We all want to see progress, but what about progress within the mastery of where you are? But there’s more to improvement than simply going faster. What about the workout that becomes “easy” to you? It’s not as glamorous, but that is real progress. Once we master where we are, we’re much better suited to climb up the next rung of the ladder. We look at appropriately challenging workouts, recovery days, moving workouts in your schedule, and how things all stack together to make you stronger and faster in the long run. Topics: Past - Present - Future Go big or go home??? Mental and Emotional Stress vs. Physical Stress When workouts turn into mental stress How training compares to cooking It’s a Day To Day thing Why boring workouts are exciting Keeping your tank topped off Chores, responsibilities, have-to’s Workouts in daily life, moving, yard work, etc. When should or shouldn’t you MOVE WORKOUTS Consistency IS Momentum The perils of rigid training Why you should get outside more True recognition of recovery weeks Turning One Rest Day into Two Same workouts week after week Why a 3 week build is really only two weeks The right time of the day to workout When expectations get too high Is Mike turning into a gadget guy??? --------------- Registration is now open for the C26 Club Training Program.

In this episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck interview Michael Fusco, President of Fusco & Orsini Insurance Services. Mike talks about his strategies on charging fees and turning it into a revenue center. He also shares his knowledge and expertise in the insurance business and the systems that he’s using in his agency. Episode Highlights: David introduces Mike Fusco. (1:30) Mike shares his background. (3:21) Mike mentions that he was 23 years old when he worked at Geico. (4:38) Mike shares that working at an independent agency taught him a lot about the industry and construction markets. (5:46) Mike mentions that when you work strictly on commission, you need to learn how to keep your customers satisfied. (6:08) Mike shares that his agency is a heavy fee-based agency. (6:49) David shares that for leasing, one of the biggest issues that you have is you go through all the time, energy, and paperwork to put somebody into a leasing company. (8:07) Mike mentions that since he started this agency in 2010, they changed the way they disclose fees in California. (9:09) Is Mike still in that construction industry? (9:40) What is Mike’s strategy around the fees? (11:33) Mike mentions that in the My Wave Connect, they charge as much as $1,300 a year, to have access to the portal. (13:18) David shares that small businesses are the less sophisticated ones, and need access to the portal. (16:06) Mike shares that most of the big shops have risk management services as part of their offering, and they don’t give it for free. They’re finding ways to generate revenue by providing risk management. (18:03) Mike thinks that insurance agents need to feel less guilty about charging clients for value-added services. (18:50) David thinks that it will never get fixed until we make a stand as an industry, that we're not going to settle for anything less than what we're worth. (23:29) Mike mentions that Trust Layer is an AI system that enables them to manage certificates and subcontractor certificates for our general contractors. (23:53) Mike shares that when you have higher sales and higher payrolls, your rates are going to be better. (34:45) What are the other systems that Mike’s agency is using, from automation? (38:10) Mike shares that he has eight pipelines for sales, five pipelines for service, and he has a couple of pipelines for renewal. (38:45) How much does Infusionsoft integrate with salesforce, at present? (45:44) Mike mentions that Epic is huge for accounting, downloading, and putting policies in tracking. (46:53) Mike shares that he’s starting a podcast, Team Business, which will have a team-based theme. (49:25) Key Quotes: “You know, we’re still growing. Our month over month is looking good, we're trending in the right direction in terms of our annual revenue.” - Mike Fusco “I look at it this way. If a customer doesn't want to pay us for our services, then they don't need to be our customers. You know, we put the fee right in front of them. They know exactly how much they're paying us for their services. Sometimes I think they even value the services more when they know what they're paying us, on an annual basis.” - Mike Fusco “We shoot ourselves in the foot as an industry because we're professionals. We’re just like a CPA, we're just like an attorney, we bring a value proposition that people need to have and we might not be a fit for everybody. But why are we so afraid to charge what we deserve to charge?” - Mike Fusco “We don't have to earn every customer, but they need to know who we are and what we're charging. They need to know what they're gonna pay us and we're not going to falter on that. I mean, that's what we do.” - Mike Fusco “Clients are still in the lifecycle and still in the opportunity cycle of us landing on their desk and then buying policies from us. If we educate them properly, if we show them the value of using an independent broker, someone who they have to pay for their service, it might be more expensive. But this is what we're going to do for you that buying online is not going to do for you.” - Mike Fusco “I love talking to anyone in our industry. I love the people that are involved in this business. There's some really good stuff out there.” - Mike Fusco Resources Mentioned: David Carothers LinkedIn Kyle Houck LinkedIn Florida Risk Partners The Extra 2 Minutes Michael Fusco LinkedIn Fusco & Orsini Insurance Services

A lot of financial professionals will tell you things that just aren’t true. That doesn’t mean they do it intentionally. Many times these professionals have been given talking points, which they might even feel to be true themselves.

Jim Sweeney- As creator of the Trademarked MIKE sports character, I'm known as the MIKE Maker. What -- or who -- is MIKE? Mike's a witty, alter-ego sports entertainment character destined to deliver unexpected fun, engagement, content and creativity to fans. Who owns MIKE? I do, with my wife of 38 years. Together, we have personally financed and own all of MIKE's animation, illustration, music, web site development, podcast production, marketing and travel. Legally, we are completely unencumbered. Developing, cultivating and creating MIKE content is my full time gig. Goal for MIKE - The ultimate goal is for MIKE to become the first ever universal animated brand to transcend all sports as a global entertainment icon. We're talking Spongebob, Mickey Mouse and Bart Simpson with an international following. Not only is a microphone's image universally acknowledged, but MIKE is the world's third most popular name and is easily translated into most languages. MIKE competitors - There are none. His straightforward design speaks of him being the "ultimate talking head" on sports. The only other animated sports brand with any media credibility is Cletus, FOX Sports' transformer robot. FOX execs have admitted that Cletus is football specific, and they forgot to design Cletus to talk. How do I envision a partner utilizing MIKE? offer one of its many sponsorship partners the opportunity to align with MIKE and incorporate witty, MIKE hosted cartoon shorts. green light a short show in which MIKE - in the Space Ghost vein - interviews real life sports celebrities. Remember, Space Ghosts earned nearly $1.5 Billion in syndication. transform a standard microphone to morph into my cartoon MIKE as a creative means to promote a concert, event or theater performance or interact with its on-line talent. use MIKE as an animated character personality in his own studio. In his already animated shorts, MIKE already pontificates and entertains on things witty, funny or clever. The MIKE studio is specifically designed with plenty of studio screens to house sponsor marks, messages and logos. Can I see MIKE anywhere in the digital space? Yes, over the past few years, MIKE has appeared in 900+ sports blogs and he has "authored" 40 sports comic books in his series which appears on Amazon. The brand is currently monetized via affiliate relationships with NFL Shop, MLB Shop, NBA Store, NHL Shop, Sports Memorabilia and Fanatics. Is MIKE currently animated? Yes, see two sample animated MIKE clips below without any sponsor affiliation: Boring Baseball Statistics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsgwJyC4Mlw&feature=youtu.be Immensely Important Inconsequential Games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH1x3MVutlo&feature=youtu.be Listen to another #12minconvo

