For decades, PR professionals have tried to influence what people think or how they think it. AI may be changing something even more fundamental: whether people do much of that thinking themselves. Researchers call it “Cognitive Surrender.” The tendency to accept an AI-generated answer without really scrutinizing it. And if AI increasingly sits between your message and your audience, or starts doing the thinking for communicators themselves, the implications for trust, persuasion and professional judgment could be enormous. Listen For4:30 What Is Cognitive Surrender and How Did Researchers Test It?7:44 Why Did People Accept Wrong AI Answers 80% of the Time?9:53 Can Cognitive Surrender Weaken Critical Thinking Skills?12:47 What Happens When AI Sits Between PR Pros and the Public?15:14 Why Should Communicators Think First and Prompt Second?Guest: Dr Steven Shaw, PhD, King's College London and Wharton School, University of PennsylvaniaWebsite | LinkedIn | Google Scholar pageDougSubstack | Website | LinkedIn Subscribe to the Stories and Strategies PR podcast newsletterAre you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

Links The Next Ten Years: A Returned Missionary’s Guide to the Decade That Shapes Your Life Weaving a Vision into Your Service | An Interview with Davis Smith Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights In this YouTube livestream conversation, Kurt and Davis talk about navigating post-mission transitions, applying practical life skills, and developing lifelong discipleship centered on Jesus Christ. Key Insights Connecting Mission Skills to Real-Life Success: The competencies developed on a mission—such as goal setting, communication, team coordination, and networking—directly translate into professional, financial, and relational success when returned missionaries learn to connect those dots. Intimate Compassion (Oil Before Wine): Drawing from the parable of the Good Samaritan, effective leadership and personal correction require establishing love and empathy (“oil”) before offering invitation, counsel, or direction (“wine”). Aiming for Continuous Growth, Not Maintenance: A spiritual peak reached during dedicated service should serve as a baseline for future growth rather than a status to merely maintain. Immediate Post-Mission Focus & Purpose: The initial three to six months after full-time service are the most critical for establishing daily habits, securing church callings, avoiding technology distractions, and redirecting focus outward toward community service. Financial Stewardship Early in Life: Establishing foundational financial habits—such as paying tithing first, saving consistently, and utilizing simple long-term investment vehicles like index funds—early in adulthood creates long-term independence and security. Leadership Applications Ask Intentional, Reflective Questions: Rather than asking for casual stories, leaders and parents can help returned missionaries process their service by asking targeted questions about spiritual gifts discovered, personal habits to keep, and lessons learned from mission leaders. Provide Clear Purpose and Responsibility: Local leaders can ease tough life transitions by extending meaningful callings or mentoring assignments early on, helping individuals shift their focus away from self-centered anxiety and toward serving others. Support Alternate & Service Mission Paths: Leaders should exercise empathy and avoid judgment when a mission ends unexpectedly or transitions to a service mission, recognizing that God’s plan and approval apply to all sincere efforts to serve.

Is it true that divorced moms actually do less housework than married moms? Is there an optimal time for women to pause their careers to start a family? How can you tell by the third date whether or not your relationship is a good deal? Dr. Corinne Low is a professor of public policy and economics at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. Her book, Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women's Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours, provides a roadmap for optimizing your resources and maximizing your satisfaction in life, whether it be with your career or your family. Corinne and Greg discuss the problems modern women face in the workplace and at home, the economic tools women can apply to make the most out of what they've got, and the importance of strategically picking a romantic partner. They also unpack the million dollar question with profound social implications: Why are women still expected to do the majority of the housework? *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Women can earn more and still do more housework28:00: In my data, I will see couples, and we focused on couples who are hourly workers 'cause otherwise people would say, "Well, men just have jobs that are more inflexible, and women have these more flexible jobs, so that's why women end up doing more of the housework." But if we zoom in on couples where they're both hourly workers, and I could go to a couple where she is earning four times what he earns per hour, okay? And she does more than twice as much housework, and he works more hours than she does, and she works fewer hours. So that couple, if he would take on some of the domestic load and she could, in the modal couple here, she's like a healthcare worker, so if she could pick up a shift as a nurse, the couple would be richer. It would loosen their economic constraints. What is stopping them? And yes, I have to think it's these deeply ingrained gender norms about what roles do we learn in our natal households? How do we feel like we're contributing?Optimize for the life you actually want03:57: We're all facing scarcity. But if you figure out what your utility function is and you figure out what constraints you're facing, you can solve for a life that meets your needs, fulfills you, enriches you, and provides you all sorts of amazing opportunities. But that does sometimes mean being selective and not trying to go for the maximum of everything everywhere all at once.Is there a perfect time to have a child?41:30: Having a child is such an important life decision and is going to be, ultimately, such a larger source of utility than your career for people who do choose to become parents, that you should do that when works for your family, right? I think you should be strategic about all the infrastructure you build around when you do that, but I don't think that you should try to be perfectly strategic about when you do it.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Daniel Kahneman Richard Thaler Cass Sunstein Claudia GoldinLeave It to Beaver “Degrees are Forever: Marriage, Educational Investment, and Lifecycle Labor Decisions of Men and Women” by Mary Ann Bronson “The Power of the Pill: Oral Contraceptives and Women's Career and Marriage Decisions” by Claudia Goldin and Lawrence F.

