Youtube Be True, Be You: How Authenticity Drives Success, with Niiamah Ashong
===
[00:00:00]
Shawn Buttner: If you want to be more successful out in the world, you need to be more authentically yourself. The more that you can act within your values, within your beliefs, within the goals you have for yourself, for your family, for society and the world at large, the more you act on the ideas that you have for yourself and act with your full heart.
The more you're able to connect with people and provide your unique value, your unique voice in, leaving the world a better place. Uh, in today's episode of the Meaningful Revolution podcast, our guest is Niyama Oshong, founder of the Outliers Edge. Now, Niyama has been helping people for 10 years, help find what makes them unique and to lead as their authentic selves.
Our conversation. covers what is the outliers edge, what goes wrong when people chase their authentic selves, so it's not all rosy, um, how to [00:01:00] claim your authenticity and being 100 percent you, the hidden costs of sharing your authentic self out in the world and the hidden costs when you don't, and finally, the value of integrating all areas of your life to create meaningful work and build genuine connections.
This is the Meaningful Revolution Podcast. I'm your host, Shawn Buttner, and we're here to help creators focus on the performance and personal development side of being a creator. With that, let's jump into figuring out what the Outlier's Edge is.
Wh at Is The Outliers Edge?
---
Niiamah Ashong: you tell me you define the outliers edge
I love that.
outliers said two things. One of it, it's a business. And the other one is that it's podcast ultimately, that I do focuses on how do we take who are naturally gifted and doing something different from others and help them continue to lean into
the edge of their greatness, like,
the edge of what is new for [00:02:00] them.
And the edge of,
who they are,
what gives them that competitive
advantage,
Everything I do in Outliers Edge is
a movement it's a movement for
And so
I
have a podcast, but I also do coaching transformations, all related to how do we keep helping this group of people keep up leveling
and
see things from new perspectives.
Shawn Buttner: Right
on. So
say it's
a movement. you know, most stand for things and stand against other things.
could you share, what
the Outlier's Edge movement is about?
Niiamah Ashong: Yeah,
I'll tell
you what, what it
it means
me.
Mm-Hmm. And, and someone, someone told me, they said. I was struggling to make this into a movement,
And he said Hey, look, if you want to make this into a then, so I'll share
with you the thing that moves me the most.
it's curious element,
Like, The fact that
who are incredible have
a
lot
gifts to offer.
They feel different. They feel isolated. They feel
alienated,
and they feel like they have
to be or [00:03:00] look
a certain way that doesn't align with them in order to be
accepted,
on the top
level, it's about business, underneath it all, it's about belonging.
this is a movement about
how can we continue to get
creators,
leaders, and
entrepreneurs to expand
how we approach life in a way that is still financially successful,
successful, like all the different
definitions of success for them
do it in a way has
them being all of who they are throughout.
I
look for the things
that make you different
most people on
planet are saying the
way we come together is to find
we have in common. But I believe that the real way we can really bring ourselves together
is through celebrated and
value and what makes us different. That's the,
underlying
If we
do that,
then
everyone belongs. It's like, Oh, what do you do differently than me?
Awesome.
Now we can create something
that couldn't have been made beforehand
we
didn't have each other's [00:04:00] unique skills and unique experiences to contribute that's the way I look at this
That's what drives
And
actually, I really appreciate you bringing me back into my whole body
my whole
posture
has
changed
Thank you.
so that
you
Shawn Buttner: about,
Niiamah Ashong: That idea of
being but like that's where you the belonging because you're outlier, not
the norm
there's some there. that was a
You're on top of the question
before I even
Yeah.
I think about
Like,
outliers are
a made up
it's not a real thing, right?
I
like to say that cause people
are like, what is it? I'm like, what I find is people self select, the elements is just what's been shown up.
it's
not like you're trying to
different.
You're just like with
everyone but there's something that happened
your life. There's
a way that you look
at life. you went abroad for five years and
came back and
that influenced how you see that influenced next steps that
you
took. And so like everyone who stayed on the path laid out for you, they're all [00:05:00] doing the next things related to But what happens when you're the person
I no
longer identify with this. I've had different types of experience. And how do you keep, how do you keep moving? How do you
growing?
