How to Turn Blank Stares Into Buy-In ft. Joel Benge | Episode 277

What do NASA, Nickelodeon, and the Department of Homeland Security have in common? Joel Benge.

In this episode, we sit down with the “Nerd That Talks Good” himself to explore why even the smartest tech leaders lose their audience, and how to fix it. 

Joel unpacks the psychology behind “blank stare moments,” the power of people-first messaging, and why logic alone doesn’t win hearts or deals. If you’re a leader, founder, or communicator in a complex industry, this conversation is your roadmap to clarity and connection.
