“I've had the experience of having some wonderful supervisees, many of whom have done quite fine work and where it has not been an issue of any kind of great concerns. And allowing the candidate to see what's written and also discussing it with them, obviously makes it quite easy for them to get both positive input, but also at times, input that will help them evolve and deepen their work even more.” Episode Description: We begin by exploring the critical role of case writing in psychoanalytic training, discussing Stephen's concept of "a fourth pillar of analytic training." Stephen introduces the dynamic interplay between writing and self-reflection, arguing that the act of writing illuminates resistances, countertransference, and areas of growth that might elude the analyst in supervision or personal analysis. He shares his innovative "three-minute chess match" technique for identifying the heart of a case narrative and reflects on his journey—from his mother's poetry to his current work mentoring candidates in the art of case writing. We explore Stephen's insights on the 're-immersion anxiety' that can inhibit case writing, and how addressing these resistances transforms the writing process and deepens clinical work. We conclude with a discussion of how the process of writing fosters an enduring capacity for self-supervision and analytic insight. Our Guest: Dr. Stephen Bernstein, MD is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and has chaired a discussion group on writing about analytic cases for over 30 years. He is a prolific author, including his recent paper, The Process of Case Writing: A Fourth Pillar of Analytic Training, published in the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association. Dr. Bernstein's work highlights the centrality of case writing as an essential tool for self-reflection and professional development. Beyond his focus on writing, he has contributed to the field with early research demonstrating the compatibility of preparatory psychotherapy with psychoanalysis and continues to mentor candidates, fostering their growth as analysts and writers.

"I don't know what to do about this because we do have to use clinical material. It's the best tried and true method in which to inculcate analytic thinking in our students and supervises. On the other hand, we are so indebted to our patients and their trust in us and our responsibilities as ethical practitioners not to divulge their privacy. Principles are what we're trying to teach, we're not trying to teach people, we are not trying to teach that person, the case is not what we are teaching, but the principles in the case." Episode Description: We begin by acknowledging the tension between our commitment to patient confidentiality and our need to learn, teach and advance our field through the sharing of intimate information. We discuss the difference between using clinical examples to reveal particular individuals as opposed to illustrating principles in psychoanalysis. Barbara describes the well-known case of a famous author whose analyst revealed identifiable details of his analysis in a publication. She shares why she feels that co-writing with one's analyst about one's treatment is problematic - "it stretches the concept of co-construction to a clinical breaking point." We consider how presenting a patient publicly impacts the analyst's interiority and lives on in the treatment. We close with recognizing the challenge of confidentiality and appreciating "the insuperable predicament posed by the mutually exclusive imperatives of protecting patient privacy and educating the next generation, as well as ourselves. Remembering that ego ideals are only approximations is our most effective balm." Our Guest: Barbara Stimmel, PhD, is an adult and child psychoanalyst in New York city where she has practiced for the past several decades. She teaches and supervises widely and has contributed to psychoanalytic journals as well as editing and contributing chapters in several books. She has also presented papers, discussion groups and workshops in the wide world of psychoanalysis. She has held offices in psychoanalytic institutions on the local, national, and international level. Barbara is involved at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York, where she sits on committees, has taught residents, and serves on the Palliative Care team. She is on the President's Council of Sanctuary for Families, an organization devoted to women and families surviving domestic violence and trafficking. She also sits on the Shakespeare Council of The Public Theatre in New York. This diversity of interests is reflected in the variety of topics within psychoanalysis and psychotherapy about which she has written, presented, and taught. In some sense, confidentiality is part and parcel of any clinical topic, regardless of theory and patient population. Recommended Readings: Crastnopol, M. (1999).

Despite the Federal Reserve's efforts to tame inflation by cooling the economy with its aggressive "higher for longer" interest rates and Quantitative Tightening, the US has managed to avoid recession. Consumer spending has held up, largely due to the "strong" jobs market. But is that likely to remain the case going forward? And if not, if unemployment starts to rise significantly, what should we expect? Mass layoffs? A recession? A correction in the financial markets or home prices? Or none of these? To find out, we have the good fortune to speak today with Michael Kantrowitz, chief investment strategist & managing director at Piper Sandler. He's created the HOPE framework, which provides a way for us to track recession risk, and gives us the ability to project what's likely to happen next for the economy. Michael's forecast is surprisingly nuanced and contains elements both bulls & bears should heed. WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

You can download the MP3 to see how limited my creative skills are, even when using advanced AI.The lyrics are mine and include the following:[Verse]That Was The Week No time to be Meek The goal is to Seek The Next Big Thing [[Chorus]That Was The Week That Was The Week Stand Back Think Big Dig Deep That Was The WeekI'm starting with this in honor of the essay of the week written by Rohit Krishnan - “Whither Utopia”. Rohit charts the rise of utopian ideas (before that was a pejorative term), and the fall of utopian thinking. Toward the end of the essay he states:Instead of grand narratives the focus became on micro narratives, skepticism of rational progress, and, perhaps consequently, a reliance on technology to be the answer.Micro narratives pervade technology today, while macro narratives are frowned upon or described as dangerous. OpenAI has become a magnet for hostility to big ideas and transformative technologies.Rohit points out that technology may have obviated the need for large social thinking about organizing the world. I think that may be a temporal anomaly. As AI improves productivity and frees humans to have more leisure time (in the negative lexicon, “eats jobs”), the macro narrative around wealth distribution is likely to raise its head loudly.So the theme this week is “Stand Back, Think Big, Dig Deep.”It seems very likely that AI, or at least the LLM version we are experiencing now, will remove hours and hours of monotonous work from many humans each week. It seems very likely that the world will become cleverer as Apple introduces AI to the iPhone in Junes WWDC, and Android follows suit. Billions of us will have a ready-made, multi-skilled assistant. Increasingly, it will be able to carry out tasks and report results. It also seems likely that physical beings running computers with this AI embedded, will be capable of real-world tasks. And it seems likely that we will be able to raise science to a new level, as the Chinese diabetes technology reported below demonstrates. Oh, and the entire world will have access to these new skills and tools. The trend will be towards them being free.We are on the verge of an era of enormous advancement in what we can collectively do.So, this is not a time for fear, complaints, or accusations. it is a time to get stuff done.PWC adopting ChatGPT and Apple reportedly doing so are early signals of a new technical revolution.China's $47 billion semiconductor fund (see below) will undoubtedly be able to leverage AI to make advanced semiconductors faster than we made the first ones.The new world will challenge all of today's institutions and require new social arrangements, both globally and locally, as the earth flattens from an economic and demographic point of view and human demands regarding work are reduced.You can't have rapid technical s***s without equally dramatic social s***s. Rohit's historical survey of utopian thinkers demonstrates that all greatly impacted how societies evolved. This generation needs to ask some big questions, dig deep for answers, and do so from an overview of where we are and where we want to go. This is a public episode.

As @Om Malik explains in one of this week's Essays of the Week, OpenAi won in this high-stakes battle.Make no mistake — the reason OpenAI is achieving all this success (and hype) is because they have a product that for now is stellar. Nonetheless, OpenAI has created excitement that reminds me of the emergence of Palm, and later social networks. They stoked the imagination, and possibilities. Of course!Om is right. Sam Altman did his own post later in the day of the announcements:First, a key part of our mission is to put very capable AI tools in the hands of people for free (or at a great price). I am very proud that we've made the best model in the world available for free in ChatGPT, without ads or anything like that. Free to consumers, or 8 billion earthlings, is possible due to the revenues OpenAI can make from business users. It represents a very big step forward. The company also released a desktop app, initially on the Mac, that can interact with other apps.But for me, the best way to think about what was delivered, aside from free, is summed up in this week's title—Eyes, Ears, Hands, and Mouth. OpenAI has enabled every smartphone camera on the planet to become the AI's eyes and ears. Both still images and video can be used as inputs to a conversation. Of course, the microphone, too. This week's video of the week shows this for teaching a student how to solve a math problem. The mouth reference acknowledges that we can now speak to ChatGPT in a human-like way, including cross-talking and interruptions. And, of course, we can still type using our hands.This changes the problem of giving AI data—images, video, sound, and speech can all become data for input and learning.They also gave chatGPT a memory. It can remember things across sessions. The scope of what will now be possible is expanded to a much longer list.Rohit Krishnan writes about what comes next in his essay:The true change will come once we can enable large numbers of them to work together. And we're getting glimpses of how they can do this across all modalities that are important to use. Whether that's writing code or seeing something or listening to something or writing or reading something or a mixture of all of these.He is talking about AI to AI interactions that can produce even better and faster outcomes. I did this myself earlier in the week. I was asking ChatGPT to create a chart showing the performance of the SignalRank Index against the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ over the 2014-1019 period.ChatGPT did not have the NASDAQ data, so I asked Claude.ai for it. Once I had it I went back to ChatGPT and it completed the work. Here's the chart:It seems clear that almost any problem that can be described, shown, listened to can now be given to ChatGPT and answered.Eyes, Ears, Hands, and mouths are all part of our intelligent robotic future, too. The building blocks for rapid productivity advancement are being put into place.Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz discuss the implications for manufacturing in their podcast this week.This was a very important week.

Stu Levitan's guest is UW history professor Stephen Kantrowitz, whose new book should be of special interest to those of us here in Teejop. It's Citizens of a Stolen Land: A Ho-Chunk History of the 19th Century United States from the good people at the University of North Carolina Press.If you are like most Americans with an immigrant background, you probably think citizenship is a good thing, because it confers rights and privileges. But for Native Americans in the 19th century, it was something quite different – it was a way to destroy their collectivist culture and ultimately steal their land. Until some Native peoples – notably the Ho-Chunk – figured out how to use citizenship and private property rights to reclaim land and preserve their identity. The Ho-Chunk story in the Removal Era is one of both settler/colonial violence and conquest, but also one of Ho-Chunk resistance, persistence, and return.It is a story Stephen Kantrowitz is very qualified to tell. He is the Plaenert-Bascom and Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor of History an affiliate faculty member in American Indian Studies and Afro-American Studies, here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, teaching courses on race, indigeneity, politics, and citizenship. His previous books are More Than Freedom: Fighting for Black Citizenship in a White Republic, 1829-1889 (Penguin, 2012) and Ben Tillman and the Reconstruction of White Supremacy (UNC Press, 2000).And of particular interest to me, he co-chaired with Dr. Floyd Rose, president of 100 Black Men of Madison, the chancellor's committee in 2018 that produced a very knowledgeable and nuanced report on KKK on campus.

