Today’s guest is John Hollway, a Professor at Penn Carey Law School and a Positive Psychology Expert.
When we are in college or early into our 20s, many of us struggle with our identity. We’ve spent our entire lives “LinkedIn chasing,” trying to accumulate the best titles, jobs, and accolades. At some point, we all have a realization that we are living an unfulfilling life because we’ve been chasing another person’s definition of success.

What really happens inside Yale's secret societies?
In this episode of OTL at Night, Mason, Ejiro, and Kelvin break down the truth about Yale secret societies, including the tap process, the "scramble," the infamous Skull and Bones, and more.
If you've ever wondered:
What is a secret society?
How do I get into a secret society as a Yale student?
How does the tap process work?
Are societies actually that secret?
Was Kelvin really in Skull and Bones?
This episode is for you!
After being in society as seniors at Yale and going through the tap process, we decided to share a bit more insight into the whole experience. We hope to demystify the topic to curious listeners and make those who will be tapped in the future a little less stressed!

The most unbelievable season in college football you’ve never heard of...
Before this year, Nico Brown was a name almost nobody in the sport knew.
Then, in his senior season at Yale, he became the highest graded wide receiver in the country according to PFF, went for 1,085 yards, earned All-American honors, won an Ivy League championship, and became one of the most sought-after players in the transfer portal — now headed to Stanford.
This is the story behind that rise.
We talk about:
The injuries and setbacks that kept him off the field for three years
His mindset and confidence that separates him from the rest
What changed going into 2025
How Yale produced the #1 WR in America
What it feels like to go from “unknown” to the best in the nation
