"Crucial Instances" is Edith Wharton's second collection of short stories, published in 1901, featuring seven tales that delve into the complexities of human relationships and societal expectations. Among these stories is "Copy: A Dialogue," presented in the format of a short play, showcasing Wharton's skill in exploring dialogue and character dynamics. The themes of communication, misunderstanding, and the nuances of social interaction remain relevant today, inviting listeners to reflect on the enduring nature of human connection. Wharton's incisive observations on the human condition make this collection a timeless exploration of the intricacies of life and the choices we make.
#733: Venture fund managers can collect years of fees before a single dollar comes back to investors — and the bar to hand over your money is lower than you'd think.

In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Tom Loarie talks with Tom Hardin, dubbed the FBI’s “Tipper X.” An undergraduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton School of Business, Hardin’s promising career as a young financial analyst and junior partner at a small hedge fund in Manhattan, segued into Hardin becoming the youngest trader to be caught in a massive insider training FBI sting. Hardin agreed to cooperate with the FBI—agreeing to wear a hidden wire on more than 40 occasions—and ultimately becoming one of the most prolific informants in securities fraud history. His cooperation helped to build more than 20 of the 80+ individual criminal cases in “Operation Perfect Hedge,” the largest insider trading investigation of a generation. This episode delivers a riveting, raw, unvarnished conversation with Hardin on self-deception, the high price of “fitting in”, and how to survive life’s absolute worst moments. He wasn’t publicly dubbed “Tipper x” until early 2010. At the time, he had less than 12 hours to prepare his relatives before his name was made public. As you’ll hear, Tom Hardin doesn’t hide behind the word “mistake.” He openly admits: “I did this intentionally.” That radical accountability is what allowed him to rebuild his life, find his faith, and serve as a warning sign to keep other leaders from sliding down the same slippery slope. Of course he cannot work in the financial field with a felony conviction, but in 2016 the FBI invited him to speak to agents about his side of the story, which proved to be quite eye-opening for some of the younger agents. A few of the agents told Harding they felt others in the financial, hedge fund industry would benefit from his story. He has now shared his first-hand cautionary tale to more than 150 audiences, including 90 hedge fund firms. In broader context, we tend to think that massive personal and professional failures happen overnight. But they don't. In reality, these failures happen through quiet, everyday compromises in two critical areas: (1) The Trap of “Fitting In” — There is a dangerous difference between finding a place where you belong and twisting yourself to “fit in.” Fitting in is an active sacrifice. To fit in with an elite crowd, we silence our voice, compromise our values, and erase our true self. When young Wharton graduate Tom Hardin entered the high-stakes world of Wall Street, his desperate desire to fit in clouded his moral judgment. Because Hardin lacked grounded mentors early in his career to model real ethics, he slipped into self-deception. Once you deceive yourself, you can deceive anyone – and lose your soul in the process. (2) The Danger of “Turning Against” Your Spouse — Statistics show that only 15% of marriages survive a federal felony conviction. Yet, Tom's wife, Sue, stood fiercely by his side. When asked how she survived the trauma of his arrest, her answer was simple: “He never turned on me.” He made terrible, illegal choices, but he never demeaned her, hid from her, or directed his failures at her. Ultimately, too many relationships dissolve – sometimes invisibly – because one partner slowly begins to turn against the other, chip away at their dignity, or demean them. In a crisis, if you turn on each other, destruction is guaranteed.

