Stress has become the background noise of our lives—an endless hum that shapes our health, our relationships, and even how we see ourselves. But what if the story we've been told about stress and anxiety is incomplete? In this conversation, Danielle sits down with her dear friend Dr. Ellen Vora, board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, yoga teacher, and author of The Anatomy of Anxiety, to explore the truth about stress: what it really is, how it shows up in the body, and why healing has to go beyond “the neck up.” Together, they dive into: The difference between “true” anxiety and “false” anxiety How physical imbalances like blood sugar swings, poor sleep, and inflammation fuel stress Why women's cycles—and our culture's dismissal of them—play such a big role in how we experience anxiety The importance of saying no, slowing down, and creating spaciousness in a world that glorifies doing more How to preserve relationships with boundaries, compassion, and nuance Reclaiming dignity, presence, and a sense of calm in our modern lives Whether you're navigating parenthood, work, or just the day-to-day demands of modern life, this conversation is an invitation to rethink what stress means—and how to live with more resilience, compassion, and peace.

We're back with another episode of Graphic Support Group and we're filled with joy to share this one. Our guest Nontsikelelo Mutiti “is a Zimbabwean born designer, visual artist, and educator whose conceptual approach to design spans the mediums of print, moving-image, web design, fine art, and community engagement.” That introduction doesn't even begin to capture the breadth of wisdom that Nontsi shared with us. As the spring semester came to an end this past May (she is the current Chair of Director of Graduate Studies in Graphic Design at Yale University) the multidisciplinary designer spent a gracious couple of hours with us. Her words moved us through the many worlds and spaces she occupies in her life. The conversation helped Drew and I to re-think some ideas about Modernism, community and representation that admittedly had us in knots over the years. Sometimes the complexity of the world has a simpler, more honest solution. We're so happy to share this generous episode and hope it'll bring some joy to the beginning of the fall. We hope you all will find some joy in the episode and maybe consider becoming a dragon slayer.We R Here 4 U.

Could retrofitting existing diesel fleets be faster than waiting for electric alternatives?Paul Gross, CEO and co-founder of Remora, joins the podcast to discuss his company's revolutionary approach to mobile carbon capture technology. At just 28, Gross has raised $60 million to retrofit semi-trucks and locomotives with systems that capture up to 90% of CO2 emissions. Unlike traditional electrification efforts that struggle with heavy-duty transport, Remora's solution works with existing diesel fleets. "We wanted to take carbon capture from being this big over budget construction project to being this product that can be manufactured over and over again," Gross explains. The company turns captured CO2 into beverage-grade liquid carbon dioxide, addressing surprising market shortages. Can retrofitting existing transportation infrastructure accelerate decarbonization faster than waiting for full fleet replacement?Paul Gross is the CEO and co-founder of Remora, a pioneering carbon capture company that retrofits semi-trucks and locomotives with technology to capture up to 90% of CO2 emissions. At 28, Gross has already been named to Forbes 30 Under 30 and recently closed a $60 million Series B funding round. A Yale University graduate with a background in statistics and data science, Gross founded Remora in 2020 after recognizing that heavy-duty transportation sectors couldn't be easily electrified. Based in Detroit, he's leading efforts to commercialize mobile carbon capture technology, turning captured emissions into valuable liquid CO2 for food, beverage, and manufacturing industries while addressing critical supply shortages. In This Episode:  (00:00) Paul Gross background (03:35) Paul's journey from Yale to founding carbon capture company(07:35) Age of adoption story and carbon capture evolution(10:04) Transportation sector challenges with electrification alternatives(14:06) Economics and revenue model for carbon capture technology(17:08) Innovation and adoption happening simultaneously in climate techShare with someone who would enjoy this topic, like and subscribe to hear all of our future episodes, send us your comments and guest suggestions!About the show: The Age of Adoption podcast explores the monumental transition from a period of climate tech research and innovation – an Age of Innovation – to today's world in which companies across the economy are furiously adopting climate solutions - the Age of Adoption.

