The country is on edge after another protester was killed by ICE officers in Minneapolis. Phil, Kaitlyn, and Skye look at how different Christian journalists and media outlets are covering, or not covering, the story, and what protests against ICE share in common with the Civil Rights movement, and how they're different. Speaking of the Civil Rights era, Justin Giboney is back to discuss his new book, "Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around." He believes too much of the American church and our politics has been captivated by the culture war, and learning from the example of the Black church, which rejected the "conservative vs. progressive" binary, can help lead us out.

In this Your Health University episode, Jamie sits down with Colin Stevens, Director of Engagement at Your Health, for a practical and honest conversation about communication—what it is, why it breaks down, and how leaders can immediately improve it. Colin reframes communication as understanding, not just delivery, explains why tone is the packaging that determines whether a message gets opened, and explores how ego blocks empathy in moments of conflict. The episode ends with a simple, powerful challenge: if you want to elevate your career and relationships, start by becoming a better listener. www.YourHealth.Org

About Patrick Van der Burght: Patrick van der Burght is an international expert in ethical persuasion, influence, and decision-making. He is a business partner of Dr. Robert Cialdini—author of Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion—and a founding member of the Cialdini Institute, the only active, licensed Cialdini Institute worldwide.A certified influence specialist and trainer across Australia and New Zealand, Patrick has spent over two decades teaching professionals how to persuade ethically, accelerate results, and build stronger relationships across sales, leadership, marketing, and team environments. He is also the co-author of How to Hear “Yes” More Often (2024) and host of the podcast Ethical Persuasion Unlocked.In this episode, Jennie and Patrick Van der Burght discuss:The seven universal principles of persuasion derived from Cialdini's researchThe distinction between genuine reciprocity and gated lead magnets as rewardsThe roles of liking and unity in building rapport and a sense of shared identityThe use of social proof and authority to enhance credibility and influenceThe impact of consistency and scarcity on ethical decision-making and behavior Key Takeaways:Ethical persuasion is not about clever wording; it is about aligning your message with how people naturally make decisions.Clarity reduces friction. When buyers clearly understand what happens next, they feel safer saying yes.Trust is built not through volume or urgency but through consistency, credibility, and honesty over time.Authority works best when it is demonstrated rather than declared, especially in relationship-based sales models like direct selling.When persuasion principles are applied with integrity, decisions feel easier, faster, and more empowering for everyone involved.“Information is not really power. Application skill is power, and I would argue that you need confidence to go along with it.” —  Patrick Van der Burght Connect with Patrick Van der Burght:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/patrick-van-der-burghtFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/patrick.burght/ CONNECT WITH JENNIE:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/badassdirectsalesmasteryInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/Show: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/blog/YouTube: COMING SOON!LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/badassdirectsalesmastery/Email: jennie@badassdirectsalesmastery.com  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

