Steven Bartlett replied to my clip about Diary of a CEO.
At half past midnight.
Edited.
Do you know Steven Bartlett?
Not know of him.
Know him?
Most of us feel like we do. We know his voice, the lean-forward, the frown before he disagrees. And we've never met him.
This video is about why our brains can't tell the difference, and what that same wiring does to a man that 50 million people are watching.
It started because I wanted to take the Mickey. Then I read the research, and the piss-take died in my hands.
