Podcasts about getting there a book

Gillian Zoe Segal is the author of “Getting There: A Book of Mentors” and “New York Characters.” She received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Michigan and a law degree from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.  We talk about her book Getting There, and we explore the stories of many successful people. We discuss some of the themes and lessons from their experience: 1)     We start with Gillian's own childhood and upbringing 2)      Gillian shares how none of the characters featured in her book had a smooth and steady ride to the top 3)      She shares a story of young Warren Buffett's fear of public speaking and how he managed to overcome it 4)      We learn how the mentors in Gillian's book had blind faith in future success despite countless rejections. 5)      We hear about the importance of treating everyone with respect. 6)      Gillian shares a lesson from Sara Blakley, the billionaire founder of Spanx how it helps to protect and nurture new ideas. 7)      We talk about how great schools and degrees are not an indispensable ingredient to success and how getting fired might have helped many of the heroes in the book succeed. 8)      We discuss the dead-ends, plateaus, and even rock bottoms in the lives of the many accomplished people that Gillian features in the book. 9)      Stay tuned until the end if you are curious to know what a big wave surfer can teach us about goals and more. I had a lovely time chatting with Gillian and learning more about many people we all admire. Her book introduces them from a whole new perspective. I think there might be a lesson there or two for all of us. I certainly found some valuable takeaways for myself. ---- To get regular updates and bonus content, please sign-up for my substack: ⁠https://bogumilbaranowski.substack.com/⁠ Follow me on Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/bogumil_nyc⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Talking Billions⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bogumil Baranowski⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sicart Associates, LLC⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Starting an eCommerce store comes with plenty of challenges. From the logistical complexity to shipping products, there is perhaps no challenge as daunting as the competition. In today's episode of the MORE podcast, Ricardo is joined by Paul Kirch, CEO of Sellience, to explain a tool that helps small eCommerce stores stay competitive in the virtual marketplace: Cartfeeder. Paul always wanted to start his own company. He eventually negotiated out of his sales contract and started a company doing sales and leadership consulting. However, it quickly transitioned to a marketing company because that's where the demand was. Paul had started a radio show that eventually morphed into a podcast, and it ended up becoming a top 10 business podcast. While it has since been retired, it provided Paul a litany of knowledge to fuel his business. His digital marketing agency is Sellience, which focuses on marketing that drives sales, not just leads. Operating an eCommerce business comes with many challenges. You're going up against major companies that dwarf every small business owner. The problem with Shopify is if you're operating on small margins. Setting prices either equal to or more expensive than Amazon will lead people to just go with Amazon. However, operating on small margins can be challenging since Shopify takes a portion of each transaction.  Paul created Cartfeeder, designed to give small business owners an eCommerce store that benefits them and maximizes profit. Before Cartfeeder, the other tool or solution was just to have static pricing. And that pricing was based on traffic to the site. Amazon uses a similar strategy (called Spiders) that tracks eCommerce pricing for similar products and will make an attempt to undercut you in price.  A  quick case study: Amazon vs. diapers.com Amazon wanted to get into the diaper space, so they approached diapers.com and asked if they wanted to sell. They refused. Amazon started undercutting, offered free shipping, and providing other products catered towards mothers. Diapers.com approached Walmart and tried to sell.  Amazon, over one quarter, was willing to lose 100 million in revenue to squash diapers.com. And Amazon ended up buying diapers.com. The takeaway? Large companies have tremendous power to stay one step ahead of smaller companies. And this tool will give some of that power back to the small business. How to get started using Cartfeeder Shopify has changed the game for a lot of small businesses. But they take a portion of your sales to stay in business, which isn't the best option for companies with small margins.

