The sluggish employment landscape explains why workers are now “job hugging,” rather than job hopping. The challenge is to fight the urge to hunker down and instead try to be proactive and focus on what you can control. That means raise your hand for any new opportunity at your company, update your LinkedIn profile/fire up your network, and consider pursuing any side hustle that might help your cash flow and spark creativity. For those who have been unlucky enough to lose a job, know that the loss is not just financial. I reached out to business Psychologist and Executive Coach Dr. Sharon Melnick, PhD, after talking to a variety of folks who were let go recently. The author of two best-selling books, In Your Power and Success Under Stress, Sharon joins us this weekend to discuss the various stages of job loss. Have a money question?

The Hoover History Lab and its Applied History Working Group in close partnership with the Global Policy and Strategy Initiative held The Arsenal of Democracy Technology, Industry, and Deterrence in an Age of Hard Choices on Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 4:00 PM - 5:15 PM PT. The event featured the authors Eyck Freymann, Hoover Fellow, and Harry Halem, Senior Fellow at Yorktown Institute, in conversation with Stephen Kotkin, Kleinheinz Family Senior Fellow. The US military stands at a moment of profound risk and uncertainty. China and its authoritarian partners have pulled far ahead in defense industrial capacity. Meanwhile, emerging technologies are reshaping the character of air and naval warfare and putting key elements of the US force at risk. To prevent a devastating war with China, America must rally its allies to build a new arsenal of democracy. But achieving this goal swiftly and affordably involves hard choices. The Arsenal of Democracy is the first book to integrate military strategy, industrial capacity, and budget realities into a comprehensive deterrence framework. While other books explain why deterrence matters, this book provides the detailed roadmap for how America can actually sustain deterrence through the 2030s—requiring a whole-of-nation effort with coordinated action across Congress, industry, and allied governments. Rapidly maturing technologies are already reshaping the battlefield: unmanned systems on air, land, sea, and undersea; advanced electronic warfare; space-based sensing; and more. Yet China's industrial strengths could give it advantages in a protracted conflict. The United States and its allies must both revitalize their industrial bases to achieve necessary production scale and adapt existing platforms to integrate new high-tech tools. FEATURING Eyck Freymann is a Hoover Fellow at Stanford University and a Non-Resident Research Fellow at the U.S. Naval War College, China Maritime Studies Institute. He works on strategies to preserve peace and protect U.S. interests and values in an era of systemic competition with China. He is the author of several books, including The Arsenal of Democracy: Technology, Industry, and Deterrence in an Age of Hard Choices, with Harry Halem, and One Belt One Road: Chinese Power Meets the World. His scholarly work has appeared in The China Quarterly and is forthcoming in International Security.  Harry Halem is a Senior Fellow at Yorktown Institute. He holds an MA (Hons) in Philosophy and International Relations from the University of St Andrews, and an MSc in Political Philosophy from the London School of Economics.  Mr. Halem worked for the Hudson Institute's Seapower Center, along with multiple UK think-tanks.  He has published a variety of short-form pieces and monographs on various aspects of military affairs, in addition to a short book on Libyan political history. Stephen Kotkin is the Kleinheinz Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution as well as a senior fellow at Stanford's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. He is also the Birkelund Professor in History and International Affairs emeritus at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs (formerly the Woodrow Wilson School), where he taught for 33 years. He earned his PhD at the University of California–Berkeley and has been conducting research in the Hoover Library & Archives for more than three decades. Kotkin's research encompasses geopolitics and authoritarian regimes in history and in the present.

Tears of joy, tears of sadness, tears of frustration or tears of pain - humans are thought to be the only animals that cry tears of emotion. CrowdScience listener Lizzy wants to know: why do we cry for emotional reasons? What is its evolutionary benefit? And why do some people cry more than others? It turns out that humans cry three types of tear: basal, reflex and emotional. The first kind keeps our eyes nice and lubricated and the second flushes out irritants such as fumes from the pesky onion, but the reasons for emotional tears are a bit harder to pin down. Using a specially designed tear collection kit, presenter Caroline Steel collects all three kinds of tears. With them safely stashed in tiny vials, she heads to the Netherlands, to Maurice Mikkers' Imaginarium of Tears. Looking at her crystallised tears under a microscope will hopefully unveil a mystery or two. Marie Bannier-Hélaouët, who grew tear glands for her PhD, explains how the nervous system processes our emotions into tears. But why should we cry for both happiness and sadness, and for so many other emotions in between? Ad Vingerhoets, Professor of Clinical Psychology at Tilburg University, suggests we cry for helplessness - our bodies do not know how to process such intensity of feeling. But do these tears bring relief? Lauren Bylsma, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh, has been studying heart rates during crying episodes to find out. With her help, we also explore if women do in fact cry more than men, and why that might be.

