What are the best strategies to get people to say “Yes” to your requests in life? Acclaimed psychologist Robert Cialdini dives deep into the seven small things that make a huge impact in influencing others, as well as the difference between being influenced and being manipulated into making decisions. What are the tactics, how do they work, and how do we defend against them? This episode is jam-packed with practical advice that will make you more persuasive in life.
Known colloquially as “The Godfather of Influence,” Cialdini is a foundational expert in the science of influence and how to apply it ethically in business. His books, including Influence: Psychology of Persuasion and Pre-Suasion, have sold more than 7 million copies in 44 different languages, and he is the Regents’ Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Marketing at Arizona State University.

Sahil Bloom is an investor, entrepreneur, and creator. In less than 2 years, Sahil has gained over 500,000 Twitter followers. But in this episode, we didn't focus that much on his hyper-growth online. Instead, we spoke about how Sahil got mentored by BOTH Tim Cook and Condoleezza Rice, how Sahil became more secure in himself, and what it means to be a "darkest hour friend."
