[SEGMENT 1-1] Setup for Kamala Harris 60 Minutes interview   The talk has been about Kamala Harris' 60 Minutes interview. I was traveling and didn't see it. I got soundbites loaded in my folder so I think it's worthy of discussion. Before I get to that I must admit that I'm fascinated with studying the propaganda techniques of the Left. I saw a 60 Minutes report by an “expert” who wrote something called, “Lost, not stolen” about the election of 2020. This “expert” is completely sold out, because only a FOOL would believe the 2020 election was legit. I'm going over the inconsistencies, as that would take a week of shows. But the facts is, this election as stolen. PERIOD Why people have a difficult time saying this is beyond me.  [SEGMENT 1-2] Elon Musk on religion of woke   [X] SB – Elon Musk on the religion of woke   Elon Musk has officially entered the Octagon in fighting Leftism, and I'm happy for it. But he said something very profound, about “wokeism”, so I'd like to begin there. It segues into my discussion about Harris' 60 Minutes interview.  [SEGMENT 1-3] Kamala Harris 60 Minutes 1 [X] SB – Black man flipped from Democrat to Republican [X] SB – Black women on flipping Chicago [X] SB – 60 Minutes asks Harris about legitimacy Was democracy best served by Biden stepping down. No primary, no fighting off other contenders Nervous    [SEGMENT 1-4] Kamala Harris 60 Minutes 2   [X] SB – 60 Minutes asks Kamala Harris about border surge Historic flood of illegals during your administration. Quadrupled Was it a mistake to loosen the policies? Long-standing problem. From Day One, offering solutions. YES. Solutions that haven't worked. Numbers quadrupled.

For decades, women and mothers have been hiding. We cover up our breasts as we feed our babies because since forever, our breasts have been sexualised. How dare you get those tarty things out to offer nourishment to that hungry, tired love of your life. Put them away.We hide the blood that drops between our legs because we've been told it's disgusting. And what's more repulsive, more unattractive, more intolerable, they tell us, is the mood swings that it brings. A woman on her period, they say, is crazy.And often, we hide the depths of our feelings as we navigate the throes of early motherhood, because we're meant to be grateful. We're meant to be giving. We're meant to be naturally good at it.That doesn't leave much room for comfort in motherhood, in fact it creates a feeling entirely opposite to warmth. And that is loneliness.And it was when Keshia Hutchens and Ariel Bryant were walking the streets of Melbourne with their third babies that they wondered - interrogated, even - why there wasn't a safe space for mothers to go. To think and feel and learn and question and laugh and cry. And so, they created From Day One; a space that is pulling mothers from outside of their own four walls and bringing them their village.From how the two co-founders have made work, work over the years, to the magic that they're witnessing between the mothers who are making up the village that is From Day One, this is a special conversation about loneliness and the antidote to it.--Shop the Ready or Not Go To Guides now, for $29 each or $69 for the trio and 10% off with code READY10:Breastfeeding and Returning to WorkChildcare 101Postpartum and Return to Work Planning---Thanks for listening to Witching Hour!

From Day One in the fire service, the lecture is the standard teaching method. Sometimes, it seems like fire departments must keep Microsoft in business, what with all the PowerPoint software they must be ordering.And you know the instruction -- notice I didn't say “learning” – keeps going like this until you retire. Want to be a Battalion Chief? There's a lecture and PowerPoint for that. An Engineer? Yep, got it covered. Captain? Of course.Now, I know the fire service doesn't like change. As Chief Brunacini said, "Firefighters hate two things—change and the way things are now.”But maybe it is time to teach differently. If you've ever lectured to a room full of Millennials or Gen Z, you know they don't get much out of it. They're on their phones.Here to explore some fresh ideas for teaching is Jennifer Stanislaw.She heads up the West Salem, Oregon, High School Emergency Services Program. She also has over 25 years of experience as a paramedic and volunteer firefighter.

In this week's episode, we're joined by Keshia (she/her) and Ariel (she/her). Keshia and Ariel are mothers and business women, and have recently founded @from__day__one - a drop-in space and community for new mothers in Naarm/Melbourne.  Keshia and Ariel share their breadth of experience and wisdom from their six collective postpartum experiences. Ariel shares insights from birthing overseas in America, and they both draw from the unique time that was giving birth during the pandemic.  Keshia and Ariel reflect on their lives and sense of self prior to becoming mothers, and how their early corporate careers and postpartum experiences influenced their desire to create a business and change the postpartum space for good. They touch on the values and aspirations behind From Day One, and the value of collective knowledge, continuity of care and sense of community for new mothers. We absolutely loved our chat with Ariel and Keshia, it was so validating and clear to see the passion and research that has gone into @from__day__one.  From Day One opened in early 2024, so be sure to check out their instagram or website for more info.  This podcast was recorded on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Wilam and Boon Wurrung/Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation.  Every month, I Pay The Rent and so can you - click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to learn more.

