Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong

"If we're in a foxhole together, you have my right side. I never ever ever have to worry about my right side." — Len

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Len May for a live coaching session. Len built a company to find root cause. Genetics, biomarkers, real prevention instead of another pill. Then he spent years treating a symptom inside his own leadership team. This session covers what happens when equity fails to produce ownership. What a partner actually is, as opposed to a person you like. And why the same conversation, repeated for years, is never a communication problem.

Three things leaders take from this one:

Equity does not buy ownership behavior. If you keep re-incentivizing, the incentive was never the issue.
If you have to check your right side, you do not have a partner.
The conversation you keep having is the diagnosis.

Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.

"It's not that you're perfect 100% of the time. It's that when you step out of integrity with yourself, and you're aware of it, you go in and you clean it up." — Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Greg Viti for a live coaching conversation. Greg can create demand anywhere. He walks into a hardware store and leaves with business. He has a seventy-unit building in play, and family money is circling a high-rise. He is also still writing his own contracts. This session goes after the reason the cheap work never leaves a leader's desk. It is not time. It is not the absence of good people. It is comfort.

What you will take from it:

Why you keep the work you are best at, and why that is the exact work that has to go
The difference between operations and administration, and why naming the role wrong installs your own ceiling
Your constraint is not opportunity. It is how much can move through you.

"Ask for what you want, not what you think you can get." - Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and J Mase III. J Mase is a poet, filmmaker, and immersive world designer building a ten-year project. The music is written. The workshop is staged. The money is not there. This session gets into what happens when a leader keeps applying for funding instead of asking for it, and what it costs to size your vision to what someone else can already picture.

What you take away:

Why the size of your ask gets decided before you open your mouth
How to build the world before the money arrives
What one project big enough to hold all of you does that five good ones never will

"You have the one thing that AI will never have. You're actually human." - Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Elaine for a live coaching session. Elaine has spent decades helping caregivers carry what most people never see. Then the funding disappeared and the business went with it. This session is about what happens next.

What you'll take away:

Three customers is the same as zero. Name the one who pays.
The care that stops at your customer never reaches the person writing the check.
Fun is not a reward for later. It is the signal telling you where your leverage already is.

"I think you're playing for the middle of the road right now, and you're getting middle of the road results." - Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and David Reich for a live coaching session on the gap between being good in the room and getting into the room. David has performed magic since he was twelve, taught at Harvard and MIT, and has a TED talk. He still cannot bring himself to ask for a real fee.

What you take away:

Every conversation you enter as the seller is a request. The reversal is one sentence long.
Hedging your bets is how you guarantee the middle of the road, in pricing and everywhere else.
Confidence you only feel after the sale is confidence that never gets you hired.

"Honor every instance of you, rather than just the instance that's living right now." — Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Michelle Masters, author of Wired for Money (wiredformoney.com) and the teacher behind wiredformagic.com. This one goes at the wiring underneath money, worth, and identity. Beliefs do not live in the conscious mind, which is why conscious effort never reaches them. Michelle has been changing them at the root since 1994.

Then the conversation turns on her. What happens to a leader who has stayed quiet for thirty years right as the work demands she be seen.

Three things you leave with:

Affirmations stack on top of the old loop. They never replace it.
You are not a project. Box ticked. The only live question is what you want.
The parts you leave outside the room are what make the work lonely.

"I've been so obsessed with outcomes and achievements and performance that it gets in the way of actually really listening to what's wanting to emerge." — Mike Robbins

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Mike Robbins for a live coaching session. Mike has spent 26 years at the top of his field. Five books. Stages at Google, Wells Fargo, Microsoft. Drafted by the Yankees out of high school and by the Royals out of Stanford. Something else has been trying to come out of him for two years. He has been clearing space for it since last fall and has planted nothing. This session goes after why.

What you get:

Why getting good at something quietly removes your permission to begin anything else
The reason "new" is the word keeping you at zero, and what replaces it
How to tell which season you are actually in, so you stop doing spring work in winter

"None of us were born in business, we're born to live." - John Nieuwenburg

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and John Nieuwenburg. John is seventy-two. He keeps twenty-five to thirty clients, works three and a half days a week, and turns the rest away. He tripled the business after 2018 and then chose to stop.

This session sits on the order of operations most leaders run backwards. Decide the life. Work out what would have to be true about the business for that life to exist. Build only that. It also names what stops leaders from doing it, and it is not the plan.

Three things you take with you:

Visions are not authored. They arrive, and curiosity is what keeps you in the room when one does.
The owner is the ceiling. All business coaching is personal coaching in disguise.
Most leaders quit at six months because the root canal is fixed and a toothache is survivable.

"This discomfort is not a bad thing, it just is." — Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Shirley Billigmeier for a live Outlier's Edge conversation about what your impulses are actually telling you. Most leaders treat discomfort as a state to end. Shirley makes the case that it's a message with content in it, and that the reason you never hear it is that your fix works too well. She's been on this since the early 70s, roughly two decades before medicine named the gut brain, after a PhD program refused to let her cross lanes, and she went out alone anyway.

Three things you'll take away:

The urge to act is the flashing light. The information is underneath it.
Encouragement does nothing under pressure. Inventory what's actually true instead.
The signal you think you lost is unlistened to, not gone.

"Once we share it, it loses its power." Cathy Nesbitt

Cathy has built a global movement and confirmed with the founder of Laughter Yoga that nobody on earth is doing the thing she believes she was made for. She still has not started it. Six years. This session goes after why.

What you get:

▸ Why the obstacle a leader names out loud is almost never the real one

▸ What it costs to put the true answer on the form instead of the acceptable one

▸ How confirmed proof of a wide open space can sit untouched for years

"It's not about doing 10 times more, it's just like receiving 10 times more." — Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Wayne Veldsman for a live coaching conversation about the cost of being the hardest worker in the room. Wayne builds legacy for a living. He runs marketing for nonprofits and coaches the leaders inside them. A client recently told him he works harder than anyone she knows. He took it as a compliment for about two days. This session sits inside what that praise actually measures, what over-delivery costs when nothing captures it, and what a goal has to look like before effort stops working as a strategy.

Three things you leave with:

Effort is not evidence. Being the hardest worker proves nothing moved.
10x and 10% are the same question asked from opposite ends.
Doing more for free is a business model, not generosity.

"I really don't want everybody, I want the right people." — Terri Levine

This one is about what happens when a leader stops marketing and starts choosing. Curation over reach. Saying out loud what you are great at. Building the business around life instead of the other way around.

Three things you leave with:

Why a bigger list makes a room harder to fill, not easier
What it actually costs to claim you are the best at something
How to design a room by what you leave out of it

"Can we get it done without us having to be there?" — Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Stephanie Garibaldi for a live coaching conversation where she came in asking how to get storytelling into every public high school in the country. The conversation never gets there. That is the point.

What it covers. The gap between the size of your mission and the size of the machine carrying it. Why the work you are best at ends up last in line.

