Positive Sum

Positive Sum

We (Drew and James) have been close friends and collaborators for over half a decade. After years of private conversations that spanned topics including fitness and physical performance, the science of wellness and longevity, career success and development, mental models for better decision making, and more, we finally decided to record these conversations for a wider audience. This podcast is our attempt to play a positive sum game with an audience of fellow life long learners, ambitious individuals, and those driven to not only succeed, but gain fulfillment, satisfaction, and a bit of wisdom

    Episode #12 In this week’s episode we discuss René Girard's theory of Mimetic Desire, including the basics of the theory, examples of it in everyday life, how it leads us into competition and conflict, and the ways that it can be used as a lens to help you understand why you desire the things that you desire.
