Rory Sutherland, ladies and gentlemen; a national treasure. As time goes on, we will see far fewer people with this kind of intellect. His intelligence is equal parts learned from reading/ studying and learned from doing.
He looks like Andy Serkis’s academic older brother. Lol
Could listen to Mr. Sutherland all day.
Are they AI generated
Every video I see about this guy claims he’s sharing some psychological insight into marketing to people and it just ends on being him going on about a dozen random things that have nothing to do with that.
I think the only marketing skills he actually has is marketing himself as a marketing expert

Why do westerns always say China communist hell? What kind of proerganada is going on here?
Great video! One thing I found really interesting that wasn’t mentioned is how microbreaks during remote work can dramatically boost productivity and mental clarity. Instead of pushing through long hours at the desk, taking just 3-5 minute breaks every hour, like stretching, grabbing water, or just looking away from the screen, helps reset your focus and reduces burnout. It’s such a simple habit but makes a huge difference, especially when working from home without the natural office buzz to keep you energized. For anyone struggling with remote work fatigue, give microbreaks a try and see how it changes your day!
38:23 love Rory but I love people with a nice house and plain car. Hard disagree. Great interview!
