  • There’s a podcast (Under the Influence) about the world of marketing I listen to because it’s fascinating to learn about the people who’s job is to try and influence you. The podcast did an episode about anti-heroes that you might find interesting. One of the ideas presented is that brands often would identify with heroes (Eg. Mr. Clean), but the rise of the anti hero in popular culture had effects in marketing as well.

    A Dodge Colt with a horrible manual transmission. Years later I bought a Veloster with manual transmission because shifting was so incredibly smooth compared to what I trained on, and I learned that manual can be pretty fun. I have an automatic now but often use the manual shifter to downshift when going down steep hills or sometimes just to use my brakes less when approaching a red light.