And that's the difference that I love to like, keep elevating
Shawn Buttner: dovetails right
into my next question
Niiamah Ashong: Awesome.
Shawn Buttner: which is, in your life, as you've had accumulated experiences
and discovered what makes you unique,
how have you,
you tell a story about
how
you've adopted that new identity? You know,
I've seen
in my coaching practice.
you
abroad for five years, that informs how
you are. You come back
and your friends
that
you grew up with from high school think you're still
the
from high school,
and not this,
person who
has this new, whole new point of view and, and sense of, of life maybe.
From An Old Identity to You
---
Niiamah Ashong: I think, I'd any to speak to this
directly. It's to be
a little different than what I thought. But as soon as you said it, I'm like, I have to go here. So,
they live in a broad part.
that did happen for us. I was living in
New York city. [00:06:00] I love that spent a decade out there that my wife and I, to Singapore.
We spent four years out there. Great times overall.
The thing that you're talking about
is
when I actually went from, you're talking to me right now as Niiamah
as Ashong, but I went for almost 20 years, two decades as
a nickname of Nemo Ashong my identity,
who I saw myself as was nemo. ─
had
my own website,
personal
brand, on my resume,
when I meet people,
I'm like, yeah,
I was Nemo
I wasn't quiet about it, I had an experience where,
was not looking for this change to happen, but I was spending my time getting to know myself more.
putting myself in rooms with powerful coaches
I
was sitting around in a circle and
someone said to me, why do you use the name Nemo when you have this powerful name of Niiamah?
means no one in Latin,
And
I remember hearing it and thinking to myself, yeah, I hear you, but
I am
Nemo. [00:07:00] And right afterwards, someone else said
something and I
had been upset inside of that group.
that was a space where,
as a black man, I didn't know, I was like starting
learn like, Oh, can I be angry?
Can I like, this is a group that I
think can handle
Right. So
I was, I'm trying to,
to
express myself
see what
what does it like to,
out
in the world with can handle
all of
not
just
joyful joy, like jolly parts of
me. And
I expressed frustration. I said,
I
don't understand
you can't
understand me.
I'm going to, there's some new ways, I mean,
there's witches and
there's all these things in this room and I'm the one who's not understood someone leaned in
And
I'll never forget.
I can see him right now
in my mind as it's happening. He looked at me, he said, Nemo, I said, Nemo, can I say something?
basically boiled
down to the reason that we can't understand you is because you're going out of your way
speak,
be
flowery, to be,
be [00:08:00] smooth
and to be all around white. You're not just saying to say. You are a
black,
bold, beautiful man.
and it is not your
job to make other people feel safe.
I don't know what happened,
but in that experience,
what,
Something transformed inside of me. I actually imagine like this, like
chasm. Like this, this interdimensional
portal that went
some
red world. I can see it like in here.
And in
that portal Niiamah stepped out what ended up happening, I
talk
for, it felt like an hour, it might have only been five minutes,
but like, I'm over here
writing in my notebook, and I'm just like, am Niiamah
Shawn
I
am it occurred to me how much in
my life. I had tailored to make other people feel safe
from my smile, to the
that I explained
things, to even the name that I [00:09:00] was going And so. I had gone for two not two
sorry, two decades, 20
I remember leaving that
space
and just
letting people know,
like Nemo is complete.
He has done the work that he was
here to do.
from now on.
am Niiamah.
I called my parents up
and I said,
dad, you're probably
going to love this, but
I'm going by
the name you actually gave me, you know, and he was thrilled. He was thrilled, but it also opened up one of the most meaningful conversations like,
like that is. your most, like, It's most meaningful.
the, one of the
that's taken shifts that's taken place. And what I will, you asked me a question about how
Shawn Buttner: would you like me to still answer that question right now? No, no,
This is
amazing.
Niiamah Ashong: So, then it became what happens now, because I had built my business as [00:10:00] Nemo,
Every single video I made, every single article I had
written, my website, everything was Every person in my life knew me as They didn't even know that Niiamah was like, what that was.
And I think that the, the part that most clear for
me was once I was was only all I needed
do
was to inform people
of the and what, and this shift
actually ended up being something that was, people came on board.
And the reason
for that, I believe, is because I was
all in.
