Hey Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our conversation with Kelly Sullivan Walden, and today we're going way deeper into the subconscious. Kelly breaks down why recurring dreams, “random” dream characters, and emotional themes aren't accidents, they're messages from your inner world asking to be understood, healed, or completed. She also introduces us to her JET SET dream-decoding formula and explains how to use Image Rehearsal Therapy (a powerful technique studied at Harvard) to re-enter a dream, resolve stuck emotions, and finally get the peace or closure you've been craving. PLUS, we explore the difference between ego goals and soul goals, why manifesting doesn't work unless the subconscious feels safe, and how to use nighttime intention-setting to magnetize what you actually want (and not what stresses you out). And if you've ever had recurring dreams about missing flights, running late, or old relationships resurfacing? Kelly helps the booth break down exactly what those dreams reveal… you don't want to miss this one! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Recurring dreams show you exactly where you're still stuck. When the same dream keeps returning, it's your subconscious highlighting the fear, wound, or belief you're finally ready to outgrow. Soul goals create real alignment in your life. When you shift from chasing external “wins” to connecting with the deeper feeling you truly want, your energy changes, and your subconscious stops resisting what you're trying to manifest. Your dreams reveal the gap between the life you're living and the life you're meant for. Themes like being left behind, running late, or choosing a different path mirror the real choices you're afraid to make. When you interpret them, you gain clarity on what needs to shift so you can finally move forward. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!

Today's Headlines: The House finally voted on releasing the Epstein files, and it was a blowout: 427–1, with Louisiana Republican Clay Higgins as the lone no vote. Speaker Mike Johnson is still trying to get the Senate to redact names (interesting), but survivors held a powerful press conference beforehand urging Trump to stop playing politics and just release the files himself. Meanwhile, the first real accountability domino fell: Larry Summers is stepping back from Harvard and the Center for American Progress over his deep Epstein ties — though OpenAI's board is staying suspiciously quiet about whether he's out there too. Over in the Oval Office, Trump hosted Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman for what was supposed to be a big investment-and-F-35s photo op, but it immediately derailed when reporters asked about Epstein and, awkwardly, MBS's role in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Trump waved that off with a casual “things happen,” then snapped at ABC's Mary Bruce for asking why he hasn't released the Epstein files, calling her a “terrible reporter” and demanding ABC lose its broadcast license. Very normal, very innocent behavior. In foreign policy news, the UK has reportedly stopped sharing intel on drug smuggling boats over concerns about recent U.S. strikes — something Secretary of State Marco Rubio swears is absolutely not happening because “it didn't come up once.” The courts were also busy. A federal judge said the DOJ's case against James Comey may have been tainted by “profound investigative missteps,” another court blocked Texas's new gerrymandered congressional map for 2026 (pending the inevitable SCOTUS appeal), and a bankruptcy judge finally approved a $7 billion Purdue Pharma settlement after six years of legal trench warfare — money that will go to families, governments, hospitals, and tribes devastated by the opioid crisis.

Palmer Luckey got fired from Meta for backing the wrong candidate—now he's the hero saving American defense, and that shift tells you everything about how fast the ground moved beneath Silicon Valley's feet. For decades, tech and defense were allies, then came 15 years of hostility so visceral that Google employees revolted over a Pentagon AI contract, and when leadership caved, only three people showed up to hear what border security actually involves. But something broke: COVID exposed our inability to make things, Ukraine revealed wars now iterate in days not decades, and suddenly the Harvard dorm room generation realized the people building satellites and drones weren't just necessary—they were the future, while legacy defense contractors still operate on Soviet-style five-year plans that guarantee cost overruns and obsolescence. Now the question isn't whether Silicon Valley returns to its Cold War roots, but whether America wins by becoming more like China's centralized system or doubles down on the chaotic creativity that built nine of the world's ten most valuable companies in 25 years—and the founders flooding into defense, energy, mining, and manufacturing suggest the second American century is just getting started.Resources:Follow Ben on X: https://x.com/bhorowitzFollow Marc on X: https://x.com/pmarcaFollow Katherine on X: https://x.com/KTmBoyleFollow David on X: https://x.com/daviduFollow Erik on X: https://x.com/eriktorenbergStay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

