Podcasts about Cornell University

We've all had moments when we're not sure whether to say something. A friend is making a mistake. A colleague seems upset. We have something personal we want to share. Do we speak up? Stay quiet? And how do we know which choice is the right one? Social psychologist Vanessa Bohns studies what happens in these moments. She's a professor of organizational behavior at Cornell University and author of the new book, Should I Say Something? The Science of What to Share and What to Keep to Yourself. Her research reveals why we often misjudge how other people will respond and how those assumptions can lead us to share too much, say too little, or avoid conversations altogether. Vanessa helps us think differently about what it means to be honest, vulnerable, and open with other people. She also shares research we can use to make better decisions about when to say something and when it may be better to hold back.

Charles Stuart, aka “Snake the Bigfoot Hunter” claims he found a dead Bigfoot body in the Adirondacks, and he has a supposed DNA report from a Cornell University lab to prove it. Cornell, however, says it never performed the test. Now there's a threatened $10 million lawsuit and a furious Bigfoot hunter establishment over an alleged corpse named Dack that was on display at the New York State Fair. We investigate the alleged evidence, which involves reading surprisingly vulgar passages from Snake's Bigfoot Bible. Along the way, we check the reaction of rival Bigfoot research organizations and get too many details about a sexual escapade involving SpaghettiOs that supposedly unlocked new mysteries about the place of humans in the tree of life. But after we learn that “Snake's” name isn't really “Charles Stuart,” we're left wondering whether exposing an elaborate hoax just earns us a supporting role in a carefully-curated performance.

We begin with the Fed raising interest rates today by a quarter of a percent with an expectation there will be another increase to 4.1% later this year. Joining us to discuss how this is a response to inflation at 3.7% in July, in part caused by Trump's war on Iran, is Robert Hockett, the Edward Cornell Professor of Law and Finance and a Professor of Public Policy at Cornell University. He has first-hand experience working at the International Monetary Fund and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and continues to consult for a number of US federal, state and local legislators and regulators. His latest books are Money from Nothing Or, Why We Should Stop Worrying About Debt and Learn to Love the Federal Reserve, Financing the Green New Deal: A Plan of Action and Renewal and most recently, Spread the Fed: Distributed Central Banking for Productive Monetary Policy. Then we look into the Senate's blocking of the crypto-friendly Clarity Act in a rebuke to billionaire crypto bros trying to buy the next election while building unpopular data centers to manufacture crypto which has been a huge boon for criminals and scammers engaged in ransomware attacks etc. Joining us is Mark Hays, the Associate Director for Cryptocurrency and Financial Technology with Americans for Financial Reform and Demand Progress where he works to ensure effective regulatory oversight of cryptocurrency and other financial technologies. Previously, he was the Anti-Money Laundering Campaign Director at Global Witness. Then finally we speak with Donald Moynihan, the Gerald Ford School's J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Professor of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. Previously he served as Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy Chair of Public Policy and the director of the La Follette School at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He co-directs the Better Government Lab, which looks for technology and other types of interventions to help government improve access to the social safety net and has an article at his Substack, "China Thank Trump: The Big Winner of Trump's Assault on Higher Ed is America's Chief Geopolitical Rival." We discuss how Trump has untethered himself from reality as he destroys America's economy, alliances, health, education, science, environment, soft power, rule of law, diplomacy and now our military. backgroundbriefing.org/donate twitter.com/ianmastersmedia bsky.app/profile/ianmastersmedia.bsky.social linktr.ee/backgroundbriefing

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Caribbean people know all too well that the story of migration doesn't end at the border. Dr. Tyesha Maddox, Associate Professor at Fordham University, joins us for a conversation about the history of Caribbean mutual aid societies and benevolent associations that help communities upon their arrival in the US. We dig into what mutual aid actually means in Caribbean migration history: not charity, not a top-down savior model, but an egalitarian system where members build solutions together. Dr. Maddox connects Caribbean American mutual aid societies in New York to earlier Caribbean friendly societies after emancipation and to West African traditions of collective care. We talk burial and funeral funds as a dignified corrective to slavery's violence, support during illness and injury that looks like early workers' comp, and even maternity benefits that were well ahead of their time. We also get into susu and padna style rotating savings, and why trust is the real currency behind these networks.Then we zoom out to the social and political power of these groups. They throw parties, organize trips, teach culture to children through auxiliaries, and help people become Caribbean in the diaspora, sometimes for the first time. We also place these organizations inside the New York landscape of Harlem, Garveyism, and Black political organizing, where Caribbean immigrants help shape the world many of us now take for granted. If you care about Caribbean diaspora community, Black history, New York history, or mutual aid today, this conversation offers a blueprint worth revisiting. Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review if this made you think.Tyesha Maddox is an Associate Professor at Fordham University in the Department of African & African American Studies. She received her PhD in History from New York University in 2016. She received a BA in History and Africana Studies and a MPS in Africana Studies both from Cornell University in 2006 and 2008. Her book, A Home Away from Home: Mutual Aid, Political Activism, and Caribbean American Identity (Penn Press, 2024) examines the significance of early twentieth century Anglophone Caribbean immigrant mutual aid societies and benevolent associations in New York City. In 2020, she co-edited a comprehensive resource guide and website titled "This is Not a Riot!" (www.notariot.com) to help contextualize the Black Lives Matter Uprisings of 2020 and place them in the historical radical tradition of Black protest in the US. She also serves as a key organizer for Mutual Aid NYC's Organizing Archive and Library as well as their Public History and Political Education Committee.Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts -  Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

