Episode Description:Your lab work is not your health. Your biography is. Dr. Lucy McBride is a Harvard-trained internal medicine physician with 25 years of clinical practice and the author of Beyond the Prescription, published with Simon and Schuster in August 2026 with a foreword by Mary Claire Haver. She practices medicine the way almost no one does anymore: by treating the whole person, not the panel. This conversation moves through childhood trauma and metabolic disease, weight loss and GLP-1s, SSRIs and the one thing no pill will ever fix. It is one of the most honest conversations about what health actually is that Heal Thy Self has ever had. Dr. Lucy McBride's health takes: Take 1: "The lab work you get done with your doctor rarely shows the most interesting aspects of your health" Dr. McBride makes the case that biographic data is clinical data. Growing up in poverty, in a chaotic household, with an alcoholic parent — none of that appears on a blood panel, and all of it directly shapes how a patient thinks, eats, drinks, relates, and heals. Take 2: "The body is the scorekeeper" Chronic nervous system dysregulation does not stay in the nervous system. Dr. McBride explains how unprocessed emotional stress shows up as high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and autoimmunity, and why prescribing a pill without asking the deeper question is solving the wrong problem entirely. Take 3: "Sometimes you don't need a GLP-1. Sometimes you just need to eat lunch" One of the most counterintuitive takes of the episode. Dr. McBride explains why chronic low-grade restriction sends the metabolism into survival mode, why stubborn weight that will not move is sometimes the body's response to not being fed enough, and why the first question to ask is about your relationship with food — not your caloric intake. Take 4: "Sometimes you don't need Prozac. You need a divorce" Dr. McBride closes with her most powerful take. SSRIs are not the problem — the system that prescribes them in five-minute appointments is. She makes the case that no amount of pharmacology can resolve the social and emotional toll of living in chronic fear or unhappiness, and that agency is the medicine no pill can replicate. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why abnormal metabolic markers are often downstream symptoms of chronic nervous system dysregulation, and why understanding a patient's emotional and social context changes the entire treatment picture • Why the metabolism responds to restriction the same way it responds to famine, what that means for stubborn weight that will not move, and why your relationship with food is sometimes the most complicated relationship you have • Why SSRIs are overprescribed not because they are bad but because the system does not have time to ask better questions, and what the actual work of mental health requires that no supplement or medication can substitute for Health is not about having all the answers. It is about asking better questions.

I'm going to assume you are aware that we are at a time when, even though we are often in communication with more people than ever, quantity wise, we are statistically connecting with fewer people than ever. The stats on loneliness and isolation are at equal or all time highs. I have been giving focus to how we connect, but a key issue is what we are connecting with. Meaning, what are we sharing with other people? My guest in this episode is Leslie John, the James E. Burke Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School. Her award-winning research appears in top academic journals and media including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. She has taken her research direct from her teaching at Harvard and is giving it to us in her new book, REVEALING: The Underrated Power of Oversharing. So right there, oversharing. It's easy to look at social media and feel everyone is literally, oversharing. But set that aside, here we are talking about your personal relationships. In your home, at work, with friends and family. In these instances, Leslie is finding that we are for the most part, undersharing. We aren't being open and honest with people. Authentic is a popular word these days. So of course her call is for us to share more deeply and honestly. Now are we to do this with everyone, everywhere, all the time? Of course not. But where we care and where it counts, I'll ask you, do you want to connect more deeply? Do you want to feel more resonance with people you care about? This is the show.

Women have been told for years that they need to negotiate more—but what if that isn't the real problem? In this episode, Nicole welcomes negotiation consultant, Harvard research fellow, and founder of Moon Negotiation, Joan Moon, to unpack what the research actually says about women and negotiation. Together, they challenge outdated myths, explore the impact of gender bias at the bargaining table, and share practical strategies that help women advocate for themselves without abandoning who they are. From salary conversations to flexible work arrangements and everyday communication, this conversation reveals that negotiation isn't about becoming more aggressive—it's about becoming more strategic. In This Episode Nicole and Joan Discuss: Why the idea that women are "bad negotiators" is a myth unsupported by research. How gender bias—not lack of skill—often influences negotiation outcomes. Why women excel when negotiating for others but face different expectations when advocating for themselves. The power of the win-win approach and how to frame requests around shared success. How asking better questions leads to stronger negotiation outcomes, and why listening is often a negotiator's greatest advantage. The importance of uncovering the other person's underlying interests instead of making assumptions. How to negotiate non-salary benefits like flexibility, time, and professional support. Practical strategies for performance reviews, raises, and promotion conversations. Common negotiation mistakes women make—and how to avoid them. Together, these insights offer a practical roadmap for approaching negotiation with confidence, clarity, and a win-win mindset. Thank you to our sponsors!

