Before You Speak, They’ve Already Judged You — Here’s What to Do About It
Jun 03, 2025•53 min
Episode description
They judge you in milliseconds — before you say a single word.
And if your presence doesn’t match your message, you're not just being ignored — you're being dismissed.
In this episode, Kwame Christian sits down with presence expert Evan Weiner to explore the hidden science behind how people experience you — and why that can instantly boost or sabotage your power in negotiation, leadership, and life. From physical presence and aesthetic identity to the neuroscience of dopamine and status, you’ll learn:
Why your style, posture, and polish matter more than you think
How to build presence that defends your reputation and commands respect
The surprising way your body language could be creating “communication dissonance”
What to do today to become instantly more persuasive — without changing who you are
If you’ve ever felt like people don’t take you seriously — or don’t listen no matter how well you speak — this episode will shift the way you show up forever.
