What happens after your world gets flipped upside down? We’ve just discovered the perfect analogy — the snow globe effect — and it finally puts words to a feeling we’ve all had. Also: are you an introvert, extrovert... or otrovert? Yep, it’s a thing — and if you're like Holly, it might just be your vibe. PLUS: We’ve got four things to watch this weekend. A show that made Holly's heart soar, a true-crime gem from Jessie, and something so action-packed Em couldn’t even blink. And yes, a Netflix movie that sees the ever-complicated Brad Pitt back on screen. Aaaaand if you’ve been an Outlouder since day one, there’s a little treat waiting for you at the end

How often do we let our past dictate the shape of our future? Too Often! We introverts replay old wounds and slip into comparison, rejection or shame until we start to believe they define us. In this episode I invite you to loosen the grip of yesterday and step into a future that reflects your real value and potential. We look at how to heal rejection, own our worth, and stop pretending to be someone we are not. I share affirmations that remind us we are good enough right now and unpack the mindset shifts that allow us to move forward with intention. Your past may have written the prologue but the pen for the next chapter is in your hand. The real question is will you carry the weight of old patterns or choose to flourish on your own terms?   ** Key Points ** Heal rejection wisely Own your value Write your next chapter     #FlourishBeyondThePast #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

As a lifelong, dyed in the wool, comic book enthusiast, it behooves me with the recent release of the new James Gunn Superman movie to share this short Patreon segment pulled from our recent Greensburg Tornado Disaster of 2007 episode. Back in 1938, to his creators, Kansas represented the humble origins and strong ethics we associate with the Superman we know today. They believed that no other State would have produced a character that more strongly embodying the traditional values of truth, justice, and the American way. But that was 1938, and we loved and welcomed him, and a lot has changed since then. In this short bonus piece, we explore the thought exercise: what would happen if his rocket approached Earth In 2025. It's way more likely, almost crucially logical that we might view him as a possible alien-combatant from the Planet Krypton who entered the United States illegally. We'll explore in about three minutes time. If you've ever been curious about our Patreon, I made a quick video walking through the benefits, your contribution, and a quick scroll through they layout and experience to keep you from being overwhelmed. It's a short pitch, but it's heart felt.Welcome to the Funeral Kazoo Patreon: Hope you Survive the ExperienceI also made a post directed at people who may be intimidated by some expectation that they have to be some tap dancing extrovert to participate. Nothing could be farther from the truth. PSA To The Quiet Ones. The Introverts.

How often have we introverts bent ourselves out of shape trying to fit a version of success that was never meant for us? It is time to call 'poppycock' on the damaging practice of pretzelising and remind ourselves that our quirks are not flaws to hide but the raw material of our growth. I share a slice of my own rebellious journey and why generic development paths only ever short-change us. This is about loosening the shackles, dropping the template, and making our lives our own. Our uniqueness is not a problem to solve. It is the very thing that will set us free.   ** Key Points ** Stop the pretzel act Quirks fuel growth Break the cookie-cutter template   #OwnYourIntrovertUniqueness t #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.  

Networking for Introverts Who'd Rather Get a Root Canal I Greg Roche Networking advice was built for extroverts. Go to events. Make small talk. Collect business cards. For introverts, it feels like punishment. Exhausting. Fake. Pointless. Greg Roche—known as The Introverted Networker—disagrees. He's living proof you can grow a powerful network without awkward icebreakers, or pretending to be someone you're not. In this conversation, we expose the myths keeping executives stuck—and the truths that set introverts free: Why “I don't have time to network” is a myth How 15 minutes a day beats every networking event How to be “easy to help” so people actually follow through The mic drop: The more connected we get through technology, the less connected we are as humans—because we've outsourced our humanness to tech Plus, a simple, immediate action to restart your network today This isn't about becoming someone you're not. It's about using what makes you different to your advantage—and reclaiming the kind of human connection technology will never replace. Whether you're an introvert who dreads networking—or an extrovert who's been doing it wrong—you'll walk away with a playbook that actually works.