Did you ever wonder if anything ever spooked Warren Buffett? Or how Jeff Koons got started? In the spirit of Tim Ferriss’ books, Tribe of Mentors and Tools of Titans, Gillian Zoe Segal spent five years meeting, interviewing and photographing 30 diversely successful billionaires (Buffett, Sara Blakely, Michael Bloomberg), artists (Jeff Koons, Marina Abramović), creatives (Frank Gehry, Hans Zimmer, Matthew Weiner), authors (Anderson Cooper, Graydon Carter, Jeff Kinney), athletes (Laird Hamilton, Jillian Michaels), and of course a Harvard Dean and Nobel Laureate along with various and sundry inventors, leaders, and pioneers. The result is a wonderful book of inspirational backstories and actionable approaches, aptly titled Getting There: A Book of Mentors. Gillian Zoe Segal is an entrepreneur, CNBC contributor, photographer and author of not only Getting There: A Book of Mentors but also New York Characters. She was also one of LinkedIn’s top voices and is a professional speaker having spoken at Google, Royal Bank of Canada, Lexis-Nexis, and numerous other venues across North America. Gillian received a BA from the University of Michigan and a law degree from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University. I first came across Gillian in Omaha at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting where she was doing a book signing. In this episode we learn how growing up in New York City shaped her and her writing, particularly her first book New York Characters. Getting There is a literal who’s who of interviewees, but New York Characters, while having many celebrities and notables, it is much more eclectic. We talk about the how she came up with that idea, along with a budding genre, like Brandon Stanton’s Humans of New York. She tells us how she transitioned from law school graduate to photographer and author, along with the backstory to getting her first book published and how she got George Plimpton to not only be in it, but also write the Foreword. Speaking to her humanity, her author proceeds from the sale of New York Characters went to the families of the victims of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. We do deep dives into both of her books and learn how she went about reaching those profiled, how she convinced them to be in, who was the hardest to get on board and who was the easiest. It’s interesting to learn that many of those profiled had failures and some pretty difficult beginnings. She also uncovered commonalities among these amazingly successful people and discusses them, along with a few surprises. We even learn how she composed her shots.  Gillian had the benefit of doing a deep question and answer session with 30 of some of the most successful people in the world, and we find out how she changed as a result.  Gillian, like those she’s interviewed, lives a life in full. She is gracious enough to have put her findings and experiences into words and pictures so we can as well.

Gillian Zoe Segal is an author of two books, New York Characters and Getting There: A Book of Mentors. She finished her Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Michigan and Law degree at Benjamin Cardozo School of Law. She currently lives in Manhattan, New York with her daughter and dog. Gillian is also a passionate photographer.  In this episode, we will learn more about Gillian and her journey – from attending Law school to working in their family business and pursuing her burning passion for photography. She will also unveil insightful experiences interviewing 30 successful people like Warren Buffet, Michael Bloomberg, Sara Blakely, Anderson Cooper and others in her second book, Getting There: A Book of Mentors.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Shannon talks to Gillian Segal about her latest book, Getting There: A Book of Mentors and discusses what we can learn from popular leaders to live a better life.

Did I just state that Gillian Zoe Segal's Book, Getting There, changed my life?  Well, it changed my business, which in turn changed my life.  Here book is an amazing series of interviews with people like Warren Buffett, Kathy Ireland, Ian Schrager, Anderson Cooper, John Paul DeJoria, and far too many more to list here.  Every person she interviewed is EXTREMELY successful.  Every person she interviewed was also faced with moments that would derail most people.  Moments of failure and moments of major self-doubt...  The book is called Getting There, but the sub-title "A Book of Mentors" defines everything about this project.   Every entrepreneur and business owner I've ever known has faced moments that could be defined as make or break.  Often, even if they don't find themselves broken, the result is a major shift in direction to avoid beating their head against a wall.  Or some diversion to avoid risk, opting for the safer route.  That's where so many great ideas die, right on the vine.  Ripe for the picking for those who are truly convicted to their mission.  Alas, that describes so few people.  That is why the elite list of people she interviewed are uber successful. They didn't turn away when they faced their challenges.  The fought through and learned that their fears and self-doubts were warranted, but they were not what defined them or their business.  That message is something that has helped me stay the course, when I might have otherwise walked away.  It isn't a message of "they did it, so I can too", but rather it's a testament to the fact that entrepreneurship is risky and to get the reward, you must face that risk head-on, not blindly, but educated and armed with the knowledge that it is part of the game we play daily.  Know your outcome first, then leverage what you can and need to in order to reach that destination.  I stated that this book changed my business and my life, so I hope you find the same amazing gifts within Gillian's message.

Gillian Zoe Segal joins James and Claudia today to talk about how you can get any mentor in the world. She interviewed "everyone" for her new book Getting There: A Book of Mentors. People like Warren Buffett, Sarah Blakely, Michael Bloomberg, Kathy Ireland and so many more. James tells Gillian that many of these people have said no to coming on to The James Altucher Show and asks how she did it. Gillian says a friend told her, "Don't take a no from somebody who can't give you a yes." That's what made the difference. If you get a no from the front door then try the back door, the side door or the window. Gillian says she finished this book because she had a need for the material. It was her passion. Listen as James and Claudia have great conversation with Gillian.   Regards, David Newman P.S. James says there are seven huge trends that will shape America.
