Mastering Connection: How to Build Trust & Influence with Nicea DeGering

Authority isn’t built through performance. It’s built through connection. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Emmy award-winning broadcaster Nicea DeGering, longtime host of Good Things Utah, to break down what truly builds credibility, influence, and longevity in today’s media and business landscape. With over 30 years in television, Nicea has seen the shift from scripted authority to connection-based leadership. From covering major breaking news stories to becoming one of Utah’s most trusted media personalities, she shares what it really takes to build presence, command a room, and connect deeply with an audience. If you’re an entrepreneur, speaker, content creator, or thought leader trying to grow your brand, this episode is a masterclass in communication, authenticity, and long-term influence.
