Dr. Kate Mason unpacks the false dichotomy that suggests women must choose between being liked and being respected, and explains how this mindset leads to self-doubt and diminished confidence. Kate shares practical strategies for overcoming common communication pitfalls women fall into, such as over-apologising and minimising their contributions. This episode is a must-listen for any woman looking to assert herself confidently while still being true to her authentic self.Takeaways:Women often prioritise being liked over being respected because they're conditioned to believe they must choose one or the other.The idea that likability and authority are mutually exclusive is a misconception that needs to be challenged.Striving for connection and presence is a more effective strategy than trying to be confident.Presenting as calm is a great way to demonstrate leadership and executive presence Over-preparing can undermine confidence and authenticity; practising a lighter touch approach is often more effective.

Dr. Kate Mason, executive communications coach and author of "Powerfully Likeable," dismantles the myth that you have to choose between being powerful or being liked as a leader.

She shares her simple exercise to map your power-up and power-down moments, explains why thinking about confidence is the worst way to build it, and offers strategies for handling feedback without triggering threat responses. Why you should listen: If you're tired of performing a leadership role that doesn't feel authentic, or struggling with vague feedback about needing more "executive presence," this conversation provides concrete tools to lead powerfully while staying true to who you are. ----------------------- Inside My CEO Calendar: How I Led A Team of 5k+ Without Getting Pulled Back Into the Weeds A behind-the-scenes private podcast for senior female leaders and CEOs who don't need fluff—just sharper thinking, smarter moves, and more time for what matters.

Curtis L. Harnagel is a creative polymath - a director, consultant, and producer whose career moves fluidly between live entertainment, multimedia, dance, art, and nonprofit worlds. A true pop-culture savant, Curtis carries decades of music knowledge, behind-the-scenes reasoning, and pedagogical wisdom from his perspective that apply across every industry. I first met Curtis on-site at a stunning fashion show fundraiser. I was hired as the shows Live-DJ while Curtis was the shows Music and Staging Director. After a few days of working with Curtis, I knew this was someone who sees a room from different angles. I asked him to join our collection of outlier teachers here on The Junkyard Love Podcast, we had nothing short of an excellent conversation.Armed with a degree in Radio, Television, and Film, Curtis's path has been a mosaic of lighting grand productions like Phantom of the Opera, sculpting award-winning dance performances, staging massive live events, and mentoring creative teams to greatness. He coined GESAMTCURTISWERK (“Total Work of Curtis”) to describe his craft. It's a philosophy that threads art, logistics, and human connection into something greater than the sum of its parts - a way of thinking that refuses to split art from logistics, communication from creation, or teaching from doing; it's all one interconnected, ever-evolving work: Curtis lives it. To top it off, his tagline? - "Turning Dreams Into Entertainment."In this episode, Curtis and I pull back the curtain on what it takes to knead, bake, and present large-scale creative projects with a true human touch. We talk about perception, the unspoken layers of communication, and how one thoughtful phrase can redirect an entire production. Curtis shares stories from the unpredictable trenches of live events - moments of tension, flashes of brilliance, and hail-mary's that knealed to the 'The show must go on'.We unravel wisdom passed down from influential teachers, explore the psychology of feedback and leadership, and examine how different minds approach creativity and problem-solving. We talk about the invisible threads that hold collaboration together, and how communication and listening can shape art, teams, and even lives.“GESAMTCURTISWERK [guh-zahmt-kur-tis-verk] noun, German. 1. "Total Work of Curtis" A. Gesamt - adj; total, overall (German) B. Curtis - noun; English proper name of Anglo-Norman origin derived from the word courteous. C. Werk - verb; to work (German) 2. Derived from: Gesamtkunstwerk [guh-zahmt-koo nst-verk] noun, German A.

