Razz James should have been the toast of Manhattan society. At 28, with an Ivy League pedigree, a prominent family name, and inherent charm, he was poised for flight. But 6 years after his twin brother's death, Razz is trapped in a black hole of grief. His days are a blur of gin, video games, and denial, while his 2 lifelong best friends, Hatcher Boudreaux, a shining star at an elite hedge fund, and Archie Stonebridge, a cybersecurity expert, quietly brace for the moment Razz doesn't come back from the brink. Then, Hatcher receives a cryptic invitation…an offer to join Scepter & Scythe, an exclusive secret society. The initiation challenge is a task so daring few would ever attempt it: steal a memento from Apollo Peck, Hatcher's infamous billionaire boss. Peck's residence, a fantastical mansion perched atop New York City's poshest building, is impenetrable. Fearful of losing his job, Hatcher refuses the assignment, but Razz, intrigued and desperate for a distraction, volunteers. Razz thinks he's executed the perfect crime...then someone turns up dead. What started as a lark quickly spirals into a far more devious and deadly plot with Razz in the crosshairs. In a world where power buys innocence, and the truth is subjective, Razz must unmask the mastermind before he becomes the next pawn sacrificed on the board.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In this episode of Profiling Evil, we'll walk through the prosecution's case against Dr. Tomasz “Tom” Kosowski in the disappearance and alleged murder of attorney Steven Cozzi inside the Blanchard Law Firm in Largo, Florida. The prosecution says a civil lawsuit that began in 2019 gradually became more personal before escalating into surveillance, stalking, and ultimately a planned murderous attack. We'll walk through the timeline, the physical evidence, the digital evidence, and the prosecution's theory of what happened, while keeping in mind that these are allegations presented by the state and that the defense has the opportunity to challenge that evidence. But, this defendant is representing himself and he passed on providing an opening statement. This could be a short trial with a quick pathway to prison.#StevenCozzi #TomaszKosowski #ProfilingEvil #TrueCrime #FloridaCrime #Largo #MurderTrial #CriminalJustice #JakeBlanchard #JakePillsbury #DeborahHendrix========================================Website: www.ProfilingEvil.com========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

She more than doubled her HRV in under a decade, and the behaviour that moved it most was not training, supplements or sleep duration, but going to bed and waking at the same time. This week I sat down with Global Head of Human Performance at WHOOP and author of Aligned, Dr Kristen Holmes, to unpack why sleep-wake consistency is the foundation of a resilient nervous system in midlife. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN - Why is sleep-wake consistency a stronger predictor of mortality and disease than how long you sleep? - How does the contrast between your day and your night affect the severity of menopause symptoms? - What is the physiological sigh, and why did it outperform other anxiety-reducing techniques in the research? - Can you really raise your HRV, and how much of it is genetic rather than modifiable? - Why does eating late at night suppress both sleep quality and overnight recovery? - Why do unresolved trauma and an outcome-driven identity keep your nervous system stuck in fight or flight?

