Podcasts about Manipulation

The same tactics that con artists use to manipulate you can be used to build trust. Dr. Abbie Maroño explains the psychology of ethical social engineering. Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1255What We Discuss with Dr. Abbie Maroño:Manipulation vs. Influence: It's all about intention. The same psychological tactics can be used for good or evil. The difference? Manipulation disregards harm to others and exploits fear, while influence builds mutual benefit and makes people want to collaborate with you. Con artists use manipulation because it's faster — but ethical influence wins every time over the long term.Scammers weaponize your emotions to bypass critical thinking. When emotions are activated, your prefrontal cortex — the brain's logic center — gets overridden. That's why con artists use artificial urgency ("only 24 hours left!") and exclusivity ("just for you"). They only need to appear trustworthy, not actually be it, because you'll act before you can verify.Shame is the silent weapon that keeps victims quiet. The reason so many scam victims never report what happened isn't denial, it's embarrassment. Shame becomes its own prison, preventing people from seeking help or warning others. This silence protects predators and perpetuates cycles of exploitation.Short-term thinking is the con artist's best friend. Manipulators prey on our psychological bias toward immediate rewards. Getting $100 now feels more valuable than $150 later — even when it isn't. This "survival mode" mentality keeps people chasing quick wins rather than building something sustainable.To protect yourself, remember that other people's emotions usually have nothing to do with you. When someone pushes your buttons or creates pressure, pause and recognize it for what it is: a tactic, not a personal attack. Shelving your emotional reaction keeps your critical thinking intact — and that's your best defense against manipulation and your greatest asset in any negotiation.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Ogilvy Vice Chairman Rory Sutherland reveals the formula for persuasion, why people make decisions and how you can use psychology to your advantage. Rory is the world's leading advertising strategist. He spent almost four decades as Ogilvy studying why people behave the way they do and how to change that behavior.

The $100 Silver Window Is Almost Gone — And This Time It Won't Reopen Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/bXIi8jBSW6Y?si=XOflk-EgU8fzw665 Money Rewind 29 subscribers 788 views Dec 4, 2025 This documentary investigates a recurring four-stage pattern in commodity markets, analyzing its potential application to the contemporary silver market. The central thesis posits that assets historically used as money often undergo a cycle of Establishment, Manipulation, Squeeze, and eventual Break of the paper derivative market. This analysis is contextualized through an examination of current market phenomena, including significant physical silver withdrawals from COMEX vaults, the suspension of silver sales by major international banks, and the presence of market backwardation—a key indicator of acute physical demand. The narrative draws parallels to major historical precedents, including the 1980 silver crisis precipitated by the Hunt brothers, the 1971 "Nixon Shock" which severed the U.S. dollar's final link to gold, and the 2001 palladium supply shock. By dissecting silver's dual role as both a historic monetary asset and an indispensable industrial commodity facing a structural supply deficit, the film argues that the modern silver market is exhibiting classic signs of the "Squeeze" phase, signaling a potential decoupling between the price of physical metal and its paper equivalents. KEY CONCEPTS The Four-Stage Market Cycle (Establishment, Manipulation, Squeeze, Break) Physical vs. Paper Assets (Commodity vs. Derivative) Market Backwardation and Contango The Hunt Brothers & Silver Thursday (1980) The Nixon Shock & The Gold Standard (1971) Silver's Dual Demand (Monetary & Industrial) Commodity Futures Markets (COMEX) Counterparty Risk in Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Structural Supply & Demand Deficits RESEARCH & REFERENCES GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS The Coinage Act of 1965: Public Law 89-81, which eliminated silver from the United States' circulating dime and quarter-dollar coins and reduced the silver content of the half-dollar.

She shares relatable anecdotes and practical examples, highlighting how this pattern can manifest in various relationship dynamics, from casual dating to long-term partnerships. Listeners will learn to recognize the signs of future faking, including vague timelines, unfulfilled promises, and the emotional rollercoaster of hope and disappointment.Brianne empowers listeners with actionable strategies to address future faking in their relationships.

