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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
