  • Changing Career Paths
    Feb 4 2025

    When we contemplate the word ‘career’, it’s natural to think of one singular profession that someone pursues via education and then remains in for a long period of time. When you think of a doctor or an accountant, you usually think of them practicing that profession for decades, the majority if not all of their work years. In the ‘corporate world’, job changes are perhaps more common, but it sometimes seems like people are becoming more inclined to pivot in their professional lives. Professor Serge da Motta Veiga joins the podcast to share insights and recent trends in the workplace.

  • 268. How to Change Your Behaviour
    Jan 28 2025
    It’s one thing to acknowledge certain truths about ourselves and the world, and to have certain revelations ; but it’s another thing to actually make change based on those realizations. Why can we acknowledge and learn about our preconceptions, but still have such a hard time extrapolating those lessons to the way we live our lives? How do we break old patterns of behaving and make positive change to match our new ways of thinking? How do concepts such as status quo bias and habit formation prevent us from achieving our goals, and how can we break patterns that we deem detrimental? Yasmine Kalkstein, a Professor of Psychology at West Point, joins the podcast.

  • 267. The LA Wildfires
    Jan 21 2025
    As the wildfires in Los Angeles continue their spread, many are wondering how this possibly could have happened. We've been hearing about increasing rates of wildfires over the last several years , but rarely do they affect urban areas in the scope they have over the past several weeks. So what exactly is a wildfire, and why has this one been spreading so aggressively? How does a wildfire ultimately become contained, and is containment in sight? And perhaps equally important, is this a harbinger of things to come? Are wildfires like this one going to occur more frequently as time goes on, and what can we do to prevent them? Tim Brown joins the podcast.
