In this episode of One Day, Jon interviews Professor David Hollander to talk about basketball (and a few other things). Professor David talks about the many metaphors that can exist between the sport and other super important areas of life like science and history and how the same principles taught in sociology and philosophy can be applied into basketball lessons as well. His upcoming book goes live in February 2023.

The content available in the book tries to show us a new way of thinking and a new way of setting parameters in modern times. According to the author, some basketball rules and guidelines and values (like companionship and cooperation) are just the right tool we need to face global problems like racism and economy setbacks. Tune in to listen to the whole discussion about this and other relevant topics!

“It’s unbelievable how little space we have just for us, just for our thoughts, just for ourselves, and so a basketball court has been a meditative space for a lot of people.” – Professor David Hollander

In this episode of One Day we talk about:

Money at the gilded age and entrepreneurship coming to life;
Inflation and its connection with people quitting their jobs;
The future of the working industry in the country;
Drugs and alcohol glamorization;
Professor David talks about the principles of his book;
How these principles can change society and set a new way of thinking;
Can basketball be the answer?
Stress management and how to control ego.

Making Products That Last a Lifetime | GoRuck, CEO Jason McCarthy 1:00:26

45 weeksที่แล้ว1:00:26

1:00:26

In 2008, while Jason was in Special Forces and Emily his wife was in the CIA, they started GORUCK out of her house in war-torn West Africa. The goal was pretty simple: build a rucksack with life or death quality standards that would thrive in Baghdad and NYC, not to mention Côte d’Ivoire — and show people of all walks of life how to operate smartly and safely in some of the harshest environments in the world (using said rucksack). How to travel, how to train, how to get the most out of a life where adventure calls and tomorrow is never promised. They didn’t have a business plan and weren’t willing to compromise on basically anything, so this little project called GORUCK cost them almost everything they had. But sometimes you have to put all your chips on the table and say come what may. What Jason and Emily found (with no time to spare) was a like-minded community of people who proudly proclaim that "the easy life is not for us." When you’ve survived the things that Jason & Emily have, and your inspiration in life becomes normal people doing extraordinary things, what you realize is that you don’t owe less — you owe more. Please enjoy this wide-ranging and personal conversation with Jason and Jon!…
