How can video games teach you how to build a $70B company? What is the best way to give and receive feedback in the workplace? What is the most important thing to expose your children to become uber-successful? How do you define success? These are all questions I recently learned the answer to in some of my favourite podcasts for curious minds. If you are looking for some new ways of thinking and getting to better during these times of remote work, staying at home and self-reflection, I definitely recommend checking these out.
#1 The Knowledge Project
One of my colleagues adamantly demanded recommended that all of us at work listen in to Jeff Hunter: Embracing Confusion . Jeff was the former head of recruiting for Bridgewater and, in this interview, teaches how to rewrite damaging narratives that hold us back, how to give and receive helpful feedback, and why confusion can be a good thing. At Clarity, we’ve built our recruiting agency on so many of the principles discussed in this episode, that once I listened to it, I was hooked on this podcast ever since. Esther Wojcicki’s of How to Raise Successful People on parenting and learning is a gem as well. WIRED ranked The Knowledge Project #1 for best podcast for curious minds and I couldn’t agree more.
