  • Robin Hanson, Professor & Author of "The Elephant In The Brain: Hidden Motives In Everyday Life"

    Robin Hanson, Professor & Author of "The Elephant In The Brain: Hidden Motives In Everyday Life"
    Jul 30 2024
    Why are we all such liars ,and what does it say about us as a species that we are able to lie to ourselves so well? Robin Hanson is an associate professor of economics at George Mason University and the coauthor along with Kevin Simler of THE ELEPHANT IN THE BRAIN: HIDDEN MOTIVES IN EVERYDAY LIFE. He’s a former research associate at the Future of Humanity Institute of Oxford University, and is known for his work on idea futures and markets, and was involved in the creation of DARPA's FutureMAP project. Among other accolades, he has conducted extensive research on signaling, and proposed the Great Filter Hypothesis regarding extraterrestrial life. His book, THE ELEPHANT IN THE BRAIN, explores the mental blind spots of society and of individuals, with a focus on the ways that we are all unaware of our own motives, thanks to how our brains evolved to trick us. On today’s podcast, we talk about how he applies the lessons of hidden motives to his own social awkwardness, and how we can all become more aware of our own blind spots. We look at evolutionary psychology and discuss the so-called split-brain experiments for context before digging in to our baser motives for self-deception in politics and religion. Hanson explains the role of the press secretary in the white house…as well as the one in the human brain. Turns out we are a lot more political in our everyday lives than we’d care to admit. The questions are How can we stay aware of our own Hidden Motives, and does it serve us to spend any energy doing that? How can we hold people accountable for their actions if even they aren’t wholly aware of their own motives? And what would the world look like if everyone’s motives were laid bare…perhaps for example through cutting edge AI technology. Hanson also happens to be a futurist, so he has cause for his predictions. And you won’t want to miss them, regardless of the motives you tell yourself are driving you to tune in. ---------- Join the mailing list: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/QfcGHMm/thereleasepodcast ---------- Learn more: www.TheReleasePodcast.com

  • Craig Hatkoff, Real Estate Pioneer, Innovation Expert & CoFounder Of The Tribeca Film Festival

    Craig Hatkoff, Real Estate Pioneer, Innovation Expert & CoFounder Of The Tribeca Film Festival
    Jul 23 2024
    Craig Hatkoff is a real estate investor who pioneered the concept of asset securitization back in the 1990s at Chemical Bank, and then became Vice Chairman of Capital Trust which he cofounded alongside the legendary billionaire Sam Zell. He is also a board member for more than 15 private and public companies as varied as Colony Capital, SL Green, the Desmond Tutu Peace Foundation and even the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. A some time Columbia professor on the topic of Disruptive Innovation, he worked closely with the famed late HBS luminary Clayton Christensen and eventually also cofounded the Disruptor Awards. Along the way he found some time to launch a media company and become a bestselling author of children’s books, alongside his two daughters. But what Craig is most popularly known for is his role as a cofounder, alongside Robert DeNiro and Jane Rosenthal, of the Tribeca Film Festival. And it wasn’t started for the reasons you think. Versatile doesn’t begin to describe Craig. There are so many adjectives.On today’s podcast, we start off with the lightbulb moment of his youth, when he was almost but not quite fired from a finance job out of business school…and whether it was cluelessness or arrogance that got him there. We talk about the time when has was one of Donald Trump’s bankers, the guitar collection that reminds him of the path not taken, and the way he thinks today, about religion. Turns out that’s ripe for disruption, too. Listen to the end for the lightning round, where Craig reveals what he would be doing, had he not stumbled onto business school somehow, all those decades ago. It’s not what you’d think, and on some level, aren’t we all still who we were back in the seventh grade? #tribecafilmfestival #claytonchristensen #disruptiveinnovation #slgreen #disney #shareholder #boardmember #innovation #religion #robertdeniro #podcast #banking #realestate #securitiesandexchangecommission

  • Julie Menanno, Renowned Marriage Therapist and Bestselling Author of SECURE LOVE (Part 2)

    Julie Menanno, Renowned Marriage Therapist and Bestselling Author of SECURE LOVE (Part 2)
    Jul 16 2024
    Julie Menanno is a licensed marriage and family therapist, a leading voice on attachment styles with over 1.2 million instagram followers and the bestselling author of "SECURE LOVE: Create a relationship that lasts a lifetime." She earned her Master’s degree in Psychology from Phillips Graduate Institute in LA, and has a clinical therapy practice in Bozeman, Montana, using Emotionally Focused Therapy known as EFT, for couples working on attachment issues within relationships. Julie is also a wife of 24 years and a mom to six kids and one dog. On episode two of this two-part podcast, we get to know Julie a lot better, partly with the help of her husband, who joins as a surprise call-in guest! We talk through how her evangelical childhood impacted her career choice, what being a boy-mom can teach us about romantic relationships, and why a midlife romantic post-mortem is so very important. My grand conclusion is that she was in fact born to do this work, and destined to outline in her unique way what it takes to create SECURE LOVE. By the end of our talk, I’m pretty sure I officially won at podcasting, because according to Julie, who is renowned by millions of followers for her own insights on love…I made HER feel seen.