In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas sits down with Jeremy Harte — folklorist, winner of the Catherine Briggs Folklore Award, curator of Bourne Hall Museum in Surrey, and author of Cloven Country: The Devil in the English Landscape and Travelers Through Time: A Gypsy History — to discuss his remarkable new book Treasures on Earth: Buried Wealth in the English Landscape, published by Reaktion Books. Jeremy has spent his career chasing the uncanny side of the English landscape, and in this book he has gathered hundreds of treasure legends together for the first time — organizing them not by region or date but by emotion: memory, ruin, strife, terror, failure, and longing. The result is one of the most original and quietly brilliant books on English folklore in years, and the conversation it generates is irresistible: Why did people surround buried gold with dragons, black hens, and demons? What does the moment a laborer on the River Ribble accidentally uncovered a Viking army's war chest have in common with Oak Island? Why is the folklore always cruelest at the very last minute? What is the real fantasy underneath the search for treasure — not gold, but escape, freedom, and the dream of never having to work again? And what does the figure of Mackenzie Crook's Detectorists, swinging their machines over Essex fields and dreaming of Saxon gold, tell us about the ancient human urge that these legends have always mapped? Links Treasures on Earth by Jeremy Harte (Reaktion Books) Cloven Country: The Devil in the English Landscape by Jeremy Harte Travelers Through Time: A Gypsy History by Jeremy Harte Bourne Hall Museum, Ewell, Surrey The Cuerdale Hoard The Rillaton Cup Detectorists — Mackenzie Crook (BBC/AcornTV) Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways Treasure legends are not really about gold. They are, as Jeremy Harte argues throughout, about the emotions that surround gold — longing, memory, failure, terror, and the fantasy of transformation. The stories survived because of what they did to the people who told and heard them, not because of any actual buried wealth. The Cuerdale Hoard — the largest Viking silver hoard ever found in Britain, unearthed by laborers straightening the River Ribble in the 1840s — is one of the most powerful examples of how real treasure finds retrospectively generate legends. Almost all treasure "traditions" that seem to predict a find are only recorded after the find is made. The classic Anglo-Saxon image of the dragon sitting on a barrow of gold — doing nothing but guarding it forever, sacrificing whatever life a dragon might have — is, Jeremy argues, an early cultural articulation of what happens when treasure takes over a human life. The same psychology drives Oak Island today. Treasure guardians shift with the centuries — dragons and giants give way to fairies, then to demons, then to ghosts — not randomly but in response to what each era finds believable. A legend must sit in the zone between "obviously true" and "obviously made up" to function: too real and it's history, too fantastic and it's a fairy tale. The dissolution of the monasteries did not immediately generate treasure legends. It took fifty to a hundred years for the trauma to work its way into folklore — appearing in ghost monks, ruined abbey atmosphere, and stories of gold thrown into ponds or bricked up in tunnels. Society, like individuals, needs time to process collective shock before it becomes story. Mary Parrish, a "brandy-loving London cunning woman," and Goodwin Wharton, the gullible aristocrat she led on a years-long quest for fairy gold — documented entirely from Wharton's own obsessive diary — are perhaps the most human pair in the book. Wharton was simultaneously a reasonably successful MP, raised money from syndicates, and organized diving bells off the Scottish coast for Armada treasure. Jeremy describes their relationship as "a con, but also a love story." The folk cruelty of treasure legends — the fortune always snatched away by one tiny mistake, a single word spoken, one black hair on a white ox — is not random. These stories circulated among communities who had not done well for themselves. The unkindness of fate felt true to their experience. The treasure was always just out of reach because that was always true. The real fantasy of treasure, Jeremy argues, is not wealth but escape — to become a gentleman, meaning someone visibly unencumbered by the need to work. The problem for many of the poor communities generating these legends was that even if they found a single coin, they could not spend it without someone asking where it came from. Less than 10% of records are digital — a parallel to archaeology, where the vast majority of objects are still in the ground. Metal detectorists and archaeologists have more in common than either entirely admits: both are animated by the same desire to find something and to validate themselves through the finding. The difference is in what they're willing to record and share. The book closes with the gardener at Wallingford who dug for buried treasure in his spare time until one day they found a fresh hole, his spade and gloves beside it, and the man himself was never seen again. Jeremy chose this image deliberately: "It was almost like, if I'd been giving a talk, it would have been time for me to wave bye-bye and disappear behind a curtain." Soundbites "Treasure is so potent it doesn't have to exist to destabilize human life. Most of the hordes in the book will never be found because they were never there." — Jeremy on the central argument of the book. "You find an Iron Age gold coin and it was — if it had been anything else, it would have been archaeology. It was the gold that made that different emotive feeling. And I thought I ought to be exploring that a bit." — Jeremy on the moment in the dried-out lake that started it all. "Think about the Anglo-Saxon dragon. He does nothing but guard gold, and sacrifices whatever a dragon life would be to just sit there forever in the darkness on the treasure. I thought, yeah, there is a common theme here." — Jeremy on why Oak Island and the dragon barrow are the same story. "It has to be the kind of thing you can announce in the pub and there will be a lively discussion with people banging down their pints and going, well bits of it could be true. It has to sit in that zone — too real and it's just history, too fantastic and it's a fairy tale." — Jeremy on what makes a legend work. "Mary Parrish — we have an entirely one-sided record. Goodwin Wharton was the literary half of the partnership. He even organized diving bells to try to dig up the treasure of the Armada off the coast of Scotland. And at the same time he is a fairly successful MP making his way up in government. Leading me to wonder what secrets might possibly lie in the diaries of some of our present members." — Jeremy on the Mary Parrish and Goodwin Wharton story. "People telling stories about lost treasure — the poorer the community, the more likely they are to be doing it. There's a sense of the unkindness of fate. People who had mastered fate and done quite well for themselves were sitting in the other corner and not contacting the gentleman with the story." — Jeremy on why treasure legends cluster around poverty. "The dissolution of the monasteries is recorded historically, basically day by day. What happened to the stuff is pretty well recorded. But it's not until well into the seventeenth century that you get the tropes of the monastic ghost, the buried treasures, the ghost monks. It took fifty to a hundred years for the trauma to work its way into folklore." — Jeremy on how collective trauma becomes legend. "The fantasy is to become a gentleman. Gentlemen are conspicuously visible in the countryside as people who wander around having no apparent need to work at anything whatsoever. Which of course is why they can go around collecting folk tales." — Jeremy on the real dream underneath treasure hunting. "When I actually go on site, my skepticism rolls away after about five miles walking. And I'm like, ooh, let's just have a quick look underneath here. There's a patch of dirt here. Let's just check. And I thought it'd be terribly embarrassing if I did actually find a hoard of gold. It's like — yeah, publicity exercise." — Jeremy's most English answer to whether he believes any treasure is really out there. "He'd disappeared and it was almost like, if I'd been giving a talk, it would have been time for me to wave bye-bye and disappear behind a curtain and go out the back." — Jeremy on why he ended the book with the vanishing gardener of Wallingford.

