If you’re anything like me then you have a thirst for knowledge and consume a lot of content, whether it be through books, audiobooks, podcasts, blog posts, keynotes, conversations or a combination of all of the aforementioned. And if you’re anything like me you wish you retained more of what you actually consumed so that you could easily recall it later, either to support your work or a conversation you are having. I have previously published an article on learning how to learn in which I detailed some of the different methods I use to retain more of what I consume which included techniques like typing out the notes I highlight in a book, incorporating what I’ve learned into a blog post, otherwise teaching others what I’ve learned and best of all, applying what I’ve learned. However, while the aforementioned techniques all work really well for remembering bits and pieces of a book for example, it didn’t help me to retain all of the key points. So I’ve decided to start writing book summaries, not only to aid my own learning and retention of key pieces of information, but also to help you accelerate your learning. While I am definitely not at the level of some autodidacts I know, during a typical year I read about 40 books, listen to about 20 audiobooks, listen to at least 500 podcast episodes, read countless blog posts and have over 100 conversations on my podcast with thought leaders in their field. As such, I hope to bring you a lot of value by doing these books summaries, which will also be available on my podcast. I’ve decided to kick things off with neuroendocrinologist Robert Sapolsky’s 2017 book, Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst, which has been the best book I’ve read this year by far. I distilled the 680 page book into 40 Google Doc pages of notes and now aim to further distill some of the key points into this blog post for your consumption. The one thing I absolutely loved about this book is that it clearly demonstrates how taking sides in life is fraught with folly. Time and time again throughout this book Sapolsky will point to various studies and arguments that convince you of one position, only to pull the rug out from underneath your feet with an equally compelling counterargument. Becoming more comfortable with the notion of ‘strong opinions, weakly held’ and seeking out information not only to prove or validate your view but also to discredit and invalidate it, will lead to the ‘more right’ solution. However, when it comes to almost anything, we can almost never say we are absolutely right because there are so many potential variables and bits of information that we’re just not taking into account. We can only ever make the ‘most right’ decision in the moment based on the information that we have at our disposal, how we choose to interpret that information, what our goals are and over what period of time we wish to achieve them. Author: Robert Morris Sapolsky (born April 6, 1957) is an American neuroendocrinologist and author. He is currently a professor of biology, and professor of neurology and neurological sciences and, by courtesy, neurosurgery, at Stanford University. He has appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience. Length: 680 pages Premise: The book aims to answer, or at least help us to better understand the possible answers to the question, “why did the chicken cross the road?” The chicken of course is proverbial for us, human beings.

In poker, your bankroll represents how much money you’ve set aside exclusively to play. Former World Series of Poker champion, author and decision strategist Annie Duke says that you should always play withinyour bankroll. If you have $2,000 in your pocket but have bills and outgoings totalling $1,500 then you don’t have $2,000 to play with, you have $500, and you should not play beyond that. By playing within your bankroll you’re less likely to fall victim to the sunk cost bias - our tendency to chase our losses - or to bet more than you can afford to lose. How much are you willing to lose? --- Join Steve's mailing list at futuresquared.xyz/subscribe ‍ Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Spotify @ spoti.fi/2G2QsxV  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @ bit.ly/FSGoog  If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared  Like us?

