Julio and guest co-host Jamilah King discuss Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's reaction to the horrific mass shooting in Cleveland, Texas and the lawsuit between Disney and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Then in our roundtable, Maria and Julio are joined by Danielle Moodie, host of the podcast Woke AF Daily and co-host of The New Abnormal and Democracy-ish podcasts, to talk about the 2024 presidential election, the impact of Twitter on the media, and the legal battle over access to the abortion pill, mifepristone. ITT Staff Picks: Eugene Robinson talks about Greg Abbott's inappropriate response to the massacre in Texas and how the U.S. having more guns than people and a lack of gun control is what ultimately leads to mass shootings, in this opinion piece for The Washington Post. Norman Eisen and Josh Stanton analyze the lawsuit between Disney and DeSantis in this opinion piece for MSNBC. “Although emergency orders in time-sensitive cases had long been a part of the high court's work, in recent years the volume, breadth, and partisan valence of the justices' rulings in such matters had changed,” writes Adam Serwer in this piece for The Atlantic.

On the show today, I want to give you a few podcast examples that will help you in various areas of your show. These are podcasts that I feel do many things well that you can model. We will also talk about a few of my past episodes. After over 330 podcast episodes, you and I have discussed quite a few topics. I looked at my stats the other day and pulled up my 6 most popular shows. If you are looking for the episodes that have had the most impact, you can give these a listen to help you on your podcast journey as well. You can find a link to all of these podcasts in the show notes at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/examples. THE BEST Picking the best is always subjective. What I like you may not. That's the great thing about podcasting. If you don't like one host or show, you can probably find a dozen other shows on the same subject. The quality of podcast examples depends on the niche and your tastes. Just like radio formats. One size definitely does NOT fit all. I will give you a few that I feel do well in particular areas. You can take a listen and decide for yourself. INTERVIEWS In terms of hosts that conduct solid interviewers, there are three that I really like. Malcolm Gladwell on Broken Record does great interviews, though he isn't the only host of the show. The show is sort of album liner notes come to life. Broken Record brings you conversations with artists in a world without liner notes for a new audience of music lovers. Michael O'Neal on the Solopreneur Hour podcast is a great interviewer. He creates real conversations. They can sometimes be a bit long. Solopreneur Hour is a podcast of lively conversations, candid insights and bold advice for proudly unemployable people who are primed for real prosperity and fulfillment. Michael talks with the best and brightest solopreneurs from all walks of life. Barbara Corcoran has a lot of fun with her inteviews on Business Unusual. You know Barbara from Shark Tank. She reminds me of my mom and has tons of fun. I really like the older episodes before COVID hit. Her conversations with listeners were a lot more engaging. In the description, Barbara says, "Life is too short to waste your time practicing someone else's fancy theory on success. I give you the straight talk and the confidence to get there." Though I'm not a big fan, Howard Stern does amazing interviews. He usually asks exactly what the listener is thinking. CO-HOSTS When it comes to co-hosts, you need to ensure hosts have different personalities and opinions. If both are the same, one of them isn't necessary. Matthew and Elysha Dicks host Speak Up Storytelling podcast. This is a great example of co-hosts who compliment each other quite well. Unlike most storytelling podcasts, which offer you one or more outstanding stories to listen to and enjoy, this podcast seeks to entertain while also providing some specific, actionable lessons on storytelling. Screw The Nine To Five podcast is hosted by husband and wife team of Jill and Josh Stanton. They are real, sometime brash and always funny. This is a great example of two personalities really playing off each other. They have the same goal, but different approaches. BUSINESS Shane Sams on the Flipped Lifestyle podcast does a great job at giving you ideas you can actually use. This isn't just tips and tricks found on the internet. Shane has done it. The thing I love about Shane's podcast is that he promotes his membership site and courses without being over-the-top salesy. This is a great example of using your show to drive your business without being a total infomercial. Marc Mawhinney hosts the Natural Born Coaches podcast. He helps coaches. Pretty obvious. Love the title. Marc uses his podcast to boost his JV relationships. He is typically interviewing experts in the online space. They provide great information. At the end of most episodes, they invite you to a webinar. This is a great example of leveraging interviews to drive revenue. SOLO One of the best solo shows I listen to is 48 Days To The Work You Love with Dan Miller. Dan spends 48 minutes every week answering questions. He is engaging and captivating having a conversation directly with you while doing it all on his own. Dave Jackson over at School of Podcasting also does a solid solo show. Carrying a show by yourself and connecting with the listener isn't easy. Dave does it every week. If you're looking for another great show about podcasting, check out Dave. Let's get into the six most popular episodes of Podcast Talent Coach. YOUR VOICE The first is Like Your Voice – PTC223. "I hate the way I sound." I hear that complaint quite often. Many people do not like the sound of their own voice. It is quite common. It is also quite natural to dislike the sound of you own voice when hearing a recorded version of it. When you talk, the bones in your head vibrate adding to the qualities you naturally hear. When you hear a recording of your voice, those vibrations are absent causing your voice to sound different to you. The natural bone vibrations also make you do some unnecessary acrobatics with your voice when using headphones. The bone vibrations combined with the enclosed nature of your headphones cause you to hear the big announcer voice in a much different way the listener hears it. You tend to speak in ways you don't normally speak in everyday conversation. The thing we fear most is not death but humiliation. Listeners can tell in the first few words if you are excited and in the zone. Your inner critic never congratulates you. There are seven steps you can take to make your voice sound more natural and get you on the path to enjoying the sound of your voice. You will discover all seven in this episode. DOWNLOADS The next is How To Increase Your Downloads – PTC209. Most of us want to grow our audience, increase downloads and become more influential in our niche. I recently conducted a survey asking about your biggest challenges with regard to your podcast. The most frequent response revolved around ways to increase podcast downloads. If you were to list your top three struggles with your show, would one hurdle you list be getting more listeners and engagement? When podcasters reach out to me for their free strategy session, I ask them how I might help with their podcast. Promoting the show, gaining listeners and increasing podcast downloads is most always part of the answer. You are not alone. We all want a bigger audience. Whether you have 100 listeners or 10,000 listeners, I'm sure you would like a few more. There are 6 steps to growing your audience. You can hear it in episode 209. YOU'RE AN EXPERT Next is 3 Ways To Position Yourself As An Expert – PTC227. Once when I was grabbing a quick bite to eat at the local fast food restaurant, I was reminded we are all an expert at something to someone. After ordering my food, I pulled up to the drive thru window of the fast food restaurant to pay. My total came to $4.38. I handed the kid in the window $5.38. The amount completely puzzled him. He looked at the currency for quite some time. I was beginning to think he didn't realize I needed change. After what seemed like two minutes, he looked around for his manager. When he realized his manager was helping another customer, he looked back at the money trying to devise a plan B. The kid finally stuck his head into the window and asked, "Are you good at math?" I said, "The total was $4.38, right?" He replied with, "Yeah." I said, "You owe me a dollar." "Oh, that's what I thought," he replied with relief as he ducked to the register to retrieve my dollar. At that point, I realized we are all an expert to somebody. Even people who do not normally deal in American currency could probably guess that $5.38 minus $4.38 equals $1. To this kid, I looked like a genius. You may not feel you are an expert in your niche, because you don't have the experience or success equal to others. Just realize you have more experience than the beginner. You are always a few steps ahead of someone else. If you think about where you were two years ago, you are much more experienced than a person in that position now. Help those folks make the two-year journey to get to the point where you are now. There are 3 Ways To Become An Expert In Your field. We discuss them in episode 227. LAUNCH The next episode is What Do You Need To Start A Podcast – PTC248. It seems so overwhelming. Launching a podcast looks so technical and confusing. What do you need to start a podcast? It really is much easier than it appears. You can truly have a show up and running in four weeks. When I was launching my podcast, I had been in radio for a couple decades. I knew how to create a great show. What I didn't know was how to get it on the internet, on Apple Podcasts and out to the world. I knew how to create an .mp3, but how do I make that .mp3 an actual podcast? I watched a ton of YouTube videos. It felt like the more I watched, the more confused I became. It seemed everyone had their opinions without a real "right" answer. I had almost too many options. Which were the best? In episode 248, we cover the six easy steps to follow to get your podcast up and running. Don't overthink it. Done is much better than working for perfection. ATTENTION The next most popular episode of Podcast Talent Coach is How To Capture Attention – PTC219. Have you noticed a lot of the business interview podcasts sound the same? We are hearing the same guests answer the same questions time and time again. How do you become unique in this sea of sameness? Storytelling can transform your podcast. I was on a coaching call with Arman the other day. He is a great public speaker who is launching a podcast to compliment his business. Arman has a knack for telling stories in his speeches. His past life experiences create compelling tales. We were discussing the power of stories in his show. There is a subtle difference between telling stories in a speech and telling stories in a podcast. During a speech, few people will get up and leave if you don't hold their attention. While listening to a podcast, if you are captivating, there is a good chance your listener will go find something else to enjoy. There is no guilt in turning you off. Therefore, you need to capture their attention right out of the box and hold it. Stories can be a powerful tool with your podcast. People do business with people they know, like and trust. Stories help you develop that knowledge, likability and trust. Your stories define you and will touch many more people. The stories you tell and the details you include reveal many things about you. That begins to develop that like and trust. Stories help you connect, motivate and inspire. There are four parts to the storytelling structure. We cover those in episode 219. COACHING The episode that was the most popular for the longest time is Behind The Scenes Of A Podcast Coaching Session – PTC204. Dave Jackson and I reviewed the Jeep Talk Show on the Podcast Review Show. Tony Muckleroy, one of the hosts of the show, reached out to me for a follow up review. On this episode, I take you behind the scenes of that coaching session to show you how things work. It is my hope there are a few things in this session that might help you improve your show. Tony hosts the Jeep Talk Show with his two co-hosts Josh and Tammy. They started the podcast about 8 years ago. The primary reason Tony reached out for coaching is audience growth. Their show has plateaued around 1,700 downloads a month. Tony is hoping to discover how they might increase their audience and grow the show. During our coaching session, Tony and I discuss the points Dave Jackson and I made on the Podcast Review Show, the progress the hosts have made toward those points and where they might go from here. Jeep Talk Show has some passionate followers. The team posted our coaching session as an episode of their podcast. It is Tony's hope that sharing the session with his audience might get listeners to provide the show with additional feedback. This episode features the coaching session with Tony and his show. It was episode 204. LISTEN There you go. 15 different episodes that you can check out and use to overcome some of your struggles.

