Raj Sisodia explores his journey to Awaken, finding purpose and making a global impact
December 05, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBWhat makes you who you are? I know that’s a huge, complex question. However, if you think about it – there would have been a few pivotal moments, relationships and possibly conversations that set you on the path you’re on today. Beyond the path, those moments would have also laid the wiring for how you now react, decide and decode the world around you. Laying the foundations for how you show up in every situation, relationship, and moment of your life. Today’s conversation is a little di...
Kemi Nekvapil on the true meaning of power and how to live and lead without apology
November 23, 2023 00:35 - 1 hour - 55.8 MBWhen you hear the word ‘power’, what first springs to mind? Do you immediately think of its absence, the moments you felt ‘power-less’ – or the moments you showed up as the fullest version of yourself? Is ‘power’ a word or sensation that feels like it belongs to you? Or is it a word that usually belongs to someone else? My guest today wants to redefine how we think, approach and own the word ‘power’ in our lives. Today’s Guest Kemi Nekvapil is one of Australia’s leading coaches for f...
Phill Nosworthy on clarity, redefining imposter syndrome and moving at the speed of wisdom
November 08, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 78.3 MBHands up who’s busy? Busy with work, life, kids, family, businesses, side hustles, resting (now when did that become a task) and everything in between. The reason many of us are so busy, constantly moving and thinking at 100mph is I believe, in its most positive sense, because we want to get it right. We want to be the best we can be in every aspect of our life. Maybe that’s achieving mastery in our field. Maybe it’s being the best leader or parent we can be - or maybe it’s just not waki...
Paul Zak returns to unpack the science of Immersion and how to cultivate happiness
October 26, 2023 01:42 - 1 hour - 76.2 MBDo you struggle to immerse yourself in something (anything) without a buzz, ding or vibration pulling you out of your train of thought? If we struggle to pay attention to even the things we care about - how as influencers, leaders and communicators - can we cut through long enough to create real and lasting impact. Today’s Guest Paul Zak is a neuroscientist, public speaker and author who has spent the last two decades looking into what our brains crave - and how we can use those craving...
Michael McQueen on why we are MindStuck and mastering the art of changing minds
October 10, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 73.2 MBWould you consider yourself to be stubborn? Do you bristle at the thought of change and dig your heels in even when presented with undeniable logic? For most of us our instinct is to probably answer ‘no’ to that question. It’s everyone else that’s stubborn right? It’s the people on the internet who are blatantly wrong in their points of view. The family member who won’t shift position, regardless of how much evidence you present them with. The colleague that just can’t let go of how it ...
Lisa Bragg on purposeful self promotion, loosing the fear and the power of picking yourself
September 27, 2023 22:29 - 1 hour - 64.7 MBHow do you feel about the word ‘bragging’? Does it make you squirm and immediately want to bolt away from the spotlight – or excited about an opportunity to share your success? When a colleague, friend or co-worker starts to say things that sound like bragging - does it rub you up the wrong way? Or do you start feeling inspired and curious about how you could get similar results? My guest today thinks we all need to become better braggers. Which as someone who started life as a good B...
Todd Herman on the Alter Ego Effect, defeating the enemy and unlocking your heroic self
September 12, 2023 20:00 - 1 hour - 80 MBDo you have an Alter Ego? A side of yourself, with a whole different set of traits and strengths, that you can quickly access to give yourself the edge? Usually when we hear the term ‘Alter Ego’ we think of Peter Parker and Spider Man, Diana Prince and Wonder Woman, Clarke Kent and Superman. The list goes on. However, what if I told you that some of the greatest performers and influential figures on the planet also had one. A side of themselves that they deliberately built and cultivate...

Donna Griffit on becoming pitch perfect, owning your origin story and nailing the 'quick pitch'
July 26, 2023 03:54 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBAre you pitch perfect? We all understand the power of the ‘pitch’ – whether it’s for investment, a new career defining opportunity or that game changing client. These are the 7 to 14 minute long ‘sliding door’ moments that define whether we take our influence to the next level. However, once you’ve done the hard work of getting the right people in the room, how do you make every second count? Today’s Guest My guest today is corporate storyteller and ‘pitch alchemist’ Donna Griffit. Do...
Jeremy Connell-Waite decodes how to change the world through purpose driven storytelling
July 11, 2023 19:30 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBToday’s question is the holy grail of influence. It’s the question that any influencer that wants to make an impact with their words, ideas or mission strives to answer: How do you tell stories that change the way the world works? My guest today has built his career around answering this question - and still sits at the coal face, mining away at the ever-evolving answer. Today’s Guest Jeremy Connell Waite is a man of many hats. He’s Communications Designer at IBM where he coaches pa...
