It's not everyday that a former student of yours says that he's been accepted to Harvard Law School - or every year...or every lifetime! But recently, Whetstone was honored by the news that one of its graduates has done just that.Join us this week on A Time to Sharpen for an in-depth discussion with our friend and colleague, Kiernan the Wise. That's not his actual name, but after listening to this podcast, I think you'll agree that the moniker fits. By God's grace, Kiernan was able to turn things around during his 6 and a half months at Whetstone and get going in the right direction. And while this is a feat all by itself, he was able to keep things going far past the point that most people would think possible. It's an inspiring story, and every bit of the 90 minute conversation is true. So get comfortable, or start folding that laundry so that you can focus your attention on what he has to say.
Professor of Medieval History David Carpenter passionately debunks myths about the Magna Carta, revealing its true impact.In this engaging episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by esteemed historian and professor of medieval history at King's College London, David Carpenter, as they navigate the turbulent waters of 1215—a year marked by rebellious barons, a tempestuous king, and the historic signing of the Magna Carta. The Myth of the Signature:David passionately debunks the long-standing misconception that King John 'signed' the Magna Carta, clarifying that it was, in fact, sealed. He elaborates on the significance of this document, which for the first time formally subjected the king to the law, ensuring that no one could be imprisoned or stripped of their property without due legal process. Beyond the Barons:Listeners will discover that the Magna Carta is not merely a self-serving agreement for the barons, but a charter that encompasses a broader societal context, addressing the rights of the church, local governance, and even the rights of women, albeit with notable limitations. The Legacy of the Charter:As the conversation unfolds, David shares insights into the evolving interpretation of the Magna Carta throughout history, including its relevance in contemporary legal contexts. He highlights how key principles from the charter continue to resonate in modern legal frameworks, underscoring its enduring legacy. Exciting Discoveries:In a thrilling twist, David recounts his recent discovery of a previously overlooked original copy of the 1300 Magna Carta at Harvard Law School, sparking new interest and research into the document's historical significance and its impact on the rule of law. This episode is a compelling exploration of one of history's most pivotal documents, challenging listeners to reconsider the narratives surrounding the Magna Carta and its implications for freedom and governance.

Why do we struggle with conflict even when we know it's important? In today's polarized and high-stakes workplace, leaders are more afraid than ever to say the wrong thing or engage in tough conversations. But avoiding conflict doesn't protect relationships, it slowly breaks them. In this episode, Bob Bordone, Senior Fellow at Harvard Law School, shares why conflict isn't something to fear, but something to practice and turn into a tool for connection. You'll learn how to build conflict resilience by recognizing your default conflict style (fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or fester), why avoidance is the “slow kill” of meaningful relationships, and how to approach disagreement with assertiveness and empathy. We also tackle how to know when to engage in conflict and when to let it go, handling workplace tension and generational differences, why most workplaces misunderstand psychological safety, and why grace—not censorship—is the antidote to cancel culture. This episode will show you why discomfort isn't something to run from and give you the mindset and tools to handle conflict with more clarity, confidence, and care. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

In today's episode, I chat with David Hoffman, a lawyer, mediator, and a founding member of Boston Law Collaborative. David was named "Lawyer of the Year" in Boston, and he even teaches at Harvard! I love how he's using IFS to help people with conflict. We talk about how IFS has shifted his focus from getting people to settle, to helping them make Self-led choices. We discuss: How does a lawyer and mediator bring the language of parts into a legal setting? What is the "reasonable reason" behind "unreasonable behavior" in conflict? How can we make decisions from a place of "Self-led" wisdom rather than from our "gladiator parts?" How can simply naming a part change the dynamic of a conversation? David shares an example of how saying "there's a greedy part" shifted a negotiation for the better. How does the IFS model help us understand ambivalence and the "negotiation within" that happens before we even enter a conflict? "There's something we can do here to enable people to manage their conflicts more successfully and to be less fearful and less hateful in the world." —David Hoffman I absolutely loved getting to know David and I'm so glad he's bringing the IFS model to a new audience. He's also offering a new six-week IFS training for lawyers and mediators this fall through the IFS Institute with guest appearances by Dick Schwartz, Mke Elkin, and Fatimah Finney.