Three things you leave with:

▪ The ambition is not the problem. The capacity is.

▪ If you cannot say what you do, nobody can take it off you.

▪ Ten percent of the effort forces answers that more effort never finds.

"I know what your website says. I know what your bio says. But who do you say you are, and do I believe you?" — Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and R. Karl Hebenstreit for a live coaching session on what happens when a leader has built the body of work but has not yet claimed it out loud.

Karl came in wanting bigger stages. What surfaced was ownership. Four books, a TEDx talk, twenty years inside global organizations, and the sentence still sitting underneath all of it was "I'm not experienced enough."

This one goes at the gap between what you have already built and what you are willing to say is yours.

Inside:

Being called the thing is not the same as owning it
More reach will not fix a message you have not claimed
The leverage is with the leaders already awake, not the ones you are trying to convince

"Model the future now." Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Dr. Anthony Fleg for a live coaching conversation about what it costs to stay behind your own work.

Anthony practices medicine backwards from the entire system. Where medicine asks what is wrong with you, he asks what is right. He built a nonprofit that ran for twenty years and kept his name off all of it. Then he names the thing he has never said out loud to anyone.

What you get:

Why every deficit is a strength in disguise, and what that changes in a room
The difference between a thin goal and a thick goal, and why the thick one is worth failing at

"What if you're already ready." — Niiamah

Kelsey never set out to run an opera company. She came up through the chorus, auditioned pregnant, said yes every time she was asked, and rose. Now she wants to make something nobody will ask her for. This conversation is about the gap between the leader everyone recruits and the artist waiting for permission to start her own work.

What you'll take away:

Why the question of "enough experience" is the wrong question for a leader who has never qualified in advance
How the constraints you carry from your old game quietly rewrite the rules of your new one

This session explores rainforest conservation, the challenge of saving forests faster, and why funding alone may not solve the problem. Meg and Niiamah explore succession, systematizing outreach, building partnerships, and creating experiences that bring influential people into the treetops and into the mission.

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and two exceptional leaders, Stacey and Kai, for a throwback live coaching session that goes straight at the judgment running underneath the next level. This episode unpacks what actually keeps leaders stuck at the door of their next chapter. Not the strategy. The judgment. The pleasing. The self-abandonment that masquerades as humility, service, and "being a good person."

What you will take away:

Why self-judgment is the real ceiling on your next level, not skill or strategy

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Alexis Arden for a throwback live coaching session that exposes a pattern most leaders never name out loud. Alexis has a global movement she can see in full detail. She also cannot imagine starting it. Underneath that contradiction lives a vow she made as a child, never to let career come before family. Watching A-list clients pay that exact price for a decade only welded the rule deeper. Now her own vision is the thing the rule is firing against.

This conversation unpacks why the vision itself is the problem, not her courage.

What you'll take away:

Why the cost you fear most is usually a rule written by a younger version of you
How to spot the life preserver you have already outgrown
Why a vision that asks you to abandon your top value is not the vision yet

Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.

"You living your life is the solution." — Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Holly for a throwback live coaching session that takes apart the most common trap exceptional leaders fall into: building a life plan that requires someone else's permission to activate.

This session goes deep on:

The borrowed timeline. What happens when your next move is locked behind another person's yes.
The career placeholder. Why the version of your work you describe in public is often a cover for the one you haven't given yourself permission to name.
The premium hidden inside your limits. How scarcity of time, energy, and access becomes the reason you charge more, not the reason you charge less.

"If you want to hold on to your pride and ego, it ain't worth a damn. Go out and get what you want. I don't care. You beg. I don't care." — Theron

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Theron Washington for a Throwback live coaching session that goes somewhere most coaching conversations never go. Theron came in, calling himself a Mind Scrambler. He left with his own mind scrambled.

This session moves through the architecture of an underdog's life: bankruptcy, welfare, the sheriff at the door, $12 to his name, and the day everything shifted. Underneath the story is a deeper pattern about how leaders use fear, doubt, and opposition as fuel and what happens when that engine stops working.

What you'll take away:

Why "be more you" is freedom and "be you" is a trap
The difference between fighting against your past and fighting for your future
How to upgrade your doubts so they pull you forward instead of holding you back

If you are a leader who knows you carry something different, this is your room.

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and April Cunningham for a throwback live coaching session about what happens when the compass you have been using to find your edge stops pointing anywhere new. April left an 18-year tech career, built two businesses, went live online, and started dating again after divorce. She came in asking: what's left to conquer?

What surfaced was bigger than the next mountain.

In this session:

Why fear stops being a useful compass once you have mastered it
The hidden cost of protecting other people from your mess
Where the next edge actually lives when the visible ones are gone

If you are a leader who has already done the scary, visible things and you are wondering what is next, this one is for you.

"The person who beats the drum of authenticity the most is probably the one that's still discovering who their authentic self is." – Brynn Drescher

Join 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.

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Zach Klein [HANDLE NEEDED] [LINK NEEDED] for a live coaching session on Shape Your World Live. Zach came in messy. Mid-transition, no polished package, no clear next move. What surfaced underneath was bigger than the career question. It was the pattern most high-achieving leaders carry but never name: worth fused to doing. This session goes into the winter season of the creative process, why deconstruction is the work, and what it takes to free a voice that's already inside you.

What you'll take away:

→ Why messiness is not the problem to solve before showing up

→ The hidden cost of over-coupling your worth to your achievements

→ The difference between finding your voice and freeing it

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Karen Grant for a Throwback Live coaching session that lands the breakthrough in under ten minutes. Karen came in hunting for what makes her different from the thousands of other transformational coaches in the world. What she walked out with was the answer she already carried. This session is for any leader who keeps searching outside themselves for the language, the framework, or the proof that they are the one.

What you'll take away:

▸ Why talking around your distinction is the real thing keeping you stuck

▸ The difference between feeling your power and knowing it at a cellular level

▸ What changes the moment you stop trying to sound different and start being it

"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 anchor

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and two leaders, Claire and Amici, for this Livethrowback coaching session that refuses to stay clean. This one is about the price of playing at your next level. Not the strategy. The capacity. What it costs to actually be with the thing that breaks your heart instead of organizing your business around avoiding it. What your frustration with another leader is really telling you about the move you have not made yet. Why integration beats opposition when you want to change a system from the inside.

Three takeaways:

Your capacity, not your capability, is the real ceiling
Frustration in the room is a mirror, not a problem to manage
The heartbreak is the fuel, not the obstacle

"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." — Pauline

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) with guests, Diane Cunningham Ellis, Pauline Victoria and Nate Guadagni for the return of live group coaching on Shape Your World Live. Three outliers. Three real edges. One hour of transformation in real time.

"The more I'm actively trying to be like, what's the authentic thing to do here? The less authentic it actually comes across." — Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong), Angelique, and Elisa for a Live throwback session on the move most leaders miss. This session goes deep on the architecture of coming from leadership instead of climbing toward it. The hidden pattern underneath the steps you think you have to take. Why trust is the entry point, not the reward. And why the leaders building the next era of humanity stop waiting for permission to lead, connect, and be seen.

