    HBR Asks: What Are NFTs, and Why Do They Matter? 19 Mar 2021 --- NFTs are all over the news. We decided to take a closer look and figure out just what this bitcoin-adjacent technology is — and whether it's worth the hype. 0:00 -- Intro 0:27 -- What are NFTs? 1:14 -- How are they related to bitcoin and blockchain? 2:29 -- Why are they in the news? 3:32 -- Why are people spending real money on NFTs? 4:25 -- The thing driving this: the idea of scarcity 5:24 -- What’s the future of NFTs, especially for business? 6:20 -- NFTs might (eventually) have practical business applications 6:45 -- Ok, do I really need to pay attention to these? Are booming NFT art and sports-card markets just a passing fad, or the beginning of a major trend? Whether or not these new markets crash, the underlying technology is definitely worth keeping an eye on, says HBR’s senior editor for technology, Thomas Stackpole. Hosted by Ramsey Khabbaz.

    Lean Into Imposter Syndrome, Don't Yield to It

    Lean Into Imposter Syndrome, Don't Give In to It 5 Aug 2025 --- Why do ambitious “strivers” so often feel they haven’t truly earned their success? Harvard behavioral social scientist and author of "The Happiness Files" Arthur C. Brooks argues that self-doubt is usually evidence of healthy humility—not incompetence—and a clear contrast to the overconfidence of “dark-triad” personalities. Brooks shows executives how to reframe imposter feelings as diagnostic feedback, then “lean in without giving in” by targeting the specific skills and knowledge gaps those feelings reveal, turning discomfort into a disciplined catalyst for growth. For more insights on leadership, success, and workplace well-being, explore Arthur's new book, "The Happiness Files", a curated selection of essays from his popular column in The Atlantic: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4MFQ6VN More by Arthur Brooks: https://arthurbrooks.com/ Books, tools, and more: store.hbr.org Follow us: https://hbr.org/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/harvard-business-review/ https://www.facebook.com/HBR/ https://twitter.com/HarvardBiz https://www.instagram.com/harvard_business_review Sign up for Newsletters: https://hbr.org/email-newsletters #HarvardBusinessReview #YourCareer #Career #Job #Work #Business #Harvard #HarvardBusinessSchool Copyright © 2024 Harvard Business School Publishing.
