#INFORTHEKILL's Podcast

John and I have been working together for some time now and we have learned to bounce ideas off each other. Mostly about branding, social media, creating content and how the world perceives you when you press the post button.  This conversation is us just going back and forth on what type of mentality you need in order to be successful online and being ok with looking foolish in the beginning when you are first starting off.  www.rubenalvarez.com

We all need to network up. That means that we must always be on the look-out for a qualified connection. A vetted connection that cares as much about us as we do about them. Rob teaches you to do that. He instructs people to ask good questions and discover the ways to make a new or existing connection stronger.  Rob coach executives how to network. Most executives don't talk to their employees for fear of saying something they shouldn't. So where do they network and with whom? Do they have a list of their own trusted colleagues that they can speak to? Usually, but not in-depth. He teaches them how to find those colleagues in their network. Usually vetted contacts like these are hiding in plain sight. We're inventing a new way to build stronger customer relationships by simplifying the executive networking process.

This week I break down the top social media sites and what the purpose of each one is. If you really take a moment, take down some notes and reflect on what I say, you might be able to develop a winning presence online.  Social media is not just slapping things together and post them online. There is a purpose and a method to the madness.  Can you figure it out? www.rubenalvarez.com

There are certain things and ideas your mind thinks up whenever you are fearful of something. It is not always jumping out of a plane or swimming with sharks either.  It can be going to the gym, waking up earlier or making a sales call. Right when you are about to do it, you get the thought that contradicts you taking action. It might even just tell you to prolong it.  You shouldn't. You should do it in that moment and do it for longer than you even want to. Run the extra half mile, make an additional 5 calls after you promised to only make 10.  Outdo yourself even by your own standards. That is what Muhmmed Ali used to say. He only counts the sit ups once he wants to quit. Those are the only ones that matter.  www.rubenalvarez.com

By lifting others up and giving back to the community and veterans through great organizations like Hire Heroes USA. Another one of the ways Erik is able to give back is by sharing his story and encouraging others, no matter what path they are on to find hope and purpose. Erik's natural approach ability and heart for people make him a great speaker for different events and podcasts. He knows that sometimes having the opportunity to meet someone and hear their story and how they've overcome is the courage someone might need to find new strength in their own battle.

In your mind, you know what you want. You know exactly how much money, how many followers or what position you want at your place of work.  Here is the issue with all of that. You will one day get it. When this happens, what will you do after? Have you stopped to think about that? In that moment, you might have only wanted a $2 raise and instead you get promoted to VP of Sales, making 2X your normal salary. Amazing right? Will you coast on this title? Will the money go to your head?  It is scary to think that most people are not prepared for something miraculous to happen to them. This is why all the lottery winners usually spend all the money and are broke within a year. They thought they could win, but never really thought it would happen so soon.  Be prepared. Great things are about to happen in your life. Will you be ready? https://www.rubenalvarez.com/

Victor Maya, and his brother and sister, were smuggled from Mexico into Houston, Texas. His mother had worked herself to the bone to pay coyotes to bring them across rivers and open desert to the U.S.   He was plunged into a culture where he didn’t speak the language, understand its customs, or look like the other kids at school.   From the start, he was an outsider. But this gave Victor advantages immigrant-leaders know best: he became a keen student of people and was hungry to conquer the obstacles stacked against him.   His fascination with human psychology propelled him from a scrappy, street-smart hustler to a seasoned, successful CEO. However, the lessons he learned on the streets still resonate in his programs today.   1:09: Introducing Victor Maya  2:34: See a little, see a lot, have a lot see nothing  5:29: How do you hire the right way? 8:50: Learn how to stay broke  10:58: Do the things you don't like to do in the morning  14:09: Rather want someone who is emotionally intelligent than intellectual intelligence  18:00: You also get paid by love and appreciation  23:12: Do less to do more  27:41: Leaving a legacy  31:35: Success is just not about money  34:16: Victor’s final thoughts  37:22: How to reach out to Victor Maya Click here to learn more about Victor: https://www.cnqrnation.com/home

Attention is and always be such a hot topic. Realistically, who can teach on it? Just because you got attention, it does not mean you can replicate it for others.  To really understand attention, you need to look at what worked for others in every industry. What are the patterns? Was it a trend?  Only when you look deep into it, will you realize attention can be created over and over again and you can capture it at anytime.  That is what separates the super rich from you and I.  0:56: Let's shed some light on what attention is  2:38: Attention is really hard to understand  4:29: Attention is something that can be gathered, it can be manufactured  6:41: People want attention and their business to grow but never want to the bad attention  9:39: Most of the time we are so constricted to our little bubble of what we think is good and what is bad   11:07: Be controversial in a lot of the things that you say  13:02: Get that attention and know how to use it  To learn more about Ruben, visit: www.rubenalvarez.com

