Today Laura Cox Kaplan joins the show to share insight into the power and importance of influence—and how to sustain it. Drawing from her work in politics and policy, as well as her experience moving into a new path in life that felt more meaningful to her, Laura breaks down key micro habits that help form and foster influence.

Ideas Worth Sharing:
- “When you career pivot, you make a big life change. When you’re weathering some kind of storm, when you want to sell an idea or build your business or attract clients—it’s all those micro habits, ultimately, that are really important building blocks.” - Laura Cox Kaplan
- “Our country is very divided at the moment, so it can be hard to find that common ground. Or to really sit down and check your emotion at the door, really listen with curiosity and a mindset of learning versus convincing that person of what you think is the right answer.” - Laura Cox Kaplan
- “To me, retirement means to be a lifelong learner, to continue to challenge myself, to try new things, to not be afraid. What that looks like? I don’t know.” - Laura Cox Kaplan
