Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Niiamah Ashong
Outlier's Edge Podcast is a live coaching podcast where we come together in conversation to work through the challenges and apply the gifts of being a unique tribe of high-performing, high-impact entrepreneurs, changemakers, and leaders who choose to play a bigger game of impact, influence, and income than we've ever played before. What's an Outlier? An Outlier is a high-performing, high-impact leader who often is: One of the Only: Thrive in systems/environments that were not designed to have someone like them succeed, One of the First: Thrive doing things no one else has ever done or dares to even try One of a Kind: Thrive on their unconventional and independent terms regardless of what others around them are doing THIS IS A PODCAST FOR PEOPLE WHO: - aren't afraid of "playing small", but are scared of "thinking medium". - Are exploring new frontiers in society or their field - Are at the top of their field or business against typical odds and expectations from others like them, - Are taking an independent and unconventional approach outside of the status-quo - know that their mindsets, limiting beliefs, and other internal struggles are actually shared with other leaders who stand for a new vision of the future and change the world for those they lead HOW EACH PODCAST CONVERSATION IS GOING DOWN *Part 1- Your Journey* Features the unique stories of a different trailblazing leader as we explore the *inner* journey they went on as they were creating the outer results we all got to see. *Part 2 - Your Edge* Since this group of people are already out on the edge, traditional information doesn’t always serve them. They need new insights and perspectives, and the best way I know how to do that is through coaching. Each guest will have the option to play on their edge and get coaching around a challenge or a possibility they are working towards. I'm playing on my edge here as well. I have typically reserved coaching for my high-performing, high-impact clients as closed door sessions. It keeps my clients safe, and it keeps me safe. *But safe doesn't change the world.* Join us as we choose to be both safe AND brave by showcasing the impact coaching has to help us achieve belonging, possibility, and inclusion. Time to play at a higher level!

Find the Mission Story That Moves People | Brittni Cosgrove, Bryn Drescher | Ep 980
"The person who beats the drum of authenticity the most is probably the one that's still discovering who their authentic self is." – Brynn DrescherJoin Niiamah (@niiamahashong), Brittni Cosgrove and Bryn Drescher for a live coaching session about the gap between being a great coach and the world knowing it. Two leaders bring the same buried problem: their best work happens in private. The container they've been using is too small for the impact they're built for.What the session covers:- The mission that lands versus the one that doesn't.- The accidental brand you've been building without noticing.- Why privacy costs more than public.- The pragmatic mind that kills your voice on camera.Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.

The Next Level Game: How to Stop Climbing the Wrong Ladder | Ep 981
"You may not be any of the individual ingredients, but you're the pot. If there was no pot, they're just separate ingredients. You can't make a stew, you can't make a gumbo, you can't make anything from it without the pot." Join Niiamah Ashong and guest Palmer as Niiamah introduces the Next Level Game — the difference between getting better at where you are and stepping into where you're meant to be. What unfolds is a man discovering his creative gift isn't writing or directing, it's bringing the pieces together.What Palmer walks away with- A reframe from creator to convener- Fear as compass, not warning- Permission to lead without credentials- The 500x leverage of lifting others- A first action: sign up for the writing class- A practice: contribute in any way, three times- A vote of confidence in his own voice- The pot metaphor as his identity anchorWelcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.

Your Impossible Goal Starts With Identity | Diane Cunningham Ellis, Pauline Victoria, Nate Guadagni
"It's not about the impossible goal. It's about the impossible becoming, like who am I going to become and allow myself to become, to step into it fully. Because I don't need permission from anybody else other than myself." — PaulineJoin Niiamah (@niiamahashong) with guests, Diane Cunningham Ellis, Pauline Victoria and Nate Guadagni for the return of live group coaching on Shape Your World Live.

A Masterclass in Receiving Appreciation | Stacy Louise Christopher | Ep 975
"It's almost like there's a mirror in front of me, and the mirror was cracked or dirty or smudged. And then you just came in and you're like, hey Niiamah, you do know you're looking at a dirty mirror, right? Let me just clean that off."Join Niiamah Ashong and guest Stacy Louise Christopher in this throwback conversation as she walks him through ten acknowledgments live on camera, naming every dodge as it happens. Most exceptional leaders are catastrophic at receiving acknowledgment; they deflect, minimize, joke past it. This is 48 minutes of Niiamah being walked through it slowly, naming every dodge as it happens. By the end of it he walksaway with: - A cleaner mirror - Permission to own his actual lever - Proof that his way is working - A felt experience of being seen, not saved - A blueprint for receiving as fuel, not threat - A return to center - The Dolly Parton line as a north starWelcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.

You Got Everything You Wanted Now What | Vicky Vaswani | Ep 974
"Success is going to sleep every single night with my heart, mind, body, and soul at peace with one another." — Vicky VaswaniJoin Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Vicky Vaswani for a throwback conversation about what happens when you get everything right and still feel flat. Vicky tracks his life across five areas every month, has a personal definition of success built around heart, mind, body, and soul at peace, and is working toward living to 100. He is extraordinary at achieving what he sets out to achieve. And the question this episode quietly asks: when you've engineered every outcome, where have you left room for the things that genuinely surprise you? Featuring the story of a woman who executed everything perfectly and said, "I feel pretty good," and why that broke Niiamah's heart.Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.

You Won't Feel Enough Until You Begin | Ep 973
"It's so much easier, and people actually want to help people who don't know things." — Justin JobityJoin Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Justin Jobity, for a throwback live coaching conversation about what it takes to start over in a completely new field with zero qualifications. Justin spent a decade in education technology, building someone else's startup from two guys with an idea into a sold company. When the exit came, so did the question he had been avoiding: what do I actually want? In this session, Justin and Niiamah unpack how convenient jobs create quicksand, why being the dumbest person in the room is a superpower, and why the mask you hide behind might be the most honest version of yourself.Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.

Every Time You Were Just YOU, It Worked | Ep 972
"I'm not good at helping people reduce who they are in order to be accepted by the majority. I'm great at taking someone from outsider to outlier." — NiiamahJoin Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Jaspreet Dua for a throwback live coaching conversation that reframes how outliers find their next opportunity. JD has built his entire career through chance encounters: walking into a Bose recruitment fair in a golf t-shirt, polo matches, a random tweet. He calls it luck. Niiamah calls it something else entirely. In this session, JD asks how to sell himself better to the conventional market. Niiamah's answer will reset how you think about your career: you have never sold yourself, every time you didn't something extraordinary happened, and trying to get better at the wrong game will only make things worse. If you're the most interesting person in the room, you're in the wrong room.Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.

What Drives You When There's No One to Prove Wrong | Ep 971
"The hard thing is not making it happen. The hard thing is making the decision." — Dom MossJoin Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Dom, for a throwback live coaching session recorded during the early days of COVID-19 in New York City. Dom has moved from France to London to Barcelona to Manila to Bali to Hong Kong to New York, gotten a green card from scratch, and made every impossible thing happen. But the book she is writing, the one everyone around her believes in, is not moving. In this session, Niiamah finds out why: the medium is not the book. She is. And the message she needs to hear is not "shine." It is "you shine." Not a command. A fact.Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.
