In this episode of One Day, Jon interviews Professor David Hollander to talk about basketball (and a few other things). Professor David talks about the many metaphors that can exist between the sport and other super important areas of life like science and history and how the same principles taught in sociology and philosophy can be applied into basketball lessons as well. His upcoming book goes live in February 2023.

The content available in the book tries to show us a new way of thinking and a new way of setting parameters in modern times. According to the author, some basketball rules and guidelines and values (like companionship and cooperation) are just the right tool we need to face global problems like racism and economy setbacks. Tune in to listen to the whole discussion about this and other relevant topics! 

“It’s unbelievable how little space we have just for us, just for our thoughts, just for ourselves, and so a basketball court has been a meditative space for a lot of people.” – Professor David Hollander

In this episode of One Day we talk about:

• Money at the gilded age and entrepreneurship coming to life;
• Inflation and its connection with people quitting their jobs;
• The future of the working industry in the country;
• Drugs and alcohol glamorization;
• Professor David talks about the principles of his book;

In this episode of One Day, Jon welcomes Ariel Helwani to talk about a lot of things. Ariel shares his work and routine, how he splits up his week and what he does to relax. One of the main topics of the episode is the importance of detaching a little bit from social media and the online world to be present, enjoy the moment, and hang out with real people. Looking at a screen for too many hours is not good for you!

Jon and Ariel, who are close friends by the way, also discuss the “cancel culture” and how judgmental people are getting online. Creators that produce content should be held responsible for what they talk and for their opinions, but Ariel doesn’t think the hate is proportional. Business, grounding, being inspired by other people, and beard styles are also great highlights on this episode, so tune in!

“I don’t necessarily love the term ‘cancel culture’. I think there should be repercussions and I think there should be accountability. I hate the idea of people actively trying to ruin people’s lives.” – Ariel Helwani

In this episode of One Day we talk about:

• The do’s and dont’s of beard styles;
• The current status of our friendship;
• Ariel’s method of work and how he splits up his routine;

• WWE and MMA;

So, what’s the deal with the car industry? Jon has some personal opinions on it, especially regarding Ford’s new edition of the classic Bronco. Cool brands usually come up with cool solutions for their problems but sending lots and lots of marketing products to our houses while they put us on hold for something is the opposite of cool, or is it? Give this episode a listen as Jon takes you through his own experience of being on an incredibly long waitlist for a car that had its production delayed for some reason. 

“I’m really amazed that this iconic American brand decided to send me things that I don’t want to remind me that the thing that I want is not available.” – Jon Bier

In this episode of One Day we talk about:

• Jon’s message to Ford;
• Cars and why do we need to customize it?
• The special day that the new Bronco was announced;

This episode of One Day is immensely special. Today, I welcome Founder and CEO of Solluna, multiple-time best-selling author, and my incredibly insightful wife, Kimberly Snyder, to talk about her new book, You Are More Than You Think You Are: Practical Enlightenment for Everyday Life.

Kimberly has spent years studying all kinds of spiritual scriptures and Vedic texts, truly becoming a well-researched student of yogic philosophy and “practical enlightenment”. Kimberly has distilled all the knowledge and wisdom she has cultivated over the years, simplifying it into this book. By inspiring others to embark on a conscious path, Kimberly is impacting the world and I’m so excited for her.

I believe this is the beginning of a whole new era for Kimberly, so join us to be a part of the journey!

“So many people are interested in newness and trends, but there’s so much value in the old and in these ancient teachings are the things that I think can really help us in modern life… This is needed now more than ever. The world that we’re living in, people need to tune into the light inside of themselves.” - Kimberly Snyder