Full Show Transcription (An Idea I picked up from Neil) Donnie Boivin: A great conversation, we’re gonna talk about SEO and how to get higher ranked on google and everything else but it was fun we talked about our farms, his ranch my farm you know and we just talked about what kind of entrepreneurs and the journey and just the things that he’s done in his short time working with businesses - a couple of things. I was surprised to find he wasn’t the CEO of his company, he really likes being with the tinker so really really fun episode guys Dive in and have a lot of fun and you know do me a favour I couldn't do these shows without Stacy McGovern and her company Point Blank Safety. You know they are doing just awesome things for police officers and their families but they’re also doing great things to keep us safe on the freeways such as when we going about. I mean you know, you’ve been driving along there’s an obstruction up on the freeway, there’s usually a cop car sitting there to help keep the workers safe so everybody gets home well that’s usually Stacy’s company, so if you’re ever in a spot where you need safety services to help with your construction projects, your... whatever that you need safety for. Reach out to Point Blank safety services, tell them that Donnie sent you and watch how awesome and the cool things that they do and can do to protect you, your employees and us as we’re driving along the roads. Enjoy this episode guys, gonna be a lot of fun Alright guys, it’s going to be a fun killer episode. I’m bringing in Neil Patel man. I know a lot of you that follow the show have been asking me to get him on here for quite a while so it should be a lot of fun to have this conversation so this is Donnie and this is Donnie’s Success Champions, Neil my friend, welcome to the show brother please, tell us your story. Who the heck are ya? Neil Patel: I’m Neil Patel. I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve created a few marketing technology companies, I blog at neilpatel.com I have one of the most popular marketing kills on the internet called Ubersuggest which funny enough, is free. That’s pretty much a bit about me you know, that’s - I was 15 and half, I was 16 and now I’m 33 years old. Donnie Boivin: Yeah no, it’s awesome. I mean I actually have used a couple of your tools that are out there I mean but how did you get into all this? I mean did you wake up one day and say I was going to be this technology influencer or what? Neil Patel: I don’t know if I’m an influencer but the way I got started in all of this was, I was 15 and half and I was picking up trash and cleaning restrooms, not the best job. But I did it, it paid money. I wanted a higher paying job so I was searching the web on much.com for high paying jobs I realised I wasn’t qualified for any of them at 15. I just wanted to get to 6 figures. So I ended up creating my own job board, ‘cause I’m like if you can’t find a job what do you do? You create a job board. Probably not the right logic and reasoning but that’s how I thought as a 15 and a half, 16 year old. Created a job board - popped it up, paid someone to help me out took all the money I saved from picking up trash and cleaning restrooms and guess what? It didn’t work. I created a sh***y ME2 version. And I was like, I thought you created a website and people just come! You know this better than anyone else, no one just comes to your website you gotta do marketing. And then at that point I learned about marketing, paid a few marketing firms. Got ripped off, lost my money. I was frustrated, I was broke at the time, learned it on my own - did a good job, still made no money but I got traffic. Then I was like hey, why not help out other people with marketing. I don’t know how to create a job board but I do know how to get traffic. Donnie Boivin: So you’re the traditional entrepreneur, not the one that you see hyped in all the media that you become an entrepreneur and hey, you’re a millionaire tomorrow type thing that you see online Neil Patel: No that wasn’t me, I wish that was me. Donnie Boivin: (laughs) You and me both. So most things are created out of necessity right? We go on a journey, we buy into some sort of pipe dream you know that this is all we have to do and we’ll sail off into the sunset type thing. But in reality, you like most of us got your teeth kicked in - realised what you did better than some, you just figured how to turn that into a business with the knowledge you had. And some might say you’ve had a little success of doing that so far. But you know, it’s fun to watch someone who’s created things - what are probably some of those big lessons as you were starting out, figuring all this out that you know maybe were a little tough to learn while others came pretty easy? Neil Patel: Yeah a few of them were one, you need to focus, I kept trying to do too many things you know, even at 16. When I was doing marketing for other companies I was doing (inaudible). I was 16 years old, got myself to 20 grand a month really fast. Which is good money, even today it’s good money. And then I lost it all and then I lost the money I made on top of that and what I ended up learning is you should focus. What I was investing in back then was considered cloud computing. There was no AWS or anything like that but I had the idea. I’m not saying that I was the first but I was one of the first to execute on it and I did a sh***y job. And I quickly learned that hey, you should focus. If I just focused and continued to do marketing because even if I was investing then maybe I got that 20 grand to 50, to 100 and I was eventually making over a million dollars a year just doing marketing and then I started expanding into other businesses. Like why, I should have just kept going in the vertical that I was in and that was a big mistake that I made. You know, as I was generating all this income and growing the business, I quickly learned that just because you do one thing really well, and you can even provide results - it doesn’t mean that you’re going to keep making money. So to give you an idea during the recession in 2008 I lost a lot of customers. When you do SEO and marketing for people they considered that WTF (inaudible). What the heck is this? And I ended up losing quite a bit of income from that as well. And another hard lesson that I ended up going through was as you’re creating these businesses no matter how smart you are, it’s about people. Funny enough I have a blog coming out on this tomorrow, I don’t know when this goes out and it’s discussing if I had to start over, what would I if I had to do it all over again. And it’s funny in there I talk about I would spend 9 years working for other people before I became an entrepreneur. See I’d work at a really large corporation like at Microsoft just to see how large companies work. I’d work at a really small startup and not a sexy one like that’s steering fast like Uber or Airbnb, I’m talking one that struggled because then it teaches you how to be creative and think outside the box and make this happen and it teaches you how to be scrappy. I’d also work at a startup that is doing really well and is skyrocketing, that’s raised over 10 million and just growing really fast - reason being, it shows you what companies growing really fast are like and how to keep up with them and how to deal with the mess that scaling fast causes and how to clean it up often. I”d work for a company that was doing somewhere around a hundred million, but not at a billion and see how they work cause organisationally they got to scale up, they got to improve themselves every time - it’s not that easy. Donnie Boivin: One interesting thing on that Neil is I spent 20 years as an employee before I launched and became what they call an entrepreneur right. I was in the sales game for 20 years, here’s the difference, now I love your idea of going to work for somebody else but to do that you’ve got to go in with the mindset that eventually you’re going to start your own business. +Cause I never went into that game - I always thought I was going to do the “make a crap tonne of money being a sales guy” and retire until I realised how much more money money the companies were making than I was. It just took me 20 years to get there Neil Patel: You hit the nail on the head, this process only works if you know you’re going to start a business cause the key to working at all these different company sizes is to learn specific skills from them. From hiring to recruiting, to dealing with bullsh** problems and internal politics, because if you want to build a big business and I learned this one the hard way, this is why I tell people to work for others is people is what grows the company. It’s not just your idea, it’s not the CEO it really comes down to your kingdom. It doesn’t matter how smart you are, you could be the next Elon Musk, or Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates. If you don’t have an amazing team, you’re not going to do well. And I didn’t learn that lesson until - I kid you not - this year. It was actually last year but close enough. And this lesson was really hard for me because it taught me that if you have the right people, you just grow super fast. Like this year without getting into my revenue, we’ve had 3X in growth. Donnie Boivin: I mean making an extra 10 bucks a year, that’s pretty good bud - well done. (laughs) Neil Patel: Really? And we’re well into the millions right, I’m not talking 2, 3, 4 or 5 million we’re substantially more alright, we’re a 8 figure plus business. But to 3X, technically more than 3X but to 3X our size being bootstrapped, self-funded. That’s crazy growth Donnie Boivin: Right, well but I mean going back to the days, they always taught Henry Ford his genius - his only genius was hiring people that were 10 times smarter than he was in all these unique fields and categories, whether you love Henry Ford or hate him. I love the idea behind it is, there’s a whole interview done where they were trying to bash him in the interview, “You’re not a very smart guy, why are you the one making all these decisions?” and he says look, I hit this button and I immediately have the head of engineers on the phone, I hit this button I have the head of sales on the phone, I hit this button and you know he has all these geniuses around him and once he found that team of geniuses he was able to do what he was good at which was, lead. While his geniuses were actually going to work and build his business and do all the things they do, You know it’s a brilliant business model Donnie Boivin: How did you realise that, that's what you need to do for your business? That you couldn't just be chief cook and bottle washer? Neil Patel: Yeah and funny enough i'm not even the ceo of my business so I’ll be the guy who just focuses on driving the traffic. I had a roommate when I was living in Vegas, and his name is Mike. At the time I was getting like a few hundred thousand visits to my neilpatel.com website and now im at 3 point something million visits a month. And Mike was just like, hey you don’t do anything with this traffic let me just figure out how to make some money with it And Mike made more money faster than I could from my own traffic. Mike didn't go to college, I’m not saying going to college requires anything, he not booksmart Mike’s really creative. He is smart overall, he’s not the type that sits down and he studies and he does well on a test. Mike’s more smart like he needs to solve a problem, he’ll learn and figure it out really fast how to solve that problem but he’s not like a hey let me study for a bar exam type of guy right? And he’s always did better than me and I was like how is this possible? SAnd Mike’s just like, I don’t do it. I just go find people who are really good in this one thing, who have done it in this space and I work with them and that’s all he did. He just recruited a ton of people who are really good at a specific task, that’s all you do and if they didn’t have a proven track record in the same exact space he wouldn’t deal with them Donnie Boivin: Wow, that’s pretty smart. Is Mike looking for another job by any chance? Neil Patel: He’s not Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Neil’s like I’m protecting that dude Neil Patel: Yeah, he’s actually my partner now right, so… Donnie Boivin: So your lane really is driving the traffic and that’s kind of your specialty, your niche to get traffic to sites. Was it just trial and error, you know? You screwing up a lot of things until you figured out what worked to drive traffic or was it, did it kind of come natural to you? Neil Patel: I was pretty good at it early on, I was always a computer geek. But when I look at traffic I’ve been doing this for 17 years now so overtime… Donnie Boivin: Well I hope you’ve learned something in that timeframe right Neil Patel: But more importantly I had no choice, think about: 16 years old, growing up on the Orange County California in a city that has beautiful sunshine, we didn’t have an AC. My parents didn’t have an air conditioner in their house cause we grew up in the poor part of Orange County and we weren’t very broke but my first job was cleaning restrooms and toilets, and I was doing whatever I can to live a better life. And I was just like, I had no choice but to figure it out - I didn’t have tons of money or other people helping me. I just had no choice but to learn it well if you want to do it well, you’ve got to do it on your own if you don’t care then that’s fine Donnie Boivin: No that’s awesome. So, what’s kind of the big vision with this whole thing? Are you going to become the next internet mogul for lead generation and… Neil Patel: I don’t know what my next step is other than just keep driving traffic and I’ll just keep driving traffic and growing the leads. I let Mike, he’s the CEO - figure the rest out. Seriously I just haven’t figured it out Donnie Boivin: That’s awesome. So we’ve got listeners in 78 countries, a lot of entrepreneurs are listening to this show and small businesses trying to figure out how to drive further traffic to their sites. What are some simple tips and tricks or easy things that they could implement now that would help them drive traffic to their businesses Neil Patel: Sure I’ll give you simplest hack you can do out there and this thing works like a charm ok? So one, if you’re already getting traffic, you can type in the keywords that you already rank for and if you don’t know what they are you look for them in your google analytics, your google search console will tell you and type in those keywords into a free tool called Ubersuggest. In Ubersuggest, it will give you a long list of other related keywords that also get traffic. Take those keywords, shove them in your content. And don’t just shove them in there, reword them you know jazz it up, so that way it’s also related to all those other keywords. If you rank for that one keyword, it will trigger all the other keywords and it’ll be easier for you to rank for it and how much extra traffic you can get The next thing I would want you to do is take all your closest competitors, if you don’t know what they are search for them on Google with the keyword you’re trying to rate for. Type in those URLs into Ubersuggest, it’ll show you how much traffic they’re getting from each country, what are their top pages, what keywords are driving business to this top pages and who’s even linking to them. How many social shares do they have, from Facebook to Pinterest you know, you get the point And what you wanna do is, you take their best pieces of content and you create better versions of it, publish it on your site, reach out to the people who linked out to them - ask the to link out to you and then on top of that, reach out to all the people that shared their content and ask them to share yours Donnie Boivin: Alright, badass. And you built the whole site, Ubersuggest right? Neil Patel: Yeah built it for free. Technically it cost me Donnie Boivin: Sure but somehow you’re using that as a lead magnet into your business... Neil Patel: Not yet.There’s no lead magnet on it, we don’t click emails, you don’t register for accounts Donnie Boivin: Then why the hell are you doing it? Neil Patel: Well fun and games Donnie Boivin: Just to game the system? Neil Patel: No no no. Fun and games like, can I beat my competition and screw over their business Donnie Boivin: (laughs) So you did this all to just see if you could do it? Neil Patel: Moreso to disrupt the industry but yeah, that would be an entertaining experiment Donnie Boivin: Love that, that’s brilliant. It’s so funny, I’m not a techy guy right. You know I pay other people to do a lot of that s***t for me because you know my lane is being the face of the company, center of attention, doing all the interviews, going on stages and all that. You’ve got a little bit of that in you as well because you did a crap ton of videos, you’re putting out content and everything else. Would you rather be behind the computer screen or in front of it? Neil Patel: I don’t care either way, as long as traffic goes up into the right I’m happy. I don’t care about the numbers Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Right on, right on. Neil Patel: To go back to that question if you had to tell me Neil if you had to start all over again, do you want to be the face of the company? I would say no Donnie Boivin: You want to be the backend? Neil Patel: Yeah. And there’s one reason, it’s harder to sell a face It’s easier to sell a corporate band. Donnie Boivin: That is a 100% true. Because everybody judges from what they see, not what they know - the analytics and the background Neil Patel: Yeah, you even think about this. Who’s one of the most popular people in the business arena that you can think of, name one person Donnie Boivin: In business arena right now Gary Vee is carrying a lot of nobility, Simon Sinek you know guys like that Neil Patel: Yeah, Tony Robbins, there’s a ton of them. Now Gary has created a company, so has Simon Sinek… I don’t know if Simon Sinek actually has yet. Donnie Boivin: No he hasn’t yet. Neil Patel: Tony Robbins definitely has. But if you look at them, they’re definitely doing an amazing job. Tony’s always doing well I don’t know him. Gary, I don’t know him well. He’s done an amazing job as well, built a great company. But the moment a company is tied to a personal brand it’s not worth as much as if you’re just, a Coca Cola or Microsoft or Berkshire Hathaway. When Steve Jobs passed away it sucked but Apple is still a bigger company than it was before Steve Jobs was in the driver seat. I’m not saying he didn't have a huge impact, he didn’t lay the roadmap. I’m not saying he didn’t do anything like that. He did a ton even for the future of Apple, to make sure that they’re going at the right trajectory. But when a company is named after a person it’s not as valuable as when it’s named after a random thing that you can end up selling The moment that key person goes away, for example you know I hope Gary Vee lives forever in technology chambers, the same with Tony Robbins or even me. But when we go away, what happens to that traffic and user base that’s following us? I’m nowhere near as popular as them but in general I know my business will go down. Tony Robbins without Tony Robbins will not make the same amount of money period. I don’t care who’s running it Donnie Boivin: Well prime example is a guy... you’re younger than I am I don’t know how old you are but... Neil Patel: 33 Donnie Boivin: 33? Alright, I got you with about 10 years. There’s a motivational speaker named Zig Ziglar. Zig had one of the largest brands in the world once upon a time. But now that Zig is no longer around his business is still here but it will never reach the peaks of what Zigler corporation was Zig was around, still alive and kicking you know. It’s the same thing is, a name has no monetary value to it whatsoever Neil Patel: Sadly right, so you gotta build a company without the person Donnie Boivin: Yeah but that’s why you see companies like Google and I don’t remember the numbers but spent an astronomical amount of money on their name to figure it out. You know what to name their company to get that brand right out the gate. And that’s where you bring in the branding people always come in and tell it’s brand brand brand brand brand. My argument is, whatever you sell that’s the most important thing Neil Patel: It really is and without that independent brand, it just… No one knows the founder of Coca Cola is or Pepsi or any of that. Where are based right now? Donnie Boivin: Fort Worth Texas Neil Patel: Okay, did you know that the founder of West Fargo also founded American Express? Donnie Boivin: No I didn't actually Neil Patel: Yeah and nobody cares who is the founders of West Fargo are, I'm not trying to be rude Donnie Boivin: Right right right right Neil Patel: Those brands are still kicking today and they're bigger than when they were founded by whoever founded them Donnie Boivin: That's funny Neil Patel: Even American Express right? The founder’s no longer around what's funny is I got into West Fargo and I see pictures of visas and credit cards and think man if your founder was still alive... if they knew that they'd be pissed. They roll in on you guys like, you pitching visa? Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Right, that’s funny. Well it’s the same thing for any big brands, American Airlines, FedEx, you know all those big brands and the only thing I know about FedEx is the owner was a veteran, that's the best I can tell you. But that's one of the reasons he created it. Same thing with GEICO owner was a veteran, wanted to take care of the military, they forgot that somewhere along the way but you know Neil Patel: (inaudible) was all about the gecko Donnie Boivin: Yes 100% Neil Patel: Profitability… Berkshire Hathaway has grown an arm and a leg, I don't know how much bigger they've grown but they spend probably 100 + million dollars a year just on ads Donnie Boivin: I remember one time I looked it up to see how much they spent a year and they're not even like in the top 20 of companies that spend on marketing. Blew me away Neil Patel: Really? Donnie Boivin: Yeah but you also got to take into account, the stadiums that people are buying. AT&T is in the top, it got the Dallas Cowboys stadiums and a couple of other stadiums. It was really kind of impressive to see because you see GEICO freakin’ everywhere but when the time I looked at it, which was the last couple of years, they weren't even in the top 20 as far as most revenue dollars spent on marketing which is insane to me. Because they're literally everywhere. It's the only brand I've seen take so many different marketing lines. From the caveman to the gecko to whatever they just have so many different commercials under that brand that you can help and not think about Neil Patel: Yeah that's funny I was actually googling it the same time were talking, which company spent the most on advertising and then I landed on my own website Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Neil Patel: (inaudible) Alphabet over 2 billion a year, never knew that. Charter Communications 2.4 to 2.45, Verizon 2.6; General Motors 3.2; and Amazon 3.3; AT&T 3.5; Procter and Gamble this makes sense because they have so many brands 4.39; number one Comcast 5.75. Donnie Boivin: Isn't that insane Neil Patel: It is but when you also think about it, I think we also recall GEICO because they are much better at the ads, like AT&T has boring ads, geico's like ah cool the gecko... creative you know they're not all interesting but a lot of them are Donnie Boivin: Right, my favourite one is still is the caveman. I love how they work by like the posters and stuff, they get all offended because it's so bad even a caveman… brilliant marketing because they know that it's in the words of Gary Vee, “grabbing attention”. What did you think of this year's Super Bowl ads? Did you watch the Super Bowl at all? (inaudible) ...the game or whatever you're supposed to call it Neil Patel: Yeah and I looked up also GEICO as well, GEICO spends more than a billion a year on ads Donnie Boivin: Okay Neil Patel: So this year's Super Bowl the game was so paced but the ads were good as usual you know they’re creative... Funny enough I still remember the older ones, the Budweiser ones, what's that other one... Donnie Boivin: ...with Budweiser remember the frogs was a Budweiser (inaudible) Neil Patel: Yeah, yeah (laughs)... “Budweiser” Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Neil Patel: You know I don't think the commercials are as good as what they used to be maybe cause I was younger when I saw some…? Donnie Boivin: Well I think it's partially because of like YouTube and stuff you know, and now you're able to consumer things in other places. It's a lot harder to come up with something more creative Neil Patel: You know what's awesome? I was reading an article yesterday while I was watching the Oscars, and the article was talking about how Netflix is screwing over Hollywood and they're crushing it. And I was like ah, this actually makes sense they're screwing up the box office, and they're talking about the movie industry has still grown but the only reason they’ve grown even though the population increased is because of international expansion and they're charging more per ticket Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Neil Patel: And they've still grown by 10% is what the article stated I'm not sure how accurate that is. But it’s probably true Netflix and YouTube and Amazon they're just crushing all of it. I watch Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime more than you know like what's on TV Donnie Boivin: Yeah and you throw in the radio is completely dying again Neil Patel: Yeah podcasting Donnie Boivin: Yeah I mean last year alone 200 000 podcasts were launched, which became a whole industry of 600 000 podcasts in total. Which is still small in comparison if you look at other platforms but nobody wants to sit through commercials, you can literally do basically a Google search on a podcast platform and listen to the hell you want to listen to just like you would YouTube video. You know it's insane I love anything that knocks the big boys out. I don’t wanna really call it disruption or anything else but I love innovation that comes in because you get like your phone bills and all those stuff until they start getting some disruptors coming to the place. You cranking out a ridiculous amount of money for a month for a damn cell phone bill until somebody comes in and really you can almost operate without a cellphone nowadays through different technologies and everything else so Neil Patel: My daddy has his Apple watch Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Right, how old is he's gonna have a couple of years on you Neil Patel: Yeah I think 67 Donnie Boivin: Now how insane is that, that a sixty-year-old guy is wearing an Apple watch Neil Patel: He's actually older he’s 68 Donnie Boivin: I mean put that in perspective my parents are in that same age range right. I remember growing up as a kid on a rotary phone right? Way back you know I'm 42, Growing up on a rotary phone, they've gone through the whole gambit of when cell phones first hit their head place to now, wearing Apple watches and everything else. It's almost like they've gone from through the footstones to The Jetsons Neil Patel: It’s crazy Donnie Boivin: You've got a lot of cool things like Ubersuggest, and Manychat is that the other one you have? Neil Patel: No that’s Larry Kim’s. Manychat is someone else, I use MobileMonkey Donnie Boivin: Mobilemonkey, ok. What else do you guys produce with your company? As far as other lead generation, what are the tools do you guys have? Neil Patel: That's mainly it for lead generation although we still need to click leads from it. We're just having a fun time blogging and educating from YouTube to podcasting like it's been a fun ride and I hope the next 30, 40 years years are as well. It’s crazy I was thinking sitting here I’m thinking about, ah s**t my dad’s getting old Donnie Boivin: (laughs) why don’t you give me your dad's email address I'm gonna send him a copy of this so he can hear that you on a large podcast just said he’s old as hell Neil Patel: ...I need to spend more time with him. Donnie Boivin: Lot of people know this who follow the show, this is really really cool so I have a farm in Texas, and I'm so far out the country I can't get internet access out there. For me to get internet access I've gotta put a 40 foot tower with a satellite dish on top of that to capture Line of Sight, so I actually do all my podcasts on my dad's farm in their cabin in their secondary room, which you see - the green screen behind me. So every morning on Fridays traditionally when I record these, I’ll get up and Mom will make me breakfast in the morning I'll record podcast all day and I'll finish every Friday with a beer with my old man. You know it's like the perfect day Neil Patel: That’s cool, you know what's funny my family we have a ranch in Missouri and I've always thought about moving there but I’m like the internet sucks... out there in the wilderness, no one's around you... there's peace and quiet but I'm like I need the internet Donnie Boivin: You know I tell you man, my wife and I have always joked that we live in a campsite. We have land and everything else but we so far out the country, you don't hear cars, you’ll hear the occasional plane flyover but it's awesome Neil Patel: I know the feeling when I get to my wife’s ranch, it takes me when I arrive on the ranch it takes me 40 minutes just to get to the house driving on a dirt road like no one's around you Donnie Boivin: That's so awesome Neil Patel: (inaudible) Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Right it's so awesome, so how do people get in touch with you, how do they reach out, how do they find out more about your internet stuff and all that fun stuff Neil Patel: neilpatel.com Donnie Boivin: And why would people want to follow and consume the information that you're putting out? Neil Patel: To try to get more traffic, generate more revenue from your website all for free. There is no paid plans Donnie Boivin: So then I gotta ask what the hell is your revenue model? Neil Patel: We do have an ad agency and we have some other software companies that make money Donnie Boivin: Awesome, that's so awesome. Well brother here's how I like to wrap up every one of our shows, and I do stunt some people on this so get ready. If you were gonna leave the Champions who listen to this show, 78 countries around the world... If you were going to leave them with a quote, phrase, a saying, a mantra something they can take with them along their journey especially if they're stacked up against it and going through it. What would you say, remember this…? Neil Patel: So you're going on your journey you wanna succeed, you wanna do better in life I want you to remember one thing. Every good entrepreneur fails, what separates the good ones from the great ones is that the great ones learn from their mistakes and they avoid making the same ones over and over again. Now just for a minute think about that. If you as an entrepreneur make a mistake, and you learn from it and you don't make it again, and you make another 100, 2-300 mistakes and you don't make it over and over. Eventually that’ll just leave you with the stuff you should be doing. You don't have to be the smartest person in the world it's ok to make mistakes. You know look at me I'm not that smart, I did well because I learnt from my mistakes Donnie Boivin: That's awesome. Well man I really appreciate this you jumping in here and doing this with me man and hanging out I'm sure all the champions are gonna enjoy the hell out of this one. But honoured to have you on my friend, honoured to get to know you and if you're a drinker sometime when I'm in town I hit you up and we’ll grab a nice glass of rum of some sort or whatever you're into Neil Patel: Sounds good, thank you Donnie Boivin: Absolutely.