This week on Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski sits down with architect and sustainability expert Gunnar Hubbard, co-founder of Solenworks, for a fascinating exploration of what it means to move beyond sustainable buildings toward buildings that actively make the world better. Drawing on more than three decades of experience, Gunnar shares how growing up in a self-built log cabin in Vermont shaped his passion for architecture, passive design, and creating buildings that work with nature rather than against it.The conversation explores the shift from sustainability to climate-positive design and why the decisions made at the very beginning of a project can have such a profound impact on its long-term performance. Joe and Gunnar dig into integrative design, the relationship between building performance and financial value, and why creating healthier, more sustainable environments requires looking beyond conventional approaches to design and construction.Joe and Gunnar also venture into the future of the building industry, exploring emerging technologies, offsite construction, mass timber, and the potential for buildings to become part of the solution to growing energy demands. They discuss the role of daylighting in creating better spaces and why thoughtful design—not simply adding more glass or more technology—is essential to balancing comfort, performance, and human experience.Ultimately, the conversation makes a compelling case for buildings that do more good than harm. Gunnar shares his vision for Solenworks and the opportunities ahead for advancing climate-positive design, while reminding us that great architecture begins with understanding the people, the place, and the natural systems that connect them.More About Gunnar HubbardGunnar Hubbard, FAIA, LEED Fellow. Gunnar is an architect, entrepreneur, and sustainability leader with over 30 years of global experience who founded Fore Solutions—a pioneering green building consultancy acquired by Thornton Tomasetti, where he led their global sustainability practice for 22 years. As both a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and LEED Fellow, he has shaped sustainability strategies across continents on projects ranging from Brooklyn's 69-story Alloy Development to 158 LEED for Existing Buildings in Sweden for Vasakronan to Shanghai's five-million-square-foot International Financial Center. His unique combination of technical expertise, entrepreneurial insight, and educational leadership—including teaching at Cornell University, Executive Director of the Yestermorrow Design/Build School, and serving on the national AIA Committee on the Environment—positions him as a recognized expert in scaling sustainable solutions from vision to measurable impact. Since the fall of 2024, he has been a mentor-in-residence for the Roux Institute's ClimateTech Incubator, and now is an entrepreneur-in-residence.CONTACT:https://www.linkedin.com/company/solen-works/posts/?feedView=all https://solenworks.com/ Where To Find Us:https://bbfhpod.advancedglazings.com/www.advancedglazings.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/better-buildings-for-humans-podcastwww.linkedin.com/in/advanced-glazings-ltd-848b4625https://twitter.com/bbfhpod

Gary Yarnell knew he wanted to be a veterinarian at two years old. He never changed his mind.At Cornell, he raced through undergrad, met his future wife Laurie—and once rescued a parakeet from anatomy lab by putting it in his pocket and sneaking it out. Then came vet school, 45 years of caring for animals, and a Rye practice he built by being there for his patients around the clock. Literally.Gary tells us what veterinary medicine taught him about animals, people, empathy and letting go; how the profession has changed beyond anything he could have imagined; and why he and Laurie chose to give back to the Cornell Veterinary College that changed their lives.And after all of it? He'd absolutely do it over again.Plus: The Vet, The Duet and The Pet. Are Steph and Michelle good dog parents?We loved this conversation!Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University 

Male fertility is responsible for up to half of all fertility challenges, yet it often receives far less attention than female fertility. In this episode, Dr. Lorne Brown welcomes board-certified urologist and reproductive health expert Dr. Mark Ratner for an evidence-based discussion on sperm health, fertility testing, DNA fragmentation, lifestyle factors, and the latest research on supplements that may support male reproductive health.Together, they explore why every fertility evaluation should include the male partner, what a semen analysis can—and cannot—tell you, when advanced testing becomes valuable, and how obesity, testosterone therapy, medications, heat exposure, and nutrition can influence sperm quality. Whether you're trying to conceive naturally or through IVF, this conversation offers practical insights for both patients and practitioners.Key Takeaways:Male factors contribute to approximately 50% of infertility cases, making male evaluation essential.A single semen analysis isn't enough—results can vary, so two tests performed a few weeks apart provide a more accurate assessment.DNA fragmentation testing can be valuable after recurrent IVF failure or in selected clinical situations, but it is not a universal screening test.Obesity and testosterone replacement therapy are two of the most common reversible factors that negatively affect sperm production.Lifestyle, nutrition, antioxidants, and targeted supplements may improve sperm health, particularly DNA integrity and motility.Where to find Dr. Mark Ratner:Website: https://theralogix.com/Special Offer: https://theralogix.com/discount/LORNE?redirect=/products/ovanad Ian Kent - VP, Sales & Business Development

