| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with my producer, Jason |
| 0:04.0 | de Philipo. On this episode, we're talking with my good friend Shane Snow. He's also the |
| 0:09.0 | author of a couple of books, including Dream Teams, in which I'm quoted. Well, misquoted, |
| 0:13.4 | but hey, I'm in a book. So there, Shane's an interesting guy. He's exposed arms trafficking, |
| 0:18.0 | eaten only ice cream for weeks in the name of science, created a nine-figure business out of |
| 0:22.8 | telling stories and helping companies tell theirs. Today, we'll explore the concept of teamwork |
| 0:27.4 | and being a team player. It's the number one most underserved topic in business, even though we |
| 0:31.9 | hear all about it all the time, almost at nauseam, especially when you're going to school. And it's |
| 0:36.8 | also the thing our society needs most right now. New science and fun stories in history teach us how |
| 0:42.5 | we can turn the depressing truth of human collaboration on its head and change our world. Maybe the |
| 0:48.1 | whole world today will also discover how we can hack our creativity in some surprising ways from |
| 0:53.4 | Ben Franklin's own hacks to something called lateral thinking and how that can help us come up with |
| 0:58.4 | ideas we'd never otherwise connect with. We'll also discuss the concept of cognitive friction, |
| 1:03.3 | the secret ingredient of breakthrough teams. In other words, the difference between groups of people |
| 1:07.2 | with lots of potential who don't reach it and those who do, it's not how well they get along. |
| 1:12.1 | It's how well they fight and we'll be teaching you how to fight properly here on the show today. |
| 1:17.4 | As always, we've got worksheets for today's episodes. You can make sure you got all the key points |
| 1:21.6 | here from Shane Snow. The fee for this show in every episode is that you share it with friends when |
| 1:26.6 | you find something useful, which should hopefully be in every episode and the worksheets are how we |
| 1:30.9 | make sure that the link to the worksheets as always in the show notes, Jordan Harbinger.com slash podcast. |
| 1:37.2 | Now here's Shane Snow. Shane, thanks for coming on the show, man. Hey, it's great to be here. |
| 1:42.4 | You know, I met you a long time ago. We were talking about totally different topics and you are |