Rich Pzena, founder of $80bn AUM Pzena Investment Management, explains his value investing philosophy and how he built a deep value franchise by buying good businesses when they are deeply out of favour. He talks through recreating Benjamin Graham's net net research at Wharton, leaving a secure role at Bernstein to start his own firm, surviving ten quarters of brutal underperformance in the dot com bubble and how he nearly sold out but was persuaded to continue by Joel Greenblatt. Rich explains his clear framework for what makes a good business, how to judge if problems are temporary, and why most investors systematically misprice uncertainty and cyclicality. He thinks deep value investing is just commonsense.

He's now co-founder of the consumer venture studio Idea Farm Ventures. In this episode, we discuss: Why the same person makes different purchases depending on where they live How four college students' "nutty idea" became Warby Parker Why the customers your local store ignores can become your best customers Why a failed meal-kit startup accidentally proved a rule about demand How a founder turned a boring hand sanitizer into a ten-dollar status symbol Why AI can now replicate a $100,000 market research study for almost nothing This episode is for anyone building — or dreaming of building — their own brand, product, or side hustle, and who wants to understand why people really open their wallets. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS Note: Timestamps may vary slightly depending on dynamic ad placements.

Ghost and CannCon pull up a chair in the Badlands for chapter 54, and this one is a doozy. We're back in the neon-soaked 1980s and 90s, when a young, Wharton-fresh Donald Trump muscled into Atlantic City with three casinos, a suspiciously fast gambling license, and a knack for never quite getting his hands dirty. The guys dig into the concrete cartel, the Gambino and Genovese crews, Roy Cohn's mentorship, and a genuinely eyebrow-raising FBI memorandum from 1981 that puts Trump in a room with federal agents before he was ever "the Donald." Was he an informant the whole time? CannCon makes his case. Expect mobsters, honey pots, Ready Mix concrete trivia you didn't know you needed, and a theory or two about a certain Epstein connection. High on intrigue, light on tinfoil. Come for the history, stay for the plot twists.

