  • How to Make Any Person Feel Seen with Will Guidara

    How to Make Any Person Feel Seen with Will Guidara
    May 12 2026
    Most people think hospitality is just about service. Will Guidara believes it’s about making people feel seen. In this conversation, Will and I talk about what it really means to care for people well—whether you’re leading a team, managing a business, sitting across from someone you love, or just trying to become a better communicator. From turning Eleven Madison Park into the #1 restaurant in the world to helping create the hit show, The Bear, Will shares the mindset that changed everything for him: the smallest moments often leave the biggest impact. We talk about thoughtful criticism, leading with grace, creating team culture, and why the best communicators listen for what people aren’t saying.

  • Jefferson Fisher Takes YOUR Calls | Ask Me Anything

    Jefferson Fisher Takes YOUR Calls | Ask Me Anything
    May 5 2026
    Today’s episode is a little more personal than usual. I’m listening to your voicemails for the very first time and responding right there in the moment—no script, no prep, just real conversations. We talk about what it feels like when your partner can’t express emotion, how to move forward when someone won’t forgive you, and how to handle those uncomfortable conversations about money, leadership, and family. These are the kinds of situations where there isn’t a perfect line—you just want to get it right. If you’ve ever been in a moment where you didn’t know what to say, or you said the wrong thing and wished you could take it back, this episode is for you.

  • Why You Overthink Every Conversation After It Ends ft. Shadé Zahrai

    Why You Overthink Every Conversation After It Ends ft. Shadé Zahrai
    Apr 28 2026
    There’s a voice in your head—and it’s shaping more of your life than you realize. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shadé Zahrai to break down the real science behind self-doubt, where it comes from, and why it shows up strongest after your conversations—not before them. We walk through the four hidden “voices” driving your inner critic and how to separate from them so they stop running the show. If you’ve ever replayed a conversation in your head or felt like you’re not enough, this episode gives you the tools to change that.

I love the way Jefferson breaks each episode down into a specific thing to tackle, giving examples and actionable tips to use.

Thanks for your expertise and insights Jefferson, I really think this stuff is life changing whilst being mainly small, simple changes!

I can't wait to see how much more confident I feel in some of these situations now.

In fact, I used a few of your tips in a business networking session this morning, and also passed some of your tips on to other local small business owners to help them too!

The ripple effect of this work is mind blowing. You rock 🥳🍾🍻

An easy listen and so helpful

I came across your posts on instagram and have been hooked ever since. I blurt out responses and continue to talk and talk and talk. Taking a breath is the key for me, it’s my first word, a breath, what a revelation. My brain runs at a million miles an hour, late diagnosis of ADHD has given me clarity about the way I communicate. Your podcasts are perfect for me, your clear and use simple language and techniques. I fill silence with fluff, I’m going to practice getting comfortable with silence. Thank you, you have made a huge difference to my life
