Well our guest on the show today is Bret Caretsky and he walks us through the ups and downs and random twists and turns of his story that have all paved the way for where he is today.

Trish Glose interviews fellow journalist and friend, Barrett Tryon, who anchors the morning show in Lansing, Michigan. He talks about growing up in Sarasota, Florida, always knowing he wanted to be in the news business, and how this career got him behind the anchor desk. They also talk about how the Coronavirus pandemic has changed his daily life and his scare with skin cancer.

Six months ago, I did my behavioral economics analysis of Costco, which has zoomed into the 11th most downloaded episode of this podcast. My analysis of Apple Card is right above it, so we can say they share the 10th spot. Today, I’m doing another behavioral analysis of a business: Starbucks.  It’s not a coincidence that we are getting into Starbucks right around the holiday season. They have definitely done some things very right when it comes to the holidays…and I will touch on the controversy they’ve seen as well. In the episode we will talk about featured drinks, red cups, nostalgia, pricing strategy, scarcity…and a whole lot more. If you’ve been listening for a while, you know I love Starbucks. Not just for their chai tea lattes and marshmallow dream bars, or because I live in Seattle…but because of the amazing things they have done as a company to shape the world we live in today. Starbucks is a dynamic and large company with a plethora of examples I could have chosen to talk about today.  There isn’t time for everything. Instead, I have picked some of my favorite pieces for the episode – ones I think you will find valuable and interesting and be able to apply to your own business (whatever that may be). Whether you work for a global business like Starbucks, are a solopreneur or an academic or somewhere in between…you can learn from the smart things the company has done and how they have understood human behavior. In the episode, we will dig into their star rewards program, as well as featured drinks and products – from PSL to the Unicorn Frappuccino, as well as the coveted red cups (which just launched a couple days ago by the time this comes out), the personality and overall brand choices in their logo, locations and on social media and, of course, pricing. Show Notes: [04:31] Without the original brand and pricing, Starbucks would be just another coffee shop. [05:04] It really is an amazing feat when you think about the commoditized industry Starbucks was facing before it launched its first store. [06:04] One of the big aspects Starbucks had to overcome was the pricing anchor. The first number you hear (or a standard price) is the anchor, and the brain adjusts from that to determine what is reasonable. [07:02] The way we act is driven by our subconscious, and when you ask a logical question to the conscious, it doesn’t answer in a way that reflects true behavior. [07:19] To justify a higher price, Starbucks needed to invent a new category. [07:59] This wasn’t just about coffee – it was creating community…a “third place” – an experience that was something more.  [08:21] Functional fixedness: when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. [08:48] When you look at what everyone else is doing, herding will keep you stuck. [09:01] Howard Schultz and Starbucks took a step back, got out of their own way, and created a new category which changed the conversation about coffee. [09:12] Asking good questions can help you get there. [10:01] Ask questions that aren’t about what everyone else is doing. Don't get stuck in the herding or the anchors. Instead, it is about looking to what could be, and asking “How might we?” or “Why?” [10:07] For your business, look at all the things you do because everyone else does. Is that serving you well? What would make your customers excited? Delighted? [10:29] Price is never about price. It's about all the things that come to for the price. Starbucks is a fantastic example of that. [10:56] Studies about wine show that people get more enjoyment from drinking wine that is more expensive. [11:37] When you can break free from the herd and make it about something more, your business can reap benefits beyond what you even imagine. [12:13] Starbucks changed the game with all of their drink options. The first drink they made famous was the Frappuccino. [13:38] The brain gets what it expects. If you expect Frappuccinos to be delicious and you get something similar by a different name, it won't be as good. [14:46] Starbucks started the original pumpkin spice latte or PSL. The limited nature triggers scarcity and loss aversion. [15:53] For scarcity to be a value in your business, you actually have to take something away. [18:43] Starbucks is constantly testing, and they're not afraid to have something popular only available for a limited time. [19:20] The new thing that started this week is the red cups. Keeping traditions alive is something that Starbucks does amazingly well. [20:03] For many, the red cup has become part of a tradition on holidays. When you become a lifestyle brand, you bear the responsibility of becoming a part of peoples’ lives. [21:34] Starbucks had a set of filters that every brand aspect had to pass through. These included being handcrafted, artistic, sophisticated, human, and enduring. [23:46] Taking the time to stop and evaluate what is really going on is important. [25:11] When you think about the value of the brand, it's about the overall experience with the brand at its core. [26:33] Your business should learn to watch the trends. What is going on that is cool and interesting and that everyone is talking about, and how would it look if you were to incorporate that into your offering? [28:00] Star rewards are one of the smartest things Starbucks could have done for their business. In many ways, this built upon the wildly popular “treat receipt” where you can get a discount when you buy a second item after 2pm or 3pm. [29:06] The star rewards model is built to create habits for users and increase visits. [34:03] Star rewards are a smart balance of loss aversion, scarcity, relativity, habits, and more. All executed through a series of experiments to see what is bringing the most value to the company and its customers. [34:42] Don't get sucked into your brain’s natural tendency to herd. Just because everyone else is doing something one way, doesn’t mean it is RIGHT to do so. [34:59] Take a step back and think bigger. Look to the future and the possibilities. [35:11] Scarcity is a powerful tool when used correctly. Especially when paired with loss aversion to help people choose your product. [36:05] Making your brand a habit is about more than caffeine and sugar. Starbucks puts effort into getting more customers to choose them more often for more things. [37:59] Next week, we are digging into the concept of time pressure. Thanks for listening. Don’t forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Android.

