Your microbiome starts shaping health from the very beginning of life. In this episode, Dr. Jen speaks with Tiny Health founder Cheryl Sew Hoy about how birth mode, breastfeeding, antibiotics, diet, and parental gut health can influence an infant's developing microbiome and potentially affect immune function later in life. Cheryl explains why babies need a very different microbial balance than adults, the importance of bifidobacteria during infancy, and how low levels of beneficial bacteria may allow less desirable microbes to take over. They also explore adult gut diversity, butyrate production, Akkermansia, fiber intake, carnivore and vegan diets, and why the goal is not always to “kill the bad bugs.” The conversation then shifts to vaginal health, where Cheryl explains the importance of Lactobacillus crispatus, how hormones can change the vaginal microbiome, and why testing may help women better understand changes during postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause. Cheryl Sew Hoy is a tech entrepreneur, angel investor, and founder and CEO of Tiny Health, a precision health platform offering at-home shotgun metagenomic testing for infant, maternal, and adult microbiomes. A Cornell-trained engineer and serial entrepreneur, Cheryl founded Tiny Health after searching for better answers about her own daughter's early health risks following a C-section birth. Her work now focuses on helping families understand how early microbial exposures, breastfeeding, diet, gut health, and vaginal health may influence immune development and long-term wellness. Through Tiny Health, she brings advanced microbiome testing and personalized recommendations into the home, helping parents and adults better understand the microbial ecosystems that support health across the lifespan.

Pablo Arredondo, the Casetext cofounder who helped build some of the earliest and most influential applications of AI in legal practice, is joining Clio as senior vice president, judiciary, where he will lead the company's strategy for extending its technology into the courts. In this episode, recorded just ahead of the announcement, Arredondo tells host Bob Ambrogi why he is turning his attention to the judiciary — and why he believes the challenge starts with the sheer torrent of material flooding into the courts. "On Monday, somewhere on the order of three billion tokens are going to hit court dockets," he says. Arredondo cofounded Casetext in 2013 and helped develop CARA, the first brief analyzer, and CoCounsel, the product that brought generative AI into everyday legal workflows. After Thomson Reuters acquired Casetext for $650 million in 2023, he joined that company, leaving at the end of last year. In this conversation, he traces how his interest shifted toward the courts — from watching judges organically adopt Casetext's Parallel Search to a recent project at Cornell's Legal Information Institute using LLMs to annotate the U.S. Code of Conduct for Judges with centuries of judicial ethics thinking from rabbinic, Islamic and Roman Catholic traditions. Arredondo also explains why courts need "judiciary grade" technology rather than tools built for lawyers, how AI is driving a surge in pro se filings, whether AI could ever replace judges (his short answer: "absolutely not"), and where he plans to start when he officially begins the role Aug. 31. This is Arredondo's second appearance on LawNext this year, following a February conversation at his home in Tiburon, Calif., about his career and what would come next. Now we know.

Title: Food: The Ultimate Messenger In this episode, we're looking at a warming world through a lens you may not expect: your dinner plate. Our guest is Mike Hoffmann, who has spent his career helping people understand the impacts of carbon pollution through the foods we all love and need. Mike has written on the subject for outlets including The Hill, Fortune, Medium, and USA Today, and is the lead author of Our Changing Menu: Climate Change and the Foods We Love and Need, published by Cornell Press in 2021. He's also delivered a TEDx Talk, "Climate Change: It's Time to Raise Our Voices," and has given more than 150 related talks over the course of his career. Mike grew up on a one-cow dairy farm, served in the Marines during the Vietnam War, and went on to hold multiple leadership roles at Cornell's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, where he now holds the title of Professor Emeritus. As he puts it, he intends to keep telling this story for as long as he can. The conversation opens with a snapshot of where things stand this fall with extreme weather, from wildfires and rising heat to the incoming El Niño, setting the stage for the deeper conversation about food. From there, Mike explains why he chose food as his entry point into this story rather than energy, sea level rise, or extreme weather, and what makes it such a powerful and relatable way to reach people. He and host Shannon Maganiezin dig into how food itself is changing due to excess greenhouse gases (GHGs), including troubling shifts in nutritional quality, the vitamins, proteins, and essential minerals that our diets depend on. Mike also shares a story about pizza, one he's found to be a surprisingly effective way to illustrate the far-reaching effects of a warming climate on the foods we love, drawn from the many presentations he's given on the topic. The discussion turns to his teaching at Cornell, where he leads a course called Using the Power of Food to Confront Climate Change, and what he's learned from working with the next generation on these issues. The episode closes on a call to action: Mike's belief that food is the ultimate messenger for telling this story, and the potential for real change if more people start talking about and sharing it, including producers, food media, consumer groups, and chefs. Tune in for a conversation that reframes carbon and other GHG pollution as something we all encounter three times a day and hear why one of the field's most experienced voices believes food may be our best tool yet for getting people to listen.

