July 04, 2025 Elite Negotiators Read Your Body Before You Speak — Here’s How
Think you’re in control of what you’re saying? Think again.
Before you utter a single word, elite negotiators are already reading you — through your posture, your gestures, your tone, your tension. In this episode, Kwame sits down with The Master Negotiator Greg Williams, one of the world’s top experts in body language, to reveal the invisible signals that shape the outcome of every negotiation. You’ll learn how to spot the hidden meaning behind someone’s words, how to time your own message for maximum impact, and how to protect yourself when someone tries to use your own body against you. If you’re not reading these signs, you’re negotiating blind.

July 03, 2025Why Deep Listening Is the Most Persuasive Thing You Can Do
What if the key to changing someone’s mind isn’t speaking louder—but listening deeper?

Buy the Book: ⁠Deep Listening: Transform Your Relationships with Family, Friends and Foes - by Emily Kasriel⁠

In this episode, Kwame sits down with award-winning BBC journalist and executive coach Emily Kasriel, whose revolutionary eight-step framework for deep listening has trained over 1,000 leaders in 119 countries—from IBM executives to British army officers. Together, they dive into the uncomfortable truth: most of us think we’re listening... but we’re actually just waiting to speak.
You’ll learn:
Why listening doesn’t mean agreement—and how this single idea can transform conflict

How to disarm defensiveness with one powerful question

The neuroscience behind why we shut down during disagreement

How deep listening can unlock collaboration, connection, and even persuasion
Whether you're dealing with workplace tension, a heated argument at home, or polarized conversations in your community—this episode shows you how to transform pressure into presence, and resistance into real connection.
Because the most persuasive people aren’t always the ones who speak best… they’re the ones who listen like it matters.

June 28, 2025 Being Right Isn’t Enough. Learn Why They Ignore You
You’ve been there—armed with facts, logic, and the truth. And still, they shut down. They argue. They walk away. Why?
In this episode, Kwame Christian speaks with Carlos Alvarenga, a persuasion expert who spent years decoding what Aristotle really meant when he said we’re persuaded by character, logic, and emotion. But this isn’t just theory. Carlos unveils a revolutionary way of understanding persuasion—as a kind of chemistry—with 21 elements you can actually use.
You’ll learn why most people rely too heavily on logic, why that fails, and what to do instead if you want people to actually listen, believe, and say yes.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated that no one listens—this episode will change how you communicate forever.
