Why Networking Fails — and What Real Relationship Strategy Looks Like
2026/03/22 | 1h 2 mins.
What if everything you’ve been taught about networking is missing the point?

In this episode, we sit down with relationship strategy expert Andy Lopata to uncover why real professional success isn’t built in networking events — it’s built in intentional relationships. If you’ve ever felt that traditional networking advice feels transactional, awkward, or even a little manipulative, Andy offers a refreshing alternative: a strategy rooted in authentic connection, trust, and long-term value.

Drawing on decades of experience working with global organizations and leaders, Andy reveals why most professionals focus on the wrong things when building their networks — and how shifting your focus from tactics to relationship strategy can transform your career.

You’ll learn:

Why “networking” is only a tiny part of building meaningful professional relationships

The 7 stages of professional relationships — from recognition to advocacy

How the Relationship Matrix helps you move from passive connections to intentional influence

The real reasons people choose to help their colleagues — and how to ethically leverage that dynamic

Practical ways to influence without authority in siloed organizations

Along the way, Andy and Kwame unpack the psychology of influence, the blurred line between personal and professional relationships, and why authentic curiosity — not manipulation — is the real key to building a powerful network.

If you want stronger alliances, greater influence at work, and a relationship strategy that actually works, this conversation will change the way you think about connection.

Tune in and discover how to turn everyday interactions into lasting professional relationships that open doors for years to come.
Stop Waiting for a Better Job: How to Create One Where You Are
2026/03/21 | 1h 14 mins.
What if the key to loving your work again isn’t changing jobs — but changing how you show up?

In this episode, workplace strategist and bestselling author Elizabeth Lotardo reveals why fulfillment at work isn’t something your boss, company, or circumstances can give you. Instead, it’s something you create through self-leadership, mindset, and personal ownership.

We explore why so many people leave jobs searching for meaning — only to discover the problem follows them — and how reclaiming control of your work experience can transform everything from your energy to your opportunities.

You’ll learn practical strategies to:

Navigate difficult workplace dynamics without damaging your reputation

Set boundaries and advocate for yourself effectively

Turn everyday frustrations into opportunities for growth

Rediscover purpose and engagement in the role you already have

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed by workplace politics, or simply craving more meaning in your career, this conversation will challenge how you think about work — and empower you to take the driver’s seat in your professional life.
The Psychology of Money: Why “Enough” Is the Hardest Decision
2026/03/20 | 57 mins.
Money isn’t just about numbers — it’s about the stories we tell ourselves about success, freedom, and what “enough” really means.

In this thought-provoking conversation, bestselling author Morgan Housel ( The Psychology of Money ) reveals why our financial decisions are rarely logical — and why understanding our emotions around money might matter more than understanding money itself. From envy and social comparison to ambition, contentment, and the pursuit of freedom, Morgan breaks down the hidden psychology shaping how we earn, save, spend, and measure our lives.

Together, we explore why chasing more doesn’t always lead to happiness, how expectations can quietly become a form of “psychological debt,” and why the richest people aren’t always the ones with the most money — but the ones who’ve learned what enough looks like. Morgan also shares powerful insights on long-term thinking, the difference between knowledge and lived wisdom, and why some of life’s most important lessons can only be learned through experience.

If you’ve ever wondered why money can feel like both a tool and a trap — or how to use it to build a life that truly aligns with your values — this episode will challenge the way you think about wealth, ambition, and success.

By the end, you may not just see money differently — you may see your life differently too.

Why the Quietest Person Often Wins the Deal
2026/03/18 | 1h 13 mins.
Silence can win you the negotiation before you even say a word.

In this masterclass episode of Negotiate Anything, Kwame Christian speaks with mediator Amy Mariani and leadership expert Elaine Lin Herring about the hidden power of silence in negotiation and leadership. They explore how intentional pauses, body language, and thoughtful communication can reveal critical information, shift dynamics, and move conversations toward resolution.

Amy shares how silence often prompts the other side to reveal more than they planned, why people feel compelled to fill quiet moments, and how subtle cues — like facial expressions or gestures — can signal discomfort or hesitation.

Then Elaine expands the conversation to the silence we learn in our workplaces and relationships, and how reclaiming our voice can reshape leadership, collaboration, and negotiation.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why silence is one of the most powerful negotiation tools

How to read body language—even over Zoom

A practical way to break complex conversations into manageable parts

How leaders can create cultures where people feel safe to speak up

Sometimes the most powerful move in a conversation isn’t what you say—it’s when you choose not to speak.
