The Angles of Lattitude Podcast: Learn from the Successes of the Creatively Self Employed

It's said that college can either teach you what to think or how to think. And in my case, I'd like to believe that it taught me how to think. But looking back, especially this past year, I've realized when it comes to creative thinking, my Purdue career might have failed me. Not because I didn't get anything out of it. I did. However, when I got out of grad school, I found myself trying to build staircases out of information.That's just not how the world works. Especially when you're trying to start or restart a business.In fact, when you're learning something new, using a circular or global way of learning to connect the dots might make more sense to utilize than a linear model.In this session with Emmy award winning documentarian Lois Stark, Veronica and I chat with her about what what she's learned about shapes and patterns in nature, and how those relate to our ability to think now and in the future.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU’LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: * What fostered Lois' interest in becoming a documentarian? 8:38* Are there specific ideas people can remember as their world continually shifts around them? 11:57* How can we get a little higher to see beyond the divisions of mankind? 24:11* How can adults reshape their mindset so we can access the future before it unfolds and possibly influencing it based on what we know from the past? 29:11* What advice would she give to business owners in riot zones who want to stay in business, but also need to be cautious about how they engage with their community? 41:32* What is Lois working on now and what does she expect for its impact in the future? 47:17* Who are three of Lois' influencers or teachers who have helped her get to where she's at today? 52:47* What are three books she gifts or tells others about? 56:51* In the last five years, which belief, behavior, or habit has most improved her life? 59:42* What happens regularly today which would horrify a person from 100 years ago? 1:01:35* How can someone be a difference maker in their community? 1:03:28 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: * Lois Online: Website, Facebook, Twitter* Cohost: Veronica Kirin* Powered By: Fizzle - Use a Roadmap to create your business with different thought processes in mind!* Synthesized DNA to store data* Joseph Campbell - Power of Myth; Hero with a Thousand Faces* Carl Jung - Man and his Symbols Right click here and save-as to download this episode to your computer.

There's a lot to be said when it comes to having a personal breakthrough. In fact, having one might just change the rest of your life. However, when it comes to having a breakthrough through an identity shift, what does that actually mean? Shouldn't a breakthrough come before having a change of identity?Interestingly, according to today's guest, Rob Scott, you can find a way to change your perspective on who you are and how the world influences you. Not only that, but when you do, the world can become a much more friendly and/or productive place.In this session, Andy and I chat with Rob about how he could have had all the reasons to be a failure at life, but instead used identity shifting techniques to become the person he is today.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU’LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: * How did Rob discover his fundamental shift? 9:35* What kind of identity shifting techniques did he have to use to get to where he's at today? 15:14* What mindset issues does Rob typically see while working with his clients? 22:17* There's three steps to changing one's limiting beliefs: awareness, a new choice, and a subconscious pattern. What do those mean, exactly? 23:51* How does someone install a new lens in how they see the world? 26:34* What would it be like working with Rob when he'd be helping with identity shifting? 38:04* What is Rob looking forward to in his work? 50:09* Is there a power coaching question Rob likes to ask his coaching clients? 52:02* What are three books Rob gifts or gifts to others? 53:05* Why is self sabotage such a problem amongst most human beings? 54:10* What's one thing every high school student must know? 55:44* Is there a secret to achieving personal freedom? 56:52 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: * Rob Online: Website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube* Cohost: Andy Dix* Powered By: Uncover Personal Mission* David Bohm - J.

