When will fully autonomous vehicles see widespread adoption? According to Applied Intuition, that future is closer than you may think. Applied Intuition’s CEO, Qasar Younis, and CTO, Peter Ludwig, talk with Elad Gil about how now is the best time to both work on self-driving vehicle technology and monetize it. Qasar and Peter discuss the advantages of developing their own OS in-house for their autonomous applications, self-driving technology’s potential to drive re-shoring of vehicle manufacturing to the United States, and how best to gauge the bar for safety in autonomous systems. Plus, they explore how self-driving technology may reshape the designs of not only vehicles, but cities themselves. Sign up for new podcasts every week.

With some high-profile CEOs demanding workers return to the office five days a week, and others touting the benefits of fully remote work, many companies compromised and ended up somewhere in the middle. But that hybrid compromise can often bring the worst of both worlds. Wharton professor Peter Cappelli and senior HR strategist Ranya Nehmeh have looked deeply at what is going wrong with hybrid - and how leaders can make it right. They explain practical ways to improve meetings, build culture, and inspire commitment from employees in a hybrid model, which is most likely here to stay. Cappelli and Nehmeh are the authors of the forthcoming book In Praise of the Office: The Limits to Hybrid and Remote Work and the HBR article "Hybrid Still Isn't Working".

<p><em>Career success takes a status boost, not a power grab.</em></p><p><br />How do you chart the career course you’ve always imagined? According to <a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/guests/alison-fragale/">Alison Fragale</a>, it’s about gaining influence through status, power, and ultimately, being “a likeable badass.”</p><p>As a research psychologist, professor, speaker, and author, Fragale is on a mission to help women take control of their careers. In her book <a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/likeable-badass"><em>Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve</em></a>, she argues that most people have it backwards when pursuing career advancement. "We have talked for a long time [about] getting more power," she explains. However, by focusing first on achieving status (how respected we are), power will often come as a natural byproduct. "If you pursue status before, or at least alongside power, everything is going to fall into place," she says. “Status makes power a lot easier to achieve, and it makes power a lot easier to use.”</p><p>In this episode of <a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/"><em>Think Fast, Talk Smart</em></a><em>,</em> hosted by executive producer <a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/guests/jenny-luna/">Jenny Luna</a>, Fragale explores the communication strategies of a likeable badass, from building warmth and assertiveness to authentically connecting with colleagues. Whether you're building relationships in a new company or have been leading one for years, Fragale’s insights will help you command respect while communicating with kindness.</p><p><em>To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit </em><a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/premium/"><em>FasterSmarter.io/premium</em></a></p><p><strong>Episode Reference Links:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/guests/alison-fragale/">Alison Fragale</a></li><li>Alison’s Book:<a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/likeable-badass"> Likeable Badass</a></li><li><a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/guests/jenny-luna/">Jenny Luna</a></li><li><a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/12-its-not-what-you-say-its-how-you-say-it-how-to-communicate-power/">Ep.12 It's Not What You Say, It’s How You Say It: How To Communicate Power</a></li><li><a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/15-the-art-of-negotiation-how-to-get-more-of-what-you-want/">Ep.15 The Art of Negotiation: How to Get More of What You Want</a>  <p></p></li></ul><p><strong>Connect:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Premium Signup</strong> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/premium/">Think Fast Talk Smart Premium</a></li><li><strong>Email Questions &amp; Feedback </strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; [email protected]</li><li><strong>Episode Transcripts</strong> &gt;&gt;&gt;<a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/210-first-impression-to-lasting-impact-use-status-strategically/"> Think Fast Talk Smart Website</a></li><li><strong>Newsletter Signup + English Language Learning</strong> &gt;&gt;&gt;<a href="http://fastersmarter.io/"> FasterSmarter.io</a></li><li><strong>Think Fast Talk Smart</strong> &gt;&gt;&gt;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/think-fast-talk-smart/"> LinkedIn</a>,<a href="https://www.instagram.com/thinkfasttalksmart/"> Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6caGRBUYZCmgDGM2RK6mxKB9jG_ccmm3">YouTube</a></li><li><strong>Matt Abrahams</strong> &gt;&gt;&gt;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/maabrahams/"> LinkedIn</a></li></ul><p><br /><strong>Chapters:</strong></p><p></p><ul><li>(00:00) - Introduction </li> <li>(02:16) - Defining Power and Status </li> <li>(05:21) - Why Status Comes Before Power </li> <li>(06:14) - Communication Techniques to Build Status </li> <li>(09:22) - Evaluating Your Habits: Nonverbal and Verbal Cues </li> <li>(11:16) - Mentorship in Developing Communication </li> <li>(13:08) - Adapting to a New Work Culture </li> <li>(18:36) - Representing Difference Without Distance </li> <li>(19:44) - Overcoming Bad First Impressions </li> <li>(22:16) - The Final Three Question </li> <li>(26:01) - Conclusion</li> </ul> <br /><p> *****<br />This episode is brought to you by <a href="https://get.babbel.com/eg_podcast_flags_ame_usa-en?bsc=podcast-thinkfast&amp;btp=default&amp;utm_campaign=podcast-thinkfast&amp;utm_content=podcast..thinkfast..usa..internal&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_source=thinkfast&amp;utm_term=generic_v1">Babbel</a>.

