Podcasts about flywheels

On episode 295 of Business Coaching Secrets with Karl Bryan, Karl explores flywheels, business models, and more! If you're focused on building a thriving coaching business (and who isn't, right?), this episode is packed with wisdom you can put to work immediately. Here are my top 3 takeaways you don't want to miss: Stop “Winging It”—Embrace Modeling Over Trial & Error: Trial and error may sound entrepreneurial, but Karl makes a strong case that it's an expensive and inefficient approach. Instead, seek out proven models. Reverse engineer what works for the most successful companies or coaches, install those systems, and THEN fine-tune for your style. Upgrade Your Coaching Level—Become an Installer: Karl identifies three tiers of coaches: Hiders (those playing it safe), Wingers (those improvising), and Installers (those using proven, duplicatable systems). The real secret? Make it your mission to become an Installer. These are the coaches who retain clients for the long haul because they offer predictable, results-focused processes. Think in Flywheels for Real Growth: Instead of chasing one-off wins, visualize your business as a flywheel—a model where each win builds momentum for the next. From acquiring leads to converting revenue to scaling profits, when you focus on systems that create compounding results, your growth accelerates sustainably. If you haven't tuned in yet, highly recommend checking it out for a full dose of actionable strategies and motivation to kickstart your week! Ready to elevate your coaching business? Don't wait!

Four Pillars Gin is now four times the size of the entire Australian premium gin category when it started in 2013. Much of the category’s explosive growth is down to three cofounders having a crack, while seeing off the cops, who thought they were making meth. Now under Lion’s ownership, itself part of Japanese drinks giant Kirin, two of the founders – ex-Olympian Cameron Mackenzie and PR man Stuart Gregor – have “gracefully” exited. But the third founding partner, former global strategy boss at IPG’s Jack Morton Worldwide, Matt Jones, is still in. He thinks Australia deserves a global spirits business spearheaded by botanical alchemy, experience, craft, influence and intimacy over mass “shotgun messaging”. Jones is also a reluctant martech convert, valuing old school customer experience and its intangibles over measuring clicks and other marketing metrics. He likewise places far greater value on flywheels than marketing funnels. While the direct-to-consumer growth hacking playbook that fuelled start-ups a decade ago is now a relic of its time, Jones thinks many of the Four Pillars lessons and tricks are repeatable today for those that distil the fundamentals. But there are some key differences. Here’s his take on what made the business succeed and where Four Pillars – and Lion’s expanding spirits business – goes next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's podcast features a series of interviews I conducted with HubSpot executives when I attended HubSpot's recent GROW Europe 2024 event at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. First up is Daphne Costa Lopes, Global Director of Customer Success at HubSpot, who I talk to about why the marketing funnel is broken, why we should be thinking about a flywheel instead and having a dedicated space in their CRM platform for customer success professionals and leaders. Following that chat, I spoke to Crevan O'Malley, VP Corporate Sales, EMEA, at HubSpot, about what stood out for him from the panel that he moderated, how human messaging will be the thing that helps scaling brands cut through the noise and what brands should be doing with all of the time that AI tools can help us save. Clue: it's all about spending more quality time building better connections. Finally, I talked to Lalitha Stables, HubSpot's new UK GM and Country Manager, about HubSpot's secret sauce and what stood out for her at the event. This interview follows on from my recent interview – It's not about the customer's journey with our platform, it's about the customer's journey – Interview with Nadine Macklin of Carto – and is number 523 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders who are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees. #GROWEurope2024 #hubspotpartner

In this episode, Robbie was hosted by the Henley Business School Marketing Group for Coaches, where he shares his personal transition from feeling like a newcomer to fully embracing his identity as a coach.In his talk and the questions that follow, Robbie uses philosopher Ken Wilber's analogy of enlightenment being akin to having an accident – something you can't force but can become prone to – to set the stage for his approach to making oneself ‘client-prone' in the coaching business. While you can't make a client to say yes, there are strategies to increase the likelihood that you will accidentally find yourself with a client.In this episode, Robbie covers:The Prosperous Coach Flywheel, and how it can create a virtuous cycle that naturally leads to a growing coaching practice.The importance of creating a body of work, which serves as a powerful tool for connecting with potential clients before they even meet you and how to use the 12-Minute Method to make a body of work without it being time-consuming.How to navigate money conversations with confidence and integrity, ensuring that clients understand the value of the coaching experience.Transitioning from gifted sessions to paid clients.The session concludes with an audience Q&A, and among many things what comes across is that Robbie's approach to coaching is deeply rooted in authenticity, service, and a commitment to personal growth – both for himself and his clients.To read Robbie's latest thinking on Flywheels and coachings businesses, including his newly designed The Coaching Business Flywheel,visit https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheelFor more information about Robbie, visit https://www.robbieswale.com/Read more about The Coach's Journey at www.thecoachsjourney.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:Robbie's 100 Podcasts Challenge: https://www.robbieswale.com/writing/2022/2/4/the-12-minute-method-100-podcasts-challengeRobbie's 12-Minute Article: The Second Best Time is Now: https://www.robbieswale.com/the-12-minute-blog/2021/12/15/the-second-best-time-is-nowRobbie's 12-Minute Article: The Lost Relics of our Art: https://www.robbieswale.com/the-12-minute-blog/2021/12/4/the-lost-relics-of-our-artRobbie's ebook, An Introduction to the Coaching Business Flywheel, is available for free here: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheelKen Wilber: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_WilberJamie Dru: https://www.jamiedru.com/Robbie on Jamie's podcast, The Career Climb: https://www.jamiedru.com/post/climb-08-robbieswaleKatie Harvey on The Coach's Journey (first appearance): https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-1-katie-harvey-14000-hours-of-coaching-being-part-of-the-uk-coaching-vanguard-and-being-a-generalist-coachThe Prosperous Coach: https://richlitvin.com/book/Joel Monk on The Coach's Journey: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-6-joel-monk-conversations-at-the-cutting-edge-of-coachingBetterUp: https://www.betterup.com/Elizabeth Gilbert and her book Big Magic: https://www.elizabethgilbert.com/books/big-magic/Giovanna Cappozza on The Coach's Journey: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-20-giovanna-capozzaThe 12-Minute Method: https://www.robbieswale.com/about-the-12-minute-methodDruss the Legend: https://davidgemmell.fandom.com/wiki/DrussDavid Gemmell: http://www.wisdomofgemmell.com/Jim Collins on the Tim Ferriss Show: https://tim.blog/2019/02/18/jim-collins/RUNNING ORDER~7m - Robbie's Journey to Becoming a Coach~9m - Making Yourself "Client Prone"~9m - The Five Habits for Growing a Coaching Business~10m - Exploring Creativity and Overcoming Challenges~11m - The Importance of Skilled Coaches in the World~12m - Robbie's Experience and Earnings as a Coach~13m - The Influence of "The Prosperous Coach" Book~15m - The Concept of a Flywheel in Business Growth~19m - The Prosperous Coach Flywheel Explained~22m - Detailed Breakdown of the Prosperous Coach Flywheel~25m - How to Oil the Flywheel for Business Growth~31m - The Role of a Body of Work in Creating Clients~31m - The Personal Transformation Through Creating Work~33m - Susan's Question on Money Conversations~37m - Strategies for Discussing Coaching Fees~38m - The 90-Day Money Game Challenge~39m - The Importance of Creating Powerful Coaching Experiences~40m - Susan's question on the Value of Coaching~43m - Xenia's question on Transitioning from Free to Paid Sessions

Currently valued at $320,000,000 and steadily growing (see live revenue here), Nathan Barry is marching ConvertKit to becoming a billion dollar company. In this episode we talk about:ConvertKit- When you started ConvertKit there were a plethora of email services. I'm curious what made you even think this was something you could compete with? - How do you find the core usage of people. Is this just talking to people?- I use CK. - Of all the CK use cases, what are people most using it for?- Newsletters? Email for business? Podcasts? YouTube? All of the above?Content Marketing - From your vantage point what's going on here? - Best practices?SEO:- I've personally noticed a tectonic shift in SEO in the last 3-4 years. Is this your feeling as well? Social Media:- Can you give me your thoughts on each of these platforms (are they growing, driver of good leads etc).- Facebook- Instagram - YouTube- LinkedIn- TikTok- Podcasting- Anything else?AI Stuff:- Is ConvertKit using AI in any way…and how do you avoid adding things that are “cool demos” but don't have much real usage. - What features (if any) are people asking for? - With your insights into the writing world, where do you see things going? Podcasting- What are the ways you're seeing people succeed with podcasts.Newsletters- You might be at one of the very forefronts of newsletters, because instead of selective bragging you see real numbers. We get so many people who want to create newsletters, or ARE creating them. It reminds me of the new blog. - What do you see working on newsletters?- What do you see NOT working on newsletters?- Can you give examples of newsletter who are killing it and what they're doing?

E47: Have you ever wondered how some creators and entrepreneurs seem to achieve incredible results effortlessly while others struggle to gain traction? The answer lies in a concept that has revolutionized my approach to business – the Flywheel Effect.Today, host Yong-Soo Chung (@YongSooChung) dives deep into the concept of a flywheel and why every creator needs 3 types of flywheels in their business.On today's episode, you'll learn:- Three Types of Flywheels for Creators- How to Build an Audience Growth Flywheel- How to Create Endless Amount of Content via Flywheel- How the Flywheel Effect Leads to Momentum and LeverageLet's get down to business!***SPONSOR: Big thanks to Swell AI for sponsoring this episode. Swell AI is like having a production assistant 24/7. If you're a content creator, do yourself a favor and try Swell AI.***EXCERPTS:Building Your Audience First: "I emphasize the need to build your audience before designing or building your product. Once you have built up your audience, you can begin to create a product for your audience's pain points. And how do you create your first product? You need to know your audience inside out. Your product needs to cater to the desires and pain points of your audience." — Yong-Soo Chung (08:51)The Flywheel Effect: "As we grow the social media, the access to guests increases. As we have larger and larger guests, the threads that we write on social media to promote the episode get more eyeballs because people want to learn lessons from those people that you had on the show. And so it becomes a flywheel of growing better guests. Those guests grow the podcast, and it just keeps feeding off itself. And that's the flywheel as a creator and a podcaster or a creator and a YouTube."  — Clint Murphy (10:47)*** LINKS: Episode 24Episode 36Episode 39Episode 41JOIN: First Class Founders Premium MembershipDOWNLOAD: Hyper-Visuals For Our Episodes (Free)***FOLLOW / REVIEW:- Follow - Leave 5-star review***CONNECT W/ YONG-SOO:- X- Threads- LinkedIn- Newsletter***First Class Founders is a show for indie hackers, bootstrapped founders, CEOs, solopreneurs, content creators, startup entrepreneurs, and SaaS startups covering topics like build in public, audience growth, product marketing, scaling up, side hustles, holding company, etc. Past guests include Arvid Kahl, Tyler Denk, Noah Kagan, Clint Murphy, Jay Abraham, Andrew Gazdecki, Matt McGarry, Nick Huber, Khe Hy, and more.

No matter what your walk in life, no matter how big or small your enterprise, no matter whether it's for-profit or nonprofit, no matter whether you're CEO or a unit leader, the question stands: How does your flywheel turn? Turning the Flywheel is a monograph that was meant to accompany Jim Collins' famous book Good to Great — which is all about what separate good companies from great ones, and how companies can make the journey to greatness. As Jim Collins writes in Turning the Flywheel: I wrote this monograph to share practical insights about the flywheel principles that became clear in the years after first writing about the flywheel effect in Chapter 8 of Good to Great. I decided to create this monograph because I've witnessed the power of the flywheel, when properly conceived and harnessed, in a wide range of organizations: in public corporations and private companies, in large multinationals and small family businesses, in military organizations and professional sports teams, in school systems and medical centers, in social movements and nonprofits. Since learning about the concept of the Flywheel, I've since explained it and helped many of the portfolio companies I've invested in — both personally and through my venture fund Ligature — to create and implement their own flywheel. It's a fantastic way to force deep strategic thinking as it forces you to identify the disciplines, that sit far above any product or month or quarter, that will help you build and sustain momentum. The best flywheels are both timely and timeless, acting as a source of strength in turbulent times and a fantastic guardrail when making strategic decisions. Flywheels ultimately explain why some companies build momentum and others don't.‍ Episode Guide Explore the big ideas, takeaways, and transcript for this episode: outlieracademy.com/169.
