In this episode, I talk with mathematician and author Ben Orlin. Ben is the creator of the "Math With Bad Drawings" blog and similarly titled book, which I can't recommend highly enough. In this episode, we talk about the book, misconceptions about mathematical aptitude, the importance of allowing yourself to be stuck with a problem, and more.
