This episode I'm joined by my good friend and the "Dennis Rodman of Fitness", Wesley Showalter, aka Showdub.I had a blast recording with Wes who might be the most likeable person in the Fitness Industry. We discussed:- How Wes has been so successful with rebuilding his Business every time he has to move states due to his Wife's job.- How Wes utilises Group Fitness Classes to build a strong Personal Training Business.- Wes' approach to General Population programming and training.- How to manage and merge both Gym-based and Class-based training to still ensure great results are achieved.- Why flexible programming and autonomy are so important - Wes' Top 5 Tips for Coaches to maximise their Seminar Experiences - Plus a whole lot more serious and not so serious content.

In a Nutshell: There's no "silver bullet" marketing strategy that's going to turn your blogs and tweets into clients. But if you identify a niche and develop a consistent media presence that's appealing and engaging, you can reach your ideal clients where they're more likely to see and hear you. Guest: Wes Moss, the chief investment strategist of Capital Investment Advisors, which is a multibillion-dollar RIA in Atlanta. Wes has been ranked as a top 100 independent advisor by Barron's. He's also the host of Money Matters, which is Atlanta's longest running live call-in radio show on investment and personal finance, a regular contributor to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and the author of three books. My Key Takeaway: To build your media presence: Get writing. Wes and I both believe that writing is the key to finding your voice and starting to create stellar content. Re-purpose. Break down a good newsletter into a week's worth of social media posts. Turn audio from your webinar into a podcast. Use the intro from your last blog as a script for a 2-3 minute YouTube video. Automate and delegate. If you can use AI or a team of assistants to handle basic communication tasks you'll have more time to write, record, and get personal with clients. Also Learn: Why the ability to self-publish media gives independent advisors an advantage over larger firms when trying to reach people. What advisors should know about trying to break into radio versus trying to start a podcast. How Wes answers the question, "I'm your client. What is the value that you provide to me?" What Wes' experience as a contestant on "The Apprentice" (back when President Trump was the host) taught him about succeeding in marketing and media.

My guest this week is a version of me—a funnier, cooler version who has a PhD and served as an active duty marine. Lots of you will already be familiar with Wes Gray, and those of you who are not are in for a treat. Wes is the founder of Alpha Architect, a firm which manages quantitative equity strategies for clients using factors like value and momentum. He also advocates for a more concentrated, pure approach to factor investing, which listeners know is music to my ears. While we share a lot of the same views on markets and investing, you will still find this refreshing. The conversation was easy to structure--I just took all the questions clients and prospective investors always ask of me and my firm, and turned them on Wes. These range from very specific questions on quant investing to big existential ones.  I listened to this on a long drive home and laughed out loud in the car at least 5 times. You are going to love it all. I close this introduction by offering you an opportunity which is not for the faint of heart. On September 16th, I will be joining Wes and his crew on a 28-mile trek called “March for the Fallen” which is a small but important way of honoring those who have given their lives in service of our country. Wes and I invite you to join as well. If you are interested, check out the post on Wes’s site with all the details. I will link to it in the shownotes at investorfieldguide.com/wes. If you are still interested, then email me with the subject heading “March for the Fallen.” I told you Wes is a much cooler version of me, and true to form he will be doing the hike with a 40-pound rucksack. I will be doing the version without a rucksack. Either way, it will be a day of comradery and remembrance that we won’t soon forget.

20120513_How WES is not a TED Talk by affirming the worth of every person since 1944.

Wes Grudzien (GRUD ZEE AN) knows what it takes to be successful at selling on Amazon. Wes  is cofounder of Lullaby Lane. He helped grow the company’s  Amazon sales to over 7 million dollars annually in less than 3 years. He is also the founder of Ezonomy  where he teaches the exact methods used to grow a 7 figure business and consults with large scale sellers. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: [0:15] Jeremy’s introduction of Wes Grudzien. [1:31] The reasons Lullaby Lane was able to grow so quickly: access to suppliers. [2:53] What separates the LL approach from others who sell the same things? [8:31] The thought process behind coming up with new product ideas. [10:22] The things Amazon private label sellers are doing well and the mistakes they are making. [21:14] The type of things that make a good product bundle on Amazon. [24:45] How Wes gets customers to his own site rather than buying through Amazon. [28:23] Focusing on the things you can control - like inventory control, etc. [32:35] Resources Wes recommends. [46:59] The kind of things Wes used to do for his father’s company. [53:22] When Wes originally got started in ecommerce business. [1:03:00] How Wes helps new sellers to get past the barrier to entry. [1:05:39] The first milestone Lullaby Lane hit online. [1:14:02] The metrics to watch: inventory turnover rate / profit margin. [1:19:38] Why Wes doesn’t use traditional ecommerce software like Skubana. [1:30:04] What terms should Amazon sales businesses seek from manufacturers. [1:32:15] At what point should an ecommerce seller consider raising capital? [1:37:40] The lowest moment Wes experienced in his ecommerce journey. [1:39:48] The highest moment Wes has experienced. [1:41:45] The kind of work Wes does consulting with brands (a story). [1:46:52] Tips for brands selling on Amazon. In this episode… The Amazon marketplace is a very popular starting place for many people who want to enter the ecommerce realm. Selling on Amazon is still a very realistic way to begin making a living online but it’s not without its pitfalls. Wes Grudzien has not only become very successful selling products on the Amazon platform - he’s also built a business that consults with brands and individuals to help them get a start on Amazon as well. Selling on Amazon can work in a number of ways. The two most popular are through retail arbitrage (buying wholesale or at a discount and reselling at retail or above on Amazon) or through what is known as private label sales. Private label sales is the process of sourcing products through a supplier, branding them as your own, and selling on Amazon. Wes Grudzien has done both and is a pro at helping others learn how to create their own online revenue using those models. Wes attributes his company’s success at selling on Amazon to their commitment to follow typical business practices. It may sound simplistic but many who sell on Amazon don’t do adequate product research, don’t work to optimize their processes or listings, and miss many of the little things that can make for a successful sales channel. If you are interested in selling on Amazon you’ll enjoy this conversation with Wes Grudzien. He’s got lots of insights into the way things work on Amazon and what it takes to be successful on the world’s largest retail platform. Make sure you take some time to listen to this one. On this episode Wes Grudzien not only shares his journey as an Amazon private label seller but also the way he’s gotten involved with the Muscular Dystrophy Association as a result. He’s got some moving stories to tell about the difference he’s been able to make in the lives of some very special people. Be sure to listen.
