Brandon Straza

The Success Finder Podcast has been pumping out consistently interesting and surprising interviews for several years now, going back to its original incarnation as The Mastermind Effect podcast. Since its relaunch, the show hasn’t skipped a beat, balancing explicitly raw and real insights from the world of Coaching, to the woes and throws of building a business. This show takes a chainsaw to flaccid social media virtual reality, and instead invites its audience to peel back, and get real. Really real.

Welcome to the Success Finder Podcast! “I am going to remove friends.” I keep seeing this post in different platforms. For those individuals that are saying they want to remove friends, what do they really want? They added them in the first place but now they want to remove them. [00:00 – 01:36] What I am starting to see? Building over at the Success Finder based off of intent, intentions and results. I'm gonna remove friends. I'm down this amount of friends.” What I truly see is you added the individuals, you broke the intent

Welcome to the Success Finder Podcast! Are our accomplishments really accomplishments if we don't post about it? Social media has good intentions when it was born but it becomes a medium for social comparison. Social media loves the comparison. We're using it to seek feedback instead of gathering knowledge or insight to connect quickly rather than meaningfully. For business leaders, rise above the noise. Here are some things to help you when a client wants to promote their services, connect with their audiences, and grow their social network.  [00:00-01:29] Social media Social media was born with the best of intentions.  It provides virtually unlimited access and connectivity to our friends, global businesses, media outlets, and information. Association between greater social media use, and higher rates of depression, and anxiety. Most obvious side effect of social media overuse is the tendency for unfair comparison

[01:30-03:18] Social comparison      Social comparison is a form of sociological self-esteem, where we derive our sense of self, through comparing ourselves with others.         Social media thrives on comparison. Social media becomes a vehicle for validation and comparative thinking.

[03:19-04:37] Rise above the noise as a business leader Give your clients and community the option to step away from the swirling chaos of social media.   Provide a safe, quiet space, where true honesty, discovery, and growth is possible. Eliminate the option for comparison and promote the option for authentic communication.

Tweetable Quote: “Social media is no longer a content medium or sharing method. Rather, it's become a vehicle for validation and comparative thinking.”-Brandon Straza

Let’s find out some basic questions that a coach or leader should be able to answer so they can help their clients. It is very critical that a coach or a leader can answer these questions.  [00:00-01:42] Clients' way out     Your clients have no desire to buy what you're selling.

Welcome to the Success Finder Podcast! I’m talking to my team and told them if we can have someone else deliver our content or idea. It’s just to have a different voice but the message will still be the same. Just contact me if you are interested to be that someone. In this episode, let’s talk about listening over coaching. Why is it that when we are talking to a coach or a leader in our life, we take the message differently? The best coaches, leaders, or mentors have certain characteristics that help individuals achieve the sweet spot or the moment when the true transformation takes place. [00:00 – 00:57] Different voice deliver the message Let's have someone else deliver it and have a different voice.        The message would still be the same, but you'd be hearing it from someone else. if you have a way of reaching out to us, you can message me at brandon@thesuccessfinder.com.     

[00:58 – 02:19] Listening over coaching·         This goes in a lot of different domains, a lot of different arenas, in our personal, professional, in our connectivity life when it comes to listening.  Hearing that same message from someone who was a mentor or a coach, a leader in our life and take it completely different  The best coaches have a natural gift for helping people The art of listening objectively, and understanding that clients are the experts in their own lives

[02:20 – 03:37] Different outcomes in coaching  it does not assume that everyone will be equally successful following the same path. The outcome will most likely be different.

[03:38 – 04:44] The characteristics of the best coaches Coaches are trained to be objective and non-judgmental. A leader can create a space that fosters collaboration, curiosity, and creative problem-solving. Coaches lean on open-ended questions to help their clients meet their own truth

[04:45 – 05:52] The sweet spot·         When we feel seen, heard, and understood, our brain stops self-protecting and perfecting answers. We can access the situation and come up with the self-governance and solutions that ring true to us. That is the moment when true transformation can take place.