He joins us to talk about Pogopalooza, going viral on campus, why getting good at pogo sticking means getting comfortable with failure, and his plans to help reinvent the modern pogo stick.We also talk about his path to Cornell as a transfer student, his passion for nutrition and the gut microbiome, his research experience in China, and why the friends he's made at Cornell mean the most to him.
The produce aisle is changing. You've noticed this, I'm sure. It is now full of superstar fruits and vegetables: The Honeycrisp apple, The Cotton Candy grape, The Cuties mandarin orange. They stand out. They cost more. They have branding and sometimes trademarks and patent-ish kinds of protections.And now – it's happening in the tomato bin too! Where once there were just plain old cherry or grape tomatoes, now there are Sugar Bombs, and Flavor Bombs, and Lolli Bombs and Sprinkles.Today, we are partnering up with Dan Pashman – host of The Sporkful food podcast – and heading to New Jersey where we hope to taste an up-and-coming competitor: Rutgers University's Scarlet Sunrise grape tomato. We talk to the inventors to understand why this explosion in branded fruits and veggies has happened and how you go about making a new piece of produce.Plus, we talk to Cornell agricultural economist Miguel Gomez about whether or not the fruits and veggies spread in our produce aisle are, perhaps, reaching the point of market saturation.Read: Our book: Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your Life Our weekly longform Planet Money newsletterOur weekly Indicator round-up newsletterFollow: InstagramTikTokYouTubeFacebookSupport public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

Aimee is joined by Queen of the Catskills, Julie McGuire to deconstruct the course for the Catskill 100. The Running Kind is proud to present one of the first carbon neutral 100 milers in the country - the Catskill 100. This course will showcase the beauty and difficulty that the Northeast offers as runners traverse over extremely challenging terrain in the Catskill Mountains. Running through four distinct NYS Wilderness Areas, this course was designed to leave runners more connected to the trails they are running on. Over the distance, runners will summit 12 of the 33 Catskill High Peaks including Indian Head, Twin, Sugarloaf, Plateau, Hunter, West Kill, Wittenberg, Cornell, Slide, Big Indian, Eagle and Balsam. The route also includes the entirety of the most challenging trail in the Catskills, The Devil's Path. This event will be one of the few 100 milers across the country with over 25,000ft of elevation gain and descent on extremely technical terrain and is sure to leave a stamp as one of the hardest 100 milers in the country. We have been dreaming up something masochistic since the first year at Climb It For Climate. The time has finally come to bring it to life. We are excited to share this route with runners from all over the country. The event will be led by a female leadership team and the race director is reserving 50% of spots for women and non-binary runners.
Editorial cartoonists Ted Rall (from the Left) and Scott Stantis (from the Right) are joined by legal expert Ricardo Aparicio to ask the question: What the heck is going on at the US Supreme Court?The nation's highest court, once presumed to be nonpartisan, has become brazenly political. In Trump v. United States (July 1, 2024), the Court created absolute immunity for “core” constitutional powers by former presidents (pardons, vetoes, commanding the military, directing the Justice Department), and presumptive immunity for other official acts inside the “outer perimeter” of the job. Prosecutors can try to rebut that presumption, but they cannot use official-act evidence or the president's motives to prove a crime. In 2026 the Court let the president fire independent-agency heads at will, wiping out a 1935 limit that Congress wrote into statutes. Dissenters said that hands the president a power “unknown even to the English Crown” and collapses the separation of powers.On the emergency docket it has also paused lower-court findings on mail-in voting and immigration raids, which critics say treats facts as optional.Might SCOTUS enable the cancellation or nullification of the midterm elections?Ricardo Aparicio, PhD, directs the Employee Engagement & Experience Council at The Conference Board. A former General Mills organization-effectiveness leader, he ran global engagement surveys covering more than 175,000 employees and helped the company post record scores. Earlier he marketed national brands at General Mills and Colgate-Palmolive. Born in Caracas, he lives in Minnesota and holds degrees from Cornell, Stanford, and the University of Minnesota.

