Something finally had to give, and he went with BattlBox. He and his team believe in creating all types of content across all the major platforms, to attract new customers and provide a better customer experience. At one point they noticed that a certain customer was doing online reviews that were generating a lot of new subscribers. They reached out to that customer, and he eventually came on with the company full time.The company has four tiers, and much to John's surprise, the top, premium tier has the most subscribers. He talks about looking at products on a need/want scale, and he thinks that their community-building efforts help make that a reality.They have a very good retention rate, and he discusses some interesting methods they use to mitigate both active and passive churn. John Roman -https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-roman/BattlBox -https://www.linkedin.com/company/battlbox/ Ready to get started with Rebar?Head to rebartechnology.com or email info@rebartechnology.com to schedule a call today.#Saas #subscriptions #subscriptionbusiness #subscriptionservice

Are you a content creator or a business owner looking for ways to connect with your audience? John Roman from BattlBox joins Matt in this episode of the eCommerce Podcast to share valuable insights from the tremendous success of his own business and on creating & testing content that resonates with your audience that you won't want to miss. Tune in now to discover the power of content in building strong, engaged communities.ABOUT JOHN:Meet John Roman - the CEO and Co-Founder of the electrifying BattlBox Group, home to three explosive brands: BattlBox, Carnivore Club, and Wanlow. With a whopping $30M eCommerce subscription portfolio, this group is all about building strong content and community - so much so that they've even landed their own Netflix show! The excitement doesn't end there, as The BattlBox Group was recently acquired in October 2021.Here's a summary of the great stuff that we cover in this show:John discusses his involvement in the creation and development of BattlBox, a subscription box service for outdoor and survival gear. He initially became involved as an investor with the intention of providing business advice, but his involvement quickly grew until he eventually joined the company full-time.BattlBox initially used YouTube influencers to build their brand on the platform, but later discovered a paying customer with a successful YouTube channel who became their full-time content creator and helped them build a community of like-minded individuals who loved their product.The Battlbox YouTube channel and subscription box business focuses on creating content that connects with consumers by educating and entertaining them about the outdoor adventure lifestyle, fostering a community through a Facebook group exclusive to active subscribers, and emphasizing the importance of brand connection. John suggests consistently posting short-form content and testing different types of content to find what resonates with your audience. When you find that one video or type of content that gets more views, double down on it and create variations to continue testing. Don't give up and believe in your content, even if it takes time to see success.Content marketing is effective for top of funnel engagement but does not convert at the same rate as paid targeted traffic. However, it still provides value and allows for remarketing and segmenting to convert highly engaged fits into customers through traditional e-commerce methods. Additionally, content marketing can lead to search engine optimization through proper descriptions and hashtags on platforms like TikTok and YouTube.John explains how their team is constantly working to keep their content fresh and meet rising expectations. They have found a helpful tool in chat GPT, which has given them ideas and even helped them come up with better questions for their content. Chat GPT is being used to leverage faster and stronger content creation, saving them hours in the process.The key takeaway from the conversation is to diversify lead sources and not rely on a single platform or area for customers, while also doubling down on successful campaigns and overselling to capitalize on victories.For complete show notes, transcript and links to our guest, check out our website: www.ecommerce-podcast.com.

You might imagine the logistics around subscription box fulfillment are rather simple, right? You have control over what goes in your customer's box, when it gets shipped, and how often you build them... Think again. This week, Alex and Michelle practice mindful breathing with John Roman, CEO of BattlBox and Carnivore Club. Throughout their conversation, John emphasizes the importance of fostering community and building transparency when facing inevitable cracks in your supply chain–regardless of who's at fault. John joined the BattlBox team back in 2015 once he heard his college friend was creating a subscription box model for survival and outdoors gear. Working as CMO for five years, he became the CEO back in October of 2021. Since then, John has worked to expand and scale BattlBox to Canada and launch their latest brand, Wanlow, a children's subscription box aimed at inspiring more connections to the outdoors. Today, hear as John shares how he and his team prepped for incoming demand following the release of their very own Netflix show, Southern Survival. Also, find out what the procurements process looks like when it comes to selecting items for subscription boxes. —Guest Bio:John Roman is the CEO of subscription box retailers BattlBox and Carnivore Club.

Subscribers can expect everything from premium axes to full sized tents for their next adventure. Carnivore Club is the world's first subscription service featuring premium cured meats delivered to customers' doors. John joined BattlBox after leading several successful sales organizations in telecomm and software, including his roles as VP of Enterprise Business Development at AVOXI, and Director of Enterprise Sales at Cbeyond. Together, John partnered with college friends, BattlBox Founder Daniel Dabbs, and COO Patrick Kelley (AKA “The Three Amigos”) to build the brand from the ground up.

After leading several successful sales organizations in the telecommunications and software space for almost a decade, John began investing in companies predominantly in the eCommerce arena. A college friend was launching BattlBox in early 2015 and John knew he had to be involved, so he invested in it, offering advice in a limited capacity. BattlBox started to see exponential growth and the demand for John's time increased. In early 2016, John made the decision to step away from his then sales leadership role with a software company to join the BattlBox team in a full-time capacity. In July 2019, The BattlBox Group acquired Carnivore Club, an artisanal meat subscription box. In October of 2021, BattlBox and Carnivore Club were acquired by Emerge Brands for $18.95M. John currently serves as Chief Executive Officer for The BattlBox Group.

He was fascinated with the game and got deep into it, playing 12 to 13 hours a day for 4.5 years. He may have lost money here and there but the skills that he acquired were invaluable and worth it. That same skill set was what catapulted him to become a successful entrepreneur. John invested in creating content showcasing Battlbox products with honest reviews from Youtube content creators.

