Have you ever wondered how “those people” can be “soooo stupid”? Or how they can “possibly believe that”? One part of the answer is SOCIAL PROOF. We humans are social animals, and at a “base-level” (at our core), we are aware that our perspective on life, living and being is […]
TELLER IS KIND OF A GENIUS by Rockin’ Eco Hero – Steve Trash Personal confession here … podcasts are very, very popular, but I just don’t like them. I participate in them when asked to be a guest and do my best to answer truthfully. I try to bring some […]