I was
not, you know what,
I'm
Niiamah. I grandfathered the people
who've known me for
a long, long
right?
I made a Facebook live and shared this and they watched to
this day. I still have people
call me Nemo
they feel
the energetic dissonance
because they understand this
was not just a random choice but it is who I am.
[00:11:00] everything
just like overnight, you couldn't find Nemo I didn't delete the past
because
it is still
me.
it makes this story, if someone goes out
there and they want to find it, go back to anything from 2019 and earlier Search me up as Nemo, you'll find it,
you know, and now I'm at a
a place where
call me
Nemo, I wouldn't like blink, you know, because I know I am you know, Does
that
Shawn Buttner: I hope people
are hearing
so
many lessons in
this, sharing of
claiming your identity,
committing
to who you are.
many people in the creator space feel like
they can't change.
I'm known for being the,
fish
filet cooker guy on TikTok. I'm known for
writing scary books,
I want to honor that,
Niiamah Ashong: they're parallel, so
please go ahead.
Shawn Buttner: this is who I am now,
or this is who
I've always been
and I'm stepping into that power
And just being not apologetic about it [00:12:00] and going for it, I think
is,
a great
that we, I know I've needed to hear this
over and over again in my life as someone who's introverted and
can be very guarded,
but when I show up for people as myself
that's where you feel the happiest. That's where you
feel the most connected
where you feel where you
you belong to, to
it
it full circle
to
movement you're trying to
You Can Be Authentic and Grow At The Same Time
---
Niiamah Ashong: Shawn, as you're saying this, one thing comes to mind
that I think would be really for for us creators There
was a component
of
this.I also recognize that
for
what I stand for belonging, I was out there, generally being an authenticity
I wouldn't have called myself that.
for me, wasn't the right, I realized that
I would
have been successful as Nemo because
it
opened up
a lot Probably still could But there was something else that became more important to me, To
be successful as me, to be successful as Niiamah,
know, and to say, if I am a,
like,
[00:13:00] when I am able
create my success Niiamah that's going to open up way more doors, not just
me, but
for the next person with whatever their name happens you know, and so
I hear you talk
about various
who are like, Hey, look, I've
gotten known for something, what comes to my mind is how amazing.
Is it going to be that you
get to show people that you can evolve and not lose everyone. that lesson is something like you can say it, it's another thing when you get a chance to see someone experience it. And so, I think that we,
creators we
have this opportunity to help our, our audiences and
those that follow us to
go on a journey
And to grow,
with us,
I think about that.
get excited.
there's
something in it that it just carries
more as you continue
grow to allow others to
see that growth and
it opens
up doors for
And I invite any
creators listening to this to like,
to lean in and let us know who you are now so we can also recognize who we are now.
Shawn Buttner: I,
love that [00:14:00] statement and to piggyback on that, we are multifaceted humans and we were not
meant to be one thing at one point in time.
we are.
the sum of all of our
experiences all the things we are going to do and all the things we have done
The Meaningful Revolution is all about
showing your humanity because, we
talk about things that you're passionate about,
and the things
you want
to
out in the world and leave in a better place,
and it takes
all of you, takes the father, the husband, the wife, the creator of
the
things you've done before and the things that you want to do out there.
That's just so cool. I
just had to say something
Niiamah Ashong: I appreciate it. I love how you
brought in all
things. Cause it's
like when you brought up all those different types of
roles or
ways that we can look at ourselves, like all I thought was like, oh yeah,
like I'm creator and everything.
Yes. There's times where I make videos. Yes. There's times I'll be on podcasts. Yes. There's times
working with my
clients And [00:15:00] This is
going to like, I'm going to go with it here, but like
the
way I brush my teeth creates something. You know, the way I hold a door open, create something.
there's something really powerful in what you're saying around, to me, it's
that level
of integrity and,
being able to show up fully,
like you get,
So I'd be like, own your outlier.
like, I think this is what people would want
from me, as opposed to being like, this is what I bring to the
table,
or let me just keep getting so great at
craft and do my part to
sure that
people get a chance to see it so that those
do love
what I'm doing are able
filter
themselves
my world.
