Jeffrey Madoff03:13 - "The path along the way to business has become on one hand more democratized because there's not the barrier to entry in the same way they were.

What makes a difference is that you can always follow through on the trust you've established and deliver what you say you're going to deliver." - B. Jeffrey Madoff25:08 - "Stay curious and keep educating yourself because that's the best way to not only be fulfilled but to stay ahead of the curve and be equal to the challenges you have to face.

If you have a creative vision, how do you focus your skills on making it happen? Can you turn your dream into a career? How can we encourage more creative entrepreneurs? And can we incorporate more creativity into an analytical job? Jeff Madoff is an American director, producer, photographer, writer and professor living in New York City. He is the founder and CEO of Madoff Productions, winning awards for his commercials and videos AND he is a die hard music loving fan. In his upcoming production of The Lloyd Price Musical, Jeff learnt a valuable lesson of asking himself the question “is it essential?” Even work that is funny and engaging, may not be an essential part of the bigger story. “Is it essential?” is a challenging question for all of us but can be incredibly useful at keeping us focused on reaching our goals. In our discussion with Jeff, he dispels the myth that you are either creative or analytical. And he brings home to us the importance of listening. Listening not just to form an appropriate response, but listening in order to fully understand the other person.

Dave Lukas, The Misfit Entrepreneur_Breakthrough Entrepreneurship
This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Jeffrey Madoff. Jeff is the founder of Madoff Productions, based in New York City. His company collaborates with ad agencies, public relations firms and directly with clients to produce commercials, branded content and live streaming events. He began his career as a fashion designer and was chosen as one of the top 10 designers in the U.S. then switched careers to film and video production. You have seen his work and probably didn't even know it. Jeff and his team are the geniuses behind commercials, online content and brand stories for companies ranging from Victoria's Secret, Calvin Klien, and Ralph Lauren to Harvard University and private equity firms that position companies for sale or acquisition. Jeff is also the author of the best-seller, Creative Careers Making a Living With Your Ideas. And that is why I asked him to come on the show, not only the share his incredible wisdom gained during this storied career, but to discuss how to make a great living with your ideas. www.MadoffProductions.com www.CreativeCareers.com Jeff was born and raised in Akron, Ohio. He credits his resilience to growing up there. His parents were entrepreneurs that had retail stores in Akron. Jeff got the entrepreneurial spirit from his parents and so did his sister. It was what he knew, so he's never had a job. He went to the University of Wisconsin for college. Jeff shares a funny story of how he chose Wisconsin. He also made it on to the wrestling team. He got a double major in philosophy and psychology and Jeff said, “It set him up for no job whatsoever!” Getting the degrees did help him with critical thinking and an intellectual curiosity that are very important to success. He was working in a small boutique in Madison after graduating. A good friend of his called him up and had saved some money and wanted to put it to work. Jeff told him that he understood retail and could draw/design clothing, so he could start a clothing company. His friend sent him $2500 which was more money than Jeff had ever seen at any one time and he was off and running. He had no idea how to build the business but knew how to sell retail. He didn't know how clothing was manufactured, etc. He had a lot to learn in a little time. He was “ignorant, not stupid.” “Ignorant, you can learn, but stupid is forever.” What is the process you teach for turning an idea into a living? The book “Creative Careers: Making a Living with Your Ideas” is the same name as the course he teaches in NYC. Jeff learned when he started into business was that there are protocols to business and everything you learn informs everything else you do. For example, clothing started with a sketch. From there, it determines how much fabric is needed, the labor, the shipping, sale prices, profit margin, etc. The idea starts the ball rolling. Everything is unified with best practices, but many times they are siloed. They should not be…there is much more in common, than different from business to business. Much of the processes are the same to make an idea happen across different businesses. There are no magical secrets to success – there is a lot of work. More than anything, it takes perseverance. We cannot lose the patience for process because that is where real