    The Winner’s Curse: Why “Winning” Often Means You Just Lost with Nobel Laureate Richard Thaler (#288)

    We all love the thrill of winning - the house, the promotion, the deal.

Thaler breaks down why we overbid, overpay, and talk ourselves into choices we regret. And he shares simple tricks to help you catch yourself before you make a mistake you can’t undo.

    The American Dream is Now a Coin Flip: Here's Why and What We Can Do (#287)

    The American Dream promises that hard work leads to a better life. But for many children today, that promise depends less on effort and more on where they grow up. Raj Chetty, a Harvard professor and the founder of Opportunity Insights, has spent years following millions of lives to understand what truly drives economic mobility. His findings challenge long-held assumptions about opportunity in America. If the American Dream has started to feel like a coin flip, what’s quietly shaping the odds? And what would it take to give more children a real chance to get ahead? In this conversation, we explore why neighborhoods matter more than we think and how expanding opportunity could strengthen not just individual lives, but the country as a whole. See his new paper Creating High Opportunity Neighborhoods.

    The Surprising Science of Why We Laugh (#285)

    We think laughter is a response to something funny. A joke. A punchline. A light moment. But listen closely to real conversations, and laughter shows up in places that are far more important than we realize - and often when nothing is funny at all. Neuroscientist Sophie Scott CBE reveals what laughter really signals, how it works, and why it quietly shapes our relationships, our hierarchies, and our sense of belonging. Sophie Scott is a professor at University College London and one of the world’s leading researchers on the science of laughter.

    A Smarter, More Hopeful Future of Work - If We Get Artificial Intelligence Right (#284)

    Elon Musk and Geoffrey Hinton warn of an AI-driven job apocalypse. MIT’s David Autor, one of the world’s leading thinkers on how technology reshapes work, says the real danger lies somewhere else. The biggest risk of AI isn’t mass unemployment - it’s whether human skills and expertise will still matter. David explains how AI could expand middle-class opportunity by lowering barriers to high-value work, why past technologies created more new jobs than they destroyed, and what we need to get right to make this moment a hopeful one.

    Presidential Power: How It Grows and What Comes Next (#283)

    Jack Goldsmith, who once ran the Justice Department office that advises presidents on what they can and can’t legally do, takes on some of the hardest questions about the limits of the president’s power — from changing the government to the use of military force abroad, including the invasion of Venezuela. Drawing on his experience inside the executive branch, he looks at why the limits on presidential power are more fragile than they appear, how precedent quietly expands executive authority, and what that means for the future of the presidency.
