This week on Canadian Salad, Andrea and Hostion toss up a fresh conversation about uncertainty — why some of us need structure while others are totally fine going with the flow.
Drawing on Hofstede’s cultural dimensions of uncertainty avoidance and individualism vs. collectivism, they explore how comfort with ambiguity shows up in our work, families, politics, and even how we shop online. From Canada’s rule-following tendencies to China’s flexible “we’ll figure it out” mindset, this episode is full of cultural contrasts, laughs, and aha moments.
🎧 Join them for a funny, thoughtful, and totally relatable chat about how uncertainty shapes our choices — and what it says about who we are.