John is joined by Professor Mark Wu, the Henry L. Stimson Professor at Harvard Law School, an expert in international trade and international economic law. They discuss the legal and geopolitical implications of President Trump's tariff strategy. The President's approach is rooted in a belief that the post-1970s international trade regime, which the U.S. helped build, has been exploited by foreign powers to the detriment of American interests, particularly the manufacturing sector and working-class communities. The administration intends to leverage America's market dominance and security alliances to pressure trading partners into more favorable terms, including opening their markets to exports and investing in America. To legally impose many of these tariffs, the President has relied on statutory authorities that Congress delegated to the executive branch, such as Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (covering national security issues from the importation of goods), Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (covering unfair trade practices by foreign countries), and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which permits regulation of imports during a declared national emergency. Unlike prior administrations, Trump has used IEEPA not only to declare national emergencies—such as the opioid crisis and trade deficits—but also to impose sweeping tariffs in response. These actions have sparked a series of legal challenges. Several importers and states have filed suits arguing that the president overstepped his authority under IEEPA. Courts are now scrutinizing whether this use of IEEPA constitutes an overly broad delegation of congressional power and whether the tariffs align with the IEEPA's statutory language. The Court of International Trade ruled against the administration on this issue. That case is now before the Federal Circuit, which heard the appeal en banc. Whatever the outcome, the Supreme Court is likely to weigh in. Even if tariffs under the IEEPA are barred by the courts, the administration has other tools at its disposal to achieve the same outcome, including imposing tariffs under Section 232, imposing tariffs under Section 301, and seeking additional legislation from Congress authorizing tariffs against specific countries. Regardless of legal outcomes, the global trade regime has fundamentally changed. There will be no going back to the pre-Trump regime. Traditional alliances have been strained, other countries are adapting to long-term U.S. unpredictability, and legal precedents set here could impact more than trade law.

What if the things we sideline in the pursuit of success—care, connection, and personal struggles—are what could actually lead us to clarity and purpose? In a culture that celebrates achievement and autonomy, have we overlooked the connective tissue that quietly holds our lives and systems together? Could personal transformation also be the key to transforming how we lead, live, and rebuild the world around us?Find out from Anne-Marie Slaughter, exclusively in conversation with Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa on Intersections Podcast.Anne-Marie Slaughter is a global leader, educator, foreign policy expert, public intellectual and the CEO of New America, a “think and action tank” dedicated to realizing the promise of America in an era of rapid technological and social change.

Alan Rozenshtein, Senior Editor at Lawfare and Associate Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota, speaks with Noah Feldman, the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, about the Supreme Court's recent decision to greatly limit the practice of universal injunctions. The ruling came in a case involving a Trump administration executive order on birthright citizenship, and while many commentators have viewed the decision as a dangerous loss for the rule of law, Noah argues that the Court might be playing a strategic "long game."Alan and Noah discuss Noah's central thesis: that the Supreme Court's primary job in the Trump era is to protect the rule of law by avoiding a direct constitutional crisis with the executive branch that the judiciary is likely to lose. From this perspective, eliminating universal injunctions—a tool that allows a single district judge to start a major fight—is a way for the Court to control when and where it confronts the administration. They also address the legal merits of Justice Barrett's majority opinion, which Noah argues was a flawed use of originalism that misinterpreted the flexible, problem-solving nature of equity. Finally, they explore the legal avenues for relief that remain, such as class actions, and consider what it means for the judiciary to truly "win" or "lose" a confrontation with a president who is undeterred by political norms.Note that this discussion was recorded in early July, before a lower court certified a class action in the birthright citizenship litigation and before the Supreme Court's recent unsigned opinion allowing the Trump administration to begin mass firings at the Department of Education, which Noah has since criticized.Mentioned in this episode:"The Supreme Court's Majority Is Playing the Long Game,” by Noah Feldman in Bloomberg Opinion"The Supreme Court's Silent Opinions Undermine Its Legitimacy,” by Noah Feldman in Bloomberg OpinionTo receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

