We've discussed the silver tsunami on the show numerous times, the unprecedented rate of which employees are retiring. When engineers and other employees retire from companies, they take with them more than a set of gold cufflinks or an engraved plaque. In many cases, they also take with them wisdom and knowledge. Perhaps this is never truer than in the case of Mike Konrad's guest today. And who is that? Doug Pauls. Pauls holds a B.A. in chemistry and physics from Carthage College, and a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He worked nine years for the Navy, eight years as technical director of Contamination Studies Labs, and more than 20 years at Rockwell Collins (now Collins Aerospace), in the Advanced Operations Engineering group where he is a technical fellow and, a principal materials and process engineer. He was awarded the Rockwell Collins Arthur A. Collins Engineer of the Year Award in 2004 as well as numerous other awards. Paul is a longtime (well over 30 years) IPC chairman and was awarded the IPC's Hall of Fame Award in 2017. Most notably, he is known for his expertise in surface insulation resistance testing, cleaning and cleanliness assessment, conformal coatings, and how to investigate and qualify manufacturing processes. He has been a U.S. representative to ISO and IEC working groups on SIR, electromigration, and cleanliness reliability standards. He has participated in numerous national and international consortia on electronics manufacturing materials and processes. He recently led a team of SMEs to redefine the cleanliness provisions of J-STD-001, culminating in what is presently J-STD-001H. To take liberties with a famous Mark Twain quote “rumors of my retirement have been greatly exaggerated”. For several years now, I've heard rumors of Pauls' retirement. Well, that day has finally come.  Konrad talks with Pauls about his long career within the electronics assembly industry: his triumphs and challenges, and his journey in this ever-changing, dynamic, and challenging industry. If you're new to this industry, stick around listen to Doug's advice to young people entering our world, the world of electronics assembly.   00:00:00 - Introduction to Doug Pauls' Career in the Electronic Assembly Industry 00:02:57 - Reliability Matters Podcast Introduction 00:06:04 - Sharing wisdom with early career individuals 00:09:34 - Hobbies Outside of Work 00:12:44 - The Minions and World Domination 00:16:23 - Overcoming Shyness through Theater and Public Speaking Lessons 00:19:41 - Lessons Learned from Skilled Trades People 00:23:03 - Working in the Department of the Navy 00:26:21 - Learning from Asking Questions and Trying New Things 00:29:38 - Learning from the Old Guys 00:33:05 - Participating in Standards Development 00:36:32 - The Power of Networking and Technical Committees 00:40:01 - The Value of Leadership Skills in Collaborative Industries 00:43:15 - Collaboration in the Electronics Industry 00:46:18 - Developing Valuable Skills in Problem-Solving 00:49:39 - Transitioning to Rockwell Collins 00:52:59 - The Four Pillars of Career Advancement at Collins Aerospace 00:56:32 - Finding Resources for Personal Growth 01:00:01 - Industry Updates and Resources 01:03:26 - The Value of Old Guy Stories 01:06:46 - The Importance of Understanding How Things are Made 01:10:08 - Retirement Plans, Consulting, and the Future 01:13:10 - An Unconventional Industry Presentation 01:15:59 - Thank You for Listening to the Reliability Matters Podcast

On episode 97 of the “De Facto Leaders” podcast, I had the opportunity to interview SLP and Related Services Director, Marva Mount. Marva is a nationally recognized speaker on issues regarding public school speech and language services. She is a published chapter author, and has been awarded the Hall of Fame Award for outstanding contributions to the field of speech pathology by her state organization. In addition, Marva is a distinguished fellow in the National Academies of Practice, and has served school-aged populations from ages 3 to 22 for almost 40 years. She currently works for Imagine Learning.Marva has made a career out of going the extra mile, never afraid to ask for things and share her ideas; which eventually led to an official leadership position. However, she was acting like a leader even before it was officially in her job title, which is why I thought she'd be a great guest to share her experiences advocating for the profession and her caseload. In this conversation, we discussed:✅Common mistakes clinicians make when starting conversations with leadership or asking for what they need.  ✅Tips for learning the habits, tendencies of preferences of building leaders and other team members so you can build trust and get your ideas heard. ✅Why administrators frequently say “No” to requests from their staff, and how to increase the chances that you'll get a “Yes”.

Rhonda Meyerhoff and Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Mariah Legleiter stopp by to share all the details on this episode of the Post Podcast.   Rhonda Meyerhoff, vice president of membership  we decided we would really give one to give more time to our our businesses that do the engraving on the award. So they didn't have last minute, we wanted to be able to give enough time to the committee that that picks from all the nominations to place them. And so we decided it was just be better to, to put that out in October instead of November. So it Yeah, yeah. It'll be in the in the October newsletter, if somebody wants that sooner. Absolutely.   James Bell  Okay. Well, let's talk some details like any Well, first off, I know we've gone to all the awards that we've done, and you've got this really cool list, right handed it to me as we got started, I don't know who I'm showing this to I'm showing it to the world out the window, I guess. But it's all the previous award winners, going back to the original award winners that looks like on some of these way back into the 80s, which is so cool. But anything new or different in that regard. Coming up on this one?   Rhonda Meyerhoff, vice president of membership  Well, the awards are the same as they were last year that we did start a couple of new awards last year. And that would have been the Grow Hayes proper e Schmidt Entrepreneur of the Year award. So Doug Williams at grow Hayes and Gary Sherman, with the Robert E. And Pat Schmidt Foundation, decided to come up with this one. So, you know, we've got a lot of really amazing entrepreneurs in our community, truly, you know, and in sometimes seminars, I suppose I did was start a new business will have a digital, is that a franchise? Did you form it after somebody else know that what that's an entrepreneur, and we have a lot of those in town just really good. And so they decided that they wanted to recognize someone who was an entrepreneur. And so yeah, somebody who's demonstrated, you know, that ability to create and, and grow their business over the last year. And, you know, and then there's always efforts that go in to make it a better value for our community. And we have some amazing things that happen in our community. And it's so fun to be able to recognize those. And then Mariah, we added another one typically,   Mariah Legleiter  we added the worst Wealth Management member investor of the Year award. We really wanted to well worth wells wanted to partner with us and come up with an award that really showcased one of our member investors that that adds a lot to the community. And that gives back to our chamber. I think I think it was a great idea. It went over really, really well. We were happy to have Hays med win that last year. I'm looking forward to the nominees for this year.   Rhonda Meyerhoff, vice president of membership  Absolutely. Absolutely. You know, and it's not all about financial giving. James, you know, we have a board of directors that's volunteer ambassadors are volunteers, and they're pulled out of their workplace all throughout the day. I mean, we try not to have more than three events that they're pulled out.   James Bell  Just imagine they're trying to work and your call would like no time to go. See him so much out in the community. Yeah, great. Yeah. And yeah, and it does, it takes more than just their effort, it's their employers to that allows them to do that.   Rhonda Meyerhoff, vice president of membership  Well, and their co workers sure picking up the slack while they're gone. You know, and we try to be really respectful of that. But you know, without those volunteers, and our H yp is a great group. They have some things during the day, usually at noon, or after hours. But you know, all of those things are really helping the chamber in immense ways. And then obviously financial, we appreciate that as well. But there's a lot that goes into that member of the Year award.   James Bell  Yeah, like that. Let's start getting some more of these. Are you a winner? No, maybe we will just go through it before we talk about the submission process and how that all   Rhonda Meyerhoff, vice president of membership  works. Oh, okay. Yeah,   Mariah Legleiter  so we have the city of Hays Small Business Achievement Award. The I smile Vision Plus dental Helping Hands award, the golden belt bank Hall of Fame Award. The grow Hayes, Robert E. Schmidt, Entrepreneur of the Year Award, the next Tech Citizen of the Year Award, the next Tech wireless Business Woman of the Year Award, five broadband Rising Star Award and of course, the worst well worth Wealth Management member investor of the Year award.   James Bell  So really kind of covers the gamut Yes. To me, yes. In the business world. Yeah.   Rhonda Meyerhoff, vice president of membership  Yeah, those new rising individuals that are showing a lot of promise for the future of our community. You know, gosh, those small businesses,   Mariah Legleiter  the seasoned people that have been giving to the community for years, we have the Hall of Fame Award like, yeah, there's a little bit for everybody. I mean, anybody that that gives back, I mean, there's a way to give back to them.   Rhonda Meyerhoff, vice president of membership  And I'll tell you, the really fun part is now being on this side when you know, yes, who's the winner? And   Mariah Legleiter  conspiring to get them there?   Rhonda Meyerhoff, vice president of membership  Yeah, because we don't want them to know. Sure. Oh, yeah. There's some fibs that are told in order to get somebody there. We just think it's all one off, off, okay. Because it's, it's for the award winner to get them there. But, and then we had their family hide in a room in the back. So they don't see their family there. Because that would give something away.   Mariah Legleiter  It's a it's an elaborate setup.   James Bell  The real reason why you had to push it back, you guys didn't do more time to get get   Mariah Legleiter  that actually, yeah, that actually was a discussion we had was to figure out how to get them there. We need just a little bit more time to figure that out. So   Rhonda Meyerhoff, vice president of membership  although we know the more people that know what's going on, then, you know, yeah, the cat can be led out of the bag. Our families are always so excited to I, I remember last year GT Park, her husband was back in the waiting room and, and waiting for it to be her turn. And she was so amazed when she went up to win her award. She just couldn't believe first of all, that she was worthy of winning the award, which is so humbling to me.

