The Relebogile Mabotja Podcast #56 – Timothy Maurice Webster: The biology of why we can't move on

Known for his work in branding, behavioural psychology and neuroscience, Timothy Maurice Webster has built a career exploring what drives human behaviour and how we understand ourselves and others. From his work as an author and researcher to his role as the host of Brands and Brains, Timothy has spent years unpacking the psychology behind influence, identity and human connection.In this episode, I speak to Timothy about some of the beliefs and behaviours that shape how we relate to one another. We explore the psychology behind men and women, sex and attraction, how we date, and what influences the way we see ourselves and others. He also shares his perspective on genetics and identity, including the ongoing conversation around Tyla’s self-description as “Coloured”.Timothy also reflects on his own journey, from growing up as a pastor’s kid in North Carolina to building a life and career in South Africa. He speaks about his relationship with faith, culture and identity, as well as his experiences of marriage, personal growth and the lessons he has learnt along the way.From neuroscience and branding to the complexities of human connection, this conversation goes beyond how we present ourselves to explore why we think, feel and behave the way we do — and what that reveals about us.#RelebogilePod #RelebogileMabotjaPod #RelebogileMabotjaPodcast #TimothyMauriceWebster
