The Ellen Fisher Podcast

Show Notes

One of the reasons why I started this podcast was to expand my passion of engaging in deep conversations with others because, meaningful dialogue lights me up. We could all benefit from expanding our healthy communication skills, which is why I was so excited to talk to Richard Newman, a keynote speaker, coach, speechwriter, and an award-winning expert in communication, storytelling, and influence.

Richard Newman is an introvert who has dedicated decades to understanding and improving communication. He is the CEO and Founder of UK Body Talk, a global leader in training on the science of communication. His team has coached over 120,000 people including Microsoft, London Business School, NYU, and many more Fortune 500 companies. This episode covers how to cultivate healthy communication in all kinds of relationships including work, romantic, family, and friends.

In this episode, I sit down with filmmaker Benjamin Nolot, who is the founder and CEO of Exodus Cry, a non profit fighting to end trafficking and sexual exploitation. We discuss the rapidly changing world of commercial sexual exploitation and the rise of platforms like OnlyFans, the emergence of AI-generated pornography, and how these technologies are reshaping cultural attitudes toward sex, intimacy, and human dignity. Benjamin also shares insights from his latest documentary, Buying Her, which exposes the often-ignored demand side of the sex trade: the men who purchase sex.

In this episode, I sit down with debt elimination expert and The Ramsey Show co-host Jade Warshaw to unpack a truth most people never hear: your money problem isn’t about your income — it’s about your emotions. Jade shares her own journey from financial stress and overwhelm to becoming debt-free, and the rock-bottom moment that forced her to confront the beliefs and behaviors driving her spending. We talk about why making more money rarely fixes what’s actually broken, the biggest lie keeping families financially stuck, and why so many high-income earners are still drowning in debt.
