Send us a textThe mobile notary and loan signing industry is filled with opinions, misinformation, and yes, a whole lot of noise. Some say you need certification to succeed. Others say you're being scammed if you even consider paying for education. So what's the truth?I'm here to tell you straight: Certifications are 100% voluntary—but for the right notary, they can be a total game-changer.In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what certifications actually do (and what they don't), why haters love to hate, and how to navigate the noise with integrity, strategy, and confidence. You'll hear:Why certification is NOT required—but often helpfulWhat continuing education actually does for your business (think: confidence, credibility, and conversations)How to spot toxic energy and hypocrisy in the industryThe crabs-in-a-bucket mindset and why it's holding good notaries backHow to stop collecting certifications and start putting them to workWhy implementation is the missing link in most notaries' growthWe've got notaries from all walks of life joining this industry—white-collar professionals, single parents, career switchers, retirees, and people starting over. So when someone says “You don't need that,” they're often speaking from their place of privilege and experience—not yours.Education is how we shine the light back on the path we've walked so others can find their way, too.Mentioned in This Episode:

So if you're still managing your business the way you did 5 years ago, it's time for a serious shake up! In this episode I chat with Jodie Stainton, Director of Property Management at Harcourts Solutions, about how she's leading her team into the future. We dive into what's changing in the world right now, new innovations, shifts in how we think and work, and the tech that's already shaking up the industry. Jodie shares actionable strategies that actually work and have been implemented in her business. Whether it's streamlining workflows, shifting your mindset, keeping your team motivated, or using data to improve customer experience, this episode is packed with practical insights you can start applying right now. “I'm always learning, it means that I'm looking at the shifts that are always happening in the world. And to be fair I've been exposed to that with the leaders I've been working with. That then has shaped when you're learning and when you see something you can go hang on a second we can use that in property management” - Jodie StaintonWe explore:How Jodie stays ahead of the game with her fresh ideas and how it's helped scale the businessHow to build high performing teams and the reasons her property managers stick around and not have a high turn over of staffHow Jodie tracks customer experience and why it's a non negotiable in the businessWhat's happening in real estate tech with AI and automation and how it's already changing how we lease, manage and communicate How we as property managers can uplevel our skills and the skills we need to focus on as automation takes overWhy hiring the right people matters more than ever and how the business keeps their team engagedHow teams performance is a direct reflection of your leadership and how to keep your team engagedKylie's ResourcesProperty Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchoolDigital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschoolThat Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerateBook a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/HD&U Sales Bundle: https://www.hdandu.com.au/that-property-mum-sales-readiness-bundle-0Find out about our Done for You Lead Generation - https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/done-for-you-leads-discovery-callConnect With...

“Whenever someone comes up and says ‘Hey, why am I not getting booked to speak?', my first question is 'how many professionals did you call today?'"One of the best parts about being a speaker is that YOU get to decide what your speaking career looks like. Your story is unique, and the value you bring to your audience is something only you can deliver. This week, Ryan Vet joins us on the show to talk about how he found his way to a speaking career that was perfect for his strengths and passions. Ryan got his start as a speaker when he was still in high school, and he hasn't looked back since. And while everyone often thinks of paid speaking as being primarily keynotes, Ryan points out that the majority of paid gigs are often other formats. For his part, Ryan fell in love with training and found it incredibly fulfilling to help people immediately make changes in their lives and companies. During this episode, he shares some practical advice on how to find the path that is right for you — along with some horror stories and funny moments from his new book, Speak Goodr. This is a solid episode that will encourage you to take the next (or first!) step in your speaking journey!

