Most of us think we're pretty good drivers. But even experienced drivers develop bad habits without realizing it. Fortunately, a few simple adjustments can make you a safer, more alert driver—and could even help you avoid a serious crash.https://www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety Ask people to name the greatest investor of all time and chances are Warren Buffett will top the list. So what does he know that the rest of us don't? What principles has he followed for decades that allowed him to build one of history's greatest fortunes—and how can ordinary investors put those same ideas to work? Here to explain is John Longo, Professor of Professional Practice in the Finance and Economics Department at Rutgers Business School and Chief Investment Officer of Beacon Trust, a $3+ billion registered investment advisor. He is co-author of the book, Buffett's Tips: A Guide to Financial Literacy and Life.(https://amzn.to/4fjckqZ) No matter how hard we try to avoid them, disagreements are a part of life. The problem is that too many of them quickly turn into arguments where no one changes their mind and everyone walks away frustrated. But research shows there are surprisingly effective ways to disagree that make people more willing to listen, preserve relationships, and often lead to better outcomes. Here with that practical advice is Julia Minson, a behavioral scientist whose work focuses on the psychology of disagreement. Her research has been featured in TIME, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. She is a professor at Harvard Kennedy School and author of the book How to Disagree Better (https://amzn.to/4wHHbEx). Many of us are making a common mistake with modern dishwashers that actually makes them clean worse. It feels like the right thing to do, but it can prevent the dishwasher from doing the job it was designed to do—and waste water in the process. https://www.consumerreports.org/appliances/dishwashers/how-to-load-a-dishwasher-a6704518317/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

Curiosity is a powerful engine, and Something You Should Know is built on the idea that a single conversation can shift your perspective in a meaningful way. Host Mike Carruthers, through OmniCast Media, sits down with researchers, authors, and practitioners across a surprisingly wide spectrum-from neuroscience and health to social dynamics and personal finance. The aim isn't just to accumulate facts, but to uncover practical wisdom you can apply directly. You might hear a psychologist explain the simple habit that strengthens relationships, followed by an economist demystifying how to build lasting wealth, and then a physiologist breaking down the real science behind effective fitness. This podcast operates on the belief that improvement is multifaceted; a tip for saving time can be as valuable as understanding a new scientific discovery. Each episode is a self-contained dive into a topic that could very well change your approach to your career, your health, or your daily routine. The tone is conversational and grounded, focusing on actionable takeaways rather than abstract theory. By weaving together insights from the fields of science, education, and self-improvement, the show provides a toolkit for navigating life's complexities. It’s the kind of listening that leaves you with something concrete-a strategy, a new understanding, or a piece of advice that resonates long after the episode ends.
