Coaching a Podcast Host With 300 Guests Fill His First Room | Ed Brenninger | Ep 1012

From Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong Niiamah Ashong

"The act of invitation is changing the world." - Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Ed Brenninger. Ed has built a forty-year career on introducing people to people. Approaching three hundred unscripted conversations with local leaders nobody has heard of. He wants one percent of the world taking personal initiative in their own communities. He has never once asked any of them to host him. This one goes at the ask, the product underneath the format, and what has to change in the design when the number you picked is bigger than your calendar.

Waiting to be invited is a decision, not a strategy.
You are not selling the format. You are selling people being seen.
If it only works when you are in the room, it is a schedule, not a movement.

Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.
