Summary
Charlie Houpert explores what charisma really is, and how it goes far beyond charm or surface-level tricks. Charlie shares the 6 rules of charisma, breaks down different types of magnetic personalities, and reflects on his own journey from shy and reserved to outgoing and confident.
He also explores how charisma can become something greater moving through you—pointing toward surrender, purpose, and connecting with something bigger than yourself. We touch on ayahuasca, self-acceptance, the blocks many men face, and the process of letting go of old identities to uncover your unique gifts.

| 0:00.0 | You do not realize the world is above fay. |
| 0:02.0 | It is constantly running incredible people, incredible opportunities. |
| 0:06.0 | It would just take a little bit to make incredible things happen. |
| 0:09.0 | So if I think of charisma, it's this subtle layer of influence, that it's a series of habits, mindsets, beliefs that lead to people responding to you in a certain way. |
| 0:18.0 | I think a lot of the initial step that people get in the way is they think that every single habit that they've developed they identify with. So I am the awkward way that I shake hands. And any sort of attempt to adjust or amend that is me changing myself, and I will not do that because that's inauthentic. I would suggest that that's not true. Here's how I see it. The first one is that it is not what you say. It is how the divine moves through you. |
| 0:39.3 | I'm embracing it increasingly. |
| 0:41.3 | I am beginning to understand what effortlessness feels like, what it is to listen both to myself |
| 0:47.3 | and to what is being offered by the people and the opportunities around me. |
| 0:51.3 | When you start doing that sort of thing, the opportunities that arise are incredible. |
| 1:02.0 | Hey, everyone. |
| 1:03.0 | Welcome back to the Know Their Self podcast. |
| 1:05.7 | Our guest today is the founder of Charisma on Command, |
| 1:08.6 | which is a platform, a YouTube channel |
| 1:10.5 | that has reached |
| 1:11.9 | hundreds of millions of people teaching communication, confidence, and charisma. His work really |
| 1:18.6 | explains and dissects what makes people truly magnetic, what makes people unforgettable, and so |
| 1:25.9 | influential and persuasive. His teachings have evolved over the years, |
| 1:30.4 | and I'm really looking forward to diving into what the essence of charisma is. Is it a gift? Is it a skill? |
| 1:36.4 | Is it something we develop? Is it reflecting something truer about the human nature? Charlie Hooper, |
| 1:42.2 | thanks for being here. So good to be here, man. Thank you. I'm really excited. Yeah. It's been, first off, just a pleasure like getting to become friends over the past couple months and hang more and get more familiar with your work, and you're just an awesome human. Such categories and... All the things. You are very competitive. So are you. |
| 2:01.8 | Can I say it's been so cool to see what a person and a spiritual leader you are? |
| 2:10.3 | It's been so fun to see both sides of you. |
