Send us a textThis week, I sit down with Ray Ahn, founding member and bassist of the iconic Aussie band Hard-Ons. From their early days tearing up Sydney's underground scene to their lasting impact on alternative and skate culture, Ray shares stories from the road, reflections on identity and art, and the resilience it takes to stay true to your craft for over four decades.We talk about the band's bold decision to bring Tim Rogers on as lead vocalist, life lessons learned along the way, and why Hard-Ons' music has always been a perfect match for skateboarding and DIY culture. Recorded on location at their Marrickville studio, Ray told me, "This will be the last podcast I ever do." I hope not—he's a kind, humble, and one-of-a-kind human with a deep well of wisdom to share.Enjoy,ShanSupport the show (Click on the links):FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE SHOW in exchange, I will get the HIGHEST CALIBRE guests MORE OFTEN.

Send us a textI dive into the complex world of narcissism—what it really is, how it shows up in ourselves, and the impact it has on mental health and relationships. From grandiosity to fragile egos, we explore the fine line between confidence and insecurity, drawing on insights from psychology, personal experience, and phone calls with past guests; Roy Molloy, Scott Spring, Steve Tierney and James McMillan.

Send us a textThis week, we hangout with Jorge Tichbon — aka Swellbows — to talk slams, soundtracks, digital animation, and the originality he brings to a genre of skateboarding that may lack it at times. From early days goon-bagging around the skate parks of the Gold Coast to the years he spent living in Texas USA, Jorge breaks down the injuries that earned him his nickname, the mental grind of bouncing back, and the constant stream of creativity flowing through him. We get into skate crews, DIY culture, and how music and skating have always been two sides of the same coin. If you know, you know. Stories, laughs, and pure love for the scene, this is Swellbows (with a hang-over).ShanWATCH: Swellbows mic'ed up skating Bar Beach bowlSupport the show and get discounts (Click on the links):FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE SHOW in exchange, I will get the HIGHEST CALIBRE guests MORE OFTEN.

Send us a textScott Spring has done more than just leave his mark on skateboarding — he's built ramps, parks, homes, and a deeper understanding of himself along the way. In this episode, Scott opens up about his mental health journey, including how coming to terms with his neurodiversity helped him shift his mindset and find balance. We talk about building Fairfield mini ramp with Adam Luxford and Spittle, building eco-houses with purpose, and how skateboarding has always been a tool for connection, healing, and growth.

From The Vault:Private Investigators and Dealmakers are Teaming up More Often than Ever!We covered an unusual topic in this episode, that we learned wasn't so unusual afterall. Private investigations within the M&A space. As buyers and sellers become more leary of the trustworthiness between them during dealmaking, the advisory team is completing the circle of trust by having what they disclose verified. Our guest today is Tom Jaeb, Founder and Managing Director of JR Risk Advisors. Tom's background in private investigations goes back to working with his brother's PI firm in 1993. When that firm sold, he and his brother took a year off to honor the Non Compete and then launched J2 Risk Advisors. This time around, their sole focus is on M&A transactions, being hired by PE firms, Investment Bankers, and others in the Dealmaking space. They verify all kinds of information that has been disclosed, and watch for red flags in areas that could be missed by the untrained eye.You'd think that a credit report, courthouse search, and online search would bring up enough to make a case for or against a deal going through, but J2 digs deeper. They conduct research that examines the Press, Social Media, College Degrees, and other background sources as well.Tom says that most deals are free of 'red flag' items that would derail a transaction. However, he said that each search uncovers things that weren't necessarily discussed or disclosed, simply because the buyer or seller didn't think it was relevant. Say for instance a lawsuit settlement that the company was a party to 10 years ago. The key to deciding whether research and analysis are necessary is to determine if there are patterns of behavior or isolated incidents. When it's a pattern, it's a red flag, but if it's something that happened once many years ago, they're not going to be as concerned.Tom shared some intriguing client stories that you will find surprising! He said that Private Investigations during the dealmaking stages are more common than you think. The point about trustworthiness can be carried over from little things to big things; it's then up to the buyer or seller to decide whether to move forward.Listen to the episode here!Connect with Julie Keyes, Keyestrategies LLCFounder, Consultant, Author, Pod-caster and Instructor