The Silent Conversations Controlling Your Success The Conversations Silently Controlling Your Life The Dialogue Beneath the Surface You've checked the boxes. Career, family, personal milestones—on paper, it all looks good. So why do certain moments still feel tight, disconnected, or misunderstood? Here's a truth most people never stop to consider: It's not just what you say to others. It's what you don't say. And more importantly—what you're constantly saying to yourself. In this episode of Richer Soul, we sit down with Chuck Wisner, author of The Art of Conscious Conversation, to explore how our everyday communication—spoken and unspoken—shapes the quality of our lives. 5 Soul-Level Insights from Chuck Wisner: (This isn't about talking better. It's about living more consciously.) You're not responding to the world—you're reacting to your internal story. Most people move through life guided not by truth, but by assumptions. Chuck shows how these hidden “storytelling conversations” create unnecessary conflict and block deeper connection. Listening is more than hearing—it's a form of presence. In a distracted world, true listening has become rare. Chuck explains how deep listening can heal relationships and dissolve tension—without needing to fix, defend, or solve. Emotions aren't problems to avoid—they're invitations to go deeper. Using his Spiral of Emotions model, Chuck reframes emotions like fear and anger as gateways to growth—if we're willing to stay curious rather than reactive. You can't have peace with others if you're at war within. Most of us speak from defense or habit. Conscious communication starts by noticing your own thoughts—and choosing which ones deserve your voice. Transformation starts in the pause. The space between what you feel and how you respond is where true change lives. Chuck helps us reclaim that space—and use it to build more honest, loving, and meaningful connections. Why This Conversation Matters: We often think our challenges are about time, stress, or misalignment with others. But many of those outer struggles stem from one overlooked place: How we speak. How we listen. And the unconscious patterns we never question. This episode is an invitation to pause—and begin again, more aware, more present, and more connected. Money Learning: What if the way you talk about money is shaping the way you experience it? Chuck's framework reminds us: Every financial decision begins with a conversation—either with others or with yourself. For many successful people, money becomes a language of control, security, or identity. But when we stop and examine the emotions behind those conversations—fear, scarcity, pride—we begin to see how our words around money often reveal deeper stories about worth and safety. This episode invites you to ask: Are your money conversations driven by truth—or by unspoken fear? By bringing more presence and honesty to how we speak about wealth, we open the door to more peaceful, purpose-aligned choices. Guest Bio: Chuck Wisner has spent 30 years as a trusted advisor, coach, and teacher in communication, human dynamics, and leadership excellence. He has worked with leaders and their teams in Fortune 200 companies. He also trained in mediation and worked as a senior mediator affiliated with the Harvard Mediation Program at the Harvard Law School, and later, was associated with MIT's Center for Organizational Learning. His book, The Art of Conscious Conversations – Transforming How We Talk, Listen, and Interact (BK Publishers, Oct. 22, 2022), explores how to heighten our awareness and become more conscious in our conversations.

How “storytelling conversations” shape your worldview and sabotage your relationships. The hidden cost of trying to “fix” instead of listen. What it really means to pause between reaction and response—and why it's a spiritual practice. The Spiral of Emotions: how fear, anger, and shame can evolve into clarity and creativity. How to recognize when your ego is running the dialogue. The difference between conscious communication and controlling conversation. What Chuck learned from his own journey—from architect to spiritual communicator—and why presence changed everything. Share This with Someone You Care About: If something in this episode helped you see your conversations—or yourself—differently, don't keep it to yourself. Share it with someone who's ready to grow through a deeper kind of communication. Because real change doesn't happen all at once. It happens one conscious conversation at a time. #RicherSoul #ConsciousCommunication #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfAwareness #InnerPeace #SpiritualGrowth #SoulSuccess #MindfulLiving #PurposeOverPerfection #LifeClarity Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

