About Meghan Cochran
In all spheres humans make decisions based on a wide range of implicit and explicit beliefs that guide their understanding of the world and their place in it. I study what people believe, why they believe it, and how they translate those beliefs into action. My professional background is in product management in consumer technology. I study theology at the San Francisco Theological Seminary. Previously, I studied literature at Bard College and NYU, and business administration at Harvard Business School.NBN Episodes hosted by Meghan:
