ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

What if the loudest critics are actually doing your marketing for you?

In Episode 24 of Daily Persuasion, Joshua Lisec unpacks why Bad Reviews from Bad People Are Good Reviews—and how to turn them into your strongest form of influence. With Kamala Harris news at a peak and headlines buzzing about her alignment with Dick Cheney, Lisec exposes the persuasion psychology behind what’s really going on when the unpopular praise you—or slam your opponent.

This isn’t just political commentary. This is a masterclass in persuasive techniques, especially in the chaotic final month before the Trump–Vance 2024 election. Whether you're an entrepreneur, public figure, or aspiring influencer, you need to hear this episode if you've ever asked: How do I persuade someone to do something—even if the world’s against me?

Lisec lays it out: When Kamala Harris celebrates endorsements from bad people—like Dick Cheney, Mitt Romney, or John Bolton—she’s unknowingly running ads for Trump. This is where persuasion turns. When despised figures offer bad reviews, they become good reviews in the eyes of your audience. These bad reviews examples aren’t mistakes—they're case studies in persuasion techniques. The crowd doesn’t just watch—they switch sides.

Using real-world examples of persuasion in advertising, Lisec breaks down how Trump's campaign uses bad reviews as rocket fuel. He revisits iconic Trump tactics, quote-tweeting haters with “I’m Donald Trump, and I approve this message.” These negative reviews become Trump endorsements. Each bad review from a bad person creates credibility in reverse—turning persuasion on its head. In this episode, Lisec shows how you can do the same in your own niche.

Whether you’re analyzing Kamala and Dick Cheney as a strategic pair or exploring techniques of persuasion in writing, Lisec takes you deeper than hot takes. He references his bestselling book So Good They Call You a Fake, where he shares his story as the ghostwriter behind 70+ books before age 30. In it, and again here, he reveals how bad reviews—even false, anonymous ones—are a flex. They signal relevance. Authority. Visibility. It’s what separates amateurs from power players.

From persuasion examples pulled from war-torn political arenas to the now-iconic “Come try the worst coffee one woman on TripAdvisor ever had” signs, Lisec gives practical applications. And he doesn’t stop there. Want to know how to persuade someone to do something—like buy your product, support your cause, or join your mission? Daily Persuasion is your training ground. Especially this episode.

This isn’t just persuasion psychology. This is survival strategy for the modern brand. Joshua Lisec dares you to seek out negative reviews, to own your criticism, and to repost your haters—just like Trump does. You don’t fight fire with silence. You fight it with gasoline and a megaphone.
