59: On Influence, Ethics & Buffy the Vampire Slayer (feat. Johnny Ball)

Where does persuasion stop and manipulation begin? How can your community prosper without turning into a cult-like monster? And does your content have to be laugh-out-loud entertaining? We'll answer these questions and more in this jam-packed episode. (One could even say it slays.)

This week, Annie P. sits down with the brilliant and ever-charming Johnny Ball. Johnny is a persuasion expert, speaking coach, and the host of Speaking Influence. He also firmly believes Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the best show in the history of TV. Together, they unpack that bold claim, clarify the steps to persuade and empower simultaneously, and provide tips on surviving "Cancel Culture" and finding a wider audience.
