This Sunday on Persuasion Club, Kevin and Steven talk with Jeff Callahan - author of Confidence-Maxxing, communication coach who's worked with Google, Microsoft, the US Army and more, and a regular on Scott Adams' show. 🚀
Jeff shares how he went from a bad stutter and extreme awkwardness to tracking over 90,000 conversations and building real social confidence. We dive into the practical systems from his book: crushing awkward moments, choosing your own reality, going first, sparking enthusiasm, and treating confidence like a learnable skill instead of something you're just born with. 🔥
We also tie it all back to everyday persuasion in the trenches, plus run a fun "Who Wants to Be a Persuader?" segment to test the ideas.
If you've ever overthought conversations, meetings, or networking, this one's packed with stuff you can actually use right away. 💡

We went deep with twelve episodes on Robert Cialdini’s book, we’re currently tearing through Win Bigly, and we built our own live game "Who Wants to Be a Persuader" that we play on the show. We’ve also done persuasion duels, tech talks, and a bunch more. It’s been a wild, fun ride building this from scratch.
Even though we love being part of the Scott Adams community, we’re working hard to stand on our own two feet and create something original. That’s why we’re back on Locals, to connect with you directly, share behind-the-scenes stuff, and give you exclusive content you won’t get on X, YouTube, or Rumble.
And here’s something we’re really pumped about: we’re actively working on a book about persuasion that focuses specifically on Scott Adams and his techniques. We can’t wait to share more about...
