What Does Flack and Billions Have in Common? Social Manipulation Truths

Two interesting shows demonstrate the manipulation of environments and people. Show Flack is about a public relations company, created by Oliver Lansley. The other show is Billions about a hedge fund company, created by Brian Koppelman, David Levien, and Andrew Ross.

In both shows, the main characters are constantly manipulating, influencing, and outwit their enemies. It makes for great entertainment.

In today’s episode, we talk about how these hidden problems can come back to bite you. How to use social manipulation skills for mutual benefit, rather than mutual destruction.