"You can't always control what's happening to you, but you can control how you react to it. That was the biggest lesson I learned." — Ken Kunken On Halloween 1970, twenty-year-old Cornell engineering student Ken Kunken tackled a ball carrier during a football kickoff and broke his neck. The rehabilitation pamphlet his family was handed listed one possible future for someone with his injury: selling magazine subscriptions by telephone. Ken couldn't dial a rotary phone. What happened next took five decades, three Ivy League degrees, a passed bar exam, a courtroom with doors too narrow for his wheelchair, and more than 200 mailed-out resumes before a single employer said yes. Ken Kunken became the world's first quadriplegic lawyer — and eventually a Deputy Bureau Chief supervising 25 assistant district attorneys — not because adversity left him alone, but because he learned something essential: you can't control what happens to you, only how you respond. His story is a reminder that the people who help us matter as much as the determination we bring ourselves — and that one person willing to give you a chance can change everything. Ken's book, I Dream of Things That Never Were: The Ken Kunken Story, is available in hardcover, ebook, and as an audiobook narrated by Ken himself.

What happens when you reach a certain level of success and realize the financial strategies you've been using may no longer fit where you are today?In this episode of Capability Amplifier, I sit down with Dana Cornell, founder of Cornell Capital Holdings, for a fascinating conversation about how successful business owners can think differently about taxes, investing, income, risk, and protecting what they've built.Dana has seen both sides of the financial world.He managed more than $1.4 billion at Morgan Stanley, served hundreds of clients, and eventually gained access to the advanced planning strategies being used with families at a very different level of wealth.What he saw changed the direction of his career.Dana realized there was an enormous difference between traditional wealth management and the coordinated approach available to ultra-wealthy families. Eventually, that gap became big enough that he decided to leave and build something different.Dana and I dug into what he learned behind the scenes, the mistakes successful founders often make with their own money, and why your financial strategy needs to evolve as your business and wealth become more complex.In this episode, Dana and I break down:Why Dana walked away from a $1.4 billion practice at Morgan Stanley?The 1% advisory fee that may actually be costing you closer to 20%Why do the ultra-wealthy keep most of their liquid capital out of stocks and bonds?What founders should understand about private and pre-IPO investing?Why the tax planning on a business or real estate sale has to happen before you sell?The risk most wealthy families overlook, and it isn't the marketEveryone has a CPA, an attorney, and an advisor. Almost nobody has a quarterbackOne of my biggest takeaways from this conversation is that financial complexity requires coordination.You can have a great CPA, a great attorney, and a great financial advisor. But if nobody is looking at the entire picture and taking responsibility for how all those pieces work together, opportunities can easily get missed.For successful founders and business owners, this is an important conversation about making sure the wealth you've worked so hard to create is being managed with the same level of intention you bring to your businessTake Dana's free financial diagnostic quiz (10 questions or less — get your wealth score and freedom score): https://cchquiz.comWant Dana's tax calculator?

