Is it true the West Coast Eagle's coaching position is now being advertised on Gumtree? Time to Restump preview Podcast our retribution seeking Derby. We miss the golden Derby era! It was a time when rivalry really meant something, when flying the colours and playing with club pride were the objectives and the four points was secondary want. However, let's not revive it Saturday night. As we hone in on what should be a final's campaign in a month's time, we need to avoid suspendable situations at all cost. Let's view the AFL tribunal like prospects around the country are viewing the West Coast Eagle's head coaching position – places no one wants to be in!After the deplorable performance we put in against West Coast back in round 6, we do need retribution. But it's a bigger fish to fry, greater good type retributive prospect we should be viewing it as. There is a top 4 position and a double chance on offer and that needs to be the sole focus. And I'm not going to lie, I have some concerns about us getting through the game unscathed. West Coast have suddenly abandoned their “play the kids” policy and brought back a host of veterans. It has “nothing to lose” vibes about it and cheap spiteful acts may be on their strategic whiteboard. Can they goad us into something we don't want to be involved in? We have to fly the flag and back up our teammates, but we have to be retaliatorily measured. They kind of have us at disadvantage, if that is the path they choose.Unfortunately, Sonny Walters has pinged a hammy and will spend time out and we know Alex Pearce is done for four or five weeks. That's a decent amount of experience to go out when you realise their replacements are Tommy Emmett and Josh Draper. In fact, over the four players we show a 343 games and 359 goal deficit.But the reality is, winning on Saturday night is simply mindset, it's intent. If we turn up in the right frame of mind, apply the intensity that we have in recent weeks, the result should take care of itself. If we fail to do that, do we really deserve to play finals?The Mi Casa Property Boutique Metres Gained Competition will be back for the Derby so keep an eye on our social media and throw in an entry. You might score a $50 spend from 2 Brothers Foods. Regarding the result, Brett, or Brent or Brad McDonald or McDonnell is a little too overconfident for my liking but, I guess this episode of the Neighbourhood Watch segment also oozes cautious arrogant optimism.Strategically speaking, it is a little difficult to be meaningful analytical about this upcoming game, so it's a preview pod with more nonsense than the usual amount. So, if you're partial to palaver and pointless prattle, part with a portion of your presence, pull up a pew and plug this 40-minute parcel into your Lords and Peers. By all means. take the plunge and join us in the purple opinion party pool.Support the Show.
The 29th episode of CI Chit Chat is co-hosted by COO Brad McDonald, and Director of Strategic Initiatives Alex Klopfenstein.

I have known Brad for around two decades and I have seen his growth along the way, which is awesome!

I touch on a recent Assault incident in Florida where a dude used a Bible to slap a clerk of a Walgreens. We quip about an engaged Wisconsin teacher who gets caught making out with an 11 year old student. I of course clown on Joseph Robinette Biden and play a short audio clip of the many lives this man has lead. A recent court conviction where a rapist gets convicted to 50 years in prison and along the way, a Louisiana Judge hands down a rather interesting punishment.

Brad McDonald: McDonald Cabinet & Furniture “I've been in construction since 2006. And then I started working in a couple of local cabinet shops and got the bug to build kitchens, furniture, and stuff. And I just wound up having enough side work that it would make sense to go out on my own. Right now, I've been doing a lot of countertops and bar tops.” - Brad McDonald Welcome to a brand-new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast. Today, your host Steve Larosiliere is joined by Brad McDonald from McDonald Cabinet & Furniture. Since 2006, Brad has worked in the construction industry. He later began working at a few nearby cabinet shops to gain experience in producing kitchens, furniture, and other items. He eventually had enough side work that going independently made sense. Brad is currently working on numerous countertops and bartops. In this episode, Brad shares the challenges facing his company, the kind of customers who prefer custom kitchens versus store-bought items, and how his business has been doing over the past year. We all require assistance at some point. Brad says he'd prefer to work with someone like him, even if it's a retired older man looking for something to do a few days a week or a summertime college student. However, he is still determining if he can afford that. But the objective is to get a foreman who can manage the shop daily, after which Brad will handle customer relations and some design, perhaps with the help standing by his side. Brad will be free to concentrate on some of his more creative goals. Listen now and get the whole story! Read More!

I met Brad McDonald in his garage which is now a woodworking building in Waterford Pennsylvania where Brads a full-time woodworker and he's got a whole shop there. He also has a portable sawmill in the side yard, on his gorgeous 1 acre property. He's got a couple of pigs, chickens and he's a really interesting guy. His grandfather and father are both in similar businesses, and brad grew up as a true Pennsylvania kid. We had a really good talk about what it's like growing up to be a man and and the responsibilities that come with it and ultimately finding out how to make a living and support yourself and those you love. Ultimately he realized in life its best working for yourself, and thats what drove him to go out on his own and start to do full-time wood crafting, lumber work, cabinetry work. When he met his wife, she had a three-year-old daughter, and he instantly fell in love with both of them, mentioning he said actually kind of fell in love with the daughter first, and then girlfriend soon after. Now they have a son together. Brad is adding on to his shop is a great individual with some lovely takes on the questions and great views on life. Towards the end of the interview he did share as we talked about love and the expression of love and how his grandfather used to always use the words "be good" and that was that generations way of saying "I love you". That tied into a story he shared about his fathers expression of love he waited so long for. His father was looking at work Brad had done recently, and sent him a message saying "hey I saw the stuff you've done it looks really great keep it up." Brad explains how that was so powerful for him in just a few kind words from someone he loves and respects and to see the impact that could have left and impression on me I hope you can join us soon and listen to the show and learn a lot more about Brad.For behind the scenes content of the making of The Jar, meet the guests, see some footage of unreleased podcast episodes and more visit : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgTo be a guest on the show email us at thejarguest@gmail.com or visit our webpage : https://www.thejar.live/Follow The Jar on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Follow The Jar on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarDisclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.

Freight came screeching to a halt two years ago amid global shutdowns. Then things opened up and now "supply chain issues" became the reason for every business challenge on the planet.

Brad McDonald, my high school classmate and owner of FreightCo explains what it's been like managing through a chaotic transportation marketplace. He explains pricing fluctuation, employee challenges, lessons learned last year, and the value of relationships.

We live in an increasingly visual world. Incredibly, almost everyone has a camera in their pocket and the ability to broadcast their message to the world.

Michael helps all presenters prepare for the TEDx Christchurch events, and works with anyone wanting to overcome their fears around public speaking.

We're no strangers to natural disasters in New Zealand. From earthquakes to volcanic eruptions, floods and forest fires, it's not uncommon natural disasters to regularly disrupt our lives and livlihoods. Unlike the earthquake that occurred on February 22nd 2011 which pretty much came out of the blue, the extreme rain and flooding across Canterbury that happened May 2021 was predicted and expected. Local councils from Selwyn to Hurunui and Waimakariri declared states of emergency. Flood waters caused severe damage to the Ashburton bridge. Some areas of Canterbury got more than five month's worth of rain over two days. BUT, people were able to take preventative measures to reduce the damage, protect people, livestock and livelihoods. Brad McDonald is joined by Iain Grant, a Rural insurance advisor with Vero Insurance. Iain lived in Christchurch during 2012, and shares some of his experiences on living in the shaky city. Iain and Brad also talk about how people and businesses can prepare for the next natural disaster (whatever it may be) and what steps are going to help your insurer help you get back on your feet again, including: - Why some natural disasters are becoming harder to predict; - What steps you should take in the aftermath of a natural disaster; plus - The mental toll of natural disasters. Quick disclaimer: This advice is general, and in most cases, Iain's personal opinion. For specific advice on your policy, speak with your trusted advisor. While this information is current as of the publishing of this podcast, we can't predict what the industry will be doing in five years time. Also, in talking about the climate and weather events, neither Brad, nor Iain are scientists. Is there a topic you want covered or a person you want to hear from?

It's predicted that mental illness will be one of the biggest facing businesses by 2030.

Bio: Against The Grain Health is a business which challenges the status quo of what it means to love the skin you’re in. Providing effective, high integrity products which transcend skin deep beauty and possess a broad spectrum of uses for the individual and the family. The founder, Brad McDonald, makes no distinction between his values as a naturalist and the principle decision making within the business. At the core foundation of Against The Grain Health is the mantra ‘to be nurtured by nature is a reciprocal relationship’. In order for us to thrive, not just survive, we must move with renewed reverence for nature just as we must for our own sovereignty. Going against the grain is in essence, going beyond all the stories, to a place where we are one and the same. Show notes: The original journey to beginning Against The Grain - an autoimmune issue with psoriasis sparked motivation The skin is the window in, so it opens up the conversation & many healing conversations are happening at regular markets. The consciousness is shifting Brad is noticing. Chemicals have increased 400 fold between 1930-2001. 140,000 chemicals are registered for use in Australia & 75% of them have never been tested on the environment or animals. When we take on chemicals quicker than they can escape our body, they bio-accumulate. Not everyone is born with a clean slate now. These chemicals create endocrine disruption - affecting asthma, cancer, reproductive issues & infertility. Some of the common issues. Our water, food & air quality also play a part in our whole body wellness. BUT we always have a choice. Against The Grain was created to give people an option. A healthy option. The products are very concentrated & serve many purposes. A beautiful healing one pot wonder. Ethical Beeswax is a high quality ingredient that is included in ATG products. Zinc balm is magic for sun protection, has non-nano zinc oxide & is great for repairing nappy rashes, insect bites & supporting acne. It can be also used as a deodorant & tinted moisturiser. It's easy to use & multi-functional. Future vision for ATG - flipping the script & allowing our largest organ (the skin) to absorb so many beautiful healing minerals. Bringing some new products out, along with protocols to support detox & healing balms. Let's feel inspired for change! Judgement only holds us back. www.atghealth.com
Sellers get knocked down plenty of times, but sometimes failure is the greatest sales lesson. Brad McDonald works with Sandler Systems which has 250 franchises around the world that help businesses grow by improving their sales processes. Failure Brad's 28-year career in the U.S. Navy taught him that failure could mean the difference between life and death. When he transitioned from the Navy to the sales world, he realized that many of his attempts were going to end in failure. He had to change the paradigm. The things he perceived were failures — having people hang up on him or cancel an appointment — weren't really failures. Along the way, he learned to embrace failure. Gumballs You must make a lot of sales calls in order to get to yes. On the other hand, if we see the sales calls that ended in “no” as a failure, that will feel bad. Brad uses a gumball analogy to explain it. If you want a green gumball from a gumball machine, and there are multiple colors inside, there's a good chance you won't get a green one. When you put the quarter inside, there's a good chance you'll get a different color. Imagine you're making prospecting phone calls, or cold calls; the most dreaded form of prospecting. If you make 10, 20, or 30 calls, you'll eventually get someone who wants to talk, just like you'll eventually get a green gumball. You'll also likely get an orange gumball which might represent a buyer who wants to talk more to see if there's interest. If you view every orange gumball as a failure, you won't be very likely to keep going while you wait for the green ones. If, on the other hand, you understand that you have to get the orange gumball out of the way in order to get to the green one, you can embrace it. Process of failure Brad came from a culture where sailors did what he told them to do and they didn't say no. He was surprised to find in the sales world that prospects aren't always honest and they don't always respect his time. And they certainly don't feel compelled to follow his orders. Initially, all those things felt like failures. Failure mimics the stages of grief which are disbelief, fear, despair, anger, and acceptance. Brad refers to the “ok, not ok principle.” He came to believe that he needed to be ok being not ok. He needed to not seek to meet his emotional needs in a sales call. Many sellers get emotionally involved in their sales calls and that's one of the five big conceptual roadblocks in sales. Head trash gets in the way. We get excited when we're about to make a sale and we stop doing the things we need to do. Sales activities Brad learned along the way that his focus on outcomes and results was wrong. He was excited when he made sales and dejected when he wasn't. He discovered over time that focusing on things he could control, like activities, made more sense. He started doing the things he knew would make him more successful and he tracked those things. Brad focused on his tonality, his demeanor, his body language and other things that were well within his control. Conceptual issues Brad believes that all sales problems come in one or two categories. Tactical. What do I say, When do I say it? How do I say it? Conceptual. Relating to the beliefs we have between our ears. Most tactical problems have a conceptual basis. In Brad's case, he came out of the Navy where he didn't fear much of anything into a setting where he was afraid to make a cold call. The fear was a result of the beliefs he held about sales. The conceptual issues are these: The need for approval. The problem occurs when you want to be liked more than you want to make sales. The BUY cycle. How do you buy things? How do I treat salespeople when someone is trying to sell something to me? We tend to sell the same way we buy. If you tend to comparison shop, you'll be more forgiving of buyers who do the same. Negative scripts. Many of these originate in childhood. Examples are the idea that you shouldn't openly talk about money. Also, very few of us were raised by parents who hoped we would grow up to be successful sellers. Emotional involvement in the sales process. It's ok to have a love for your prospects, but you must also have the mindset that you don't need anyone. Instead, find something that's mutually beneficial. Money concept. Your very first memory of money seems to have a relationship to how you feel about money now. When Brad made his first big commission check, he felt guilty for earning so much money. He had a money concept issue. Changing beliefs Changing your own beliefs will take time. It's a process. In order to improve in sales, you'll have to work on yourself and your own feelings about sales as much as you work on your sales tactics and other tools. #SalesPsychology For his own therapy, he sat down each Sunday and wrote about his sales experiences. Those articles helped him process the emotional aspects and taught him to have honest conversations with his prospects. Salespeople can benefit from journaling about their own experiences, about the perceived failures, and about the head trash. “Failure is the Greatest Sales Lesson” episode resources Grab a copy of Brad's book, The Art and Skill of Sales Psychology, or email him at mcdonald@sandler.com.

The Art and Skill of Sales Psychology: Why Buyers and Sellers Do What They Do by Brad McDonald Click here for show notes! https://www.salesartillery.com/marketing-book-podcast/art-skill-sales-psychology-brad-mcdonald The ART AND SKILL OF SALES PSYCHOLOGY lays out, in accessible terms that any sales professional can understand, how to identify and learn from the psychological motivators that cause buyers and sellers to do what they do. The book offers clarity and control over the sales process to salespeople, and powerful insights on coaching to managers. This book is a primer for exploring why people do what they do in sales situations. If you are in sales and you have ever struggled to understand the mindset of your prospect; if you have ever wondered why honest, moral, ethical people choose to lie to a salesperson; if you have ever wished for more control over sales interactions that seem to ride a fine line between trust and confusion; if you have ever struggled to understand and deal effectively with your own mindset and your own frustrations when selling—this book is for you. It provides critical insights on human behavior that will help you to understand and control your sales calls. If you are a sales manager or a coach, this book will challenge you. It will ask you to consider the possibility that the best way to help a struggling salesperson may be to help them to create a better understanding of the fears, anxieties, and confusion that often arise about the sales process—both the seller’s and the buyer’s. Understanding this is more essential than drilling your team in the right tactics. Of course, the tactics are important. They’re the answer to the question, “What do I do?” But understanding the “why” behind the tactics might just be the best place to start.

Back to school edition! It's been a long long long long long long time. Our first recording with Brad McDonald was unceremoniously deleted (by me), so we managed to get our favorite friend and funnyman Brad aka Brandon aka Bradald back on the pod to talk about Ezra Edelman's epic documentary O.J. Made in America, then onto more socially pressing topics like the meatball sub at Subway and why my jokes suck. If you find yourself in Montreal, go watch Brad's standup and tell him what you think to his G D face. And lastly, In honor of Navin's recent life-changing experience in Hawaii, ALOHA dear listeners, ALOHA!

And it's hard to capture those genuine moments when you don't speak the language.” [3:15] — Daniel Klein on THE FOOD SEEN “When you go to a different country, you want to be polite, kind, and not invade people's spaces. But at the same time, you kind of learn that you have to shoot until people tell you to stop.” [26:00] — Mirra Fine on THE FOOD SEEN
