In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we explore a counterintuitive but empowering idea: what if not knowing something is not a weakness but an advantage? My guest this week is Alan Gregerman, innovation consultant and author of The Wisdom of Ignorance. He invites us to rethink impostor syndrome by viewing not knowing as the very thing that fuels creativity, innovative thinking and meaningful change.Alan argues that breakthroughs are far more likely when we approach problems with humility, curiosity and a willingness to see the world with new eyes. He encourages his clients to leave the office, explore the world and pay attention to what they see. Alan shares how changing environments expands our thinking, how teams can benefit from “enlightened ignorance” and why leaders who model humility unlock more creativity and engagement in others.About My GuestAlan Gregerman is an internationally renowned authority on business strategy, innovation, and the hidden potential of grownups who has been called “one of the most original thinkers in business today” and “the Robin Williams of business consulting.” As the president and chief innovation officer of Washington, D.C.-based consultancy VENTURE WORKS, a best-selling author, sought-after keynote speaker, and community volunteer he focuses on helping companies and organizations unlock the genius in all of their people in order to deliver the most compelling value to their customers. He is also the founder of Passion for Learning, an award-winning nonprofit that teaches girls technology skills as a key to life and career success.His work has been featured in over 250 leading publications and media outlets in the U.S. and in other countries including the Wall Street Journal, NPR, CNN, The Economic Times, Business Week, Dagens Industri, and Fast Company and his writing, speaking, and teaching has informed and hopefully inspired over 700,000 people.His three previous books—The Necessity of Strangers, Surrounded by Geniuses, and Lessons from the Sandbox—challenge conventional thinking about people, the world around us, what it means to be remarkable, and where brilliant ideas come from. His new book, “The Wisdom of Ignorance: Why Not Knowing Can Be the Key to Innovation in an Uncertain World,” provides a powerful formula for making a difference in a world moving super-fast.~Connect with Alan:Website: www.alangregerman.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-gregerman-a33b236/Email: innovate@venture-works.com ~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge:https://www.kimmeninger.com/challengeLearn more about the Leading Humans discussion group:https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroupJoin the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6Join the Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumansSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-sessionConnect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/Website:https://kimmeninger.com

Last week there was so much news Nate recorded two Franklies – this is the second of those, which shares his reflections on a recent seminal essay posted by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, likening Artificial Intelligence as a "rite of passage" for the human species rather than just a narrow technological breakthrough. Amodei posits the possibility that we are now in what Carl Sagan once called a phase of "technological adolescence," wherein humans' technologies and tools become powerful enough to reshape or destabilize civilization faster than our collective wisdom can keep up. As a civilizational force, AI doesn't automatically act as humanity's salvation or catastrophe – it acts as a mirror that reflects the maturity (or immaturity) of the humans – and systems – deploying it. In this episode, Nate then widens the boundaries of the AI conversation to incorporate the biophysical reality and institutional systems that support these technologies, emphasizing energy, materials, infrastructure, governance, and incentives as the real limiting factors and alignment challenges. By incorporating the deeper structures that shape societal outcomes in this dialogue, he raises questions about how the assumption of shared goals like growth and optimization might steer AI towards outcomes that undermine ecological and social stability. What will it mean in biophysical terms if we introduce near-limitless cognitive power into a world already constrained by energy and materials? Is it possible for societies to build the wisdom, restraint, and governance needed to survive the "technological adolescence" of AI? And if "intelligence" becomes cheap and abundant with AI expansion, how might that impact humans' shared semblances of values, goals, and definitions of success?

In this episode, Dr. Deborah Savage of Franciscan University joins the conversation to unpack the "war on men," the masculine genius, and the deeper spiritual battle being waged against the human person. Drawing from St. John Paul II, Aquinas, and her own scholarship, she explores the unique gifts of men and women, the meaning of complementarity, and why fathers play a vital role in conferring identity. The discussion tackles hard truths about suicide rates, cultural blind spots, and misplaced anger, while also pointing to the beauty of God's design for man and woman. Listeners are invited to recover a deeper appreciation of our differences, not as a struggle for power, but as the foundation of authentic human flourishing.   Institute for the Study of Man & Woman: https://franciscan.edu/man-and-woman-institute/  Connect with Dr. Savage: https://drdeborahsavage.com    Subscribe/Rate Never miss out on an episode by subscribing to the podcast on whatever platform you are listening on.

