Join Chris Cillizza and Matt Lewis for a candid, in-depth chat breaking down the latest in American politics.In this episode, they discuss:— Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker is prepping for a presidential campaign in 2028. Why last night's Illinois primary was a step in the right direction for that.— The generational shift shaking up the Democratic Party: Longtime “old bulls” like Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) retiring after decades in office, opening the door for younger, more progressive voices.— Post-Trump Democratic reckoning: Purity tests, identity politics, immigration/border messaging, trans issues, and the search for authentic, vibe-driven candidates who can rebuild a broad coalition.— Why traditional “competent moderate” profiles (think Josh Shapiro-style resumes) might not cut it anymore — and the case for outsiders like Mark Cuban, Jon Stewart, Jesse “The Body” Ventura, or even wilder cards.— Optics and electability in the modern era: Looks, masculinity vibes, weight, and how Trump broke old rules — but others can't just copy him.— The Republican Party as a cult of personality vs. the fractious Democratic coalition — and what it means for both sides moving forward.— Whether you're tracking 2028 speculation, Senate power dynamics, or the broader realignment in U.S. politics, this unfiltered conversation delivers sharp insights and no-holds-barred takes.Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

In this episode of Overcoming Distractions, Dave talks with Scott Proposki, a high-level photographer who has shot for the White House and National Geographic. Scott shares his journey of scaling a seven-figure studio, losing it during the 2020 pandemic, and the psychological toll of that transition. The conversation focuses on how entrepreneurs with ADHD can pivot from seeing their condition as a liability to leveraging it as a professional asset. Even when it seems impossible. Key Discussion Topics The Power of Hyper-Focus: Scott discusses how his camera acted as a "superpower," allowing him to achieve elite professional success through intense focus. The Dangers of "The Stop": Why high-energy entrepreneurs with ADHD often thrive in chaos but can struggle with depression when professional momentum suddenly halts. The Myth of Academic Success: Both David and Scott reflect on their poor academic histories (the "C- student" experience) and how it didn't prevent them from both becoming best-selling authors. The Importance of Body Doubling: Scott identifies how his previous success relied on having assistants or office managers to act as "accountability partners" and why isolation during the pandemic was so damaging. Building Repeatable Systems: A look at the Mark Cuban philosophy: why entrepreneurs must create repeatable systems to turn a "chaotic job" into a real business. Recovering from Zero: Insights into the mindset shifts required to rebuild a business and professional identity after a total loss.

We've spoken with many guests about clinical and technological trends impacting healthcare providers, but less so about the trends on the business side of practicing medicine. So on this episode, we're going to make up for that by spending our time with Dr. Alexander Vaccaro, an influential spine surgeon and president of one of the largest musculoskeletal practices in the U.S. -- Rothman Orthopaedic Institute -- which treats patients at over 40 locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Florida. While Dr. Vaccaro understands the desire for financial stability that's increasingly driving young physicians into the arms of hospital systems, he worries about what's being lost with the resulting decline in the number of independent practices. “If you didn't have private practice advocating for the doctor, the insurance companies would bully the healthcare profession.” Join Raise the Line host Michael Carrese for a candid and lively conversation that also covers: How physician autonomy and entrepreneurship can drive innovation; The economic and policy forces reshaping private practice medicine; The role of research partnerships between private practices and universities.

