Johnny Mac discusses the Sept. 10 “New York City, Still Rising” 9/11 charity comedy benefit at Madison Square Garden, noting Jon Stewart and Pete Davidson's involvement and that several announced performers (Aziz Ansari, Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, Ronny Chieng, and Davidson) also played the Riyadh Comedy Festival, while wondering if NYC Mayor Mamdani would attend and how he'd be received. He covers comedian Mary Beth Barone's support of Mamdani and her criticism of Democratic Party leadership. From Just for Laughs Montreal's State of the Industry, he highlights jokes and commentary from Jay Jurden and Gianmarco Soresi about various comedians and the festival. He then spotlights Seth Simons' FOIA-based Comedy Fee Tracker database (humorism.xyz) with reported booking fees for major comics.

Why do we size up a rude stranger in seconds and decide they don't belong in our "tribe"? Dr. Benjamin Granger has a term for it: the evolutionary hangover — his phrase for the cognitive biases our brains evolved for savanna survival and never quite retired. As Chief Workplace Psychologist at Qualtrics, Granger spends his days distilling billions of data points on how employees and customers really feel, and in this episode he brings that same lens to his new USA Today bestseller, A Leader Worth Following. The conversation moves from the biological to the deeply practical. Granger traces human speech back only 100,000–200,000 years — a blink in evolutionary time — to explain why we still assume our texts and emails land exactly as intended, and why they so often don't. He and host Peter Winick dig into a favorite (and least favorite) example: the customer satisfaction survey. Whether it's a car dealership coaching you to "circle the five" or a flight attendant joking about the inevitable post-flight survey, Granger shows how well-established science like goal-setting theory gets bent out of shape the moment it collides with real incentive structures. There's also a candid look at what it takes to write a book while holding down a demanding day job — from years of scattered iPhone notes to a publisher's cold outreach that landed within days of deciding to write one. Granger and Winick talk through the tension every corporate thought leader faces: how do you promote your ideas without it feeling like self-promotion? Granger's answer — "I'm selling the message, not myself" — anchors a broader discussion of why academic rigor and real-world readability don't have to be at odds. The episode closes on a personal note: Granger's hope that more leaders will get comfortable with hard conversations with themselves, and a few concrete ways to start — from a two-minute daily reflection borrowed from Marshall Goldsmith to a monthly sit-down with your future self. If you've ever wondered why your best-intentioned message got read the wrong way, or why your company's survey scores don't tell the real story, this one's for you. Three Key Takeaways: • Our brains are running outdated software. Granger's "evolutionary hangover" concept explains why we instantly judge people as "abrasive" or "rude" — a tribal survival instinct that made sense on the savanna but creates friction in modern offices and customer interactions. • Good science can get gamed by bad incentives. Goal-setting is one of the most well-established practices in organizational psychology, but Granger shows how tying compensation to survey scores (like a car dealership's NPS rating) corrupts the very measurement it's supposed to improve. • Selling ideas isn't the same as selling yourself. Granger reframes self-promotion as message-promotion — a mental shift that let him push through years of book marketing discomfort because he believes the underlying research deserves to reach people. Ben isn't the only one turning years of hard-won research into a book built to scale. Bill Sherman, Peter Winick, and Naren Aryal have just released The Thought Leadership Handbook: How the Experts Elevate Their Big Ideas—and How You Can Too — a field guide drawn from more than 700 conversations on this very podcast, mapping out the frameworks and five "thought leadership avatars" that separate an idea stuck in your head from one that actually reaches an audience. If Ben's path from scattered iPhone notes to a USA Today bestseller has you thinking about your own expertise, this is the next book on your list. Get it at thoughtleadershiphandbook.com, or find it on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, Apple Books, or Amplify.

