Today on Sense of Soul, Shanna and guest co-host Ryan Jamison had an inspirating conversation with, Anthony Arismendi, former FBI agent with a highly decorated and distinguished career spanning two decades of undercover operations against drug cartels, gangs, organized crime, violent criminals, and terrorist organizations. Anthony joined us to talk about his book “Outsider Agent: The Extraordinary Adventures of an Immigrant and Mystic in the FBI.” His story is profoundly inspirational, his unique blend of hard work, perseverance, and mysticism in the face of relentless adversity, reminds us that our reservoirs of courage and determination run far deeper than we know—and that we should never give up on our dreams, no matter how out of reach they might seem. Review on Amazon  “On the TV show CHiPs, I played California Highway Patrol Officer Poncherello, a Latino hero. I can tell you right now that my friend Tony Arismendi is the real deal! He is an awesome, compassionate, spiritual, and courageous human being who conquered innumerable challenges and became an incredible FBI agent."

Learn how to become the person you really want to be I met Linda Vettrus-Nichols through her lovely husband Terry Earthwind Nichols, with whom I've done two podcasts. Here is our most recent one. Linda brings you a different perspective on how you can take control of your life and become the person you have always wanted to be. She talks about her own journey and how she got to where she is now, as a coach, as a person really into thought leadership, and as someone who inspires people to do what they might otherwise not have done (like write a book in 30 days). Linda's a really special person to hear from. Listen in! Watch and listen to our conversation here It's not so bad to really love others, and love yourself a little too Linda is the CEO of Evolutionary Healer, a global transformational performance improvement company which she co-founded with her husband Terry. She calls herself “the queen of clarity” and believes that at the end of the day, love and solid relationships are all that matter. As a spiritual thought leader and coach, she finds the gaps and corrals the chaos that keep powerful entrepreneurs stuck or stalled. In some ways, we do similar things. We both would like to help you see, feel and think in new ways. Linda is also the author of 21 books, one of which focuses on the practical action steps you need to publish your own book in a month or less. You can connect with her on LinkedIn, her personal website and the Evolutionary Healer website. Need a little help becoming who you really want to be? Here's a start Blog: 5 Ways You Can Find Happiness And Joy In These Turbulent Times Blog: Is It Time To Rethink Where You Are And Where You Are Going? Podcast: Women, Are You Ready To Find Your Happiness? Is It All Around You? Additional resources for you My award-winning second book: Rethink: Smashing The Myths of Women in Business My award-winning first book: On the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights Simon Associates Management Consultants    Read the transcript of our podcast here Andi Simon: Welcome to On the Brink with Andi Simon. Hi, I'm Andi Simon. And as you know, I'm your host and your guide. And people come from all across the globe to listen to us because we help them get off the brink, which is so much fun. You don't want to get stuck or stalled. And that's really very interesting because sometimes when we see things, we run the other way. We don't really go forward towards them. You need a little nudge, or a little hope, or some trust. So I go looking for interesting people who are trying to help you see things through that fresh lens. You begin to trust the fact that you can in fact change. I know your brain hates to change. But don't waste this crisis that we've gone through. It's time to rethink everything that you used to think was exactly the way we did it and now there are all kinds of new ways. You're not quite sure how we're going to go back because you're not going back. Now the question is, how do you go forward? And where is that? And how do you see what's new and uncertain when you all want certainty? And there is none. So today, I have Linda Vettrus-Nichols. And Linda came to me through Terry, who is her husband and her partner in a wonderful firm. Let me tell you a little bit about her. Then she'll tell you about how she got here because it's been a wonderful journey for her. She does some great things with people as a coach, as somebody who is really into their thought leadership. Somebody who helps you write books in 30 days. So Linda is the CEO of Evolutionary Healer, a global transformational performance improvement company. I'll say that, again. They are global. And it's a transformational performance improvement company that she co-founded with her husband, Embassy Ambassador Terry Earthwind Nichols. I've done two podcasts with Terry. And I've done two for him. Linda is “the queen of clarity.” And I love that title. She believes that fantasizing about the impossible is totally reasonable and striving for satisfaction is a must. And at the end of the day, love and solid relationships are all that matters. You know, we've learned a whole lot during this pandemic. And that is, you do only live once and it's not so bad to really love and love yourself a little too. She's a spiritual thought leader and coach who finds the gaps and corrals the chaos that keep powerful entrepreneurs stuck or stalled. So in some ways, we do similar things. And we'd like to help you see, feel and think in new ways. She's a published author of 21 books, and she has a book with the practical action steps you need to get your book done. And I have two books done. We're working on the third. It is a journey. Thank you for joining us today. Linda Vettrus-Nichols: Thank you. And oh, Andi, I just absolutely love your book Rethink: Smashing The Myths of Women in Business.  