What if green technology was actually just more profitable? Today, we're talking to Tom Chi, Google X Co-Founder and Founding Partner at At One Ventures, about his new bestselling book, Climate Capital. We discuss why the physical world is a more predictable investment than software, how his firm identifies the 30 industries responsible for over 90% of planetary damage, and why making clean technology the most profitable technology is the only climate strategy that actually scales. All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast!  To learn more about At One Ventures, check out their website here.

“Oddly enough, it’s the vulnerability that connects us. It’s not the perfect; yeah, that’s like Teflon.” – Mike Depatie Mike Depatie Mike Depatie, Founding Partner of KHP Capital Partners, attended the Hoffman Process in 2005. At the Process, Mike looked around the room and felt like he didn’t belong. He wasn’t even sure it was right for him because he felt he had a kind of Leave-it-to-Beaver childhood. Mike stayed through that discomfort and came to understand that even though he felt he had nothing in common with those he was with, he had come to love them. He realized that everyone is lovable if you really get to know them, including himself. Mike came to the Process through his role as President and CEO of Kimpton Hotels. Kimpton leadership encouraged employees to connect with themselves, so they would ultimately connect at a deeper and more effective level with their teammates and customers. To that end, employees were given the chance to do the Hoffman Process. Mike agreed to come. After attending, he says the Process helps people discover the best version of themselves. The business advice he offers is to “figure out who the hell you are, and then fully step into that.” Mike is the informal leader of Qfish, an annual fishing trip whose members are all Hoffman Process grads, including Raz Ingrasci, a long-time participant. They called themselves Qfish, like the Hoffman Q2 retreat. For the past 20 years, they've fished together and processed things like they’d learned to do at their Process. Both Raz and Drew Horning have attended these Qfish gatherings. We hope you enjoy this engaging conversation with Mike and Drew. Listen on Apple Podcasts More about Mike Depatie: Qfish Mike Depatie is a seasoned hospitality and investment leader best known for serving as President and CEO of Kimpton Hotels, which he led for over a decade before its sale to IHG in 2015. Under his leadership, Kimpton became the world's largest boutique hotel company with over 60 hotels and a celebrated workplace and brand. Kimpton was named one of Fortune Magazine's 100 Best Places to Work multiple times. Mike is now a Founding Partner of KHP Capital Partners, an active investor in hospitality real estate. With a Harvard MBA, he has held senior roles across hospitality, real estate, and technology. He’s served on multiple boards. Mike lives in Napa with his wife, Holly, and their 16-year-old yellow lab, Cabo. As mentioned in this episode: Qfish, including Drew, Mike, Raz, and other Hoffman graduates. Raz Ingrasci: Raz, along with his wife Liza Ingrasci, founded the Hoffman Institute Foundation.

Learn how an “investing, operating and innovating” model embeds operators and technology experts alongside investors to tackle two of the biggest causes of deal underperformance: management execution and failed technology transformations. Plus, hear how PE firms can unlock more value from the assets they already own—using technology, data and product improvements to drive growth from existing customers, modernize legacy businesses and accelerate outcomes within the typical three-to-five-year hold period.The information contained in this podcast is not intended to constitute, and should not be construed as, investment advice.

