Hey everyone Sheevaun Moran here Driving for Your Success and did you know that I was a coder when I was 14 and up until I graduated high school? And the fascinating thing about that is I was getting in trouble and I was a little bored in school so my mom put me in coding school and I think it has helped me formulate ways and methodologies to help entrepreneurs and small business owners and people who have ideas or people who just want to break through I think it's really helped me tremendously be very organized and really take next steps to achieving the obstacle realization and shifting and transformation that my clients need but today's topic is about AI and is it a miracle or is it Mischief or is it going to cause Mayhem and the thing that I learned when I was a coder first thing I learned is garbage in garbage out whatever you put in you will get out of it so if you don't know what to ask or how to ask it or how to get a result in a formulaic manner you're going to have a lot of iterations you're going to try a lot of things same thing with training AI there's a lot of garbage out there and as the Neil Patel says he says that Google reports that most content out there is more than duplicated and I think that we have an opportunity to look at AI as an opportunity to take what we do and how we do it and really create that unique thing that we're already doing it's going to help us get there faster rather than trying to figure out what post you need to make or what post you can make you're going to possibly you know type in some requests and hopefully you're going to customize that to you your voice your energy your message Etc and is it going to cause Mischief of course anything that we don't understand can cause mischief and there are always people uh in the good and then the not so good you know laws were created for the people who you know are not so good and have done things to need a law and is it going to create Mayhem it could create Mayhem however the best way to think about this is how do you think do you think more organized I bet you do you just believe that you are more of a chaotic thinker you have unorganized ways of dealing with things and so having been a coder when I was a teenager I've had to learn to take my creative self and my Wild Hair creative ideas and artists them into systems and that's what can be done with AI but again let's go back to garbage and garbage out same thing with you put garbage in your mouth you're going to get garbage out of your skin and it's not going to look good and you're not going to feel great and your joints are going to be achy and and so on and so forth same thing with AI you don't put good information in good queries in good understanding and formulas and and packets of information in than what you're going to get out is garbage now I have tried some AI things however I've put good information in order to get a result so how you think about AI is one other piece that you must consider if you're afraid of it that means that you're one maybe not going to use it two you're not going to use it well and three you're going to listen to somebody else that is going to inform an opinion for you rather than you creating your own and the other part about thinking about AI is you have the ability within yourself to transform and shift and this artificial meaning conglomeration information that can regurgitate something back to you okay you can bring something back to you so long as you think about things differently so long as you use your words differently so long as the energy with your words are more formed and you're trying to get something out for the better and the greater good so think about AI like this and let's clean up any fear where anxiety tension stress and really start putting good information and good questions rather than running around with fear because you know fear is the false evidence appearing real and we get to choose how we're going to move ahead I'm going to choose to use it in a more uplifting positive beneficial way to my clients my listeners my participants Etc so I cannot wait to hear from you what your thoughts are subscribe share comment and you can find out more cool stuff about all the things we're up to and how we help entrepreneurs business owners startups people who have ideas you want to get out and get their side hustle going in prospering my name is Sheevaun Moran go to SheevaunMoran.com Unleash Your Stuck Prosperity More Epic Tools: For more of these articles, rule breakers, energetic solutions or concepts, for more ease and grace in your life or business, connect with me at http://sheevaunmoran.com.

The India–Scotland Entrepreneurial Journey!  Today's guest is Nishant Sharma. the Indian-born, Edinburgh-based entrepreneur whose company blends Indian heritage with Scottish craftsmanship. Nishant's story is one of resilience, legacy and bold reinvention.After leaving a successful career in financial services, he set out to build a brand with long-term meaning. Inspired by his late grandmother — and a family history that traces back to his great-grandfather becoming a whisky distiller during the British Raj — he brought his Assam roots into the heart of Scotland's spirits industry. The journey, however, was anything but smooth. At one point, the business had just £25 in the bank with major bills due. The stress led to a near-fatal heart attack at just 35. He survived. Rebuilt. And came back stronger.  In this episode, we discuss building a global spirits brand against the odds. Operating in highly regulated markets; India's complicated relationship with alcohol, building a global brand. Great advice for first time founders. Why ignorance can be bliss; raising investment; and even how to drink it — ice or no ice? And finally… if India plays Scotland at cricket, who is he supporting?We also talk about:Growing up in India and moving to ScotlandFirst impressions of Scotland: cold, rainy… but kind peopleWorking as a waiter, dishwasher and cleaner in GlasgowThe family whisky connection during the British RajWhy he chose spiritsSpending 4 years perfecting the recipeCreating the world's first oolong white tea infused chai-spice spiritWhy 2021 failed… and why 2022 failed againbuilding without industry experienceBuilding a global premium brand in a crowded marketExpanding into India — why it's not for the faint-heartedThe aspirational Indian consumer marketLinkshttps://rutlandsquare.com/ Hosted And Produced by Neil Patel https://www.linkedin.com/today/author/neilpatel2 Enjoyed this episode?

