    Speak So People Remember You: 7 Secrets That Win Deals & Influence Decisions

    2026/05/07 | 48 mins.
    You’re not being ignored because your ideas are bad — you’re being ignored because your delivery is forgettable.

    ⁠Buy the book: Speak, Memorably: The Art of Captivating an Audience by Bill McGowan⁠

    In this episode, Emmy-winning journalist and communication coach Bill McGowan joins Kwame Christian to expose the hidden mistakes even smart professionals make when they speak.

    Why “winging it” is sabotaging your credibility


    The 3 parts of a message your audience always remembers


    How to craft punchy openings, unforgettable closings, and sticky metaphors


    What “theftosterone” is — and how to protect your ideas from being stolen


    The truth about authenticity (and why faking it isn’t always bad)

    Dealing With Difficult Bosses? Here’s How to Flip the Power Dynamic

    2026/05/06 | 1h 4 mins.
    If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or frustrated at work — this is the episode that changes how you play the game.

    In this masterclass episode, we dive deep into the uncomfortable, often unspoken art of managing up — and why most people get it wrong. From reframing your boss as your “most important customer” to navigating toxic leadership and workplace conflict, this episode delivers practical, real-world strategies you can actually use.

    You’ll hear powerful insights on how to:

    Influence your boss without triggering defensiveness

    Turn frustration into productive, business-focused conversations

    Address toxic behavior—whether it’s your manager or a difficult colleague

    Speak up early (before problems spiral) and reclaim your power at work

    Navigate high-stakes conversations—even in remote environments

    This episode goes beyond theory. It’s about mindset shifts, courageous conversations, and the reality that sometimes, the most powerful move isn’t changing your boss — it’s changing how you show up.

    Because at the end of the day, managing up isn’t about control. It’s about clarity, strategy, and knowing when to stand your ground.

    Jess Ekstrom: The Arrival Fallacy Will Break You

    2026/05/05 | 1h 12 mins.
    We don't get dopamine at the finish line — we get it in the chase. Which means every goal you're killing yourself to reach is quietly wired to disappoint you the moment you arrive.

    Jess Ekstrom found this out the hard way. She scaled Headbands of Hope to millions in revenue, got acquired, hit the Inc. 500 — and felt nothing within minutes. Her new book, Making It Without Losing It, is the framework she built from the wreckage of that realization.

    2026/05/04 | 1h 19 mins.
    This episode is a special reverse interview. Kwame was invited onto Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby's Love, Happiness and Success podcast, where she turned the tables and dug into the psychology, personal history, and hard-won inner work that built the negotiation expert you know from this feed. If you've ever wondered who taught the teacher — this is that conversation.

    Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby, LP, LMFT is a licensed psychologist, therapist, and relationship coach whose work lives at the intersection of emotional intelligence and real, lasting change.