When you're starting anything in the business world, it's a really good idea to know who your target audience (or avatar) is. Some businesses might have many options, while most actually have a handful or less.Generally speaking, when you're starting a podcast, it's no different. Sure, there's a few podcasts out there that practically anyone can listen to, but for the most part, shows need to be tailored to the audience. This is especially true if the host isn't well known.When this session's guest, Joe Sanok, started his podcast, not many people knew who he was outside of his therapy work. However, with a podcast name of Practice of the Practice, it only makes sense that people who were looking to build their private practice would find his show.In this session, Veronica and I chat with Joe about the importance of knowing your audience and successfully building a brand around their needs.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU’LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: * What lead Joe to realize he had to retire from his therapy practice to build his current business of Practice of the Practice? 9:49* How did he realize it was time to sell the therapy practice that he had been building for years? 13:44* What inspired Joe to start his podcast in the first place? 15:34* Is there anything in particular he's learned by running a practice that he can apply to what he's doing today? 17:16* What ideas does he think keep people back from creating something which has a high level of scale and influence? 18:56* When someone believes they have limits in their lives and business, what questions should they be asking themselves if they want to move forward? 20:47* How can someone make a podcast about an industry that might seem too limited in scope? 23:56* Are there key elements a new podcaster should consider if they're starting a show in a particular niche? 26:25* Has Joe had to go through any particular pivots this year? 40:28* If he could add one song, one book, and one film to the national curriculum, what would they be? 42:35* What's a message that's out there which is a disservice to youth? 43:42* What's something that costs less than $100 which has changed his life? 44:06* Is there something he'd like to do in his lifetime that no one knows about? 45:23* What's the secret to achieving personal freedom? 45:54 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Joe Online: Website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, YouTubeCohost: Veronica KirinPowered By: Fizzle (Community for the Newpreneur!)Kelly HigdonJoe's Course: Podcast Launch SchoolFireball - Pit BullMichael Pollins - How to Change Your MindThe Untold History of t...

When it comes to the stock market, the most knowledge people typically have is letting someone else manage their portfolio. Robert Kiyosaki strongly urges people not to do this because, generally speaking, those that do manage other people's money do so in whatever way they can earn the most commission. So, where does someone look if they're interested in finding out more about day trading for beginners?For me, this has been an answer I've not been able to find a solution to for the entirety of this show. We've had plenty of guests who have built their businesses in the B quadrant, and we've had several reality stars who have built a great portfolio in the I quadrant. However, we've never had an expert on whose focus is helping those who want to build wealth through paper assets. Until now.More often than not, people generally build an S quadrant business, scale it through the B quadrant, and then take their profits and buy assets in the I quadrant.However, there's no rule that says you can't start slowly in the I quadrant and then build a business helping others do the same in the B quadrant. In this session Andy and I learn how our guest Jason Brown ended up doing just that with The Brown Report and Power Trades University.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU’LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: * How did Jason get started in the stock market? 13:14* How does someone know if they're investing in a good investment in financial education? 20:59* Why should someone even think about passive income in general? 27:06* What are some keywords someone who wants to make money on the stock market should be paying attention to? 29:51* What kind of personal traits should someone have if they're considering getting involved with the stock market? 32:37* Is there something specific about Jason's process that works for him and others? 38:05* How can someone convert their business' profits into another revenue stream successfully? 41:33* What is Jason looking forward to in his business and the market? 45:48* Which podcasts are his top 3 most influential? 47:37* Is there something he's gotten better at saying no to? 48:43* What's something he's learned about recently and excited to implement? 50:49* What is one concept every high school student must know? 52:32* Is there a secret to living a life of abundance? 54:28 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Jason Online: Website, Power Trade University, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, YouTubeCohost: Andy DixPowered By: KennectedScience of Getting RichIncrease Your Financial IQThink and Grow RichSPI Podcast

On the show, we've asked several of ours guests a particular question when we know they've had the answer. And that question is simply this "How did you get on TV?"Interestingly, there's been a few different answers. But the one thing which was common between all of them was that they had a compelling story. The other part was that they networked into the spot.Now, I get what that means. It means that you either found someone you knew who knew the person you were trying to connect with. Or, you randomly connected with someone who could get you on. One's a little more intentional, however, both have the same result.However, what if you don't know where to start in doing that? Sure, there's courses that can teach you how to network with the right people. But wouldn't it be easier if you could just reach out to someone who could help?If you believe you're looking for that kind of person, then today's guest is someone you should connect with.Sabrina Santucci has the network and the skillset to help you on local TV and potentially help you go national. As she says, there's different strategies for each.Listen in as Veronica and I learn more about the key things we need to keep in mind as we look to get on TV.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU’LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: * How'd Sabrina end up in journalism? 8:52* What helped her realize that she should strike out on her own? 9:46* Has the freedom of the local TV affiliate been taken away as media companies grow? 11:57* Has she had a process of building "hype" for stories she's done in the newsroom? 15:07* What does Sabrina recommend for pivot businesses who want to build more cohesion with their audience? 19:22* If someone wants to be featured on their local morning show, how should they go about doing that? 24:31* What are some tips Sabrina has for someone who's new to media? 28:42* Who are three influencers or teachers who've helped her get to where she's at in life? 33:19* What is her favorite social custom? 34:37* What's something she'd like to do but no one knows about? 35:44* How can someone be a difference maker in their community? 36:13 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Sabrina Online: Website, Facebook, LinkedInCohost: Veronica KirinPowered By: Uncover Your Personal Mission Right click here and save-as to download this episode to your computer.