"I was prioritizing the general trend toward a carb load, but it really kind of stressed me out in a way that I was a little bit surprised by. But also, we talk about this in the REDs space all the time—having energy is better than having no energy," shares REDs researcher Melissa (Mel) Lodge, whom you may know from following @FED_Collaborative on Instagram.  Lodge was an elite track and field athlete who competed collegiately, but hasn't tackled longer distances until now. (She's done some 10Ks, but never raced a half-marathon!) Her REDs and female athlete health reserach, along with the coursework she has completed for both her PhD and her dietetics cirruculum, certainly set her up with an immense fueling and health knowledge base going into this experience.  She ran her first marathon at the Wineglass Marathon in October 2025, crossing the finish line in 2:51:45, 3rd female overall and 1st in her age group (25-29).  But it wasn't easy! She shares how she structured her training plan while also finishing her dissertation (which she successfuly defeneded just last week), how she fueled, what worked and didn't work for her, what surprised her about the whole process, and why she's not sure she'll do another one...at least not for a while!  We wrap things up by exploring a few of the 10 things she wishes more people knew about REDs. So, come for a marathon recap, stay for some hot takes! Follow Mel on IG at @FED_Collaborative.  If you're looking for sports nutriton and marathon fueling support for your next training cycle, and/or a coach informed in REDs and women's health, go to our Lane 9 Women's Sport and Health Directory at lane9project.org/directory.  Follow Lane 9 on IG @Lane9Project, and contact us anytime via Lane9project.org

To hear the entire interview, please consider joining my Patreon and becoming a member; alternately, this episode can be purchased for a one-time fee. More information at www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion.My guest this month is Dr. Bastiaan van Rijn.Bastiaan is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. During his PhD, he has investigated how practitioners of different movements in the nineteenth century tried to scientifically prove life after death exists. The outcome of this project is the book Afterlife Research (forthcoming), as well as several open-access articles. Beside this, he is also interested in playful approaches to religion and divination in the contemporary West. His newest project centers on spiritual tourism.This interview takes us into the fascinating world of Mesmerism—also known as animal magnetism—and its enduring influence on the boundaries between science, mysticism, and spiritual inquiry. Bastiaan gives a brief bio of Franz Anton Mesmer, who in the late 18th century proposed that an invisible fluid flowed through all living beings, capable of healing and revealing hidden truths. Though controversial and dismissed by many, Mesmer's ideas sparked a lineage of thought that continues to shape contemporary conversations about consciousness, healing, and the legitimacy of scientific inquiry.We discuss how Mesmerism blended science and mysticism, influenced public perception, and laid the groundwork for practices ranging from hypnotism and New Thought to modern-day energetic healing. Bastiaan's own research picks up this thread, tracing how the experimental impulse to make the invisible visible evolved into afterlife studies, somnambulism, and psychical research.From there, we dive into Bastiaan's dissertation, which examines the emergence of a “scientific culture” in afterlife research—one grappling with empirical inaccessibility, unreliable intermediaries, and skeptical resistance. Through case studies of three spiritual animal magnetizers, Bastiaan uncovers how different strategies were used to stabilize claims and navigate the tension between belief and method.Ultimately, this conversation invites us to rethink what counts as scientific, Bastiaan invites us to consider not just what these researchers claimed to find, but how they tried to find it, as well as how experimental practices in esoteric and spiritual domains contribute to broader dialogues about religion, and the unseen dimensions of human experience.What emerges is a rich, transhistorical culture of inquiry—one that challenges our assumptions about science, religion, and the boundaries of legitimate knowledge.PROGRAM NOTESFind Bastiaan:Bastiaan Benjamin Van Rijn - University of FribourgBastiaan van Rijn | LinkedInInstagramResearchGate – all research[PhD Diss.] The Experimental Culture of Afterlife Research: Attempts by Spiritual Animal Magnetizers to Prove Life after Death | Request PDF(PDF) Chapter 9 Building a Typology for Intentional Transformative Experiences: Louis- Alphonse Cahagnet's Experiments with Magnetic Somnambulism and HashishBastiaan van Rijn (0000-0003-4247-9198) - ORCIDOther Resources:1784: The Marquis de Puységur and the psychological turn in the west - PubMedThe seeress of Prevorst; being revelations concerning the inner-life of man, and the inter-diffusion of a world of spirits in the one we inhabit : Kerner, Justinus Andreas Christian, 1786-1862 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet ArchiveInvestigations of psychic/spiritual phenomena in the nineteenth century: somnambulism and spiritualism, 1811-1860A Republic of Mind and Spirit – Wonderful history of Metaphysics in the USA

