Podcast appearances and mentions of David Brooks

It's Monday, September 28th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslims killed Nigerian pastor, wounded his son, and killed 12 others Armed Muslims killed a pastor and a believer on their way to worship God on Sunday morning in Plateau State, Nigeria, reports International Christian Concern. The pastor's son is in critical condition.  This was not an isolated attack. Just hours earlier, five laborers in the region were shot on their way to work. Gunmen also terrorized several surrounding communities, ultimately killing 13 people.  These murders reflect the heightened outbreaks against Christians and Christian-majority areas in the country.  According to TruthNigeria, this past week, 41 people were reportedly killed, and at least 100 were kidnapped. In Revelation 6:9-10, it says, “When [Jesus] opened the fifth seal, [John the disciple] saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, ‘How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until You judge the inhabitants of the Earth and avenge our blood?'” Argentinian President: The United Nations is “useless” In a gutsy appearance before the United Nations, Argentinian President Javier Milei said, "[The United Nations] has become a useless organization whose only purpose is to sustain a caste of fatally arrogant parasites masquerading as well-intentioned bureaucrats.” Incoming Democrat Rep. arrested in anti-Israel protest Dozens of New York Democratic politicians, including incoming Democratic Socialist Congresswoman Darializa Chevalier, were among those arrested on September 24th for ignoring police orders during an anti-Israel protest of 250 people, reports The Western Journal. Chevalier is a socialist ally of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani who is expected to be in Congress come January. She was protesting the speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations General Assembly whom she called a “war criminal.” She said, “As the Democratic nominee for New York's 13th Congressional District, I refuse to allow a war criminal to roam the streets of our city unchallenged. I refuse to play host to a man who has overseen the slaughter or injury of more than 64,000 children in Gaza with American taxpayer dollars.” While Chevalier has not yet won the election, a very deep blue New York 13th District practically guarantees a victory. The politician arrested for disrespecting the rule of law has previously tweeted about abolishing police, prisons, and borders, and has explicitly called for the government to seize private property.  In one now deleted September 2021 post, Chevalier wrote, “A world without borders—just like a world without prisons or police—is possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward.” Media commentator: We are not spin doctors for Democrats Appearing on PBS' NewsHour, David Brooks of The Atlantic surprised his leftist media colleagues by asserting that too many in the mainstream media have become too cozy with Democrat politicians from whom they should distance themselves. Listen. BROOKS: “Starting in 2015, we, in the mainstream media, learned that, if you bash Donald Trump, the clicks go up, the ratings go up. It became the business model. We play it straight. We do our job, but it's become the business model. “We get to go to dinners, sometimes off-the-record dinners, between journalists, columnists, and politicians. It used to be, when you were at a dinner, an off-the-record dinner with the Democratic politician, there was distance between the journalists and the Democrats, because they're politicians. Our job is to keep some distance. “In my view, at many places and in many of the dinners I have been to, there's no distance anymore. And that is a problem for the media. And that is our problem. We have got to re-establish some distance from the Democratic Party. “These are people we cover. They're not people we root for. They're not people we're spin doctors for. They're people we cover.” (You can