List of Ways to Reduce Crime

Bob Enyart Live

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 12, 2022


The show which can originally be found at kgov.com/crime [Updated June 13, 2021] - The death penalty is at the heart of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. - Salvation is presented in terms of crime and punishment. - The Bible is a criminal justice textbook. - Five of the Ten Commandments are for criminal justice - See below our list of ways to reduce crime. Murders per Million Source: See the FBI's 2018 Homicide Data Table 6 and the simple spreadsheet calculation. While many crimes go unreported, even sexual assaults, murder is almost always reported. This chart's statistics are highly reliable. Won't vs. Can't: Public policy should prioritize deterrence over inability. Human beings are almost infinitely creative. Thus, a government's top priority should be making it so that people won't commit crime rather than that they can't commit crime. List of Ways: Don't worry! Below, in our List of Ways to Reduce Crime, of the 25 specifics, none of them say, let's just stop shooting each other; don't judge; just love everyone; love God; all sins are equal; or forgive everyone. Flashback #1: Court TV interviews Bob Enyart regarding Scott Peterson's death sentence. Flashback #2: We purchased OJ Simpson's memorabilia at auction and then burned both his Hall of Fame Award and his Heisman '68 Jersey (which had been hanging in his Brentwood mansion) to call for the installation of a new criminal justice system in America. See KGOV.com/oj. Flashback #3: Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick as documented at ShadowGov.com and as an editor of the Wall Street Journal wrote, that Bill Clinton's rape of Juanita Broaddrick was an event that "in fact took place." Hear also Bob's worldwide exclusive interview with Juanita Broaddrick and with nurse Norma Rogers, her friend who found Broaddrick wounded and in tears shortly after the assault. Flashback #4: BEL aired never-before-heard Columbine recordings and we get to the real story (i.e., one murderer's Natural Selection t-shirt) behind the massacre, the search warrant application that was squashed that may have prevented the murders, and the disgraced sheriff's refusal to let SWAT intervene. Flashback #5: Check out Bob Enyart's phone call to Michael Jackson attorney's office on the very day that Mark Geragos threatened to sue anyone who "besmirched Jackson's reputation" and see the three pieces of information on the homosexual child molester that Bob gave to the Santa Barbara District Attorney. Flashback #6: Reporters whom we identify by name from the New York Times, the LA Times, and Reuters called for comment about the Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado Springs. But as fake news they all refused to show the petition signature or even report that the kgov.com/hero Officer Garrett Swasey who was murdered by the pothead who shot up the mill had been helping us to try to stop all killing at that abortion mill, including by the abortionist. Flashback #7: After our meager effort to get justice for JonBenet failed, we presented our Clue that Breaks the Case and our Concise List of Inculpatory Evidence Against the Ramseys including in this 200,000+ views YouTube: Five of the Ten Commandments: Five of the Bible's Ten Commandments lay the foundation for a valid criminal justice system: - Do not murder (basis for the right to life and prohibiting crimes of bodily harm crimes) - Do not steal (basis for the right to own private property and prohibiting socialism and other economic crimes)- Do not commit adultery (basis for prohibiting extra-marital intimacy, etc.) - Do not bear false witness (prohibiting of kgov.com/perjury as the basis for the right to due process) - Do not covet (goes to establishing motive in court proceedings) See kgov.com/americas-criminal-code for our one-page long proposed criminal code that can replace a million pages of the country's current codes. Death Penalty at the Heart of the Gospel of Christ: Question: Do any New Testament people or books support execution?Answer: As shown directly in the verses below, Jesus, Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, Hebrews, Revelation, and an angel all give strong support for the death penalty. But first consider the case of an American mass murderer. Here are the New Testament scriptures this article quotes: "For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying; but if there is nothing in these things of which these men accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar." -Apostle Paul, Acts 25:11 "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? For God commanded, saying... 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.' But you say..." -Jesus Christ, Mat. 15:3‑4 & Mark 7:8‑11 …rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. For [the governing authority] is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. -Paul, Rom. 13:3-4 And if anyone wants to harm them… he must be killed… -Apostle John, Rev. 11:5 he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. -John, Rev. 13:10 Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies (present tense) without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot. Hebrews 10:28‑29 [death penalty = deterrent for unbelief] "[we] are under the same condemnation, indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong" -repentant criminal being executed Luke 23:40-41 Here are a few Old Testament scriptures for capital punishment: Be afraid of the sword for yourselves; for wrath brings the punishment of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment. Job 19:29 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance… So that men will say, "Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely He is God who judges in the earth." Ps. 58:10‑11 "Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God He made man." Gen. 9:6 'take no ransom for the life of a murderer… but he shall surely be put to death' Num. 35:31‑33 "Will you profane Me among My people… killing people who should not die, and keeping people alive who should not live…?" Ezek. 13:19 Thus the death penalty still applies for murder, kidnapping, etc. But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless... for murderers [Ex. 21:16]... for perjurers... -Paul 1 Tim. 1:8-10 Finally, KGOV's New Testament Support for Capital Punishment explains that Christians should not advocate for the death penalty for the Mosaic symbolic offenses. Why not? For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law Hebrews 7:12 As of shortly after Christ's death, no government, not even Israel's, should punish, let alone execute, those who violate the symbolic ordinances which reinforced Israel's priestly role (Lev. 24:16; Mat. 15:4; etc.). Listener's Neighbors Murdered: Please pray for a BEL listener going to visit in jail a husband who turned himself in, who murdered his wife on Feb. 21, 2019. Both were Chuck's neighbors. Our listener will urge the murderer to forbid his defense attorneys from entering a not guilty plea, and even to dismiss them. Further, that he should not fight the death penalty. And, even if he asks God to forgive Him to save His soul (which would be wise, that should have no affect on the punishment that he is due in this life,

