Podcasts about connection economy

In today's Think Thursday episode, we're diving into one of the most powerful, yet often overlooked, tools for behavior change: human connection. We're not just talking about any connections, but deep, meaningful relationships—the kind that profoundly shape our brain, our well-being, and even our relationship with alcohol.We'll explore what I call the “Connection Economy”, where investing in quality relationships provides neurological, emotional, and physical benefits.

“Everything you want in life is a relationship away.” - Idowu Koyenikan “You are one great new connection away from a transformational change in your business.” - Nicky Billou Business is about people and cultivating connections. Fortunately, you probably have many more connections that you thing you do. This episode will help show you how to find and connect with the many people already in your network. We also hear about the necessity for offline connections and what it looks like to cultivate those relationships. Ultimately, this is how you grow your business while simultaneously contributing to your community in a powerful way.   Today's episode was taken from Nicky's and Perry Wong's new book, How To Create A Million Dollar A Year Income: The Priceless Guide For Insurance Agents, Sales Professionals, And Anyone With A Big Dream.

How do you level up your marketing and maximize what's working now that helps you call in high-level and high-quality clients? In this new episode of Raise Your Game podcast, I teach business owners how to call in high-end clients who are willing and ready to pay $30K or more. Identify the top mistakes that you are most likely doing that stalls you from growing your business and the tested and proven strategies that have made so many millionaires in our camp!  Don't be like most high achievers who are gung ho on Day 1 but burn out quickly from doing so many EXTRA things that don't actually make money.  Stop being average, become impeccable with your word, and finish what you started.  Key points we covered in this episode: ✔️ The first mistake an entrepreneur can make is using engagement to indicate your success. The majority of my highest invested clients never commented on a single post. They weren't the ones liking or clapping on everything that I did, but they were paying attention — AND when the time was appropriate, they reached out, or they simply showed up on my calendar. ✔️ Discover the essential techniques in my armory that made me $1,000,000 in 2020 — the Messenger Money Method, P.O.W Posting, Hit List Strategy, and the RAPID Connection Method. ✔️ You will never achieve the results you seek UNTIL you decide to jump right into the cycle of failing and succeeding and failing and succeeding while making money in the process. Nobody ever succeeds by just watching or waiting for things to happen.  ✔️ Connection is the currency right now because we've been separated for so long by technology. When building a relationship with a new friend who can potentially become a client, wouldn't you prefer to make them smile or laugh or even cry when they hear of your authentic and relatable experiences? People are over "high-tech, low-touch," and they're craving real human connections because we haven't had that in quite a time.    ✔️ The biggest way you're doing Messenger wrong is cold messaging people. People are saying that direct messaging is DEAD. Let me tell you — it's dead in the form of how people do it in a wrong way. Sending 50 to 300 messages a day doesn't make sense! But it can be effective if you do it with the right mindset, especially now in what I call a "Connection Economy."    ✔️ You want to stretch the edge of your comfort zone. My training programs level up YOU, your BUSINESS MODEL, your MARKETING, and ultimately your INCOME. So lean into the discomfort of the things I teach you to do because the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Remember, results don't take time; they take courage! Your readiness to dare is the fastest way to the results that you want to create today.  ------------------------------------------------------------------ Get Ready for High-Level Mentorship that Gets Results ==> CommandMoreSales.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ Loved this episode?

Will You Dare to Fly Too High? This episode explores the powerful social story that controls many of our lives today. It is a story that demands our obedience, our conformity, our silence, and our willingness to destroy our dreams that challenge the status quo. It is a story that made the industrial age and corporate culture dominant for many decades. It is a story that is disintegrating. But, it still hold son to us and stops us from creating, growing, and standing out. In 2020, we are living in the Connection Age , the Connection Economy. To be fully alive in this new and exciting time, we must not conform. We must, instead, find the courage to create art. I'm not talking about paintings, or sculptures, or music. You may create those. But, art, in the Connection Age, means your unique authentic voice, your STORY. These liberating ideas are from a wonderful book, The Icarus Deception, by Seth Godin. You deserve to listen to this episode. It will help you unleash your pure, strong, authentic voice. It will help you give yourself full permission to create, stop worrying about others' approval, and, ultimately, feel fully alive.

