Après plus de vingt ans d'attente, le Grand Musée égyptien s'apprête enfin à ouvrir ses portes ce samedi 1ᵉʳ novembre. Bien plus qu'un événement national, l'inauguration du plus grand musée archéologique du monde, situé au pied des pyramides, rassemblera un parterre de chefs d'État venus des quatre coins du monde et des centaines de journalistes. À la tête de cette mise en scène pharaonique du prestige égyptien, le président Abdel Fattah Al-Sissi compte faire briller l'image de son pays. De notre correspondant au Caire, Mohamed, la vingtaine, habite tout près des pyramides et du musée dont l'ouverture approche à grands pas. Un événement qui lui passe un peu au-dessus. « Hmm, ça ne m'intéresse pas vraiment. Peut-être que je regarderai la cérémonie avec les enfants à la télévision… et les feux d'artifice depuis le toit de l'immeuble », déclare Mohamed. À Kafr Nassar, ce quartier poussiéreux aux portes du désert, tout est prêt depuis une semaine. Les habitants s'organisent, comme ce tenancier de café coincé entre deux axes routiers. « La rocade va être fermée, toutes les routes qui mènent au musée aussi. Le président Al-Sissi attend des invités de marque », explique-t-il.  Un événement mondial Soixante chefs d'État attendus, des centaines de journalistes… Les riverains, eux, regarderont ça de loin. Même si certains ne boudent pas leur plaisir : « C'est une aubaine ! Dans le quartier, tout le monde vit du tourisme. C'est une joie plus grande que la qualification de l'Égypte pour la Coupe du monde ! » Car avant d'être une fête égyptienne, cette inauguration se veut mondiale. Un message adressé à la planète, explique l'ancien ministre des Antiquités, Zahi Hawass : « Parce que nous croyons que les monuments égyptiens appartiennent à tout le monde, et pas seulement aux Égyptiens. Cinq cents chaînes de télévision vont retransmettre la cérémonie à travers le monde. » « Cette inauguration montrera que l'Égypte est un pays sûr » Depuis son bureau bardé de diplômes, l'archéologue vedette vante une opération de prestige au cœur d'une région marquée par les conflits : « C'est un message envoyé par le président de la République au monde entier : nous prenons soin de notre patrimoine. Ce musée va apporter beaucoup au pays. Des millions de touristes viendront, car cette inauguration montrera que l'Égypte est un pays sûr. » Un discours que tempère Khaled Azzab, professeur d'archéologie islamique, pour qui l'événement relève avant tout du soft power : « Celui qui coupe le ruban est celui qui récolte les honneurs de l'événement, qui attire la lumière sur lui et figure au premier plan sur la photo. » Derrière les paillettes, il y voit surtout un jeu diplomatique à grande échelle. « Ces rencontres ne sont jamais anodines : elles permettent d'échanger, d'apaiser des tensions, de régler certains différends. L'événement n'est pas une fin en soi », ajoute le professeur d'archéologie. À peine un mois après le sommet de Charm el-Cheikh et la signature du plan de paix pour Gaza, Le Caire saisit une nouvelle occasion de s'imposer comme pôle de stabilité au Moyen-Orient. Cette fois, à travers ses vestiges pharaoniques. À lire aussiÉgypte: le Grand Musée du Caire, un projet pharaonique, culturel et géopolitique

Ever wonder why some people light up a room the moment they walk in? That's not luck — it's aura. In this episode, AJ and Johnny unpack the science and strategy behind building an authentic magnetic presence. From making people feel good in your company to inviting them into your passions and showing up fully present, you'll learn the repeatable steps that make others naturally gravitate toward you. Drawing from behavioral psychology and emotional intelligence research, they share how to master attention, turn validation into connection, and transform your energy into influence.

What makes people trust you faster, remember your message longer, and say “yes” more often? Behavioral science has the answers. In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with behavioral science expert and author Richard Shotton to break down the psychological tactics behind persuasion, trust, and influence that anyone—not just brands—can use. From the power of concrete language to the pratfall effect, messenger bias, social proof, and scarcity hacks, Richard explains why these timeless psychological triggers work just as well in networking and sales as they do in billion-dollar marketing campaigns. Whether you're trying to stand out in a crowded room or get people to take action, these strategies are your edge.

