In episode #57 of the How Humans Work Podcast, I sit down with social psychology and education policy expert Ryan Balch to explore the underlying evolutionary social forces that drive our behaviors and create challenges in our society. With tremendous ease and good-heartedness, Ryan walks us through core motivations, disconnects, and other hazards that our default "System 1" thinking brings to the table.By understanding both System 1 thinking and the core needs for value and belonging, we can grasp the why and how our snap categorizations and defensive instincts seek to protect our identities in a highly segregated society, generating social and conversational friction. Balch explains how deep-seated human needs for belonging and security often masquerade as rigid political stances, leading to profound communication breakdowns.Further in, we learn practical, "System 2" strategies to overcome these defensive reactions, primarily by shifting the goal of a conversation from "winning" to "understanding". By asking curious questions, navigating cognitive dissonance, and recognizing that challenged beliefs can literally feel like physical threats to the brain, this episode offers a compassionate roadmap for building genuine human connections in an age where difficult conversations lead to polarizations and social strife.Thank you, Ryan, for being on the show and giving us simple, clear, and powerful insights to help us navigate differences in a constructive and caring way.Key TakeawaysThe Default Mode: Our brains naturally rely on "System 1" thinking, which is quick, automatic, and instinctually focused on categorizing others.The Root of Disconnect: We frequently confuse our internal emotional needs for security and control with outward political policy statements.Defensive Reactions: When our ideas are challenged, it threatens our sense of security and creates cognitive dissonance.Moving the Goalposts: We often try to reduce this internal tension defensively by blaming others or shifting the parameters of the argument.The Media's Role: News outlets capitalize on our natural uncertainty by providing outrage-inducing narratives that give our brains rewarding hits of dopamine.Shifting Goals: To foster better interactions, we must consciously apply "System 2" effort to change our conversational goal from trying to convince to trying to understand.The Power of Empathy: Brain scans show that receiving a counteracting idea can register in the brain similarly to a physical knife attack.Grace in Dialogue: Recognizing this biological reality highlights the vital need for grace, curiosity, and compassion when engaging with differing perspectives.About Ryan Balch:Ryan is a Senior Lecturer in the Psychology and LPO department at Vanderbilt University, where he teaches classes on social psychology, general psychology, and education policy. He completed his Ph.D. in Education Policy at Vanderbilt University as an Institute of Education Sciences (IES) Fellow, during which his dissertation focused on the development and validation of student surveys of teacher practice. Following graduation, Ryan was the director of teacher and principal evaluation for Baltimore City Schools. During this time, he oversaw the creation and implementation of the district's new evaluation systems. Previously, Ryan worked for 7 years as a psychology and science teacher and administrator at Riverwood High School in Atlanta, Georgia. He has a B.A. in Psychology from Duke University and an M.A. in Science Education from Georgia State University. Ryan plays ultimate frisbee and enjoys coaching and being involved in all the activities of his 13 and 11-year-old kids.Show ResourcesArticle on Vulnerability by Ryan's Social Psych StudentsProductive Conversation AssignmentHeineken Worlds Apart CommercialTerry Dobson's Aikido StoryAn Interview link to the Brent MacKinnon Conversation

