Podcast appearances and mentions of graham english

Let's re-walk the Camino Francés together! Whereas many of the pilgrim interviews on the podcast take a thematic approach, focusing on a few big picture issues, this series of episodes will dig more into the specifics of walking. At long last, we reach Santiago de Compostela in this episode, after navigating the six final stages of the Francés. Sherry Kirkham of Ontario, Canada joins me for the first half, walking from O Cebreiro to Portomarín, and we talk about everything from squash soup to siesta failures to giant student groups. She's followed by Graham English of Alberta, Canada, for the home stretch, and Graham helps me to get in a suitably nostalgic frame of mind. An arrival three years in the making and the completion of this five-part series!

The very first episode of Owen Graham!

Graham English started building websites and learning digital marketing techniques to promote his jazz band.  Today, Graham has turned his passion for music into profitable digital businesses in the music industry.  Over the last 24 months, Graham has grown his business over 400% using the repeatable process he shares in this episode of the Perpetual Traffic podcast.

We have a great show for you today about riding the Gravy Train to Utopia Town! You will understand what we are getting at by the end of these show notes. To start off the show, Ben and Josh discuss their current Utopias. Ben just got a promotion to a senior level at his company! Yay Ben! He anticipates his coworkers won't be too thrilled since some have been there much longer than him but that just shows that hard work and exceeding expectations pays off. His promotion will be officially announced next week at his company's "Town Hall" meeting. With this, he received a pay grade that gets him one step closer to his overall Utopia. Ben's wife went back to school so that means that Ben now has more freedom! Just kidding.. Ben loves his wife very much. Josh has had a very busy life lately. Between providing impactful service to companies and becoming a charter member of the Digital Marketer Certified Partner program, Josh feels very fortunate he is being bombarded with a wealth of opportunities. His Utopia currently consists of continuing to provide the services that his team provides to clients while also expanding on, what he now calls, the Accelerate brand. He is currently in the midst of launching the CVO Acceleration brand. CVO stands for Customer Value Optimization. (You can learn more about it here.) This new brand is going to offer a much more intensive, intimate, and extensive level of service so he can help companies that are successful but are still missing opportunities in the online space. As far as the show, downloads have increased consistently every month so far, and we have received a wealth of positive reviews. Just this past week, Josh and Ben also planned some exciting improvements and developments for the podcast and business for 2015.For one, Josh and Ben improved on the questionnaire that serves as the basis of the discussions with guests. This reflects on one of the overall takeaways up this point that the show has provided: the value of planning! Planning is huge and everyone should be doing it throughout the year to make 2015 the best year ever! Josh even took a tip from Graham English on our show about planning tasks daily! He now uses one of his smaller whiteboards to plan out his tasks on a daily basis. In this show, Josh and Ben also spend time reflecting on this past week with Joe Fairless, who was a fantastic and inspirational guest that gives back in many different ways. This also led to Ben and Josh mentioning why Joe stays in NY, because of his flag football team. Josh says it is because Joe is from Texas. Ben, who knows very little about football, doesn't understand. Josh believes Texas produces more collegiate football players than any other state. Ben, who knows nothing about football, would not take Josh up on this bet. Which actually led to Ben bringing up how Josh owes Ben pizza and a pitcher of beer from a previous bet in Episode 15: Is there more coffee in tea vs. coffee? Joe left a wealth of value bombs in this past week's episode. Joe believes that everyone should be a "Sampler of Experiences." Josh and Ben couldn't agree more and reinforces Joe's recommendation to use Groupon to be able to do this. Utopian Quotes of the Show "You only have a limited time on Earth so maximize it!" -Josh Marsden, Build Your Utopia  Joe also recommended to Utopians that people know what they are good at and go all in. Ben and Josh discuss how some people possess limited beliefs about what they are good at and that everyone should build themselves up to believe in themselves. Everyone has something of value to offer the world. Believe in what you are good at and follow through with it. Finally, Joe also recommended to Utopians that they realize how they are benefiting others. This caused Ben and Josh to reflect on the show and how the show provides value to Utopians. This is what Josh and Ben hope Utopians get out of the show: Inspiration from our valued guests Relatability to us, our guests, and the challenges that everyone faces with work-life balance Tips on how to overcome that work-life balance challenge To be thankful for everything in your life To set goals, daily, weekly, yearly, and more To wrap the show, Ben says that Utopians should join us on the Gravy Train to Utopia Town, be inspired, and keep working towards your Utopia! (This is the same Ben that cringes at the term "value bombs" and he comes up with this?!) As always, a special thank you to The Strand for our intro and outro music!