Marine combat pilot and filmmaker M.D. Selig joins us for an extraordinary deep dive into alien manipulation, Deep-State deception, and the psychology of mind control. Drawing from his experience as a decorated Marine A-6E Intruder pilot, Squadron Intelligence Officer, and creator of films featured on Netflix, Showtime, and Amazon Prime, Selig pulls back the curtain on how “impossible” events hide in plain sight.In this episode, we explore how covert narratives are constructed, why certain UFO encounters remain obscured for decades, and whether alien influence and psychological operations overlap more than we realize. Selig also discusses his international bestselling thriller HUSH, explaining why fiction sometimes offers the safest way to expose uncomfortable truths.How government and Deep-State narratives are engineeredAlien manipulation and the structures behind mind-control theoryWhy extraordinary events are easily hidden in ordinary spacesPsychological operations connected to UFO secrecyRoswell, disclosure timelines, and the intelligence mindsetHow mission-grade aviation realism shapes Selig's storytellingMarine Captain & A-6E Intruder combat aviatorFive Air Medals, including one with Combat “V” for ValorCombat missions flown during Operation Desert StormFilmmaker with projects on Netflix, Showtime, and Amazon PrimeInternational bestselling author of HUSHIf you're interested in UFOs, government secrecy, psychological manipulation, or the intersection of military intelligence and paranormal encounters, this episode delivers a rare behind-the-scenes perspective.mi.ufo.podcast@gmail.comSearch Michigan UFO Sightings & Paranormal Encounters on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or visit our website:michiganufopodcast.netlify.appIn This Episode:About M.D. SeligShare Your EncounterMore Episodes & Updates

Banned in most prisons! That feels like a point in the book's favor, but I'm not entirely sure I can articulate why. The Daily Laws: 366 Meditations on Power, Seduction, Mastery, Strategy, and Human Nature By: Robert Greene Published: 2021 464 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? A "page a day" book collecting bits of wisdom from Robert Greene's other books (Laws of Power, Art of Seduction, Strategies of War, etc.) What's the author's angle? As a general matter Greene is something of a Machiavellian figure, he's going to tell it like it is, and give you the tools you really need to succeed in life. Or at least that's his claim. I generally find his approach to be refreshing, but there are also moments when I would say he takes things too far and dispenses advice that's counterproductive.  Who should read this book? If you're one of the small number of people who likes to have a page of the day book as a way of marking the time from January 1 to December 31, this is an average entry in this very niche genre. But as the genre is not particularly large, any example might be welcome. If you've never done a page a day book I would probably start with Tolstoy's A Calendar of Wisdom. I thought it was quite good. Also, there's an argument to be made for it being the first such book chronologically. (It's the earliest example of a devotional book that wasn't rigidly sectarian.) Finally, it was banned by the Soviets, which immediately gives it ten extra points in my book.  Specific thoughts: Some good advice, some okay advice and a few pieces of actively bad advice

Chris Markowski discusses the manipulation of media narratives, the complexities of immigration, and the financial realities affecting America. He questions government narratives surrounding recent events, highlights fraud in Minnesota's welfare system, and critiques the U.S. intervention in Venezuela, suggesting that the motivations are more about oil than narco-terrorism. The conversation emphasizes the need for truth in financial reporting and the implications of government actions on citizens.

In this episode of We Chat Divorce, Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan sit down with high-conflict divorce coach and post-separation abuse strategist Jackie Miller to talk about what it really looks like to divorce a narcissist, survive Crazy Town, and protect yourself from financial abuse during and after divorce. Jackie shares her story of a 16+ year emotionally and financially abusive marriage, how post-separation abuse showed up through the legal and court system, and why so many smart, successful women still feel “crazy” and powerless when trying to leave a controlling or narcissistic spouse. Together, we unpack how manipulation, false narratives, financial control, and threats of litigation are used to keep you spinning — and how nervous system regulation, financial clarity, and the right support team can help you reclaim your power, make smart financial decisions, and move forward. If you're feeling stuck in a high-conflict divorce, being gaslit about money, or overwhelmed by attorneys, forensics, and financial documents, this episode will give you language, validation, and a roadmap for your next steps. About Our Guest – Jackie Miller Jackie Miller is a high-conflict divorce coach and post-separation abuse strategist who helps women and out-spouses disentangle from toxic relationships, reclaim their energy, and stop reacting to narcissistic manipulation — especially inside the family court system. A survivor of a 16.5-year emotionally and financially abusive marriage followed by a high-conflict divorce, Jackie blends lived experience, neuroscience, and practical strategy in her work. She is also the host of the podcast “Out of Crazy Town: Your Guide to Divorcing a Narcissist,” where she speaks directly to those navigating the chaos of narcissistic and high-conflict divorce.

