brings around
Changes their mind
Brings around means to cause someone to regain consciousness or recover: The smelling salts brought her around.
It also means to persuade someone to change their opinion: He was skeptical at first, but we eventually brought him around.
A third sense involves bringing someone or something to a location: I'll bring the car around to the front.
