1. The Power of Emotional Triggers  

• James' book, "Brain Glue," dives into the psychology of selling, proving that emotions sell better than logic.
• One of his key discoveries is that our brains are wired to respond to certain triggers - like metaphors, rhymes, and alliteration - that make messages memorable and impactful.

2. Lesson 1: Metaphors Make Ideas Stick  

• A metaphor can transform how people perceive a product or service. Think of the classic anti-drug campaign:  
• "This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs." (with the egg sizzling in a pan)  
• That simple metaphor had more impact than any logical argument. 
  
  

3. Lesson 2: The Power of Strong Names  

• Would "Men, Women, and Relationships" have sold 50 million copies? Probably not. But when John Gray rebranded his book as "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus," it became a global bestseller overnight.  
• Similarly, Kellogg’s "Pop-Tarts" crushed Post Cereals’ "Country Squares"- proving that a strong, emotionally engaging name can mean the difference between massive success or total failure.  

4. Lesson 3: Rhyme and Alliteration Boost Sales  

• Ever noticed why brands like Coca-Cola, Best Buy, PayPal, and TikTok sound so catchy? It’s because repetition of sound makes names more memorable.  
• James shares the story of "Squatty Potty," a simple toilet stool that went from zero to 100 million dollars in sales just because of its fun, catchy name. 
  
  

5. Applying Brain Glue to Your Business  

• Use Metaphors Think: "My product is just like…" and make it creative  
• Leverage Rhyma: A little poetry can make your brand unforgettable  
• Use Alliteration: Like "PayPal" or "Best Buy," rhythmic names grab attention 
  
  

6. Final Takeaway from James I. Bond  

• "Your mind is like a parachute - it works better when it's open."  
• Metaphors, emotional hooks, and catchy phrasing aren’t tricks - they’re how our brains are naturally wired. If you’re not using them in your branding, marketing, or sales, you’re leaving money on the table.