  Rand Fishkin is the founder of SparkToro and was previously cofounder of Moz and Inbound.org. He’s dedicated his professional life to helping people do better marketing through the Whiteboard Friday video series and his blog. If you feed him great pasta or great whisky, he’ll give you the cheat code to rank #1 on Google. Long time listeners of Future Squared might remember Rand from episode #22, when we discussed content marketing for large organisations as well as more importantly perhaps, Australia's Sullivan’s Cove whisky. One thing we also touched on in that conversation was Rand’s tussle with depression and how he ultimately had to step down as the CEO of the company he founded. While Rand has gone on to start another company, he hasn’t done so without coming to a number of confronting realisations about building a company that he has captured in his brand new book, Lost and Founder: A Painfully Honest Field Guide to the Startup World. This book will form the basis of today’s conversation and with so much “Rah rah overnight success stories” out there, arguably polluting the public’s perception of startup life, it’s refreshing to read the take of a respected founder like Rand on the truth about building a company and how it’s not all unicorns and ping pong tables. Having read the book and found it very informative, I couldn’t wait to get linked up with Rand again, after more than 2 years, to dive in, so with that, I bring you the one and only Rand Fishkin!   In this episode we discussed: Why startups don’t need venture capital to get going Why founding a top 5% startup won’t necessarily make you rich The benefits of starting with a service based business before building a product The importance of values alignment in hiring and firing How to keep your energy and enthusiasm levels high Radical transparency Hiring for diversity of what you can’t see, not just what you can SparkToro   Show Notes: Twitter: @randfish Get his books on Amazon: Lost and Founder: https://amzn.to/2BSOSRA The Art of SEO: https://amzn.to/2PAGt8m Rand’s new company: Sparktoro.com   Open source funding document: sparktoro.com/blog/raised-a-very-unusual-round-of-funding-were-open-sourcing-our-docs/ Show Notes: www.linkedin.com/in/steveglaveski  Join Steve's mailing list at futuresquared.xyz/subscribe  Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Spotify @ spoti.fi/2G2QsxV  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @ bit.ly/FSGoog ‍ If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared  Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us? ‍It'd make our day if you took 1 minute to show some love on iTunes, Stitcher or Soundcloud by subscribing, sharing and giving us a 5 star rating. ‍ For more information on Collective Campus, our innovation hub, school and consultancy based in Australia and Singapore check out www.collectivecampus.io GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack   Hosted on Acast.

Oftentimes when we first embark upon something, be it a new romantic relationship, or a new business, our dopamine receptors are super-active. However, over time, they get blunted and require a higher frequency or intensity of exposure to that thing that got us buzzing in the first place. So many entrepreneurs get excited when they start something but their investment and energy tapers off once that initial buzz wears off.  With that in mind, How might you maintain the enthusiasm and energy required to maintain your investment and effort in X?  In this episode of Fast Fix Friday, I explore 12 tools and techniques that can help you to stay focused long after the initial buzz o the honeymoon period wears off.  Show Notes: www.linkedin.com/in/steveglaveski --- Join the conversation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

James Nguyen is the co-founder and managing partner of Anti-Hero Capital, the first investment fund exclusively dedicated to investing in blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies using evolutionary science. He previously founded the global app agency M5859 Apps, is a contributing writer at Forbes and is somebody that I would consider deeply introspective and curious, as you’ll discover in today’s episode. Having known James for a few years, we decided to record a podcast episode together after catching up for brunch on a relatively cold Melbourne morning. Our gameplan? Talk about life. And talk about life we did, getting into flow and exploring a number of topics in our two hour conversation, breaking a Future Squared record in the process previously. We discussed: The Critical Importance of Finding Purpose and Meaning How to Break Out of Moulds of Societal Convention How to Stay the Path When Giving Up is Easier Decision Making and How to Avoid Paralysis Analysis First Principles Evaluating Orders of Consequence Imposter Syndrome Values Alignment and Personal and Professional Relationships Biological Evolution and Neuroscience Getting into Flow The Intimacy Vacuum How to Maintain Your Enthusiasm for Things Once the Initial Shine Wears Off Show Notes: James on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-nguyen-b3a41aa2/ Anti-Hero Capital: www.antiherocapital.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/jamesnguyenahc  --- Join Steve's mailing list at futuresquared.xyz/subscribe  Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Spotify @ spoti.fi/2G2QsxV  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @ bit.ly/FSGoog ‍ If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared  Like us? ‍It'd make our day if you took 1 minute to show some love on iTunes, Stitcher or Soundcloud by subscribing, sharing and giving us a 5 star rating. ‍ For more information on Collective Campus, our innovation hub, school and consultancy based in Australia and Singapore check out www.collectivecampus.io GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack   Hosted on Acast.

Many have credited Optus for taking ownership with the advertisements it took out on page two of newspaper across Australia, admitting its “monumental stuff up” and announcing that it would be refunding Floptus, er, Optus Sport subscribers and giving them an additional six weeks of free access to the service after the World Cup comes to a close in mid-July.

