Have you ever felt like other people understand power better than you do — like they know the rules of the game and you don't? In this episode, I sit down with The 48 Laws of Power author Robert Greene to talk about what power really is, how to use it without becoming manipulative, and why feeling powerless can quietly wreck your life. We get into communication, self-love, boundaries, and how to spot people who don't have your best interests at heart, plus a preview of his new book The Law of the Sublime and what surviving a near-death experience taught him about appreciating life.

Chuck Todd breaks down why Donald Trump’s sudden push for a Ukraine “peace deal” may be more about political retreat than diplomacy, especially as Europe now shoulders most of the war’s cost—leaving Trump with diminished leverage abroad and a base deeply skeptical of foreign interventions. Chuck digs into new polling that shows a steady and significant shift toward Democrats, with a widening generic ballot advantage and Trump’s approval continuing to fall, suggesting the midterms—and even the Senate—are unexpectedly in play. He explores how Trump’s attempts to manipulate the economy could backfire, how a potential “AI bubble” could further weaken him, and why GOP divisions are poised to intensify. Plus, an update on the California governor’s race, where a field of lackluster Democratic contenders has allowed Republicans to overperform, raising questions about whether bigger names—or Rick Caruso—will jump into a race long dominated by the shadows of Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom. Finally, Chuck answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and previews the upcoming weekend in college football.

Inner Peace vs Retail Rage - How do shops design our experience to remove our decisions and make us to FOMO into all sorts of weird situations? This episode peels back the slick banners and countdown timers to show the tiny psychological tricks that turn shoppers into hunters. Scarcity, anchoring, and anticipation aren't marketing buzzwords — they're brain hacks. Retailers riff off ancient instincts: spot a rare fruit, grab it. Online, those instincts run on caffeine and fast clicks. The result? We chase status, reassurance, and an imagined better life via objects. Three actionable takeaways: Pause 24 hours before you buy to let impulse die. Flag “true needs” vs “story purchases” in a list. Reframe purchases as stories you'll tell later. SPONSORS

There is one growth signal in your body that quietly controls how fast you age.If it's too low, you will age faster.If it's too high, you will accelerate aging too.Yet, doctors never measure that!It's called IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) — and it's massively influenced by the food you eat.In today's new video, I break down: How IGF-1 controls aging – why it speeds up some processes and protects others Muscle growth & strength – why you need enough IGF-1 if you want to build or maintain muscle Bone mass as you age – how IGF-1 helps prevent the slow, silent loss of bone density The “sweet spot” – why both too high and too low IGF-1 can be a problem.I will touch under 65 and over age 65.

In this eye-opening episode, Rebecca exposes the hidden tactics narcissists use to manipulate, control, and sabotage you — from covert insults and gaslighting to gift-giving traps, holiday sabotage, and the dangerous “dangling carrot” of future faking. Learn how to recognize these psychological weapons, reclaim your power, and stop falling into their emotional traps for good.

The meaning of the “dangling carrot” tactic — how they promise love, change, or rewards they never deliver. What future faking looks like in relationships, workplaces, and negotiations. Why narcissists act kind or generous only when it serves their image or control. How to protect your mindset and use leverage to shift the power dynamic back to you.

AI doesn't just predict our behavior — it can shape it.Cass Sunstein, Harvard professor and co-author of Nudge, reveals how artificial intelligence uses classic tools of manipulation — from scarcity and social proof to fear and pleasure — to steer what we buy, believe, and even feel.Its influence is so seamless, we may not even notice it.The battle for the future isn't for our data — it's for our minds.In a world this personalized, how do we keep control of our own minds?

In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, Jim Ellermeyer and producer Mike Sorg wade into some deep—and dangerous—waters. Together, they explore how stochastic rhetoric and obfuscation have become the most powerful tools in modern political communication. What do those words mean? In short, they describe how leaders and media use vague, coded, or confusing language to manipulate emotions, create division, and dodge accountability. From “dog whistles” to “plausible deniability,” Jim explains how these tactics quietly shape behavior and beliefs—without ever saying things outright. But this episode isn't just about politics; it's about mindfulness in the face of manipulation. Jim and Mike offer practical ways to recognize these tricks, question what we're told, and bring compassion back into our conversations. “If you have a choice between being right and being kind, choose kind—and you're going to be right every time.” In a time of noise and division, Fishing Without Bait invites listeners to slow down, think critically, and reconnect with what truly matters: kindness, awareness, and authenticity.

