Talking points: culture, marketing, relationships

I consider it an achievement to have Tad on the show. He's a soulful and wise person who can cut through the BS quickly—and do it kindly, no less. We sat down to discuss the parallels in ethically presenting your case in both the business and dating realms. You'll be surprised at how similar some aspects are!

(00:00:00) - How is dating an extension of marketing?

(00:13:24) - The meaning of “gauging” a potential partner, and what to look for

(00:19:57) - On sunk cost, grief, people pleasing, and our fear of risk

(00:27:17) - Is there a connection between fear of approach and polarization?

(00:34:43) - How is AI going to change how we market 

(00:47:33) - What are the key implementations of ethical marketing?

Tad Hargrave is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned to be a hippy again).  Since 2001, he has been weaving together strands of ethical marketing, Waldorf School education, a history in the performing arts, local culture making, anti-globalization activism, an interest in his ancestral, traditional cultures, community building and supporting local economies into his work helping people create profitable businesses that are ethically grown while restoring the beauty of the marketplace.
