Stop Competing, Start Collaborating with Joe Saul-Sehy and Jordan Grumet | 116Joe Saul-Sehy from Stacking Benjamins and Dr. Jordan Grumet (Doc G) from Earn & Invest trashed my place…err I mean crashed at my place during Camp FI Midwest. Naturally, I put freakin' microphones in front of them!This one started as a conversation about our joint Benjamins After Dark meetup in the Twin Cities and turned into a full-on masterclass on why collaboration is a money skill. Not a soft skill. A money skill.Competitor or collaborator? Pick one. Joe tells the story of meeting a brand new finance podcaster at Podcast Movement who wouldn't even say what his show was about. Joe never heard from him again. Being guarded gets you nowhere.You grow no matter where you sit. Doc G breaks down the mentor, mentee, and peer roles. If someone knows more, they're your mentor. If they know less, you're theirs. Either way, both sides walk away with more than they started with. As they say in medicine: see one, do one, teach one!Set the goalposts before you start. Collaborations can go sideways because nobody defined what success looked like up front. Different intentions, different audiences, two years of silence. Doc G's take: if one person wants to educate for free and the other wants to charge per download, you need to know that on day one.Be useful. Joe pulls from Alex Hormozi and Zig Ziglar: become the person people call. In his financial planning days, clients called him for mortgage guys, estate attorneys, even mechanics. That's the whole game.Open your network or go home. Doc G says a collaborator who won't share their contacts isn't worth their salt. I've seen the opposite in my tech career, people hoarding contacts like dragons on gold. It never works.Your advisor should be a collaborator. If someone leads with a product instead of asking about your life, that's a sales pitch, not advice. Roger Whitney's line: anyone who leads with product and not process is not an advisor.Networking is dead. Doc G declares it, and Joe agrees it should be. Replace it with three steps:Show up somewhere with like-minded peopleListen more than you talkBe generous with what you know when the time is right.Friendships over FI numbers. Joe says becoming financially independent was fine. Realizing he had enough people in his corner that they'd never let him fail? That hit way harder.Collaboration leads to impact. Doc G's closer. We all say we want money and career success. Roll it up and what we really want is impact. Collaboration is how you get there.Bonus content: a Camp FI travel hacker who turned out to have a PhD in agriculture, Joe getting pizza oven lessons at his sister's birthday party, my uncle refusing to meet my banker at the horse track, and a man in Mankato who volunteers so much people call him Mr. Mankato.Contact Chris:https://heavymetal.moneyhttps://www.facebook.com/MoneyHeavyMetalhttps://x.com/MoneyHeavyMetalhttps://www.instagram.com/chrislugerhttps://www.tiktok.com/@heavymetalmoneyemail: chris at heavymetal.moneyResources and Links:Dr. Jordan Grumethttps://jordangrumet.comEarn & Invest Podcast https://jordangrumet.com/episodes Jordan's Substack https://substack.com/@jordangrumet Joe Saul-Sehy https://joesaulsehy.com Stacking Benjamins Podcast https://www.stackingbenjamins.comBenjamins After Dark Meetup Groupshttps://www.stackingbenjamins.com/groups/CampFIhttps://campfi.orgContact Chris:https://heavymetal.moneyhttps://www.instagram.com/heavy_metal_money/https://www.youtube.com/@heavymetalmoneyhttps://www.facebook.com/chrislugeremail: chris at heavymetal.money
Dearest Blubirds, It is such a joy to be back after nearly three years away. To bring you all into the journey of where I've been, Lily and I decided to film a miniseries and open the story of what has unfolded since I last sat in this chair, as well as talk about what it truly took to birth the Heavenly Bodies Tarot deck into the world. In this episode we speak into our friendship, the initiation of art, my journey with hearing loss and the integration of Blu and Charlotte. This conversation truly feels like a doorway into a new season of my life. One that I feel is less about having all of the answers, and more about sharing our lived, human experience: The beauty of what it takes to create an entire 78-card deck by hand, how we've learned to soften into life, and the magic we can create in the world when we learn to surrender to what is being asked of us. Thank you for being here. I'm excited for you to hear this first episode and for us to embark on this journey together. It truly means the world.

