233 - The ABCs of Charisma - Leadership Lessons from Milam Miller

Milam Miller, founder of Be Confident and Kind and author of The Charisma Craft, joins Craig Andrews to challenge everything we think we know about charisma. A former executive for a billionaire sports team owner and affectionately nicknamed the “real-life Ted Lasso,” Milam shares how charisma isn’t innate—it’s a skill any leader can develop.

Through bold stories and sharp insight, Milam breaks down his ABCs of Charisma: Authenticity, Boldness, and Curiosity. He reveals how top leaders like Jack Welch and Sam Walton mastered connection through confidence and kindness—not through dominance or ego. Whether it’s helping sales teams outperform AI or guiding executives to connect instead of command, Milam’s approach is rooted in relational leadership, not transactional tactics.

This episode is packed with practical tools for modern leaders who want to elevate influence, build trust, and create high-performing teams that thrive on human connection.
