97: Reclaiming Conversation by Sherry Turkle Jul 10, 2020

Show notes

In our digital age, it’s easy to stay connected. Emails, text messages, and social media allow us to share snippets of our lives with others- without really having to look, listen, or reveal ourselves. Today’s author argues that we have lost the art of conversation, and makes the case that now, more than ever, is the time to get it back.

96: Triggers by Marshall Goldsmith Jun 26, 2020

Show notes

Do you ever find yourself reacting to something, then immediately saying something like, “I can’t believe I just did that?” It may not be your fault – at least, not entirely. Join Joe & Mike as they take a look at the triggers in their own environments and consider how to overcome them – without doing or saying something that they later regret.

93: Nudge by Richard Thaler May 15, 2020

Show notes

Whether it’s deciding what to eat for dinner or which investments to pick for our 401k, we humans have a track record of making poor choices. But is it really our fault? Today’s author argues that choice architecture is largely to blame, and explains how small nudges can help move us in a better direction. Join Joe & Mike as they consider why we make the choices we do – and how we can make better ones in the future.
