Podcast appearances and mentions of karl bryan

Key Topics Covered   Life Lessons from Officiating a Wedding Karl opens up about his experience presiding over his niece's wedding. He shares heartfelt advice on partnership, the value of keeping your inner child alive, embracing life's ups and downs, and why “together forever” is a powerful North Star for couples and business partners alike. The importance of mindset—advancing, not retreating, in marriage and business—is highlighted, along with practical methods for maintaining positivity (like using standup comedy as a daily mood boost).   Licensing vs. Franchising—Profit Powerhouses Explained Karl breaks down the pivotal difference between licensing and franchising, offering memorable real-world examples:   Licensing: Earning royalties from intellectual property (like Disney does by licensing characters for merchandise) with little risk or hard cost.   Franchising: Replicating a full business model with training and brand support (think McDonald's, Subway). He spotlights the Blue Man Group's scalable licensing as a model for exponential growth and contrasts it with Siegfried & Roy's limited, high-earning but labor-dependent Vegas act. Karl also details what makes a business franchisable—and why some aren't.   Warren Buffett's Rules and Strategies for Success Karl distills Warren Buffett's timeless investment wisdom for coaches and entrepreneurs:   Understand and stick to the rules (profit, repeat business).   Seek high-margin, habit-forming opportunities (buy for a penny, sell for a dollar).   “Rule #1: Don't lose money. Rule #2: See rule #1.”   Build a personal brand and keep clients just like getting clients.   Practice extreme clarity: know what to say “yes” and “no” to.   Harness the power of compounding, but don't wait ten years—use marginal utility theory for rapid incremental growth.   Clarity, Focus, and Avoiding Distractions Karl ties elite execution to laser clarity—most entrepreneurs fail because of distraction or lack of clear direction. Eliminating distractions (social media, busy work) is as vital as mastering strategy. He advocates for serving first, delivering value before a sale, and focusing on the biggest problems you can solve.   Coaching Operating Systems and Retention Practical advice centers on using a proven coaching operating system (like Karl's Jumpstart 12 or Profit Acceleration Software) to guarantee client wins, profit acceleration, and long-term engagement.   Ready to elevate your coaching business?

Karl Bryan welcomes AI strategist Caroline Hinton for a deep dive into the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in the world of business coaching. Together, they break down how coaches are leveraging AI for efficiency, measurable ROI, client relationships, and industry relevance—while also addressing key ethical safeguards and practical tips for new coaches. Key Topics & Takeaways: 1. AI's Impact in Coaching AI is already being used (sometimes secretly) by executives and their teams, regardless of top-down adoption. It acts as an indispensable tool, not a threat—think of it as a “brilliant but blunt analyst” that's now part of every leadership circle. Three big shifts: stealth adoption, compressed decision cycles, and democratized simulation with AI tools. 2. How Coaches Are Using AI Massive time savings: AI can organize, summarize, and document calls and workshops in minutes instead of hours. Enhanced client relationships: With routine admin handled by AI, coaches focus on deeper human connections and tailored follow-ups. Powerful diagnostics: Tools like Profit Acceleration Software (PAS) quickly generate profit opportunity roadmaps with minimal data entry, saving time and impressing clients. 3. Demonstrating Value & ROI AI bridges the industry's “credibility gap” by providing both qualitative and quantitative proof of progress. Tools can analyze and track changes in mindset or business performance, helping coaches and clients see tangible results and ROI, updating results in real time. 4. Ethical Considerations Caroline's “Three Cs” of AI ethics: Consent (transparent use and permission), Containment (clear data boundaries and privacy), and Clarity (explainable, source-based results). Coaches should update contracts, anonymize sensitive information, and consider keeping an audit trail of AI interactions to build trust. 5. Advice for New Coaches Treat AI fluency like learning a new sport: start with prompt crafting and develop a regular practice routine. Focus on a “pilot loop”: select a single workflow to automate, measure improvement, and iterate. Harness free online training (from ChatGPT Academy, Google, YouTube) to build AI skills quickly and effectively. 6. Avoiding Overwhelm Filter decisions through: Bottleneck (where do you lose most time?), Anchor (pick one main tool), and Layer (slowly add new tools). Start small, evaluate results, and scale up as you go. 7. Staying Relevant in an AI World Differentiation comes from combining AI-driven insight, compelling storytelling, and an irreplaceable human touch. AI streamlines precision and analysis; coaches add value through empathy, leadership, and psychological depth. Embrace AI as your “superpower,” not a replacement for your unique human perspective. Notable Quotes: “AI is already in the room. It's a tool, not a threat.” “The best opportunity for coaches now is to help clients make sense of AI—decode, challenge, and humanize it.” “At the end of the day... that ability to connect at a human level, to make a difference, to be heard, to influence—are absolutely critical. AI just multiplies your impact.” Resource Links: Profit Acceleration Software by Focused.com ChatGPT Academy For more strategies on elevating your business coaching practice and leveraging cutting-edge AI, check out previous episodes or visit Focused.com.