Anika sat down with George Khachatryan to explore the evolving landscape of AI-driven marketing, personalization, and the massive trust gap currently sitting between brands and consumers. The conversation revealed a counterintuitive truth: while 93% of marketing leaders believe AI helps them understand their customers, only 53% of consumers agree. George's unique journey—from earning a PhD in mathematics at Cornell and building an early ed-tech AI company to founding OfferFit and navigating its $325M acquisition by Braze—offered a practical look at how reinforcement learning and predictive data science are permanently replacing the manual grind of traditional A/B testing. In This Episode How a background in mathematics and early intelligent tutoring systems laid the groundwork for complex AI architectures. Stepping away from specialized tech to learn foundational company building through management consulting and operational transformations. Moving beyond rigid "Next Best Action" rules to autonomous reinforcement learning agents that experiment at the individual customer level. The strategic decision behind merging OfferFit with Braze in a $325M deal and why deep data science and engineering alignment matters. Why hidden bots, lack of transparency, and mismatched brand expectations are eroding consumer confidence. Blending predictive machine learning models (for timing and offers) with LLM agentic copy generation for maximum impact. Why students and early-career marketers must embrace AI literacy to stay competitive in a rapidly shifting job market. Timestamps 00:00 Introduction: The math, the $325M exit, and the AI trust gap 02:00 From Cornell mathematics and early ed-tech to management consulting 04:18 The limitations of traditional "Next Best Action" and the birth of reinforcement learning 09:22 Real-world personalization: How brands like Yum Brands optimize customer engagement 12:39 The acquisition journey: Why OfferFit chose to integrate with Braze 16:53 The 93% vs. 53% problem: Why consumers feel misunderstood by brands 20:41 Hybrid AI systems: Stitching together LLM copywriting and statistical decisioning 23:33 The personal cost of a "Sydney is just a bot" moment: The importance of transparency 28:32 The reality of enterprise caution vs. consumer expectations 29:56 Agentic commerce and the future of bot-to-bot interactions 34:39 Managing negotiation bots and complex consumer retention scenarios 37:25 Generational divides: Gen Z's dual relationship with AI adoption and career anxiety 40:59 Lessons for founders: Aligning philosophical visions before a merger 43:35 Final thoughts: Embracing the historic and fascinating shift in marketing technology Key Insights & Takeaways Insight 1: Personalization Requires True One-to-One Experimentation Traditional marketing relies on segmenting audiences and applying rigid, rule-based logic. True optimization requires reinforcement learning agents that operate at the individual customer level, autonomously testing variables like messaging, timing, and offers to discover what drives incremental engagement. Insight 2: The Danger of Hidden Bots and Broken Trust Consumers do not mind interacting with AI or automated tools, but they expect transparency. When a brand masks an AI agent as a human—and fails to take responsibility for its actions—it creates a deep sense of betrayal that permanently damages customer loyalty. Insight 3: The Power of Hybrid AI Infrastructure The most effective marketing systems do not rely on a single flavor of AI. Combining statistical reinforcement learning (to determine when and what to communicate) with LLM agentic text generation (to personalize how it is phrased) yields performance lifts of over 100%. Insight 4: Shared Vision is the Anchor of Any Successful Acquisition For founders navigating a potential exit, technical integration is only half the battle. Long-term success relies on frank, open discussions about philosophical alignment, shared visions, and mutual risk mitigation before signing a deal. Insight 5: Enterprise Caution vs. Consumer Speed While marketers are often bogged down by internal alignment and slow decision-making processes, consumers are interacting with cutting-edge AI tools daily. Brands that fail to bridge this expectation gap risk becoming obsolete.

