Great interview -- enjoyed the impromptu analysis of Rory's storytelling style
I’m having strong reactions (enough to make a comment) about this man. I have seen 2 interviews with him this week. I can see why younger generations of people interested in advertising and marketing think he’s a genius. He’s got good stories and what we could call “The Knowledge” as it applies to his business. However, I think his brand of quirky, razz-matzah showmanship is what his secret sauce is. I’m 62 and grew up with a father who was a very successful businessman in NYC and NJ advertising. He told me some of these exact same stories when I was in high school, almost 50 years ago! The cake mix needing the egg is a classic (and was already a classic when my father told me). I’m surprised he didn’t bring up the fact that even with the lovely, sweet and minty flavor of Scope mouthwash, it is just as effective at killing bad breath germs as the horrid, tongue-burning Listerine, but consumers FEEL like it can’t work as well because it doesn’t burn your mouth. The thing that I find truly disturbing about him is his pride in supposedly getting regulations for vape cigarettes to be kept more minimal. In the other podcast I saw, he came right out and said it was the thing he was most proud of in his career. He said this to Ali Abdul who, as I’m sure you know, is a doctor! Even more egregious, he claimed that he didn’t know why America had come down on Juul. THERE IS NO WAY that he doesn’t know why! He must not be as proud as he claims given that, as we all know, Juul and other vape brands were targeting their marketing to children and teenagers with candy flavors. They were luring kids into a habit that is dangerous and destructive. A habit that he himself cannot seem to control for the length of your interview. It seems obvious to me that he knows that at least some portion of what he says and does is a con, since he raised the question in your interview. Perhaps the most telling thing that came out of his mouth is something most people probably didn’t notice. He mentioned, “He met me …” Have you ever referred to meeting someone in this way? Very few people (perhaps only narcissists) would refer to the situation in that manner. I’m sure YOU would say, “When I met…” or possibly, When we met…” But saying “when he met me…” was very revealing. I’m sure, as he mentioned himself, that he is great at connecting people in his “Rolodex.” And having been in the business myself, I would bet he is an A+ pitch thrower. I find him clever in how he crafts what he says to toss aside the criticisms he knows he might get with preemptive strikes, but at some point, the answer to his question does become, “Yes, it’s a con.” That all said, a lot of great wisdom that has been around for literally generations is highly valuable for new people to hear.
Rory is magnificent at answering six questions before a single question has been asked!

Fantastic comment!
These are the sort of CEO insights that made me love the channel. You cannot get this experience without absorbing it from extremely talented individuals, with the right experience and who are willing to share their knowledge. You making the effort to find these people and share their insights is fantastic. Recently a lot of videos seem to focus on psychology and childhood of the guests, which I’m sure many people enjoy, but those videos often don’t provide these sort of tangible and memorable insights that this video nails. Real return to form for me!

There's "Rory Sutherland's On Brand"
This one podcast episode has single handedly re-discovered what meaning of providing intelligible, useful, practical, and thought provoking insights on marketing, branding and business than any one’s whole podcast/channel/body of work drops in a year or at all. Congrats sir you have re earthed the meaning of providing unquestionable value vs providing meaningless unasked for political/social views and tired regurgitated positivity messages like all other “business channels” do nowadays. Seriously, Thank you!

He is so such a fast thinker and I relate to that, but you really kept him grounded, feeling him back in like..."yeah but answer the question dude" 🤣🤣🤣😂😂 AND in such a direct way! And it wasn't rude at all; I'm glad you did because you asked AMAZING Questions PARTICULARLY about communication ability, personal branding, etc. My fav part? At the beginning when Rory said you'll reserve the mutual fanboying for later 🤣😂🤣😂 I love a funny, brilliant, lighthearted soul more than anything!

