    THE ONE THING | Seth Godin: This is Marketing

    The world's largest hotel chains spend billions on marketing, yet if you closed your eyes inside their rooms, you couldn't tell them apart. Meanwhile, a $200 sneaker company can instantly make you feel something about who you are and what you stand for. Why? Marketing legend Seth Godin reveals it comes down to the difference between having a logo and building a true brand.Seth Godin revealed three transformative insights about modern marketing that every business leader needs to understand:First, there's a crucial difference between having a logo and having a brand. As Seth illustrated with his hotel analogy, "If Nike opened a hotel, we'd all know exactly what it would be like. If Hyatt made sneakers, we'd have no clue." A true brand makes a distinct promise and sets clear expectations. The real measure of your brand isn't your logo or slogan – it's how much extra people will pay above the substitute. If customers won't pay more for your offering versus the competition, you don't have a brand; you have a commodity with a logo.Special Thanks to our Sponsor!If you know me, I have a few key things in my pockets at all times. 1.

    The One Thing: Chris Voss

    This segment is called, The One Thing...If you asked me what's the one thing you should learn from negotiation boss, Chris Voss, it's this:  Splitting the difference is actually terrible negotiation advice.Conventional business wisdom about finding win-win solutions and meeting in the middle is fundamentally flawed, according to former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss. After years of high-stakes negotiations where lives hung in the balance, Voss learned that splitting the difference is often the worst possible outcome."Win-win is one of the most dangerous negotiating approaches," Voss told me in our recent interview. "If somebody uses the term win-win in the first five minutes of our conversation, they're trying to get me to do something for nothing."This isn't just tough talk from a former FBI agent. Harvard Business School research backs this up. Their studies found that "win-win" negotiators consistently underperform against more assertive counterparts. While collaborative negotiators might achieve B+ results when working with like-minded people, they get absolutely destroyed when going up against what Harvard calls "claim value" negotiators.But this doesn't mean we should become aggressive wheeler-dealers. The real secret, according to Voss, is something he calls "tactical empathy" - understanding and acknowledging the other side's position while remaining firmly anchored to your own principles."The adversary is the situation, not the person you're talking to," Voss explains. His approach reframes negotiation as "great collaboration with long-term prosperity for both sides."This philosophy has found strong validation in the business world. Mark Cuban, who Voss has discussed negotiation with, emphasizes testing potential partners rigorously while maintaining a collaborative mindset. The goal isn't to squeeze every last penny from a deal, but to ensure both parties bring their A-game to a lasting partnership.I've personally seen this play out in countless business deals. Early in my career, I'd often split the difference on project budgets, thinking I was being reasonable. What I actually did was create mediocre outcomes that left both sides slightly dissatisfied.The better approach? Voss advocates for establishing clear value first, then holding firm on price. "Price doesn't make deals, it breaks deals," he insists. "Your salary doesn't make your career. Your salary gives you the ability to pay your bills while you try to make your career."This aligns with research from behavioral economists like Daniel Kahneman, who found that people react twice as strongly to losses as they do to equivalent gains. By focusing on value creation rather than price compromise, we can shift the conversation away from what each side might lose through concessions.The most powerful lesson from Voss isn't about being tough - it's about being principled. Instead of searching for middle ground, focus on creating maximum value for both parties. Sometimes this means walking away from a seemingly reasonable compromise in search of a truly excellent outcome.As Voss puts it: "The secret to negotiation is learning to exhaust the other side." Not through aggression or manipulation, but through unwavering commitment to finding the best possible solution for everyone involved.When it comes to important negotiations, don't split the difference. Create difference-making value instead.Support the show

When Starbucks and local cafes removed their chairs and cut off WiFi access during COVID-19, millions of remote workers, freelancers, and students lost their favorite hangout spots.

But this movement is bigger than your workout.

They hail from the dawn of personal computing in the second half of the 20th century, a time of dizzying optimism—when it was still possible to imagine that a global digital network linking all of humanity would inevitably lead to a better tomorrow."This is a fascinating case study into building a bespoke luxury brand that's not designed for the masses.

