What began as a focus on Wall Street corruption has expanded to expose political, media, and social media grifters on both the right and left. Markowski warns that many influencers today serve only their personal interests, not the nation's wellbeing. Drawing on Proverbs, he highlights the timeless dangers of pride, deceit, and discord, and stresses that the fight for truth and integrity matters for future generations. He calls for vigilance against those who profit from division and falsehood. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Meet Jesse Kay, the Founder and CEO of Vyber Media. His performance marketing agency focuses squarely on helping brands achieve scalable, data-driven growth that genuinely connects with the Gen Z audience. What began as a side project when Jesse was just 17 years old quickly blossomed. Recognizing the venture's potential, he made the significant decision to leave a role at Goldman Sachs and pour all his energy into building Vyber Media. Today, Vyber Media collaborates with a wide spectrum of companies, ranging from ambitious high-growth startups to established Fortune 500 giants. The agency utilizes a strategic mix of email, SMS, paid marketing, and targeted media strategies to drive high-margin revenue growth and elevate brand engagement across diverse industries. Beyond the agency world, Jesse is no stranger to the microphone. He's hosted a podcast for nearly a decade, featuring insightful interviews with high-profile guests like Jack Dorsey, Mark Cuban, Gary Vaynerchuk, Leslie Berland, and Candace Parker, delving into their journeys and expertise. Jesse's drive also extends to making a difference. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he co-founded the Makin' Lemonade Fund. This initiative successfully mobilized over 400 students, impressively raising $130,000 in only 45 days to support vital nonprofit organizations during a critical time. His work and perspectives have garnered significant attention, with features in prestigious outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, ESPN, Adobe, Fast Company, Inc., Business Insider, and an appearance on the Dr. Phil Show. Jesse's approach is partly shaped by his education at Cornell University, where he studied Persuasion and Social Influence. This academic background provides a unique lens through which he views marketing and entrepreneurship, particularly in understanding the nuances of connecting with younger generations. Vyber Media was founded to redefine performance marketing, rooted in ambition, digital understanding, and delivering impactful results. For More Info: https://www.vybermedia.com/

How to craft communication that your audience will remember.Why do some messages stick, while others go in one ear and out the other? When it comes to crafting memorable communication, Ada Aka says not all verbiage is created equal. “Certain words are intrinsically more memorable than others,” says Aka, an assistant professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business. In her research of consumer behavior and decision-making, she's uncovered how language shapes not just our perception of the world, “but how the world stays with us over time." From concrete terms to emotionally charged ones, certain words have more staying power than others, and to communicators who want to capture audiences (and keep them), she says, “Carefully chosen words, they're going to be taking the attention.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Aka joins Matt Abrahams to explore the science of memorable communication. From creating brand slogans that stick to choosing words that align with your message, she reveals how to create communication that won't be forgotten.Episode Reference Links:Ada AkaEp.80 Magic Words: Change What You Say to Inspire and Influence Others 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 (02:05) - The Power of Words in Memory (03:45) - What Makes Words Memorable?

We live happier, healthier, and longer lives when we feel deeply connected to other people. And while we might experience and express this need in different ways, the need for social connection is really universal. It's so fundamental that we have built-in biological mechanisms to encourage it. When we're socially isolated, our brain triggers cravings for human contact, in much the same way that it triggers cravings for food after a few hours of not eating. So, we literally crave connection. And that's why so many of us felt starved for connection during the pandemic. The problem is that in everyday life, many of us simply ignore the craving or we deny it. We treat socializing like an indulgence rather than an essential health behavior, and we fail to prioritize it. We recognize the importance of sleep, exercise, and healthy eating, and we take steps to maintain them. But going out with friends, going to Happy Hour, Trivia Night, these things often take a backseat. Somehow, they feel less important when in reality,

Our words, actions and even our presence can profoundly affect other people, but we often misread the situation or underestimate ourselves. Emotions and cognitive biases often get in the way.Through extensive behavioral research and workplace study, Vanessa Bohns — the Cornell ILR School's Braunstein Family Professor and chair of the organizational behavior department — has developed strategies for us to better observe our influence, reconsider our fear of rejection and sometimes even use our influence more sparingly. Bohns, the author of “You Have More Influence Than You Think,” encourages us to recognize the influence we already possess rather than seeking new ways to gain it.What You'll LearnHow to be more mindful and present in your interactions with othersHow to get better at asking for thingsHow to get better at saying noHow to recognize and harness our influence for good by building stronger relationships and creating more supportive environmentsThe Cornell Keynotes podcast is brought to you by eCornell, which offers more than 200 online certificate programs to help professionals advance their careers and organizations.

In today's episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy explores the profound responsibility that comes with leadership and the undeniable influence leaders have—whether they realize it or not. Leadership isn't just about making choices; it's about understanding the weight of those choices and the impact they have on the people who follow. Kris challenges both leaders and followers to reflect: When was the last time you revisited your values? Are you making decisions based on your own beliefs, or simply following someone else's lead? She urges listeners to take a step back, dig into their core values, and ensure they're aligned with the people and organizations they choose to follow. But leadership doesn't exist without followership. Kris dives into the often-overlooked responsibility of followers, emphasizing that it's just as crucial for them to understand their own values. “It is as incumbent upon followers to know what their values are, as it is for leaders,” she says. Too often, people look to leaders for direction without first identifying what truly matters to them. “If you assume a role of leadership, you have a tremendous amount of responsibility,” Kris reminds us. People naturally seek guidance, and as a leader, you set the course—whether for a team, a business, or a community. This episode is a call to step into leadership and followership with clarity, intention, and a strong foundation of personal values. Key Takeaways From This Episode Understanding the Responsibility That Comes with a Leadership Role: Discussion of how easy it is for people to be placed in leadership roles based on the followers around them. Leaders Can Influence and Shape People's Actions and Decisions The Importance of Clear Values for Both Leaders and Followers: Self-awareness and clarity about one's values. The Challenge of Different Interpretations of Shared Values Values in the Workplace: Understanding the values of your organization and your leaders.

Are we affected by our society, by our associates and friends, or do we influence them? When are we subject to social pressure? When are we influnced and when are we influencers? Today we examine the question of social pressure through the lens of the Midrash, the Rambam, and Rabb Sacks z"l

In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake talk about social influence and why people change their behaviors because of social interactions. We've all been guilty at some point in our lives of allowing others to influence our decisions, whether consciously or subconsciously. But what underlying psychological factors are at play? Why do we allow these external forces to change the way we think, feel, and behave? 

70% of organizational changes fail. I feel strongly that almost every training project is a change project. So, how do we successfully facilitate change?  One essential element is social influence. We have to create the environment and the relationships to help our audience create and sustain the change. But how do we do that? I'm sharing five ways to use social influence to facilitate behavior change in this episode.▶️ You Need Social Influence to Achieve Behavior Change.

Have you ever felt that knot in your stomach when faced with a new idea that challenges everything you've believed? Social change is inevitable, but it often brings discomfort and resistance. And when you're fighting for a social movement, it can feel impossible trying to fight "against the grain" and change people's ways, thoughts or beliefs. In this episode of Brain Blown, we'll explore how emotions inevitably overpower rational thinking (contrary to popular belief) and the implications it causes. We'll delve into the neuroscience behind our resistance to change and discuss the powerful 25%-claim from Centola. Join us as we navigate these complex dynamics and uncover what it truly takes to inspire change in our society Look out for more mini-episodes on this topic in the coming weeks! And a friendly reminder for new listeners, November & December are our off-months for planning and holidays. After a few more episodes in October, we'll see you back in January!

Send us a Text Message.ReThink Podcast Digital MarketplaceReThink WebsiteYoutube Channel"Imagine how far one simple smile can travel—reaching not just the person next to you, but potentially hundreds or even thousands of others. Discover the powerful ripple effect of a single smile and how you can spread positivity far and wide with just one small act."The act of smiling has significant scientific effects on both the person who smiles and those who observe it. Here are some key findings from research on the impact of smiling on others:1. Contagious Effect:Mirror Neurons: When you smile, the person observing you is likely to smile back due to the activation of mirror neurons in their brain. These neurons fire when we perform an action and when we observe someone else performing the same action, making smiling contagious.Mood Elevation: As a result, when someone smiles at you, it often triggers an automatic smile in response, which can elevate your mood and reduce stress, even if you were not feeling happy initially.2. Social Bonding and Trust:Increased Trust: Smiling is associated with friendliness and approachability. Studies have shown that people are more likely to trust and cooperate with someone who is smiling. This is because a smile signals positive intent and warmth, making social interactions smoother and more enjoyable.Stronger Social Connections: Regularly smiling can strengthen relationships by fostering feelings of connection and goodwill. It acts as a non-verbal cue that we are open to interaction and willing to engage positively with others.3. Perceived Attractiveness:Enhanced Attractiveness: People who smile are often perceived as more attractive and likable. Research has demonstrated that a smiling face is more appealing and approachable than a neutral or frowning expression. This perception can influence social dynamics, including forming friendships, romantic connections, and professional relationships.4. Positive Emotional Influence:Mood Boosting: Seeing someone smile can boost the mood of the observer by triggering the release of feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin in the brain. These chemicals help to alleviate stress and create a sense of happiness and relaxation.Reduced Anxiety: Observing a smile can also help reduce anxiety and tension in social situations. It provides reassurance and can defuse potentially stressful interactions by creating a more positive and relaxed atmosphere.5. Social Influence and Cooperation:Encouraging Positive Behavior: Smiling can influence the behavior of others by encouraging cooperation and helpfulness. When people see a smile, they are more likely to engage in prosocial behaviors, such as offering help or Support the Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1590358/support Closing of ReThinkBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

A Master Class Part 3: Unlocking the Psychology of Customer Experience In the third episode of our Master Class series on the Psychology of Customer Experience, we delve into how other people influence our behavior. Understanding these theoretical dynamics is practical, empowering you to design effective Customer Experiences. Robert Cialdini's research on influence is a cornerstone of understanding social dynamics and persuasion techniques. In this episode, we rely heavily on his groundbreaking work. First, let's consider Social Proof. Social Proof is a concept that describes how the actions and preferences of others influence people. Two examples that demonstrate how this works are the idea of trending, or the tendency to like something if others do, and the fear of missing out (FOMO), which drives people to join in activities or trends. Reciprocity influences behavior, too. Reciprocity is the idea that people respond positively to kindness and favors. Many times, people who have been on the receiving end of kindness will return that behavior.. However, acts of kindness that inspire reciprocity must be genuine. If they come with the expectation of something in return, they will not produce the same results. Scarcity is a persuasive tactic that capitalizes on the limited availability of a product or service to create a sense of urgency and desirability. It can be seen in online shopping carts indicating low stock or limited time offers presented during a cruise. In this episode, we provide an overview of many of these social dynamics that influence customer behavior in your experience. Understanding social dynamics and influence can inform strategic decisions in customer experience design, including marketing campaigns, sales techniques, and product positioning. Best of all, Colin uses his serious “Master-Class” voice, which tells you that he really knows what he is talking about.   In this episode, you will also discover: The concept of Social Proof and how it influences consumer behavior. The power of Reciprocity and how acts of kindness can drive customer loyalty. How Scarcity tactics can create a sense of urgency and increase demand for products or services. Examples of these influence techniques in real-world scenarios, like online shopping cart messages and to-good-to-be-true cruise line offers. The importance of considering social influences throughout the customer journey. Strategies for leveraging social dynamics to enhance customer experiences and drive sales.

