Welcome to episode #994 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Vicki Tan has designed experiences for some of the most influential companies in the world (Pinterest, Airbnb, Headspace, Lyft, Google) and her work has always focused on helping people make better choices in complex environments. Her new book, Ask This Book A Question, continues that mission in a radically creative form. This isn't your typical self-help guide. It's an interactive journey through the beautiful mess of human decision-making, shaped by the science of cognitive bias, the power of storytelling and the playfulness of visual design. Vicki explores how our mental shortcuts shape everything - from whether we leave our job to how we fall in love - and how reframing our questions can unlock more clarity than any answer ever could. She talks about the tension between intuition and logic, the real-world costs of not understanding our own biases and the way interface design and behavior design intersect in both delightful and dangerous ways. In this epsiode, she also digs into the deeper story behind the book: How she collaborated with artists to visualize psychological concepts and why she believes our decisions deserve more compassion than critique. This episode is for anyone who's ever overthought a text message… or stood paralyzed in a grocery aisle… or wondered why being human feels so confusing sometimes. Which is to say: it's for all of us.

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring podcast, I introduce you to the concept of the four types of luck: “blind” luck or what I call luck from privilege, luck from motion, luck from awareness, and luck from uniqueness. By understanding these types of luck, you can position yourself to create more opportunities rather than just waiting for luck to happen. I provide actionable tips and encourage you to reflect on which type of luck resonates most with you and how you can invite more of that luck into your life. If you liked what you heard, check out episode 275 on the power of pitching yourself to create your own opportunities.  I use Descript for video editing, generating interview transcripts, and easily sharing teaching videos.

If you know the old saying about Luck being Opportunity meeting Preparation,  And then go looking for opportunities first, you may be focusing on the wrong side,  For it's the preparation that reveals the opportunities, and causes their activation Of all the luck you couldn't see before because you hadn't yet hit your stride. One thing you can do to prepare is build your emotional intelligence--your mood intellect, Like, when things get stressful--How do you react? Do you rage, cry, and complain? Or are you able to take a breath, stay calm, reevaluate, and then redirect Your efforts and intentions, so you can find a way through instead of focusing on the pain. I get frustrated. I get mad. I sometimes want to slap a fool for being so unkind,  but that just adds more Meanness to the world, and I prefer to keep things Nice-- I acknowledge it to myself, and then dismiss it from my mind, --Resist worrying about anything not worth the mental sacrifice. And if you find it hard to tap into your inner feelings, then look at it another way-- Don't think of it as being weird or soft, but instead as a way to build your agility. If you can keep your emotions from scaring or controlling you, then you won't fall prey, And will, instead, be able to regulate your own moods with artful ability. When you get upset at someone and they don't take it seriously--doesn't that make you mad? You wonder why you can't affect their mood, and that they must be very tranquil and wise,  To be self-regulated like that, deciding when they want to be mad, sad or even glad, --The more familiar you are with your own moods, the easier it is to spot their compelling lies. They tell you that the madder you get, the more triumphant the release of righteous indignation,  The sadder you get, the deeper the connection you'll have with yourself and humanity, The gladder you get, the more power you can tap into for higher levels of operation, But sometimes you just feel bothered, down, or manic trying to maintain your sanity. If you keep letting the world determine your extremes, then you might not return,  That's why you need to practice control of your emotions for every situation, Opportunities for Balance and Growth will reveal themselves as you learn, Boosting confidence, and that all begins with Happy Preparation.

