1963 changed the course of U.S. history. It included the assassinations of civil rights leader Medgar Evers and President John F. Kennedy. 1963 was also the year of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Martin Luther King gave his famous “I have a dream” speech that day. Future congressman John Lewis also spoke. This hour, we’re breaking down a pivotal year in the civil rights movement with Peniel E. Joseph. GUEST: Peniel E. Joseph: Professor of History; Barbara Jordan Chair in Ethics and Political Values and Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.

As AI, automation, and immersive tech accelerate disruption, the future of work is being reshaped faster than most institutions can adapt. Entry-level roles for recent graduates are shrinking, traditional degrees are being questioned, and lifelong careers are being replaced by continuous reinvention. In this climate, the most valuable assets are no longer technical certifications alone, but durable human skills like adaptability, communication, and critical thinking. Models like the Career Game Loop offer a way forward, helping individuals build skill resilience through iterative, human-centered growth.What role should human skills play in an AI-powered workforce, and how can workers future-proof themselves without relying solely on degrees?In this final episode of a three-part DisruptED series, host Ron Stefanski once again engages with Jessica Lindl, Vice President of Ecosystem Growth at Unity. Together, they explore how the Career Game Loop model can prepare workers for a world of accelerating change. The conversation spans the limits of traditional education, the rise of learning-while-earning, and why networks—especially weak ties—are more powerful than a perfect resume. Lindl brings perspective shaped by her book, The Career Game Loop: Learn to Earn in the New Economy, which explores how game-based thinking supports lifelong learning and career adaptability.Key Highlights from the Conversation:Durable Skills as a Strategic Advantage: Lindl emphasizes that skills like collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking compound over time and are more valuable than ever in an AI-influenced economy.Beyond Degrees: From trades to tech, Jessica shares why aligning learning paths with market demand and real-world experience is critical for career growth.The Power of Weak Ties: One in 12 informational interviews leads to a job offer, compared to just one in 200 resumes. Lindl explains why relationship-building is a game-changing strategy.Jessica Lindl is Vice President of Ecosystem Growth at Unity, where she drives global career access through digital learning, gaming, and scalable workforce programs. A longtime edtech leader, she has launched high-impact initiatives spanning social impact, ESG, and sustainability, generating double-digit growth and reaching millions of learners. Her career includes executive roles across gaming and education companies, where she built platforms that blend immersive technology with skill development to power the future of work.

Today's workforce is facing profound disruption, driven by automation, AI, and shrinking entry-level job opportunities. According to SignalFire's 2025 State of Talent report, entry-level hiring in tech has dropped by 50% from pre-pandemic levels. In this shifting landscape, younger workers aren't just seeking jobs—they're demanding agency, feedback, and purpose. Game-based learning models like the Career Game Loop are gaining traction because they mirror the real-world dynamics of growth: nonlinear learning, experimentation, and persistence through challenges.How can video game design principles help the next generation navigate an unstable job market and reshape the way we build skills, solve problems, and stay engaged?In this second installment of the DisruptED series, host Ron Stefanski welcomes back Jessica Lindl, Vice President of Ecosystem Growth at Unity, to unpack how game design is redefining career development. From agency and failure-as-feedback to peer learning and mission-driven work, Lindl shares how the next generation is building skills and lives with intention, adaptability, and grit.Key Highlights from the Conversation:Game Design as Learning Design: Lindl breaks down how mechanics like choice, exploration, and “failing forward” make game-inspired models more effective than traditional instruction.Gen Z's Purpose-Driven Mindset: Today's young professionals are motivated by social impact, continuous learning, and alignment with personal values, not just promotions.Resilience Through Play: Gaming teaches users to embrace uncertainty, seek mentorship, and keep going—skills now essential in a disrupted economy.Jessica Lindl is Vice President of Ecosystem Growth at Unity Technologies and the bestselling author of The Career Game Loop: Learn to Earn in the New Economy. She brings over two decades of experience leading global initiatives in education, workforce development, and social impact. At Unity, she has spearheaded programs that scale career access through game-based learning and digital upskilling, reaching millions worldwide.

