LESSONS FROM THE WILD WEST

Page 16: The Science of Audience Engagement

The lone cowboy waited patiently on the edge of the ravine. He was outnumbered, but he was the only hope that stood between the looters and rustlers that headed toward the small, peaceful prairie town. As the gang of outlaws thundered into the pass between the craggy rocks of the ravine, the cowboy lay hidden, perched among the dirt and rocks at the edge of the rocky ridge. The cowboy watched the dust rise as the outlaws’ horses thundered into the pass. He took careful aim, but he did not try to shoot all the riders. The cowboy’s rifle was aimed at tiny mirrors that he had set along the trail through the pass. Under each mirror, he had buried a bundle of dynamite, deep in the dirt. As the cowboy fired, he had only to hit near the mirror to unleash an explosion, one after another, through the ravine.

COGNTIVE DISCONNECTS

I’m lazy

I use shortcuts

I assume others are the same as me

I use what I know best -- me

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.

WHAT’S THE RIGHT QUESTION?
