In this episode of Mind Shift Podcast, Erwin and Aaron McManus announce their upcoming two-day workshop on January 16–17 centered on the seven frequencies of communication. They share insights from the workshop’s test run with their mastermind community—highlighting its human data–driven design, practical in-room practicum, and its ability to unlock deeper questions about inner voice, self-limiting frameworks, and communication habits—while drawing on Erwin’s background in creating major assessments like Strength Finders, DISC, and more. The conversation expands into the role of inner voice in shaping identity and confidence, using examples like Lando Norris’s championship interview, before moving into a wider exploration of navigating political and cultural differences in a polarized world, including losing clients, strained relationships, and the pressure companies feel to avoid controversial topics. Erwin and Aaron dive into the historical and cultural complexities of immigration, assimilation, and national identity, emphasizing the need for nuance, empathy, and understanding rather than demonization, especially in family settings and holiday conversations where tensions often rise. They close by encouraging listeners to register for the workshop and sharing their vision for the future of the podcast—committing to deeper conversations, a more resilient community, and new events and content leading into 2026.

| 0:00.0 | Before we get into the episode, Dad, I want to talk about something we're doing January 16th and 17 |
| 0:04.3 | that's really special. And I think everyone who's listening to the Mindshift podcast would really |
| 0:08.5 | benefit from this workshop. We are diving deep into the seven frequencies of communication, |
| 0:15.6 | a book you wrote one year and two months ago, which is very, very exciting. Congrats on the launch of that. |
| 0:22.7 | And we built an entire assessment where you can discover your top frequencies. |
| 0:27.1 | You can learn more about how you relate to other people. |
| 0:29.6 | And we're digging in deeper into this by creating a special workshop just for those people fascinated by the seven frequencies of communication. |
| 0:37.5 | On January 17th, which is a Saturday, we are opening this up to anyone who wants to dive |
| 0:43.4 | deeper and grow personally within their communication skills, whether that's communicating |
| 0:48.3 | with your team, your wife, your relationships, your friendships, this will open up your mind and help you find your voice. |

| 1:33.8 | designed it this way. Because I, you know, a lot of people don't know, but you were, you were |
| 1:39.0 | essential part of the process in developing strength finders and taking strength finders to |
| 1:43.0 | 20 plus new countries |
| 1:45.0 | around the world. You've been a part of things. Mosaic created a thing called Yellow, which was |
