Parenting doesn’t magically get “easier” once kids are past the toddler years—and Alyssa Blask Campbell wants us to stop pretending it does. The bestselling author of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions is back with her new book Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, a guide to navigating the rollercoaster of the elementary school years—when kids are “too old for tantrums, but too young for teen drama.”

Alyssa joins Mosheh to break down why these years matter so much for building resilience, empathy, and emotional intelligence. She explains how parents can act as “emotional detectives” to uncover what’s really driving behavior, the difference between respect and obedience, and why our own self-regulation as adults is the model our children will copy.

We also dig into practical, everyday dilemmas: how to handle screen time and peer pressure, what to do when your child lies, and how to respond to difficult emotions like sadness and anger. Plus—the often-overlooked role of diet, sleep, and nervous system regulation in shaping behavior.Alyssa also shares insights from her Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) method, and why teaching kids to manage their feelings is the single greatest gift parents can give.

In this episode, Mosh travels to Elkhart, Indiana, to tour Amazon’s first-of-its-kind delivery center built  from mass timber — part of the company’s push to reach net zero carbon by 2040. He sits down with Daniel Mallory, Amazon’s vice president of global realty, to explore how one of the world’s largest companies is rethinking construction, packaging, and delivery in the name of sustainability.Mallory discusses how small customer choices, like combining shipments, can make a massive environmental impact. He also explains how mass timber stacks up against steel and concrete, why Amazon sees sustainability and customer service as inseparable, and how the facility serves as an experiment for testing which of its 40-plus eco-friendly strategies — from low-carbon asphalt and rainwater reuse to electric vans on the road--could scale across Amazon and across the world.

The former head of the Israeli Mossad spy agency, Yossi Cohen, joins Mo News for a rare, candid interview about Israel’s security challenges and the region’s shifting landscape. Cohen led the agency from 2016 to 2021, overseeing the theft of Iran’s nuclear archive, covert operations that damaged Tehran’s missile and nuclear programs, and back-channel negotiations that paved the way for the Abraham Accords. He is the author of a new book, ⁠The Sword of Freedom⁠, discussing his career and the state of the region. Now out of government and weighing political ambitions, he reflects on his tenure and the lessons of the past two years.

We discuss:

The state of Israel’s fight with Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran after the 12-Day War — and how much damage was done to Iran’s military and psychological capacity.

The October 7 intelligence failure and why Israel missed warnings about Hamas.

The damage to Israel’s reputation, with rising anti-Israel sentiment, accusations of war crimes and surging antisemitism worldwide.

Behind-the-scenes negotiations with Arab leaders, Saudi Arabia’s potential as Israel’s most influential partner, and the future of a Palestinian state.

His view of Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump— and when he thinks the war in Gaza will end.

Why Mossad is blamed in so many conspiracy theories — like Jeffrey Epstein and the death of Charlie Kirk.

In this episode of the Mo News Podcast, producer Sari Soffer Sukenik sits down with Sophie Gilbert, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of her new book, Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves. Sophie reflects on the pop culture of the ’90s and 2000s — the rom-com boom, the teen sex comedies, the rise of the “cool girl,” and the commercialization of “girl power” — and how these cultural touchstones shaped millennial women’s self-image, relationships, and ambitions.

The conversation ranges from Spice Girls to American Pie, from rom-com nostalgia to the cultural legacy of #MeToo, and from Janet Jackson's Superbowl wardrobe malfunction to Instagram’s double-edged impact. Sophie argues for a more mindful relationship with the media we consume—and what it means to raise the next generation with awareness of how culture shapes us all.

Lyft CEO David Risher is leading a comeback story at the ridesharing company. Two years into the job, he’s made Lyft profitable, expanded into Europe, and grown market share against Uber.

In this conversation with Mosheh, Risher looks into the future: hybrid fleets of drivers and robotaxis, how AI will shape transportation, and whether the next generation of Americans will even need to learn how to drive. He lays out Lyft’s vision for cities of the future — and how to balance innovation with human connection at a time when technology often isolates more than it brings us together.

Risher also reflects on his experience at senior levels of Microsoft and Amazon, sharing what he’s learned about leadership, customer loyalty (obsessions), and the lessons tech has and hasn’t learned from the past couple decades.

Few institutions are as secretive, controversial, and consequential as the CIA. From covert Cold War operations to the war on terror, America’s spy agency has been both praised for keeping the country safe and condemned for its failures and abuses.

Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and historian Tim Weiner joins us to unpack that complicated history and discuss his new book, The Mission, which traces how the CIA has struggled to adapt espionage in the 21st century. Weiner is also the author of the National Book Award–winning Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA, Enemies: A History of the FBI. 

In this conversation, we explore the agency’s origins, its Cold War and post-9/11 record, and the lessons of Iraq, torture, and Afghanistan. We discuss the biggest threats facing the U.S. today—including China’s massive intelligence apparatus, estimated to be 20 times the size of the CIA, and how Beijing’s ambitions differ from Russia’s. We discuss whether intelligence leaders believe the biggest threat to US national security is internal or external. And, Weiner breaks down the concerns over President Trump’s approach to the agency—and what happens when intelligence is shaped, or warped, by politics.

Few institutions impact our daily lives more than the Federal Reserve—and rarely has it been under so much scrutiny. With interest rates, inflation, and political pressure dominating headlines, the Fed’s decisions shape everything from mortgages to credit card bills.

Our guest is Austan Goolsbee, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and a currently voting member of the Fed’s powerful policy-setting committee. In a special joint conversation with Mosheh Oinounou of Mo News and Nicole Lapin of the ⁠⁠Money Rehab podcast⁠⁠, Goolsbee takes us inside the “room where it happens” during high-stakes meetings, breaking down how jobs data, debt, and tariffs are influencing the economic outlook heading into the fall.

We also press him on President Trump’s recent attempts to politicize the Fed, including firing Governor Lisa Cook. We dive into how the institution maintains independence amid mounting pressure from both parties. Finally, Goolsbee weighs in on whether he is more worried about the jobs market or inflation — and gives his take on what the Fed’s role should be in a rapidly changing economy.
