I welcome back renowned persuasion expert and bestselling author Jay Heinrichs. Jay, widely celebrated for his book “Thank You for Arguing,” returns to share insights from his latest book: “Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion: How Ancient Rhetoric, Taylor Swift, and Your Own Soul Can Help You Change Your Life.” Jay dives into the personal journey that inspired the book—a year-long experiment where he applied the classical tools of rhetoric not just to business or negotiation, but to overcoming his own struggles with motivation, self-doubt, and a significant physical setback. Using a daunting mountain-running challenge as the backdrop, Jay explores how reframing your internal dialogue and negotiating with your mind and body can lead to surprising breakthroughs, both professionally and personally. Outline of This Episode [03:41] How Jay improved his negotiation skills through personal adversity. [07:04] An overview of mastering negotiation skills overview. [10:22] Honing negotiation skills while coping with chronic pain and limited mobility. [15:37] Evaluate desires vs. needs, question materialism, and align actions with one's true self for self-worth and persuasion. [19:04] Ancient Greeks explored self-dialogue, changing negative self-talk, and reframing thoughts can improve one's mindset. [23:32] Mind training is the practice of convincing your body to go beyond its perceived limits. The Art of Persuading Yourself After years spent teaching organizations how to persuade, he was challenged to turn those tools inward during a period marked by low motivation, self-pity, and a debilitating physical ailment. Jay explains how much harder it is to separate yourself as a negotiator and client when you are both the persuader and the persuaded. Inspired by Aristotle's teachings and his desire for change, Jay embarked on an experiment: Could the classical tools of rhetoric, updated for the modern age, help him overcome deep-seated doubts and achieve what seemed impossible? The Self-Persuasion Experiment The crux of Jay's journey was a literal mountain—Mount Moosilauke in New Hampshire, an Olympic training ground with a 3.7-mile run and a 2,800-foot elevation gain. At nearly 58 years old, told by doctors he might never walk again, Jay set a goal to become the first person over 50 to “run his age” up the mountain, climbing it in fewer minutes than his age in years. The process was nothing short of transformational. It demanded significant lifestyle changes: losing an eighth of his body weight, training for hours each day, giving up alcohol, and enduring a groundbreaking (and painful) medical procedure. As he struggled to reach his goal, Jay leaned on rhetorical strategies—not just to stay motivated, but to redefine his relationship with challenge, pain, and self-doubt. Reframing Reality Through Rhetoric One of the episode's standout lessons is the power of “reframing”—a quintessential rhetorical move. Jay describes how hyperbole, often dismissed as mere exaggeration, can become a tool for motivation: “What if you can believe in throwing something beyond yourself and then chase after it like a dog after a ball?” In this way, ambitious (even seemingly impossible) goals can become motivational hyperboles, stretching our perceived limits and moving us beyond inertia. He also draws from Aristotle's lesser-known work, On the Soul. Here, the concept of the “ideal self” or “soul” becomes the internal audience you must convince. The three classical elements of ethos—craft, caring, and cause—become the benchmarks of persuasion, not just with others, but with that idealized version of yourself. Negotiation as a Daily Practice Whether you're persuading a client, navigating a difficult deal, or pushing your limits in training, the process is the same: a series of negotiations with your goals, excuses, fears, and aspirations. Jay's year of self-persuasion wasn't about achieving physical greatness; it was about discovering happiness and gratitude, negotiating, ultimately, for a better relationship with oneself. Watts highlights the universal nature of this lesson, referencing cinematic moments of grit and perseverance, and reminds us that the real challenge is not just winning the deal, but winning yourself over, again and again.

