  • 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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to prevent corporate corruption with Eric Ries
Q: What are your top three recommendations for making organizations incorruptible?
A concise framework: ethos plus integrity equals incorruptible, with a focus on inner dimensions like purpose and coherence, and outer dimensions like fiduciary commitments, board governance reforms, and embedding mission into the charter.
The craft of storytelling with Ann Patchett
Q: What prompted her to open a bookstore, and how does it influence her writing?
Patchett explains Nashville's lack of indie bookstores as a motivation to provide discovery spaces; running Parnassus Books fuels conversations with readers and authors, enriching her understanding of literature and community.
The craft of storytelling with Ann Patchett
Q: How does she balance fiction and nonfiction, and what does she appreciate about each?
She values the freedom of fiction to create and explore, while also recognizing nonfiction can reveal unexpected angles and truths; she highlights the joy of crafting a narrative even when grounded in real events.
The craft of storytelling with Ann Patchett
Q: What shaped Ann Patchett's approach to writing and storytelling?
Patchett discusses a foundation built from early upheaval, a push from family to pursue writing, and the influence of mentors and a close circle of friends, which together fostered discipline and a lifelong love of storytelling.
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.
