Podcast appearances and mentions of James E Ryan

Wednesday, and it's David Waldman and Greg Dworkin's last live appearance before Explodey Day! Probably not their last alive appearance, though. They don't seem the types to screw around with such things. Zohran, the Destroyer! Zohran, the Magnificent! Zohran, the Relatable! Nothing scares Democrats more than winning, because if you win... you could lose. And yet… sometimes a win or two will slip in, like in New Jersey, or maybe around San Diego. Of course, winning just invites death threats. Don't worry Dems, Trump says he holds all the levers, and well, he kind of does. Paramount anted up its $16 M (to make $8 B), and the bag gets passed back to CNN. Lisa Murkowski got hers, if you want any, you be a Senator. Trump had a great time in the undrained swamp. What is it about “Alligator Alcatraz” that seems to resonate with MAGA? Does it harken back to a time America could rediscover its lost… greatness? Sean “Diddy” Combs escaped sex trafficking and racketeering charges but was convicted of a prostitution offense. Jimmy Swaggart would probably forgive that, but can't look to Donald Trump for forgiveness, for the moment. Jared L. Wise, who wanted to kill police on Jan 6, has been given an opportunity to do so at the DOJ. University of Virginia president James E. Ryan took one for the team, and the team's hundreds of millions in federal funding and resigned, to give Trump his biggest kill yet. LOL libtards! What happened to all that tariff disaster you said was heading our way? Wait… Oh, this just in….

Join me and James E. Ryan, President of the University of Virginia, to hear Jim's wisdom on leading in a pandemic as well as a period of acute racial and political upheaval.  You will be humbled and heartened to learn from his learnings.

Theme of the week: Questions Questions are powerful and we discuss questions we use that have been helpful in life. Spoiler: "What would this look like if it were easy?" makes the cut. Things we mention: "Wait, What?" by James E. Ryan (shorter version in a video) Moe Shalizi on Short Story Long "Tribe of Mentors" by Tim Ferriss (book)

Whether we're in the boardroom or the classroom, we spend far too much time and energy looking for the right answer. But the truth is that questions are just as important as answers, often more so. If you ask the wrong question, for instance, you're guaranteed to get the wrong answer. A good question, on the other hand, inspires a good answer and, in the process, invites deeper understanding and more meaningful connections between people. Asking a good question requires us to move beyond what we think we know about an issue or a person to explore the difficult and the unknown, the awkward, and even the unpleasant.
