  • Ivy League Illusions: the Slacking Behind the Prestige

    Author of “Slacking” Adam Kissel Joins Jerry and Rose

    Prestige no longer ensures substance at Ivy League schools; students must navigate a maze of shallow, politicized courses to uncover the rare gems of a classical education, exposing the need for academic renewal.

     With all the news about the Trump administration defunding Ivy League schools like Harvard and Columbia - SLACKING: A Guide to Ivy League Miseducation proves that Ivy League universities can no longer be trusted to produce well-educated students.

     The worst "slacker" courses all meet general education requirements, producing miseducation at the core of a bachelor's degree. Also covered is what employers should be looking for before hiring Ivy League grads.

The episode highlights striking case studies, including Portland’s dramatic and continued rise in homicides following cuts to police funding.

  • Paddle This: Reclaiming Your Life, One Shot at a Time

    In this powerful episode, we sit down with Riley Quinn, lawyer, author, and late-diagnosed ADHD warrior, to explore her journey of resilience, reinvention, and rediscovery. Riley shares the raw and relatable story behind her book, “Paddle This: Learning to Cope with Life’s Backhands” — a candid memoir about stolen dreams, and the triumphant reclaiming of self.

    From navigating gender roles rooted in the 1950s, to battling burnout in the legal world, Riley found salvation in paddle tennis, friendship, love, and in her children. Her story is especially meaningful for women striving to find balance between career, identity, and personal growth.

    We explore themes from her book like:

    ·       Paddle is a full contact sport – a metaphor for life’s intensity

    ·       Sit still and look pretty – unpacking outdated gender norms

    ·       Forget about the last poor shot – the art of moving forward

    ·       And powerful life lessons like: “stay in your own lane,”“break patterns,” and “action is better than ideas”

    Whether you’re navigating midlife or redefining your path, Riley’s journey will leave you inspired, empowered, and ready to take your own swing.

  • Retirees Might Save Your Business—If You Let Them

    In today’s volatile economy, inflation is driving up claims costs, market swings are adding uncertainty, and insurance companies are feeling the squeeze. Premiums are rising, hiring is slowing, and achieving growth goals is becoming more difficult under tighter expense controls.

    But there’s an often-overlooked solution: retirees.

    The “Great Resignation” saw many experienced workers—especially those 55 and older—exit the workforce, often from industries like insurance. Now, the “Silver Tsunami” is accelerating this trend, as retirements surge and companies struggle to replace decades of expertise. How can businesses tap into this valuable, underutilized talent pool?

  • BLEXIT and the State of American Culture

    Jerry is joined by Oz Sultan, researcher, strategist and political figure who has worked on interfaith projects and personal data privacy.

    We're fostering political conversations that avoid the usual vitriol—yet at the same time, we’re seeing an increasing demonization of both religious and political beliefs.

    Add to this a culture saturated by hyper-sexualized media, where innocence is fading and age-appropriate boundaries are being ignored. The result? A society more focused on indulgence than integrity.

    We’re witnessing the breakdown of the family unit and a departure from moral and cultural absolutes. This is America in transition.
    Trump in Three Acts: How Oz describes this administration.  Give it time!
