More About Tony

Tony has grown over 10,000 small businesses and a dozen Fortune 500 companies, including Ford, General Motors, AutoNation, and ADP. He has managed over $400 million in advertising spend and in 2009 earned the prestigious title of Google Partner of the Year.

As a child, Tony experienced firsthand the devastating crisis of business failure when his parents’ small business failed and they lost everything, including their home. Its impact on his life was powerful. Having lost everything, he determined he would one day figure out how to help business owners like his parents by learning how to run a profitable business.

This mission shaped his entire 20-year career. As an entrepreneur, business owner, and enterprise marketer, Tony worked with, literally, the best businesses in every industry, including Google, Microsoft, ADP, Ford, BMW, Sunrise Senior Living, and Foster Grant to name a few. And he has helped grow over 10,000 small businesses and a dozen Fortune 500 companies.

After working with the best businesses across hundreds of industries, he learned how they grow consistently and predictably, using adversity to pivot towards opportunity in order to survive and thrive in all manner of economic conditions.

Later, Tony returned to his entrepreneur roots to bring the strategy, tactics and resources normally reserved for large enterprises to small businesses. Today, he is focused on bringing that same vision to podcast hosts and guests – to make Podcasting profitable.

He believes that by growing small businesses, together we can impact not just our local communities but also our world.

You’ll get an inside look into how Aaron runs his events and what he looks for when it comes to keeping his audience engaged and inspired.

As kids we are told to dream big and reach for the stars, but as we grow up those can feel like two of the hardest things to do....

The ones who can keep or regain that childlike wonder and belief that anything can happen if you set their mind to it, are a special type of human. They are the ones who change the world changers by changing the people who change the world, the leaders of leaders, the influencers for influencers.

In the industry, these people are recognized by a much humbler name...coaches.

Over the past few years the coaching and self development world has been booming, but have you ever stopped and wondered, Who coaches the coaches? Who encourages the encouragers?

To answer that question we have to introduce you to our guest today, Mitch Matthews! Mitch is an elite level speaker, entrepreneur, author and success coach. You may recognize his voice as the host of the top rated podcast called “DREAM THINK DO.”

He feels like he was put on the planet to help people to dream bigger, think better and do more of what THEY were put on the planet to do! He’s also the creator of the BIG Dream Gathering. These powerful events inspire participants to get clear on their own dreams as well as collaborate with others in the room to make their dreams happen.

Listen in as Mitch and Blair dive deep into Mitch's success journey. You will hear how Mitch made the pivot to online before the pandemic, tips on how to serve the audience in front of you at the highest level, how to leverage apps and technology for your virtual event and business, and how Mitch is showing up powerfully for coaches around the world and his new mission to ‘Encouraging The Encourager’

More About Michael:

Michael was born to a hyper-abusive drug addict mother who cut his finger off at 4 years old, a step-father you pray you never have, and a racist grandmother that pushed him into an identity crisis. By the time he was 9, his family was in poverty and often homeless all while being a member of the Mormon Church.

Brenda is the founder and owner of Inspiring Company Culture, a business dedicated to helping leaders create workplace environments where every employee feels valued, heard and appreciated.

Speak to Grow Your Business Challenge: Pitch 5 Virtual Stages in 5 Days speaktogrowchallenge.com

We believe your message matters, but the only person who can spread that message is you. Have you been spreading that message?

This week on Inside The Greenroom we are excited to have Dolores Hirschmann with us again, as we talk about the importance of getting on as many digital platforms as possible. The future of events inevitably changed from live experiences to virtual ones, and now as things start to open up they’ve moved into these hybrid, half-live, half-virtual experiences that can influence way more people than we thought before.

Think about the last year and how you may have pivoted as a speaker, an entrepreneur, and an event planner. Did you embrace the new wave of virtual events or hunker down and wait until things opened again? If you answered the latter, it may be time to jump into the pool of getting on digital platforms, virtual isn’t going anywhere and instead of shying away you can seize the opportunity to not only gain more ROI but create meaningful connections with your audience and strengthen your influence and impact.

