Conversations on leadership, storytelling, and staying human in a noisy world.


I'm Bobby Umar. 5x TEDx speaker, Inc Magazine Top 100 Leadership Speaker, and 2x LinkedIn Top Voice. For 25 years I've spoken on stages across 4 continents about the one thing that actually drives careers, businesses, and lives: the power of connection.


This show is where influence gets human again. Each episode gives you one big idea and something you can use right away, whether that's telling stories that move people, building a personal brand rooted in who you really are, becoming a thought leader without becoming a performer, or leading with the kind of vulnerability that builds real trust.


Expect solo teaching sessions, masterclasses with brilliant guest experts, and honest conversations about what it takes to be seen, heard, and remembered.

If you're a leader, entrepreneur, speaker, or anyone building something that depends on people trusting you, this show is for you.


New episodes weekly. Let's get into it.

    The Power of Stories: Why Storytelling Wins in Business
    Jul 19 2026

    Facts inform. Stories move. Here's how to use story to sell, lead, and be remembered.

    Stories are the most powerful tool you have to build trust and drive action, and most professionals waste them. Bobby shares how to use storytelling for business and growth: where stories belong, how to structure one that lands, and why the human brain is wired to remember them long after the data is forgotten. Practical and immediately usable.

  • Why Vulnerability Is a Strength, Not a Weakness

    Why Vulnerability Is a Strength, Not a Weakness
    Jul 19 2026

    The moment you let people see the real you is the moment they start to trust you.

    The show opens where Bobby's whole philosophy begins: vulnerability. In this short, honest session he unpacks why the polished version of you keeps people at a distance, and why the willingness to be seen is what actually builds trust, connection, and influence. A tight, powerful start to the show.
