More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music

Don't forget to download the Episode Guide for THIS episode. Download it for free to interact with Scripture for yourself. Have you ever loved a song and found that learning its story made it even more meaningful? That happened to me this week. I was inspired to study Psalm 34 after listening to "Trust In God" by Elevation Worship. Only the story behind the song that I studied isn't the story behind "Trust in God." It's the story behind David's song in Psalm 34. Join me as we read and meditate on Psalm 34 and watch it come to life while studying the "story behind the song." In this episode, I discuss the following: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture – this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Read in context Repetition Meditate on Scripture Read the text aloud Listen to an audio version Study/listen in various translations Start with God Make a list Follow cross-references Episode Guide Download Trust in God because He's trustworthy, not because He gives you what you want Sit and soak in Psalm 34 before interacting with the text Recognize that when you seek the Lord, He will answer, but not always in the way you are seeking Marking up the text on my tablet - I love the Notability app Starting with God before highlighting what we learn about people in Psalm 34 Using the bookmark Dr. Matthew Harmon shared on the special Friday With Friends edition of More Than a Song Remembering that while the Bible was written for you, it wasn't originally written to you Exploring the "story behind the song" by reading 1 Samuel 20-22 Looking closer at the original audience of this song - 1 Samuel 22:1-2 Rereading Psalm 34 now that you have the historical background Trust in our Redeemer and take refuge in Him, and you will not be condemned Psalm 34:22 John 3:17 Romans 8:1   When we share our testimony of God's faithfulness with others, it builds up their faith.   Additional Resources "Trust In God" by Elevation Worship - NewReleaseToday.com My favorite Bible Study Software - Logos Bible Software Affiliate Link This Week's Challenge Read Psalm 34 until you have a solid foundation of what the words say. Then, mark up the text as you look for God's character, conduct, and concerns before considering what we learn about people and how we respond to God. Read the story behind the song starting in 1 Samuel 20 and read through chapter 22. Meditate on what this song may have meant to the first audience, then connect it to your life. I hope as you see yourself in David's band of misfits, you more clearly see why you can trust in God.

Thanks for coming on the show.Erick Bakey: I appreciate you having me. Longtime listener, first-time caller. So, I'm really excited.MR: And I'm excited to have you. We had a little chat just before the end of the year and immediately thought that you'd be great for the podcast to share your story and your perspective. So, let's get that started. Tell us a little bit about who you are and what you do.EB: It has evolved. I'm an entrepreneur. If I'm at the bar, I would just tell someone I doodle for dollars. That gets a rise outta most people, but in a very real sense, I try to solve business blind spots. That feels right when I say it. I've had to go through a few different iterations of how you show up as an illustrator, which is not quite that. Not quite a cartoonist, not quite a whiteboard wizard, or whatever else you wanna call yourself. But that one fits right now.MR: Nice. Nice. Let's jump right into your origin story. I know a little bit about it, but I wanna let you take your time and tell us, maybe start from when you're a kid. Did you draw since when you were a little kid, and did that maintain itself through your life or did it come later in life? How did all that work out and to get to the place where you are now?EB: Yeah. I was drawn to the arts and I drew cartoons when I was a kid, and I actually won some scholastic awards in high school to go to art school, but I was too much of a tough guy. I just wasn't prepared to go take my art seriously. And so, I joined the Army right after high school and got to do the tough guy thing. Learned to blow stuff up, and more importantly, build bridges.When I got out, pun intended, I came up in the elevator industry and I went from stack and steel and spinning wrenches an elevator apprentice and worked my way up to become a general superintendent and construction executive. Really, it was the application of visual thinking that really helped me exceed in these kinds of things.I've brushed over about 12 years' worth my life there in a couple of sentences, but really, it was trying to understand the complexities of what an owner's intention was, what an architect's plan for making the thing beautiful, how an engineer makes the thing actually work, and then getting 80 different contractors to get on the same exact page and try to put the job in on time.I just used the tools that were available to me, which were a sharpie and a cardboard box, and just wheeled this thing into existence by getting everybody literally on the same page because everyone has their own competing priorities when it comes to a project.I used what tools were available, and that happened to be this thing called visual thinking. In hindsight, I wish I would've put a little bit more attention to that ability when I was going into my day job. It probably would've saved me a lot of stress. But, yeah, that's kinda the origin story.MR: Wow. Here's an interesting question because you came up from the bottom, being an apprentice and seeing everything from that perspective, you think that helped you when you came to the point of being this, I guess, a facilitator, I guess is probably the right way to call it, right? You're a facilitator using visual tools to try to get everybody organized and on the same page some ways, like a project manager, I guess, you might even say.Do you think, coming up from the bottom and working up that way gave you good perspective for all those other roles because you would've had to understand all those roles to really make them almost like interpret one to the other, right? Like the architect to the engineer because they might talk past each other. Is that a fair way to guess how that might have been?EB: Absolutely. It was through hard work and going from not knowing anything about anything and just struggling at every face going up. I hated at the time. I hated my job at every face of that