Today we’re sharing an episode of The Hustle Daily Show — a daily dose of irreverent, offbeat, and informative takes on business & tech news. In this episode, they take a look at how getting stuff for “free” affects consumer behavior.Why do we care so much when a crummy t-shirt gets shot out of a cannon at a sporting event? It's all about the power of "free," a price point that makes us feel high and act so irrationally that we forget that even free stuff comes with a cost.And to really get at the heart of the story here, Hustle writers Zachary Crockett and Mark Dent focus on 3 wildly different areas: free grocery store samples, free shipping, and free online content.If you like what you hear, search for The Hustle Daily Show in your favorite podcast app. Like the one you’re using right now ;)SUBSCRIBEYouTube | Apple Podcast | Spotify | Podcast Feed Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
