3 big ideas discussed in this episode: Accessibility or "Find Your Celine"- Most of the time as experts we want to introduce people to our innovation first, but when something feels too new people back away. So it's better to start with an anchor concept then introduce our innovation. What most of us get wrong about influence- We often believe that influence is about persuading people to do things, but true influence is when people do things without us asking them to. We create this influence when we give people something that makes them look good when they share our idea. If you want people to remember more, focus on L.E.S.S.- We can carve out space in people's memory by focusing on creating our own language, tapping into emotion, providing simplicity in the message, and most importantly packaging it all in a structure that is easy to follow.

In this episode, I am joined by my guest Michael Roderick. Michael went from a high school teacher to a Broadway producer in less than two years and created an amazing network and community of people in New York City through his compassion, truth, empathy, and leadership. He decided to build working our networking and workshops for people in a way that would help make their lives better. Michael and I connected in this conversation, and I was excited to share it with you guys because, you know, I think about all the time, like every single day, I think about like, what does leadership mean? What does it mean to be the person who is willing to put it on the line and create the change in your world and in the life that you want to have? In this conversation, Michael's going to not only dive into a lot of the tools that he's used to be an effective leader but also many of the tools that he's used to get over his own fears about stepping into success and building out a network of people that he now calls community, not to mention that he writes a public blog post every day. I'm very excited to have this conversation with Michael. I know you're going to get a ton of value from it.