Joe Biden campaigned for president in 2020 as a practical politician with a moderate record. He promised to unite America under a Biden presidency. He even said, "There will be no blue states and red states with me." More than 18 months into the Biden administration, America is witnessing a radical departure from the candidate who made those promises in 2020. From Day One, the Biden administration pursued policies that appealed to the far left and socialists rather than working-class Americans. As a result, Americans appear more divided than ever on key questions about our country's future and the policy decisions confronting us. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a bestselling author who is out with a new book, "Defeating Big Government Socialism: Saving America's Future," joins us on "The Daily Signal Podcast" today to tell us about his latest work and what's at stake.

At a time when society holds businesses to a rising level of accountability, From Day One explores how companies can build well-grounded values into their business—diversity, responsibility, transparency—and stick with them in an economy driven by disruption.Steve is a veteran journalist who has served as executive editor of Time and Fortune, editorial director of Time Inc. Books, founder of the local Brooklyn publication The Bridge, and co-writer of a movie about journalism, The Paper. While he has lived in New York City for most of his life and has adopted its customs, he's a native of the ultimate swing state, Wisconsin, and a stockholder in the Green Bay Packers.SUE SAYS"Steve spent his entire career working in publishing, reporting, and editing in executive roles at Time, Fortune, and Newsweek. Having his very first boss be a woman, he realized early on the different types of energy women bring to the workplace. Now his goal is to help businesses and companies focus more on their relationships with the people they work with and their well-being to bring about better outcomes and profitability."Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/women-to-watch-r/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, there are so many global events taking place right now, not the least of which is Emmanuel Macron and the creation of an EU Army, that it's hard to know where to look. So today on the Prophecy News Podcast, we go around the world and pay a visit to all the geopolitical hotspots where action is taking place, and it's a lot more than you think it is. In the meantime, we should be thanking Vladimir Putin for singlehandedly stopping the COVID crisis, because since Russia invaded Ukraine, no one seems to care about it anymore. Funny how that works, eh? From Day One in office, pretend president Joe Biden has been on a mission to destroy America's capability to create our own energy, and he has been astonishingly successful on that front. Join us today as we connect the dots on our New World Order scorecard, and show you how close we are to the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. There is a whole lot of stuff happening right now surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine, so much so that you could rightly call it a global realignment. Turkey is using the Ukraine invasion as an excuse to assert sovereignty over the Greek islands in east Aegean. China is using this time to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan, a possibility real enough that the United States Navy is preparing for that confrontation right now. And what is Joe Biden doing? He is waging war against Americans by driving gas prices up to astronomical levels. Welcome to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, how are you liking it so far?

Désirable's products are the culmination of almost three years of research and development. It all began in 2011, during a university project on the ethics of designer in the industry of erotic toys. The conclusions were shocking: the current sex toys industry ignores the concepts of ethics, responsibility and hygiene. Thus, there are some sex toys that are manufactured with materials prohibited for use in children's toys. This is how we started the Design & Intimacy project, which aimed to provide an alternative that is more ethical, responsible and in harmony with the erotic and intimate realities of couples. We believe that handmade products are like a good home-cooked meal: you can feel the love in every bite. From Day One, we decided that every single piece of the product (either the packaging, the storage bag or even the silk covered platform) would be handmade by people near us, in the beautiful province of Québec, Canada. We designed and carefully selected every tiny detail in order to make sure that you could feel our dedication in every step of the way.

Journal. Journal. Journal. From DAY ONE! I didn't start detailed with a notebook until transplant and I wish I would have started from the beginning. Yes, there is “My Chart” and other things doctors use, but that's full of test results and medication names. It doesn't include information from your perspective – how the patient is doing…how they felt on certain meds….how high was their fever on certain days, etc. Every time we went to an appointment, the journal went with me. Everything was dated and every conversation with every nurse and doctor documented. Believe it or not, all the dates, names, diagnosis, etc all start to run together. It's overwhelming!!!

Episode 21:36 Two Questions: “Was The Coronavirus Engineered In A Lab?” - - “Are Hospitals Properly Treating COVID?” From Day One, there have been a lot of people questioning whether this Coronavirus was something that had developed naturally… or was somehow engineered in a lab? Unfortunately, there was no way to know. Until now. Information has surfaced in recent months that make it pretty clear that this Coronavirus was altered and engineered in a lab in Wuhan, China. Specifically, there was something called “Gain-Of-Function” research being done that may have made this Coronavirus more lethal and contagious than it should have been. To make matters worse, this “research” appears to be funded by OUR taxpayers money. So, why haven't we been told about this? Great question! One we address - along with all you need to know about Gain-Of-Function research - on this episode. We also address another pressing question: “Are Hospitals Properly Treating COVID?” The short answer is “NO.” At least not in our eyes. It seems that treatment protocols that do NOT work well are being promoted while proven treatments are being ignored… and censured. Why??? We take a long, hard look at how poorly the medical profession has done during this pandemic… and why. Give this episode a good listen as it is both timely and important.

