GRANTED: My new podcast
You asked for a weekly podcast, and it's finally here. I'm excited to introduce my new show, Re:Thinking. In lively discussion and debates, we explore new thoughts—and new ways of thinking.
My guest this week is entrepreneur, Shark Tank investor, and NBA owner Mark Cuban. We discuss why you might be better off following your effort than your passion, when to bet on a person and an idea, his philosophy of disruption with Cost Plus Drugs, and the impact of narcissism on team chemistry and culture.

In future weeks, I'll be exploring fear and goals with death-defying rock climber Alex Honnold, mission and burnout with surgeon and public health leader Atul Gawande, brain hemispheres with neuroscientist Chantel Prat, writing as a tool for thinking with novelist Celeste Ng, expanding your universe with Nobel laureate physicist Saul Perlmutter, reinventing yourself with Oscar winner and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon, and mastering a craft with cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
Re:Thinking is a rebrand and expansion of the Taken for Granted series that we piloted last year and the bonus conversations we've done on WorkLife over the past few years. If you want to catch up on any of those discussions, start here:
