EL PRINCIPIO DEL FIN (Relato) – 00:45 2. INTRODUCCIÓN HISTÓRICA – 06:55 3. HOMO DEGENESIS – 26:10 Cuando en el año 2073 un enjambre de asteroides asoló al planeta aniquilando a prácticamente todo organismo vivo, diez mil años de civilización fueron vaporizados en un solo día. Han pasado 500 años. La Tierra está envuelta en una nueva Edad del Hielo. Los glaciares esculpen su camino a través del viejo mundo. Europa y África son las únicas zonas habitables que quedan. Mientras Europa está embarrada en hielo y nieve, África ha florecido dentro de un paraíso subtropical. De las cenizas de una civilización destruida, una nueva ha surgido. Colectivos, clanes y tribus luchan por la hegemonía en un mundo en pleno renacimiento. Sectas apocalípticas levantan fortalezas en el paisaje. Los clanes forman nuevos núcleos urbanos. Ciudades fronterizas surgen tras el asentamiento del polvo de los asteroides. Un pueblo al completo se encuentra en continuo movimiento para recoger los artefactos de las generaciones perdidas… Se puede decir que la humanidad se ha recuperado. Sin embargo, en los oscuros recovecos de este nuevo mundo, en la sombra de los cráteres algo se esconde, se está moviendo y espera para reclamar la supremacía. Esto es un proyecto que pretende realizar la ficción sonora del mundo de Degenesis. En un intento de, primero, acercar este fascinante universo a quien todavía no lo conozca, de un modo más accesible; y segundo construir herramientas para facilitar y complementar las partidas con esta narrativa sonora.

Our guest today has her own story. She, like her absolutely gorgeous mother, is a being suffused with Love. In the midst of Portugal's insane epoch changing civil war: one that transformed the nation from an autocratic dictatorship to a freedom loving Democracy, Isa Guitana was born to naturalists on the Ocean. Almost as if Aphrodite arose out of her Shell right there on the beach in Lisbon, our beautiful Isa came into being. Isa's story is shaped by her affection for depth, song, movement, water, wildness, and her love for family and children. She adores Pattabhi Jois and is not embarrassed by it. She loved him dearly, and he continues to hold a place in her heart. Isa spoke to us about her introduction to seminal Spanish Ashtanga yoga pioneer Tomas Zorzo. After meeting him, she made her first trip to Mysore, India in 2002, to practice at the “old shala' with Sri. K Pattabhi Jois. She traveled alone and fell in love with India. And still today, India holds a very special place in her heart. It is the country where she first lived alone, where she met her Guru, Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois, where she conceived her first child, and where she met her now husband, Jay Wong. She opened the first dedicated Ashtanga Yoga School in November 2003 in Lisbon, Portugal, with her partner at the time Tarik van Prehn, while she was pregnant with her first child, Arjuna, who was born right inside the yoga school two months later. As a practitioner and mother of three, Isa shares with us how her experience of practicing through pregnancy was very different with each of her children. Arjuna was born 2004 when Isa was in her twenties, her daughter Kailani was born 2014 when Isa was in her thirties, and baby Koa was born last year in 2020 at age 42. Isa shares with us her different approaches to practice that naturally took place with each pregnancy, as well as her different approaches to giving birth. We talked about the miracle of life, and how the practice of motherhood and the practice of Ashtanga yoga work together to bring us to a place of surrender and awe. Both are a constant reminder that can connect us to the present moment, the breath of life, and the realization that so much is beyond our control.

Jay Wong always dreamed big, strived to create change for the people around me and deeply cared for everyone in my network. His dream growing up was to one day, change the world. To impact and inspire others that he comes across to live their own truth and be in alignment with their purpose. After a period of soul searching and vagabonding in Asia in 2014, he immediately thought about how to achieve the next dream. Broken, broke, and clueless on how to make money or get a career, his obsession for learning about business, marketing, and adding value to influential people (when I had no value to give) began. Since then it’s been a powerful journey for him – becoming the host and producer of the top-rated podcast; The Inner Changemaker, (debut as the #1 Self-Help podcast in iTunes in 2015), building up a profitable online education company, speaking all over the world, documenting my development process across all social media channels and much more.

In today’s episode of #REALTALK, our host Cherry Rose interviewed the person near and dear to her, Jay Wong. Jay and Cherry Rose got connected as they worked together for a year on this #REALTALK Podcast, which covers the mental health journey of founders and investors in the tech industry.  Jay Wong is the founder and CEO of Podcast Your Brand, one of North America’s top podcast agencies. He works with large enterprises and thought leaders in the field of podcasting. As the interview progressed, Jay shared that podcasting can help entrepreneurs if it is correctly utilized. Unlike other channels, like social media, podcasting is a dialogue that you create with your community. It is not the content that matters, it is the context. How many people can relate to you? How many people can you reach out and peak their interest? It is a win-win situation for both the entrepreneurs and your listeners. Podcasting is a platform used to communicate to a wide range of people, especially if podcasting is your target audience.  As an entrepreneur, podcasting really helped Jay in expanding his network. He tried different things before and podcasting was the last thing he tried. It really did change his life.  Podcasting can capture your journey and document your breakthroughs. You will be able to see your transformation over time. To conclude their wonderful conversation, it is important to stand for yourself and what you believed in. Through podcasting, you can share with people your beliefs and the values that you’re holding to.  This episode will give you insight into how #REALTALK moved from stories to this national platform. Enjoy! What You Will Learn Jay Wong’s journey to podcasting and its value How podcasting can share your message and let your voice be heard How to get started with your own brand The importance of expanding your network and collaborating for a more meaningful conversation Trends this year around podcasting and other audio-based platforms Taking a stand for yourself and what you believe in Learn more at https://realtalkmvmt.com/

What separates a thriving podcast that reaches iTunes no. 1 spot and a podcast no one's ever heard about? On this episode of the ROI Online Podcast, podcaster Jay Wong shares the formula he uses to help clients create successful, profitable podcasts.You may know Jay Wong from his highly successful podcast, The Inner Changemakers Podcast. However, he actually has been behind some of the biggest podcast launches in the thought leadership space. This is because Jay has honed a podcast strategy that delivers serious results, even if the podcaster doesn't feel like their content has what it takes to make it to a no. 1 spot in iTunes.When he first started his podcast, Jay didn't have an audience or a business or a product. He didn't even have an email list. He was just trying to figure out how to get his platform in front of the right people. And he did that by inviting people with large audiences onto his show and pushing content out on a consistent, regular basis. This same strategy (with some optimization for different platforms) has delivered success for his clients again and again.Among other things, Jay and Steve discussed:What you need to start a thriving, successful podcastThe power of audio platforms and why they deliver resultsHow YouTube's algorithm compares to traditional podcastingWhether you should push out something just to do it if you're out of contentThe 5 Connectors you should use to tell stories that exciteYou can learn more about Jay here:podcastyourbrand.coListen to Jay's podcast: The Inner Changemakers PodcastEnroll in the QuickStart Academy today to learn how to develop and implement a proven growth strategy that grows your ROI, your business, and your confidence.