"While Nathan's success in real estate has deservedly earned him worldwide attention, what's even more impressive than the number of homes he's sold is the speed with which he attained this success. At the age of 20, Nathan was making $14,000 a year sweeping floors on a cruise ship with absolutely no real estate or business background. A year later, he'd closed 27 residential transactions, and four years after that – still under the age of 30 – he topped the RE/MAX charts in commissions earned by closing more than 130 properties. He was the youngest team leader ever to be number one in RI. Nathan was also the youngest to receive the Hall of Fame Award in 2011 in RI which is awarded to those who have attained over $1 million or more in commissions. He then went on to become the #1 Team in the state of RI amongst all real estate companies in the state of RI by 29 years old. But Clark's numbers have only careened upward. In 2012, Clark sold 198 homes, making him #1 Team statewide again for the 3 years in a row. Clark has consistently helped 100's of homes sell per year for over 17 years now (Nathan sells a home every 17 hours) selling over 540 houses in 2020. He has shattered all state sales records. Operating throughout Rhode Island Southern Massachusetts and Eastern Connecticut. Clark has held the distinction of being the top team out of all teams in the entire state for 11 years and counting. So how did this young man go from a deck hand to internationally recognized super-salesman in less than a decade? Clark credits his phenomenal success to the innovative and aggressive ways he has approached his real estate business from thinking outside the box. Without previous real estate experience, he entered the business with no preconceived notions of how things should be done, or how high “up” could be. With a tendency for funnel vision, rather than tunnel vision, he not only studied the real estate industry, but also businesses outside the industry to understand what made them successful and how their success could be translated to real estate when he met Craig Proctor. Craig Proctor the creator of The Quantum Leap Real Estate Success System which innovatively applies the concepts of leverage, specialization and systemization to provide superior real estate service for his customers, and a superior quality of life for himself and his family. Clark was schooled in the discipline of marketing by Craig Proctor, and marketing has become his passion. He has learned through firsthand experience how to use marketing to get prospective buyers and sellers knocking on his door. Clark has become hired as an international real estate coach for thousands of fellow agents across Canada and the U.S. through Mr. Proctor as he openly shares his step-by-step approach to success. He is an anticipated speaker at company sales rallies, international conventions and seminars, allowing him to share his winning strategies and techniques in a series of products, seminars and coaching programs and has been awarded several prestigious marketing awards in this program.

In Susan and Paul Furiga's penultimate episode in this series, Paul reminds us that for many organizations, the overwhelming volume and variety of social media seems to create one of the biggest storytelling roadblocks imaginable. And, it also creates some of the best opportunities even though social media is a double-edged sword. In this episode, guest Paul Furiga answers the question of what comes first, a story or social media. About Susan's Guest: Paul Furiga is the president and chief storyteller at WordWrite, having founded the Pittsburgh-based PR and digital marketing agency nearly 20 years ago in a candy-striped bedroom before growing it into a perennially top-ranked firm. Paul, who was formerly a vice president at Ketchum Public Relations, was honored in 2013 with the Public Relations Society of America Pittsburgh chapter's Hall of Fame Award for his impact in the region. Before that, Paul spent two decades as a journalist, covering it all, from Cincinnati City Hall to Congress and the White House, as well as serving as editor of the Pittsburgh Business Times.

Paul Furiga tells us to walk the toothpaste aisle of any large grocery store and you'll be confronted by a confusing reality asking yourself the question, "Aren't most of these toothpastes pretty much the same?" In this episode we learn how developing the story behind your story is the true secret sauce to power your business to new heights. But a consumer purchasing something is a completely different experience than an employee purchasing on behalf of the company they work for. The story we tell needs to take that into account and adjust accordingly or there will be a complete miss on addressing the needs of the B2B buyer.

Wachstum in Corona-Zeiten. "Sag mal Hermann, wie habt ihr es eigentlich geschafft, Wachstumschampion zu werden? Noch dazu in diesen Zeiten!" In dieser Podcast-Folge will ich ein wenig darüber erzählen, denn diese Frage erreicht mich doch recht häufig. Hintergrund: Das Magazin Focus und Statista verleihen jedes Jahr gemeinsam den Wachstumschampion-Award. Den bekommt man, wenn man - natürlich verifiziert - belegen kann, dass man ein enormes Umsatzwachstum hingelegt hat und gehört damit dann auch zu den 500 wachstumsstärksten Unternehmen Deutschlands. Wir haben diesen Preis in 2020 erhalten und wie es aussieht, schaffen wir die Wiederholung auch in 2021. Es ist eine Auszeichnung, auf die mein Unternehmen, mein Team und ich wahrlich stolz sein können, denn wir haben es als Veranstaltungsunternehmen in Corona-Zeiten geschafft, zu wachsen. Nicht nur ein bisschen, sondern sehr.Wir machen Andere groß. Und der entscheidende Grund, weshalb wir das geschafft haben, ist, dass wir uns bei all dem, was wir tun, nie auf irgendetwas spezialisiert haben, sondern unseren Fokus immer auf die Kunden gelegt haben. Natürlich ist auch mit ein Grund für diesen Erfolg, dass wir verstärkt auf Digitalisierung gesetzt haben - aber das ist eben nicht das Ausschlaggebende. Denn unser Motto heißt "Wir machen Andere groß" und wir bringen Menschen von ihrer inneren auf äußere Bühnen. Und damit meinen wir nicht unbedingt nur die physischen Bühnen - sondern alle Bühnen des Lebens, auf denen Menschen eben in Erscheinung treten, ihre Botschaft verkünden und damit sichtbar und gekauft werden.Awards - nicht nur für, sondern von uns. Und so schön es natürlich auch ist, mit einem Award ausgezeichnet zu werden, ist es für mein Team und mich noch viel, viel schöner, anderen Menschen einen Award zu verleihen. So haben wir unter anderem den Hall of Fame-Award ins Leben gerufen; eine Auszeichnung, die unbestechlich ist und nicht käuflich, und die man nur dann erhält, wenn man wirklich umgesetzt hat und etwas geleistet hat. Ich könnte jetzt so viele so großartige Beispiele nennen, dass dafür die Sendezeit nicht ausreichen würde. So nenne ich hier nur einige, beispielsweise Janis McDavid, der ohne Arme und Beine zur Welt kam und Menschen zeigt, wie Lebensfreude geht. Oder Antje Hebel, deren Mission es ist, Hundeerziehung in erster Linie als menschliches, nicht als Hundeproblem zu sehen. Oder oder oder, es gibt so viele dieser großartigen Menschen. Einige weitere Namen verrate ich in diesem Podcast.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Über 3.000 Vorträge vor rund einer Million Menschen in über 3.000 Unternehmen in über 30 Ländern, mehr als 50 Bücher in 18 Sprachen, 1.000 Presseveröffentlichungen, 50.000.000 Euro Umsatz, 9.000 Hotelübernachtungen, 10.000.000 Flugmeilen, Forschung und Lehre an 18 europäischen Universitäten, über 30 erfolgreiche Firmengründungen, die meist zur Marktführerschaft führten, eine anhaltende Beratertätigkeit, immer neue Impulse und Inspiration für Welt und Wirtschaft – das ist Hermann Scherer.

