It's Your Time: How to Perform Under Pressure with Rob Brownstein
What can actors teach us about confidence, resilience, rejection, and performing under pressure? In this episode of Super U, Erik Qualman sits down with acclaimed actor, director, educator, and acting coach Rob Brownstein, whose decades-long career spans film, television, theater, and commercials—including appearances in Argo, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Straight Outta Compton, The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Gilmore Girls, and Young Sheldon. Rob shares the lessons he's learned from a career where rejection is inevitable, opportunities can disappear overnight, and you never quite know what will happen when you walk onto a set. He explains why he doesn't view rejection as rejection at all, how he learned to keep showing up when the pressure was overwhelming, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is let go of trying to control the outcome. The conversation goes far beyond Hollywood. Rob and Erik explore how professionals can navigate career uncertainty, adapt when the rules change, create their own opportunities, prepare for high-pressure moments, and turn setbacks into opportunities to get better. You'll also hear Rob's advice for approaching interviews, auditions, Zoom calls, and any situation where you're being evaluated: It's your time—so take control of it. Whether you're an entrepreneur, leader, performer, or simply navigating your next big challenge, this episode is a reminder that you don't always have to wait for the opportunity.

On this episode of Super U, Erik Qualman sits down with retired U.S. Navy Captain, engineer, leadership expert, author, and speaker Dr. Jenn Donahue. During her 27-year military career, Jenn built a bridge across the Euphrates during the Iraq War, commanded an 800-person battalion in Afghanistan, and survived an assassination plot. Yet she reveals that one of her toughest battles wasn't enemy fire—it was self-doubt.

She also explains why everyone needs a "battle buddy," how great leaders see the individual rather than just the organization, and why the best leaders focus on making their people better. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, leadership, self-awareness, trusting your team, and finding the courage to become who you're meant to be.

Learn More About MDEnvoy: From speaking at conferences to publishing research to weighing in on public health conversations, many physicians put in hard work to be visible beyond the doctor's office. Yet most lack the resources to turn that visibility into brand deals, paid speaking engagements, or long-term career positioning outside traditional medicine. Why should doctors, much like athletes or influencers, be thinking about monetizing their professional brand, and what does it look like when they can capitalize on their visibility? Through MDEnvoy, co-founders Leigh Steinberg and Dr. Michael Suk aim to help today's physicians enter into long-lasting and mutually successful relationships with their employers and provide other strategic support, including relocation planning, wealth management, intellectual property protection, branding, and more. https://mdenvoy.com/ Connect on Instagram Connect on LinkedIn Connect on Facebook Connect on X Follow on YouTube Five-time #1 Bestselling Author and Motivational Speaker Erik Qualman has performed in over 60 countries and reached over 60 million people this past decade.

How to Tilt the Room: The Art of Negotiation, Influence & Leverage with Ken Sterling
What if the key to winning a negotiation isn't being the loudest person in the room—but knowing when to listen, when to pause, and how to build trust? On this episode of the Super U Podcast, Erik Qualman sits down with attorney, entrepreneur, talent executive, professor, and veteran dealmaker Ken Sterling, author of Tilt the Room. Ken shares the strategies he's developed across law, business, technology, entertainment, and high-stakes dealmaking to help people influence outcomes without becoming aggressive or burning bridges. Ken breaks down his Tilt the Room framework—trust, influence, leverage, and timing—and explains why successful negotiation is less about overpowering the other side and more about understanding people, preparing for the room, and creating relationships that last beyond a single deal. The conversation explores how to: • Build trust and rapport before you ever need leverage • Read the room and understand the people sitting across the table • Prepare thoroughly while staying flexible in the moment • Use silence and the "power of the pause" to your advantage • Stay calm under pressure instead of resorting to bullying • Avoid overplaying your hand when you have leverage • Give difficult feedback without destroying trust • Stay focused and fully present during high-stakes conversations • Approach negotiation as a long-term relationship rather than a one-time transaction Ken also shares his memorable philosophy: "Never call someone's baby ugly." In negotiation and leadership, ideas can feel deeply personal—and dismissing someone's idea can damage the trust and influence you've worked hard to build. From billion-dollar dealmaking principles to everyday negotiations at work and home, this episode is a masterclass in how to tilt the room without tipping the scales too far. Tune in for practical insights on negotiation, leadership, focus, influence, and the human side of getting to yes.
