FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageEver find yourself stuck in the cycle of trying to make massive life changes overnight, only to fail and feel frustrated? You're not alone. Today's episode explores a powerful alternative approach to personal transformation that's been hiding in plain sight for centuries.We begin with the remarkable story of Harriet, a 176-year-old tortoise collected by Charles Darwin himself, whose species adapted gradually over millions of years to thrive in specific environments. This natural example of incremental change serves as our gateway to understanding how real, lasting transformation works in human lives.Drawing wisdom from both Eastern and Western traditions, we dive into the Japanese concept of "kaizen"—the philosophy of continuous improvement through small, consistent changes. We examine how this approach aligns perfectly with insights from modern personal development experts like Darren Hardy and Jeff Olson, who emphasize that success comes not through dramatic gestures but through "mundane, unsexy, unexcited, sometimes difficult daily disciplines, compounded over time."Ready to break free from the cycle of dramatic starts and disappointing finishes? This episode offers a refreshing alternative that aligns with how lasting change actually happens. What small improvement will you commit to today? Listen now and discover how tiny steps can lead to your flourishing life.Key Points from the Episode:• Harriet the tortoise lived to 176 years old and was one of the tortoises Charles Darwin collected from the Galapagos• Different tortoise species evolved gradually over millions of years to adapt to their environments• The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy emphasizes "mundane, unsexy, unexcited, sometimes difficult, daily disciplines, compounded over time"• The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson focuses on "simple productive actions, repeatedly, consistently, over time"• Kaizen is the Japanese concept for small, consistent improvements that lead to significant change• Small virtues or daily disciplines may seem insignificant but yield powerful results when practiced consistentlyWhat small step will you take today to improve?

Brian McDonald is a partner at Bay Advisory, a corporate finance firm helping founders navigate funding, scaling, and exiting their businesses. Brian first joined the show in 2021, and now, four years later, he returns to share updated insights on startup exits, valuations, and the evolving market landscape. From the importance of staying true to your business identity to understanding deal structuring and negotiation tactics, Brian breaks down what founders need to know before, during, and after an exit. He also shares his thoughts on current trends, including valuation shifts, the rise of AI-driven businesses, and the significance of knowing when to walk away from a deal. If you're a founder planning your next fundraising round or thinking about an exit, this episode is packed with actionable advice and real-world examples that you won't want to miss. Key Takeaways: 1. Stay True to Your Business Identity: Many founders feel pressured to present their business as a SaaS or AI-driven venture to attract investors, but Brian emphasizes the importance of positioning your business based on what it truly is rather than shaping it to fit investor expectations. 2. Avoid Venture Capital If You Plan to Keep Your Business Long-Term: If you're building a business to own and operate for life, taking on investors expecting a return may not be the right move. Transparency about your vision is crucial in aligning with the right partners. 3. Consider Alternatives to Full Exits: Founders don't have to sell their entire company to achieve financial security. Partial exits or taking some cash off the table while continuing to scale can be viable options. 4. Valuation Challenges in Today's Market: Valuations fluctuate, and generic revenue multiples can be misleading. Founders should focus on comparable deals and be realistic about their company's value in the current market conditions. 5. Earnouts and Deal Structuring: Few exits involve a full cash payout at closing. Earnouts based on future performance are common, and founders should aim for turnover-based earnouts rather than EBITDA-based, as buyers can manipulate EBITDA figures. 6. Know Your 'No' and Be Ready to Walk Away: Understanding your bottom line in negotiations is critical. If a deal isn't right, having the confidence to walk away can save founders from making costly mistakes. Notable Quotes from Brian McDonald: "If you plan to keep your business for life, avoid taking on investors who expect a return." "The key question I ask a founder thinking about an exit is 'What is it that you really want to do?" "The best founders say to investors 'This is my business, this is what I'm doing. If this doesn't fit for you as an investor, that's okay, I'll bootstrap." Market Trends and Strategic Insights: Longer Deal Timelines: Exit processes that once took six months are now stretching to 9-12 months due to market shifts. AI Bubble: Many businesses are branding themselves as AI-driven when they're not, which mirrors past trends seen with blockchain startups. Corporate vs. PE Buyers: Corporates focus on strategic fit, while PE firms prioritize financials and growth potential. Importance of Data Rooms: Keeping updated documentation can streamline fundraising or an acquisition process when the time comes.