Senior leaders often arrive ambitious and passionate, then quietly slide into what Courtney Joly-Lowdermilk calls "role blur," where the all-hands-on-deck approach erases job boundaries, and burnout sets in. As CEO of REACH Leadership, Courtney helps educational and nonprofit leaders bring clarity back to their roles and organizations.In this episode, she walks Krista through the REACH method: Recognizing the ambiguity, Evening the power differentials, Acknowledging expertise, Collaborating, and Healing, and explains why she treats "values in action" as concrete, observable verbs rather than posters on a wall. They dig into the healing step (owning your part in a rupture and inviting, not forcing, repair), why the physical environment either echoes or contradicts a school's values, and why the real decision makers in student-facing work should include students themselves.A grounding conversation for any leader who senses something is choppier than it needs to be.Connect with Courtney via her website and LinkedIn.

I got the chance to chat with Alan and Erik. And lets just say it was a education. And I can tell you it was what I needed. We talked the new release Wolfe & Wilson a colonial style rye whiskey. And we talked the industry and life, it was great. Hope you enjoy.Stollandwolfe.comhttps://www.instagram.com/thealchemistcabinet?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsi=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3Patreon.com/offtopicwhiskeyDrawn directly from a colonial-era booklet, this unique expression by two craft distillers with a love for the past showcases a genuine attempt to recreate early American distilling practices using documented historical recipes, heritage grains, and period-appropriate techniques. It is a true representation of a 250th anniversary whiskey.Stoll & Wolfe, a storied craft distillery at the forefront of high-quality Pennsylvania rye whiskeys, is proud to announce Wolfe & Wilson Straight Rye Whiskey, a unique collaboration between two masters of the distilling arts, Stoll & Wolfe head distiller Erik Wolfe and southern Indiana farmer distiller Alan Bishop (formerly of Spirits of French Lick). This whiskey is based upon an old colonial-era recipe and serves as a true testament to the journey of this noble spirit through America's 250 years.Wolfe & Wilson Straight Rye Whiskey draws its inspiration from a pamphlet written by Frederick Heinrich Gelwicks, an important piece of early American distilling lore from the late 1700s to early 1800s, documenting actual working recipes used by Pennsylvania distillers during that era. A recipe from that publication resulted in a whiskey with a unique grain combination of rye malt, wheat, rye, and oats, fermented with wild yeast and cheese culture, and aged in new American oak barrels at 105 proof.“Collaborating on translating a nearly 300 century old recipe is a unique opportunity to explore the roots of our local distilling traditions by bringing this whiskey to life and allowing modern consumers to experience a spirit nearly lost to history,” said Erik Wolfe.Wolfe and Bishop, sharing a fundamental distilling philosophy and ethos that values flavor over efficiency and also honors traditional production methods balanced against modern concerns, began collaboration on this whiskey back in 2023. The challenge for them was how to adapt for today's distilling world a recipe of 1 bushel rye malt, 1 bushel wheat, 1 bushel rye, and 3 pecks of oats. Sourcing heritage grains from Pennsylvania family farms, including the Kline farm that's tied to Stoll & Wolfe, the two set out on an epic undertaking to recreate something few in the modern era would even consider. A testament to their combined creativity and fine attention to historical details, the expression is designed to give today's whiskey drinker a glance at what was being enjoyed at the birth of a nation.“Bringing the knowledge brought to Indiana by early PA Germans back East to PA is one of the highlights of my career,” said Alan Bishop. “That we stuck to the ideals of the colonial distillers while implementing modern technological advantages speaks to just how well versed in the art of distillation our forefathers were. To do such great work alongside Erik and Aviana is a rare opportunity!”Wolfe & Wilson Straight Rye Whiskey, Batch 1, was aged a minimum of two years in new charred American oak before being bottled at 100 proof. The product name Wolfe & Wilson carries layered personal and historical significance, as “Wolfe” represents Erik's surname (Wolfe), while “Wilson” is Alan's mother's maiden name.Available at a price point of $80, only 1000 750 ml bottles of Batch 1 will be available starting July 4th through Stoll & Wolfe's tasting room in Lititz, Pennsylvania, and online in the contiguous United States..

