Bill Browder and I at Jewish Book Week
Last Sunday 5th March, I had the pleasure of interviewing the inspiring Bill Browder at Jewish Book Week in London, a quite fabulous 9 day extravaganza of talks and discussions on… you guessed it!
We had a packed hall of 420 people listening to Bill’s gripping, tragic and uplifting story through the lens of his books Red Notice and Freezing Order. I will share the recording here as soon as it arrives. You can hear my podcast with Bill from last year here.
Next time on A Load of BS: Mother Superior in nipple tassels
Next time on A Load of BS, I welcome behavioural scientist Patrick Fagan to the show.
Described by comedian David Mitchell as a "Mother Superior in nipple tassels". Each to their own I suppose.
Patrick takes psychological academia and applies it to business. Have your notepad at the ready for lots of tips and tricks.
Please share this with other curious minds
If you have an interest in how behavioural science is applied in real life, and you think others would benefit from listening to these conversations, then please share the podcast with friends and on social media. Your support is what makes us tick! Thank you ❤️
Till next time,
Daniel
