Podcasts about Relevance

In this episode of the Small Business PR Podcast, I sit down with Kim Behzadi, founder of Read It & Eat—a purpose-driven food and book subscription box that fights hunger with every purchase.Launched from her bedroom after losing her job during the pandemic, Kim bootstrapped her business with no investors, no PR background, and no big-name endorsements. Today, she's been featured in Women's Day, local magazines, and podcasts—without spending thousands on PR retainers or flooding the media with free samples.If you're a product-based founder who wants consistent, cost-free press, this episode is your blueprint.How Kim Built a PR System That Delivers Year-Round FeaturesAfter joining the PR Starter Pack, Kim learned to:Pitch with purpose, not desperationBuild relationships with journalists through LinkedIn, Instagram, and even TwitterAdapt pitches for national vs. local media to maximize relevancePlant PR “seeds” months in advance to secure Q4 gift guide placementsHer Women's Day feature led to:A 40% increase in website trafficLocal partnerships like a Buffalo book club and tea shop collaborationInvitations to vend at book fairs and community eventsA direct connection with a Harlequin author for a special edition boxWhy Serving (Not Selling) Gets You FeaturedKim stopped leading with “Here's my product” and started pitching with “Here's a story your audience will love.” This value-first approach helped her:Land coverage without sending dozens of samplesGet invited to collaborate with brands and authors she once thought were “out of reach”Build a press system she can run in just two dedicated nights per weekKim's PR Tools & StrategiesLinkedIn & Instagram to find and connect with journalistsEmail + social media follow-ups to stay top-of-mind without spammingSeasonal pitching calendar to target: Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Back-to-School, Holidays, and themed brand roundupsThe CPR Method (Credibility, Point of View, Relevance) to craft irresistible pitchesCommon PR Mistakes Kim AvoidedOverspending on product samples before confirming interestWaiting for the “perfect” moment to start pitchingRelying solely on social media for visibilityFinal TakeawayYou don't need an expensive PR firm—or a massive marketing budget—to land in national gift guides. What you do need is: ✅ A clear, value-driven message ✅ A repeatable system ✅ The courage to hit “send”If Kim can build Read It & Eat from her bedroom and land Women's Day, so can you.

Star Wars is in a strange place right now. Many movies have been abandoned, several TV shows have ended or been canceled, and it's unclear how the projects on the horizon will mesh together. By all accounts, Lucasfilm doesn't have an overarching vision for the franchise. But does it need one? In this episode, Eric's old friend Justin Bolger joins him and Grace to discuss the direction of the Star Wars franchise and whether it needs a storytelling czar. We also discuss the way the franchise feels now compared to its pre-Disney heyday, the tradeoffs of socially relevant storytelling, and whether stories with more synergy would exacerbate audiences' “Star Wars fatigue.” Plus, Grace and Justin bond over their favorite underappreciated TV shows.

In this week's Five Things Friday UK Edition, Alex and Simone break down the retail trends you can't afford to ignore.

With insights rooted in neuroscience, behavior, and personal reflection, she explores how even the smallest acts of love can rewire our nervous systems, shift relationships, and lead to true healing.In this episode, you'll learn:How fear disguises itself as discipline, duty, or striving and how to recognize the differenceWhy feedback without connection triggers shutdown and how to deliver it with safetyThe surprising power of small, love-driven choices in creating lasting transformationThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(00:45) Client's assignment and initial reactions(04:38) Love vs. fear(07:24) The impact of feedback at work(12:22) Marriage and relationship insights(14:56) Balancing work and creativity(18:12) Caring for aging parents(20:03) Understanding true healingConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/

It's a bit like being highly allergic to poison ivy. We complain about it, but then intentionally roll around in that patch out back.