David and Patricia Carlin are a powerhouse couple. Most people self proclaim this title, but there is not much substance to their achievements or their relationship. When I first met them, I knew they were not just talk, but have a deep love and respect for each other and the business they run. Who are they? If you’re in the payments industry, you’ve likely heard of Patricia Carlin. For more than 20 years, Patricia has been on the leading edge of digital payments both in the U.S. and abroad. With a lengthy list of credentials, she is branded as one of the most influential people in payments. In fact, she was involved in the very first online merchant account in history! Before digital payments, David’s life was summed up with one word: business. What he didn’t know what just how much residual income his sales agent was making on his monthly volume. That’s exactly how David found himself on the front lines of the digital payments industry. Garnering a wealth of knowledge through his wildly successful e-commerce business and multiple joint ventures, David’s ingenuity and integrity — coupled with his art of the deal — make him the driving force behind Residual Payments.

This episode on clubhouse might get me hate. It might even get some people who I think are new friends mad at me. However, a lot of us are thinking these thoughts and no one is saying them. It should have been a great platform, but got eaten up in the wrong way.

How good does it have to be to merit a tip?

Dr. Sam Bakhtiar and I recorded back in December. I was going to release this episode sometime in March and then he passed. I decided to release it after all because he said things in this episode that showed his true nature and how good of a human he was. I am proud to say I was able to interact with him and see how little the financial side of business meant to him and see first hand that his family was his all. The greatest gift he gave me was the quote "It's not what you leave your children, its what you leave in them."We will never forget you. Thank you for leading us and leaving behind an amazing legacy. https://sambakhtiar.com/

There is a secret to productivity. Buckle down and work! Ha. In all seriousness, it takes months if not years to find out what will work for you. In this episode, I breakdown how I am able to get so much done daily. There is a reason I have been able to change so much in only one year, even through COVID and lockdown restrictions. The four things that have helped me the most are covered in this episode. They can work for you too. Especially #1. I have made and forced so many people who I have worked with implement that into their lives only for them to see that they are not only getting more done, but also remembering to do the items they would have otherwise forgotten. Hope this helps.

We have seen so many businesses fall during this economic downturn. If the businesses doing millions and billions per year in sales are not safe, then who is? With unemployment at an all time high, it is important to secure another source of income based on you, not on a business or service. The internet is a great place to monetize, however a lot of people do not know how and therefore are skeptical. So what is the secret to getting paid for posts, engagement, product reviews, speaking gigs, and more?Well, there are certain things you need to do in order to start succeeding in these areas. I go over them in this podcast. https://www.rubenalvarez.com/

Empress has taken hold of her life and allowing others to do the same. It is not enough to live, we need to go out an d create an empire for which we feel the rulers of. She not only sets the example, but lives it daily. Her music is art, from the first note to the way the videos are directed. I found myself mesmerized and playing her music in a loop. At four-years-old, her hands touched the black and white keys on a keyboard for the first time. Her love for music evolved into a career as a professional dancer and was one of the youngest members of the San Francisco Ballet. After eleven years in SF Ballet, she moved to New York City where I performed on Broadway as the lead in the Tony Award winning production of An American in Paris. Learn More About Empress:https://empress-music.com/Hear Empress' Songs:https://empress-music.com/album/we-own-this-crown/ 

Look, I never thought I would be the guy speaking on this subject. I just find it too interesting now to share. My mind has been looking for new ideas that make more sense than that which lies in front of us. There needs to be more to our minds than just thinking I need to survive. When I first heard the law of attraction and positivity sells, it was like "ok cool" but when you really dive deep into these concepts, they change your world. We are what we think about. There is nothing else to this. Think about something enough and the dots connect. Put out the right frequency and the "universe" helps you get the things you want. The key is to actually believe. Don't wonder how. Just raw belief. If you know something will happen, it will happen. Most people steer clear of this because they try to figure out the puzzle themselves before the right time comes. Have faith. Raise your frequency. 

Today's episode features Ally Melendez. One of the reasons I brought her on is because I felt that in order to be an on air broadcaster, you have to have a certain personality and outlook on life. Ally proved me right and is so positive and full of great energy that she radiates to others. No doubt the sky is the limit for her. She started at a small upstate school in NY. From interning at a local tv station to now being a tv host on the "YES Network".Recently she has launched a course to show others how to get on air as well if they so wish that. Learn more about the On Air Institute here:https://www.allymelendez.com/the-on-air-instituteMore on Ally Here:https://www.allymelendez.com/
