When I began making jewelry 20+ years ago, sharing about your craft wasn't a thing unless you had peers close by willing to talk openly. There seemed to be an underlying fear that if you shared information, whether it was on a technique or a stone supplier, you may find this person doing similar work in the future. Does that happen? Well, I'm not going to lie... it's happened to me a handful of times and it really stung, especially since I believe in sharing.   Thankfully with platforms like Instagram and YouTube information is much more accessible and we can follow and form relationships with our peers. I found April Ottey on Instagram a year or two ago and I saw that she taught classes on organic casting in her area. I reached out to her to see if she did any online teaching because I really was struggling with my own organic casting. Unfortunately for me, she didn't teach online, but I took a chance and asked her if she might be willing to answer a couple questions in exchange for payment. She generously answered my questions while repeatedly ignoring my offer to pay her for her knowledge.  Although we didn't have many exchanges after that, I sensed April was the kind of person I would love to get to know better, so I was thrilled when she agreed to come on the show. April is so very kind and supportive... and this is what I think of when I think about the value of being in community with others. As artists and makers we can all benefit from a healthy community. About April... April Ottey is an artist living in Port Townsend, WA.  She has her studio a stones throw from Discovery Bay where she creates contemporary jewelry inspired by the natural world. Her close up inspection of various stages of birth, growth, death and decay in forests, rivers and beaches has shaped who she is as an artist. She casts, fabricates and incorporates the textures and intricate shapes found in nature to create jewelry that places nature into a new context.  April's work can be found in various galleries throughout the Northwest.  She is a member of the Northwest Designer Craftsmen Guild and the Seattle Metals Guild .   She has an MFA from Central Washington University and an undergraduate degree from Montana State University.  She taught jewelry and metal smithing at an alternative high school 10 years until she decided to pursue her own work full time in 2015.

How did Walt Disney inspire the design of Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain? In this episode of Distory, we head back to Disneyland to learn about how Imagineer Tony Baxter had to adapt the design of the iconic Big Thunder Mountain for a park it wasn't intended for. Along the way, we learn the truth about some fossilized wood, dust off a few old National Geographic magazines for inspiration, and hear the original backstory of Jason Chandler. We also take a side trip to Discovery Bay and explore how Geyser Falls (and then Geyser Mountain) would have tied in thematically with the attraction we know and love today. Kirk takes notes on Kate's begrudging acceptance of a former Disney CEO, Kate waxes poetic about how we view fear in rides and impossibility, and somewhere along the way Missy Elliott's (fictional) influence on Big Thunder's ride layout forever changes the way we view attraction.

Brad Sugars is internationally known as one of the most influential entrepreneurs. Brad is a best-selling author, keynote speaker and the number one business coach in the world. Over the course of his 30 year career as an entrepreneur, Brad has become the CEO of 9 plus companies and is the owner of the multimillion dollar franchise Action Coach. As a husband and father of 5, Brad is equally as passionate about his family as he is about business, that's why Brad is a strong advocate for building a business that works without you so you can spend more time doing what really matters to you. Over the years of starting, scaling and selling many businesses, Brad has earned his fair share of scars. Being an entrepreneur is not an easy road but if you can learn from those who have gone before you, it becomes a lot easier than going at it alone. That's why Brad has created 90 days to revolutionize your life, it's 30 minutes a day for 90 days teaching you his 30 years experience on investing, business and life.   Questions Could you share a little bit about how you got to where you are today? In your bio, it mentioned that at the end of the day, you want to be working in a business that can work without you. Like so many people don't understand that concept. Could you explain what that means? And so, maybe could you share with us, let's say 3 to 4 success principles, or just things that will help to make you be more successful as a business owner or an entrepreneur. Could you share with us I would say maybe, let's move it up to five traits that a leader needs to really grow and develop their people. Where do you get to that point where you're starting to attract really quality people? Is it because of the energy that you're giving out, your leadership style, what makes the right people or attracts the right people to come to you? What's your views on marketing? Is it something that still needs to be occurring to keep present in the customers mind? And if so, based on the fact that marketing has changed so much I would say in the last 10 to 20 years as you've mentioned, which platforms do you focus your marketing on? Could you share with us what's the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely cannot live without in your business? Could you maybe pick one or two that have had a great impact on you over your lifetime? It could be a book you read recently, or even one that you read a very long time ago. What has been your experience, I would say, let's narrow it down to the last one to two years of customer experience. And I know it's a very general and a wide question, but we just want to get an idea of how your experiences has been across different industries, like travelling to a hotel, or airline or restaurant, or even just local stores that you may visit in your community where you live. Could you share with us what's one thing that's going on in your life right now that you're really excited about? Either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. Where can listeners find you online? Before we wrap our interviews up, we always like to ask our guest, do you have a quote or saying that during times of adversity or challenge you'll tend to revert to this quote, it kind of helps get you back on track if for any reason you get derailed.   Highlights   Brad's Journey   Me: Now, even though we read our guest bio, we always like to give the guests an opportunity to share in their own words a little bit about how they got to where they are today. So, could you share a little bit about that with us?   Brad shared that he was born and raised in Australia and moved to the United States, married an American girl. So, they have 5 kids. So, he guesses he's stuck in America now, he's an “Aus” American. Being in every type of business, you name it, he's had it, whether it's service or retail or actually manufacturing. He did manufacture in the food space, he's been across the board, he's an entrepreneur, he buys and builds and sells companies, that's what he does. And teaching became a passion and as mentioned his 90x programme.   