Just The Tips, with James P. Friel and Dean Holland

On today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean grants me a new nickname that I actually earned back in the day when I worked in London, The Loud American, but I quiet down a bit to listen to a good friend of mine, Shawn Lynam, tell his story of how he went from the corporate world, to the real estate world, to internet marketing.

Today’s episode of Just the Tips finds me recovering from an accidental 22-mile walk, but that doesn’t stop me from getting excited about our guest, Chris Dayley. Chris is a mastermind at conversion, having done more than 1,000 split tests in his time, and applying psychology to marketing to really help businesses dig into what makes customers convert.

On today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean comes through with the promise of something he teased in an earlier episode, which is a hugely successful marketing strategy that he’s implemented for his own business. In the last episode, Dean said he was working on the strategy that had been crushing it, but then he turned it into an episode of Zero Tips and wouldn’t tell us what it actually was. Well, today the wait is over, and we can now hear about what Dean has been up to and how he’s been killing it

Today’s episode of Just the Tips has me welcoming two guests to the show, one being former co-host Dean Holland whom I have summarily downgraded to recurring guest. The other is a guy who knows a thing or two about digital marketing, the amazing Mike Schmidt. MIKE is the CEO and Founder of a digital marketing agency based in Tucson, Arizona and founded Agency Mastermind to share his craft and nurture and encourage more web professionals.

Today’s episode of Just the Tips is just Dean and me, and it starts off with two interesting premises: 1) I’m nice to Dean and 2) Dean doesn’t like podcasts. What better way to start a podcast off than that? But actually, we use the dull podcast that Dean listened to make a larger point about how brands that are connecting with their audiences and customers are the ones who show personality.

Today’s episode of Just the Tips dives into a topic that everyone is talking about but few understand: cryptocurrency. Our guest is Brian Noonan, a guy I’ve known for several years as a top marketer, but in the last couple years he’s really become a leader in the world of cryptocurrency, running The Official CryptoDynamics™ Investment Club and helping people wade into the world of Bitcoin and more.

Today’s episode of Just the Tips is all about a mystery to me: relationships. Unless we’re talking about one’s relationship to spreadsheets, this is basically a foreign subject to me, but Stacey Martino and her husband Paul have been helping people find true satisfaction and happiness in their relationships through their site RelationshipDevelopment.org and RelationshipU®.

Today’s episode of Just the Tips sets a world record for Quickest Burn on a Podcast with Dean laying into me not ten seconds in, but we right the ship in time to welcome an amazing guest, Mark Podolsky, a man known across the Internet as the Land Geek. Mark has done more than 5,200 land deals since 2001, and knows about as much as anyone about generating passive income through land investing.

Bob Burg is the co-author of the Go-Giver, a book that has sold more than 700,000 copies and has become hugely—pardon the pun—influential. On this week’s episode, we talk about what it really means to influence others, how doing so requires you to master your emotions, and Bob’s five secrets for gaining influence. His philosophy is about more than business success, it’s about becoming a better person. It’s really wall-to-wall with tips this week, so you don’t want to miss this one.

It is the rare episode of Just the Tips where our guest receives the trumpet fanfare typically reserved for my esteemed British co-host Dean Holland. But if anyone deserves it, it’s Brandon Carter, one of the funniest and most strategic marketers in the game. You may know Brandon as a fitness expert, but we’re talking to him today about his marketing success story.

This week on Just the Tips Dean and I sit down to process an amazing experience I had recently, where I had the opportunity to see Warren Buffett at the Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting in Omaha, Nebraska. I had high expectations for the event, and I have to say it was even more amazing than I thought it would be.

This week on Just the Tips we have a guest who has been through it all. He’s been homeless, and he’s run multiple seven-figure companies, and he’s always found a way to give back. Akbar Sheikh is a best-selling author, speaker and philanthropist with a concentration on orphans and giving the gift of vision to blind children.

This week on Just the Tips we have a guest who is a very good friend of mine (confirmed by both parties, after Dean questioned whether it was a one-way friendship), who is not only one of the best coaches out there for digital marketing, she also has a remarkable story of pulling herself up by her bootstraps and creating something out of almost nothing. On this episode, we talk about how she hit rock bottom, how she then rocketed to success, and how she helps people do the same.

Our guest Ken Dunn has done a lot and lived a full life, but what’s fascinating about him is that he’s now turned his attention to reading and writing, not only helping people write books, but helping create the next generation of readers. He’s the founder of GoRead.com, one of the leading online retailers for books and a man who has helped dozens of authors finish their books. This is an episode that’s going to surprise you, and not just because it’s the first one that ends with Dean and me in a

This week on Just the Tips we have a guest who has been a client of mine, a friend of mine, and ultimately someone I greatly admire. Krista Mashore is a realtor in Northern California who has sold more than 100 house a year for nearly her entire career, placing her in the top 1% of realtors in the nation. She’s someone who has really found her own way of doing things, and obviously found enormous success in her own approach.
