Yes, I realise how horrible the grammar is in that title; I don't care. Surprising, I know. Shannah Kennedy and Collen Callander have just released a new book called ‘Elevate: Unlock Your Extraordinary Potential' and apart from the great discussion we had about their book, work and philosophy, what I loved about these ladies is that, at a time when some people are starting to slow down and wind down (in their fifties), these two powerhouses are building new businesses products and programs, breathing life into new ideas and creations, learning new things, writing new books, falling down, getting up, taking chances and inspiring others (of all ages) to do the same.

SUPPORT ME ON PATREON WATCH MUSIC is not a GENRE VIDEOS and MORE When David Bowie died five years ago, I righted a big wrong. I'd been aware of him since the 1970s, knew some of his hits & ‘80s music & offshoots like Tin Machine. Someone I really respected, but kept at arm's length. So I fixed that and listened to his entire catalog. I was immediately hooked. Not just on Bowie's legendary shape-shifting music, but on the whole idea of listening to entire catalogs. So I did it again, and again, and again. I'm still doing it. At last count, I've gone through well over 50 artist discographies. Truth be told it's probably more like 150-1000 if you count all the short-lived bands. I call this a “chronolography”. It's a mashup of “chronology” and “discography”, and here's how I do it. I start from the artist's earliest extant recording, and proceed chronologically from album to album - including any non-album singles. I also include solo records from any prominent band member. I read up on each album as I listen - my version of liner notes - including any career or personal info that might somehow connect to the music. And I don't stop until I reach the last recording. This can be as few as one or two albums - like with the seminal punk band the Germs, or as many as 50 or more, like if you do the Beatles and then every Beatles' solo career. There are so many reasons why this is a worthy undertaking. Greater appreciation for the artist's talent beyond their more popular output. Better understanding of where the artist is coming from and what they're trying to achieve. Discovery of hidden gems and creative offshoots they may not be known for. A detailed illustration of how the artist developed through the years. Placing the artist's work in context - both as a part of their own career and as a response to the broader music scene. Oh and it's fun and immersive and most of the music is incredibly good. Plus it takes a lot less time than bingeing a TV show, and you can do it anywhere. Now here's where it gets way better. A chronolography tells a story. Not just of that music or that career, but of the times they existed, the people involved both in and out of the band, music development as a whole, how the industry and other external pressures influenced the music (or definitively DIDN'T), and even a chunky slice of society and humanity in general. It's like history meets documentary mixed with a novel and culminating in a time lapsed work of art. It's so much more important than just a musical exercise. We all have preconceived notions of pretty much everyone and everything we've ever encountered. The judgments that shape those notions are largely based on the least amount of information possible. We might know a few songs or one era when the band was hugely popular. When commerce coincided with creativity in a big way. We decide if the band was good or worth liking just from that. And hey that's fine if that's all you want to do, because it's just music, right? No. Not right. Why? Because for most people, how you approach one thing that matters is very similar to how you approach everything else. If you are content to settle for your own under-informed judgment on something as relatively simple as music, how likely is it you'd dig deeper when it comes to more complex subjects like politics or social or philosophical issues? Or the sum total of a person's life? ... --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nick-dematteo/support

When Kara Jones’ daughter was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, she sat curled up in the fetal position the entire night, cried and prayed. They had no money to pay for treatment, limited knowledge of what might work, and had no choice but to put their faith in God. Over the 2.5 years, they spent 138 days living at Seattle Children’s Hospital as Hunter Rose went through five rounds of intensive chemo, 12 rounds of radiation, and six rounds of immunotherapy. And while there are still challenges ahead, Hunter Rose has been a ray of hope and is still shining brightly. Prior to moving to Seattle, Kara’s husband Jay worked on several TV shows including Hoarders, Ice Road Truckers, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and even proposed to Kara on the Tyra Banks Show. Days before their daughters diagnosis, they were working together to create The Experience: a new show that, in their words, was “a cross between Intervention and Survivor.” The show focused on helping people revive, rebuild, connect, and heal - little did they know they would need those same things in the days to follow the final recording. Today, Kara shares the story of her daughter’s cancer diagnosis, their journey through the years of treatments and how God always has a plan to help us overcome incredible challenges.

Host Tom Appel and co-hosts Jill Ciminillo and Damon Bell kick off the show by discussing the as-yet-unofficial details of the next-generation Mazda 6 sedan, as well as the reportedly expanded partnership between Mazda and Toyota. Next, we talk about our test-drive experiences with the new 2021 Kia Seltos subcompact SUV. Paul Strauss, publisher of the popular websites The Awesomer, Technabob, and the auto-themed 95octane, calls in to discuss the significant drop in gas prices nationwide, as well as Coronavirus "joyriders" and other ways the COVID-19 shutdown might affect the automotive marketplace in the near future. Tom has another tricky quiz on base prices for Damon and Jill, and Damon runs down the latest articles on the Consumer Guide Daily Drive blog--including a gallery of vintage ads featuring classic auto interiors (and Ricardo Montalban).

I wanted to do an April Fool's Day Special but was too caught up in the inactivity of the world to plan ahead but instead my mania persevered and I recorded this instant classic of solo episode ADD-esque rambling and self expression. You'll hear how I enjoy watching hot people get hurt on the internet, hacky Coronavirus jokes, human kindess in the face of an apocalypse, the ideal version of Black Sabbath's "Snowblind", why only the worst people message you on Facebook, and giving up on Khabib vs. Ferguson.

