Welcome to the Academy of Influence
I’m Kian—a music producer, coach, and lifelong communication enthusiast who believes the world’s most powerful currency isn’t money or talent—it’s influence.
This podcast is where I explore the power of communication and how it shapes the way we live, work, and connect. I sit down with friends from all walks of life to ask: What makes your world pop? Because I truly believe everyone has something worth sharing—and everyone has the desire to make an impact.
Whether you’re here to build confidence, express yourself better, or create meaningful change—this is where influence begins.