If your just starting out in business there is nothing more valuable, especially in todays market, then to be able to grow your network and be able to find the right people in your network. I think the best piece of advice I have for you is whichever direction you want to be able to go in to, whatever niche you want to go into study that niche. But, give yourself a deadline. Give yourself maybe a couple of weeks, a month max to really get your knowledge up to par were you understand the language, you could hold your own in a conversation. The reason I say a deadline is because you want to get your knowledge up but you also want to be able to take action. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-inventive-journey/message

I am your host, Kathleen Booth. And this week, my guest is Jay Wong. Who is the CEO of podcast your brand. Welcome to the podcast, Jay, Jay (00:29): Super excited to be here with you, Kathleen and excited to dive into a bit of podcasts. Kathleen (00:34): Yeah. before we get too deep in, maybe you could start by sharing your story and who you are, what you do, how you came to do it. Jay (00:46): Sure. For sure. So I think like a lot of people that love the medium of podcasting, you know, started with, you know, high hopes of, Hey, let's go out, build an audience and be able to serve that audience. Right. And so I figured out how to launch my own podcast about five, six years ago now podcasting was very different in, in 2015 than it is at the time of recording this. And I figured out how to get my own show into the top 100 back then, there was this, you know, we're not just talking about like new and noteworthy, if some of your listeners and business owners know what, what I'm referring to, but actual top 100 in the iTunes section. And that actually got me my first, like 50 to a hundred email subscribers, right? Like this is how different podcasting was, you know, back back then. Jay (01:40): And from there other individuals always, you know, reached out other business owners, other entrepreneurs that said, Hey, I saw what you did with the podcast. Could you do it with our brand? Right. And so thus started, you know, a little bit of consulting. We built an online program. We did two day intensives. We spoke at all the biggest, you know, podcast conferences. And, you know, one day when we were running a two day intensive one of my favorite kind of offers and services that especially when events was like a thing that people were, you know, when people could attend and, and, and actually that's in the past tense, unfortunate, hopefully it comes back because it's still one of my favorite, like, you know, models. And, and I just absolutely love it. But we, I remember we had, we had a lady at one of our events. Jay (02:27): She came up to me, she said, Jay, I love what you stand for around podcasting. I love, you know, your way of thinking about it in terms of just making it a real marketing channel for our business. She was in real estate at that time you know, super successful on, in her own. Right. And she said, look, I'm just never going to do any of this. And I that's, that's just the truth. Right. but I would be open to writing you and your team, a bigger check, if you could figure out how I could just show up how I could just show up record. Right. And we can implement all those awesome things that you just showed us in the last couple of days. And I'd be very open to do it with you for the next year. Right. And so that, wasn't the first time that I heard a abbreviated offer like that for our agency, our done for you. Jay (03:15): And to end, you know, service it wasn't something that I woke up that day and thought, you know what, today's the day we're going to do an agency. But we worked with a couple other clients. We worked with her, we figured out what actually works in our process. And now we've gotten the opportunity in the last two and a half years to be really behind the scenes of hundreds of top 100 launches. And not only did we get the shows and the brands into the top 100, we could talk more about that, but really we build them a customized ROI plan, right? So for some of the companies we're working with, they're looking to drive new members. They're looking at this as a retention strategy. They're looking at this as, as a new way of promoting their products and services. And those last two and a half years have been such an amazing adventure. And I say two and a half years because, you know, we all know so much can just happen in such a short period of time, but more or less, that's ultimately how we got all the way to the agency podcasts, your brand that you see and hear about today. Kathleen (04:15): That's awesome. And it's so interesting to me to hear you talk about that journey because I had my first podcast right around 2015, the same time you did. And I mean, I did a terrible job at it because I just literally knew I wanted to podcast and I kind of jumped in without a really good plan. And I mean, it was a great learning experience, but, but it, it sort of taught me all the things not to do. You know, and then I, and then I ended that podcast and started this one, which has been a completely different experience. And as I've, I mean, I'm now like three years in, and as I've progressed with this podcast, I've seen podcasting really kind of take off and other people get more interested and, and then covert hit. And it was like, I thought podcasting was hot. And then it was just not to be goofy, but like, I mean, everybody, like I'm in a couple of online groups with heads of marketing from a lot of different companies and all of a sudden it was like every single person was talking about podcasting, which I just thought was so interesting because it's been around forever. Like it's been around a long, long time Jay (05:22): Hundred percent, hundred percent. Kathleen (05:24): Yeah. And it's just taken off in recent months Jay (05:27): For sure. I, I, we, during the months of April and may, we had so many companies reach back out to us and said, Hey, remember that idea that you pitched us six months ago or a quarter a year ago. Right. We're going to do it now. And, you know, because we believe this would be an amazing time to be able to kind of capture some of that awareness and be able to add our 2 cents on the craziness and madness of the world, you know? And right around that time, we were the the, the show for Proctor and Gamble for their alumni network. And you know, man, we learned so much in, in those compress two, three months, I think we did like 10 launches. And within like a week apart of each other, it was just a crazy, crazy, you know, quarter. But you're absolutely right. More and more people I think, but even three years ago it was, it went from this like new media, you know, maybe it's the future of voice, right. Like it was right around there. Should it be a nice to have versus now I think a lot of companies are looking at it and saying, okay, we need to be the voice for whatever the industry, whatever the niche that we stand for and that, you know, this might be one of the ways that we can be able to do that. Yeah. Kathleen (06:43): It's, it's fascinating. Now you mentioned Proctor and Gamble. You've done work with all kinds of different brands when it comes to podcasting. Can you name a few others? Jay (06:58): Yeah. So you know, we worked with another company called StackAdapt. They built their own native advertising, programmatic ads platform. I'm pretty sure they're the largest one specifically in Canada outside of Google. But certainly they've won tons of awards in the U S as well as in Canada. We've worked with, you know, if people are familiar with like student works or college works or college pro pretty much every company in North America that has that model, we've partnered with them to be able to grow their retention and grow their communities. A lot of, you know, influencers, bestselling authors not just Amazon best selling authors, but real you know, credible, amazing individuals that, you know, have digital presences and digital backends as well. We tend to do really well for those guys as well. Kathleen (07:57): And you help companies through all aspects of the podcasting life cycle. You know, when you and I first connected, I, I, and we talked and we were talking about kind of what you do with podcasters. I think my initial response was, you know, we've talked a lot about podcasting on this podcast. It's, it's sort of funny, it's, it's a hot topic as one might expect. And I'm always looking for, what's a different way we can talk about it. And one of the reasons I was really excited to chat with you is that a couple of the things that you brought up really are things that we haven't covered yet. You know, number one, being how to really come out of the gate strong. So when you launch your podcast, I think the Holy grail is getting in the top lists the top 100 or the top of this. So I want to start with that because we've covered in the past, like how to strategize what your podcast should be about and how to record and all of that. But let's talk about how to launch really successfully. Yeah. So Jay (08:56): Really quick even added caveat for your listeners, is that what we're about to talk about right here? Even if you have a podcast this is still applicable, right? It's it's and, and yeah. So I think that's, that's, I get asked that question all the time. Hey, Jay, we've been podcasts in the last couple years, these are our stats. This is where we're at, right. Is it too late for us to hit the top 100, hit the top 200? You know, I would say this before we dive in as well, which is internally. And I think we talked about this internally. We refer to hitting the top 100 as the end of phase one, right? Because it is not the end all be all you're you're, it's not like the whole, it's not like there's a pre top 100, you know, life is pretty top 100 and life post, top 100. Jay (09:43): But I do find that if we're going to spend all this time and all this energy and all of other people's energy to hop on the podcast, I think if you want to be able to launch very strongly, then it's going to be one of your better opportunities to get out of the gate. Right. And to be able to position the podcast and position to host, even create the right platform for