    2023 Fall Economic Statement: Meredith, Robson and Speer

    2023 Fall Economic Statement: Meredith, Robson and Speer

    The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.

    We’re setting the policy table ahead of the 2023 Fall Economic Statement with our pod's favourite public policy thinkers. We had them on here last December as a policy troika, then after last spring's federal budget, and with us again today are: Dr. Jennifer Robson, Sean Speer and Tyler Meredith.

    Jennifer is Program Director and Associate Professor of Political Management at Carleton University where she teaches in Public Policy and Research Methods. Her primary areas of research are at the intersection of household finances and the design and implementation of public programs.

    Sean is Assistant Professor of Public Policy at U of T’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. Before that, he was senior economic adviser to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He’s also a Founder and Editor-at-Large at the very excellent, The Hub dot ca.

    And, as of January, Tyler is a Founding Partner at Meredith/Boessenkool Policy Advisors. He’s the former Head of Fiscal and Economic Policy for Prime Minister Trudeau and Ministers of Finance, Chrystia Freeland and Bill Morneau.

    THE BONUS - corporate culture lessons from Uber on what not to do

    THE BONUS - corporate culture lessons from Uber on what not to do

    Uber's story is a cautionary tale in what NOT to do when creating corporate culture in a startup, according Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber. It's the book Lisa's fellow work book nerd Catherine Robson chose as best bedtime page turner. Written by award-winning New York Times technology reporter Mike Isaac, the book chronicles the rise and the catastrophic fall of the corporate giant based on hundreds of interviews with current and former Uber employees.

    Episode 16: Beware the Intelligence Trap! (with David Robson)

    Episode 16: Beware the Intelligence Trap! (with David Robson)
    Do highly intelligent people actually take better decisions in their daily lives than everyone else? And if not, what’s missing from our picture of what it means to be ‘smart’? Can you be highly intelligent, yet flunk a rationality test? And rather than noise to be ignored, might our emotions help us make decisions that are actually more rational? David Robson joins Igor and Charles to discuss intelligence traps, Terman’s Termites, the Monte Carlo fallacy, Damasio’s Somatic Marker hypothesis, the competitive humility of the start-up culture, and the ‘brutal pessimism’ baked in to the dark history of the Intelligence test. Igor wrangles with the challenge of convincing leaders of the merits of intellectual humility in a culture obsessed with certainty, David advocates for widespread cognitive inoculations, and Charles learns that butterflies in the stomach after a date may mean love, but also may mean gastric flu. Welcome to Episode 16. Special Guest: David Robson.
