How can businesses safeguard themselves against economic uncertainties using the 831B tax code? Join us as we welcome Van Carlson, the innovative founder and CEO of SRA831B, who unveils the potential of this tax code as a powerful tool for business risk management. From the complexities of the 1986 Tax Reform Act to the practicalities of building a financial reserve with pre-tax dollars, Van breaks down how businesses can manage self-insured risks effectively. Traditional insurance markets often leave gaps, but with 831B plans, companies can create their own financial buffer to tackle unforeseen expenses and maintain business continuity. We illustrate this with real-world examples, such as auto dealerships and warranties, highlighting how these strategies mirror the operations of large insurance companies and benefit industries across the board. In our discussion, Van shares his fascinating journey from being a history teacher and football coach to becoming a trusted insurance professional dedicated to ensuring client success. The episode focuses on the importance of integrity, honest communication, and setting up sound risk management practices for small and mid-sized businesses. We emphasize educating business owners on the necessity of financial reserves, not just for physical damages but also for modern threats like cyber risks. By advocating for sensible regulations and tax incentives, Van and SRA831B are committed to equipping businesses with the tools they need to thrive amidst economic challenges, ensuring a legacy of sustainability and success. Tune in to discover how these insights can revolutionize your approach to risk management and secure your business's future.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Is your team leveraging AI beyond basic content creation? Did you know your sales process can be more efficient with the help of AI? While many agencies focus on AI's obvious applications, today's guest reveals a more innovative approach: using artificial intelligence to mine the wealth of unstructured data generated during sales interactions. By capturing and analyzing these often-overlooked conversations, his agency has discovered valuable insights that are transforming their sales process. In our fascinating discussion, we'll explore how AI is revolutionizing not just data analysis, but the entire advertising landscape. This interview is an in-depth conversation about the convergence of technology, community building, and cutting-edge marketing strategies. Andrew Eklund is the founder and CEO of Ciceron, a digital agency that excels at amplifying brands by creating bespoke audiences and activating them in the places they are. He shares insights from his journey in the digital landscape, starting from the dawn of the public internet and his early experiences with AOL. He discusses the evolution of his agency from his first clients to now specializing in applying advanced AI to audience segmentation and modeling, and shares what he predicts will and won't change about our current use of AI in advertising and sales. In this episode, we'll discuss: Turning sales conversations into strategic assets with AI. Why unlocking the capabilities of AI requires engagement. Harnessing AI for sales success. How AI could change advertising for good.

Educating Clients to Embrace New Technology Andrew's pioneering spirit led him to start his agency almost thirty years ago at the dawn of the public internet, back when a digital agency basically set up people's first email address and websites. Starting out when people still didn't know very much about the internet, Andrew often had to overcome skepticism about the viability of online business. His determination to prove that people would eventually embrace e-commerce, despite widespread hesitance to share credit card information online, led him to establish IndieSonic, one of the first independent music online portals. This venture not only validated his predictions but also provided a tangible example to clients of the digital marketplace's potential. Even with this willingness to engage clients in e-commerce during a time of skepticism, it took many years for most to start embracing it. During the dotcom crash, many predicted the internet's demise and a return to traditional business models. Yet ironically, this period coincided with the emergence of today's tech giants, who would ultimately transform the digital landscape forever. Turning Daily Sales Conversations into Strategic Assets Back in 2022, when ChatGPT 3.5 came out, Andrew gathered his team and explained that whatever the future with AI was, they had to be all in on it. To him this was without a doubt the direction things were headed as soon as the technology became available. He wanted his team to be prepared for a future where platforms like Google and Meta would have features to basically automate their jobs. Instead of rejecting that future, they should embrace it before clients did. Initially, his team used ChatGPT in the obvious ways, like creating the ad copy. However, it wasn't the most exciting way to use this technology. Andrew wanted to put it to work in areas where humans struggled so he focused on using it on the often-overlooked and unstructured data generated during human interactions, particularly in sales environments. When salespeople engage with clients, they