Today LIsa Dettmer will pay tribute to Jewish lesbian feminist writer and activist Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz who died way too soon in at 72 in 2018 and who was a personal shero of mine and who I have been remiss in celebrating on this show. Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz was a very important activist and writer, who made multiple theoretical contributions to understanding Judaism, lesbianism, and feminism as intersectional identities, extended an awareness of class and economic justice through a Jewish lens, and made visible racial differences within Jewish communities. Kaye/Kantrowitz was the founding executive director of Jews For Racial and Economic Justice and advocated Radical Diasporism as a progressive alternative to Zionism. First we will hear a reading by Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz from her last book “The color of jews: Racial Politics and Radical Diasporism” . and then I will talk Melanie's long time partner Leslie Cagan who is herself a long time lesbian feminist activist in peace and social justice movements and who was a chair of Pacifica Radio at one time as well. In the second half-hour, producer Chana Wilson speaks with along-time International Women's Rights activist and author. In 1993, Zainab founded Women for Women International, a foundation that supports women survivors of war and conflict. Then a year ago, she co-founded “Daughters for Earth.” Daughters for Earth provides resources to women around the world doing nature conservation, restoration, and regenerative agriculture projects that are contributing to solving the climate crisis. In the year since its founding, Daughters for Earth has funded 50 women-powered projects to protect and restore the earth. These projects span the globe, with projects in India, Africa, the Arctic, South America, Asia, the Middle East and the United States. For info about Daughters for Earth go to daughtersforearth.org/ The post Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz and Zainab Salbi, appeared first on KPFA.
(This video originally aired on April 18, 2023. We are replaying it, along with a few other of our most significant interviews of the past year, while Wealthion host Adam Taggart is dealing with a death in the family). I've said several times recently on this program, perhaps the most important and yet least appreciated trend that will drive our economic destiny in 2023 will be the lag effect. This refers to the delayed shockwaves the economy experiences when central banks make changes to monetary policy. We experienced one of the sharpest-ever reversals in policy a year ago, but most of the impacts from that have yet to be fully expressed, as they take many months to ripple through the economy before we can see them. Which is why we're so fortunate to speak with today's guest, Michael Kantrowitz, chief investment strategist & managing director at Piper Sandler.

Can prices keep rising, or is there a painful reckoning ahead? Let us help you prepare your portfolio just in case the future brings one or more of the following: inflation, deflation, a bull market, a bear market, a market correction, a stock market crash, a real estate bubble, a real estate crash, an economic boom, a recession, a depression, or another global financial crisis.

Visit storyrealestate.com. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/20/its-official-student-loan-payments-will-restart-in-october.html It’s official: Student loan payments will restart in October, Education Department says Over the three-year-long pause on student loan payments, the U.S. Department of Education has repeatedly told borrowers their bills were set to resume, only to take it back and provide them more time. This time, however, the agency really means it. The Education Department posted on its website that “payments will be due starting in October,” and a recent law passed by Congress will make changing that plan difficult. It will likely be a big adjustment for borrowers when the pandemic-era policy expires. Around 40 million Americans have debt from their education. The typical monthly bill is roughly $350. “For many borrowers, the payment pause has been life altering — saving many from financial ruin and allowing others to finally get ahead financially,” said Persis Yu, deputy executive director at the Student Borrower Protection Center. President Donald Trump first announced the stay on federal student loan bills and the accrual of interest in March 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. and crippled the economy. The pause has since been extended eight times. Nearly all people eligible for the relief have taken advantage of it, with less than 1% of qualifying borrowers continuing to make payments on their education debt, according to an analysis by higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz. As a result of the policy, the average borrower likely saved around $15,000 in student loan payments, Kantrowitz said. The Education Department notes on its financial aid website that “Congress recently passed a law preventing further extensions of the payment pause.” It is referring to the agreement reached between Republicans and Democrats to raise the nation’s debt ceiling, which President Joe Biden signed into law in early June. In exchange for voting to increase the borrowing limit, Republicans demanded large cuts to federal spending. They sought to repeal Biden’s executive action granting student loan forgiveness, but the Biden administration refused to agree to that. However, included in the deal was a provision that officially terminates the pause at the end of August. Even before that agreement, the Biden administration had been preparing borrowers for their payments to resume by September. The Education Department says borrowers will be expected to make their first post-pause payment in October. Meanwhile, interest will start accumulating on borrowers’ debt again on Sept. 1, the department says. As the Biden administration tries to ready millions of Americans to restart their student loan payments, there’s one big open question that may make that preparation difficult: Most borrowers don’t know what they’ll owe in the fall. That’s because the Supreme Court has yet to issue a verdict on the validity of Biden’s plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student debt for borrowers. A decision is expected this month. Around 37 million people would be eligible for some loan cancellation, Kantrowitz estimated. Roughly a third of those with federal student loans, or 14 million people, would have their balances entirely forgiven by the president’s program, according to an estimate by Kantrowitz. As a result, these borrowers won’t owe anything come October. For those who still have a balance after the relief, the Education Department has said it plans to “re-amortize” borrowers’ lower debts. That’s a wonky term that means it will recalculate people’s monthly payment based on their lower tab and the number of months they have left on their repayment timeline. Kantrowitz provided an example: Let’s say a person currently owes $30,000 in student loans at a 5% interest rate. Before the pandemic, they would have paid around $320 a month on a 10-year repayment term. If forgiveness goes through and that person gets $10,000 in relief, their total balance would be reduced by a third, and their monthly payment will drop by a third, to roughly $210 a month. Education Department Undersecretary James Kvaal recently warned that if the administration is unable to deliver on Biden’s loan forgiveness, delinquency and default rates could skyrocket. The borrowers most in jeopardy of defaulting are those for whom Biden’s policy would have wiped out their balance entirely, Kvaal said. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/madelineleesman/2023/06/19/ny-post-teacher-called-a-student-despicable-after-questioning-her-classmate-who-identifies-as-a-cat-n2624666 Teacher Reportedly Calls Student ‘Despicable’ for Challenging Peer Who ‘Identifies As a Cat’ A 13-year-old girl and her friend were reportedly called “despicable” by one of their schoolteachers last week after one of them challenged their classmates about “how she identifies as a cat" after a lesson about gender ideology. The 13-year-old girl and her friend are reportedly students at Rye College in the United Kingdom. The school is affiliated with the Church of England, according to the New York Post. The students were in their end-of-year lesson on “life education” where they were told they can”be who you want to be and how you identify is up to you.” After the lesson, one of the students asked her classmate: “How can you identify as a cat when you’re a girl?” As a result, the schoolteacher reprimanded the student and her friend and said that they were being reported to school officials. And, the teacher reportedly said that they would no longer be welcome at the school if they “continued to express the view that only boys and girls exist” The girls informed the teacher that their parents would agree with their views on gender ideology, that someone's gender is not different than their biological sex. “Well that’s very sad as well then,” the teacher reportedly said in response, adding that “if you don’t like it you need to go to a different school.” A parent of another student at the school told The Telegraph that “what bothers me is the shutting down of debate in such a threatening and aggressive manner, which I don’t believe is appropriate in an educational setting.” “Regardless of the subject, education should serve to build awareness of differing points of view to widen the understanding of a subject. It shouldn’t be a case of indoctrination,” the parent added. https://thepostmillennial.com/crime-so-out-of-control-in-san-francisco-stores-are-locking-up-candy?utm_campaign=64487 Crime so out of control in San Francisco, stores are locking up candy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78gt7pfjlCU - Play Video - 1:26-1:4 San Francisco residents that are looking to satisy a sweet tooth will have to go through a series of extra steps as candy is now being locked up in stores amid rising crime in the not so 'golden' city. While Butterfingers, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Starbursts, and M&M's are locked up behind bars, illegal drugs are readily available for consumers as they flow rampant down the city's streets that are plagued by urine, human feces, and homeless vagrants looking for their next hit. In order to fend off thieves, San Francisco store owners have taken extra measures to combat rampant retail theft and are locking up merchandise up and down store aisles, which now includes candy. A photo taken by the Daily Mail at a Walgreens store shows a mixture of America's favorite chocolate and gummy candies confined behind a sheer box with a lock on it. If consumers want to purchase a KitKat or a Hershey's Kiss, they will have to ring an alarm for a store associate to come and assist them in grabbing the item off of the shelf. A security guard at the Walgreens on Powell Street which is home to San Francisco's famous cable cars told Daily Mail that, "Theft is constant." He told the outlet that a homeless man who stole from the store earlier in the day appeared a few hours later only to commit another theft. Major businesses and retailers have recently announced that they are shuttering their locations in the once-booming downtown corridor, with all citing similar reasons for the departures: rampant retail theft, loss of foot traffic, homeless vagrants attacking employees, and other safety concerns. These businesses include Nordstroms, Whole Foods, T-Mobile, Walgreens, Old Navy, and now the entire Westfield shopping center. While the San Francisco City Council has weaponized the local criminal justice system, turning it into a revolving door for repeat offenders and enacting laws that prevent police making arrests for petty theft, a Muslim immigrant and business owner, whose store was recently ransacked by a pack of thieves, said that crime in the city is now worse than it is in both Afghanistan and Iraq. https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/biden-admin-gave-university-over-2m-for-monitoring-microaggressions/ Biden Admin Gave University Over $2M For ‘Monitoring Microaggressions’ The National Institutes of Health has, since September 2021, been funding a $2.2 million program at the University of Miami examining how "microaggressions" affect "Black cisgender queer women" who have HIV. According to a grant listing from the Department of Health and Human Services, the program, known as Monitoring Microaggressions and Adversities to Generate Interventions for Change, seeks to discover how "comments, jokes, and behaviors that are demeaning to a marginalized group" affect health outcomes. Queer black women with HIV "live at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities and within social structures that take a daily toll," the grant description states. However, the impact of microaggressions on this group has "largely been ignored." The program is supervised by Sannisha Dale, an associate professor of psychology, who chairs the department’s Diversity and Equity Committee. Dale's first contact with the project was in 2019, according to the University’s website. Through text messages and regular visits, the grant team monitored 151 women to understand how microaggressions affected their daily levels of distress and consumption of medication. "[Microagressions] can be someone saying, ‘She doesn’t look like she’s positive,’ as if HIV has a face," Dale said. "Or ‘I’m HIV negative, I’m clean,’ as if someone else is dirty." The Biden administration has shown a willingness to shell out cash for LGBT initiatives. Biden’s most recent budget proposal included a $400 million State Department program to help LGBTQ Africans access the internet. In January, the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded a grant to translate a gay dictionary into Spanish.

