About our Guest: Paul LembergPaul Lemberg has consulted with Fortune 100 companies like Cisco, Adobe, IBM, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan/Chase, Mass Mutual, Accenture, and other giant organizations, but his real and true passion is helping small business owners and CEOs double and triple their profits, sometimes growing their companies more than 10-fold. Over the last few years, Paul’s one-on-one small-business clients, who range in size from brand-new startups to companies with around $20 million in sales, have profited by more than $550 million in bankable, put-in-your-pocket cash: the equivalent of billions in extra sales.Paul has been an entrepreneur since he was 27. After a 3-year stint as a software programmer working in Corporate America, he launched his first company with a partner and just $3,000 of credit card debt, selling it three years later to a publicly traded software company for just under nine million dollars. Five years later, he sold his second company to a large German Bank. He has started several other businesses since, including a successful sales training company and a business coaching franchise… which failed spectacularly.He has published three books, including the McGraw Hill business best-seller, Be Unreasonable, as well as Faster Than the Speed of Change and Earn Twice as Much with Half the Stress. He’s spoken on stage for Jay Abraham, Tony Robbins, T. Harv Eker, Marshall Sylver, Brian Tracy, CEOSpace, Digital Marketer, Roland Frasier, and many others. He’s been featured in the New York Times, The LA Times, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, CNBC, and Good Morning America, as well as hundreds of trade and special interest publications.Paul’s newest coaching and training programs help entrepreneurs implement high-performance business and life strategies. Sales Voodü is an outbound call-based lead generation program to help companies set up and manage an outbound sales team. Formula 5/XL is a system guaranteed to help business owners 2x-10x their companies by making a series of easy, can’t-fail changes.

The Entrepreneur Alchemy Academy, is a cutting-edge group-coaching environment to supercharge everything—business, health, and life—combining proven business scaling strategies with non-traditional magical and spiritual practices.Paul graduated with a BFA in Fine Arts and later from New York University’s Stern School with an MBA. He’s a member of Mensa, which he says he joined to compensate for not having studied at a prestigious school like Harvard.Besides his work as a business coach, entrepreneur-educator, and rainmaker, he is an art-photographer, a blues/rock guitarist and bass player, and practices his own brand of Chaos Magic and Mysticism.Links of Interest* Website: https://www.lemberg.com/ * Twitter: https://x.com/paul_lemberg * Facebook: https://t.co/Y7CTvwp3Cg

In this episode of the Jeff Bradbury Show Podcast, Jeff welcomes former NBA player, author, and motivational speaker Dean Tolson on to the podcast to discuss his journey from an orphanage not ever learning how to read or write to becoming a Magna Cum Laude Master’s Degree student . . . with a stop in the middle playing for the NBA’s Seattle Supersonics.

About Dean TolsonDean Tolson was one of the top prep basketball players in the state of Missouri his junior and senior years at Central High School in Kansas City. So, when the colleges came running, he accepted a full ride to the University of Arkansas. Despite being unable to read or write, he went on to be one of the most prolific players to grace the Razorbacks’ campus. In 1974, Tolson was the first basketball player to be drafted by both the NBA and the ABA, having been selected by the Seattle Supersonics and the New York Nets, respectively, ultimately playing for the legendary Bill Russell in Seattle. Following his basketball career, Tolson made the courageous decision to re-enroll at the University of Arkansas, and repeated all four years, this time legitimately. At the age of fifty-two, he returned to the university for three more years, earning a master’s degree and graduated magna cum laude. Tolson’s gripping story from his childhood in an orphanage to his academic achievements is not only an indictment of a system that would just “pass you along” from grade to grade as a hot basketball prospect without any educational accountability, but also an inspiring story of overcoming great odds to find success.

When developing your website, there are only two major focuses that you should be thinking about…. YOU, and YOUR AUDIENCE. A Well-Organized Office SuiteOver the last few years, I have been asked the same question over and over … “how do you keep everything organized?” The answer is simple … GET ORGANIZED AND STAY ORGANIZED! Last year, I converted all my TeacherCast files from Google into Microsoft Office documents and started using https://www.teachercast.net/?s=microsoft+teams (Microsoft Teams) to keep everything neatly wrapped under one digital roof. Because of this system, I am now able to quickly create a series of templates that span weeks into the future saving me countless hours of prep time each week. Using applications such as Microsoft Teams, Planner, and Microsoft 365 has provided me not only with an organizational system from which I can build my business but also allows me to have more time at home with my family. Clearly Defined Landing PagesEvery website is made up of posts and pages, but what is the difference? Blog posts, podcast posts, and other like content are uni-themed pieces of content that are dynamic in nature. Your pages, however, are vehicles where not only your posts and podcasts live, but your audience spends the majority of their time. Creating landing pages that not only tell your story, but walk your user through a content journey will allow you to determine not only what they click on, but HOW they click on the content you are creating. Email MarketingIf you are looking to http://www.buildyouredubrand.com/ (Build Your EDU Brand), then email marketing needs to be always on the front of your mind. The ability to bring in a reader or listener to your website is easy, but capturing their email and allowing them the opportunity to be a part of your inner circle is a completely different ball game. Your email marketing starts on the top of your front page (no pop-up’s please) and ends months and months later when you convert those users into paying customers of your book, online course, or additional content.

In this episode of the Jeff Bradbury Show, Jeff shares his 5 Non-Negotiable Rules for Personal and Professional Branding. If you are a new listener to TeacherCast, we would love to hear from you. Please visit our http://teachercast.net/contact (Contact Page) and let us know how we can help you today. 5 Rules of Personal and Professional BrandingBe Hyper FocusedThis first one is important and a rule that I often break. When you are trying to create something that you want people to remember you for, it’s critical that you stay hyper-focused. When a user comes to your website, listens to your podcast, or sees you on Social Media, you want them to instantly connect with not only who you are, but what your message is. This will help you not only stay on brand but keep you focused on hitting your target avatar. If you create content in multiple content streams it gets messy and tends to confuse your audience who will eventually grow to expect a certain type of content from you each week. On TeacherCast, the content is broken down into 5 distinct categories, General EdTech, Instructional Coaching, Website Design, Podcasting, and Build your EDU Brand. It is possible that someone will visit the website interested in learning about all these topics, but more likely that they are visiting for only one topic and not interested in the others. For this reason, I offer them multiple Social Media accounts where they can feel like they are getting the content they are interested in without being bombarded by content they are not interested in. If you look at many of the larger brands, this same philosophy applies. They might have a Twitter account for their company and an individual Twitter account to support individual applications or programs within the company. For smaller companies and those just getting started, I don’t recommend this method at all. When starting as a new brand, companies should create a single brand that is memorable, on point with their content and most of all, hyper focused on their company message. Be AuthenticOne of the biggest lessons that anyone can learn early on in their brands is the ability to become vulnerable and authentic with their audience. It is extremely difficult to gain a subscriber, attract a podcast listener, or entice a company to work with you. On the other hand, it’s extremely easy for someone to click the unfollow or unsubscribe button and walk away forever. Have you ever thought about how much time it takes you to gain a follower, a subscriber, or like? Out of all the 5 Rules, this is the most difficult one to live up to. Being Authentic means being vulnerable. You must put yourself “out there” to your audience in a way that makes them not only know who you are, but care about you enough for them to want to come back to you for added conversations. For some content creators this is easy. I often see educators at conferences who have a talent for being in front of groups and letting themselves be present in the moment. For me this is scarry. For the longest time, I put up a wall between myself and my audience. For the first several years of TeacherCast, I even (on purpose) omitted my name from the website. Even to this day, I still refer to TeacherCast as “it” or in the third person. Often, I when asked how the website or podcast is doing, I respond with “it’s going great” or “we are doing some good things together”. In hindsight, this is a defense mechanism to hide how proud I am of my accomplishments and how much I am proud of how many people the podcast has affected over the years. About 4 years into TeacherCast, I decided to add my name to the sidebar on the front page. This was a BIG STEP and a step that only happened once I met someone at a conference who said something shocking to me. They said, “I listen to your podcast all of the time, but I would never know it was you because you never mention your name on the show.” (#Ouch)...

One of the best pieces of advice that I give anyone, no matter podcaster, blogger, or coach is to toss the computer aside and take out a simple pencil and paper. Using your elementary tools, write down anything and everything that you need to do and break down each step that is required to complete those steps. Next, determine what can be done in the short term and what needs more breathing room to complete. Once you are organized, you can then move on to the next few items in this blog to help your organization take shape and create action items for each of the tasks. Create a Reasonable Schedule for Your Business and Your FamilyI don't know about you, but I need to revolve TeacherCast around being both a full-time educator and a full-time father and a full-time husband. That doesn't leave much time to do very much these days (or the past 7 years). Trust me, it's easy to try to bite off more than you can in a week and it's easy to try to keep up with others who don't have the same responsibilities that you do. When creating a schedule for your content, don't forget to include time for all of your family responsibilities as well as time for creating your content. Select the Best Tools For Your EDU BrandWhether you are first starting out with a new idea, or have been working on your EDU Brand for several years, a good assessment of the tools and applications you are using is always warranted. When you first start out, it is understandable to look for free tools that you don't need to spend too much time setting up. This gives you the ability to get your brand up and running and quickly in front of your Avatar. However, once you get up and running, and perhaps when money starts coming in, you might want to take a survey of the tools that you are using and ask yourself if you should be upgrading your gear or SAAS systems to help you stay on top of your competition. On TeacherCast, I use a variety of tools to keep all of my shows, blog...