Why do we need a nuclear family? What actually determines the difference between a boy and a girl? These feel like brand-new questions, but the ideas that make them askable were actually seeded four hundred years ago. Dr. Jordan Cooper joins us to trace them back to their source.ABOUT THE EPISODE: Lutheran theologian and pastor Dr. Cooper walks Josh through the philosophical roots of the modern progressive mind and the broader philosophy of the left: Descartes and Cartesian doubt, Kant's Copernican Revolution, Hume's empiricism and skepticism, Hobbes's social contract theory, and Thomas Paine's radical individualism, the intellectual scaffolding beneath everything from critical theory to postmodernism. It's the same scaffolding underneath the questions above. Once Hume argues that even something as basic as cause and effect is just an assumption rather than a certainty, and Kant argues that categories like space and time are imposed by the mind rather than discovered in the world, the door opens to treating categories like family and gender the same way: not given, but constructed, and open to being remade.Dr. Cooper's book Makers of the Modern Mind grew out of years doing campus ministry at Cornell, watching students absorb progressive assumptions and secular philosophy they'd never actually examined. Drawing on his background in Lutheran theology and Christian apologetics, this conversation is a guided tour through where those assumptions came from, and why the question underneath almost all of them, in philosophy, politics, and the modern culture wars alike, is simply: what is a human being?0:00 – Introduction1:14 – Dr. Jordan Cooper2:45 – Lutheran Branding Problem4:21 – Makers of the Modern Mind10:23 – Union With Christ Doctrine16:30 – Descartes' Cogito Ergo Sum26:38 – Kant's Copernican Revolution31:33 – David Hume's Skepticism42:35 – Thomas Paine & Liberalism51:21 – Right Vs Left Liberalism56:52 – Applying Philosophy TodayABOUT THE GUEST:

Since being introduced to Jon Gordon '93 just a few weeks ago, Michelle has read seven of his books—and genuinely feels changed by them. Then we talked with Jon, and Steph felt it too. There is something about the way Jon thinks, teaches and tells a story that stays with you.Jon is the bestselling author of more than 30 books, including The Energy Bus, The Carpenter, The Hard Hat and The Power of Positive Habits. He is also one of the world's most sought-after speakers and works with CEOs, business leaders, coaches and some of the most successful teams in college and professional sports.We talk about his Cornell lacrosse years, the extraordinary story of George Boiardi '04, and Jon gets remarkably candid about his own struggles with negativity, fear, failure, forgiveness and marriage. He shares why we should talk to ourselves instead of listening to ourselves, what it means to “forgive fast,” and how small changes in the way we think can change our lives.And beyond all the wisdom, we just really like Jon. He is warm, funny, generous and completely genuine—and we left this conversation understanding why so many people respond so deeply to him.A huge thank you our Vino (episode 242) for introducing us. We're very grateful you did. This one is special.Find Jon Gordon here: https://jongordon.comHis podcast: The Jon Gordon PodcastNot sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University
UNHUSTLED starts next week. August 25, 26, and 27 at 11:00 am Central. I'm breaking down my entire mechanism, showing you all five patterns, and giving you the diagnostic so you can see exactly which one is running you and what to do about it. This is free right now. It becomes a paid masterclass going forward. Register here: https://go.shaminataylor.com/unhustled If your success has created more money but less freedom, is it actually working? I could have called this episode "why your work ethic is costing you your wealth," because that's what this really is. This one is for the hustler. The doer. The woman crushing her goals, checking off the list, winning constantly, and multitasking while she listens to this right now. I used to be her. Getting it all done was what ambition looked like to me. So let me be clear before we go further: I am never going to tell you to be less ambitious. We're not retiring your ambition. We're retiring the survival state you think you need in order to have the success. Because survival is not a business strategy. You didn't build your business to become an employee of it. If the only way it makes money is if you personally do the work, that's not a business, that's a job that owns you. And here's the part nobody says out loud: when you're already maxed out, you start subconsciously pushing money away. You can't imagine taking on more clients, because who would serve them? So you chase another strategy, another lead gen play, another sales tweak, and none of it moves, because the cap isn't in the strategy. It's in you. Four signs you're running on hustle: Your revenue grows, but your responsibility grows faster You hired a team, but everything still lands back on you Taking time off creates anxiety instead of freedom You've made more money, but slowing down still doesn't feel safe Then I break down The Power Pattern™, my trademarked process. Your pattern is the lens you see the world through, and it shapes every decision you make. The Controller takes the work back instead of delegating. The Prover works harder to earn the next level. The Pusher adds another offer, another hour, and never stops. The Pleaser overdelivers and undercharges. And the Protector delays the very move that would make her more visible, more known, more powerful. I also go deeper on my client Heather. Thirteen years running her cleaning company, a Cornell graduate, and still cleaning houses herself six years ago. Her months since she started the work: $146,000. Then $167,000. Then $191,000. July closed at $213,000. She restructured her leadership, released team members she'd been carrying, and took eleven days off without worrying about her business, something she says she has never done in her life. UNHUSTLED isn't becoming passive. It isn't lowering your standards, losing your ambition, ignoring strategy, or sitting in a bubble bath waiting for money. It's refusing to use pressure, control, proving, over-functioning, and nervous system overload as your growth strategy.

Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent host another fast-paced episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, covering cargo theft surges, roadside enforcement sweeps, and the real math behind heavy-duty fleet decarbonization. In the top stories for today, police in Leeds arrest six individuals tied to organized cargo theft, recovering stolen goods, drugs, and weapons amid estimates that cargo crime costs the UK $88 million annually, analyzing multi-state and Canadian provincial safety sweeps targeting impaired driving, log falsification, and brake defects, while highlighting data showing 25% of U.S. commercial trucks carry immediate out-of-service violations, authorities in North Carolina arrest a suspect in possession of a stolen truck, an illegal gun, and $258,000 worth of stolen copper wire, evaluating recent WARN layoff notices—driven largely by Tyson Foods plant closures—against broader job creation figures across the logistics sector. Scott Cornell from SPG Cargo explains why official cargo theft figures only scratch the surface. While CargoNet documented $732 million in cargo losses last year, voluntary reporting and inconsistent police crime codes mean actual economic impact is roughly ten times higher. Cornell previews TAPA's upcoming university study to measure true supply chain losses, discusses the federal CORT Act, and warns of a rising "bump and run" tactic targeting high-value data center shipments valued at over $110 million since June. Former Cummins Westport President Jim Arthurs breaks down alternative fuel economics for heavy-duty trucking. With megawatt electric truck charging scaling to $0.40–$0.50 per kWh (equivalent to $7/gallon diesel) and hydrogen hovering over $20/kg, natural gas remains the most cost-effective alternative fuel. Arthurs details Westport's direct-injection technology achieving diesel-equivalent fuel efficiency (8.5 mpg) at 500 horsepower, the strength of North America's CNG pipeline system, and how Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) from dairy manure delivers net-negative carbon intensity.

Peter Wang is co-founder and Chief AI and Innovation Officer at Anaconda, a company he helped start in 2012 after years of working as a software developer and consultant. In this episode, Peter draws on Anaconda's early days and the entrepreneurship lessons he shares with scientists and engineers at Cornell to explain what technical people need to learn when they launch a company. We talk about learning to ask better questions instead of rushing to provide answers, recognizing the limits of what you know, and treating yourself as an investor when deciding whether an idea is worth pursuing. Peter also explains his approach to customer discovery, why employees are investors too, and how aspiring founders can practice entrepreneurship by building something — however small — that someone will actually pay for.

This week, my husband Rabbi Yonasan Reiser and I talked about something I get asked about fairly often: how to choose a somatic training program. My answer might surprise you. We're taking a model of learning that's designed for cognitive content and applying it to body-based work. The model is information-heavy and lecture-based, and I think that's a problem for what we have here. If you're learning a somatic modality, at least 70% of your time in training should be experiential. Learning this modality doesn't work by watching or listening to lectures. To be effective, we need to actually practice it in all three roles: as a practitioner, as a client, and as an observer. The reason is simple: if you don't have the lived experience of what you're guiding your client through, you can't guide them. In this week's episode, I also talk about why the nervous system needs a little context before jumping into practice, and why ongoing practice after training is what separates the practitioners who can actually use this work effectively from those who can't. And then I tell a story I don't share often. When I was looking for a focusing practitioner for myself, I worked with several people who claimed to do focusing, and I was appalled. What they were doing caused re-traumatization. They were good people trying their best, but they didn't have the depth of lived experience that this work requires. This kind of training needs to be lived. Join the conversation and let me know what you think. If this episode resonated with you, I recommend The Power of Focusing by Ann Weiser Cornell. Cornell studied directly with Eugene Gendlin, the originator of Focusing, and this is probably the most practical guide to Focusing that exists. It's not theoretical; instead, it walks you through how to actually do it. This maps directly onto everything we talked about today: the difference between understanding something conceptually and having the lived experience of it. This book won't give you the lived experience that only comes from doing the work with another person, of course, but it's the closest thing to a hands-on guide you'll find in print.

