Description
The Unfolding Thought Podcast explores how people think—and how that thinking shapes what we do next.
Host Eric Pratum talks with authors, researchers, executives, creators, and unconventional thinkers about leadership, work, technology, strategy, culture, psychology, and human behavior.
Each conversation goes past obvious answers to uncover the assumptions, incentives, systems, narratives, and patterns shaping our choices. The goal is not debate or performance. It is a reflective, practical conversation that produces insight listeners can use.

The Unfolding Thought Podcast is produced by Inbound & Agile, a marketing strategy firm helping leaders think more clearly and make better decisions about strategy and communications.
