The Fan Formula: World-Renowned Social Scientist Dan Ariely on Fans, Brands, and Engagement
In this episode of The Transaction Report, we sit down with Dan Ariely — renowned behavioral economist, bestselling author, and professor at Duke University — to explore the psychology behind fandom, value, and why we buy in. From saving habits in the slums of Kenya to emotional loyalty in Yankee Stadium, Dan unpacks the invisible forces that shape human behavior in sports and beyond. We dive into everything from what truly makes someone a “real fan,” to how sponsors can create deeper emotional connections, why memorabilia holds irrational value, and how teams can make effort more visible to drive lasting engagement. This one’s a masterclass in meaning, identity, and the economics of emotion.
