HAPPINESS IS NOT THE POINTI don't think happiness or unhappiness is the point. How do we meet the problems we face? How do we best learn from them and transmit what we have learned to others, if they would receive the knowledge?AS BILL SEES IT, p. 306In my search "to be happy," I changed jobs, married and divorced, took geographical cures, and ran myself into debt—financially, emotionally and spiritually. In A.A., I'm learning to grow up. Instead of demanding that people, places and things make me happy, I can ask God for self-acceptance. When a problem overwhelms me, A.A.'s Twelve Steps will help me grow through the pain. The knowledge I gain can be a gift to others who suffer with the same problem. As Bill said, "When pain comes, we are expected to learn from it willingly, and help others to learn. When happiness comes, we accept it as a gift, and thank God for it."

Bill Slawski talks with Jason Barnard about knowledge panels Bill Slawski is the Director of Search Marketing for Go Fish Digital and the editor of SEO by the Sea. He has been doing SEO since 1996, and is regarded as a teacher and mentor to the SEO community - educating on both core and complex SEO principles. Google created the Knowledge Graph back in 2012, and as it started to focus on indexing “things” instead of “strings” - the world of SEO has not been quite the same again. As Bill explains: “strings to things, where it is not so much about matching keywords, but instead, about answering questions involving things”. This was a fascinating and insightful episode where Jason Barnard and Bill Slawski discuss in depth the Knowledge Graph, knowledge panels, and entities in search. Bill also touches on the concept of “Teachable Moments” - a fascinating concept that ties in with the Zero-click searches Rand Fishkin talks about. We will certainly hear more about in the coming months (and years). How does the Knowledge Graph confidence score work? How does Google ‘learn’? WHat purpose do knowledge panels serve? What triggers a Knowledge Panel?  You'll find out all about that and much more!

Learn an important key to growing your business! As a corporate anthropologist who works with organizations that need or want to change, it was truly a pleasure to bring Bill Flynn onto our show. We talked about all the things you need to develop to thrive in these fast-changing times. As Bill tells us, thousands of businesses are started every day. Most die, a few thrive and the rest struggle to survive — mainly through enormous effort, force of will and luck. There is a better way to take the guesswork out of growth: focusing on the few areas that make all the difference. Listen in!   Watch and listen to our podcast The time to change is really now!   In this podcast, Bill and I discuss:  Are we trying to manage change in all the wrong ways? Is that why change management often doesn’t work? Are we doing our talent development correctly? Is it working? How about “feedback?” Is it backfiring? Instead of inspiring people to do better, is it driving people to flee or fear you? What about early stage businesses? Is yours one that will burst through and soar or flip/flop until you fail?  Meet Bill Flynn  With more than 30 years' experience working for and advising hundreds of companies in a variety of market segments including speech recognition, e-commerce and affiliate marketing, Bill Flynn pivoted and is now a business growth coach. Before that, he oversaw five successful outcomes, two IPOs and seven acquisitions, including a successful turnaround during the 2008 financial crisis.   As a multi-certified growth coach, Bill is a Certified Predictive Index Partner, author and international speaker. He has a Certificate with Distinction in the Foundations of NeuroLeadership and a best-selling book, "Further, Faster: The Vital Few Steps that Take the Guesswork Out of Growth." His company, Catalyst Growth Advisors, helps leaders take the guesswork out of growth by helping them confidently predicting the future.

Bill von Hippel, PhD is an evolutionary psychologist from Alaska who has lived in Australia for more than 20 years. Bill teaches at the University of Queensland and his body of research is so wide we struggled to focus our conversation. We spoke with him about his research into the ways in which our species’ behaviors have evolved over millions of years into the behaviors we see in our present-day lives. His insights are clever, thoughtful, and thought-provoking. We talked about reciprocity, collectivism, and most importantly, how being cooperative and social propelled our species forward well beyond anything else in the animal kingdom. We discussed Bill’s latest book, “The Social Leap.” It’s a groundbreaking thesis that applies evolutionary science to help us understand how major challenges from our past have shaped some of the most fundamental aspects of our being. One of the book’s key lessons is for us to remember that it is our collaboration, our collective abilities as a species, that sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. This unique capability for humans to cooperate is an important reminder these days and Bill articulated the evolution of collaboration and competition in memorable terms. We talked about the futility of not trusting your friends and the likely risk of getting lots of false positives from motivated thinking. And we discussed how social context matters when it comes to happiness. Bill explained how we choose our contexts wisely, and we do so to compare ourselves favorably to those around us. In this way, we tend to avoid comparisons with those we wouldn’t compare well to. Lastly, Bill shared an evolutionary perspective that really struck us. He noted that, as we age, we are likely to increase our reliance on stereotypes and that can lead to prejudice. As Bill suggested, to stop ourselves from this unnecessary psychological deterioration, we should slow down our judgments and ask if we’re feeling this way because of that person’s group membership or gender or whatever. Stop, pause, and give it some consideration. Bill was recommended to us by Roy Baumeister and we’re grateful for the introduction as well as Bill’s generous conversation. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Bill and that you go out and find your groove this week. © 2020 Behavioral Grooves   Links Bill Von Hippel, PhD: https://psychology.uq.edu.au/profile/3034/bill-von-hippel University of Queensland: https://www.uq.edu.au/ “The Social Leap”: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-social-leap-william-von-hippel?variant=32207123873826 Peter Singer, PhD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Singer Homo Erectus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_erectus Michael Tomasello, PhD: https://psychandneuro.duke.edu/people/michael-tomasello Seth Stephens-Davidowitz “Everybody Lies”: http://sethsd.com/everybodylies Dan Ariely on comparison: https://theconversation.com/the-decoy-effect-how-you-are-influenced-to-choose-without-really-knowing-it-111259 Ed Diener on “Wealth and happiness across the world”: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20565185/ Embouchure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embouchure#:~:text=Embouchure%20(English%3A%20%2F%CB%88%C9%92,mouthpiece%20of%20a%20brass%20instrument.   Musical Links Lynyrd Skynyrd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxIWDmmqZzY Boston: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc78RnDRQ_4 Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_DKWlrA24k Mozart: Sonata in C, K. 545, Allegro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xeAsc6m35w Keith Moon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5Up-qHTJdY Rush “Tom Sawyer”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrhnhXHVSQg Neal Peart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWRMOJQDiLU Max Weinberg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zylXeuWPk9o Led Zeppelin “Stairway to Heaven”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbhCPt6PZIU Bob Dylan “Like a Rolling Stone”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xz7WfVYxok Al Kooper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZGN7T70rgY Max Weinberg Experience: https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/ct-ott-max-weinberg-springsteen-0413-story.html

Great Gig if you can get it: Lehman Brothers in their bankruptcy (BK) here in 2020--yes 2020--is having to respond to a proof of claim (POC) which has been filed in the Lehman BK by Nationstar, along with a stipulation which effectively confirms the POC, to the effect that Nationstar is affirmed to have a right to collect from the debt originator Lehman on the same mortgage debt which in a typical scenario they would be restricted from collecting solely from the Individual Borrower--in other words the bulk of the listeners to the Neil Garfield Show. As Bill will discuss, the Obligation under the Note section of the POC at issue here states that: "The Note Holder may enforce its rights under this Note against each person individually or against all of us together. This means that any one of us may be required to pay all the amounts owed under this Note." Then on the Show today Charles Marshall will drill down into the latest Covid-19 impacts to civil legal procedure, foreclosure auctions, and unlawful detainer cases, including addressing foreclosure and eviction moratoriums.  

In this episode, I talk about eating bugs with Bill Broadbent, Founder & President of Entosense, a retailer and wholesaler of edible insects and insect-based foods, whose products can be found in retail stores, bars and restaurants. During our conversation, Bill discusses the market for edible insects, the many nutritional benefits they have, and how great they are from a sustainability standpoint. We also cover how they are being merchandised in stores and included as ingredients on menus. And while the idea of bugs as food may be icky to some people, they do have a built-in viral marketing component to them. As Bill says in the interview: "No one eats a scorpion and doesn't tell everybody they know about it." This is a fast-growing segment with a lot of potential, particularly among Millennials and younger generations, and Bill delivers a wealth of insights on the topic.

Episode 17 of the Legal Tech StartUp Focus Podcast -- Interview with Bill Henderson, Law Professor, Editor of Legal Evolution and Interim Director of Development, IFLP In this, one of the most wide-ranging episodes of the Legal Tech StartUp Focus Podcast (www.legaltechstartupfocus.com/podcast), Charlie Uniman welcomes Bill Henderson. Bill is a law professor at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law, editor of the online publication, Legal Evolution (www.legalevolution.org) and Interim Director of the Institute for the non-profit Future of Law Practice (IFLIP) (www.futurelawpractice.org). Charlie and Bill kick off the podcast with Bill describing his interesting journey from college to law school to a law professorship (interesting, especially, because of Bill's spending over a decade between starting and finishing college as a fireman and EMT in the Cleveland area). Next, Bill discusses IFLP's mission, which consists principally on offering online and real-life boot camps (for law students and mid-career professionals) and working internships (at law firms and legal departments) that aim to "equip lawyers with the knowledge and skills that are essential in modern legal practice." In this regard, Bill talks about educating so-called "T-shaped" lawyers who can supplement legal (doctrinal) knowledge and skills with skills that involve technology, design, business decision-making, data analytics and project management. Bill also describes how the traditional "one-to-one consultative" aspects of law practice have involved to include a more "one-to-many" way of practicing law. We learn from Bill about IFLP's ambition to take its programs to a much larger scale than they operate at currently and IFLP's efforts to raise the funds necessary to achieve that scale. Given Bill's role as a law professor, Bill and Charlie turn next to legal education and consider what have been both the accelerators and the retardants of change in how law students are taught in most US law schools. Bill distinguishes how so-called "top tier" law schools can persist in avoiding, to a greater degree perhaps than other law schools, classroom teaching in areas that, while outside the area of traditional doctrinal learning, can have a positive impact on a law student's readiness to practice law upon leaving school for a law firm or an in-house legal department. Bill draws a distinction between (i) on the one hand, the AmLaw top 150 law firms that hire predominantly from the top-tier schools to do clients' "bet the company" lawyering and (ii) on the other hand, in-house legal departments and the remainder of the law firms in the US that handle more day-to-day, but vital, operational client work. With this distinction in mind, Bill calls out the day-to-day work as a "contested area," where an client desire for efficiency and, therefore, cost-effectiveness allow in-house counsel and law firms outside the AmLaw 150 to battle successfully with the upper-echelon firms in garnering legal work and, thereby, to increase hiring demand for law students trained in disciplines that enhance efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Finally, Bill delves deeply into what impedes the adoption of innovative approaches to law practice at so many law firms (and even in-house legal departments) both inside and outside the US. Bill and Charlie talk about cultural and financial barriers to innovation and discuss the impact of exogenous factors (like the worldwide financial crisis that began around 2008 and the worldwide COVID crisis) that can act as forcing functions for the adoption of innovations in the practice of law and the business of delivering legal services. As Bill, quoting a friend, puts it: "necessity [in the form of exogenous factors] is not only the mother of invention, it's also the mother of adoption."