It explores why simply limiting screen time or enforcing rules isn't enough, and instead emphasizes building environments that foster long-term habits and motivation. His book 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation―And Making Your Own Life Easier unpacks this even more.  It's not hard to make the connection between top-down rules about screen time and top-down rules about using AI. If parents or teachers want kids to obey the rules, we need to give kids agency and involve them in setting their own boundaries.

Sarah saw an old clip from the Ruins season of the Challenge with Susie and Sarah together, and we discuss why the boys bullied Sarah. We learn why time seems to be speeding up for everyone, and what you can do to slow it down. Sarah explains the strange nature of the Kardashians editing and why she enjoys vacuous movies and tv while Susie, who is a big fan of superficiality normally is a documentary junkie. We discuss why elephant seals drop like a stone in the ocean when they're sleeping, and why humans are far more vulnerable when they snooze each night.

Stefan Molyneux analyzes women's achievements in academia through a social media post by a new PhD graduate in entomology. He contrasts societal reactions to success between women and men, discussing the supportive "buoyancy" encountered by women versus the criticism often faced by men. Broader implications are examined, including potential cultural disconnection from prioritizing women's education over traditional roles like motherhood. Stefan calls for a deeper understanding of how individual accomplishments impact familial structures and societal values.https://x.com/StefanMolyneux/status/1991218733092626936SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

James Kimmel, Jr., PhD, is an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine and the author of The Science of Revenge. He’s known in part for identifying compulsive revenge seeking as an addiction. He explains how perceived wrongs, grievances, and revenge desires—and how we deal with them, or not—affect us all. Actually trying to get revenge is pretty much always a lost cause—it simply makes us feel worse—but often, blanket forgiveness feels impossible. Which is why Kimmel came up with a simple but brilliant process that you can run through in the courtroom of your mind.

AI has woven itself into our daily lives so quietly and so quickly that many of us don't even realize how emotionally attached we're becoming to it... and your AI chatbot might be destroying the way you connect & communicate in your relationships in real life. My guest, Dr. Rachel Wood, a licensed counselor with a PhD in cyberpsychology, helps us make sense of why AI feels so safe, so comforting, and in some cases so intimate, and what it means for our real relationships when a chatbot becomes the place we go to feel understood. We talk about the very real appeal of an AI companion that never gets tired, never gets defensive, and always seems to “get” you. And we also talk about the moments when that dynamic crosses into something unhealthy: when an omnibot becomes your therapist, your best friend, your partner, and your decision-maker… all at once. Rachel shares examples of how dependency forms, how delusions can develop, and why our relational and cognitive “muscles” matter more than ever in this new landscape. This conversation isn't anti-AI. It's about staying awake, staying human, and staying connected to ourselves and to each other while we navigate a technology that is becoming surprisingly personal. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 How AI Is Changing Human Relationships 09:20 The Spectrum of AI Relationships 20:18 Cognitive Offloading and Its Real-World Consequences 27:31 Using AI for Growth Without Losing Agency 32:59 When AI Becomes a Dependency 37:07 The Dangers of AI Escalation: A Suicidality Case Study 43:03 AI in Therapy: Tool or Replacement? 51:16 How to Support Someone Attached to Their AI If you're listening to this and realizing you may be leaning on AI a little more than feels good, or maybe you're worried about someone you love, please know you're not alone. These are tender places, and they deserve real, caring support. If you'd like a safe space to sort through what's coming up for you, or if you're craving more connection and clarity in your relationships, I'd love to help you get started. You can schedule a consultation with me or someone on my team. Tell us what's on your heart and what you're hoping for. We'll help you get matched with the right support so you can feel steady, understood, and empowered again.

