Donald Trump and Zohran Mamdani are both proof of how the ability to capture attention is power. And the attention economy isn't reshaping just politics; it's also reshaping the actual economy: the crypto market, A.I. venture capital, and how people, especially Gen Z, are making career decisions. Kyla Scanlon has emerged as a leading theorist on the economics of attention and is herself a member of Gen Z. She is the author of the book “In This Economy?” and Kyla's Newsletter on Substack. I asked her on the show to walk us through her theory of the attention economy.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:“Gen Z and the End of Predictable Progress” by Kyla Scanlon“‘We Are the Most Rejected Generation'” by David Brooks“A Divided Gen Z Is Crying for Mercy” by Rachel Janfaza“The Price of Nails Since 1695” by Daniel E.

At a rally, President Trump declared that he now may suspending deportations for farmworkers and other migrant workers. Trump openly admitted this will anger the “radical right,” by which he likely meant Stephen Miller and others who want every last undocumented immigrant in this country removed—or else. Indeed, leading MAGA influencers sharply attacked the move: One declared that it will “break” the MAGA coalition. The other flatly demanded that Trump keep on deporting “grandmothers.” We think all this should be understood as a display of weakness: Trump badly wants the public to think he's considering relaxing his mass deportation regime precisely when Congress has given him tens of billions of additional dollars for it. We talked to journalist, historian, and podcaster Garrett Graff, who has a new piece on his Substack about what's coming. He explains why rapidly expansion of Trump's paramilitary force is so dangerous, how his effort to pseudo-moderate on deportations has exposed serious political vulnerabilities, and why he has no easy way out of them.

In this gripping episode, Michelle Glogovac sits down with acclaimed author Clémence Michallon to discuss her new psychological thriller, Our Last Resort. They dive into the art of writing crime fiction, how Clémence's journalism background shapes her storytelling, and the chilling appeal of cults, suspense, and isolated settings. Clémence offers a behind-the-scenes look at her creative process, the emotional depth required to build complex characters, and the unique challenges of writing a second novel. From the symbolic role of animals to the haunting backdrop of a desert hotel, this conversation unpacks the layers of what makes Our Last Resort a must-read. What We're Talking About Clémence Michallon is an author known for her thrillers. Her new novel, Our Last Resort, explores themes of family and crime. The book features a cult aspect that adds depth to the story. Researching cults was a significant part of her writing process. Cults often prey on people's good qualities and desires for belonging.

Her background in journalism informs her character development. Empathy is essential in both journalism and fiction writing. The sophomore novel presents unique challenges and opportunities for growth.

Today's episode is a little more personal. A reflection. A struggle.Because lately, I've been wondering: Is empathy under attack? And if so, how do we as leaders, parents, citizens—and humans—continue to lead with empathy in a world that sometimes seems to mock, punish, or politicize it?So today, I want to pull back the curtain and talk about what it's like to do this work, and why—despite it all—I continue to fight for empathy at work, in leadership, and our culture at large.Let's dive in. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:In a chaotic world, cruelty often gets mistaken for strength. Empathy is not about coddling and indulgence but about the courage to pause and listen, not to react.Three small but powerful steps to resist the tide of cruelty and amplify empathy instead: model it, name it, protect it."Empathy is not weak, naive, or political. It is what allows us to build trust, resolve conflict, and create workplaces where people—and performance—can thrive." - Maria RossEpisode References: FREE upcoming 2-day virtual leadership event with me!

In this episode of Econ 102, we're republishing a conversation between Noah Smith and Derek Thompson. They explore Derek's shift from The Atlantic to Substack and unpack the “abundance agenda” — a vision for revitalizing American politics through better housing, energy, and innovation policy. Their wide-ranging conversation touches on economic reform, trendspotting, and the evolving media landscape. – SPONSORS: NetSuite More than 42,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.

