Learn Speak Teach Episode #60 with Cal Fussman.
Full Show Notes at: https://realbusinessconnections.com/episode/calfussman/
As our world rapidly evolves, so does the way we connect with others. While technology has brought us closer in many ways, it has also made it harder for us to find meaningful face-to-face interactions. But it's important to remember that true connection comes from the heart, and that's why it's crucial to rekindle the art of meaningful conversation.
Asking big questions can help us get to know each other on a deeper level, strengthen relationships, and foster a sense of community. Building strong connections with our coworkers and team members can lead to increased productivity, creativity, and overall success. So let's embrace the power of communication and start having heart-to-heart conversations today!
Join the conversation with your host Ben Albert as he interviews Cal Fussman. Cal is an American journalist, host of the Big Questions Podcast, and author. He is a writer-at-large for Esquire magazine, where he has interviewed icons who’ve shaped world history: Ted Kennedy, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, Robert De Niro, Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, Dr. Dre, Quincy Jones, Woody Allen, Barbara Walters, Pelé, Yao Ming, Serena Williams, John Wooden, Muhammad Ali and many more.
He shares reflections on some of the icons he has interacted with and explains his source of inspiration for traveling the world. Additionally, he reveals what inspired the theme of connection on the Big Questions podcast and discusses what people can do to reconnect
When Cal speaks, you are listening to everyone he has ever interviewed.
Tune in!
During this episode, you will learn about;
[01:07] Episode introduction
[03:20] Has Cal ever felt like an imposter?
[03:38] How Cal’s interview style started
[07:11] The story about Cal’s trip around the world
[16:14] His source of inspiration for traveling the world

[20:43] The ‘golden rule’ of interviewing
[30:12] His reflections on Larry King
[33:24] Why he started the Big Questions podcast
[35:17] The first time Ben Albert heard about Cal on The Tim Ferriss Show podcast: https://tim.blog/2016/03/11/the-interview-master-cal-fussman-and-the-power-of-listening/
[37:54] What inspired the theme of connection on the Big Questions podcast?
[42:52] What can people do to reconnect?
[49:36] How technology has brought about disconnection among the youth and how we can help them create meaningful connections with other people
[58:26] How to connect with Cal Fussman: https://www.calfussman.com/
Key Takeaways:
When interviewing a person, focus on one question at a time because if you ask several questions at once, it will be hard for the subject to remember all the questions in the order you asked them. Moreover, the subject can avoid some questions that you are curious about. [20:43]
“In order to connect, you have to listen to the other person.” ~Cal Fussman [43:18]
“Every time you share a problem with somebody, you cut it in half.”~Cal Fussman[46:11]
Connection comes through the heart, not through a machine. We need to realign our hearts to connect. [47:41]
To reconnect with each other, we should start looking each other in the eyes, and speak with each other in a way that touches each other's hearts [48:08]

Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #55 Heather Parady.
Sadly, there are so many people with ideas that could positively impact many people but fail to do so because they fail to have the balls to start. According to Heather, today's episode guest, action creates clarity; projects usually reveal themselves by honoring them through starting.
Heather is a mental health therapist turned online entrepreneur who helps outside-the-box leaders bring their services online to scale their impact. She has hosted multiple top-ranking shows and conducted over a thousand interviews. She has been featured in Forbes, Pop-Sugar, and, most importantly, the front of her mom’s refrigerator.
Heather asserts that you need to start where you are and with what you have instead of fixating on the end goal. One needs to work backward by asking oneself what one small thing can do today with what one currently has.
The productive/creative process is disciplined, and one needs to love what one does because genuine passion drives commitment and consistency. This disciplined process favors even a small commitment of five minutes daily instead of sporadic bursts of motivation.
To be productive, one has to set restrictions. These restrictions could range from having to do something towards your daily goal for five minutes. In the case of Heather, she has a seat whereby she puts the restriction of not getting up until she has done what needs to be done.
In case you are a creative who does not know where to start, Heather advices that finding your voice starts with using your voice.

Key Takeaways:
• A marketable skill is a skill in high demand, where there is a substantial number of individuals actively seeking your expertise and willing to pay for it. [07:12]
• “When you have a certain amount of expertise, and you look at the same problem over and over again, you notice patterns.” ~Blair Enns [09:32]
• “Low variance in process equals low variance in outcome.” ~Blair Enns [09:44]
• “The number one rule in social content is first you must think, and to demonstrate that you are thinking, you must write.” ~Chris Do [11:22]
• The choice of social platform greatly depends on your target audience. [14:32]
• Most people seeking a solution don’t know the real problem, so you can focus a lot of your content on what the problem is and talk about it in several different ways. [16:58]
• Sales involves asking smart questions and then simply listening. [29:19]
• By not selling people things, you’re more likely to sell more frequently with less resistance. [32:39]
• “Scarce things are rare, and rare things are valuable.” ~Chris Do [44:54]
• You will have dark days in your business and relationships, but know they are just part of the game. Learn to love the grind; it will eventually lead to a better place. [46:00]
• In short-form content, you may achieve large viewership numbers but typically little loyalty. Conversely, long-form content encourages audience commitment, fostering engagement and building connections with the content creator. [48:00]
• When producing short-form content, inject a significant part of your personality because that will help you build a connection with your audience. [49:17]

Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #54 David Rendall.
Rendall offers a refreshing perspective in a world obsessed with self-improvement: instead of trying to change ourselves, we should focus on changing our environment. He argues that success isn't about altering who we are but finding the right circumstances to thrive.
David Rendall has spent the last twenty years speaking across every inhabited continent to clients like the US Air Force, Australian Government, and Fortune 500 companies, including Microsoft and AT&T. Former professor and stand-up comedian. David has also authored multiple books, including "Pink Goldfish" and "The Freak Factor."
Rendall challenges the conventional wisdom that highlights our flaws and encourages us to fix them. Instead, he suggests embracing our weaknesses as unique attributes that can be leveraged for success.
By conforming to societal expectations of fixing our flaws, we limit ourselves, but by embracing our true selves, we unlock our full potential. This counterintuitive approach encourages us to view our perceived weaknesses as strengths in different contexts. For instance, being a perfectionist may have negative connotations, but it also indicates a dedication to excellence that can be invaluable in certain situations.
Rendall's message is clear: we don't need to change who we are; we need to find environments that appreciate and amplify our strengths. Doing so empowers us and creates opportunities for others to recognize and celebrate their unique qualities.

Quote Of The Day:
“We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside of us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch..” ~E.E. Cummings [03:45]
Timestamp:
[01:22] - Introduction of the host Ben Albert, and guest David Rendall.
[03:45] - A quote by E.E. Cummings on revealing the value deep inside oneself.
[03:59] - Weaknesses can often be connected to strengths
[06:34] - Persistence and stubbornness as two sides of the same coin.
[07:25] - Being detail-oriented or a Perfectionist
[08:18] - Situational determinants of strengths vs weakness.
[09:20] - Professionalism can be shutting people down.
[11:17] - Matching one’s environment with their unique traits.
[18:44] - Creating opportunities to suit you.
Key Takeaways:
• Our perceived weaknesses may be our greatest strengths, and it often takes someone else to reveal this to us. [05:15]
• Success comes from introspection rather than conformity. [09:19]
• Alignment of environment and personality creates success. [11:17]
• “Think differently about yourself and others and then act differently.” ~ David Rendall [15:29]
• Creating opportunities or environments that are favorable is also an option [18:44]
Integration Assignment:
Where are you supposed to find it [a corresponding strength to a perceived weakness]? In the situations you're already in, in the life that you've had, when have you been rewarded for being who you are instead of trying to be somebody else? When have people seen the strength instead of the weakness? And how do you slowly or quickly, depending on your approach, how can you expand those situations and those opportunities? And most importantly, if you can find the right fit. [16:00]

Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #53 Sean Castrina.
In this episode, we sit down with Sean Castrina, the author of "The World's Greatest Business Plan." We explore the process of crafting a business plan from scratch, uncovering valuable insights for aspiring entrepreneurs.
Sean Castrina is a serial entrepreneur, having started over 20 companies over the last 20 years, and still seeks to launch a new venture annually. He is the author of 4 bestselling business books, including, "8 Unbreakable Rules for Business Startup Success.” He also hosts one of the most popular business podcasts on the planet- The 10 Minute Entrepreneur Podcast.
The first step in crafting a business plan is conducting due diligence to assess the business idea's viability for oneself and potential investors. Sean advises aiming for a market with little to no competition or, at most, one major competitor to share the market with.
Branding is the next step, where choosing a non-limiting business name that clearly communicates the company's essence is key. Following this, beta testing helps validate the concept, ensuring the business model is functional and viable. Once proven successful, attention turns to staffing and suppliers, as quality service delivery is paramount for business sustainability and positive reviews.
Marketing plays a crucial role, with Sean recommending analyzing competitors to identify opportunities for improvement and differentiation. Handling the back office is essential. Ensure that someone is constantly overseeing finance books.
Sean's golden tip for entrepreneurs is to leverage partnerships that bring indispensable value to the business, and if they only contribute financially, it's crucial to retain majority ownership and establish buyout agreements.

Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #52 Mark Savant.
Welcome to a conversation on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI). In this conversation with Mark Savant, we explore how AI, although its implications may not be fully understood yet, stands as the most pivotal technology of our time, revolutionizing industries and reshaping how we work and interact.
Mark Savant is a podcast launch and automation expert, AI expert, and community builder, leveraging AI to help professionals build a robust digital presence. At Mark Savant Media, he transforms simple Zoom calls into comprehensive marketing tools.
Traditional roles and jobs may be displaced due to AI’s ability to automate processes. However, Mark asserts that embracing AI will open doors to new opportunities and efficiencies, provided one surrounds themselves with a supportive community willing to explore its potential. Instead of stifling creativity, AI can be a tool for enhancing creativity by allowing one to have more time to spend on what matters through streamlining tasks.

~ “Having an occasional setback can be a real blessing in disguise. When you need to cancel plans or embrace your emotions, don’t forget that it takes time to grow stronger and smarter. Embrace the suck, it takes time to overcome your disappointments.”
~ “Before you can help others, you need to know how to help yourself first. You have to fill the kettle up before you start sharing, but you cannot fill the kettle if there’s nothing to fill it.”