This is a different kind of episode. You can’t see this movie yet, well at least not with some difficulty. This is a feature that I saw at the Portland Horror Film Festival, and it was by far my favorite. This will be available for streaming probably at the end of the year. It’s making the festival run right now, so if you can catch it at one, definitely do. Here is the Trailer. Dustin Goebel, the man, the myth, the @dgoebel00 on intstagram made this.

In a tragic car accident, Bill’s wife Jan is decapitated and he rushes to save her head with science! While Jan’s disembodied head begs to die, Bill and his lab assistant Kurt search far and wide for the perfect replacement body for his wife. Preferably one with big ol titties. UP TOP! Review of The Brain That Wouldn't Die (2020) The Brain that Wouldn’t Die is a loving remake to the 1962 film of the same name. You might recognise it from Mystery Science Theater 3000, when they lambasted the original reanimated head-on-a-table film.  The Original on MST3K This film is surprisingly faithful to the original with a lot of the original dialogue, but with a distinctly more humorous tone. It’s in the realm of B-Movie homage comedy/horror films like Re-Animator and Young Frankenstein. That may sound like hyperbole, but this film is very similar to those two, and really funny. Most impressive is how well they pulled off this film with an estimated $80,000 budget. To give you a sense of how little that is, the original that was actually filmed in 1959 had a budget of an estimated $62,000, which would be over half of a million in 2020 dollars. The Brain That Wouldn't Die (2020) Poster The lead played by Patrick Green is pitch perfect, and the acting from the rest of the cast really sells the serious, but not serious tone of the movie. Score 8/10 MST3K The Brain That Wouldn't DieSince you can't watch this version, let the MST3k episode tide you over.Buy/Stream Now Final Recommendation Definitely go see it if you can. If you are a fan of Mel Brooks style humor, this is well worth your time to seek out. Look for it at film festivals near you, and on streaming services later this year. Spoilers Expand for Spoilers It's kind of silly to care about spoilers on a remake of a 60 year old movie, but here are some points of discussion that we had on the episode. The opening black and white credits are copied from the original film. This is underscored by the original music. This really sets the stage for a 50s-60s B-Movie experience The tone of the film is established right out of the gate. The acting is intentional overacting, and sight-gags start immediately. As Bill is performing a surgery in the opening scene, a comical amount of perfectly timed blood sprays directly into his eyes. The next sight gag, which is a favorite of the writer producer Hank Huffman, is the two doctors ripping off their scrubs to reveal full suits and ties underneath. A lot of the dialogue is taken directly from the original movie. Even seemingly comedic lines like "our baby isn't going to be a test tube baby" is in the original. Some of my favorite lines are: The response to "let me die" is "we should do as she asks""I am the only man in the world capable of reviving a human head.""She's been decapitated", "What!?", "it means beheaded""never mind her, she's recovering from a brain injury."

Today’s show is the second part of a two-part interview with Bill Schuffenhauer. As we concluded last week’s interview with Bill Schuffenhauer, we ended on a high note. An Olympic athlete with a silver medal, Bill was on top of the world. With all his accomplishments, the biggest challenges of his life still laid ahead of him. In today’s episode, we learn about the eight chaotic years following his Olympic career, fueled by depression, substance abuse, and toxic relationships. Bill only recently started speaking publicly about this part of his story, as he believes it’s a story that needs to be shared.As Bill hurtled closer and closer to rock bottom, his life fell apart in every imaginable way. He found himself facing two options: continue on his path to destruction. Or take 100% accountability, and transform himself and his life. Thankfully, he chose the latter, and he lives to share how he made it to the other side. As Bill shares his emotional journey and struggle with Dr. Fred, you’ll hear about:The effects of losing his identity as an Olympic athleteThe role a dangerous cocktail of substances played in deepening Bill’s depressionGoing from one of the highest mindsets in the world as an athlete, to one of the lowestBill’s near-fatal suicide attemptHow he abandoned his “victim mindset” and went from a life by default to living a life by designWhy Bill believes his life as Olympian pales in comparison to the life he leads todayAlignment in what we think, say, and do as a source of powerThe critical role of mentors and coaches in Bill’s post-Olympic career Episode Length: 0:57:37 BILL SCHUFFENHAUER’S RESOURCESBill’s Website > Olympian SpeaksDocumentary > Against All Odds - The Bill Schuffenhauer StoryBill's Non-Profit > http://thepowerinyou.meAlso Mentioned On Today’s Show >Chad Lefevre (Bill's mentor) - https://www.themostimportantconversations.com  WELCOME TO HUMANITY RESOURCES Podcast Website >  www.welcometohumanity.net/podcastFREE AUDIOBOOK - Creative 8 > www.welcometohumanity.net/creativePURCHASE THE BOOK (paperback or Kindle) > Creative 8: Healing Through Creativity & Self-Expression by Dr. Fred Moss www.amazon.com/Creative-Healing-Through-Creativity-Self-Expression/dp/B088N7YVMG FEEDBACK  > welcometohumanity.net/contact

I love a good serendipity story, and this is one of my favorites! Bill and my brother were both 20 minutes early, waiting for a store to open in San Francisco; they started chatting, talking about business and books — and next thing I know, I got a text saying that Bill and I had to meet. This is our first conversation, and I was riveted! Bishop William Swing is doing incredible work in the world — he is on a mission to build bridges between people and religions; helping people of (what seem to be) competing religious loyalties to discover each other and work together. The 20th anniversary of his organization, the United Religions Initiative, is in June, and he has over 1 million participants in over 1,000 interfaith cooperation circles. As Bill says, "If you’re really committed and you’re on the right track, the right person shows up at just the right time.” This mindset, and saying yes at every open door, led to meetings with the Pope, Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama, and many other religious leaders in his efforts to create the United Nations of religions. Happy Earth Day! I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did :) View full show notes from this episode at http://pivotmethod.com/195 What’s on your mind?

The gang celebrates the end of the year by taking another break to play Fiasco, a crime/noir storytelling game by Bully Pit Games. Here is the conclusion of our two part episode.   Business in the Blue Label Diner was picking up, and Bill Larsen was all action; balancing plates, refilling coffee, and distributing orders with a speed that belied his aging body. All the while, he never ceased telling his narrative of the town’s recent history to the woman from out of town who was still sitting in that same seat at the counter. It was as though the act of relaying this history was somehow feeding him an otherworldly energy. “So I know that a lot people from outside uh’ our town might not really get it… But ya see Mr. Cromwell brought somethin’ important to this town. The Hub brought more than just jobs, it brought a purpose. It made this town important, put us on the map. And sure, we don’t really go outside at night all that much anymore…” he looked out his window at the thick smoke which now pushed heavily against his diner like a layer of dense billowy cotton, “but my business has been doin’ better than its ever done, and I don’t think you’ll find another person in town who’ll tell ya any differently. Things…. things are good now in Paradise Falls.” Bill picked up the carafe of coffee and made his way back to the woman sitting at the counter . As he poured her another cup, he glanced down at her notebook. It still sat on the counter, untouched; its blank white pages glaring back at him. For the better part of an hour she had sat silently, not writing down a thing; her face gradually contorting into a scowl of thinly repressed rage. That energetic confidence that had fueled him left him in an instance. His back once again twinged in pain. “Now I’m sorry but that’s all I know about what Mr. Cromwell has been doin’ around these parts. I think Sophie Bryant might have heard something about….” “I don’t care what Cornelius Cromwell did or did not do Mr. Larsen.” The woman tilted her head to look directly into his eyes with a piercing glaze, “What I want to know are the whereabouts of Miss Tully and her relationship to Agent Cooper.” Bill looked perplexed, “Agent who now?” The woman stood up from her stool at the counter and stared him down. Bill crumpled, some of the coffee spilling out of the carafe which he still held clenched in his right hand. “Mr. Larsen, where is Miss Tully?” The diner went silent, all eyes turned to look at Bill and this strange woman from out of town. As Bill shrank away he sheepishly asked “Now… now which… which paper are ya workin’ for?” “I’m not.” The woman threw down a badge with the words ‘Bounty Hunter’ in large thick typeface onto the counter. “Now, what do you know about the whereabouts of Miss Theresa Tully?” "Paradise Falling" is a surreal tale of paranoia, failure, and cold hard capitalism.   "Andreas Theme" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)  Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

