Speaking, listening and persuading

Julian Treasure, a sound expert whose five TED talks have been viewed more than 20 million times, explains how sound affects how we feel, work and perform. Seth Godin, author of This Is Marketing, argues that good marketing starts with finding your viable audience and earning its trust. Ryan Serhant, a New York real estate broker and star of Million Dollar Listing New York, shares how he became a better salesman and why he thinks anyone can earn more by selling well. Hotelier and author Chip Conley talks about what building boutique hotels taught him about leadership and mentoring.

Media, truth and who controls information

Larry Sanger, the philosopher and internet pioneer who co-founded Wikipedia, asks whether it has drifted from its founding mission and what that means for truth and knowledge. Sharyl Attkisson describes her fight for honest reporting. Mike Graham, a British journalist and broadcaster, argues that leaders and the media misled the public. Max Keiser, a broadcaster and filmmaker, asks whether you would rather trust your bank or Bitcoin. Jon Ronson, the Welsh journalist behind So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed, explains how he believes free online porn changed life for sex workers.

Speech and the culture debate

Several conversations here are about race, speech and who gets heard. Candace Owens sets out the argument of her book Blackout. Radio host Larry Elder argues that Black Lives Matter misses the real issues facing the black community. Author and mathematician James Lindsay, co-founder of New Discourses, argues that wokeness is radicalising people.