see those comments at the 7:05 mark in this video) Supreme Court allows Trump to verify only U.S. citizens vote In a 6-3 decision on September 25th, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to resume its expanded voter citizenship verification program, which lets states use Social Security records to check voters' citizenship to ensure that noncitizens do not illegally vote in the upcoming November 3rd election, reports CBS News. That decision paused a lower court order by U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan in June that claimed that the voter verification system somehow violated federal privacy laws. Not surprisingly, Judge Sooknanan was a Biden appointee. Leftist Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Jackson dissented. New Jersey Lt. Gov. resigned over sexual harassment complaint On September 25th, New Jersey Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that Democratic Lt. Governor Dale Caldwell resigned from his position amid allegations in an ethics report that claimed he violated state sexual harassment policies, reports The Epoch Times. A 61-page report, conducted by a law firm commissioned by the governor's office, found that Caldwell made an advance toward a female staffer's friend and allegedly made a crude remark to the staffer. The staffer also attempted “to distance herself from him and to avoid travel with him when possible.” Kind gesture of pizza delivery driver richly rewarded And finally, when a Domino's store in Boise, Idaho ran out of Diet Coke, the 68-year-old delivery driver, Dan Simpson, took it upon himself this past March to make a special trip to a nearby grocery store and personally pay for a 2-liter soda for the customer to accompany the pepperoni pizza, reports The New York Post. When the surprised customer heard about what happened, he offered to reimburse Dan.  Simpson refused, saying that they had tipped him well and he just wanted to make sure that their order was right. Listen to that encounter captured on the customer's Ring camera. SIMPSON: “We were out of Diet Cokes.” WILSON: “Okay.” SIMPSON:  “I stopped at the store, though.” WILSON: “Oh, you did not have to do that.” SIMPSON:  “That's okay.” WILSON: “Did you really?” SIMPSON: “Yeah, that's all right.” Brian Wilson, the man who placed the order, explained to Channel 2 News, why Dan's act of kindness meant so much to him and his wife. WILSON: “Our situation is unique in the fact that my wife and I are both visually impaired. We share the same retinal disease. Hers is more progressed than mine. “So, she doesn't unfortunately drive at all. I do still have daytime ability to drive, but at night, when you got those Diet Coke cravings, you can't just run up to the store, right? It's not as easy for us as it would be for someone else who is sighted completely.” Galatians 5:22 lists the fruit of the Spirit to include “love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” According to the now viral video captured by the Ring camera, and seen by millions of people, the couple, who were dazzled by Simpson's helpfulness, created a social media donation page which raised enough money to help the pizza delivery man to retire. SIMPSON: “I checked my bank account, and there was $163,000. What a retirement gift that was!” Simpson was especially grateful because he had been juggling a full-time job in addition to delivering pizza at night for the past 13 years. In an interview with KTVB-TV, Simpson shared that he had previously abused alcohol, but had learned his lesson. SIMPSON: “I got in a lot of trouble with drinking and drugs, and I've been clean and sober now for well, this September, I think will be 24 years. I did go to prison twice for DUIs, and when I got out, I said, ‘That's it!' I knew I'd never drink again. I was just finally done. Ever since I stepped out of prison, I've basically worked two jobs and worked hard and tried to do the right thing.” Remarkably, he plans to continue to deliver pizza on the weekends, so he doesn't get bored in retirement.

