Podcasts about high value

In this episode, I break down what makes a man low value and why this is a warning, not an insult. There are more ways to fail than to succeed, and most men end up low value simply by drifting and not being intentional. This isn't about money, looks, or followers—it's about your energy, discipline, and standards. Low value men chase, overexplain, and move without direction, often without even realizing it. I'm laying this out so you can check yourself, build awareness, and make sure you don't slide into habits that hold you back. Show Notes: [07:27]#1 Seeking validation instead of giving direction. [13:06]#2 Low value men do not enforce boundaries on themselves nor on others.  [22:17]#3 Low value Men spend their energy explaining why they are not winning.

You'll learn the four value positions that drive every interaction, the emotional traps that pull you into defending or proving yourself, and a simple three-step system to keep your composure under pressure.

John and Kurt continue their conversation. In this episode, they discuss how strong relationships help in both business and family life, why it's important for entrepreneurs to be good on camera, the value of personal branding, and how Kurt's company uses data to help businesses and political campaigns. In Part 1, they talked about Kurt's journey into political campaigns, how he built a successful fundraising company, and Liberty Spenders. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Recap of Part 1 [01:22] - Advice to entrepreneurs about being camera-ready [04:00] - "You are the brand" [04:54] - Does Kurt still help political fundraising? [05:45] - Kurt's ideal client [07:07] - How Mustard Seed uses data to target the right audience [09:14] - Statistics about political donors [10:43] - How much does it cost to run for President? [13:42] - Campaign finance rules and how Super PACs work [16:21] - How working with his wife has helped his family and business [21:24] - Kurt's definition of success [24:24] - #1 daily habit [24:54] - Traits of a great leader [26:12] - How Kurt invests in himself [28:15] - Creating memories with family [30:26] - How Kurt improves his marriage [31:23] - Best way to connect with Kurt [32:53] - Wrap-up NOTABLE QUOTES: "If you (entrepreneurs) don't have a lot of experience behind the camera, you need to work on that. It is a skill set. Don't just assume that because you're passionate about your thing, you're going to be good on camera, because I can promise you it's going to blow up in your face spectacularly." "Remember, you are the brand. You may have a company, you may have multiple companies, the companies fit under you as the brand. So if there ever comes a time where you remove yourself from the company, you sell the company, it's still you as the brand. Because if all you're focused on is that particular company and that becomes your branding, then if you sell it or leave it, it's like, 'Well, what do I do now?' You still have your branding when it's you." "If your problems are operational or you don't really know what you're selling yet, it's a little hard to pump in and build out a good marketing and brand strategy, because we're still not sure what we're marketing." "My wife and I are partners in the business, and I've always believed that's one of the reasons our marriage has been healthy. If one of us was building it and working all those extra hours while the other stayed at home feeling lonely and neglected … we'd have been in trouble. But we were always working on it together." "We started with a commitment that we took our vows seriously, that this was 'till death do us part.'" "I've got to do some stuff I don't want to do, because I don't want the consequence of a really ugly, unhappy marriage that I'm stuck in for 30 years."

In this episode, Kelly sits down with Brittany Anderson to explore accountability and high-performance strategies for women. Discover how to build unstoppable momentum, break through your limits, set fierce boundaries, prioritize movement for the body, and connect with the women who lift you higher. It's all about rising above the noise and showing up fully for yourself, your goals, and your dreams. [2:11] Building Momentum for Women "My coaching practice morphed into accountability and high performance coaching for women. I love working with women, supporting women, and MOMentum Collective came out of the need for." [11:05] New Circles "When you realize you can find what you're looking for, you just have to get out of your comfort zone to go find it. [18:14] Movement is Non-negotiable "I also feel that movement shouldn't be the only time in the day for you, because moving your body is a requirement, like it's a health requirement." [25:59] Commonality is Boundaries "Being able to have communication around what you want, what you need, and also boundaries around saying yes or no, because every time we choose one of those words, we're choosing something else." [34:00] Check In With Yourself "Everyone needs their own therapist-like support. You need to check in- even if you don't feel like it, you're gonna go do this every so often." [38:22] Powered by Women "I'm fueled by the women that I get to talk to every week and the relationships that we have. " [43:24] Rise Above the Noise "I think, if you know why you're doing something in the first place, then those comments should hopefully run off your back a little bit less."

Where is real life-changing, world-changing, spirit-filled work happening? … It is happening among entrepreneurs." "If we just got the right politicians elected, the world would be a better place." "It's so much better to be something to somebody, to have 10,000 raving fans, than to be everything to nobody." "This is happening whether you like it or not. People are researching you when they're choosing a product to buy." "In this market right now, differentiation is such a big challenge. If you invent a product and you put it up on Amazon, you're selling great. It won't be more than 30–60 days before somebody, some business, knocks off your product and they're selling it on the same platform.

