In this deeply authentic episode of Million Dollar Flip Flops, Rodric sits down with Joanna Horton McPherson—executive coach, former actor, and founder of the True Influence Method™—for a soul-level conversation about voice, visibility, and the responsibility we each carry to design a life that aligns with who we really are.

They cover everything from emotional honesty in leadership, to why acting isn’t pretending, to how vibrational alignment shapes our results in business and life. What starts as a conversation about public speaking quickly unfolds into a masterclass on courage, responsibility, and conscious creation.

You’ll hear about:

• Why most “authenticity” is just polished presentation—and how to go deeper
• What acting teaches us about business, presence, and inner alignment
• The spiritual edge of public speaking (and why real leaders are mirrors, not performers)
• How to stop projecting and start owning your power
• A raw discussion about Esther Hicks, law of attraction, and loving what is

“You can't go out and mentor people if you're a bullshitter. Your life has to be right at home first.” — Joanna Horton McPherson

This is an episode for leaders, visionaries, and anyone who knows they were meant to do more than just play nice.
