#53: Do our ancestors dictate our decisions? Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

Think about all the decisions you’ve made in your life. Deciding where to work, agreeing to go on that first date with your spouse, asking for fries with your burger. We like to think all of these decisions are considered and thought through. In today’s show, Tim Ash explains how most of our decisions aren’t rational. Instead, they are dictated by evolutionary traits developed thousands of years ago.

#50: What marketers can learn from your Facebook profile Mar 01, 2021

Show notes

What is the best way to learn about someone's personality without meeting them. Is it by talking to their spouse? Or is it by looking at their Facebook profile? Research suggests that Facebook knows more about our personality than our closest loved ones. Data about each of us on Facebook can be used to predict our behavior helping marketers learn what we buy, what we like, and what we believe. But how much of this is science fiction? To figure that out, I chat with Patrick Fagan, former Lead Psychologist at Cambridge Analytica about the power of online data.
