They discuss how Patrick secured two offers from top medical device companies, the importance of getting sales experience in college, overcoming age-related bias in hiring, being proactive and coachable in the job search, how to network with purpose, what not to do in cold outreach, how to stand out as a candidate without prior B2B experience, and why it's more about how you tell your story than your resume.Key Takeaways:Start getting experience early, even if it's not traditional B2B sales. Patrick sold cars during college and treated it like real sales training.If you're still in school or recently graduated, don't wait to apply. Start learning how to sell yourself and prepare for interviews now.Avoid vague outreach like “Can I pick your brain?” Instead, show up prepared, have a plan for every call, and respect people's time.Interviewing is all about how you tell your story. You don't need a decade of experience. You need to show grit, coachability, and professionalism.Be proactive. Companies notice candidates who show up with preparation, purpose, and energy, even if they're young.Don't get discouraged if you get mixed advice when networking.

In this second episode of our Discovery by Practitioners series, we hear from disciple-makers across West Africa, particularly from French-speaking contexts, as they share how the Discovery Bible Study (DBS) is catalysing movements of disciple-making. These leaders open up about the practical realities of applying DBS across cultures, languages, and contexts—always pointing back to simple obedience to the Word of God. Part One: DBS in West Africa – Leading and Multiplying with Purpose We first hear from a West African brother who unpacks how DBS is being used both for developing leaders and for outreach. Key Takeaways: Start with relationships – Discovery begins in the context of trusted relationships, often with families. Keep groups small – (e.g. No more than 15 people). Once the group grows, it multiplies by forming new groups. Two types of DBS: Leadership DBS: For existing believers, to go deeper in discipleship. Outreach DBS: For seekers or non-believers. These groups intentionally invite others to join each week, leading to organic multiplication. “This is how groups grow—first in size, then by multiplication.” Context matters – Cultural awareness is key. For example: In West Africa, people are open to gathering in homes—something the movement can take advantage of. Language matters! Words like “challenges” might be misunderstood in some countries to mean financial struggles, so facilitators adapt their questions accordingly. “Our questions might look different on the surface, but the heart and purpose remain the same.” Time awareness – Keep sessions within one hour. Adults often struggle to stay focused beyond that. But again—context is king. Part Two: DBS in French Speaking Africa Next, we hear from another African practitioner working in a French-speaking region. He shares how the DBS process begins after identifying a Person of Peace—someone open to God and connected in their community. Once this person is found, DBS often happens in their household or family, helping whole families discover God together. Principles of Effective DBS: Scripture is central – The Word of God is always the authority in the group. Facilitate, don't teach – The role is to guide discovery, not to lecture. Obedience is the goal – Each study leads to: An “I will…” statement – How each person will put God's Word into practice. A commitment to share what was learned with someone else. “If there's no obedience step or sharing, it's not a DBS—it's just another Bible study.” Building Group DNA: Start with gratitude – Ask what people are thankful for. Show care – Ask about personal needs and challenges. Value participation – Ensure everyone shares, bringing dignity and inclusion. Look outward – Ask: What are the challenges in our wider community? What can we do together to respond? “We don't just identify needs. We encourage the group itself to respond. That's how we bring dignity and ownership to the group.”
In this episode of the Contractor Growth Network podcast, Logan Shinholser sits down with Kyle Hunt, remodeling business coach and founder of Remodelers on the Rise. Kyle breaks down his signature "Remodelers Roadmap"—a six-system framework designed to simplify and strengthen every core aspect of a remodeling business. From financials and marketing to people and operations, Kyle shares actionable advice and mindset shifts that help remodelers move from chaos to clarity in their business strategy. Key Takeaways: Start with Strong Financials Kyle emphasizes that a healthy remodeling business begins with financial clarity: Understand job costing, gross vs. net profit, and pricing strategy. Establish a solid financial foundation to support sustainable growth. Avoid burnout by making your business serve your life—not the other way around. Marketing Isn't Optional—It's the Engine Kyle shares how too many remodelers treat marketing like a side task instead of a strategic priority: Every business owner must be a student of marketing—even if they're not executing it directly. Build a clear marketing plan and pair it with a defined budget. Track lead sources consistently to make data-backed decisions. Sales Requires a Repeatable Process A wishy-washy sales approach leaves clients confused and kills conversion: Define your “This is how we work” process in 3–5 clear steps. Display your sales process on your website and reinforce it in person. Charging for design becomes easier when clients understand the value and flow. Production Is About More Than the Build Kyle urges remodelers to elevate the client experience from day one on the job site: Pre-construction meetings are essential to set expectations and avoid surprises. A systematic “final 5%” process ensures projects end as strong as they start. Communication, cleanliness, and consistency are critical soft skills on the job. Your People System Drives Your Success The quality of your remodeling business is directly tied to the quality of your team: Empower team members with 1-on-1s, leadership development, and capacity checks. Great leaders create space for others to lead—inside and outside their roles. “Your people are more important than your profit margin.” Operations Aren't Just Software—They're Structure Behind-the-scenes systems create forward momentum: Use software to track jobs, log daily updates, and align estimating with accounting. Establish a meeting cadence with clear agendas, action steps, and timekeeping. Effective meetings are a business unlock—and a leadership responsibility. Memorable Quotes: “If you're wondering why your remodeling business feels so hard—it's because it is hard.” “Don't try to implement five things halfway. Pick one thing and really implement it.” “The quality of your remodeling business will never outpace the quality of your people.” Actionable Advice: Identify Your Starting Line: Before tackling all six systems, get clear on time management, pricing, and financial health. Document Your Sales Process: Put it in writing, share it online, and walk clients through it every time. Run Better Meetings: Prepare agendas, assign timekeepers, and prioritize action over updates. Track Marketing Sources: Don't just “feel” like something works—measure it. Choose the Next Right Thing: Focus on one area, implement fully, and move forward with momentum.

This interview with Ron Soucy covers his longtime involvement in the fishkeeping hobby, especially with African Cichlids. He shares memories of being among the first to breed certain Tanganyikan fish and the excitement around new species arriving. Eric and Ron discuss how the hobby has changed, with fewer new fish and the decline of local fish stores. Ron recounts interesting breeding experiences, like Synodontis catfish acting as foster parents. He also shares his experiences as a fish wholesaler and offers tips for keeping certain fish, such as lowering the water temperature for Triglachromis and using Epsom salt. Although Ron isn't currently keeping fish, he fondly remembers his past and encourages others in the hobby to persevere and enjoy it. Key Takeaways: Start simple and learn as you go, just like Ron began with bettas. Embrace the excitement of discovery and new experiences in your passions. Value and cultivate the connections and friendships you make through shared interests. Don't be afraid to experiment and observe closely to find solutions to challenges. Persevere through setbacks and losses, as they are a natural part of any rewarding pursuit.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the idea of building your author platform? Not sure where to start or how to connect with your readers? You're not alone! In this week's episode of The Resilient Writers Radio Show, I sit down with author and certified book coach Nicole Meier to break it all down into simple, actionable steps.Nicole is the author of The House of Bradbury, The Girl Made of Clay, and The Second Chance Supper Club, and her latest book, City of Books, is out now! She's also a developmental editor and co-founder of Bookworks, where she helps writers create an engaging author platform that aligns with their goals.In our conversation, Nicole shares why so many writers feel stuck when it comes to marketing themselves—and how to move past the overwhelm. If you've ever thought, Do I have to be on every social media platform? Do I need a newsletter? What kind of content should I even be sharing?—this episode is for you!Key Takeaways:✅ Start with Your “Why” – Before diving into social media or email marketing, take a moment to reflect on what you want from your platform. Do you want to connect with readers? Build credibility? Attract an agent? Understanding your purpose will help you make smarter choices.✅ Go Where Your Readers Are – Not every platform is right for every author. Romance writers might thrive on Instagram, while nonfiction writers may find their audience on LinkedIn. Nicole shares how to identify the best place to focus your energy.✅ Less is More – The biggest mistake writers make is trying to be everywhere at once. Nicole recommends choosing one platform and showing up consistently rather than spreading yourself too thin. Quality and consistency matter more than quantity!✅ Be Authentic – You don't have to dance on TikTok or create elaborate content if it doesn't feel right for you. Share your writing journey, behind-the-scenes moments, and insights into your creative process—authenticity is what truly connects readers to authors.✅ Newsletters Are Gold – Social media is great for visibility, but email lists convert better when it comes to book sales. Nicole explains why a newsletter (via Substack or another platform) can be a game-changer for your author career.✅ Avoid Common Mistakes – Nicole highlights the top three mistakes authors make: not knowing their purpose, overcommitting to too many platforms, and feeling like they're not “worthy” of having a platform. She reassures us that small, consistent efforts are what really matter.If you want a step-by-step plan to grow your audience, this episode could be exactly what you need!

