Send a textI survived a bad winter storm that knocked out my heat and electricity for almost a week, so it's good to be back!Speaking of drama, Wuthering Heights is one of my favorite books of all time, so I've been following the crazy anticipation for the Emerald Fennell film adaptation of the story that just opened this weekend. Adapting beloved classic stories for the screen isn't easy – filmmakers will never manage to perfectly interpret the story for every fan of the source material, and they have to earn attention in ways that books don't. Some filmmakers really get it right, though, despite the challenges, and when they manage to honor the original story while staying committed to their own version of it, beloved characters live another day. Classic books have survived for a reason, and I think they can handle all of the red latex corsets thrown at them.https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comIt was certain that this movie was going to be hot and look stunning, no matter what.I think this is the ultimate review of the film and I haven't even seen it yet. A Tale of Two Hotties.Is this the greatest love story of all time?! Or is that our trauma talking? The 1939 adaptation of Wuthering Heights is full of romance with a R and scenery-chewing, and resembles the book only a little, but it's glorious.I will watch the whole 1939 movie just for this scene.I think they got everything I loved about this book exactly right."Based on the timeless love story by Jane Austen" and after that, they need to sell us on it because we are Fans. Well, personally I bought everything this version of Persuasion was selling.It's far from a perfect movie, and I haven't read the book, but the casting and direction of Which Brings Me to You is perfection, and I was glued to the screen from beginning to end.The Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR is a podcast and newsletter that covers the "buzziest" movies, TV, music, books, video games and more.   Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, please click share in your podcast app and tell your friends!

Psalm 73:1

Yascha Mounk and Daniel Diermeier examine how elite institutions created the backlash that now threatens their future. Daniel Diermeier is Chancellor of Vanderbilt University, where he has served since 2020.  In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Daniel Diermeier discuss why American universities are simultaneously world-leading and losing public trust, whether elite higher education creates dangerous separation between the professional class and ordinary Americans, and how the shift from regional to national universities has reshaped American society.  Polarization is at an all-time high. It can feel daunting—perhaps even misguided—to engage in meaningful dialogue with those holding starkly different views. What does it mean to champion pluralism in such a moment? Persuasion's new series on the future of pluralism, generously supported by the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, features essays and podcast interviews that make the case for civic dialogue and highlight inspiring examples of it in practice.

Most people think persuasion is about having the best argument, but I know tone decides whether your logic even gets heard. If someone is already in judgment mode, the strongest reasoning won't matter because they've chosen not to receive it. Your tone tells people if you are certain, defensive, or needy before they process your words. In this episode, I explain why communication works from the inside out, not just from the content you say. When your tone is strong and clear, your logic finally gets a chance to land. Show Notes: [03:08]#1 Tone is processed before meaning. [10:52]#2 Logic requires trust. [15:12]#3 Emotional containment makes your argument feel inevitable. [18:31] Recap Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced.

Most B2B marketing fails for one simple reason: it forgets how persuasion actually works.That's why Mad Men still hits. Beneath the suits, pitches, and personal drama, it's a masterclass in what actually moves people. In this episode, we break down its B2B marketing takeaways with the help of our special guest  Fahad Muhammad, Former VP of Marketing at TealBook.Together, we explore why fundamentals matter more than tactics, why emotion drives demand, and how originality is the only real advantage left in modern B2B marketing.About our guest, Fahad MuhammadFahad is a revenue-centric and data-driven marketing leader with 17 years of experience in strategic marketing at severalSaaS/Tech companies ranging from start-ups, SMBs to enterprise organizations. Specializing in demand creation and generation, he takes a data driven approach to identify unique growth opportunities in order to drive revenue and foster meaningful connections with customers. He is a diehard college football fan (Sun Devil for life!) and attends ASU's homecoming game each fall. An avid reader, he loves to read with a cup of his favorite coffee in hand.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Mad Men:Anchor on positioning before you touch tactics. Fahad's biggest takeaway from Mad Men is that modern B2B often skips the hard thinking and jumps straight to execution. The show strips marketing back to its core, and the lesson is uncomfortable in its simplicity. As he puts it, “This discipline is around three core things. It's about positioning, it's about having a very compelling piece of creative… and then the last piece is really understanding who your audience is.” The danger for B2B teams is mistaking activity for strategy. If positioning is fuzzy, no amount of optimization will save it. Get the foundation right first, or everything else is just noise.Emotion is the real differentiator. Fahad makes it clear that cutting through the noise is about resonance. He says, “Something that does speak to us, no matter what medium [it's in], is always going to cut through the noise.” Mad Men works because it understands human psychology hasn't changed, even if the channels have. For B2B marketers, the lesson is simple: logic might justify the purchase, but emotion earns attention. If your message doesn't connect at a human level, it won't survive the noise long enough to matter.Originality beats borrowed playbooks. Fahad warns that one of the fastest ways for B2B brands to disappear is by copying what already worked for someone else. Mad Men celebrates originality because it shows how differentiation is built through conviction, not consensus. As Fahad puts it, “They're not taking the shortcut route of copy pasting or referencing creative… they are elevating themselves and going through their own version of creative.” In a world where everyone has access to the same tools, the only sustainable advantage is saying something true in a way only you can. That's what people remember.Quote“  Everybody has the same access to the tools now. They can do the same thing. And the playing field is more level than ever. So how do you now cut through the noise? It still goes back to the core elements of: How strong is your positioning? How strong is your creative? Are you really thinking [that] this is going to cut through the noise and is it going to move people?”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Fahad Muhammad, Former VP of Marketing at TealBook[01:37] Why Mad Men?[04:28] Role of VP of Marketing at TealBook[05:20] Behind-the-Scenes of Mad Men[09:21] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Mad Men[32:08] The Role of AI in Marketing[42:43] How to Connect Content to Your Marketing Strategy[45:44] Advice for First-Time VPs of Marketing[47:19] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Fahad on LinkedInLearn more about TealBookAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Alan Rozenshtein, research director at Lawfare, and Renee DiResta, associate research professor at Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy and contributing editor at Lawfare, spoke with David Rand, professor of information science, marketing, and psychology at Cornell University.The conversation covered how inattention to accuracy drives misinformation sharing and the effectiveness of accuracy nudges; how AI chatbots can durably reduce conspiracy beliefs through evidence-based dialogue; research showing that conversational AI can shift voters' candidate preferences, with effect sizes several times larger than traditional political ads; the finding that AI persuasion works through presenting factual claims, but that the claims need not be true to be effective; partisan asymmetries in misinformation sharing; the threat of AI-powered bot swarms on social media; the political stakes of training data and system prompts; and the policy case for transparency requirements.