Most small business owners are waiting for universities to produce the employees they need. The smart ones stopped waiting years ago — and started building their own training programs.In this episode, Chris Cooper looks at a quiet trend reshaping how companies find, develop, and keep talent: the rise of the company college. Rolex opened a tuition-free watchmaking school in Dallas, complete with a monthly stipend and a final exam in Geneva. Google built a certificate program now recognized by over 150 employers. And just this week, MasterClass launched MasterClass Executive — a 12-week, AI-powered business school built with the University of Chicago and OpenAI, taught by Ray Dalio, Mark Cuban, and Nobel Laureates.These aren't vanity projects. They're strategic solutions to a real problem: universities aren't producing job-ready graduates fast enough, and the companies that can't afford to wait are building their own pipelines.Chris shares how he did exactly this at Two-Brain Business, and breaks down a four-phase blueprint any company can follow — regardless of size or budget. You'll learn why 15-minute daily lessons outperform full-day orientations, why gamification isn't just for millennials, and why your credential matters as much as your curriculum.Your Golden Hour task this week: define one role, list 10 skills, write one 15-minute lesson. That's Module One of your Company College.Next episode: how to layer a mentorship and coaching program on top of your training — turning trained employees into future leaders.Business is good.Connect with Chris Cooper:Website - https://businessisgood.com/
Mark Cuban calls “buy and hold” the most misleading slogan in investing—so what does that mean for your retirement? From this past weekend’s radio show, Abe Abich breaks down the risky assumptions many investors make about retirement, from taxes and longevity to market volatility and income planning. The conversation explores why accumulation‑only thinking can fall short as retirement approaches and how shifting from pure growth to growth‑and‑income changes everything.

If you're a first-time founder, you're probably feeling it: Cold outreach gets ignored. Paid ads are expensive and unpredictable. And in an increasingly "fake" online world, trust is harder (and slower) to earn. The result? You burn weeks in meetings, chase intros that never materialize, and pour energy into "partnerships" that look good on paper… then ghost at the finish line. In this episode, Jayla sits down with Kyle Kane (former Universal Music VP of A&R, TEDx speaker, executive producer, award-winning entrepreneur), now founder of Onspark.com, to break down why partnerships are the #1 growth driver for modern businesses—and how early-stage founders can stop guessing and start building partnerships that actually produce revenue. Kyle shares lessons from building over $2B in partnership value working with major brands and artists, then explains how he's turning that playbook into OnSpark, an AI-powered partnership engine designed to help founders, creators, and investors find vetted, aligned, high-intent partners. What You'll Learn: The real reason most partnerships fail: misalignment + unclear value exchange How Kyle reverse-engineered partnership success into a simple lifecycle: Discover → Verify → Launch → Amplify The two hidden deal-killers that often show up right before the finish line: Low self-worth ("What do I even have to offer?") Lack of trust (ghosting, last-minute fear, sabotage) How to define a "successful partnership" based on your stage (audience, distribution, clients, investors, etc.) The founder investor strategy most people get wrong: Stop treating investor meetings like interviews—you're interviewing them Ask the questions that reveal if they can actually cut a check The value of being (not just looking) buttoned up when talking to investors The growth principle trends Kyle sees successful entrepreneurs have: Distribution before product Leverage over effort "Build environments where luck becomes inevitable" Being focused is the #1 force of nature for any entrepreneur Kyle's take on AI: essential, but dangerous if it replaces your thinking Visit OnSpark Today– AI-powered partnership engine Connect with Kyle on LinkedIn Dan Martell + Book Buy Back Your Time About your Host: About Your Host Jayla Siciliano is an entrepreneur with 25+ years in consumer brands, product, and marketing.

We've had many conversations on Raise the Line about the challenges of health communication in today's world of information overload, but none of our guests have the kind of expertise Dr. Tesfa Alexander has acquired in a career that has taken him from Madison Avenue to the halls of government and academia. From guiding tobacco education research at the FDA to leading public health initiatives at MITRE, Dr. Alexander has developed a deep understanding of the science and strategy behind effective health communication. “Successful campaigns keep the long game in mind where you want to develop a lasting relationship with your target audience,” he tells host Lindsey Smith. That relationship needs to be built on understanding culture, beliefs, priorities and daily realities, and only then can you develop messaging that will resonate, he explains. Dr. Alexander also believes these relationships can be leveraged to help people sort out facts from misleading or inaccurate claims. “I strongly recommend shifting our focus from combating misinformation head on, and instead working with the communities who we are seeking to serve.” This fascinating look at communication science also covers: How stories drive belief; The importance of working with community partners who are trusted messengers; The power of audience segmentation. Tune in as Dr. Alexander unpacks what it takes to influence beliefs, and ultimately behaviors, in an era defined by misinformation and institutional mistrust.

