Most networking advice tells you to “be nice” — but nice is forgettable. In this episode, AJ and Johnny reveal the three hidden signals spies use to win rooms, open doors fast, and build influence without small talk. You'll learn how to spot the leader signal (who really runs the room), the wish signal (what someone quietly wants), and the fence signal (what they're protecting). These micro-signals determine who gets remembered, trusted, and invited back. Whether you're trying to close a deal, land a promotion, or make your next event actually count, this episode gives you the tactical networking playbook used by elite operators in high-stakes situations — and shows you how to apply it in everyday life.

On today's episode, we welcome the multi-talented Kim Ray, a writer, producer, and director whose career spans reality TV, documentaries, and scripted projects. Best known for her work on the Netflix documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two, Kim's journey through the industry is an inspiring tale of creativity, resilience, and innovation.Our conversation begins with Kim's fascinating experience co-writing West Bank Story, a parody of West Side Story that cleverly blended humor with themes of peace and cultural commonality. As Kim describes, “It was about showing that even in a world full of conflict, there's so much that connects us.” The project, which gained significant recognition, was a testament to her ability to merge art with meaningful messages.Kim's transition into reality television was both unexpected and transformative. While it wasn't her original focus, she brought her narrative expertise to shows like The X Factor and Kendra on Top. “Reality TV,” Kim explains, “requires storytelling that's just as nuanced as scripted work. You're shaping real moments into something cohesive and engaging.” Her work on these projects highlights her adaptability and deep understanding of human emotion.One of the standout points in Kim's career was producing Gaga: Five Foot Two. The project offered an intimate glimpse into Lady Gaga's life, showcasing her vulnerabilities and strength. Kim recounts the challenges of crafting such an unfiltered narrative, saying, “The magic was in the authenticity. Gaga was raw and real, and we wanted viewers to feel like they were walking alongside her.” The minimal crew and close collaboration created an unparalleled connection between the subject and the audience.Beyond her professional achievements, Kim's insights into the industry's evolution are enlightening. She speaks candidly about the systemic challenges women face in Hollywood, sharing how she navigated a landscape often dominated by male voices. Her reflections on the #MeToo movement underscore the importance of platforms like social media for amplifying marginalized voices. “It's a double-edged sword,” Kim notes, “but it's also a powerful tool for change.”Kim's current project, Violet's New Life, delves into the futuristic concept of consciousness transfer. The short film and pilot explore what it means to live again in a synthetic body, blending technology and human emotion. As Kim puts it, “It's not just about immortality—it's about the psychology of starting over, carrying the weight of one life into another.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

Steve Thomson (in for Henry Lake) talks with Minnesota Timberwolves Beat Reporter Chris Hine from the Minnesota StarTribune about his Anthyony Edwards book finally having a normal training camp, positional concerns, a potential "x factor" their preseason game tomorrow vs. Indiana and more.
Brief DescriptionWhy do some people always seem “lucky” while others miss out? In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with Wharton economics professor Judd Kessler, author of Lucky by Design, to reveal the hidden rules that govern life's most important markets—from dating to job hunting to Taylor Swift tickets. These “choose me” markets don't run on money alone; they run on signals, timing, and strategy. You'll learn why signaling interest often beats being perfect, how “settling for silver” can land you gold, and why gaming the system sometimes backfires. Judd breaks down strategies for college admissions, career opportunities, dating apps, and even Costco parking lots. Whether you're chasing a dream job, trying to stand out in dating, or just fighting bots for concert tickets, this conversation shows you how to design your own luck. What to Listen For [00:01:04] What it means to be “lucky by design” and why hidden markets matter [00:02:11] Taylor Swift tickets, hot restaurants, and how hidden rules decide who wins [00:05:15] “Choose me” markets—jobs, schools, and dating—where the other side decides [00:07:29] The two signals that matter most: competence and real interest [00:10:22] Johnny's story of breaking into bands through excitement and persistence [00:13:24] Why idiosyncratic (weird) signals often work better than safe ones [00:19:39] Costly signals—when to use them, and when they're wasted [00:21:41] The strategy of “settling for silver” to actually win [00:27:05] When gaming the system works—and when it backfires [00:29:53] Designing your inbox and attention like a market [00:35:20] How a strong plan B lets you go for gold [00:37:38] Costco parking lots as the perfect example of hidden strategy [00:47:17] Hidden markets at home: sharing chores and mental load with equity [00:55:05] Why ticket resale markets frustrate Judd—and how he wants to fix them A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.