Learn Speak Teach Episode #91 with Michael Oliver.
If you’re a salesperson, you may have seen similarities between the popular sales method by Jeremy Miner,, NEPQ (Neuro-Emotional Persuasion Questions), and the “How to Sell Network Marketing” book by Michael Oliver. In fact, NEPQ is actually a reworded version of Michael’s “Natural Selling” methodology, of which he’s been teaching for decades.
Michael Oliver is an internationally renowned sales trainer, coach, and best-selling author with over 40 years of experience in the sales industry. Michael is also the founder of Natural Selling Sales Training, which helps salespeople learn how to sell the way people buy.
Through his course “Natural Selling: The Art & Science Of Selling With Integrity,” Michael offers a step-by-step blueprint to double sales without rejection or objections.
Michael’s approach to sales — the Natural Selling Conversational Dialogue — emphasizes
genuine rapport and self-persuasion. Michael seamlessly blends ancient communication philosophies with modern strategies, championing authenticity in every transaction.
In this episode, Michael talks about the origin of Natural Selling, its development, principles, and how it became a thing.
Michael also touches upon how Jeremy Miner’s NEPQ framework is a carbon copy of the Natural Selling principles and questioning techniques that Michael developed. Michael taught Jeremy around 17 years ago, and Jeremy even left him a testimonial on his website, Natural Selling.

[17:35] Michael wrote the book over 20 years ago

[20:16] The importance of detachment

[24:34] The most important stage of selling
[27:54] 5 questions to reveal a customer’s emotional buying blueprint

[37:55] How to connect with Michael
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/naturalselling/

[42:39] Wrap-up
Key Takeaways:
• The whole idea of sales is no longer about selling. It is about helping the other person buy it. ~Michael Oliver [07:43]
• The foundation of selling is based on philosophy, not on technique. ~Michael Oliver [08:19]
• Selling is allowing the customers to influence themselves to buy. ~Michael Oliver [12:43]
• Set up the communication to show that you’re not there to persuade them to do something they don’t want, and you’re not going to take a lot of time. Ironically, they’ll give you all the time in the world because you’re focusing on them. ~Michael Oliver [25:42]

Cultivating healthy resilience involves understanding the connection between our beliefs, emotions, and physical responses. We are subconsciously guided by our emotions in our daily lives because our beliefs give rise to our emotions, which, in turn, produce physical symptoms. These symptoms can either halt our progress or propel us toward the life we truly desire.
In this insightful episode, Ben Albert sits down with Jennifer Watson, a former D1 athlete, All-American turned healer, and high-performance coach. Jennifer has transformed from battling depression to becoming an integrative physical therapist, TEDx speaker, and international coach.
Jennifer shares invaluable insights on what you need to know before taking a leap and how to cultivate healthy resilience. Moreover, she addresses how to recognize when you are in the weeds and the steps you should take to make a change.
Furthermore, she introduces a unique approach to self-discovery – the 5-sense step, which will help you clarify the things you want for success in your life.

[18:43] The 5-sense step to start getting used to what your body enjoys
[19:11] Integration assignment
Key Takeaways:
• “Sometimes you have to take a leap and build your wings on the way down.” ~Jennifer Watson [03:13]
• There is something bigger out there meant for us, and when we take that leap, it begins to configure for us. [05:32]
• We are subconsciously guided by our emotions because our beliefs give rise to our emotions, and these emotions produce physical symptoms. These symptoms can either stop us in our tracks, prompting us to revert to what we know or move us forward into the life we truly desire. [08:44]
• “Emotions are energy, just like food is energy.” ~Jennifer Watson [15:21]
Integration Assignment:
Practice the 5-sense step: Take a moment to reflect on what you like to listen to, see, taste, smell, and feel. Pay attention to where you feel it, how you experience it, and describe your body because that’s your body saying yes, which is the final sixth sense of intuition. This will help you clarify the things you want for success in your life.

Check our Jen's Podcast here: https://www.jenniferwatsonleadership.com/podcast
Soul Purpose Leadership Show Notes:
We are BACK with Episode 93 of Soul Purpose Leadership and today we’re talking Smart Business: The unexpected truths of Leading a Successful (and fun) Business with Ben Albert!
Ben is the owner of Balbert Marketing LLC. He is also the curator of The “Real Business Connections Network,” where he hosts five podcasts. Once an underdog, now a successful entrepreneur, Ben is passionate about helping other underdogs achieve their dreams. Ben is on a mission to actually move the needle on one million lives, one conversation at a time.
Why move the needle for someone else? “I don’t want other to feel small,” says Ben, who bravely shares his story with us today.
In this episode we discuss how to actually move the needle in someone else’s life. “It’s really about being a bridge… getting the wisdom, the knowledge, the stories, the success - from the people who have it, to the people who are looking for it.” -Ben Albert
Ben also talks with us about getting real with himself and going from zero to hero… from average to actually excelling… and the things he subtracted from his life which made space for exponential growth! What do you need to subtract?
We chat about imposter syndrome, too, and get this: “If your actions - your moments - your life is misaligned with who you’re trying to become you’re going to feel like an imposter.” Mic drop, Ben!
And of course, we discuss success in business where Ben graciously shares from his personal experience: “No one was coming to save me... I had to stop making excuses and take personal responsibility.” -Ben on when he decided to take the plunge and move his needle, asking for help, and investing in mentorship.
Lastly, we discuss the key (or lack of?) to success, staying curious, and growing in emotional and tactical connections along with Ben’s top marketing strategies!

“People who subscribe to your blog or podcast or videos series are in a virtual way raising their hand saying I believe in you, I wanna learn more about you and what you do, and it’s ok for you to send me communications and even market to me occasionally.” ~Mark Schaefer [13:40]
Community marketing is the ultimate marketing without marketing because if you have a community, people will buy whatever you’ve got going on because they love and support you.[21:27]

Learn Speak Teach Episode #60 with Cal Fussman.
Full Show Notes at: https://realbusinessconnections.com/episode/calfussman/
As our world rapidly evolves, so does the way we connect with others. While technology has brought us closer in many ways, it has also made it harder for us to find meaningful face-to-face interactions. But it's important to remember that true connection comes from the heart, and that's why it's crucial to rekindle the art of meaningful conversation.
Asking big questions can help us get to know each other on a deeper level, strengthen relationships, and foster a sense of community. Building strong connections with our coworkers and team members can lead to increased productivity, creativity, and overall success. So let's embrace the power of communication and start having heart-to-heart conversations today!
Join the conversation with your host Ben Albert as he interviews Cal Fussman. Cal is an American journalist, host of the Big Questions Podcast, and author. He is a writer-at-large for Esquire magazine, where he has interviewed icons who’ve shaped world history: Ted Kennedy, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, Robert De Niro, Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, Dr. Dre, Quincy Jones, Woody Allen, Barbara Walters, Pelé, Yao Ming, Serena Williams, John Wooden, Muhammad Ali and many more.
He shares reflections on some of the icons he has interacted with and explains his source of inspiration for traveling the world. Additionally, he reveals what inspired the theme of connection on the Big Questions podcast and discusses what people can do to reconnect
When Cal speaks, you are listening to everyone he has ever interviewed.
Tune in!
During this episode, you will learn about;
[01:07] Episode introduction
[03:20] Has Cal ever felt like an imposter?
[03:38] How Cal’s interview style started
[07:11] The story about Cal’s trip around the world
[16:14] His source of inspiration for traveling the world
[17:29] Cal’s reflection on Pelé; From the Big Questions podcast: http://bit.ly/40uIxTK
[20:43] The ‘golden rule’ of interviewing
[30:12] His reflections on Larry King
[33:24] Why he started the Big Questions podcast
[35:17] The first time Ben Albert heard about Cal on The Tim Ferriss Show podcast: https://tim.blog/2016/03/11/the-interview-master-cal-fussman-and-the-power-of-listening/
[37:54] What inspired the theme of connection on the Big Questions podcast?
[42:52] What can people do to reconnect?
[49:36] How technology has brought about disconnection among the youth and how we can help them create meaningful connections with other people
[58:26] How to connect with Cal Fussman: https://www.calfussman.com/
Key Takeaways:
When interviewing a person, focus on one question at a time because if you ask several questions at once, it will be hard for the subject to remember all the questions in the order you asked them. Moreover, the subject can avoid some questions that you are curious about. [20:43]
“In order to connect, you have to listen to the other person.” ~Cal Fussman [43:18]
“Every time you share a problem with somebody, you cut it in half.”~Cal Fussman[46:11]
Connection comes through the heart, not through a machine. We need to realign our hearts to connect. [47:41]
To reconnect with each other, we should start looking each other in the eyes, and speak with each other in a way that touches each other's hearts [48:08]

• For a business to be successful, it must adopt a holistic approach because our human experience affects our input and output in the business. We should also integrate the holistic elements with tactical aspects such as accountability, numerical analysis, hiring, and training. [44:16]

Key Takeaways:
• People won’t buy from you simply because you have a quota to meet, need the money, would like the sale to happen, or because you are a nice person. They will choose to buy from you because they believe they will ultimately be better off by doing so than by not doing so. [03:42]
• “Money is simply an echo of value.” ~Bob Burg [04:21]
• “When you sell at a low price, you are a commodity. When you sell on high value, you are a resource.” ~Bob Burg [08:04]
• Giving and receiving are not opposite concepts; they are two sides of the same coin and work in tandem. [12:03]
• Humility is understanding your strengths and weaknesses, and being grateful for what you have. [16:51]
• Becoming a go-giver means you understand that your focus is on bringing immense value to others. [21:34]
• When you focus on providing immense value to others, you also create much value for yourself. [24:15]
• If you want to make a lot of money in sales, don’t make making money your target. Instead, make serving others your target. When you hit the target of serving others, you will receive a reward in the form of money. [26:59]
• Great salesmanship is never about the salesperson, the product, or the service. Instead, it revolves around the other person whose life you are trying to add value to. [27:28]

Learn Speak Teach Episode #84 with Jeremy Miner.
Everyone engages in sales, regardless of whether or not you earn a commission, because we are all communicators who influence and persuade.
Whether you’re a business owner rallying your team behind a shared vision, an attorney trying to convince a judge of your client’s innocence, a politician seeking votes, or a contractor wooing potential clients, the common thread lies in the skillful practice of persuading and influencing others toward a desired outcome.
In this insightful episode, Ben Albert interviews Jeremy Miner, a seasoned sales expert who climbed his way from being an ordinary salesman to becoming one of the world’s top earners in sales. He takes us on a journey through the evolution of his sales training company, 7th Level, which achieved a prestigious top #20 ranking in Selling Power Magazine as a leading global sales training entity.
Discover the revolutionary Neuro Emotional Persuasion Questioning (NEPQ) selling method Jeremy pioneered and understand its differences against traditional selling approaches. Uncover the significance of tones in sales as Jeremy guides you through the art of projecting a composed, assertive demeanor that sparks curiosity in your prospects. As he wisely puts it, “Your tone is how the prospect interprets the intention behind the question you are asking.”
Additionally, Jeremy shares valuable insights on building trust with a prospect and wraps up the episode by providing a sneak peek into his book, “The New Model of Selling.”