Starbuck's new Tie-Dye Frappuccino is this summer's sold out Unicorn Frappuccino - which we never tasted. Zoe and I found the Last Tie-Dye Frappuccino in the state. Taste test! Our "No AC" Challenge continues and you've all given us such great suggestions! There's a social media push to gather all the Area 51 fans together and sort of "gang-storm" the base. Their motto: "They can't stop all of us!" Why this is a bad idea explained on the show today. Starbuck's new Tie-Dye Frappuccino (image credit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/59142238@N02/)

New is exciting. It's why there's a frenzy every time Apple announces a new product or Starbucks releases a new drink. But like the Apple Pencil and the Unicorn Frappuccino, they're not always an improvement on what's already out there. Don't get caught up chasing the new, shiny marketing idea just because it's the current […]The post Don't Chase the Bright Shiny Objects! – LFMM 204 appeared first on Spotlight Branding.

Unicorn Frappuccino Review by Yves the Cannon Sanon

On the second episode of Father and Sons, Mark, Chism, and Josiah discuss the super trending Unicorn Frappuccino from Starbucks and answer the question to what the next viral frapp flavor will be.

Episode 165 of The Mommy Gamers Podcast is full of crazy epic discussions including the Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino aka Circus In A Cup to video games, movies and more! Desirai is ridiculously excited about Cut the Rope: Magic and the Outlander Season 3 Trailer.  Carrie brings all the TV and Movies chat with Bates Motel, Doctor Who Season 12, and a lively chat with Desirai about The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Marcia is getting excited for Little Nightmares, virtual reality shopping, and a mod for Sims 4 that is basically porn.  The ladies all get into a very passionate discussion about the Unicorn Frappuccino from Starbucks, and pretty much yell at the people shaming others for enjoying this treat. There's much more in this awesome episode...but these notes are getting a little too long and we'd hate to ruin all the surprises. 

Welcome to another episode of your fave fact-checkin’ show! Darren kicks things off with a recap and discussion of April 22’s March For Science. Cristina looks into whether witchcraft is an actual crime under Canada’s Criminal Code. Finally, Adam asks the burning question on all of our minds lately...does the new Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino contain any coffee?

Feeling like going the extra mile?  In episode ten, Dave and Andy are really feeling it. Maybe it’s because they drank the strongest coffee in the world and then recorded this. Or maybe it’s because they found a meth-addicted python and a shrimp that kills fish with sound. Or the fact that Pepsi used to have one of the strongest navies in the world. Or possibly it’s the crazy loophole that bars are exploiting in India… But it’s definitely not because of the Unicorn Frappuccino from Starbucks! Join us won’t you? DAVE FORGOT THE BEER!!! Just kidding. We’re drinking the Shelby Cobra (Commander) Lager from Absolution Brewing and The Looker from Duckfoot Brewery. The Nigerian prince’s $43 million were found. Too bad no one replied to his email cries for help.  Dave shares the crowdfunded origin for the Space Shuttle names, the origin of neckties and the incredible fact that dogs poop facing a certain direction. Dude, Did You Hear? A python made the journey from innocent reptile, to cold-blooded meth addict and back. Bars in India need to be 500m from the street. So the bars found a loophole in the law and made a maze to get to the front door. It’s unknown how many drunk people are still lost in those mazes. There’s a new species of shrimp that kills fish with sound. Kind of like how Nikki Minaj kills humans with sound. Wait… An 8 year old drove his 4 year old sister to McDonald’s. THANKS YOUTUBE!  A professional tennis match was interrupted by loud sex noises. Some serious foul ball play was happening. Pepsi once had the most powerful navy in the world. Yes, the soda company. We’re nyet kidding. The show Rick and Morty causes a packet of McDonald’s Sechuan sauce from the 1990s to sell for $15,000. GOTTA HAVE THAT MULAN MCNUGGEET SAUCE, MORTY! Andy recommends Better Call Saul – probably the best example of a spinoff done well. Dave recommends Fargo. Any of it, all of it. Dontcha know? Andy recommends the World’s Strongest Coffee – Black Insomnia. Because sleeping is cheating. SWORD WATCH RETURNS!  Andy reminds Cosmopolitan that they probably shouldn’t profile cancer patients as a weightloss piece. Andy doesn’t recommend the unicorn frappaccinno because it is a god awful abomination of a coffee drink that should be killed with fire. KILL IT WITH FIRE!! Dave exposes Andy to a “Would you rather…” that could get a little stinky.

Media elites on the right are at it again. They're cheering the demise of Bill O'Reilly? Conservative media elites never liked him, so they gladly handed him over to his attackers. His crime? He connected with flyover country like their pointy-headed purity polishing never could, so they say, "Good riddance." He won't be the last to be attacked. Who's next, and will the right wing gentry cut and run again? Is safety vs. free speech a false alternative? When campuses uninvite conservative speakers, they reason they always give is that they can't guarantee security. In Oakland, persons engaging in assault are often college faculty and staff. Even the Mayor of Oakland is affiliated with an Antifa splinter group called BAMN, The Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration & Immigrant Rights, and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary. It's an anti-Trump group and the Mayor, who is charged with keeping order, is part of it. Are you starting to think Starbucks creates ill will on social media knowing they win in the end? This week they introduced a short-run Unicorn Frappuccino. It's coloring is, well, gay. Taste testers say it reminds them of stale cake and even some baristas are publicly complaining. The good news is, the drink is only being served through Sunday. What did they hope to accomplish with such kamikaze branding? LIVE SATURDAY 7AM PST/10AM EST. The Original and Classic Gang of 405!
