Robin Zander hosted a Snafu webinar for the Sidebar community on non-sales selling—think self-promotion for career transitions, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and product people. The goal: learn to "sell yourself" without the ick factor. Participants shared fears: follow-ups feel intimidating, sales feels slimy, and success seems like a numbers game. Robin reframed it: selling is really about enrollment—being a chief evangelist for your work, not begging for attention. Drawing on stories from his childhood pumpkin patch, his time as a personal trainer (where desperation lost him clients), and opening Robin's Cafe in San Francisco (raising $40k, serving multiple stakeholders, training staff with Danny Meyer's principles), he showed the difference between selling from need vs. service. Long-term success comes from genuine connection, curiosity, optimism, and passion. Attendees explored their "authentic attitude" and reflected on times self-promotion felt good versus slimy. Exercises included mapping all the people who benefit from your work—employees, customers, managers, mentees, community—and practicing generosity in selling (a "Miracle on 34th Street" mindset: help customers even if it means sending them elsewhere). In Q&A, Robin tackled: Asking for promotions as modeling for others, especially women and minorities Persistence in follow-ups (yes, emailing Mark Benioff 53 times counts) Relationship-based enterprise selling Avoiding fear-based AI marketing by knowing who you serve and what problem you solve Recommended reading: Setting the Table (Danny Meyer), Unreasonable Hospitality (Will Guidara), The New Strategic Selling. Robin also shared upcoming Snafu conference details (March 5, Oakland Museum of California) and reminded everyone: Snafu = situation normal; all fucked up. 00:00 Start 01:06 Audience Fears About Selling Robin Zander welcomes 93 participants to the webinar Notes the session is interactive with exercises planned Encourages participants to drop questions in chat or interrupt him Last 15–20 minutes reserved for questions Robin introduces himself briefly Focuses on storytelling as a tool for self-promotion Shares experience as a community builder Runs a conference called Responsive since 2016 (not Snafu) Tools, structures, and company cultures for resilient organizations Two-day event each September on the future of work Focus on building resilience in organizations Observations on rapid change Technology and work-life changes happening at a fast pace Questions about resilience in individuals Traits needed in careers, personal relationships, professional relationships Ability to stay resilient through change Robin frames his expertise Emphasizes his strength in asking questions and fostering honest conversations Labels himself a reluctant salesperson Not the world's leading expert on self-promotion or selling Key lessons from research and interviews Two buckets matter in business and life: Example: Sidebar community forming coalitions for learning and action Operational excellence: being competent and at least as good as others Promotion/enrollment/sales: standing up, saying what you want, building coalitions Started interviewing people about influence and persuasion Started a weekly newsletter called Snafu Written by hand, not AI Shares lessons from his life and others about self-promotion and resilience Focus on courage to take action: raising hand, offering something valuable Core characteristics of self-promotion and selling yourself Connecting with others: art of connection Courage to ask: inspired by Amanda Palmer's TED Talk and book The Art of Asking Opposes traditional "always be closing" sales mentality Advocates for simply asking for what you want Current work mostly involves storytelling for large companies Clients include Supersonic, Airbnb, Zappos, and others 12:25 Service as the Core Principle Robin introduces the concept of storytelling for self-promotion Stories used to: Get promotions Build coalitions Propel career or organizational growth Emphasizes turning personal, career, or company stories into "commercials" Focus of today's talk: self-promotion with impact Core principle: service Showing up from a place of helping others Through helping others, also helping oneself Distinguishes between sleazy salespeople and effective self-promoters Childhood anecdote: Robin's pumpkin patch Tended plants all summer, learned responsibility and care Harvested pumpkins and sold them using a small red tin box labeled "money" Ran "Robin's Pumpkin Patch" for five to seven years At age five, father had him plant pumpkin seeds Engaged neighborhood kids for fun, collaborative promotion Explained product (pumpkins) enthusiastically to potential buyers Used scarecrow costumes and creative gestures to attract attention Lessons learned from pumpkin patch: Authentic enthusiasm creates value Helping people do what they were already inclined to do Early experience of earning and serving simultaneously Self-promotion is most effective when it's service-driven, not manipulative Applying childhood lesson to career and business Asking for a raise Persuading companies to choose one service over another Promoting oneself or others (e.g., Evan, web developer) Key principle: approach self-promotion from delight and service, not need or fear Authentic enthusiasm as foundation for: Interactive exercise for participants Not influenced by sleep deprivation or stress Could be inspired by childhood or adult experiences Opposite of fear; personal and unique for each participant Question posed: what is your authentic attitude when self-promoting? Examples shared from participants: Curiosity Passion Inspiration Service to others Observation Possibility Insight Value Helping others Creativity Belief in serendipity Optimism Key takeaway from exercise and story Promoting from delight, enthusiasm, and service Promoting from need or fear Two versions of self-promotion: Effective self-promotion aligns with authenticity and enthusiasm, creating value for others while advancing oneself 18:36 Gym Job and Needy Selling Robin shares the next story and sets up the next exercise Gym culture is sales-heavy Initial motivation: love of fitness, desire to help people Quickly realizes environment incentivizes personal trainers to sell aggressively Timeframe: ~20 years later, at age 20, moved to San Francisco First post-college job: personal trainer in gyms Early experience at gyms Key lesson from early failure Selling from need feels gross Promoting oneself from fear or desperation leads to poor results Recognizes similarity to unwanted sales calls received personally First authentic success in self-promotion Worked at Petro and World's Gym in San Francisco, Pilates instructor Owner confronted Robin after two weeks: no clients, potential clients being lost to others Threatened termination by Friday if no clients acquired Robin froze under pressure, approached clients but with needy, desperate energy Outcome: fired by Friday, left gym Encounters man in pain on Valencia Street, offers help as personal trainer Approach comes from genuine care, desire to serve Leads to three-year working relationship, consistent sessions, good income Next client: world-famous photographer Michael Light at UCSF swimming pool Client comes from natural connection, not pushy salesmanship Dichotomy observed: Pushy, need-based self-promotion → freeze, poor results Service-oriented self-promotion → natural connections, sustained relationships Exercise for participants Prompt: identify two moments: One time self-promoting felt slimy → what were you doing? One time self-promoting felt good → what were you doing differently? Two-minute reflection / chat participation Participant reflections/examples Slimy examples: Interviewing for a job during layoffs, giving desperate energy Selling P&L at a hyperscaler Selling computers and printers in UK post-college Sales emails getting ghosted Feeling inauthentic or performative, taking advantage of someone Good examples: Offering services out of care and love rather than ROI Showing impact of work to junior child Knowing services add real value and solve a challenge Being clear on what the other person needs Key takeaway Self-promotion feels different depending on intent and knowledge Slimy → desperate, inauthentic, unclear value to recipient Authentic → service-driven, clear value, connection-focused Effective self-promotion combines knowing your value and serving others, not just pushing for personal gain 25:35 Miracle on 34th Street Lesson Feeling good in self-promotion comes from genuinely helping, solving problems, and sharing information Santa Claus hired at Macy's to hold kids and give candy canes, but real goal: persuade parents to buy from Macy's Santa instead sends parents to competitor to truly serve them Macy's manager initially furious Outcome: customers feel genuinely served, return praising Macy's, become loyal fans Robin references Miracle on 34th Street (original version) Key insight: providing real value, even if it benefits someone else, eventually returns value to you "Put enough bread across the water, eventually good things come back" Participant reflections Slimy: knowing audience expects judgment, catering to them for approval Good: giving the gift of knowledge, providing service freely Takeaway: authentic self-promotion is rooted in service, generosity, and sharing expertise, not manipulating for immediate gain 27:45 Starting Robin's Cafe Through Service Robin shares a major professional turning point: opening Robin's Cafe in 2016 No restaurant experience beyond college busing tables Opened in three weeks, eventually grew to 15 employees by 2018 Worked in multiple industries: Pumpkin patch, personal trainer, circus performer Opened a café/restaurant in Mission District, San Francisco Courage and conviction came from clear focus on service to others Employees: create a great workplace, go-giver culture Investors: $40k raised from friends/family, provided value and potential return Landlords (ODC, nonprofit dance center): wanted success of business to support community Customers: diverse—tech workers, kids in dance classes, local community Robin himself: financial sustainability, learning, personal growth Key audiences served by Robin's Cafe Approach to challenges Used Danny Meyer's Setting the Table as a service-focused framework for employees Philosophy: "giving in order to get paid" Examples: spouse, kids, dog, manager, peers, mentees, clients, community, customers, extended family, mentors Served multiple stakeholders during crises: break-ins, flooding, city permitting, neighborhood issues Exercise: identify