How to unlock the power of groups through collective communication.They say teamwork makes the dream work. But as Colin Fisher knows, unlocking the power of groups requires a specific kind of collective communication.Fisher is an associate professor of organizations and innovation at University College London School of Management and author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. His research reveals the dichotomy of group dynamics: "Groups can be the pinnacle of human accomplishment," he says. "But groups also have these tendencies to restrict us, to take away our individuality, and to sometimes make us the worst versions of ourselves.” The key, he argues, is fostering communication that maximizes the creative synergy of collaboration while minimizing the pressure to conform.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fisher joins host Matt Abrahams to share evidence-based strategies for effective teamwork, from selecting the ideal group size to fostering psychological safety. Whether with our coworkers, our families, or our friends, Fisher's insights reveal how collective communication can make or break group success.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Colin FisherColin's Book: The Collective EdgeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful MomentsEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings   Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:19) - Advantages and Disadvantages of Groups (03:53) - What Makes Teams Successful (05:37) - The Ideal Group Size (06:33) - Building Psychological Safety (08:49) - Launching a Team for Success (13:10) - Making Meetings More Effective (16:25) - The Final Three Questions (23:13) - Conclusion   ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

In this episode, I'm joined by John Mailander, a fearless and lyrical fiddler/violinist whose work bridges bluegrass, jazz, ambient improvisation, and songcraft. We trace his path from San Diego to Berklee (where he studied American Roots with mentor Darol Anger) to Nashville, where he found a close-knit community that's as experimental as it is supportive. John discusses the city's “weirdo music” scene, ambient nights, free improvisation, and oddball collaborations, and how that energy coexists alongside the touring calendar. We dig into his life-changing chair with Bruce Hornsby: the no-setlist ethos, learning the “top 80” deep-cut originals, living on the edge together, and the night Bruce rearranged the stage so John could stand next to John Scofield, then kept tossing them intertwined solos all evening. John shares recent runs with Sam Grisman (with hero Peter Rowan onboard), producing and recording more from Nashville, and the origin of his own band Forecast, a genre-porous collective inspired by Bill Frisell, Brian Blade Fellowship, Pat Metheny/Brad Mehldau, and Joni Mitchell. We talk through the new record Let the World In: how residency nights at Dee's in Madison shaped the tunes, why the drums sound so alive, and why he welcomes rotating lineups to hear the same music through new lenses. Teaching and mentorship thread through the conversation: passing on what was given to him (formally and backstage between songs), honoring influences like Matt Mundy (ARU/Bruce Hampton), and why the point isn't “pushing boundaries” as a goal but playing honestly enough that the music pushes itself. It's a generous, grounded conversation about trust, curiosity, and letting the music lead.To learn more about John, visit his website.

For the Paris-born, New York–based artist Camille Henrot, time practically never stands still. Across her work in film, drawing, painting, sculpture, installation—and soon, live performance—Henrot has developed ways of stretching and distorting time, seamlessly shifting from moments of potent, rapid-fire intensity to quiet reflection. While her work carries a theory-driven ferocity and intelligence, it's also incredibly playful. Hers is serious art that manages—often with a knowing, subtle wink—to not take itself too seriously.On this episode of Time Sensitive, Henrot considers the subjectivity of speed and slowness; previews her upcoming first-ever performance-art piece, slated to premiere in 2026 and a collaboration with the nonprofit Performa; and reflects on why, for her, a work is technically never finished. She also shares her fraught fascination with animals, childhood, and the climate crisis—the intersection of which she examines in-depth in her soon-to-debut film “In the Veins.”Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Camille Henrot[4:30] RoseLee Goldberg[4:30] Performa Biennial[6:37] Buster Keaton[6:37] Tex Avery[7:03] Estelle Hoy[7:19] Adam Charlap Hyman of Charlap Hyman & Herrero[16:10] “In the Veins” (2026)[17:45] "Grosse Fatigue"[17:45] Massimiliano Gioni[38:51] Roland Barthes[45:36] Pierre Huyghe[47:51] Ikebana Sogetsu[51:46] Okwui Enwezor[55:03] Hypernormalisation by Adam Curtis (2016)[59:51] Jacob Bromberg[59:51] Akwetey Orraca-Tetteh[1:08:50] Adrienne Rich[1:08:50] Ursula K.

https://youtu.be/O0ueKBdG0QE Welcome back to Superhumanize, 
the space where we remember the sacred intelligence of being human. Where science meets soul, where consciousness meets curiosity, 
and where we play at the edge of possibility. Today's guest is a man who dances in paradox, a bridge between the form and the formless.
 He has woven beats into ceremonial ecstasy, and guided rooms of souls back into the wild magic of play. Joshua Draper is a multi-dimensional artist, producer, improv alchemist, and musical shapeshifter.
 But more than that, he is a frequency holder for the sacred yes,
that living impulse in us that says:
“I will risk being seen. I will play. I will trust the unknown.” In a world that teaches us to compete, to compare, to perform, Joshua invites us into a different game, one where everyone wins.
 One where laughter is a medicine,
 intuition is a compass, 
and surrender is not defeat,
 but a doorway. So today, we drop the script.
 We follow the thread.
 We grow through play. Episode Highlights 03:00 – Joshua shares his background in improvisation, from studying at Chicago's Second City and Improv Olympic to seeing life itself as one great improv scene.05:00 – The deeper lessons of improv: fearlessness, cooperation, trust, and group listening. How improvisation re-patterns the nervous system toward openness and receptivity.07:15 – Improv as “auric yoga”: training the mind and body to say yes to life instead of contracting in fear or resistance.10:00 – How Joshua structures his workshops: creating safe pods, starting with eye contact and energetic presence before moving into simple, playful exercises.12:00 – The “Five Things” exercise and how saying “Yes!” to each other builds trust, dopamine, and communal flow.13:15 – Presence, sensing, and the power of eye gazing as a form of deep human connection.15:00 – Listening versus sensing: how to perceive what's beneath the words, tuning into gesture, posture, and subtext.16:30 – Intuition and embodiment: Joshua describes the connection between gut and face—the physical pathway of intuition and expression.19:00 – Collaborative play versus competition. How true play is cooperative, not about winning or losing, and how honesty fuels comedy.21:00 – The “healing trap” of constant self-work and how play offers an equally potent path to personal growth and neural rewiring.23:00 – The mythic roots of play: how all ritual and culture began with improvisation, even the naming of the stars.25:30 – A profound healing story: a woman reconnects with her deceased son through an improv exercise.29:00 – Being comfortable with the unknown—why mystery is essential to play,...