Three things you'll take away:

Why the gap between where you are and where you want to lead is closed by a decision, not a title
The trust tank that keeps most leaders playing small in rooms they should own
The friendship move that unlocks more power than most coaching containers ever will

"Jump in. Just contribute in any way and every way and just put yourself there because you will contribute." - Palmer

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Palmer for a live throwback coaching session that breaks open one of the traps high-achievers fall into: trying to be the wrong kind of creator. Palmer has built conventional success in sales. He achieves. He delivers. And he's carried a creative pull for over a decade that he keeps not moving on. This session names why.

What this conversation covers:

The difference between being an ingredient and being the pot
Why fear is a compass, not a stop sign, for leaders off the beaten path
How conventional success caps you at 2.5x when real leverage is 500x

"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 star

"It's so much easier, and people actually want to help people who don't know things." — Justin Jobity

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?

"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." — Niiamah

Join 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.

"The hard thing is not making it happen. The hard thing is making the decision." — Dom Moss

Join 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.

"I was meant to burn my candle out so that other people could have what they needed." — Tony Martinetti

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Tony for a throwback live coaching session that goes to the root of why high achievers burn out. Tony spent 20 years building a successful career in biotech while quietly suffering inside, eventually hitting the bottom and climbing out. Now he coaches tech leaders through burnout and fulfillment. In this session, Niiamah uncovers the belief Tony had never named out loud: he thought he was put on earth to suffer so others could have what they wanted. That belief drove everything, including the depression, the burnout, and the relentless action that kept him ahead of the darkness. If you have ever given everything to others while quietly leaving nothing for yourself, this episode is for you.

"The gift that your people are looking for is you." — Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Matt for a live throwback soul-to-soul coaching session that goes to unexpected places. Matt's mantra as a goalkeeper was "you can't hurt me." He built an armor of mental endurance that carried him through Ironman races, executive life, divorce, and grief. Now he's a coach trying to give the world his gift and realizing the harder he tries, the less he gives. In this session, Niiamah catches him in the act: upgrading from "impressing people with achievement" to "impressing people with vulnerability" is still impressing. The real move is to impress yourself. And then live from the space after the mountain, where nothing is left to prove, and play is all that remains.

"If you want to hold on to your pride and ego, it ain't worth a damn. Go out and get what you want." — Theran Washington

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Theran "King T." Washington — entrepreneur, former Salsa Aerobics pioneer, and self-described Mind Scrambler — for a throwback live coaching session that goes deep fast. Theron built a salsa empire across 15 LA fitness clubs (with Sugar Ray Leonard in the front row), not from vision, but from wanting to escape competition and haters. Now he's fighting for his biggest mission yet: youth education, women in power, and dignity for the incarcerated. In this episode, Niiamah reframes the one thing holding Theron back, and it isn't doubt. It's the size of his doubts. If you've ever used doubt as a reason to wait, this is your episode.

"Before you were flying. Now you're walking. They're trying to teach you this great thing called running — and you were flying." — Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Kimberly, ex-professional dancer, Nike athlete, and founder of Land the Brand, for a throwback live coaching session that cuts straight to the core. Kimberly walked away from a biomedical degree, refused Nike's audition brief, and got chosen by the highest-grossing tour choreographer in history all while having zero attachment to the outcome. Now she's frustrated, working harder than ever, and producing less than she knows she's capable of. In this session, Niiamah diagnoses the real problem: she stopped flying and started running on someone else's roadmap. If you've ever felt like you're grinding harder for results that should come naturally, this episode will remind you what game you were always meant to play.

"I'm tired of hiding. If I can become an expert in being messy, I think we're all going to benefit from that." — Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Susana Denia a leadership coach who traded financial markets in London for coaching executives in Madrid, and discovered her biggest breakthrough came not from a coach or a therapist, but from a 2-minute children's video about sadness. In this live Shape Your World session, Niiamah coaches Susana through the real thing blocking her next calling: the expert identity. Together they uncover why simplicity sits above complexity, not below it, and why becoming an explorer is the move that changes everything. If you have ever felt like you should have it all figured out by now, this episode will set you free.

"I told my own soul to shut up and go sit in the corner and basically I denied myself, my own presence." — Robin

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Robin Eaton, former federal law enforcement officer turned shaman, spiritual teacher, and guide, for a throwback conversation that goes straight to the root. Robin spent 20 years supervising people coming out of prison, silencing her own gifts to survive a system that had no room for them. What she found on the other side: the voice you shut down to be acceptable is the same one that holds your power. This episode covers the cost of disconnection, the rage that lives just underneath the surface, and what it actually means to sing your song, whether anyone is listening or not. If you've been waiting for the right moment, the right audience, or the right version of yourself, this conversation will challenge you to stop waiting.

"I've been thinking of the limitation as a restriction rather than a gift." – Gina

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Gina, a regional sales manager overseeing $100M in revenue, as she works through a live coaching session on one of the most common traps high-performing leaders fall into: building a plan so big it never starts.

Gina came in wanting to design a group coaching program. What emerged was something simpler and far more powerful, that the capacity ceiling she thought was holding her back is actually the thing that makes her offer rare, urgent, and worth showing up for.

If you're a leader trying to create more impact with less margin, this episode is for you.

"I trust myself and I don't trust myself; complicitly. These two are partners in crime keeping you exactly where you are." – Niiamah Ashong

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and April Cunningham for a live coaching conversation that goes somewhere neither of them planned. April came in talking about dating. What surfaced was a paradox she had never named: she wants adventure, free fall, and full uncertainty in love and that desire is exactly what makes her shut down. Niiamah coaches her through the trap in real time, shares his own version of the same paradox, and leaves her with a question more powerful than any answer. This is what it looks like when a leader stops performing and starts telling the truth.

"We edit our story before it even has a chance to get out in the world — we preempt it by what we think other people are going to say about it." – Shelley Paxton

She had the title, the brand, the world travel. And she was slowly dying inside. This episode isn't about burnout. It's about what happens when the productivity mindset that built your career becomes the exact thing blocking your calling and what it actually takes to surrender to your soul's process. They go deep on writing unapologetically, the fear underneath every movement, and what it means to live your legacy instead of waiting to leave one.

Kristen has had four careers, seven roles, and one relentless skill: figuring it out. In this conversation, Niiamah helps her see that the drift-and-reset cycle she calls failure is actually the most advanced navigation tool a trailblazer has, and that she's already living the life she's still trying to build.

"I want to work with finishers. I want to help people finish. I think I'm called to work with the finishers." — Hayden Lee

In this episode, Hayden unpacks the "low hanging fruit" trap, the belief that serving the people already in front of you is somehow beneath your mission, and discovers live in conversation the distinction that reframes everything: he's not built to work with starters. He's built to work with finishers. If you're a leader, coach, or world-changer asking whether you're playing the right game, this one will hit.

