In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. Scott Kennedy joins us to discuss the recent escalation in tariffs between the U.S. and China. Dr. Kennedy starts with laying out the current situation, as it was on April 14th when the podcast was recorded, with the Trump administration placing 145% tariffs on China and China retaliating with roughly 125 % tariffs on the United States. Dr. Kennedy notes that this level of escalation is not what many experts expected and explains that many in China believe that the U.S. is using the tariffs to drive the U.S. and China into economic war and to confront and isolate China on all dimensions. Further, he explains that during the first Trump administration, tariffs were used mainly as a negotiation tool, yet in Trump's second term, it seems tariffs are being used in an attempt to remake the global economic architecture. Dr. Kennedy believes that the tariffs are working to boost China's international image and the current turbulence in U.S. domestic politics has worked to change domestic opinion in China on the United States. At the same time, China is trying to cast itself as a more predictable international actor. Dr. Kennedy believes that at some point, there will be a deal between the U.S. and China that will lower or remove the reciprocal tariffs. However, this deal will likely be superficial and will not address the key problems in this bilateral relationship. Dr. Scott Kennedy is senior adviser and trustee chair in Chinese Business and Economics at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). A leading authority on Chinese economic policy and U.S.-China commercial relations, Dr. Kennedy has been traveling to China for 37 years. His ongoing areas of focus include China's innovation drive, Chinese industrial policy, U.S.-China relations, and global economic governance. His articles have appeared in a wide array of policy, popular, and academic venues, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, and China Quarterly. Dr. Kennedy hosts the China Field Notes podcast, which features voices from on the ground in China. From 2000 to 2014, Dr. Kennedy was a professor at Indiana University (IU), where he established the Research Center for Chinese Politics and Business and was the founding academic director of IU's China Office. Dr. Kennedy received a PhD in political science from George Washington University, an MA from Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and a BA from the University of Virginia.

Obamacare is back before the Supreme Court in a challenge to its no-cost coverage requirements for certain preventive health services. The justices will weigh the constitutionality of the US Preventive Services Task Force, which recommends the tests and treatments insurers should cover, when they return to the bench on Monday for the April sitting. If the lower court's decision is upheld, "it is possible, given the posture of the case, that over 150 million Americans lose free coverage of hundreds of benefits," said Sara Rosenbaum, an emerita professor of health law and policy at George Washington University. Rosenbaum joins Cases and Controversies hosts Greg Stohr and Lydia Wheeler to talk about why the case is more about power than it is public health and what's at stake if the court does away with the insurance coverage that's caught in its crosshairs.

When we are able to see the full scope of a problem, rather than a fragment, it changes how we respond. Throughout history, comprehensive data has catalyzed transformative change—from the measurements that spurred the halting of ozone depletion to the coral reef monitoring networks that revealed the devastating impacts of ocean acidification. Yet, the average person remains disconnected from visualizing their lifestyle's impact on Earth's systems, leaving an incomplete perception of our collective footprint. But what transformations might occur if we could observe the full consequences of our consumption patterns as they ripple across forests, oceans, and the atmosphere in real time? In this episode, Nate is joined by Will Marshall, co-founder and CEO of Planet Labs. Planet Labs' mission is to capture daily images and real-time data of the entire Earth using a fleet of hundreds of satellites, in order to make global change visible, accessible and actionable. Will shares how this data is being harnessed to tackle environmental challenges like deforestation and reducing methane emissions, and how AI is analyzing it to help governments, NGOs, and businesses make informed – and planet friendly – decisions. Will also emphasizes Planet Labs' commitment to transparency and accountability on a global scale, ultimately aiming to make substantial contributions to the pursuit of Earth's ecological integrity.  How can we harness this extraordinary technological innovation (and others like it) to better fulfill our roles as planetary stewards? What sorts of environmental projects – such as carbon trading or protecting coral reefs – benefit most from this new data? Finally, how are small communities using this data to create targeted, local environmental strategies that will build ecological wealth for future generations?  (Conversation recorded on March 14th, 2025)   About Will Marshall: Will Marshall is the Co-Founder and CEO of Planet Labs, where he leads the overall company strategy and direction. Prior to Planet, Will was a Scientist at NASA/USRA where he was a systems engineer on lunar orbiter mission “LADEE”, a member of the science team for the lunar impactor mission “LCROSS”, served as Co-Principal Investigator on PhoneSat, and was the technical lead on research projects in space debris remediation. Will received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Oxford and his Masters in Physics with Space Science and Technology from the University of Leicester. Will was also a Postdoctoral Fellow at George Washington University and Harvard.   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Send us a textWhat if the secret to restoring balance in our lives mirrors the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park? Join us as we explore the fascinating intersection of ecology and coaching with Dr. Ina Gjikondi, Director of Executive Education at George Washington University and founder of the ECO Leadership Coaching Program.Drawing from her doctoral research on ecocentrism in coach education, Ina introduces us to the concept of rewilding – not as something new we must learn, but as remembering what we've forgotten. She shares the powerful story of how wolves restored balance to the Yellowstone ecosystem and uses this as a metaphor for our own journey back to wholeness. "We have an ancient body with a modern mind," Ina explains, highlighting how our disconnection from nature has affected both our personal wellbeing and the planet.The conversation takes a practical turn as Ina offers simple, accessible practices for reconnecting with our wild nature, even from the 32nd floor of an urban high-rise. By engaging our heart intelligence, awakening our senses, and asking open-ended questions like "What is wild in me today?", we can access forgotten wisdom that resides in our bodies. She emphasizes the importance of honoring our first intuitive responses rather than analyzing them, allowing our instincts to guide us rather than our executive function.Particularly moving is Ina's discussion of storytelling as an ancient practice that helps us bear witness to each other's humanity and build community. Through these practices of remembering and reconnecting, we not only heal ourselves but potentially contribute to healing our relationship with Earth. As Ina powerfully concludes: "The wild is not lost. Like the wolf, it is waiting to return. Will you answer the call?" This episode offers both the inspiration and practical tools to help you take that first step.Watch the full interview by clicking here.Find the full article here.Ina has provided a Free Gift to choice listeners to practice for Connecting with the Wild Wolf Archetype to use for coaches for your own development, or use with clients as needed.

