Does humour have a place in real estate? If you know Eric Simon or Matt Lionetti, you know that it does!   Eric is the founder and CEO of The Broke Agent, a comedic media brand focused on the entertainment of real estate professionals. Matt Lionetti is a real estate agent and content creator from Toronto, Canada. Matt has built his business on social media by utilizing humour into his marketing. He believes showcasing his personality is the best way to connect with his potential clients.    The two bonded over their shared love for comedy and real estate. While they haven't yet met in person due to the pandemic, Eric and Matt co-host a podcast, the Over Ask Podcast.   This was a  RUN GPG first, having two guests together at the same time, on the same show.    So, why does humour work for them in terms of real estate marketing?   “It's actually more about finding your own lane,” said Matt.    “You don't have to be funny. You have to do whatever works for you. A lot of people try to be funny and it turns out to be cringy because I believe a humorous skit, if you're not 100% dedicated to that skit, it will come across as uncomfortable for you and the viewer,” said Matt.   For Eric, it's about going viral. Humorous content has the potential to go viral and so it's a way for real estate agents to grow their brand.    “There are so many agents now realizing that humour in marketing is the best way to go viral,” says Eric.    For Eric and Matt, their humorous content is also based on authentic experiences from real estate agents. This makes their content relatable.    However, it's not just about being funny. Branding is also about producing really good content with consistency.      These were some of the topics we touched on during our fun and funny podcast:     How Eric Simon and Matt Lionetti connected with each other.  Funny content provides a different form of marketing in the real estate industry, which is why it works.  True humour is the funniest type of humour - this is on Eric and Matt's propensity to make funny content based on real-life experiences of real estate agents. A name that sticks out and consistency in providing content worked well for the branding of The Broke Agent. A lot of agents are afraid to adapt to a new platform because it's a lot to take on. However, if you want to get your name out there, you really have to.  How Eric and Matt deal with haters in the comment section.  Examples of Eric and Matt's viral content. How important is live content? Advice for the everyday agent: Find your niche and do something you're good at.  How Eric and Matt ended up in real estate.  What do people usually expect when they meet Eric and Matt? What to know about the Over Ask Podcast.  Who are Eric and Matt's dream podcast guests? Navigating the world of podcasting.  About Eric and Matt's merchandise.  The three people Eric and Matt want to have dinner with.  Eric and Matt play a game of “Shut It Down” with RUN GPG.     Having two guests provided double the fun and double the learning.

For Eric, social drinking was at the center of his life. Whether he was hosting cultural meals or tailgating for football games, the menu included whatever booze fit the scene. This was Eric's life for many years until he realized he wanted more. When Eric started searching for answers the discovery of This Naked Mind and a community of support helped him escape the guilt he felt from all his recurring “day ones” and finally discover the creativity, health and freedom that he had been longing for.