Amie and James talk about why this is the best time in history to be a creative. They discuss the opportunities of the modern connection economy and what it means for you.

This episode is dedicated to the elements that make a great connection economy entrepreneur. How to differentiate yourself from your competition through the value your proposition provides. The importance of valuing your work, seeking meaning in everything you do along with the importance of the customer experience and how to differentiate yourself through that.

Hosted by Jason Black and Stephen Barnes, we dive into the first episode of the series introducing the connection economy, discussing how the way consumers are ready to be communicated is different from how companies actually engage with them. After 7-8 years of research on how the internet really works and what the connection economy is becoming, four trends were recognised, they come from the thoughts of Stephen's intellectual heroes; Seth Godin, Kevin Kelly, Charlie Munger and Don Tapscott. All of this led to a business plan that incorporates those ideas and anticipates the dynamics of the connection economy where ultimately what you are doing is answering people's questions, helping to solve problems and you tell your own story, so that the party you want to communicate with can understand what you are all about so that they can have a relationship with you based on authenticity and trust.

Show Notes: This season we are going to be talking about Healthy Habits so that we can feel younger and healthier. When we talk about what we eat, we all seem to have a method and an opinion. We are in the day and age of personalization — and this extends to diet. “I’m a vegan,” or “I’m into paleo,” or “I need to eat animal flesh to function.” Around here, we’re less interested in labels and we’re more interested in the relationship between humans and the plants that feed us. In this habit, we turn our attention to taking your relationship between plants and your body to the next level of integration. Eating a plant-based diet is about the relationship between our outer ecosystem, where our food grows, and our inner ecosystem. How you source your body’s energy and what you build your body’s tissue out of is of obvious importance. We each have the opportunity to nourish and nurture ourselves from the outside in... and from the inside out. The first activity is to check out where you are in the spectrum of how you feed yourself. Once you know where you are starting, the next action step reveals itself on your path to a healthier and more conscious body. Next, investigate your relationship between your body and where you source your energy. You’ll become more aware of the exchange of consciousness, energy, and nutrients between the bodies of plants and your body. It’s a process full of nourishment — not deprivation. This relationship with our food and nature is very deeply tied to stress. Nature is trying to feed you. If we have the world view that life itself is nourishing, then we can’t really experience stress. The more connected we are to nature, the more connected we are to the plants, and the more nourishing we are to plants, then the more we understand that nature is trying to feed us. Foraging and Feasting: A Field Guide and Wild Food Cookbook by Dina Falconi describes the lost art of turning locally gathered wild plants into nutritious, delicious meals - a tradition long practiced by our ancestors but neglected in modern times. Do you know which local plants and flowers are edible in your local ecosystem? Eat the poppies. They're edible. It’s like “Wow, there is more! Nature is trying to feed me. All I have to do is tap in and get connected.” Where do you feel it in your body? When you go to the grocery store or to the farmers market to shop for your fruits and vegetables, go to the ones that are calling you. Go to the ones that you feel in your body that you want, and then buy those. “Your body knows before your mind does.” Connection Economy is all about your connection, your nourishment. At different levels of consciousness, we start to desire different levels of consciousness from our food. Let’s talk about programming and patterning: How many of us were programmed, at a young age, to accept some really damaging things, like “eat everything that you’re served”, “don’t waste food because there are starving kids in Africa”, “you can’t leave the table until you’ve finished everything on your plate”, “eat it even if you don’t like it because I made it for you”, “if you don’t eat the food I made for you then you must not love me or care about me”, “I slaved all day cooking for you so you better eat all of it”? Do any of these ring true for you? Do you feel nourished by your diet? Has it always been this way? Was there a pivot? What was one of your pivots? When we talk about nourishment, connection, and abundance, most of us were not taught this. We were taught so many words that don’t have immediate resonate with our bodies; they’re words that the sensual body doesn’t communicate with such as calories, carbs, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats. Let’s review the six tastes in Ayurveda. They are sweet, salty, sour, pungent, bitter, and astringent. When your doshas are out of balance, these six tastes can help you repair this imbalance. If you are healthy, Ayurveda