8:48 Throughout my discovery of the real estate game, I didn't feel 1000% I'm doing it for my family. That's usually an excuse that we use, but it's not the real driver.  I realized my real purpose has been to make the world a better place, one MC at a time.   11:03 Get accustomed to risk. Learn to take calculated risks and do your due diligence in life, not just in investing. Map out what a plan and a strategy would be. Build a safety net, or a runway, so if I fail, I could always go back.    11:34 I've had job offers from companies telling me to stop but it has become greater than, than me. It becomes life's purpose and doing something bigger.   12:50 Building a personal brand: Put enough content out there. So people are aware that you exist and they want to know you. Once they know you, they want to or they need to like you. People only work with people that they trust.   15:48 There's no exact formula, but just start. You can take simple steps like creating a blog and putting those on your LinkedIn profile. You can simply use the ones that everybody uses. The challenge is that people have to understand and know that consistency is really the key to success. Create a system for yourself.   18:14 Making your podcast stand out: This is always a changing answer because the world is evolving. Share your story and tell them how you can help them. Podcast is people.   20:42 Knowing you're catching on: Give it 12 months to start to notice if there's traction, like the rubber's starting to meet the road. Commit 12 months to a podcast and commit wholeheartedly. Don't just record and then not talk about it to anyone.   23:51 Having a podcast—a stage for my audience—gave me opportunities and experiences of having a conversation with someone that I normally wouldn't have a conversation with.   26:37 Striking work-life balance: It's always learning, growing, and evolving. It is never truly 50-50. Be a family man with a business and not a businessman with a family (John Roman).

In Episode 002 of irRegular People, I'm joined by John Roman Saint-Jon, a hospitality professional living and working in the city of Chicago. John tells us about growing up on both the South and North sides of the city, about coming out as gay to his mother, and about the evolution of their relationship. We talk about his experience in the hospitality industry both before and during the age of Covid19, and about how much passion matters to John and to the world of food and beverage at large. John is tells the story of the end of his last relationship with a white man. The breakup happened during the pandemic and during the first week of the protests and riots surrounding the death of George Floyd, Brionna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and many other Black citizens who have died at the hands of police. I asked John to come onto the show and tell us the story of the end of his last relationship. One of the things that he told me that kept ringing in my head was, "Loving a Black person doesn't mean fighting for their rights." John found that out - first hand.John Roman Saint-Jon was born on the Southside of the city of Chicago. When he was around the age of seven, his mother moved him to the Northside neighborhood of Rogers Park. John moved from the all-Black environment of Southside housing project Stateway Gardens to an area populated mostly by white and LatinX residents. He was one of the only Black students at a private high school in the Portage Park neighborhood. John has spent his professional life in the hospitality industry in Chicago. He's been a busboy, a server, and a general manager - just to name a few of the positions he's held. He's worked for small, family-run establishments and high-volume behemoths run by large restaurant groups. John has worked with Rick Bayless, at one point traveling to Mexico City with him. John has a love of performance and theatre and hopes to work his way into the world of acting.---------Episode Credits: Produced, edited, engineered, and hosted by Calvin MartyMusic by Calvin Marty

Skin-n-Bones strips rock to its barest essence. The Scranton-based quintet built a hardcore following around its self-described brand of “dirty rock and roll.” The band just released its newest album of, “Listen Up.” For “Listen Up,” Skin-n-Bones worked with well known producer and musician Bret Alexander, formerly of the Badlees. Made up of veteran local musicians — Rob Rosencrans on lead vocals, Donny Engle on guitar, Todd Costantino on bass guitar, Paul Davies on drums and John Roman on guitar — Skin-n-Bones formed in 2009. Inspired by legendary acts like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Aerosmith and Guns N’ Roses, the band made a commitment to churning out “live, in-your-face rock and roll,”The band released its debut EP in 2010 while slowly building a fanbase. They helped their cause by landing opening slots for several national touring acts, including Charm City Devils, the Romantics, Jackyl, Queensryche, Tantric, Great White, Pop Evil, and Trapt. Like those bands, Skin-n-Bones’ set lists consist entirely of original songs — no covers. Meanwhile, the band is now in the process of booking a series of gigs in the coming months to promote “Listen Up.” “We’re just trying to get on the road and push it. I think when you hear it, you’ll like it, “We’re just trying to get it out there. Anyway, we can. We just want to be heard.” We also got the chance to talk to Chris Langan of Behind the Beat with Chris Langan. a professional drummer and educator, from Northeastern Pennsylvania, with over 30 years experience.

The album consists of eleven tracks, two of which have been aired on Phoenix’s 98KUPD “Into The Pit” and another that was chosen by indie horror film director, Bob Clark of Reel Bloody Films to be the title track of his movie, ‘Strip Club Massacre’. Since their debut, the band has ventured out on multiple North American tours rocking stages in New Mexico, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, throughout Southern California and The Viper Room in LA. They have shared the stage with headlining acts such as Attila, Exodus, Crowbar, The Browning and more. With a rapidly growing fanbase, the metal quartet landed themselves a number four spot in Phoenix New Times’ article for “13 Best Metal Bands In Metro Phoenix” on August 29, 2017. Murkocet comprises of vocalist Richie Jano, guitarist Nate Garrett, drummer Mike Mays and bassist Jared Pettit. Heavily influenced by Lamb of God, Slipknot, Hatebreed and the like, Murkocet combines their own musical talents to deliver a highly aggressive and unrelenting sound with a catchy melodic groove. The band’s main objective has always been to write material that would not only be exciting musically, but have a strong emphasis on crowd involvement. Their captivating live performance and high energy stage presence prescribes every audience a heavy dose. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/luciaandglynn/support