Tweetable Quote: “The best coaches understand their charge is to help individuals find their own way and discover their own strengths, skills, and blind spots. -Brandon Straza

Welcome to the Success Finder Podcast! One of the projects that I'm a part of has a seven-year-old as its lead consultant. In this episode, let's talk about the importance of paying attention to the world around us and to the people in it, regardless of their age. [00:00 – 00:22] Some notes I made a few months ago Something that happened back in January of this year I found my notes about that experience about how we sometimes miss what's right in front of us and I've decided I wanted to share it with you today

[00:23 - 02: 16] Missing what's right in front of us I'm working on a project where our lead consultant is a seven-year-old. Our amazing lead consultant talked about paying attention to our surroundings and other people's emotions and their surroundings. He plays Mario Kart and when someone bought him a big stuffed toy of Shy Guy as a gift, I ended up having to bring it on the plane to bring home to him.

[02:17 - 3:13] Moral of the story Learn to listen to people, no matter what their age is. And of course, pay attention to your surroundings.

Tweetable Quote: "Listen to a seven-year-old. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish by doing this." -Brandon Straza

Welcome to the Success Finder Podcast! This morning I was in a flow state, or at least what I call a flow state. Then, ten to fifteen minutes later, something happened that made me realize that two people in a conversation can be in different states.

[01:03 – 02:21] A Flow State I needed something to cut out the noise and just start flowing. My visual state vs my audio state I heard the word "eyebrows" but I thought the person I was talking to said "eyelashes."

[02:22 – 03:18] Something To Think About Are the people you're talking to in a visual state or in an audio state? Why you should not be upset when you feel they're not paying attention to you

Tweetable Quotes: "Don't be upset when someone seems like they're not paying attention to you. They just might not be in the same state that you're trying to deliver to them." -Brandon Straza

He’s since read over 1,000 books, and realized that everyone who’s excelled in any area of life knew things were never taught in school. They were Insiders. He’s now helped over 500,000 people through his online courses read more books, learn better — and download the wisdom from thousands of pages of books in their brains through short, actionable videos.

This episode is a different solo show as we talk about Partnerships in regards to my wife. Now Partnerships can come in different forms, friends, family, spouses, business partners, significant others.

[00:01 – 04:59] Meeting the love of my life I share the story of how I met my wife Some of the things I was looking for in my partner: Are they a good person? Can they take care of themselves without you? Do you have a similar mission, vision, and value? Are you a better person with this partner? Will they make you laugh? Are you attracted to them not only physically but also intellectually? Will they challenge you? The "Communication Ring" Remember the following when you hit bumps, big or small: The other person isn’t in your head, let alone at the point in the conversation you’ve decided to bring them into It’s better to let them know what’s truly going on in your business & personal day as opposed to shutting your partner out. By communicating with your partner, they can see it from a different perspective (remember, you’ve been sitting on something all day or even longer & that can cloud your opinion) The idea that blossomed from our relationship

When starting a startup or finding a way to execute your ideas, there’s always something or someone that will discourage you from moving it forward.

In this episode, I’m going to keep it short and concise. I am currently on the road at Nashville, and being around these wonderful entrepreneurs, it got me thinking, why is it that we are so afraid to fail? Why is it that I have a fear of failure?

Tweetable Quotes: “Find yourself the right support system, the right team, the right mentor, the right coach.” – Brandon Straza “For me, my fear of failure isn’t really that I’m afraid of failing.

In this episode, we will talk about the fear of failure. I also talk about how important it is to overcome your fear of rejection, your fear of the word NO. Most of us are stuck because we are not willing to fail forward. I myself had a fair share of that fear, but only by overcoming that will you be able to reach greater heights.  Let's dive into this episode and learn how you can overcome your fear of the word NO, fail forward and survive. [00:01 – 02:11] Fear of Failure The Pillars of Success Hanging out with the right people The willingness to invest in yourself Taking action through experimentation Most people are afraid of failing forward because of their fear of the word NO  I share my own experience of being scared of failing forward

[02:12 – 09:05] Why is it that most people aren't willing to fail forward and survive? Be willing to get over and hear the word NO If everyone had a good sales pitch or great idea, we'd get nowhere NO is just another way to learn how to refine what you're pitching Learn your NO Is it just the wrong time, wrong place; GENERIC NO? Is it a MAYBE NO? Is it a HARD NO? If you get a NO, you're either asking the wrong QUESTION or wrong PERSON: There are multiple ways to get into the house; it doesn't always have to be through the FRONT DOOR.

