I grew up yearning to be more confident, outgoing, charismatic, and to do something special with my life. I was the kid in highschool you would call "lazy ambitious". I had huge goals, but my fear of judgment kept me from chasing after them. Finally, I said enough is enough and poured thousands of hours and dollars into personal development to reinvent myself into my dream me. Although I'm still on that journey, I want to be that source of inspiration

Top Psychologist: How to INFLUENCE Anyone (Mahin Kohneh)

In this episode of Gross Potential, I sat down with psychologist Mahin Kohneh to break down the unwritten rules of influence — the psychological forces that shape trust, attraction, identity, and human behavior.

Mahin explains how naming emotions builds instant trust, how identity labeling changes behavior, and why most people struggle with influence because they focus on themselves instead of others.