Innovation Under Pressure: Prefab, Modular, and the Future of Resilient Design Under Pressure. Architecture is evolving faster than ever, driven by natural disasters, technology, and client expectations—but how do designers balance innovation with risk, regulation, and lifestyle priorities? Josh Cooperman hosts an unfiltered conversation with Drew Davis, Brian Pinkett, Aaron Neubert, and Joseph Dangaran about prefabrication, modular construction, client programming, and the challenges of rebuilding communities in fire- and flood-prone regions. From the Palisades to Paris, they explore how architecture must adapt—or risk falling behind. 1. Introduction and Context Host introduction: Josh Cooperman, Convo By Design. Acknowledgements: Kim Gordon Designs (venue), Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home (sponsor and industry supporter). Why the discussion matters: natural disasters as a case study in architecture's evolving role. Personal anecdote: Josh's wildfire experience in 1983 highlighting the urgency of resilient design. 2. Guest Introductions Drew Davis, Partner, Kligerman Architecture & Design, NYC – Residential expertise nationwide. Brian Pinkett, Principal, Landry Design Group – High-end, global custom homes, with focus on innovation and sustainability. Aaron Neubert, Principal, Annex – Residential and hospitality projects in LA & Las Vegas. Joseph Dangaran, Founding Partner, Woods & Dangaran– West Coast single-family homes, high-end interiors. 3. Critical Thinking vs. Design Education Discussion of Brian Pinkett's insight: architecture school teaches critical thinking, not design itself. How critical thinking shapes the conversation about innovation and client expectations. The influence of NIMBYism and cultural resistance on design risk-taking. 4. Client Literacy and Innovation How clients' exposure to Instagram, travel, and boutique experiences shapes design expectations. Balancing aspirational ideas with practical constraints: budget, schedule, site conditions. Scenario-based design and programming as a tool to understand lifestyle priorities. 5. Prefabrication and Modular Construction Defining terms: prefabrication vs. modular, and their misconceptions in high-end architecture. Historical examples: Eiffel Tower (prefabricated in 1889), Wallace Neff bubble homes. Case studies: past Malibu prefab project, Arts District hotel project. Discussion of benefits (speed, quality, cost) and challenges (flexibility, client acceptance, perception). 6. Lifestyle vs. Shelter in Rebuilds How trauma and loss after disasters impact client priorities. The tension between rebuilding for necessity vs. recreating lifestyle and memory. Temporary housing solutions and lessons from disaster response (Shigeru Ban, Fresno pre-approved plans). 7. The Role of Regulation in Innovation Flood, fire, and safety regulations: both barriers and catalysts for creativity. Discussion of over-regulation and its impact on rebuilding efficiency, particularly in high-demand areas like Pacific Palisades. 8. The Future of Architectural Innovation Emerging materials, prefabrication, and modular design for high-end custom homes. How technology enables flexibility and quality at scale. The challenge of evolving architectural vernacular to reflect contemporary technology. The importance of balancing client desires, regulatory frameworks, and architectural creativity. 9. Closing Thoughts Necessity drives invention, but adaptation and education are key. Designers' role in guiding clients through uncertainty and risk. Encouragement to rethink traditional paradigms: innovation in practice, materials, and process. 10. Callouts / Quotes for Social Media “Innovation isn't about change for change's sake—it's about solving the problem you didn't know existed.” – Brian Pinkett “Prefabrication isn't a compromise. It's a new way to design for speed, quality, and scale.” – Aaron Neubert “The goal isn't just shelter. The goal is lifestyle.” – Joseph Dangaran 11.

Episode Summary In this episode of The Jabot Podcast, host Kathryn Rubino sits down with public defender, reform advocate, and author Emily Galvin Almanza to discuss her new book The Price of Mercy: Unfair Trials, a Broken System, and a Public Defender's Search for Justice in America. Emily shares her unexpected path into law, her deep commitment to criminal defense, and the emotional realities of representing clients navigating one of the most consequential systems in American society. Drawing from years in public defense and her work co-founding Partners for Justice, she explains why the criminal legal system often punishes instability rather than crime — and how policy choices, not individual morality, frequently determine who enters the system. The conversation explores burnout among defenders, systemic misconceptions about criminal courts, the role of compassion in policy reform, and the economic and social costs of incarceration. Ultimately, the episode reframes justice not as punishment, but as a question of public safety, community stability, and human dignity.

Climate isn't “over.” But building in climate has entered a new chapter, defined by shifting regulation, politicized narratives, buyer confusion, and a market that funded dozens of overlapping platforms.In this episode, Andreas and co-host Carmel Rafaeli, Founding Partner at The Table, sit down with Lubomila Jordanova, Co-founder & CEO of Plan A, just weeks after Plan Ajoined forces with Diginex, the NASDAQ-listed sustainability technology company, at the end of 2025.The conversation is part of Leaders Shaping a Resilient Planet, a series spotlighting exceptional founders in climate tech who happen to be women. The focus is not identity as a theme, but execution as a discipline. These are operators building in some of the most complex and capital-intensive parts of the real economy.This is not an acquisition recap.