Uncensored CMO Reloaded. This episode was first published in May 2021.Rupert Howell is one of the founders of the iconic advertising agency HHCL & Partners. This is a bumper 2 hour episode, but I promise you it's worth it. We spend a lot of time actually talking about new business and the importance of winning pitches and growing customers. We also look at the campaigns that the HHCL created, where the ideas came from that inspired such iconic and effective work. And I think you'll find that quite revealing also how relationships are basically underpinned all of Rupert's success. Enjoy.We covered so much ground in this bumper 2 hour episode, so here's the list of what we touched upon:How Rupert made HHCL the best agency of the 90'sRuperts New Business Mantra – Honesty. Respect. Trust.Why saying ‘I don't know' and ‘we got it wrong' is so importantHow the agency's sole focus is Advertising but the Clients sole focus is the businessWhy new business should always be separate to the day to day account managementHow Rupert became ‘the finest new business director of all time'How to win a pitch even after you have lost itWhy the pitch process begins with the phone call and only ends when its announced in CampaignThe sole purpose of the pitch is to win and not to solve the clients business problemWhy HHCL had a strike rate of 65% for new businessWhat the company annual report can tell you for the pitch processWhy you should try and get your customer promotedHow Carling Black Label inspired the most successful Tango Advertising of all timeHow Tango destroyed Fanta and forced Coke to withdraw it from the marketHow a call from a Surgeon led to the Tango Slap commercial being withdraw from marketWhy the ‘4th Emergency Service' transformed The AA and how the bold idea was sold inHow spending time with an AA team out on a call led to the ideaThe importance of winning your internal teams and why they matter as much as your customersInterrogating the product until ‘it confesses its strength' Why the harder you practice the luckier you get is just as true for an agencyThe real hard yards of the start-up phase that meant not taking a day off in 3 yearsHow tabloids create controversy and how to respond to itWhy relationships are the secret to really succeeding in businessTurning down offers to sell the agency including a £1million bribeWhy HHCL accepted an offer from Chime with the support from Sir Martin SorrellWhy so few agencies ever succeed after being acquired by a networkWhy HHCL was never the same after Rupert left and why he would never go backThe importance of timing for Founders handing over to the next generationDealing with bullies, bribary and negotiating an exit from McCann with a boat & DB9 as consolationWhich celebrities are still speaking to Rupert after he left ITVWhy social media is driven by click bait and negative headlinesWhy you should give up the news, except perhaps local newsThe Pros and Cons of a British free pressHow to get a non-exec role

“One of the easiest ways to demonstrate your value in the sales conversation is to not try to sell yourself, it's to show them you understand the puzzle they're trying to solve. If you can show somebody that you understand their puzzle, they'll trust you with a solution."One of the most challenging things that all speakers face — at all stages of their speaking career — is overcoming fear of rejection. If you're a new speaker, you might be surprised that even veteran speakers still struggle with things like confidence and beating imposter syndrome. Constantly having to pitch yourself and establish your value is never easy, no matter how many times you do it. So, how do you overcome all of that and feel confident in who you are, the value you bring, and the fee you charge? This week's guest has some great advice on that. Phil M. Jones is a world-class speaker (and friend of the podcast) who teaches people how to know Exactly What To Say in all areas of life. This week, Phil is breaking down how to build your confidence and master tough conversations without feeling personally rejected or passed over. Phil also talks about why you need to vet potential gigs just as much as they vet you as a potential speaker — after all, speaking is a two-sided business. From start to finish, this episode is a masterclass in learning how to embrace uncertainty and maintain your confidence as you navigate hard conversations and negotiations. No matter where you are in your speaking journey, you're going to want to hear this. You'll learn:Why you should thoughtfully pick your gigsThe difference between arrogance and convictionHow to overcome self doubtHow to cater your talks to each businessWhat 4 things event planners find the most valuableWhy it's a good thing to lose gigsAnd much, much more!“You have to work like your life depends on the money, and play like you don't need it.”Episode Resources:Phil's WebsiteGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are your emotions secretly running your business? In today's episode, we are going to dive deep into the world of emotional regulation in business and why it's the key to your success. I'll talk about how your subconscious mind is like the silent CEO, pulling the strings behind your thoughts and actions. You'll find out why emotional regulation is absolutely essential if you're serious about scaling your business. I'll share some of my favourite subconscious tools to keep your prefrontal cortex—the real CEO of your brain—engaged, so you can respond to challenges as your higher self instead of reacting impulsively. Plus, we'll explore how simple practices like slowing down and breathwork can bring a sense of calm and clarity to your busy life. By the end of this episode, you'll be ready to take back control of your business, align with your higher self, and lead with confidence. So grab your notebook, your favourite drink, and let's dive into this together!Topics covered on Emotional Regulation in Business:What does it look like when you are emotionally dysregulated, and what impact does it have on your business?What role does the subconscious mind play in your emotional responses?How can you master emotional regulation in your business?Subconscious tools that will help you engage your prefrontal cortex so you can make better decisions in your business.Understand and manage your natural fight-or-flight response to stress in business situations.Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeFind the full show notes & more resources at www.rebeccahaydon.com/podcast/subconscious-basics-how-to-emotionally-regulate-in-business-make-your-subconscious-feel-safe

