In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the single interview question that can predict how responsive a candidate will be to feedback and growth. Drawing on a 2025 study from the Journal of Applied Psychology that tracked 1,200 hires over 18 months, they discuss why 'Tell me about a time you changed your mind about something important at work' is more revealing than traditional behavioral questions. Lucas shares examples from a Fortune 500 tech firm that cut early attrition by 40 percent using this approach, and Luna pushes back on whether candidates can game the answer. The hosts also examine the counterintuitive finding that candidates who offer a specific, low-stakes change of mind often outperform those who cite dramatic, high-stakes shifts.
