Today's conversation is all about the current state of innovation in the business world—or, rather the lack there of. What's going on with big tech's copy cat problem right now? Rather than innovate to compete, these companies continue to replicate features from each other or smaller firms... but why? We talk about Peter Thiel's book Zero to One to define the most difficult type of innovation, and dissect other forms of innovation to figure out how we can apply them to some ideas of our own.

We're excited to share with you today an update on the vaccine phase 3 trials we volunteered for a few weeks ago. In today's episode, Jonathon gives a thorough explanation for what we can expect this month when we get our appointment for the Novavax vaccine based on documents from this specific study. Jonathon also reviews the revolutionary innovations being used in this vaccine, as well as others like Pfizer, Moderna and Jansen (by Johnson & Johnson)—so if you're looking for an easy to understand summary of the COVID-19 vaccine trials and how they work, tune in!
P.S. If you haven't already listened to episode 35. Vaccine Volunteering, we suggest you listen to that before (or after!) this to get the full update.

Confession time: how many of you listen to this podcast at more than 1x speed? If you do, don't worry—we get it. In fact, we both consume almost all digital content—audio books, videos, and podcasts—at 2x speed. But why exactly do we do this and what are the long term side effects?
Today we discuss why we've trained our brains to prefer absorbing information at faster than normal speed, the benefits of doing so, and the potential consequences it can have when engaging in the real world (when you can't make a meeting or conversation speed up).