What if the secret to successful AI governance lies in understanding the evolution of model documentation? In this episode, our hosts challenge the common belief that model cards marked the start of documentation in AI.

Our discussion also highlights the important role of early modelers and statisticians in advocating for a complete approach that includes the entire model development lifecycle.Show NotesModel documentation origins and best practices (1:03)Documenting a model is a comprehensive process that requires giving users and auditors clear understanding: Why was the model built? What data goes into a model? How is the model implemented? What does the model output? Model cards - pros and cons (7:33)Model cards for model reporting, Association for Computing MachineryEvolution from this research to Google's definition to todayHow the market perceives them vs. what they areWhy the analogy “nutrition labels for models” needs a closer lookSystem cards - pros and cons (12:03)To their credit, OpenAI system cards somewhat bridge the gap between proper model documentation and a model card.Contains complex descriptions of evaluation methodologies along with results; extra points for reporting red-teaming resultsRepresents 3rd-party opinions of the social and ethical implications of the release of the modelAutomating model documentation with generative AI (17:17)Finding the balance in automation in a great governance strategyGenerative AI can provide an assist in editing and personal workflowImproving documentation for AI governance (23:11)As model expert, engage from the beginning with writing the bulk of model documentation by hand.The exercise of documenting your models solidifies your understanding of the model's goals, values, and methods for the businessWhat did you think?

Cozi serves the entire Texas Hill Country and surrounding areas, connecting guests and property owners to the best luxury vacation rentals and experiences this beautiful part of Texas offers. Cozi provides 24/7 property management and marketing services for owners and unforgettable experiences for guests. Originally founding the business out of Baltimore, MD, in 2013, Matt grew his managed portfolio in this market and throughout the East Coast to 150 homes from 2014 to 2019. During the same time, he worked full-time as a Global Business Development Manager for Northrop Grumman and attended grad school at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, where he obtained his MBA in Marketing and Data Analytics in 2018. Matt was fortunate to meet his beautiful wife, Jenna, originally from Austin, Texas. In the summer of 2019, Jenna easily convinced Matt to move back to Texas to  be near her family. Upon moving, Matt left his full-time job at Northrop and pursued Cozi Vacation Rentals full-time. In March 2020, COVID ultimately shut down Cozi's East Coast Market. From this point, Matt chose to solely focus Cozi's growth on the drive-to tourism markets of the Texas Hill Country just south of Austin. Since April 2020, Matt has organically grown the Cozi Vacation Rentals unit portfolio in Texas from 0 to 400+ units with a team of over 50 full-time employees. In their free time, Matt and his wife Jenna enjoy spending time with their precious daughter Grayson Virginia, traveling, and rehabbing and remodeling properties.  Get in Touch with MattWebsite: https://www.cozivr.com/ Matt's Real Estate Services: https://join.cozivr.com/ LinkedIn: Matt DurretteTo Connect With UsPlease visit our website www.bonavestcapital.com and click here to leave a rating and written review!