“When good people make good money, they do great things!”Chris HarderWhen Jill Stanton’s husband asked her, ‘Are you playing to win? Or are you playing to not lose?’ it was a classic lightbulb moment

The introduction of your podcast is probably the most critical part of your show. A typical listener will give you between 90 seconds and a few minutes to entice them to stick around. Don't blow it. You can't catch up to a slow start. Today, we are going to break down six different podcast intros. I will show you which parts of the introduction are effective and which are not. When you create your podcast introduction, you need to put yourself in the shoes of your listener. What is in it for them? That is what they will be asking. How will they be better by the end of the episode? If you are going to use a clip from the episode at the beginning, you need to open a conversation loop. Tease the content to come by creating some intrigue. Make your listener want to stick around. If you can't do this, don't use a clip. The voiceover intro should tell your listener who you help, what you help them do and why. You do not need to structure it in those exact words. However, your intro should answer those questions. As an example, our first sample episode opens with, "Do you love your work? Do you think it's possible? You're about to find out." Do you know what this show is all about? It sounds like a show about finding a career that you love. I don't even need to tell you the name of the podcast. Edit your intro. Keep it short. Let it give your episode momentum. Don't coast and wander your way into the show. Start quickly. Capture the attention of your listener and get them excited about the content. If you would like help with your introduction, grab my Podcast Introduction template at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/intro. Ok, let's jump into the intros. First up is "48 Days to the Work You Love" with Dan Miller. 48 DAYS TO THE WORK YOU LOVE WITH DAN MILLER Host: Well, a listener says, "Hey Dan … all this talk about setting goals and getting things done sounds great but, I’m a thinker. Not a doer." (VO over music bed) Do you love your work? Do you think it’s possible? Well, you’re about to find out. It’s time for 48 Days to the Work You Love with Dan Miller on the 48 Days online radio show. Whether you need a professional tune up, or a work overhaul, this is the program for you. Now here’s your host, Dan Miller. Host: Well, what do you think? Do you need a tune up or a complete overhaul? You know, we’re still here at the beginning of the year. A great time to be looking at that. Just gonna have some little kind of subtle realignment to what you’re gonna do? Or, are you gonna really make a break and head off in a new direction? We’re hearing from lots of you who are doing both of those things. Delighted to hear the plans you’re making. You know, last week, the lead in was, "I know what to do, but can’t make myself do it." We had a whole lot of you that that apparently kind of struck a nerve, and you commented on that. I’m delighted to have you do so. We’re gonna talk some more about that. What is it that keeps us from doing? There may be some unique kind of built-in traits that we have that make us more a thinker than a doer. Well, we’ll look at that. So, questions … "I know what I need to do, but I’m easily turned back to wonder and invention." Somebody asked, "How can I make some money off the land I just inherited?" "Where do you find customers who aren’t broke?" Love that question. We’re gonna dig in. ANALYSIS First, the title of the episode doesn't get too cute. It let's you know what the podcast is all about. "48 Days To The Work You Love" sounds like a career search podcast. The name isn't too clever or too cool for the room. The tease to open the podcast is effective. It is short and to the point, while creating anticipation of what is to come. The tease gets you guessing what the quote is all about. It makes you want to stick around to close the circle. The voiceover introduction starts with the listener point of view. "Do you love your work? Do you think it's possible? Well, you're about to find out." These three sentences reinforce exactly what this podcast is all about. The intro makes it relevant to you. We don't waste a lot of time with information you don't need. Dan comes in after that with the overview of this particular episode. We know what the podcast is all about. He now tells us how this particular episode is special. What makes this one different than the others. Again, he begins in the shoes of the listener with, "Well, what do you think? Do you need a tune up or a complete overhaul?" He gets the listener invested in the content. Dan does a nice job creating social proof. He uses phrases like, "We’re hearing from lots of you", "Delighted to hear the plans you’re making", "and you commented on that", and "So, questions …" All of these statements show listeners exactly what he wants them to do. Finally, Dan gives an outline of the questions he will address on this episode. This is sort of a table of contents. Overall, this is a solid intro. BUSINESS UNUSUAL The next intro is “Business Unusual” with Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank. (Host) Hey this is Barbara Corcoran you are now tuned in to "Business Unusual". And, everything you ever learned about business, throw it out the window. I’m gonna tell you the real deal. Listen in. Today, I’m gonna answer all your burning question about work, life, starting a company, getting on track, and much much more. Be sure to call into the "Business Unusual hotline" with your question at 888-BARBARA. That’s 888- BARBARA. But first today we’re gonna be talking about moms getting back in the workforce. What do you do when you put your life on pause, or at least your career on pause, to raise a bunch of kids and you want to get back? Listen in. I’m going to give you great advice. ANALYSIS This is a solid intro. It doesn't start with your typical sample clip from the episode. Barbara gets right into it. A sample clip isn't necessary. If you plan to use a clip to tease the episode, you need to do it properly. A teaser clip should create some anticipation. It should open the loop that needs to be closed by listening to the show. Pulling a random clip doesn't accomplish either of those. Barbara tells us exactly what the podcast is all about. You know she tells it like it is. Her intro is focused on you. She says, "I’m gonna answer all your burning question about work, life, starting a company, getting on track, and much much more." She also gives you the phone number to participate. She effectively tells you what the podcast is about, so you know it is right for you. Barbara then says, "Today we’re gonna be talking about moms getting back in the workforce. What do you do when you put your life on pause, or at least your career on pause, to raise a bunch of kids and you want to get back? Listen in." She sets up the content for today to keep you around for the entire episode. This whole intro is short and sweet. I love the momentum it creates. FLIPPED LIFESTYLE Next is the "Flipped Lifestyle" podcast with Shane and Jocelyn Sams. (Host) Hey y’all! On today’s podcast we welcome back Brooke Butcher. Last time Brooke was on the show, she was just starting out and growing her online nursing community. On this episode we get to celebrate Brooke's growing membership and her incredible milestone. Brooke just quit her job and works full-time online. On today’s podcast Shane is helping Brooke get used to her new, self-employed, location independent lifestyle as well as growing her nursing membership. You’ll learn how to balance your time between business and life while working at home, promotions to help grow your membership site and how to know when it’s time to go full-time online. You are going to love today’s podcast. Enjoy the show. (Voiceover) Welcome to the "Flipped Lifestyle" podcast, where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. We are a real family who figured out how to make our entire living online. Now we help other families do the same. Are you ready to flip your life? Alright. Let’s get started. (Host) What’s going on everybody? Welcome back to the "Flipped Lifestyle" podcast. It is great to be back with you today and I am super excited because not only is this an amazing member of the Flip Your Life community on the show, it is a repeat guest. It is someone we know and love and we are going to be celebrating some major, major wins in her online business and her membership world today. Welcome back to the program Brooke Butcher. ANALYSIS This intro is solid, but could be cleaned up a bit. The opening bit delivered by Jocelyn before the voiceover says much the same thing Shane says after the intro. Jocelyn's part could have been cut in half. This portion is intended to get you to listen to the rest of the episode. We don't need a full guest introduction here. This portion would have been sufficient: "On today’s podcast Shane is helping Brooke get used to her new self-employed, location independent lifestyle as well as growing her nursing membership. You’ll learn how to balance your time between business and life while working at home, promotions to help grow your membership site and how to know when it’s time to go full-time online. You are going to love today’s podcast. Enjoy the show." After this part, Jocelyn says Brooke is self-employed, location independent and the owner of a nursing membership site. We're going to learn about time management and how to