This special episode brings together leading behavioral scientists—Jared Peterson, Steph Habif, Chloe Hamman, Teis Jorgensen, Eden Brownell, and host Matt Wallaert—for a candid discussion on the frameworks of behavioral science.

The conversation takes off from Jared’s original piece ranking Behavioral Science Frameworks, which later sparked debate and disagreement across the community on his LinkedIn Post. Together, the group unpacks what that moment revealed about our discipline: the power of frameworks and the strong opinions that surface when science meets practice.

From philosophy to application, this episode captures the passion, disagreement, and curiosity that drive the evolution of behavioral science.
