    The Propaganda Playbook: Holy War (How the Pentagon Is Selling a Crusade to American Troops) - #Marketing - Ep. 123
    Apr 13 2026
    There’s a moment when a message stops being information… and starts becoming identity. And when that shift happens, logic doesn’t just lose - it becomes irrelevant. That’s the thread I couldn’t stop pulling on this week. Because what’s unfolding right now isn’t just about war, politics, or headlines… it’s about one of the oldest persuasion frameworks ever created quietly running in real time. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it. In this episode, I break down what I call the “Moral Crusade” technique - how leaders take a cause and elevate it into something sacred. Drawing from Gustave Le Bon’s crowd psychology and the origins of modern propaganda, I show you how identity gets fused with belief… and why that fusion is so powerful it can move people beyond reason. Then I bring it back to what we do as entrepreneurs - because the same psychological drivers behind movements, religions, and even wars… are the exact same ones behind the most successful brands and communities in the world. Key Highlights: ◼️The “Sacred Propaganda” framework and why turning a cause into a belief system changes everything ◼️Gustave Le Bon’s 130-year-old discovery about crowds (and why it still runs the world today) ◼️How identity fusion makes people defend ideas like they’re defending themselves ◼️The real reason movements outperform products (and why logic alone never wins) ◼️The 5-part “Identity Stack” I’ve used to build tribes, not just customers At the end of the day, this episode isn’t about agreeing or disagreeing with what’s happening in the world - it’s about recognizing the pattern underneath it. Because once you understand how identity is shaped, you start to see the same mechanics everywhere… in media, in movements, and inside your own marketing. The real question is: are you consciously building something that empowers people… or accidentally creating something that controls them? ◼️If you’ve got a product, offer, service… or idea… I’ll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event →⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ◼️Still don’t have a funnel?

    The Propaganda Playbook: Epstein Files (Why You Know LESS After History's Biggest Document Dump) | #Marketing - Ep. 122
    Apr 6 2026
    Three million pages drop overnight… and somehow, everyone walks away knowing less than they did before. That’s the paradox I couldn’t stop thinking about. Everyone’s arguing over names, sides, and headlines - but they’re missing the real story happening right in front of them. Because when you zoom out, what you’re actually watching isn’t transparency… it’s a masterclass in how information is controlled. And once you see the pattern, you realize this isn’t new - it’s been happening for over a hundred years. In this episode, I break down one of the most powerful persuasion techniques ever created: narrative control. Drawing from the work of Edward Bernays (the father of public relations), I walk you through how the sequence of information - not just the information itself - shapes what people believe. And then I connect it to something way closer to home: your marketing. Because the same exact framework being used to manage global narratives is the one I’ve used to build funnels, create movements, and scale companies to massive levels. Key Highlights: ◼️The 5-step “Narrative Control Sequence” (promise, delay, controlled release, flood, and algorithmic gate) ◼️Why overwhelming people with information can be more effective than hiding it ◼️The real meaning behind “whoever controls the sequence controls the belief” ◼️A wild historical breakdown of how Bernays made the color green fashionable to sell cigarettes ◼️How to ethically apply the same principles inside your funnels, ads, and customer journeys At the end of the day, this episode isn’t about politics or conspiracy theories - it’s about awareness and responsibility. Once you understand how narratives are built, you start to see them everywhere… in the news, in social media, and inside your own business. The real question is: are you intentionally building the world your customers step into… or are you accidentally letting someone else build it for you? ◼️If you’ve got a product, offer, service… or idea… I’ll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event →⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ◼️Still don’t have a funnel?

  • I Walked Away From My Biggest Event... Then Everything Changed | #Marketing - Ep. 121

    I Walked Away From My Biggest Event... Then Everything Changed | #Marketing - Ep. 121
    Mar 30 2026
    In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I’m sharing something I never thought I’d say again… Funnel Hacking Live is coming back. But to really understand why, you have to go back to why we ended it in the first place. For over a decade, FHL wasn’t just an event - it was the heartbeat of an entire movement. And we chose to walk away from it at its peak. Not because it wasn’t working, but because the world had changed. AI is compressing decades into days, and I knew the old playbook wouldn’t build the future. So I stepped back, created space, and started rebuilding everything from the ground up. What I didn’t expect was what happened next. The community didn’t move on. People kept asking for it, talking about it, missing the connection, the energy, and the transformation. At the same time, I was deep in the trenches discovering something new - how funnel hacking combined with AI is changing everything. Faster launches, higher conversions, smaller teams, bigger impact. And that’s when it clicked… we had to come back. Not as a reunion. Not as nostalgia. But as something completely different - an encore event built for the next generation of entrepreneurs. Key Highlights: ◼️Why we ended Funnel Hacking Live at its peak - and what had to change before it could come back ◼️The official announcement of the Funnel Hacking Live Encore event (and why it’s a one-time experience) ◼️How AI is compressing decades of business growth into days - and why most people are still using it wrong ◼️The breakthrough moment where AI + funnel hacking became the ultimate unfair advantage ◼️Behind-the-scenes examples of campaigns built in hours instead of months - and why they outperform everything At the end of the day, this episode isn’t just about bringing back an event - it’s about stepping into a new era. There are moments in your life where everything shifts… before and after. I believe this is one of those moments for entrepreneurs. The return of Funnel Hacking Live isn’t about going backward - it’s about preparing you for what’s coming next. The only question is: will you be in the room when it happens? ◼️https://www.funnelhackinglive.com ◼️If you’ve got a product, offer, service… or idea… I’ll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event →⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ◼️Still don’t have a funnel?

I randomly was scrolling podcast to listen to, and thought to myself, “ just pick one.”… I am now on my third day straight of listening.

Full of wonderful ideas, secrets, and approaches to sales and obtaining clientele.
By being an outside the box thinker, Russel and his guests blew my mind.

Take five minutes and just click on one of his podcasts. You won’t regret it.
