| 10/27/26 |  What Great Communicators Do Differently (#325) | What separates great communicators from everyone else? It’s not confidence, charisma, or having the perfect words. Matt Abrahams, Stanford Graduate School of Business lecturer, bestselling author of Think Faster, Talk Smarter, and host of the Think Fast, Talk Smart podcast, reveals why many of our instincts before presentations, meetings, and difficult conversations may be working against us. In this episode, we cover: The best way to introduce yourselfHow to interrupt someone politelyWhat ... | 20m 34s | ||||||
| 10/20/26 |  Joy is a Risk Worth Taking (#324) | What if joy isn’t a reward for when life goes well, but the thing that helps us survive when it doesn’t? Psychologist and Stanford lecturer Kelly McGonigal reveals that joy is not the same as happiness, and that many of us quietly push it away without realizing it. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why happiness needs everything to be good, while joy needs just one thingWhy so many of us protect ourselves from joy, and why anxiety can feel saferHow power and success can make connection, and joy,... | 19m 21s | ||||||
| 10/13/26 |  Greenland, Russia, and The Cold War for the Arctic (#323) | As Arctic ice melts, the struggle for the frozen north is beginning to resemble a new Cold War. Russian submarine activity is rising. China is mapping the seabed and expanding its icebreaker fleet. And Greenland sits at the center of a growing contest over shipping routes, critical minerals, energy, and missiles. Heather Conley, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and one of America’s leading experts on the Arctic, Europe, and transatlantic security, spent years warning that ... | 19m 14s | ||||||
| 10/6/26 |  How a 500 Year Old Map Still Distorts Our World (#322) | The world map we grew up with makes Greenland and Africa look the same size. The problem? Africa is actually an astonishing 14 times larger. The even larger problem? There's no such thing as an accurate map. They all distort how we see the world. Jay Foreman and Mark Cooper-Jones are comedians, writers, and YouTubers with millions of followers where they are better known as Map Men. Their new book, This Way Up, explores how maps shape our understanding of the world and what happen... | 18m 34s | ||||||
| 9/29/26 |  America, War, and the Myths We Still Believe (#321) | What if one of the things Americans believe most deeply about America simply isn’t true? Americans have a powerful story about who they are and why America acts when it does. Historian Robert Kagan, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, says America's own history tells a very different story. He discusses: ● The biggest myth Americans believe about their own country ● What American history looks like when you strip that myth away ● Why America keeps doing something it insists it d... | 20m 09s | ||||||
| 9/22/26 |  Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to Machines (#320) | What if AI becomes easier to talk to than another person? And what happens to us when it does? MIT professor Sherry Turkle has spent decades studying what technology does to the way we think, work, and love. Now she says there are two parts of our lives we should never let AI into. She discusses: Why ordinary conversation has started to feel like workThe surprising reason people may prefer talking to chatbotsHow AI will change what we expect from other peopleWhy “pretend empathy” may be more ... | 23m 24s | ||||||
| 9/15/26 |  Mark Cuban: What Everyone Is Getting Wrong About AI (#319) | Mark Cuban told people that television would eventually be delivered over the internet. Everybody thought he was an idiot. Now, Cuban is making another prediction that runs counter to what we all believe, but this time it's about A.I. Few people have made as many big bets across as many industries as Mark Cuban. The billionaire entrepreneur and investor has built businesses in technology and media, transformed the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, and is now taking on prescription drug compani... | 23m 01s | ||||||
