What makes someone truly influential? Is it popularity, followers, position, talent… or is it something deeper? In this episode of How to Win, we explore what real influence actually looks like and why some people leave a lasting impact while others simply attract attention. We talk about the difference between influence and popularity, the role character plays in leadership, and how everyday actions can shape the people around us. Whether you lead in business, ministry, at home, or simply through the way you live your life, influence is bigger than a title. This conversation will challenge you to think differently about the impact you're making and the example you're setting. What person has influenced your life the most and why? Let us know in the comments.

Setting up a business is a major life decision that should not be taken lightly—it is incredibly painful. The ups definitely outweigh the downs, but the downs can be dark. Having a co-founder makes all the difference. Matthew Duhig, CEO and co-founder of FX Digital, started the business at university with his co-founder Tom, to build a website for his sister's bridal shop for free. Fifteen years later, they've grown from £1.5M to approaching £10M revenue, from 20 people to nearly 80, and they've built connected TV applications for major media and sports companies. Along the way, they had one major near-death experience when a single client became 80% of revenue, then in-housed the work down to 60%—leaving Matt and Tom with no personal wealth or assets, living together, staring at the barrel. But they believed in their proposition, backed themselves against the wall, and won 4 of 5-6 bids they needed to win, which launched them into major tech company work and one of their best years ever.In this episode, Matt reveals his four contrarian beliefs about building businesses: (1) Running a business is incredibly painful and decision should not be taken lightly; (2) Vision comes from consumption (reading, listening, watching—not plucking it from air); (3) Don't make promises you can't control (resentment is harder to overcome than anything else in teams); (4) The job of an entrepreneur is to reduce risk (not take risks). He shares why he's an absolute delegator (sometimes great, sometimes backfires), how he managed to get off the tools when billing five days a week, why he stays in touch with 5-10 people at any given time who might be future hires, and how Barcelona became their second office (Jack the QA lead asked if he could relocate and Matt asked him to set up an office instead).What you'll learn:

MATRIARCH MASTERMIND IS OPENYou became a mother and your standard changed.The content you were willing to post before. The offers you would have launched. The version of yourself you were okay putting out into the world. You can't do it anymore. Not because you're tired. Because something in you raised the bar.And now you're trying to out-rep your way to results that require a completely different foundation.More content. More offers. More consistency. More volume. More showing up.And it's still not moving.Because more was never the answer. You're pouring into infrastructure that doesn't fit who you became after motherhood rearranged everything. Your edge is there. Your voice is there. Something just isn't translating yet.This episode is about what actually moves it.IN THIS EPISODE— Why your standard changing after motherhood isn't a block — it's the most important data point in your business right now— The trap of volume: why more content, more offers, and more reps is just more exhaustion when the foundation doesn't fit— What's actually missing — and why it's not strategy, consistency, or a better hook— The Influential Code: the truest, most compelling way your power wants to come through — and why when it's dialed in, everything converts differently— Why the infrastructure underneath your business needs to match the woman you actually are now — not the one you were beforeMore isn't it. Sharper is.

In the late 1970s, photographer Sophie Rivera began asking her fellow Nuyoricans if she could take their picture on the street. So began her Latino Portrait series that is just one of the many ways Rivera reframed how Puerto Rican New Yorkers were depicted on camera in mass media.

British politics is in turmoil. The two party system has collapsed, the far right has won huge gains across the country. Crises of this scale can create huge opportunities for socialists too, but only when the left is organised and ready. Peter Mertens is the general secretary of the Workers' Party of Belgium. If recent years in British politics have had a manic-depressive quality, with extreme highs and extreme lows, the Workers' Party of Belgium under Mertens takes a very different approach. They might be relatively unknown in the UK, but as we speak, they're fourth in the national polls, and leading in Brussels. They've got 15 parliamentary seats – not bad for out and proud Marxist-Leninists. How have they done it? By growing cautiously and deliberately. They run community health clinics, organise locally, and impose strict internal discipline. Their party prioritises unity and strategy. But how well-placed is it to take on the overlapping crises of the 21st Century? What advice does Mertens have for Zack Polanski? How can we stop middle class people taking over and dominating the left? And how is politics like football?

Today's episode is going to completely change the way you think about every conversation you've been too afraid to have. Ever wonder why your relationships feel surface level, even after years?  Why you feel lonely, even when you're surrounded by people?  Why you say “I'm fine,” even when you're not? Why some people earn trust instantly, while you struggle to be taken seriously? Harvard Business School's Dr. Leslie K. John, a behavioral scientist who has spent decades studying honesty, trust, privacy, regret, and decision-making, is here to teach you the answer – and it's not what you think. In today's episode, you will learn the surprising science of honesty, vulnerability, and human connection.  Her research has found why the things you don't say are quietly hurting your health, your relationships, and your career – and exactly what to do about it. For years, the advice has been: don't overshare, at work or with friends. Keep things private. But decades of Harvard research say that advice is backwards.  Dr. John's findings are shocking, and reveal that the real problem, the one deepening loneliness and costing you the career and connections you want, is undersharing. In this episode, you'll learn that 89% of people would choose to work with, trust, and hire someone who reveals something difficult, even something unflattering, over someone who stays quiet.   That keeping secrets doesn't just feel heavy. Research shows it lowers cognitive performance, IQ, and is linked to measurable declines in physical health. That one of the most common deathbed regrets is “I wish I had shared my feelings more.” That you can use The Disclosure Matrix, which is the exact decision-making tool Dr. John teaches at Harvard Business School, so you always know when to speak up and when to stay quiet. And, you'll learn the 2-sentence framework that makes any hard conversation easier to start. If you've ever held something back because you didn't want to make things awkward, said "I'm fine" when you weren't, or wished your relationships felt deeper and more honest, this episode will change the way you communicate forever.

