It’s now a way to … improve access to healthcare for people across all healthcare settings.” — Dr. Sophia Thomas   “In educating the future of healthcare — whether that’s nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, or other colleagues — [telehealth is] really going to have to be incorporated into the next generation of healthcare.” — Dr. Sophia Thomas   “My career has gone from taking care of the patient to taking care of the nurse — and that’s where I find my joy and satisfaction.” — Vicki Good   “I think [COVID-19] is going to become its own learning section … in a book … on how do you really handle a communicable disease spread in a rapid fashion?

Don’t you just love it when you meet someone and you instantly click? That’s how I felt when I met artist and author, Justin Garcia, only a few days ago. By the time our brief encounter ended, I knew I wanted him to be a guest on Our Voices Matter; that his voice is an important one to add to our ongoing conversation about connection and humanity. I’ve always believed that art, in all its forms, has the power to bring us together in ways that nothing else can. Its transcendent nature speaks to the core of who we are as humans. In Justin’s words, “the artist is there to translate something deeper about ourselves and how it connects to humanity.” Amen. Let the conversation begin and feed your soul as it fed mine.Support the show (http://patreon.com/OurVoicesMatterPodcast)

Justin Bredeman, President and CEO of Soccer Shots Franchising, was a college teammate of founders Jeremy Sorzano and Jason Webb. Justin became the third Soccer Shots partner in 2009. Previously, he owned his Soccer Shots location for five years. As the former National Director of Store Support at Auntie Anne’s, Inc., Justin led a team that supported about 800 locations. Key Takeaways: [0:18] Today’s episode of Franchise Euphoria is brought to you by IndyFranchiseLaw.com, a leading resource in the franchise space. Head over to IndyFranchiseLaw.com learn more! [0:59] Josh introduces today’s guest, Justin Bredeman, the President and CEO of Soccer Shots Franchising. [1:53] Josh welcomes Justin to Franchise Euphoria. [2:20] Justin shares about his business history and what led him to the working with Soccer Shots. [8:38] Prior to joining Soccer Shots, Justin was working as a National Director for Auntie Anne’s where he oversaw over 800 locations. [10:46] Soccer Shots is a territory-based franchise where they go to childcare centers, pre-schools, elementary schools, etc., and a coach conducts weekly clinics at that location. [13:41] One of the benefits of working in an industry involving soccer is that the locations are very versatile, which provides many location options for their programs. [14:31] A big part of the Soccer Shots programs is teaching the basics of soccer, but it also focuses on teaching social kids to children. [16:37] Not having a brick and mortar investment component to the franchise has allowed Soccer Shots to partner with some unique companies. [18:43] All the Soccer Shots programs begin with a free, fun day, then materials get sent out to the families explaining the program. Once people register, a coach will conduct a 30-40 minute session that follows a structured curriculum throughout the duration of the season. [21:09] In Justin’s opinion, youth sports are under professionalized in today’s society, and Soccer Shots sets themselves apart by investing in their program through input received by customers.

