In this episode of the Marketing Misfits, Kevin King and Norm Farrar sit down with DTC consultant and behavioral science expert, Sarah Levinger. Sarah reveals the unspoken, often dark psychological triggers that drive modern consumerism.

We dive deep into why Gen Z believes they will never be wealthy, how AI is fundamentally changing the way our brains process information, and why legacy brands are destroying their legacies by forcing themselves into the wrong conversations. If you want to understand the true subconscious matrix of consumerism and how tools like Tether Insights are decoding it...

This is a masterclass you cannot afford to miss! You'll learn:

The Gen Z Hopelessness Matrix
Decoding the Subconscious Consumer
The 3 Psychological Selves
The 12 Universal Marketing Avatars
The Danger of the Unending AI Loop
Why the AIDA Framework is Dead

Brand Identity Disasters: How massive legacy brands like Budweiser and Jaguar alienated their core audiences by trying to hack a cultural conversation they didn't belong in (and why Dove's "Like a Girl" campaign succeeded).