"Persuasion is about your intent. If your intent is solely to win at the other person's expense, that's manipulation. If you want the other party to also benefit from the conversation, then that's collaborative, and that's ethical persuasion." - Martin John Procurement leaders know that success often depends on more than just negotiating skills or cost models; it demands the ability to influence people at every level.  But what does it take to move from presenting facts to truly persuading suppliers, stakeholders, and executives to take action? This is a question that's more urgent than ever in today's complex business environment. In this episode of Art of Procurement, Philip Ideson speaks with Martin John, a seasoned procurement pro and licensed ethical persuasion trainer. Martin shares tools and science-backed frameworks that chief procurement officers and their teams can use right away. He pulls back the curtain on Cialdini's principles, real-world negotiation stories, and how to avoid crossing the line into manipulation. In this episode, Martin discusses how to: Recognize the thin line between ethical persuasion and manipulation Build trust and rapport faster using evidence, not guesswork Move beyond data to engage the emotions and subconscious drivers of decision-makers Translate behavioral science into everyday procurement Links: Martin John on LinkedIn Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers interviews Don Weber of DR Weber Coaching. Don's background reads like an international spy thriller—from selling diamonds in Antwerp to conducting intelligence operations for the U.S. and French governments. He joins the show to discuss how the skills he learned in those high-stakes environments translate to elite sales performance and corporate training. They dive into the art of profiling C-Suite executives before a meeting, the psychology of manipulation vs. persuasion, and why Don believes chasing money and power is ultimately unfulfilling. If you want to learn how to read people like an intelligence operative and communicate with absolute confidence, this episode is a must-listen. Key Highlights: From Diamonds to Intelligence Operative Don Weber shares his fascinating journey from being a commercial insurance broker to a diamond trader in Antwerp, which eventually served as his cover for intelligence work. He reveals how a background of "getting into trouble" made him a perfect recruit for government operations that required him to live under assumed identities in dangerous territories. Profiling the C-Suite Drawing on his intelligence background, Don explains the importance of building a psychological profile of your prospect before you ever step into the room. He and David discuss how to research a CEO or CFO—looking beyond just company stats to understand their personal motivations, lifestyle (e.g., home value, charitable giving), and risk tolerance to tailor the perfect pitch. The "Root Cause" of Sales Success Don and David agree that most salespeople fail because they focus on the product (insurance policies) rather than the root cause of the client's problem. Whether it's a dirty workers' comp mod or a lack of safety culture, identifying and fixing the underlying issue is the key to winning the account and delivering true value. Communication is the Ultimate Skill While hard skills are important, Don argues that communication is the ceiling on your potential. He shares how he helps corporate executives polish high-stakes presentations and master the art of engagement, ensuring that their message lands with impact—whether they are speaking to a board of directors or a room full of politicians. The Empty Cup of Materialism Having lived a life full of danger, money, and power, Don offers a sobering perspective on success. He warns against the trap of materialism, noting that many of the wealthiest people he knows are also the loneliest. True fulfillment, he argues, comes from helping others and living with purpose, not just accumulating "stuff."

What happens when you leave a steady 17-year career… and step into a commission-only world with setbacks, doubt, and a whole new learning curve? In this episode of the Life Insurance Academy Podcast, we sit down with Brian Jackson—former deputy sheriff turned life insurance agent—to talk about the real transition: the mindset shift, the "part-time with full-time commitment" approach, and what it takes to keep moving forward when the early days are rough. We dig into: How Brian went from law enforcement to insurance (and why alignment at home matters) The "what if" trap (fear + regret) — and how to flip it into "what if it works?" Why conviction (not persuasion) is what makes business stick The power of raising the stakes by getting clients to talk about their family The role of community + bootcamps in building confidence, consistency, and production Brian's personal wake-up call: a massive heart attack at 38—and how it changed everything If you're a new agent (or you've been taking hits lately), this one is a reminder: it's hard… but it's worth it.

Dive into the world of compliance and high-stakes investigations! In this episode of #GWIC, Hemma Lomax talks with Jamie Hoxie Solano, Partner at Dynamis LLP and former federal prosecutor, about how compliance and legal teams can lead with precision when incidents become investigations—especially where cyber risk and digital assets raise the stakes and the speed. We cover: What prosecutors look for when assessing credibility and cooperation The “first 72 hours” of an internal investigation: triage, scope, evidence, and governance Why cyber and digital assets matter in changing the evidence trail and the decision timeline How to protect privilege while still moving fast Practical guidance for cross-functional leadership under pressure Jamie's Bio Jamie Hoxie Solano is a Partner at Dynamis LLP and a former federal prosecutor. She represents individuals and companies in high-stakes matters spanning government and internal investigations, white-collar and regulatory defense, and cybercrime and digital asset disputes. Before returning to private practice, Jamie served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in both the Northern District of Texas and the District of New Jersey, working in units including cybercrime and national security, and serving (among other leadership roles) as the Digital Asset Coordinator for the District of New Jersey.  She is also an adjunct professor at Seton Hall Law School, where she teaches Persuasion and Advocacy.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head is joined by Josh Hammer, Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, Host of The Josh Hammer Show, and Author of “Israel and Civilization,” for a timely conversation on what he calls the rise of “moral blackmail” in America. Drawing from his recent article for Front Page Magazine, Hammer explains how the radical Left increasingly uses intimidation, emotional pressure, and the threat of unrest to force political and cultural compliance rather than winning debates through facts or persuasion.The discussion examines key flashpoints including the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation, the Derek Chauvin trial, post-Dobbs protests, and ongoing unrest in Minneapolis, arguing that mob pressure has been used to undermine due process and the rule of law. Hammer also warns that media disinformation and selective enforcement have fueled public confusion and normalized intimidation tactics.Together, the duo explores what this trend means for free speech, institutional integrity, and the future of the American republic, and whether the country is finally beginning to push back.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Scott Adams passing is a great loss to those of us who object to herd mentality. Scott was brilliant in his analyzing of cognitive dissonance, irrationality, and mass delusion. He unraveled the complexity of human persuasion better than most, If not all, psychologists.