Neil Patel is the co-founder of NP Digital, a New York Times bestselling author, and one of the most influential marketers in the world. Recognized by The Wall Street Journal as a top web influencer and named a Top 100 Entrepreneur by President Obama and the United Nations, Neil has spent decades building software companies, agencies, and media brands. In this episode, Neil shares how he made his first $20K/month at age 16, why he chose the “boring” agency path over venture-backed startups, and how founders can build real wealth without sacrificing their lives. On this episode we talk about: How Neil landed his first SEO clients as a teenager—and what sparked his entrepreneurial journey Why he believes agencies and “ugly businesses” are often better opportunities than flashy startups The real reason most founders fail (and why 10-year thinking changes everything) How lifestyle creep quietly kills financial freedom Where opportunity still exists for new entrepreneurs in an AI-driven world Why patience, persistence, and passion matter more than any single tactic Top 3 Takeaways There's money in almost every industry—the key is finding something you enjoy enough to stick with for a decade. You don't need venture capital or billion-dollar exits to win; profitable, bootstrapped businesses often create more freedom and wealth. Controlling lifestyle creep preserves optionality—real success comes from building a life you don't want to escape from. Notable Quotes “There's money in boring businesses—sometimes that's where the biggest opportunities live.” “If you think in 10-year timelines instead of 12-month timelines, everything changes.” “It's not worth making millions if you're miserable, unhealthy, and disconnected from the people you love.” Connect with Neil Patel: Website / Agency: https://npdigital.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/neilpatel LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilkpatel/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neilpatel/ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Most B2B SaaS startups waste their Google Ads budget on broad keywords and homepage traffic without a plan in place. I'll show you exactly how to deploy Google Ads strategically on a low budget by focusing on infrastructure-first deployment that actually drives results.This systematic approach has helped clients generate significant revenue by focusing small budgets on high-intent keywords with the proper infrastructure in place.

Today, Neil breaks down the money lessons he learned once he made it big. He shares why he still drives a minivan despite being able to afford something bougie, the unusual way he teaches his kids about taxes, and the important distinction he makes between success and wealth.

If you're mapping out your funnel for the year and keep going back and forth between a lead magnet or a low ticket offer, this one is for you. Because the answer is not what Instagram makes it sound like, and it is definitely not one size fits all.In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a real Mastermind conversation where we unpacked what an evergreen funnel actually needs to do its job. Not look good. Not feel trendy. But work. Especially if you are planning for 2026 and want a sales strategy that does not rely on you being online 24 seven.We talk about why low ticket offers are not designed to make you money upfront, what they are actually meant to do in your business, and why counting on them for revenue is where so many people go wrong. I also break down the myth of the so called freebie seeker and why this is a messaging issue, not a lead magnet issue.You'll hear exactly what to consider when choosing between a free lead magnet, a low ticket offer, or a hybrid approach like a tripwire. We cover customer journey, belief shifts, ad spend, nervous system capacity, data tracking, and the real complexity that comes with paid funnels that nobody warns you about.If you want a clear, grounded way to think about funnels, ads, and sales forecasting without shiny object syndrome, this episode will give you that clarity.And if you're listening thinking, I want someone to help me map this properly instead of guessing, this is exactly the work we do inside the Peace and Profit Mastermind.Resources mentioned:Peace and Profit Mastermind waitlist (priority access for 2026)Neil Patel purchase intent pricing graphic (referenced in episode)I'll see you next week.Click HERE to follow me on InstagramClick HERE to apply for the Peace and Profit Mastermind

Recorded live at SocialWest 2025 at the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre, this episode features a conversation with Neil Patel, New York Times bestselling author and co-founder of NP Digital, hosted by Meredith McKeough. Neil unpacks how search has shifted in 2025 from traditional Google-first SEO to what he calls “search everywhere optimization,” where brands need to show up across platforms and AI tools alike. He shares practical advice on staying visible today, why content needs to be more conversational, and what marketers should prioritize as the landscape keeps changing. They also touch on how NP Digital expanded by listening closely to customer needs, what Neil is betting on next in an AI-first world, and wrap with a quick set of rapid-fire questions, including his favourite thing about Canada and what's still on his travel bucket list. 

Send us a textWhat if the real key to explosive growth was not a viral hack or a new ad strategy, but a relentless commitment to improving just one percent every day? In this powerful conversation, Dionne Malush sits down with e-commerce growth strategist Sabir Semerkant, the creator of the Rapid Two X system that has helped over 150 brands scale with precision, including Canon, Tommy Hilfiger, and Sour Patch Kids. With over one billion dollars in generated revenue and endorsements from leaders like Gary Vee and Neil Patel, Savir shares the raw truth about what actually drives sustainable growth in today's economy.Together, they break down why most businesses fail at the foundation level, how ego quietly destroys profitability, and why data must always lead emotion in decision-making. Savir reveals his sprint-based scaling framework, the danger of founders being emotionally attached to marketing, the massive losses caused by poor systems, and how simple daily improvements can compound into life-changing results. This episode is a wake-up call for entrepreneurs who are tired of guessing and ready to build businesses that last.Connect with Sabir here:GET YOUR SPECIAL OFFER HERE: https://growthbysabir.com/shineonWebsite: https://growthbysabir.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growthbysabir/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growthbysabir/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabirsemerkant/Support the showConnect with Dionne Malush Instagram: @dionnerealtyonepgh LinkedIN: /in/dionnemalush Website: www.dionnemalush.com Facebook: /dmalush LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/dionnemalush
