Inner Propaganda with Owen Fitzpatrick

In this episode of Changing Minds, I go into how Socrates changed the world—not by writing books but by asking better questions. His Socratic questioning has influenced philosophy, psychology, and even modern-day leadership. But how can his insights help you live a more meaningful, intelligent life today?

In this episode, I explore: - Socrates' life and his lasting influence on philosophy. - The Socratic questioning approach—how deep questions can reshape your thinking. - Why he chose death over abandoning his principles. - How his ideas apply to critical thinking, leadership, and decision-making today.

By the end, you'll see why Socrates' approach to questioning can help you challenge assumptions, improve your thinking, and make better decisions.

Hit play, and let's journey into the world of Socrates! 🎧✨

In this episode of Changing Minds, I sit down with my longtime friend Kev Fitzsimons, a digital marketing expert and musician, to challenge the "always be optimizing" mindset.

We talk about:

- The illusion of control & why trying too hard makes life harder. - The toxic positivity trap & why it's okay to feel bad sometimes. - The problem with social media & the age of outrage. - Are we really that special? (Spoiler: Probably not.) - How acceptance & perspective can lead to a more fulfilling life.

This is a refreshing take on letting go of the pressure to be exceptional and embracing a realistic, freeing outlook on life.

Tune in, and let's rethink what truly matters.
