Confidence Paradox https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2023/23Apr24_Post.mp3 One of the most critical things you can develop is confidence. Of course, there are many kinds of confidence. You can be confident in making a delicious piece of toast. But you can be absolutely lacking confidence when it comes to baking a cake, from scratch, only from memory. […]
Develop Genuine Status
Illogical Humans https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2023/23Apr18_Post.mp3 One of the oldest logical fallacies goes by the name, “Post Hoc, Ergo, Propter Hoc.” Which essentially means, “after this, therefore, because of this.” Basically it means this: We silly humans see two things happening in sequence. And we assume the first thing caused the second. We […]
Unbeatable Frame
Fighting People https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2023/23Apr08_Post.mp3 Humans are naturally competitive. We have to be. It’s in our nature. Nearly all mammals live within a hierarchy. This is the most efficient way. Most of these hierarchies are based on DNA. Like a regular gorilla can’t just “decide” to become a silverback. He’s […]
Secret Frame Hack
Status Instinct https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2023/23Mar30_Post.mp3 Hierarchy is very important. We don’t often like to admit it, but it’s always there. Everything is organized into hierarchies.

Language Power https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2023/23Mar15_Post.mp3 A slippery slope is the net outcome of a well written sales page. The term “slippery slope” is used in a lot of different areas.

Ego Management https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2023/23Mar03_Post.mp3 The ego is something that has troubled humans since the dawn of time. Well, not really the dawn of time. Maybe the dawn of recorded time. Before the invention of agriculture, the ego was perfect. It drove EVERYBODY to compete. But not random competitions. Competitions based […]
Deadly Reframes
Model Of The World https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2023/23Feb10_Post.mp3 There are two ways to look at the world. Or two kinds of people with two kinds of models.

Ignore False Flexers
I’m Better! https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2023/23Feb09Post.mp3 A lot of people like to flex. It is an ancient instinct. Way back in the day, status was everything.

Conceptually, it’s pretty simple. But in real life, knowing the difference isn’t so easy. Science is pure descriptive. People look at the world, and describe what happens. They get more and […]
They’ll Pursue You
Shooting Only https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Dec04_Loop.mp3 The idea of being “outcome independent” has been around for a long time. At least a couple thousand years.