What if confidence wasn't in your head, but in your posture? In this episode, AJ and Johnny unpack the science of body language and embodied cognition—how standing tall, opening your chest, and taking up space sends powerful signals to your brain and to everyone around you. Backed by psychology research, they show how posture isn't just a reflection of mood—it actively creates it. You'll discover why slumped shoulders and “phone posture” leak low status, while upright, expansive body language instantly boosts mood, confidence, and presence. From the “doorway drill” to quick body checks, AJ and Johnny share practical tools to reset your default signals so you project confidence in every meeting, date, or social interaction—before you even say a word. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Why posture changes your mood, confidence, and signals [00:01:19] How unconscious slumping leaks insecurity—and how body checks fix it [00:02:48] The epidemic of phone posture and desk work destroying confidence [00:03:13] Embodied cognition: how your body teaches your mind to feel safe or defeated [00:04:04] Research: upright posture increases self-esteem, mood, and processing speed [00:04:28] Power posing and why expansive body language boosts risk tolerance [00:05:16] The posture loop: stand tall, make eye contact, take up space, smile [00:06:03] The doorway drill: reset your posture every time you walk through a door [00:07:04] Client story: how Jim rewired his posture with reminders and changed his default [00:07:43] Why confidence is easier to control through body language than thoughts A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.

Are we drowning in psychobabble? In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with psychotherapist and author Joe Nucci to debunk the viral mental health myths dominating social media. From the overuse of “trauma” and “gaslighting” to the idea that everyone needs therapy, Joe exposes how pop-psychology has blurred the lines between real treatment and trendy jargon. They dig into why therapy has become a status symbol, how diagnoses are being misused as identity labels, and the dangers of weaponizing terms like narcissism in dating and relationships. Joe also explains what gaslighting actually is (and why it can't happen in a single argument), and how social media is encouraging unhealthy identity-seeking through mental health labels. Whether you've rolled your eyes at overused buzzwords online—or wondered if you're guilty of using them yourself—this conversation will help you cut through the noise, spot real red flags, and separate genuine mental health wisdom from misleading myths. What to Listen For [00:00:22] Defining psychobabble—why using therapy language as weapons is so common [00:03:23] Why we crave explanations—and how psychobabble gives false certainty [00:04:52] Myth #1: “Everybody needs therapy”—why it's not true [00:07:36] How therapy turned into a status symbol and dating requirement [00:12:59] Is more intimacy always better?

Why do some people command instant respect without saying a word? In this episode, AJ and Johnny reveal the four high value signals that separate quiet authority from desperate posturing. Respect isn't about aggression, volume, or proving you belong—it's about presence. With research from Harvard and Frame Strength studies, they unpack how calmness, cooperation, congruent body language, and responsibility change the way people see you in any room. You'll learn why calm authority beats dominance, why spotlighting others actually raises your own status, and how subtle shifts in posture and eye contact project confidence before you speak. Through client stories and science-backed insights, AJ and Johnny show how these hidden behaviors flip the script—turning you from overlooked to magnetic. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Why respect isn't about dominance but presence [00:01:20] Calm authority as the strongest frame in any room [00:02:08] Why cooperation—not competition—earns lasting respect [00:02:34] How spotlighting others signals leadership [00:02:48] Congruent body language and stillness as confidence cues [00:03:31] Why intentional goals erase nervous energy [00:04:37] Taking responsibility as the ultimate trust builder [00:06:05] Client story: Shane's promotion after flipping competitive signals [00:06:47] Low value vs. high value: notice me vs. I notice you [00:07:50] Weekly challenge: practice one high value signal per day [00:08:13] How the Influence Index reveals your default signals A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.

Week 4 is here, and we're kicking things off with headlines that prove special teams can actually be… special? Gundy's gone, Dart gets the nod, and college football rankings are doing the cha-cha with Derek leading the breakdown. Meanwhile, Caleb reflects on how age catches up to us all (spoiler: it's undefeated).We hand out this week's “Eliminated Team of the Week” badges—sorry Giants, Titans, and Saints fans, and yes, Derek is still side-eyeing the Bengals. Stockwatch is back with Hoosiers and Bills on the rise, while Malik Nabers' fantasy managers might want to look away.Our Game of the Week takes us to Seahawks vs. Cardinals, with X-Factor spotlights on Grey Zabel and Trey Benson, plus a bonus Bengals vs. Broncos matchup because why not? And of course, Brodie Bets return, where Derek and Caleb attempt to prove that betting with handshakes is a legit strategy (jury's still out).So grab your headset, your coffee, or your panic meter—it's time for a fun, fiery, and slightly unhinged Week 4 preview.Theme music by The Riley Brothers Band.