When he hit 50, he thought what is he going to do and he built himself a TV studio and he went in and recorded 30 minutes a day, every day of business and then 30 minutes a day every day for life and success principles. And then the same for wealth and thought, “I'm going to give back” and their main company Action Coach, obviously, they're in 83 countries, he knows that coach Marcia in Jamaica there. And across Africa, they have their coaches all across the Caribbean in fact, in the US, they have about 1100 offices around the world doing that. So, 17 books on the subject of business and wealth. So, he guesses he's a prolific at creating books, kids and businesses.   Me: Amazing and for those of our listeners that clearly will not have heard our pre podcast conversation. I met Brad when he came to Jamaica in 2016 and his presentation was amazing. And Coach Marcia, who represents Action Coach in Jamaica, she's also supremely amazing, like everything Brad talks about, she continuously preaches, be, do and have and it's just amazing.   The Concept of Working in a Business That Can Work Without You   So, Brad, could you share with us, I know that your whole life has been surrounded around building businesses and in your bio, it mentioned that at the end of the day, you want to be working in a business that can work without you. Like so many people don't understand that concept. Could you explain what that means?   Brad shared that well, in essence, what they're trying to do is the difference between working for yourself and building a business is two very vastly different things. Working for yourself is building a job for yourself.   Building a business is building something that is an investment that makes money whether you show up or not. So, his definition of a business is a commercial profitable enterprise that works without you.   He learned this early in his career that he was the hardest working person in his business. In some cases, he even took home less money than a lot of the staff in his business and it just didn't seem right to him to work that way. So, he had to learn how to turn his business into something that worked so he didn't have to. See when the business works, the owner doesn't have to. If the business doesn't work, then the owner is generally the hardest working person in the business.   Principles That Will Make You More Successful as a Business Owner or an Entrepreneur   Brad stated that if we're going to go with just 3, it's hard when you've written this many books and taught for this long to pick just 3. So, first he would go, you don't build your business, your people do.   Your job as the owner or the CEO is to build your people, they build your business for you. So, as you educate them, coach them, mentor them, train them. He still remembers 20 or 21, he forgot how old he was, he went to his dad and he said, “You know what, Dad, I just can't get good people.” And he said to him, “Brad, you get the people you deserve. You're an average manager running an average business, the highest caliber person that wants to work for you is average.”   And it's like a big slap in the face. Thanks, dad. But he was right. If I became a great leader, then great people wanted to work for his company. So yeah, he would say that's the first one, build your people, they build your business.   The second he would say, you've got to be great at sales and marketing to be great at business, being the rainmaker, bringing in new business is one of the most important aspects and that's why out of his 17 books, actually his newest, his 18th book is all about marketing as well.   So, it really is about getting the customer in and keeping them for a lifetime, his definition of marketing is profitably buying lifetime customers. So, if he spends 1000 on an ad, and he gets 10 new customers, will it cost him 100 to buy each new customer. So, marketing is about the profitable buying of customers and when people learn it, every dollar out should bring $2 back in type thing. So, we really have to focus on that.   If he could only stick to 3. We will go through a lot more as we get through the day or through the session.   But he would say the third is, be really clear on where you're going with the business. He likes to think of business as something that you finish, you build it so that it eventually runs without you.   So, by what date will you finish the business? By what date will it run without you and then go to work on the business more than in the business type thing. Gerber said that based on his book.   Me: Indeed. So, we have to work on the business and so many business owners, myself included, work in our business and not necessarily on our business. And it kind of goes up and down, sometimes you get it to a point where you are working on the business and then for some reason you get back sucked into the operational activities and you're back in it again. So, it's up and down. But as you mentioned, if you really want to generate wealth, it's to have the business run on its own.   Traits a Leader Needs to Grow and Develop Their People   Me: Now, you mentioned at the beginning, I loved your first point stating that you need to develop and work on your people. And of course, that's all this podcast is about, navigating the customer experience and I preach constantly about the fact that internal customers are so important in a business. Many times, companies focus on the external, but if you don't get it right internally, it's highly unlikely you're going to be able to master it externally. So could you share with us I would say maybe, let's move it up to five traits that a leader needs to really grow and develop their people.   Brad shared that we'll break that into two separate segments. First of all, we'll break it into the difference between management and leadership. Because in a business, you need both management and leadership.   Now management is a system and leadership is an art form, the system of management is designed to do two things. Management should build competency and productivity in the people in your organization. So, build better people like build their competency, build so they can do a good job by training, coaching, mentoring, educating, make sure your people are competent at their job. If there's a lack of competency, there's a lack of management or there's bad management going on.   Productivity is also management. So, it's really about how do you manage people to get a high level of productivity because if you want to double a business, if you want to double your profits, you either have to double the number of people or double the productivity of the existing people, productivity is always faster and easier. And then the flip side then if you look at leadership.   Leadership is also in his opinion about two things. But this is where it's about, if management is sort of the short-term day to day, week to week. Leadership is more than monthly, quarterly, annual and 3 to 5 year type thing where in a leadership scenario, he's looking to create passion and focus. So, the leader's job is really building passion amongst the people and building focus. To be focused, they need to know what they're doing, what are their goals sort of thing. Where are we headed? To be passionate, there has to be more meaning to work than just the paycheck and more meaning to work than just the profitability of the company.   As a Leader, What Attracts the Right People to Come to You   Me: Indeed, indeed. So, we spoke about management and leadership so important. Now, Brad, let's say for example, you had mentioned that you said, your dad said to you, “You attract the people that you deserve.” Where do you get to that point where you're starting to attract really quality people? Is it because of the energy that you're giving out, your leadership style, what makes the right people or attracts the right people to come to you?   