What if you had the most powerful branding secrets at your disposal, gifting you the power to compete against big brands in your business sector? You'd be David in a world of Goliaths, right? Legendary branding expert David Brier joins Brad for a frank and fun discussion on branding and his latest book, Rich Brand Poor Brand. If you think branding is about logo design, guess again. David takes us on a deep dive into the world of branding, the resistance from clients, and the realization that you can't fix a brand if a business owner doesn't fix the "blind spots." As David states "Branding is NOT a band aid." In this episode you will learn: • The hardest part about a Brand Intervention • How Jaguar should have handled their LGBTQ role out • How Branding is about solving internal business problems first • Rock Bands as a metaphor for growing your brand from a "wedding singer" to a "stadium performer" If you are a small business owner, marketer or branding aficionado, THIS is the episode for you! And David and Brad discuss their favorite drummers of all time. ABOUT DAVID BRIER: David Brier started his career in Manhattan working on brands for Estee Lauder, Revlon, Rolling Stone Magazine, Jim Henson, and others. Since generating over $9.8 billion for global, regional and local brands including worldwide nonprofits and even cities, he's earned the nickname “The Brandfather" and has been featured in ADWEEK, Fast Company, Forbes, INC, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, and the New York Times. David is the author of several bestselling books including Brand Intervention with a foreword by Daymond John of ABCs Shark Tank. While Brand Intervention focused on building a brand from the ground up, his follow up book, Rich Brand Poor Brand, focuses on How to Unleash Your David in a World of Goliaths by creating the kind of culture that can sustain and maintain your brand for years to come. The foreword is written by Claude Silver of VaynerX, Gary Vaynerchuk's agency. The book is based on a confidential internal memo from Nike that listed out their qualities of the kind of culture they needed to build their empire. It came down to 20 distinct traits any business can master with insights from Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs, Jason Feifer of Entrepreneur magazine, Sara Blakely, Brené Brown, Billy Joel, Kevin Hart, Marie Forleo, and Gary Vaynerchuk.

A solo episode with Elisa who shares her insights and own unlearning about running a podcast.  You'll hear a review of top quotes from guests and also a preview of what is to come with a new series on Relationships coming soon.  “I am unlearning that I always know in the moment what is good or bad. The present is always changing our stories about the past. We have the ability to change the past because we have a different relationship with it, based on our present day." Connor Carrick, Episode 1  “Unlearning is the ultimate act of humility for me. It is the surrender to the fact that everything and everyone is a teacher, and everyone and everything is a student.” Claude Silver, Episode 15  "What I feel when I hear the word unlearning, I feel a relief, a softening, a permission. And, what I think about it is that if we have some intact culture and some experience at all with elder-hood, and what it may be to be near someone who are true elders, or many people or who are true elders, there wouldn't be so much we have to unlearn, we could trust the learning that we did." Kimberly Ann Johnson, Episode 22 "Unlearning in degrees matters." Kate Fagan And, Elisa previews an upcoming episode with Jordan Dann which will be released on June 13th.  Elisa Haggarty is a Conscious Leadership Coach who works with executives and teams to create more collaborative and radical responsible leaders in the workplace.

As more and more companies are mandating return-to-office policies to their employees (many of whom deem those mandates as unnecessary and counterproductive), workplace culture takes on more importance for employees and management alike. So, how can you balance the needs of both employees and employers?If you ask @Claude Silver, Chief Heart Officer at Vayner Media, employers need to step up their game and create work cultures that employees actually want to be a part of. She's determined that, at Vayner Media, employees will find it both appealing AND beneficial to work in-person with their colleagues and superiors.In this episode, Claude shares her philosophy on work and what it actually means to be a Chief Heart Officer (trust us, it makes a lot of sense).

Consciously building a culture of kindness and empathy may be the key to attracting and retaining high-performing talent for the long haul. Berta Aldrich: “So tell us about what these culture champions look like and who are they and what is their charge in your organization.” Claude Silver: “I will say they are global. They are in all of our offices. They have their own jobs. They have day jobs. They have been, you know, anointed is not the right word, but they are culture champions. They call them that, meaning someone's having a bad day, someone needs to go for a walk … Want to have a coffee? How are you doing? Reaching out, making sure people have friends at the workplace, making sure that they're not the ones sitting alone at lunch, that type of thing. And so the way I found them was they were people just like me, that were doing this already, but having a day job. … we build the connective tissue because that's our strength. So there are people I can rely on in my heart of hearts who have great intuition and want this to be the greatest career choice that anyone makes.” Highlights [2:43] What's a Chief Heart Officer?

