Are you making all your financial decisions alone? Feeling overwhelmed by inflation, debt, and everyday money struggles? You're not alone—and this conversation will change how you think about your financial future.
Think you're making rational buying decisions? Think again. In this eye-opening conversation, marketing veteran and behavioral science expert Gee Ranasinha reveals why 95% of marketing fails—and it's not because of bad products or services. Gee has spent 18+ years helping over 400 businesses in 20+ countries crack the code on what drives sales. As CEO of Kexino and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, he's teaching MBA students (and now you) the uncomfortable truth: your customers aren't buying based on logic, features, or price comparisons. They're buying based on unconscious biases, emotional triggers, and mental shortcuts they don't even realize they're using.