In the second episode of the Business Operating Systems series, host Charlie Malouf continues his conversation with Carl Hillesland and Stacey McCormick. Carl and Stacey reveal the origin story of Mr. Mo ("More Right, More Often"), the Retail Performance team's customized Operating System built on the chassis of EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System). Not only is "MR MO" an acronym for More Right More Often, the "MO" denotes shorthand for "Momentum" as Mr. Mo provides a catalyst for achieving Momentum. Mr. Mo is not pure EOS as it integrates elements that are specific to the Retail Performance team and to Broad River. Carl and Stacey unpack the ways that Mr. Mo is different from EOS and how they have really tailored Mr. Mo to the culture and purpose within Broad River Retail. In sharing about previous attempts to launch a business operating system within Broad River Retail, Charlie jokingly shares the name of the Operations Department's acronym for their attempted Operating System from several years ago that they infamously named BROS (Broad River Operating System). Carl and Stacey discuss their recollections from the launch date of Mr. Mo on October 26, 2021, and the chaos that ensued on that particular day. They examine how the team had to shift from a top-down "download culture" to a more empowering "bottoms up culture." They discuss overcoming resistance to change, building trust, and fostering peer-to-peer accountability. They discuss the steps taken to go from ideation to the launch of Mr. Mo. Charlie also asks Carl and Stacey to share what they got right with the introduction of Mr. Mo as well as what they got wrong and would have done differently with the benefit of hindsight. The episode reflects on the implementation challenges and successes with a candid acknowledgment of the learning curve and the potential to have accelerated the process. Carl and Stacey share what each of them would have done differently in introducing and launching Mr. Mo to the Retail Performance department. They also share what advice they would offer to others who are attempting to launch an operating system within their company. A few takeaways and memorable statements from this episode: - It's not about perfection; it's about direction. - Assume positive intent. - Catch people doing things rights while having them trip over the truth. - Slow is smooth; smooth is speed.

Content Sells: Attract, Convert & Keep Your Ideal Clients with Content Marketing That Works
Today we're looking at something we see happen to a lot of business owners. Especially when you're moving into new territory. For example, if you've never done a webinar before, or you've never paid for traffic before, or you're launching a new product or service that's different to what you've done before. And that is to OVER think and UNDER do! This approach comes with plenty of perils… Because new territory, while full of potential and opportunity, can also become a big hole we get stuck in when we OVERTHINK things to the point where we aren't taking enough ACTION. Feeling like we have to “know more” or “have more planned out” or “get things perfect” before we start, can put us in a loop of procrastination and second guessing that can lead us to doing more work than we need to, delaying getting the results we want and, in many case, even prevent us from getting the results we want. In this episode, your hosts, Suzi Dafnis and Michelle Falzon share their top tips for getting out of “analysis paralysis” and shifting into a more action oriented approach. Listen to this episode to hear more about: -> Our top 3 tips for escaping the overthinking / undergoing trap and reaching your business goals sooner and with less stress. -> How to balance “being strategic” with “getting stuff done!” -> How to tell when you're obsessing over details that don't matter. -> The glorious benefits of taking imperfect action. -> Why thinking you need to “learn more” can sometimes work against you. -> The benefits of knowing “just enough to be dangerous!” -> What a teenage garage band can teach you about escaping overthinking and undergoing! -> When to seek advice (and when not to!). -> How to take bigger action than you might feel comfortable with (and why it's so crucial!). -> Why you need to take action much EARLIER than you might think and MORE OFTEN than you think. -> And much more!

