The roast
Howie calls himself a Chief Behavioring Officer, but the only behavior he’s mastered is posting 49 times a month to convince his 113,000 followers that losing a pitch in 2015 is a personality trait. He spent a decade obsessing over human influence just to achieve an engagement rate lower than a toll-free customer service line.
About Howie
In 2015, we walked into a $10 million pitch. We had it all: big ideas, sharp strategy, stunning creative. For an hour, we delivered with energy, conviction, even laughter. We walked out relieved. Certain we had nailed it. Then came the silence. A day passed. Then three. Then a week. Two weeks. Finally, the news: we lost. Over a million dollars in man hours, straight to the trash. Why? Looking back, the signals were everywhere: - New stakeholders appeared in the audience. - Our key contact was still new in her role. - We had the RFP, but never uncovered the *real* goals and desires. - Engagement was one-way, never true connection. We missed it all. That’s when it hit me: **winning is never just about the pitch.** It’s the “invisible” forces, the “hidden” signals, the fundamentals of human behavior. Those who understand it, can shape outcomes. Those who don’t, call it luck. That loss changed everything. Because these forces don’t just decide $10M pitches. They decide products sold, deals closed, ideas spread, lives changed. That’s why I’ve been obsessed with influencing human behavior for the past decade. - Mindset - Branding - Charisma - Marketing - Leadership - Storytelling - Psychology - Negotiation - Communication and so on… It all comes back to the same invisible truths. I research, read, and write about them every week in my *Influence Anyone* newsletter, aggregating 13.5 hours of research for each issue. (howiechan.com/newsletter) I interview world experts like Robert Cialdini, Will Storr, Nir Eyal, Melina Palmer, on how to apply influence psychology in real life.

Your beliefs are not what you think. Hear me out... I sat down with a psychologist who has studied belief everywhere from Google boardrooms to North Korea. He is none other than Owen Fitzpatrick. His upcoming book, Inner Propaganda has been endorsed by every known expert on influence, from Dr. Robert Cialdini to Tony Robbins. In our conversation, Owen shared an idea I haven't stopped thinking about: "We imagine that logic creates belief. But the brain works in the opposite direction. First an idea feels right. Then it fits our identity and the people we belong with. Only after that do we

Messages like these get my heart pumping. There is no greater joy than helping experts get the opportunities they deserve. They've done the work. Have deep experience. And they truly help people. But because they haven't worked on how they are perceived. They remain invisible and don't pop up in the minds of those they can serve. That's the reason why I created an influence system. One that gets experts first in mind. Madeleine Nance attended my previous cohort and took everything she learned and put it to work. And boy did it work. Only after a few days of implementing what she lear