experience 'cause there's always problems. But it was just a commitment to craftsmanship and then ultimately, the respect of the guys when I'm in charge.We all made fun of the guys who came straight outta college and started telling these 55-year-old mechanics how to build an elevator. They don't even know to do anything. The same thing, when I actually got on the office side of things, being able to speak from the perspective of the guys but on a more elevated business-like fashion and being able to—just the proper frame based on true experience rather than hypothetical book knowledge. I mean, it's just like street smarts versus taking a class.Fortunately, I've been able to do both, and absolutely, it was just a commitment to craftsmanship and trading cartooning as an honest trade. That's really how I came to this and leaning into it to say, "Okay, I'm not where I want to be yet, now that I've transitioned into this visual thinking world. I want to go there, but I'm not there yet. So what can I do now with the skills and abilities resources? I've got to be a good steward of these resources and solve the problems that are around me with these things to get me to where I'm trying to go in that general direction of what I think visual thinking should be. "MR: Another interesting question. Because you came from this perspective, you obviously had the respect of the guys who did the work. How did management react to you when you came to them? Do you think you had an interesting, where you are this in-between mediator that could speak the talk and yet speak their talk as well?EB: It's hard to be a legend in your own land. Fortunately, I got recruited from the field, I went to the office, I went to the competition. I could not get to the office level from the field place I was at. I had to take the next step of the ladder in a different company so that they would appreciate my knowledge. 'Cause I was just the irreverent kid, elevator mechanic at the one company that, yeah, sure, he does a good job, but he's an elevator mechanic.Those skills were celebrated by the competition, and it was a big opportunity. I wanted to overachieve and bring everything I could from the field but then apply in a new context in the office. It was appreciated at the new company.MR: Interesting. Almost like the place that where you got to a certain point where you outgrew it, and the only way to make the next step would be to leave it behind where nobody has any kind of preconceived ideas of who you are so you could start over again.EB: Maybe that was my own limited ability, but it's like the grass is always greener anyway. There's always ways, even now that I wish I could have transitioned things a little bit smoother, but, for me, it's always been, "All right, well, this is the new thing I'm doing. I'm going here and I'm gonna kick butt and it is what it is."MR: Interesting. Do you find that that's been the true for your process? Obviously, in each one of these, you had to burn it down and start over again. Are you finding this is a trend in your life for you to go to the next level? Has that been true for you?EB: Whether it's wisdom or fatigue, I'm doing less burning of bridges or anything like that. Distilling down with the truth and principles really are to get to where I'm trying to go has been more important. I think I was driven a lot by ego in the beginning. I wanted to go be the tough guy, army guy. I wanted to go be this pipe-swinging elevator guy. I wanted to go be the boss.Then as I started achieving these levels I was essentially climbing ladders, leaned up against the wrong building. I didn't think before actually building a career. If I would've had some visual thinking skills to really plan this thing out a little bit better, especially as I get to mentor some people now as employees and whatnot.It's like when I see that spark in somebody, instead of letting them go all these different directions, I try to channel it towards, "Hey, what are you really trying to accomplish?" I see there's a whole lot of activity, but what are we really trying to accomplish here? And try to channel them towards the best direction and just trying to be the friend or leader that I wish I would've had as I was coming up.MR: That's great. That's great. What kind of work are you doing these days? Are you still in the construction business? Where are you working?EB: I'm no longer in the construction world per se. I do a little bit of real estate development work, which is similar but different. It's before the construction actually even happens. I would argue it's much more lucrative to stay on that side of things. Also, I just got hired by Boeing, the big aerospace engine conglomerate. I'm really excited about that opportunity.I was kind of the wild, wild west of freelancing, whoever would hire me as a visual facilitator of how you show up as a marketer or a sales strategist or all kinds of different ways that you can use these skills. But I saw a real weakness that I had that I want to solve bigger problems and I want to be with a team executing upon worldwide. I just wanna have a bigger impact with these things.I feel like I have these really cool skills that are Ferrari skills for a small little consulting gig. But always, I want to go bigger and deeper with these people and it's hard to do that internally in a small business. I figured I'd go jump in the deep ocean where I'd have a team and ultimately also get mentoring from somebody I really respect.MR: Got it.EB: It is the same thing of—the ego thing is starting to fall past that. I wanted to be this irreverent entrepreneur, but what kind of problems do I really want? Like, oh, I can get, have a much bigger impact with over here, and I have these weaknesses that aren't gonna be used against me. They're actually gonna be strengthened by someone who I actually trust to help identify them. I'm really excited about the big opportunity that I've got going on now.MR: Give me an example. Let's say you're working with a—now you're internally, so let's say you're at Boeing someplace, just make a theoretical situation. You've got a problem that you're facing. You've got your team, you've got all of Boeing or some section of Boeing. How would you approach that? What kind of stuff would you bring to the table and how do you use visual thinking in that context?EB: It really is very important to understand the situation before you try to solve the problem. Slowing down and asking the right questions, it's not about having the right