Most networking advice tells you to “be nice” — but nice is forgettable. In this episode, AJ and Johnny reveal the three hidden signals spies use to win rooms, open doors fast, and build influence without small talk. You'll learn how to spot the leader signal (who really runs the room), the wish signal (what someone quietly wants), and the fence signal (what they're protecting). These micro-signals determine who gets remembered, trusted, and invited back. Whether you're trying to close a deal, land a promotion, or make your next event actually count, this episode gives you the tactical networking playbook used by elite operators in high-stakes situations — and shows you how to apply it in everyday life. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Why “being nice” fails and signals win rooms [00:00:25] The 3 hidden signals spies use to build influence [00:01:31] Leader, Wish, Fence — shortcuts to real connection [00:02:39] Real-world payoffs: sales, promotions, influence [00:03:16] How reading signals makes you memorable [00:04:10] The Leader Signal — spotting who really decides [00:05:29] The Wish Signal — catching emotional “tells” [00:07:27] The Fence Signal — respecting what's guarded [00:08:44] How to make a powerful “tiny ask” [00:09:41] Why correct reads build trust instantly [00:10:11] Tactical takeaways and playbook for your next event A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠unlockyourxfactor.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.  Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠artofcharm.com/intel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠for a social intelligence assessment and discover exactly what's holding you back.

Pervert by Charm Farm swaggered into the mid-'90s with industrial-tinged alternative rock that fused sleazy hooks with gritty guitar licks. Mechanical grooves create a sound that feels both nightclub-ready and deeply personal. Tracks like “Superstar” and “Sick” capture the era's obsession with fame and self-destruction while wrapped in infectious, neon-lit melodies. Completely overlooked upon release, Pervert offers sleek and subversive rock at a time the mainstream sought a more radio friendly (i.e. marketable) sound.

In 1562 the Witchcraft Act was passed in England during the reign of Elizabeth I. The Act stated that anyone who should "use, practise, or exercise any Witchcraft, Enchantment, Charm, or Sorcery, whereby any person shall happen to be killed or destroyed", was guilty of a felony without benefit of clergy, and was to be put to death. The Scottish Witchcraft Act followed a year later. Joining today is Steven Veerapen, author of Witches: A King's Obsession as we explore the reign of James VI of Scotland and I of England and its attitude to so called witches. James wrote a book on witchcraft and oversaw a huge uptick in legal proceedings against women who made up 85% of those accused.

Ever had a five-minute conversation that felt like you'd known someone for years? That's not luck — it's a loop. In this short, high-impact episode, AJ and Johnny break down the 90-second formula for instant connection. You'll learn how to spot subtle “bids” for attention, validate emotional cues, and shift conversations from surface-level small talk to real trust and rapport. This isn't networking fluff — it's a science-backed conversational loop you can use in meetings, dates, sales calls, or social events to turn polite chats into powerful relationships. Whether you want to build influence, deepen trust fast, or simply stop missing connection opportunities, this episode gives you a repeatable framework to make conversations stick. What to Listen For [00:00:00] The 90-second loop for instant connection [00:00:31] Why polite conversations fall flat [00:00:52] What a “bid” is and how to spot it [00:02:06] How validation lowers threat and builds trust [00:03:14] The “we” bridge — shifting from me vs. you [00:04:51] Real-world example: meeting someone new at an event [00:07:21] Using the loop in client and sales conversations [00:09:20] Emotional signals to listen for (and mirror) [00:11:24] How “we statements” build subconscious connection [00:12:32] The micro step — why small, soon, and specific wins [00:14:14] Common mistakes that break connection [00:16:38] Final recap: Spot.

What if peak performance isn't about superhumans — but about biology? In this powerful conversation, AJ and Johnny sit down with New York Times bestselling author and flow researcher Steven Kotler to reveal why we're all hardwired for the extraordinary.

What if the secret to modern influence was 2,000 years old? In this episode of Social Intelligence Brief, AJ and Johnny uncover Cicero's three-step formula for magnetic persuasion—a framework so powerful it once stopped riots and still drives billion-dollar pitches today. Drawing on ancient rhetoric, neuroscience, and modern leadership psychology, they reveal how to frame problems, layer reasoning, and close with intensity—the timeless skills behind every great communicator. From Roman courts to boardrooms, you'll learn how to turn logic into emotion, guide attention like a conductor, and leave any audience moved to act. Whether you're leading a meeting, pitching investors, or navigating conflict, this episode shows you how Cicero's forgotten formula can help you speak with conviction—and influence with integrity. What to Listen For [00:00:00] How Cicero turned chaos into persuasion—his 3-step model [00:01:12] Why structure—not charisma—is the key to attention [00:02:10] Step 1: Frame the problem to define reality [00:03:22] The modern VP example—how framing shifts energy and focus [00:04:00] Step 2: Layer your reasons (fact → value → emotion) [00:05:12] The neuroscience of stories and why emotion seals logic [00:06:10] Step 3: Close with intensity, not volume [00:07:05] The psychology of endings—why the close is all people remember [00:08:10] The 3-question test for persuasive clarity [00:08:40] Final recap: Frame it. Layer it. Close it.

