#22 - Coke, New Coke, and Your Fear of Being Boring

Stop entertaining yourself with novelty and start getting comfortable with repeating yourself...a lot
  • Episode’s a day late (thought Wednesday was Tuesday)

  • Repetition is key in business (shocker)

  • The Coca-Cola branding example (again)

  • Remember Clear Coke? Crystal Pepsi? Why tho

  • New Coke: nobody asked for it

  • Cherry Coke existed at soda fountains forever

  • Yoga teachers think they need constant novelty

  • Your nervous system likes predictability actually

  • Novelty ≠ how people learn at depth

  • “This product is refreshing when you’re thirsty”

  • Yoga teachers say things ONCE and move on

  • Syllabus details don’t move people to sign up

  • Did you research your YTT syllabus? No you didn’t

  • The public speaking fear nobody addresses

  • You need to see ads for MONTHS before buying

  • Remember TV commercials during breaks? Yeah

  • Same sequence = most popular yoga style (there’s a reason)

  • You’re changing classes to entertain yourself

  • Stop using yoga buzzwords to explain yoga

  • “Could you explain it without saying ‘embodied’?”

  • Fear of being annoying = about YOU not THEM

  • D2R is on round 16 (still not bored)

  • Said the same thing for years in different words

  • The mindset under the need for novelty

  • Insecurity masquerading as “keeping it fresh”

  • Big announcement coming (mindset + philosophy thing)
