Women are saying they enjoy wearing masks because it has deterred creepy men from leering at them. For Sean, it seems to have had the opposite effect! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a great conversation with runner, writer and community builder, Sean Hamilton. Running is a journey. For Sean, his next step was a 6 month runcation to discover new places on foot, but it was cut short by the pandemic. Settling in Vancouver, he found the trails and the words to write his first book. He even landed a job with one of the fastest growing brands in running. And with the birth of a run group called "Dark Starts", Sean certainly seems to have found his new home.

Using Video To Improve Lead Generation There have been huge improvements in lead generation tools that salespeople can use with much more efficiency. In this episode, Sean Gordon will discuss the video technology he and his team created called vidREACH and how it can be used to improve contact with prospects. Ideas to improve lead generation With technology available today, people are seeing video as an effective tool to improve lead generation. Forbes projects that 80% - 85% of all content by 2022 will be sent through videos as people are turning to mobile-based apps. A 30 second video easily replaces 500-word content. Salespeople want a platform that allows them to stand out in their industry so they need a personalized approach to make a human connection, especially when the pandemic has made it difficult for people to gather. This human connection leads to more conversation, then appointments, and eventually, closing more deals. Regardless of the channel you use to connect with other people, whether it be through LinkedIn, email, traditional email, messenger - you need a workflow. Sean's system allows you to figure out that workflow as you send personalized messages. With Sean's plug and play approach, you can load your contacts with their first name, last name, and email and once that's done, you can then create a video or an email template that can be used again. Video to increase lead generation Anyone can just send a video at any stage but it's the format that matters. Remember that videos are more like wallpapers that are clickable, and they're hyperlinks that allow you to pick-up thumbnails you want to go into. Effective Video formats Everyone is different. There are some progressive companies. Some would use a breakup email and others go for personalized formats to give that raw and authentic feel to it. The standard best practices are some of the basics in video creation. This includes the proper lighting, the camera angle, the background, good audio, a good video quality, the use of a teleprompter script, and other equipment. For Sean, a 30-45 seconds video is enough. The key to improve lead generation using videos isn't the length but the message - the shorter the message, the more effective it becomes. Create your message in a way that personalizes it to the person you're targeting so think about their industry and their challenges. “Using Video To Improve Lead Generation” episode resources Connect with Sean via his LinkedIn account.