"What needs to die is a connection, an intertwining — between the actions that I do in the world, my accomplishments, my achievements, and my sense of worth or value. Those two things feel over-coupled." – Zach Kleyn

Zach is a coach, artist, and creative consultant who helps people freely express their unique voice. But in this raw, unscripted conversation, he's the one in the chair, navigating a season of uncertainty, deconstruction, and a profound realization: his ambition has been wired to a childhood need for love.

What unfolds is one of the most honest episodes of the show. No polish. No performance. Just two leaders in the mess together and a breakthrough that changes everything.

"There are gifts in failure, vulnerability, and shame. For us to grow, for us to connect with a part of ourselves that we've shut down for means of survival." – Diana

Diana opens the conversation by doing what most leaders won't — owning the full gift of her hardest story, including 20 years of undiagnosed PTSD and the courage it took to find the transformation inside it. Danby confronts a quieter truth: a lifetime of saying "sure" to great opportunities and what it costs to never have said a full yes.

Niiamah introduces the Too Much Game, a real framework for leaders who've been told they're a lot, and are finally ready to collect points for it.

"I always met and exceeded my number. It was never hard. I felt like this is the easiest job in the world. And I always felt a little bit of guilt around it — and it wasn't until now that I realized it was just easy for me because that's how I wanted it to be." – Christine Volden

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and sales coach Christine Volden for a throwback conversation that challenges everything you've been told about hard work and success.

Christine spent 15 years in corporate sales, closing over $100 million, and spent most of it feeling guilty because it came too easily.

"Specialization is for insects. You can be an investment banker and an actor. A Navy SEAL and an author. A film director and a football coach. Don't buy into the myth that you have to over-specialize." – Abhi Prakash

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and three outliers who are building worlds from scratch, Unni Rav, Shawn Flynn and Abhi Prakash. In this episode, they go all the way in on the thing nobody talks about enough: what it actually takes to keep growing when the problems get bigger, the stakes get higher, and you're doing something most people around you have never done before. From M&A deals that carry the weight of 200 families, to standing in front of a camera for the second time ever, to coaching JV basketball while building AI companies. This one hits different.

"You can't control outcomes. You can control the way you show up, the energy, the excitement, the conviction. That's 100% yours." - Robin Daniels

"An empty restaurant. The product looks good, the menu looks good — but no one else is there. It can almost affect your experience with the product." – Jason Fishman

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and investor marketing expert Jason Fishman as they break down the uncomfortable truth most founders never want to hear: having the best product is not enough. Jason, who has helped over 900 deals collectively raise hundreds of millions in capital, reveals why the crowd effect, social proof, and third-party validation will out-perform a great idea every single time. They unpack the empty restaurant phenomenon, the test-optimize-scale framework, and what it actually takes to lean into growth when the data says go. If you've ever asked yourself "is this working enough to go all in?" this conversation was made for you.

"I could stay in the pit. I could be the victim. Or I could fight, kick, scream, and claw my way out. Which is what it takes." — Kim Harms

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Dr. Kim Harms: dentist, author, speaker, death doula, and grief counselor, for an unflinching conversation about what it really takes to rebuild your life after catastrophic loss.

Kim lost her son, her husband, her mother, and her 30-year dental career in a devastating sequence of events. She didn't just survive, she reinvented herself, wrote six books, built 70 libraries in Rwanda, coaches widows worldwide, and is still charging forward at 70.

This conversation is about resilience that's more than a buzzword. It's about choosing to fight the pit. Choosing joy as a goal. And finding your next mission when your old identity is gone.

Scott's path went from almost shutting the door on a Marine Corps recruiter, to becoming a cryptologist, to selling life insurance (hating every second of it), to leading global talent for a Fortune 500 company, and now building a startup designed to put Indeed out of business.

"When you're vulnerable, you're so much more approachable. It lowers the barriers for other people. They allow their walls to fall down." — Michelle Molitor

In this episode they get real about loneliness in business, the danger of "like-me bias," the difference between being honest and being vulnerable, and why the most powerful thing an outlier can do is choose the right circle.

These four dig into what it actually costs to take a stand for your clients, your mission, and yourself. From Sean's revelation that "even if" beats "what if" every time, to Kizma's jaw-dropping truth that 1% growth at your current level equals 10x the impact of earlier gains, to Niiamah's live on-air reckoning with whether he's been hiding behind conversations instead of building a community, this episode will have you questioning what you've been holding onto, and what you need to finally let go.

Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.

I am often told it's not your job/responsibility to educate white people on racism or being black.

Whose job is it then? Now I get it, clearly, it's the job of the person asking. But my thing is that I don't have 3+ years for you to do all the research needed to be able to feel like you can contribute to the system of oppression I experience on a regular basis. I need you in the game like 3+ years ago.

So, I post this in the exploration of a better solution or even more exciting, a new possibility on how to address that.

"We often compare how WE FEEL on the INSIDE with how OTHERS LOOK on the OUTSIDE." - Rich Litvin

Are you holding yourself back because:

you feel doubt while others look confident?
you feel unsure while others look like they have clarity?
you feel afraid of failing while others look always succeed?

I know these specific comparisons because they are persistent inner thoughts of mine.

But I know I'm not alone with these thoughts . And you're not alone either.

That's why we've revamped Outlier to Trailblazer coaching conversations to explore the "inner journey" of becoming a more impactful and influencial entrepreneur, thought-leader, coach, change-maker, author, business leader, and trailblazer.

Today, Trailblazer Erin Baker shares her inner journey to blazing her own unique trail while navigating failure, career changes, committment, and the journey to becoming a leader and coach to social impact entrepreneurs.

At your current level growth, how are you choosing to play the game? What would it look like if you chose to live in your gifts by taking responsibility instead of becoming a victim of circumstance?

Inclusion is a term that has come up on many occasions recently and with good reason. To many, inclusion means tolerance. What if, however, we elevated the conversation in a meaningful way?

There is this perception out in the world that hustle is a hard grind, and maybe that’s what it is. As Pioneers, Outliers and Mavericks, we have to deal with fulfilling this expectation but also with carving out paths less travelled. This can get exhausting and the zeal you started your journey with can slowly fade.

In this discussion with a fellow Pioneer, Dr. Sarah Coxin, an experienced ex-archaeologist, who left that highly acclaimed profession to follow her desires gives her definition of the word hustle and brings insight to the pressure that comes with the term. Society has made it seem like if you aren’t getting results, you aren’t focused enough, and yet she wants to feel to achieve a flow which makes everything happen in a seamless motion.

"I feel like this is the first time I have been truly seen..."

I spent the last week in London at the Youpreneur Summit.

What will stay with me always are the 5 people who shared with me that they felt fully seen as a result of a conversation with me.

These were 5 people who in a lot of visible ways have achieved more success than me and more impact than me. AND through it all, felt more like my peers than most other people I encountered.

They were each a more powerful leader than others tend to see. They had created success in unconventional ways and were at the precipice of something beyond that.