What does it really mean to be fully present with your clients?As healers, we spend a LOT of time mastering techniques and promising new methods, pursuing certifications and figuring out new ways to help people feel better. And all of that matters.But there's something even more foundational underneath all of that, something we can easily lose sight of:  our ability to slow down, quiet our own minds and really see the human being sitting in front of us.My guest today is psychotherapist, writer and fellow LCSW Lex Santí. Lex is developing a new psychometric framework called AMI—Acceptance Motivation Inquiry—designed to help clinicians better understand a client's motivation for therapy and their relationship to the problem they're facing.But our conversation became about something bigger than the framework itself.In this episode, you'll hear…Why moving too quickly – and assuming you already understand what's happening – can cause real harm. (Speaking from experience…)What Lex calls “inner silence,” and how your relationship with yourself can impact your ability to be truly present with anyone else.How understanding and tracking AMI's four categories (Seekers, Survivors, Skeptics and Stoics) can help us think differently about the people sitting across from us.Why meeting clients where they actually are matters way more than getting them where we think they should be.We explored the seduction of methodology, the surprising problem with our “best” clients, what AI can (and cannot!) replicate about human connection, and the extraordinary courage it sometimes takes just to walk through your door.There is nothing quite like being fully seen by another human being.And as our tools get faster, smarter and more sophisticated, I believe our ability to offer that kind of presence is going to matter more than ever.So listen to this one with your clinician hat on.And the next time you sit down with a client, see what happens when you quiet your own mind, stay curious…and let them show you who they really are.~WendyP.S. I'd love to know what this brings up for you. How does presence show up in your work? Drop me a note at Wendy@WendyPittsReeves.com and share your thoughts.

**Statistics provided by Dr. Kaufman during this episode were as of the end of July 2026** On this episode of the Beyond the Barn podcast, host Katy Starr has a conversation with two experts who bring different, and equally important, perspectives to this growing concern. Dr. Phillip Kaufman, Professor and Head of the Texas A&M University Department of Entomology and Chair of the Texas A&M AgriLife New World Screwworm Task Force, explains the biology behind this destructive fly, how it spreads, what really puts animals at risk, and where hay and forage fit into the conversation. Then, Equine Veterinarian Dr. Neil Gray shares firsthand experience treating New World Screwworm in horses throughout Central and South America, including what these infestations can actually look like, and the signs owners may easily overlook. In this episode you'll learn: Why this fly is so different from the maggots you may have encountered before and what makes it so destructiveWhat should happen if discover suspicious larvae in a wound, and why what you do next mattersDoes hay, standing forage, or transported forage create any risk in New World Screwworm transmission? Whether you own horses, cattle, sheep, goats, or other livestock (even dogs!), this episode will help you better understand New World Screwworm, separate fact from misinformation, and know what you can do to protect your animals.

What happens when two Cornell track athletes start commiserating about watered-down iced coffee on a 14-mile run? For Ben Gibson and Mikey Dizon-Bumann, it turned into Kube & Co.They tell us how they took a problem iced coffee drinkers have dealt with forever and figured out a way to actually solve it—through countless experiments, incredible creativity, unexpected setbacks, and a lot of persistence. We hear why their very different skill sets make them great partners and how Cornell—from the track team to the Hospitality Business Plan Competition—helped them turn Kube & Co. into a growing business. We talk coffee flavors (including some that definitely missed), Shark Tank dreams, why Kube is spelled with a K, and what's next.While their skill sets may be different, they share an undeniable charisma. We loved our time with them!Special thanks to Ayotunde Ejiko (episode 251) for the introduction!Find their company here: https://kubeand.co/Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University.

In this episode, I sit down with Ilhiana Rojas, who climbed the corporate ladder to become a senior Fortune 500 executive in just 12 years — often the only woman, and the youngest, in the boardroom. But somewhere along the way, chasing the version of success she thought she was supposed to have, she lost herself so completely that she burned out and fell into deep depression. We talk about what it actually looks like to reconnect with who you are after you've lost your voice, why building the right circles of people around you is one of the most important things you can do for your growth, and why 90% of women deal with imposter syndrome at some point. Ilhiana breaks down her framework for finding the confidence to speak up, owning your own narrative before someone else writes it for you, and why she's now spent her career helping unheard voices — especially women and Latinas — get heard. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not getting where you want to be, this episode is for you. About Ilhiana Rojas: Ilhiana Rojas Saldana is a Human Potential & Culture Expert, Executive & Leadership Coach, DEIB Consultant, keynote speaker, and bestselling author.

