I bet you have had someone design a logo or brochure or website for you and then when they show you what they did, they ask, “What do you think”? It has happened to me several times and the problem is, I don’t know what to think. I don’t know what makes a well-designed brochure or website. I don’t know what other people will think when they see it or what motivates people to respond. If this has happened to you, you’ll want to hear my guest Susan Weinschenk. Susan has a Ph.D. in Psychology, she is the Chief Behavioral Scientist and CEO at The Team W, Inc. (https://theteamw.com/) as well as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Wisconsin. She is also author of the book 100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People (https://amzn.to/323kNKK).

Joining me to explain the science of conversation is David Crystal. David is a writer and editor, and his latest book is called Let’s Talk: How English Conversation Works (https://amzn.to/32e4qLF).
