"It makes perfect sense that it would happen today, because I just received this in the mail: a thousand business cards with this address and phone number." Here, replenish your fluids—this week we're talking about Branch Closing! We dedicate this episode to a classic from Season 3 that goes from Scranton to Stamford to David Wallace's house, all while Jan drives something like 400 miles. We dive into the characters' reactions and plans for the future after the branch closes, Dwight and Michael's stakeout, and the fax from the future from future Dwight Jim.  Then (47:20) we head to the Conference Room where we talk about the sneak peek of The Paper! With the debut just a week away we talk about our thoughts and expectations and discuss the news that the show will now be released all at once on Peacock!

There are only two words standing between you and the book you've always wanted to write, the business you want to start, and yes, even millions of dollars. Just two words. According to the University of Scranton, 92% of New Year's resolutions fail—and it's because nobody knows about these two powerful words. Here's the thing: nothing is successful on the first attempt. Nothing. Fear isn't afraid of your first try (we're a single-serve culture), but it's terrified you'll take that second step. In this episode, I'll break down the four main reasons people don't try again—from the hurt of the last attempt to mentally rehearsing failure until it becomes a tattoo instead of henna. Plus, I'll share how trying again got me through writing my 11th book after throwing away three half-finished drafts. Because here's what I need you to know: trying again isn't failure or embarrassing—it's the first gigantic leap toward mastery.In This Episode:Grab a Soundtrack Conversation Deck for that overthinker in your life today!Make sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!My new book All It Takes Is a Goal is available!

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comMore than half of all historical carbon emissions have occurred since 1989—after world leaders knew the risks. So why do we still believe we can innovate our way out of collapse?In this sobering and deeply philosophical conversation, Roy Scranton—former soldier, literary scholar, and author of Impasse: Climate Change and the Limits of Progress—joins Will to explore why our faith in progress may be our greatest liability. Drawing from his experience in Iraq and his study of civilizational decline, Scranton dismantles the optimistic narratives that shape American culture, from techno-utopianism to climate heroism.They discuss everything from American exceptionalism and carbon optimism to moral psychology, Jonathan Haidt's “elephant and rider,” and the ethical case for pessimism. Scranton argues that rather than trying to save the world, we should focus on how to live meaningfully in a collapsing one—with compassion, honesty, and courage.Whether you're a climate realist, a techno-optimist, or just anxious about the future, this episode will stretch your mind.

In this episode of The Popko Project Podcast, we explore the rise of The Electric City Surf Club, an experimental indie music collective that's redefining Scranton's local music scene. Founder Sean Flynn dives into how the band started, what drives their DIY creative philosophy, and how they’re building a community-first music movement right here in […]

In what climate pessimists define as our environmentally apocalyptic times, we've become the metaphorical frog in the boiling water. That, at least, is the bleak conclusion of Roy Scranton, the author of Impasse, a new book about climate change and the end of technological progress. For the deeply pessimistic Scranton, the planet is screwed. So the real question is how we can live ethically in these environmentally apocalyptic times. Drawing on his experience as a soldier in Iraq, where he learned to accept death as an everyday spiritual practice, Scranton argues we must abandon fantasies of technological salvation, focusing instead on local community work and the humility of practical good works. This way to the stove, ladies and gentlemen. Our future will be boiling. 1. We're the "Frog in Boiling Water" - Humans adapt so quickly to gradual environmental changes (like rising temperatures) that we normalize catastrophic shifts, making it nearly impossible to recognize existential threats until it's too late.2. Progress is a Dangerous Myth - Our faith that more technology and science will solve climate change is misguided. Energy transitions historically add new sources rather than replace old ones - we used more coal last year than ever before, despite renewable growth.3. Embrace "Ethical Pessimism" - Instead of clinging to hope for global solutions, we should accept that civilization as we know it may not survive and focus on how to live ethically within that reality.4. Think Local, Abandon Global - Rather than trying to "save the world," focus on your immediate community and relationships. Do practical good works where you can actually make a difference in people's daily lives.5. Learn to "Die" Spiritually - Drawing from his military experience in Iraq, Scranton advocates accepting mortality (personal and civilizational) as a daily practice to free yourself for meaningful action in the present moment, without attachment to future outcomes.The core message: Stop fantasizing about technological salvation and start practicing humble, local ethics in the face of inevitably catastrophic change.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

“Just keep doing the next right thing, even though it's hard.” This mantra has become a political north star for Scranton mayor and recurring How To Really Run A City guest (and sometimes host), Paige Cognetti. She knows that what drives a city forward is everyone doing their parts at all levels. “It's the colleges and universities,” former Mayor Michael Nutter interjects. “It's the corporate communities. It's the committee people. It's the block captains. Cities are living, breathing entities.” Cognetti and Nutter recently joined Citizen co-founder Larry Platt for a special live taping of the podcast at Philadelphia's OpportUNITY Summit hosted by United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. It was a rousing conversation that included a lot of teasing of Nutter by Cognetti, but also included some high-minded reminders that the future of cities depends on practical local government reformers. “What can all of us do to move the [political] needle back to sanity?” Platt asked. “Tell the stories that reflect your reality,” Cognetti said. “Vote,” Nutter immediately answered. “Put down the phone, go to the voting booth and do your thing.

“Just keep doing the next right thing, even though it's hard.” This mantra has become a political north star for Scranton mayor and recurring How To Really Run A City guest (and sometimes host), Paige Cognetti. She knows that what drives a city forward is everyone doing their parts at all levels. “It's the colleges and universities,” former Mayor Michael Nutter interjects. “It's the corporate communities. It's the committee people. It's the block captains. Cities are living, breathing entities.” Cognetti and Nutter recently joined Citizen co-founder Larry Platt for a special live taping of the podcast at Philadelphia's OpportUNITY Summit hosted by United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. It was a rousing conversation that included a lot of teasing of Nutter by Cognetti, but also included some high-minded reminders that the future of cities depends on practical local government reformers. “What can all of us do to move the [political] needle back to sanity?” Platt asked. “Tell the stories that reflect your reality,” Cognetti said. “Vote,” Nutter immediately answered. “Put down the phone, go to the voting booth and do your thing. Then you can get back to TikTok. Better yet, make a video about how you voted!” Join us for an uplifting live conversation about civic duty and the motivations of true city changemakers.  As cities go, so goes the nation!

I've said it many times and it's something I believe bears repeating. Regardless of memes or jokes about a place--whether Scranton, New Jersey or West Virginia--every place has its problems, but every place is still home to someone.You can often find me rolling my eyes when I hear people complain there's nothing to do in Scranton (or Northeast PA) and then I promptly rattle off some of my favorite places or list upcoming events to check out. My guest this week is someone who shares my love for the city of Scranton where she shows that passion through her civic involvement on boards of directors, stumping for votes and supporting nonprofits, events and good times throughout the region. Scranton resident Sarah Cruz is on the board of directors at the NEPA Youth Shelter and at the Scranton Housing Authority, working to help all area residents have access to safe, affordable housing with dignity. This week Sarah and I focus on housing but manage to cover a couple other topics as well. If you would like to follow up with Sarah, you can reach her at scruz@scrantonhousing.net. If you would like to stay informed with what's happening with housing in Scranton, you can attend Housing Authority board meetings monthly at the main building at 400 Adams Ave. in Scranton on the first Monday of each month at 5 p.m.
