Writing a blog or putting your opinions out there and being able to represent yourself from the company that you work for, I think is a good thing.” Aswin Pranam, [28:41] Scientists that are nobel Nobel laureates are 22x more likely to partake as an amateur actor, dancer, magician or other performer than members of the general public” Rhea Naidoo. [41:00] “There is a general cognitive dissonance that exists in the technology industry...where you ask about some of these major pressing issues, like climate change, and the answer is, ‘we’ll be able to innovate out of this’.

This is the Enormous Issues, Audacious Ideas podcast and I’m your host, Rhea Naidoo. I’m a professional leadership coach, I’ve been a tech startup cofounder, corporate executive, and I probably spent way too long being a consultant at McKinsey. But please don’t hold that against me! Underneath it all, I’m a huge rebel, and to be honest a bit of a brat. I’ve never quite fit the mold, and you want to make real change happen, you shouldn’t either. From Elon, to Greta Thunberg, to Malala, the most audacious, world-changing ideas come from the most audaction personalities.

Join me and my inspiring, bold and super out there guests as we try to uncover what it takes to bring Audacious, world-changing ideas to life.