They didn’t know it yet, but it was shining out of them as brightly as a candle in a dark room.

Their work was not done - it is time from them to take their success and start creating unconventional impact.

But it’s not something most of us choose see - in ourselves and in others.

We often focus on the outer journey of being visible (likes, views, hearts, mentions, audience size, downloads, books sold, etc.)

As movement leaders, we are required to go beyond the surface of what looks good to make our inner journey visible as well.

You can shift the entire trajectory of someone’s life by giving them the gift of being seen, heard, and understood.

This used to be a "fru-fru" kind of statement to me until the people I worked with consistently started their own movements, leveled up their impact, and started to change their world during the time we worked together.

I’ll say it so you don’t have to:

"You are here to change the world in a way that only you can. "

If you are ready to fully step into being a powerful and authentic leader who ushers us into a new and brighter future, we should talk.

I am curating a special group experience for 10 Trailblazers who, like you, know they can take their impact to the next level and want a guide and companions as they navigate the uncharted territories of this next frontier.

You cannot simply buy your way into this group and program. I’m not here to convince you to join it either. You’ll already know it’s for you if you have felt the calling to something greater.

I acknowledge you for stepping into this level of leadership and impact.

You are here to change the world. We’re here to help you become the leader who does.

If now is the time for you or someone you know to answer or figure out your purpose and your soul’s calling to elevate the future of your world, leave a comment/send a message and I will invite you to explore whether we will be the tribe that helps you as you fulfill your purpose.

How to give the worst presentation of your life!

(it’s easier than you think!!)

I’m currently enrolling for 2 programs that start in January 2020 for which I’m incredibly proud and excited.

I want to give you an opportunity to join us and immerse yourself in the unique communities of practice we create so you can experience and bring all of you to your life, work, and impact.

1) Trailblazer Oasis

This program is for people who know that they are unique and different from other people AND want to leverage more of who they are to lead themselves and others to the next level of impact.

A Trailblazer is someone who is willing to go through the risky, uncertain, and uncharted wilderness in order to make the path easier for others in future.

The Oasis is your haven from it all to rejuvenate and recalibrate amongst a group of peers who challenge, champion, and change with you along your journey.

You have a purpose, a mission, a message, and a vision of a future that is distrinct from the past. You aren’t interested in simply improving the status quo - you’re looking to transform the status quo towards a possibility few even realize.

You have already been playing a "big game" in the eyes of other people in terms of impact, influence, and income, but you know that there is the next league you want to play at (and are having trouble consistently showing up that way).

The Trailblazer Oasis is a Community of Practice specifically designed to help you authentically and powerfully lead others to a higher level of impact by up-leveling yourself in ways that are in integrity with you, your values, and your unique talents.

We address the three most common challenges we find holding Trailblazers back - being misunderstood, being misaligned, and being mistaken that they are alone and need to do it a certain way to be successful.

By the end of this 9 month Community of Practice, you’ll have transformed in several areas including:

Your Vision
Your Strategy
Your Mindset
Your Unique Talents
Your Energy
Your Tribe
Your Leadership
Your Next Level
Your Impact
Your Visibility
Your Support
Your Story
Your Platform
Your Message
Your Profit

Individual clients who have gone through their personal Trailblazer Oasis program have seen results including:

Sharing their message to a 500-person audience within 1 mknth
Being featured on a TV show (and now...)
Hosting their own TV show
Launching their first group program/course
Posting their first Live videos
Enrolled high-level corporate clients
Organizing their first online communities
Speaking on panels and podcasts
and much more

While these results are great, what makes this program unique is that each person is ACTIVELY CREATING THEIR VERSION OF THE FUTURE TODAY!

They aren’t waiting to get their message out. They aren’t held back by the sheer size of their vision. And they aren’t wasting energy creating things that aren’t aligned with their vision because of someone else’s system.

Instead They are creating the impact they want to see in larger waves in the future with the world they are in and are getting opportunities to take it to higher levels and more people at an Exponential rate.

WARNING: If you choose to join us, please be aware that some goals might come faster than you had expected. And others may not come at all, in service of something more aligned with what you truly want to create.

I am an expert at supporting people in creating community, impact, and transformation through their unique personality.

The Trailblazer Oasis is limited to 10 Trailblazers and is starting in January 2020. This is designed as a group of peers, so you can join by invitation, referral, or application only

If you are ready to take your unique impact to the next level, then we should talk. Send me a message and we can explore from there.

2) Unapologetically You

This program is all about practicing how you can Be More You for you.

One week into reclaiming and owning exactly who I am (and have always been)

View Details

Welcome to "Too much" May!

Yesterday at a dinner with my wife and two of my best friends in Singapore, I got triggered and triggered hard.

I found myself feeling misunderstood, angry, and confused in the moment right in the middle of an otherwise amazing dinner.

I am grateful to have done enough work to recognize being in the triggered state, but I was completely in its grasp as I fought to be understood and shut down conversations in order to try and protect myself from further pain.

What caused this?

Someone at the table said something along the lines of “BUT Nemo that’s YOUR style. You’re A LOT!”.

The capitalization is how I heard it in my head.

And how that translated to me was that I was being dismissed, shunned, and my accomplishments minimized because of my ability to do and be different.

It turns out after talking through the incident further, it wasn’t at all the intention (no capital letters involved).

Rather than trying to diminish me, the comment was meant to raise me up and shine a light on some of the awesomeness that was needed to show up in my own style.

I just couldn’t hear it. It simply didn’t compute. There was just one way for that statement to be interpreted in my mind at the time.

And it was to my own detriment.

When I woke up this morning, I no longer felt misunderstood, angry, or confused.

Instead, I felt embarrassed.

Embarrassed for my behavior. Embarrassed for my wife for having been a witness and at times a target on it.
Embarrassed as a leader of Outliers, Pioneers, and Mavericks for not having the presence of mind and emotional capacity to not get triggered.

I have an amazing wife though and through an early morning reflection with her, I felt a new emotion: happiness.

Happiness because yesterday had exposed a blind spot that I was unaware of: I have a low capacity for receiving and seeing myself as “a lot” or “too much” in a positive way.

Happiness because with that awareness I could actively begin the work that I lead my clients through to Discover-> Embrace -> Leverage -> Appreciate new elements of my uniqueness to capture the value in it.

So, I’m not trying to accept that I am too much. Nay, I am taking it further. I want to be celebrated and valued for being too much.

I’m often afraid that I am playing too small. I can see how I’m trapping myself under a “too much” ceiling.

It’s time to break down and break through.

I know it’s possible and it’s my next level of growth.

So I hereby declare this “Too Much May”.

I am actively coming from a place of being, doing, and having too much and finding the positive gifts in all of it.

“Too much” is my filter this month. Demi Langford-McConkie said it best: “It’s either Too Much or not at all”.

—
How you can help:

If you want to participate or help with this, you can do so by sharing your own experiences with feeling too much along the way AND the gifts that come from it.

