The 7 Principles of Ethical Persuasion and the Neuroscience Behind Our Own Decisionmaking
Jul 27, 202647 min
Why do great ideas get ignored while average ideas gain traction? Most of us assume people make decisions logically. The science says otherwise. In this fascinating conversation, we sit down with Patrick van der Burght , one of the world's leading experts on ethical persuasion and a certified trainer in Dr. Robert Cialdini's groundbreaking research on influence. Together, we explore why people say "yes"... "no"... or simply never decide at all. If you've ever... struggled to get buy-in from your team, wondered why your best presentation fell flat, wanted to influence without manipulating, or needed others to embrace a new idea... this episode is for you. You'll discover: Why up to 95% of our decisions happen automatically , long before logic catches up. The surprising reason adding more facts often decreases persuasion instead of increasing it. Why many "no's" aren't really no—they're simply indecision. ⚡ How a few words—or even changing the order of a sentence—can dramatically improve trust and influence. The 7 Universal Principles of Ethical Persuasion and how leaders can use them to build trust, strengthen relationships, and inspire action without manipulation. Why these principles work across cultures, industries, and even at home—not just in sales. We also tackle one of the most important questions of all: How do you become more influential without sacrificing your integrity? Patrick's answer is refreshingly simple: The best persuasion doesn't pressure people—it helps them make better decisions. In a world overloaded with information and shrinking attention spans, learning how people actually make decisions may be one of the most valuable leadership skills you can develop.

Jul 14, 202650 min
Most people think optimism means "thinking positive." Merit Kahn believes it's something far more powerful. In this conversation, we explore why optimism isn't about ignoring reality—it's about developing the mindset and skills to navigate it with resilience, humor, and confidence. In this episode, you'll discover: ✨ Why optimism is a competitive advantage in today's AI-powered world. ✨ How laughter and storytelling can help us process life's toughest moments. ✨ Why sales—and leadership—are ultimately about authentic human connection. ✨ The uniquely human skills AI can't replace. ✨ How emotional intelligence shapes influence, trust, and better decision-making. ✨ Why reinvention isn't reserved for midlife—it can happen anytime you're willing to challenge your own story. ✨ Practical ways to stay resilient when everything around you is changing. One of my favorite takeaways: The future doesn't belong to the people who know the most. It belongs to the people who are willing to keep learning, adapting, and connecting with others. Whether you're leading a team, growing a business, or simply navigating change in your own life, this conversation is full of wisdom, humor, and practical ideas you can put into practice immediately. 🎧 Tune in and let us know your biggest takeaway. #Leadership #ArtificialIntelligence #EmotionalIntelligence #Optimism #SalesLeadership #FutureOfWork #Resilience #LifelongLearning #RefirementLife #MagnetLabs

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
