Ryan Hawk arrived at Miami University the day after high school graduation, with a plan to earn the starting quarterback job and make it to the NFL. Two years later, a 6'5" kid from somewhere in Ohio showed up and took the job away from him. That kid turned out to be Ben Roethlisberger. What Ryan did with that moment became the entire foundation of The Learning Leader podcast, one of the most respected leadership shows in the country, and his new book The Price of Becoming. He joins Joe and OG to talk about the habits, frameworks, and daily actions that compound into something exceptional -- and what to do when the plan doesn't survive contact with reality.What You'll Walk Away WithCoach Hepp's three-sentence leadership philosophy that Ryan has never forgotten: have a plan, work the plan, and plan for the unexpectedWhy being told "he gives us a better chance to win than you do" was the most valuable coaching Ryan ever received -- and what it teaches about adding value versus wanting creditThe imitate-then-innovate framework: why The Beatles were a cover band first, why Wayne Gretzky took handwritten notes watching players smaller than himself, and why copying the greats isn't theft -- it's the fastest path to finding your own voiceRyan's first draft pick for becoming exceptional: a five-to-ten minute nightly prompt exercise built around one Charlie Munger question that compounds like a great investmentWhy truth tellers -- people willing to look you in the eye and tell you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear -- are the most underrated asset in any high performer's lifeThe superpower Ryan has found in every great leader he's interviewed across 11 years and hundreds of conversations: deep, specific curiosity -- and why it's the ultimate form of showing loveSweat more than you watch other people sweat: Scott Galloway's physical discipline framework applied to every area of lifeThe Brock Purdy late-round pick: why bringing a notebook to every meeting -- something almost no intern or young employee does -- is the single easiest way to stand out and learn fasterThe boomerang kids debate: why nearly half of Americans under 30 now live with a parent, when OG thinks it's a great idea, when he thinks you suck, and why it only works if there's a real plan with a real end dateJames from the community: how retiring at 52 let him become his daughter's bank in a hot real estate market -- loan document, market rate, free labor but zero say in the houseWhy This Matters NowThe gap between people who become exceptional and people who almost do isn't talent -- it's the daily actions they're willing to stack. This episode is the practical blueprint for what those actions actually look like.From the BasementRyan Hawk joins Joe and OG to talk about getting benched, the imitate-then-innovate path from cover band to original voice, and the five draft picks that build a great life -- including one that Joe immediately connects to hiding money from himself. The Wall Street Journal's piece on boomerang kids gives OG a platform to explain exactly when it's smart, when it's lazy, and why his kids should not take this as an invitation. Doug arrives with Cleveland trivia and the story of how a newspaper's cheap typesetting permanently changed the name of a major American city. James from the community sends a letter that makes OG quietly admit he was wrong about the appraisal.Resources MentionedThe Price of Becoming: The Compounding Practices of High Performance by Ryan Hawk -- available wherever books are soldThe Learning Leader podcast -- Ryan Hawk; available wherever you listen to podcasts; learningleader.comSteal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon -- referenced for the imitate-then-innovate frameworkSet for Life by Scott Trench -- referenced for Joe's kids; biggerpockets.comBroke Millennial by Erin Lowry -- referenced for Joe's kids; brokemillennial.comWall Street Journal -- "Living With Your Parents Is No Longer Viewed as a Failure to Launch" by Rebecca Picciotto and Nicholas G.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes back Steve Hanke back to the show. Steve Hanke is a Professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University. Hanke highlights the two major wars—the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran and the Ukraine war—as critical disruptors of global commodity flows. He notes that the Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed, with Iran controlling it, and the Houthis threaten the Red Sea chokepoint, severely constricting crude and refined product supplies. Russia's cutoff of diesel exports and domestic fuel shortages compound the strain. Oil markets are in backwardation, with spot prices above futures, signaling dangerously low inventories that have cushioned prices so far but are nearing depletion. Hanke warns that once physical inventories run out, oil prices could spike dramatically, potentially later this summer. He advises going long on oil, especially major producers, as a straightforward trade for most investors. On gold, Hanke maintains a bullish outlook, projecting a peak around $6,000 per ounce based on historical ratios to real disposable income. He attributes recent pullbacks to dollar strength and rising interest rates but sees central bank buying as a fundamental driver. He also discusses the pressure on the Fed to monetize debt, which could fuel inflation and support gold. The conversation shifts to the broader commodity supercycle, fueled by deglobalization, underinvestment, and the need for larger precautionary inventories. Copper and tungsten are identified as clear bullish plays due to supply deficits. Hanke notes that high diesel prices are squeezing mining and agriculture, potentially raising output prices. He also touches on dollarization, recommending developing countries adopt the U.S. dollar to expand its use rather than de-dollarize. The interview concludes with Hanke emphasizing the importance of money supply growth as the key determinant of nominal GDP and inflation.

