Our guest this week, Sandra Matz PhD exposes the truth behind our online presence. In our conversation, Sandra reveals that with simple analytics, the digital footprints we leave behind online (our Facebook Likes, our credit card transactions, our Google Map searches) add up to paint a very revealing picture of our personality and state of mind.

Sandra Matz PhD is an associate professor at Columbia Business School. She takes a Big Data approach to studying human behaviour. Her methodologies use psychology, computer science and data collection to explore the relationships between people’s psychological characteristics and their digital footprints. 

Sandra’s work has been published in top-tier journals such as Psychological Science and the American Psychologist, and has attracted worldwide media attention from outlets like the Independent, the BBC, CNBC, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, and the World Economic Forum.

Our discussion delves into Sandra’s experience around social media profiles, digital ethics, data privacy and our understanding of informed consent. As always we find out about our guest’s musical taste but this week we even find out what our musical preferences can reveal about our personality and social identities. 

We hope you enjoy our discussion with Sandra Matz PhD, and if you do, please leave us a quick review or join our Patreon team at https://www.patreon.com/behavioralgrooves.

“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out. The only criticism I would have is that after each podcast I usually want to buy the book because I am interested so my poor wallet suffers. ” — Gareth

Ep. 89: Dick Vitale and Jim Valvano shaped this business icon. Michael spent 33 years climbing the ladder at Xerox before OfficeMax hired him as Executive Vice President where he led a $3.6 billion dollar division. In 2012, he was named Chairman and CEO of the nutrition and weight loss company, Medifast. Under his leadership, Medifast's stock rose from $4 to $218 per share.

I knew Michael would be the perfect guest after reading his book From the Bench to the Boardroom. In the promotions for the book, Duke's Coach Mike Krzyzewski described him as persistent and determined even in his current role as a board member of the V Foundation.

Two years after the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, Glenn sits down with one of the biggest victims of the other pandemic it ushered in: censorship. Dr. Robert Malone invented the original mRNA vaccine technology in 1987 when he was a 28-year-old graduate student. As a high-level scientist, he’s been involved in the response to every major outbreak since AIDS. But more recently, he's been permanently suspended from Twitter and banned from LinkedIn. And his appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience" triggered Neil Young so much that the musician requested that Spotify pull his music — all because Dr. Malone would rather speak freely than toe the approved line. But on this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Glenn challenges you, his audience, to ask Dr. Malone anything — censorship-free. Dr. Malone walks Glenn through all the complicated science behind mRNA vaccines, where he believes COVID-19 came from, and what he believes should have been done differently over the past two years. He also offers insight into the modern propaganda machine that has corrupted the scientific community.
