Episode 112

Recently, Donald Trump came out as a Nationalist, and the media had a field day with it.

Accusations of dog whistles abounded. People read into it whatever they wanted. Most of the left added a silent "white" to the beginning of the word, confirming what they've always thought anyway. But is this the case?

To some people, Donald Trump is trying to put America back on top again. To others, he's trying to turn the country into Nazi Germany. So, whose version of reality is closer to the truth? And what exactly is the difference between a Nationalist and a Globalist?

Both sides seem to view the other as evil, which is often how these things work. But do both sides have valid reasons for believing what they do? That's what this week's episode is all about.

Let's look at what drives both the Nationalists and the Globalists. We'll cover the political motives, the cultural motives, and the monetary motives.

Where do you stand? Are you an evil Nationalist or an Evil Globalist? Tune in and find out.

Episode 111

Growing up, I was always a bit of an introvert, and comic books were a kind of safe haven for me.

When life got to be too much, I could always escape into the world of comics. Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, Batman and Spawn, these were my friends when the going got tough.

Pathetic? Maybe so. But I wasn't the only one. Millions of people found a similar sense of escapism in the pages of comic books. And one of the greatest people to ever write those pages was the legendary Stan Lee.

Sadly, Stan Lee passed away this week. He leaves behind a legacy and an entertainment empire. And for those with eyes to see and ears to hear, he left some pretty profound business lessons as well.

This episode is my farewell to Stan Lee, as well as some insights that he taught me on how to run a business. Tune in for some stories of my past, some stories of Stan's past, and some golden nuggets of business advice along the way.

My facebook friends have the best memes. Their meme game is strong. But how strong can a meme be?

Memes can make you laugh. They can make you think. Some might argue that meme magic swung the 2016 election. So, what makes these pictures with text so powerful?

I used to find the idea of meme magic comical. But the latest NPC meme seems to have the whole world in an uproar. It's getting mainstream coverage. It's being banned on Twitter. There's gotta be something else going on here.

This week, let's take a look at the NPC meme; where it came from, the impact it's having, and why it scares so many people. After that, let's figure out if we can harness that power in your marketing. (Hint: the answer's yes)

Episode 108

Just as one of my previous relationships was coming to an end, I dove in head first and made everything worse. The weird thing was, I was trying to make things better. But anger, spite, and jealousy took a bad situation and made it worse.

Can you relate?

As humans, we tend to double down on bad behavior. We try something, we don't get the result we wanted, so we double down and try it some more. After all, if at first, you don't succeed...

But, is this really the best way to approach life? Is it the best way to approach business? Is it the best way to approach politics?

It seems like everyone is doubling down on failure lately. Marvel Comics keeps losing customers. Democrats keep walking away. The women in my life keep leaving me. But why?

Why do we double down on bad behavior? What causes us to be this self-destructive? And how do we fix it before it destroys the things we care about for good? And what does any of this have to do with the recent Facebook Purge?

Episode 107

Imagine this; it's a crappy morning.

You wake up late for work. The alarm didn't go off. As you jump out of bed and take your first step into the hallway, your foot meets with a random lego. And that's just the beginning.

You get downstairs and turn on the coffee. You check the news about a few stocks you own, all of them down from the day before. Great, you're starting in the red for the day.

You pour your coffee and set it on the counter. Running late and stressed, you rush out the door with your coffee still sitting there. Now, you have to stop and get some garbage coffee from the convenient store.

Their coffee machine is down. You hit every red light on the way to work, and just as you're pulling in to the parking lot, you're phone starts to ring. It's your wife. "Honey, don't forget that Johnny has football practice after school, It's your turn to pick him up."

That's it... You snap. And it wasn't even a big deal that set you off.

"I've never forgotten about him before. Why would tonight be any different? Why are you always riding my ass about everything? It's too early for this shit."

Face it, you've been there. We've all been there.

People make most of their decisions based on emotions. And whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, that's the way it is. We also make most of our buying decisions based on emotions. And if you do it correctly, emotional appeals can have your market emptying their wallets on you. But if you do it wrong, those sales will dry up faster than vagina when it gets around a male feminist.

Wanna keep the sales flow, even gushing? Then you need to listen to this week's episode of the Nathan Fraser Show.