Leading with your heart might be a scary phrase to some old-school leaders out there. But my guest today knows a thing or two about leading a fast-paced, successful company - without sacrificing human connection.Claude Silver believes showing up with heart and humanity is the key to unlocking greatness in people. Today, she shares her incredible personal story, what a Chief Heart Officer does, how it differs from HR, how empathy has fueled Vayner Media's growth, and their value of kind candor, as opposed to radical candor. We debunk myths and fears many leaders have about empathy at work, and she shares so many examples of how Vayner Media walks its talk in being a people-first organization while still holding everyone accountable and achieving success. To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:The old models of command and control leadership are not going to take you into the future, they will not attract top talent, and the companies will be gone in less than 20 years if they aren't willing to evolve. Empathy doesn't just roll downhill from leaders to staff, it needs to roll up hill to so that we're partnering, no matter what our level, but also we're accountable, no matter what our level.You are a giant. Create your mission statement, your northstar statement, that will help you to understand what your purpose is every single day, not only when you have time to do it. You were hired for a reason - amplify your skills and your strengths. You are not anyone else around you, you have your own light to shine and your own greatness to bring to your organization at whatever level you are at right now.  "People are not assets, people are your company. Heart is the central operating system of any human being and human beings right now, and probably tomorrow, are the central operating system of your company and culture." —  Claude Silver About Claude Silver: Chief Heart Officer, Vayner MediaClaude Silver believes showing up with heart and humanity is the key to unlocking greatness in people. As the world's first Chief Heart Officer at Vayner Media, she sees it as her job to infuse empathy into every aspect of the organization. As a speaker, podcaster, and LinkedIn influencer, she's now inspiring other leaders to do the same. At a young age, Claude was repeatedly told she thinks too much with her heart — something she has now learned is her superpower. As a non-traditional learner, she left college after two years and had an epiphany while on a 93-Day Outward Bound trek: it was up to her to change the narrative of her life, and in order to do so, she had to change her thinking. This power has evolved into what Claude calls “Emotional Optimism”: a concept that is key to her Heart-First leadership style. With Claude as Chief Heart Officer, Vayner has grown from a team of 400 to a Global team of 2000.

Leading with your heart might be a scary phrase to some old-school leaders out there. But my guest today knows a thing or two about leading a fast-paced, successful company - without sacrificing human connection.Claude Silver believes showing up with heart and humanity is the key to unlocking greatness in people. Today, she shares her incredible personal story, what a Chief Heart Officer does, how it differs from HR, how empathy has fueled Vayner Media's growth, and their value of kind candor, as opposed to radical candor. We debunk myths and fears many leaders have about empathy at work, and she shares so many examples of how Vayner Media walks its talk in being a people-first organization while still holding everyone accountable and achieving success. To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:The old models of command and control leadership are not going to take you into the future, they will not attract top talent, and the companies will be gone in less than 20 years if they aren't willing to evolve. Empathy doesn't just roll downhill from leaders to staff, it needs to roll up hill to so that we're partnering, no matter what our level, but also we're accountable, no matter what our level.You are a giant. Create your mission statement, your northstar statement, that will help you to understand what your purpose is every single day, not only when you have time to do it. You were hired for a reason - amplify your skills and your strengths. You are not anyone else around you, you have your own light to shine and your own greatness to bring to your organization at whatever level you are at right now.  "People are not assets, people are your company. Heart is the central operating system of any human being and human beings right now, and probably tomorrow, are the central operating system of your company and culture." —  Claude Silver About Claude Silver: Chief Heart Officer, Vayner MediaClaude Silver believes showing up with heart and humanity is the key to unlocking greatness in people. As the world's first Chief Heart Officer at Vayner Media, she sees it as her job to infuse empathy into every aspect of the organization. As a speaker, podcaster, and LinkedIn influencer, she's now inspiring other leaders to do the same. At a young age, Claude was repeatedly told she thinks too much with her heart — something she has now learned is her superpower. As a non-traditional learner, she left college after two years and had an epiphany while on a 93-Day Outward Bound trek: it was up to her to change the narrative of her life, and in order to do so, she had to change her thinking. This power has evolved into what Claude calls “Emotional Optimism”: a concept that is key to her Heart-First leadership style. With Claude as Chief Heart Officer, Vayner has grown from a team of 400 to a Global team of 2000. She has proven that empathy plays a role in fueling growth and does everything she can to make each and every human feel safe, seen, valued, and included. This involves taking a hard look at how leadership is showing up, identifying cynicism and toxicity, and taking the crucial steps to flush it out. Claude's success coaching and leading people and guiding client relationships come from a mantra that she teaches to everyone she crosses paths with: “Be someone people want in the room”. Connect with Claude Silver:  Website: http://www.claudesilver.comVaynerMedia: http://www.VaynerMedia.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/casilver/Instagram: https://instagram.com/claudesilver Don't forget to download your free guide!