Andi Simon: I truly appreciate that. I'd love for you to share with the audience who is Linda? And what is your journey? Give them a sense of your story because I do think it's a wonderful rich one, and one that helps others begin to see their own selves in journey form. What's your journey? What's your story? Linda Vettrus-Nichols: My story is, I was in a marriage for 33 years. I call it a starter marriage and was just trying to keep my sanity and trying to figure it out and figure out what wasn't working and why. And at the end of the day, I found out it takes two people. And I didn't know, I just felt stuck. And now I teach that people aren't stuck. Not really, they just feel stuck. And for me what got me unstuck was to surround myself with a whole different group of people. And within that group, there was somebody who helped me with questions, kind of clarity questions on taking a look at leaving a marriage of that many years and coming up with answers to that question. So that was one sort of pivot for my life. And, then I met Terry and he had figured out a process to take people through. Much like Sigmund Freud, he was looking for interior discoveries, like breakthroughs to find that amnesia in memory from childhood. And so we worked on that together. We were in a coaching industry with that and going out speaking and things like that. And then Terry had heart surgery. And my coach was like, What do you want to do now, because he's out of commission for a while, and I had no idea what I really wanted to do. And so I guess that's probably how I started stepping into clarity and helping other people with their clarity. Andi Simon: So there was a catalytic moment where you were on your own for a moment, not alone. But on your own and as you discover that part of you was an emerging lesson in the next stage in your own journey, which was really quite interesting. So as you began to frame that, what was the problem you wanted to help other people solve or to solve for yourself? Because there's a combination. It's really a collaboration, not simply, I do this, you do that? It sounds like you are going through your transformation, and could help others do as well? How did you develop it? Is there a particular process you can share?  Linda Vettrus-Nichols: Well, I love people's stories, like you. And I was just talking to someone networking, and said, Oh, I love your story. I'd love to record it. And maybe use it in a summit or something. And she was like, Oh, yeah, either way, that's fine. So I did that. And then there were two more women that came along. So I recorded and then I started thinking, what are these women really saying to me, and they were telling me about a time that they were stuck in their lives. And I thought, I could do a summit on being stuck. And so I interviewed 14 women, ages 16 to 74. The 16-year-old was actually one of our clients who had been suffering from PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder, for about two months. So we were able to bring out her story that fit what we're doing in our business, and bring out what these other women were doing in their businesses. And then I just kind of kept rolling and kept interviewing people. I had so many interviews. I'm like, Wow, I could just have a summit a month, for eight months. Which I did. Then I asked 16 of the probably 60-some women I'd interviewed if they wanted to be in a compilation book. And so I got the transcriptions back, and they were in script format, like a play at school, and I thought, Oh, that's different. And I was going to put them into a sort of written form. And then it was like, they have a beautiful flow this way. I really hate to take away that beautiful flow. And so I told Terry, I'm just gonna leave them in script format. And I go, Who does that? And he goes, Nobody. There were two authors apiece from those 16 and we made up eight little books of their stories and named them after the different summits. So one is called Stuck. One is called Paradigm Shifters. It was more social media and that way. I ended up publishing nine books. So I kind of cheated. And so people aren't used to 21 books. How did you do that? My kids were really challenging. And so I hooked up with another person whose kid was super challenging. And we started helping parents. We were pulling kids out of biochemical autism, ADD, ADHD and learning disabilities. Now we're teaching parents, mostly moms, how to do that. And I was before you could like Google stuff, you know. So that was really a special time, way back when, that was my first book in 1998. And then, I suppose it was about 2016 when I started cranking out books. I started with nine.  Andi Simon: You know, the audience who's watching us today is scratching their heads and saying, How'd she do that? You know,  you can inspire people. You can push them. They'll run the other way and say, I can't do that. But in fact, part of this requires trust and courage, a bit of bravery. But part of it just requires a mindset that says, Of course we can, let's see how, and having a husband who's supportive is not inconsequential. But you also had a real good understanding of what was needed. Whether it was for those mothers, or for the others, and you sort of felt that they had an unmet need. You are really a Blue Ocean thinker.  