promote our site. Shane then comes on and again tells us that Brooke has a membership site. We got that in Jocelyn's portion. He says she is a repeat guest. We know that, too. Finally, he tells us we are going to celebrate some major wins in her membership. Jocelyn told us that as well. I do like the voiceover intro. We know what the show is about. It is focused on us. "Welcome to the 'Flipped Lifestyle' podcast, where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. We are a real family who figured out how to make our entire living online. Now we help other families do the same. Are you ready to flip your life? Alright. Let’s get started." With this intro, we know exactly what the show is all about and what we are getting. We know how we will be better off when the episode is over. I also like the way Shane doesn't waste much time before he jumps into the interview. Tell us what we need to know to understand this interview is applicable to my situation. SPEAK UP The next podcast is "Speak Up" with Matthew and Elysha Dicks. (Host) Welcome to "Speak Up", a podcast about telling better stories. This is episode 103. I’m Elysha Dicks. I’m the Executive Director of Speak Up. We are a Hartford-based storytelling organization. We produce shows, teach workshops, and help people find and tell better stories. And I am Matthew Dicks. I am the husband of Elysha Dicks. I am also the Artistic Director of Speak Up. I’m a storyteller myself. I’m an author of several novels. And the non-fiction title "Storyworthy: Engage, Teach and Persuade and Change Your Life Through the Power of Storytelling". A book that will help you become a better story teller. How are you doing today, honey? I am fine. Excellent. How are you? I am great. I am happy to be podcasting again with you. Yes. It’s a glorious summer day. We only have two weeks left of our summer vacation before we have to return to school, but we are trying to suck the marrow out of every minute we have. That sounds gross. No, it’s a phrase. I know it’s a phrase. That doesn’t mean it’s good. Alright. It’s poetry. You’re supposed to suck the marrow out of life. I know I’ve heard it before. This one I’m going to pass on. Alright I’m going to be sucking the marrow over here. Suck it by yourself. Do you have any follow up for us honey? Not that I can think of today, how about you? ANALYSIS "Welcome to 'Speak Up', a podcast about telling better stories." This is probably the shortest intro that tells us exactly what the show is all about. I like this a lot. No questions here. However, they follow it with "episode 103". Is that important? Not really. That doesn't have anything to do with anything. Leave it out. Elysha then gives us their pedigree. I usually suggest podcasters start in the shoes of the listener. However, this is effective in giving the audience a reason to believe what they have to say. This intro gives them credibility. We also know they teach workshops and produce shows. We know they know what they are doing. We also know we can get more of what they have to offer if we choose. The intro is followed by some chit chat. I love the way the play off each other. It gives us a sense of their style and sense of humor. However, it gives us no reason to stick around. You can't catch up to a slow start. If Elysha and Matthew took some of their story teachings, they would realize they need to start strong. Set the stage. Suck me in. Give me a reason to care. "How are you? Fine. Glad to be podcasting. Have two weeks left in summer break." I'm getting fidgety listening to this. I'm inclined to find something more compelling. They need to hook me sooner. Most people give themselves anywhere between 90 seconds and a few minutes to decide if they will stick with an episode or find something else. Make it count. INSPIRED MONEY This one is "Inspired Money" with Andy Wang. (Clip) Today on "Inspired Money" … Take this year, what a crazy year we’ve been in. So if I think that nobody’s hiring, there’s no opportunity for a small businesses, they’re all shutting down, that we’re all going to get sick and then it’s going to kill a whole lot of us, well, there’s some pieces of reality in there. If that’s what is dominant in my mind, I’m dead in the water. I’m not going to start a profitable business. I’m not going to see new opportunities. But if I think wow, this is a challenging time. With every challenge there’s the equal seeds of opportunity. If I believe that, then I look at this, ok, i didn’t expect this to happen. Yes, it closed this door. What am I going to find if I just re-direct a little bit in terms of a new opportunity? This is episode 163 with career coach and author of "48 Days To The Work You Love", Dan Miller. (Voiceover) Welcome to "Inspired Money". My name is Andy Wang. A managing partner at Runnymede Capital Management. Each week we bring you an interesting person to help you get inspired, shift your perspectives on money and achieve incredible things. From making it to giving it away, inspired money means making a difference, creating something bigger than oneself, and maybe, just maybe, making the world a better place. Thank you for joining me. (Host) Hey inspired money maker, welcome back. If this is your first time listening welcome. Are you happy in your career? Do you feel like you found your calling? So many people aren’t quite sure and experience midlife crisis. I want to open with a quote from our guest. "Success is never an accident. It typically starts with imagination, becomes a dream, stimulates a goal, grows into a plan of action, which then inevitably meets with opportunity. Don’t get stuck along the way." That’s Dan Miller. He’s author of the New York Times best-selling books "48 Days To The Work You Love", "No More Dreaded Mondays", and "Wisdom Meets Passion". He also hosts the top ranked career podcast "48 Days to the Work You Love Internet Radio Show". ANALYSIS The clip at the beginning of this episode sets up the interview. We get inspired with just a few sentences. We also end with a question, which opens the loop. The guest ends with, "What am I going to find if I just re-direct a little bit in terms of a new opportunity?" That's what the episode is all about. The voiceover part of the intro tells us what the podcast is all about. "Each week we bring you an interesting person to help you get inspired, shift your perspectives on money and achieve incredible things. From making it to giving it away, inspired money means making a difference, creating something bigger than oneself, and maybe, just maybe, making the world a better place." We know what we're going to get. When you create your intro, tell your listener how they will be better after listening to an episode. What's in it for me? This intro does exactly that. Andy then introduces Dan. He gives us just enough to find his guest credible. He has written a few New York Times bestselling books and he hosts an online radio show. I'm good with that. I'll listen. The introduction of your guest only needs to provide your listener with enough information to make them care and want to stick around for more. It doesn't matter that Dan is a career coach or that he has started multiple businesses. Just give us enough to want more. SCREW THE NINE TO FIVE The next show is "Screw The Nine To Five" with Jill and Josh Stanton. (Clip) Your mission is to pay back how much you spent on ads. I’m getting all these customers coming in. Now, I’m building a customer list. And then you have a flagship program or one-on-one coaching and it’s so much easier to upgrade an already existing customer than it is the first acquiring of them. Yeah. Right? Once you get them in the door and you rock their world they’re going to be like, "This guy is awesome. I wonder what else they have." (Voiceover) Warning. This podcast may cause you to quit your job, and start a business. What’s up? We're Jill and Josh Stanton. And we help people quit their jobs. Right now you’re joined by tens of thousands of up-and-coming entrepreneurs all around the world who are using their commute to redefine their lives and build a business online. So if you’re ready to create the financial freedom, time freedom, location freedom and personal freedom you crave so you can do what you want when you want, then turn up the volume and let’s do this thing. This is the "Screw the 9 to 5" podcast. (Host) Hey! Welcome back to another episode of the "Screw The Nine to Five" podcast. Today we are jammin' on if we were to start all over again ... no audience, no revenue, none of the things ... how would we build this business from scratch? ANALYSIS The clip at the beginning of this show does very little for me. At the end of the full opening, we know the episode is about "if we had to do it all over again, what would we do?" The intro clip is all about, "Your mission is to pay back how much you spent on ads" or "getting a customer is harder than keeping a customer." What does that have to do with anything? It doesn't open a loop or create any intrigue. Be sure to tease effectively. Now, I do love their voiceover intro. "Warning" is a great way to start. "You are joined by tens of thousands" shows social proof. They talk all about the life I want to create. This is all perfect. They are in my shoes and telling me the benefit. When Jill comes back in with "Today we're jammin' on starting over again", you get a sense of how she rolls. She jumps right into the content. The momentum is great. The intro overall is nice and short. It would be much stronger if they had just used a more effective clip at the beginning.