answers, it's about asking questions and truly having a consultative Socratic approach of feeling, where's the pain? "It hurts on the left-hand side of your body here. Is it in your arm or is it more in your leg? Oh, oh it hurts right there."Like, "Right there, right there, right there, right there?" And really taking a frame of, okay, so how does that apply to visual thinking? Drawing it out, asking the questions, capturing the emotion. That's the power of studying cartooning. The extra squiggles that make a cartoon really pop, make it look like it's moving can speak and tell a story that's more true to life than reality itself.I love that ability, and I do it and I show it to somebody and it's like when I get that, when I see the pain in their eyes and they can laugh about it, then I really truly understand. And then it gives me the right to then, "Hey, could this possibly be a solution?" Again, you get that work done upfront before you start prescribing a solution. So, really, it's understanding and doing it visually so that I don't have to have all the answers.I don't have an aerospace engineering degree, and so I'm gonna go—they did a fantastic job of interviewing a whole lot of people and I felt very unqualified 'cause I have no aerospace engineering background whatsoever. But I guess it was just in the way that I approached problem-solving, and that's what I'm excited to work with their innovation team to do that and really understand the kind of problems that a big multi-billion-dollar international company has and solve them with some simple pictures. Sounds really exciting to me.MR: That sounds really cool. I've looked at some of your work and talked to you a little bit. My impression is that the visualizations you do are a means to an end. Your goal is not to produce an image. The image is a step towards solving a problem. So, it doesn't have to be beautiful. It could be, as you said, you drew it on cardboard with a sharpie. Like medium doesn't matter, quality doesn't matter as long as it's communicating those concepts.Talk a little bit about your perspective on the actual work and how you use it and at what point do you just not worry about it, it just becomes a step along the way, or maybe it does become like a map of some kinds that maybe a team would follow over a long period of time.EB: I'm very fortunate that I have put the work in to become a really good illustrator. I've been paid to illustrate, I can draw photos realistically. I can paint portraits, I can do this really cool thing, but so can everybody else and they can actually do a lot better than me. So, I'm like, "What can I do to compete in this industry, the talent level is just unbelievable what people are able to do."I just chose to solve problems that were bigger than just pretty pictures. In the beginning, I didn't wanna share things that weren't super pretty. Like, is that social media envy game of who can get more status and likes and whatever. I just started sharing stuff that I thought was meaningful for me. I've been very grateful that it has resonated with some people 'cause I get people comment and message me very often about how can I do this for them in their organization.It's just me scratching my own itch. The longer I took to make sure everything was picture perfect and drawn out just perfectly, I got no different people either get it, where they don't get it and they're just like, yeah, like why am I so worried about this? Nobody actually cares. No one cares at all. So, it's like they only care about what you could do for them.And once I realize that it's like, okay, so how do I get faster at this and how do I capture these and share these meaningful things that maybe I care about and I thought people would actually care about, and they don't. So, like, huh? It's just been just creating as many—that parable if you wanna create the perfect pot, you don't spend three months making one pot. You spend the next 90 days making 90 pots. I'm just trying to crank out 90 pots and then eventually I'll get the perfect one.And then what to what end? It's ultimately just trying to solve problems for organizations and people that I want to be around. To what end, it's simply to have—I call them visually valuable conversations. I wanna have conversations with meaningful people. That's the end. I happen to use analog tools, digital tools, all kinds of different tools. It just a medium. I could be a crayon a on butcher paper for all I care, as long as I get the kind of impact that I want out of it.MR: And that it communicates. You're connecting your communication between whoever you're working with or the people that you're working with, so you get on the same page. That seems really important as well. That's really fascinating and I think that's covers a little bit of what you're doing. If you're just starting, you're probably not even sure what you're gonna be up to at Boeing yet. That'll be real fun to follow and see, check in with you in the future and see what you're up to.I wanna shift into the tools that you like. You've talked a little bit about using crayons and butcher paper and sharpies and cardboard. Do you have like a go-to set of tools like pens or notebooks or paper or some materials that you like, that you typically will run with? Let's start with analog first and then shift to digital.EB: As I said, I started with just a cardboard box and a sharpie marker. That's effective when you're just quick and dirty in the field trying to just get a point across, explain something complicated to someone who doesn't get it, that checks the box. When I went pro, about 2016, I started doing this full-time and I bought this fancy flip chart all the Neulands and replaceable nibs.I love it and they're super cool and fountain pens and feud tips and like, all kinds of really sweet stuff. And then I let the tools get in the way of doing the real work. I spent all this time practicing my typography. It was fun to take the courses. There's so much stuff to learn. There's so much to this stuff. I have a whole huge bookMR: Your books.EB: I love. I'm a total nerd when it comes to visual thinking and tools and only having the best. But then I stopped being a little bit so precious about it once the pandemic happened and I'm like, "Well now it's like what problem am I really trying to do?" I was so concerned about making sure it was pretty and messing around with like the right tools and everything. It's great. It's hard to do good work with crappy tools, but only a poor