After graduating with a degree in interpersonal communication, Brett Hill ended up becoming a technology expert, before bringing the two strands of technology and communication together to create a distinguished and successful career as a technical speaker and storyteller.  Alongside that career, Brett has spent many years studying and practicing mindfulness in many forms.  He studied Hakomi, a mindfulness-based somatic psychology with founder Ron Kurtz and he also trained as a facilitator in Matrix Leadership group dynamics with founder Amina Knowlan, before  establishing the Quest institute meditation center in Dallas. He credits much of his professional success in the corporate world to the skills and tools he picked up from the mindfulness world he also moved in. Eventually, the desire to share the many benefits of mindfulness with others, so that they could live a richer and more powerful life of intention and connection, led to the work he does today. I'm excited for you to discover some of those benefits from this interview. What you'll learn: How Brett stumbled from a degree in interpersonal skills to becoming a technology expert.  What a technical evangelist is. The broken heart that led Brett to find his future. Why we need to pay attention to the physical sensations we experience ‘in the moment'. How we can diffuse potentially explosive situations and influence conversations by harnessing the power of mindfulness. The problem that Brett's work helps people solve.  What it looks like and sounds like to others when someone is being truly present with them. How mindfulness can help you avoid confirmation bias and create new possibilities. The correlation between using language intentionally and mindfulness. The trap that many speakers fall into in relation to their audience. How to practice mindfulness in your day to day experiences.

I just had this excellent interview with Brett Johnson, a keynote speaker, and consultant on cybersecurity, Cybercrime, and identity theft. His knowledge of these topics is unique because it didn't come from any book or in any classroom. Brett's experience is from the criminal side of things. At one point, the United States' Most Wanted criminal, he was given the moniker of The Original Internet Godfather by the United States Secret Service. Brett was responsible for defining modern financial Cybercrime as we know it today. He created the precursor to today's Darknet markets called ShadowCrew. In the early 2000s, through ShadowCrew, He assembled a watering hole for cybercriminals to network, share information, gang up, and execute attacks on entities worldwide. He lived a life of crime for decades. Credit card fraud, identity fraud, tax fraud, social engineering attacks- you name it; Brett Johnson did it. His criminal lifestyle eventually caught up to him as he was captured and convicted of 39 felonies, sent to prison multiple times, escaping once, before accepting responsibility and finding redemption through his loved ones and the help of the FBI. Today, Brett works as a security consultant and public speaker. He is one of the world's foremost authorities on Cybercrime and identity theft. Brett uses the vast amount of knowledge he has to help individuals and companies protect themselves from the type of person he used to be. Listen as Brett and I dive deep into how cybercriminals operate, what drives them, and the most common security threats. In my conversation with Brett today, we discuss his strategy for laying out the foundation for modern cybercriminal channels. ShadowCrew sets the standard for the way modern cybercrime channels still operate today. Brett identifies the three websites, ShadowCrew, Counterfeit Library, and CarderPlanet, known to be the main cybercriminal channels. Brett also goes into detail on the question of how easy it is to commit fraud. He tells a story of the Nigerians committing fraud by stealing a billion dollars in unemployment. Brett speaks about how to protect yourself from a scam elaborating on a personal story that involved a woman being scammed by him through eBay. Finally, Brett talks about using his first-hand knowledge of Cybercrime for good as well as speaking to his superpower that he can see that helps in engagement with customers. That is my introduction to Brett, The Original Internet Godfather, and I want to welcome you to our exciting conversation. Here are some of things that you will learn in this podcast episode: The origins of ShadowCrew and how that led to today's Darknet markets. How cybercriminals execute crimes and what they need in order to carry them out. Global law enforcement is stepping their game up to track illicit activities using cryptocurrency. The origins of Brett's life of crime. The methods internet scammers use to take advantage of people online. Criminals most often get caught when they raise unnecessary red flags. How Brett was able to bounce back after hitting rock bottom in life. Without social engineering, cybercrime ultimately fails. Medical records are being used as the primary source of information for cybercriminals. Why storytelling is important in getting employees to retain information presented to them in cybersecurity awareness training.