If you're a college student getting ready for recruiting season—or the parent of one—this episode could not come at a better time.Deborah Klein Glasser knows the job search from both sides. After Cornell, she built a career in marketing and consulting at companies including Pepsi, Colgate, PwC and Starwood Hotels, earned her MBA from Wharton, and today, as the founder of Pathfinder Consulting, helps college students and young professionals figure out what they want, tell their story and stand out in a very competitive job market.We talk about what actually makes a candidate memorable, how to use the Cornell alumni network without sounding transactional, why networking can feel a lot like dating, and how to answer that dreaded interview question: “What's your biggest weakness?”Deborah also tells us whether an Ivy League degree really gives you an advantage, what to do after an interview, how persistent is too persistent, and why parents need to know when to help—and when to step away.And somehow a serious conversation about interviewing leads to Michelle's disastrous typing test, Deb's cheap green interview suit and Steph nearly losing circulation in her leg during a law school interview.Whether you're looking for an internship, preparing for on-campus recruiting, starting your first job search—or trying to help someone who is—Deborah's advice makes the whole process feel a little less intimidating and a lot more manageable.

This week on the Hemp Show we're digging into a few of the calendar items we mentioned on last week's show, specifically the run of events in New York state next month. On September 15, Cornell's 10th Annual Grain and Fiber Hemp Field Day comes to the Cornell AgriTech campus in Geneva. The field day will feature a John Deere combine demonstration that will include harvesting grain, drying the grain and putting the fiber harvest on display — baling it, decorticating it and splitting it into bast and hurds. Register here: https://cals.cornell.edu/events/2026-cornell-grain-fiber-hemp-field-day Then, September 16–18, the National Industrial Hemp Council will hold its Global Industrial Hemp Fiber Summit at the Fashion Institute of Technology. The theme is "Seed to Style." Two days of programming will open with a keynote from NIHC president Patrick Atagi before moving through sessions on reaching the sustainable consumer with the Bezos Earth Fund, hemp biocomposites and bioplastics with Cameron McIntosh of Americhanvre and Greg Wilson of HempWood, USDA research and natural-fiber partnerships across flax, cotton and hemp. Register here: https://nihcglobalsummit.com/ Day two of the event runs from field to fiber through equipment and processing, Latin American fiber opportunities and an international industry panel. The event will closes with "Back to the Future: Bringing Hemp Back to the Textile Mainstream," featuring Maciej Kowalski of Kombinat Konopny and "Concept to Catwalk," a look at hemp luxury moderated by Farm to Fabric's own Jen Adams. The event will be capped by an evening reception and fashion showcase. And that all leads up to Farm to Fabric, a hemp textile symposium running September 18-20 at the Brooklyn Peace Center and on Governor's Island as part of New York Textile Month. It's a free event, open to the public, with NIHC as the title sponsor. On September 18-19, the Brooklyn Peace Center feature a pop-up hemp store, a technology and digital creation room, and the Farm to Fabric Experience, where members of the Tuscarora tribe will show the historical process of pulling fiber from the stalk and turning it into yarn. On September 20, the event will continue on Governor's Island for the Julian Magazine release and a fashion presentation. This episode features a conversation with Jen Adams, organizer of the hemp fashion event in Brooklyn, who said her organization, Choose Your Change, "chose industrial hemp as a subject matter to show the breadth of what we do as an organization, but also to try to elevate and get the stories and voices in the hemp industry." Register here: https://www.fluidforms.co/f/cyc All this and more on this week's show, including a news nugget/calendar item about The Hemp Feed Coalition's upcoming webinar on August 20, a free session on Canada's hemp seed meal feed ingredient application.

