You're Guessing
More Than You Think
Why people do what they do
Guess Less with Jeremy Ostler explores that question through revealing conversations about trust, influence, conflict, and the decisions that shape our lives. Understand people better. See what you've been missing.
Different Rooms. Human Decisions.
Courtrooms. Boardrooms. Bedrooms.
A difficult conversation. A decision under pressure. A moment when trust breaks down. Guess Less explores what is happening beneath those moments. Through conversations with researchers, leaders, negotiators, and people with extraordinary experiences, Jeremy examines what drives us, what we overlook, and what changes our minds.
The goal is to leave each conversation with a clearer understanding of people—and something useful to bring into your own life.
Through the podcast, Jeremy turns decades of behavioral intelligence into practical insights on relationships, and human behavior, exploring the psychology of the decisions that shape our lives.
