We're taught, know your destination, you know, follow that one path, be better than other people on the same stuff. It's so crazy. Like that's the kiss of death. You're not thinking for yourself. You're just following the flow.
And it's like nothing brilliant ever gets created that way. Well, hello everybody, it's Jim O'Shaughnessy with yet another Infinite Loops. Today I have a return guest, my friend Todd Rose, author of Collective Illusions, founder of Populous, former Harvard professor. Please enjoy my conversation with Todd Rose. Well, Todd, I have been looking forward to this.
forever because while we talked a lot about your books and a lot about uh your thesis on on why we're seeing what we're seeing, we didn't really spend too much time on you. And I love origin stories, so if you wouldn't mind, tell us a little bit more about your background before we get to the so what of it. That's great. Yeah.