The "Antifragile" Success of Phoenicians and Cypriots: Colleague Eric Cline categorizes the Phoenicians and Cypriots as the "geniuses" of the post-collapse world, applying the concept of "antifragility" to describe how the Phoenicians flourished amidst chaos, establishing Mediterranean colonies like Carthage and spreading the alphabet, while Cypriots transitioned from bronze to iron technology likely as an act of innovation rather than necessity, clarifying that iron weapons were a result of the collapse's aftermath, not the cause of the fall of Bronze Age empires. 1955

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Wendy Dale, owner of Memoir Writing for Geniuses and author of The Memoir Engineering System. We are chatting about writing memoirs. Ever hear the phrase “Just write” or “Write a crappy first draft”? Author Wendy Dale is leading a revolution to destroy this common writing maxim. What should you do instead? Make your first draft your final draft.   She believes that crafting a memoir is like learning any other skill. No one would hand a person a flute and tell them, “Just play until you figure it out.” Instead, you need to learn the concepts that go into crafting a great memoir.   Wendy spent fifteen years reading thousands of imperfect manuscripts in order to figure out the components that make all memoirs work. The result is the book The Memoir Engineering System, which was just published, January 2025! Wendy is also creating the world's first reality show for writers, “Write or Flight,” based in Peru.   Wendy is a seasoned memoir-writing coach whose clients have come from Entertainment Weekly, the New York Post, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Simon & Schuster, Seal Press, Wiley, NBC, National Geographic Wild, and Nickelodeon.   The author of the memoir Avoiding Prison and Other Noble Vacation Goals (Three Rivers Press/Penguin Random House), Wendy lives with her husband and two bunnies in Cusco, Peru.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Wendy Dale, owner of Memoir Writing for Geniuses about writing memoirs.

Think you've got what it takes to solve some seriously tricky riddles?

James sits down with astrophysicist Brian Keating for a candid, useful tour through three hot zones: how to think about AI (and where it actually helps), what's broken in higher ed and admissions right now, and why outsourcing your mood to politics is a losing strategy. You'll hear first-hand stories (from UC San Diego classrooms to New York City politics), specific ways James and Brian really use AI daily, and a simple framework for protecting your attention and happiness—even when everything feels polarized. What You'll Learn: How universities can leverage AI-guided curiosity to revolutionize learning, according to James Altucher's vision for "Altucher University." Why mastering communication skills—writing, speaking, negotiating—is crucial for career success, and why these skills are often neglected in traditional education. Firsthand insights into how Brian Keating and James Altucher use AI daily for research, problem-solving, and creativity, along with practical examples from their personal and professional lives. The economic and philosophical debates around AI's actual impact on industries, jobs, and the broader GDP, including its use in coding, media, and even farming. The limitations of AI and large language models in science and creative work, and why critical thinking and prompt engineering remain essential—even as technology evolves.

Do you have “a spot” in your house?

Are smart people less religious? Ward Radio host Cardon Ellis sits down with Jonah Barnes and Austin Falter to challenge one of the biggest modern myths—that intelligence and faith don't mix. Using real data from Ryan Burge's graphsaboutreligion.com, the team uncovers surprising trends showing that higher education often increases church attendance and belief across nearly every demographic, including within the Latter-day Saint community.With humor, insight, and hard facts, Cardon and his guests dig into why “smart” and “spiritual” aren't opposites—and why educated believers might just be leading the charge in faith and family. If you've ever wondered whether data supports devotion, this episode has the answers.

If you've ever felt stuck running the day-to-day while the future rushes past, this conversation is your permission slip to step outside the building and rethink how your company actually innovates. In this episode, I sit down with innovation strategist and author Alan Gregerman to challenge the way leaders pursue “new.” We unpack his upcoming book The Wisdom of Ignorance and the counterintuitive idea that breakthrough ideas often come from not being the expert. Alan shares why most companies confuse process improvement with innovation, how to unlock the genius in your teams (especially your newest hires), and six leadership habits that keep organizations relevant in a world that won't slow down. You'll leave with practical ways to fuel curiosity, test faster, and future-proof your business. Here are highlights: -Innovation ≠ Incrementalism: Alan draws a sharp line between improving what exists and pursuing big, valuable problems, urging CEOs to imagine their company five years out and backcast a path to get there. -The 99% Rule: Breakthroughs are rarely born on a whiteboard. 99% of new ideas build on something that already exists. Get your team out into the world (museums, neighborhoods, other industries) to borrow and remix smarter. -Six Keys to Relevance: Be purposeful, curious, humble, respectful, future-focused, and a bit paranoid. You're creating value while scanning for the competitor who might “eat your lunch.” -Use Fresh Eyes on Purpose: In onboarding, hand new hires a clipboard and ask them what you're doing well, where you're stuck, and what other industries are doing better—before you “teach” them your way. -Ship the Half-Bake (Responsibly): Stop waiting for perfection. Launch minimally viable ideas that deliver real value and let customers help you iterate your way to remarkable. About the guest: Alan Gregerman is an innovation strategist, author, and the President & Chief Innovation Officer of Venture Works. For more than two decades, he has helped companies of all sizes remain relevant in fast-changing markets by unlocking the “genius” in their people and organizations. Alan has been featured in over 250 outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, NPR, and CNN. He is the author of Lessons from the Sandbox, Surrounded by Geniuses, The Necessity of Strangers, and the forthcoming The Wisdom of Ignorance, a blueprint for leading breakthrough innovation.

