Join our Book club to discuss this book by becoming a Patreonsupporter at https://www.patreon.com/AcrosstheDivide Rev. Yohanna Katanacho joins us to discuss his book,"Reading the Gospel of John through Palestinian Eyes". He unpacks the new world order that Jesus establishes in the Gospel of John and the relationship of these teachings to 1st century Judaism. They discuss the exclusivity of Christian Zionism and what reading John's gospel through Palestinian eyes must teach us about an inclusive kingdom that replaces hate with love and justice. Rev. Dr. Yohanna Katanacho is a Palestinian Evangelical Christian currently serving as the Academic Dean of Nazareth Evangelical College. He also recently translated the Greek New Testament into Colloquial Galilean Arabic. He is the author of "Reading the Gospel of John through Palestinian Eyes" and "Unlocking the Old Testament: Christ is the Culmination of the Law."

Iris is back, and apparently we chose peace by discussing democratic socialism, Zionism, the war involving Iran, Israel and Palestine, Republican unity, Democratic dysfunction, and growing trans fatigue on the left. So, naturally, a very relaxing episode.We dig into the Democratic Socialists of America, what democratic socialism means in practice, and the controversy surrounding Michigan Representative Haley Stevens. We also examine why Republicans remain so effective at closing ranks and advancing their agenda, even when that agenda is cruel, incoherent or wildly unpopular, while Democrats continue treating internal disagreement like an Olympic event.Then we enter far more difficult territory: Zionism, Israel, Palestine and the broader conflict in the Middle East. We condemn the dehumanization and destruction of Palestinian civilians while also confronting the violence, extremism and political failures that make honest discussion of Israel and Palestine nearly impossible. There are no spotless institutions or easy heroes here.Finally, we discuss “trans fatigue” on the political left. Not fatigue with transgender people or trans rights, but frustration created by a specific, highly visible subset of online activists whose rhetoric, purity tests and refusal to tolerate disagreement can alienate potential allies. Republicans have weaponized that tension with brutal effectiveness, while Democrats remain seemingly incapable of defending trans people without either surrendering the conversation or pretending no internal problems exist.In this episode:• Democratic Socialists and the DSA• Haley Stevens and divisions within the Democratic Party• Why Republicans are better at party unity• Democratic infighting and ideological purity tests• Zionism, Israel, Palestine and civilian suffering• The war involving Iran and the danger of further escalation• Republican cruelty, propaganda and political discipline• Trans rights, online activism and “trans fatigue” on the left• Why difficult conversations are necessary, even when everyone becomes furiousContent note: This episode includes frank discussion of war, civilian deaths, antisemitism, Islamophobia, Zionism, trans politics and political extremism.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

Transcript:It: Il sole splendeva alto nel cielo sopra il vigneto toscano.En: The sun shone high in the sky over the Tuscan vineyard.It: Le colline si estendevano in lontananza, un mare di verde e ombra.En: The hills stretched into the distance, a sea of green and shadow.It: Luca era lì, con la sua famiglia, per il ritrovo annuale.En: Luca was there with his family for the annual gathering.It: Cercava pace, ma sentiva già la tensione nell'aria.En: He sought peace, but he already felt the tension in the air.It: La grande casa colonica con il suo tetto di terracotta sembrava promettere riposo, ma per Luca era solo un campo di battaglia.En: The large farmhouse with its terracotta roof seemed to promise rest, but for Luca it was just a battlefield.It: Marco, suo fratello, sembrava a casa tra le vigne.En: Marco, his brother, seemed at home among the vines.It: Era rimasto a gestire l'azienda di famiglia, mentre Luca era fuggito a Firenze, in cerca di libertà.En: He had stayed to manage the family business, while Luca had fled to Florence, in search of freedom.It: I risentimenti tra i fratelli erano vecchi come le botti di vino nella cantina.En: The resentments between the

was time to confront Marco.It: "Marco, facciamo una passeggiata," propose, senza mostrare la tensione nella voce.En: "Marco, let's take a walk," he suggested, not showing the tension in his voice.It: Marco annuì, indovinando i pensieri del fratello.En: Marco nodded, guessing his brother's thoughts.It: Uscirono insieme nel vigneto, il sole caldo sulle spalle.En: They went out together into the vineyard, the warm sun on their shoulders.It: Camminavano in silenzio tra i filari, le foglie frusciavano al vento.En: They walked in silence among the rows, the leaves rustling in the wind.It: Finalmente, Luca parlò.En: Finally, Luca spoke.It: "Non possiamo continuare così," disse, la voce tesa.En: "We can't keep going like this," he said, his voice tense.It: "Dobbiamo parlare di tutto questo."En: "We need to talk about all of this."It: Marco si fermò.En: Marco stopped.It: "Credi che sia facile?"En: "Do you think it's easy?"It: replicò.En: he replied.It: "Tu sei andato via.En: "You left.It: Io sono rimasto.En: I stayed.It: È stato difficile, Luca."En: It was hard, Luca."It: Le vecchie ferite si riaprirono.En: The old wounds reopened.It: Entrambi sentivano la rabbia montare.En:

In this episode of Tea with GaryVee, I take questions live from viewers and talk about why the more separated you are in a family business, the more together you'll be. I share why the audience (not you) gets to decide what's average, and why paying somebody to work for you is a better education than a college diploma. I also discuss why the free content in a paid-content model has to actually be free, and my secret bigger mission to reframe alpha male success around kindness and empathy.You'll learn about:• Divide and Conquer in Family Business• Who Really Decides What's Average• Paying to Learn by Hiring• Why Free Content Must Be Free• Reframing Alpha Male Success
Las fronteras que vemos en cualquier mapa parecen que siempre han estado ahí que son naturales, pero no es así. Existen fronteras naturales, por supuesto, suelen coincidir con ríos lo suficientemente anchos o cordilleras suficientemente altas. Ese es el caso de los Pirineos, donde la frontera natural y la política coinciden. Pero incluso ahí caben excepciones como los valles de Arán y Valcarlos. España, de cualquier modo, es mal ejemplo para entender la frontera moderna porque las suyas son antiguas y casi todas se fueron haciendo poco a poco y desde abajo. Durante la mayor parte de la historia las fronteras no eran líneas, sino zonas de transición muy porosas y con contornos difíciles de definir. La idea de que un país acaba en una línea bien definida empezó con la Paz de Westfalia de 1648 y culminó en el siglo XIX con los tratados de límites. A partir de aquí la mayor parte de las fronteras del mundo no surgieron de la geografía sino de una mesa de negociación. Un mapa político es por lo general una construcción que nos habla de intereses concretos de personas concretas. El acuerdo Sykes-Picot de 1916 repartió el moribundo Imperio otomano entre Francia y el Reino Unido mediante una serie de líneas recta trazada sobre un desierto que apenas conocían. Los británicos hicieron además tres promesas contradictorias sobre el mismo suelo. De aquel reparto nacieron Irak, Siria, el Líbano y Jordania, Estados artificiales en los que metieron a la fuerza a sunitas, chiíes, kurdos, cristianos y alauíes bajo las mismas bandera. Los kurdos, hoy 40 millones de personas, se quedaron sin Estado y están repartidos entre cuatro países. La Conferencia de Berlín de 1884 estableció las reglas para que los europeos se repartiesen África sin contar con los africanos, naturalmente. El principio de ocupación efectiva disparó la carrera por plantar banderas. El 30% de las fronteras africanas son líneas rectas perfectas que parten pueblos como los somalíes, los bakongo o los yoruba, o encierran a tribus muy distintas y que se llevan mal desde siempre. La descolonización del siglo pasado heredó íntegras aquellas fronteras y también los problemas derivados de ellas. En 1947 los británicos encargaron a Cyril Radcliffe, un jurista que nunca había pisado la India, dividir el Raj, un subcontinente de 400 millones de habitantes en solo cinco semanas. Su línea separó regiones enteras y provocó entre 12 y 18 millones de desplazados, amén de cientos de miles de muertos. De aquello saldría la guerra de Bangladés en 1971 y la disputa de Cachemira, que desde entonces enfrenta a indios y pakistaníes. El colapso de la Unión Soviética en 1991 convirtió en fronteras internacionales unas líneas administrativas trazadas básicamente por Stalin para dividir y controlar a las minorías. Valles como el de Ferganá en el centro de Asia fueron troceados, el Alto Karabaj, poblado por armenios, se metió en en Azerbaiyán, Crimea y el Donbás pasaron a Ucrania. De ahí nacieron los conflictos congelados que hoy siguen activos desde Transnistria hasta la guerra de Ucrania. La historia se repite una y otra vez. Trazar una frontera es un acto de poder cuyas consecuencias duran generaciones. El mapa no es el territorio, y no necesariamente es la gente que lo habita.

Summer can be a great time to prepare for the GMAT...but only if you have a plan! In the first installment of our summer GMAT study series, GMAC Zach is joined by Hailey Cusimano, Director of Tutoring at Menlo Coaching, to discuss how candidates can build a study timeline that is structured, realistic, and flexible. Hailey explains why GMAT preparation should generally move through two phases: first developing the necessary foundations and strategies, and then practicing under increasingly realistic test conditions. She also shares why completing more questions does not automatically lead to a higher score, how to use an error log effectively, and what candidates should look for when reviewing their performance. The conversation also covers test readiness, practice-exam timing, managing test-day stress, and why even strong test takers should leave room in their schedules for a possible retake. Whether you are beginning your GMAT journey or trying to regain momentum, this series will help you build a more thoughtful and productive approach to your preparation. About Hailey: Hailey Cusimano is a 99th-percentile performer and a self-proclaimed standardized test nerd. Drawing from her years of experience as an instructor, she knows how to assess students' main obstacles and strategize accordingly, maximizing efficiency in short study windows. Plus, her enthusiasm is infectious, and most students find studying with Hailey actually becomes—dare we say—fun.

Divide your study plan into two broad phases: foundations and strategy first, followed by timed and test-like practice. Avoid treating practice exams as the structure of your entire study plan. Focus on understanding why you struggled with a question—not simply what type of question you missed. Use an error log to identify recurring behaviors, habits, and decision-making patterns. Prioritize the quality of your review over the number of questions you complete. Look for consistency across practice exams rather than relying on one strong performance. Practice handling realistic distractions and pressure before test day. Maintain balance, flexibility, and resilience throughout the preparation process. Leave enough time in your schedule to retake the GMAT if needed.

