In this episode, host Ayo Bamgbose explores the psychology behind our perceptions of others and how cognitive biases can influence these perceptions.Key Takeaways:

• Our perceptions of others are often more reflective of us than those we observe.

• Confirmation bias, stereotyping, projection, and the influence of emotions can all skew our perceptions.

• Being aware of these biases and actively working to challenge them can lead to clearer, more accurate perceptions of others.