Sean Spicer’s experience in digital marketing spans 20 years — and he hasn’t looked back. On this episode of Tech Qualified, Justin Brown interviews Sean, who is the Director of Sales and Marketing at Agile IT, a company that provides cloud-first managed services. His company has been at the forefront of the digital revolution for years. But recently some things have changed. When the stay-at-home orders came in as COVID-19 started spreading in the US, the phones started ringing off the hook. Companies needed solutions for their sudden remote workforce — and they needed them fast. “We're in a really fortunate place that this is a solution we've offered, and now we're just developing it a little bit more and delivering it a little bit faster,” he says. For Sean, being able to provide essential services that allow people and their companies to work in safe conditions from their homes has also affected him personally, giving him renewed purpose: “Seeing those impacts and seeing how we're actually helping instead of just being another technology company really gives me chills.”
We are going to do things a little differently on today’s episode of the podcast. We usually have ex-pros, coaches, mental coaches, or program owners. Today we have two more Division 1 baseball players on the podcast. The reason we are doing it differently is that these guys have made such a huge impact on the kids in our facility right now. The kids are always asking if these players are going to be at the facility. For these younger kids, they know they want to be D1 ballplayers because they love the sport. These last two to three weeks they have actually been able to see what that dream looks like. They see what these D1 guys look like and how they train. Seeing their commitment has made the younger players want to train even more. Today we are interviewing brothers, Matt McLain and Sean McLain. Matt is a sophomore and plays baseball for UCLA and Sean plays baseball at Arizona State. Matt was drafted by Major League Baseball in the first round after high school and turned down a lot of money and went to school. Our youth throughout the country need to hear this. Show Notes: [02:47] Matt McLain is a sophomore. He plays shortstop at UCLA. [02:52] Sean McLain is 19 years old and plays baseball at Arizona State. [03:15] Sean shares his baseball journey and the importance of playing multiple sports. [04:50] Their parents encouraged them to play more than one sport very early on. Play all the sports, have fun, meet new friends, and see what you like. [06:04] They played Little League until they were 12 years old and then they moved on to travel ball through high school. [08:48] Having each other and competing with each other made them all better. [09:48] In 6th grade, Matt knew that he wanted to play sports for the rest of his life. He loved baseball and football. In 8th grade, baseball became his favorite sport. [10:48] Matt was drafted in the first round after his senior year, but really wanted to follow his dream of going to UCLA. [12:22] Matt had his dreams set early of going to UCLA and he made it happen. [13:41] Matt gives the credit for his success to his parents who taught them if they want something they have to work hard at it. [14:26] If you work hard and stay positive you will get something good out of whatever it is. [17:52] Freshman year in college can be tough. You have to fight really hard for a position on the field. [19:09] For Matt, college baseball was more mental. You can’t let what other people think about you catch up with you. [20:04] As a freshman, Sean got off to a great start but a week before opening day he broke a bone in his hand. [20:31] Get as many quality at-bats as you can. Look at the positive side of tough situations, because you are just going to get better. [21:37] For Sean it was really tough as his first time living alone, but he started setting reminders on his phone so he was always where he needed to be. [22:26] It was the first time that Sean had to step out of his comfort zone and talk to other guys since he didn’t have Matt around. He was lucky that some guys took him under their wing. [24:16] Time management is big because you are going to have school, laundry, practice, and many other responsibilities. Don’t procrastinate on your homework. [26:11] They would go to school and then have practice right after school. They would come home to eat dinner and after dinner, they would work out in their garage with each other. [27:03] At college they would eat breakfast, lift weights, shower, and then go to class. After class, they would go to practice. [27:53] It is really important to get ahead of your next day. Sean liked to plan out his next day in advance so he knew what he was doing and what free time he had. [28:55] School is always the main thing for each day. School is first and baseball is second. [29:44] It is not just about baseball. There are so many other things you have to focus on including school, family time, and religion. [30:46] You can’t put all your eggs in one basket. You have to be well rounded. [31:36] Grades are really important. They open up opportunities that otherwise would never happen. [32:28] Matt always tries to create a challenge for himself in the classroom and on the field. [32:50] At the end of the day it all comes down to if you are having fun. If you’re not having fun playing baseball then don’t play it. [34:40] These guys have made a huge impact on the kids at the facility. [35:11] If you can take care of the small details, baseball is going to take care of itself. [36:17] They did a few showcases, but Matt got recruited to UCLA through his high school team. If you are good enough, they will find you at your own high school or travel team. [37:02] If they are recruiting you, they know you are a good enough player. The difference is in the type of person and teammate you are and the type of grades you get. [38:40] No matter what happens just keep the same attitude and don’t slump your shoulders. [40:09] Matt is an energy giver to his team. Sean took it upon himself to be a leader on his team even as a freshman.

Today's episode features award-winning comedian, promoter & official C19 survivor, Sean Morley. He talks to us from the now-familiar confines of his bedroom about the impact of the virus on his own career, the comedy industry as a whole & how he's attempting to diversify via live-streaming in his (admittedly very smart) Paisley pyjamas.

