This episode is all about communication. Ben Whately from Memrise joins Brett Kistler to discuss how his team built Memrise to utilize principles of human psychology rooted in science rather than strict pedagogy. He digs into the nuance of how humans naturally learn language and how, leveraging this understanding, Memrise has been able to help upwards of 59 million users from 189 countries learn to speak more than 23 different languages. In the >10 years Ben has been building Memrise, he has learned a lot. In our conversation, Ben shares some of those lessons, including how reassessing his own communication skills helped him to connect with his team and empower them to drive the mission forward together.