http://www.sherylkline.com/blogIn the latest Fearless Female Leadership interview, I had the privilege of speaking with Veena Joji, Chief Human Resource Officer of Apexon, about what it truly takes to stay relevant in today's ever-evolving business climate. Veena brings a deeply thoughtful and people-first approach to leadership, grounded in inclusion, continuous learning, and courage.Veena's passion for inclusive leadership was sparked during her childhood, attending an international school where diversity was a lived experience, not a buzzword. That early exposure to belonging shaped her view that inclusion isn't just a “nice to have”—it's essential to business success and human transformation.Now leading a global HR organization, Veena shared powerful, actionable strategies for emerging leaders, senior executives, and allies alike to remain not only visible but valuable in a fast-changing world. Her core message? Staying relevant is an intentional, ongoing practice of learning, connecting, and showing up fully.Key take-aways from the interview:0:01:22 – Veena's experience growing up in an international school shaped her lifelong belief in inclusion as a way of being—not just an initiative.0:04:28 – Relevance starts with cultivating a learning mindset and shifting from one-off training to personalized, on-demand development.0:05:40 – Building executive presence and confidence—especially for women—must be intentional and supported by targeted development programs.0:06:55 – Inclusion and purpose aren't soft skills—they're embedded in Apexon's performance metrics and leadership values.0:07:49 – Emerging leaders must believe in what they bring to the table and own their space in the room.0:09:45 – A common mistake: heads down doing great work, but forgetting to look up and speak out—visibility matters.0:14:02 – Allies must do more than open doors; they must actively speak up, sponsor, and help others earn their seat at the table.0:20:35 – Veena's top advice: Stay curious. Keep learning. Be vulnerable. Own your journey—and never stop asking for opportunities.If you're interested in being featured on the Fearless Female Leadership podcast, or you're a leader looking to gain clarity on ‘what's next', how to build more cohesive and high-performing teams, and lead with greater confidence and influence, let's have a confidential conversation. http://www.sherylkline.com/meetingCheering you on always!– Sheryl

The current episode of The Whole Church Podcast delves into the pressing concern articulated by Dr. Peter Beck regarding the challenges faced by pastors today, particularly in light of the significant influence of news media on congregants compared to their limited engagement within church settings. Our host, Joshua Noel, alongside esteemed guests Nathan Gilmour, Joe Dea, and Matthew Thrift, explores the implications of this disparity and seeks to identify potential solutions through enhanced community engagement and effective time management within church activities. The discussion emphasizes the necessity for churches to adapt to the evolving cultural landscape, thereby fostering a more profound sense of identity and belonging among congregants. By examining the role of small groups, discipleship, and creative communication methods, we aim to equip church leaders with strategies to nurture their communities effectively. Ultimately, the episode aspires to offer actionable insights that can lead to revitalized connections within the church, empowering congregants to engage meaningfully with both scripture and the world around them.The discourse within this Round Table episode of The Whole Church Podcast engages with the pressing issue of the contemporary church's struggle to maintain relevance amidst the pervasive influence of news media on congregants. Drawing on insights from the previous discussion led by Dr. Peter Beck, the panel, including host Joshua Noel and guests Nathan Gilmour, Joe Dea, and Matthew Thrift, delves into the complexities of pastoral ministry in an age where laypeople are inundated with media narratives that often overshadow the teachings of the church. The panelists reflect on the implications of this dynamic, exploring the necessity for churches to cultivate a more substantial community identity that resonates with the realities of congregants' lives. They propose that the church must not only compete with media consumption but also engage in meaningful dialogue that prioritizes the spiritual and communal needs of its members. This conversation challenges traditional methods of church engagement, advocating for a shift towards a more integrated and participatory model of discipleship that fosters genuine relationships and collective spiritual growth.Takeaways: The modern pastor faces significant challenges as congregants are increasingly influenced by media rather than the church, leading to a fragmented understanding of faith. A shift towards prioritizing small groups and community engagement may foster deeper discipleship and retention within the church. Effective time management in church settings is crucial for seizing meaningful moments for ministry and engagement with congregants. The church must embrace a dialogical approach to scripture interpretation, allowing laity to engage actively with their faith and the world. Creativity in communication methods is essential for the church to remain relevant in a media-saturated environment, encouraging innovative ways to connect with congregants. Addressing contemporary issues within sermons, rather than relying solely on historical texts, can help bridge the gap between faith and everyday life. .Check out all of the other shows in the Anazao Podcast Network:https://anazao-ministries.captivate.fm.Check out our last Round Table episode where Dr Beck first raised today's topic:https://the-whole-church-podcast.captivate.fm/episode/reflections-on-the-whole-church-job-fair-a-round-table-discussion/.Listen to Joe on BuddyWalk for Jesus:

We've covered the collapse of entry-level roles and the hollowing out of mid-level staff. Now, we confront what's happening at the top—where seasoned partners and firm leaders are watching their influence erode.Rob explores why senior professionals are losing visibility and voice in a fast-moving profession. From AI-driven transformation to younger staff expectations, from private equity shakeups to non-accountants running firms, the rules of leadership are changing. And the old safety net of tenure and equity is no longer enough.If you're a senior leader wondering why you feel out of the loop—or if you manage one—you need to hear this.**Key Takeaways:**➜ 75% of CPAs are retiring or near-retirement age➜ PE-backed firms demand speed, scale and accountability➜ Tenure and equity no longer protect underperformance➜ Clients want commercial insight, not old-school prestige➜ Younger staff want mentorship, not hierarchy➜ Relevance has to be earned, even at the top➜ Leaders must update, reframe and re-engage to stay visible**Killer Quotes:**"You're not retired. You're just being left out.""Private equity doesn't care how long you've been at the firm. They care if you're helping it win.""The old idea that partner meant untouchable is dead.""Influence doesn't disappear. It drifts. You have to go and bring it back.""Clients want foresight, not a recap of last quarter.""If you haven't updated your leadership style in five years, the market already moved past you.""Your experience is still powerful.

Twitter/X Space 19 July 2025In this episode, I explore the essence of philosophy and its relevance today, reflecting on my 45-year journey. We discuss the importance of humility in philosophical discourse, inspired by Socrates' acknowledgment of ignorance, and critique the rush to judgment among "midwits." I examine moral grounding for atheists and the nature of ethics without divine justification, while engaging with diverse perspectives on morality. As we address the impact of 21st-century technology on human intimacy, I emphasize the need for self-criticism and rational discourse to deepen our understanding of morality.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

While openness can build trust, there's a fine line between “vulnerable” and “uh-oh.” Brené Brown, the goddess, says oversharing isn't true vulnerability—it can actually result in disconnection, distrust, and disengagement. So why do we overshare at work? Sometimes it is because we want to feel seen. Without our usual support systems—family, friends, faith, community—we sometimes turn our coworkers into unwilling therapists. Stress is another biggie – and can cause all of us to vent from time to time. We mistake emotional outbursts for “processing.” Sometimes we don't realize we've gone too far.   Sometimes we misread culture.  Social media has created norms of sharing that are in many cases not appropriate in the workplace. Oversharing risks include: damaged credibility; gossip fuel, confused boundaries and just uncomfortable moments, which lead to uncomfortable relationships. There is some clear guidance here - graphic health details, romantic chaos, money problems, coworker critiques, political or religious rants, constant negativity, and good old-fashioned trauma-dumping are no-gos.  Save that for your best friend. But here's the nuance: not all sharing is bad.  Strategic vulnerability builds trust when we consider relevance, timing, and audience. Saying “I'm overwhelmed” during a tough week = helpful. Saying “my child was arrested this week and is in jail” in the middle of the Monday morning staff meeting = probably nope.  Telling your supervisor – in private – or a trusted coworker, probably yes.  Your child's arrest is not relevant to the Monday meeting, but it could very well be relevant to your performance and the need for time off so talking with your boss is appropriate because it is relevant and just with your boss at a time which of course you have confirmed is convenient.  Relevance.  Timing.  Audience. Boundaries aren't walls—they're fences with gates. Absolutely we should open those gates, but wisely.

