How to Confidently Approach Anyone in Public, with Beggie Olafs; Psychologist and Charisma Expert

If you’ve ever seen someone intriguing at a coffee shop, networking event, or gym, but felt paralyzed about approaching them, this episode is for you.


Jake sits down with psychologist and charisma expert Beggie Olafs to crack open the hidden playbook on confidently connecting with anyone, anywhere. They dive into the psychology behind why rejection terrifies us, how simple interactions can dramatically reshape your life, and tactical scripts you can start using immediately to engage with strangers in everyday scenarios.


From mastering the gym approach (without being creepy) to breaking the ice at bars, grocery stores, or coffee shops, Beggie reveals practical, proven methods to overcome anxiety and build genuine connections.


What if every stranger was a potential new friend, partner, or business collaborator? After listening, you’ll never see an interaction with a stranger the same way again.


Listen in to learn:


  • Why fear of rejection is rooted deeply in human evolution—and how to hack it.


  • Simple, actionable conversation starters for everyday situations.


  • How your energy can magnetically draw people to you.


  • Why remembering names and telling compelling stories makes you unforgettable.


Turn fear into excitement. Strangers are just connections you haven’t made yet.
