What is the single most watched topic on Peter Scroller?

Without a doubt, the manosphere.

So this has been brought about.

Louis Theroux, obviously Gareth Southgate, you know, presented these documentaries which have absolutely sparked a conversation about boys and men and the way that they interact with each other, with the wider communities, with women.

All of this.

And this is something which a spotlight is being shone on at this moment.

But this has been brewing for years and we've seen how this has been represented.

the topic in itself like knife crime or manosphere so i it is encouraging that young people are choosing and this is the thing is they're choosing to look at these specific topics that that that is really really helpful now pshe covers heavy topics like mental health how how do you keep the app safe without making it feel boring or sanitized

Well, from my math mind, we are nowhere near the frontier, so I'm optimistic.

[upbeat music] So we sometimes call this state, this experience of work, exhausted mediocrity.

And when we say that, it really hits some people hard.

And it's this mix of feeling both stressed and bored at the same time.

So our friend Adam Grant sometimes uses the word languishing to describe this, uh, variety of this experience.

It's a beautiful word.

It...

Yeah, I think that's exactly right.

It started with women in academia who were really high achieving, but they thought they weren't.

Yeah, the original paper that this pair of psychologists wrote in the '70s was The Imposter Phenomenon in High Achieving Women.

And, and to your point, they talked to more than 100 kick-ass academics, all female, and they noticed that there was...

I like your word distortion.

There was this cognitive distortion that was a thread in the internal experience of these women.

And I think there's also good data around the fact that it, it can and does happen to anyone.

It is more common in women.

... snapshot of reality.

So I think we wanna make sure that you do both of those things.

Yeah.

So Frances, I'm thinking of our friends at Domino's, and I think we've shared this story on the show before.

But when they were in the middle of wrestling with some of these questions, you know, m- m- much bigger scale, but it's the same question, "How are we going to grow?" One of the things that they discovered is that the taste of the pizza was in the way.

So they were delivering on the brand promise of getting you your pizza in 30 minutes or less.

But as one reporter pointed out at the time, you then had to eat it, right? So they w- they went through this g- glorious pivot of getting better at this core capability of making great pizza.

Along the way, the CEO took out a billboard in the biggest town square they could find, which was Times Square, like literally Times Square in the middle of New York City, and scrolled customer comments across the billboard in real time, and the comments were about the taste of the pizza.

So our friend Adam Grant sometimes uses the word languishing to describe this, a variety of this experience.

It's a beautiful word.

It, but it's something beyond just feeling stuck or stagnant.

Yeah, I think that's exactly right.