Enjoy this episode guys, gonna be a lot of fun Alright guys, it’s going to be a fun killer episode. I’m bringing in Neil Patel man. I know a lot of you that follow the show have been asking me to get him on here for quite a while so it should be a lot of fun to have this conversation so this is Donnie and this is Donnie’s Success Champions, Neil my friend, welcome to the show brother please, tell us your story. Who the heck are ya? Neil Patel: I’m Neil Patel. I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve created a few marketing technology companies, I blog at neilpatel.com I have one of the most popular marketing kills on the internet called Ubersuggest which funny enough, is free. That’s pretty much a bit about me you know, that’s - I was 15 and half, I was 16 and now I’m 33 years old. Donnie Boivin: Yeah no, it’s awesome. I mean I actually have used a couple of your tools that are out there I mean but how did you get into all this? I mean did you wake up one day and say I was going to be this technology influencer or what? Neil Patel: I don’t know if I’m an influencer but the way I got started in all of this was, I was 15 and half and I was picking up trash and cleaning restrooms, not the best job. But I did it, it paid money. I wanted a higher paying job so I was searching the web on much.com for high paying jobs I realised I wasn’t qualified for any of them at 15. I just wanted to get to 6 figures. So I ended up creating my own job board, ‘cause I’m like if you can’t find a job what do you do? You create a job board. Probably not the right logic and reasoning but that’s how I thought as a 15 and a half, 16 year old. Created a job board - popped it up, paid someone to help me out took all the money I saved from picking up trash and cleaning restrooms and guess what? It didn’t work. I created a sh***y ME2 version. And I was like, I thought you created a website and people just come! You know this better than anyone else, no one just comes to your website you gotta do marketing. And then at that point I learned about marketing, paid a few marketing firms. Got ripped off, lost my money. I was frustrated, I was broke at the time, learned it on my own - did a good job, still made no money but I got traffic. Then I was like hey, why not help out other people with marketing. I don’t know how to create a job board but I do know how to get traffic. Donnie Boivin: So you’re the traditional entrepreneur, not the one that you see hyped in all the media that you become an entrepreneur and hey, you’re a millionaire tomorrow type thing that you see online Neil Patel: No that wasn’t me, I wish that was me. Donnie Boivin: (laughs) You and me both. So most things are created out of necessity right? We go on a journey, we buy into some sort of pipe dream you know that this is all we have to do and we’ll sail off into the sunset type thing. But in reality, you like most of us got your teeth kicked in - realised what you did better than some, you just figured how to turn that into a business with the knowledge you had. And some might say you’ve had a little success of doing that so far. But you know, it’s fun to watch someone who’s created things - what are probably some of those big lessons as you were starting out, figuring all this out that you know maybe were a little tough to learn while others came pretty easy? Neil Patel: Yeah a few of them were one, you need to focus, I kept trying to do too many things you know, even at 16. When I was doing marketing for other companies I was doing (inaudible). I was 16 years old, got myself to 20 grand a month really fast. Which is good money, even today it’s good money. And then I lost it all and then I lost the money I made on top of that and what I ended up learning is you should focus. What I was investing in back then was considered cloud computing. There was no AWS or anything like that but I had the idea. I’m not saying that I was the first but I was one of the first to execute on it and I did a sh***y job. And I quickly learned that hey, you should focus. If I just focused and continued to do marketing because even if I was investing then maybe I got that 20 grand to 50, to 100 and I was eventually making over a million dollars a year just doing marketing and then I started expanding into other businesses. Like why, I should have just kept going in the vertical that I was in and that was a big mistake that I made. You know, as I was generating all this income and growing the business, I quickly learned that just because you do one thing really well, and you can even provide results - it doesn’t mean that you’re going to keep making money. So to give you an idea during the recession in 2008 I lost a lot of customers. When you do SEO and marketing for people they considered that WTF (inaudible). What the heck is this? And I ended up losing quite a bit of income from that as well. And another hard lesson that I ended up going through was as you’re creating these businesses no matter how smart you are, it’s about people. Funny enough I have a blog coming out on this tomorrow, I don’t know when this goes out and it’s discussing if I had to start over, what would I if I had to do it all over again. And it’s funny in there I talk about I would spend 9 years working for other people before I became an entrepreneur. See I’d work at a really large corporation like at Microsoft just to see how large companies work. I’d work at a really small startup and not a sexy one like that’s steering fast like Uber or Airbnb, I’m talking one that struggled because then it teaches you how to be creative and think outside the box and make this happen and it teaches you how to be scrappy. I’d also work at a startup that is doing really well and is skyrocketing, that’s raised over 10 million and just growing really fast - reason being, it shows you what companies growing really fast are like and how to keep up with them and how to deal with the mess that scaling fast causes and how to clean it up often. I”d work for a company that was doing somewhere around a hundred million, but not at a billion and see how they work cause organisationally they got to scale up, they got to improve themselves every time - it’s not that easy. Donnie Boivin: One interesting thing on that Neil is I spent 20 years as an employee before I launched and became what they call an entrepreneur right. I was in the sales game for 20 years, here’s the difference, now I love your idea of going to work for somebody else but to do that you’ve got to go in with the mindset that eventually you’re going to start your own business. +Cause I never went into that game - I always thought I was going to do the “make a crap tonne of money being a sales guy” and retire until I realised how much more money money the companies were making than I was. It just took me 20 years to get there Neil Patel: You hit the nail on the head, this process only works if you know you’re going to start a business cause the key to working at all these different company sizes is to learn specific skills from them. From hiring to recruiting, to dealing with bullsh** problems and internal politics, because if you want to build a big business and I learned this one the hard way, this is why I tell people to work for others is people is what grows the company. It’s not just your idea, it’s not the CEO it really comes down to your kingdom. It doesn’t matter how smart you are, you could be the next Elon Musk, or Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates. If you don’t have an amazing team, you’re not going to do well. And I didn’t learn that lesson until - I kid you not - this year. It was actually last year but close enough. And this lesson was really hard for me because it taught me that if you have the right people, you just grow super fast. Like this year without getting into my revenue, we’ve had 3X in growth. Donnie Boivin: I mean making an extra 10 bucks a year, that’s pretty good bud - well done. (laughs) Neil Patel: Really? And we’re well into the millions right, I’m not talking 2, 3, 4 or 5 million we’re substantially more alright, we’re a 8 figure plus business. But to 3X, technically more than 3X but to 3X our size being bootstrapped, self-funded. That’s crazy growth Donnie Boivin: Right, well but I mean going back to the days, they always taught Henry Ford his genius - his only genius was hiring people that were 10 times smarter than he was in all these unique fields and categories, whether you love Henry Ford or hate him. I love the idea behind it is, there’s a whole interview done where they were trying to bash him in the interview, “You’re not a very smart guy, why are you the one making all these decisions?” and he says look, I hit this button and I immediately have the head of engineers on the phone, I hit this button I have the head of sales on the phone, I hit this button and you know he has all these geniuses around him and once he found that team of geniuses he was able to do what he was good at which was, lead. While his geniuses were actually going to work and build his business and do all the things they do, You know it’s a brilliant business model Donnie Boivin: How did you realise that, that's what you need to do for your business? That you couldn't just be chief cook and bottle washer? Neil Patel: Yeah and funny enough i'm not even the ceo of my business so I’ll be the guy who just focuses on driving the traffic. I had a roommate when I was living in Vegas, and his name is Mike. At the time I was getting like a few hundred thousand visits to my neilpatel.com website and now im at 3 point something million visits a month. And Mike was just like, hey you don’t do anything with this traffic let me just figure out how to make some money with it And Mike made more money faster than I could from my own traffic. Mike didn't go to college, I’m not saying going to college requires anything, he not booksmart Mike’s really creative. He is smart overall, he’s not the type that sits down and he studies and he does well on a test. Mike’s more smart like he needs to solve a problem, he’ll learn and figure it out really fast how to solve that problem but he’s not like a hey let me study for a bar exam type of guy right? And he’s always did better than me and I was like how is this possible? SAnd Mike’s just like, I don’t do it. I just go find people who are really good in this one thing, who have done it in this space and I work with them and that’s all he did. He just recruited a ton of people who are really good at a specific task, that’s all you do and if they didn’t have a proven track record in the same exact space he wouldn’t deal with them Donnie Boivin: Wow, that’s pretty smart. Is Mike looking for another job by any chance? Neil Patel: He’s not Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Neil’s like I’m protecting that dude Neil Patel: Yeah, he’s actually my partner now right, so… Donnie Boivin: So your lane really is driving the traffic and that’s kind of your specialty, your niche to get traffic to sites. Was it just trial and error, you know? You screwing up a lot of things until you figured out what worked to drive traffic or was it, did it kind of come natural to you? Neil Patel: I was pretty good at it early on, I was always a computer geek. But when I look at traffic I’ve been doing this for 17 years now so overtime… Donnie Boivin: Well I hope you’ve learned something in that timeframe right Neil Patel: But more importantly I had no choice, think about: 16 years old, growing up on the Orange County California in a city that has beautiful sunshine, we didn’t have an AC. My parents didn’t have an air conditioner in their house cause we grew up in the poor part of Orange County and we weren’t very broke but my first job was cleaning restrooms and toilets, and I was doing whatever I can to live a better life. And I was just like, I had no choice but to figure it out - I didn’t have tons of money or other people helping me. I just had no choice but to learn it well if you want to do it well, you’ve got to do it on your own if you don’t care then that’s fine Donnie Boivin: No that’s awesome. So, what’s kind of the big vision with this whole thing? Are you going to become the next internet mogul for lead generation and… Neil Patel: I don’t know what my next step is other than just keep driving traffic and I’ll just keep driving traffic and growing the leads. I let Mike, he’s the CEO - figure the rest out. Seriously I just haven’t figured it out Donnie Boivin: That’s awesome. So we’ve got listeners in 78 countries, a lot of entrepreneurs are listening to this show and small businesses trying to figure out how to drive further traffic to their sites. What are some simple tips and tricks or easy things that they could implement now that would help them drive traffic to their businesses Neil Patel: Sure I’ll give you simplest hack you can do out there and this thing works like a charm ok? So one, if you’re already getting traffic, you can type in the keywords that you already rank for and if you don’t know what they are you look for them in your google analytics, your google search console will tell you and type in those keywords into a free tool called Ubersuggest. In Ubersuggest, it will give you a long list of other related keywords that also get traffic. Take those keywords, shove them in your content. And don’t just shove them in there, reword them you know jazz it up, so that way it’s also related to all those other keywords. If you rank for that one keyword, it will trigger all the other keywords and it’ll be easier for you to rank for it and how much extra traffic you can get The next thing I would want you to do is take all your closest competitors, if you don’t know what they are search for them on Google with the keyword you’re trying to rate for. Type in those URLs into Ubersuggest, it’ll show you how much traffic they’re getting from each country, what are their top pages, what keywords are driving business to this top pages and who’s even linking to them. How many social shares do they have, from Facebook to Pinterest you know, you get the point And what you wanna do is, you take their best pieces of content and you create better versions of it, publish it on your site, reach out to the people who linked out to them - ask the to link out to you and then on top of that, reach out to all the people that shared their content and ask them to share yours Donnie Boivin: Alright, badass. And you built the whole site, Ubersuggest right? Neil Patel: Yeah built it for free. Technically it cost me Donnie Boivin: Sure but somehow you’re using that as a lead magnet into your business... Neil Patel: Not yet.There’s no lead magnet on it, we don’t click emails, you don’t register for accounts Donnie Boivin: Then why the hell are you doing it? Neil Patel: Well fun and games Donnie Boivin: Just to game the system? Neil Patel: No no no. Fun and games like, can I beat my competition and screw over their business Donnie Boivin: (laughs) So you did this all to just see if you could do it? Neil Patel: Moreso to disrupt the industry but yeah, that would be an entertaining experiment Donnie Boivin: Love that, that’s brilliant. It’s so funny, I’m not a techy guy right. You know I pay other people to do a lot of that s***t for me because you know my lane is being the face of the company, center of attention, doing all the interviews, going on stages and all that. You’ve got a little bit of that in you as well because you did a crap ton of videos, you’re putting out content and everything else. Would you rather be behind the computer screen or in front of it? Neil Patel: I don’t care either way, as long as traffic goes up into the right I’m happy. I don’t care