future guests. Right. And just make your own guests feel amazing to be able to be featured on any platform. Right. I think these are just some of the things that you might be thinking about. When we're looking at a launch specifically, the iTunes algorithm works on a couple components, but really the main one is being able to increase your subscribers of that podcast, right? Anything that you could do to be able to do that, whether you're running a, you know, a contest, rather you're writing paid ads, there's so many different ways of going about it. Jay (10:44): But a lot of times for our own clients, we build them based on their email list, based on the assets that they have are ready. We build them essentially a plan to be able to capitalize on their current assets, to be able to drive those subscriptions so that they can get out of the gate really, really strong and really form a community around their podcasts, because that's really prepping us to go into phase two as well. You know, talking about the ROI and new traffic. It just positions us to be able to win the whole game that much better. Does that make sense? Kathleen (11:14): Yes. And I have a bunch of questions. So I've done a lot of reading about launching new podcasts and I've read different things. And I'm curious to get your take. The first question is I have read a number of articles that say that when you launch, you should launch with more than one episode. So it's not like, Hey, we've launched here's episode one. It's like, Hey, we've launched here's episodes, you know, one through five or one through eight. Sure, sure. But I've also read the opposite. So I'd love to get your opinion on that. Jay (11:48): Yeah. You know, it's I, I've been seeing this trend more and more right. Where they'll essentially, and these are like really well known athletes or well known celebrities that are doing this as well. Keep in mind any strategy that you see any type of popular influencer or popular celebrity doing chances are that you cannot actually replicate what they're doing because of that celebrity factor. And they probably are bringing, you know, millions and hundreds of thousands of followers. Right. We've worked with people where you know, they'll have 2 million and Instagram following, right. Their numbers and their downloads. It's not going to be comparable right. To somebody that might not have that social capital. And, and, and, you know, you're not bringing that into the launch with that all, you know, so I've seen this trend where they'll release like a trailer. Right. Jay (12:39): And it's like, it's coming soon, you know? And it's like a, maybe like a three to five kind of like a movie trailer I imagine. Right. And then maybe a couple of weeks after then they'll start releasing on like a weekly schedule. What have you I think of the launch like this, as in Kathleen, let's go try out a, this new restaurant down the street. We've heard amazing things about it. Our friends are friends with the owner. Right. And when we go in there, can we, you know, since we're trying out the place, let's order a couple appetizers, let's get a couple drinks, let's go through the whole experience of it a little bit. Right. And so I'm a very big believer that you definitely don't. I think you don't want to just release a trailer. You don't want to just leave them with one episode. Jay (13:25): You know, if you look at the statistics of podcasts is right and, you know, for any of your listeners are marketers and business owners, you get, you guys could, could look this up as well, but I'm pretty sure when they released stats earlier this year, people spend on average, you know, six plus hours listening to podcasts is right. And I think they also spend on average listening to five to six different shows. So think about this, you're introducing them to a new show yet. There's only one episode there. Right. So we'd like to mix it up in that first batch, anywhere from three to five episodes. I think when you go beyond five, it gets a little, almost like too much. Even at five, I would feel like, Ugh, I don't know which one is going to be the best suited for me. Right. Three, four definitely would work. Right. Just in terms of just, Hey, here's a bit of a solo, here's a, maybe a longer form interview. Here's a, you know, some, you know, our, our welcome type of, you know, episode, right. So it just gives them kind of a full experience of what is to come. Right. Kathleen (14:26): That makes sense to me. And it also intuitively makes sense because I, I feel like in the last couple of years, we've really become trained as human beings to expect, to be able to binge content, you know, the whole Netflix model of releasing the whole season at one time. And there's this level of frustration that arises when all of a sudden you're, you don't have availability, especially if it's something you really like, you know? And so I can see where that would make sense, because if I, if I'm come in and I get a taste of episode one, and I'm like, this is really good. I'm going to want, I just did this. I just did this. I'll also give an example. And I don't know how many episodes they released at once, but I discovered the, the podcast, nice white parents, which is by Serial and the New York times. Kathleen (15:18): I just discovered it this past weekend. And I listened to, I think it was eight episodes or 10, one of the two, the whole, the whole podcast is it's. Cause it's not a, a podcast that goes on forever. And I literally listened to all 10 episodes in like a day or so, because it was good. I got hooked and I wanted more. And I think it's very easy to lose that momentum if somebody listens to one and they like it, and then they don't have that habit developed yet. Because to me it's all about building a habit. And if you haven't formed a habit yet, and then you are not able to satisfy that craving with another episode, I think it, it, it jeopardizes the longevity of your listener. Jay (16:01): It's so good. What you're saying right now, because one of the things that we have to remind our clients, right. And just keep this in mind, but like, are I, I'm all for like, and podcast, this is, what's so beautiful about podcasting nowadays, is that there, you know, now Hollywood studios, right. Are, are shifting gears and they're deploying resources to be able to create some amazing audio programs. Right. Just think of your favorite type of true crime show. They're doing some really interesting things with like the history, you know channel and, and that, and that type of genre. But the shows that we specifically work on are a lot of times, you know, businesses, CEOs, and there's a whole brand behind it. They chances are they have different products and services. Right. And so when you're introducing a podcast, we're not just training are the hosts or the CEO, or whoever's running the, or whoever's the voice of the program to be able to create and get into the flow of creating the episodes. Right. You're also training the audience to receive the, the, the, the episodes from you to actually see that every single week or twice a week or whatever the cadence is right. To say, Oh yeah, that, that is what that's, what's, what's going on. So to your point, forming that habit right away, it's very, very important right. Out of the gate. Kathleen (17:22): Yeah. Now, so, so if somebody starting out, you would have them do a couple of episodes for the launch. Talk me through the rest of your process for making sure that launch is strong. What are you doing to, to drive people to those first episodes? Jay (17:39): Yeah. So, you know, it's, it's funny. Cause we, we had to make this distinction for even art, the business owners that we work with because we realized that some of them had, you know, this is one of the first launches that, that they were doing. Right. And so they would be after the first week, they would be, you know, pretty, you know, energy like exhausted, right. Because they, you know, they've just gotten a flood of emails and DMS and messages and questions and they're all social channels are being blown up. Right. But we always flick at the launch as this nice little two to three week period where once again, we're training the listeners to actually be able to tune in, we're publishing a little more on the front end before we go into a weekly cadence or a biweekly cadence, whatever it ends up working out for said business, but you're really forming, I think the beginning of the community around your show. Jay (18:36): Right? So a lot of our clients they'll have some sort of a community aspect of this, right? Some of them, even the Proctor and Gamble one that we mentioned their main, their whole thing was, Hey, let's drive new members in our alumni network. So there's, this is more of like a, a paid, you know, network, you know, you gotta be a part of it. Right. But there are, you got, gotta keep this in mind, we call this the triangle effect within podcasts, your brand, which are three things that you want to really cycle your audience through. Right. The number one is the podcast or your main content channel, number two, basic for marketers and business owners out there. But it's going to be an email list. Right. So just even getting that cadence down, because so many times how guilty are we as business owners that we know that every time we email the list or we do it right. Jay (19:27): You know, that that list is an amazing asset for our business. But so many of our clients, they, you know, maybe they, they, they, they don't know what to say. They, you know, they don't have the podcast right away. So once again, it goes back into training and that third piece is that community piece. Right. So whichever section that you're in, right. And this is something that we train there, the, our clients' teams on, if you're on the email list, you're promoting to the other two, right. If you're on the community, you're promoting to the other two. So if you're, Hey, have you heard the last podcast episode, Hey, go over here, sign up for our webinar coming up. Right. If you're on the email list right there, they're already signed up or what have you, Hey, you know, have you heard the latest episode? Jay (20:08): How have you joined our discussion in our community? Right. So it's, it's th does that make sense? So