Roxane Gay (Author)

In this episode, Roxane and Isha explore the obsession with the scrutinization of our bodies and the role misogyny plays in that scrutiny. As a writer and social commentator, Roxane explains why she not only doesn’t claim the title of activist, but she also doesn’t do the work she does with the intention of activating. She is simply telling her story and sharing her experience. But sometimes that's enough to get put on the proverbial pedestal. You can hear more from Roxane in her newsletter, The Audacity, and on her podcast, The Roxane Gay Agenda. Follow Isha Sesay on Twitter and Instagram.

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.
