What if every conversation is a transaction - but connection is the only currency that matters?
In this episode of Empowering Leaders, Luke Darcy is joined by Todd Duncan - world-renowned mindset coach, NYT bestselling author and global speaker - whose work on transformation, leadership and culture has impacted millions around the world.
As the founder and CEO of the Duncan Group, Todd has authored 17 books and been dubbed by CNN as the "Tony Robbins of the mortgage industry."
Todd’s story is one of transformation. From battling burnout and depression to becoming one of the most sought-after voices on leadership and resilience, he shares the hard-won lessons that shaped his approach to life and business. The conversation also dives into why trust beats tactics, how self-leadership fuels everything, and the quiet power of emotional connection - in sales, in parenting, and in the moments that matter most.
According to Todd, emotional connection always outperforms pressure - whether you're making a sale or having a tough conversation with someone you love.
You’ll hear Luke reference his amazing conversation with Dr Michael Hewitt-Gleeson Part 1 & Part 2
