On this episode, Ami Kassar interviews Gail Davis, founder and president of GDA Speakers, about managing a speaking bureau during the pandemic and what she learned. Gail Davis' decades of experience in corporate marketing and event management served as the launchpad for GDA Speakers. Before establishing the company in 1999, she spent 20 years managing the events of the Dallas-based global technology conglomerate─Electronic Data Systems (EDS)─founded by Ross Perot. While at EDS she discovered Nando Parrado, a heroic survivor of the 1972 Andes plane crash. Parrado presented an unforgettable speech at EDS' marquee event. Shortly after his successful keynote, Parrado signed an exclusive agreement with Davis as it was her efforts that convinced him to share his story after so many years. It was this partnership with Parrado which eventually anchored the creation of GDA Speakers. Davis is credited with bringing Parrado's harrowing experience to life in The New York Times best-selling book, Miracle in the Andes. Twenty-three years later, GDA Speakers continues to represent Parrado. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Andes crash, his story will be told through the upcoming Netflix movie, The Snow Society. Davis continues to discover new talent and under her passionate leadership, GDA Speakers has vetted and curated highly qualified speakers who they deliver to clients with confidence. Her successful business approach led to her being named the 2011-2012 President of the International Association of Speakers Bureaus (IASB). Previously developing new and improved education programs in her role as an IASB Governor, she has won numerous awards including the 2015 John Palmer Award, 2011 President's Award, 2010 Above and Beyond Award, and the 2007 Pace Setter Award. Davis is a frequent guest on podcasts sharing entrepreneurial insights, lessons in innovative leadership, and her vast knowledge of the speaker industry. Davis is an active member of the Entrepreneur Organization and a supporter of numerous community organizations. She was the co-chair of the 2014 Soup's On! Luncheon, the major fundraising force of The Stewpot Alliance - with that luncheon being the most successful to date. Named to the University of Oklahoma Gaylord College Board of Visitors, she went on to be awarded the 2018 Gaylord Distinguished Alumni Award. She was also honored by the Dallas Business Journal as one of Dallas' Top 25 Women in Business. Being drawn to the mountains, Davis enjoys hiking and has recently traversed 43 miles in Zion National Park. Merging her love for hiking and serving the community, she has also hiked the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim as a part of a fundraiser for Project Athena and has walked over 120 miles on the Camino de Santiago hike in Spain. She is an Oklahoma native, graduating from the Gaylord College at the University of Oklahoma, and currently resides in Dallas, Texas. Recorded 01/31/2022.

Power of Disruption: Gail Davis, a leader in the international keynote speaker industry, joins host Gregg Garrett for a discussion on the changes occurring in her industry as well as how she's driven her firm to emerge as a stable leader post-COVID. She of course shares her Top Three who include individuals that help her not sweat the small stuff, remind her that clear is kind, how to manage the tension between work and other facets of life, and those who help to fill a capability void.

Before founding the company, she spent two decades with the global technology conglomerate Electronic Data Systems (EDS, which became part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and now operates as MicroFocus and DXC Technology) in Dallas. While at EDS, she discovered Nando Parrado, a heroic survivor of the 1972 Andes plane crash that took the lives of many rugby players. Parrado was the keynote speaker for the company's marquee event. Based on the success of those early corporate events, Parrado signed an exclusive agreement with Davis, as it was her efforts that convinced him to share his story after so many years. It was the partnership with Parrado that eventually anchored the creation of GDA. Today, Davis continues to discover new talent and take the professional speaking industry by storm. She is credited with bringing Parrado's harrowing experience to life in the New York Times best-selling book, Miracle in the Andes. It is written as a first-person account of the Andes plane crash. Most recently, at her encouragement, Parrado lent his personal account to the acclaimed new documentary, “I am Alive,” featured on The History Channel. Under her passionate leadership, GDA Speakers has vetted and curated a number of highly qualified speakers who they trust and deliver with confidence. In the first 17 years, they assembled a database of over 5,000 speakers. Then in order to add more value to their clients they cut the list in half. Only featuring and working with the top speakers in each of the many categories sought by their clients. Her successful business approach and passion have also impacted the industry.

