Dr. Rick Doblin (founder and president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, and one of the most influential figures in psychedelic science) returns to Mayim Bialik's Breakdown for one of the most controversial and eye-opening conversations on psychedelics we've had yet.From the shocking experiment where scientists gave MDMA to an octopus, to why ibogaine may be the most powerful AND dangerous psychedelic ever studied, this episode explores the future of psychedelic therapy, trauma healing, addiction recovery, policy reform, and human consciousness itself.We break down Trump's new executive order accelerating psychedelic research and what it could mean for the future legalization of psychedelic-assisted therapy in America. Dr. Doblin explains why veterans suffering from PTSD and disabilities have become central to bipartisan support for psychedelics, and why this issue is now reshaping politics on both sides of the aisle.We also dive deep into ibogaine: its mysterious origins, its ability to help reset opioid addiction, its connection to ancestral memory and intergenerational trauma, why it carries serious risks, and why Dr. Doblin still believes its benefits may outweigh the dangers. He also shares his own profound ibogaine experience that helped him confront perfectionism and his fear of death.Dr. Doblin discusses:- How psychedelics help people integrate trauma- Why psychedelics are generally considered non-addictive- Difference between recreational vs therapeutic psychedelic use- Why psychedelic treatment should be customized to each patient- Importance of integration, peer support, and paying attention to dreams after treatment- Measures of success in MDMA-assisted couples therapy- Origins of the opioid epidemic- "Psychedelic churches": How organizations are openly operating under the umbrella of religion- Capitalism vs democratizing the benefits of psychedelic medicine- How a better psychedelic therapy model could be built- Why transparency is critical for science-backed drug policy reform- When psychedelics may realistically enter the open market- Dr. Doblin's long-term vision for a psychedelic-informed publicAs psychedelic research rapidly expands worldwide, this conversation explores the science, politics, risks, ethics, and revolutionary potential behind one of the fastest-growing movements in mental health and medicine!DISCLAIMER: MBB is not providing medical or legal advice.

What does it truly mean to be accountable as a business leader, and why does it matter now more than ever?In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists, hosts Timothy Henry and Raj Sisodia sit down with Kate Adams, Chief Impact Officer at Conscious Capitalism, Inc. and author of Accountability Under Fire, for a thoughtful exploration of one of the most pressing challenges facing modern leadership.As organizations navigate increasing scrutiny from employees, customers, investors, and the public, accountability has become more than a values-based aspiration. It is now a critical business imperative. Drawing from her new book and decades of experience advising leaders across the business, nonprofit, and social impact sectors, Kate shares a practical framework for understanding what accountability looks like in action and why so many organizations struggle to achieve it.Throughout the conversation, Kate introduces her Accountability Ladder, a model that helps leaders assess where their organizations stand and what it takes to build accountability into the culture and decision-making process. Together, Timothy, Raj, and Kate explore the challenges of balancing competing stakeholder interests, the relationship between accountability and conscious leadership, and why creating win-win-win outcomes often requires far more creativity than leaders realize.The discussion also examines the role of boards and CEOs in shaping accountability, the importance of organizational trust, and how leaders can respond when mistakes inevitably occur. From corporate apologies and political engagement to emerging technologies such as AI and blockchain, this episode offers a timely look at how accountability is evolving in an increasingly transparent world.Listeners will gain insights into:The difference between accountability, responsibility, and traditional CSR initiativesHow to identify and prioritize the stakeholders most affected by your decisionsThe five stages of organizational accountability and what separates reactive companies from truly accountable onesWhy creating win-win-win outcomes is often harder than it soundsHow board and CEO alignment can strengthen or undermine accountability effortsHow AI and emerging technologies are changing the way organizations measure and manage impactThe connection between accountability, conscious leadership, and long-term organizational healthAnd more!Whether you're leading a company, serving on a board, or seeking to build a more values-driven organization, this episode offers practical wisdom on how accountability can become a source of trust, resilience, and sustainable success.If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify?

