0:00.0	Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Impact Theory. I am here with somebody I find utterly fascinating. His name is Martin Lindstrom. Martin, welcome to the show.
0:09.2	Thank you, and thank you for inviting me. Dude, thank you for coming on. I am really fascinated with how you think. I think there's two big things we're going to talk about today. And that is obviously the core topic of your new book, Ministry of Common Sense.
0:21.3	We're going to talk about common sense. But the thing that I didn't see coming that I want to
0:24.3	start with is how insightful you are around disruption and how people can leverage that.
0:32.3	But before you tell us that, give us like a quick snapshot. You are so hard to encapsulate. I'm curious to see how you explain yourself.
0:43.0	I explain myself as a very curious person which are always challenging things around myself. I'm very observant. And that means I see small details most people don't see, and I see
0:56.4	huge opportunity in them all the time.
0:58.6	And once I fall in love with one of those small details, I run like hell until it become real.

1:21.9	behavior sort of in the wild, which I find really interesting, and then taking those little
1:26.6	observations and writing about them.
1:28.4	So, okay, back to disruption. I think many people will see it as a catastrophic moment.
1:32.3	It would be very easy to contextualize what we're all going through now here at the end of 2020
1:36.4	as catastrophic. But in that disruption, you see opportunity. How?
1:42.9	Absolutely. I see opportunities everywhere. I mean, I'll explain a story. I was in
1:48.7	Sydney, in Australia during the pandemic. And one day I noticed this old latest he approached a
1:55.9	stranger's dog and started to pet it. And I never really thought about that before, but it's very rare you see that happening.
2:03.7	Guess what?
2:04.3	Two days later, exactly the same happened.