Below is a transcript of the interview yeah 0:05 speaking the show about effective speaking in public to the media at work 0:15 and in life speaking with TJ Walker 0:25 my guest today is as close as it comes to a natural-born salesman as I've ever 0:32 encountered Justin ledford is with us by the age of 18 he sold more than a 0:37 hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars worth of cutco knives 0:42 I don't know what that is but it sure sounds difficult by the time you is just 0:47 a college it sold more than a million dollars almost 2 million dollars worth 0:51 of other products he's also the author of visions to the top a millionaire 0:57 secret formula to productivity visualization and meditation Justin 1:04 thanks for joining us 1:05 TJ thank you so much for having me i really appreciate it 1:08 so is it a myth or is there such a thing as a natural-born salesman 1:13 um I think it's a myth because anybody can be taught how to communicate with 1:21 people effectively and anybody can be taught how to sell a product especially 1:28 if they find a passion behind what they're selling you know at the end of 1:32 the day we're all selling herself and meeting with people i mean we're always 1:38 selling herself and so I believe it's a myth 1:41 I fortunately had great training great mentors and I literally learned from the 1:47 best of the best in the business and just followed after them and did what 1:52 they did and had great success from that philosophy follow the best I want to 1:58 hear about your mentors in the beginning in a moment the first share with us one 2:04 of your top nuggets from the book visions to the top what are people gonna 2:09 learn from this 2:10 wow that's a great question i truly believe that more and more people need 2:15 to access their inner spiritual self what i mean by that is we all have the 2:21 ability to close our eyes focus on our breath and we all have the ability to 2:26 some people call meditation it's actually known as visualization Olympic 2:32 athletes they they all do this stuff 2:35 Michael Phelps he just won the gold medal 2:38 two girls in the volleyball arena in the Olympics they just won the gold medal as 2:44 well and in their interview they talked about visualization as being the key to 2:49 their success 2:50 visualization is a practice where you in the quietness of your home or your 2:55 office you close your eyes and you see your day as if you want it to happen so 3:02 i have put together the the four phases of visualization and basically it i 3:08 teach people how to access a calm state phase one is just being focusing on your 3:16 breath 3:16 phase two is past successes or you're focusing on you you literally go back in 3:25 time and you see past images in your mind images that were you want in life 3:30 or a moment in time where you are happy somebody gave you love a moment in time 3:35 where you were celebrating and that's in your past and you cycle through multiple 3:40 times of your past that's past images future vision future visions is phase 3:48 three 3:49 that's where you focus on how you want your day to go and you see your day as 3:54 if it's happening right there before you at the highest level of success what you 3:59 want to achieve for the week 4:01 see those things unfolding before you and what you want to achieve for the 4:05 month or the year I go as far as five years 10 years 15 years and the practice 4:11 is anywhere from five minutes to 30 minutes every morning and I've studied 4:17 literally like some of the most successful businesspeople spiritual 4:22 leaders athletes celebrities and there's one thing in common its visualization so 4:31 let me play devil's advocate with a moment because I i certainly think that 4:35 visualization can be an important part of any successful persons toolkit and 4:42 I've heard Michael Phelps talk about that as well but i also know that for 4:45 example Michael Phelps has watched in detail all of his gold medal 4:51 winds from the swimming sessions he's actually not just visualized himself 4:57 winning gold he's watched video of himself watching gold and he's been able 5:02 to see the ultimate vision video in front of him so I so my frustration is 5:08 when it comes to communication is I often hear so-called public speaking 5:14 experts say close your eyes and visualize a standing ovation or 5:19 visualize your audience loving you and my point is don't even think about doing 5:26 that until you've practiced your speech on video and actually seen a vision of 5:33 yourself on video speaking the way you want it 5:36 tell me at are very contradictory or am i off base now you're absolutely correct 5:40 you actually have to practice 5:43 I mean there is a study but published by some russian scientist and they took for 5:47 group of Olympic athletes group one did 100-percent physical training group to 5:53 did 75% physical training and twenty-five percent mental training 5:56 group 3 50 50 physical and fifty percent mental group for they did 25-percent 6:03 physical training and seventy-five percent mental training and they found 6:07 that over and over group for was the one who outperformed all of them 6:12 yes they did their physical training twenty-five percent of the time and 6:15 seventy-five percent of time they did their visualization the reason this is 6:19 because our mind literally the neuroscience behind it are mine gets 6:24 wired even though we're just sitting there closing our eyes and tapping into 6:28 those emotions and feelings and senses and imagery our mind don't knows no 6:34 difference it wires itself as if it's already happening and yes you do have to 6:39 take action 6:40 you do have to practice some of the greatest speakers tony robbins zig 6:45 ziglar jim rohn they off you know as well as I know TJ they practice there's 6:50 the presentation or their pitch or their whatever they wanted to come across 6:56 multiple times before they went onstage 6:58 the book is visions to the top a millionaire secret formula to 7:03 productivity visual 7:05 zation and meditation Justin ledford thanks for being our guest 7:10 you're very welcome okay stop timeout let's pull back the curtain now that was 7:15 sort of the typical length of an interview if you were on let's say a 7:20 public radio show or NBC's Today Show Good Morning America 56 minutes now 7:27 let's step back for a minute just it and tell us what we're trying to accomplish 7:33 their how did you prepare how do you typically prepare for an interview like 7:37 that how do i typically prepare for an interview like we just had 7:41 yeah I literally get into power pose 7:44 there's something called power poses and weak poses and imagine you're standing 7:48 there with your chest out 7:50 you have one hand on the table your your your focus on your breathing 7:54 that's a power pose and then imagine the week pose where you're here maybe one 7:59 hand is on your chin or your arms are crossed 8:03 you're slouching over they've done Studies on power poses and weak poses a 8:08 person who's in a power pose their brain releases testosterone and decreases 8:13 cortisol levels whenever they're in a week pose it's the opposite 8:17 they lose testosterone and increased cortisol so long story short what that 8:22 means there is a woman in the Olympics recently and all ten girls are 11 girls 8:27 are about to race and run for the sprint from the jumping over those little 8:31 things and one of these ladies was in a power pose jumping up and down constant 8:36 state of a power pose and the other girls are just standing there literally 8:41 not doing anything and it was mind-boggling to me because I knew what 8:47 she was doing 8:47 I knew she was increasing her blood with testosterone and we're reducing cortisol 8:53 from the power pose long story short once the gun was fired 8:57 she flew down the track and beat everybody house this house this 9:03 associated with communication when you're in a confident state or also 9:08 known as peak state you feel confident you feel ready and that's how I prepare 9:15 i show up in that state of mine confidence 9:19 and a peak state with my chest out ready to take on whatever somebody has to 9:23 offer and Justin this probably won't surprise you it might surprise some of 9:28 our listeners I'm standing right now are you standing or sitting i'm standing 9:32 both hands on my hips chest out 9:35 ok it we're two peas in a pod and we didn't we didn't coordinate that advance 9:41 the other just practical reason I think it's a good idea to stand for podcast 9:46 interviews radio interviews is you're more likely to gesture move your hands 9:51 you're more likely to breathe more deeply and I'm not someone who stood 9:56 historically puts a lot of emphasis on the whole breath thing but i do think 10:01 standing and not being all slumped over is an advantage for any sort of spoken 10:07 presentation I agree 10:09 whenever you're you can breathe in you you have more time to think and respond 10:15 instead of being so like it's easy 10:19 I've been on stage before my first you know presentations and business and I 10:23 wasn't breathing and i noticed i started getting nervous 10:26 so it's important to take a breath when you're in front of you know we have we 10:30 have professional communicators here listening to us it's important to take a 10:34 breath calm your mind and focus on what you need to focus on to close that deal 10:40 or get your point across 10:41 let's talk about focus what was your specific goal in the interview we just 10:45 did and what were the three or more or fewer messages you really wanted to 10:50 leave with the audience my specific goal on I really truly believe I've had a 10:57 crazy amount of success before the age of 30 have made millions of dollars i 11:01 have multiple businesses that produce millions of dollars in business and it's 11:06 all because my goal is I want more people to tap into their inner power 11:11 self their their level 10 life i want more people to understand that we can 11:17 all visualize I give keynote messages all the time literally twice a month and 11:24 whenever i do the visualization practice i see people with huge smiles I see 11:29 tears coming down her face while their eyes are closed going through the 11:32 this so what I want people to realizes we all have a great power within us we 11:38 sometimes forget you know it's like going to the gym the first time you go 11:42 you might not be so strong you might run it might be difficult but the second and 11:46 third and fifth and tenth time you start to enjoy yourself running that's your 11:51 physical body 11:52 I'm talking about your inner mental clarity and focus and and that whenever 11:57 somebody starts tapping in that regularly that's when they start to 12:01 become more powerful so my purpose is to help people tap into visualization and 12:07 meditation ultimately so they become more productive and fulfill their dreams 12:14 so let's ask our audience let's ask them to give you feedback if you picked up on 12:20 those messages from the interview 12:21 feel free to to send a tweet to Justin and your twitter handle is with your 12:30 Twitter handle 12:30 oh my goodness it's that's a great question i am i why and for that you 12:38 know I think presumptuous my why I'm on my wife desert my wife handles all that 12:43 well but you don't have to use Twitter my question should be actually what is 12:48 the social media outlet you prefer people communicate with you on it so 12:54 they can find me on instagram at just ledford dot-com somebody took justin so 13:01 it's j ust led ffordd or you can obviously find me on Facebook Justin 13:07 ledford or of course my book visions to the top . com it has a contact form or 13:12 just inlet for.net no good rule for those of you hosting podcast don't 13:19 assume everyone thinks the same you to who 13:22 same as you do i'm assuming people like to give out twitter for instant feedback 13:27 but instagram is the perfectly fine social media outlet where I am 13:32 profoundly ignorant so i'm showing my pious there so thanks for thanks for 13:38 sharing that and go ahead and contact him on Instagram with any thoughts you 13:44 have on the messages now 13:46 mention anthony robbins I it's been probably 10 years but I've been to one 13:49 of his seminars he doesn't awful lot with visualization so do many of the 13:55 other self-help gurus you mentioned what's different about your approach how 14:00 do you how do you communicate differentiation in your brand of and i 14:07 don't mean this pejoratively self-help but it is help for business people in 14:11 more than just business but life 14:13 how do you differentiate your take on visualization well one of the things 14:17 that I do with the audience that is listening to me whether it's in a 14:21 keynote environment or if the reading my book are listening to the audiobook is 14:27 there's something called a dreams list and it's you know what is a GPS do a GPS 14:33 takes you to point a to point b as fast as possible and we all have dreams that 14:39 we might not be fulfilling because we forgot about him 14:42 we we are busy with work our family and whatever the case might be so what I do 14:49 is I tap into people's dreams and simply put allow them to just get out a pen and 14:54 paper and we write dreams list physical intellectual spiritual emotional 15:00 material psychological and we go through several others and then we list out 325 15:06 per category and the thing about it is when people don't know what they want in 15:11 life how can they expect to get it when you go shoot up up bow and arrow you 15:17 have to know what you're trying to hit and that's the concept with the dreams 15:22 list so I tie the dreams list into the visualization practice and when I'm 15:26 guiding somebody through the visualization practice i say certain 15:30 things where they're able to see what they want to happen in their dream so I 15:37 might need money might not be i'm not a guru or anything I'm just a normal guy 15:41 who has had a lot of success before the age of 30 and i tribute that too hard 15:47 work and visualization and our guest today is justin leopard he's the author 15:53 of visions to the top a millionaire secret formula to productivity 15:57 visualization 15:59 and meditation it is available on amazon i read the kindle version lot of good 16:06 nuggets there i would urge you to check it out 16:09 by the way this program is brought to you by media training worldwide if you 16:14 would like a free no-obligation media training or presentation

addresses to various audiences conferences all over the country in the 16:37 world every month 16:39 what is your signature story that is an awesome story so when I was 18 years of 16:45 age I was having great success like you mentioned selling cutco knives which is 16:50 a really high-end kitchen knife that's made here in America and i cut my up i 16:56 was about to cut a pumpkin 16:58 i sat down on the floor to get better leverage i pulled a brand new knife out 17:02 of a sheath i put the pump the knife inside the pumpkin with my right hand I 17:06 put my left hand on the pumpkin and I push down and before I know that I i 17:12 dropped the knife for some reason and I felt this rush of heat go straight 17:17 through my hand I stood up and my hand was on fire and then all the sudden just 17:22 split open from out from my from my thumb all the way down to near my pinky 17:28 and at that moment I said to myself do not freak out I literally said that over 17:34 and over don't freak out 17:35 don't freak out what I I think I would be freaking out and because i knew i 17:39 could die if I'd freaked out blood 17:41 I mean I don't straight up man blood was gushing hitting my ceiling 17:46 I was hitting my fan was all over me all over my house my couch everything so I 17:50 ran inside my bathroom grabbed a purple towel rush wrap it around my arm