The Laundry Breakthrough and Unilever Acquisition
Latin America, a struggling detergent brand, and one question that changed everything.
I was tasked with improving sales for a little-known detergent, Xtra, barely shipping 30,000 boxes. While others crunched numbers in boardrooms, I went to the river. There, I met a woman scrubbing clothes by hand, frustrated by how the detergent didn’t “rub” properly into the fabric.
Her words became my strategy. I recommended a formula change and a simple but powerful message: “Rubs On Better.”
The result? Sales exploded from 30,000 to 1 million boxes. The brand was later acquired by Unilever—a testament to listening, innovating, and leveraging raw emotion to drive action.
The Caregiver Campaign That Stopped Itself
"You may not know it yet, but you may already be a caregiver."
This simple, heart-pulling message became one of the most successful lead-generation campaigns I’ve ever created. The campaign for All Valley Care in Phoenix, Arizona tapped into a deep, unspoken truth: millions of people care for others without identifying as caregivers. By naming their experience, we gave them permission to see themselves, and act.
The response was so overwhelming, lead generation had to be halted because demand couldn’t be met. That’s what happens when you craft messaging that resonates at a soul-deep level.
The Butt Angle That Shook the Apparel World
How do you make pants sexy? You don’t. You make them irresistible.
While building apparel brands across America, I stumbled onto a provocative truth: the most profitable messaging angle wasn’t about comfort, durability, or style. It was about the butt.
Highlighting how apparel enhances appearance, specifically, “makes your butt look better,” was the emotional trigger no one dared to exploit. I did. The results? Game-changing.
Today, brands like Birddogs and Jack Archer ride the wave of this messaging revolution, driving millions in sales. It’s proof that the right angle isn’t just memorable, but magnetic as well.
Whether it’s invoking envy with a pair of pants, creating a personal connection with a caregiver, or solving a detergent’s “rub” problem, my philosophy is simple: emotions are the only currency that matter.
I don’t chase trends or follow templates. I chase results by finding the stories that connect, provoke, and compel. My work isn’t about selling; it’s about making people feel something so strongly they can’t say no.

Persuade Yourself First
Before you influence others, you need to master your own mind. Every chapter of The Puppet Master’s Bible pushes you to confront the barriers you’ve built within:
- Overcome self-doubt with autonomy-based persuasion techniques.
- Rewire your internal narratives with emotional priming.
- Master the feedback loop of confidence, where every win feeds the next.
This isn’t just self-help—it’s self-command.
Manipulate, Ethically
Let’s get uncomfortable. Persuasion walks a thin line between influence and manipulation. This book doesn’t shy away from the ethical gray zones. It forces you to ask:
- Are you using influence to guide—or to control?
- When does persuasion become coercion?
- How far are you willing to go to get what you want?
Power is power. How you use it defines you. The Puppet Master’s Bible prepares you to wield it responsibly—or ruthlessly.
How I Learned The Dirty Truth
I wasn’t just learning about markets and economics at the University of Chicago. I was uncovering how human behavior dictates every economic outcome. Then came neuroscience research in Latin America, where I saw the raw mechanics of influence in action. The brain, it turns out, isn’t rational. It’s a liar, hardwired to respond to triggers that bypass logic entirely.
But nothing shocked me more than studying political campaigns across global spectrums. Left, right, center, it doesn’t matter. Every politician, every system, every ad is running the same playbook: fear, hope, tribalism. It’s manipulation dressed as progress and it’s all the same game.
From selling soap to winning elections, the tactics are identical. But when these tools are flipped, not to manipulate but to empower, they become the most transformative force in the world. That's why I don’t teach manipulation for manipulation's sake. I teach how to own the tools of influence and use them for good.
