The Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, recently carried out a massive layoff that eliminated more than a third of its staff. In this episode of Unsolicited Advice, Anne and Frances dive deeper into the underlying issues affecting the paper and the journalism industry at large, arguing that Bezos should sell the company to a team of can-do entrepreneurs who are willing to truly listen to the data, take big swings, and rebuild the paper's reputation at a time when great journalism is more important than ever.

Bookshelf overwhelm is a common concern around here, so we know today's conversation will resonate with many readers. Our guest today is Holly Dyer, whose name might be familiar if you're a member of our book club or Patreon communities, because Holly is an active member of both. Holly's a mom and classical musician from Massachusetts, and she's no stranger to a good book. Lately, though, Holly has been feeling stressed out about all the books she could be reading. This year, she'd like to refocus her reading time in order to read fewer books, spend more time with those titles, and both explore longer books and devote time to rereading books she's loved before. Holly is excited about her 2026 goals, and Anne is excited to hear more and help her in any way she can. They'll explore Holly's hope to better vet the titles she's interested in reading before actually deciding to read them. She'd also appreciate talking through how she might pare down all her ideas for her reading goals and projects. Anne has ideas, and we'd love to hear yours, too: please leave a comment by visiting our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/515, where you'll also find the list of titles discussed today. It's been a great season in the Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club: lately, we've been reading Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers, a title that's shown up here on the podcast, both as a recommendation and a past guest favorite, because Jesse Q. Sutanto is joining us for our February author talk. In addition to monthly author chats like this one, we host a variety of events to deepen your reading life and connect with your fellow readers, like our Reader's Day which just took place on February 7th. Our members also lead the way in activities like our community picks, titles selected by our members for a smaller group to read together. We often describe book club as a buffet. There's so much to offer. Come on over and check it out at modernmrsdarcy.com/club. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is an episode for people grappling with how to manage and how to embrace AI. Good managers in the future will seamlessly balance being human, creative, fallible, empathetic and visionary with tools, systems and services which automate all that isn't differentiated nor distinct. Managers and people who refuse to adapt and evolve will be extinct in a workplace soon to be fueled by agents (and not the good looking Hollywood kind).Good managers use AI to buy time and insight. Bad ones either ignore it or dump garbage prompts into it and call that progress.The myth of management is that more people equals more power. The reality that managing people is hard, bureaucratic, and often inefficient. The future of good leadership looks like fewer people doing better work, supported by better tools.This is WORK.

Ashley Nichole and Taryne Renee have an advice show where they talk about themselves almost nonstop. When they're not telling tales of complaining to a manager about a haunted hotel room, they're dishing out some of the worst advice possible. Vinnie Paulino joins the show to point out how fat and gross Taryne has become. Ray DeVito's guest, Hope Gutierrez, seems to be completely zooted out of her mind. Frenchie Hana eats Pinkbox donuts and her rating system is fundamentally flawed. Stuttering John had Adam Busch on the show, it didn't go well for John, and so he came back the next day and tried to rewrite history. We play John's spin and show the receipts. We finish up with Internet News with Jenny Jingles and your voicemails.

After another stellar season, the RHOSLC finale has finally arrived with an all out intervention for the one, the only Meredith Marks. The group, with the exception of Barlow, finally seem united, but has this take down season of Meredith really worked the way everyone, including Bravo production, has hoped? In other news, the love fest between Melissa and Teresa continues and, although she thinks she has taken baby steps forward, Margaret has made one fatal mistake in hoping to secure her RHONJ return, should the show ever actually come back. Season 20 of RHOC gets delayed. Dolores criticizes more housewives with her newfound, better late than never, voice. Last, but not least, Lisa Rinna makes moves to become the next Kris Jenner. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hi! Ever felt like you're on a Disney ride through every big-company headache imaginable? Think lawyers, bankers, finance goons, stale conference rooms, staid conversations and the creeping sense that the machine is running you, not the other way around.Big companies exist for good reason. They build real things - consistently. They deliver at scale. But they also can suffocate the people who want to tinker, experiment, break stuff, and dream. The renegades. The builders. The ones who get hives at the prospect of OKRs, KPIs and strategery. On this episode of Unsolicited Advice, we get into what it actually takes to keep creativity alive when the machine takes over. How small groups can save big companies. How to protect the spark from the process. How to build something real without getting crushed by the weight of everyone else's need for control, accuracy and uniformity. If you've ever felt yourself wither in a big org or wondered why your best ideas show up in small rooms, this one is for you.This is WORK: Unsolicited Advice! Watch full episode on YouTube.

