In my opinion Malcolm Gladwell is a one-in-generation kind of writer. Like F. Scott Fitzgerald or a more virtuous, thoughtful and gentle Hemingway without all the drinking, cavorting and tragedy. He is Canadian after all, and very proud of it.

In this episode of Behind the Brand I convince Malcolm to reveal something personal about himself that most people do not know about him.

His new book, the Bomber Mafia chronicles the history and rivalry between an elite group of chemists vs physicists who competed during WW2 to see who could help the allied forces, specifically the United States win and end the war against Japan. 

Malcolm is a prolific writer and the author of several of my favorite books, including David and Goliath, Outliers, The Tipping Point and many others. He’s also the host of The Revisionist Podcast, which I also recommend checking out. He has an uncanny way of finding the story behind the story and pointing out the important lessons often hiding or undocumented in fascinating true stories in history. I know you’ll enjoy this episode with the incomparable Malcolm Gladwell.

Jack Conte is a quirky, smart and talented musician — turned tech entrepreneur, CEO and co-founder of Patreon. What is Patreon? Well, Jack basically built it to help creative people get paid for what they love to do. 

On Patreon, you can let your fans become active participants in the work they love by offering them a monthly membership. You give them access to exclusive content, community, and insight into your creative process. In exchange, you get the freedom to do your best work, and the stability you need to build an independent creative career. And just this week Jack and team raised another 155 million dollars series F at a $4 Billion dollar valuation to ensure they can continue to do next-level stuff. 

Between NFTS and Beeples $69 sale to musician JZ joining the Twitter board and announcing “Super Followers” to compete with Substack and Patreon…Jack believes these are all basically the same convergence of what he calls The Second Renaissance. Join us as we do a deep dive into this fascinating world.
