The Laws Of Human Nature - Robert Greene - #078 Jun 06, 2019

Show notes

Robert Greene is a New York Times best selling author.

You can be a genius in your field and know all the things you need to know, but if you're bad with people you will totally neutralise your brilliance and can face many difficulties and pains in life...

Today we're talking about Robert's new book The Laws Of Human Nature, as we delve deep into understanding people’s drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves.

Robert names this most recent publication "the culmination of the last 20 years of his work" - so get ready for some fantastic insights.

The Problem With Millennials - Theo Watt & Eve Young - #073 May 20, 2019

Show notes

Theo Watt and Eve Young are the hosts of the Socials Minds Podcast and Copywriters at Social Chain.

We talk about millennials and Gen Z like homogenous groups, but technology and innovation have made it problematic to index generations by 15 year gaps. A person who is 12 will have little in common with someone who is 27, as will a person who is 25 have little in common with someone who is 34.

And yet, despite online platforms allowing you to target by age, world view and even household income now, there are those that still tar all millennials, all Gen Z, or worse, millennials and Gen Z together with the same brush.

Theo & Eve lay out their issues with the current classification system for young people as a whole and explain exactly why it's not only inaccurate but also damaging to the members of that group.

Massive thanks to Social Chain and Video Guy Ollie for letting us use their beautiful studio & podcast setup.
