Happening November 9, 2025! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bookthinkers.com/book-thinkers-live-2025 In today’s episode, we have the pleasure to interview Milam Miller, author of The Charisma Craft: A Modern Leadership Guide to Enhance Your "Rizz" Factor. Milam is a keynote speaker, leadership coach, and sales performance consultant who’s been described by clients as “the real-life Ted Lasso.” Over his career in sports and entertainment, he negotiated more than $100 million in commercial revenue, but it was his passion for soft skills and human connection that led him to launch BCK – Be Confident and Kind, a movement helping leaders create stronger teams and drive better results. In this episode, you’ll learn why charisma is not a personality trait but a craft you can develop, how to balance confidence with kindness to influence others authentically, and why boldness and curiosity are the currencies of modern leadership. We hope you enjoy this incredible conversation with Milam Miller.
