Welcome to our second edition of The Clean Thinkers monthly theme-based podcasts, and this one is all about June's theme: career & business! This episode revolves around one of the most important concepts in all of Clean Thinking, which is the ability to recognize the differences between subjective information and objective information. It also focuses on another critical concept, which is understanding the effect motivated reasoning can have on our interpretation of objective information and how easy it is for us to skew a given collection of information so it fits a predefined narrative. Host Mike Marcella shares a tale from his professional life, where he allowed this to happen in his former career. Although the detriments may not have been that substantial in this instance, normalizing the practice of treating the subjective as objective has the potential to become a major issue in our lives. Have a listen to see just how easily we can allow our professional and personal lives to influence one another in potentially harmful ways.
