From Colin -- I've been a fan of Diana Kander ever since I read All In Startup back in 2014. Her latest book is all about pitching and presenting, and she actually charts out the proven flow of a pitch that is surprising, memorable and gets you the deal. This book taps into so many thing I consult with leaders on, I had to have her on to share Diana and her book with you! ---------Notes: ~5:00 The Mug Moment! ~7:00 The Forgetting Curve “Our research revealed that within an hour the audience forgets 50% of what you said, within a week they forget 90%. If you want them to remember more than 10% (which might not even be the 10% you want them to remember) you have to spike their emotions during the presentation.” ~21:00 The importance of being a lifelong learner… “Think of something you're awesome at, and I challenge you to go read a book on it and not 5 things you can be doing even better. That's how we grow. As soon as you're satisfied, you start stagnating.” ~24:00 Colin and Diana talk about our initial exploratory/sales calls, and what we've both learned about how most people make this pitch in the wrong order. ~26:00 mark, there's a really cool little moment where Diana clearly thinks of something she wants to say and she swallows it to keep listening!! All kinds of meta. ~28:00 Diana offers YOU the listener, unprompted, a special surprise gift! You can find Go Big Or Go Home, by Diana Kander and Tucker Trotter, ⁠on Amazon⁠ and at ⁠DianaKander.com⁠. ------------- Colin Ryan is a humorous financial speaker who partners with universities and businesses to help more people manage money and achieve financial success.

With New York Times Best-selling author, entrepreneur and innovation consultant Diana Kander What makes successful women entrepreneurs tick? And what unique challenges do they face? Author and entrepreneur Diana Kander suggests that one helpful way for us to think about women entrepreneurs – and entrepreneurs in general – is as people who set and reach extreme goals. Yet for many women, why is one of the hardest things to do setting goals in the first place? How do their relationships influence the way they pursue professional goals and ambitions? And when women fail, are they more or less likely than men to try again? Kander delves into these insights about entrepreneurial gumption and other issues that she’s uncovered while building her own ventures, consulting with corporate clients and writing her acclaimed books All In Startup and The Curiosity Muscle. From discussing what it takes for startups to launch disruptive products to exploring why more established companies peak, lose their curiosity and forfeit their relevance with customers, Kander offers perspectives that women entrepreneurs – and anyone with an idea to build upon – will find both enlightening and useful.

Currently, the Associate Director of the John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa, Laurie Watje coaches students who want to start their own business or become entrepreneurs. As a mentor and counselor, Laurie advises her students thoughtfully but ultimately encourages them to find their own way in the business world. In this episode we will discuss:Customer discovery and how to successfully establish a baseValue proposition and solving a problem with a startupCreating a business plan in the competitive entrepreneurship worldUnderstanding which decisions are worth the riskQuotes:“You better be sure that [entrepreneurship] is truly what you want to do for the rest of your life. But know when to say no- know when to quit. It's not for everyone. If you don't like risk or uncertainty then this is not your path. This is not what you should be doing.” (5:57)“If we didn't have stress we wouldn't be alive. Stress is part of life- it's how you handle stress. And you also have to put it into perspective and say, ‘What's the worst thing that could happen?'And if you can handle that, you're going to be okay.” (8:06)“Don't be afraid to be yourself...Don't worry about pleasing other people. Be true to yourself.” (10:52)Links:Laurie Watje UNI Professor Profile: https://business.uni.edu/faculty-staff/laurie-watjeLaurie Watje Johnpappa John Profile: https://jpec.uni.edu/laurie-watje“All In Startup” book by Diana Kander: https://www.amazon.com/All-Startup-Launching-Idea-Everything-ebook/dp/B00JUUZP92Sponsors:LadyBossLadyBoss is a premium nutrition company that provides the best weight loss supplements in the world for women.

There are more than 10,000 entrepreneurship classrooms in the U.S., reaching more than half a million students, but the vast majority of educators are teaching entrepreneurship from a textbook rather than letting students experience it for themselves. Diana Kander, an entrepreneur and senior fellow at the Kauffman Foundation, hopes to change that. Diana joins us today to talk about "All In Startup," her new novel about the trials and tribulations of starting a business, and accompanying curriculum that gets students out of the classroom to experience launching a venture themselves. With the book receiving acclaim from the likes of Tony Hsieh of Zappos and Silicon Valley serial entrepreneur Steve Blank, this is an interview you won't want to miss!
