About this listen

DECODED by Morrow is a podcast built for people who want to think deeper, understand faster, and live with more clarity.

Most readers retain only a fraction of what they consume — and many never finish the books that could change their lives. Complex texts get abandoned. Popular books get misunderstood. Transformative insights get lost in noise.

This podcast solves that problem.

We take books — from timeless classics to modern bestsellers — and break them open.

Not by dumbing them down.

Not by offering subjective “opinions.”

But by decoding them.

Using advanced AI as an analytical tool, we extract the essential ideas, hidden structures, and core wisdom inside every text. The goal is not to replace reading, but to amplify it — to help you see what you missed, remember what you forgot, and understand what truly matters.

Each episode delivers a clean, distilled exploration of a single book:

• Key concepts

• Foundational principles

• Philosophical layers

• Practical insights

• The deeper meaning behind the words

Pure signal. Zero noise.

If you’re someone who values growth, clarity, and intellectual depth, this is your space.

One book.

One conversation.

Fully decoded.

  • Business is Code, Not Art

    Business is Code, Not Art
    Jan 30 2026

    Most people treat business like a series of chores or a creative mystery. In this episode of DECODED by Morrow, we strip away the fluff to reveal the raw source code of commerce.

    Using AI as our analytical lens, we decode "The Personal MBA" not as a collection of 200 tips, but as a technical blueprint for a high-performance engine. We explore why a "marketing problem" is often a "system entropy problem" and how to identify the bottlenecks in your own business operating system.

    What we decode in this session: • The 5-Part Engine: Value Creation, Marketing, Sales, Delivery, and Finance — and how they fail together. • Human Hardware Bugs: Why cognitive biases are the ultimate "latency" in your business system. • Sensors vs. Intuition: Why leading by "gut feeling" is just operating without feedback loops. • Fighting Entropy: How standardization and automation prevent your system from collapsing into chaos. • Modern Stress Test: Applying the BOS to AI-driven startups and the solopreneur economy.

    Stop guessing. Start engineering.

  • Hacking the Ego Firewall: The Dark Logic of Dale Carnegie

    Hacking the Ego Firewall: The Dark Logic of Dale Carnegie
    Jan 20 2026

    Most people read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" as a lesson in morality. They’re wrong.

    In this episode of DECODED by Morrow, we peel back the "polite" exterior of this 90-year-old classic to reveal its true DNA: Strategic Friction Reduction. Using AI as our analytical lens, we explore why direct persuasion is a tactical error and how "invisible influence" allows you to bypass the human ego-firewall.

    What we decode in this session: • The Ego-Preservation Interface: Why people don’t defend ideas, they defend themselves. • Compliance through Alignment: The mechanics of making your objective feel like their idea. • The Hidden Cost: What happens to your identity when you stop saying "no" to maintain harmony? • Modern Application: How these 1930s protocols apply to VC pitching, high-stakes negotiation, and UX design.

  • Why Logic Fails in Negotiations — and Emotion Takes Control

    Why Logic Fails in Negotiations — and Emotion Takes Control
    Jan 13 2026
    Most people think negotiation is about arguments, logic, and compromise. Chris Voss discovered the opposite. In Never Split the Difference, a former FBI hostage negotiator reveals that real negotiations don’t happen in words — they happen in emotions. In this episode of DECODED by Morrow, we decode the book not as a negotiation manual, but as a psychological model of how decisions are made under pressure. We explore: – why rational arguments fail in real conversations – how emotional safety quietly shapes outcomes – why “fairness” is a feeling, not a fact – how control often belongs to the side that appears to give it away – and why compromise is frequently a misunderstanding, not a solution This is not a guide to manipulation. Not a sales playbook. It’s a structural decoding of negotiation as emotional regulation — at work, with money, in conflict, and in everyday life.