This week Mark is extremely excited to welcome his very good friend, Rabbi Josh Stanton, to the podcast. Rabbi Josh was ordained from Hebrew Union College in 2013 where he was recognized for his accomplishments in many areas including academics and ecumenical relations. He has served as Associate Rabbi at Congregation B’nai Jeshurun in Short Hills, New Jersey, Associate Director of the Center for Global Judaism at Hebrew College, Director of Communications for the Coexist Foundation, and is currently the very much beloved Senior Rabbi at the East End Temple in Manhattan. Rabbi Josh has worked with both Jewish and Christian communities in Europe and the Vatican, and has written on subjects as wide ranging as human condition in Buddhist and Muslim texts to modern day social justice. The passage he has selected to discuss is Exodus 18. Rabbi Josh begins the discussion by revealing just who Jethro is, and then he and Mark provide an extensive analysis of the text, incorporating the thoughts of other great scholars. They then reflect upon the significance of names throughout the Torah, and draw a number of fascinating parallels and lessons from the passage and their relevance to the present day. Rabbi Josh finishes by offering the lessons he has learned about mankind, one of which is exemplified in this very passage which ‘resonates in so many areas of [his] life’. This dynamic conversation between two highly passionate and knowledgeable seekers of the truth demonstrates the powerful role that questioning plays in education and discovery, and reaffirms the incalculable value of the Torah as a timeless guide for us all. Episode Highlights: Who is Jethro? Mark and Rabbi Stanton’s analysis of the text The existential significance of names in the Torah The elements of this passage that offer parallels and lessons regarding present day powerful leaders and their children, work of Chaplains in hospitals, ‘user experience’, and trusted advisors What Josh has learned about mankind Quotes: “It is a passage that resonates in so many areas of my life, and I would venture to say brings forth the universal figure of Jethro, which I think all of us have in our lives.” “And so this is a Torah portion about experimentation and it’s all catalyzed by that one unlikely figure, Moses’ father-in-law.” “The majesty of parable grows up from the white space in the text itself.” “Jethro almost understands the Israelites, and the incredible reality they have lived into, better than Moses does.” “No one cares what you know until they know you care…Moses knows that Jethro cares, and therefore he accepts the rebuke…he hears it and he acts on it immediately.” “We saw this in the last financial crisis, that what broke many companies was the inability of leaders to trust the people getting them information.” “People need the affirmation of role and relationship.” “Hear truth from whatever source it comes.” “Our tradition, in many ways, is all about holding both…and in this case, at times of war, we can still find allies even though we need to protect ourselves from those who are enemies.” Exodus 18 “Blessed be the LORD,” Jethro said, “who delivered you from the Egyptians and from Pharaoh, and who delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. https://www.sefaria.org/Exodus.18?lang=bi&aliyot=0 Links: The Rabbi’s Husband homepage: http://therabbishusband.com/ Mark’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/markgerson?lang=en

Was there ever a time that you did something and everyone thought you were completely crazy, but it turns out you were right?   In my conversation with Jill and Josh Stanton, they tell me about their decision to completely shut down their successful membership program in the pursuit of something that would be more fulfilling in the long run. Out of that decision came the Screw The Nine To Five movement.   We also dive deep into raising kids, finding the freedom you want, figuring things out along the way, and… ghosts.

I've been in the online course creation world for the past 2 years and one thing that I've learned is that if you ever have a chance to learn from the masters, you take it.I knew about Jill and Josh Stanton from my hero, Amy Porterfield. So when their ad for a course creator bootcamp popped up in my Facebook feed a couple months ago, I signed up on the spot.Mostly because the price was too good to be true ($37 for the bootcamp, $197 for VIP).I decided to upgrade to the VIP option as it meant that I could ask questions directly to the gurus (a perk of being a VIP).On the bootcamp I participated in, there was one pivotal training that helped me make a decision that positively impacted over 1000 women's lives.I'm so thankful to Jill and Josh for being accessible, for sharing their knowledge and for giving me exact 'how to' strategy that led to this incredible impact.Not only did they show me how to use this strategy correctly, but they gave me the confidence to use it by sharing their own experiences of what worked and what didn't.I'd like to invite you to join me (and several of our amazing TechPixies who have already signed up!) to take part in the June Course Creator Bootcamp with Jill and Josh Stanton from Screw the Nine to Five.Sign up with this link: https://www.coursecreatorsbootcamp.net/?affiliate_id=2488753

In this week’s episode, I talk all about how to boost your affiliate marketing game (and revenue) by loving up on your affiliates! So when I'm talking about "loving up" on your affiliates, this means how you can help them to best deliver and succeed as your affiliate -- promoting your program or service. Affiliates broaden your audience reach and because they’ve already established the know, like, and trust factor with their audience, your conversion rate will be higher than if you were to just target these audiences in cold ads. This is why, in my most recent Digital Course Academy launch, I went above and beyond to give my affiliates a whole lot of love and attention, and let me tell you, it definitely paid off. Today I want to share the specific ways I made my affiliates, like Jenna Kutcher, Stu McLaren, Kajabi, and Jill and Josh Stanton, feel extra special and important so that you can do the same for your upcoming launch.  In this episode, I’m going to share 5 simple and powerful strategies to love up on your affiliates so they, in turn, go above and beyond to sell your course or service.  You’re going to walk away from this episode with so many exciting ideas for your next launch! Tune in to learn these 5 strategies (plus a bonus strategy!)... The top documents to create to keep your affiliates organized and in the know.  The power of using a Facebook group to inspire and connect with your affiliates.  Assigning one person on your team (or a VA) to give your affiliates extra care and attention.  Surveying your affiliates to improve your affiliate marketing strategy for your next launch.  The importance of starting out small.  [08:38] We love to organize all of the information and details that our affiliates need to know into an easy to access Google Doc. This helps us make sure everything is in order before we even welcome affiliates. Having a doc like this also minimizes confusion and eliminates redundant questions. [10:12] A sneak peek of all the things that we include in our Affiliate FAQ document -- from commissions to payment options and everything in between. [17:17] Create a private Facebook group just for your affiliates to communicate with them before you actually open the cart, and continue communication and relationship building while the cart is open. This helps build hype and keeps affiliates in the loop. [21:55] Consider assigning one person on your team to be your affiliate concierge. Assigning someone specific to the needs of your affiliates ensures that they are prioritized, heard, and treated with extra special care. [25:10] Survey your affiliate partners post-launch to help you improve for your next launch, but also to make sure that you are creating solid relationships with your affiliates to ensure that they actually want to come back the next time. Getting post-launch affiliate feedback is crucial, so don't skip this step! [27:57] Start out small. Take baby steps and be realistic about the number of affiliates you can manage. Having a couple of affiliates that are well taken care of is more important than having a bunch who don't sell because they don't feel special. [36:53] Show gratitude and appreciation to your affiliates for their hard work -- this is essential! Don't be afraid to send them a gift or give them a call to show that you're truly grateful.

Our guests this week are Naz Georgas, Executive Director of Cordoba House, and Rabbi Josh Stanton of East End Temple in New York. These two faith leaders have forged a unique bond and faith partnership of shared values, convictions, and commitment to empathetic compassion.   Beliefs producer Jay Woodward met with them at East End Temple in Manhattan. 

I was recently in Toronto at Stu McLaren’s Tribe event and had an opportunity to record an interview with Jill Stanton of Screw the Nine to Five. Jill and Josh Stanton are two of my favorite people. Josh is hilarious, and I love talking with Jill. You know, I have so many good things to say about Facebook groups, but today is about using short pop-up groups to promote your offers.  Jill and Josh used this method to promote one of their products and to promote my Digital Course Academy. They also threw in a fun twist by making five day challenges where they give a short challenge each day along with challenge marching orders. They also offer a prize to people who make it all the way through.  These groups are a great way to warm up your audience or introduce them to a person or product that you would like to promote. Jill shares all of the tactics that she used along with some smart ideas to give the audience what they want and need without being pushy or overselling. This method can be used to create custom content and engagement for the right audience at the right time. [07:31] You can create a timeline of four weeks, but for Jill and Josh, engagement started to drop off after a couple of weeks. They tested a two week group and the results were great. This is keeping people's attention for a shorter time and making a quick win.  [10:14] Look at your offer and choose a congruent topic. Don't overwhelm people with the how-tos. Your offer is the how. You need to help them see the what and the why. Empower them to take action.  [15:21] The what and why for Jill and Josh's Digital Course Academy pop-up promotion was Think Like an Expert - From Impostor Syndrome to Expert Status. They identified five core beliefs that were holding their audience back.  [19:09] They ran a challenge on their last pop-up. They ran ads and spent about $42,000 and generated $293,000. They spent $10,000 to get 1200 super targeted people in the group. The one prior to that, they spent $4500 and made $43,000.  [22:48] The challenges are short five minute videos that give a challenge and marching orders. The entire challenge has a prize incentive. Every day at 1:00 they would do a Facebook Live about the challenge of the day. No CTA but they are seeding the topic.  [29:54] Pay attention to the objections you get when you make offers. You want to help the audience overcome their limiting beliefs.  [31:04] Create content around the topic of your pop-up group and have your readers or listeners opt in. You're building your list and creating anticipation around an offer. People can opt in through messenger or email. [35:29] Moving people from the challenge to the offer includes seeding throughout the content. You can move into a webinar, a free video series, a Facebook Live, and the cart opens on day five. When the offer closes, the group is archived. People who did join the program still get your support.  Subscribe & Review in iTunes Are you subscribed to my podcast?