What does it take to build one of the most influential data and marketing engines in global sport  in a market defined by exploding fan demand, new consumption behaviors, and an unprecedented wave of private capital?In this episode, host Linnea Jungnelius sits down with Gareth Balch, Co-Founder and CEO of Two Circles, the sports data and intelligence company working with more than 900 rights holders worldwide — including the NFL, NBA, Premier League, ICC, and World Rugby — and processing nearly two thirds of all global sports fan transactions. Over the last 14 years, Gareth has helped usher sport into its third age of monetization: a world where audience attention, audience affection, and sophisticated data engineering shape the winners.From why sport is the “world's largest religion,” to how fragmented fan behavior is redefining the attention economy, to what it really takes to build a tribe that compounds, Gareth breaks down the forces powering today's global sports boom. For rights holders, private equity investors, and anyone focused on commercial growth in sport, this conversation reveals the playbook behind audience-led value creation, the economics driving white-hot investment, and why knowing your fans best is now the ultimate competitive advantage.What You'll Learn:Why the future belongs to rights holders that grow audience attention + affection fastest.How the biggest leagues and the "innovating middle" are scaling by building tribes, not just selling rights.Why we're entering the third age of sports monetization and who's positioned to win in it.How to engineer real revenue from trillions of fan data points.Where leakage is happening, and how rights holders can recapture value from tech platforms, piracy, and real estate.Why institutional capital is pouring into the sector and where the smartest money is deploying next.Timecodes00:12 Guest Intro: Gareth Balch03:18 The 6B–4B–1.5B Fan Economy04:46 The Third Age of Sports Monetization05:16 The Attention–Affection Model for Valuing Sports IP06:04 Revenue Concentration: Top 20 Leagues Controlling 44%08:06 Sports IP Forecast: Path to $260B by 203309:28 Breakout Performers: SailGP, CFP, The Hundred10:04 Tribe Building: How Smaller Sports Create Outsized Value11:18 Shooting Stars: IPL, UFC, NWSL Growth Flywheel13:00 Women's Sports: Unlocking the Commercialization Gap16:32 Know Your Fans Best: The Ultimate Competitive Advantage22:12 Leakage: Piracy & Value Lost to Platforms24:00 Private Capital in Sports: Why the Category Is “White Hot”27:52 Where Capital Flows Next: IP vs. Tech vs. Adjacencies30:14 Predictive Analytics: Causation Over Correlation33:32 Building a High-Performance Culture36:36 Evolving the Ideal Hire: Attitude vs. Aptitude42:06 Managing the Doom Loop: “Don't Suffer Twice”49:22 Lightning Round: Personal ReflectionsResources:Gareth Balch: LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/garethbalch/Linnea Jungnelius:LinkedIn: https://⁠www.linkedin.com/in/linneajungnelius ⁠X: ⁠https://x.com/itslinnea⁠Explore the Podcast:Spotify: ⁠https://rebrand.ly/gareth-balch-spotify-podcastApple Podcasts: https://rebrand.ly/gareth-balch-apple-podcastBlog: https://rebrand.ly/gareth-balch-blogFound Value?

We just spent an hour with Dana Gershon and have one major regret: that we didn't know her in college. She's the kind of person who makes you feel smarter just by listening to her—and happier just by being around her (even over Zoom). A powerhouse attorney, mom of four, marathon runner (x4), and immediate past president of NCJW, Dana has done it all—and somehow makes it look effortless. She's brilliant, warm, and wildly accomplished, but still totally down-to-earth. We left this conversation inspired, impressed, and maybe a little obsessed.P.S.

What comes to your mind when I mention the name “Balch”? For most of us, it's the sordid, nasty tale of Danford Balch, the first Portland resident to be hanged for murder, a fate he earned in 1858 by reacting to his stepdaughter's elopement by chasing the young couple down with a shotgun and murdering his new son-in-law on the Stark Street Ferry (here's a link to the Offbeat Oregon article about that). And yeah, that's one way to make it into the history books! Half a century ago, though, most Oregonians would instantly recognize the Balch name from a more benign, and certainly a more important, historical character, who probably was distantly related to Danford — Frederic H. Balch, the author of what may actually be the most important and influential work of literature in Oregon history: a misty, mythical novel titled The Bridge of the Gods: A Romance of Indian Oregon, published in 1890. In part, the reason Frederic's name is so seldom recognized today is that he died young. The Bridge of the Gods was supposed to be Volume One of a six-part saga telling the story of the Oregon country. But tuberculosis claimed him when he was just 29 years old, leaving the great work unfinished. (Lyle, Washington Territory; 1890s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2501b.frederic-balch-bridge-o-gods-684.512.html)