I cringe when I hear of school debates that advise students to argue a position even if the factual information they use isn’t 100% accurate, so long as it serves their position. School debates tend to be based students never changing their mind, and sadly, this misguided thinking has graduated and is pervasive in today’s corporate and political arenas, where they often have devastating effect on the common good. This week I explore the notion of 'strong opinions, loosely held' and why it is one of the most profound philosophies you can take with you in business and life. --- Join the conversation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

It seems that everybody wants to build the next UBER, the next unicorn, but do you need to? Would you not be happy generating a six-figure income doing what you love and having freedom over your decisions, not having to report to a boss who is simply in that role due to political maneuvering or length of tenure? You’ve got to be clear on defining what kind of business you want to build. For the purposes of this book, you either want to build: A multi-hundred million dollar global company in search of unicorn status A company with several million dollars in revenues with global or local reach A lifestyle business that earns you a six-figure income --- If you’d like to receive a weekly email from me, complete with reflections, books I’ve been reading, words of wisdom and access to blogs, ebooks and more that I’m publishing on a regular basis, just head over to www.futuresquared.xyz/subscribe and you’ll get the very next one.

For many years China was considered a basketcase with its population, resigned to a life of poverty in the rice fields . Yet today, 120 million Chinese tourists go abroad each year, often snapping up all of the latest trinkets of luxury brands like YSL, Prada and Chanel. In the last ten years alone, China’s GNP has increased from US$4.6T to over US$12T dollars, in fact, in 1985, that number was less than $500B. Less than 25 times what it is today. To put this into perspective, in the same timeframe, the United States’ GNP has little more than doubled, from US$8T in 1989 to about $17.5T today. So how did this happen and what can corporate innovators learn from this? --- If you’d like to receive a weekly email from me, complete with reflections, books I’ve been reading, words of wisdom and access to blogs, ebooks and more that I’m publishing on a regular basis, just head over to www.futuresquared.xyz/subscribe and you’ll get the very next one.

On 17 January 1944, the Office of the Strategic Services of the CIA issued the Simple Sabotage Field Manual. The manual remained classified for decades, becoming declassified in 2008. The purpose of the manual was to present suggestions for inciting and executing sabotage. The manual is full of 1940s references such as ‘axis nationals’, the latter no doubt falling victim to many of the manual’s methods. The manual breaks methods down into a number of categories such as Buildings, Manufacturing and Organisations. For example, on Buildings it states: whenever possible, arrange to have a fire start after you have gone away").  What’s striking about this section of the manual is its section on Interference with Organisations. Their suggested methods sound a lot of the dated management practices that plague large organisations today. In this episode of Fast Fix Friday I’m going to read out 5 ways you might be sabotaging your organisation. --- Join the conversation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers! 14 Ways You're Sabotaging Your Organisation: https://www.collectivecampus.com.au/blog/14-ways-youre-sabotaging-your-organisation  Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Spotify @ spoti.fi/2G2QsxV Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Listen on Google Play @ bit.ly/FSGoog ‍ If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us? ‍ It'd make our day if you took 1 minute to show some love on iTunes, Stitcher or Soundcloud by subscribing, sharing and giving us a 5 star rating. ‍ To sign up to our mailing list head to www.futuresquared.xyz For more information on Collective Campus, our innovation hub, school and consultancy based in Australia and Singapore check out www.collectivecampus.io GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack   Hosted on Acast.

Arj started his career in comedy after graduating from high school in 1989. His first gigs were at an old café called Caffe Nuvo in downtown San Anselmo where he hosted stand-up night every Sunday throughout the early 1990s. Barker has appeared on Premium Blend, Late Night with Conan O'Brien and The Glass House. He twice hosted Comedy Central Presents and was featured in Comedy Central's animated series Shorties Watchin' Shorties. Barker appeared in the HBO sitcom Flight of the Conchords and has enjoyed success in Australia for a number of years since first appearing at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2000 and is currently in Melbourne as part of his We Need To Talk tour. You might be wondering why I invited a comedian to appear on the show. For one, there are many parallels between making it as a comedian, a musician, an athlete and an entrepreneur and we explore them in today’s conversation. That and Arj’s show, which I was lucky enough to catch on the Saturday night before this conversation, was heavy on tech talk, making fun of our tendency to become furious by 5 minute UBER wait times in this, the age of instant gratification. Arj only had 30 minutes to spare for our show, but we managed to explore a number of topics, including: Arj’s early days on the comedy circuit in California The power of silencing your inner critic Positive feedback loops How Arj tests new material and iterates Taking risks when you have nothing to lose The support of family Staying present and getting into flow when performing live Relating to and connecting with people Showing up, even when nobody’s watching   There’s many lessons in this one for entrepreneurs to learn from, and Arj even throws in one joke from his set, so with that….strap yourself in for the one and only, Arj Barker.   Show Notes: Arj’s tour dates: ArjBarker.com Get Tickets: ComedyFestival.com.au Do It Myself TV on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL2TgeKrcWyKHq1ZTJDYOfg   --- Join the conversation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