In this episode, Rode Dog and Karl Bryan dive deep into some of today's biggest “hot button” business topics, including Tariffs, AI disruptions, and industry insights for business coaches. They also mix in some fun with Canadian culture, hockey heartbreaks, domains as investments, and give practical advice for coaches looking to future-proof their businesses. Key Topics & Takeaways 1. Tariffs, Trade, and Global Shifts Rode Dog kickstarts with a question about tariffs, leading Karl to discuss how trade wars (like the US-China standoff) are shaking up global production strategies. Example: Apple's iPhone production moving from China to India. While tariffs achieved moving manufacturing out of China, it's not returning to the USA, and may result in higher costs for consumers. Karl predicts India could be the next global superpower due to its English proficiency, young population, and established legal system. 2. The Next AI Boom: Vertical AI Agents AI is evolving fast; Karl introduces the idea of "vertical AI agents" — specialized AI systems designed to automate and optimize niche business processes. Example: Instead of broad tools like ChatGPT, imagine specially-built AI tools just for onboarding new coaching clients or handling unique business tasks. Takeaway: Coaches and entrepreneurs should think ahead about how to leverage AI to streamline their own offerings or improve their clients' systems. 3. Industries Most (and Least) Affected by AI Karl flips the usual question—rather than only asking which industries will be disrupted, consider which won't be. Industries ripe for disruption: accounting, finance, healthcare (especially wearables/predictive analytics), cybersecurity, transportation (self-driving vehicles), inventory management, customer service. Industries less vulnerable: Pest control, roofing, painting—businesses unlikely to be targeted by tech giants or replaced by automation (at least, for now). Expect living and business costs to decrease over time as AI reduces overheads across sectors. 4. Adaptation Mindset: Fear, Anger, and Opportunity Major take-home: Don't let fear or anger about change (like AI) hold you or your clients back. Be proactive—learn, experiment, and adapt. Karl reminds listeners: successful entrepreneurs are lifelong learners. Don't get “owned” by past habits or anxieties—stay focused on yourself and actionable progress. 5. Opportunistic Investing (Stocks & Domains) Rode Dog puts Karl on the spot for a “stock pick”—Karl mentions Uber and Spotify as blue-chip plays, but heavily caveats this is NOT financial advice. Karl also shares his continued belief in premium domain names (.com > .net/.org/.ca) as a long-term, low-maintenance investment—with an eye on branding and digital real estate in the coming years. Note: For Canada-specific strategies, .ca domains are useful for patriotic/niche marketing, but .com still reigns for long-term value. 6. Humor & Human Touch The hosts riff on the heartbreak of being a Toronto Maple Leafs fan and the Canadian experience, adding levity and relatability for their audience. References to newsjacking (tying your marketing to current events), mindfulness, and living a long life (for maximum benefit from the AI age). Karl's Zen Moment / Closing Thought The two emotions most likely to stop you reaching your goals: Anger and fear. To escape the loop, focus less on the unchangeable past/fear and more on next actions. “You'll be remembered for what you refuse to give up on.” It's never too late to retool—Ray Kroc started McDonald's at 52; Colonel Sanders in his 60s. Focus on what you help people build, not just what you say.