If for one moment you found yourself straying from reality and thought Stanford would sit idly by while the world of college football rapidly evolved, then re-think that idea. The Cardinal opted for the, let's kick some rear-end approach to igniting their football program by bringing in former NFL QB Andrew Luck as GM who then brought in his former head coach in Indianapolis, Frank Reich to be "interim". That remains to be seen, the interim part that is. Ben Parker, the Publisher of Cardinal Sports Report, an On3/Rivals site joins Will and Jim on ACC Nation to preview the Cardinal. Up front he gives us his thoughts on if Stanford will win or lose games on their schedule. Then, Parker and Will look at the movement and depth on offense and defense. What's changed? A lot. Luck was very active in the Transfer Portal in part because many players departed but also because there is a new vision of what this team will look like in the coming years. Stanford Reich, a former Maryland QB and Buffalo Bills QB has a great deal of experience finding ways to come back from seemingly insurmountable odds. His experience as OC with Philadelphia during their Super Bowl run and as head coach of both Indianapolis and Carolina will no doubt help develop a pro-style approach to offense at Stanford. If he has the right QB Reich can make good use of what appears to be a deep Wide Receiver room and that same depth can be found among Running Backs as well. Stanford still has plenty of work to do with both lines and some weak spots on defense. If Reich pulls a rabbit out of the hat this season the term, "interim" may well be just that. One game to look forward to will be his meeting in Chapel Hill with Bill Belichick's Tar Heels later in the season.