Retired educator is the perfect person for everything. Apply to present at national conventions. Take that momentum into retirement. Form the corporation (S-Corp), get a credit card, get an accountant. Start an email list. (Constant Contact, MailChimp, Convertkit, etc.) Email the list weekly. Write a book (ebook). (Also have a shorter free lead magnet.) Repurpose content (1 blog post per week becomes blog post becomes newspaper article, podcast, YouTube, Lumen5, Headliner, social media posts, Medium, LinkedIn, HARO). Word of mouth is the best social media exposure. (Keep in contact with people you worked with before retirement.) About our Guest: Dr. Frank BuckDr. Frank Buck is currently ranked #1 in the world by Global Gurus Top 30 in the "time management category." He is a public speaker, productivity coach, and author of Get Organized!: Time Management for School Leaders. Frank started as a band director and then moved into school administration as an assistant principal, principal, and curriculum coordinator. Since his retirement from public education in 2009, he has spoken to audiences throughout the United States and internationally. His mission is to help busy professionals achieve total control over their time and the peace of mind that nothing is falling through the cracks. Frank’s nuts-and-bolts approach, along with his blend of content and humor, has made him a favorite with audiences.

As a podcaster, writer, blogger, or any type of content creator, we are often telling a story... often the story of a guest or another person. Our job as storytellers is to create a world for our listeners and readers that set up our subjects as the hero of their stories and their worlds so that they are standing tall both at the beginning and end of the blog or podcast. But how often do we ever get the opportunity to get up and tell our personal hero stories? It turns out that this is one of the most important things that we can do as creators. The ability to not only craft the stories of others but create our own stories is one of the most important things that we can do to Build Our Own EDU Brands. In this episode of the Jeff Bradbury Show, we meet podcaster, speaker, author, and life long educator Barbara Bray who explains to us the power and importance of Defining our Why. This subtle yet powerful vulnerability that each of us needs to possess is important not only to help our audience connect with us, but for us to be able to connect with our inner passions and gifts that we all possess.

About our Guest Ruth Ungererhttps://bodybyruth.com/ ()Growing up, I always enjoyed being active. As the youngest of 5 kids, I often played sports with my brothers and the neighborhood kids in the back yard and rode by bike or ran to get where I needed to go. That passion for exercise carried over to high school and college where I lettered in both volleyball and track. Looking back, there has NEVER been a time in my life where exercise wasn’t a part of my life. To me, it gives me energy and makes me feel good. Over the past 19 years, that passion has helped me discover my purpose which is to empower women to live their best life by giving them the tools they need to look and feel their best. I am so grateful to be able to wake up each day knowing I am part of someone’s transformation, inside and out.

Are you trying to Build Your EDU Brand and finding that you aren't getting the traction that you think you should be getting? Perhaps the answer isn't you or your networking skills, rather it might just be your game plan altogether. For many of us, we have an idea to do "something" for "someone" with all of the good intentions in the world, but really aren't seeing the forest through the trees. In this episode of the Jeff Bradbury show, we hear three stories from recent conversations I've had with teachers who are looking to create their own personal and professional brands. The problem in all three of these stories is ... the educators in the stories needed to have their target markets rethought. Perhaps this might be similar to your story?

(User Questions)Beginner Question: I have an idea for a brand … now what?Congratulations!, you have an idea for a new podcast, blog, website, or another type of content creating idea. What is the next step? What is the first thing you should do once you have this idea? My personal advice for anyone in this position is to write down everything you are thinking at that moment. This could be done with pencil and paper or perhaps through a digital application such as Evernote, OneNote or even a Google Doc. The most important thing is that you create a place (like a journal) where you can start to put your ideas together. The second thing you should do is find someone you trust and begin having conversations about your idea. You should choose someone who you not only have confidence in, but who you know will give you an honest opinion rather it be positive or negative. This might be a spouse or another family member or even a close friend. After you have flushed out the idea with someone close to you, the next step in the journey should be to seek out someone who might be in a similar field, or even in the same field to talk to them about your ideas and ask advice on their journey. This might help you learn what works and what might not work about your idea. You can certainly take your idea and go...

This is almost completely backward from what happens in the non-edu world. In business, you spend months trying to figure out a pain point. Then you try to come up with a cost-effective solution to solve that pain point. Then you learn everything about who has those pain points and you do everything that you can to attract them to your solution. Sounds pretty easy??? Successful companies identify who their target market is first and THEN create the solutions. Be An Expert In The IndustryHave you ever listened to a speaker or heard a podcast where someone was "trying" to sound like an expert but you had your doubts? In this age of quick and easy Google search, anyone can read a blog post and become an expert ... so what set's you apart? When creating an identifiable EDU Brand, it's important that you also establish your credibility or authority in the subject. This not only helps people identify with you but gives people a reason to follow what you...