Creating an authentic personal brand is important because everything that we develop in business is based on creating a personal brand. As sales reps, polishing your personal brand must be a priority to stand out to everyone no matter where you go or where you are.  Emily Soccorsy and Justin Foster are co-founders of intrinsic branding practice Root + River. They have combined their experience and expertise in branding and passion for personal growth to guide individuals in combining authentic original brands that attract new opportunities and levels of possibilities.  The intrinsic practice  Both Emily and Justin believe that every great brand is a spiritual experience. As coaches, they guide individuals regardless of the roles they play in the organization. Their goal is to make them understand that deep foundational soul of their brand and put that into practical use every day.  Branding is a practice, which means you need to do it every single day whether you are aware of it or not. Intrinsic practice will help you be aware of the things that you do and get organized around them so that those things will have far greater impact for a longer time.  What is branding? In simple terms, a brand is how other people experience what you believe. The brand is how people experience you in everyday situations and conversations. If you understand what that experience is giving to people, you can tap into that in a more conscious manner to help build your brand in a way that has greater impact.  Frank Rogers is a good example. He is a great salesperson who developed a thought leadership brand. He doesn't wait for the market to tell him what to say. Instead, he leads from the front.  Chip Scholz from North Carolina is another example. He is an executive coach with a very memorable brand who uses a direct and Socratic approach in his coaching.  Regardless of the audience you are talking to and the role you have, whether you're a coach or a sales leader, you must follow the same principles because you are responsible for two brands. First, you're responsible for your personal brand, and second, you're responsible for the brand that you are representing.  There are three specific qualities in intrinsic branding: inner traits that show up in the outer world.  Be original.  Don't be a karaoke singer or cover band. Be an original thinker, an original producer.  Articulate well. Learn how to tell your story eloquently, consistently, and compellingly. Do this without hesitation and insecurities. Share your story from the heart with conviction.  Be vulnerable. Do not give a packaged version of yourself. It is best to carry the lightest armor you can because when you do, you emanate something.  All three traits help to make a brand a positive contagion.  Originality  Anyone in any position has an opportunity to take an inventory of what their true expertise is and what they are better at doing than anybody else. If you are good in sales, ask yourself how it manifests, what it looks like for you, and in what aspect of the selling process you are crushing it.  These are difficult questions to answer because most times, what comes easily to us doesn't get much value. But if you are able to tune into the things that you are good at and able to share those with people, you'll have the opportunity to be an original thinker and brand yourself as a thought leader in whatever sliver of space that is.  Make sure that you share the tips that you have and give feedback to people who are open to it. You begin to build your brand by being a thought leader when you differentiate yourself in those conversations.  Fear Many feel apprehensive in speaking and expressing their original self because of two reasons: the fear of becoming an over-promoter and the social emphasis on humility.  There is a fear of overdoing things and the feeling of bombarding people with content they don't really need. But sharing is a moral obligation if the content is good and you are producing something that is helpful for the community.  The second one is humility.  While humility is a beautiful trait, it is unfortunately a terrible brand strategy because you have to suspend the idea that you're not special.  Conditioning From a very early age, we are conditioned to put the emphasis on other people and not on ourselves. People who talk about themselves are looked down upon.  But the truth is you have a voice and you have a message. You have something that transcends the product or service that you are selling, and you have a piece of yourself to offer to the world. You can't do these things if you choose the road of humility.  As a sales rep, it is your role to share your gifts with the world, and the way people can access your gifts is through your products and services.  Consistent authenticity  Authenticity comes from knowing who you are and what you can do. It stems from acceptance and conviction. When you discover who you are, the next thing you need to master is how to achieve consistency.  In branding, it's not the most technically talented that wins; it's the most consistently authentic that wins. #Branding   Austin Kleone mentioned in his book Steal Like an Artist that you need to steal from the people who inspire you instead of copying them.  Brene Brown is a great example. She built her brand by investigating what she found interesting and curious about the world. She then shares what she learns and talks openly about it. She is authentic and consistent in what she does.  The same is true for Gary V. Many would say he is  “too much” but that's the way he builds his brand. He shows up, answers questions, and talks a lot. But still, he is being paid for it because he is sharing something that he is good at. If you're going to hold yourself accountable to something, hold yourself accountable to authenticity. Inspiration The TSE brand prides itself on being personal to our clients. Even now with thousands of people listening to our podcasts, we make it a goal to be the same people we were before. When people connect with us on LinkedIn, we try to communicate with them and send something personal.   In Justin's assessment, The Sales Evangelist brand strives to be inspirational before it's informational. As it turns out,  peoples' brains are full of information, but there's always room for inspiration. People welcome inspiration because it's nourishment to the soul.   Listen to your audience  Listen to your audience. People often talk about the ideal market in terms of sales but we don't like that language. We favor the ideal audience and what you need to do with an audience is to take in their feedback. Your audience can give you energy and you can respond to that. It will help you hold things a little bit longer and move through things a bit quicker.  Salespeople must be responsive to the audience from an emotional standpoint. You don't do this by sending out surveys every other day. You do this by asking them questions, listening to them, and incorporating the things they said through your work.  Articulate  When you have something to say, you need to say it well, which means you need to write and speak with a level of excellence. Building a great authentic brand requires one to both write and speak well because it's the only way that the audience can access you. You need to find a balance.  You can make a system where you go out, do things, and speak. Learn how to produce interesting and consumable content. Learn how to create an explanation that's going to incite curiosity and interest to engage people in conversation.  It is important to simplify your message and infuse energy and emotion as much as possible. It's got to have the unexpected quality as well.  Simple, unexpected, and emotional are the three ingredients in making interesting content that people would be inclined to share it to the world.  This is what articulation is and it comes from practice. It is a type of discipline. The skill of articulating well isn't a natural ability; it's a product of frequent practicing.  Vulnerability  You have to push back against several thousand years of biological and social programming to become a great brand. Branding is far more about conviction. It comes from having an open front and strong back, according to Brene Brown. It is important to show your audience a little bit of the behind-the-scenes. Vulnerability means sharing your true self to the world. It is about being honest and telling people how you are doing or what you are doing.  Many find this challenging, however, and the line between what's private and what's public is difficult to cross.  Being vulnerable means sharing parts of the journey: the little lessons and failures along the way and opening yourself up to feedback. Contrary to what many think, vulnerability isn't about confessing everything. It's about showing your client that you are human and that you are relatable.  Michael Jordan failed so often that he was cut from his team, but he was able to push through, and that made him more human. It made him relatable and people have hope because of his story. They believe that they can do it, too.  Show the mess a little bit without being too self-deprecating. Vulnerability means a lot of different things but for us; it's a behavior and an action.  Who you are as a brand Set aside time to dive into who you are as a brand. Ask some thought-provoking questions and do the deep work with the intention of translating that into your action. Remember that you are your first client. It is important to practice self-care and to take care of the energy centers of physical health, mental health, emotional health, and spiritual health.  Be better so that everyone around you benefits. The world needs the best version of you, not a worn-out version of you. There is no better brand than vibrancy, and vibrancy comes from nourishment.  “Creating an Authentic Personal Brand” episode resources  Check out rootandriver.com for resources on how to create an authentic personal brand.