all the people who benefit from your work or success Key idea: the more stakeholders served, the easier self-promotion becomes, because it comes from service, not need or pressure Show up thinking: does this serve the person I'm talking to? Principle: selling yourself from a place of service Consider multiple stakeholders simultaneously Audience question: elaborate on applying this service mindset specifically to asking for a promotion Tying service to self-promotion in career advancement Result: asking for a raise, applying for jobs, pitching clients—all easier and more authentic 38:11 Promotion As Service Asking for a promotion from a place of service Example: doing the role already, deserving recognition, asking for what you believe you've earned. Personal perspective: advocating for yourself is a form of service to yourself Recognize other stakeholders in the process: Modeling courage and advocacy for the next generation Authority enables ideas to be taken more seriously Stories gained from new responsibilities enhance value to clients or teams People you mentor, especially women or underrepresented groups The organization: your promotion can make it stronger Your family or children: showing them what it looks like to advocate Concrete examples Outcome: trajectory of career positively influenced, demonstrated courage, modeled behavior Asking first time for a manager role Later asking for VP title as a director Courage and small steps Courage = acting despite fear, not absence of fear Practice by taking incremental steps toward what scares you Avoid masking or hesitation; direct action builds confidence and results Persistence and follow-up Busy people require patience and multiple nudges Example: Mark Stubbings emailing Mark Benioff 53 times before a yes Persistence = respectful, consistent follow-ups Role modeling for women and minorities Demonstrates that asking is a normal, expected, and service-oriented act Many don't ask for promotions or raises due to upbringing or cultural norms Modeling advocacy teaches the next generation, including children, to speak up Service mindset in practice Approach self-promotion by asking: is this good for the other person? Keep intention aligned with service, not desperation Books for guidance: Setting the Table – Danny Meyer: service-driven sales and employee culture Unreasonable Hospitality – Will Guidara: lessons from the restaurant world on giving value and delight Key takeaways for promotion and asking Serve yourself, your mentees, your organization, and your broader audience Take small, courageous steps to ask for what you deserve Follow up respectfully and consistently; don't assume silence = no Self-promotion becomes easier and authentic when rooted in service, not fear or need Snafu Newsletter Weekly newsletter written by Robin Covers influence, persuasion, and modern workplace dynamics A resource for ongoing learning and practical insights 56:55 Where to Find Robin Robin's newsletter covers influence, persuasion, and modern work.

This episode is brought to you by B2B Better. Ross helps businesses prove that their marketing is driving revenue — and that's exactly the problem we help B2B service businesses solve with video-first podcasts. We build content systems that don't just generate attention, they generate pipeline your sales team can actually point to. Visit b2bbetter.com to see how we do it differently. Your thought leadership campaign is running. People are watching, listening, and engaging — but when your CFO asks if it's actually driving revenue, you've got nothing to say. In this episode of Pipe Dream, host Jason Bradwell sits down with Ross Breckenridge, Managing Director of Breckenridge and HubSpot Platinum Partner, to tackle the attribution problem that almost every B2B marketing team has but nobody wants to admit. Ross's core point is clear: this isn't a marketing problem. It's a business problem. Until your marketing, sales, and customer success teams are operating from a single unified strategy and a single tech stack, you'll never get the visibility you need. The conversation starts where Ross always starts with clients: customer journey mapping. Before you touch an attribution model, you need to understand where each content asset sits in the buying process — lead gen, nurture, sales enablement, or renewals. Most companies skip this step and end up measuring the wrong things entirely. From there, Ross unpacks the dark funnel and explains why the HubSpot Campaigns tool is the home of the marketer's attribution reporting. Bundle your content assets into one campaign, track who was created as a new contact and who was simply influenced along the way, and map that all the way through to closed-won revenue — including renewals that happen two years after someone first engaged. But none of it works if sales is living in a different system. The connection between content and revenue only becomes visible when marketing, sales, and customer success are using the same tools and held to the same SLAs. One client found that leaving a lead for more than 48 hours dropped their conversation rate from 70% to 20%. That kind of clarity only exists when everyone is looking at the same data. If you're tired of defending your content budget with correlation and vibes, this episode gives you the framework to fix it for good.