"When something becomes a measurement, it stops becoming a good target." In a world obsessed with digital efficiency and quick fixes, the real currency of a meaningful life remains independent thought, presence, and intentional effort. In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, host Chris Schembra sits down with Nishat Mehta, CEO of Lexitas. A Harvard-trained mathematician and computer scientist turned executive, Nishat breaks down how leaders can navigate rapid change by embracing dialectical thinking—holding two seemingly competing truths at the same time. From balancing bottom-line performance with human empathy to shifting parenting styles as children grow, Nishat shares key insights on Goodhart's Law, confident humility, and finding extraordinary meaning in ordinary moments. 10 Memorable Quotes: "The new normal is that it will just keep changing. It really comes down to the ability to accept the change yourself and then lead the change amongst those around you." — Nishat Mehta "Confident humility balances high confidence in one's ability to figure things out with low ego regarding one's own current knowledge." — Chris Schembra "When something becomes a measurement, it stops becoming a good target." — Nishat Mehta "Always find the extraordinary in the ordinary." — Chris Schembra "Everything is on a spectrum... the edges of the spectrum are rarely the right answer." — Nishat Mehta "Efficiency increases consumption if you're not careful." — Chris Schembra "The journey is far more important than the destination... if we are constantly changing, it's because we are succeeding at the things we needed to do before." — Nishat Mehta "We must step out of the tyranny of the 'or' and into the genius of the 'and'." — Chris Schembra "Great work is something you're supposed to do, but recognizing what might seem ordinary is worthy of extraordinary gratitude." — Nishat Mehta "Gratitude doesn't change your circumstances; it changes your capacity to carry them." — Chris Schembra 10 Key Takeaways: Practicing Confident Humility: Balancing low ego regarding current knowledge with high confidence in a team's adaptability to solve complex, unfamiliar problems. Overcoming Goodhart's Law: Why single metrics distort business outcomes, and how pairing competing targets (like quantity vs. quality) maintains operational integrity. The "Genius of the 'And'": Replacing rigid "either/or" tradeoffs with dialectical thinking that unites radical acceptance with proactive change. Navigating Shifts in Family & Parenting: Transitioning from physical, hands-on care for young children to emotional, social mentorship as they grow into independence. Understanding Jevons Paradox in Modern Work: Recognizing how efficiency gains from AI can be swallowed by routine busyness unless leaders intentionally safeguard time for human connection. Harnessing "Collective Effervescence": Leveraging physical experiences, shared sports, and community gatherings to foster genuine human harmony and connection. Lowering Barriers to Access Justice: Applying technology and low-level AI guidance to make legal support more affordable, equitable, and fair. Change Management as a Core Leadership Skill: Shifting focus from day-to-day tactical execution toward building organizational consensus and motivating teams through continuous evolution. Finding Extraordinary Meaning in Ordinary Moments: Cultivating daily awareness to appreciate quiet family routines and ordinary acts of care that are often taken for granted. Embracing the Business Journey Over Destinations: Accepting that strategic goals evolve naturally as progress is made, making the growth process the ultimate measure of success. About our Guest: Nishat Mehta is the Chief Executive Officer of Lexitas, a leading national provider of technology-enabled litigation services and an Apax portfolio company based in Houston, Texas. He stepped into the CEO seat on January 1, 2025, having originally joined the company as President and Chief Operating Officer in March 2024. Under his leadership, Lexitas is launching AI-enabled deposition analysis, expanding its eLaw case-tracking platform, and continuing to serve law firms, insurance companies, and corporations across all 50 states. Nishat brings more than two decades of leadership across data, analytics, and enterprise technology. He most recently served as President of Global Products and Solutions and Chief Product Officer at Circana (formed from the merger of IRI and The NPD Group), where he ran the firm's global media, analytics, e-commerce, software, and consulting divisions. Prior to Circana, he led the customer communications team at 84.51° (Kroger's data-science and personalization arm), directed strategic partnerships at dunnhumby, and spent 15 years at MicroStrategy. He also serves on the Board of Directors of The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP) and on the Board of Advisors of Adelaide Metrics. Nishat holds a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and a Master's degree in Computer Science, both from Harvard University. He lives in New York with his wife, Shalini, and their three children. His guiding quote, from John Wooden: ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