What separates a strong college application from a collection of good grades, activities, and accomplishments? College Ready student Seth Skaff joins Shellee Howard to share what he learned while navigating a highly competitive college admissions season. Seth is a high school senior involved in student government, Model United Nations, his school newspaper, Academic Decathlon, and varsity golf. Academically, he has taken an extensive schedule of AP exams and community college courses. But Seth's story demonstrates an important lesson for families: standing out isn't simply about doing more. It's about pursuing activities you genuinely care about and creating a cohesive story around who you are. Seth shares how he approached his applications strategically, including choosing majors based on his experiences and goals, researching individual universities, preparing for essays early, and considering the opportunities and career outcomes different colleges could provide. At the time of this conversation, Seth had already earned acceptances to multiple UC campuses, including UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Irvine's honors program, UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, UC Riverside, UC Merced, and UC Santa Cruz, with Regents Scholarships at UC Davis and UC Santa Barbara and a scholarship at UC Merced. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why students don't need to fill their schedules with activities just to impress colleges How genuine interests can develop into meaningful leadership Why a student's activities, intended major, and application story should make sense together How Seth approached major selection at different universities Why students should research the rules around changing majors before applying The value of seeing college essay prompts well before senior-year deadlines How early preparation made the application process easier What Seth learned from working with College Ready Why having an experienced advisor helped clarify confusing admissions questions How Seth evaluated colleges based on opportunities and career outcomes What he wishes he had started earlier How students can use AI for brainstorming and feedback while keeping their essays authentically their own One of Seth's biggest lessons for younger students is simple: you probably can't start too early. College planning isn't about knowing your entire future in middle school or freshman year. Starting early gives students time to explore their interests, develop meaningful experiences, understand themselves, and eventually tell a much stronger story when application season arrives.

Director Andrew Patterson's big screen journey has been unconventional to say the least. With his debut feature film, The Vast of Night, Patterson patiently watched as his film was shopped around the festival circuit, landed a spot at the 2019 Slamdance Film Festival, going on to win the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature. It was then acquired by Amazon Studios, where they were going to give it a proper release in 2020, but then the pandemic happened, and most audiences had to discover this bright new talent from the comfort of his own home. In this time, where we were all locked away in our homes, Patterson went back to an old script he was developing, one about an eccentric, beloved, blue grass-playing beekeeper and his estranged former foster daughter, their reconnection, and the passing of a touch between a business and the bloodlines you make along the way; The Rivals of Amziah King. In writing a draft that was close to 360 pages long, Patterson, a former editor before he turned writer-director, slowly stripped his epic down to the version that he wanted to put on the big screen; a sprawling tale that features people, a town, a culture, an environment he grew up around in a small town in rural Oklahoma. This baked in familiarity and personality resulted in his script impressing many, including the actor who plays the titular Amziah King, Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey, who is a revelation in the film, as well as his co-star Angelina LookingGlass, one of the best discoveries of the year. Together, this acting duo brought to life the unique, brilliant vision of Patterson's expansive second feature and in result, was a rousing success at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival, with buzz building from the moment it screened. After being acquired by Black Bear Pictures, the world finally gets to see an Andrew Patterson film on the big screen, which, per my review from SXSW, is still "one of the best films of the year so far," and announced the director as "a serious name to be reckoned with in the world of cinematic storytelling," as well as high praise for McConaughey, who delivers "one of the best performances of his career and his best work in over a decade." In a recent conversation, Patterson and I spoke about the process of getting the film to the big screen, the patience it took to trust the studio, and his work as an editor shapes new role as a writer-director. We also spoke about recreating the world of Oklahoma in Alabama (where the film was mostly shot), his collaborative process with his crew and two lead actors, as well as his thoughts on the state of independent cinema, and the stories he wants to tell going forward, no matter how big or small they might be. Insightful doesn't begin to describe Patterson, a growing voice in modern cinema that's open to unknown possibilities that lie ahead, willing to still look optimistically at this business after an atypical start to one's cinematic career; humming along to his next project much like bees in his latest film, waiting for his chance to deliver something special yet singular like his first two features. The Rivals of Amziah King is currently in theaters from Black Bear Pictures.

