If we're going to trust our intuition, then often times, that means rejecting some of the gimmicks and hacks and cheats that others don't seem to mind using.\\n\\n \\n\\nWhy the gap in thinking? How can we make sense of that? And how does it change our behavior?\\n\\n \\n\\nToday, we go outside our echo chamber with Emily Hirshey, a writer on Ashton Kutcher's Netflix show, The Ranch. Then we hear the story of two veteran content marketers who completely rejected one of the most common -- if gimmicky -- B2B marketing tactics.\\n\\n \\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n \\n\\nLINKS TO KNOW:\\n\\n \\n\\nEmily Hirshey on Twitter: [https://twitter.com/emilyhirshey](https://twitter.com/emilyhirshey)\\n\\n \\n\\nThe Ranch on Netflix: [https://www.netflix.com/title/80077977](https://www.netflix.com/title/80077977)\\n\\n \\n\\nDave Gerhardt Twitter: [http://twitter.com/davegerhardt](http://twitter.com/davegerhardt)\\n\\n \\n\\nErik Devaney Twitter: [http://twitter.com/bardofboston](http://twitter.com/bardofboston)\\n\\n \\n\\nDrift home page: [http://drift.com](http://drift.com)\\n\\n \\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n \\n\\nWhat did you think of this episode?