The scrappy duo completely self-funded the company by emptying their savings accounts, draining their 401Ks and maxing-out credit cards, and they originally packaged orders by hand and made deliveries in their personal vehicles. Everyone told them that a DTC model “would never work,” but Danny and Cole knew they could disrupt the market. Fast forward to 2024, HexClad is outpacing the competition due to its patented technology, beautiful design and high-quality product innovation. HexClad is the first company to successfully marry stainless steel with non-stick, producing a “best of both worlds” product. The durability and performance of stainless (excellent searing and temperature conductivity) with the ease and convenience of non-stick (super easy to clean, dishwasher safe, oven safe).

    How important is culture?The answer might surprise you...Peter Drucker gets credit for saying, "In business, culture eats strategy for breakfast." I agree with Drucker...What I think he meant by this is that you can spend months-- or years working on your business strategy, but (business) culture permeates everyone and everything it comes in contact with to the point that it's an unstoppable force--for both good and evil. I sat down with performance, leadership training and culture expert Dr. Michael Gervais who added, "In every organization we belong to, we're (also) apart of a culture. And either you are contributing to that culture or you are allowing it to be what it is."This really got me thinking deeply about my own personal and business associations including my internal team, client and vendor relationships.  I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.

    Hi everyone, welcome to another episode of the show, I'm your host, Bryan Elliott. I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for listening and helping to make this show what it is.We've had a rush of new fans and followers and I couldn't be more excited to be on this journey with you. Behind the Brand started as a side hustle because in 2008 my little start up was in trouble. I had just resigned from a big brand marketing job at one of the biggest studios in Hollywood. My dream was to open a production company with a focus on building brands thru the art of storytelling. But it was looking like the Great Recession was going to get the best of me and I didn't know what to do. That year I read a book called Tribes written by one of my favorite authors, Seth Godin. It became a roadmap for me — and a North Star to navigate very choppy waters. Spoiler alert— I made it thru some tough times and now this show is dedicated to all of you as well as anyone who is trying to build a successful business and brand. Here's a little mix tape I made of Seth's Top 10 lessons — here we go! P.S.

    Ryan Serhant might be the king of East Coast real estate but he's also building a media empire. Why? The answer might not surprise you...Serhant is building a media empire on top of this real estate prowess for several reasons. The first reason is obvious: helping other real estate agents who he employs build a brand like Serhants is good business. Another reason building a brand matters is because clients now require it. That is, when Serhant or his agents do marketing for a property, the client builds in social media exposure (via Serhant's vast influence) into the contracts. The final reason Serhant is doubling down on media is because as it turns out, the same principles that apply to real estate could also apply to a lot of other industries and THEY could also become Serhant clients via the media portal. Support the show

He's also got a growing side hustle as a very unlikely social media influencer with more than 1M followers on TikTok as well as an expanding audience on other platforms. How did this happen? How did he do it? In my observation, at the heart of Timm's success and popularity is the fact that he's all of us. That is, he's a mild-mannered guy living in Brooklyn with his beautiful family trying his best to live life to the fullest. He has stress and struggles at home and work. He battles with being in ruts and mild depressive episodes. Life is wonderful and difficult. Sound familiar?He's a husband and father living his life out loud in public for all of us to see --and relate to. He's up at 4:00am to catch up on work stuff, then takes his daughter to school...and piano lessons...and karate...and school plays. His wife is a hard worker as well and has inspired Timm to start running more and taking good care of himself. It's a throw back and hybrid to Norman Rockwell meets Casey Neistat at the height of his daily vlog days. Now with powerful representation and backing from Night Media, the same firm that reps MrBeast, it just seems like a matter of time before Timm quits his day job to go all-in on his storytelling and content creation career. Support the show

The two of them teamed up to do a hair dye product… Since then, Tyler and Josh have done a lot, including making new music to get us thru this Fourth Turning — they both go married and Tyler has a couple of kids. In fact, Tyler and his wife Jenna are reported to be having their 3rd child next month.Front man Tyler gets a lot of attention but the more shy Josh, who feels more comfortable doing his talking with drum sticks rarely does interviews — so this one means a lot to me as I'm a big fan.  I'm so impressed with this band of 2 who puts on an incredible show an makes music that millions of fans like me love.This shout out is not sponsored but Twenty One pilots has a new single out called Overcompensate and their new album Clancy drops in May.

    In 2006, Andrew Wilkinson was a young college dropout working as a barista in Canada while pondering his next move. His trajectory changed after a casual conversation with two web designers who had turned the coffee shop into a makeshift office. Wilkinson, napkin math in hand and enamored by the potential profits and lifestyle, took the bus to the local bookstore and bought a book on web design.