He was at Harvard Law School with President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. He's the founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital. And he's the founder and Chairman of the SALT conference. Leadership through service: True leadership isn't about personal glory but about making others better and helping them succeed in their roles. Derek Jeter exemplified this by never caring about personal statistics, only team success. "If you're on the team, it's not about me, right? It's about you. How am I gonna make you better? Or how am I gonna make you feel good about your role? How am I gonna get you to think that I'm here to help you?" Flexibility and decision-making under pressure: Football taught Scaramucci the importance of reading situations quickly and making audibles at the line of scrimmage - skills that translate directly to business and life leadership. "You can't just say, okay, here's the game plan, right? Because that's what Mike Tyson says, right? You have the plan until you get punched in the face, or all battle plans go by the wayside with contact with the enemy." Resilience through adversity: Getting "your ass kicked" early in life builds the resilience needed for future challenges in business and politics. Early defeats teach you how to bounce back from failure. "That's called resilience, right? You gotta get over that... That's how you gotta get your ass kicked. Here I was... and I just remember feeling so puny... So how you gotta get over that." The confidence battle starts within: The first fight in life is with yourself - believing you're good enough and worthy to compete. Henry Ford's principle applies: "If you think you can or you can't, you are right." "The first fight is with yourself. Am I good enough? Am I worthy? Can I get to the game? Can I believe in myself enough so that I'm standing next to someone else who believes in themselves that I compete?" Accountability in relationships: When Scaramucci's marriage was in crisis, taking full accountability for his mistakes rather than deflecting blame was crucial to rebuilding the relationship. "I owe my wife Deirdre, a debt of gratitude for actually really loving me because I was off the rails on a few things... she's like, Hey, I'm not having this, so if you love me, get your shit together." Life coaching vs. therapy approach: Life coaching focuses on progression and future action ("What are we doing today to be better?") rather than regression into past issues. "I feel that therapy is a regression. Life coaching is a progression... forget about the past. What the hell are you gonna do? What are we doing today to make yourself a better person?" Forgiveness as liberation: Choosing to forgive both others and yourself removes the "millstone of regret" that weighs you down and prevents forward progress. "I can take that millstone of regret and leave it behind me, take it off of my neck and leave it behind me... human frailty and not judging it is not just you judging others, but also yourself." The comfortable outsider advantage: Being comfortable with your outsider status while still being able to operate in elite circles provides authentic confidence and relatability across all social levels. "I am a comfortable outsider. I'm not an insider... but I'm comfortable with it. You know, like guys like Trump or Rudy, they're uncomfortable. Outsiders... But I'm a comfortable outsider. I don't need to do that." Intellectual curiosity + neuroplasticity: Combining genuine curiosity about others with the ability to adapt and change allows you to move successfully between different social and professional circles. "Find your superpower... I think your superpower is very similar to my superpower... intellectual curiosity. And so if you can blend intellectual curiosity with neuroplasticity, meaning you can adopt and change... then you can move in various circles." Pivot for survival: Successful businesses and careers require constant reinvention. SkyBridge's conference business and pivot to Bitcoin were survival strategies that became major successes. "We were going outta business... This was an accidental survivor strategy. This was a pivot that we were making in order to stay in business. This was not some mastermind plan."

The wife and children of the terror suspect who allegedly burned Jewish protesters in Boulder, Colorado, have been captured and will be deported back to Egypt. While Democrats may fight back, Glenn argues why this is necessary. The largest demographic of immigrants coming to America are young, healthy men. Where are their family members? Glenn admonishes the immigrants who demand shelter and benefits while mocking the country that took them in. Countries around the world are at risk of collapse due to overwhelming illegal immigration, and nobody wants to fix the issue. Glenn asks how America got to the point where anti-Semitism is not only tolerated but funded.