Art of Trend Spotting: Noah praises Derek's unique ability to identify major trends before others, noting he's "earlier to spot new and important trends than any other blogger or writer." Derek reveals his method involves paying attention to that inner voice asking "what the fuck is that?" about everyday observations - essentially being like "observational humor but not necessarily humorous." Abundance Agenda's Impact: The conversation reveals how the abundance movement has gained significant traction, with Derek noting that partnering with Ezra Klein was strategic since Klein has unique influence within Democratic circles. They discuss "Ezra Klein Derangement Syndrome" - how Klein's prominence makes him both influential and a target. Need to attack MAGA degrowth ideology: Abundance advocates should more aggressively counter Trump's "scarcity mindset" that responds to every shortage with deprivation rather than increased production. Federal housing incentives: Race-to-the-top style funding to reward localities for pro-housing policies.
Rick Steves spent the summer after high school backpacking through Europe on two dollars a day—sleeping on the floor, sneaking into museums, and subsisting on a diet of bread and jam. When he came home, he found people were hungry for tips on how to visit Europe on the cheap, so he began teaching classes, and was soon hawking a self-published guidebook out of his car. Eventually, he started leading minibus tours and hosting a travel show on Public TV, steadily growing his business even though he was giving away most of his content. His no-frills approach to travel has persisted as a powerful brand, with 70 guidebooks, an ever-popular travel show, and—in 2024—an annual revenue of $120 million.This episode was produced by Rachel Faulkner-White, with music by Ramtin Arablouei.Edited by Neva Grant.You can follow HIBT on Twitter & Instagram, and email us at hibt@id.wondery.com.

Garlin Gilchrist II, Michigan's Lieutenant Governor and gubernatorial candidate, shares how his unique background as a software engineer and tech entrepreneur shapes his vision for the state's future. This fascinating conversation reveals how engineering principles can transform governance and policy-making."Being an engineer, you learn to be a problem solver," Gilchrist explains, drawing parallels between fixing broken systems and addressing Michigan's challenges. With experience at Microsoft and multiple tech startups before entering politics, he brings a refreshingly analytical approach to public service rarely found among elected officials.Gilchrist outlines his major accomplishments, including a landmark $250 million investment in affordable housing and establishing 40 mental health clinics statewide through the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Program. His creation of Michigan's automatic criminal record expungement program—the Clean Slate Program—has helped over 330,000 people gain access to jobs, housing, and education opportunities previously denied them because of past mistakes.The conversation delves into Michigan's unique assets: unparalleled engineering talent, abundant natural resources (including 21% of the world's fresh water), and the nation's second most diverse agricultural economy. Gilchrist articulates how these advantages position Michigan for leadership in emerging sectors like clean energy, agricultural technology, and creative industries—if the right leadership is in place.Drawing from personal experience leaving Michigan after college for better opportunities elsewhere, Gilchrist speaks passionately about creating an environment where young talent stays and thrives. "I want everyone to feel, know and experience Michigan being the best place to have an idea," he shares, outlining initiatives like the Michigan Innovation Fund that support local entrepreneurs.Ready to learn more about Gilchrist's vision for Michigan?

Brandon Stickney remembers booze being everywhere growing up in Lockport, New York and he definitely remembers getting a taste for it growing up. Over time, he developed bipolar disorder and his substance use disorder added cocaine and opioids as favorite drugs. Brandon's love of getting high would cost him his marriage, his successful career as a journalist and author, and his freedom, after getting busted selling drugs and being sentenced to two years in prison. He tells us about what it's like to live with mental health issues behind bars, how both prescription drugs and illicit narcotics work there, and he tells the stories of people who helped him get through. Brandon's memoir of the experience is The Five People You Meet In Prison. Brandon lives in Florida now with his father and is working hard on his sobriety.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

On this episode, taken from The Ben & Marc Show, a16z co-founders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz dive deep into the unfiltered story behind the founding of Andreessen Horowitz—and how they set out to reinvent venture capital itself. For the first time, Marc and Ben walk through the origins, strategy, and philosophy behind building a world-class venture capital firm designed for the future—not just the next fund. They reveal how they broke industry norms with a bold brand, a full-stack support model, and a long-term commitment to backing exceptional builders—anchored in the radical idea that founders deserved real support, not just checks. Joining them to guide the conversation is Erik Torenberg—Andreessen Horowitz's newest General Partner—who makes his Ben & Marc Show moderating debut. Erik is a technology entrepreneur, investor, and founder of the media company Turpentine.Together, they explore: - Why traditional VC needed reinvention - How a16z scaled with a platform model, not a partner model - The "barbell strategy" reshaping venture capital today - Why venture remains a human craft, even in the age of AI Timecodes: 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - Why Traditional Venture Capital Was Broken 03:05 - Marc on Discovering VC and Its Legends 05:12 - Surviving the Dot-Com Crash and Angel Investing Collapse 07:05 - Helping Founders Raise Venture / Fix VC Relationships 08:47 - The a16z Strategy: Building a Support Platform 12:07 - First Fund Wins: Skype, Instagram, Slack, Okta 12:50 - Building a 'World-Dominating Monster' 15:00 - The Sushi Boat VC Problem 18:07 - Treating LPs Differently 21:40 - Marc and Ben's Working Relationship 23:30 - Updating a16z's Media Strategy for the Social Era 27:20 - History of the Decentralized Media Environment30:36 - Decline of Corporate Brands and Going Direct 36:06 - Naming the Firm 40:13 - Building the a16z 'Cinematic Universe' of Talent 42:16 - Creating a Federated Model 51:02 - Deciding to Market the Firm 53:26 - Recruiting General Partners 56:33 - Evolution to Full-Stack Companies 01:03:53 - The Barbell Theory: The Death of Mid-Sized VCs01:11:50 - Why Venture Capital Should Stay Overfunded 01:19:50 - When a16z Knew It Could Be Top Tier 01:25:58 - Venture Capital is an Art, Not a ScienceResources:Marc on X: https://twitter.com/pmarca Marc's Substack: https://pmarca.substack.com/Ben on X: https://twitter.com/bhorowitz Erik on X: https://x.com/eriktorenberg Erik's Substack: https://eriktorenberg.substack.com/