Entrepreneur Mark Cuban talks to Margaret Hoover about what is wrong with the healthcare system in America and how he hopes to fix it.Since selling his majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks and quitting ABC's “Shark Tank,” Cuban has focused his energy on disrupting the healthcare industry. He explains how his company, Cost Plus Drugs, works and why he is taking on pharmacy benefit managers–the insurance industry middlemen he blames for rising drug costs.Cuban addresses broader questions about the industry, telling Margaret why he supports bipartisan legislation to break up big healthcare companies, why he thinks TrumpRx is a good program, and why he doubts universal healthcare is feasible in America today.Cuban, who endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024, also reflects on the Democratic Party's communication problems and comments on whether he would consider running for president himself in 2028.Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Fairweather Foundation, The Tepper Foundation, Peter and Mary Kalikow, The Beth and Ravenel Curry Foundation, Pritzker Military Foundation, Cliff and Laurel Asness, Katharine J.

What happens when a personal tragedy becomes the catalyst for helping thousands of families preserve their stories? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Charlie Greene, CEO and Co-Founder of Remento, who turned his experience recording his mom's stories during her cancer diagnosis into a Shark Tank-approved business that's helped over 30,000 families create memory books."Writing feels like homework," Charlie's mom told him when he gave her a write-your-own-memoir book. So he tried something different—he just hit record and started asking questions. That simple pivot became the foundation for Remento, a product that creates keepsake memory books that completely write themselves, no writing required.From discussing the difference between "family history" and "selling a story" to sharing insights about resilience research in children, this conversation explores the art and science of storytelling. Charlie reveals what he learned about helping people who think "I don't know why my story matters" discover that their experiences are worth preserving—and how reframing it as a gift for your kids rather than your own legacy changes everything.Whether you're an entrepreneur building something deeply personal, a leader interested in the power of storytelling, or someone who wants to preserve family memories before it's too late, Charlie's journey from that first recording with his mom to appearing on Shark Tank offers valuable lessons about building businesses that truly matter.Chapter Times and Titles:Introduction: The Story Behind the Story [00:00 - 06:16]Welcome, and the abstract conversation teaseWhat is Remento?

We're marking Rare Disease Month 2026 by highlighting the powerful story of Shanthi Hegde, a young patient advocate working to transform how bleeding disorders are understood, treated, and supported. This work is fueled by her own arduous journey with two rare bleeding disorders and immune dysregulatory syndrome, and an extended diagnostic odyssey marked by dismissal, underdiagnosis, and structural bias. “I was told many times by many providers that these disorders are not common in Indians and that my bruises were there just because I'm brown.” Admirably, Shanthi pushed past this mistreatment, advocated for her medical needs, and devoted herself to tackling a range of issues confronting rare disease patients from mental health access to affordable drug pricing to research equity. In this remarkable Year of the Zebra conversation with host Lindsey Smith, you'll also learn about: Shanti's work with the Hemophilia Federation of America; How gaps extend beyond treatment to include insurance coverage, provider training, and substance use care; What clinicians can do to improve the work they do with rare disease patients. Join us for a conversation that connects patient voice to system change, and explores what real equity for rare disease communities will require.

Dre Baldwin, Steve Kim, and Jay Skapinac join the show, offering their takes on Cuban's comments, the notion that Michael Jordan could become the face of NASCAR, and the cancellation of Cam Newton's BET show, “106 and Sports,” after only eight episodes.

In this episode of The Risk Reversal Podcast, Dan Nathan and Guy Adami break down the massive rotation rocking the tech sector. Why are investors dumping software darlings like Salesforce, Adobe, and Oracle while Apple hits new highs?

They discuss how Dave is using AI-driven underwriting to disrupt JPMorgan and Wells Fargo, slashing default rates from 20% to 1%, and the future of fintech in a high-rate environment. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media