Click here now to access the tool > ‍ How to Lead with Quiet Confidence and Create Partnerships that Thrive Does it sometimes feel as though the workplace, or business world, was designed for the loudest voices, not for you? In this episode of The Brilliant Business Book Festival, I'm joined by Jennifer Kahnweiler, author of The Introverted Leader (3rd Edition): Building on Your Quiet Strength, and several other books that change the business game. Her work shines a light on what so many of us have felt: introverts aren't less capable, they simply lead differently. And when they're allowed to do so, the results can be extraordinary. What follows isn't just a recap of our conversation. It's a deeper dive into why introversion is a leadership advantage, how introverts and extroverts can form “genius opposites” partnerships, and how practical tools like delegation and preparation can transform how we show up at work. You'll learn how understanding your natural wiring can help you prepare, communicate, and collaborate more powerfully, without pretending to be someone you're not. If you've ever felt overlooked in meetings, frustrated by fast-paced demands, or unsure how to delegate without losing your standards, this conversation will give you tools, strategies, and confidence to lead on your own terms. ‍ ‍ Prefer to WATCH instead of read? Visit: https://www.youtube.com/@melittacampbell/podcasts ‍ ‍ “Quiet leaders aren't less capable — they're often more prepared, more observant and more trusted.” - Jennifer Kahnweiler ‍ Why Introversion is a Leadership Strength For too long, introversion has been cast as something to overcome. “Speak up more.” “Be more confident.” “Network like extroverts.” ‍ But Jennifer reminds us: introversion isn't a flaw. It's a foundation. Introverted leaders thrive because they bring qualities that today's organisations desperately need: ‍ Preparation: the ability to walk into a room having thought through angles, questions, and next steps. Deep listening: a skill that makes colleagues and clients feel truly heard. Meaningful connection: not surface-level networking, but genuine one-to-one or small group relationships that last. Think of it like gardening. Extroverts may scatter seeds widely, covering ground quickly. Introverts plant fewer seeds, but tend and water them with patience … leading to stronger, longer-lasting growth. ‍ When introverts stop trying to keep up with the loudest voices and instead honour their natural wiring, leadership begins to feel more natural, more energising, and more effective. ‍ Making the Most of “Genius Opposites” One of Jennifer's most fascinating frameworks is what she calls “genius opposites”: introverted–extrovert partnerships that, when nurtured properly, create exponential results. Through her research, she developed the ABCDE model for making these partnerships thrive: A – Accept the Alien: stop trying to change your partner; embrace their difference. B – Bring on the Battles: don't avoid conflict, air it out early before resentment builds. C – Cast the Character: put people in roles where their strengths shine (the extrovert waving people down at a trade show; the introvert taking them deeper once they're at the booth). D – Destroy the Dislike: you don't have to be best friends, but you do need mutual respect, and a little humour goes a long way. E – Each Can't Offer Everything: clients and colleagues benefit when both voices are present; difference leads to richer solutions. The metaphor here is a pair of rowers in a boat. If both row on the same side, you go in circles. But when you learn to pull in sync from opposite sides, you glide forward faster and straighter than you ever could alone. ‍ “The right introvert–extrovert partnership doesn't add up, it multiplies.” - Jennifer Kahnweiler ‍ Speaking Up — Without Being Loud One of the biggest frustrations introverts share is being overlooked in meetings. You pause to reflect before speaking, and suddenly someone else has jumped in. Silence gets misread as disinterest. But Jennifer offers strategies that allow introverts to be heard without forcing themselves to “perform”: Prepare key points ahead of time so you can contribute with clarity. Ask for reflection time (“I'd like to think about this and come back with a response tomorrow”). Follow up in writing with a synthesis of ideas, often more valuable than what's said in the room. Brené Brown has even built reflection breaks into her team's meetings, so introverts (including herself) have space to process ideas before decisions are made. A simple but profound reminder that influence doesn't always happen in the room; it happens in the follow-up too. ‍ Delegation Without the Guilt Many introverts struggle with delegation — worried that tasks won't be done to their standard, or that they'll burden others. But holding on to everything creates bottlenecks, exhaustion and stalled growth. Jennifer reframes delegation as a gift, not a burden. By handing over tasks: You free space for your strategic thinking, the work only you can do. You give others the opportunity to learn and grow. You prevent burnout, ensuring you show up as your best self. Think of delegation like passing a torch in a relay race. You're not abandoning the run; you're ensuring the team as a whole keeps moving forward faster. ‍ The Quiet Confidence Advantage If you take only one thing from Jennifer's research and our conversation, let it be this: Introversion is not just “enough” — it's an advantage. By honouring your natural strengths, partnering wisely with complementary styles, and creating environments where quieter voices are respected, you don't just survive in leadership — you thrive. And perhaps the bigger invitation is this: what if we stopped assuming leadership must look a certain way, and instead embraced the full spectrum of how people naturally show up? The result wouldn't just be fairer, it would be far more effective. ‍ Final Thought to Reflect On? What could shift for you if you stopped trying to “keep up” with the loudest voices, and instead led in the way only you can? ‍ Want to explore what this could look like for you? ‍Learn more about the ways you can work with Melitta Campbell to uncover your Value Sweet Spot to market, sell and grow your business confidently, and always on your terms.

