ICYMI: Who Is Afraid of Woke Capitalism?
Mihir, Felix and NYU’s Dolly Chugh discuss the pressure on business leaders to conform to the demands of woke capitalism. Should you give in? Push back? What are the risks and rewards? Also: Feeling low lately? Chances are you are just getting older. We speculate why most people go through some sort of midlife crisis and talk about ways to better cope with life’s seemingly inevitable ups and downs. (Originally aired Nov. 2, 2022)

Customer Reviews
My favorite
It’s like eavesdropping an amazing conversations between great minds. It introduces topics you want to deep dive in afterwards. A real gem though we miss Youngme so much!!!
My favorite podcast
really great podcast and the topics are very interesting
Good podcast but too much focus on the mainstream
I have been listening to this podcast for more than three years now, almost since the beginning.
I quite enjoy it but I regret that discussions almost always center on the big household names, very mainstream companies. This podcast would be more interesting if shedding light on much less known, more innovative businesses / sectors few have heard about rather than on the ´news’ on household names. (Facebook, Disney, Twitter, Amazon, etc.) or the famous.
Whilst I quite enjoy the three hosts’ takes on issues and with often interesting recommendations, some verbal tics can be quite annoying. Everything is « spectacular » or « amazing ». Hard to give a sense of perspective when it’s repeated constantly.
It is otherwise a podcast I enjoy listening to and I am warmly recommending it.