He is also the co-author of How to Hear “Yes” More Often (2024) and host of the podcast Ethical Persuasion Unlocked.In this episode, Jennie and Patrick Van der Burght discuss:Why persuasion is not manipulation—and how ethical influence creates lasting behavior changeThe science of decision-making through Daniel Kahneman's System One and System Two thinkingWhy selling feels harder today as attention spans continue to shrinkHow logical arguments often fail to move people toward actionWhy Dr. Cialdini's principles of persuasion act as decision triggers rather than sales tactics Key Takeaways:Persuasion isn't about pushing—it's about prompting. The most powerful influence happens when people feel, “I chose this,” not “I was sold this.”Your brain's autopilot (System One) makes most decisions. If your message is 100% logic and data, it's speaking to the 5% that decides the least.Attention is today's scarcest resource. In a world of pings, pop-ups, and endless scroll, there's rarely enough focus left to run deep, analytical thinking.When sales conversations rely only on rational explanations, they often create indecision rather than clarity.Ethical persuasion activates the right mental shortcuts so people can decide faster, with confidence, and without regret.“I would argue that a lot of those no's aren't actually no's. They're indecision.” —  Patrick Van der Burght Connect with Patrick Van der Burght:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/patrick-van-der-burghtFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/patrick.burght/ CONNECT WITH JENNIE:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/badassdirectsalesmasteryInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/Show: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/blog/YouTube: COMING SOON!LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/badassdirectsalesmastery/Email: jennie@badassdirectsalesmastery.com  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Kelvin Lwin for their second conversation exploring the fascinating intersection of AI and Buddhist cosmology. Lwin brings his unique perspective as both a technologist with deep Silicon Valley experience and a serious meditation practitioner who's spent decades studying Buddhist philosophy. Together, they examine how AI development fits into ancient spiritual prophecies, discuss the dangerous allure of LLMs as potentially "asura weapons" that can mislead users, and explore verification methods for enlightenment claims in our modern digital age. The conversation ranges from technical discussions about the need for better AI compilers and world models to profound questions about humanity's role in what Lwin sees as an inevitable technological crucible that will determine our collective spiritual evolution. For more information about Kelvin's work on attention training and AI, visit his website at alin.ai.

