20:50This episode dives into the significant political question posed by Ronald Reagan during the closing moments of his 1980 presidential debate with Jimmy Carter: 'Are you better off than you were four years ago?' Ken Woodward explores the context of the 1980 political climate, marked by economic difficulties, high inflation, unemployment, and international issues such as the Iran hostage crisis and concerns about U.S. global standing and nuclear threats. Reagan's question, which became iconic in U.S. political discourse, was noted for its simplicity, personal relevance, emotional resonance, and strategic timing. The question invited voters to reflect on their circumstances rather than abstract policies, ultimately contributing to Reagan's landslide victory. The episode details six crucial lessons for crafting influential questions, emphasizing audience perspective, engagement, simplicity, timing, self-reflection, and a call to action. Listeners are encouraged to consider how such questions have shaped their decisions and to apply these insights in personal and professional contexts. This Curated Questions episode can be found on all major platforms and at CuratedQuestions.com . Keep questioning!

8:01Today is Friday which means it’s time for your 5-minute A-List Charisma Booster. Last week covered the introduction to a speech by John Cleese and today we’re taking notes from JK Rowling, the beloved author of the Harry Potter series. I love how she offers us a compelling example of how introverts can wield charisma in the public eye. Despite her deeply introverted nature, Rowling has captivated millions of us with her storytelling superpower, advocacy for social issues, and being sincere about herself. Rowling's life and career exemplify how authenticity, vulnerability, and conviction can elevate introverts to positions of influence and inspire others to action. By following her example and staying true to themselves, introverts can harness their innate strengths to make a positive impact on the world around us. Let’s look at 3 A-List Charisma takeaways and calls to action from JK Rowling: 1. **know your true self**: Take a moment to reflect on your own values, passions, and unique perspective. Stay true to yourself in all aspects of your life, whether it's in your personal relationships, professional endeavors, or creative pursuits. 2. **Practice vulnerability**: Challenge yourself to step outside your comfort zone and embrace vulnerability in your interactions with others. Share your experiences, struggles, and aspirations openly and authentically. 3. **Stand up for what you believe in**: Identify causes or issues that are important to you and take action to support them, whether it's through advocacy, volunteering, or simply raising awareness. Stay committed to your convictions, even in the face of adversity or criticism. Remember, each small step you take toward embracing your authenticity, practicing vulnerability, and standing up for your beliefs has the potential to create ripple effects of positive change in your own life and beyond.

For this episode I’m drawing from not only my own hard-earned knowledge base but also two recent guest episodes that go deeper into these topics: episode 222 with José Ucar, called Build Your Global Influence is fabulous and make sure you listen to last week’s episode 228 with songwriter Drew Lawrence called You Can Create Charisma. To max out this charisma lesson here are 3 practices for you: 1. Focus on warmth and personal connection. Remember that the next time you want to show others charisma. For now, don’t worry about presence or credibility, that’s what most of us tend to over index on. Focus on showing warmth. 2. Share your bloopers. In your stories and even work presentation, share specific aspects of yourself and your experiences, NOT trying to be perfect. Of course at work your experience needs to relate to your topic. But say you’re talking about trustworthy AI, share a funny story where you got a crazy response from some generative AI platform. 3. Charisma can be rehearsed a la Robin Williams.

32:55Drastically improve your process for hiring people AND applying for a job. Starting today. Post-COVID the science of interviewing has advanced radically. Today’s guest, Anna Papalia, is a career influencer and TikTok Interview Expert that lays so many game-changing truths on us. Because 90% of hiring managers aren't trained on how to interview, they fall prey to their implicit bias when judging candidates and making hiring decisions. Job seekers, equally as mystified by the process, follow stale advice, memorizing rote answers that aren't true to who they are. Interviewing needs to innovate to meet current expectations and the shortage of top talent. Anna shares so many actional nuggets from her INTERVIEWOLOGY book and training program that help you see your personal interview archetype, and then that of others. Our biases are born from our preferences. She calls “charmers” those who see an interview as a performance—it’s a stage and they enjoy being the star of the show. Another type, Challengers, see an interview as a cross-examination, and want their questions answered. Examiners are those who see an interview as a pass/fail test and Harmonizers see an interview as a tryout for a team that they want to join. You’re going to want to take notes to capture these high ROI interviewing insights like: 🧦The interview type that is overused (like worn-out socks you need to toss!) 🧩The #1 mistake hiring managers make 🗑What hiring systems need to ditch asap to improve candidate experience 🎤The top 3 persuasive myths about interview style 🧠How your “weakness” is really a strength that’s overused ABOUT THIS WEEK’S GUEST: Anna Papalia is known as TikTok’s “Interview Expert”' (1.5M social media followers) and author of INTERVIEWOLOGY on the new science of interviewing. She has consulted with Fortune 100 companies, taught at Temple University’s Fox School of Business and coached over 10,000 clients to interview better. Her groundbreaking discovery of Interview Styles revolutionized the way we teach and understand interviewing.