I've said several times recently on this program, perhaps the most important and yet least appreciated trend that will drive our economic destiny in 2023 will be the lag effect. This refers to the delayed shockwaves the economy experiences when central banks make changes to monetary policy. We experienced one of the sharpest-ever reversals in policy a year ago, but most of the impacts from that have yet to be fully expressed, as they take many months to ripple through the economy before we can see them. Which is why we're so fortunate to speak with today's guest, Michael Kantrowitz, chief investment strategist & managing director at Piper Sandler. He's created the H.O.P.E. framework - Housing, Orders, Profits & Employment -- which provides a way for us to track the progression of those shockwaves, and gives us the ability to project what's likely to come next. #housingmarket #recession #marketcrash ************************************************* IMPORTANT NOTE: The information and opinions offered in this video by Wealthion or its interview guests are for educational purposes ONLY and should NOT be construed as personal financial advice.

Guest Alex Kantrowitz is the founder of Big Technology, a combo newsletter-podcast news operation analyzing the systems in the tech world that drive what we see in the headlines. He launched Big Technology on the back of his wildly successful book Always Day One, which gives a behind-the-scenes view into how Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft have “stayed on top” by operating in Day One: Instead of hunkering down and protecting core advantages, they reinvent constantly. Kantrowitz most recently served as senior technology reporter at Buzzfeed, and he regularly appears on CNBC to break down the news surrounding the tech giants. He penned the Tech Giant Update newsletter at BuzzFeed. In that role, he fell in love with the back and forth with readers, and found that the live replies with his audience were incredibly heartfelt and informative. It then comes as no surprise that he's now made a newsletter his de facto journalism format. Prior to Buzzfeed, Kantrowitz spent time writing for Forbes and Ad Age. He reported on marketing technology at Ad Age, which gives him a really interesting perspective at the intersection of technology disruption with advertising and commerce. He studied at Cornell University where he wrote for the Cornell Daily Sun and co-hosted WVBR's Weekend Pulse. His radio background shines in his Big Technology podcast and furthermore when he appears as a guest on shows such as his appearance here on Boston Speaks Up. In this episode, we discuss with Kantrowitz his journey to starting Big Technology, his modern media business monetization model, recent news such as the spiral of Silicon Valley Bank, his time in Seattle working on Always Day One, the impact of AI, the future of Big Tech, and much more.

But his most recent project has put him in the interesting position of being hip hop's preeminent quizmaster. After piloting a Hip Hop trivia night (which evolved into a online show) called The Questions with his cousin DJ Steve 1nder, Sean has reached uncharted heights for a real hip hop head, his trivia game has just hit the streets thanks to Penguin Random house publishing. Sean was kind enough to join Nate and Demone for a conversation about gamifying hip hop and much more. During the funky intro Nate and Demone talk about the board games they played growing up. On the B-side Nate attempts to stump Demone with trivia queries from the Questions Hip Hop Trivia game. "Dodododo it's the audio daily double!"

About Jessica I'm a writer. I write poetry as well as creative non-fiction, essays that examine aspects of my life or the world around me and try to find the deeper meaning and connection in what I observe. I also write about media and culture, faith, and the intersection of the two. I wrote a sort of sermon once and it went viral. I write for places like Sojourners, Think Christian, The Good Men Project, the Madeleine L'Engle Blog, Our Bible App, and Together Rising. I'm an author. I have three published books and am working on my fourth. The Long Night, Readings and Stories to Help You Through Depression came out on May 19th, 2020 through Broadleaf Books, and its companion book, Blessings for the Long Night: Poems and Meditations to Help You through Depression will be out on April 19th, 2022, also through Broadleaf Books. In between those I self-published the “peace poems” I'd been writing into Twitter every evening for a year as 365 Days of Peace: Benedictions to End Your Day in Gentleness and Hope. I also created a journal to go with 365 Days of Peace. I'm a theologian. I have a BA in World Religions and a Master of Divinity in Christianity. I've traveled to Israel, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco, and Europe to study Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. I did part time ministry for many years — leading worship, teaching the Bible, leading discussion groups, working with teens, and teaching English as a second language. After I graduated I went to work for a campus ministry, doing interfaith outreach, but burnt out after a year and a half of fundraising and training. I try to use my education and experience in my writing, both to deepen my perspective and to minister to my readers. I'm an editor. In my editing work I help scholars from all over the world who are working on academic dissertations. I've also edited books, journal articles, newsletters, cover letters, and more. Find out more here. I'm a workshop leader. I've developed and teach the Finding Your Voice Writing Workshops for aspiring writers who struggle with depression or other mental illness. https://jessicakantrowitz.com

“Everyone was all for inclusion. There wasn't anybody who felt that this movement for inclusion was anything but good. But there were a lot of worries that in our focus on inclusion that we've turned away from thinking about the teaching of analysis per se - of what goes on with the analyst and the patient, teaching how we work with people, how we think about people. Countertransference can get lost in this way. Even though there is a focus on the countertransference in terms of discrimination, but that is just one factor. So, there was a lot of concern that we could lose interest in development and interest in intrapsychic life." Episode Description: We begin by referring to Judy's first podcast (#83) where she reported on her interviews with former analysands about the nature of their termination experience. She has continued to rely on personal conversations to learn about the inner life of individuals in her current project of interviewing analysts over age 70 about their life in psychoanalysis. We discuss their generativity, their resilience, their personal difficulties, and their vision for the future of our field. Common to many respondents is their greater comfort in using themselves in their clinical encounters. We discuss the challenge of understanding long-term patients who maintain ongoing contact with their analysts seemingly without plans for termination. We conclude with Judy sharing with us her personal experiences of termination, loss, and her own resiliency and passion for her work. Our Guest: Judy L. Kantrowitz, Ph.D. is a training and supervising analyst at the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute and formerly a Clinical Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, now a corresponding member. She is the author of four books, The Patient's Impact on the Analyst (1996); Writing about Patients: responsibilities, risks, and ramifications (2006), Myths of Termination: What Patients Can Teach Analyst About Endings (2014), and The Role of Patient -Analyst Match in the Process and Outcome of Psychoanalysis (2020). She has served three times on the Editorial of JAPA and won the JAPA paper prize for 2020. She is currently on the board of The Psychoanalytic Quarterly. She is in private practice of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy in Brookline, MA. Recommended Readings: Erikson, Erik H: The Life Cycle Completed. New York & London W.W.

Jonny reviews a story of Nevada indigenous protestors of a lithium mine on sacred land rejecting representation by the organization, Deep Green Resistance, because of their anti-trans positions. He reviews why and how Two-Spirit identity is necessary in environmental advocacy and other social movements. He then reviews how legislative assaults on LGBTQ+ and Trans rights are colonialism at its worst, using hate and divisiveness to distract us from bigger issues requiring collective action. In the back half of the show her reviews data that LGBTQ+ and particularly Gay and Lesbian folks are getting vaccinated against CoVid at a higher rate than heterosexuals, and why that might be. He ends with an obituary for Arnie Kantrowitz, co-founder of GLAAD, who died from complications due to CoVid.

"It’s very exhilarating to have shared an in-depth experience with another person the way you do as an analyst. You know the inner workings of people’s struggles, of their strengths, and of the things they overcome. We’re granted such a privilege to be part of someone’s’ world and to be able to help them get more freedom and more pleasure in that world, and when it works well, the patients are really exhilarated in the end." Episode Description: Dr. Kantrowitz discovered many facets of the analytic process, termination period, and post-analytic time that challenge assumptions under which the field has been operating. She derived these conclusions from detailed interviews with 82 individuals who had completed their analyses. We review the common post analysis intrapsychic processes that former analysands face and recognize that neither certainties nor formulas do justice to the authenticity and variety of their experiences. We discuss the multiplicity of affects that accompany endings and review the delicacy of negotiating the closeness and distance that the two individuals may face in post-analytic contacts. We conclude with Dr. Kantrowitz sharing some of the personal meanings that her interest in termination has had for her. Our Guest: “Hard to believe; I have been doing psychoanalysis for almost 50 years. I began my training at a time when psychologists were not permitted to analyze patients except for research purposes. If not for this requirement, I wonder whether I would ever have begun a research project since my interest was only in being a clinician — and it is true to this day. Since my early progressive education taught me to question authority, it was always hard for me to just accept what we were taught. My research has been in investigating issues that made no sense to me: the ability to predict who is analyzable in advance; psychoanalysis as a one-person enterprise; countertransference as inevitably pathology rather than informative; how we preserve confidentiality in writing about patients; there being only one way of terminating a psychoanalysis. My interest has always been in character. I have always been a reader of novels, wanted to be a writer originally but lacked that imaginative ark. I've been lucky to find a way to integrate my love of character and writing in my professional work. I have written four books: The Patient's Impact on the Analyst (1996); Writing about Patients: responsibilities, risks, and ramifications (2006); Myths of Termination: What patients can teach analyst about endings (2014) and The Role of Patient - Analyst Match in the Process and Outcome of Psychoanalysis (2020) as well as over 40 papers. Over the years my writing has become more and more purely clinical, and I have felt increasingly able to be more personal, hopefully without being inappropriate, in what I write. I love to supervise, to teach, to mentor and have been fortunate to have ample opportunity to do all of that as a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute as well as working with many other analysts in other states. Psychoanalysis has also provided me with a world of colleagues many of whom have become close friends. My hope is that I have helped to convey and provide for others some of the richness and joy that psychoanalysis has brought to my life. Recommended Readings: Kantrowitz, J.L. (2015).

