RERUN EPISODE – Originally released Oct 18, 2021 We’re bringing back this powerful episode because the message still hits home. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt or felt like you’re just not good enough, this one’s for you. In this rerun, I explore: Why simply visualizing or manifesting isn’t enough How to start recognizing your own potential, even when you don’t feel it The impact of comparison (and how to turn it into a tool for growth) Why accepting your limits can actually empower you The difference between being perfect and being your best Quotes worth remembering: “You believe in yourself to the degree that you believe you exist.” “Choosing to believe in yourself is choosing to believe in the possibility that you can.” “When you believe that you can do whatever it is... the comparison itself is rendered in such a way that it doesn’t impact you the same way.” If you’ve been feeling stuck or uncertain, this episode might be the reminder you didn’t know you needed.

In this episode of Changing Minds, I explore one of my favorite topics: persuasion—how to ethically and effectively influence others. I break down the difference between persuasion and manipulation, examine psychological roadblocks like confirmation bias and reactance, and unpack Aristotle’s classic ethos, logos, and pathos with a modern addition: demos—the audience. Whether you're leading a team, selling an idea, or having a meaningful conversation, persuasion is your superpower. I’ll share frameworks, insights, and strategies to help you win hearts and minds while staying grounded in integrity and empathy.
