Caleb and Adriele go through the week’s news including election updates, upcoming Supreme Court hearings, Apple and Google’s potential AI partnership, Walmart’s strategy to teach compassion to store managers, and what it means that offices could soon spy on your stress levels. Then, they go deep on the potential TikTok ban, including why lawmakers seem so eager to pass the ban, what backlash they could incur, and if there is an actual good reason for the legislation. [26:52] Next, they propose rethinking imposter syndrome, including the origins of the concept, how intersectionality calls its value into question, and why this renewed focus on imposter syndrome is relevant to leaders. [48:38] All that, plus a valuable tool on closing the pay gap and Bernie Sanders’ push for a four-day work week.