Money, moolah, dinero, or whatever you call it, is essential to our livelihoods. It enables success, gives advantages, and creates growth opportunities. But none of that happens without financial literacy, which many communities lack access to. Yanely Espinal is on a powerful mission to change that. In this episode of Amiga Handle Your Shit, Jackie Tapia sits down with Yanely Espinal, financial educator, author, and speaker, for a dynamic conversation about money management and the importance of honing financial literacy at an early age. Yanely explains how growing up with almost no knowledge about money led to $20,000 of credit card debt and a career in financial education. Today she's not just the author of the money-wise book, Mind Your Money; she's also advocating for systemic change for students through her work with NextGen Personal Finance.As a Dominicana raised in a predominantly Black and Latino neighborhood, she grew up with a cash-only mindset. Those early ideas about handling, not managing, money that are common with many immigrant and immigrant-adjacent communities filter into adulthood. Throughout the conversation, Yanely explains how enforcing financial education at an early age sets young adults up for success. She doubles down on the benefits it brings to minority communities whose understanding of money and the financial systems in our country is already behind. The most powerful moments are when Yanely talks about NextGen Personal Finance. She shares the work the organization has done with lawmakers to advocate for semester-long financial education courses and proudly highlights that 30 states now require them for graduation. Her efforts remind us of what happens when communities stand up for change and create new narratives for success. Tune in to episode 294 of Amiga Handle Your Shit for a lively discussion about money management, financial literacy in underpoverished communities, and tips on how to organize your life for greater wealth.Episode Takeaways:How Yanely's life as a Domincana born and raised in Brooklyn shaped her initial ideas about money (2:32)Why financial education became a gap in Yanely's Ivy League education and how it led to massive credit card debt (10:15)The side hustle that got Yanely out of debt and why she doesn't recommend that route to everyone struggling with debt (16:14)The advice she highly recommends for anyone struggling with money management (17:43)Yanely's path to becoming a financial educator and working with NextGen Personal Finance (21:57)The advancements the organization has made with teachers and lawmakers (22:55)Yanely explains how real change is made at the state level and talks about the work she and NextGen Personal Finance are doing behind the scenes (25:28)Why Yanely calls financial education “the great equalizer,” not the magic wand that solves income inequality (28:56)Her favorite tip for understanding money and how it ties into your self-worth (32:52)Resources:Mind Your Money BookNext Gen Personal FinanceConnect with Yanely EspinalInstagramWebsiteLinkedIn Let's Connect!WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInJackie Tapia Arbonne websiteBook: The AMIGA Way: Release Cultural Limiting Beliefs to Transform Your Life Hosted on Acast.

Luca, Stelios, and Nick discuss Spain's mass protests against the far-left, how even the Ivy League's secret societies are woke now, and the struggle over the Falklands.

In 2004, the nominees for both American political parties attended the same Ivy League secret society. For years, whispers and conspiracy theories have followed Yale's "Skull & Bones." But whatever goes on in there, it's probably less funny than what's in THE SKULLS (2000). PATREON-EXCLUSIVE EPISODE - https://www.patreon.com/michaelandus/posts/741-gentlemanly-168595662

Christian Brothers Academy Head Cross Country Coach Sean McCafferty joins Airey Bros Radio for a deep dive into one of the most storied high school cross country programs in America.Coming off a historic 2025 season, McCafferty was named the Joe Newton Coach of the Year after leading CBA to 3rd place at Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) with a New Jersey-record 15:54 team average. Under his leadership, the Colts have won seven Meet of Champions titles, six Nike Northeast Regional titles and qualified for NXN eight consecutive times.Sean takes us back to his roots in New Jersey distance running, growing up in a running family, his own career at Princeton, becoming a teacher and coach, and eventually taking over the legendary CBA Cross Country program from Tom Heath.We get deep into what has allowed CBA to remain one of the premier high school distance programs in the country: evolving training philosophies, slowing down easy days, threshold training, heart-rate data, lactate testing, building athlete confidence, developing team culture and teaching runners to care about one another.Coach McCafferty also breaks down the modern college recruiting landscape and why the best opportunity for a high school runner isn't always NCAA Division I. We discuss D1, D2 and D3 recruiting, Ivy League academics, social media and Strava, the pressure of coaching a national powerhouse, CBA alumni culture, Nike Cross Nationals and what the next generation of Colts looks like heading into the 2026 cross country season.If you're a high school cross country runner, distance coach, parent, college recruit or fan of New Jersey running, this one is loaded.

This is Empires of the Future, conversations to encourage the Church in a time of change.  How Colleges Produce Socialists Conversations about socialism seem to be multiplying daily, whether they have to do with the shortcomings of capitalism or the election of the mayor of New York City. But how are young people being convinced of the goodness or even just the utility of socialism?  In a recent opinion column at the Wall Street Journal, Kimberlee Josephson outlines a different way that young people are brought to believe in socialism: through the very experience of life on a college campus.  Here we discuss whether the experience of life at an Ivy League campus or even a State School tells the truth about the economics of the situation, and further if socialism itself accords with human nature and the deeper desires of individuals.  https://www.wsj.com/opinion/how-colleges-produce-socialists-41fe4257 "The Empires of the future are the empires of the mind." - Winston Churchill

