In "Outliers," Malcolm Gladwell posited that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert in something. Mike and Peter prove him wrong by mastering his dumb book over the span of about 50 minutes.

Malcolm Gladwell (@gladwell) has written multiple bestsellers that are probably on your shelf right now, including The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, and Talking to Strangers. His latest book is The Bomber Mafia: A Dream, a Temptation, and the Longest Night of the Second World War.

What We Discuss with Malcolm Gladwell:

• Why you're probably worse at detecting when other people are lying to you than you think you are (but at least it's for a good reason).
• We judge people's honesty based on their demeanor, but not everyone's behavior matches what is expected of them -- which often leads to false impressions.
• Why do we trust some institutions and people in authority almost without question, and what happens when that trust is (or is perceived to be) violated?
• How does Malcolm decide what to explore and study for his next book or podcast, and what happens to the ideas that get discarded along the way?
• Why Malcolm finds storytelling that assembles an imperfect puzzle more satisfying than a flawless conclusion.
• And much more...

What We Discuss with Malcolm Gladwell:

• Why the information we gather from face-to-face human interaction isn't as uniquely valuable as we think it is.
• Why television makes us worse at reading other people.
• Why we think we can tell if someone is lying, guilty, or deceptive -- and why we're almost always wrong.
• What determines the direction of Malcolm's projects, and how he researches and organizes the massive amount of information that goes into them.

Allen Gannett (@allen) is the founder and CEO of TrackMaven, a placeholder on the 30 under 30 lists for both Forbes and Inc., and the author of The Creative Curve: How To Develop The Right Idea, At The Right Time.

What We Discuss with Allen Gannett:

• Creativity isn't innate to a lucky few geniuses; it's a quality that anyone can learn to develop.
• Why many stories about so-called geniuses are embellished to sell an inaccurate idea of what creativity is and where this quality comes from.
• What various fields of study have known -- for years -- about the relationship between intelligence and creativity and how this is at odds with popular belief.
• Steps that show us how we can cultivate the right qualities and environment so that episodes of creative genius are more likely to strike us when we need it.
• The four laws of the creative curve that, if followed, will endow anyone with creative prowess.
• And much more...
