Episode notes

Ever walked away from a conversation wondering, “What just happened?”

Have you felt manipulated, misunderstood—or just plain invisible—when it mattered most? Why do some people seem to effortlessly influence others, while you feel like you're always being talked over or pushed aside?

Whether it’s at work, in love, or in everyday conversations, the ability to influence and protect yourself from manipulation is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.

In this electrifying masterclass, Dr. David Snyder, internationally acclaimed expert in hypnosis, persuasion, and emotional influence, opens the vault to the most powerful psychological tools you’ve never been taught in school.

This is not about trickery or deception. It’s about learning how to ethically influence others, protect yourself from toxic manipulation, and rewire your own nervous system for confidence, clarity, and power.

Tune in now to unlock the tools to protect your mind, ethically influence others, and take back control of your reality—before someone else does.

Quotes:

"In persuasion and influence, you don't need a lot of information, you just need information that's proven and well applied, and the willingness to use it." - Dr. David Snyder
"Humans inherently from their fundamental reptile brain move towards things that give them pleasure and away from the things that bring them pain." - Dr. David Snyder

"When you want somebody to change their mind, the hardest way to do it is by using logic or using rhetorical argument." - Dr. David Snyder

Takeaways:

Master the “Frame Game” for Instant State Control

Practice Dr. David’s Frame Game exercise daily to train your nervous system to access states of joy, confidence, or calm—on demand. Assignment: Pick one empowering memory, amplify it using the visual “frame,” and install it in your physiology before any high-stakes interaction.

Shift Your Physiology to Shift Your Psychology

Your posture and breathing directly impact your emotional state and influence power. Try this: Next time you feel anxious or insecure, straighten your spine, open your chest, and breathe deeply for 60 seconds—then re-engage.

Get Crystal Clear on Your Outcome

Influence without clarity is manipulation. Ask yourself: “What do I want to achieve in this interaction—and how will I know I’m getting closer to it?”