In this recent episode of The Ben & Marc Show, a16z co-founders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz sit down with Adam Neumann—founder of WeWork and now Flow—to unpack one of the most unlikely comeback stories in tech. What began as a personal reckoning after a very public fall has become a bold new vision for how we live and belong. Flow isn’t just a real estate company—it’s an operating system for community, built on first-principles software, design, and soul. Joined by a16z General Partner Erik Torenberg, the group goes deep on: - Why Adam’s childhood shaped his obsession with community - Adam’s fall from WeWork—and how he found a new path to redemption - How Flow is re-architecting real estate from scratch - Why loneliness is the greatest design challenge of our time With reflections on dyslexia, the American dream, and the thin line between failure and greatness, this is a candid and wide-ranging conversation about redemption, vision, and building something that matters in this world. We hope you enjoy this deeply human conversation about the future of living.

My guest is Michael Easter, a professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and best-selling author. We discuss how particular daily life choices undermine our level of joy, our sense of purpose, our physical and our mental health and the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly steps we can all take to vastly increase our level of motivation, gratitude and overall life satisfaction. We discuss how effortful foraging for information, undistracted reflection and physical exercise are ways to ‘invest’ and therefore grow our levels of dopamine, energy and motivation, whereas low-friction activities are specifically designed to hijack or diminish them. We also discuss dopamine reward circuitry in the context of how to build and reset one’s energy levels and create a deeper sense of purpose in work, creative pursuits and relationships.