On this week’s Haaretz Podcast, guest host Joshua Leifer talks to Pnina Pfeuffer, a liberal, feminist ultra-Orthodox social activist. The Jerusalem-based Pfeuffer, CEO of the New Haredim, recently petitioned against a Knesset bill that would permit gender-segregated study tracks for master's and doctoral degrees in Israeli academic institutions. Pfeuffer represents a growing minority inside the Israeli ultra-Orthodox public that is interested in “full citizenship, with full obligations and rights” in the Jewish State. This is a public that wants the Israeli government to enforce the military draft on Haredim and teach math and English in Haredi schools, instead of continuing the de facto Haredi autonomy in which many Israeli rules and norms are absent. According to Pfeuffer, the Haredi community reflects Israel as a whole, and younger Haredim - like their secular and religious Zionist counterparts - are radicalizing, and are more right wing than their parents. Some, as Leifer notes, are part of a “far-right Haredi street movement that is in the Ben-Gvir camp or even more right wing.” Addressing the American Jewish community, Pfeuffer asks that those giving money to Israeli causes “educate themselves” about who they are supporting, “because a lot of liberal funding and good intentions” end up promoting gender segregation and far-right politics.

Hello, and welcome to A Mind of Her Own. I'm Jennifer Reid, MD, a psychiatrist and author. This is the second episode of my series, Guilt Free, For Real. Today, I wanted to talk to you about something that I'm asked about a lot on podcasts and interviews, “Is guilt always bad?” After all, the name of my book is Guilt Free, which suggests that we're trying to eliminate any and all guilt. Interestingly, when I was researching guilt, what I learned is that guilt actually can be adaptive. In fact, guilt may be one of the reasons that we've been able to become larger and larger communities, to collaborate, to work together to enhance the success of our species. Why is that the case? Because what guilt does is help us to connect (when it's used in moderation, in adaptive circumstances.) That seems counterintuitive, but let me explain. Guilt is when we believe we've done something wrong. And if we believe we've harmed someone, that we've done something that's hurt them or made life more difficult, we feel guilty. Guilt doesn't feel good. It also pushes us to try and do something about it. We want to relieve that feeling of guilt, and that can lead to things like apologies, attempts to repair, maybe make up for it, or at least try to learn for next time to not do that again. This is an adaptive type of guilt. We all need to be able to feel this type of adaptive guilt because without it, it's actually going to make it much harder for us to connect. If we hurt someone and we see that they are hurt and we don't feel anything about that at all, you can see how that would cause real problems in relationships and certainly does. So this type of guilt can be adaptive for everyone. When it becomes maladaptive, though, is when it's not based on a particular situation or circumstance. Instead of, “Okay, I've made this error. I want to try and make up for it,” we are saying, “I just feel constantly like the things that I'm doing are not as good as they should be. I'm not doing enough. I'm falling behind. I've let people down. I'm letting myself down.” I've found, within my clinical practice and certainly even in my personal life, (and in my own experience), that women are more likely to feel this sort of constant overwhelming sense of guilt than men. Guilt in these situations does just what it does in adaptive guilt, pushing us to try and do something to make up for it, right? We want to relieve ourselves of this uncomfortable feeling. But what can happen then, what I see happening then in women's lives, is they take on more and more. They become hyper-competent and begin doing all the tasks, carrying the cognitive load, remembering all the appointments and things we need to pick up and things we need to plan and prepare for. Then, people in our lives are stepping back and saying, “Okay, if you've got this, then I guess I won't need to help or support in that way.” But it's counterproductive, right? Because the more we add on, we still believe we need to do all of those things perfectly. And then we perpetually feel like we're falling short. The reason I wanted to write this book about guilt is I really wanted women to know that they are not failing, that falling short of an unreachable ideal is not failure. And what we can learn how to do is shift this intense maladaptive guilt. In the first episode of Guilt Free, for Real, I told you about the Guilt Equation, how we can learn to examine our guilt. Guilt = Our Expectations for Ourselves - Our Perceived RealityWhen I recognize a guilty thought, it's important to review my expectations. Are they fair? Also, I want to set expectations based on my own values and what I think is reasonable, not some comparison to some idealized version online or even in my own head of what I imagine that I should be doing. Another question I'm often asked is, why do women seem to have so much more guilt than men? It's such a complicated answer, but I really want to hit on some key points. Number one, women, girls from a very young age are socialized to feel guilty. We are socialized to take care of everyone around us, to be able read their minds, read their emotions and try to protect them from those. We're taught that to be valuable or loved we need to look a certain way, we need to act a certain way, we need to have self-control. We need to be able to put forth this image of really having it all together. And unfortunately, what this can then lead to is constant guilt. For men, I think it's a different pressure. Of course men experience guilt. And like I said, it can be adaptive. But I think there are different expectations on men. And among those expectations, there are different emotions that men are socialized to experience and are allowed to experience without anyone kind of looking at them strangely. For men, I don't think that guilt is one that's as acceptable. Maybe it's anger, or frustration. Maybe there are other ways that they cope with not believing they're meeting the expectations that they set. Importantly, though, they also don't exist in the same environment where the expectations are that they should be taking care of everyone else in addition to themselves because that's the natural order. This “natural maternal instinct” or “womanly instinct” tells us that “My needs are put last and I take care of others first.” So I don't think that it's fair to say men don't experience guilt, but I think this constant and intense maladaptive guilt is something that women have been taught to experience throughout our lives. Another reason I think that guilt can become so common in women's lives is that it does protect us from some other more difficult emotions, such as grief, sadness, anger, fear. I'll talk more about this in a future episode. But for now, I just want you to keep in mind that through socialization, we've been taught to experience guilt. Some guilt can be adaptive in small amounts, in the right situation, but most of what women are experiencing is this feeling of constant guilt demonstrated by words like “always,” “never,” “should.” It's important to know that this is not something we're creating in ourselves. In future episodes, we'll talk more about the specific types of expectations that women seem to face.

