What if riding a motorcycle could rewire your brain—and reveal truths about society, risk, and human instinct?Neuroscientist and cognitive theorist Mark Changizi joins the Futures Edge with Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino to explore how brain science, cultural evolution, and motorcycle riding intersect. Blending physics with cognitive science, he unpacks mass hysteria during COVID-19, questions the role of experts, and reveals how our responses are shaped more by culture than clinical data.But that's just the beginning. Drawing from his book The Motorcycle Mind, Changizi shifts gears into the immersive experience of riding motorcycles. From the thrill of countersteering and optic flow to the controversial idea that riding without a helmet can actually heighten sensory awareness, he explains why motorcycles are more than machines—they're psychological tools for clarity, presence, and personal empowerment.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Mark Cangizzi02:00 The Role of Experts and Data in COVID05:54 Understanding Data and Its Interpretation09:05 Mass Hysteria and Public Perception13:04 Motorcycle Riding: A Unique Experience17:02 The Science Behind Riding Motorcycles21:03 The Psychological Aspects of Riding29:58 Therapeutic Benefits of Riding30:41 The Transformative Power of Motorcycles33:09 Riding Without a Helmet: A Physics Perspective39:11 Safety Improvements in Motorcycles40:12 The Mindset of Motorcycle Riders42:27 Engagement and Awareness on Motorcycles46:39 Risk Assessment: Motorcycles vs. Cars47:40 The Role of Noise in Motorcycle Culture54:05 The Electric Bike Experience55:11 Design and Evolution in Human Psychology

ItalianBach is a hugely successful digital star with close to 5million followers; he's someone who relentlessly works and studies his craft so I was fascinated to have him in the studio to find out about not only how he's building his business, but where that drive and motivation comes from. Isaac chatted to me about how he chose his alias, ItalianBach, and his first forays into making content. Together we joked about some of our most embarrassing moments from being anxious children and how, despite experiencing burnout from time to time, the persistent desire to keep creating content will never abate. This conversation was truly engrossing for anyone who loves YouTube and how sometimes the oldest and simplest tricks will always be the best.

As we stand on the precipice of a shifting political landscape in the United States, feelings range from jubilation to despair, reflecting the diverse tapestry of human emotion and expectation. But beyond the immediate reactions to change, lies a profound philosophical question: How do we respond to the transformations that life imposes upon us? Drawing on the poignant metaphor of the caterpillar's metamorphosis, we explore the unsettling yet fascinating process of complete transformation. Just as the caterpillar surrenders to a process that sees it dissolve before rebirth as a butterfly, we too are sometimes required to undergo profound internal changes that challenge the very core of our identity. This episode asks, is the pain and uncertainty of transformation a necessary path to renewal and growth? Weaving together insights from biology, philosophy, and spirituality, we consider the broader implications of change within our personal lives and our wider communities. Are we merely subjects to the whims of fate, or active participants steering through the chaos of transformation towards a hopeful future?

Jacob welcomes Adam Mastroianni onto the show to discuss his 2023 article in Nature about how it is human nature to assume that the world is always getting worse. This is that rare bit of content that is entirely optimistic – it invites you to consider that our perception of the world is grounded not in what is actually happening in the world but in how we are programmed to think about it. --Timestamps:00:01 - Introduction to Adam Mastriani00:15 - The Illusion of Moral Decline00:31 - Human Psychology and Moral Perception04:38 - Survey Findings on Morality02:03 - Understanding Cooperation and Negativity Bias14:03 - Exploring Political Polarization11:28 - The Role of Social Media in Perception42:26 - Conclusion: Optimism in a Complex World--Referenced in the Show:Link to article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06137-x--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapCI Site: cognitive.investmentsSubscribe to the Newsletter: bit.ly/weekly-sitrep--Cognitive Investments is an investment advisory firm, founded in 2019 that provides clients with a nuanced array of financial planning, investment advisory and wealth management services.