Instead of putting the transcripts into a format of a font, there's something about your approach that's really fascinating to me. You see what is needed, and then you come up with an idea to really solve it. I have a hunch that that's been sort of the last period of time, since you left your last marriage into this one. What is so important now for you is the freedom to do this, the autonomy, the mastery, your purpose. Give the listeners some sense of how you've come to terms with who you are at this stage? And where is it going, because they want to have a role model. Because they all have great ideas, sometimes they're sitting there, and as you know, they don't blossom, and we want to help them be free. How about your thoughts? Linda Vettrus-Nichols: The transition of marriage was, even if you're in a really healthy relationship, and you're not just loved, you really feel loved and supported. It's not enough until you love yourself. And so that was one of the big shifts for me, is learning to love myself. The other thing is stepping into, for lack of better words, my zone of genius. What is it that I do that I am so good at, and I am not exhausted doing it. I could just do it 24/7, and not even burn out. So I have actually stepped into that in the whole book in 30 days process. And that I do free sessions. They're usually more like a clarity session, and whether someone thinks there's a book inside of them or not. And it's very powerful. The number one thing is, I get women out of their heads. I get them to slow down, to focus, to really embody. And that's my little process. So we just do like three belly breaths, like close your eyes. It's funny because when you do that, and you get your hand on your abdomen, all of sudden, you just really calm, you slow. And it makes people feel sane. And it's just been a really special process. It's just a free thing that I do for people, whether I'm networking with them, or they're a potential client or whatever. So that's, that's huge. And then I say, if it's a clarity thing, that's just like, okay, so if you can only do one, which one would it be? If it's more of, they haven't come to me with something specific, it's like, Okay, if there's only one thing you can let the rest of us know, like, you're poof, off the planet tomorrow, and you really, really want us to know it. It's not about yourself. Not about you, it's you wanting us to know what for us. What would that be, and then they give it to me. And then I get another one and another one. And I get three and then I go back to the first of the three and do it again three times. And I end up with nine things in a special order. And I always say, it came from their soul, you know. And that ends up being their book chapters and their message to the world in a specific order of importance to them. And it's easy for them to find their tribe, so to speak. Andi Simon: Well, but you know, easy is an interesting word always. People hate to change, the pain in the brain is real. Cortisol gets up there, your amygdala fights it. The second thing is that the amygdala doesn't like the unfamiliar. And it really wants things that are comfortable. Even if they're not answered. Your mind does exactly what it thinks you want it to do. And whether it's putting the hand on the belly or doing some mindfulness or a little meditation, you quiet down and you just take your brain into a quiet mind state where it feels really safe. Yesterday is gone, not much you can do about it and tomorrow hasn't happened. So for the present, you have this wonderful gift of just being, and then your process shows them what is possible. And the trust that comes from that is extremely powerful because they really don't know where they're going, do they. And that uncertainty makes people very uncomfortable. And slowly, the three turns into nine. And next thing, you know, it's time for us to write a book about us and a bit about what we want the world to know so it can be a better place. So as our audience is listening, think about yourself: what kinds of ideas do you have that you want, in some fashion, to turn into a legacy of some type? Do you find that people write more than one book, as you have? Linda Vettrus-Nichols: Well, my clients sure do. I really believe that everybody's full of all kinds of books. And like you, your clients, you won't even take them unless they're at "enough is enough." And so they just almost come to me pregnant with a book. It's like, I gotta get this thing out of me. I have no idea how to do it. Or I'm afraid to do it. I'm afraid if I tell whatever they're going to tell, somebody else will hate them for it or be mad. And yeah, there's a lot of drama trauma stories with my clients. What's even weirder is, I have clients who have done cookbooks with their drama trauma story. They're really powerful, cool books. But it's like, who does that?  Andi Simon: I'm working on my third book. And the gal I'm working with said, We really want to do a cookbook like this. I said, I like that idea. And I'm not sure what. God is in the kitchen, all's well in the world? But there's something about that cookbook model that pours out a whole different side of us, particularly as a woman, although the great chefs are all guys. There's a female side in there that's very nourishing, in many ways, and close to some interesting opportunities. Now, you're a person who doesn't stand still. What do you see coming next? Because I always say we never waste a crisis. Linda Vettrus-Nichols: I love that line of years. That's so cool. You've stepped into making a course. And I can't wait to take your course. It just totally fills the gap in my learning, if you will. So I've created three Thinkific courses. And then I started experimenting with clients and doing courses. Actually, a client came to me, she had already started one. And we took her book and put it into one and then I did mine. So that's been interesting. And what I've found is, even though we're using the material from the book, the course becomes its own thing. It