In this conversation with Kwame Christian, Giuseppe shares the proven strategies behind his decades of experience teaching negotiation and influence at top universities and advising Fortune 500 companies.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

The critical mindset shift between influencing internally vs. negotiating externally

Why lack of preparation is the #1 mistake people make—and how to fix it

How to balance anchoring with empathy to strengthen deals and relationships

The role of AI as your “smart intern” in negotiation preparation

Why making the other party feel satisfied can be as valuable as the deal itself

Why do we keep ending up in toxic relationships — even when we know better?

In this powerful conversation, Kwame Christian sits down with psychologist and trauma therapist Dr. Ingrid Clayton to explore the hidden reason behind this pattern: the fawning trauma response.

Ingrid shares how complex trauma rewires the nervous system, why simply “setting boundaries” often doesn’t work, and how shame keeps us stuck in cycles of people-pleasing. Together, they unpack the science of safety, what it really takes to break free, and why healing is less about quick tips and more about reconnecting with yourself.

If you’ve ever wondered why saying “no” feels impossible — or why you’re drawn to the very relationships that hurt you — this episode will change how you see yourself and your story.

In this episode, Kwame Christian sits down with Colin M. Fisher, author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups, to explore the hidden psychology of group dynamics. From the dinner table to the boardroom, every group is a negotiation — balancing individual goals with collective success.

You’ll learn:

Why adding more brains to a meeting often creates more problems.

The “Goldilocks rule” for group size (and why 4–5 people may be perfect).

How psychological safety transforms conflict into collaboration.

Practical strategies to prevent disengagement and get real buy-in.

How family conflicts mirror team conflicts at work — and how to resolve both.

Whether you’re leading a team, joining a new group, or navigating tricky family dynamics, this conversation will help you see groups in a whole new way.

Energy beats strategy — and former Siemens & Alcoa CEO Klaus Kleinfeld reveals the playbook to end burnout, regain focus, and execute at the highest level.

In this conversation, Klaus Kleinfeld breaks down why energy management—not tactics—separates elite leaders from exhausted teams. You’ll hear how to turn purpose into a “laser,” control emotions under pressure, win buy‑in without formal authority, and build routines that actually stick when life is chaotic.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The Energy Stack: body, mind (emotional + mental), and spirit—and how each fuels performance.

Purpose as a Force Multiplier: why purpose focuses energy like a laser and makes hard work feel lighter.

Emotion Control Under Fire: observer mindset (“interesting…”), the Buddha “gift” story, and box breathing (4‑4‑4‑4) you can use mid‑negotiation.

Beating Burnout with Micro‑Habits: morning training, sleep + light discipline, intermittent fasting, and travel resets that keep leaders sharp.

Compartmentalization & Presence: shutting the “monkey mind” to be fully with family or fully at work—on purpose.

Buy‑In Without Authority: build a burning platform (competition + customer reality), tell human stories, and pass the “Saturday morning” test.

AI can write, edit, even cast—but it still can’t do what made TV legend Bonnie Hammer unstoppable: read the room.

In this candid conversation with Kwame Christian, Bonnie unpacks the human meta‑skill behind great leadership and negotiation—reading people and context in real time—and how it powered her “Blue Skies” era at USA & SYFY (Monk, Psych, Burn Notice). She shares why “fake it till you make it” fails (and what to do instead), how to hire for humility and team-first culture, why presence matters (“be in the room”), and how to build a spider‑web career that thrives through industry upheaval, streaming shakeups, and the rise of AI.

What you’ll learn

Reading the room: the irreplaceable skill that beats AI and drives better decisions, deals, and teams.

Face it till you make it: Bonnie’s upgrade to the old career cliché—and how to apply it immediately.

Hiring & culture: spotting humility, collaboration, and truth‑tellers (not cheerleaders).

Media shifts: streaming, bundling, budget pressure—and what creators should do now.

AI & guardrails: what to protect, what to embrace, and where human storytelling wins.

Presence & influence: first impressions, listening deeply, and speaking the language of the room.

Mentorship that works: why challenging mentors accelerate growth (Barry Diller story inside).

Women at work: the most damaging “lie” and how to replace it with actionable strategy.