Jim Cathcart It's wonderful to be with you, James. Thank you. James Taylor So share with everyone what's happening in your world just now. Jim Cathcart Oh, war. Wow. Let's see. Well, the mountain trail running. I did that yesterday morning. And then I've been planning my next trip to China, which is August 26. And I'll be doing two or three cities over there speaking to thousands of people at a time with a translator standing at my elbow. So I do one paragraph, another paragraph. All day long. That's a little awkward at first, but you get the rhythm down after a while and I've got seven books in the works. I've been written and published 20 books. Let's see. I'm looking for co authors. So if there's someone in my field who knows me and my works, and they're interested in collaborating with me, then I'd be interested in hearing from them and I'm playing rock and roll spent a couple hours doing that with colleagues yesterday and God's great beers delicious. James Taylor So life is good. So I mentioned you are a CPA, he became Hall of Fame. So for people that don't haven't heard of CPA, what is it and the history Jim Cathcart it comes from an organization called the National Speakers Association, which is a US based but now worldwide, as well. association of people who speak for a living you know, speakers and trainers and keynote speakers. And consultants and entertainers and all kinds of people from all walks of life. They're about 5004 or 5000 members in the US, and several thousand more around the world. And I'm a past national president of that group. I joined back before the invention of dirt. I joined in 1976. I was 30 years old. I'll save you the math. I'm 72. And I joined in 76, when we had about 200 members and then many years later became their national president. They bestow an order of honor each year called the speaker Hall of Fame Award and its designation is CP a II Council of beers award for excellence. And then CSP is certified speaking professional which is an earned designation rather than an award. And you get that through years of study and practice and success. And that little fella over in the corner you can see over my shoulder, there's a statute. That's Cabot Robert. He's the founder of the National Speakers Association. He passed away about age 97, several years ago, but he started it all. And that's an award they give each year to sort of a lifetime achievement award to the person that feel as behave most like our founder in supporting and encouraging others. James Taylor So I was I was in India last week. And while I was there, I was speaking for some other conferences and events and clients about why I was there, I managed to go and hang out with some of the members of the professional Speakers Association of India, which is wonderful member of the global speakers Federation just started. We were just talking about our speakers we admired as you can look for, and I mentioned a couple of other, the older names from the I guess from the world of speaking and Match some of these names in a second. And they hadn't heard. So I thought one thing I'd love to do on this call because because you have this this kind of deep history with the speaker's community, and with the National Speakers Association, who take us back a little bit for those who are some of those kind of early speakers that maybe are not with us anymore, that any speaker that's watching this just now, they should go find those YouTube videos, find those audio audio tapes, if there's only tapes, mp3, they should go and check them out, because that maybe we've kind of forgotten what the what the game is about speaking, Jim Cathcart right? Yeah. By the way, last week in Denver, Colorado, I was at the global speakers Federation meeting. I was I was making a presentation on behalf of the new China Speakers Association that I'm co founding with, with people there. When I joined the NSA National Speakers Association, there were, as I mentioned about 200 members. Well, all my heroes were among those 200 members. And my speaker heroes were the Great's of the day. You know, people like Zig Ziglar, who was new at the time, and Zig passed away now but he became a good friend of mine over time. Og, man Dino, oh gee, man Dino. His real name was Augustine men Dino and he was the author of many, many million million dollar books, the best known of which is the greatest salesman in the world. Gosh, W Clement stone was the owner of combined insurance company of North America and it made well it actually became the sort of the bill gates of his day was the richest man in America for a while, and I got to know him and work with him briefly. Earl Nightingale was my personal mentor, the main one that inspired me he was on radio more than on stages, but enormously influential, you should look up Earl Nightingale comma the Strangest Secret And there were YouTubes of these folks. You can see them, you know, gosh, Dr. Kenneth McFarland, he seldom mentioned but he was one of the people that inspired all those other people I just mentioned, and I had a chance to briefly know him. Have it, Robert, the not Roberts. But Robert, like a first name. That's his last name Cabot, Robert. He was the founder of the National Speakers Association. There's one more guy who was the one who invited me in. And that's bill go g o v. And Bill was the first president of NSA. And just funny as could be, he was a sales motivator. And all of those people, I was standing around looking up to them, you know, and thinking, gosh, could I touch the hem of your garment? And I went to my first convention, and I was I'm a rosy cheeks, 30 year old newbie, right? And I'm there around all these people that I've known about how Heard recordings off. And I just, I was just amazed to be there and a little odd. And so I went to all of the meetings of the convention that I could. But there was one meeting that I couldn't afford it was $40 extra. Whoa, in 1977 $40 extra was a lot of money. And so I went across the street and bought a hot dog from a street vendor. And I came back and I stood outside the meeting room for the $40 banquet. And as the door would open, people would come and go, I would listen to the speakers speaking. And I remember when people would come out, I would hold the door for them for a moment and let it close more slowly so I could hear a little bit more, because as soon as it was closed out, closed out again, you know, so long since finished my hot dog but thinking back on that now I've been the the president of NSA received the golden gavel award from Toastmasters International, I've been celebrated all over the world as a successful speaker in one way or another, you got 20 books and 3200 paid speeches to my credit now. And reflecting back on that. I still feel a little bit like that guy inside, you know, the one that was standing in the hallway. I still feel like what an amazing privilege to be in this and to be getting away with being considered an insider. James Taylor But But it's interesting because you obviously have this interest like I do in music. And often they have these documentaries where they look at the the musical, the tree, the musical tree, oh, bang. And, and I often wonder, I don't know if someone's done this in terms of the speakers because there's oftentimes I'll hear a speaker who's a new speaker, rather the new speaker I'll hear them say a line. But I'll be having a conversation with them. And they'll say, I really like what you did. Then he said, Oh, I got that from this person. Right? It actually it didn't come originally came from like Zig Ziglar, or it came from somewhere else is kind Jim Cathcart of Zig got it from, you know, Norman Vincent Peale, or Dr. Peale. Got it from Napoleon Hill who wrote thinking grow rich or whatever, you know, it goes all the way back. For others. We've been able to trace these things back is to the late 1800s, early 1900s, a man named Samuel smiles. And he was one of the early early success gurus in America. And another one that came along that was a huge influence. Elbert Hubbard Hubbard died of when they sunk the Lusitania ages ago, back the beginning of World War One, that timeframe. Yeah, it's just an amazing legacy. James Taylor So now you're going out to you in China a lot. You're helping set up the China's Speakers Association, and which is, obviously, there's a whole new flourishing of new countries bringing new Speakers Association, lots of new speakers coming up. What are some of the what are the big differences that you notice a new speaker starting now as opposed to when you when you were first getting started? And also what some of the the opportunities, some things that you didn't you didn't have that the speaker today has? Jim Cathcart well consider that when I started. I had been a trainer, I was teaching other people's courses and I thought this is fun. I like this. I don't want to be a teacher in a school system. But I but I love teaching and I love helping people succeed. But there was no internet at all. There was no there were no cell phones. Everything was home phones, you know dial phones, or pay phones. We put in the coins which to a lot of people Today is a foreign concept phone books. What what's a phone book, you know, this was before fax machines. So there was no email. People if you wanted to communicate it with snail mail only you write a letter or you take a document, you put it now envelope, lick it, stamp it, take it to the post office or give it to your post man. And, and they were all men at the time. And then, you know, you wait. So the time gap between wanting or intending something, and achieving or receiving it was huge compared to today. I mean, this morning I i've been online I've communicated with probably 25 or 30 different people direct one to one communication, not real time, because they'll probably read it later today or maybe even tomorrow. But they were able to send me a message and I got back to them. Like that. Plus, if I needed information before responding, I went on line. Siri, hey, what's James Taylor's middle name? And what's his jacket size right now and and she probably knows that