into more than just a business—it's a movement.When Jo launched Nutcase's strawberry flavor, she saw an opportunity to approach Steve Aoki, who initially wasn't a fan of chocolate milk. Upon trying the strawberry variety, he became so excited about the product and its brain-health benefits, he not only joined as a partner but also introduced Nutcase to his foundation to support brain health initiatives. Jo's ability to bring people together with shared values has helped Nutcase grow in unexpected, meaningful ways.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Share your passion authentically to inspire others.Don't be afraid to ask for help or make connections.Build a team with people who are aligned with your mission.Lean into your uniqueness—be bold and embrace being different.Final Paragraph:By following Jo's example and advice, you can make uniting people a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJo Weinand (she/her):Founder, Nutcase MilkAbout Nutcase Milk: Nutcase combines the nostalgic appeal of Nesquik with a premium, better-for-you nut milk, in sleek adult packaging.

If you've ever opened a memory bin and instantly felt overwhelmed, sentimental, or just plain stuck — this episode is for you. Whether you're drowning in childhood keepsakes, struggling with guilt over what to let go of, or wondering why your clutter feels so emotional, you are not alone. In this episode, I open up about how our childhood experiences — from chaotic homes to hyper-clean parents — shape the way we hold onto stuff as adults. We dig into the emotional weight of sentimental clutter, the psychology behind why it's so hard to let go, and how to finally break the cycle with grace and self-awareness. This isn't just a chat about organizing — it's a journey into the roots of our clutter, the beliefs we inherited from our parents, and the systems we need to build a home (and life) that works for us now. Plus, I share powerful mindset shifts, simple systems for organizing memories, and a few hilarious listener stories that will make you laugh and cringe. ✨ We chat about: Why childhood experiences shape our relationship with clutter The 3 emotional “types” of memory keepers — and which one you might be How to finally declutter sentimental items without guilt The surprising link between scarcity mindset and clutter Simple memory systems that actually work (and won't leave you overwhelmed) Why loving your home starts with healing your past

In this emotionally layered bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B leads a courageous conversation around the realities of sexual exploration, trauma, and the path to healing. With vulnerability at the forefront, the discussion leans into the complicated truths of consent, abortion, and sexual assault, centering personal stories as both testimony and release. [00:00] The episode opens with a raw unpacking of the emotional and physical consequences that can come with early sexual exploration, including how societal pressures and lack of proper education shape formative experiences. [19:52] The conversation shifts toward the topic of abortion, with the hosts reflecting on how personal choice is often weighed down by shame, judgment, and unspoken grief. [32:28] Childhood memories and family dynamics are revisited, illuminating how early emotional environments influence later relationships, self-worth, and personal boundaries. [35:48] The topic of abortion returns through the lens of cultural and societal expectations, calling out the stigmas that persist and the silence they impose. [37:52] The discussion deepens with an unflinching look at the impact of sexual assault and the long shadow it can cast, exploring how trauma affects intimacy, trust, and identity. [48:45] As the episode closes, the conversation comes full circle—examining how childhood wounds, both seen and unseen, often reemerge in adult relationships, and how acknowledging those wounds is the first step toward healing. At its core, this episode is a powerful reminder that healing is nonlinear, often messy, but always possible. Through open dialogue, self-reflection, and empathy, Selective Ignorance offers a safe space for reclaiming power, rewriting narratives, and finding strength in the process. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumpsFollow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
