What shows up when you show up?

In today’s reflective and practical episode, Dr. Ed Tori breaks down a principle that quietly governs every great interaction, relationship, and result:

👉 It starts before it begins. 

Whether you’re leading a meeting, pitching a client, parenting your kids, or changing your life—success hinges on what happens long before the moment itself. From managing your state… to prepping your message… to building skills… to shaping your character… influence begins long before you speak a single word.

Why managing your state is not the deepest layer of preparation

The four layers that influence outcomes—before you even enter the room

How character isn’t just what you have, it’s what shows up 

A practical reframe that connects emotional regulation, preparation, skill, and identity

What makes a powerful first impression in a world full of authenticity detectors

If you’ve ever wondered why some people seem to radiate influence the moment they arrive… this episode gives you the roadmap.