What's a Runoff Election and Why Don't We Hear About it More Often?Today's LinksArticles & Resources:BallotPedia - Runoff electionsBallotPedia - United States Senate election in Georgia, 2022 (December 6 runoff)BallotPedia - Louisiana majority-vote systemFox 5 Atlanta - Which counties offer Saturday early voting in Georgia runoff election for US Senate?WAFB Baton Rouge - Early voting underway for Dec. 10 election; Here's what you need to knowToday's Script: (Variations occur with audio due to editing for time)You're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.November 26th, early voting began for the highly-anticipated December 6th run-off election between sitting U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock and football star & businessman Hershel Walker. But what is a “runoff,” and why don't we hear about it very often?Only two states have rules which require a “majority” vote to win, vs. a “plurality”: Georgia and Louisiana. In Georgia, a 50% majority is required for congressional, state executive, and state legislative elections. Senator Warnock received 49.4% of the vote to Walker's 48.5%. Libertarian Chase Oliver won 2.1%. Because no candidate reached 50% plus 1 vote, a runoff is required on December 6th.In Louisiana, runoffs are required in local elections too, when a 50% + 1 majority is not reached. Louisiana also uses an “open primary” system, where candidates of any party run on one ballot in the primary, and with the top two candidates advancing to the runoff if no candidate receives a majority. Because incumbent U.S. Senator John Kennedy garnered 61.6% of the vote over 12 other challengers in the primary, he won outright on November 8th. December 10th, voters decide on several judicial and city council races, and three ballot initiatives, which weren't decided November 8th.We'll have more tomorrow on how runoffs also play a role in the party nomination process in some states.

“Brand love, in essence is all about creating those emotional connections that transcend your basic product offering.” Anne Candido Until the world is run by robots, there will always be a person on the other side of the sale. Which means a brand's ability to transform life in order to create an authentic relationship that they alone own will continue to be paramount for growth. This, according to our guest today, Anne Candido, is Brand-Love, and it helps companies create tangible value that makes customers stick with them. Anne grew up at P&G - but don't let that fool you - her path was anything but traditional. She spent her first decade in R&D and Product Development and her second in Brand Marketing and Communications. Through this, Anne learned (sometimes the hard way) the imperative role brand building plays to cultivate successful individuals and businesses. Anne's mission is to help all businesses and the individuals within them realize their Brand-Love potential. Because it doesn't matter the size of your business, how long you have been around, the number of people you have or the amount of money you make, forming Brand-Love connections is possible and should be a focus at EVERY STEP on the business journey. It is how commodities become brands and brands become franchises. Media Handles https://www.forthright-people.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-candido-5156929/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/forthright-people/ https://www.instagram.com/forthrightpeople/?igshid=YzAyZWRlMzg%3D https://www.facebook.com/forthrightpeople.marketingagency/ Podcast Link: https://www.forthright-people.com/podcast Book: The Super- Highway of Relevancy: Getting More People to Choose Your Brand, More Often, Indefinitely As I progressed through my career, I decided I wanted to get close to the decision making process, which led me into brand communications and marketing. I got my education on branding and marketing through a lot of experience and understanding how everything works. The idea of brand love is a fundamental way to really grow brands. You have to build an emotional connection to your brand in different ways, in order to continue to grow your brand. What we now do as part of forthright people, is to help small and medium sized businesses understand what their potential is in order to scale and grow their business and brands. Branding and marketing is about consistency and a philosophy which is about putting brand first, thinking about your business from a standpoint of it being a tangible thing. When your brand has life, it starts to take on these emotional connections with people and helps it to mean something to people beyond just the thing that you're selling. The thing that you're actually selling is an emotional connection that people are going to take away from the experience that they're having either through your product, service or through you. We see our personal brand in three different ways which include your characteristics, your appearance, and your behaviors and actions. Making that switch of cultivating your personal brand outside your corporate environment, is the biggest transition you're going to have to make as an entrepreneur. You have to put yourself in the perception and mindset of other people that are going to be a potential targets and start to re-calibrate based on that. Commercial Break Brand love, in essence is all about creating those emotional connections that transcend your basic product offering. It's those emotional connections that create that tangible value, which without it, you're basically just a commodity competing on price. A brand answers three questions including; who am I? how am I different? and why do you want me? What we really appreciate about human interaction and human relationship, and what we believe is fundamentally needed in marketing and branding is the truth. Our whole way, our brand character, the way that we behave, and the way that we interact with others is to always be forthright, but respectful. A lot of times we develop the product that we want, and then try to make it fit somewhere versus thinking about it from the lens of who we actually want to like us. Embrace the fact that your stories and your personal brand are unique. ……………………………………………………………………………………………….