[01:34] Today’s focus: Sales

• “Everybody is taught a certain level of skill when they start a job, but most people fail because they are not taught the right ones.” ~Tony Robbins [12:25]

• “Your tone is how the prospect interprets the intention behind the question you are asking.” ~Jeremy Miner [24:13]
• The biggest emotional driver in a human being that causes them to want to change is pain or the fear of future pain. [27:09]
• No pain, no sale. [27:58]

Ben’s Bites episode #11.
Join us for another riveting episode of Ben’s Bites. In this installment, Ben Albert shares his valuable insights from the Summit of Greatness, an inspiring event hosted by Lewis Howes in Columbus, Ohio.
A crucial lesson he brought back is the understanding that even if we can't dictate every external event, we hold power over our responses. It's our inner resilience and reactions that truly shape our journey.
The summit also spotlighted the importance of recognizing and embracing our innate gifts and strengths. Echoing Inky Johnson's wise words, “We all have strengths. Lean into your gifts,” Ben likens life to a garden. Here, each of us stands out as a unique bloom. A rose never attempts to be a daisy, and similarly, we shouldn’t attempt to be someone else. We should embrace and showcase our uniqueness, just as a flower proudly displays its petals.
Furthermore, Ben stresses the significance of prioritizing our health. While achieving optimal health might require expenses like personal trainers, gym memberships, and nutritious foods, investing in our wellbeing now will always be more affordable than addressing health complications in the future.
Ensure you catch this enlightening episode, brimming with insights that steer you towards a more enriched and genuine existence.

• “We all have strengths. Lean into your gifts.” ~Inky Johnson [09:33]

• Maintaining good health is expensive; personal trainers, gym memberships, and healthy foods often come at a price. However, it’s important to realize that you will either pay now or pay later when health concerns arise. Notably, the cost of prioritizing your health will never be lower than it is right now. [15:09]
• ”Relationships are like bridges, connecting us to new experiences, perspectives, and opportunities. Without them, we’d be isolated islands in a vast ocean.” ~Ben Albert [25:02]

A fun culture at the workplace is vital for fostering employee happiness, engagement, and productivity. It creates a positive environment where everyone feels connected and fulfilled in their jobs leading to a motivated workforce.
Nick Gianoulis, the founder of The Fun Dept and the “Godfather of fun,” has established a unique approach that transforms company cultures through the power of laughter and happiness. His company, Fun Dept, specializes in bringing laughter and happiness to organizations by organizing various fun activities that boost morale and enhance productivity.
He distinguishes between big production and low production fun. Big production fun involves larger-scale events like off-site team-building retreats or themed parties. On the other hand, low production fun focuses on small, daily activities that inject moments of joy into the work routine.
Nick emphasizes that leaders play a pivotal role in creating an environment where fun is encouraged and celebrated. Leaders inspire their teams to feel more engaged, motivated, and connected by actively participating in and promoting fun initiatives. As the saying goes, “Laughter is an instant vacation.” Leaders who understand this bring a sense of levity and joy to their workplaces.

Key Takeaways:
• When calling someone out, it is important to approach the situation by assuming the best intentions. By doing so, we foster an atmosphere that promotes understanding and collaboration. [10:18]
• Punishing problematic behavior is not an effective strategy. We should learn and grow from that experience. [14:58]
• Effective implementation of Title IX relies more on practice rather than policy. [25:19]
• Bystander intervention is one of the most effective ways to engage a community in preventing harassment and discrimination. [29:50]
• We are probably not maximizing our progress in various aspects due to our failure to reflect on the exclusionary practices that hinder the realization of our goals. [44:00]

Key Takeaways:
- Wrestling is a performance art with an amazing storytelling. And what wrestling does better than any other type of performance art is that it brings you along this journey. [15:13]

- "The cream rises to the top." ~ Macho Man[36:45]
- The most important element in content creation is making content that is valuable and shareable [43:57]
- Hearing someone's struggle humanizes that person and makes someone on that journey right now realize that if that person who has accomplished so much struggled at the point in their life where I am right now, I can also get through this and accomplish great things. [47:47]
- "There is no key to success; it's a combination lock." ~ Ben Albert [48:45]
- Whatever you are chasing after, whether a podcast, YouTube channel, writing a book, being a speaker, or starting a business, consistency is the key. We often see somebody who is having great success, and we forget about all the steps they took to get there. [49:48]

By asking the right questions, we can achieve almost anything. Find out how in today’s episode with Chris Van Vliet.
Chris Van Vliet is a 4-time Emmy award-winning TV Host, Entertainment Reporter, and YouTuber based in Los Angeles, CA. He has traveled the world reporting on events like the Oscars, Grammys, and the Cannes Film Festival.
You may be familiar with Chris's interviews on YouTube, but to call them “interviews” doesn’t seem fair because they are so much more than that. Chris dives deep into interesting topics with his trademark conversational approach, making it feel like two old friends catching up. This is the case when chatting with wrestling superstars like John Cena, The Rock, or Hulk Hogan, or a Hollywood A-Lister like Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, or Will Smith.
Let’s tap into some of his wisdom.
Tune in!
During this episode, you will learn about;
[00:00] Pre-show

Key Takeaways:
~ Things happen for a reason… Sometimes we don't know what that reason is until much later on in the future when we have more information about the situation and its outcomes.
~ Don't be a carbon copy of somebody else. Choose one thing from one person and another from a different person (and another) to create your own toolkit that will help you progress in life!
~ Success is a process, and by studying the process of success in others, you can improve your own. Learn the steps and methods successful people use to succeed, and emulate them. Successful people leave clues.
~ Try to build a good rapport with people so that when you ask a question that's difficult to answer, they will be more comfortable opening up to you.
~ Everything you have and don't have in your life is based on the questions you ask; asking better questions gets you better answers.

Hit #42: Kara Goldin, CEO & Founder of Hint on The Justin Brady Show
-
SHOW NOTES:
Kara Goldin, CEO and founder of Hint, a fruit-flavored water company, explains how she overcame the setbacks and doubters, and how she dealt with sacrifices in her new book, Undaunted. During our conversation, she explains why being called “sweetie” lit a fire that made her successful and she addresses raising money as a woman. Unlike most entrepreneurs, Goldin does a stunning job recounting specifically how she grew Hint both tactically and strategically. If there’s one message you get out of this interview, it’s this: Undaunted should be the first book any budding entrepreneur—or seasoned one—should read.

Rochester Business Connections #138 with Heather Newton.
Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/5tveZCxtRwE
Maintaining optimal brain health is essential for overall well-being and cognitive function. In this engaging podcast episode, I interview Heather Newton, founder of Loop Brain Health LLC. She takes us through the fascinating world of neurofeedback and brain mapping.
Discover how these innovative techniques can help optimize your brain’s performance and unlock its potential. Heather explains that neurofeedback is a safe and effective method that uses operant conditioning to train the brain, while brain mapping uncovers any dysregulation in brainwave patterns.
Moreover, Heather reveals what inspired her to focus on brain health. She discusses the causes of brainwave dysregulation and gives valuable insights and tips on how to maintain a healthy brain.
Prepare to be inspired by real-life stories of individuals who have experienced remarkable transformations after incorporating neurofeedback and brain mapping into their lives. Remember, as Heather wisely states, “A better brain equals a better life.” Taking care of your brain health is just as vital as caring for your physical well-being.

Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #32 with Henry Sims
Full Show Notes At: https://realbusinessconnections.com/episode/henry-sims/

With so many similar products and services on the market, it can be difficult to stand out and make an impact. However, by understanding your expertise and target audience, you can eliminate the confusion in your branding and establish a strong brand identity that will help you stand out from the competition.
Branding is the foundation of any successful marketing strategy. Marketing helps spread the word about your business, but if you don't take the time to work on your branding first, you don't have much clarity, and you end up amplifying a weak message through your marketing.
In this episode, Ben interviews Henry Sims, the co-founder of Sims Media. Henry helps personal brands bring clarity and simplicity to how they brand and market themselves so that they can connect with their ideal clients.
He discusses the relationship between branding and marketing, how to differentiate your brand from the competition, and how you can be minimalistic in corporate and still stand out.

“Marketing is what you say about yourself, but branding is what others say about you when you’ve left the room.”~ Jeff Bezos

Key Takeaways:
- “Marketing is what you say about yourself, but branding is what others say about you when you’ve left the room.”~ Jeff Bezos [03:44]
- Branding and marketing are sequential. You need the branding and then the marketing. The branding is the core of your messaging and your culture that your marketing amplifies [04:47]
- How you market yourself is going to be dictated by the way you define your brand, culture, and the message you want to put out there. If you don’t take the time to work on your branding first, then you don’t have much clarity, and you have a weak message and culture that you end up amplifying through your marketing [05:10]
- Within personal branding, it's more important to talk about you as a person than your business because there are so many similar businesses and services out there. Talking about yourself helps people to know, like, and trust you. [13:24]
- Branding aims to achieve a connection with your audience [14:28]
- If you show who you are as a person and your business, the two will combine to bring that personality to your business that will connect you with your ideal clients. [14:41]
Integration Assignment:
First, take out a piece of paper and write down your expertise. Second, think about who is the person that you can impact the most. Finally, look at your social channels online and ask yourself whether your expertise and the people you help clearly reflect in all those channels.

“If you say you are too busy to meditate, that is the reason that you need to meditate.” [14:35]
“Most things don't have to be addressed right now. When we find ways to slow things down, we can actually find ways to be more creative. And when we get more creative, we end up solving an existing problem in a new way that guarantees it won't show up in the same form again.” ~ Blaine Bartlett [16:09]

Imagination lives at the threshold of spirit. [18:38]
“Scarcity is always at the forefront of a mindset of accumulation.” ~ Blaine Bartlett [20:00]

“Content is king, but context is God.” ~ Blaine Bartlett [28:34]
“How I describe something determines how I feel about it. How I feel about something generates my behavior.” ~ Blaine Bartlett [29:19]
“There is no end destination. Only constant evolution of self.” ~ Brian Bogert [41:37]
Emotion is the human way of expressing vibration. [52:11]

Key Takeaways:
~ The soul of anything is the spark that gives it life and meaning. The soul of business is what keeps the organization vibrant. It’s not the numbers, not the goals, or the objectives.
~ Obstacles are a part of life. If you don’t have obstacles, you are not stressed, and if you are not stressed, you are not growing.
~ Most organizations aren’t set up to flourish because they don’t provide the mechanisms by which that happens.
~ A leader’s job largely is to ensure that their people find ways to emotionally connect with the organization’s goals and objectives- Its soul.
~ The purpose of business is to uplift the experience of living on this planet. It is not to make money. Making money is a consequence of doing things well.

Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #31 with Nina Meehan.
Are you brimming with potential creativity, yet find it stifled by a lingering belief that you're not creative? This self-imposed limitation can often hinder our exploration of fresh ideas and innovative solutions. By challenging these restrictive beliefs and embracing the boundless landscape of ideas, we can enhance our creative prowess.
One powerful way to augment creativity is through divergent thinking. This concept revolves around generating a multitude of ideas or solutions for a single problem rather than settling for just one. Embracing divergent thinking illuminates a path scattered with possibilities and options, shifting our focus from problems to potential solutions.
Regular practice of divergent thinking can cultivate a more creative and open-minded approach to problem-solving. Join host Ben Albert in a riveting conversation with Nina Meehan, a renowned global creativity & innovation expert. Nina shares her journey into creative thinking and offers strategies to bolster creativity, leading us to think beyond the ordinary. Dive into the episode for a fresh perspective on creativity!

[05:07] We are all born as creative individuals [08:43] “Nothing kills creativity and innovation in the workforce faster than an environment that is forcing people to get something right.”~ Nina Meehan [09:15] “You cannot be innovative without taking a risk.”~ Nina Meehan [11:47] “The number one indicator of a person who has creative potential and creative thinking at their fingertips is somebody who has divergent thinking and openness to new ideas.” ~ Nina Meehan [18:09]

Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #29 with Stan Phelps.Sampling is one of the most critical aspects of marketing that we often overlook. It's not only meant for prospective customers, but it's also essential for our existing customers. Sampling for customers can help build their lifetime value and create long-term relationships with them. It goes beyond the transactional nature of business and helps establish a personal connection with the customers.One crucial aspect of creating a memorable customer experience is by focusing on creating an exceptional employee experience. When employees are happy and satisfied, they tend to provide better customer service, leading to higher customer satisfaction and loyalty. It also helps differentiate your brand from your competitors and give your customers a reason to talk about their experience with you and recommend your business to others.In this episode, we are thrilled to welcome back Stan Phelps, a keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, and the author of the Goldfish Series of books. Stan shares his insights into the meaning of sampling and how it can differentiate your customer relationships. He also shares a case study and practical tips on how to make your clients happy to pay you.Don't miss out on this exciting conversation with Stan as we explore the power of sampling for customers and how to create a memorable customer experience that leads to long-term customer relationships.Quote Of The Day: “Sampling is the lowest hanging fruit in all of marketing.” ~ Stan PhelpsTimestamp: [00:20] Intro[01:44] Quote of the day; "Sampling is the lowest-hanging fruit in all of marketing." ~ Stan Phelps[02:03] What is sampling?[04:31] Case study of B2C sampling by Stacy's Pita Chips Company[09:00] Example of B2B sampling [12:13] How to differentiate your customer relationships and make your clients happy to pay you[13:58] Stan's previous episode: https://realbusinessconnections.com/episode/stanphelps/[14:09] How to connect and learn more from Stan Stan's Goldfish Series of books on Amazon: https://bit.ly/3ZWsddG Website: https://stanphelps.com/[15:50] Integration assignment Key Takeaways: "Sampling is the lowest hanging fruit in all of marketing." ~ Stan Phelps [01:44]Sampling is the idea of giving your customers additional taste and letting them try out an additional capability [02:57]"The more products and the more things that you can do for a customer, the less they become a potential flight risk." ~Stan Phelps [11:11] Sampling is one of the little things you can do to go above and beyond the transactional nature of business [12:13] Integration Assignment: Find out what part of your business or capability is often overlooked but is really appreciated by your customers.

Learn Speak Teach Episode 50 w/ Stan Phelps!Watch The Full Episode: https://youtu.be/QiEuhP8lU0M----Full Show Notes: https://realbusinessconnections.com/episode/stanphelps/ ----During this episode, you will learn about;[00:00] Episode intro and a quick bio of our guest; Stan Phelps[06:34] Stan’s rainbow of 11 colored goldfish.[13:04] An example of a business that has the massive goldfish differentiation [18:23] Stan's background[27:38] Value-based techniques to differentiate[33:22] Purple, Green, and Gold Goldfish [35:20] Case study on the impact of doing a little something extra on sales[44:54] “The pick-end rule” [46:25] Ben’s biggest takeaway from reading Pink Goldfish[48:40] Flawesomeness[52:01] What Stan is working on right now and how we can support him [53:14] How to reach out, connect, and learn more about Stan [52:43] Homework: How to start owning your flaws to be different and unique [54:55] Final ThoughtsKey Takeaways: ~ No one has control over their market, their competition, let alone the economy. The only thing you can control is how you differentiate in what you do. It’s hard to differentiate with what you offer, but you can differentiate in how you do it and why you do it. ~ [11:54]~ Referred customers are more valuable to you than the traditionally acquired customer. They stay longer. They spend more money, twice the amount of money as traditional customers, and since they have been referred themselves, they refer up to twice the number over their lifetime. ~ [23:11]~On time is a myth, people in life are either early or they are late. No one is ever just on time and the same thing applies to the customers we serve each and every day. No one has ever just exactly met the expectations of a customers they serve. We either exceed the expectations or fall short. This gives the choice of doing a little more or a little less. ~ [26:58]~70% of people buy based on experience, 30% buy solely buy based on price. Given a choice, never compete based on price. It’s a race to the bottom. Provide something that makes you different from all of your competition and give your people a reason to talk about you ~ [32:33]~People make a decision very quickly when visiting an establishment or starting a new job, whether or not they will come back and stay for the long term. How you manage that first impression is key, and before somebody walks out the door, logs off your sight, or hangs on the phone, how you manage that last impression is key. ~ [44:20]~Every weakness has a corresponding strength to it, but we tend to try to fit in and live by the norms of our industry or where we live. A lot of times, by conforming, we try to correct the things that are unique about us to fit in. What makes us weird, unique, and different is truly what makes us wonderful. ~ [49:05]~Your brand today is no longer what you tell people it’s. It’s the differentiated experience your employees deliver, it’s what you stand for, how your customers feel, and most importantly, your brand is what your customers and employees tell others about their experience. ~ [52:41]----LST is powered by www.balbertmarketing.com

Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #28 with GG The Franchise Guide.Different people have different interpretations of freedom. For some people, freedom means having a lot of money or free time, while others interpret freedom as living without restrictions or limitations.

Franchises are a great way for people to have freedom and flexibility.

It also doesn’t mean your time in it was a waste of time because you can leverage the resources, knowledge, and sphere you build in your next venture. [09:13]The whole idea of networking happy hour is a little antiquated in that you don’t have to spill your guts to somebody the first time you meet them and tell them all the things you do in hopes that there is a relationship that can start there. Instead, focus on establishing commonality and getting to know each other from there. [14:55]Entrepreneurship is the best way to empower anyone or any community.[17:18]“If you are used to placing yourself in uncomfortable situations at your own doing, you will have the mental stability to deal with it when it comes from an external place.” ~Lisa Song Sutton [41:55]“The more resources you have and the more blessings you have, you should be paying that forward.” ~Lisa Song Sutton [43:48]If you don’t have financial security, you are seeking it in turn. And sometimes you find it in your significant other. The crazy part about that is that you lose yourself because you now have to conform to that person’s preferences in exchange for security.

Fifteen Minute Friday #23. In this episode, award-winning comedian & keynote speaker Jenn Lederer explores the delicate balance between being present and open. She delves into why finding this balance is crucial for personal growth, as being open and vulnerable frees us from self and others' judgments, enabling greater creativity. Jenn shares her insights on how this practice has personally impacted her.Quote Of The Day: “There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you.” ~ Martha GrahamTimestamp: [00:31] Know our guest; Jenn Lederer [02:08] Quote of the day: “There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost.

Learn Speak Teach Episode #56 with Steve D Sims.We all want more from our business, but it is easy to feel like we need more time and energy to get ahead. Many of us struggle with figuring out how to create more, work smarter rather than harder, and make things happen. However, shifting your mindset and having the right people around you is a game changer. Sometimes it’s not about being the smartest or most well prepared. To succeed in business you need to ‘go for stupid,’ set lofty goals, and stand out from the pack.You need to ensure you have the right mentors in your circle. The people in your circle can block your progress or create a ripple of positive energy that can help you achieve your goals. If they are broke, you will be broke. If they are struggling, you will also struggle, but if they are successful, you will also be successful. Until you break the cycle and change your circle, you will be an ingredient of the people you hang out with. In today’s episode, Steve D Sims shares his journey, what makes him successful, and the ingredients you need to start soaring as a leader and entrepreneur.Steve is the “Real Life Wizard of Oz” and the Founder of Luxury Concierge Service, Blue Fish, which is internationally famous.

Learn Speak Teach Episode 55 with Carla Fowler.Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/yyr8s3OUWaAWe often dismiss mental clarity as a luxury we can't afford, but when we are clear-headed, we can solve problems, make decisions and confidently lead our teams. Mental clarity is essential for the success of your business, but maintaining it can be difficult when you feel overwhelmed by your workload and responsibilities. Luckily, there are ways you can increase your mental clarity and level up to move to the next step, no matter where you are.In today’s episode, Carla Fowler shares her journey, what inspired her into executive coaching and high performance, and how you can build your mental clarity, get started, keep going, and be consciously confident in your goals.Carla is an MD, Ph.D., and the Managing Director at THAXA Executive Coaching, Inc., an incredible boutique executive coaching firm that leverages the best ideas from performance science to help leaders around the globe.Tune in!PS.

As human beings, we remember the beginnings and the endings more than we remember what happened in between. [14:13] ~ In coaching, particularly for people who’re leading or growing a business or on a deadline for results that are required, they don’t want to wait six months of coaching to feel like they are making progress. Usually, by the time someone wants to go get a coach, they are ready to have the results yesterday. [16:52] ~ When we have mental clarity, it actually solves a lot of problems that might not on the surface seem connected. [22:24] ~ “We have influence, but we can’t start to influence things until we actually know what we want and how we want to influence it.” [26:17] ~ Very few things are gained in a day, particularly if you’re building a skillset or something that really matters. I often think about compounding. The idea of investing effort over time. It’s not going to be won in a day, but I know if I start today, when I look back a year from now, I’ll be in an entirely different place because of the efforts I started today. [36:22] ~ Getting started is critical, and starting at a level that doesn’t immediately turn you off. Once you get started you have to figure out how to keep going.