Every operation that's been running a few years has a pile of former customers sitting in its invoicing software doing nothing. Most of them didn't leave angry — they moved, cut back, or just drifted. Research out of the Wharton School puts your odds of selling to a lost customer at 20–40%, versus 5–20% for a stranger you'd have to pay to reach.   This episode covers who counts as lapsed, the four things a re-introduction has to do, and the three mistakes that kill it.

The Truth About Supplements, Longevity & What You're Really Putting in Your Body | Carl Pradelli The supplement industry is filled with massive promises. More energy. Better sleep. Sharper thinking. Less inflammation. Slower aging. A longer life. But how much of it is actually backed by science—and how much is simply great marketing? In this episode of Everything Is Personal, Len May sits down with Carl Pradelli, Co-Founder and CEO of NatureCity, for a candid conversation about the business and science of nutritional supplements, longevity, healthy aging, consumer trust, and what people should really understand before deciding what to put into their bodies. Carl and his wife Beth co-founded NatureCity in 2002 with a simple idea: create supplements they would actually feel comfortable taking themselves and giving to their families. More than two decades later, Carl has built an extensive network of scientists, ingredient suppliers and manufacturers while overseeing product development and digging deeply into the research behind nutritional ingredients. And that experience has taught him something important: The biggest number on the label doesn't necessarily mean the best product. The newest ingredient isn't automatically the most effective. And “longevity” on a bottle doesn't mean it's going to help you live longer. Carl and Len go inside an industry that consumers often find confusing and overwhelming. They discuss how supplement companies choose ingredients, why formulation and sourcing matter, what separates meaningful human research from marketing claims, and why dosage alone can be misleading. Carl explains how factors such as ingredient quality, standardization, absorption and delivery can matter just as much—or more—than the milligram number printed on a bottle. The conversation also tackles one of the hottest topics in health today: longevity. Everyone seems to be looking for the next molecule, compound or biohack that could extend lifespan. Carl takes a more grounded view. Healthy aging isn't about finding one miracle supplement. It involves multiple interconnected systems—including cardiovascular health, brain health, metabolic function, oxidative stress, inflammation, immune function, nutrition, movement and lifestyle. That leads to a bigger question: Are we spending too much money chasing the newest longevity trend while ignoring the fundamentals that have decades of evidence behind them? Carl and Len also explore the responsibility that comes with selling products people use to improve their health. NatureCity has built its current positioning around ingredients supported by scientific research, transparency around formulations, and a company philosophy Carl describes simply: “If we won't take it, we don't make it.” But the conversation doesn't stop at products. This is also the story of entrepreneurship. Carl talks about building NatureCity from the ground up, working alongside his wife, navigating more than two decades of change in the wellness industry, and learning how to balance scientific evidence, business realities, consumer expectations and personal responsibility. Len and Carl get into the uncomfortable questions too. How do consumers know whom to trust? When does wellness marketing cross the line? How much evidence should exist before a company makes a health claim? Does expensive necessarily mean better? Are trendy longevity supplements actually worth the money? And when the science changes, should companies be willing to change their position too? Carl's own experience offers an interesting perspective because he has watched the supplement industry evolve from something relatively niche into a massive part of mainstream health and wellness culture. Today, consumers have access to thousands of products and an endless stream of health advice from podcasts, influencers, physicians, biohackers and social media. More information should make choosing easier. Instead, it often makes it harder. This episode is ultimately about becoming a more educated consumer—and understanding that your health is too personal to outsource entirely to a label, an advertisement or the latest trend. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Bigger doses do not automatically mean better supplements. • Ingredient quality, sourcing, standardization and absorption can matter as much as dosage. • Published human research is an important part of evaluating nutritional ingredients. • Longevity is unlikely to come from one miracle molecule or supplement. • Healthy aging depends on multiple interconnected biological and lifestyle factors. • Expensive or trendy longevity products are not automatically superior to established nutrients. • Consumers should understand what is actually inside a supplement—not just what appears on the front of the bottle. • Marketing claims and scientific evidence are not the same thing. • Transparency is essential when companies are asking people to trust them with their health. • Entrepreneurs in wellness have a responsibility to evolve as the science evolves. • Supplements can support health, but they are only one part of a much larger picture. • Building a successful health company requires balancing science, business, ethics and consumer trust. • The more personalized health becomes, the more important informed decision-making becomes. ABOUT CARL PRADELLI Carl Pradelli is the Co-Founder and CEO of NatureCity, a nutritional supplement company he founded with his wife Beth in 2002. Carl leads NatureCity's product development and has spent more than two decades building relationships with scientists, ingredient suppliers and manufacturers. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from New York University and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He also hosts The NatureCity Podcast, where he breaks down research surrounding supplements, nutrition and healthy aging and challenges some of the assumptions consumers make about dosage, ingredients and longevity products. If you take supplements, care about longevity, spend money on wellness—or simply want to become harder to fool by health marketing—this conversation is worth hearing. Because when it comes to your health, everything is personal.