Sean and Paul are joined by Godley and Creme aficionado Michael Ferreri for our journey into the duo's 1980s work. Paul's chiming in from a B&B in Liverpool, and their steam-powered wi-fi renders him a little bit 'Inanimate Objects'! We start with a bang, with the cracking, stand-alone single 'Wide Boy', and its wonderfully innovative video. We muse on how this wasn't a hit. The same simply isn't true of its follow-up, 'Submarine' - a curious instrumental that was re-released a year later as a b-side with lyrics. An odd single choice, to say the least. 'Ismism' saw Kevin and Lol enjoy their first commercial success since their split from 10cc in 1976. All three of us adore the haunting 'Under Your Thumb', but Paul's not enamoured of hit number 2 'Wedding Bells'. The third single, 'Snack Attack', has Mike's taste buds really kicking in. In fact, he'll later engage with this hilarious rap in a unique and special way! For Sean, this is one of several tracks on the album that demonstrate Kevin Godley's fantastic wordplay. 'Joey's Camel' and 'Lonnie' see the lyricist journeying into dark, strange but highly inventive territory. We have a lot to say about the duo's new sound, with their songwriting modus operandi now shaped by Lol's home studio experiments and new, more current electronic treatment. Other tracks we feel are simply filler - 'Ready for Ralph' and 'Sale of the Century' - don't find many fans here, but all three of us are fascinated by 'The Party'! 1-star, 2-owner, shagged-out chic? No - we find so much to talk about here. Not for everyone, this record, but we're glad it exists. It's strange, flawed and fascinating - very Godley and Creme! Look out in the next three episodes for our analyses of 'Birds of Prey', 'History Mix v1' and 'Goodbye Blue Sky'.
Today on Elixir Wizards we are delighted to be joined by Sean Lewis, a senior backend architect at Divvy. One of the many impressive facts about Sean is that he is entirely self-taught, from dabbling in Python and coding to eventually writing a bunch of Ruby tests and working his way up in the product development sphere.

Sean Hykey and I met through a Gary Vee Instagram post. He was relentless in positive responses to what seemed like hundreds of people commenting on Gary’s post. So I DM’d him. And we became friends. His content was undeniably vulnerable, inspirational, motivational and pure. Everything keto, fit, rapping, and positivity. How was he this comfortable with himself? Spending time with yourself borders confinement in prison. It removes all distraction where you are left with nothing but yourself. For Sean, it was just that. It took time in prison blocking out all the noise to understand his purpose in life. Growing up, selling drugs was cool. So was school. Selling ounces of weed per day with perfect attendance in high school provided the perfect contrast until years later it caught up. We talked about purpose, self-worth and being a worthy person, distractions, habits and the people we choose to surround ourself with, transformation, life during and after prison, Body by Jake, fitness, becoming a man, mindset, gift of connection, self-love, motivation, affirmations, the genuine life, and waking up knowing every day that you have to grind twice as hard now in order to get where you want to be due to your past. How fitting this was my first REMOTE podcast. I can’t think of anyone I’d rather spend time with. We are all nothing more than regular human beings with mistakes in our past. Becoming a better version of ourself every day, we can be worthy of more than a criminal. Leaving a lot on the table of what could be accomplished, this is by no means an excuse. While not all of us have lived in prison, many of us live in one mentally. If you decide to give up and do nothing then that part of you might as well stay in prison. In your comfort zone, you’re locked up. Returning is being institutionalized.

Like millions of other 80’s babies, Sean Pierson’s favourite arcade game was the legendary Street Fighter. Known on the block to whoop you with Blanka ‘just for kicks’, Guile was his go-to when things got serious. For Sean, fighting was more then a game, it was his passion. Competing nationally as a Greco-Roman wrestler, Sean eventually took up another fight. Fighting crime as a cop. But at the age of 34 and with everything on the line, Sean left the Toronto Police to pursue his true fight dream - to compete in the UFC. Now after 5 years of a stellar UFC career, winning his last 3 bouts, Sean has taken up another fight! - teaching businesses how to protect themselves in the dangerous digital world of IT.

Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday Sean Swarner came to Launchpad studios to meet with Jeff and Erik and speak about his journey beating the odds to become an incredible adventurer and inspiration to so many. With only one functioning lung, a prognosis of fourteen days to live, and being in a medically-induced coma for a year, Sean Swarner is the first cancer survivor to stand on top of Mt. Everest. Sean has broken through defined human limitation in order to redefine the way the world views success. Diagnosed with two deadly, different, and unrelated forms of cancer, once age thirteen and again at age sixteen. Sean astounded the medical community when he survived both. He realized that after defeating cancer twice, no challenge would ever be too great, no peak too high. He has since topped the “7-Summits”and skied both the South and the North Poles. He continues to test his own endurance and inspire and motivate people around the world with his message of hope. He founded the non-profit organization, The CancerClimber Association, and is now an author, speaker, and most recently the feature of the documentary: True North. The episode opens with Sean discussing his childhood. He talks about growing up in the Midwest with a rather typical upbringing, including engaging in sports like running cross country, soccer, and swimming. At age 13, a knee injury that led to complications the doctors ended up finding his first cancer-advanced stage IV Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He was given 3 months to live. His treatment began immediately and this overtook everything in his life. “Our entire lives as a family was on hold.” Coming to terms with his diagnosis was also a challenge. As his hair fell out and he gained weight from the treatments, Sean was suddenly thrust into living a life completely unlike his friends and peers. Constantly in the hospital he was alone and scared. But he had to take stock of his situation: “I could either fight or die.” At age 15, while in remission, a second cancer was discovered - totally unrelated to the first. This one was even more rare and the prognosis was a 6% chance of survival. “The odds are winning the lottery four times in a row with the same numbers.” At that point it would have been easy for Sean to lose hope but he attributes his fighting spirit and the fact that he survived to a number of factors, including: “It was a combination of modern medicine, family support, prayer, and an inner will to not give up...to go one day at a time to make those days become a habit, instead of focusing on the negative.” “I wasn’t focused on not dying, I was focused on living.” This time around, according to his doctors, Sean had two weeks to live. Treatments included more chemo and a medically induced coma. But once he came out the other side he realized he had learned so much about himself and what drives him. Erik asks if he still feels fear or trauma based on his experiences and Sean responds that at least once a year when he goes in for a yearly check up he feels those sensations but realizes that worrying about it ultimately does not do any good. He makes the decision to think positively. For example, from his time as a cancer patient, Sean still uses the power of positive affirmations. Always believing today will be the best day ever for the mere fact that you are still alive. After his teen years, and recovering from two cancers, Sean headed to college. He changed his course a few times which he discusses. Realizing he wanted to help others touched by cancer - to provide them hope, he decides to climb Mt. Everest. He knew that if someone who had overcome cancer reached the top of the highest peak in the world it would be a huge beacon of hope for so many people around the world who were struggling with their own illnesses. So, with one functioning lung, Sean started training. He was living at sea level in Florida but despite his location and the doubts of almost everyone he knew, he poured his heart and soul into his effort. Nine months later he was at Everest basecamp, ready to make his way up the mountain. Sean treated every step along the way as a new PR (Personal Record) and felt blessed with each passing day. Jeff and Erik discuss the various physical difficulties they personally encountered on Everest and how Sean had similar experiences, but his were only amplified by having just one lung. Despite it all, Sean reached the summit on a beautiful day, surpassing everyone’s expectations. Erik and Jeff want to know how Sean builds this positive mindset; how he was able to channel his focus. Sean discusses the significance of having folks who are struggling with cancer cheering him on from all around the world. Cancer patients can't just take a day off. For Sean, that was the ultimate push forward. When Sean returned he was hoping his message would catch on in the media but he realized he had to do even more. He ended up doing the “Grand Slam” of adventures and then started visiting hospitals around the globe to meet patients with cancer. He formed relationships and kept in contact with so many folks to pass along his message of hope. Jeff continues to probe into Sean’s psyche. How does he live the way he does? How doesn’t he let his circumstances get him down? Sean talks about making “micro-changes” in his life and also always having gratitude. After all, it was his conditions that led to the trajectory of his career and have enabled him to help so many others. “So many people are fixated on what’s comfortable. Life begins outside your comfort zone but fear holds them back.” Sean put together a program that includes micro-changes that was created for cancer patients but is applicable to anyone. The changes help you tap into what is your value system and to stay true to that vision. The link is at the bottom of this show description. Sean now speaks to groups to spread his message of hope, has authored a book, is starring in a documentary, has created his 7 day (free!) program for cancer patients, and most importantly co-founded his non-profit: The Cancer Climber Association. Sean continues to advocate for others. Please check out his latest cause as part of The Cancer Climber Association in the links below.

