For those who enjoy action and adventure in a military setting, they will adore this book.

Set in the 1970s, on one side of the world, Tommy, a man seeking vengeance for his father's murder; on the other side, Makena, a woman seeking to stop the slavery of her people. We'll find out how their worlds collide in The Living Legend. “My books tend to have a military/law enforcement flavor because they deal with issues like modern day human trafficking, organized crime, high-sea drug smuggling, historical piracy, and slave trading,” says Hendrickson. “This one takes place when the Navy SEAL program was launched and the mission is to go after a Russian assassin.” This is an awesome read!

Start Here. TRANSCRIPTIONGEORGE: Hey, it's George Fourie. Welcome to the Martial Arts Media™ Business podcast. In today's episode, we're back with interviews and I'm really, really excited to have a repeat guest with us, Sean Allen from Margaret River Martial Arts. So Sean and I connected way back on episode number 8. I had a look yesterday when we did the recording, it was just over six years ago that we had our first chat. First up, it was great to chat and tap into a different insight that Sean Allen delivers. Sean does a bit of a contrast of what we speak about, which is how to do marketing, online marketing, attract the right students, increase signups, and so forth. Sean does no marketing and his school is at capacity with a one-year waiting list. So we might say there's no marketing in there, but there's obviously a lot in there to generate that type of demand.And I really wanted to chat with Sean about having this lifestyle martial arts business, his choice of where he relocated to which is just in Australia. Margaret River is like the surf Mecca of Australia of the world, you'll hear that from the Margaret River Pro. And Sean decided to relocate there and really build this lifestyle martial arts business that serves his lifestyle. But we took a strong turn in the episode and spoke about teachable moments in martial arts instruction. There's some real, real value in there for you as a martial arts school owner and instructor. So buckle up, this is a great episode. Jump in all the show notes are on martialartsmedia.com/135. So you can go there and download the transcript of this episode. And if you've got some value out of this, please share it with someone that you feel... Share it with an instructor that would get some great value from this. All right, that's it for me. Let's jump in.Hey Sean, welcome back!SEAN: Thank you very much, George.GEORGE: The last time we spoke on podcast 8, I was just looking back a few minutes ago and exactly a few days past six years ago that we actually spoke, episode 8.SEAN: Lot's have changed.GEORGE: All right, and so let's jump into that. I wanted to have you back just to have a chat of those changes and a few things that we do differently now. So I'm going to kick it off with the question that I like to ask. What's been your best marketing strategy since we've spoken or just in general that generates the most students for you?

Most people think that when a prospect is looking for a Martial Arts School the first place they go is to Google. And while Google is usually where prospects will go when they have an intent and are looking for a school - it's not the FIRST place they go.So if Google isn't the first place they go to, what is the platform they go to first and how can you get on it?The first place people go isn't actually google - it's their Mental Rolodex.Think about your own buying habits. Let's say that you are looking for a new car. Where are the dealerships you are going to go to first? Probably the ones that you know! How do you know them? Because you've heard from friends that they got a great deal there, you drive by it on your daily commute, you saw their billboard, you see their bumper stickers and license plate frames on new cars.You know them because they have made a commitment to being the best known in your area. People go to Google after they go to their mental Rolodex.And the only way you are going to get into people's mental Rolodex is by 1 - offering a great service and 2 - being omnipresent on all of the marketing channels.Best known beats best.
