In episode #117 of the Transform Sales Podcast: Sales Software Review, Amir Reiter interviews Erik Paulson, CEO at Scrubby, a company that specializes in email validation as a service. With over two decades of experience in outbound lead generation, Paulson explains how Scrubby addresses the challenge of validating "risky" emails that are often overlooked due to stringent spam filters. Scrubby's service is particularly valuable for cold email agencies, enterprise clients, and large data providers. The platform measures success by expanding lead lists and reducing hard bounce rates, with a focus on B2B clients. Erik clarifies that Scrubby is not a replacement for tools like ZeroBounce or NeverBounce but rather a second layer of validation, especially for catch-all emails. The episode includes a brief demonstration of Scrubby's user interface and its credit-based system. RESOURCES & LINKS:  Want To Find the Right Sales & Marketing Software For Your Company?

The state legislature will look quite different after the November elections, thanks to new legislative district maps recently approved by the Assembly, Senate and Governor. State Representative Jimmy Anderson joins the show today to talk through how those maps came about and what they mean to you, the elections, and the future of the state. Plus, State Rep. Shelia Stubbs sits down with our editor in chief David Dahmer to talk about her proposed legislation to create a Task Force on Missing and Murdered African American Women and Girls. And in the midst of all that, some disturbing stories about driver education in Iowa and our weather predictions for spring.   NOTE: Wisconsin Vote and the state legislature website do not, in fact, make it easy to see your new district. However, Erik Paulson created a helpful website to do just that, with help from John D. Johnson of the Marquette Law School Lubar Center. If you click on a dot, it'll show the current district in orange and the new one in blue.    https://epaulson.github.io/2024-wisconsin-maps/   Here's our story on the Stubbs proposal:   https://madison365.com/wisconsins-delta-sigma-thetas-work-to-create-task-force-on-missing-and-murdered-african-american-women-and-girls/

“You want to find this place with the person that you are working with, sparring is working with people, it's not working against people, you are going to receive what you give.  If it's too hard, and you do not respect the parameters that are set, something is not going to go right.  Work with people in the gym, don't work against them.  You express your skills and give them a chance to express theirs.  You want people to express themselves so that they can be the best that they can be, so this way you have the best partners to work your skills against.”—Nicolas SaignacMy guest this episode is Professor Nicolas Saignac, who is a master of Savate.  He reached the finals of the French cup in 1987 and won the title the following year.  He was awarded the title of Professor from the Ministry of Sports in Savate and Boxing, and holds a silver glove 2nd degree, which is the highest Savate rank in the US.  He is one of the leading promotors of the sport and has led US teams to several World Savate Championships.  Professor Saignac has taught at the internationally famous Inosanto Academy and worked with martial art legends such as Ron Balicki, Erik Paulson, and Josh Barnett.  He has been featured in many articles, documentaries, and training videos.    This episode is all about getting the best out of yourself and those you work with.  My key takeaway is that the martial arts can and should be used as a vehicle for honest self-expression.  We must not become rigid within the style or seek to copy our teachers.  We must use the style, the training, and the sparring to find our own expression of our skills, especially under pressure.  We dive deep into the history of Savate, the usage of the shoe as a weapon, and how to excel at the highest levels of sport competition.  We also discuss what it takes to become a great teacher and how to create champions inside and outside the ring.  Tune in for another spectacular episode, with one of the most humble and genuine masters of their craft.

We are joined by the esteemed Michael Demko, Head Instructor of the renowned "Wrecking Crew BJJ" family martial arts school. As a Black Belt under living legends Rigan Machado and Erik Paulson, Mike Demko brings a wealth of experience to the mat. His coaching prowess has propelled fighters to amateur and professional championships, with many achieving success in major promotions such as Bellator. Notably, Mike leads one of the best kids teams in the country, consistently dominating local tournaments and making impressive showings at NAGA World's. Our paths first crossed at the 2023 BJJ Globetrotters Arizona camp, where Mike's session on "Getting Better at Getting Better. Learning and skill acquisition for Jiu Jitsu" left an indelible mark. Today's episode is not just special; it's a master class on Deliberate Training. Mike Demko shares a wealth of critical information beneficial for both coaches and students. So, grab a notebook and take notes, as we'll provide a download link in the show notes for an outline and mind map PDF related to today's discussion.

“It doesn't matter where it comes from as long as it works, and you don't know if it works unless you experiment with it.  In order to get good at everything you got to break it all up and pull it apart.  Find the common thread, that's how the styles will merge.”  -- Erik PaulsonMy guest on this episode is Erik Paulson who is an Encyclopedia of Martial Arts and the first American to win the World Light Heavyweight Shooto Championship in Japan.  He was trained by legendary instructors like Guro Dan Inosanto, Benny “The Jet” Urquidez, Gene Lebell, Yori Nakamura, Rigan Machado, Rickson Gracie, Tim Tackett, Ajarn Chai, and Billy Robinson.  He is a multi-style Black Belt and master instructor of Jeet Kune Do, Kick Boxing, Savate, Shoot Fighting, Filipino Martial Arts, Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling, Catch Wrestling, and a 6'th degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.  He is the founder of Combat Submission Wrestling and STX Kickboxing.  He runs the CSW Training Center in Fullerton, California, where he has trained MMA Fighters like Josh Barnett, Ken Shamrock, Cub Swanson, Sean Sherk, James Wilks, and Brock Lesnar.This episode is all about connection and seeking the common thread in all martial arts.  My key takeaway is that martial arts is a creative act.  We must be humble and open so that we can learn and absorb from all sources.  What we learn must be tested so that we know that we can make it work, and the only way to test it is to experiment with it.  Martial Arts is a creative process, of transforming knowledge, wisdom, to understanding.  Erik Paulson is a true genius of the game, his understanding of the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of martial arts sets him apart and allows him to mentor and guide his students toward excellence.  This is a special episode, filled with insight and old-school stories of Jeet Kune Do and the development of MMA from someone who has first-hand knowledge and experience.  Tune in for an unforgettable episode.

Erik Paulson is one of the most sought out martial arts instructors in the world. We talk about great training concepts, training with Rickson Gracie and Rigan Machado, his professional MMA career, his friendship with long time buddy Chad Stahelski (the director and creator of the John Wick movies), his spiritual side and helping people with exorcisms - yes exorcisms - which is a must listen to section, and more!

Shayna Baszler has been on a tear in the WWE, claiming two tag team belts (WWE and NXT) in the last 30 days along with her tag team partner and former UFC women's bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey. Shayna is no stranger to winning belts on the pro-wrestling circuit, having won multiple in both NXT and WWE proper.As one of the pioneers of women's MMA, Shayna has a unique perspective on both MMA and pro wrestling. The ‘Queen of Spades' sat down for an exclusive interview with me a few days ago to talk about the good old days in MMA, what her transition into pro-wrestling has been like, the training environment at CSW where she worked with legends Erik Paulson and Josh Barnett, who she would choose for a tag team partner if Ronda weren't available and more.
