My guest today is Vanessa Van Edwards, author of Captivate. Vanessa jokes that she is a recovering awkward person and learned in college that she could apply systems thinking to people skills. Once she started making formulas around communicating with others, she found there was more people like her.

The topic is her book Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Bringing the unconscious to the conscious
  • Confidence and lack of confidence
  • Introverts, extroverts and ambiverts
  • First impressions
  • Conversational spark
  • What makes a great presentation

“Expecting greatness creates greatness.” – Vanessa Van Edwards

Right and Wrong

A recent conversation:

Luis: Hi Michael this last podcast is really amazing with Harry Dent. To be honest I live in Portugal and I don´t know what we need more to open our eyes from our Global State of Coma. Keep going with this amazing podcast.

Michael: Why did you like this one so much?

Luis: It is amazing that you keep explaining the manipulation in so many different ways and we just can´t see. And this one is from a more fundamental I hope more people understand now people just love this kind of numbers.

Michael: Some people think it is bad to discuss these issues–trade price alone they say. Sure trade the price for trading, but we as human beings can’t keep ignoring what is the appropriate way to run societies. There is a right and wrong.

Who’s Your Daddy?

A recent email conversation:

Ray: I’ve read all the books and saw the movie. I really enjoy the podcast. I’ve learned a lot from you work and look forward to seeing what new projects your working on. At times i may not agree with your rants, but it does make me think Thank you for all you’ve done.

Covel: Thanks. What do you disagree on?

Ray: Perhaps agree or disagree is not the proper term, for I find your work very enlightening. Though I agree with the argument you are making, at times I wonder if there is a better way to make. For instance, the image of Big Ben kissing me on the lips and tucking me in is not the most pleasant. I understand and agree with your point of view just not the visual image. Maybe it’s just the green tea talking.

Covel: Ah I see. Two ways I see that. Gross and a better image to be used perhaps. Or spot on and it makes people terribly uncomfortable to think about how much power they have entrusted to him. And that his position has truly become daddy-esque.

Ray: Did we entrust him with the power? He’s not elected. Or did he just take the power? 2008 provided a great opportunity for someone to grab power and Ben took as much as he could.

Covel: People have voted for the overall system (that includes Bernanke) to take care of them from cradle to grave. Sort of like when we are 5 years old and our parents tuck us in and give us a kiss.