In this class, I talk about the green flags women should look for in men. These are the traits that show a man has discipline, a solid foundation, and the kind of presence you can trust and respect. A lot of people get distracted by looks, status, or money, but the real green flags go much deeper. Once the surface boxes are checked, take your time and actually get to know the man, the same way you'd want someone to get to know you. Show Notes: [02:32]#1 Emotional stability.

On this solo episode:Stacey argues that “high-value sales” aren't about high prices or fancy offers—they're about the quality of leadership inside the conversation. Great sales outcomes come from neutrality (not neediness), radical responsibility for the interaction, and holding non-negotiable standards. Key Takeaways:-Selling is about alignment.-The price never decides the value..-Explaining creates spectators.Tweetable Quotes:"High value is not your price tag. It's not how fancy your offer is or how hyped you sound on the call… High value is about the quality of the experience and the impact of the conversation." -Stacey O'Byrne"Only version number three of you produces a high value conversation because reality is people don't buy your offer. They buy the identity they believe they'll become by saying yes." -Stacey O'Byrne"Sales isn't about getting people to say yes. It's about having the kind of conversations that help them finally choose the life, the business, and the results that they actually want." -Stacey O'ByrneResources: Instagram: @pivotpointadvantageFree Strategy Session: text Success to 646.495.9867Schedule a 15-minute call with Stacey: http://pivotpointadvantage.com/talktostaceyIf you're ready to take yourself and your business to the next level and are interested in a coaching program that will get you there check out: http://pivotpointadvantage.com/iwantsuccess Join an interactive environment to help you build the success you've always wanted with other like-minded, success-driven entrepreneurs, business owners, and sales professionals: https://facebook.com/groups/sellwithoutselling

L'INVITÉ

I've made a lot of episodes for men about how to be high value, but today I'm giving women a clear look at the traits that should make you step back. In this class, I'm talking to the ladies about the red flags you need to watch for in men. Some of you have already seen these signs and just want confirmation, and some of you want to avoid the same mistakes next time. I'm breaking it all down from a male perspective so you know what to stay away from. And fellas, listen in too—because even if I'm not talking to you, I'm definitely talking about you.

This OG of directly contracted high-value networks or Centers of Excellence networks came up, name dropped and everything in the episode with Elizabeth Mitchell from PBGH, the Purchaser Business Group on Health, from two weeks ago. That was episode 491. So, welcome to this deep cut episode with Olivia Ross from way back, pre-pandemic times. This episode of Relentless Health Value revisits the concept of directly contracted high value networks or Centers of Excellence (ECEN) with Olivia Ross. The discussion explores the impact and potential of the ECEN network, emphasizing the importance of quality, price transparency, and multidisciplinary approaches in healthcare.  Olivia delves into the reasons why ECEN was significant in past PBGH projects and its current relevance, despite its eventual dismantling due to corporate changes. The episode highlights the benefits for employers in creating their own high-value networks and the positive outcomes from fewer unnecessary surgeries and better quality care. Additionally, it covers the rigorous process of selecting Centers of Excellence and how continuous quality improvement efforts benefit both employers and healthcare providers. === LINKS ===

Born from a wine import business and shaped by deep relationships with multi‑generational wineries, Joy of Wine Journeys built a premium, multi‑day model with a ~75% repeat rate. Natalie shares why they skip big cities, how “depth over density” creates value, and how pricing, partnerships, feedback, and tight ops compound into growth.Top 10 takeaways1) Repeat guests keep coming back. About 75% rebook, often bringing friends and family. Nail the first trip and lifetime value follows.2) Win the in between. Don't try to run Paris or Venice. Guests fly into a gateway, then the tour connects the regions in between where long winery relationships unlock access and stories.3) Fewer stops, deeper moments. Five wineries in ten days. Hosted visits. Family meals. Time to linger. People remember conversations and rituals, not mileage.4) Price for the value you deliver. Raise prices as the experience improves. Let booking behavior and guest comments set the ceiling, not nerves.5) Partners make you resilient. When a bus failed, local partners mobilized vans, cold water, and support within the hour. Good relationships turn problems into loyalty moments.6) Feedback is the roadmap. Debrief during and after each tour, then keep, change, or cut. Trim bloat, smooth pacing, and upgrade hotels, meals, wines, and transport.7) Know who you serve. Average age ~63. Well traveled. Hungry for hosted, exclusive experiences without snobbery. Design pacing, teaching, and access for that person.8) Confirm, confirm, confirm. Book a year out, then reconfirm at six months, three months, one month, and day‑of. Fewer surprises. Smoother days.9) Help in the cities even if you don't operate there. Refer guests to vetted guides in Venice, Milan, Paris, Nice, and Florence so the whole trip feels looked after.10) Use tech to support margins, not as the magic. TravelJoy for CRM, WeTravel for euro payments, Travelfy for itineraries, QuickBooks for the back office. The differentiator is still access, hosting, and relationships.