Transcript Jason: [0:24] Welcome to the Jason and Scott show this is episode 237 being recorded on Thursday September 24th 2020, I’m your host Jason retailgeek Goldberg and as usual I’m here with your co-host Scott Wingo. Scot: [0:40] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott showed listeners tonight on the show we are really excited to have the author of the book released, this April always day one so if you’re familiar with Amazon that maybe a hint of what we’re going to talk about tonight and he’s also the host of the big technology podcast. Alex kantrowitz welcome to the Jason Scott show. Jason: [1:05] We are three of the have you Alex I’m not remotely implying that this is why you wrote the book but Scott is a sucker for anything Amazon so it’s the fastest way to get on our podcast is to write an Amazon book. Alex: [1:17] Well you don’t even need to imply it I mean it was absolutely the goal and I’ve waited a long time but I’m glad to finally fulfill it here with you guys tonight. Jason: [1:25] Yeah well very well played also for for folks that have already read the book or are going to read the book as a result of this interview, so as not to trick you the book is actually about more than Amazon but you wisely chose to elevate the Amazon portion to the title of the book which totally worked with Scott. Scot: [1:42] Wait wait the whole books not about answer. Jason: [1:45] Scott’s pretending like he hasn’t read the book but obviously being the consummate professional he is he’s read everything you’ve ever written. Before we jump into the book Alex the first thing we always like to do on the show is get a little background I got about the guests and kind of find out how how you came to your current role so could you tell us a little bit about yourselves. Alex: [2:05] Definitely so I started my career buying digital ads right at the moment where Facebook was surpassing Myspace in the social media Arena, and just watched it happen as a practitioner bought those ads and I spent about a year selling ad Tech, in New York and just it was writing about it on the side and a certain point realized that this world was changing so fast that I’d much rather write about it professionally, then do what I was doing it might have been just a function of the companies I was at but for me I saw there were so many stories that the media were was either getting half right or missing completely and, you know I love doing the work and you’re digging up what was going on and finding a way to tell it to an audience and just kind of made the leap so I covered the advertising industry in particular at first working for ad age then went to BuzzFeed to cover like Facebook and Google and Snapchat and Twitter, and while I was there just decided to go ahead and write this book always day one which looks really at the different Tech Giant work cultures that, exists out there and the whole point of the book is these companies are moving to where the future of work is is going and we have two options one is we can like sit and fear them or two as we can call up their work. [3:27] Their work systems and actually give them a run for their money and, thrive in the workplace that they’re dominating and for me the idea was basically get the word out there and get the information out there and that was sort of the inspiration. [3:40] Behind always day one is and then just as the book released I quit BuzzFeed, I started my own publication called Big technology I what you call it in the intro its Weekly Newsletter and podcast that covers the tech Giants and it’s sort of. Building on my work on Amazon and the other Tech Giants. Jason: [3:56] Very cool and how are you finding being a podcast hosted. Alex: [4:01] I mean I love it I just think there’s something special about being able to connect with people in a podcast I mean you guys know because you’ve been doing it for, more than three years but the relationship you have with people who are putting on your show and giving you a chance you have to give almost your undivided attention, you know when you have a show on in your in your headphones and your on a run or driving or you know going for a walk I think it’s just an amazing way to communicate with people and allows for the Nuance that I think tap it topics in the world that we’re living in today deserve so I don’t know I mean I couldn’t be more thrilled with getting into the podcast world. Jason: [4:41] Nice well speaking for ourselves. It’s way better for lazy people because you know you just hit record your ramble for a bit and you have a show like you don’t have to write all those words and you know get judged by an editor and, you know and it’s frankly harder for the audience to give you feedback so you don’t even have to hear how much the audience hated it. Alex: [5:03] Let’s see if you can work out an arrangement like that and any form of content production you got to make that happen. Scot: [5:10] Yeah I like it the just be careful about the audio Engineers they tend to be prima donnas that’s my big advice to you having done this for a while. Alex: [5:18] That’s right yeah got to make sure that you don’t have anything clicking in the background. Scot: [5:22] Yes yes drives them crazy. Jason: [5:24] Scot hasn’t stopped fidgeting for the four years that we’ve done the show I’m just saying right, we’ve tried to buy him quieter chairs you name it we’ve tried it I apologize to all the listeners that have to do with it. Scot: [5:37] Fidgety guy. Jason: [5:38] Yeah so before we jump in the book I did, the book starts out like even in the preface you’re having this this big interview moment with Mark Zuckerberg, you you actually got it seems like really good access to a lot of the leaders in their senior management team that you wrote about. Did was there some trick to that like was that just from your what Your journalist career up to that point and and your reputation or I mean like frankly I feel like there’s a lot of other, journalists that have written books and didn’t have that kind of access you were able to secure for yourself. Alex: [6:15] Yeah I mean I wasn’t as easy as it comes across in the final Edition I can tell you guys the story quickly if you want to hear how it all came together. So I was covering Facebook for years here in San Francisco or what you know I mean I’m not in San Francisco right now but it’s where I live and, and so I told them I want to write this book based off of this interaction I had with Mark Zuckerberg and they said okay we’d be in Google said they can be in because I’ve been covering them for even longer and then the ones I didn’t have were Amazon Microsoft and Apple. And for me Amazon was going to be the key because I thought that you know if I’m writing a book about work culture Amazon has a pretty distinct in fascinating culture and for me nailing that that section of the book was going to be. [7:05] Super important so even before we actually sold the book I booked a ticket to Seattle. One way and I agreed to cats it for my friend’s moms cat lady the cat. And basically said like all right if I sell the book hopefully I’ll get access but one way or the other I’m in Seattle until I’m out with the story. And you know then we sold the book the day that I landed, and I met with Amazon PR few days later basically said look like this is going to happen. And Facebook is on board Google is on board and I’m not leaving Seattle until I’m done what do you think. What’s let you know help me make help me tell like the most complete the most accurate story and let me actually get some people on record. And they hadn’t participated in a book since the everything store which is Broad Stones book that came out I think in late 2013. For 2014 so I didn’t have high expectations but I guess they figured hey we have this reporter that’s roaming around Seattle, he’s already got these other two companies on board maybe he’s going to get you know some of the other fourth and the fifth so we might as well you know. [8:17] Get out there and tell our story you know for ourselves and you know see if he’ll incorporate some of it and honestly like you know more I the overwhelming majority of the interviews that I did for the Amazon chapter. [8:32] We’re with people who are not sanctioned through the company’s PR organization so I feel like people get the real story and, this chapter it’s not just like a sugar coated repackaging of a press release but that said, the people they did let me speak with we’re pretty invaluable I got a chance to speak with Jeff Wilkie who’s leaving but he’s their CEO of what consumer and then it from very interesting Lee Ralph her brick who was their head of, machine learning who helped bring about this like pretty fascinating automation program in the headquarters that took a lot of the work that there are people in their retail organization we’re doing, and automated it and it was great to have a conversation with him talking about how that project originated I had done some reporting outside but he was the guy that ran, and so it was great to like bring the stories I had heard and sort of get his perspective on it and then I was able to visit a couple of fulfillment centers as well, so you know I think as a reporter for me I’m always trying to tell the most complete story I think you’re missing out if you do only interviews you know outside the company, I think you’re missing out if you only take access interviews and so I think always day one is a you know if I have to say it like it’s a pretty good blend of both, I think it’s the first book ever that Amazon Microsoft Google and Facebook have participated in together an apple. Jason: [9:56] Scott Galloway is really pissed about that by the way. Alex: [9:59] I think Scott Scott’s doing fine and he blurb the book so yeah so yeah but but yeah Scott’s Kia Scott and I like I think there’s like great Synergy between the four, and the thing that I wrote I mean I his book almost inspired me right his is all about the strategy. You know what are they doing and always day one is more about how are they doing it look at the inside the work systems in the culture, but have led to produce what these companies are you know are building so yeah and I mean like lastly Apple you know as per tradition didn’t participate but I got a chance to sit down with Steve Wozniak, in a barbecue joint right outside of Cupertino and sort of. Very end of my reporting on Apple share what I have learned from him learned and and get his perspective on it so apples out but wozniak’s and I’ll take it. Scot: [10:54] Very cool the I definitely want to dig into the Amazon stuff but before we do I wanted to Fanboy a little bit on CNBC I’m a huge CNBC junkie the are you in the Silicon Valley office there with like John 14 those guys. Alex: [11:07] So I’m a contributor I’ve been appearing on CNBC as a guest for about four years and then when I left BuzzFeed you know I had an opportunity to go out and be a free agent and, work with anybody that I wanted to and CNBC and I got to talking and, we started be a pretty great connection for between the two of us were you know again like I’ve been doing all this reporting on the tech Giant’s if you look at the S&P 500 they make up 25%, of the of that index and supposed to be something that’s fairly well distributed across the economy and you have five companies taking up a quarter of it right so, obviously it underscores how important these companies are you know to overall health of business in the US and the US economy which is what cnbc’s known for us the leader in covering so, for me it was a great opportunity to go up there and be able to you know drop in when they need meat and and give my thoughts and share some of my reporting. And it’s been great so far we were a couple of months in but it’s just been a real awesome experience to be able to appear on their shows from time to time. Scot: [12:19] Yeah yeah they do a really good job I like the Silicon alley and that’s probably where you do most of your appearance on mentioned because that’s when they talk mostly Tech right. Alex: [12:26] Yeah I mean I’m still working my way into meeting everybody but honestly the number one show that I’ve been on a Squawk Box by a long shot, so you know Ike I love doing squat Buck show I feel like those host won’t let you get away with anything and there have been times where Kieran and Andrew Ross Sorkin of, called me on certain statements and we’ve had to have little discussions on are about it and honestly if you’re going to do live TV those that’s the way to do it right like. Let’s have let’s have some fun let’s you know not allow people to get away with statements without really thinking deeply about them and thinking about the repercussions and you know I feel like I learn every day I learn something every time I’m with them and, and I don’t know it’s just I walk away from each appearance saying man that was fun let’s do it again. Scot: [13:14] Yeah very cool so I could talk about that for the whole show but I don’t want to Bernard Bernard time let’s take an Amazon what were as you as you kind of dug in there’s been some writing about day one and Bezos have been pretty open about it in his shareholder letters, what were some of the surprises that you as you dug into the Amazon culture then also there was the you know there was that kind of famous New York Times article I think that, 2015 about in a kind of headline from that one was people crying at their desk and. Amazon was very unhappy with that you know what were some of the surprises that you got from your Amazon interviews. Alex: [13:51] Yeah I mean man that New York Times story we should come back to that because I think it’s pretty fascinating look I think we talked a little bit about the day one thing obviously it’s the title of my book Let’s just you know touch on it super quickly write the idea inside Amazon with day one isn’t you know work morning evening and night you know keep your foot on the gas pedal even though many people there do but day one really means like think like a start-up right don’t be burdened by Legacy keep Reinventing, and whatever Amazon does today if you have an idea of something you know to do it better just just talk about it and do it because, the companies literally operating it’s as if like it is one of those companies on its first day without the burden of we have to support our existing businesses or this is just the way we do things around here okay so you said that now here’s the question how do you do that right so it’s one thing you know all these companies have like your missions and visions of they put like some Backwater in their internet and never talk about it ever but Amazon’s really been able to live this always day one mentality and I think they like the rest of the tech Giants have been able to do it in two ways one. [15:02] Because they rethought the way that we do work and this modern era, so throughout our history throughout the history of the Work World almost all work has been done to support existing products I mean think of the factory right, you would have one guy come up with an idea like let’s make screwdrivers, and then everybody in every employee that he would hire because almost always a he right would be making in the factory making screwdrivers and if you say hey let’s make hammers they laugh at you because employee ideas, we’re just not a thing that they would pay attention to and that age then in like the 70s we moved to the knowledge economy were all of a sudden we say, all right workers are supposed to come up with ideas or we’re relying on their knowledge, but even still almost everything that people in the office do is just supporting existing products you know you might be moving numbers around in a spreadsheet but you’re not coming up with new inventions. By and large in today’s knowledge economy I think what Amazon and the tech Giants have done is sort of flipped the whole equation on their head they’ve used, technology to minimize that work supporting existing products which I call execution work and maximize the amount of time their employees have. [16:15] For inventing for coming up with new ideas, and bringing them to life and so they first reimagined work and once you re imagine working create that room, for your employees to come up with ideas you need to actually innovate on the channels that bring ideas to decision makers. I think Amazon has done a terrific job with that as well they’re famous for the vi pager process were instead of PowerPoints you know people right. [16:42] Ideas for new products down in a six-page document as a narrative single-spaced often 11 Point font calibri you know style and then they just share it through out and of course it’s good for crystallizing your thinking and catching up Executives you know really quickly on projects that you are proposing as opposed to like going through a game of telephone but what that I do what the whole concept of writing things up. Doesn’t Amazon is it just make sure that that ideas can get from. Employees to decision makers in as quick a time as possible so that’s sort of like the trifecta you know in the always day one equation right it’s think like you’re a startup don’t worry about Legacy. Use technology to minimize execution work make room for ideal work and then create channels to bring ideas from employees to decision-makers in as quick a time as you can. Scot: [17:37] So I started a company that interacts a lot with Amazon and Google and eBay and Facebook and whatnot, and it’s really interesting just from the partnership perspective to interact with all those companies because the thing that’s really amazing at Amazon is you’ll have a discussion with someone relatively senior there, and they know the details of everything and that you’ll do a similar discussion with another company and they’ll have to kind of start looping in more and more people from the from various teams you know so if you have a shipping question they’ll be well let me get Larry the shipping guy in and Sally the, payments lady in. But you’d have that same discussion with an Amazon executive and they just know the business so deeply it’s it’s a little scary sometimes and then then you’ll go you’ll think oh that’s an aberration it’s just it’s just this guy and then you’ll go, you know eight other people and they all know it just as well as the original person did you find that as you met various people. Alex: [18:32] Oh yeah I mean think about the amount of knowledge that’s contained in one of those six page documents and then how many conversations you would have to have to replicate that. And it’s totally unbelievable how well I just think about the way meetings working Amazon. In most companies would have meetings look like right you end up sitting down with a bunch of people you probably spend ninety percent of the time. Thinking about what you’ve done up until that point and 10% of the time. You know actually digging into the business and making decisions at Amazon you read that 6 pager and then that whole 90% you know figuring out what we’re doing is done by the time someone says a single word. So of course they’re going to be you know well-versed on what the business is doing just because like that’s just the way Amazon operates so, yeah I would say that the people that I spoke with had just this deep domain knowledge it was almost as if they’re all you know CEO level expertise and Amazon in a way that you don’t find elsewhere. Scot: [19:39] Yeah do you do you think that basis will let’s say he leaves do you think this culture will be so calcified in there that it will keep going or do you think eventually they’ll stagnant. Alex: [19:54] Yeah I think look the culture at the end of the day is going to come from whoever the leader is I do think like you know I do think CEOs have an outsized influence in the way the culture, operates inside a company that’s why when CEOs were like oh I wasn’t aware of how this toxic bubble happened or this toxic Behavior happened I always laugh a little bit because it’s like. Yeah okay maybe you weren’t there day-to-day but you certainly set the tone that allowed this stuff to happen. So Bezos I mean first of all I don’t think Bezos is going to leave anytime soon you know I when I was in Seattle reporting this book and in the time I’ve spoken with Amazon employees since my impression was always that Jeff Wilkie, would be the guy to take over if pesos left and milky leaving to me is sort of a clear indication that Bezos has no plan. To go anywhere anytime soon so I expect Bezos to leave that company for a long time, to come you know as for whether the culture will change here’s my prediction if it’s somebody internal it won’t change very much because they’ve seen, how that culture has been so effective in getting Amazon to where it is but like if Mark Zuckerberg took over Amazon after Bezos left you better believe it’s going to be a different company with him running the show. Jason: [21:09] Oh yeah sorry that was that was hard to imagine for a second there. Alex: [21:14] Never Say Never because actually Zuckerberg and I write about this little bit in the book but zeca Berg ask Bezos to go and Shadow him for a couple of days you know Zuckerberg had this thing and it happens common in Silicon Valley where CEOs will ask other CEOs to spend a couple of days just watching how they work. And and so Zuckerberg had Shadow Don Graham the CEO of the Washington Post and Don said you know Mark you’re not going to learn anything from me but end up being pretty you know impactful in terms of Zuckerberg ability to lead Facebook and then Don Graham eventually sells the Washington Post to Bezos but Zuckerberg knew we had a relationship even before hand and he said Dom Don you know can you introduce me to Jeff and he said sure. So Graham asked Bezos stiff Zuckerberg can Shadow him and done Graham was you know pretty involved with Facebook you as a board member and so just said okay let me make this asked and Bezos calls him up and says hey Don look it’s a great idea but the only thing more distracting than having Mark Zuckerberg follow me around all day would be having Angelina Jolie in the office, and so unfortunately we’re going to have to pass on this idea and why when I brought it up to Zuckerberg he seemed like absolutely dejected he’s like yeah you didn’t let me in I was so funny. So anyway I don’t think it’s such a random idea you know maybe Zuckerberg snake doc next ACT is doing some sort of e-commerce business. Jason: [22:41] No I’ve not maybe at that level of CEO but there have been a couple like pretty public examples of these CEO swaps we’re not just shadowing each other but where they trade jobs for a week which is pretty funny and Illuminating. Alex: [22:55] Yeah that’s a fun hypothetical what happens to Facebook if Zuckerberg if Bezos runs it for a week what happens to Amazon if Zuckerberg gets his hands on the thing for for a week or two that might be interesting. Jason: [23:07] Yeah I have a hypothesis but I maybe I’ll save it for later in the conversation I do want to unpack a couple things so first of all you do right. A lot about the engineers mind and it’s kind of a thread throughout like a number of the. The Deep Dives and I certainly think of Jeff as a, as an engineer although he’s not a formal engineer but as having an engineer’s mind and so I always wondered why he doesn’t call it Day Zero instead of day one that’s has always bugged me. Alex: [23:40] Well that’s right I mean yeah we got to take points away from besos. Jason: [23:44] All the coders are pissed because day. Alex: [23:45] Believe yeah he is a trained engineer though he just hasn’t worked in it for a while. Jason: [23:50] Fair enough. Alex: [23:51] Education is in engineering yeah. Jason: [23:53] Yeah so. One of the things that’s been fascinating to me and maybe we have to jump into another part of the Amazon story that you wrote about and hands off the wheel but but hold just a sec on that right like you talked in the beginning and this to me is like one of the fascinating insights from the book that you know just this whole evolution of, hey in the industrial revolution it was all about execution and you could add the most value by being good at execution and ideas were like almost. Not useful and then you know ideas where a small percentage and and you know today we’re in this culture where ideas are the most difficult thing to replicate and we can. You know frankly execution is easier it’s easier to Outsource and increasingly you can automate it and throw a i at it. And so. In the context of the Amazon story you you sort of have the example of a program than Amazon run called ran called hands off the wheel and when I let you explain it and then I’ll pick back up. Alex: [24:56] Yeah and you guys asked up the top like what the most interesting thing I found in the book was and hands off the wheel no doubt was it so I heard some Rumblings that Amazon was automating. White-collar work and its retail organization and I thought okay well this is something to investigate, and it turns out that they’ve been running this program called hands off the wheel it was originally called project Yoda by some people and they’re saying basically instead of having Amazon’s retail employees the vendor managers. You know do things like order products and figure out their pricing and do inventory management and even negotiate with vendors, we can hand that all off to machine learning based off of all the data that they had. So they started it around 2012 where they said hey like we have almost two decades of data at our disposal. Can we figure out the way to do this work that our vendor managers would with technology instead. And it took a little bit of time but eventually they are predictions got pretty good and so those predictions started to end up in the retail employees software tools were instead of them like typing in, you know where they wanted to, you know put certain units of product the a I would suggest it and they could either say yes or override it. [26:22] And then at a certain point right around 2015-2016 Amazon’s executive said hey these predictions are pretty good, and instead of giving our employees a chance to override them in the system’s why don’t we let them make the actual calls and then see what happens and allow them to learn, they can adjust the machine learning tools and so they said essentially take your hands off the wheel. And they gave them pretty high goals some employees told me as much as eighty percent of all the work that they used to do was now handed off to machines and basically what they would do. Is audit and just say okay did you get it right and you know are there trends that we that the machines don’t know that we should try to account for like for instance you could have 30 years of historical, knowledge but not retail knowledge but when something like a fidget spinner becomes hot how do you then, let the algorithm know that it should start ordering some fidget Spinners because it’s not going to know but on its own it does nothing to work with. So Youmans actually became more Auditors and doers and eventually their work became much less important inside Amazon. [27:30] And so typically when you hear stories like this you’re just like oh those people are gone owners like obviously the company fires them but the amazing thing about this story inside Amazon is instead of firing these employees. Amazon just made you know many of them product managers and program managers basically professional inventors inside the company. Where they said okay well your jobs automated but we still need you to build new things and it’s this prototypical example of a company using technology to minimize execution work right because like, you’re buying stuff but you know doing inventory management inside Amazon was basically supporting an existing product that could