Whether you're looking to improve your influence, understand how people think, or sharpen your communication skills, this community is for you.
In Part 2 of our deep dive into Part 4 of Win Bigly, we explore two of Scott Adams' most fascinating persuasion concepts: visual persuasion and the art of helping people imagine you in a leadership role.
Why do some images, symbols, and stagecraft stick in our minds while facts quickly fade? How can simple visual cues shape perception before a single word is spoken? Adams argues that persuasion isn't just about arguments—it's about creating mental pictures that people can't easily forget.
We also examine one of the most surprising ideas from the 2016 election: the importance of getting voters to imagine someone as president. Once that mental model exists, it can fundamentally change how people evaluate a candidate.
Join Kevin and Steven as they break down these ideas, connect them to current events, marketing, business, and everyday life, and discuss where these techniques are persuasive, where they become manipulative, and how recognizing them can make you a more informed thinker.
Whether you're interested in psychology, politics, communication, sales, or simply understanding why people believe what they do, this episode offers practical insights into one of the most powerful—and often invisible—forms of persuasion.

Hey folks, we're back on Locals and it feels really good to be here again. We haven’t even hit the six-month mark yet, but man, we’ve already put out twenty episodes. 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...