This week I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall to unpack how our brains handle ambiguity, why fear of making mistakes can keep us stuck, and how intolerance of uncertainty feeds into hoarding behaviours. We break down practical ways to build up your tolerance for not knowing and share some strategies that might actually make a difference. Uncertainty and Its Challenges Definition and context of uncertainty Evolutionary reasons for discomfort with uncertainty (Selfish Brain Theory) Contrast between historical resource scarcity and modern abundance Our minds' outdated ways of managing uncertainty Cognitive Closure What is cognitive closure? Difference between cognitive closure (psychological need for definite answers) and “closure” in pop culture (emotional resolution) How it relates to need for certainty in present/future, not just past events The creation of cognitive closure measurement scales by researchers Factors influencing need for cognitive closure: Personality traits: Conscientiousness, neuroticism (now called emotionality), openness to experience, extroversion Trauma history and its effects on the nervous system Neurodivergence (with emphasis on autism and “sticky thinking”) Combination of personality, trauma, and neurodivergence Intolerance of Uncertainty Psychological definition of intolerance of uncertainty Negative cognitive bias: How it affects perception and response Manifestations in people experiencing uncertainty as distress Its direct relevance to hoarding behaviours The Link Between Hoarding Disorder and Intolerance of Uncertainty Research findings: intolerance of uncertainty as a predictor of hoarding symptom severity Usefulness in early intervention strategies intolerance of uncertainty as a transdiagnostic factor (across anxiety, some depression, and other mental health conditions) How heightened anxiety sensitivity in hoarding perpetuates avoidance Experiential avoidance in hoarding (saving and acquiring behaviours) Connection between maladaptive behaviours and intolerance of uncertainty Fear of Making Mistakes and Perfectionism Common fears of mistakes in hoarding (disposing, acquiring, putting things away) Perfectionism's role (fear of failure, not wasting) All-or-nothing thinking and rigid decision-making rules Paralysing effect of avoidance due to fear of mistakes Not making a decision as a potential mistake itself Interaction and reinforcement between perfectionism and intolerance of uncertainty Comorbidity and Severity Research on multiple diagnoses: More than half of psychiatric patients have more than one diagnosis Diagnostic challenges and overlapping criteria How comorbidity compounds issues: More symptoms and more complexity Higher intolerance of uncertainty linked with more severe hoarding, especially when other conditions are present Impact on treatment difficulty intolerance of uncertainty's Impact on Acquiring and Discarding Behaviours How acquiring reduces fear of missing out and future needs Difficulty discarding as protection against future regret Shame around mistake-making Common inner questions: Future use, responsibility, relationships More complexity leading to more avoidance Nuances in intolerance of uncertainty and Hoarding Study on sub-factors of uncertainty: Factor 1: Negative self-referential implications (linked to hoarding severity) Factor 2: Perception of uncertainty as unfair (not linked) Internal vs. external perspectives on uncertainty Relevance of anxiety-driven self-criticism Changing Relationship to Uncertainty: Curiosity and Reframing Rilke's quote on “loving the questions” Transforming approach from fear to curiosity Curiosity as a therapeutic tool Creativity in imagining alternatives and solutions Relevance of loss aversion and cognitive biases Modern Life and Uncertainty Intolerance Research linking increased use of technology (instant answers) to rising intolerance of uncertainty Smartphone/information overload and decreased tolerance “muscle” Relevance to hoarding (desire for backups, information saving) Example: IMDb, screenshots, saving digital info Treatment Strategies Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) effects on intolerance of uncertainty in anxiety Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and exposure-based methods: Pros and cons Importance of a therapist experienced in error-related distress and uncertainty Key skills: Observing distress, sitting with uncomfortable feelings, gradual exposure Self-help approaches: Reframing mistakes as learning Practicing self-compassion Values-based decision-making Systematic exposure to small errors Gradually breaking rigid rules (e.g., waste, tidiness) Recognising individual differences and seeking appropriate support Embracing Mistakes and Humanity Learning from therapist/client anecdotes Cultural expectations around perfectionism vs. real human messiness How mistakes can be positive or even entertaining Letting go of the need for perfection The Four Cs for Managing Uncertainty From Elizabeth Weingarten: Curiosity, Conversation, Community, Commitment How to foster each: Curiosity: Approach with questions and exploration Conversation: Discuss uncertainties with trusted people Community: Build social support Commitment: Dedication to exploring questions and knowing when to let go Links Hillman, S.