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of a fan favorite guest, psychic medium John Edward, but this time, he's joined by his co-author, retired FBI agent Robert Hilland. Together, this unlikely duo reveals the jaw-dropping story behind their new book, Chasing Evil, and how a skeptic FBI agent and a psychic forged a 25-year partnership solving cold cases. Together, they dive into the behind-the-scenes work on cases like the infamous John Smith disappearances, the Yale University murder of Annie Lee, and what it was like to keep their collaboration secret for decades. From undercover setups with planted evidence to shocking confirmations that no one could have predicted, John and Robert share how they built trust across two very different worlds. PLUS, John opens up about the unexpected healing this work gave him, forcing him to reconcile with his late father's skepticism and recognize unresolved grief with his mom. This isn't just about crime-solving; it's about learning to trust yourself, embracing the unexplainable, and finding validation in the most unlikely places… you don't want to miss this one! Tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Intuition can reveal what evidence can't. John and Robert show how psychic insight uncovered missing clues and validated leads in real FBI cold cases. Skepticism can shift into trust. A veteran FBI agent went from doubting John to relying on him for over 25 years, proving the power of keeping an open mind. Healing comes from facing the truth. John shares how this unlikely partnership also helped him process unresolved pain with his parents and find deeper self-acceptance. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychicmediumje/?hl=en  Website: https://johnedward.net/  Evolve+: http://www.evolveplusTV.com  Book (Chasing Evil): https://a.co/d/clIbfaD  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

We know employers want creative thinkers. We know creative thinking is necessary to solve the problems we see everywhere in our world. We know we want our students to learn to be more creative.  But what does that mean exactly? Where does the science of creativity meet the cultural definition we all build for ourselves just by swimming in the 21st century stream? My guest today is Dr. Zorana Ivcevic Pringle. Let me share her bio with you: "With more than 25 years as a scientist studying creativity, Zorana brings insights into the nature of the creative process, from the first decision to engage with new ideas to its culmination in creative performances and products. She is a scientist at Yale University, author, and speaker. Zorana's work has been featured in the Harvard Business Review, ArtNet, US News, Education Week, Science Daily, El Pais, and others, and she is a regular contributor to Psychology Today and Creativity Post.” Today, we're talking about how science defines creativity, and how research shows us we can guide our students - and ourselves - to develop more creative confidence. You'll learn what's important in designing your space, launching and building creative units,  speaking with students about the hurdles that get in their path, and assessing creative work in a way that's meaningful for student development along the way, not just at the end. Honestly, I started Zorana's book, The Creativity Choice, searching for everything I could find to help me understand classroom creativity better. But I finished with fresh ideas not only for constructing curriculum and classroom spaces, but also for how I tackle projects, run my company, and talk to my own children about their ideas.

What if the biggest environmental culprits were hiding in plain sight—right on our dinner plates? While most environmental organizations train their sights on the energy sector, Mighty Earth has taken a bold, and often lonely, stand in confronting the meat industry's massive role in climate change, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. In this episode, I sit down with Glenn Hurowitz, founder and CEO of Mighty Earth, to unpack why the meat industry typically gets ignored by the environmental movement, and what he thinks needs to be done. Glenn has spent decades fighting for the planet, from working on federal public policy in Congress to launching powerful corporate campaigns that aim to guide the world's largest food companies toward more sustainable practices. In our conversation, he explains why mainstream NGOs often shy away from challenging the meat industry, and how Mighty Earth's strategy—focusing on supply chains, corporate accountability, and the expansion of animal-free proteins—aims to fill that void. We also dive into Mighty Earth's campaign to help supermarkets treat plant-based proteins not as niche novelties, but as core offerings. Glenn shares how enhanced meat products (think burgers that are part beef, part mycelium) can be a bigger environmental win than pure plant-based options alone, and why shifting market incentives—not just consumer behavior—is key to making real progress. If you care about climate action, animal welfare, or food innovation, this episode may challenge you to think bigger—and act smarter—about what it really takes to feed humanity sustainably. Discussed in this episode Glenn and Paul recommend the good work of Food Solutions Action. Our past episode with author Mike Grunwald.

Shoot us a text!Today marks the 55th anniversary of the Chicano Moratorium March, a movement of Chicano anti-war activists that built a broad-based coalition of Mexican-American groups to organize opposition to the Vietnam War. Led by activists from local colleges and members of the Brown Berets, a group with roots in the high school student movement that staged walkouts in 1968, the coalition peaked with an August 29, 1970 march in East Los Angeles that drew 30,000 demonstrators. The march was described by scholar Lorena Oropeza as "one of the largest assemblages of Mexican Americans ever." It was the largest anti-war action taken by any single ethnic group in the USA. It was second in size only to the massive U.S. immigration reform protests of 2006.  Your Hosts:Kurly Tlapoyawa is an archaeologist, ethnohistorian, and filmmaker.