#731: What if the best way to test a new hire wasn't a resume, but a two-hour breakfast? One CEO built his entire hiring process around it — and it worked. Lorraine Marchand spent three decades in leadership roles at companies like IBM, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and LabCorp, and interviewed more than 120 CEOs for her book on what actually makes teams innovate. Now she teaches at Wharton and Columbia Business School, and in this episode she joins Paula to share what really works. In this episode, we discuss: How one CEO used a casual team breakfast to test whether a new hire was the right fit before they came on board A simple three-question test to figure out if a bad job culture is fixable, or if it's time to start looking elsewhere Why a weekly 30-minute habit of talking about what's not working can make a team stronger How to network your way into opportunities early in your career, even if you're worried AI will replace you first What new research on memory loss and heavy AI use means for how you should be using these tools How to protect your job in your 50s and 60s as companies push AI adoption on everyone Where Marchand thinks the next wave of entrepreneurial opportunity is actually hiding (hint: it's not another app) Whether you're building a team from scratch, trying to decide if a toxic job is worth fixing, or just trying to use AI without losing your edge, this episode gives you practical takeaways you can put to use right away. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS Note: Timestamps may vary slightly depending on dynamic ad placements.

Join Gideon Nave, Associate Professor of Marketing at Wharton, and Steven Shaw, postdoctoral researcher, as they unpack their influential work on 'system three' cognition—the idea of AI as an artificial thinking system. They explain the distinction between cognitive offloading and the deeper dangers of cognitive surrender when humans rely too fully on AI, and reveal both the improvements and risks this shift poses for our reasoning and critical thinking. Drawing from empirical research, the episode explores strategies for intentional AI use, the psychological and ethical implications for society, and why calibrated trust and thoughtful guardrails are now essential in automated decision-making.

Cat McGinn, industry commentator and the founder of Liminal and Co, joins Darren to discuss the structural problems with how the advertising industry is using artificial intelligence. While AI promises creative abundance and more originality, it is instead delivering creative convergence and more of the same. They explore why AI acts as a "stochastic parrot," predicting patterns based on past human content and biases, which ultimately regresses output toward the average rather than generating true ideas. The conversation delves into the cognitive science behind this phenomenon, referencing Wharton's System Three model and the dangerous rise of "cognitive surrender," where high trust in AI leads creatives to adopt faulty outputs with minimal scrutiny. To combat this, they discuss how the best use of AI requires systems thinking, taste, and introducing deliberate productive friction instead of simply offloading the effort of thinking. Finally, they offer an optimistic reframing of creativity as a wild, divergent problem-solving practice. Instead of asking how to make campaigns slightly faster and cheaper, Cat urges the industry to ask what problems can now be solved that couldn't before.

A carpenter by trade, Zackery went from using no AI at all to running a custom preconstruction AI system built inside Claude Cowork, all in the space of nine months.Discussion Highlights:From Carpenter to AI Builder: How spotting a LinkedIn post from Turner Construction's head of AI development pushed him to teach himself AI through YouTube and six months of trial and error.Bid Leveling, Almost Automatic: Saving every subcontractor's exclusions and assumptions so the system flags anything outside their normal boilerplate.Scope Generation at 95% Accuracy: The trickier workflow to crack, from early chats that hallucinated scope to a system that now finds almost everything he looks for.Knowledge Retention in MD Files: Years of carpentry, flooring, and millwork knowledge written into files Claude reads before generating scope, picking up items that are technically there but not actually on the drawings.Client Proposals in Two Minutes: How AI pulls awarded subcontractor proposals and generated scope into a 10 to 15 page client-facing proposal that used to take five hours.Where It's Heading: One estimator managing multiple AI workflows instead of five or six, the adoption hurdles that will hold AI back in construction, and why the companies that own their data will thrive.And much, much more.You can connect with Zackery via his Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zackery-batt-98643a393/