she's searching for that as we speak. By the way, I know Siri. honest truth. I know personally no Siri, the lady that made voices in Zurich. Her name's Karen Jacobson. She lives in New York and she is the Australian accented voice of Siri. She's also the GPS girl who's in a billion. Let that sink in GPS systems around the world. She's the one that says recalculating. Yep. So what's the difference today and then then it was slower then. You had to go to the library to do research. physically go to the library. Today, you can find answers instantly while you're sitting at the dinner table, which is rude. But possible, and that Wow, what a different world. Now you say okay, yeah, but there's so much more competition today. Granted, there is when I became a professional speaker, motivational speakers we're not even known Have you would tell someone, I'm a motivational speaker and trainer, what's that? Well, I deliver speeches and you know, teach people success methods that help them do better. Really, people pay for that? You know, I mean, honestly, it was a there was no file in people's head for that data. And today, everybody says, you may like Tony Robbins, you know, yeah. And who I know, by the way, you know, I've done a firewalk with him. I've had lunch with him and been around him a half dozen times. And he's probably the best known because he kind of a rock star in my field. But today, the opportunity is just enormous because people already believe at all that you is a good idea. I had to sell that idea. Because people say no and I graduated school. I'm done learning I'm going to work now. And companies would say no, we don't bring in outside trainers, you're not in our field. What could you teach us? Well, I could teach you sales techniques. I could teach you effective listening how to be a better leader, how to not know. You don't know our business. And so today, heck, you can know somebody's business fairly well in an hour. Just doing web searches, you know, we know it well enough to at least talk intelligently about it and ask the right questions. So today, I think it's easier but there's so many others out there you've got to you got to really be the real deal and stand out and do your homework and, and be outcome oriented for your client. You got to honestly want to help Zig Ziglar had a famous quote, people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Well, I've altered that just a little bit. To make it more directly applicable, people don't care what you know, until they know that you care. So if you sincerely care about helping other people, today, there are more ways to do it more easily and more rapidly than there ever have been in all recorded history. James Taylor So we now have obviously a lot more speed as the velocity is a lot faster, which obviously increases competition because yourself and you know, the even the speakers before you the the Auckland dinos and Zig Ziglar as they kind of laid the groundwork, they were the path founders there as well. But I'm also wondering, what you know, people will like scientists will often talk about first principles, things don't really change or someone like Charlie Munger, who's Warren Buffett's business partner, right? Well, he says, always look at what the first principles, you know, what's the what's the things that remain? So what are some of those first principles that regardless of whether you are a speaker in 1960, or you were the speaker and now in 2020, that don't really change Jim Cathcart that. That's a great question. By the way, whenever I'm doing speaker schools and I do that pretty frequently teach other speakers how to do their, what they do. Um, the first thing I start with is I tell them, Look, let's talk about what matters. The speaker doesn't matter. The audience doesn't matter. The message doesn't matter. And they go away, wait, wait, hold it, there's nothing left to wait for it. What matters or at least matters most all those things matter. But what matters most is what the audience can do with the message from that speaker. So that's a first principle, the only thing that really justifies all these people coming together. And you being in front of them with a message is whether they can benefit from the message or not. Because if you're just there to tell stories and put on a show, then bill yourself as an entertainer and get a smaller fee, or become a big, big celebrity and get a large fee. But if you're there as a speaker, professional speaker, your job is not to make sounds is to have an impact on the listeners to make a difference for them. So someone says, Jim, you're a motivational speaker, motivate me? And I tell them no, and they say what? So motives aren't something you give people, there's something you stimulate that live within people. If If I come to you and I put a gun to your head and ask for your money, if you don't want to continue to live, the guns not a stimulus, it's not motivating you. So you're just saying Take your best shot, right? But if you want to stay alive, you'll probably give me your money. Now, I didn't motivate you. The desire to live is what motivated you. And the gun was just a stimulus that threatened the desire to live. Right? So how do you motivate employees find out what they want, find out what they care about, find out how they'd like to be treated, find out what makes them go home at the end of the day, saying, Man, that was a good day. I'm so glad I work here. Or wait till I tell you what I was able to do for a customer today. You know, when you find those motives inside your people, then you can stimulate those motives with the right kind of actions, right kind of rewards, right kind of incentives, things like that, and the right kind of human treatment. You know, most people don't leave when they leave a company when they quit. They don't leave the company, they leave a person. They leave somebody they don't want to work with anymore. And look at it that way, it makes things a whole lot simpler and easier to understand. Oh, here's another first principle. Customer Service should be given, not pursued. Customer Loyalty should be given, not pursued. So when you say we want to increase customer loyalty, I'd say great. How are you going to be more loyal to your customers? And they say to me No, no, no, you don't get it. We want the customers to be more loyal test. Okay, got to start somewhere. How are you going to be more loyal to them? Like when on the days when they're not buying? What are you going to do that makes them know that you care? No, Jim, you don't get it. We just want them to buy from us again next time. Yeah, yeah, that's called greed and selfishness. Right. Let's talk about customer loyalty. What would make somebody say I am so glad I do business with this person or this company. The way they're treated and the way you honor your word. James Taylor And sometimes these, the unexpected. I mean, I think some of the actually, even some of the bureaus that I work with is bureaus. the good ones that are you know, that there's some things that they're just, they'll see something and they'll just, they'll send some something to me, they email me something. And it's nothing about it's not transactional in any way. But they know I'm interested in that or they know that my partner is interested in something just now and it's and it can help grow up it can help grow our business. So it's just about showing Ron Kaufman the speaker, he talks about he talks about careology which I love. Yeah. Jim Cathcart Very, very dear friend of mine. Yes. He James Taylor talks about his idea of moving away. We can just be in customer service, but actually what his customers have you break it all down is Caring is really a very, very deep level. Jim Cathcart One of the books that I'm best known for is this one, relationship selling. And the whole idea of relationship selling is not just being nice to people, that would be courteous selling, I guess, relationship selling is based on the idea that business is about serving people and gaining profit by doing so. So business is all about making the world a better place and being rewarded for having done that. So relationship selling assumes a relationship is an asset or it could be a liability. But if you look at all your connections with with all your customers and would be customers, as the beginning of an enduring, long term relationship, then yes, you can intelligently cultivate each of those connections to where there's an acquaintance And then from an acquaintance to an affinity or you know, you like each other, trust each other a little bit. And then over time you get to where you rely on each other. And then you don't ever want to lose each other, you know, so you can take it from just I see you, I'm not a threat to you, you're not a threat. To me, that's the basic beginning of a possible relationship to I do until death do us part, you know, and between those two extremes, there's a whole lot of trust building. And you don't build trust from the outside you earn it and it's given from the inside so the other person always controls whether there's trust being bestowed or not. James Taylor And has as the the whole the area of selling in selling your speaking programs wherever they may be. Has that changed significantly over the years or are we still Is it still pretty much a very similar type of thing you the individual techniques and may have to But fundamentally, the strategy is the same. Jim Cathcart Well, fundamentally, the strategy is the same, but the steps required are so vastly different. Like I used to make, I don't know how many phone calls a day, but I was in a typical year delivering about 120 speeches in different cities around the country. And I was mostly domestic us back then. But I was constantly on the telephone. And I would call a company, you know, just completely out of the blue, I would call someone for the first time ever and say, Excuse me, do you hold conventions for your company or your industry? Well, yes, we do. Well, which department handles that? Oh, that comes from the executive department. Okay. Would you please transfer me to them? So