Lori Gottlieb

Lori Gottlieb is a psychotherapist and author who wants us to start taking our mental health seriously, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. She joins Jennifer Palmieri on the show to discuss the difference between productive and unproductive anxiety, how to avoid creating a hierarchy of grief when we're surrounded by tragedy, and why we are all unreliable narrators of our own stories. Lori also shares plans for a new TV show based on her latest book “Maybe You Should Talk to Someone” and some of the positives people of all ages can take away from this time in isolation.

Brian Flores’ anti-racism lawsuit against the NFL is just the start

On this special episode of The Long Game with LZ & Leitch, LZ and Will talk about former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores’ lawsuit against the NFL and three of its teams, exposing what critics have long argued: there’s an old boy network (of white men) undercutting the league’s publicized efforts to consider and hire diverse candidates. They also break down Bill Belichick’s texting skill; praise Flores’ exquisite timing; and end the show urging NFL players to speak up and show support for Flores’ cause. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is sure to face tough questions from the news media at his “State of the League” address next week, so stay with us — LZ & Leitch will be covering this story every step of the way. Watch The Long Game with LZ & Leitch Monday, Feb. 7 at 1pm ET at twitch.tv/therecount and listen out for two more podcasts next week as well! Hosted on Acast.

How Tesla (Almost) Failed to Start, with Tim Higgins

John interviews Tim Higgins. Tim is a tech reporter at The Wall Street Journal, a regular CNBC contributor, and the author of “Power Play: Tesla, Elon Musk, and the Bet of the Century.” The book chronicles Tesla’s multiple near-death experiences and shows how it came to symbolize the electric car and, ultimately, grew into the largest automaker in the world by market value. However, Tim says, “this isn't the story of Elon Musk,” and the book reports on many of the other figures that give Tesla its edge. John and Tim discuss Musk’s penchant for bold moves (good and bad); Tesla’s true competitors; and the recently opened federal investigation into the company’s self-driving tech. Hosted on Acast.