<p><strong>John Rucynski</strong> returns for his third appearance on the <em>Deep in Japan</em> Podcast, and this time we hit the trail—literally. In this lighthearted yet insightful episode, we follow John through his many adventures hiking across Japan, including the ancient <strong>Kumano Kodo pilgrimage</strong> route, an unexpected encounter with a wild boar (spoiler: he got gored by the boar), and a cross-country bike ride for charity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Along the way, we reflect on <strong><em>omotenashi</em></strong> (Japanese hospitality), the cultural and spiritual dimensions of pilgrimage, and what to consider when planning your own multi-day hike or long-distance ride. Pro tip: take care of your rear end—it might lock up on you.</p><p><br /></p><p>We also dive into <strong>Craig Mod</strong>’s new book, <strong><em>Things Become Other Things</em></strong>, and his reflections on walking and transformation in Japan, as discussed in his recent appearance on the Rich Roll Podcast.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Featured links from John:</strong></p><ul><li>⛩️ Kumano Kodo articles:<ul><li>⁦🔗 <a href="https://allabout-japan.com/en/article/11263/">All About Japan 1</a></li><li>⁦🔗 <a href="https://allabout-japan.com/en/article/11308/">All About Japan 2</a></li><li>⁦🔗 <a href="https://allabout-japan.com/en/article/11073/">All About Japan 3</a></li></ul></li><li>🚴‍♂️ <em>Cycling Across Japan for Japan</em> (Pecha Kucha + blog):<ul><li>⁦🔗 <a href="https://www.pechakucha.com/presentations/cycling-across-japan-for-japan">Pecha Kucha Presentation</a></li><li>⁦🔗 <a href="https://2hjdrbloge.blogspot.com/2011/09/1000-mile-cycling-for-disaster-relief.html">Disaster Relief Ride Blog</a></li></ul></li><li>📚 <em>A Passion for Japan</em>:<ul><li>⁦🔗 <a href="https://blueskyacademic.net/bluesky-publishing/a-passion-for-japan/">Book Page</a></li></ul></li><li> 🎤 <em>John on the TEDx Stage</em>:<ul><li>⁦🔗 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=palzyd_PUEA"><em>The Secret to Feeling at Home in Japan | TEDxOkayama University</em></a></li></ul></li><li>📘 <em>Textbook resource</em>:<ul><li>⁦🔗 <a href="https://cengagejapan.com/elt/ListeningVideo/page/?no=1412662013bfq7a">Cengage Listening &amp; Video</a></li></ul></li></ul><p><strong>Mentioned in this episode:</strong></p><ul><li>🥾 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfiUXiTg5z4">Craig Mod on Rich Roll</a></li><li>📖 <a href="https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Things-Become-Other-Walking-Memoir/dp/0593732545/ref=sr_1_1?crid=9BAWD1EKDT3E&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BJO7XnjeGL3_1GH4VQxclswpqtvRBuKetAi1SGk87GinTRAC_pySRnqVWA2Ga29VdfL5ICzg1zx6XAbR2D242mtL5vt-eh_vCwnM6imcuL_lAdNEyU2Oigg61Pe4A2rBHsyQDXOYWyKFn9eXAfsQxAvoW7vqA2cm02xWo0KscO9tvLVoCpjm6bArXTSgb5TRH3fkSmOhDtUknCoIoTNB4mw3Hdwm8Gf1VARMNKTmZOMprCQPtCVSeEU2ttalQOX_bmTPbc44_bah-QBnREwccYTEBXa5bpNiYfjMZkZSwY8.FLlZMtanbaP0TF24awx7uUoPJcnn2-fUQBuTWybYYbA&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=things+become+other+things&amp;qid=1750033555&amp;sprefix=things+become+other+thing%2Caps%2C160&amp;sr=8-1"><em>Things Become Other Things</em></a> by Craig Mod</li></ul><p>🎧 <strong>Outro Music:</strong></p><ul><li>🎵 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-ZYeVybaW4&amp;list=RDg-ZYeVybaW4&amp;start_radio=1">Mountains in the Mist – Phish</a></li><li>🎵 <a href="https://suno.com/song/8a53becc-625c-4ded-bd2f-da8a216c7fd7">Mountains in the Midst – Deep in Japan (Suno)</a></li></ul><p><strong>Enjoying the show?</strong> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/DeepinJapan76">Please consider supporting us</a>—every little bit helps keep the podcast going.

<p>Sometimes the only way to win is by finding the courage to lose. This week, Anne and Frances want you to “dare to be bad” in order to free up capacity to excel at more important things. They share insight on the power of strategic “no”s, the value of ruthless prioritization, and how Steve Jobs and Apple delivered breakthrough innovation by strategically underperforming. Frances explains why you can’t always trust your own instincts, and Anne reflects on the lessons she learned in her early days of parenting.&nbsp;</p><br /><p>What problems are you dealing with at work?
