Some followers move to Teal’s healing center, a spiritual startup where they produce content and manage social media accounts. Teal insists her therapy saves lives, but her critics say Teal’s death-focused dogma is dangerous. Gizmodo reporter Jennings Brown traveled to rural Utah and to the forests of Costa Rica, with extensive access to Teal and her inner circle, to understand Teal’s teachings and investigate the deaths of some of her followers.

He's a Pulitzer-winning reporter for the New York Times and best-selling author, most recently of Smarter Faster Better, which plumbs the science of productivity. He talks with us about how you can motivate yourself to do horrible things like answer email, why some pilots crash planes when things go wrong and others don't, and why you want at least two women on any team you're on.

How to Use Improv to Change Your Life, With Ed Herbstman & Hannah Chase | This week on The Upgrade we're discussing how you can apply the principles of improvisational comedy to your life and work. Improv laid the foundation for many of our favorite comedy stars but it's more than just silly theater games. On this episode we're talking with Ed Herbstman, co-founder of the Magnet Theater and Hannah Chase, an improv teacher and performer, about how the lessons of improv apply to life itself.

Customer Reviews
This was my first podcast - Awesome
"How to Tell if You’re Dying"
This was great. Instead of worrying about every single symptom, do something that positively impacts your health (Walking, running, any exercise).
Keep making Upgrades!
Listening to Melissa and Alice during my morning commute is the best! They always make me laugh and the content is sharp, informative, and relevant.
Everything you'd ever want in a podcast
I feel completely at home here - bowled over by brilliant advice, nourishing conversations (w/ a healthy dose of full on belly laughs).
HIGHLY recommend listening and subscribing to The Upgrade if you're interested in a light-hearted approach to exploring your personal and professional evolution & development.