Wall Street treats demand like a line on a chart. Rob Snyder says that's exactly why investors keep getting burned. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren talks with Rob Snyder — Harvard Innovation Labs fellow, serial startup founder, and author of The Power of Pull — about why customers almost never buy things because they were convinced to, what that means for how you evaluate a publicly traded company's growth story, and how the AI boom is exposing which software businesses have genuine demand and which ones are papering it over with an ever-growing sales and marketing budget. He also shares the one financial metric he trusts above all others — and the surprisingly mundane AI use cases he's most excited about.

The Nazca Mummies may be real, but not extraterrestrial. Steve Aspin and Dr. Andreas Lück challenge decades of UFO assumptions, arguing the mysterious Peruvian bodies could be terrestrial biological organisms and that so-called alien-human hybrids may actually be genetically engineered humans. A provocative, science-driven journey into one of ufology's greatest mysteries. GUEST: Steve Aspin spent more than 35 years working in surgery and medical diagnostics before turning his investigative skills toward the UFO and abduction mystery. Author of Out of Time and co-author of Investigating the Impossible, Aspin explores the possibility that the phenomenon may involve genetics, family bloodlines, and realities far stranger than extraterrestrial visitation. GUEST: Dr. Andreas Lück is a molecular biologist, geneticist, and former Professor of Medical Biochemistry, Genetics and Cell Biology. With research experience at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital, he brings rigorous scientific analysis to some of the most controversial questions in ufology, applying genetics, DNA analysis, and cellular biology to the impossible.

(The full Dish returns on September 4. In the meantime, we are re-airing a handful of the most downloaded episodes from the early years of the Dishcast.)The academic career of Cornel West is long and storied. He has taught religion, philosophy, and African-American studies at Yale, Princeton, Harvard, and Union Theological Seminary. He has written or contributed to more than 20 books, including Race Matters and Democracy Matters — but he recommends you start with Chekhov.I met Cornel decades ago, when I interviewed him at Union Theological Seminary for a TNR piece I was writing on divinity schools. He has long fascinated me, and Race Matters had a real impact on me decades ago. Erudite, passionate, and deeply humane, he is an unapologetically leftist Christian who is also a champion of free speech, civility, and the classics. In other words: a rare and beautiful man.A key theme of the Dishcast is a willingness to talk to anyone across the political and ideological spectrum. We thought it would be cool if we re-aired this episode alongside that with Charles Murray, a philosophical opposite, but also a deeply decent man.Go here for a polished transcript of Cornel. We also have two clips on YouTube: on how he finds common ground with bigots and racists, and his take on CRT and the 1619 Project. This is a public episode.

