The Billion Dollar Banker Podcast
How to Win Friends and Influence People 2026 Edition
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People was written in 1936 — long before social media, AI, Zoom calls, DMs, and the attention economy.
So why does it still work in 2026?
Because technology changes.
Human nature doesn’t.
In this episode of The Billion Dollar Banker Podcast, we break down Carnegie’s timeless principles of influence, persuasion, leadership, and relationship-building — and apply them to today’s digital-first world.
If you're in sales, entrepreneurship, real estate, mortgage, leadership, content creation, or personal branding, this is your modern blueprint for influence.
Inside this episode:
• The only way to get someone to do what you want
• How to arouse an “eager want” in today’s distracted world
• The 6 ways to make people genuinely like you
• How to make a powerful first impression on social media
• Influence vs manipulation in the age of AI
• How to stand out in a saturated marketplace
• The psychology behind why people buy, follow, and trust
Carnegie wrote:
“The only way on earth to influence other people is to talk about what they want and show them how to get it.”
In 2026, influence is no longer about being louder.
It’s about:
Understanding desire.
Speaking to identity.
Building emotional connection.
And making people feel important — sincerely.
If you want to improve your sales skills, grow your leadership presence, increase your persuasion ability, or build stronger relationships in business and life — this episode is your modern playbook.
Master influence.
Master communication.
Master people.
And you won’t chase success.
You’ll attract it.
