What's an Outlier? An Outlier is a high-performing, high-impact leader who often is: One of the Only: Thrive in systems/environments that were not designed to have someone like them succeed, One of the First: Thrive doing things no one else has ever done or dares to even try One of a Kind: Thrive on their unconventional and independent terms regardless of what others around them are doing THIS IS A PODCAST FOR PEOPLE WHO: - aren't afraid of \"playing small\", but are scared of \"thinking medium\". - Are exploring new frontiers in society or their field - Are at the top of their field or business against typical odds and expectations from others like them, - Are taking an independent and unconventional approach outside of the status-quo - know that their mindsets, limiting beliefs, and other internal struggles are actually shared with other leaders who stand f…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T22:21:10.777347+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/outlier-s-edge-podcast-with-niiamah-ashong-699880"},"episode":{"title":"The Gift Inside Your Hardest Story | Diana & Danby | Ep 957","slug":"the-gift-inside-your-hardest-story-diana-danby-ep-957","published_at":"2026-05-12T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/outlier-s-edge-podcast-with-niiamah-ashong-699880/the-gift-inside-your-hardest-story-diana-danby-ep-957","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/outlier-s-edge-podcast-with-niiamah-ashong-699880","url":"https://niiamahashong.com","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/e9b50b7c-2dfb-4887-94d2-0d4bebe3943a.mp3","summary":"\"There are gifts in failure, vulnerability, and shame. For us to grow, for us to connect with a part of ourselves that we've shut down for means of survival.\" – Diana Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and guests Diana and Danby for a live throwback coaching session that redefines what next level growth actually looks like. Diana opens the conversation by doing what most leaders won't — owning the full gift of her hardest story, including 20 years of undiagnosed PTSD and the courage it took to find the transformation inside it. Danby confronts a quieter truth: a lifetime of saying \"sure\" to great opportunities and what it costs to never have said a full yes. Niiamah introduces the Too Much Game, a real framework for leaders who've been told they're a lot, and are finally ready to collect points for it. This episode is for leaders who are already playing. It's for the ones who are 70% ready right now and need permission to go. Subscribe for daily live coaching. Drop a comment, where in your life are you saying sure when you mean hell yes?
