Intuition and Influence in the Digital Age
Manage episode 500972329 series 2317178
A wide-ranging episode featuring Mark Devine and Tony Blauer as we explore the power of intuition—from sensing danger in self-defense to reading subtle social cues in daily life. We then dive into how social media has redefined fame, examining the antics of Elon Musk and Kevin Durant to show how platforms manufacture virality and blur the line between notoriety and influence. Shifting gears, we unpack marketing’s obsession with buzz over clarity, using American Eagle’s Sydney Sweeney campaign as a case study, and discuss Gen Z’s workplace challenges with feedback and fundamentals. We round out with humorous takes on persistent sales tactics and Mark Zuckerberg’s martial arts pursuits, blending insight, critique, and a dash of levity.
