"Recess Therapy" host and creator Julian Shapiro-Barnum's new book helps adults on how to get back in touch with their inner child. It's titled, How to Grow Up Without Becoming a Grown-Up. He joins us to discuss.    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Growing up is supposed to mean getting wiser. So why does it so often feel like losing something you can't quite name? Julian Shapiro-Barnum, the creator of Recess Therapy, thinks kids still have some of the answers. In How to Grow Up Without Becoming a Grown-Up, he asks what happens when we trade emotional honesty, imagination, and hope for the version of adulthood we think we're supposed to perform. Then historian Tobias Becker takes the other side of that longing in Yesterday: A New History of Nostalgia: why we keep reaching for the past—and why “nostalgia” might not mean what we think it does. Two books about growing up, looking back, and what we lose along the way.

What can kids teach us about how to live? This is a topic close to the heart of today's guest, Julian Shapiro-Barnum. An actor and comedian, Julian is perhaps most known for his web series Recess Therapy, in which he interviews children playing outside in New York City. He joins us this week to talk about his new book, How to Grow Up without Becoming a Grown-up. He shares what he has learned from his young interviewees: how to notice the beauty all around you, how to believe you can make a difference in the world, when it's ok to break the rules, and how to fully tap into your imagination. He advocates for the benefits of living a more childish life, one that embraces joy, freedom, spontaneity, and adventure. Find his book here.

Genesis 37, 41-42 — A safe grown-up never asks a child to keep secrets from their parents. Four simple rules every family needs to know. This family integrated church Sunday School lesson equips parents and children together with four clear, memorable rules for protecting children from abuse: real strength protects and never scares, the strongest people are gentle with the weak, a child can always tell if a grown-up's strength scares them, and a safe grown-up never asks a child to keep secrets from their parents. If you've ever wondered how to talk to your children about child safety in a way that's biblical, age-appropriate, and not frightening — this lesson gives you the language. Using Joseph's story in Genesis 37-42, Pastor Fortunato teaches children and parents together to tell the difference between real strength and control, and why gentleness alone is never proof of safety. This teaching walks through Genesis 37 (Joseph sold into slavery), Genesis 41 (Joseph exalted in Egypt), Genesis 42 (Joseph tests his brothers before trusting them), Matthew 10:16 (wise as serpents, harmless as doves), and Proverbs 22:3 (a prudent man foreseeth evil), covering: - Why real strength protects and never scares - Why the strongest people are gentle with those smaller and weaker - What to teach children about appropriate vs. inappropriate touch - Why trust must be earned and proven, like Joseph proved his brothers - Why a safe grown-up never asks a child to keep a secret from their parents - Why gentleness by itself is not proof of safety - How to be "wise as a serpent" — discerning, watchful, hard to deceive

Justin Mares built Kettle & Fire into one of the best known bone broth brands in the country. Then he walked away from it to go after something a lot less exciting on paper: the red tape standing between Americans and the preventive health products that actually keep them well. His new company, Truemed, gives people a simple way to use money they already have set aside for health on things like workouts, better food, and sleep, instead of letting it sit unused or only get spent once they're already sick.Alisa Cohn, executive coach and author of From Start-up to Grown-up, sits down with Justin to talk about why he left a thriving consumer brand to go build something in one of the most regulated, paperwork heavy industries there is. You'll hear how he tests ideas before he feels ready, how he hires for real mission alignment, why he chose venture capital this time around after largely bootstrapping Kettle & Fire, and how he still wrestles with imposter syndrome four companies in.You'll learn:Justin Mares walked away from Kettle & Fire, one of the best known bone broth brands in the country, to go build Truemed instead.Launching an imperfect product, like Justin's ghost landing page for Kettle and Fire built on $500 of ads, beats waiting for a perfect one.Justin chose venture capital over bootstrapping Truemed after growing Kettle and Fire to hundreds of millions in revenue on less than $10 million raised.Hiring your first five to ten people purely for mission alignment shapes every hire that follows, including Truemed's best employee, who found the company through Justin's newsletter.Andreessen Horowitz brought Truemed access to founders and operators that a bootstrapped CEO could never reach cold, well beyond the capital itself.Justin still deals with imposter syndrome after twelve years and four companies, and uses a specific reframe to move from doubt into action.Justin believes startups are fundamentally momentum games, and wishes he had learned to trust his own judgment earlier in his career.We talk about:00:00 Justin Mares introduces Truemed and its preventive health mission00:29 Why Kettle and Fire exposed how expensive prevention really is02:37 The red tape problem hiding inside health savings accounts04:43 Why Justin pivoted from consumer products into fintech07:39 What Truemed tested before writing a line of code09:54 Why an ugly MVP still proved real customer demand14:21 How Truemed built its first team around mission alignment19:37 Why Justin chose venture capital over staying bootstrapped24:39 What Andreessen Horowitz brought beyond the check29:00 Why the MAHA movement matters for chronic disease39:38 How Justin worked through his hardest founder decisions43:57 What Justin wishes he had known earlier as a founderFollow Justin onLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinmares/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justin.mares Website: https://justinmares.com/ Connect with Alisa!Follow Alisa Cohn on Instagram: @alisacohnTwitter: @alisacohnFacebook: facebook.com/alisa.cohnLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alisacohn/Website: http://www.alisacohn.comDownload her 5 scripts for delicate conversations (and 1 to make your life better) Grab a copy of From Start-Up to Grown-Up by Alisa Cohn from Amazon