success comes from. After all of the work you did for the book and all of the people you interviewed for it, were there any constants that stood out across them that helped their success? They embody best practices. They show up and are present. The persevere and put in the work. They surround themselves with the good and right people to make the business go. They develop a sense of empathy in business to understand the other side in negotiation and building relationships. More than anything, they push through the difficult times and develop strategies to get over, around, and overcome the challenges that entrepreneurship inevitably brings. At the 18 min mark, we talk about the DCP formula and how Jeff has seen in his work. “The only way you get better at anything is to do it over and over again.” At the 20 min mark, Jeff shares some interesting thoughts on Apple vs. Sony. Apple has never originated a product. They copied and innovated. They sell their products not on what they do, but the experience it gives. They are truly unique. Jeff worked with Sony when they originated the Walkman and Sony was visionary in creating and whole new way of life when it came to music. Apple basically took the idea of the Walkman to create the Ipod. Same thing with the smartphone. Apple stood on the shoulders of the Palm Pilot and Blackberry creating a broad consumer market for the phone and increased their eco-system. What Apple did well was design something with great purpose and had the discipline to stick to their focus and product set and not get into businesses that are not really their business. Companies lose the ability to innovate because they spread themselves thin. Talk about the power of story when it comes to marketing and branding and how important it is. Basically, we communicate through story. It is how we retain information because you remember how a story made you feel. Stories are the way we bond with each other and it is how products are sold. Nike is a great example. “Just do it” is so simple, but means so much. Nike is about athletic excellence, but more the idea of it for clients. Ralph Lauren stands for status and good taste. At the 27 min mark, Jeff shares a story of a conversation with Ralph Lauren where he told him he was like Walt Disney. A brand is a story that is well told. One of the main criteria of a good story is there needs to be an outcome and they live happily ever after meaning the customer will be better off for it. Talk about the balance of emotion vs. logic and how it relates to business… The push and pull between emotion and logic is interesting. Most people think they make their decisions based on logic, but they don't. People are not nearly as logical as they think. There are 2 ways that decisions are made: Heuristics and Biases If you appeal to those things, you can lead people to make decisions. At the 31 min mark, Jeff shares a story of something a guest shared in his class when it comes to how we make decisions with an example of buying a bottle of wine. Most people pick in the middle of the range of wines for price because they don't want to buy the most expensive, but they don't want to buy the cheapest one. So, if you up the overall price of the selection of wine in a store, you will sell wine at higher prices. How do we make better decisions as consumers? Be informed. Educate yourself. Do your research and think about larger decisions before you make them. Find and use credible sources to help you. The difference between wander vs. wonder, explain that. Wandering makes you wonder. When you wander and take in your surroundings, it makes you wonder which leads to curiosity. Curiosity leads to asking better questions and leads to learning and better understanding. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask which leads to you having issues later on. Running your ideas like a business. Tell us about that. One of the most important things in business is “proof of concept” meaning someone is willing to pay for your product. You cannot be the only one in love with your idea. There has to be people willing to part with their hard-earned money to buy it. Ideas need to go through the proof-of-concept process. What has surprised you most in your entrepreneur journey? How there is so much more in common among different disciplines and people. There is a lot more in common than different. We have to be careful not to focus solely on the different. The essence of being an entrepreneur is bringing some kind of change by brining an idea to life. Best Quote: The only way you get better at anything is to do it over and over again. Jeff's Misfit 3: Persistence. Whatever you are pursuing, you will face inevitable difficulties and you must persist through them. Not being so enamored with your own idea that you cannot accept criticism and make it better. Don't become delusional. Stay curious. Curiosity is the fuel that makes you want to learn more and grow.