The idea of a North-South divide in England carries weight with many people, but is there any historical basis for it, and how far back does it go? Adam Fleming speaks to James Hawes, author of The Shortest History of England.
Send us Fan MailVasant Dhar teaches data science at NYU's Stern School of Business and has spent more than 45 years at the frontier of artificial intelligence. He brought machine learning to Wall Street in the 1990s and founded SCT Capital Management, one of the first machine learning based hedge funds.He hosts the Brave New World podcast, downloaded more than a million times, where he has interviewed Nobel laureates, technologists, and global thinkers on the implications of AI. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Wired, and MIT Technology Review. His latest book, Thinking with Machines, traces AI from its origins to the present.For more than forty years, Vasant has built systems that sat right on the edge of human trust. People had to decide whether to rely on them or walk away.In this episode, he makes a stark claim: AI will not just change how we work; it will sort us into two groups. One uses it to extend their judgment. The other slowly hands that judgment over. The gap comes down to habits you are forming today, not some distant future.In this conversation, we discuss:Why trusting AI comes down to just two variables, and the simple test Vasant has applied since his Harvard Business Review piece a decade agoThe bifurcation Vasant believes AI is about to create, splitting humanity into two groups, and which side you do not want to be onWhat tennis great Roger Federer's win rate reveals about succeeding with algorithms, and the counterintuitive math behind every winning edge Why the edge returns to humans the moment everyone runs the same algorithms, and what only people can do in situations no system has seen The one word in the title Thinking with Machines that Vasant says matters most, and what it asks of how we work alongside AIThe areas of life where Vasant argues we may need to restrict AI entirely, and the legal framework we already have to govern itExplore the Conversation 00:00 Intro & AI Fun Fact: Trustworthy AI from Principles to Practice04:13 Meet Vasant Dhar: From the Internist System to Machine Learning on Wall Street07:10 The Origins of Thinking with Machines: The Biggest Surprise in 45 Years of AI09:33 Written for Everyone: AI's Accelerating Pace and the Call to Get Engaged11:23 When to Trust an Algorithm: The Green Zone and the Human Edge20:24 The Bifurcation of Humanity: Superhuman Amplification or Cognitive Decline24:52 The Four Eras of Machine Intelligence: From Specification to General Intelligence29:22 The Ethics of AI Agency: Where Machines Need Limits and Obligations34:14 Who Governs AI: Tort Law, Liability, and Emerging Legal Precedent37:44 AI in 2036: Multisensory Machines and the Integration of the Senses40:33 Teaching Machines to Smell: AI, Olfaction, and Disease Detection43:35 Where to Find Thinking with Machines and Connect with Vasant Dhar Resources:Subscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Vasant on LinkedInAI fun fact articleOn the decision sprint process with Atif Rafiq, CEO & Bestselling Author
Cars driven by Israeli volunteers wait at check points to give lifts to sick Palestinians to their hospital appointments - what the volunteers call “one hour of peace”. Since Hamas's attacks on 7 October, it has become an increasingly rare space for Israelis and Palestinians to speak and build trust and connection amid the trauma of war. Most Palestinians from the occupied West Bank are prevented from travelling to Israel, among them patients in desperate need of specialised medical treatment. Some days there are more than 80 car rides, volunteer drivers, waiting at the checkpoint, by the separation barrier that divides Israel and the West Bank. Meanwhile in Gaza, patients who used to receive medical care in Israel are among around 20,000 patients on a long list awaiting medical evacuation. Jerusalem reporter Naomi Scherbel-Ball hears how they have survived more than two years of a devastating war, displaced from their homes and reliant on a health system all but destroyed by war. She also meets the Israeli volunteers, who had friends and family killed on 7 October. Despite the war, some have stayed in touch with the patients they used to drive from Gaza.
Buying a home, building good credit, preparing for retirement, and navigating the markets all require looking beyond today's headlines. Shanna Squires of Henssler Mortgage Advisors joins us to explain what actually happens during the mortgage process — from pre-approval to closing — including why pre-approval may not always be what you can afford, why lenders ask for so much documentation, and how your mortgage lender should be working with you every step of the way before getting the keys.After the break, we also explore the growing divide in consumer credit, as more Americans achieve top-tier credit scores while others struggle with record credit card balances and how it mirrors our K-shaped economy.We examine the changing realities of retirement as more Baby Boomers choose to upsize instead of downsize, reflecting a shift toward multigenerational living, entertaining, and homes designed to support aging in place.We close with a look at the latest earnings season, why investors are becoming more selective about companies' AI spending, and whether the other 493 companies in the S&P 500 can help broaden market leadership.