The far right holds power in the US, inflaming tension along racial lines. ICE agents terrorise the streets, while Black history is erased from school curricula. In the UK too, Nigel Farage's far right party Reform is on the ascendancy, riding a tide of anti-immigrant sentiment that he himself helped to stoke. Our guest on Downstream this week is Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, civil rights advocate and legal scholar. Crenshaw is known for coining the term ‘intersectionality' to describe the ways different forms of discrimination combine or intersect, and is a leading figure within the field of Critical Race Theory.  Born into segregation, her new memoir Backtalker (2026) tells her life story, tracking 60 turbulent years of American history in the process. How have the forces of race, class and gender shaped Crenshaw's own life? What is Critical Race Theory – the academic field Crenshaw founded – really about? Was Kamala Harris' presidential campaign a failure because she was a weak candidate, or because she was a victim of the forces of misogynoir? And in these times of rising fascism, should progressives put their efforts into tackling inequality based on race, or class?

What is business actually for?In this episode of The Authority Company Podcast, Joe Pardavila sits down with entrepreneur and author Rick K. Jones to challenge the way most leaders think about profit, growth, and responsibility. After decades building successful companies, Rick now focuses on a bigger question: what does success mean if it doesn't lead to something greater?Rick introduces his concept of “The Business Tithe,” a simple but powerful idea that businesses should give back a portion of their profits to create lasting impact. The conversation explores the tension between capitalism and conscience, why many leaders optimize for profit at the expense of people, and how a shift in mindset can change everything.You'll hear why Rick believes businesses exist to “feed sheep,” how small companies can start giving back immediately, and why the future of leadership depends on moving from success to significance.This is not a theoretical conversation. It is a practical framework for building a business that supports your life, your team, and your community.If you are building a company, leading a team, or thinking about your long-term impact, this episode will challenge how you define winning.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS / CHAPTERS00:00 – Intro: Profit vs purpose00:45 – Why business exists beyond money01:50 – The problem with modern CEOs and profit-first thinking03:20 – Capitalism, fairness, and where it breaks06:20 – Why leadership is a moral decision08:00 – “Feed your sheep” philosophy explained10:00 – Success vs significance12:00 – How much money is enough?13:20 – The Business Tithe explained (10% giving model)15:50 – Why entrepreneurs struggle to value their work17:10 – Privilege, profit, and responsibility19:00 – Real-world example: Jersey Mike's giving model21:00 – How to start giving (even at $1M revenue)22:00 – Givers vs takers mindset24:20 – What “tithe” actually means27:00 – Does faith matter in business?30:00 – Final thoughts: building a legacy

AI progress isn't slowing down. The bubble doesn't seem to be popping. And who in power actually cares about the environmental impacts anyway? All that is to say: AI is here to stay. And what will be its fruits? Greater control of workers or even their brutal repression, some say. So, is there a positive future for AI at all? Garrison Lovely is the author of Obsolete: The AI Industry's Trillion-Dollar Race to Replace You—and How to Stop It. And surprisingly, his answer is “yes”. He told Richard Hames about the dangers of AI, and how to get off the path to dystopia. Do Your Own Research is a new show from Novara Media about the systems that make the modern world possible.

This is the Man who Would be Khan.  While a first-year Russian student at West Point, then Major Mark Derber dropped an article from The Atlantic on my desk, Robert D. Kaplan's "The Man Who Would Be Khan". It changed my life. 20 years later, you get to hear my interview with the Man himself. COL (R) Tom Wilhelm shares his path from West Point (commissioned infantry in 1980) through a dual-track infantry/aviation start, declining the new Aviation Branch, and entering the FAO program in the mid-1980s as a Soviet/Russian FAO. Wilhelm recounts an extensive Cold War-era pipeline (FAO course, DLI Russian—joined fully by his wife—graduate school, a summer in Leningrad, and the US Army Russian Institute/Marshall Center), then FAO work with OSIA conducting arms-control inspections (Vienna Document, INF, CFE) and the Provide Hope humanitarian mission in Tajikistan amid civil war. He describes a “knife fight” to regain infantry key jobs during post–Cold War drawdowns, deployments in Macedonia and Bosnia, being imbedded with a Russian airborne brigade, a later Tajikistan attaché tour with family hardships and evacuation, Marshall Center faculty/FAO mentorship, Mongolia as dual-hatted defense attaché/security cooperation chief, an Afghanistan/Pakistan tour, retirement, and directing the Foreign Military Studies Office. He emphasizes FAO risk-taking, networking, access, and conveying what partners think, not what Americans want to hear. To read the original Robert D. Kaplan article you can find it on The Atlantic's website.  If you don't have a subscription, the WayBack Machine is your friend: https://web.archive.org/web/20121020120633/https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2004/03/the-man-who-would-be-khan/302899/   COL(R) Tom Wilhelm's Recommended Reading List: GENERAL FMSO https://oe.t2com.army.mil  Look for FMSO stuff but many products from T2Com G2 are useful for FAOs.