Does your work have purpose? Brett spent much of his early life doing things that had a superficial purpose, such as going into banking to impress his girlfriend’s parents. He spent the next 11 years in the corporate world not feeling inspired, and not really knowing that he could feel inspired, having never seen that modeled to him as a child. At Kaufman Development, their mission is to build high design communities around impact, creative expression, and wellbeing—doing our part to change the world. Not only would his company fulfill his passion, it would create communities that made it easier for others to connect to their passion. Gravity is the evolution of all of that. There are elements of Brett’s childhood—walking into the art room for the first time, discovering the smoker’s pit—that have informed the way it was built. It’s a residential space, an office space, and a co-living building where they will tackle affordability and community; it’s the experiential aspect of real estate pushed to tenfold. It’s hard work to face your fears, to be courageous, and do something that’s inside of you. If it wasn’t, more people would do it. It’s the few who do that make it possible to ignore how much it costs to go after it. Seeing people’s lives change as a result of the work you put in makes everything worth it. What Brett asks: [00:00] Kaufman Development’s purpose [03:30] The role of meditation in the business world [06:12] What Brett’s working to improve about himself [07:25] Creating something that makes a difference in people’s lives [11:00] Whether or not Brett has any regrets [13:36] The challenges of talking about purpose beyond profit [15:46] The role Kaufman Development will play in the next decade of Columbus’ development [17:20] How Brett thinks of leadership development [25:06] The partners who’ve resonated with him To learn more about intentional living, and for the complete show notes, visit: https://gravityproject.com/ (gravityproject.com) Gravity is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

Tyler Noyes and Brett Johnston are the Co-Founders of Kalahari Snacks. The company was started after an adventure of a lifetime in South Africa after an encounter with biltong, an indigenous dried meat snack—and no, it’s not jerky. Tyler and Brett realized that the simplicity of the ingredients and the tenderness of the product would be a total game-changer for US consumers. So, they embarked on their mission to bring a centuries-old South African tradition to family, friends, and the rest of the country with one delicious piece of biltong at a time. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:  The difference between biltong and jerky How Tyler and Brett got to know each other and how the idea for a biltong business came about How the business partners found a co-manufacturer for their product and how they started selling  What is biltong—and is it a replacement for jerky? How Tyler and Brett worked out their responsibilities for the company Brett and Tyler talk about their new product, Kalahari beef crisps, and how they have been marketing the snack How Kalahari Snacks has been handling demos and sales during the coronavirus pandemic What businesses need to consider when deciding on an exit strategy How Brett and Tyler got funding for their company Tyler and Brett's advice to fellow entrepreneurs on handling business challenges Where to find more information on Kalahari Snacks In this episode… During an adventure in South Africa, Tyler and his friend Brett tried biltong, a dried, cured meat similar to beef jerky, and were immediately hooked. They loved it more once they learned that the snack was made of six simple ingredients that they could easily find to make their own biltong. This realization sparked a business idea for Tyler and Brett: produce the beef snack and market it in the US. The air-dried, thinly sliced pieces of beef contain protein but no sugar, carbs, or soy. Factor in the flavor, and you’ve officially found the perfect meat snacks. Tyler Noyes and Brett Johnston, Co-Founders of Kalahari Snacks, are Steve Cleere's guests in this week's episode of NexxtLevel Podcast.

Now imagining right there in the center of that feeling, right in the center of your chest where that feeling is, I want you to imagine there is a spinning wheel, and if there isn't one, I want you to put one there now. Imagine there is a spinning wheel right in the center of your chest, and I want you to speed it right up. Make it go really fast. When it's going really fast, I want you now to see that you have the ability to drag that wheel out from your chest. Now it's going to be a few inches in front of you. Do that now. Now you've got this wheel spinning like crazy in front of you. In a moment, I'll say the word flip. When I do, imagine you can flip the wheel over. Ready? One, two, three, flip. Now I want you to give that wheel a different color, a nice calm, tranquil color, something that just works perfectly for you.

