This week, David & Michael are joined by Marc A. Ross, an accomplished senior geopolitical strategist, communications executive and founder of Brigadoon. When the US sneezes, the world catches a cold, so this week we drill down into the state of the US economy and what effects that will cause over here. Also, why is Biden averse to a British state visit?

Fellow BSers,Welcome to A Load of BS: The Behavioural Science Podcast and to Part 2 of my conversation with Washington based political strategist Marc A. Ross.For those of you who tuned in to Part 1, you'll remember Marc's exuberant, ebullient and entertaining style; his infectious enthusiasm for his subject. And you'll also remember that we covered a lot of ground. Marc shared his great anecdote about Clinton's candy shop in regard to exerting power and influence, we discussed the delusions required to make it as a politician and we talked a lot about the reality of the Hill (and indeed political affairs in general) beyond the media hysteria.Today, we pick up the baton to discuss a wild array of topics which will enlighten you:Sanders, Corbyn and political self-sabotageThe illusion of similarityFloundering Kamala HarrisRory Sutherland's 'make it pink' boardroom strategyProblems with the polling industryCampaign school: the mathematics behind the US electionDiversity in politicsTrump disinfectant and the pirate ship of rejectsWill Trump run again? Hopefully off the treadmillBooks we reference:The Clustering of America, by Michael J. WeissAmerican Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America, by Colin WoodardAlchemy: The Magic of Original Thinking in a World of Mind-Numbing Conformity, by Rory SutherlandThe Win Without Pitching Manifesto, by Blair EnnsConfessions of an Advertising Man, by David Ogilvy

Fellow BSers,If you liked House of Cards (UK version wins every time) or The West Wing, you're in for a treat. This week, I welcome political strategist, namesake and keeper of our eponymous tartan and ice shelf, Marc A. Ross to A Load of BS. Marc's storytelling, his exuberance and his experience at the forefront of global politics glitters through both Part 1 and Part 2 of our conversation. Marc is a political nut; he fell in love with Reagan's campaign in 1984 as a young teenager and has been immersed ever since. You'll hear in the pod that Marc's knowledge and interests fly way beyond home affairs; he is no partisan, his outlook is utterly global and he is a keen student of our British system amongst other, believing firmly that a broad lens gives perspective.He is the founder of Caracal, a communications and political intelligence firm specializing in international trade, commercial relations, economic diplomacy and global business. He is also the founder of Brigadoon, a global membership network helping leaders make better connections and helping them better understand the emerging issues shaping commerce and culture.This only scratches the surface of Marc's affiliations. Best is to see here for the fullest picture.If that quality of build up hasn't attracted you to subscribe to A Load of BS (if indeed you aren't already!), then here is your moment.