“I grew up with puppetry and voices and weird little characters. I never really let that go — I just found ways to turn it into a life.” - Nate Begle In this episode, we're joined by Nate - He's a voice actor and puppeteer with over two decades of experience in storytelling across stage, screen, and sound. His career has spanned live theme park shows, national commercials, animation, and narration work for over 30 audiobooks. Nate has collaborated with major creative institutions, including James Patterson, The Jim Henson Company, Walt Disney Entertainment, and Sesame Street. Deeply rooted in performance, character work, and voice, Nate brings a grounded and authentic presence to everything he creates. He allows the characters, not the performer, to take center stage.Nate and I nestle in for a tender, playful, and witty conversation about a life built around performance. We talk discovering creative purpose early, navigating years of invisible work, and learning how to keep showing up for the craft even when no one is watching.We talk about his roots in Midwest community theater, how Fraggle Rock cracked open a lifelong fascination with puppetry, and the reality of building a career from bits and odd jobs to full-time creative expression. Along the way, we dive into themes like staying grounded while performing, the therapeutic power of play, self-belief in the face of doubt, and the surprising joy of working just off-camera.From humor and nostalgia to identity and intention, this conversation brings small insights that build into something honest, warm, and very real.More notable quotes from the episode:- “A lot of people think voiceover is just ‘talking,' but it's not. It's acting. It's truth-telling. It's intention.”- “It's like, if you see something that's not available where you're at - then make it.”- “There's a moment where you stop trying to get it perfect and start asking if it feels true. That's when you know you're doing the work.”For more on Nate Begle, head over to his IMDB here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4662429/Checkout Nates website here: https://www.natebegle.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@NateBegleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nate-begle-785155bb/Hit subscribe, we'll see ya next episode.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alison Fragale, organizational behavior expert at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School and author of Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve. We dive deep into why status isn't just about ego—it's actually a fundamental human need that directly impacts your mental health and professional success. Alison breaks down her formula for being both assertive and warm, explaining how resources follow respect in the workplace and why most of us are playing "introduction dodgeball" instead of building meaningful connections. 00:00 Introduction to the Likable Badass 03:06 The Impact of Writing a Book 05:55 Navigating Social Dynamics in School 09:11 The Introduction Dodgeball Experience 11:50 Experiencing Disrespect and Mid-Career Invisibility 15:06 Sharing and Building Status 17:45 The Influence of McKinsey on Career Choices 20:59 Gender Dynamics and Professional Identity 24:02 Finding and Using Your Voice 26:52 Key Takeaways and Conclusion We explore how her time at McKinsey shaped her understanding of power dynamics, the difference between having power (controlling resources) and having status (earning respect), and why those throwaway moments like "How are you?" are actually goldmines for relationship building. Alison shares personal stories about her need to always be "correct," her unexpected expertise in cheese boards, and how Golden Girls wisdom applies to leadership. As coffee-loving introverts who appreciate both Christmas music and strategic thinking, we discuss the art of making "small deposits" into professional relationships without burning yourself out through excessive kindness. This conversation is perfect for anyone who wants to command respect while staying approachable, understands that professional success requires both competence and connection, and believes you don't have to choose between being respected and being relatable.

Show Notes: The Power of Liking for SpeakersWelcome back! In this solo episode, John dives into one of Robert Cialdini's most underrated principles of influence—liking. If you've ever wondered why some speakers seem to get booked again and again, or how you can turn your audience into true fans without changing a word of your keynote, this episode is for you.Introduction: Why Liking MattersJohn kicks things off by sharing why understanding the principle of liking is a game-changer for anyone who wants to get booked, rebooked, or simply make a bigger impact as a speaker. It's not just about what you say on stage—it's about how you connect with people, both on and off the mic.The Science Behind LikingDrawing on Cialdini's research, John explains that we're all more likely to say “yes” to people we genuinely like. He shares his own journey, from starting out with a small audience to building a platform and podcast, all by focusing on curiosity, generosity, and authentic relationships.Real Connections vs. Transactional InteractionsJohn gets real about the difference between building genuine connections and falling into the trap of being transactional. He shares stories from his own experience—how being easy to work with and showing appreciation opened doors to new opportunities, referrals, and collaborations.How to Be More Likeable (and Why It Matters)This chapter is packed with practical advice. John talks about the importance of using audience-relevant language, sharing stories (especially the ones where things didn't go perfectly), and being open about your own quirks and mistakes. He reminds us that being likeable isn't about flattery or people-pleasing—it's about being real, approachable, and easy to work with.Likability Killers to AvoidNot everything is sunshine and roses—John also covers the behaviours that can quickly destroy likability. From being overly self-focused or inauthentic, to lacking emotional presence or coming across as rigid, he explains why these habits can hold you back as a speaker.Authenticity Over PerfectionOne of the big takeaways from this episode is that you don't need to win everyone over. In fact, trying to please everyone is a losing game. Instead, focus on showing up as someone who's trustworthy, warm, and competent. Likability can't make up for a bad talk, but it can turn a good one into something unforgettable.Wrapping Up & What's NextJohn closes the episode by encouraging you to be the speaker people want to work with and invite back. If you found this valuable, don't forget to like, subscribe, and check out the links in the show notes for free tools to help you build ethical influence.

A sunflower doesn't hold strategy meetings to decide which way to grow. It simply tilts toward the light. This conversation with Dr. Harry Cohen invites us to do the same. The heliotropic effect—our quiet, evolutionary pull toward positive energy—may be the simplest, most overlooked lever of leadership and community. We explore what happens when you become the light source instead of chasing it. Why a six-second smile hacks brain chemistry, how a clean apology resets trust faster than any marketing funnel, and what my own networking face-plant taught me about social tax.