gather valuable insights about customer perceptions, needs, and preferences—information that is rarely documented in formal data sets. This intellectual capital, if left unharvested, evaporates daily, representing a missed opportunity for organizations to refine their strategies and improve their offerings. Now Andrew's team has implemented a system known as the "intelligence hub," which serves as a central repository for various data sources, including recordings of sales calls. By utilizing AI to analyze these recordings, he can extract meaningful insights that inform sales training, marketing strategies, and product development and captures intellectual capital to transform it into actionable intelligence that drives business success. Why Experimentation is the Key to Unlocking the True Capabilities of AI Like many of these AI innovations ChatGPT seems to have gone down in quality over the past year. AI models are not static entities; they require active engagement and adaptation to deliver meaningful results and while it can process vast amounts of data, the quality of its output is heavily dependent on the input it receives and the manner in which queries are structured. Andrew's approach to these language models is to address them like he would any employee and letting them know they've failed at effectively answering a prompt, so it'll record that failure and provide better results next time. Moreover, his perspective on the integration of AI models is that there's no need to stick to just one when they each have varying capabilities. Models like Llama and Gemini offer superior integration with platforms like Google Drive, but may also lack essential features. Hence, businesses must remain agile, willing to explore different models and their functionalities to find the best fit for their specific needs. Don't shy away from experimenting with different setups and integrations, especially if you run a small or medium-sized business and don't have a deep IT infrastructure. Maintain an open mind towards the evolving capabilities of AI. Many users may dismiss a model based on a single poor experience, failing to recognize that AI technology is continually advancing. The technology will get better with time and, meanwhile, remember that longer, more nuanced prompts yield better results and experimentation is the key to unlocking the full potential of AI tools. Harnessing AI for Sales Success One area where not enough agency owners are using AI to improve their agency's performance is sales, where they can use AI insights to significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the sales processes. One of the primary advantages of utilizing AI in sales is its ability to analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and trends that human analysts might overlook. Sales managers can employ AI to examine recorded sales calls alongside performance metrics from CRM systems like Salesforce. This way, your team can analyze which calls led to conversions and which did not and sales leaders can gain insights into effective communication strategies and customer preferences. Moreover, AI can assist in filtering and analyzing leads more effectively so sales teams can prioritize their outreach to those with the highest likelihood of conversion, thereby improving overall efficiency. The Future of AI and Data Privacy Since the 1990s, when Andrew began helping businesses establish an online presence, he has encountered a common concern among clients - the fear of exposing sensitive information on the internet, where competitors could access and leverage it. However, as clients learned the importance of SEO and realized their lack of content was hindering website traffic, they became more willing to embrace digital marketing strategies. Looking ahead, Andrew foresees a future where AI models could replace traditional search engines. Instead of searching, consumers will rely on AI assistants that not only answer queries but also provide relevant context. As AI-driven insights become more prevalent, often informed by user-generated content rather than brand narratives, companies will have greater incentives to share their data with these models. Yet, Andrew cautions that not all information should be openly shared with AI. He advocates for the use of private AI platforms, where companies can download and apply open-source models like Llama to their internal networks. While this is not yet widespread, Andrew believes it represents the future of AI-driven business intelligence. Will People See Less Advertisement? In Andrew's opinion, people will continue to be bombarded by advertising for the time being. While advertising agencies must reach their audience, they should do so without being intrusive. He points to Instagram as a successful example, where users actually embrace advertising because of its relevance to their interests. The platform's ability to understand user preferences and recommend desired products has transformed it into a shopping destination, delivering real value to consumers. Looking ahead, Andrew predicts that over the next five years, AI will revolutionize the economics of advertising. This technology will enable more precise targeting at current cost levels, shifting the focus from broad, low-quality impressions to highly targeted advertising aimed at the individuals who matter.

