Is influence different from manipulation, or just a different shade? In this episode, Ryan Michler breaks down the art of building true influence, essential for leaders in any realm—family, business, or community. Through ten practical strategies grounded in integrity, Ryan explores how influence can elevate our interactions by aligning personal goals with broader values, creating outcomes that benefit everyone involved.

Influence isn’t just for the workplace; it’s woven into daily life, from guiding your kids to closing deals. With relatable examples—from Donald Trump’s connection with blue-collar voters to Kamala Harris’s attempts at relatability—Ryan uncovers the power of genuine connection, honesty, and setting clear boundaries. By leading with care and maintaining consistency, we can build trust-filled relationships that last.
