When we make big bets on the right innovations and ideas, we can fundamentally solve some of the biggest challenges facing humanity. That is what I talked to Freakonomics author Steven Levitt about on his podcast “People I (Mostly) Admire.” At a moment when humanity is facing challenges and opportunities of many shapes and sizes, I think our conversation will give you reason for optimism and ideas for how to solve the problems you face. Give it a listen and let me know what you think: https://lnkd.in/emjJEKcn