On October 23, 2001, using the slogan “1000 songs in your pocket”, Steve Jobs introduced the original iPod which left us enamoured and with it he ushered in a new age that, with the launch of the iPhone six years later in 2007, would go on to fundamentally change the way we interact with the world around us.

Jon Satterley is an experienced entertainment & media industry executive and thought leader. I have been recognized as an innovator with expert knowledge of new products, emerging technology and digital business strategy.   When he was just 17, Jon started a record label and wound up signing hundreds of bands while studying to get his law degree.  Jon led digital strategy for Roadrunner Records: growing from a small independent record company to become one of the world’s leading labels. Today, Jon is the Chief Digital Officer at Village Roadshow, and we’ve been working together on the Xperience Accelerator, a program that brings together startups working with VR/AR and Village to develop new applications for the entertainment industry.   We explored lots of questions during this conversation, often going off on tangents, and three things you can expect to learn: Why Jon decided to pursue his record label instead of a career in law and what helped him shun societal expectations in favour of taking the path less traveled How to be a successful intrapreneur in a large organisation; and What the future of VR and AR looks like.   Of course, as a big heavy metal fan myself, we also spent some time talking about Jon’s time at Roadrunner Records.   Topics discussed: eSports: what it is and where it’s going Jon’s background How to be an intrapreneur at a large company How to get buy in from senior executives The question of morality and emerging technology What the future of VR/AR is Other trends entertainment companies should look out for Metal!   Show Notes: Jon Satterley: https://au.linkedin.com/in/satterley Xperience VR/AR Accelerator: www.xperienceaccelerator.cc The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York: https://amzn.to/2P7GgIB   Join the conversation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

In the early days of Collective Campus, like most new organisations, we kept ourselves afloat by taking part time jobs on the side and working with a number of small clients who paid us just enough to keep the lights on. After building up enough case studies and collateral working with smaller organisations, we worked our way up and eventually hooked our first big A-list client, a global law firm with over 1,200 employees and revenues in excess of US$1B. Long story short, we f*cked up. In this instalment of Fast Fix Friday, I reveal how we screwed up and what we did about it that was a critical juncture in our organisation's 'growing up'.  --- Join the conversation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

Annie Duke has leveraged her expertise in the science of smart decision making to excel at pursuits as varied as championship poker to public speaking. Her first book for general audiences, “Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don’t Have All the Facts” has just been released and has become a national bestseller in the US. In this book, Annie reveals to readers the lessons she regularly shares with her corporate audiences, which have been cultivated by combining her academic studies in cognitive psychology with real-life decision making experiences at the poker table. GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack For two decades, Annie was one of the top poker players in the world. In 2004, she bested a field of 234 players to win her first World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet. The same year, she triumphed in the $2 million winner-take-all, invitation-only WSOP Tournament of Champions. In 2010, she won the prestigious NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship. Prior to becoming a professional poker player, Annie was awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship to study Cognitive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.   Annie has also made appearances on the Celebrity Apprentice and raised $730,000 for Refugees International.   She now spends her time writing, coaching and speaking on a range of topics such as decision fitness, emotional control, productive decision groups and embracing uncertainty.   I’m always looking to challenge my own assumptions and make better decisions so I really enjoyed this conversation with Annie.   Just some of the many learnings you’ll walk away with include:   Why the quality of a decision doesn’t always relate to the quality of an outcome How to avoid decision biases and groupthink How to make good decisions when we don’t have all the facts (we almost never have all the facts) And why asking simple questions like “what’s the worst possible outcome?” can open up your life to new possibilities   With that, I bring you the one and only, Annie Duke.   Topics discussed: Annie’s poker career The relationship between logic and emotion Working alone together Seek truth, not being ‘right’ Why you will never have all the facts Why your intuition generally doesn’t lead to better decisions The power of counterfactuals The concept of ‘resulting’ and how it plagues decision making How to avoid ‘paralysis analysis’ Planning poker Why you should have strong opinions, weakly held The power of “I don’t know” How to deal with ambiguity How to hire employees who thrive under conditions of uncertainty Why you can’t make your own luck The story of ‘Nick the Greek’ The story of Pete Carroll and Superbowl 49 Why the quality of a decision doesn’t always relate to the quality of an outcome How to avoid decision biases and groupthink How to make good decisions when we don’t have all the facts (we almost never have all the facts) And why asking simple questions like “what’s the worst possible outcome?” can open up your life to new possibilities   Join the conversation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