In “Imaginal Meditation,” Emily West Horn introduces an approach to imaginal practice—drawing on Vajrayana deity yoga, Jack Kornfield, Chögyam Trungpa, and Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche—to show how invoking, dissolving, and embodying the image of the Buddha can loosen the boundary between self & world, inclining the mind toward non-duality.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about the difference between being an Illuminator and a Diminisher.And why some people can make you feel seen, lit up, and welcome, while others can make you feel kinda' invisible.I tell a story about some recent experiences of being in rooms with people I've known my whole life who never asked me a single question about myself. (WTF is up with that?

“Over the past few years, I’ve dug deeper into connecting with the universe, connecting with nature, knowing that I am supported by forces outside of me.” – Suha Patel Suha Patel arrived at the Hoffman Process eight years ago. Her mantra coming in was, “I want to know who I am. I want to love myself. I want to know what I want. And I want to be able to ask for it.” Over those seven days and the eight years since, Suha has worked hard to know the answers to her questions and live into what she has longed for. Suha as a child Suha spent the majority of her life in her head, problem-solving everything, including herself. But knowing and loving oneself requires more than intellect. During her Process, the Quadcheck, a Hoffman tool, helped Suha discover her whole self. She dove into her whole self when she discovered her Quadrinity: intellect, body, emotional self, and Spiritual Self. Suha describes coming to know a whole inner community within herself, including her dear inner child. When she talks about her inner child, her voice lights up with joy. By spending time with her inner child, she realized why she stayed small and hadn’t stood up for what she wanted. For Suha, one of the great gifts of taking the Process has been a deepened spirituality. Growing up in India, she'd never been to a temple or sought out God. At Hoffman, she connected to something greater than herself – the Universe, nature, and the spiritual forces that support her. By the end of her week at Hoffman, Suha realized the first item in her mantra: to know who she is. She found she knew herself in new and beautiful ways. Asking for what she wants has taken longer, but Suha is steadily working toward fulfilling her beautiful mantra. We hope you enjoy this joyful conversation with Suha and Sadie. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Suha Patel: Suha Patel is a global business leader, mentor, and lifelong student of human behavior whose journey has spanned four continents, executive leadership, and deep personal transformation. As a biotech executive, she spent decades leading in high-performance environments while quietly believing that staying small and silent was the safest way to move through the world. Her path into self-awareness, nervous system healing, and inner-child work has radically changed the way she understands leadership, relationships, identity, and emotional well-being. Today, Suha is passionate about exploring the invisible patterns that shape our lives – the survival strategies we mistake for personality, and the ways unresolved emotional experiences quietly influence how we love, lead, speak, and connect. Through honest storytelling and deep reflection, she brings a grounded, compassionate perspective to conversations about healing, self-awareness, emotional regulation, and what it truly means to feel safe enough to become oneself.

David Brooks is one of America's most recognized public intellectuals. He is a staff writer at The Atlantic, a senior fellow at Yale University's School of Global Affairs, and a longtime cultural and political commentator for PBS NewsHour. For many years, he was an opinion columnist at The New York Times and is the author of many best-selling books including The Road to Character, The Second Mountain, and How To Know a Person. These days, David gives much of his attention to the challenges and promises of higher education. In this episode, he shares key takeaways including how to be attentive to what he calls “moments of annunciation.”

This series is about what God actually says about doing relationships well. Not opinions. Not advice from someone who has it all figured out. God's Word — applied to the marriages, friendships, families, and workplaces we actually live in.This week: friendship.The number of people who report having no close personal friends has increased fourfold since 2000. Author and researcher David Brooks reports that 54% of Americans say nobody knows them well. We have more ways to connect than any generation in history — and we are lonelier than ever. We've done something strange to the word "friend." We know what strangers' homes look like on the inside, where they vacationed, what they ordered for dinner — and most of them aren't really our friends. The world has given us the illusion of connection while quietly replacing the real thing. But the loneliness epidemic isn't just a social problem. It's a spiritual one. And the church has an answer — because God designed us for exactly this.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Episode 1016 puts Tone Policing on trial, tracing the long history of the powerful lecturing the powerless about civility while dodging the actual substance of their protests — from abolitionists to MLK to anti-war marchers, memory-holed by CNN in 2005. Driftglass and Blue Gal revisit David Brooks' unhinged 2005 meltdown over Harry Reid daring to question the Iraq War intelligence, proving that the Tone Police always overreact hardest exactly when someone hits a nerve. That pattern plays out live this week when Jon Ossoff makes one factually accurate remark about Trump's laziness and his aide, Natalie Harp, triggering a Fox News meltdown, a Newt Gingrich tantrum, and a media firestorm that made "Natalie Harp" the most-searched name in Washington. The episode's verdict is simple: until Democrats are out from under MAGA fascism, f**k Courtesy Class.Links for this episode: The Guardian:  https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/19/trump-white-house-attacks2005 NBC Transcript:  https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna9438988The Hill: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/6036115-ossoff-calls-trump-crook/Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Whether you're looking to scale your advisory firm, improve your marketing strategy, or build a stronger brand presence, today's guest offers practical insights into how he has successfully done all that and more.  David Brooks is the founder of Retire SMART, an RIA based in Omaha, Nebraska, that oversees approximately $800 million in assets under management for 1,000 client households. David joins the show today to share his strategic approach to marketing and growth, including how educational events, radio, television, podcasts, YouTube, and social media have helped him expand his reach and build trust with prospective clients. He also talks about how he measures marketing ROI, creates value through tax-focused planning, and navigates the operational challenges that come with rapid growth.  For show notes and more visit: https://www.kitces.com/503  

This 2023 interview is probably requested for resharing more than any other .... David Brooks, talking about his book "How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen." Brooks was a columnist for the New York Times for many years before leaving to join the staff at The Atlantic earlier this year. He is also a well-known commentator.

