Story of the Week (DR):War against women continues: Uber Not Responsible for Sex Assault, Jury Finds, as More Cases FollowEthan P. Schulman, the judge presiding over the California state court cases, told jurors that Uber would be responsible for the woman's harm if the company was negligent in using adequate safety measures and the negligence was a “substantial factor” in causing the harm.In its decision, the jury unanimously agreed that Uber had been negligent in its general safety practices when the incident occurred in 2016 — but that the negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the attack. The jury's foreman: “We felt that they could have done more back in the early days of Uber, rather than just focusing on growth,”Meet Lisa Monaco, the 57-year-old Microsoft executive Trump wants fired“Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged Lisa Monaco (A purported pawn of Legal Lightweight Andrew Weissmann), was a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama. Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information. Monaco's having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand.”Monaco helped coordinate the Justice Department's response to the Jan. 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in 2021. In January 2022, Monaco publicly announced that the Justice Department was investigating the Trump fake electors plotMilitary women fear losing 'every bit of ground' as Hegseth looks backward to the 1990sDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that he wants to review Defense Department standards that have changed since the 1990s, a time when military women saw far less support for their service and met drastically lower physical standards than today: "The 1990s test is simple. What were the military standards in 1990? And if they have changed, tell me why. Was it necessary change based on the evolving landscape of combat? Or was the change due to a softening, weakening, or gender-based pursuit of other priorities? 1990s seems to be as good a place to start as any."PGA of America CEO apologizes for Ryder Cup missteps, but group's president denies problemThe Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy's Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf. It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence. The abuse and taunts were so unrelenting that Stoll was spotted with “tears streaming down her face”PGA of America President Don Rea took a different approach on Sunday in a BBC interview where he downplayed the severity of the crowd's behavior: “Well, you have 50,000 people there that are really excited, and heck, you can go to a youth soccer game and get some people who say the wrong things,” Rea said. When asked about the abuse directed at McIlroy, he responded, “I haven't heard some of that. I'm sure it's happened … Rory understands things like that are going to happen.”Fake billionaire manbaby “retirements” continue DRSpotify CEO Daniel Ek to Step Down.

From award-winning writer Sarah Schulman, a longtime social activist and outspoken critic of the Israeli war on Gaza, comes The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity (Penguin, 2025). This book is a brilliant examination of the inherent psychological and social challenges to solidarity movements, and what that means for the future For those who seek to combat injustice, solidarity with the oppressed is one of the highest ideals, yet it does not come without complication. In this searing yet uplifting book, award-winning writer and cultural critic Sarah Schulman delves into the intricate and often misunderstood concept of solidarity to provide a new vision for what it means to engage in this work—and why it matters. To grapple with solidarity, Schulman writes, we must recognize its inherent fantasies. Those being oppressed dream of relief, that a bystander will intervene though it may not seem to be in their immediate interest to do so, and that the oppressor will be called out and punished. Those standing in solidarity with the oppressed are occluded by a different fantasy: that their intervention is effective, that it will not cost them, and that they will be rewarded with friendship and thanks. Neither is always the case, and yet in order to realize our full potential as human beings in relation with others, we must continue to pursue action towards these shared goals. Within this framework, Schulman examines a range of case studies, from the fight for abortion rights in post-Franco Spain, to NYC's AIDS activism in the 1990s, to the current wave of campus protest movements against Israel's war on Gaza, and her own experience growing up as a queer female artist in male dominated culture industries. Drawing parallels between queer, Palestinian, feminist, and artistic struggles for justice, Schulman challenges the traditional notion of solidarity as a simple union of equals, arguing that in today's world of globalized power structures, true solidarity requires the collaboration of bystanders and conflicted perpetrators with the excluded and oppressed. That action comes at a cost, and is not always effective. And yet without it we sentence ourselves to a world without progressive change towards visions of liberation. By turns challenging, inspiring, pragmatic, and poetic, The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity provides a much-needed path for how we can work together to create a more just, more equitable present and future. Sarah Schulman is a novelist, playwright, screenwriter, nonfiction writer, and AIDS historian. Her books include The Gentrification of the Mind, Conflict Is Not Abuse, and Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York, 1987–1993, and the novels The Cosmopolitans and Maggie Terry. Schulman's honors include a Fulbright in Judaic Studies, a Guggenheim in Playwriting, and honors from Lambda Literary, the Publishing Triangle, NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists, the American Library Association, and others. Her writing has appeared in The New Yorker, New York, Harper's Magazine, The Atlantic, The Nation, The New Republic, The New York Times, and The Guardian. Schulman holds an endowed chair in creative writing at Northwestern University and is on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace. Learn more about your ad choices.