With all this talk about Teresa's upcoming reconciliation with Joe and Melissa Gorga, it is time to take a moment out and ask how this make up will affect Margaret Josephs, how do Marge and Dolo feel about this reconciliation and even if Tre and Mel reconcile, how could an RHONJ exist with all 4 of the above mentioned Housewives. Teresa seems to have a fall back plan, if her fake reconciliation tour does not work and, in a move no one saw coming, it involves prison. Of course, inserting ourselves right in the middle of this three ring circus dog and pony show, we offer some advice, albeit unsolicited, to Tre and Mel that we suggest they listen to very, very closely. Last, but not least, to lighten the mood, a RHOSLC recap to end all recaps in what is still one brilliant, this is how it is done, master class of a season. Bravo, no pun intended. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What's the most annoying thing people do? It's not gossiping. It's not complaining. It's giving advice you never asked for.We've all been on the receiving end of it — someone who means well, but ends up making us feel small, talked down to, or misunderstood. And if we're honest, we've probably been the ones doing it too.The truth is, unsolicited advice rarely lands the way we hope. It often feels obvious, condescending, or gets brushed off entirely. That's because most advice comes from our need to be right rather than our desire to truly support.In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, I share a simple 3-step method that transforms how you give advice. Instead of creating distance, it helps your words feel supportive, validating, and even welcoming.If you enjoyed this episode, you may also like:How to Give Honest Feedback (Without Triggering Them)How to Navigate Toxic RelationshipsWant to be more in alignment with your purpose?

When high-profile food critic and journalist Giles Coren revealed he had begun attending church as a 'lapsed atheist' he joined an increasing number of people now using that label to describe themselves. Justin Brierley investigates why other public figures like Konstantin Kisin, Louise Perry, Niall Ferguson, James Lindsay and Carl Benjamin are trying out church as 'lapsed atheists'. He also hears from a new breed of thinking atheists - Alex O Connor (aka Cosmic Skeptic) and Joe Folley (aka Unsolicited Advice) on what it would take for them to believe. But what moves 'lapsed atheists' towards Christian faith? Ross Douthat, author of 'Believe: Why everyone should be religious' offers advice, and Luke Thornton a young convert from atheism to Christianity tells his story.

This episode opens up a conversation about what happens when unsolicited advice is given by projectors. I'm sharing some thoughts and insights from my followers and students about their experiences with receiving unsolicited advice from projectors as well as what it feels like to give unsolicited advice as a projector. The episode highlights the value of receiving advice with an open mind, the challenges projectors face when giving unsolicited advice, and the significance of waiting for invitations before sharing wisdom. Ultimately, this episode encourages both projectors and non-projectors to focus on self-awareness and personal growth.Follow Madeline's on Instagram @healthy_madelineLook up your Human Design Chart HereBook a reading with Madeline hereVisit Madeline's website here

Have you ever been caught in a conversation where you felt unheard or misunderstood? On this episode of the Do Good to Lead Well podcast, I'm exploring the transformative power of effective listening. With insights from Stephen Covey's timeless principle of seeking first to understand, and a revealing study from Zenger Folkman in Harvard Business Review, I uncover the real markers of great listening. It's not just about nodding silently; it's about engaging mindfully, channeling curiosity through thoughtful questions. These skills help us navigate today's polarized landscape and build bridges where there were none.Active listening is more than a skill; it's an art that can mend divides and strengthen connections. Drawing from my own experiences, I share how misplaced advice during an enthusiastic travel story highlighted the pitfalls of assuming rather than understanding. Empathy and emotional intelligence are key, especially in a tech-driven world where face-to-face interactions are rare. By being present, asking the right questions, and truly listening, we can foster more meaningful relationships and learn from disagreements. Tune in to this episode and discover how great listening can lead to a brighter, more connected future. What You'll Learn- Why listening is a crucial skill in our personal and professional lives.- Common misconceptions about effective listening.- Is being silent sufficient to demonstrate great listening?- It's all about timing when it comes to giving advice.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Why Listening is a (Leadership) Superpower(02:52) – Key Behaviors of Great Listening(15:47) – A Personal Example(19:11) – A Final ThoughtKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Active Listening, Communication Skills, Empathy, Emotional Intelligence, Effective Communication, Seek First to Understand, Asking Questions, Building Relationships, The Power of Curiosity, Navigating Disagreements, Unsolicited Advice, Polarized World, Open Dialogue, CEO Success