Episode 1015 takes apart James Carville, the "rusted-out antique device" who trashes progressives on Fox News over a single deleted Thanksgiving tweet and then pivots to backing the very candidate he just attacked, all while forgetting his own most famous line ("It's the economy, stupid"). Driftglass and Blue Gal do the math on his supposed DSA takeover panic — two national officeholders versus 257 mainline Democrats — and coin a new verb, "Carvilling," for pundits who tantrum toward MAGA cameras whenever Democrats won't chase imaginary hippies. The episode also solves a year-and-a-half mystery: why Jamelle Bouie waited so long to demolish a David Brooks column, tracing it back through Bob Herbert, Paul Krugman, and Reagan's Neshoba County dog whistle to an unwritten New York Times rule against columnists attacking colleagues in print. It's about faithless allies, decibels versus messaging, and the actual math behind a manufactured crisis.Links for this episode: Driftglass on The Bob Cesca Show – https://www.bobcesca.com/the-bob-cesca-interview-driftglass-day-8-12-26/Driftglass on The Nicole Sandler Show – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyneHDGQkr8 Carville on CNN https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/05/politics/james-carville-election-what-mattersJamelle Bouie, full video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46tpqFxfomI More at proleftpod.com. Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

In this episode, John continues his conversation with John Ray, diving into how genuine relationship-building — through remembering the small details, sending handwritten notes, and giving without expecting anything back — sets you apart in business. They also discuss the role faith plays in leadership and business, the real definition of success, and how joy differs from happiness. About John Ray: After a successful career in investment banking, investment management, and strategic advisory, John Ray left the corporate world in 2013 to build his own business. It didn't take long to find the gap nobody had prepared him for: he routinely undervalued his own expertise, struggled to set prices that matched the outcomes he delivered, and watched his clients do the exact same thing. He spent the next several years figuring out how to fix it, for himself first, then for the consultants, coaches, attorneys, CPAs, fractional executives, and other expert practitioners who hire him today to gain clarity, confidence, and profitability through positioning, pricing, and value-based business development. That work became his first book, The Generosity Mindset: A Journey to Business Success by Raising Your Confidence, Value, and Prices (2023). His second book is set for release in the first quarter of 2027. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Why knowing your client (and the "Rendezvous barbecue" story) matters [01:42] - Building real relationships through meaningful, family-focused check-ins [06:32] - The power of handwritten notes and tracking your gratitude [09:41] - How John Ray's faith shapes his business and leadership [17:01] - The Generosity Mindset: giving people dignity, not just money [19:37] - What success really looks like to John Ray [22:10] - Inside John Ray's podcast, The Price and Value Journey [24:18] - The traits of a great leader (and lessons from bad ones) [28:01] - How John Ray invests in his own growth [31:38] - What the people who annoy us can teach us about ourselves [34:05] - How John Ray invests in his marriage [37:05] - Happiness vs joy  [39:18] - How to connect with John Ray [39:52] - Final Four quick-fire questions [40:38] - Books recommended [43:24] - Wrap-up NOTABLE QUOTES: "You gotta know your client." "It's little things like that mean the world to people." "When you gamify it, it makes it important." "Business is not just about the profit. It's about the impact you make." "Actions do speak louder than words ... it ought to show up in your actions first." "It's not mine to begin with. I'm just a steward of it." "You're giving them the dignity. You're giving them their sense that they're a child of God." "We all die without anything ... so the question is, what do you leave?" "It's a journey, folks. Give yourself grace." "It could be that you recognize those shortcomings because you share them." "We see ourselves in all our complexity, and we see others as something of a flattened cartoon character." "I'm interested in joy, because joy is an active choice to stay positive ... regardless of what's happening." "We will all suffer. The only question is how."