In Part Two of our series on the dark history of Wharton County, we examine three more haunting cases that continue to leave families searching for answers.The episode begins in Ganado, Texas, with the unsolved 1999 murder of beloved English teacher Jean Schoeneberg. A respected educator known for her high standards and daily morning walks, Jean was found brutally murdered along a quiet rural road near her home. Despite decades of investigation, DNA testing, and renewed leads, her killer has never been identified.Next, we explore the 2014 disappearance of Mitchelle Deborah Hicks, a 25-year-old mother of two who vanished after leaving a residence in Wharton. Investigators believe she may have been taken against her will, but more than a decade later, few details have been released publicly, and her family is still waiting for answers.Finally, we follow the remarkable identification of Wharton County Jane Doe, whose skeletal remains were discovered in a remote field in 2021. For four years she had no name, until advances in forensic genetic genealogy revealed she was sixteen-year-old Yeimy Maciela Beltrand. Her identification led investigators to name a suspect in her murder, but he fled before he could be arrested and remains a fugitive.These cases span more than twenty-five years, yet they share the same painful reality: families whose lives were forever changed, investigations that remain incomplete, and the enduring hope that someone, somewhere, still knows the truth.If you have any information about the murder of Jean Schoeneberg or the whereabouts of Luis Omar Beltran-Mendoza, suspected in the murder of Yeimy Maciela Beltrand, please contact the Wharton County Sheriff's Office at (979) 532-1550.If you have any information about the disappearance of Mitchelle Deborah Hicks, please call the Wharton Police Department at (979) 532-3131.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

How does GMAT's new ‘Superscore' change things for b-school applicants?
For more than 150 years, Wharton County, Texas, has been shaped by both prosperity and violence. In the first installment of this special series, we trace the county's darker history: from racial terror and vigilante justice in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to two heartbreaking crimes in modern times that forever changed the community.In 1988, 24-year-old Juana Velasquez Moreno was brutally murdered while opening the Kwik Chek convenience store where she worked. For decades, her family believed the investigation had simply gone cold, only to later discover that a suspect had twice been indicted for her murder without their knowledge.Just over two years later, fifteen-year-old Rosemary Diaz vanished while working alone at a small country store in Danevang. Twenty-five years passed before long-hidden secrets led investigators to her grave, finally revealing what happened on the night she disappeared.This episode explores how violence has echoed across generations in Wharton County, where justice has never necessarily prevailed, sometimes failed, and sometimes arrived far too late.If you have any information about the murder of Sanjuana Velasquez Moreno, please contact the Wharton County Sheriff's Office at (979) 532-1550.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.com Follow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

What happens when the very things that make you different become your greatest strengths?For Fitzann “Fitz” Reid, showing up fully, taking calculated risks, and creating opportunities where none existed before have been defining themes throughout her career.A lawyer, investor, entrepreneur, sports owner, and leader, Fitz has built a career that defies traditional expectations. From growing up in South Jamaica, Queens, as the daughter of Jamaican immigrants to serving at the highest levels of the SEC, helping launch Hunterbrook, and investing in professional sports, she has consistently chosen growth over comfort and possibility over convention.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Fitz and Paula explore what it means to build a career intentionally rather than simply following the path laid out for you. They discuss the power of sponsorship, the leadership lessons learned through sports, the responsibility that comes with visibility, and the confidence required to remain authentic in spaces that were not always designed with you in mind. Fitz also shares her experiences as a Black queer woman and a first-generation Jamaican-American, and how those experiences have informed her perspective while never limiting the scope of who she is or what she can accomplish.The conversation covers career pivots, entrepreneurship, investing, leadership, and personal branding through the lens of someone who has repeatedly stepped into unfamiliar spaces and found ways to succeed. Fitz's story is a reminder that growth often requires courage, that visibility creates possibility for others, and that some of the most meaningful opportunities appear long before there is certainty about the outcome. Her approach to life and work demonstrates the value of trusting yourself, staying open to possibility, and being willing to take the first step before you have every answer.1:26 – Fitzann's personal brand definition and why she describes herself as authentic, relentless, and empathetic4:20 – Why a Bryan Stevenson (director of Equal Justice Initiative) quote that hangs on Fitz's wall made such an impression7:43 – How Fitz learned independence and resilience as a kid growing up in South Jamaica, Queens 10:25 – How being a first-generation Jamaican American has influenced Fitz's leadership and ambition13:02 – The weight of responsibility often facing children of immigrants and how Paula conveyed that to her kids14:25 – How Fitz has navigated her career and assumed leadership positions as a Black, queer woman in industries often lacking diversity19:05 – How her background in sports has played a major role in Fitz's leadership style22:38 – How Fitz stood her ground against conforming in law school and grew her confidence over time31:45 – Fitz outlines her career trajectory, from an early interest in politics and law school to buying an Italian basketball team and building Hunterbrook39:02 – How that initial sports investment opened up bigger doors of opportunity41:00 – How Fitz has been intentional about building her brand while navigating her career44:32 – The root of Fitz's personal and strategic interest in women's sports, and investment opportunities still available48:10 – Why advocacy through the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association is so important to Fitz51:48 – Why Fitz will never compromise on how she shows up, and the magic she offers to others53:41 – The importance of treating your difference from others as a superpower, not a disadvantageConnect With Fitzann ReidFitzann “Fitz” Reid is a partner, general counsel, and chief compliance officer at Hunterbook, a startup media company and hedge fund. She's also an avid sports investor and co-founder of Vera West Sports and Entertainment. Before Hunterbrook, she spent the bulk of her career in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at the highest levels, serving across Examinations and Enforcement as well as Senior Counsel to Commissioner Allison Lee. Then she moved on to become the Chief Compliance Officer and Deputy General Counsel at impact-focused hedge fund Engine No 1. Her work spanned rulemaking, enforcement, litigation, whistleblowers, and on-site examinations of registrants, including broker-dealers, investment advisers, private fund advisers, and mutual funds.Fitzann has a BBA from Pace University, an MBA from Wharton at UPenn, and a JD from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, where she later taught federal regulations and enforcement as an Adjunct Professor. Off the clock, she serves on several boards, including the National LGBTQ Plus Bar Association, and is registered with the state bar in D.C. and New York.Fitzann Reid on LinkedInHunterbrook | Instagram | X | TikTok | YouTubeMentioned In Authenticity, Ambition, and Betting on Yourself with Fitzann ReidEqual Justice InitiativeNational LGBTQ+ Bar AssociationCurated Resources from PaulaSign up for Paula's Upcoming Events Learn More About Paula's Personal Branding Strategy Session OfferSubscribe to The Branding Room Only podcast on YouTubeCall to ActionFollow & Review: Help others find the podcast.