The Rarity of Polymath AI-Spirituality Perspectives: Kelvin argues that very few people are approaching AI through spiritual frameworks because it requires being a polymath with deep knowledge across multiple domains. Most people specialize in one field, and combining AI expertise with Buddhist cosmology requires significant time, resources, and academic background that few possess.2. Traditional Enlightenment Verification vs. Modern Claims: There are established methods for verifying enlightenment claims in Buddhist traditions, including adherence to the five precepts and overcoming hell rebirth through karmic resolution. Many modern Western practitioners claiming enlightenment fail these traditional tests, often changing the criteria when they can't meet the original requirements.3. The 500-Year Buddhist Prophecy and Current Timing: We are approximately 60 years into a prophesied 500-year period where enlightenment becomes possible again. This "startup phase of Buddhism revival" coincides with technological developments like the internet and AI, which are seen as integral to this spiritual renaissance rather than obstacles to it.4. LLMs as UI Solution, Not Reasoning Engine: While LLMs have solved the user interface problem of capturing human intent, they fundamentally cannot reason or make decisions due to their token-based architecture. The technology works well enough to create illusion of capability, leading people down an asymptotic path away from true solutions.5. The Need for New Programming Paradigms: Current AI development caters too much to human cognitive limitations through familiar programming structures. True advancement requires moving beyond human-readable code toward agent-generated languages that prioritize efficiency over human comprehension, similar to how compilers already translate high-level code.6. AI as Asura Weapon in Spiritual Warfare: From Buddhist cosmological perspective, AI represents an asura (demon-realm) tool that appears helpful but is fundamentally wasteful and disruptive to human consciousness. Humanity exists as the battleground between divine and demonic forces, with AI serving as a weapon that both sides employ in this cosmic conflict.7. 2029 as Critical Convergence Point: Multiple technological and spiritual trends point toward 2029 as when various systems will reach breaking points, forcing humanity to either transcend current limitations or be consumed by them. This timing aligns with both technological development curves and spiritual prophecies about transformation periods.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe cubicle jokes were the hook, but the accuracy was the engine. We look at Scott Adams' life and ideas with fresh eyes—how Dilbert named the dysfunction so many of us felt, how The Dilbert Principle exposed bad incentives, and why his most lasting gift may be a set of practical tools for everyday progress. We share how systems beat goals, why routines create momentum, and how talent stacking and energy management let normal people do exceptional work without pretending to be superhuman.From there, we step into his later work on persuasion and clear thinking—Win Bigly, Loserthink, and Reframe Your Brain—and unpack why frames, incentives, and emotional hooks move people more than spreadsheets do. Whether you agreed with his takes or bristled at them, his 2016 prediction about Donald Trump challenged the idea that facts alone decide outcomes. He treated public life like a lab, testing influence in real time and inviting us to watch the mechanics behind the message.We also sit with his final words about faith—humble, urgent, and aimed beyond career and controversy. It's a reminder that systems and stacks are means, not ends, and that clarity of thought should point toward clarity of purpose. Along the way, we share the simple routines that powered 4.5 years of this show and the small, repeatable steps you can start today to build a durable life: write a little, move daily, guard your energy, and stack useful skills that multiply your impact.If this conversation helps you rework one habit or reframe one problem, share it with a friend who needs a nudge. Subscribe for more thoughtful breakdowns of ideas that actually work, and leave a review to tell us which system you'll try next.Key Points from the Episode:• Dilbert as a mirror of modern workplaces• The Dilbert Principle and bad incentives• Systems over goals as daily wins• Building routines into momentum• Talent stacking and energy management• Persuasion, framing, and political prediction• Trained thinking over lazy patterns• A final turn toward faith and humilityBe sure to check out our show page at teammojocademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great resourcesOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Not so much a rewrite as an appreciation of this 25-year-old classic in general and of Daniel Cleaver as played by Hugh Grant in particular. Bridget Jones's Diary Year: 2001 Screenplay by: Helen Fielding, Andrew Davies, Richard Curtis Based on the novel by: Helen Fielding Directed by: Sharon Maguire Stars: Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant Show notes: CN: discussion of fatphobia and diet culture; derogatory language   If you would like to skip the plot summary for this month's film you can spool forward about 12 and a half  minutes into the episode.   In this episode we mention the films: Notting Hill* (1999) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125439/) Paddington 2 (2017) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4468740/) Love Actually (2003) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314331/)   And the TV series: Pride and Prejudice (1995) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112130/)   And the books: Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding (1996) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_Jones%27s_Diary_(novel)) Sex & The City by Candace Bushnell (1996) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_and_the_City_(newspaper_column)) Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin (1978) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_the_City_(novel)) The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4 by Sue Townsend (1982) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_Diary_of_Adrian_Mole,_Aged_13%C2%BE) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (1813) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_and_Prejudice) Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding (1999) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_Jones:_The_Edge_of_Reason_(novel)) Persuasion by Jane Austen (1817) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persuasion_(novel))   *Films marked with an asterisk have previously been featured on the podcast.   You can watch the shower sketch from Eddie Izzard's Glorious tour (1997) here: https://youtu.be/0Zfsn82MF3E?si=uhKVM3t9YtR8PKSQ   NB: In this episode, we refer to events from both the first and the second books in the Bridget Jones canon - Bridget Jones's Diary (1996) and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (1999)   The passage from the (first) book that Charles Adrian was trying to find is right at the beginning - Sunday 1 January: "It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr Darcy and to stand on your own looking snooty at a party. It's like being called Heathcliff and insisting on spending the entire evening in the garden, shouting 'Cathy' and banging your head against a tree."    Comic Relief, mentioned in passing at the beginning of this episode, is a British charity co-founded in 1986 by Richard Curtis and Sir Lenny Henry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_Relief).    If you would like to suggest films for future episodes, you can tweet Lisa: @LisaStowaway.   We record these episodes over the internet.

