Insert:Human was my Covid prompted podcast focused on discovering the truths and tenets of how to bring more human understanding into the center of every equation, whether the question is one of advancing countries, optimizing companies, or improving marital relationships. It stemmed from my belief that the human is the most important variable in any endeavor to improve, regardless of the scale or scope of the task. Each week the show toggled between solo talks by me about human topics I care about and interviews with industry experts, practitioners, behavioral scientists, economists, and more who believe in the importance of inserting human into their work and lives. The 150 episodes are available on all platforms and I believe their content remains just as relevant today as it was two years ago. Please give the show a listen, and let me know if you find it helpful.
It’s time we didn’t just think outside the box, we need to get outside the boxes that increasingly define our lives.

Politics may be the most profound manifestation of human psychology, the extremes of dark and light.
As bias grows the divide widens. It’s time we reset our views and find our way back to the truth.
The American divide was seeded long ago, and will take a long time to mend. But it can be mended.
It turns out that how we feel, the state of consciousness we are in, is the biggest determinant of our warring actions.
Transformation is no longer an option, which means transformative leadership is now the only kind of leadership that actually works.