This week on the Do Good to Lead Well podcast, I sit down with bestselling author Eric Ries for a timely and thought-provoking conversation about leadership, mission, and the growing crisis of short-term thinking in business.Eric first transformed the entrepreneurial world with The Lean Startup. In his latest book, Incorruptible, he tackles a new challenge: why so many organizations lose sight of their purpose, compromise their values, and drift away from the very mission that made them successful in the first place.Together, we explore why many traditional business “best practices” are no longer serving leaders, employees, or society — and what it takes to build organizations that can withstand the pressures of short-term performance, protect trust, and stay anchored in their values over time.Through powerful stories, real-world examples, and surprising data, listeners learn how organizations can defend their mission, outlast competitors, and resist the economic “gravity” that pulls so many companies into compromise. From redefining profit as human flourishing to making trust and love into competitive advantages, the episode offers a blueprint for building companies that not only succeed financially, but endure.Whether you're a founder determined to preserve your mission, or an executive seeking to build a culture of integrity, this episode is packed with practical guidance and inspiration.

Socialists have long predicted capitalism's overthrow and replacement by a better system. But do we have any reason to believe capitalism must come to an end? On the latest episode of Confronting Capitalism, Melissa Naschek and Vivek Chibber discuss the role of economic and ecological crises in capitalism's possible demise. Just as it is a mistake to think that capitalism will last forever, it's also unrealistic to think that it is destined to collapse.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years.  In this episode, Kim speaks with Gary Gerstle, best-selling author of The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order and ten other books. Kim said that after reading this book, she began to feel that when it comes to economic policy, we really have a one-party system. The architect of the New Deal Order was FDR, a Democrat, but its general contractor was Eisenhower, arguably the most progressive of all American presidents. The architect of the Neoliberal order was Reagan, but its general contractor was Clinton. Kim also said that reading this book made her realize that, time and again throughout her career, she thought she was working towards progressive ends, not understanding how neoliberalism had taken hold of the Democratic Party.  Gerstle explains that “the phrase political order is meant to connote a constellation of ideologies, policies, and constituencies that shape American politics in ways that endure beyond the two-, four-, and six-year election cycles. In the last hundred years, America has had two political orders: the New Deal order that arose in the 1930s and 1940s, crested in the 1950s and 1960s, and fell in the 1970s; and the neoliberal order that arose in the 1970s and 1980s, crested in the 1990s and 2000s, and fell in the 2010s At the heart of each of these two political orders stood a distinctive program of political economy. The New Deal order was founded on the conviction that capitalism left to its own devices spelled economic disaster. It had to be managed by a strong central state able to govern the economic system in the public interest. The neoliberal order, by contrast, was grounded in the belief that market forces had to be liberated from government regulatory controls that were stymying growth, innovation, and freedom. The architects of the neoliberal order set out in the 1980s and 1990s to dismantle everything that the New Deal order had built across its forty-year span. Now it, too, is being dismantled.  Alarmingly, there seems to be no coherent policy around whatever it is replacing the Neoliberal order–just a mad grab for wealth, leading to even greater disparities than those that led to the Gilded Age's excesses and to the Great Depression. Guest Background: Gary Gerstle is Paul Mellon Professor of American History Emeritus and Paul Mellon Director of Research at the University of Cambridge. He is the author and editor of more than ten books, including two prizewinners, American Crucible (2017) and Liberty and Coercion (2015). He is a Guardian columnist and has also written for the Atlantic Monthly, the New Statesman, Dissent, The Nation, and Die Zeit, among others. He frequently appears on BBC Radio 4, BBC World Service, ITV 4, Talking Politics, and NPR.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 073: Why Capitalism Is in Its Dying Phase, Why Trillion-Dollar AI IPOs Are a Massive Ponzi, and How the Iran Deal Is Pure Theater | Simon Dixon & Dave CollumCapitalism is in its final gasping phase — and the $3 trillion AI IPO push, bond market stress, and China's triple rug-pull setup are the proof. Simon Dixon and Dave Collum break it all down.Simon Dixon (BnkToTheFuture) and Cornell professor Dave Collum join BTC Sessions for one of the most wide-ranging macro and Bitcoin sovereignty conversations of 2026. You'll learn why Simon believes the Iran deal is already signed and the current headlines are pure theatrics timed to IPO liquidity needs. You'll see why Dave views the Space X IPO at 100x sales as a dying capitalism's last gasp — and why the gamma squeeze unwinding could trigger a simultaneous bond, equity, and commodity collapse. You'll understand how BlackRock's Aladdin technology has replaced Goldman Sachs as the true node of global capital flows, and why Larry Fink, Strategy, and 21 Capital are NOT friends of Bitcoin sovereignty. Most importantly, you'll walk away understanding why self-custody and a circular Bitcoin economy are the only real exits from transnational capital control.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:27 - Simon Moves Goalposts on Iran Deal5:27 - Timing Iran Deal with Major IPO Liquidity8:08 - Dave Collum Calls Space IPO Fantasy at 100x Sales9:33 - Gamma Squeeze Driving Equity Ponzi Scheme11:32 - Dave's Nightmare: Simultaneous Bond and Equity Bears13:56 - America Not Sovereign, Controlled by Financial Complexes15:15 - Fed Must Expand Balance Sheet to Fix Bonds16:39 - $3 Trillion IPOs: OpenAI and SpaceX Index Inclusion22:17 - Passive Flows Insufficient for $3 Trillion IPOs37:11 - China Could Rug Pull Bonds, Stocks, Commodities42:18 - DeepSeek Moment Reveals China's AI Advantage49:38 - Gold Squeeze: London Derivatives vs Shanghai Physical53:26 - BlackRock Aladdin Directs All Institutional Flows1:00:31 - Central Banking Ponzi Scheme Math Exposed1:14:31 - Thomas Massie and Mafia Model of Power1:38:33 - Bitcoin Self-Custody: Exit from Transnational Capital1:44:24 - Larry Fink, Strategy Not Bitcoin Allies1:47:50 - Build Circular Bitcoin Economy to Exit System1:57:46 - Follow Simon Dixon and Dave Collum• About Simon DixonX: @SimonDixonTwittYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC_wNYJCyycXXPmWni2JNZhQ • About Dave CollumX: https://x.com/DavidBCollum• Sovereign Sessions — AI, Privacy, and Bitcoin education: http://youtube.com/@SovereignSessions?sub_confirmation=1

