In this first episode of the Via Podcast, hosts Michelle Donati and Mitti Hicks kick off their exploration of the West on an auditory road trip along Nevada's Highway 50, dubbed the "Loneliest Road in America" in a 1986 Life magazine article. With expert guest Richard Moreno, celebrated author and former publisher of Nevada magazine, they discover there is so much to see and do on this stretch of desert highway, from stopping in Middlegate for a burger the size of your head to hiking along rock walls covered in Indigenous petroglyphs and even surfing on sand dunes.

META PERFORMANCE SHOW | On this episode of the Meta Performance Show, Jason Jaggard is joined by Founder and President of the Table Group, Patrick Lencioni. 

Patrick is in the business of building better leaders. In 1997, he helped found the Table Group as a consulting firm for small Bay Area companies to improve their organizational leadership. Today, Patrick and the Table Group are leading a movement to make strong organizational health a reality in companies everywhere. Through his work, Patrick is the bestselling author of 13 books including his newest “The 6 Types of Working Genius”, which have sold more than 8 million copies and have been translated into more than 30 languages. The Wall Street Journal has once called him one of “the most in-demand speakers in America” - he has addressed millions around the world at Leadership and Development events, and hosts the Podcast “At The Table”, where he sits across the table from some of the foremost experts in leadership and business. 

In their conversation, they discuss the early days of the Table Group and how Pat turned Steve Jobs down to work at Pixar so he could instead start his own venture. Later on, Pat walks us through his 6 Types of Working Genius as outlined by the term WIDGET in his newest book. There's a great assessment to learn which letters you are, we highly recommend it for you and your partners at work… or your partner at home. We also dig into Jason’s favorite book of Patrick’s, “The Motive”, which talks about how to deal with the drift in and out of a reward-centered leadership mindset, and the five behaviors you need to change to level-up your leadership. 

If you’re interested in taking the assessment to find what your types of Working Genius are, you can find it here. 

Be sure to check out all of Patrick’s written work on Leadership, especially the two we discussed today, “The 6 Types of Working Genius” and “The Motive”.

Introducing Jonathan Haidt on the Plague of Anxiety Affecting Young People from The New Yorker Radio Hour.

Follow the show: The New Yorker Radio Hour

Both anecdotally and in research, anxiety and depression among young people—often associated with self-harm—have risen sharply over the last decade.  There seems little doubt that Gen Z is suffering in real ways.  But there is not a consensus on the cause or causes, nor how to address them.  The social psychologist Jonathan Haidt believes that enough evidence has accumulated to convict a suspect.  Smartphones and social media, Haidt says, have caused a “great rewiring” in those born after 1995.  The argument has hit a nerve: his new book, “The Anxious Generation,” was No. 1 on the New York Times hardcover nonfiction best-seller list.  Speaking with David Remnick, Haidt is quick to differentiate social-media apps—with their constant stream of notifications, and their emphasis on performance—from technology writ large; mental health was not affected, he says, for millennials, who grew up earlier in the evolution of the Internet. Haidt, who earlier wrote about an excessive emphasis on safety in the book “The Coddling of the American Mind,” feels that our priorities when it comes to child safety are exactly wrong.  “We’re overprotecting in [the real world], and I’m saying, lighten up, let your kids out! And we’re underprotecting in another, and I’m saying, don’t let your kids spend nine hours a day on the Internet talking with strange men. It’s just not a good idea.” To social scientists who have asserted that the evidence Haidt marshals does not prove a causative link between social media and depression, “I keep asking for alternative theories,” he says. “You don’t think it’s the smartphones and social media—what is it? … You can give me whatever theory you want about trends in American society, but nobody can explain why it happened so suddenly in 2012 and 2013—not just here but in Canada, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Northern Europe. I’m waiting,” he adds sarcastically, “for someone to find a chemical.” The good news, Haidt says, is there are achievable ways to limit the harm.  

Note: In his conversation with David Remnick, Jonathan Haidt misstated some information about a working paper that studies unhappiness across nations. The authors are David G. Blanchflower, Alex Bryson, and Xiaowei Xu, and it includes data on thirty-four countries.

Follow the show: The Unshakeables

Rob Starkman’s sophomore year was not a typical college experience. He spent most days chugging energy drinks and sweating over fabric dyes in his dorm room. It had all started a few months before, when Rob took on a new role as student manager of the men’s basketball team and it all almost ended when one of the largest companies in the world sent him a cease and desist letter. 

Join Ben and Tanya as they chat with Rob about the stroke of inspiration that started Rock ‘Em Socks in a dorm room, and the large legal team that went after the business. Discover how he fought back, overcoming obstacles from outside and inside—his company, and the hard-won lessons that put Rock’Em on the map.