In this episode of Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony delve into Martin Luther's concept of the Theology of the Cross, a foundational idea in Reformation theology. Rooted in the Heidelberg Disputation of 1518, this theological framework challenges believers to see God's power and purpose in human suffering and weakness. The hosts explore how the cross is the ultimate revelation of God's nature, subverting traditional human expectations of power and glory. The discussion highlights the stark contrast between the Theology of the Cross and what Luther termed the Theology of Glory. The former calls Christians to understand God's work through suffering and apparent defeat, as exemplified in Christ's crucifixion. Jesse and Tony argue that this paradigm is not only essential for understanding the gospel but also deeply relevant to the modern Christian experience, especially in a culture increasingly drawn to triumphalism and worldly notions of success. This episode is a call to reflect on how suffering shapes the Christian life. The hosts explore how trials and hardships are not merely obstacles but divinely ordained means of sanctification. They underscore the importance of embracing weakness as a pathway to experiencing God's strength and grace, offering both theological depth and practical encouragement for listeners facing difficulties. Key Points: The Theology of the Cross Explained: Luther's concept emphasizes that God's power is revealed through weakness, and His blessings often come disguised as suffering. The cross is central to understanding this paradoxical truth. Relevance for Modern Christians: The episode critiques contemporary triumphalism and discusses how cultural notions of power and success can distort biblical theology. The Theology of the Cross serves as a corrective, calling believers to embrace humility and dependence on God. Suffering as a Means of Sanctification: Jesse and Tony explore how trials are not signs of God's absence but opportunities for spiritual growth and deeper communion with Christ, who himself suffered for humanity. Luther's Historical Context: The discussion provides background on the Heidelberg Disputation and how it laid the groundwork for Protestant theology, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between human merit and divine grace. Questions for Reflection: How does the Theology of the Cross challenge your understanding of God's power and blessings? In what ways have you seen God use suffering in your life to draw you closer to Him? How can Christians balance engagement with cultural and political movements while maintaining a biblical perspective on weakness and humility? What practical steps can you take to embrace suffering as a means of sanctification without minimizing its difficulty?

Matty A. retells the ancient Sword of Damocles parable—a cautionary tale about the hidden risks, pressures, and responsibilities that come with power. He draws parallels between this story and today's world of investing and entrepreneurship, where success can feel glamorous but often carries unseen danger over your head.Ancient Story RecapDamocles, a courtier, envies the life of King Dionysius and is offered to switch roles for a day.While enjoying his new status, Damocles discovers a sword hanging by a single hair above his throne—illustrating that prestige often conceals constant peril.He quickly steps down, realizing that what appeared desirable from afar held immense hidden burden.Core LessonsPrestige comes with peril: The more power and success you pursue, the greater the hidden risks you inherit.Appreciation vs. reality: Outsiders see only the shine; insiders bear unrelenting stress and threat.Balanced ambition: True elite success demands awareness and acceptance of continuous pressure, not blind pursuit.Relevance to Investors & EntrepreneursReal estate risks: Each opportunity—whether CRE, syndication deals, or entrepreneurial ventures—hides potential "swords" like financing pitfalls, market shifts, and regulatory hurdles.Leadership burden: Scaling a business or leading teams brings responsibility, scrutiny, and complex decision-making that can feel like a sword hanging overhead.Strategic resilience: Success requires building both mental and financial safeguards—reserve funds, legal structures, and support systems—to withstand those pressures.Tools & Next StepsRisk Audit: Identify your personal and investment-related “swords”—the threats only you can see.Protective Measures: Build buffer systems—insurance, contingencies, advisors—to neutralize risk.Sustainable Success Planning: Create a roadmap that aligns your ambition with your capacity, ensuring growth without collapse.Key TakeawayElite success isn't just about climbing higher—it's about maintaining balance while a metaphorical sword lies overhead. Let the parable of Damocles remind you: True leadership and wealth come not from avoiding pressure, but from preparing to hold your ground under it.Episode Sponsored By:Discover Financial Millionaire Mindcast Shop: Buy the Rich Life Planner and Get the Wealth-Building Bundle for FREE!