In this episode, I sit down with Paul Hynek — entrepreneur, futurist, Wharton MBA, and Adjunct Professor of Finance at Pepperdine University. Paul is the son of legendary astronomer and UFO researcher Dr. J. Allen Hynek, creator of the Close Encounter classification system and the real figure behind History Channel's Project Blue Book. Paul has built a remarkable career of his own at the cutting edge of technology, cryptocurrency, virtual production, and startups — including playing a key role in the sale of Giant Studios to James Cameron for Avatar, launching the world's first children's online service with Bill Gates, and creating EZ Numbers, the financial projections software that has raised over $1 billion for thousands of startups. A frequent speaker at South by Southwest, Harvard, and Wharton, Paul is also a pioneering longevity researcher — one of the first people in the world to regrow his thymus gland in an FDA-approved life extension trial. Woven through all of it is a lifelong fascination with UFOs, DMT, consciousness, and the nature of reality — a path that led him, in his own words, to believe that disclosure won't come from a government podium, but from direct experience itself.

Sandro Tonali to Spurs has split the fanbase. Is he the deep-lying playmaker we've been crying out for? Or is he a £100m Bentancur replacement? In this week's Scouting Room, Enya Collins (data) and JJ (eye test, A-licence coach) break Tonali down on every metric that matters and answer the question the rest of Spurs YouTube isn't quite getting to. The verdict: Tonali is half of the midfield rebuild. Without a Stiller-or-Wharton signing to follow, the squad still has the same problem it had before. Plus: Enya's contrarian close on the squad building, and Jim's ruthless take on what Spurs need to stop being sentimental about. #KeepItLilyWhite #OhSo33 Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we talk test waivers, optional essays, and how big-ticket charitable gifts shape scholarship funding.
I recorded this episode in the middle of one of the most emotional weeks of my life. My daughter Cora was three days from graduating high school, and I found myself at backyard parties where the conversation kept drifting to the same familiar places: the weather, work, the kids.And I felt that quiet ache I believe so many of us are carrying right now. The longing for something deeper. More real. More connected.So that's what today's episode is about: how we find the courage to have more connection.Something Is ShiftingBecause I think we all feel it. This quiet ache underneath the busyness of our lives. We reach for our phones in line for coffee instead of turning to the person next to us. We text instead of call. We scroll instead of sit. We show up to gatherings and perform a version of ourselves the edited, polished, “I'm fine” version instead of actually arriving in all our beautiful messiness.And from this? We feel less connected. More lonely. More invisible.Here's what I've learned in 25 years as a therapist: loneliness isn't about being alone. You can be surrounded by people at a party, in a marriage, in an office full of colleagues and still feel profoundly unseen. The opposite of loneliness isn't proximity. It's depth.And the data tells us loneliness is worse for your health than smoking, obesity, or high blood pressure. Anxiety and depression are the highest ever, and we are more likely to die from feeling lonely. The epidemic is real.But here's what I know after 25 years of sitting with people in my office: loneliness is not the problem. It's the symptom. Connection is the medicine. And the prescription? COURAGE.The courage to ask a real question. To say the true thing. To let someone love you back. So here are the four pillars of courage to create more connection and therefore more LOVE.The Four Pillars of Courage for Connection✨1. Ask for HelpHere's the thing about asking for help: we avoid it because we think it makes us look weak or like a burden. A Harvard and Wharton study found the number one reason people don't ask for help: it makes us feel incompetent.But here's what the research actually shows. When you ask someone for help, they see you as more competent. They trust you more. And this is the part I love so much: they feel like they matter.I have been a therapist for decades, and I still feel resistance every single time I walk into my own therapist's office. But this week, in the middle of all the graduation chaos, I asked a couple of friends for help. And I felt the weight lift. I wasn't just giving love anymore. I was letting people give me love back.Next time someone asks how you're doing, try this instead of “fine”:“I've been wrestling with something lately. Can I get your take on it?”“Honestly, I could use some advice. I've been dealing with something hard.”Watch what happens to their face. Watch their eyes change. You just told them they have something real to offer you. You just allowed them to love you.✨2. Be AuthenticI know authenticity gets thrown around so much it almost loses its meaning. So here's what I actually mean by it: tell the truth. Not the highlight reel, not the LinkedIn version. The real one.I was on a walk with a dear friend recently, and I could feel she'd been carrying something heavy for months. I kept holding back, not wanting to push. But finally I said: “I see something going on with you. I feel like you're carrying something hard. Can I be here for you?”She was honest. She cried. And then I could share my own fears about Cora leaving for college. We walked away closer than we'd been in years.Try slipping one of these into your next conversation:“What's been the hardest part of your week?”