Nitric oxide touches nearly every system that keeps us alive, yet it's one of the first things to decline with age.  In this episode, I sit down with my friend Dr. Nathan Bryan to uncover how low nitric oxide affects blood pressure, circulation, metabolism, sexual performance, and even the microbiome on your skin and in your mouth. We get real about the everyday habits silently blocking this molecule, like mouthwash, fluoride, antacids, sugar, and an over-sterilized environment. We also talk about what restoring nitric oxide can do for your energy, clarity, stamina, and long-term health.   "There's only two people in the world who need nitric oxide. There's the people who are sick and wanna get well, and there's the people who are well and don't wanna get sick." ~ Dr. Nathan Bryan   In This Episode: - What is nitric oxide? - Why Viagra doesn't work for 50% of men - Ways to increase nitric oxide - Symptoms of nitric oxide deficiency - The age related decline in nitric oxide production - How heavy metals and toxins scavenge nitric oxide - How to naturally restore nitric oxide - Dr. Bryan's nitric oxide lozenge and skincare - The problem with beets, and oxalates in vegetables  - How often to take nitric oxide lozenge   Products & Resources Mentioned: N1O1 Nitric Oxide Supplements: Lower pressure, sharper energy, youthful glow.

Dr. Rachel Gatlin entered neuroscience with curiosity and optimism. Then came chaos. She started her PhD at the University of Utah in March 2020—right as the world shut down. Her lab barely existed. Her advisor was on leave. Her project focused on isolation stress in mice, and then every human on earth became her control group. Rachel fought through supply shortages, grant freezes, and the brutal postdoc job market that treats scientists like disposable parts. When her first offer vanished under a hiring freeze, she doubled down, rewrote her plan, and won her own NIH training grant. Her story is about survival in the most literal sense—how to keep your brain intact when the system built to train you keeps collapsing.RELATED LINKS• Dr. Rachel Gatlin on LinkedIn• Dr. Gatlin's Paper Preprint• Dr. Eric Nestler on Wikipedia• News Coverage: Class of 2025 – PhD Students Redefine PrioritiesFEEDBACKLike this episode?

In this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy, and Smart podcast, host Dr. Karen Litzy welcomes Dr. Pedro Teixeira, MD, PhD, co-founder and CEO of Prediction Health. They discuss the intersection of technology and healthcare, focusing on how tech can enhance clinical care and improve healthcare performance. Dr. Teixeira shares insights from his journey developing AI tools for clinical documentation and analytics, emphasizing the importance of mission-driven work, navigating ambiguity, and the parallels between tech founders and clinicians.   Takeaways   Dealing with ambiguity is crucial in both tech and healthcare. Tracking progress with meaningful metrics is essential. Feedback from real users leads to valuable insights. AI can significantly reduce clinicians' documentation time. Human elements are vital in tech and healthcare systems. Continuous improvement is key to success. Selling outcomes is more effective than selling products. Data interpretation requires context and thoughtful analysis. Trying and failing is better than not trying at all.   Chapters   ·     00:00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction ·       00:00:00 Parallels Between Tech Founders and Clinicians ·       00:00:00 Mission-Driven Work and Dealing with Ambiguity ·       00:00:00 Importance of Metrics and Feedback ·       00:00:01 AI's Role in Reducing Documentation Time ·       00:00:01 Human Elements in Tech and Healthcare ·       00:00:01 Continuous Improvement and Selling Outcomes ·       00:00:02 Data Interpretation and Context ·       00:00:02 Advice on Trying and Failing   More About Dr. Teixeira: Pedro Teixeira, MD, PhD, is the Co-founder and CEO of PredictionHealth, a Prompt company that is addressing one of healthcare's fundamental challenges: clinical documentation.

