The Hidden Currents: Why Your Best Argument Lost (Chapter 3) (AI voice)
This episode is narrated by David's AI voice — a digital copy of his voice he uses so the show keeps going on the days he can't record.
A room full of sharp executives turns from cautious to reckless the moment a gain is reframed as a loss — and that single flip explains why so many good ideas die in good meetings. Drawing on Chapter 3 of David's book, Cracking The Influence Code, this episode walks through loss aversion, anchoring, social proof, confirmation bias and the endowment effect, and the reframe that dissolves the self-blame of "I'm just not persuasive". The usable tool is the WISE model — four moves to run before your next important conversation.
This episode draws on Chapter 3 of David's book, Cracking The Influence Code: “The Hidden Currents – Why We're Predictably Irrational”.

From the Archive: Andre Hoffman and the Word He Refused to Accept (Episode 29) (AI voice)
This episode is narrated by David's AI voice — a digital copy of his voice he uses so the show keeps going on the days he can't record.
Looking back at Episode 29 of Watts Involved, when Andre Hoffman — founder of My Techie and the Make a Difference Foundation — explained why he refuses the word 'retrenched'. David unpacks the mechanism behind relabelling: why the word you use on yourself quietly sets the range of what you'll attempt next, drawing on framing research and affect labelling. The tool this week comes from Chapter 9 of Cracking The Influence Code: audit the verb you've been using about your own situation, and replace it with an accurate one.

Chapter 2: Your Influential Brain — Why Connection Has a Mechanism (AI voice)
This episode is narrated by David's AI voice — a digital copy of his voice he uses so the show keeps going on the days he can't record.
A senior executive once told David he couldn't reach his audience, and the anxiety was crippling — so instead of drilling presentation technique, they worked on the neurology underneath it. This episode walks through three brain essentials from Chapter 2 of Cracking The Influence Code — mirror neurons, oxytocin and the amygdala — and lands on the CARE framework as the week's usable tool. Mechanism first, platitudes never.
This episode draws on Chapter 2 of David's book, Cracking The Influence Code: “Your Influential Brain – Neuroscience Essentials”.