“If you're being totally honest, how are you?”People might pause. It might get a little uncomfortable. The Buddhists teach that we need to get comfortable with the uncomfortable.✨3. Make ChangeYes, the world is noisy. Yes, our phones, schedules, and the general chaos of life are real. But we still get to choose where we spend our time and if we want to connect on a deeper level.It is our responsibility to create the rituals, the invitations, the conversations for more connection. A month ago I challenged myself to walk up to a table of strangers, young, hip, athletic mountain bikers, and ask if they'd be on my podcast. My heart was pounding. But when I did, they looked up. They smiled. They felt seen.And at a graduation party recently, I stopped a new friend and said, “I'm challenging myself to go deeper at these parties. So here's my question: in a year from now, what do you want to be celebrating?”We both got quiet. Then she said: “I want to be celebrating that I don't worry as much. That I've let go of the weight I carry around my kids and my divorce. That I'm finally celebrating who I am.”That is the kind of conversation that stays with you. That's the one you remember.✨4. Be in Service: Show Up to See, Not Just to Be SeenMost of us walk into a room carrying some version of the same quiet anxiety: Do I look okay? Will people like me? Am I enough? You are not alone in that. I feel it every time too.But what if you walked in with just one question in your heart:“Who in this room needs to feel less alone today?”That is the shift. That is everything. When you become the person who asks the real questions, who listens without fixing, who makes eye contact and says “tell me more,” you become magnetic. Not because you performed well. Because you made someone feel like they mattered.Some of my favorite questions to bring to any gathering:“What's something you wish more people asked you about?”“What's the best thing that's happened to you in the last month?”“How do you want to live?”I heard that last one recently from a son speaking at his father's funeral. I haven't stopped thinking about it since.This Is the MomentWe keep waiting for the right time to have the real conversation. The right setting. The right moment. The right person to go first.There is no right time. This is the moment.By the time you read this, Cora has already graduated. The cap, the gown, the ugly crying it's all happened. And I can tell you that the conversations I will carry from this season are not the ones about the weather. They're the ones where someone looked me in the eye and asked something real.At your next gathering, be the one who goes first. Ask the brave question. Sit with the pause. Put down your phone and let it go somewhere.The world doesn't need more small talk. It needs more of you the real, brave, loving, beautifully messy, imperfect you.That is the magicxoLots of love, Molly
Spurs' biggest gap isn't up front, it's the controller in midfield. Enya Collins ranks the five players who could fix it. After calling Van Hecke and Bohoya before either link broke, Enya turns to the deep-lying playmaker Tottenham haven't had in years. The five: Nico Gonzalez, Alex Garcia, Manuel Loccatelli, Angelo Stiller, Adam Wharton — and why one of them might quietly be the right answer over the obvious pick. Plus: why Enya took three weeks off watching Spurs last season. #KeepItLilyWhite #OhSo33 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Most executives never run the math on what it really costs to stay in a career that no longer fits. They calculate what leaving would cost them, the income, the title, the security they've spent fifteen or twenty years building, but they almost never run the numbers on what staying is already taking from them. In Part 3 of our Executive Career Change series, you'll see what the math actually looks like, including the four real costs of staying that compound year after year, the data on what really happens to income after a structured executive career change, and the three questions that surface the truth for almost every executive we've worked with. The salary you've been protecting becomes something you've been paying for. And once you see what staying actually costs you, the math of leaving looks completely different. What you'll learn: The four real costs of staying in a career that no longer fits, including the identity loss that almost no executive sees coming until it's too late What the Wharton data actually shows about income recovery after an executive career change, and why "leaving will cost you forever" is almost always wrong Why the income math of staying isn't safe, it's a slow leak most people never count The three questions our team uses to surface what's actually going on for executives stuck in the trap Why the first real move isn't the resignation or the announcement, it's something simpler and more important Our book, Happen To Your Career: An Unconventional Approach To Career Change and Meaningful Work, is now available on audiobook!