Kara Goldin is the Founder and CEO of Hint Water, author, podcaster, wife and mom of 4. She refers to herself as an accidental entrepreneur because after having a career at Time Inc, CNN, and AOL, Kara found herself focusing on her health as a mom and that’s when Hint Water was created. Kara hosts the podcast “The Kara Goldin Show” (previously Unstoppable), where she converses with Founders, Disruptors, and other notable people she refers to as Unstoppable Guests.  Today, Kara’s book Undaunted: Overcoming Doubt and Doubters,launches and I was fortunate enough to read it prior to our conversation. In her book, she takes us along the journey of how she got to today while daring to be undaunted. It’s definitely a must-read and unlike any kind of entrepreneurial book I’ve read! Grab a bottle of Hint and join us as Kara shares a hint of her history. You will love how relatable her story is and her friendly conversational style as she shares her journey with us. Let's discover how Kara followed her passion and purpose to become an entrepreneur!  What we're talking about Kara’s Journey From Corporate To Entrepreneur The Launch Of Hint Water Kara’s Entrepreneurial Journey  Kara’s Journey From Corporate To Entrepreneur Before her entrepreneurial journey started, Kara worked in media for TIME and CNN. She mentions that she was inspired by Steve Jobs’ ideas of making shopping easier for people. She decided to pick up the phone and call the CEO of 2Market, the e-commerce CD-ROM company that was behind the beginning of online shopping for AOL because she wanted to learn more. Kara ended up ultimately working at AOL  running their e-commerce and shopping partnerships. Luckily for us, Kara played a significant role in pioneering the online shopping movement. Kara refers to herself as an accidental entrepreneur. She bundled all of her career experiences with her health issues, weight gain, developing adult acne, and raising young kids to create a business that ultimately is her purpose and passion...a water that is changing the lives and health of others. The Launch Of Hint Water After leaving AOL, Kara was feeling the desire to focus on getting healthy.  She had been reading the labels of the food she consumed, but she hadn’t paid attention to the beverage labels.  Drinking numerous cans of diet soda every day, Kara was shocked to see that “diet” didn’t mean healthy. She started drinking water but became bored with the flavor, so she started adding fruit to it.  After seeing the changes in her body and having friends gush over how delicious her fruit water was, she started looking for this type of product in stores, but couldn’t find it anywhere.  Kara decided it was time to bring her flavored water to the world. During her 4th pregnancy, she spent the time developing and learning in order to get the company off the ground. On the day that Kara gave birth to her fourth child, she stopped at Whole Foods on the way and landed Hint Water on the shelves! From Day One, they were getting emails from satisfied customers praising the product and how it changed their lives. This feedback was incredibly powerful and continues as they have evolved and  created new products like deodorant and sunscreen. Kara’s Entrepreneurial Journey Growing up, Kara was exposed to several entrepreneurial influences in her life. Her dad created Healthy Choice dinners while employed at Armco Foods (now ConAgra). When Kara’s mom decided to follow her love of fashion and retail, Kara’s dad became responsible for feeding her and her siblings dinner. He quickly realized that the TV dinners from the frozen section were pretty bland and he knew he had to create something healthy, tasty and that his company could do it. Kara’s dad worked with famed chef, Julia Child to create Healthy Choices! Kara's older brother was constantly looking for ways to make money to pay for school while earning his law degree and would fix cars and paint houses. She describes her childhood self as being curious and that trait is still apparent today. Kara believed that she should be learning from all different people along the way and to not rely on just one person to give you information. Through building her business, Kara has managed to learn a ton about water. She is on a mission to improve drinking water standards nationwide. She is currently working with Congresswoman Jackie Speier from California to get a Bill in front of Congress to clean up our water supply.  This Bill will put pressure on every State and the EPA to classify PFAS as a dangerous substance. Doing so will force the States to measure the levels in the water. Kara mentions that as a child athlete, she picked up a lot of life lessons. She has been able to apply those skills in tackling significant challenging issues that she’s encountered on her journey. Kara shows us that you can change your future by doing whatever you put your mind to. You have the power to follow whatever brings you purpose or are passionate about in your life.