Se suele decir que los caminos del destino son impredecibles, y así lo demuestra el regreso de Burberry al FTSE 100. Tras un periodo de ausencia, la firma británica de moda de lujo vuelve a formar parte del índice bursátil más representativo del Reino Unido. Fue el 5 de septiembre de 2024 cuando Burberry tuvo que abandonar este selecto grupo, tras encadenar varios resultados financieros poco favorables. Al igual que el ave Fénix, la marca ha logrado renacer de sus propios tropiezos y retorna al mercado con una renovada energía. La salida del índice vino acompañada de una fuerte caída del 50% en su valor en Bolsa, la cancelación de dividendos y un desplome del 21% en sus ventas. Estos factores forzaron un cambio en la dirección: Jonathan Akeroyd dejó su cargo como CEO y fue reemplazado por Joshua Schulman. Con una visión más adaptada a los tiempos actuales, Schulman se propuso rescatar la esencia clásica de Burberry mientras fortalecía su presencia digital, especialmente en redes sociales. Bajo su liderazgo, los resultados han comenzado a mostrar signos de recuperación. Durante el trimestre cerrado en junio, las ventas comparables disminuyeron solo un 1%, una cifra mejor de lo esperado por el mercado, que anticipaba una caída del 3,7%. En Estados Unidos, las ventas orgánicas crecieron un 4%, lo que generó un impulso en la cotización bursátil de la empresa, con un aumento del 27,5% según datos de Companies Market Cap. A pesar de estos avances, Schulman era consciente de que aún quedaban decisiones difíciles por tomar. En mayo, anunció la reducción del 20% de la plantilla global, lo que representó el recorte de 1.700 empleos y un ahorro estimado de 80 millones de dólares. El 14 de mayo, la acción de Burberry subió un 10% tras ese anuncio. Sin embargo, el foco principal sigue siendo el producto. Schulman ha reconocido el escaso entusiasmo que han generado los diseños de Daniel Lee y ha emprendido una transformación de la oferta. La marca planea volver a destacar sus abrigos, restando protagonismo a los bolsos. Además, ha apostado por capitalizar el auge de la moda retro, lanzando la campaña “Festival”, en la que se entrelazan la estética de los años 90 con la música británica de esa época.

The comedian Fred Armisen has a thing for sound. He's a former punk musician and a master of accents, and he is now releasing a new album of sound effects. “I was lamenting that there aren't sound-effects albums in our lives as much,” he tells Michael Schulman. “I feel like they just used to exist more or they were more present. . . . And instead of just, you know, taking out my phone and just recording stuff, I wanted to treat it properly. Like, let me go to a recording studio and really do it. Let me try to mimic some things that I've heard before.” The result, “100 Sound Effects,” comes out this month on the venerable indie label Drag City. The track titles are themselves punch lines: “Guitar Tuned but Still Somehow Out of Tune,” “Supportive Booing at a Speech,” “Obligatory Applause at a Speech,” and “Terrified Audience at an Authoritarian Nation Official Event.” Talking about the importance of paying attention to the auditory world, Armisen and Schulman went out to record some classic sounds of New York City—and what they couldn't find they faked.This segment was produced with assistance from John DeLore.
Great leaders build courage What if the biggest risk to your leadership isn't failure, but staying stuck where you are? Playing it safe may feel comfortable, but over time it erodes growth, impact, and confidence. That's why bravery is the defining trait of great leaders. In this week's Reflect Forward episode, The Bravery Effect: How Leaders Build Courage, I sit down with Jill Schulman, a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, leadership development expert, and founder of Breakthrough Leadership Group. Jill has dedicated her career to studying the science of bravery, resilience, and peak performance, helping leaders reframe fear not as a barrier but as a signal for growth. Her story is remarkable, going from combat engineering in the Marine Corps to a thriving pharmaceutical career and then leaping into entrepreneurship. Along the way, Jill discovered that bravery isn't about being fearless. It's about taking meaningful action in the presence of fear which every leader needs if they want to step out of the rut and into real influence. In this powerful conversation, Jill and I explore: • Why fear—not failure—is often the greatest barrier to leadership growth • How micro-moments of bravery build resilience and confidence over time • The importance of aligning your career with your strengths and values • How to overcome self-doubt by taking action, not waiting for motivation • Why vulnerability is at the heart of true courage Jill also shares insights from her new book, The Bravery Effect, written as a parable to help readers build their bravery “muscle” one small act at a time. Whether it's speaking up in a meeting, having a tough conversation, or making a major career change, Jill shows us how courage compounds into transformation.

