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!

"Ninety percent of the task is making sure we're addressing the right problem." — Niiamah Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Brandon Neely for a live coaching conversation on what happens when a leader decides his sharpest capability is the problem.

"Instead of asking how do we get Scott into 10 rooms at once, maybe the better question is how do we make the room Scott is already in 10 times bigger." - Scott EddyJoin Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Scott Eddy. Scott came in wanting more impact without more calendar, and without diluting the thing that made people pay attention in the first place. What surfaced was the belief underneath it, that value drops the second he is not personally in the room.Three things you take away:Attention is not shortening. It is being earned or it is not.You do not need ten versions of you. You need one room ten times bigger.If your brand cannot live on a website, neither can your culture.Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.

Marty has generated over a billion dollars in sales and spent a decade buying and selling businesses. He wrote the bestseller. He built the framework. The message still is not reaching the people who need it.This session goes at the gap between being right and being heard. Why the argument never moves anyone. Why you have to be upstream of the trigger instead of waiting for the call. And what it costs a man who teaches begin with the end in mind to never do it for himself.What you'll take:100% of owners exit. Almost none get past the second one.Get the buy-in before you give the help.A legacy you never made specific is a goal you cannot hit.Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.