Is Europe's defense investment wave real, or is it simply venture capital wrapped in a Ukrainian flag?The debate featured Nicholas Nelson, General Partner at Archangel Ventures, and Sebastian von Ribbentrop, Founding Partner at Join Capital.At stake is more than narrative. It is about capability, returns, sovereignty — and the structural future of European capital markets.Until recently, defense investing in Europe was controversial. Many institutional LPs avoided the sector. ESG mandates were interpreted narrowly. Defense was often softened under the label “dual-use.” Russia's invasion of Ukraine changed the landscape. Defense budgets rose. Political rhetoric shifted. Venture capital began flowing into the sector at unprecedented levels.But the central question remains:Is this a structural capital reallocation — or a short-term momentum trade?The debate crystallizes around one fault line: defense-first vs dual-use.Nicholas argues Europe's hesitation to embrace defense-first investing is both strategically and financially misguided. Defense-only startups, he contends, have historically outperformed. Dual-use often dilutes focus by forcing two distinct go-to-market motions. Real capability requires designing directly for the warfighter — not adapting commercial products later. In his view, dual-use in Europe often functions as a reputational hedge rather than a strategy.Sebastian counters that dual-use is not compromise — it is risk management. Advanced technologies can serve both industrial and defense customers without duplicating entire teams. Diversified revenue reduces concentration risk. Non-dilutive defense contracts can substitute late-stage equity rounds in a region where growth capital remains thin. And Europe's comparative advantage may lie less in building vertically integrated primes — and more in dominating high-precision subsystems.As the conversation escalates, it moves beyond product strategy into a deeper structural issue: scale capital. Even where early-stage defense investment has improved, later-stage funding remains limited. Several leading European defense startups have relied heavily on US or Middle Eastern growth capital.Which raises uncomfortable questions:Can Europe build independent defense champions without foreign growth capital?Will its strongest companies inevitably “pick a flag” as they scale?Is fragmentation across 30+ procurement regimes Europe's structural disadvantage?Without coordination at scale, even strong early-stage ecosystems struggle to produce global champions.What's covered:00:30 Framing the question — structural shift or narrative trade?02:00 From taboo to trend — ESG optics and the Ukraine inflection point04:15 Defense-first vs dual-use — the core strategic divide07:30 The defense-first case — focus, procurement alignment, and capability building11:00 The dual-use counterargument — diversification and risk management14:30 Subsystems vs primes — where Europe's advantage may lie18:00 The growth capital gap — reliance on US and Middle Eastern funding21:00 “Picking a flag” — sovereignty vs scale23:30 Procurement fragmentation — 30+ regimes and scaling friction26:00 Final takeaway — Europe's defense future depends on capital conviction and coordination

Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, Victor Sozio, Founding Partner, and Matt Swerdlow, Senior Director in the Capital Services Group, discuss New York City's multifamily market and the findings of Ariel Property Advisors' Multifamily Year In Review New York City 2025.Highlights include:Total dollar volume was relatively unchanged year-over-year, totaling $8.91 billion in 2025 compared to $9.1 billion in 2024.Free market buildings led multifamily sales citywide, accounting for 66% of dollar volume and 48% of transactions. Rent stabilized assets followed in deal frequency (47%) but trailed in value (20%), while affordable housing rounded out the market with 13% of the volume and 6% of transactions.Capital rewarded free-market housing with rising valuations, affordable housing remained active through strong public-private alignment and rent-stabilized assets traded at steep discounts as NOI eroded under policy and cost pressures.The rent-stabilized sector continued to grapple with regulations, rising costs and mortgage maturities at higher rates. Many banks are focusing on free market transactions, office transactions, retail transactions, and assets that aren't regulated.The multifamily market will see increased liquidity in 2026 as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will each have $88 billion to lend for a total of $176 billion.