Success in your recruitment business requires a lot of effort and commitment. If you're being honest with yourself, are you working too hard for too little return? What if you can still be successful, and at the same time spend time on things that matter most? My special guest, John Schlegel, openly shared strategies that helped him be truly successful in his solo-practice while “having a life.”  From mindset, and utilizing contract recruiters, to building meaningful business relationships, you will hear valuable insights and best practices that may help you balance work with your personal life. John is the CEO and Founder of Stonebridge Search in Austin, Texas. He places professionals in the financial advisory services arena, for global and boutique consulting firms, PE firms, investment banks and accountancy firms. Episode Outline and Highlights [2:42] How can a solo practitioner bill $700k+ and still have a life? John shares 4 key factors. [9:00] With no investment banking background, how did John become a strategic advisor in the financial services arena?  [21:52] What made John decide to set up on his own? Hear the life changing events that led him to start his own recruiting practice under extremely challenging circumstances. [28:20] How joining the Pinnacle Society significantly impacted John's business. [32:00] The mindset shift that leads to greater success. [34:40] Best practices for contract relationships and outsourcing (1099 arrangements). [46:20] With recruitment being really time consuming, how does John spend more time with his family? [51:02] Hear John's two suggestions if you are working too hard to get things done. Going Solo and Getting the Right Balance How can a solo practitioner bill $700k+ and still have a life? John started his firm in 2009 and says it took a while to come up with the right mix and balance. Some of the successful strategies he put in place include: Focusing on these questions: How am I able to serve my clients better? What are my clients trying to accomplish?  Forging relationships with contract recruiters.  Transitioning to the position of a trusted advisor rather than a vendor. Can you relate to the above practices? In our conversation, John further discussed specific steps he took in applying the above strategies. Establishing Contract Recruiter Relationships One of the major contributors to John's success as a solo practitioner is his relationships with contract-based specialists. The core idea behind this strategy is to compute your yearly revenue, convert it into an hourly rate, then delegate tasks that would cost less than your own hourly rate, and focus more time on those activities that enable you to earn more revenue.  This is how John puts it: “One of the things that I learned from Jordan Rayboy, who is a great friend of mine… He shared this on the episode he is on with you, where he talks about if you make X amount per year, and you extrapolate those hours out that you are gonna work, say $300 an hour, what are the activities that are $300 or less that you are spending your time on every day? And I thought, he is right, I am spending 60% of my time on things that are less meaningful than I should be.” Some of the practices he shared are employing seasoned specialists, utilizing 1099 arrangements, and splitting the fee. Listen to the interview with John for full details. If You Are Working Too Hard... So how do you get things done and spend more time on your personal well-being, family, and other meaningful non-business/work-related activities? I asked John what advice he can give to someone who is able to successfully attain his job targets but is working too hard. John shared two suggestions: Take inventory of how you are spending your time. Take inventory of your digital time.  Hear John's experience on what made him focus only on tasks that are productive.