In this episode of Future Squared, I welcome back DAVID BURKUS, named one of the world’s top business thought leaders by Thinkers50 last year.   His forthcoming book, FRIEND OF A FRIEND, offers readers a new perspective on how to grow their networks and build key connections—one based on the science of human behavior, not rote networking advice. He is also the author of UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT and THE MYTHS OF CREATIVITY. David is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review and his work has been featured in Fast Company, the Financial Times, Inc magazine, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and CBS This Morning.   David’s innovative views on leadership have earned him invitations to speak to leaders from a variety of organizations. He’s delivered keynote speeches and workshops for Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Stryker and governmental and military leaders at the U.S. Naval Academy and Naval Postgraduate School. His TED talk has been viewed over 1.7 million times.   When he’s not speaking or writing, David is in the classroom. He is associate professor of leadership and innovation at Oral Roberts University where he was recently named one of the nation’s “Top 40 Under 40 Professors Who Inspire.”   I enjoyed reconnecting with David and learned a lot, some of which I applied the day after the interview with positive results.   You’ll learn: Why the best way to grow your network might not be by introducing yourself to  strangers at cocktail parties, but by finding strength in weak ties Why the biggest opportunities lie, not inside tight knit communities or clusters, but in between them; and And how to 10x the effectiveness of your warm introduction requests   With that, welcome back to the show... 220 episodes later, the one and only, David Burkus. --- Topics Discussed: Why the best way to grow your network might not be by introducing yourself to  strangers at cocktail parties, but by finding strength in weak ties Why the biggest opportunities lie, not inside tight knit communities or clusters, but in between them; and And how to 10x the effectiveness of your warm introduction requests What to say instead of “so, what do you do?” Why the best networking events have nothing to do with networking How to identify opportunities in your network Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Jane McGonicall and becoming a power broker Tim Ferriss and the illusion of majority How to leverage influencers to amplify your reach and impact Why people who have more than one type of relationship have stronger ties   Show Notes: Website: https://davidburkus.com/ Twitter: @davidburkus ‏ Bonus: davidburkus.com/future/ Episode #9: http://www.futuresquared.xyz/podcast/episode-9-david-burkus-on-rethinking-business-as-usual Get David's books: Friend of a Friend...: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Your Career: https://amzn.to/2P6Dwv4   The Myths of Creativity: https://amzn.to/2BLlBbN   Under New Management: https://amzn.to/2NhKlcR   The Portable Guide to Leading Organizations: https://amzn.to/2PGB1RB   Vote on a book title at bit.ly/stevesnewbook Join the conversation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

