Those two things exist inside of me and my attempt to make sense of that apparent contradiction is what makes me a rider.

You know, what makes me someone I think that other people want to read.

And I don't, there's no, I feel under no compulsion to resolve that tension.

Rather, the opposite, I should explore that tension.

Hey everyone, welcome back to on purpose the number one health podcast in the world.

Thanks to each and every single one of you that come back to listen, learn and grow.

Now, it's not every week that you get to sit down with someone who's inspired you since your teens.

And someone's books that really form so much of your decision making, your psychology growing up.

And someone's books you've had such a deep impact in my life that I know I've recommended a ton of them to each and every single one of you.

And so today's guest is none other than Malcolm Gladwell.

He's a journalist, a speaker and the author of six New York Times bestsellers, including the tipping point, blink outliers, what the dog saw, David and Goliath and talking to strangers,

which will be diving in today.

Now, he's been a star writer for the New York Times since 1996.

And foreign policy has three times named him one of their top global thinkers.

And he's been named one of times hundred most influential people.

He's a co-founder and president of Pushkin Industries.

And Pushkin Industries is an audio content company that produces the podcast revisionist history.

We haven't listened to it highly recommended, which we consider things both overlooked and misunderstood.

I'm so excited to discuss how to be a better communicator and revisit some history today.

Welcome to the show Malcolm Gladwell. Malcolm, thank you for doing this.

Not at all, my pleasure.

Yeah, it's honestly an honor to have you here.