Black on Black Cinema tackles Chameleon Street (1989), Wendell B. Harris Jr.'s astonishing writer-director-star debut based on the true story of Detroit con artist William Douglas Street Jr., who successfully impersonated reporters, lawyers, an Ivy League exchange student, and even a surgeon, performing over 30 real hysterectomies without any medical training. The film won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 1990, beating out Reservoir Dogs, and then inexplicably went without distribution for over a year, effectively burying Harris's career before it started.The concept is genuinely brilliant, a razor-sharp satire about race, class, and identity performance in America, anchored by a magnetic, one-of-a-kind lead performance from Harris himself. But the execution is a different story. The film is tonally unpredictable, structurally chaotic, and at times narratively difficult to follow, swinging wildly between avant-garde experimentation and straightforward biopic beats without clear rhythm. We break down what makes Chameleon Street a genuine one-of-a-kind vision worth seeking out, where the filmmaking gets in its own way, and why this would be ripe for a modern remake with better structure and focus.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

Episode Summary In this episode, Danielle, Rebecca, and Jenny explore how political instability reaches far beyond elections—entering the body, the grocery store, the workplace, and the relationships people have with their neighbors. Jenny describes the physical relief she experienced crossing from the United States into Canada, revealing how much fear and vigilance her body had been carrying. Danielle brings the conversation into everyday economic life through rising food prices, unreliable food systems, and the growing need for neighborhood mutual-aid networks. The hosts examine fear as an intentional political strategy—one that convinces people to distrust their neighbors, align themselves with concentrated power, and blame marginalized communities for hardships created by corporations, billionaires, and inequitable systems. They connect today's racialized scapegoating to a longer American history of separating poor and working-class white people from Black and brown communities who might otherwise build collective power. Against this manufactured isolation, the hosts offer mutual aid as both resistance and repair. Directly feeding families, knowing one's neighbors, verifying frightening information, and forming relationships across difference can interrupt stereotypes and restore a sense of shared humanity. At the same time, they wrestle honestly with whether local action can become large enough to produce meaningful structural change. Ultimately, the episode argues that fear keeps people divided, while mutual aid helps them remember their interdependence—and potentially recover their collective power. 1. The body crossing a border “When we drove across the border, I—not totally unexpectedly, but uncontrollably—just started crying. I knew my body was holding a lot being in the States, and just stepping away and crossing into another land, immediately my body was like, ‘Okay, you can rest a little bit for the next two weeks.' It's been mostly restful. It's also been complicated, because it feels like such a gift to my body, while also recognizing what my body—as an American in a car with American plates—represents to people here.” —Jenny, 01:27 2. Food insecurity inside an affluent community “We have a lot of mutual-aid projects going in our little neck of the county. Neighborhoods of people are collecting set lists of things because food banks are overwhelmed. They collect it, we put it in a bag, and then some random things get tossed in—paper towels, toilet paper, toothpaste, whatever is needed. We've been trying to provide canned meat as well. Last month, we had twenty-five or twenty-seven bags go out, and over two hundred people were fed. This month, we're hoping to do double. We're in a pretty affluent area, and there's still a high need for food help.” —Danielle, 06:34 3. The promise of proximity to power “So much of it is determined by the people making the most money. Billionaires are doing just fine right now. I think it's the same kind of myth that created whiteness—the idea that if I align myself with the people who hold the most power, I'm going to be okay. Maybe that works for a little while. It's so much more appealing to believe that the next president is going to make eggs cheaper and make all my problems go away than to say, ‘We actually have to face this entire system and figure out how to shift it so that it becomes equitable and sustainable.' That is much slower and harder work.” —Jenny, 11:46 4. Caring about the person beside us “Even if I don't individually take on changing the world or fixing the entire system, there is a simpler, localized perspective: I actually give a damn about the person standing next to me. I care that something, even if it isn't affecting me directly, is affecting them. If we could care about that alone, we wouldn't fall for the lie that because something doesn't negatively affect me, I can afford to ignore it. It might be much more personal than taking on the whole system. It begins with deciding that I care about the humanity and safety of the person standing next to me.” —Rebecca, 13:02 5. A culture that locks itself in “What the documentary boiled down to was the culture of fear that is so rampant in the States. If you travel to many places outside the United States, not everybody walks around with this same paranoia, fear, or distrust. Someone said, ‘We view