Episode 054 - Influence Every Day with Dr. Ed Tori

“No amount of guilt can change the past. No amount of worry can change the future.” So why do we keep living in both?

In this episode, Dr. Ed Tori unpacks a 1400-year-old quote from Umar ibn al-Khattab - a timeless framework for navigating regret, anxiety, self-compassion, and trust in the midst of responsibility.

You’ll explore:

• Why guilt is powerless to rewrite what’s already been written.

• How worry masquerades as preparation while robbing you of peace.

• What it actually means to “go easy on yourself” - and why it’s not about giving up.

• The difference between outcomes and obligations - and how that distinction fuels purposeful action.

• What to do when you feel like something should have been yours… but wasn’t.

This episode is more than reflection - it’s a reset.

For your thoughts.

For your effort.

For your peace of mind.

Whether you’re haunted by a past moment or bracing yourself for a future one, this conversation brings you back to the only place you have any power: right now.

There’s a massive difference between the people you spend time with and the time you spend with people.

One shapes who you’re becoming.

The other shapes how others become after encountering you.

In this episode, Dr. Ed Tori breaks down two deceptively similar phrases that hold the keys to your influence, your relationships, and your legacy. You’ll learn why being intentional about your proximity—and your presence—is one of the most powerful things you can do.

• Why “ambient influence” is silently shaping you every day

• The Jim Rohn quote you’ve heard—but redefined

• How to stop being the echo of your environment and start becoming the architect of your impact

• Why 10 seconds of intentional presence can outweigh an hour of surface-level interaction

• The single question to ask before every conversation: Who walks into the room when I walk into the room?

“It’s not about the duration of time—it’s about the depth of presence.”

What shows up when you show up?

In today’s reflective and practical episode, Dr. Ed Tori breaks down a principle that quietly governs every great interaction, relationship, and result:

👉 It starts before it begins.

Whether you’re leading a meeting, pitching a client, parenting your kids, or changing your life—success hinges on what happens long before the moment itself. From managing your state… to prepping your message… to building skills… to shaping your character… influence begins long before you speak a single word.

• Why managing your state is not the deepest layer of preparation

• The four layers that influence outcomes—before you even enter the room

• How character isn’t just what you have, it’s what shows up

• A practical reframe that connects emotional regulation, preparation, skill, and identity

• What makes a powerful first impression in a world full of authenticity detectors

If you’ve ever wondered why some people seem to radiate influence the moment they arrive… this episode gives you the roadmap.