China's industrial policy for clean energy has turned the country into a powerhouse of solar, wind, battery, and electric vehicle manufacturing. But long before the country's factories moved global markets — and invited Trump's self-destructive tariffs — the country implemented energy and technology policy to level up its domestic industry. How did those policies work? Which tools worked best? And if the United States needs to rebuild in the wake of Trump's tariffs, what should this country learn? On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse talk with two scholars who have been studying Chinese industrial policy since the Great Recession. Joanna Lewis is the Provost's Distinguished Associate Professor of Energy and Environment and Director of the Science, Technology and International Affairs Program at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. She's also the author of Green Innovation in China. John Paul Helveston is an assistant professor in engineering management and systems engineering at George Washington University. He studies consumer preferences and market demand for new technologies, as well as China's longstanding gasoline car and EV industrial policy. Shift Key is hosted by Robinson Meyer, the founding executive editor of Heatmap, and Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University.Mentioned: Jesse's downshift; Rob's midshift. --Music for Shift Key is by Adam Kromelow.

Today we explore the nebulous world of political consultants. These are the people who run political campaigns. They use a mixture of science and gut-feeling to determine what a candidate should say and do, and in one particular instance, what they should NOT say and do. How do they do it? How effective are they? What actually moves the needle in a campaign? Talking to us today are two campaign experts; David Karpf from the School of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University, and Rasheida Smith, political consultant at Dunton Consulting.  CLICK HERE: Visit our website to see all of our episodes, donate to the podcast, sign up for our newsletter, get free educational materials, and more!To see Civics 101 in book form, check out A User's Guide to Democracy: How America Works by Hannah McCarthy and Nick Capodice, featuring illustrations by Tom Toro.Check out our other weekly NHPR podcast, Outside/In - we think you'll love it!

The Trump Administration's approach inherited from Silicon Valley of move fast and break things may be able to go unchecked in the business sector. However when done in government there can be certain legal hurdles to account for. Already there are many suits being brought in federal and state courts to challenge some of the White House's actions, much of which involve the cancelling of funding opportunities or work force reductions. It begs the question, can the judicial branch handle this new workload that will come from settling these disputes, and making sure their decisions are respected? For some perspective on this, we welcome Richard Pierce a law professor with George Washington University. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