For a lot of business owners, the pandemic has cost them their livelihood. For example, Yelp! recently shared that 55% of the businesses using their platform which closed down due to the pandemic aren't coming back. What's a business team to do when you're looking at those kinds of numbers? How can you avoid having to close down?The answer, I believe, is all about being able to make a pivot. And this is something we've been discussing in great detail on the show.Unfortunately, for some business teams, pivoting might not be too obvious. Sure, curb service and delivery for some restaurants makes sense, but what if your restaurant wasn't so much a restaurant, but a bar? What if you're reliant on a market that's not doing so great right now such as realty?Today's guest, Dirk van Reenen, excels at helping teams focus on the foundations of business and how they scale their businesses in ways that they might not have noticed before. In fact, with the future looking like things will be changing faster and faster, it's important that all businesses know how to quickly pivot.So what does that look like? Well, the first thing is all about building the right team - and that's where today's conversation takes us.Listen in as Andy and I learn more about Dirk's business BERGflow and how it might benefit those of us going through or preparing to go through a hard time.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU’LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: * What's the path that Dirk followed to eventually starting BERGFlow? 9:45* Where did the name BERGFlow come from? 15:20* What are some things people need to consider when building a team as a solopreneur? 20:24* What challenges does remote work give to a group who's forming into an effective team? 26:50* If a leader finds themselves in a situation where there's trust issue in the team, how can they get back some of the control in their group? 32:02* According to Dirk, what's the importance of a business team building something worthwhile? 38:54* What kind of things is Dirk looking forward to as we move into a different world post-pandemic? 45:40* What's the best advice he's ever received? 51:40* Which three books does he gift or tell others about? 52:11* What's the smallest decision he's made that has had the largest impact in his life? 54:22* What's one thing all high school students must know? 59:01* What's the secret to achieving personal freedom? 1:01:41 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Dirk Online: Website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeCohost: Andy DixPowered By: KennectedDocumentary - Happy - (Flow in BERGfow comes from this documentary)

Today, more than ever, videos play a large part in social media marketing. If you have a goal of becoming a social influencer, there's a pretty good chance you'll need to know how to not only make but produce good quality content to attract people to be part of your audience.Here's the catch, though. Not all business owners want to be social influencers. In fact, many business owners might prefer to stay out of that particular limelight because they feel that it would take even more time to make that extra content. Time they could be spending doing what works and less experimenting with new content.So how does someone who prefers to work their craft and/or work 1 on 1 with their clients, find the time to create and edit this new content?Well, truth is, they need to bring in someone who has a proven process to attract the right type of audience.Our guest, Rohan Kale, fits the bill. Personally, I call him more of a social media marketing architect. Not only does he has the process down, but like an architect, hires out the in person work to local videographers.It's a really fascinating business model.In this session, Andy and I learn how he got started in business and what about his approach makes his process a winner today and in the future.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU’LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: * How did Rohan's choice to go to business school eventually lead to starting his own business? 14:31* When it comes to building a business, is it worth becoming a social influencer first or should it be a focus in fortune? 20:17* How can someone increase their lead generation with a limited budget? 22:00* How do you shift the thought of online marketing being a gamble to a one where you know it has a given ROI? 25:18* What factors should a business owner consider when they're determining whether to stay localized or go global with their marketing? 26:48* For someone who has an in person based business, how does Rohan make his business work from the other side of the world? 29:39* What mistakes does Rohan commonly see with those who want to be a social influencer? 31:40* What are three tips he'd recommend to those who are looking to expand their reach and influence? 33:10* How has the pandemic affected his business? 38:16* What is one song, one book, and one film Rohan he'd add to the curriculum in school? 39:53* What's the best advice he's ever received? 46:25* What new belief, behavior, or habit has most improved his life? 47:35* What is something people don't realize is a huge waste of money? 49:14* How can someone be a difference maker in their community? 51:33 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Rohan Online: Website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTubeCohost: Andy DixPowered By: Fizzle (Start get started for free today!)