You can also call out times when I am coming off as being too much for you. Be as specific as possible. Heads up, I won’t be apologizing for it or express gratitude . Instead I will simply say “You’re Welcome”. And leave it at that.

This is my practice. I choose to be visible in service of myself and others.

Game on!

5 hidden traps that have kept me from playing at my next level

Lonliness.

It’s the hidden cost to being a leader, being unique, playing at my next level, and honestly just plain old being myself.

It’s the payment to enter higher realms of impact, growth, and contribution that I have been hesitant to pay.

It’s a fact of choosing to belong to yourself first.

If you play it all out, the best way to stand out is to be yourself because there’s only one of you out there.

There’s only 1 in 7+ BILLION PEOPLE who is you.

Of course it’s going to be lonely!

I honestly didn’t get that until 5 mins before sharing this here.

The path to being yourself, to experience true and wholesome freedom and security, to make your highest impact, and to influence and lead change in your world is inherently lonely.

And the story I tell myself is that "being lonely means being unloved."

The cold hard truth of it is that at the level of allowing myself to be me in the world, I’m actually finding that:

a) I love myself more (and I think I’m legit awesome)

b) I love and have the capacity to love others more and

c) I am loved by others more.

I’m going to unpack c) more because that’s the external result I internally craved and the external ceiling I keep bumping into.

I am loved by others "more".

1) "More" through the lens of "Scale":

There absolute value of people who love me continues to grow daily. And it directly ties/ feeds back into my capacity for love. The greater my capacity for love, the more love comes my way.

2) "More" through the lens of "Depth":

This is one of the thing I’ve been fighting for in my life recently.

Where Scaled Love speaks to being "well-known", Deep Love speaks to being "know - well".

The people who choose to love me, choose to do so for the true and unapologetic me as I currently am and as I am becoming.

There’s no more "code-switching".

I’m not burdened by having to diminish myself in order to make others feel safe.

I am not drained by having to be multiple things to multiple people - and then keeping each part of my life compartmentalized for sake of being exposed (this one came fastest for me to be).

I don’t have to be a "chameleon" and change who I am to match your world.

Instead, I welcome you to my world.

I welcome you as you are and as you are becoming.

I welcome you to be courageous and thrive beyond safety.

I welcome you to be in integrity with yourself. Whole, complete, and unapologetic.

Everyday I create a world where we can be unique together. Where we can be authentic together. Where we can be lonely together. Where we can simply BE together.

My name is Nemo Ashong. Most people see me as personable, friendly, joyous, and so much more. And what they don’t see is that on the inside I’m lonely. What I now know is that feeling alone, being alone, and feeling lonely isn’t a good or a bad thing.

It comes down to the stories I tell myself. And I’m choosing to listen to stories that bring us all together - as seperate, unique, and legit awesome people who can be as one, not in spite of but because of what makes us different.

Here’s to being more you everyday because you are the difference. Game on!

(Special thanks to Hayden Lee, Luisa Molano, and Chris Joseph for helping me embrace something that I thought was holding me back rather than helping me forward)

Meta time: a live about going live

There’s a reason why I choose to go live and to create videos.

It’s not because of Facebook reach. Most people aren’t even awake when I go live.

It’s because it’s one of the most effortless ways for me to get my thought leadership out in the world.

No one gave me permission and even if the “reach” went down, I would still choose to leverage this medium because it’s a natural vehicle for me.

And I get 100X relative value from it: 10X the results of most people for 10% of the energy. (Now it’s math time: 10/0.1=100)

Some of my clients leverage in-person dinners, others podcasts, others speaking, some blogging, others recorded live workshops, and some choose word of mouth /referrals.

Discover it. Embrace it. Leverage it. And Appreciate it’s value by getting better at it.

What’s your 100X thought leadership vehicle?

I’m going to watch Trevor Noah live in Singapore in 3 hours.

I’ve been following him regularly for months now, watching the MULTIPLE videos he posts in the same day as my day progresses.

On one level, he’s shown a real example of there’s no such thing as too much content - he’s part of the reason I feel comfortable doing to back to back live videos.

On another level, this is the first time I’ve given money directly to Trevor’s world.

And when I take out my wallet, I like to explore why.

Today it’s gotten me to think about my distinctions between audience, tribe, and community and the capacity of transformation within each.

Are you thinking like a human (quantum thinking) or are you processing like a machine (binary thinking)?

As machines and technology become more wide-spread and accessible, we often feel we need to spend more time operating like a machine with clear black or white options.

I call SHENANIGANS to that! We have the wonderful opportunity to be human and with it comes a unique way of thinking that we alone have access to. Let's make the most of it!

Lessons learned climbing my latest mountain as an Outlier, Pioneer, and Maverick

View Details

What’s working on me right now:

It’s easier for me to try to improve my weaknesses than to live up to the true potential of my gifts.

A focus on weaknesses has the ability to marginally improve a mediocre past.

A focus on gifts has the ability to create a unique contribution currently unknown and not experienced in my world such that a new future has the possibility to be brought to life.

In the video, I share:

Why feedFORWARD is more powerful than feedBACK
why you get higher returns on your investment into honing your unique gifts and talents than on improving your weaknesses
a special invitation to a one time small group coaching experience where you can learn how to discover, embrace, and leverage your unique talents and skills in any setting

I’m no longer playing behind the guise of a made-up business name.

I’m here to play full out and with the all-stars.

My mission is beyond myself and it turns out that I’m “a lot”.

So I’m embracing that and going all in.

There’s a lot of “new” that I have been working on these past few weeks (and there’s a lot more to be shared in the future).

New videos and podcast:

I’m living the life of Outliers, Pioneers, and Mavericks, I create members of the Outliers, Pioneers, and Mavericks tribe, and I’m constantly creating space through coaching and group conversations.

Not everyone is ready to work with me, AND I feel there are valuable insights from watching others get served. So going forward, I’m focused on documenting and sharing conversations that I have with you all.

I’m coaching people live on the POMcasts, you get to see how I am navigating climbing my next mountain as I’m coached, and I’m exploring “dangerous” topics with ordinary people who are willing to both safe and brave in order to make change in their world.

I’m Nemo Ashong, and I’m afraid....

I wasn’t sure of what I was afraid of in this particular case (I actually operate through fear most of the time I choose to be visible).

This time the fear manifested as a fear to truly play at my next level before I was “ready”.

I’ve been building up, researching, analyzing, brainstorming, documenting, strategizing and a lot of other things as a a form of Resistance (ala Steven Pressfield’s “The War of Art”).

It was in a blind spot - operating me from the shadows, until it was brought to light during a conversation with Coen Tan.

He made it clear that if I ever ran into a challenge I did not yet know how to face in business because I was playing at my next level, he had my back and my side to help me create what was needed to rise to the challenge.

And a wave of relief rushed over me.

Partially because I had someone who I could go to with new challenges.