Look, it doesn't really matter if you are pro or anti lockdown to me. What matters to me is that of which I was most afraid, is coming to pass. And no, it isn't the virus. From Day One of this that I had one question: When will the "emergency" be over? Today, after a lawsuit was filed asking exactly that question, the answer we got was not measured, calm, or even logical. It was, as I feared, hysterical, rambling, and based one hundred percent in fear and in the mongering of fear. And if you think that he is the exception to the rule, you're not paying attention to what has just happened to our nation.

From Gas-Station Gym to 5,000 Square-Foot-Facility With Jonathan WattJonathan Watt opened Townie: A Fitness Community in an abandoned gas-station garage. He painted the walls, made a post on Facebook and showed up at 5:30 a.m. the next day, praying someone would show up.Someone did, and the gym soon expanded to the 5,000-square-foot facility it's in today.

Tune in to today's episode of On the Spot where we sit down with Erin Sauter of From Day One, an events company and journalism platform forging relationships between employees, customers and communities. As we continue to live in a world of emails and blogs, events can be a great way to bring people together in a more authentic manner. Meetings and conferences today tend to be siloed and no one is having integrated conversations about business. Marketing departments often attend marketing conferences, HR teams attend HR workshops- but what would happen if all the stakeholders of a business got together to talk about issues such as diversity, inclusion and the future? From Day One is here to make that happen. Highlights "We feel that big organizations have the biggest opportunity to make a huge impact." [2:18] "The hustle mentality is almost glamourized today."

Highlights La Vesha on working as a women in STEM: 7:30 "The largest challenge for me is Imposter Syndrome. I think 'Maybe I shouldn't be here' or I'll wake up one day and everyone will say I don't know as much as I think I know, or I'm not worthy. Those feelings come and go in waves and I keep trying to prove my Imposter Syndrome wrong." Why she loves Code Corps and volunteering her skills for social good: 12:12 "I am using tech for good and that's increasingly hard to do today, to use tech for the benefit of the humans around us and not just for financial gain.