about the numbers Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Right on, right on. Neil Patel: To go back to that question if you had to tell me Neil if you had to start all over again, do you want to be the face of the company? I would say no Donnie Boivin: You want to be the backend? Neil Patel: Yeah. And there’s one reason, it’s harder to sell a face It’s easier to sell a corporate band. Donnie Boivin: That is a 100% true. Because everybody judges from what they see, not what they know - the analytics and the background Neil Patel: Yeah, you even think about this. Who’s one of the most popular people in the business arena that you can think of, name one person Donnie Boivin: In business arena right now Gary Vee is carrying a lot of nobility, Simon Sinek you know guys like that Neil Patel: Yeah, Tony Robbins, there’s a ton of them. Now Gary has created a company, so has Simon Sinek… I don’t know if Simon Sinek actually has yet. Donnie Boivin: No he hasn’t yet. Neil Patel: Tony Robbins definitely has. But if you look at them, they’re definitely doing an amazing job. Tony’s always doing well I don’t know him. Gary, I don’t know him well. He’s done an amazing job as well, built a great company. But the moment a company is tied to a personal brand it’s not worth as much as if you’re just, a Coca Cola or Microsoft or Berkshire Hathaway. When Steve Jobs passed away it sucked but Apple is still a bigger company than it was before Steve Jobs was in the driver seat. I’m not saying he didn't have a huge impact, he didn’t lay the roadmap. I’m not saying he didn’t do anything like that. He did a ton even for the future of Apple, to make sure that they’re going at the right trajectory. But when a company is named after a person it’s not as valuable as when it’s named after a random thing that you can end up selling The moment that key person goes away, for example you know I hope Gary Vee lives forever in technology chambers, the same with Tony Robbins or even me. But when we go away, what happens to that traffic and user base that’s following us? I’m nowhere near as popular as them but in general I know my business will go down. Tony Robbins without Tony Robbins will not make the same amount of money period. I don’t care who’s running it Donnie Boivin: Well prime example is a guy... you’re younger than I am I don’t know how old you are but... Neil Patel: 33 Donnie Boivin: 33? Alright, I got you with about 10 years. There’s a motivational speaker named Zig Ziglar. Zig had one of the largest brands in the world once upon a time. But now that Zig is no longer around his business is still here but it will never reach the peaks of what Zigler corporation was Zig was around, still alive and kicking you know. It’s the same thing is, a name has no monetary value to it whatsoever Neil Patel: Sadly right, so you gotta build a company without the person Donnie Boivin: Yeah but that’s why you see companies like Google and I don’t remember the numbers but spent an astronomical amount of money on their name to figure it out. You know what to name their company to get that brand right out the gate. And that’s where you bring in the branding people always come in and tell it’s brand brand brand brand brand. My argument is, whatever you sell that’s the most important thing Neil Patel: It really is and without that independent brand, it just… No one knows the founder of Coca Cola is or Pepsi or any of that. Where are based right now? Donnie Boivin: Fort Worth Texas Neil Patel: Okay, did you know that the founder of West Fargo also founded American Express? Donnie Boivin: No I didn't actually Neil Patel: Yeah and nobody cares who is the founders of West Fargo are, I'm not trying to be rude Donnie Boivin: Right right right right Neil Patel: Those brands are still kicking today and they're bigger than when they were founded by whoever founded them Donnie Boivin: That's funny Neil Patel: Even American Express right? The founder’s no longer around what's funny is I got into West Fargo and I see pictures of visas and credit cards and think man if your founder was still alive... if they knew that they'd be pissed. They roll in on you guys like, you pitching visa? Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Right, that’s funny. Well it’s the same thing for any big brands, American Airlines, FedEx, you know all those big brands and the only thing I know about FedEx is the owner was a veteran, that's the best I can tell you. But that's one of the reasons he created it. Same thing with GEICO owner was a veteran, wanted to take care of the military, they forgot that somewhere along the way but you know Neil Patel: (inaudible) was all about the gecko Donnie Boivin: Yes 100% Neil Patel: Profitability… Berkshire Hathaway has grown an arm and a leg, I don't know how much bigger they've grown but they spend probably 100 + million dollars a year just on ads Donnie Boivin: I remember one time I looked it up to see how much they spent a year and they're not even like in the top 20 of companies that spend on marketing. Blew me away Neil Patel: Really? Donnie Boivin: Yeah but you also got to take into account, the stadiums that people are buying. AT&T is in the top, it got the Dallas Cowboys stadiums and a couple of other stadiums. It was really kind of impressive to see because you see GEICO freakin’ everywhere but when the time I looked at it, which was the last couple of years, they weren't even in the top 20 as far as most revenue dollars spent on marketing which is insane to me. Because they're literally everywhere. It's the only brand I've seen take so many different marketing lines. From the caveman to the gecko to whatever they just have so many different commercials under that brand that you can help and not think about Neil Patel: Yeah that's funny I was actually googling it the same time were talking, which company spent the most on advertising and then I landed on my own website Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Neil Patel: (inaudible) Alphabet over 2 billion a year, never knew that. Charter Communications 2.4 to 2.45, Verizon 2.6; General Motors 3.2; and Amazon 3.3; AT&T 3.5; Procter and Gamble this makes sense because they have so many brands 4.39; number one Comcast 5.75. Donnie Boivin: Isn't that insane Neil Patel: It is but when you also think about it, I think we also recall GEICO because they are much better at the ads, like AT&T has boring ads, geico's like ah cool the gecko... creative you know they're not all interesting but a lot of them are Donnie Boivin: Right, my favourite one is still is the caveman. I love how they work by like the posters and stuff, they get all offended because it's so bad even a caveman… brilliant marketing because they know that it's in the words of Gary Vee, “grabbing attention”. What did you think of this year's Super Bowl ads? Did you watch the Super Bowl at all? (inaudible) ...the game or whatever you're supposed to call it Neil Patel: Yeah and I looked up also GEICO as well, GEICO spends more than a billion a year on ads Donnie Boivin: Okay Neil Patel: So this year's Super Bowl the game was so paced but the ads were good as usual you know they’re creative... Funny enough I still remember the older ones, the Budweiser ones, what's that other one... Donnie Boivin: ...with Budweiser remember the frogs was a Budweiser (inaudible) Neil Patel: Yeah, yeah (laughs)... “Budweiser” Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Neil Patel: You know I don't think the commercials are as good as what they used to be maybe cause I was younger when I saw some…? Donnie Boivin: Well I think it's partially because of like YouTube and stuff you know, and now you're able to consumer things in other places. It's a lot harder to come up with something more creative Neil Patel: You know what's awesome? I was reading an article yesterday while I was watching the Oscars, and the article was talking about how Netflix is screwing over Hollywood and they're crushing it. And I was like ah, this actually makes sense they're screwing up the box office, and they're talking about the movie industry has still grown but the only reason they’ve grown even though the population increased is because of international expansion and they're charging more per ticket Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Neil Patel: And they've still grown by 10% is what the article stated I'm not sure how accurate that is. But it’s probably true Netflix and YouTube and Amazon they're just crushing all of it. I watch Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime more than you know like what's on TV Donnie Boivin: Yeah and you throw in the radio is completely dying again Neil Patel: Yeah podcasting Donnie Boivin: Yeah I mean last year alone 200 000 podcasts were launched, which became a whole industry of 600 000 podcasts in total. Which is still small in comparison if you look at other platforms but nobody wants to sit through commercials, you can literally do basically a Google search on a podcast platform and listen to the hell you want to listen to just like you would YouTube video. You know it's insane I love anything that knocks the big boys out. I don’t wanna really call it disruption or anything else but I love innovation that comes in because you get like your phone bills and all those stuff until they start getting some disruptors coming to the place. You cranking out a ridiculous amount of money for a month for a damn cell phone bill until somebody comes in and really you can almost operate without a cellphone nowadays through different technologies and everything else so Neil Patel: My daddy has his Apple watch Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Right, how old is he's gonna have a couple of years on you Neil Patel: Yeah I think 67 Donnie Boivin: Now how insane is that, that a sixty-year-old guy is wearing an Apple watch Neil Patel: He's actually older he’s 68 Donnie Boivin: I mean put that in perspective my parents are in that same age range right. I remember growing up as a kid on a rotary phone right? Way back you know I'm 42, Growing up on a rotary phone, they've gone through the whole gambit of when cell phones first hit their head place to now, wearing Apple watches and everything else. It's almost like they've gone from through the footstones to The Jetsons Neil Patel: It’s crazy Donnie Boivin: You've got a lot of cool things like Ubersuggest, and Manychat is that the other one you have? Neil Patel: No that’s Larry Kim’s. Manychat is someone else, I use MobileMonkey Donnie Boivin: Mobilemonkey, ok. What else do you guys produce with your company? As far as other lead generation, what are the tools do you guys have? Neil Patel: That's mainly it for lead generation although we still need to click leads from it. We're just having a fun time blogging and educating from YouTube to podcasting like it's been a fun ride and I hope the next 30, 40 years years are as well. It’s crazy I was thinking sitting here I’m thinking about, ah s**t my dad’s getting old Donnie Boivin: (laughs) why don’t you give me your dad's email address I'm gonna send him a copy of this so he can hear that you on a large podcast just said he’s old as hell Neil Patel: ...I need to spend more time with him. Donnie Boivin: Lot of people know this who follow the show, this is really really cool so I have a farm in Texas, and I'm so far out the country I can't get internet access out there. For me to get internet access I've gotta put a 40 foot tower with a satellite dish on top of that to capture Line of Sight, so I actually do all my podcasts on my dad's farm in their cabin in their secondary room, which you see - the green screen behind me. So every morning on Fridays traditionally when I record these, I’ll get up and Mom will make me breakfast in the morning I'll record podcast all day and I'll finish every Friday with a beer with my old man. You know it's like the perfect day Neil Patel: That’s cool, you know what's funny my family we have a ranch in Missouri and I've always thought about moving there but I’m like the internet sucks... out there in the wilderness, no one's around you... there's peace and quiet but I'm like I need the internet Donnie Boivin: You know I tell you man, my wife and I have always joked that we live in a campsite. We have land and everything else but we so far out the country, you don't hear cars, you’ll hear the occasional plane flyover but it's awesome Neil Patel: I know the feeling when I get to my wife’s ranch, it takes me when I arrive on the ranch it takes me 40 minutes just to get to the house driving on a dirt road like no one's around you Donnie Boivin: That's so awesome Neil Patel: (inaudible) Donnie Boivin: (laughs) Right it's so awesome, so how do people get in touch with you, how do they reach out, how do they find out more about your internet stuff and all that fun stuff Neil Patel: neilpatel.com Donnie Boivin: And why would people want to follow and consume the information that you're putting out? Neil Patel: To try to get more traffic, generate more revenue from your website all for free. There is no paid plans Donnie Boivin: So then I gotta ask what the hell is your revenue model? Neil Patel: We do have an ad agency and we have some other software companies that make money Donnie Boivin: Awesome, that's so awesome. Well brother here's how I like to wrap up every one of our shows, and I do stunt some people on this so get ready. If you were gonna leave the Champions who listen to this show, 78 countries around the world... If you were going to leave them with a quote, phrase, a saying, a mantra something they can take with them along their journey especially if they're stacked up against it and going through it. What would you say, remember this…? Neil Patel: So you're going on your journey you wanna succeed, you wanna do better in life I want you to remember one thing. Every good entrepreneur fails, what separates the good ones from the great ones is that the great ones learn from their mistakes and they avoid making the same ones over and over again. Now just for a minute think about that. If you as an entrepreneur make a mistake, and you learn from it and you don't make it again, and you make another 100, 2-300 mistakes and you don't make it over and over. Eventually that’ll just leave you with the stuff you should be doing. You don't have to be the smartest person in the world it's ok to make mistakes. You know look at me I'm not that smart, I did well because I learnt from my mistakes Donnie Boivin: That's awesome. Well man I really appreciate this you jumping in here and doing this with me man and hanging out I'm sure all the champions are gonna enjoy the hell out of this one. But honoured to have you on my friend, honoured to get to know you and if you're a drinker sometime when I'm in town I hit you up and we’ll grab a nice glass of rum of some sort or whatever you're into Neil Patel: Sounds good, thank you Donnie Boivin: Absolutely. Thanks for tuning in today, that was a fun conversation with Neil I really really enjoyed it, you know you really should come hang out with us. I run 2 Facebook groups, that are engaging as hell and a lot of fun to be a part of. One is called Donnie's Success Champions, https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuccessChampion and it's just a bunch of bad asses all going for it and climbing and leveling up in life. The other one is called So You Want To Podcast, https://www.facebook.com/groups/SYWTP/ in there we talk all about how to get into podcasting, launch a show, you know find some success, advertising - both these are free groups, so come and hang out with us and let's see if we can all rise together. Thanks guys, see you soon!

