Own the Room is where high-level communication stops being a mystery and becomes a skill you can master.
Hosted by Jake Stahl — author of Own the Room: How to Be Seen, Heard, and Respected, creator of STRATA™, and the mind behind Create a Profile Picture — this show pulls back the curtain on the psychology behind presence, persuasion, and performance. Each episode explores the invisible captions people broadcast through their posture, timing, tone, and energy… the ones that decide whether you get heard, dismissed, or instantly trusted.
You’ll learn how to read people in real time, adjust your delivery so it lands with authority, and speak directly to the decision-maker instead of the performer. Through raw conversations, sharp breakdowns, and stories that hit uncomfortably close to home, Jake shows you how to command a room without forcing it — by understanding what people aren’t saying out loud.
If you’re a founder, fractional exec, leader, or anyone who needs to pitch, persuade, or influence under pressure… this is the show that teaches you the mechanics behind being taken seriously.

Get Off Your Couch - Jake’s Raw Truth on Starting Your Solopreneur Journey
In this week's solo episode, Jake dives deep into why so many aspiring solopreneurs get stuck in fear and comfort, how identity lock-in and negative self-talk keep them from starting, and what practical mindset shifts and actions they can take to break through.
Listeners will learn:
How the brain’s instinct for safety overrides desire for growth, keeping many stuck in bad situations.
Why habitual complaining and negative identity narratives are self-reinforcing traps that stall progress.
The power of cognitive dissonance in resisting change and the fear of admitting past mistakes.
Actionable advice to trick your brain into incremental progress with “micro wins.”
How to turn pain and discomfort into motivation instead of avoidance.
The critical importance of setting deadlines and finding accountability partners.
Why owning your mental and emotional state internally is foundational to owning your external success.
A motivational call for solopreneurs to compete only with their past selves, not others.
If you’re ready to stop hesitating and start owning your entrepreneurial journey, this episode delivers honest, practical guidance to shift your mindset and build sustained momentum.