As a voice and public speaking coach, I believe your voice is your most powerful tool—whether you're speaking or singing. The key difference lies not in the voice itself but in how we shape it. This understanding led me to an early revelation: the techniques I used to help singers could be seamlessly applied to enhance speaking skills. Over the past decade, I've helped individuals from all walks of life—ranging from first-time public speakers to X Factor auditionees—develop their voices and achieve their goals. From improving vocal range and projection to overcoming performance anxiety, I've found the journey transformative and the results empowering. Today, I specialise in helping business leaders, entrepreneurs, and teams communicate with clarity, confidence, and presence. Through my Cannon Method, I focus on three essential pillars: - *Voice*: Master vocal techniques like projection, articulation, and resonance, ensuring your words carry authority.- *Confidence*: Build unshakeable self-assurance with proven strategies to overcome anxiety and stay focused under pressure.- *Presence*: Command the room with engaging non-verbal communication—eye contact, posture, and energy that captivates your audience. Before coaching, I spent my career as a singer and saxophonist, performing alongside icons like Sir Tom Jones and Roger Taylor from Queen. Those years taught me the art of sustaining audience engagement through passion, precision, and vocal reliability. Now, I use those same principles to help you optimise your vocal performance. Whether you're leading high-stakes meetings, delivering compelling presentations, or striving to communicate more confidently, I'll guide you to develop a strong, impactful voice that amplifies your message.

What if your emotions weren't problems to fix, but signals to guide you? Dr. Marc Brackett, founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of Permission to Feel and Dealing with Feeling, joins AJ and Johnny to break down why most of us were never taught real emotional regulation—and how to finally build it. Marc shares the RULER framework (Recognize, Understand, Label, Express, Regulate) and explains why emotional regulation is less about suppression and more about awareness, vocabulary, and strategy. From the “emotional budget” that gets depleted by sleep loss and stress, to the critical difference between anxiety, stress, and fear, this conversation reframes emotions as tools for better decision-making, relationships, and performance. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, mislabeled your emotions, or struggled to manage reactions in parenting, work, or conflict, this episode gives you practical science-backed steps to regulate instead of ruminate.

Sam Bruchhaus of Sumer Sports joins Afternoon Drive to preview the Browns week three matchup with the Green Bay Packers. He thinks there's plenty of strong signs coming from the offense, but they might not be able to excel until Joe Flacco improves or is taken out for someone else.
What if laughter wasn't just fun—but a social superpower? In this episode, AJ and Johnny unpack the science of laughter and why it's one of the strongest signals of connection, trust, and influence. Far more than a reaction to humor, laughter is a primal bonding mechanism that makes you more memorable, likable, and magnetic. They break down why people laugh even when nothing's funny, how laughter spreads through mirror neurons, and why it's one of the easiest ways to shift group dynamics in your favor. With insights from research in psychology and evolutionary biology, plus client stories, AJ and Johnny reveal how to use laughter as a tool—not a trick—for stronger relationships, better networking, and higher social intelligence.

Why do some people make every conversation better? Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author Charles Duhigg (Supercommunicators, The Power of Habit) returns to reveal the science behind connection that anyone can learn. In this conversation with AJ and Johnny, Charles explains why “super communicators” aren't extroverts or natural charmers—they're people who consistently use a handful of skills that make others feel smart, heard, and valued. From NASA astronaut interviews to speed dating experiments, Charles shares practical techniques like “looping for understanding,” perspective-getting, and callbacks that transform awkward or tense moments into genuine connection. Whether you're navigating conflict with your boss, strengthening friendships, or reconnecting with someone after years apart, these tools will help you communicate with intention, build trust, and leave every conversation stronger than when it started.

