You are creative. You are an innovator if you choose to be. You have everything you need, you don't need any other special training. Today's guest, Hall of Fame speaker and innovation expert Bill Stainton talks to us about how we all can find new and interesting dots, then how we can connect those dots to inspire innovation. He breaks this process for turning creativity into money down into three key steps: 1. Lights! This is the ideation stage. It's about coming up with lots and lots of ideas (light bulbs) — and THAT'S IT! Bill's techniques will have you and your team coming up with dozens of killer ideas. 2. Camera! This is the process of evaluation. During this stage, you and your team will focus (like a camera) on the highest value ideas from the dozens you've generated. You'll narrow them down to no more than 3 (preferably 1) that you'll take to the next stage. 3. Action! This is implementation, where the rubber hits the road. You and your team have generated dozens of ideas, and focused in on the very few (or one) that will move the needle. Now it's time to formulate a game plan for bringing it into reality. On today's episode, Bill guides us through the important ideation stage, and gives us great ideas on how we can inspire our own creativity. Then he shows us how to turn that creativity into innovation, because, as Bill says, "Creativity on its own is worthless. It's important, but worthless because there's no value in ideas." They key here is to take those, winnow them down to the select few good ones, and implementing them. I'm sure you'll get a lot out of this episode, I really enjoyed my conversation with Bill and I'm sure you will too! Get all links, resources and show notes at https://makeyourmarketingpodcast.com

Bill Stainton is a very funny motivational speaker and member of the CPAE Speakers Hall of Fame. But he has also learned 29 Emmys for a funny television show in the NW USA. Brad and Bill talk about a lot of things, but maybe the best part is when they tease each other and bust each other up.

They always say that "Success Leaves Clues." Bill Stainton is a Sweet But Fearless ally who is leaving clues all over the place.... he has experienced success in so many extraordinary ways.... and he's taking the time to talk to Mary and Cooper about the innovation and creative thinking needed for career transformation. Sit back and enjoy this special conversation with a special person with great energy, many talents and an adventurous soul. Bill Stainton, CSP, CPAE is a 29-time Emmy Award winner and a Hall of Fame keynote speaker. As the Executive Producer of Seattle’s legendary comedy TV show Almost Live!, he led his innovative team to over 100 Emmy Awards of their own, and ten straight years of #1 ratings. Along the way, he worked with—and learned from—people like Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen DeGeneres, and Bill Nye the Science Guy. Bill is the author of The Executive Producer, Lead Like the Beatles, and The Innovation Blueprint, has been cited in Forbes and The Wall Street Journal, and has been a regular columnist for Seattle Business magazine. He’s written hundreds of articles on the topics of Innovation and Creativity, Leadership, and Producing Under Pressure, in addition to authoring nine corporate training programs on subjects like Customer Service, Office Politics, and Employee Engagement. He has also written for HBO, Comedy Central, and The Tonight Show. His first book, The 5 Best Decisions the Beatles Ever Made, has been used in the business courses of several colleges and universities. Bill has also taught Leadership at the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business and Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania, and Comedy Writing at the University of Michigan. Professionally, Bill is a CSP (Certified Speaking Professional), the speaking industry’s highest earned international measure of excellence. Fewer than 5% of professional speakers worldwide have achieved this designation. And in 2019, Bill was inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame, joining fewer than 190 speakers in the world in this exclusive club. All of this from a guy who grew up behind a dairy farm in the Amish countryside of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. A strange start, perhaps, for someone who then spent 20 years in television, rubbing shoulders with celebrities and rock stars (he’s played drums with members of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and the Who). But it all comes together on stage, where Bill brings his unique life experience to every customized program. Bill is passionate about innovation and creative thinking. He has helped thousands of people in hundreds of organizations—like Microsoft, Boeing, and Nike—generate breakthrough ideas by tapping into their own natural creativity and innovation. On a personal note, Bill is also a pilot and a musician, although rarely at the same time.

