"So if you sit next to somebody every day, and they have a meat pie or a pizza for lunch, then you're more likely to want to have a meat pie and pizza - a negative influence on you.

Funnel and marketing wiz Josh Marsden shares the tools and processes of his trade.
You've been misled. Airtight acquisition funnels are not something you can knock out over an episode of Seinfeld. Sure, they're easy to assemble; the best of us can scrawl one out on a whiteboard or build a rough mind-map. Josh Marsden, however, spends four to five months in the trenches crafting marketing campaigns in their entirety — landing pages emails, ads, the customer journey, and every permutation thereof. Yet even the best campaigns don’t keep businesses afloat; granular data does. So which KPIs specifically spell the difference between growth and regression? The sales funnel expert threw it all on the table in this can’t-miss episode of MODERN ONTRAPRENEUR.
Josh and his company specialize in Online Sales Funnels, the most critical process for business stability and growth. He has been personally trained by Ryan Deiss, Ryan Levesque, and several other industry experts. He’s also a single father to Benjamin, an adventure seeker, fitness junkie, and a daredevil.

Today is the second half of Josh Marsden and Ben Thompson's interview with entrepreneur, game developer, podcast host and equality advocate Brianna Wu. Brianna Wu learned a ton from her parents and thanks them for a number of opportunities in her life. As a child, if she ever wanted to learn something, her parents gave her the resources and told her to 'go figure it out.' That mentality taught Brianna to be self sufficient and independent. When Brianna sets her sights on something, she sticks with it until she makes it happen. "The Giant Spacekat Starship should have exploded many times but we pushed through." This attitude is evident not only in her company Giant Spacekat, but also in her actions for equality in the tech industry. Brianna Wu left us with some valuable lessons: Exercise, the mind cannot live without the body Be honest with yourself, keep on your 'mission objectives' Get a support network of friends Here are some additional links: Google Guys on Amazon and iTunes Revolution 60 for the iPhone and iPad Follow Brianna on Twitter or just 'read the news' As always, a special thank you to The Strand for our intro and outro music!
Today is the first half of Josh Marsden and Ben Thompson's interview with entrepreneur, game developer, podcast host and equality advocate Brianna Wu. It is difficult for Brianna Wu to build her utopia right now, considering the stand she has taken in the fight for equal rights in the tech industry. Due to this, she has unfortunately received numerous threats against her person and her life. This is a deplorable situation and a testament to Brianna's conviction and personality to stand up to the threats and fight for equality. Brianna's commitment to better treatment in the tech industry is evident in her company. Everyone knows about 'crunch time' in the game development industry and her views on how to handle it comes out in her interview. Part 2 of Brianna Wu's interview will be out later this week.