Allan Parker on staying calm, communicating with presence and mastering your state
June 28, 2023 20:00 - 1 hour - 67 MBHow do you communicate from a place of stillness and calm regardless of what’s happening around you? We all know the situations that tend to set off our body’s alarm system. It could be a fight with our partner, the same old conversation with a member of our team - or getting up in front of a room full of people to speak or make our ideas heard. Regardless of the situation – the warning signals tend to be the same. Our heartbeat increases, our breath shortens, our thinking becomes reactive...
Gretchen Carlson on speaking out, fighting for change and the ripple effect of courage
June 13, 2023 23:43 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MBWhat does it take to own your voice when everything is on the line - and the entire world is watching? Today’s Guest On the podcast today I speak with Gretchen Carlson, New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and internationally recognized trailblazer for women’s rights in the workplace. In June of 2016, two years before the beginning of the #metoo movement - Gretchen boldly went public with sexual harassment claims against then Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, considered to b...
Chris Barton on the story of Shazam, doing the impossible and a 'start from zero' mindset
May 30, 2023 20:00 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBHave you ever heard a song while you’re in a bar, at a restaurant, out shopping, or watching TV and wondered: “What is the name of that song?” Although you may not have heard of my guest today, I can almost guarantee you’ve heard of his product. Over 2 billion people have downloaded it, 8 million new users every month use it (without a dollar of marketing) and in 2017 Apple bought it for $400 million dollars. That company is of course – Shazam Today’s Guest My guest on today’s episode...
Dr Kristy Goodwin on taming the tech, setting boundaries and thriving in a digital world
May 16, 2023 21:53 - 1 hour - 67.7 MBWhich of these has more influence over your day. Your priorities, focus and close relationships – or the demands and temptations of your digital device? Maybe it’s a hard question to answer, maybe it’s easy. Maybe you like the answer, maybe you don’t. Either way, if influence requires focus, then how we handle the ongoing ‘creep’ of the digital world into our lives becomes one of the most important decisions we can make. My guest today on Inside influence is on a mission to help profess...
George Dawes Green on The Moth and the art and power of sharing our stories
May 03, 2023 00:12 - 1 hour - 59.3 MBWhat makes a powerful storyteller? Those able to tell a story that - whether it’s from a porch, a stage, a bar or an auditorium - can literally change the fabric of the air around you. Those able to, from their first breath, plunge us into a world completely different from our own. Yet still offer a roadmap we can use to solve our own challenges. Those able to literally change the way we view the world. My guest today is not only one such globally regarded storyteller. His vision and co...
AJ Jacobs on facing life's challenges with curiosity, grit and a Puzzler mindset
April 18, 2023 19:30 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBWhy is developing a ‘puzzle mindset’ the key to influence? A few years ago, I developed a bit of an obsession. It started out as innocent and then became an addiction that, like all addictions, began to expand into more and more corners of my life. That obsession was with the world of puzzling. Sudoku, crosswords, train tracks, word finders. You name it I had to solve it. Perhaps it was a reaction to the pandemic, to all the countless facets of life and the world I couldn’t begin to sol...
Jane Adshead-Grant - The profound impact of becoming a better listener
April 04, 2023 20:00 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBHow do we become powerful listeners? Listening is probably one of the most underestimated tools of influence. Think for a moment about the leaders that have had the most impact on you. The people who have changed your mind or perspective. Those who made you feel heard and therefore valued in every single interaction. I guarantee you they would have mastered the art of profound listening. Today’s Guest My guest on Inside Influence today believes that listening holds the key to impact. ...
Ben Jones is back to talk AI, the 4 hour advert and The Third Era of Marketing
March 21, 2023 22:23 - 1 hour - 62.7 MBWhat’s the future of storytelling? Before you try to answer this question, consider these facts. Al software can now generate video content on demand – in one year's time you will be able to generate an entire movie based on a few simple lines of text. Short story platforms (Tik Tok, Snapchat, Instagram) have now hit staggering views of 30 billion views a day. At the same time in 2021 the streamers (Netflix, Amazon, Disney) released more than 1800 original series – that’s a staggering 90%...
Zoe Chance on why influence is your superpower and what's holding you back
March 07, 2023 18:30 - 1 hour - 76.8 MBWhat holds you back from having the influence you want? Quickly listen to the first thing that comes into your mind. It might have been a sense that somehow you’re not charismatic enough, or not aggressive enough – or maybe the opposite. You talk too much and forget to listen or emotionally engage. So if we have a clear idea on the blocks that are holding back from the influence we know we’re capable of having. What stops us? According to my guest today, tapping into your true influence...
