Hi, I’m Brian Miller.

Human Connection Specialist

I work with organizations, educators, and healthcare facilities who want to build an environment where everyone feels heard, understood, and valued. The desire for human connection is universal, and more crucial now than ever.

I’ve spoken and consulted across five continents. My TEDx talk “How to Magically Connect with Anyone” has been viewed over 3 million times worldwide. Publishers Weekly raved about my first book Three New People, “A cheery, instructive debut… Miller brilliantly outlines a system for deepening relationships.”

And my podcast Beyond Networking features intimate conversations with legends and leaders of industries, including Seth Godin, Shama Hyder, Julian Treasure, and Zoe Chance.

What’s going on here? That’s what Tijana Buric asked me on her podcast Career Alchemist, where I was recently honored to be a guest.

The Magic of Influence: From Card Tricks to Speaking Gigs with Brian Miller

The Magic of Influence: From Card Tricks to Speaking Gigs with Brian Miller

When you’re a magician the most important part of your job is not tricking people. It’s connecting with people. Because fooling people is easy, but making people enjoy being fooled? That’s the real magic. And the only way to do that is to create a shared experience in which everyone feels heard, understood, and valued. Being a professional magician for 10 years taught me to make instant connections with perfect strangers, and that skills has led to every opportunity in my life, personally and professionally. I recently had the great pleasure of sitting down with Gabe Marusca on his podcast The Nomad Solopreneur Show.
