If you are an introvert who has thought thought “public speaking just isn't for me” this is your permission slip to think again.

In this episode, we’re sitting down with Salvatore Manzi—transformational speaker, communication coach, and the low-key legend who’s helped hundreds of leaders own the spotlight (without losing their voice or their mind).

We’re talking: The hidden superpowers introverts bring to the stage, how to reframe anxiety as excitement, and why pausing is your most powerful tool to becoming a better speaker and communicator.

Salvatore breaks down his frameworks, body language tricks, and mindset rituals that introverts can use to become magnetic, confident, and clear communicators—whether they’re leading a workshop, pitching an idea, or hitting the stage for the first time.

If you’ve ever been told to “just be yourself” online and thought, cool but... who even is that?—you are going to love this episode.

This week, we’re joined by the wildly magnetic Justin Schuman—Broadway star turned brand coach and authenticity whisperer who’s on a mission to humanize your personal brand and help you show up as you, not just a curated version of you. Did we mention human is in his last name?

In this conversation, we go beyond the buzzwords and break down what authenticity actually looks like in real life and online. Justin shares how uncovering who you are (and how you want to show up) is the real work behind building a brand that connects—and why your “unpolished,” in-progress self is often the most powerful thing you can share.

So if you've been overthinking your content, or why you even need a personal brand, you will not want to miss this conversation!

🎉Our guest for our 250th episode is so incredible— it brought Candice out of maternity leave. No, really. 

If you’ve ever wondered whether hiring a coach is “worth it,” this episode will show you the ROI in real time.

From building a $3Billion+ real estate company to coaching top-tier entrepreneurs across the globe, Sharran Srivatsaa has a gift for simplifying what most people overcomplicate—especially when it comes to growing a business. In this episode, he breaks down the difference between marketing and sales (they are not the same thing, and most people are doing both wrong), what it really means to be coachable and what Sharran’s first coaches taught him.

Whether you’re trying to grow your business, build your brand, or just get out of your own way, this conversation is going to challenge how you think about success—and give you the tools to actually reach it.

Think building authority online means talking about your success? Think again.

In this episode of Not Nice, Clever, we’re sitting down with San Diego real estate powerhouse and edutainment video expert, Jason Cassity, to unpack the power of story-telling and why the best marketers don’t make it about themselves.

Jason shares the biggest mistakes real estate agents (and entrepreneurs in general) make when trying to build credibility, the tiny tweak that transforms your marketing from “just another sales pitch” to a compelling story, and why showing your value is always more powerful than telling.

We also dive into:

• The simplest way to generate referrals without feeling salesy
• Why social media works best when it feels human
•  The easiest 90-day strategy to become a market expert (and build confidence FAST)

Make sure to tune in til the end when Jason gives a masterclass in how to make the ask—without making it awkward when answering a Not Nice. Advice submission from a self-proclaimed "networking wallflower"

🎧 Tune in now and get ready to flip your content strategy upside down—in the best way possible.
