    Stop Believing You’re in Full Control. Your Brain Might Be Working for Someone Else!Guest: Matt Johnson, PHD.Are you truly in control of your decisions? Or are you being subtly guided by forces you do not fully understand?In this deeply insightful episode of the Mixed Emotions Podcast, Mihir Oka sits down with Matt Johnson, PhD, a globally recognized neuroscientist and expert in consumer psychology, to explore the hidden mechanics of human behavior, the mystery of consciousness, and the powerful influence of marketing on our choices.The conversation moves beyond the surface, uncovering how neuronal patterns, predictive processing, and contextual triggers shape our desires, decisions, and perceptions.🤯 Could it be that brands are engineering the “serendipitous” moments you believe are purely chance?🤔 Do you genuinely have free will, or are your decisions pre-determined by neural processes and environmental factors?This episode challenges assumptions, bringing together insights from neuroscience, philosophy, and ethical marketing to explain how businesses can connect with consumers on a deeper, more meaningful level, without crossing the line into manipulation.Key Insights from the Episode:1️⃣ The Neuroscience of Human BehaviorHow your brain’s neuronal firing patterns predict choices before you are even aware of them.Why certain psychological states, such as jealousy or happiness, are more about neural interactions than conscious decisions.2️⃣ Marketing’s Deeper PurposeMarketing as an exchange of value that builds genuine relationships between consumers and brands.How successful brands enhance lives by creating products and experiences that feel inherently meaningful.3️⃣ The Illusion of Free WillIf our decisions are influenced by prior causation and context, do we truly have free will?Insights into determinism, consciousness, and the psychological illusion of autonomy.4️⃣ The Role of Consciousness in Consumer BehaviorUnderstanding predictive processing, where the brain continuously forecasts and experiences future states.How our sense of self is shaped by unconscious neural predictions and how marketers can tap into these processes.5️⃣ Ethical Considerations in MarketingThe fine line between persuasion and coercion. When does marketing cross ethical boundaries?Why transparency and authenticity are essential for maintaining consumer trust.6️⃣ The Power of SerendipityHow brands engineer “happy accidents” that create stronger emotional connections.The science of engineered serendipity and its role in building consumer loyalty.7️⃣ Brand vs. Product FocusWhile products solve immediate problems, brands create long-term emotional resonance.How a strong brand allows businesses to adapt, pivot, and introduce new products seamlessly.Time Stamps(00:00) Understanding Neuronal Patterns(01:14) Introduction to the Mixed Emotions Podcast(02:32) Scott’s Background and Expertise(03:14) The Intersection of Neuroscience and Marketing(04:12) Exploring Human Behavior and Psychological States(13:51) The Mystery of Consciousness(23:40) Free Will and Human Autonomy(31:42) The Role of Context and Circumstance(38:35) The Concept of Serendipity(43:16) Engineering Serendipitous Experiences(44:12) The Ethics of Serendipitous Marketing(44:47) Experiments in Creating Serendipity(46:10) Challenges in Digital Serendipity(50:38) Consumer Psychology in B2B vs. B2C(58:34) The Role of Branding in Business Success(01:06:47) Marketing Ethics and Consumer Trust(01:12:00) The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health(01:14:25) The Power of a Great Brand(01:17:53) Innovative Marketing Strategies(01:19:29) Final Thoughts and ReflectionsCreate experiences that resonate with the deepest parts of the human mind.