 As we (and everyone else) predicted a whole month ago in episode #341, Andy Burnham won the Makerfield by-election for Labour and is going to be the next Prime Minister. So now the question is one we ask on this podcast all the time - how can we bring power to those with wisdom and wisdom to those with power?  Specifically, how can he deliver a future that repairs the ruptures within our national and international culture in a time frame that works while in the face of biophysical collapse and the onward march of the political wing of predatory capital?In today's bonus episode, we're delighted to joined again by Rupert Read, Co-Director of the Climate Majority Project, and newly, by Clive Lewis, the Labour MP for Norwich South to explore the potential of this pivotal moment.  We recorded on one of the hottest days of one of the hottest years in human history with the El Niño effect due to ramp up considerably in the next 12-18 months. We're at a moment of geopolitical instability engineered by the hard-right (although here in the UK we have the summer silly-season comedy interlude of Nigel Farage deciding to charge the taxpayer for an unnecessary by-election and finding himself opposed primarily by man wearing a bin on his head. Link here for non UK listeners who may find this somewhat confusing). That apart, what do we who care about a future we'd be proud to leave behind really want from our politicians?  At this stage, there's all to hope for, so we talked to two deeply thoughtful, motivated people who spend all of their time working for exactly this future, thinking about how we get from where we are to a place that offers hope to future generations - and who are capable of talking eloquently, in detail - and wisely about the steps we can take to walk us through from where we are, to where we need to be.  This is Thrutopian Politics in action.  Enjoy!LinksClive's WebsiteClimate Majority Project CompassRecent Compass report on Progressive Politics —About Accidental Gods—We offer three strands all rooted in the same soil, drawing from the same river: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass Our next Open Gathering offered as part of our Accidental Gods Programme is 'BECOMING A GOOD ANCESTOR' which will run on Sunday 13th September 2026 from 16:00 - 20:00 GMT - details are here.

You know how sometimes when you're in charge, in a really hard moment, you keep watching the door for an actual grownup to show up? Because it can't possibly be 42-year-old YOU who's in charge at this moment? In this episode we discuss the strange experience of being the person in charge while also feeling wildly underqualified. From broken bones and dinner logistics to taxes, travel mishaps, and medical decision-making, here are the times when we— and our listeners— were hoping for an authorit figure besides ourselves to show up and fix everything.

This chat started with plenty of laughs before we even hit record, but it quickly turned into one of those conversations that reminds you what real friendship actually looks like. Mike and I unpacked why making genuine friendships as adults is so bloody hard, how easy it is to let relationships drift without ever saying what we're really thinking, and why communication matters far more than most of us realise. We also wandered into some really honest territory around belonging, gratitude, giving feedback, accepting praise (something I clearly still struggle with), and the stories we tell ourselves about success and failure. Mike shared one of the most powerful lessons from losing his legs and how embracing, rather than hiding, what happened changed the way he saw himself forever. It's a conversation about friendship, identity, resilience, and the courage to tell the people in your life that they matter. Plus, plenty of completely unnecessary tangents, sarcasm, and evidence that some of the best conversations happen when there's absolutely no plan.