College planning usually focuses on admissions, scholarships, housing, and tuition. But there's another question families should be asking: What happens to the money we've invested if something unexpected prevents our student from finishing the semester? In this episode of Parents: Is Your Teen College Ready?, Shellee Howard sits down with John Fees, co-founder of GradGuard, to discuss some of the financial risks families may overlook when sending a student to college. John explains why he helped create GradGuard and how tuition insurance can provide protection when a student has to withdraw for a covered reason. He and Shellee also discuss the realities students can face once they're living independently—from illness and mental health challenges to stolen belongings, dorm damage, accidents, and other unexpected disruptions. In this episode, you'll learn: Why families should understand a college's tuition refund policy before the semester begins How an unexpected withdrawal can create a significant financial loss How tuition insurance may help when a student must leave school for a covered medical or mental health reason Why John believes mental and physical health should be treated with equal importance What parents should know about renters insurance for students living on campus Why FERPA and other important documents deserve attention when a student turns 18 How families can check for potential duplicate health insurance charges Why it may be worth contacting your auto insurer when your student leaves for college How travel insurance can factor into planning when a student attends college far from home Why financial preparedness is part of helping students successfully navigate college life Shellee and John also share an important reminder: preparing for unexpected situations isn't about creating more fear around sending a student to college. It's about understanding the risks, asking better questions, and knowing what protections are available before you need them. The takeaway: College is too significant an investment to understand the financial risks only after something goes wrong. Before your student starts the semester, learn the school's refund policies, review your family's existing insurance coverage, understand what you would be responsible for financially, and determine whether additional protection makes sense for your family.
If relationships built your real estate business, what are you doing today to make sure those relationships still remember you when their next move happens? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Tracy Frandsen. Tracy Frandsen is a Northeast Florida real estate professional with 20 years of experience navigating booming markets, the foreclosure crisis, changing technology, and the constant evolution of the real estate industry. Her career began in 2006 in Green Cove Springs and quickly put her in the middle of one of the most challenging periods in housing history, where she worked inside a Fannie Mae brokerage managing foreclosed properties, complicated transactions, distressed homeowners, renters, repairs, valuations, and investor offers.

She shares how working alongside her daughter in law Holly expanded the business, allowed them to combine complementary strengths, and strengthened their marketing and social media presence.

