What happens when a CEO suggests using marketing tactics that everyone considers obsolete? Gee Ranasinha's clients thought he'd lost his mind - until the results came in.
The award-winning agency CEO serving 400+ startups across 20 countries has built his reputation on one radical principle: when everyone zigs, he zags. His contrarian approach recently shocked an Atlanta tech company struggling to reach older customers. While competitors pushed expensive digital solutions, Gee's team proposed something so "outdated" that executives initially refused to consider it.
The outcome? Performance numbers that made their previous campaigns look embarrassing.
But Gee's unconventional wisdom goes deeper than surprising tactics. He's making bold claims about AI that contradict Silicon Valley's biggest promises. Why does he believe 90% of AI marketing claims are "absolute BS"? Which specific applications actually deliver results, and which ones are destroying authentic customer connections?
Drawing from behavioral economics and his role as visiting professor, Gee reveals why consensus-seeking kills innovation and how emotional triggers trump logical arguments every time. His philosophy challenges everything most agencies believe about modern marketing.
What's the "dinosaur" strategy that's outperforming cutting-edge technology? How does understanding human psychology unlock marketing breakthroughs that data alone can't achieve? And why might your most controversial idea be exactly what your business needs?
Discover the counterintuitive methods revolutionizing how smart companies connect with customers.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
