Let’s talk about the three things women are told not to do: negotiate, network unapologetically, and say no like we mean it. Most of us have been programmed to default to yes—to the point that we feel guilty saying no, even when it’s the most obvious answer. And when we do say no? We often soften it, explain it away, and sugarcoat it so much that it barely sounds like a no at all. Kathryn Valentine—CEO of Worthmore Strategies and corporate badass helping companies retain and promote female talent—is here to flip that script. With experience advising Fortune 100s and dropping knowledge in places like HBR and Fast Company, Kathryn knows exactly how women can claim their worth, own their voice, and not feel bad about it. From salary talks to schedule shifts, from asking for more to turning down what doesn’t serve you, this episode is your reminder: your power doesn't come from being liked. It comes from knowing what matters and having the guts to go after it. Kathryn even drops her epic list of 76 things you can negotiate (yes, SEVENTY-SIX). So if you've ever softened your no or stayed silent in a meeting, this one’s for you.

Why the United States Is Really Losing to China (w/ Kishore Mahbubani) 44:56

Kishore Mahbubani is a renowned diplomat, scholar, and one of the most insightful analysts of global power dynamics. He served as Singapore’s Ambassador to the United Nations and as President of the UN Security Council, and is the author of books including "Has China Won?" and "Has the West Lost It?" Mahbubani joins Current Affairs to explain why the United States is losing ground to China--not because of Chinese aggression, but because of internal dysfunction, elite failure, and strategic incoherence. He critiques the emotional, zero-sum mindset dominating U.S. foreign policy and calls for a more rational, cooperative approach to global affairs. 🌏 Follow Kishore on Twitter: https://x.com/mahbubani_k 🌏 Buy Kishore's Books: https://mahbubani.net/books/ 0:00-3:57 The Good News 3:57- 6:54 Why Americans Fear China 6:54-9:51 The Failure of American Elites 9:51-15:31 Why Trump Should Work With China 15:31-21:38 Is China Communist? 21:38-23:37 Is America The Best Model? 23:37-27:14 Does America Think Strategically? 27:14-30:08 America's Wasteful Defense Spending 30:08-35:15 America's Strategic Errors 35:15-41:17 America's Disdain for the UN 41:17-46:17 The Potential For Cooperation 🦩SUBSCRIBE TO CURRENT AFFAIRS MAGAZINE: https://www.currentaffairs.org/membership 🦩 PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/c/CurrentAffairs 🦩THE MYTH OF AMERICAN IDEALISM: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/738224/the-myth-of-american-idealism-by-noam-chomsky-and-nathan-j-robinson/…

How Ordinary People Can Fight Trump (w/ Ralph Nader) 51:08

منذ 8 weeks51:08

51:08

Ralph Nader is one of the most important and successful activists in American political history. He played a key role in creating the consumer rights movement in the 1960s and ’70s, and his push for auto safety regulation led to measures that saved countless lives. He has also run multiple insurgent campaigns for president, challenging the two-party system and offering powerful criticisms of corporate power. Nader joins Current Affairs to analyze Donald Trump’s authoritarianism, the Democratic Party’s failure to offer a compelling alternative, and the media’s role in narrowing public imagination. He also responds to Ezra Klein’s recent critique in Abundance, arguing that it shifts blame away from institutional failures and undermines genuine political accountability. 📣 Ralph's latest book, Civic Self Respect: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/718731/civic-self-respect-by-ralph-nader/ 📣 Ralph's website: https://nader.org/ 📣 Interview transcript: https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/ralph-nader-on 0:00–5:36 Trump’s Authoritarian Rule 5:36–10:39 What Deserves Our Focus Now 10:39–15:43 Democratic Party Malpractice 15:43–21:19 Ezra Klein’s Attack on Nader 21:19–29:45 How Ordinary People Build Power 29:45–38:39 Proven Victories by Citizen Action 38:39–45:58 Pessimism as a Tool of Control 45:58–52:28 Nader Reflects on His Life's Work 🦩SUBSCRIBE TO CURRENT AFFAIRS MAGAZINE: https://www.currentaffairs.org/membership 🦩 PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/c/CurrentAffairs 🦩THE MYTH OF AMERICAN IDEALISM: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/738224/the-myth-of-american-idealism-by-noam-chomsky-and-nathan-j-robinson/…