you're kind of, it seems like you're everywhere, but really there's just three places. Right? And if you think about that breakdown from a consumer perspective, right? You've got their phone covered, you got the social media covered, you got their inbox covered. And the podcast really covers all those other moments that they might've been alone, you know, and they might've been alone cleaning the house. They might've been alone gardening. They might've been, you know, alone just wanting to be able to geek out on a certain topic, you know, and they might be listening to, to a show about inbound marketing, right. So it's all those little moments that our hosts and our, our, the people we work with, they get a chance to connect with their perfect customer. Kathleen (20:52): So true story. I listen to podcasts when I vacuum, when I grocery shop and when I exercise. So the examples you gave are totally spot on. So my question about that though, is, does that mean you have to have already a large email list in order to do this well, like, you know, what, if somebody comes to you and they don't have a big list. Yeah. Jay (21:17): So I think this is a really good question because not everybody has 2 million Instagram followers and not everybody has this massive email list, even though they might've been told that, you know, for months and years. Right. look, I think you have to understand that you're starting from where you're starting at, you know, and we got to leverage, you know, if you have none of these assets, there is no community, there is no email lists. Well, we're going to, in that process, we're going to help you start building some of these assets. Right. And it's going to go more into our, you know, our phase two, which is focused around new traffic ROI. Right. But you know, those are ultimately, you have to really have those, if you want to be able to maximize, we believe the podcasting channel and that whole experience around it. Jay (22:04): Right. If you have an email list and you haven't been utilizing it, heck we've had clients where they come with a massive email list, but it's not really the right email lists for where they're going. Right. And so I think you have to understand that you're starting from where you're starting at. You don't have to have all three before starting, but certainly within all of our clients, we get them the amazing top 100 podcasts. And typically we have an email list, even if it's just, you know, a 50 or a hundred people that we're starting out with. And, and we kind of start from there. Kathleen (22:36): Got it. And you kind of gave me the segue into the second thing. I was really excited to talk to you about, which is that there's a lot of debate out there within the world of marketing and podcasting about like why, what you should expect to get out of hosting a podcast or producing and putting one on. And I hear most people say, don't expect it to be a lead generator for your business. Don't expect to get deals from it. And I think in many cases, that's true, but I was really intrigued that when you reached out to me, you talked about having had some clients that have landed really big deals from it. And it's, there's no straight line equation. I mean, podcasts, all podcasts are different, et cetera, et cetera. But I wanted to kind of pick your brain on this, this notion of how a podcast becomes a part of the marketing mix to help you grow your business. Jay (23:35): I love this question and I love this topic. And I think personally, the last few years has created, and I don't want to use this like lightly, but really it's created a whole industry where people are creating content because they feel like the idea of creating content is moving their brand and business forward. And it's not to say that sometimes, you know, you have to track every single piece of content. You can't create content just for fun anymore. You know, all marketers are ruining this. It's not to say that. But from a business owner standpoint, there are a lot of things that come up, whether it's Q and a, whether it is your objections. Okay. And maybe it's actually be easier if I share a little bit of a case study, think, go for it. Yeah. Like maybe I can do that because we worked with a client and, you know, we figured it out for her that her perfect client works with them. Jay (24:37): Usually for about two to three years, she, you know, on a basic simplicity level, she helps people right around that half a million, you know, revenue part to be able to go into multi-millions. Right. It's not just a sales game, but it's actually like infrastructure operations, understanding finances team. Right? Like there's, and that's why it usually takes that two to three year period. Right. For her, we figured out that there was about four different stages that, and I'm not talking about like, just like four stages of like your IP, like your, for profit activators. You know what I mean? And I'm not necessarily referencing that, but four stages that she sees her clients kind of graduate from, right. Maybe stage one they're working to in the business. They're, you know, they can't see any growth. Right. They have a big vision, but not really anybody to support them. Jay (25:32): Right. Like that, that would be stage one, stage four would be, they could sell their business, but they would never actually, you know, want to, you know, because they're actually so happy there, you know, 90% removed from any type of fulfillment, they just get to be their visionary. Right. so I'm just using this as a bit of example. Well, we created one of these episodes call, you know, the, the, the four stages of business growth. We obviously tailored it to her brand. Right. And till today, like we created this like late 2018, still to the day, I'll get messages from her team and her cause we've become good friends by now say like, show those, showcase people, applying for calls with them, right. Applying to chat with their sales team or with her. And they'll reference that, Hey, you know, I heard this, this episode, right. Jay (26:21): And I I'm, I'm a stage one entrepreneur, or I'm stuck in stage two. I've been stuck in stage two for the last two years. Right. And I would love to work with you because I, one day I would love to be in that stage four that you talked about. Right. And, you know, we're talking relatively higher ticket, you know, certainly, you know, done for you type of type of service. And so for her, she's made a massive ROI from that. Right. And you know, once again, I think we have to tailor it for every single business. Right. But I would invite your listeners to think about this. What are all the biggest questions, most common questions you get asked, what are the biggest objections that come up over and over again? How can we start tailoring and creating content that really looks to address some of these things, because what we're really doing is you're optimizing for the future sales conversations, right. We all have experienced what it's like to sell to somebody or somebody on your sales team has certainly experienced this, where they made an offer too early, right. Where they pitched someone that was not really receptive or certainly would never even, you know, when it's not even at that stage where they could even think about it. Right. So we've all had that negative experience. Jay (27:40): We've also all have hopped on calls where it wasn't really even an enrollment call or a sales call. Right. It was like, the person already knew what our values were. They knew what exactly what it is that we did. They knew what the result was. They knew what the outcome was. They were just checking logistics when, when can we start? Okay, cool. Right. It's more of a friendly conversation than anything. So that's really what we're trying to emulate. Right. And we do this with every single client because their strategy is going to be different. You know, some of those companies, I referenced earlier, student works as an example for them, it's not about generating the lead on the front end. It's about how they could get their entire company listening to the podcast so that they renew for year two, that they were new for them. Right. And so that changes exactly what we're going to talk about. That changes what content we're going to talk about. Right. For them, it's about how can we embed that customer journey and weave it constantly in to, to the content that they're creating that one day, if they're a part of the company, if they're lucky to be a part of the company in the next three, four years, they might have a chance to be able to see these types of results. Does that make sense from a Kathleen (28:50): Yeah. So wait, I'm fascinated by this second example you gave of basically like preventing churn via podcasts. So how, how do you create content that gets everybody in the company listening or like maximizes the number of people? Jay (29:02): I think, I think the, I think a lot of times people get really especially in this industry, right. In the marketing industry, everything is all about like numbers. Right. Which is totally understandable. So it's like, how many times are we posting? What are the downloads? It's, it's these types of questions versus for our clients. We're trying to get the most out of all the content pieces, right. If we're comparing, create one intentional piece of content, we're, it's kind of like we're planting that content on an external channel. Right. But internally, and all of those indoctrination email sequences were pointing to very specific episodes. It's never just, Hey, let's listen to listen to our podcasts. You know, it's listened to this episode on our podcast, right. Hey Kathleen, Hey, check out our top 100 podcasts. Jay (29:55): That's good. Right. It's good. It's it's nice. But Kathleen, I saw that you were doing this project around inbound marketing. We just created this episode around inbound marketing, but I think you would find relevant. Right. So when we think about the types of content, our clients are creating it's how, where is it that they want their customer to go? Where is it that your listeners want their customers to go? And how can you talk about the vision of it? Not necessarily the straight up tactics of today, there's episodes for that. Right. But where is it that you could