Podcasts about good ideas

TVC 719.4: Ed welcomes Tom Sturges, son of Academy Award-winning writer/director Preston Sturges, one of the top executives in the music industry, and the author of such books as Every Idea is a Good Idea, A Good Divorce Begins Here, and Preston Sturges: The Last Years of Hollywood's First Writer-Director. Tom's latest book, Men Explained... Finally, is a humorous, totally unscientific, and yet often very wise look at the male species that reveals such universal Man Truths as Why All Men are Really Fourteen Year-Old-Boys, Why Men Are Like Whales, Why All Men Have Three Basic Needs, and Why Every Problem in the World Can Be Solved with Duct Tape. Topics this segment how Tom's thirty-five years in the music business has helped him develop many of the observations about men that appear in Men Explained... Finally; how the key to survival for most men comes from their ability to compartmentalize; and why the goal of Tom's book is to help men have better relationships with the women in their lives. Men Explained... Finally is available wherever books are sold through Centimilla Press.

In this episode of The Science of Creativity, Keith Sawyer talks with Dr. Hansika Kapoor about the psychology of dark creativity — how the same cognitive processes that generate brilliant ideas can also lead to deception, manipulation, or harm. Kapoor explains that creativity itself is amoral: it can be directed toward good or bad outcomes depending on intent and context. Their conversation spans the neuroscience of lying, the overlap between moral and creative cognition, and the role of cultural factors in shaping creative expression. They also discuss recent findings on the "art bias," on using creativity tests in college admissions, and about the cultural practice of jugard in Indian culture. Dr. Kapoor has been a Research Author at the Department of Psychology, Monk Prayogshala, Mumbai since July 2011. Monk Prayogshala is an independent not-for-profit academic research institute, striving to improve the academic research environment in India, starting with the social sciences. She is also an Affiliate at the Neag School of Education at the University of Connecticut. Her work has been published in several international peer-reviewed academic journals, such as Creativity Research Journal, Thinking Skills and Creativity, and Personality and Individual Differences (here's her CV). She also regularly contribute to popular media publications, including Psychology Today, Mint, and The Wire (complete list). Key topics include: • The concept of dark creativity and its ethical implications • Creativity, deception, and moral reasoning in the brain • Cultural perspectives on creativity in India and the idea of jugard • Creativity as a predictor of educational success • The "art bias" and everyday creativity For additional information: Dr. Kapoor's web site Dr. Kapoor's Psychology Today blog Music by license from SoundStripe: "Uptown Lovers Instrumental" by AFTERNOONZ "Miss Missy" by AFTERNOONZ "What's the Big Deal" by Ryan Saranich Copyright (c) 2025 Keith Sawyer

Structure isn't a formatting exercise. It's the foundation of every clear, persuasive communication. Whether you're giving a presentation, writing an email, or leading a meeting, structure is the difference between an idea that gets ignored and an idea that creates action. In the latest episode of Conversations on Careers and Professional Life, we explore why structure matters so profoundly — and how leaders, students, and professionals can use it to communicate with more clarity and impact. Why Structure Matters Human beings aren't wired to process information in random fragments. We make sense of the world through stories — beginnings, middles, and ends. As you put it in the episode, we're not "data digesters"; we're storytellers. And when communication wanders, attention wanders with it. A clear structure reduces cognitive friction. It guides your audience through the idea. It shows respect for their time and sets you apart as someone who thinks and leads with intention. The Universal Arc: Beginning → Middle → End The classic story shape applies perfectly to business communication: Beginning: What's the point? Middle: Why does it matter? End: What should we do? In practice, this means starting with your main idea — the recommendation, insight, or conclusion — and only then walking people through the reasoning. This mirrors the Pyramid Principle, but it also aligns with how executives think: give me the destination first, then show me the path. A Simple Structure That Works Everywhere: What → So What → Now What You referenced Matt Abrahams' framework from Think Faster, Talk Smarter: What: The headline or central idea So What: The significance — why it matters Now What: The implication or action This structure keeps communication focused and future-oriented. It helps audiences quickly understand context, importance, and next steps. And when you use it, people stop interrupting with "What's your point?" because you've already answered it. Slide Structure: One Idea, One Message Every slide should tell a mini-story: A clear title that states the point, not a topic A single idea supported by one graph, chart, or set of bullets Visuals that reinforce your narrative rather than compete with it The slide is scaffolding — not the building. Your voice delivers the narrative; the slide supports it. Meeting Structure: Avoid the Rudderless Hour Unstructured meetings drift. Structured meetings decide. A simple three-bullet agenda can turn an hour-long discussion into a 20-minute decision. Before any meeting, ask: What's the goal? What's the sequence that gets us there? What decisions or actions do we need? Structure creates momentum, momentum creates clarity, and clarity creates action. Editing as Structural Discipline Editing is structuring. This is where Chekhov's Gun becomes a communication tool: remove anything that doesn't serve the message. Ask: If I cut this sentence, slide, or data point, does the meaning change? If not, remove it. Editing isn't erasing work — it's generosity. It gives your audience time and brings clarity. Remember the ABCs! A Simple Method for Structuring Anything Identify your main point. List two or three reasons that support it. Add only the evidence necessary to prove those reasons. Arrange it in a natural sequence — then cut everything else. It's deceptively simple, but rarely done well — and that's why it stands out. The Leadership Signal Ultimately, structure is more than communication mechanics. It's a leadership signal. Structured communicators show that they think clearly, respect their audience, and understand how decisions get made. The episode closes with a reminder worth repeating: Structure isn't just a communication tool. It's a mark of how you think. And it matters more than most people realize.

Washington DC is charging restaurants thousands of dollars to keep their streateries — outdoor dining areas built during Covid-19. Are these fees fair compensation for public space, or will they kill the local businesses they were meant to save? Guest host Norm Van Eeden Petersman dives into this question with Carlee Alm-LaBar, a former city official who helped bring streateries to her own city. ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES "After five years, D.C. streateries hit with higher costs and more rules" by By Tim Carman and Rachel Weiner, The Washington Post (November 2025) Norm Van Eeden Petersman (LinkedIn) Theme Music by Kemet the Phantom.   This podcast is made possible by Strong Towns members. Click here to learn more about membership.

In this episode, Melissa and seasoned investor-builder Josh unveil a powerful new twist on the traditional 1031—what they're calling the “Poor Man's Improvement” (aka the strategy that can create six figures of instant equity while deferring taxes). Josh breaks down how his team helps investors sell a property, roll their gains into a brand-new construction build at builder cost, and walk away with forced equity, stronger cash flow potential, and the option to rinse and repeat to scale faster than ever. Plus, we dig into Florida's steady-growth market, the perks of duplex investing, and why creative strategies—not just cash on hand—separate slow-growth investors from exponential ones.

The latest announcement from the White House is a proposed 50 year amortization loan in order to improve home ownership affordability. This proposal is naturally met with criticism from all sides. The obvious advantage is that the principal portion of the monthly loan payment can be spread over a longer time period and thereby reduce the size of the loan payment. The purists will argue that the amount of interest paid over the life of the loan balloons to unreasonable numbers. Perhaps the largest criticism has been that lower monthly payments will only have the effect of pushing housing prices higher. I personally think that two things would need to happen for that to be true. There is no question that home prices have risen faster than household incomes during the period from 2018-2022. The other argument is that if the amortization is extended to 50 years, it will have the effect of lowering monthly ownership costs which will then cause prices to be bid up to even higher levels outside the affordability of ordinary citizens. Theoretically I understand that argument. But in reality I don't think it will play out that way in practice for several reasons.