advises you to include each of these six tastes in your diet. These six tastes will bring you into contact with the five elements and, in turn, these elements are the components of your body and your entire nature. If you’re missing a taste in a meal, you won’t feel nourished. And then you will crave that taste later, leading to snacking between meals and over eating. Plants want to nourish us. As they nourish us, we nourish them. Plants can help heal us. As they do, we can help to provide a thriving environment for the plants. It’s a co-creative communal connecting relationship. Dirt is a good movie. It explores the relationship between humans and soil, including its necessity for human life and impacts by society. Forks Over Knives is another good movie. It advocates a plant-based diet as a way to avoid or reverse several chronic diseases. People don’t feel that nourished. Some people have fear around food. They are so disconnected that they react to foods. They can’t change anything. Their immune systems are more broken down. The 3 stages of diets: In stage 1, the Standard American Diet, you eat vegetables, fruit, meat, dairy, wheat, processed foods, refined sweeteners, and standard whole foods. You may use alcohol, caffeine, marijuana or nicotine on daily basis. Most food comes from outside your ecosystem, from mega farms. GMO’s and petrochemicals are in the foods, which create internal pollution and cellular confusion. There is a large carbon footprint per nutrient value. There is a lot of disconnect and addiction. When we bless our food, we feel connected. When we don’t feel connected, we often have addictions to try to help us feel connected. Did you grow up saying grace at mealtimes? In Ayurveda, it is typical to bless the land for providing the food, to bless the farmers for growing the food and collecting it from the crops, to bless the person who cooked the food for us (if we didn’t cook it ourselves). This is done at each meal along with taking a moment to close our eyes, take a deep breath in and out, and say “Namaste” (the light in me sees the light in you). In stage 2, the Whole Foods Diet, you eat less and less processed food over time. You’re steering away from canned, packaged and frozen foods, and you’re choosing fresh foods more often. You know how to prepare food that is simple and nourishing. You are curious about adding different plants to your diet. You eat fruits and vegetables daily. You may garden or sprout to get fresher nutrients. You may be involved in a CSA, food co-op, or farmer’s market. In stage 3, the Plant Based Diet, you may eat mostly green vegetables, root vegetables, fruits, seeds. You may eat some grains, legumes, nuts, and animals — but in less quantity over time. You prepare most of the food you eat — and intuitively know what your body wants and needs. You get food at farmer’s markets, or a CSA. You know what plants thrive in your ecosystem and extend their immune system to you. You know where your food comes from. You eat what makes your body feel good regardless of the social situation. You find you don’t need as much food as you get older. You leave room for space while eating and between meals. You like to sprout your sprouts, culture your veggies, and grow edible plants in or in and around your home. You enjoy learning from people who are playing their edge with diet. When we are eating from our own ecosystem, those plants are healing. They are hardy and they make us feel more hardy. They make us feel more safe and more relaxed. They boost our immune system, and we don’t have to get flu shots. We are building strength from our ecosystem. Are you feeling nourished, and are you eating from your own ecosystem? Ask yourself if you can you identify each part of the plant in everything you ate yesterday. If you can’t, then it’s processed. What are some of the mental and emotional patterns associated with this? It’s like a war going on in your head. “I know I shouldn’t eat this” but some part of your body accepts it. There are so many chemicals added that there is an addiction. There is so much confusion. You may need a detox. The easiest way to detox is to start adding more of the good stuff, the greens. Basically, more plants and less processed foods.  Are you starting to feel a shift toward automation with your habits? Good habits are not decisions, but rather are automatic routines based on prior conscious decisions. Automation frees up a lot of energy. Resistance comes up all the time. The resistance isn’t you, it comes from outside of you. It is probably negative and not in alignment with your fundamental goals. It doesn’t matter what the resistance or the physical body says, for example, it’s time to get up and exercise. The payoff worksheet goes deep to help you see why some habits are harder to change and what their relationship is to the resistance. For podcast listeners, I have created an awesome download to help you keep track of the plant species you eat. This will help you add more species into your diet, slowly but surely, which is the way we build healthy (and sustainable) habits. And, as promised, I have a second download for you, listing the benefits of eaing a plant-based diet. This would be a good one to print out and display in a place where you will see it at least once a day, helping you to build your habit of eating more of a plant-based diet.