go? Right. And that's really how we're kind of essentially having these mini sales conversations every single time. And people still find amazing value from it because ultimately they see it as a reminder right. Of them going to where they, that, that ultimate destination, you know? Jay (30:52): And I can't take full credit for this. There was a there I had a conversation with Dean Jackson. So shout out to the Dean who has a number of podcasts is one with Joe Polish. Another one where he does like live coaching in it. So, you know, he asked me one time, what I thought the true purpose of a podcast was. And, you know, I don't remember exactly what I said, but we came to the conclusion that the true purpose of a podcast is really to have an ongoing conversation. Right. It's kinda like if, you know, we all have people in our lives that are like the fitness fanatic people, you know, that every single time we see them, it feels like we should update them on like our high performance habits or, Hey, we're trying a new diet or, Hey, we, you know, I just started working out again. Jay (31:39): Right. That's an ongoing conversation with that person versus let's say they might be chatting with you. And it's a little more about business marketing, right? That's that ongoing conversation. So if you run a podcast, if you have any content marketing, what's that ongoing conversation for you, what's that ongoing conversation that you can remind your customers of that they're on this journey with you preferably for a very long period. And that way you're increasing that LTV, you're being able to increase retention over time. And that's really what we start training our clients to start thinking about and leveraging the medium in this way. Kathleen (32:13): I love that concept of kind of understanding your buyer's journey or that your customer's journey and, and tapping into that to create podcast content that resonates at different stages. But I think there's a fine line there of, you could easily veer into something that's very self promotional or very product centric. So how do you advise your clients about keeping the podcast content educational, you know, and not, eh, but like still relevant to what you do and to that customer journey? Jay (32:46): Yeah. So it's, it's a great point because I think when you tell people, Hey, go, you know, here's like, here's no rules go sell, right. It ends up becoming this like long, crazy, you know, sales pitch it's, you know, great content has that educational piece as well as, as entertaining pieces. Right. And so, you know, we it's w this is a lot of coaching really, when we comes down to the content critiques of our, of our clients is how can we just get them out of like, you know, that, that expert teaching mode, right? How can we get them sharing a little bit authentically about who they are, right. Because don't forget what you said earlier. And at the beginning of the show, podcasting has been around for a very long time before it was called podcasting before this top 100 stuff, before all the ROI conversations, it used to be two or three people that liked talking with each other geeking about geeking out about a certain topic. Jay (33:45): And it didn't matter how many people are listening. Right. They just throw it the recording online, raw recording, right. Maybe a little bit of music here and there. And it would be called internet radio. Right. That's like the true essence of, of podcasting. I think that's why a lot of people love it. It's because it's this unfiltered raw version. It feels like we're listening to a conversation that we are privy to. And we get a chance to, you know, seat in the back and not really have anything to say about it. And we get to listen to some of these amazing conversations. So how can we balance what it is that we want to be able to, you know, sell and, and that, that vision, and, you know, the customer journey, but also still have those human components. Right? So a lot of it comes down to storytelling, right? Jay (34:35): A lot of it just like good marketing, you know, we have these things called the five connectors, right. And these are connectors. They don't all start with C. Right. But they're story connectors, you know, they're, they're, they're little nuanced things that you could do to be a better storyteller in the moment, right. In the podcast scenario. And that's ultimately how we try to find that balance. Because each time we have a client, they're not just becoming the voice for network marketing. They're not just becoming the boys for alternative medicine or conscious families or whatever the topic is that they stand for. We're also helping them find their voice. And it doesn't mean that they don't know how to speak. And a lot of them are very good speakers. A lot of them are great content creators, but what's that, what's that cadence, what's that flow. That's going to work for the, or right. And that requires a little more artistry and a little more repetition for all of our hosts. But that's ultimately what we try to do is balance that because you don't want it be too scripted. And, you know, this is where you insert the call to action and to, you know, overly produced. But at the same time, you don't have it to be this like loosey goosey type of, you know, whatever you feel like podcast experience. Kathleen (35:50): Yeah. It's so funny that you bring this up because I just had this conversation with somebody who's thinking of starting a podcast. And he said to me, I'm not a good interviewer. And I was like, well, one way to get better is to just start doing it. And you know, like the more you have to hear yourself, I'll never forget when I first started podcasting listening to my own episodes. And I said the word. Yeah. And I still do it. Like when I start my sentences, you know, after a guest speaks, I'll say, yeah. And yeah. And this, and yeah. But what about that? And you become really aware of like, not only your own verbal ticks, but you know, your strengths and weaknesses and how you, how you are as an interviewer, as a conversationalist. And I think, I mean, at this point I'm like almost 170 episodes in, I don't, I don't have to do a lot of prep because like, I, I am so comfortable. Kathleen (36:39): It's like second hand to me. But when you start in the beginning, you definitely, I agree with you that you don't want to be overly scripted, but you want to have like a loose framework within which to play that you can fall back on if you get stuck, if you're not sure what to ask, there's that degree of comfort there that, Oh, okay. I have these five open ended questions that I know I can ask, and it will just set my guest off on, you know, riffing on a topic that they love. But that's something that I think I discovered on my own, cause I wasn't working with anyone, but I could see where it'd be valuable, valuable to have a company like yours. Kind of guiding me in that process and shortening the learning curve in the beginning. Jay (37:23): Yeah. Well, I mean, we all know frameworks and this is something we have to tell everybody, right. Which is like, look, we can talk about frameworks. We could probably have an entire different podcast episode on just frameworks, solo episode frameworks, interview frameworks, right. And, and, and, you know, storytelling frameworks and from a high level, you know, but at the end of the day, there's nothing that beats that natural curiosity, that natural energy or flow that that host has. And as you probably have experienced, and it probably can attest to, it takes a little bit, it takes just a little bit of time to be able to find that, that, that comfort level. Right. But if business owners or marketers out there that do a lot of content marketing right there, chances are, they're going to love you no longer form conversations even solo episodes. And I think it translates those skills, communication skills translate quite well when it comes to podcasts. Kathleen (38:20): Yeah. Totally agree. Well, we are coming up on our time. So a couple of things as we wrap up the conversation the first is, can you give me just some quick examples of clients you've worked with, who've seen amazing from this, whether it's a great launch or great ROI, you've peppered a few in the conversation, any others that you want to mention? Jay (38:43): Yeah. So we worked with a, a different SaaS company. They have multiple verticals that they're going after. We created pretty much think of it like a mini series per vertical, right. So much so that each salesperson responsible for whichever vertical or whoever you're chatting with, they would essentially have once again, these audio assets that they could go back to the client or a prospective client with, or go back to the prospect with and say, Hey, we actually created, if you're in the real estate niche, we created this mini series on how to be able to leverage what we do in the real estate world. Right. So context right away, they were able to get a client on the, like the second day of their launch, because we had launched with three, four different episodes. They had segmented their lists and said, Hey, if you're in this niche, listen to this one. Jay (39:31): Right. Don't just support the launch. But listen to this episode that just created some great conversation starters there. Right. and, and they were able to see an ROI right off the bat. Other of our clients have went on, built the community, built up a bit of audience. They didn't have that email list coming in. And then maybe six months down the line, they opened up a coaching program. Even if it was like a beta version of side coaching program, they opened up their mastermind that they've been wanting to do. Right. So you can kind of pick and choose which product and service you want to be able to go. But yeah, so those are some off the top of my mind. Love it. Kathleen (40:08): All right. Totally changing gears now. So I have two questions I ask all of my guests at the end of the podcast, and now it's your turn. Okay. the first one is this podcast is all about inbound marketing. And I'm curious, is there a particular company or individual that you think is really knocking it out of the park when it comes to great inbound marketing these days? Jay (40:31): So it's so funny because like you told me that you're