In this episode, Dmitry Repin, PhD joins to discuss the intersection of bodily movement and psychedelics. Dr. Repin is the co-founder of the Institute for Psychedelic Research at Tel Aviv University, holds a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, and is the producer and creative force behind the Everything Else Matters documentary. In this conversation, Dr. Repin explores how psychedelics may influence movement, proprioception, and motor learning, drawing from his background in neuroscience and his transformative experiences with dance practices like Gaga. He describes his team's innovative clinical study pairing psilocybin with guided movement training to investigate whether altered states can open temporary windows of enhanced plasticity for learning new movement patterns. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Repin reflects on why so many people feel inhibited in their bodies, how psychedelics might soften these constraints, and what traditional movement-based ceremonies can teach modern clinical research about embodiment, healing, and the relationship between perception and action.   In this episode, you'll hear: How dance and Gaga inspired Dr. Repin's scientific interest in movement during psychedelic states Kinesiophobia and why many people experience fear, shame, or inhibition around movement Why Dr. Repin chose psilocybin for his study on psychedelics and movement How Dr. Repin's study measures movement changes using optical tracking and multi-dimensional metrics What makes Gaga movement practices unique compared to other approaches to dance and movement The structure of the psilocybin-plus-movement protocol developed at Tel Aviv University How psychedelics may temporarily enhance motor learning through shifts in proprioception and neuroplasticity What ritual and communal dance contexts reveal about the embodied dimensions of psychedelic experiences   Quotes: "If we understand those [neurological] mechanisms, we can try to influence certain situations where people have deficits related to movement." [4:47] "For example, when I go to a dance training session [after a recent psychedelic experience], I find that I actually internalize movement patterns much faster than I do otherwise—and it's noticeable to my dance teacher." [8:56] "Part of the hypothesis that we have is that certain qualities or dimensions of movement might be affected more or less by psychedelics than others and that potentially, will give us some insights into the specific brain mechanisms because certain different types of movement sometimes require different circuits to engage in different parts of the body." [19:47] "Some initial wisdom, some anecdotes, or some best practices that have been developed within those non-clinical settings may be very useful to inform clinical—and maybe other—areas that use psychedelics."

We sit down with the legend, the scholar, and the cultural architect — Dr. Todd Boyd, professor at USC (University of Southern California) also known as “The Notorious Ph.D.” One of the most respected voices in sports, film, hip-hop, race, and American culture, Dr. Boyd brings a raw, intelligent, and unfiltered conversation that every fan of the culture needs to hear.Born and raised in Detroit, Dr. Boyd reflects on how growing up in one of the most influential Black cities in America shaped his worldview. From the sound of Motown to the grit of the streets to the pride of a city that produces icons, Detroit built his mindset — and ultimately molded the cultural force he would become.He opens up about his decision to attend The University of Iowa, revealing the unexpected reasons that pulled him away from home and the experiences that helped sharpen his voice as a thinker, writer, and observer of society.Before the world knew him as a cultural critic, Dr. Boyd's first love wasn't film or academia — it was the sweet science. He breaks down how watching the artistry of boxing, especially the greatness of Muhammad Ali, shaped his sense of identity, resistance, performance, and Black excellence. Ali wasn't just a fighter — he was the blueprint that inspired Boyd's lifelong commitment to telling the truth through culture.From there, he talks about how Dr. J (the other Dr. J — Julius Erving) inspired him to take his education further, ultimately pushing him toward earning his PhD. That moment of seeing Dr. J float through the air made him realize what was possible for a Black man with vision, talent, and discipline.Throughout the episode, Dr. Boyd walks us through an extraordinary career that's woven into the fabric of Black culture. From shaping conversations on ESPN and CNN… to writing some of the most important cultural analysis of the last few decades… to leaving an imprint on Black cinema. And yes — we go deep on “The Wood,” one of the beloved films he helped bring to life, and how its authenticity, humor, and heart reflected the real Black experience.This episode is a blueprint for creators, storytellers, athletes, and anyone who cares about the culture. It's academic, it's real, it's inspirational — and it's filled with gems only Dr. Todd Boyd can deliver.Turn this one all the way up — it's a masterclass. More of Dr. Todd Boyd:Instagram  ⁨@notoriousphd⁩  Twitter/X: @DrToddBoyd  Latest Book: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Todd-Boyd/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ATodd%2BBoyd