Hello beautiful people On today's podcast we have the curious Jeffrey Madoff. Jeffrey began his earlier years as a fashion designer, then turning to film and video production directing award winning commercials, documentaries and web content around the world for client's such as Ralph Lauren, Victoria's Secret and Tiffany. He is the author of the book, ‘Creative Careers: Making a Living With Your Ideas', which is based on the class he teaches at the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York. He is also a playwright and theatre producer. What I personally love about this conversation is Jeffrey's passion of placing attention on the false dichotomy between creativity and business. For me personally, and friends in my circle, some of us have found it difficult navigating the path between identifying as an artist, a creative, and that of an entrepreneur or establishing a career through your creative pursuit in some form. I find the topic very interesting between the practice of authenticity and marketing, and I pose these reflections to Jeffrey. He shares with us the importance of understanding what success personally means to you and how building a brand is a story well told. He shares a personal story of working in partnership with his dear friend Ralph Lauren and how showing your humanity is important both in business and life.As always, if you are enjoying this podcast, please rate, leave a review, I love reading your beautiful reviews, share with friends and family, particularly if you have creatives in your own life exploring the path of business, become part of the To Be Human Collective, and bring your creative heart and business mind into this conversation with the lovely Jeffrey Madoff.Connect with MeMindset Coaching | https://www.jennahlouise.com.auInstagram Personal | https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseConnect with JeffreyInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/acreativecareer Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/madoffproductions Website | https://www.acreativecareer.com

Jeffrey Madoff, founder of Madoff Productions, who collaborate with ad agencies, public relations firms and directly with clients to produce commercials, branded content and live streaming events, who's here to discuss the ways in which you can turn your ideas into your living, and how he achieved that very thing! KEY TAKEAWAYS Success is a matter of perspective. Only through experience do we come to realise what really matters, and how we should really define success. Successful people often carry a great deal of humility and credit luck as having facilitated their journey. But hard work is the foundation of every great success. Pioneers recognise the element of every business that's lacking, and take action. Even elements such as the customer experience, if developed and improved, can create a sea change. Those in the creative arts are never taken seriously, in that they are always asked what their back-up plan will be. This is unique to the creative sector. BEST MOMENTS 'The biggest value is placed on relationships, and the value and longevity of those relationships' 'The biggest difference between ignorance and stupidity is that ignorance you can learn and stupidity is forever' 'I saw all the different ways in which I could collaborate with people' 'What separated them from others was that there was something different about the way they did things' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up Your Business – scaleup.vip/podcast Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community Take the Six Peaks of Value Creation Scorecard, to measure your current business performance and show you where to focus to get to where you want to be: https://scaleup.vip/sixpeaks Madoff Productions - https://madoffproductions.com/madoff-productions-jeff-madoff-b-jeffrey-madoff/ B.

Jeffrey Madoff is todays guest on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots business podcast. He is the founder of Madoff Productions, based in New York City and is considered a storyteller and incisive interviewer. Now you may think that is a strange couple of facts to just throw into the introduction, but there is a reason for mentioning them. He has used those talents to help position major brands such as Ralph Lauren, Victoria's Secret, Radio City Music Hall, and the Harvard School for Public Health. But this is just a fraction of the dots that have joined up to where he is today. Jeff began his career as a fashion designer. He was chosen one of the top 10 designers in the U.S. then switched careers to film and video production. He has since expanded his reach to include teaching, book and playwriting, and theatrical producing. How The Dots Joined Up For Jeffrey Now the reason we wanted to have him on the show was to share his passion for teaching people how to make a living with their ideas. He believes that most of us have it in us to really change our futures and shine a light on ourselves simply by having more faith in our ideas. As he says “Most of us have had the feeling of ‘I could've done that,' whether at an art gallery, watching a performance, or finding a new product or even a new business idea. What's the difference between you and them? They actually did it. You didn't.” With his new book "Creative Careers, you will learn how to do it, too: use your creativity; have a sustainable, profitable career; and do what you love. Creative Careers pulls from interviews with more than forty experts–notable entrepreneurs, artists, and business leaders–as well as from Madoff's own decades of experience to supercharge your career. Creativity can often feel sporadic and unfocused, coming in bursts and peaks. That's why Madoff focuses your professional path by asking vital questions that will ultimately help you: Determine your value Be smart about your hustle Ruthlessly edit down your creative projects Overcome fear and doubt Create a successful, long-lasting career on your own terms Well there is a hell of a lot that we can talk about today, so can an idea quite simply be mad, or is everyone worth looking at and digesting? And where does he see the biggest issue with todays entrepreneurs, who seem to have 100% attention deficit when getting the creativity to start flowing? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to join up dots with the one and only Jeffrey Madoff
This interview was like a masterclass on branding, how to make a living with your ideas, and creating success on your terms.