Brief DescriptionWhy do some people always seem “lucky” while others miss out? In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with Wharton economics professor Judd Kessler, author of Lucky by Design, to reveal the hidden rules that govern life's most important markets—from dating to job hunting to Taylor Swift tickets. These “choose me” markets don't run on money alone; they run on signals, timing, and strategy. You'll learn why signaling interest often beats being perfect, how “settling for silver” can land you gold, and why gaming the system sometimes backfires. Judd breaks down strategies for college admissions, career opportunities, dating apps, and even Costco parking lots. Whether you're chasing a dream job, trying to stand out in dating, or just fighting bots for concert tickets, this conversation shows you how to design your own luck.

What if confidence wasn't in your head, but in your posture? In this episode, AJ and Johnny unpack the science of body language and embodied cognition—how standing tall, opening your chest, and taking up space sends powerful signals to your brain and to everyone around you. Backed by psychology research, they show how posture isn't just a reflection of mood—it actively creates it. You'll discover why slumped shoulders and “phone posture” leak low status, while upright, expansive body language instantly boosts mood, confidence, and presence. From the “doorway drill” to quick body checks, AJ and Johnny share practical tools to reset your default signals so you project confidence in every meeting, date, or social interaction—before you even say a word. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Why posture changes your mood, confidence, and signals [00:01:19] How unconscious slumping leaks insecurity—and how body checks fix it [00:02:48] The epidemic of phone posture and desk work destroying confidence [00:03:13] Embodied cognition: how your body teaches your mind to feel safe or defeated [00:04:04] Research: upright posture increases self-esteem, mood, and processing speed [00:04:28] Power posing and why expansive body language boosts risk tolerance [00:05:16] The posture loop: stand tall, make eye contact, take up space, smile [00:06:03] The doorway drill: reset your posture every time you walk through a door [00:07:04] Client story: how Jim rewired his posture with reminders and changed his default [00:07:43] Why confidence is easier to control through body language than thoughts A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at ⁠⁠⁠unlockyourxfactor.com⁠⁠⁠  The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.  Visit the ⁠⁠⁠artofcharm.com/intel ⁠⁠⁠for a social intelligence assessment and discover exactly what's holding you back.

Are we drowning in psychobabble? In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with psychotherapist and author Joe Nucci to debunk the viral mental health myths dominating social media. From the overuse of “trauma” and “gaslighting” to the idea that everyone needs therapy, Joe exposes how pop-psychology has blurred the lines between real treatment and trendy jargon. They dig into why therapy has become a status symbol, how diagnoses are being misused as identity labels, and the dangers of weaponizing terms like narcissism in dating and relationships. Joe also explains what gaslighting actually is (and why it can't happen in a single argument), and how social media is encouraging unhealthy identity-seeking through mental health labels. Whether you've rolled your eyes at overused buzzwords online—or wondered if you're guilty of using them yourself—this conversation will help you cut through the noise, spot real red flags, and separate genuine mental health wisdom from misleading myths. What to Listen For [00:00:22] Defining psychobabble—why using therapy language as weapons is so common [00:03:23] Why we crave explanations—and how psychobabble gives false certainty [00:04:52] Myth #1: “Everybody needs therapy”—why it's not true [00:07:36] How therapy turned into a status symbol and dating requirement [00:12:59] Is more intimacy always better? Why therapy shouldn't replace real connection [00:17:18] Myth #2: “Everyone has trauma”—the real definition of trauma vs. pop culture [00:25:39] Myth #3: “Your diagnosis is your identity”—why labels aren't the end point [00:32:30] How “awkward” became “neurodivergent”—the dangers of expanding definitions [00:36:25] Why “everyone's ex is a narcissist” has become toxic for relationships [00:46:25] The real definition of gaslighting—and why it takes time, not one fight [00:52:01] How true gaslighting destroys self-trust and why casual misuse is harmful [00:53:36] Where to find Joe's book Psychobabble: Viral Mental Health Myths and the Truths That Will Set You Free A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at ⁠⁠unlockyourxfactor.com⁠⁠  The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.  Visit the ⁠⁠artofcharm.com/intel ⁠⁠for a social intelligence assessment and discover exactly what's holding you back.