I get transferred to the executive department and I've got my own little checklist of the questions I need to ask not a script, but a guide, you know, kind of like speech notes, but not a speech script. I would I would talk about meetings and I would ask them, Do they ever use outside speakers? And what is the purpose of the of the meeting typically? And how do people respond? And what do you consider, you know, the most successful recent meeting you help? So I would have to interview people quite a bit just to find out, is there a possibility they're going to book an outside speaker, and most of them didn't. And I had about five sales to make sell them on the concept of using an outside speaker on the the belief that teaching soft skills like human human relations skills, and such would be a useful thing. Instead of teaching the latest engineering technology, I had to persuade them that having an outsider who was beginning to understand their business could still benefit them because he's teaching universal principles, and then teach them or convince them that a keynote speech could lead to a seminar could lead to a group Discussion could lead to everybody reading a book and discussing the book and applying it in there that about you know, so I had all these things to convince them off and I was selling audio cassettes and they had reel to reel they had record players and they had eight tracks. And so I had to sell them not only the recordings, but the idea that listening to a recording could teach you something because that was not considered a given. And then I have a kick to sell them a cassette player and batteries. I honestly did. I had to sell a cassette player and batteries so they could consume my product. James Taylor As I'm hearing you talk about this chip, I'm just thinking, Wow, we have it so easy now online courses, online memberships. We I could think of an idea this morning. I could film it this afternoon and have it being sold later this evening directly to the car. Jim Cathcart You could be sitting there saying okay, I want to sell to IBM Corp. gration or Apple or somebody, you know that some huge enterprise, that's okay I want to sell to Amazon what, you know what are the principles? And you're asking Siri what are the principles of enterprise selling? And she comes back with a whole bunch of websites and you click on there and there's articles on when selling to a huge enterprise. This is what's different from selling one to one to a small business. And then you say, Okay, well how do I find the headquarters office of Apple corporate and you know, Apple computers, and who's in charge of their training department thing, and it's there. Wow. James Taylor But regardless of whether you're doing it back then, or whether you're, you're doing, you know, kind of selling now as I'm looking through in terms of strategy, you know, you got moving things from suspects to qualifying to prospects to come estimate to reflect customer and referral. So some other things stay the same. So there's an there's an intent, it has to be you say like an intentionality. To this there has to have to have a system. Jim Cathcart That comes back to my earlier statement you asked about first principles in speaking. And I said, it's about what the audience can do with your message. In other words, it's about serving people. Well, the same thing is true in selling. If you are there as a partner in problem solving, if you are looking for people to help instead of people to persuade, then you will be welcomed more often than rejected. But the key to it is your mindset. You've got to in your heart and mind, honestly want to be a value to someone else. And be willing to find a creative way to do that so that you can get compensated. And so if you go in as a partner in problem solving, you can talk to anybody whether you have a sale in mind or not. generate some pretty amazing conversations. I was once on the plane next to Kenny Ortega. Kenny Ortega was the man who produced the opening and closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. He's also the guy who designed the orchestration of the fountains in Las Vegas in front of Bellagio hotel, and produced the movie. This is it with Michael Jackson. And he was he's an amazing guy. So I'm sitting on a plane flying from LA to Las Vegas. And he sits down next to me and we just start chatting. And I said, so what's what's your field? He said, Well, I, I create things. So really, what kind of things and he told me those things. And I thought for a minute and I said, the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics. Wow. I said I would think That the biggest challenge was keeping the flame alive inside each of the people. In other words, keeping the spirit of the Olympics, foremost in their minds and hearts, through all the 10s of thousands of people from all the countries all over the world, keeping that one central focus in everybody was probably your biggest challenge. And he looked at me and his mouth dropped open. He said, Nobody notices that. He said, that's exactly what the job was. He said, my biggest challenge was keeping everybody engaged like that. Wow. He said, Here's my card. If I'd never be helpful, give me a call. Well, okay. Now imagine If, on the other hand, I said Hi, I'm Jim Cathcart. I'm a professional motivational speaker motivation is a very valuable thing in our society. Wouldn't you agree? How do you motivate the people in your organization? I mean, just that, right? Instead, I'm just talking with a guy and looking for something to admire and compliment. And as I heard it, I thought about it, and I thought deeper what's the first principle? And then I commented on that, and it blew his mind. And he offered me his card. I never didn't even have it in mind to ask for it. James Taylor That reminds me if I think Stephen Covey, I think he was a CPA as well as people of faith Jim Cathcart No, but he was definitely a major influence in my field. I knew him he hired me a couple times to present on programs appeals, and I shared the platform with him. amazing guy, James Taylor so he had that phrase, seek first to understand then be understood. Jim Cathcart Right goes that, James Taylor you know, rather than the, the selling as well and actually say something I'm thinking about something like Stephen Covey, and I'm thinking about some of those other names that We'd mentioned earlier. And I think some of those names that we did you know, the ones that you just said right towards the end like the Samuel smiles, for example. Yeah. And I'm guessing and I haven't seen it, but I don't know if Samuel smiles has a book, you know, what, whether there is or does Jim Cathcart not. In fact, I think the title of it was access. Okay, so it was a long time ago before anyone knew what that word meant. James Taylor So that leads me to my next thing, which is about what is the role of creating a body of work, and something that is going to go live live beyond you? that people can look back and actually, you know, 100 years 200 years time, there's some universal principles, evergreen principles that you can say, right? Wow, that feels like that was written yesterday, just like today, you know, I that's so interesting. You you've written 20 books. And I think, I often think our speaking is an amazing thing, but it's quite an effect. All, like going to live concerts like you experience this thing and it's fantastic. And then there's a way for them. Yeah. But then his music is gone is gone. And we think about all those great music artists over the years who we were taught with fantastic life, but we have nothing to remember them by or to think. So. Where do you see where you are in your career just now and looking at looking back and thinking, what advice you can give to other generations? The role of work in today where maybe the person is the book? Jim Cathcart Yeah, you know, the famous, the secret the movie that came out. Rhonda Byrne did that a few years ago and, and it was focused on a principle from a book in 1910 called the science of getting rich by a man with the unfortunate name of Wallace wattles. It's like, you know, john Thompson or something more Mainstream Wallace wattles but Wallace wattles had a very profound impact on on people's thinking. His book, The Science of Getting Rich talked about the law of attraction, and how in in science or whatever in philosophy as well, that when a desire or a focused idea is is created, the energy from that draws to it other things. It's like when you get a new car, and let's say you get a blue Toyota, well, the minute you go on the road with your blue Toyota, you will start noticing blue Toyotas everywhere. Now, they were there already, but you never noticed them before. But now your attention is different. And so you're seeing those opportunities where you never saw them before. Same things true in business when you focus on a goal. When you say I will become a professional speaker, full time professional Speaker and earn my living by sharing truths and motivating audiences. Well, that's a big goal. But once you actually commit to doing that, you'll start seeing opportunities to do it. So how do you write a best selling book, you say I'm going to become a best selling author? Well, there's a difference between writing a best selling book and becoming a best selling author. Let me explain that difference that I have many friends who are best selling authors, and many of them have best selling books. But some of them don't. Here's the difference, a best selling book, if you put it in a bookstore or online at Amazon or Barnes and Noble or whatever, it'll sell. Because it's a best seller. It's got a popular title. People love it, and they're interested in it and they do. internet searches to find it. Okay, it's a best selling book. a best selling author is let's say it's you and so you decide to Write a series of books you write your first one. And it pretty much captures your your life philosophy and your business strategy and your main story. And you go out and tell people about this book and you do the practices that would lead to selling many, many