Unlock the hidden negotiation advantage you never knew you had.
What if the very trait you’ve been told is holding you back is actually your greatest strength at the bargaining table?
In this powerful Negotiation Masterclass edition of Negotiate Anything, Kwame Christian curates three eye-opening conversations that challenge everything you think you know about introversion, persuasion, and performance. From bestselling author Matthew Pollard’s journey from terrified door-to-door salesman to the #1 rep in the largest sales organization in the Southern Hemisphere, to expert insights on energy, silence, storytelling, and strategy, this episode reveals why introverts may have a natural edge in sales, networking, and negotiation.
You’ll discover:
-
Why introversion isn’t about shyness—but energy.
-
How systems and preparation outperform “winging it” every time.
-
The storytelling framework that can make you 22x more memorable.
-
How silence, listening, and strategic pacing become persuasion superpowers.
-
Practical ways introverts (and extroverts) can negotiate more effectively.
Whether you identify as an introvert, extrovert, or somewhere in between, this episode will reshape how you see communication, confidence, and influence. Because success doesn’t belong to the loudest voice in the room — it belongs to the most strategic one.

What if the career you want is hiding on the other side of a conversation you’re afraid to have?
In this powerful episode of Negotiate Anything, host Kwame Christian sits down with Scott Anthony Barlow, founder of Happen to Your Career and newly minted #1 Amazon bestselling author, to unpack the hidden role that difficult conversations play in career fulfillment and success. Together, they explore why so many professionals negotiate themselves into roles they don’t actually want — and how clarity, self-honesty, and truth-telling can completely change the outcome.
Scott shares eye-opening stories from his coaching practice, including real-life examples of professionals who redefined their roles, negotiated more autonomy, and even worked fewer hours while earning more — simply by getting clear on what they wanted and having the courage to ask for it. The conversation dives deep into introspection, cognitive distortions, and why telling the truth is often the most underrated (and effective) negotiation strategy.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, undervalued, or uncertain about your next career move, this episode will challenge the way you think about work, negotiation, and success — and give you practical tools to start creating a career that actually fits.

14 February 2026, 10:00 am - 1 hour 17 minutesNegotiating with Confidence: Knowing When to Walk Away
What if confidence in negotiation isn’t something you’re born with — but something you can systematically build, rep by rep?
In this Negotiation Masterclass episode of Negotiate Anything, Kwame Christian brings together three powerhouse perspectives to break down what real confidence looks like at the negotiation table — and how to develop it when the stakes are high. You’ll hear from an NFL agent negotiating multimillion-dollar contracts, a salary negotiation coach helping professionals claim what they’re worth, and a negotiation trainer redefining collaboration and leadership under pressure .
Across these conversations, you’ll learn how leverage is created long before the deal begins, why preparation beats bravado every time, and how confident negotiators manage emotions — both theirs and the other side’s — without backing down or burning bridges. From navigating salary talks to handling aggressive counterparts and knowing when to walk away, this episode shows how confidence isn’t about being loud or forceful — it’s about clarity, strategy, and self-trust.
If you want to negotiate with calm authority, make smarter decisions under pressure, and turn difficult conversations into opportunities, this masterclass will give you the mindset and tools to do exactly that.

- 42 minutes 56 secondsThe Negotiation Skill NOBODY Teaches YOU: How to Fail Well
Failure isn’t the end of a negotiation — it’s the beginning of your biggest breakthrough.
In this thought-provoking episode of Negotiate Anything, Kwame Christian sits down with renowned negotiation expert Joshua Weiss to tackle one of the most uncomfortable — and misunderstood — topics in negotiation: failure. Why do smart, capable negotiators struggle so deeply after setbacks? And more importantly, how can failure become a strategic advantage instead of a source of shame?
Joshua introduces the powerful ideas behind his book Getting Back to the Table, breaking down why most people learn the wrong lessons from failed negotiations — and how that mistake quietly sabotages future outcomes. Together, they explore the psychology of failure, the role of ego and identity, and the critical difference between blaming yourself, blaming others, and facing the cold, hard facts with clarity and resilience.
This episode goes far beyond tactics. It’s a deep dive into mindset, self-awareness, and personal growth — revealing how negotiators, leaders, parents, and professionals can reframe failure as a tool for learning, confidence, and long-term success. If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation replaying what went wrong, this conversation will change how you see failure forever.
