    294: Pitch Like a Pro: How to Captivate and Convince Any Audience

    Can you win every pitch? No, but The Pitch Guy’s blueprint gets you close.  Danny Fontaine aka The Pitch Guy is the author of “Pitch: How to Captivate and Convince Any Audience On The Planet” and host of the Pitch Masters podcast.  Danny has redefined what it means to pitch an idea, product or business – not as a PowerPoint deck, but as an emotionally charged, strategically choreographed experience that makes people lean in, feel something, and say yes. He shares his TITAN and Storycoaster frameworks that turn your pitch into a moment they’ll never forget. He unpacks how to tap into emotion before logic, why your audience’s trust matters more than your tech specs, and how to build stories and structures that cut through noise and leave a mark. You’ll learn how to create “anomalies” that make people sit up, how to pitch even if you're introverted or nervous, and why the best presenters never rely on slides alone.  Plus, you’ll hear the real story behind the most legendary pitch in British advertising history – and how it still shapes how great ideas are sold today. This isn’t just about pitching better. It’s about learning how to be heard, how to build trust quickly, and how to turn your audience into champions for your message.

They examine where humans still have the edge, and how leaders can stay relevant. Gerrit also reveals how he lost his voice hours before a keynote and created his virtual self overnight to go on stage.  They talk trust, communication, and how to train AI tools to sound like you. Plus, Oliver shares the 10–80–10 rule for using AI to accelerate your work without outsourcing your voice. And both wrestle with a critical question: where does the human edge still matter?

    288: Inside Personalized Persuasion: How AI Shapes the Future of Influence with Dr. Sandra Matz

    What if an algorithm could read your personality better than your best friend?  In this eye-opening episode, Oliver sits down with Dr. Sandra Matz – Columbia Business School professor, computational psychologist, and author of Mindmasters – to explore how our digital footprints reveal far more than we think. Sandra unpacks how AI tools can accurately infer our Big Five personality traits, mental health, and values using everything from Google searches to smartphone activity.  Oliver and Sandra discuss the power – and ethical challenges – of data-driven persuasion, including what brands and political campaigns really know about you, and how personalization is reshaping communication, marketing, and even internal business culture.
