He visited some headhunters six months before graduating. They told him that they could not offer him a job because he has not yet graduated. Brian eventually got into a publishing company because he was an English major. Brian emphasized the importance of making genuine contributions and connecting with other people. Tune in to the full episode to discover how Brian journeyed into list management. Brian's Experience in List Management Brian thinks it is crucial to listen to people who believe that you are talented. Brian shared how he fell in love to list management and how he got his curiosity in copywriting. Everybody needs lists. He learned about what makes people tick and pursued copywriting. Above the Average: How Brian is Different Brian first asks his clients if they understand the concepts of recency, frequency, and monetary value (RFM). Recency explains how a customer who has most recently bought from you is worth more than a customer from a long time ago.  Frequency measures when and how often buyers order and getting them to select more lists. Monetary value shows how much the buyers or audiences spend on your business or on niches related to your business. Listen to the full episode for Brian's discussion on the relationship between lists and copywriting. Reselling Your Product According to Brian, your previous customers should always be on your best list. To get your audience back, you do not have to resell the product in the same way. Instead, treat them as already being part of your family. Find the objection of why your audiences no longer want to subscribe to your newsletter. You have to resell the product to them based on these objections. Challenges Brian Has Faced Earlier in his career, he was struggling to find a way to market his products on television. But when he saw how long an infomercial came in the 1980s, he swore to get into this business. Even though Brian didn't spend a lot of money on this, he had a lot of anxiety chasing this dream. Now, whenever he faces challenges, he keeps thinking and writing about them for himself. Journaling helps Brian be grateful.  Finding the Best for a Larger Audience It is impossible to bring new people and your new product together without looking beyond different niches. For business models with the most success, progression in niching down is a major characteristic. As an example, Brian discussed how some newsletter business owners are content with a hundred thousand subscribers. He reiterated how the biggest challenge he faced was figuring out ways to make his products' reach deeper rather than wider. Scaling and Tracking You cannot force a product on an audience. Focus instead on selling your product's benefits. Keep your resiliency for the particular problems you see in the world to integrate into direct response marketing.  If you take a general approach to scaling, you need to figure out how to specify your product without losing its simplicity. Try everything you can do to track your advertisements by attributing each medium of the campaign. Listen to the full episode for more examples of scaling audiences and tracking infomercials. Promotions and Responses Throughout Brian's career, he has observed companies accurately online marketing predictions. For him, the beauty of the sales cycle exciting it is when compared to traditional direct mail, where there is no sales message embedded. Every time you mail somebody, you could be taking away responses from a future offer by not addressing it immediately. In contrast with direct email, email and online marketing should aim to achieve something with every piece of promotion. Habits of a Successful Business Owner You do not have to be so religious about your work, but you need to prioritize the most important thing to do in your day. Be grateful for your life and the people around you. You will not be successful without the help of others. Avoid the prescription of illness where you tend to be envious of successful business owners. Approach life from a perspective of gratefulness. Instead, learn from successful people and try to collaborate with them. Ask them for advice on how to grow your own business. Brian's Future in Direct Response Marketing His life mission is to know the eternal truths of direct response marketing and bring them forward. Brian also strives to spend time with other people who will help him contribute to a significant change in the world. Brian is constantly thinking of how to create something extraordinary, which qualifies him to explore the online marketing world. He also shares how he is excited to have a mastermind group for multi-channel marketing. Brian aims to bring exponential growth in terms of media to both online and offline professionals  Brian's Final Words The same discipline with how sales messages are created still applies in online marketing. Spending a lot of time on email and online messaging is powerful, but it could turn more people off with new content. Ignore list selection and segmentation, even if it's cheap to send an email. 5 Powerful Quotes “And I went into New York City. And I actually visited some headhunters. And I said, I'm graduating in May. And this was January, and I said, ‘I really want to have a job when I get out.' And these headhunters, like looked at me, ‘Why, you know, you can't get a job. I can't recommend you for a job. You're not graduating for another six months.' But interestingly, you know, my whole life's been about serendipitous stuff. So sometimes you do something.”  “But I just loved, as you said, I think you hinted at it, that this idea that it was the audience's, it was how an audience responded to an offer. And my curiosity was so piqued by this business, that that's how I started getting all that curiosity to learn about copywriting and to learn about offers and to learn about the kind of direct mail.”  “You know, there's another rule of thumb in the list business: that your ex buyers, or previous customers, is always going to be your best list. So that concept could be taken into almost any business. Someone who was a subscriber to whatever you do, and they lapse, their subscription usually laughs because of time or money.” “What we did was we broke a big rule and said, we are going to go 25 minutes out of 28 and a half and not offer the call to action for the first time until we were maybe 24, 25 minutes in. (...) It was kind of a breakthrough format. Because we understood that that was a form that was clicked for that type of a product, we were able to get three out of four successes on TV in our first four shows.” “But it's about really being grateful for the people in your life, and their expertise, what they do, how they share it, how they share it with you, and how you learn from it, instead of being envious.”  About Brian Brian Kurtz is the founder and CEO of Titans Marketing LLC, which provides direct response marketing coaching, consultation, and educational services.

Today’s conversation is all about the nuances of personhood and leadership, and we couldn’t have a better guest than Brian Hayward, a man with no shortage of beautiful inner complexities. Brian has lived a winding life filled with pivots, learnings, and success in business, and he recently wrote The Great Chair, in which he explores the secret sauce of authentic board governance. Our conversation begins with Brian sharing his life’s story where he highlights the light and dark sides of his upbringing, problem-solving skills, and tendency to be solitary and work things out on his own. We talk about his career and what he is currently investing his time and energy in, and more than anything external, it is the inner value of finding joy in the moment that Brian emphasizes. We talk about our culture of valuing achievements, of doing rather than being, and the reality that feeling totally satisfied once an external goal has been reached is an illusion. In the last parts of our conversation, Brian dives deeper into his book, sharing his extensive experience in board meetings and the recipe for truly effective governance. For Brian, good leadership happens by attraction, and trust plays a key role in laying a foundation for this dynamic. Our society is run by the decisions made by governing bodies and when these groups are run in truly communal ways, they are far healthier.

There's some very actionable stuff in here and we both have different reasons as to why we do them. Check out our YouTube channel for these episodes in video form and additional content.

Connect with Brian on Twitter @bknorthpark and Matt on Instagram @mattty__jHere is a run down of the episode:Why do we do we need a morning routine? - (first 10 minutes)For Matt, he noticed he wasn't feeling completely on all day. We both have full time jobs and everyone knows the feeling when you just feel drained during the day. So Matt's big reason as to why he does this morning routine is to keep energy throughout the long day. For Brian, it helps lower anxiety and increase focus throughout the day. We are both in sales and talk to people all day so just the need to be focused and attentive helps at work. We also dive into how these help in our personal lives as well.

Brian Henderson in the Austin area joined us for this “2nd career” edition of Where Accountants Go, the Accounting Careers podcast.  This is one of our “second career” episodes meaning that the guest started in a different career first, and then migrated later on into accounting.  For Brian, it was professional baseball! Brian's boyhood dream was to play professional baseball, and unlike many though, he actually did get the opportunity to do so.  Although he was cut from his freshman team in high school, he continued to work at it, played college baseball, and eventually was able to get drafted to play professionally – which came with a signing bonus and two additional years of college scholarships for his post-baseball life.  Brian played for six to seven seasons, spending part of the time as a Durham Bull (reference the Kevin Costner movie), and was on a triple A team. How does this relate to accounting though???  We will get to that now… Many of the lessons Brian learned during his baseball days have served him well in accounting.  First was the lesson of persistence.  Had he not stuck it out in those early years, he never would have had the opportunity to play professionally later on.  This carried over to the determination he needed to return to school and finish his degree, hoping for a career that was a little easier from a physical standpoint.  Also, the people skills he developed during that time served him well for getting his first real accounting position… a position he basically got through networking.  And lastly, all kidding aside, he learned to “embrace the suck” (a quote from Brian), which definitely helped him through the time preparing for the CPA exam.  I think that's something most of us will understand.

Sometimes, our capacity to recover quickly from difficulties depend on two things: are you afraid of being different? Or you’re afraid of being like everyone else?  In this week’s episode, we are joined by Brian Mahan, who has helped many trauma survivors, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, specializes in the physiology of stress and in renegotiating shock and developmental trauma. Part One of ‘How to Have Resilience and Vibrancy in Life with Brian Mahan’ He suffered from developmental trauma, social anxiety, self-sabotage, self-loathing, shame, low self-esteem, depression, habitual re-enactments, and then came the 7-10 full-blown panic attacks every day, following a catastrophic car wreck.  After three sessions with a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, my panic attacks stopped, and I entered the three-year training program to become a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner two weeks later. Since 2004, thirteen of his clients have become practitioners as well. That is a true testament to the power and efficacy of his work. “We can't change the past, but we can change who we are and our relationship to it.” – Brian Mahan (41:46-41:49) When he was a child, he felt like there wasn’t anything that he could say or do enough. He learned to be whoever he was surrounded with. But when he was around more than two people, he became invisible and quiet. Those experiences made him realize that shame is used in every culture since the beginning to socialize children. It’s been used to protect the tribe, family, or the community. It’s also used to establish power and maintain the hierarchy. He describes it as a ubiquitous human experience.  He says, “I didn’t understand that my inability to socially engage was a result of the shame I felt for being different and not like everyone else.” And this is something we can all relate with, right? Sometimes, it’s not easy to recognize shame because it’s not always visible on the surface. When you’re talented, gifted and successful, shame can kick in because what you have sets you apart from other people. But there are two different kinds of shame: toxic shame and healthy shame. What’s the difference between the two? Part Two of ‘How to Have Resilience and Vibrancy in Life with Brian Mahan’ Toxic shame is when we identify with something negative like: “I’m bad.” “I’m less than broken.” “I’m different.” “I’m damaged.” “I don’t belong.” “I don’t have value.” “I’m broken.” “I’m unlovable and unlikeable.” To experience ultimate healing, what we want to do is nurture and support healthy shame. In the transmutation of toxic shame into healthy shame, we can use the power of discernment. It’s okay to recognize and acknowledge that you make mistakes. Thus, that helps us in socialization because shame exists around it.  We’re normally dependent upon others for our survival. And so, even as an infant, we have an instinctual drive to connect, join and maintain that relational connection no matter what. The experience of shame is the fear of having an interpersonal bridge be broken and the risk of being abandoned or neglected.  Brian shares the value in healing shame by stating, “In healing shame, what we work on is expanding the container of an adult, to be able to remember the dismembered parts and you can express yourself with authenticity.” “There's a way to rebuild your belief system in a way that's functioning and healthy.” – Dianne A. Allen (56:49-56:55) You can embrace every bit of what you have while setting a boundary between which parts you choose to come out and play, depending on which circumstances and people. You can choose to freely behave differently at church than you do at a football game. It doesn’t mean you’re being inauthentic; it only shows our capacity to be multifaceted. And that’s what gifted people are good at – thinking on multiple dimensions effortlessly. You may be asking, what does trauma have to do with all these things? Brian is not a traditional talk therapist, which means he believes that too much of the narrative can keep retelling the story and cause more trauma. His initial rule for the first two sessions is – no narrative. We have to learn to outgrow the story and focus on heading to the next level of freedom. Trauma isn’t a life sentence that you have to get stuck with forever.  About Brian Mahan Brian D. Mahan is not a traditional talk therapist. He's a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, specializing in working with anxiety, PTSD, developmental trauma, shock trauma and shame. For Brian's personal growth and desire to be more effective with his clientele, he has completed a 7-module training on Healing Shame with Bret Lyons, SEP, and Sheila Rubin, MA, LMFT, RDT/BCT, in Berkeley, CA. I am now certified in the Lyon/ Rubin Method for Healing Shame and currently assisting them in training. I’ve also taken extensive training in the study of developmental trauma. He's grateful to be in a position to help other trauma survivors and specializes in working with both developmental traumas (birth traumas, shame, abuse and neglect, attachment/detachment issues, etc.) and shock traumas (divorce, loss, falls, car wrecks, medical procedures, acts of violence, rape, torture, near death experiences, etc.).

In 2008 SaunaSpace founder Brian Richards needed to make a decision: fill prescriptions for acne, insomnia, and adrenal fatigue, or take a chance with Near Infrared (NIr) Sauna Therapy, as recommended by an alternative medicine doctor. For Brian, it was a no brainer. But there was a problem, at the time you couldn’t find an NIr sauna. So, he began his journey to change that. Over the following years, Brian became consumed with creating the perfect product, fueled by the healing transformation of his personal experience with NIr Sauna Therapy.

How To Craft A Rock Solid Sales Pitch To Potential Investors    A sales pitch is part of the selling process but not all salespeople know how to craft a rock-solid sales pitch to potential investors.  First, everyone is a salesperson. Regardless of what you do, everyone sells to someone. Brian Harrington started in the infomercial business. He worked for his father who was one of the principal pioneers of the infomercial industry. His experience taught him the craft of selling products on TV.  In those early years, Brian saw how easy it was to sell through television advertising but he eventually saw how investments could be lost as fast as money was made.  They made some changes and instead of sticking exclusively with Infomercials, they followed customers to where they were making their purchases. That decision led them to the digital world and social media.  Brian and his team started to sell products through Google and other online opportunities such as Facebook. Since then, they've branched out to several other platforms. They sell directly to consumers with a diverse selection of products including health and fitness, beauty, home products, and more but continue to also sell through traditional brick and mortar retail stores.  Brian's company sells products with a focus on three core worlds:  Product Education, providing ongoing training to entrepreneurs and sales professionals Investing/ Advising/Consulting where they help startup businesses grow and provide value.  Mistakes you're making when pitching to investors It's easy to make mistakes when pitching. especially if you have no idea how to craft a rock-solid sales pitch to potential investors. The first mistake people make is not being prepared.  If you show up to a meeting and don't know enough about their business, competition, industry, to answer a potential investor's basic questions, you can tank a meeting in the first few minutes. It can make you look incompetent in an area you claim a level of expertise. Investors do not want to get involved with people who seem to lack core knowledge.  Simple changes can make the pitch so much better.  Brian says it can be broken down into 3 easy steps: The Tease, The Please, and The Seize.  The Tease, The Please, and The Seize  The Tease:  Get the investor's attention right away. The first impression matters and you have a small window to capture a potential investor's interest. Cater the pitch to the person you're pitching to and keep the company's culture in mind.  BE PREPARED. Your goal is to capture their attention and interest in the first 10 seconds.   You also want to be mindful of how your actions and words may be received by your audience.  If you're working with international investors, do the research about how to conduct yourself during the meeting in order not to make a faux pas.  The Please: On the one hand, you want to be sure you're prepared to answer any questions your potential investor might ask. On the other hand, you also want to withhold enough information so they continue to ask questions and dialogue continues.  Take a breath when you're talking and allow those questions to happen. These unanswered questions will keep them excited and interested in hearing more. There's a balance between the information you want to offer and the information you want to hold onto until the pitch closes.  The Seize: Once you've had a great launch to your pitch and generated excitement, your job is to keep up the energy. You do this by making sure every pitch has a call to action.  You want to think of ways to make your pitch intriguing enough for the investor to enjoy your presentation, see the value in your product, and have the desire to work with you in a new venture.  You want them to have confidence in you and the products or services you represent. It's important to take the time to do the research in potential investors.  Make sure you know they're looking to invest in your industry or type of product before you ever get in front of them.  Find out what kinds of pitches they're drawn to. For Brian, the best pitches are the ones that come from people who command attention and hold the attention of the room throughout the presentation.  Have the right amount of confidence  Confidence is key for any salesperson. That confidence, however, has to balance with the facts that are being offered.  A good investor is going to research the data you are using to support your claims so stick with the truth. Don't makeup stories to make yourself look good.  It can compromise your integrity and an investor needs to be able to trust you.  You also want to be careful about being annoying.  Again, you don't have a lot of time to make a great first impression.  You don't want to come off as too cocky or flashy. The best course of action is to substantiate your claims and have a real plan you can confidently and competently execute.  The truth is, not all pitches will be successful. There are risks in every opportunity but oftentimes, the rewards are bigger than the risks. You can lower the risks by offering realistic projections that show you've systematically mapped out how you're going to make a profit.  Crafting a Great Sales Pitch As a salesperson, it's your job to craft a rock-solid sales pitch to potential investors. The right pitch doesn't sound too  “salesy.” During a pitch, be careful of talking too much. It could seem like you're trying too hard and can be perceived as a lack of confidence in your presentation.  Turn that around by keeping these key elements in mind when crafting a great sales pitch: Come prepared Be confident Know your business Show a level of traction and validation  When presenting, take a deep breath and refrain from repeating the same things over and over again.  “How To Craft A Rock Solid Sales Pitch To Potential Investors” episode resources Connect with Brian Harrington by emailing him at brian@kevingharrington.tv.

Brian Mayer brings back his favorite guest – his wife Heather Mayer.  In today's episode, they both talk through what are some of the foundational pieces of the relationship that helps to keep their bond strong.  Take some of what you hear today and work to implement these things into your own relationship.  Just because a past marriage didn't work out, doesn't meant that the next one won't work out.  Listen to this episode with your significant other so you can get the most out of what you are hearing together.  We hope you enjoy today's message.  For more information and additional resources please visit our website at http://www.theremarriedlife.com Today's Goodies Ever heard the quote, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.”  This one is often quoted to Albert Einstein but apparently this is not true and some research on the subject shows that it may have been attributed to Rita Mae Brown an author who wrote this in her 1983 book called Sudden Death.  But that is not what is most important.  It is the quote itself. We can't keep doing in our current relationships what we did in our past relationships.  “2+2” is always going to equal “4.”  In order to get “5” we have to change one of the parts. If we don't we will continue to get “4” as the answer. Let's talk about a more positive thought or quote and that is “If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I'll bet they'd live a lot differently” by Bill Watterson (cartoonist who wrote “Calvin and Hobbes”).  This might mean different things to different people, but it could mean that we have to get outside our current situation sometimes and look at the relationship as a whole and spend more time thinking and cultivating that than putting so much time in the “Argument du jour (of the day).”     Today Brian and Heather will talk about some ways that they work and interact together, that helps them take their eyes off of the tornado that might be presently surrounding them and onto the calm waters of the type of relationship they truly desire.   Forgiveness is very important.  This is letting your partner off the hook and to stop punishing them for something they have done.  It doesn't mean you trust again or that you condone the behavior.  Sometimes you have to do this from afar if safety is an issue and abuse is present.  Spending Time Together.  In today's busy and crazy world, with long work hours, different schedules, kids, and their activities this one can be difficult.  Be proactive when it comes to this one.  If you both belong to the gym and can coordinate working out together as an example then do that.  Or after the kids go to bed make it a point to spend a bit of quality time together.  Letting Things Go.  This one can be a bit like forgiveness but it more has to do with the individual mental choice to move on from a situation.  This can really help to promote better good will, when you can remember a situation that did not go well but you can't remember the specifics of what you talked about.  Of course don't sweep things under the rug but also don't hold grudges.  Not Trying to Change The Other.  If you spend a lot of your time trying to change someone else you might be waiting a long time.  Sometimes it might never happen.  Spend most of your time reflecting on what you are doing and how might you work on changing.  Often this type of thinking will have a positive impact on changing your partner (sometimes not though).  Dealing With Past Baggage.  This one is difficult because we often do not realize that we are reacting to our current spouse because of something that was done in our past relationship or childhood.  The first step in doing anything about this is recognizing it is happening and then secondly working to disconnect from it.  If you can't do this on your own then seeking help from a professional that can certainly speed that process up.  Spiritual Beliefs.  In Heather and Brian's case, they have a strong Christian faith.  While not perfect they both will work to grow closer to God and in doing so usually grow closer to each other.  Think about a triangle with each of you at the different points in the base and God at top as you grow closer to God you will automatically grow close to each other.    Prioritize Each Other's Love Language.  The 5 Love Languages according to the book by Gary Chapman are Words of Affirmation, Physical Touch, Acts of Service, Quality Time, and Gifts.  For Brian, his greatest love language is words of affirmation while Heather's is physical touch.  They both work hard to make sure they are loving the other in that love language.   Resources: None Mentioned Today Thanks For Listening!

If you got invited to a dinner party with Oprah, Obama, and Andrew Zimmern (and wouldn’t that be some invite?!), chances are they’d want you to bring a baked good from Red Truck Bakery in Marshall, VA. Baker Brian Noyes has served cakes and pies to them and lots of other famous folks from his off-the-beaten-path spots -- now two of them -- in rural Virginia, but I found him through one perfect bite of Lexington Bourbon Cake at Garden & Gun’s Made in the South weekend. See, I don’t consider myself an expert cook but I do know my way around a bundt pan, and this cake was a confection of my dreams. For Brian, it’s a combination of culinary training, sourcing local, and plenty of “go big or go home” attitude that makes his work a continued and delicious success. I had to know more, and well, he said he’d fly to Charleston with pie. Who could turn that down?

This week, I'm excited to welcome Brian Richards. In 2008 SaunaSpace founder Brian needed to make a decision: fill prescriptions for acne, insomnia, and adrenal fatigue, or take a chance with Near Infrared ( NIr) Sauna Therapy, as recommended by an alternative medicine doctor. For Brian, it was a no brainer. But there was a problem, at the time you couldn’t find an NIr sauna. So, he began his journey to change that. Over the following years, Brian became consumed with creating the perfect product, fueled by the healing transformation of his personal experience with NIr Sauna Therapy. At the beginning, SaunaSpace was one big DIY project, where Brian did everything from designing his logo and website to building every sauna himself. With so much to do, Brian brought in his trusted friends Rusty as Lead Design and Tony for Chief Ops to accelerate SaunaSpace Product & Production Development. Today, Brian heads our ten-person team that operates 3,500 square feet of workshop space spread over two locations. Questions we ask in this episode: What are the main benefits of infrared saunas? Is EMF a concern with infrared sauna use? What are your thoughts on mixing infrared saunas with cold therapy? https://180nutrition.com.au/shop/ This week, I'm excited to welcome Brian Richards. Brian is the founder and lead product developer of SaunaSpace, an innovative company doing remarkable things with near infrared saunas in order to help others discover the pathway to natural healing. In this episode, we discuss how Brian fully healed his toxin related acne, brain fog, adrenal fatigue, and more with the power of incandescent sauna therapy, full spectrum near infrared light and heat therapy. We dig into the science behind Near Infrared Saunas and discover how we can use this technology to optimize our own health. Over to Brian. Hi, guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I'm delighted to welcome Brian Richards to the podcast. Brian, how are you, man? Brian 00:01:30 I'm good. Thank you. How are you doing? Stu 00:01:33 Yeah, very well. Thank you. Thanks so much for your time. Before we get into the questions, I'd love it if you could just share a little bit about yourself for our audience that may not know or have heard about your work, please. Brian 00:01:46 Yeah, of course. So, I'm the founder of SaunaSpace. We manufacture incandescent infrared saunas is a very special type of sauna, it's a very special type of infrared called Near Infrared. But my story is, I think, similar to many people nowadays. Six years ago, over six years ago now, I had what I eventually understood to be adrenal fatigue problems. I had mind racing, insomnia, I had this weird acne that was only in my torso. I was also kind of negative and irascible and low energy kind of lethargic. This was at the end of my college career while I'm still young but at this point I felt like there was something intractably wrong with me. I went to the dermatologist and they prescribe Accutane, which it turns out is a horrible thing. And all the other pharmacological approaches as well. So I said, "No, there's got to be something else." I got on the internet, like everybody does nowadays and I searched for an answer, for my own answer. And I kept encountering sauna and detoxification and this idea that environmental toxins are a core contributing factor to disease and these other things, all these problems. So, sort of at the end of that I stumbled upon this really unique type of sauna. It's called it it's called the Incandescent Sauna, what SaunaSpace does. It was actually invented and pioneered by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg in 1891. So, for those of you are not familiar, Kellogg's cornflakes, this is an interesting aside. At that time, in the early 20th century, out of control male libido was thought to be a problem. So they thought, oh, well, we'll feed the all the adult males this bland food that we call cornflakes now and it'll lower male libido. So fast forward today, and they have achieved their goal. So, funnily enough though, this guy had really, he was very avant-garde. He was doing some very unique approaches, alternative healing approaches in the early 20th century. One of them was this. He said, "Hey," three years after the labels were invented, "Let's use them for sauna heaters and we'll heat the body and we'll heal people."  And so you can see in 1910, he wrote a book called photo therapeutics. So here we have light therapy been understood over 100 years ago, and it was not just him, but he pioneer this, he called the electric incandescent bath, you can actually see photos of these big victorian looking cabinets from that era there. They're insane. And so there's there's a modern book called Sauna Therapy for Detoxification and Healing by Dr. Lawrence Wilson, to whom I'm eternally grateful for re-popularizing the concept. And so I said, "Hey, I'm a tinkerer. I'm a builder, I'll build my own." I built my own. I did a session right before bed, and then another one right before bed the next day and it was like, boom, my insomnia was completely gone. I slept like a log and I woke up in the morning and I felt truly rested. Instead of, normally, I would sit in bed and just stare and my mind would be racing. So I thought that intrigued me. That was the initial thing that intrigued me so quickly, how could this be? Subsequently, I used it for six months with discipline, 45 minutes a day. And this is before I understood any of the science and any of the things that we'll talk about. But essentially, it was out of self interest. I had health problem, I wanted to fix it. I stumbled on this and I had an amazing recovery. So, six months later, I realized, " Oh, that's what adrenal fatigue is." I was qualitatively better. I was less irascible, I had more patience, more energy, a qualitatively better mood, just more of a go getter like more ready to just concentrate and complete tasks and complete things, and how do you measure this? For me, it was priceless. The change. And yet, if you met the old me six months prior, you'd say, "Well, what's wrong with you? You look fine." And so I kind of figured it out on my own. It started slowly but I built a few for this, and that and my friends and family and it slowly became SaunaSpace. I got my own business loan, that was six years ago, and I started with a very bricolage kind of garage project to now, it's a completely custom made, custom designed to make a commercial properly designed, safely designed product that anyone can use at home. And it's been a long journey from there to here but I now have like 24 employees. You can see behind me, this is our new shop, we just moved into. It's huge. [crosstalk 00:06:47] Stu 00:06:46 Yeah. It's so [inaudible 00:06:48] there in the background for sure. Wow. For full transcript and interview: https://180nutrition.com.au/180-tv/brian-richards-interview/

Brian shares what he learned from his 40 day fast. He asked, are there freedoms God has given me that I'm abusing? For Brian it was food.

Brian Linton is the Founder and CEO of outdoor brand and ocean protector, United by Blue. Brian found early inspiration in the oceans, waterways and shipping lanes of Southeast Asia. He launched an ethical and eco conscious brand, and thoughtfully scaled the business and environmental sides (simultaneously) with great success. For Brian, sustainability is not a status quo but he’ll tell you more about that.

Glenn, Meryl, Holly, Sally, Cher. Name a more iconic quintet... We begin a mini-series charting the five nominated actresses of the 1987 Oscars, starting with a film that epitomised Reagan-era Fear of Sex, but so indelibly that phrases like “bunny-boiling” still permeate our speech. Glenn Close plays Alex Forrest, the hyper-sexualised and independent woman whose fling with married man Michael Douglas got hot, then very, very heavy. And more than 30 years later the Broad Appeal boys are split: For Brian, Glenn struggles spectacularly in an exploitative and sexist role. As for Seán, well he agrees with Brian...but in this finely crafted blockbuster thriller, he can't help but be manipulated by the conventions of monster-horror. What follows is a deadly discussion, and one of our most heated episodes to date!  This episode is not going to be IGNORED, dear listener. Clips from the film presented according to fair use policy. Podcast Theme: "Pipeline" by CyberSDF (https://soundcloud.com/cybersdf/tracks).

Brian Matsen is widely known and respected as a highly successful entrepreneur, sales trainer, investor, speaker and proven expert in personal development. His successful career has spanned over 20 years. He has worked for some of the largest financial institutions in the world including, 14 years as a Regional Vice President with ING and Voya Financial, a Fortune 500 company. He has received numerous national sales growth and achievement awards while amassing over one billion dollars in sales.   Podcast Highlights   Who is Brian Matsen? Brian is just a normal guy. He grew up in Orange County, California, loved sports, like most kids and wasn’t in love with school, like most kids. For Brian, school was always a focus challenge. He felt that his future success as an adult would be reduced because he couldn’t succeed like everyone said he should in school.   Sports taught Brian to work hard and built his confidence. One of his most difficult experiences was when he volunteered in Puerto Rico without knowing a word of spanish. He was forced to confront his fear of speaking to people and grow as a result.   The first five years after college were a real struggle for Brian. After being let go from his fourth job in five years, Brian realized that if he kept doing the same thing, he was going to get the same results. This lead him to personal development and focusing on growing his own skill set.   Setting Big Goals Brian had the golden handcuffs at the time but he realized that he had a lot of the answers that people are searching for that could help them take their career to the next level. Fear is the number one cause of failure and it never goes away. If you’re going to expand as a person, you will always have to push through the terror barrier. Getting real clear on exactly what you want is key to personal development. Most people never set their goals and have no idea what they really want. The type of goals you should be going after are the ones you really want to achieve but have no idea how to do it. Setting a truly ambitious goal can change your life and your business. A C type goal is a tenfold increase, not an incremental gain. Paradigms dictate everything you do, if you don’t have the right mindset you are never going to achieve this kind of goal. Paradigm Shifts Paradigms are mental programs that have exclusive control over your habits. Paradigms come together to create a company culture. You become programmed to earn a certain amount of money over time. Your paradigm won’t change without a dramatic or tragic change in your life or constant spaced repetition. Most people that come to Brian feel stuck, they are unhappy with what they are currently at and know that their results won’t change unless they do. We inherit the habits of our ancestors, they are not easy to change but once you understand how to do it, you can make a quantum leap in your life. You need to rewire your subconscious mind because 95% of what you do is driven by your subconscious mind. It’s not about what you know, it’s about what you do. Brian’s Takeaway   The voice is a great example of your paradigm talking to you. Ignore that and listen to your intuition that says you can do it.

We don’t wanna wait for this movie to be over…but like the killer kids it features, it just won’t die. For Brian’s first pick, he chose the painfully boring James Van Der Beek Left Behind knockoff The Plague from 2006. Do you like Children of the Corn, Village of the Damned, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Romero zombie films, and religious Armageddon? This movie borrows heavily from all of them but not the good parts, and even the “living” characters are portrayed as zombies. Bottom line, this is a snoozer of a movie but Matt and Scott are wide awake and do their best to snap Brian out of his Dawson’s Creek fugue state. Let us touch your face and steal your soul this week on Horror Movie Night!

You may be yin, and I may be yang, but we can all agree on Emma Thompson. For some, she is the queen of 90s prestige filmmaking, for others (i.e. Brian) she is a role model, an idol, a way of life. SENSE AND SENSIBILITY (which Em wrote and starred in) takes 18th century English manners and deconstructs them through the Taiwanese lens of director And Lee. The story of wildly disparate sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood certainly left its impact on your wildly disparate hosts. For Brian it was fuel to the fire of his love and passion for Emma, for Seán it was some frou-frou trailer at the start of the VHS tape of Addams Family Values. But will the older, wiser Seán be able to come to his senses (as opposed to sensibilities) and to look beyond the Empire waistlines to see this film for what it is: a delightful, insightful comedy that is as much Thompson as it is Austen? Reader, he loved it. (That's her, right? - Ed. Note: No, Seán, that’s Charlotte Brontë) Part 1 of 3 Clips from the film presented according to fair use policy.

Sometimes you have to go to extremes to break through the noise and connect with people... the shock n' awe approach. For Brian and Jason of Good Fucking Design Advice, that was use of the F-word. Seems like a risky move but it works for them. Brian Buirge and Jason Bacher operate the unorthodox design website called Good Fucking Design Advice where they share design advice and a lot more by incorporating profanity to connect with their audience. On the surface, it appears to be swearing for the sake of being bold and different but when you dive in to their story, there is so much more to learn. Brian, the "good cop of GFDA", joins us on the Neon Noise podcast to discuss the following: How Good Fucking Design Advice was born and the realization their use of profanity was connecting to an audience The rules they established for operating the site Stories of how they approach risk and how they tackle failures How to take risks and creatively break through the marketing noise to be heard Some details about the book they are working on now What the GFDA pledge is and why it exists The current state of design in the online world and the future of design We hope our conversation with Brian brings you a fresh perspective using a risky approach to cut through the noisy landscape and carve out a space to be heard.

Letting the Spouse Run Their Own BusinessBrian confesses that one of the hardest things for him to do is to back away and let Ashley do her own thing with her business. It's not often that two entrepreneurs get together in a marriage, but when it happens, each partner may find it difficult to zip their mouth about their ideas.Sometimes it's better to let your partner make decisions for his or her business, and only state your view when it's requested. Aim to limit voicing your opinions on the other's business and try to limit discussing details that pop into your head, even though it's tempting.2. Why Both Details and Vision are Necessary for EntrepreneursThere are two ways to describe a person's work personality: They are either the visionary person that can come up with ideas, or they are the disciplined worker that gets tasks done.Often, entrepreneurs are the visionary ones. However, they will likely stay dreamers, unless they put their ideas into action. So, the beginning stages of business usually require that the entrepreneur have both qualities.If you have dreams and you execute them well, it's only a matter of time before you can hire someone to carry out day-to-day tasks.3. Have Passion in BusinessLike Brian says, it's important to have passion because when you're tired of dealing with all the problems, you'll need strength to keep going.If you don't have solid reasoning for why you're doing your business and why you must pull through, you may throw in the towel when things get rough.Brian suggests that it's much easier to deal with all the small details and frustrations that are bound to happen if you have a firm understanding of why you're doing everything you're doing.Know beforehand whether your business is what you want, and make sure you put your personality into your brand so that you can stay interested and focused for years to come.Find Out MoreThank you for listening to The Making of Smile & Co. podcast.

In dark days, when the values of democracy and equality seem threatened who doesn't want to don some fishnets and dance the Time Warp? Who wouldn't rather blast off to the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania? Why not construct a blond, tanned muscle god who exists solely for the purpose of 'relieving our tension', as we fuck indiscriminately in a bacchanalian orgy? We didn't get to THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW at Halloween but in our post-Election daze perhaps Dr. Frank N. Furter is exactly the presiding spirit we really need right now. For Seán, the film was a seminal adolescent text: introducing him to queerness, camp, and the possibility of a life lived in the company of weirdos. For Brian, it was a cult classic that he never got around to seeing. In this next installment of our miniseries THE MALE GAYZ, we debate the film's merits as well as its representation of sexual fluidity. (SPOILER ALERT: We don't agree.) Even if the contentiousness seems to reflect the current global mood, hopefully we can all remember that there's still a light over at the Frankenstein place... DON'T DREAM IT, BE IT!

Brian DeMars came from a poor family in the Bronx. He became a musician writing and playing jazz/rock fusion music but eventually carried on his father's trade of printing for the direct mail business.  Off of a friend's recommendation, Brian and his wife went to one of Tyrone's Wealthy Investor Seminars. For Brian's first trade, he bought 100 shares of Disney. He wrote an out of the money covered call and he loved the feeling of making money from his first trade! After two months in classes with Tyrone he felt comfortable managing three accounts for himself and his wife. To this day, covered calls are still his favorite trades. Brian believes that money needs a plan. He sets short term and long term goals for himself. When it comes to fear he says, "Fear is something you have to say to yourself, I can face everything and run or I can face everything and recoup some money." He also has a personal acronymn: TIME - Trades I Must Experience. Experience these trades for yourself! Visit TheWealthyInvestor.net to start your financial education now!     

Brian Lorenz was born to perform! Born and raised in a small town in the Philippines, he started singing and dancing at school from an early age. His late father always encouraged him to perform and he was often putting on a show for him in exchange for lollies. As a common trend in his hometown, Brian moved to the big city to explore the opportunities that Manila could offer. One opportunity lead to another and he travelled to many countries for dance engagements. For Brian to fulfill his dreams and aspirations he knew he would have to leave the Philippines and so Australia became the lucky country and in 2008 Brian arrived in Sydney to start a new life. He began his journey by studying hairdressing whilst continuing with his dancing and quickly became entrenched in the Ballroom Dancing community. In 2009, Brian's talent for dancing was spotted and he was offered a scholarship to study his Bachelor of Dance at Wesley College in Sydney where he graduated in 2011. After dancing for over a decade, Brian never had confidence in his singing until he was prevented from entering a Talent Quest as a dancer (as he was too good and too experienced). Instead he entered as a vocalist. He went on to win the quest singing one of his now signature songs "The Prayer". Realising now that he could sing, Brian whilst still studying continued to enter Talent Quests around Sydney and became well acquainted to performing with a live band and over time gained popularity in the main stream and in the Filipino community. The experience was invaluable and after winning competitions at Blacktown RSL, Cabra-Vale Diggers, Lakemba Ex Servicemen’s Club and Canterbury Bankstown Leagues Club, he has transitioned into being one of the featured performers in many leading clubs and venues all over New South Wales. Since the start of his professional performing career he has already shared the stage with Australia’s leading and multi-awarded international performers Karen Beckett, Stephen Fisher King, Kel-Anne Brandt and Lisa Crouch. Not to mention Australia’s X-Factor winners Dami Im and Marlisa Ann and Israel X-Factor winner Rose Fostanes. In 2013, Brian started producing his own shows and has received outstanding reviews. With his wonderful voice from heaven and his unique ability to entertain he has created a big fan base and due to widespread requests saw him launch his debut album "It's Time" at his spectacular self produced production show at Rooty Hill RSL in October 2014. Brian has become one of the most sought after Filipino artists in Australia. He can sing, he can dance and he sure can entertain!

Effective marketing is many times just as much of an art as it is a science.  Well, today, Brian Moran is bringing the science side to the table as he breaks down and dissects the exact 7-step process he uses to create monthly 6-figure income on Facebook!   The first step is really what sets his process apart from most other approaches that are not as effective on Facebook, which is creating a custom landing page inside Facebook (vs. taking the person out of the Facebook platform).   For Brian, this results in a 50% increase in his conversions, AND, on average, he’s seeing 70 out of every 100 visitors “Liking” his page, which is essentially like getting another conversion from the same person!   One big piece that sets Brian’s approach apart from the way most other businesses view Facebook is he sees it as an asset.  Both the people who take the time to view and like his content, as well as how to speak to and market to those people.   Way too many business owners see Facebook as a distracting, unimportant website that they need to post the occasional status update on to keep their people “happy” and they are basically just going through the motions without any sort of strategy or goal.   That is a colossal waste of an incredible opportunity.   Walk step-by-step through his process and pay close attention.   One strategy you absolutely don’t want to miss is his upsell process, and almost more importantly his upsell philosophy.  It will forever reshape your opinion of upsetting your clients.   And, make sure you catch the case study results from real clients at the end.  One guy went from struggle for 5 years to generating over $12,000 in income in 2 weeks!   For more details, head over to lifeonfire.com/55!     Fired up about Brian’s system?  If so, please write us a review in iTunes telling us what you love about Life on Fire TV and give us a 5-star rating!   Thank you for subscribing to our podcast in iTunes!  Make today YOUR day!
