I promise this episode will make you smarter. I've wanted Matt Ridely on the podcast my whole life. He's a major influence on my brain. Every time I read his books, I physically feel my IQ increase. His new book is “How Innovation Works: And Why It Flourishes in Freedom." And I'm already on my third read of it. Here's a break down of what we talk about:

How to think like an innovator

Why you don't need pre-approved credentials to have an attention-worthy point of view

How to develop evidence that backs your outlook in life

How to overcome credentials bias

How to overcome confirmation bias

How to measure if your point of view and create new arguments

The difference between scientists and innovators 

Who's qualified to predict the future and who ISN'T

And more that will help you think critically, strategically and innovatively
