  • Why We Don’t Trust Each Other Anymore with Claude Steele
    2026/09/02
    Why does it feel so hard to talk to people who see the world differently than we do? In this episode, we sit down with renowned social psychologist Claude Steele, author of Churn: The Tension That Divides Us and How to Overcome It, to examine the hidden psychological tension that shows up whenever identity, race, politics, or difference enters the room. Steele calls it “churn,” the mental strain of wondering how other people see us, whether we’ll be stereotyped, whether we’ll say the wrong thing, or whether a mistake will become a judgment about who we are. That strain is everywhere right now. It shows up in debates over wokeness, partisan politics, race, culture, workplaces, classrooms, and even ordinary conversations. And as trust declines, we become more guarded, more suspicious, and more likely to retreat toward people who already think like us. But Steele argues that the answer may be simpler than we think. We talk about why prejudice is only part of the problem, why both sides of a divide can experience the same underlying anxiety, how political and cultural conflict can intensify it, and why trust, curiosity, and genuine interest in other people can change the way we relate across difference. It’s a conversation about one of the defining tensions of modern life, and what it might actually take to start trusting each other again. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The Economic Lie That Let Companies Sell Us Out with Eric Ries
    2026/06/05
    What if the problem isn’t that a few companies got greedy? What if the problem is that we built a system that teaches companies to sell us out? In this episode, Eric Ries joins us to explain the economic lie sitting underneath so much of modern business: that companies exist to extract as much value as possible for shareholders, even if that means making the product worse, treating employees poorly, breaking customer trust, and slowly destroying the very thing that made the company great. We talk about why so many once-loved brands seem to get worse over time, why Costco has managed to resist the pressure, what Amazon reveals about the tradeoff between customer obsession and company decay, and why “good governance” may actually be helping create weaker companies. This conversation will change how you think about capitalism, Wall Street, private equity, and the companies we interact with every single day. https://www.incorruptible.co/ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Are You Really You, or Just a Pattern Your Brain Built with Dr. Masud Husain
    2026/05/05
    What actually makes you who you are? In this episode, we get into one of the biggest questions a person can ask, not in a vague or philosophical way, but through the lens of neuroscience. Our guest is Dr. Masud Husain, Professor of Neurology and Cognitive Neuroscience at Oxford, Editor-in-Chief of Brain, and the award-winning author of Our Brains, Our Selves, which won the Royal Society Trivedi Best Science Book Prize. Dr. Husain explains how your sense of self is built through memory, attention, motivation, perception, concepts, and relationships. In other words, who you are is not just something you have, it is something your brain is constantly creating. That is what makes this conversation so gripping. Because if the brain creates the self, then what happens when part of that system changes? We talk about real patients whose identities seemed to shift after changes in the brain, including one man who lost nearly all motivation after tiny strokes, and another who began losing not just words, but the concepts behind them. Their stories are fascinating, but they also raise a deeply personal question: how much of who you are depends on brain processes you rarely notice? We also get into why we become more risk-averse over time, why discomfort starts to feel less worth it, and whether changing how we think can actually change who we are. This episode will make you think differently about personality, memory, identity, and the story you tell yourself about yourself.