craftsman blames his tools.It's just like this dichotomy of, what can you use to get the job done and what job is it that you're really trying to do. When it comes down to it, you can do this job with some post-it notes and a sketchbook or a whiteboard or whatever it is that you have around you. There are some really nice things. There are wonderful resources. But I try not to get too hung up in it 'cause I will nerd out on—like the 0.07 G2 is better than the 1.0, or vice versa. I can totally nerd out on it, but I try not—what am I really trying to accomplish here? So that'd be my only feedback is don't let the tools get in the way of a good job.MR: It does sound like you probably appreciate—my perspective is I like to have tools that I can go into any drug store anywhere in the world and buy. If I can get used to using those tools, I know I've always got a backup. If mine blows up, I can go to the Walgreens or the corner drug store in the UK or whatever and probably buy something that if it's not that thing or it's pretty close.Sounds like Pilot G2 would be one of those things. Do you have any favorite notebooks? I only use 3M post-it notes because the cheap ones tend to curl up and fall off the wall. That's a little tip there in case you're gonna use post-it notes, get good ones ‘cause it's worth the money.EB: I do not leave the house without a little pocket-sized back—my back left pocket at all times with a sharpie, with the fine tip and the regular tip on it and a big like a 0.9-millimeter mechanical pencil because they don't break. I will never leave the house without it because you should always have your tools, especially there's always time, little five-minute pockets time to practice or the things that pop in your head or whatever. I love to just capture these little tiny things and it's just something that it is impossible to forget for me when I write it down, which is why I started doing this anyway.And if I put the words with the visual, it will burn itself. It's like mental dynamite. It's in there for good if I take the time to draw it out, especially in an emotional moment. So, I just have it with me. I don't always pull it out every single day, but it's always there and it's just like, these are my tools and this is how I'm showing up. Those are analogs I gotta have.MR: Nice. Then I assume like the little notebook that you keep in your pocket set, like a field note notebook or something like that.EB: It's a super cheap one. You can get them in packs of 12. They're super cheap and they're just plain. There's no dots or anything on them. Again, just like an Amazon special, I've got super precious notebooks and like sketchbooks that I don't wanna screw 'em up with like, whatever. I bust them out for [unintelligible 00:22:09]. I'll really lean into it when I'm gonna do it, but when I'm just for an everyday carry, it's better to have something that you don't mind messing up and just getting used rather than never using it.MR: There is something to be said about something that's so inexpensive that if it gets screwed up, "Eh, I'll just recycle it and start a new one." It doesn't feel like you're hurting anything. Nothing precious has gone away. It got all bent up or got a little burned in the fire or whatever. Take pictures of the important stuff and recycle it and move on to the next one. There's something really freeing about that. You're not so tied to having to have a special book or something like that. So that's really interesting. What about digital tools?You can run an entire business now with Google Docs. It's just unbelievable what is available for free to be able to do this. I've used Procreate to illustrate a couple books now. I love it. Concepts is really cool. I'm probably gonna transition more to Concepts because I'm running these much bigger projects and gonna need that infinite canvas to be open at all times and continue.When it comes to actually doing consulting work and delivering these things, Notability is just unbelievable. Being able to have a really pretty PDF that's uploaded into it and then you can also draw on it. It's unbelievable the tools that you can get for like 10 bucks.MR: Right. I know.EB: It's just mind-boggling. Because I'm not as seasoned as you are, but I was not willing to pay for Adobe Creative Suite back in the day. It was just not even an option. I just got good at these inexpensive tools and they're just unbelievable how good they really are. The tools are smarter than me. I don't even use them for even a fraction of what their ability to do is, and I'm already just blown away by how useful they are.MR: I've seen that as well. The quality of the tools that we have available to us for the price that they cost, like Procreate and Concepts, and even I use Paper By WeTransfer like that's $12 a year. That's a drop in the bucket. I get value out of that within the first week that I use it, it's already paid for in my mind from the value it provides. Even some other tools that you can get are pretty reasonable as well.I think that's good. It democratizes accessibility to those tools where maybe in the past it was pretty limited. You had to really be in with the old Adobe suite, especially if you bought it. Couple hundred bucks, maybe a thousand bucks if you really needed lots of tools and suddenly you better make use of it 'cause you know, a lot of money. That's really fascinating.Well, thank you so much for sharing a little bit about your tools. Sounds like you're a pretty practical guy like me. Let's shift into tips now. The way I frame this is imagine there's somebody listening, they're a individual thinking, whatever that means to them, and they feel like they've reached a plateau for whatever reason.Maybe it's the beginning of the year, maybe it's just, tired out of something. Just they need a little bit of inspiration. What would be three things you would give them, three tips you would tell them? It could be practical, it can be theoretical things that you might say to encourage them to begin again or start the climb.EB: I'd say first, what problem are you really trying to solve? You're hung up on this thing, you are trying—what are you really trying to solve and who are you trying to solve it for? Are you trying to solve it for yourself? Because sketchnotes are a fantastic way to solve for yourself also get some gratification and edification from other people who think your work is cool.There's a whole community for people who just do sketchnotes. As someone who's gone through