Send us a textWhat happens when a viral show cracks open a deeper conversation about God, calling, and courage? We follow that spark into a candid, unfiltered exploration of what it means to live and speak with conviction—on set, at the office, and in every small decision that shapes our witness. We don't trade in slogans or soft edges here. We press into the hard center of the Christian message: why sin is real, why repentance is necessary, and why the resurrection is the hinge of hope and the engine of boldness.You'll hear heartfelt questions from a creative wrestling with being a “kingdom” photographer or videographer, and a powerful reminder that talent is not the same as calling. We talk about how pressure to fit other people's expectations can drain you, and how quiet obedience can sometimes place you in roles you never planned but desperately needed. Then we move from theory to practice with real workplace stories: HR meetings, policy pushback, and the surprising favor that shows up when you choose wisdom with a backbone—being as wise as serpents and gentle as doves.Along the way, we reclaim persuasion as more than clever words. Persuasion means listening, trusting, and obeying the truth we proclaim. It means naming sin and grace clearly, not to shame people, but to point them to the only cure that lasts. And it means refusing to hide our allegiance to Jesus when it's costly, while staying measured, kind, and sharply clear. If you've wondered how to speak up without becoming obnoxious, how to be faithful without becoming timid, and how to use your gifts without idolizing them, this conversation will meet you where you are and send you out stronger.If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs courage today, leave a review so others can find it, and subscribe for more conversations that sharpen your faith and embolden your voice.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Persuasion isn't just for politicians and advertisers—it's a core nursing skill.In this episode of the Emory University series, host Melissa Mills sits down with Dr. Roxana Chicas, Dr. Sharron Close, and recent Emory School of Nursing graduate Sofi Igyan to explore how nurses can use the power of words to influence change from the bedside to the boardroom.Together, they unpack what persuasion really means in health care—how it differs from simple education, and why it's both an art and a science. You'll hear how strategies like knowing your audience, framing messages, leveraging the “power of three,” and using data and stories together can move patients, policymakers, and the public to action.The guests share real-world examples—from farmworker advocacy and climate health, to social media “nurse hacks,” to early-career experiences with therapeutic communication and mental health. They also dig into storytelling tools like the AIDS Memorial Quilt and the legacy of Cesar Chavez to show how narrative can humanize complex issues, build empathy, and shift policy.Whether you're a new graduate nurse, bedside nurse, educator, or emerging nurse leader, this episode will help you:Claim your voice as a communicator and advocateUse persuasion ethically and effectivelyTurn everyday conversations into opportunities for impactListen in and rediscover your words as one of the most powerful tools you have as a nurse.>>Unlocking the Power of Persuasion in Your Nursing CareerJump Ahead to Listen: [00:01:39] Persuasion in nursing communication. [00:05:03] Core components of effective persuasion. [00:09:14] Applying persuasive strategies in community settings. [00:14:26] How nurses can influence public perception through media. [00:18:09] The power of storytelling. [00:20:40] Stories that drive meaningful change in healthcare. [00:25:28] Creativity as a communication tool for nurses. [00:30:05] Using multimedia platforms to expand reach. [00:34:02] Elevating patient voices in care and advocacy. [00:37:54] Fostering communication confidence among nurses. [00:44:42] Creating space for vulnerability in nursing culture. [00:48:13] Building confidence in clinical and professional expertise. [00:50:13] Developing therapeutic communication skills. [00:54:46] Embracing lifelong learning in nursing practice. For more information, full transcript and videos visit Nurse.org/podcastJoin our newsletter at nurse.org/joinInstagram: @nurse_orgTikTok: @nurse.orgFacebook: @nurse.orgYouTube: Nurse.org

