Hi everyone.
Chris Duffy here.
We are hard at work on the next season of how to be a better human, and I am so excited that we're going to be back weekly starting on June 27.
That is just around the corner.
In the meantime, though, here is an episode of another Ted audio collective podcast that I think you're going to really enjoy.
It's a show called Work Life, and on the show, organizational psychologist Adam Grant goes inside the minds of truly unusual people to rethink the way that we work, create, and connect with each other.
This is a show that's full of fascinating psychological insights about how we can create real change in our lives.
And Adam is such a interesting interviewer and scholar and writer and thinker.
I think you're going to really enjoy this show, and I think you're going to particularly enjoyed this episode.
If you do like it, you can find and follow work life with Adam Grant.
Wherever you're listening to this, enjoy.
Dear Adam, I have a great investment opportunity for you.
Let me tell you about my startup.
I know we've never met, but here's why you should endorse my book.
Is your team hiring?
Cause I'd be a great fit.
Every day I get dozens of pitches.
Some come from strangers around the world, others from people I know.
We'd love for you to come speak to our company.
