In anticipation of Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg’s two most beloved alien films face off in the inaugural Filmspotting Movie Death Match. Representing Close Encounters of the Third Kind is Dr. Margaret A. Weitekamp, Chair of Space History at the National Air and Space Museum. Making the case for E.T. the Extra‑Terrestrial is longtime critic and author Jen Chaney. Host Chris Klimek presides. Which film better captures Spielberg’s vision of alien contact — and his ideas about the nuclear family? Vote at moviedeathmatch.com. Movie Death Match is a new Filmspotting podcast that determines which one of a pair of linked movies — each championed by a passionate and highly credentialed advocate — shall be preserved in perpetuity, and which one shall be lost to history. Through opening statements, formal debate rounds, and closing arguments, a single cinematic judge renders an irreversible verdict. One movie survives. One is erased. Listeners may disagree — but there are no appeals.

Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- Joe Liemandt quietly built one of the most successful software empires you've never heard of—then reappeared with a $1 billion bet that AI can make kids learn ten times faster and love school more than vacation. At Alpha School, students spend just two hours a day on AI‑driven academics, consistently score in the top 1% on standardized tests, and use the rest of their time to build real‑world life skills: leadership, entrepreneurship, teamwork, and projects they actually care about. There are no lectures, no moving on without mastery, and a very different role for “teachers”—now called guides. Liemandt is the principal of Alpha School and the founder of Trilogy Software and ESW Capital. He dropped out of Stanford to build Trilogy, made the cover of Forbes twice before turning thirty, became the youngest member of the Forbes 400, then vanished from public life for twenty‑five years while quietly becoming one of the most prolific acquirers of software businesses in the world. Now he's using everything he learned about systems, incentives, and scale to rebuild K–12 from first principles around mastery, motivation, and AI. In this conversation, we cover Joe's full arc, from sleeping on the floor at Trilogy and being mentored by Jack Welch to deciding that “kids must love school more than vacation” would be a non‑negotiable design principle for Alpha. He explains how the Timeback platform works under the hood, why he's comfortable streaming student screens to AI in real time, and how he plans to scale this model to a billion kids. You'll learn: why he thinks the traditional classroom was designed for a narrow slice of students and wastes everyone else's time, what changes when kids master a year of material in roughly 20–22 hours, how guides coach motivation instead of delivering lectures, and the simple rules he uses to make high‑stakes decisions about people, product, and strategy. ------ Timestamps: (00:00) What's Broken in Today's Education System (07:01) What Makes Alpha School Different (11:01) Real Results: 2 Hours of AI, Top 1% Scores (16:55) Who Gets In (23:20) The Everyday Classroom Problems Alpha Is Fixing (26:40) Redefining Mastery: No Moving On Until You “Get It” (35:37) Can You Actually Change a System This Big?

If you've ever felt like healthcare "listens" to patients the way a cat listens to a vacuum… this episode is for you. Wes Michael (Rare Patient Voice) breaks down what it really takes to build a community where patients feel safe, respected, and actually heard and how that trust turns into better research, better decisions, and better outcomes in rare disease. Skot and Wes talk about the company's evolution, why patient time should be compensated, how surveys and interviews turn lived experience into usable insight, and the difference between "collecting data" and "earning truth." You'll also hear why caregivers matter, what advocacy looks like in practice, and how meaningful work scales when you protect the human part of the process.

In Episode 182 of Ill Literacy, Tim Benson talks with Jonathan W. White, co-editor of Measuring the Man: The Writings of Frederick Douglass on Abraham Lincoln.Heartland's Tim Benson is joined once again by Jonathan W. White, Professor of American Studies at Christopher Newport University, to discuss his latest book, co-edited with Lucas E. Morel, Measuring the Man: The Writings of Frederick Douglass on Abraham Lincoln. They chat about how White discovered a cache of unknown, insightful letters in England by Douglass on Lincoln, the distrust and vitriol Douglass directed at Lincoln as he moved slowly and methodically toward emancipation, how three personal interactions between the two led to powerful feelings of friendship and mutual admiration, and how, after Lincoln's assassination, Douglass expressed greater appreciation for Lincoln's statesmanship during the Civil War and praised him as a model for postwar America.

