Motley Fool Money - A Marketplace of Ideas
So, you’ve got an idea. But how do you get the backing to make your big dream a reality?
Becky Center is the CEO of Indiegogo, an online crowdfunding platform that’s helped over 800,000 entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life. Deidre Woollard caught up with Center to talk about:
- How tighter lending environments lead to entrepreneurship booms
- What drives backers to participate in funding campaigns that pay off in rewards rather than equity
- And how the laboratory-like nature of crowdfunding can help predict “the next big thing” before it goes mainstream
Host: Deidre Woollard Guest: Becky Center Producer: Mary Long Engineer: Rick Engdahl

Slate Books - Working: A TV Critic Pivots to Exposing Hollywood Abuses
This week, host June Thomas talks to journalist Maureen Ryan, author of the book Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood. In recent years, Ryan has pivoted from TV criticism to writing stories focused on abuses of power in the TV industry. Her new book touches on troubling situations on shows like Lost, Saturday Night Live, The Goldbergs, Sleepy Hollow, and more.
In the interview, Ryan discusses her reporting process and what it's felt like to watch the creators of some of her favorite shows come under fire.
After the interview, Thomas and co-host Nate Chinen discuss why there might be some reason for hope in Hollywood after all.
In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Ryan talks about how her pivot to this kind of reporting has affected her career.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Silurian Hypothesis
The universe is billions of years old.
If, in the future, humanity were to explore the galaxy and visit other planets around other stars, we might be visiting places where at one time, an advanced civilization once existed.
However, if such a civilization existed, it might have been millions of years in the past. If that was the case, how would we even know that it existed?
Also, what if we ask that same question of Earth rather than of alien worlds?
Learn more about the Silurian Hypothesis on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris, “Nobody’s Fool: Why We Get Taken in and What We Can Do about It” (Basic Books, 2023)
From phishing scams to Ponzi schemes, fraudulent science to fake art, chess cheaters to crypto hucksters, and marketers to magicians, our world brims with deception. In Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken in and What We Can Do about It (Basic Books, 2023), psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris show us how to avoid being taken in. They describe the key habits of thinking and reasoning that serve us well most of the time but make us vulnerable--like our tendency to accept what we see, stick to our commitments, and overvalue precision and consistency. Each chapter illustrates their new take on the science of deception, describing scams you've never heard of and shedding new light on some you have. Simons and Chabris provide memorable maxims and practical tools you can use to spot deception before it's too late.
Informative, illuminating, and entertaining, Nobody's Fool will protect us from charlatans in all their forms--and delight us along the way.
Debbie Sorenson is a psychologist in Denver and the host of the excellent podcast Psychologists Off the Clock.