Success comes from consistent, iterative momentum—not just one-off tactics.

On episode 295 of Business Coaching Secrets with Karl Bryan, Karl explores flywheels, business models, and more! If you're focused on building a thriving coaching business (and who isn't, right?), this episode is packed with wisdom you can put to work immediately. Here are my top 3 takeaways you don't want to miss: Stop “Winging It”—Embrace Modeling Over Trial & Error: Trial and error may sound entrepreneurial, but Karl makes a strong case that it's an expensive and inefficient approach. Instead, seek out proven models. Reverse engineer what works for the most successful companies or coaches, install those systems, and THEN fine-tune for your style. Upgrade Your Coaching Level—Become an Installer: Karl identifies three tiers of coaches: Hiders (those playing it safe), Wingers (those improvising), and Installers (those using proven, duplicatable systems). The real secret? Make it your mission to become an Installer. These are the coaches who retain clients for the long haul because they offer predictable, results-focused processes. Think in Flywheels for Real Growth: Instead of chasing one-off wins, visualize your business as a flywheel—a model where each win builds momentum for the next. From acquiring leads to converting revenue to scaling profits, when you focus on systems that create compounding results, your growth accelerates sustainably.

Monday Motivation: Insights from Business Coaching Secrets  Had the chance to catch the latest episode of "Business Coaching Secrets" with Karl Bryan and special guest, Tom Kavanaugh. Packed with wisdom for business coaches and entrepreneurs alike! Here are three key takeaways that really stood out: Purpose Drives Progress: Tom emphasized the critical role of having a clear, precise purpose—not just for business, but for everything you do. Purpose isn't just motivation; it activates your subconscious mind and helps you learn, integrate, and execute at a higher level. Flexibility & Resilience Win: In business (and in life), plans rarely survive first contact with reality. Tom referenced Mike Tyson's classic quote: “Everybody has a plan till they get hit in the face.” The ability to pivot, adapt, and stay resilient through setbacks is what separates lasting success from short-lived ventures. Daily Goals Are Your Secret Weapon: Rather than seeing goals as tasks, Tom reframes them as measurements of daily improvement—a Kaizen approach. Write your goals down, start the day with a win (even if it's just making your bed!), and invest in continual learning and self-care to build sustainable momentum.

Business Coaching Secrets, Episode 293: Building Profitable Coaching Practices  Just finished the latest episode of Business Coaching Secrets with Karl Bryan, and I'm fired up! Karl dropped a ton of actionable insights on business cost control, profitability frameworks, and how the power of focus (and saying “no”) is central to scaling any business or coaching practice. Here are my top three takeaways from the episode: Profit is the true domino: Karl emphasizes that profit is the driving force that knocks over all other dominoes in your business. Want a better team, more time off, happier clients? Focus on profitability first—it enables everything else. Frameworks beat firefighting: Don't get dragged into the weeds with clients. Leverage video training for the fundamentals, and use your coaching time exclusively for execution, implementation, and accountability. This strategic approach lets you double your client impact without doubling your hours. The power of saying NO: The most successful people (and coaches) are those who relentlessly say no to distractions and yes only to their core vision. Whether you're building your own practice or guiding clients, clarity on your “North Star” will dramatically improve your decision-making and results. There's so much gold in this episode for anyone in coaching or entrepreneurship. If you want to build a business you could sell tomorrow (but won't want to), this is a must-listen. #businesscoaching #profitability #entrepreneurship #growthmindset #BusinessCoachingSecrets Ready to elevate your coaching business?

