The Vance Crowe Podcast

Lord Ridley is back! He has a new book out "How Innovation Works: And Why It Flourishes in Freedom" and he tells me all about how peer review has broken down, how Europe got the potato and why kings would ban coffee houses (to stop gossip). Also we talk about the Dicamba ban on soybeans. It was a fun interview!

During the opening I mentioned a set of classes that I have been building online.  If you are interested in being a tester, send me an email and you can get access to the classes:
  • Zero to One: Formal lessons on how to level up your ability to capture attention and create interesting dialogues.  (Lesson plans, activities, and discussion groups)
  • Conversation Course: Vance sits down with his executive producer Ben Anderson to offer a more relaxed way to evaluate what keeps you from building better conversations and helps you imagine being more confident and comfortable.
  • Intern Boot Camp: Vance sits down 3-4 times per week with his intern to talk about professional Communications Skills, we record those sessions and share them to help early professionals learn skills for communicating more effectively.  
For those that have been asking how you can support the podcast, helping me create a program worthy of being sold to people that want to get better, will help me a great deal.
