  • Informative but not entertaining

    Informational but the one host seemed socially awkward and made it hard to listen to. I’ll try a few more but I feel like there’s other similar podcasts out there that are better.

  • Great Interviews, interesting topics!

    Both hosts have very relaxing voices and a lovely way how to talk with the guests!

    There are great guests on the podcast and the interviews are insightful without being just high level information. It makes me want to read a lot more books and I will give Blinkist a try to manage this amount of books ;)

    Thanks a lot for this podcast, Blinkist!

    I started to listen last week and binge as much as I can as I really love the way you do this whole thing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Angela Natividad: Meet The God Inside Capitalism
Q: What one thing should people remember about the subject matter?
Stories are not just passive decorations; they are living systems that shape how we feel and behave, and by recognizing them as stories that hold up our reality, we can start to disentangle ourselves from harmful narratives and consider alternative futures beyond capitalism.
Angela Natividad: Meet The God Inside Capitalism
Q: Can you explain what an egregore is?
An egregore is a kind of spirit created by collective energy; it has agency and can influence people and events. It can be large like a nation or small like a local group, and it can be maintained or transformed through shared beliefs and rituals, including how brands function as modern egregores.
David Richo: Better Than Revenge
Q: If there were one thing you wish people understood more about revenge, what would it be?
The joy of transitioning from payback to love back, and recognizing that revenge is ultimately the opposite of love; choosing to forgive and engage in compassionate action can be a path to freedom and stronger relationships.
Christabel Mintah-Galloway: The Relational Skill Nobody Taught You
Q: What does relationality mean to you?
Christabel describes relationality as the understanding that we are relational beings and emphasizes the necessity of bringing personal growth into relationships.
Christabel Mintah-Galloway: The Relational Skill Nobody Taught You
Q: What are the primary skills of relationality?
Christabel explains that the primary skills include the ability to repair ruptures, set boundaries, and commit to interdependence.
