My guest on this week's episode of Suds & Search is Kane Jamison, Founder at Content Harmony. Kane is a veteran digital marketer, conference speaker, and blogger. He is sought after for his expertise in content marketing. Kane has spoken at MozCon, Engage, State of Search, LaunchCon, and many other places. I really like the value prop for his company Content Harmony. Content Harmony started as an agency in 2012 and worked with nearly 200 clients on content writing and SEO. Over time, Kane realized that a major differentiator for their agency was the quality of content briefs. Kane fundamentally shifted from an agency model and created software and workflows for agencies and writers to create content briefs. In my experience, creating content briefs is an important but often rushed process that can make or break a successful content marketing campaign. Content Harmony helps agencies and writers streamline the process of making content briefs with workflows and automation. The tool they've created has an almost hilarious number of testimonials from a who's who of the top SEOs in the industry. Grab something cold to drink and join me for a conversation with content marketing expert, Kane Jamison. We'll talk about what pain points his content brief software alleviates, we'll chat a little bit about his passion project Insteading, and we'll talk about the famous MozCon pre-parties that Kane helped organize.

Marisa Murgatroyd Online Education Expert and Pioneer of the Experience Product Hi, I’m Marisa Murgatroyd and I teach people how to design and market a brand new kind of online program called an “Experience Product” that combines gamification, adult learning theory and the psychology of motivation to create an unforgettable experience that gets anywhere from 10-30x the industry-standard results for your customers... and your business. And the best part is that anyone can do it. I started my career as an artist who was told by my father that I had no marketable skills. I figured out how to build a mid-7-figure business anyway and showed over 7,000 students how to succeed online — many of whom also felt like they had “no marketable skills” or were told they couldn’t do it. I’m on a mission to reinvent online education around the world so results and engagement become the norm and not the exception. I’ve created three seven-figure-a-year experiencified product lines with record-breaking student engagement and results. All in, I’ve sold over $17M in online courses and programs since I launched my first course in 2013. I’ve shared my new approach to product creation at top industry events including Mindvalley Momentum, Evercoach Summit, LaunchCon, MFA Live, and Traffic & Conversion Summit (December 2020). I’ve also supported dozens of industry leaders in integrating this methodology into their products to reduce refunds and increase sales and repeat sales including Josh Turner, Mary Morrissey, Jon Morrow, Alex Mandossian, Jesse & Sharla, Ocean Robbins, and many more. Most recently I co-founded Xperiencify, the world’s first fully gamified membership site software, with my husband Murray to make this methodology available to more online course creators. I’m also the go-to brand builder for 7- and 8-figure industry luminaries and heavyweights, including Eben Pagan, Callan Rush, Justin Livingston, Susan Peirce Thompson, Mike Koenigs, Sage Lavine, and Gary Zukav.

“Who are you NOT to be who you are? If a girl like me who came to Canada with five dollars in her pocket can do this, why can't you?” – Thembi Bheka Thembi Bheka is the founder of She Breaks Thru.

As a result, she trains African women to work online as virtual assistants.