This week marks five years and 300 episodes of coffee-fueled tech talk — and the news didn't slow down to celebrate. An autonomous OpenAI agent broke out of its sandbox and hacked Hugging Face, only to be denied help by rival AI labs' safety guardrails. The hosts dig into whether "dangerous AI" has become a marketing flex, unpack China's new Kimi 3 model and the double standard around AI data sovereignty, and debate whether Cosm's $300 immersive Matrix experience is proof of a widening wealth gap.Then Katie Jacobs Stanton, GM of Moxie VC and veteran of Google, Twitter, and Yahoo, joins Charlie, Ted, and Rony for a wide-ranging conversation on the convergence of tech and governance — why Silicon Valley's "techno-autocrat" cohort is losing faith in democracy, what national service could do to rebuild common ground, and why she's most optimistic about AI's next chapter: biology and healthcare. Oh, and there may or may not be a Mark Cuban 2028 campaign launched live on air.Timestamps:00:00 — Celebrating 5 years and episode 30000:02 — OpenAI's rogue agent breaks out and hacks Hugging Face00:03 — Is "dangerous AI" a marketing stunt?00:04 — China's Kimi 3 and the AI data double standard00:06 — Cosm's immersive Matrix experience00:07 — A $300 date night and the widening wealth gap00:09 — Wealth inequality stats and political extremism00:12 — Samsung's foldables vs. Apple's next move00:15 — Katie Jacobs Stanton joins the show00:16 — Her path through Google, Twitter, and Yahoo00:18 — What made Google outpace Yahoo00:22 — Why trust matters more than innovation00:25 — Inside the Obama administration's digital push00:29 — Making public service accessible again00:31 — Finding a shared American identity beyond party lines00:34 — National service, the draft, and common ground00:37 — Tech and governance converging00:40 — Silicon Valley's techno-autocrats and democracy00:44 — The case for Mark Cuban00:46 — Launching "Mark Cuban 2028" live on air00:47 — Katie's big-picture take: AI, healthcare, and optimism Hosted on Acast.

Fitzpatrick and Suozzi dig into some of the toughest challenges facing American democracy today: gerrymandering, closed primaries, the outrage economy fueled by social media and cable news, and how foreign adversaries exploit our political divisions online. But the conversation isn't all doom and gloom — it's also a hopeful reminder that people across the aisle are still finding ways to work together, and a call to get back to the basics of collaborative governing.Please help us continue this podcast by making a financial donation to Keystone Policy Center.Listen to previous episodes of this podcast at Keystone's website or by subscribing to it through any podcast provider.
Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents & A Podcast — happy HUMP DAY (lol). Harrison is BACK from Minnesota and we get a little behind the scenes look on what it's like to drop an exclusive collab with Target (everyone go try the Flock Turkey Bacon Strips!!) before we get into our topics for the day.

Finally, while Harrison was gone, Alex wrote a FREE Substack about division of household labor (the tip: do this exercise with your partner!! the BTS: was this an overshare??). And of course there's a bunch of other fun stuff: audiobooks vs. reading for the millionth time, Jules is learning Spanish, schools have gotten rid of smart boards, when your kid transitions from "dada" to "daddy", the first name vs. Miss/Mrs. debate, Hinge's new friend prompts feature, & the most important question: should Harrison shave his beard?!

What will it take to build a long-term care system that truly works for everyone? In this episode, AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan welcomes Robert Espinoza, founder of the CareWorks Project, for a thought-provoking conversation about reimagining care through innovation, equity, and collaboration. Robert shares the personal experiences that shaped his career and introduces the concept of the "caregiving divide," the growing gap between the care people need and the care they actually receive. Together, Susan and Robert explore the urgent need for person-centered and worker-centered solutions, including a universal direct care workforce framework, the promise of artificial intelligence in home care, and the role of public-private partnerships in transforming the future of aging. This episode offers a deeper understanding of the systemic challenges facing long-term care and the bold ideas and collaborative approaches that can help create a more compassionate, sustainable future for older adults, caregivers, and the workforce that supports them.

Featured Guest: Allison Howell, CEO of Hogan Assessments --- This is The Leadership Divide, a special series with Hogan Assessments in partnership with I Hate It Here!

In this episode of BRAVE COMMERCE, Rachel Tipograph and Sarah Hofstetter speak with Mindy Shaltry, VP of Omnichannel Marketing & Activation, Mondelēz U.S., and Wes Saraceni, VP of Consumer Experience U.S. at Mondelēz International, about why today's shopper journey demands closer alignment between marketing and sales.Mindy and Wes share how their partnership is helping break down organizational silos, reshape the traditional funnel, and build more connected consumer experiences across every stage of the path to purchase. They also discuss what large organizations can learn from smaller brands, why the "missing middle" of the consumer journey deserves more attention, and how stepping into unfamiliar roles has shaped their leadership.Key takeaways:The consumer doesn't distinguish between marketing and sales, so organizations can't afford to either.Growth comes from connecting every stage of the consumer journey, not just optimizing the top or bottom of the funnel.Stepping into unfamiliar roles and challenging established ways of working makes leaders stronger.