With leverage unwinding and basis trades breaking, long-time bitcoin holders are distributing to institutional buyers who, by 13F data, are mostly underwater. The mood across digital assets is bleak. Against that backdrop, Nic Carter of Castle Island Ventures argues that key Bitcoin narratives have quietly failed—and warns that developers' inaction on quantum risk could open the door to institutional control.

Most people think a “hot” M&A market means: inflated prices, reckless buyers, and deals that will eventually fall apart. That's not what we're seeing in aerospace and defense right now. What we're watching instead is something far more unusual and powerful. Every major segment of the industry is firing at once. Defense, commercial aviation, business jets, and space are all growing simultaneously.  The companies coming to market aren't missing forecasts; they're beating them. Buyers aren't walking away when things get hard. They're leaning in, working through issues that used to kill deals, because they know something fundamental has changed. This is not a fragile bubble. It's a structural shift. Capacity is the new currency. The players who survived COVID are full, booked, and unable to meet demand. Strategic buyers are no longer just chasing IP; they're buying throughput, people, certifications, and physical capabilities.  At the same time, private equity has specialized at a level we've never seen before, building aerospace-only platforms that can compete head-to-head with strategics. The middle market, once an “hourglass” with little depth, is filling in fast. And when you zoom out, the macro picture makes it even more obvious. Public aerospace and defense companies are trading at premiums to the broader market. Commercial launches into orbit are compounding at extraordinary rates. Aircraft production is rising sharply, engine backlogs stretch for years, and defense spending remains structurally elevated.  And across all of it, the barriers to entry have created enormous moats that protect the entire ecosystem. In this episode, I sit down again with Bill Alderman and Ryan Kirby from Alderman & Co to unpack what's really happening inside the middle-market aerospace and defense deal environment, and why, for the first time in decades, every major segment is moving in the same direction.   You'll also learn; Why “high prices” don't mean a fragile market, and what actually signals stability How capacity has replaced IP as the most valuable acquisition driver Why deals that once died in diligence are now getting done What's changed in private equity's role in aerospace and defense How the middle market is reshaping the industry's “hourglass” structure The data behind the explosive growth in space launches and aircraft production Why public market multiples confirm (not contradict) the M&A environment How pure-play spin-offs and carve-outs may redefine the next wave of consolidation The hidden risk facing the defense industrial base: labor, not demand Why the biggest threat to the market isn't visible yet, and what “Black Swan” really means for M&A   About the Guests William H. Alderman (Bill) is the Founding Partner of Alderman & Company. Bill is an M&A specialist in the middle market of the aerospace and defense industry with over $2 billion in mergers and acquisition-related transactions to his name.

Last night, TDs debated the Government's latest Residential Tenancies Bill, which will see rents capped at two per cent annually for all homes except new apartments. But will this new bill actually help solve the rental crisis, or will it in fact cause greater issues for Ireland's housing supply? All to discuss with Colm Lauder, Founding Partner at Lauder Teacher and Contributor with the Business Post.

It was a pleasure to welcome Louis Gave, the Founding Partner and CEO of Gavekal, back to the Alpha Exchange. Our discussion centers on what he describes as one of the most consequential and underappreciated macro developments today: the mispricing—and now the policy shift—of the Chinese renminbi. Louis is quite bullish on China.Louis argues that for much of the past decade, China has acted as a powerful deflationary force on the global economy. In response to US trade restrictions, Chinese policymakers redirected domestic savings away from real estate and toward industrial capacity. This dual dynamic—collapsing real-estate activity alongside surging industrial investment—produced a deflationary impulse that many underestimated.A central feature of this adjustment was a deliberately undervalued currency. Despite large trade surpluses, the renminbi remained weak even as inflation diverged sharply between China and the United States. Louise describes this as one of the clearest examples of a “wrong price” in global markets, particularly when measured against purchasing-power indicators such as housing, transportation, and services.The discussion highlights a notable inflection point: the renminbi has recently begun to strengthen, signaling a shift in policy stance. According to Louis, this change has important implications for global asset prices. A strengthening currency in China alters incentives for capital deployment, challenges the appeal of holding US dollar cash, and reinforces broader reflationary trends already visible across commodities, yield curves, and financial assets.I hope you enjoy this episode of the Alpha Exchange, my conversation with Louis Gave.

