You’re always selling something. In today’s episode, Kevin and Alan redefine sales as a core leadership skill, not a sleazy tactic. Influence shapes every outcome in your career, your relationships, and your growth. The real question is whether you are using it consciously.
This conversation cuts through the noise around persuasion, trust, credibility, and effective communication. Sales is not pressure. It is clarity. It is the ability to transfer conviction so others can see what you already see. If you cannot communicate value, you cannot lead. If you cannot build trust, you cannot scale. Stop avoiding the skill that determines your ceiling. Build it.
