Mo News - The Interview

It is the most prestigious consulting company in the world, and yet most of us know very little about McKinsey. 

The multi-billion dollar firm helps governments around the world and the Fortune 500 make key decisions when it comes to their businesses and their images. McKinsey clients have included big tobacco, opioid makers, the Chinese government as well as US government agencies & the companies they regulate (at the same time). However, all of that work is shielded by NDAs. 

How does all that work? Is it legal or ethical? And, how has McKinsey impacted the lives of millions of Americans and people around the world through their consulting relationship? Those are some of the questions we asked investigative reporter Walt Bogdanich in this episode. His book, When McKinsey Comes To Town, follows a multi-year investigation.

As the Israel-Hamas war approaches 50 days, we are speaking with voices from both sides of the war to gain insight into the realities on the ground. 

In this episode, Mosheh speaks with Khalil Sayegh. He was born and raised in Gaza, then lived in the West Bank, and is now in the US, where he recently got his master's degree from American University. His family is currently seeking refuge in a church in northern Gaza.

Sayegh speaks candidly about the war, growing up as a Christian in Gaza, life under Hamas, why they are an obstacle for peace and the daily realities for Palestinians. At the same time, he talks about what he learned when he met Israelis for the first time, the empathy he gained, but also how he believes Israeli government policies have strengthened Hamas and worsened the conflict. 

He recently founded a grassroots organization, the Agora Initiative, partnering with an Israeli to focus on long-term solutions to the conflict.

Volumes have been written about President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and British PM Winston Churchill. But what about the women who raised them? 

A new book tells the fascinating story of their mothers, Sara Delano Roosevelt and Jennie Churchill. Both natives of Brooklyn, NY, they would go onto take two very different paths and raise their famous sons in completely different ways.

Mosheh speaks with Charlotte Grey, the author of “Passionate Mothers, Powerful Sons,” about the matriarchs and their impact on the two men credited with defeating Hitler and saving democracy. We dive into the moms’ influence, as well as some of the more intriguing anecdotes, including Sara’s obsession with her son and how it impacted his marriage to Eleanor Roosevelt.

With the realization that globalization didn’t benefit everyone, the US and many countries have taken a more populist turn in recent years. Is the re-focus on things here at home going to lead to more tensions across the globe or a positive, necessary correction?

We talk to Rana Foroohar, Financial Times Business Columnist and author of the new book, Homecoming, about the evolving role of the US in the world, our broken politics and the transitioning US economy. We begin the conversation with the latest in the Middle East and the Israel-Hamas War.

It’s now been more than two weeks since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, killing more than 1,300 people and taking more than 200 hostage. Israel has responded with airstrikes in Gaza that have left thousands dead. 

The images are gruesome. The testimony from survivors and victims’ families is heartbreaking. It’s all so hard to process— even for adults a thousand miles away. So how should parents talk to KIDS about what’s happening in the Middle East? Especially in the era of social media. 

In this special edition, we’re joined by cognitive psychotherapist Niro Feliciano, the best selling author of “This Book Won’t Make You Happy- 8 Keys to Finding True Contentment.” Niro is also a mother of four.

We dive deep into the world of submersible exploration in this episode, and discuss what we can learn from traveling to the deepest parts of our oceans. We know more about outer space than our own oceans here on earth. The co-founder of Triton Submarines, Patrick Lahey, is hoping to help change that, and he explains why deep sea travel is so important in this conversation. 

We all watched in horror this summer as one submersible ignored safety warnings and imploded near the Titanic in June. We discuss what was uniquely risky about that trip and contraption, and the lessons for the industry and governments from that disaster. 

Lahey makes the pitch in this conversation for why deep ocean travel is not only safe but necessary for humans, including some of the things we are discovering about our planet, health and medicine through this type of exploration.

It is a riveting history: How America chose the first six women to go into space and how the first female astronauts overcame adversity and sexism. We talk about all of it in our conversation with space journalist Loren Grush. 

Her new book, “The Six: The Untold Story of America’s First Women Astronauts” reads like a movie screenplay, and provides some fascinating historical perspective into the first six American women in space. 

As of 1973, the US had sent three females into space: Two spiders and a monkey. We discuss how NASA went about realizing it was time to bring women into space and what challenges the women faced when they got there. Tune in for the history and the ridiculous story involving NASA engineers and tampons.
