Have you ever noticed the moment you no longer need a specific piece of information it seems to get deleted from your memory forever? What about the opposite phenomenon of never being able to forget something (or someone) you wish you could? Turns out there’s a name for that. It’s called “The Zeigarnik Effect” and we are going to talk all about it with Dr. Ritchie Sheridan, the Chair of the Psychology department at William Carey University.

In this week’s episode, Dr. Sheridan educates us on the Zeigarnik Effect, a psychological phenomenon (named after Soviet psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik) where incomplete topics are more easily remembered than completed ones. We explore the Effect’s relevance to various aspects of life, including business partnerships, personal relationships, and memory in general. The discussion touches on the importance of closure, conflict resolution, and the reconstructive nature of human memory. And for all of you hopeless romantics out there, we may very well have a psychological explanation for that feeling of “the one that got away”.

This week’s episode features an interview with Jacoby Broadnax and Damion Dehart, cofounders of the food delivery comparison app, FoodScout! Both Mississippi tech entrepreneurs, Jacoby and Damion were kind enough to transparently share their bumpy journey of building and pitching several different tech projects until ultimately arriving with their current product.

They share some invaluable lessons learned from earlier ventures along with their experience in an accelerator program that resulted in awards and investor interest. The interview highlights their resilience and emphasizes the importance of market validation, lean development, and embracing constructive criticism – an episode that our listeners won’t want to miss!