Boom, what's going on everyone?  It's Steve Larsen, and today I'm gonna talk to you guys about talent.   I've spent the last four years learning from the most brilliant marketers today. And now I've left my nine to five, to take the plunge and build my million dollar business.   The real question is, how will I do it without VC funding or debt - completely from scratch. This podcast is here to give you the answer.   Join me, and follow along as I learn, apply and share marketing strategies to grow my online business - using only today's best internet sales funnels.   My name is Steve Larsen, and welcome to Sales Funnel Radio.   What's up?   Hey, I'm excited for this episode - really excited about it!   When I go through, and I start thinking about different episodes, I write down a whole bunch of different ideas.  Then, funnily enough, a lot of them start combining. This one's gonna be 3 different episodes combined - I just wanna say real fast what it really is...   I was mowing the lawn a bit ago... and I some people have said like, "Don't ever mow your own lawn. You should never fold your own laundry. You should never..."   And I get what they're saying, but for me, that's the time when I am listening to a lot of podcasts. I'm listening to books. I'm listening to audio stuff - most the time...   Sometimes I just listen to music and chill out - it depends what's been going on.  But this particular time was only maybe six weeks ago? I mean it wasn't that long ago...   I was mowing the lawn, and I was thinking. I was thinking a lot about what this guy was saying... I don't remember what exactly I was listening to, but I remember the idea came in, which is the important part...   I stopped, and I was like. "Oh, my gosh, I am where I am because of sheer talent, not positioning." Isn't that interesting? I am where I am because of sheer talent not because of positioning.   I was like that's really fascinating!   It might sound like I'm showboating a little bit, but I'm good funnel builder, okay? I'm really good at building offers.   What I realized is that I've done fantastic jobs at positioning products, positioning a business - but not positioning me. And that's the thing I've been seeking the most this year since I left Clickfunnels. I've been trying to figure out the best place to position myself in the ecosystem that I'm in. And that's just as important as your talent itself.   I've been thinking about this like crazy - it's been the biggest question. I was at a Mastermind, and I asked a question like, “I'm trying to figure out what I do to serve the market?” And they misunderstood what I was saying.   I'm not trying to figure out "WHAT I do to serve the market?" - I know what that is - I've been trying to figure out the best place to position myself the market? The best place to go and sit inside of it.   Recently, it was actually was last week as I'm recording this, anyway (I batch my content, right I drink my own Kool-Aid)...   Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to go and do some consulting for Trey Lewellen - so super cool, guys! I got to go, and this was super nuts for me, you guys.   I was going out and listening to Trey Lewellen's stuff like way before ever working for Russell or being at ClickFunnels.   So to go full circle, and then be invited to go in and consult on webinars, like that was such an incredible honor.   We were at the Dream 100 Event, and Trey was... (it's gonna sound like I'm showboating, but this is me trying to position myself, okay?)   Trey was told that I'm "the best at webinars" - which was super nice. It was incredibly nice of him.   Anyway, he came straight to me. Right there in the room, he said, "Can I get you to come to my webinar?" I said, "Sure!" And I flew out there and went to his house.   The whole way there I was like. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh..." You know! I'm watching the current webinar like crazy - it was actually for his girlfriend Jennifer, she was awesome.   I was going in and watching this webinar, watching the webinar, watching the webinar.   When you spend that much time on a craft, it's really easy to see where a ball might be being dropped, and that was no different here. I immediately saw what the issue was, and it was cool to be able to go in and do my consulting thing.   When I do consulting for somebody... like I did it for an insurance company a little while ago it, was like 12 hours straight - some people need that, some people don't need as much as that...   Trey Lewellen's obviously a rockstar already - so there were just some finer points as far as a webinar gets delivered. It was really really cool to be able to go in and help him and help what they were doing. It was only six hours, but it's still a long time, right?   It's just me straight, and a whiteboard like teaching and pulling things out of him into certain frameworks that I know sell well. It was really interesting, and it was cool because afterwards, it was very honoring... If anyone's like "Stephen, you're showboating." Okay, whatever...   I wanna share with you guys the lessons I'm learning along the journey, that's part of this podcast. So I'm documenting the journey right now - so this is me documenting...   Trey and his girlfriend took me back to their house, and we grabbed pizza and hung out around this firepit in their backyard. Beautiful house! Holy crap nice house! I know you'd expect that obviously. But it was a crazy, super nice house. Oh my gosh!   Anyway, so we're sitting there, and he said, "You know what's interesting?..."   I'm trying to teach you guys the lessons I've been learning along the way, cause I got something specific I'm going for. Now think in terms of what I have just said before, right: "I am where I am because of sheer talent and not positioning," 'kay?   So we're sitting there around the fireplace in the backyard, and he says, "Dude you know what's interesting about what you do? There's literally not a business in this world that does not need what you do! This whole offer creation thing, it's ridiculous. I didn't know that's what you did. That was amazing. That was amazing!"   I was like, “Thanks, dude, that means a lot."   So I brought up the topic, I said, "The thing I've been focusing on, the thing I've been trying to figure out is which vehicle delivers what I do the best to the market?"   Cause you guys know I can get a bit technical on these podcast episodes, this is just my free stuff right - the real stuff that I do, you know... I tell pretty much everything, but I can't tell some things on a podcast. In fact, there's a lot I can't tell and its part of the reason why I'm doing this episode.   I'm gonna share with you guys what the plan is moving forward.   I went to this Mastermind one time, this was years ago... I was sitting in the audience looking at all the people that were going on stage, and this is not to judge anybody, this was years ago. I don't want anybody to think like, "Was he talking about me?"   But I sat there, and I was looking at the people on stage, and I realized, "That guy has no idea why he's making money." The next person would get up, and I'd think, "That lady has literally no clue on why her customers follow her, huh?" We all see that in each other's businesses.   That's one of the benefits of a Mastermind, right! You go to those things so that you can have other people who are also experienced in the same realm-ish come in and show you like, "Hey, what if you tried this, and this, and this and this?"   Masterminds don't work if people bring pride into it: "Well, of course, I knew that!" You know that doesn't work that way!   With Trey, he and I were teaching each other. If we both played the pride game neither one of us would have learned from each other, and that's what's cool about it.   And what's fascinating is I started realizing like, "My gosh, the funnel building game I set up to try and be the best at it." Am I? Of course not, I don't know? I'm not, okay... I've built a lot of them...   But what's fascinating is, remember: so I was mowing the lawn, and I realized "My gosh I am where I am because of talent not because of positioning," and then I was remembering back to that Mastermind: "Holy crap a lot of these people are where they are because of positioning, not talent." And I was, "Whoa! Right, I gotta get more serious on where I'm positioning myself."   And some of you guys might be laughing at that, but like I've always just had a mindset to provide sickening value, be incredibly valuable, and the money follows. And that's so true. That's how I've run everything in my business.   So what I've been doing what I've been doing is designing out  (maybe like three months ago I first started actually writing it), and I have it written out on my whiteboard my actual value ladder. Right over there, okay!   It's the value ladder that I'm building. It's the value ladder that I'm going for now. I'm not just funnel hacking somebody's product, I'm not just funnel hacking somebody's market - I'm funnel hacking somebody's business.   And if a business is just a series of systems right, I gotta funnel hack the business itself also. Meaning how do they fulfill on what they've promised.   If you look at this, some of you guys are gonna be like, "Well, duh Stephen, I've seen that before in the past." And I get that.   But if you look the most successful E-com businesses that are out there have a very similar business model. Their products are similar, what's different is the message - but the business model is very similar.   Supplements - the business model of a supplement business, the funnel, the business part of it, the marketing of it, the messaging of it, the offer of it - they're very similar.   You're not just funnel hacking a product, you're not just funnel hacking a message - but the business itself, the systems how you actually fulfill on it, how you support it right - those are all very similar as well.   And so I was thinking through like, that's really what's been going through my head, "What model?" and I've been very cognoscente of this question for the last like, I dunno like probably four-five months now.   "Which model fulfills what I do best for a market?"   And so what I've been doing is going through and figuring out what that is, and I've been drawing it. I've been drawing the value ladder.   Now way back in the day when I learned what the value ladder was, I started teaching it to other people because the concept is amazing. It was far more effective than these 30 days business plans I supposed to write for these professors or real businesses that I was asking for money from.   I've done that, it sucks! I much prefer a value ladder. The issue that I've noticed...   I was on stage one day teaching about value ladders. This guy stands up and goes "Well, I've drawn this value ladder, and I already know what this product is gonna be on this step, and I know what this product is gonna be on this step, but I don't know what the product is gonna be on this step?"   And I said, "I don't think you need to know what that is yet, right? A lot of your markets can help you define what that is." And he was like, "But I can't start my business until I have a complete value ladder." I was like, "Man that's such garbage, that's not true!"   