you locking your door not as locking someone out, but as locking yourselves in.' I've been sitting with that. How do we get people to stop fearing their neighbor before we can get them to care for their neighbor? If you are constantly fed messages telling you that your neighbor is out to get you, it becomes really difficult to reach that place of care.” —Jenny, 14:21 6. Bringing change down to the neighborhood “I think the answer is to pull it down from the rafters—to take it out of this abstract space and bring it into your own neighborhood and your own sphere of influence. Then you realize that your next-door neighbor, who doesn't look like you, is actually a fairly all-right person. You've known them for however long. You know their kids. If you allow yourself to do that, the individual humanity of another person can challenge every stereotype, every preconceived notion, and every othering ideology you hold about an entire group. If you let that sit with you, you might find yourself responding differently.” —Rebecca, 17:07 7. Mutual aid as a form of wholeness “I'm big on mutual direct aid. I really believe in it. I feel so whole and pure doing it—it feels genuinely good. I know it's not always possible, and I'm not saying there isn't a place for nonprofits or other forms of support. But mutual aid was one of the main things that happened in Minnesota: it began knitting together people who didn't agree with one another about everything. Even within social-justice movements, we have a thousand different opinions. But what can you coalesce around? What feels good? What feels right?” —Danielle, 18:11 8. Questioning where our fear comes from “The powers that be leverage fear. They weaponize fear on purpose to accomplish whatever their goal is. We have to ask: Is my fear actually well placed in this moment? Do I have personal, real-life information that tells me my fear is legitimate, or am I basing it on something someone else told me? Is it inconsistent with my own experience? If I see something on social media, my knee-jerk reaction is to check it against two or three other sources and see whether it is grounded in any level of truth. Maybe we could all do that a little more often.” —Rebecca, 19:01 9. Fear is designed to prevent solidarity “The campaign of fear is targeted at making sure that coalescing doesn't happen. The fear is not simply saying, ‘Your vote doesn't matter' or ‘Your voice doesn't matter.' It is saying, ‘You are not like the person standing next to you, and it would be to your disadvantage to align yourself with them.' That is intentional. It is calculated. And it is a tactic as old as this country. What is happening under this administration isn't actually a new set of tactics. It is someone intentionally bringing those tactics back to the front of the room.” —Rebecca, 27:39 10. Dividing people who might otherwise hold power together “Convincing working-class or poor white people that their enemy is everybody else is not new. After Reconstruction, poor and sharecropping white people were taught that there was no value in aligning themselves with newly freed Black people. Together, they outnumbered the ruling class. If they had pooled their resources and voted for a particular way of life, this could have been a very different country. There was a targeted, intentional campaign to separate the groups and villainize newly freed people. Part of the campaign is about values, but eventually they criminalize anything that looks like assistance—anything that looks like help. I would be on the lookout for that next.” —Rebecca, 29:44 11. Scapegoating versus collective power “When so many people are barely making it, people want a scapegoat. Pointing to that scapegoat feels easier, even though their problems are being caused by corporations and billionaires who are pinning people against one another rather than allowing us to work collectively to change things. In France, workers will simply not go to work, and they remind the government, ‘We run this country. You want your trains to run? Don't mess with us.' There is a sense that labor threads the culture and society together—and that people must be adequately compensated for their labor if we want a society that isn't drowning in credit-card debt, bills, and expensive beef.” —Jenny, 34:42 Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.

"You can't always control what's happening to you, but you can control how you react to it. That was the biggest lesson I learned." — Ken Kunken On Halloween 1970, twenty-year-old Cornell engineering student Ken Kunken tackled a ball carrier during a football kickoff and broke his neck. The rehabilitation pamphlet his family was handed listed one possible future for someone with his injury: selling magazine subscriptions by telephone. Ken couldn't dial a rotary phone. What happened next took five decades, three Ivy League degrees, a passed bar exam, a courtroom with doors too narrow for his wheelchair, and more than 200 mailed-out resumes before a single employer said yes. Ken Kunken became the world's first quadriplegic lawyer — and eventually a Deputy Bureau Chief supervising 25 assistant district attorneys — not because adversity left him alone, but because he learned something essential: you can't control what happens to you, only how you respond. His story is a reminder that the people who help us matter as much as the determination we bring ourselves — and that one person willing to give you a chance can change everything. Ken's book, I Dream of Things That Never Were: The Ken Kunken Story, is available in hardcover, ebook, and as an audiobook narrated by Ken himself.

