Robert Krueger & Anthony Shop Reflect on Season 1

 

In this special episode, hosts Robert Krueger and Anthony Shop reflect on the successful first season of their show. They share their excitement about engaging influencers from diverse industries and backgrounds, from entertainment to diplomacy and business. Krueger shares his initial skepticism about influencers but is impressed by their depth and impactful stories. 

The hosts discuss authentic storytelling, like Danica Roem's political career inspired by heavy metal music, and the importance of owning one's narrative. They also highlight Gina Schaefer’s hardware stores, praising her commitment to community and the growth mindset in staying true to authentic values. 

Krueger and Shop also discuss how they brought Matthew Algeo onto the show to talk about his unique approach to presidential biographies. Algeo focuses on obscure moments to reveal the truth about a person, as seen in his book "Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure," which covers a road trip Truman took with his wife after leaving the White House. The hosts connect Algeo's work to Stacey Hanke's insights on influence, highlighting the importance of authenticity in leadership.

The hosts also share stories of guests like Jean-Claude Brizard and Anthony Woods, who were motivated to make a difference because of personal experiences, emphasizing the impact of sharing stories to connect with an audience

Throughout the season, they interviewed around two dozen Chief Influencers, and look forward to continuing the conversations and recognitions in the upcoming seasons. Listeners are encouraged to join them next time and nominate deserving leaders at chiefinfluencer.com.
