Summary

House Republicans have settled (for now) on another nominee for Speaker: Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.). A bipartisan group of 42 attorneys general is suing Meta, alleging that its apps are addictive and aimed at their youngest users. Wharton Professor, author, organizational psychologist, and “Re: Thinking” podcaster Adam Grant discusses his new book, “Hidden Potential.” He shares his advice for unlocking talent in ourselves and others, and offers a different metric for measuring success. WeWork’s former CEO Adam Neumann is in Riyadh for Saudi Arabia’s Future Investment Initiative. Having grown up in Israel, Neumann shares his grief for his home kibbutz, among those attacked in the Israel-Hamas War, and explains the role business can play in building a community to contribute to peace. Plus, where are you most productive? Blackstone’s Steve Schwarzman says remote workers are literally and metaphorically phoning it in. Adam Grant - 17:29 Adam Neumann - 27:35 In this episode: Adam Grant, @AdamMGrant Andrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkin Joe Kernen, @JoeSquawk Becky Quick, @BeckyQuick Katie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie
