You're in for a treat today! We're speaking to Dave Wakeman, aka the Revenue Architect. Dave is a star in the ticketing and entertainment industry, and he's the guy that American Express referred to as The King of Tickets. Dave has a fascinating story to share! In today's show, he talks to us about creating revenue, how to deal with change, and reinventing yourself. He also tells some amazing stories that are sure to inspire you! Dave Wakeman's bio Dave Wakeman is “The Revenue Architect.” His consulting work has attracted clients such as American Express, Manhattan Construction Company, Volunteers of America, Yahoo!, the United States Department of State, the Seattle Seahawks, and over 100 other leading companies from around the globe. Dave is widely known for his work in modernizing the secondary ticket market and partnering with American Express and Circles on their Black Card ticketing program that revolutionized the way that people buy tickets and view the secondary market. With his consulting firm, the Wakeman Consulting Group, Dave has turned his focus to helping organizations around the globe maximize their profitable revenue. Dave is a powerful advocate for the need for businesses to tell stronger brand stories and that explosive growth isn't a miracle. It is a product of having a great strategy combined with the right marketing and sales efforts. You can see Dave regularly writing and being interviewed about marketing and revenue in the pages of SEAT Magazine, The Seattle Times, The New York Post, and US News and World Report. Dave is also a frequent guest on radio and television, including appearances on The Tom Leykis Show and The Exchange with Amanda Lang and many other media appearances. Nightclubs Dave started his career opening nightclubs in the mid-1990s, and he opened nightclubs all over the country. The club that he opened in St. Louis did not do very well, and that led Dave to one of the best opportunities of his career. A great career opportunity Dave moved to Seattle, knowing no one there, and with about $600 in his pocket. He landed a job working for Paul Allen, who helped start Microsoft with Bill Gates. A talent for marketing Dave helped Paul to open the Experience Music Project, which is on the grounds of the Seattle Center and is now called the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP). That was where Dave discovered that he had a marketing talent. Dave Wakeman's move to New York Dave Wakeman's marketing ability led him to many different places. He moved to New York and worked with a company called Americana Tickets. That was where he worked with American Express and the Centurion Card, helping them to figure out how to buy and distribute tickets for their clients all over the world. Dave worked on many different projects Together with the ad agency for Yellowtail Wines, Dave threw Tailgate parties in 36 cities. That was one of the key ingredients that helped Yellowtail to grow and get into Costco. He worked with Coca-Cola on the launch of their Odwalla product, the efforts to support the Affordable Care Act in America and to get President Obama re-elected in 2012. He also did a lot of work in Australia. Generating money Dave Wakeman grew up in very modest circumstances. He realized very early on that the way to make something of himself would be through his ability to generate money and to market and sell effectively. Over the years, he developed an eye for the things in which people look for and find value. Dave Wakeman's thoughts on creating value Dave understands that if you can create enough value for the people you're aiming to serve, then you should also be able to collect some of that for yourself. Unique experiences in LA Dave helps people get registered to vote through #iVoted, which also invites people to attend virtual concerts with some great artists. Helping non-profits Dave loves to give back, so he often uses his expertise to help non-profits. Creating revenue If you want to create revenue or have the most impact, you consistently need to ask three questions: What is the value you're trying to create? Who is the customer that will pay you? How do you reach those people? You need to focus on the value that you're trying to create for people, you need to find the specific person who you can help, and you need to communicate effectively. Strategy and tactics Strategy is where you're trying to get to, and tactics are how you get there. Lack of precision Dave believes that when people lack precision when they speak, it leads to poor outcomes. The King of Tickets Dave Wakeman attributes becoming known as The King of Tickets to luck, his excellent relationship-building skills, and technology. You are not replaceable Dave points out that your ability to be you is not replaceable. So, you need to invest in having a point of view, relationships, and finding ways to create value for the people you serve because none of those are replaceable. Coping with change We need to embrace change. So, although we are going through a terrible time right now, you should not give up because people will come back. Recognizing and embracing the power of change Change will come, no matter what. Many years ago, Dave learned that change is the only thing in life that is certain. And when change rears her beautiful face, you must embrace her because change is the only thing that you have. Reinventing yourself, coming out of the pandemic Coming out of the pandemic, you don't have to be the same person you were going into it. The key to reinventing yourself lies in looking at what you want to do and who you want to become going forward.

Today’s guest has made a career out of helping others build connections. In particular, she teaches introverts how to have a sense of self-worth, find their tribe, and make strides toward the career of their dreams. Growing up she was painfully shy and felt like an outsider. She didn’t believe it was possible to deeply and authentically connect with large numbers of people, so she rarely tried. That began to change as she stepped into leadership roles and a more outgoing part of herself started to emerge. Since then, she’s been on a mission to reframe what it means to be an introvert, initially leading by example and now helping others. She founded Confident Introvert, a training and development company helping introverts with their networking skills through corporate workshops and webinars as well as private one-on-one networking strategy coaching. To share her message, she recently published, the “Confident Introvert: A Practical Guide to Connecting with Others at Networking Events and Beyond.” Please join me in welcoming Stephanie Thoma.

As an Olympic and World Championship rower, today’s guest learned firsthand what makes a championship team versus simply a team of champions. She's spent 20 years helping individuals, leaders, and teams resolve difficult conflicts and create strong, thriving relationships that create great results. Over the years, she’s worn many hats, including Boeing flight test engineer, a manager at Arthur Andersen, and a Principal Consultant at Patrick Lencioni’s The Tablegroup. In 2002, she co-founded Thrive! to share her unique perspective about making relationships matter as much as business results. She did a TEDx talk with her co-founder, “Conflict Use It, Don't Defuse It!” She has given presentations on conflict resolution, communication, teamwork, and creative problem-solving at Fortune 100 companies like Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, and AT&T. She is the author of two books, “The Beauty of Conflict” (for business teams), and “The Beauty of Conflict for Couples”, and co-host of the podcast The Beauty of Conflict.

On the Schmooze Podcast: Leadership | Strategic Networking | Relationship Building
Today’s guest isn’t your typical Life Coach. After working in sales for two decades, he became a certified Life Coach in 2005. In a world filled with "woo-woo" life coaches, his opinionated and direct approach is refreshing and gets results. Eight years later, he launched Coach the Life Coach because he had learned how to build a successful coaching practice and he was tired of watching new Life Coaches struggle to survive. He helps them build a coaching practice that is sustainable and profitable. He has written over 1,500 self-development articles and is the author of 11 books, including “The Clarity Method: Tap Into What Motivates Your Clients, Your Colleagues, and You.” Please join me in welcoming Tim Brownson. Would you leave an honest rating and review on Apple Podcast? Or Stitcher? They are extremely helpful and I read each and every one of them. Thanks for the inspiration! In this episode we discuss: his thoughts on leadership: “To me leadership is about integrity, doing the right thing when no one is looking. You can lead by coaching loudly or through a quiet determination.” his experience in sales and how it shaped his views on solving problems and offering solutions instead of trying to “win” a customer. how he describes his first couple of years of coaching as a blueprint for how to not start a coaching business. how he balances writing and coaching and makes both a priority. his understanding that he doesn’t take well to being confined by a structure and what he does instead. his practices surrounding networking and the value he places on Facebook groups.