And while gratitude is something that many people embrace in their personal lives, research shows there's a so-called “gratitude gap” when it comes to practicing gratitude at work.

Listen as Jeff Olson, Amber Olson Rourke, and Dave Fleming examine the role gratitude plays in workers' well-being, discuss how leaders can implement it as a guiding principle, and share some of their own practices for putting it into action.

Chapter 1:Summary of The Slight Edge"The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson presents the concept that small, consistent actions can lead to significant positive results over time. Olson emphasizes the power of incremental progress and the importance of daily choices in shaping one's life and achieving success.Key themes of the book include:1. The Philosophy of the Slight Edge: Olson argues that success isn't necessarily the result of major efforts or breakthroughs, but rather the accumulation of small, seemingly insignificant daily habits that compound over time.2. Mindset and Attitude: A positive attitude and a growth mindset are crucial. Olson stresses the need to develop a mindset that embraces learning and perseverance, as these qualities enable individuals to overcome challenges and setbacks.3. Daily Habits: Olson identifies key daily disciplines, such as reading, exercising, and maintaining healthy relationships, that can lead to personal and professional achievements. He encourages readers to focus on small, manageable actions that contribute to their long-term goals.4. The Importance of Decision-Making: Every decision, no matter how small, has a cumulative effect. Olson teaches that consciously making positive choices consistently is fundamental to leveraging the Slight Edge.5. Taking Responsibility: The book emphasizes personal responsibility and accountability. Olson encourages readers to take control of their lives by understanding that they have the power to choose their actions and mindset.Overall, "The Slight Edge" serves as a motivational guide, illustrating how adopting a philosophy of small, consistent improvements can lead to lasting success and fulfillment in various areas of life.Chapter 2:The Theme of The Slight Edge"The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness" by Jeff Olson is a self-help book that emphasizes the power of small, consistent actions and their cumulative effect over time. While the book is not a traditional narrative with characters or plot points, it does contain key concepts that could be aligned with character development and thematic exploration. Here are some key elements: Key Concepts1. The Power of Small Efforts: Olson introduces the idea that small, daily decisions can compound over time to lead to significant success or failure. This concept is central to the book's premise and represents the foundation of personal growth.2. Mindset Shift: A critical element of the Slight Edge is the need to adopt a proactive and positive mindset. Olson encourages readers to focus on improving their daily habits and choices, recognizing that every small decision contributes to their overall life trajectory.3. Consistency: The importance of consistency in applying small disciplines is emphasized. Olson suggests that the commitment to daily habits—no matter how insignificant they may seem—is what leads to transformative change.4. The Success Curve vs. the Failure Curve: Olson illustrates two curves – one representing success and the other failure. The success curve shows how small, positive actions lead to gradual improvement, while negative actions create a downward spiral. Understanding these curves helps readers visualize the long-term implications of their choices.5. Self-Learning and Growth: The book encourages continuous self-improvement and lifelong learning. Olson stresses that personal development is a journey rather than a destination and requires ongoing dedication. Character Development (Metaphorically)Although "The Slight Edge" does not have characters in the conventional sense, readers can think of themselves as the main character in their journey of self-improvement.