On episode 291 of Business Coaching Secrets with Karl Bryan and Rode Dog! If you're looking to elevate your coaching game, this episode is packed with valuable gems. Here are three key takeaways: Framework for Big Decisions: When faced with a big decision, use this simple framework: Identify the upside, recognize the downside, and ask yourself if you can live with the downside.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your approach, here are three key takeaways from this episode that can transform your coaching business: Identify Your Primary Drive:  Everyone is motivated by one of four main forces: money, status, freedom, or relationships.

If you want to delve deep into the art of crafting a successful coaching business, this episode is packed with valuable insights.

Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into strategies and insights to help you build a thriving coaching practice.

Excited to share some invaluable insights from the latest episode of the "Business Coaching Secrets" podcast with Karl Bryan and special guest, Dr. Alan Gatlin! In episode BCS 284, we peeled back the layers of building a thriving coaching business. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss: Focus Beyond Your Company Name:  Just like the NFL, don't promote your business name—promote your products, programs, and events instead. These are what capture interest and ultimately lead to coaching clients. Swap that "company cheerleading" for a compelling product showcase! Consider Buying Over Starting from Scratch:  Starting a business comes with high failure rates. Instead, look into acquiring an established business to bypass those early-stage risks. This approach positions you more favorably for success by acquiring clients at a "wholesale" rather than a "retail" rate. The Bezos Question - What Won't Change?:  When seeking the big idea, ask what won't change in your industry or market. For Amazon, it was low prices, fast delivery, and massive selection. Identify these constants to anchor your business approach for lasting success.

Dive into the secrets of building a thriving coaching business with our latest podcast episode of Business Coaching Secrets! In Episode 283, Karl Bryan and Road Dog unpack essential strategies and insights to elevate your coaching practice.  Here are three key takeaways from this episode: Simplicity in Business: Keeping it simple is crucial. As Karl mentioned, “Get clients, keep clients.” This straightforward approach helps in focusing on the core of business success. By clearly defining the starting line and the finish line, you set a path for measurable progress. Value of Accumulated Wealth: Karl emphasizes that 80% of wealth is accumulated rather than earned. Investing in appreciating assets like real estate, stocks, or businesses can combat inflation and build substantial long-term wealth, much like Warren Buffett's strategies. Effective Business Models: Rethinking your business model can massively impact success. Karl's example with accountants moving from a low-fee, high-volume model to a higher-value consulting approach showcases the power of innovative thinking. This principle can be applied to various industries, including coaching. Don't miss out on these invaluable insights!

Building a Successful Coaching Business: Key Insights from Business Coaching Secrets Podcast  In our latest episode of "Business Coaching Secrets," Karl Bryan and co-host Road Dog dive deep into strategies for building a thriving coaching business. Whether you're an experienced coach or just starting out, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Here are three key takeaways: Go All In for Success: Many coaches fail because they are half-hearted about their business. Carl emphasizes the importance of commitment and having a clear vision. This is akin to Mel Fisher's relentless 17-year pursuit of treasure, driven by three core beliefs: Belief that the opportunity exists : Conviction that business owners are out there and want to grow. Belief in your capability : Confidence that you can be the one they choose to guide them. Belief in the worthiness of the journey : Understanding that the trials and tribulations will be worth it in the end. Avoid Unforced Errors: Drawing parallels with sports, Carl explains how unforced errors can be detrimental in business. Some common mistakes include: Focusing on the wrong clients : Spending too much time on squeaky wheel clients rather than the profitable 20%. Neglecting fundamentals : Like tennis players who keep the ball in play, business owners need to stay consistent with their core practices to avoid costly mistakes. Build a Personal Brand: Personal branding can set you apart in a crowded market. Carl points out how successful individuals like Tony Robbins and Elon Musk get paid more for who they are than what they do: Use social media effectively : Create content that resonates with your audience and share it consistently. Evolve your brand : Just like Mark Zuckerberg rebranded himself over time, be willing to adapt and grow your personal brand. Be memorable and inspiring : Craft a vision that makes others take notice. Remember the power of a big, bold statement. Check out the full episode for more insights and actionable advice on driving success in your coaching business!