This conversation with Giuliano Gonzalez was one of the most raw, practical, and eye-opening episodes I've recorded. Giuliano didn't just talk about success, he broke down the mindset, discipline, and integrity that turned him from a complete beginner into one of the most connected men in Dubai.What struck me most wasn't the strategies, but the standard he holds himself to. His entire life changed when he stopped breaking his own word, stopped chasing validation, and started becoming the man he respected. We went deep into money, masculinity, networking, building high-status circles from nothing, and why most men stay stuck at the same level for years.Giuliano shared truths that most people avoid, the difference between pleasure and presence, why integrity is a superpower, the real reason men feel weak, and how to build confidence that doesn't depend on other people.This episode isn't just advice. It's a blueprint for becoming someone powerful, grounded, and respected in business, relationships, and life.I walked away with a new perspective, and I think you will too.Connect with Giuliano Gonzalez:Instagram: @NetworkingWizardComment below your biggest takeaway!And remember to book an absolutely FREE 30 minute, no strings attached call with me to get personal feedback & live coaching from me on how to turn 3 years of growth into 6 months of deep focus: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/discoverywithbrett ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out my website that explains the processes I've taken 200+ men through:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://brettbailey.vercel.app/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To start a private conversation, you can find me: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@brettbaailey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@brettbaailey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@brettbaailey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Telegram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@brettbailey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠And until next time brother, live a life that's true to YOU!The music used in this video is authorized under the Mixkit Stock Music Free License.

Most teams move fast, thinking more speed means more sales. But in the rush, they lose the big deals: the ones that actually grow the business.In this episode of Founder Talk, I sit down with Howard Fisher, founder of Hantarra, to talk about why the best sales strategy isn't about more calls, more pressure, or more speed. Rather it's about slowing down. Howard shares how founders can rethink growth by focusing on process, patience, and profit instead of constant hustle.We dive into the dangers of rushing deals, the real reason most companies don't understand sales, and how slowing down can actually accelerate your results. From aligning marketing, sales, and operations into one “business development ecosystem,” to using AI the right way, Howard breaks down what it takes to build a sales culture that lasts.You'll learn: ✅ Why “slowing down to speed up” is the key to sustainable sales ✅ The biggest mistake founders make when scaling their teams ✅ How to fix broken sales processes that kill profit ✅ Why most business owners misunderstand sales ✅ How to build a growth system that actually worksIf you've been searching “how to scale sales,” “why my sales team isn't closing,” or “how to fix broken sales systems,” this episode will shift the way you think about growth.Connect with Howard FisherGuest LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/howardfisherchicagoGuest Website: https://salesxceleration.bullseyelocations.com/salesxceleration/advisors/howard-fisher/33796644If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

Hear about travel to Bhutan as the Amateur Traveler talks to Dorji Dhratyul, the former head of Tourism for the Kingdom of Bhutan. This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Check out Smart Travel ⁠⁠⁠here. Why should you go to Bhutan? Doji says, "I think when you're talking about globally in terms of tourism, we are talking about over-tourism. The tourism destinations are getting crowded, but as of now, Bhutan is still a very pristine, quiet, and silent place. Bhutan is that place where a visitor comes here, not just on a journey, but basically they come here as an inward journey." Bhutan is one of the few countries in the world that measures its success not by GDP but by Gross National Happiness. The small Himalayan kingdom regulates visitor numbers intentionally, following its “High Value, Low Volume” tourism policy. That means fewer crowds, pristine landscapes, and a deeply authentic experience. Dorji recommends beginning with the western region, home to the country's only international airport and some of its most iconic sites. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-bhutan-2/ Learn more about your ad choices.

By converting animal byproducts into safe, usable proteins, fats, and oils, rendering prevents waste, lowers emissions, and reduces pressure on landfills and raw material demand, effectively closing the loop between food, feed, and fuel.Nutritionally, rendered proteins deliver high digestibility, amino acid balance, and energy density compared to many alternative proteins, supporting both performance and sustainability in feed formulations.The conversation also dives into biosecurity, emphasizing that effective rendering operations maintain strict pathogen control from collection through processing and transport, using validated thermal treatment, antimicrobial interventions, and hygienic handling to ensure safety and consistency.Finally, the episode highlights emerging innovations in rendering technology, from automation and real-time monitoring to improved energy recovery systems and cleaner chemistry, all aimed at increasing efficiency, value, and product safety while strengthening rendering's role in a sustainable global food chain.

