STEVE SINGS THE STANDARDS! No longer will the rest of The Steve Miller Band be holding Steve Miller back on his first and only solo album, an album of jazz and blues covers. Where do jazz and blues meet? Does anyone remember the UPN show "Shasta McNasty"? What songs have you heard the most in your life? Did Steve pass his test? Did he play it too safe? Did he at least use a clean tone? Should you ever open an album with "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah"? If Steve was going to pretend to be Les Paul, shouldn’t he have got someone to be his Mary Ford? Is "Hudson Hawk" any good? If this is a passion project, where is the passion? We'll try and uncover the truth behind all of this on this episode of Detours and Outliers.

PFF analysts Steve Palazzolo and Sam Monson discuss their opinions on the quarterbacks outside the top five in the 2021 NFL Draft: Lawrence, Wilson, Fields, Lance and Jones. Even after those five QBs are off the board, multiple teams will still be hoping they can get a future starter in the late first round or even on day two. If Steve and Sam were an NFL front office, who would they pick?

This week, Steve, Matt, and Jessica discuss Penny's baptism and the emotions surrounding this event in her life.Jessica and Steve weren't sure what Penny's involvement in the church would look like.

We’re diving deep into the wonderful world of restaurant kitchens this week.  Watching this chef’s career take off has been an inspiring experience for me, not least because Steve Groves started his culinary life working by the sea in Dorset, where we shared a town, and even a seafront some time ago.    If Steve’s name doesn’t ring an immediate bell, maybe the fact that he was a winner of ‘MasterChef: The Professionals’, will nudge your memory.  It also gives you an idea of the exacting standards he works to, and why Michel Roux Jr snapped him up as a sous-chef, to join the team at The Roux at Parliament Square.   For the last six years Steve has been Head Chef at this prestigious restaurant, giving its French classical heritage a modern twist and impressing yet more judges, most recently at The Craft Guild’s National Chef of the Year competition, that Steve impressively won.   But as you’ll hear, Steve is not one for blowing his own trumpet. He’s more interested in developing the talent of his colleagues, making sure the whole team gels, and that they get to see their families at the weekends.  Yes, every weekend.  And as it’s nearly Christmas, he reveals what’s replacing the traditional turkey on his  festive dinner table. 

63-year-old Steve lives 3,000 miles from his three children. Recently, he was asked by one of his daughters to move in and help her raise her son while her “baby daddy” is in jail. Steve feels that he has enabled and saved his daughter too many times and is hesitant to accept her offer. If Steve moves in…would he really be helping his daughter or more so his grandson?

Steve’s uplifting, poignant and yet humorous personality helps people to realise their own goals and inspires them to work towards them within their business, personal and social life.Following a near fatal car accident resulting in both legs being crushed Steve was told that he may never walk again. Through setting goals and working towards them he was able to achieve through his rehabilitation and then onward to eventually become a World Champion in the sport of para triathlon. Now as a professional speaker he takes the audiences on an inspiring and entertaining journey following his commitment and achievements.Louisa was lucky enough to interview him, just after the release of his book 'Don't lean on your excuses'.Wow what a moving interview, incredible man to listen to.  It really makes you think.  If Steve can over come everything he has been through, when we are thinking...  Ooh I feel a bit fed up or the weather is rubbish so I won't do this...  It just makes you look at your 'problems' slightly differently.  Let's hope this interview leaves you inspired and motivated top achieve... 

Your dreams are the most important thing.  If Steve did not have dreams, then he would not have what he has today. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

What did you dream of doing as a kid? Steve Perkins believes that childhood dream still holds the key to finding your proffesional sweet spot today, and he is here to help you find it.In this episode, Steve, who is transitioning his profession from engineer to career coach, shows us how doing what we love is a possibility AND that it actually makes real business success so much easier. We also discuss the pros of small business versus big business and how to scale a small business without losing all of that niceness you had at the beginning. This is an episode that you don’t want to miss!!   Teaser:   My Guest: Steve Perkins Steve Perkins is very familiar with the feeling of untapped potential. He spent 12 years searching for his career sweet spot, from building superconducting particle accelerators, to launching a culture transformation within a Fortune 500 company, yet always feeling that he wasn’t making the impact he was meant to make. After discovering his sweet spot, he started a company to help others clarify and step into theirs! And Steve is now the founder and CEO of Greenhouse Culture, helping people get unstuck, clarify their Sweetspot, and get intentional about making their greatest contribution.   The Advice: When you are in your zone of genius – or your sweet spot – everything becomes easier. Besides for loving each day and getting a thrill out of your job, you actually create a competitive advantage by default. This is because each individual has a different set of skills, passions and interests with no two people who are exactly the same. By maximizing your individuality, you automatically create a product or service that is different and unique. What you dream of doing as a kid often ends up to be the highlight of your job, even if you didn’t end up as the fireman or rock star of your childhood dreams. In most cases, the part of your job that you are really good at and enjoy the most contains many aspects of the job you dreamed of doing as a child. Don’t be afraid to tell people that you are planning to create a new business. Your friends, family and current business contacts are vital for helping you get where you want to be.   The Struggle: Steve has built his company slowly and steadily and is doing well. He is now ready to scale his company but is not sure how to move forward. Steve has investors who are interested in his business now and they will enable him to scale his business very fast, but he is not sure if that is the best approach for his company? He is now at the crossroads between building a strong connection with his clients one-by-one and using Facebook ads to get the masses.   The Breakthrough: The key to solving Steve’s struggle is understanding the differences between big business and small business. Although big businesses have more power and more resources, there are two areas where they can’t compete with small business: Big businesses can’t pivot as fast as small ones because there are so many people involved in every decision. They also struggle to give great customer experience and can’t build meaningful customer relationships. If Steve wants to preserve the goodness of his small business while growing into a larger corporation, he needs to make sure that he doesn’t run too fast with the product/service and ignore the organization. He can scale his business, but scaling too fast will be damaging because then he will end up being like all those big organizations that he hated when he started out.   Quotes: The only way to do great work, is to love what you do. -Steve Jobs My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style.   Resources and Links: Find Steve: http://greenhouseculture.co/ (greenhouseculture.co) Find Steve on Social Media:...

Was advised to become an engineer, which turned out to be a totally mismatched career choice. Worked in “super-geekdom” creating superconducting particle accelerators. Was intrigued by what his purpose in life really was, so began taking personality tests and performance reviews. Was drawn towards the idea of opening his own business, and spent years clarifying his purpose, goals, vision and business plan. Left his coveted engineer job and created Greenhouse Culture, a coaching firm that helps individuals turn their strengths and passion into career that they love.   The Advice: When you are in your zone of genius – or your sweet spot – everything becomes easier.

I don't think we've ever had anyone on the program who was as totally happy and full of joy as FLW pro Clent Davis was during this interview! Sure, Clent just won the big FLW Forrest Wood Cup and pocketed a check for $300,000 but he tells us he almost gave up tournament fishing over the past winter. He is certainly glad he changed his mind! Clent is in such a great mood that he didn't even get mad when Steve gave him some lyrics to a song he is writing about Clent. If Steve would have sung, that probably would have been a deal breaker! Take a listen to Clent Davis, one of the nicest guys around! Dan Johnston from St. Croix talks about panfish. Who doesn't fish for bluegills, crappies and the like? Dan gives some great tips here. Patrick Neu stops in to give us an update on what is new with the National Professional Anglers Association.

