Times Change for New York’s Annoying Street Performers | Have you Experienced the Bystander Effect? | Working Out in Jeans, or How to Disrupt an Industry.
This week:
If you've ever been to NYC, you've most likely had a run-in with a street performer. You know what I'm talking about - Elmo takes a picture with you and then wants a quick buck for his time. But who's under the mask? And did the pandemic change this fringe "acting industry" forever?
The bystander effect is a social psychological theory that says you are less likely to offer help to a victim when there are other people around. Oh, that's juicy. We discuss.
Free pizza, no judgment, plenty of workout equipment, and purple - TONS of purple. We're talking Planet Fitness! Has the gym marketed for people that don't like the gym hurt the gym industry? (that's a ton of gyms)
