One thing I've learned from interviewing a lot of founders and building companies myself is that

trust is the real currency of business. It's the thing that gets customers to buy, partners to say yes,

and investors to back you. But as you grow, trust stops being just a feeling and becomes something

you have to prove. Because the bigger you get, the more exposed you are, customer data,

security expectations, regulations, all of it. And the risk of one small mistake

becomes incredibly significant. And if you've ever tried to scale while keeping on top of all of that,

you'll know it can become a full-time job. But our sponsor Vanta automates your compliance

processes and brings compliance, risk and customer trust together through their AI-powered platform.

And the company's already using Vanta, say they spend 82% less time on audits because of Vantas platform.

So if your organisation wants to inject time back into building and growing, make sure you head over to vanta.com slash diary.

That's vanta.com slash diary.

What do you think? What do you think I should say to my future son about the worlds that he's growing up in

in terms of the mismatch between our evolution and his natural hardwiring.

Wow, what a great question.

So there is something called the mismatch hypothesis, an evolutionary theory,

which basically says that many problems that we face today arise out of a mismatch

of a phenomenon that was adaptive in our ancestral

past, but is no longer adaptive in our contemporary modern world. Classic example to stick to food.

We've evolved the gustatory preferences as a response to caloric scarcity and caloric uncertainty. Therefore, being

attracted to fatty foods, gorging on a lot of food makes perfect evolutionary sense when we don't

know when our next meal is coming from. When we live in an environment of plentitude,

then that exact phenomenon becomes maladaptive.
