Winning the Story Wars When Your Industry Is Under Attack

Updated August 18, 2026
While you engage critics across the table, a bigger battle runs in public: the fight over who gets to tell your industry's story. These conversations map how that war actually works — why outrage campaigns are a villain's superpower that backfires, how mobs consume the innocent along with the guilty, how propaganda is engineered, and how a founder who got death threats turned attacks into the best marketing he ever ran. The side that tells the more human story wins, and it is usually not the side with the biggest budget.
