One of my favorite conversations this past few years. Thank you Malcolm and Holly. Wonderful exchange of ideas, thoughts, concerns... I'm 70, I have no fear of youth. The thing that scares me most is old school ignorance.

René, boomer Bob here , same concern!!! Dad born in 1908 had a saying 'the good old days weren't so good'

Mr Gladwell hit the spot on hiring. Was a manager for several years at a large international corporation with a very large HR department. System was for managers to do the hiring, didn't take long to realize I had zero hiring skills due to fact I rarely added people to my area! Second realization was HR is the expert group, just hire and send to me, I can figure it out from there...

Malcolm is great. My manner of talking to strangers has changed

22:32 Woman with her hand raised in the corner " I want to gossip on the telephone!" What a great leap forward for mankind! Maybe we can find MORE ways to gossip as its super valuable! Ive got an idea, let's dedicate work time to gossip about our colleagues and managers - that will definitely improve the workplace!

I grew up in a family business in the 1960 s and the phone was for business only and was until the computer was mainstream.....then I got a smartphone , flip,phone and all everybody does since then is text ....I never really talked on the phone much , since day one in my life and I just turned 70 .

The movie g background is too distracting, cannot watch this...

He’s always interesting to listen too, sadly his call on changing government creating a better more trustworthy environment has been proven incorrect. It would be better that he should write a book on government and how they highjacked society and capitalism ruining both. I had hoped he was about to say a change to block chain government, everything is public logged and transparent.

Friends analogy ...they are acting ! ......... it’s not real

[@miyaytamayo8964]

Why does Malcolm look so worryingly frail and sick in this interview