Learn Speak Teach Episode #53 with Andrea Marcellus.Let’s be real: Are you tired of trendy workout regimens, not eating what you love, saying no thank you because you’re on diet, not enjoying your life, and still not getting anywhere? Health and well-being can be so much easier to obtain than you even think. Every time you label food as ‘good and bad,’ you’re in effect, saying that the food will make you either good or bad. This not only makes you guilty but also impacts your self-worth. Instead, you can focus on what the food does, beneficial or non-beneficial, rather than whether it is good or bad. When you choose foods that are awesome and beneficial, you are choosing awesomeness and sending a signal to yourself that you’re only worth the most awesome things. Awesome means it generates energy and joy in you. Choosing it will help you improve your health and well-being. You are awesome. Your body is awesome. You deserve success.Andrea is a life strategist and fitness expert with 25 years of experience, a writer, actress, parent, friend and person just like everyone else who struggles to be and do all that they feel capable of and still have a respectable social life.

Golden Rule: treat people the way you want to be treated. Platinum Rule: If you treat people better than they expected you to treat them, it will not only benefit them, but it will also benefit you along the way. ~ [05:08]~ When we show up in conversations because our brains are wired for self-preservation, we communicate from our highest training, knowledge and experience because we don’t want to come across as not credible. So, we tap into the things we think we’re the smartest and most knowledgable about, which tend to be the things that are us-driven and our agenda. In sales, these tend to be the things we’ve been training the most on, which are our product facts, features, figures and benefits. They activate the analytical network of the person receiving the information, which triggers the evaluation, comparison, analysis, skepticism, judgement and reverence, which puts us in a defensive posture. You’ve to bypass the analytical network to activate the emotional network to build things like personal trust, authenticity, honesty, vulnerability and all the things that connect us as humans. Once that is established in the brain, it opens up the analytical network to think about what we’re saying in a different lens, look for reasons to support what we’re saying and do business with us. ~ [16:59]It is about what they care about, not what you care about. ~ [32:31]~You don’t have to be right; you just have to be prepared… Give your prospect a story and ask them to react, give them a problem and ask them to react. ~ [37:50]----LST is powered by www.balbertmarketing.com

Go ahead and do what you are great at, and let whoever notices you make modifications afterward.

Learn Speak Teach Episode 50 w/ Stan Phelps!Watch The Full Episode: https://youtu.be/QiEuhP8lU0M----Full Show Notes: https://realbusinessconnections.com/episode/stanphelps/ ----During this episode, you will learn about;[00:00] Episode intro and a quick bio of our guest; Stan Phelps[06:34] Stan’s rainbow of 11 colored goldfish.[13:04] An example of a business that has the massive goldfish differentiation [18:23] Stan's background[27:38] Value-based techniques to differentiate[33:22] Purple, Green, and Gold Goldfish [35:20] Case study on the impact of doing a little something extra on sales[44:54] “The pick-end rule” [46:25] Ben’s biggest takeaway from reading Pink Goldfish[48:40] Flawesomeness[52:01] What Stan is working on right now and how we can support him [53:14] How to reach out, connect, and learn more about Stan [52:43] Homework: How to start owning your flaws to be different and unique [54:55] Final ThoughtsKey Takeaways: ~ No one has control over their market, their competition, let alone the economy. The only thing you can control is how you differentiate in what you do. It’s hard to differentiate with what you offer, but you can differentiate in how you do it and why you do it. ~ [11:54]~ Referred customers are more valuable to you than the traditionally acquired customer. They stay longer. They spend more money, twice the amount of money as traditional customers, and since they have been referred themselves, they refer up to twice the number over their lifetime. ~ [23:11]~On time is a myth, people in life are either early or they are late. No one is ever just on time and the same thing applies to the customers we serve each and every day. No one has ever just exactly met the expectations of a customers they serve. We either exceed the expectations or fall short. This gives the choice of doing a little more or a little less. ~ [26:58]~70% of people buy based on experience, 30% buy solely buy based on price. Given a choice, never compete based on price. It’s a race to the bottom. Provide something that makes you different from all of your competition and give your people a reason to talk about you ~ [32:33]~People make a decision very quickly when visiting an establishment or starting a new job, whether or not they will come back and stay for the long term. How you manage that first impression is key, and before somebody walks out the door, logs off your sight, or hangs on the phone, how you manage that last impression is key. ~ [44:20]~Every weakness has a corresponding strength to it, but we tend to try to fit in and live by the norms of our industry or where we live. A lot of times, by conforming, we try to correct the things that are unique about us to fit in. What makes us weird, unique, and different is truly what makes us wonderful. ~ [49:05]~Your brand today is no longer what you tell people it’s. It’s the differentiated experience your employees deliver, it’s what you stand for, how your customers feel, and most importantly, your brand is what your customers and employees tell others about their experience. ~ [52:41]----LST is powered by www.balbertmarketing.com

The fear is “if I dare to be myself, if I dare to express my voice, if I dare to be who I am, you won’t love me, and I’m going to be alone and cursed.” ~ [08:51] “Life is a series of choices, and some choices can shift the course of our destiny.” ~ [09:32]~ “Sometimes what your soul guides you to do doesn’t always make sense to your mind through your logic, but if you follow your soul and don’t compromise your truth you will always be guided to the right people and places, doing the right thing even though the route you take may not be the one you were expecting.” ~ [10:20]~ “You can’t be fulfilled and happy being someone you’re not, and you can’t be fulfilled and happy living someone else's life. There is no shortage of people that will think they know what is best for your life and your evolution and will have so much advice for you, but the truth is, our souls know.” ~ [12:11]~ “We’re all being guided by wisdom inside of us and innate intelligence which we don’t listen to. We’re so busy that we’re not in tune with it, we’re so busy that we distract ourselves, we’re so busy that we don’t hear our own souls and wisdom deep inside us. We look outside of ourselves for guidance and end up misguided.” ~ [16:51]~ “People think in manifesting you have to go chase things, create things and make them happen, but in life, you don’t get what you want, you don’t even get what you pray or visualize about, you get what you are.” ~ [19:11]~ “Surrender is letting go of control; surrender is letting go of trying to force and manipulate life to fit our limited idea of how we think it should be and who we think we should be. In letting go, we take limitations off life, and we open ourselves to the infinite possibilities.” ~ [25:42]~ “Surrendering is the most powerful thing we can do as human beings. Surrender is the password to freedom, is the key to the next level, and is the key to true manifestation.” ~ [27:06]~ “Stop praying for the waves of the ocean to get easier. Instead, develop your mental, emotional and psychological muscle to be able to surf through the waves, you don’t have any control of the ocean, but you’ve control over the training of your mental capacity.”~ [38:35]~ “Life is a school. Life is a university for our souls' evolution. Every experience, every relationship, every challenge is part of the curriculum for our soul evolution, so every moment is an opportunity to evolve. In every situation, if we are able to learn the lesson, we evolve and graduate to the next level.” ~ [41:28]“Pain is gift, pain is a messenger, pain is your friend, you must learn to pay attention to the pain and embrace the message of the pain because often by acknowledging the pain, the pain is a portal to a deeper level of our truth trying to get our attention.” ~ [49:42]--FULL SHOW NOTES AT: https://realbusinessconnections.com/episode/kute/

Real Hit #37 - Insight Out Live, "Inside The Mind Of Alex Hormozi."Show Notes: Is there really a secret to success? Entrepreneur Alex Hormozi learned a lot of lessons on his way to making $100 million in sales – and now he helps other business owners figure out how to do the same. In this week’s episode, we explore the top takeaways from Alex’s success. Brenden talks about how his path first crossed Alex’s, shares his experience in a recent collaboration and explores why haters may be a good benchmark of progress. “If you wanna help 10,000 people, you get used to the idea that four or five hundred people are gonna hate your guts for no reason other than you being you. Because remember, nobody is booing nobodies. So if you’re somebody, it means people are gonna start booing you.” – Brenden (03:39)We also analyze some of the key insights Brenden learned from Alex’s rise to the top, and talk about the simple three-pronged approach to success that built Alex’s brand into an empire.“That’s the key – when we start to bring emotion into our business, that’s when we start to lose. What Alex has found is the people who are successful, the people who make it to the end are often the people who are willing to do the boring work long enough.” – Brenden (26:36)3 Things Everyone Should Know About SuccessPractice what you preach. Many of us need to be reminded more than we need to be taught. In other words, we often already understand what we need to do – we just need to make sure we actually do it. Narrow your focus. Most of the world’s most successful people prioritized one or two things until they built a following, a brand, an empire. Instead of splitting our efforts between multiple goals, we should focus 100% of our energy in one area. Don’t wish for success – wish for the skill necessary to be successful. The idea of the burning wish comes from a popular card game where one character wished for a weapon, but not the power to wield it. Wishing for success doesn’t make us successful – get out there and start doing, and success will follow.

Notable Quotes ~ “It’s worth having someone on your team focus on the sales operations, technology, and enablement. If you have 10 salespeople, the 11th person on the team should be the person you bring on to manage the operations and technology.” ~ [11:41]
~ “Everyone has a CRM. If your CRM is just taking notes and putting them all over your desk, that is still a customer relationship management system.” ~ [14:05]
~ “Choose a CRM and other technologies that really fit with what your motion is going to be as you scale.” ~ [15:29]
~ “On day one, a spreadsheet is fine, but once you have 3 or 4 people that are interacting with customer data, you probably want to upgrade to a CRM, and if you are a small company, Hubspot is a great recommendation.” ~ [15:42]
~ “As a sales manager, you know what is important, you can figure out when your team is good for different individual skillset, you can feel out who is great at what and enable them to be a leader on the team and teach everyone else how they can do it for your product specifically.” ~ [33:31]
~ “As the sales manager, you don’t have to be the expert in everything. Find the expertise in your team and empower them to be coaches.” ~ [34:46]

Notable Quotes ~ “People will buy into your story if you are authentic, truthful, and vulnerable with them.” ~ [07:57]
~ “So many of us think transactions and focus on the top and end of the funnel; we never think of how we can maximize what we’re doing in the back end.” ~ [22:39]
~ “Partnership and collaboration are so important; you have to think of how you can partner with someone who has your ideal client.”~ [31:43]
~ “Sometimes, before adding any products to your business, you have to look at it holistically and understand that you have to make decisions based on data and not just that it sounds like a good idea.”~ [32:31]
“Your family will always support you for who you are, but sometimes it’s not always for who you can become; in order to become the person you want to be, you have to destroy and murder the person that you are now to level up to the next step.”~ [42:34]
“Our own uniqueness and struggles gives birth to our greatness. Understanding that we’re all unique and we all have our own struggles. Unpacking that, acknowledging it, and taking ownership of it allows us to rise above.”~ [53:14]

Dai Manuel epitomizes this concept of self-confidence.
If you've ever met Dai, you have been dazzled by his absolute certainty that he can and will serve his clients in a BIG way.
But, this hasn't always been the case. He had to work for it. Hours and years of work.