Undersheriff Sylvia Moir has spent nearly four decades serving in law enforcement, leading six different agencies, serving as Chief of Police in three cities, and now helping lead the Marin County Sheriff's Office. But as she explains in this conversation, her career was never about chasing titles, it was about becoming exceptional at the role she was in, saying yes to opportunities, and giving more than she expected in return. In this episode of The Chief Exchange Podcast, Sylvia shares why she believes comparison is the thief of joy, how "give to gain" has shaped her leadership philosophy, and why resilience is built every time we choose to step into the arena despite uncertainty. We also discuss the difference between leaders with substance and "Hollow Bunnies," the importance of being tactically sound instead of simply hoping to go home safely, and why leaders must be willing to embrace discomfort if they truly want to grow. We also dive into Sylvia's journey through six law enforcement agencies, the power of self-reflection and micro-adjustments, why timing often matters more than having a perfectly scripted career plan, lessons from David Brooks' The Second Mountain, why police and fire collaboration has never been more important, and what she knows today that she wishes she had known when she first put on the badge.

In this episode, David Brooks explores the art of seeing others and being deeply seen, and why our ability to make another person feel truly seen, heard, and understood may be one of the most important skills we can develop. He discusses the power of curiosity, the questions that lead to genuine connection, and how wise friends help us rewrite the stories we tell ourselves. Along the way, David explores loneliness, depression, difficult conversations, and why learning to truly know another person can transform not only our relationships, but our own lives.

In this episode of The Hollow Bunny Leadership Podcast, former police chiefs Sylvia Moir and Kristen Ziman explore personal transformation and leadership after stepping away from executive roles, drawing on concepts from Jim Collins, David Brooks, and Colin Powell. They break down a four-part framework for navigating life's major transitions: confronting the Cliff (defining, trajectory-altering life events), navigating the Fog (the uncertain period after a crisis that demands disciplined patience rather than hasty action), tending the Fire (the enduring internal purpose that outlasts any job title), and cultivating Self-Knowledge (continually re-evaluating one's identity across different seasons of life). Ultimately, the hosts highlight that true fulfillment comes from separating your personal worth from your position, using resilience and inner purpose to guide your next chapter.

Do you have what it takes to thrive in the era of AI? Watch the video of this episode on YouTube Playlist We talk a lot about AI on this show. And at a time when everyone is questioning the ethics of it all, David Brooks is more interested in what kind of people we should be no matter what happens with AI. His latest for The Atlantic, “The People Who Will Thrive in the AI Age” starts with a comforting bit of research: AI is not necessarily taking our jobs or lessening our workloads. Instead, it's changing the way we relate to our work. And, the way we respond to this change will have more to do with our success in an AI era than anything else. Brooks says that the future doesn't belong to those who optimize every task, but to those who continue pursuing the uniquely human work of enthusiasm and volition. If you've been wondering what kind of person will succeed in the onslaught of AI technology, how to be the kind of person that weathers the perceived storm, or what the development of AI means for the modern Christian: this conversation is for you.  Resources mentioned in the episode: “The People Who Will Thrive in the AI Age” by David Brooks What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami The Hungry Mind: The Origins of Curiosity in Childhood by Susan Engel Keep up with Russell: Subscribe to Russell on Substack Sign up for the weekly Moore to the Point newsletter  Submit a question for the show at questions@russellmoore.com  Subscribe to the Christianity Today Magazine: Special offer for listeners of The Russell Moore Show: Click here for 25% off a subscription.