As a Business Owner, It's Important to Know How to Pitch to Media Outlets, but Even More Important to Adhere to Your Faith and Values as a Personal Brand   Yvette Walker Yvette Walker is a journalist, podcast host, and Dean of Student Affairs and Administration at Gaylord College at the University of Oklahoma. She is passionate about Jesus, podcasting, and her students. The key message that Yvette shares are that God is in every day, and His joy is in the details. Adhering to values is very important to Yvette and something she teaches her students. During our conversation, Yvette shares her view on journalism ethics and her calling to start the Positively Joy podcast. She also shares how to pitch to media outlets effectively, so that they will tell your story. 5 Tips on How to Pitch to Media Outlets First, surround a news peg. a. Explain why the pitch is important at the present time b. Holidays, current events, etc. Second, have a Good Story. a. A new book or the work you do are good, but you have to have a story around them                         because most journalism is human interest Third, have good artwork. a. Provide artwork to save the newsroom and journalist time and money b. Artwork includes photos c. Personal Branding photos are fabulous if you are an entrepreneur pitching a story Fourth, anticipate questions the outlet may have and answer them in your pitch. a. Anticipate their questions and provide the answers to save them time b. The easier you make it for the journalist or media outlet, the more likely they are to                        accept your pitch Fifth, know the outlet. a. Know who you are talking to b. Be aware of the interests of the outlet c. Know the audience of the outlet d. Find the right person within the outlet to pitch your topic to The Ethics of Journalism Yvette shares her perspective as a journalist, an ombudsman, a professor, and a podcast host. The daily news cycle has increased, and journalists are now limited on time. They are chasing stories and sometimes because of deadlines, they can't tell the entire story. There isn't enough time to spend on each story when deadlines are demanding. Bias Yvette shares that she has never met anyone who tried to cause intentional malice to anyone when telling a story. Journalists have a bias because they are human, however, when they are presenting material to the public, they have to follow ethics and share all sides of the story to make it as representative as possible. Most importantly, stories have to be told in a way to reach all populations. Diversity is a form of accuracy and journalists have to be objective. However, the "talking heads", or show hosts, reporting the story can and will infuse their opinions into the story. As a result, the facts can be skewed and the perspective of the listener altered. There are definitely media outlets that lean more left or right. But, the journalists working for the outlets should adhere to their code of ethics and report honest facts. It's important to differentiate between the journalists and the talking heads. Journalism is a complicated career. People don't see the behind the scenes, they only see what's shared. Positively Joy Podcast Yvette felt called to start a podcast. It wasn't originally meant to be Positively Joy, she had other ideas, but God guided her to do this podcast. She hadn't shared her faith openly often but knew her gifts and talents were all from God. After going to a DIVE conference by Rita Springer, she was opened up and started writing songs and a devotional. As 2020 unfolded and COVID hit, she finally had time to start the podcast she'd been dreaming of for the past 5 years. Yvette's goal with the podcast is to encourage and teach others to help them find joy. She believes God is using her to share His word and get his message out into the world. "We look for God every day, and his joy is in the details." Following your values, is key, and doing so can help instill joy in your life. It's important to know what you stand for and what you are willing to do. Holding to our values helps us to make the right decisions, especially when faced with challenging decisions. The Personal Brand and Values Above all, no matter where you are working, you need to uphold your faith and values. When people know who you are and what you stand for, they are more likely to hire you. No matter if you work for yourself or as an entrepreneur, you have a personal brand, which is what other people think of you. Your personal brand is how you will build relationships and trust.

On Saturday, February 8th, a man in a van drove into a tent with Trump campaign volunteers in it who were registering people to vote. I’ll discuss the latest. Special prosecutor Dan Webb has indicted actor Jussie Smollett in connection with a hate crime hoax that he was accused of staging last January. Patty Quillin, the wife of Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, has donated at least $1.5 million to support efforts to drastically change Los Angeles County’s criminal justice system. Peter Gade, director of graduate studies at the university’s Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, decided the phrase "OK boomer" was tantamount to the N-word — and actually used the racial slur during a class when declaring his opinion. “Calling someone a boomer is like calling someone a n***er,” he said, according to the college’s newspaper, OU Daily. I am scheduled to be joined by Ron Edwards to further discuss the topics of the day. This and more as time allows, plus don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day!

As we move out of rural areas and into cities, as we fill ourselves with Animal Planet and PBS nature documentaries, a funny thing begins to happen: We forget that some of those majestic creatures we've been encountering through screens all our lives can kill us. Rilla Askew is here to offer a simple reminder: Watch where you step.  Rilla was born in the Sans Bois mountains of Oklahoma. A writer of fiction and nonfiction, whose stories are often set in the harsh landscape of that state, she doesn’t think of herself as a “regional writer.” Rather, she says, “America is [her] subject, Oklahoma the canvas.” This essay comes from her 2017 collection, Most American: Notes from a Wounded Place. She’s also the author of several novels, most recently, Kind of Kin. Find her at RillaAskew.com. Special thanks to Ralph Beliveau at the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication at Oklahoma State University for recording Rilla for this episode.  Music in this episode comes from US Army Blues, Ralph Font and His Rumba Music, Kai Engel, Jahzzar, and Cullah.  Subscribe to Bestiary on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Anchor, or whatever app you use to tap into the podcast ether.