[09:06 – 09:41] Closing Segment Final words from me

Tweetable Quotes: "You’ve got to be willing to hear the word NO. NO is just another way to help you refine the pitch that you are giving, or the sale that you are giving, or the offer that you are giving.

Your ability to create fulfillment in the next 5 to 10 years is affected by the fulfillment level of those you are collaborating." – Patrick Carney "When you think about a mastermind, and you think about pivoting, and you think about everything that we are talking about. The idea is you must surround yourself with brilliant individuals dedicated in supporting you and challenging you. Cheering you on and inspiring you to achieve and use the actual steps to get to your desired outcomes." – Patrick Carney   Resources Mentioned: YES Mastermind https://davidcorbin.com/ (David Corbin) https://richtopia.com/napoleon-hill (Napoleon Hill)...

Brandon talks about networking – a vital key to growth for yourself and your business. The Common Problems With Networking: We’re never really taught or trained to network. We don’t realize the true value behind networking. We haven’t created the goal, plan, flow. We go to events without someone who will push us out of our shell.

About Kyle Stanley: My name is Kyle Stanley and I started The Fearless Investor in 2019 (originally called Fearless Flipping) as a way to help others learn about investing in real estate! Today, my mission has evolved into teaching people how to make money with AirBnB, real estate, and other investments. I’ve been many places in my career… I was a TV sports anchor, I ran a sports videography and recruiting business, I’ve been in health and wellness, fundraising for K-12, and a few other sales jobs. Nothing… I mean NOTHING… has gotten me more excited about my future, and the potential of helping others like this. The funny thing is that I was investing in real estate before I ever knew I was. I’ve been using AirBnB as a vehicle to pay for my mortgage since 2015. Little did I know, that is a form of real estate investing! But it wasn’t until September of 2018 when I really started to understand the power of real estate. I started listening to real estate podcasts and researching as much as I could. I studied and studied and studied. I started to see all of the opportunities real estate had for passive income. Before real estate, I thought the best way to earn passive income was by creating an app, becoming a network marketer, or building a huge business. I thought the only way to even get to real estate was by owning millions of dollars!  Then on January 4, 2019, I went to a Than Merrill Fix ‘N Flip seminar. I went for one reason: education. But I walked away with an incredible new outlook on real estate and my life! On January 6, I made a committment to become an active real estate investor right there on the spot… Mind you, this came one day before starting a new job with a local sales company. I felt like I was adding another full-time job to my plate, but that’s how committed I was! One month later, I had my first deal under contract. I was terrified! It was my first “Oh S*%t” moment, but I knew it would be the first of many. In year one, I went on to do 7 real estate transactions: 3 rentals, 3 flips, and 1 wholesale. But the real “ah-ha moment” came when I fully invested myself and my attention into AirBnB. In a matter of 5 months, I went from $1,000 per month to $15,000+ per month! Fast forward to 9 months in, I was grossing over $25K! And the amazing thing was that half of my AirBnB portfolio was compiled of other people’s properties! I have created systems in my AirBnB business that allow me to only have to work 1-2 hours per week on our current properties. This allows me to focus on: finding deals, focusing on the important things in life, and creating content for YOU! And today, I have come to realize that education and action in investing is the most important thing I can do. So, while I educate myself on other types of investments, I want you to learn right along with me. Through The Fearless Investor Youtube Channel and Podcast, we are interviewing true experts who are teaching you how to conquer the world of investing. Whether that’s AirBnB, real estate, stocks, or more! These businesses are not easy, but it is all about the math and the systems, and for that reason, it’s simple! On This Episode: Learn how Kyle purchased his first investment property in 2o14 and hasn’t paid a single dollar for rent or a mortgage since then. hear why Kyle is willing to invest 50k+ into a mastermind to get the 1% of information he doesn’t have. Discover how to fail forward by getting around the right people. Kyle explains how to overcome your fears.

Key Takeaways: You’re going to suck the first time you try anything. Doing something is a better way than sitting down and trying to figure it out first. Have multiple mentors in your life.

Tweetable Quote: “You know you’re in trouble when you’re the smartest guy in the room.” – Kyle Stanley
