Duff McDonald and Joey Moss discuss the special things in life that bring them one step closer to the tickle of existence.

You've been hearing a lot about McKinsey in the headlines. This company received over $100 million in contracts from the Trudeau Liberals, and has been the subject of various controversies here in Canada and around the world. But behind the headlines, who is this company, what do they do, and why do people hire them? On today's episode of Resuming Debate, I interview Duff McDonald, author of The Firm: The Story of McKinsey and its Secret Influence on American Business. How has McKinsey continued to sign up clients in spite of their track record of scandals? What is this company really all about? On this episode we also talk about a few books. You can find Duff's book on McKinsey here: https://www.amazon.ca/Firm-McKinsey-Influence-American-Business/dp/1439190984.

Duff McDonald and Joey Moss discuss the special things in life that bring them one step closer to the tickle of existence.

What are some steps we can take to find happiness and peace of mind. This week, friend of the podcast Luke Froude guest hosts the podcast to interview the tickle master himself, Duff McDonald.

A contributing editor at New York and Fortune magazines, he has also written for Vanity Fair, Conde Nast Portfolio, GQ, WIRED, Time, Newsweek, and others.

When we're so committed to being right about our own reality, we miss things happening right under our nose. Egos are handy, but they can be limiting to the amount of joy we experience in life if we let them lead the way. In this episode Duff McDonald, journalist and author of "Tickled: A Commonsense Guide to the Present Moment", recounts how the quiet of quarantine shocked him out of his narrow perspective of living, and turned his way of being on its head. Duff describes how the gift of fallow time forced him to thinking radically about how he'd been operating in the world up until that point, and shares how untying the knot of his heart produced a fire hydrant of love, opening him up to the magic of life itself.

In the midst of the pandemic Duff McDonald found himself struggling with the fight between our desire to be in control vs. just enjoying moments as they come. How can we strike the right balance so we don't miss out on life's best moments? TICKLED is McDonald's new book that draws inspiration from sources like Bob Dylan and Buddha to Harry Potter to discuss how to be more present at work, in relationships, and what he calls the “Science of Experience.” He knows that ‘tickle' is a funny, maybe awkward word, but he finds it's the right one to describe when you are in the moment, experiencing reality as consciously as you can, and enjoying every second of it. The book will help readers find what ‘tickles' them too.

Last November, after an extended RFP bidding process involving initially 280 cities, narrowed down to twenty “finalists”, Amazon announced Long Island City in Queens, New York as its “HQ2” winner. New York's agreements with Amazon guaranteed $27 billion in revenue for New York with $3 billion returned to Amazon in tax credits. In February of this year, however, on Valentine's Day no less (slightly tone deaf!), Amazon abruptly canceled its plans entirely and reversed course, citing mounting criticism it received from state and local politicians, activists and community groups in and around Long Island City. The main arguments from the so-called resistance were that it would cause housing costs to skyrocket, drive out low-income residents and worsen congestion on the subway and streets. Others have distilled the story into three categories: (1) subsidies/corporate giveaways, (2) secrecy and backroom dealings and (3) corporate social responsibility and corporate behavior. On this episode of The Medium Rules, host Alan Baldachin is joined by Ari Wallach and Duff McDonald with a view to dissecting the various causes and effects, both short and long-term, implicated and exposed by the Amazon HQ2 debacle. Is this a story of corporate greed and Albany arrogance finally getting their respective comeuppance? Or, was the turning back of Amazon HQ2 an ahistorical blunder of epic proportions? How much should we care about community preservation, or is this just a nostalgic fever dream of a very vocal, activist minority? To what extent are we required to extrapolate the Amazon HQ2 into broader American political and social currents tracing back to Occupy Wall Street and the rise of the new left, or is the story much more localized in nature? Ari Wallach is the founder and CEO of Longpath Labs. We had the pleasure to connect with Ari for our very first episode of The Medium Rules last June. Longpath Labs is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to promote and advocate long-term modes of thinking, synthesizing and responding to humanity's greatest long-term challenges. Duff McDonald is a first timer on The Medium Rules. Duff is a New York-based journalist and is the author, most recently, of The New York Times bestsellers The Golden Passport and The Firm. A long-time magazine writer, Duff has written for The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, New York Magazine, Esquire, Fortune, Business Week, Wired, Time, and other publications. Duff wrote the book review for the New York Times on Brad Stone's essential book on Amazon, The Everything Store. Duff is currently working on a book with Christiane Lemiuex about what makes entrepreneurs tick – Christiane is the founder and CEO of The Inside and a previous guest on The Medium Rules.

Laurie Taylor examines the role of business schools in the UK and abroad. Martin Parker joins him in the studio to discuss the arguments in his book Shut Down the Business School - What's Wrong with Management Education. Laurie is joined on the line from New York by the author of The Golden Passport - Harvard Business School, the Limits of Capitalism, and the Moral Failure of the MBA Elite, Duff McDonald. Are there similarities between the American business school model and its British counterpart? With some MBAs costing in excess of £75,000 in the UK, what is the lure for prospective students and is the qualification worth the money? Or should we be thinking beyond the monetary value of MBAs and focus instead on what MBA graduates could be giving back to society and the importance of corporate responsibility? Maeve Cohen is the Director of Rethinking Economics, an organisation which argues for a change in the way that economics is taught and calls for more diversity and historical context in the economics curriculum, and she also joins the discussion.

Are elite MBA programs producing morally bankrupt administrators? Duff McDonald, author of “The Golden Passport,” tries to convince Luigi & Kate that conflicts of interest and flawed case studies amount to an unethical education that harms society.

The Harvard Business School's influence on the world's business executives, organizations, and outcomes has been immense. As the perceived pinnacle of business education worldwide, the school's approach has been wisely studied and widely imitated. But despite the well-deserved plaudits that form the cornerstone of its reputation, journalist Duff McDonald argues that the school's most significant influences are ones that get the least attention. Drawing from the research behind his bestselling book, “The Golden Passport”, McDonald traces the roots of the philosophical shifts that changed Harvard's Business School's trajectory, and demonstrates how the combination of unintended consequences and inadvertent influence has reverberated throughout American – and global – business to this very day.