run on autopilot you know anyway. And it gave them time to come up with new ideas so it maximized idea work and allowed for reinvention and that’s sort of been to me one of the main secrets to Amazon success over the years and your listeners will know it’s not the only thing but I think it’s certainly one of the big headlines, that’s enabled Amazon to stay on top for so long. Jason: [28:29] I know for sure I mean I basically my career is helping people compete with Amazon right and most of the unsuccessfully and I totally agree with the the fundamental premise of your book. You know clients are always asking me like what what Amazon’s fundamental advantages and they’re like is it you know the massive fulfillment capability they have or the huge product category catalog they have or the, you know the flywheel and Prime and now you know those are all super valuable things, but but my firm belief is that their biggest fundamental Advantage is their corporate agility and their ability to just. Evolve and react faster than other companies and it’s largely because of a lot of the principles that you captured in the book. Um but what I’m not convinced about I’ll just be honest is the hole. Repurposing of these employees so I so I had an interesting view to hands off the wheel my many of my clients were the brands that sell on Amazon and they hated hands off the wheel right because. If you think about it if you’re a consumer packaged good company you sell the Walmart and Target and Amazon and the way you are good at your job is, you you got those buyers to come to lunch with you and you built personal relationships and you you know you hope that you influence them to buy a little bit more of your product instead of the other guys. [29:53] And so as Hands on the Wheel started getting implemented those those vendors. Lost a human to talk to and to smoother than to wine and dine and it became this ridiculous thing like, haha my competitor lost their Vendor Manager but we’re so big we still have one, and I always had to break the news to you yeah you have one but they they don’t do anything they just go to lunch with you and then the hands off the wheel algorithm still decides how much of your stuff to buy. So it’s. I’m curious Amazon’s famously good at hiring people and they have super high standards they have this whole bar razor program which I’m sure you ran into so so they they used all that to hire the best vendor managers they could hire. And then they obsoleted that job which was totally to their credit. Presumably the people that they hired as the best vendor managers are not the best inventors or idea people and so it. Like I haven’t seen evidence that it’s not working for them obviously but it just like him like in my mind fundamentally it seems like. Huh hiring a bunch of people is buyers and then turning them into program managers and product managers because you obsoleted their job doesn’t on its face sound like a recipe for Success like it seems like you could hire better program managers. Alex: [31:15] Yeah well let me yeah let me give the counter-argument here right. I fully agree with you that this experience has been frustrating for first party vendors with Amazon no doubt about it. But it also happened in a broader context where Amazon was saying okay we’ve we’ve rode the first party Marketplace to a certain point, for us to be able to expand to the next point we’re going to need to really foreground the third-party Marketplace and our fulfillment and Logistics services, so it changed the business definitely changed right but this is again the whole idea that you think about when it comes to all these day one is are you going to hang on to your asset. Milk it for all it’s worth or are you going to build for the future may Microsoft’s a good example Microsoft’s number one asset was Windows for a long time. [32:04] And it became the number one desktop operating system company in the world and remained so long after desktop operating systems were an important anymore because mobile operating systems became the most important operating systems in the world and only after realized to let go of its asset then it sort of was able to reinvent himself as a cloud services provider. And became what it is today as opposed to what it was just a few years ago, laughing stock so yeah Amazon did definitely meet transform itself in that way and those Transformations are in Easy they’re painful, I mean think about how terrible people in the windows division felt inside Microsoft after they were like the kings of the castle for you know their whole lives and then they realized that they were just kind of, on the outside looking in. [32:51] And so yeah from a from a first party vendor situation it’s painful and doesn’t doesn’t feel right and might look like Amazon is blowing its lead but it was also this part of this necessary transformation that happened you know maybe before it needed to but kept Amazon, you know moving forward in a way that’s helped it. Maintain its dominance today to Second point of your question I’m going to give a broader answer and then a more specific answer the broader answer is, I think in today’s economy we have to stop looking at people as like you know folks who do one thing and of course yes specialization is important and it takes time to learn, to learn you know sector specific skills but on the other hand all of our economy is becoming more abstract you know you have to be able to be nimble and think about things differently and you know maybe move to a couple of different jobs throughout your career I remember Basil’s was sitting with. Walt Mossberg at the recode conference or maybe it was all things D at that point and you know. [34:02] Basis was talking about her work at Amazon you need to be open to change and if you’re not interested in change. Of course you should find a more stable career. I mean the joke is that there are no more stable careers like that like one of the things he said is go you know become an insurance adjuster and Walt Mossberg said well they use iPads now and basil said Insurance soon enough they’ll be using machine learning and it’s true, right now insurance is the field where. Jason: [34:30] The Drone flies over the hurricane area and writes all the adjustments now like a hundred percent. Alex: [34:36] Yeah I know I know I’m you know rambling on a bit but I do really think that so so yes if you are a you know. Fire that’s that’s the type of career that you want to have you’re going to have some trouble but if you thinking more broadly about being an adult being the person who could succeed in this economy, it’s not about job functions it’s about skills and thought process which Amazon certainly teaches then you can Thrive okay here’s the more specific example. Dilip Kumar who was the head of pricing and promotions inside Amazon went on to become bezos’s technical advisor Shadow him for a couple of years. And by the time that student was up his old you know domain was on its way to getting automated through it was then project Yoda and eventually hands off the wheel. And so we had an option here could go there and sort of see his job become obsolete or he could try to invent something new and he ended up leading or being one of the members that led the team that built Amazon go which is Amazon’s check out free. Convenience store and soon-to-be Supermarket I believe that sort of came out of this idea can we eliminate the most annoying part of shopping in real life and that’s checkout, and and they didn’t I mean you guys I’m sure I’ve been inside of the ghost tours they’re freaking magic and they you feel like you’re stealing every time you go in. [36:01] And turns out that, you know that that turned out to be one of the next big moves that Amazon’s making every time you hear Bezos talk about it you hear how it’s the future for the company so I don’t necessarily buy the idea that if you, do a retail core retail function you can’t be an inventor I think Kumar is a good counter example for that. Jason: [36:23] For sure. Alex: [36:24] And yeah I just think that this is sort of the way that we’re heading and the. Jason: [36:28] No no and that’s fair enough and I’m sure Amazon would would rightly point out and I think Google and others are even more on this way of like a lot of that bar razor is less about job-specific skills and more about, cognitive ability and problem-solving and things like that that would apply to multiple job so I’m sure a portion of that is totally fair, um I do there’s one other theme in here that’s kind of fascinating to me like if you think about hands off the wheel and you you kind of described it really well I can’t remember is in your book we haven’t mentioned it yet but you also wrote a great hbr article specifically about the hands off the wheel component of Amazon, the first phase of hands out the wheel was tools for the merchant right so you know originally the merchant has black magic and only he can figure out because back then it was always a he, how many how many widgets to buy from a vendor and put on the website right and so then, we get this AI algorithm that suggest how many he or she should order. But it still was ultimately up to the the human and human could override that system and I think you wrote that they discovered that the human overrode the system way too often and So eventually. They got to the point where it was a hundred percent the the system and they you know ultimately were able to solve for all four most are all edge cases. Um the in analogy to that also in the Commerce industry do you follow Stitch fix at all. Alex: [37:56] I dabble. Jason: [37:57] Yeah so Stitch fix is you know in a parallel retailer but kind of their part of their magic is personal stylist for every customer that gets to know that customer and make custom recommendations and early on they hired the the, chief. Intelligence officer from Netflix that had written the Netflix product recommendation engine and invested heavily in a i for Stitch fix and so they have, you know this this Tier 1 machine learning product recommendation engine that takes all these attributes from the customer and recommends, fixes or products for them but but Katrina the CEO at Stitch fix hit has been adamant. The customer wants to deal with a human so we’re never going to just send the recommendations from the algorithm we’re always going to have a stylus that. Presents those recommendations and has a chance to sort of override or curate those recommendations so and in a way that’s what like that interim version of hands off the wheel felt like to a lot of my my clients right like, they gave my clients a human being to make my client feel better but in reality the work was being done by the algorithm and I’m curious if you think. Over time are we all going to learn that the algorithms are better like well will there come a point at Stitch fix when they’d be better off to say, we have world-class math picking your products instead of you know a moderately paid employee. Alex: [39:26] Right for a high dollar product like that you probably want a blend of both so you want the AI to be so good that the stylist doesn’t have to go back a thousand times to get you something that you like, because each one of those moments is an opportunity to that you know to lose money for Stitch fix and to annoy the customer, and so you get the AI really good and then yeah you work in conjunction as a person and the human being becomes this concierge you know on top of the AI That’s using that to end up, making the recommendation of the client and I do think that model you know this idea that. That you know everything’s going to be automated and all the humans will go away, no I’m not I’m not ascribe to that I think we’re still going to have very important job for humans but it might be something that’s more interesting right, that is something like you know be the stylist or be the concierge from Stitch fix that speaking to you know speaking of the customer, that sounds like a much more interesting job than like being the person that runs into the back and, you know keeps getting different things for people to try on and be the person that puts the order in to bring it from the warehouse. Jason: [40:38] Or that re folds the clothes to put them back on the Shelf after they leave. Alex: [40:42] Because if the AI can minimize the amount of times the stylist in the person needs to go back to try to find the right fit then is doing its job perfectly. Scot: [40:49] Freckles that’s a we want to leave some for people to buy the book so that’s good good overview of the Amazon you also cover Microsoft Facebook and apple what interesting kind of cultural conclusions we’ve got kind of anchor of Amazon now did you draw from those conversations. Alex: [41:07] Yeah well I think the main thing that I learned was the leaders of these companies operate a little differently. Then I imagined you know the world-class CEOs operating I mean maybe I came to Silicon Valley with this idea that. Everyone was going to be Steve Jobs and sort of you know not give a shit about what anyone thinks and sort of stand up on the table in the middle of the campus with the megaphone, Park a bunch of orders and demand people, follow their Vision but I think that that would be a misconception because you having spent time with people like Zuckerberg and been in and around the offices of Google and Microsoft and. You know touched on Amazon of course and apple to some extent like what I found is that these leaders are really terrific at eliciting feedback and it starts with the very first story in the book where I go in. Sit down with Mark Zuckerberg and typically your, you know your average conversation with the CEO as a reporter is you know you sit down they lecture you for about 25 minutes and the pr person in the room monitors your facial expressions and, you know if you look concerned they say thanks for coming we’ll see you again sometime soon and you know if you look at some what engaged they might give you a time for a question or two. But when I came in to meet Zuckerberg he immediately starts asking for feedback. [42:25] And I was like what’s going on like this is is this a weird way of trying to sell a song you know what he’s trying to say. And then I ended up just going and speaking of Facebook employees as we tend to do in this line of work and found that feedback is just built into everything that Facebook does so. There are posters on the walls in the office you know back when that was a thing that’s a feedback is a gift and. Once a two-day trainings for employees to learn how to give and receive feedback major meetings ends with a request for it and I think this is important because it means that. [43:00] When you’re so comfortable sharing ideas with your colleagues are sharing Thoughts with your colleagues. You’re not going to hold ideas for good products back and I certainly found inside Facebook and elsewhere in the tech Giants that when that sort of behavior is enabled people aren’t shy they actually believe what you say, and they feel hurt and they’re going to come out and tell you things that you know might save your business one day and it certainly has happened for Facebook a couple of times. Scot: [43:27] What you think about the Facebook go fast and break stuff and they have the of the hacker mindset and all this kind of hacker kind of stuff on all around. Alex: [43:36] Yeah so ice actually spoke to Zuckerberg about this. He maintains that move fast and break things is not like actually like break Society it was more just like you know push code as fast as you can to the site. And I mean speed building the speed has always been important for Facebook and why is that important for Facebook I think it’s because social media is the most fickle of all, product categories product categories in the world. You know we’ve gone through so many different social media apps with Facebook itself is losing interest with teen users pretty fast and one social media networks are social media platforms start to shrink it’s very difficult for them, to build back in fact I think Twitter is really the only one that sort of lost users and then, brought them back and you know I mean who knows what the data says that Donald Trump isn’t necessarily responsible for it but, you know I don’t think it’s one account I think its new environment around his presidency that certainly helped you know Twitter revive you know so that said like. [44:41] Facebook needs to invent fast because if it doesn’t do that it’s going to it will really be dead and it has reinvented itself numerous times throughout its history from an online directory to sort of this broadcast platform where you write something on your wall, and everybody you’ve ever met in your life and their friend see it and now it’s transforming again to a series of smaller more intimate networks with groups and the messaging. So you know when it comes to like Zuckerberg move fast and break things like you know you might call it the unfortunate you know phrase that sort of you know stuck with Facebook as it has gone and broken stuff in a big way. But it really captures both sides right they build fast they release products before they’re ready. And oftentimes when they do that it has negative repercussions on society no do I think that they’re working to fix that I think there’s at least an effort inside Facebook, I’d like to see it expanded but I don’t think they’re as unconcerned with what happens to society afterwards as they had been in the past. Jason: [45:42] Very cool at that point in your book I so you cover it Amazon you covered those other companies and then the book takes what I’m going to jokingly call a dark turn. And that’s because you write a chapter about Black Mirror which is a very dark dark show but the premise about why you bring that up is, you introduced the hypothesis that science fiction writers are probably better at predicting the future then corporate employees and I was wondering if you could tell the audience a little bit more about about that hypothesis. Alex: [46:20] Yeah so definitely so first of all like I’m a big fan of the show Black Mirror obviously have watched it predict lots of different things that happened, and will probably continue to be prescient in terms of what’s going to happen in our world but look I’m writing this book always day one from like a standpoint of these are work systems that. I’ve helped the tech Giants in a big way and we ought to know about them and Co-op them so we’re able to be competitive in their world, and I’m bullish on the systems but the other side of that is that like everyone who goes out and approaches Tech in a way saying this is positive and only positive has been wrong because there’s always downsides to it. And so what I decided to do was to bring in a science fiction writer and while go Nim who helped start the Arab Spring, and who now has some reservations about the impact of social media on the world even though he used Facebook largely to help stoke. The revolution in Egypt and said let’s look at some of the uses of technology in the book and see where they could go wrong and I think just to push it home. [47:32] Inside Amazon they write these narratives the six pagers that we’ve talked about and that your listeners I’m sure extremely familiar with. And one Amazon employed ex-employee told me it was like, it was like writing science fiction when you wrote these things because it was a story of something that’s going to happen that doesn’t exist yet and that’s largely what you do in the tech world is you dream something up that doesn’t exist then you go and build it. But the thing about the tech industry stories as they always end happily and you have to do that for a reason right you’re in a company you’re tasked with building stuff. You want to think about the successful case in build towards that but often that makes you blind to the negative. [48:09] And the amazing thing is once you put a couple science fiction writers actual science fiction writers on the problem people who are used to thinking dark and dark ways, you’re going to be a thousand times more likely to catch the liabilities in your products, then you would otherwise and so I found it to be an incredibly useful and interesting exercise at the end of the book when I was done with my reporting to bring these folks in. And for me you know I’m just like you know an author of a book doing one dinner with these folks so imagine how, amazing their perspective would be inside a tech company that’s actually actively building the future every day. And I do believe that we need many more science fiction writers working inside Tech doing exactly this thing like looking for liabilities looking where things could go desperately wrong in the future and then helping these companies look out for the problems before they happen. Scot: [49:06] Well that’s a good jumping-off point so if we if you kind of take what you’ve learned and projected out maybe it’s three five ten years do you know do you think it’s like 95% probability these dark mirror scenarios come true where you know we’re being surveilled all the time and Alexa devices are recording our every word or do you think that, there’s at least some probability that that we have a more utopian future. Alex: [49:31] Yeah well we are being surveilled all the time and Alexa devices are recording or every word they’re just I guess deleting them after 10 seconds. But you know I think that at the end of the day in a capitalist Society. The tech Giant’s right now are good example that they will push the limit to about the edge but they won’t go over it because they know there’s just going to be a backlash among the customers like. Ultimately you know if your Amazon’s number one leadership Principle as you guys know customer Obsession right. And you know you’re obviously obsessed with giving customers a good experience low prices wide selection and fast delivery, and so like the data that Amazon collects is used in service of that I don’t think Jeff Bezos like sits on his iPad at the end of the night or is like you know there’s one remaining Kindle Fire and. Decides to you know figure out which Amazon user he’s going to spy on. Just for kicks in fact now he knows what it’s like to be spied on after his photos were stolen off of his phone, or off of his his girlfriend’s phone in some way anyway look I think that like we that detect Giants need some form of data collection in order to exist every every company today, really need some form of data collection to exist I mean I run a newsletter business and I have to collect emails you know that’s Pi I so. [50:58] So it’s important part of the way our economy works today on the other hand like I don’t I don’t expect. You know this widespread nefarious use of data to become. And you know we’re definitely going to need a strong press to watch some of the ways things go wrong like I do have some concerns about. The way that Amazon handles the data that comes off of their ring doorbells for instance but ultimately like. These companies are here to serve consumers and, you know if consumers know that you know there are echoes show is I don’t know if that’s still what it’s called her, but whatever the Echo Show is spying on them in their bedroom and like Amazon employees are you know watching me sleep, they’re going to go to Google so ultimately I think that’s the thing that keeps this baby more than anything else. Jason: [51:53] You know coincidentally Amazon had a big product announcement today they launched a bunch of their newest Echo products and they an ring products and they had a lot of new software features and a lot of the software features. We’re mostly around cleaning up a lot of that privacy stuff so for example. You The Echoes all have better more powerful chips in them now so they can do more of the speech recognition. In the devices so they send less actual data over the network than they used to, but they built in these cool new features like you can say Alexa forget everything I’ve ever said or forget everything I said in the last hour or things like that that. You know they didn’t used to have and they done full in and encryption on drink so I will give them credit for, first starting to address some of those and it occurred to me as you were you were talking you know there are a couple of these big tech companies that have hired science fiction writer so I think like. Ray Kurzweil famously works for Google and I met this guy Peter Schwartz who’s, I wasn’t familiar with them but he’s a cool futurist that like. [53:06] Invented a lot of the experiences in Minority Report like including the you know though II scanning in the Gap store and all that stuff and he’s a full-time futurist for Salesforce. So I think it is your hypothesis may already be true I think they may already be starting to sort of a dad that thought process to there. Corporate knowledge base. Alex: [53:28] Yeah that’s great I applaud anyone that does that and it’s a two-parter right the first thing that is you hire the science fiction writers are the dark thinkers and the second part is you listen to them. And so we just got to make sure that these companies if they telling us they’re hiring science fiction writers at their coming through on the second half of that equation as well. Jason: [53:47] Hundred percent and I’m sure we’ll see some where they only do the first half. Alex: [53:52] It’s a nice press release. Jason: [53:53] Yeah and that’s a great point and that’s actually going to be a great place to leave it because it’s happen again we’ve used up all our allotted time, but Alex we certainly enjoyed chatting with you if listeners have any further questions or comments about the show we sure would appreciate a comment on our Facebook page or hit us up on Twitter and as always if you enjoyed this episode we’d love it if you jump on iTunes and finally give us that five star review. Scot: [54:20] Alex thanks for joining us if folks want to follow you online what we’re what are your best places that you publish content. Alex: [54:28] Yeah thanks so much this was a great conversation really appreciate the opportunity to be on I would say I would recommend folks go to the big technology podcast it’s big technology podcast you can get it in any podcast app and I have a different interview up there every week everyone from you know VC’s to timbre the VC who that sorry the Amazon VP left over its treatment of whistleblowers journalists, and Founders so the whole crew comes on it’s been super fun so far as we talked about in the beginning so I’d love to see you there and if you’re interested in the book it’s always day one and you can find it at any Bookseller you could just type it into Google or Bing if that’s what you’re interested or DuckDuckGo if you don’t like being tracked as we talked about in this last segment and you’ll be able to find it and, yeah I’d love to hear your thoughts. Jason: [55:22] That’s terrific will definitely put a link to the podcast in the show notes and until next time happy commercing.
The TikTok saga. It’s gonna end. Or it’s gonna happen. Or it’s gonna… something in the next few days. Will it be sold? Will it not be? Will it be banned in the US. There are so many angles here. So many interesting ways to tease out something that is unprecedented in the world of Tech. Alex Kantrowitz pinged me to talk about it and he’s a good dude to do so because he wrote a book about the big tech platforms, and, as we get into… this is so rare. A big up and coming platform that is just, for weird a-historical reasons, being offered up on a platter for the other powers that be to… maybe take over? I quoted Alex when he was at Buzzfeed for years. But as we discuss at the end, Alex has gone solo! Check out his newsletter Big Technology. Check out his podcast, Big Technology.

