How Words Work with Jack Fox

Jack Fox

How Words Work with Jack Fox is about the language you choose and the authority it creates or destroys. In this podcast, you will learn how words and phrases commonly used in lying, manipulation, and avoidance also show up in everyday communication, and why using that language causes people to doubt you, question you, or stop listening. Each episode breaks down a specific language pattern, explains how it functions in deception, and shows how people accidentally use the same patterns when they are trying to explain themselves, defend themselves, or sound reasonable. When you remove the language of deception from your speech, you speak with more clarity, authority, and credibility. People listen to you differently. They trust you more. They take you more seriously. This podcast teaches you how to recognise the signals your words are sending and how to change them, so you sound clear, grounded, and worth listening to.

    How Words Work

    Deception isn’t about lying. It’s about language. How Words Work examines how the same language patterns used by liars and manipulators appear when people are anxious, defensive, or trying to be believed and why that damages credibility. Using the CAPS framework, Jack Fox shows how to hear deception and manipulation in others and how to stop using the same language yourself. This podcast is for anyone whose words matter and who wants them to carry authority instead of suspicion. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