How you feel on Sunday night tells you something real about your relationship with work. Amy Leneker, the author of Cheers to Monday, calls it one of the most honest assessments we have, and she would know. Seven weeks into medical leave after a panic attack, she sat in a doctor's office, got handed a questionnaire, and could not answer a question about what she did for fun. In this conversation, Amy walks through what she learned from that unraveling and the research that followed. She explains the difference between the stress that helps you perform and the stress that wears you down, and why leaders and their teams so often talk past each other on exactly that point. She shares the zero-to-10 question that opens up a conversation about stress without putting anyone on the spot, her three-step See, Sort, Solve method, and how to separate what you can control from what you cannot. There is a lot in here you can use this week if you lead people. Including one calendar trick involving a standing Friday appointment with Dr. Green. About our guest Amy Leneker is the founder and CEO of the Center for Joyful Work and the author of Cheers to Monday: The Surprisingly Simple Method to Lead and Live with Less Stress and More Joy, published by Wiley in 2026. The book debuted as the number one bestselling business book on the USA Today list. Amy spent more than two decades in leadership, including ten years in the C-suite, before burnout forced a different path. She has studied leadership at Yale, neuroscience at the NeuroLeadership Institute, and stress resilience at Harvard Medical School. She leads an annual national workforce study on stress and joy at work, has trained more than 100,000 people, and hosts the Less Stress, More Joy podcast. She and her family live in the Pacific Northwest.

On this episode of Behind the Numbers, host Dave Bookbinder sits down with Terry Fossum - #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author, global TEDx speaker, LA Magazine's Person of the Year, and winner of Fox's Kicking & Screaming. Together, they go behind the data to unpack the hidden drivers of enterprise value, executive execution, and authority-building. Terry shares his "throw away the box" playbook for business reinvention and breaks down the behavioral economics behind his Oxcart Technique - a framework grounded in prospect theory designed to engineer success and eliminate execution breakdowns. Key Topics Covered: The Disruption Data: Why 52% of the Fortune 500 from the year 2000 no longer exist, and why a company's past success is often its biggest threat. Closing the Quota Gap: Why 73% of sales reps miss their targets and how to design "failure scenarios" that actually motivate action. The Economics of Authority: How leaders can leverage stages and books as strategic business assets to turn invisible expertise into high-value clients. Reverse-Engineering Systems: Lessons in persistence from Terry's brother, who decoded NASA's selection process to become an ISS Space Station Commander after being rejected six times. High-Stakes Leadership: What surviving the Fijian jungle on reality TV teaches us about guiding teams through fear, uncertainty, and corporate transformation.

The Strange Case of Rob, Michele and Nick Reiner Episode 393 – It came as a shock when Rob and Michele Reiner were murdered late last year. Now, their son Nick, accused of the murders, is trying to fund his defense using money in a trust fund provided by his parents. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 393 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: the strange case of Rob, Michele & Nick Reiner. World-famous movie director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were both stabbed to death in their home in the early hours of December 14, 2025. Their son, Nick, was arrested soon afterward and charged with first-degree murder. No conviction has occurred, and Nick Reiner is entitled to the presumption of innocence while proceedings occur. Nick had gotten into a heated argument with his parents the previous evening, during a party at the home of Conan O’Brien, a well-known television talk show host.[1] Upon his arrest, Nick hired a well-known defense attorney named Alan Jackson, who had previously represented Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein, but Jackson eventually withdrew from the case. Jackson at first refused to specifically state why he withdrew, but it is believed that money was a main issue.[2] Reiner is currently represented by Los Angeles County Public Defender Kimberly Greene, but according to a petition filed on his behalf, Jackson is willing to come back to assist with the case. Reiner would like to rehire Jackson, but he needs to find a way to pay him.[3] Nick apparently has no current source of income, but he does have a trust fund, set up by his parents, which is estimated to be at least $1.5 million. Through his attorney, Nick is petitioning the court for access to the trust fund to help finance his defense.