What if everything you’ve been told about innovation, prosperity, and even climate change… is missing the bigger picture? In this episode, I sit down with Matt Ridley, a renowned science writer, journalist, and thinker who has spent decades uncovering how human progress really happens. His books have shaped the way the world understands evolution, economics, and technological breakthroughs—all while challenging mainstream narratives.

He's been named one of the "World's Top 100 Global Thinkers" by Foreign Policy magazine and has received numerous awards for his contributions to science communication and economic thought. He has been a regular columnist for The Wall Street Journal and The Times, and his TED Talks have reached millions.