The signal is not, and it is the same move Scott Bessent spent the last two years criticizing Janet Yellen for making.Chapters 00:00 – Opening segment 02:20 – No end in sight and why nobody negotiates with America anymore 06:35 – Reading the macro tape without becoming a permabear 07:55 – The Treasury doubles its long end buybacks 09:15 – The economic equivalent of no new foreign wars 11:50 – Where Hans actually sits on the political spectrum13:10 – Two billion to four billion: the substance of the move 14:05 – Bills, notes, and bonds, and why the distinction matters here 16:35 – Off-the-run long bonds and a disorderly long end 17:35 – What they are buying and what is paying for it 19:00 – One leg of QE, not the money printing leg 20:15 – Yellen's trillion dollar mistake and the two percent mortgage analogy 22:40 – Bessent criticized this exact move, then made it 23:55 – Yield curve control and how far away it actually is 24:25 – Intervening into a record high market with no visible fever 26:00 – The debasement trade and the stock market as pressure release valve 28:30 – The yen intervention and why Japan matters 29:15 – The repo facility and keeping Treasuries out of foreign hands 32:20 – What all three moves have in common 33:30 – Hormuz closed, oil creeping, and an empty petroleum reserve 36:45 – Japan as the roadmap for where this road ends 37:50 – Homeschooling, wristbands, and the safe and inclusive playground 43:35 – Frederick Barber Campbell walks into Chase National Bank 46:05 – The lawsuit, the indictment, and the demurrer 49:50 – When a dollar was a bearer claim on gold 51:55 – Benjamin Strong, the Bank of England, and the boom that had to bust 53:10 – How the Fed was sold to America in 1913 55:50 – Nine thousand banks fail and the money supply drops a third 58:50 – The Fed as an instrument of extraction 01:00:35 – Where America sits in the line, and the prison hierarchy analogy 01:03:50 – Hamilton, specie, and the principle of productive credit 01:06:05 – The bank holiday and the Emergency Banking Act 01:07:45 – Five words added to the Trading with the Enemy Act 01:10:20 – Executive Order 6102 defines hoarding as owning 01:16:20 – The markup from twenty dollars to thirty-five 01:17:35 – The Gold Reserve Act and the Exchange Stabilization Fund 01:18:35 – Marriner Eccles and the fight over the lever of power 01:21:25 – Carter Glass fights the bill he made possible 01:22:30 – The FOMC is created and open market operations take over 01:24:45 – Killing the regional discount rate and the governor it provided 01:27:30 – Half a Keynesian equation with no brakes on the other sideKey TakeawaysThe size of the buyback is not the story. Doubling from two billion to four billion per operation is meaningless against forty trillion in debt. What matters is that the Treasury told the market, in a public press release, that it will step in and buy the long end when demand thins out.

In her new book, “The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State,” Harvard historian and New Yorker writer Jill Lepore issues a warning that in our desire for more efficient, data-driven governance we're falling into “the rule of humans by machines manufactured by corporations.” Her book is an alarming call to action and, she writes, an “inquiry into what humans mean and intend in abandoning constitutional democracy, the liberal nation-state and even humanity itself for rule by automation, government by machine and replacement by artificial intelligence.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Care More Be Better: Social Impact, Sustainability + Regeneration Now
For decades, large corporations have privatized their massive profits while quietly shifting environmental, social, and health costs onto the public. Unpacking these systemic costs is central to the discussion in The Profiteers, which diagnoses how business practices impact society at large. In this episode, host Corinna Bellizzi speaks with Christopher Marquis, Professor of Chinese Management at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School and author of Better Business, to analyze the hidden mechanics of corporate externalities. From plastics lobbying and regulatory co-optation to visionary models of regenerative agriculture and foundation ownership, they explore why exposing systemic corporate abuse is the first crucial step toward real reform. Discover how innovative enterprise models, policy levers, and conscious consumer choices can help build a truly sustainable and regenerative economy. About Guest: Professor Marquis' research and teaching focus on how some of the biggest crises of our day – including climate change, inequality, and discrimination – are intimately connected to how our current economic and societal systems prioritize accumulating and concentrating wealth for the few over the concerns and needs of everyone and everything else. His research and writing focus on the need to rebalance the interactions between corporations, governments, and civil society to deliver socially and environmentally beneficial outcomes to all. Marquis is the author of The Profiteers: How Business Privatizes Profits and Socialize Costs. His earlier books include the award-winning Better Business: How the B Corp Movement is Remaking Capitalism and Mao and Markets: The Communist Roots of Chinese Enterprise, which was a Financial Times Best Book of 2022. He has also authored more than 20 peer-reviewed academic articles and more than 50 Harvard business cases on topics related to social innovation, sustainable business and doing business in China. Professor Marquis served 2 terms as an Associate Editor at Administrative Science Quarterly and has also been a Senior Editor at Organization Science and Management and Organization Review. He has also served a term as Representative at Large for the International Association for Chinese Management Research (IACMR) and Organization and Management Theory Division, Academy of Management. Before returning to academia, Marquis was a Vice President and Technology Manager at JP Morgan Chase. He currently is on the sustainability advisory board of the French multinational Sanofi Consumer Healthcare.