When we have the discussion about achievement and having greater success, many times we go straight to tactics and tools as the answer. Or, if we know better, maybe we'll take a look at our vision and mission and see if it needs to be tweaked a bit.One thing we often skip over, however, is our mindset. As we've been learning in the show recently, mindsets can be seen as the lenses we see the world in. And there's a lot of talk about going from negative mindsets to more positive alternatives.Most of the time, though, this has been a bit of nebulous concept. Especially, when we don't know where we're currently at and how we can improve from there.However, in this session, our goal is to bring that conversation down to reality a bit.Our guest, Dr. Ryan Gottfredson, has spent over five years looking at the knowledge and data on what it means to go from good to great when it comes to mindsets. And what he's found is that mindsets can actually be quantifiable. Through his assessment and book, Success Mindsets, we have a way to find out where we're at in our positive and negative mindsets and have a plan to move all our If you've been searching for an assessment to help you get more clarity on where you should go in your self development journey, this is a great place to start.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU’LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: * How did Ryan end up in the Organizational Behavior field and later looking at mindsets? 10:06* Why does he look at mindsets versus personalities? 13:44* What are the four opposing mindsets that we can encounter in the world? 16:57* How do the results of Gallup's annual poll on leadership tie into Ryan's research? 21:42* How do we as leaders become the better version of ourselves so we can inspire our followers to be their best? 24:04* Is there a way to make sure we don't fall into self protective stress and keep in a growth mindset? 26:03* What exercises can someone do to keep them in a growth mindset? 29:09* Does Ryan feel that his new growth mindset is his new default setting or will he have to continue to reinforce it over time? 32:50* What role does a coach play in helping someone improve their mindset? 35:37* What benefits can someone expect from reading Ryan's book "Success Mindsets"? 36:43* When it comes to the word agile, what does it mean at the individual level? 38:16* What has Ryan been doing as part of his pandemic pivot? 41:58* How infectious are mindsets when it comes to other people? 43:43* What are Ryan's top 3 favorite books he gifts or tells others about? 45:24* When you become overwhelmed or unfocused, what does he do? 46:49* If he were to run a business or do a job for a day that he's currently not, what would it be? 47:51* What's the smallest decision Ryan's made that's had the greatest impact on his life? 48:31* How can someone be a difference maker in their community? 49:39 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Ryan Online: Website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeCohost:

During the civil unrest of 2020, there's been a lot of talk about how to create safe neighborhoods for everyone. However, this isn't a new topic by any means. In fact, it's an issue that many cities have been dealing with for a number of decades.For example, here in Indianapolis, we're way ahead of the curve when it comes to homicides for the year. It's only June and we have had over 100 people killed. This curve has been rising year after year.Add to that the frustration people have with law enforcement and the systems in place for their accountability, and it only makes sense that there's protests.However, where many people draw the line is when those protests turn to violence. When protests turn to riots, that's where the message starts getting lost.So, if people want to make a change for the better, wouldn't it make sense that they do so in non-threatening manner?This session's guest, Commander Dale Brown of the Threat Management Center in Detroit, MI, believes that's the case. On top of this, through his experience of over 25 years, he also believes that when people know a bit about self protection, crime in neighborhoods tends to go down.In this session, Veronica and I learn why this is the case, and what society can do to erase the man made construct of race all together.If you're a peace loving individual and have wanted to have your voice heard, then perhaps Dale's message is for you.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU’LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: * What drew Dale to Detroit to teach the east side community how to defend themselves? 8:08* When lots of people were leaving Detroit during the recession, why did Dale stick around and continue to develop the Detroit Threat Management Center? 12:04* How does Dale see Detroit's current renaissance playing a part in the rather peaceful protests they're seeing? 19:50* Since race is a manmade construct, what are some steps we as a society can do to get rid of it? 30:44* How has Dale had to pivot during the pandemic? 35:11* What are three books he gifts to others or tells them about? 39:23* In the last few years, what's something Dale's started saying no to and why? 40:11* What is something that's $100 or less that's changed his life? 49:02* Is there anything he believed as an 18 year old but now realizes is completely inaccurate? 49:46* How can someone be a difference maker in their community? 51:17 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: * Dale Online: Website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube* Cohost: Veronica Kirin* Powered By: Uncover Your Personal Mission* Hulu Documentary Series "Abandoned" (Dale's on the last part of the last episode - 10)* Jordan Harbinger AoL Interview* Art of War*