More available, with optimized service capabilities that enhance the customer experience and more efficient, with tools that enable you to achieve your customer experience objectives. Devon:                                 00:31                     Next up we have our diamond partner panel, so I'd like to welcome to the stage our Diebold Nixdorf evangelist, Scott Anderson. We're going to have our partner friends, Shai Stern from CheckAlt, Vanessa Foden from Intel, from KICTeam we have Ken Peterson and we have Steve Gilde from Paragon and Bill Stutzman from Ventis. Welcome to the stage everybody, thank you for joining us. Devon                                   01:09                     Awesome. Scott Anderson:               01:14                     Thanks everybody. We are between you and alcohol. I do apologize. And we all convinced in the back and we said "You know what? The modern tool that we would like right now is alcohol to help us with this next task", but we'll get you there soon. It's my distinct pleasure to welcome this panel. A group of panelists up on stage today to share with you a little bit about their organizations and talk about how Built To Connect and Built For More actually means more than just an ATM and solutions. Really, to run a banking environment, it takes a community, just like raising a child takes a community. And we have a community of people up here who really have a passion for our business and who help really transform the banking industry along with Diebold Nixdorf's partners and we're really proud to have them up here. So, I want a quick round of applause to welcome these folks up here. Thank you very much. Scott Anderson:               02:06                     And while Devin gave us a quick introduction of these individuals by name, I'd love them to take a couple of moments and introduce themselves more personally and share with you who they are and what they do. Let's start with you, Shai. Shai Stern:                          02:15                     My name is Shai Stern and I'm the CEO of CheckAlt. I do not have a phone on my desk, I run my company on WhatsApp voice notes and I do have my emails printed out. Vanessa Foden:                02:28                     I'm Vanessa Foden. I'm with Intel corporation as you noted, and I'm the director of strategic planning for our retail banking, hospitality and education group. I don't print my emails, but I did print some outdated notes for the show. Ken Pedersen:                  02:46                     Ken Pedersen from KICTeam and for those who don't know what KICTeam does, we manufacture and design cleaning products for currency, print and payment technology, so ATMs, POS terminals, check scanners, TCRs and... Yeah, thank you. Steve Gilde:                       03:02                     Steve Gilde from Paragon Application Systems. We're all about testing the payment systems. I will say that I could not have predicted that Ben ran 30 minutes over. Who knew that that future was going to happen, but happy to be here. Devon                                   03:15                     Excellent. Bill Stutzman:                     03:16                     Hi, I'm Bill Stutzman from Ventis. Ventis is a networking company. We work with making sure that you're ATMs are up and running, so that your customers are happy. Scott Anderson:               03:25                     Fantastic. Thank you very much for introducing yourselves. I think what we wanted to do today is really focused on all of the cerebral thinking we've been hearing about today. [what rounds 00:00:03:34] the Built to Connect and Built For More, but hone in a little bit on what does that mean and how do the individuals at this panel contribute to that and really make a difference in our overall industry as we go forward. This is a great opportunity for us to have some open conversation. We actually agreed that we don't have to always sit in our chairs, we can get up and kick each other if we don't agree, whatever the case may be. But what I'd like to do is, maybe tee up some questions to the individuals to get things started and of course we'd love to open it up to the audience and get some feedback from you and some direct questions as well. So, let's start with personalization. More personalized. Vanessa, let's start with yourself. What's Intel's point of view on personalization in this industry? Vanessa Foden:                04:14                     Yeah, so let me start with, as noted, we're a retail banking, hospitality and education. So, we have the pleasure to see a connection point with use cases across these different sectors. And for retail for example, what we have seen is... And heard and everyone in this room has probably heard is, "Oh, stores are closing into retail as we know it, et cetera, et cetera". And really, what we've found is, that there's opportunity there and yes, there are definitely retailers that are not growing. But then there's the some that are going to different size format and then there's a few that haven't innovated and we know who those are. And yes, some of them are no longer with us. So, when we think about this with branches, we know that there are some shrink happening at the branch that could be in the actual space of the branch or closures. Vanessa Foden:                05:13                     So, [Octavio 00:05:14] was talking this morning about 9.000 closures branches in the last five years. Now again, there's opportunity there, because there's different size formats and different technologies and ways to bring in our customers, because it's not just about one solution. And so, what we're really seeing, is opportunity. There is over a billion branches worldwide. So there is still that personal connection with the technology. So, the physical with the digital and that's the way we really need to think about it. And in the sessions today, which I really enjoyed them all, someone asked for a vote, I thought the two I went to are both great and very different. So I couldn't say one was better the other. But, it was very consistent in the message of opportunity and what's available to us in these use cases. So, it's really about understanding from the customer's standpoint, when they walk into your branch, how do they feel? Vanessa Foden:                06:14                     Are they employees trained? Do they know how to engage with these customers? And on the flip side, digital. How do we know what our customers want? So, we're always thinking about what are our customers want? When do they want it, and what location should it be? And on and on and on. Right? So we apply that logic within our team to how is that relevant? Whether it is an Interactive Teller Machine, an Automated Teller Machine, a Virtual Teller Machine, POS system, et cetera. So that's how we really look at those use cases and try to apply it to make it personal, whether physical or digital. Scott Anderson:               06:53                     Interesting. Steve, I'm going to challenge you a little bit. So, Paragon Systems and Testing, how would that bridge into the personalized world? Steve Gilde:                       07:01                     Sure. So, we heard this morning a lot about the customizable capabilities that the new DN Series will give to... That Diebold customers will have a chance to give to their consumers, right? You can do all sorts of interesting things, but the last thing you want to do is come up with an exciting new program, a new card, a new something for your high-net-worth customers and then have it fail when it gets in their hands. And being that we engage a lot on the testing side of the equation with customers, we hear a lot "Oh well, we couldn't test that with our host, because of this reason". Or "We forgot to test that because we ran out of time" and they wind up with a negative customer experience. And today, in the YouTube world, it becomes a very public brand damaging issue right away. So, with all the stuff that we talk about, all the changes and all the difficulty in projecting what consumers are going to want... We know they're going to want something, right? But it's all got to be tested and... Because you want that perfect customer experience every time. Scott Anderson:               08:04                     Excellent, thanks. Any other comments from the panel? Scott Anderson:               08:08                     If not, I'll tee up the next question. Shai, you got to have something to say. Shai Stern:                          08:11                     Yeah, I'll go for it. We look at personalized services a little bit different, in the fact that we are the ones who service you, the financial institution, on the ATM side. And we know that your job is to go ahead and to get the best experience to the consumer, to your customer, to your member if you're a credit union. So us, as a vendor to the financial institution, we want to make sure that you're able to provide the best services, the most advanced services, and the most personalized way. So, I have my cell phone on the website of CheckAlt.com as I try to give personalized attention and we give direct dials and direct emails and we make sure that the folks at the financial institutions are experiencing the best service possible, in order to recognize that checks, even though we all would have envisioned years ago that checks would have gone away, they are still here and rather healthy. So, our job is to provide the best services to you, the financial institution. Scott Anderson:               09:04                     Excellent. Let's keep it with you and think about... More integrated. So, what tools in your organization are you bringing to the marketplace to help with that integration piece? Shai Stern:                          09:14                     You're staying with me? Scott Anderson:               09:15                     I'm staying with you. Shai Stern:                          09:16                     Oh wow. So, what we look to do is, we are a payment agnostic company. So, I always say that my mother is never going to stop writing a check and my daughter is never going to start writing a check. And amazingly, my little, almost two year old grandson won't even know what a check is. But the fascinating thing is that at CheckAlt, our job is to be what I call "payment agnostic" and "demographic agnostic". And when I think about integration and when I think about how the financial institutions are able to take the legacy needs in their payments and their futuristic needs and the discussion around the electronic payments and realtime payments, we are there to create APIs to tie it all together to give a great experience. Scott Anderson:               10:00                     Excellent. Ken, I'm going to kick it over to you, no pun intended with KICTeam, but what interesting insight capabilities are you bringing to the market? Ken Pedersen:                  10:07                     Yeah. For integrated, we are... The way we design our products and create them is very data-driven, right? So we want to understand where does dirt build up, how frequently does it build up and when does it need to be cleaned, because we want the right solution at the right time. So, today you heard from Chase talking about integration and data and using that data to become predictive. And so, we try to design our tools around that so that we can provide a better product in that... Ultimately, the devices that we support provide an ultimate experience. It's an optimal experience and that the end user enjoys using the device that we support. Scott Anderson:               10:44                     Excellent. Vanessa, Intel Inside. I mean, what are we doing here from an integration perspective? Vanessa Foden:                10:49                     Oh yes. But if you don't mind, I'm going to do a little bit of back to the future. Yes. So, in my previous role, I was an integration manager at a banking institution, and they had actually outgrown their software and hardware solution. And one of the things, and I'm sure it's like this today with a majority, if not everyone in the room, when you went to the internal webpage, the number one thing you saw every single morning is: "How many customers did I gain from yesterday?". It was so important to continually watch the customer base. And so what happened is, as they're worried about the customer base, we're in the background saying "Okay, we've outgrown our customers. And if we don't do something, we're going to let them down". At the same time again, what we've heard time and time again, is security is so important. Vanessa Foden:                11:46                     Now, security has evolved into way more of a complex monster than it was back then. But it's really important at the end of the day why we're thinking about integration. We're thinking about "How do we protect the customers?". And that can be multiple ways. That is through security. That is through having remote management capability, so that if your system's down, meaning, down down, you have an opportunity to bring it back up or if you just need to do a patch or et cetera. So, we really think about it from all aspects and understand, at the end of the day, it's about growing the customer base and if you lose a customer you can... Well, you might be able to get them back. But it's really hard. Statistically, it's really hard. So we'll focus more on "How do we help with the overall security?". We help with the remote connectivity and we, as you know, we also help with our Intel Inside. We believe that our products are secure and do help provide the best solutions available in the market. So that's what we do. Scott Anderson:               12:52                     Excellent. One of the other mores that we've heard about, and I think this is top of mind to a lot of the folks in the audience, is available. And my fellow bookend at the end here, let's... Bill, kick it over to you. Availability leads to enhanced customer experience. So how does this impact, how was this impacted by the network? Bill Stutzman:                     13:09                     Yeah. Availability is one of the highest priorities that we look at from a networking perspective, because all the stuff that everyone else is talking about, unless it can get from one point to the other, it's something that just isn't going to make your customer experience positive. And so, uptime is an extremely important element for us. And so, we look at it from different perspectives. First, where is it that you're putting your ATM? Your locations, are they at the branch? Are they at a sports stadium where 60.000 people show up and use them? Are they in a mall, or are they in a more of a less traffic area? Even to the point where we're out in remote Louisiana, where there's nothing else out there and we've been able to find a type of connectivity. And so, we look at what's the most important type of connectivity to make those networks work. And so whether it's cellular, whether it's a broadband circuit, whether it's an MPLS circuit, we build that to work it through. Bill Stutzman:                     14:02                     And that can also impact based on the type of machine that you have. And so, we look at how do you integrate those pieces together. If you're putting in an ITM, the amount of data that you're required for that ITM can impact the type of infrastructure we would put in, as to whether you need something that allows you to have a cost effective... The amount of information that goes back and forth to an ITM or that might be built into a full MPLS circuit versus a cellular circuit. Bill Stutzman:                     14:28                     The other really important thing that we've seen recently is business continuity from availability. And so, we've been working with a lot of our bank and credit union partners on taking their branch ATMs, isolate them from the branch network so that if there are issues on the branch or on the ATM, either one or the other is up. And so, we've launched this program called Branch ATM Network Isolation and it's worked very well for us because one, it provides that business continuity for the branches so that the ATM stay up, it removes some of the PCI auditing that you're required as part of the branch experience because the ATM needs it, but the branch does not. And then it allows that customer experience, which is... Always, the biggest measure is how is that customer feeling when they come into the branch. So there's always something there for them, whether it's one or the other. And so, to us it's really always about availability. Scott Anderson:               15:17                     Fantastic. Ken, Steve, I think this is a perfect topic for your lines of business as well. Ken, why don't you kick it off here and give us some thoughts? Ken Pedersen:                  15:23                     Yeah, absolutely. So availabilities is key for our products, right? So our products enhance the performance, they enhance the customer experience, they prolong the product and they increase the availability, which I think for all of you out here that's very key and that's very important. So when we look at the products that we're creating, we want to make sure that they are enhanced, so that the experience's at a top level. We're trying to enrich the experience and we're building it in to the data. So we talked about data and we talked about predictive maintenance and prescriptive maintenance and Chase talked a little bit about that earlier. And so, when you can get into that model where you can clean this device or maintain this device before something goes wrong, you are increasing the experience ultimately. Scott Anderson:               16:12                     Excellent. Steve Gilde:                       16:13                     Yeah and it's the same for us. As Bill said, it's all about the end-to-end experience and all of those pieces have to work together, they all got to be tested together. You need to make sure that one transaction works and you need to make sure that you test transactions at scale and find out if there are any bottlenecks or any issues. And again, you just got to make sure that the customer has a good experience and make sure, end-to-end, it all gets tested, it all works. Scott Anderson:               16:39                     Excellent. If we think about efficiency, obviously time is money to every one of us and all of our consumers as well as, as we look at the customer journeys that they're going on. Bill, from a Ventis perspective and being a leader in the ATM network, what are you guys doing in this regard? Bill Stutzman:                     16:54                     Yes, so we look at providing the full experience with the managed network as a service. And so, our ultimate goal is to help our bank and credit union customers and partners develop a process that mostly takes it completely off their plate. And so, working with CheckAlt, we provide a direct relationship with them with Multi Endpoint Routing. We can go to your check imaging, we can do your security, we can do your alarm panels, we can do your DVR. And so, the network that we've built within the Ventis private core is a fully redundant, multiple circuits, multiple data centers, and that allows that integration. And so, our whole objective is to make sure that we integrate whatever you're doing within that ATM, so that we can provide you that service, so that it takes your IT teams off. Because every banking show, everything we go to, is all about the next thing. Bill Stutzman:                     17:44                     And so, by us taking those basic networking issues off your plate, it allows you to then look at those future projects and kind of see where you're going in the long run. And so, by doing the engineering, by doing the 24/7 customer support, by doing the ability to troubleshoot remotely, because we've built the whole IP addressing schedule into our tech center, we're not just looking for routing, we're looking for how the whole thing works. We concentrate on that full customer experience with our managed network as a service. Scott Anderson:               18:13                     Excellent. So you mentioned CheckAlt. So Shai, why don't you comment a little bit on that part of the equation from a check perspective? Shai Stern:                          18:19                     I think that when we look at the way checks are coming in, we're constantly seeing about who are processing the checks, where they're coming from and how we need to make sure that the ATMs are always up and running. So we monitor the heartbeats. And I think that that is something that's very important about heartbeat monitoring. Having a dedicated team, seeing if the ATMs are, quite frankly, processing quickly enough. I think that working with Bill and his team is of utmost importance. I think the other thing that's super important is understanding security around these ATMs and that why is somebody motivated to put a check in an ATM versus a mobile phone? And that's so interesting, that you haven't seen a big falling off the cliff about the processing around the ATMs and ATMs are alive and kicking. Shai Stern:                          19:08                     And it's really fascinating and I think that when we go ahead and we think around security, we have what we call extended deposit approval. We give certain fraud protection capabilities, we go ahead and we have duplicate detection capabilities. So, I think that when you look at the way checks are being processed, it's very important to think about security. The time of day that checks are being processed to make sure they're processed same day as many of the folks who are putting their checks into the ATMs, they are living a, let's call it... They need that money right away. So, to making sure that those deposits get in right away, you don't have to wait the next day, but rather their money is available to them immediately, are things that we're constantly measuring, constantly monitoring to make sure that we can give, again, the best experience to the customer. Scott Anderson:               19:55                     Excellent. Let's shift it to more future-ready and we just heard from [Ben Hammers Leon 00:00:20:00] on the future point of view. Steve, if we think about being future-ready and some of the testing capabilities that are out there, what's Paragon's point of view on this? Steve Gilde:                       20:09                     Yeah. I know Ben mentioned the term "pace of change", but that's really what we're all dealing with today, is how fast consumer behavior's changing, how fast our technology is changing, and so the thing that we would say is that you need to be prepared to deal with the change, because whatever the change is, something's going to change on you, legal and regulatory changes, et cetera. So, having an environment where you can easily integrate a change within your... Whatever it is, within your testing environment and make it happen quickly that you're not... Your projects aren't delayed because you can't digest a change or that you're not prepared to deal with it. Steve Gilde:                       20:49                     We would say to a new prospect that the more you invest in your testing solution, the more valuable a resource it becomes. As you automate your aggression tasks, as you integrate with your other application life cycle management systems, as you make those investments, it becomes easier to say "I can deal with change, I can make my ability to digest change, a competitive advantage for my company by being able to just take whatever comes up"... Well, I don't know what it's going to be. I know something's common. Scott Anderson:               21:23                     Right. Interesting. Given we just had a futuristic conversation a couple of minutes ago, any other panelists want to comment on sort of future-ready from your point of view? Bill Stutzman:                     21:32                     Well, I think the one thing that we can look at is that everyone's working on Windows 10. And so when you talk about change in the future, we know that Windows 10 isn't the last update. And so, knowing how that's going to impact... And from us, from a network perspective, Windows is just such a different animal than what it was between the amount of updates that have to go through for security, to even just installing it and things of that nature. And so, working with our partners and customers to make sure that whatever impact that change has, that it's future-ready and going forward. But we know three years from now there's going to be whatever they call it, Windows 20, Windows 15 or something of that nature. And those systems are going to continue to change and change. Bill Stutzman:                     22:10                     And so, I'm always fascinated when I've talked with the banks and credit unions on where they're at with their Windows 10 integration. And so, finding people that are completely done to folks that are like... We're just going to get finished in December. And so, planning for that change has been a... And we've known about it for what, two years, three years that it's coming and that the deadline is December. And so, watching that type of change happen, I think it's something that we constantly see within the industry. Scott Anderson:               22:36                     Interesting. Vanessa Foden:                22:37                     I think some of the things that are opportunity for change, and I saw some of that in your demonstrations outside. So, if anyone didn't stop by and check out the demos, they're really exciting. It's really exciting to see what you all have done. We really have been focusing around opportunities in artificial intelligence and computer vision. And I think that's a game changer for us. For us, everybody, whether you're in banking or other industries, we're going to continue to see that relevance around artificial intelligence, computer vision, and we need to be able to engage in that. Where do we need that compute power? Is it at the edge or is it in the cloud? And so, those are some things we need to continue as our businesses are evolving and we're evolving with you, what is it that's the priority? And how do you decide, depend on... And again, this goes back to security. Not everything needs to go to the cloud. Vanessa Foden:                23:36                     So, we need to think about what really needs to be edge compute when we're processing. And we need to think back on security. Various ways of security, including understanding. Is the person coming up to the Teller Machine? Is it who they say they are? And how do you know that? Or if they're coming up, whether automated or coming up physically into your store, is that the person that you should be engaging with? And I think artificial intelligence and computer vision will help with that. Scott Anderson:               24:04                     Interesting. And that's a great Segway to our... I'm sorry Steve, did you want to [crosstalk 00:24:08] Steve Gilde:                       24:08                     Yeah, I was going to say one more thing is that... The thing that we see a lot with branch transformation... If you'd asked me two years ago sort of where ATMs were heading, we were kind of flat-lined, we weren't seeing growth and things like that. And then the whole change in branch is getting a little smaller. Branch is changing and the products that you guys are putting out now are now allowing branches to kind of reconfigure what they're doing. And so we talked to... We're always interested to see how they're integrating those devices into the universal. We're seeing a lot of universal bankers with cash recyclers with ATMs and where that's becoming more of a part of that integration into the branch versus just a sort of out-the-window or out-the-best of your remote location. And so we've seen a very positive uptick in that element of the automation being integrated into the different branch setups. Scott Anderson:               24:54                     Excellent. Shai. Shai Stern:                          24:55                     I just want to add on one thing. One of the things that we think about is that we speak about an iPhone... All of us who have iPhones, which I assume is most of us here, you see some times that if you plug in your iPhone at night, by the time you wake up in the morning, the update has been completed. One of the things that we have established at CheckAlt is that we have a universal installer that, where were there to be an update in our deposit automation technology or whether it be to roll out any updates, it's a press of a button and we can go out there and touch all the machines in one swoop. Shai Stern:                          25:23                     We do that in a very thoughtful way, in a very futuristic way, but also recognizing that the environment that we live in, even though we all would love to be in the cloud tomorrow and have great computing tomorrow and all those great advantages but we, unfortunately, or fortunately, we do live in a rather regulated environment. And when the regulators come in and they challenge a cloud, a futuristic plan, or they challenge the way that you're thinking about security, it is incumbent upon each and every one of us not to get in the cross hairs of these regulators. So it's a rather delicate balance between planning and executing for the future, but yet maintaining the happiness of those regulators to make sure that we can continue doing what we're doing. Vanessa Foden:                26:06                     Happy regulators and happy customers. Scott Anderson:               26:10                     So we've tiptoed around security in a number of these comments here. And that's the last more we want to talk about, sort of the elephant in the room, and for most of us is this secure environment, this trust, this ensuring we're protecting our brand. So, let's open it up to the panel. I'd love your points of view on what we're doing in the security space in each of your organizations. Maybe... Well, let's start with you, Vanessa. Vanessa Foden:                26:31                     Oh, I thought you were going right past me. Yeah. So, around security. So, really good question. Globally, right? So it really depends on what's happening globally. We see lot of... I'm going to go sideways just a little bit, I promise I'll come back. We see a lot of activity in China around what they're able to accomplish because they have different regulations to your point, and it is amazing what we've seen there. The way that they've been able to use the automated kiosk with any engagement, the things that can be done on a mobile phone, the biometrics and scanning to identify who they are and a lot of what they're doing never requires another person. And so it's edgy, but it also reminds us, puts us back into reality here in the United States and in EMEA. And if we didn't need that, GDPR has made sure... And PCI compliance, our other good friend, has made sure that that keeps us in our place, if you will. Vanessa Foden:                27:36                     So when we think about that security, we try to embrace what we can push at the edge, but at the same time making sure that we are able to help our customers innovate because it is happening. And when we think about... A lot of people didn't want to do the PCI compliance on these different devices and now Square's killing it in the market, right? And we were all afraid of that because we were following the rules, this is the rules and they weren't PCI compliant and it's not going to work. Not true. They're doing extremely well in the market. So, it's just that fine balance on innovating while still making sure we follow within guidelines. And that's how we work with our partners. Because at the end of the day, again, I know I've said it a million times, I'll say it one more time. We understand it's all about the customers and keeping the customers and growing that customer base, and with that they need to be secure but also... We have different generations and security and what people are comfortable with is different depending on the generation that you're working with. So it needs to be that balance. Scott Anderson:               28:37                     Great. Ken, anything to add on that? Ken Pedersen:                  28:39                     Yeah, so you wouldn't think of cleaning and security going hand in hand, but when we look at our products, we think about exposure and risk and can we make products that are easy to use that limit exposure and risk? And can they be done quicker and faster? So, we do take a lot of thought designing our products. Can we maximize security and minimize risk? Scott Anderson:               29:02                     Excellent. Steve. Steve Gilde:                       29:04                     Yeah, a couple of things. We hear often from customers who are behind on Windows patches and things like that at their devices because they're busy or they just can't get to it type thing, which is difficult because there's no sympathy for any more in the marketplace, right? If you see some exposure because you didn't have your Windows patches updated, nobody is going to come in on your side on that one. And so, if you can automate your capabilities to test and get those things out there, it makes it easier to stay on target. Another aspect of security is internal security, which is unfortunately a real issue that we all have to deal with today. So, having a centralized infrastructure to manage users and roles and permissions and understand who's tested what and who hasn't tested what, who changed what on the system. Steve Gilde:                       30:00                     Unfortunately we see that at times where folks say "I don't know how that data element got changed. I don't know who changed that. Somebody did, but I don't know who". So, having the capabilities to audit that and stay on top of it and management is just something that you have to deal with. Going back to when regulators come in and look at your books, you want to be able to say "I know exactly who did what, why they did it, when they did it", those types of things. And finally, for a lot of our customers, they have their downstreams, they test for their downstreams, they test for their own customers, and being able to have reports that can be managed and maintained longterm to prove that you did test what you said you were going to test for your customers, and survive an audit with that aspect of your business as well. It's security, it's risk, but it's all part of making sure that you protect your business. Scott Anderson:               30:50                     Fantastic. Bill? Bill Stutzman:                     30:51                     Yeah. So, transferring that information from one place to the other is a very secure area. And so, we have always looked at PCI compliance as our number one. We always try and be out in front that if it's changing two or three years then we do at a year or two early and try and keep that going. Same with internal security, always trying to make sure that however all the data centers and everything is put together is always fully secure. And then what we're introducing here at the show this week is that we've partnered with a company called Eclipse and there's some folks here from there as far as the technology agent, to provide a full end-to-end key encryption system from the ATM to the cloud. And so, to stop jackpotting or mend the middle pieces, it's eliminated that piece that was never encrypted from the machine before. Bill Stutzman:                     31:41                     And so, we're looking at introducing how you can integrate that into your Diebold product and we're talking working with Diebold and how to run that through their managed services program. And so, we're very excited that if you want to stop by and talk to us about that, the ability to fully encrypt from the machine to the the data center and then move that on to the processors to the Cheque Imaging and everything else we think will be sort of groundbreaking. And so we're really happy to kind of introduce that at Intersect this week. Scott Anderson:               32:08                     Fantastic, thanks for sharing that. Shai. Shai Stern:                          32:10                     Yeah. Vanessa mentioned Square. So, one of the things that I wanted to mention is that all financial institutions, when you read the Wall Street Journal, then the news, you constantly see our Fintechs taking away business from banks, is that the fear of the banks and the Fintechs, and how they're going to battle one another. And one of the things that we try to do as... Some people call us an old company because we do process checks, but as well we are a Fintech company and we actually look to invest into new startups in the Fintech space and be able to offer them to our clients. So [two 00:32:42] for example, we're an investor and bank [inaudible 00:32:44] . It's a mobile banking company and also another one called [inaudible 00:32:47] that is a cutting edge technology and cybersecurity and helping financial institutions protect their card data in the dark web. Shai Stern:                          32:55                     So these are things that we're constantly thinking about. And I think a financial institution, it's incumbent upon all financial institutions. And when you have the previous speaker speak about diversity and thought processes, it's about "Yes, we have regulators and yes, we run a payment businesses and yes, they need to be secure". But how can we go ahead and take what we can learn and what is available today from the newest technology and be able to go ahead and have them live together? And I think that's something that it really... Everyone should be thinking about. Scott Anderson:               33:22                     Fantastic. I'd like to express my warm thanks to the individuals up here on the panel and the contributions they've made for the success of this gathering and this conference. So if you wouldn't mind, please give them a warm thank you. I appreciate your time.

