In this episode of Encouraging the Encouragers, host Mitch Matthews answers a great question from a listener Rob -- a passionate presenter who dreams of becoming a highly paid speaker. Rob feels like he’s hitting a wall with audiences—where people seem to like his ideas, but he’s unsure if they truly get them or if they’ll implement them.

Mitch dives into a powerful concept called the "Intellectual Immune System"—the natural tendency to resist outside ideas—and shares an effective strategy to break through it.

The concept is called the "Teach Back Method." He explains how creating a sense of ownership helps audiences embrace and implement ideas... making them stick long after a presentation.

Mitch also shares a surprising but real-world example that shows how a simple "adjustment" can make all the difference in engagement and commitment.

If you want to improve your impact as a speaker, leader, or coach... this episode is packed with actionable insights!

KEY CONCEPTS:

✅ What the Intellectual Immune System is and why it makes audiences resist new ideas
✅ How the Teach Back Method helps people take ownership of concepts and put them into action
✅ Why small adjustments can be the key to audience engagement and long-term change
✅ How to ensure your ideas don’t just inspire, but actually create lasting transformation

Hey Encourager! Welcome back to Encouraging the Encouragers with Mitch Matthews. In today’s Philosophy Friday episode, we’re diving into a single, powerful word: love.

💡 The Challenge of Staying Encouraged – How social media and news outlets thrive on negativity and how it can wear us down.
🧠 The Brain Science Behind It – Why our brains are wired to focus on anger and fear, and how that impacts our daily mindset.
❤️ Why Love is the Answer – A practical approach to shifting your focus and staying encouraged.
🔑 Actionable Ways to Lead with Love – Small but powerful ways to bring encouragement into your daily life.

• Social media platforms intentionally amplify frustration and division because negativity is more addictive than positivity.
• Our brains (specifically the amygdala) are wired to scan for danger, making it easy to get caught up in negativity.
• Shifting your focus to what you can control—starting with acts of love—can keep you encouraged.
• Simple actions like thanking a barista, checking in on a struggling friend, or encouraging a fellow entrepreneur can create a ripple effect of positivity.
• When you spread love, you can’t help but get some on you!