As traditional career paths break down, economic mobility is being redefined by adaptability, not academic credentials. Today, 52% of college graduates are underemployed a year after graduation, working in roles that don't require a four-year degree. Meanwhile, networking strategies like informational interviews yield one job offer per 12 conversations—far more effective than the one-in-200 odds of resume submissions. These realities underscore the need for new workforce models, like the Career Game Loop, which prioritize agility, skill-building, and game-informed strategies to help individuals navigate an evolving labor market.Can gamified career navigation unlock more inclusive access to middle-class jobs—and help close the skills gap faster than legacy education systems?In the first of a three-part DisruptED series, host Ron Stefanski sits down with Jessica Lindl, Vice President of Ecosystem Growth at Unity, to explore how her work—and her bestselling book The Career Game Loop: Learn to Earn in the New Economy—reimagines career development through game design, skill-building, and opportunity alignment.Key Highlights from the Conversation:Gaming as a Learning Engine: Lindl explains how high-quality video games build durable skills like collaboration and problem-solving skills that employers increasingly demand.The Career Game Loop Framework: She introduces a four-step model—Career Quest, Level Up, Job Hunt, Job Craft—that helps individuals adapt to a fast-changing labor market.Unity's Scalable Pathways: Over one million students now use Unity's certification and learning tools annually, bypassing traditional four-year degrees to access entry-level tech jobs.Jessica Lindl is a senior executive and bestselling author with over two decades of leadership in education technology, workforce development, and social impact. At Unity Technologies, she launched and scaled global education and sustainability initiatives, driving double-digit annual growth and expanding access to 21st-century careers for millions. Her career spans leading game-based learning companies, managing multi-million-dollar charitable funds, and pioneering scalable upskilling programs that blend gaming, learning, and social innovation.

Which is the best workout routine for you right now – total body or split routine in menopause? This episode unpacks a recent study by Brad Schoenfeld comparing results from total body or split routine in menopause.  The study did not actually address menopause. But if we know we are capable of making the same relative strength gains as males, then I'm considering this study as still relevant for us to consider in menopause.    How the study was done: Untrained males, no resistance training in the previous 6 months. Exercise consists of 16 sets per muscle group per week per both groups    Total Body Routine Trained each muscle group 4 per week (MTThF)  4 sets each: bench press cable triceps pushdown shoulder press seated row biceps curl squat  leg curl.   Split Routine Session A Mondays & Thursdays 8 sets each: bench press inclined bench press cable triceps pushdown triceps kickback shoulder press  front dumbbell raise.  Session B Tuesdays & Fridays 8 sets each: seated row lat pulldown biceps curl hammer curl squat  Leg curl.  Study Conclusion Training Volume for Strength Strength gains derived from frequency manipulation are driven by the increase in training volume. When constant, increased frequency does not seem to provide additional benefits. However, most studies suggest a resistance training frequency of 3 or fewer days per muscle group per week. A schedule of 4 days per week provides no additional strength gains relative to 2 days per week. Ideal or excessive training volume can be unique to each individual. Time The biggest challenge for most humans is Time. Disrupted or irregular schedules (MTTHF) can happen. Rest & Recovery Ideally 1-2 minutes rest between sets. Recommended 48 hours minimum to recover between use of same muscle groups.  Muscle mass and hypertrophy could be built by either, but fat loss may benefit more from total body routine - based on greater muscle protein stimulus and EPOC.    A Quick Overview on Total Body or Split Routine in Menopause Total Body Workouts Pros: More flexible with schedule. Easier to fit in and stay consistent with—especially helpful if life gets unpredictable. Higher metabolic boost. One study showed 8x more metabolic benefit from total body training than split routines. Efficient muscle protein synthesis. Stimulates multiple muscle groups at once, increasing post-exercise recovery benefits. Better for fat loss. However, recently Brad Schoenfeld showed that as long as volume is equal they can provide the same results.  Cons: Challenging to manage volume. Hard to include enough exercises for each muscle group within one session. Fatigue if overdone. Doing total body workouts too frequently (e.g., 4x/week) without proper rest can backfire. Not always optimal for specialization. Doesn't allow focused work on one muscle group (e.g., building glutes or shoulders).   Split Routine: Pros: Allows for more focused volume per muscle group. Easier to do 2+ exercises per muscle group and more sets—important in post-menopause. Can be energizing per session. Training just the upper or lower body can feel lighter and more focused. Useful for variety and advanced training. Great for incorporating more complex splits and periodization. Cons: Harder to stay consistent. If you miss a day, it's harder to make up and can throw off the weekly balance. Time-dependent. Requires more days per week and more planning—can be a challenge for busy midlife women. May lack full recovery. Without intentional spacing (e.g., Monday/Thursday vs. back-to-back days), results can suffer. Not ideal if energy is low. During menopause, fatigue can make it harder to consistently do split routines.   Total Volume if equal can both produce results in Total Body or Split Routine in Menopause   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Autoimmune Disease in Menopause and Changing Treatment Status Quo Next Episode - Women's Wellness Adventure Travel After 50 More Like This - Cortisol and Exercise in Menopause   Resources:  Get your lean, clean Flipping 50 Protein Powders to maintain muscle and support metabolism.