What if the way you measure success is actually what's burning you out? Erika Coleman thought she had it figured out. Give your best, maybe a little more, and things work out. It worked for years, until it didn't. In 2022, her mom was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. And for the next 14 months, she watched her business sales and her mom's health drop in tandem. She gave more and more and more, following every rule, checking every box. But the results didn't go up. They went down. Her mom passed away. Two months later, she had to close her business. And then her body finally shut down. She was too tired to smile at her daughter's drawing. That's when she knew something had to change.Erika Coleman is a high-performance researcher, speaker, and founder of the Even Achieving method. After earning her master's degree from Harvard studying stress, well-being, and performance, she discovered what most of us get wrong about pacing. It's not about slowing down. It's not about protecting your energy. Pacing is an athletic endeavor. It's how you win your race without killing yourself in the process.In this episode, we cover:Why giving your all doesn't mean you're giving your best, and how to tell the differenceThe hidden cost of using effort to prove you care (and what to measure instead)How grief and business demand collide, and why pushing harder makes both worseWhat happens when your body finally shuts down after months of overrideThe small moments that matter most when you're chasing big, Instagram-worthy memoriesHow to pace yourself like an athlete, not a martyrWhy high performance requires rest, not more hustleThis episode is for you if:You've been giving everything you have and the results still aren't what you expectedYou're carrying grief, caregiving, or health challenges while trying to keep your business afloatYou use busyness to prove you care, and you're burnout and exhaustedYou've hit a point where your body won't let you push anymoreYou want to learn how to give your best without giving your allConnect with Erika Coleman: https://www.erikacolemanspeaks.com
Why do so many organizational change efforts fail—and what can leaders do differently? In this episode, Sal Silvester sits down with Harvard-trained behavioral scientist and author Julia Dhar, co-author of How Change Really Works, to explore the human side of organizational transformation. They unpack why executives and employees can experience the exact same change so differently, the hidden “change distance” that often develops between leaders and their teams, and why companies study their external customers far more carefully than the employees expected to carry change forward. Julia also shares what fighter-jet cockpits can teach us about employee resistance, why the environment may be failing the people—not the other way around—and whether people truly resist change or simply resist the way they're being asked to change. A practical, science-backed conversation for leaders navigating transformation in an age of constant change and AI.
Jim Kwik on Memory, AI, and Why Natural Intelligence Beats Artificial Intelligence Your brain is quietly outsourcing itself to AI, and you won't notice until it's gone. This episode gives you the exact framework to use artificial intelligence as a tool for brain optimization instead of a crutch that erodes your memory, focus, and critical thinking. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Jim Kwik, one of the world's leading experts in memory improvement, brain optimization, and accelerated learning. For more than 30 years, Jim has served as the brain coach to professional athletes, political leaders, business magnates, and Hollywood icons, with corporate clients including Google, Nike, SpaceX, and Harvard. He hosts the Kwik Brain podcast with over 100 million downloads, reaches 200,000 people annually through live keynotes, and just wrapped his 14th annual Beyond Biohacking Conference with 5,000 attendees in Austin. Jim overcame a childhood brain injury that left him labeled "learning disabled," and turned that struggle into a mission he calls "no brain left behind." They break down the MIT study showing that people who use AI to write and think score worse on memory and comprehension than those who rely on their own brains, and why that matters for anyone serious about longevity, human performance, and anti-aging. Jim introduces the concept of digital dementia and cognitive sovereignty, explaining how nootropics, neuroplasticity, and functional medicine can support your biology while AI still requires you to keep your own hardware sharp. They cover the MEDS Rx framework for brain optimization: meditation, exercise, diet, sleep optimization, and relationships, plus why mitochondria, metabolism, and inflammation from processed food directly impact your cognitive output. Jim also shares how his own kids use AI as a tutor rather than a replacement for thinking, and why sleep inertia and the first few minutes after waking set the tone for your entire day. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, hacking their own brain, longevity, neuroplasticity, brain optimization, supplements, and building a Smarter Not Harder approach to human performance in the age of AI. You'll Learn: Why the MIT study found AI users had weaker memory and comprehension than people who did the work themselves What digital dementia and digital deduction are, and how they quietly erode your cognitive muscles How to use AI as an augmented intelligence partner instead of a replacement for critical thinking The MEDS Rx framework for brain optimization: meditation, exercise, diet, sleep, and relationships Why the first few minutes after waking determine your focus and mood for the entire day How spaced repetition and AI-assisted learning can lock in new skills and behavior change faster The HUMAN framework for staying irreplaceable in a world run by algorithms Thank you to our sponsors! - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - Neuronic | Go to www.neuronic.online Code DAVE for $100 off - Our Place | Upgrade your kitchen with Our Place today.