books. Well, it may never hit a bestseller list, but you'll be ordering thousands of them to deliver to your audiences and to fulfill through your website and to sell in your own ways. It's kind of like being a best selling act, you know, perform musical act. You can sell out houses and sell tons and tons and tons of merchandise from your concert, but never hit the main charts. And you can think back over the years there have been really noteworthy musical performers that have been that type. They never really were a chart topping performers But they made a fortune. James Taylor Yeah, that's that's interesting distinction I think about a good friend of mine who is not he's not. He's not known as a as a best selling author. Yet his last book sold 250,000 copies Jim Cathcart or beyond best selling. Yes, James Taylor it's and because he was looking for a different thing he was looking for impact rather than maybe some of the bells and bells and whistles or making a New York Times bestseller. And because that book has been so it's it's a worldwide book. It's not focused on just a particular one particular market. I think he said the other day he said one in 10 people in Iceland have got a copy of his book, which Jim Cathcart you've got that my friend Alan peace out of Australia is like that. Yeah, he's got a book called why men don't listen and women can't read maps. James Taylor Yeah. I've ever seen him. I think it was hit with a him and his wife. We used to go out Jim Cathcart together. They still do. And I just got an email from him this morning. And his book is the number one bestseller in France right now. And he didn't even know that it was selling in France, James Taylor is that difference between writing a best selling book and being a best selling author? Interesting. That's an interesting kind of distinction there as well. Jim Cathcart Because if you're a best selling author, then you're cultivating in you the qualities, the skills, the strategies, the business practices that will constantly sell whatever it is you're selling. If you're selling coffee mugs, it'll still sell well, because you're the kind of person that knows how to do that, and has the work ethic and all the things that are needed to do it. So you'll be a best seller. But your book won't necessarily make you famous. Like mine. I've sold hundreds of thousands of books and recordings. Over the years, I've delivered all those thousands of speeches and received all these big awards. But if you were to ask a person on the street, in a business community or just in the social community Who's Jim Cathcart? They would say, No clue. Because I'm not famous in a public sense. You know, I don't appear in newspapers and magazines and television shows on mainstream media like, like, some people do like a Tony Robbins, for example. But I got a hell of a life going, you know, this has been great. And my colleagues admire and respect me and I love them and and respect them. And, you know, this just ain't a bad deal. Oh, and I did a TED talk. I was asked to do a short TED talk and I did an eight and a half minute TED talk in Delray Beach, Florida TEDx, the independently organized TED event, and it went viral. It I've had 1,700,000 views of my little eight minute TED Talk which netted me zero dollars, much credibility and so many Any referrals that have made, you know, 10s of thousands off of it. And it's just a little eight and a half minute thing called How to believe in yourself, James Taylor you can finally say you become an overnight success now, Jim, definitely 42 years. So let's get some final questions, some quick fire questions. I'd love to know. I want you to imagine you're on a long haul flight, maybe go in nature next flight to China and you can choose on that you're seeing a business class or first class flight and you sit next, any speaker living or dead, you could be sitting next to them for the duration of that flight and they could be sharing with you you could be having a conversation. Who would that speaker be? Jim Cathcart Wow. Ah, another way I've done that with many of my heroes, you know, had long flights sitting seated next to them and just capturing the pearls of wisdom. I would think it has to be Zig Ziglar because he's so much fun. You know, if I wanted to be inspired, I would go with Dr. Kenneth McFarland wonders most people today have never heard up, because he's just so profound and he's so absolutely meticulously skilled at delivering a idea or a message. I knew not to Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and had a chance to work with him a little bit, and he would certainly touch your heart and inspire your mind. augmon Dino was a man. So easy to love and admire. But I think Zig would be the most fun so the flight would go fast. We would have a great time. He would appreciate my stories from the southern United States and I would certainly appreciate his because we both grew up in neighboring states, Arkansas and Mississippi. He was from Mississippi. James Taylor So I want you to tell us what's in that in your speaker bag. What's in that bag that you carry with you to all of your various speaking engagements. You're You're never leave home without Jim Cathcart actually Well, I never leave home without Is my notes to myself, I have a lot of thinking time, you know, I always have I, that's how I started my career. Earl Nightingale said spend one hour extra every day studying your chosen path. Five years from now you'll be a leading authority in that path. And sure enough, that worked for me. And I continue to do that to this day. And so I'll take a blank sheet of paper. And I'll just start thinking of all the projects and all the activities and all the goals and all the primary relationships in my life. And I'll just list them all like crazy. And get them on there, maybe two or three pages worth. And then I'll go back and look over that. And I'll circle the ones that are truly like a killer app in a computer, you know, the ones that or that one drives so many of these others that I really have to achieve that one or nurture that one around. Whatever. And then I'll look at the connections between all of them and do sort of like a big bizarre Mind Map, drawing lines and connectors. And then I'll just keep that paper, I always date every every note page, so that I know when it took place, and I go back many times, 20 3040 times over a few years, and look at that same page and make other notes, and then create a new page that's simpler and more organized, so that I can focus on that things on that new page. And that's just been a great, great practice for me over the years. And I consume magazines, I don't read them. When when I get it, I get several magazines monthly. And when I get the magazines, I immediately meaning that day, sit down with the magazine and start scanning it to see what's of interest to me. And I try to read some of the things that aren't of interest to me just to keep my mind better exposed to new ideas. And then, as soon as I'm done with that magazine, you know, I may tear out one article that I haven't gotten to yet, but I toss the magazine and go on. So my wife has a whole bunch of women's magazines that she'll keep them to go back to the articles and so she's got a stack this tall of her collection. I have a stack this tall of mine. And I get more information than she does. It was about and then talking about reading material. If you were to recommend one book, and one of your own books or a book to our audience, it could be a book on speaking or book on mindset or topics that you speak on. What would that one book be? You mentioned Stephen Covey. You know, his book that he's best known for is the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. And that's an exceptionally good book. We talked about augmon Dino, the greatest salesman in the world or any of his subsequent books, but I would start with the greatest salesman he I asked him one time what's your favorite of all your books? Which one had the biggest impact on your career? He said, Well, you've read all my books. Jim, what would you say? I said, Well, my favorite of all your books is the choice. And no, no, excuse me, my favorite of all your books is the Christ commission, which is a story about a guy that didn't believe what the Bible was saying. And and then he had an experience it was yanked back in time to Biblical days. And he went around and interviewed all the people that knew Jesus. What an amazing concept. Right? So this guy was an investigative reporter, and a non believer and somebody in in you know, the ethers grabbed him and took him back in time and said, Okay, here, talk to Paul talk to Mary Magdalene and talk to this guy. He was at the when the stone was rolled away, you know, talk to this guy, he was healed by him. So I said that was my favorite book, but the one that had the biggest impact on me was your first book, greatest salesman in the world. I said, Sony Now what what's your answer? He said same as yours. He said the one I enjoyed the most was the Christ commission the one I that had the biggest impact on my life was the greatest salesman in the world. James Taylor different books different books and as Jim Cathcart you mentioned having neither one of them requires that you be Christian. Yeah, yeah. But first principle James Taylor was open the road the the was the book about Babylon that the no that was Jim Cathcart a place in George claisen who co wrote a book called The Richest Man in Babylon which was a similar parable to the greatest salesman in the world in that it was set back in biblical times with you know, a guy following the the camels on a merchant train that kind of stuff. Yeah, I'm James Taylor gonna I'm gonna have to go and download the Oakland Deena book now as well just to trap myself. So you talk about Siri earlier. What is is there isn't a particular app or tool or A mobile tool, an app that you find particularly useful for doing the work that you do. Jim Cathcart It comes and goes, You know, I look at the apps that I use from year to year. And it it it's not the same each year. So I don't know, I just rely