Ungendering Menstruation by Ela Przybyło discusses why and how menstrual pain needs to be incorporated into discussions of gender, embodiment, and disability. Honing a "cranky" approach to being a menstruating body expected to accept and embrace trauma, Ungendering Menstruation examines menstrual suppression, toxicity, and the cooptation of menstrual positivity rhetoric. Drawing on their own experiences as a toxic shock survivor and a menstrual pain and period dysphoria sufferer, Ela Przybyło questions why, on what terms, and for whom menstruation has been fixed around experiences of pain. Instead, they present a vision for menstrual justice that refuses the womaning of bleeding and the further erasure, dismissal, and denial of menstrual pain as real pain. If menstruating is framed as somatechnically elective, Przybyło contends, it provides avenues for both celebrating and appreciating cultures of bleeding as well as for remaining critical of the ways in which bleeding has been used as a transphobic and sexist tool to fix gender in place.

In this deeply human and heartfelt episode, Bart Berkey sits down with the legendary Edward Mady — author of Honing the Human Edge, former GM of The Beverly Hills Hotel and Hotel Bel-Air, and a true icon in luxury hospitality. From his humble beginnings in a family diner to leading 128 award-winning teams, Edward shares the powerful principle that shaped his leadership: crack the code of others' hidden strengths and help them grow. With stories of grit, empathy, and purpose, this conversation is a masterclass in humanistic leadership and emotional intelligence.________________________________________Major Takeaways / Learnings:“Cracking the Code”: Great leaders uncover strengths people don't yet see in themselves.The Power of a Name: Using someone's name validates their identity and worth — whether they're an employee or a stranger on the street.Growth + Value: Every individual deserves a path to grow and add value. That's the true headline of leadership.Onboarding = Culture: Integration isn't training — it's energizing people to join your culture with purpose and pride.Desire → Momentum → Movement: Leadership isn't about tasks; it's about sparking desire that fuels momentum and creates collective impact.Lead Through Crisis by Showing Up: Sit in the fire with your team. Presence over perfection.Fire With Humanity: Even when letting someone go, leaders can do so with compassion, support, and continued belief in their potential.Work Can Be Joy: True leaders find joy in their work because it's purpose-driven and people-centered.________________________________________Memorable Quotes:“The most important thing you'll ever own is your name.”“Cracking the code of someone's hidden strength — that's what great leadership is.”“Desire is when you make a contract with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want.”“What can I do? How can I help? Who can I call?”“You never know what it's like to work for Edward Mady… until you don't.”“Leadership means sitting in the fire with your team and saying, ‘We'll figure this out together.'”________________________________________Why It Matters / How to Use It:This episode is a playbook for anyone who wants to lead with more empathy, resilience, and impact — whether in hospitality, business, or life. Edward reminds us that it's not enough to manage people — we must see them, support them, and help them discover their own edge. Apply this by:Calling people by name.Asking what lights them up.Creating safe space to grow, even through failure.Leading not just with policies, but with presence.This is not just leadership — this is legacy.Resources & Links:Edward Mady on LinkedIn: Click hereEdwar Mady Book: Honing the Human Edge: How Leaders Can Unlock Success Through Caring, Coaching, and AccountabilityBart Berkey: MostPeopleDont.com | LinkedIn

What's the difference between being paid for your emotional labor and giving it away for free? In this episode of the Sex Work VS miniseries, I explore how sex work reshaped my approach to relationships. From unreciprocated efforts with cis-het men to the gratitude that comes with being paid, I reflect love, and raising my standards. We'll talk about oxytocin, one-sided coaching, the myth of romantic stability—and why financial independence feels far more secure. This isn't about giving up on intimacy.

This week on Stitch Please, Lisa is joined (again!) by the fabulous Mahdiyyah Muhammad for a thread-heavy deep dive into sewing that's sustainable, soulful, and seriously stylish. They chat denim history, fabric vibes (yes, literal vibrations), and why mending isn't just for grandma—it's radical, ancestral, and low-key magical. From fast fashion faux pas to fiber alchemy, this convo stitches together culture, community, and circular fashion with plenty of wisdom and a dash of sass. Tune in and get mended, mentally and materially.====Where You Can Find Mahdiyyah!
