In 2014, Nick Hanauer sounded the alarm: if economic inequality kept growing, the pitchforks would come—for him, and for the rest of America's wealthy elite. Then 2016 happened. Donald Trump was elected president on a wave of economic populism that correctly identified massive inequality as a problem, but which offered all the wrong solutions. The inaugural episode of Pitchfork Economics lays the groundwork for everything that followed. We revisit the urgent warning that launched the show, explore the deep myths that still shape our economy, and explain why telling a better story about how the economy works is the first step toward building one that works for everyone. Part of our Back-to-Basics summer series—essential listening for anyone ready to ditch trickle-down and think middle-out. Ganesh Sitaraman is a law professor at Vanderbilt University and a leading expert on constitutional law, economic inequality, and political economy. He's the author of several influential books, including The Crisis of the Middle-Class Constitution, The Great Democracy, and Why Flying Is Miserable and How to Fix It. Sitaraman has served as a policy advisor to Senator Elizabeth Warren and co-founded the Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator. Walter Scheidel is a historian at Stanford University whose work explores inequality, economic history, and the rise and fall of civilizations. He's best known for his acclaimed book The Great Leveler, which argues that throughout history, extreme inequality has only been reduced through violent shocks like war, revolution, or plague.

Summary In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution podcast, John DiJulius discusses the importance of the Customer Experience Action Statement and its role in transforming organizational culture. He explains how this statement serves as a guiding principle for employees in their interactions with customers, emphasizing the need for actionable and measurable goals. The conversation delves into the structure of the statement, the three pillars that support it, and provides examples from various organizations. John also highlights the significance of sustaining the action statement over time and the role of kindness in enhancing customer experiences. Takeaways The Customer Experience Action Statement is crucial for employee engagement. It should be actionable and measurable for effective implementation. The three pillars of the action statement are expertise, human interaction, and above and beyond service. Creating a customer experience action statement involves collaboration and clarity. Sustaining the action statement requires ongoing training and reminders. Kindness plays a vital role in customer interactions and overall experience. Companies should focus on making every moment matter for their customers. The action statement should be visible to employees but not advertised to customers. Regularly refreshing the action statement keeps it top of mind for employees. Customer experience is a continuous journey, not a one-time initiative.

What If You Picked the Wrong Career—And Can't Fix It?I think about this almost every day. I am sure you do, my friend.What if I picked the wrong career?What if I can't undo it?I'm a professor. I have a PhD—with 15 years of experience. But most days, I still ask: What the hell am I doing here? This isn't what I imagined. I feel typecast. Trapped. Like I can't change direction because the world already decided who I am.I'm an old man.But here's the truth: those boundaries—those roles we think are fixed—they're mostly made up. Nobody really knows what they're doing when they start. You just figure it out as you go.And when I see a 72-year-old training to be a lifeguard after 40 years as a programmer at my swimming pool (true story), I'm reminded: it's never too late to start again.If you're stuck, forgive yourself. I hear people say, “You just didn't do your homework.”F that. No one knows what they're getting into. You figure it out as you go.Say “screw it” to the expectations.Try the thing. Muck around.You don't need permission. Just start.And when people judge you? Build a boundary in your head. Politely Say SCREW YOU. Keep moving.That's what I'm doing.And if you're a PhD who feels this way—know you're not alone. You didn't mess it up. You're just living a story that's still being written.This is for every PhD who quietly wonders: “What if I chose wrong?”If you need someone to hear this, share it!

Summary In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution podcast, John DiJulius discusses the critical importance of human experience in business, emphasizing that while technology can enhance service, it cannot replace the unique value of personal interactions. He introduces the concept of URX (You Are the Experience) and highlights the decline of people skills across generations, particularly among younger employees who are often 'relationship disadvantaged' due to their upbringing in a digital world. DiJulius advocates for businesses to prioritize training in connection skills and to foster a culture that values meaningful relationships, both internally among employees and externally with customers. In this episode, John DiJulius III and Denise Thompson explore the importance of curiosity in conversations, the significance of personal touches in business relationships, and the philosophy of pursuing greatness. They discuss how focusing on others, listening actively, and finding gifts in every interaction can lead to stronger connections and greater success in both personal and professional realms. Takeaways URX stands for 'You Are the Experience' and emphasizes the importance of employee engagement. Technology is easily replicable, but the human experience is unique to each business. Companies must prioritize training in people skills for all generations. Younger generations are often 'relationship disadvantaged' due to technology. In-person interactions are crucial for developing people skills. Loneliness affects all generations, not just the young. Social media contributes to a decline in real-life social skills. Employers play a key role in teaching connection skills to employees. The Ford method (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams) helps build rapport. Making meaningful connections can significantly impact personal and professional lives. Focus on the other person to build rapport. Curiosity is key in conversations. Listening is more important than talking. Personal touches can enhance business relationships. Gifts in conversations can strengthen connections. Pay attention to details shared by others. Interrupting can hinder effective communication. Avoid stealing someone's thunder in conversations. Pursuing greatness requires more than just doing your best. Achieving greatness is a continuous journey.

This week we reflect on the small but powerful act of fixing a broken wheel on an office cart—and what it taught us about decision-making, resourcefulness, and letting go of mental clutter. We explore how these “tiny wins” can create major momentum in your organizing journey, and how to know when it's time to fix something, repurpose it, or move on.This is part of our ongoing Fix It or Free It series, where each month we take on a single item we've been avoiding and finally make a decision. This month?
