In this episode of the Deductionist Podcast, we are joined by Kieran, a lifelong hospitality leader and passionate advocate for multigenerational teamwork.

Kieran shares powerful stories from running pubs, turning tough environments into thriving communities, and the role that listening, curiosity, and intent-based leadership play in building successful teams.

From Glynnis the kitchen veteran to digitally-native apprentices, this conversation explores how to harness the strengths of four generations working side by side, and why ego, policy, and outdated practices must be replaced with empathy, training, and authentic communication.

Whether you work in hospitality, business, or leadership, this episode delivers practical takeaways on:

Creating psychological safety in teams

Blending experience with digital-native skills

Avoiding policy-driven “computer says no” mindsets

Building environments where everyone can thrive

Sherlock may have something to say as The Big Five personality model is often praised as the gold standard in psychology but what if it's missing the most important part of human behavior? In this episode of The Deductionist Podcast, we dive deep into how traditional personality frameworks fall short in the real world. Using Holmesian logic, sherlock insight into real-world deduction, and cutting-edge research like taxonomic graph analysis, we explore the flaws of static trait models and the rise of dynamic, meta-trait thinking. Discover why neat boxes don’t capture messy humans and how you can become a sharper observer, thinker, and communicator in the process.

For the deductionist, curiosity isn’t just a nice trait, it’s the engine of learning, the driver of observation, and the spark of critical thinking. Without it, conversations stay shallow, patterns go unnoticed, and our ability to reason is dulled.

Research (Kross et al., 2013) shows that modern conversations often leave us less satisfied, less heard, and less engaged. The antidote? Curiosity. As Leslie (2014) argues, curiosity is one of the most underrated tools for deeper understanding. When applied through a deductionist lens, curiosity turns everyday exchanges into opportunities to gather data, test assumptions, and refine your thinking.

In this episode of The Deductionist Podcast, we’ll explore:

• How curiosity fuels sharper observation and better questions.

• Why curiosity is essential to learning and behavioural intelligence.

• How to move beyond small talk and into meaningful deduction.

• The role of curiosity in critical thinking and avoiding cognitive bias.