Think private investigation is all car chases or movie mysteries? Think again.I sit down with private investigator Scott Shepherd of Justified Investigations to pull back the curtain on what really happens behind the scenes in criminal defense cases. Forget the film noir clichés. Scott shares how his work differs from Hollywood's gumshoes and spotlights the vital, often overlooked, partnership between investigators and defense attorneys.Together, we discuss the realities of building a defense case. From sifting through mountains of discovery, to identifying overlooked witnesses, to navigating trial prep and strategy as a team. With stories from the trenches, highlighting both close calls and the methodical process behind major courtroom victories, this episode offers an unfiltered look at the investigative work that can make or break a case.Learn why the best defense is the one that leaves no stone unturned, and how collaboration, humility, and rigorous investigation give clients their best shot at justice.Moments00:00 Starting out in criminal defense06:24 Understanding confirmation bias in law06:51 Reflecting on trial lawyer ego10:45 Discussing Scott's investigative skills14:31 Old-school research paper methods18:27 Working with investigators21:26 Key witness memory issue25:13 Role during trial preparation27:31 Cross-examination with Mark Satawa32:22 Investigating witness statements34:52 Discussing client protection challenges36:23 Collaborating on client interviews41:43 Challenges of Interviewing Witnesses42:35 Approach to building trust5 Frequently Asked Questions About Private InvestigatorsWhat does a criminal defense investigator actually do? A criminal defense investigator reviews discovery, finds and interviews witnesses, analyzes police work, discovers new information, and supports attorneys in building the best defense.How is a private investigator's work different from police investigations? Police investigations aim to support prosecution and often miss alternative perspectives. Private investigators look for overlooked evidence, challenge police assumptions, and seek new witnesses to support the defense.Why is confirmation bias a risk for defense attorneys? Attorneys may assume they know every fact or interpret evidence through their own experiences. Investigators provide fresh, unbiased analysis to spot issues attorneys might miss.How do investigators handle reluctant or hostile witnesses? By approaching witnesses without being confrontational, using empathy, and explaining their neutral role, investigators can often secure valuable interviews—even when initial resistance is high.What makes a successful attorney-investigator partnership? Open collaboration, mutual respect, and a willingness to share information and discuss strategy allow investigators and attorneys to maximize their impact and prepare for every courtroom possibility.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

In this week's episode of the Filmmaker's Podcast, host Dom Lenoir takes the reins while Giles Alderson is away in Bulgaria. We are thrilled to welcome back director Josh Greenbaum for an esteemed "hat trick" third appearance on the show, along with actor and screenwriter Sean Clements. We dive into their new film, The Dink, a pickleball sports comedy that captures the nostalgic magic of late 90s and 2000s filmmaking. While the film brings the laughs, it also tackles universal and relatable themes like parental pressure, coaching aspirations, identity, ego, and pursuing second chances in your 40s. Josh and Sean share their filmmaking process, discussing how to successfully direct non-actors and improvisers, the art of trimming "precious" scenes for the greater good of the movie, and what it was like collaborating with producer Ben Stiller. What We Discuss in This Episode: The Return of Josh Greenbaum: Celebrating Josh's third appearance on the podcast and why he was drawn to The Dink as his next project. The World of Pickleball: Exploring the absurdity, accessibility, and real-life tennis community controversy surrounding the fastest-growing racket sport. Nostalgic Comedy & Themes: Harking back to classic 90s/2000s comedies like Happy Gilmore, Best in Show, Dodgeball, and The Wedding Singer, while exploring universal themes of identity, ego, and parental pressure. Screenwriting Origins: Sean Clements shares his personal journey as a former junior tennis player, his initial resistance to pickleball, and how finding an unlikely community of older players inspired the script. Collaborating with Ben Stiller: How Ben Stiller came on board to produce, his script notes, and how he helped bring former pro tennis player Andy Roddick into the cast. Directing Improvisers & Non-Actors: Josh's philosophy on creating a safe set where actors aren't afraid to fail, letting comedic talents like Aaron Chen ad-lib, and guiding dramatic actors like Ed Harris and non-actors like Andy Roddick to play their roles straight for maximum comedic effect.

In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary Lipovetsky sits down with Curtis Gardner, a full time automotive technician who went from roughly 15,000 followers to nearly half a million in just a few months and reached more than 100 million views along the way. Curtis shares how years of recording video inspections for customers helped him become comfortable behind the camera, why he started creating content to help other technicians, and how experimenting with one new format completely changed the trajectory of his personal brand. He also opens up about leaving a job he had held for nine years because they would not allow him to create content in the shop, dealing with criticism from coworkers and strangers online, and the sacrifices required to balance a full time career, marriage, fatherhood, and one of Instagram's fastest growing accounts. This conversation goes far beyond cars. Gary and Curtis unpack the psychology of virality, why storytelling can be more important than technical skill on social media, the pressure to repeat what works, and why creators must continue experimenting even after finding a successful format. They also discuss the importance of building a personal brand around a genuine mission, why every skilled professional has the opportunity to become their own media company, and how social media can help technicians, plumbers, dentists, lawyers, electricians, accountants, and other experts create opportunities far beyond their traditional careers.

