Your Persuasion Immersion Begins With Your Training By 6 Of The World's Top Persuaders In Your Home Or Office On DVD!

Renegades of Persuasion is now an annual event, video of the live event will never be sold at this price again, I will never allow anyone in unless they buy one of my training packages or pay the full entry price. I chose the name Renegades of Persuasion very deliberately. I only want to attract free thinkers, intellectually diligent action takers, people who want want to put their finger right on what makes people tick and turn it. I want people who are renegades, people of intensity and integrity. And most of all, people who want to study, understand and apply what works in persuasion and influence NOW!

This is a training event, you need to be prepared to learn. The trainers you are learning from are Doctors of Psychology and the top influencers in their field. I'm also bringing the world's best pitchman to the event to explain exactly how he creates the results he does on stages and trade shows worldwide.

I Know What You Are Thinking

You've been to dozens of seminars and they are all "Pitchfest" or "Sell-a-thons" where speaker after speaker gets on stage and tries to sell you something else. You may have even received a copy of my book because you saw me at one of those kind of events. I make no apologies for those kind of events or for speaking at them, they are also effective learning venues for many. You've also been to events that repackage and rehash the same old information you've heard a million times and that you've already read in their book.

This Is Not That Event

Selling you things is not the central focus of this event, teaching you new, replicatable skills is. We are also conducting a social experiment round idea contagion that you'll be taking part in, this is an event as much about learning as it is about testing new ideas right in front of you. This event is fun for all of us, it is where we get to share our most solid material, that material that you need to be using every day and we get to push the edge a little and share some of the most cutting edge, interesting and controversial material as well. It takes someone special to experience this training. You have to be a committed student of persuasion, influence, advertising, marketing, or sales to really get this, but if you are one of those people, this will prove to be your Nirvana.

Here's What You Can Expect To Learn

I've structured this training so that you can be exposed to the very best ideas in persuasion and influence today. I've chosen my trainers specifically for their ability to bring a particular level of training to you, each will provide you with another layer of persuasive skill that you can leverage at will. Allow me to introduce you to the speakers you'll be trained by. I'm going to give you their names and what they'll be teaching you, I'll give you their detailed biographies later and feel free to click on any of the linked names for their website or more info.

Storytelling is one of our oldest forms of communication. It is a way that ideas and information have been transferred person to person for thousands of years before radio, television and other mass media and now via those tools. It holds one of the most important keys to persuasion and mass influence that you can possess. Once you understand how storytelling works you have at your disposal the one tool that slips in under people's conscious radar and impacts them deeply. It is the basis for movies, marketing, advertising, negotiation, religion, propaganda and more.

Joseph Campell popularized the term Monomyth (often referred to as The Hero's Journey) which he took from James Joyce's book Finnegans Wake (It is correct, Finnegans has no apostrophe). This basic narrative structure appears in all cultures and is described by Campbell in the introduction to his seminal work on the subject The Hero With A Thousand Faces like this:

"A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man."

Chris Vogel a writer of some regard who has been involved in writing many high grossing movies that follow The Hero's Journey describes the journey in 12 steps:

Vogel's 12 Stage's look like this:

1. Ordinary World - The hero's normal world before the story begins

2. Call To Adventure- The hero is presented with a problem, challenge or adventure

3. Refusal Of The Call - The hero refuses the challenge or journey, usually because he's scared

4. Meeting with the Mentor - The hero meets a mentor to gain advice or training for the adventure

5. Crossing the First Threshold - The hero crosses leaves the ordinary world and goes into the special world

6. Tests, Allies, Enemies - The hero faces tests, meets allies, confronts enemies & learn the rules of the Special World.

7. Approach - The hero has hit setbacks during tests & may need to try a new idea

8. Ordeal - The biggest life or death crisis

9. Reward - The hero has survived death, overcomes his fear and now earns the reward

10. The Road Back - The hero must return to the Ordinary World.

11. Resurrection Hero - another test where the hero faces death – he has to use everything he's learned

12. Return with Elixir - The hero returns from the journey with the “elixir”, and uses it to help everyone in the Ordinary World

Here Joseph Campbell talks about The Hero's Journey as it plays out in the movie Star Wars.

I did a video presentation on how to use effective persuasive storytelling in business which you'll find in segments here.

This process works particularly well when you are creating media releases, telling stories for the media or presenting messages to large groups . . . it works equally well one on one. If you want your fame to spread, tell a story using this format that is easy for people to grasp and tell again. Fame is built on powerful stories.

Begin searching the stories around you and notice how many of them incorporate either intentionally or unintentionally the elements of The Hero's Journey. Classic myths from many cultures share this structure as do the stories of Jesus, Moses, and Buddha. A good number of high grossing, popular movies and books follow The Hero's Journey including Star Wars, The Matrix, The Lion King, Beowulf, The Lord of the Rings and Ender's Game.

Watch the videos and see how you can apply storytelling to your persuasive efforts and watch how they transform. Be sure to leave your comments here and let me know your experience, I look forward to reading them.
