## Resource

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I’m breaking down something that most people completely miss when they look at big global events. Everyone is arguing about whether a war is right or wrong - but that’s not actually the most important question. The real question is: how did millions of people already agree with it before it even started? I take you behind the scenes of a real-world example and show you exactly how consent is engineered long before any decision is announced. And once you see it, you won’t be able to unsee it. What might surprise you is that the same psychology used to guide public opinion at a massive scale is the exact same psychology behind every great sales funnel, webinar, and presentation. I’ve spent over 20 years studying persuasion - from Edward Bernays to modern-day marketing - and in this episode, I connect the dots between propaganda, influence, and ethical selling. I even break down how I used this exact framework on stage in front of thousands of people to generate millions in sales in just 90 minutes. Key Highlights: ◼️The concept of “manufacturing consent” and how it’s been used for over 100 years to shape public opinion ◼️The 5-step “Consent Ladder” (moral foundation, promise, escalation, emotional lock, and the final move) ◼️Why people rarely make decisions in the moment - and how those decisions are actually pre-engineered ◼️A behind-the-scenes breakdown of how I used the same psychological framework to generate $3M in 90 minutes ◼️The critical difference between manipulation and ethical persuasion - and why intent matters more than technique At the end of the day, this episode isn’t about politics - it’s about awareness. Once you understand how influence really works, you’ll start to see it everywhere… in the news, in market…