Library Research.Based on a post by smalltitslovr, in 4 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories.I walked back to the elevator, pressed the button, and got on. This time, nobody joined me, so I was by myself. The elevator door closed, and my hand immediately went between my legs. I figured I could probably cum before the elevator reached the bottom floor.What I didn't count on was people waiting on the other floors. About two floors down, the door opened, with a ding. It nearly gave me a heart attack, seeing the librarian and a couple students standing there, looking at me with my hand on my cunt."Oh. Sorry." said the librarian. "We'll catch the next one."The door closed, and I continued. I was just starting to orgasm when the elevator opened at the bottom floor. I gasped and writhed with the fantastic sensations coursing through my body, while the security student and everyone else in the lobby watched.After a moment, I had recovered. By then, the door had closed. I pressed the open door button, and walked out. I smiled at the security guy as I walked past, through the detectors, and out the door.I was exhausted from my recent release, so I didn't feel like running. I walked back to class. By now there were quite a few more people out and about, and all of them looked at me, but I didn't really care.As I got closer to my class, I saw a few of my naked classmates arriving at about the same time.We walked back through the halls, and into the classroom, to be greeted by a smiling Ms. Sharon."Well, how'd it go?" she asked.None of us really had anything to say about it all."Well, your lack of words is alright for today. I expected it. Don't forget your homework. I'll see you all next time."Once again, I quickly got dressed, and left.Day three: human anatomy.Day three.I was a bit more nervous, so I arrived earlier than usual. I got there about 10 minutes before class started. Because I was so early, I was the first one to arrive.I walked to my usual spot in the second row, and put my bag next to my chair. Before being seated, I took a big breath and readied myself for what I was about to do.The reason I was so nervous today was Ms. Sharon's instruction from the previous class: "be naked before class starts". In the previous classes, we were each named off, and stripped one-by-one at the command of Ms. Sharon. When Ms. Sharon told me to strip, I didn't have much choice. I either stripped, just like everyone else, or I would lost points for participation. Besides, I knew it was necessary for the class, and I wouldn't learn as much if I didn't.But this time was it was a bit different. This time I would strip at my own leisure. I knew I could choose not to, and wait until class started, but Ms. Sharon said to be naked before class started, and I knew there had to be a reason for that.So, I took another big breath, and whispered to myself, "here goes nothing."I grabbed the bottom of my purple t-shirt, and slipped it up over my head, lifting my arms high into the air. Just like the previous class, I opted for no underwear, since they'd be coming off anyhow. So, once my shirt was removed, I was standing there, alone in a classroom, topless. I felt a draft glide over my naked torso, and shivered. I dropped my shirt onto my bag before continuing.For my bottom half today, I decided to wear a purple and black skirt made of a light material; maybe polyester. I knew it would be easier to remove a skirt than pants, and I wanted to make this as easy as possible for myself. So, I untied the side of the skirt, and slipped it down my legs, bending over.Before I stood back up, I heard a whistle from behind, which made me jump. I snapped my hands to my chest and my crotch, and spun around to face my guest.As I turned, I saw it was Filipe, who was zealously inspecting my entire naked body. I wondered how much he saw before announcing his presence. I couldn't be sure, but I'd bet he saw my cunt from between my legs while I was bent over."Sorry Samantha," he said, as he walked toward his usual spot on the left side of the classroom. "I couldn't help it. You are just so sexy!""Uh; well; " I stammered, trying to think of a valid response, given the situation. "Thank you, I guess.""You're welcome." he replied with a smile, as he placed his bag on the floor. "I see you've followed Ms. Sharon's instructions. I suppose since you've set the example, I should join you."He then pulled one arm into his shirt, and pulled it off his body, then his other arm, revealing his dark, toned abs. Then he unbuttoned his jeans, unzipped his fly, and pulled both his jeans and his boxers off, freeing his large, limp cock. It was around 4 inches already."Much better," he said, smiling at me. "Now that we're both in our birthday suits, how about you lower your arms?"I considered it for a moment. He was just as naked as me, so I might as well. I shrugged, then lowered my arms, showing him my the rest of my naked body.He didn't try and hide his gaze as he looked at my tits and my bare cunt. I saw his dick grow in size a little. I smiled at that.We both took our seats, and a few seconds later, the next student arrived: Latoya. She walked to her seat, one row behind me. Seeing that we were both sitting there naked, she quickly removed her clothes as well. As she did, Filipe and I both watched intently.Latoya was wearing a white tank top, and very short jean shorts. Around the edges, I could also see the straps of a black bra and the hem of black underwear She started by grabbing the bottom of her shirt with both hands and