In this episode:

Influence is often misunderstood as persuasion, confidence, or the ability to make a strong case. Many believe that to influence others, you must convince them, impress them, or push past resistance. But what actually changes people happens much more quietly, and it begins with empathy. This piece explores why the hardest attempts to persuade often fall flat, even when the reasoning is sound. When conversations turn into effort rather than connection, something important is missing.