John talks to Ray Edwards — communication strategist, copywriter, author of two Amazon best sellers, How to Write Copy That Sells: The Step-By-Step System for More Sales to More Customers, More Often and Permission to Prosper: How to be Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams, host of the top-rated podcast The Ray Edwards Show, husband, and dad. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:54] - Welcome notes and introduction of Ray Edwards [04:28] - Ray's journey into copywriting [07:50] - The key to establishing a successful long-term business [09:00] - Ray's copywriting agency [11:48] - The importance of copywriting and persuasiveness [14:03] - The need to learn to effectively communicate [20:09] - Ray's book Permission to Prosper [23:39] - Habit essential for entrepreneurs [26:18] - Books Ray is reading NOTABLE QUOTES: "We don't let people know enough how much of a delight they are in our lives and how much a gift they are." "Be sure to let people know how you feel about them. Because far too many times, we let those moments escape, and we can never get them back." "Half the problems that we face as a society, as a human race, spring out of our inability to effectively manage the relationships of marriage and parenting. And if we could fill our responsibilities in those areas, so many of the other problems in the world would just vanish." "I don't believe business is cutthroat. If you're building a successful business long-term and not helping people, you're not going to have a long-term business. It's gonna fall apart. You can fool people for a while, but if you want a long-term business, the only way you survive is to provide valuable products and services for people they know they can count on." "Communication is the currency of life of being in interaction with other human beings. You have to be able to communicate with them." "Just because you have a message doesn't mean you know how to say it well." "What one man can do, another man can do." "Building skill and honing a craft has much more long-term payoff than just leaning back, relying on your gift to wing your way through life."

In today's episode, we cover breaking the ice with AJ, Johnny, and Michael Herold. Why is breaking the ice an important skill, what impact does it have on your health, and what strategies can you use to make breaking the ice easy and effective? What to Listen For Breaking the ice and your health – 0:00 Why should we be engaging in more small talk and why is it dangerous to our mental and physical health to spend too much time alone? What is the first obvious signal that loneliness is your new normal and what can you do to break out of that cycle? Make small talk more effective – 20:18 Why are witty one-liners ineffective at breaking the ice and what should you say instead? What questions should you avoid when meeting someone for the first time, and what questions should you ask instead? What is the easiest way to revive a conversation if you feel like it's dying or getting awkward? Break the ice MORE OFTEN! – 30:58 How should we be looking at breaking the ice and small talk if we want more opportunities, more friends, and a more fulfilling life? How do you break the ice with someone wearing headphones? Why is making small talk important if you have goals and dreams you want to accomplish in life? It's easy for us introverts to dismiss small talk and interactions with strangers as a waste of time. What's the point, right? The problem with this mentality is that it ignores our human nature. We are social creatures, and as social creatures our mental and physical health will suffer if we are isolated from our tribe. That is one reason being exiled from the tribe used to be the ultimate punishment as life without the support of your fellow tribesmen surely meant death in the wild.

More Often, we focus on the main characters that played major roles hence forgetting about the ones who also played important roles backstage. What of the antagonists and rivals who stood against these great men? Ain't they also heroes? Maybe not, but these stories will be incomplete without them. So the season two of this podcast, I'll love to focus less on the main characters and more on these unseen heroes we never mention or historians forgot to write about.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/martins-napoleon/message This is a public episode.