Today's guest, Sean, is a friend. We recorded this conversation before the podcast launched in November 2017. It took a while to get through the editing process, but I wanted to post it to document the evolution of the podcast and me.For Sean, it shows him as a leader of leaders, since all the guests since followed him. In showing that I grew as an interviewer, finding a purpose, strategy, and voice, I hope it shows the accessibility for anyone to take an environmental leadership role.This conversation helped the podcast's strategy emerge. It's largely based on learning that community influences behavior more than facts.So I'm bringing world-renowned guests -- people in everyone's communities. If Oprah shares her environmental values, acts on them, and shares that the results bring her joy and liberation, I think many others will -- not blindly following her as a celebrity but acting on their values as she acts on hers.This conversation enabled what came next.

Today on the podcast, Sean speaks with Hannah Bush, a pastor at a church in Texas and a writer for Deeply Rooted Curriculum, regarding the idea of renewing your passion for preteen ministry. By stepping out of the leadership role and stepping down into the trenches and being on the level with the students. For Sean that meant giving up all his leadership roles at camp this summer and passing those off to other leadership and becoming a cabin leader. It was an amazing week of ministry, allowing him to walk away with a renewed mindset of why he is doing what he is doing in ministry. Hannah had a similar renewing experience this summer. Hannah also runs the 1st -3rd grade at the church and this pulls her away from the preteens. This summer she decided she wanted to step back into the preteen side of the ministry. She normally delegates out the one on one time and teaching roles to others because it works. She decided she wanted to “dig back down to roots” of preteen ministry and take 3-weeks and teach both services this summer. It had its challenges on the logistics side, but it has been a refreshing start going into the fall. It rejuvenates your passion for why you do what you do.

Joined by synesthete, Sean Day Ph.D. Synesthesia is a sensorial phenomenon whereby exposure to certain stimuli results in other senses being triggered. For Sean, the sound of piano music evokes the visual experience of seeing a blue cloud floating, and tenor saxophones "look like" purple neon lights. Sean describes some of the most interesting cases he's seen during his years of research. Dr. Drew and Dr. Bruce discuss the mechanisms by which the brain produces these sensorial perceptions.

Sean Donahue is a traditional herbalist and poet. He has also worked as a freelance journalist, a political organizer, and a nonviolence trainer. He is proud to be a regular contributor to Plant Healer Magazine. While he has been blessed to receive amazing support and guidance from other herbalists, Sean’s primary teachers have been the wild and feral plants growing in the forests, fields, and swamps around him. He has trusted his own health completely to the plants since they first began helping him begin to heal the asthma he struggled with since childhood. As a practitioner he looks to plants as allies in helping people remember their own beauty, strength and power and in guiding them to health. As a teacher, he encourages students to build their own deep, personal relationship with the plants around them grounded in the experience of their own senses and their own hearts. He identifies deeply with the traditions of the edge dwellers – those who live in the places where the human and wild meet, bridging the worlds. For Sean, magic, medicine, and poetry are all expressions of a deep connection to the living Earth, and personal, cultural, and ecological healing are inextricably linked. He is currently working on his first book, a guide to plants for the underworld journey. In this episode of HerbMentor Radio, Sean discusses herbs, magic and goes deep into two herbs… hawthorne and ghost pipe. Visit Sean at http://MedicineAndMagic.com
