ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

What if your brand message was so powerful, it made your enemies louder than your fans—and that was the point?

Welcome to Episode 232 of Daily Persuasion with Joshua Lisec: “The Unhumans Hypothesis: Controversial Marketing Advice.” In this fiery, no-holds-barred edition, Lisec—New York Times bestselling author, elite ghostwriter of 98 nonfiction books, and certified hypnotist—dives deep into the bold, controversial, and downright unignorable strategy behind one of the most hated—and best-selling—books of the year: Unhumans.

Co-authored by Jack Posobiec and Lisec himself, Unhumans isn’t just a book. It’s a hypothesis. It’s a statement. And most importantly for your business—it’s a marketing masterclass.

In this episode, Lisec walks you through the essence of The Unhumans Hypothesis: the claim that modern left-wing ideologies like communism, Marxism, and progressivism are not simply politics—but a coordinated effort by “unhumans” to dismantle civilization itself. These individuals and movements, driven by nihilism, rage, and resentment, wage war on core human values like beauty, truth, and liberty.

And yes, this episode is full of controversial marketing advice—because that’s the point. Great marketing creates division. Not by lying, but by telling a truth so sharp, so daring, so obvious in hindsight, your haters will come crawling out of the woodwork to try to shut you up. And their hate? That’s your halo.

Lisec references the podcast that started it all—Chronicles of the Revolution, hosted by Posobiec—as the precursor to Unhumans. He breaks down how the evolution from historical nonfiction to viral phenomenon was powered not by appealing to everyone, but by taking a stand no one could ignore.

Even JD Vance—yes, VP JD Vance—has lent his voice to this movement, praising the unhumans book as a vital cultural call to arms. And if you want to learn how to persuade an audience to listen, buy, and believe, this is the case study you need.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
• What exactly The Unhumans Hypothesis is—and how it reframes every modern political narrative
• Why controversy is the smartest form of persuasion psychology
• How persuasive techniques rooted in storytelling, tribal dynamics, and enemy-marking explode your brand visibility
• Real-world persuasion examples from Unhumans, Chronicles of the Revolution, and beyond
• How to discover and declare what is your hypothesis—for your book, brand, or business
• Why Lisec’s tagline “the best way to say it” isn’t just a writing claim—it’s a business philosophy
• The one thing every bestselling book, profitable brand, and political campaign shares: a clearly staked position people have to argue with

And of course, Lisec shares behind-the-scenes insights from unhumansbook.com, where autographed copies of Unhumans are flying off the shelves. The book has been condemned by everyone from MSNBC to Rachel Maddow to the actual Communist Party USA—and Lisec explains why bad reviews from bad people are good reviews every time.

Whether you’re crafting a book, building a business, or shaping a movement, the question remains: What are you willing to say that others aren’t? That’s your hypothesis. That’s your message. And if it divides, that’s exactly why it will work.

So if you’ve ever wondered how to persuade someone to do something, how to use persuasion techniques that trigger tribal reactions and viral traction, and how to transform your worldview into a contagious cause—this episode is for you.