In this episode, Dr. Scott Watier breaks down new research from Harvard fasting researcher Dr. Courtney Peterson, unpacking her provocative claim that dinner — not breakfast — may be the most important meal of the day. He explains how an eight-hour eating window alone, with no tracking or dietary changes, produces a 4-7% loss of body weight over 6-12 months, and how a six-hour early eating window lowered blood pressure by 10-12 points and improved insulin sensitivity independent of weight loss. Scott dismantles the myth that a 16-18 hour fast triggers meaningful ketosis or fat-burning, explaining that the metabolic shift doesn't really kick in until the 36-72 hour range, while reassuring listeners that muscle loss isn't a concern with proper protein pacing. He also compares GLP-1 medications to lifestyle habits using new data from 98,000 veterans, showing that combining both cuts cardiovascular risk by 43%, versus 16% for medication alone and 60% for lifestyle changes alone. The episode closes with a simple homework assignment: finish eating at least three hours before bed and shift your eating window earlier in the day to work with, not against, your body's natural blood sugar and hunger-hormone rhythms.

This week we staged an intervention for Scott Bessent—the failed hedge fund manager who lost 90% of his assets during the greatest bull run in history and is now the most interventionist Treasury Secretary in decades, scoring own goals in the bond market, undermining the new Fed chair, and threatening Iran with sanctions while refusing to answer a single question about China. Then we checked in on the Trump family stablecoin, which has quietly doubled in market cap. It’s a reminder that the most corrupt president in American history is building the most powerful personal wealth machine in the world, and Congress is about to hand him the legislation to run it.

Daily Boost Podcast What You Don't Know About Goal Setting August 25, 2026 | Episode 5527 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Yesterday I told you I wasn't going to teach goal setting. Today I'm going to teach you how to set goals. Sort of. Most of what you were handed about goals has quietly fallen apart. The 21-day habit. The Harvard study everybody quotes. Smart goals. Gone. Disproven. And yet you're still sitting there in August wondering why the thing you decided in January never happened. Two words fix most of it, and one measurement that explains why you quit. Ten minutes, and you'll never look at your goal list the same way. Featured Story I mentioned to my wife the other day that I'm in the mood to get a Tesla. Just shopping around. Looking. She got quiet. Then a little scared. Because after all these years, she knows exactly what that sentence means in my house. She knows my brain already flagged it. She knows the velocity has started. And she knows that if I keep drifting in that direction, week after week, there will eventually be a Tesla in the driveway and nobody will remember deciding on it. That's not a car story. That's the whole mechanism of how you get anything, running right out in the open. Important Points Start your morning retrospectively. Not what you did yesterday, but what really happened and how it honestly felt. Then go prospectively. Ask what you'll create today to close the gap you just found, and only three goals max. Velocity keeps motivation alive, so chop any goal more than six months out into segments you can actually feel finishing. Memorable Quotes Velocity is the key. It's more important how fast you're getting to your goal than if you're getting to your goal. The daily awareness diary will hold you to your honesty forever. It exposes what you said you want and what you're doing. Remember the Harvard study where people who set goals are 93% more effective—never done, ever. It's a wives' tale. Scott's Three-Step Approach Tomorrow morning, ask retrospectively how yesterday actually went, and be honest about whether it matched your want. Then ask prospectively what you'll create today, and write down the single adjustment that closes that gap for you. Now break your big goal into velocity segments close enough together that you feel you're finishing one each week.