Hotel sales in the US are up 28% in the first half of 2026 — and a meaningful chunk of that activity is chasing bad Yelp reviews, not trophy assets. JMI Realty founder Drew Bridges joins the show to break down how his firm is using AI to source acquisition targets off terrible guest feedback. The specific deal: a Hilton Garden Inn in Austin bought for $100K per key that reviewers called "janky" and "a complete nightmare." Drew walks through the renovation math, why he's keeping the brand, and why only 184 of 789 US submarkets have outpaced CPI since 2019 — a stat that underpins his thesis that a massive basis reset is underway across the industry. Then the crew digs into Rafat Ali's latest column arguing that independent boutique brands have effectively become the outsourced R&D labs of the global flags. Graduate, Nomad, Standard International, Ace, CitizenM — all absorbed in the last two years. Edwin pushes back: maybe the right size for a great independent brand is just smaller than anyone wants to admit. Scott says 95% of what the public hotel companies do is shareholder theater. Ben says the Edition model — bring in a founder, protect the brand — is the playbook nobody's replicated. Spice of the week: Scott on Google's move toward agentic hotel booking and what it means for distribution. Zach on United's cinematic route reveal and the coming shift from performance marketing to storytelling. Ben on why the real risk isn't a failed bet — it's doing nothing in an industry full of dinosaurs.   About the Guest: Drew Bridges Drew Bridges joined JMI Realty in 2011 as a Financial Analyst, where he underwrote new development, acquisition, and financing opportunities. Today he leads Investment Management for JMI's developed assets, overseeing property management, implementing capital expenditure and value enhancement strategies, and managing investor relations. A graduate of Cornell University, Mr. Bridges began his career at Archon Group in Dallas, where he worked on initiatives ranging from the acquisition of non-performing loan portfolios to the spin-off of what became Pillar Hotels and Resorts.

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.

It is easy to say you would never fall for a scam when you are looking at the situation from the outside. In the moment, though, things can feel much less obvious. A request may sound reasonable, the person may seem trustworthy, and saying no can feel awkward enough that you go along with something you would normally question. Today's guest studies exactly why that happens. Vanessa Bohns is the Bronstein Family Professor and Chair of Organizational Behavior at Cornell University's ILR School. Her work focuses on social influence, compliance, and the pressure people feel to cooperate, even when they are uncomfortable with what they are being asked to do. Vanessa shares several experiments that show just how strong that pressure can be. People agreed to write in library books and even handed over their unlocked phones. She explains why it can be tougher to refuse someone in person or over the phone. The conversation also covers a few simple ways to slow things down before making a decision. Show Notes: [01:00] Vanessa Bohns explains how she began studying influence and why people are more likely to say yes than expected. [04:01] Small favors reveal how much people underestimate the power of a simple request. [06:53] The library book experiment shows how awkwardness can outweigh clear ethical concerns. [09:58] Why people are wired to cooperate and avoid the social discomfort of saying no. [15:37] How scammers use a few believable details to make an unlikely story feel true. [18:32] Why a small cue of authority can be more convincing than an elaborate explanation. [22:29] Creating distance from a request gives you time to think and verify what is happening. [25:31] Advance warning helps people make a more thoughtful decision instead of reacting automatically. [29:46] Participants hand over their unlocked phones even when private search histories are at stake. [33:16] Incentives and the fear of losing access can push people to break their own rules. [34:24] Social pressure can be powerful even when there is no financial reward. [37:49] A phishing email uses authority, urgency, and reciprocity to fool an influence expert.

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

Zwischen Body Positivity und Ozempic-Boom: Philosophin Kate Manne zeigt, warum Fettfeindlichkeit mehr ist als eine Gesundheitsdebatte, und stellt verbreitete Vorurteile über Körper infrage. Mehrgewichtige Personen gelten vielen als unbeherrscht, faul oder sogar dumm. Dabei ist das Körpergewicht weniger einfacher zu beeinflussen als viele denken und das moralische Urteil deshalb fehl am Platz. Mit dem Aufkommen von Medikamenten wie Ozempic und Wegovy könnte das Körpergewicht aber mehr und mehr zu einer Entscheidung werden, selbst für Diätresistente. Kate Manne, Philosophieprofessorin an der Cornell University in den USA, sieht diese Entwicklung kritisch: Zu gross sei die Gefahr, dass ein sozialer Druck entstehe, von den Medikamenten Gebrauch zu machen. Starkes Übergewicht könne zwar gesundheitliche Folgen haben, doch die Abwertung dicker Körper weist die Philosophin als eigenständiges Unrecht aus, das nicht mit einer Spritze oder Pille, sondern mit dem Kampf gegen die Unterdrückung dicker Menschen angegangen werden müsse. Ausgehend von eigener Erfahrung analysiert sie in ihrem Buch «Grösse zeigen» die strukturelle Diskriminierung in Schule, Job und Medizin – und plädiert für «Body Reflexivity»: den eigenen Körper nicht als Objekt fremder Moralstandards zu begreifen.