Wrists – praying stretch, self-massage – squeeze the toothpaste tube https://www.healthline.com/health/chronic-pain/wrist-and-hand-stretches 2. Neck – look up, down, side to side, ear to shoulder with opposite arm extended out to side3. Upper back – twist from waist hold onto back of your chair 4. Feet – roll out on tennis ball or broom handle, sitting, or standing for more pressure 5. Balance – stand on one leg, try it with your eyes closed 6. Body scan – notice what feels good as well as not so good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNfv4UDBk6w 7. Squats (start with sitting down on a chair then getting back up without using your hands for help) go for 10 reps – leg muscle strengthener, core strengthener – protects joints, knees, increases ankle mobility, leg muscles are key to good mobility and everyday movements, also helps to maintain good posture 8. Legs up the wall – takes pressure off feet and veins in legs, drains fluids, also acts as a leg stretch Other advice from Emma: - Carrying something heavy in each hand around the house/studio, called a farmers carry – good for grip strength and overall strength! - For those who enjoy running, joining a Parkrun - gamifies exercise, get milestone t-shirts, be part of a community, volunteering opportunities: https://www.parkrun.com/ - Hand eye body – coordination exercises: https://www.handeyebody.com/ - Walking barefoot, standing barefoot outside - Change up your routine – the brain likes novelty! - Breathing out slowly – calms the nervous system Emma recommends following: - Jenni Rawlings: https://www.instagram.com/jenni_rawlings/ - Lara Heiman LYT Yoga: https://www.instagram.com/lara.heimann/ - Hand Eye Body: https://www.instagram.com/handeyebody/ - FinolaPhysio: https://www.instagram.com/finolaphysio/ Support us on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/thecword Hosted by Jenny Mathiasson, Kloe Rumsey, and Emma Le Cornu.

Most consumers now have access to a massive amount of knowledge about a brand's products and services. And consumer buying behavior is constantly evolving. So instead of just relying on your sales or marketing team to prepare elaborate marketing strategies, there are simple things you can do to boost your sales. But first, you have to understand the purpose of marketing and remember that there's nothing wrong with selling. People like to buy things that are good for them. So you should not be ashamed to sell, especially if you're sure that your product is what people need. In today's episode, Sharran talks about a different perspective of marketing summarized in the form of four questions. Tune in to find out how answering these questions can shift your thinking and help you sell more things to more people more often for more money. “Selling is just an invitation for people to do something with you that is good for them.” - Sharran Srivatsaa Timestamps: 00:00 A different perspective on how you look at marketing 02:20 Taking away the stigma from selling 05:35 The less friction, the better 07:25 How do I sell MORE THINGS 12:31 How do I sell to MORE PEOPLE 14:43 How do I sell MORE OFTEN 17:50 You don't have to sell every day, but you should show up every day 22:41 How do I sell for MORE MONEY 30:54 If you don't make money, you can't sustain the message Resources: - https://sharran.com/4weekmba/ (Grab Sharran's 4-Week MBA for Free) Connect with Sharran: - https://www.sharran.com/ (Website) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharran/ (LinkedIn) - https://www.facebook.com/likesharran (Facebook) - https://www.instagram.com/sharransrivatsaa/ (Instagram)

