ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Conversations on leadership, storytelling, and staying human in a noisy world.
I'm Bobby Umar. 5x TEDx speaker, Inc Magazine Top 100 Leadership Speaker, and 2x LinkedIn Top Voice. For 25 years I've spoken on stages across 4 continents about the one thing that actually drives careers, businesses, and lives: the power of connection.
This show is where influence gets human again. Each episode gives you one big idea and something you can use right away, whether that's telling stories that move people, building a personal brand rooted in who you really are, becoming a thought leader without becoming a performer, or leading with the kind of vulnerability that builds real trust.
Expect solo teaching sessions, masterclasses with brilliant guest experts, and honest conversations about what it takes to be seen, heard, and remembered.
If you're a leader, entrepreneur, speaker, or anyone building something that depends on people trusting you, this show is for you.