Brad stated that all of the above. Plus, recruiting today has to be seen as exactly that recruiting, it's not hiring anymore. Most people don't think of it this way, but what you want to do is you want to be more like a sporting team, they don't go and place an ad and say, “Hey, if you're out of work, apply to come work for us, we really want all of the people that are out of work to apply for us.” No, a sporting team goes and looks for the best player in that position.   Now, most of the best people already have a job, the vast majority of the best people are already working. So, how do you get your job advertisement? How do you get the fact that you are recruiting in front of the right people? And that's where marketing has to kick in. How do you actually invest money in marketing for a job?   Twenty/thirty years ago, people were like, “I just placed the ad and 100 people apply, and I picked the best one.” Not anymore. The way that we have to look at it these days is we have to go searching for the best of the best people, we have to search for them on LinkedIn, we have to search for them through Google, we have to search for them through Facebook, we have to search for them by going through people who know us like.   We often find that the best employees are people that already knew us, they already know our company. So, they might be on our newsletter, or they might be a friend of someone that already works for us. Or they might follow us on social media. So, how are you marketing that position to find the best of the best, and have them at least see that you are recruiting? That's the vital one.   Me: Brilliant, I've never heard someone, I would say reposition it the way how you just repositioned it for us. And you are right. If you take that approach that you've just indicated to us, your father is absolutely right, like on target in terms of attracting the people that you deserve. Because you really want to ensure that you're getting the right people, as you mentioned, using the analogy of a sporting team and getting the best player, because then you will really have a totally impactful and efficient and effective team, which is critical if you really want the business to grow. And as you as you mentioned at the beginning, function without you. I love that.   Views on Marketing   Me: Now, we spoke a little bit about leadership, we spoke a little bit about internal customers. Could you share with us a little bit about marketing? I get a lot of questions sometimes, should we spend a lot of money on marketing and advertising of our business? Shouldn't it be a case where our customers, especially if we're a brand that's already known, we're like a household name. What's your views on marketing? Is it something that still needs to be occurring to keep present in the customers mind? And if so, based on the fact that marketing has changed so much I would say in the last 10 to 20 years as you've mentioned, which platforms do you focus your marketing on?   Brad shared that is a lot of questions in one way, let's see what we can get to. First of all, marketing should be something that never stops. Marketing is the lifeblood of a business. Marketing has two jobs, getting new business and keeping business. So, you got to get them in and you got to keep them in. What's the use of building a database of existing customers and that even assumes that businesses are, you must collect the names, emails, phone numbers, etc. of every single prospect, every single customer in your business, that is the most valuable asset of business has its database of existing customers, its database of prospective customers.   Now, what you need to understand if he goes back to what he said earlier about marketing is it's the job of marketing is to buy customers, to buy new business, to buy new customers is a consistent thing. So, we're getting them in and we're keeping them in, we're looking at lifetime value of a customer, meaning how much are they worth to us over years of buying from us and that's where most businesses don't invest the time and energy because they don't even think about that. When he was in the dog food business, their average customer stayed with them for 3 years, which meant they spent over $3,000 with them and they made over $800 in profit from them. You think about that. If you just thought of your customer as a one off sale, you don't actually make a lot of money from that person, you don't think of it that way. But if you keep them for their lifetime, you'll make a fortune out of that customer.   Now, in order for marketing to really work in this day and age, he thinks the biggest thing we have to understand is that historically, marketing was almost like asking to get married on a first date, we ran an ad, and we asked you to buy straight from the advertisement. In this day and age, it seems stupid to go up to like, “Yanique, if you and I met in a bar, and I walked up and said, You look like a very smart, attentive, wonderful woman, I think you'd be a great mother, why don't we get married?”   That is the dumbest thing you could ever think of, but that's what most marketing is. You've got to actually ask people, “Why don't we have a coffee first? Why don't we get to know each other type thing.” And so, what we call that as you've got to ask prospects to raise their hand, you got to say, “Hey, if you're interested in this, then raise your hand.” And he'll give you a simple example of that.   So, at Action Coach, one of the things they do is a lot of sales training. So, they have a sales training programme for companies. He just did a webinar yesterday on sales training for companies with 20 or more salespeople, so the whole thing was, how do you manage your salespeople? How do you get great results from your salespeople?   So, 84 people showed up to their webinar saying, “I have 20, or more salespeople, I'd like to learn how to manage my salespeople.” By the end of that webinar, out of the 84, 60 of them said, “I would be interested in finding out about the sales training programme.” So not only does he then do the webinar and get 60 people that are interested, but now today on all of his social media will run a post that says, “Just finished my webinar on how you manage a great sales team, how you get your sales team to perform. If you're interested in the recording of the webinar, please type the word webinar below.”   So, he'll probably over the next month or two, get another 200, 300, 400, 1000 people that will type the word webinar. And then you'll have another 1000 people that are interested in their sales training, does that make sense? So, his goal is to start conversations. He teaches conversion rate, because that's important, out of every 10 people that call, how many did you convert?   But marketing really needs to look at conversation rate, what is the rate of conversation, so he doesn't care how many likes, how many comments you get, what he cares about on your social media, on your emails, on everything you do is how many conversations were started by that post.   Me: Indeed, indeed, that makes a great amount of sense. And I guess it doesn't matter the platform, whether it's LinkedIn, or Instagram, or Tik Tok, as long as the conversation is happening, and it's being generated, and there's some buzz and word of mouth around it and there's interest. Yeah.   