went 17:57 outside started screaming for you by yourself i myself this is the day after 18:01 Halloween I went outside and I'm screaming how 18:04 path as long as I can and two people walk by me because my my apartment is 18:10 facing the the parking lot they thought I was joking they were literally 18:14 pointing at me like huh that's funny good prank and I'm screaming for help 18:19 fortunately somebody showed up by the grace of God at the you know nick of 18:23 time 18:24 drop me off to the hospital and I drop me off at the wrong location i had to 18:29 run to the ER and it with every run the blood was pumping from my arm with every 18:36 step and I get to the window and I'm like help help the lady said no no 18:42 you're fine just go sit down will be with you in a minute 18:45 I remember saying some curse words to her and hitting the window that she was 18:50 behind because I was dying you know and I go to the door 18:56 the big blue doors and I kick through the doors with all my might 19:00 ice cream how as loud as I can and the doctors they all they're pushing 19:06 patients this is behind the ER where doctors are supposed to go only and they 19:10 all look at me and start running to me I fall on the ground and i'm on the ground 19:16 bleeding out and this guy comes up to me he takes the purple towel off me it was 19:21 blue but now it's purple and he looks at my hand he's like oh my god what cut you 19:27 and I looked up at this guy and right in his eyes and I said cutco have you ever 19:34 heard of it it's okay i was still trying to sell the guy even though as died but 19:41 that was a great moment of my life I'd say that was a signature moment in my 19:45 life from that moment I realized you know I could make the choice to their 19:50 prescribing drugs because of the serious pain that I was in I I could have made 19:55 the choice to you know be a victim and play the victim mentality and all 20:01 woe is me but instead i realized that we are powerful we can accomplish anything 20:07 we want life and i decided to say no to what their prescribing and and heal 20:14 through my mind through meditation through prayer through this 20:18 organization there's a guy named dr. Emoto he studied water and the cells of 20:23 water something i highly recommend your audience look at and i decided to heal 20:29 myself and within a month the doctor by the way the doctor said you'll never use 20:33 your hand again he told me right in my eyes and I looked at him I said I will 20:38 not accept your diagnosis and then I woke up in a couple days later you know 20:45 within a week I was that back out in the field closing deals meeting with people 20:50 having a good time because i live by the five-minute rule if something happens in 20:54 my life and it's bad or good 20:57 let's just say it's a bad it happened I can't change it so why dwell on the past 21:03 you know some people get upset and bring it up a week or two or a month later for 21:08 me the five-minute rule i can i found out when i first learned about this 21:12 about 11 years ago I can be super upset stop my feet you know bigger and moan 21:17 but then it after five minutes I did that for like 30 seconds and i'm like 21:23 okay well I'm supposed to do this for five minutes and I'm already done I 21:26 don't have anything else to complain about 21:28 so after doing that the fourth or fifth time I realized you know what I can't 21:32 change it so let's just focus on what I can focus on and what I can achieve so 21:38 that's the moment in my life I'd like to share with your audience 21:41 anytime we go through challenges those are really just opportunities to see how 21:46 we're going to take it we're gonna grow from it or put our tail between our legs 21:51 and become weaker from it i chose to grow from it so how did you really start 21:57 selling your career at age 14 I was someone who was more comfortable public 22:05 speaking certainly than most kids i was one of these little student government 22:08 nerds running around giving speeches all the time and I had no problem doing that 22:14 but I could never sell anything I always came in last place for the magazine 22:18 sales in the candy sales for the various your baseball team your Cub Scout Troop 22:24 and I did try to sell i don't know if it was cutco knives but some sort of direct 22:30 sales thing I went out three days I think I sold nothing i was a kirby 22:36 vacuum cleaner salesman for three days so nothing so I have tremendous respect 22:42 for anyone especially the young age you can do that how did you do that 22:45 well i was actually mowing yards and doing odd jobs painting houses anything 22:50 of that nature at a young age I grew up in kind of a humble background you know 22:55 we didn't have everything 22:57 some of my friends more blessed and fortunate to have a nice home nice car 23:02 and my family went through a divorce at a young age and it was really 23:07 challenging I never wanted that to happen with my future family so I 23:11 realized it was mostly about money 23:14 the fights and stuff in my growing up so I realized I never wanted that so i 23:19 started as an entrepreneur at a young age I was that weird guy you know 23:23 selling candy in school I was you know selling the football tickets and and 23:29 just having car washes and and I always always like always very entrepreneurial 23:34 and one day I was painting a house i got a phone call while i was on a ladder and 23:40 was a guy named matt storm never remember it 23:43 he called me is super hot outside in Texas and asked if i was looking for 23:47 work I spilled the paint all over the house so obviously I was upset while I 23:51 was talking with him but he told me one of my friends had a lot of success which 23:56 I knew that guy was very successful 23:58 I went in for an interview and the rest is history and I just knocked it out of 24:04 the park once i got trained and started learning under the top people in the 24:07 business and what was the key to that just the ability to walk into any store 24:13 home and not worry about doors shut in your face or rejection is a numbers game 24:18 or how much of it is about just being a great communicator and good listener 24:23 once you've got someone 24:24 well you know in any business whether you're dealing with CEOs are trying to 24:28 close a prospect or you're dealing with your wife or husband or children you 24:32 have to know you have to listen to them and I wasn't afraid of hearing no 24:38 because you're right it is a numbers game so I'd go in people's houses and 24:43 just first and for 24:44 most how to win friends and influence people it's a great book I wanted to 24:49 become their friend first and foremost and by doing that if they like you and 24:54 they trust you then we'll do business with you 24:56 so that's what ended up happening people people like me because I was friendly 24:59 and I had a great product so they ended up buying it 25:04 so how've you continue to improve you obviously started honing your speaking 25:09 skills even if it's just one on one when you're 14 15 and selling knives 25:15 how do you continue to improve as a speaker and what what motivates you to 25:20 watch TED talks to watch old Ziggler videos you watch that's a great question 25:25 I'd say what motivates me I listen to podcasts literally every day on my way 25:29 to my office i rarely watch TV unless it's something very specific beneficial 25:35 knowledge because we are what we put inside of ourselves and if we're 25:39 listening to you know top-performing people speak and we're listening to you 25:44 know the best of the best 25:46 then