Bryan Caplan is Professor of Economics at George Mason University. He is the author of The Myth of the Rational Voter which was named "the best political book of the year" by the New York Times, he wrote Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids, and the newly released, The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money, which forms the basis of today’s conversation. He is currently collaborating with Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal Zach Weinersmith on All Roads Lead to Open Borders, a nonfiction graphic novel on the philosophy and social science of immigration, and writing a new book, Poverty: Who To Blame. His work has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, American Economic Review, Economic Journal, Journal of Law and Economics, and Intelligence, and appeared on ABC, Fox News, MSNBC, and C-SPAN.   We went an inch deep and a mile wide in this conversation. Discover why: Bryan, a celebrated career academic himself, thinks that the education system is a waste of time and money How today’s education system teaches for short-term memory retention, not comprehension Two solutions Bryan has proposed to help solve the problems with today’s education system   I didn’t agree with Bryan on a number of topics, namely, he seems to completely disregard the threat of technology and automation on employment, suggesting that there is a lack of evidence on this and using the fact that we’ve always created more jobs than we’ve destroyed in the past to forecast the future of employment. The thing about the past is that we never had technology like the kind we possess today and the kind we’ll possess in the near future.   He also says that people can’t learn how to learn. On the latter point, I suspect that this had more to do with the way I framed the question so as to not elicit the response I was expecting. A simple example of getting better at learning is teaching someone else what you’ve read in a book, rather than just reading the words on a page. This is more likely to aid comprehension and retention, at least in the short term.   Nonetheless, as you’ll hear Bryan suggest in the lightning round, it’s important to collect evidence and opinions from different fields, from different people, to get all sides of the story and challenge your own belief system and avoid confirmation bias. This is one of the reasons why I enjoy hosting this show so much - because I get to interview and speak with experts in their own fields who contradict experts in other fields - it forces me to expand my own view of the world. And when it comes to learning, Socrates was right, the more we know, the more we know that we don’t know. And that is why we keep learning. And that is why I keep interviewing thought leaders across a range of disciplines. With that, enjoy today’s conversation on the case against education with Bryan Caplan.   Topics Discussed: Why the education system is a waste of time and money Why College grads earn more than high school grads, on average, in the US Learning skills versus signalling employability The three traits that education signals Whether education and entrepreneurship go hand in hand Social desirability bias Summer learning loss Comprehension v Memory The threat of AI and automation on employment and how this impacts education Education ecosystem challenges Vocational learning Education spending cuts   Show Notes: Bryan’s website: Bcaplan.com Bryan on Twitter: @bryan_caplan Faculty page: https://economics.gmu.edu/people/bcaplan Bryan on Econlog: http://econlog.econlib.org/authorbcaplan.html   Get Bryan's books: The Case Against Education: https://amzn.to/2BMgPuE The Myth of the Rational Voter: https://amzn.to/2BPo5FS Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids: https://amzn.to/2Lr9rUR   Join the conversation on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

If you’re asking for a warm introduction to somebody, you might do what I’ve done successfully a number of times, which is to browse your contact’s LinkedIn connections, find people of interest and then reach out with a connection request. However, when your contact has thousands of connections, this can become quite the task, nor is there any way to find out just how well connected they are to these people - I often get the response “oh, I don’t actually really know the person of interest”, as is the case with most social networks.

A former long-distance runner for the Canadian national team, he holds a master’s in journalism from Columbia and a Ph.D. in physics from Cambridge, and he did his post-doctoral research with the National Security Agency.   He’s just released his third book, Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance, which has been praised by the likes of Malcolm Gladwell, simply as “amazing”.   As somebody who has always experimented with different ways to optimise my own physical and mental condition, I really enjoyed this conversation with Alex and trust that you will learn a lot from it, including:   The false dichotomy of body and mind What our limit breakers are How to expand those limits Which is better high fat diets or carbo loading And also, a number of memorable stories of human triumph over self imposed walls.   Topics discussed: Alex’s definition of endurance Mind over matter: is it that simple? What our tangible limit breakers are The story of Tom Boyle lifting a car of an injured bicycle rider The power of purpose Ketogenic diets v carbo loading Tricking your brain to perform Tools and tactics to expand your limits such as mindfulness, self-talk, journaling, brain stimulation, VR and more The importance of getting the basics right: sleep, exercise, nutrition Which neural characteristics separate elite endurance athletes from the rest of us The power of belief effects versus placebo effects Nike’s ‘Breaking 2’ campaign The most surprising findings from the book   Show notes: Alex’s website: https://alexhutchinson.net/ Articles: runnersworld.com/sweat-science  and on www.outsideonline.com    Twitter: @sweatscience Get Alex's books: Endure: Mind, Body and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance: https://amzn.to/2PFBUJR Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?: https://amzn.to/2oavJRB Big Ideas: https://amzn.to/2wo6crT   Join the conversation on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/  where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