In this episode of The Relationship Renaissance Podcast, the focus shifts to a deeper layer of intimacy inside of an FLR. A submissive man does not create his wife's authority, nor does he bestow confidence upon her. Her power is her own. The question is whether his behavior reinforces it or quietly erodes it. This conversation explores how a man's emotional steadiness, restraint, reverence, and self-awareness can contribute to her confidence rather than compete with it. Connecting with a woman in such a meaningful manner is the real key to heating things up in a relationship.“Docile” returns with unfiltered reflections from his own marriage, sharing moments where he learned to support his wife's Dominance without centering himself in the process. He speaks about the difference between anxious submission and grounded devotion, about how insecurity can destabilize a dynamic, and about how attuned presence can intensify it. Heating things up is alignment, not performative theatrics. When a man learns how to touch a woman's heart and soul through respect, consistency, and emotional discipline, the intimacy deepens naturally and the dynamic becomes stronger, more charged, and more secure.--www.AlisaCoaches.com

There's an easy button for hard conversations now, and it's dangerously good. You've got something complicated to say. It needs nuance. It needs empathy. It probably needs a little courage. The AI will draft the whole thing in seconds. It sounds smart. It sounds reasonable. You skim it. You send it. And most of the time, nothing bad happens. The problem is that the time it does go bad is the exact situation where you thought you were being thoughtful. This week's Raw Data walks straight through one of those moments, from both sides of the exchange, and it's a reminder that outsourcing the structure of your thinking is not the same thing as being clear. Then there's the part that's almost more interesting. Thirteen years ago, the first real client engagement couldn't get traction around dashboards. The connection between "this is my business" and "data should change how I run it" just didn't stick. Same people, same company, different conversation recently around AI. Immediate traction. Leaning forward. Connecting dots in real time. That difference isn't about better slides or better storytelling. Dashboards improved a slice of the business. AI shows up in the messy motion of the whole thing. In workflows. In manual processes. In strategic questions leaders don't have time to chase down. That shift in surface area changes everything. AI isn't a toy and it isn't a ghostwriter. It's leverage. Real leverage. The kind that can remove friction across an organization faster than dashboards ever could. But leverage only works if you're still the one steering. That's really what this episode comes down to. Listen in, then decide where AI belongs in your workflow and where it needs to stay out of your head.
Is there a right and wrong way to perform a home inspection? In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most debated topics in the home inspection industry — whether there are absolute truths when it comes to inspection standards, reporting methods, and professional judgment. And there's nobody better than Joey McPeek of Peek Home Inspections to speak on the topic. Well known and well respected in the Boise real estate market, Joey's build a reputation for shooting straight... and also pushing back on conventional home inspection norms. We discuss: ✔ Are there objective "right" and "wrong" ways to inspect a home? ✔ How much interpretation is involved in a home inspection report? ✔ Standards of Practice vs. personal inspection style ✔ Risk management and liability considerations ✔ Should the home buyer be present during the inspection? ✔ Pros and cons of buyer attendance at inspections From buyer presence at inspections to gray areas in defect evaluation, this episode explores how inspectors balance professionalism, liability, ethics, and client education. Whether you're a new home inspector, a seasoned professional, considering entering the inspection industry, or a homebuyer wondering what to expect during an inspection... this conversation breaks down the realities behind "right vs wrong" in the field, challenges assumptions, and explores how to balance ethics, standards, communication, and client expectations. If you're serious about improving your inspection process, client communication, and professional standards, this conversation is for you.

Are you feeling more tired, anxious, or “off” in midlife — and wondering what's really going on? What if it's not just stress or aging, but a deeper hormonal shift affecting your entire body? Midlife doesn't have to feel like everything is slowing down. In this powerful episode, longevity and anti‑aging expert Dr. Sofia Din joins Anthony Hartcher to unpack “the pause” — the hormonal shift that impacts both women (perimenopause & menopause) and men (andropause). Dr. Din explains why this phase affects energy, sleep, metabolism, mood, gut health, libido, skin, immunity, and cognitive clarity — and why modern medicine often overlooks the deeper root causes. You'll learn: ✨ What menopause really is (beyond reproductive changes) ✨ Why men also experience a hormonal pause ✨ How hormonal shifts affect every system in the body ✨ Why anxiety, weight changes & fatigue are so common in midlife ✨ The role of HRT, peptides & regenerative medicine ✨ The impact of gut health after age 50 ✨ Smart lifestyle habits to support healthspan and vitality ✨ Healthy alternatives to alcohol for managing perimenopausal anxiety Dr. Din also shares her holistic approach to helping clients move from pause back into flow, while supporting longevity, strength, and wellbeing. About Dr. Sofia DinDr. Sofia Din, MD, is a New York–based, board-certified family physician with 25+ years of experience and specialized training in geriatrics and hospital medicine. After years of treating chronic disease, she shifted toward proactive health optimization—focusing on longevity, hormone balance, regenerative and aesthetic medicine.Trained in both Pakistan and the United States, Dr. Din blends Eastern and Western approaches to help patients take agency over how they age. She is the author of Do We Really Need Botox? and is passionate about empowering people to extend their healthspan, beautyspan, and vitality.