The annals of internet history are littered with cautionary tales from young people who became internet famous. From “Star Wars Kid” (Ghyslain Raza) to “Overly Attached Girlfriend” (Laina Morris), many viral stars of the early internet did not intend to become memes. And the unintended attention and even bullying that accompany online celebrity can have a profound—even damaging—impact on a kid's life. Yet surveys indicate that many young people still aspire to become internet famous. So is there a way to achieve viral notoriety without screwing up your kid's life? We'll talk to the internet's favorite laughing baby, whose infectious giggle owned the world wide web in 2011 after her mom posted a video of the family dog popping bubbles. The video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnagemulucw ) was seen by tens of millions of people, featured on national television, and yielded significant ad and licensing revenue. 15 years later, little Molly is almost all grown up, and living the happy, normal life of an average teenager, thanks to parents who set the virtual boundaries that allowed that to happen. And Molly (and her parents) have lessons to share from which we all can learn—whether or not we aspire to be the internet's next viral star. Learn more about your ad choices.

Building a startup on Bitcoin means you're not riding one rollercoaster, you're riding two at once. The volatility of launching a company is hard enough. Layer on top of that a protocol still finding its own product-market fit, and you get a compounding effect that will break founders who aren't prepared for it. Will Reeves knows this firsthand. He co-founded Fold, lived through deep bear markets with no investor interest in sight, made a critical pivot after realizing he was building the wrong solution, and took Fold public on Nasdaq in February 2025 as the first Bitcoin financial services company on the exchange. In this episode of From Start-Up to Grown-Up, host Alisa Cohn sits down with Will Reeves, Co-Founder and CEO of Fold, to explore the real cost of building on Bitcoin, why "growth at all costs will destroy you," how a Starbucks line changed everything for Fold, what shifts the moment you go public, and the one truth about imposter syndrome most founders will never admit. You'll learn:Why building a company on top of Bitcoin creates a compounding risk that most founders and investors seriously underestimateThe exact moment Will realized Fold was solving the wrong problem, and how the pivot unlocked real product-market fit and landed Visa as their first major partner. Why "growth at all costs" is uniquely dangerous for Bitcoin companies, and what it actually looks like to build a business for long-term survivalWhat changed when Fold went public How to spot when an executive has stopped scaling with the companyWhat imposter syndrome actually feels like from inside a public company CEO roleWe talk about:00:00 Why building on Bitcoin means you're riding two rollercoasters at once 04:03 Is resilience something you're born with or something you build over time? 06:37 The advice Will gives founders on withstanding the startup journey day to day 09:32 How Fold realized it was solving the wrong problem, and what they did about it 13:22 How do you get your team on board when you've found a new direction? 15:04 What Bitcoin is really for: decentralization, inflation, and financial freedom 22:23 Why growth at all costs will destroy you when you're building on Bitcoin 24:41 Why Fold went public via SPAC and what that decision looked like from the inside 33:03 The painful lesson of replacing yourself as a founder CEO 39:18 The lowest lows and highest highs of building Fold 43:13 Have you ever experienced imposter syndrome?

A quick tap on your kid's leg used to feel like nothing. Then one day it doesn't.This week, James shares a simple summer pool trip with his nonverbal son Lucas that turned into something much bigger. As his daughter prepares to graduate high school, he's already feeling the weight of time moving faster than ever. That reality hits again when he realizes the little boy he's spent years taking to the pool is now a full-sized young man.What follows is a story about routines, trust, transitions, and the quiet ways communication happens without words. James talks about preparing Lucas for outings, handling difficult transitions, and why successful days aren't accidents. They're built on years of trial and error, patience, and learning to understand each other.Most of all, it's a reminder that growth doesn't happen all at once.

