In this week's episode, Negin is joined by Liz Miele and Matt Bellassai as they examine China's push to promote vocational training over college and if the US should consider a similar model. Negin and the panel break down an article in The Atlantic that claims to have the science of a replicating a career hot-streak. Then, they dig into a cultural “grab bag” of topics ranging from toxic positivity to COVID holiday plans to Aaron Rogers vaccination mishap.
