The Influence Every Day Show with Dr. Ed Tori

“When we change the way we see things, the things we see change.” — Max Planck

Sometimes, the key to seeing more clearly… is to stop looking so hard.

In this episode, Dr. Ed Tori explores a surprising truth: there are moments when we actually see better without directly focusing on what’s in front of us. From stargazing and puzzle-solving to elite-level sports and high-stakes conversations, the way we use our eyes says a lot about how we move through the world—and how we influence others in it.

You’ll learn:

  • 🌓 Why looking slightly off to the side can help you see in the dark.
  • 👀 How squinting can sharpen your perception by blurring the details.
  • 🌐 What “soft eyes” are—and why they’re a secret weapon for leaders, athletes, artists, and everyday communicators.
  • 🔄 How shifting your perception (literally and metaphorically) can transform your relationships and your influence.

    • This isn’t just about vision—it’s about vision. Seeing others differently. Seeing challenges differently. Seeing yourself differently.

    💡 Key Takeaway: 
    The greatest shifts in influence often begin by shifting your perspective.