several apprenticeships, it's essential to get those basics down 100%. What are you trying to solve? If it's skills that you need to get, just do some sketchnotes and it's for yourself. If you're trying to solve for somebody else, okay, is this a graphic recording kind of question? Is this a visual facilitation kind of question? Then what is the value of solving that problem?For you, is it to just get past the mental block of that, "I'm not good enough to do this thing?" Well, yes you are. There's so many uses for visual thinking and how you can in increase your skills and share them with somebody else because the only way to get better at drawing is to push the ugliness out of your pencil on that piece of paper. There's no way—no matter how many books I read or courses I take, I continue to learn and continue to get better.People are so good at this stuff and even after people are tell me that, "Oh, you're so talented." Still, I'm never satisfied with how much further I could push this. The tip point number one is what problem are you trying to solve? Is it for you or for someone else? And what is the value of solving that problem? So, you get off your butt, actually solve it. You need consequences for it not being solved or a reward for solving it.What is the problem? Who's it for? What is the value of doing this work? You need to get that clear before you're gonna get past your funk. That'd be my first tip. Second is, so where are you right now and where do you want to go? As I said, if you want to build sketchnotes onto and become a professional with this thing, you can. There's also people who I would argue I'm a better illustrator, or arguably they've got incredible businesses doing this thing.It has very little to do with your physical skillset and more about who is the community that you're surrounding yourself with. If you're just trying to be, like just educate yourself on a specific topic. Maybe you're struggling with math or physics or something like that, and you can use visual thinking and sketchnoting to solve for that. Or there's tons of business and personal development advice out there. There's tons of podcasts that, to distill it down.It's a whole problem of itself, there's this proliferation of advice out there. It's too much of it. It's a massive fire hose. And people have made incredible Twitters and Instagram pages and made incredible illustrations and sketchnotes of just distilling down all the stuff. Maybe you'll also see that some of it is bull crap. Drawing it out and seeing, oh, this actually doesn't—that I see it in front of me, it sounded really good, but.That would be, so where are you now and where do you want to go with this? Do you wanna do this professionally? I have now I've got hired by this incredible company that's an aerospace defense company that's unbelievable. And I'm just someone who's like a reformed construction worker turned cartoonist. It'd be really hard to even put your finger on exactly how I got here. It's not something that I intentionally woke up and said, "I'm gonna do this thing." It was something that pulled on.Once I saw it, once I saw your work, I saw there was a whole community, how do I get better at this skill so that I can be undeniable that even that I can solve these problems and work for a company that is on a mission that I actually care about. Cool. My third and final one would just be to be useful, resourceful, and worth knowing in your five-mile famous world.It's not about being the best artist or even being the best listener. It's not being about being the best, it's being useful with the talents that you've been given, the resources that you've got. Resourceful people, use your resources and be useful to the people who are around you. And being worth knowing, I feel is a higher calling than being well known. That's really what I aspire to do. I guess I'm giving myself my own advice here, but that'd be my third tip.MR: That's great. Those are three great tips. I love all three. Thanks for sharing those with us. We're right at the end of the podcast if you can believe it. It just kind of flew by. It was so fun chatting with you. Tell us, what's the best place for people to find you if they wanna connect, if they wanna talk with you where would they go?EB: I post pretty regularly on both Instagram and LinkedIn, and they're under my name Eric Bakery, B-A-K-E-Y. I also have my own little website, Eric bakey.com. The whole online presence, I'm not hard to find if you just type me into Google, I'm sure you'll find me.MR: I hadn't thought about this until you said your name. Is there any kind of background in your family of being bakers? Is that in your history?EB: Funny thing on my mom's side, so not my dad's side, but the Bakey name, my mom's grandfather was a famous wedding cake baker in Philadelphia.MR: Really?EB: Well, my mom makes me a birthday cake where she makes wedding cake, birthday cake for me.MR: Wow.MR: I can't get it at the store. I gotta get my mom's fancy birthday cake stuff. I guess I'm kind of spoiled.MR: There is baking in your history somewhere.EB: There is. Yeah.MR: Interesting. That's pretty cool. Well, Eric, this has been so much fun chatting with you and having you share your experience and your story. Thanks so much for being on the show and thanks for the work that you're doing and how you're sharing and how you're being in the world. We so appreciate it.EB: I appreciate you. You're a huge inspiration. Thanks a lot, Mike.MR: Well, thank you. And for everyone listening to the show, it's another episode of the "Sketch Note Army Podcast." Till the next episode, we'll talk to you soon.