More About Kemy:

Raised in Miami, FL as a first-generation Haitian American, Kemy lived in a single-parent household with nine siblings where poverty, violence, and racial inequity traumatized him at an

early age. Growing up, he was socialized as a sexist, racist, homophobe, bigot, bully, and criminal. As an adult he’s made the extraordinary effort to re-socialize himself into a human

being — a healthy, educated black man who respects women, Celebrates Diversity, and supports the equal rights of all people. His journey represents the healing that’s possible when we use

negative emotions for positive change and learn the skills we need to treat others equitably. Kemy is creating a world where we rise above segregation, hatred, and violence to heal our past traumas and ensure the safety of all human beings. In service to that vision, he works with hundreds of leaders in business and education — in addition to many Nobel Peace PrizeWinners — to inspire global social justice initiatives.

More About Leslie:

For 35 years, Leslie August held progressively senior management roles in international insurance agencies. In that time she saw the stark comparison between toxic vs. healthy workplaces and how toxic workplaces resulted in employee disengagement, distraction, illness, and impaired productivity. Ultimately she personally experienced bullying and workplace toxicity and gained a first-hand understanding of the challenges and strategies for dealing with toxic work dynamics and their increased risks.

There is a currency even more valuable than the money that holds our industry together, that not many people truly understand.

It’s what makes the most noteworthy events, it’s what makes attendees say “Wow! That was the best speaker I have ever heard.” It’s what keeps your ads working and virtual events engaging.

What is that currency? It’s creativity.

Creativity is the most essential skill to hone, own and implement in your business. When reading that sentence you may have the knee-jerk reaction to say “But I am not creative?” Let us assure you that if you are an entrepreneur, speaker, business owner, or meeting planner, you are the most creative of us all.

Creativity goes so much further than how well you can paint, draw, sculpt or take a picture. Creativity is more than just the arts. Creativity goes to the core of who you are.

Today we welcome speaker, computer scientist, entrepreneur, and influencer Shelly Bell Inside The Greenroom!

More About Jim:

I’ve spent the last 25 years helping people like you improve their memory, learn to speed-read, increase their decision-making skills, and unleash their superbrains.

Throughout my career, I’ve shared these same techniques with students at universities like NYU, Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, and Singularity. I’ve also worked closely with companies like Nike and GE and Zappos to help their executives and employees get the most out of work and life. Even companies like SpaceX and Virgin, owned by billionaire geniuses like Richard Branson and Elon Musk, have trained with me.

In a world of spaceships and supercomputers, our education system still uses methods that are as old, and as ineffective, as the horse and buggy. I believe that the techniques I’ve developed over the years on how to learn – not just what to learn – should’ve been taught to us as schoolchildren. Luckily, it’s never too late to learn these skills!

No matter your age, background, or level of education, you can learn new ways to use your brain.

If you’ve been searching for better ways of coping and growing, I’m here to help you fall in love with learning again. Please, reach out and tell my team and I how we can serve you on your learning journey. And I can’t wait to be your brain coach.

They have this crazy studio rented out with tons of screens that will be broadcasting hundreds of attendees at once making the “virtual event” literally feel like we’re all together in our homes.

It sounds like a blast.

This week on Inside the Greenroom, we have the top three finalists from our recent Speak Off. As you know, the Speak Off looked different this year as we shifted from our annual Reach Live event, into A360i.

The stage was set, the signature talks were written, rehearsed, and ready to go, and the speakers were managing the butterflies in their stomachs in the weeks leading up to what we call “The American Idol of Speaking.”

Then, in what felt like a split second, everything changed. The Speak Off contestants went from preparing to wow a live crowd to speaking into a webcam.

These top three contests represent the best in the business. Speakers who can flip on a dime, go with the flow, and approach the stage and the screen with the same energy and passion is something we all can learn from in a digital age.