The definition of creativity is traditionally based in the arts, but if you're an entrepreneur, you know it takes a creative mind to turn an idea into a business. It's important not to limit yourself by believing you can only be right-brained or left-brained, as this isn't always the case. You can be both analytical and artistic, creative and methodical. Creativity is problem solving, it's making something from nothing and if you have started your own business, you've already done just that. Try to maintain a constant state of learning and curiosity. Exposing yourself to a variety of people and ideas is a great way to stimulate your creativity. Go to conferences and lectures to educate yourself, go to plays and concerts and visit museums to be inspired and find new ways of doing things. To dive deeper into how to turn an idea into a successful business - I've brought on director, photographer, writer, and professor Jeffrey Madoff. Jeffrey Madoff is the founder and CEO of Madoff Productions, a film production company based in New York City, whose clients include Victoria's Secret, Tiffany & Co., Revlon, and Ralph Lauren. Prior to his work in film production, Jeffrey was a fashion designer and named one of the top 10 designers in the United States. He authored an Amazon Bestseller, “Creative Careers: Making a Living with Your Ideas”, based on the class he developed and teaches at Parson's School of Design, in NYC.

And I know where you’re at. You’re working hard and qualified for what you do but you aren’t getting what you want. You have plans on getting to the C-suite or launching a business but ultimate success seems as far away today as ever. You’re in the right place because you can get there from here. And I can help. Who I Am I’m a speaker, coach, and former Division I All-American wrestler that helps motivated former athletes to reach their full potential by getting clarity on what they really want and taking aggressive action to lead their ideal life not just despite their prior failures but because of them. I’m a husband and father of four. And I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve launched multiple successful businesses as well as the obligatory failed one. I’ve been the executive director of a non-profit and have raised millions of dollars. I’ve worked in sales. I’ve even been a Division I head coach. While I was born in a blue-collar home I have spent my life surrounded by Olympians, CEOs, and millionaires. Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” I’ve been lucky. I’ve learned the habits of successful people and guess what. You’re just like them. I know because I know your type. You’re programmed for hard work, which is a prerequisite for success, but you’ve never been shown how to use what you know to create the life you want with the tools you have. I will show you how. Why You Are Here You've worked hard to achieve greatness. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track. You need to understand this: You are far more prepared to succeed than those who’ve not tried, competed, struggled, and overcome as you have. That’s the value of your education as someone who aims high. You are prepared to be as successful as your wildest dreams will allow. Here I will teach you, with the help of brilliant minds that have been shaped by failure, struggle, and adversity, to be who you want to be. I sense that you want this because you have read this far.

What if someone told you there were no right or wrong answers, only right questions? We are often trying to chase the “right answer” without defining what the right answer is. Without setting that fundamental definition of success, we will continue chasing a vague idea that doesn’t look like much of anything. This is why we need to ask ourselves the right questions, the questions that ultimately lead us in the right directions. “What are you doing?” “Why do you want certain things?” These questions allow us to be introspective and the answers to these questions can change, allowing us to grow in different directions. Today’s guest, Jeff Madoff is founder and CEO of Madoff Productions. He is an American director, photographer, writer and professor living in New York City . His film and video work include commercials, web content, music videos and documentaries for various clients such as Ralph Lauren and Victoria’s Secret. Madoff teaches a course, Creative Careers: Making a Living with your Ideas, at Parsons The New School for Design. Jeff talks about the importance of knowing your goals, never doubting your ability, and always pushing back the fear of failure in order to continue forward toward your goals.