Hey all. In this episode I share my second conversation with Bill Reed from Regenesis Group and the Regenerative Practitioner Seminar (our first chat is here). It is a conversation I highly recommend in which we look in detail at several aspects of how the rubber hits the road in the regenerative development or living systems approach Bill works with. I also get a bunch of things off my chest at the start around bumping this whole conversation up a notch and inviting your input into where and how Making Permaculture Stronger evolves from here. Hope to hear from you (whether via a few bucks via our patreon page and/or your reflections and suggestions in the comments below or through the contact page). I have to say all this focus on the likes of Bill and Joel Glanzberg and Carol Sanford is starting to rub off on me. I have noticed that the language I use is on the move, the thoughts I think are on the move, and even my entire understanding of what the heck Making Permaculture Stronger is and could be about are on the move! Heed this warning my friends: these people are dangerous radicals who consciously mess with minds. As Bill says, they see what they do as a mental technology that is intended to frustrate and destabilise you out of your automatic patterns. Bill mentions this article by Jonah Lehrer in the New Yorker, I mention possibility management, and you can find out more about Regenesis Group here and Carol Sanford here. Example Purpose Statements including Function, Being, and Will As promised, here are the function, being, and will based purpose statements Bill shared: The Yestermorrow design / build school's purpose is to learn together through shared inquiry and hand-on experience the ways of making human habitat... (function)...in a way that expands our understanding of who we are and how to live in beneficial interrelationship with the earth and each other... (being)...so that we all can thrive in a world with limited resources and unlimited potential (will) and I’m going to take raw ingredients and transform them into a meal for my family… (function)…in a way that we sit down with our children and share our love for each other, or at least our daily events around the table… (being)…so that our children have the psychological wellbeing and nourishment to grow into responsible adults (will) As a recap the function aspect is about what are we doing and transforming? The being aspect is how do we want to be and what do we need to become to do this? Or as Joel Glanzberg has put it to me, what are the capacities to Be you are aiming to develop during this task? The will aspect is what is the larger field we wish to shift or positively impact? As Bill put it this is like asking what is the purpose of the purpose? Keep in mind also, if you can handle it at this stage (I barely can!) that Bill talked about paying attention to the so called three lines of work at function, then again at being, then again at will. The three lines of work are the immediate whole you are working with (might be you, or your school garden), the proximate whole (might be your team, or the school community) and the greater whole that you envisage being able to positively impact through your work (might be the farm, or the community the school is nested within). Here's a preliminary attempt I made at an upgraded purpose statement for Making Permaculture Stronger:55 Making Permaculture Stronger exists to hold a unique space for intelligent, collegial, and rigorous inquiry and dialogue into the subject of permaculture design process... (function)...in a way that respectfully honors permaculture’s incredible depth and value and openly explores ways its potential might be more fully and rapidly developed... (being)...so that it continues to thrive, grow and evolve in its ability to contribute positively to humanity and the earth (will) After some reflections on this from Joel Glanzberg (thanks Joel!),