Episode 39 – 3 Shifts to Up-level your SuccessThis week Lianne sits down with Online Entrepreneur extraordinaire Jill Stanton of Screw the Nine to Five. Jill shares her from her first online business to the birth of her well-known online community Screw the Nine to Five, which she has run with her hubby Josh Stanton for many years.  She talks about how she became a mother at the height of her business success and how that forced them to take the space to reassess their priorities and get clear on what they really wanted to create. Jill talks about the fears that come up for us business owners and having the courage to ask ourselves what we actually want and trust in our own instincts, even when it's scary. Sometimes it takes giving up good to realize greatness.  She shares her definition of Affiliate Marketing which is their current business model and talks about her recent up-level since challenging their own beliefs and seeking for more alignment.  She believe there are 3 fundamental shifts we can all start to make that will enable us to reach new levels of success in our business: Dealing with the judgement of others“What will people think of me if… “Many of us have a real fear around this, but allowing others to have this control over you (whether they realize it or not) will dim who you are. Confidence, caring, and self-approval will unleash your possibilities. Wanting an outcome vs. Committing to an outcome.The business is really overwhelming and often emotional, then we stop showing up, and we lose momentum. The trick is to want to have a business to being committed and having the business of your dreams. Wanting = not having.

​In today’s interview episode of the eCommerce Lifestyle podcast, Anton talks with Josh Stanton, one-half of the co-founding team behind Screw the Nine to Five. Anton first met Josh in 2013 when they were working at the same co-working spot in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Since then, the two have kept in touch while both growing ​ successful ​businesses that share the same mission: helping others find freedom ​through ​lifestyle design.

Jill Stanton is the co-creator of Screw the Nine to Five with her husband, Josh Stanton. Jill and her husband are obsessive world travellers (with their little guy, Kai), say-it-like-it-is podcast hosts, lovers of quality of red wine and hell-bent on helping transform unsatisfied employees into dangerously-successful entrepreneurs!   In today’s conversation, we discuss how Jill has grown her blog to multiple six figures by selling affiliate products. We also dive into what makes a successful affiliate marketing program, how to niche down effectively and what is working and what’s not working in the digital marketing space right now.   My big takeaway from this episode is that affiliate income can be simple, easy and fun to earn, and it’s particularly suited for those people who want to focus on content creation and teaching first. If you’re already creating content and teaching and sharing great information, then you should also be leveraging affiliate or affiliate products. Because if you’re not, then you’re leaving money on the table.    Take some notes and consider how you might be able to implement or integrate affiliate marketing into what you’re already doing.   In this broadcast, Jill and I talk about:   How did Jill and her husband begin their blog Why should you stick to what you know first when blogging What were some of the obstacles Jill and her husband faced while establishing their platform How important are free Facebook Groups to grow your audience What is the importance of receiving feedback from your audience What are the benefits of niching down versus creating a broad platform How and why did Jill and her husband shut down their membership site What are the best strategies for those entering the affiliate marketing space Why you are leaving money on the table if you are not incorporating affiliate marketing in your business Why attention and trust are critical for those pursuing affiliate marketing How to niche down and offer services to the right audience Where does Jill view the future of Screw the Nine to Five going   How to Connect with Jill:   screwtheninetofive.com/the-screw-show/ screwtheninetofive.com   Get the Latest Broadcasts of In The Trenches on Your Favorite Podcast Platform:     Subscribe to In The Trenches on iTunes   Listen to In The Trenches on Spotify   Get your weekly dose of In The Trenches on Google Play     How You Can Support In The Trenches   Did you enjoy today's broadcast of In The Trenches?

I am so excited to introduce you to one half of the Screw The Nine To Five duo of awesomeness.  Jill (and Josh) Stanton have recently transitioned their business model from offering courses and memberships to solely affiliate marketing and the insight she shares with us in today's episode is just the real talk you'll want to hear if you're sick of playing small and ready to fall into alignment with who you are, who you want to be and what feels right to get you there.  Sometimes, NO...I take that back… Most times, the path to success we envision is not what actually gets us there.

Wondering how to create a business that is aligned with your values?

What does it take to build a thriving brand online? How do you create a following and leverage your influence to achieve your goals? What happens when you feel the need to make a shift and end up walking away from the very thing that brought you all that success? On this episode of The Amazing Seller, you’ll hear from Scott as he welcomes his guest, Jill Stanton.  Jill and Josh Stanton are the co-founders of Screw The Nine To Five. They are serial online entrepreneurs and world travellers. In her conversation with Scott, Jill opens up about their journey, why they decided to move from affiliate marketing to building a personal brand, the value of getting clarity in business, what it takes to connect with a large following, and much more. You don’t want to miss a minute of this engaging episode featuring Josh and Jill's story! Hard work pays off. Jill and Josh started their journey in 2011 working jobs they saw no future in and decided that they needed to make a change. They leapt and started putting together an ecommerce business focused on skin care. While it took a lot of hard work and sleepless nights, their hard work paid off, and they were able to secure their first month with $1,000 in profit. They ended up selling that business for $50,000 and went on to start several other businesses in 2012. The big takeaway from Jill and Josh’s initial success is that they were sick of their current circumstances and decided to do something about it. In short, they took action! They weren’t experts in skin care; they were just willing to go out there, put in the work, and trust that profit would follow and it did! Don’t become a slave to your business! Success and growth are a what every business leader is after, right? But what happens when all of the success becomes a weight that drags you down? From Jill and Josh, the complexity and daily demand of their business began to take a toll and caused them to rethink their approach. The last thing you want in business is to find yourself shackled to something that doesn’t fulfil you. It might sound crazy, but their story could be your story! What will you do when that moment comes and feel like you’ve become a slave to your business? Will you stay committed and miserable or will you make the changes necessary? To hear how Jill and Josh pivoted and took their efforts in a new direction, make sure to listen to this episode of The Amazing Seller! What do you really want? At the end of the day, one of the best things you can do for your business is to identify your “why.” If you’ve been around the TAS community for very long, you know that Scott is passionate about helping sellers like you figure out this important aspect of entrepreneurship. Do you know your “why?” When was the last time you reevaluated it? For some people that “why” will be a constant but for others, it will need to change as their business grows. Learn from Josh and Jill’s story and how asking the question “What do I really want?” helped them get to the core of their “why” by listening to this episode of The Amazing Seller.

Josh Stanton Josh Stanton is the Co-Founder of Screw The Nine To Five, a movement that is designed to empower entrepreneurs through actionable insights and tips. In their journey together, he helps them to create passive streams of income online. “If your idea is based on what you think people would want because you're kind… The post Josh Stanton Building an Audience of Believers | Ep. 230 appeared first on Bottleneck Distant Assistants.

Jill Stanton, Co-Founder with her husband Josh Stanton of Screw the Nine to Five and Bridget Gleason, VP of Sales for Logz.io and my regular partner, join me on this episode.

Josh is the creator of Screw The Nine to Five. Together with his wife Jill, he teaches aspiring entrepreneurs how to reject conventional wisdom and the career trajectory society wants them to follow, and instead go do something different with their lives.The couple shares the journey of starting an online business and being location independent and shows others how it’s done.Their values include reaching balance in your life, business, and health. In today’s interview, you’ll learn how Josh started, came up with his first business idea, and went onto creating bigger things that provide value to the right people.What We Discuss With Josh:- The one conversation that made him drop out of university;- Getting started with online business;- Why your first business idea might not be what you expect;- How Josh and Jill came up with the idea for Screw The Nine to Five;- Turning your site into a business;- Setting limits to how much you work;- How to improve your life, business, and health at the same time;- What to do every morning to set yourself up for success;- How to run a successful business with your partner.  

