In this episode, I discuss Derren Brown, Solomon Asch, the conformity bias, social loafing, my favourite reality TV show … and why most of us feel uncreative and unproductive at large organizations.  Tune in to hear Professor Ayelet Fishbach and I share why groups can dampen our productivity, why dishonest leaders create dishonest teams, and how to convince a sane member of the public they’re flying through space while sitting in a room in Ipswich.  YouTube video on Space Cadets: https://youtu.be/h42yAOm7vI4 Ayelet’s website: https://www.ayeletfishbach.com/ Ayelet’s book: https://www.ayeletfishbach.com/book Sign up for the Nudge Newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list Try HubSpot for free: https://hubspot.sjv.io/jWq4k6 All the clips I’ve used on the show: Derren Brown Zombie https://youtu.be/x09PDP6YX7A?t=3211 Derren Brown Flight https://youtu.be/Qfo_HJ8TRpg?t=223 Derren Brown Guilty https://youtu.be/yUYdjZ_UPf4?t=216 Solomon Asch Study https://youtu.be/iRh5qy09nNw?t=65 Standing ovation: https://youtu.be/ft7mwyiPyIo?t=97 Candid Camera Elevator: https://youtu.be/TrTk6DsEJ2Q?t=14 Space Cadets One: https://youtu.be/h42yAOm7vI4?t=71 Space Cadets Two: https://youtu.be/U4RQKNwZMoE?t=475 Space Cadets Three: https://youtu.be/h42yAOm7vI4?t=1235 Space Cadets Four: https://youtu.be/8eB-2O8MxIM?t=180

London black cab drivers memorise (almost) every road in the city. I wanted to know how. Today, I interview one of London’s most well-known black cabbies, Tom the Taxi Driver. He explains how he memorised 25,000 roads in London sharing the memory tactics he used. We go into the science of memory, how taxi drivers literally have a bigger brain, and I attempt to memorise every capital in the world.  Tom’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TomtheTaxiDriver Full video of my attempt to name all 202 capitals: https://youtu.be/IAsyqI22m4g Sign up for the Nudge Newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list Take my marketing course: https://science-of-marketing.teachable.com/