For many people, the main reason they don't start a business is simply because they don't want to (or feel they can't) sell. In fact, many of the most successful books in business are those that teach the reader how to sell. And interestingly, many of those books teach tactics that reinforce the reader's perspective of sales. This perspective being that sales is all about bypassing objections that a potential buyer would have.However, what I've learned in the last few years is that sales, when done right, is more about adding value or service to someone who needs a particular solution. Meaning that, if you're looking to develop a sales process, it needs to include a phase where you can ask questions from the potential buyer. It also needs to include a point where you suggest the solution based on the buyer's needs. And then, if they need help, they'll ask for it.This session's guest, Chris Spurvey, is all about that process. And, in fact, he suggests that ambiverts, who are people who aren't quite extroverts or introverts are the best equipped to do sales.Interestingly enough, most people who can't think of doing sales the "traditional" way, are, in fact, ambiverts.In this session, we learn from Chris why ambiverts like him, have this special power to be super successful at giving people what they want.If you've dreaded sales in the past because you don't want to come across as being sleezy or pushy, then this chat is one you don't want to miss.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU’LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: * How did Chris get over his initial perspective on sales? 12:19* If someone wants to change their perspective on how to sell, what kind of mindset shift would help directly with that? 19:21* What does he think about the concept of people trying to do the smallest amount of work for the greatest ROI when it comes to their effectiveness as a business owner? 25:34* Why does Chris believe business systems are so important? 29:04* What was the decision process like for Chris to write a book even though he didn't see himself as an author? 33:25* Does he have advice for those who feel they're being pressed to write a book but they don't feel that they're an author at heart? 37:50* What's Chris' pandemic pivot looking like and what has him excited about it? 40:27* Which song, book, and film would he add to the national curriculum? 44:55* Is there something he's been recently learning about he's excited to start implementing? 46:52* What's something he'd like to do in his lifetime that no one knows about? 48:04* Is there something that's changed his life for under $100? 48:50* What's the secret to achieving personal freedom? 49:48 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: * Chris Online: Website, LinkedIn, YouTube* Cohost: Veronica Kirin* Powered By: Uncover Your Personal Mission* Gregory Diehl AoL Podcast* Reiss Motivation Profile* Andy Dix AoL Interview* The Greatest Networker in the World*

As the world heads back to a post pandemic normal, more people find themselves wondering about getting ahead of the new status quo.As we move forward, once again many people are realizing (again) the future is uncertain. Just like security was a big concern after 9/11, corporate wellness is going to be a huge topic moving forward. Corporations, being the relatively static entities they are, prefer to have all their ducks in a row. The more predictable the future is, the better they look to their investors.So one would think that part of the new status quo is going to be maintaining a healthy workplace and workforce. Is a business capable of properly reacting to potential future waves of this (and other) diseases? For us creative entrepreneur types, we know that with uncertainty comes big opportunity. So that's why in the last couple of months, my business partners and I have been working on starting a wellness consulting business.If the corporations want to go digging for gold ( in wellness), then we're more than happy to help them find the tools they need.Even if you don't have the expertise to capitalize directly on the new status quo, there will be more than enough room for to indirectly capitalize on it.For example, perhaps you're an artist. Is there a way for you to use the technology everyone has become accustomed to using to get more people around your work? (Yes, virtual art shows...)As we speak with this session's guest, Greg Reid, Veronica and I learn a little bit about the mindset he's used in getting ahead himself - now and in the future.If you've not heard from Greg before, then today might be one of those days which changes the trajectory of those that follow.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU’LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: * How did Greg get in a position where he was able to capitalize on opportunities when they came along? 8:50* What has having connections done for Greg? How can someone start getting ahead by building strategic connections? 17:46* How does he stay relevant to all the people who's in the Switchboard? 21:48* From Greg's perspective, why is good etiquette and preparedness so important to success? 24:07* What behaviors should people work on if they're serious about building their own dream or an empire? 27:13* What's Greg excited for in 2020? 35:23* Who are his current top 3 influencers who have helped him get to where he's at today? 38:54* What gift does he like giving others? 39:57* How can someone tell the difference between a Credible Source vs someone who's trying to fake it until they make it? 42:18* What's advice out there is a disservice to youth? 43:21* What would be found in the "Guide to Being a Creative" handbook? 44:36* According to Greg, what's it mean to live a life of Abundance? 46:07 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: * Greg Online: Website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube* Cohost: Veronica Kirin* Powered By: Kennected - Automated LinkedIn Cold Connectin...