Some say Trump won a second term one year ago today when his head was almost blown off on live television. Maybe that's true. Maybe it isn't. Luck was most certainly on his side that bright, beautiful day in Butler, Pennsylvania. I'd been looking forward to the rally because he was returning to a place made almost famous in MAGA lore by Tucker Carlson, who explained Trump's appeal better than anyone else ever had.So when Trump was almost assassinated, the first question I had was Why Butler? Even one year later, it seems odd that it happened there, especially since US intelligence already knew Trump's life was threatened, and outside in Butler, there were many rooftops, and many ways to climb on top of them. It wasn't secure, but then again, MAGA rallies seemed like the last place anyone would get away with shooting Trump. In September, another assassin would give it a shot, a burned-out Gen-X surfer dude who wanted to “save democracy.” But one year after Butler, it's as though the tragedy never happened at all. The Left never fully absorbed it and is awash in assassination porn every day, and the Right, well, let's just say there are many forces at work to break up the grassroots movement otherwise known as MAGA.Here is a look back at the good, the bad, and the ugly of this past year. The GoodOne year after Butler, Trump's presidency has been a smashing success when you look at everything he's accomplished, from the historic bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities to the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, to passing the One Big Beautiful Bill, and several key Supreme Court decisions in his favor. The tariffs seem to have worked out, and the economy is humming. One year after Butler, the Secret Service has been overhauled. They will continue to reform the agency, they say, to prevent something that catastrophic from happening again. One year after Butler, Corey Comperatore is remembered as a hero. He protected his family from gunfire. But to those he left behind, they don't feel like there has been enough closure on the case - how could they have left them unprotected? But on Saturday, the community came together to honor Corey with a motorcycle ride called Corey's Cruise:Corey's Cruise, that's the MAGA spirit. Paying tribute to one of their own.One year after Butler, journalist Selena Zito published the definitive account of that day. A Pennsylvania native, Zito captures Butler and cares enough about the place and its people to tell the story of its history and why it mattered that Trump came to Butler at all. He's the only sitting president ever to do so, she says. Zito has seen Trump in a way no other mainstream journalist ever has, and even tops Tucker Carlson, I think, in explaining Trump and his appeal. Maybe because she knows the time and place of which she writes, or maybe it's something else, an ability to see what other people can't. One year after Butler, it has been promises made and promises kept for people like me. I voted for Trump for two reasons. To protest the unprecedented, authoritarian lawfare by Joe Biden and the Democrats and to put an end to the gender madness that was destroying the minds and bodies of children. It is still hard for me to believe this is going on in America with no guardians on the Left to protect kids. When I see videos like this, I am reminded of why I voted for Trump and why I would vote for him a thousand times over:One year after Butler, the Trump administration is going after John Brennan and James Comey for Russiagate:Matt Taibbi has been on the story for years and goes into it at length on America This Week.The BadOne year after Butler, Elon Musk, who said he became a Trump supporter that day, is now a Trump hater, someone so filled with rage and resentment that he started his own political party just to hurt Trump. And said on Twitter that Trump is in the Epstein Files, which put the whole ugly scandal into motion.The truth? Musk was likely burned after Trump shut him out of the inner circle. The richest man in the world might be among the most fragile, and hell hath no fury like an Elon scorned.Tucker Carlson is parting ways with the Trump administration because of Iran and Israel, now proclaiming Israel is the one behind the Epstein cover-up. He's also saying, in his recent speech for Turning Point, that it's no big deal to kick biological men out of women's sports. Who cares? One year after Butler, fair weather MAGA like Andrew Schultz, Theo Von, and Joe Rogan aren't ride or die Trump supporters anymore. They chose him at the time as the better option, but if Trump doesn't give them exactly what they want — not fund Ukraine, wash their hands of Israel, or reduce the government deficit, whatever it is, they're free agents now ripe for the picking.One year after Butler, a war has broken out between the head of the FBI, Dan Bongino, and Attorney General Pam Bondi over the promised release of the Epstein Files. MAGA wants Bondi to be fired or to step down because of it. She made it seem like there was a client list and they would be naming names. But then abruptly announced that no, there isn't one and case closed.So Trump has had to take to Truth Social to defend her and try to steady the ship, but more and more people are reading this like a cover-up. In other words, MAGA is leading a Watergate-like situation to take down its own leader. into its own leader, doing the Democrats' dirty work without even trying:Both the Left and the Never Trumpers are using the Epstein case in hopes of dividing and conquering MAGA. And from the looks of it, they're winning. It reminds me of that song from U2, So Cruel, “I gave you everything you ever wanted, it wasn't what you wanted.”Even though the Democrats had the files all through Biden's presidency, they are counting on people being stupid enough to believe them when they pretend to care:The UglyOne year after Butler, almost no one cares about the shooter, Thomas Crooks. He is a ghost. If Thomas Crooks had succeeded, would he have been made a hero like Luigi Mangione? Is that what he was seeking, that kind of adulation and respect? He was not only a nobody, a loner, but like so many others, spent his formative years on lockdown, online. Who knows who got to him?One year later, the lesson was not learned because the tragedy was never fully absorbed. All they knew was that they were angry the shooter missed. We have to assume that, yes, Crooks would have been remembered well if he hadn't. Instead, he was shot and killed in the blazing sun on a rooftop at just 20 years old. One year after Butler, comments like this are not just accepted but encouraged. Nothing has changed for the Democrats and the Left; their propaganda press and the so-called “resistance” have not done a single thing differently after their defeat. They didn't absorb what happened on their side, the debate, the cognitive decline, the George Clooney op-ed, and Kamala Harris' terrible campaign. If anything, they've become even more emboldened to amplify their hate against Trump, as if they never saw him shot at all, as if they didn't just suffer the greatest political humiliation in modern American history. But they did. We were there. We saw. All it's meant to them, one year after Butler, is that they have to wish harder for Trump's demise. They have to get louder and meaner. One year after Butler and the Left still have no power except for one Democratic Socialist on the rise, who is leading them even further into fanaticism. The day I called Trump “My President”If I'd never left the Doomsday Bunker and found my way to watching a MAGA rally, I'd have never humanized Trump either. I, too, might have said about both of these attempted assassinations, “Too bad he missed.” But I did escape. I had to leave when the hatred I was engaging in made me feel sick. I knew I had to do something to understand better why we were on one side and they were on the other, and why we felt it was okay to treat half the country like human garbage.At first, the MAGA rallies were like homework. I was looking for the smoking gun. Was Trump really Hitler? Was he a bigot and a racist? No. He was just someone who didn't follow our strict rules of language, which had become so rigid that we didn't even know what basic words meant anymore, like man and woman. Over time, the rallies became, for me, the one bright spot amid a long, miserable, dark winter. They were celebrations with happy people. None of them judged each other. All of them were part of an America that people like me had abandoned long ago. Finding my humanity in 2020 would change the course of my life, something I could never have predicted would hit me in middle age. All I knew was that I had to do what I thought was the right thing, and humanizing my enemies was it. So, of course, I was watching Trump's rally in Butler. I wouldn't miss it. When I saw Trump was shot, I said, “Please, God, not my president.” My president. I didn't vote for him in 2020, so how could he be my president? And besides, he hadn't even won yet.I can't really explain it except to say that by then, I knew the forces that had been marshaled to remove Trump from power by any means necessary, and there were only a few months left before it was too late for them. Would they really go this far? Could they? Would it have been like shooting fish in a barrel to find vulnerable people who might want to make something of their miserable lives by becoming famous for taking out Public Enemy Number One?I guess it's as Rupert Pupkin says in The King of Comedy, “better King for a day than schmuck for a lifetime.”One year after Butler, we'll never know the answer to that. If there ever was any evidence, it's long gone by now. It could just be that lockdowns caused real harm to the minds of the young, especially young men, and no one has bothered to look into it.One year after Butler, I know I made the right choice when I voted for Trump. I'll be forever grateful to him for rescuing this country and its children from the clutches of fanaticism. And you can't watch as many rallies as I have and come away not liking the guy. Those still awash in rage and delusion might find, decades from now, that they missed out on one of the most spectacular moments in American history when this country elected one of its brightest lights. // This is a public episode.