pulling her tank top off. Then she unbuttoned and unzipped her shorts, revealing her long, dark, smooth legs. Then she reached behind her back, and undid her black bra, dropping it to the floor, which revealed her A-cup breasts, and dime-sized nipples. Finally, she grabbed the sides of her black panties, and pulled them down, showing us her bush, which was neatly trimmed into a thin vertical line. Now finished, she sat down behind me, crossing her arms and legs."So, what do you guys think of the class so far?" I asked, glancing around at each of them."Well, I'm enjoying the class so far" replied Filipe. "It's definitely been interesting so far, and I'm sure it will only get more interesting going forward. How about you?""Well, I certainly think it's an interesting class. When I signed up, I was not expecting something so; risqué. But, I think it's a very exciting class, and I'm determined to learn a lot. I've had a few sexual experiences, but it seems like every time I get into the bedroom with a guy, I don't have a clue what to do."Latoya laughed. "Yea, I feel the same way most times. I think this class will certainly help with that."As we talked, more people arrived. Each of them followed our example and stripped down completely naked. Most people were a bit hesitant, but if their logic was like mine, they figured that everyone else had seen it all before, and were eventually going to see it again. Also, it sounded like we would all become much more familiar with each other's bodies in later classes.Just at the start of class time, Ms. Sharon arrived. She also took her own instructions to heart, as she had stripped before arriving. The only thing she wore was a bag over her shoulder and a smile on her face.However, the more interesting part of her arrival was that she was followed by a familiar face: Nicole from the library!Nicole was dressed in a tight, dark grey t-shirt, with a sports brand logo across her mid-sized breasts. On bottom, she wore a pair of black, spandex yoga pants that clung to her body very tightly. With the two tight items, the curves of her slim body were very much apparent. So apparent, in fact, I saw a camel toe between her legs.Even with her very tight clothing that didn't hide the shape of her body whatsoever, she was still a lot more clothed than the rest of us. She seemed quite out of place."Hello class." said Ms. Sharon, as she placed her belongings on the desk. "I'd like to introduce a new student: Nicole Jackson. Yesterday, she witnessed a sample of your assignment, in the form of a nude Samantha in the library. After their parting, she took an interest in the class and reached out to me about joining the class. I happily added her to the roster."Now, since Nicole is joining us a bit late, she will not get the convenience of an easy first day. She will be required to strip completely, just like everyone else. She will also be required to do some catching up, and thus, she must perform yesterday's activity before next class period. I have already given her a random action and location."Now, Nicole, I will ask that you strip, then tell us a bit about yourself, including your virginity status.""Wow. Okay." replied Nicole, a bit shocked at the abruptness of the situation. She looked like she had just performed a cannonball into a lake on a January morning. "Well, I'm-" she started."Strip first, please.", interrupted Ms. Sharon."Alright." Nicole replied, and took a breath. "Here goes nothing."She placed her bag next to a nearby desk. She then grabbed the waist of her yoga pants, and slowly wiggled them down her legs, swaying her hips back and forth. Due to the tightness of the yoga pants, her panties came down as well. As she pushed them down, she bent over at the waist, allowing Ms. Sharon, who was behind her, to get an excellent view of Nicole's womanly parts.Once those were removed, Nicole kicked them over to her bag and started on her top half. She pulled one arm, then the other, out of the arm holes. Then she lifted the shirt over her head, and threw it over to her bag as well. Now that her shirt was gone, we could all see that she had one final tight piece of clothing remaining: a black and green sports bra. She quickly grabbed the bottom of the tight bra and pulled it over her ample breasts. She peeled it up over her head, and tossed it on top of her pile of clothes.I was wrong earlier, when I said she had mid-sized breasts. They only appeared mid-sized, due to the restrictiveness of the sports bra. Once that was removed, it was clear that she was easily in the top 3 in the class for breast size. I'm not sure if it was because of her large breasts or not, but her nipples appeared quite small in comparison."Well, now that I match everyone else, I'll introduce myself. As Ms. Sharon said, I'm Nicole. This is my third year as a student here. I'm from Florida. I was interested in this class, as it directly pertains to my major: Human Psychology. Finally, to answer Ms. Sharon's specific question: No, I am not a virgin."She then took her seat, crossing her legs, but leaving her large breasts for everyone to see.Ms. Sharon stepped back to the front. "Thank you very much Nicole. I'm glad you decided to join the class, and I'm sure you will gain a lot of useful information pertaining to your focus of study."Now, class, on to today's material. First, I wanted to review yesterday's activity, and get your feedback. So, what did you all think of it?"After a moment's silence, Nicole raised her hand and Ms. Sharon indicated she should talk. "Well, having not actually