Episode Guest is Dr Doug BrackmannSome people are born with a drive often seen in entrepreneurs, pro-athletes, inventors, adventurers and Navy SEALs. It's in their DNA — research has shown that certain genes can manifest resilient and highly focused people who can also be impulsive and easily distracted.

But what the world tells you is a disorder may actually be your greatest gift. Dr. Doug Brackmann is a distinguished psychologist, author of Driven: Understanding and Harnessing the Genetic Gifts Shared by Entrepreneurs, Navy SEALs, Pro Athletes, and Maybe YOU and creator of the Driven Assessment and Shooting Meditation.

About my guest: Meredith Kallaher is a self-professed podcast addict when she heard Rick Mulready, of The Art of Paid Traffic, say “Facebook ads are simple.

Her CPA and 6 years with PricewaterhouseCoopers combined with her social media marketing expertise has uniquely prepared Meredith to help businesses execute and implement successful social media advertising campaigns. “I love numbers,” Meredith thought as Rick explained that successful ad strategies required Managers to understand the lifetime value of a customer for a business, compare that to the related acquisition cost by evaluating target audience sizes, cost per lead, return on ad spend, and click-through rate percentages. “EASY” said all the creative CPA's in the room!

Guy Bauer is the Founder and Creative Director of Umault, an agency that makes wildly creative B2B video marketing campaigns people actually want to watch. Guy has been making commercial videos for over 20 years and is the author of Death to the Corporate Video: A Modern Approach that Works. He started the agency in 2010 after a decade of working in TV, film, and radio. Umault is a play on umlaut, the diacritical mark (you know, those German two dots loved by heavy metal bands). The umlaut draws attention to what would otherwise be overlooked, and isn't that the point of great marketing? Umault's goal is to make sure an amazing product or service stands out in a sea of mediocre content. Guy believes that in video marketing, the idea is everything and his fleet of creatives and producers excels at shepherding an idea through the entire process, from concepting to scripting through to delivery of the final videos. When he isn't helping his clients tell a story that resonates and delights while hitting all of their key messages and business prompts, Guy enjoys spending time at his home in Chicago with his two young children and kicking himself for being a Cincinnati Bengals fan.

Sky Stephens is the co-founder of the Association of Professional Builders, a business coaching company dedicated to improving the residential construction industry for both builders and consumers. Sky is a firm believer that residential home builders deserve to be earning more money for the service they are providing and that consumers deserve a superior service than they currently receive. The problem is the difficulty of delivering world-class service on tiny margins, or without having the proper systems in place. In order to maximise client experience and overcome these difficulties, the Association Of Professional Builders helps builders systemise their building company. The result is an improved client experience which leads to more demand. This allows an increase in margins and ultimately the ability to scale their businesses into desirable building companies that possess real value and can be sold as an asset.
