Charisma vs. Innovation

I promise this episode will make you smarter. I've wanted Matt Ridely on the podcast my whole life. He's a major influence on my brain. Every time I read his books, I physically feel my IQ increase. His new book is "How Innovation Works: And Why It Flourishes in Freedom." And I'm already on my third read of it. Here's a break down of what we talk about: How to think like an innovator Why you don't need pre-approved credentials to have an attention-worthy point of view How to develop evidence that backs your outlook in life How to overcome credentials bias How to overcome confirmation bias How to measure if your point of view and create new arguments The difference between scientists and innovators Who's qualified to predict the future and who ISN'T And more that will help you think critically, strategically and innovatively I write about all my podcasts!
