In this episode, Julian Treasure — renowned sound expert and TED speaker with over 100 million views — joins The Success Nuggets Podcast to explore the profound difference between hearing and listening. Drawing from a lifetime shaped by music, business, and deep curiosity, Julian reveals how conscious listening is one of the most underappreciated yet transformative skills we can develop.
We discuss why most people confuse hearing, a passive ability, with listening, an active and trainable skill that shapes relationships, business success, and even societal wellbeing. From the staggering $8.8 trillion cost of poor listening in business, to the personal power of reconnecting with silence, Julian offers both insight and practical guidance for anyone seeking deeper human connection in a noisy world.
He also shares a look inside The Listening Society — a global community dedicated to regenerating listening as a core human skill. It’s a place to share stories, solve real-world challenges, and reimagine how we use sound to influence, empathize, and lead. For a limited time, listeners can join with a free seven-day trial, including direct access to Julian and exclusive bonus material. https://betterlistening.today/yes
This is more than a conversation. It’s an invitation to step out of your listening bunker and tune into the world — and each other — with fresh ears.
🟡 His Golden Nugget?
"Silence. Re-establish your connection with silence. Sit quietly every day for 3 minutes to help your listening."
This simple practice, shared by Julian Treasure on The Success Nuggets Podcast, is a powerful reminder that the foundation of great listening starts with a few moments of intentional quiet.