How do you change someone's mind without being manipulative? In a world where influence is a key leadership currency, the line between ethical persuasion and unethical manipulation can seem blurry. To navigate this complex territory, Andy Lopata is joined by an expert in the art of communication, Paul du Toit. Paul is a 27-year speaking veteran, Africa's first Certified speaking professional this century, and the author of three business books, including the timely "The Book of Persuasion." As an inductee into both the Southern African Speakers Hall of Fame and the Southern African Educators Hall of Fame, Paul brings decades of experience to the conversation. Together, Andy and Paul dissect the crucial difference between persuading someone for mutual benefit and coercing them for personal gain. Paul emphasises that true persuasion is an art that strengthens relationships by ensuring decisions are made with free will and are built on a foundation of trust. This conversation is a masterclass in the practical techniques of ethical influence. Discover why "engaged listening" is more powerful than active listening, how to ask questions that build rapport instead of feeling like an interrogation, and the four-step "Agree and Switch" method for overcoming resistance. Paul also shares powerful insights on the role of confidence, the impact of non-verbal cues in a virtual world, and what we can learn from charismatic figures. What we discussed: Persuasion vs. Manipulation: The critical distinction lies in intent and outcome. Persuasion aims to change minds while honouring free will and building long-term trust. Manipulation is coercive and often unethical, prioritising a short-term win over the relationship. The Power of "Engaged Listening": Go beyond simply hearing words. Engaged listening involves focusing on the person, understanding the context behind what they're saying, and making them feel truly heard, which is the foundation of any persuasive conversation. Asking Questions Strategically: The most effective persuasion comes from the information you gather. Learn how to ask for permission to ask questions, creating a dynamic where the other person willingly shares without feeling interrogated. Charisma: Charismatic figures like Steve Jobs, Oprah, and Muhammad Ali weren't just born with it. Their incredible ability to persuade was often forged by overcoming immense adversity, combined with excellent oratory skills and a laser-focused vision.

I want you to listen to this episode of The Russell Brunson Show with a different level of awareness. This is not just a breakdown of a video sales letter or a history lesson. It is the story of how persuasion actually works, where it came from, and why almost everything you see in marketing, politics, and media today traces back to a single hidden lineage. This episode walks through the uncomfortable truth behind influence and why understanding it is no longer optional if you want to build, sell, or lead in a world driven by attention. Key Highlights: ◼️How Sigmund Freud uncovered the unconscious drivers of human behavior and why those discoveries terrified him when they were used at scale ◼️How Edward Bernays weaponized Freud's work, shifted advertising from logic to emotion, and created modern propaganda through desire and identity ◼️Why Bernays believed democracy required manipulation and how his book Propaganda openly explains the engineering of consent ◼️How Dan Kennedy took Bernays' ideas even deeper, refining persuasion into systems that influence high level decision makers, not just the masses ◼️Why these same psychological frameworks still drive webinars, VSLs, funnels, and buying behavior today, whether people realize it or not The reason this matters is simple. These tools exist. They have shaped the last century of buying, believing, and behaving. You can either stay unaware and be influenced by them, or you can understand how they work and choose how to use them ethically in your own business. This episode is about pulling back the curtain so you can finally see the system behind persuasion and decide what role you want to play inside it. ◼️If you want to watch the full Bernays presentation I reference in this episode, you can find it here: https://secretsofpropaganda.com◼️And if you want access to the event I mention at the end, including the Propaganda book bonus, the link shared in the episode is: https://secretsofpropaganda.com/buy ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event →⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

