Episode notes

What do you think of when you think of swagger? This episode is about thinking about swagger in a different way. Leslie Ehm is the author of Swagger: Unleash Everything You Are and Become Everything You Want. Which just happens to be one of the best books I've read in a long time. I found it life changing, and I'm excited to have Leslie here to talk about it.

Leslie Ehm is an evangelist of creativity and collaboration. She's been a singer, script editor, TV host and the President & Chief Fire Starter at Combustion. She's worked with agencies like Leo Burnett, JWT, and Taxi. She's worked with global clients including Google, IKEA, Pesico, and more. She's super fun to be around and a friend of mine.

We dive into the concept of swagger, and how excited Leslie is about the release of her new book. Leslie shares how she redefines swagger and how it can help us manifest who we truly are. You'll be surprised to know that it's not what you think it is. We talk about the journey and evolution of swagger, introverts and swagger, the layers that separate us from who we really are, and more as Leslie breaks it all down.
