Victoria Nelson Interview | The Power of the Ask, Negotiation, Leadership & Communication

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Victoria Nelson, founder of Power of the Ask, acclaimed author, negotiation expert, executive communication advisor, and former professional photographer.

Trained at Harvard and Columbia, Victoria has spent more than two decades navigating some of the most competitive and high-stakes creative industries in the world. Today, she helps leaders understand the power of asking—and how the right question, delivered with confidence and strategy, can transform negotiations, relationships, careers, and organizations.

Victoria's personal journey is just as compelling as her professional story. Raised in a post-Soviet system, she learned early that authority isn't always simply given—it is often negotiated. At 21, she immigrated first to London and then to the United States, building a new life and career from the ground up.

Before becoming an executive communication and conflict advisor, Victoria spent nearly 20 years working in New York's highly competitive, reputation-driven creative industries. She worked on major global campaigns involving millions of dollars, large production teams, demanding clients, and public-facing results where communication and decision-making mattered enormously.

That experience became the foundation for her work today.

Through The Power of the Ask, Victoria teaches leaders how to navigate difficult conversations, negotiate effectively, communicate with authority, manage conflict, and advocate for themselves without sacrificing relationships or authenticity.

In this fascinating conversation, we explore negotiation, executive communication, leadership, conflict resolution, asking for what you want, confidence, career advancement, immigration, entrepreneurship, photography, creative industries, professional relationships, and the psychology behind effective communication.

From her base in New York City, Victoria shares the remarkable story of how she transformed decades of high-pressure professional experience into a powerful framework for helping others find their voice and learn to ask for what they need, want, and deserve.

Lawrence Udeigwe Interview | Four Lemmas, Jazz, Mathematics & the Meaning of Music

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Nigerian-born, New York-based artist Lawrence Udeigwe, a fascinating musician, composer, vocalist, pianist, mathematician, educator, and interdisciplinary thinker.

In this episode, we dive into his remarkable new 2026 album, Four Lemmas, and the extraordinary intersection of jazz, mathematics, neuroscience, music, teaching, perception, identity, and human expression.

Four Lemmas is an eight-track concept project built around mathematical ideas including orthogonality, sparse matrices, local maxima, and stable equilibrium. Rather than simply translating mathematics into music, Udeigwe uses these structures as lenses through which to explore emotion, identity, perception, clarity, independence, growth, and meaning.

Udeigwe's artistic and academic worlds are deeply connected. He works as a Professor of Mathematics at Manhattan University, while his creative life encompasses music, composition, vocals, piano, keyboards, writing, performance, and interdisciplinary exploration. His work is guided by the idea that structure shapes perception—and perception becomes expression.

On Four Lemmas, Lawrence performs alongside Steph Clement and Wayne Tucker on trumpet, Josh Green on drums, and Rade Bema on bass, with mixing and mastering by Dave Darlington. The album brings together modern jazz, soul, African influences, groove, poetry, and mathematical concepts into a singular musical vision.

In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore jazz and mathematics, music and neuroscience, Nigerian musical influences, composition, creativity, teaching, cognition, philosophy, identity, improvisation, perception, and the creative thinking behind Four Lemmas.

It's a fascinating journey through the mind of an artist who refuses to put music and intellectual inquiry into separate boxes.

Dr. Lisha Antiqua Interview | Healing, Self-Care, Personal Transformation & Reclaiming Your Life

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. In this powerful episode, we talk with author, trainer, transformational educator, and founder of Your Own University, Dr. Lisha Antiqua, about healing, self-care, personal transformation, intimacy, self-trust, and creating a life beyond the experiences that have shaped us.

Dr. Lisha is the creator of the Amazing YOU and Reclaim Intimacy Method and has been recognized as America's Premier Expert in Self-Care. For decades, she has studied transpersonal psychology, human behavior, personal transformation, healing, and recovery from childhood sexual abuse.

After working with thousands of survivors, Dr. Lisha recognized a powerful pattern: healing can sometimes become centered entirely around what happened in the past, while the equally important question of what comes next can remain unanswered.

Her philosophy is rooted in the belief that healing was never meant to become your identity.

Today, Dr. Lisha helps women reclaim the parts of themselves that trauma and difficult experiences may have disrupted—including their voice, value, self-trust, relationships, intimacy, pleasure, purpose, confidence, and ability to create a life they genuinely love.

A prolific author, Dr. Lisha has written five books and continues to help people transform the way they understand healing, identity, relationships, and personal growth.

In this deeply meaningful conversation, we explore personal transformation, self-care, healing from trauma, self-trust, intimacy, relationships, purpose, resilience, human behavior, transpersonal psychology, recovery, empowerment, and building a meaningful life after difficult experiences.

This conversation isn't simply about surviving the past. It's about discovering the possibility of creating what comes next.

Liza Katsman Interview | Executive Coaching, Leadership & Empowering Entrepreneurs

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. In this episode, we talk with Liza Katsman, an ICF-certified executive coach and facilitator for entrepreneurs and leaders, about leadership, personal transformation, entrepreneurship, and finding the path between where you are and where you want to be.

Liza works with leaders and entrepreneurs who are ready to make meaningful changes in their professional and personal lives. Her coaching helps clients gain clarity, strengthen their leadership abilities, navigate transitions, and take purposeful steps toward their goals.

Her own journey is a powerful example of transformation. Liza began her career in education, transitioned into the corporate world, and eventually built her own coaching practice. Along the way, she experienced firsthand the profound difference between great leadership and poor leadership—how inspiring leaders can bring out the best in people while ineffective leadership can undermine confidence, motivation, and organizational culture.

A pivotal moment came when Liza worked with a coach who helped her recognize something important: the path she wanted was available to her, even though nobody in her immediate circle had taken that particular path before.

That realization ultimately helped lead her toward executive coaching and the work she does today.

In this engaging conversation, we explore executive coaching, leadership development, entrepreneurship, career transitions, personal growth, confidence, decision-making, professional transformation, workplace leadership, and the courage to create a path that may look different from everyone else's.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, executive, manager, emerging leader, career changer, or someone considering your next chapter, Liza's story offers an inspiring reminder that sometimes the biggest obstacle isn't whether a path exists—it's whether we can envision ourselves taking it.

Enjoy this insightful conversation with Liza Katsman.