becomes almost a whole new teaching. And if you haven't read the book, you're going to be okay and get through the course. If you have read the book, it reinforces the books. Another thing I enjoy doing is analyzing someone's website. That's what I absolutely love to do. Andi Simon: And it's interesting because we're in the process of redesigning our website, and I'm impressed with our guys, because they've been working with us for a long time. I've been doing this for 20 years. So we've had multiple websites and iterations. But, you know, it's an interesting time, to your point, because as we started to look at what we had been, and were no longer who we were, and I was aware we were going either/and it was all captured in a website of all things. And then I renovated my office two weeks ago, three weeks ago, and had to repaint it. But in the process, I took a lot of books that had been here for 20 years, taking down the bookshelves was a fascinating capture of life. Because the books that were important, aren't necessarily the ones that I want to hold onto. And I'm not quite sure what I'll be doing with future books and so many of them are on my iPad. But they are an interesting commentary on being an anthropologist. It's all a digital indication of the things that matter. And you almost want to make a record of who and why you were and what's coming in the way in which you're reading and the ideas. Warren Buffett said, Spend five hours a day reading. I'm not sure I can do that. But I try to read two books a week. And I love to read, I'm not a Netflix person, but I am a reader. And I find the ideas change your mind. You know, your mind rises, as you add new ideas into it, particularly on how to write a book, and how you convey the story. And it's a very interesting way of learning about things. But we're both changing. And as we look forward, people say to me, Well, I want to go back to the way it was. I say, It's never going to go back to the way it was. So it's time to create the future you like to have. They have so little in common with the folks who come to you to write their book. They're not quite sure of the future they want to have. But I tell them, Unless you visualize where you're going, you can't live today. You know, we're futurists. And so do you help folks in your coaching? I'm curious what you're seeing among your coaching clients and others about what they see coming? Can they visualize something new? As I'm coaching my clients, or doing my workshops for CEOs, they're stuck, many of them, and many of them are guys. And they knew how to run what they had. And they have no idea how to run what is now. And they're smart people, entrepreneurial, and frustrated, and they can't relate. And so I almost want to put their hands on their belly and say, take a deep breath or start again, you're in the startup phase. Linda Vettrus-Nichols: That's such a great point. And you probably know that my husband created the vision strategy roadmap. And so I use that with my clients as well. And it isn't sort of, just like magic, one time, let go of everything. And you know, it kind of comes up from the soul. It embodies all right there from your abdomen, your powers, and just let it come up. And what are you doing? Like, where are you and it's really interesting. If they tell me they want to speak from a stage, I just go into this intense drill down with them. Because that can mean so many things. And I really want them to get to who they really are. So if you were out in the center of the football stadium with people behind you, not a wall, would you be comfortable with that? And some people will write, Yeah, and other people, No, I wouldn't. If I go to the movie theater, I'd love to be in the back with the wall behind me. I like lots of neurological things. My background is special education. And I love all the brain stuff.  Andi Simon: Just to share some of our observations: I push them being who I am, as an anthropologist, I push them out to go exploring. I don't have a clue how to redesign your business without going out and listening. You don't have to do much more than listen to customers, are those whom you'd like them to be? And my workshops start off with, Who's going to be your customer tomorrow? What do they need? How are you going to be serving them? I did a podcast earlier about the customer experience now that has changed. Everyone wants things fast. And the customer service centers are having a difficult time. They're all 30%, short on staff. And they are trying to figure out how to adapt to a remote workforce. How to evaluate them, everything that was, isn't. But the new one isn't yet either. And so part of it is, How do I visualize what could be taken out a year or two, and then sort of backward plan to begin to set up a path to get there because in the absence, we don't know how to live today. And all the hormone perspective stuff that Martin Seligman has shown us from psychology, your human brain wants to see the future. And that's how it is now and if you don't see it, you make it up. So it's an interesting time for helping people see the opportunities of what comes, as opposed to flee them or fear them. And your amygdala would love to hijack them. So it's pretty cool stuff. And as you're working with these entrepreneurs who want to be on the stage, you might set up a stage and let them learn. It's just being up there and talking to people. Linda Vettrus-Nichols: Another big question I say is, Do you like having the lights in your face?  