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":"What Drives You When There's No One to Prove Wrong | Ep 971","slug":"what-drives-you-when-there-s-no-one-to-prove-wrong-ep-971","published_at":"2026-05-26T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/outlier-s-edge-podcast-with-niiamah-ashong-699880/what-drives-you-when-there-s-no-one-to-prove-wrong-ep-971","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/93934dd7-c9df-421e-be22-99eb9f98fea8.mp3","summary":"\"The hard thing is not making it happen. The hard thing is making the decision.\" — Dom Moss Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Dom, for a throwback live coaching session recorded during the early days of COVID-19 in New York City. Dom has moved from France to London to Barcelona to Manila to Bali to Hong Kong to New York, gotten a green card from scratch, and made every impossible thing happen. But the book she is writing, the one everyone around her believes in, is not moving. In this session, Niiamah finds out why: the medium is not the book. She is. And the message she needs to hear is not \"shine.\" It is \"you shine.\" Not a command. A fact. Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.