On this episode of Broker to Broker, host JP Hussey's foundations are rocked by the incredible stories and life lessons from a much-beloved member of the AIME community, the CEO of Mr. Mortgage, D.C. Terry! D.C. has incredible stories, and important lessons to share and impart on the broker community. From his start as a US Marine in the music industry, to the pivotal moment that made him make a dramatic change in his career trajectory. D.C. is full of stories, moments, and instances where he took it upon himself to do the right thing by his clients. His selflessness, knowledge, and commitment to his clients is both inspiring and a model to which mortgage brokers should aspire to. D.C.'s stories have to be heard to be believed. D.C. speaks of how essential it is to ensure the client gets the most out of working with him, and how this has led to long-term connections, referrals, and business. “Listen, something spoke to me and said, “I've got too much money.” I sat back and I'm like, “What do you mean?” That client was charged too much money. I'm really going over it in my mind because I'm thinking, “I did a great job. The client was happy.” Next thing I know, I call them back and tell them that I charged them too much money. True story.” D.C. recounts “But, I tell him “If there's anything that you need from this point forward in this industry, you come to me. I got you.” Well, it turns out that guy later on, his businesses had to go through some modifications. So he calls me, and we can make money for doing modifications. I jumped on the phone with his commercial lender, worked that out for him. I worked out the same thing with his primary residence as well. If he had any issues with insurance or anything, he called me. I handled everything for him. But from that point it was something that was given to me that I can now give to you: when you are closing a loan for someone. Make sure that that person gets more out of it than you.” Key Points: 2:23 The Hall of AIME Sparking Change Award 5:51 Life-changing moments, from the music to the mortgage Industry 14:17 Working in mortgage for the service, not the money 22:52 Establishing Your Own Brokerage 28:52 Serving the Underserved Loans and Clients. 34:34 Educating Clients leads to Long-Term Collaboration 41:08 Making Homeownership Possible for the “Impossible” Clients This episode is sponsored by Change Wholesale

Today's guest is Bret Greenstein, SVP and Global Head of AI at Cognizant, one of the top 5 largest tech consulting companies globally, with 2019 revenue at nearly $17B. Bret shares with us today the importance of educating our buyers. What does it look like to interact with a client who has an idea of an AI project, inform their idea of what AI is, and help refine and define the problem to solve it. It is often not the case where a client will immediately have a robust understanding of what they need to do, or they will come in with a granularly very tight and coherent idea of where AI can drive value in their business. Bret goes into tactfully bringing education into the sales and delivery process to add more value to clients. Do you want more keys to success in your own AI consulting career?

Doug Darling, Executive Director and Founder of Tripwire Media Group - a video and animation company, joins us in this episode as we talk about the importance of educating and helping clients grow their business by creating effective and impactive videos with the end in mind, not just shooting great video. Doug is a Video Producer & Strategist from Winnipeg Canada. And in 2019, he’s making a deliberate and important shift to ensure the work they do is getting results. He gives his clients a better understanding of how video works through the science of storytelling and strategy behind the video - an important paradigm shift for video creatives. Doug was one of the members of my online video strategy blueprint program. In this episode Doug’s story and what led him to where he is today. A background on his business services, the type of clients he serves, and what clients are coming to him for. The key shifts and changes he has seen in the work they are doing. The role of science and biology behind video storytelling in a marketing strategy. The changes in the way they talk to their clients and how their clients think about the use of and the reason behind video. Asking important questions to know the goal of the video and why reaching audience in an emotional way is critical in video storytelling. Educating clients and leading them with strategy to reach the client’s goal. Their business process for giving strategy advice and the delivery of video strategy as one of their services. Distinction between the role of a good cinematographer / video producer versus the role of a video strategist. What to expect for The future of Triplewire.

Tips on educating clients on why they should have landlord insurance.