Ever wonder why people don't take you seriously—even when you're smart and hardworking? In this episode, AJ and Johnny reveal the three most common low value signals that quietly repel respect: being supplicative (begging for approval), combative (using force or intimidation), and competitive (constantly one-upping). Backed by research from UCLA, Harvard, and game theory, they explain how these blind spots sabotage influence and connection—and how to flip them into high value behaviors that attract trust, respect, and opportunity. You'll learn why excessive apologizing, fake “alpha” dominance, and relentless bragging send the wrong message, and how small shifts—like standing tall, reframing with “we” language, and spotlighting others—instantly change how people respond to you. If you've ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or like your hard work isn't respected, this episode shows you how to break free from low value patterns and project real confidence. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Why people don't take you seriously: the hidden impact of low value signals [00:01:02] Supplicative behaviors—apologizing, shrinking, and begging for approval [00:02:36] The “nice guy” conundrum: why being accommodating makes you forgettable [00:03:25] Combative behaviors—dominance, intimidation, and fake alpha posturing [00:03:48] Why real strength is presence, not shouting [00:04:14] Competitive behaviors—one-upping, bragging, and name-dropping [00:05:31] Why constant competition makes you high-maintenance [00:06:03] High achievers' blind spot: mistaking resumes for personality [00:06:24] Client story: Jim's sales calls flipped once he stopped proving himself [00:07:21] The three low value signals summed up—and the high value alternative [00:07:46] Weekly challenge: audit your signals and flip them into high value behaviors [00:08:11] Take the free Influence Index quiz to discover your influence score A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.

Why do some people rise effortlessly while others go unnoticed? Toby E. Stuart, Leo Helzel Distinguished Professor of Business Administration at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, joins AJ and Johnny to reveal how social status—not just talent—shapes careers, opportunities, and success. Drawing from decades of research on social networks and status dynamics, Toby explains why recognition compounds like interest, why affiliation often matters more than merit, and how “anointing” can quietly decide who wins in today's winner-take-most world. From Nobel Prizes to Michelin stars to online platforms like Yelp, Stuart uncovers the paradox of prestige: success is as much about who endorses you as what you achieve. He also explores the dark side of status—scams, pressure to maintain it, and the loneliness of reaching the top. If you've ever felt overlooked despite strong results, this episode exposes the hidden rules of the status game and how to finally play it smarter. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Why affiliation and endorsements boost status more than raw merit [00:01:17] The Matthew Effect: small early wins snowball into long-term success [00:03:14] How identity shapes evaluation—Lord Rayleigh's “voodoo science” story [00:06:05] Achieved vs. ascribed status and why both determine outcomes [00:08:32] Algorithms as modern gatekeepers of status [00:13:16] Why “anointers” now include platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, and Yelp [00:17:26] How status transfers through networks like kinetic energy [00:23:25] The rise (and risk) of gaming the status system [00:27:42] The hamster wheel of high status: pressure, scrutiny, and imposter syndrome [00:33:42] Why authentic friendships become harder at the top [00:40:29] The future of status in the age of AI and algorithms A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.

Do you avoid conflict—or use it to grow your influence? In this episode, AJ and Johnny share a science-backed framework for conflict resolution that transforms tense moments into opportunities for trust and leadership. Drawing on John Gottman's research on relationships and Google's Project Aristotle findings on high-performing teams, they reveal why conflict isn't a problem to eliminate—it's a chance to deepen respect and build long-term influence. You'll learn a step-by-step system to handle everyday workplace and relationship conflicts without burning bridges: lead with value, accept responsibility, show empathy, and present solutions that create buy-in. With stories from clients like Marcus, a consultant at BCG, AJ and Johnny show how mastering conflict resolution can make you the person others turn to when stakes are high. If you've ever felt conflict-averse, this episode gives you practical tools to stay calm, confident, and in control.

Why do brilliant individuals so often create dysfunctional groups? AJ and Johnny sit down with organizational behavior professor Colin Fisher, author of The Collective Edge, to unpack the science of collaboration and why most teams achieve less than the sum of their parts. From the rise of individualism to the misunderstood role of psychological safety, Colin explains why we get group projects wrong—and what it really takes to create synergy. They explore why conformity isn't always bad, how to design groups that avoid wasted meetings, why hierarchy quietly kills dissent, and how healthy conflict (not harmony) fuels breakthroughs. Whether you're running a team, stuck in endless meetings, or dreading your next group project, this episode gives you the science-backed playbook for making groups work. What to Listen For [00:00:20] Why groups fail despite individual brilliance [00:01:07] How a government scandal inspired Colin's research on groupthink [00:02:26] Why some conformity pressure is necessary for groups [00:04:26] The “fundamental attribution error” and our bias toward individual heroes [00:06:30] Why most meetings are badly designed and destroy synergy [00:10:15] Colin's experience as a musician—and what bands teach us about synergy [00:15:23] How hierarchy silences voices and breeds groupthink [00:20:17] The real meaning of psychological safety (hint: it's not kumbaya) [00:24:52] How to bring out contributions from introverts [00:32:41] The warning signs of dysfunctional conformity [00:35:43] Task conflict vs. relationship conflict—and why one helps and the other destroys [00:44:38] Rethinking leadership as a team sport, not an individual role A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.
