In this episode of Working better, we discuss how therapists and business leaders have approached this challenge. Of connecting with people. Of substituting genuine human interaction. Of practicing empathy, while being physically apart.

We trust digital technology with so many sensitive aspects of our lives. Could voting systems work the same way? In countries like the US and UK, experts often insist it’s next to impossible. But what if we told you the tiny European nation of Estonia has been voting online since 2005?
In this episode, we take a closer look at the way the Estonian system works, the biggest obstacles to online voting in the US, and what it might take to transform one of the most important functions of our society.

As “Big Data” gets even bigger, so do the promises about our new data-driven world. But even with humankind’s knowledge at our fingertips, is it any match for the beliefs we already hold? Through the lenses of business, politics, and our everyday lives, this episode explores why human nature is a formidable foe against the data we hold so dear. We’ll highlight the psychology of misinformation, how data literacy is reshaping business, and what journalists, innovators, and educators believe we should do next in our pursuit of the truth.

We unpack it all in the latest episode of Working Better, including a deep dive conversation with Sam Woolley, author of The Reality Game: How the Next Wave of Technology will Break the Truth.

We’re taking a new approach to a holiday bonus episode of Working Better. As we see it, the question isn’t “is Santa real?” but rather “how DOES he do it?”. We break it all down with the type of needlessly detailed, exhaustingly thorough investigative reporting that we’d expect from our host, Scott Hermes.