Someone once asked me what a TV producer does. That someone was me. I asked me what a TV producer does. Maybe I should ask Bill Stainton instead. Because he WAS a TV producer - specifically, the TV producer of "Almost Live!" If that show could be compared to a farm operation, then Bill Stainton was the cruel overseer... the guy making sure the crops got in each week. Keeping the farm analogy going here, he was the guy who did the hiring and firing, supervised the operation, sometimes drove the tractor, put together the budgets - and, when necessary, went to the whip. I still have the old scars - and you should see the ones on Steve Wilson's back. You can hardly see his tattoos anymore. Bill Stainton official sites BillStainton.com Bill Stainton | YouTube Bill Stainton | Facebook Bill Stainton | Twitter Bill Stainton, as the show producer, had to deal with the various staff sharecroppers, malcontents, agitators, drifters, hard-workers, soft-workers, non-workers - while also nurturing the creativity, while also being a comforter, motivator and prodder. He was technically the boss... without being bossy. And for most of the life of 'Almost Live!', Bill Stainton served as the show's protector. So whenever station management, advertisers, politicians or viewers got pissed off, he was the one who attempted to be the conflict counselor, negotiator and calming front man, walking the line between compromise and defense. In addition to all that, he also did the other stuff: Running the meetings, performing, writing, hiring interns, budgeting and deciding what was going to be in the show each week - and what wasn't. That's all. Since the production of 'Almost Live!' ended abruptly over two decades ago, Bill, like all the rest of us, has moved on to new things. For the last several years, he has found considerable success as a keynote speaker. In fact, in 2019, he was inducted into the National Speaker Hall of Fame. Me? I was recently inducted into the National Listener Hall of Fame. But I'm not gonna brag about that right now. Because we're about to visit with Bill Stainton. Here he is, speaking from his Seattle area house... which is located immediately adjacent to his Seattle area garage.

During this global health crisis, humor can be a way of boosting immunity by elevating your mood, a topic explored on Tuesday's "The Extra".  Humor has been found to have short-term and long-term health benefits, such as: stimulation of organs via enhanced intake of oxygen during laughter; increased release of endorphins; lowered heart rate and blood pressure; release of stress-fighting neuropeptides; and easing of depression symptoms.  Host Shannon Brinias and her guest Bill Stainton discussed strategies for utilizing humor as a coping mechanism, as well as the need for people to apply innovative thinking to their everyday lives.  Stainton is a Certified Professional Speaker inducted into the speakers' association Hall of Fame, as well as a 29-time Emmy Award winner for "Almost Live", a weekly comedy show.  Stainton writes a frequent blog discussing these topics.  More information can be found at BillStainton.com.  

Bill Stainton is a multiple Emmy Award-winning TV producer, writer, and performer; an author; a business humorist; and an internationally-recognized Beatles expert. His book, The 5 Best Decisions the Beatles Ever Made: A Handbook for "Top of the Charts" Success, distills the secrets of the Beatles' success into five key decisions that can apply to any business in any industry. Currently, Bill travels the country (and the world) talking to businesses and associations about how the Beatles' success can become their success. www.TheBeatlesGuy.com

Perhaps one of the reasons ‘Almost Live!' found a place on TV for so many years was because - at its core - it was a distinctly local show. The jokes were almost entirely focused on Puget Sound towns, neighborhoods and places - and none of those places was a more frequent target than a suburb called Kent. And no member of the ‘Almost Live!' writing and performing group was more informed about that town than Bob Nelson - the only one of us with an actual Kent pedigree. To be clear, this is not the Bob Nelson who's a retired NFL linebacker. Nor is it the one who's a stand-up comedian - that Bob Nelson used to use profanity in his act, but now works clean. And it's not the Bob Nelson who's a public accountant in Tigard, Oregon. THAT Bob Nelson, by the way, is certified. And sometimes uses profanity. Bob Nelson official sites The Confirmation (2016) Nebraska (2013) Bob Nelson | IMDb No, THIS is the Bob Nelson from Kent. Grew up there - on the rugged East Hill - went to school there - he is Kent's native son. Legally. After graduating from the U-Dub - THIS Bob Nelson eventually took work at the Seattle Times, with the dream job of selling classified ads. Because he had a working TV set in the mid-1980's - he occasionally tuned into the fledgling “Almost Live!” program. To him, that looked like more fun than trying to sell a used Chevy Nova in a two-inch newspaper ad - so, Bob Nelson - THAT one - wrote a bunch of sketches and then trotted them over to KING TV even though he figured nothing would happen. Sure enough. Nothing did. At first. But then, in the summer of ‘89, he got a call from producer Bill Stainton - impressed with Bob's scripts - and like the computer hackers always say in the movies: “He was in.” In the next ten years, Bob never left the show - except for a while to write for the Magic Johnson talk show in Hollywood. Yea. Magic Johnson had a talk show. But before long, Bob came back home - and stayed with “Almost Live!” until it came to an end in 1999. But the writing career of Bob Nelson was not at an end. Not even close. There were more TV shows, video projects - and along the way, he fashioned a screenplay that became a major motion picture in 2013. It was called “Nebraska” - and it brought the first-time screenwriter Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations. As you'd guess, much more has followed, including writing and directing the 2016 film, “The Confirmation.” It's a good one. Turn the subtitles off - and watch it. As well as anything that has the name Bob Nelson on it. Just as long as it's THAT Bob Nelson. I talked to him via Zoom, from the Seattle area home he shares with his wife, Valerie. They live on an island, that has electricity and - at least on this day - pretty good internet.