Brad agreed, 100%.   App, Website or Tool that Brad Absolutely Can't Live Without in His Business   When asked about online resource that he cannot live without in his business, Brad stated that he's was going to say his phone, or Zoom. He's a believer in better levels of communication. He's a believer in high quality conversations more over low quality conversations. People like email, they like their texting, he personally thinks that a phone call or a Zoom call, obviously the highest form of communication is face to face. But he would rather have a phone call than a text message or an email, he would rather do that. And he knows that his kids, having 5 kids, he always end up in this debate. His kids text him and he's like, “Stop texting me. I don't answer your texts. You call me I'm your dad.” But if he wants a great relationship with a customer, it's not going to happen via email, it's not going to happen via texting, it's going to happen by communication at a high level, which is face to face or at least voice to voice.   Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Brad   Me: So, you mentioned that you are on your 18th book, but outside of the books that you've written, I'm sure you have read 1000s of books. So, could you maybe pick one or two that have had a great impact on you over your lifetime? It could be a book you read recently, or even one that you read a very long time ago.   When asked about books that have a great impact on him, Brad shared that he could list off the last set that he just finished reading. The last seven that he just finished reading Marcus Sheridan, They Ask, You Answer, amazing marketing book. Marcus is phenomenal around it. They asked, You Answer. Subscribed, Subscribed is a phenomenal book, his name is Tien Tzuo, a phenomenal book about marketing and the future of it. And then Oversubscribed. So, there's two books, they're both on the words on subscription. So, you can imagine what he's learning about. Daniel wrote a great book on that one.   Blitzscaling, another phenomenal one by Reid Hoffman, he really enjoyed that. The Membership Economy by Robbie Baxter, she's phenomenal. Just loved the work she does. The Business of Belonging, David Spinks, really cool book, really, really cool. And Building Brand Communities, that one there, Charles Vogel with Carrie Jones. So yeah, that's the last 7 books he read. Out of those, he would probably say Marcus's book They Asked, You Answer would be the top of the 7 that he just read. He reads a books a week, so he raced through a lot of books.   How Has Your Experiences Been Across Different Industries   Me: Now, you do travel, I imagine quite a bit, Brad, and you interface with many different organizations across different industries, across different cultures. What has been your experience, I would say, let's narrow it down to the last one to two years of customer experience. And I know it's a very general and a wide question, but we just want to get an idea of how your experiences has been across different industries, like travelling to a hotel, or airline or restaurant, or even just local stores that you may visit in your community where you live.   Brad shared that what's happened is, obviously, COVID changed a lot of the way we perceive the world, it virtualized the world in a way that we would never have thought possible. And that to him, has been a phenomenal thing, the level of virtual nature of the world. He thinks that we have seen a lot of the customer service experience move to more virtualized and that doesn't make it more positive by the way, that just means it's more virtualized.   The average consumer, he thinks has a little more patience at this point, not a lot more but a little more patience at this point. He lives in Las Vegas, he's in the epicentre of sort of customer service mentality, because it's a city based around tourism and Yanique's in Jamaica, in a country where tourism is very high on the agenda sort of thing.   And so, in these markets, we must be customer related. And he'll give you an example of how Vegas is different. People come here to watch a sporting event, or come to a football game or a hockey game, or whatever it might be. And normally, they're used to going to other cities where the local fans hate on the new fans coming to town type thing. Well, in Vegas, they love it when other people come to town, like, “Oh, you're visiting our city. Thanks for doing that. We appreciate you paying our taxes.” They are a hospitality-based city. So, he thinks the customer service experience in Vegas. Now that being said, where he sees the customer service experience moving to is a lot of the removal of humans, if you want to scale a business, you need to remove humans from a lot of the things now, that's because in two ways.   You need to remove humans where they didn't add value. So, for instance, Uber, all Uber really did was remove humans from the hiring a taxi, you remember the days when to get a taxi, you actually had to call a number, that person then gave the address to the dispatcher, the dispatcher then called all the taxis and said, who's in this area. And it took three people to get a taxi to your house, so they just removed the humans. There's a lot of areas where having a human actually detracts from the experience, it doesn't add to the experience, if that makes sense. And so, we're seeing a lot of the customer service experience removing humans where they don't add value.   Me: That does make sense. And I'm so happy that when you started talking about removing humans, I was actually going to ask if you actually think there's no use for humans in customer interactions anymore, but I'm glad you gave the example of Uber and you specifically stated if the human experience or the human being there is not adding value because I do believe that people genuinely still want human to human interaction, but it depends on what service or what value as you had mentioned that human is providing. So, if you think about it, technology should be there to assist us in delivering the service. But I don't think as a society even globally, we're ever going to get to the point where humans are going to be completely eliminated from all interactions.   Brad shared that no, people need people, we saw that through COVID. People at the end of COVID thought, “Oh, I'll never want to go back to an office, I want to stay working from home." And then the immediacy, immediately when we could go back to an office people like, “Oh, thank God, I could get out of my house.” It's like, “Oh, I love my spouse, but not that much. Two years locked up together was enough.” He remembers during the middle of COVID, they came down and actually spent two weeks in Jamaica, Discovery Bay and sat on the beach there and they rented a big house and just sat on the beach and had a great time.   And some of his friends, he was like, “Well, if you want to come and visit us, you can, but if you feel uncomfortable, that's okay.” Everyone's like, “We're coming. We're coming.” Like, humans need human interaction. And it's interesting to see though, people going back to the workforce now the number of them who have requested cubicles as raised dramatically, because whilst they're happy to go back and be with people, they do want more privacy, because they liked the privacy of working from home too. So that's been an interesting change.   What Brad is Really Excited About Now!   