Louisiana's congressional districts, which it redrew following the 2020 census, currently sit in a state of legal uncertainty.The map initially only had one majority-black district. However, following a 2022 case called Robinson v. Ardoin (later Laundry), which held that it violated section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, Louisiana re-drew the map to include two majority-black congressional districts.In January 2024, a different set of plaintiffs sued alleging the new map violated the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The case rose to SCOTUS and was heard as a part of the OT24 term. The issues before the Court included (1) Whether the majority of the three-judge district court in this case erred in finding that race predominated in the Louisiana legislature’s enactment of S.B. 8; (2) whether the majority erred in finding that S.B. 8 fails strict scrutiny; (3) whether the majority erred in subjecting S.B. 8 to the preconditions specified in Thornburg v. Gingles; and (4) whether this action is non-justiciable.On June 27, 2025, rather than issue a decision on the case, the Supreme Court issued an order restoring the case to the OT 25 calendar for reargument. This time, the Court has explicitly granted the question of "Whether Louisiana’s intentional creation of a second majority-minority congressional district violates the 14th or 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution."

John is joined by one of the most famous litigators in the world, David Boies, Chairman and Founding Partner of Boies Schiller Flexner.  They discuss David's career, unique aspects of trial work, and the challenges of transitioning leadership in law firms.  David describes his early years at Cravath, Swaine & Moore, LLP, where he became a partner in 1972, and his founding of Boies Schiller in 1997.  He candidly discusses the aging process, especially the balance that exists between somewhat diminishing memory and the ever-improving judgment that comes with experience.  Despite plans to step down as Chairman of his firm at the end of the year, David remains engaged in high-stakes litigation, particularly cases which may improve society, such as marriage equality and sex trafficking litigation.   John and David also discuss trial advocacy.  David believes that trials are both morality plays and peculiar searches for truth, shaped by a unique decision-making process that excludes jurors with specialized knowledge and forbids them from seeking knowledge in the ways they are accustomed to.  They also discuss the unique pressures on courtroom lawyers, including the need to say everything right in real time, having a professional constantly trying to make you look bad, a jury that studies everything you say or do, and clients watching whose fortune or liberty depends on your performance.  John and David also discuss the business of law, critiquing the hourly billing model and reflecting on the challenges of aligning client and firm interests in alternative fee arrangements.  They agree that legal practice, while demanding, remains intellectually and personally rewarding.  David also offers his thoughts on his late friend and sometimes adversary Ted Olson, whose integrity, warmth, and professionalism left a lasting impact.  Finally, John and David discuss the possibility of a follow-up to David's book Courting Justice, which chronicled significant cases from his career in light of the major cases he has had in the years since the book was published.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