In this episode of 1050 Bascom, we had the opportunity to talk with UW-Madison’s Stephen Kantrowitz, Professor of History and affiliate faculty in the department of Afro-American Studies and in the American Indian Studies Program to situate the Black Lives Matters protests in a historical and contemporary context. We asked Prof. Kantowitz’s about his comprehensive published response to a UW undergrad’s questions to him regarding whether he believes violent protest is ever justified. Prof. Kantowitz offered his insights into the role of social media in both media coverage of protests and politics more generally, sharing his take on emergence of a “self-surveillance” state. Prof. Kantowitz shared his thoughtful analysis of why there are kernels of hope but also cause for concern in contemporary discourse over Black Lives Matter and debates and struggles over confederate monuments in terms of civil discourse in democratic debate in American politics today.
After scrutinizing Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon daily for more than five years, Alex Kantrowitz decoded the single secret they all share: No matter how large these and other successful tech giants grow or how established they become, they still run their companies with the mentality and risk-taking attitudes of a startup. Alex, who earlier this month launched his own independent newsletter and podcast called "Big Technology," recently published “Always Day One: How the Tech Titans Plan to Stay on Top Forever.” To successfully compete with the Amazons and Googles of the world, Alex tells host and award-winning reporter Dean Rotbart, today’s companies of all sizes not only have to adopt an “Always Day One” approach, they have to execute it better than the tech titans themselves. The alternative, he warns, is “Day Two,” or stasis, where most once-profitable companies operate, leading inevitably to irrelevance, followed by a gradual decline culminating in total failure.