How much does fear hold you back from taking the actions you know you needs? Do you ever catch yourself frozen because of self-doubt…. even when you know there's no reason to doubt your abilities? If so, this episode is for you. Bravery isn't something we're taught in business school, but it's absolutely essential, especially as women building our own businesses. Whether you consider yourself naturally bold or you feel like fear keeps creeping in, you'll find so much inspiration in this chat. This week, I'm thrilled to welcome Jill Schulman to the podcast. Jill is an expert in the science of bravery—yes, it's a real thing! She's a US Marine Corps veteran, has spent years leading in the corporate world, is an entrepreneur, and holds a master's in applied positive psychology (the science of happiness and well-being). Jill's blend of military grit, business savvy, and positive psychology brings a fresh perspective to what bravery really means for women like us. Here's a glimpse of what we cover in this episode: Why is bravery critical for real business success and fulfillment—not just for big moves, but in everyday decisions? What does bravery actually mean, and what common myths hold us back from being truly brave? How can we build our own “bravery muscle” and is it really possible to become braver, even if it doesn't come naturally? What practical steps help shift your mindset, quiet the inner critic, and stay resilient when things go wrong? How can you create a team culture where everyone feels empowered to act bravely (and not just play it safe)? Jill shares stories, science, and plenty of practical tips—plus, we talk about those all-too-familiar fears we all face as women in business. If you want to stop waiting for fear to disappear and start taking stronger action, this episode will show you how. Give it a listen—you might just see “bravery” in a whole new light!

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I'm joined by Jill Schulman, author, former Marine, and a true thought leader on the psychology of bravery. Jill just released her powerful new book, The Bravery Effect, and together we dive deep into what it really means to be brave in today's world. We get personal right away, exploring the difference between bravery and courage, and why Jill believes bravery is a muscle we can all train. She shares both personal stories and groundbreaking research, like how action in the face of fear is what actually builds confidence, not the other way around. We talk about real-life moments where facing discomfort leads to growth, plus the common myth that brave people are simply fearless (spoiler: nobody is, and that's not the goal). Jill opens up about her time as a Marine and what it taught her about facing hard things, from grueling physical tests to being told she'd never make it, then proving everyone wrong. We unpack why our culture too often mistakes comfort for happiness, and how true fulfillment comes from doing the hard, brave thing even when we're scared. Jill also reveals how overprotecting our kids can accidentally undermine their resilience, and offers science-backed, practical strategies for developing everyday bravery. There's plenty here for parents, leaders, students and honestly anyone ready to step into something new or challenging. We even walk through a real-world scenario, breaking down how someone can approach a tough conversation with courage and grace, and what it means to build your own “brave tribe” of supporters. If you've ever wondered how to be braver, how to help others face their fears, or why it matters now more than ever, you'll love this conversation.