It could be a book that you read recently, or even one that you read a very long time ago, but it still has had a great impact on you. · Could you also share with us what's the one thing that's going on in your life right now that you are really excited about, either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. · Where can listeners find you online? · Just want to ask you as well, Alan, in your experience, in the journey of your lifetime, if you have a quote or saying that during times of adversity or challenge, if for any reason, you got derailed. Do you have a quote or a saying that once repeated or just remembered it helps to get you back on track? Highlights Alan's Journey Me: Now, could you start by sharing with our listeners a little bit about your journey, how it is that you got from where you were to where you are today.   Alan shared that he started as an electronic engineer, it wasn't his fault, he grew up watching Airwolf Night Rider and MacGyver, so he thought that's what he'd be doing. Unfortunately, he lost his dad when he was quite young, he was about 12 years old, but he was an engineer, so he thought that'd be a good thing to do. But he was doing it for about 3 years after graduating, and he read a book called You're Born an Original, Don't Die a Copy by John Mason, and he said, “If you passionately hate what you're doing for more than 2 weeks, you need to stop,” and he'd been doing it for two years. And a friend of his suggested he goes into sales, which he then tried and please if your listeners don't drop off now, but he got asked to leave his first sales jobs, but it was frustrating. As an engineer, he believed in cause and effect. He believes that there's things you do that get you certain outcomes. He was doing everything they told him to do, but he couldn't find a way to get through, he'd be good at his product, he was passionate to what he was doing, but he wasn't able to succeed.  And then he worked under a manager, he said to him, “Alan, is sales a job or a profession?” So, he knew the right answer, the right answer was, it's a profession. And he said, “Well, how hard did you study for this profession?”  And then the penny drops, and from there on out, been a passionate reader, 50 to 60 books a year, generally related to psychology, self-development and sales and over time, realized that the big change in sales is sales management, and that's a short view of his journey to where he was and how he got here.   Mindset Needed for Sales Professionals Me: Now you deal with a lot of sales professionals, and I can imagine it starts with their mindset. Can you share with us maybe two overarching themes that you try to help sales professionals master in terms of their mindset, to get them to where you need them to be in order to master their sales?   Alan stated that it's a great question, and it speaks to the tone of your podcast. So, the first mindset they have to own is that “Selling won't help, but helping will sell.” That the sale is the reward for an intent to create value. And that's the starting point when we realize that we are service orientated, that we're there to drive value into the client's business or life, that there's something specifically we're trying to do, that were truthfully customer centric it's not just a word, and we realize that selling won't help, but helping will sell.  You'll find that salespeople do really well. There's a wonderful book called Selling With Noble Purpose: How to Drive Revenue and Do Work That Makes You Proud by Lisa Earle McLeod, and it shows the research behind the top performing sales professionals globally sell with that noble purpose, with an idea to serve. So, it's definitely one of them.  The second one is probably an extension, he said to sales professionals, “If you believe in the product you sell and you believe it can add value to the person you're serving, then it would be borderline negligent to avoid offering them that value.”  Many salespeople, specifically today are fearful of cold calling or proactive sales calling or reaching out or picking up a phone or speaking to someone, and they take on a very much non-human sales approach, as opposed to going, “I believe, with certainty and conviction that what I have to offer will make their lives or their business easier, and I'm here to help, and helping will sell. So, I'm going to depart from that point.”  And what you find is doing that, apart from that point, the skills, the body language, all the risks that start to develop quite naturally, but often we avoid that, we try to train the skill, but we avoid the mindset.   Barriers To Overcome as Salespeople Me: So, once you tackle their mindset, now you have to ensure that what they're selling, as you mentioned before, is actually helping the customer and adding value to the customer's life. What are some barriers that you believe a lot of salespeople face, why it is you believe they're not successful?   Alan shared that he thinks the big barrier specifically in professional selling is conviction of the value proposition, and before that is clarity. And he'll give a couple of examples.   When he speaks to business leaders, they often say to him, “You know what Alan, the challenge with our sales teams are they just don't understand our value proposition.”  And he says, okay, great. What is your value proposition? And they struggle to articulate it. Now, if you think about this, why is it that entrepreneurs can sell quite effectively without ever having been trained in that skill, and the reality is they have clarity and conviction of their value proposition. He thinks with many sales professionals, we're teaching them the product, we're not teaching them the impact it has on the customer's life.  Once we buy into the impact, once we have the conviction, selling is a natural part of how we are as humans and Dan Pink wrote that book To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others.  