Today’s guest is Wild Rose Brewery CEO and President Bill McKenzie. Bill tells us about his history in Canada’s beer industry, Wild Rose’s recent acquisition by Sleeman, and why he considers himself the luckiest guy in beer. As Bill was coming of age he had planned to go into medicine, until meeting a local Molson beer rep. He applied to work as a summer campus rep for Molson and received a job offer before he was even old enough to drink the beer! As we learn, both Mark and Bill have worked as campus beer reps and agree it was the coolest job a guy on campus could’ve had. After a number of years being transferred throughout Ontario, Bill ended up working out of Edmonton at 34, fell in love with Alberta, and never left. From Molson Bill moved to Diageo and later to Calgary original Big Rock. Mark loves to hear stories about Big Rock founder Ed McNally, and Bill doesn’t disappoint, describing Ed as “an individual who was like noone else I’d ever met.” Clearly Ed thought highly of Bill as well, as Bill later stepped into the role of President at Big Rock. From there Bill moved to his current role at Wild Rose, and we get the inside scoop on what makes Wild Rose’s legendary culture possible. It all starts and ends with the brewer veto: no matter what other brewers are doing, Wild Rose doesn’t produce a single beer that their brewing team wouldn’t be proud to stand by. They follow a mantra of “freedom to fail, freedom to succeed,” because as Bill puts it: “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not learning.” Wild Rose has just been acquired by Sleeman because of their legendary culture, and Bill is proud to talk about Sleeman’s commitment to their brand legacy and their team. “I think it’s extremely important that we stay true to who we are, stay Albertan, and run the brewery accordingly.” letsmeetforabeer.com albertabeerfestivals.com Wild Rose Brewery Wild Rose Brewery’s Podcast: This Pint Has 20 Ounces

The U.S. is undergoing a boom in energy production as oil, natural gas and renewable energy set records for output, and electric utilities increasingly shift to cleaner fuels for power generation. So, what does this mean for jobs in energy sectors that are flourishing as well as some that are not?   In this edition of the Columbia Energy Exchange, host Bill Loveless talks to David Foster, the author of the newly released “U.S. Energy and Employment Report 2019.” It’s the product of the Energy Futures Initiative, a Washington-based think tank headed by former U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, and the National Association of State Energy Officials.   The report, previously compiled by the U.S. Department of Energy, looks at employment in 2018 in five sectors: fuels; electric power generation; transmission, distribution and storage; energy efficiency; and motor vehicles. And it compares those numbers with those of the previous year.   As Bill and David discuss, the findings are generally positive, showing, for example, that employment in the traditional energy sectors, like fuels, electric power, and transmission, distribution and storage, as well as energy efficiency, increased 2.3% in 2018, adding almost 152,000 jobs, nearly 7% of all new jobs nationwide. This comes as the U.S. energy system continues to experience an evolution in which market forces, new technology, tax policy, and declining federal regulation affect the changing profile of the energy workforce.   David Foster is a distinguished associate at the Energy Futures Initiative, and previously was a senior adviser to Secretary Moniz from 2014 to 2017, where he designed the report when it was done at DOE.   Before that, he was the founding executive director of the BlueGreen Alliance, a partnership of unions and environmental organizations, and director of a United Steelworkers district covering 13 states. Now, he also sits on the boards of Kaiser Aluminum and Oregon Steel Mills.   The talk is timely as Washington and the rest of the U.S. grapple over the best way to address climate change, with the Green New Deal attracting so much attention.