Send us a textWhat if the path to career success and personal fulfillment requires embracing fear rather than avoiding it? Jill Schulman, Marine Corps veteran and author of "The Bravery Effect," reveals a transformative understanding of bravery that challenges conventional wisdom.Forget everything you thought you knew about courage. Schulman defines bravery as "taking voluntary action in the presence of fear toward a worthwhile goal" - a skill anyone can develop with practice. Through compelling insights drawn from military experience and positive psychology research, she illustrates how workplace fears of rejection, failure, and uncertainty create a devastating compound effect when we consistently choose to step back rather than forward.The conversation delves into practical strategies for building your "bravery muscle," including visualization techniques that leverage the fear of regret and tools for navigating difficult conversations with authority figures. Schulman's POISE model (Purpose, Observed behavior, Impact, Seek understanding, Enact plan) provides a framework for speaking truth to power while minimizing potential negative consequences.Perhaps most surprisingly, Schulman reveals how true bravery involves vulnerability - admitting when you need help, actively seeking feedback, and creating what she calls a "brave tribe" around you. The Marine Corps phrase "embrace the suck" encapsulates her central message: discomfort isn't something to avoid but rather the essential ingredient for growth and achievement.Whether you're hesitant to share ideas in meetings, reluctant to pursue a promotion, or struggling to create a team environment where candor thrives, this episode offers evidence-based approaches to transform fear from an obstacle into a catalyst for meaningful change. What would your future self advise you to do with the opportunities before you today?To stay connected and continue the conversation, be sure to follow us on LinkedIn.

In this episode of Breakaway Wealth Podcast, Jim sits down with Jill Schulman—US Marine veteran and positive psychology expert—to break down the science of bravery and why action - not motivation - moves outcomes. They map a practical path to confront fear, build daily reps, and apply courage to business and money decisions. 3 Key Takeaways: Bravery reframed: not heroics, but voluntary action in the presence of fear toward a worthwhile goal; most modern fear is social (failure, rejection, embarrassment), amplified by a comfort-first culture. Action over fear: use graded exposure and “mastery experiences” (Bandura) to build self-efficacy; schedule the hard task early, track behaviors not outcomes, and let consistency—not motivation—carry the work. Environment and systems: build a “brave tribe” to leverage conformity effects; apply PERMA (Positive emotion, Engagement/flow, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment) to raise performance; treat early failures as required feedback on the way to results. Thanks to Jill for outlining a clear model for building bravery and putting it to work! If this episode moved you to act, take one small step today and track it.

Episode 334 features Mat Leffler-Schulman, a Baltimore-based Grammy-nominated mastering engineer. He works with artists across the country and around the world, including all of my music with The Hollow Truths. I've been meaning to have him on for a long time—not only to learn more about mastering in general, but also to talk about our new music. It was a fun, in-depth conversation about both Mat's life and work, as well as some valuable insights into the mastering process. If you need your music mastered, Mat is definitely the guy. Without turning this intro into too much of a testimonial, I can personally attest that he does excellent work and is great with communication—a key aspect of this business. You can find him on social media or via his website (linked). I'm also very excited to feature The Hollow Truths' latest song, released this week, called Chasin' a Dream (Acid in My Coffee). Thanks for listening and for supporting local artists. https://matlefflerschulman.com

Send us a textMost fundraisers ask: Who do I send this appeal to? But the better question is, What appeal do I send to this person?We all recognize people are different—yet fundraising relies on a one-size-fits-all approach. Traditional segmentation—internal labels, past giving, or vague attitudinal groupings—fails to capture what truly drives a donor to give.And it's not as simple as testing Issue A vs. Issue B to see which one "wins." That's still a one-size-fits-all approach in disguise.Donors don't give because of an issue or a program—they give because something captures their attention, aligns with how they see the world, and resonates with their core motivators. The missing piece in most appeals? A message that speaks directly to a donor's innate psychological drivers.This session will unlock the missing link: moving beyond segmentation to delivering the right message for the right person. It will benefit beginner and seasoned fundraisers alike.--⛰️ Don't miss out on the next BuildGood Summit!