When asked about something that he's really excited about, Brad shared that he'll give you two things. Actually. One, their charities, he has the Action Coach Foundation, they take a lot of young people through YES programme (Young Entrepreneurs Smart Start). So, they actually teach 12 to 22 year olds how to not leave school and get a job, but how to leave school and give people a job. So, rather than being an employee, being an employer. The world doesn't need more employees, it needs more entrepreneurs who give people jobs. And so, they're taking a lot of young people and helping them through that process. So that's super exciting for him.   From a business side, probably because he buys into companies all the time, he's very excited, their commercial cleaning business and people like, “You're excited about a cleaning business.” Yes, he loves their cleaning business. When he originally purchased to share, it's based in Australia. And now they're opening in the US and the UK. And so, he loves watching his companies go global, he loves his businesses, geography shouldn't limit your business, especially now, especially after we've gone through this whole phase of people can do business virtually, well, they can buy from anywhere in the world right now. And so, watching that business expand into a global phenomenon is going to be a lot of fun for him.   Me: Amazing. Now, you mentioned that you have a programme for young people between the ages of 12 and 22. If we do have listeners that are interested in that programme, how can they connect? And maybe sign up or be part of that process?   Brad shared their Action Coach Foundation website:   Website – actioncoachfoundation.org   Where Can We Find Brad Online   LinkedIn – Brad Sugars Facebook – Brad Sugars Website – www.bradsugars.com Website – www.actioncoach.com   Me: Amazing. You mean you're really easy to find.   Brad shared, could you imagine being a marketer and not having someone being able to find you on every single platform there is, jump on Amazon. Amazon has all 17 of his books available. So, Audible has his books on Audible. So, you can find him pretty much everywhere.   When asked if he was on Tik Tok, Brad shared that he is, but he doesn't dance. His team asked him to do that. And he told them the story. If you think about marketing, and being true to your brand, because it's really important to be true to your brand. He had an advisor who was taking them through Pinterest, and she said, “You need to appeal to a more female audience because that's who's on Pinterest” and she kept telling him how he needed to wear certain things. And he said, “That's not who I am. That's not the way I want to be. And I'm not going to do that.”   So, he told his team the story of Adele, Adele was in a marketing meeting and a young person came in and said, “Well, we need to write a song that's going to go viral on Tik Tok that people can do a dance to.” Adele left the meeting and said, “If that young person is at another meeting ever, I will fire this company as my representation.” Being truly your brand is important. So yes, he uses Tik Tok, but he doesn't do things that are not him.   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Brad Uses   When asked about a quote or saying that he tends to revert to, Brad shared that he'll give 2, both are from the same gentleman, his name was James Rohn. Mr. Rohn said to him, he was 16 years of age, sitting in Rizman City Town Hall listening to him speak, him and about 1500 other people. And he said he things that he wrote down that he believes changed the course of his life. The first thing he said was, “Never wish your life were easier, or wish that you were better.”   And it struck him because a 16 year old, you're sort of sitting there saying “Oh, I want this, I want that.” And it all about what you want. Mr. Rohn made him recognize the fact that his goal is not to want things, his goal is to get better.   And he backed it up with the second statement that was, “Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.”   And he remembers running down to him at the end of the event asking him to sign his notes, which unfortunately he lost in a move one time, because he had him signed them, he signed his notes and he said, “Mr. Rohn, what's one thing I can do as a 16 year old boy to make certain I'm successful in life?” and he said, “Son, it's really simple, read a book a week for the rest of your life. Not a month, not every 2 weeks, read a book a week for the rest of your life.” Today Audible reads to him, so he's very lucky.   Please connect with us on Twitter @navigatingcx and also join our Private Facebook Community – Navigating the Customer Experience and listen to our FB Lives weekly with a new guest   Grab the Freebie on Our Website – TOP 10 Online Business Resources for Small Business Owners   Links They Ask You Answer: A Revolutionary Approach to Inbound Sales, Content Marketing, and Today's Digital Consumer by Marcus Sheridan Subscribed: Why the Subscription Model Will Be Your Company's Future – and What to Do About It by Tien Tzuo Blitzscaling: The Lightning-Fast Path to Building Massively Valuable Companies by Reid Hoffman The Membership Economy: Find Your Super Users, Master the Forever Transaction, and Build Recurring Revenue by Robbie Baxter The Business of Belonging: How to Make Community Your Competitive Advantage by David Spinks Building Brand Communities: How Organizations Succeed by Creating Belonging by Carrie Jones and Charles Vogl   The ABC's of a Fantastic Customer Experience   Do you want to pivot your online customer experience and build loyalty - get a copy of “The ABC's of a Fantastic Customer Experience.”   The ABC's of a Fantastic Customer Experience provides 26 easy to follow steps and techniques that helps your business to achieve success and build brand loyalty.

#021 - Today we talk with Oakland native, resident and entrepreneur Nicole Felix Borders of Pound Bizness.  Pound Bizness is literally a labor of love.  Nicole's husband Reggie made 4 pound cakes from a family recipe for Nicole's mom to take to the church fish fry.  When she came home with a dozen orders, Nicole said…“how you got us a dozen orders when we're not even a business.”More and more people were requesting their cakes and Pound Bizness was on the verge of a number of corporate opportunities before the pandemic brought everything to a halt. There were several moments where they thought they were done, but didn't realize they were just beginning because what happened next was epic!Dave Clark from KTVU Channel 2 News posted on social media that he was looking for a recommendation for a brick and mortar shop to purchase a pound cake.  People replied with “try Pound Bizness”.  Nicole's mom told her to ignore the brick and mortar part and send Dave a cake.  So, she did - she sent a cake to Dave at the KTVU station AND Dave posted it on his page…..“slowly slicing into it and enticing his followers.  And everybody just had to have what Dave Clark had. And so we had customers from Oakland to Discovery Bay to Fairfield and everything. And that just really opened up a new channel for us.” Everyone thinks Nicole is the baker, but Reggie actually brought the recipe via his Aunt Ira - Nicole added the flavor.  They relish in demystifying the assumptions around traditional roles.  Pound Bizness has grown to 13 different cake flavors which mostly come from customer suggestions.  You can find their cakes at local farmers markets and on their website.Be sure to stick around until the end to hear how the “love ingredient” makes it all work.

