Discover the shadowy side of leadership in this thought-provoking episode of The Fictional Shrink. "Beneath the Smile" unpacks the Dark Triad traits—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy—with a chilling dose of sadism, revealing how these personalities thrive in positions of power. From manipulative strategies to unsettling charm, we’ll explore the signs of toxic influence, the damage it leaves behind, and the subtle ways leaders wield fear and division to maintain control.

But this isn’t just about identifying harm; it’s about empowerment. Learn how to recognize these patterns, protect your emotional boundaries, and cultivate communities that reject dangerous influence. Understanding what lies beneath the surface can inspire us all to hold onto empathy, clarity, and intention.