On today’s episode we are joined by Josh Stanton, co-founder of Screw the Nine to Five, where Josh helps people leave their nine-to-five jobs to start their own businesses. Screw the Nine to Five started as a blog about being a lifestyle entrepreneur that gradually grew into a brand and business on its own. Screw the Nine to Five now helps people who want to run their own businesses to leave their desk jobs to chase the entrepreneurial dream.

As Daniel Carbonel makes the eighth episode of his Wake Up to Freedom Podcast, he continuously brings in elite internet marketers who are experts in creating a financial freedom business. Guesting on the show today is the owner of the Screw The Nine To Five movement, Josh Stanton and like all the previous guests who appeared on Daniel’s podcast, Josh, will also tell his inspiring story. Husband and wife Josh and Jill Stanton actually co-developed the Screw The Nine To Five movement and their goal is to help people transcend from their regular 9 – 5 jobs and be successful at creating their freedom business on the internet. This revolutionary idea will help more people to take risks in being an entrepreneur and actually be successful in it. And Josh’s secret formula is not what you think that will make you successful. Find out more to know this secret formula! Josh and Jill The fateful meeting between Josh and his wife, Jill, has given us the amazing opportunity to discover the powerful movement that they’ve created which is the Screw The Nine To Five movement. But it took some time and effort before they got to where they are right now. They’ve also tried numerous business models that were good, except it wasn’t aligned with their real passion in life, which was to help people start a financial freedom business. Today the couple are traveling around the world in places like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South East Asia, China, and Mexico. They’re currently making at least $500,000 a year just by focusing on one business – the Screw The Nine To Five.com – and helping people achieve their business goals and become successful entrepreneurs. Life Before the Screw The Nine To Five.com Before they became an established business with the Screw The Nine To Five.com, Josh and Jill Stanton were in the business of creating and selling websites that they’ve built with good marketing strategy. Their first one was a skin care website which helped them made their first $1,000. Then after 10 months of going at it, they were finally able to hit their goal of $6,000 a month. Having gained the experience of successfully building small brands plus their prior work experience in other web-based businesses individually, they were ripe to build their most successful brand of all – the Screw The Nine To Five.com, which is essentially their version of a financial freedom business. Josh’s Focus when it comes to a Financial Freedom Business When his father died Josh had an awakening and he promised himself that he will only do the things that he wants to do and not those things that he is forced into doing. That idea became the sole focus of his life and business. And then it dawned on him that the reason why some people fail as an entrepreneur is because they still retain the mindset of an employee and not have the mindset of an entrepreneur. The end result is that they were not able to build a freedom business, instead, they roll back to the traditional way of doing business which will no longer work in the modern times. So, the key to Josh’s Screw The Nine To Five idea is to first change the mindset of a person and make him/her think like an entrepreneur instead of an employee, then he teaches them how to do the internet business which is actually a financial freedom business. The Real Reason why Entrepreneurs Fail According to Josh the biggest obstacle that the entrepreneurs have difficulty overcoming is the very thing that they create – the “have to” mentality. They essentially become limitations that these entrepreneurs set for and against themselves where they’ll think like, “I have to make money,” “I have to do this,” “I have to work X number of hours in order to be successful” etc. when any business even a freedom business should have zero limitations by nature. Josh suggests that people who want to approach him and get coaching from his Screw The Nine To Five initiative should first consider this,

I made a pretty big decision this weekend to end my podcasting journey, without any fanfare or second guessing.It dawned on me that I have been podcasting for 7 years. Seven freaking years of putting out episodes!What started out as monthly back on May 16, 2011, turned into twice a month around 2012 and at at the end of 2013 became weekly.By 2015 I'd decided to up my game and go twice weekly, with one interview one 'Fresh in Fifteen' 15 minute show with my own tips.In august 2016 I hit 1 Million Downloads which was a pretty awesome achievement for me and a show of wonderful support from listeners and the Suitcase Entrepreneur community.As I wrote in that article:I started my podcast in 2011 on May 16th. I actually had to look that date up as I couldn’t remember!My first guest was the lovely Colleen Wainwright from Communicatrix and the interview (from my side at least) was pretty mediocre. You can check it out here.Episode 4, I convinced Laura Roeder to talk about The Art of Not Doing Everything Yourself.From there, I was off and running.At it's peak 40,000 ‘Freedomists’ tuned in from all over the world, every month. To date it has over 1.8 million downloads which blows my mind.I know many of my peers have podcasts that do that in a few months, but I'm proud of that result plus 200+ five-star reviews.In late 2013 the podcast was nominated and made a Top 10 Finalist in the Business Category at the Podcast Awards and it consistently ranked in the Top 100 category for Business in iTunes.Weekly interviews with successful entrepreneurs and digital nomads included Michael Hyatt, Amy Portereld, Pam Slim, Chris Guillebeau, Pat Flynn, Jaime Masters, Chris Ducker, Jill and Josh Stanton, Josh Turner, Nisha Moodley, Mark Manson, Nick Loper and Denise Duffield-Thomas to name but a few.Podcasting BenefitsA few other valid points I made in that article:I love podcasting – I enjoy it and it works for my natural talents – I like to talk a lot and I like to interview all types of people, treat it like a casual conversation, and bring out the best in them so they can share their stories far and wideIt’s a fantastic community building tool – I love my Freedomists who listen in every week and then meet me in person to tell me how much they enjoy the show – and that I sound exactly like I do on my podcast. Their engagement and feedback makes my day.It’s a fantastic business marketing tool – I’ve indirectly traced more revenue thanks to listeners telling me that they signed up to a program or a retreat or a mastermind because of hearing me talk about it on my podcast. I’ve also increased my list thanks to people who opted in to get my podcast bonus guides.It’s an excellent way to engage with and partner with sponsors – I’ve been fortunate to have a host of amazing sponsors over the years like 99Designs, Hostgator, Upwork, Skross and more. Some I approached, others approached me and it’s been a brilliant source of revenue to not only fund the costs of running a podcast but as a revenue stream all in itself.Podcasting RealitiesYou have to go all in, or not at all.Sure you can start out like I did, with my laptop, Skype and no fancy microphone and do just fine, but if you want to be top of class you need to up your game as you grow.I'm talking great equipment - I use the Zoom H6 Handy Recorder and an external Schuh Microphone.I outsourced editing within the first month knowing this wasn't where I wanted to spend my time. And it was a brilliant investment.Over time as I've learned more and done more with my podcast, it's meant hiring more people to help with show notes, content upgrades, formatting, images and hosting.Our SOP (standard operating procedure) for editing and producing a podcast - which is also a full Asana template for our team now, is impressive and something I'm so proud we've built.But it sure does take time, effort and money.I asked Rolly, who's been my amazing podcast editor since January 2014, to total his hours worked on my podcast and it's approximately 1,200 hours to date!Batching recording my podcasts in advance has helped a great deal too, meaning you can take time off, go on holiday or simply not worry about scrambling last minute to get an episode out...which has happened a lot to be fair!Sponsors were a big part of helping out with covering the considerable costs of running a podcast, which I think a lot of people starting out underestimate.To date I've earned over US$100,000 in sponsorships.That is amazing in itself, as are the relationships you forge with the sponsors.Podcast Guests Really Make a Great ShowI've been privileged to interview some amazing guests when it was the Suitcase Entrepreneur and these have made a huge difference to the quality of my shows, my reach and also credibility.While I never assumed those I interviewed would share my show (although many did), just being able to put their name as a guest on your show gave you instant kudos.I also loved interviewing those folks who were up and coming or just doing really cool stuff but were not 'big names' or influencers, because frankly they were in the thick of it all and told it as it really was.Their stories resonated even more with my listeners, because they could relate.Here are the TOP ranked Suitcase Entrepreneur Podcasts:[TSE 55] Master the Art of Being a Professional Speaker and Author with Hugh Culver[TSE 92] How to Balance Multiple Projects and Build Your Email List with Nathalie Lussier[TSE 91] How to Profit from Your Passion and Publish Multiple Books with Farnoosh Brock[TSE 98] Sell Yourself without Selling Out; How to Get More Clients with Matthew Kimberley[TSE 40] Own Less and Live More by Becoming a Minimalist with Joshua Becker[TSE 44] How Pat Flynn Makes $50K a Month from Blogging, Niche Sites and Being Nice[TSE 39] Brand Building Using Your Sassy Personality And F-Bombs With Ashley Ambirge[TSE 96] How to Be Social Media Savvy with Scott Stratten[TSE 99] How to Raise Your Family, Live Your Dream and See the World with Greg DenningI finished my Suitcase Entrepreneur interview series on Episode 300 and that felt awesome.Switching to a New Podcast FormatIn January 2017 I switched over to a narrative style format and rebranded to Quest for Freedom when I also switched over to posting more on this new website and moving away from The Suitcase Entrepreneur.I'd fallen in love with this format after listening to Startup by Gimlet Media and loving the storytelling and seasonal aspect of their podcasts.Of course they had built an entire company to produce quality podcasts and had a whole team of editors, journalists and writers behind them but I figured I could do my own version and I was a bit 'over' the interview format that so many people do.In April 2016 I went on my sabbatical and took a three month break from all content creation and my business. This didn't affect things too much but I did quite like the break from having to come up with themes for the season and all the research.Turns out narrative podcasts by yourself are much more work than interviewing fab people!I navigated away from seasonal podcasts to more topical themes so mindset, meditation, productivity etc.This helped me get my head around what to focus on, otherwise I could talk on all sorts of topics!Eps 36 How to master your timeEps 37 Starting an Ecommerce Site From ScratchEps 38 A powerful morning routineEps 39 Why money alone won't bring you happinessEps 42 The Art of Decluttering Your MindLosing My Podcast MojoPost my sabbatical was, incidentally, also around the time I realized my enthusiasm and desire to produce high quality content for free (but at my investment) week in and week out was waning.And so it leads me to this moment in time, when I can quite happily walk away from seven years of committing to this amazing medium that has brought me so much joy, happiness and personal growth.It's also brought me new friends, connections and insights with incredible entrepreneurs and taught me a level of work ethic and discipline like batching and organizing well ahead of time, that's permeated every aspect of my business.It's been profitable and pleasurable.For now though, I'm looking forward to listening to other people's podcasts and appreciating just what goes into theirs.At some point in the future I have ideas for new and more targeted shows, but for now I'm hanging up my podcast boots with gratitude to all my listeners and supporters who made me want to turn up for 7 years and hit publish.The great news is you can forever listen to the 48 Episodes of Quest for Freedom right here, the first 300 Episodes on the Suitcase Entrepreneur here.