Episode 61 A voice calls your phone. It sounds familiar. The cadence is right. The emotion feels real. But the person never spoke. In this episode of Conspiracy Theoryology, Ryan Nelson examines the emerging world of artificial voices, generated faces, and language models that no longer simply transmit information, but manufacture persuasion. Rather than focusing on technology alone, this episode asks a deeper question: What happens to trust when authenticity itself can be simulated? From political messaging to personal relationships, communication is shifting from human expression to engineered influence. Not censorship. Not propaganda in its traditional form. Something quieter — a reality where certainty erodes because evidence itself can be generated on demand. The danger may not be that we believe everything. It may be that we eventually believe nothing. Because truth does not disappear when it is suppressed. It disappears when it becomes indistinguishable from imitation. Behind the belief, and beyond the conspiracy, lies the theoryology.   Value-for-Value Paypal Donation - Paypal.me/theoryology www.conspiracytheoryology.com email - contact@conspiracytheoryology.com Music is by Lucas Rodriguez

In this brand-new Masterclass Special, Gary Fox sits down with Diarmuid Corcoran of Chartered Capital to unpack the money questions Irish founders avoid - until it's too late. They talk openly about why money can still feel like a “dirty word” in Ireland, why founders can be brilliant at making money but hesitant to manage it, and how wealth often compounds simply because of maths. Diarmuid breaks down the core principles of long-term investing (without the hype), the psychology that causes people to panic at the wrong time, and the practical founder moves that build real security - like taking a salary, using pensions properly, and keeping “fun investing” firmly contained. If you've ever said “I'll start later,” “I'll wait for the markets to settle,” or “my business is my pension,” this episode is the reset. Important note This episode is education and perspective - not personalised financial advice. Always do your own due diligence and speak to a qualified advisor/accountant for your circumstances. Show notes What you'll learn Why the “rich get richer” is often compounding in action Why Ireland has a unique relationship with money (scarcity mindset + property-first thinking) The hidden risk of “safe” cash: inflation eroding purchasing power Time in the market vs timing the market (and why “waiting” usually backfires) The psychology behind bad money decisions: recency bias, fear headlines, and the Dunning–Kruger effect “Set-and-forget” investing, and why boring usually wins The founder dilemma: all eggs in the business and no personal de-risking plan Pensions: why they can be tax-efficient, protective, and misunderstood The “de-risking” concept approaching retirement (and the 2008 lesson) A simple way to start investing regularly (and remove emotion from the process) The “playpen” rule: keeping speculative investing (stocks/crypto/startups) to a small % Founder mistakes Diarmuid sees constantly: Not taking a salary early Not paying a spouse/partner (where relevant) Being far too cautious in long-term pension funds Missing employer pension matching More about Chartered Capital: Chartered Capital Initial Query Form (https://bit.ly/4a89Mcp) for people who want to get in touch.

Trust, without the theatreA candid conversation with Charlie Martin on greenwashing, greenhushing, and how transparency, evidence and context rebuild trust in sustainability communications.In this episode, we explore why sustainability communication is breaking down, and how organisations can rebuild trust by being specific, evidence-led, and brutally honest about what still is not working. From greenwashing to greenhushing, Charlie lays out a practical blueprint for responsible comms, and makes the case that transparency is not just safer, it is the only way progress becomes shareable, learnable, and real.Let me know if you like this episode by sending a

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."

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

Join Boaz Valkin, Co-Founder and CEO of Falkin, for a raw and essential conversation on the dark side of AI. After his own mother lost her life savings to a sophisticated scam, Boaz left the high-growth world of fintech to build Falkin—a startup dedicated to stopping scams before the money ever moves. In this episode, Boaz breaks down why AI has shifted the "battlefield" from payment security to psychological persuasion, and what founders and consumers must do to survive this new era of digital deception.

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.

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.

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.