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Esther Greenhouse, CEO of Silver To Gold Strategies, a financial gerontology consultancy working at the intersection of economics and aging. Esther is an environmental gerontologist and longevity strategist. Her work at Silver To Gold Strategies equips financial planning firms to reduce preventable caregiving risks and costs. Esther applied her unique Enabling Design Method™ to help her mother delay a move to a care facility by 7 years, maintaining dignity and legacy and saving a considerable amount in estimated costs. She has worked on visionary projects, such as the U.S.'s first elder-focused ER, co-created a multiyear initiative for AARP International, served as the strategic director for the nation's first Age Friendly Center for Excellence, and created and taught a course on her unique method at her alma mater, Cornell University. Esther describes the realities and challenges families face as some of their family members enter their golden years and are choosing to age in place and talks about what this transition means for the families, their caregivers, and their advisors. She outlines how families should be planning for this stage of life and identifies the developments and decisions they will face across so many areas of their life – from home design to finances to the psychology of aging and caregiving, to mention just a few. One practical consideration – and a difficult one to discuss – is how to design the home environment around the personal hygiene needs of the family member and support their independence and dignity. Esther shares her tips on what families and family offices need to think about to achieve this goal. Another practical dimension Esther talks about is for families to develop and execute intentional longevity planning and strategy that includes generations and encourages all the difficult conversations, while providing the practical solutions families need. Can you elaborate on this. Enjoy this instructive conversation on an important, yet difficult topic with a leading expert in the field of longevity and gerontology.

Rage — Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus' son Achilles,murderous, doomed, that cost the Achaeans countless losses,hurling down to the house of death so many sturdy souls,great fighters' souls, but made their bodies carrion feastsfor the dogs and birds,and the will of Zeus was moving toward its end.Begin, Muse, when the two first broke and clashed,Agamemnon lord of men and brilliant Achilles.Those were of course the opening lines of the Illiad, written by someone who we might as well call Homer. And since in this summer of 2027 it seems that very few people are without an opinion of Homer, or The Odyssey, or how Christopher Nolan may have violated Homer's copyrights, I thought it a good time to talk with Barry Strauss, for among his many books is The Trojan War: A New History.Barry Strauss is Corliss Page Dean Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and Bryce and Edith M. Bowmar Professor in Humanistic Studies Emeritus at Cornell University. He is the author most recently of Jews vs. Rome: Two Centuries of Rebellion Against the World's Mightiest Empire, which he and I discussed in Episode 421. This is his sixth appearance on Historically Thinking.

Richard Baker raised $700 million in February 2021 and burned through it in three years. Adam Weitsman served time in federal prison, lost his ego, and rebuilt his business with a level of discipline he did not have before. In this episode of The Hard Way, Joe De Sena sits down with both entrepreneurs to break down what really separates the people who survive in business from the ones who fold.   Richard shares his "zoo bears vs. jungle bears" framework: the era of safe corporate jobs is changing, and entrepreneurs need to learn how to live on what they kill. Adam explains why he checks an entrepreneur's social media before hearing their pitch, because lifestyle often reveals work ethic faster than a slide deck.   They cover capital as both a lifeline and a curse, why Adam runs on three hours of sleep while Richard protects his eight, what failure teaches you, and what they will be looking for when founders pitch live at the Baker House Challenge at Cornell University on August 29.   Things You Will Learn Why Richard believes the world is moving from "zoo bears" to "jungle bears," and what that means for the next generation of entrepreneurs. Why Adam looks at how founders live before he listens to what they pitch. How capital can either fuel growth or make a business sloppy. Why discipline, resilience, and execution matter more than having a good idea. What separates entrepreneurs who can take a hit from those who quit when things get hard. Tools & Frameworks Covered Zoo Bears vs. Jungle Bearsa. Corporate life trains people to perform for safety. Entrepreneurship forces people to hunt, adapt, and survive on their own. Fail Small, Win Biga. Richard's approach is to risk as little personal capital as possible, keep failures small, and scale the wins when they come. Social Media Audita. Adam checks how entrepreneurs live before he evaluates their pitch. If their lifestyle does not match their claimed work ethic, that tells him everything. The Baker House Challenge is a live entrepreneurship and real estate pitch competition where founders put real deals in front of Richard Baker, Adam Weitsman, Joe De Sena, and special guests for a shot at $20,000 in prizes.

He raised $700 million in February 2021 and has built his career on a philosophy of using as little personal capital as possible: failing small and winning big. He spent 17 years working alongside his father, learning the business through daily questions from the age of 12. He is the founder of Baker House, a community and platform designed to connect, mentor, and support the next generation of entrepreneurs. The Baker House Challenge at Cornell University on August 29 brings together founders to pitch, compete, and learn.   Adam Weitsman is an entrepreneur based in upstate New York operating in an industrial, cyclical business. After going to federal prison in his early 30s, he rebuilt his career and his discipline from scratch: structured time management, deep involvement in every decision, and a work ethic that runs on three hours of sleep. Adam evaluates entrepreneurs by checking how they live before listening to what they pitch, and has been active in pre-seed investing for early-stage founders.   Connect to Richard: Website: https://bakerhouse1921.com/principles LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-baker-48a5a63b9/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/baker_house1921/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@baker_house1921   Connect to Adam: Website: https://www.adamweitsman.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-weitsman-56a3912/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamweitsman/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/adam.weitsman/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theadamweitsman X: https://x.com/AdamWeitsman?lang=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@adamweitsman

