Ever wondered why you rush to judgment, follow trends without thinking, or believe you're always right? You're not alone. In this enlightening conversation, the entire Become More team gathers to unpack the cognitive bias personas introduced in their new book "Think" and confess which bias they most identify with.

Scott humorously embraces being "All-knowing Albert," while Tammy identifies as "Jumping Julia," explaining how quickly jumping to conclusions has been both her superpower and weakness. Karman and Josh connect with "Running Rodney," the bias that manifests as rushing to complete tasks without sufficient thought. The team explores how these mental shortcuts evolved for our survival but can be problematic in modern contexts.

What makes this discussion particularly valuable is the vulnerability shown by each team member. Susan admits that imposter syndrome once made her "Soundbite Steve," adopting others' phrases rather than developing her own thoughts. Marcella shares how making snap judgments gives her comfort when feeling out of control. Michael discusses navigating between industry standards and original thinking as a designer.

The conversation takes a turn when connecting these biases to our relationship with artificial intelligence. In an age where AI can handle routine thinking, our ability to recognize when to use mental shortcuts versus when to engage deeper analysis becomes our competitive advantage.

Your brain developed these shortcuts for good reason, but knowing when they serve you and when they limit you is key to leveling up your thinking. Listen now to discover which cognitive bias persona might be running your thought patterns without you even realizing it.
