The Daniel Karim Podcast

Grief is an emotional avalanche that we all know all too well... It's the invisible hand around our throat that suffocates the joy out of our lungs when our favorite person leaves us prematurely. It's the widening of our eyes that occurs when we receive that one phone call that informs us that our life as we know isn't there anymore. It's the numbness in our fingers after we lost something or someone that meant the world to us. But why precisely do we feel loss physically? I didn't know the answer to that question before I reached out to Dr. Dorothy P. Holinger - one of the world-leading experts in grief. Dr. Holinger knows a thing or two about the emotional and physical suffering that occurs when love is taken away from us... Dr. Holinger was an academic psychologist on the faculty of Harvard Medical School for more than twenty years and in her private psychotherapy practice, she helped countless souls to cope with death and separation, and other life catastrophes. Dr. Holinger is a personal hero of mine and she is one of the individuals who inspired me to create a grief department at the university that I'm currently building - this interview is a must listen and I highly recommend that you check out Dr. Holinger's work afterward.

Why I Wanted To Learn From Dr. Aziza Yaser One of the most fun parts of my life is to go online and to connect with people who also want to help individuals to live more meaningful lives - this is precisely how I stumbled over the work of Dr. Aziza Yaser on Instagram. Yes, ladies and gents - Instagram can also be used productively. I was scrolling through mental health hashtags while I suddenly found a young but very talented mental health expert who just happened to come from a country I've never been to - Bahrain. After devouring most of her beautifully written poetic mental health posts I've reached out to her and asked her: What's it like to be a therapist in the middle east? That question was the beginning of a curative online friendship between two people who love to bring out the best in others.

The 18th episode of The Psychology Podcast with Daniel Karim features the world-leading shopping psychology expert Siemon Scamell-Katz and author of the bestseller The Art of Shopping.  Why Did I Want To Learn From Siemon Scamell-Katz? I reached out to Siemon Scamell-Katz shortly after I created my first product - Planniness, a journal that was designed to help people live more balanced and stressfree lives.  My team and I put a great deal of effort into the invention of this behavior technology and we were excited to get feedback from customers so that we could create an even better journal out of it, so we uploaded it to amazon and waited... and waited... and waited.  After one entire month, we had one sale, and that sale came from my mother( shout out to you mom for always believing in me x). That month taught me something - no matter how good the product, people need to learn that it exists.  I knew that in order to help people to change their behavior at the scale I first need to understand how to reach them.  Being the lazy bastard that I am, I reached out to one of the foremost authorities in the field of shopping psychology in order to understand why people buy stuff.  Why learn everything yourself if you can just ask people who already have the answer to your problem right!?🤷🏻‍♂️ That expert was Siemon Scamell-Katz, the author of the bestseller - The Art of shopping. Siemon was one of the very first practitioners of shopper research, being the first in the world to conduct eye-tracking in-store, to research shopper behavior in Virtual Reality, and to conduct shopper marketing fMRI and eye-tracking studies. This man isn't an expert, he is a pioneer who invested decades of his life into observing us, filming us, and tracking our eye movements in order to predict when people buy. Whether you are a producer who sells stuff or a customer who buys stuff, the information that Siemon collected is pure gold and this Podcast is a must-listen.
