You Control What You Hear, Not What Peop...

About this episode

"The political strategist and pollster Frank Luntz is fond of the expression, 'It’s not what you say, it’s what people hear.' His point is that politicians often think they come across to the public one way, but in fact are seen and heard quite differently. The same goes with issues, which might seem straightforward but in fact are interpreted with all sorts of baggage and context."

Ryan explores this expression and what lessons you can learn from it on today's Daily Stoic Podcast.
