Wood's recent Wall Street Journal op-ed arguing that the United States is built on shared ideas, not shared bloodlines—and what that means in an era of rising “blood and soil” nationalism and demographic change.

We're taking a holiday break, so we're rewinding to one of our favorite episodes this year with Cassie McDaniel, Medium's head of design. We're also including video from the episode, which you can watch here or on our YouTube channel at dbtr.co/youtube. We hope you have a lovely holiday season with your family, friends, and loved ones. —Eli & Aarron *** Cassie McDaniel, Medium's head of design, is someone with a clear vision for how a design team should work. She believes team members should have a breadth of skills, craft should be the foundation of product design, and experimentation is important in both work and workflow. To that end, Cassie and the leadership team at Medium recently made what some might see as a controversial decision: They eliminated product management. The result? They are moving faster than ever. We chat with Cassie about what led to this decision—and why it might not work for all teams, how she thinks about balancing Medium's legacy of thoughtful design while moving the product forward, and how writing can help you advance your design career. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This ad-supported episode is available to everyone.

In this episode, Lisa Bilyeu is joined by health expert, author, and all-around empowering badass Dr. Mindy Pelz. Together, they dig deep into why so many women feel pressured to live up to exhausting expectations set by society… from how we look, to how we show up as moms, wives, and at work. Dr. Mindy shares her own stories and insights from groundbreaking research, showing how these childhood messages quietly shape our boundaries, self-confidence, and relationships (and why so many of us feel “not okay” trying to keep up). You'll hear a refreshingly honest take on body image struggles, people-pleasing, and the relentless chase for outside approval.

Send us a textDon't Just Say "Useful"! 15 High-Level Words for Technology (IELTS Band 8+)Technology is a common IELTS topic. Don't limit yourself to basic words like "useful." Today, we cover 15 high-level words related to tech and innovation that will impress the examiners and boost your Lexical Resource score.

AJ and Johnny sit down with Carla Ondrasik, author of Stop Trying, to unpack why the word try is secretly holding you back from real change. Carla shares how “trying” tricks your brain into feeling productive while keeping you stuck — and why doing, not trying, is the antidote to procrastination, perfectionism, and fear. They explore how language shapes behavior, why “I'll try” destroys trust and momentum, and how replacing it with decisive action transforms confidence, relationships, and follow-through. You'll learn how to silence your inner critic, embrace failure, and finally move from thinking about it to living it.

A birth plan is a document that outlines your preferences for labor and what happens immediately after your baby's birth. A birth plan is much more than a piece of paper you hand to your care provider. It is the process you go through to prepare for your desired birth experience. This process will lay the foundation for preparing you for scenarios where everything goes exactly as planned and for what should happen if it does not. The value of a birth plan has more to do with the process of creating it than with the finished product. This simple process will help you navigate your labor and birth with confidence.

In this episode, Ron is joined by Hagar Chemali (Fmr. spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the UN) to break down the Trump administration's 2025 National Security Strategy—and why it reads like multiple agendas stitched together. They dig into the document's big shift toward the Western Hemisphere, what “partnership without shared values” really implies, and how the administration's internal split—isolationists vs. internationalists—creates real risk when the U.S. can't speak with one voice. The conversation moves to China and Taiwan, where the NSS repeats long-standing policy while the administration's actions suggest a tougher, more transactional posture. Then they hit the blind spots: Hong Kong and Jimmy Lai, the chilling signal sent by a collapse of opposition space, and what it means when human rights drops out of the national security frame. Finally: Islamist extremism and antisemitic violence, including the Bondi Beach shooting and a foiled bombing plot in Southern California—and why ignoring incitement doesn't make it disappear.