What if luck is not random, but designed? In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Peter Winick sits down with Judd Kessler, Wharton professor and author of "Lucky by Design: The Hidden Economics You Need to Get More of What You Want." Judd's work brings market design out of the academic journal and into daily life. He studies the hidden systems that determine who gets access, who gets opportunity, and who gets left waiting. These systems are everywhere. School programs. Job assignments. Consulting projects. Ticketing platforms. Government services. Nonprofit resources. Even your own time and attention. Judd's thought leadership gives leaders a new lens. First, see the market. Then understand the rules. Then decide whether those rules are helping or hurting the outcomes you want. For organizations, this is not theoretical. Poorly designed internal markets create frustration, waste, and inequity. Better rules can improve allocation, retention, performance, and trust. Peter and Judd explore how a book can move academic insight into practical use. They also dig into the harder work after publication: building an audience, entering the cultural conversation, and turning expertise into influence. This conversation is a sharp look at how thought leadership scales when it makes invisible systems visible. And when it gives people the tools to redesign them. Three Key Takeaways: • See the hidden market. Many opportunities are shaped by invisible systems, from school programs and job assignments to access, attention, and scarce resources. • Design better rules. Poorly built systems create frustration, waste, and unfairness. Better rules lead to smarter outcomes. • Make ideas practical. Strong thought leadership turns complex concepts into tools people and organizations can actually use. If this conversation made you think differently about the hidden rules that shape behavior, go back and listen to our episode with Luke Battye. Both episodes explore how people make decisions inside systems they often do not see. Judd Kessler looks at hidden markets, scarcity, and the rules that determine who gets what. Luke Battye looks at behavior change, design thinking, and how small shifts in context can change what people do next. Together, these episodes give you a sharper lens for understanding systems, incentives, and behavior. You'll walk away with practical ways to design better outcomes for customers, teams, and organizations.

Most people think crossing the line is a single decision. It's not. AJ sits down with Tom Hardin to unpack how small ethical compromises compound over time — and how pressure, ambition, and environment can quietly push anyone further than they ever expected. From feeling like an outsider at Wharton to navigating Wall Street culture, insider information, and the pull of status, this episode reveals how rationalization, incentives, and relationships shape behavior more than we think. It's a candid look at decision-making under pressure — and how quickly things can spiral when no one is asking hard questions.
