Michelle and I discuss her new book and why personal connections are so important to doing business today. We talk about how to network if you're a shy person (or just hate the term "networking"), and how important it is to add value to your relationships. We also run through the seven mindsets of a connector and the connector spectrum so you can get a feel for how you're connecting with other people in your industry and beyond. And, we discuss the importance of focusing on your similarities with other people and why you should connect with people over things beyond what you do for work.

Michael and I talk about how businesses are beginning to apply behavioral science in their approaches to both employee engagement and consumer behavior. We discuss how the field is only in its infancy and how much more we have to learn, and we talk about some firms and practitioners that are paving the way for some serious innovation in the application of behavioral science. Michael also touches on the role of gamification in behavioral science and where we're already seeing behavioral science change consumer decision-making.

As plastic sits out there in the oceans, salt, sun, UV, and wave action turn your plastic bottles into microplastics, which get eaten by sea-dwelling animals and throw off the whole ecosystem and food chain. Julie Andersen, of Plastic Oceans International, and I talk about the basics of why plastic is so bad for our environment, just how big the problem really is, and what activists can do to get involved in changing our plastic consumption habits and norms.