“With artificial cognition, we have the ability to outsource the entire thinking or reasoning process itself. And that's what we call cognitive surrender: the adoption of AI outputs without verification, without much internal engagement at all.”What happens to clinical judgment when physicians begin relying on artificial intelligence—and what happens when that technology is taken away?In this special Editor's Choice episode of JCMS Author Interviews, Dr. Kirk Barber speaks with Canadian academic Steven Shaw, assistant professor of marketing at King's Business School, King's College London, and formerly of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.Shaw introduces the concept of “cognitive surrender”: accepting AI-generated conclusions without independently reasoning through or verifying them. They examine what this could mean in medicine, where incorrect or unchallenged answers can have serious consequences.Their conversation explores emerging evidence of deskilling among experienced clinicians who use AI-assisted diagnostic tools, as well as the risk of “never-skilling” when medical trainees outsource parts of the learning process before developing their own expertise.They also consider how AI is changing the doctor–patient relationship. Can AI scribes create more time for meaningful conversation—or does being recorded inhibit trust and disclosure? What happens when patients arrive with their own AI-generated diagnoses? And when a physician's judgment differs from an AI recommendation, which one is more likely to be trusted?A timely discussion about AI, medical education and how clinicians can benefit from new technologies without surrendering the critical judgment on which good medicine depends.This episode is supported by an educational grant from Sun Pharma Canada through the CDA Corporate Supporter Program.Dr. Barber and his guests do not receive any financial reimbursement for the production of this podcast.For more great CDA podcasts check out Dermalogues, our Residents podcast hosted by Dr Kerri Purdy.

Wes Rowlands learned his earliest lessons in business and finance not in a classroom, but on a golf course at eleven years old. Raised by a single mother and determined to change the trajectory of his family, he turned necessity into an education. He started first as a caddie, then college internships, Wall Street, and ultimately the wealth-management businesses he leads today. In this episode, Wes shares why showing up often matters more than credentials, why business is emotionally harder than it is intellectually complicated, and how creating value with humility became both his philosophy and his mission.

A company's true value isn't locked in a spreadsheet; it is built or destroyed at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and execution. On this episode of Behind the Numbers, host Dave Bookbinder sits down with Jay Weiser, founder of Jay Weiser Consulting, to unpack what it truly means to build a future fit organization. Together, they examine how hidden structural drag and subtle misalignments between strategy, organizational capability, and operations quietly erode enterprise worth long before the damage hits the balance sheet. Jay shares actionable insights for navigating market disruption, detailing his Five Leadership Superpowers framework: present futurist, experienced learner, accountable collaborator, prepared risk-taker, and strategic executor. He highlights why human capital must be treated as a core business driver, emphasizing the strategic alignment needed between the Board, CEO, and CHRO, while offering private equity investors tools to stress-test assumptions in a non-linear world. Listeners walk away with practical strategies to sense market signals early, make faster decisions under uncertainty, and eliminate executive friction. Jay also outlines three diagnostic questions leaders can use immediately to uncover hidden capability gaps, align team execution with long-term strategy, and safeguard enterprise value. Equip your leadership team with the vision and execution capabilities required to build an organization that thrives through disruption. About Our Guest: Jay R.

