Craig Mod is an artist, author, and photographer who has lived in Japan for 25 years, chronicling the country through thousands of miles of recent solo walks. We explore walking as inner cartography—a practice that transforms attention into meaning. We discuss Craig's journey from his best friend's murder in Connecticut to finding home in Tokyo, the ineffable Japanese concept of "yōyū," reconciling adoption trauma through movement, and how 300-mile walks without digital distraction became his path to healing. His story takes a stunning turn when these walks ultimately lead him back to meet his birth mother at 42. Craig transforms heavy into light. And this conversation reveals how. Enjoy!

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1059: Today we're talking about the strength of dealership valuations despite sluggish buy-sells, Waymo's exponential takeover of the robotaxi race, and why your old boss might be your next one.Show Notes with links:The Q1 2025 Haig Partners Report says that despite solid performance metrics, dealership buy-sells dropped to the lowest first-quarter level in a decade, reflecting uncertainty in a year shaped by economic and political headwinds.Only 68 rooftops were sold, as public groups largely sat out; a sharp contrast to recent high-activity periods.Public dealers averaged $1M in Q1 pre-tax profits, with trailing 12-months at $3.9M—nearly double pre-pandemic levels.Blue sky values held firm at $20.7M, down just 1% from Q4 2024 and still nearly double pre-2020 benchmarks.Tariff concerns, election-year volatility, and OEM pricing strategies have many sellers in a wait-and-see mode.“These are often short-term fluctuations in what is ultimately a long-term business,” the report notes.What started as a quiet experiment has exploded into a transportation revolution. Waymo's self-driving service is scaling at a staggering pace, reshaping rider habits and leaving competitors scrambling to catch up.The ride-hailing company passed 10 million cumulative rides, with 20 million projected by year's end. Weekly rides jumped from 10K in 2023 to over 250K by mid-2025.March alone saw a 27% spike in San Francisco usage—a major behavioral shift.Expansion continues in Phoenix, LA, SF, and Austin; plus, Waymo is mapping 10+ new cities including Tokyo.Tesla is set to launch its own robotaxi service, using a camera-only, AI-first approach—far cheaper but less tested than Waymo's sensor-heavy, safety-first model.“This isn't science fiction. It's not the future. It's happening now,” said Co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana.As economic uncertainty lingers, both workers and employers are turning to familiarity. The share of new hires who are former employees—aka boomerang workers—is climbing again, especially in tech and media.March data shows that 35% of hires were returning employees, particularly in the information sector.Employers value boomerangs for cultural fit, performance history, and quick onboarding.Job seekers face longer searches and more layoffs—making old employers more appealing.Experts say your exit matters—managers increasingly view resignations as a potential pause, not a goodbye.“You want to get the best bang for your buck, and often it's a returning employee,” said ADP Chief Economist Nela RichardsonJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

This one was a banger!! I sat down with a new boxing bestie, Olympic bronze medalist Caitlin Parker, and we got into all the good stuff. From her humble start as a shy kiddo in Taekwondo to breaking barriers in boxing and becoming the first Aussie woman to medal in the sport at the Olympics. Caity is real, hilarious, and totally open about the grind, the pressure, the heartbreak, and the highs that come with elite-level sport. She pulls no punches about making weight, bouncing back from Tokyo, fighting with a broken nose, and learning to actually enjoy the wins. There’s something powerful in the way Caity reflects on her journey without glossing over the tough stuff. Whether you’re a boxing fanatic or just someone chasing big goals, this chat will hit you right in the guts

7/8: The Light of Battle: Eisenhower, D-Day, and the Birth of the American Superpower by  Michel Paradis  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Light-Battle-Eisenhower-American-Superpower/dp/0358682371/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= On June 6, 1944, General Dwight Eisenhower addressed the thousands of American troops preparing to invade Normandy, exhorting them to embrace the “Great Crusade” they faced. Then, in a fleeting moment alone, he drafted a resignation letter in case the invasion failed. In The Light of Battle, Michel Paradis, acclaimed author of Last Mission to Tokyo, paints a vivid portrait of Dwight Eisenhower as he learns to navigate the crosscurrents of diplomacy, politics, strategy, family, and fame with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance. In a world of giants—Churchill, Roosevelt, De Gaulle, Marshall, MacArthur—it was a barefoot boy from Abilene, Kansas, who would master the art of power and become a modern-day George Washington. Drawing upon meticulous research and a voluminous body of newly discovered records, letters, diaries, and firsthand accounts from three continents, Paradis brings Eisenhower to life, as a complicated man who craved simplicity, a genial cipher whose smile was a lethal political weapon. With a page-turning pace and an eye for the overlooked, Paradis interweaves the grand arc of history with more human concerns, bringing readers into the private moments that led to Eisenhower's most pivotal decisions. By deftly integrating the personal and the political, he reveals how Eisenhower's rise both reflected and was integral to America's rise as a global superpower. An unflinching look at how character is forged, and leadership is learned, The Light of Battle breathes new life into the man who made “the leader of the free world” the mantle of the American presidency. 1944 OPERATION OVERLORD

3/8: The Light of Battle: Eisenhower, D-Day, and the Birth of the American Superpower by  Michel Paradis  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Light-Battle-Eisenhower-American-Superpower/dp/0358682371/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= On June 6, 1944, General Dwight Eisenhower addressed the thousands of American troops preparing to invade Normandy, exhorting them to embrace the “Great Crusade” they faced. Then, in a fleeting moment alone, he drafted a resignation letter in case the invasion failed. In The Light of Battle, Michel Paradis, acclaimed author of Last Mission to Tokyo, paints a vivid portrait of Dwight Eisenhower as he learns to navigate the crosscurrents of diplomacy, politics, strategy, family, and fame with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance. In a world of giants—Churchill, Roosevelt, De Gaulle, Marshall, MacArthur—it was a barefoot boy from Abilene, Kansas, who would master the art of power and become a modern-day George Washington. Drawing upon meticulous research and a voluminous body of newly discovered records, letters, diaries, and firsthand accounts from three continents, Paradis brings Eisenhower to life, as a complicated man who craved simplicity, a genial cipher whose smile was a lethal political weapon. With a page-turning pace and an eye for the overlooked, Paradis interweaves the grand arc of history with more human concerns, bringing readers into the private moments that led to Eisenhower's most pivotal decisions. By deftly integrating the personal and the political, he reveals how Eisenhower's rise both reflected and was integral to America's rise as a global superpower. An unflinching look at how character is forged, and leadership is learned, The Light of Battle breathes new life into the man who made “the leader of the free world” the mantle of the American presidency. 1945 STIMSON IKE