Join Blair Bryant Nichols Inside The Greenroom as he interviews Ganelle Elliott from Essentially Woman, The Founder at Extreme Martial Arts, Garrett Poole, and Grand-prize Speak Off winner and music therapist, Tim Ringgold.

Learn their secret on how they have pivoted in this time of crisis, how Pete and Pat have impacted their lives, and what you can do to be a more powerful speaker in 2020 and more.

Here’s what we cover:

Our guests journey to becoming speakers
The Power of community
Using your backstory to fuel your success
What attracted each speaker to the Speak Off
The shifts they made to be successful during COVID
How sharing your personality can bring people into your community

More About Garret:

Over the last 20 years, I have devoted my life to self-defense and training with professionals, even winning a world championship, but none of that touches my heart more than the 9,654 students I have taught in-person to date how to defend themselves. I founded “Lady In Defense” a roadmap for abused women that focuses on the whole person. Mind, Body, Heart & Spirit. Where we focus on escaping the chains of our past, healing our wounds, rediscovering who we are and finding our courage and bravery again

More about Ganelle:

Ganelle Elliott is an IT professional, speaker, and women's empowerment coach. With a 19 year career in IT, Ganelle understands the unique challenges that professional women face when attempting to balance career aspirations with creating a fulfilling home life.

Building a successful career in a male-dominated industry held its own unique challenges. The years were full of chronic stress, fleeting confidence, and crippling fears of rejection... all exacerbated by the relentless need for perfection. After being hospitalized from spontaneous lung collapse, Ganelle needed a change. She sought out other women who could help her navigate the jungle of burnout, but that pool of mentors was completely bare. In 2014, she decided to educate herself on burnout and study personal development. After 4 years of trial and error, Ganelle finally discovered how an ambitious woman could break the vicious cycle of burnout and overwhelm.

Today, Ganelle lives burnout free with her husband and step-daughter. She has stepped into her courage and determination, faced her inner critic, and gave herself permission to live a fulfilled life. Now Ganelle is on a mission to help other professional women break free from burnout, step into their power, to live their most epic lives.

“Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity - not a threat” - Steve Jobs

As one of the top names in innovation, Steve Jobs pushed the boundaries of “how it’s always been done” and created a new wave of technology that changed how the world worked.

One of the most fascinating things about the Apple founder is that his most revolutionary ideas were actually a new take, on something old.

He made the clunky computer accessible to the average home-owner, and he made a phone with no buttons.

Sometimes, the small tweaks are what lead to the biggest breakthroughs.

The virtual craze in 2020 due to the coronavirus is nothing new. You are probably an old pro, but just don’t realize it. If you have streamed a live video on social media, built a sales funnel, created a website, or hosted a webinar, you have created a virtual event.

We believe that now is the time to experiment, have fun, and innovate with your virtual events. Our guest today, on Inside The Greenroom shares the same sentiment.

Join Blair Nichols and founder of Endless Events, Will Curran as they talk about how you can take your virtual events to a new level.

Meeting planners, learn how you can create a better, more engaging experience for attendees with creative networking, breakout rooms, and how to create a better ROI for virtual sponsors.

Speakers, you will learn what Will and his team look for when booking virtual stages, and how preparing your tech and space ahead of time can help you show up more powerfully.

These are just a couple of things we cover in today’s episode of Inside the Greenroom!

Here’s More Of What We Cover:

How Will grew to be one of the biggest event production companies
The strategy behind a virtual exhibit hall
How digital marketing is connected to virtual events
Upgrade your sponsor’s investment
How to provide a better experience for everyone

Netflix in the TV industry, Uber in the Taxi industry, Airbnb in the hotel industry, Tesla in the car industry, and countless others. These are just some of the incredible brands or companies that came into an industry and disrupted the norm with brilliance and innovation.

The emphasis in 2020 on digital events isn’t a company or service but has disrupted the industry just the same.

That’s not always a bad thing you can embrace disruption and push yourself to new heights, or you can be the person dreaming about the “good old days” or waiting for everything to be “normal again”. The choice is up to you.

