Decode the Manipulative Playbook: Control Your Mind and Freedom
In this episode, I dive deep into how social media and mass media manipulate and control our thoughts and beliefs through psychological operations (psyops). I chat with Brandy, my wife, about the impact of these manipulations on our lives. From understanding the precision of engineered emotional triggers to dissecting the FATE model—Focus, Authority, Tribe, Emotion—I reveal the tactics used by media to control your attention and thoughts. We'll also look at the importance of challenging accepted narratives and being critical of so-called experts' opinions. Don't let fear, novelty, and emotion hijack your rational thinking—learn how to ask better questions and reclaim your cognitive freedom.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