In the next 25 years, the International Organization for Migration estimates that one billion people will be displaced from their homes due to climate-related events. From island nations underwater to inland areas too hot and extreme to sustain life, the individuals and communities in these areas will need somewhere new to live. Where will these people go, and how will this mass migration add further pressure to the stability of nations and the world?  In this episode, Nate is joined by environmental and migration historian, Sunil Amrith, to explore the complex history of human movement – and what it reveals about the looming wave of climate-driven migration. Sunil explains how the historical record shows migration has always been a defining feature of human life, not an exception. Together, they examine projections for future migration trends and the urgent need for acceptance, planning, and infrastructure to support the integration of new communities. What lessons can we draw from past environmental crises that forced people to move, and how do today's challenges overlap or differ? How have countries historically responded to large-scale migration, and what long-term impacts did those choices have on their stability and prosperity? Ultimately, how might a more open and welcoming mindset help us face the unprecedented migrations ahead, as well as transform them into opportunities for survival, resilience, and shared thriving? (Conversation recorded on August 14th, 2025)     About Sunil Amrith: Sunil Amrith is the Renu and Anand Dhawan Professor of History at Yale University, with a secondary appointment as Professor at the Yale School of the Environment. He is the current Henry R. Luce Director of the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale. Sunil's research focuses on the movements of people and the ecological processes that have connected South and Southeast Asia, and has expanded to encompass global environmental history. He has published in the fields of environmental history, the history of migration, and the history of public health. Sunil's most recent book The Burning Earth, an environmental history of the modern world that foregrounds the experiences of the Global South, was named a 2024 “essential read” by The New Yorker, and a “book we love” 2024 by NPR. Additionally, Sunil's four previous books include Unruly Waters and Crossing the Bay of Bengal: The Furies of Nature and the Fortunes of Migrants.    Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

But Flower Turbines, led by CEO and Founder Dr. Daniel Farb, is bringing wind power innovation to urban spaces, making it more accessible and efficient than ever before.At the heart of this transformation is what Daniel calls the “cluster effect” or “bouquet effect.” This patented technology allows small wind turbines to enhance each other's performance when placed together. “Each turbine that you add to a group makes the whole group perform better,” Daniel explained during today's episode. “If you have two turbines, they perform 50 percent better than if you had two separate ones… Four turbines, it's double the amount of power.”This unique capability doesn't just improve efficiency—it makes wind energy viable in more places, from urban rooftops to residential neighborhoods that typically couldn't accommodate traditional large-scale turbines. Daniel's tulip-shaped designs are compact, quiet, and visually appealing, making them a perfect fit for densely populated areas.Flower Turbines is also scaling beyond technology development into project financing. The company recently launched a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign via Honeycomb Credit, raising $250,000 in a single week. The campaign aims to fund larger installations of these turbine clusters, offering investors the opportunity to earn dividends from specific green energy projects. “This is the first time that it's available for wind,” Daniel said, emphasizing the importance of democratizing access to clean energy investment.The urgency of this work is clear. Federal subsidies for renewable energy are set to expire soon, making cost-effective technologies like Flower Turbines' cluster effect essential for the industry's future. “What we're doing is reducing the cost of electricity at the point of use,” Daniel noted, highlighting the practical benefits of deploying turbines where energy is consumed.This innovative approach not only helps Flower Turbines expand its impact but also provides everyday people with a meaningful way to support and profit from the transition to clean energy.If you're interested in learning more about Flower Turbines or investing in this groundbreaking opportunity, visit s4g.biz/flower to explore the details.tl;dr:Flower Turbines' cluster effect technology boosts efficiency, making small wind turbines viable in urban spaces.The company has raised over $17 million and is scaling projects with a crowdfunding campaign.Daniel highlighted the importance of developing technology that works without relying on subsidies.Regulated crowdfunding allows investors to earn dividends from specific green energy projects.Daniel's superpower, persistence, helped him overcome early financial challenges to build Flower Turbines.How to Develop Persistence As a SuperpowerWhen asked about his superpower, Daniel described persistence as his defining quality. “If I believe in something, I'll do it,” he said, reflecting on his commitment to Flower Turbines. He also highlighted the importance of resilience during tough times, sharing that persistence often requires faith. Whether facing financial uncertainty or the challenges of scaling a new technology, Daniel's steadfast belief in his mission has been the cornerstone of his success.Illustrative Story:In the early days of Flower Turbines, Daniel often faced financial uncertainty while growing the company. He recalled authorizing purchases for inventory, not knowing if there would be enough money the following week. Despite these nerve-wracking moments, he relied on faith and persistence to move forward. His ability to endure those challenges enabled him to raise funds, develop over 30 patents, and establish Flower Turbines as a leader in small-scale wind energy.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Cultivate self-discipline through activities that challenge you physically or mentally, such as sports or academics.Set clear goals to maintain focus during challenges.Develop resilience by embracing tough times as opportunities for growth.Practice faith in your vision, even when the path forward is unclear.Learn to balance persistence with flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances.By following Daniel's example and advice, you can make persistence a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDr. Daniel Farb (he/him):CEO and Founder, Flower TurbinesAbout Flower Turbines: Flower Turbines is an innovative small wind turbine company with the ambition to become a major global force in renewable energy. With over 30 patents, the company has solved the technology and design problems holding small wind back from being as large an industry as solar.