Show NotesCaviar on the Ground, Coach in the Air: Inside the $1,300 PS Concierge Terminal in MiamiIn this episode, Max dives into one of the most surreal, over‑the‑top travel experiences available to regular commercial passengers: PS, the luxury private terminal that lets you skip the airport entirely and board your flight from the tarmac like an A‑lister.Travel columnist Dawn Gilbertson of The Wall Street Journal spent $1,300 to test the brand‑new PS Miami facility, and her story is a wild ride through a world where caviar, chauffeured Suburbans, and private TSA checkpoints collide with basic‑economy boarding passes.What we cover in this episodeHow PS works — and why travelers never step inside the actual airportThe private TSA checkpoint two miles from Miami InternationalRiding across the airfield in a PS Suburban and boarding via the jetbridge stairsThe “salon” vs. the $5,000 suites (yes, with free Apple accessories and minibars)Champagne and caviar service, Cubano sandwiches, and the Centurion Quiet Reserve cocktailWhy tipping at a luxury terminal feels strangeThe joy and guilt of entering a commercial jet from the baggage‑handler doorWhether this service is worth the money — and who it's really forA few standout moments from Dawn's reporting“Seconds later, I was through security and riding in a Chevy Suburban with ‘P/S' stamped on the side.” “I never set foot inside the airport.”Her visit included a 15‑minute private ride across the airfield, a gift bag, and the rare privilege of boarding an American Airlines 737 from the jetbridge door normally used by ramp workers. It's commercial flying… but with a Hollywood twist.Why this matters for travelersPS is expanding fast — Miami, Dallas/Fort Worth, Atlanta, and Los Angeles — and it's part of a growing trend: travelers paying for friction‑free airport experiences without going full private‑jet.

Brett Forrest, The Lost Son: An American Family Trapped Inside the FBI's Secret Wars. The story shifts to 2017 when Brett Forrest, a Wall Street Journal correspondent, receives a tip from Bob Foresman, an American financier with deep ties to the Russian and Ukrainian power structures. Foresman reveals the outlines of a "story of great depth": a young Michigan man who worked for the FBI in counterterrorism had disappeared in Russia, after which his handlers visited his family, confiscated their electronics, and then effectively "shut the Rileys out." Forrest visits the Rileys in the winter and finds a family living through a tragedy but fueled by a relentless energy to find their son. The timeline of Billy's final known movements is established through his WhatsApp messages to his mother. He arrived in Moscow, met with contacts named Mikhail Pollenov and Elena Gorbacheva, and then took a train to Rostov-on-Don, a staging ground for the conflict in Eastern Ukraine. Billy told his parents he intended to join a "humanitarian mission" delivering food and medical supplies to civilians in the war zone. While he was a self-taught expert on the region and could read Russian well, his parents remained uncertain if his humanitarian goals were his true or only purpose. On June 24, 2015, while his parents were on a bicycle trip, Billy sent a final, cryptic message stating that "plans have changed," ending all further communication. (2)1898

In recent months, Ukraine has clearly seized the initiative against Russia. Its impressive use of drones and autonomous weapons systems has put Russia on the defensive, while strikes on Russian energy infrastructure are causing gasoline shortages for ordinary Russians. I speak with The Wall Street Journal's Yaroslav Trofimov about how and why Ukraine's fortunes have suddenly turned—and what comes next in the war. We caught up at the Aspen Security Forum on the same day that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fired Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, even though Fedorov had championed many of the tactics that made Ukraine's advances possible. We begin by discussing that dramatic turn of events before broadening the conversation to the current trajectory of the war.

DJ DiDonna is a Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School, where he teaches entrepreneurship. In 2019, he founded The Sabbatical Project to define, explore, and research sabbaticals, and he has since advised organizations ranging from nonprofits to Fortune 50 companies on how to design sabbatical policies. His work on sabbaticals has been featured in outlets including The Atlantic, Time, Fast Company, The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Fortune, and NPR. Before his work on sabbaticals, DJ co-founded EFL Global, a fintech social enterprise that helped enable more than $2 billion in capital for underbanked businesses and individuals across more than 20 countries. On his own sabbatical, DJ walked 900 miles on pilgrimage in Shikoku, Japan, and ran a poverty research lab at Notre Dame. DJ's is also the author of the book, Big Time Off: The Transformative Power of Sabbaticals and How to Take One In this episode we discuss the following: Sometimes we need to zoom out before we can know whether we should keep going. DJ had his  dream job, but over time, it stopped being fulfilling. So he took a sabbatical. Sabbaticals are different from vacations. On vacation, the work is often still waiting, and part of our brain is still running in the background. But on a true sabbatical, we step far enough away from normal life to see more clearly and focus on what is important, not just what is urgent. Sabbaticals also give us room to experiment with different versions of ourselves. When we're younger, we have socially acceptable ways to do that — school, internships, missions, study abroad, gap years. But as adults, those opportunities become less common, and we often stop experimenting altogether. We get on a track, stay in the lane, and assume the next thing should look a lot like the last thing. The sabbatical helps us break out. I love DJ's phrase that sabbaticals are “regret insurance.” Maybe we can't take a sabbatical tomorrow. But what are we doing five years from now? What would we regret never having done? And what would it look like to start planning now?