The issue, right value ladders - they're amazing, they're incredible, but they can also be this huge hindrance when people put so much stock into them. When people take no input from their market at all. That's when value ladders become a crippling event.   So I always start a value ladder off by building in the middle of the value ladder - the mid-tier products.  Then I usually like to go up. I like to go to the expensive side, and then after that, I create the downside.   Now the very bottom, the cheap stuff for me, I always create it last. That's usually how I do it.   So you have to understand what I've been doing is...   Some people have been asking me, "Stephen, so what have you really been doing for the last while since you left Clickfunnels?"  Well running my other business - which has been doing fantastic. We'll put a dollar in ads we get two dollars back out, and it's been awesome. It's been so cool.   First of all been running that business, been building the value ladder products in funnels for their respective places, I've been doing a lot of that stuff, but what I've also really been doing though is starting to see and look where I should position me, not just my business, in the ecosystem of the funnel world. What would be the stupidest thing for me to go do right now? Uh, try to be the funnel guy, right? Man, Russell's the funnel guy. He popularized that entire concept. Why would I ever try to be the funnel guy? I'm not gonna be the funnel guy. That's dumb!   Even though I built a bunch of them, do you see how that's stupid positioning for me to go try and do that? Does that make sense?   That's what I'm trying to help people understand and see, they're like "Stephen, go be the funnel guy," and I'm like, "No, that's dumb! I'm not gonna be the funnel guy. There already is an amazing funnel guy."   I'm not gonna be the same guy, That's stupid, right! I literally would be doing the exact... literally the exact definition of fighting for scraps." Plus I'm not gonna try and be the funnel guy. Anyway, I'm not gonna do that.   So what I've been trying to do is figure out which category to go develop, for me to step in to?  And I think I know what the answer is. I'm not gonna just drop that here right now. I want you guys to experience it with me while I create it.   For those of you guys who have been in my world for a little bit and you've been a part of these different things that I've been doing, you're gonna start watching me actually build this thing out. It's what I've been doing, and it's what been going on behind the scenes.   So the whole point this episode is I'm just trying to help you understand that sheer talent is not the thing that gets you paid, right! It's not. It can...   It's also a long road; there's also a lot of pros that come with it. A lot of awesome pros that come with that. You can go and get freakishly good at the actual thing, and people get to know you for that, and you can charge money for it. There's a lot of pros at becoming amazing and paid - just because you're good.   But that's not the reason why you can continue to get paid.   It's not actually the reason you get paid in general either. You can go get paid, but the con, the con of trying to be the best is that it takes for freaking ever, right! It takes a long time.   I've been doing this game for, I think it's about five years now, specifically this kind of thing - five years now. The first thing I ever built on the internet was about five years ago, a little more than that. I don't think we had my first kid yet, so it was a little more than five years ago.   If you're like, "Man, Stephen, I don't wanna go spend five years." That's great, then that's fine you don't have to.   Instead of being the best, be the first - that's what Seth Godin teaches. And I absolutely love that you can be the best, or you can be the first. Those are the only options: you can be the best or the first.   What I teach, teaches you how to do both you can actually do both of them together.   ...but what I realize is, "Oh my gosh, I gotta position me a little bit more." So what I've been doing is positioning myself as the offer creation guy.   I just got another testimonial from a guy. I'm so excited about it. It was so cool. This guy reached out, and he said, "Hey, I got your product, super awesome, and I made $30,000 my first stage pitch." I was like, "What's up!"   Got another one last week, I think it was last week - Yeah. She wrote in, and she goes, "What's up, I sold over 50% of the room on my very first event. Thank you so much for that tactic and what you taught, that's what I did." I was like, "What's up, okay!"   It doesn't matter what you're selling. It doesn't matter about the product. It doesn't matter if you do it from a stage, or if it's on an e-book. It doesn't matter right if its a physical thing, or if its a supplement. It can be B2B or retail. It's the same principles throughout.   It really just meant a lot to me. And more and more it's been like, "Oh my gosh, this is the place I gotta go." So that's the whole point of this episode. I'm trying to figure out how to position myself and it's a moving, slightly moving target. I kinda know where it is, and as I move, it gets more clear.   If it sit back, and it's the exact same thing with anything in life, if I sit back, and I'm like, "oh, I just don't know what it is yet, so I haven't moved yet," nothing appears that way for me.   And so I've been actively, over this whole year, pursuing what that kind of is - and it's become more and more and more clear, and more and more and more open. I'm like, "Holy crap this is it!"   I love the book Innovator's Dilemma; there's a paragraph in there that is freaking awesome. He basically says that suppliers and customers must discover new markets together. That's what I'm doing!   That's why I haven't been like, "That's it!" Because I've been discovering what it is that people really need with the customer - which means I need to be with the customer. Which means I need to be creating products and being with the customer, you know what I mean?   So for those of you guys that are coming out to the OfferMind which is in a few weeks here, you're gonna watch me - that is what I'm doing. I know exactly what I'm teaching. I know exactly what you guys need to hear, but I'm doing it...   I'm trying to see how to deliver it in a way where I can see in your eyes, "Whoa!" That "A-ha, oh my gosh, wow." When I can get that feeling of what I just taught, you get that honor feeling, "Whoa."   Regardless of what you think about whoever the president of the US is, or regardless if you think whatever this leader, that leader, that whatever... if they walked in the room, you'd still be like, "Whoa, that's so-and-so. Whoa!" Like right, I need that emotion when you see what I'm teaching.   And when I've got that emotion, when you see what I'm teaching then I can put it in a book, does that make sense?   I know the concepts.   So people have asked me,  "Stephen, how come you haven't written a book on it yet?”  It's 'cause it's not just about the concepts. I gotta make sure that you ingest them. I gotta make sure the way I teach them... I gotta make sure the stories that I'm telling to convey the concepts are actually good.   There's no other way for me to get good at knowing what those are without constantly teaching it. Just bam, teach it, teach it, teach it, teach it, teach it, right! Over and over and over.   I've become more and more clear as I've done so. Then it's good for book, because a lot of what I say comes across right with my body language.   I don't have that luxury in a book, which means it needs to be ultra clear, you know what I mean? That's the reason why.   So if you watch what I'm doing in OfferMind... What's the purpose of OfferMind? Now I'll let you answer that. What's the purpose of things down below that - that'll help me clarify and figure out more of what's in the books right. That'll help me clarify, and it's so interesting.   There's a book, it's by, technically it says Ryan Deiss, but really it's Perry Belcher. It's a book called The Science of, no no. I'm thinking of the science sign one. I'm thinking about my group. It's called the Secret Selling System.   If you listen to the event that created the Secret Selling System. It's insane - the depth that you get from the event is way more - it's like way more.   It's like when people go, "Well I watched the movie, and then I went and read the book, the book was way better." The book's always gonna be better because your imagination gets to play. The movie is just one person's interpretation of what's going on in the book.   Exact same thing when a book gets created from an event; the way it was written was one person's interpretation of what happened at the event, you know what I mean?   The amount of the times something gets translated, like purposes and emotion, things get lost, right!   And so what I'm doing and the reason I'm saying all this stuff to you guys and I'll end this now, but if you guys read this book, The 30 Days book -You Suddenly Lose Everything, What Do You Do to get it back From Day One to 30?  What's fascinating about this is you will notice the patterns of creation that are actually shown inside this book right, and if you go in and start reading this thing you'll notice there's a pattern of creation.   There's a pattern of what to create when at what points, and that's what I've been doing, trying to figure out how to develop what I'm doing, and where to position me so that the positioning is what creates value, not just my talent. I want the talent too also, but it was that thing that I realized, and that was what Trey was telling me.   That's what I realized when I was mowing the lawn. It's what I realized when I was watching all these people at different Masterminds years ago, I was like "Huh, they're there because they positioned themselves in this place and then they got good."   I was like, "Hmm, I am where I am because I got good, and then I'm trying to figure out where to position what I do." You need both, talent is not enough in anything.   Talent is not enough, you still gotta position yourself right - and so that's what I've been doing a lot. And I just wanna get you to be thinking about that.   So anyway, hopefully, that's helpful to you? Hopefully, you like this episode? It's something really powerful to be thinking about.   I want you guys to be purposeful about how you create where you're positioned. That's really what I talk about when I talk about market design or category design, same thing.   Anyway, guys thanks so much, hope you guys enjoyed the episode today if you guys liked it, please share, I really appreciate it. The minutes on YouTube have been insane. The reviews on iTunes have been incredible, and I just thank you guys a lot, that really means a lot to me - it actually motivates me a lot.   So anyways I appreciate it a lot -talk to you guys later, bye.   Aww yeah!   Hey, obviously a funnel's already dead if you can't even get anyone to opt in, right?   So I spent four hours teaching an audience how to get high opt-ins; when they work, when they don't work.   If you want access to that members area - where you can watch those replays - just go to freeoptincourse.com to create your free members account now.