[4] In other words, he would like to use some of the money his parents gave him to help defend himself against the murder charges. The terms of the trust are specific: half of the funds were supposed to be distributed when he reached age 30 in 2023, with the other half to be distributed when he turns 35. The 2023 distribution apparently did not happen.[5] As for the second payment, due in 2028, the outcome is in doubt. If convicted, Nick would likely be prohibited from collecting it due to California's “slayer statute.”[6] Most U.S. states have a slayer statute. This type of law first gained attention in 1989 when the Menendez brothers were accused of killing their parents in Beverly Hills, CA. The brothers were convicted of murder and prohibited from collecting their inheritance from their parents' estate. In California, the statute states that someone who murders someone else cannot inherit assets or gain any financial profit as a result. The burden of proof varies, with some states requiring a criminal conviction to void a disposition, and other states requiring only civil liability.[7] In Nick's case, if the statute is ruled applicable, it would result in Nick being treated as if he had predeceased his parents.[8] A big part of the issue is the unmade trust distribution from 2023, which was scheduled before the crime was committed. The trustee apparently denied the payment due to Nick's history of substance abuse, and his alleged inability to manage the trust assets on his own.[9] [10] For his part, Nick's attorney classifies this as a subjective opinion, which, in his view, is not a valid reason to hold back the money.[11] But things get even more complicated from there. Nick's side has also argued that the assets in question are not assets of his deceased parents' estate, but assets of a trust that had already been funded before the crimes occurred. The argument is that once the assets went into the trust, they were no longer part of Rob and Michele Reiner's estates. [12] Then there's the issue of legal competence. The counterargument offered by Nick's lawyer is that the trustee has the authorization to make payments to a fiduciary, so competency shouldn't be relevant.[13] Reiner asserted in a court filing that his two siblings, Jake and Romy Reiner, had agreed at first to pay legal fees to retain Alan Jackson, but later changed their minds.[14] Their role in any future trial or litigation remains to be seen. Of course, Nick Reiner is presumed innocent until proven guilty. For now, his trust attorneys claim that by blocking access to what they characterize as his own funds, the trustee is effectively punishing him before he is convicted.[15] There’s still a lot to be determined here.

Are you overwhelmed by all the self-improvement advice out there? Every book, every podcast, every social media post is telling you a different thing you should be doing and all those things might leave you feeling exactly the same as when you started. My guest today has spent the last decade interviewing more than 700 top performers to figure out what actually moves the needle. His book has hundreds of strategies, but I picked out the five that work best for anyone who wants to build confidence, reduce anxiety, or become a stronger version of themselves. My guest is Ryan Hawk, host of The Learning Leader Show and USA Today bestselling author. His new book is The Price of Becoming. Some of the things we discuss are: Why confidence comes from evidence and how it transfers to every other area of your life Why it's okay to copy other people when you're starting out (and the surprising fact about The Beatles that proves it). Curiosity as a skill disguised as a personality trait and why Ryan says it might be his number one love language. The line Ryan's dad said that reframes almost every anxious thought The Adam Sandler story about the professor who told him he'd never make it and the surprising way Sandler chose to remember him The difference between "clean fuel" and "dirty fuel" The three journaling prompts Ryan uses every night to compound growth over time The Therapist's Take: M quick take on how to apply each strategy starting today Related Episodes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 248 — The 3 Words That Will Make You Mentally Stronger ⁠⁠⁠⁠330 — The Real Reason Your Coping Skills Aren't Helping (It's Not You) Links & Resources The Price of Becoming Connect with the Show Buy a copy of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Amy on Instagram —⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@AmyMorinAuthor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sign Up for My Newsletter —⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amymorinlcsw.com/newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sponsors Helix Sleep —Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠helixsleep.com/STRONGER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get 20% off sitewide   AirDoctor — Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AirDoctorPro.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and use promo code STRONGER to get UP TO $300 off today!