You’ve heard of multiple streams of income, right? Well you can do the same thing for customer acquisition. Multiple streams of customers. And each stream will bring you different customers that none of the other streams would have brought you. So this tactic is rock solid. And it MIGHT be exactly what you need to transform a “meh” business... in to a “kick ass” business. That and many more tips were shared by my guest on this week’s Off The Chain show. Click here to check it out... All the best, Doberman Dan P.S. if you’ve always believed that money comes from hard work, prepare to be shocked. My guest this week came to a profound conclusion about that. And it’s the exact OPPOSITE of what most people have been led to believe about where money comes from. It might be a hard pill for you to swallow... but you need to hear it. Click here now for the latest Off The Chain show.  

I got mad R-E-S-P-E-C-T for my guest this week on Off The Chain. He’s a true bootstrap entrepreneur. Ad he’s one of the few guys with the balls to do what I’ve recommended to thousands of wannapreneurs... yet have only seen a handful actually do it. He tells the story about how he turned his back on a “sure thang” career as an engineer to chase the entrepreneurial dream. And how he financed his first online business. A business that sold a book on how to take care of your goldfish. These are the stories I love. People who create a business with almost ZERO money and resources. And now he and his wife work together in their business and are living the life of their dreams. Click here to check out the story on this week’s episode of Off The Chain. All the best, Doberman Dan

Let’s say you’ve already heard about the benefits of Facebook groups from other business owners and now you want to try your hand at using it to promote your brand, products, and services as well. Once you decide why and how you’ll use the group, it’s a good idea to set up some rules and parameters for potential members to adhere to. You can even require they answer a series of questions before you determine if they’re a good fit for the group. Proper vetting is important because the success and growth of your Facebook group really depends on consistent engagement in the group. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/241

If you had to define it, could you clearly say what it means for a company to be a “lifestyle brand?” When Josh Stanton first started on his entrepreneurial journey he didn’t know either. In fact, it was the furthest thing from his mind. He just needed to make some money.   His story goes something like this: After a very short stint studying engineering at university, he was exhausted and not enjoying what he was doing, and his Dad recognized the problem. He told Josh, “You don’t have to do this. You can do whatever you want.”   Josh says that was the conversation that enabled him to understand that it was OK for him to take control of his own life and not follow the path everyone else does. So he did.   Today, most people know Josh as one half of the dynamic team behind Screw The Nine To Five, the company and community aimed at becoming the #1 lifestyle brand in the world. In this conversation you’ll hear the backstory of how Josh and his wife have gone from owning random online businesses that felt a lot like corporate jobs, to leaders of an energizing community that empowers those seeking lifestyle freedom.   If Josh can make money selling a goldfish book, you can be an entrepreneur too   The first thing Josh Stanton did to move into the realm of online business was to hire someone to research and ghostwrite a book about the care and feeding of goldfish. Sounds like a strange topic, but he had his reasons. The book was written, Josh got it formatted, put it on Amazon, and began selling it - to the tune of $15,000 in total sales.   It may not sound like much of a business… but most people never step out to create anything of their own. $15K earned from a simple book, in his first attempt, was all it took for Josh to see that he really could support himself independent of someone else writing him a paycheck.   Your first effort as an entrepreneur doesn’t have to be world-changing. In fact, it’s probably better if it’s not. The lessons you learn in those initial forays into the online business world  are what teach you the things you need to know in order to make a difference over the long haul. Josh describes his own meandering path to success in detail in this conversation.   Why Josh Stanton sold money-making businesses to pursue something greater   As Josh and Jill become more successful as entrepreneurs, they had their hands in many different types of online businesses. There were many affiliate relationships, skin care brands, health care products that filled their bank account each month. The Screw The Nine To Five Community was also starting to take off.   But it wasn’t as satisfying as Josh had assumed it would be. All those unrelated, random businesses started to feel like drudgery, something he didn’t really want to work on anymore. Sounds kind of like a corporate job, doesn’t it?   After discussing what they really wanted to contribute to the world, Josh and Jill decided to sell those businesses and put all their focus into Screw The Nine To Five. That decision proves to have been exactly the right choice for them. They have plans to make it the #1 Lifestyle Brand in the world. Their focus now is on helping others achieve success in three specific areas: business, health, and life.   How does one go about building a world-changing lifestyle brand? Josh reveals the ups and the downs of the Screw The Nine To Five journey, in this episode of Corporate Escapees. Do you know how to make the decision about who your ideal customer is?   When Josh and Jill first began Screw The Nine To Five they were focused on helping people start businesses and develop ways of producing side income. All of that is fine, but they discovered that many people were following along without committing to make their own lifestyle dreams happen.   That’s when they decided to narrow their focus by identifying their ideal customers. Rather than targeting anyone who was interested in learning about generating online income they decided to find those who are truly ready to start their own business. That subtle shift has enabled them to scale their business faster than ever before.   In this conversation Josh describes how they’ve learned to identify that target audience, how strategic partnerships enable them to help their audience with less effort, and why Facebook Ads have turned out to be unreliable in terms of long-term business success. Those are powerful lessons-learned you can benefit from, so be sure you hear them on this episode.   Members of the Screw The Nine To Five Community are given the opportunity to give back   The Screw The Nine To Five community is a dynamic place where those who are building their own businesses come together for support, resources, and training. It’s the main way Josh and Jill empower others to create the same kind of lifestyle they have.   But they want more for their members than business success. They also want to help them give back through their success. That’s why they are working to establish relationships with 3 non-profits. Every monthly member will soon be able to select one of those charities as the recipient of a percentage of their membership fee each month.   As you can see, Josh and Jill are eager for their lifestyle brand to do more than equip people to make money, they want to nurture a mindset that truly gives back in significant ways.   This is a great conversation that reveals many of the strategies Josh and Jill have used to establish their business and empower others to create the lifestyle they want.

