One of my favorite podcasts to listen to, rather than host, is Hidden Brain with Shakar Vidantam. The NPR offering produces fascinating stories of the human mind and how it works, how we make decisions and the like. Last week, Vidantam interviewed Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert. And the psychology that fuels influencer marketing became apparent to me.

Give a listen to my Friday food-for-thought podcast as I explain why we should all be investing in influencer marketing and plan on doing so for a long time. It’s human nature to respond to it and Gilbert’s expertise helped me see why.

Hidden Brain can be found at npr.org/hiddenbrain. Dan Gilbert’s book is available on Amazon and wherever you buy books.