In my most humble opinion, this has to be one of the most fascinating, interesting, insightful, and thought-provoking conversational interviews I've seen and heard in many a year. I'd never heard of Rory Sutherland before i stumbled upon this video. Well done Steve for inviting him onto your show.
“Where’s the taxi? Oh he’s stuck at those traffic lights, I’ll have another pint!” Just yes. I’m hooked already 🙌🏼 💕
54 minutes in and so far I’ve learnt so much more - in terms of marketing psychology & strategy - listening to you two gentleman converse, than I have from spending hours studying marketing through a reputable education provider. What a fantastic conversation, thank you both very much.
Totally agree with Rory’s point about a lot of e-retail making everything slick up the point of sale, but then making the experience after sale, cancellation and returning of items etc as difficult as possible - in his words, like “entering a world of pain”.
I can listen to Rory all day and think I will listen again to this one tomorrow. I thought I spent too much time thinking but Rory has opened my eyes to thinking more and in different ways. Who is John Cleese, classic generational question

As an Ad man I'm not ashamed to admit that I gave this a thumbs up within a minute. I love the psychology of marketing and advertising. Lovely stuff!
The best Diary of a CEO yet... bloody loved this Stephen... Rory is just next level thinking.
Might be my favourite podcast yet. Certainly the one that I’ve gained most insight from, in a business sense. Incredible. His thoughts on e-commerce are fascinating. Keep em coming Steven your hard work and dedication to the pod is showing through more and more.
I am 18 minutes in and I love this guy, amazing energy, amazing information and great communicator/ perspectives, I would love for him to be involved in my start up, a very interesting man and hilarious.
Rory Sutherland has finessed the art of balancing Style, Tone, Volume and Pace which is clearly very natural for him to do no doubt having made the conscious effort to understand the impact of such balance over time. His knowledge of subject has great depth which of course helps but style of delivery is what he is a pro at.

This is one of the best interviews that I have watched on this channel. The depth and breadth of knowledge packed into this interview is amazing. The interview was engaging from beginning to end. Keep up the great work.
LOL I have binged a ton of your episodes as of late and as much as I adore Rory Sutherland and have religiously watched every one of his TED Talks over the last several years I think you may have had just as effective an interview if he were sat across from a mirror! Hahaha phenomenal, world-class job at utilizing patience and silence and interjecting when possible to try to heard the cats
This is why i love this channel so much. I would never had heard of Rory other than listening to him here and he was totally awesome and captivating. I have ordered the book. Have to say the quality of guests lately has been superb.
I could watch this 15 times in a row without any problem. Best marketing lesson ever!
Mr Sutherland has a brilliant mind. 👌🏾
Multi-level fascination. Easily the smartest conversation on marketing that I have listened to. If I had power, I would mandate this content be reviewed by everyone in business school or who has an interest in business marketing. Its a masterpiece.

100 percent true about answering the darn phone and not hiding a phone number. You do this to me, no matter how much I may love your products, I'm done with you and you can expect an immediate return with no further business coming your way. If you can't be bothered to service the sale, I can't be bothered to purchase from you.
Rory is brilliant as usual. Learning from his KZread presence for years now.
The difference between Rory and most other smart people :other people can see clearly why a marketing strategy works after the Sale, but Rory can see it before!

Oookay! This is now my favorite episode yet. Absolutely enjoyed every second of this. Also, love Steven's honesty with signaling.

Without doubt the best guest you've ever had on this podcast.
“Once you’re rational, you’re predictable. Once you’re predictable, you can be hacked.” I love this. I’ll be using this in my Professional Review at work to explain my temper hahaha
Best one yet, so so interesting! The story around the life cycle of the cheddar cheese rind really made me laugh. We really can’t help ourselves wanting what we can’t get and love a product cycle! Keep up the great work, and sending support from the little town of Bude in Cornwall!
I love this Guy! He deflected all requests to delved in to his personal life and what made him successful. Great insight in to Branding & Marketing
Thank you for providing us with such multidimensional knowledge, Steven!

Loving this podcast, feels so informal & comfortable ... Rory has a real rambling storytelling vibe that makes me want to stay put, relax, listen & learn without even realising I am. Great qualities 👌
It’s incredible that we get to hear from such extreme experts for 1.5h could have been 5 and a half. Absolutely loved it 👍🏻
Absolutely loved this episode! So interesting. If I was a CEO I'd have Rory consulting for me every week.
This was more of a monologue rather than an interview. A+ patience and regaining control of the conversation by honing in on the conversation itself. Steven. A+
