Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

48: Henri Stern - Principled Enough to Be Pragmatic
Q: What led you to move from academia to entrepreneurship in crypto?
A combination of path dependency, hands-on experience, and a growing belief that you build better things by shipping and learning from real customers. I wanted to create products that truly solve problems rather than theory for theory's sake, which gradually drew me toward crypto and product-focused startup work.
45: Nicholas Thompson - A Life of Long Form
Q: What role do editors play in shaping a story and a writer's career?
He emphasizes editors as mentors who tailor support to a writer's strengths, push for first principles, and help navigate deadlines, structure, and narrative risk to unlock the best version of a story.
45: Nicholas Thompson - A Life of Long Form
Q: How do you define a journalist in an era of evolving media?
He suggests that commitment to audience, accuracy, and the integrity of reporting define journalism, while recognizing that what constitutes journalism is expanding with new formats and platforms.
45: Nicholas Thompson - A Life of Long Form
Q: What is the thing you can do to increase good stories in the world?
Thompson describes a guiding principle of steering the organization toward producing more high-quality journalism, balancing editorial rigor with a sustainable business model to enable ongoing, impactful reporting.
38: Molly Mielke McCarthy - The Art of Peopling
Q: How have you gotten better at asking?
I force myself off the ledge and push myself to ask for what I need.
