Own the Room is where high-level communication stops being a mystery and becomes a skill you can master.
Hosted by Jake Stahl — author of Own the Room: How to Be Seen, Heard, and Respected, creator of STRATA™, and the mind behind Create a Profile Picture — this show pulls back the curtain on the psychology behind presence, persuasion, and performance. Each episode explores the invisible captions people broadcast through their posture, timing, tone, and energy… the ones that decide whether you get heard, dismissed, or instantly trusted.
You’ll learn how to read people in real time, adjust your delivery so it lands with authority, and speak directly to the decision-maker instead of the performer. Through raw conversations, sharp breakdowns, and stories that hit uncomfortably close to home, Jake shows you how to command a room without forcing it — by understanding what people aren’t saying out loud.
If you’re a founder, fractional exec, leader, or anyone who needs to pitch, persuade, or influence under pressure… this is the show that teaches you the mechanics behind being taken seriously.
Don’t perform. Don’t posture.
Learn to read the room — and own it.