Pivot Family — you asked, and here we are. Your favorite trio is back: Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder reunite to break down the real stories behind this summer's hottest headlines. From sports and culture to relationships and personal growth, the guys tackle life's toughest pivots—and how one decision can change everything. As always, it's raw, honest, and layered with perspective—locker room wisdom served with laughs, truth, pain, and growth. Lists and rankings are just opinions, and you know what the people say about opinions, so this week, the crew reminds us why impact over income is often the better path. They dive into the cost of fame and the price of trusting the wrong people—like Rams star Puka Nacua's public relationship fallout, and how young athletes with good hearts often get burned. Tyler Lockett's story of remaining a virgin until marriage at 30 opens up a powerful conversation on discipline, faith, identity, and resisting the pressure to perform—on and off the field. But you already know—Channing's take is going to have you in tears laughing, the things he comes up with is just one of a kind! When it comes to sports and culture no topic's off limits: Cam Newton's callout of Jayden Daniels—was it personal? RC says this was a moment Cam should have taken a chance to be wrong instead of go for the sophomore slump chatter. Gillie da Kid's “young bulls ain't taking my spot” energy—is that confidence or stuck in old ways? Asante Samuel coming for Chris Carter—what does it say about legends letting go or how OG's treat rising stars? Then things get a little more serious.... Naomi Osaka's emotional return to the spotlight sparks a vulnerable dialogue on mental health, pressure, and what it means when even greatness doesn't feel like enough. The guys speak openly about loss, injuries, failure, and the quiet battles no one sees. And finally, with Texas devastated by recent flooding, they reflect on how life can shift in an instant—regardless of status or success. Tragedy doesn't discriminate. And as always, The Pivot is about more than just moving on—it's about moving forward with intention, purpose, and gratitude. We hope this episode gives you something—a laugh, a new perspective, or the clarity you didn't know you needed, because that's what family is for! Learn more about your ad choices.

Launching a Successful Wildlife Career After Losing Your Job: Interview with Wildlife Biologist Jamie Bowles