And his (Alan) example is we have a brand over there, it's called Woolworths, it's a high-quality brand, high quality food brand. And if you said to anyone, “But why shopping in Woolworths? They're so expensive.” They dive into a defense, without being paid by this company, they will sell very hard the value of doing that.  The same could be said for someone who's an Apple phone fan. And he can continue, once we have conviction of something, the ability and need to persuade is actually quite natural. So, he thinks what's missing from an individual's perspective is that conviction of the mindset.  From a corporate, it's the fact that we speak about customer centricity, but none of our measurement metrics or meetings actually align to that.   Me: Now, I found that in a lot of organizations, they're heavily sales driven, right? I find it as a customer service trainer when companies hire me to come in and train their team, especially the leadership teams in customer service, or even customer experience design or customer journey mapping, there's a lot of emphasis that I hear them talking that they have these exorbitant sales targets to meet on a month to month basis, and with these targets that they have to meet, they don't have as much time to give to customer centricity or to give to the experience, because it's all about meeting the target. How do you strike that balance as a salesperson? What would be your recommendation?    Alan shared that there'd be two components. The first would be at an organizational lens, speaking to what you're saying. He thinks organizations have forgotten that when you take care of the customers, the number takes care of itself. So, we are so focused on the month, on the quarter, on the year, we're not focused on the value, and that's a shift that needs to happen.  But practically, the way that shift happens is in the account planning process, when we start treating our customers and accounts and saying, what is the value we're delivering. Many companies go, what more can we sell them? What's the white space we can sell into? What does that look like? And that's the big organizational.  From a salesperson's perspective, the only thing you can do is you need to figure out how to allocate your effort. And the way he says that is you have to beat everyone equally but handle them differently. You have to segment your customers, otherwise you can't take care of the ones that need to be taken care of, and your competitor is going to snatch them up. And in any sales business, he's ever worked with, if you lose, and it's generally about 10%, if you lose about 10% of your customers, you lose about 90% of your revenue.  But organizations are just focused what's the next sale, what's the next sale, what's the next sale? And what happens is, we're putting two barrels on the truck, and three barrels are falling off the truck because we're not focused on the customer service.  And we almost see it as something separate, and it's not. The way he articulates this is there's a thing called the value gap, it's the gap between what customers expect and what they experience. And it is everybody's job in the organization to close that gap.   It's not, “Hey, sales go set the expectation. Hey, service go and deliver against that expectation.” It's an organizational mindset that we exist to close the gap between the customers expect and what they experience.  And he thinks their leadership needs to start realizing that taking care of customers, the numbers take care of themselves, and that talking to a spreadsheet or talking to a CRM system or talking to data doesn't change people's behaviour.  So, leadership needs to take a different perspective on this and going, what is it we do now that lays the soil in the seeds for the numbers we need?   App, Website or Tool that Alan Absolutely Can't Live Without in His Business When asked about online resource that he can't live without in his business, Alan shared that right now ChatGPT. He thinks that we are negating its value in sales if we're using it incorrectly. So, he'll give you a context.  As salespeople, we need to be creative and optimistic, and we're not fans of admin. So, the good news for sales professionals is a lot of our admin is going to be replaced by technology, but that's going to leave a lot of sales professionals wanting because what do you do with the time that you used to spend putting your data. But he really leverages the tool to shorten his learning curve, understanding a customer, understanding what the challenges are, understanding key things. It's a tool to summarize, it doesn't replace him as it shouldn't, it enhances him.  And he was listening to one of Yanique's earlier podcasts, you talk about the human-to-human connection, and there's this thing now where we talk about human-to-human selling. And he's like, well, if you think human to human selling is new, then you haven't been around for millennia, because that's what it is. It's a human-to-human task enhanced by technology. But right now, if he talks about probably 60% to 70% of his time is given back to him because he knows to leverage ChatGPT.   Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Alan When asked about books that have had an impact, Alan shared that that's a tough question with all the books he read, but he's going to give one that he always recommends. The first one is called The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness by Jeff Olson, and the premise of the book is that simple disciplines practiced consistently over time, lead to a life of greatness, and simple errors in judgment made consistently over time, lead to a life of blame. There's no Hollywood moment, there's not one big movement, they're just simple disciplines. Look at any leader, any sports hero, any person who succeeds in their profession, they practice the disciplines. So, there's definitely one that guides his life.  