ANECDOTE

From Train Wreck To Record Deal

  • Darren Hardy watched an MIT-educated CEO lose $12 million and 17 jobs in one failed presentation.
  • Sixty days later the same CEO closed the company's biggest deal using a Riveting AI-generated script.
INSIGHT

Three Brains Decide Before Logic Arrives

  • Audiences consist of three neural systems: lizard, monkey, and sage, not a single logical brain.
  • Most presenters target the sage while the lizard already labeled them irrelevant and the monkey lost interest.
ADVICE

Use AI To Trigger The Decision Sequence

  • Use the Riveting AI to craft presentations that first shock the lizard brain, then move the monkey brain emotionally, and finally arm the sage with logic.
  • Feed the AI your message and audience to generate neuroscience-backed scripts within minutes.
