What's Next In ... with Phil & Liora Phil & Liora

 A global pandemic, global warming, and potentially a global war. With the pressures of the world bearing down on our psyches everyday, Liora and Phil discuss ways to break the habit of doomscrolling, the benefits and dangers of the wellness economy, and what's next in managing our stresses in an ever-shifting world. 

It is not a pretty picture right now if you're a first-time home buyer trying to break into the housing market.

Discovery is just as much an art as it is a science, with chance, luck, and intuition playing a big role. Today, researchers are applying artificial intelligence and robotics to the very act of scientific discovery, hoping to speed up how long it takes to go from invention to impact. We talk about automating science, what this could mean for our society, and whether people will trust discoveries that were made by machines. 

Tight labour markets, retirements, and resignations are on everyone's mind these days. What's spurring this shift in so many people's career journeys? Is the Great Resignation a good thing or a bad thing? What can companies do to keep the talent they have? 

It's the daily word game that is taking the world by storm and the perfect 5 letter word to describe it is VIRAL. Today Liora and Phil chat about Wordle, why and how it got so popular, the benefits of mental puzzles, and what's next in these habits!

Jan 24, 2022. It's been a year since What's Next In... released its first episode. As we get back into it, Liora and Phil chat about new years resolutions, how effective (or ineffective) are they, and whether we need a refresh to the time-tested tradition of resolving to be better.