My
job is to create and to create publicly,
create, to put it
it out
the world for
people to have responses to, you know,
like there's different ways to
look at it, but I think underneath
it all is like.
how can you show up as you and own your outlier?
There's another great artist
who does another awesome YouTube channel that does this, you know? And if
you only wanted this
one thing,
go [00:16:00] watch them. But now I'm doing What are your thoughts with that? So you really experienced this stuff. So I'm really curious about how, how transpires what
Shawn Buttner: yeah, I think I was kind of caught in another thought
to be completely honest, trying to keep the conversation going. I was trying to switch gears and now
now my mind's
Niiamah Ashong: yeah,
Shawn Buttner: let's switch it.
Niiamah Ashong: let's go with it.
Shawn Buttner: okay. That's, yeah, this is so much fun,
I was trying to,
keep in my mind,
as
We do this changing as we shift,
we find
the things that are meaningful in our lives,
What goes wrong
---
Shawn Buttner: we become the outliers that we're meant to be,
what goes wrong?
what are common things?
you seen working with outliers where like,
the common obstacles, the things were like, oh my gosh, I'm in it. What am
I doing?
what
kind of comes up there is one of the angles I wanted to explore.
Niiamah Ashong: Yeah. You
want to explore. that right now? [00:17:00]
Shawn Buttner: Yeah.
Niiamah Ashong: Yeah. All right. So if you're listening
to this just on audio, you couldn't see me just like full on cracking
when
you
ask what, what was wrong.
there's something I want to
sure I say right off
bat. There's,
I think the overarching element is like being authentic to yourself is some of the hardest work out there to do.
you know,
I think it's like,
not
sunshines and rainbows. I often ask my clients,
what's the cost
to be you? What's the cost?
Now, there is an investment.
It's
probably better
say, what's the investment that
you have to make for? but I think the cost is just a clear way of thinking but
there's a price
to pay to be you
The fun part is, when you get on the other side, there's a whole lot
of reward as well. A whole lot of reward. some of the things that show up for me and my clients one
of the biggest things is being one of the only people on your path
and to,
be
willing, wanting, open to
deal with the uncertainty.
I think
[00:18:00] that's probably the biggest walking down the path of
people aren't going and not being able to look left or right and say like, is this right?
know, am I inspired
or am
I a little cray? You know, or am I too much cray? You know, like lose the certainty. You lose
the, like, if
I just follow these steps, I will be successful. And then you just find yourself saying, now I have
create my
own success. And I might
be the one that
other
people look
to
and say,
you can do it But for right now,
there's no
one else can do it. This is the thing
we
talk
about. I remember saying this back when I was in Singapore. and I
saying something along
the lines of like, if I came up to you, Sean, and I said, Sean, You're awesome.
just like every
other person I like for some reason,
like that
doesn't really like, Hey, if I say, if I get the, if I'm
like, Sean, I really have to say like,
no one [00:19:00] else on that like, like,
does
things the way you like, I
to say,
like, you are one, like, you're, you're singularly amazing,
right?
That has a different
feel It
feels nice,
but on the other side of it,
there's 8 billion people
planet,
something like that. What is it like to be one in 8 billion?
To put
that in, to really see like, wait, we as
are not designed
to be alone. We're not designed to like the people who, who were designed got eaten,
you know?
earlier in the map.
Right. So like, so
a, there's a, there's cost to this. And for me
that costs like, Shawn, My number one
feels like
every time I want to step
up to my next level creativity, of, of
bringing new to the table
that much further down my own path, face some don't see anyone doing podcast I I don't see anyone else doing this.
I don't see like,
and it's like, should [00:20:00] I,
am I
I just wrong or like,
But I know it works for me.
like, there's that component that shows
up Did
I answer
question like adequately? Let me
me make sure
Shawn Buttner: Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, no, this is,
this is amazing.
And I think,
you know, I talk about in the meaningful revolution. There's the
You're talking about hidden costs, right? There's a hidden cost to, you know, paying the investment to be authentically you, right?
There's a hidden cost
of continuing on and suppressing that.
that.
a lot of people forget
don't factor into their day to day like I do this thing I'm a salesperson and I have to lie to people
and
to get
money, you know,
maybe a classic icky feel that people get
that's
not
sales really
is if you're doing it, right in a
other
podcast.