on the fundamentals, you know, just email and photos and, and Facebook and LinkedIn and things like that, that that's pretty much me. You know, of course, I've got lots of videos on YouTube and, and that sort of thing, but I try not to get lured into becoming an Instagram Rockstar, or making Twitter which you have to feed all the time like a hungry little animal. You know, making that my main. No, James Taylor that is a big difference, obviously, from going back times. The old man, dinos and Zig Ziglar says, Wait, they would be thinking about these ideas all the time, they'd be speaking but then they're there. Waiting output it was either in the form of a speech or maybe a radio series or maybe a book that was there that was there was Jim Cathcart an article or a newspaper article magazine article, that sort of thing. So and there were there were films, but there were actual films, you know, reel to reel movies, and they would film a speech or whatever, and then they would rent it to companies to go and show at their company meetings. James Taylor Okay, okay. So I guess big difference now because I can also see what a lot of speakers it whether it's an a Twitter or Instagram, I can almost see them working on their ideas, as they're doing them and especially on Twitter and slow form, I can see all that that's things linking to that. And then, you know, a few months later, you see them speak up, okay. It makes sense now, because but they're actually they're kind of rehearsing in public or public. Jim Cathcart That That reminds me without Vimeo, And YouTube, I would feel severely handicapped. Because I have so many videos that I've either created or that have been done of something live that I was doing. They are a vital part of what I do now. You know, I've created online courses and video training and such. There's a publisher mentor.com mentor ed.com that publishes one of my series here in the US. And those are just super important podcasts and, and online shows like this. That's that's the cassettes today, you know, those are the records those are the, those are the pamphlets or the books or the magazines of today. And and so you just hop on the train, or plane, you know, and you've got this little guy when I say train, I'm thinking of the bullet trains in China, as opposed to Amtrak going across America cuz people don't do it as much here. But that's that's your whole suite of services right there. James Taylor Love that. Basically I think I think all these tools that we now have at our fingertips new online courses, including memberships and podcasts and video series and an online summit, like like this, this one, for example. And it wouldn't have been possible, unless people yourself and the zig ziglar is an earl Nightingale's had to first push that through. So people today know that they have a problem know that there's something to be worked on where previously the university didn't even know that they had a problem. And yeah, that was the first step is going to say Actually, Jim Cathcart that's the thing today, the big decision is not whether we should train our people. It's which training should we do next? And who should we go to? Jim Cathcart Yeah, is it there is a different level of fees, just just make yourself the best choice and then they'll say Well, yeah, now of course we need it. So let's go with you. So a final quick, James Taylor final question for you, Jim, I want you to imagine that you woke up tomorrow morning. And you have to start from scratch. So no one knows who you are. But you've got all the skills you've acquired over the years, but no one knows who you are, you know, no one you have to completely restart. Perfect. Would you do? How would you restart things? Well, first off, I'd be excited, not depressed. Jim Cathcart I would when we moved from La Jolla, San Diego to Thousand Oaks back in 2001. We didn't know anybody but we moved here so that we wouldn't have Los Angeles between us and our grandkids. And we wanted to be able to make that commute more easily. So we moved up here, and I said to my wife the first day I said, you know what I like about this. The uncertainty. I don't know anybody yet. Yet being the operative word, right. And now I know people all over the community and they know me back. What I would do if I started praying Tomorrow with my skill set, and nobody knew me, and I had no business assets other than what's in my mind and heart is I would immediately start going out and interviewing people about their problems, their challenges their issues. Because I know I would uncover some of those that I could I had a solution for. And then I wouldn't try to sell something, I would look for a way to become their solution and get compensated for it. So that's the thing if you're a problem solver, you'll never be out of work ever. I gave my my grandson who's now 18 business cards when he was 10 years old. And I gave him a box full of business cards. That said, Jason Cathcart problem solver. I'm looking for one right now. I know I've got one here, nearby. Now I haven't found it and I'm not going to do Take up your time with that. But anyway, I gave him a box of business cards. And he said, what's, what are these? That's their business cards. He said, What's a business card? And I explained it. And he said, Well, what's Cathcart Institute? I said, That's grandpa's company. What's a company? And I explained it, and what's jason@cathcart.com? So that's your email address for real. He said, I've got an email address. I said, Yeah. And he said, Well, it says, problem solver. What does that mean? I said, Jason, you're a thoughtful guy. When you look at something, you don't just dive into it and start doing things with it. You kind of observe it and study it. And then you get involved and you seem to be a natural problem solver, and said, The world needs those. And that's how people get paid. If you're a problem solver, you'll always be able to find work. He's super cool. And I said we'll have a nice birthday and then I went on my way this was at his screen. In the morning on his 10th birthday, and his mother's a teacher at that school. And so I called later that night and I said, Sonia, what happened after I left? She said, Oh my gosh, every kid in the schools got one of Jason's business cards. What do you think Whitney James think about this 10 year old kid gets a box of business cards for his birthday has no clue what that is. But it's a novelty and it's got his name on it. So he starts showing it to the other kids. every other kid says, What's a business card? He explains it. What's Cathcart Institute? He explains it. What's Jason at Cafe? He explains it. What's problem solver? He must have explained that 30 or 40 times that day. Now, how deep is that impression in his mind? At age 10, which happens to be one of the strongest imprint periods of your entire life. Yeah. Yeah, James Taylor that's it as an amazing, amazing story. Well, Jim, thank you so much for coming on today. If people want to learn more about you learn more about Cathcart, cute and all the other things you've got going on just now where's the best place to go and do that? Jim Cathcart I would say, Cathcart comm is the easiest start because it's just my name. And if you type in Jim Cathcart comm, it'll get you there too. But I own the domain for family name. And LinkedIn is another good one. Because on LinkedIn, I have a very robust profile. And it has videos that they can watch for free, and all kinds of other items in it like that.

This week I am talking to Barry Eaton about his book 'Past Lives Unveiled, Discover How Consciousness Moves Between Lives'. What are soul groups? What is the reality of the spirit world? What lies at the mysterious realm of life between lives? Do our past lives really catch up with us in the present?Past Lives Unveiled takes a fresh, new look at past lives and reincarnation. It features some highly unusual case studies, including two intriguing hypnotic regressions by eminent psychologist, author and past life expert Dr Michael Newton. Two sisters were regressed independently by Dr Newton and went back to life in a Stone Age tribe, details of which have until now been limited to members of the Newton Institute. Barry has wide international experience in all areas of the media and entertainment industries. He is a highly experienced radio and TV presenter, having spent many years with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and various commercial radio and TV stations. His profile embraces news and sports anchoring, lifestyle shows, current affairs, talk back radio and in what feels like an earlier incarnation, was even a DJ. His first book ‘Afterlife – Uncovering the Secrets of Life After Death', tracing the journey of the spirit in between incarnations, was published in 2011. “No Goodbyes” is the follow-on from Afterlife and was released in 2015. His third book, “The Joy of Living, Postponing the Afterlife” was co-written with his partner Anne Morjanoff and tells how he healed from cancer by combining holistic and mainstream medical practices. Barry is a qualified astrologer, psychic and medium and in 2012 did what he terms a postgraduate course in mediumship at the world famous Arthur Findlay College in the UK. In 2012 he was given the 2012 Hall of Fame Award by the Australian Psychics Association and made a life member. Barry is also well known in the US through a series of radio and TV interviews, including three major appearances on the iconic “Coast to Coast” program and of course RadioOutThere. His third book, which he wrote with his partner Anne Morjanoff, was released in April 2017. The Joy of Living – Postponing the Afterlife tells of his battle with cancer and how he survived the ordeal with a combination of various holistic practices and therapies along with mainstream medicine. Anne provides the other half of the story, proving how the love and support of a partner is so vital to the whole experience. https://www.amazon.com/Past-Lives-Unveiled-Discover-consciousness-ebook/dp/B07S2ZKC1W/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=barry+eaton&qid=1564237820&s=gateway&sr=8-2
