ICYMI: Who Is Afraid of Woke Capitalism?
Mihir, Felix and NYU’s Dolly Chugh discuss the pressure on business leaders to conform to the demands of woke capitalism. Should you give in? Push back? What are the risks and rewards? Also: Feeling low lately? Chances are you are just getting older. We speculate why most people go through some sort of midlife crisis and talk about ways to better cope with life’s seemingly inevitable ups and downs. (Originally aired Nov. 2, 2022)

Customer Reviews
Need you back!
You have become my life essential. Look forward to the new season!
A Break?
Looks like the show is taking a break. I hope that it comes back!
It used to be great
The first few seasons instilled a Pavlovian response in me when I heard the intro music. I loved the agreeable disagreement between the three hosts, and thought it was a master class in civil discourse. Since Youngme left, and especially since the guests stopped coming on, the show lost its appeal for me. There need to be three folks on, and they need to have different perspectives, otherwise, no matter how much I admire both Mihir and Felix, it just becomes two intelligent fellows talking.
Oh, and please stop with the ICYMI episodes, Ted, there’s a reason we can look back at the entire catalog in our podcast apps—you don’t need to pander to us.