Full Plate: Ditch diet culture, respect your body, and set boundaries.
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit abbieattwoodwellness.substack.comIn this bonus episode, I'm answering a listener question that so many of us have carried, even quietly:Why does seeing a photo of myself — especially in a group — make me want to shrink my body, even though I know better?And so, this episode offers both understanding and tools. A soft landing, and also a gentle nudge toward reflection and repair.Here's a little of what we explore:* Why photos can feel like a trap. We'll talk about how images — especially unexpected ones — can serve as a form of body checking, pulling us into old loops of control and criticism.* The neuroscience of comparison. Social comparison isn't a personal flaw — it's a human tendency shaped by culture and the body hierarchies that keep us stuck in the cycle.* Body grief and the “I thought I was past this” spiral. We'll name the grief that can rise up, especially if we feel like we should be immune to body shame by now. And we'll talk through language and compassion for being in that in-between space.* What to do when you hate a photo of yourself. Because yes—there are practices you can lean on that are rooted in body neutrality, values, and self-compassion. This isn't about pretending you love every photo. It's about creating space between your image and your worth.Whether you've recently been tagged in a photo that made your stomach drop, or you've been here a hundred times before — this episode is for you.Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?

If you've ever wondered, “Am I doing enough?” at work, in your relationships, as a parent, or just as a person, you're not alone. So many of my clients feel like they have to prove their value through performance, productivity, or being “good enough” for someone to love or respect them. Today we'll explore the difference between self-worth and self-esteem, the signs that your sense of worth has become transactional, and five practical ways to break this pattern and start living from a place of grounded, unconditional self-worth. Today you'll learn why love should never be a job interview.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/https://abbymedcalf.com/you-dont-have-to-earn-it-breaking-free-from-transactional-self-worth Take the Self-Worth Assessment: Are You Living Transactionally?: https://abbymedcalf.com/self-worth-assessment Learn how to create and hold healthy, loving boundaries with my book Boundaries Made Easy: Your Roadmap to Connection, Ease and Joy https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries or The Workbook: Boundaries Made Easier https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries-workbook Want to feel happier and more connected in your relationship?

Send us a textThis show reflects on what it means to see the future too clearly and the cost of carrying that vision alone.A few weeks ago, America burned on the monitor behind me. Cameras rolled in Santa Monica. Steve Drobny, founder of Clocktower Group, advisor in global hedge funds, told me to sit straight, but I didn't care. We discussed the future and America's possibly undead economy.The previous night, a girl at a Venice Beach bar asked where I'm from. “The future,” I replied. She was 30, blond, beautiful blue eyes, an image I haven't shaken off. When you return from the future, you're never whole. Details are too sharp, too strange. People blink. They don't want to hear it. That's why I wear goggles. That's why they call me unhinged.Knowing what's next doesn't give control. It gives doubt. It exiles you from Main Street.I vibed on John Buchan's The Gap in the Curtain. A country house, a strange German professor, a handful of guests glimpsing a year ahead. One sees a financial headline. Distant words that unravel everything. Once you've seen what's coming, you carry it like a tumor made of light.I drew a line from that story to Saint Peter in Gethsemane. His denial wasn't betrayal; it was fear dressed as certainty. The same fear I see in markets, politics, people I've loved. We say "impossible" when scared. But the future doesn't knock. It slides in through the back door. Think of me as The Back Door Man.That's the curse, not that no one believes you, but that eventually, you stop believing yourself.Our conversation shifted between memories: Blanc Bleu, my house in St. Barts, Bitcoin, bond markets, old debates with giants like Niall Ferguson. Moments I stood and said what no one wanted to hear.Being early feels like being wrong until the chart catches up.The Curse of Knowing isn't about money, it's about myth. Trading safety for clarity. Leaving comfort to speak truths no one's ready for. It's about friends reunited, because ultimately, the only constants are those you love(d).HughSupport the show⬇️ Subscribe on Patreon or Substack for full episodes ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/HughHendryhttps://hughhendry.substack.comhttps://www.instagram.com/hughhendryofficialhttps://blancbleustbarts.comhttps://www.instagram.com/blancbleuofficial⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a five star review and comment on Apple Podcasts!

