    #31: Rediscovering Curiosity: Alex Hutchinson on Exploration
    2025/12/09

    Join Chad Stoloff as he delves into a captivating conversation with Alex Hutchinson, a renowned science journalist and author. Explore the essence of human curiosity and the drive to explore, as Alex shares insights from his latest book, "The Explorer's Gene." Discover how everyday adventures can reignite our innate desire to explore and learn, and why embracing challenges can bring meaning to our lives. Tune in for an inspiring discussion on curiosity, exploration, and the pursuit of growth.


    About Alex Hutchinson:

    I’m a science journalist based in Toronto, with a big-picture focus on human performance and particular interests in fitness, endurance sports, and the outdoors.

    I’ve written Outside magazine’s Sweat Science column since 2017 (check out the latest columns here), and before that I wrote a similar column for Runner’s World. I also write regular columns for the Globe and Mail and Canadian Running. I’ve contributed over the years to a wide variety of publications including the New York Times (where I earned a Lowell Thomas Award for my adventure travel writing), the New Yorker, and Popular Mechanics (where I won a National Magazine Award for my energy reporting).

    My latest book, published in March 2025, is an exploration of the science of exploring. It’s called The Explorer’s Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map; you can read more about it here. Before that, I wrote the New York Times bestseller Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance, and two other books about, respectively, the science of fitness and the greatest inventions of the modern world.

    I actually started out as a physicist, with a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge then a few years as a postdoctoral researcher with the U.S. National Security Agency, working on quantum computing and nanomechanics. During that time, I competed as a middle- and long-distance runner for the Canadian national team, mostly as a miler but also dabbling in cross-country and even a bit of mountain running, and maintained a side-hustle as an amateur jazz saxophonist. I still run most days, enjoy the rigors of hard training, and occasionally race. But I hate to think how I’d do on an undergraduate physics exam.

    #30: Sponsorship Secrets: How Rosalind Chow Builds Connections
    2025/12/02
    In this enlightening episode, join Chad Stoloff as he sits down with Rosalind Chow, a professor of organizational behavior at Carnegie Mellon University. They delve into the transformative power of sponsorship in the workplace, exploring how it differs from mentorship and how it can open doors for career advancement. Discover practical insights on how to sponsor others and gain sponsorship to create a more inclusive and successful professional environment. Tune in to learn how you can leverage your social connections to elevate your career and those around you.About Rosalind M. ChowI am a professor of Organizational Behavior and Theory at the Tepper School of Business, and am also affiliated with the Social and Decision Sciences group at Dietrich College. My research, teaching, and writing focus on how we all participate in social systems in ways that have implications for the maintenance or attenuation of inequitable outcomes. As such, we all also have the power to rethink how we engage with and in the social systems we inhabit and to use our social connections to elevate others.I currently serve as the faculty director for CLIMB, offered through the Tepper School of Business in partnership with Deloitte. CLIMB focuses on preparing professionals for leadership positions in the accounting industry. Prior to CLIMB, I served as the founding faculty director for the Executive Leadership Academy. I hold a BA in Psychology from Columbia University, and a PhD in Organizational Behavior from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Book — Rosalind M. ChowIn THE DOORS YOU CAN OPEN: A New Way to Network, Build Trust, and Use Your Influence to Create a More Inclusive Workplace (PublicAffairs; April 8, 2025), Carnegie Mellon organizational behavior researcher Dr. Rosalind Chow introduces the novel concept of sponsorship. While mentorship can change mentees for the better through valuable coaching and encouragement, sponsorship takes it one step further — sponsors can change the social environment around their proteges by actively advocating for, raising the social visibility of, and protecting them. Put simply, while mentors act on mentees, sponsors act on external observers – audiences –to change how they see proteges. We don’t just have the ability to change other people; we also have the ability to change other people’s relationships with one another. Drawing on decades of original research analyzing social hierarchies, corporate environments, and gender and race relations, Dr. Chow makes it clear that our current approach to relationships and career advancement is falling flat and urges everyone to engage in sponsorship — not just those at the uppermost levels. Sponsorship opens doors in the workplace, making it especially impactful for women and people of color, and ultimately leads to mutually beneficial lifelong connections.“Rosalind Chow has spent her career studying how to break barriers, and her book is filled with engaging stories, compelling evidence, and actionable advice.”— Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THINK AGAINFollow Rosalind: Rosalind M.

    #28: Unlocking Wisdom: How Distancing Transforms Decision-Making with Michael Gillespie
    2025/10/29

    In this enlightening episode, join Michael Gillespie as he delves into the transformative power of distancing in decision-making. Discover how stepping back can unlock deeper insights and lead to wiser choices. Whether you're navigating personal dilemmas or professional challenges, learn how to harness this powerful tool to enhance your decision-making process. Tune in for practical tips and thought-provoking discussions that will change the way you approach decisions.


    Dr. Michael A. Gillespie is an Associate Professor of Psychology at University of South Florida. He teaches on the Sarasota-Manatee campus and directs the Human Applied Cognition and Decision-making lab on the Tampa campus. His research interests include decision-making at work, critical thinking, values, organizational culture, psychological measures, and job attitudes.


    His book, Distancing: How Great Leaders Reframe to Make Better Decisions which he co-authored with David Marquet came out August 12, 2025.

    In Distancing, bestselling author and former submarine captain David Marquet (Turn the Ship Around!) and psychology professor Michael Gillespie introduce a powerful solution: distancing. This simple but underused superpower lets us step outside ourselves to see with clarity and decide with wisdom.
    Through three practices—Be Someone Else, Be Somewhere Else, Be Sometime Else—we adopt the perspective of a coach, view our situation from afar, or become our wiser future self. Each unlocks instant insight, reduces anxiety, and improves judgment.