What if creativity isn't a gift possessed by a few—but a skill every leader already has? In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli sits down with Tessa Forshaw and Rich Braden, co-authors of Innovation-ish: How Anyone Can Create Breakthrough Solutions to Real Problems in the Real World. Drawing from their work at Stanford and Harvard, they share how innovation is less about genius and more about discipline, collaboration, and the willingness to see differently.Forshaw and Braden dismantle the myth of the lone genius, showing how the best ideas rarely come from one person's brilliance but from diverse teams willing to challenge each other's assumptions. They unpack the concept of “cognitive caution”—that natural human tendency to play it safe—and explain how leaders can create the psychological conditions that make creativity thrive.The conversation explores why traditional brainstorming often fails, why “innovation theater” gives the illusion of progress without impact, and what leaders can do to make innovation an everyday practice rather than a one-off event. From developing the muscles of divergent and convergent thinking to understanding how fear, hierarchy, and bias stifle creative problem-solving, this dialogue offers a roadmap for embedding innovation deeply into leadership and culture.Braden and Forshaw also discuss the responsibility that comes with innovation—how thoughtful leaders must consider both the intended and unintended consequences of new ideas. And in a world reshaped by AI, they offer a refreshing reminder: technology can amplify human creativity, but it cannot replace the curiosity, humility, and judgment at the heart of real leadership.This episode is a must-listen for CEOs and senior leaders who want to foster innovation that's not performative, but practical—and who see creativity not as a department, but as a leadership imperative.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why everyone—not just “creative types”—is capable of breakthrough thinking, and how leaders can help teams rediscover that confidence.Hear how to replace “innovation theater” with daily practices that embed creativity into decision-making and culture.Discover the concept of cognitive caution—and how to reduce the fear and hesitation that quietly shut down new ideas in organizations.Explore the difference between divergent, convergent, and executive thinking—and how each contributes to effective innovation.Find out why the myth of the lone genius hurts innovation, and what truly collaborative creativity looks like inside high-performing teams.Learn how to ask better questions—the kind that expand perspective, reveal blind spots, and lead to better solutions.Hear why humility may be a leader's most powerful innovation skill, enabling curiosity and openness across the organization.Understand why short-term performance pressures often block creative problem-solving—and what leaders can do to make space for exploration.Connect with Tessa Forshaw and Rich BradenInnovationish Website Innovationish Substack Tessa Forshaw LinkedIn Rich Braden LinkedIn Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website
Today, we're thinking about Marcyliena Morgan, a keeper extraordinaire, a linguistic anthropologist who founded and championed the Hip Hop Archive at Harvard. Marcyliena Hazel Morgan was born in Chicago, May 8, 1950 and passed away September 28, 2025.

Keepers of the culture and the cultures and collections they keep. Guardians of history large and small, protectors of the free flow of information and ideas. Individuals who take it upon themselves to preserve some part of our cultural heritage. Marcyliena Morgan was all that and more. Our story delves into the the founding of the Hip Hop Archive and Research Institute at Harvard by Dr. Morgan and Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. to “facilitate and encourage the pursuit of knowledge, art, culture, scholarship and responsible leadership through Hiphop.”You'll hear from Professor Morgan, Professor Gates, Nas, Patrick Douthit aka 9th Wonder, an array of Harvard archivists and students studying at the archive as well as the records, music and voices being preserved there. We've also included more of our original interview with Dr. Morgan. The Kitchen Sisters Present is produced by The Kitchen Sisters (Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva) with Nathan Dalton and Brandi Howell.

Larry Summers is a prominent American economist who has held significant roles, including U.S. Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton, director of the National Economic Council under President Barack Obama, and President of Harvard University from 2001 to 2006. He is currently the Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus at Harvard, where he continues to teach. Known for his influential, though often controversial, economic policy views, Summers has remained an active public voice until recently, serving on various boards including OpenAI, and as a paid columnist for Bloomberg NewsThe newest controversy stems from a trove of emails and text messages released by the U.S. House Oversight Committee, which revealed the depth of his continued communications with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein from 2017 until just one day before Epstein's July 2019 arrest. The messages show Summers confided in Epstein, seeking his advice on pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a "mentee" and sharing sexist remarks and jokes with Epstein, who described himself in one message as Summers' "wing man" in the pursuit. In response to the backlash, Summers stated he is "deeply ashamed" of his "misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein" and is "stepping back from public commitments". He has ended his fellowship at the Center for American Progress (CAP) and stepped down from the Yale Budget Lab advisory board but will continue his teaching duties at Harvard.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