Small business ownership is widely celebrated for fueling innovation and community prosperity. Yet beneath the ambition and daily execution lies a critical and under-recognized leadership challenge: the mental health strain on owners themselves. This episode unpacks research showing how stress, isolation, and burnout are not “personal issues” but systemic factors that impact decision-making, resilience, performance, and organizational culture. Mental health must move from a private burden to a strategic leadership priority. Key Research & Findings 1. The Hidden Health Burden of Ownership Based on Nav's report surveying more than 1,000 U.S. small business owners. Nearly half (48%) report their business consumes so much attention it detracts from life outside work. Stress, fatigue, and anxiety are widespread: 53% identify stress as a common health impact. Over 40% report fatigue and anxiety. 36% experience headaches tied to work demands. A full third say they've experienced mental health challenges significant enough to warrant professional support — yet nearly half have not accessed it. 2. Why This Matters for Leadership Mental health strain affects more than the individual owner: It reduces decision clarity and confidence in high-stakes moments. It undermines resilience in volatile cash flow, competitive shifts, or market unpredictability. It bleeds into culture, performance, and long-term viability when leaders are mentally depleted. 3. Systemic Stressors in Small Business Owners must act as generalists — juggling finance, operations, sales, HR, and leadership simultaneously — with financial stress clearly leading as the top pressure point. Unlike traditional jobs, ownership often lacks daily psychological detachment, making recovery moments (rest, time off) rare and difficult. What Owners Are Already Doing Despite the strain: Many apply individual coping strategies: Exercise, mindfulness practices. Connecting with family/friends. Yet these efforts are undermined by structural barriers: Many owners haven't taken a full week off in more than three years. Cost concerns and self-reliance discourage professional support. Leadership & HR Imperatives 1. Mental Health Literacy is Leadership Literacy Leaders must build fluency in recognizing stress, burnout, and psychological fatigue — not as deficits of character, but as systemic outcomes of ownership. 2. Culture Design with Mental Health as Strategy Mental health needs to be explicitly integrated into leadership conversations, not limited to “well-being perks.” This means shaping organizational norms that: Normalize help-seeking. Intentionally embed recovery rhythms (time off, boundary setting). Build structural supports consistent with sustainable leadership. 3. Shift from Personal Burden to Organizational Priority Treating mental health as an individual issue misses the systemic impact on performance, resilience, and long-term success. Takeaways for Executives & Founders Reframe mental health as a strategic performance factor — not a personal aside. Design leadership practices that institutionalize psychological recovery. Expand support systems beyond fitness or mindfulness programs to include coaching, peer networks, and professional access. Measure and reflect on how mental strain affects decisions, productivity, and culture. Discussion Questions (for Leadership Roundtables or Workshops) In what ways is owner mental health currently visible or invisible in your organization's leadership ecosystem? What structural barriers (e.g., time off, cultural norms, resource allocation) are preventing small business owners from accessing support? How can leaders create deliberate practices that embed psychological recovery into the rhythm of work?

What if the root of your anxiety or self-doubt is a spiritual wound you didn't even know you had? In this episode, Taylor Paige joins Krista to break down the “spirit wound”—why so many of us feel disconnected from our own intuitive power + how reclaiming it changes everything. Taylor Paige, a sought-after evidential medium, shares her personal journey—from crippling fear of the dark to leading packed workshops that empower women to contact their guides directly. Plus, learn why you might fear your own intuitive gifts, from media programming to religion, and more. Taylor teaches practical, life-changing tools for releasing fear, healing old narratives, and stepping boldly into your purpose. This conversation is your permission slip to ditch external validation + ignite your spiritual self-trust—so you can manifest abundance, clarity, and true peace within. We also talk about: The psychology behind why we fear the dark + how it blocks your power How Hollywood + media reinforce spiritual disempowerment Overcoming religious trauma + rewriting your story with God What evidence-based mediumship actually looks like (hint: it's not “storytime”) The myth of “evil spirits” + how to genuinely feel safe Establishing boundaries with energies + why your intuition is the ultimate guide Tangible steps to heal from anxiety, religious programming, and lack of self-trust “Sitting in the Power”—a transformative practice for connecting with Spirit How energetic sensitivity is actually a sign of spiritual gifts, not weakness Connecting with your spirit guides (plus what everyone gets wrong about them) Resources: You can connect with Taylor on Instagram @angels_and_amethyst, and find her offerings on her website www.angelsandamethyst.com.