done the activity yet, I can't speak to that aspect of it yet, but I think I can give a unique perspective, as I was able to view the activity from the outside. I think it was a great activity that I'm sure got everyone out of their comfort zones. It speaks to the courage of everyone here that you were able to do that. Also, to be honest, it was very sexy. I can honestly say that seeing Samantha naked in such a public place as the library turned me on quite a bit. I can't wait to do the activity myself.""Thank you Nicole," said Ms. Sharon, when Nicole was finished. " That was indeed some useful insight. Anyone else?"After another moment with nobody responding, Ken spoke. "Well, I can definitely say it was embarrassing. I don't think I've ever been that embarrassed in my life. However, I can also say that I've never done something so exhilarating in my life. It felt amazing to walk around campus with everything on display. I felt like all the secrets of modern society were ripped from me, and I felt so free. Anyhow. That's my thoughts.""Excellent. Thank you Ken. Since nobody else seems willing to share their thoughts, I'll continue. And that's fine. I know it was a very personal thing that you all experienced, and it's perfectly acceptable that you don't want to share that with the rest of the class. However, I hope you were all honest with your write-ups. The only two people who will read those are yourselves and me. Speaking of the write-ups, everyone please take those out. I'll come around and collect them."After a minute or two, Ms. Sharon had all the papers collected into a pile, which she placed in her bag."Thank you everyone. Now that I've collected all of your first-hand accounts of your exhibitionist experiences, we will be moving on to our next topic. However, we are not done with exhibitionism in the context of this class. It will play a role in many topics we cover in the future, and it will be one of the options to be included in your final project."Now, as I've said, the goal of this class is to study human sexuality. Our first topic will build a foundation that we can build on for the rest of the semester. That topic is male and female human anatomies."In order to cover a real amount of detail for this topic, we will use live demonstrations. I would use myself as the female demonstration, but I wouldn't be able to properly point out each body part. So, I will need two volunteers; one male and one female."Nobody raised their hands. I, for one, didn't want to be singled out in front of the class for this demonstration. Ms. Sharon was being somewhat vague, but I guessed that whoever was being used for the demo would have their entire body closely examined by everyone in the class. I might have gained a certain level of comfort in my nudity around my fellow students, but this demo would take things to another level that I wasn't sure I could handle. My guess is that everyone else was having similar thoughts and feelings."Well, if nobody will volunteer, I'll have to pick two people at random. I figured this was going to be the case, so I've prepared two bags, male and female, containing each of your names. Each time we run into the case of no volunteers, I'll pull a names out of the bag. I will leave the names out until everyone from that gender has done a demo, then I will replace them. That will ensure that everyone gets a chance to participate, and that nobody gets singled out too much. Unfortunately, since there are less girls, that does mean you will each participate more often than the boys. Sorry, but there's not much I can do about that."So, I'll give everyone one more chance to volunteer on this activity. I will tell you that this is one of the more easy activities we will do this semester, so if you want to get your demo out of the way, feel free to volunteer."She waited another moment for anyone to raise their hand. Nobody did. "Alright. Then we'll leave it to chance. I'll pick one name from each bag today." She reached into the boy's bag first, and pulled out a small piece of paper, and read it aloud. "Filipe." She then reached into the girl's bag, and pulled out a second piece of paper, "Nicole."Wow, I thought, that sucks for Nicole. Not only is she stripping on her first day in the class, but she's also doing a demo."Okay, both of you come stand up here, please." They stood and walked to the front of the class, then turned and faced us, standing about two feet apart from each other. They both looked very nervous about what Ms. Sharon was about to ask them to do."Thank you. So, first we'll cover all of the non-sexual parts, although in some sense, you could argue that all body parts can be considered sexual, in one sense or another. Most of the body parts that we traditionally think of as non-sexual are the same between the male and female body. Actually, two thirds of the sexual parts are quite similar as well."So, we'll start at the head and move down the body from there. First, we have the hair. As you all know, on average, men tend to have shorter hair than women. Of course there are exceptions. Some men like to grow their hair out, and some women prefer to cut theirs short. But the social norm is that a girl's hair is long enough to come past her ears, and men's tend to max out at around the top of the ear."Next we have the face. Men tend to have sharper features, whereas women's faces tend to be more rounded. Another defining feature of the male face is facial hair. While women technically can grow facial hair, society has shunned it, so in most cases, it is