What can mushrooms teach us about becoming better humans? How can doula work, in the literal and metaphorical senses, help us navigate the uncertainty of the near future? These are just two of the compelling questions we're exploring today alongside Madison Murphy Barney. Madison is a Two Spirit Shoshone sister, a doula, author, and a public-health storyteller. She holds a master's degree from Harvard's T. H. Chan School of Public Health and has become a sought-after voice, using storytelling as a tool for building more just and connected communities. In her new book, Our Ancestors Want Us to Be Mushrooms, Madison makes the case that mushrooms – and the vast, unseen networks beneath them – have much to teach us about how to live. Themes like humility, adaptability, nourishment, creativity, protection, and even mystery become guides for rethinking how we relate to ourselves, to each other, and to the planet.In this conversation, Monica and Madison talk about mushrooms, ancestral wisdom, the power of embracing your weird, and what the natural world is trying to teach us about how to live together.

The newly released Epstein records have put Harvard professor Martin Nowak back under intense scrutiny, not simply because of a bizarre 2014 email exchange about a “captured spy” and “torture,” but because the correspondence sits inside a much larger and more troubling relationship between Epstein, Nowak and Harvard. Nowak said the “spy” reference came from the computer game Civilization II and insisted that nobody had actually been captured or tortured, while saying he did not know what prompted Epstein's response. There is no allegation that Nowak committed a crime, but Harvard placed him on administrative leave in February 2026 after millions of Epstein-related records were released, and the university has yet to publicly resolve the formal inquiry into his conduct. The deeper issue was Epstein's extraordinary access to Nowak's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, where Epstein maintained an office, cultivated relationships with scientists and even privately described the operation as his institute at Harvard. Harvard had already shut the program down in 2021 before restoring some of Nowak's research and advising privileges in 2023, only for the newest records to reopen questions about just how intertwined Epstein had remained with the university long after his 2008 conviction.The documents also showed that Epstein's relationship with Harvard was useful to him for reasons that went far beyond an interest in science. Epstein spent years using his connections to prestigious academics and institutions to rehabilitate his reputation, particularly as damaging information about his criminal conduct increasingly dominated internet searches for his name. His own websites prominently advertised his support for Nowak's program, claiming Epstein had provided as much as $30 million, while Harvard has said the actual figure was approximately $6.5 million. More revealingly, Epstein's publicist explicitly asked Nowak's laboratory in 2014 to create a page about Epstein on Harvard's website because having his name attached to a Harvard.edu address would improve his Google results, and Nowak agreed. The newer documents also suggested Harvard's previous internal examination of Epstein's ties to the university was incomplete, including evidence indicating Epstein may have visited campus later than Harvard had previously disclosed. What emerged was therefore bigger than one strange email: Epstein had successfully turned Harvard's prestige, its professors and its scientific programs into valuable pieces of his post-conviction reputation-management operation, and years later the university was still being forced to account for how extensively he had been allowed to do it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Harvard Still Employs Professor Whose Emails with Epstein Mentioned Spies And Torture

You've probably heard the Harvard 1953 study about written goals. I went looking for it and couldn't find it — but there is a real one, out of Dominican University, and its finding is better than the myth. People who wrote their goals down, wrote their action commitments, and reported to an accountability partner achieved 77% more than people who only thought about their goals.

Olivia Fox Cabane: The Charisma Myth Olivia Fox Cabane is one of the world's leading authorities on the science of charisma and the bestselling author of The Charisma Myth, which has been translated into 27 languages. Previously Director of Innovative Leadership for Stanford StartX, Olivia has lectured on charisma, leadership, and innovation at Harvard, Yale, MIT, the Marine War College and the United Nations. She has been featured in The New York Times, The Economist, and The Wall Street Journal and has recently released the revised version of The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism (Amazon, Bookshop)*. Charisma. We all notice leaders who've got it. Many of us wish we had more of it. Good news though – like so many leadership skills we talk about on this podcast, you can get better at it. In this conversation, Olivia and I explore how almost anyone can improve their charisma. Key Points Charisma is a skill that you can learn and practice. While some people have natural strengths for charisma more so than others, people are not simply born charismatic. Many just start young. You don't have to be naturally outgoing. You can be a very charismatic introvert. Presence + Power + Warmth = Charisma Power is the “Can you move mountains for me?” question. Warmth is the “Would you want to move them for me?” question. Presence is the “Are you aware of which mountains I need moved?” question. A small amount of improvement can make a big difference on how you are perceived. Three quick tips to improve your charisma: Lower the intonation of your voice at the end of your sentences. Reduce how quickly and how often you nod. Pause for two full seconds before you speak.