And then the other one is a book called The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth About Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller, and it's really about forgetting this construct of work life balance and finding out what's the one thing I can do such that by doing everything else is easier or unnecessary. And it talks about this work life counterbalance, and how you just keep the things that matter, you don't make them extreme fluctuations and the things that don't matter can be extreme. You can be heavily buried in a work project for three months, but during that time, don't forget your health, your family time, the things that matter. Just tone it down a bit, not all the way down. Those are two books, he'd say, personally, really drove him.  As a business professional, recently read that 10x Is Easier Than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing Less by Dan Sullivan, wonderful resource for anyone that's listening, that is an entrepreneur or business owner, 10x Is Easier Than 2x.   What Alan is Really Excited About Now! Me: Now, Alan, could you also share with us what's the one thing that's going on in your life right now that you are really excited about, either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people.   When asked about something that he's excited about, Alan shared that he's recently moved to a smaller coastal towns that's been really good for him personally, but the big thing happening for him business wise, is there's a very large global brand that they've managed to secure that's 10x'ing our business, which is a plan they had based on that book that he's read, and starting to see how that effort, energy and focus is paying off, is really rewarding. When you read a lot of books, you can get sometimes caught up in the story and not in the action.  And what's really great to see, in a proud moment for their business, is now really starting to take on some recognized global brands who are looking at effectively three guys from South Africa and saying, “We want to partner with you to do this.” So, it's a proud moment that's come, your overnight success is the longest night of your life.  But really what it's been powerful is seeing the practices that they put in place now starting to bear fruit. And when you say, take care of the customers, the number takes care itself, it's actually quite prolific, how?  And you know this, he's preaching to the converted, but when you understand that the only thing that matters is how customers experience you, then everything else becomes a lot easier, because their ability to grow is because they just have a track record where they phone a customer, and they love what they've done with them. And that doesn't mean it's easy to scale, it's still hard to scale. But he thinks that'd be the big thing right now, is seeing how by applying certain principles, you can stretch your own mindset, stretch your own goals, stretch your own vision for your business, and really start to play where you always believed you can.   Where can listeners find Alan online? LinkedIn – Alan Versteeg   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Alan Uses When asked about a quote or saying that he tends to revert to, Alan shared that he has quite a few, but one of his favourites, because of its depth is, “How you do anything, is how you do everything.” And the reason that's so important is it's easy to be in a good mood when times are good, it's easy to be of a good character when times are good, it's easy to be a pleasant person when times are good, but when things are challenging, that's where your character gets tested.   And how you do anything, is how you do everything. And he says to leaders all the time, Richard Branson said it so well, “The best way to take care of your customers is to take care of your employees.” Because the minute you take care of the employees, the customers feel that. And it's because how you do anything, is how you do everything.  You can't be polite to your customers but rude to the person waiting at you at a restaurant or trying to help you at the airport. Airports are so fascinating because everyone complains to people who are really just trying to get you somewhere safely and within strict guidelines that people, they don't treat people well.  And he believes that how you do anything, is how you do everything. And in challenging times, that tests you, can I remain of good spirit? Can I remain a good demeanor? Can I remain patient as a person when things are difficult? Can I maintain my faith?  Because it's easy to maintain my faith when things are great, it's difficult when you're in the lion's den, and that's for him, a quote that just guides him and says, just remember, they still shape your character, this is a test of your character and a bad day for the ego, is a beautiful day for the soul. It's time to grow.   Me: Well, thank you, Alan, so much for hopping on this podcast and sharing all of these great insights with us. It was very insightful to understand your perspective as it relates to sales and customer service, and to reinforce a lot of what we do talk about on this podcast, Navigating the Customer Experience as it relates to ensuring that the customer experience is not just managed effectively on the outside, but it needs to start on the inside. And you said it beautifully when you gave Richard Branson's quote that if you take care of your people on the inside, and they'll definitely take care of your customers on the outside. So, I think it was a really great conversation and I just really wanted to extend our deepest gratitude for your participation in our conversation today.   Alan shared an extended thanks to Yanique and the work she's doing in this space. One of the things that he definitely picks up in everything Yanique shared, the customer experience is not a thing, it's a culture and when we actually realize this, everything becomes easier, because it seems obvious, it does take a lot of work, as you know, it's a profession. But when companies understand it, the only reason we exist is to create value for customers, then the customer experience is the report card.

