Daniel Crosby on behavioural psychology applied to marketing and finance - MAF141
My guest on the show this week is psychologist and TEDx speaker, Daniel Crosby.
We have a fascinating discussion about behavioural psychology and how we often make irrational decisions. If you're a marketer or give advice of any kind don't miss this great interview.
Welcome to episode 141 of the Marketing and Finance Podcast.
We chat about:
- What behavioural psychology is and why it's important to understand how people make decisions
- Why we all have biases that often lead to us making the wrong decisions
- The key elements of emotion, ego, conservation and attention and why they affect consumer behaviour
- Why we need to get outside help to overcome our biases and irrationality
- How TED talks teach you stories are Trojan horses for facts
