The Knowledge Project

“This show is unique in that it actually delivers on what others promise.
It’s interesting and practical in a way that is unobtrusive.”
— iTunes Review

In The Knowledge Project, I interview people from across the globe to deconstruct how they think, live, and connect ideas. The core themes will seem familiar to Farnam Street readers: Decision Making, Leadership, and Innovation. But we’ll also touch on questions about what it means to live a good life.
