Human Connection in the AI Era | Two NAWBO Presidents on Leadership, Authenticity & Business

Human Connection in the AI Era. Two NAWBO Presidents on Leadership, Authenticity & Business. What happens when one powerhouse leader passes the baton to the next? In this special episode of the Sold Out Sales Podcast, Tish sits down with Joanna Horton McPherson, current President of NAWBO Phoenix and founder of Women of Influence, for a conversation about leadership, mentorship, authenticity, and the future of human connection in an AI-driven world. This episode marks a historic moment as Tish steps into the role of Joanna’s successor as incoming NAWBO Phoenix President. Together, they reflect on their year working side by side, what it means to lead with purpose, and the importance of building genuine relationships in business and life. Joanna shares her unique journey from attending Harvard in her 30s to working in mental health, running an acting studio, and eventually becoming a leadership coach and advocate for women in business. She explains how those experiences shaped her perspective on communication and why “performing” is not always the same as being authentic. She also shares the incredible story of how her parents met through the CIA, with both of her grandfathers working as agents. As AI-curated branding and online competition continue to grow, Joanna offers her perspective on why authentic, in-person experiences may become even more valuable in the future, with people increasingly seeking out real and “organic” human connection. This conversation explores women in leadership, mission-driven entrepreneurship, personal growth, and the balance between technology and authenticity in modern business.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re posting consistently but not getting responses, this conversation will help you shift from simply “posting and hoping” to creating real conversations that lead to opportunities. Social media is a powerful tool for generating interest and opening the door to communication, but the key is using your content strategically.