On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alan Gregerman, an internationally recognized authority on business strategy, innovation, and the hidden potential within all of us. Known as the “Robin Williams of Business Consulting,” Alan brings humor, humanity, and deep insight into how we can adapt, grow, and innovate in a world changing faster than ever before. I couldn't wait to share this podcast with you! My friend and innovation mentor, Alan Gregerman, joined me on On the Brink with Andi Simon for a stimulating conversation that digs into the interesting challenges facing all those who want to find their own best way of innovating. The "Robin Williams of Business Consulting," Alan injects humor, humanity, and leading-edge thinking into the brutal truth about how we need to adapt, change & innovate so now we win in a world changing faster than ever. Alan's latest book, "The Wisdom of Ignorance: Why Not Knowing Can Be a Catalyst for Innovation in an Uncertain World," reminds us that our lack of knowledge can be the source of the greatest discovery. During our conversation, we discussed his unique personal journey, his desire to help others reinvent themselves, and the most critical skills for all of us to cultivate to succeed in a world of disruptions. Curiosity Begins Early Alan revealed that his interest in other cultures began in early life. His mother, a specialist in world history, and one cherished gift — an atlas — prompted him never to stop learning and exploring. That early sense of curiosity would eventually form the basis of his career: to help businesses and individuals look beyond what they know, he tells them, to find new ideas in unexpected places. This investigative spirit has characterized his writing, from Lessons from the Sandbox (about reclaiming the creativity of childhood) to Surrounded by Geniuses (on how ordinary people and ideas can spur innovation) to The Necessity of Strangers (for why we must connect with people unlike ourselves). Now, with The Wisdom of Ignorance, he contends that expertise is not sufficient: we must develop the courage to say "I don't know" and use that humility to drive our future expos. Why Adults Resist Change A common refrain in our conversations was how hard it is to make a change. Alan reminded us that whereas 10% of people are quick to embrace new concepts, and another 10% resist vigorously, the rest of us tend to be somewhere in between. This resistance is not only cultural — it's neurological. Because our brains are wired to conserve energy, they will always prefer established habits over new things to learn. It's why Alan emphasized that innovation frequently demands creating small, quantifiable experiments. We can try ideas out incrementally rather than insisting on wholesale change overnight. These experiments help build confidence, reduce fear, and allow us to adjust more organically to the world as it changes. Watch our video of our podcast on YouTube. Wisdom of Ignorance Alan's methodology is based on what he dubs the six fundamental skills for flourishing in uncertain times. Central to them is purpose. Without something transformative and exciting enough to wake up for, innovation merely wanders around aimlessly. Clarity of purpose, whether it's in a for-profit or not-for-profit organization, is what leads to curiosity and experimentation, which begets growth. "When I speak with people at non-profits, one of the common themes you'll hear is a greater sense of purpose than businesses," Alan says that both sectors need to revisit and sharpen their "why constantly." "Best is a space that's kind of a moving target," as he put it. What works today is no guarantee of relevance tomorrow, and without purpose, even the greatest idea can lose its impact. The Six Essential Capabilities of an Innovative Organization Alan boiled it down to six related skills - all of which are the building blocks of his book and consulting practice: 1. Purposefulness – Commit to something worth doing that is meaningful. 2. Curiosity – Ask for inspiration and you will find it, remembering that behind most great ideas is the thinking of others. 3. Humility – Acknowledge we don't have all the answers, discovery starts with an open mind. 4. Respect – Respect everybody and everything, they are coming from somewhere unexpected. 5. Focus Forward – Peer into the future with a focus on newer trends, cultures, and ideas. 6. Paranoia: Stay aware of the fact that competitors and threats are always on your heels. These habits together prompt us to adopt what Santayana gleefully termed "enlightened ignorance" — a stance that appreciates not knowing as yet as the beginning rather than the end of knowledge. Lessons for Leaders As an anthropologist, Alan's take felt eerily familiar. We both believe that growth is often staring organizations in the face, disguised in plain sight — if only they can look beyond their routines and assumptions. Leaders need to push teams out of their comfort zones, provoke new ways of thinking, and acknowledge progress along the journey. Alan cautioned us that our customers aren't loyal because they're devoted to us — they stay with us because switching to another provider seems more complex. But they'll leave as soon as something better comes along. Innovation, therefore, isn't optional. It's survival. Human-Centered Change All this talk of disruption nowadays is mainly centered on technology — and current trend words like AI, Bitcoin, blockchain, or the Fourth Industrial Revolution — but Alan warned us to remember that much more critical forms of change are human and social. From changing values across generations to increasing loneliness and shifting work habits post-COVID, leaders need to pay attention to the people side of transformation. He urges us to reach out to strangers, listen more closely, and pay attention to the subtle signs of change that are all around us. In it, we can transform ignorance into discovery and shape futures that count. A Final Thought Alan's lesson is that you don't have to have all the answers in your mind to do something remarkable. All you need is a sense of purpose, curiosity, humility, respect for others, and a focus on the future — together with just enough paranoia to keep you from being complacent. Most of all, you need to warm up to the wisdom that eighth graders get every single day going into high school: not knowing. For, as these people remind us: "We all actually do have the ability to make a difference. It's something we can attain if we engage in a few crucial behaviors each day." His new book, The Wisdom of Ignorance, was published on October 14 and is available wherever fine books are sold. Key Takeaways: • Lean into what you don't know — that's where the wonder is, and that's where you'll feel becoming. • Purpose orients; small experiments build confidence. • Remain curious, humble, respectful of norms and traditions while remaining future-oriented, and a bit paranoid. • The human and social change is at least as important as the technological disruption. • Each and every one can make a difference one step at a time.