Jim Cook, Netflix co-founder, former CFO of Mozilla, early employee at Inuit, executive coach, and author of Substack Cook's Playbooks, returns to the podcast for the third time. In this episode, he breaks down the evolution of the role of CFOs from traditional scorekeepers to more strategic and operator roles, before looking ahead at what's to come. This episode is packed full of helpful advice about transparency, building trust, authenticity in your executive role, and why “fake it till you make it” is actually bad advice. Looking at the future of the CFO role, Jim explains why he believes there will be no need for both COO and CFO roles in an organization, the biggest mistake a CFO can make at this time, and how CFOs should be adapting in order to succeed in this next era.—SPONSORS:Planful is a financial performance management platform designed to streamline financial tasks for businesses.

We are continuing our series of life optimization episodes today with the dynamic Laura Vanderkam, time management expert and author of multiple books on the topic, including three books we're discussing in today's episode: her book 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think, which came out in 2010; Off the Clock: Feel Less Busy While Getting More Done, which came out in 2014; and I Know How She Does It: How Successful Women Make the Most of Their Time, which came out in 2015. Laura has also written What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast: A Short Guide to Making Over Your Mornings — and Life, which came out in 2012; All the Money in the World: What the Happiest People Know About Getting and Spending, which was released in 2013; The New Corner Office: How the Most Successful People Work from Home, which came out in 2020; and 2022's Tranquility by Tuesday: 9 Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What Matters. And that's still not all of her books! A graduate of Princeton, Laura and her husband share five children — so time management is a must! — and she became interested in time management while working as a journalist, after interviewing accomplished people juggling busy schedules. In October 2016, she gave a TED talk called “How to Gain Control of Your Free Time,” which has been viewed more than 12 million times, and she has written everywhere from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Fortune, and more. She is also the host of the “Before Breakfast” podcast and the co-host of the “Best of Both Worlds” podcast with Sarah Hart-Unger. With a life as busy as Laura's, she has to know how to manage her time! Today we chat about Laura's philosophy that looking at your life in 168 hour blocks — so, a week — is more preferable than looking at it in 24 hour blocks; the power of time tracking; the best piece of time management advice she's ever received; how outsourcing is a time management hack; her thoughts on multitasking; and so much more. There's not a person among us who has an extra stockpile of hours in their day or week — no, not even Beyonce! — and Laura's here to teach us how to make the most of our time.

Craig Rodney talks with Jason Barnard about how to escape survival mode in your agency. Craig Rodney is a marketing agency coach with a penchant for profit and exit coaching. In 2002, at the tender age of 26, Craig founded a technology-focused PR agency that grew into Cerebra, Africa's largest social media marketing agency. in 2013, Craig and his business partner sold Cerebra to WPP, and at the end of 2016, Craig exited. After a year of mental and emotional recovery, Craig was drawn back into the agency world when he was approached by a small agency asking for his help. Since then, Craig has assisted more than 100 agencies around the world, many with their own exits. In 2022, Craig launched his Agency to Exit coaching program to complement his private agency coaching. The 10-week program aims to help agency owners create immense value for their business before their exit and makes agency owners want to keep their business. Agencies in survival mode face the challenge of balancing the urgency to generate revenue with the need to value their time appropriately. Undercharging services is a common trap that can hinder growth, as it can lead to undervaluing the agency's expertise and capabilities. To break out of this vicious cycle, it is necessary to delegate strategically and set prices that reflect true value. These are crucial steps to winning clients at a corporate level and achieving long-term success. In this episode, Craig Rodney discusses strategies for escaping survival mode in an agency. Craig takes an in-depth look at the importance of prioritizing tasks based on their criticality and whether they are essential for the agency owner to perform. He shares his approach to managing responsibilities using a "cascading waterfall analogy". The episode also discusses the concept of being "high functioning lazy", and how delegating tasks and valuing time over money can be of great benefit to an organization. As always, the show ends with passing the baton… Craig passes the virtual baton to next week's wonderful guest, Deanna Shimota.