Key Takeaways: Start fast, learn fast: LLance emphasizes the importance of getting a product to market quickly and refining based on real customer feedback. “Don't waste any time, don't overthink it. Really focus on the simplest application of your product and get it in front of people who might buy it.” Solve a real problem: Millie's Sipping Broth fills a gap in the beverage market—offering a savory, low-calorie alternative to coffee, tea, and hot cocoa. “We were selling broth in the middle of summer, in 100-degree heat, and people were buying it. That's when we knew we had something special.” Scaling smartly: LLance explains why finding the right retail partners at the right time is crucial and how their online success, including being featured by Weight Watchers International, helped prepare them for mass distribution.

Yeah, subscriptions can add up, both personally and professionally!

Click below https://www.patreon.com/perfecthealth Learn more: https://perfecthealthlesson.com/ Show Notes: The New Science of Physical HealthEpisode Title: Hot Take: Andrew Huberman Explains How to Live Forever (Or Just Look Like It) In this episode, we delve into the world of health, fitness, and longevity, guided by the insights of Dr. Andrew Huberman, Stanford neuroscientist and host of the wildly popular Huberman Lab podcast. Recently named one of The Hollywood Reporter's 40 Most Powerful People in Podcasting, Huberman breaks down complex scientific topics into actionable advice—and today, we're tackling some of his hottest takes on caffeine, nicotine, VO₂ max, and the keys to a long, healthy life. 6 Million Subscribers & Counting: Huberman's podcast is a beacon for anyone curious about optimizing their health and performance. Approachable Science: From explaining the impact of alcohol on your brain to teaching you how to sleep better, Huberman combines scientific rigor with practical, everyday relevance. Huberman answers 10 big questions about staying youthful, boosting energy, and living longer. Here's a sneak peek at the key topics we unpack: 2.1. Caffeine: Friend or Foe? What Huberman Says: A modest caffeine intake can enhance focus and energy without jittery side effects—but it's not a health panacea. Our Hot Take: While caffeine can provide a quick boost, it pales in comparison to the profound benefits of aerobic fitness and VO₂ max improvement. 2.2. The Nicotine Debate: Brain Boost or Bad Idea? What Huberman Says: Non-carcinogenic nicotine (via gum or mints) can improve memory and energy—but it's not without risks. Our Hot Take: The potential cognitive perks of nicotine don't outweigh the long-term risks to cardiovascular health and its addictive nature. What's VO₂ Max? A measure of how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. Huberman's Insight: Improving VO₂ max through regular high-intensity exercise can reduce mortality risk by up to 400%—far more impactful than dietary tweaks or supplements. Key Takeaways: Start small with consistent aerobic workouts (e.g., brisk walking, cycling, swimming). Incorporate high-intensity intervals to challenge your cardiovascular system. Track progress with wearables or fitness apps to stay motivated. “Improving VO₂ max doesn't just extend your life—it transforms how you live.” “Caffeine and nicotine are quick fixes, but cardiorespiratory fitness is the ultimate energy upgrade.” Swap caffeine dependency for consistent aerobic exercise. Focus on long-term health levers like VO₂ max rather than short-term stimulants. Check out Andrew Huberman's Huberman Lab podcast for more science-backed tips.

