85. What Leaders Miss About Communication and Trust (Eric Ries)

A founder builds something people trust. Customers love it. Employees believe in it. Investors are happy. Then, slowly, something changes. The targets shift. The incentives change. The message stays the same – but the behaviour doesn’t. And trust starts to fade. In this episode, I sit down with Eric Ries @theericriesshow – author of Incorruptible and The Lean Startup – and one of the most influential thinkers in modern entrepreneurship. We talked about why so many companies start with strong values and drift over time – even when leaders care about doing the right thing. Eric shares powerful stories – from Cloudflare’s “unspoken mission” to Sol Price, the father of modern retail, and the paradox of success that can make great companies vulnerable. One idea keeps coming back: Communication isn’t just what you say.It’s what people see repeated in decisions, incentives and trade-offs. We explore why mission statements often fail, why jargon weakens clarity, and why trust – not strategy, not growth, not even innovation – shapes long-term success. We also talk about what happens under pressure.Because that’s where leadership communication is tested. What You’ll Learn:* Why people believe what you reinforce, not just what you say * How to align your message with incentives and decisions* Why inconsistent signals weaken trust inside teams* How to communicate purpose so it holds under pressure* What leaders do differently when they build lasting trust In This Episode:03:45 – The story behind Incorruptible08:21 – Why business jargon weakens communication09:17 – Cloudflare’s unspoken mission17:47 – External pressure and “financial gravity”24:55 – When people stop believing your message25:30 – You can’t command an organisation28:46 – Sol Price and the power of ethos34:29 – The paradox of success47:01 – Trust as the most underrated asset If you lead a team, build a business or communicate ideas for a living, this episode will change how you think about communication.

84. How to Build Relationships That Create Opportunities (Riley McGhee)

“At the end of your life, all you really have are the relationships you’ve built – and the stories you can tell.” That idea stayed with me after this conversation. In business, we often talk about strategies, funnels and growth. But behind every opportunity – every client, every collaboration, every breakthrough – there’s a relationship. In this episode, I sit down with Riley McGhee to explore how those relationships actually begin. Not with a pitch.Not with a script.But with a simple, human conversation. Riley shares his Authentic Outreach framework – a practical way to reach out, build trust and create opportunities without sounding transactional or forced. We talk about why most outreach feels fake, how to start conversations that people want to respond to, and how to turn those conversations into meaningful business outcomes. But what made this conversation stand out for me is something deeper. Instead of just talking about tactics, Riley talks about the principles behind them. Why being genuinely interested in others makes you more interesting.Why many experts struggle to explain what they do.Why we often build offers based on what we think – instead of what the market actually needs. And he shares a powerful story of how one message to <a href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC71-_OyeGr9XBG-ONkw9L6A"> @markleruste </a> led to a relationship that shaped his entire career. Because in the end, business is about people. What You’ll Learn:- Why most outreach fails (and what to do instead)- How to start conversations that feel natural- The 3-step framework to build real relationships- How to turn conversations into opportunities- Why clarity is the key to better offers and presentations In This Episode: 00:46 – What “Authentic Outreach” Really Means04:51 – Why Outreach Feels Inauthentic (“Pitch Slap”)08:09 – How to Start Conversations That Get Replies11:39 – The 3 I’s Framework (Intro, Interest, Invite)11:48 – Be Interested to Be Interesting14:44 – Why “Being Normal” Wins in Business28:08 – Turning Conversations into Opportunities (The Invite)33:26 – Calls vs Webinars: What’s the Right Next Step?37:51 – Why Most Offers Don’t Work38:33 – Simplify to Clarify (Trim the Fat)43:39 – The Curse of Knowledge in Sales49:39 – The Message That Changed His Career01:02:15 – Why Relationships Hold True Value If you want to build stronger relationships, communicate more clearly, and create more opportunities – this episode will change how you think about outreach.

83. Storytelling Is Your Superpower (Carmine Gallo)

A few days after a presentation, most people will forget most of what you said.So what should they remember?In this episode, I sit down with Carmine Gallo – three-time Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Harvard instructor, and one of the world’s leading voices on communication. We explore why, despite AI and new platforms, the principles of persuasion haven’t changed in over 2,000 years.From Aristotle to TikTok, from Airbnb’s early struggles to the story behind NVIDIA and its founder, one idea keeps coming back:Storytelling is your superpower.We talk about why facts don’t persuade on their own, how to use “all is lost” moments to build trust, and how great communicators engineer moments people actually remember. We also discuss AI – not as a replacement, but as a tool that should never replace your voice.What You’ll Learn:- Why storytelling builds trust and drives decisions- How to use struggle to strengthen your message- Why people forget most presentations- How to create moments of attention- How to use AI without losing your voiceIn This Episode:03:14 – AI Changes Tools, Not Persuasion03:54 – Aristotle’s Formula Still Works Today06:15 – What Neuroscience Reveals About Attention09:14 – Ethos, Pathos, Logos in Business11:38 – Why Storytelling Is Our Superpower13:30 – The Origin Story That Won Investors19:11 – The “All Is Lost” Moment Explained21:20 – Airbnb’s Struggle and the Power of Detail24:14 – Why We Avoid Talking About Failure25:47 – The Square Pitch That Built Trust26:36 – How to Engineer “Wow Moments”29:31 – Why People Forget Most Presentations34:04 – The Hero’s Journey Made Practical36:17 – The Story Behind NVIDIA’s Rise41:32 – The AMP Framework (Ability, Message, Practice)45:19 – Why Message Matters More Than Delivery47:46 – How to Practice for Real Confidence51:05 – AI’s LimitsIf you want your ideas to be remembered – and acted on – this episode will change how you present.We hope you enjoy it.———————Carmine Gallo: - Website: https://www.carminegallo.com/ - Audiobook – Viral Voices: From TED Talks to TikTok, Persuasive Communication Skills for the Digital Age ——————— IDEAS ON STAGE RESOURCES - Timeless Presenter (book) – early access list: https://bit.ly/timeless-presenter-early-list - Confident Presenter (book) – free copy: https://bit.ly/confident-presenter-free- Business Presentation Revolution (book): https://www.ideasonstage.com/resources/books/business-presentation-revolution-book/ - The Confident Presenter Scorecard: https://ideasonstage.com/score - Free Web Class: https://www.ideasonstage.com/uk/events/ #IdeasOnStagePodcast #CommunicationSkills #Storytelling #PublicSpeaking #LeadershipCommunication #Presentations
