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":"Your Gift Is You Not What You Do | Ep 969","slug":"your-gift-is-you-not-what-you-do-ep-969","published_at":"2026-05-24T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/outlier-s-edge-podcast-with-niiamah-ashong-699880/your-gift-is-you-not-what-you-do-ep-969","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/31009ef4-457f-4235-84b8-fdefad52ab6c.mp3","summary":"\"The gift that your people are looking for is you.\" — Niiamah Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Matt for a live throwback soul-to-soul coaching session that goes to unexpected places. Matt's mantra as a goalkeeper was \"you can't hurt me.\" He built an armor of mental endurance that carried him through Ironman races, executive life, divorce, and grief. Now he's a coach trying to give the world his gift and realizing the harder he tries, the less he gives. In this session, Niiamah catches him in the act: upgrading from \"impressing people with achievement\" to \"impressing people with vulnerability\" is still impressing. The real move is to impress yourself. And then live from the space after the mountain, where nothing is left to prove, and play is all that remains. 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.