Fancy Scientist: A Material Girl Living in a Sustainable World

Sometimes, when you think the worst happens, it can actually be the best thing. For wildlife biologist Jamie Bowles of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, losing her job in the medical field launched her wildlife career…I met Jamie through LinkedIn. She has been so supportive of my posts, and I quickly recognized that, like me, she prioritized and loved mentoring. With her ample and sage advice about getting into wildlife careers, I knew she would be the perfect guest for the podcast.Throughout this interview, Jamie calls herself lucky. I don't think she's lucky at all. Rather, she did the RIGHT things to set herself up so that when opportunities were available, they were GIVEN to her. As the Roman philosopher Seneca once said, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” Jamie set herself up for success.Now having worked at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for nine years, Jamie has held a multitude of different jobs. She started out working in fish, but later moved on to work on everything from habitat, to wolves, to now porcupines, and working with the public. She also did this while being a mom of four! As you'll find out from our interview, Jamie had children when she was 18 and went to college after she became a mom. In her wildlife career, she was always going to school and working towards getting this career while balancing it with motherhood, and she has some amazing wisdom about how she did it.However, Jamie's story is not without its challenges–she got a later start in her career than more traditional students, having turned to wildlife biology after losing her job in the medical field amidst the COVID-19 pandemic (which she later realized was a blessing in disguise!). She returned to school as a non-traditional student, being older and also a mom.Although Jamie was aware of these challenges, she didn't let them hold her back. She was strategic. Through networking, flexibility, and operating with knowledge of a long-term career plan, Bowles was well-prepared when opportunity presented itself. Luck alone would not have gotten her to where she is today!I have worked with hundreds of students, sharing my over 20 years of knowledge as a wildlife biologist to help them land permanent careers in this field, and I know for a FACT that you don't need luck to land your dream job – you make it happen.Jamie's hard work has led her all over Oregon, working with numerous species of wildlife. From backpacking up the mountains as an intern with fish in bags (yes, fish in bags!), to managing wolf-human relationships, to launching a community science project to document North American porcupine presence, Jamie Bowles has truly done it all! I can't wait for you to listen to this episode and hear all about the exciting, fun, and crazy stories she has to tell.Jamie also recognizes that success is not a path that is walked alone. She stresses the importance of mentorship, and we talk all about how to find a mentor, what you can gain from mentorship, and the role it played in her career. Once a mentee, and now a mentor herself, check out Jamie Bowles' LinkedIn for great advice about wildlife careers!If you're interested in wildlife biology, especially as a non-traditional student or career switcher, you will be left inspired following along with Jamie Bowles' journey and how she got to where she is today. Her resilience will motivate you, and her wisdom will leave you feeling like you, too, can conquer not only the challenges that this field presents but whatever personal obstacles you're facing as well.You will learn that Jamie put herself out there, that she was actively networking, and she made opportunities happen for her.Specifically, I go over:Jamie Bowles' experience working in wildlife biology at the state level and how she landed her first jobsWhat it's like to work in different types of positions within a state agency, and what it takes to get jobs like thoseThe competitive nature of wildlife careersThe importance of networking and finding good mentorsHow experience and education help you land a permanent position in wildlife careersCrazy experiences she's had while on the jobWhat it's like working with wolvesHer experiences working in wildlife biology as a mom of four And MORE!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

I'm not a religious person but I love making these books because so many of the stories we get are truly miraculous, no matter what your beliefs, and they just go to show that wonderful things can happen when we least expect them. Like the first story in the book – and by the way I always put one of my absolute favorites first in every book.

People sometimes cheat on their partner. Not everyone – but some do. This episode begins with some insight into one big reason that causes infidelity in a marriage or relationship. https://www.thoughtco.com/why-people-cheat-on-their-partners-3026688 We are surrounded by information on every topic you can imagine. The problem is that if you want to learn how to do something, you could spend an eternity learning and never get to the doing – because there is always more to learn. The solution to this is to learn less according to Pat Flynn. He is a leading serial entrepreneurs, online marketer and podcaster who has mastered the art of "lean learning" – to learn just enough. Pat joins me to explain how it works. Pat is author of the book Lean Learning: How to Achieve More by Learning Less (https://amzn.to/4jTHGol) and host of the podcast Smart Passive Income (https://www.smartpassiveincome.com/spi/). The world of economics may sound a bit academic but your whole life and the decisions you make are all about economics. And once you understand that, you can learn how things like game theory, uncertainty, overthinking and other economic principles can help you navigate life. Here to explain how to do that is Daryl Fairweather. She is chief economist at Redfin, where she analyzes US housing markets and consumer behavior as well as a member of the academic advisory council of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and a former senior economist at Amazon. Daryl is author of the book, Hate the Game: Economic Cheat Codes for Life, Love, and Work (https://amzn.to/3ZyDbs0). Some people prefer to go barefoot – particularly in the summer.