Energy management, decision making, and knowing when to walk away are at the center of this conversation with Mark Malkoff, author of Love Johnny Carson.Mark Malkoff is a comedian, filmmaker, and interviewer who spent eight years and nearly 400 interviews building The Carson Podcast. That work became his first book, Love Johnny Carson, written with biographer David Ritz and a USA Today bestseller. He's back on the show fourteen years after his first appearance — back when he was the guy making viral creative stunt videos.In this conversation, we cover:Guarding your energy: Why Carson stayed alone all day and showed up minutes before showtime — treating energy as the one thing worth protecting — and what that means for anyone who has to perform without burning out.Saying no to protect the work: He turned down film roles and refused to chase trends, because staying number one meant declining almost everything that wasn't the show.Making other people look good: Carson's rule was that the guest gets the laugh, and the same instinct drove how fiercely he protected and publicly thanked his staff.The cost nobody edits out: An honest look at the reviews he couldn't let go of, the drinking, and four marriages — and why Mark won't hold Carson up as a life to copy wholesale.Walking away, and the power of asking: Why Carson left at the top to go actually live, plus Mark's own craft — the long game, the homework, and the curiosity behind nearly 400 impossible interviews.If you make things — if you write, record, build, or perform — this one's for you. Carson is that rare figure who's both a model and a cautionary tale, and the line Mark keeps returning to is the one worth carrying out the door: follow the curiosity, and don't mistake the work for the point of the work. Grab Love Johnny Carson wherever you buy books, and start on The Carson Podcast for the interviews underneath it.Connect with Mark:WebsiteThe Carson PodcastConnect with Erik:LinkedInThreadsFacebookBlueskyThis Podcast is Powered By:Brain.fm - 20% off your first monthDescriptDescript 101CastmagicEcammPodpageRodecaster ProGrab Shortcasts from Beyond The To-Do List by Blinkist:http://beyondthetodolist.com/blinkistSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In a shocking display of hypocrisy, a recent column by a prominent journalist has sparked outrage and debate in the world of sports. The article in question targets WNBA star Caitlyn Clark, accusing her of "flopping" and "endangering" her opponents. But is this criticism justified, or is it just a thinly veiled attempt to vilify a talented athlete? This episode delves into the controversy surrounding Caitlyn Clark's playing style and the journalist's column, which has been widely criticized for its tone and content. The speaker discusses the implications of the article, including its potential to divide NBA fans by race and justify racism against whites. The conversation also touches on the importance of holding athletes to the same standards as the media and the public. The speaker argues that Caitlyn Clark's playing style, while sometimes questionable, is not unique in the world of sports. Many athletes, including some of the greatest players of all time, have been accused of flopping or exaggerating contact. However, the speaker suggests that the journalist's column is not just about criticizing Clark's playing style, but about using her as a symbol of white privilege and racism. The episode is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of sports, racism, and the media's role in shaping public opinion. Join the conversation and listen to the full episode to hear the speaker's take on this timely and contentious issue.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they sift through the wild Democratic primary for governor in Wisconsin, Islamist attacks in New York City described as mental health issues, USA Today's bonkers column tying defenders of the WNBA's Caitlin Clark to lynch mobs in the 1960s, and the government failing to track hundreds of billions in grants to the states.First, they dig into the dysfunctional Democratic primary for governor in the Badger State. The frontrunner is an avowed Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidate. The governor's preferred candidate had to drop out because her own staff cooked the books and the campaign ran out of money. And the other candidates are a mess too. Jim and Greg pop the popcorn.Next, they sigh as two obvious Islamist extremist stabbings in New York City get described as possible hate crimes but also possible mental health issues. They also wince while remembering that Mamdani will play a prominent role in the 25th anniversary observances of 9/11 terrorist attacks in just a few weeks.Then, they rip USA Today sports columnist and relentless woke warrior Nancy Armour for denouncing defenders of Caitlin Clark as white nationalists and comparing them to the lynch mob that killed Emmett Till in 1955. Jim and Greg discuss the insanity of that analogy. Jim also details how the WNBA is thoroughly committed to financial failure.Finally, they groan as a new watchdog report shows that we cannot trace the final destination of nearly 75 percent of $958.6 billion in state grants.Please visit our great sponsors: LarinecoRight now, Larineco is offering our listeners up to 50% off at https://BuyLarine.com/3MLNoble GoldOwn the metal the future depends on with the help of Noble Gold.