Niiamah Ashong: I'm like,
don't,
shouldn't have to lie there, but like, yeah, I feel you, keep telling them.
Shawn Buttner: But,
if you are in violation to your values in your work
there's
a cost [00:21:00] to suppressing that
is wrong. This
is not me, this is not how we should be doing things. and so,
I love that,
you're highlighting that I loved.
also, you know, the idea
of belonging
how
do you know if
you're with the right people?
to me, I'd love
your opinion on this. It feels like curiosity. There you are.
I see
you. I know you've done a lot of amazing things in your life. Let me just tell me more about that, you know? And that's why I love doing this
I'm again, grateful
you for being here, but.
I know I, you
Niiamah Ashong: I can speak to that. And
you said, curiosity,
What got
me was actually courage. because the element here being truly seen belonging, right? Like,
will I be accepted?
And if I'm not accepted, will I be able to make [00:22:00] money from this? Can I
afford my rent?
what
will my spouse think of me? there's so many things that all boil down to will this
be accepted? do I belong with everyone else?
to me, the underlying part comes down
to the courage to say,
you know,
as a creator,
I'm not just looking
what the algorithm wants.
Instead, I'm going to
create what I'm going to create, but I'm going to find out what is actually meaningful for people, what is actually valuable for people, and I'm going to
the
most valuable thing I can
because value
will be shared
I got to
surpass the
algorithm.
Because like
people find it valuable. People find it valuable. And I think,
it takes courage to go and do that. Like,
enter into conversations with my clients
where they're like, I just can't
figure out the algorithm.
underneath
I watch their stuff. I'm like, this ain't that great. Like,
don't know,
I don't know what,
like, you're looking for the algorithm to [00:23:00] push forward, but it's like, there's, You're not,
you yourself haven't
entered this, this space yet.
I can read this
anywhere.
I've
seen this all these other places.
What is it that
you?
Now you have to be different because if you are you guess what?
it just lines up, like that's the easiest way to be different is just to be What do you think?
What do
you think there,
Shawn Buttner: I
think you're spot on that,
if you were showing up as your true self, right?
The work that you're doing,
like, so we're talking about authenticity, right? You're being your authentic self out
the world, creating your authentic things, the
work you have to do to get there is you have to understand your values,
have to understand who you are as a person, you have to understand and
have some type of vision for yourself,
I think. and all of those factors that [00:24:00] work that you do
to discover that,
You know, it's going to make
you unique, right? And so
if you're unique
and you're creating,
I'd like to
hear your
reaction to this, but while you're doing, you're
a lot,
right?
worried about being our authentic self and failing, that can,
can cause a lot of different
kinds
things where you're going to
to like, Oh,
So everyone who does this kind of weird TikTok dance or wheels dance gets
a bunch of views. I should talk about international finance while I'm dancing because that goes together
and we should
really,
you know,
and you lose the message,
you lose the movement in that.
I
mean, maybe
you're great at international finance, and that's
what you really want to be doing, and then you found it too, so there's no right or wrong answer,
you have to put yourself out there, you have to fail,
as your
self, [00:25:00] being vulnerable, and that could be the scariest thing.
Like, I mean,
that could, yeah.
stop people in their tracks.
Niiamah Ashong: I
think about all these trends that get
up
And I'm like, someone had to do it.
Like, it's not like, you know.
TikTok doesn't
exist as its own
saying,
Hey, by the way, if you dance, I'm going to reward you.
Shawn Buttner: Yeah.
Niiamah Ashong: someone did it.
someone went first, someone owned what worked for them.
And then other
said, Oh, this
works. And I will go and do Right.
And we get the means we get all
those various things, but I think that there's,
a component
of it where it's like,
almost like, you willing to
original
We talked about hitting costs. I think this is really important. It's like, are you willing
pay the price for what
that All right.
right now I'm doing something on my podcast where I have to,
I
become
the person that
hold multiple people in
in a space.
I have to become the
that's sure that every person gets
enough
in there that it's not a [00:26:00] waste of their time. I have
figure
out how do I like now get all this
into the world
at a higher
volume
It was like,
Oh wow, I've just 5x my work.