With the release of Christopher Nolan's adaptation of the Odyssey, it seems like everyone's been talking about a 3,000-year-old epic again. But my guest thinks this ancient tale offers a framework for understanding our modern lives that you probably haven't heard before.Patrick Deneen is a professor of political science and the author of American Odyssey. Today on the show, Patrick argues that Odysseus embodies a tension that has defined the human experience, and especially the American experience: we're both home-seeking and exploring, rooted and restless. We long to settle down somewhere, yet we're equally driven to push beyond the horizon in search of something new. Patrick shares how Alexis de Tocqueville made this observation about our country two centuries ago, how Odysseus navigates the temptation to become both more than human and less than human, and the surprising act Patrick thinks is the most heroic thing Odysseus does. We end our conversation with the idea that having a home can give us the confidence to explore, or as David Brooks put it, "All of life is a series of daring explorations from a secure base."Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: 3 Lessons From Homer's OdysseyAoM Podcast #337: What Homer's Odyssey Can Teach Us TodayDemocracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville"Ulysses" by Alfred, Lord TennysonConnect With Patrick DeneenPatrick's faculty pagePatrick's websiteAmerican Odyssey's page on Creed and Culture's website0:00 Intro & sponsor plugs0:41 Patrick Deneen's American Odyssey & Nolan's film2:28 Nolan's changes to Odysseus's character4:56 Dante's Odysseus in hell7:33 Why Odyssey keeps drawing Patrick back13:02 The most American text: home-seeking vs exploring17:15 Tocqueville's restless Americans20:03 Restlessness as source of American unhappiness21:03 Odysseus vs the temptation to be more/less than human26:14 That temptation in modern American life31:26 Odysseus's underworld talk with Achilles39:41 What today's Americans can take from that41:24 Does Odysseus stay home?

The Brooks Estate has remained one of the most fascinating locations we've ever investigated—and after returning with Chris and Ana from AC Ghosthunters, we understand why. In this follow-up investigation, we revisit the historic Brooks Estate in East Prairie, Missouri, to continue documenting the unexplained activity reported throughout the home. What follows is one of the most active investigations we've ever experienced. Throughout the investigation, we capture numerous intelligent EVP responses, repeated equipment interactions, unexplained sounds, shadow figure reports, and responses that appear to correspond with documented historical records connected to the Brooks family. One of the most compelling moments involves communication with a child believed to be William "Billy" Brooks, whose responses closely align with historical research conducted before and after the investigation. Later in the evening, another voice appears to identify itself as David Brooks—the man who built the home—leading to one of the most memorable moments we've ever recorded. As always, we approach every investigation through documented history, archival research, eyewitness accounts, and careful evidence review rather than sensationalism. We present what we experienced and invite you to draw your own conclusions. If you haven't listened to our original Brooks Estate episode (Season 4, Episode 6), we strongly recommend starting there before listening to this investigation. In this episode: • Return to the Brooks Estate • Chris & Ana from AC Ghosthunters join the investigation • Intelligent EVP sessions • Spirit communication experiments • Historical discoveries connecting to the Brooks family • EMF and tripwire activity • Analysis of the evidence and historical records Generation X Paranormal explores the intersection of history and the unexplained, investigating haunted locations through research, documentation, and firsthand experience.

The idea of surrender has never appealed very much to me. I’ve found more value in qualities like desire, passion, creativity, and personal agency. But lately life has pushed me to the place where surrender is my only option. And I’m learning not only why surrender matters but when it matters. Because surrender alone isn’t the answer to all of your problems (or mine). But when the moment of surrender arrives, you have a choice: to trust and leap or to suffer at the edge of what’s calling your name.

Before this month's semiquincentennial celebration, the United States' last milestone anniversary was in 1976–during a difficult period. “The 1970s were a rough time–9 percent unemployment, 15 percent inflation, violent crime tripled, divorce rates tripled. It was a rough time,” says David Brooks, staff writer for The Atlantic. Still, he says, it was a unifying and uplifting moment. He asks Danielle Allen, Reihan Salam, Martha Jones, and Shilo Brooks how today is different from the bicentennial and whether the original ideas that bound us together–laid out in the Declaration of Independence–still apply. Allen is political science professor at Harvard; Salam is president of the Manhattan Institute; Jones is a professor at John Hopkins University; and Shilo Brooks is president and CEO of the George W. Bush Presidential Center.

