Jack SelbyGUEST
And so I pitched him and said, okay, If you participate as an LP in my fund, what percentage of your beloved alma mater, Case Western, what percentage of that graduating class can we keep in Cleveland? I'm not saying it's 100%, but it's definitely not 0%.
David WeisburdHOST
You're trying to prove the counterfactual, which is if there's a lot of brain drain going on in the area, what would happen? And this is the
Jack SelbyGUEST
problem, because otherwise we can go back and forth and it becomes a circular discussion.
Jack SelbyGUEST
It's very difficult to disprove, which I would concede.
Rebecca StaplesHOST
Hey y'all, welcome back to another episode hosted by BiggerPi Forum regarding brain drain.
Rebecca StaplesHOST
In Mississippi, that's a term we use to look at, are we keeping our population here? And if not, how do we keep Mississippians here so they can live, work, and raise families? And hopefully those kids will also choose to live and work here because we all know this is the best state in the union.
Rebecca StaplesHOST
So I'm excited.

Rebecca StaplesHOST
Well, one thing that I want to talk about, you kind of mentioned the gravitational pull of Southerners to each other.
Rebecca StaplesHOST
And I do think of Mississippi and our Southern neighbors being very relational.
Rebecca StaplesHOST
And so one thing that's come up in these conversations about brain drain or choosing to stay here is the role of mentorships or sort of adults or leaders in your lives who maybe encouraged you or sort of a culture of support.
Rebecca StaplesHOST
So I want to ask you, you mentioned staying in Myrtle near your grandparents and then you met your wife at Blue Mountain.
Rebecca StaplesHOST
And so what role did you feel mentorship, support from the community and your family and then meeting your wife? Like, was that a big factor in staying here and on your journey?
Roger GoldmanHOST
And that is, you know, for decades, the United States benefited from attracting the world's best scientists.
Roger GoldmanHOST
How much of that advantage was ultimately a consequence of dependable foreign research fundings at the universities and at places like the NIH? And what's going to happen if it goes away? Are we going to see a brain drain? I mean, that's what I'm really asking.
Pierre AzoulayGUEST
Right.
Pierre AzoulayGUEST
Well, I think you're putting your finger on it.
Pierre AzoulayGUEST
And so that diffusion of talent across time and space, that is the return on that investment.
Pierre AzoulayGUEST
That's the way in which that return is realized, rather.
Pierre AzoulayGUEST
And so on whether we're seeing a brain drain, I want to be careful.
Pierre AzoulayGUEST
It's too early to say it's happening.
Jonathan HackettGUEST
So it's kind of like super logical to have them here instead of anywhere else on the planet.
Jonathan HackettGUEST
Yeah, it's brain drain.
Jack MurphyHOST
Yep.
Jack MurphyHOST
Do you want to get into this New York Times story, guys?
Joe NogaHOST
Clinton's been pretty good at developing pitchers like Messick, but keeping the people who develop that talent around is starting to become its own challenge in Cleveland.
Joe NogaHOST
Guardians are experiencing a little bit of a brain drain here.
Joe NogaHOST
Coaches, executives, guys who are sort of on the list, always guys in the front office in Cleveland.
Joe NogaHOST
on the lists of several teams looking to fill jobs.
CorbinHOST
Thank you very much for clicking on this video.
CorbinHOST
Last offseason, we saw what was called a brain drain with the Red Sox front office.
CorbinHOST
Paul Tobani, one of the most talented baseball minds in the Red Sox organization, left to go run the Washington Nationals, and when he did...
CorbinHOST
He took Devin Pearson, Andrew Wright, and others with him to the Nationals, completing what's called a brain drain, which is essentially when a company loses a whole bunch of really good employees to go run something else.
CorbinHOST
Well, something similar is happening this offseason, and we're going to talk about what this means for the Red Sox front office.
CorbinHOST
and why it could end up resulting in kind of a major shakeup for this Red Sox team.
CorbinHOST
Plus, on top of that, Alex Cora, for the first time since he was fired by the Boston Red Sox, sat down and did an English interview, kind of talking about everything that went on in there.
CorbinHOST
So we're going to break down the biggest highlights from that, what it could mean for the Red Sox going forward, all that good stuff.
Gerard HollandGUEST
That's That is not what this program is about, that you're going to work for a company based in America for two years, then you're going to move to America.
Gerard HollandGUEST
And the reason I have that position is that I don't want the brain drain.
Gerard HollandGUEST
We've got to keep the best and the brightest in Africa to build Africa.
Gerard HollandGUEST
And the good news is, is a lot of Africans do want to stay in Africa.
Ricardo NobreHOST
We have clients across all the continents.
Ricardo NobreHOST
We are requested to move people because of that human touch, because they need to have their talent in-house.
Ricardo NobreHOST
And we need, of course, to be aware of the brain drain.
Ricardo NobreHOST
We move it into brain circulation.
Johnny HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There's a name for this.
Johnny HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Brain drain.
Neil deGrasse TysonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Brain drain, where we start to lose some of our best and brightest young scientists because they think they will have a better chance in another part of the world.
Neil deGrasse TysonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That would be terribly tragic.
Johnny HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's what happened to Greece after 2008, to Eastern Europe after the Soviet collapse.
Johnny HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
For most of American history, brain drain was something that happened to other countries because their best people were coming to the U.S. That assumption is now genuinely in question.
Johnny HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The American dream has just become too expensive, so people are going somewhere else to find it.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
groceries feel more affordable and public transportation makes it so much easier to get around flights
Todd WhitcombPANELIST
Anyways, it's...
Todd WhitcombPANELIST
Yeah, I mean, the brain drain has happened perpetually, and it's part of the reason why we, back in 2001, this was the whole problem.
Todd WhitcombPANELIST
We were having a brain drain.
Todd WhitcombPANELIST
Back in the late 1980s, we were having a brain drain.
Todd WhitcombPANELIST
It's always been thus, and we just can't seem to keep good brains in Canada.
Herb MartinPANELIST
Herb, do you agree with that? Yeah, I mean, but on the flip side, you know, we're gaining a lot of pretty brainy people from the States at the moment.
Chris BakerHOST
According to figures highlighted by the organization Build Canada, more than 120,000 people were estimated to have emigrated from Canada in 2025.
Chris BakerHOST
That was the estimate available when the organization raised the alarm about our brain drain happening in this country.
Chris BakerHOST
But here's the statistic that should really get your attention.
Chris BakerHOST
Statistics Canada published a fascinating portrait of Canadian emigration earlier on this year in 2026.

What do you think of all of this? What do you think of the brain drain happening in this country? What do you think of the government not providing opportunities for people to want to build their businesses here? What do you think of them trying to attract people from elsewhere while also not trying to keep people here? Let's talk about it down in the comments down below.
Chris BakerHOST
And we'll be back at 6 o'clock in the morning tomorrow, 6 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, that is.