A wealth tax on the very richest people in our society has never been more popular. Recent polling puts the plan at 90% approval, a figure almost unheard of for any policy proposal. This week's guest, Gabriel Zucman, is a French economist who has done the most comprehensive work on what such a tax could accomplish. And he’s also a key inspiration for the UK's leading wealth tax advocate – and friend of the show – Gary Stevenson.

How Government Dependency Destroys Freedom: America is being conditioned to believe dependency is compassion and success is selfish. In this episode, Professor Nicholas Giordano exposes how government growth, fraud, and victimhood politics are eroding self-reliance, capitalism, and the American spirit. From the Vance fraud task force uncovering massive abuse in taxpayer-funded programs to New York City's fiscal collapse and California's homelessness disaster, this episode breaks down how bloated bureaucracies fail repeatedly while demanding more money and more power. The conversation explores the dangerous connection between economic dependency and political control using the ideas of Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell, while explaining why capitalism, personal responsibility, and self-governance remain essential to preserving liberty. What You'll Learn: How government dependency weakens freedom and expands political control  Why fraud, waste, and abuse are actively protected by the political class  What Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell understood about economic freedom  How failed government programs continue growing despite terrible results  Why rebuilding self-reliance and accountability is essential to saving the republic  

In this episode, Damon Garcia joins us to explore the pressure of trying to find — and faithfully follow — God's plan for your life. Growing up in a Pentecostal and charismatic church culture, Damon was taught that God had a specific calling for each person, and that missing it could mean missing the life you were meant to live. Damon reflects on the anxiety, striving, and self-surveillance that this way of thinking can create, as well as his own complicated journey into ministry and eventual departure from evangelicalism.As the conversation unfolds, the lens widens beyond church culture to ask what happens when one version of calling collapses, only for another to take its place. From hustle culture and monetised gifts to the pressure to “become somebody”, Damon reflects on the ways capitalism shapes our understanding of purpose, success, and worth. Along the way, he offers a gentler alternative: a vision of “small, simple callings” rooted less in grand destiny and more in presence, grace, creativity, and the ordinary life in front of us.Following the interview Nomad hosts Tim and Joy reflect on growing up in Pentecostal and charismatic church cultures where “calling” shaped everything from identity and relationships to work, status, and major life decisions. Together they explore the anxiety of trying to discern God's plan, the hierarchies hidden within church culture, and the ways privilege, power, and gender shaped those callings.Interview starts at 12m 24sBooks, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