In this episode of the Culture Eats Everything podcast, Kevin Davis sits down with David Brooks, Executive Director of St. Anne's Terrace in Atlanta, to discuss what it really takes to build and sustain a thriving organizational culture. Having worked his way up from driving the bus and washing dishes to leading the entire community, David shares how every role shaped his leadership philosophy.The conversation explores the importance of hiring for attitude over experience, creating a workplace where employees genuinely enjoy coming to work, and why culture is the greatest competitive advantage in attracting and retaining both staff and residents. David also reflects on the challenges of stepping into executive leadership, learning to trust his team, embracing vulnerability, and understanding that great leaders don't have all the answers—they empower others to contribute theirs.Whether you're leading a business, managing a team, or aspiring to grow into leadership, this episode is packed with practical insights on servant leadership, transparency, humility, and building a culture people never want to leave.Click here to buy our book:

On today's episode, JC dives into one of higher education's most pressing debates: is the flood of low-quality AI-generated content—what some call "AI slop"—the fault of the technology itself or of its human users? Drawing from David Brooks' recent Atlantic article and a machine-generated debate, this episode explores how artificial intelligence is changing the standards of effort, judgment, and quality in academic and professional work. Are we lowering the bar for ourselves because the tools are so easy to use, or has technology fundamentally reshaped our cognitive landscape, making quality harder to maintain? Stay tuned as we untangle where the real responsibility lies and what it takes to truly thrive in the age of AI.

Harry talks with David Brooks about how we can redeem the society that produced an epidemic of loneliness, a shallow public life, and of course, Donald Trump. The two discuss Brooks's stubborn optimism and the solutions he thinks could turn the tide toward a stronger, more communal America. Brooks lays out his hopes and fears for AI, warning of a society riven not just by income inequality but “cognitive inequality.” And he describes the kind of leader he'd like to see funnel the widespread demands for change that continue to roil American politics.  Learn more about your ad choices.

As we come to the 250th celebration of America's founding, what is happening in our country? Pundits, writers, historians, political scientists, and average citizens are all trying to take stock of where we are as a nation. In this episode, we seek perspective by returning to the conversation between Mark Labberton and David Brooks immediately following the 2024 election, before the beginning of Trump's second term and all the events that have unfolded since. Whether you come to the 250th celebrating our national life, or questioning our national life; whether you're in support of what's happening currently in America, or whether you're overwhelmed by so much that you wish was different, may we give thanks. Thanks be to God for the place that we get to live, even as it's a place that is struggling to reach its ideals, and may we continue to pray and seek its welfare, its justice, its purpose, its fairness, and its equity. In this episode, Mark Labberton welcomes David Brooks (The Atlantic, formerly of The New York Times) for reflections about the 2024 General Election, the state of American politics, and how we got here. Together they discuss the multi-generational class divide; sources of alienation and distrust; how loss of faith and meaning influences political life; intellectual virtues of courage, firmness, humility, and flexibility; what it means to be a Republican in exile; the capacity for self-awareness and self-critique; and much more. Episode Highlights "In my opinion, Donald Trump is the wrong answer to the right question." "The flow of status and respect in this country has gone to people with elite credentials." "If you tell 51% of the country 'Your voices don't matter,' people are going to get upset." "Jesus was more a badass revolutionary than an Oxford don." "The world just loves a human being that's trying to act like Jesus."

Show Notes A spiritual or emotional crisis we're working out in American politics Should we blame inflation and economic factors? (Biden's Covid-19 overstimulation) Class divide is a generational thing High-school-educated voters are increasingly alienated from the Democratic Party Alienation and distrust is a multi-decade process Loss of Faith, Loss of Meaning, and the "Death of God" An exiled Republican "Confessions of a Republican Exile" (via The Atlantic): "A longtime conservative, alienated by Trumpism, tries to come to terms with life on the moderate edge of the Democratic Party." "I'm a Whig." ("Abraham Lincoln was a Whig.") Edmund Burke and epistemological modesty—"don't revolutionize something you don't understand." You should operate on society in the way you operate on your father, with care. Alexander Hamilton Whig tradition is unrepresented in contemporary American politics How David Brooks waffles between Democrat and Republican Isaiah Berlin: "At the rightward edge of the leftward tendency." "The capacity for self-critique" Matt Yglesias Humble, introspective, and "how did we get so out of touch?" Racism and sexism are not what's driving Trump voters "In my opinion, Donald Trump is the wrong answer to the right question." Mark Noll and America's use of the Bible: un-self-aware and un-self-critical Why is there more capacity for self-critique on the Democratic side? Jonathan Rauch and "Epistemic Regime": includes media, universities, scientific research, review process, etc. "There's still a core of people who believe 'if the evidence says x, you should say y.'"