In the first half, award-winning journalist Steve Fishman talked with host Richard Syrett (Twitter) about his new podcast The Burden, a series that covers the story of crooked cop Louis Scarcella. Scarcella became infamous for his high number of wrongful arrests, but before Fishman dove into the policeman's sordid tale, he told listeners of his own experience interacting with a criminal. As a young college dropout, he found himself in a serial killer's car while hitchhiking around his hometown. Luckily, he escaped without harm, and it wasn't even until he read the newswire at his first journalism job that he realized who the shady man was. Over the decades that followed, he was drawn to stories of both killers and the ones who put them away, which led him to research officer Scarcella of the NYPD. Fishman recounted a story about Scarcella escorting an alleged murderer on a flight, where he convinced this person that the plane was about to go down after hitting some turbulence. In a panic for his life, the handcuffed man confessed to a crime he may have not even committed. It was just one example of Scarcella's manipulative tactics, which appeared to be highly effective. According to Fishman, "He seemed to have lots of ways to get at people."It would take decades before Scarcella's dubious interrogation methods came to light. Fishman talked about a group of inmates who met by chance one day in a prison law library, discovering that Scarcella was the one who locked them all up. Their investigations revealed that the cop had written down never-spoken confessions in his reports during a time when suspect interviews weren't being recorded. The men's determination to expose Scarcella's injustices led to 22 people having their convictions overturned, costing the taxpayers of New York over $100 million in settlements. Fishman shared his admiration of the falsely accused who taught themselves law in order to bring forth a case. "I mean, they dropped out of high school… and now they are poring through the [prison's] law books. They're writing briefs that are really as good as anybody else's," he explained. He also credited New York Times reporter Frances "Frenchie" Robles for bringing the story to the public's attention. Fishman's podcast explores this incredible story in great detail. "I think what makes The Burden so compelling in the long run — I mean, because we have 10 episodes — is because it's a story that we can chase," he said.In the second half, Dr. Jeff O'Driscoll discussed his observations of souls separating from their bodies at the time of death, a phenomenon known as a "shared-death experience." Over the course of his medical career he has witnessed this many times, and his contact with spirits started as early as his teenage years. He recalled that one night while driving a Volkswagen too fast down a narrow, winding road, his younger self heard a disembodied voice telling him to slow down. "I didn't just hear it — it was like something that wrapped around my soul," he claimed. He slowed down just in time to avoid sustaining major injuries as he crashed into an oncoming Cadillac. "I think I probably would have died that night if I had not heard that voice," O'Driscoll admitted. "I later realized that it was my brother… [who] died in a farm accident a few years before." He spoke about the case of Jeff Olson, who survived a terrible car crash that took the lives of his wife Tamara and one of his sons. Tamara's spirit appeared in the emergency room, thanking O'Driscoll for caring for her family. He relayed that when Olson regained consciousness, he detailed how his soul rose up above the scene of the wreck and encountered his wife's departing spirit. Tamara told him he had to go back and raise their other son, who miraculously survived the accident.

Shifting from doing the work to managing the business is a crucial mindset change for entrepreneurs during their growth journey. Braith Bamkin's top business book pick is "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson, lauding its emphasis on continuous small improvements, echoing his belief in consistent, incremental progress ("kaizen") for impactful business and personal development. For small business growth Braith Bamkin endorses "SendSpark," a personalised video tool Integrated into emails, it enhances engagement, adds a personal touch, and fosters connections, contributing significantly to business expansion. Braith Bamkin suggests the "How to Life" podcast hosted by Jonathan Fields as an excellent tool for professional development. Braith Bamkin's advice to his younger self when starting out in business would be to "believe in yourself." Reflecting on personal experiences, he highlights that lacking self-belief often led to less favorable outcomes.