In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I sit down with Dr. Philip A. Glotzbach, former President of Skidmore College, philosopher, and passionate advocate for the liberal arts, to talk about how students can get the most out of their college experience — and why it's about far more than getting a job. His latest book, Embrace Your Freedom: Winning Strategies to Succeed in College and in Life, is both a practical guide and a philosophical invitation to use higher education as a launchpad for a meaningful life. His message: Embrace freedom. Your college years are a time to be curious, explore ideas, build relationships, and learn to love freedom. A Life in Education and Leadership Dr. Glotzbach's journey began at the University of Notre Dame, where he discovered a love for philosophy, and continued at Yale University, where he earned his Ph.D. and fell in love with teaching. After 15 years as a philosophy professor at Denison University, he moved into administration, eventually becoming President of Skidmore College for 17 years. Throughout his career, one question has guided him: What can we do to give students the best chance at a meaningful life? The answer, for him, blends intellectual development, personal responsibility, and civic engagement — themes woven into his convocation talks to new students, which eventually became the foundation for Embrace Your Freedom. Why College Is a One-Time Opportunity to Embrace Freedom College, Dr. Glotzbach says, is a singular moment in life — “you get one shot at being an undergraduate.” It's a time for “test-driving your adult self,” exploring big questions, and deciding what kind of person you want to be, as well as what kind of world you want to help create. Too often, students see college only as a steppingstone to employment. While preparing for a career matters, narrowing your focus too early shortens the shelf life of your skills. Today's graduates will likely change not just jobs but entire careers multiple times. The broader your education, the better equipped you'll be to adapt to an unpredictable future. Watch our podcast on YouTube here: From Negative Freedom to Positive Freedom One of the book's central ideas is the shift from “negative freedom” — the absence of external constraints — to “positive freedom,” which is about deciding what you will do with that freedom. Positive freedom requires embracing structure and responsibility to pursue meaningful goals. Dr. Glotzbach compares it to training for a marathon: you give up certain freedoms (like sleeping late) in exchange for the discipline that makes your goal achievable. In college, that means setting intentional objectives — for your courses, your extracurriculars, your relationships — and committing fully to them. Begin Now — And Begin Again If there's one mantra Dr. Glotzbach wants every student to remember, it's Begin now. Your college career doesn't start “later” — it starts the moment you arrive on campus. Don't wait for the second semester or sophomore year to get serious. That doesn't mean you won't face setbacks. Everyone stumbles. The key is to begin again — to get back up, recommit, and move forward. “The most important thing is not how many times you get knocked down,” he says, quoting Vince Lombardi, “but how many times you get back up.” The Liberal Arts Advantage for Embracing Freedom As a philosopher and liberal arts leader, Dr. Glotzbach believes deeply in the value of studying broadly. Liberal arts disciplines develop critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and the ability to synthesize perspectives — skills essential for solving the “wicked problems” of our time. One of his favorite quotes, from Horace Mann, is a call to action: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” For Dr. Glotzbach, college is a privilege held by a small percentage of the global population, and with that privilege comes a responsibility to contribute to the greater good. Relationships Over Transactions Dr. Glotzbach warns against treating college as an “educational ATM,” where you deposit tuition and withdraw a diploma. That transactional mindset robs you of the deeper value of the experience. College is about relationships — with people, with ideas, and with the skills you are developing. Friendships formed during college often become lifelong connections. These relationships — your first as an independent adult — are a key part of the transformation that happens during these years. Learning in the Age of AI Today's students must also navigate the opportunities and challenges of new technologies, including AI. While AI can be a powerful tool, relying on it too heavily during your studies can short-circuit the development of critical thinking and analytical skills. Dr. Glotzbach stresses the importance of reading and thinking critically — whether the material was written by a human 200 years ago or generated by AI yesterday. Advice for Students and Parents For students: approach college as a unique opportunity for growth. Be open to new ideas, seek out mentors, engage in campus life, and treat every class, project, and relationship as a chance to find meaning. For parents: remember that your child's education is not only about employment prospects but also about becoming a thoughtful, engaged, and adaptable human being. Get the Book Embrace Your Freedom: Winning Strategies to Succeed in College and in Life is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, and other major booksellers, as well as through Dr. Glotzbach's website: www.philipglotzbach.com. Whether you're a student, parent, educator, or simply someone who values lifelong learning, this book offers a thoughtful, inspiring, and practical guide to making the most of one of life's most important chapters.  Connect with me: Website: www.simonassociates.net Email: info@simonassociates.net Books:  Learn more about our books here: Rethink: Smashing the Myths of Women in Business Women Mean Business: Over 500 Insights from Extraordinary Leaders to Spark Your Success On the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights Listen + Subscribe: Available wherever you get your podcasts—Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, and more.