In this conversation, you will hear Greg explain how the pandemic has pushed the industry to new levels of greatness and why he thinks this is one of the best things that could have happened.

This episode will leave you inspired to reimagine the way you approach events as a speaker, entrepreneur, or meeting planner.

“This is a disruption, not an interruption in the event industry” - Greg Beach

How past experience helped create an amazing virtual event
Overcoming the stigma that “virtual” events are any less impactful
How virtual can solve common problems in live events

“Pivot, essential, shift, social distancing, testing, herd immunity.” These are all buzz words we are sick of hearing, but the fact is we have to learn how to live in the digital word.

If you have been to a Reach Live event, most likely one of your favorite parts of the event was the Speak Off. We like to say it’s like the “American Idol” of speaking. The energy is high, the crowd is buzzing and ten speakers fight their butterflies as they go head-to-head with only five minutes to speak to prove they are the best.

Earlier this year, when we decided to have a digital-only event, Advance 360i, we had to reimagine the way we did the Speak Off. How could we bring that same energy to a digital stage?

Thanks to the AYR dream team, SAGE Events, and countless other people, we did it.

In today’s episode, Blair interviews Liza Millan, Susie Beaty, Kera Wasserbach, Lea Woodford, Dolores Hirschmann, and LaVonna Roth, who were just some of the incredible judges that determined this year's winner.

Before they judged the Speak Off, they joined us in our private Facebook Group to give us the best practices and tips you need to know to learn how to bridge the gap between a pre-covid and post-covid world, what works, what doesn’t work, and how to show up powerfully on every digital stage as a speaker in 2020.

Meeting planners, learn the industry-changing tools that the best in the business are using to create a more engaging and impactful event and so much more.

Here’s what we cover:

How to present better on zoom
How virtual events help with affordability and attendance
What tools to use and help with interaction and engagement
Smoothly breakthrough introversion virtually
How group conversations can lead to more connections for your participants
No nation is off limits with virtual
Go deeper, utilize the tools by recording the conversations, and even share digital tools together.
The opportunity for Strategic Partnerships
Connections & bonds you can build digitally
Identifying rules of engagement in the new territory
Speakers, body Language is still key: Eye contact, standing up vs sitting down, high-energy, not reading from a script.
Experience over accountability
And much more!

Welcome to Inside the Greenroom,

This week I wanted to cover something a little different than usual and start off by saying we are going on hiatus from what was supposed to be the third part of our series. I will intertwine some of it in our episode today but I wanted to be honest and say that because of the state of the union that was called, thousands and thousands of events that were going to take place across the world had to be canceled and we lost millions of dollars as a result. So, that part is the reason you have not heard from us, but also I wanted to share with you today the vision of us wanting to redefine how events were done virtually. While you can never replace people being in the room, we must find a way to make lemonade out of lemons so this episode is completely dedicated to the fact that I believe we have pulled off a powerful and meaningful, a redefined, virtual event. I am going to cover just how we managed to pull this event off, and not only how we doubled our lost revenue but tripled the number of people who would have attended our live event.

You do not want to miss this episode, because it has some need to know information on how you can get an unforgettable experience out of a virtual event whether you are an attendee, sponsor, or speaker. I want to challenge you to innovate and recreate what virtual events look like right now, we have done it, and we want to show you how you can too.

So, 40 days ago we were hit with the fact and the reality that we'd be canceling our April 30th through May 2nd event in Orlando, Florida. We had over 1100 close to 1200 people registered. We had never been over the thousand-person Mark. We had worked nine to 10 months to get to that point. Now, we recognized as a team that the virtual economy was here and made the decision that we were going to redefine how to do events virtually. Now nothing can ever replace seeing people in person, but we had an important opportunity and responsibility to take this time and make the next category in events.