They may not know and have to go try it. Some of them just immediately go, No. So you want to see your audience? Well, yeah, I'm like, Okay, well, that just totally changes your venue. That totally changes the amount of people who are going to attend. Sometimes they can't quite come up with them themselves. So I start giving them some of those more concrete things. Andi Simon: They need you to ask those profound questions. So it's pretty cool. So I'm looking at our time, it's about time for us to wrap up. I like to ask my interviewees two or three things you don't want the listeners to forget. Are there some things you want to tell them because they remember the end better than our beginning. What do you want them to walk away with? And say, Oh, Linda really helped me with this. Thoughts? Linda Vettrus-Nichols: Just the idea that no one's ever really stuck. And words are just stories we tell ourselves. I know, you and I both like that. And, know who you are. So get in touch. Write your own story.  Andi Simon: Let's emphasize the stories a little bit. What we've learned is that maybe 45,000 or 50,000 years ago, or at some point, we had a quantum leap in our brain. And humans, because of that, are storymakers. We give meaning to things. And so a thing isn't a thing, it has some purpose or meaning, or it has some value. And out of that came the stories. The secret of our success is about how the stories in our culture have been the secret of our human success. And it changes our minds as we evolve. And it keeps this coevolution here, it's both the external and the internal transformation that's going on. And you are evolving, as Linda has and I have. We aren't the same folks. We started out as not that different from them, either. But there's been a transformation. And Linda works with people to help them see, feel and think in new ways, as I do. Because if you don't see it and feel it, you don't know what it is that we're talking about. And she's talking about people wanting to be on stage who don't realize they are gonna be lights in their eyes. We've got a little bit of good testing. Pretend you're in high school, and you're going to get on stage and see what it feels like because we decide with the heart and the eyes up ahead. And that follows. There's stories coming out of the pandemic, really big stories, and I'm anxious to see how we can compile them. As I'm listening to you, maybe there's a book here, about the post pandemic reality and how do we share it? Linda Vettrus-Nichols: Yeah, that'd be cool. And the idea of healthy detachment really comes from staying out of the story. So there's the flip there, too. We get so caught up in the story, and it's just a story. It's a story of time. So you had all this pain, flip the story. And that's what happened to me. I had a gymnastics accident, lost my balance, fell, and really jammed my shoulder and nobody could understand it. I went to an ortho biochemist, and she said, Tell me how that happened. Tell me the story about it. So I told her, and then she said, Now change the story. Flip the story. And I'm like, as if it didn't happen, you know, because I had the gymnastic accident and lost my dance career. A few months later, I lost my father to suicide. So there was a lot of trauma locked up in that shoulder. So I flipped the story. Terry was standing behind me, and all of a sudden, my shoulder blade just went clump. Literally, a sound of clunk. And he just went right in there. And took care of business, like no way to get under there before, but don't lose the power. Andi Simon: I don't mean to interrupt you because it's so exciting to talk to you. But we live the story in our minds. They aren't there, they're an illusion. They're not real. Linda Vettrus-Nichols: But they're also in our bodies, right? That's the thing. And when we change the story, it's just a story. When we change the story, the body doesn't know the difference. The body goes, Oh, okay. Is that the story? Great story. Oh, okay. Andi Simon: And I think this is just a great story to share with our audience about how to change because we don't want you on the brink anymore. We want you to soar. And I don't want you to jump out of an airplane without a parachute either. Nor do I want you to fly the airplane, you know, and build it at the same time. There's lots you can do here. And I love Linda's process for helping you express this. Turn it into a book and make it a reality, at least an illusion that turns into something. So it's great fun. Thanks for joining me today. This has been cool, thank you. It's fun. People always ask, Who's your audience. So I say to all of you out there who come, I've truly appreciate you. As you're thinking about yourself, send me your ideas at info@andisimon.com. I have people across the globe who send me their little notes, their ideas about who they'd like to hear from. It's great fun to share them. And it's a great time for you to rethink who you are, where you're going, and how you're going to get there. Sometimes you need a hand. And that's what we both do. Both Linda and myself have a great time helping you rethink your story. And when you begin to work through my program, Rethink Your Journey with Andi Simon, or hers, you begin to see that it's all in that story. And if you like the story, great, but if you don't, we can change it. I love Linda's story. She changed her story and her new shoulder didn't hurt. How does that happen? My books are available on Amazon: On the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights and Rethink: Smashing The Myths of Women in Business. We are delighted you come to enjoy, and share, and have a great day. Stay well. Thanks, Linda, thank you so much for coming today. And we'll say goodbye. Bye now.

His search for a renewed purpose began with a reluctant trip to a breathwork workshop and eventually turned into a decades-long journey of spiritual discovery, metaphysical experiences, and a devotion to the life-altering benefits of mindfulness and meditation.