We’re headed to Miami with the Mikestir in tow to talk about 2 Fast 2 Furious for Lap 3! In this episode, we talk about the movie’s neon underglow, the great entrances for Roman and Monica, and why it’s okay that both Roman and Han are both known to always be snacking (or should I say hongry?). Joey unveils a franchise-spanning theory that kind of blows everyone’s mind, we dive deep into the casting of “who almost was” for 2 Fast 2 Furious, and the Joes unveil the (long-awaited) character quiz they built from scratch. Will Joe and Mike be able to guess the car that Wes sent in? Did anyone respond to our tweets? Is Mike more of a Roman or a Tej? Listen and find out!

Let's get to the meat of the issue, shall we? The boys discuss one of the most difficult debates out there, so the whole world can just stop already. Is a hot dog a sandwich? This argument is just the wurst. Nick turns into a brat saying that hot dogs most definitely are NOT sandwiches. Meanwhile, Mike goes on a roll arguing that they are. Our judge, Ryan, relishes in the fact that he doesn't even have to come up with points. Discussion topics include: the National Hit Dog and Sausage Council, split rolls, food trucks, Oscar Mayer, the Food Network, apple sauce, Anthony Bourdain, Jeff Mauro, the Illuminati, the electoral college, and smushing hot dogs with your feet. Is Mike a petty child who screams like a baby? Has Ryan ever watched competitive food eating? Does Nick worship Moloch, god of sacrifice? Find out by hamming it up in: Is a Hot Dog a Sandwich?

