What does it mean to be 'authentic'?No, serious question here. What does it mean?To some, being 'authentic' is the mirage we create for superficial consumption.You know the ones, where everything seems to just be going right for them. Shoot, social media has all but incentivized it but deep down you know that something about it is just...'off'.For Bud Torcom, being authentic means just being himself. It's getting past the fear of judgement to a place where you can explore parts of yourself you didn't know. And sometimes? Sometimes not being able to relate is the most relatable part of our day.This conversation goes deep (like, really deep) into a realm of relatability that every brand, advertiser, man, woman and child must experience at least once in this life because it is the key to unlocking the key to the human experience.We talk about everything from Habit Hot Sauce to chat bots, How To Handle Haters and why shopping at local farms is not only good for the environment, but good for you in ways you didn't know (or at least I didn't).Be the proverbial fly on the wall when we just pressed 'Record' during an incredibly enlightening and bonding conversation.Grab your Habit Hot Sauce here: https://habithotsauce.com/Follow them on the Gram at: https://www.instagram.com/habit_hotsauce/And definitely connect with Bud on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/budtorcom/As always, you can connect with me on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/troweactual/And if you found value in some takeaways, please consider joining our Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/523018735139692/?ref=bookmarks Support the show (http://oohswag.com)

During Episode 65 of The HyperFast Agent Podcast, host Dan Lesniak speaks with Bud Torcom, CEO of Mazama Media and digital marketing expert, about what agents should be doing to enhance their digital marketing strategy now. Torcom shares his ideas about combining traditional methodologies with digital opportunities to maximize your success.   Episode Highlights:  Bud's business began when he offered to manage the social media accounts of local businesses. Facebook soon recruited him for their Small Business Council. Mazama Media's largest clients are telecommunications companies and large auto dealership conglomerates. Bud describes how agents can use offline conversions to gain more data. It takes less money than ever to start your own business. Combining old school methods with new techniques will put you on the right path. Many people want to avoid the actual grind of getting things done. Dial the phone. Do things other people don't want to do. They discuss social media engagement. Ads that get comments do better. The most shareable emotions are anger and humor. The least shareable emotion is sadness. All comments help you, even those that hurt your ego. Bud describes how one of his posts benefitted from an angry commenter. People who leave negative comments are likely in a bad place. Put more content out there.  Real estate agents should be leveraging Facebook Messenger. Messenger is an efficient, safe platform that Facebook is investing heavily in right now. A side business requires discipline. If you've found an opening in the market, you should put some serious energy towards it. Everyone has enough time and money to try a side hustle. The biggest mistake Bud made in business was not taking 51% ownership. His advice to new realtors is to knock on doors and do the things other people don't want to do. His advice to experienced agents is to focus on their personal brand. Bud describes the biggest business challenge he's experienced. Bud Torcom hopes to continue helping as many entrepreneurs as possible.   3 Key Points: Combine old school methodologies with new digital opportunities to maximize success. Agents should start maximizing the potential of Facebook Messenger now. Everyone has enough time and money to pursue a side hustle.   Resources Mentioned: Learn more about Hyperfast Academy   HyperFast Sales Summit  Dan Lesniak:  LinkedIn   Facebook Bud Torcom LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook Mazama Media Torcom Talk podcast Offline Conversions Trust Me I'm Lying (book) Habit Hot Sauce

This week I’m delighted to share my interview with Bud Torcom, CEO and Co-founder of Mazama Media, a digital media agency and a member of Facebook’s exclusive Small Business Council. As Bud’s company grew, he took on more and more stress and anxiety. He realized he needed to reduce his anxiety and attempted to start […] The post OM085 – Introducing Mindfulness into the Workplace with Bud Torcom appeared first on About Meditation.

GUEST: Bud Torcom https://mazamamedia.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/budtorcom/ Twitter: @BudTorcom     HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR CONVERSATION:   Bud Torcom’s Big Hairy Audacious Goal is an anxiety free workplace.   I’ve wanted to treat people the way I want to be treated and work in the kind of workplace I’d want to be working in.   As a digital marketing company, being in the office for normal business hours isn’t necessary.   We’re on a constant, steady drip of the stress hormone, cortisol. OUr bodies did not evolve for a constant cortisol drip. Anxiety is making us sick.   Bud’s not sure an anxiety free workplace is possible. Even so, he’s on a mission to try… to see if it’s possible.   The people of Mazama Media are the face of the company -- and the interface of the customers. Happy team members create happy clients.   Human Prairie dog -- When each member of the team looks out for the interests of the others, then all individuals feel they can afford to look out for collective interests.   “It’s my responsibility [to take on the stress].”   The message to the team… “The thing that just happened is not going to mean you don’t eat tonight.” You’re not going to lose your job. We’re going to learn from the way things went down.   We’re anticipating dips on the path of growth. Setting expectations of inevitable setbacks helps to smooth out the experience people have of the ups and downs of any business.   “Blame the process, not the person.”Where did the problem hit? What can we learn about our processes and procedures from each setback, failure, or bump in the road.People want to have purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.   Checklists help insure success. Set people up for success.   When you work together as a team, and with the support of technology, much fewer errors are missed and less slips through the cracks. Both team redundancy and technology backup makes for effective performance. Processes and systems get refined over time. Learn from the data and refine as you go.   The message to the team, “These processes and checklists are here to support you.”   Limit the number of things on your list of to dos. A huge list is a stresser. Focus on the few that will have the greatest impact.   Your team is going to be right about their priorities 90% of the time. Go with their gut.   The presence of ping-pong and other games in the modern workplace does have a work relevant role to play -- to give the mind a break during which breakthrough can happen.   Bud fires paying clients when they treat his team in ways that he doesn’t want people to be treated.   Prospects who will create anxiety in the organization are disqualified as clients.   Where are the places to relieve stress and anxiety from the whole system -- the team, leadership, and clients. Stress is cumulative and contagious.   Prevent burnout by defining limits. Setting limits can enhance performance because results will have to come from effective behaviors over hustle.   Delegation is a leader’s force magnifier.   Richard Branson says that your team comes first, not clients. This is because people who know that someone’s got their back are freed up to care for the clients.   Enough high-level thinking. Here are seven specific actions you can take to reduce anxiety in your organization.   Blame the process, not the person. Build a got your back culture. You can get people to do more through praise than through condemning. So praise people. Thank people frequently. Give people the ability to create. Give them agency to affect the work they do and the way they do it. Put relationships first. “It’s never about the thing. It’s always about the relationship.” Build relationships that will deliver results.

On Episode 14 of The Human Business Narrative Podcast I had the opportunity to chat with Bud Torcom from Mazama Media. Automation and AI has been a topic of interest for quite some time. Bud had quite a few thoughts and ideas to share in regards to those.  THE BIZ GRIND YOUTUBE SHOW The Biz Grind YouTube Show is a daily vlog where I talk about whatever but mostly a snapshot of my day-to-day shenanigans and a strong emphasis on entrepreneurship, business, or marketing. It is also a way for me to emphasize upon personal branding, building character, personality, and interest with other like-minded individuals.