“Great leadership isn't about being right, it's about being open and helpful.” In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession discusses how belief, trust, and data interact to shape our leadership and why the order in which we use them matters. She explains how belief lives in the thinking brain, trust is felt through the body's nervous system, and data, while helpful, is incomplete without human connection and context. Rebecca offers a grounded approach to leadership that starts with regulating your own nervous system, questioning what you believe to be true, and using data to invite real conversation instead of reinforcing assumptions.In this episode, you'll learn:Why trust begins with nervous system regulation, not logicHow unchecked beliefs can become counterfeit truthsWhy data should open the door to conversation, not close itThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(02:54) Belief: the foundation of leadership(05:05) Trust: the nervous system's role(07:46) Data: the incomplete story(10:38) Integrating belief, trust, and data(12:35) Practical steps for effective leadership(22:14) Building new patterns and trustConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/

Forget everything you knew about hiring.  That market died in 2021 and left no forwarding address. What replaced it?  A system where 75% of executive positions fill before posting.  Where referrals convert 900% better than applications.  Where your LinkedIn profile matters more than your résumé. This isn't temporary turbulence—it's permanent infrastructure.  Cost of nostalgia: $80K per quarter of missed compensation. In this solo episode, Loren breaks down the 3 biggest myths executives over 40 are still clinging onto— and the new framework for getting hired before jobs are even posted. What the best candidates are doing differently in a slow market Why “just applying more” is the worst strategy you can use How to stop tweaking your résumé and start showing up where it matters The 3 Rs of career rewiring: Relationships. Relevance. Reskilling. Plus Loren also shares a real client story from a client who had zero digital footprint and hadn't job searched in 14 years..  And how she went from an outdated LinkedIn profile… To a booked speaker on AI in HR… To being asked to be the CEO of an HR AI Startup.  The market moved.

In this thought-provoking episode, Greg Verdino and Geoff Livingston sit down with media ecologist, leadership expert, and author Jack Myers for a wide-ranging conversation on the intersection of AI, leadership, creativity, and Taoist philosophy. Drawing on insights from his latest book, The Tao of Leadership, Jack shares why 3,000-year-old Taoist wisdom might be the perfect guide for navigating today's era of AI and exponential technological change. The conversation explores how principles like “leading by following” and “fusion flow” can help leaders move more fluidly through uncertainty, disruption, and accelerated innovation. Rather than building slow, rigid bridges to a future that keeps shifting, Jack advocates for fast-moving portals that help teams adapt in real time, led not just by technology but by deeply human values. Jack, Greg and Geoff also unpack the creative implications of AI, arguing that the real power lies not in replacement but in remix: combining machine-generated suggestions with human intuition, emotional nuance, and originality. Along the way, they touch on education, culture, risk-taking, and what it takes to lead through fear, data deluge, and systemic stagnation. With stories drawn from marketing, media, music, and even (wait for it…) Second Life, this episode offers a human-centered lens on a fast-evolving future and invites listeners to rethink not just how we work but how we imagine what's possible.

Understanding your audience's psychology is the key to crafting communication that resonates.Persuading others isn't about magic spells or mind-reading tricks. According to Emily Falk, the real secret is simpler: know what your audience finds relevant, and you'll be able to craft a message that resonates.Falk is a professor of communication, psychology, and marketing at the University of Pennsylvania, Vice Dean of the Annenberg School of Communication, and director of the Communication Neuroscience Lab. In her book What We Value: The Neuroscience of Choice and Change, she reveals that our brains have what she calls a "social relevance system" — our ability to understand what other people are thinking and feeling. "I use social relevance as this kind of catchall for these thoughts about what other people are thinking and feeling, which also helps us predict what they're gonna do and how we might communicate successfully with them," she explains.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Falk and host Matt Abrahams explore how to put this insight into practice, from the power of storytelling to leveraging "neural synchrony" to create shared understanding. Whether you're motivating a team or influencing a customer, Falk offers science-backed strategies for tapping into your audience's psychology and communicating with relevance.Episode Reference Links:Emily FalkEmily's Book: What We ValueEp.39 Brains Love Stories: How Leveraging Neuroscience Can Capture People's EmotionsEp.188 Mind Reading 101: To Know What Your Audience Thinks, Just Ask  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:47) - Neuroscience & Behavior Prediction (04:05) - Brain Systems in Persuasion (05:28) - Tailoring Messages for Impact (08:06) - Psychological Closeness & Relevance (10:34) - Power of Storytelling (13:48) - Neural Synchrony & Shared Meaning (15:33) - Better Conversations Through Sync (20:11) - Rapid-Fire Q&A with Emily Falk (24:23) - Conclusion  ********This Episode is brought to you by Strawberry.me.