In this episode of The Junkyard Love Podcast, we meet Wendy Cole, a 67-year-old Transition Mentor who fully transitioned after 65. Wendy shares her inner perspective from her years living as a married man and father while grappling deeply with identity, societal expectations, and secrets that visited her sleep. Wendy shares stories of how she embraced her true self later in life, and we discuss her intensive internal exploration, self-work, her time in therapy, friends along the way, meditation, Joe Dispenza, reshaping limiting beliefs, creating new identities, telling the truth, and more.Wendy invited me to think differently, and I had a great time exploring the heart and mind of this unorthodox teacher. Her story offers us deep insight into the human being's profound ability for change - at any age. Some quotes from Wendy:"The greatest freedom I've discovered wasn't physical—it was mental. Changing my thoughts and beliefs changed everything.""If you've never looked in the mirror and questioned your actual gender identity, 'I should have been a boy,' or 'I should have been a girl,' if you've never done that, I don't expect you to fully understand the depth of the distress.""My therapist challenged every one of my thoughts, every one of my beliefs in myself.""When you're able to finally align your outside with your inside, the sense of peace and joy is indescribable.""Every limiting belief I confronted was like shedding a layer; underneath, I found who I truly was."Guest Bio - Wendy Cole:Wendy Cole is a Transition Mentor dedicated to supporting individuals navigating significant life changes. Having personally transitioned around age 67, Wendy uses her transformative journey and deep empathy to guide clients toward embracing their authentic selves. Her mentoring approach combines mindfulness, visioning, and intentional energy shifts, helping others confront fears and discover joy in their true identities. Wendy believes deeply in the power of inner work, emphasizing that the mental and emotional aspects of transition are just as vital as the physical ones. Through coaching, speaking engagements, and sharing her powerful story, Wendy inspires individuals to embrace their journeys boldly and authentically.Connect with Wendy:Website: wendycolegtm.netLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/wendy-cole-gtmYouTube: youtube.com/@wendycole8326Demystifying The Transgender JourneyWebsite: https://thetransgenderjourney.comOn YouTube: https://youtube.com/@thetransgenderjourney On Podbean: https://demystifyingthetransgenderjourney.podbean.com/If you enjoyed this episode of The Junkyard Love Podcast, drop me a subscribe!Maybe you'll enjoy some of my upcoming episodes.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 21, 2015. Andy actually enjoyed Disney's new "Snow White;" catchy songs, likable characters, and a good message helped him overcome the continuity problems and other issues. This is not to be confused with Producer KellieAnn’s less-than-optimal review. Also in theaters is a new (and weird) movie from Elizabeth Olsen called "The Assessment" that imagines a future dystopia devastated by climate change and the family planning repercussions of that devastation. On streaming, Netflix has "The Residence", a Shonda Rhimes-produced murder mystery comedy set in the White House where the Chief Usher winds up dead during a state dinner. The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics. Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.

If you want to make friends and attract women, there's a temptation to just be super nice and agreeable. Surely, by being overly nice and never challenging anyone, you'll be the most likeable person in the world, right? Sorry, but the reality of social dynamics is not that simple. The truth is, to be likeable, you need to be respected, and to be respected, sometimes you have to challenge people, be disagreeable, and display a strong backbone. In today's episode, you're going to learn the uncomfortable truths you'll need to accept in order to be truly liked.

Starting Lineup: LeBron James more likeable with Luka Doncic DK Pittsburgh Sports host Matt Williamson What You May Have Missed
Today on Crina and Kirsten Get to Work our badass duo gets up close and personal with an exercise created by social scientist, author and speaker Alison Fragale. Fragale has written a great book, How to be a Likeable Badass. Fragale suggests one of the keys to being a likeable badass is asking for what you want—boldly, frequently, and strategically -- and she has developed an exercise on asking - the No Challenge. The Challenge: Get 10 Nos The idea? Ask for things you want until you get 10 rejections. Why? Because asking builds resilience and rejection isn't as painful as we think. What should you ask for? Well, anything you want - from asking your partner to not only make dinner, but also clean up to a raise or more flexibility, maybe a sabbatical, or how about just an upgrade to your hotel room? This exercise illustrates that when we ask, we get more of that we want, build confidence around asking, learn more about the nuances of rejection (may the no is only for now but a yes may come later, maybe there is no to the ask, but yes to something else or maybe the question creates an opportunity for connection and better understanding). And the more we ask, the less likely we are to leave opportunities on the table. Not to say it is not hard to ask - it sure is. We feel vulnerable. We assume that people dislike us for asking, which is actually an incorrect assumption. Asking someone for a favor makes them like you more, not less. People enjoy being helpful, and they're happier than we assume when they get the chance to say “yes.” We overestimate how much we will inconvenience people and we fear loss more than we crave gain. Rejection stings—literally. Studies show social rejection lights up the same part of the brain as physical pain (some researchers even tried treating it with Tylenol—yes, really - and that worked at lessening emotional pain). Likeable badasses don't wait for success to be handed to them—they ask for it. And if they hear “no” along the way? They shake it off, pop a Tylenol, and keep going.
