Will Storr Part 1 | The Status Game

Why do humans care so much about what other people think?

This week on Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, Jimmy sits down with bestselling author and journalist Will Storr to explore one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives: status.

Will has spent years investigating the hidden psychological forces that drive human behaviour. In this conversation, he explains why our brains are wired to seek status, why we constantly misjudge how status works in modern society, and how these instincts shape everything from work and politics to social media and success.

They also dive into Will’s career as a journalist and storyteller, how his reporting led him deep into the science of human behaviour, and the ideas behind his latest work on status and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.

Expect a conversation about human psychology, ambition, storytelling, and the invisible rules that govern social hierarchies - and why understanding them might change how you see the world.