Don't Let Manipulation Block Your Blessings Pastor Shirley Albritton delivers a critical teaching on the spirit of manipulation—a core strategy the enemy uses to hinder believers and wreck relationships. Manipulation is defined as coercive and unethical behavior aimed at controlling another person for personal gain, and it can operate subtly in all areas of life: friendships, marriage, family, and most dangerously, our relationship with God. The enemy's ultimate goal is to sever our intimacy and direct access to the Father, just as he did in the Garden of Eden. Learn to identify the signs of manipulation and understand that its presence is always a calculated effort to lead you into disobedience and out of God's will. Here are the key points covered in this message: -- Manipulation is Coercive and Unethical: It is driven by the goal of exploiting or controlling another person for personal gain. -- The Manipulator is After Something of Value: This value is ultimately your relationship and fellowship with God the Father. -- Learned Behavior: Manipulation is often learned in childhood but is brought into the body of Christ to avoid change and consequences. -- Warning Signs: Be alert to the tactics of manipulation, including guilt-tripping, lying to avoid blame, flattery with a hidden motive, putting on a facade of kindness, moving the goalpost, triangulation (bringing a third party into a two-person issue), love bombing, and isolation. -- The Fruit of Manipulation: The result of manipulation in your life is a place of sorrow, shame, defeat, and a life absent of the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, etc.). -- Counteract with Truth and Obedience: The way to defeat this spirit is by refusing to cohabitate with it, exposing it to the light (tell it!), and committing to obedience to God's word, because "obedience is better than sacrifice." -- For Such a Time As This: Like Esther, we must realize that God has placed us exactly where we are for a purpose. Don't let manipulation lead you to detour from the path of righteousness He has set for you. Scriptures for Further Study -- Genesis 3:1-7 -- Deuteronomy 7:6-9 -- Esther 4:8-14 (References to Esther's dilemma and Mordecai's charge) ******* Find more information on our website: https://www.saltandlightcovenant.com/

He called himself “Vanguard.” He branded women as his property, built a corporate-cult empire around control, and promised enlightenment while destroying lives. Now—five years and one hundred and twenty years into his prison sentence—Keith Raniere still believes he's the smartest man in the room. In this episode, we dive into Raniere's latest desperate attempt to overturn his NXIVM conviction, a last-ditch appeal built on claims that the FBI falsified digital evidence. His lawyers say key metadata on photos was altered. Judges say it's nonsense. And what's really on trial now isn't the evidence—it's Raniere's own ego. We break down how a man who once convinced Ivy-League grads and Hollywood actresses to worship him has spent the last decade trying to convince anyone who'll listen that he's the victim.  You'll hear how NXIVM started as a self-help “success program,” morphed into a secret society of obedience and branding, and ended with Raniere shackled in federal prison still proclaiming innocence. The court has heard it all before. The victims have lived through enough. And the narcissist at the center of it still can't accept that the spotlight's gone. This is the final chapter of a cult that mistook cruelty for enlightenment—and of a man who can't stop performing, even when his audience has left the theater. If you think justice ends when the verdict is read, think again. #KeithRaniere #NXIVM #TrueCrime #CultLeaders #HiddenKillers #Narcissism #CrimePodcast #TrueCrimeCommunity #Justice #CourtCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Getting good sleep is one of the best things you can do to increase muscle growth, strength gains, fat loss, and general performance.  In today's episode, we examine a study in which soccer players implemented different sleep hygiene tactics to improve their sleep. The tactics they had to choose from were: Avoid all electronic stimulants (TV, mobile phones, and computers) from 8 PM. If not doing the above, avoid them 30 minutes before going to bed. Change any electronic stimulants screen to the warm light setting from 7 PM. Wear SleepSpec glasses before going to bed. Minimize excess light from 9 PM to 9:30 PM by only having a bed lamp on. Change the bed lamp to a low-wattage globe. Manipulate the room temperature to 19–20 °C/66–68 °F. Avoid consuming caffeine or any supplements from 5 PM. Have the last large meal at least 2–3 hours before sleep. Consume a glass of lukewarm milk before going to bed. Consume a glass of chamomile tea before going to bed. Take a warm bath or shower before going to bed. Wear an eye mask whilst sleeping. Wear earplugs whilst sleeping. Remove any timing instruments (i.e., clock) from the room. Avoid any sleep disruptions (for instance, bathroom visits). Sleep at least eight hours. Avoid napping from 2 PM. Which of these did the soccer players choose to abide by? Did it work? What were the effects on their performance? And what might this mean for you? Let's discuss! *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player.