it's going to rub off on us you know our level of income is in direct 25:49 proportion to the level of how much we're growing personally and we r who we 25:56 surround yourself with so i try to surround myself with you know very 26:00 successful people I'd like i said i don't watch very much TV unless it's a 26:05 documentary or something specific i do listen a TED talks all the time I love 26:10 your podcast and multiple other people's podcast knows that if you could share 26:15 with and thank you by the way but share with us some of the names of other 26:17 podcast you find particularly helpful very very good question i'd say Mady a 26:22 with millionaire mind set is one very good show podcast another one is how 26:29 Elrod with achieve your dreams 26:33 another one is the front row factor with John Roman the smart passive income 26:39 podcast with pat flynn those are a couple that just stick out to me but I'd 26:45 say the one that inspires me the most is John Roman the front row factor and how 26:49 I rod achieve your dreams never heard of those so i will check those out 26:54 certainly heard of pat flynn and do subscribe to his 26:56 podcast but the others are new to me so I will double-check that those out and 27:03 get the best speech you ever saw someone in person not necessarily on video or 27:10 Franklin Roosevelt's inaugural address but someone you saw in person the best 27:14 speech ever saw in person was in 2008 with a man named matthew kelly he wrote 27:19 the rhythm of life that book changed my life 27:22 he also wrote the dream manager that book also had a big influence of who i 27:28 am today Matthew Kelly is from Australia he's got this crazy awesome 27:33 Australian accent and he went up on stage and just dazzled me with how he 27:38 spoke his words and told his stories and it was just great man i left that 27:44 conference feeling like I was on fire and that was the best speech ever 27:48 listened to 27:49 ok and my next question it's okay did not mention somebody by name but can you 27:54 think of the worst speech you ever so on person to me it's peter low of the whole 28:00 success seminars to me he always seemed like sort of a bad parody of a 28:05 motivational speaker but is there anyone you can think of and if you want to just 28:09 describe them that's okay too 28:11 I can I can't on honestly think of like a bad speech that I've listened to I am 28:17 I could say that I've seen speeches where people weren't prepared where they 28:22 were shuffling through their notes where they weren't connecting with their 28:25 audience where they weren't getting their audience engaged 28:31 those are I can't nail one person is the worst speech I've ever heard but i can 28:36 say those simple things that if you're not connecting with your audience you 28:40 know shuffling your papers you're not prepared if you're standing in week 28:44 poses like i mentioned people can sense this stuff and those are some of the 28:50 things that i would say I've noticed bad speakers do any other major influences 28:57 on you as a communicator when you were growing up in particular TV announcers 29:02 are politicians you admired or respected because of their speaking skills 29:06 honestly my baseball coach he wasn't like a 29:09 you know the famous or anything but he had a really really big house and he had 29:13 a baseball field in his backyard and he was a drill sergeant and some when the 29:19 Marines or something like that and just the way he spoke to us he was caring but 29:24 at the same time he was Stern he was you know passionate and that the heat of the 29:29 moment like when we were in our baseball championship games but he was also you 29:34 know common collected when he needed to be 29:36 I didn't really watch much TV grown-up sorry don't have had nothing to be sorry 29:42 about i'm sure you will not be on your deathbed regretting a little TV you 29:46 watched yeah you just gave me a flashback talking about your baseball 29:51 coach I remember for completely different reasons the speech of my 29:56 little league football coach i was in fifth grade and everything out of the 30:01 coaches they were two coaches mouths was an obscenity and how I was brought up in 30:07 a very sort of cloistered protective Leave It to Beaver family great family 30:13 and your parents were mild mannered conservative southern baptist and I just 30:19 had never really heard a curse word other than you know once every five 30:23 years in a major crisis and i just remembered having this terrible you like 30:31 depressing almost like a slap in the face what I heard it from the football 30:36 coaches so it is amazing the things that can stick with you now for me that was 30:42 more than 40 years ago and that's amazing you brought that up because 30:46 things are ingrained in our subconscious mind forever 30:51 that's a fact and sometimes we can get rid of those things but our subconscious 30:56 is like it's like that you know hey you say the tip of the iceberg 31:01 while our conscious mind is the tip our subconscious is underneath the water its 31:05 deep its vast it goes on and on and on and on and that's your subconscious mind 31:10 clicking and saying hey remember that moment and i truly believe I mean that 31:16 I'm not the only one like i said i'm not a group if you know how to program your 31:19 subconscious mind you can achieve anything you 31:22 life i learned this 11 years ago when i first started in business and I've been 31:27 doing it since $YEAR and helped a lot 31:31 our guest is justin ledford he is the author of visions to the top a 31:36 millionaire secret formula to productivity visualization and 31:40 meditation available now on amazon and especially the kindle edition the 1i 31:47 read by the way this is speaking with TJ Walker you have any questions comments 31:54 suggestions for guests in the future criticisms critiques send it to me 31:58 directly on twitter at TJ Walker you can also email me TJ at media training 32:06 worldwide . com 32:09 is there anyone else you respect now in the business world political world media 32:16 world as a communicator and we're not really talking about their politics or 32:21 even what business there in but just their ability to communicate as far as 32:25 ability communicate i would say how alrod he is the creator of the miracle 32:31 morning which is incredible book that changed my life 32:35 he's one of the best speakers that I've ever listened to 32:38 same with jon berghoff jon berghoff is not very well known but companies hire 32:43 him like Vitamix he helped that company go from i think it was 50 that 50 32:49 million to over 200 million and one year he isn't very effective communicator i 32:56 don't really keep up with current events as much as some people do 33:01 I'm kind of in my own bubble of personal growth I like to listen to your podcast 33:05 and the other podcast i mentioned and then go close deals with people that's 33:11 pretty much what i'm doing throughout the day or giving speeches at 33:14 conferences let's talk about speeches you were speaking in an early age making 33:20 sales of your painting gigs everything else one-on-one but was the first time 33:25 you spoke and said you so okay that's an actual speech it's more than five people 33:30 it's not just a schoolroom 33:32 what was your first speech my first speech I'd have to say would be actually 33:39 at a cutco vent when I was 18 years of age I had an awesome summer I was 33:44 produced over at five hundred thousand dollars in sales personally and over a 33:48 hundred twenty-five thousand dollars as a manager I train people and taught them 33:52 