In this episode, Dr. Baron sits down with Naomi Nachman, a well-known kosher food personality, author, and travel connoisseur, to discuss her personal experience with pregnancy loss from years ago. She shares the story of her second pregnancy, only to discover at a routine five-month checkup that her baby no longer had a heartbeat. This conversation explores the intersection of faith and medical trauma, highlighting Naomi's deep-rooted bitachon (faith) that continues to carry her through life-changing moments.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Greetings you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! Last week The Wall Street Journal published a backstory on what Mark Carney's been doing in Europe. Building alliances, stiffening spines against Trump, searching for sovereignty out of rupture, calls from one of his personal cell phones. It didn't contain exclusively new information, but it was fascinating detail in an American publication that prompted another question: How do journalists cover Mark Carney's government and what's actually different about this prime minister? Prime Minister Carney is an internationalist with a following in Europe and the US. He's a known quantity to economic journalists everywhere. His government gives the impression of frenetic pace. He's managing the most difficult American administration in living memory. That's not a normal beat. To help figure out what it's actually like to cover Mark Carney day to day, we've got three of the best journalists in the business: Paul Wells, publisher of his own brilliant and widely read newsletter, https://paulwells.substack.com; Janyce McGregor, senior reporter at CBC News Network and a member of the Parliamentary Press Gallery; and Mackenzie Gray, national reporter with global news covering Parliament Hill. It was a genuinely revealing conversation. Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

A reading of articles and features from the weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal

Good afternoon — July 20, 2026. On this episode of Little Column A, Little Column B, hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop bounce between sports, movies, and everyday absurdities. They open with the viral story of a Florida high school senior who reportedly graduated with an eye-popping 11.99 GPA after completing nearly two dozen AP classes and enough college coursework to earn an associate degree. The discussion turns into a debate about academic competition, changing GPA policies, and whether achievements like that deserve their own unique recognition. From there, the conversation shifts to the NBA, breaking down the three-team trade involving Luguentz Dort, why Oklahoma City prioritized financial flexibility, and how modern front offices increasingly value cap management as much as talent. They also dive into LeBron James rumors, Celtics-Lakers storylines, offseason speculation, and what the league's biggest stars mean for scheduling and television interest. The second half focuses on Hollywood, with a deep discussion about Marvel's future, Robert Downey Jr.'s return as Doctor Doom, nostalgia-driven storytelling, Spider-Man's importance to the MCU, and whether superhero fatigue is really about quantity over quality. The conversation expands into blockbuster movie releases, premium theater experiences, and why buying opening-weekend tickets is starting to resemble purchasing concert tickets. The show wraps up with classic "Little Column A, Little Column B" randomness: Larry David-inspired solutions to everyday annoyances, debates over traffic laws, self-driving cars, speed cameras, and the Wall Street Journal's "Million Beers" challenge.

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-hosts Miriam Gottfried and Telis Demos are joined by Brent Sullivan, founder of Tax Alpha Insider, to dive into a hot, over $150 billion investing strategy called “tax-aware long-short.” This strategy aims to help wealthy investors beat the market while lowering their tax bill by using leverage and short selling to actively harvest losses. Sullivan breaks down how this compares to other forms of tax-loss harvesting and whether the strategy is worth the risk (and cost) for the average investor. He also explains other ways investors can implement tax-aware investing in their own portfolios. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Telis Demos, writer for WSJ's Heard on the Street, and Miriam Gottfried, WSJ's investing and wealth management reporter, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

— What does it truly mean to find peace with your adoption story? For many adoptees, questions about identity, belonging, loss, love, and family can linger for a lifetime. In this episode, Lauren Williams, a respected and dedicated psychotherapist and founder of Park Avenue Mental Health Counseling in New York City, explores the complex emotional landscape of adoption and the path toward healing, acceptance, and forgiveness. Lauren Williams discusses the realities and myths surrounding biological and adoptive bonds, the importance of releasing resentment and idealized narratives, and how embracing compassion for both birth and adoptive parents can create space for peace.