As you’ve heard we called the state of the union, and we actually did a training and during that training we told all of the attendees who showed up like that we were going to create this experience, and we coined the name Advanced 360 Interactive, and we called it 360 because we wanted to engage 360 degrees of all of their senses. We wanted this to be the most interactive, engaging, easy, powerful, and experiential event we could possibly make. I said this 40 days ago, and I wasn’t even sure if we could pull it off!

We set the ball in motion that day announcing it, then worked on getting tickets transferred from the event they were going to attend to this new virtual event. We were lucky enough to get about 700-800 people to transfer their tickets, but we wanted to take it even further, so we ran a challenge and I want to expand on that challenge in a later episode but when it was all said and done we had 3,100 tickets claimed or paid for. We almost tripled our attendance size from our live event! Now we knew it was imperative for this 360-degree experience to start before the actual event so I painted a picture and my team in conjunction with Sage Events, who I am so thankful for, we’re able to pull together a sort of pregame to the event which started with every attendee getting something physical in the mail.

First:

Every single attendee received not the only curriculum and a workbook, but my team also took it even a step farther and had little emojis on a stick, “do not disturb” door hangers, and even recipes that were quick and easy for the attendees to be able to put their best foot forward. Because of this, you start seeing all these social media posts about how they received their package for the 360 events, it created a ripple of engagement.

Second:

We wanted to create pre-work, and usually, pre-work is a lot of technical speaking so we made sure to give only three short videos that got their mind, and spirit ready for the upcoming event. I wanted there to be an easy way for them to show up powerfully and have the best experience they could possibly have. A lot of that was overcoming the attitude to just being in another zoom room and painting a picture of what the experience was about, how they needed to be checked in, get dressed, and keep their camera turned on. By doing this we created a powerful pregame experience that had people looking forward to the virtual event instead of dreading it.

Third:

I want to just say how thankful I am for Sage’s involvement because we had a virtual check-in. Just like a live event, we had people click a button, get notified by email that they must check in during these hours on this day and people actually did the check-in. They, of course, signed off on their waiver just like at a real event then after they were taken to a room with a live person to take them through a tech check, which helped them know how to use their dashboard which held any curriculum, the game of education, and any handouts that needed to go out. They had zoom links for everything they need whether it was VIP or general admission. So because of this check-in, they were able to find everything they might need right there in their dashboard. Of course, there was some overwhelming numbers and there were small groups but it usually one to one person.

So, they got a whole experience jus through the pregame of the event, it brought exciting expectations and allowed for the attendees to show up in a powerful way.

Onsite:

Then, of course, you have the Onsite, which is one of if not the most important part to be able to pull off. The thing that made it so easy was the dashboard, the option for them to find everything they might need right there in front of them. Then we were able to set up 16 different “rooms” that held about 200 people each, and with some sort of connector, we had the same audio and video pumping simultaneously through all 16 rooms.

Here’s the beautiful thing, I was on a physical stage, with four cameras pointing towards me. I had these big monitors that displayed about 500 people at a time, and it just scrolled through everyone as I spoke. So, now I was literally able to interact with these people on the screen, I could see cheering, clapping, excitement, yelling but here’s my favorite part. I was able to call out a thousand names throughout the course of three days, I probably called more than that because I wanted them to feel as if they were in the room. I have never, and there is no way I would be able to do that in a live event.

Sessions:

I’m sure you’re asking, how else can you make it interactive and I’ll tell you the actual format of every session, the sessions remained the same as they would in a live event, two morning and evening sessions on the first and second day, two morning and one afternoon session for the third and the format stayed the same for almost all those sessions.

35 minutes of speaking and inspiration
After that, they would move immediately to a breakout room of 5 people
10-20 minutes they would work on the worksheet on the teaching they just received
10-20 minutes of conversation about the activity and workshop.
10 final minutes back in the big room to share “aha” moments

This can be done for business stuff, but this can also be a meditative activity so if you don’t feel like what you have would fit. It will, we even had a letter-writing session, that allowed our attendees to meditate on what their business would like in a year. We brought them back in for a final 10 minutes where we hear five big “ahas” from maybe 10 of those rooms. It lasted about 90 minutes in all, so we kept engagement by keeping our sessions shorter and making them more interactive.

