How We Build Family

When host Julie Kohler became a mom, a community of care sprouted up around her. The people who showed up to support her and her family were essential -- and they would be whether or not she was a single mom. All season, we've dissected the institution of marriage in the US. But what are we missing when talk only about marriage? For the final episode of this season, we're asking what the future of family could look like if marriage wasn't the ideal. We're talking to people who have created networks of support within and around marriage and examining the language and policies that can enable us to lead the lives we want to live. Whether that includes marriage, or... something else! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After Action Review: How Kodak invented the digital camera and failed to market it...Twice!

Whatever you think you know about the story of Kodak not capitalizing on their own invention of the digital camera, the actual story is so much better. This After Action Review is with Steve Sasson, the original inventor of the digital camera and 35 year employee of Eastman Kodak. Steve will break down the two pivotal moments in Kodak's past when they had the technology and opportunity to get into the digital camera business and chose not to. And you'll learn for the first time that their big mistake came in 1989 rather than 1975, as most people assume. Specifically, we'll cover: What he did wrong when he presented the digital camera idea to management,What he did right,Advice from Steve to innovators pitching today, and The story of a completely different product Steve worked on that almost met the exact same fate. A little more about Steve: He spent his entire career at Eastman Kodak. On November 17, 2009, U.S. President Barack Obama awarded Steve the National Medal of Technology and Innovation at a White House ceremony. This is the highest honor awarded by the US government to scientists, engineers, and inventors. He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2011.Thanks for listening and be sure to find me online to tell me what you thought of the episode! @DianaKander on Instagram and Twitter Professional AF Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/943925015810362/Diana online: www.DianaKander.com Hosted on Acast.

Using Poker Strategy to Make Better Business Decisions – with Annie Duke

Most people know Annie as a professional poker player. She’s won numerous poker championships and millions of dollars in prizes. I got to know her in 2004 when I really got into poker. My first book was actually a business novel that took place at the world series of poker and used poker hands to teach important innovation lessons. So when I saw Annie, one of the few women who were even competing in the tournament, keep winning, keep being the only woman at one final table after another, and keep doing it with class and style, I became a huge fan. What I didn’t know about Annie until doing research for this interview is that she graduated from Columbia University and then graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania. That she won a fellowship from the National Science Foundation and got a doctorate in cognitive psychology. Annie is an entrepreneur, a committed advocate for important causes, a mother, a wife, and the author of several books including my favorite and the subject of our discussion today: Thinking in Bets, Making Smarter Decisions When You Don’t Have All the Facts. Today Annie is going to tell us:Why you should focus on process rather than outcome to decide whether you made a good decisionWhy there’s a competition going on all the time between your short term wants and your long term wants and how to prevent your short term impulses from sabotaging your long term growth.Our mistaken belief on how we form our assumptions and beliefs about the world – hint, you aren’t as objective as you thinkAn incredible way to get people to question their assumptions and beliefs in a way they aren’t naturally inclined to doThe value of thinking of your work projects as betsHow to identify the habits that your team rewards and understand whether you are actually helping your causeIn the Kander Family we have a saying. Last one, best one. It means whatever you’re doing, make the last rep, the last try, your best effort. And this episode is certainly that for this season. I hope you enjoy this amazing conversation on Professional AF! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Threat of Project 2025 with Rachel Leingang

This week, Republicans are convening in Milwaukee to officially elect former President Donald Trump as the party’s nominee. But what would a second Trump administration actually look like? The answer may very well lie in a lengthy document of conservative priorities called Project 2025. To unpack this document, we’re talking to Rachel Leingang who reports on democracy and misinformation for The Guardian. Rachel walks us through the particulars of Project 2025 and how it's what she calls “the meat on the bones” for conservative causes nationwide.

13 Things Mentally Strong Women Don’t Do with Amy Morin

This week I sat down with Amy Morin, a psychotherapist turned “accidental” author. You’re going to hear Amy share her very moving, personal story, but I just wanted to brag on her for a second. Amy gave one of the most popular TEDx talks of all time—The Secret of Becoming Mentally Strong. It’s been viewed more than 8 million times. She’s a regular columnist for Forbes, Inc., and Psychology Today and a parenting expert for Verywell. Her articles reach more than 2 million readers every month. And she’s the author of 3 Bestselling books, the latest of which is called 13 Things Mentally Strong Women Don’t Do. And the interview is amazing because we spend about 2/3 of the conversation talking about specific habits mentally strong women should stop, and the last third on the science of creating lasting habit change. Today Amy is going to share:- How to keep self-doubt from sabotaging our goals- How the way we raise young girls has a big impact on their mental strength- How to deal with critical feedback- Why women aren’t getting the right kind of feedback at work, and how to ask the right way- The biggest mistake we make trying to change a habitBuckle your seatbelts. And get ready for some powerful insights on this episode of Professional AF! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