This week on The Data Minute, Peter sits down with Arian Ghashghai, Founding Partner at Earthling VC, to discuss his thesis of investing in "weird stuff early."Arian explains why he bets on robotic oyster farms, virtual reality, and ocean exploration when other investors are chasing the latest consensus trends. He breaks down his "pirate ship" approach to venture capital and why being the first check is often more valuable to a founder than being the "most helpful."They also discuss the current state of the VC market and why Arian believes many funds have shifted from true long-term investing to short-term trading. Plus, Arian shares his unfiltered advice on raising from LPs, why he ignores "signaling risk" from big funds, and why Zurich might have a higher talent density than San Francisco.Subscribe to Carta's weekly Data Minute newsletter: https://carta.com/subscribe/data-newsletter-sign-up/Explore interactive startup and VC data, with Carta's Data Desk: https://carta.com/data-desk/Chapters:00:00 – Intro: Investing in weird stuff02:07 – Intro to Earthling VC02:47 – The "weird stuff early" thesis03:57 – Who are the LPs backing weird tech?05:47 – Why VR is a polarizing investment08:55 – The value of transparency with LPs10:49 – Case study: Robotic oyster farms14:36 – Do LPs push back on style drift?16:06 – Why keep the fund size small?18:50 – Portfolio construction: Diversified vs. Concentrated19:56 – Fundraising advice: Find alignment, don't convince25:46 – Can a solo GP really support 50 companies?28:42 – The three types of investors: Biggest, First, Helpful30:50 – Speed as a competitive advantage33:03 – Why Safe caps are just demand-driven prices34:11 – The cynicism of modern venture capital38:02 – Are VCs investing or just trading?41:31 – Do we need more VCs?46:41 – Avoiding consensus deal flow48:17 – Why Zurich is an underrated tech hub50:50 – Why founders love explicit investorsThis presentation contains general information only and eShares, Inc. dba Carta, Inc.

What if your financial advisor cared less about beating benchmarks and more about the family tree, mission, and life you're actually building?   In this episode of the Registered Investment Advisor Podcast, Seth Greene interviews Tyson Ray, CFP®, CExP®, CIMA®, CEO and Founding Partner of FORM Wealth Advisors, who shares how an eviction notice on his family's fridge shaped a mission-driven approach to money. As the author of The Total Relationship and the forthcoming Total Succession, Tyson explains why real advisory work starts with family, occupation, recreation, and mission—not pie charts, past performance, or product pitches. He shares insights into scaling past a billion in assets, fixing painful missteps with clients and the team, and preparing both families and advisors for the next great wave of wealth transfer.   Key Takeaways: → How FORM Wealth Advisors structures reviews and planning to reflect the actual shape of a client's life. → Why advisors stop selling last week's winning lottery numbers and start owning real-life responsibility for clients. → How FORM Wealth Advisors serves every branch of the family tree and why that has been vital to the firm's growth.   → Why cutting “smaller” clients can erode trust in a close-knit community. → How inheritances split one large relationship into many smaller ones.   Tyson Ray, CFP®, CExP®, CIMA®, CEO, and Founding Partner of FORM Wealth Advisors, has developed extensive expertise in investment management, financial planning, and business exit strategies, earning recognition from Forbes, Barron's, and AdvisorHub as a top advisor. Tyson also actively contributes to his community through philanthropic initiatives, including Children's World Impact. His journey began at Badger High School, where, as a sophomore, he invested $100 in mutual funds, sparking a lifelong passion for financial strategy. After graduating from the University of West Florida, he returned to Southern Wisconsin to launch his career in financial services.

My guest on today's episode, James Copple, the President of Servant Forge and founder of The Freedom Fast, is a leader committed to fostering unity through actionable change. James's work in police reform and civic engagement offers a blueprint for addressing systemic issues and healing divides within our communities.James shared a compelling example of how his work has impacted the nation. Six months before the murder of George Floyd, James and his team produced a report in Minnesota on police use of deadly force. “It was about policing procedure and protocol,” James explained, sharing how their research highlighted the urgent need for de-escalation training. Following Floyd's death, James and his team were invited back to help implement their recommendations, working with policymakers to improve training and minimize future tragedies.One of James's newest initiatives, The Freedom Fast, aims to address the country's growing polarization. Inspired by historical calls for national fasting during the Continental Congress, the Freedom Fast encourages Americans to pause, reflect, and engage in acts of service. “We're calling for a sacred pause for civic renewal,” James said. “It's about recapturing the values that brought us together as a country and influenced our civic discourse.”James's vision is rooted in the belief that dialogue is key to progress. “Getting people in the same room, even when they don't agree, is essential,” he shared. This approach—proximity and listening—has been central to his work, from police reform projects in Minneapolis and Kenya to initiatives aimed at reducing gender-based violence in East Africa.If you're inspired by James's vision and want to be part of the solution, visit TheFreedomFast.us to learn more. By taking part in this initiative, we can collectively work toward a more unified, compassionate, and equitable future.tl;dr:James Copple reveals key insights from his work on police reform and de-escalation training.The Freedom Fast calls for Americans to pause, reflect, and engage in acts of civic renewal.James emphasizes the importance of bringing people together to solve problems through dialogue.Stories from Kenya and Minneapolis illustrate how dialogue can drive meaningful change.James shares tips for fostering civility and connection, including listening and creating proximity.How to Develop Facilitating Dialogue As a SuperpowerJames's superpower lies in bringing people together to solve difficult problems through dialogue and understanding. As he explained, “Getting people in the same room and getting them to agree to have the conversation” is vital. He emphasized the importance of listening, saying, “Listening is a form of fasting… to surrender my own principles and values for a few moments to listen to another person's perspective.” This ability to foster connection and encourage open discussions has been central to James's work in both the U.S. and globally.James shared a powerful example from his work in Kenya, where 70% of women believed men had a right to hit them. He brought together male leaders from universities and businesses with women's advocacy groups to discuss gender-based violence. This dialogue led to concrete solutions like including women in decision-making processes and leadership roles. James's ability to create proximity and facilitate understanding directly contributed to meaningful change in a community struggling with entrenched cultural norms.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Engage and Be Present: Show up for conversations, even when topics are difficult or divisive.Listen Actively: Dedicate time to truly hear others' perspectives without judgment or interruption.Foster Proximity: Create opportunities for people with differing views to engage in the same room.Sacrifice for the Greater Good: Be willing to let go of time, comfort, or preconceived notions to achieve progress.By following James's example and advice, you can make facilitating dialogue a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

What if "thriving" isn't a soft concept—but a measurable performance advantage? In this episode, Peter Winick sits down with Jon Rosemberg, Founding Partner of Anther and author of "A Guide to Thriving: The Science Behind Breaking Old Patterns, Reclaiming Your Agency, and Finding Meaning", to break down what thriving really is, what it is not, and why leaders should care right now. Jon draws a sharp line between thriving and "success." Success can be the big house, the title, the milestones. Thriving is different. It's a state where you're calm, connected to others, and able to create. It's when you can access the best of your thinking and show up as yourself—not as a reactive version of yourself. They explore the practical business implications. Jon frames thriving as the condition that makes proactive leadership possible. Less reactivity. More intentionality. Better decisions. He also positions "flow" as a subset of thriving—useful, but not the whole story. Then the conversation gets strategic. Jon introduces agency as the lever that moves people from survival mode to thriving: the capacity to make intentional choices. And he connects it directly to strategy. Real strategy is not doing everything. It's making clear choices—and just as importantly, choosing what you will not do. For leaders building teams, Jon highlights the shift from productive value to relational value. Your job stops being "do the work." Your job becomes "enable others to do their best work." When teams are thriving, performance rises. When organizations treat well-being as a KPI, it becomes a competitive advantage—not a perk. Finally, Jon reframes thriving as a spiral, not a finish line. Markets change. Crises hit. AI reshapes work. The goal isn't to "arrive" at thriving. The goal is to build the capacity to return to it faster—and lead through uncertainty with more clarity, nuance, and adaptability. Three Key Takeaways: • Thriving has a precise definition. It's not "success" or status; it's being calm, connected, and creative—able to access better thinking and show up authentically. • Agency is the lever. Moving from survival mode to thriving starts with the capacity to make intentional choices—and that maps directly to strategy in business. • Thriving changes performance at the team level. Leaders shift from their own productivity to relational value—enabling others to do their best work—which increases team performance. If Jon's episode got you focused on thriving through agency, go next to Episode 156 with Linda Henman for the "now what?" Linda is all about making tough, high-stakes decisions—fast and well—so you can turn intentional choice into real strategy. Together, they pair thriving as the mindset with decision-making as the skill that makes it real.
