Key takeaways:
Being able to effectively communicate your values and connect with your audience starts with understanding how and why people make decisions the way we do. The truth is: people don’t want your stuff; what they want from you means to them. In this episode, I discuss with Michael Liebowitz how the human mind drives our decisions and how we combine our information with how our brains connect to feel trust.
My question to Michael Liebowitz:
- [1:23] Can you talk about the foundation of your work around the idea that survival is a key driver of decision-making?
- [3:01] Are you referring to human survival decisions as “I have to feel that you like me” or “I have to feel that you understand me”?
- [3:29] We obviously make far fewer life and death decisions today than our ancestors mentioned – so why hasn’t our brain evolved?
- [6:10] Does this idea suggest that our marketing should become more tribal in our communication, messaging, design, etc.?
- [7:33] A line on your website says – people don’t want your stuff. What they want from you means to them. So how do we make this distinction?
- [10:33] So, when does the approach to influence shift from being real and real to manipulating?
- [12:20] What kind of information best creates what you call attraction and desire?
- [17:50] Often the primary outcome people desire is not what they say it is, or we make assumptions about what it is – how do you know or reveal the primary outcome people are after?
- [20:59] How can people learn more about your work and your master class workshops?
