The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk
Notes:
- "I sensed something was terribly wrong when I dialed into the conference line at 8:00 a.m. and heard an unfamiliar voice. "Hi, Mel ody, I'm Janine. I'm with an external HR firm. Unfortunately, this call is to let you know that your employment has been terminated, effective immediately."
- Managing up is not kissing up. Managing up is strategically navigating relationships with those who have more positional power than you, namely your boss. It's a critical skill set for maneuvering through the complex web of power dynamics, conversations, and unspoken expectations that shape our daily work lives.
- The triple win – What is something you can do that is good for you, good for your boss, and good for the company? Focus on those issues and solving those problems, and good things will happen for you as you grow your career. Like Carly Fiorina. Run towards the fire. Solving those tough problems will help you, your boss, and your company
- Meeting with a CEO. Connect what you did with what matters. Adapt your communication to that.
- Have upward empathy. Put yourself in their shoes. What matters to them? Prior to the meeting, meet with their Chief of Staff. Anticipate objections and answer them before they are asked.
- Create a one-pager for your boss when they are doing your performance review. Highlight your wins. Remind them. Make it easy on them.
- Do what Lee Rivas told me to do. Every week, send an email with bullet points for all the things you did to help your boss and the company.
- For the one pagers - be proactive, start with wins, results and outcomes. it's not self-promoting; it's informing. Identify 1-3 key areas where you need their support. Help them become a trusted advisor or partner.
- Design your 1:1. Send them the topics to talk about so you can drive those discussions. Make their life easier. They have enough other things to worry about.
- Feedback can only happen after alignment, styles, ownership, boundaries... They go in order.
- Define your A B Cs
- Assumptions, Behaviors, Change you want to see
- The advancement conversation - Be open, and share what you want to do and how you can get there. My Dustyn Kim example and how I messed it up.
- The Money conversation - You don't get a raise just because time has passed. It has to be tied to results. Don't talk about the past and what you've done. Talk about what you can do to earn the company more. Don't do the "I deserve this" thing. Bosses hate that.
- Managing up is not kissing up. Managing up is strategically navigating relationships with those who have more positional power than you, namely your boss. It's a critical skill set for maneuvering through the complex web of power dynamics, conversations, and unspoken expectations that shape our daily work lives.
- Everything changes when you understand the art and science of influencing others while keeping your own emotions and insecurities in check.
- "Managing up isn't really about making your boss's life easier. It's about taking control of your own work experience."
- 10 Key Conversations:
- The Alignment Conversation How can I get in my boss's head to understand their needs, motivations, and goals?
- The Styles Conversation Will I earn more respect from my manager if I get to the point quickly, or should I try swapping stories and building rapport?
- The Ownership Conversation How can I solve the problems that make my job frustrating? How can I seize opportunities without stepping on toes?
- The Boundaries Conversation How do I say no and push back with tact when my manager saddles me with yet another task?
- The Feedback Conversation How can I respectfully and effectively give my manager feedback in order to improve processes and communication?
- The Networking Conversation How can I build other allies in the workplace? How can I turn day-to-day interactions into opportunities that open doors?
- The Visibility Conversation How can I effectively advocate for myself and show off my strengths?
- The Advancement Conversation What do I need to do to get to the next level?
- The Money Conversation When is the right time to negotiate salary? How can I make sure I am getting the compensation I deserve?