You know,
and
I
decided to do a whole
lot of them, because I'm like,
need to get better at
Right. And what that is required is for me to become for me to have
to meet think that like for any of those creators
there,
that's out there.
it's like the
underlying thing is. you're providing,
right. And value. And
if you focus
on what provides value, that value gets amplified. through whatever it is, right? And
if dancing provides value because it's,
you know, it's entertaining to
and people like
to like,
fine,
know that that's the
value you're adding.
but if there's other ways that you can add value,
You might have to learn
the
work of how do I
make this, like how to bring people in and at first, like
there may be
more [00:27:00] work involved,
but the
rewards are
are also
Shawn Buttner: Perfectly said.
Niiamah Ashong: a, it's a problem with me, Shawn, like, because,
I'm like,
on one side, I
speak to things that
are like, yeah, brah,
this is awesome.
Be you like, got it. Like you can create
it your own way. and then underneath it, I'm like, And by the way, it's going to
be worth it. Yeah, but it's some work, you know,
Shawn Buttner: and it's not easy work.
Niiamah Ashong: work, we can have fun in it. It could be joyful work, you know, but it is still hard.
I finally
got to the point Niiamah
I was trying to
out who
I was while leading, you know, such that I could put myself in a
a position that this kind of transformation could take You know?
Yeah.
Metaphore Magic or Mishahp? Building The Authenticity Plane
---
Shawn Buttner: And,
okay, I think
found
the metaphor part of the show
we're
always building the plane while it's flying. And
you're
not going to find the right path. You're not going to be on the right
path until[00:28:00]
you get all the parts you need.
Figured out and you've maybe been beaten up a little bit by the weather and whatnot
But when you get to that
moment, it's
beautiful thing that makes
everything
worth it
it probably makes things more meaningful I'm sure
the Nemo version of yourself is
more valuable to you looking back now
as like oh I
I've
Learn those lessons or you know, the things that you've pulled from that
into this
new
vessel
going where you're going.
a really cool, cool moment.
Niiamah Ashong: See,
like real
this
metaphor thing.
Shawn Buttner: Yeah.
Niiamah Ashong: I like, I've never heard anyone else do it.
did you just
up with that?
you
like make that up? Like, Hey, I want to
to do this metaphor.
Shawn Buttner: Yeah, like three episodes ago. I was
how do I make this podcast more me?
Was the question I was trying
to answer, which is
apropos
Niiamah Ashong: You do
Shawn Buttner: a lot of
Niiamah Ashong: things in metaphor then.
Shawn Buttner: no, I actually, it's something I want to, work on.
I've always done it [00:29:00] unintentionally, and sometimes,
it seems
to go like, oh, he's really smart, and sometimes
that guy is crazy,
Niiamah Ashong: it's just like, oh, I totally buffed that, and that's totally cool. Well, thank you
for bringing it in because it makes this part of the conversation real. Right. no one else
said
you do
a metaphor part of your on it, it's just going to take off. Like I remember when I got in a podcast and 10 years
I was
following John Lee
Dumas of
entrepreneurs
fire.
Love the guy did
some of his programs, like really cool.
Right.
Then I went out and I looked up and, you know,
helping other people too,
like you
see
something else on
like attorneys
on fire
like a whole
on fire rave and then it was then
you would listen to
the podcast and look, I myself
did this so I like you were all asking the same five questions.
us about your
failure Tell us about like, you know, tell us a story about this, right?
The element was
like, he found
it, he
found what worked for him
what he's like,
Oh, if I'm going to have a seven day a week podcast,
can't just be coming up with random[00:30:00]
here goes what I'm
going to do, you know, so
on and so forth. And he made
into something that
then other people
then
out and took.
And so I get excited when you bring in in this
metaphor thing, you're, in that space. Like. does this work? I came up
three, I came up like, you know, three episodes ago with this. And like, some of these
are going to bomb, aren't they? Like,
I'm a couple

onto the Meeting Revolution podcast, waiting
for you to
them what their metaphor
And if someone's in the future is going to say, Oh, I think I should just metaphors metaphor is what's hot right

I think him and I are aligned on that idea in that we need to show up as our unique selves to find the meaningful work, to do the meaningful things in the world, to make those [00:33:00] meaningful.