Political Scientists Christopher Federico, Stanley Feldman, and Christopher Weber have an important and fascinating new book from Oxford University Press focusing on understanding authoritarianism, especially in the American context. As experts in political psychology, the authors are keen to consider authoritarianism as a psychological concept, which is more about submitting to authority, as a kind of conformity, and less about a particular political regime structure. The Authoritarian Divide: Partisan Identity, Voting, and the Transformation of the American Electorate (Oxford UP, 2026) is about trying to understand voters and how some of them are attracted to this idea or concept, and how this attraction then works itself out within the electorate and within our contemporary political moment. In order to understand this theory of psychological authoritarianism, the authors trace the idea from origins in critical theory and pre-World War I European thinkers (Freud, Benjamin, etc.) who were examining the concepts of conformity vs. autonomy, and how these ideas functioned in political life. The authors also examined differing approaches to child-rearing, since this also reflects these same concepts of conformity and autonomy, but in how they are put into practice in bringing up children, either with more freedom or in a more rules bound approach. In using these measures, Federico, Feldman, and Weber also pulled together data from election surveys starting in the 1990s and moving forward that include questions that get at some of the same ideas. The authors also used experiments to test individual inclinations towards autonomy or uniformity. The thrust of voter's choices was not about economics or specific public policy in these analyses, but around social issue differentiation and social context. The research for The Authoritarian Divide is complex and brings together a variety of different methodological approaches in order to examine this political divide, and to tease out the impact of psychological authoritarianism in American politics. The Authoritarian Divide: Partisan Identity, Voting, and the Transformation of the American Electorate reveals that this inclination towards psychological authoritarianism is much more prevalent among white conservative voters than among other voting blocs in the United States. This has also led voters to sort themselves within the two parties accordingly, with far more of those who are inclined towards psychological authoritarianism moving into the Republican Party, and fewer moving into the Democratic Party. The result of this sorting has contributed to the rise in polarization within American politics over the past thirty years. The Authoritarian Divide explains a lot about voter thinking and approaches to American politics over the past three decades. It helps to decipher the entrenched polarization because the examination is not about policy distinctions or issues, it is about how individual voters think and why they are inclined to think in particular ways about politics. The authors clearly assess the distinctions within the voting populace of the United States, and, in so doing, unpack different approaches to voting and vote choices in different sectors of the electorate. The Authoritarian Divide really helps us to understand our current political climate and to see how the rise of Donald Trump fits into a temporally longer era of American politics, partisan politics, racial politics, and the tensions between democracy and authoritarianism.

The stock market keeps hitting record highs. Consumer confidence keeps hitting new lows. How can both be true at the same time? Andy sits down with Dr. Joanne Hsu, director of the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index, to find out what the data actually says — and why the gap between how investors feel and how everyone else feels is wider than almost any point in modern history. You'll hear why rising stock prices only help people who own stock, how inflation expectations can become self-fulfilling in ways that trap even the Fed, and what it means that AI mentions in consumer surveys went from 2% to 12% in a single year — and most of them aren't optimistic. The Shiller PE is sitting near all-time highs. Consumer sentiment is near all-time lows. Those two numbers are telling two completely different stories about who's winning right now.

Sometimes saving the planet can feel like a massive, exhausting guilt trip. In this episode, Debbie sits down with University of British Columbia professors Elizabeth Dunn and Jiaying Zhao to talk about their book, Leave the Lights On: How Joyful Decisions Can Save Our Species. Their main point is about the whole "you must be perfect" climate messaging is totally backfiring, and focusing on joyful, high-impact changes is actually what keeps people motivated. Jiaying breaks down a massive 63-country study showing how scare tactics just make people want to shut down, and the duo debunks some common eco-myths.It turns out that obsessing over turning off the lights or choosing the perfect reusable bag doesn't move the needle much. Instead, they shout out smarter, high-leverage moves like treating beef and lamb as occasional splurges, eating more plants, and traveling lighter. They also get into how to influence the people around you by making sustainable choices easy, attractive, and non-political, proving that individual habits and big systemic changes (like voting) both matter.Listen and Learn: How "doom and gloom" climate messaging actually backfires by discouraging real-world actionSurprising insights from a massive global study of 60,000 participants across 63 countriesFinding joyful, climate-friendly lifestyle changes to create a positive feedback loop that makes us happier and more motivated to protect the planet How making practical, high-impact shifts in your daily habits like smarter food choices can create a truly sustainable difference for both you and the planetData-backed truth behind common environmental myths and how to easily focus your energy on the daily lifestyle choices that actually make a high-impact difference for the planet How to significantly lower your carbon footprint without sacrificing the foods you loveReducing your carbon footprint without giving up the joy of travel by mastering the art of packing light, making smarter flight choices, and embracing the unexpected adventure of staycations How to inspire positive behavior change in others without lecturing them on climate change Why individual action and systemic change are not a false dichotomy, but rather a powerful partnership where local community engagement can drive larger policy shifts and boost your personal happiness Resources: Leave the Lights On: How Joyful Decisions Can Save Our Specieswww.happyclimate.org Book Debbie mentioned: Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden, by Camille T.

