For just about all of us, our lives currently feel disrupted, and frozen – and there is significant uncertainty as to when that will end. There is a way of helping to turn that on its head however – and that is by trying different things. This being a show about uncertainty, this is a great time to walk that talk.

Welcome to our first ever “cross-cast”. I join forces with Christian Hunt, founder of Human Risk and the host of the Human Risk podcast. We decided to record a joint episode, put it up on each of our shows. The result is the aptly named “All Things Human Risk”.

We had Christian on the show for episode 115. His approach to using behavioural science to tackle risk makes him one of these rare people that helps us think differently. And right now, that is exactly what we need. This was a fun conversation that had loads of great stuff, including:

• Why even the current situation is hard for so many of us;
• Opportunities in uncertainty;
• Routines versus doing new things;
• The importance of “doing nothing”;
• Grief;
• Travel;
• Naps;
• Conspiracy theories;
• Loads more!