Bill has been a top producer since 2012 and shows no sign of slowing down. His latest addition to his repertoire -- which includes monthly CE classes and a weekly video emailed to his list -- is making contact with 10 agents a day. These aren’t cold calls but touchpoints with existing contacts.  Ten. each. day. As Bill reminds us, there are a hundred reasons to contact agents. This “chore” doesn’t need to feel unnatural or pushy. In today’s episode, he explains how. We also learn how Bill uses classes, events, and old-fashioned hustle -- especially around the holidays -- to attract prospects. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN: How providing monthly CE classes keeps Bill top of mind How to make 10 agent contacts a day in a naturnal, non-pushy way Why it pays to work around the holidays when others are taking time off Why it’s important to give back to your community Why, when it comes to video, you’ve got to just do it and know that it will get better and easier over time Why word-of-mouth reviews are not enough Ideas for connecting and engaging with agents LINKS FROM TODAY’S EPISODE Email Bill at WMurphy@FairwayMC.com Ready to grow your business in the new year?

As we transition from the end of the year to the new year, we might imagine what’s next in our future and what kind of goals we should aspire to do. Verne Harnish joins us today to guide us through the goal-setting process!   As Verne is coming up to his 60th birthday, he is faced with the ‘what next?’ question. He attended a Tony Robbin’s seminar to help unblock himself from… himself! As Bill says, you’re never truly finished, so it’s important to continually grow and develop yourself until you die.   We want to be informed of the past, learn from it, make our peace from it, and then get ready to move on. As Verne sits and imagines the future, he has some changes of thought on the goal-setting process. We have some real cultural barriers when it comes to our accomplishments.   Every day, Verne is more and more convinced that you’re a danger to yourself if you think you can have three-year objectives. The whole idea of even knowing where you’ll be in 3, 5, or 10 years is very limiting.   This doesn’t mean Verne is against making your BHAG for the next 20 years, and taking steps for you to get there, but it just means that everything in between before you get there is a big guess at best, and it’s okay to learn and grow from that.   Interview Links: Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned, by Kenneth O.

A lot of people talk about paid-ad traffic, and the various ways to make ads online work best for your business. But getting referrals can seem like a dark art, and so today on Just the Tips, Dean and I welcome Bill Cates, a master of these dark arts. People tend to separate their customer acquisition into two camps: the things they’re doing to actively acquire business (thinks like paid ads, events, etc.) and then the passive effects of doing good work, like referrals. As Bill says, people tend to think of getting referrals as just the “icing on the cake” of doing good work. But Bill breaks down how that’s bad thinking, and actually leads to people leaving money on the table, this week on Just the Tips. How a referral changed Bill’s business forever Bill told us on this week’s Just the Tips that his entry into the world of entrepreneurship came through book publishing. He wrote a book about referrals and marketing, and that led him to start a publishing company, which led him to literally selling his books to bookstores door to door. So he went into one store where the owner wasn’t interested, but he referred him to another store that sold the type of book Bill was putting out there (this one was called Hooked on Seafood). And then an executive walked into that store and loved the book, and long story short, a major company ordered 400,000 copies of that one book. You’ll have to listen to this episode of Just the Tips to hear the whole story, but it’s a doozy. What do we mean when we say referral business? Bill has been focused on accelerating referrals for businesses for 25 years, and as he says, a lot of people confuse getting referrals with networking or referencing a business. And certainly those are elements of referrals, but they’re not the whole picture. Bill boils it down to one important action: Introductions. He says it’s first about engagement, getting to know people, and then getting those people to introduce you to people who could use your help, and then forming a connection with those people. Bill has it all distilled down to a science, and you’ll want to hear about it on this week’s episode of Just the Tips. The super-referral: Getting referrals without having to ask them Bill says it’s important to keep an eye out for engaged clients or engaged customers. Those are the clients and customers who go beyond hiring you and who know and trust you. As he says, you let them know, “don’t keep me a secret.” In other words, without having to ask them, plant the seed that they could and should refer you. And Bill says something so key in this episode of Just the Tips: It’s about being authentic, not necessarily about being different. Sure, being different can help, but Bill says it’s most important to coach them in how to talk about your business, so they really make it click for a potential client. How referrals are a perpetual revenue machine Bill shares so much insight on this week’s Just the Tips about how to drum up referrals. He talks about what he calls “reputation marketing,” which is all about doing good work, and then making sure good people see that good work. If you can offer something of value to people who can help you back, then you’re really onto something. Bill talks about his principles of engagement that allow you to continually land more and more referrals, creating what Bill calls a “perpetual revenue machine.” That’s a pretty sexy name, and you have to hear how Bill makes it work on this week’s episode of Just the Tips.

After more than 500 interviews with Roofing Contractors, Bill Good understands what problems keep us contractors up at night! In today's interview with Bill, we dig deep into the problems we all face every day in our businesses and what the NRCA is doing to help solve them. Bill, who has an MBA  from the University of Chicago, has been the CEO of the NRCA for most of the past thirty years. The mission of the NRCA is a simple one- to assist contractors and advance the industry. It's a hundred and twenty-nine years old, with thirty-five hundred members and staff of fifty-three. Half of the members do both residential and commercial and half of them do less than $1,000,000 in sales, so there's something there for everyone. Bill is due to retire this year, so Dave wants to draw on his vast experience and find out what's happening in the roofing industry from someone who really knows before he hits the beach.  As Bill talks with a large number of contractors each year, Dave would like to know about the types of problems going on out there and what can be done to solve them. Listen in today, and find out from an expert, how you can take your roofing business to the next level. Let's dive in and learn some valuable tips to help your roofing business! Today, Bill talks to Dave about: What his plans are. Why the average roofing contractor should join the NRCA and what they will get out of it, as it's pretty expensive for the ordinary guy. Some of the issues that need to be dealt with in the industry. The average apprentice joining the roofing industry today is thirty years old- what that tells us. The difficulties roofing companies face in terms of finding the right people to hire. The black market that has been created due to the government's immigration policy. The results of school leavers being encouraged to go to college, rather than going to good trade schools. How it is possible to advance in a number of areas within the roofing industry. The changes that he's seen in the industry over the last thirty years. Why roofs on a lot of buildings are the single most important component for saving energy, today. How the roofing industry has advanced and improved, in many different ways. The increasing government regulations affecting the industry, today. The love/hate relationship that exists between the government and the roofing industry and Bills concerns in that area. How the NRCA assists with inspections and various other business issues affected by governmental regulation. Health care today and the roofing industry. Why the roofing industry is in a better position now than ever before. How the NRCA has been involved with the building code arena. His thoughts on how the new government administration could affect the roofing industry. Business Quick Tip: Current and future state of our workforce is the number 1 problem in our business. Don't poach people from other companies. Make sure the word on the street is that your company is different and treats employees well. Learn how Dave used a Spring Carnival as a very effective recruitment tool. Paying a substantial amount for referrals is also effective. It's important to have regular meetings and feedback sessions with employees. Making sure you have a happy workforce is the best way to keep your turnover low!

Meet legendary thinker, innovator, disruptor and Cradle to Cradle hero, William McDonough. Architect, designer, thought leader, and author – his vision for a future of abundance for all is helping companies and communities think differently. He was the inaugural chair of the World Economic Forum’s Meta-Council on the Circular Economy and currently serves on the Forum’s Global Future Council on the Future of Environment and Natural Resource Security. For more than 40 years, he has defined the principles of the sustainability movement. This interview is a must for anyone who is interested in the circular economy, or indeed just cares about the future of our planet.  We discuss why we should we view waste as a resource, and how we can transition to doing that. We talk about sustainable development, about look at how we measure society’s success now, and how we might change that in future. As Bill and his co-writer Michael Braungart write in Cradle to Cradle, “In the race for economic progress, social activity, ecological impact, cultural activity, and long-term effects can be overlooked.” We also dig into emptiness vs. abundance. Unpick the idea of fashion as a verb. Look at how weaving and mathematics are linked. And talk about clothes and Diana Vreeland, beauty and the impotrtance of language. Bill can talk about any subject in a completely delightful way. Buckle up for a wild conversational ride.  

Today on episode 638 I am talking about controlling a conversation from two different angles. Bonus Content Why Squadcast is the Best Tool for Recording Interviews I speak with Zach Moreno one of the founders of Squadcast (save 50% off using the coupon code sopfans ) who explains Why he (a programmer) and his brother (an audio engineer) started Squadcast How they had an issue, but it has been solved and they may have their solution patented What is coming in the future Squadcast is super easy. You put in the email address, the date and time of the interview and it does everything else. The big key is your guest(s) need to use chrome to use the system. The system prompts them to use chrome if they are not. It records their side of the conversation locally to their computer and then QUICKLY uploads it when the conversation is done. If there were any glitches where the speaking was cut out during the call, the local recording does not have any of those glitches. Squadcast is currently $20 a month.

