Jeff Kreisler, Editor in Chief of PeopleScience.com is also the co-author of Dollars and Sense akong with Duke Professor Dan Ariely. Jeff gave us tips on how to spend smarter. At the end of August, bUneke received a press release, announcing that September 6 is Fight Procrastination Day, and suggested we may want to talk with Jeff about this because "companies need employees to stop procrastinating and get to work." We weren't procrastinating, but we were swamped with getting the next issue out, so the press release wasn't read until much later. Jeff graciously agreed to join us, anyway! We'll discuss some of the tools that are able to identify the decision-making biases and unconscious drivers of their employees' delay and avoid tactics. We had a great chat about rational money choices, the science behind why people love "a good sale" and his book, Get Rich Cheating, which led into a conversation about how money messes with our heads.

From 2009: I’m not a big advocate of cheating to get ahead in life. But let’s face it, these are not normal times. So I’m willing to consider options that were previously anathema to a good two-shoes like myself. Enter Jeff Kreisler, an old friend of the Mr. Media Radio show and the author of the new book, Get Rich Cheating: The Crooked Path to Easy Street. In this manual to the easy life, he kicks ethics to the curb and puts readers on the fast track to mastering scams, frauds, steroids and PR.

We spoke about how, idealistically, the banks will not take advantage of the consumer by promoting loans, credit cards, margin of credits, etc. It's a nice service when the consumer needs it, but it can be detrimental to be encouraged to take loans for the sake of consumerism. We also spoke about the abuse of the Canadian banking system towards their clients by offering only high fee mutual funds, by disguising the fees, by making the client believe that they are getting free financial advice when in reality they are paying about 3% MER (Management Expense Ratio).

A writer, performer and producer with impressive Ivy League credentials… who believes that the world can be saved with more thinking, passion, and aggressive naps!
