If you've ever felt uncomfortable “selling yourself” — this episode might just change everything. In this episode, Jason Harris, co-founder of the award-winning ad agency Mechanism and author of The Soulful Art of Persuasion, shares how he built a powerhouse business without using manipulation or salesy tactics. Instead, he leaned into empathy, generosity, and storytelling — values most people don’t associate with persuasion. We talk about how to lead with integrity, what it really means to influence without forcing, and why your reputation is the most powerful negotiation tool you have.