Show Notes [02:01] Patrick introduces his next REIN Member guest, Thembi Bheka. [03:31] Thembi and Patrick jump into their conversation and Thembi's long-lasting REIN Membership! [04:25] Thembi quick and easy elevator pitch followed by a little more detail about who she supports with her coaching. [05:43] Thembi shares the story of why she came to Canada from Zimbabwe and how her desire to empower other women led her to REIN and real estate investing. [07:09] How REIN gave Thembi the confidence to start investing and the community gave her the push she needed to really make an impact on other people's lives through coaching, mentoring and giving back. [09:49] Living in Zimbabwe at the age of 22, married for eight months and pregnant, Thembi discovers her husband's dishonesty. Her desperation to escape her situation drives her to take a chance on immigrating to Canada. [11:31] Why did Thembi choose Canada? [13:04] A Canadian program that funded Thembi's nursing education was a catalyst not only for changing her life but possibly saving it. [14:39] Thembi's mindset during this time was certainly rooted in survival but also flourished in gratitude to be in Canada and have abundant resources available to her. [15:44] After a difficult four-year separation from her daughter, Thembi was able to bring her to Canada, finish her nursing education and when she relocated to Edmonton, found REIN. [16:32] Thembi describes her journey into real estate, the inspiring story from a fellow nurse and investor which had her reach out and consequently join the REIN community. [18:24] How the Rapid Cash Program accelerated Thembi's confidence, knowledge, investing and wealth. [21:58] Thembi's passion to positively impact women in Zimbabwe was realistically not going to be through real estate but her training sparked another idea to increase income and quality of life for these women through their own business of being a Virtual Assistant. [25:17] By letting down her guard and sharing her story, Thembi created broader public speaking opportunities for herself. She wanted to reach her audience and allow them to understand what could be achieved by letting go of excuses.
Rachel Wright is a marriage counselor and licensed psychotherapist. She is recognized as one of the freshest voices on modern and millennial relationships. Referred to as “bridging the gap between a self-help book and a therapist’s couch, she is one half of Wright Wellness Center, where together with her husband Kyle, they are helping people have better sex, relationships, and mental health. They’ve created a healthy, communicative, and passionate relationship by using the very same techniques they teach — Everything we have developed is research-based. She has been featured widely in the media including Cosmopolitan, Women’s Health, PsychologyToday, and dozens of other outlets. How did you and Kyle meet? They were both working in restaurants. Rachel had just completed her master's degree and needed a part-time job. She started working at a brand new restaurant as a server and Kyle was part of the training team. Immediately they hated each other. They would frequently argue and she thought he was an arsehole. After the training Ryan would stay in touch by contacting her on Jewish holidays. A year later Rachel joined Kyle and the training team to open the companies 4th restaurant. And they could now stop talking. They connected deeply and realized they had both found their person. Can you give me a little snapshot of the timeline? Met and hated each other. A year later reconnected and kissed. 3 weeks later Ryan told her that he loved her. 6 months later they moved in with each other. They were engaged after 2 years and married after 16 months. They have now been married for 2.5 years. How’s it going? Phenomenally. People think just have a great relationship that they don’t work on. But after both of them saw their parent’s go for divorce they knew they had to put in the work if they wanted a relationship to last a long time I had love at first sight with my husband. What was that like? We were on a blind date set up by one of his friends. We met at a wine bar and when he walked in there was an energy about him. He was so sweet and I just got that immediately. I hadn’t felt like that before, it was so easy. For me, I felt like I could really be with this person. I kinda just knew. I know that sounds weird but that was my experience. We all have these judgments around things in our lives, especially when our friends experience things very differently. It strikes us as weird. And it’s natural to have some uncertainty, right? A lot of times the uncertainty is about us more so than the other person. For Rachel, she had a lot of uncertainty when she first met Ryan. But what she didn’t consider was the ability for people to change. When she saw him a year later he was not the same person. So how did you go from training in a restaurant together to having your own relationship company together? After she completed her Masters, she continued her psychotherapy training by getting her 3000 hours for her license and started her own practice. She had been working towards this for so long and it was amazing. For about 3 months. Her focus was on couples and sex therapy. People would come in with the same issues. Body image, anxiety, their upbringing around sex and communication issues. Couples would come in calling each other names and were not able to decide what they wanted for dinner without arguing. Kyle was still working in restaurants and had worked his way up to a fancy restaurant in San Fransico as the Head Bartender. Rachel found she wasn’t actually doing any therapy and healing people. She was teaching them how to communicate with each other. Although she enjoyed doing that work, it wasn’t what she went to school for. Kyle thought she should create an informational package about how to talk to your partner. As she worked on it Rachel realized that Kyle had an ability to take her technical knowledge and put it into layman's terms. She sent the packet out to prospective clients and then realized that her clients stopped coming in. They no longer needed to come in for therapy. The law in California was so strict that she wasn’t able to sell the packet. They