[Mr. Rogers $20 Million Sales Pitch] The video itself sets the stage, but in brief, in 1969, funding for public broadcasting was in question and a then relatively unknown Fred Rogers (creator and star of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood) went before a congressional committee to argue for a $20 million grant for childrens public television. With complete humility and authenticity, he makes his case, giving a short statement about why what he does is important, and even reads a little poem. He got the money. I dare you to watch and not choke up at least a little. It is a staggering moment of genuineness and plainness that is incredibly effective. This video is as applicable today as it was once back then... If you dont study Fred Rogers as a MASTER of influence and persuasion, you are missing out. youtu.be/X_JPEWhV9N8 Thanks Colin Theirot
