Summary

Malcolm Gladwell (Revenge of the Tipping Point) is a 5x New York Times bestselling author, journalist, and podcaster. Malcolm joins the Armchair Expert to discuss why he thinks people don’t talk about money enough, what he learned about covid superspreaders, and why he decided to write an antidote to his previous book. Malcolm and Dax talk about how many outsiders a group needs before it changes, how bad actors can hijack systems for their own gain, and how much they love a digression. Malcolm explains the culture of elite sports, his fascination with the city of Miami, and how television can be a transformative revolutionary force.
