On this episode of Tell Me, I'm speaking with Adam Grant. Adam is an organizational psychologist

0:13.6

and a Ted Speaker. His latest book is called Think Again, The Power of Knowing What You

0:18.2

Don't Know, actually inspired me to do this podcast. He talks in this book about the

0:23.8

power of rethinking what we think we already know and how important it is to reframe the

0:29.6

way we think about things. And it's a practice that I think we all could benefit from how