Download to listen later... This week on MIA Radio, we share the time between two interviewees; clinical psychologist Dr. Noel Hunter and entrepreneur and author Brett Francis. Dr. Noel Hunter is a clinical psychologist in New York and an advocate for the rights of people diagnosed with mental disorders. She believes in a trauma-informed, humanistic, person-centred approach to understanding problems in living.  She has trained in community mental health, state hospital, residential, and college counselling settings.  Dr. Hunter is on the board of directors for the Hearing Voices Network – USA, the International Society for Ethical Psychiatry & Psychology, and the National Association for Rights Protection and Advocacy. She is an Associate Editor for the peer-reviewed journal Ethical Human Psychology & Psychiatry and has been a guest editor for Asylum Magazine.  Brett Francis is a professional speaker, mental health advocate, author and entrepreneur.  Brett was herself diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome and ADHD at 6 years of age, leading to being medicated for over eleven years and subsequent difficulties with anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. She is now passionate about supporting and encouraging open and honest discussions about mental health and disabilities and giving confidence to those struggling. In the episode we discuss: Dr Noel Hunter How Dr. Hunter came to be involved with the mental healthcare system. That Noel found that if she did reach out and discuss her experiences, she felt punished or accused of ‘seeking attention’. That these experiences made Noel want to fight back and become a therapist and advocate who took a different approach. That Noel feels that building trust within the therapeutic relationship is a fundamental part of a therapists job. That it is healthy to be sceptical of the mainstream system and for people to be afraid of getting help because of the potential of being re-traumatised by treatment. That the medical model ultimately leads to avoidance and harm. Whether there can ever be equality in the therapeutic relationship.  Brett Francis How Brett came to be diagnosed and medicated at a very early age. Her experiences taking the antipsychotic drug Haloperidol, and that she felt it disrupted her schooling. How Brett decided not to be limited by her diagnoses but instead focussed on tackling the stigma and misinformation prevalent in mental healthcare. That we should support and encourage people to talk about their struggles and we should do that through education. That creating communities and social connections can be enormously helpful in responding to emotional or psychological distress.

If you’ve ever wondered how you can create a thriving online business while having a full-time job… Or, if you’ve wanted to take an in-person business that “relies on you” and scale it online... This episode is for you. On the show today, veterinarian Dr. Brett Beckman, who specializes in veterinary dentistry, joins me to share how he has used Facebook ads to create a thriving online business. In addition to his in-person practices, Dr. Beckman sells online training courses for veterinarians, has a membership site and offers live events. And the business is driven by Facebook ads to webinars (both live and evergreen) as well as to free content. Since starting the online portion of his business almost by accident back in 2013, he’s been 4X’ing his online revenue every year since. On today’s episode, we dive into everything he’s doing and break it all down for you -- his Facebook ads, his online programs, the strategy behind what he does, and more. For me, most importantly, I really want you to pay attention to how Brett is playing the long game of his Facebook ads and paid traffic... How he focuses first on providing value so that he can build relationships with other veterinarians around the world so that when they’re ready for more training, they’ll turn to him. On the Show Today You’ll Learn: How Brett started off in May 2013 with 800 emails in his Constant Contact account and decided to test selling his first course for just $59. He went on to do $22K the rest of that year. We get into how Brett started 4X’ing his revenue each year since We break down all of his courses, and the journey he wants new leads coming into his business to take Why losing money sometimes on the front end of his paid traffic is ok with him How Brett is a master of repurposing content so he can build trust with his target audience What Brett’s super power is, in my opinion anyway, that has allowed him to be so successful What his team looks like And a whole lote more… Brand New Free Live Online Training: April 19th and 20th Coming up THIS week, on April 19th and 20th, that’s this Wednesday and Thursday, I’m going to be doing a brand new free live Facebook ads training for online businesses.

We've sold tens of millions of dollars in wholesale goods across numerous product categories on Amazon and eBay. We've also taught thousands how to do it themselves...and it's NOT complicated. Sourcing wholesale is a topic of confusion for many people, but not for those who have our ProvenAmazonCourse.com course! In this one episode Brett and Jim take on the challenge of sharing EVERYTHING they know on the topic of wholesale sourcing in a single episode. If that sounds a little far fetched, it means you really need to hear what they have to say! If you are stuck in "product sourcing mode" or if you think that success on Amazon is all about the constant search for profitable products, think again. It's way easier than that and we have plenty of proof!