Episode Description:This is a From the Archive episode with Arianna Huffington.Arianna Huffington returns to the show for a conversation about sleep, success, reinvention, and the cultural delusion that burnout is the price of achievement.James begins by asking practical sleep questions: Is nine hours too much? Can sleep be split into two four-hour blocks? Arianna explains that for most people, seven to nine hours is the real range, and that sleep should leave a person fully recharged, not limping through the day waiting for a second shift of rest.From there, James rewinds to Arianna's career. Before The Huffington Post, before Thrive Global, before The Sleep Revolution, Arianna had already spent decades writing, appearing on television, entering politics, changing positions, and reinventing herself. She credits her mother with giving her the belief that failure was not the opposite of success, but a stepping stone toward it.One of the central stories is Arianna's second book being rejected by 36 publishers. Out of money and unsure whether she should remain a writer, she walked into a bank in London and asked for a loan. The manager gave it to her. That small act kept her on the path.James and Arianna then talk about The Huffington Post: its rough launch, brutal early reviews, the team behind it, the importance of creating a platform, and the thrill of giving unknown people a chance to be heard. Arianna tells one of her favorite stories about a homeless teenager whose writing on HuffPost helped lead to Harvard discovering him.The conversation then turns to the 2007 collapse that changed Arianna's relationship with sleep. Arianna says the problem was not just personal overwork. It was a collective belief that sleep deprivation is required for success. But James pushes her on the personal side too, and Arianna acknowledges perfectionism: building a company, raising daughters, trying to be a perfect mother, and working through the night after college-tour days with her daughter.Arianna's answer is not a rigid sleep doctrine. It is a series of small steps. Build a transition. Remove devices from the bedroom. Lower the lights. Take a bath or shower. Read a physical book. Use gratitude as the closing scene of the day. If you wake up at 3 a.m., meditate instead of spiraling.The episode closes with joy. For Arianna, sleep is not only about health and productivity. It is about being present enough to experience life while it is happening.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode. References to Arianna's role at The Huffington Post, HuffPost's size and global expansion, her contract, sleep resources, and digital products reflect the original recording period.This episode discusses sleep, medication, insomnia, health, and wellbeing.

This week we're revisiting an episode from last year with Harvard historian and sociologist Dr. Rebecca Lemov, author of The Instability of Truth: Brainwashing, Mind Control, and Hyper-Persuasion.What if you could be persuaded to confess to a crime you didn't commit—or believe that an identity was manufactured for you? Dr. Lemov explores how the manipulation of belief has shaped modern society from Cold War psychology to today's social media. Mayim and Jonathan discuss the case of Leonard Kyle, who claimed the government implanted devices in his brain… and turns out, it was true! They deep dive into the psychological transformation of Patty Hearst and why her brainwashing defense was rejected and how government experiments like MK-Ultra still influence policy today.Plus, understand the rise of hyper-persuasion in the digital age and how social media can manipulate your emotions by harvesting your trauma using targeted algorithms. Learn how to spot the signs of mind control in abusive relationships and why false confessions are more common than you'd think.Whether you're a fan of cults, psychology, digital ethics or government conspiracy theories, this episode is a mind-bending journey into how belief, identity, and freedom have been transformed in ways we barely recognize.Go to https://helixsleep.com/breakdown to receive up to 30% off your Helix mattress.Visit https://drinkag1.com/BREAKDOWN and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order.Get your annual IANDS Conference tickets at https://conference.iands.org.Go to https://tidd.ly/4uVltMe and use the code MAYIM50 to get $50 off your Elastique order.Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialikSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
