In Crux (Riverhead Books, 2025), Dan and Tamma are two teenagers in their last year of high school in the southern Mojave Desert. One is a gifted golden child, the other a mouthy burnout. Climbing boulders in trash-strewn parking lots during cold desert nights, they seal their unique bond and dream of a life of adventure.As the year progresses and adult reality looms, they are rocked by change and pulled apart by irreconcilable obligations. Differences of class, talent, and prospects take on new importance; options dwindle, and their decisions grow ever more consequential and perilous. It feels inevitable, finally, that something must give.With a magnificent gift for nature writing and a joyful appreciation for the redemptive power of friendship, Gabriel Tallent gives readers a rollicking, adrenaline-filled, and soul-searching novel about risking everything to change your life.

After graduation, he led trail crews, scrubbed toilets at Target, worked in the dining room at the Alta Lodge, and bussed tables at the Copper Onion. He now lives in Salt Lake City with his wife, Hattie, and their three rambunctious boys. Recommended Books: R.O. Kwon, Exhibit Rufi Thorpe, Margo's Got Money Troubles Chris Holmes is Chair of Literatures in English and Professor at Ithaca College. He writes criticism on contemporary global literatures.

Hey, packaging fam! Adam Peek!I just had a total “fanboy” moment listening back to this conversation between my good friend Tom Seymour and the absolute powerhouse that is Jessica Kwong. If you aren't following Jessica yet, fix that immediately. She's a Cornell food scientist turned founder who is literally redefining what's possible in the CPG space with Jack & Friends Jerky and Moka Energy.Tom and Jessica go deep on the “behind the scenes” of the founder journey—the stuff that isn't always pretty but is totally necessary.Check out the show notes below for the highlights!Episode Highlights: Beyond the Dieline with Jessica KwongThe Origin Story: From Food Science to FounderJessica didn't just wake up and decide to make jerky. Her journey started at Cornell University, where she led product development teams and entered national competitions. The inspiration for Jack & Friends actually came from a personal place: her father developed severe food allergies later in life.“I saw firsthand how difficult it was for him to essentially upend his whole lifestyle... I wanted to make his life easier and find a solution for him.” — Jessica KwongThe “Unfiltered” Founder RealityOne of the most refreshing parts of this episode is the honesty about the early days. Jessica talks about:* The 3 AM Kitchen Shifts: Working the most affordable (and most exhausting) shifts in commercial kitchens to bootstrap the brand.* DIY Design Woes: Designing her first packaging in Photoshop, only to realize (at 2 AM!) that professional packaging requires vector artwork in Illustrator.* The NYT “High-Low”: Getting featured in the New York Times was a massive win, but it also meant hand-packing orders for four straight weeks to meet the demand.Packaging & Partnerships: The Secret SauceAs a packaging guy, I loved hearing Jessica talk about her refresh with Wagon Design Studio. She emphasizes the importance of custom-printed packaging from the start.* Pro Tip: Don't be the “most expensive label applicator” by doing it all yourself. Custom printing looks more professional and saves you time to work on your business, not in it.* The Power of “My Bad”: In manufacturing, things will go wrong. Jessica and Tom discuss how the best partners are the ones who own their mistakes and work to fix them immediately, rather than “ducking and covering”.What's Next? Moka EnergyJessica isn't stopping at jerky. She's also a co-founder of Moka Energy, applying everything she learned from Jack & Friends to a new category. It's a testament to the power of a “village” of proven operators coming together to build something great.Connect with Jessica & Tom* Jack & Friends: jackandfriendsjerky.com* Moka Energy: mokaenergy.com* Tom Seymour: Follow him on LinkedIn for more Beyond the Dieline episodes!* Jessica Kwon: Connect on LinkedInWant more content like this?

En este episodio abordo la farmacología en neurorrehabilitación del adulto desde una perspectiva clínica y realista, pensada especialmente para profesionales no médicos que conviven a diario con informes, pautas y nombres de fármacos sin disponer siempre de un marco claro para interpretarlos. Recorremos los principales medicamentos utilizados en patologías neurológicas frecuentes —ictus, lesión medular, esclerosis múltiple, enfermedad de Parkinson, ELA, distonías y traumatismo craneoencefálico— diferenciando entre tratamientos agudos, terapias modificadoras de la enfermedad y manejo farmacológico de secuelas. A lo largo del episodio explico de forma progresiva los mecanismos de acción, la base neurofisiológica y el estado actual de la evidencia, poniendo especial énfasis en qué fármacos realmente cambian el pronóstico y cuáles cumplen un papel fundamentalmente sintomático. El objetivo no es prescribir, sino entender mejor cómo la farmacología condiciona la recuperación, la participación en terapia y la toma de decisiones en neurorrehabilitación, con una mirada crítica y basada en la evidencia disponible.

Today's poem is Going Home by Joan Kwon Glass. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “When my children tell me about their dreams, it's not uncommon for them to say, “We were at home, but it wasn't our house,” or “I was with my friends, but they weren't my real-life friends.” Sometimes I play a cameo role as myself, but sometimes the role of their mother is played by someone else. Dreams are strange like that. Our sleeping brains sometimes offer us alternate versions of familiar people and places.”Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Sometimes I wish I could just have the intro paragraph to an episode be GAAHHHHHHH THIS ONE WAS SO FUN! So this is my version of that: telling you that I wish it could be that, and then also telling you that we go deep on so many components of the global spread (and embrace) of Korean pop culture. We go into the calculated political elements, the uncanny elision of North Korean stories, and why so many of the Korean narratives resonating with American audiences are ones crafted by Korean-Americans. This is a really effusive and loving episode that also manages to have some very real talk about why kids dressing up as characters from K-Pop Demon Hunters is not yellow face. IT'S SO GOOD, and I know we're gonna have a great discussion about it. ALSO GUESS WHAT, WE HAVE VERY GOOD EPISODES TRANSCRIPTS NOW!