decided to create something online to provide this information to people. They realized there is nothing between self-help books and going to therapy. Rachel knew that Ryan was an important part of this idea because he could take the complicated things Rachel explained in a way people understood. Rachel wanted to go into business with Ryan but he was reluctant because he had these narratives about how he was in restaurants and hadn’t been good at school. In 2015, they started their business. They weren’t even married yet. I love how organic it was. They had the business idea long before they thought about starting a business. Rachel didn’t even see her private practice as a business. When did you shift into that business mentality? I know that can be difficult for some service practitioners. She will approach things as a clinician and not as an entrepreneur. She will look at the decision from the point of view as both a clinician and as a business person. She thinks there should be more business training in therapist training. Does Kyle have a degree or certification? Rachel jokes that he has an honorary degree because he now has enough knowledge to pass the licensing exam. Fiends and family wonder what Kyle does in the business because he doesn’t have that piece of paper. We all learn differently and it’s important to respect that. When Kyle is passionate about something he learns it quickly. But at school, he didn’t want to study things that didn’t mean anything to him. When they started the business, Kyle definitely felt some imposter syndrome. When did you start therapy? What was the reason? Rachel started therapy when she was 14 after her mum read her diary. She thought Rachel was hiding things and after reading the diary discovered that Rachel had smoke marijuana and slept with her boyfriend. Rachel was sent to therapy. She was pissed. However, after her first session in therapy, she knew she wanted to be a therapist. What about it had you feeling that way? She had never felt more seen, heard and understood. Her therapist matched her cursing and agreed that the way she ended up at therapy was not right. She helped Rachel understand her parent’s motivation and that they cared. So what happened? She left and told her parents that she had done nothing wrong but would keep going because she really liked it. She saw her therapist throughout high school and on and off during college. And now they are colleagues. How long were you in therapy for? Weekly, for about 3 years. What was the biggest thing you got out of that experience? She learned that she was a people pleaser and that if she ever wanted to have a healthy relationship with both herself and a partner, she was going to have to navigate anger and conflict. It such a big part of the human experience. We’re going to experience conflict if we’re going to express ourselves. How to manage that skilfully is so important and we are often not taught how to do that. We reap so many rewards when we work through conflict. One of the biggest misconceptions around conflict is that it’s bad. In relationships, whether it’s friends family or lovers, conflict is what helps us grow and get closer. If we don’t have conflict, that means that we don’t care because we’re not speaking our truth. We don’t get taught how to communicate and handle conflict but we also don’t get taught how to identify our feelings. How would you recommend someone who is experiencing conflict, in any relationship, be it intimate, at work, with family members, navigate the situation? Conflict is often due to different beliefs, values, opinions, and priorities. We need to listen to understand instead of listening to respond. In our culture, we are trained to listen to respond because if we don’t respond immediately we can be mocked for it. We’re not taught how to listen. Listening is half of communication. Relationship researchers John and Julie Gottman have this term ‘share meaning’. Which means do you share the meaning your partner assigns to things. Do you share the same meaning about what a home means, what money means, what communication means? We have to get on the same page about what things mean in our lives. I heard John Walker speak at his Launch Con, a few years ago. And he said - “All problems boil down to a problem in communication.” What do you think? She agrees that most problems come down to communication and that we’re all afraid to ask for what we need. When Rachel was a teenager, her people-pleasing came from a fear of asking for what she needed because she didn’t want to be judged and she didn’t want to cause anybody discomfort. We have to ask for what we need because nobody is a mindreader. What is a practical strategy that you use for communication? Rachel and Kyle have scripts that they give out for different situations. You pick out a feeling and put it into a script. The scripts all follow the same process which is based on the acronym AEO which stands for Acknowledge, Explain, Offer. Acknowledge means just acknowledging what’s going on and bringing words to the elephant in the room. Explain is an I statement. We have to explain how we’re feeling and why. “I get angry when you don’t wash the dishes after you eat.” Offer is what is your proposed solution to this. “Hey, I know that last time we talked about this it kinda got out of hand. I don’t want that to happen this time. I feel angry when you don’t wash your dishes after you eat lunch. What I would like for you to do is either wash them or just soak them and leave them in the sink. How does that feel to you?” We’re often not taught these ways of communicating. It really takes mindful attention and practice. Sometimes we might be sloppy and come out with an accusation because we haven’t practiced this. It’s a muscle. This is where self-compassion comes in. We’re going to make mistakes and you can’t shame yourself for things you don’t know. It’s important to try this when you’re not in a reactive state. You can practice with things that are silly to get used to the flow of the formula. What is the question that you ask yourself often? How do I want to feel? What is the best advice you’ve ever been given? Follow what makes you feel good. If you can replace should with want, it’s a game changer.

