The Power of Purpose with Cindy Sirinya Bishop.

In this episode, I sit down with Cindy Sirinya Bishop — Actress, Advocate, and CEO of Dragonfly 360, Asia’s leading summit on conscious leadership and inner transformation.

Cindy’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. From winning Miss Thailand World 1996 to hosting Asia’s Next Top Model, she has evolved from being one of Asia’s most recognisable faces to one of its most courageous voices.

As a UN Women Regional Ambassador and founder of the “Don’t Tell Me How to Dress” movement, Cindy is redefining how influence can be used for impact — challenging cultural norms, championing gender equality, and creating spaces for authentic dialogue and transformation across Asia.

In this conversation, we explore:

- Failure as a signal
- How to deal with vulnerability
- How to deal with imposter syndrome
- The balance between vulnerability and leadership
- Scaling Dragonfly 360’s mission across Asia and beyond
- What it really means to lead with purpose in a world that often rewards perfection

Cindy’s story is proof that transformation starts when one person decides to speak truth to power and lead from love, not fear.

This must be one of the most incredible conversations I have had the privilege of having to date on the show.

I wanted to get this out to you asap, because it is filled with actionable and practical tweaks you can make to your communication that can dramatically boost your persuasive abilities which in turn radically changes the trajectory of your life.

What does it really take to negotiate billion-dollar deals across six continents?
In this episode, Tim Castle sits down with Mike Inman - a global negotiation trainer who’s led over 1,000 commercial deals worth more than $1 billion, trained 8,000+ professionals, and transformed how organizations think about value, influence, and trust.

Mike has had a dynamic career, MGM International Resorts, American West Airlines, to IAC.

Now he's one of the top negotiation trainers in the world, Mike dropped some serious negotiation knowledge, we discuss:

• Viral sound bites vs real world negotiation
• Crisis Negotiation vs Business Negotiation
• Tricking the buyer vs experienced negotiators
• The difference between practicing negotiation and mastering it
• How to make the other side happy and achieve your goals
• How to navigate high-stakes deals, impasses, and emotional pressure
• What AI can (and can’t) replace in human negotiation
• Why authenticity and empathy are your ultimate power moves
• How to save your team from lay offs
• Real empathy vs fake empathy

Pay attention who are doing the things you aspire to do one day. Sales people listen up - "Don't say "yes" all the time, dare to become the trusted advisor".

Mike breaks down the real psychology of negotiation - not tricks or tactics, but how elite performers prepare, connect, and create win-win outcomes that last.

This one is packed with frameworks, stories, and mindset shifts from a man who’s negotiated everywhere from MGM Resorts to American Airlines to defense contracts.