If your heart is invested in a creative endeavor, and you're in a relationship, there's almost nothing better than having the full support of your partner or spouse. There is a feeling of uncertainty when you step out into the unknown as a creative. It can feel a bit like shifting sand beneath your feet, but knowing that someone is there for you with faith like mountains can turn shifting-sand to the firmness of rock, making each step more stable. While you're honing your craft, figuring out how to navigate the uncharted way, your other is there with love, encouragement, ideas, and support. That's the type of solidity of faith and support I got to witness between Justin & Emily Martindale when they came to sit at my table on Find the Good News. Between the two of them, you'll find a creative carousel of talents. Justin is an accomplished and talented musician, producer, and designer, while Emily is a sought after photographer and writer. They are both reflective creators that find a great deal of joy in all the works they do. In short, they seem to be having fun together, supporting each other's works, and building a line-up of services that are helping other creatives bring their ideas to life. At the very heart of their relationship is a desire to help each other breath life into their ideas, and that energy and support spill off of them in waves. Emily nurtures Justin's passion for music, while Justin actively cheers Emily into new ventures in writing, and on and on they go and grow. In Justin's music and Emily's images, you'll find an expert quality that appeals to the eye and the ear. In Justin and Emily's story, you'll discover good news, and perhaps a little song that smiles in your heart. ========== FOR MORE INFO ABOUT JUSTIN MARTINDALE >> www.facebook.com/justin.martindale.5 or www.instagram.com/justin_martindale_music/  ========== FOR MORE INFO ABOUT EMILY MARTINDALE >> www.facebook.com/EmilyRoseMartindale or www.instagram.com/martindalemediagroup/  ========== FIND THE GOOD NEWS IS PRODUCED BY PARKER BRAND CREATIVE SERVICES >> www.ParkerBrandUp.com ========== SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS ••••••••••••• BEN VON DUKE'S HANDYMAN SERVICE >> www.facebook.com/BenVonDukeMaint or Call (337) 540-1355 ••••••••••••• FRESH FUEL >> www.TheFreshFuel.com or www.facebook.com/thefreshfuel  ••••••••••••• ASAP GLASS >> www.ASAPGlassCo.com or Call (337) 527-5455 ••••••••••••• WHISTLE STOP DANCESPORT >> Call (337) 515-7577 ••••••••••••• BRIMSTONE MUSEUM >> www.brimstonemuseum.org or Call (337) 527-0357 •••••••••••••

