If you have a rival at work, a difficult client, or just someone who seems to hate you for no reason, your instinct is probably to either fight back or kill them with kindness. Both are mistakes.

In 1736, Benjamin Franklin faced a powerful enemy who wanted to destroy his career. Franklin didn't apologize, and he didn't attack. He used a counter-intuitive psychological strategy that didn't just neutralize the threat—it turned his rival into a lifelong friend.

In this video, we break down the "Ben Franklin Effect" and the psychology of Cognitive Dissonance. You will learn how to hack your enemy’s brain, bypass their ego, and turn professional conflict into personal loyalty.

This isn't about manipulation; it's about playing Chess while everyone else is playing Checkers.

Here is the blueprint:

The Ask: The specific script to use to disarm an enemy without looking weak.