considered a male feature. Women, on the other hand, tend to define their face via more artificial means, through make up, jewelry, and the like."Another important facial feature that we will touch on quite a bit in this class is the mouth. The reason that is important for this class is the fact that it's one of only three orifices that are generally used for penetration. In the case of penetration of the mouth, it is known as oral sex. We will cover oral sex in detail, a few classes from now."Moving on down, we have the torso." And so she went on, describing the similarities and differences between the male and female body, skipping over the "private" parts. As she described each part, she would point out where those parts were located on Filipe and Nicole's bodies.When she was finished describing the feet, and how they were a specific fetish for some people, she said, "That concludes the non-sexual parts. Now we'll move on to the more intimate parts of the body. Now, Filipe and Nicole, I understand that this part of the demonstration will probably make you uncomfortable, and that's understandable. However, this lesson crucial in order to eliminate any confusion that may otherwise occur in future classes."So, first, we have the chest. Both males and females have nipples." She pointed to each of Filipe's nipples, then to Nicole's. "The very center, raised area is the actual nipple. The surrounding dark area is called the areola. The area surrounding that on females also has a name: the breast."She pointed to the surrounding area of Nicole's breasts. Nicole blushed. "It also colloquially has a few other names, including: tits, boobs, and knockers."In most societies, the breasts are considered a 'private' area, and thus, they are kept covered." she said, as she air quoted the word private. "A woman's chest is also different from a man's, in that they produce milk. However, that only happens when the woman is pregnant, which Nicole here is not. So we obviously can't demo that."Moving on, we have the rear. Both of you, please turn around." They hesitated, but slowly did so, without question. She pointed to each of their asses. "The rear has many names, including butt, ass, bottom, glutes, and several others. It is very similar between males and females. They both have two cheeks on either side," she pointed to each of Filipe's cheeks, then each of Nicole's, "and a crack down the middle." She ran her finger down each of their cracks, causing them to shiver. "Now, the last part of the rear is the anus. However, with a simple glance at Nicole and Filipe's bottoms, you will not see the anus. Both of you, please spread your legs, and bend over the table in front of you. You can lean on it for support.""Ms. Sharon, do we really have to do this?" objected Nicole."Yes, Nicole, you do." replied Ms. Sharon, in a stern voice. "We must cover all the parts of the human anatomy, especially the sexual ones, and the anus is a very important part that we will be covering many times throughout the semester. If you can't handle this simple request, you will have difficulty with a lot more requests this semester. However, if you really feel uncomfortable, you can pass on this demo, but it will affect your participation grade."Nicole sighed. "No, that's alright. I'll bend over."Her and Filipe both spread their legs to shoulder width, and bent over at the waist, with their asses facing us. From this angle, I could see a good part of each of their asses, as well as Nicole's wet cunt, and Filipe's hardening cock hanging down, between their legs."Thank you. Now, we still can't really see the anus, so I'm going to have to spread your cheeks apart." She stepped next to Filipe, and spread his ass cheeks, revealing his tight ass hole. "There's the male." She released them, and moved over to Nicole. She grabbed each of her ass cheeks and spread them wide. "And here's the female. Nicole, can you pl

Read the full transcript here. How much progress has psychology made on the things that matter most to us? What are some psychological findings we feel pretty confident are true? How much consensus is there about the Big 5 personality traits? What are the points of disagreement about the Big 5? Are traits the best way of thinking about personality? How consistent are the Big 5 traits across cultures? How accurately do people self-report their own personality? When are psychophysical measures more or less useful than self-report measures? How much credence should we lend to the concept of cognitive dissonance? What's the next phase of improvement in the social sciences? Has replicability improved among the social sciences in, say, the last decade? What percent of papers in top journals contain fraud? What percent of papers in top journals are likely unreplicable? Is it possible to set the bar for publishing too high? How can universities maintain a high level of quality in their professors and researchers without pressuring them so hard to publish constantly? What is the simpliest valid analysis for a given study?Simine Vazire's research examines whether and how science self-corrects, focusing on psychology. She studies the research methods and practices used in psychology, as well as structural systems in science, such as peer review. She also examines whether we know ourselves, and where our blind spots are in our self-knowledge. She teaches research methods. She is editor-in-chief of Psychological Science (as of 1 Jan, 2024) and co-founder (with Brian Nosek) of the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science.