I get a lot of questions from fam such as yourself, wondering: "Zac, you do some weird, wild and crazy things. How do you get buy-in with someone who has an issue that is seemingly unrelated to do the things that you want them to do?" Maybe they're seeing you for wrist pain. Why the heck would I be breathing if my wrist hurts? Or maybe they're squatting. Why would filling my upper back up help me squat more effectively? I have both had many successes and failures explaining what I am doing. Through these trials and tribulations, I've broken down education into a four step process with one concept in mind: the outcome. Below, I break down what those four steps are, and how you can implement this strategy into your practice. Enjoy the video and modified transcripts, as well as the links I mention in the talk. The Outcome We are not focused on the outcome that we want as movement practitioners, but the outcome that the client wants. The client wants his or her wrist to feel better. They want to squat so they can get that badonkadonk like Big Z. And it is big, don't get it twisted. [caption id="attachment_5595" align="alignnone" width="525"] I had the second largest glute circumference out of my entire class in PT school. That's counting men and women. You can't mess with this.[/caption] The outcome is what we always have to keep in mind when are educating our people. Thoroughly understanding what outcome they want occurs by listening to them. Hearing their story. Hearing their concerns and what their barriers are. This is all incredibly important because it builds that rapport and connection, establishes trust with the person you're working with; a huge step in attaining buy-in. With the outcome in mind, here is how we can educate our people to let them know that the stuff that we're doing, while seemingly unrelated, is critical to helping them meet whatever outcome they desire. Step 1: Set the Stage I have a friend of mine. She's a dear friend. She's all about setting expectations. You want to let people know what they're getting into from the outset. No surprises. I never want to see this look during a movement consultation...nor do I want a kid for that matter[/caption] Usually, after a patient or a client has told me their goals, I assimilate them into the back of my head. Because throughout the whole educational process, I'm going to be peppering my story with that goal. My rap might start off like this: "Thank you so much for answering all my questions and telling me about why you're here. That's incredibly helpful for me because it allows me to make more informed decisions." I'm thanking them for playing an active role in this process. "Here's what we're going to do today. I'm going to take a look at just about everything on you." I've set the stage. They're going to get a very thorough evaluation. It's at this point where you can link the complaint to contributing factors. "Your whole body moves as a cohesive unit and works together." People understand this because I think we've all been in pain and know that we compensate. "A lot of times what can happen, in order to manage the stressors that you undergo both within your body and in the environment." I use "stress" very loosely, and I make sure I tell people that because I don't want to convey that people are stressed out and that's the problem (even though it probably is). I'll say things like a stressor could be the the mechanism of injury that the client had, or not sleeping well one night. Or a loss of movement could be a stressor. [caption id="attachment_5598" align="alignnone" width="525"] Where is the "oh my shit" part on this gauge?[/caption] "In order to manage those stressors, your body may utilize protective strategies, such as reducing movement in particular areas." This is how we can illustrate to our people why movement limitations happen. And this reigns true in pain or with our squatting example. Squatting might be challenging because the body has to work in a certain fashion. If unable to coordinate that, the body may take the path of least resistance to make that movement happen. A lot of times this can result in movement limitations. "Movement limitations can increase pressure and strain in particular areas." If you're in pain, maybe these limitations increase the amount of load on the wrist with opening doors. Now I linked the limitations with the problem. For squatting, movement limitations occur to make the squat easier, but they limit depth. There will be an example boom I just linked it to the outcome. "We are going to focus on restoring those movement limitations. The hope would be that doing so will even out the workload distribution throughout your body, which can help with pain, improving limited tasks, or enhance fitness. Do you have any questions before we get started?" That's how I will end the talk. Usually most people are nodding along because most understand that we compensate when we're hurting or when we can't move. If one part of you is working overtime, then that probably means another place is under working. No one likes to work two jobs at once. Step 2: Show How the Movement Limitations They Have Relate to their Outcome. You've done a thorough assessment. You have a picture of where they can and can't move. Your job now is to show how these movement limitations are related to the main problem that they're seeing you for. If it's your wrist pain