How Does Santa Get it Done? (originally published as Working Better)

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.

Data vs Goliath Part 1: Do Facts Actually Change Our Minds? (originally published as Working Better)

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.