The boys get biblical in this new episode. Debating a fan-picked topic, Ryan and Nick find that this was way more difficult than their research normally tends to be! Ryan denies that the Nephilim--giant fallen angels--ever existed. Meanwhile, Nick gets religious arguing for them. Judge Mike tries to stay on the righteous path and to figure out which side is correct. Discussion topics include: Goliath, the Kings James Bible, Aragat Construction, Andre the Giant, graveyards, cloacae kisses, the US Supreme Court, the Seraphim, and feeding giraffes. Is Mike actually a middle-aged lady? Does Nick know the definition of "allegedly?" What about giraffes gives Ryan anxiety? Fall from grace and listen to: Are Nephilim Real?
Mike and Gene venture into their final battle regarding Gene's obsession with down syndrome. Does Gene cross the line? Is Mike mad enough to quit the show again? Is Becky complicit in Gene's intellectual terrorism? Yes to all three.
Is Mike overreacting to the New Helmet Rule? Isn't it better to overreact in advance and make sure that everything is in proper order before the season? Shouldn't the focus be the use of the helmet as a weapon? Florio also covers the betting odds on where Khalil Mack will end up, the anthem policy and more questions from the #PFTPMPosse.

My guest today is Mike Domitrz, host of The Everyday Mindfulness Show and the author of Can I Kiss You? Mike is a leading voice in helping kids, parents, educational institutions, and the US military discuss dating, sexual decision-making consent, and sexual assault. He speaks to tens of thousands yearly around the world, providing positive how-to skill sets and helpful insights to romantic relationships, sexual intimacy, and being safer. His podcast features special guests and a unique cast of over 70 people who stop by to add to the fun and thought-provoking conversations. Is Mike a dream-chaser? You bet! He’s on a mission to create a culture of consent and respect through the Date Safe project. TWEET: “Be a part of creating a culture of #consent with Mike Domitrz” @datesafeproject Can I Kiss You? How does a book like Mike’s come about? He explains why he wants to bring awareness to behavior and why people want to keep reading the book. His goal for the book was to transform our culture and how it views sexual decision-making. Sexual violence is definitely not a new thing, but dream chasers like Mike are on the move to create a safer environment. TWEET: “Every #survivor deserves to have a #voice.” @datesafeproject What are we learning from TV and movies? We need role modeling of the behavior we are seeking, and guess what? You won’t find that behavior modeled in movies and on television. Mike explains why his “ask” system is better than the status quo in relationships and why the paradigm needs to be shifted. We don’t even realize how often these types of violations happen. TWEET: “We’ve only started to create a safer—not safe—environment.” Where does mindfulness come in? Am I really aware of how my words and actions are impacting culture? Probably not! In the workplace, at home, or with friends, we just don’t realize the power of our words and how many people can be affected by them. Why do we judge others? Why do we sexualize them? Why do we say inappropriate things to them or about them? These are the questions Mike wants you to consider! TWEET: “Giving people specific words and skill sets to use takes out the #sexualization.” @datesafeproject Guest Recommendation: Mike’s ACTION for a dream chaser to take: “Ask for what you want and then respect the answer.” OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [1:30] Mike’s book [2:32] Nothing new about sexual violence [3:24] When the victim is blamed [4:35] How this Mike’s dream mission relates to chasing dreams [7:00] The effect on workplace environments [8:50] How TV and movies affect behavior [11:50] The prevalence of sexual assault [13:28] Owning your words and their impact [16:35] “It’s not me!” [19:43] Words for parents [22:53] How Mike learned about the skill sets needed [25:00] How Mike’s work has changed over 20 years [26:55] It’s never too late [28:10] Skill sets to keep in mind [32:30] Has there been improvement?

