Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode #72. How Entrepreneurial Businesses Can Harvest The Science of Meaning: Semiotics, Emotion, and Customer Value With Duncan Berry
Q: Can design influence non-conscious valuation, and how should it be approached?
Yes, design translates non-conscious valuations into tangible experiences; it should focus on sensory, tactile, typographic, and aesthetic signals that cue embodied responses, with a thoughtful balance between human creativity and AI-assisted mapping of options.
Episode #72. How Entrepreneurial Businesses Can Harvest The Science of Meaning: Semiotics, Emotion, and Customer Value With Duncan Berry
Q: What is abductive inference, and how does it apply to consumer decision-making?
Abductive inference is forming best-guess explanations under limited knowledge about future satisfaction, and it explains how people test signals and stories to anticipate value, guiding their willingness to try something new based on imagined outcomes.
Primal Intelligence: How Entrepreneurs Create Value in Uncertainty with Angus Fletcher
Q: Tell us about the four pillars of Primal Intelligence.
The four pillars are intuition, imagination, common sense, and emotion. Intuition identifies emergent opportunities, imagination expands and multiplies potential plans, common sense helps select the best path, and emotion tunes which plan aligns with a company's character and current context.
Episode #78. The Future of Customer Experience Design: Integrating Emotion, Empathy, and Data with Sujay Saha
Q: What is the ultimate goal of Return on Experience (ROX)?
ROX is a system to quantify and manage the efficacy of the experience-led architecture, tying customer and employee experiences to the business value and through-line from investments to outcomes.
Episode #78. The Future of Customer Experience Design: Integrating Emotion, Empathy, and Data with Sujay Saha
Q: Do the same CX principles apply to B2B and B2C, or do you need a different mindset?
There are shared fundamentals (tangible and intangible factors), but B2B and B2C differ in relationship depth, decision-making processes, and risk, requiring different emphasis in architecture and governance.
