• What we see isn’t always what it is – Alex embarked upon his journey into neuro-science almost as a spite to his elders during his college career – but ended up liking it and clearly leveraged that knowledge into a pretty darn good career and business.

• You Don’t Know What You Know Until – While working as the spa boy for his friend’s float tank business, Alex offered to help him with his digital marketing.  He started by researching the digital marketing landscape.  Getting input from the real influencers that were having success at the time.  To his surprise he realized this marketing ‘stuff’ was all his psychology and neuroscience classes rolled together to create a desired action a.k.a. Neuro marketing.

• Focus on the 6 Human Needs – Alex dropped some major knowledge here.  We need to be focused on the 6 human needs in our copy.  They are: Certainty, Novelty, Significance, Growth, Love & Connection, Contribution.  You marketing should have all of these included.