Higher education is at a turning point. As employers demand more than technical proficiency, schools are being challenged to equip students with durable skills like collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. Traditional classroom models often fall short of this need. This shift has fueled growing interest in mass experiential learning as a way to prepare students for real-world challenges at scale. According to a recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), college graduates who engaged in experiential learning realize multiple early-career benefits, including higher salaries and greater career satisfaction.So, how can institutions deliver transformative, skill-building experiences without sacrificing accessibility, affordability, or academic rigor?Welcome to DisruptEd.

A growing number of colleges are struggling to convert applicants into enrolled students—and to keep them engaged through graduation. With Gen Z students relying heavily on familiar digital platforms like Instagram and Discord for social interaction, traditional college tools for orientation, enrollment, and community-building often miss the mark. According to research, between 10-40% of students who accept offers at four-year institutions fail to show up in the fall—a phenomenon known as “summer melt.” The stakes are high: universities lose millions annually from melted admits, and students lose momentum toward degrees.So, what if the solution to improving student yield, engagement, and retention isn't another third-party platform—but the apps students are already using?On this episode of DisruptED, guest host Darin Francis, CEO of Harbinger Lane, speaks with Jonah Liss, COO and Co-Founder of MeetYourClass, a student engagement platform born out of Instagram class groups. Broadcasting from ASU+GSV, they discuss how this student-first innovation is helping colleges tap into the social habits of digital natives to drive enrollment outcomes.Key moments in the episode…The student-led origin of MeetYourClass: How Jonah and his co-founders evolved a social media hobby into a yield-boosting platform used by 19 universities—with zero marketing spend.Why traditional platforms fail: Students often ditch school-provided roommate finders and portals in favor of social apps they've used since middle school, contributing to disengagement and summer melt.What's next for MeetYourClass: Plans to integrate housing, events, and student life into a CRM-like platform that starts engaging students well before they apply.Jonah Liss is the COO and Co-Founder of MeetYourClass, a higher ed SaaS platform that leverages social media to increase student yield and reduce summer melt in university campuses. He has led the company's growth to over 500,000 users and partnerships with top institutions, earning recognition from Forbes 30 Under 30 and Techstars. With a background in tech, product development, and early-stage entrepreneurship, Liss has also founded a COVID-19 support platform and held roles in investment banking and data science.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the mobility landscape, but concerns about battery safety continue to cloud consumer confidence. Despite media narratives, data confirms that EVs are less likely to catch fire than gasoline-powered vehicles. A study by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency found that EVs are 20 times less likely to ignite than petrol or diesel cars. However, misconceptions persist, slowing public adoption.What does a safer, smarter EV future require, and who will power it?On this episode of DisruptED, host Ron Stefanski sits down with Ron Butler, CEO of ESSPI (Energy Storage Safety Products International). A former Detroit firefighter and public school teacher, Butler shares how his company is building a safer battery ecosystem while also developing the next-generation EV workforce. The conversation explores battery risk realities, the soft skills gap, and how industry collaboration can accelerate progress.Highlights from the episode:EV battery safety is overstated in the media: Real risks occur in storage, manufacturing, and logistics, not during regular vehicle use.Soft skills and tech training are critical: ESSPI focuses on building a labor force prepared for digital-heavy EV platforms, not just mechanics.Collaboration is key to innovation: Butler outlines NET-FIRST(Fuel, Innovation, Research, Safety and Testing), a model for automakers to jointly address safety and innovation challenges in the early product cycle.Ronald Butler is the CEO of ESSPI, where he leads the development of patented fire suppression systems tailored to lithium-ion battery risks in energy storage, transport, and defense applications.