This week, we have the full panel of the ADHD reWired Podcast Family joining in for this month's Q&A Session, recorded on July 13th 2021. Find all the good stuff below!   [00:03:56] Maria, a mom and former teacher, asks about subtypes of ADHD. She also asks about structure and looks for tools to strategize while jump-starting a teaching career online and plan better.  Eric explains how ADHD “subtypes” shifted to “presentations” because over time, the presentation of ADHD can change. He also goes in depth about the diagnostic criteria, and the differences between children and adults. Most adults are the “combined” type of ADHD, along with Eric himself. When looking for strategies, he goes on to explain how it's important to look at the functional impairments. Any kind of diagnosis is a starting point, but isn't prescriptive. Moira explains how as people age, the more we internalize symptoms, so the hyperactivity may be more in thought rather than physically hyperactive. Women are also more likely to be inattentive, in the inattentive type. As Maria put it: “Meta inattentiveness!”   [00:09:24] Malika asks about menopause and how she's observed that her symptoms have become much worse since it came on full time.  Moira talks about estrogen, and once someone goes through menopause, the body doesn't make any more. Estrogen reduces ADHD symptoms, which is why when women are pregnant, they present with fewer ADHD symptoms. And, while women are in perimenopause, the estrogen levels are more erratic than in puberty. She talks about how hormone replacement therapy can be used to replace estrogen, and it also depends on someone's own health profile and family history,  and hormone replacement therapy may not be for everyone. Another suggestion was increasing medication during that time, and a lot of things around lifestyle become important. Resource mentioned here:    [0:14:31] Sandra asks, “How can I help my 14-year-old son become more organized for high school, and writing notes for his classes to study from for tests?” Brendan asks parents of ADHD kids: What's going on with the IEP and the 504? What are the supports happening at school to help him get to where he needs to be? Brendan says the best option is to have someone take notes or provide them for him so that he has good notes to study from, whether it's a teacher or a peer, so he can study notes that are useful. He explains that someone giving a model can help Sandra's son understand how he should be taking notes so he can do a better job with moving forward. Brendan also explains to be patient as he practices his new [note-taking] skill, and to leverage IEPs, 504s, and talking to teachers, guidance counsellors, special education teachers, etc.  Roxie talks about how she's had to work really hard to take better notes and that models are helpful. She acknowledges that it's about incremental changes, because the template or the model doesn't automatically mean we become amazing at it right away.  Resource mentioned here: Eric mentions a course on how to draw your notes. He also explains that sometimes we don't know what's important, so we might take notes on everything, then we try to distill what's important and what's not.  Brendan also suggests taking notes in two different colors, and to switch colors when a concept changes.  Will reiterates the sketchnote idea and is great to help create that organization. Will also mentions the Cornell-style of taking notes, then Brendan goes in depth with how they work and how he makes that style work for him. It can be good for [taking notes during] business meetings, too! Moira found how-to books, and suggests that note taking is a life-long skill. As a teacher, she actively tried to teach these tips to her students, not realizing it was because of her own struggle with it. She also recommends having conversations with educators who are going to be more helpful with things like this, so that it can be looked at as building a lifelong skill. It's also okay for students to rely on their peer groups for good notes, share each other's strengths, and can make studying easier, too.  MJ looks at note-taking from the student-perspective and how she would have liked to have been a part of the conversation to explain what works [for her], what doesn't, and why. She explains that allowing kids to have the voice to explain what does work versus being told how it's “supposed” to be done could be really helpful.  Roxie brings up how it can be difficult to prioritize what's important. She finds it helpful if she is really specific and succinct about what is going into the note-taking experience and writes a little road map. Eric emphasizes that, with all things ADHD, they require experimentation until we find out what works.   [00:30:30] Ryan, who is in her mid-20's, talks about struggling in the workplace with event planning and asks about a good system and starting place for planning, looking for tools on one hand and methods on the other. Eric says she gets to try a bunch of different tools to find the ones that work. Then, once they “stop working”, it's likely because it got boring to use. He explains that there isn't one “right” way to manage “all the things.” One rule, Eric explains, is to, “Get things out of your head. Don't keep things in your head ever, it's one of the most reliable places where things get lost.” In other words: Externalize as much information as possible using things like a calendar or a to-do list. He goes on to say that the issue may not be the tool, but how often we are interacting with the tools we have. Eric then explains how to “cue” ourselves when things are coming up, and to write in more information we need on our to-do lists and in our calendars than we think we need. Brendan shares the way he used to consistently screw up his own calendar, and shares what he does now so that others don't make the same mistakes. He emphasizes writing down a “point-person” when a task or calendar event involves reaching out to someone. Brendan also talks about segmenting the to-do list in “today”, “this week”, and “this month/later”, depending on the individual's ability to hold information and organize, how breaking it down could reduce overwhelm, and to write specific dates so we know when things are coming up and when they are due.  Eric gets really specific: “What you're doing NOW, what you're doing NEXT. Everything else is just noise.”  Will says the biggest part about using planners is consistency in getting used to that system and how there's no perfect planner. Using one that's “good enough” often really helps, and that it's “okay it's not perfect.”  Roxie finds that when she's having a hard time getting things done on her to-do list, it's a good idea for her to check her boundaries if she is saying yes to too many things. Eric-ism: “Just because it got put on your to do list doesn't mean it has squatter rights to stay there.”    [00:39:43] Kim asks about food and diet, and how they went on a whole-food plant-based vegan diet. They've found it has helped with their energy and ADHD symptoms, and wonders if that is the experience of others who have gone on a whole-food plan-based vegan diet.   MJ talks about how she experimented with pescatarian, vegan, then raw vegan diets in the past. For her, it depended on her activity levels and continues practicing with what her body feels like when she eats certain foods because it's not always the same. She goes on to explain how it [a diet] depends on a person's tolerances, allergies, and that it can take some experimentation, and learning and observing what feels good when we eat certain foods. Will says when we switch to diets like that, we tend to “up” the quality of foods we're eating vs. eating foods detrimental to our ADHD. He also explains that there aren't any specific studies [with data to back up] on diets that are good for ADHD. Roxie talks about inflammation, and how certain foods can cause inflammation, which causes brain-fog. For her, highly refined foods cause her to feel foggy.  Eric talks about how corn is in a ton of things, and when there's inflammation, it causes brain-fog, which affects quality of life. On an individual basis, he also encourages paying attention to the foods that do make us feel good, and the ones that don't make us feel good. Experiment, and drink lots of water! Brendan circles back to what Will spoke to - we feel good when we replace “the crap” with broccoli and lettuce and apples and stuff. It's important to recognize what makes us feel better because extreme diets are hard to maintain, and instead look at the fine-tuning.  Moira works with a dietician who gave her an analogy: “When we have a sore throat, we're not going to eat scratchy foods because it's going to irritate our throats…. So if we're eating smooth, cold things, it's going to feel better. But it doesn't necessarily mean that we should [always] eat that way.” And if we take something out of our diet like a whole food group but aren't replacing it with something, we may become nutritionally deficient.    [00:48:34] Gina is in the middle of getting assessed for ADHD and wonders about medication to bridge the gap between her strategies and her brain. She asks what it felt like if any of the panelists began taking ADHD medication as an adult. She wonders if medication may have a placebo effect or if it's actually working. Eric talks about a WOW-effect when taking ADHD meds/stimulant medication. He vividly remembers taking his ADHD medication and, for the first time, he got through a chapter and actually remembered what he just read. For Eric, when the meds are working, it's a profoundly noticeable difference and shifts him out of neutral.  For Brendan, taking ADHD medication was subtle - more of a “heh!” than a “wow”. He noticed he would pick things up and put them away instead of just walking by them, thinking “Oh this must be what neurotypical people do.” Then, Eric and Brendan emphasize that their ADHD medication helps them do the things that normal people make look easy.  Moira found that, as she was driving, she wasn't strategizing while driving. ADHD medication also gave her more peace because she didn't have as many thoughts. She explains that folks who have ovaries and a cycle, hormones will impact how medication works throughout the cycle. Moira and Eric also explain that a general rule is to increase medication dosage until the side-effects outweigh the benefits.  Will is similar to Brendan with how the medication works for him, and finds it really noticeable when he's not on medication. He notices it takes a long time to form thoughts, has long pauses, and answers things slowly. For Will, medication makes him feel “back to normal”.  MJ is also in the “heh” camp like Will and Brendan. The “wow” came later when she noticed that she was able to catch up on two weeks of paperwork when she started medication. Her house got really clean, too. Roxie, while talking with her accountability team, explained how she's had a hard time activating on some things, and lost sight of the medication piece when it came to activation. She wanted to err on the side of caution and spoke with her doctor about her dosage. She was happy to discover she has options.  Eric explains how ADHD medication is a very efficacious medication, which does sometimes require trial and error.    Jaclyn asks for advice or resources for ADHD parents of ADHD toddlers, especially regarding discipline.  Brendan reframes “discipline”, which feels like having to let the kid “know” they're in trouble. He likes to think more about boundaries, especially with toddlers. If they cross the boundary, they can be redirected and reign them in, instead of yelling at them. Gentle boundaries > Yelling. Brendan explains having a relationship with and being on the same team as our kids to reduce conflict, even in their teenage years. Moira explains how her and a friend wish, for their past selves, that there was more education about ADHD, being able to talk about people who had been there before as parents with ADHD and toddlers with ADHD. Moira also emphasizes taking care of ourselves, supporting ourselves, finding community, and doing everything we can to be a good parent.  Will has a 6-year-old who is diagnosed. As a parent, it calms him down to assume that they are trying their best and don't know any better.  Eric quotes an adage: “[Your kid is] ...not giving you a hard time, they're having a hard time.” Eric explains how ADHD is a developmental delay, and encourages taking the oxygen mask as much as we need to, especially if - as a parent - we also have ADHD. It's okay for the adult in the family to take a time-out, too. Brendan and Roxie wrap up the final thoughts about parenting with ADHD.   [01:06:08] Will closes the show with a groan-worthy dad-joke.  Check out the Other Podcasts on the ADHD reWired Podcast Network: with Brendan Mehan with Will Curb with MJ Siemens with Moira Maybin coming soon - Wait, What Was the Question? with Will Curb and Coach Roxie Martin.

Most of the time, you hear the name Eric Reno on my podcast. In almost every episode, I mention his name, and I feel like you're asking, "Hey, who is Eric Reno??" Well, I mean he is quite popular too, you know. He's got a YouTube channel and popular on Instagram too. But, for those who are not familiar with him yet. Here's the chance to know him better and know why I mention him most of the time: a great entrepreneur, friend, mentor, father to his kids, and husband to his wife.     "As you grow older, I think it becomes more important. You see the kids grow, and it doesn't take long till they're adults. So I want to capture that moment, every moment I can with them." - Eric Reno     Topic Covered: 00:27 - Introduction to Eric Reno, the founder of Paramount Building Inc. and the Roof Illusion. 1:12 - Eric is just like everybody else. He started small and climbed his way up. But, even though he is successful now, he is still very down-to-earth and a nice guy. 3:40 - Marketing is the best way to promote your business, and this guy did his own way of marketing his business. He tells how... 7:21 - For Eric, family is so important. He noticed that when he sees his children slowly growing up, he realizes that they're growing, but he is not around. He makes sure that he gives attention to his family aside from managing his businesses. Listen to how he does it. 8:55 - Here's an interesting one. He started a roofing business first. But now, he keeps putting his money into real estate. That's what he will share... 11:16 - Yes, his family comes first. You gotta be asking, how does he manage multiple businesses then spends time with his family? He says delegation is vital in his company. 14:40 - As your business grows. It would be best if you planned for the future. You might think that hiring a lawyer, financial planner, and accountants is a waste of money. You thought you don't need them, but listen to Eric why he thinks these people are important. 22:02 - I went live broadcast on Instagram the day I interviewed Eric, and I let people ask him a couple of questions about running his business, tips, and ideas, or what have you. Listen to this part. Maybe an unanswered question to yourself could be one of those.   Key Takeaways: "Do you have life insurance? Does your life insurance doesn't cover enough to where if something happens to you, like your family's not going to have to sell their house and move into an apartment? When they first brought this stuff to me one by one, man, yeah, they're right. What kind of legacy would I leave? If I did all this great stuff, I died. And then, it's like they're poor as hell, or they get my life insurance check, but it's not enough to survive. And then, they have to sell the house then. They have to figure it all out. Like, I better plan this out for them." - Eric Reno   "So you're gonna want to delegate the rest of those jobs out. So there's something that's fallen through the cracks, or there's too many repairs or loose ends. And you need to find somebody to take care of that. Or, if you're out on the weekend picking up your guy's slack, someone got to be accountable for that." - Eric Reno.   Connect With Eric Facebook Website LinkedIn Instagram YouTube Connect with Keith Facebook Instagram  YouTube LinkedIn Website   Other Helpful links!

Internet marketing is the science of efficiently reaching audiences online, an essential skill set not just for SaaS companies but personal brand builders too. Today we are joined by internet marketing guru, podcast host, and recent author of Leveling Up, Eric Siu, to talk about his audience-building strategies and gamified approach to life and business. We hear about the dual method of influencer marketing and paid ads Eric is using to promote his book. He talks about why he has chosen to write a book about the game of life rather than his extensive marketing knowledge. For Eric, writing about his relationship with gaming is his way of appealing to an already extensive community. He explains how the notion of community fits into Naval Ravikant's four forms of leverage and is one of the most powerful forces a brand builder can utilize. Tune in for countless golden nuggets and marketing secrets from Eric today! 

Join Eric Schleien in this Q&A format as he answers questions on short positions, investment strategies, destroying your own conclusions on business and investments, and so much more. When asked about the mistakes he's made with investments and what can be learned from them, Eric expounds on what he thinks is a rear-view mirror thinking and on how he managed to lose more money to areas of omission than commission.  Summary While it's common for others to work on becoming large firms, Eric's unique gameplay is to stay boutique and manageable. For Eric, it's not necessarily rejecting growth. Instead, it's more about being able to hold control and balance on different elements. When you're running multiple large funds, it will reach a point where you start losing the competitive advantage by becoming too large, he explains. In this episode, the group also brings up the relevance of Environmental and Social Trends in determining the long-term value of companies. Quoting from Brookfield Asset Management CEO Bruce Flatt, "It's not a good business to not be a good steward of the environment.", for Eric, if a business is taking steps to have an adaptable and inclusive culture – value is quickly elevated. Even though it's not the end-all-be-all, for Eric, when a business does good in proving its CSR, it helps contribute to building a competitive advantage and value in the long run.

Eric Feigl jumps on the podcast with CJ Gotcher to discuss his evolution as a coach. Unlike many of the other coaches, Eric has been a long-time coach and personal trainer and even has his own podcast, the Fitness Candor podcast. His story is more one of adapting and evolving and improving his own coaching practice and business. Learn more here: https://ericfeigl.com  Eric loves the IMPACT coaching makes on someone’s everyday life. Ultimately every job HELPS people somehow, even accounting. Coaching however can really alter the quality of someone’s life and how each moment feels, reducing pain, and increasing abilities. He was attracted to coaching because of this.  One of the things CJ & Eric discuss is how in learning deeply about something you ultimately have to believe in that thing. For Eric, is what Arthur Jones intensity training. For CJ, it was CrossFit. Though neither believes deeply in these, they’ve learned the benefits and downsides despite beginning as devotees of these respective training methods.  While Eric pursued a degree, he feels that most of what he learned does not help him be a better coach. You ultimately have to pursue those things that give you the tools to improve your coaching, and the Barbell Academy definitely provides many of those tools.  When Eric found simple, hard, effective barbell training, he already had to have clients. This occurred during the lockdown, so when clients returned he had changed his training philosophy quite a bit. He introduced barbells. Some people were all in, some needed a more compromised solution, but ultimately using barbells was better than what they had been doing. Some clients needed to leave and go elsewhere, but Eric believed more in his new approach and it did not hurt his business.  GET STARTED with one-on-one online coaching FOR FREE!

Market cycles across the residential and commercial real estate spaces typically coincide. The level of investor aggression is at all-time highs in search for both residential and commercial assets putting upward pressure on valuations which in turn equates to a reduction in yields. For commercial investors, considering the return on effort and return on investment could lead one to consider alternative investment strategies.Our guest on today’s episode is Eric Martel, a real estate investor, entrepreneur, author, and Founder of MartelTurnkey, a real estate investment company. Eric purchased his first apartment building at the age of 18, while he was in college studying to be an actuary.

Now having navigated through multiple real estate cycles, Eric believes in assessing ROI across various asset types, being able to pivot depending on the market demands, and remaining flexible in your strategies.

Eric Siu likes to say he was never successful athletically. And while he might have struggled between the lines, there was one arena in which he thrived: the digital one. Eric always found comfort when it came to video games, where for years,  he dominated as a successful esports player. For Eric, success in gaming was rooted in the mindset that failure was his and his alone, but that regardless of the struggle, the next level was always within reach..That mantra is something he still follows today.“I think marketers have to understand that there are levels to everything, and there are levels of your career, there are levels to when you're working out, and there are levels of games. If you can reframe life into a game, if you can reframe business into a game, it just becomes a lot easier and a lot more fun.”Eric is an investor, founder and advisor to companies. He is also the Chairman of the digital marketing agency, Single Grain. On this episode of Marketing Trends, Eric dives into what it means to have a leveling-up mindset and some of the steps that marketers can take to move up in their careers.  Plus, Eric details the two key areas marketers should be honing in on when it comes to optimizing their website.Main Takeaways:Built for Speed: When you’re trying to optimize your website for search, you have to be thinking about the things that matter most, which are content and links. Part of having good content is having a great user experience, and that means having a fast website. Always be thinking about how you can make your website faster and easier to consume. The Right Mix: It’s important when you are sourcing talent to find the right mix of employees who can excel in multiple areas. It might sound simple, but it’s not. Most marketers are not great product people and the same can be said for product personnel. Look for people who can manage both sides of the coin.The Long Game: At the end of the day, you have to always be thinking about long-term success and not what is happening in the short-term. Constantly be thinking about where you can get the most untapped potential and then leverage that into something that will benefit you in the long-term.---Marketing Trends podcast is brought to you by Salesforce.

In this emotional edition of Christopher and Eric's True Crime TV Club, your hosts serve up the first true crime stories that disturbed them when they were young. For Eric, it's the murder of Kitty Genovese, a notorious tale of alleged urban apathy that smeared an entire city. But is anything you've heard about it actually true? Eric was stunned by the revelations within A CRIME TO REMEMBER, Season 2, Episode 1, entitled "38 Witnesses". For Christopher, it's the disappearance of 10-year-old Kevin Collins from a San Francisco street corner in 1984, as documented in PEOPLE MAGAZINE INVESTIGATES, Season 4, Episode 3. It's a tragically unsolved case, but years later, the person responsible may be within sight. (This episode was recorded remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, which might explain slight variations in sound quality.)

How long did it take you to find your calling from God? For Eric, it took 15 long years. But he arrived. and now, he is living his purpose, as a 21st Century Virtual Visionary. Come along on his journey, from actor to seminary student, to family man, to call center, to podcaster, to speaker, to visionary and so much more. You will hear the journey of a man seeking to find rest and peace before a God, who was with him in his darkest hour, and the love of his life, there with him all along the way.

Today, Eric and Matt cover a topic that often receives criticism for the behavior it has on individuals, simping. To people like Matt, being a simp is as if you are subhuman, because to him the behavior is incredibly beta. For Eric, his experiences in the BDSM community have allowed him to understand simping much differently to the point where it may be considered more of a kink.

Eric Balance is an entrepreneur, coach, and motivator. At the beginning of the episode, Eric talks about his 3-year remote journey that he always dreamed of. He tells us that his journey is a byproduct of chasing fulfillment over achievement. The lesson he teaches us is that life happens for us, not to us.   For Eric, he treats his life abundance as a tool that he describes as “Business Nirvana.” Towards the mid-point, he shares the early struggles with limiting beliefs and his battle with drug addiction. Through his family and support system, Eric went to rehab and turned his life around. From that point on, he knew he had the perseverance to not only survive but thrive.   Listen as Eric shares with us his opinion on living a life of significance by serving those around him.

Eric Hopkins plays the dual role of percussionist and associate principal timpanist in the symphony. His passion lies in both roles equally. For Eric, percussion is about negotiating the wide array of acoustic possibility, overcoming and embracing the challenges of each unique instrument. On timpani, the large copper kettle drums, Eric strives to maximize the sound color palette to vivify the emotional content of the music. https://utahsymphony.org/bio/eric-hopkins/

Eric is a serial entrepreneur that has founded and exited businesses in the automotive, retail, insurance, and tax industries. With 10 years in the tax world and 5 in the financial planning world, he is passionate about financial education and helping entrepreneurs scale to create a greater impact on the world. Eric is also passionate about fostering communities and connecting people. He enjoys building community in masterminds and his own monthly dinners.  Outside of a professional context, he is a single father to a sassy teenager and enjoys camping, riding bikes, and exploring the outdoors with his son. Thrive Community MVP, 2019 Thrive Connect Counselor, 2018 BDB Relationship Award, 2018 One great lesson he learned during the time that his business went down was: “You have the option of taking the failures as something as personal and ends up as something that affects you for the rest of your life and subconsciously affects your decision making or take them as a learning lesson and move forward.” For Eric, you can be good about a certain thing that can pay bills, but then there is a certain calling that comes where you realize that you want to do something else.  One of his regrets as a young person was to have fun and own good things, but as he got older he realized that he wanted to do something different and completely out of his comfort zone. Something that he wasn't good at, unlike his first business. Failing many times gave him hope to just keep moving forward.  Growing up, he was afraid of success and failure that was rooted in childhood. But growing up, he learned to work over that fear and continue moving forward. The real question is about how we acknowledge and work on the circumstances.  He believes that to be something great, you have to be around people who act the same and want the same. This will also affect your desire to continue. Investing in yourself helps you to propel yourself to keep moving forward.  During his transitions, he always asked himself, would it hurt if he tried it, and if he failed, what's the worst that can happen? At the end of the day, there are a lot of decisions that need to be made. There are no steps on how to look for the best solution, you just have to trust yourself and believe what you are called for, and work on it. When we align ourselves with our inner self and process things, we begin to be more sensitive with ourselves and have better decisions.   Key Notes:  You are influenced by the people who are constantly around you. Connections are important. Have someone listen to you and listen to other people too.  Processing your inner self makes decision making easier.  Connect:  IG: @thecashflowdoctor  Thecashflowdoctor.com Research about Regrets of the Dying

Cinematographer Eric Branco discovered early on that he enjoyed translating people's stories into visuals. Eric started out as an actor in high school, but quickly realized no one had any interest in holding the camera except himself. While in film school, he developed an eye and shot several student projects, then found work on film sets in New York as a grip and gaffer while shooting short films on the side. Eric's latest film, The 40-Year-Old Version was shot almost entirely on black and white film stock. Director Radha Blank was very firm that the movie be black and white- in fact, when Eric received the script, it read “A New York tale in black and white.” So Eric came with a suitcase full of black and white photo books of New York when he and Radha met, which helped them arrive at The 40-Year-Old Version's look: a matte texture with a prominent grain. Eric ran several tests to find the perfect film stock for the movie, and shot it handheld with vintage lenses. The movie is a funny, semi-autobiographical story starring Blank as a struggling, almost-40 playwright who is determined not to sell out or compromise her artistic principles and reinvigorates her creativity by becoming a hip-hop artist. The 40-Year-Old Version won the U.S Dramatic Competition Directing Award for Blank at the Sundance Film Festival in 2020. For Eric, it was the third film he'd shot to go to Sundance in as many years. He felt honored to be the cinematographer of Clemency, which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2019. Written and directed by Chinonye Chukwu, Clemency took a long time to get off the ground before Alfre Woodard was cast in the lead role. You can watch The 40-Year-Old Version streaming on Netflix.

Inspired by the first episode of HBO's documentary series I'LL BE GONE IN THE DARK, Christopher and Eric channel their inner Michelle McNamara, the citizen detective who helped crack The Golden State Killer case, and take to the internet to discover all they can about two real life mysteries that have obsessed them for years. For Eric, it's a mysterious Santa Barbara kidnapping with strange sexual overtones in which the wealthy and handsome young victim might have been in on the scheme. For Christopher, it's the gruesome unsolved homicide of a popular gay porn performer William Newton (aka Billy London), whose severed body parts were found in a Hollywood dumpster. Your intrepid studio detectives work to bring fresh attention to the case with new tips and leads -- maybe even from you -- as the 30th anniversary of Newton's murder approaches. Visit The Dinner Party Show's Facebook page for more info. We don't want this tragic and gruesome crime to be forgotten. (If this episode sounds different from our others, that's because it was recorded remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope to be back in our usual studio space as soon as public health advisories allow.)

My friends Eric & Amy Bird are good people to just talk music with. In my spiritual director training I was introduced to the idea of Holy Listening which is essentially sitting with the same subject (like art or music) for a long period of time and just continuing to look and look again to understand the nuance. I want to begin this conversation and hope to return to it with other guests in the future; How has reconstruction changed the way you listen to music. For Eric, Amy and myself we find ourselves living somewhere in nostalgia, authenticity and a connection to stories. Along the way we will learn that the Reconstruction Calls podcast is trying to set a record for getting Enneagram 5's to talk and we play a game called Nickelback, Creed or Hootie & The Blowfish. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/reconstructioncalls/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reconstructioncalls/support

Gone are the days when we have to be face-to-face with our gym coaches to stay on track with our fitness journey. How do we start developing and utilising the online space in the health and fitness coaching niche? As coaches, how can you make an impact online?  Today, Eric Balance joins us to share his journey and the things that helped him transition into online health and fitness coaching. He also talks about what it's like to be Tony Robbins's Platinum Partner. About Our Guest Eric Balance is an entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Lifestyle Development Inc. He and his team help business owners amplify their audience to monetise their passion. His team helps entrepreneurs turn their offline and online profiles from invisible to invincible. Eric's mission is to help people magnify their passion and purpose and share it with the world while being profitable. This chat with Eric is very insightful; don't forget to check out the highlights below and tune in to the show! Taking Action: Bringing Health and Fitness Coaching Online Online Health and Fitness Coaching Journey Eric helps coaches leverage more of their time, scale, and have more opportunity to utilise their expertise. He didn't find fulfilment in his 9 to 5 jobs. Through online health and fitness coaching, he was able to genuinely connect with the ideology of showing up for himself and other people. He's able to create an impact and make himself an expert in this niche.  Providing knowledge in health and fitness and amplifying it to the public can help people get results. This feat is possible wherever they are in the world.  After three months of hustling, he was able to step away from his oil field job completely. Eric then went full-time as an online coach. Personal Development An amazing mentor can help you step up and get out of your own way. For Eric, he couldn't understand how he could scale. He didn't know how to lead people. The meaning of living is giving. Meeting Tony Robbins and resonating with him led him to a self-discovery journey to become a better person and leader. Eventually, he became part of Tony Robbins's Platinum community of partners. Return on Investment The level of integrity of the people he works with now is greater than the money he spent. He has a community he can rely on. They will always be there to bring value and show their support. The takeaway: All of these will only happen if you take action. Going Online If you're considering going online, take action. Just hustle and do it. Ask for help from a person who has been through the steps. The online world moves at an accelerated rate. With the right guidance, you can get there in no time. Check out Eric's website. You may also reach him on Facebook and Instagram. Thank you so much for listening!

It's the end of an era for Love That Album. Welcome to episode 62 of Love That Album: The Compilation Edition – the final episode of the LTA offshoot. Back in 2012, Eric Peterson (aka Reanimator) discovered the main show and of his own volition, sent me audio feedback about the bands that meant a lot to him. I asked if he wanted to continue to send audio feedback as produced segments to continue in the body of the podcast about bands he loved – I am forever grateful he said yes. I've discovered some great music through his recommendations and he made the show better. When I started the See Hear Podcast in 2014 with Tim and Bernie, LTA had to be reduced to one episode a month due to my time restrictions. I asked Eric if he wanted to do his own LTA spinoff, so listeners would have some variety and two shows a month from the feed. These shows not only had Eric speaking about great music he loved, but how it shaped who he became and where it stood in his life. Thus LTA: The Compilation Edition was born. For Eric's final episode, he finishes up talking about the bands that really made him the music fan he is. Drivin n Cryin from Atlanta GA, with their mix of the Doors, The Ramones, the MC5 and Neil Young. Talking about their first 4 albums, he talks about the line between the mainstream the underground.  I'm going to miss his episodes, but Eric found real life concerns calling. His shows will remain on the feed for you to go back and explore, and maybe rediscover some terrific compilation albums or artists that may have been hidden from you. He will definitely pop up on the main show from time to time as well. Thank you so much, Eric for being such a huge part of the podcast. Send the show feedback at rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum. If you’d consider writing an iTunes review we’d be immensely grateful. However, it’d be even better if you told a friend about the podcast – at a barbecue, over coffee, while hitting a six, on social media….whatever way you choose, consider me grateful. Proudly part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.

We're excited to announce a new episode of the Muzzle Blasts Podcast this week. For this episode, we're talking to big-game hunter and Longhunter Society Record holder Eric Stanoshek about his record-breaking pronghorn trophy. In this episode, Eric recounts this record-breaking pronghorn hunt, but also his history with modern high power rifles and his eventual conversion to hunting exclusively with muzzleloaders. For Eric there is something special about the one-shot challenge of muzzleloader hunting, he calls it “The Romance of the Smoke”. This love of hunting and muzzleloaders runs in his family, three of his four kids and his wife hunt with muzzleloaders. Having hunted with muzzleloaders since the early 2000s, Eric has gone on 66 big game hunts and has 42 animals recorded in the Longhunter Society program. For him, hunting and using Muzzleloaders is about the relationship with the gun. Unlike modern firearms, muzzleloaders can be a little tricky, and that's what Eric likes. He says, “For me, hunting with a muzzleloader is about how close I can get and how much time do I get to spend with the animal.” Check out the photos of the buck Learn more about the Longhunter Society Subscribe to the Muzzle Blasts Podcast Follow the NMLRA on Facebook Follow Muzzleblasts on Instagram Follow the Longhunter Society on Instagram The NMLRA on Pinterest --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/muzzleblasts/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/muzzleblasts/support

The way you see the world may be different from how other people do. Sometimes, it takes stepping back to see things more clearly. This is what Eric Balley believes in. With a Master’s degree in Leadership and Organizational Development from Saint Louis University, Eric is the president of Bailey Strategic Innovation Group, a successful communication consulting firm in the USA. For Eric, it’s essential that we start asking people why they are so passionate about their argument more than trying to validate or invalidate their opinion, and try to understand why they care so much. He dives into the importance of having empathy and putting yourself in other people’s shoes and talks about how to deal with people with irrational behavior properly. Love the show?

On this episode of the podcast our guest today is Eric Herrera. Eric is one of my oldest friends at over ten years of running. Eric has spent time like a Tower Climber for cellphone towers and other hands-on jobs. I try to ask questions that are uniquely suited to the person I'm talking to. For Eric, the question that was asked was how to be yourself? I know that's a straightforward question, but we all are working in the context of our own situations, and Eric does not filter who is in any situation. Being yourself is as much a skill as anything else we can do.

In episode #650, Eric and Neil discuss how often you should be running experiments. Tune in to hear when, why, and how you should be running experiments. TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:27] Today's Topic: How Often Should You Run Experiments? [00:39] Eric thinks you should be running experiments every single week. [00:55] For Eric's site, they run experiments on the site itself and the business. [01:05] They use North Star to run these experiments and Eric loves the Leaderboard function. [01:45] The more experiments you run, the better off you are. [01:52] However, it's hard to run experiments when you don't have enough traffic. [02:04] Once you get enough conversion points (500 per month), you can run 1-2 experiments per month because you will be able to see micro and macro conversions. [02:28] A micro conversion could be someone going to your checkout page. [02:36] A macro conversion could be more sales in general. [03:00] If you're a small business, it's ok to track micro conversions only. [03:22] In the short run, if you can't optimize for conversions and sales, your experimentation should be around traffic generation. Use Similar Web, SEMRush, and AHREFS. [04:15] Managing Oneself is a short booklet that talks about the importance of feedback analysis. [05:14] There isn't one experiment that will make you a major success, but rather a lot of little things that add up. [05:36] Make sure to break down the experiments to focus on tiny aspects of your business. [06:28] Running experiments over time lets you see what your strengths and weaknesses are. [06:44] That's all for today! [06:46] Go to Singlegrain.com/Giveway for a special marketing tool giveaway!

What We Heard:  Eric’s journey in life was full of a few more downs than ups. Although an absent father certainly left a hole in his family, Eric was blessed with a mom who knew Jesus and pointed him to salvation. She wasn’t without her own struggles, yet she wanted to ensure that he had a faith foundation. Trusting God’s redeeming work on the cross as payment for sin became a reality for him at an early age, but the idea of following Jesus and claiming Christ’s Lordship came much later. Without the presence of a dad, God brought other men into his life to mentor, invest and develop him into the man and Christ-follower that he is today.   Feeling called in college to pursue seminary and local church ministry, Eric’s heart was moved in multiple directions, but men’s ministry remained a constant. There are things that men’s groups can do and say that simply aren’t a part of other ministerial settings. There are things that men want and need from both Bible study and ministry that are delivered best in the context of a men’s ministry group. Leveraging sports and other interests of men for ministry has played an important part of his career in the church. What It Means: Eric defines spiritual leadership as, “doing everything we can to love according to the Word of God, and being transformed by Christ, in such a way that it spills out of our life and influences those around us.” The daily challenges men face through battling our own doubts, fears and temptations at work, in the community, in the context of family, are ultimately spiritual battles which require spiritual leadership.    God can use men in any context He has them as “change-agents” for His glory in their families, companies, communities, and throughout the world. For Eric, ministry begins at home through pastoring and shepherding his own family. As an example, you can think of spiritual growth like the Dow: over the course of a week or a month, the fluctuations can be intense, but we gauge it over the long haul by asking if it is leaning up and to the right. That’s the goal. What We Do Next: Super practical: Got kids? Pray for a godly future spouse. That was an emotional high for Eric to share. God answered a 20-year prayer request in his life by providing a God-honoring daughter-in-law for his oldest son.    Beyond that, God’s greatest commands are to love Him and love people. Lean hard into what it means to love the people around you. If that’s a friendship hat, wear it out. Pray for the people around you and find ways to use whatever leadership you have in those relationships. Whether it’s through leadership or coaching, balance the relational and vocational side of those encounters while also find ways to lead people to Jesus.    In whatever you do, let people know Who to praise. Matthew 5:16 reads, "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” In all the good we do, let people know that it’s for, by and through God’s power. Let Him have all the credit.   2 Spiritual Leadership Takeaways: Be a man of the Word and a man of prayer. You can’t be a spiritual or godly leader without a connection to God. Grow up. Be tough. Speak up. Lead out. Don’t let fear hamstring your spiritual leadership. Part of spiritual leadership is showing up and stepping up. Don’t worry about being perfect, you never will be; just be ready and willing. MLN Resources: Kingdom Man: Every Man's Destiny, Every Woman's Dream by Tony Evans. In this book, men will be challenged to fully understand their position under God as well as their position over what God has given them. Equipped with these concepts, they can actively pursue ways to maximize and develop the character qualities of biblical manhood in their lives. Learn more.

