Customer Reviews
Choiceology- another winning episode!
Thanks to Katy, Team and Guests for the excellent episode on Cup of Knowledge. A helpful exploration of the power of mechanistic thinking and humility.
Entertaining and educational
This podcast is consistently a good listen. I often find myself wondering how they’re going to connect the story with the concept, which is definitely a good hook. The episodes are a good length… Just enough in depth without being overly long, and there’s a lot of ideas that can be applied in the real world.
You got bravery defined wrong
Leon Panetta and the National Command Authority would have been completely gutless to do anything but take the Bin Laden compound. They took the highest potential shot and personally risked nothing to do it.
