    Stop Hosting Boring Client Events...Do This Instead with Roxanne LeBlanc

    Send us Fan Mail There's a reason some events live rent-free in your memory for years, and it has nothing to do with the budget. Roxanne LeBlanc knows exactly what that reason is. And once she tells you, you'll never look at an event, a networking opportunity, or even a simple conversation the same way again. What she built from a single conversation, one most people would have been too nervous to start turned into something nobody saw coming. The clients that followed. The doors that opened. The opportunities that came from places she never expected. She also calls out the one mistake nearly every company makes when planning an event. It's hiding in plain sight, and it's costing them more than they realize. This episode goes places most business conversations don't. Support the show

    The Connection Question: Why Conversations Still Close Deals in the Age of AI with Dan Stewart

    Send us Fan Mail What if the biggest advantage you have in business right now… is simply being human? In a world racing toward automation, AI, and instant everything, it’s easy to forget something incredibly simple — the deals, the opportunities, and the success we’re all chasing still start the same way they always have. With a conversation. In this episode of Success Through Connections, I sit down with Dan Stewart, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and founder of Happy Grasshopper, to unpack what relationships really look like in today’s AI-driven world, and why the people who master connection will always win. Dan is also the author of The Connection Question, and this conversation dives deep into the philosophy behind it: how the right question can unlock trust, build stronger relationships, and ultimately lead to more meaningful business. But here’s what really stood out to me… Dan makes a powerful case that if we let technology replace the human part of relationships, we risk losing the very thing that makes business work in the first place. And honestly… it’s a wake-up call. In this episode, we also get into:  Why relationships still beat automation every time The real reason conversations lead to closings  The one powerful question that instantly deepens trust  How to communicate in a way that makes people feel truly understood  The five buyer personas that influence how people make decisions  Why most sales conversations fail before they even start  The surprising story behind how Dan built Happy Grasshopper  And the simple mindset shift that can transform the way you build relationships in business There’s also a moment in this conversation where Dan explains something that hit me immediately: Most people send information. But the people who win?  They create conversations. If you’re in sales, leadership, entrepreneurship or any business where relationships matter, this episode will change the way you think about connection. Hit play. Support the show

    The Psychology Behind People Saying “Yes”: What a $1B Negotiator Teaches About Influence with John Palumbo

    Send us Fan Mail What actually happens in the moment someone says “yes”? Is it persuasion? Logic? Negotiation? Or was the decision made long before the words ever left their mouth? In this episode, I sit down with John Palumbo — a man who has negotiated over $1 billion in real estate deals, written 15 books, and spent decades studying the quiet psychology behind how people make big decisions. But here’s the surprising part. John says most people are focused on the wrong thing entirely. In this conversation we unpack: • why the real decision happens long before the deal closes • the critical difference between influence and persuasion • the one word that instantly makes people more believable • and the simple shift that can change how clients see you — and your offer There’s also one powerful idea John shares that completely changed the way I think about communication. It might change the way you approach your next conversation too. Hit play and see if you catch it. Support the show

    The Hidden Belief That’s Keeping You Broke (Even If You Work Hard) with Randy Gage

    Send us Fan Mail I manifested this conversation over 20 years ago. Back when I was driving hours just to sit in rooms that stretched me, Randy Gage was already the guy. The phenomenon. The voice everyone quoted. And now he’s here. In this episode, we go straight into the uncomfortable stuff most people avoid when they talk about success. Randy breaks down the belief that silently keeps people broke. Not because they’re lazy. Not because they lack talent. But because of something running in the background they don’t even realize is there. We talk about why money alone won’t fix your life.  Why hustle culture is lying to you.  Why your next breakthrough will probably feel like a reckless leap.  And why some high achievers build empires… and still feel empty. He also shares the one shift in language that completely reframes how you think about “I can’t afford that.” If you’ve ever felt stuck at a level you know you’re capable of outgrowing, this conversation will challenge you in the best way. And his answer to my signature connection question? Not what you’d expect. Hit play. This one might expose the real reason you haven’t broken through yet. Support the show

    10 Habits I Wish I Learned Sooner as an Entrepreneur

    Send us Fan Mail If you’re an entrepreneur… this might be the episode you didn’t know you needed. Before you say yes to the next opportunity.  Before you commit to another strategy.  Before you convince yourself that working harder will fix it. Pause. Because sometimes the problem isn’t your ambition.  It’s the habits supporting it. In this solo episode, I’m sharing 10 habits every entrepreneur needs — not from theory, not from a book, but from experience. Some of these I learned sooner than others.  Some I had to adjust after realizing growth without structure creates pressure.  And one of them changed how I approach every decision I make in business now. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about avoiding the quiet mistakes that look productive… but slowly drain your time, clarity, and energy. If you’ve ever felt stretched but still driven…  Busy but not fully aligned…  Successful but slightly overwhelmed… You’ll recognize yourself in this conversation. And there’s at least one shift in here that could save you months of unnecessary stress. I won’t spoil it here. But I will say this: What you protect in 2026 will determine what you’re still enjoying by the end of it. Hit play before your next big move. Because connections are the currency.  But the right habits are what keep you in the game. Support the show