🚀 Unlock VAST reserves of confidence in your body & soul, 🚀 Get on the fast-track to extraordinary results in sales & life, and 🚀 Express your confidence in a way that best serves your clients!
This conversation will happen FAST and will be VERY high-energy...

Notable Quotes
~ “if you want to be successful, you’ve got to be disciplined. Discipline is doing what you don’t want when you don’t want to do it, and the best way to put it into practice is separating planning your attack from attacking your plan.” ~ [03:39]
~ “Start your day with your toughest and most important task that requires the most focus. Also accept the reality that most days you will not get everything done that you set out to do, but if you prioritize before attacking that list, even if you don’t, at least you can sleep with the peace knowing that you did the most important task first.” ~ [08:23]
~ “Your attitude is more important than your circumstances. The adversity you are dealing with is less important than your perspective on it. The only two things that you can control are your effort and your attitude, and you should focus on those things.” ~ [13:09]
~ “If you want to be a great salesperson, anytime you are taking action, whether it’s cold calling, cold emailing, giving a proposal, showing a demo, or meeting a customer for lunch, think about what one of the average do and do the opposite.” ~ [21:21]
~ “Most salespeople are not good, they don’t take pride in the profession and the craft, they don’t care about the psychology. By doing the opposite, you are setting yourself apart. You cannot be perceived to be better until you are perceived to be different.” ~ [21:39]

Notable Quotes
~ “If we don’t concentrate and focus on the goals we want to achieve in life, our goals will simply be a dream, and we can’t leave our goals to be dreams. The difference between a dream and a goal is that goals have tangible steps.” ~ [08:43]
~ “If you have not done the random word exercise a hundred times, the steps don’t matter; you get points on how many times you do the exercise, not on how well you do it.” ~ [09:52]
~ “Fear of communication… the anxiety of communication... can never be completely removed. It’s kind of if you are in a marriage and expecting every day to be a great day; that is a wrong expectation.” ~ [15:36]
“Think of your fear or anxiety like a boxing match, where one side of the ring is fear or any stressors, and the other side of the ring is the message and why it’s important for you to share. The goal is not for the fear to leave the ring, but to make sure when the two meet in the middle, and the bell rings, the message gets the knockout punch.” ~ [16:48]
~ “The best speakers on the planet use three tones at the same time so that they can go high, low, and regular at any time, don’t stay at the same tone when doing public speaking.” ~ [31:25]
~ “What's great about practicing communication is that the worst thing that can happen is that you get better.” ~ [40:04]
~ “Pausing is the most important power technique in communication; it allows us to emphasize the key parts of our message; you want to pause at the parts of your speech where you feel your audience should pay attention to.” ~ [47:27]
~ “The reason you need a smile in your speech is that the presentation isn’t about you and what you think. The presentation is about the results and outcome you are delivering for the client.” ~ [52:15]

Notable Quotes
~ “Every single season that we walk in through life, wonderful or terrible, has gifts in it for us, has things for us to learn, has people for us to connect to, and has all these things for us to glean to… that we don’t always see at the moment.” ~ [26:29]
~ “We each have our own journeys, and the things that we glean along the journey are part of what we can give the people that we serve..”~ [27:04]
“Sometimes we have to be pushed to find that we can fly and when we’re pushed and we’re stepping into what we’re called to do, we’re not left on our own.”~ [31:55]
“Keep your eyes open because when you look for mentors, sometimes they look different than you think; you might have one in front of you and not recognize it.”~ [36:42]
“The authority that we bring to the people we serve is based not only on your professional experience but also your personal experience because nobody has ever lived your life. There is nobody else who has ever lived your life; there is nobody who has your exact identity; there is nobody who has your exact voice; there is nobody who has your exact authority based on your professional and personal experience.”~ [44:45]
“The purpose of business is to solve problems and take care of people. You cannot take care of people if you are freaked out about keeping up with everybody else.”~ [46:22]
“We live in an abundant world; there is more than enough to go around; It doesn’t matter if there are 50,000 people who do what you do in your area, there is no one exactly like you, and this is part of what sets you apart.”~ [46:48]
~ “Every single one of us has an identity center in our brains which is the same place for our goal center, so if you keep setting goals for yourself and you are not following through on them, it might not be time to beat yourself up but to see if they are in alignment with who you actually are.” ~ [48:03]
~ “Our identity centers resonate with each other; when some identity center resonates with your identity center, they will be drawn to you, but if you’re showing up in alignment with your true identity, they will feel the disconnection, and it will repel them off.” ~ [49:22]
~ “When we’re playing small, when we’re showing up as we think we should, and when we’re trying to be like everybody else, we’re robbing the people that we’re here to serve the opportunity and the power that we have to help jailbreak their brain.” ~ [49:22]

Notable Quotes ~ “People can compete on price, people can compete on service, but no one can compete with the depth of relationship and loyalty that you have with someone.” ~ [03:21]
~ “Most businesses know that relationships are their competitive advantage, but they have absolutely no systems or strategies to leverage all that goodness in their business ” ~ [03:38]
~ “Business owners are really good at wearing their business hat, but taking a look at your business and people through the human lens that we all have is critical .” ~ [05:33]
~ “Taking a human approach to your business relationships will exponentially impact the level of depth and reciprocity that you have; It’s treating people like humans.”~ [06:29]
“Any good business strategy starts with who and why; It is not about everyone; it's about narrowing down to who are the critical relationship in your business and who you want to focus on and why.”~ [07:41]
“Most business owners take people out, which has no longevity; there is nothing in their home that will physically and touchably keep them on top minds. So always look for long-term consistent touches and know why you're doing what you're doing”~ [26:58]
“No one cares about the company logo that is just not special to anyone but you and your employees; your clients love you and working with you but what matters to them is what should be on the gift and what the gift should represent.”~ [32:29]

~ “Eye contact on your profile is important; it makes your audience feel like you are connecting with them.” ~ [15:57]

Notable Quotes ~ “If you’re selling out, your job is to persuade people to buy your product, which is a narrow focus, and with that mindset, you can’t focus on what is more important to buyers.” ~ [08:43]
~ “Selling-in is based on a mindset that your job is not persuading people to do something but to listen to the buyer to understand the things that are truly important to them and helping them get what they need.” ~ [09:43]
~ “If you put in the framework to help buyers make a decision, you’re likely to lean on your connection to curiosity to understand your generosity and help the buyer do that.” ~ [13:32]
~ “When buyers are making decisions about something, all they remember is their experience with you as a seller.” ~ [22:03]
~ “When people buy, they buy from a human, not from a company or a process, so it’s important as a seller to be intentional about bringing the best version of yourself to every interaction with a buyer.” ~ [23:09]
~ “Every time a buyer invests some time and attention in you as a seller, just like any other investment in life, they are expecting returns.” ~ [37:45]
~ “If a lot of people are uninterested, go find people who are; change the way you’re targeting, your ICP, and other variances you can control as a seller.” ~ [45:24]
~ “Having an acumen in sales is not about knowing how your one situation is similar to another but knowing how they are different and being able to respond at the moment.” ~ [48:23]
~ “The more you better yourself to sales, the more you find it easier to connect with buyers and build that level of trust; being transparent about who you are, leave success in so many dimensions.” ~ [51:35]

Notable Quotes ~ “If you want to build a business, one of the most important tools is documenting; create a playbook of how your business is going to operate to get rid of black holes where people have to call you to ask how to do something or who to go to.” ~ [05:17]
~ “The mind has to be right first, then you can focus on sales and with sales comes leadership; leadership can apply to your family, friends, business… ” ~ [17:30]
~ “You might be in those shoes right now, where you don't have any recognition and the financial capability to grow, but if you keep adapting and changing, you will get it right, and this will open the door for another right time, and you will keep evolving through the tunnels of life until you eventually become the person you want to be.” ~ [21:36]
~ “If you want to be successful, show how you want to be successful; if you want to win, show how you want to win, how much you want, and how you are going to do it.” ~ [33:10]
~ “A lot of people go with the flow. But, creating something that you are comfortable doing right now and using the same script to play every single time is a lot more effective.”~ [37:20]
“The first thing you can do to start creating your playbook is to write down what makes someone successful in your industry, job, or passion and how you can implement that into your business in your own style consistently.”~ [37:46]
“A great sales or successful person takes a little bit from everybody; somebody who is ignorant or has stopped learning is closed off, and they don’t take anything of value from conversations.”~ [38:46]
“It is okay to have fun and entertainment, but at the same time, look for the growth, seek the growth, find the growth and grasp the growth; growth is not going to find you.”~ [44:04]
“Open up the door and be very curious in life because the more you open, the more you learn; one door opens the next door.”~ [49:56]

You may be familiar with Chris's interviews on YouTube, but to call them “interviews” doesn’t seem fair because they are so much more than that. Chris dives deep into interesting topics with his trademark conversational approach, making it feel like two old friends catching up. This is the case when chatting with wrestling superstars like John Cena, The Rock, or Hulk Hogan, or a Hollywood A-Lister like Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, or Will Smith.
Let’s tap into some of his wisdom.

~ “Don't be a carbon copy of somebody else. Choose one thing from one person and another from a different person (and another) to create your own toolkit that will help you progress in life!”
~ “Success is a process, and by studying the process of success in others, you can improve your own. Learn the steps and methods successful people use to succeed, and emulate them. Successful people leave clues.”
~ “Try to build a good rapport with people so that when you ask a question that's difficult to answer, they will be more comfortable opening up to you.”

Learn Speak Teach #35 w/ Erik Cabral
Watch the full episode: youtu.be/kQFZvheVpRA
The pursuit of success can feel like mental slavery to the point where most people feel they have no choice but to conform and follow a certain lifestyle. We've become conditioned to believe that to be successful, we must sacrifice our time, energy, health, or even happiness. In reality, there are many ways we can gain success without giving up our personal genius.
Join this conversation with Erik Cabral.
Erik left corporate America after 20+ years. He jumped head first into real estate investing to achieve financial freedom. Educating himself, building networks, and analyzing hundreds of deals, he purchased his first multi-family building in less than one year.
Now, Erik is also the founder of the fast-growing multi-media agency On Air Brands, host of The Entrepreneurs Circle Podcast, and a partner at the Renault Winery & Resort, which is the 2nd oldest winery in the US. In addition, Erik offers private capital to his network of investors for various projects and looks for opportunities to expand and grow his network in the real estate investing, podcasting, and entrepreneurial space.