Rob Moore interviews 9-year-old entrepreneur Maxwell Morley, who shares his passion for making money at a young age. Rob offers valuable advice on starting a business, growing wealth, and learning essential financial skills not taught in school. This episode is a must-listen for anyone, young or old, looking to kickstart their entrepreneurial journey and secure a successful financial future. KEY TAKEAWAYS Start a business by focusing on what you love and finding ways to monetise your skills, such as selling your artwork or creating engaging social media content. Grow your money by investing in the stock market or property, rather than simply saving, as inflation can decrease the value of money over time. Learn from successful people who have achieved the kind of wealth you aspire to, as they can teach you valuable lessons that aren't taught in school. Define your financial goals and price your products or services accordingly, taking into account the time and effort required to create them. Be cautious of get-rich-quick schemes and instead follow authentic, successful individuals who have proven their expertise over time. Start your business as soon as possible, even if you don't have all the answers, as taking action is key to making progress towards your goals. Seek help and support from your parents or trusted adults when starting your entrepreneurial journey, as they can provide valuable guidance and assistance. BEST MOMENTS "So, if someone's young like you, and you want to start a business, the first thing is you've got to think about what you like." "Saving is really, the purpose of saving is to stop you spending it and wasting it. As soon as you've spent it, you've got it. As soon as you've saved it, you've got to invest it." "The quickest way to get rich is find someone who's rich and learn from them." "So, to be successful, a big part of it is just starting. Like, you don't know everything now, but I don't know everything either."

Former Salesforce executive and Cerebral Selling founder David Priemer shows why focusing solely on product features and ROI misses what truly drives sales. Drawing from his experience leading small business sales at Salesforce and building four successful startups, Priemer shares the connection between human psychology and sales results. Research shows buyers choose based on feelings rather than logic – a blind spot for many sales teams. When analyzing 70 sales representatives at Salesforce, Priemer found the highest performers built genuine belief in their solutions instead of relying on feature lists. This insight reshaped how their sales teams approached customer conversations. Priemer introduces the "love-hate framework" for creating sales messages that connect. His example of Trunk Club shows this in action: "a service for men who love to dress well but hate to go shopping." This positioning helped secure their acquisition by Nordstrom by speaking to customer emotions instead of product specs. The discussion examines why business cases alone don't close deals, how real conviction outperforms product knowledge, and what builds lasting customer relationships. Key Takeaways: Start with Emotion: Connect with how customers feel about their challenges before presenting solutions Build Real Belief: Sales success comes from actually believing in your solution's impact on customers Own the Outcome: Taking responsibility for customer results builds deeper business relationships Top 3 Reasons to Listen: Close More Deals: Apply the psychological principles that drive buying decisions to improve your sales conversations Stand Out in Your Market: Build an authentic sales approach that sets you apart when traditional ROI pitches fall flat Increase Customer Trust: Position your business using the love-hate framework that turned Trunk Club into a multi-million dollar success Follow Mark: LinkedIn: https://hi.switchy.io/markdrager Instagram: https://hi.switchy.io/KcKi Want more free tools?

John Karsant, founder of LevelUp Leads, shares his journey from tennis coaching to establishing a successful lead generation agency. With years of experience in sales development, John provides insights on building pipelines, hiring sales development representatives (SDRs), and the importance of aligning sales processes with organizational goals. Key Quotes: "If you don't have a sales process and expect an SDR to figure it out, you're setting them up for failure." "A lot of outbound campaigns fail because companies overlook the small things—like having a professional website and a clear social presence." "Don't rely on one channel for leads; diversifying your approach is the key to long-term success." John Karsant discusses the essentials of building a scalable sales pipeline and the pitfalls of outsourcing sales development too early. He highlights the importance of leadership, process documentation, and aligning marketing and sales efforts. John also emphasizes the role of consistent branding and creating trust with potential clients. Find Your Catalyst at https://www.findmycatalyst.com/ 5 Key Takeaways: Start with the Basics: Document processes early, even if they evolve over time. Ensure internal resources are in place before outsourcing. SDRs need direction and tools to succeed; don't hire without a solid sales framework. Outsourcing Sales Development: Pros: Faster go-to-market, reduced overhead, and immediate access to expertise. Cons: Risk of misalignment without clear internal processes. Choose outsourcing when the focus is on rapid scalability and experimentation. Building a Professional Presence: A polished website builds trust and credibility. Case studies and customer testimonials are critical for proving your value. Social media activity enhances visibility and establishes authority in your field. The Right Time for SDRs: Ensure product-market fit before scaling outreach. SDRs thrive when companies provide clear guidelines and ICP (Ideal Customer Profile). Avoid hiring if your company lacks a defined process or materials to support sales. Effective Lead Generation Strategies: Combine inbound and outbound efforts for maximum impact. Use data-driven insights, like growth rates and employee turnover, to identify prospects. Diversify lead-generation tactics to adapt to market changes and reduce risk.