going to ask me this. So the first company that comes to mind is HubSpot for whatever reason. Absolutely. And you know, I know that you, you know, there there's some, you know, affiliation and all that good stuff, but yeah. I mean, look, we're talking about them, so it's, it's working. And you know, I, I think they do a superb job. Kathleen (40:55): Oh they are absolutely amazing. And you would not be the first person who mentioned them, so that's definitely to their credit. Jay (41:03): Yeah. I added another point. Yeah, Kathleen (41:05): Seriously. Second question. Most marketers that I talk to, one of their biggest pain points is that they have a really hard time keeping up with just all the developments in the world of digital marketing. It's changing so quickly. So how do you personally stay up to date and keep yourself, Jay (41:24): Okay. This is a pretty interesting question because I think we're living in a world where it's noisier than ever. And I see this happen to business owners and marketers, all the, where they get so excited about it. It could be anything. It doesn't mean the thing that they're getting super excited about doesn't, you know, is not applicable or, or, or works. Regardless of it's a mini webinar or a quiz funnel, podcasts, a tech talk, right. Like it, all of them work. Right. But I'm a big believer of mastery of platforms. And, you know, I'm not saying that just because we have all these amazing things for podcasting, it doesn't mean that your business like it, it might not be a good fit for your business, right. It's, it's, I'm not a big believer that everybody should have a podcast. Every business should, should, should do that. So the way I actually keep myself up to date with it is I pick one each year, just try to pick one marketing, like initiative and one marketing platform to just truly master. And I find, or at least the last few years I have found it to be more fruitful. Just from my productivity and my focus. Kathleen (42:32): That's really good advice. I suspect a lot of people will struggle with that because we, as marketers also suffer from shiny penny syndrome. Jay (42:42): It's business owners. Right. And I think that the question I ultimately asked myself about a year and a bit ago, which what kind of business and what kind of life do am I going to be happy with? Right. Do I want to, you know, find cool little hacks and things to create a little bit of momentum? Or could I find something to really double, triple, quadruple down on and actually just be able to dominate it. Right. And so it's like, I totally hear you because I think so many entrepreneurs and so many marketers in general, they want to be able to say, Hey, you know what I know about this, I know about this. And all of it is really amazing, I think you just have to choose. Yeah. Kathleen (43:18): Absolutely. All right. Well, we're, we're at our time. So if somebody is listening and they want to reach out and ask you a question, learn more about what you're talking about or connect with you online, what is the best way for them to do that? Jay (43:32): So two different spots. One is, if you want to see our entire podcast process from beginning to end, like we lay out all four stages, we call it the top 100 buyers podcast system. You can go see that whole system at doneforyoupodcast.com. If you want to reach out to me and socially stalk me, probably Instagram is the best way to being able to go do that. We post there pretty much daily and our websites, podcasts, your brand in case you want to dive into some other case studies and you want to see every, you know, all the deliverables and all that good stuff. Kathleen (44:06): All right. I will put the links to all of those places in the show notes. So make sure you head over there to check it out. And as always, if you're listening and you liked what you heard, or you learned something new, head to Apple podcasts or the platform of your choice and leave the podcast, preferably a five star review because that's how other people find us. And if you know somebody else who's doing kick ass, inbound marketing work, tweet me @workmommywork, because I would love to interview them. Thank you so much, Jay. This was a lot of fun. Jay (44:36): Yeah. Thank you, Kathleen. This was great.

"In my lifetime, I have encountered those who have seemingly endured far greater states of human privation than I could ever imagine (though I try to eschew establishing comparative equivalencies [or non-equivalencies] among human suffering as much as possible because such an impossibly herculean task never ends well). And what I have come to realize is that the nexus of all of these extraordinary stories of tragic afflictions being overcome was the individual’s remarkable propensity for gratitude and their mental aptitude to reorient, reframe, and reappraise all that was bad … into all that is good. Unlike biological antibodies that fight microbial marauders just by our very nature of existing until the illness passes, the acquisition of emotional antibodies is a far less passive process. We have to be proactive in our efforts to construct and build meaning around the negative impact of the trials around us, and integrate all that we ascertain into the person that we are … and the person that we become—our identity."

It is I, David Wong, thank you for tuning into The Self Mastery Show episode 0, my origin episode, where you will get the low-down of what this show is about, my promises, what I'll be covering, who the show is for, my story, my journey and the why… This is my one at-bat and will be the foundation of my legacy, so if you're here listening to the origin episode, give yourself a pat on the back because I'd like to think of you as a founding member of this community. And I appreciate you all. The Self Mastery Show has been 3 months in the making. And to be honest, I couldn't even decide on the name for this podcast until last week. I was stressed thinking about all the variations, and that all the good names were already taken but once I landed on The Self Mastery Show and checked that the domain was available, I knew this was it. I'm excited to go live with you because if you really think about it… we live in a time where anyone can share their voice and make an impact on the life of someone who lives halfway across the world. So the fact that I can potentially bring value to a listener in like London, where I've never even been is pretty awesome if you ask me. Like if this were the 90s, I don't even know how people were sharing their message because the internet was still a fad at the time. Anyways, that's aside from the point. The Self Mastery Show revolves around the ongoing journey of becoming the best version of ourselves, whatever that means to you so that you can live your best life. Whether it's as small as a slight habit change to something as big as speaking on an international stage… there's nothing too big or too small that can't be achieved if you put your mind and actions towards it. You'll be hearing from entrepreneurs, influencers, thought leaders from various walks of life and most famously… me! Because I'm why you're all here… nah I'm just kidding. Really, you'll be hearing from anyone who can provide us with value and context around becoming the best version of ourselves. Including individuals that I come across who are just getting started on this same journey and was maybe in your exact shoes, a few months to a year ago. All of which I believe will provide you with a greater perspective of what we as individuals are capable of, especially when we immerse ourselves in a community of like-minded people. In coming up with this show, I also came up with 3 promises that the Self Mastery Show will live by. And the first promise is that this show, with my voice, will be truly authentic and transparent. Which means I will not hold back on my thoughts and emotions, as well as my vulnerabilities. This on its own is a challenge to myself as most of my friends would tell you that I'm typically very kept to myself and I never say too much about anything. So I think producing this show and seeing my me use my voice will come across as a surprise to many people. The second promise is this… we'll be talking about a lot of techniques, habits, strategies etc. But I'm going to try my best to make everything applicable and actionable so that you'll actually know how to implement certain things into your life. Rather than just letting it be another theory or idea that may not seem plausible to you. And lastly, my final promise is that this show will be a true documentation of my journey. What I mean by this isn't that I was planning to make up stories or anything but what I'll be doing is telling the full story and create lots of context so that what is shared will really be relatable and can resonate with you to the point where you'll think we're living the same life! Is that creepy? Now at this point, you might think that's great David you're just another podcast in the sea of alternatives that already exist. So then what can you expect to hear from me… well I can speak about becoming and starting off as an aspiring entrepreneur, building small personal online businesses, developing high performance habits, coming to understand yourself, right, the self awareness, side hustling because I've done and still do a lot of that, overcoming fears and barriers, how to connect with mentors, personal finance and investing as knowing how to invest is also a big player in building your future. You'll also hear about mental wellness and a bit about fitness as they're both things that I'm working on as part of my journey to become the best me. Probably the most interesting thing I can talk about that not many others can or have is how to step about of the stereotypical Asian kid expectations put on by their family… I think everyone has an idea of what this entails regardless of whether or not you're Asian, but more on that later. Again, with the overarching message and theme behind the Self Mastery Show to become the best version of yourself, I hope to be able to speak out for you and be the voice you need to get started by sharing my journey, experiences, thoughts, vulnerability and feelings so that my message will resonate with you and you'll feel that “hey, he gets me, that's exactly what I'm