Shownotes
Why do certain political leaders command such loyalty while institutions crumble? In Episode 299, Barrett Gruber is joined by Frank Spring (Altum Insight & Undaunted Ventures) to deconstruct the science of storytelling.
Frank reveals the neuroscience behind persuasion—explaining why the "human brain adores context" and why facts often fail to change minds in a polarized 2026 landscape. The conversation explores the "Trust Deficit," the power of comforting political narratives, and the urgent need for empathy in modern messaging.
A major focus of this interview is the rise of AI in politics. From the potential erosion of human connection to the impact on rural communities, Frank outlines a roadmap for AI regulation and accountability. Whether you're interested in campaign strategy or just want to understand why social media feels so toxic, this episode offers a masterclass in how stories build (and break) our world.