AI is advancing rapidly—but who is responsible when the risks become too big to ignore?Peter Conti-Brown, Professor at the Wharton School, explores whether the banking system offers a useful model for supervising powerful AI companies.Rather than relying solely on rules written years in advance, bank supervision involves ongoing conversations between public officials and private institutions to identify and manage emerging risks.Conti-Brown discusses how AI stress tests could work, what might happen if powerful models are hijacked or misused, and why consumers could ultimately end up holding the bag when things go wrong.

Amazon keeps raising the bar. Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc open with the retailer's blockbuster quarter: massive gains in AWS and advertising, staggering AI capex, and retail revenue up 16% year over year, up from 12% last year. Third-party sellers now drive more than 60% of the business, and Citi pegs underlying GMV growth near 10%, roughly double the industry average. Amazon's B2B division alone now tops $60 billion, bigger than all but eleven U.S. retailers. Then the hosts dig into the agentic commerce numbers Amazon disclosed as Rufus folds into Alexa shopping, why sample bias demands caution here, and how grocery momentum is turning Amazon into a mega market-share threat.  Then: Shopify's revenue up 32%, and the tale-of-two-cities reality that a handful of giants now drive nearly all e-commerce growth. A mid-year check on Steve's Prediction #8 — luxury's future won't be evenly distributed. LVMH, Kering, and Capri lag on China softness and war induced Gulf weakness, while Hermès, Ralph Lauren, Richemont, and Zegna keep delivering outsized results. Live from the CommerceNext Growth Show: Kartik Hosanagar. He's Wharton's John C. Hower Professor of Technology and Digital Business, author of A Human's Guide to Machine Intelligence, and co-founder of Bliss Labs. His argument: the biggest shift in retail isn't a new technology or channel. It's a new customer. Treating AI as another distribution channel is the same mistake movie studios made with Netflix. There's no marketing science for AI yet. $9.99 pricing, scarcity, social proof — a model may not respond to any of it. Kartik walks through the Ridge wallet case: invisible in ChatGPT's "gifts for men" results, then the default recommendation within three weeks, complete with a hallucinated promotion. Every retailer faces the same fork: efficiency or meaning. The middle is the most dangerous place to stand. Kartik also details the simulation sandboxes that let brands test counterfactuals in a day instead of eight weeks, why you can't just ask an LLM why it picked a brand, and the three attitudes retailers need now: curious, experimental, collaborative Back in studio: Wayfair's encouraging quarter and Steve's change of heart, Warby Parker's mixed report as store count passes 400, tariff rebates ($100 billion of $160 billion already repaid, more tariffs looming), and whether live selling has hit its tipping point with QVC out of bankruptcy and Whatnot valued at $20 billion.

Join us for a timely discussion on two developments shaping the future of digital assets in the United States. We will examine the CLARITY Act and its effort to establish clear rules for whether digital assets fall under SEC or CFTC oversight, as well as the ongoing dispute over Federal Reserve master accounts for crypto-focused banking institutions.Together, these issues highlight a central question: will digital asset firms gain both regulatory clarity and meaningful access to the nation’s financial infrastructure?

