Passion Struck with John R. Miles The Connected Life: Taylor Swift and the Power of Presence w/ John R. Miles | EP 624
Taylor Swift is one of the most famous people on the planet—but that’s not what makes her powerful.
What makes her powerful is presence.
In an era of curated lives and performative connection, Swift has done something rare: she’s made people feel seen. Not just heard, not just entertained—seen. And in today’s world, that’s a kind of emotional leadership we desperately need.
This episode of The Connected Life breaks down how Swift models what I call the art of mattering—a way of showing up that goes beyond charisma or fame. It’s about congruence. Alignment. Making people feel like they matter, not as a tactic, but as a way of life.
We often think connection is external—about how we express, persuade, or lead. But in this episode, John flips that lens inward to explore how emotional self-awareness, authenticity, and mattering shape every relationship we build—starting with ourselves.