Editor, director, and producer Whit Conway explains how the Hulu comedy Never Change! was assembled on an unusually compressed post-production schedule. He discusses cutting scenes while production was still underway, building an organized Adobe Premiere Pro workflow, using searchable transcripts to locate alternate performances, and collaborating with director and co-editor Marty Schousboe. Conway also shares how constant iteration shapes comedy, why editors cannot become precious about an early cut, and how aspiring comedy filmmakers can create the work they want to be hired to make. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Whit Conway discuss... How Whit's previous collaborations with director Marty Schousboe led to Never Change! Why the film's budget and delivery schedule required editing to begin during production Completing an initial assembly within a week of production wrapping Applying lessons from the fast-paced editorial workflows of Saturday Night Live and Joe Pera Talks With You Organizing footage into scene sequences and line-by-line collections of every performance How front-loading editorial organization saves time when producers request alternate takes Treating the first cut as a strong starting point rather than a version that must be protected Adjusting individual jokes by only a few frames and testing different reaction shots Preserving previous versions of scenes without formally tracking every editorial change Recognizing when a joke needs more work versus when the filmmakers have simply watched it too many times Using Premiere Pro's searchable speech-to-text transcripts to find improvised lines and specific takes Collaborating with directors who edit and directors who communicate their ideas conceptually Why strong directors know what they want while remaining open to better ideas from collaborators Managing creative disagreements, competing producer notes, and compressed deadlines How walks and time away from the edit room can help collaborators reset Why budget limitations ultimately determine when the filmmakers must put their pencils down Building a comedy-editing career by making long-form work, studying classic comedies, and creating projects with friends Treating unpaid personal projects as “extra credit” that can lead to new professional opportunities Memorable Quotes: “It is just my job to put the first version of the moment together as fast as I can and also be tickled by it.” “I think great directors do a couple of things. One, I think they know what they want. They know what the moment should be. Two, they are open and willing to see other versions of that moment.” “I think you don't have to have all the answers all the time.” “People understand you and know you through the work that you have done, that they have seen you do.” Guests: Whit Conway Resources: Watch Never Change! on Hulu Whit Conway's Website Adobe Premiere Speech to Text How These SNL Editors Cut an Emmy-Nominated Sketch With 60+ VFX Shots in 2 Days Cutting Comedy: Inside the Edit of Saturday Night Live's 50th Anniversary Field Producing on Last Week Tonight & Tackling Vimeo's EU/UK Problem Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

Many people know the term “bipolar disorder,” but few understand what mania actually looks like, how depression presents, or why recognizing the warning signs can be so difficult. In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with ADAA (Anxiety and Depression Association of America) Member expert Bruce M. Cohen, MD, PhD. Dr. Cohen is a psychiatrist, Harvard Medical School professor, and former president and psychiatrist-in-chief of McLean Hospital. Together, they break down the realities of bipolar disorder, including the differences between bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymia. Listeners will learn: how some risk-taking behaviors could be warning signs how distinguishing bipolar from personality traits requires careful evaluation how caregivers need support and self-care to be effective They also tackle an important question: When is someone simply energetic, dramatic, or outgoing — and when could those traits point to a mental health condition? Using real-world examples and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Cohen explains how mental health professionals distinguish personality from illness. If you've ever wondered what bipolar disorder really looks like — or how to help someone who may be struggling — this episode is for you. We would like to thank McLean Hospital for providing educational support for this episode. “I've been doing this for 50 years and I've focused on psychotic disorders and bipolar disorders. [. . .] Most of them lead good lives and they're successful.” ~Bruce M. Cohen, MD, PhD Our guest, Bruce M. Cohen, MD, PhD, is the Robertson-Steele Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and