How do tech titans at the top stay on top? According to technology reporter Alex Kantrowitz, it's by acting like they're at the bottom. At Amazon, "Day One" is code for inventing like a startup, with little regard for legacy. Day Two is, in Jeff Bezos's words, "stasis, followed by irrelevance . . . then death." Kantrowitz says most companies today are set up for Day Two. They build advantages and defend them fiercely, rather than invent the future. But as he chronicles in his new book, Always Day One: How the Tech Titans Plan to Stay on Top Forever, the tech titans of today remain successful because they are always operating in Day One. Companies like Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft have endured because they prioritize reinvention over tradition and collaboration over ownership. While these values may seem radical to some, they have proven to be immeasurably successful for major tech giants. But what about those actually at the bottom looking to make a name for themselves? Kantrowitz believes that everyone has to start somewhere, and that with the right strategy, hopeful startups can take on the major players and compete at their level. Join us for a conversation with Alex Kantrowitz as he outlines the blueprint for sustainable success in a business world where no advantage is safe.

One of the greatest barriers to earning a college degree is the cost. Approximately 70% of college graduates have student loans averaging $37,172 (U.S. News and World Report, Kantrowitz 2017). The barrier of cost is compounded in low income communities, which typically have lower access to capital. JP Paulus, President of Do-Gooder Consulting, and I will discuss strategies to address financial barriers to college. JP has 16 years of experience serving and resourcing families and youth workers. He served through the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, Uptown Baptist Church and Oakdale Covenant Church. JP has presented the Illinois College Access Network, Tutor/Mentor Conference and Christian Community Development Association conferences. Call in live at (347) 884-8121.

