Today, we’re talking about how to argue. Arguing isn’t just about jumping in and yelling your opinion—it’s about sharing your reasons and backing them up with evidence to make your point clear. I’ll teach you how to do it right, so people understand where you’re coming from, even if they don’t agree. You won’t always win, but you’ll know how to stand your ground and make sense. Let’s get into it.

#3158: "Trump Derangement Syndrome" [TDS], Explained [Part 3 of 3]
In the final part of our three-part series, we break down "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and its connection to cognitive dissonance. What happens when beliefs clash with reality? Most people avoid the hard truth—the red pill—because it challenges their intellect and ego, opting instead for the comfort of the blue pill. We also discuss how access to endless, out-of-context information has made society more divided and ignorant. The question is: will you face reality or stick to what feels safe? The choice is yours.
Show Notes:
[02:46]#8 When Trump wins another election people experience this cognitive dissonance of their beliefs clashing with reality.
[10:26]#9 Most people live their entire lives taking the blue pill rather than the red pill.
[20:11]#10 The world we live in now, where we can access information anywhere at any time, was supposed to make us smarter and more informed, but it's actually made us dumber, more divided, and people have dug into their own belief systems.

#3157: "Trump Derangement Syndrome" [TDS], Explained [Part 2 of 3]
In part two of this series on Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), I break down where it comes from and why it happens. The key idea is cognitive dissonance—when beliefs clash with reality, how do you respond? Most people avoid challenging their beliefs because their ego is tied to being "right." Highly educated individuals are especially vulnerable to this because they often believe their credentials make them immune to being wrong. Stay open-minded and willing to question what you think you know.
Show Notes:
[02:26]#5 What do we do in the moment when our beliefs clash with reality?
[06:17]#6 Challenge your beliefs.
[20:47]#7 Here's the problem: Most people aren't critical thinkers.

#3156: "Trump Derangement Syndrome" [TDS], Explained [Part 1 of 3]
Today, I’m talking about Trump Derangement Syndrome. Maybe you’ve heard the phrase before, or maybe this is your first time hearing it, but you probably get what it means right away. I’ve touched on this topic a lot during my live streams, but I wanted to record it here so it’s on the official record. This platform is where I share my thoughts clearly and completely, without distractions. Let’s get into it.
Show Notes:
[04:46]#1 TDS is actually cognitive dissonance as the tension that occurs when reality and your beliefs come into conflict.
[16:30]#2 First belief: Trump is a bad, unqualified person.
[18:52]#3 Second belief: Most people are smart, logical, and morally upstanding.
[24:37]#4 Third belief: There's no way the majority could vote for Trump.

#3153: What Does Preparation Look Like? [Part 1 of 2]
In this masterclass, I’m talking about what preparation looks like. This question came up during sales training sessions I’ve done, and it applies to anyone in sales—or anyone who’s selling something, even if it’s just yourself. Since we’re all in sales in one way or another, this will help everybody.
Today, I’ll share four points, and I’ll cover the rest in the next episode. Let’s get started.
Show Notes:
[04:11]#1 What is the goal?
[10:10]#2 Knowing your offerings or your products or your services, whatever they happen to be, inside and out.
[17:05]#3 Know your clients and know your opposition better than either knows themselves.
[19:31]#4 Anticipate challenges.