Michael's journey in dealmaking and M&A is nothing short of inspiring, and I can't wait for you to dive into the wealth of knowledge he shared. Here are some key takeaways and intriguing insights from our discussion:Key Lessons and Ideas:The Art of Dealmaking: Michael's career has been a masterclass in M&A, from his early days as an M&A lawyer and banker to his extensive experience in corporate development. He emphasizes the excitement and transformative power of acquiring established companies rather than building from scratch.Investment Philosophy: Trajectory Capital focuses on acquiring small, well-established businesses with solid products and customer bases. Michael believes in optimizing operations to unlock growth potential, transforming a $5 million revenue business into a $20-25 million one.Operational Optimization: Many businesses with revenues under $10 million haven't fully optimized their operations. Michael's strategy involves improving sales, customer success, and pricing to accelerate growth.Human Psychology in M&A: Michael shares a cautionary tale about the critical role of human factors in acquisitions. Miscommunication and cultural misalignment can lead to significant employee turnover and customer loss.Cultural Alignment: In people-centric businesses like B2B SaaS, aligning values and culture is crucial. Michael advocates for a bespoke approach to culture, respecting each company's unique environment while promoting transparency and shared incentives.Leadership and Retention: Effective leadership is about enabling others to excel. Michael emphasizes understanding personal motivations and providing competitive compensation, often in the form of equity, to attract and retain high-performance leaders.Technology and AI: Michael is excited about the potential of straightforward problem-solving tools that deliver real ROI. He advocates for a balanced approach to AI, integrating it with human expertise to enhance productivity and decision-making.Capitalism and Ethics: Michael believes capitalism drives economic success and innovation. He argues that while companies should maximize shareholder value, they must operate within a regulatory framework to prevent harmful practices.Curiosities and Anecdotes:The "Boat Car" Metaphor: Michael uses this metaphor to illustrate the challenges of merging different entities without careful consideration of their unique aspects.Personal Networks in Deal Sourcing: Michael and his team rely heavily on personal connections to communicate their vision and build trust with founders, investors, and corporate leaders.Pivotal Career Decisions: Michael highlights the importance of seeking opportunities for learning and growth early in one's career, emphasizing that choices made in your 20s can significantly impact long-term success.Self-Awareness and Fulfillment: Michael believes in prioritizing personal satisfaction alongside professional success, finding joy and fulfillment in work to achieve greater happiness.I hope these insights spark your curiosity and entice you to listen to the full episode. Michael's perspectives on M&A, investment strategies, and leadership are invaluable for anyone navigating the business landscape.

In this unique episode, Dr. Fred Gandolfo steps away from the usual format to share a recent patient interaction that highlights the complexities of finding the "root cause" of health problems during a crisis. Through an engaging analogy, Dr. Gandolfo illustrates the importance of addressing immediate health emergencies before diving into the root causes. Topics covered in this episode: The House Fire Analogy: Understanding the urgency of immediate health issues. Case Study: A 62-year-old woman with poorly controlled diabetes, high blood pressure, and GI symptoms. Root Cause vs. Immediate Treatment: Why focusing on the root cause during a crisis can be detrimental. Human Psychology and the Internet: How the quest for the "root cause" may be manipulated more by "influencers" on the internet and less by reality. Practical Advice: Addressing immediate health concerns and planning for long-term solutions rather that focusing mainly on a theoretical root cause.  Be sure to subscribe to The Real GI Doc Show for more insights, and reach out with your questions on social media @realgidoc or leave an audio question for Dr. Gandolfo here.