“If I had been enslaved for a year or two, I might not be able to believe in humanity any more.” “I am a victim of modern slavery.” These chilling words come from a Taiwanese female lured by a fake job offer, only to be sold into a scam compound in Cambodia. She is not alone. She is one of thousands deceived into this industry—people who left home hoping for a better life, only to find themselves trapped in a living nightmare. Scam: Inside Southeast Asia's Cybercrime Compounds (Verso Books, 2025) arrives at a critical moment, shedding light on one of the world's fastest-growing criminal economies: Southeast Asia's online scam industry. Running the gamut from the notorious “pig butchering” romance scams to elaborate online extortion and investment frauds, this system has transformed parts of the region into global hubs of cybercrime. Meticulously researched and grounded in years of fieldwork, Scam offers an unflinching look into the prison-like compounds that have mushroomed across multiple countries. Within these walled complexes, victims are often coerced into becoming perpetrators—trapped in what the authors describe as “compound capitalism,” a chilling hybrid of enslavement and exploitation. Scam traces how small-scale online gambling rings evolved into an international “scamdemic,” accelerated by the disruptions of COVID-19. It examines the “victim–offender trap”, a moral and psychological paradox that makes empathy difficult for outsiders. The result is a deeply human investigation into how modern slavery adapts to digital capitalism. The authors uncover the operations of scam compounds across Southeast Asia. In my interview with Ling and Ivan, what stood out was not only their depth of knowledge but their compassion. They used their skills to build trust with victims, gather evidence, and, in some cases, help orchestrate rescues. Their work is both rigorous and profoundly humane, illuminating a crisis that grows more complex each day. Though many of those involved—both perpetrators and victims—are ethnically Chinese, the networks now span continents. The scam compounds are a global phenomenon, built on economic desperation, weak governance, and digital interconnectivity. Scam is more than an exposé. It is a call to action and a vital first step toward understanding a new form of global exploitation—where modern technology and ancient cruelty combine to create a system that enslaves the vulnerable and profits from despair. Ling Li is pursuing a PhD at Ca' Foscari University of Venice with a focus on the role of technology in enabling modern slavery and human trafficking in East and Southeast Asia. In the past few years, she has been providing support to survivors of scam compounds in Southeast Asia, interacting with local and international civil society organisations to bring them relief and help with repatriation. Ivan Franceschini is a lecturer at the Asia Institute, University of Melbourne. His current research focuses on ethnic Chinese transnational crime, especially in the field of online fraud. He co-founded the Made in China Journal and The People's Map of Global China/ Global China Pulse. His books include Proletarian China (2022), Global China as Method (2022), and Afterlives of Chinese Communism (2019). He also co-directed the documentaries Dreamwork China (2011) and Boramey (2021). Mark Bo is a researcher who has been based in East and Southeast Asia for 2 decades. He has worked globally with local civil society partners to monitor and advocate for improved environmental and social practices in development projects and utilises his background in corporate and financial mapping to investigate stakeholders involved in Asia's online gambling, fraud, and money laundering industries. Bing Wang receives her PhD at the University of Leeds in 2020. Her research interests include the exploration of overseas Chinese cultural identity and critical heritage studies. She is also a freelance translator. Learn more about your ad choices.