After a year of mental and emotional recovery, Craig was drawn back into the agency world when he was approached by a small agency asking for his help. Since then, Craig has assisted more than 100 agencies around the world, many with their own exits. In 2022, Craig launched his Agency to Exit coaching program to complement his private agency coaching. The 10-week program aims to help agency owners create immense value for their business before their exit and makes agency owners want to keep their business. Agencies in survival mode face the challenge of balancing the urgency to generate revenue with the need to value their time appropriately. Undercharging services is a common trap that can hinder growth, as it can lead to undervaluing the agency's expertise and capabilities. To break out of this vicious cycle, it is necessary to delegate strategically and set prices that reflect true value. These are crucial steps to winning clients at a corporate level and achieving long-term success. In this episode, Craig Rodney discusses strategies for escaping survival mode in an agency. Craig takes an in-depth look at the importance of prioritizing tasks based on their criticality and whether they are essential for the agency owner to perform. He shares his approach to managing responsibilities using a "cascading waterfall analogy". The episode also discusses the concept of being "high functioning lazy", and how delegating tasks and valuing time over money can be of great benefit to an organization. As always, the show ends with passing the baton… Craig passes the virtual baton to next week's wonderful guest, Deanna Shimota.

This episode references Generational Theory and the book The Fourth Turning is Here by Neil Howe.Hey everyone, CNote here, and guess what? We're diving deep into the digital rabbit hole in this week's episode of the Happy Chemicals podcast, where we're poking the bear—or should I say, the honey badger? That's right, we're talking about Generation Alpha: the newest crew on the block, known for their assertiveness, digital savvy, and a surprising knack for being, well, kinda judgy.A Little Too Honest or Just Ahead of Their Time?So here's the deal: Our Gen Alpha kiddos are growing up in a world far different from the one we knew. They're swiping on iPads before they can walk, consuming content at a pace we can hardly keep up with, and yes, they've got opinions. Lots of them. About us, about technology, about the world at large. And let's just say, they're not holding back.But why does it seem like these pint-sized pundits are ready to throw shade like it's going out of style? Are they just mimicking what they see online, or is there something deeper at play here? That's the big question we're tackling in this episode.Honey Badgers Don't Care... Or Do They?Drawing from the wisdom of generational gurus and the eye-opening insights of Neil Howe's "The Fourth Turning is Here," we're exploring the roots of Gen Alpha's boldness. Is their judgmental streak a product of their environment, or is it just a new phase of the generational cycle? Howe's theory suggests we're witnessing more than just sass; we're seeing the early signs of a major societal shift.Digital Natives or Digital Dictators?As Millennials and Gen X parents, we're navigating uncharted territory. We're the first to raise kids who might just be as tech-savvy as they are headstrong. But here's the twist: Could our own parenting styles—yep, those well-meaning negotiations and our push for digital literacy—be shaping this generation's outspoken nature?Let's Get Philosophical (But Keep It Light)We're not here to lecture; we're here to learn, laugh, and maybe unravel the mysteries of raising the first generation that can Google their way out of a homework jam. This episode is packed with stories, theories, and a healthy dose of curiosity about what makes Gen Alpha tick.Join the ConversationThis isn't just about figuring out why Gen Alpha might be calling us out on our outdated memes; it's about understanding the heart of what drives them. And who knows? Maybe we'll discover a bit about ourselves and our place in this generational tapestry along the way.So plug in, tune out the world, and join us for a ride through the complexities of modern parenting, generational dynamics, and the age-old tradition of kids thinking their parents just don't get it. Spoiler: They might be onto something.Ready to dive deeper into the sass, wisdom, and digital prowess of Gen Alpha? This episode is for anyone curious about the intersection of technology, parenting, and generational theory, all served up with a side of humor and relatability. Let's explore together why the youngest generation might just be our most fascinating yet. Get full access to DOPEamine by Christian Rivera at dopeamine.substack.com/subscribe