Karen Kraus and Bob Sallinger’s organizations, the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon and the Audubon Society of Portland, have formed what may seem to some to be a most unlikely partnership between “cat people” and “bird people.” But the truth, Karen and Bob have found, is that animal welfare and wildlife conservation have a lot more in common than people might think. Karen’s group, the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon, is a high-volume spay/neuter program in Portland that offers TNR services for feral and stray cats and low-cost spay/neuter for owned cats. Since its founding in 1995, the group has altered over 92,000 cats. They are focused on trying reduce the numbers of stray and feral cats on the streets, but in addition to spay/neuter, they do a lot of education—part of which happens through their partnership with the Portland Audubon Society. Portland Audubon Society (Bob’s group and the largest chapter of the National Audubon Society), has a state-wide focus on protecting birds and other wildlife and their habitat. Part of that effort includes trying to reduce predation on birds by free-roaming cats—and a big part of that effort has been collaborating w/ the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon. The relationship between the two groups, which has been going on for two decades, formed when the groups realized that they shared common goals—reducing the numbers of outdoor cats and promoting more responsible pet ownership. “From Day One,” Karen says, “our information has said that we recognize that outdoor cats predate on wildlife and that we want to see a reduction in outdoor cats to help both wildlife and for the cats.” Working together has allowed these two groups to be much more creative and to explore a wider variety of strategies than they would have been possible if they’d taken an antagonistic approach to each other. The result of this partnership is the Cats Safe at Home campaign, which encourages people to keep their cats indoors through such things as an annual “catio tour” in the area—as well as more academic projects like research to try to ensure that good information and solid statistics are available to inform decisions around the best ways to control outdoor cat populations and reduce predation on birds. In their interview with Stacy, Bob and Karen go on to give some tips on how other similar groups might approach trying to work together on what is a highly polarized issue on the national level. Bob tells us that while it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the magnitude of a challenge like decreasing outdoor cat numbers and reducing cat predation on birds, the truth is that most environmental challenges are solved “from the ground up.” In other words, it’s a lot of individual actions that add up to something bigger. You can help incrementally resolve this issue over time with your own cats by keeping them indoors (and if that’s not possible with your current cat, maybe with the next one), or by decreasing the amount of time they spend outdoors. There are a lot of things people can do that help solve a problem, Bob tells us, and the way we make progress is by a lot of people participating.