The New York Times recently reported on various anti-PC thinkers as “the intellectual dark web”, sparking various annoying discussion. The first talking point – that the term is silly – is surely true. So is the second point – that it awkwardly combines careful and important thinkers like Eric Weinstein with awful demagogues like Ben Shapiro. So is the third – that people have been complaining about political correctness for decades, so anything that portrays this as a sudden revolt is ahistorical. There are probably more good points buried within the chaff. But I want to focus on one of the main arguments that’s been emphasized in pretty much every article: can a movement really claim it’s being silenced if it’s actually pretty popular? “Silenced” is the term a lot of these articles use, and it’s a good one. “Censored” awkwardly suggests government involvement, which nobody is claiming. “Silenced” just suggests that there’s a lot of social pressure on its members to shut up. But shutting up is of course is the exact opposite of what the people involved are doing – as the Timespoints out, several IDW members have audiences in the millions, monthly Patreon revenue in the five to six figures, and (with a big enough security detail) regular college speaking engagements. So, from New Statesman, If The “Intellectual Dark Web” Are Being Silenced, Why Do We Need To Keep Hearing About Them?: The main problem with the whole profile is that it struggles because of a fundamental inherent contradiction in its premise, which is that this group of renegades has been shunned but are also incredibly popular. Either they are persecuted victims standing outside of society or they are not. Joe Rogan “hosts one of the most popular podcasts in the country”, Ben Shapiro’s podcast “gets 15 million downloads a month”. Sam Harris “estimates that his Waking Up podcast gets one million listeners an episode”. Dave Rubin’s YouTube show has “more than 700,000 subscribers”, Jordan Peterson’s latest book is a bestseller on Amazon […] On that basis alone, should this piece have been written at all? The marketplace of ideas that these folk are always banging on about is working. They have found their audience, and are not only popular but raking it in via Patreon accounts and book deals and tours to sold-out venues. Why are they not content with that? They are not content with that because they want everybody to listen, and they do not want to be challenged. In the absence of that, they have made currency of the claim of being silenced, which is why we are in this ludicrous position where several people with columns in mainstream newspapers and publishing deals are going around with a loudhailer, bawling that we are not listening to them. Reason‘s article is better and makes a lot of good points, but it still emphasizes this same question, particularly in their subtitle: “The leading figures of the ‘Intellectual Dark Web’ are incredibly popular. So why do they still feel so aggrieved?”. From the piece: They can be found gracing high-profile cable-news shows, magazine opinion pages, and college speaking tours. They’ve racked up hundreds of thousands of followers. And yet the ragtag band of academics, journalists, and political pundits that make up the “Intellectual Dark Web” (IDW)—think of it as an Island of Misfit Ideologues—declare themselves, Trump-like, to be underdogs and outsiders. […] [I’m not convinced] they’re actually so taboo these days. As Weiss points out, this is a crowd that has built followings on new-media platforms like YouTube and Twitter rather than relying solely on legacy media, academic publishing, and other traditional routes to getting opinions heard. (There isn’t much that’s new about this except the media involved. Conservatives have long been building large audiences using outside-the-elite-media platforms such as talk radio, speaking tours, and blogs.) In doing so, they’ve amassed tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands of followers. What they are saying might not be embraced, or even endured, by legacy media institutions or certain social media precincts, but it’s certainly not out of tune with or heretical to many Americans. The bottom line is there’s no denying most of these people are very popular. Yet one of the few unifying threads among them is a feeling or posture of being marginalized, too taboo for liberal millennial snowflakes and the folks who cater to them. The basic argument – that you can’t be both silenced and popular at the same time – sounds plausible. But I want to make a couple points that examine it in more detail.

