  • Too many interjections - let guests finish their sentences

    The content discussed is relevant and helpful to my thinking about the world of work. The topics and guests are well chosen and the questions asked are well thought out. The problem is Kim’s continuous interjections. I get that she wants to show how she relates to what’s being said, but it makes it hard for me as a listener to clearly hear what is being said. More accurately, it makes it harder to listen to. Suggestion: Kim, record a few minutes talking about how you connect to the topic, anecdo... more

  • From book to podcast

    An executive from my previous job gifted me with the book and while I was reading it I got curious and searched for a podcast. Voila! Hooked ever since. I can totally relate to Kim’s experience of being the youngest leader to becoming the old sage overnight. I lead my first team at 23 and learned everything the hard and painful way.

  • Good content, stop interrupting

    This is great stuff. However, Kim can be super hard to follow and understand. From super loud to mumbling and hard to understand in one sentence. I think Kim needs to let others complete a thought. I wanted to hear more from Bon Sutton but she kept cutting him off.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Raise Emotionally Resilient Kids — and Lead the Same Way (with Dr. Becky Kennedy)
Q: What are the problems with criticism and what opportunities exist when sharing different points of view?
Compassionate criticism can be effective when it comes from a place of care and a clear intention to help, rather than shame; it's about speaking truth with warmth and aiming for growth rather than defeat.
Where the World's Dirty Money Actually Goes (with Oliver Bullough)
Q: Tell us about Everybody Loves Our Dollars.
Oliver Bullough explains that the book chronicles why global efforts to stop money laundering have largely failed, tracing the long history from Bretton Woods to modern offshore finance and the persistent loopholes that enable vast flows of illicit wealth to move with little accountability.
What is a Problem I Can Help Solve? (with Tom Rath)
Q: What do you think is the best way to reframe career exploration from chasing passion to meeting others' needs?
Start from what the world needs, assess how your strengths can help, and use structured tools to explore a range of careers so you're less limited by what you've seen in your immediate circle.
How to Remake America S8 | E9
Q: How did propaganda feature in their strategy, and what lessons does that offer for today?
Propaganda was seen as a tool to inform and mobilize public opinion for democratic ends, not merely to persuade. The episode suggests thoughtful use of messaging, accountability, and ethical considerations to advance civil rights and democratic reforms without surrendering to manipulation.
How to Remake America S8 | E9
Q: What is the core idea behind the Radical Fund and its approach to democracy and capitalism in the 1920s and 30s?
The fund aimed to seed experiments in participatory democracy, cross-racial collaboration, and labor organizing, funding institutions and campaigns that could expand democratic participation and reduce inequality, with long-term perspective rather than quick fixes.