Episode 365 Craig Venter, one of the world's most influential geneticists, has died aged 79. He leaves behind an incredible - and complicated - legacy. Venter is primarily known for playing a leading role in the sequencing of the human genome. Later he pioneered the field of synthetic biology, creating what was described as the first synthetic life form - a feat that was not without controversy. So what drove Venter? And why was he so compelled to promote the idea of science as a competitive race? We discuss his many achievements, including his work in marine biology - and explore the pioneering methods behind it all. Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet are joined by science writer Mike Marshall, and former New Scientist editor Roger Highfield.

Finding one's voice in climate action can come in many forms. Author and activist Taylor Brorby grew up in Center, North Dakota as a fourth-generation member of a fossil-fuel family. He struggled to find his place as a young gay kid who loved art, music, nature and poetry. Over time, he turned that tension into writing that challenges the fossil fuel industry, makes space for others stuck in a broken system, and inspires a more just future.  Suzie Hicks felt the weight of climate concerns but after college, didn't know what to do with those feelings. After doing an internship at the New England Aquarium, they realized they could merge their love of performing with a career focused on climate. With the help of a sunflower puppet named Sprout, Suzie created a children's show that teaches kids about climate change through a frame of possibility and hope, not doom and gloom.  Guests Taylor Brorby, Activist, Author, “Boys and Oil: Growing Up Gay in a Fractured Land” Suzie Hicks, Climate Media Maker and Educator For show notes, transcript, and related links, visit ClimateOne.org/podcasts. 00:00 – Intro 02:20 – Taylor Brorby describes the N.D. town where he grew up 05:00 – What he learned from the prairie landscape 07:30 – Other queer writers from the Great Plains 13:30 – Influential environmental writers  17:00 – Writing optimistically rather than dystopian narratives 20:00 – Getting arrested protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline 25:30 – Why we need to be supporting rural writers  30:00 – Project Tundra, a carbon capture project near Center, N.D. 34:00 – Origins of Suzie Hicks, the Climate Chick 36:30 – It's okay to have complicated feelings about climate change 40:00 – Working with kids' existing love for nature in educating them about climate change 42:00 – Why introduce kids to climate change?

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Curtis Symonds. Interview Purpose The primary purpose of the interview is to: Highlight the growth and cultural significance of HBCU GO, the leading HBCU‑focused media and streaming platform under Allen Media Group. Celebrate Curtis Symonds’ induction into the Cable Hall of Fame, recognizing his 37+ years of leadership and impact in cable, sports media, and Black‑owned media institutions. Educate audiences on the value of HBCUs—not only academically and culturally, but as a powerful, educated, and economically influential audience. Reinforce storytelling, ownership, and representation as essential elements in preserving Black history and driving future opportunity. Key Takeaways 1. HBCU GO Was Built to Solve an Access and Representation Gap Curtis Symonds launched HBCU GO after recognizing that Black college sports and stories were severely underrepresented in mainstream media. Early rejection by cable distributors reinforced the need for ownership and persistence. Insight: HBCU GO exists not just as a network, but as a corrective platform for visibility, equity, and cultural preservation. 2. The Byron Allen Acquisition Enabled Scale Without Compromising Vision When Byron Allen acquired HBCU GO TV in 2021, the partnership was grounded in trust, quality, and shared belief in Black excellence. Allen Media Group provided infrastructure and capital while preserving Symonds’ creative and strategic leadership. Insight: Ownership combined with institutional backing allowed HBCU GO to compete at broadcast-quality levels equivalent to ESPN and major networks. 3. HBCU Audiences Are Educated, Influential, and Economically Valuable Symonds emphasized that HBCU graduates represent a disproportionate share of Black leadership across education, government, medicine, and STEM. Insight: HBCU audiences are not niche—they are central to America’s Black middle and professional class, making them highly attractive for brands, advertisers, and financial institutions. 4. HBCU GO Is a Cultural Platform, Not Just a Sports Network While live sports—including football classics, homecomings, and rivalries—are the anchor, HBCU GO is positioned as a broader cultural and educational storytelling platform. Insight: The long‑term vision is to tell untold HBCU stories, educate young people about their legacy, and shape cultural identity through digital‑first media. 5. Longevity, Relationships, and “Betting on Yourself” Define Success Symonds reflected on his career path—from ESPN to BET, from rejection to Hall of Fame—and emphasized resilience, timing, and relationship‑building as critical to long‑term success. Insight: Career impact is measured not by speed, but by sustained contribution and legacy. Notable Quotes “I wanted to show the world that two Black men can get together and do something successfully.”— Curtis Symonds on partnering with Byron Allen “When we put this thing on the air, it had to be quality. We couldn’t put up anything that looked scrappy.”— On competing at a national broadcast standard “HBCU GO has made a statement in the television and streaming business.”— On industry recognition and growth “You’re getting a highly educated audience. That middle‑class audience. That buying audience.”— On the value of HBCU viewers “Every HBCU has a story that people don’t know about—and those stories matter.”— On the importance of storytelling and history “I’m not mad at anybody. It took 30 years to get here. When my time came, I was ready.”— On Hall of Fame induction and career reflection Strategic Relevance (Why This Interview Matters) This conversation reinforces why Curtis Symonds—and platforms like HBCU GO—are uniquely positioned to: Build trust with Black audiences Deliver authentic cultural storytelling at scale Serve as credible partners for brands, media companies, and institutions seeking meaningful engagement with HBCU and African American communities #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
