In this episode of Innerversal, four students graduating from the class of 2026 at Brooklyn Technical High School - a future nursing student at Georgetown, fashion designer at the University of Arts London, biology undergraduate at Cornell, and computer science major at Brown - come together to illustrate the psychology of being a student.Throughout this conversation with diverse minds, we explore topics like resilience, transitioning into and away from remote learning, entering and graduating from a competitive high school, choosing the right college and major, inspiring mentors, advice for incoming high school freshman and seniors, the rise of artificial intelligence, and their expectations and anticipations for their respective futures.

How does a jam rock band play for an hour straight - or stay together for over 40 years?

In our 18th episode of The Innerversal Podcast , we sit down with Jon Fishman of Phish to talk about the intersections of psychology and music.

We also discuss his writing process, the endless list of musical artists that inspire him today and back when the band first formed in 1983 - including over 25 artists from around the world - where politics belong in music, what fame and success can do to musicians, and what aspiring artists should consider before deciding to pursue music full-time.