This week on Sinica, I'm delighted to be joined by Dan Wang, formerly of Gavekal Dragonomics and the Paul Tsai Law Center at Yale University, now with the Hoover Institute's History Lab. Dan's new book is Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future, and it's already one of the year's most talked-about books. In this conversation, we go beyond what's actually in the book to discuss the origins and implications of the Chinese "engineering state" — the world's biggest technocratic polity — and what the United States should and should not learn from China. We discuss how Dan's ideas sit with Abundance by Derek Thompson and Ezra Klein, and much more.

It is a message increasingly echoed from the nation's pulpits, presented as common-sense decency and virtue. Calls for “radical non-violence” are routinely endowed with the imprimatur of religious doctrine.   But what if such teachings were misguided, even damaging? What if the potential of a citizenry to exercise force against violent criminals and tyrannical governments is not just compatible with church teaching, but flows from the very heart of Biblical faith and reason? What if the freedoms we treasure are intimately tied to the power to resist violent coercion?  This is the long-overdue case John Zmirak makes with stunning clarity and conviction in No Second Amendment, No First. A Yale-educated journalist and former college professor, Zmirak shows how the right of self-defense against authoritarian government was affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments, is implied in Natural Law, and has been part of Church tradition over the centuries.   -------------------------------------------------------------------- 

August 24, 394. On the walls of a fading Egyptian temple, a priest carves what will become the last known hieroglyph in history. At the same moment, in Alexandria, a fiery archbishop named Theophilus is rising to power. He mocks the ancient Egyptian gods, desecrates their temples, and sets out to stamp out “paganism” for good.  But Theophilus is fighting more than ancient religion—he clashes with monks, rivals, even fellow bishops, in a ruthless bid to make Alexandria the beating heart of the Christian world. What drives him to destroy? And can an entire faith really be erased?

Do we all have some creative ability in us? Yes. Can we learn and grow to be more creative? Yes. Should we all be living as “creatives?” I question this. But what creativity we have, whether it's art, ideas, businesses, innovations, or solutions to problems, how can we best go from the idea or concept, to actually doing and delivering something? I don't want to do something with every creative idea I have, but with the ones that matter, I'd be lying if I said I just made them all happen. I don't always, and I haven't always understood why. Which is why I have for you today, Zorana Ivcevic Pringle. Zorana Ivcevic Pringle is a senior research scientist at Yale University's Center for Emotional Intelligence where she studies the process of making something both original and effective, which is how she defines creativity, and explains how turning those ideas into reality always starts with the choice to act, or what she calls the creativity choice. It is a choice that must be made again and again until one's creative ideas take shape. She has a new book called just that, The Creativity Choice: The Science of Making Decisions to Turn Ideas into Action. In this conversation we discuss not only what it takes to get started with our creative ideas but the psychological and emotional tools needed to sustain the creative process. I really appreciate Zorana coming at this as a true scientist and not telling us it's just easy. She claims the creative process is hard, and when it comes to the original idea and presenting something useful to humanity, I agree. I feel we do a disservice to people when we try to encompass things into a little formula we sell as “easy.” I find few things of value to be very easy. Simple maybe, but seldom easy.  So here we walk through the three parts of Zorana's Creative Process and as you will hear, we discuss the  necessary ingredients, but ingredients you must assemble in a unique way for your unique self.