<p>Leon Neyfakh is a journalist and podcaster best known as the co-creator and host of <em>Slow Burn</em>, <em>Fiasco</em>, and <em>Backfired</em>. He has been a reporter for <em>Slate, The Boston Globe</em>, and <em>The New York Observer </em>and is the author of the book <em>The Next Next Level</em>. Listen to his newest podcasts here.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Season 3: OnlyFantasy</strong></p><p>In this provocative investigation into OnlyFans— the adult platform where subscribers around the world spent more than $7 billion in 2024— journalist Leon Neyfakh teams up with comedian and OnlyFans creator Gracie Canaan for a one-of-a-kind exploration into the current state of human connection.</p><p>Throughout, they discover that the site originally built for spicy adult content has quietly and surprisingly become something more complicated— an emotional marketplace where desire, performance, care, fantasy, and vulnerability seemingly blur together.</p><p>As Neyfakh and Canaan navigate timely questions about autonomy, performance, and profit, a question emerges: is connection mediated by a screen still authentic? To find the answer, they meet creators building lucrative businesses, subscribers who believe they’ve found something real, professional “chatters” who are paid to simulate affection, and pioneers who have helped engineer intimacy at scale.</p><p>Captivating and tender, <i>OnlyFantasy</i> is ultimately about the cost of loneliness, the seductive power of desire, and how the rules of human intimacy are being rewritten online.</p><p>Is what’s happening on OnlyFans real? Or is it only a fantasy? </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Season 2: Final Thoughts: Jerry Springer</strong></p><p>Jerry Springer wasn’t supposed to become the host of <em>The Jerry Springer Show</em>. Before the chairs started flying and the fights became a daytime TV staple, the man then known as Gerald Springer was an idealistic rising star in Democratic politics, with ambitions to one day be elected governor of Ohio. </p><p>From Leon Neyfakh and Prologue Projects<em> —</em> the team behind <em>Slow Burn</em>, <em>Fiasco</em>, <em>Backfired, </em>and <em>Think Twice: Michael Jackson —</em> comes <em>Final Thoughts: Jerry Springer</em>.</p><p>You may think you know Springer, the notorious ringmaster of what <em>TV Guide</em> once called “the worst show in television history.” But long before Springer’s name became synonymous with outrageous guests, taboo confessions, and vicious on-stage brawls, he was the mayor of Cincinnati<em> —</em> a serious and popular politician who many believed was the future of the Democratic Party. So, what happened?</p><p>This series traces Springer’s unlikely transformation<em> —</em> from the son of Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany, to a respected public servant, to the face of a show many called a symptom of cultural decline. Through intimate interviews with the people who knew him best<em> —</em> family, political insiders, and the producers who helped shape his show<em> —</em> <em>Final Thoughts</em> will bring you closer than ever to the man behind the spectacle, and maybe even cause you to rethink some of your own life choices.</p><p><em>Final Thoughts</em> isn’t just a story about one man’s improbable career path. It’s about how far someone can go for success and what they’re willing to trade to stay on top. Was Springer pulled into the gutter, or did he just understand it better than anyone else? </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Season 1: Think Twice: Michael Jackson</strong></p><p>More than a decade since Michael Jackson’s death, his legacy remains complicated and unresolved. <em>Think Twice: Michael Jackson</em> is an exploration of the King of Pop’s life and impact — and an investigation into why his global influence continues to endure, despite the disturbing allegations against him. In this ten-part series, journalists Leon Neyfakh and Jay Smooth bring you a new perspective on the Michael Jackson story, based on dozens of original interviews with people who watched it unfold from up close. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Credits</strong>:</p><p>Hosts — Leon Neyfakh and Gracie Canaan </p><p>Supervisor Producer — Sam Lee</p><p>Editor — Diane Hodson </p><p>Producers — Dustin DeSoto and Betsy Shepherd</p><p>Mix Engineer — Erica Huang</p><p>Theme Song and Score — Billy Libby</p><p>Fact-Checker — Annika Robbins </p><p>Executive Producers — Lara Regan Kleinschmidt, Jules Henderson, and Heather Won Tesoriero</p>

Arsénico Caviar
By shows
<p>Un podcast original de Podium, con Beatriz Serrano y Guillermo Alonso, que gira en torno a los sentimientos que mueven nuestras vidas: el odio, la antipatía y el resentimiento. O, más bien, sobre las cosas y las personas que despiertan estos oscuros sentimientos que nosotros intentamos que permanezcan dormidos pero la vida no lo permite. En Arsénico Caviar creemos que el odio une y define más que el amor, y si el amor puede mover montañas, nosotros queremos dinamitarlas.</p> <p>'Arsénico Caviar' ha sido galardonado como Mejor Podcast conversacional (ex aequo) en los II Premios Ondas Globales del Podcast.</p>