Steve Papps joins Liz Gunn for Part II on what has shaped a child of a ‘Once Were Warriors’ childhood, into a man with the vision and determination to create change for our better health, in body, mind and country. Steve’s Three Passions Steve begins by explaining his three passions - nutrition, water guardianship and emotional wellbeing - which he has shaped into businesses whereby he can follow his passions,  and give back from his learning and his innate belief system. Papps Nutrition springs from Steve’s own experience of lack of health and fitness. In changing his own health and eating habits, he immersed himself in learning, and found a passion for teaching others how to create physical and mental wellbeing through nutrition. Life Force Water is the second of Steve’s passions. It springs, as the name says, from the human need for living water if we are to have optimum health. Many people have no idea that water needs to be as alive as our fruit and vegetables. And his third wave of human interest comes in the form of Papps Consultancy which draws on the work he has done in studying the Quantum Field and how humans in fact shape our own realities every day - often without realising it. From this awareness, arises the possibility of shaping the sort of reality and life of which we each dream. Conscious Food and Water Choices Steve says what most people eat is not ‘food’- it’s man made processed ‘stuff’. It’s not full of life. Equally with water. Living water has a life cycle. It goes from a ‘juvenile’ stage, through a ripening process as it comes down from the sky, falls down mountainsides in waterfalls, in to river beds and down through rocks into underground water tables. This water is alive. After 3- 4 weeks, the life force in ALIVE water in a container, will support bacterial growth. This is a good sign, the fact that water CAN go off!  Water in taps and on supermarket shelves has been treated  to stop bacterial growth- which kills the life force in the water. This affects us on many levels. Chlorine may well be subsequently filtered out of the disinfected water. But the fact remains that the molecular structure- the life force - within that water has been changed. Something has happened in order to keep it ‘safe’ to consume. It means that water in the supermarket can sit on shelves for many months without going green. The disinfected water affects the good bacteria inside of us. Our good bacteria are at the heart of our immune system. To support good immunity, living water must be drunk fresh from Mother Earth Most of our vegetables - along with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients  - are in fact living water. Fresh food goes off. Living water also goes off. We want to take them both into our bodies in an alive and fresh state.   Humans are around 75% water - bones, muscles, brains… and the quality of the water we consume affects more than our physical being. It affects the quality of our thinking and the quality of our lives. Steve discusses the role water plays in the ageing process. Ageing is a dehydration process. People start internally 'drying out’  through chronic dehydration over a long period of time. People in the country who lived off the land and drinking fresh untreated water from underground aquifers, have a different energy . The life force in their food and water gives them a different, stronger life force. By contrast, in NZ cities, every week , 9 people lose an arm or a leg through Type 2 Diabetes…which Steve names as a lifestyle choice. Type 1 Diabetes is inherited, while Type 2 is a malfunction in the pancreas. Steve says that can be treated by going back to the lifestyle choices that created it, and altering those choices. Steve sees dis-ease as an expression of toxicity or acidity. When someone has cancer, the tumour is cut out - but five years later it may well return. Steve is much more concerned to address the CAUSE of the cancer. Why did that body manifest this imbalance? Steve believes that if one person can heal from cancer, there must be a way for all of us to heal from it. His whole focus is the cause rather than the symptoms. The ultimate aim is always to enhance the health of the person. People need to get well for themselves and for their families. He says his company's deal with the results, more than the theories,  and he looks to see if the changes he helps people to make, result in their doctors reducing or eliminating medications after the health of that person improves. These are the true measures of success for Steve. Practical results,  grounded in improvements in the everyday lives of the people he helps. If Steve was walking into a family of diabetics about to breakfast on toast, cereal and jam, what would his advice be? STOP ! Eat living food. No requirement for carbohydrates while the pancreas is not working ( which shows up in the body as Type 2 diabetes) . No exotic, expensive, exclusive foods. Primarily vegetables, protein and healthy fats. exotic. It’s real food and in the right amount for the goals of each person. The Importance of Amino Acids & Fatty Acids There are two essential food groups. The body cannot produce these: essential amino acids and essential fatty acids. Every cell needs these in the right quantity. We are a population which is totally overfed and undernourished. When the body says “ I’m hungry” , it’s actually saying “ Feed me nutrients” . By removing nutrients from manufactured foods, the person eating these processed foods will find they are still hungry after even a large caloric intake. The body is still crying