Teen rebellion never looked as fierce as it does in 1985’s THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN. This Joan of Arc-inspired, yet highly original movie manages to still leave audiences ready to fight every injustice. If you’ve seen this cult movie, you most likely love it. But if this legend has escaped your memory, prepare yourself for the totally rad, empowering feminist hero that is Billie Jean Davy. ▶️ A Texas teen seeks justice for her beaten up brother whose scooter been destroyed by a town bully. After being sexually assaulted and her plan going awry, Billie Jean, her brother and two friends go on the run, refusing to give up until the score has been settled. Thick with themes, THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN touches on sexism, classism, media sensationalism, feminism, personal ethics and all the while remaining a fun and inspired ‘80s road movie. We’ll touch on the careers of the main players (Helen Slater, Christian Slater, Yeardley Smith and Peter Coyote), the film’s influence, Pat Benatar’s “Invincible” and why it’s a crime this film is so overlooked. ▶️ Picks of the Week: Teenage rebellion rages on with two films that dare to break society’s rules. In Justin’s Pick, 1990’s PUMP UP THE VOLUME, Christian Slater plays an introverted high-schooler with a pirate-radio station alter ego encouraging his classmates to question authority. Lindsay’s Pick confronts sexism, gender stereotypes and bullying in a wildly ridiculous teen comedy about gender-swapping to prove a point in 1985’s JUST ONE OF THE GUYS. ▶️ After the success of Ghostbusters, Billy felt his career may have hit its peak. So in 1985, he needed to escape the country to save his sanity. Your MurrayMoment finds our Billy living and re-centering himself in France. She may not look like a typical superhero, but Billie Jean is a warrior and a groundbreaking character for ladies in the ‘80s. Although this film went largely unnoticed in its day, we wanna set the record straight and we’re not giving up until you watch this legendary movie. FAIR IS FAIR!

In Justin's first solo episode he opens up about exciting career achievements after persevering through difficulties. His search for authentic self esteem and shares some cognitive behavioral tips for overcoming obsessive thinking.  As always please leave a rating/ review on iTunes and follow, reach out, ask questions or DM @iamjustinsilver on all social platforms.  Get discounts off all products at infinitecbd.com with promo code "Justin"

Justin Hiatt is the Vice President of Digital Sales at Workfront, a company that has an amazing organizational culture. What I witnessed at Workfront is nothing short of amazing. The team there is incredibly loyal and fiercely determined to improve the company’s position in the market. Why is that? Justin believes that the success of his organization flows out of the emphasis the team places on developing an outstanding organizational culture. He is a practitioner, not just a theorist - and he has incredible insights and stories about the impact a strong focus on culture has had. Be sure to listen to what he has to share.