Partially because that was the exact moment that my current fear became visible to me - and once discovered the negative impact, I then had the ability to choose to embrace it as a neutral part of me, then leverage it as an opportunity to share and to serve others, in the future, and then find a way to grow and appreciate the value over time by investing in it. This post and video represents part of that process.

Partially because I can now better utilize the existing support that I get through partners, masterminds, coaches, mentors, and communities.

But mainly because I feel free again to really go for next level challenges and know that there is a net that will catch me. That net may need to be built in real-time AS I’m falling, but I know how to get that support now for multiple sources.

What would change for you if you felt confident that even when you extended yourself beyond your current capabilities, you would be supported?

What would you love to take on that you currently are not?

Who can can share that vision/desire with that can provide support as you leap forward in your next level?

[Real-time calibration for powerful leadership-> people pleaser to Pioneer leader]

I recently had a conversation with a business owner exploring potential partnerships. Mid-way through the conversation (literally 45 mins into it), I realized that I was spending my energy and our time trying to position myself in a way that would impress, make her feel I would be a valuable asset, and come across as an expert she want to work with.

The worst part is that I’m good at that, which meant I’d be getting pulled in for "opportunities" I didn’t really want. AND she wouldn’t consider me for the types of projects that actually align with me and my highest value and values.

I had spent 45 mins slipping into a persona based not on who I was but rather who I felt she wanted me to be!

More on the leadership strategies I used to navigate myself to a place that now has us exploring business opportunities that actually serve the people we want in ways that align with what we’re about in the video.

--

One of the biggest challenges for Pioneer leaders is settling for people pleasing rather than authentic servant leadership.

It makes sense: we’re multi -talented, multi-passionate, energetic and empathetic leaders.

Part of what allows us to pursue these talents and passions amongst varied groups and people is our empathetic ability to pick up on what we feel others want to hear, give them that, and then use micro- indicators in body language, words, tone, and energy to guide us on what’s "right" in the conversation.

That’s people-pleasing 101 and a tool I’ve used over and over as a leader to feel "accepted" and to "build connection".

However, there are levels of leadership that go beyond acceptance, connection, and pleasing which include belonging, relationship, and serving.

Have you caught yourself building a true and yet at the same time inauthentic image of yourself while trying to make a good impression?

Lets talk about how you can make the shift from people pleaser to servant leader mid-conversation/relationship through the video and comments below.

One of the biggest secrets to experiencing joy for yourself is by spreading joy to others!

A really simple avenue for this is through Appreciation.

Let’s experience #WorldJoy together right now by actively creating it in your world right now.

The World Joy movement hereby declares the month of August as Appreciation August!!!!

We’re about application over information, so let me share how you can participate in Appreciation August.

1) Let a different person each day know how much you appreciate them.

2) It should take you no less than one minute to express your sentiments of appreciation ABOUT THEM.

Give them the gift of finding out more about themselves by sharing why you appreciate them as a person in your life - you can give examples to support afterwards.

This is likely going to be the hardest part for people - both to give AND to receive.

3) share your appreciation you way- with a gift, a song, a letter, a drawing, a video, an act of service, an all-expense paid trip to a destination of their choice - I’m not going to limit you!

Just make sure you actually convey what it is about them that you appreciate.

Let’s share our experience of receiving appreciation from others using #appreciationaugust

I’ll do my best to curate throughout the month as well.

And feel free to get a head start now - you can seriously make a difference in someone’s life just be sharing your genuine appreciation.

Welcome to Fear Less February!!

We’re focusing the month of February on the topic of Fear and taking continuing to take pioneering action throughout it.

The month is geared towards transformation: transforming as individuals, as leaders, as teams, as communities, and as cultures.

There’s an important distinction that applies for us Pianeers throughout the month, which will be explored more thoroughly as days go by.

Distinction: “FEAR LESS vs FEARLESS”

Fear as an emotion and feeling is incredibly powerful. As Pioneer leaders, one of our goals is leveraging ALL of us to create impact, income, and influence. So we don’t want to cut fear out completely.

Get ready for an experience that is specifically geared towards helping you play a bigger / different game now rather than later.

If you’d like to participate in rather than observe Fear Less February, leave a comment and send a message and I’ll plug you into the experiences we are creating to help you create safe, brave , and free spaces for you and those you lead throughout the month.

In the meantime, step into fearing a bit less by sharing a conversation that you feel would be valuable to have and explore for yourself that would take a lot of courage to have with people normally. We’ll look for ways to support that throughout the month.

H ere’s to your next frontier- journey on!

Here are 3 questions to think through with this based on our Discover -> Embrace -> Leverage framework.

Discover

How is your current comfort-zone impacting: a) Your goals b) your vision of possibility and c) how you celebrate and value youturself for this year?

(includes what you charge for your offerings, the echelon of clients and client problems you take on, your salary, and career trajectory)

Embrace

What would change for you in life and business if you allowed yourself to be just 30% more uncomfortable where it truly mattered?

Leverage

What is one area and one goal where you would commit to being up to 30% more uncomfortable?

🦚New!! Choose to free your voice now by joining a live facilitated small-group discussion on Tuesday Jan 22nd at 630 pm EST.

Comment "free my voice" or send me a message through any means to be sent the video conversation details.

CONTEXT: WE SPEAK OUR WORLD INTO EXISTENCE

Powerful communication is a hallmark skill for Pioneer Leaders.

Your voice "speaks" to your vision, to who you are and what you stand for, and to how you choose to create a model of your future in the present.

Through our language, when we speak (write,sing, etc) something we give it life. From there, it shapes our present which shapes our future.

TO FIND IMPLIES SOMETHING IS LOST...

What’s been coming up with my clients is language around "finding" the voice.

This suggests that it’s something external and out of their grasp.

It’s also a commonly used phrase, so it leads to common results.

TO FREE ACKNOWLEDGES IT WAS ALWAYS YOURS TO BEGIN WITH

I choose the distinction of "Freeing" your voice to restore power and ownership back to you immediately.

You already have your voice. It’s within you and has always been.

We’ve just learned how to trap it within a cage of convention that prevents that voice from being let loose on the world - even if you know exactly what it is you’d want to be saying (writing, creating, painting, etc).

FREEING YOU VOICE CAN HAPPEN IN AN INSTANT

The work of a Pioneer leader is simply to let that voice free.

Heads up: when first unleashed it will likely be raw. That is OK and just part of the process.

As you free it up more and more, you’ll continue to refine it.

And from there, once you have tamed your free voice, you can evolve it and let it grow.

There’s more coming to mind, and I choose to stop here.

FROM INSIGHT TO APPLICATION: YOU INVITATION

My voice is telling me in this moment to host a conversation and exploration around "Freeing your Voice" for you and other Pianeers.

Let’s do it this Tuesday, Jan 22 at 630 pm EST over zoom video conference!

Comment "FREE MY VOICE" or just let me know you are coming through a message.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT AS A RESULT OF JOINING

Honestly, expect nothing.

Expecting anyone else to provide the result is akin to the external focus of finding your voice.

