Interview: Mo News Workshop: Rewiring Your Brain for the Modern World Jan 02, 2026

Show notes

Our brains are extraordinary—honed over millennia to keep us alive on the savannas. But in today’s world, our brains have to contend with nonstop pings, endless choices, and algorithms engineered to hijack our attention.In this special Mo News Premium workshop, neuroscientist and brain-based change expert, Dominique Ashby—founder of ⁠neuro@work⁠ and a member of our own community—guides us through a 10-part toolkit to help reset your week. From taming information overload to protecting your focus and energy, she offers practical neuroscience strategies to give your brain the support it needs and make space for what matters most.

This workshop originally aired in August 2025.

Interview: Ken Burns On The Birth of American Democracy — and the Battles That Still Define It Jan 01, 2026

Show notes

Few filmmakers have shaped how we understand America quite like Ken Burns. In this episode, Ken joins Mosheh for an in-depth conversation about his newest project — The American Revolution, a sweeping six-part documentary on PBS (This episode originally aired in November 2025.)

The series reexamines America’s founding as more than a story of brilliant thinkers in Philadelphia — revealing a violent, fragile, and deeply human struggle for independence that almost failed. Burns explains how remarkable the American Revolution’s promise of “inalienable rights” was, and how the US influenced 200+ years of revolutions around the world. Burns explains why he thinks 1776 was the most consequential event since the birth of Jesus Christ.

Burns also discusses the present: What the Founders’ era can teach us about disinformation, division, and democracy in 2025. Why complexity — not simplicity — is the key to understanding our past and navigating our future. And how Burns finds optimism and faith in a nation that’s always been a work in progress.

The American Revolution streams at ⁠⁠PBS.org⁠⁠ and the PBS App.

Interview: How to Win at Travel: Expert Tips from ‘The Points Guy’ Dec 31, 2025

Show notes

We do a deep-dive into all things travel with Brian Kelly, the founder of The Points Guy and author of the new book, How to Win at Travel. (This episode originally aired in February 2025.)

Brian shares his extensive travel knowledge, offering invaluable tips on everything from finding the cheapest flights and mastering loyalty programs to overcoming the fear of flying and navigating jet lag.

We explore how to maximize credit card rewards, tips for redeeming points, and why some travel "bargains" might end up costing you more in the long run. Brian also offers practical advice on travel insurance, the dos and don’ts of booking flights and hotels, and the best tech tools for managing your travel experience.

Plus, we talk about how the world of loyalty programs is evolving, how Brian has evolved personally and professionally (including what it’s like being a father of two now), and why his 2024 year of no elite status with Delta has been liberating.

Interview: Psychotherapist Niro Feliciano on How To Have A Less Frantic and More Festive Holiday Season Dec 30, 2025

Show notes

It's officially the most wonderful time of the year— or is it? During the holidays, many of us are anything but cheerful. From Thanksgiving to Diwali, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza and New Year's, it‘s enough to make anyone feel frantic and frazzled.

In this episode, Jill sits down with Niro Feliciano, cognitive psychotherapist and author of the new book ‘⁠All is Calmish– How to Feel Less Frantic and More Festive During the Holidays⁠,' about the best ways to handle stress and feel joy during the holiday season. Niro has tips for dealing with grief, savoring key moments, knowing when to say "no," and even how to help kids (and adults) handle the influx of comparisons caused by social media and diverse holiday traditions.

You can subscribe to Niro's newsletter, ⁠Three Good Things⁠ , for more on gratitude, relationships, and wellness.
