This week, Nicolai Tangen sits down with Saul Perlmutter, Nobel Prize–winning physicist and one of the world’s leading cosmologists. Famous for discovering that the universe is not just expanding but accelerating, Saul shares the mindset that made this groundbreaking insight possible—and how the same tools can help all of us think more clearly. Saul explains why doubt is a superpower, why humility fuels innovation, and how productive disagreement is the secret ingredient behind great teams. He breaks down how scientists make decisions in the face of uncertainty—and why most of us get it wrong. This episode is for anyone interested in science, decision-making, team performance, problem-solving—or simply hearing from one of the brightest minds on the planet.

Tune in to learn why the biggest breakthroughs don’t start with certainty, but with the courage to question everything.

In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management. New full episodes every Wednesday, and don't miss our Highlight episodes every Friday.