With almost 800 episodes in the archives, new listeners (and old) often ask me for recommendations. In response, I'll occasionally re-post some of my favorites. This was my first conversation with Rick Beato (Episode 420, 5/18/2020). Some reasons you might want to listen to this episode.On what Rick Beato actually does for people who love music:Chris Ryan: “He is like the Anthony Bourdain of music. He takes you to a place you've never been — or you have been, but you just never noticed it the way he does. And you'll never experience it the same way again after he's shown you around.”On how the Beatles wrote Help, Rubber Soul, and Revolver — all in one year:Rick Beato: “In 1965, they released three records within twelve months. These are all 12, 14-song records. It's not just writing all those songs — they recorded and released all of them in one calendar year. I believe it was 13 records in 8 years. It's unfathomable. But one of the things about making records all the time is that you get good at making records. The act of always being in the studio, always writing songs, made them better songwriters because they didn't want to repeat themselves.”On the night John Lennon died:Rick Beato: “I was in my freshman year of college and my roommate was watching Monday Night Football. He said, ‘Oh my god, John Lennon was just shot.' I said, ‘What?' And Howard Cosell was doing the play by play. Then five minutes later they announced John Lennon had died. And right then, you could hear it — across the whole campus.”On the fear of understanding music too well:Chris Ryan: “I remember talking with my buddy — a musical prodigy, just a total genius — about a piece of music that I found particularly moving. I said that feels so nostalgic to me, it just sounds like an old person looking back on their life, remembering the loves and the loss. And he said, ‘Well yeah, that's because it's in G minor. That's just a trick.' And it kind of broke my heart a little bit. His sense of music was becoming more and more mechanical.”Rick Beato: “I never analyze music when I'm listening to it. I just listen. The only time I analyze it is when I need to for a video. And it's funny — there are songs I've heard for 40 years where making the video is the first time I've ever even figured out what they're doing. It never occurred to me. I always listened as a fan.”Chris Ryan: “You're like a porn star who has real orgasms, Rick.”On where the power of music actually comes from:Rick Beato: “When you play a string, there are natural harmonics that happen because of the atmosphere. If you divide a string in half, it produces the note an octave above. Divide it again — a fifth above. Again — a third above. And all of a sudden you have a major chord. The major triad is literally part of our atmosphere. I think that has something to do with it. Music is one of the great mysteries of human experience. I work with as much music as I've studied my entire life, and I still wonder: where do they come up with this stuff?”On perfect pitch — and what it tells us about how we lose things as we grow up:Rick Beato: “Every baby is born with the ability to hear all phonemes from all 6,500 languages spoken on earth. But beginning at around nine months, they start to lose this ability. I believe perfect pitch is exactly the same — it's just another language that's retained by some babies and not others. My son Dylan can hear a ten-note chord and tell you every pitch in it. But he says he never thinks about it when he's just listening. It never occurs to him. And that's how I am with music too.” This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit chrisryan.substack.com/subscribe
Robert Feldman and Michael Gapen discuss how AI could reshape growth, labor markets and productivity in the U.S. and Japan.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Robert Feldman: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Robert Feldman, Senior Advisor at Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities in Tokyo. Michael Gapen: And I'm Michael Gapen, Morgan Stanley's Chief U.S. Economist. Robert Feldman: Today, we'll discuss why the U.S. and Japanese economies may react differently to the AI productivity test. It's Thursday, July 9th at 8 pm in Tokyo. Michael Gapen: And 9 am in New York. Robert Feldman: AI is the biggest theme around the world right now, but AI will play out differently in different economies. Take the cases of the U.S. and Japan. In the U.S., it's already a catalyst in investment, imports, productivity, and the labor market outlook. But here in Japan, it's seen as a savior for an economy with an intense labor shortage, low unemployment, and very little room to raise labor force participation. Mike, in the U.S., AI's contribution to real GDP growth will rise from about 0.05 percentage points in 2024 to an estimated 0.43 percentage points in 2027. What does that mean for markets? Michael Gapen: Well, Robby, I think it, it means a number of things, but, you know, I'm an economist, so the answer is always, "It depends." I think the real crux of the issue over time in the U.S., and therefore what it means for financial markets, is ultimately whether AI is labor replacing – and pushes the unemployment rate higher. Or it acts like a more traditional general-purpose technology that's labor augmenting. So, if, that's the case, meaning it looks similar to the internet and digital era, then it would mean faster output growth, stronger productivity growth, but still an economy that's running at or near full employment. That would be very beneficial in our estimation for risk assets, equity markets, credit markets, and it would probably mean that we stay in an interest rate environment that's certainly higher than it was during the post GFC period. But if – AI is a very different technology than we've seen in the past, and it displaces labor, and we get increases in the unemployment rate as AI diffuses through the economy. Then it could be very different for markets. Maybe returns to capital and equity markets are supported, but that might be more narrowly for technology stocks and not broader, say, consumer discretionary stocks. So, the answer, of course, is it depends. We don't know. And I think, ultimately, we come down on the side of thinking that AI will not create dystopian outcomes in the labor markets, that employment will hold up. So, we have a fairly constructive view, perhaps an optimistic view. And we think, ultimately it'll benefit markets greatly, similar to what we saw from the mid-90s to the early 2000's. Robert Feldman: Well, in your model, you have a particular variable that captures the speed of diffusion. But