There are two guests on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. Dr. Justin Frank is a former professor of psychiatry at George Washington University. He is the author of several books including Trump on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Dr. Frank returns to the podcast and explains the importance of listening to and trusting our feelings and emotions in this time of fear, exhaustion, and collective trauma. Dr. Frank also interprets some of the common dreams that people experience during times of great stress and anxiety. He also shares his expert advice about how to be a good listener who gives useful advice to those who reach out to us for help. Rev. Adam Russell Taylor is president of Sojourners and author of A More Perfect Union: A New Vision for Building the Beloved Community. He explains how the Age of Trump is an extreme moral, political, and spiritual crisis. Rev. Taylor warns that the Christian right-wing is now implementing a decades-long plan to remake the country into a Christofascist theocracy and that Trump's rise to power has made that possible. Rev. Taylor also shares the importance of spiritual discipline and how it can empower collective action in what will be a long struggle to renew and defend American freedom and social democracy in this time of darkness. Chauncey DeVega explains  the German concept of Gleichschaltung (“synchronization”) and how it applies to Trumpism and the larger American neofascist revolutionary project to remake all aspects of the country's politics, culture and life. Chauncey struggles with his love of professional wrestling and great excitement about how John Cena has finally, after 25 years, turned “heel” versus the reality that the WWE has many connections with the Trump administration and this time of horribleness.   And Chauncey DeVega also shares some stories about the everyday heroes he recently encountered in his neighborhood and travels.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Ding joins us to discuss U.S.-China artificial intelligence (AI) competition and his book, Technology and the Rise of Great Powers: How Diffusion Shapes Economic Competition. Dr. Ding describes the framework he uses to understand the competition between the US and China on AI and explains that while many assume leading a technological competition comes from developing the next breakthrough invention, it should actually be centered around the diffusion of these technologies throughout their population of users. Technological leadership, therefore, depends on which country can best transfer and spread innovation from its top firms to the entire economy more effectively. Dr. Ding notes that China prioritizes an innovation-centric approach while neglecting broad-based technical and STEM education. He finds that the United States is better positioned than China to adopt and diffuse AI across a broad spectrum of sectors, given that more U.S. training institutions meet a quality baseline compared to China's. Dr. Ding advises that since the United States is better positioned to diffuse AI technologies throughout its economy, it should focus on “running fast” rather than restricting China's access to advanced technologies. Finally, Dr. Ding recommends that Washington focus on education policy, widening the base of AI engineers by increasing training sites, supporting public-private partnerships, and helping SMEs develop their AI capabilities. Dr. Jeffrey Ding is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at George Washington University, and the author of Technology and the Rise of Great Power: How Diffusion Shapes Economic Competition. Previously, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation, sponsored by Stanford's Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. His research has been published or is forthcoming at European Journal of International Security, Foreign Affairs, Review of International Political Economy, and Security Studies, and his work has been cited in The Washington Post, The Financial Times, and other outlets. He also writes a weekly "ChinAI" newsletter, which features translations of Chinese conversations about AI development, to 12,000+ subscribers including the field's leading policymakers, scholars, and journalists. Dr. Ding holds a Ph.D in international relations from Oxford University, where he studied as a Rhodes scholar.

On this week's episode of the podcast, Scott Williamson of the University of Oxford joins Marc Lynch to discuss his new book, The King Can Do No Wrong: Blame Games and Power Sharing in Authoritarian Regimes. This book stresses the importance of understanding autocratic blame games. Scott Williamson argues that how autocrats share power affects their ability to shift blame, so that they are less vulnerable to the public's grievances when they delegate decision-making powers to other political elites.  Music for this season's podcast was created by Feras Arrabi.

“Many people with autism gravitate toward leadership because of the traits and values of our culture… We're born leaders because we're born to see world-building vision.” Today, we are joined by autistic advocate and host of the Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr. Angela Kingdon. Angela drops a science/history lesson, a ton of pop culture references, and some much-needed thoughts on neurodiversity in the workplace and leadership.Listen in to find out:- What Angela's learned about herself and this awesome community since being diagnosed in 2012.- Why understanding the things neurodivergent folks have to know about themselves (to accommodate their environments) would benefit 100% of people, neurodivergent or not.- The horrifying story of why we don't use the term Asperger's anymore.- Why leaders must develop cultural literacy around differences (aside from the fact that it benefits them too).- Some great anecdotes about autistic people, inventions, and culture.“Autistics have been around forever – they created the first stone tools, but it wasn't a label or diagnosis until 1943.”“Taylor Swift and her great aunt, Emily Dickinson, are both perfect examples of autistic traits.”“When people are neurotypical, they're so used to assuming their way is the way. One-size-fits-all isn't real, and that does need to shift.”—Dr. Angela Kingdon is a dynamic autistic advocate, author, and speaker, renowned for her impactful work in promoting neurodiversity and supporting autistic individuals. As the host of the Autistic Culture Podcast, Angela shares her experiences and insights as a late-diagnosed autistic person, aiming to create a more inclusive and understanding society.Angela's journey began with a diagnosis at the age of 39, which she describes as a turning point that allowed her to embrace her unique neurodiverse perspective fully.