The old way to sell was to push your agenda or even pressure your buyer. Guess what? Times have changed. To stand out in the” sea of sameness,” you must be a master storyteller with a magnetic message that pulls people in.
Storytelling is a powerful and persuasive way to communicate ideas. For example, a story about your company's values may keep customers loyal, and an engaging story about how you're solving customer problems may help close the sale.
Join this episode with John as we explore how storytelling can be applied as a sales tool, marketing strategy, negotiation tactic, and more.
John Livesay, aka The Pitch Whisperer, is a sales keynote speaker who shows sales teams how to turn mundane case studies into compelling case stories, so they win more new business.
His TEDx talk: "Be The Lifeguard of Your Own Life," has over 1,000,000 views. Clients love working with John because of his ongoing support after his talk, which includes implementing storytelling skills.
He is also the host of “The Successful Pitch” podcast, which is heard in over 60 countries. These interviews make him a sales keynote speaker with fresh and relevant content.
His book The Sale Is in the Tale is a business fable set in Austin, TX, about a sales rep whose old ways of selling are not working anymore. The reader accompanies the rep on his journey and learns how to use storytelling and strengthen their soft skills to improve their sales.
Let’s tap into some of John’s wisdom.

Notable Quotes ~ “As an entrepreneur, you need to keep learning new skills to remain in the game. This will help you grow your business in terms of clients and revenues.”
~ “When we transcend the limited way in which we see ourselves, and truly realize that our identity is bigger than anything that is happening to us, we become free from the effects of external circumstances, and have a sense of inner peace.”
~ “A common misconception about human decision-making is that logic is the first line of defense. In reality, most people make their decisions emotionally and then back them up with logical arguments.”
~ “In storytelling, the better you describe a problem and show empathy, the more people think you have the solution.”
~ “The key to overcoming rejection is to never give up on oneself. Rejection can be faced head-on with a positive attitude and the perseverance to keep trying.” Get John’s Book and other Resources The Sale Is in the Tale by John Livesay: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09R4G61N9/.

Notable Quotes ~ “Intuition is your oracle and the most important thing. Follow your heart, and it will take you where you were meant to go.”
~ “The secret to success is focusing on the process. Through the processes, you will be able to figure out what's working, what's not, and how far you are from what you are working towards.”
~ “If you don't know your end goal, you'll most likely lose the stamina to follow the process. You'll be purely doing that thing as a hobby.”
~ “It's good to keep your commitments, but better to know when to say no if you don't want to commit.”
~ “Even on tight schedules, we'll always have time for what we prioritize. It is a choice. We all have time for what we want to have time for.” Resources Mentioned Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown: https://www.amazon.com/Essentialism-Disciplined-Pursuit-Greg-McKeown/dp/0804137404/

Learn Speak Teach #25 w/ Mark Bowden
We all have an approach and retreat response in us. An approach response is characterized by a desire to move towards something, while the retreat response is characterized by a desire to move away from something. Our body language is one of the most powerful ways to create a pleasant or unpleasant impression on another. Join this conversation with Mark Bowden as we talk about the fundamentals of how to communicate with others, the neural architecture of engagement, and the science of why some people are going to engage with you while at other times they just won't.
Mark Bowden is widely recognized as one of the world’s foremost experts on body language, behavior, and nonverbal communication. He has been voted the #1 Body Language Professional three times. A sought-after keynote speaker globally, Mark trains groups and individuals on using their body language to stand out, win the trust and gain credibility every time they speak. Mark is a member of viral Youtube Channel The Behavior Panel.
As the founder of communication training company TRUTHPLANE®, his clients include leading business people, teams, politicians, presidents and CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, and current Prime Ministers of G7 powers. He is a bestselling author of 4 books on body language and human behavior, with his first book Winning Body Language, now translated into five different languages. Mark is also the presentation trainer for The Kellogg-Schulich Executive MBA, and ranked #1 in the world by The Economist.

Notable Quotes ~ “Every human being has the approach and retreat response in them, and there are certain environments that they’ll be more likely to approach and others to retreat. Therefore, we can choose our behaviors and body language to give us the best opportunities to stimulate people with a correct judgment.”
~ “If you make everybody your audience, you’ll fail. Besides, you should pinpoint the right audience and those who matter to you the most. Some people matter more than others if you aim to communicate clearly.”
~ “Getting more knowledge is not a guarantee of success. It only increases its chances. In fact, nothing in the world is guaranteed. We live in possibilities and hope.”
~ “Though you can learn a lot of things by reading books or listening to a podcast, the best and easiest one is through interaction and networking with people and peers. From them, you get first-hand information about their successes and failures. ”

Generosity is a crucial factor for a healthy business. It’s the key to building genuine trust. Just by creating a culture that values giving, companies can enjoy improved profitability and employee engagement. Additionally, employees who feel valued and have growth opportunities will work harder to make their company even more successful. In this episode with April Shprintz, we will talk about how leaders can create a culture of generosity to help bring more success to their businesses.
April Shprintz is the Creator of The Generosity Culture, a Business Accelerator, Speaker, Author & Host of the “Pouring Into Your Business” Podcast. She is a catalyst for change, bringing infectious energy that inspires and motivates people outside of the workplace. Her career has spanned from the Air Force, to corporate America, to her firm—Driven Outcomes—where she works with companies globally. Her work has helped generate over $1 billion in additional revenue using the principles she’s created.
When April is not teaching companies how to “pour into” their people, clients, and community, she invests her time with various nonprofits helping children, veterans, and those experiencing homelessness. Let’s learn more with April Shprintz!

~ “The fastest way to achieve success is to first help others. If you help those around you, they’ll be more likely to return the favor and support your goals.”
~ “If you do not keep on reading and updating your knowledge capacity, you are not better than someone who is illiterate. Broaden your horizons ”

Notable Quotes ~ “Today, there is no excuse; you can’t use the words “I don’t know how” because we’re living in an age where if you don’t know something, there is a video or an article that can teach you.”
~ “If you don’t bring energy every day and don’t show up at 110%, you cannot create a long-lasting impression.”
~ “Today, distribution is not a problem; we have zero barriers to distributing our content; the problem is creating content and constantly doing it.”
~ “Post what you want people to know about your brand; this is the image that you want to develop; it’s who you are online and your choice of who you want to be.”

~ “One thing that holds people back is questioning everything about themselves. If you just did it, you will take so many leaps, get more experience, and be better off. Twenty years from now, it’s not the things you do that you’re going to regret, but the things you didn’t do, so just do it.”

Billions have been discriminated against throughout history because of their race, religion, or socioeconomic status. However, many have overcome these barriers and achieved the American Dream.
Jevon McCormick, who joins us in this episode, is one of the many examples of individuals that have achieved massive success despite incredible adversity.
Jevon was born the son of a black pimp father and a white single mother on welfare. Poverty, abuse, eviction, and discrimination were a daily part of his life.
Today, he is currently the President and CEO of Scribe Media (formerly Book In A Box), a multi-million dollar publishing company that helps entrepreneurs, executives, and experts write, publish, and market their books. He is also a speaker and the author of “I Got There: : How a Mixed-Race Kid Overcame Racism, Poverty, and Abuse to Arrive at the American Dream.” He lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife, Megan, and their four children.
In today’s episode, we explore where we came from, where we are, and where we’re going in the world of leadership and business. The future is about PEOPLE — putting people first in a way that doesn’t sacrifice profit but actually amplifies it.

Notable Quotes
~ “One of the most challenging responsibilities of parenting is to equip your children with everything they need, while making sure they never forget how much that would have been impossible without effort.”
~ “A company's success relies on collective effort, so it's impossible for one person to have the power to carry the whole enterprise. A team of people know more about what is going on and are better able to connect with the customers than just one person.”
~ “Great people will build great processes, which enables you to make great profits. This allows you to make great things for the community that you live and work in. It’s a simple success recipe: People. Process. Profits”
~ “Never judge anyone, because everyone has their story and you do not know about it.”

Blog Transcript: We all know that babies need help in order to survive.
Babies have no problem asking for help (loudly) by crying.
Yet as we get older, we tend to start becoming more independent. We say things like “I can do it myself.”
This is the natural process of growing up.
However, the concept of doing everything ourselves can really be detrimental.
Here are three easy ways you can let others help you.
1) The key to the fear of the unknown is: don’t go it alone! A healthy ego is one that realizes it can’t do everything alone and needs other experts to help.
If you think you can do everything by yourself, you will not go far.
As the African proverb says: “If you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together.”
2) Asking for and getting help is not a form of weakness. When I decided to launch my podcast six years ago, the concept of editing the podcast and getting it out on all the platforms and creating transcripts was overwhelming.
Luckily for me I found a great company called Podetize. They produce my podcast so I can do what I love best: interviewing!
Another friend of mine was also thinking of starting a podcast at the same time and thought I was crazy to pay someone to help me do something that I could “figure out on my own.”
Now I have over 300 episodes out in the world, and she has yet to launch her podcast.
Sometimes, trying to do everything yourself causes you to never get anything done.
More recently, I had eyelid surgery to help my vision.
The doctor told me that not only would I need someone to take me home after the surgery, but I should have somebody stay with me because I should not be bending over or lifting anything.
Luckily, my sister Barbara came in from Chicago to stay with me in Austin for the week.
In a way, when you’re sick or recovering, you go back to being completely helpless.
I certainly couldn’t bend over to put the harness on my dog and take him for a walk, for example.
She was also fantastic at helping me keep ice on my eyes for three consecutive days.
3) The next time you think you can do it all alone, remember that we all need each other. Letting other people help you in your career and in your personal life is a form of self love.
Love yourself enough to let others give you what you need, or pay them to help you in your career.

Learn Speak Teach #12 w/ Sean Crane.
Watch The Full Episode: https://youtu.be/cOZbEvrtqTI
There is no way of escaping the mental prison unless you break free of it. Mental prisons are a significant obstacle for people who want to break free and achieve their goals. They are like walls that we build around ourselves and prevent us from being our best selves. The key to breaking free is to accept that you’re not perfect and that you’re capable of making mistakes.
Join the conversation with Sean Crane as he shares his journey from prison to becoming a Life Coach, TedX Speaker, and a Best-Selling Author.
At 23, Sean Crane was sentenced to 7 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. With nothing positive to show for his life up to that point and a massive challenge ahead, he had a decision to make… Would he give up and let the rest of his life pass him by as the first 23 years did, or could he face his fears, fight through the pain and pursue the life he always wanted?
From a small cement box, Sean was able to take control of his life. He completely transformed his mentality, his routines, and the results he got in his life. “In that cell, I started to create the life of my dreams that I am able to live today.”
Sean Michael Crane is a life coach with an incredible story of perseverance and determination. He has used his hardships and life experience to reach others and inspire them to conquer their fears and pursue the life they have always dreamed of living just as he has.
Tune in!
During this episode, you will learn about; [00:49] What’s in it for you in today’s episode [02:58] How Sean ended up with 2,000 days in prison [06:05] Sean’s upbringing and childhood experiences [09:13] The aftermath of the fight and trial in court [11:37] How hard it was to plead guilty [15:49] Mental reactions that Sean had while in prison [19:11] Things you can do to avoid risky situations that could land you in prison [22:13] How to change your mindset- starting today! [28:23] Learn to take responsibility for your predicaments [35:09] Best approaches you can use to help people [38:16] Self-made ideas are more powerful than outside ideas [40:34] About Sean’s book, how it came about, and why you need a copy [43:06] Rapid fire questions [44:06] How to connect with Sean [44:39] Key takeaway lessons for you [46:07] Episode wrap up
Notable Quotes ~ “Real friends are known in times of need.” ~ “The jail cell could be the missing puzzle in your life.