You choose how you want to play.

This is specifically designed for you to challenge you, to give you space to grow exponentially, to play outside of your comfort, and to be supported along the way.

We create the environment, you create the results.

If one person shows up, you’ll get coachee by me.

If 5 show up, you will get coached by me and also benefit from learning through others.

And if there’s even more interest, you’ll get to explore through small-group facilitated discussions where you’ll both free your voice and contribute to a unique set of Pioneer leaders doing the same.

This will not be a teaching webinar - there’s enough information out there.

This is a learning experience facilitated through conversations - it’s about application not information.

No prep needed and I’m waiving forms this time.

If you choose to join and play, put yourself in a place where you can speak openly, honestly, and with focus.

Because the focus is you.

Appreciating inclusion by appreciating authenticity.

Context:

There’s a paradox involved between Diversity and Inclusion.

There can be a COST as an individual to be AUTHENTIC in a non-inclusive environment.

There’s also little/no return on an INCLUSIVE environment that doesn’t cultivate authenticity.

Fitting out vs fitting in vs belonging

Sharing some real-time reflections after rereading my high school yearbook.

tl ;dr - many of us try to combat the loneliness in not belonging by “fitting-in”. On the other side of the same coin is the opposite-but-equal approach of “fitting out”.

If fitting-in involves you making choices to not stick out in order to be accepted, fitting out involves you making choices specifically to stick out and this “not need” (haha) to be accepted.

More clarity forthcoming as I gain more awareness and insight around it.

I'm thrilled to introduce Dr. Sarah Coxon to the Outliers, Pioneers, Maverick tribe. The two of us engage in a coaching conversation around hustle, flow, and the source of energy that drives both.

Questions for consideration:

How were Nemo and Sarah being that allowed for the conversation to go to deeper levels as it progresses?
What is the equivalent of "bad hustle" and where in your life are you operating from that place?
What would you gain if you could shift the driving source behind it?

Heyo - Nemo Ashong here. I'm thrilled to serve you through this video!

I lead a tribe of people who identify as Outliers (one of the only), Pioneers (one of the first), and/or Mavericks (one of a kind) stop settling at the corner of "fitting-in" & "holding back" and start creating at their unique and abundant frontier that lies beyond "belonging" and "possibility".

When people choose to have experiences with me, it comes with playing at a higher level than you've ever done in the past. And that's exciting!

If you're ready to take on your next mountain in your business/career or want a sherpa as you travel through the unknown wilderness of an impossible goal, then we should talk.

He has a track record of reinventing himself to be able to take on new challenges, new worlds, and new experiences. And while that is incredibly uplifting, there are some hidden challenges that he has had to overcome to make what he's done possible.

Join us as we explore those challenges from the past and address the hidden challenges he's currently facing.

Outsiders vs Outliers

Part of why our current approach to inclusion feels so exclusive to me.

Thanks to Yolanda Lee for coining ”The Outlier Syndrome” and for bringing my awareness towards the initial distinctions between being an Outsider and an Outlier.

Some people want luck. Some people find luck. And a smaller subset still is able to create luck (even if they do so subconsciously).

I'm happy to introduce you Jaspreet who is an Outlier, Pioneer, and Maverick who consistently creates opportunities where few others would think possible.

During our conversation, we call out 4 unique elements to his natural approach to create luck.

The point here isn't to take what works for him and make it yours. Instead, I invite you to listen not for his 4 elements, but to the process, we used to call out those elements.

While you're listening, use our conversation as a light and reflection into your own life and business.

Questions to consider:

Where in your life have you created tremendous success with such ease and comfort that it could only be described as "luck"? (e.g. 10x results for 10% effort aka 100x)

What conditions do you need in order for "luck" to meet you at it's highest probability?

Where might you be downplaying or ignoring your own natural talents because they are in fact "natural" and easy?

What would happen to your life/business if you came from that "way of being" intentionally over the next 3 years?

CAPITALIZING ON THE GIFTS THAT FEAR BRINGS US

Do you have a mission or vision of the way your world could look that scares you?

I’ve been on vacation in Sri Lanka for the past week which has given me a chance to see my business and my impact from a higher / big picture vantage point.

Between the waterfalls, hikes, tea factories, and beaches, my mind has been drifting to the sheer size of the mission we stand for at Empjoyment: to bring together a truly inclusive and empowered world.

It’s that last word “ world” that has been bringing up a sense of fear for me. As I travel more and more, I’m finding out just how nuanced the challenges to true inclusion are in different countries, communities, and ways of work.

If I had to dive deeper on this particular fear, it’s the fear that I’m being naive around how the world works. It’s the fear that I’ll be utterly unsuccessful and a failure because I tried to “boil the ocean”.

It’s the fear that if I fail, I’ll be reinforcing the more restricting belief that the path to success is in conformity and marginally improving the status quo rather than being able to set my own unique path - essentially one of core principles I operate from.

And a fear of wasting my potential by pursuing a unobtainable ideal.

From these fears came both a revelation and a reminder of something I once knew but forgot.

Today’s Fear Less February video shares my journey to find the gift amongst the fears and invites you into a conversation to explore and share hidden gifts for you as well.

Side note: I’ve finally written my mission enough that the iPhone is able to predict it. A subtle reminder that I stand for something real.

As we start things off with the Outliers, Pioneers, and Mavericks conversations, I feel it's important to make sure I'm showing the real journey, not just the polished version that makes it all look easy and flawless.

So let's start with what I don't want you to know about me...

I recorded this conversation in December of 2017... and didn't publish it for another year and a half.

There are a lot of reasons for that including energy fatigue of keeping up a podcast, not feeling aligned with where the podcast was going, and probably the most honest of them all, embarrassment because I had let so much time go by since we had initially recorded the session.

I feel it's important to document my journey as an Outlier, Pioneer, and Maverick myself.

And one of the things I've learned is that if you choose to be the first, the only, or one of a kind, there are times when it can feel scary to put your ambitions, dreams, and visions into the world. If there's anything I feel the simple act of releasing this conversation 1.5 years later shows, is that it's never too late to create the future you want to see in the present you are in.

Gifts of being triggered: Discovering your Unique Strengths and Talents

View Details

We are “a lot”. That’s why we’ll change the world!

I’m done holding back. I’m done shrinking for the masses. I am a lot and that’s one of my greatest assets.

This video was a video I started making for myself as my energy around the epiphany was too much to write. Then the energy became too much to just keep to myself.

This video is for you and all leaders who are tired of holding back who you are to fit-in. Who are done with turning down who you are because others can’t handle it. Who have learned to shrink because others say “you’re too much”!

I say you are even more amazing than you know and we need even more of you.

Your world, our world, and the world needs a set of leaders who come from a place of abundance, who share powerful visions and positive possibilities, and bring all of who they are to create a future distinct from the past.

We’re done settling. We’re done playing small and thinking medium. We’re done waiting for our turn to lead.

Look out cuz here we come!