As we recorded this episode, the Senate agreed to unanimous consent, sending the House passed legislation to release all of the Epstein files to President Trump’s desk for signature. Trump has already said he will sign the bill into law, as we saw Epstein victims rally on Capitol Hill today to urge lawmakers for full transparency. Amy and T.J. discuss the one lawmaker who voted against the bill - a congressman from Louisiana - and the Harvard professor who has expressed being “ashamed” at his level of friendship with Epstein in the latest round of emails released to the public.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Larry Summers is a prominent American economist who has held significant roles, including U.S. Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton, director of the National Economic Council under President Barack Obama, and President of Harvard University from 2001 to 2006. He is currently the Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus at Harvard, where he continues to teach. Known for his influential, though often controversial, economic policy views, Summers has remained an active public voice until recently, serving on various boards including OpenAI, and as a paid columnist for Bloomberg NewsThe newest controversy stems from a trove of emails and text messages released by the U.S. House Oversight Committee, which revealed the depth of his continued communications with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein from 2017 until just one day before Epstein's July 2019 arrest. The messages show Summers confided in Epstein, seeking his advice on pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a "mentee" and sharing sexist remarks and jokes with Epstein, who described himself in one message as Summers' "wing man" in the pursuit. In response to the backlash, Summers stated he is "deeply ashamed" of his "misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein" and is "stepping back from public commitments". He has ended his fellowship at the Center for American Progress (CAP) and stepped down from the Yale Budget Lab advisory board but will continue his teaching duties at Harvard.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

There are plenty of rags to riches stories, that while I honor greatly, don't specifically stand out to me. But this one…this one did. Andre Norman wasn't just in prison. And maximum security prison at that. He ran the prison. He was king of the inmates and ran gang activities from within the prison walls. He was granted immunity from most all the rules and regulations by the guards. Then on his way to yet another of 10+ attempted murders, he got a wake up call and realized he was king. King of…nothing. Thus began his journey to educate himself, work out of a 100+ year prison sentence, and become an acclaimed motivational speaker on hope. That is a dramatic life transformation to me. An incredible identity shift. And I wanted to understand the dynamics of his experience. Most of my guests are authors, but I seldom read the books completely. Andre's book, Ambassador Of Hope: Turning Poverty And Prison Into A Purpose Driven Life, I read cover to cover. His childhood story…I just broke my heart with. He went from prison king to Harvard. Literally. But even amongst the success he pursued, he still struggled. I dig into his story and he brought me to a discussion on the salvation he cites of accountability. And our propensity as humans to get involved in a pursuit out of a strong why, but then lose it to the what of what we are doing. And get lost, or as he did, come back to the why. I think you'll find this discussion convicting and sobering, as I did.

Rana Dershowitz went straight to Harvard Law School after graduating in 1992, partly due to the economy and her love for learning. She describes her experience at Harvard Law School, including her role as a law school "old timer" in Cambridge. After law school, Rana moved back to New York and started working on Wall Street, initially hating the big law environment but appreciating the people she worked with. Entertainment Law at Madison Square Garden and onto Sports Law Rana discusses her career counselor's advice to explore sports law, which she had overlooked despite her involvement in sports and technical theater at Harvard. She took a six-month leave of absence and was offered a job in sports law the day she started her leave. Rana worked in entertainment law at Madison Square Garden (MSG) from 2001 to 2007, handling legal work for the Knicks, Rangers, and the WNBA's New York Liberty. She met her future husband during this time and moved to Colorado in 2007, where she continued her legal career. Joining the US Olympic Committee and Life in Colorado Rana joined the US Olympic Committee (USOC) as Deputy General Counsel in 2007, becoming interim General Counsel and then General Counsel and Head of Government Affairs. She describes the challenges of commuting between Colorado Springs and Denver, with her husband working in Bould, while managing her job and family life. Rana and her husband moved to Basalt, Colorado, in 2011, where she continued her legal work, joined the Aspen skiing company, and became involved in the Aspen community. She transitioned to a part-time role at Aspen Skiing Company while working as Phil Weiser's policy director for his gubernatorial campaign. Challenges and Opportunities at the US Olympic Committee Rana explains the unique structure of the USOC, which is federally chartered and subject to congressional oversight, unlike most Olympic committees.