Though Jane Austen went largely unrecognized in her own lifetime—four of her six novels were published anonymously, and the other two only after her death—her name is now synonymous with the period romance. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz choose their personal favorites from her œuvre—“Emma,” “Persuasion,” and “Mansfield Park”—and attempt to get to the heart of her appeal. Then they look at how Austen herself has been characterized by readers and critics. We know relatively little about Austen as a person, but that hasn't stopped us from trying to understand her psyche. It's a difficult task in part because of the double-edged quality to her writing: Austen, although renowned for her love stories, is also a keen satirist of the Regency society in which these relationships play out. “I think irony is so key, but also sincerity,” Schwartz says. “These books are about total realism and total fantasy meeting in a way that is endlessly alluring.”This episode originally aired on June 12, 2025. Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Pride and Prejudice,” by Jane Austen“Persuasion,” by Jane Austen“Emma,” by Jane Austen“Mansfield Park,” by Jane Austen“Sense and Sensibility,” by Jane Austen“Northanger Abbey,” by Jane Austen“Virginia Woolf on Jane Austen” (The New Republic)Emily Nussbaum on “Breaking Bad” and the “Bad Fan” (The New Yorker)“How to Misread Jane Austen,” by Louis Menand (The New Yorker)“Miss Austen” (2025—)“Pride and Prejudice” (2005)Scenes Through Time's “Mr. Darcy Yearning for 10 Minutes” SupercutNew episodes drop every Thursday.

More money. More time. Or both.If what you offer helps people get one or both, demand should not be the problem. When it is, the issue is rarely the product. It is how the value is communicated. The problem is most businesses bury that value under features, specs, and what I call “knowledge vomit” and then wonder why buyers do not move.In this episode, I break down why marketing fails when it cannot clearly validate outcomes. Buyers do not struggle with features or specs. They struggle with confusion. If your message does not quickly show how you help them make money, save time, or both, they will move on, even if what you offer is genuinely strong.We walk through how value gets buried under “impressive” language, why clear always beats clever, and how small disconnects in messaging and experience quietly erode trust and revenue. This is not about hype or shortcuts. It is about making the value obvious at every touchpoint.In this episode, you will learn how to:Translate features into outcomes buyers actually care aboutClarify whether your offer makes money, saves time, or does bothSimplify messaging so decision makers instantly understand the valueFix marketing that looks polished but fails to convertImprove customer experience through small, intentional momentsAlign product, marketing, and leadership around one clear value storyThis episode is for founders, marketers, product leaders, and decision makers who are tired of guessing why marketing is not working. If your marketing cannot clearly prove value, you will not win. When it can, growth becomes more predictable, more sustainable, and far less complicated.Beyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize. Market.

Greg Jenner is joined in Regency England by historian Dr Lucy Worsley and actor Sally Phillips to learn all about the life and works of literary legend Jane Austen on the 250th anniversary of her birth in December 1775.It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen is one of England's best-loved authors, and the creator of such indelible characters as Elizabeth Bennet, Mr Darcy, Emma Woodhouse and Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. Whether you have read one of her six books – Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Emma, Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park – or seen one of the many adaptations, most of us have some experience with Austen. But her life story and how it influenced her writing is perhaps less well-known. This episode explores her early life as the daughter of a rural clergyman, takes a peek inside the books a teenage Jane was reading, and delves into her romantic and familial relationships to see what shaped Austen into the formidable literary talent she was. And it asks a key question: was Jane Austen, who wrote such wonderful women characters, a feminist?This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

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!