Germania Rodriguez was 11 years old when her family fled Venezuela . Her mother, one of the regime's most aggressive journalist critics, had just been falsely accused by Hugo Chávez's government. Two decades later, sitting in NYU lecture halls, Germania became a Bernie Sanders supporter anyway. In this episode, Germania joins The Curious Middle to explain how someone who watched socialism destroy her home country still fell for it in an Ivy League classroom — and what finally broke the spell.   We get into why the New York Times and Hollywood have a decades-long blind spot for left-wing dictatorships, the actual difference between Norway's social democracy and Venezuela's socialism, why "free stuff" isn't the same thing as the government seizing the means of production, and how Cuba spent 70 years exporting revolution across Latin America. Venezuela went from a top-5 global economy in the 1960s to nearly 9 million refugees and 70%+ of households in poverty in under 30 years. Germania breaks down how that happened, and why the same playbook is showing up in New York City politics right now.   Timestamps:  0:36 – Fleeing Venezuela at 11: her mother's persecution by the Chávez regime 2:00 – Quitting the Daily Mail after refusing to stay silent about the NYT calling Delcy Rodríguez a "moderate" 3:09 – Media bias: is it ideology, or access  5:17 – The NYT's long history of covering for communism 6:29 – Hollywood's blind spot: Danny Glover, Chávez, and a Peabody-winning documentary 8:34 – The cost of being a radical centrist: everyone hates you 9:36 – Confession: Germania was a "Bernie Bro" at NYU 11:04 – What made her fall for it 14:10 – NYU campus culture in 2016, and Bernie's Castro comments 15:47 – How moral superiority becomes an excuse for authoritarianism 16:12 – Is anyone actually moving toward the center? 17:06 – The John Leguizamo clip: confusing social programs with socialism  18:34 – What "socialism" actually means, according to the DSA's own website 20:11 – Venezuela's refugee crisis: nearly 9 million fled 20:39 – 71–73% of Venezuelan households now live in poverty 21:12 – How Venezuela went from a top-5 global economy to collapse 25:25 – Less than 30 years to destroy a country 25:43 – The same playbook, today, in Zohran Mamdani's New York City 26:39 – Where's the actual red line between healthy social programs and socialism? 27:58 – Bodega owners vs. taxpayer-funded competition 28:34 – What government should do — and where it should stop 30:57 – Gun control and Chávez's disarmament of Venezuelans 2:04 – NYC rent control and the housing supply death spiral 33:22 – "If I were a billionaire, I'd fund a sexy pro-capitalism Netflix show" 34:12 – Norway vs. Venezuela: what makes one work and the other collapse 36:05 – Why progressive support for Chavismo is its own kind of racism 37:53 – Cuba's 70-year role exporting revolution across Latin Americaa 39:49 – Did the US actually win the Cold War?  40:44 – "Democracy privilege," and forgetting what's at stake

Hello! This week Chris, Mike and James go nuts on the mic in a major way. First off, Mike apologizes for an editing catastrophe, then James regales his co-hosts with the Greatest Story Ever Told aka he had squirrels in his roof and was possibly swindled by a pest control worker. But then Michael tells the story of Luigi Mangione, a hunky son of privilege who grew up in a wealthy family, attended an Ivy League school and had a lucrative job as a data engineer. All seemed well in Luigi's world until he injured his back in a surfing accident. At this point, he became so enraged by America's private healthcare system that he murdered a health insurance company CEO on the streets of New York City. Now that's a spicy murderball! Enjoy?***ANNOUNCEMENTSBe sure to check out Chris' beautiful creation RD World 5000 RIGHT HERE!Michael's brand new standup album PIZZA PALS is out now!