Bill voiced his fear of how people are having careers taken away becomes someone took something you said as a joke seriously and they are now TELLING YOU what YOUR intent was. As Bill put it, "You don't get to decide that you're in my head and you know my intent." One example of a company who ensures you understand their intent is American Airlines who has a podcast called "Tell Me Why." For example, one episode an American Airline representative explains the changes in their policy regarding support animals. I think this is an awesome job as a lazy journalist (where people just Google a subject, do no research and copy and paste an answer - even it is entirely untrue). could easily spin this as "American Airlines hates all animals." The good news is American Airlines through their podcast has a DIRECT CONNECTION with their audience (their customers). They don't have to worry about anyone from the mainstream media putting a spin on it. I personally found it strange when people began burning their own shoes in protest to Colin Kaepernick is a new spokesperson for Nike. So I did something people use to do called "Journalism." I listened to Colin's first press conference. It turns out. He doesn't hate the troops the flag, or the country. What he hates is the alarming rate of police brutality that he sees and hears about, and yet it is never covered on the news, and there seems to be no justice for the victims. In fact, the news just kept repeating how it was disrespectful for the troops and the flag. Even though in his press conference later he said, "People thought it was about the flag or the troops and it's not." So when you go through the mainstream media, your message has a potential to get very distorted. This is why Colin Kaepernick needs his own podcast. Then people could go directly to the source and here what his intentions are, why he is doing what he is doing, and maybe get a better understanding. For me, I urge all white people who group up around white people (you're not racist, but it just so happens there were no black people in your neighborhood to watch the documentary movie 13th on Netflix Freedom of Speach is Not Freedom from Consequences Just because you can say it, doesn't mean there weren't be consequences. For example, I believe it is illegal to scream "FIRE" in a theater. You are free to say it, but you will go to jail. Keep this in mind that stating your intentions and opinion will exercise your right to free speech. It may also introduce you to the law of consequences.  One A Side Note There was a time when you were allowed to have a difference of opinion. You might actually have a "dialogue" so you and another person could examine both viewpoints to see if you agreed on anything, or might gain an new insight and expand your knowledge. It seems harder and harder to do that today. As I bring today's slight controversial topic, please note I don't support sexual predators, racists, or anyone spreading hate speech (cause racism is learned from your parents are friends - you are not born a racist).  If this episode offended you I'm sorry. My goal is to show how you can get your unedited point across on your podcast and have it reach the world

In this episode of the Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale relate stories from their client base about this very issue, what do you do when a longtime buyer feels compelled to interview other vendors? As Bill and Bryan have done in the past, they break this topic down into prevention and remedy:  Prevention is what can you do to prevent this from happening again, and the guys give ten points of learning around that. Remedy is what do you do about it if somebody just, "Serves you the papers." They've got a couple of thoughts on that as well. ========================================= Want to have your sales question answered on The Advanced Selling Podcast?

Laredo Stroke Support Group (LSSG) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by stroke through meaningful group encouragement, local networking support, and free therapy services. Years ago, Bill Hrncir, a successful entrepreneur in Laredo suffered a massive stroke. At that time, there was no local support for stroke survivors in Laredo. As Bill got better, he and his wife started this group to help fellow survivors in Laredo. Today, LSSG has grown into a vibrant organization under its executive director Paola Huerta. In this interview, you will hear all the innovative ideas LSSG has adopted. The group not only offers art classes, gardening classes and free therapy services, but has come up creative ways to organize car pooling and local social networking. Let our host Nancy Weckwerth take you to this very eye opening interview.

Whether you are buying a home, selling, or have simply lived on a property for a long period of time, it’s a good idea to have an inspection done.  Recently I was joined by Bill Whitmire from On The Square Home Inspections. Bill and I agree that getting a home inspection is the best way to make sure any property is in proper condition. On The Square performs inspections on structural, electrical, plumbing, and other major components of a home to make sure they are functioning safely and correctly.  Moreover, home inspections also ensure that the property is a good investment. Realtors will structure your contract in such a way that you are able to view the full report prior to any obligation you have to move forward in the process. These reports are usually 20 to 30 pages in length and include pictures of all the items commented on. The comments within can be good or bad.  “Home inspections ensure that the property is a good investment.” But, in either case, the report is designed to give you an overview of the home’s condition. It also may surprise some to find out that it’s actually recommended for sellers themselves to get the inspection prior to listing their home rather than expecting it to be the responsibility of the buyer. As Bill points out, this will allow sellers to repair components of the home at their leisure. It’s also a much cheaper option than waiting to have it performed later in the process. This is especially true because sellers will often times not realize that certain smaller issues have damaged their home over time. Accumulated issues can lead to the buyer demanding a decrease in price or other stipulations.  By having an inspection done ahead of time, the seller is able to make sure the home has a “clean bill of health” before proceeding.  However, Bill and I both personally recommend that you get an inspection on your home whether you’re selling or not. If you have lived in a property for a long time, it’s good to uncover potential repairs before they become an issue. If you’d like to reach out to Bill with any questions or for more information, you can give him a call at (843) 203-9418 or visit his website: OTSInspections.com. And if you have any other questions for me or would like help with your real estate needs, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.

020 Bill Farris—Comforting the Littlest Children’s Hospital Needs Grandfathers to “Read” Bill Farris is no stranger to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tennessee. In fact seven years ago he was a regular visitor to see his grandson. It was then Bill began his “reading.” Today he continues comforting children in the neo-natal intensive care unit of the same hospital by holding, rocking, reading, telling stories of his youth, and humming (no singing—just humming) to babies—a blessing to him, as well. Bill feels this volunteer activity is his way of helping the parents and grandparents who are working and not able to be there, as well as the nurses who are continuously busy as they help all their charges. Needless to say, volunteers like Bill are a welcome addition to the care of these littlest ones. As Bill reminds us, hospitals are everywhere and most likely readily awaiting new volunteers!

from Wiki   The Doctor and Nardole have occupied themselves under the guise of a university professor and assistant. Bill Potts is called to the Doctor's office, where Bill becomes the Doctor's student. Bill becomes intrigued by a student named Heather. Heather asks her to inspect a puddle, asking her if she can see what's wrong with her reflection. The Doctor investigates the puddle, and notes that it is not a reflection, but something mimicking them. Bill returns to her flat, and is chased by a moving body of fluid: A living fluid from an alien ship that has absorbed Heather and her feelings for Bill. Bill runs to the Doctor's office and they flee into the TARDIS. The Doctor moves the TARDIS, where he and Nardole check on a vault they are guarding. The TARDIS lands again in Australia, where the Doctor admits who he is. The fluid follows them to another planet in the future, then through a Dalek battle, but survives. Bill convinces "Heather" to let her go, and it departs. The Doctor and Bill return to his office, where he attempts to wipe Bill's memories of the day but she stops him. As Bill leaves, she finds the Doctor waiting with the TARDIS.

Today’s guest is Bill Troy, who will be the incoming EO Education Chair, and the President Elect for 2018-2019 year. In this episode, Kevin and Bill talk about Bill’s start in entrepreneurship, starting his own business and writing a book, and how EO has helped him navigate some of the twists and turns he has experienced in his career. Key Takeaways: [1:04] Bill shares his “lifeline” — after meeting his wife in college, he left college and went to broadcasting school, and after broadcasting school he got into the radio business for about ten years. When they switched gears to follow his wife’s career, they ended up in Columbus, and he started his own internet-based market research company, Troy Research. [5:15] What did Troy recognize in himself that he had the entrepreneur mentality? For him, the missing piece was sales. After he did that for his work with a market research company, he had the knowledge and the confidence to start his own business. [6:19] Getting integrated into the Columbus community: coming from the city, the adjusting was difficult, but once they settled in their home in Ohio they realized that it is a great place to be. [9:01] Bill’s financial advisor encouraged him to join EO. Immediately, being a part of EO helped Bill realize that all the things that made him think he wasn’t an entrepreneur were actually the evidence that he was an entrepreneur. Bill talks about how he got involved in other aspects of EO, particularly becoming a member of the board. [11:24] Bill talks about the impact of forum as a process, and how the principles apply to other areas of his life. [14:20] This involvement, and the experiences he gained through the work he had to do, actually ended up having an effect on the growth of his personal business. Bill’s story is a great example of the kinds of things people are experiencing by being involved in EO. [16:08] Being able to see and recognize that there is a bottom and top five percent is really important because it leads to the ability to turn one into the other (preferably your bottom five into your top five). [19:00] Bill and Kevin talk about Bill’s book, and how the idea for that came around. As Bill is changing directions in his business to focus more on using online marketing tools for relationship-based marketing rather than impersonal transactions, he is hoping this book will help bring in some others who believe in the same things. [22:57] Where does Bill see things going in the future? For Civilis Marketing, they are working toward building a business that is not “Bill-related.” Ideally as they move forward his wife will take over more over the actual running of the business. Bill also talks about the services they are hoping to provide through Civilis Marketing. [27:11] Kevin asks the age old question: how can he, or anyone in the audience, help Bill out? Bill really wants members to be more proactive about getting involved. When members take ownership of growing their interests through the program, it helps everyone. [31:51] Both Kevin and Bill are writing books — they talk about the different routes of publishing and what the process has been like for Bill so far.   Mentioned in This Episode: Civilis Marketing Troy Research Contact Bill: bill@civilismarketing.com Columbus Chapter of Entrepreneurs’ Organization  

After more than 500 interviews with Roofing Contractors Bill Good understands what problems keep us contractors up at night! In today's interview with Bill we dig deep into the problems we all face every day in our businesses and what the NRCA is doing to help solve them. Bill, who has an MBA  from the University of Chicago, has been the CEO of the NRCA for most of the past thirty years. The mission of the NRCA is a simple one- to assist contractors and advance the industry. It's a hundred and twenty-nine years old, with thirty-five hundred members and a staff of fifty-three. Half of the members do both residential and commercial and half of them do less than $1,000,000 in sales, so there's something there for everyone. Bill is due to retire this year, so Dave wants to draw on his vast experience and find out what's happening in the roofing industry from someone who really knows before he hits the beach.  As Bill talks with a large number of contractors each year, Dave would like to know about the types of problems going on out there and what can be done to solve them. Listen in today, and find out from an expert, how you can take your roofing business to the next level. Let's dive in and learn some valuable tips to help your roofing business!   Today, Bill talks to Dave about:   What his plans are. Why the average roofing contractor should join the NRCA and what they will get out of it, as it's pretty expensive for the ordinary guy. Some of the issues that need to be dealt with in the industry. The average apprentice joining the roofing industry today is thirty years old- what that tells us. The difficulties roofing companies face in terms of finding the right people to hire. The black market that has been created due to the government's immigration policy. The results of school leavers being encouraged to go to college, rather than going to good trade schools. How it is possible to advance in a number of areas within the roofing industry. The changes that he's seen in the industry over the last thirty years. Why roofs on a lot of buildings are the single most important component for saving energy, today. How the roofing industry has advanced and improved, in many different ways. The increasing government regulations affecting the industry, today. The love/hate relationship that exists between the government and the roofing industry and Bills concerns in that area. How the NRCA assists with inspections and various other business issues affected by governmental regulation. Health care today and the roofing industry. Why the roofing industry is in a better position now than ever before. How the NRCA has been involved with the building code arena. His thoughts on how the new government administration could affect the roofing industry. Business Quick Tip: Current and future state of our workforce is the number 1 problem of our business. Don't poach people from other companies. Make sure the word on the street is that your company is different and treats employees well.Learn how Dave used a Spring Carnival as a very effective recruitment tool. Paying a substantial amount for referrals is also effective. It's important to have regular meetings and feedback sessions with employees. Making sure you have a happy workforce is the best way to keep your turnover low! Connect with Bill: Bill Good Email: begood@nrca.net    You can read the full show notes at www.theroofershow.com.

