ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

What if your loudest haters were actually your most valuable marketers?

In Episode 272 of Daily Persuasion with Joshua Lisec, titled “Trump’s $16M '60 Minutes' Win: How to Turn Critics into Cash,” Lisec reveals how Donald J. Trump transformed a media hit piece into a multi-million-dollar win—and how you can apply the exact same strategy to your business, personal brand, or political presence.

This episode is not just about the 60 Minutes lawsuit that led to a $16 million payout. It's about how to use haters to your advantage by mastering persuasion techniques that reframe the narrative and position you as untouchable. Trump didn’t just win in court—he won the court of public opinion first. And that’s the big idea: frame the narrative loudly and early.

Lisec explains why repetition, timing, and confidence matter when you’re under attack. In the case of Trump v 60 Minutes, it wasn’t just the legal team doing the heavy lifting—it was the strategy of relentless messaging. Trump called out the manipulation, the false edits, and the journalistic malpractice immediately. He said it again and again. That’s persuasion psychology in action.

Whether you’re dealing with internet trolls, customer complaints, or corporate sabotage, this episode shows you how to turn critics into cash. Your haters really can become your most valuable marketers—if you handle them the way Donald Trump handled 60 Minutes.

Joshua Lisec, bestselling ghostwriter of 101 books and certified hypnotist, uses the lens of Daily Persuasion to uncover Sun Tzu quotes and classic strategies that underpin Trump’s win. As Sun Tzu said, “Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.” Trump did just that—by making the cost of continuing the fight greater than the price of surrender.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
• Why haters are often your most valuable marketers
• The critical importance of being first and loud in framing a narrative
• How to use persuasive techniques like consistency, hyperbole, and escalation to create leverage
• Why the Trump 60 Minutes lawsuit wasn’t just a legal win—but a persuasion masterclass
• How to apply Sun Tzu’s wisdom to business, relationships, and politics
• What it means to offer your opponent a “golden bridge of retreat”—and why it makes people pay you to go away

You’ll also hear practical examples of persuasion in advertising, and techniques of persuasion in writing that can elevate your next tweet, article, or campaign. From persuasion psychology to how to persuade someone to do something, Lisec brings actionable insight with every line.

What makes Lisec so powerful as a persuasion expert is that he doesn’t just theorize. He demonstrates. He uses Donald Trump’s $16 million win to teach real, repeatable tactics you can implement today. This is not about politics—it’s about winning the narrative battle, just like Trump did.

Whether you’re fighting a PR disaster or looking to boost your brand with bold messaging, Episode 272 of Daily Persuasion is a must-watch. Discover how Trump’s $16M '60 Minutes' Win is really a blueprint on how to turn critics into cash—and how you can do the same.
