  • Hi Matt here.

  • If you want to continue finding tools to a successful and happy life, I recommend listening to the happiness lab hosted by Yale professor Doctor Lori Santos.

  • Doctor Santos has studied the science of happiness and has found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will make our lives better.

  • Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising stories that will change the way you think about happiness.

  • This season, shes tackling topics that affect her own life like stress, perfectionism, and boredom.

  • If you struggle with any of those, or if it sounds like you could learn more about increasing happiness in your life, then listen to the happiness lab right here in your podcast player.

  • A lot of our communication is really about translation, translating our ideas so other people can understand them.

  • Being a leader, a manager, a working professional, part of your job is to understand the context, the knowledge level, the information that you need to communicate and translate it in a way that people can understand it and work on it.

  • My name is Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

  • Welcome to think fast, talk Smart, the podcast today I'm excited to be joined by Greg LeBlanc, who is a lecturer at Stanford GSB and Berkeley's Haas School of Business.

  • His research lies at the intersection of law, innovation, and the use of data in rapidly changing industries.

  • Greg's teaching covers many topics, including data strategy, digital transformation, human resource strategy, and behavioral finance.

  • Greg also hosts the Unsiloed podcast, which recently was added to the GSB podcast Family.

  • Welcome Greg.

  • Thanks Matt.

  • Great to be here.

  • I am super excited to be chatting with you, and I know we're going to talk about lots of cool topics, including podcasting.