Almost Live!: Still Alive is an audio podcast mini-series, featuring the creators, cast and writers of one of Seattle's most iconic TV shows, Almost Live! (1984-1999) It was a show so popular, that it also found a home on Comedy Central - and in worldwide syndication. Pat Cashman hosts this retrospective podcast series - spending time with every key player - through long and intimate conversations. Cashman's a more than appropriate host - himself a former cast member. He worked with everyone for much of the show's fifteen years - and was individually responsible for bits like The Adventures of Sluggy, Roscoe's Rug Emporium, Unsolved Mysteries of Seattle and others. His contributions were just part of the show's memorable menu of favorite sketches and characters: Mind Your Manners with Billy Quan; The Lame List; The Worst Girlfriend in the World; Uncle Fran; Cops (in Mercer Island, Kent, Redmond, Leavenworth, etc.), Green River Dance, The High-Fivin' White Guys and many more. Almost Live!: Still Alive official sites Almost Live!: Still Alive | Facebook Almost Live!: Still Alive | YouTube Almost Live!: Still Alive | Twitter Almost Live!: Still Alive | Instagram Almost Live!: Still Alive | Subscribe And after it was all over, the show had produced a remarkable group of considerable accomplishments and talents - including one of the of the world's best-loved science personalities; an Oscar-nominated screenwriter; a big-time Hollywood star; several top national keynote speakers; one of Australia's best-known TV sports personalities - and a top television director. Not to mention a clinical psychotherapist, emcees, auctioneers - and a stand-up comic or two. Not a bad lineup. Almost Live!: Still Alive features one-on-one discussions with the show's best-remembered players - from Ross Shafer to John Keister; Nancy Guppy to Joel McHale; Tracey Conway to Bill Nye - plus Bob Nelson, Bill Stainton, and all the rest. They'll be sharing the stories of how they got on the show - their best-remembered experiences (including favorite and/or least favorite bits,) tales about other people they worked with through the years - and what they're all up to now. The show's long-running popularity may well have come from its distinctive focus on the very place it was broadcast: Seattle and its neighborhoods. It reflected a remarkable time when the growing city, its surrounding communities, citizens, businesses, music and culture were changing. Newcomers to the region invariably confessed that they learned more about their new home from Almost Live! - than from any travel guide or chamber of commerce pamphlet. Since the show ended production in 1999, Seattle has exploded with the arrival of a massive tech industry, bringing with it thousands of new residents from around the country, and the world - likely blurring the old lines between Redmond and Bellevue, Federal Way and Auburn, Renton and Mercer Island. That's why watching rebroadcasts of Almost Live! today - or on YouTube - offers a witty, funny, and insightful window into how Seattle used to be - while simultaneously previewing where it was headed. We think you'll enjoy the special conversations you'll hear on "Almost Live!: Still Alive" - in hopes they'll bring back fond memories of a remarkable place and time, from some of the people who comically chronicled them. Please share these episodes with anyone and everyone who lived in the Northwest during the original airings of Almost Live! - and through its long, continuing afterlife in reruns. Because as long as people remember it, Almost Live! really IS still alive. "Almost Live!: Still Alive" The podcast.

For some longtime Puget Sounders, it’s a treasured memory, an anchor point of local TV culture. For those with, shall we say, shallower roots? It’s the stuff of legend, lore and YouTube. And for Bill Stainton, “Almost Live!” on Seattle’s KING-TV was all of that and more, it was his job. The Snohomish County resident joins Check It Out! podcast co-hosts Ken Harvey and Jim Hills in this episode. Stainton brings stories about just how rare the show was and his role as executive producer and cast member. Stainton recalls that “Almost Live!” had such a loyal following that for 10 years, Seattle was the only market in the U.S. that delayed airing “Saturday Night Live” to give the local show top billing. Today, the 29-time Emmy winner is translating the lessons learned from producing laughs every week for 15 years to lessons on how to produce results in the business world. Stainton brought his message to the TEDxStanleyPark stage in 2017 and served as an emcee at the 2017 TEDxSnoIsleLibraries event. Stainton notes that creativity is often about combining existing ideas in new ways, a process that can be planned for and cultivated. And in the process, maybe get a few laughs.
