  • #92: Rory Sutherland: Why The Dumbest Ideas Make the Most Money
    Rory Sutherland is one of the world’s most fascinating thinkers in advertising and behavioral science. In this episode, he breaks down why logic often kills creativity, why the dumbest ideas (like Red Bull) end up making billions, and how consumer behavior makes no rational sense. From frozen yogurt lines to Airbnb’s unintended consequences, this conversation dives into the messy, illogical, and deeply human side of decision-making. We also had a whole lot of fun. Rory is one entertaining guy. Key Discussion Points Why logical decisions rarely lead to innovation Red Bull, frozen yogurt, and the psychology of “dumb” ideas Why entrepreneurs belong in casinos, not chess clubs How framing and emotion drive behavior more than facts Airbnb, matcha, and the paradox of things that shouldn’t work but do ANDDDD Much, much more Follow Chris: https://www.instagram.com/morechrisgriffin/ Apply to work with Chris to build your podcast: https://thepodcastjungle.com/apply Chapters: 0:00 Rory on Australia & first impressions 6:15 Ice cream vs frozen yogurt psychology 12:42 Restaurants, failure & Darwinian innovation 18:55 Why luck beats logic in business 25:30 The Red Bull paradox 31:48 Bubble tea, matcha & strange consumer habits 38:22 Why Australians undervalue themselves 45:10 Breakthroughs born by accident 52:04 The danger of pure logic 58:40 Emotion > facts in persuasion 1:05:15 Electric cars & tribal identity 1:12:02 Pensions, dating apps & real priorities 1:18:47 Social constraints we never question 1:25:33 Airbnb’s unintended consequences 1:32:20 Experience goods: only valuable once tried 1:39:05 Why Americans adopt faster 1:45:55 The myth of perfect information 1:52:40 Airports, bad purchases & brain mush 1:59:00 Final reflections with Rory Learn more about your ad choices.

  • #91: Ex-CIA Spy: What They Don’t Tell You About Money, Success, and Power
    Today’s guest is ex-CIA officer and founder of EveryDaySpy, Andrew Bustamante. We went deep on the truth about government, money, perception, persuasion, and what real success actually looks like. He revealed how spy training connects to everyday life, why the CIA isn’t what conspiracy theories claim, and how the systems around us are designed to keep us predictable. What stood out most is his blunt honesty: happiness is a slippery pursuit, financial success is the only objective success, and once you see how the world really works, you can never unsee it. Key Discussion Points: The truth about the CIA vs conspiracy theories Influence vs persuasion (and how you’re being steered daily) How the world really works vs how we’re taught it runs Why governments don’t care about you (and never did) A debate on money, success, and what truly matters Learn more about Andrew: Find your Spy Superpower: https://yt.everydayspy.com/4oEHBby Read Andrew’s CIA book ‘Shadow Cell’: https://geni.us/ShadowCellBook  Follow Andy on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@Andrew-Bustamante Explore Spy School: https://everydayspy.com/  Support Andy's sponsor Axolt Brain: https://axoltbrain.com/andy Listen to the podcast: https://youtube.com/@EverydaySpyPodcast Follow Chris: https://www.instagram.com/morechrisgriffin/ Chapters: 1:30 – CIA breathwork and field prep 6:40 – Debunking CIA conspiracies 11:20 – What the CIA actually does 16:45 – Influence vs persuasion explained 22:10 – How algorithms control your thinking 27:30 – The red pill: once you see it, you can’t unsee it 33:20 – How the world runs vs how the world works 38:50 – Governments don’t care about you 44:30 – Systems built to keep you predictable 50:40 – External validation vs real success 56:10 – Heated debate: what money really means 1:02:30 – Net worth and how it changes everything 1:08:00 – Curiosity vs commitment: why most stay stuck 1:13:10 – Raising kids with perspective outside the US 1:18:20 – Working for nothing vs working for something Learn more about your ad choices.

  • #90: “I Could Die, And That’s What Drives Me…” (Ash Dykes)
    Today’s guest is Ash Dykes. When most people think of adventure, they picture travel, fun, maybe a little challenge. For Ash Dykes, it’s life or death. From pulling a 120kg trailer through the Gobi Desert with no backup, to hallucinating his way to survival on the brink of heatstroke, to being held at gunpoint and crossing crocodile-infested rivers. Ash has lived through it all. But this isn’t just about danger. It’s about why someone would willingly step into the unknown, where death is a real option, and what that teaches you about life, fear, and resilience. Ash shares how he went from a small coastal town in North Wales to setting world records in some of the most extreme places on Earth, and the mental discipline it takes to keep moving when everything in your body is screaming to stop. This conversation is raw, wild, and filled with lessons that go way beyond exploration. Key Discussion Points: Nearly dying of heatstroke in the Gobi Desert Training for world records with just a tire and sledgehammer The “third man syndrome” that saved his life Why fear is a package deal with growth Leading with kindness in life-or-death missions This one will make you rethink what’s really possible.

  • #89 - 99.8% Of People’s Minds Work Backwards - Do This Instead
    Real talk… Jim Fortin changed my life as a young 17 year old. It is very full circle being able to sit down at his house for over 2 hours and have him on the show. Most people are living life backwards. They’re chasing more money, more success, more things… all while stuck in the same identity that keeps pulling them back. In this episode, Jim Fortin breaks down why 99.8% of people are working from the wrong place - behavior over identity, and how to flip it so transformation actually sticks. We unpack subconscious programming, the stories we tell ourselves, habits that shape our entire reality, and how to finally step into the identity of the person you want to become. Key Discussion Points • Why most people “work backwards” in life • How your subconscious identity sabotages change • The hidden role of habits and stories • Breaking free from scarcity and limitation • The real path to lasting transformation Thank you all for the support.
