  • Great content, way too many ads

    I love Adam Grant and his books are great. Such thoughtfully curated episodes are ripped to shreds with way too many ads ruining the cadence and pushing my focus away from the content. I can’t pay $50/year for every podcast to be ad free and still buy their books etc. Such a bummer.

What Finnish president Alexander Stubb learned from golfing with Trump
Q: What would you tell someone under 30 who wants to change the world?
Choose a role with meaningful impact and enough freedom to drive change; politics can be constraining, so consider where you can most effectively contribute while maintaining agency.
What Finnish president Alexander Stubb learned from golfing with Trump
Q: How do you decide what to reveal publicly about conflicts like Ukraine's progress?
Decisions balance timely information with strategic caution; we test when and what to disclose, using data and estimates to inform public messaging without compromising ongoing efforts.
What Finnish president Alexander Stubb learned from golfing with Trump
Q: What has changed in your leadership approach the second time around as president?
The team is tighter and fully aligned; there is a clear emphasis on protecting institutions, avoiding internal political intrigue, and focusing on foreign policy where the president has existential concerns with Russia's border.
Dad brain with neuroscientist Darby Saxbe
Q: What are the key skill sets new dads should focus on early in fatherhood?
Pay close attention to your baby's cues, build routines, and develop your own caregiving style; use feedback from your child and partner to refine what calms and connects with your infant.
Dad brain with neuroscientist Darby Saxbe
Q: What is the message you want to land about the fathering brain to new dads?
Dads are transformed by parenting just as moms are, and great fathering comes from practice, presence, and investing in caregiving; men can develop a strong, competent parenting identity.