thinking and feeling, I'm not alone in this.” That's the emotional response I'm looking for because yeah, I've been there too, probably not too long ago either because I'm also just getting started! Sound good to you so far? Perfect! You should know that I'm not trying to serve everybody around everything. This show is for you whether you're going through a bit of a rough patch right now, maybe a bit of anxiety, stress, confusion or you could already be living the best life and waking up excited everyday… But the commonality that you both have is that you know this isn't it, there's a spark in you telling you that more is possible and that you'll pull through that rough patch, it's just temporary. And you can always be a little bit better than you were yesterday. I think what's great about being able to have both sides come together is that for people who are going through some stuff, they are able to see positivity on the other side and in turn feel encouraged. And for those who are living the best life, you can be humbled and reminded of where you came from and what life was like before… Simply put this show is for you if you want to be able to do more, maybe break out of the 9-5 or start a side-hustle or passion project. This show is also for you if you just want to feel mentally clearer and feel at your best, I have habits and techniques on how to achieve that. Or maybe you're in a bit of a rut and you just need to listen to some positivity. I want to be the voice that empowers those who resonate with me and my journey. Now, as much as I'd like to impact as many people as possible, I also want to be clear on who I'm not trying to serve. This show is not for you if you're here to troll or to judge others, especially if you're using other people's vulnerabilities to make yourself feel better and significant. That is not how you go about living your best life, I can tell you that. My audience is open-minded and accepting of each other's journeys and differences because there's not one right way to do anything. And hey if you feel a little bit repelled by what I just said and decide that this show isn't for you then it's okay too! No hard feelings, you're welcome to put me on the back burner and maybe I'll be of value to you a little later on in your journey. Perhaps you know someone right now who needs to listen to The Self Mastery Show and you can pass this on to them… I'm also open to new ideas of what I can incorporate into the show and community so don't hesitate to email or DM me because I'd like to build something that's valuable to my audience, not just myself! With that being said, if you're still listening, welcome to the Self Mastery Show! This show is about the ongoing journey of becoming the best version of yourself, regardless of what that means to you… You'll be hearing me say that a lot, trust me… But I feel like its important to include that last bit in there because self-mastery to one person will look drastically different to another. My definition of self-mastery is being so good at being me for who I want to be, that people who resonate with me will take my vibe and energy and become fearless in doing what they want, basically a long way of saying, I want impact the lives of others. But for someone else, it could just be being the best child, parent, or spouse they can possibly be. Or becoming the leader at work who everyone will look up to, you see what I mean?... It's going to be different for everybody. So in case you forgot my name already, my name is David Wong… if you ask me who I am, I really can't say just yet… I'd hate to identify as one thing because I'm a few… and entrepreneur would probably be the broadest term to describe myself because I'm also an expert in e-commerce, Facebook ads, social media marketing, affiliate marketing, photo, and videography… I'm also an aspiring coffee and tea expert… so let's just go with entrepreneur for the sake of simplicity. One thing you probably won't ever hear me say is that I am a life coach. Because I'm not, I just simply can't coach you on how to live your life. So then who am I to be speaking about all this? Well, I'm someone who's been through a bit of stuff and am now documenting my journey. I'm currently based in Toronto, but home is in Vancouver where I grew up and went to school. I graduated UBC with a BA of Psychology in 2017. I'm also a first-generation Canadian. Really grateful for my parents having immigrated to Canada 28 years ago with little to nothing to their name and giving up the life they had in China so that I can live the life I have today. I was raised somewhat traditionally I'd say. Not to the extreme of what some of my friends but you know: get good grades, get a high paying job in the system with good benefits, go to tutor, don't play video games cause it's bad for you. It's a lot different now but that's how it was… I wanted to be a pilot or a firefighter, but that was too dangerous. I wanted to a chef or an air traffic controller, but that would be too stressful. So my ideal job in the eyes of my parents really was to work for the government. I have 5 cousins working for the government and that's their idea of a good job that's not stressful, pays well and comes with job security and benefits. But since I knew I didn't want to work for the government, I set out to just go to business school, work a corporate job at a Fortune 500 company or a start-up because that was the cool thing at the time with the emergence of Silicon Valley culture. The only thing is, I couldn't get into business school. I got into arts instead and that was probably the scariest thing for me up until that point in life. Not knowing what other options I have… like was I really just going to have to work for the government, is this what I'm destined to do? Actually, I did try transferring into business after my first year but I didn't even have the minimum grade requirement to apply since I was like a C student for the most part. So I just turned towards finding work to see what else interested me. At my peak, it was my 2nd to 3rd year at UBC, so around 2014, I was working 4 jobs at once… I taught taekwondo, worked with the UBC Communications and Marketing department, I was a line cook at a casual fine dining restaurant, and I did a lot of freelance photo and video work. I basically worked full-time hours on top of a full course load at school. Fast forward to August 2015, that's when my life really changed and I gained a wider perspective as to what is possible for my future. Obviously, I didn't know it at the time but looking back in retrospect, it was August 2015 that my life changed to allow me to be where I am today. That summer, I spent 4 months in Toronto just doing freelance work, living out of a dorm room at the University of Toronto when I was introduced to e-commerce, more specifically retail arbitrage. Now keep in mind that in 2015, e-commerce on Shopify, eBay, and Amazon wasn't the cool thing at the time… there weren't all the courses and gurus there are nowadays. So I started my own eBay store not knowing what to expect and honestly I expected nothing because I didn't get my first sale until 3 months later in November… but I persisted anyways because all I had was time. I was still in school, working and doing this online thing. And by April 2016, my eBay store took off… at my peak, I was profiting $7000 a month and generating $800K in revenue in that first year. Just imagine how you'd feel seeing that as a 22-year-old at the time… That's when I realized there's more to life than just the traditional office job. There's something out there that didn't need me to be interviewed for, that I didn't need good grades for. I thought this was it, I made it! On top of that, I also started reaching out to companies offering to help them with social media marketing. This is a funny one because like I'm sure some of you have done what I'm about to share as well… and I actually tell some people who ask me for advice to do the same thing. And it's that I actually didn't know anything about social media marketing at the time… I just knew enough to get the job and then I would Google to find out what actually needed to be done. I then realized that you really only need to know a little bit more than the next person to be able to provide value. Anyways, all of that is something for another episode. By April of 2017 I graduated from UBC and 3 months later I packed my bags and moved to Toronto with my girlfriend, Emily and 2 other really amazing friends, Jessy and Ryan where we lived together for a solid year. I was still doing eBay and social media marketing, also some freelancing in Toronto. I should also mention now because I know it's going to come up later and this would be interesting to some of you… and it's that my family and some of my friends don't actually know what it is I do… or they think I do what I do but as an employee of a company rather than on my own. I think the reason behind that was I was afraid of the judgment and opinions of others. So if you're on the same boat right now then you're in the right place! I tried to improve myself and build my network by attending conferences and events. I even got to meet Gary Vaynerchuk and got his limited edition Crushing It sneakers during my time here. I think up to now you're probably thinking what the hell David, it sounds like you have it all, what do you mean you're just getting started?... Well if you can imagine the stereotypical meme of a graph illustrating the path to success, there are many ups and downs. Up to this point, I was on a strong uptick, the whole time. But by April 2018, that was when my line on the graph started to curve downwards. eBay was rolling out a bunch of changes making it harder for sellers to keep up. And I felt like my life was pretty robotic… work just felt like work. I didn't like talking about what I was doing anymore and I was spending less and less time actively working on the business. The money was there and great but I fell into the realm of what some may feel when working a job they don't enjoy. First world problem, I know. But this is what self-awareness is supposed to make you realize. So what I ended up doing is quit e-commerce, straight up, cold turkey. Just cutting out what I didn't like while not knowing what was going to happen next. I knew I wanted