Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 Bonus: Mark Stouse, Proof Analytics

Mark Stouse was a CCO and CMO in large companies like Honeywell Aerospace. He claims that he is not a data scientist, but can play one on TV. He got to a high degree of organizational maturity, and could understand and speak to the needs of a data scientist. If he wasn't pursuing his current venture, he would likely be a history professor, as he is seriously passionate about 15th century innovation and the pre renaissance era. He is also a parent of 2 teenage boys, so outside of tech and history, he spends time doing what they want to do.

As a communications and marketing leader, Mark was frustrated with the lack of recognition for his marketing teams to the bottom line. In addition, he solved major analytics problems at his prior companies, but had massive budgets to do so. He saw that software and automation was the way forward.

This is the creation story of Proof Analytics.

Honestly with Bari Weiss - How to Change Your Mind

In a world where the personal has become political, and politics has swallowed everything, the stakes of changing your mind can feel really high. To change your mind is to risk betrayal – of your people, your culture, your tribe. But there may be nothing more important to a functioning democracy than to be able to influence each other, and be influenced ourselves, on the basis of conversation.

So for today’s episode: the neuroscience of belief change. It’s an interview that aired last year on The Making Sense podcast, hosted by Sam Harris.

Sam Harris is a lot of things: a best-selling author, a neuroscientist and a meditation teacher. In this conversation, Sam talks with cognitive neuroscientist Jonas Kaplan about how we can be more amenable to persuasion, why we mistake emotion as evidence, wishful thinking, and how we can become more critical of ourselves as we form new opinions.

As Sam has said many times before, we only have two choices to resolve conflict as human beings: violence or conversation. To change your mind, or to be open to changing your mind, is to choose the latter.