Let’s rewind for a sec. Back in episode #146, I dished on Facebook groups. This is one of the bold moves I want you to consider making in 2017, because if you take the time to do it thoughtfully, it could be a tremendous game-changer for your business. No one knows that more than Jill and Josh Stanton. In just two years the Facebook group they built for their ‘Screw the Nine to Five’ business has skyrocketed from less than 7,000 members to nearly 40,000. You’re going to hear us talking about a lot of wicked smart strategies they are using to maximize the impact of the group on their business—list-building, selling, cross-promoting, sexy funnels and more. BUT, pay attention to me here because I don’t want you getting overwhelmed. Keep your eyes on the prize as you listen to the podcast (and lose your mind over all the cool things that Jill shares). The point of a Facebook group is engagement. The more you do that, by asking questions, listening and showing up in general, the more you’re going to know about what your audience wants and needs. That’s the magic fairy dust your group will sprinkle so you really can see, hear and feel your audience, as well as show them mad love by delivering content that will make a difference in their lives. Some of the topics explored include: Cracking the code on how to find out what your group members truly WANT. (Hint: Polls are everything.) Using the group to build your email list and cross-promote your other programs. (For example, the Stantons market their membership site inside the group, which serves as an entry point for their sales funnels.) Striking a harmonious balance between free content shared in the group with paid content in a membership site or whatever you’re selling. Keeping content organized inside of the group. Managing the group, especially the bigger it gets. The kind of support needed, as well as how often you need to get involved. The role Facebook Live can play in the group. (You’ll love the unique way Jill and Josh are using it OUTSIDE of their group too!) This episode is LOADED. Listen up. Oh, and one more very exciting thing. I did my first ever ‘after show’ with Jill and Josh. There was just so much to cover. Download it here and listen to more of our chat on their Facebook group do’s and don’ts, why the group should be about YOU and the value of connecting your members.

Show Notes Jill and Josh Stanton are a couple of crazy entrepreneurs who I have had the pleasure of meeting. They are the founding couple behind Screw the Nine to Five - a movement that is truly life-changing! They've inspired me and hundreds of others to say "Screw the Nine to Five" and leave their "soul-sucking" day-jobs. These two have leveraged Facebook groups and have built a loyal following that call themselves Screwpies (or Scroupies). Golden Nuggets - How Jill (and Josh - but really, Jill) grew the Facebook group from the ground up. - STNTF's massive goals for 2017 - e'rything is changing! - The original vision behind Screw the Nine to Five - and how it has evolved into a bigger mission.

Sometimes your dreams feel HUGE and so overwhelming  you just freeze and wonder "How can I do this?"  It's hard to move forward when we freeze like this.  It brings out our fears.  So try breaking it down into baby steps to get out of that fear - anything to move you forward.  I'll give you some examples, and then help bridge you into taking bigger steps so you don't get stuck playing too small.

I am delighted to share a conversation with Jill Stanton today. Jill and her husband Josh are exceptionally authentic throughout the branding on their businesses ScrewU and Screw The Nine To Five, and she really brings that authenticity to this conversation. Jill and Josh Stanton started their first online business in 2012. They wanted to start a movement, but they didn't have a lot of direction. They have done everything – blogs, podcasts, a Facebook group, videos, online courses – but they found it was important to trim the fat. It isn't necessary for Jill and Josh to do all the things. They learned to focus on what they love doing, and go all in. “We've been on this three year journey of figuring out what we do like, and cutting what we don't, and creating a business that not only serves, but feels good to us.” If you are interested in screwing the nine-to-five lifestyle, but you don't know where to start, Jill has some tips. Start by doing a brain dump: figure out what you're good at, what you're skilled at, and what you enjoy doing. Identify the things that you are most drawn to and research them. Develop related skills, and try to identify a problem that you can solve. “When you are first starting out, you don't know what you don't know.” If you are having trouble coming up with something, ask your friends and pay attention to the things that people ask for your advice on. This might shine a light on the skills and knowledge you have that other people don't. One thing that Jill and Josh have learned about entrepreneurs is that many of the people building their business in the personal brand space go through a particular progression, and they created a model called Momentum Marketing. The model has five steps: The Grind – Coming up with an idea, validating the idea, doing research, putting a plan in place, building a website, setting up social media, and creating any other assets that need to be prepared. The Hustle – Build visibility by creating consistent content each week, emailing your list regularly, joining communities, developing an offer, and forming relationships. It's hard work, but you can't skip it. The Engine – Creating sales funnels, running webinars, and other things that create consistent, sustainable monthly income. The Traffic – After you're making a certain amount of revenue, start playing around with paid ads, hiring a team, and focusing on big picture growth. The Profit – You're supervising launches, taking yourself out of the day-to-day aspects of your business, and focusing on the managerial aspects. Jill and Josh are currently overhauling their ScrewU course program to reflect the five stages of Momentum Marketing. The goal is to cut down on things that are overwhelming and give entrepreneurs only the things they need to focus on at each stage. A huge aspect of Screw the Nine to Five is its community, which Jill and Josh put a lot of time into building. A lot of entrepreneurs want to create an active community, particularly on Facebook, but it's not for everyone. Entrepreneurs first need to consider if their business needs an online community. Then they need to put in the work. “If you're not willing to show up every day, and really put that time and effort in to building that up, then I don't even think you should start a community. In fact, I think if you're not 100% devoted to giving those people your time, especially in the beginning, then you could have even more success showing up in other people's communities.” If you show up in a big way, and give more than you get, then you will provide value to the community and people will come to you. Jill manages and automates the posts she makes on social media with Meet Edgar. If you do have a strong community, then you might be interested in hosting a retreat or live event in the future. Jill believes that, if you're going to do a live event, you have to be very clear on the purpose of it. “When we had a clear purpose, everything flowed much easier.” Jill urges that you enlist some help, but she also warns that it's still probably going to exhaust you. Jill was a lot of fun to talk to. I'm really excited that she shared her tested strategies for starting an online business, building communities and digital marketing with the Bold Life Movement audience.   SOME QUESTIONS I ASK: If someone is interested in “screwing the nine-to-five” lifestyle, what are first steps that they can take? Inside the Screw community, what are some things that people can expect? What advice would Jill like to give people who want to start a community on Facebook? What are awesome tools that are integral to Screw The Nine To Five? If an entrepreneur is interesting in hosting a retreat or live event, does Jill have any lessons she has learned? Are there steps that Jill and Josh took to get so good at marketing their business?

Today we learn how Jill and Josh went from a cycle of online launches to a predictable business that generates revenue every month - all online. The launch model can be really appealing. Lot's of potential cash and a rush of adrenaline, but followed by a lack of income and consistency after each launch. You will hear how they tested the subscription model with one of their smaller products - saw an immediate drop in their income yet through mistakes and learning they realized that as the memberships began to increase they are able to predict their income for the next month. It only takes a few months to figure out your retention and value of your lifetime customer when using the membership model. If you are delivering value to your membership they'll stick around, if not they'll leave. [Tweet "Memberships create predictable, steady, growing income. Launches do not."] You will learn Why a Launch Model was too complicated for them. Difficult to know your launch model numbers Quick fire products consume a lot of time Find the business model that works for you How to switch from the launch model to the continuity model Income will drastically decrease immediately Membership Sites - a slow process Make more for the lifetime of the customer rather than a one-time buy Customer has more benefits Links and resources mentioned in today's show Screw the nine to five.com BB Press Forum Profit First Book Flip Your Nine to Five Live Enjoy the podcast; we hope it inspires you to explore what's possible for your family!

Jill and Josh are a couple of wanderlustin’ lifestyle entrepreneurs who are hell-bent on helping others replace their income, escape their 9-to-5 jobs, and build a business around the lifestyle of their dreams inside their premium training community, Screw U.

In this episode I chat about my experience on a recent workcation where I had the opportunity to mastermind with 3 amazing entrepreneurs: John Lee Dumas, and Jill and Josh Stanton of Screw The Nine to Five. During our mastermind session, we did hot seat rotations, which really led me to discovering something powerful: a focus.

Jill and Josh are a couple of wanderlustin' lifestyle entrepreneurs who are hell-bent on helping others replace their income, escape their 9-to-5 jobs, and build a business around the lifestyle of their dreams inside their premium training community, Screw U.

Jill and Josh Stanton are the digitally nomadic couple behind Screw the Nine to Five, where they are helping you devise an escape plan to move closer to new possibility and adventure in your daily life. These two quit their 9-5s for a life that made travel a bigger priority, and moved to an island in Thailand for a couple months to design a new lifestyle that would help them create work that would support a life they wanted, rather than hold dearly on to a job that dictates their routine at the expense of their personal fulfillment. Since then, they’ve lived and worked in Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, the Phillippines, China, Australia, New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Portugal, Chicago and San Diego. Truly a life of travel. I wanted to get Josh and Jill on the show to ask them about what inside of them inspired the decision to actually move to Thailand, something that seems so extreme and outlandish to most people, and what they do to keep themselves afloat on the road, and how you might be able to aspire to do the same.

Josh Stanton from Australia along with his wife Jill teamed together to create a heap portfolio of both Authority sites as well as Niche sites both monetized through Affiliate Marketing.  In this episode we discuss the roles of the husband and wife duel in the business, the benefits of running a business where it's summer time and what he would do if he had to start over and build businesses from scratch all over again.  He's also the boss of Sabrina Taylor who was interviewed in episode 04.
