Suneel Gupta

What does business and love have in common? That highly desirable, very elusive “It Factor.” Whether you’re dating or pitching a startup, it’s more than having charm, looks, and charisma; it’s about having conviction and passion about what you do, and who you are.

Our guest this week, author and professor Suneel Gupta, cracks the code on how to pick a winner, how to stand out, and how to get someone to take a chance on you. In other words, how to be “Backable,” the name of his forthcoming new book.

Suneel Gupta is on faculty at Harvard University where he teaches students how to be “Backable.” Using the 7 steps inside this book, Suneel went from being the face of failure for the New York Times to being the “New Face of Innovation” for the New York Stock Exchange.

We’ve all chased love at one time or another, some of us still do. We do it when we’re lonely or insecure, when we seek approval or need connection. We chase love because we don’t trust it will come on its own. And the harder we try to catch it, the further it stays away. 

Not even a pandemic will slow the chase!

On this episode, Dasha Schindler, author of the new book “Don’t Chase Love, Cut To The Chase: Or, How To Google Your Way To A Happy Relationship,” shares her story of childhood trauma, her lifelong pursuit to heal her heart, and her secret to finding love without having to chase it.

In an election year that’s more contentious than ever, can you hate someone’s politics but still love them anyway?

According to our guests Jeanne Safer and Richard Brookhiser, it’s possible.

Jeanne is a Liberal, and the author of the book, “I Love You, But I Hate Your Politics.” Richard is a Conservative, and the Sr. Editor of the National Review, the leading conservative journal of opinion. The’ve been happily married for 40 years, despite being on opposite sides of the aisle.

Jeanne Safer is a psychoanalyst and author. Her book “I Love You, But I Hate Your Politics” is a compilation of interviews with people who are struggling to work out relationships with political opponents whom they love. Based on her long personal and professional experience, Jeanne helps them figure out what to do and say and–just as important–what NOT to do and say. It’s really about the nature of love, and what really matters in intimacy. It’s what Jeanne calls “showing up,” not how you vote.

Richard Brookhiser is an historian and political journalist. Aside from his Senior Editor duties at the National Review, he’s written 14 books, mostly about the American Founding. His most recent is “Give Me Liberty: A History of America’s Exceptional Idea.” He has also hosted three documentaries, the most recent is John Marshall: The Man Who Made the Supreme Court,” which is available on Amazon.

Today’s post-50 women are free to be who they want, date who they want, and be equal partners with the ones they love.

Older women/younger men, your time has come. 

Joining the discussion is Vicki Larson, award-winning journalist, and co-author of the book “The New I Do: Reshaping Marriage for Skeptics, Realists and Rebels.”
