Through his unique insights, Ben shares how confronting trauma and embracing empathy are essential for true healing.This conversation is for anyone grappling with their own inner battles or seeking to make peace with past traumas. Together, we uncover practical steps to break free from self-deception, build meaningful connections, and find empathy not only for others but also for ourselves. Join us as we unpack a new approach to healing—one that is unfiltered, authentic, and ultimately empowering. ℹ️ About this Guest Ben "Doc" Askins is a former combat medic and psychiatric physician assistant with nearly two decades of experience in trauma care and therapy.

Ben Askins joins Ash and Kane to discuss how he created and sold a luxury digital marketing agency and his journey to becoming a viral content creator with 1.5 million followers in just 18 months. He shares insights and experiences regarding content creation, tackling topics from the challenges of handling viral growth to the effects of social media on politics. He also gives his perspectives on business, management, and the future of green technology. KEY TAKEAWAYS Building a luxury brand requires a different approach as direct outreach doesn't work; instead, focus on inbound marketing and making brands want to approach you. Content creators can get locked into their audience's expectations, forcing them to maintain certain viewpoints even if their actual opinions evolve. Personal branding should be broader than your business niche. Ben's content about management helps his green tech company by opening doors through his influence. The most relatable content often performs best, so stories about common workplace frustrations resonate more than extreme scenarios. Growing a successful content following doesn't require fancy production. Ben's simple setup of talking to a camera against a blank wall generated 750 million views! When starting a business young, many will be patronising until you hit a tipping point, then they'll claim your success was obvious or lucky. Social media has completely changed the way we consume information, Ben's content sometimes gets more views than traditional news outlets, proving the shift in media influence. BEST MOMENTS "We were very good at hiring good people to kinda help us out as we knew nothing we couldn't kid ourselves we could do it on our own” "There is a snobbery to luxury, and what I mean by that is you can't show you're too keen." "I get branded like a career expert and HR expert. I'm not that. I just a lot of all the knowledge I have is on a sort of practical level." "I think content creators sit between... celebrities and in the sense of like, I think content creators people feel a more of a personal connection to in a lot of ways." "Either at some point as a country we're either going to be selling the tech or purchasing it. That's just a fact." "I love that about social, the fact that people can monetise things they absolutely love. I think that's got to be good for the world and society in general."   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.linkedin.com/in/askinsben/ Website EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Comparing Podcast Production Options | using AI?

What Makes Top Producing Insurance Agents? An Interview with Robert Balgac, CEO of Black Swan Insurance Group

Learn how this insurance agency owner recruited over 300 agents and wrote over $5.6 million last year!

There was a LOT of "quiet part out loud" fodder served up at Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally yesterday - a not-so-subtle homage to the 1939 Nazi rally at the venue's predecessor in New York City. Many are honing in on the racist swipes made by a previously little-known comedian - so awful even the Trump campaign seeks to distance itself from them (did they review when loading his notes on the teleprompter?). I began with Tucker Carlson, though, what with his mocking Kamala Harris' being multi-ethnic and his gratitude for Trump sparking a MAGA movement that gives him the freedom to SAY "the quiet part out loud" now - making him feel like s a freed slave. I'm not making that part up. Hear it for yourself. Reminded me a lot of Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder getting fired in 1988 for racist statements made in a TV interview ... or Rush Limbaugh losing his ESPN gig in 2003. They've come a long way, baby. Also, much has been made of the Washington Post and L.A. Times declining to endorse either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump - and they do deserve all the smoke. Incidentally, cancelling your WaPo subscription isn't what'll hurt Jeff Bezos. What about your Amazon shopping habit? Your Prime subscription? Follow through if you truly intend to, people. That said, what about at the state and local level? What are editorial boards doing there? In South Carolina, The State (Columbia, SC) chose to reward a Congressional candidate with their endorsement despite his failing to respond to their questionnaire in the 7th district race vs. the Democratic opponent - who did fill out the questionnaire - mostly (it seems) based on how they believe the race will play out on Election Day. Here's what they wrote: "In northeastern District 7, The State Editorial Board endorses incumbent Republican Rep. Russell Fry over Democrat Mal Hyman. This was the endorsement we spent the most time discussing. Fry, elected in 2022 after easily defeating five-term incumbent Rep. Tom Rice in the GOP primary, was one of only two congressional candidates to not reply to our questionnaire. Hyman seemed thoughtful, but he didn't offer much in the way of specific solutions in his Q&A, and he also was hard to reach for what should have been an easy follow-up question seeking to fact-check a couple of his figures. Given that Hyman has already fallen well short in two other races for this seat since 2018, a third time does not feel like a charm. We reluctantly endorse Fry, and hope that he doesn't show such disinterest in the press or the public in a second term." That's prognosticating; not endorsing. It's weak and their quibbling over a follow-up (given prior to publication, no less) doesn't hold up. HERE are the submitted answers to the questionnaire given by the Mal Hyman for Congress campaign. Bear in mind, at the bottom of The State's endorsements, behind a paywall but you can read HERE, they wrote: "How we do our endorsements Members of McClatchy's South Carolina Editorial Board conducted interviews and research of candidates and made endorsements in many local, county, state and federal elections on the Nov. 5, 2024 ballot. We based our endorsements on this reporting and fact-checking — and on each candidate's achievements, background, character, demeanor and experience. The state and federal endorsements were made by South Carolina Opinion Editor Matthew T. Hall, letters editor Allison Askins and regular columnist Matt Wylie, a Republican strategist and analyst, in consultation with Brian Tolley, president and editor of The State, The Island Packet and The Beaufort Gazette, and The Sun News. Hall and Askins made the local and county endorsements in consultation with Tolley. If you have questions or comments about our endorsements, please email Hall at mhall@thestate.com." I do, and I will. Do you? Will you?

In this podcast, I talk with Shawn Shrestha, one of the nation's leading life insurance agents, who shares his inspiring journey in the insurance world. After his wife signed him up for the insurance business, Shawn's start was rocky—he even failed his first insurance exam. Despite these early struggles, he used each setback as motivation, ultimately rising to become one of the top-performing agents in the life insurance industry. From the strategies that helped him stand out to advice for those just beginning, Shawn's insights are a must-watch for any insurance agent looking to succeed.

"After forming an intense bond with Natasha, a wolf cub she raised as part of her undergraduate research, Renée Askins was inspired to found the Wolf Fund. As head of this grassroots organization, she made it her goal to restore wolves to Yellowstone National Park, where they had been eradicated by man over seventy years before. In this intimate account, Askinsrecounts her courageous fifteen-year campaign, wrangling along the way with Western ranchers and their political allies in Washington, enduring death threats, and surviving the anguish of illegal wolf slayings to ensure that her dream of restoring Yellowstone's ecological balance would one day be realized. Told in powerful, first-person narrative, Shadow Mountain is the awe-inspiring story of her mission and her impassioned meditation on our connection to the wild." To honor Wolf Awareness Week, I delve into this memoir of the founder of Wolf Fund, the organization that was integral to the wolves returning to the wild in Yellowstone and Idaho in 1994-1996. More than a conservation story, Shadow Mountain is a tale of compassion and empathy for wolves, communities, and everyone in-between. Find a copy for yourself at Amazon