There is perhaps no figure more emblematic of the paranormal than the psychic. Able to predict the future, see into the past, and even communicate with the dead, the psychic’s (supposed) awesome gifts are matched only by his or her ability to withstand skepticism and ridicule. But are our misgivings towards these intuitives justified? Is it merely smoke and mirrors which they’ve learned to master, or are they, in fact, possessed of powers beyond our comprehension? This hour, we speak with believers, skeptics, and self-proclaimed psychics to find out. GUESTS: Daryl Bem: Emeritus professor of psychology at Cornell University and the author of Feeling the Future: Experimental Evidence for Anomalous Retroactive Influences on Cognition and Affect Allison Dubois: A psychic medium and profiler and the author of several books, including Into the Dark: How the Dead Help Us Heal Benjamin Radford: Deputy editor for Skeptical Inquirer and co-host of Squaring the Strange Emily Stroia: An ituitive medium, the founder of the Intuitive Soul Academy, and the author of several books, including Psychic Development for Beginners Jenniffer Weigel: An Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist and the author of Psychics, Healers and Mediums: A Journalist, a Road Trip, and Voices from the Other Side The Colin McEnroe Show is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, TuneIn, Listen Notes, or wherever you get your podcasts.

You're exhausted but can't sleep. Your brain feels foggy. Your mood has changed, stubborn belly fat seems to appear from nowhere, painful periods derail your life, or recurring UTIs keep coming back. If you're in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, these symptoms aren't something you should automatically dismiss as “just getting older.”In this episode of V.I.B.E. Living Podcast, Lynnis Woods-Mullins sits down with osteopathic physician Dr. Jeffrey Brown, who specializes in hormone imbalance and chronic pelvic pain, to uncover what may really be happening when hormones begin to shift during perimenopause and menopause.We explore hormone imbalance, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), estrogen dominance, cortisol, chronic stress, gut health, sleep disruption, brain fog, weight changes, and recurrent urinary symptoms—and how these seemingly separate issues may be more connected than many women realize.Dr. Brown explains what hormone therapy actually means, how BHRT approaches hormonal symptoms, and why the conversation about hormones extends far beyond hot flashes. We discuss the role hormones can play in sleep, bone health, cardiovascular health, cognitive function, mood, energy, and overall quality of life.We also take a closer look at one of the biggest disruptors of hormonal health: chronic stress and cortisol. Why can you feel completely exhausted all day and suddenly wide awake at night? What does “wired but tired” really mean? And how can long-term stress make navigating menopause and perimenopause even harder?The conversation goes deeper into estrogen dominance and gut health, including the estrobolome and the role the gut plays in estrogen metabolism. Dr. Brown also discusses when more comprehensive hormone testing may be useful and how everyday exposure to potential endocrine disruptors—including certain plastics, fragrances, cosmetics, and other environmental exposures—may affect hormonal health.Most importantly, this episode is about helping women become better advocates for themselves.If you've been told your symptoms are simply part of aging—or you know something has changed in your body but haven't been able to connect the dots—this conversation can help you understand what questions to ask and what options to explore with your healthcare provider.In this episode, you'll learn about:Perimenopause and menopause symptoms women often overlookSigns that may be associated with hormone imbalanceCortisol, chronic stress, and the “wired but tired” cycleBHRT and hormone therapyEstrogen dominanceMenopause belly fat and metabolic changesBrain fog, mood changes, and disrupted sleepGut health, estrogen metabolism, and the estrobolomeHormone testingEndocrine disruptors in everyday lifeHow to have a more productive conversation with your healthcare providerIf this conversation reminds you of yourself—or another woman in your life—share this episode with her.

