    Oct 6 2025
    Based on a chapter in my new book You 2.0: Build Yourself Better (out November 1st), this episode discusses why it is important to never blindly follow the opinions of experts, and instead you should also conduct your own research so you at least know the basics about the area you need to make a decision in.

  • 75: ThinkWORKS 75 The Impact of Social Media Part 3 of 3!

    75: ThinkWORKS 75 The Impact of Social Media Part 3 of 3!
    Sep 1 2025
    In our concluding look at the impact of social media, we examine how it has changed societal and behavioural norms, and wonders what can we do to bring social media technology back to what it was originally intended to do without stifling debate and activism (a question which will need further consideration at a later date).

    In the meantime, join in the discussion about social media with your own suggestions of how we boost the positive benefits of social media whilst negating the serious downsides social media platforms have propagated in the last decade.
