2d ago40:09

40:09

If your marketing isn’t working, it’s probably because you’re not talking about the right problem. Most businesses struggle to identify the most compelling issue their customer is trying to solve.

#14: Simplicity—Why a “Less Is More” Approach Can Make Anything More Effective 33:01

16d ago33:01

33:01

Most businesses, brands, and even thought leaders make the same mistake: they overcomplicate things.

Nostalgia is a powerful force. You hear an old song or catch a familiar scent, and instantly, you’re transported back in time. But our brains don’t just remember the past, they rewrite it.

33:38

If someone told you in the ’90s that people would happily pay $5 for a cup of coffee, you probably would’ve laughed. Before Starbucks, coffee was just… coffee.
