Inner Propaganda with Owen Fitzpatrick explores the unconscious beliefs and stories that shape how we think, decide, and lead. Owen is a social psychologist, keynote speaker, and author of Inner Propaganda (Ideapress, 2026). For over two decades, he's studied belief systems, from global boardrooms to field research in North Korea, Rwanda, and Afghanistan.

It's always the other channel. That's naive realism, and it's one of the biggest barriers to meaningful conversation. In this episode of Inner Propaganda, I introduce the Five Types of Truth: past, objective, shared, emotional, and desired. Each one shapes how we think, decide, and relate to others. Each has its own power and its own risks. I also share a practical framework for using this model when you're trying to influence someone else, including a step-by-step example around helping someone move past their fear of artificial intelligence. What you'll discover: – Why naive realism shuts down real conversation – The five types of truth, with real-world examples for each – Why belief is often the admission fee for belonging to a group – How to communicate more effectively by understanding which truth someone is operating from Pre-order Inner Propaganda: https://innerpropaganda.com/ Visit: https://owenfitzpatrick.com/","meta_description":"Nobody thinks they're the one watching propaganda.
