1280: Inside the Liberal Arts: Fascism, Politics, and Critical Thinking with Independent Writer Jeff Scheuer
When everything is reduced to headlines and outrage, real understanding gets lost. People aren’t encouraged to think—they’re pushed to react, to pick a side, to stay inside their echo chambers where everything feels familiar and comfortable. The problem is, complex issues can’t be solved with knee-jerk emotions or one-liners designed to provoke. When rational discourse is drowned out by manipulation, society loses its ability to solve problems, and people become easier to control, angrier, and more divided than ever.
Jeff Scheuer, an independent scholar and writer, specializes in media theory and critical thinking. He has authored Inside the Liberal Arts, The Soundbite Society, and The Big Picture, offering insights on democracy, journalism, and philosophy. His work explores the role of thoughtful analysis in society, and he actively shares essays on contemporary issues via Substack. Today, he examines the challenges of modern media, the necessity of critical thinking, and his upcoming essay on fascism. Stay tuned!

1279: Financially Speaking: Break Marketing Rules in Finance and Risk-Taking Secrets for Financial Success with UBS Executive Director Mitch Slater
It’s frustrating to feel invisible while others seem to get ahead with ease, as if they have some secret advantage. But more often than not, the real difference isn’t talent—it’s confidence, the willingness to put yourself out there, to take risks even when success isn’t guaranteed. Fear has a way of keeping people stuck, convincing them to play it safe instead of stepping into what makes them unique. The ones who rise aren’t always the most skilled, but they are the ones who refuse to let doubt keep them on the sidelines.
Mitch Slater, Executive Director of Digital Communications at UBS, blends financial advising with media and storytelling. Formerly a traditional advisor, he now hosts podcasts like Financially Speaking, Leadership Lounge and the upcoming Men, Women and Money. With a background in acting and experience working with legends like Larry King, he brings a unique approach to communication and marketing.