Her advocacy extends beyond her professional work. She actively engages with audiences through social media platforms and her podcast, sharing her story and encouraging others to understand and embrace neurodiversity.

Honeycomb Credit, an SEC-registered FINRA member crowdfunding portal, is changing that by enabling everyday investors to support businesses in their communities while earning a return.George Cook, Co-Founder and CEO of Honeycomb Credit, understands the barriers entrepreneurs face. Coming from a family that has operated a community bank for over 130 years, he saw firsthand the difficulties businesses encounter when seeking funding. "Small businesses are more than just a number," George explained. "Yes, financials are critical, but so are qualitative values like how a business treats its customers and employees."Unlike traditional banks, which rely primarily on financial metrics, Honeycomb Credit takes a community-driven approach. Entrepreneurs who apply for funding go through a vetting process before launching campaigns on the platform. Investors, often local supporters, vote with their wallets by investing as little as $100 in businesses they believe in. This creates a dual-layer assessment—both financial and community validation—that increases the likelihood of long-term success.One of the platform's defining characteristics is its flexibility. Unlike banks that impose rigid repayment structures, Honeycomb allows investors and business owners to collaborate on solutions if a business faces financial difficulties. George described a recent situation where an entrepreneur needed to restructure payments: "We take a lot of pride in our democratic approach. Investors, who believe in the business, get to weigh in on whether to adjust terms or pursue collections. This gives businesses a chance to stabilize and recover, often leading to a better outcome for both sides."Beyond financing, Honeycomb is making a significant impact in supporting diverse entrepreneurs. Over 80% of the businesses on the platform are minority-, women-, or veteran-owned, highlighting the extent to which traditional funding sources have overlooked these groups. "To know that Honeycomb is playing a role in leveling the playing field is really rewarding," George said.With the recent acquisition of Raise Green, a platform focused on climate-related investments, Honeycomb is expanding its impact investing opportunities. This move aligns with its mission of democratizing access to capital while allowing individuals to invest in alignment with their values. "Impact investing isn't just for the wealthy," George emphasized. "With Honeycomb, anyone can invest in their community and in causes they care about."Honeycomb Credit's model is proving that financial returns and community impact can go hand in hand. By empowering entrepreneurs and mobilizing local investors, it's fostering economic growth while giving individuals the opportunity to be part of the success stories in their communities.tl;dr:Honeycomb Credit empowers small businesses by enabling community-driven investments with as little as $100.George emphasizes the importance of qualitative factors in assessing a business's long-term success.The platform fosters financial inclusivity, with over 80% of funded businesses being minority- or women-owned.Honeycomb Credit's acquisition of Raise Green expands its impact investing opportunities in the climate sector.George's superpower, stability under pressure, helps him lead through challenges and inspire his team.How to Develop Stability Under Pressure As a SuperpowerGeorge's superpower is stability under pressure. As the Co-Founder and CEO of Honeycomb Credit, he has cultivated the ability to remain steady amid the constant ups and downs of entrepreneurship."Being an entrepreneur means you can have the best call of your life in the morning and face an existential crisis by the afternoon," George explained. His ability to maintain composure, lift his team when times are tough, and stay humble when things go well has been key to his success. He believes that leadership requires a stabilizing presence, both for employees and the small business owners Honeycomb supports.A prime example of his superpower in action came during Honeycomb's acquisition of Raise Green. With significant changes happening within the company, George faced the challenge of ensuring his team remained aligned and engaged. "One of my mentors told me, ‘If you repeat yourself so many times that you're sick of it, that's when the team is just starting to hear you,'" he shared. By consistently reinforcing the vision and expectations, he provided clarity and direction during a crucial transition, keeping both employees and stakeholders focused on the long-term mission.For those looking to develop this superpower, George offered practical advice:Stay in the moment. Avoid letting your mind race ahead to the next challenge. Focus on solving one problem at a time.Use deep breathing. Before entering a meeting, take three deep breaths to ground yourself and reset your focus.Communicate with consistency. Repeat key messages frequently to ensure your team fully understands and internalizes them.Stay humble. Celebrate wins but don't let them cloud your judgment. Likewise, don't let failures shake your confidence.By following George's example and advice, you can make stability under pressure 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.