Karen Malone Wright is the creator of TheNotMom.com  She's an experienced writer and communications strategist who launched her website in 2012 as a resource for and about women without children in a mom-centered world.  This October, Karen will host The Not Mom Summit, which is a groundbreaking international conference for childless and child-free women.  Previously, she worked independently at her own business, The Odyssey Creative Communications Consultancy.  Karen has worked for clients as diverse as Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice in the Netherlands and Goodwill Industries of Ohio.  Karen is an example of someone who created the resource she was trying to find.  She is dedicated to helping and guiding women around the world who would otherwise feel unsupported. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Like many women without children, Karen assumed she would have children during her first marriage.  Ambivalence to the idea of children began during her second marriage when she was in her late 30’s. She was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes and realised she could be subject to a high-risk pregnancy. Karen talks candidly about the “active grief” that consumed her for 1-2 years as a result of the loss of her dream of pregnancy and children. It was a day-long retreat for women with pregnancy loss that finally taught her, through labyrinth work, to let go of the grief. Karen has found that women’s experiences of life without motherhood can be very different across regions and cultures. Karen discusses various reasons for the ambivalence many women feel about having a child. Building a life without kids CAN be rewarding and satisfying. Historically, women’s attitudes about motherhood began to change as women pursued college degrees. This is a trend that could have long-term effects on the population for the future. Women without children have to consider alternative care arrangements for their long-term care as they grow older. From Day One of launching her website, Karen knew she wanted to connect with women going through the same thing---and wanted to connect them with each other. One of the challenges is to figure out what legacy means when it doesn’t involve leaving a child behind. One of the major benefits to NOT having a child, Karen says, is having your own money and spending it as you wish—and NOT having to pay for college!
