The question is how do you make sure it helps, not hurts, your collection?\nIn this flagship episode, I break down the role of influence in our collecting decisions. I share how seeing other collectors’ posts, hearing their stories, or watching a new piece of content can open doors, but also how it can push us toward decisions we regret.\n\nI walk through the seven principles of influence from Dr. Robert Cialdini and explore how each shows up in the hobby. Then I share the personal three-step filter I use to slow down and make sure every move I make is really mine.\n\nThis episode is for anyone who’s ever felt the pull to collect something new, wondered if they’re chasing hype, or wanted a framework to make more intentional choices.\nYou’ll leave with:\nA better understanding of how influence really works in the hobby\nA practical filter to test every potential purchase\nClarity on the difference between influence and FOMO\nWe’re not robots—we’re collectors. Influence is real. What matters is how we respond to it.\n\nStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today\n[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this link\nFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/MBEEY6L_Eg3XlTtfD_e6LB4wbm-JGqV-0i2jbmCO4I0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEwMDA3LzE1ODc5/MTIzMzAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