It's your values as a company.” Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive TalkRoute Referral Link Transcript [00:00:00] It doesn't matter if you're selling to somebody and they just forget everything instantly. And so if they can retain the information that you share and they learn, that education that you give them during the sales process increases the likelihood that they're going to work with you.  [00:00:15] Welcome Doorgrow Hackers to the DoorGrowShow. If you are a property management entrepreneur that wants to add doors, make a difference, increase revenue, help others, impact lives, and you are interested in growing in business and life, and you're open to doing things a bit differently, then you are a DoorGrow Hacker. DoorGrow Hackers love the opportunities, daily variety, unique challenges, and freedom that property management brings. Many in real estate think you're crazy for doing it. You think they're crazy for not because you realize that property management is the ultimate high trust gateway to real estate deals, relationships, and residual income. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the industry, eliminate the bs, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. I'm your host, property management growth expert, Jason Hull, the founder, and CEO of DoorGrow.  [00:01:12] Now let's get into the show. So at the time of this recording, we are in kind of the no man's land in between Christmas and New Year's. This time period I see a lot of entrepreneurs put their head down and they get a little bit bored and they start to focus on working on their business sometimes for the first time in a long time because there's a lot of business owners. A lot of y'all are working in your business constantly, and you're not working on your business, and businesses can't grow unless you're working on them instead of just in them, right? I call that strategic time instead of just daily tactical time doing the work. So today's topic that I wanted to talk about... I've been working with my sales team on helping to create better visual materials. So one thing that I've noticed is I've started using an app called Notability, and I draw a lot on my iPad with my Apple pencil and I've been doing a lot of drawings in educating, teaching clients, and I just notice that at the end of our group coaching calls and stuff, I have way less questions. There's much higher retention rate, people absorb the information better, and it's really helped me to understand the power in visuals. Not only that, but we've bought into several high ticket programs and masterminds, and I've noticed that some of the ones that we closed very easily with, they had a very nice pitch deck. [00:02:44] And so I wanted to share an idea with all of you that you should have a pitch deck for your property management business in selling. This is something that I coach clients on, and so I wanted to just touch on, kind of sell you on the idea of having a pitch deck. Now, I know, ironically, I do not have a pitch deck to show you right now to sell you on the idea of having a pitch deck. That would be really cool, right? But this is a podcast, so not everybody is going to see anything anyway. [00:03:17] But I'm going to go over some topics and if you saw my previous episode on ChatGBT, I actually had ChatGBT do some of the research for me. So AI helped me create this podcast episode. So one of the things that makes Pitch Decks really effective is there's this power in visual storytelling. Visuals help convey complex ideas really quickly. They help people get the idea and see it and absorb it a lot faster. Not only that, but it's engaging and it gives somebody something they can remember in association with it. So I think also with having something like that, you know, if it's designed even marginally well, it doesn't have to be amazing, but it helps build credibility and it shows a better first impression that you've thought through some of these concepts. So, I share frameworks, but I like to share them in a visual way so that people can absorb and learn these frameworks. We use these during our sales pitch, during the sales process.  [00:04:19] Now, in using visual aids, like in a pitch deck, having things that people can see, it will definitely help you increase your close rates because if people are absorbing information faster and if people can see the information and they're visual learners and they're not just auditory learners, then they'll be able to absorb it a lot more quickly. And some people are kinesthetic learners. They have to kind of see and feel. And so visuals help them to kind of imagine how these things could work, especially if you're using sort of visual analogies or pictures that involve people touching, doing, acting right? For those kinesthetic learners out there. I mentioned that retention is a lot higher, so it doesn't matter if you're selling to somebody and they just forget everything instantly. And so if they can retain the information that you share and they learn that education that you give them during the sales process increases the likelihood that they're going to work with you because the only reason they would not work with you is because they aren't educated enough, right? Because you offer a really great service and you solve their problem. And if they don't understand that, they need to be educated on that.  [00:05:30] So let's talk about the benefits of having a pitch deck, right? So, we talked about how it can visually help showcase the value proposition of your product or service. The pitch deck also can help the sales team if you have a sales team. This helps them to actually sell the way that you would want them to. It helps keep them on track during a presentation, and it helps them be more organized. It creates consistency because-- how many of you have created a sales script. Many of you probably don't have one, which really sucks, but how many of you created a sales script and then you listen to a call and your team don't follow it? And so the visuals kind of force them to go down a similar path to what you would want them to. And you can build the script into the pitch deck. If they're doing it digitally, they can be the notes on the slides. And so they have to talk about what they're showing visually, right? Pitch deck also can help establish and build credibility and it is kind of set you as a leader in your space because a lot of your competition probably don't have one. [00:06:31] I'll be honest, like most property managers' sales process is just hope somebody calles in and then just wing it and answer whatever questions they have, and hopefully, maybe they'll want to sign up, and that's like really ridiculous, right? It's not a very effective sales strategy. So we teach a lot more effective ways of building a sales process through multiple interactions, spread out over time, and using effective language, how to deal with objections and building the ultimate pitch using our golden bridge for phase selling and et cetera. So you want to build this out to be really effective. The pitch deck also can help your sales team anticipate and address the objections or questions from potential customers. So the pitch deck that I'm building out right now for my sales team has all of the most common objections and the ways to deal with those objections built into it. Now, they