The Amazing YouTube Success Story & Why We Behave the Way We Do
15 Sep 2022
Your mother told you not to lie. After all, lying is dishonest. More importantly, it may also be bad for your health. This episode begins by revealing why telling the truth could help prevent you from getting sick. http://research.nd.edu/news/32485-study-telling-fewer-lies-linked-to-better-health-relationships/ How did YouTube go from being a simple dating site to the biggest video sharing service in the world that generates billions of dollars in ad revenue each year? How did it happen that many ordinary people have become wealthy superstars simply by creating and uploading videos to YouTube? Joining me to tell the phenomenal story of YouTube’s rapid growth and financial success is business journalist Mark Bergen author of the book Like, Comment, Subscribe: Inside YouTube’s Chaotic Rise to World Domination (https://amzn.to/3erOSvM). What drives your behavior? Is it nature or nurture – or both? Are all your behaviors the result of conscious thought or instinct? What compels you to behave the way you do? Here with some fascinating insight into the origins of our behavior and the behavior of all creatures on earth is Marlene Zuk. Marlene is professor of ecology, evolution, and behavior at the University of Minnesota, and author of the book Dancing Cockatoos and the Dead Man Test: How Behavior Evolves and Why It Matters (https://amzn.to/3cOtTmz).