Those on the margins often come to control the center. That maxim ties together the three remarkable people profiled in this episode: Colin Chapman, known as “the mad scientist of F1”, did more to influence F1 design than any other person in history.  Bernie Ecclestone, known as “Supremo”, Bernie transformed Formula One from a disorganized, rag-tag, chaotic collection of racing teams, into the world's premier motor racing series. He built the business of F1— and made billions for himself along the way.  Dietrich Mateschitz, founder of Red Bull, bought two Formula One teams and insisted on becoming the sport's foremost disruptor. Determined to question every standard way of operating, Mateschitz's unlimited ambition transformed his team of outsiders and mavericks into a dominant force, all while building one of the world's most valuable private companies.  All three were outsiders. All three thrived on taking risks. All three insisted on doing things their way.  This episode is what I learned from reading The Formula: How Rogues, Geniuses, and Speed Freaks Reengineered F1 into the World's Fastest-Growing Sport by Joshua Robinson and and Johnathan Clegg. ------ ⁠⁠Ramp⁠⁠ gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform.

The Atlantic's Helen Lewis joins Mona Charen to discuss The Genius Myth, her new book exploring whether genius is a real phenomenon or a socially constructed label. They examine how society elevates certain individuals—often more for charisma or timing than raw talent—and how the genius myth can excuse bad behavior while undervaluing empathy, humility, and collaboration. The conversation also touches on the “genius wives,” prodigies, the costs of fame, and Lewis's recent piece on the Skrmetti decision.

How often do you assume someone's behavior is a flaw in their character instead of a feature of their genius?In episode 89 of the Working Genius Podcast, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson unpack the “Fundamental Attribution Error” and how it damages relationships at work and at home. They explain how people often misjudge each other's actions as flaws rather than features of their unique Working Genius. By walking through all six Geniuses, the hosts show how greater understanding can lead to less guilt, less judgment, and better collaboration.Topics explored in this episode: (0:35) Understanding the Attribution Trap* The fundamental attribution error leads us to blame others' character while excusing our own behavior.* Working Genius helps reframe annoying behaviors as strengths expressed out of context.(5:35) Wonder and Invention* Wonderers can be misjudged as unfocused, skeptical, or afraid to commit due to their questioning nature.* Inventors might be seen as flaky, ego-driven, undisciplined, or impatient due to their constant flow of new ideas.(12:38) Discernment and Galvanizing* Discerners are often misjudged as overly judgmental due to their evaluative nature.* Galvanizers can be perceived as overly enthusiastic, insincere, or bossy.(21:26) Enablement and Tenacity* People with enablement might be seen as unwilling to say no or even dishonest due to their eagerness to help and affirm.* People with tenacity can be unfairly seen as unsympathetic or afraid to fail because of their focus on finishing tasks.This episode of The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.
