Training Your Subconscious Mind for Success
The Power of Positive Thinking
In this episode of The Public Perspective, host Jim Perron steps away from the political battlefield (for most of the episode) to dig into something universal: positive thinking and the psychology behind it.
Jim breaks down the difference between negative and positive reactions using real-world examples, explains how your subconscious mind processes emotion without judging right or wrong, and shares stories about Albert Einstein's seven identical suits and a self-made multimillionaire who trained his mind to reframe even simple daily choices.
Topics covered:
- Why the object or situation is never "negative" or "positive" — your reaction is
- How friends and family unintentionally plant doubt in your subconscious
- The Einstein suit story and the power of eliminating mental clutter
- Training your subconscious mind to work for you, not against you
- Why "can't never tried" and persistence beats fear of failure
- Abraham Lincoln's repeated failures on the way to the presidency
- Fear of success and why everyone secretly cares what others think
The episode wraps with a sponsor message from Patriot Mobile and Jim's closing shout-out segment, this week aimed at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz over a controversial pardon decision.

Show notes
# EP7 — The Power of Positive Thinking
Host: Jim Perron
## Segments
- Cold Open
- Positive Thinking: Part 1 — What separates a positive reaction from a negative one; the MAGA hat example; how doubt from friends and family seeps into the subconscious mind; blocking out "chatter" and surrounding yourself with like-minded people; the difference between how bullies treat the strong vs. the vulnerable; success is self-defined, not universal.
- Sponsor Break — A word from Patriot Mobile.
- Positive Thinking: Part 2 — Deep dive into the conscious vs. subconscious mind; the Einstein seven-suits story; the "no" vs. "sure, maybe later" trick from a self-made multimillionaire; how the subconscious can't distinguish truth from belief; "can't never tried" — the untied shoelace lesson; Abraham Lincoln's repeated failures before the presidency; fear of success and fear of rejection.
- Closing & Shout-Out — Jim calls out Minnesota Governor Tim Walz over a controversial pardon of an illegal immigrant convicted of raping a minor, questioning whether Walz would make the same decision if his own daughter were the victim.
## Key Takeaways
- Situations and objects carry no inherent emotion — your response determines whether it's negative or positive.
- The subconscious mind doesn't judge right from wrong; it absorbs whatever you consistently tell it.
- Persistent effort ("can't never tried") beats natural talent or luck.
- Fear of success is as real and limiting as fear of failure.
- Believing in yourself when no one else does is the truest measure of success.