Today's Headlines: The Trump family received a conditional bank charter for their crypto firm World Liberty Financial — co-run by Eric Trump and Steve Witkoff's son — allowing them to issue their own stablecoins, which means more money for them and more risk in the financial system. Meanwhile, Disney and ABC are suing the FCC for retaliating against them politically by reviewing their broadcast licenses two years early over Jimmy Kimmel, The View, and DEI — citing Trump's own Truth Social posts. In other news, Meta's jury trial started in California with four states seeking billions in damages and platform reforms, alleging the company deliberately designed addictive features for children, studied how to maximize that addiction, and collected data on under-13s without parental consent while hiding all of it — with 25 more states going to trial later.  A DOJ whistleblower filed a complaint alleging the Ivy League antisemitism task force pressured universities into settlements with little to no evidence, calling the investigations "predetermined" political PR stunts designed to suspend federal funding — with career attorneys overruled when they objected. Pete Hegseth flew to Iowa on a taxpayer-funded military aircraft in his "personal capacity" to explore a 2028 presidential run while sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln are still stranded at sea, ships are being attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, and at least one sailor was killed near Oman. Trump is also pushing aides to arrange a Kim Jong Un meeting this fall, apparently believing he can convince North Korea to give up a nuclear program they've been building since the 1990s, while simultaneously saying the Strait of Hormuz is under control as two more ships were attacked. In more food recall news, Outshine fruit bars were recalled nationwide due to possible glass contamination, because apparently popsicles are also not safe anymore. And finally, Florida primary results are in: Trump's pick Byron Donalds will face Democrat David Jolly in the governor's race, and abusive congressman Cory Mills lost his seat.

Americans are more isolated, polarized, and depressed than ever in recent memory, and yet many citizens share a deep desire for community and friendship across political lines and in new creative ways. How may we bridge that gap? To help answer that most pressing question, in Episode 2 of Season 6, I have as our guest the philosopher, essayist, and author, Ian Marcus Corbin. A graduate of Yale Divinity School and Boston College, Mr. Corbin is a senior fellow at Capita, the program director of Harvard University's Public Culture Project, and the author of To Arrive Where We Started (2026). Drawing on his book, we discuss the human longing for belonging as the way to deal with our modern crisis of loneliness. We begin with Corbin's journey from a teenage Christian punk rocker raised by hippies-turned-Pentecostals into an Ivy League philosopher working at the intersection of neurobiology and culture, and along the way, we also discuss texts from T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets to Stefan Zweig's The World of Yesterday, Plato's Symposium, Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, and Karp Polanyi's The Great Transformation, not to mention figures like Black Elk and Roger Scruton, as well as Corbin's personal friendship with Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy. Hosted by Ryan Shinkel, Madison's Notes is the podcast of Princeton University's James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions.

What will it take to confront antisemitism at America's elite universities? Dan is joined by Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, whose 2023 questioning of three Ivy League university presidents became a defining moment in the debate over antisemitism on college campuses. Drawing from her new book, Poisoned Ivies, Stefanik argues that the crisis reflects decades of systemic ideological bias, failed leadership and money from Arab countries buying academic influence. They discuss what it will take to confront antisemitism at America's elite universities, and whether government intervention risks creating new problems of its own.

If you're a college student getting ready for recruiting season—or the parent of one—this episode could not come at a better time.Deborah Klein Glasser knows the job search from both sides. After Cornell, she built a career in marketing and consulting at companies including Pepsi, Colgate, PwC and Starwood Hotels, earned her MBA from Wharton, and today, as the founder of Pathfinder Consulting, helps college students and young professionals figure out what they want, tell their story and stand out in a very competitive job market.We talk about what actually makes a candidate memorable, how to use the Cornell alumni network without sounding transactional, why networking can feel a lot like dating, and how to answer that dreaded interview question: “What's your biggest weakness?”Deborah also tells us whether an Ivy League degree really gives you an advantage, what to do after an interview, how persistent is too persistent, and why parents need to know when to help—and when to step away.And somehow a serious conversation about interviewing leads to Michelle's disastrous typing test, Deb's cheap green interview suit and Steph nearly losing circulation in her leg during a law school interview.Whether you're looking for an internship, preparing for on-campus recruiting, starting your first job search—or trying to help someone who is—Deborah's advice makes the whole process feel a little less intimidating and a lot more manageable.