The discussion centers on the current state of precious metals, monetary policy, and economic systems, with a particular focus on gold and silver’s role in the global financial landscape. Thornton argues that gold is fundamentally money, and governments have only recently forced their way into replacing commodity money with fiat currency. He suggests that the current precious metals market is still in its early stages, with central bank buying and distrust in the US dollar driving significant interest. The gold and silver markets are experiencing growing pains, with increasing investor attention and potential for further price appreciation. The conversation delves into the fundamental differences between Austrian and Keynesian economics. Thornton criticizes Keynesian economics as a state-controlled ideology that promotes government spending and manipulates interest rates, whereas Austrian economics advocates for market-driven monetary systems and private property rights. He highlights how central bank policies create economic bubbles and exacerbate wealth inequality by favoring asset-rich individuals. Thornton sees potential for a significant monetary transformation, potentially triggered by the current precious metals bull market. He believes the collision between Western and Eastern financial markets, coupled with the rise of cryptocurrencies, could lead to a fundamental restructuring of monetary systems. The possibility of a return to a gold standard or a gold-backed settlement currency is discussed as a potential future scenario. The economist also warns about potential economic bubbles in artificial intelligence and private equity, arguing that the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies have created unsustainable conditions across various sectors. He believes that while central banks have been able to temporarily extend economic cycles, their power is not infinite, and a significant market correction is inevitable. Thornton concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding Austrian economic principles and encourages listeners to explore the works of economists like Friedrich Hayek to gain deeper insights into monetary systems and economic dynamics.

Episode 88 of The Wild Chaos Podcast pulls you straight into the kind of story people only talk about behind closed doors. This isn't a highlight reel or a sanitized interview — it's a raw, unfiltered walk through the moments that change a man forever.Watch the full episode #88 here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5c7ESGgxVoYIn this episode, we sit down and unpack the real story behind Matthew's life, starting with the chaos he grew up in and the deep emotional wounds created by his stepmom. This wasn't normal discipline. It wasn't “tough love.” It was psychological warfare inside his own home — isolation, control, manipulation, and a level of emotional abuse that shaped the way he viewed himself for years.We dig into:How early trauma rewires a kid's identity before they even know what's happeningThe pressure of trying to survive in a home where love is conditionalThe way his stepmom's behavior created lifelong scars he didn't recognize until adulthoodHow those wounds followed him into relationships, work, and fatherhoodThe internal battle between protecting yourself and trying to belongHow he finally broke the cycle and rebuilt the parts of himself that were damagedFrom there, the conversation shifts into the challenges he faced later in life — the job, the stress, the moments that pushed him to his breaking point, and the reality of carrying childhood trauma into high-pressure adult situations. We talk about the coping mechanisms, the emotional shutdown, the slow process of rebuilding a sense of worth, and the moment he realized he wasn't broken — he was conditioned.This isn't a victim story. It's a transformation story.If you've ever dealt with childhood trauma, toxic parenting, emotional manipulation, or the long-term fallout of being raised in a dysfunctional home — this episode is going to hit hard and hit real.No filters. No sugar-coating. Just truth.

In this engaging conversation, global PR expert and executive coach Marjie Hadad reveals why every leader needs to adopt a "PR mindset" – and it's not what you think. Moving beyond the stereotypes of spin and press releases, Marjie reframes PR as strategic communication that helps us achieve our goals and solve problems in every area of life. Through vivid real-world examples – from handling an unresponsive waitress to inspiring frustrated team members – she demonstrates how intentional communication, clear goal-setting, and empathetic delivery can transform outcomes in both professional and personal contexts. Marjie shares her practical framework for effective communication: reverse engineer from your desired outcome, understand your audience's mindset, and deliver your message with the right words, tone, and timing. She emphasises the power of listening over talking, the importance of body language, and her favourite Irish proverb: "Keep your eye on the donut, not on the hole." Whether you're leading a team, preparing for a presentation, or simply trying to get your dry cleaning done faster, Marjie's insights offer a refreshing approach to communication that prioritises win-win outcomes, authenticity, and strategic thinking.    Connect with Marjie: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marjiehadad/ Website:  https://marjiehadad.com/     ##########   If you are looking for a Blueprint to help you and your business manage uncertainty, deal with failure and navigate change then reach out to Julian at: julian@julianrobertsconsulting.com   You can buy my book "Weathering the Storm: A Guide to Building Resilient Teams" on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DFTYN2Y2   ##########