The future of work is changing, and we can't afford to have our leaders evolve backward by sticking to outdated leadership styles. It's high time for a major upgrade because this new era of work won't wait for you to catch up. In this three-part episode, we explore what it takes to thrive at the highest levels of leadership across three urgent dimensions: executive readiness, AI fluency, and hybrid work strategy. We begin with Mark Thompson, world's #1 CEO coach and author of CEO Ready, who shares what it really takes to step into the top seat: mastering leadership languages, building trust with your boss, and aligning ambition with the real demands of executive life. Then we dive into the age of AI with Dr. Michael Chui, Senior Fellow at McKinsey and QuantumBlack AI, who explains how agentic AI is reshaping leadership itself—from decision-making and team structure to the rising need for leaders who can manage machines as skillfully as people. Finally, we turn to the workplace of the future with Stanford Professor Dr. Nicholas Bloom, the world's top expert on remote work, who debunks common myths, lays out why hybrid work is the sweet spot, and reveals how AI might accelerate the decline of fully remote roles. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Financial freedom isn't just a dream—it's a reality for those who embrace smart investing strategies, and Dr. Christopher Loo is living proof. In this episode of the Freedom Point Podcast, Dr. Loo shares how he reached early retirement by age 38, using a mix of real estate investing, stock investing-trading, multiple streams of income, and strategic risk management.We explore how he built passive income through single-family rental properties, especially during the 2008 financial crisis investing window. This episode is especially valuable for those interested in investing for physicians, as Dr. Loo explains how high-income professionals can create a realistic plan to escape the time-for-money trap.If you're searching for answers on how to break free from a demanding career, create passive income, or understand the mindset needed for early retirement, Dr. Loo's journey will resonate deeply. His story isn't just inspiration—it's a guidebook to aligning your investing strategy with your goals.
Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!Udo Erasmus has been called the "father of fats", as he was educating on it long before the keto diet came about. He is the founder of Udo's Choice award-winning supplements and is the author of the book Fats That Heal Fats that Kill, which has sold over 250,000 copies.Discover a paradigm-shifting approach to wellness that goes beyond diets and exercise routines with renowned nutrition expert and philosopher Udo Erasmus. Drawing from his extraordinary life journey—from war refugee to biochemist to wellness pioneer—Erasmus shares profound insights into what truly constitutes optimal health.At the heart of this transformative conversation lies a simple yet revolutionary idea: the root cause of our discontent isn't external circumstances but our disconnection from our inner essence. Erasmus explains how our natural process of focusing outward to understand the world leads us to lose touch with the perfect peace and unconditional love that forms our core nature. This disconnection creates what he calls "heartache"—not caused by trauma, but by forgetting our way home to ourselves.With remarkable clarity, Erasmus guides us through his eight-step process for complete wellness, addressing everything from internal awareness to physical health to our relationship with nature. He describes life itself as solar energy—sunlight stored in molecular bonds, released in our cells as the unconditional love that powers every function in our bodies. When we reconnect with this energy, we naturally feel fulfilled and shift from self-centered striving to service-oriented living.Most powerfully, Erasmus offers practical guidance for bringing our focus back inside through simple stillness practices. He challenges the notion that more doing is the answer to our problems, suggesting instead that deliberate time for being—connecting with our inner essence—transforms every aspect of our lives, from health choices to relationships to our impact on the environment.Whether you're seeking better physical health, emotional balance, or deeper meaning, this conversation offers a roadmap to wellness that begins not with changing what's outside, but with remembering what's already within.Support the showPlease rate & review my podcast with a few kind words on Apple or Spotify.

The Prayers of the People are a staple in the Episcopalian service, but they're also reminiscent of a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book, with forms and collects abounding. We're here to discuss the many forms that intercessory prayer can take and why it matters to pray in unison for our world and for each other. We break down the structure of the prayers, discuss why we pray for government officials, share our personal favorite prayers, and entertain a riveting sidebar discussion on “intinction”.