something with more meaning and the ability to affect the lives of others. I found myself an amazing mentor in affiliate marketing and tried modelling a business after him on how to make money online with YouTube and promoting affiliate offers. I did that for about 3 months but it still wasn't it. At that point, I was running short on cash because I was just living off savings for 7 months and counting. So I picked up more freelance jobs and even picking up shifts at an upscale catering company just to help pay for my living in Toronto. That was just 4 months ago and I'd say my life was in a bit of a rut. I realized I was dealing with anxiety, you know I had chest pains and saw a cardiologist who said nothing's wrong with me and I had never experienced anxiety before so I didn't know. I felt unmotivated, I was down on my luck, I couldn't sleep and when I did sleep and woke up, I couldn't pull myself to get out of bed. I'm going to steal a saying from someone who would describe my life at that point as just someone going through the motions of life. I forgot how to feel excited… And that someone's name is Jay Wong, I discovered Jay in November last year, and he instantly resonated with me. I still think it has a lot to do with the fact that he's also Chinese and has the same last name as me and we sort of look alike, nah I'm just kidding. Jay now is my mentor and empowered me to put a stop to my downward trend on my graph to success. He was the voice I needed to realize what was next. I realized what I needed to do if I wanted to fulfill my mission of helping people better themselves, was that I first have to be on that journey towards being the best version of myself and create the context that people can understand and be inspired, feel motivated by. As compared to being another person putting out content in the endless sea of content. So it wasn't to start another e-commerce store that I already knew how to do, or to just promote affiliate products and banking on commissions. But to share this journey of mine which is where the basis of The Self Mastery Show emerged. Now here I am, sharing my message, sharing my journey, hoping to inspire you towards making that change, even if it's just small change in habit that will set you on the path towards becoming the best version of yourself. I think what sets this show apart is that I'm still early in the process. I hope this will help resonate more with people who are just starting out or are looking to start on something. As compared to the great influencers like Tim Ferris, Lewis Howes, Patt Flynn, GaryVee, who are all my heroes by the way… But sometimes it just seems so out of reach that you can only fathom on their message and journey because they're so far ahead it almost seems as if we're too far behind. That's why I hope that my show will be the voice and context you need to bridge that gap and bring the ultimate version of yourself a little closer to the surface as someone who's just getting started. Alright, guys, I think I covered a lot of ground in this origin episode and clearly many of which could be its own stand-alone episode. Once I again I appreciate you being here for the start of my movement, the Self Mastery Show. Stay tuned to future episodes because I already have several fire interviews and solo episodes lined up. I'm excited for you to show up. Subscribe to the podcast and maybe leave me some feedback and a rating if you're ready to do so… And if you know someone who you think might need to hear this, I ask that you please share this with them, it would mean the world to me. And finally, I want to dedicate this show to those who are curious as to what more there is about themselves that they've yet to realize and achieve and to those who are in a rough place. I've been in both positions, trust me, I get it, I feel you, let's trek on this journey together. Thank you guys for tuning into the Self Mastery Show.

I genuinely can't believe I am recording episode 100. I am your host Jay Wong and It is an absolutely privilege for me that you are tuning in.   I don't know who most of you are. Perhaps we haven't had a chance to connect on social media or via emails.   But I know something about you.   You have a gift and you know it.   You have been tapped on your shoulder by god, by a higher being, by aliens, by your intuition, or by whatever you believe.   I know it. And you know it.   Look, this podcast was never about what you believe. What religion do you belong to or where your faith lies.   This podcast has always been about creating an impact with your gift. Creating your life's work and having the guts, the balls, man balls and woman balls to simply GO FOR IT.   To Live the life you deserve.   To create the legacy to honour your gift and your message.   I had no idea I would be here recording this episode for you.   I spent the last two weeks, relistening to my podcast, to some of my favourite episodes.   I have heard that some podcast hosts have started to remix their podcasts so in a single episode, they would essentially rip a bit here, and rip a bit there.   And then supplement in their message.   To be honest, I wrote an episode like that. WIth four of my favourite podcasts from this year, and that was going to be my epic 100.   But as I was putting on the final touches on it, something didn't seem right.   It just felt forced and contrived.   And if you have been following my work for any amount of time, you know I am not about that.   I am about living in the moment.   I am about tapping into your zone of genius and discovering how you can build a life around there.   So I simply put it aside, scrapped it and start anew.   Go with whatever NEW I had in mind and this started flowing out of me.   You see, sometimes in life, you follow and you do what others have done before you because you simply don't know how to do better.   Or perhaps this was the way that you were raised or taught.   Over the last 16 months, I have learnt a great amount through this podcast and my life is completely different than where I first started.   If you wanted to see how I was feeling when I first started on my parents coach almost 2 years ago, then listen to episode 99.   It was the last one before this, and I was interviewed by the talented Chris Spurvey on the It's Time To Sell Podcast.   I want to talk to you about the present.   About the now.   About this moment.   You see, I might not know who you are, but I already told you I know you have a gift.   You have genius trapped in you and it's looking to get out.   You are beyond scared to let it out because it would mean change.   Whether good or bad, it would mean change no matter what.   And to be honest, most of us were never taught to deal with change in a healthy way.   We were never taught to be patient with ourselves and accept the change. The good and bad.   I still go through days and nights where I am stressed beyond belief. I run multiple online courses LIVE and a mastermind of inner circle people, as well as manage the entire podcast and media channels.   I get scared too.   I have doubts too   I lay awake from time to time, wondering what if this goes wrong. What if I can't be the better human and find a way to “make it”   But in those moments, I have trained myself to switch the lens of my situation.   Instead of looking at the alternatives, and the unknown, I look at the facts.   I acknowledge that the path of any messenger is not a straight one.   I acknowledge that it takes time to build something epic and great   I accept that I am human and I still don't know everything.   And will likely not know much in the grand scheme of things.   I accept that I am human and that I fear change as much any other person would.   I also accept...

This is a fireside chat ft: Chris Spurvey and Jay Wong. This was originally posted on Chris's podcast, It's Time To Sell. For me to properly deliver Episode 100 to you, I need you first to understand the context of my situation 18 months ago. Here is the untold story of The Inner Changemaker and what it took to get my podcast / brand to this point.

Jay is committed to helping creators and messengers get their message out to the world in a bigger way. He is the host and producer of "The Inner Changemaker";  ranked as the #1 Self-Help podcast when he launched and recently named as a top 10 Business podcast for 2016 from Podcast Awards. On his show is where he interviews high-profile entrepreneurs and world-class creators on choosing legacy over currency.   With interviews from people such as Bob Proctor, Alex Ikonn, Philip Mckernan, Nathan Chan and many other prominent names in the industry, it's no surprise that his podcast has risen on the podcasting charts.  His journey wasn't always, this smooth, though. After being burnt out working a high-paying job in downtown Toronto, he knew he needed a change in his life. The decision for change sparked his own version of the hero's journey that left him vagabonding through Asia for a period. Since then, he has been building a global brand and a profitable online business that allows him to travel the globe and most importantly, constantly create inspiring content. http://www.theinnerchangemaker.com/

Hello hello everyone!   Glad to be back for another episode of The Inner Changeamaker.   If this is your first time checking us out, My name is Jay Wong, I will be your host.   This is THE place dedicated to purpose-driven individuals and passionate creators. We are all about learning how to create impact and interviewing people that are choosing legacy over currency.   Last week, we had an Olympian by the name of Daniel Hayes giving us the behind the scenes of the Olympic scenes and what goes through his mind as he enters the RIO 2016 games.   The mindset of an Olympian.   If you missed it, please go check out that episode.   As you heard in the teaser, Today, we have THE peter Shankman on the show.

I want to include a bonus for you guys.   So once again, its www.theinnerchangemaker.com/waitlist   --  Now let's get to today's episode with Peter Shankman.   The New York Times has called him "a public relations all-star who knows everything about new media and then some,", while Investor's Business Daily has labeled him "crazy, but effective."    I love his twitter, where it list out like 15 things, Including @NASA advisor, Ironman.