In today's world, where consumption and choice are driving forces, understanding consumer behavior is crucial for businesses looking to succeed. It is a complex discipline that examines the intricate network of decisions and actions taken by individuals and entities. These decisions span from the realization of a need or desire to the acquisition, utilization, and ultimately, the disposal of goods and services. This exploration of consumer actions goes beyond the act of purchase; it delves into the underlying psychological, social, cultural, and economic factors that influence buying patterns and brand loyalty.Comprehending consumer behavior not only predicts sales; it also deciphers the symbolic meanings that products hold for consumers and how these meanings are created, shared, and contested in society. By analyzing how individuals and organizations navigate the marketplace and the multitude of options it provides, businesses can develop more effective marketing strategies, enhance customer satisfaction, and ultimately, improve their economic viability in a competitive environment.Whether it is a simple everyday item or a complex service, understanding the consumer's journey from need recognition to post-purchase feelings provides marketers with valuable insights to connect with their audience on a deeper level, establish long-lasting relationships, and anticipate the future needs of the market. This intricate study is not just about financial gain but an ongoing dialogue with the heartbeat of society, an effort to resonate with the ever-changing narrative of human needs and desires.في عالم يدفعه الاستهلاك والخيارات، تعد فهم سلوك المستهلك أمرًا بالغ الأهمية للشركات الساعية إلى الازدهار. إنها تخصص متعدد الأوجه يغوص في الشبكة المعقدة من القرارات والأنشطة التي يقوم بها الأفراد والكيانات. تمتد هذه القرارات عبر طيف يبدأ من الوعي بحاجة أو رغبة وينتهي بالحصول على السلع والخدمات واستخدامها وفي النهاية التخلص منها. تتعدى هذه الاستكشافات لأفعال المستهلكين مجرد عملية الشراء؛ إذ تبحث في العوامل النفسية والاجتماعية والثقافية والاقتصادية الكامنة التي تؤثر في أنماط الشراء والولاء للعلامة التجارية.لا يقتصر فهم سلوك المستهلك على التنبؤ بالمبيعات؛ بل يفسر المعاني الرمزية التي تحملها المنتجات للمستهلكين وكيفية خلق هذه المعاني وتبادلها والتنازع عليها في المجتمع. من خلال تحليل كيفية تنقل الأفراد والمنظمات في السوق وتنوع الخيارات التي يقدمها، يمكن للشركات تصميم استراتيجيات تسويقية أكثر فعالية، وتحسين رضا العملاء، وفي النهاية، تعزيز قابليتها الاقتصادية في ساحة تنافسية.سواء كان المنتج عنصرًا بسيطًا يُستخدم يوميًا أو خدمة معقدة، يجهز فهم مسيرة المستهلك من التعرف على الحاجة إلى المشاعر بعد الشراء، المسوقين بالرؤى اللازمة للتواصل مع جمهورهم على مستوى أعمق، وبناء علاقات دائمة، وتوقع احتياجات السوق المستقبلية. هذه الدراسة المعقدة ليست مجرد سعي وراء الربح ولكنها حوار مستمر مع نبض المجتمع، جهد للت resonancel مع السرد المتطور باستمرار للحاجات والرغبات الإنسانية.

Today I'm going to challenge an assumption that is the cornerstone of so many marketing practices that I'm seeing online.  And this assumption, if left unchecked, could be obstructing your impact, stifling the growth of your organization, and more tragically, muffling the call of your mission.  So imagine, there's this myth circling, and it's causing organizations to undercut their potential and generate online content that just kind of dies when people read it.  And as I'm looking at more and more websites and enrollment funnels, I'm finding that this myth has made its way into strategies, messaging, and very much an outlook towards marketing.  So today, I'm going to be unveiling this myth and how we debunk it. Hold on to your seats, because we're about to revolutionize your understanding of mission-driven marketing.