After 20+ years at some of the most important Silicon Valley tech companies like Yahoo, LinkedIn, Oracle, Informix and NerdWallet, Bhaskar today leads investment of enterprise infrastructure companies at 8 VC.Bhaskar Ghosh spent 20+ years at some of the most important Silicon Valley tech companies before moving into venture capital as a Partner at 8VC.After completing his PhD in computer science from Yale, he worked across Yahoo, LinkedIn, Oracle, Informix and NerdWallet. He brings this experience to founders building the next generation of enterprise infrastructure companies.In this episode Bhaskar explains how IT services are being reimagined for India, a country that over the last 25 years turned its skilled workforce into a global services engine. We discuss the shift happening inside workflows most people do not think about: mid-office ops, call centers, insurance, travel and HR. These are areas where thousands of people move information every day, and where AI is now good enough to take over entire workflows.Bhaskar talks about the founders already building in this space, including those buying traditional services companies and rebuilding them with AI at the core. He also explains why this new wave will not behave, scale or be valued like SaaS, because this is no longer pure software. It is the reinvention of services.If you are a founder making engineering decisions, someone curious about the less visible layers of software, or interested in people who move technology forward, this conversation with Bhaskar is for you.00:00 –Trailer03:03 – How India will reimagine IT services (TCS, Infosys)04:32 – “why now” of services06:07 – How unstructured data became easier to handle?07:53 – What LLMs can do today with high precision10:35 – Use of GenAI will increase margins in services11:54 – Front & mid offices will become more productive and lean14:30 – Will a pure services business scale anymore?15:55 – Legacy service businesses + AI-first software20:04 – Real challenge to operate and scale such businesses20:33 – 3 reasons on why SaaS companies get higher multiples?22:06 – Network-effect players win big in SaaS24:18 – Replacing software v/s replacing services26:16 – Business without inherent network effects (yet)28:22 – Is AI unlocking TAM larger than Software era?30:57 – How prosperity of a country influences growth of Co's32:50 – India's tech talent is key to India-US corridor39:36 – Deeply disruptive AI Co's will come from India43:04 – How new-age AI services companies of India should grow in US?44:39 – Current BPOs have an unfair advantage47:21 – Will older BPOs understand the importance of AI?49:22 – A Moat in outcome-based pricing can replace old businesses51:50 – Has the US ever been sensitive to cost?55:23 – The new AI-enabled services have a Palantir-risk flavour58:47 – Where to build when model Co's eat forward & backward revenue?01:06:10 – What type of founding teams are needed?01:08:10 – How founders think about GTM is changing-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Journalists just asked Pam Bondi of The Justice Dept whether she intends to follow the law.Imagine that—the nation pausing to wonder whether the Attorney General,the very steward of justice,the keeper of statutes and truth,will honor the rules she's sworn to defend.It's almost poetic…if it weren't so painfully absurd.Well, the pragmatist would say, the law is not a shackle. So they may follow it loosely.SMH. #Rulesoflaw #EpsteinFiles #lawBy Renaldo Mckenzie,, PhD (c), M.PhilAuthor of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, https://store.theneoliberal.comCreator and Host, The Neoliberal Round https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal and The Neoliberal CorporationHttps://theneoliberal.com

We often confuse happiness with the absence of sadness, or a meaningful life with a productive one. The result might be a life that runs smoothly, but feels strangely flat — as if something essential is missing from the story. What if a truly good life isn't just happy and meaningful, but also interesting?Our guest today is Shige Oishi, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Chicago and author of Life in Three Dimensions (2025). Oishi pioneered the idea of psychological richness — the notion that a good life requires a diverse set of interesting, even disorienting experiences. As an expert in social ecology and well-being, his work spans more than 200 scientific articles and has been featured in outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal.Over the course of our conversation, professor Oishi traces his own journey from an undergraduate in booming-economy Tokyo — surrounded by overworked, unhappy adults — to a career in psychology in the United States, where seeing professors live differently opened his eyes to alternative ways of being. We explore how cultures like Japan, the United States, Finland, and Denmark differ in what they chase and expect from life; why small, everyday joys and high-quality relationships matter more than grand achievements; and how “success” and “ambition” can quietly shape our sense of happiness.We then dive into psychological richness as a third dimension of the good life alongside happiness and meaning — one defined by variety, newness, and memorable stories, often colored by both positive and negative emotions. We discuss the risks of chasing only stability and efficiency; the importance of spontaneity; and the surprisingly simple ways we can cultivate psychological richness by staying curious and saying “yes” more often.In this episode, you'll hear about: 3:00 - Oishi's path to studying the psychology of wellbeing 8:45 - Rising competitiveness in American culture and how it is affecting lifelong happiness 13:30 - Why Finland and Denmark are regularly rated the happiest countries 15:55 - Whether there is a “correct” way to find meaning and happiness19:15 - What it means to be “psychologically rich” 28:00 - Balancing positive and negative emotions in a happy, meaningful, and psychologically rich life41:30 - Developing psychological richness 45:45 - How psychological richness can help address physician burnoutIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah E. Hill, PhD, whose research has completely changed the way I think about hormones and how they shape our day to day lives. I wanted to bring her on because she has a gift for taking complex science and turning it into tools that actually make sense in real life. We get into how our hormones influence the brain, what really happens when birth control enters the picture, and why mood, cravings, energy, and even relationships can shift across the month. We also touch on practical ways to eat, train, and live in sync with your cycle, plus simple changes that can make everything from PMS to performance feel more manageable.