President/Psychiatrist-in-Chief Emeritus at McLean Hospital. Currently, as Director of the Program for Neuropsychiatric Research at McLean/Mass General Brigham, he leads a consortium using cell culture, genomic, pharmacologic, brain imaging, and clinical studies to increase understanding and develop new treatments for psychiatric disorders. This work is particularly focused on identifying inherent factors that might be modulated to reduce the risk of illness. Convergent evidence from these studies highlights key factors underlying risk for illness, prominently including abnormalities of energy production and brain cell growth and maturation. These abnormalities affect brain development, brain remodeling during adolescence, and brain repair with age. In addition, his work has documented evidence-based dimensional approaches for diagnosing psychiatric disorders that describe each person seeking treatment more accurately and thoroughly than standard diagnostic models. Collaborating investigators work at McLean, the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, and international sites. Following undergraduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and graduate (molecular genetic) and medical studies at Case Western Reserve University, Dr. Cohen completed his residency training at McLean. He was co-founder of a Clinical Research Center, founding Director of McLean's Brain Imaging Center, and director of McLean's Residency Training Program, and a Vice President at McLean, before becoming President and Psychiatrist-in-Chief of the hospital. Under his leadership, McLean, which was struggling financially, established over 30 new programs, became financially stable and grew to treat more patients, perform more research, and teach more trainees than at any time in its distinguished history. He has taught locally, at McLean, Harvard Medical School, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as lecturing nationally and worldwide to academic and lay audiences. He has directed continuously funded translational research projects and centers for 48 years. Dr. Cohen has over 400 publications and 5 awarded patents. He authored one popular book for lay audiences and has chapters in 19 textbooks. He has consulted to industry and clinical centers. He has been featured in national publications as one of the best doctors in America, been named Psychiatrist of the Year twice by the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Massachusetts, and has won awards for research, teaching, and clinical care. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

What happens to intimacy, nostalgia, and creative power when a world-class filmmaker decides to step away from the camera and help reimagine their masterpiece for the live stage? In this episode of TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, I sit down with award-winning filmmaker, writer, and director Ritesh Batra. Celebrated globally for his masterpiece debut feature film, The Lunchbox, Ritesh has spent the last decade crafting incredibly delicate, human-centered stories. Now, he has brought that same quiet magic to the theater stage, serving as the book writer and co-lyricist for the highly successful musical adaptation of The Lunchbox.Ritesh shares unique process of rewriting a beloved indie film for a live theatrical medium. He shares why he deliberately avoided rewatching his own movie to allow a fresh, organic confluence of creative energy to take over with his collaborators. He also shares his personal philosophy on "artistic fingerprints"—explaining why true success in any creative field requires leaving your own distinct, irreplaceable mark rather than chasing past commercial formulas or letting executive gatekeepers dictate the narrative. Ritesh shares insights on:• Nostalgia & Friction: Why he prefers focusing his storytelling on the compelling friction of characters "left behind" by rapid societal changes rather than those keeping up with them. • Stage vs. Screen Intimacy: How the live stage provides a unique canvas to showcase unspoken connection and stillness in ways the cinema camera cannot. • The Fingerprint Philosophy: Why elite artists must own their distinct perspective, and how to protect your creative power in a system obsessed with past commercial formulas. • Songs Hidden in the Seams: The organic process of discovering musical numbers hidden in the quiet, empty spaces between film scenes. • Overcoming the Fear of Collapse: Navigating the intense vulnerability of a production's first week and learning to trust your internal compass. Whether you're a filmmaker, a theater lover, a creative professional navigating a highly public career, or someone looking to practice deeper mindfulness and trust in your everyday life, Ritesh's thoughts on artistic conviction provides an invaluable blueprint.