Now, let me tell you something of those three days 90% to 95% of people stayed the entire day, I don’t even get that at my live events, and even better than that we got some amazing testimonials where a common theme was how this was the most powerful virtual event they had ever experienced. For many, it was the most powerful event they had ever experience…period!

I’m telling this because I want you to know your event matters, they can change lives, businesses your event can change everything for someone. I urge you, if you are an attendee that missed out on an event this year go find a virtual one, we have set a standard for virtual events now and there will be many to come that you can gain so much from.

If you are a sponsor, there are opportunities for you, we had rooms full of coaches and sponsors, so innovate and figure out how you can help bring together a powerful event.

Speakers, you don’t have to try and jump in on another event you can create your own event! Host an event that will changes lives, and businesses, you have the perfect platform to do so right. Now.

My team is rolling out services to help corporations, events, and industries understand how to do this because we have documented this whole process. We knew that we were going to pull off events, organizations, and associations.

It’s time to step up

It’s time for us to create

It’s time for us to innovate

You don’t need to grind because we have for you, but are you ready to pivot? I leave you with these questions, to challenge yourself to create and innovate your industry.

What are you going to do if you are an attendee that didn’t get to go to an event?
What are you going to do if you are a Sponsors to innovate?
What are you going to do if you are a speaker to not only be on the stage but create your own?

`· What are you going to do to pivot?

We are here to lead the charge and lead the way, so I want to encourage you if you want to have any conversations about what we can do to help just email katie@advanceyourreach.com. Whether you’re trying to fulfill a mastermind, a bigger event, smaller event, or anything in between getting the 360 interactive experience is critical and it works in 40-50 days.

Welcome to part one of a very special new series of Inside the Greenroom!

In lieu of what's happening in the world today, this might be the most powerful thing that we’ve ever done on the podcast…

Most of us have never experienced something like this in our lifetimes, and my heart goes out to those in the event industry - which is taking one of the biggest hits at the moment. Events all over the world have been either postponed or cancelled, including several I was either running or going to speak at. We also went through this very difficult time back in 2008. At the time, our company had a lot of momentum, events were booming, and it came to a screeching halt. I saw many speakers with powerful messages exit the industry, and I don’t want that to happen again. I’m very happy to say we got through it back in the 2008 recession, and had a breakthrough year because of how we were able to adapt!

In this multi-part series, we’re going to discuss how to pivot and thrive in our business during hard times - because we understand the impact it’s having in the speaking and event industry, and we’re sharing the same struggles you are. I’ll be talking about things we did to overcome the financial crisis during the recession 12 years ago, and also what we’ll be doing NOW at Advance Your Reach to navigate, and boom as a company.

We’ll be speaking on behalf of the major stakeholders in the events industry. In part one, we’re going to cover 8 strategies that are going to help you navigate, win, and boom in this industry as a business owner speaking on stages.

Enjoy!

P.S. - Make sure to visit advanceyourreach.com and get your hands on multiple FREE gifts and resources we have for you to navigate through this crisis. Plus, stay tuned for part 2, coming next week.

Here’s what we cover:

A major opportunity happening in the offline events world right now, and how to capitalize on it
What you should be expanding in the midst of the COV-19 crisis (this will help you to not be so reliant on one source of income, and it will help you truly change people’s lives)
The business model of speaking, and the different types of stages you can add into your speaking portfolio
The different types of digital stages you can double down on (in 2019 we were on over 100 digital stages, and the amount of collective revenue was greater than 99%+ of what professional speakers earn every year in speaking fees)
The #1 offline stage you should research and win once the virus dies down (these will be full of attendees once things settle down!)
How to create a “win-win” situation for events by helping them offset their expenses, while being able to generate revenue for yourself
An overlooked but very powerful stage you can finally begin to build out and promote while you have the time to do so
How to serve your meeting planners during a time of uncertainty and worry (meeting planners who control offline stages are greatly impacted by the virus, doing this will go a long way!)
And much more!