FIVE MINUTE FRIDAY #11
"7 Simple Steps to Guarantee You’ll Win The Day" w/ your host, Ben Albert
Transcript: Are you a winner!? If so, you need to take calculated steps to ensure you win the day, every day! A lot of small parts lead up a massive whole. So let’s focus on the essential actions necessary to effectively boost your efficiency every day!
I’m Ben Albert of Balbert Marketing, and I’m here to provide 7 simple steps to guarantee you win the day!
-
Plan Your Day The Night Before: Seriously, don’t leave the next day to chance. At the end of each day, write out all the things you need to do the following day to achieve your goals. Write out your schedule to the best of your ability. What I love to do is is make a list of NON-NEGOTIABLES for the next day. I put them on a big whiteboard, so it’s in front of me the moment I reach the office (the guest bedroom) in the morning.
-
Prioritize Your Non-Negotiables: Number each item and do the more challenging jobs first. There’s always the temptation to do the easy jobs first. However, think how the thought of doing the complex jobs hangs over you as you do the easy stuff. Think how good you’ll feel when the toughest tasks are out of the way. I like to do some of my most important tasks absolutely first thing in the morning.
-
Stick To Your List: Check off each item. Don’t get distracted. Don’t let emails and texts ruin your momentum. You don’t need to answer every email/text as they come in. Set a schedule to check your email/notifications at a specific time each day to avoid constantly checking. Or really, do whatever strategy works best for you! But make sure you stick to your list!
-
Remember the Three “D’s”: Do it, Delegate it or Dump it. When a new task comes up, take action immediately. Either do something about it now, delegate it to someone else or throw it in the trash. Don’t waste unnecessary time, especially in the morning, thinking about tasks without taking action.
-
Don’t Procrastinate: I know I just addressed this in the three Ds. But I think it’s important to hammer this one down. Don’t procrastinate! Take your list of priorities and get them done! You can do it! And if/when you do check texts and emails, address them right away! No procrastination!
-
Schedule in breaks and fun tasks: Schedule out time in your day to take a walk, work out, relax and decompress, or anything that makes you happy. Make the workday less stressful and more fun. And plan that time out! Schedule it! To win the day, you need to take time off for yourself.
-
Keep it Real: Seriously, sometimes we all need a reality check. Ask yourself, “am I slacking off.” “Am I living up to my potential?” “Am I holding myself accountable?” If the answer is no, remember, you’re only human. But let’s get better!
I appreciate you engaging with me today, I’m going to coming at you with countless tips, and to make it more fun, most weeks will have an expert guest; if you’d like to learn more about Balbert Marketing and our services, I encourage you to go to balbertmarketing.com

FIVE MINUTE FRIDAY #9
"The Top 7 Excuses To Not Network DEBUNKED" by Hannah Morgan.
Transcript: It’s easy to make excuses for not networking. A lot of people just don’t like doing it or don’t know how easy it really is.
Here are the top 7 reasons people give for not networking (and I'll debunk them).
-
I don’t know anyone Yes, you do! You can network with anyone- friends, family or past co-workers. Just reach out to the people you know and ask how they are doing and what’s new. That’s all networking is. You do not need to ask for anything. Just reach out and see what happens.
-
I have run out of people to talk to If this happens, I’m sorry, but you haven’t been networking the right way. Either the people you’ve met with should have wanted to provide you with additional names of people they know OR you should have asked for recommendations of people to speak with.
-
I am too shy This is a wonderful opportunity to develop your extroverted side. Is it uncomfortable? Yes, but this really isn’t an excuse. Learn from others and watch what expert networkers do. You can even ask them for help.
-
I don’t know what to talk about You simply need to ask questions about the other person. Focus on learning about them and what they do. Have a set of questions ready to ask of anyone you meet.
-
People keep turning me down Re-think what you ask for. There are very few people who will turn down a request for help. Is it your wording? Is it your delivery? Ask a friend to critique your invitation.
-
It hasn’t worked for me in the past Were you expecting immediate results- perhaps a job offer on the spot? The process of networking takes time. Trust builds over time. That is why it is so important to make networking a habit. And networking is about being a resource. What have you offered? Help? Information? Introducing someone?
-
I don’t have money for coffee and gas Thank goodness we learned to use Zoom and other video conferencing tools! But there's nothing quite like a good face-to-face meeting over coffee. Be smart in how and when you schedule your meetings. Perhaps you can schedule meetings back to back to decrease driving around town.
Did you see your excuse above? Is there another reason you aren't networking? Put it in the comments below and I know you'll get some help!

Timestamp: [02:51] About Candace and Effortless Manifesting [03:28] The “Law of Assumption” vs. The Law of Attraction” [05:18] How to utilize the Law of Assumption [08:44] Candace’s story and background with the Law of Assumption [13:17] Candace’s past traumas [15:45] Revising your past and reprogramming the mind [19:17] Some of Candace’s services [21:10] Using the Law of Assumption to live in the future [23:01] Ideal reality meditation [[24:37] Overcoming the fear of trusting your decisions [27:24] How to revisit a past event [28:57] What a session with Candace looks like [33:50] How assumptions and intentions can affect those around you [35:28] Recreating people from the feet to the mind [39:35] Giving space to people [41:32] The true freedom starts internally [43:44] Why the Law of Attraction is limiting [44:36] The “rapid fire round” [46:08] Candace’s vision for the future [47:18] Connect with Candace
Notable Quotes: ~When you understand you are consciously creating a reality, it puts so much power at your fingertips to create the life that you deserve.
~When we imagine over and over and we couple that with our feelings, then things will create for us.
~When you make a decision, you need to assume it’s always working out. Because there’s never really the best time. The best time is when you decide, “I’m doing this!”
~Our assumptions block people from showing up the way that you ultimately want them to show up. And your own assumptions block you from showing up how you want to show up.
~Remove your assumptions and recreate your ideal reality and the people in it, so that they have room to come back in your life the way that you want them to.
~There’s no one to change but self.
~I can’t say I’m a victim of my circumstance because I’m aware I can change the truth.

We did it! Rochester Business Connections is now celebrating its 1st anniversary. 🎉 Over 80 episodes later, we are excited to announce a new development...
We've officially renamed the podcast stream to "The Rochester Business Connections NETWORK!" ✔️
If you've been following Rochester Business Connections, you may have noticed I've been producing multiple different shows, including Rochester Business Connections, Learn Speak Teach, Five Minute Fridays, Ben's Bites, and (not yet released) "Local Hits." ✔️
These are all technically different shows... so instead of lumping them all together as Rochester Business Connections episodes, I've created an entire "network "to house all these shows, and more! ✔️
NEW SCHEDULE: ➡️ Every Sunday: "Local Hits" - Replays of some of the best podcasts from the region ➡️ Every Tuesday: "Rochester Business Connections" - Highlighting Rochester, NY's very best businesspeople ➡️ Every Other Thursday: "Learn Speak Teach" - Conversations with some nationally renowned mentors ➡️ Every Other Friday: "Five Minute Fridays" - Quick and easy business tips for busy people who want to learn as efficiently as possible ➡️ Random Episodes (No Schedule): "Ben's Bits" - Where I talk about whatever I want!
Rochester Business Connections is now an entire podcasting network! And we will be distributing over 3 episodes per week! So make sure you've subscribed! ✔️
And thank you to everyone who made this an incredible first year! Let's make this next year even better! ✔️

Ben's Bites #2
Today's Bite: My Unsuccessful Childhood Story About Feeling “Small.”
I grew up small. Like really small. Up through all of elementary school, I was tiny. However, I was proudly not the shortest kid in school. But I was 2nd, to a gal named Olivia Lee.
To make matters worse. I was never taught how to make myself "bigger." (Gestures, body language, vocal tonality, eye contact.) If anything, I didn't know how to even make eye contact, and I was virtually always slouched.
Talk with my hands? Take up space? Express myself? "Come on, man! I don't even take my hands out of my pockets. I'm so shy I'll almost pee my pants before asking permission to go the bathroom!:
I wasn't just "small," I actually made myself smaller.
I kid you not; it wasn't until I was 15 that someone called me out on my total rebellion against eye contact. A girl I liked said, "You're cute, but you can't even look me in the eyes."
And it wasn't until I was in my early 20s that I noticed everyone would erect their back much more than me; in lamens terms, I was slumped, my posture was shit. I would make myself smaller.
I could play the blame game. I'm not going to.
We could hypothesize what courses of action "would have" been best. I'm not going to.
The past is the past.
All I know. Recognizing you have a problem is the first step to a solution.
I've since completely catapulted myself into an obsession with social psychology, personal development, and I have done everything I can to be a better man. I am a better man.
Day by day, I grow.
Every day, I'm conscious of my past. Through action, I am hyper-focused on making forward progress towards a far better tomorrow.
These days I stand tall. I widen my shoulders. I straighten my back. I speak with more confidence and conviction than ever. And even though it's not easy, I've accomplished more than I ever imagined possible. I have rewired my brain.
I won't make an argument that I have arrived... I'm not the definition of "big." And I'm definitely not the man I will be.
But never again will I have to feel small!
Where in your life do you feel small? And what are you going to do about it?

Ben's Bites #1
Today's Bite: Do You Remember Tom From Myspace?
He was my first “friend” – likely, yours too!
Who do you think had the most friends on Myspace??? Not a trick question. It was Tom.
Why?
Because he co-founded the platform!!!!!
If you want a seat at the table… Bring the Table
If you want to speak on the mic… Buy the Mic
If you want to be an honoree at an event… Host the Event
If you want the best view of the stage… Be on the Stage…
If you want to speak to influencers… Become an Influencer
If you want to “Win Friends and Influence People,” Make Friends and Be Influential….
The easiest way to become President of a company, club, or anything for that matter, is to start it.
And, you don’t need anyone to validate your worth or readiness. You can validate yourself. If you believe you are worthy… Everyone else will agree.
YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU WANT. Don’t wait for someone else to give it to you.