How to Split a Toaster: A divorce podcast about saving your relationships
Seth is still away so we're going to be inviting various people from NLG Family Law to sit in with Pete and take on some other questions about divorce. In today's episode, attorney Sterling Lovelady joins Pete to talk about dealing with a problematic ex. The first subject they tackle is the challenging decision about whether to leave your alcoholic spouse or not when they're in a time of need. Should you feel responsible? How do you navigate through those feelings? The second topic they tackle focuses on situations where you might be tied into other legal proceedings with the person you're trying to divorce. Maybe it's a situation with the IRS and you jointly owe back taxes. Or perhaps you owned a business together and it's dealing with a lawsuit. How do you handle that?The third topic is a tough one, and luckily one that's infrequent. Still, it does happen. What do you do if your soon-to-be ex doesn't want custody of the kids? How do you handle it? It's a tough situation made all the more difficult because of the kids whose lives will be affected.We talk through a listener question which asks both about some legal term clarification involving piercing the attorney-client privilege as well as about challenging venue for your case. We also take some time to learn more about Sterling and what he does for fun.

Our guest today approaches the topic from research and personal experience and dives into how we can think more strategically about our time and aspire to build resilient schedules, rather than perfect ones.

The biggest hit of 1969, bubblegum pop song “Sugar, Sugar” was released on 24th May. The songwriters, Jeff Barry and Andy Kim, had a strong pedigree in penning 60s anthems. But the band itself was fictional - simply studio musicians providing a soundtrack to the Saturday morning TV cartoon ‘The Archie Show', inspired by the Archie Comics. The brainchild of promoter Don Kirshner, creator of the Monkees, the concept of establishing a band based on cartoon characters meant he could better control his performers. But it did present problems when they were called upon to perform live! In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider why this classic earworm is so naggingly addictive; explain why DJs were initially loathe to play it; and uncover The Archies' more ‘adult' follow-on album… Further Reading: ‘The Surprising Origins of the Archies' 'Sugar Sugar'' (CBR, 2018): https://www.cbr.com/archies-sugar-sugar-origins/ ‘Were the Archies Decades Ahead of Their Time?'

My guest today is author, productivity guru, and mom of 5, Laura Vanderkam. Laura is the author of several time management and productivity books, including the one we are discussing today, Tranquility by Tuesday: 9 Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What Matters. She is also the host of the Before Breakfast podcast and the co-host, with Sarah Hart-Unger, of the Best of Both Worlds podcast. I've long been a fan of Laura's books, and so I was excited to talk with her about Tranquility By Tuesday, and honestly, since reading it, I've started incorporating a few of her strategies into my world as I try to be more mindful and aware of how I spend my time. The results have been pretty great. That's why I wanted to share Laura's work with my community because I know so many of you are dealing with overwhelm and burnout. And my hope is that you'll take away one or two nuggets that you can play with in your daily life to move the needle closer to tranquility.During our conversation, Laura shared her definition of tranquility, the common myths that get in the way of building more peace in our lives, and why it's so important for families to have adventures together. She also shared multiple strategies that I promise are easy enough to implement. And again, even though they might seem like small shifts, they can have a big impact in your world.About Laura VanderkamLaura is the author of several time management and productivity books, including the forthcoming Tranquility by Tuesday: 9 Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What Matters.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.
Welcome back Reel Friends! Last week, Alex and Walker drew the category of Movies Ahead of Their Time. In one of our earlier episodes, the duo had chosen Psycho for this category. This time around, they chose another classic that's sure to turn a few heads. Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film A Clockwork Orange seemed to be the logical choice, and gave the boys a lot to talk about. "In the future, a sadistic gang leader is imprisoned and volunteers for a conduct-aversion experiment, but it doesn't go as planned." Want to know more?