It is my rallying cry for you to grab life with both hands, to stretch beyond the timid version of yourself, and to design a rhythm that feels like home. No more rationing your joy. No more invisibility. It is your life. Live it your way.   ** Key Points ** Own every decision Seize your joy Refuse to shrink   #UnapologeticallyIntrovert #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   Resources Download the 'Becoming Braver Starter Kit' at https://frustratedtoflourishing.com/cbfmci  Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

A leadership psychologist shares the toughest workplace turnaround of her career, the skill most leaders get wrong, and how to restore trust, unity, and results. In this episode Rebecca Jenkins and Callum Jenkins talk with Dr. Mira Brancu, leadership advisor, licensed psychologist, and CEO of Towerscope, to explore how and why leadership needs to evolve.  Mira has over 20 years' experience helping technical experts transition into leadership roles, navigate complex organisations, and build trust in challenging environments. Mira is the author of Millennial's Guide to Workplace Politics and host of The Hard Skills Podcast, where she focuses on the intersection of leadership, behavioural science, and organisational psychology. Together, we dive into: Toxic vs. healthy cultures - what the warning signs look like and how to intervene early. Psychological safety - why it's the cornerstone of innovation and high performance. The leadership skill most leaders struggle with right now - and how to improve it. Introvert vs. extrovert leadership - busting the myths and understanding their unique strengths.

The traditional sales playbook was written for extroverts. It tells you to work the room, dial for dollars, and constantly be "out there”, which is a model that drains introverts and forces them to play a game they're not built for. The biggest lie in this industry is that to succeed as an introvert, you have to fake being someone you're not.As an introvert who has built a successful business, I'm here to tell you there's a better way. In this episode, I break down the blueprint for creating an inbound lead system that brings prospects directly to you. We get into why content creation on platforms like LinkedIn isn't a weakness for introverts; it's their ultimate advantage. This is the playbook for winning on your own terms, without ever having to be the loudest person in the room.▶▶ Sign Up For Our Social Media Sales Seminar:https://www.completegameu.com/registration-SMSSKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) How Introverts Can Dominate Sales(00:00:34) A Sales Blueprint for Introverts (00:05:55) How to Make Prospects Come to You (00:09:00) Leveraging Your Knowledge as Your Best Sales Tool(00:12:32) Your Excuses Are Over: A Challenge to Start Creating Content                             CONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

It's all about energy, and if you're an introvert, you aren't getting it by peopling. Not that you're misanthropic.  You just need to be very discerning about what and who gets your precious energy and build in recovery time. Deep dive with me into this topic Introverts are not incompetent extroverts, you have a whole different style of interfacing with the world that gets corrupted when you are expected to wear the mask of an extrovert. Introverts are empathetic and passionate people. You care about the people and causes they resonate with and commit to them unflinchingly. Because introverts expend energy from interacting with others, you selectively invest it in alignment with your passions. Introverts can see the patterns, connect the dots, and convene the right resources because you take the time to process - trust your instincts It's essential to rest and restore in order to be able to function best when interacting with others. Self care helps you exhibit your strengths not your weaknesses.

In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Angira Sceusi, Executive Director of redefinED atlanta, a nonprofit committed to ensuring every student in Atlanta can attend an excellent K-12 public school. Angira was named to the 2025 Atlanta 500, a list of the city's most powerful leaders, and selected for the 2026 class of Leadership Atlanta.   Angira shares her journey from being a behind-the-scenes introvert to stepping into the spotlight and embracing her role as the face of the organization. Here's what helped her:   Name the self-doubt. Even with advanced degrees and leadership experience, Angira realized she was holding herself back due to a quiet sense of imposter syndrome. She asked herself, “Why don't I want to be the face of this organization?” and uncovered the self-doubt beneath the surface. Use grounding mantras. To counter that doubt, Angira leans on a simple, powerful mantra: “I am enough. I am worthy.” She repeats it daily and whenever insecurity arises as a reminder of her value and strength. Redefine what leadership looks like. Angira noticed that we often idolize a certain kind of leader—someone loud, charismatic, preaching from the mountaintop. But that's not her style, and that's okay. She's a thoughtful, cerebral leader who needs time to reflect before responding. By embracing her authentic self, she realized she could lead powerfully as herself, not in spite of herself. Angira reminds us that leadership doesn't require becoming someone else. When we name our self-doubt, lean into our truth, and affirm our worth, we can show up with power—just as we are.   Thank you, Angira, for sharing your wisdom and your story.

Why does evangelicalism feel like home to so many, yet leave others feeling out of place? This episode dives into the complexities of navigating faith, politics, and the church's role in society. The hosts explore questions of belonging, the tension between community and cultural critique, and what it means to follow Jesus in a world shaped by injustice and division. From personal anecdotes about introversion to deep reflections on justice, cruciformity, and the teachings of Jesus, this conversation challenges traditional views of Christianity while encouraging critical thinking and humility. How do we reconcile love for neighbors with standing against systems that harm the marginalized? What limits, if any, exist in extending biblical hospitality? These are just a few of the thought-provoking questions brought to the table. Whether you're wrestling with faith, grappling with cultural issues, or seeking to understand the intersection of theology and justice, this discussion offers insight and encouragement for the journey.