Fifteen years ago Congress created the CMS Innovation Center to test new ways of delivering quality care at lower costs. Since then, the Innovation Center has tested dozens of models - some have been successes, and many have not. Director Abe Sutton joins The Other 80 for a candid conversation about the Innovation Center's record, its next chapter, and the big bets ahead. Abe identifies three features of successful models:Mandatory participation to avoid cherry pickingDownside risk to drive provider attention and engagementMinimal gaps between first- and second-generation models to maintain momentum Abe says success should not be measured by how many models work, but by overall return on investment:“If we are taking bold bets, if we're trying to say, all right, let's back the next thing that could really transform care in a country and put the country on a more solid fiscal foundation while improving care and the affordability of care. Well, one thing that really was transformative and did that well may be worth the cost of running 20 things.”Relevant LinksRead the CMS Accountable Communities EvaluationAccess the GAO report evaluating the CMMI model from 2011-2024Read the CMMI's most recent Strategic PlanAbout Our GuestAbe Sutton serves as the Director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation and Deputy Administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Tom Loarie talks with Tom Hardin, dubbed the FBI’s “Tipper X.” An undergraduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton School of Business, Hardin’s promising career as a young financial analyst and junior partner at a small hedge fund in Manhattan, segued into Hardin becoming the youngest trader to be caught in a massive insider training FBI sting. Hardin agreed to cooperate with the FBI—agreeing to wear a hidden wire on more than 40 occasions—and ultimately becoming one of the most prolific informants in securities fraud history. His cooperation helped to build more than 20 of the 80+ individual criminal cases in “Operation Perfect Hedge,” the largest insider trading investigation of a generation. This episode delivers a riveting, raw, unvarnished conversation with Hardin on self-deception, the high price of “fitting in”, and how to survive life’s absolute worst moments. He wasn’t publicly dubbed “Tipper x” until early 2010. At the time, he had less than 12 hours to prepare his relatives before his name was made public. As you’ll hear, Tom Hardin doesn’t hide behind the word “mistake.” He openly admits: “I did this intentionally.” That radical accountability is what allowed him to rebuild his life, find his faith, and serve as a warning sign to keep other leaders from sliding down the same slippery slope. Of course he cannot work in the financial field with a felony conviction, but in 2016 the FBI invited him to speak to agents about his side of the story, which proved to be quite eye-opening for some of the younger agents. A few of the agents told Harding they felt others in the financial, hedge fund industry would benefit from his story. He has now shared his first-hand cautionary tale to more than 150 audiences, including 90 hedge fund firms. In broader context, we tend to think that massive personal and professional failures happen overnight. But they don't. In reality, these failures happen through quiet, everyday compromises in two critical areas: (1) The Trap of “Fitting In” — There is a dangerous difference between finding a place where you belong and twisting yourself to “fit in.” Fitting in is an active sacrifice. To fit in with an elite crowd, we silence our voice, compromise our values, and erase our true self. When young Wharton graduate Tom Hardin entered the high-stakes world of Wall Street, his desperate desire to fit in clouded his moral judgment. Because Hardin lacked grounded mentors early in his career to model real ethics, he slipped into self-deception. Once you deceive yourself, you can deceive anyone – and lose your soul in the process. (2) The Danger of “Turning Against” Your Spouse — Statistics show that only 15% of marriages survive a federal felony conviction. Yet, Tom's wife, Sue, stood fiercely by his side. When asked how she survived the trauma of his arrest, her answer was simple: “He never turned on me.” He made terrible, illegal choices, but he never demeaned her, hid from her, or directed his failures at her. Ultimately, too many relationships dissolve – sometimes invisibly – because one partner slowly begins to turn against the other, chip away at their dignity, or demean them. In a crisis, if you turn on each other, destruction is guaranteed.

What happens when companies move AI from a promising experiment into everyday operations and the technology starts making costly mistakes?Santiago Gallino, Associate Professor of Operations, Information and Decisions and Associate Professor of Marketing at the Wharton School, examines why companies such as Starbucks and Ford have reconsidered AI-driven processes after accuracy and quality problems exposed the technology's limitations.Gallino explains how unreliable systems can erode employee trust, why human judgment remains essential, and how implementation failures can affect customers and brand reputation. He also discusses the risks of scaling AI too quickly and why companies must determine whether their technology investments deliver meaningful customer value and measurable returns. Hosted on Acast.