Mark Kantrowitz, Vice President of Strategy and Publisher at Cappex, discusses student debt, and provides practical tips for students looking to apply to more scholarship opportunities. “Financial aid is like speaking another language,” he said. “We boil it down to what you really need to know.” He recommends students to understand the different between the sticker price, net cost and net price. The sticker price is the total cost of attendance including room and board, textbooks and transportation. This number can be intimidating especially when some universities charge in excess of $60,000 annually in tuition and fees. In contrast, the net cost subtracts the financial aid costs, but Kantrowitz explains that this number doesn’t always provide the most accurate picture because net cost generally includes student loans. “Loans don’t cut college cost, they spread out over time, and they increase costs because they have interest,” Kantrowitz said. “I prefer net price.” He explains this number is the total gift aid - grants, scholarships or other types of aid that do not require repayment - subtracted from the total cost of attendance. This number could be considered a discount. That net price is what needs to be paid by accessing savings, contribution of current income and contribution of future income. “If the net price exceeds the available resources, you are going to struggle to pay for that college,” he said. The total outstanding student loan debt passed $1 trillion in 2012, and continues to grow. In fact, it is growing at a very steady rate, and Kantrowitz said estimates show that debt will reach $2 trillion in 2022. Kantrowitz defines reasonable student loan debt as not exceeding the expected total of your first year annual salary. Following that rule of thumb means students should be able to pay back loans within ten years after graduation. Excessive debt could exasperate the problem for the next generation because parents have limited ability to save. For parents, they should not exceed their annual income across all children, and they total should be adjusted based on how close they are to retirement. Generally, students should try to limit their debt to federal student loans, which will limit the borrowing to $27,000. He lists several tools to determine future earning power. PayScale.com – offers information on starting salaries and a Return on Investment report to show lifetime earning capability. BLS.gov – They break down income into percentiles. Salary.com – Reports salaries for different occupations. CEW.georgtown.edu – Links the academic major to income after graduation. Ultimately, students can look for scholarships to limit debt for free at cappex.com. Kantrowitz explains that the tool helps students efficiently find scholarships. The site also regularly publishes content to help students strategically apply. The Strategic Scholar Tip: Kantrowitz tells Strategic Scholars to write your scholarship by first recording what you will say. This will make your essay more persuasive and compelling. After transcribing and editing, he recommends reading your essay out loud and making an “x” after stumbling over any word or sentence. This will help spot common errors and problems with grammar.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 10th and final study session on Stephen Kantrowitz's, Ben Tillman And The Reconstruction of White Supremacy. Benjamin "Pitchfork" Tillman is one of South Carolina's most beloved sons. He's a former governor, US senator, co-founder of Clemson University and Winthrop University, and a dedicated White Supremacist. He crowed about his collusion in the murder and torture of black citizens and influenced White Supremacist laws across the country. The June 17th Terrorist attack on Mother Emanuel A.M.E. sparked interest in South Carolina Racism. Mr. Kantrowitz knows that we're investigating his biography and emailed Gus his most recent essay on Mr. Tillman. His summation of Tillman's career as a South Carolina politician is that, "Tillman bent over backwards to make sure his policies benefited as few African Americans as possible." This helps explain why a few Confederate flags may be gone, but Tillman monuments still litter South Carolina. Last week's installment provided one of the most profound Tillman quotes: "If you scratch the white man too deep, you will find the same savage whose ancestry used to roam wild..." The US senator lectured nationally and was seriously considered as a presidential candidate while broadcasting the gospel of White Supremacy. He relentlessly campaigned against black education and suffrage. This is the South Carolina heritage that gave birth to Dylann Roof.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 9th study session on Stephen Kantrowitz's, Ben Tillman And The Reconstruction of White Supremacy. Benjamin "Pitchfork" Tillman is one of South Carolina's most cherished sons. He's a former governor, US senator, co-founder of Clemson University and Winthrop University, and a dedicated White Supremacist. He reminisced about his collusion in the murder and torture of black citizens and inspired White Supremacist legal codes across the country. The June 17th Terrorist assault on Mother Emanuel A.M.E. sparked interest in South Carolina Racism. Mr. Kantrowitz is aware that we're researching his biography and emailed Gus his most recent essay on Mr. Tillman. His assessment of Tillman's career as a South Carolina politician is that, "Tillman bent over backwards to make sure his policies benefited as few African Americans as possible." This helps explain why a few Confederate flags may be gone, but Tillman monuments still litter South Carolina. Last week's installment stressed Tillman relentless efforts to sabotage and impede black education and voting. Large numbers of Racist South Carolinians opposed and lamented the threat of educated, voting black citizens. Tillman also expressed his contempt for black females and their immoral, promiscuous character. This is the South Carolina heritage that gave birth to Dylann Roof.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 8th study session on Stephen Kantrowitz's, Ben Tillman And The Reconstruction of White Supremacy. Benjamin "Pitchfork" Tillman is one of South Carolina's most beloved sons. He's a former governor, US senator, co-founder of Clemson University and Winthrop University, and a shameless antiblack terrorist. He reminisced about his collusion in the murder and torture of black citizens and inspired White Supremacist legal codes across the country. The June 17th Terrorist attack on Mother Emanuel A.M.E. placed enormous scrutiny on Racism in South Carolina. Mr. Kantrowitz is aware that we're reading his biography and emailed Gus his most recent essay on Mr. Tillman. His assessment of Tillman's career as a South Carolina lawmaker is that, "Tillman bent over backwards to make sure his policies benefited as few African Americans as possible." This goes along way to explain why a few Confederate flags may be gone, but Tillman monuments still litter South Carolina. Last week's installment again emphasized the uncontrolled fraud and corruption that was characteristic of Tillman's reign and South Carolina politics. Much of this criminal activity was motivated to conquer black voters and maintain political power for individuals like Tillman. This is the South Carolina heritage that gave birth to Dylann Roof.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 7th installment on Stephen Kantrowitz's, Ben Tillman & The Reconstruction of White Supremacy. Benjamin "Pitchfork" Tillman is one of South Carolina's most notorious and worshipped sons. He's a former governor, US senator, co-founder of Clemson University and Winthrop University, and an unambiguous antiblack terrorist. He reminisced about his participation in the murder and torture of black citizens and inspired White Supremacist legal codes across the country. The June 17th Terrorist assault on Mother Emanuel A.M.E. trained intense attention on South Carolina Racism. Mr. Kantrowitz is aware that we're investigating his biography and emailed Gus his most recent report on Mr. Tillman. His assessment of Tillman's legacy as a South Carolina lawmaker is that, "Tillman bent over backwards to make sure his policies benefited as few African Americans as possible." This goes along way to explain why a few Confederate flags may be gone, but Tillman memorials still litter South Carolina. Last week's reading detailed the hypocrisy of Gov. Tillman, who forged his career as a catalyst for terrorist violence against black citizens, but gave speeches rebuking mobocracy and White lynching patrols. The book also details that Whites were shrewd enough to grasp that too much violence might encourage the state's black laborers to flee. This is the South Carolina heritage that gave birth to Dylann Roof.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 6th study session on Stephen Kantrowitz's, Ben Tillman And The Reconstruction of White Supremacy. Benjamin "Pitchfork" Tillman is one of South Carolina's most esteemed sons. He's a former governor, US senator, co-founder of Clemson University and Winthrop University, and an unabashed antiblack terrorist. He reminisced about his involvement in the murder and torture of black citizens and inspired White Supremacist legal codes across the country. The June 17th Terrorist assault on Mother Emanuel A.M.E. placed an gigantic spotlight South Carolina. Mr. Kantrowitz knows that we're studying his work and emailed Gus his most recent report on Mr. Tillman. His deconstruction of Tillman's career as a South Carolina lawmaker is that, "Tillman bent over backwards to make sure his policies benefited as few African Americans as possible." This likely clarifies why a few Confederate flags may be gone, but Tillman's shrines still litter South Carolina. Last week's session revealed one of the greatest lines in the history of racial studies: "The threat of negro domination hangs over us like the sword of Damocles." Kantrowitz documented Tillman's rise to governor at the close of the 19th century. Tillman and his White brothers and sisters squabbled about many things, maintenance of White Power was not one of them. Violence and intimidation of Black citizens remained a constant activity; and Gov. Tillman was proud of his contribution to the carnage. This is the South Carolina heritage that gave produced to Dylann Roof.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 2nd study session on Stephen Kantrowitz's, Ben Tillman And The Reconstruction of White Supremacy. Benjamin "Pitchfork" Tillman is a South Carolina hero. He's a former governor, US senator, founder of Clemson University and a notorious antiblack terrorist. He bragged about participating in the murder and torture of black citizens and influenced White Supremacist laws across North America. The June 17th Terrorist assault on Mother Emanuel A.M.E. has placed international attention on South Carolina. Mitt Romney and current S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley publicly approve of removing the Confederate flag - or at least discussing it's relocation. Tillman has shrines throughout the state - including the state capitol, Clemson University and Winthrop University. Last week's session described terroristic context of black enslavement that created Ben Tillman. Kantrowitz emphasizes that plantations required constant, flagrant brutality. White men and women like Ben Tillman expected eternal domination over black people and dedicated their total life force to White Power. This text will provide an accurate historical context for the production, deeds and predictability of Dylann Storm Roofs.