Jeremy Bailenson is founding director of Stanford University’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab and a Faculty Leader at Stanford’s Center for Longevity. He earned a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from Northwestern University.   Bailenson studies the psychology of Virtual Reality (VR) and has been in the space of VR since 1999, in particular he studies how virtual experiences lead to changes in perceptions of self and others. His lab builds and studies systems that allow people to meet in virtual space, and explores the changes in the nature of social interaction. His most recent research focuses on how VR can transform education, environmental conservation, empathy, and health.   He’s just penned his second book, Experience on Demand: What Virtual Reality Is, How It Works, and What It Can Do, which forms the basis for our conversation.   Expect to learn a number of things in this show, including: What some of the applications for virtual reality are, including how it might be used to quell biases and reshape a person’s worldview What some of the risks and potential downsides might be and as such, what virtual reality companies need to be thinking about How far away we are from mainstream adoption   Topics discussed: Superbowl Sunday How VR can be used to hone our imagination, make us more empathic, improve our performance, improve learning and recover from trauma Different applications for VR Potential risks and downsides Why VR is not an ‘either or’ proposition How VR can help us better understand biases to help with creative work Challenges to mainstream adoption and parallels to the past How Jeremy is using VR to train NFL teams and the German national football team   Show notes: Twitter: @StanfordVR Faculty page: https://web.stanford.edu/~bailenso/ Get Jeremy's books: Experience on Demand: https://amzn.to/2obxZba Infinite Reality: https://amzn.to/2BKIg7U   Join the conversation on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

I recently interviewed Alex Hutchinson, author of Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance. Almost a decade ago, Ross Tucker and his colleagues at the University of Cape Town published a striking graph showing the average pacing strategies in men’s middle- and long-distance track world records over the past century: The patterns are remarkably consistent. In the 5,000 and 10,000 meters, the first and last parts of the race are the fastest—of the 66 records set in the modern era in these two events, only once (Paul Tergat in 1997) has any kilometer other than the first or last been the fastest. Alex calls this tendency to speed up as we approach the finishing line ‘the finishing kick’, and it can be found not only in endurance sports, but weightlifting, and if you look closely enough, the workplace. --- Join the discussion @ facebook.com/futuresquaredpodcast  Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog  ‍ If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared  Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?  ‍ It'd make our day if you took 1 minute to show some love on iTunes, Stitcher or Soundcloud by subscribing, sharing and giving us a 5 star rating.  ‍ To sign up to our mailing list head to www.futuresquared.xyz  For more information on Collective Campus, our innovation hub, school and consultancy based in Australia and Singapore check out www.collectivecampus.io GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack   Hosted on Acast.

Primavera De Filippi is a permanent researcher at the National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS) in Paris. She is faculty associate at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School, where she is investigating the concept of "governance-by-design" as it relates to online distributed architectures. Most of her research focuses on the legal challenges raised, and faced by emergent decentralized technologies —such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and other blockchain-based applications —and how these technologies could be used to design new governance models capable of supporting large-scale decentralized collaboration and more participatory decision-making. Primavera obtained a Master degree in Business & Administration from the Bocconi University of Milan, and a Master degree in Intellectual Property Law at the Queen Mary University of London. Primavera is involved in several organizations dedicated to promoting the free culture and open data. She is the co-author of Blockchain and the Law: The Rule of Code, which comes out in April and explores the regulation of cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, ICOs and distributed autonomous organisations.   Except to learn a treasure trove of things in this conversation, including: Whether the blockchain should be regulated and how Why we need to rethink organisational structures to create more value for society via the blockchain what the distributed autonomous organisation might look like... What the impact of the blockchain might be on traditional professional services firms in the legal and accounting industry There was so much more I wanted to explore in this conversation with Primavera, but blockchain is one of those rabbit hole topics, and we could only cover so much in the one hour we had. I would have loved to have explored not only the downsides of ICOs but also the upsides around liquidity, business continuity and the democratisation of early stage startup investment. With that, I trust you’ll enjoy this conversation with Primavera De Filippi.   Topics discussed: Governance by design, what it is and why it matters Shifting to new organisational structures Distributed autonomous organisations The impact on professional services firms How blockchain supports more efficient operations Security on the blockchain Key legal challenges to blockchain adoption Regulating the blockchain versus regulating its uses How to regulate the blockchain ICOs Last mile human effort and the blockchain   Show notes: Twitter: @yaoeo Pre-order the book: https://amzn.to/2NzbjjK  Primavera at TEDx Cambridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYOPcHRO3tc   Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

May 29, 2000. I still remember this day like it was yesterday. I was 16 years old and had eagerly been awaiting the new release from one of my favourite bands for months.