The word “diva” comes from the world of opera, where divinely talented singers have enraptured audiences for centuries. But preternatural gifts often go hand in hand with bad behavior—as in the case of Patti LuPone, the blunt Broadway dame whose remarks about fellow-actresses in a recent New Yorker Profile quickly became a source of scandal. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and guest host Michael Schulman examine the figure of the diva, from Miss Piggy to Maria Callas, and consider whether our culture still rewards such personalities. “I don't think we'll ever stop being drawn to larger-than-life characters with messy, larger-than-life personal lives,” Schulman says. “There is a line that people can cross—but it's constantly shifting.” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“On ‘Succession,' Jeremy Strong Doesn't Get the Joke,” by Michael Schulman (The New Yorker)“Patti LuPone Is Done with Broadway—and Almost Everything Else,” by Michael Schulman (The New Yorker)“The Politics of the Oscar Race” (The New Yorker)“Evita” (1978)“Gypsy” (1959)“Company” (1970)“How Maria Callas Lost her Voice,” by Will Crutchfield (The New Yorker)“Liz & Dick” (2012)“The Muppets Take Manhattan” (1984)“The Problem With Ryan Murphy's Wannabe Divas,” by Logan Scherer (The Atlantic)“Aretha Franklin's American Soul,” by David Remnick (The New Yorker)“Feud: Bette and Joan” (2017)New episodes drop every Thursday.

About Marnie WillsFor years, I was the entrepreneur who outsourced anything remotely technical. As the founder of SportyMinis (an early years physical education business) and an health and fitness business called SportsFit, I built successful companies despite—not because of—technology. I was convinced that tech just wasn't my thing, and frankly, I was okay with that.Then February 2023 happened. On a recommendation, I reluctantly tried Jasper AI for some ad copy. What I expected was rubbish copy, super generic and cost an arm and a leg. Instead, it was completely different—cheap as chips and I actually loved going back and forth chatting with Jasper about what I wanted. It really was a moment of clarity. For the first time, I didn't need to be technical to leverage powerful technology. I was thriving with confidence and felt so productive.https://www.linkedin.com/in/marnie-wills-entrepreneur/https://businesswithaistrategist.com/---------------------------------About Miriam SchulmanMiriam Schulman | Artpreneur Coach | Creative Flow Catalyst | Spiritual TechnologistMiriam Schulman is a creative entrepreneur, best-selling author, and soulful business mentor whose work lives at the intersection of art, artificial intelligence, and authentic expression.

Early in her career, she struggled to hit her first six figures, battling the same limiting beliefs that hold many entrepreneurs back—believing she had to work harder to deserve success, that big money was only for "other people," and that she simply wasn't wired for exponential growth. But when she discovered Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and began shifting her beliefs, everything changed. She went from struggling to scaling, eventually creating $100,000 months and teaching others to do the same.Today, as the founder of Ursula Inc., a five-time bestselling author, and a sought-after speaker, she has helped thousands of business owners double or triple their revenue while working less. She combines her expertise in sales strategy and mindset transformation to help entrepreneurs collapse time, increase sales, and create financial freedom.https://www.linkedin.com/in/ursulaincorporatedhttps://www.ursulainc.co/------------------------------------------When It Worked Podcasthttps://getoffthedamnphone.com/podcast

Schulman's new book is The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity. She teaches Creative Writing (Nonfiction and Fiction) with an emphasis on manuscript development at Northwestern University. She is a novelist, playwright, screenwriter, nonfiction writer and AIDS historian.---TRANSCRIPT---SUPPORT OUR SHOWhttps://www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow---HTS ESSENTIALSSUPPORT Our Show on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/EndoftheworldshowPEEP us on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/endoftheworldpc/
Eric Newman and Kate Wolf speak with Sarah Schulman about her latest book, The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity. With a focus on practical politics, Schulman explores both how we imagine solidarity and what the work of solidarity requires. Rather than a horizontal movement, the book focuses on the ways achieving today's most pressing political goals—from Palestine's self-determination to immigration reform and protecting LBGTQ rights—requires working across various levels of individual privilege and power. With both historical and present day examples, Schulman presents a clear-eyed, long-term vision of a life in activism, laying out stumbling blocks and failures alongside meaningful progress, and the steps it takes to get there.