Why Leaders Must Understand The Importance Of Organizational Culture If you want to know why organizational culture is so important these days, I can sum it up in one word: Millennials. One thing you can count when it comes to Millennials is that organizational culture matters to them. They want a place to belong, to contribute, and to matter. Leaders who understand that simple fact and focus on creating a dynamic culture will be light years ahead of their competition in employee acquisition, retention, and effectiveness. In Justin’s organization, 95% of his workforce is made up of Millennials. Do you think HE understands the importance of organizational culture? You better believe he does. What he’s done to build a strong culture is ingenious. He’s asked for volunteers from among his team who are willing to serve on focus groups over 5 different areas: Strategy, talent, enablement, culture, and technology. The individuals intimately involved in making the company and the culture what it is. Listen! You’ll hear how Workfront has become an in-demand place to work, how it retains employees long term, and more. How Do You Hire The Right Talent To Fit Your Organizational Culture? The culture of your company begins with the leadership, but it has to be embraced by the people you have on your team. How do you find the right people, the ones who are a good culture fit? Justin says you have to start by building your brand out in the marketplace. Workfront partners with local universities and colleges in ways that go far beyond showing up at career fairs. They also target certain industries where individuals employed there have solid sales experience and a desire to get into the tech field. He says that sort of strategic plan around recruiting enables them to find people with amazing talent and ambition that other companies are overlooking. In this conversation, Justin shares much more about the importance of having an “ideal candidate profile,” a great interview process, and a plan to retain team members for the long term. Listen to hear how he does it. Leaders Need To Understand Where Their Team Members Want To Go When leaders consistently communicate and express loyalty to the members of their teams, amazing things happen. Justin explains that leaders who take the time to know the ambitions and goals of their team members are able to help them advance in the direction they want to go. Many times that means helping them work their way up through the company. Other times, it may mean they decide to take an opportunity at another company. For that reason, it may sound counterintuitive at first, but it’s not. When the people who work for you know that you are for them, they become extremely loyal to you. Even if they do wind up leaving the company, they speak well of their experience with you, send other highly qualified recruits to see you, and more. Listen to Justin’s stories of how it works, and you'll get a first-hand look into the importance of organizational culture, on this episode. Employee Retention Problems? It’s Probably An Organizational Culture Problem One of the biggest areas where Justin has seen the power of culture come to fruition is in employee retention. His team is pulling off an amazing 95% retention rate. How does he do it? He’s quick to say it is the culture that makes it happen. At Workfront, culture is not a buzzword. As Justin says, “It is what you are. It is your brand. It’s a living, breathing thing. In order to have a strong, positive culture, it has to be your top priority.” And he says all of that comes from his culture focus group. They want to have a culture that is high-performing, where people are happy, where they are able to make friends, have fun, and can advance their career. Listen to hear about the real results a deliberate focus on culture has had on the Workfront team. This podcast is brought to you by the Annual AA-ISP Leadership Summit.

By now, you’ve hopefully begun to create your own content. But, how do you share your content on social media? Justin Wise, Owner and Founder of ThinkDigital.co, shares with us the system he uses both in his own business and for his clients. At Think Digital Justin focuses on a three-prong approach to digital marketing for his clients: Education, outsourcing, and social ad placement. When creating a content and social strategy for your business, we discuss the hierarchy of messaging for marketing. We start first with Purpose. Without purpose, your clients don’t care. They want to know that their business with you matters. Second, we focus on Persona. Who are you speaking to? In Justin’s example, two gyms with identical purpose will have very different strategies based upon the personas that occupy their business. Third, we focus on process. How is your day and week blocked off to prioritize sharing your purpose to your personas? Lastly, this strategy ends in revelation of your product. That “Get Started” call-to-action; the actual workout itself. Justin leaves us with an excellent tactic we can use today. We give you a blog post title prompt with a step-by-step process to maximize your leads to members. Remember: Your future members need significantly more contact points than you think before they’re ready to commit to your product. You need to be front of mind when they’re ready.
