Ever wonder why some slogans, product names or ads stick in your head while others fade away? James I. Bond does, and he's written a book about it called Brain Glue. In today's episode, he shares:

  • Why some ads make you flinch
  • How a clever name can turn a copycat product into a goldmine 
  • Why men might want to buy a "Lawnmower" for their bathroom
  • How fire helped a company boost its business
  • Why rhyming, honesty and being blunt are good messaging strategies

These concepts and more stick to our brains because they connect to it where decisions really happen.