Perception vs. perspective has either ended businesses before they got off the ground or saved businesses with a phenomenal pivot. Many entrepreneurs, startups, business leaders, marketers, and go-to-market specialists need to acknowledge that their perception of themselves, value, product, service, or interpretation of the marketplace can be flawed, narrow-minded, or completely inaccurate. To combat this, you must embrace gaining a better perspective by exploring other possibilities of the source of truth beyond what you see, know, can identify, or believe at times.The more value threads you create in the minds and literal usability of the consumer, the stronger the bonds, and the higher the probability of becoming a buyer, an advocate, a connection conductor, and part of an engaging community of support, referrals, and brand resonance. The question is, how do you create and maintain value threads effectively? Beyond The Episode Gems:Discover All Podcasts On The HubSpot Podcast NetworkGet The New Book "Influencer Marketing"Get Discount Off Riverside & Try For Free  #####Support The Podcast & Connect With Troy: • Rate & Review iDigress: iDigress.fm/Reviews•  Follow Troy's LinkedIn @FindTroy• Get Strategy Solutions & Services: FindTroy.com•  Buy Troy's Book, Strategize Up: StrategizeUpBook.com•  Follow Troy's Instagram @FindTroy

In this episode of The Brainy Business podcast, host Melina Palmer delves into the concept of the IKEA effect, highlighting its influence on consumer behavior and business strategies. Drawing from real-life examples, Palmer emphasizes the significance of recognizing and celebrating employees' contributions in fostering a culture of innovation and engagement. By involving employees in development and change initiatives, businesses can tap into the innate need for ownership and connection.  The episode also underscores the importance of understanding human psychology and behavior as crucial elements in driving successful business outcomes. With valuable insights into leveraging the IKEA effect to optimize business strategies and enhance customer connections, the episode is a must-listen for business leaders and managers seeking to increase employee engagement and innovation. In this episode: Understand the psychological impact of the IKEA effect on consumer behavior and decision-making processes. Leverage consumer effort and engagement to drive business success. Explore the impact of perceived value on pricing strategies and consumer perception. Increase employee engagement and intrinsic motivation for enhanced productivity and innovation. Harness human psychology to drive business growth and success. Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Introduction Melina introduces the concept of the Ikea effect and its relevance in understanding consumer behavior. She explains how people value items they have built themselves more than those built by others. 00:03:43 - Understanding the Ikea Effect Melina delves into the difference between the Ikea effect and the endowment effect. She discusses studies on origami building and how individuals place higher value on their own creations, regardless of expertise. 00:09:15 - The Effort Heuristic The episode explores the concept of the effort heuristic, where people associate effort with quality, even when they are not the ones putting in the effort. Examples from research studies on art and poetry illustrate this phenomenon. 00:13:26 - Ambiguity and Effort Perception Melina discusses how perceived effort influences the valuation of ambiguous quality. Studies on medieval suits of armor reveal how the perception of effort impacts the perceived quality and value of an item, even when its quality is not easily determined. 00:16:35 - The Effort Heuristic and the IKEA Effect The discussion explores the relationship between the effort heuristic and the IKEA effect, highlighting how people value things higher when they put effort into them. 00:18:04 - Billing by the Hour The conversation delves into the challenges of billing by the hour and how it may reduce the perceived effort and value of a project, leading to misconceptions about the time and expertise required. 00:19:52 - Valuing Time and Talent The story of the engineer's minimal intervention with the cruise ship's engine illustrates the hidden time and talent that goes into certain tasks, emphasizing the need to recognize and justify the value of expertise and effort. 00:22:26 - Effort and Value Perception The discussion explores the concept of effort and value perception, citing examples of how human behavior and preferences are influenced by the perceived level of effort required for a task or product, such as with instant cake mix and build-a-bear workshops. 00:26:39 - Leveraging the IKEA Effect The conversation emphasizes the potential uses of the IKEA effect in product businesses, change management, and team dynamics, highlighting the importance of providing guidance and opportunities for creative input to enhance customer satisfaction and value perception. 00:31:45 - The Importance of Employee Feedback and Recognition Employee feedback and recognition play a crucial role in motivating employees. Celebrating employees' ideas, aligning incentives, and acknowledging their contributions can foster a culture of change and increase employee buy-in. 00:32:20 - The Power of Incentives and Social Proof Aligning incentives with the Ikea effect and using social proof can encourage employees to actively participate in change initiatives. Monetary incentives are not as effective as public recognition and acknowledgment. 00:33:19 - The Psychological Impact of the Ikea Effect The Ikea effect goes beyond marketing and change initiatives. It reflects human nature and the desire to feel connected and invested. Involving customers and employees in the creation and development process can lead to a strong sense of ownership. 00:34:09 - Human Behavior in the Age of AI Despite the increasing integration of AI and machine learning, human behavior remains essential. Businesses need to tap into the Ikea effect and other psychological concepts to enhance effectiveness and foster a sense of connection and investment. 00:35:25 -  Conclusion Melina's top insights from the conversation.

