Neil discusses the upcoming election and reflects on why Trump won in 2016:

"Here's an interesting factoid, 12% of Bernie Sanders voters voted for Trump. We know that now. A massive survey that was done later on, which actually is very interesting and it says something about the impulse for Trump.

Neil recommends one of his favorite books, The Blueprint by Robert Plomin and shares some parenting advice:

"...the thing that parents should do more is to keep your eyes open, watch your kid for the talents they have that you will discover. Not so much the stuff you're going to shape them to do." |
