You’re Not Being Ignored—Your Message Is | The LIV Lab Episode 30 ft. Carmine Gallo

Saison 2 · Épisode 30

mardi 3 février 2026 • Durée 59:50

What if the problem isn’t your ideas, but just how they’re landing?

You can be smart, prepared, and genuinely onto something… and still watch your message float right past the room. Painful. Confusing. Weirdly common.

In this episode of The LIV Lab, I sit down with Carmine Gallo, who’s spent decades studying why some messages stick—and others quietly disappear, no matter how good they are.

This isn’t about talking louder, adding more slides, or using bigger words. It’s about understanding how humans actually pay attention, why simplicity is so hard (and so powerful), and what storytelling has to do with getting people to lean in—at work, in interviews, and even in your relationships.

We talk about persuasion without the salesy energy, clarity without dumbing things down, and why being “interesting” has very little to do with being flashy. There’s also a reality check on AI, attention spans, and the myth that great communicators are just born that way.

If you’ve ever thought, “I know this makes sense—why isn’t it clicking?” This conversation might finally give that question a shape.

The Business of Being You | The LIV Lab Episode 29 ft. Jeff Burgess from The BurgeCast

mercredi 14 janvier 2026 • Durée 21:33

What if you ran your life the way great founders run their companies?

In this episode of The LIV Lab, I feature a blogcast by Jeff Burgess, founder of BCD Video and author of It Worked for Me. Jeff shares ten business principles that helped him build a $100 million company — from trusting your gut to holding yourself accountable.

Throughout the episode, I connect these ideas to everyday life through one central theme: you are your business. Your values shape your culture. Your actions are your product. And your reputation is your brand.

As the new year begins, this episode encourages you to aim high, move forward without waiting for perfect clarity, and build trust through confidence, listening, and integrity.

Hard Work Is Not Enough: Why Agency Matters | The LIV Lab Episode 20 ft. Libardo Lara Peñaranda

Saison 2 · Épisode 20

mardi 26 août 2025 • Durée 38:16

What happens when you stop waiting for opportunities and start creating them?

In this episode, I sit down with Libardo Lara Peñaranda, Principal Partner Technical Specialist at IBM, whose story shows how taking agency can transform your career and your life. Growing up in Colombia, Libardo began in mechanical engineering but made the bold choice to add a second degree in systems and software. That decision set him on a path that carried him from designing his first system for a nonprofit, to solving complex data problems for banks and telecoms at IBM, to moving to the U.S. for a master’s in data science at Johns Hopkins—all while balancing work and family.

We dig deep into what taking agency really looks like: making decisions before you feel fully ready, planning your next step even while excelling in your current role, and learning to balance sacrifice with vision. Along the way, Libardo opens up about the world of data science—what the work actually involves day to day, how math and statistics underpin the field, and where AI is heading as it becomes an everyday tool rather than a job replacer.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but not steering where you’re headed, this episode is a reminder that agency—not chance—is what shapes your future.

Saying No to the Ordinary: Anna’s Path to Becoming Armenia’s First Analog Astronaut | The LIV Lab Episode 19 ft. Anna Harutyunyan

Saison 2 · Épisode 19

mardi 19 août 2025 • Durée 48:04

How do you carve your own path when the well-worn ones don’t fit?

For Anna Harutyunyan, the answer started with walking away. She stepped back from a corporate software career that didn’t excite her, held out for the right role in a competitive analog mission, and embraced the unknown until she became Armenia’s first analog astronaut.

Anna’s journey spans robotics engineering studies in Germany, leading a NASA EL Space engineering team, conducting cognitive performance research on astronauts, and training with international crews in Armenia, Poland, and Switzerland. She is also the founder of Rocket Space Academy, working to expand Armenia’s presence in the space sector, and host of the Mission Analog podcast, amplifying the work of analog astronauts worldwide.

In this episode, Anna shares how persistence, self-reflection, and even imposter syndrome shaped her into the leader and innovator she is today. From living in simulated space habitats to presenting research at global conferences, her story proves that turning down the wrong opportunities can be just as important as chasing the right ones.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re on the right track—or wondered what it takes to transform childhood passions into groundbreaking work in space and robotics—Anna’s story will leave you rethinking the power of “no” and the possibilities it can open.

Saison 2 · Épisode 18

mardi 12 août 2025 • Durée 46:22

Could following your passions—not a checklist—be the real secret to getting into your dream school?

In this episode, I talk with Abhinav Agarwal, a Stanford graduate with a master’s in artificial intelligence and the CTO of KOS AI. Guided by his core value of technology for social change, Abhinav’s journey spans founding an education nonprofit in high school, writing a book to demystify the scholarship process for international students, and now developing a non-invasive wristband that could transform life for millions living with diabetes.

We explore how embracing genuine passions—not resume checklists—opened unexpected doors, why creative outlets like tango and photography can enrich a technical career, and what it’s really like to lead a health tech startup through innovation and clinical trials. Along the way, Abhinav shares insights on staying true to your values, navigating big career decisions, and designing technology that touches lives.

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn curiosity into impact—or what it takes to balance ambition, creativity, and purpose—this conversation will leave you inspired to find your own guiding principle and follow it.

Saison 2 · Épisode 17

mercredi 6 août 2025 • Durée 37:41

What separates those who dream of becoming doctors from those who actually make it?

In this episode of The LIV Lab, host Livia Roder sits down with Dr. Ravi Kumar, a neurosurgeon whose journey combines years of rigorous training, an insatiable curiosity about the human brain, and a deep commitment to healing. Dr. Kumar shares how he went from studying marine biology to discovering his passion for medicine, and ultimately, neurosurgery. He reflects on the highs and lows of medical school and residency, from the grueling hours and life-or-death moments to the joy of saving patients against the odds.

As a former member of the Texas A&M Medical School Admissions Committee, Dr. Kumar also offers an insider’s perspective on what makes a strong medical school application and what aspiring doctors should focus on to stand out. He talks candidly about perseverance, burnout, and the importance of truly loving the path you choose—because medicine is not just a career, but a calling.

Whether you’re fascinated by the brain, considering a future in medicine, or simply inspired by stories of passion and purpose, this episode invites you to discover the mind behind the scalpel.
