Why does the sales process often feel uncomfortable? In this episode, we sit down with Ray Higdon, founder of Higdon Group, to unpack a more authentic, ethical approach to selling that actually works.
Ray shares his journey into entrepreneurship and the moment he realized that traditional “hard sell” tactics didn’t align with his values or deliver sustainable results. From there, he built a business focused on helping people close more sales by leading with curiosity, integrity, and genuine connection.
We dive into why high-pressure sales methods often backfire, what authentic selling really looks like in practice, and how asking better questions can transform your conversations. Ray also breaks down how to identify whether a prospect is not a fit or just needs more clarity and trust before making a decision.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos.

The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper.