Today on Build Your Utopia, we have an exciting guest, someone who has traveled the world, produced film projects on several continents, and is just a remarkable human being, Morgan Paar. Morgan is a film director, still photographer, and teacher of film making. He has also published over 200 articles and columns in technology, pop culture, and travel. Morgan has 2 degrees in film and started his professional path into owning and running a film production company in 1986 after first experimenting with film equipment. Morgan lived in Taiwan for 2-3 years, came back to the states for Grad School to be able to teach, lived in the bay area for 12 years, completed film projects, music videos, and film work for the film industry during this time. Shortly after he traveled abroad, and as he traveled he realized he wanted to experience the world. It was during this experience that Morgan discovered one of his passions that he wanted to focus on for his path into entrepreneurship, travel. Morgan and his girlfriend now run Nomadic Frames. The company focuses on international film projects so he can combine his two passions of traveling with film. His Utopia of building Nomadic Frames has allowed him to visit Africa a staggering 8 times, Greece, England, Taiwan, and other countries. Of note, out of all his travels, Palo Hwan of the Philippines has been his favorite place so far where he biked through the breathtaking countryside. Another factor that has drove him to build his current Utopia has been staying away from "the 9-5", since he hates cubicles, is happiest when he’s implementing his own ideas, and likes to work irregular hours. Currently Morgan is contemplating a move to either the Vietnam or Amsterdam because NYC is very competitive to find film or teaching work. For example, others that want to teach in NYC have Academy Awards, which he doesn’t. To accomplish this goal of moving to another country, he’s working on marrying someone that is a UK citizen… (really, listen to the show) His top catalysts for building his current Utopia was his mom who said to go to college and don't have a kid until you are ready and his Uncle Lou who made it a rule for him to find a job, any job, in the film industry for paying for his Grad school. Altogether, friends, family, and his girlfriend, have all helped him in some way attain his current Utopia. This shows the power of relationships. Morgan loves his work so his idea of not working is “working” by staying up on industry trends, camping, hiking, and futbol aka soccer. He’s the Secretary of Arsenal’s (Arsenal is a soccer team) supporters group in NYC. A massive value bomb that we discussed with Morgan was his tip for Utopians: focus on passion. Utopian Quote of the Show "Always strive to provide value without expecting anything in return. "- Josh Marsden and Morgan Paar During the show, Josh mentioned the quote above which was born out of one of Morgan's stories. His stories theme was to not think about yourself. Don’t think about what you are getting out of it. Think "what are you bringing?" Morgan's 3 tips for Utopians were: Do what you love Be careful of distractions Be confident and take chances Another off the record takeaway he shared with us and Utopians that the biggest mistake he made in his education was that he did not participate in internships while he was in college. Instead he focused on partying and girls. (like many of you, including Ben and Josh) Out of his undergrad, he graduated with honors, and barely knew he has a passion to make participating in film his life's purpose. Then when he went to grad school and finished his Masters of Fine Arts in Film, he graduated with the mentality “who wants me?” expecting opportunities to come his way. He came to the realization that he should have networked more and potentially spent time in an internship. Not making industry connections are his biggest regret. Finally, on a closing note, get out of your comfort zone and practice outlets in moderation. Both are valuable tips that only added to the wealth of value in this episode. Thanks again to Morgan for being on the show. If you are interested in reaching out to him and discussing potential film projects (he is one of the hidden gems in the film industry), shoot him an email at info@nomadicframes.com and check out some of his work on Vimeo. As always, a special thank you to The Strand for our intro and outro music!
We have a great show for you today about riding the Gravy Train to Utopia Town! You will understand what we are getting at by the end of these show notes. To start off the show, Ben and Josh discuss their current Utopias. Ben just got a promotion to a senior level at his company! Yay Ben! He anticipates his coworkers won't be too thrilled since some have been there much longer than him but that just shows that hard work and exceeding expectations pays off. His promotion will be officially announced next week at his company's "Town Hall" meeting. With this, he received a pay grade that gets him one step closer to his overall Utopia. Ben's wife went back to school so that means that Ben now has more freedom! Just kidding.. Ben loves his wife very much. Josh has had a very busy life lately. Between providing impactful service to companies and becoming a charter member of the Digital Marketer Certified Partner program, Josh feels very fortunate he is being bombarded with a wealth of opportunities. His Utopia currently consists of continuing to provide the services that his team provides to clients while also expanding on, what he now calls, the Accelerate brand. He is currently in the midst of launching the CVO Acceleration brand. CVO stands for Customer Value Optimization. (You can learn more about it here.) This new brand is going to offer a much more intensive, intimate, and extensive level of service so he can help companies that are successful but are still missing opportunities in the online space. As far as the show, downloads have increased consistently every month so far, and we have received a wealth of positive reviews. Just this past week, Josh and Ben also planned some exciting improvements and developments for the podcast and business for 2015.For one, Josh and Ben improved on the questionnaire that serves as the basis of the discussions with guests. This reflects on one of the overall takeaways up this point that the show has provided: the value of planning! Planning is huge and everyone should be doing it throughout the year to make 2015 the best year ever! Josh even took a tip from Graham English on our show about planning tasks daily! He now uses one of his smaller whiteboards to plan out his tasks on a daily basis. In this show, Josh and Ben also spend time reflecting on this past week with Joe Fairless, who was a fantastic and inspirational guest that gives back in many different ways. This also led to Ben and Josh mentioning why Joe stays in NY, because of his flag football team. Josh says it is because Joe is from Texas. Ben, who knows very little about football, doesn't understand. Josh believes Texas produces more collegiate football players than any other state. Ben, who knows nothing about football, would not take Josh up on this bet. Which actually led to Ben bringing up how Josh owes Ben pizza and a pitcher of beer from a previous bet in Episode 15: Is there more coffee in tea vs. coffee? Joe left a wealth of value bombs in this past week's episode. Joe believes that everyone should be a "Sampler of Experiences." Josh and Ben couldn't agree more and reinforces Joe's recommendation to use Groupon to be able to do this. Utopian Quotes of the Show "You only have a limited time on Earth so maximize it!" -Josh Marsden, Build Your Utopia Joe also recommended to Utopians that people know what they are good at and go all in. Ben and Josh discuss how some people possess limited beliefs about what they are good at and that everyone should build themselves up to believe in themselves. Everyone has something of value to offer the world. Believe in what you are good at and follow through with it. Finally, Joe also recommended to Utopians that they realize how they are benefiting others. This caused Ben and Josh to reflect on the show and how the show provides value to Utopians. This is what Josh and Ben hope Utopians get out of the show: Inspiration from our valued guests Relatability to us, our guests, and the challenges that everyone faces with work-life balance Tips on how to overcome that work-life balance challenge To be thankful for everything in your life To set goals, daily, weekly, yearly, and more To wrap the show, Ben says that Utopians should join us on the Gravy Train to Utopia Town, be inspired, and keep working towards your Utopia! (This is the same Ben that cringes at the term "value bombs" and he comes up with this?!) As always, a special thank you to The Strand for our intro and outro music!
In this episode of Build Your Utopia, Ben Thompson and Josh Marsden review this week's valuable content from John Allen Mollenhauer, an expert in Superfoods and Life Performance Optimization. This week's episode was very, very powerful. If you haven't listened to it, listen to it here. During this episode, we discuss the long list of take-ways from that episode and how we personally feel about some of the wisdom dropped in John's interview. To start, we discussed how hard it is to juggle life when you run a business. As you may know, Josh Marsden, Co-Host of Build Your Utopia, runs ICE Accelerate Marketing Automation Services, a full featured digital marketing agency. Josh started his entrepreneurial journey in late 2012 and discusses how lonely the journey can be at times. If you have any interest in being an entrepreneur, prepare yourself for how alone it can feel at times. However, to quote John's interview "It's our true nature to move forward and not rest." Therefore, it's in our DNA to endure challenges. Loneliness is just one of the many challenges that you face as an entrepreneur. John's personal utopia this week was also very impactful and humbling. Josh and Ben both agree that it's about what you have, not what you want, and appreciating it. Hilariously, this led to a comparison of cars between Josh and Ben that you'll have to listen to that ends with a personal story from Josh on how he ended up purchasing a BMW. (If you want to get the best deal possible on a car, the secret is in the episode.) Next, Josh and Ben break down John's discussion on Performance Addiction. To both hosts, suffering from performance addiction can easily landslid into being negative because of the use of negative-reinforced motivations. Finally, both hosts discuss how the launch of Build Your Utopia went. If you have any interest in starting up a podcast, don't miss it. You'll learn from our mistakes! Thank you for stopping by Build Your Utopia, being a loyal follower, and listening to our show. Our next guest, Matt Maszczak of Balance is Bunk, who offers a startling, conflicting view on a work-life balance. Stay Tuned!