The power of language is paramount in any form of communication. How one utilizes language can significantly impact the outcome of conversations and the ability to persuade others. By understanding the intricacies of language and the psychology behind it, communicators can craft more effective messages that resonate with their target audience. With a focus on desired identities, motivations, and subtle shifts in language that can encourage or discourage behavior, communicators can directly influence the consumption and sharing of content.  During Jonah Berger's discussion with Melina Palmer, he stressed the importance of language and provided insights from his book, Magic Words. Dr. Berger highlighted the difference between nouns and verbs and how a slight modification in language, such as changing from "help" to "helper," could significantly alter the perception of the task at hand. By diving into the psychology behind language, Jonah offers practical tips to enhance communication, ensuring messages are better received and understood. He also briefly discusses one of his other books, Contagious (a favorite of Melina's!), and the SPEACC framework in Magic Words. Hone your ability to communicate powerfully through thoughtful language choices. Explore the influence of converting verbs into nouns in shaping personal and professional identities. Recognize the effect linguistic similarity has on building rapport and attaining success. Examine the role of cutting-edge technology in unbiased research and in-depth analysis. Understand the vital importance of concrete language in creating compelling marketing and communication tactics. Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Introduction, Melina Palmer introduces Dr. Jonah Berger, Wharton professor and author of the new book Magic Words. 00:05:24 - Tips for Making Content Viral, To make content stand out, communicators need to think less about the product or service they are selling and more about the audience and why they might want to share it. Understanding why people share is key to making word-of-mouth marketing effective. 00:08:28 - The Power of Language, Subtle shifts in language can have a big impact on persuasion. For example, calling someone a "helper" instead of asking them to "help" can increase the likelihood of them taking the action you want. Turning actions into identities can make people more likely to claim desired identities. 00:17:26 - The Power of Stories, Stories are powerful because they activate different parts of the brain and help people remember information better. To make a story more effective, focus on the emotions and how the story relates to the audience's experience. 00:24:31 - The Power of Social Influence, Social influence is powerful because people are more likely to take action if they see others doing it. To make social influence work for you, focus on the early adopters and influencers and make it easy for them to share your message. 00:12:52 - The Value of Metaphor and Concrete Language, Jonah discusses the importance of using concrete language to show others that we have heard them, and how this can lead to increased customer satisfaction. For example, saying “Your refund will be there soon” feels very different from “Your money will be in your account tomorrow.” The latter (which is more concrete) had increased customer satisfaction scores. He also explains the difference between concrete and abstract language and how it can be applied in different contexts. 00:16:13 - The SPEACC Framework, Jonah breaks down the six key types of language covered in his book and provides an overview of each one. These include the language of Similarity and difference, Posing questions, Emotion, Agency and identity, Concreteness, and Confidence. 00:18:12 - Linguistic Similarity, Jonah explains how linguistic similarity can be used to build relationships and connections in the workplace, and how it can even predict future outcomes such as promotions or employee turnover. He also discusses the benefits of being both similar and different in terms of content and language design. 00:19:40 - When to Use Concrete Language, Jonah discusses the research that shows when it is beneficial to use more abstract language, such as in the case of entrepreneurs pitching a business idea. He also explains the importance of adapting to the linguistic culture of a workplace and how it can impact career success. 00:21:34 - Language Similarity and Affiliation, Jonah provides examples of how linguistic similarity can impact personal relationships, such as speed dating or building friendships in the workplace. He also discusses the importance of linguistic cues like pauses and intonation in building trust and increasing positive perceptions. 00:25:47 - Making Your Brand an Identity, The importance of making your brand an identity for your customers, highlighting the significance of transitioning from a verb to a noun. By finding opportunities for customers to be a part of the brand, or the brand to be a part of them, companies can create a stronger connection with their audience. 00:27:13 - The Power of AI, Melina mentions how Jonah and his team use technology, including AI and machine learning, to analyze large amounts of data, which allows them to remove human bias and get results much faster. By using technology to their advantage, businesses can unlock valuable insights that may have been missed or too costly to produce. 00:28:47 - Insights from Magic Words, Jonah's book, Magic Words, provides insight into how language affects business outcomes. From using concrete language in pitches to predicting employee retention based on the language used in emails, businesses can use language as a tool for success. 00:29:31 - Finding Insights in Data, The insights found in Magic Words and Jonah's research demonstrate the power of analyzing data to uncover valuable insights. By asking great questions and using technology to analyze data, businesses can make informed decisions and achieve success. 00:29:44 - Conclusion, Melina's top insights from the conversation.