If you are ready to stop performing and start becoming, explore The Self-Image Method, my signature process to upgrade how you see yourself and step into the highest expression of who you are: https://schoolofselfimage.com/pod-sim Most advice about becoming a high-value woman is surface-level: wear this, say that, wait three days to text back. But true high-value energy is not about tactics or performing to get the man, the job, or the money. It is a state of being. It is how you carry yourself, how you see yourself, and how you show up when no one is watching. In this episode, we redefine what it really means to be a high-value woman and how to embody that energy from the inside out. You will learn the three layers of value (intrinsic, perceived, and lived), how to shift your mindset, build self-trust, raise your standards, and create habits that reflect your worth without chasing approval or validation. Here's what we cover: • The true meaning of value and why most women misunderstand it • The difference between appearing high value and being high value • How to strengthen your intrinsic, perceived, and lived value • The daily habits that build confidence, self-respect, and self-trust • How to master your emotions and create powerful personal boundaries • Ways to celebrate yourself and invest in your own growth   Did you enjoy this episode?

Everyone talks about feminine energy — but few truly understand what draws a powerful man toward a powerful woman. You've heard that men want softness, that women should “stay in their feminine,” that polarity is the key to love. But what if that's not the whole truth? In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the deeper dynamics between masculine and feminine energy — the ones most people get wrong — and reveal what truly separates a woman who keeps attracting boys from one who inspires devotion in men. It's not what you think. And by the end, you'll understand why the women who seem effortlessly magnetic aren't playing a role… they're embodying something most people never master.

In this solo episode, we dive into the controversial concept of 'high value' men and women. We critique the term popularised by Kevin Samuels and its perpetuation by the red pill community. The episode argues against using subjective and superficial measures to determine someone's worth, emphasising instead the importance of core values, character, and emotional intelligence in choosing life partners. Marcia also shares personal anecdotes and stresses the inherent value of all individuals, encouraging listeners to trust their intuition over online trends in dating. 00:41 Personal Update and Podcast Return 01:11 Exploring the Concept of High Value 03:18 Critique of High Value Standards 05:22 Subjectivity of Value in Relationships 08:51 Aligning Values in Relationships 12:37 Trusting Intuition and Emotional Intelligence IG: @marciacolosi | TikTok: @marciacolosi LI: @marciacolosi | FB: @marciamiatke  Ready to take your life and relationships to the next level?

From the moment a man meets you, he is reading your energy. Often within minutes, he knows whether you're partner energy or pleasure energy… and what he senses has nothing to do with your looks or achievements. In this episode, we explore the real reason men stop seeing a woman as “high value” — even when she is. You'll learn how a man's subconscious conditioning shapes the way he engages, why he'll entertain a connection for pleasure long past its expiration date, and how your refusal to self-betray instantly changes how he sees you. This isn't about playing games or being perfect — it's about energetic truth. Because being desired is easy. Being chosen… is something else entirely.

On this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley sits down with Calgary family law attorney Lonny Balbi to explore how he shifted his consultations from free to paid, and why that change became a game-changer for his practice. Lonny's innovative Balbi Marital Assessment package breaks away from the traditional free consultation model. Instead of giving away time, he designed a structured, paid service that delivers real value to clients and positions his firm as a leader in a crowded market. The result? Clients feel cared for, lawyers reclaim their worth, and the process sets the tone for long-term relationships. Moving from free to paid wasn't just about billing; it was about mindset. Lonny and Steve unpack how value-based billing transforms the lawyer-client relationship. By prioritizing transparency and focusing on impact over time, attorneys can build stronger connections, reduce stress, and elevate client satisfaction. This episode also goes into the practical side of packaging services. From creating clear client expectations to handling emotional family law cases, Lonny shares how structured offerings can guide clients through their hardest moments. He explains how AI and innovation support lawyers in delivering personalized services without losing the human touch that matters most. Lonny's journey proves that rethinking consultations is more than a financial decision, it's a leadership decision. By shifting to this method, lawyers not only strengthen their firms but also create practices that serve both their clients and themselves better. In this episode, you will hear: Lonny Balbi's innovative approach to legal consultations with the Balbi Marital Assessment package Transition from traditional free consultations to a structured, paid service model Value-based billing over hourly billing to enhance client satisfaction Strategies for client selection and engagement using a structured matrix Importance of personalized, packaged services in family law to improve client experiences Overcoming resistance to adopting new billing models and legal processes Enhancing legal practice through client-centered services and clear value propositions Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

Why do some people command instant respect without saying a word? In this episode, AJ and Johnny reveal the four high value signals that separate quiet authority from desperate posturing. Respect isn't about aggression, volume, or proving you belong—it's about presence. With research from Harvard and Frame Strength studies, they unpack how calmness, cooperation, congruent body language, and responsibility change the way people see you in any room. You'll learn why calm authority beats dominance, why spotlighting others actually raises your own status, and how subtle shifts in posture and eye contact project confidence before you speak. Through client stories and science-backed insights, AJ and Johnny show how these hidden behaviors flip the script—turning you from overlooked to magnetic.