Here it is 2020, and a good part of the population scratches their head when the subject of Millennials and Gen Z comes up. With the pandemic completely changing how things are done in the working world for the foreseeable future, it would seem that these generations are going to be the ones left picking up the pieces and reassembling the economy in their own way.So what exactly does that look like? For the most part, we know what it looks like for entrepreneurs. But the usual 9 to 5 world is going to change drastically in the next 5 to 10 years. Like after 9/11, when we were all about ramping up security, are we going to now see a continued uptick in technology use specifically geared towards maintaining healthy workplaces? How will this change the workplace overall? Will things ever go back to "normal"?These are some of the questions Veronica and I ask this session's guest, Chris Tuff, author of the book The Millennial Whisperer.If you've not heard Chris before and you're into futurism, I think you'll really enjoy this chat.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU’LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: * What's his take on the responsibility he has a Xennial? 12:00* When did Chris choose to get into marketing as his career? 16:20* How is Chris working with leaders to reshape their internal company structures to engage with Millennials? 26:44* What does Chris see in the future when it comes to technology playing an ever increasing role in daily work life? 31:47* According to Chris, what's Shawshanking and what is its role? 36:20* What other technology does he see playing a role in Millennial's lives in the not too distant future? 39:07* Besides writing another book, what else is Chris looking forward to doing in 2020 as we move through the pandemic? 42:41* Which teachers and influencers have helped Chris get to where he's at today? 47:16* What's the biggest plot twist he's seen in his day to day life? 49:14* What message in society is a disservice to youth? 50:46* Is there something under $100 which changed his life? 51:06* What's the secret to achieving personal freedom? 51:39 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: * Chris Online: Website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram* Cohost: Veronica Kirin* Powered By: FREE Resource - Uncover Your Personal Mission* Get a Job (2016)* Jason Beckerman (Shared the concept of Shawshanking with Chris)* Devin Johnson’s AoL Interview* Antico Pizza* Tommy Breedlove’s AoL Interview Right click here and save-as to download this episode to your computer.

In a an usual time like we're going through right now, it's easy to be hyper responsive to everything that's going on around us. Practicing mindfulness is probably the last thing many folks are thinking about. In fact, I'd go on to say that many people are doing the opposite - they're in a constant state of panic. They're still focused on what we've been through, not where the world is going.But can you blame them? Many who were hanging on a thread from their day job have found themselves in a lot of hurt right now. Even small business owners and farmers find themselves having to do things they never thought they'd have to.What I've personally found out is this. If we can manage our stress in stressful times, then new solutions and new ways of looking at the world come more readily. We have to give ourselves room to find our own pandemic pivot. (Plus it always seems to me that survivors in zombie movies tend to see what the masses are doing, and do the opposite!)In this conversation with Kelly DiNardo, we learn about a time where she herself had to pivot earlier in her career. While it wasn't convenient at the time, it sure did prep her for future times of adversity.Enjoy!

When it comes to the entrepreneurial mindset, most of the time we hear topics that the new business owner needs to know. It's great to know that there's so much support for folks new to the game. In fact, people like my unofficial mentor Pat Flynn and the crew over at Fizzle have made decent livings on helping these folks. (Which I admire because it's really hard to grow a reputation in this market segment. The market is already saturated and many folks don't or can't pay at this stage in the game.)However, there is market for entrepreneurs and business owners who have had a bit of success. This is the scaling stage - the stage that Veronica, Andy, myself, and previous cohosts of the show specialize in.And depending on how they've grown the business to this point, the way that they'll continue to grow is more than likely completely different than what got them to that level of success.In today's chat with Joe, Veronica and I are reminded that different personalities can build a business so far. It's when you bring other complementary personalities to the table that you can obtain true greatness.Enjoy!

Business marketing online is still a bit of a mystery to many business owners. Especially when it comes to LinkedIn.In the past, we've had interviews with LinkedIn marketing experts Myr Bacun and AJ Wilcox about building groups and advertising on the platform.Those are great and cool strategies on their own, and I know they work. But it seems that whenever I go to LinkedIn, I'm always being blasted by 3 to 5 messages saying "Hey, nice to connect! Seems we know similar people. Do you need help with...?" Have you felt that way?As this session's guest, Devin Johnson puts it, it's simply not the way to do long term business.