Hong Kong's hospitals reached 90% capacity on Thursday and quarantine facilities were at their limit, authorities said, as the city struggles to snuff out a record number of new COVID-19 cases by adhering to China's “zero tolerance” strategy.To ease the strain on the city's healthcare system, officials said they will take a different approach to hospitalization and isolation policies and allow some patients to be discharged sooner. The move comes amid reports of patients being treated on beds outside a hospital in the city's working-class neighborhood of Sham Shui Po.Hong Kong reported 6,116 new coronavirus infections on Thursday. Any person in the city who is infected with COVID-19 must be admitted to a hospital or community isolation facility.Under the new approach, people who are infected but present mild symptoms in hospitals and government-run isolation facilities will be allowed to leave after just seven days if they test negative on the seventh day and do not live with anyone in a high-risk group, such as senior citizens, pregnant women or immunosuppressed people.Those who do not meet these criteria must complete the full 14-day isolation period or wait until they test negative, according to health officials.Health experts from mainland China arrived in Hong Kong to help the city raise its testing capabilities and assist with medical resources and facilities. Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam welcomed them at the land border with the city of Shenzhen.“Fighting the pandemic is our paramount task," Lam said. "We will devote every resource and manpower we have. We will impose any measures that we should. The aim is to make sure Hong Kong people's lives and health are protected and to uphold Hong Kong's stability.”Authorities reported 24 new deaths over the past week. The city has now confirmed a total of 16,600 infections, with 219 deaths.“In the last few days, we have had a lot of emergency cases where we had to accommodate patients in tents,” said Chuang Shuk-kwan, the head of Hong Kong's Communicable Disease Branch, during a regular COVID-19 briefing Thursday.“For these situations, our medical staff are very unhappy. We are worried about our patients' care,” she said.The city's Hospital Authority has appealed to medical professionals for assistance, asking doctors in private hospitals to help treat patients at quarantine facilities.The public hospitals are in a “crisis situation," said Sara Ho of Hong Kong's Hospital Authority.“If a large number of patients are waiting outdoors and if this continues, then no matter how hard our medical professionals work around the clock, there's no way to solve this problem relying on our own efforts,” she said.Officials have also appealed to the public, asking people to refrain from going out or taking part in private gatherings, saying that every effort helps as the city seeks to alleviate the burden on hospitals.Separately, Hong Kong is moving infected prison inmates to an isolation facility after seven prisoners tested positive for COVID-19. The Correctional Services Department said Thursday that the Sha Tsui facility on Lantau Island was designated for quarantining infected prisoners, whose numbers are expected to grow.Chinese leader Xi Jinping earlier ordered the central government to provide Hong Kong with resources to stabilize the outbreak, including rapid antigen tests, medical expertise and supplies.China has tamped down major outbreaks through its strict “zero tolerance” policy that involves quarantining incoming travelers, total lockdowns, extensive contact tracing and mass testing of millions of people.Lam has stuck to the same strategy despite the city's greater population density, higher incomes and more service-oriented economy than in mainland China. Last week, the entire upscale Discovery Bay neighborhood in Hong Kong was ordered to undergo testing after authorities found traces of the virus in its sewage.- AP

On this episode, I chat Steve Smith who is one of the directors at the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District. We talk about a variety of issues from the District's history, funding issues, the beef with the City of Oakley, and a variety of other issues. 00:33 – Introduction to Steve Smith who has been involved with the Fire District since 2013 as an appointed Board Member. He says he first got involved after the 2006 Citygate Report. 2:20 – We get into how busy the Fire District has been since Chief Brian Helmick taken over to find money for the district, $700k from Byron Bethany Irrigation District, the $6.2 million found and the CCCERA find of $1.7 million. Smith talks about impact of Measure X the might help bring even more revenue. 04:15 – Smith talks about Chief Helmick taking heat for “staffing up” the District. He talks about this fire district trying to overcome neglect for years. 08:08 – We jump into Oakley Community Facilities District and Fire Fees and what is going on with that and why the ECCFPD went public. Smith says the City of Oakley is sandbagging the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District, says Oakley is not fulfilling terms of Station 55.  We talk about these so called approved CFD’s by City of Oakley. Smith says Oakley has a “culture of secrecy” going on. 14:00 – Smith says since 2018, the Fire District is meeting with various candidates as a formal process so candidates understand what is going on. This year, they focused on the Strategic Plan.   15:50 – We get into the upcoming “ask of the public” in terms of revenue enhancement. How do you ask for more funding after multiple tax measures have failed? Now there could be extra money through Measure X plus consolidation is on the table.  Smith says they are still working on financials as they have a lot of moving parts. 18:30 – We talk abut the possibility of consolidation between East Contra Costa Fire Protection District and the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. 20:50 – We talk about the upcoming election and why voters should consider supporting Steve Smith in his reelection bid. Smith says the public should get a solution that is no longer a band-aid, but a real solution in solving fire service once and for all. 24:00 – Smith says the City of Brentwood has always come through with everything the District has asked of them and end up being 5-0 votes.   25:10 – The Fire District, under Chief Helmick and new board had implemented the creation of an FAQ several years ago. They have worked on educating the public.  Smith highlights there are a lot of people proposing a lot of things, but they are the subject matter experts. 27:25 – I ask Smith what is the one question he gets asked all the time that he is tired of answering.  He talks about reallocation and going to Sacramento. 28:54 – Smith talks about the concept that they are trying to build a coalition of fire districts 30:41 – We talk about the District no longer being the training ground for firefighters, but also there was a time when they did not have enough qualified staff to promote up to Engineer, they also were near brownouts for Station 59 (Discovery Bay) because they didn’t have enough engineers. We also talk about AMR meeting their targets, but ECCFPD is not. 35:22 – We talk about how its taken more than 6 years of education to finally move the ball forward in terms of community knowledge and possibility of tax or consolidation. 40:45 – I ask Steve what has been the most frustrating thing in being a Board Member on the ECCFPD. Smith replies it’s the persistence of East County Voters group. 43:30 – Steve Gets into why voters should support him for re-election.