I am super excited to share with you my key takeaways from LaunchCon event, you better get your pen and notebook ready :). Visit https://bit.ly/2GfcKBg for more freebies and shownotes
Every year Jeff Walker and his amazing team host an event called LaunchCon, and this year I got to attend it with my team. I credit Jeff Walker for teaching me so much about launches. We’re now at a point where we’ve done more than 15 multi-million dollar launches. With more than a decade of experience executing on high-level launches, I still love learning. Launches are changing and evolving all the time, and the types of launches that we do now are dramatically different than the launches that we used to do back then. In today's episode I want to recap some of the big takeaways and lessons that I took away from the event. Get Access to the Full Show Notes!

Today I’m sharing 3 Things I Learned from Jeff Walker at LaunchCon. I just returned from a week in Orlando where we held our ESP Certified Copywriter Workshop. (Link: www.rayedwards.com/espcc) Shortly thereafter, we attended LaunchCon with Jeff Walker. Click here to download or listen to this episode now. Spiritual Foundations Today’s Spiritual Foundation is about having faith and trusting God. How worried or stressed are you? How often do you have to remind yourself to trust God about these things? Do you let go of your worries and release them all to Him? Are you actually letting them go? In Mathew 21:22, Jesus said, “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” In Mark 11:24 He says, “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” So just let go, and let God Tip of The Week My tip of the week is the Canon 6D. It is an incredible camera. It has a full frame, super high resolution and gives you a much better picture. It is a great camera, but it is too heavy if you are carrying it around for the entire day, so what do I suggest? Even have a vlog, you don’t need a giant camera. You can still have excellent video and picture with a tiny camera like the Canon M50. This is a great camera, and your arm and neck will thank you for carrying this around instead. Feature Presentation 3 Things I Learned from Jeff Walker: We might want to explore being kinder to ourselves. What you believe about your capability is true. There is no time BUT the present. If you want to make a change, you have to do it now. If you are thinking about making a change, do it right now. In fact, do this exercise. Write down 5 things that you want. How many of those things are things that you already have? Now, write down 5 things that you want that you already have. Remember what Jesus said? “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” To change: Stop wanting and do it now.

Think about your income…how much do you make every month? Now think about your annual income. What if you could earn your ANNUAL income… next month? This is a typical occurrence for the people who use the technique I'm revealing in this week's episode. Click here to download or listen to this episode now. Spiritual Foundations A work ethic is defined as a system for determining your values and morals around the subject of work. While this may seem like a high-minded concept, what we believe about work matters. Keep in mind that work was not part of the curse, but instead was part of creation…remember, Abraham was both rich and righteous. In addition, the Apostle Paul also said that if you don’t work, you don’t eat. So how do we reconcile these things? Be sure to listen in as we reveal how work is not only ethical, but spiritual as well. Tip Of The Week I recently attended Jeff Walker’s LaunchCon conference where my friend Phil Sherwood remarked that you really need time to process everything you learn from a conference, seminar, or workshop. He’s right, and inside this edition of the tip of the week I reveal a surefire way to turn information into implementation. Feature Segment: How To Make Your Annual Income In A Single Month I know an entrepreneur whose sales averaged 50,000 per month, or $600,000 per year. This same entrepreneur, by using the technique discussed in this episode, made just over $600,000 in a single month. Catch that. In March he makes $50,000… in April he makes $600,000. How is this possible? It is legal? Is is sustainable? I have good news for you…it IS legal, and it IS sustainable. So… What IS the “secret”? It is the phenomena known as “The Product Launch.” These launches are wildly successful when done with intelligence, elegance, and work. In this episode I share the Seven Reasons You Must Do A Launch Now, and how to get started on your very own launch. How To Help Subscribe to the show through iTunes and give us a rating and review.