Hey you beautiful human you.I keep having this recurring daydream….I dream about what I would do if I woke up one week before Covid hit… with ALL of my knowledge from right now….It’s a strange fantasy where I SHORT the stock market on the perfect day before it crashes, and then immediately dump ALL of those winnings into Tesla or Bitcoin and become a Billionaire in a matter of months… :-)For some reason it’s so fun for me to think about…But then I realized something PROFOUND….Life is actually kind of like that dream scenario.Sure, we can’t know the future. But I think we can all agree that certain DECISIONS hold MUCH MORE WEIGHT than others, no?I mean it’s not even debate-able at this point…If you would have made a simple decision to invest in Tesla or Bitcoin back in March 2020, you would be quite wealthy right now.That one decision would have probably had more weight than everything else you did in 2020, right?Let me prove it to you.Let’s say you had 100k to invest. Bitcoin briefly hit $4,000 in March 2020.If you would have dumped ALL of it into Bitcoin, you’d have 25 Bitcoin. Today, with Bitcoin at $54,000, you would have $1,350,000.Be honest, would you have actually made $1,350,000 in 2020 in any other way, no matter how hard you tried?For most people, the answer would be no.Obviously, I’m not trying to shame anyone for not jumping in Bitcoin at 4k.Honestly, I wish I would have jumped in 10 years ago when it was like 1 cent! Haha.What I’m trying to illustrate is what I KEEP SAYING in this letter OVER AND OVER, that life is governed by the power rule, 1% of your decisions result in 99% of your important outcomes. And today, I want you to think about this in terms of acquiring KNOWLEDGE that allows you to make 1% decisions MORE OFTEN. If we can agree on these two things.1) Not all decisions are created equal2) Certain people PUSH us to make better decisions….It only follows that one of the most PRODUCTIVE things we can do, is seek WISE COUNSEL from other people.Proverbs 12:15 ESV / The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.This week, my business partner Taylor and I paid someone $25,000 for 4 hours of their time.Now, you may think that that is crazy, a waste of money, simply from the price tag. But I want to tell you something really important.99% of my success in life is the result of .001% of interactions that allowed me to see the world in a certain way and make better decisions. Obviously I haven’t “made it” or anywhere close.But I think people more successful than me would agree that ONE precious piece of advice is worth many millions of dollars, LITERALLY. There have been numerous examples for me where this is the case, that have generated multi-millions in sales…Specific Guidance on the format of Video Advertising (Attention Grabber, Hook, Breaking Down False Beliefs, Call to Action) Literally ONE element of ONE webpage (it’s honestly so powerful and patented that I can’t give any more detail than that haha)ONE livestream launching ONE recurring revenue productI could list out 20 more but you get the idea.Had these people not been in my life, and given me the IDEAS, everything would be different. So, to summarize, here’s what I would suggest if you want to be the most successful, the fastest. 1) Admit that you don’t know everything. Assume you know nothing, actually. 2) Find the person who is the BEST at what they do. You are not looking for the 99%, you are looking for the 1%. 3) Find a way to learn from that person. Pay up if you have to. But actually learn. Take notes. 4) Actually IMPLEMENT what you learn. Unfortunately, money doesn’t grow on trees and great ideas are just ideas until you implement them. ———I hope this helped a few of you, I know it’s probably advice you’ve heard before “get a mentor” blah blah blah…But I think the key here is understanding that not all mentors are created equal, and neither is all advice. I know too many people who are beating themselves up, working their butts off, trying to do things that they have no business doing. That’s great, I admire the hustle. But I’d encourage you to get actionable advice from someone who’s done it before, it’s insanely valuable, kind of like seeing into the future, or going back in time armed with the knowledge of the future…. Kalep.s. if I’ve helped YOU in any way, maybe I’m some of that “wise counsel?” :-) if so, and you aren’t already, consider trying out my 30 day trial of this letter, it’s 100% free and no risk to you.

Focusing on your brand in order to build or maintain a successful business is more important now than ever. And we have unfortunately seen too many companies short change their brand given current business climates. So many excuses exist out there: 1) You will worry about brand later. 2) Brand is only for products. 3) It is what big businesses do. 4) It costs too much money. 5) To be clear, this is NOT the way to go about building or maintaining a successful business. In this episode, we will speak to the differentiation that a strong brand can bring and how it is tied to business results. We will also discuss Peloton, and the impact a powerfully brand-led business has transformed a commoditized market and beat out competitors while broadening their audience reach on a regular basis.