how to sell and I was in room with 500 people in Arizona at a big conference 33:57 and I remember just the feeling of just nailing that conversate that that speech 34:03 people standing up clapping it was a great feeling man 34:07 well that's if only we could all have so many nice successes to start with that 34:14 is it a good benchmark some people have great first speeches son like Barbara 34:20 Corcoran the famed real estate investor who is now on shark tank always talks 34:25 about our very first speech she stood up 1,000 people and her just throws nothing 34:31 came out of her mouth and she ran out of the room 34:34 it's but things turned out for her to you know speaks all over the place it's 34:38 a muscle TJ it really is my first speech ever 34:41 it was a childhood play and school I don't know how old i was i was a sheriff 34:46 and I remember being nervous and you know feeling anxiety as a kid I remember 34:51 these feelings today and the first time I didn't do so well and then the second 34:56 time and third that you know you get better with practice 34:59 they say practice makes perfect but i like to say if you try to practice 35:03 perfectly 35:05 that's how you get it perfect and any star athletes have bad days had 35:11 strikeouts 35:13 what are some of your bad speeches surely you must have had some that 35:16 weren't quite as smooth as the first one 35:18 some of my bad speech is let's see i was trying to I'm trying to think my worst 35:26 speech i I've been brutal stages before I I've tried fallen off the stage before 35:33 that stuff my worst speech ever happened when i was $DAY i was young I you know 35:41 19 years old I started to try to sell to real estate agents inside of their 35:45 office 35:46 so I'm used to one-on-one personal person i tried to do business to 35:50 business sales but the thing is i have to go in and do a team meeting where 35:55 there's like a hundred or two hundred real estate agents and I tried that and 35:59 the people in my business that do that phenomenally but when I tried it I 36:03 didn't do so well and I didn't have that immediate success that I would use to 36:07 having so i decided to stick with my strength my strengths were one-on-one 36:13 with the people you know I've been referred to and that's the thing with 36:17 your with your communicating your audience that communicates find out what 36:21 your strengths are and focus on those strengths 36:25 that's what you want to focus on that's what I do in my business and in all 36:31 parts of my life as well and its really helped me go very far by focusing on my 36:36 strength I do agree that that's generally the best way to go too many 36:43 people obsess over the the two-percent area where they're not doing something 36:46 right 36:47 so for example i am just not a good stand-up comic i took a stand up comedy 36:51 class 20 years ago never got to the point where I really felt like it was 36:57 working even with a test audience of friends in the stand-up comedy class and 37:02 you know what I just don't do stand-up comedy and no one's been disappointed 37:08 on the other hand i was doing an interview at ABC couple years ago my 37:16 wife was with me and she said you started every single answer using the 37:22 word well I didn't say our arm but I said well so i did have a problem there 37:30 and i decided to improve so I wrote out the word well but the International no 37:35 sign around it like no left-hand turn no parking and I tape that sign on my cell 37:40 phone computer and a few other places and drastically reduce it so we all have 37:47 flaws i know i'm certainly not perfect 37:52 do you see any flaws you have now as a speaker where are you still trying to 37:56 improve as a communicator 37:57 yeah 37:58 I feel I definitely have flaws and I feel I always find myself doing things 38:03 last minute I i like to rush I like that feeling of showing up in a peak state 38:10 and just nailing that moment so I should probably spend more time planning and 38:14 preparing and by what i mean by that 38:17 I kind of live in the philosophy of ready shoot aim instead of the 38:23 philosophy of set of the philosophy 38:25 ready aim fire so it helps me in the past but it's also hurt me in the past 38:33 so I should probably be more prepared 38:36 that's one of my flaws and speaking of not being fully prepared 38:42 can you think of your i'll give the opportunity positive to your worst media 38:47 interview ever 38:48 and your best media interview my worst media interview ever and my best okay so 38:55 I'm gonna start with my best my best interview ever or speech ever 39:01 it was funny enough it happened last week I was a keynote speaker at a 39:05 conference in Arizona or it could have been a two months ago in Houston there 39:10 they both felt the same just awesomeness if that's even a word that the speech 39:15 was titled visions to the top obvious in my book and I basically felt like tony 39:20 robbins because the room was interacting their answering questions people came up 39:26 on stage and I did some mental psychological techniques on them the 39:31 connection in the room was it was really on point at the end of it people were 39:35 crying during in at the end people were crying with joy the negative ones in the 39:40 room they ended up being cheerful and happy and the managers of each division 39:45 they contacted me afterwards and they said their teams were noticeably doing 39:49 better in performance and more productive so that would have to say one 39:53 of my best training some cells people in different states especially that last 39:58 statement that people were contacting you after the fact seeing an actual 40:02 change of performance because that's the hard part getting a tier or standing 40:07 ovation for a lot of people can be easy but it's all forgot 40:12 sometimes hours even minutes later 40:16 yeah you got to give them like a plan of action you know okay so what did we 40:20 learn today 40:21 one two three and then you know you get them something to do rather than feel 40:28 people they will remember how you made them feel but if you give them a plan of 40:32 action with that feeling they'll go home and do that action since you made them 40:37 feel great now my worst interview man thats I i don't want to sound like i 40:44 don't consider anything but i'm i'm really trying to have a hard time my 40:49 worst interview okay so this was I here we go 40:52 I was on bourbon street at the crowne plaza hotel I was a keynote message for 40:56 young college students who were also in sales and there was just a lot of 41:02 distractions i'm going to blame it on the distractions like bourbon street and 41:05 you know a TD and these kids I was the last person to speak so they were ready 41:10 to get you know go and have fun 41:13 someone to blame it on that but I also that does seem like a less than ideal 41:18 scenario and inform hat for a serious interview is a 41:23 I well remember when I was young on Bourbon Street and listening to people 41:28 pontificate on anything serious who is not the top priority and you know as far 41:32 as your audience goes like if I have found that the introduction is the 41:37 biggest one of the most important things the district manager he didn't introduce 41:42 me properly 41:43 he just like hey this is just left he's awesome let's let's hear him talk 41:47 instead of what I'm used to this guy has succeeded ah he's doing great and here's 41:53 why you should let you know the introduction whenever you're meeting 41:56 somebody or introducing somebody make that person feel special and what 42:01 happens is they become more