your baseline has AI spreading twice as fast as the internet did. But without that rise of employment. Is that really manageable? And if it's not, what economic indicators would warn us, if we're crossing into the danger zone? Michael Gapen: This is really the tricky part as, as you know. We have a new technology. We have to model how it diffuses through the economy. And I would say I think there's an argument here that penetration rates and usage rates are very different than what economists think about diffusion, which is how the production process is reshaped because of this new technology. And so most economists look at the internet and digital era and think it took 20-25 years to fully diffuse. Mass penetration in maybe 10 years, but full diffusion in more like 20-25 years. And so, each innovation cycle tends to happen more rapidly. So, I do think AI will spread more rapidly. And even by saying it spreads twice as fast as the internet did still means that it'll take roughly a decade, maybe 10-12 years for this to fully diffuse. So, our argument here would be that that is enough time for a flexible economy and a flexible labor market, like we have in the U.S., to rebalance labor. But if we're wrong, then Robby, what I think you will see is that as AI rolls through, it diffuses faster. And what we would see then is increases in rates of job separation and layoffs that would overwhelm the labor market's ability to reallocate workers. So, I think we would see two things – or three things: scale layoffs, a rise in the unemployment rate, and probably a significant amount of underemployment. Those who get rebalanced may be rebalanced into work that's not, say, consistent with the skill of that worker. So, I think we would see a very disrupted labor market in the process. But if it takes a decade, maybe 10-12 years, we think ultimately the U.S. economy is flexible enough to rebalance labor without large scale layoffs. Robert Feldman: Now, people are afraid of a lot of things, but one other thing is that AI might create new kinds of jobs, new kinds of tasks, have different impacts on people's wealth, and different responses from policymakers as well. How do these knock-on effects change the AI labor story? Michael Gapen: Yeah. That's right. I think you make a very good point there that I think it's easy to fall into what an economist would call a partial equilibrium trap. So, for example, we look at occupations exposed to AI task replacement, and we say, "Wow, if all these tasks are replaced, we might lose 10 million workers or 20 million workers." But that's too simplistic, in our view. Because as you note, AI may destroy some tasks or replace some tasks, but it's also going to create new ones. So, it may eliminate some types of occupations but create others. And in addition, if people are, say, laid off because of AI, you get a loss in labor market income for the economy. But AI will likely create returns to capital, say, stronger equity performance, and that's an indirect wealth effect. So, our model kind of, looks at, say, three wedges or three horse races in the economy then. It's about the speed of diffusion of AI against the ability of the labor market to rebalance. It's task destruction or task replacement versus new task creation. And then third, it's we might have weakness in labor market income in the short run, but there are indirect wealth effects. So, thinking about it this way in a richer general equilibrium context, these feedback effects matter a lot. So, the combination of if the labor market's disrupted, we get easing in monetary policy, maybe a fiscal response. There are new tasks, new jobs that are created for workers to rebalance to over time. And overall demand in the economy gets held up because wealth effects can offset some lost income. All of that is extremely important in our view that ultimately the U.S. economy can rebalance and handle the AI diffusion in a manageable way. We could be wrong, of course, but our main point here is you have to think about this in a richer context. You can't just simply, say, stack up workers and occupations and say, "Oh, we're going to lose a lot of employment." That's not the way innovation waves have worked in the past. We don't think they're going to work that way in the future. Robert Feldman: Mm-hmm. That's fascinating because the situation in the United States is so different from that in Japan, largely because of the demographic situation. Here in Japan, the key element is how much AI can ease the labor shortage. In fact, in some labor-intensive jobs now, we're seeing 6 percent wage increases, and that's great. As long as productivity rises fast enough that price hikes aren't necessary. Michael Gapen: So Robby, in your scenarios for Japan, the same 10 percent productivity gain can lead to very different outcomes. Deflation and weaker employment in one case. More inflation, higher wages, and more employment in another. What do you think drives the difference? Robert Feldman: Mm-hmm. Well, the crucial element really is the flexibility of goods and labor markets. With high flexibility, you get higher GDP, higher employment, and moderate inflation. With low flexibility, you may get a bit higher GDP, but employment plunges, and there's deflation of both prices and wages – more in wages. Now, in Japan, over the last two decades, we've seen monopoly power in key markets go down. For example, agriculture and energy. Labor markets are more flexible too, but lifetime employment system still applies to about two-thirds of the economy. And that deters people from trying to find better jobs and even from acquiring the skills needed for a new job. Michael Gapen: What conditions are needed for AI to be additive to Japan's economy? Robert Feldman: We need more reskilling. Japan is lucky because people are healthy, and they want to work into their 70s and beyond. But acquiring the skills to remain productive is a challenge, even though Japan's workforce is well-educated and still has a strong work ethic. So, to sum up, in the U.S., the race is between diffusion and absorption. But in Japan it's between labor scarcity and productivity. Is that fair? Michael Gapen: It is fair, and we come down on the side of optimism. We think diffusion will happen fast, but it'll happen at a pace that the U.S. economy can handle. So, we come down having a positive view overall. We do not lean in the direction of dystopian labor market outcomes. Robert Feldman: Mm-hmm. I agree with that as well for Japan. So, Mike, thanks for taking the time to talk. Michael Gapen: Great speaking with you, Robby-san. Robert Feldman: And thanks for listening, everyone.
