  • Dan Ariely on the Psychology of Stress, Misinformation, and Misbelief
    Oct 30 2024

    What makes rational people adopt irrational beliefs? And, what can we do to bridge the growing divide in society?

    Here to help us answer those questions is today’s guest, Dr. Dan Ariely. Dan is a renowned behavioral economist, Duke University professor, and author, known for his groundbreaking research on human decision-making, irrationality, and the psychology behind beliefs and behavior.

    I’ve admired Dan’s work for a long time – his insights into how stress, cognition, and social factors influence our beliefs have been groundbreaking. He’s the author of multiple best-selling books, including Predictably Irrational and his latest work, Misbelief – where he tackles how seemingly rational people come to believe in, and fiercely defend, things that just aren’t true.

    In today’s conversation, we dive deep into the psychology of belief and the importance of challenging our own assumptions. Dan shares the fascinating ways stress and cognitive biases can lead us down paths of misbelief, and how empathy and curiosity can help us bridge divides in this polarized world.

    Whether you’re interested in the intricacies of human psychology, the challenges of navigating modern-day stress, or simply want to learn how to better understand those around you, this episode is packed with insights that will make you think deeply about the world we live in. It may just change how you think about your own beliefs and rationality.

  • How To Live Life On Your Own Terms | AMA Vol. 24
    Oct 28 2024

    Wondering how to create time for your life priorities when it’s not part of your employer’s culture? Then this is the AMA for you.

    Back once again is my co-host O’Neil Cespedes, and in today’s conversation, we get into topics like:

    • How to design your own life based on *your* priorities
    • Bridging the gap between who we were in our younger years and who we’re becoming.
    • The hidden dangers in giving – and asking for – advice.
    • How to fully experience the range of your emotions, from joy to sadness, without muting them.
    • The difference between “getting good” and “feeling good”
    • And so much more…

    And there’s a lot of fun stuff along the way – O’Neil uncovers a bit about my past, and I get a window on his obsession with anime.

    Thank you once again for challenging us with great questions -- keep them coming in!

    With Fire,

    MG, OC, and the FM Team

  • Malcolm Gladwell On Creativity, Failure, and the Revenge of the Tipping Point
    Oct 23 2024

    Today’s episode is a special one. It wasn’t recorded in our studio, but live from Balboa Theater in San Diego for a Live Talks LA event, where I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with one of the most influential thinkers of our time: Malcolm Gladwell.

    This conversation was so much fun – we explored his writing process, the lessons he learned from his father about effort and resilience, and big questions about the future—like the real impact of AI and the time it takes to fully understand emerging technologies.

    We also dive into Malcolm’s latest book, Revenge of the Tipping Point: Overstories, Superspreaders, and the Rise of Social Engineering.

    This was one of those wonderfully refreshing conversations – I think you’ll be really surprised by where Malcolm and I go. It’s full of emotion, insight, and energy. I can’t wait for you to learn from Malcolm’s insights and the way he shapes his words and stories. You’re in for a real treat.

    With Fire,

    The FM Team
