Lessons From the Fire | Through this season, I will be applying lessons that I learned from the Marshall Fire in Boulder Colorado to marketing and business development, as well as professional and personal growth. Additionally, listeners can expect to hear poignant self-revelation, interesting tidbits on human behavior in the wake of a natural disaster and economic truths about everyday occurrences.

Here are just a few of the episodes that listeners can expect to hear about in season 5 of the Behavioral Economics in Marketing podcast, Lessons From the Fire: Achieving optimal outcomes with backwards induction, Keynesian Economics and Natural Disasters, Corporate philanthropy in relation to natural disasters, Altruism vs Self Seeking Behavior in Marketing and Leadership, Zero Sum Games and Insurance, Loss Aversion and the Breakdown of Societal Norms in Response to a Natural Disaster. I will also spend quite a bit of time camping out in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as it applies to marketing and personal development.

Lessons From the Fire, Season 5 of the Behavioral Economics in Marketing podcast will be dedicated to those that along with our family lost everything in the Marshall Fire, as well as to those that have been affected by natural disasters. My hope is that listening to this season of the Behavioral Economics in Marketing podcast will help others in their healing process. But I also believe that this season will be full of marketing wisdom for marketing professionals and business leaders.