We will be talking with Eric Trules and his podcast is e-Travels with E. Trules, and it’s unique in that it combines travelogue storytelling with an aurally immersive experience of sound, effects and music that take you right to the destination. We’ll talk about his podcasting journey, his publishing schedule with alternating formats, and the beauty of travel.   MetaMoment: Now, before we jump into the interview for today, let’s pause for a MetaMoment. This is where we review one or two podcasts about podcasting on this podcast about podcasting. Today’s podcast MetaMoment is…Podcast Talent Coach with Erik K. Johnson. His podcast focuses primarily on the content of your podcast and how to improve it. In episode 175 of Podcast Talent Coach, Erik shares his journey as a hockey coach and how it relates to determining the “why” behind your podcast. The concept of knowing and following your “why” is not new, but Erik’s story and explanation do a great job at exploring the topic. Check it out at PodcastTalentCoach.com. This MetaMoment has been brought to your by Libsyn. They are the media host I use and the number 1 place I recommend as I work with new podcasters. I’ve been recommending them for several years now.

Again, go to Libsyn.com and sign up using the code ‘JOSH.’ Eric’s podcasting journey Eric has been podcasting for a relatively short time. He releases a show every other week and there are 17 episodes now. It’s taken effort, work and collaboration because podcasting is all new to him. However, he has been an artist, storyteller and performer for almost 50 years. He started as a modern dancer and also spent many years as a professional clown. He’s just retired from his 31 years as a Theatre Professor at the University of Southern California. It was actually a student who suggested that he start a podcast, after hearing him speak. He was fairly confident with the storytelling side of things, however it was a steep and fast learning curve for the tech. Eric initially got a grant from USC, and found both his sound engineer, Alysha Bermudez, and music composer, Amanda Yamate, through the University. He found his producer, Harry Duran from Podcast Junkies, at the Los Angeles Podcast Festival. Harry taught Eric everything he needed, and with the help also of Amanda and Alysha, he has been insulated and prevented from making a lot of mistakes early in his podcasting journey. About Eric’s unique travelogue podcast E-travels with E.Trules is available on iTunes and Stitcher and is unique in that it combines travelogue storytelling with an aurally immersive experience of sound, effects and music that take you right to the destination. The episodes are stories of off-the-beaten-track, once-in-a-lifetime type trips, told with insights, humor, perspective and an artistic point of view. The listener of the story gets the treat of both the story and being taken there aurally because Eric chose not to go with royalty-free music but instead have a composer recreate sounds that are very site-specific and original. For example, for a story about Bali, the composer Amanda recreated Balinese gamelan music. However, because of the style of the podcast, the episodes are time consuming to make, so Eric planned to only release one episode per month. Extending the podcast without creating twice as many travel episodes Harry convinced Eric to release more regularly than the once-per-month schedule originally intended, and the idea of a behind-the-scenes episode was born. These are interview-style episodes that supplement the travelogue episodes. So every other week, the even-numbered episodes, there is a behind the scenes episode which alternates with the sound-immersive travelogue episodes which are the odd numbered episodes. Episode 0 is the welcome episode, which is the best one to start if you’re new because there are excerpts, examples of different places around the world and a nice introduction. Harry Duran, Amanda Yamante and Alysha Bermudez have all been interviewed as behind-the-scenes episodes of the podcast. But Eric also likes to feature people who are kindred, artistic spirits, either foreign born or who have traveled a lot. On occasion he has been solicited to be on the podcast by someone he doesn’t know, but he finds those conversations a little anti-septic. He prefers the episodes where the guest is someone he knows, because the medium of podcasting can capture the energy and chemistry of the relationship. Some examples of people Eric has interviewed are Liz Femi, a solo performer born in Nigeria, Debra Ehrhardt, a solo performer and storyteller from Jamaica, and Morlan Higgins, an actor and musician who is a fellow traveller on the path of life. His episode was also special because it is punctuated with Morlan’s own mandolin music. Storytelling that makes foreign people and cultures human Eric likes asking people he knows well about the complications in their countries. What’s interesting to him in human natures and in cultures is not what’s great about them, but the vulnerabilities or flaws that may be present under the skin. He likes to show the stories that are not things going perfectly well, a la Facebook profile. That’s what makes people and cultures human and relatable. Storytelling is all about vulnerability in a narrative sense: rooting for the underdog, or the main character that you care about. Audiences usually care about the character who is vulnerable because they can identify with them. Eric likes to share insights into experiences that listeners can relate to, as opposed to just a colorful travel story. The beauty of travel and life Eric is shocked and amazed and disheartened at how many people think it’s cool not to travel. While he does agree that there is plenty to see in the USA, many people use excuses that other types of travel is too expensive, scary, uncomfortable and that there is terrorism in the world. These things are all true, but the perspective you can gain from leaving your own four walls and country is astoundingly worth it for Eric. He wants people to realize that America is not the center of the world, that most people in other countries on the planet have lots in common with us. Travelling allows you to see how much they care about family and children and education and putting food on the table too. For Eric, we’re all connected by our humanity and it’s fascinating to see the differences, not in the human spirit but in cultural things: dancing, food, worship and the ways people move through life. It’s a shame that people think it’s ok not to travel, because if you can push yourself out of your comfort zone and let go of the unknown, that is the beauty of travel and of life!