In this episode, Andrew Soren is joined by developmental psychologist Kaylin Ratner to talk about eudaimonic utility, a concept that flips a familiar question on its head. Instead of asking whether an activity feels personally meaningful, Kaylin asks whether the environment around that activity is actually built to help someone become who they're meant to be.The idea grew out of Kaylin's research on GripTape, a youth program that hands participants ten weeks, a small stipend, and full ownership over something they want to learn: no curriculum, no grades, no adult steering the outcome. Andrew and Kaylin dig into what the research found, why traditional measures of success can completely miss a young person who's actually thriving, and how the same four-part framework might apply just as easily to adult workplaces. They also talk candidly about the dark side of getting this right: what happens when a person becomes so fused with a meaningful role or organization that they lose any sense of who they are outside it.Key TakeawaysEudaimonic utility is the perception that an environment (a school, a program, a job) actually supports someone's growth into who they're trying to become.A young person disengaging from an unsupportive environment isn't necessarily failing; they may be correctly sensing that the environment has little to offer their development.Four things people check for in an environment: whether it lets them pursue personally significant goals, act authentically, grow, and work toward their own excellence.Self-determination theory's three basic needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) sit underneath eudaimonic utility, though the two concepts aren't identical.In GripTape's research, day-to-day sense of purpose and day-to-day progress toward a goal reinforced each other, giving empirical support to a long-assumed but rarely tested link.The eudaimonic utility scale was built to be adapted across contexts, including workplaces, though workplace-specific research is still early.The risk Kaylin worries about most is "engulfment," or losing your sense of self entirely inside a role, job, or organization that feels deeply meaningful.Why This Episode Matters Most conversations about meaningful work focus on finding the right role or the right purpose. This episode asks a less common question: is the environment around you actually capable of supporting that purpose once you've found it? Kaylin Ratner's research suggests that a lot of disengagement, at school and possibly at work, isn't a motivation problem. It's an environment that isn't built to help someone grow into who they're trying to be. For leaders shaping teams and cultures, and for anyone evaluating their own workplace, this conversation offers a concrete, four-part way to ask whether a given environment deserves the time being spent in it, and a clear-eyed warning about what happens when that environment starts asking for too much of someone's identity in return.About Our Guest Dr. Kaylin Ratner is an Assistant Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where she advises doctoral students across the divisions of counseling psychology and developmental science and leads the Self and Psychological Well-Being Lab. Her research focuses on adolescent and young adult well-being, particularly the transition to adulthood and the role that identity, purpose, and meaning play in it. She earned her Ph.D. in Human Development from Cornell University in 2020, working with developmental psychologist Anthony Burrow, with whom she later completed a postdoctoral fellowship. Her research on eudaimonic utility, developed in partnership with the youth program GripTape, is the focus of this conversation.Mentioned in This EpisodeGripTape, the youth learning program at the center of Kaylin's researchKaylin Ratner's research on eudaimonic utilitySelf-determination theory, developed by Edward Deci and Richard RyanAnne Brafford on self-determination theoryVeronica Huta and Alan Waterman's review of the core components of eudaimoniaErik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, including identity, generativity, and integrity vs. despairDr. Anthony Burrow, Cornell University

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.

Mark A. Beck earned a BA in Business and Japanese Language from Pacific University and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Over his three-decade corporate career, he served in executive leadership at Corning Incorporated, as Executive Vice President at Danaher Corporation, and as President and CEO of JELD-WEN, guiding the company through its IPO. Today, Mark owns three manufacturing companies, co-chairs KDC/ONE, and serves as board chair for Accendra Health (formerly Owens & Minor) and IDEX Corporation. Passionate about servant leadership, he serves as faculty for the Adler Fellowship Program and has taught strategic leadership of innovation as a Visiting Professor of Practice at Cornell University. Adrienne and Mark have been married for 38 years. They reside in Matthews, North Carolina, and are the parents of five children and two grandchildren. Together, they navigated unique life blessings, including caring for their youngest son, Wesley, who was born with a rare health condition and expected to live only a few months. Wesley lived for 20 years through many miracles and Adrienne's devoted caregiving. Following his passing, Adrienne resumed her educational goals and is on track to earn her bachelor's degree later this year. Deeply committed to faith, family, and community, both Mark and Adrienne have spent years serving in Church leadership—Mark previously served as a stake president, and Adrienne as a stake Young Women president and two-time ward Primary president. Today, the couple serve side-by-side as branch president and YSA advisor for the Hemby Young Single Adult Branch in the greater Charlotte area. Beyond hosting regular home dinners and monthly “Friday Night Hangouts,” they pioneered a stake-wide mentorship program that connects young adults with community members to provide life guidance, career coaching, trade school support, and spiritual growth for the rising generation. Links Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights Mark and Adrienne Beck discuss their experiences as leaders of the Hemby Young Single Adult (YSA) branch in North Carolina. They share innovative approaches to building community and mentorship within their branch, emphasizing the importance of connection and support for young adults. Key Insights Community Building: The Becks highlight the significance of creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for YSA members, focusing on fostering a culture of acceptance and belonging. Mentorship Program: They implemented a mentorship initiative that pairs YSA members with older, experienced Latter-day Saints from the stake, providing guidance and support tailored to individual needs. Cultural Shift: The branch has cultivated a culture where members feel safe to share their struggles openly, leading to authentic testimony meetings that encourage vulnerability and connection. Diversity and Inclusion: The branch serves a diverse group of young adults, addressing various socioeconomic backgrounds and personal challenges, which enriches the community experience. Flexible Leadership: The Becks emphasize the importance of adapting leadership styles to meet the unique needs of their members, allowing for a more personalized approach to support and guidance. Leadership Applications Encouraging Mentorship: Latter-day Saint leaders can consider establishing mentorship programs within their congregations, pairing experienced members with those seeking guidance, which can alleviate the burden on leaders and provide essential support to individuals. Creating Safe Spaces: Leaders should foster environments where members feel comfortable sharing their experiences and challenges, promoting open dialogue and community support. Emphasizing Connection: By organizing regular social gatherings and informal meetings, leaders can strengthen relationships among members, enhancing the sense of belonging and community within the ward or branch. 00:03:32 – Background of the Hemby YSA Branch 00:04:07 – Establishing the YSA Branch 00:06:23 – Initial Concerns and Faith in the Process 00:08:02 – Personal Challenges and Extended Service 00:09:07 – The Calling Experience 00:10:00 – Passion for Serving Young Single Adults 00:10:44 – Building the Branch Council 00:12:06 – Creating a Positive Culture 00:14:04 – Strategies for Inclusion and Connection 00:15:41 – Unique Practices in the Branch 00:18:23 – Emphasizing Community and Togetherness 00:20:35 – Authentic Testimonies and Sharing 00:22:28 – Diversity and Its Impact on Leadership 00:23:30 – The Burden of Leadership 00:26:51 – Establishing a Mentoring Program 00:29:11 – Typical Scenarios for Mentorship 00:30:04 – Examples of Mentorship Success 00:31:27 – Adjusting the Mentorship Approach 00:32:50 – The Role of Stake Leadership 00:34:02 – Flexibility in Mentorship Pairings 00:36:10 – Navigating Challenges and Support 00:39:34 – The Impact of Community Support 00:40:54 – Encouragement for Other Leaders The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints’ mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