This litigation update will discuss the United Natural Foods case, where a new National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Acting General Counsel ordered the withdrawal of a Complaint issued against two unions, which occurred shortly after President Biden removed former General Counsel Peter Robb in January 2021. After the Supreme Court eliminated Chevron deference in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (Sup. Ct. 6/28/2024), the Supreme Court in United Natural Foods vacated a divided Fifth Circuit opinion (where the majority had afforded deference to the Board), resulting in a recent Fifth Circuit oral argument which occurred on February 3, 2025. United Natural Foods is represented by Morgan Lewis partner (and former NLRB Chairman) Philip Miscimarra, who – in this session – will discuss whether deference to the NLRB has been eliminated, how have courts resolved challenges to the removal of former General Counsel Peter Robb, and is the NLRB required to apply the federal rules of civil procedure, among other things.Featuring:Hon.

He is also a regular Pratt on Texas listener which is a great honor to me.

The sterile processing industry is on the brink of a revolution, driven by the power of artificial intelligence. As healthcare facilities seek to enhance efficiency, reduce risks, and optimize workflow, AI has emerged as a pivotal tool in supporting sterile processing professionals. Industry leader Hank Balch, co-founder and president of Healthcare HQ, is at the forefront of this transformation, advocating for AI's role as a critical ally rather than a replacement for human expertise.In this episode of the ConCensis podcast, host Amy Chodroff sat down with Balch to explore how AI is reshaping the sterile processing landscape. Their discussion provided valuable insights into the intersection of AI and SPD, highlighting both its potential and its limitations. The conversation covered:AI as a Supportive Tool, Not a Replacement: AI enhances sterile processing efficiency by assisting with tasks, but human professionals remain at the heart of critical decision-making and process improvements.Eliminating the “Dull, Dirty, and Dangerous” Tasks: AI is already being implemented to assist in removing repetitive, hazardous, and time-consuming responsibilities in sterile processing, improving efficiency and safety.Bridging the Knowledge Gap: AI platforms like ChatGPT are providing real-time solutions to common SPD challenges, from calculating Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) to identifying workflow inefficiencies.The Future of AI in Sterile Processing: While AI adoption in SPD is still in its early stages, its trajectory is undeniable. Professionals must decide whether to proactively integrate AI into their workflows or risk being left behind as the industry evolves.Balch's passion for innovation is evident as he encourages sterile processing professionals to embrace AI as a strategic partner. He emphasizes that while AI will never replace human expertise, it has the potential to significantly enhance decision-making, streamline processes, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.As the industry continues to navigate technological advancements, Balch leaves listeners with a call to action: adapt, explore, and lead the charge in integrating AI into sterile processing.

A true crime AND haunted location episode all in one?! We got a double whammy this Wednesday guys coming right out of the state of Oregon: this is the story of Danford Balch & the Witch's Castle. Balch was the first legal hanging in Portland, Oregon in 1859 for the murder of his daughter Anna's husband. As legend goes, Balch's wife (or Anna, depending on who you ask) placed a Witch's curse on the property & from there the land, which is now a Park, and the mysterious "castle" that was built there sometime later, have been haunted. Is it Anna, her husband, Balch or his wife to blame for the supposed hauntings? Would you dare take a hike to the Witch's Castle?

Fresh from an excellent Leaders Summit at Twickenham, or should we say Allianz Stadium, is a conversation with Gareth Balch, founder and CEO of Two Circles agency about the agreement to buy KORE Software, a deal announced this week.Two Circles is buying the company from Serent Capital, the private equity firm that bought Kore in 2018. Earlier this year, Two Circles themselves sold a majority stake in their business to private equity firm Charterhouse Capital Partners, a transaction which valued the company at £250million. More recently, the company secured external investments from Otro Capital and David Blitzer's Bolt Ventures.So, what have they bought, why and what does it mean, for Two Circles and for a sports industry seeking to predict the future shape of the agency sector.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.