Today Steve did a random Facebook live to share some of his thoughts about the impact of the Corona Virus now referred to as Covid 19 and why it matters to entrepreneurs in general and specifically how does it impact Amazon Sellers. Steve is joined by other Amazon Sellers who also share their own perspectives and opinions and in some cases, the discussion focused on what sellers need to consider to be prepared for the uncertainty that approaches. The Greem Screen was not activated today - sorry about that. Steve was just jumping online to add value to the Awesomer community.

This week on From Idea to Done Josh and Erick talk about Fundraise Awesomer, a book written by the local ball of energy, Patrick Kirby. While the book is written with non-profits in mind, those in sales can utilize many of the great tips in it.J/E: Hey Everyone, I'm Josh and I'm ErickE: Today's Idea is workweek organization. We’re going to base this off of our crazy friend Patrick Kirby. He has written a book called Fundraise Awesomer. I know the book is kind of directed to people in the nonprofit sphere. I wanted to review it from the perspective of a sales and marketing person. J: Patrick is a delightful human being. Even on my most positive and excited moments I run about 20% of his baseline of energy.E: One thing I have learned over my years in sales is people who are great at nonprofits are really good to associate with. You will learn really applicable things to do for your business. Realistically sales is fundraising. Give or take a really little bit, we are all asking for money. I would buy basically anything from Patrick. That made this book worth a read. J: Tell me some of the takeaways from the bookE: One of the biggest takeaways is planning. Disgusting planning and routine. As a pretty high energy person myself, I have been saying for the past couple of years now, focus the laser. The book says Mondays are for planning, Tuesdays are for doing, Wednesdays are for documenting, Thursdays are for celebrating, Fridays are for appreciatingThis isn’t 100% of what I have implemented into my week, but I have taken some nuggets and applied them to my week. J: I think it is good to silo your activity around energy levels. I try not to have sales meetings on Friday’s as i’m pretty low energy. Another book I read called Fanatical Prospecting talks about protecting the golden hours. Basically don’t do email or social media during the time that you should be talking to leads.E: For my rule I kept Monday’s are for planning. I don’t schedule anything Monday morning anymore. That gives me a chance to come in look at my week, and prep. My Tuesdays and Wednesdays are for doing. Coffee, lunch, networking events, etc. Thursdays and Fridays are for marketing. I implement gratitude, celebrations, into that. I write actual thank you cards and online reviews of area businesses I like. Friday before I leave. I review and document my week then give myself a grade. J: What was your grade this week? E: I have gotten C’s both weeks this year, mostly due to not going to the gym, and not getting these episodes recorded.Organized action, planning, gratitude, celebrations, and tracking are at the stem of the best nonprofits I know, and at the same time the stem of all the best sales people I know. J: It’s really easy to get busy being busy and not doing something that is most important. By being intentional with your week you have a better shot of getting through all the must do’s for the week. E: One last little tip from the book I wanted to share was the quote, “You can’t ask anyone for a donation before you know the name of their dog.” This is true for asking for business too. J:I think in our world we need to know what is important to the partners we are talking to. Some favor price, some just need to make sure they are heard, and others just want a final product and to tell them when you are done. Not a one sized solution thats for sure. So what was your big overall takeaway on the book from you?E: Salespeople should implement practices used by great nonprofits. If someone is great in that world, they are doing it will less time and money than regular business. Learn from them. J: Thank you for listening to this episode.

https://awesomers.com/154 Steve welcomed Zack Leonard who is the President of GEMBAH. GEMBAH is a product design and development company that is built to empower entrepreneurs, especially those Amazon FBA Sellers, who need to help with product differentiation. Everyone talks about finding product opportunities that you can differentiate, but few have a systemic path to that differentiation. So today's podcast is a conversation between Steve and Zach about the typical product design process.

Sometimes we flow transcripts in for you to make them easy to search. So today is a different kind of episode. We call it story time with Steve. Now what this means is I'm going to tell you kind of a story and experience and then try to give you a couple takeaways or maybe action steps that you can think about as it relates to your own business, your own life, from this story.

So first of all, this story is back in probably about the 2009 range. I had helped a Chinese company buy some assets of a bankrupt company and they were moving those assets from an old lease to a new lease. So just in terms of context, they had to get out of the old lease in a relatively fast order and when you do that

Now, today is part one of a three-part series with our special guest, Diane Boerstler and she is an MNLP who clients kindly referred to as the hypnotic Amazon copywriter and the wolf of Amazon. And by the way, wolf of Amazon - pretty good copywriting right there because that reminds me of the Wolf of Wall Street. So already a really positive association. Diane is a top-ranked international business growth expert who's helped generate massive profits for small companies globally by leveraging the power of hypnotic NLP infused sales copy. And later I asked, “What does NLP means?” And she points out it means a neural linguistic processing or something like that I don't want to say it wrong but she clued me in and gets me educated. So not only does she work on that in NLP and few sales copy, she helps on the business mindset shifting strategies. When she's not cranking out high converting copy or implementing business growth strategies, you'll find her walking on the ocean with her husband and four kids running the community PTSA, supporting philanthropic events - as if I've never heard of that word - and guiding her School District and the Washington State Legislature on education policy as an elected Orcas Island School Board director. So this episode, we dive in with Diana. We just talked about a little bit of her origin story and I would get right to the heart of what makes you know her business and what makes her tick as well.