Join Mike and Micki, along with intern Tiny Rick(y) each week for the Weekend Round-up, learn about what happened Today in Geek History, play along with your newest favorite game, "IS IT REAL OR IS IT FAKE?", get the 411 on all your BFFs during the Slumber Party, and finally ending the night with shout-outs. Tiny Rick(y) has his own intro and we welcome THE AMANDA HAPPENING back to the show! Why is Mike such a bully?! During the WEEKEND ROUND-UP, Micki watches a lot of cartoons and Mike talks about garage sales and weddings. Where can you buy Shasta soda?!? We close out the first hour geeking out about SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON and the exciting stuff coming out of Marvel Studios, including a taste of the Doctor Strange trailer! No TODAY IN GEEK HISTORY this week because Mike has too much SDCC news to share! Listen to our reactions to the trailers for LEGO Batman, Justice League, Arrow, and Wonder Woman! We also get our first glimpse of MMAD favorite, WILD DOG!! Is Mike's "desire-based" guessing for IS IT REAL OR IS IT FAKE? going to help him this week? We play a MEGA MAN-inspired song by Kirby Krackle (http://kirbykracklemusic.com/) before Micki and Ricky talk about the STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO show they went to. How long can you hang in the pit? During this week's SLUMBER PARTY, we ask each other "What is the worst meal you ever had to eat?" and not surprisingly, disappointment comes up more than once. The show takes a turn for the feels when Mike shares a haunting cover of a RADIOHEAD classic from America's Got Talent. Are the SyFy original movies in a shared cinematic universe (Damn you SHARKTOPUS!)? We give a #PodernFamily shout-out to The Mr. BS Show Podcast (https://twitter.com/themrbsshow) and Mike talks more about the PICC Newborn Nursery (http://www.picc.net/) that the Central Ave Mini Storage Garage Sale donated to.

It's the Gothic vs the cosmic. This week Ryan and Nick take on two titans of classic horror literature and pit them against one another for Mike to decide who is the better author. It's Edgar Allan Poe vs H. P. Lovecraft! Ryan flies on a raven to defend Poe's honor while Nick gets wet with the Shogoths for Lovecraft. Will Ryan's English degree finally work to his advantage? Will Nick's background in horror fanboyism allow him to claim victory? Is Mike going to pretend he's read either author and offer his own useless commentary? Will Grant ever return with the coffee? Tune in and find out! It's Edgar Allan Poe vs H. P. Lovecraft!
Welcome to Episode 70 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! Not only is the hypnotic storm a hypnotic rash now, but it’s delivering the kind of results you’d expect from a high-quality anabolic steroid! If you like podcasts and listen to a lot of them, stop now! This is the only podcast you will ever need. Check out the show notes below and scroll down to listen to the podcast directly on this page. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you. Here are the show notes for this episode: Plausible deniability! Angus Young’s 61st birthday, and chicken at a coffee shop drive through! Is Mike the real-life Gus Grissom? April 1st when recorded! Chris is still talking about the wacky endings and ruining them. Mike says donuts “are full of wheat and they kill you!” How to order Swiss Chalet chicken at a Country Style Donuts shop… April Fools Day is illegal in China. Episode is all about focusing on the positive! Mike discusses AC/DC and the travesty of Axl Rose filling in for Brian Johnson. Another reference to Virgil “Gus” Grissom! Chris acts like a morning guy on an FM station. After a bad start, he begins a Ken Sweatman story. People complain about everything! Complaining becomes habituated. Life is good and bad. Where is your focus? What do you want? This is the Magic Question! Present Me vs Target Me. What do I want the Me to be at some definable time? Focusing on Present Me creates a stuck state. Mike runs into clients who even after they fix things, have to know why it happened. Mike thinks it goes back to Freud and psychoanalysis. If you’re better, who cares? If a tree falls in the forest… Chris says “lariss” instead of hilarious. Present is where we’re stuck. We need momentum and resources to move forward. Chris uses a fairly weak soccer ball metaphor that nearly gets the point across. It becomes a Ken Sweatman story. Mike manages to exit the story by talking about transformation. Mike’s wife is a personality genius and says you have to look into the abyss of your own personal darkness. Otherwise, we won’t change. Self-awareness is critical. Mike references Chris’ move to Hypno East from Toronto. Baby steps…Chris uses a business example and claims he does all the marketing (true) but also attempts to claim he creates the brilliant products too, obviously thinking Mike’s senile and he’ll get away with it. He wisely backs away from this dangerous thought… Take baby steps! Move forward each day, in business, or any area of life. Take action! Keep walking, running, whatever you need to do, and you’ll arrive at your destination. Chris begins a financial lecture about asset classes, stocks, mutual funds, etc. Baby steps again! Mike is silently frustrated, attempting to get away from the endless baby step discussion. Mike admits to being a senior citizen and collects a pension! My F! I’m buying a Tesla! It’s all coming apart in this podcast, but after yet another mention of baby steps, they move on. Chris promises to tell how he got his wife with an April Fool Tesla joke, but is lying and never mentions it again. (Chris is proof-reading these show notes and will have to finally explain the hiliarious joke in the next podcast!) The Grinder Model! How to call powerful high-performance states to the executive. The laundry list begins… 4 Levels of the Grinder Model are universally applicable. On the bottom isPerformance. How well, how elegantly will you do something? Next one up is State. This will ensure good performance. The more powerful your State, the better your Performance. Physiology will shift State. Chris says “slunshed” which is not a word. Mike pretends it doesn’t bother him, but then talks about driving his elbow into Chris’ head. There is a connexion. How would I move if I was a powerful person? Who is confident, and how would he or she move? The AS IF Frame! If I was confident…how would I stand. Mike invokes Kim Kardashian, because she’s visually quantifiable… Breathing is top level, and shifted in Qi Gong, Tai Chi, martial arts, yoga, etc. Support powerful states with breathing and physiological shifts. Mike mentions Paul Federn, Watkins and Watkins, Gordon Emmerson, etc. Ego states speak, act, and even look different from each other. Make sure the right one’s in the executive! Mike performs at Western University every year, where the kids are about 18 years old. How does he do it? Chris is obsessed with doing the laundry. Mike is calling the best state to the executive. Hypnosis shows work the same way! Call up the volunteers who present ego states that fit the criteria of the desired show. The right state in the executive will love being there! Watch our for teachers! They often keep their teaching states in the executive when dealing with adults! Mike explains how to breathe in the right state! Hypnothoughts Live 2016!

Men staring at women as they pirouette…Is this hypnosis? News Flash! You’re never asleep in hypnosis. Watch our for PGO spikes though…Novelty, surprise and shock, can trigger an inroad to the unconscious mind. Monsters and Magical Sticks. Great book! Erickson just says “That’s right…” Chris is in full Ken Sweatman mode by now, and you can tell Mike’s losing interest. Chris is obsessed by the boss and the woman’s dress. Mike is very lenient with Chris. Mike says “Yes, Ken Sweatman!” Empowering Question: What old rules have you been living your life by, and what new rules will you write today, to replace them, as you move toward your goals, with alacrity. Gus Grissom Update: Gus Grissom was 150 lbs and 5’7″. Metaphor: Matty and the wooden guns.

90’s-Teen-Sex-Comedy-Tricycle ends! We’re jumping off! Get ready for episode 75. Does American Pie hold up? Do 90’s teen sex comedies hold up in general? Did we learn any lessons from our in depth expose? Is Mike upset Rich edited out an instance where he held a moment of silence for Mena Suvari thinking she was Brittney Murphy? No, yes, maybe, yes. In that order. There. I saved you an hour. Still listen to the episode though, we love you!
Dire Weasels: A real(ish) play 5e Dungeons and Dragons podcast
There is a house in Cloud City, They call the Yellow Cob, They think they're not that kind of cult, Soon they'll learn otherwise. You know in Mario, that underground theme? It's such a good theme. It goes along well with the atmosphere below, this type of unknown that on occasion pauses to let you hear past the drops of water to hear the void breathing, the wind sweeping through the caves. It's interesting. Being so far underground, I wonder if our heroes can hear what unknown plans our DM Forrest is cooking up for them? Mike, Madison and Grimgar come face to face with an armored man, the one who Madison punched in the face. Yeah that one. With the "Cult" taken care of, what else do we learn? What about this chicken Bob Blaw Blah, or however you spell the damn thing... What's going on with Grimgar? What about Sturella, how is she involved in all of this? Is Mike's underwear just splatted with jizz? Will Madison ever find somebody to love? We are, and totally will forever be @Direweasels. Currently we are Forrest @walk6070 as your DM, John @absurdistkobold as Madison , Ivana @arcanevice as Mike, and Cody @codedude3 as Grimgar.

Kubricking it up! We’ve never seen The Shining, but by now we’ve done a ton of Kubrick movies on the podcast. Does this horror classic hold up? Is Mike too pissed off to write this intro because the Panthers lost last night? If Peyton Manning goes missing is Mike a suspect? You didn’t hear nothing. Snitches get stitches. I swear. You keep your mouth shut. All losing and no winning makes Mike a dull boy.

Episode 19 Sponsored by:The UnexpectedThe SOJCast finally returns in 2013. Hopefully this wasn't unexpected.