out for nutrition. And so people keep eating the food that is devoid of nutrients, and wondering why packaged foods are so often hard to stop and put down. With Fresh Living Food, this does not happen. Steve also talks of good fats and bad fats- such as cold pressed organic olive oil, egg yolks, coconut oil, avocado, raw nuts. The man- made fats are to be avoided at all costs- hydrogenated fats, margarine, soybean or canola oil- these are toxic to the body. Body Building He also talks of his time competing as a bodybuilder. He had to compete against bigger men. He decided he had to get leaner than them, and he outsmarted the competition ‘in the kitchen' through his refined food study. He talks of all the contradictory information on diet . He has put himself through many different eating plans for years. That way he found the ‘holes' in the plans- the point of diminishing return where the food plan is no longer effective. He was able to refine an eating process that works, grounded in principles that apply long term, to create potent health.   Steve discusses the mental toughness humans need to find to stick to making changes. It’s not discipline. It’s awareness. When you’re ‘aware' of something, it’s no longer hard. He gives an example. Someone who wants to start a diet. They are not in the right state for success,  when they talk about how difficult it is.  So how to change the inner state? This is where his coaching in Papps Consultancy, kicks in. There’s a need to truly want what they SAY they want. Steve says  "Imagine if I said to someone- if you keep to the plan exactly for 6 weeks- I show you the money- you cannot deviate for one meal, for one day- then I will give you $10,000. “ We always move towards what we focus on. Now the focus, the attention, is on what the person wants. And it’s no longer a matter of discipline. It’s a change of awareness. A lot of self help information is a misunderstanding of how the mind works. You need to apply the principles correctly. Goal setting has its place but misapplied, it creates an internal battle. It’s ‘hard'. You’re constantly trying to ‘manage’ life. Steve offers the opposite. With the $10,000 analogy, that person is going after what they have ALREADY created in their mindset. A 'totally unrealistic’ mindset, combined with a willingness to take action. It’s about learning how the mind works, and getting beyond being enslaved by thoughts. You master your thoughts. If it’s your servant, your mind can serve you. But if you let it be your master, your mind will torture you every day. Steve gives a wonderful example of how the mind can take both sides of an argument inside someone’s head, and behave like the worst best friend!! It’s not a Discipline, but an Awareness. There are events happening in our lives. Then there’s the person’s story ABOUT what is happening. Beyond all of that is an infinite consciousness able to observe these thoughts, and see the dramas created. Observing the way the mind jumps about,  comes from just listening to your thoughts. Don’t judge the thoughts. Observe them. Most people who have anxiety can deal with the ISSUE itself,  but not with the anxiety ABOUT the issue, because that is like a ghost. Anxiety is really just a projected, imagined future. Getting stressed and depressed happens when someone becomes anxious about the anxiety itself. Instead there is a totally different way of looking at that which liberates people from the anxiety. Addressing Addictions Steve talks of addictions. They are a product of the story going on in the mind. He talks of a relative who has always been addicted to marijuana. He then asked about his rehab and he labelled himself an addict. Steve said that once you have a label, you have to live through those labels. Instead, Steve asked him if he had an accident and lost his memory, would he still have his addiction? Who would he become without that story? Steve says you can’t have an addiction without a memory. We fulfil our labels. It’s important to identify behaviours, yes. But a label is not going to serve the human ability to change and evolve. The perception is often back to front. Focus Steve focusses on getting the person’s energy and health improved so they have huge amounts of energy and life force. The same principles apply across all areas- business, relationship, children’s emotional wellbeing and success, food, health. The most fundamental part is having clear, practical goals. Most people have a fuzzy idea of what they would like but don’t pin that down to specific goals for today, for next week, for the next twelve months. If you’re a business owner, do you have a clear financial goal for next week? Becoming Wise Towards the end of the interview. Steve discusses the genesis for his own learnings in all these areas - his own life experiences. He talked last time of having three children by 19 years old. This drove him to seek out financial success. He explains that he became a store detective who built his own company, to create New Zealand’s largest store detective company after just a year. He talks of studying Bob Proctor’s work and Napoleon Hill’s book ‘ Think and Grow Rich’. He learnt the specific laws that apply to wealth and to relationships. He applied the principles and brought in millions. Then he misapplied those same principles. Every thought is a seed. It sets off a specific vibration. His thought that stymied his success was “ Just don’t screw this up” . He explains that humans will always end up where their energy is. He ended up with depression. He learnt through that pain.

