Master Magnetic Presence: How to be yourself but more likeable w/ Harry Cohen
Timeless lessons on building friendships and presence that aligns with buddhism, stoicism and generally being a kinder person.
A sunflower doesn’t hold strategy meetings to decide which way to grow. It simply tilts toward the light.
This conversation with Dr. Harry Cohen invites us to do the same. The heliotropic effect—our quiet, evolutionary pull toward positive energy—may be the simplest, most overlooked lever of leadership and community.
We explore what happens when you become the light source instead of chasing it. Why a six-second smile hacks brain chemistry, how a clean apology resets trust faster than any marketing funnel, and what my own networking face-plant taught me about social tax.
Take homes:
- Swap “small talk” for small wins to trigger instant rapport
- Schedule a daily 1 % kindness rep and track the ripple
- Deploy the two-word apology before your ego drafts excuses
