‘Will AI Save Lives?’ with Dr Charlotte Blease

2026-09-1401:01:54

What do you do when your chatbot understands you better than the people in your life? Dr Charlotte Blease is a health informaticist and philosopher who's spent the last decade surveying doctors about how they actually use AI, not how they're supposed to use it. She holds positions at Harvard Medical School, the University of Melbourne and Uppsala University, and she's the author of Doctor Bot. Her research keeps landing on the same uncomfortable point: medical error is far more common than we...

'We're In A Time Of Revolutionary Change', Nicholas Wright (Summer Edit)

2026-09-1306:17

Raising kids to handle failure matters more than teaching them any specific fact about how the brain works, and our guest on episode 8 of The Mindset Economy podcast Nicholas Wright makes that case using his own family history. His Great Uncle Sydney fought through World War II as a tank commander, one of just three from his officer training class to survive without death or serious injury, and lived to a happy old age surrounded by family. That story anchors a bigger point about human resili...

'Solutions Won't Come From Those Who Created The Problem', Leo Anthony Celi (Summer Edit)

2026-09-1011:30

Dr. Leo Anthony Celi thinks half the deans at universities and half the seats in health ministries should go to young people, and he's got a story to back it up. Back in 2022 during a basketball game that was taking place at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, the basketball net got tangled. The men on the court kept trying to out-jump each other to fix it, but it was the women's cheering squad who solved it in under a minute by forming a pyramid. During his conversation with Jean Gome...

'What Are The Four Real Futures?', Sarah Housley (Summer Edit)

2026-09-0803:49

COVID forced fast, sweeping change in a way almost nothing else has, and design futurist Sarah Housley says the reason why is worth understanding properly. Talking on The Mindset Economy podcast, Sarah explains the Overton window, the range of ideas a politician can propose and still keep their job, and how it flew wide open during the pandemic because there was one clear problem and one clear solution. Today's crises don't work that way. We're dealing with a plurality of problems and a...

'How To Become Less Dogmatic', Leor Zmigrod (Summer Edit)

2026-09-0608:44

Leor Zmigrod won't hand you a five-step plan to become a more flexible thinker, because that would just be another rigid system to follow. Instead she offers two things worth sitting with: question the rules and routines that quietly narrow your life, and chase creativity that actually breaks the mould instead of following a recipe. Earlier this year, Leor was a guest on The Mindset Economy podcast during which she also talks about her research on people who left comfortable lives to join ISI...