Are you prepared to commit at least 20 hours every week to launching your own Ecommerce business using Fulfilment by Amazon? On this week’s episode of Escape The Rat Race Radio I’m pleased to welcome Michael Veazey. He discovered the Amazon Private Label opportunity and loved the creativity of being an online entrepreneur, as well as the time freedom it gives once it’s up and running. Michael has always loved listening to intelligent “talk” radio (mostly Radio 4) and that expanded to include becoming very inspired by many great business podcasts and blogs over the last few years, like those by Tim Ferriss and Seth Godin. Although there are now many other good podcasts about selling on Amazon in the USA, they are all aimed at US based sellers. There seemed to be no podcast specifically for Sellers who live in the UK selling in the USA and/or in the UK. So, Michael decided to create it! In this interview, Michael suggests that Ecommerce is a good opportunity for anyone looking to generate an additional income stream to consider due to it’s rising trend over recent years, with absolutely no sign of things slowing up.   In this episode you’ll learn… Why Amazon FBA can present a great business opportunity, however you do need to be realistic about the amount of starting capital you will require to build a serious business, with £5000 being the minimum amount Michael recommends How Michael implements accountability into his mastermind groups to help his mentees take action towards achieving their Ecommerce goals Why you shouldn’t really consider launching an Ecommerce business alongside your day job unless you can dedicate at least 20 hours per week into managing and growing it The 3 Step Formula that Michael teaches to help brand new Amazon sellers get their first sales on Amazon The process you would need to follow in order to research your chosen products and order samples from Chinese suppliers Why it can be advantageous to dig deeper into a niche once you have discovered what’s working, rather than go broad How Michael’s desire to be on radio led him to launching the Amazing FBA podcast and how he quickly recorded his first episodes What the term ‘retail arbitrage’ means and how you can use this to start selling on Amazon very quickly Quotes: ‘You can’t just throw a private label on a mediocre product and expect to sell it.’ ‘Fear can be telling you useful things, and other times it can just be blocking you’ ‘Part of what you need to spend time, money and effort on is exploring different business models thoroughly.’   Links & Resources mentioned in this episode: Amazon FBA 2 Hour Taster Session - Tuesday 10th April 2018 Amazon FBA 1 Day Training Course with Michael Veazey in London - Saturday 21st April 2018   Guest Details: Amazing FBA - Official Website Amazing FBA Podcast on iTunes Michael Veazey Linkedin Profile Amazing FBA Facebook Group   Connect with Escape The Rat Race...within 12 months: Official Website Private Facebook Group

With nearly 50% of all e-commerce sales occurring on Amazon, many crowdfunders are asking the question, “how can I take my product and sell on Amazon?” On this episode of Crowdfunding Uncut, Khierstyn has a conversation with Ben Arneberg, founder of Product Fuel and creator of crowdfunding giants Willow & Everett and Terra Mat. Ben shares his top tips for crowdfunders looking to move into the e-commerce space after a successful campaign, how to rank highly within Amazon’s categories, and many more trade secrets that you don’t want to miss. Be sure to listen to this episode - your product will thank you. Crowdfunding platforms and Amazon are delicate partners - here’s how Product Fuel makes it work Turning a successful crowdfunding campaign into an equally successful brand online is hard work. That’s why Ben created Product Fuel - to help entrepreneurs move their products from crowdsourcing platforms into digital marketplaces. While it may be easy to list products on Amazon, it’s extremely difficult to allow that product hit its full potential. Product Fuel has successfully taken campaigns such as Wilcox Boots that earned over $140,000 through Kickstarter and helped them bring in over $80,000 monthly Amazon sales. When a campaign is nearly complete, Ben and his team will begin conversations with the client to determine product flows and shipping methods. This allows both parties to fully understand the desired outcome for the product and make a game plan that is tailored to each product, target audience, and sales goals. To hear how to get your product on Ben and Product Fuel’s radar, be sure to listen to this episode. The art of combining a crowdfunding campaign, a stellar website, and selling on Amazon Product Fuel attracts clients who already have a successful crowdfunding campaign in progress. Ben encourages aspiring creators to go to a crowdsourcing platform first, rather than trying to launch solely on a website or directly to Amazon. There’s a trifecta that leads to the most success: a successful crowdfunding campaign, an interactive website, and ranking highly on Amazon (leading to more sales.) The campaign is the first integral piece in the process - aside from having an innovative product that fills a market gap. Campaigns create “an amazing halo effect” as Ben explained, and when harnessed properly the momentum drives organic traffic to Amazon and pushes your rankings higher. Without all three of these pieces, your efforts will be much more difficult. For Ben’s full explanation on this cohesive approach, be sure to listen to this episode of Crowdfunding Uncut. Why accurate keywords and appropriate pricing is key for Amazon success To explain the importance of great keywords and appropriate pricing, Ben uses a hypothetical coffee mug scenario. Even if you have a stellar coffee mug that sells well for $50 on your website, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will sell well on Amazon. When compared to $7 competitor mugs, if your $50 mug only has a 5% conversion rate on Amazon, it will be pushed down in the rankings and be seen by very few customers. This is the point of critical balance - your product needs to be priced accordingly to not be immediately written off by the client, and it needs to be matched with the right keywords and categories. Product Fuel can help you with this process. For all of the insights on Amazon success, don’t miss this conversation with Khierstyn and Ben. Ben’s best advice for achieving success selling crowdfunding products on Amazon In addition to all of the selling strategies Ben discusses on this episode of Crowdfunding Uncut, he encourages crowdfunders to always communicate with a campaign’s backers. You want to avoid launching on your website or on Amazon before your most loyal supporters receive their product. You can also use this window of time for feedback - see what your backers like and dislike about the physical product and then make slight adjustments before releasing it to the general public. He and Khierstyn also discuss the importance of always fulfilling sales through Amazon and why you should stay away from Amazon Launchpad.