The world we live in is “sue-happy.” It seems you can get sued at any time for most anything. This is as true in the field of real estate investing as in any other. The potential legal pitfalls could be enough to scare away anyone who’s thinking about getting into investing — or it might even cause a newbie to stall out and quit. That’s why I invited the Legal Wiz, Bill Bronchick, for this episode… Alex and I have our questions ready, and Bill delivers the goods. How many people do you know who have a foot in both camps — serving as an attorney and as an active real estate investor? Not many. Bill is in a class of his own. Because he’s been actively investing since 1990, that makes him a true veteran in the business. Ever have someone tell you that wholesaling is illegal? Or that a certain investing strategy is practicing without a Realtor’s license? Ever have an attorney warn you to stay away from creative financing or subject-to’s? Has it all been a little disconcerting and terribly confusing? As Bill says, “There’s so much misinformation going around…” But you need answers, and the answers you’ve been looking for are in this episode.

This week, Bill Hobbs joined us in the Bowery Capital studio to discuss "Growth Hacking With User Behavior." Bill is the VP of Sales at Totango, a leading customer success management platform and a company deeply steeped in the importance of user behavior. Growth hacking, no doubt, is an overused term, but we take it here to mean tips and tricks you can use as an early-stage founder or employee to win more customers faster and keep them longer. What we'll talk about today is how to use your existing or past users' behavior in product to drive or improve growth hacking techniques. You might be familiar with the fact that you can use product engagement data to reduce churn, improve trial conversion and drive upsell / cross-sell (if you aren't, I'm sure Bill and his colleagues at Totango would be happy to tell you). But we'll discuss how you can take growth hacking a level deeper through the micro-segmentation of your users or customers by behavior, and also by other potentially relevant factors such as role or industry. These strategies don't apply just to freemium solutions focused on conversion or post-sales efforts (churn / up-sell & cross-sell) either. If collected properly, user behavior during beta and trial periods can be used to increase close rates. That data is equally valuable in crafting your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), sales scripts, ad / content marketing copy, and much more. As Bill will tell us, successful growth hacking requires a deep understanding of your target user and there's no better way to develop that knowledge than product engagement data. Bill's growth hacking expertise goes back to his first career working with Fortune 500 companies to turn around struggling business lines by restoring rapid revenue expansion. Since then, he's served on the Board of Advisors to several tech companies, founded two businesses, led sales at Chartbeat, had a cameo in film The Wolf of Wall Street, and became a bestselling author with The Work Book: How To Build Your Personal Brand and Get Hired (check it out here). Today, he advises business leaders to help them master the art of growth hacking: expanding into new markets, growing revenues and building sustainable business models. And of course, as VP of Sales at Totango, he heads up business in the Eastern US and EMEA markets.  In today's episode, we'll explore 10+ growth hacking techniques leveraging user behavior that every SaaS salesperson, marketer, customer success rep and early-stage founder should consider. We hope you'll give the full podcast a listen here. Until next week!

As Bill was gallivanting on an awe inspiring Tattoo Trek to Las Vegas, Dan decided that this week would be a great time to discuss one of the best episodes in Star Trek History: Deep Space Nine's "Far Beyond the Stars", and when Bill returned, he wholeheartedly agreed! Star Trek has always been about facing "issues of the day" head on, and this episode is the PERFECT example of just that. From the incredible acting, to Avery Brooks' amazing directing, to the ugly truth about racism and bigotry, this episode is considered by fans and cast alike as one of the greatest. We discuss all the things that we loved about the episode as well as a couple of things that we actually didn't like. This kind of episode can really cause some intense discussion because of the subject matter, and our discussion is no exception! In addition, we announce the winners of our Star Trek Timelines Poster contest, discuss or trip to Boston to see Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage and what we think of the announcement that Star Trek The Animated Series is coming to Blu-Ray. Wait...what? So sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 53 of Trek Geeks - A Star Trek Podcast! It isn't a dream! It is REAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL! It's REAAAALLLLLLLLL! It is REALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Business coach, Bill Baren, joins us for this session of the Life on Fire Virtual Summit to talk coaching, mentorship, determination, and success!   Bill’s start in the real world came just after graduating from Stanford with a degree in computer science.   So, where did he go from there?   The music business, of course!  (Against his parents wishes!)   At his peak, he had a small, independent record label, a music store, 85 employees, and over $10,000,000 per year in gross revenue.   After realizing he wasn’t living his true calling, he sold off his business, and planned to regroup while living off of his 5 year payment coming from the sale of his business.   The payments stopped after month 4.   So, with a newfound urgency Bill was lucky enough to come across coaching.   Bill spent the next 4 years working toward becoming a business coach.   It wasn’t until he started failing even further before he finally developed a repeatable system that worked for him.   And, after making $25,000 per year for 4 years, Bill’s income jumped to 6-figures within 6 months of putting his new sales process in place.   What Bill did was become a master sales communicator.  And, in his process, his communication is 85% about listening and only 15% about speaking.   By truly understanding what it is someone desires and helping them see and feel that it’s possible, that’s how you create success with them.   As Bill says, “The person that can keep them feeling that pure place of possibility is the person they’re going to hire (as a coach).”   For Bill, what makes a great coach is fully committing to be the coach and realizing that their experience is not about you, as the coach, at all.  It’s about you being a doorway toward helping someone move forward.   And, what he finds in his clients and his own life, is that consistency and unrelenting determination are the keys to success.   “Everything we want goes through the island of doing what we don’t want to do first”, Bill acknowledges.   In addition to his honed enrollment skills, one of the things that has undoubtedly made Bill successful is the fact that profits are not the primary driver of his business decisions.   Impact on his clients comes first.   Bill reveals that he’s often knowingly made decisions that made him less money because it ultimately resulted in a better outcome for his clients.   Great stuff, Bill!   So much wisdom packed into one interview!   To get a mind map of Bill’s sales enrollment conversation process, Bill has made that available for you at BillBaren.com/fire!   If you loved Bill’s interview, please write us a review in iTunes telling us what you love about Life on Fire TV and leave us a 5-star rating.   Thank you for subscribing to our podcast in iTunes!  Never give up!

Every story has a beginning. Including our own. So many of us want to live out our own story and go from A to B. But where do you start and how do you prepare for that journey.I am happy to welcome Bill Bean from GreenPlanningAndCoaching.com to the show today.Bill is going to talk about business plans and planning for business. As Bill defines it figuring out a way to go from point A to point B using organized common sense. It is about thinking about things ahead of time. Focusing on things in a rational way so when problems hit you don't react emotionally because you've thought it through - you have a plan. Part of the planning process is also about understanding the magnitude of change you want to take place. Do you want a big change, or a small change. Where do you want to be in three years? Figure that out and now you have a direction to head in. Then you just have to build a plan to get there.This is not an episode about creating pro-forma financials or filling in a template or boiler plate plan. This is more about the higher level thinking that goes into the creation and skeleton of the plan itself. Once you figure this part out then the details will fall into place. In any business you don't have to know all of the details at the beginning, just that it is a unique viable business that provides value to specific set of customers, and you can deliver. Remember, this episode is about thinking about your plan and the process. If you take the time to think about the things that are scary or intimidating up front, when no risk is on the table, it makes taking them on a lot easier because suddenly they aren't so scary or intimidating anymore.

On our 70th podcast, the always entertaining Bill Collings of Collings Guitars explains the concept to us and a lot more.  We talk about the diverse Collings offerings, which include acoustics and electrics, mandolins and ukuleles. We also discuss Bill's current obsession, creating the perfect guitar case. As Bill puts it, “whatever I like is whatever I do.” All told, it's a frank and funny half-hour discussion with one of the world's best fretted instrument builders. Like this FJ podcast?

As Bill settles into the 8th episode of HOTC, a few changes are made to the opening. Bill is also excited to announce on the show that he is in search of a nomination for The People's Choice Podcast Awards again this year. Eric St. Vaughn's recent appearance on the show is discussed as well as RPro's upcoming "Welcome to My Nightmare" Halloween themed wrestling event. Gutter Monk drunk dials the show spewing venom for Jenny McCarthy and Miley Cyrus. Speaking of Miley, her recent appearance on SNL and internet feud with Sinead O'Connor is lambasted. The Immortal Hulk Hogan strapped on a thong and slapped his ass while riding a fake wrecking ball. Bill drags Effie into The Imagination Theatre to see what it'd be like if Christopher Walken was cast as Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. A punk rock chick stuck it to Westboro Baptist Church by sticking it to herself on WBC's front lawn.

As we embarked on Ephesians, chapter 2, Pastor Bill asked us to do some heavy-lifting thinking in his sermon entitled "Raised Up." As Bill meditated on the passage, we were invited to do some personal reflection to discern what areas of our life are either dead or alive to Christ. The answers may surprise you.

Tune your channel, raise your vibe, and get ready to start seeing signs from the other side! We get the big skinny on how to be a medium between realms from psychic-medium and author Bill Philipps. This opera-singer-turned-psychic-medium speaks to angels and has the voice of one. Bill walks Leah & Rachel through the day in the life of a medium, and chat blessings in disguise, toilet magick, and how to channel with the other side through intention and surrender. As Bill puts it, there is no heaven, and hell is the Earth-plane we already live in - so we might as well enjoy it while we're here! In closing, Leah and Rachel give Bill (@billphilipps) a Goddess Oracle card reading that's sure to reach you in divine timing.