Welcome, John Lee Dumas, the Founder & Host of the Entrepreneur on Fire Podcast, Inside the Greenroom!

In this episode, we discuss everything related to one of the most powerful online stages out there - podcasts - and there’s no better person to talk about this than John Lee Dumas. JLD was considered a “first mover” in this industry because he did something NO ONE else was doing at the time, and something both of his mentors advised AGAINST doing, which is starting a DAILY podcast. Today, JLD is heading into his 8th year in a row of NETTING multiple 7-figures per year from his podcast alone.

We discuss the opportunities to get started in the podcasting world today, how to build your audience, how to monetize your audience, how to win other podcasts as a guest speaker, and much more!

John Lee Dumas is an American podcaster, internet personality, and entrepreneur.

Welcome back to the second part of our very special 2-part series!

Last week, I presented my biggest takeaways from all of the interviews I held on the Inside the Greenroom podcast in 2019, and many LOVED it, and went back to listen to previous episodes as a result.

Today, I cover what’s working with stages in 2020 - both with running events, and speaking on stage.

I share the five core things that make the best events in the world stand out, as well as thefive core ways the best speakers stand out amongst the competition.

This is what is working NOW! I know the final part of our mini-series will be a gamechanger for you and set you up for a lot of success in 2020!

Here are some of the major takeaways from today’s episode:

A #1 factor that determines the longevity of an annual event (this is what separates those that will be around tomorrow vs. those that don’t last!)
What you must take inventory of and care deeply about far in advance of the event start date to provide the best experience possible
A phrase you should avoid when filling your event (this sets the wrong intention for your attendees, and it’s a BIG reason why meeting planners see their numbers dropping)
The power of a ticket map, and using it to your advantage to fill seats
The key to getting your audience to come back over and over again, and to rave about your event to their friends
The TOP ways to STOP leaving revenue on the table (one of our clients boosted his revenue from $200k to $2 million based on this!)
The power of gifting, and how it can set you apart as a speaker
How to deliver the goods on stage using a multisensory approach
A big LIE speakers are told (or they believe to be true) when it comes to winning stages
The “marketing graveyard” that’s continually expanding, and why you should use the one marketing medium that will never die
And much, much more!

P.S. - REACH Live 2020 is right around the corner, and it will be our BEST live event yet! Click here to get your tickets, and secure your seat.

We’re BACK with our first episode in the new year, and we’re here to bring you part 1 of a very special 2-part series!

Today’s episode will focus on our biggest takeaways from all the interviews I held on the Inside the Greenroom podcast in 2019.

Think of this as a cliff notes version of a couple dozen “ah-ha’s” we had over the past year. If you’re up to date and listened to every episode thus far, it will serve as a reminder of the big ideas we covered. If you’re brand new to the podcast, we highly encourage you to identify just 2-3 “big ideas” that stood out to you and go back to listen to the full episode. You’d be surprised with how much of a difference it can make in your business if you implement just ONE big idea you hear from one of our interviews.

Part 2 will be released next week, and I’m going to cover what’s working TODAY with events, and landing stages.

I really believe the next couple of episodes in our “mini-series” will be impactful and set you up for a lot of success in 2020!

Here are some of the major takeaways from our guests in 2019:

How a lot of online companies are using offline, physical stages to grow their businesses
The importance of building a speaking team once a brand reaches a certain level
Why you should include the element of FUN into your events
How 1 association can yield you 1,000+ speaking opportunities
The nuance differences in winning international stages
The benefits of BATCHING stages
The power of dream stages
How to overcome stage fright
How to avoid being the road warrior
Creating multiple streams of revenues in your event
Using an in-house team to fill a large event
How to sell high-ticket events
How a book can make a difference to win a stage
The power of using strategic gifting to win stages, and strengthen relationships
How to fill and grow the attendance of your events with a smaller list
Why a dialed-in Signature Talk will always outperform the written sales letter
How strategy makes or breaks your events
The secrets of making introverts feel welcome
How to add a zero to your paycheck
And much, much more!