Erik Qualman on standing out, The Focus Project and the (not so) simple art of doing less
February 21, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 70 MBWhat’s holding you back from focus right now? Most of us started this year with (hopefully) some clarity on what we want to set in motion. Goals we want to kick, freedom we want to create, impact and influence we want to build. Yet what if I told you that the key to achieving any of those intentions was a commitment to doing less rather than more? My guest today is the King of getting maximum impact, with minimum distraction. Today’s Guest Erik Qualman is a 5 time #1 Bestselling Author...
Christine McKay - Why not ask? How to negotiate and get more without the battle
February 15, 2023 02:21 - 1 hour - 73.8 MBHow do you feel about the word negotiation? When most people hear the term negotiation, they usually think of tense conversations, fighting for what you deserve and a battlefield mindset. Yet what if that whole concept – that of thinking about negotiation as a form of combat – meant you never actually get what you want? What if treating it as a zero sum game, with one winner and one loser, prevented the most valuable outcomes from ever even being discussed? My guest today believes nego...
Cody Keenan - Obama's speech writer and ten days in the battle for America
February 01, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 66.8 MBNow, here's today's question. If you had to pick the most pivotal 10 days of your career, what would they be? Ten days that, either looking back or in the moment, felt like everything had been leading you to this point. Perhaps it was the lead-up to a landmark decision, a moment in the spotlight to either make an impact or publicly fall short, or a crisis you could have never foreseen. These are the moments that usually decide who we become as leaders, communicators, and influencers. A f...
POWERCUT: Julia Dhar - the lost art of constructive conversations
January 24, 2023 19:00 - 22 minutes - 20.3 MBWe are coming to the end of another eventful year, another 12 month bundle of opportunities, challenges, plenty of highlights and some definite unforeseen low lights.

The Great Reset - Julie reflects on 2022, her sabbatical and what makes a great interview
December 13, 2022 18:30 - 1 hour - 59.6 MBToday's episode is a little bit different to normal programming. Today's episode is just me. When we were thinking about how we wanted to finish this year, the Inside Influence Team and I were trying to figure out what's the best way to wrap up 2022. We came to the conclusion that just putting all the lessons into one bowl and offering them up is probably the best and the most generous and honest thing that we can do. What a year it has been. We hit 150 episodes this year! How is that even...
Bobette Buster - How to tell your story so the world listens
November 29, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 75 MBWhy are stories so important? I talk a lot about storytelling on this podcast, but let’s for a second explore the word itself. I like to think about stories as gifts. In telling our stories we take a moment from our own experience, we wrap it up the best way we know how, and then we hand it to someone else with a handwritten card that says: “Let’s unwrap this slowly together. I want you to feel my intention, I want you to understand why I’m giving this to you, I want you to experience so...
Gay Hendricks - The Big Leap - Finding Your Zone of Genius
November 15, 2022 18:30 - 1 hour - 61 MBEvery so often I speak to someone that has changed things so fundamentally for me, that I can literally mark it as a day in the calendar. Today is one of those conversations. It all started a few years ago when a book arrived through the post from two people I respect very deeply. So I did what you would expect. I put it on my bookshelf and ignored it for six months. When I did finally pull it down to read, true to prediction, it was as if that book had been written for me. That book wa...
Devin Marks - Decoding the breakaway TED Talk: How to create an idea worth sharing
November 01, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 67.5 MBWhat makes a breakaway TED Talk? If there’s one phenomenon in the world of storytelling that’s been impossible to ignore over the last decade. It’s this one. The TED Talk. Sometimes inspiring, often igniting, potentially career defining - think Simon Sinek, Brene Brown and Amy Cuddy. The TED Talk has become a launching ground for more thought leaders and breakaway ideas than any other platform. It also completely rewrote the rules around storytelling. Think you need one hour to make your...
Emily McDowell - Standing in the unknown and showing up when it's hard
October 18, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 70.3 MBWhat do you say when you don’t know what to say? So much of influence is sold as having the right words, at the right time. Words that get the outcome you want. Words that match your intention – words that result in exactly how you want the other party to feel. Words that, hopefully, support everyone in reaching a better outcome. And that’s definitely a big part of it. However, where that doesn’t help, is in those situations where there are no words. Or at least not good ones. Whe...
Jon Levy - You're invited: The art of influence, connection and belonging
October 04, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 64 MBHow influential is your personal network? You know I love a multi-layered question and this one comes in two parts. Firstly, how well does your current network, the current galaxy of people you orbit around (and who orbit around you) reflect the habits, influence, achievements you want to create? Secondly – and here’s where it gets interesting – how much of an impact does your current network have on you and those around you. Including people who will never meet? If there’s one thing tha...
Holly Ransom - Living at the leading edge: How to lead when it counts and start before you're ready
September 20, 2022 23:02 - 1 hour - 64.9 MBToday's question is a big one for many of us this year, as we emerge from let's call it an ‘intense’ period of time – and into a new work and life landscape that’s being written as we live it. So here’s today’s question – how do you lead from the edge? I love this question because it has so many layers to it. How do you lead from the edge of new terrain, where the opportunities are huge but the ‘how’ just feels messier than ever? How do you lead in a new world of work, where the rules ar...
Jeff Immelt - The Hotseat: Leading GE through controversy and crisis
September 06, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 68.4 MBWhat does it take to face your critics? I mean squarely, unflinchingly – with full self-responsibility. However, and this part is all important, still willing to defend yourself when it counts? Responsibility is an interesting word. I always understood it to mean ‘the ability to respond’. Taking full ownership of the fact that, while you may not always be able to control WHAT happens – you are always able to control what you do next. As a place to begin, I think it’s a good one. However,...
Vanessa Bohns - You have more influence than you think: How to get to yes and learn to say no
August 23, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 75.2 MBHave you ever felt invisible or inarticulate - especially when it comes to asking for what you want? Given the sheer volume of books in bookstores right now on the subject of influence - how to get more, how to get people to do what you want, how to speak up. You could be forgiven for thinking that we are hopelessly lacking in power. Yet, what if instead of a lack of knowledge, we actually have a lack of awareness about the real power of our words, actions and presence when it comes to i...
Nathan Chan - The Foundr journey: Passion, momentum and creating your own MBA
August 10, 2022 00:30 - 1 hour - 59.4 MBIf I asked you to create your own MBA – specifically tailored to you and your life, goals, challenges and questions – what would be in it? What would the modules be? Next question, who would teach it? If you could choose any name on the planet, who would you want to learn from and what questions would you ask? Then the final question – once you have those answers - what would you do next? For my guest today – his journey into these questions began one morning alone on a train in Melbourne...
Nancy Duarte - Resonate: The secret structure of great presentations
July 26, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 82.9 MBHey everyone - the Inside Influence team and I are taking an eight week sabbatical this winter (or summer if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere) to generally reset, recalibrate and refill our creative tanks. For many of us, myself included, that means traveling across the world to see family members where it’s been far too long between hugs. To keep you fueled while we’re gone, we’ve traveled back through the archives and pulled out four of our favorite Inside Influence episodes of all time...

Julia Dhar - How to disagree productively: The lost art of constructive conversations
May 31, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 73.6 MBHow good are you at changing your mind? It’s not a question we tend to ask ourselves often. I once interviewed a political strategist from Washington, who mentioned that practically no resources are spent trying to ‘convert’ voters from one political party to the next. That there was simply no point. In fact, according to research, when our viewpoints are challenged we usually dig deeper into our position than before. So that raises the next question - If most of us are terrible...
Raj Sisodia - The Era of Conscious Capitalism: The power of business to heal the planet
May 17, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 70.6 MBHave you ever felt alone in seeing a problem? That feeling, a little bit like the story of the Emperor's new clothes, where everyone else is applauding – but there’s an important truth that no one seems willing to speak. That’s how my guest today felt, from a very young age, about one of the most influential ideas on the planet. That one idea is capitalism. According to the dictionary… Capitalism is defined as “an economic and political system in which a country's trade and ...
Elizabeth Lesser - The Power of the Phoenix Process: How to turn to face what needs to change
May 03, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 64.9 MBWhat in your life is trying to break open right now? One of the most sacred parts of my work as a consultant and coach is that I get to see ‘behind the scenes’ in what it actually takes to build influence. The success, the moments of inspiration - when nothing can hold you back - to the painful moments of failure, exhaustion and reinvention. Those moments where the life you wanted, what you thought you had built, the identity you had worked hard to create, suddenly begins to burn - and yo...
Colin Boyd - Decoding your signature story: How to convert attention into action every time
April 19, 2022 19:30 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBHere is today's question - what’s your signature story? The story that you know works every time. That when you tell it in a pitch you can feel the room you’re speaking to start to SHIFT. A shift from logically thinking about the transformation or change or you’re trying to describe to actually feeling them. When the whole room starts to embody the exact moment in time and space that you’re describing. The smells, the sounds, the situation or struggle, and the possibility of what might h...
Ben Jones - The UnSkippable Future of Storytelling: How to cut through when the rules have changed
April 05, 2022 19:30 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBHere is today’s question - what is pink noise? We’ve all heard about white noise. That being the words, phrases, stories and marketing messages in your space that sound EXACTLY the same as everyone else. The tidal wave of noise that’s easy to get lost within. Let’s call it the elevator music of influence. So what is pink noise? Well, it’s kinda the opposite. Think of the last Netflix series you dedicated 24 hours of your life to bingeing, or the influencer you faithfully follow, comb...
