About the Guest: Mark Tedeschi, KC: Mark Tedeschi is a former New South Wales Senior Crown Prosecutor, often described as formidable in court by both colleagues and opponents. Mark is also a distinguished barrister, law professor, and an author who has delved into deep psychological analysis in his writings. Apart from his legal career, he is an award-winning photographer known for his compelling work. Among his notable contributions to literature are his books on criminal cases involving highly controversial and complex figures. Key Takeaways: Understanding NPD: Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is often misunderstood. It involves an unassailable belief in one's superiority, lack of empathy, and inability to perceive moral boundaries. Real-Life Implications: Tedeschi discusses criminals like Stephen Bradley and Bruce Burrell, exemplifying how NPD can lead to heinous crimes due to the individuals' delusional beliefs and lack of remorse. Challenges in Treatment: NPD is not amenable to treatment, making it a challenging disorder for mental health professionals and those who live with individuals diagnosed with it. Empathy and Trust Issues: Narcissists often see others as threats, leading to manipulative and deceitful behavior as a defense mechanism. Intersecting Pathologies: The episode touches on how traits of NPD can sometimes bolster one's career success, particularly in high-stakes environments like business and politics, despite the underlying pathology. Notable Quotes: "Whilst there might be only 1% of the population that has narcissistic personality disorder, the percentage of people with that disorder in our maximum security jails is much, much higher." — Mark Tedeschi "Narcissists can never admit that they're in the wrong, and that's because they never feel that they're in the wrong." — Mark Tedeschi "People with NPD destroy their families' lives, but they're not necessarily going out there killing anyone." — Amelia Haines "Because a narcissist has no empathy and no boundaries, their default position is, 'I can't trust you.'" — Mark Tedeschi "You can never fill the void in a narcissist. They will constantly feel vulnerable, and everyone is a threat." — Mark Tedeschi Resources: Mark Tedeschi's website    Click here to contact Janet & Amelia or ask them a question or click here to contact the She Wasn't Born Yesterday team!

NICK'S BIO Between growing up in a northern England rural town to leading global insights and analytics for one of the most successful consumer products companies in the world – a lot happens. This is the case for Nick Graham, a remarkable student of human behavior, societal trends and consumer taste. Nick studied History & French at Oxford University which somehow led him to start a career in the world of marketing, first as an advertising planner at GCI Media then InterPublic Group, pivoting later to brand & innovation strategy at Clear, the M&C Saatchi's strategy division. That foundation led him to spend almost 10 years at PepsiCo where he led insights and analytics for the company's global beverages business followed by running insights & analytics for the US business unit of the consumer products giant. He oversaw the reinvention and redesign of the Pepsi brand as well as the company's strategic shift to new categories like sparkling water (Bubly with $100 million in 1st year sales), energy drinks (Rockstar), protein/sports drinks (Muscle Milk), coffee & tea (Starbucks partnership). He is currently Senior Vice President and Global Head of Insights & Analytics at Mondelez International (“Snacking Made Right”). The company's brands include Oreos, Chips Ahoy, Clif Bar,  Wheat Thins, Cadbury, Milka and Ritz Crackers. His focus, a big one:  transforming the function, integrating data science, AI and behavioral economics to help the business understand the shifts the company needs to make to meet future consumer demand.  We talk about marketing, brands, human behavior, innovation, artificial intelligence and the fact that humans innately try to achieve balance in life - including the spectrum of what we consume to nourish ourselves. There is a place for kale salads and probiotics as well as the indulgence and satisfaction that comes with opening an Oreo cookie, licking the frosty cream and chomping on the chocolaty cookie goodness - a source of much debate around the world.