Welcome, Jon Berghoff from Flourishing Leadership Institute, Inside the Greenroom!

Live events are getting more expensive to run, tickets are harder to sell, and information is becoming commoditized! In this episode, Jon shows you how to run a new type of event that gets your audience engaged throughout the entire process, and has them leave wanting to come back for more. We discuss transforming the type of event from passive to active learning, crowdsourcing wisdom from event attendees, orchestrating the event to help people connect easier, and much more!

Jon previously served as the head of sales for the direct sales team at Vitamix Corporation, where revenue grew by 400% in less than 4 years, as their team grew from 175 to over 600 members.

His work in Appreciative Leadership, Emotionally Intelligent Negotiations, and Influence has brought him to Australia, Japan, the UK, and South America. Jon is in high demand, known for his authenticity and highly engaging style of creating powerful learning experiences for participants.

The 4 questions you can attendees to bring out the best possible success strategies and insights
What speakers MUST HAVE in addition to being great on stage
The fastest way to add a zero to your speaking fees

We’re doing something special for this episode of Inside the Greenroom – I will NOT be interviewing a guest. You’ll be getting something that was previously NOT available to the general public or the podcast, and it has to do with the power of stages.

At the very end of 2015 when I was launching Advance Your Reach, I went through a lot of ups and downs trying to get this company off the ground. I was known as the “Stage Whisperer” and had spent 13 years helping other people build their businesses with stages…

But the ironic thing is, I was trying everything BUT stages.

Why?

First, I was scared to speak. I had been the wizard behind the curtain helping others, and even though I knew the power, I still resisted being the guy on the stage because of fear.

Second, like so many entrepreneurs, I got distracted by all the bright, shiny, and trendy marketing mediums out there. Looking back, they were great tactics - but it was just not the right time to implement them.

Once we FINALLY implemented stages into our business, everything changed for us.

At the time of this writing, we’re right around Thanksgiving.

I am GRATEFUL for stages.

Over the past 20 years, stages have transformed my business and life, and I know it can do the same for you.

For that reason, this episode is dedicated to the power of stages.

Here’s what we cover:

Why stages are recession proof (you’ll believe this when I tell you how long they’ve been around compared to other marketing mediums)
Examples of famous leaders, entrepreneurs, coaches, and service providers who have used stages to grow their businesses
How stages can shrink the sales cycle to 60 minutes or less
How Karen Worstell quit her job and crossed the 6-figure mark with stages
Why a successful entrepreneur friend of mine would rather be on stage with 25 people than have 1 million views on a Facebook video
The typical conversion rate you see when making an offer on stages versus online
Why your niche or industry is NOT different, and why you can make stages work no matter what business you fall into
Dispelling the “famous myth” for those who feel you must be well-known to land your dream stages
The definition of a dream stage, and how it can change your business forever (as it did mine)
And much more!

Welcome, Michelle Norris from Paleo f(x)™, Inside the Greenroom!

Paleo f(x)™ is the world’s largest Paleo event in the world, which has been running for 8 years, with an attendance of over 8,000 at the latest event!

In this episode, we discuss key learning lessons from an “in the trenches” entrepreneur with nearly a decade of experience running her own events. We cover the 3 main revenue generating activities she found to work best with events, her pricing strategy, how to save money on logistical costs, and the best way to impact the maximum number of people.

and is now CEO of Paleo f(x) ™, the largest Paleo event in the world. She’s a

passionate speaker, motivator and guiding light to those seeking deliverance

from a broken healthcare system and disabled economic system. Having left

the corporate grind far behind, she is now a serial entrepreneur in the health

and wellness space, and a tireless firebrand for advancing the Paleo movement;

a cultural reawakening of self-empowerment for the 21st century.

We Also Cover:

One of the most important things you should be thinking about to convey to your team, and get them pumped up and motivated for your event
