Winning Arguments without Losing Friends… with Jessica Tarlov
As the lone liberal voice on Fox News’ The Five, Jessica Tarlov has mastered something most communicators only talk about: how to argue without alienating, and disagree without disconnecting. In this episode of HearSay, Michael Maslansky sits down with Jessica to unpack the strategy behind her new book, I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends. They dig into why data alone rarely changes minds, why “empathy before education” beats facts-first every time, and why staying calm under fire is its own kind of communication superpower.
Insights
Our new president reflects and looks forward
Keith Yazmir, one of our founding partners, has stepped into the role of president at maslansky+partners. It’s a natural evolution for someone who has helped shape our firm’s work, culture, and industry relationships for two decades. To mark this new chapter, we sat down with Keith for a chat about what first brought him here, what keeps him energized, and why our firm’s founding principle–“It’s not what you say, it’s what they hear”–matters today more than ever.