Gurwinder Bhogal is a programmer and a writer. Gurwinder is one of my favourite Twitter follows. He's written yet another megathread exploring human nature, cognitive biases, mental models, status games, crowd behaviour and social media. It's fantastic, and today we go through some of my favourites. Expect to learn whether cynical people are actually smarter, why people tend to find uncertain outcomes so intolerable, why people would rather lie than say what they really think, whether people would rather be hated than unknown, why appearing to do good has become more important than actually doing good and much more...

A Note from James: A fascinating guy, Chris Anderson has run the TED Talks for over 20 years, and he's the author of the new book, "Infectious Generosity". We talk all about the benefits of generosity - not only for the entire world but for you, the generous individual - and all of his adventures along the way with TED. Episode Description: In this engrossing conversation, TED curator Chris Anderson speaks about his new book, 'Infectious Generosity', and explains how it reframes generosity as a beautiful self-fueling cycle that can do good for the world in the connected age. Anderson shares insights about human psychology, the new science on generosity, and the psychological benefits of being generous. He draws upon personal experiences and shares inspiring stories of ordinary individuals displaying extraordinary generosity. He also presents a novel concept of forming 'generosity groups', highlighting how collective efforts can enable community development and create a global impact. The conversation also delves into the power of storytelling, the true significance of community, and how we can learn from the generosity showcased in various 'Blue Zones' around the world.Notable Topics: the contagious nature of generosity, shifting trends on the internet towards positivity, the link between generosity and longevity, and the idea of 'group efforts' generating significant community change.Episode Timeline (timestamps may not account for ads):00:00:00 Introduction and Welcoming Chris Anderson00:01:43 Discussing the Impact of TED Talks00:02:50 Exploring the Concept of Infectious Generosity00:03:15 The Connection Between Gratitude and Generosity00:04:59 The Role of Generosity in Happiness00:06:01 The Power of Generosity in Changing One's Perspective00:08:05 Discussing the Fear of Innovation00:09:07 The Need to Take Back the Internet00:11:59 The Shift from Social Networking to Social Media00:12:34 The Power of Generosity in Building Brands00:17:32 The Impact of Generosity on Reputation00:20:50 The Role of Generosity in Viral Content00:23:28 The Potential of Generosity in Changing Internet Culture00:24:09 Exploring Unique Ways to Practice Generosity00:32:02 The Power of Unreported Stories00:32:55 The Virality of Good News00:33:44 The Impact of Negativity00:34:33 Understanding Our Instincts00:34:55 The Influence of Media00:35:27 The Slow Progress of Good Things00:37:07 The Power of Positive Stories00:37:48 The Shift Towards Good News00:38:20 The Challenge of Changing Media Trends00:38:59 The Potential of Positive Media00:40:38 The Impact of Personal Stories00:42:50 The Power of Generosity00:44:54 The Infectious Nature of Generosity00:48:42 The Role of Community in Generosity00:55:39 The Potential of Local Initiatives01:02:13 The Future of Infectious Generosity ------------What do YOU think of the show?