In a hyper-connected world filled with constant noise, notifications, and performance, we often travel just to capture the photo rather than live the moment. But what happens when true luxury isn't about being seen—it's about the privilege of disappearing? In this profound episode, Chris Schembra sits down with Nicolas Peluffo, CEO of Awasi Lodges. With over two decades of experience across hospitality, real estate, and finance, Nicolas explores how Awasi's carbon-neutral, Relais & Châteaux lodges in South America—from Patagonia and the Atacama Desert to Iguazú and Santa Catarina—provide the setting for guests to disconnect, surrender control, and reconnect with intrinsic human awe.  Together, they discuss why time and space are the ultimate modern luxuries, how unscripted nature lowers cortisol and restores genius-level creativity, why hiring for attitude over aptitude is the secret to true hospitality, and how surrendering to the present moment unlocks our deepest clarity.   10 Memorable Quotes "You come to experience something unique, right? To be in awe. And that's the reason that makes you get there." — Nicolas Peluffo "A normal hospitality company says, 'We're your home away from home.' The way we approach it is: this is your best friend's home." — Nicolas Peluffo "We're hit by way too many distractions—noise, people, email, text... that makes it increasingly difficult for anyone to be human." — Nicolas Peluffo "We all need that connection with nature. We all need that disconnection from the noise and the things that are unimportant." — Nicolas Peluffo "We're not built to be in a seat, on a sofa, definitely not in a shopping mall." — Nicolas Peluffo "When looking for attitude versus aptitude, attitude always prevails. It's very difficult to teach someone to smile, but it's pretty easy to teach someone to use Excel." — Nicolas Peluffo "Smile, not because you were told to smile. Smile because this is what you were meant to do." — Nicolas Peluffo "Hospitality is unlike any other customer experience. I don't think any other business has the same level of vulnerability and surrender both ways." — Nicolas Peluffo "Surrendering for me is letting go of all those constraints that the world told us—that we need to be better, faster, cheaper." — Nicolas Peluffo "Forcing things into existence is not the best way of going about things... Flow happens when you surrender." — Nicolas Peluffo   10 Key Takeaways The Privilege of Disappearing: In an overstimulated society, true well-being comes from reaching places where you can become unreachable and step away from constant noise. Hyper-Customized Hospitality: Exceptional experiences are built around individual human pacing ("your pace, your space") with dedicated guides and private vehicles rather than rigid group itineraries. Space for Cognitive Genius: Slowing down in nature allows the brain to process internal insights, creating the mental space needed for breakthrough creativity and innovation. The Neurobiology of Awe: Immersing oneself in vast natural landscapes reduces cortisol, lowers inflammation, and shifts focus away from big egos toward prosocial connection. Unstaged and Unscripted Moments: Authentic human experiences cannot be transactional or manufactured; they flourish in unscripted interactions with nature and local cultures. Hiring for Heart and Energy: True hospitality cannot be scripted; organizations must hire people with an innate inclination to serve, prioritize attitude over skills, and cultivate genuine presence. The Power of the Smile: Emotional energy is transmitted instantly—even through a phone call—making authentic warmth and positive energy essential for meaningful human connection. The Vulnerability of Hospitality: Creating transformative experiences requires mutual trust and vulnerability between host and guest as people share meals, stories, and life moments. Surrender Before Power: Letting go of the need to control every outcome opens up flow, presence, and deeper alignment both in leadership and in personal life. Living Intrinsically vs. Extrinsically: Shifting from external validation (like social media approval) to intrinsic presence transforms a brief transaction into a lifelong memory.   About Our Guest Nicolas Peluffo is the Chief Executive Officer of Awasi Lodges, a collection of carbon-neutral luxury lodges and Relais & Châteaux member set in South America's most remote corners—including the Atacama Desert, Torres del Paine, Iguazú, and Santa Catarina.

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.