In today's show of Build Your Utopia, we do as we usually do every Friday and review this past week's excellent content from our honored guests. This past week, we had Graham English. Graham was dropping Value Bombs left and right throughout the episode. If you haven't listened to it, you need to by going here. To start the episode we dove into the last 3 reviews that we've received for Build Your Utopia on iTunes. (If you haven't left us a review, please go here to do so) Special thanks to RiaWindcaller, The Entrepreneurs Library, and Mother Jen on iTunes for the fantastic 5-star reviews! Thank you! We then transitioned to speak about how Josh closed out 2014 with his business ICE Accelerate Marketing Automation Services. Josh had the best month of business ever in December 2014 and was able to bring in 12 brand new clients within the last few days of the year. Josh also shared on Build Your Utopia how he went on two back-to-back trips. The first trip was mostly a vacation where Josh was fulfilling his work-life balance need by snowboarding in Breckenridge and Vail, Colorado. The second trip was back to business in Austin, TX where Josh became a charter member of the Digital Marketer Certified Partner Program. This was an eye-opening and beneficial experience for Josh. You'll have to listen to this episode to hear a bit about what he learned from the experts at Digital Marketer. Ben and Josh, reflecting back on this past Tuesday's excellent show with Graham, then discussed the 80/20 rule which was mentioned by Graham. For those of you that haven't heard of the 80/20 rule, or the Pareto Principle, you can find out more about it at Forbes here. Josh is currently reading a fantastic book called 80/20 Sales and Marketing by Perry Marshall. Have an interest in making more money and having more time for yourself? I bet you do. Whether you are working in a corporate position or are an entrepreneur, you need to read this book. Next on Josh's list is Tony Robbins new book, Money: Master the Game. Finally to close out this Friday's episode, we also discuss the 5 (+1 BONUS) Value Bombs that Graham drops on this past Tuesday's episode. As always, a special thank you to The Strand for our intro and outro music!

Today we were fortunate enough to have Graham English. Graham has been a musician since the age of 14 and has performed with Fear The Monk, Field Trip and many others. He is also the author the Logic Pro X For Dummies, business and marketing consultant, and entrepreneur. He helps music producers and songwriters become more creative and productive at what they do so they can produce higher quality content FASTER. Tip from Graham: If you have an interest in writing a book, put accountability measures in place using a simple spreadsheet and reward yourself for little wins along the way. When we asked Graham about his Utopia, he gave us a very deep response that included statements like... Don’t ignore your dreams Don’t work too much Speak your truth Don’t think that working hard is a badge of honor Friendships Be happy Graham's Utopia is simple but also always evolving. He is also working towards a Utopia of working less, building a team, the latter being his next big step. Just like most entrepreneurs, Graham does struggle with work-life balance but when he does establish balance, he does so by making music, exercising, weight lifting, and enjoying culture. Finally to wrap up our guest spot with Graham, he dropped not 3, but 5 value bombs! These are what he considers the 5 fundamentals of business. Identify struggles/needs of your avatar (the term that Ben loves); You can do this by running surveys, checking amazon reviews on products that you know your market is interested in, or by using Facebook Insights, for example. Build a "machine" that ascends people using targeted email campaigns Master just one lead source before moving on to the next Put systems in place for your accounting, customer service, bookkeeping, and protect yourself legally Strategically manage the growth of your business with clear objectives, operating principles, and accountability Bonus Value Bomb: Find mentors that can lift you up and show you where to go Thank you again to Graham English for being a guest on Build Your Utopia!  You can reach Graham by going directly to his website here.
