BLOG TITLE: Stars of Akarios with Brendan McCaskell   In this episode, host Nalin talks with Brendan McCaskell about the marketing process for Stars of Akarios. What did they do to build their email list? Where did they promote their game idea before running ads? They discuss the importance of creating a community environment that’s comfortable for everyone and where you can get feedback from your audience.   We discuss:   [2:03]: How Brendan went from launching a couple of games through crowdfunding to being a game designer full time.  [4:10]: The way the marketing process can be affected when you have to change the game’s name, and how you can include the community to come up with the new name.  [5:30]: Brendan started writing about the game idea on a gamer’s blog before really pumping the paid marketing and social media as a pre-launch strategy.  [12:50]: The best investment for Facebook paid ads is not for people to like your page, but for them to sign up for your newsletter. In the end, they got a cost per email collected of around $1. The most important thing is to have great engaging ad content that hypes up people about the game. [18:22]:  The importance of having a great landing page with all of the information and a clear call to action for the visitors. [20:49]: Not only relying on ads but actually taking the time to create a good community atmosphere on the live campaign so everyone feels comfortable and heard.  [23:55]: How they chose a marketing agency to work with. [25:29]: Their marketing strategy after the live campaign while keeping their pledges open. [28:31]: Getting a lot of traction on day 1 will always be a great marketing push for the rest of the live campaign. Paid ads won’t do anything for your campaign if you’re not connecting and resonating with your audience.

My guest is Brendan Synnott. Brendan co-founded the organic food brand Bear Naked Granola. He wound up selling the brand to Kellogg for $80 Million. Although it was a big win… there was a LOT of ups and downs and Brendan is very open about the fact that he battled depression after the sale.  But he got help and started to live life in a new way. In the years since the sale, he's launched 5 other brands… oh… and he was also on Survivor! Now he's taking on the $3 trillion apparel industry (the world's second-largest polluter) as CEO of the organic, fair-trade cotton apparel company called Pact Organic.  During our interview, we talk about what it takes to get clear and go after a goal, what happens when the goal changes things (BIG TIME) and how to create a new mindset and set new goals too! I think you're going to love this real and raw conversation!     Listen To The Podcast:     Brendan Synnott RESOURCES:   To find out more about Pact visit: www.WearPact.com. While you're there… enter promo code:  DREAMTHINKDO Brendan is giving the DTD family 40% off for a limited time!!!   DETAILS: My guest this week is Brendan Synnott … who is a true renaissance man.   He was raised by a single mom and grew up in Connecticut.  Brendan went to college in Nashville and graduated from Vanderbilt. One of his first jobs out of school was as a production assistant on Saturday Night Live!  So his day job was to be a handler of celebrities as they'd come to do the show. While he was home for the summer (since SNL takes the summers off), he ran into a friend who was making organic granola cereal and selling it at farmer's markets.  Since he'd always been entrepreneurial, he asked if he could help. So they launched Bear Naked - organic granola.   They started to get their product on local grocery store shelves and it started to grow from there.  They had to fight through a number of peaks and valleys but they eventually sold to Kelloggs for $80 million.  That's right… $80 million. During our conversation, you'll hear that although it was a huge win… Brendan got hit by significant depression after the sale.  He attributes that to a number of factors. The wild ride. The fact that many of his friends worked for the company, so it was tough to let it go.  Plus, a lot of his identity was wrapped up in the brand, so it was tough when it was no longer part of his life. But afterward, he spent time figuring out life.     He went on Survivor.   He also met his wife… and they started their family.   Oh… and he also got clear on the type of companies he liked to start and be involved with.  For example, he realized he LOVES to disrupt industries by bringing products that allow for more transparency, more connection to the customer, and products that are better for the environment. For example, he launched PACT ORGANIC which is an organic, fair-trade cotton apparel company where he's also the CEO. Obviously, this dude has packed a lot in and made life an amazing journey… and we're going to talk about how he's pushed through fear to do just that!

What's the difference between skippering a yacht around the world and leading a multinational organisation? Well, according to Brendan Hall, inspirational speaker, leadership author and at only 27, the winning skipper of the world's most demanding sailing event – The Clipper Round the World Race, not a huge amount. You see Brendan has taken his experiences skippering the winning yacht and applied them to the world of business. Because when you're in the middle of the ocean and your crew has a mutiny early on, there's not a whole lot you can do. You can either give up and lose the race, or take their feedback on board, abruptly change your leadership style and make damn sure everyone has the time of their lives in the process - and win. And that's just what Brendan did. “Good leadership in any industry kind of looks the same. So, the experience I had, and the lessons that I can give my clients I find very applicable and certainly relevant to their own experience leading a startup or more established business or some strata of management in a in a global organisation.” On today's podcast: How Brendan got to the start line of the clipper yacht race Overcoming imposter syndrome Creating a culture of teamwork and inspiring an ethos to win Why his team had a mutiny and how he dealt with it Why a leader needs to empower their team, not own it The importance of creating processes early on to ensure smooth operations Links: (Book) Team Spirit - Brendan Hall https://www.clipperroundtheworld.com/

Alt Photography is a contemporary wedding photography company comprised of Max Vidricaire and Brendan Wu. They have also grown the companies Instagram account to over 10.8 thousand Instagram followers. However, an interesting strategy they employed (up until very recently) was to not post pictures of weddings on their account. This may seem like an odd strategy but it worked for them as they have grown their account and landed clients because of it. In this episode we'll get into how they grow their account, how they land clients for their business, collaborating with companies like Google and Spotify and so much more. And to let you in on a little secret, Max and Brendan have invited me to be a guest on their podcast, The Creative Hustle so you should definitely listen to it to get to know the guys before I jump on their show.