In today’s episode, we put our co-host Josh Marsden on the hot seat! You will find out what Josh’s personal Utopia is that he is aiming for, what makes him happy, and why. Like many single hard-working entrepreneurs, Josh is looking for that one person that makes him feel complete. The challenge is finding that one person when you are trying to run a successful company, it takes so much time! Josh loves two Benjamins, for good reasons. Find out what shaped Build Your Utopia’s other half in his early years and the struggles that he saw as a child that molded him to be a money-motivated, success-driven, Type A, hard working, ambitious man. As hard as it was for Josh to share this, he speaks about some of the the fights he saw as a child, how his relationship with his father impacts him today, and what he wants for his son, Benjamin. What you will find here are several examples of how Josh takes negatives throughout his life and turns them into positives. When college didn’t work out the first time, he partied.. POSITIVE. When Josh didn’t have money, he took out credit cards… POSITIVE. When early adulthood didn’t go as planned.. the military came calling… POSITIVE. Which positives are actual positives? Find out in this episode. Finally, if you need a private PLUS college loan, just sign your mother’s name on the loan application. It works.. Turn off the switch of insanity from being plugged into your business or goals, relax, and listen to this show. On a closing note, having too many goals.. can be overwhelming. As always, a special thank you to The Strand for our intro and outro music! Utopian Quote of the Show “We all have subjective eyes to a realistic lens” - Josh Marsden
Why would a successful, top representative at a Fortune 100 company want to start Build Your Utopia, a podcast about identifying and crushing your goals while maintaining your work-life balance? Ben Thompson, co-host of Build Your Utopia, is this guy. Call him the "no" man.. just kidding. He's just not the typically, politically-charged, "yes" man, that you find throughout most corporate crypts.. I mean settings. What does Ben love? What keeps him happy? In this episode all this is shared and more. During this first interview led episode, Ben shares with Utopians what his personal Utopia is. Does he want to live on a beach? Drink mojitos all day? What is Ben's personal Utopia? Find out about Ben's background that led to his current Utopia with his lovely wife, Tahnee. This is the same interview structure that you can expect in our future episodes with some truly remarkable people that we have coming on the show. Finally, find out what you should be looking for in love. Not that we are love doctors... As always, a special thank you to The Strand for our intro and outro music! P.S. We recommend the TX-875...

Why did we create Build Your Utopia? Join us for today's very first episode as we discuss with you, our esteemed audience, why we created Build Your Utopia. This process took us several months of hard work, sweat, tears, and labor. However, because it meant so much to us, we didn't sweat it. In fact, we loved it because of how we believe in what the podcast can do for others, what it can inspire you to achieve, and how it can help you overcome the #1 challenge (in our humble opinions) as to why people fail to live fruitful, meaningful, and rich with content lives. What makes this show different from any others is how we are bringing on so many successful and inspirational guests, sometimes multiple guests all at once on the show. The entertainment value is phenomenal when you have multiple people discussing the same topic and we feel that brings something very unique to the podcasting world. You'll also find out in this episode how we created our interview structure, starting with how we came up with our Avatar. No, no, no.. I'm not talking about that great James Cameron flick that made more money than every 3rd world country has combined. C'mon James.. donate! Listen to the show to find out what an Avatar is. Also, one unique fact that you'll find out about the show is how we are creating a show for people born in the 1500s. Say what?! Finally, find out how you can have your voice heard on Build Your Utopia. This show is for you and we want to hear from you. The lineup is very exciting and we can't wait for you to hear our next episodes! Stay Tuned. As always, a special thank you to The Strand for our intro and outro music!