This will help you not only stay on brand but keep you focused on hitting your target avatar. If you create content in multiple content streams it gets messy and tends to confuse your audience who will eventually grow to expect a certain type of content from you each week. For example, if you are used to writing long-form content then it’s best to keep that format. Suddenly switching to short-form content might turn off some of your long-time supporters. Be AuthenticOne of the biggest lessons that anyone can learn early on in their brands is the ability to become vulnerable and authentic with their audience. It is extremely difficult to gain a subscriber, attract a podcast listener, or entice a company to work with you. On the other hand, it’s very easy to Have a StoryAudiences connect to people, not to content. If you create a great blog post or write a good book, you may get several people checking it out, but once they get what they need, they will eventually bounce and might never come back. However, if you can find a way to tell your story through your content your audience will be able to connect not with just what they are trying to consume, but with YOU the content creator. Be ConsistentBeing consistent means being consistent everywhere. When you go through the process of creating a brand you take the time to think about your logo, brand colors, fonts, styles, and tone of your product. (and so much more) Consistency is that one thing that makes people remember you. Think about your favorite soft drink company. What makes them stand out from the pack? Is it the way that their drink tastes? Maybe … but I bet it’s also the way the product looks, or the packaging they use, or the colors and style of their logos. Consistency is super important when creating your brand kit as well as any content that you produce.

Welcome to the https://www.teachercast.net/episodes/jeff-bradbury-show/ (Jeff Bradbury Show), a new podcast from the TeacherCast Educational Network designed to help YOU… http://www.buildyouredubrand.com (Build your EDU Brand). I want to start out first with a few questions: Are you comfortable with your current level of income for your family? Are you seeking new avenues for professional learning and personal adventure this year? Are you looking to take your interests and dreams and build a small business to help you share your passions with the world? Welcome to the Jeff Bradbury Show, a podcast to help http://www.buildyouredubrand.com (You Build YOUR EDU Brand). This podcast has been a dream of mine for the last few years. It is actually based on conversations that I have had over the last 8+ years with both teachers and edtech companies about the way that educators are thinking of themselves as marketing opportunities and not just as in-class teachers. Each episode of the https://www.teachercast.net/episodes/jeff-bradbury-show/ (Jeff Bradbury Show) will be a conversation between me and you. Together, we will figure out together how to help you better provide for your family by creating a recognizable http://www.buildyouredubrand.com (EDU Brand) through your website, social media, email marketing, and conference networking. Why Create The Jeff Bradbury Show?This podcast will be a bit different than other podcasts on The TeacherCast Educational Network. Instead of doing a show focused on EdTech or on what happens in the classroom, this podcast will be a bit more personal. In 2011, I was co-hosting a podcast with a friend from California all about Apple, iPhones, and Technology. In the spring, he and I spoke about my desire to create a podcast that was educationally focused to help teachers learn how to use tech in their classrooms. This became the TeacherCast Podcast. Over the last 9 years, TeacherCast has allowed me to create a globally recognized professional development network based on audio podcasts, video tutorials, online courses, webinars, newsletters, and in-person professional development. It has essentially created an additional income stream for my family that allows me to stay at home and be the best husband and father that I can be. This is what I hope to share with you! Who Is The Jeff Bradbury Show Speaking To?The Jeff Bradbury Show is designed for educators who are looking to build a website, create an online presence and use social media to build an audience brand with the purpose of turning it into a profitable side business to support their family. What Will You Learn From The Jeff Bradbury Show?The TeacherCast Educational Network has helped me and my family not only create an additional source of revenue, but it has also helped us provide amazing opportunities for our triplets. For the past 9 years, I have learned all of these skills through the school of experience and it is through The Jeff Bradbury Show that I hope to share these stories with you to help you create an extra revenue stream for your family and help you build your EDU Brand. Topics discussed on the show will include: Web Design Email Marketing Social Media Search Engine Optimization How To Create Buzzworthy Digital Content in Print, Audio, and Video Formats Presentation Tips & Tricks That Only The Professionals Know We will also bring on educators and experts in the field to talk about their professional journeys to help share how they have gone above and beyond the classroom to support their families through their extracurricular passions. Subscribe Today To The Jeff Bradbury ShowThe Jeff Bradbury Show, although a new podcast on the http://www.teachercast.net (TeacherCast Educational Network) will be live on Apple Podcasts living on the feed that used to be called “The TeacherCast Educational Network (Full)”.