Over the last half century, diseases carried by insects — such as malaria and dengue, Zika and Lyme disease — have greatly increased. Sociologists Brent Kaup and Kelly Austin argue that the surge in vector-borne disease has been fueled by neoliberal capitalism, at times in unexpected ways, such as through loosened financial regulations governing mortgages and health insurance, as well as the gutting of health care. (Encore presentation.) Brent Z. Kaup and Kelly F. Austin, The Pathogens of Finance: How Capitalism Breeds Vector-Borne Disease UC Press, 2025 The post Capitalism and Insect-Borne Diseases appeared first on KPFA.

It’s a dizzying set of allegations. A trove of leaked voice notes and call recordings — published by the anonymous outlet Hondurasgate.ch and Spain’s Canal RED — allege that Israeli money helped secure US President Donald Trump’s pardon of former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was serving 45 years in a US prison for trafficking some 400 tons of cocaine. The recordings point to an alleged plot involving Trump, Netanyahu and Argentina’s President Javier Milei to return Hernández to power and destabilise the left-wing governments of Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. But how do we know whether allegations on an unattributed website are true? And does it even matter if they are? David Adler, co-general coordinator of the Progressive International and an expert in Latin American politics, joins Richard Hames to dig into the story, explain its imperial backstory, and what it means to live in an age where claims arrive faster than we can verify them.

We dive into the Church's teaching on Capitalism, Socialism, and how this relates to questions like wealth inequality, AI, and more. Pre-order my novel, The Long Road to Holy Island: https://amzn.to/4sISAC9Get access to my book club, show notes, ad-free episodes and more:  https://patreon.com/gospelsimplicity Make a one-time donation: https://paypal.me/gospelsimplicityBook a meeting: https://calendly.com/gospelsimplicity/meet-with-austinRead my writings: https://austinsuggs.substack.com00:00 Intro to Catholic Social Teaching12:15 Capitalism vs. Socialism37:10 Private Property & Universal Destination of Goods48:10 Subsidiarity & Solidarity01:07:05 Wealth Inequality01:16:20 AI01:30:00 Concluding ThoughtsSupport the show

Jem, Nadia and Keir apply their weird-left lens to the power and potential of shock. Starting with an investigation into economic ‘shock therapy’ and the way that Trumpism models the concept of ‘shock doctrine’, they move onto modern art’s relationship with the ‘shock of the new’, from Dada and Eisenstein to gangsta rap and radio shock jocks. Can you acclimatise yourself to shock either through repetition or training? Can shock be commodified? What other shocks are coming down the pipeline? These ideas and more with musical input from Kylie, Herbie Hancock and Stravinsky.

Are stagnant wages the hidden price tag of a broken healthcare system? On this week's Capitalisn't, Yale health economist Zack Cooper tells Bethany McLean and Luigi Zingales that the U.S. healthcare market is failing because of structural flaws like employer-sponsored insurance, which hides true costs from consumers. He argues this opaque system has quietly become one of the leading drivers of income inequality in America. Cooper explains why standard economic principles break down in healthcare: in one of his studies, the average Manhattan patient drives past six cheaper MRI options to reach the one their doctor recommends. He also shows that when premiums rise equally across a workforce, companies are financially incentivized to lay off lower-wage workers to absorb the cost. And when hospitals acquire physician practices, doctor behavior shifts to maximize hospital revenue, significantly increasing rates of expensive, potentially unnecessary procedures like cesarean sections. Looking ahead, Cooper argues the U.S. will soon face a stark choice to control costs. The system must either roll back employer-sponsored insurance to push more people into the individual market, or expand Medicare to bring more of the public under regulated pricing. If you've ever stared at a medical bill and wondered how those numbers got there, this episode is worth a listen. Connect with us:
