Do you remember any of the commercials you saw during Super Bowl LVII? Did any of them influence your opinions or buying decisions? Yeah, we didn’t think so. This year, the cost of airing a 30-second commercial during the Big Game was $7 million. But, does it still work? Is it still a worthwhile investment for the businesses that can afford it? Albert and Steph debate this topic and talk about other marketing strategies that they’re bullish on for 2023. --- Questions, suggestions, or thoughts?

When NASA looked to measure the creative potential of its engineers, it developed a test to identify creativity and divergent thinking. The results showed that only 2% of those who took the test passed at the creative genius level. This same test was given to a group of 4 and 5-year-olds, and the results were shocking. An astounding 98% of these children were rated creative geniuses. What do young children have that NASA engineers don’t? And what can we learn from existing in a childlike state of play? In this episode, Albert and Steph discuss this study, these questions, and their takes on the education system. Questions, suggestions, or thoughts?