receptive to you and open to listening and this is 42:06 slightly different but related how do you introduce yourself let's say you're 42:10 at a speaker's convention or some conference and all the sudden it's 30 42:16 people the room and they say okay let's all go up us all stand up and introduce 42:19 ourselves for 20-30 seconds how do you introduce yourself in that situation 42:24 because I know a lot of people who are articulate and accomplished suddenly 42:30 turn into just the most boring name rank and serial number people when that 42:36 happens first of all I would stand in a power pose and I would smile and that's 42:43 a how's everybody doing and I get some odd get some interaction with the stage 42:48 or with the group whoever i'm talking to and then if there was no interaction i'd 42:53 say i'm sorry i can't see very well and I put my hand on my ear and say how is 42:59 everybody doing in the next thing you know everybody's like we're doing great 43:02 so I get some interaction and then save guys my name is Justin ledford i'm not a 43:08 guru I'm just a young man who has a passion and a dream to help people 43:12 become a better version of themselves 43:14 I've had a lot of success before the age of 30 and i just have a message 43:20 it's inside my book visions to the top I teach people how to use visualization 43:23 how to use meditation and ultimately live a dream fulfilled life you know 43:29 that's basically what i would do 43:31 I'd say whether whether you're super successful in life or maybe you haven't 43:36 made it to the success that you want 43:38 it's like a buffet platter it has nuggets of wisdom inside of it that can 43:43 teach anybody at any walk of life and that's something you're interested in 43:48 you should come check we should have a conversation and I did it with a smile 43:52 and just a hot you know waving my hands people can sense if you're if you're 43:57 stuck up and stubborn and you know I like to have fun with life i wear 44:02 flip-flops you know I'm just a laid back kind of dude who home wearing Crocs 44:07 right now myself away but with we heard two peas in a pod it sounds like an 44:12 awesome i want to hear from you I don't certainly want to end on a negative note 44:18 but i do want to know what you think is some of the worst communication advice 44:23 out there because anybody can call themselves a communications expert or 44:27 are you communications guru that to use that word that I think you're not a huge 44:32 fan of what i want to know what some of the best 44:35 communication advise you think there is that isn't it either isn't followed or 44:41 people just don't stop to think about but I also want to know what bad advice 44:46 is out there that you think people should really tion absolutely that is a 44:51 great question and I will say as far as like the best advice goes you know 44:58 there's a quote that I've i live by 45:01 let's see if I can find it it's from jim rome and he said I'm having a hard time 45:07 finding it would be basically said your level of income is in direct proportion 45:14 to the amount of time you spend growing yourself and as far as communication 45:20 goes know who your audiences that's one of the best piece of advice know who 45:26 they are know what their struggles r know what their strengths are know what 45:31 they're trying to accomplish know where they're having difficulties and if you 45:37 can know that come from a place of value 45:40 how can I offer value to this audience whenever I got that in my head by 45:46 offering value people that helped me in my communication tremendously so that's 45:52 a one of the best pieces of communication that people rarely follow 45:56 know your audience and offer value to them now 45:59 did you ask me about the worst communication advice yes I'd say worse 46:05 communication device 46:07 great question uh going up and not being confident not looking people in the eye 46:15 not connecting with your audience not interacting with them these are things 46:20 I've mentioned before but I've seen it before when they're up on stage in there 46:24 they're just kind of going through the motions you know conceded like that's 46:29 not good you want to connect with your audience and get them interacted that 46:34 would be my tip and are there ways of interaction that just don't work out i 46:41 will be honest with you I personally just 46:44 really don't like it when a speaker gets up and says how's everyone doing today 46:51 or you know who here wants to make more money to me always feels very contrived 46:58 and like they're manipulating me it's like okay I have to raise my hand and 47:02 say something 47:04 how do you how do you make this judgment between the right amount of engagement 47:09 versus something that can maybe half the audience likes be the other half thinks 47:13 is cheesy and manipulative 47:16 that's a great question you really got to feel your audience out and they're 47:20 you're right TJ there's people who don't like don't like that stuff so there's 47:25 ways around it 47:27 what you do is you change their physiology and what I do is when i 47:31 noticed that kind of weirdness in the audience 47:33 I'll get them to say everybody stand up please grab all your belongings 47:37 I need everybody to take a deep breath in and a lot of times as they need to 47:41 breathe and then ok next I want you to turn to your neighbor on your right and 47:45 give my little massage turn to your left and give a little massage and that 47:49 changes their physiology changes their mental state and then if I see it again 47:53 in the presentation I will literally all guide the audience if it's a one-on-one 48:00 will walk somewhere else and change the atmosphere if it's a group presentation 48:04 i'll change it up and we'll go we'll all get them to move into a different 48:10 location 48:11 whenever it's like a hundred or 200 plus people will have everybody switch seats 48:15 that changes the philosophy physiology of people and it kind of throws them off 48:20 a little bit and then they're they're back in peak state and final question 48:27 just what is it you want my audience to do well the is av audio sounds 48:34 pretentious amari audience what am I rush limbaugh been doing this for 50 48:37 years now what you want the listeners to the bizzle of this show to do 48:42 well you know obviously I appreciate asking i would love your audience to 48:46 pick up a copy of my book i'm actually for your audience i'm giving away that 48:49 first two chapters for free just so they can get a feel for it 48:53 I want them to read that at visions to the top . 48:57 Tom against visions to the top calm and if you like it be a supporter join our 49:03 Facebook community there's people all around the world 49:06 I never would have expected this Russia China Japan all over Europe emailing me 49:11 everyday telling me how this tactic or this technique has really helped them 49:16 and business are in their health so I want your audience to become the best 49:20 version of themselves and that how does that happen it happens by personal 49:25 growth whenever people are personally growing that's when better better this 49:31 begins it allows them to focus on contribution and and living a better 49:37 life you know as well as I know TJ whenever you learn something new you 49:42 want to share it with somebody right of course 49:46 so I want your audience to be the best communicators possible learn how to 49:51 visualize and definitely pick up a copy of my book visions to the top calm and 49:56 they could find you on facebook just by typing in Justin ledford that is
