Cornell (thank) U

Mike "Vino" Levine has one of the most powerful jobs in sports as Co-Head of CAA Sports, representing some of the biggest athletes, coaches, and personalities in the world.
But that's not why we loved this conversation.
Vino takes us from Chappaqua and Cornell lacrosse to the top of the sports industry, sharing stories about friendship, teamwork, mentorship, family, and the relationships that have shaped his life and career.
We talk Cornell, Coach Richie Moran, fraternity life, the New York Knicks, lifelong friendships, and why Vino believes anything is possible from anyone.
He's successful, funny, humble, and exactly the kind of person you'd want sitting next to you at a Cornell reunion—or any dinner party.
We loved this one.

Adam Rosenberg '92 thought he might become a lawyer or work in politics. Instead, he built one of the most impactful careers we've ever featured on the podcast.
Today, Adam leads programs that support more than 10,000 survivors of violence each year, working with children, families, and communities during some of the hardest moments imaginable.
But before all of that, he was living the full Cornell experience—hockey games, Hot Truck, concerts, fraternity life, Cornell in Washington, and even a Cornell version of MTV's Remote Control. 
Adam shares his unlikely path from Cornell student to national leader in violence prevention, what every parent should know, and why hope remains at the center of everything he does.
This conversation is equal parts inspiring and eye-opening with some fun sprinkled in because Adam is just a great guy. 
We loved this one.

Cornell rising junior Noah Farb joins us after a viral video and widely shared Free Press article suddenly put him at the center of a national conversation about Cornell and President Kotlikoff.
Noah talks about why he decided to speak out, how students reacted, and what it feels like to suddenly become one of the most talked-about student voices on campus.
Beyond the politics, this episode is also a snapshot of modern Cornell life: blockchain club meetings, frat house living, Slope Day, campus traditions, and the people Noah says make every day at Cornell happy and memorable.
It's a great conversation about campus culture, free speech, and finding your voice — plus why Noah’s writing and content have resonated with so many people so quickly.

Rob Gregor is back — and since we last spoke, he’s entered an entirely new world: finance YouTube.
The Cornell alum, lawyer, hotelier, investor, and Hotel School guest lecturer has launched The Hostile Takeover TV with his 15-year-old son Joseph, a channel designed to teach Gen Z about money, investing, AI, and financial survival in an increasingly uncertain economy.
You simply have to check it out to understand why we know it's going to be successful and why they should be in every middle and high school just like Bill Nye.
We loved catching up with him - he's the best.

Why do students describe Dr. Lauren Korfine as “life-changing”?
In this episode, the beloved Human Ecology professor opens up about mental health, imposter syndrome, anxiety, heartbreak, gender, campus culture, and what students today are really struggling with. 
We also talk about her unexpected path from Cornell student… to Harvard… to working as a doula for 17 years before returning to the classroom.
The buzz is accurate, she is warm, thoughtful, and deeply relatable — this is one of those conversations that stays with you. 
Thank you to our fave, Lori Isman Greene, for the introduction!