Steve doesn't want to be funny on this podcast and Harry reminds him of the contract he signed at the comedy convention. If Steve refuses to tell jokes, then he must be defrocked or there will be dire consequences. Dragging out the Comedy Convention Handbook, Harry proceeds to do just that. No more propeller beanie, no more whoopee cushion, he rips off his epaulets and of course, the big nose and mustache. Then things get really crazy. Steve's guests are Washboard Jungle. Very, very funny guys playing Ukulele Daily with delightful and funny back up singing.

It's not often that you see a blog post that makes you think, discuss, and maybe even a little sick to your stomach but that's what Steve Rayson of BuzzSumo achieved with his controversial post "The Future is More Content." Steve has put out some thorough, well-developed thought leadership pieces over the years and this post is among his finest because he brings up an ugly topic we choose to ignore -- that swarming the web with content -- maybe even crappy content -- is a legitimate strategy. It's a topic I've covered in The Content Code book and in a recent podcast episode -- when you get it down to it, the best content marketing strategy is to create "Content Shock" for your competition by finding an unsaturated topical niche and then thoroughly dominating it to the point that you attract most of the Google juice. If you don't believe me, try competing with Hubspot in the content space. In a follow-up post, Chad Pollitt of Relevance goes a step further to explain that Google actually encourages quantity over quality. Perhaps their algorithm is hurting their own customers! Steve Rayson's article points to several examples where the "quantity" strategy is occurring. He points to the Washington Post strategy of increasing their publishing rate to attract more views. He furthers his argument by noting that cost of content is coming down which will rapidly enable a "quantity" strategy. We'll soon have computer algorithms creating loads of crappy content for us at very low cost. In fact, it is already happening. Steve mentioned to me that companies like Automated Insights are offering to produce 1,000 blog posts for $250. Are the posts any good? Maybe they don't have to be. Steve argues that the future of content marketing is quantity, not quality. Of course this goes against the conventional wisdom of almost every content marketing guru around these parts, but here's the truth -- Steve has only revealed the dirty little content marketing secret everybody knows but doesn't want to acknowledge: quantity can beat quality. At least in some cases ... Quality still matters, mostly When you have a business model that depends on "eyeballs on ads" then driving page views at any cost may make sense. But if you are a business (like mine) that is trying to attract loyal customers who stick around and actually do something, then the quality  model is probably the way to go. Let's use Steve Rayson's posts as an example. I never miss his articles because he always delivers in-depth, data-driven content. And he usually writes long posts -- but not too often -- so I can keep up with them. If Steve started posting 250 posts a week, the first reader he would lose is me, and that would be a shame because through his content, I have become friends and a collaborator with Steve ... which is how content marketing is supposed to work when you are trying to establish thought leadership. When I get people unsubscribing from my blog (it DOES happen!), the reason most often provided is "too many updates," and I only publish 3-4 times a week. Even if I pushed that to 6-7 posts a week, I know I would lose a LOT of readers ... even though I might get a lot more "views" because the sheer volume is going up. Viewers versus readers There is one other very important dynamic here. When people do click through to a corporate site, the average time on a piece of content is 15 seconds. So do you really want views ... or readers? Nevertheless, Steve is mostly correct in his analysis and I think the only ones who protest the truth of what he is writing either skimmed the post or are in denial. In fact, in the near future most content marketing may be turned over to the machines. I have this image in my head of those swarming bots in the The Matrix Trilogy hunting down unsaturated long-tail niches and then overwhelming the little opening with thousands of pieces of content. Of course this will happen. Rather depressing to think about, isn't it? I suppose at the end of the day the only "Neo" hero we have in the content marketing world is either to be the content curator or to be the brand trusted above all others. If we can create content that is un-missable, unmistakable, and un-copy-able we might have a chance ... but let's explore this idea a little more, shall we? Tom Webster and I dive over the crappy content waterfall in our latest Marketing Companion episode.
