Malcolm Gladwell: Contrarian Thinking, Social Change and Why CEOs Should Be Boring

In this episode of In Good Company, Nicolai Tangen and bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell explore why core human challenges remain unchanged despite technological advancement. Gladwell shares fascinating insights on wealth psychology and leadership, revealing why successful people can't step away from work and what makes mediocrity in sports valuable. He also takes us behind the scenes of his creative process, explaining why he prefers interviewing people "five steps down" from CEOs and how he crafts compelling narratives. Ever wonder why the wealthy tend to complain more than others? Or what makes some people naturally contrarian? Tune in to find out!