We're at a pivotal moment in world geopolitics. Increasingly the masks and the gloves are both off - but it's not a binary choice any more between two sets of suits in slightly different coloured ties: now we have the right showing its true colours  - and a chance for the progressive majority in this country to find its feet and lead us towards a genuinely thoughtful, emotionally literate, high-bandwidth politics that ditches the toxic tribalism and instead lays the ground for a future that could actually work. We're joined this week by Neal Lawson, co-founder and Executive Director of the progressive pressure group, Compass; and Rupert Read, Co-Director of the Climate Majority Project. Neal is a member of the Labour Party, and Rupert of the Green party and we came together to discuss the forthcoming by-election in Makerfield, where Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester is standing as a candidate, with a view to standing for leadership of the Labour Party if he wins.  His main challenger is the Reform party led by Nigel Farage.  The Greens are newly invigorated after their recent win in the Gorton and Denton by-election in Manchester, so there has been a lot of conversation in progressive circles as to whether the Greens should step away to give Burnham a clear run. This seemed a good moment to have a vigorous conversation - to explore the possibilities and potential and the routes forward should Burnham win.

Because nobody totally knows what they’re doing...some people are just better at Googling it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the biggest threat to your company is not competition, but the systems everyone told you to trust?In this episode, Alisa Cohn sits down with Eric Ries, creator of the Lean Startup methodology and bestselling author of The Lean Startup, The Startup Way, and Incorruptible, for a conversation about leadership, corporate governance, innovation, and why so many modern companies lose their way as they grow.Eric unpacks the dangerous side of “best practices,” why shareholder primacy often destroys long-term value, and how financial pressure quietly reshapes company culture from the inside out. He also shares the untold story behind Costco's governance model, why Anthropic's structure matters in the AI race, and what founders misunderstand about speed, alignment, and leadership integrity.You'll learn:Why many “best practices” are actually value destroyingWhat Eric Ries means by “financial gravity”How companies lose their mission after founders lose controlWhy Costco became one of the strongest governance models in businessThe hidden danger of shareholder primacyWhy trustworthiness may be the most underrated asset in businessHow Lean Startup was misunderstood by most foundersThe real purpose behind MVPs and rapid experimentationWhy principles create faster companies, not slower onesHow aligned teams move faster with less management overheadWhat Anthropic is doing differently with AI governanceWhy constraints often create breakthrough innovationThe leadership lesson Eric learned from nearly compromising his own principlesHow founders can build companies their grandchildren will be proud ofWe talk about:00:00 Why Eric Ries says builders are “under siege”02:00 The hidden problem with modern business “best practices”05:00 Why shareholder primacy destroys long-term companies08:00 The untold Costco and Sol Price story12:00 How Costco built a governance fortress16:00 Understanding “financial gravity” inside organizations19:00 Why Costco shareholders defended leadership decisions22:00 The problem with management entrenchment24:00 Why corporations should function more like balanced systems26:00 Anthropic's governance structure and AI leadership30:00 Why checks and balances do not kill innovation32:00 The real philosophy behind Lean Startup35:00 Why principles create speed inside organizations38:00 The overlooked role of trust and alignment40:00 Why great leaders intentionally make things harder42:00 The danger of compromising on core values44:00 Eric's hardest leadership decision46:00 What founders misunderstand about success and power47:00 How to build companies designed to last generationsFollow Eric onLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eries/Website: https://theleanstartup.com/ Connect with Alisa!Follow Alisa Cohn on Instagram: @alisacohnTwitter: @alisacohnFacebook: facebook.com/alisa.cohnLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alisacohn/Website: http://www.alisacohn.comDownload her 5 scripts for delicate conversations (and 1 to make your life better) Grab a copy of From Start-Up to Grown-Up by Alisa Cohn from Amazon

Adam Miller is one of more than a dozen candidates running for mayor of Los Angeles, but unlike some of his rivals, he comes from the worlds of tech and nonprofit management rather than politics. Miller founded the e-learning company Cornerstone and the homelessness prevention nonprofit Better Angels, and says he entered the race because he believes the city's failures — especially around homelessness — are fundamentally operational. In this conversation, Miller explains why encampments persist outside housing facilities, why affordable housing costs have spiraled, why shelters can sit half-empty, and why the city still lacks basic real-time data on homelessness. He also addresses the strange dynamics of a campaign unfolding in an attention economy where reality star Spencer Pratt has emerged as a serious contender. Miller argues that while he and Pratt often identify the same problems, he has the management experience to actually implement solutions. Guest Bio: Adam Miller, a tech entrepreneur and chief executive of the nonprofit Better Angels, is running for mayor of Los Angeles.