Thrilled to share the latest episode of Business Coaching Secrets (BCS 281) with Karl Bryan! A treasure trove of valuable insights for business coaches and entrepreneurs, this episode had some incredible takeaways.  Here are my top 3 highlights: Simplification Over Complexity: Karl Bryan emphasized the power of simplifying business strategies rather than being overly fancy. Simplifying processes can often yield more effective results. Example from the episode: Implementing a simple referral sheet at live events netted 31 referrals for one client!  Maintenance Programs for Client Retention: Regular check-ins and maintenance programs can create more business opportunities and cement client relationships. Karl illustrated how a kitchen remodeler visiting clients 30, 60, and 90 days post-service can lead to more work and higher client satisfaction.  The Power of Percentages: Understanding and leveraging small percentage improvements in various areas of a business can lead to substantial growth. Tip shared: An increase from 20% to 30% margins is not just 10%, but a 50% improvement! Calculating improvements in percentages rather than whole numbers emphasizes the true impact.

Have you ever wondered how scammers succeed? What tempts people to fall into their traps, and how can we protect ourselves? Today, I’m excited to dive into this topic with my incredible friend, mentor, and business coach, Mike Johnston. This is part one of a very special three-part series on scams—a topic that’s deeply personal for me, because I was scammed. This series was recorded months ago. At the time, I wasn’t even sure I had been scammed. A whirlwind of revelations followed, including legal proceedings involving the individual who scammed me, someone operating under the names Tiffany Black or Tiffany Bentley. Authorities now believe many other victims have yet to come forward. If you think this sounds familiar or know you’ve been affected, please contact the Tweed Heads Police Station in Australia to share your story. Scammers thrive on silence, and by speaking out, we can prevent others from becoming victims. In this episode, Mike and I share our personal experiences with scams, along with valuable insights and strategies for protecting yourself. We’ve also included updates on how to spot common scams and ways to avoid emotional traps. If you have been a victim too, let me remind you: it’s not your fault and you are not alone. Scammers are skilled at making you feel to blame. And to those who may be engaging in harmful practices, I urge you to reconsider, the ripple effects of your actions are far-reaching. So grab a cup of tea or coffee, settle in, and enjoy this candid conversation. Let’s learn, grow, and move forward together. Without further ado, here’s Mike Johnston. We’ll be talking about: ➡ [0:00] Introduction ➡ [7:38] I got scammed, again. ➡ [11:02] Scamming in business ➡ [12:20] Mike’s experience with a scammer ➡ [22:21] Other industries are susceptible to scammers ➡ [24:04] My own experience with a scammer ➡ [28:29] Too good to be true, a key lesson ➡ [38:26] Being open to a scam ➡ [42:50] Scamming is becoming easier for scammers ➡ [47:20] The things that really charge you up are things that you don’t accept about yourself ➡ [50:46] It’s not who you are, it’s who you perceive you are ➡ [53:56] What are you learning from the scam ➡ [57:17] Creating boundaries ➡ [1:03:59] Mike’s message ➡ [1:07:41] Final thoughts Resources: If you believe that you’ve been scammed by Tiffany Black or Tiffany Bentley, please contact Tweed Heads Police Station - https://www.police.nsw.gov.au/about_us/regions_commands_districts/northern_region/tweed-byron/tweed_heads_police_station Book Recommendations: ➡ The Lie Detection Book by William J Majeski: https://bit.ly/3W5xAHI Join our Community: ➡ Subscribe to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DirectSellingAccelerator ➡ Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/auxanomarketing/ About our guest: Mike Johnston is a success architect, intervention strategist, and challenger of the status quo.
