The idea for this episode was inspired by a question I received from a listener asking how to apply psychological persuasion principles to resume building. So, behold, the serial position effect! Disclaimer: I've never been hired for a job that required me to submit a resume... only rejected, twice... So I'm probably not the best person to take resume advice from. However, the serial position effect is both real and at play in everyday life! The content in this episode will be valuable whether you're building a resume or not. Enjoy!

These principles can be replicated for almost any situation: public speaking, selling, recruiting, asking for a raise, etc. Enjoy! Copied below is the script for anyone that's interested in reading it: A lot of us right now are experiencing a return to freedom. We’re going to restaurants, some of us are traveling again, and we’re seeing friends and family that we haven’t seen in a really long time. That being said, there’s still an entire people group, though, that won’t experience this same freedom that we will - I’m talking about victims of human trafficking. And I don’t know about you guys, but it’s tough for me to go about my life as normal, knowing that these people are suffering.  That’s why, this November, I’m gonna do something I’ve never done before in order to raise awareness and money to help these people… I’m gonna run 50 freakin' miles. I’m calling this run the #freedomfifty and you can participate in 3 ways: Invest $50 into our campaign to help bring relief to victimsRun with me virtuallyRun with me here in DC for part or all of itSo my question to you is: are you willing to jump in on this fight with us?
