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, which provides paid media, analytics, conversion tracking, CRM integration, and technical marketing execution for internal marketing teams.