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Brendan Sullivan joins me to discuss worker’s compensation advocacy. Brendan Sullivan, PT, DPT, OCS, MSCS, CSCS began practicing physical therapy in 1997 after graduating from Utica College of Syracuse University. Dr. Sullivan is an ABPTS Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA). He is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) & is active in both the Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) NY Advisory Committee & New York Physical Therapy Association (NYPTA) Public Policy Committee. In this episode, we discuss: -How Brendan became involved in advocacy -Principles of advocacy: determine the issue, desired outcome, stakeholders, authority and public policy committee -What is worker’s compensation? -Changes in the worker’s compensation medical fee schedule -And so much more!   Communicating with policymakers is an art and Brendan recommends, “You want everything to be comfortable and form a nice rapport but you have to get down to business.”   With advocacy efforts, there has been an incremental change in the fee schedule, “On average, all regions, there’s going to be a 25% increase to the fees that are paid for PT and OT.”   While improvements in the fee schedule have been made, Brenden warns, “We don’t want to see the potential benefit negated that would come from a fee schedule increase.”   Physical therapy is a feasible alternative to other treatments for pain management and the data shows, “Opioids still represent the highest drug spent within the worker’s comp system.”   For more information on Brendan: Brendan Sullivan, PT, DPT, OCS, MSCS, CSCS began practicing physical therapy in 1997 after graduating from Utica College of Syracuse University. Dr. Sullivan is an ABPTS Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA). He is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) & is active in both the Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) NY Advisory Committee & New York Physical Therapy Association (NYPTA) Public Policy Committee. Dr. Sullivan opened a small personal training & wellness center in February 2001. After 2 short years, the business expanded into a more expansive gym where clients and local residents could utilize the facility during the week. His desire was to offer the public a comfortable facility where anyone could work with physical therapists in a setting where they could receive therapeutic services or the consultation of highly skilled fitness professionals. This blend of physical therapy & fitness services continues to be the driving force in the businesses success. As the public becomes more educated on the benefits of exercise & health maintenance becomes more self-directed the skills offered by physical therapists are self-evident. The centers' mission is to help individuals achieve and maintain their optimal fitness & functional level in the community and with recreational sports or activities. In 2016, he was named the Arthritis Foundation's Medical Honoree for their upstate NY Walk to Cure Arthritis. More recently, Dr. Sullivan became a Multiple Sclerosis Certified Specialist (MSCS) and graduated from Evidence in Motion Institute of Health Professions with his clinical doctorate.   Resources discussed on this show: Brendan Sullivan LinkedIn Brendan Sullivan Website Brendan Sullivan Twitter New York Physical Therapy Association Worker's Compensation Institute   Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!

Brendan Leonard - Grinding It Out

Brendan Leonard is a writer and creative whose stories about adventure in wild places have built him a loyal following in the outdoor world and beyond. Whether it’s writing for his blog Semi-Rad, authoring eight books, or making films such as his recent “How to Run 100 Miles,” Brendan combines humor, introspection, and skilled storytelling in an authentic way that strikes a chord with a wide range of audiences. But as you’ll hear, Brendan’s secret ingredient to success in his creative pursuits is his ability to consistently focus in and grind out the hard work, week after week, year after year. • Brendan is an Iowa native who moved West to attend journalism school at the University of Montana. After struggling with alcohol addiction in his youth, the West’s wide-open spaces brought Brendan a much-needed change of scenery and the opportunity for a fresh start. What began as short hikes around Missoula transformed into an all-in obsession with rock climbing that eventually led to writing gigs with Outside, Men’s Journal, Alpinist, and other well-known publications. Brendan is a shining example of how persistence, hard work, and a willingness to bet on yourself can lead to a fulfilling life and career doing what you love. • We had a wide-ranging, fun, and hilarious conversation about his life and career, and we also managed to wander into a few completely unexpected topics. We chatted about Brendan’s “all-or-nothing” personality, and the challenges and rewards associated with being wired that way. We discussed his ability to focus on the process rather than the goal, and how that approach is beneficial when creating or pursuing an outdoor objective. We obviously talked about climbing, but also discussed ultramarathons, specifically his recent experience running a 103-mile race through the Colorado mountains. And as you’ve come to expect, we covered favorite books, films, and a long list of other interesting topics. • This interview was so much fun, and I really appreciate Brendan having me over to chat. I highly recommend his books "60 Meters to Anywhere" and "Make It Till You Make It", so be sure to check those out.. Also, watch his film “How To Run 100 Miles”-- I’ve watched a ton of ultrarunning films, and this one is my favorite. Check the episode notes for links to all of this and more.

Brendan is a coach and online instructor who has organically grown his Instagram accounts over 100,000 followers.  Brendan loves lifestyle design and wants people to follow their passion and find a way to monetize that. I originally connected with Brendan on Instagram and after we chatted, I knew I needed to have him on the podcast. Brendan is currently based in New York but grew up in Long Island. He went to Cornell University in Ithaca, where he got his undergraduate, law, and dual MBA degrees. He worked for a couple of years in the Wall Street, until one day, he finally decided to pursue his passion, that is, travelling and entrepreneurship. In this episode, Brendan shares the story on how he got into Instagram and how he became an influencer. He explains how Instagram works and how it will work for anyone who wants to earn from it. He is currently focusing on his business and self-development tools and strategies that help people achieve their highest potentials. Before this Interview, I personally took Brendan's Instagram training course, and it helped me save tons of time while continuing to grow my account. Even though I already knew about some things like posting times and commenting, I learned about automation, direct messaging, and some of the technical detail for how to actually make money from someone that follows you on Instagram. It's also super affordable compared to other Instagram courses I have seen out there.