"The wait is over. The disciples go from waiting for the promise of God to now filled with the power of God."

 In this plenary message from TGC25, Ryan Kwon exposits Ephesians 4:25–5:14. He explains that God's indicatives always lead to God's imperatives, and the grace of God gives believers a new desire to obey God's commands. In Christ, this leads to living out a new individual identity, a new collective identity, and a new familial identity. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most business owners hit a ceiling not because they lack hustle but because their systems leak money. They underprice, overpay, and unknowingly trap themselves in the “hourly labor” mindset that kills profitability. Have you ever felt like your team works hard, but your margins never seem to improve? Do you wonder why, after another big month of sales, there's still not enough left over for growth—or you?  In this episode, host Mike Abramowitz sits down with James Kwon, serial entrepreneur, early employee at CVS.com, and founder of Figmints Digital Creative Marketing. After selling one of his companies for nearly nine figures, James could have coasted. Instead, he built a revolutionary model called SLICES—a simple, scalable way to transform your compensation structure into a proper pay-for-performance system. Whether you lead a trades business, a digital agency, or a growing team, James breaks down the math, the mindset, and the mechanics of paying your people like owners. Timestamps: [00:00] The Problem with Hourly Pay [03:50] Why “SLICES” Was Born [06:40] Pricing for Pay-for-Performance [09:20] The $10K Job Breakdown [14:00] Paying Contractors vs. Salaried Teams [21:45] Overcoming Team Resistance [26:30] Real Results from the Field [39:00] From Chaos to Clarity in Commercial Cleaning [44:30] Rethinking Ownership: ESOPs and the Future of SLICES [52:40] Building Brand Leverage through Figmints  Key Quotes: “You should treat every employee like a salesperson.” “Your slices already exist—you're just not tracking them.” “Profit isn't what's left over; it's a pre-decided slice of the pie.” “A players light up when they see opportunity. C players panic.” “Slices make utilization visible. There's nowhere to hide.” “The goal isn't to be rich—it's to build royalty.” “Loving people is the ultimate game in business.”    Key Takeaways: Define Every Slice: Categorize every dollar earned—marketing, labor, operations, profit—and track against those ratios. Pay for Output, Not Time: Transition compensation to performance-based models that reward production, not presence. Reconcile Quarterly: Measure slices earned versus salary paid; adjust based on utilization and profitability. Build a Culture of Ownership: Teach your team how their work connects to the bottom line. Transparency breeds accountability.  Mentioned Links: Figmints Digital Creative Marketing: https://www.figmints.com SLICES Resources for Better Than Rich Listeners: https://www.figmints.com/betterthanrich The Better Than Rich Show YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thebetterthanrich

This week the golf world got a new villain. At the Internet Invitational hosted by Barstool Sports and Bob Does Sports, some of the best & worst of the YouTube golfers came together for an event. Luke Kwon, one of YouTube golf's best players slept in and missed his tee time, which set off a frenzy as players on his own team could not believe it and Kwon was not apologetic and got the villain name attached to him. On a slow week in golf, this was perfect timing for the event and the drama, as it has already pulled in over 5 million views. All that and some other random happenings in a slow week in golf.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Yo Kwon, CEO at Voltaire.Claims. Together, we pull back the curtain on how enterprise operations (and in particular finance and insurance operations) are being reinvented – not tomorrow, but right now. KEY TAKEAWAYS           ·       I was working with my co-founder on Ai technology trying to work out what would be applicable for wider businesses. While we were testing ideas someone was using one of our products to write claims letters. ·       Adjustors don't enjoy writing claims letter, especially denials, they lean heavily on templates and cheat sheets to figure out the clauses to cite, so small mistakes and big ones can slip though. Voltaire generates each letter from scratch, it doesn't take shortcuts which removes the room for error.  ·       Litigation alone adds an average of $10,718 per claim in loss adjustment expense, we projects Voltaire can reduce litigated claims by 10% or more through more defensible correspondence. Even a conservative 5% improvement in leakage through clearer letters translates to $320,00 in recovered value.  ·       We include critical guardrails. If an adjustor requests a denial letter but there's no valid policy exclusion that exists to support the denial, the system returns ‘no relevant policy language was found'. This prevents a wrongful denial or compliance violation before it happens. BEST MOMENTS  ‘Before I started this company I did not think this would be a problem in 2025, and this is a problem because of the complexities of claims.'  ‘Whenever productivity is measured, people will choose speed over compliance, I'd go far as to say most adjustors never actually learn the correct way to write a claims letter.' ‘Claims managers and adjustors have told us the AI is teaching them things about policies that they've never known before.' ‘Our approach treats compliance as a product feature, not an afterthought.' ABOUT THE GUESTS Yo Kwon is the Co-Founder and CEO of Voltaire.Claims, where he leads the development of cutting-edge AI solutions that transform insurance correspondence. With deep expertise in artificial intelligence, decentralized systems, and cybersecurity, Yo brings a rigorous technical perspective to one of the industry's most overlooked but high-impact challenges: claims letter automation. Under his leadership, Voltaire has built a lightweight, API-driven platform that integrates seamlessly with core systems like Guidewire to deliver accurate, regulator-compliant claim letters in seconds. LinkedIn ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur. She is the CEO and Managing Partner of Alchemy Crew a venture lab that accelerates the curation, validation, & commercialization of new tech business models.
