EP 76: Dollars and Sense, The Hidden Biases that control our spending with Jeff Kreisler Jan 09, 2018

Show notes

In a world where people are talking about crypto and digital currencies, we look at the real psychology of money and why and how we spend it. Jeff Kreisler and Dan Ariely brilliantly give us some great pointers on how we can avoid the many pitfalls and psychological traps behind our spending habits and behaviours. Money is the top reason for divorce, the number one cause of stress for people and we are demonstrably worse at all kinds of problem-solving when we have money problems on our minds. Money has changed the human condition as much as any other advance—as much as the printing press, the wheel, electricity, and al the tech advances we are now seeing We look at several of the biases and forces at play behind our financial choices and lack thereof, we discuss the following: Opportunity cost neglect and Alternatives We absolutely must, consciously or not, consider opportunity costs every time we use money. We should consider the alternatives we are giving up by choosing to spend money now. The endowment effect The Ikea effect Loss Aversion Emotional Accounting Anchoring Gateway Drugs Virtual Ownership Retirement savings Fairness and effort Anchoring Payments Frictionless. Painless. Thoughtless The pain of paying Language and how it affects what we pay.

EP 72: What is GDPR, websites leaking data and what does it mean to Media, Data Brokers and Publishers Dec 20, 2017

Show notes

GDPR is a Tidal wave headed for the digital media ecosystem. All data brokers and publishers who make margins based on personal data will be affected. This includes Global giants such as Facebook and Google. Websites are leaking personal data to unwarranted parties. Consenting audiences will be tiny compared to what we have today. The transition to non-personal data is the answer.

This week's guest is Dr Johnny Ryan, Head of Ecosystem for PageFair. Johnny is currently focussing on GDPR, the ePrivacy Regulation, and media sustainability. Johnny is also the author of "A History of the Internet and the Digital Future". Johnny breaks down what GDPR means in general and more specifically for digital publishers of all types. He discusses the pitfalls and the solutions.

EP 71: Fairtrade meets Blockchain, Fairchain Coffee - Moyee Coffee Dec 17, 2017

Show notes

Shane Reilly is co-founder of Moyee Coffee in Ireland with Killian Stokes. Moyee Coffee is a social business supplying Ethiopian speciality coffee to offices, independent retailers and online subscribers since September 2016.

Their approach to changing the coffee industry is called FairChain, which is about leaving more value, profit and jobs in coffee-producing countries like Ethiopia.

Since the early November, Moyee has been running a pilot project in Ethiopia with blockchain pioneers bext360 to prove more than ever that coffee is capable of leading the way to a more honest, fairer society. The first 'block' in the chain has already begun and you can follow real-time payments to Ethiopian farmers for their coffee cherries.

This is nothing less than a revolution and the start of a project that will bring an unprecedented level of transparency in a profoundly unfair industry. The bext360 blockchain project will mean by next year all Moyee's coffee will be fully blockchain-traceable from the washing station in Ethiopia to our retail and office customers in Europe.