18:46In this mini podcast episode of Speak Up with Laura Camacho, the host, Laura, focuses on the executive theme of being articulate. The episode is concise, lasting less than 20 minutes, and is part of a series where Laura delves into specific topics without conducting interviews. 80% of what we do, probably it's more like 99%, is communication and it needs to be effective. Even with intimidating audiences. You must be able to get your point across and persuade other people and be likable. ( I know that's controversial for some of you but it's true.) And people have to know you, trust you, and like you, and this mini-episode lays it all out for you. She defines what it means to be articulate, and goes on to share her five steps to becoming more articulate. The five steps, all starting with the letter 'S,' are as follows: 🎤Speak up: Laura encourages listeners to practice articulation by speaking up more often in various settings, focusing on clarity. 🔥Sell it before you tell it: Highlighting the importance of providing reasons for others to listen, she suggests emphasizing the benefits of your message before delivering it. 🔑Structure: Laura stresses the need for a clear structure in communication, emphasizing a beginning, middle, and end. She mentions the "goal problem solution" structure as effective. 🏆Sizzle: The host introduces the concept of a "sizzle file" containing interesting words and expressions that can be incorporated into communication to add flair. 🎶Slow down: Laura recommends slowing down speech to sound more intelligent, allowing better comprehension and understanding by the audience. Throughout the episode, she provides examples of articulate communication, referencing her favorite, brilliant author, Nassim Nicholas Taleb's work. Learn how to work on these steps to improve their executive communication in everyday conversations and emails. FOR YOU: This episode is brought to you by the Swiss Army knife of compelling communication, aka The Practical Guide to Effective Communication by Laura Camacho. Makes a helpful gift for anyone who wants to experience success in life as communication is about 90% of the value we bring to the table.

39:14Laura chats with a totally different kind of guest this week - entrepreneur, investor, and luxury Modern Victorian home builder, John Gioffre. Not an introvert, Gioffre became an industry thought leader while acting as an industry outsider, meaning he doesn’t always follow the rules of how you’re supposed to work in the real estate development and luxury home construction business. You may have seen John’s work online as he was the first to build a home in the Modern Victorian style, which set off a big trend in luxury home building. Let that be a cue to you - have the courage to deviate from the ways “things have always been done” – when it makes good sense to do so. That’s precisely how thought leadership is formed. John shares all the many ways he deviated from the norms and in the process built a stellar reputation and a successful business. Not only will you learn real-estate investing ideas from our guest, but also unusual takeaways like these: 💰How to get started as a real estate investor 🧐Why it’s a good time to buy real estate now 💎The thing you must not let drive your investing decisions 🔑Keys to dealing with extremely upscale stakeholders or clients 🔥How you absolutely have to take the lead in managing key business relationships ABOUT THIS WEEK’S GUEST: John Gioffre is a multi-faceted professional who serves as an entrepreneur and investor. He is owner and head of operations at Revent Builds, an award-winning luxury home building firm in Austin, Texas. Gioffre leverages his ten years of business experience, legal acumen, and natural curiosity to revolutionize the construction industry's customer experience. His primary goal is to contribute to the community by assisting clients in realizing their American Dream. He accomplishes this by creating distinct and aesthetically pleasing homes that seamlessly blend with the character of Austin. John is passionate about helping the next generation of blue-collar leaders, not only because they are the backbone of many industries, like real estate, but also because these jobs are worthwhile pursuits for those seeking to be entrepreneurs. He launched Build Camp, a construction incubator meant to educate those who want to get involved in the homebuilding business, whether they have the experience or not.

33:09Talking to Peggy was so much fun, Laura is planning to visit her next time she’s in New Mexico.
