    Lessons from the "When Life Gives You Lemons" Monologue

    Lessons from the "When Life Gives You Lemons" Monologue

    In the Netflix series "The Fall of the House of Usher," there's a monologue that delves deep into the dark heart of marketing's power over public perception. It's a chilling reminder of how easily we can be swayed, manipulated, and controlled by the relentless barrage of advertising, branding, and propaganda that saturates our everyday lives. "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade?" 
    What we consume, where we put our money is deeply personal and this monologue made me do a double take and really begin to think about the companies and the motives behind the marketing - so I just wanted to share it with you to - because for some reason I can’t shake it.

    How to Walk a Mile in Your Customers Shoes: A Story of Gillette in India

    In this episode, we unravel the remarkable story of Alberto Carvalho and his journey with Gillette in India. Carvalho faced a daunting challenge: despite technological advancements, Gillette's products were struggling to resonate with Indian consumers.
    Instead of relying solely on data and junior employees, Carvalho chose a different approach. He immersed himself in the culture, personally experiencing the daily rituals and challenges faced by Indian men.
    Carvalho's journey teaches us a powerful lesson: authenticity and empathy breed innovation. By walking in the shoes of those we serve, we gain invaluable insights that drive both product development and cultural transformation.
