How to know who your real friends are
Cherie Brooke Luo & Jean Luo
Three girls' trips in two weekends, and what they showed: find your tribe, keep a thread going, say what you see in your friends out loud — and ask yourself whether you can tell them when you're hurt.
Everything from this one- The friendship auditFriendship auditThe episode's own exercise, dealt as six cards. Stars for honest, specific answers — and a pinch jar that turns into a crunch at three.Open
- Holiday, not vacationHoliday, not vacationPack activity tiles into days and watch the needle swing between Jean's vacation and her spring-water holiday.Open
- The threadThe threadOne bead per friend, one thread per bead — books, Survivor, whatever you two keep going back to. Pull one and send the Saturday text.Open

Never too old to be a beginner
Cherie Brooke Luo & Jean Luo
School hands you a syllabus and then stops. Staying a student means building that structure yourself — and relearning the skill adulthood quietly takes away: being bad at something.
Everything from this one- Build the structureEnrichment curriculumOne subject, one skill, one teacher, one room — the episode's own exercise, with the weekly slot school used to supply.Open
- Be bad at itBad beginnerSomething new, or something you used to be good at. Book the first bad attempt — and decide now when you would let yourself quit.Open

Winning Writing, with Glenn Kramon
With Glenn Kramon, Stanford GSB
AI raised everybody's default, so the default is now the floor. What makes you one in a million is warmth and competence — and both of them fail the same way, by producing writing that would survive a find-and-replace of the recipient's name.
Everything from this one- One in a millionCold email checkPaste the email you were about to send. Eight checks, cheapest first, ending with the one only you can answer.Open
- CompetenceShow don't sayType the adjective you were going to use about yourself. It makes you write the scene that replaces it.Open
- What AI cannot doGratitude noteHis favourite assignment, and the one thing a model cannot do — because it does not remember what you remember.Open
Reddit, with Jen Wong
With Jen Wong, COO of Reddit
Reddit is a dinner party. The ad model, the communities, and the things people will say anonymously that they would never say under their own name all follow from that one fact.
Everything from this one- Add valueDinner party checkPaste the post you were about to drop in a subreddit. Find out whether you are adding value or selling at the table.Open
- Human analoguesWhere to show upSay what you actually want. It names the move — and refuses to call it organic when what you want is an ad.Open
- Reinvent at any timeReinvention mapYou cannot architect a life. You can read one backwards and name what each chapter actually bought you.Open
LinkedIn Masterclass, part two
Cherie Brooke Luo & Jean Luo
Listeners sent in their profiles to be roasted, kindly. Every one was already good, and every one had a field sitting empty — usually one they did not know was a field.
Everything from this one- The reviewsProfile auditRun the same review three listeners asked for on your own profile — photo, banner, pronunciation, headline, About.Open
- Two or three ideasHeadline builderThe most valuable line on your profile, cut back to the two or three thoughts it can actually carry.Open
- Deliver valuePost checkPaste the draft you were about to publish and find out whether it teaches anything — or only flexes.Open
AI Masterclass with Cat GPT
With Cat GPT
AI does not produce a business. It removes the six to ten hires you would otherwise have needed — but only once you brief it like one of them.
Everything from this one- Access · Context · CriteriaOnboarding doc builderWrite the brief you would give a new hire, as the markdown file the tool reads every time it starts.Open
- MetapromptingPrompt upgraderTake the rough thing you were going to type and wrap it in the techniques that work regardless of the question.Open
- Agents, demystifiedAutomation recipeTurn a recurring manual chore into a plain-English automation — and find out whether it is safe to schedule yet.Open