In the episode, I sit with Rich Cardona and discuss his journey from a US Marine to now a very successful entrepreneur. We talk about transition and why it is hard, Rich also shares why entrepreneurship is hard. About Rich:Rich Cardona is a first-generation American and retired Marine Corps attack helicopter pilot. After getting a Masters in Business Administration out of fear he wouldn't be marketable, he ventured into the traditional workplace and landed a job with Amazon. While he admits the company is the tip of the spear, his experience in fulfillment was extremely unfulfilling. He left, moved into his in-law's basement, and dug down deep to find his true passion that would lead to a fulfilling business. After spending time with and documenting Claude Silver, Vayner Media's Chief Heart Officer, he realized that there was a need for executives like her to become more visible. And the idea was hatched! Rich Cardona Media was born. Today, Rich's team helps executives and entrepreneurs become more visible by using video to create long-term content and social media strategies. Rich has also created a video series and podcast called “The Leadership Locker” where influencers and industry leaders share their expertise with transitioning service members and veteran entrepreneurs.Connecting with Rich Cardona:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramFacebookConnect with Manpreet:LinkedInInstagram

In today's 5 Minute Friday solo-pod, I share the origin and reasoning behind my mantra, "you can't skip steps".  I think a lot of process in building a company, in starting a podcast too, and my work in health tech start ups. Everyone wants to be somewhere they aren't. We assume bigger is better, more is definitely better and it all should have happened yesterday.  Not skipping steps seems tedious, but could there be a more thorough and simple business plan, could there be a more thorough and simple spiritual roadmap?  In this episode, you will learn:  The power of process  The influence my Dad had on me at a young age in not skipping steps What skipping steps can look and feel like  How paying attention to the steps along the way can open up worlds and help you develop new skills  What soft skill Claude Silver says is most important for companies to embrace - hint, it's not radical candor.  Please take the time to rate and review this podcast on Apple podcasts and share with a friend who would benefit.  To learn more about Elisa and The School of Unlearning podcast, follow her on Instagram.  Elisa's Instagram account The School of Unlearning podcast on Instagram To schedule a discovery call with Elisa on Conscious Living and Leadership Coaching, please click here.  Elisa Haggarty is a Conscious Leadership Coach and host of The School of Unlearning Podcast.

Claude silver is the worlds first chief heart officer for Vayner Media which has an ethos of “people first”. Claude's only JD is to touch the hearts of everyone at the company - she is an intuitive, a feeler, and a spiritual being who gets to translator all of that magic into the workplace.  I think you'll find joy, solace and lots of love in this episode as we cover emotions in the workplace, building psychological safety and how soft skills like kindness and patience are the real superstars of company culture. Brew some tea, get your pen and paper out and enjoy this special episode.  In this episode, you will learn:  How Claude's childhood growing up in NYC and Santa Fe  How a game called, “Lead my people” with her Dad influenced her leadership style and worldview  Claude's most influential people growing up  How Claude's childhood and struggles in academics early on shape her emotional capacity and intelligence  How Outward Bound helped shape Claude into a leader What two core learnings remain with Claude to this day: 1. “It's really not about being right, it's about being better, about giving, about creating places where people feel loved.” and 2. “We all have this reservoir of untapped potential inside of us. What are we going to do about it?”  The power of our internal narrative for mental health and how it shapes the way we show up in the world.  Anything that I do that is not in love, that's fear. How Claude always finds a way to see the light within darkness What spiritual practices resonate work for Claude  David Whyte's work in corporations, and his book, “The Heart Aroused: The Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America”  The word culture comes from the word cul-ture, which means “cultivate of the soul”.  On being a human: “It's the biggest gift of all, and every single day, every single hour is a surprise. It's the biggest gift of all.”  How there is no business success without the people.  How emotional regulation, gratitude and patience are the soft skills that need more press and attention.  How self-compassion is a core unlearning and relearning for Claude “If companies could unlearn priorities, where they put their time and energy and heart, they would unlock the people.
