Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we welcome back author, communication strategist, and behavioral psychology specialist Jake Stahl for Part II of our conversation. We first explored his full story in 2023, and now he returns to dive deeply into his new book, Own the Room: How to Communicate to Be Seen, Heard and Respected.
In Own the Room, Jake goes far beyond surface-level communication tips and into the psychology of presence. Most leaders lose the room in the first five seconds. This book is the playbook for getting it back—and keeping it. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and his proprietary STRATATM framework, Jake teaches readers how to read people in real time, identify resistance before it surfaces, and turn stalled conversations into momentum.
We also explore Jake’s personal journey—from addiction to redemption, and how that transformation shaped his understanding of influence, communication, and leadership. This conversation blends science, story, and practical insight for anyone who wants to communicate with Clarity, confidence, and impact.