On this episode, Scott shares his thought of the week about persisting to get what you want and of course, he tackles answers to questions on topics like which ecommerce shop platform you should use to expand your business, how to handle seller feedback, what drives a product listing, and much more! You don’t want to miss a minute of this informative and helpful episode! Do you really want success bad enough? Let’s face it, sometimes this journey of building an ecommerce business can get you down in the dumps. What do you do when that happens? How do you recover from losing steam? On this episode of The Amazing Seller, Scott opens up about an example from his week that made him remember why he’s on this journey for the long haul. Scott shares that his new brand ran into some hurdles this week and it really kind of sunk his attitude until he realized, when interacting with his daughter, that the key to succeeding is to keep persisting toward your goal. Does that resonate with you? Listen to this episode to hear the full story and more helpful insights from Scott! Expanding your business and using different ecommerce platforms. What is the best way to expand your ecommerce business beyond your Amazon product listing? Are you really ready to take that next step or are you just trying to do something different than Amazon? On this episode of The Amazing Seller, Scott shares his thoughts on using ecommerce platforms like Shopify to expand your brand reach. While Scott doesn’t come right out and say that this is a bad idea, he encourages sellers like you to focus on leveraging Amazon as much as possible before you decide to expand your business to other platforms. Much of Scott’s thinking comes from the fact that Amazon has everything built in so you don’t have to divide your time and energy among several different fronts. To hear more about this topic from Scott, make sure to listen to this episode! The best way to handle feedback on your seller account. As many of you know, you will sometimes run into negative comments and reviews of your product on your Amazon product listing. But what do you do when you see that type of feedback show up on your seller account? On this episode of The Amazing Seller, Scott explains how to respond when you run into this issue. While the easiest solution is to report it to Amazon, who will then remove the feedback if it has to do with the product, you might want to consider reaching out to the person who left it in the first place.

Welcome to this episode of The Amazing Seller Podcast. You’ve landed on the Friday version which an “Ask Scott” episode. This is where Scott Voelker fields your questions relating to Amazon private label sales and answers them for you. On this episode Scott is addressing questions about keywords and product rankings (and gives tons of resources on that one), whether potentially great products should be pursued if the competition for sales is high, how to do market research effectively, and the best margins for an Amazon private label product.   Why you need to focus your efforts on a more specific niche of products.   You may find a product that looks like a great possibility for sales but the general category is filled with competition and lots of product reviews. But you’ll find that the competition will thin out when you’re able to provide a product within that area that is more specific and specialized. A differentiated product will always enable you to have a better opportunity for good sales on Amazon and will make it more difficult for others to copy the exact thing you are doing. Find out more on this episode.     The best approach for choosing keywords to rank your private label products.   Keywords are one of the most important parts of private label sales on Amazon. If you don't choose the right keywords you will have a very hard time making sales. So how do you go about finding those keywords? Scott was asked that very question on this episode of the podcast and goes into great detail about the resources you can use and the websites that are available to help you discover the best keywords for your specific product. If you don't listen to any other part of this episode you will want to hear of this one. It is worth gold.   The best margins for private label sales.   When considering a product to sell on Amazon you want to make sure that you're going to have an adequate margin of profit to make the selection, purchase, shipping, and sales of the product actually worthwhile for you. Naturally, you want the margin to be as high as it can be, but what is an acceptable margin given all the fees and shipping costs that are involved in selling a private label product on Amazon? On this episode of a podcast Scott walks through his thoughts regarding the margins that are acceptable for him and what he shooting for with every product that he sells.   There are lots of different keyword fields in the Amazon backend. Which ones do I use?   When you begin to fill out all of the fields on the back end of a product listing in Amazon, you'll discover there are many of them that you may not understand or do not know what they are for. On this episode a listener ask Scott about the various keyword fields and how they should be completed. Scott gives a very good answer regarding the use of those fields and make some suggestions on how you can find keywords to place in them that will be effective for the search functions on Amazon. You won't want to miss this one.   OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF THE AMAZING SELLER   [0:03] Scott’s introduction to the podcast! [0:29] How to submit your questions!