Every fall, shop owners split into two camps. One says never rush the season. The other says shoppers are already out there spending, so meet them where they are. Both camps have a point, and in this episode Kathy walks through the data so you can make the call with confidence instead of going with your gut alone. Kathy breaks down three approaches to timing your holiday merchandising: flipping early, waiting for the traditional post-Thanksgiving switch, and the hybrid approach she recommends most often. She digs into what the research actually says, including consumer shopping trends showing holiday spending is starting earlier every year, a Cornell study on how storefront windows shape the way customers see your store, and why choice overload can backfire if you flip too much, too fast. You'll also get a practical, month-by-month scheduling framework you can adapt to your own store and community, plus Kathy's take on where holiday merchandise should live inside your shop so it earns its keep instead of collecting dust in a back corner. Plus, one last chance to grab Plan for Profit, Kathy's Q4 planning workshop for retailers who are done winging the busiest quarter of the year. Registration closes September 30, with replay access through October 15.

SHOW NOTES: Signs of the self-centered: •Every conversation is turned back to themselves. •They pause to discuss the play in the middle of the theater exits. •They stop to look around at the bottom of descending escalators. •They never signal for a turn or lane change. •They will wear a hat in any seating arrangement, not caring if others can't see. •They talk over you. •They make noises in public when they yawn, stretch, or belch. •They start sentences with, "Let me explain to you...." •The constantly exaggerate, "I have the best doctors in the world," "We had the best meal imaginable," "My blood pressure is perfect." •They turn to talk to someone else while a person is in the middle of a story. •They will spoil the punch line of someone else's joke. •They inflate experiences: "This had to be at least a two-star Michelin restaurant" (it actually had no stars). •They never discuss or converse, they lecture. •They don't have the most expensive car in the lot because "they really didn't want it." •If they can't have something that others have, they deride it: "Coach gets there the same time as first class," or "Your kid was accepted into Cornell? I assume that was her backup school?" •They ask people to come to the bar to have a drink, but once a crowd has developed and before the bill is presented, they disappear. •Everything their kids do is "gifted": "Did you see how he blocked the ball with his head? That's a gifted move." •They point out that great success of others are basically from luck, or connections, or sexual favors granted. •They constantly critique the government, but don't bother to vote.
Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, our featured interview is with Richard Epley of EP Pipes. Based in Kentucky, Richard began making pipe stands from bourbon barrels in 2016 before turning his attention to pipe making a couple of years later. His background with bourbon barrels has given his work a distinctly Kentucky connection, while his handmade pipes showcase his creativity and attention to detail. Richard also pours his own acrylic stems and is known for using an unusually wide range of colors rather than sticking with the traditional black stem. Brian and Richard will talk about his journey from making pipe stands to crafting pipes, his approach to stem making, and the distinctive character of his work. At the top of the show, we'll have a review of G. L. Pease Fillmore, one of the blends in the G. L. Pease line from Cornell & Diehl.
Scott Cornell returns to Fraud Watch as nearly $100 million in data-center freight has been stolen since early June.

Why do reasonable people disagree so strongly about right and wrong? And why are we so quick to assume that people on the other side of a moral or political issue are irrational, selfish, ignorant, or simply bad? Michael Shermer speaks with Cornell psychologist Audun Dahl, author of Between Fixed and Fickle: Why Our Moral Views Keep Changing, about how human morality develops and why many familiar explanations fall short. They discuss whether babies are born with a moral sense, what children and other primates can really tell us about the origins of morality, how parents shape their children's values, classic experiments in moral psychology, and whether science can tell us what is right and wrong. The conversation also turns to abortion, competing rights, immigration, religion, and the growing tendency to misunderstand and demonize people who reach different moral conclusions. Audun Dahl is a professor of psychology at Cornell University, where he directs the Developmental Moral Psychology Lab. His research examines how people develop ideas about right and wrong across the lifespan, from infancy through adulthood, and how moral judgments are shaped by everyday social interactions. He is the author of Between Fixed and Fickle: Why Our Moral Views Keep Changing.