Why AI Mental Health Chatbots Fail When It Matters Most: The Hidden Vulnerabilities Stress-Testing Reveals - An Interview with Shirali and Arul Nigam of Circuit Breaker Labs Shirali and Arul Nigam of Circuit Breaker Labs on why AI mental health chatbots fail, how stress-testing exposes their hidden vulnerabilities, and what therapists need to know. Curt and Katie talk with Shirali and Arul Nigam, the sibling co-founders of Circuit Breaker Labs, about what therapists tend to get wrong about AI, why the safety infrastructure behind many mental health chatbots is weaker than it looks, and how their team stress-tests these tools to find dangerous failures before real users ever encounter them. Generative AI is probabilistic, so the same prompt can return a safe answer one moment and a harmful one the next. Shirali and Arul explain how guardrails get bypassed by a misspelled word, a teenager's slang, or the hundredth message in a long conversation, why mental health chatbots tend to fail in the moments that matter most, and what stress-testing hundreds of thousands of simulated conversations actually reveals about model safety. The conversation closes on what clinicians can do now, why clinical insight is the missing ingredient in AI safety, and why third-party validation is becoming the standard regulators and developers expect. Used well, AI can be a supplement to care or a gateway to a human therapist, but it is not a replacement, and getting there safely starts with building clinical insight in from the foundation. In this episode, we discuss: - Why people usually turn to AI in place of no care, not in place of a therapist - Why generative AI's unpredictability, not a single bad answer, is the real safety problem - How a misspelling, slang, or a long conversation can slip past chatbot guardrails - Why AI mental health chatbots tend to fail in the highest-risk moments - What stress-testing hundreds of thousands of conversations reveals about model safety - Why clinical insight is the missing ingredient, and what clinicians can do now Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 1:38 - Meet Shirali and Arul Nigam and Circuit Breaker Labs 3:37 - What therapists get wrong about AI 5:28 - Deterministic versus generative AI, and why the risk scales 8:26 - The safety problem in AI mental health: trust, training data, and agreeableness 11:29 - Guardrails, lifeguard models, and the 988 problem 17:30 - Deploying clinical insight at scale and building safety in from the start 21:09 - How stress-testing works: context pollution and adversarial simulation 27:11 - What the stress tests reveal: variance, typos, and bypassed guardrails 30:59 - Regulation, credential hallucination, and third-party validation 36:58 - What clinicians can do, and the missing clinical insight 40:20 - Where to find Circuit Breaker Labs Guest Bios: Shirali and Arul Nigam are siblings and the co-founders of Circuit Breaker Labs, which autonomously pressure-tests the AI systems that interact with people to find hidden mental health vulnerabilities before they reach real users. Shirali brings expertise in neuroscience, translational research, and clinical work, with experience at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Research Campus, NIH NINDS, Harvard's Wyss Institute, Johns Hopkins, and Children's National. She holds a BS in Biomedical Engineering from The George Washington University and an MBA from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Arul has conducted technical and policy research on ethical AI, with a focus on bias and fairness, at Georgetown University and Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, and holds a BSBA in Operations and Analytics from Georgetown University.

Have you ever bought something because it was "almost sold out" or because a sale was ending at midnight? If so, you're not alone. Scarcity is one of the most powerful forces influencing human behavior. When something becomes difficult to get, we often value it more—even if we weren't interested in it before. Marketers know this. That's why you'll see messages like "Only 3 left in stock," "Limited-time offer," or "Sale ends tonight." Sometimes those claims reflect genuine scarcity. Other times, they are carefully designed to create urgency and push you toward a decision. In this episode, we explore why scarcity is so effective, how it taps into fundamental human psychology, and the many ways businesses use it to influence what you buy. Joining me is Mindy Weinstein, a marketing instructor at Grand Canyon University and the University of Denver, as well as a program leader for The Wharton School and Columbia Business School. She is also author of the book The Power of Scarcity: Leveraging Urgency and Demand to Influence Customer Decisions (https://amzn.to/3QizF3u). What you'll discover: Why scarce products and opportunities instantly become more attractive. The difference between real scarcity and manufactured scarcity. How fear of missing out (FOMO) drives purchasing decisions. Why limited choices can sometimes make people more likely to act. Practical ways to recognize and resist scarcity-based manipulation.

Hey SO MONEY family — something special in your feed today.My friend Lindsey Stanberry is taking over with an episode of Family Money, her new podcast series with Babylist through The Purse. Lindsey has been covering women, work, and money for over a decade, and what she's building here is exactly the kind of honest, practical conversation that parents need and almost nobody is having well.And yes — I'm in this one.The episode is called "What Does Childcare Actually Cost?" and it does exactly what it says. Lindsey talks with economist Corinne Low — Associate Professor at the Wharton School and author of the USA Today bestseller Having It All — who reframes childcare not as a money pit but as an investment in your time, your career, and your family's future. Then I join to walk through the real numbers: daycare centers, nanny shares, au pairs, in-home care, the grandparent option nobody talks about enough — what each one actually costs and how to figure out what's right for your family.We also get into something that drives me crazy: this idea that childcare costs come out of the mother's salary. They don't. They come out of your family's future. And once you see it that way, everything changes.If you're expecting, deep in the daycare years, or just trying to get ahead of it — this episode is for you. Give Family Money a follow wherever you listen. Lindsey is doing incredible work.Learn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop Book to Brand. Early bird registration is now open!
