It seems like no time at all since we did the last podcast wrapup… but here we are with 10 more episodes of The Brainfluence Podcast. Each podcast has a full text transcript, too, in case you prefer to read or want to grab a particular quote.
Our very first in-person podcast was taped, so to speak, on the campus of the University of Texas here in Austin. Our guest was Dr. Art Markman. He is the Annabel Irion Worsham Centennial Professor of Psychology and Marketing, and, despite the imposing title, has a knack for translating science into understandable terms. His book Smart Change: Five Tools to Create New and Sustainable Habits in Yourselfand Others
If you are in business, you probably have competition. While the last thing you may think of doing is talking about them, sometimes it can be a great technique to build customer loyalty. In fact, the legendary Steve Jobs used this approach many times to build Apple into the global brand it is today. In a solo podcast, I explain Ep #22: Why Every Business Needs an Enemy.
Who is the world’s first Chief Content Officer? If you guessed Ann Handley of Marketing Profs, you’d be right. Ann shares her insights on paying attention to your community, collaborative writing, using stories for business, and people’s love-hate relationship with writing. Check out Ep #23: Creating Compelling Content with Ann Handley.
What do green marketing and luxury marketing have in common? And what do people really desire?

It’s all in Ep #24 – What Your Customers Really Desire with Anna Simpson.

A new book by by Scott Stratten is always a treat, so we were excited to read UnSelling: The New Customer Experience
This is a solo session covering sensory marketing and how you can get beyond the visual in connecting with customers. I spoke about the topic in my opening speech at Neuromarketing in Retail 2014 in Amsterdam, and Ep #28: Shopper Marketing Meets Sensory Marketing recaptures that in podcast form.