How can higher education scale its reach without sacrificing academic rigor or student outcomes? In this episode of An Educated Guest, host Todd Zipper sits down with Dr. Vijay Kumar, Dean of Penn Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, to discuss the changing landscape of engineering, robotics, and academic leadership. Drawing on nearly 40 years of experience as a researcher and administrator, Dean Kumar shares his vision for expanding educational access and explains why measuring higher education excellence through selectivity alone misses the broader purpose of institutional impact.The conversation dives deep into Penn's pioneering efforts in modern learning, including expanding their online graduate programs to reach thousands of non-traditional learners worldwide. Dean Kumar unpacks Penn's decision to launch the Ivy League's first undergraduate degree in Artificial Intelligence—emphasizing "Intelligence Augmentation" and systems engineering over simple software generation. He also shares how AI is reshaping classroom assessment, driving faculty toward Socratic oral exams, team-based problem solving, and higher-order critical thinking.Finally, the discussion explores the power of cross-disciplinary collaboration and university commercialization. From developing an AI-driven mRNA Biofoundry alongside Penn Medicine to building an entrepreneurial ecosystem that takes robotics startups from university labs to the Nasdaq, Dean Kumar offers a hopeful, forward-looking playbook for the future of higher education. Tune in for a masterclass on technology, pedagogy, and institutional leadership.

T.M Landry was a small independent school in Louisiana that gained national fame for sending kids from disadvantaged backgrounds to Ivy League schools. The viral videos were inspiring. The acceptance letters were real. But behind the scenes, the school doctored transcripts and fabricated personal stories to get students in – and behind closed doors, students endured psychological and physical abuse at the hands of the school's founders. In this episode, we talk with the two New York Times reporters who broke the story – Erica L. Green and Katie Benner, authors of Miracle Children: Race, Education, and a True Story of False Promises.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

HOUR 3 (08/10) - Gary & Shannon cover the day’s biggest stories in #WhatsHappening and #SwampWatch, including the deadly Colombia earthquake, a cooling trend across Southern California, a fatal boating incident near the Statue of Liberty, and President Trump’s latest comments on Iran. They also dig into the bizarre trend of people sneaking onto elite college campuses, posing as students, sitting in on classes, and sometimes even trying to live the campus experience without actually being enrolled. Plus, after a full day of listener lobbying, Elmer finally picks his NFL team.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The mishandling of student protests over Israel's war in Gaza brought about the resignation of three Ivy League University Presidents in 2023 and 2024: Liz Magill of the University of Pennsylvania, Claudine Gay of Harvard, and Minouche Shafik of Columbia University. A fourth Ivy League President, Cornell's Martha Pollack, also resigned, but claimed that she was considering stepping down prior to the protests. Strong calls were also made for Sally Kornbluth of MIT to resign amid the protests. Something that struck me at the time was that all five of these prestigious university presidents were women. This is not to say that the same would not have happened had men been in charge at the time, but it surprised me how much women were taking over the ranks of university education. For more perspective, not including interim presidents, the eight schools that make up the Ivy League have had 173 top leaders in their histories. During their long and distinguished histories, it was not until 1977 when Yale's Hanna Gray became the first female to hold that position in an Ivy League school. Maurie McInnis now holds that position. But since Hanna Gray, the top positions have increasingly gone to women—15 altogether. Why such a turnaround? What does it mean? At the end of this Tomorrow's World telecast, I'll show you how one woman led Israel to victory when masculinity was a matter of question and seemingly in short supply. I'll also show you that the turnaround that we see in today's western society was prophesied 2,700 years ago in the pages of the Bible.

