In this episode, we speak with Professor John A. List from the University of Chicago about his latest book “The Voltage Effect – How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale”, pushing us to evaluate ideas and identify which can scale to have true impact.
In this conversation we discussed:
– That early experimentation at baseball card shows can lay the foundation for real behavioral learning
– How using an Early Childhood Education Center proved the perfect laboratory for testing ideas
– The power of uses the huge user bases of Lyft & Uber allow for testing at scale
– How a seatbelt law in the United States didn’t necessarily lead to less road fatalities
