In this episode of The Unknown Knowns, Dr Angela Lewis explores the concept of “flow” — the state of deep, immersive focus where high-quality judgment and insight emerge.

Drawing on personal experience and cognitive science, she explains why modern work environments often prevent us from reaching this state, and why that comes at a cost to decision-making. The episode breaks down what flow actually is, why it matters for intelligence professionals and leaders, and how it can be deliberately engineered through clarity, challenge, and protected focus.

This is not about productivity. It’s about thinking better in a world that constantly fragments attention — and why creating the conditions for flow is essential for anyone working in complexity.