Episode 1000 of The Professional Left opens with the countdown finally hitting zero — and instead of a victory lap, Driftglass and Blue Gal do exactly what they've been doing for 999 episodes: explain the thing hiding in plain sight that everyone else is too polite, too complicit, or too invested in the status quo to say out loud. The Trailer Trash Woodstock that took over the White House lawn gets put in its proper historical context — not as something shocking and new, but as the entirely predictable result of decades of Republican appeasement of its worst impulses, a straight line running from Rush Limbaugh's Lincoln Bedroom sleepover to the rubble of the East Wing. A brief but devastating tour through PBS's Friday night ritual of performative Both Siderism — featuring everyone's favorite human pretzel, David Brooks — makes the case that the cage match on the White House lawn and the quiet dinner-table tones of public television are actually serving the same purpose for two different audiences. And after 1000 episodes of being told they were alarmists, crackpots, and too angry, Driftglass and Blue Gal are still here, still right, and just getting started.Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

The Stock Market explodes as The Iran deal drops this Friday. Obama's response: low-key bitter. Trump hosts UFC 250 on the South Lawn at the WH. Smug lefties like David Brooks at PBS hate it- calling it evidence of cultural decline. Men wearing dresses reading to kids and competing in women's sports was fine, though. Pick a lane.

Nicholas Epley is a mind reader. But he doesn't have ESP or practice hypnosis. He's not telepathic or clairvoyant. Sure, you could ask him to read your fortune, but you'd be better off with a Magic 8 Ball. When we say Nick is a mind reader, what we mean is he studies mind reading at the University of Chicago — studies, as he puts it, "how we make inferences about each other's thoughts and beliefs and attitudes, and mostly how we screw that up." Today, he makes small talk — and big talk — with Rufus about his new book, A Little More Social, which draws on the dozens of studies he's run with thousands of participants to show that talking to strangers, cringe as it may feel, can enliven your days, lengthen your life, and maybe even heal our politics.

Drawing on insights from thinkers like Sam Harris, James Baraz, and David Brooks, Dr. Hall discusses how mental health is an essential part of overall well-being and why normalizing conversations around stress, anxiety, and emotional struggles matters. Through reflections on mindfulness, letting go of judgment, and building meaningful relationships, this episode offers practical and thoughtful invitations for improving mental and emotional health in everyday life. Recorded, Edited & Produced by Averee Bates, Christy Gonzalez, Harper Xinyu Zhang, Madison McArthur, Kailey Hopkins, and Tanya Gale

In this episode of The Professional Left, Driftglass and Blue Gal trace how the Clinton-era budget surplus was dismantled piece by piece during the Bush years, setting the stage for the catastrophic financial collapse of 2008. While millions of Americans lost their jobs and homes, the mainstream media — led by Both Sides propagandists like David Brooks and the newly hired Bill Kristol — refused to lay the blame where it actually belonged: on the Republican Party. Driftglass and Blue Gal have been calling out this "Both Sides Do It" lie for over twenty years, and this episode shows exactly how that lie worked in real time to let Republicans off the hook for disasters of their own making. From the gutting of PAYGO rules to the death of the auto industry bailout in the Senate, the evidence is clear — both sides don't.Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Episode 3002: Cylon George explores how meaning, purpose, and emotional well-being grow through human connection, drawing on nature, neuroscience, and everyday life.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.spirituallivingforbusypeople.com/how-to-feel-more-connected-to-others Quotes to ponder: “People generally overestimate how distinct their lives are, so the commonalities seemed to them like a series of miracles.” “It's hard to find meaning in what we do if at some level it doesn't help someone else or make someone happier.” “We may be free, healthy, and well fed, but our lives feel more meaningless than ever.