person. What I may say is: "Your wrist checks out great. So does your elbow! What I think is happening now is your shoulder doesn't really move so well, and that can be related to how well you can move air into your upper trunk. So what may happen is because this area is not moving effectively, your wrist may uptake more stress when doing the activities which are problematic. That extra workload may be a contributing factor to your pain. If we can improve your mobility, that may even out the workload distribution, reducing stress and helping with pain." Another great example is when someone's knee hurts when they walk. If they lack hip extension, the hip may move more forward, increasing stress on the knee. Loosening up the hips could reverse this. [caption id="attachment_5599" align="alignnone" width="525"] Yikes, what a lineup[/caption] In our squat example: "You may not be able to squat to full depth because the curve in your lower back is a bit deep secondary to a rib cage strategy that you are utilizing. It's harder for you to close the frontside of the body down. So what happens is as you descend down into a squat, you hit end-range much sooner, as some roundedness is required to go full depth." Whether that's pain or performance, you can see the common trend that I try to relate my findings to their goals. Improving these findings may lead to better movement capabilities, which ought to allow you to go back to the task at hand. In the pain case, because of reduced stress, in the movement case, because of greater options. Relate back to the outcome as much as possible. Step 3: Show how Breathing Can Influence These Limitations After I've asked if they have any questions about my spiel, I say: "we're going to start with an exercise focused around breathing. Your whole body is involved every time you breathe in and breathe out, and it's an easy way to impact how your body moves" In the wrist pain case: "You need a sturdy foundation for your arm to do all the wild and crazy things that needs to do. Since your arms and your legs are attached to the trunk, which is involved big time in breathing, we can utilize a particular breathing strategy to set a solid foundation for us to do the things we need to do with our arms." In the case of our squatter: "If we can have you effectively get the air out of the front, you'll be able to squat lower because you'll be able to bend in a way that we need you to." Readily admit that this is going to be a little strange. Because they're probably wondering how breathing will help their pain. It's an easy sell when it's a shoulder because most of your shoulder muscles attach to your ribcage. It's also easy for lower back pain, since the diaphragm attaches to the lower back. So to in the pelvis, since the goods are pushed downward with each breath cycle, impacting the pelvic floor. All of those are easy sells. "I get that this is very strange. But if we can get you to do this effectively, I think you will see some pretty remarkable changes in some of the areas that I showed you were limited, especially once we start incorporating things with the arms in the legs." This is how you can bridge the gap from someone who has a distal complaint or someone who has a hard time rowing, reaching, or squatting. Step 4: Execute You've set the stage. You've shown how these limitations relate to the outcome that they want. You've educated them on how breathing can potentially impact their issues. Now you've got to deliver. [caption id="attachment_5601" align="alignnone" width="525"] No signature required[/caption] Execution involves expert level coaching with the task at hand; focusing predominantly on whatever is most important to reaching the client's specific outcome. As movement professionals, that's making sure that the breathing mechanics are immaculate: get as much air out as possible, pause, and keep abdominal tension during the inhale. That's going to set the stage for allowing multidirectional expansion of the thorax the abdomen and the pelvis. If we have the aforementioned breathing strategy and then we place the body in positions that it struggles to achieve, we ought to be in bidness. If you want to up your coaching game, you'll want to sign up for my newlsetter and listen to some of my breathing talks. [yikes-mailchimp form="1" submit="Yes, I'd like to get better at coaching!"] The talks however, are no substitute for in-person coaching. That's where my seminar, Human Matrix, comes in. https://youtu.be/kkGEX8LqNhQ Sum Up To summarize. Set the stage. Let them know what they're getting into. Let them know how this comprehensive evaluation that we're going to perform will help them get their outcome. Show how the limitations that they have relate to their complaint. The limitations we've found may contribute to your complaint. If we can get you to improve upon these limitations, I think you'll be able to reach your goals more effectively. Show how breathing can influence these limitations. Your whole body is involved every time you breathe in and breathe out. Executing effective breathing can place air into restricted areas, improving mobility. This sets the foundation for the arms and legs to act to go into posiitions they cannot achieve. Execute. Make sure you are coaching the stuff that you are trying to do with your clients in the most effective manner possible. How do you get buy in for your interventions?