Ayotunde Ejiko is only 20 years old, but somehow he has already fit an extraordinary amount into those 20 years.He grew up in Nigeria, moved to the United States at 11, became one of the top high school sprinters in Washington, D.C., and learned early that when something isn't working, you don't just complain about it—you figure out how to make it better.Today, Ayotunde is a Division I sprinter at Cornell studying Information Science and Sociology, while also fitting in internships, campus organizations, community work, friends and everything else that comes with being a college student.We talk about what it was like moving to America as a kid with an accent, why he started speaking up for other students during COVID, and how those experiences shaped the way he thinks about leadership and creating change.Ayotunde also takes us inside the intense world of sprinting, where you can train for months for a race that lasts about 10 seconds. He tells us how he ended up at Cornell, why he initially couldn't believe an Ivy League school wanted him, and why one of the most important things he has learned at Cornell is that sometimes you simply can't do everything at once.We also talk about his interest in the intersection of people, technology and data, what he's learning from his internships, and how he thinks about a future that is still very much taking shape.Despite everything he's already accomplished, when we ask what he ultimately wants, his answer is refreshingly simple: to be happy, keep learning and leave the world better than he found it.And of course, we had to find out exactly what a Cornell sprinter is—and isn't—willing to sprint for.Ayotunde is smart, funny, thoughtful, curious and incredibly driven. We have a feeling he's just getting started.Special thanks to Tony Chen for introducing us to Ayotunde, thank you!Instagram: ayoitstundeCornell Track and Field profile: https://cornellbigred.com/sports/mens-track-and-field/roster/ayotunde-ejiko/85711Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University

I'm delighted to connect with Dr. Lanna Cheuck today. She's a board-certified urologic surgeon who transitioned from academic medicine into a distinctive career in medical esthetics. In today's conversation, Dr. Lanna shares her inspiring origin story, and we explore the influence of sexual health and genitourinary syndrome of menopause, common symptoms women experience, and why so few women receive treatment despite how common the condition is. Dr. Lanna explains non-surgical treatment options that improve blood flow, increase orgasms, and improve pelvic floor health, and discusses the influence of senescent cells, the celebrity non-surgical facelift, and how GLP-1 medications influence facial aging. She also shares interesting insights on Korean skincare benefits versus a concierge U.S.-based system, clarifies what biostimulators are and how they stimulate collagen production over time, and explains the influence of PDGF growth factors, cadaver fat transfers, energy devices, and estrogen used on our faces. Stay tuned for a fascinating conversation filled with practical insights into women's health, medical esthetics, and healthy aging.  IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How the continuum of symptoms associated with genitourinary syndrome of menopause is often dismissed as something women simply have to live with The value of vaginal estrogen, and how many women are still denied that treatment due to outdated concerns following the WHI study Non-surgical procedures that can improve blood flow, collagen, elastin, lubrication, sensitivity, orgasms, and pelvic floor health, and why Dr. Lanna considers them regenerative sexual health rather than cosmetic procedures Why it's essential to seek practitioners with extensive training for intimate procedures Dr. Lanna's celebrity non-surgical facelift combines multiple approaches to address every layer of facial aging. How rapid weight loss associated with GLP-1 medications can accelerate facial aging The advantages and limitations of Korean esthetics, and how it differs from a concierge U.S.-based approach What biostimulators are, and how they stimulate collagen production Why Dr. Lanna introduces energy-based devices according to skin quality rather than age alone Dr. Lanna shares her perspective on using topical estriol or estradiol for facial skin Bio: Dr. Lanna Cheuck, DO, FACS, is the CEO, Founder, and Medical Director of LC Medical PLLC with multiple locations and her flagship in the heart of midtown Manhattan.

Spiritual health isn't about following a specific religion, meditating on a mountaintop, or taking the sacrament (unless you want to do those things). It's about something deeper—our connection to something greater than ourselves, our capacity for faith, and the hope that carries us through life's challenges. Dr. Lisa Miller is a New York Times bestselling author of The Spiritual Child and The Awakened Brain. She's a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, and the founder of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute—the first Ivy League graduate program dedicated to the study of spirituality and psychology. Her groundbreaking research has been published in over 100 peer-reviewed articles, and she's a sought-after speaker, working with the U.S. military, Fortune 500 companies, schools, and healthcare organizations to integrate spirituality into mental health and leadership. Spirituality isn't just a belief system—it's a proven driver of resilience, purpose, and well-being. In this episode, we dive into: ✔️ How spiritual health impacts mental resilience and emotional well-being ✔️ The neuroscience behind spirituality and how it physically changes the brain ✔️ Why faith—whether in God, the universe, or your inner wisdom—makes you stronger ✔️ Practical ways to nurture your spiritual health (without needing a formal practice) Because here's the truth: Whatever created you, lives within you—and that alone makes you inherently valuable, worthy, and powerful.