In this episode you will hear: (06:12) In this week’s news, an article from savingforcollege.com, “Surge in Number of Colleges Cutting Tuition”, by Mark Kantrowitz. Between 2012 through 2018 small non-selective, private 4-year colleges began enacting tuition re-sets. These re-sets are a one-time reduction in a college’s tuition rate, usually accompanied by a cut in financial aid.     (23:50) We are in chapter 87 of 171 Answers and we’re talking through how college admissions committees make their acceptance decisions. You may be surprised by how many evaluation systems are used by colleges. Mark introduces us to the Committee Based Evaluation method developed at the University of Pennsylvania, and explains why it has been lauded as an effective evaluation approach by some while criticized by others as a system that is benefits admissions more than it benefits the applicant.   (43:58) This week’s question is from Tamara from Discovery Bay, California who wants to know if consent is required for her younger aged daughter to start college. Mark walks through the FERPA laws that impact how much information parents will have access to once a student is 18 – or enrolled in college, as in Tamara’s daughter’s case.   (55:49) Mark continues his interview with one of his former students, Tara Kalinisan, the Assistant Director of Admissions at Smith College, and they are talking through what you need to know about college fairs and college admissions interviews.   (1:09:49) Mark has two recommended resources for this week and both resources will help students and parents to understand how to get an athletic scholarship. The first resource is The Recruit Me-Athletic Scholarship podcast by John Fugler and the second resource is the Athletic Scholarship Playbook which is also by Fugler. The book is available in Audiobook, Kindle or as a paperback.   It is time to get your FSA ID if you are applying for Financial Aid, and remember, there are some colleges that do not give merit aid to anyone who does NOT apply for the FAFSA.

Selling the Dream: A Podcast for Resort & 2nd Home Real Estate Agents
Ep. 109: Mike Guzzardo on Be True to Yourself and Your Passions

Selling the Dream: A Podcast for Resort & 2nd Home Real Estate Agents

Are you true to yourself in your business? I’m talking about more than just ethics and values - I’m talking about digging deep into the things that you love, and making sure that is part of you and everything you do. It’s easy to get caught up in the job of selling the dream. Since we’re working our own business, we don’t always have someone telling us to punch the clock or go home. But when you’re true to your passions and what you enjoy doing, it just may impact everything about your business. When I sat down with Mike Guzzardo to record an episode of this podcast, that was the biggest thing that stood out. In fact, it’s one of the things that made us connect: our shared love of boats and the water. Mike and his wife, Jules, work together in Discovery Bay, California. They’re water people, and have gained a reputation of being water people in their community. They know boats, they know real estate on the water, and with just a few questions, can matchmake any potential clients with the perfect home. Because they know boats, and boat people, they can do that. Mike and Jules have stayed true to their passions, and the community knows it, and trusts their expertise. In fact, now 60% of their business is through referrals. I can’t wait for you to hear Mike’s insights and what he’s learned over the years. Before we dive in: have you created your free profile on the Second Home Agents website? Go over and get started: it’s FREE to join. Click here to register, fill out your profile and get listed today. Highlights of this episode: Tom introduces Mike and his business. The thing that has worked for Mike for 20 years (and still works today) is being true to himself and not trying to be something they’re not. Mike and Jules are water people through and through: they’ve gained a reputation in their community, especially for any events that involve water. Being true to their passions was a key to work/life balance, but it also meant that their fun activities helped them network with even more people (but they had no idea it would, and had never planned it to go that way). Their business is approximately 60% referral based! Mike is a proponent of protecting the environment, which has made many people want to work with him because they appreciate his ethics and values. Working as a husband and wife team takes a lot of work: they had to work 4-5 years before they really hit their stride and were able to work within their strengths. Coaching helped them define their roles and really be able to work well together. Talk to your clients about their passions! Tom tells the story of how he and Mike connected over boats. Being an expert in the area helps Mike and Jules be successful: because they are boat people, knowing about the kind of people they are working with helps them match people with the best hours for them. Understanding the driving force of the decision will always help you serve your clients at a higher level. The best CRM to use? The one you actually commit to and use! Keep your customer’s goals in mind: it’s more than just a sale. Tip for success? Role play! Practice on people who are not actual customers: that can earn you $10,000+ One piece of advice for new agents: have you thought of another job? Truthfully, who you work with matters, so interview brokerages and interview agents. It will make a world of difference, because if you are at the wrong brokerage, it will depress you. Don’t sign up with the first place that will take you.

Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com This is what you need to know about the new Harley Ride Planner free online software that was released in mid-2018 and replaces the older long-standing online version. Yes, as usual, Harley did this quietly and mostly unannounced. We have had the #1 selling Harley Ride Planner tutorial video for many years.   When this new version was released we made a completely new and revised Harley Ride Planner tutorial video! The new free online Harley Ride Planner software is very different from the older version.  Using the desktop version of Ride Planner is the most useful and best experience. However, in our tutorial video, we show you in great detail how to use both the desktop and the smartphone app version of Harley Ride Planner and the entire Harley-Davidson smartphone app! GET THE OFFICIAL HARLEY RIDE PLANNER TUTORIAL VIDEO HERE If you're not using the free online Harley Ride Planner software to map out your motorcycle trips then you are missing out. Although it's not perfect, we can show you how to utilize it and get the most out of it in our tutorial video. For a free tool, Harley Ride Planner is pretty great. You can plan and map out your entire motorcycle trip and then download it, and upload the turn by turn GPS directions into your Harley Boom!™ Box Infotainment system or other Harley supported external GPS device. There are many helpful tools built into Ride Planner such as easily inserting Harley dealership locations, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, events, scenic locations, and more. You can easily filter what you want to see on the map and what you don't. You can add waypoints and places you want to stop. There are different versions of the map you can view such as normal, classic, terrain, or satellite. You can easily zoom in, zoom out, and drag the interactive map around much like what you'd expect using Google Maps. You can add and drag waypoints around and adjust the route to different roads if you. GET OUR AWESOME HARLEY-DAVIDSON BOOM BOX!™ INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM TUTORIAL VIDEOS HERE! Once you add an address or location to your route you can see the mileage and time between one stop to the next. You can even view a list of turn-by-turn directions. Once you save your trip you can always come back and make changes if necessary. You can share your saved Harley Ride Planner via a link with friends and they can import it into their Ride Planner and upload it into their GPS device. We plan our rides here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media using Harley Ride Planner and then send it out to the entire group, so everyone has the same plans.  While releasing the new Harley Ride Planner desktop online software, they also released a completely overhauled smartphone application for IOS and Android. If you were using the old app called "Ride Planner" you can delete it because it's not supported anymore.  You'll want to download the new official Harley-Davidson smartphone application in your respective app store. Built into the app is Harley Ride Planner along with many different things. The app will sync with your free online Harley account and once you sign in you'll see any saved Ride Planner maps that you created and saved via desktop.  Get the Official Harley-Davidson & Ride Planner Smartphone App! IOS Android Yes, finally on the app you can now select one of your planned and saved rides and get visual and audible turn by turn directions on your smartphone! This was not possible on the old Ride Planner app, so I am super excited about this new functionality. I will say that creating a ride/map on the smartphone app is a bit cumbersome unless you are taking the fastest route between selected locations etc. You can't drag roads to take different routes like using the desktop version. However, there are some tricks I teach you in our Harley Ride Planner tutorial video that will make it possible to create an alternate route and take the roads you want. The app is just not very fast or user-friendly to create detailed motorcycle rides.  By far, the best experience for creating detailed rides is on the desktop online Ride Planner version.  Weather is a new feature on both the desktop and smartphone app versions. It appears Harley partnered with Dark Sky Weather and it is now integrated into Harley Ride Planner. What this means is that you can scrub through a planned ride and see where you'll be at a particular mileage on the map and you'll be able to see what the current weather and forecasted weather is. I find this very useful, but I will say that the desktop version lacks and you can get much more detailed weather info on the smartphone app version. I really hope they fix this on the desktop version and make it more useful.    Additionally, with the Ride Planner portion of the smartphone app you can record your ride and it will track you via GPS. You can then name and save the ride for future reference and share it.  There are different icons on the bottom of the smartphone app and you can go into different portions of the app. On the left is an HD logo and this is the home screen, which recommends rides near you. Next over is a helmet which is a list of your planned and saved rides. The third is a road and flag icon and this is Harley Ride Planner. Fourth from the left is a trophy cup icon where there are listed "challenges" and it's currently in Beta. I believe they are trying to build some sort of community where you can ride the challenges to earn points and get your name on a ranked list. One challenge I looked at is to ride 600 miles one month and hit 100 dealer check-in points. I guess these check-in points are dealerships and Harley sponsored events. Clearly, Harley is trying to get you into their dealerships to buy things.  Finally, all the way to the right are three dots that open up a menu with everything else. This includes the motorcycles you've listed, scheduling a test ride, finding a dealership, learning to ride, events, renting a bike, the museum, online store, and app feedback.  Overall, I am very pleased with the new Harley-Davidson smartphone app. It is well built, clean, and the user interface is easy to understand. I think it will only get better in time with minor bug fixes and updates.  The desktop version of Harley Ride Planner is so much better than the old version, but it still has a steep learning curve to use it most effectively. In our Harley Ride Planner and Harley-Davidson Smartphone App Tutorial Video, we'll make it easy for you, so you can get the most out of both the desktop and smartphone app versions.  New Free Video Mentioned: Install Exhaust-Headers-Mufflers Harley Milwaukee-Eight Touring-Vance & Hines Dresser Duals Sponsor-Ciro 3D CLICK HERE!

However, unlike that concept fraught with uncertainties and speculation, Disneyland’s Discovery Bay was officially announced to the Disney loving-public. Why then did it never grace that elusive theme park map? Today, we’ll explore the tumultuous tale leading up to its design, what this magnificent land would’ve contained, and how it settled down in only die-hard Disney fans' memories.

Investing outside of your local market can strike fear into the hearts of even the most savvy real estate investor. But long-distance investing doesn’t need to be extra risky!