don't have to use every slide, like if they went through and used every slide that we have that I've put in the pitch deck and talked about them all and shared every framework, it'd probably be like a two hour conversation. It'd be really long. They don't need to. One of the early slides in the pitch deck is to triage and identify what their challenges are, and then later we have slides to deal with those challenges. You don't need to talk about anything else, right? You don't need to talk about stuff that you can solve for them that they're not dealing with if they're potential client, they care about the problems they have, right? And so that is another tool or another way that a pitch check can help is that it can help address objections or these questions and get them thinking about how you can help them solve this. Pitch deck can also help future pace people, so you can showcase a roadmap or a path that includes you in the future, and really this is why people work with you, is they imagine a different future than they've been experiencing in the present or in the past.  [00:08:32] They imagine there's a different outcome or a different result in the future that includes you and it allows you to visually showcase here's the journey that you're going to go on. Which is why it's important to have maybe a roadmap or a journey. And if you haven't seen our roadmap for property managers, which is the DoorGrow Code, we've cracked the code on the process for growing and scaling your business from zero to a thousand plus doors in a relatively short period of time, and this roadmap it creates a lot of clarity for our clients and for our potential clients very quickly. They can see, oh, this is the problem I should be working on instead of this, and here's where I'm at and here's what I need to do to get to the next level. So they don't waste a lot of time doing the wrong stuff. Right? If you set up a call with our team, you'll definitely see that this is how we triage clients now. It's how we help them see the future of how we can help them. So the pitch deck also will help the, your sales team-- or yourself if you're selling-- persuade the potential customers because it'll highlight the key features, benefits of the product and service. You can showcase these. So if it's property management, you can showcase in your pitch deck through your slides, like the benefits of using a property manager over what other alternate vehicles they might have been thinking about doing, like doing it themselves or getting their realtor to do it, or whatever, right?   [00:09:55] A pitch deck also can help your sales team close deals, by providing a clear call to action, and then outlining what happens after that, right? So you can have a clear call to action, which one of the biggest challenges I've noticed with sales teams is that they just don't ask. They don't go for the close. So you build that in and they will ask every time. And you need to ask for the close-- I teach my sales team-- you need to ask for the close, even if you know they won't do it yet , but because it brings out the objections. It allows those objections to come out or come to the foreground. It kind of shakes the gold out of the dirt, so to speak. It allows you to see the real objections in what you need to deal with, and if you don't ask, a lot of times you don't get to the objection, and she's like, "well, do you think you might do this?" "Yeah, maybe." "Cool, okay, well, you know, I'll follow up with you after you've taken a look at some things." "Okay." right. That's not very effective. But if you say, "Hey, is there anything that would prevent you from signing up or getting started with us today?" And, you know, "are you ready to do this?" They're going to say yes or no. They might say yes, right? And they might say, "well, no, I need to do this." Or you'll hear some typical objections like, "well, I need to talk to my spouse first, or I need, you know, I need to get the funds together," or whatever it might be. They're going to bring up some sort of objection. "Well, I'm working on this with the property first and I need to do this." Okay, cool. So now you know what the objection is, and you can say, "well, we can help you with that thing," or "We solve that problem, by the way," or "that's included" or "here's why you probably don't want to go down that path and do that. Instead, have us do this," right? So you can now solve that objection that's preventing them from signing up with you right now.  [00:11:43] All right. So let's talk about some things to include in a good pitch deck. So this is what ChatGPT says. So here's some ideas, right? So it should have a clear and compelling value proposition. This should be the main focus of the pitch deck and should be communicated in a way that resonates with the audience, right? There needs to be value, right? How is this going to benefit me? Is what your prospect's thinking. Number two, a strong visual design. Use clean professional design elements to make the pitch deck visually appealing and easy to follow. You want it to be very visual, not text heavy. That's PowerPoint. Death by PowerPoint is you just include everything that you're going to say text-wise and then it's really annoying. It's almost insulting. You're like, "well, I'm going to read you what's on the screen right now." right? You don't want to do that. Use visuals that back up what you're going to say and have what you're going to say in the hidden notes on your desktop or on your screen, or in front of you, right? Where are we at?  [00:12:43] Number three, detailed product or service information. So provide detailed information about the product or service being pitched, including key features and benefits. Now, if people get too caught up on the features and benefits, it's often because they don't trust you a lot of times. So just be aware of that. If they trust you, then the features and benefits can help move them towards the close. Number four, customer testimonials. So make sure you include quotes or video testimonials from satisfied customers to build credibility and trust. They need social proof. This is a risk for them to trust you, and so you need a showcase or have some stories, some success stories to share and showcase real people-- faces. They need to see faces of humans that say, "you should work with this property management company." Number five, a solid business model. Outline the company's business model and how the product or service fits into that model. So you think that your business, actual product, your product really is your business. It's not property management.  [00:13:51] Your product really is your team. It's your service. It's your philosophy, it's your values as a company. And so I think it's important to showcase that. Number six, market analysis. You could provide data and research to demonstrate the size and potential of the target market. So I think this could be helpful in property management because one of the big challenges or objections people will have if you're trying to convert them maybe from an accidental investor to a long-term buy and hold for example or something. They might have concerns about external factors related to the real estate industry, the market as a whole. "Should I even keep this property?" And that could be very relevant to have some data about the market and why it's good to invest there and why it's good to hold onto the investment, et cetera. Number seven, marketing and sales strategy. Outline the marketing sales strategy for the product or service, including details on target audience, pricing, distribution channels. So you will be marketing these properties. And so they're going to want to see some of that stuff. Like, "here's how we're going to help you get this thing rented out. Here's how we're going to market. Here's our process. Here's how we're going to make a video of the property and how we're going to put it out there and how we're going to get you the best tenants" and stuff like this. [00:15:10] Number eight, team and leadership. So introduce the team and leadership behind the company highlighting the relevant expertise and experience. So I think that's very helpful to showcase that it's not just a one man show if you can, and to showcase that your team have knowledge and experience and to showcase your expertise. A lot of times you aren't talking enough about yourself and like, "here's why I'm an expert." So for example I would say, "I've spoken to thousands of property managers. I've helped hundreds. We have hundreds of clients. We have about 90 businesses in our Mastermind right now, paying us thousands of dollars a month, right?" so I want to showcase my expertise. Right. So you need to be willing to toot your own horn and showcase that you're an expert. Otherwise, why should they trust you? Right? They don't care how much you know or what you know until they know that you are an expert and are safe and they can trust you, right? [00:16:08] Then they'll start to listen to you. I usually recommend you qualify yourself early in your pitch deck and early in the conversation. Okay. What else? We've got number nine, financial projections. So providing financial projections, including revenue and profitability estimates to show the potential return on the investment for the product or service. So that can be a little bit dangerous, I think, legally. You need to be careful. You can't make certain promises, but I think with their rental property, you could show a performance. You could show some projections of the future of what they could be doing versus where they're at now, which creates a pain gap between the results you can get them and where they're currently sitting. You could showcase rent range reports and what their property should rent for. You could have comps, stuff like this. And then number 10, a clear call to action. So of course at the end, you should end with a clear call to action and outline the next steps, right?  [00:17:09] So that is the idea of creating a pitch deck. Now I have a lot of psychology and science that I put into pitch decks. I don't have the time to go into all of that here on a podcast episode. We go deep. There's a lot of cool stuff that you can add into your pitch and into your pitch deck. As part of our rapid revamp program, I spend two weeks, two of our calls are spent just focusing on how to create the ultimate pitch, and then we have a whole training in DoorGrow Academy in Sales Secrets, how to build the ultimate sales pipeline and process. And then how sales language that you can use, which is based on neurolinguistic programming to psychologically shift people's attention towards the things they should be focused on to deal with objections, stuff like this. And then we get into my four phase Golden Bridge selling, which I think is the most authentic way to sell to create trust, which is about transparently sharing your real motivation besides just getting money from them and sharing, connecting it to their motivation and showcasing how your business is a vehicle for you to get what you want. So you can go back and listen to my episode on the Four Reasons for starting a Business. So it gets into that a bit and then connecting it. So if they understand your motive, the business motive, and it connects to their motive, everybody's in alignment and you know there's going to be a win-win win between all three entities here, right? So the business gives you what you want and helps give them what they want, and that's the golden bridge. [00:18:42] The business is the bridge between both of you getting and connecting with your desires, connecting to each other, right? And it's the most authentic, easiest way to create trust and to sell. And we get into the four phases of that in our selling process, and then we get into what I call the three dominoes that you need to knock over in order to have the ultimate pitch, which is during phase three is the pitch part. So, if you're curious about learning this, you want to increase your close rate, you want to close more deals, you want to get more clients, reach out to DoorGrow. We would love to help you out, and our clients are crushing it. We had our growth accelerator call today with our group coaching clients. One of our clients just added 37 doors in the last month. So kudos to that client. And he just broke the hundred door barrier. He knows how to get doors, doesn't have to spend any money on advertising. And he's like, "it's becoming painful." And that's exactly what we define at that stage in our DoorGrow Code. You break the hundred doors, and it's going to start to become painful because you now are a promoter and you know how to grow your business. Adding doors is not hard. So we solved that problem. So now he needs our super system. He needs to start building out the back end of the business operations, et cetera. [00:19:58] And if you're already beyond hundred doors, you're probably making some of the most typical mistakes. You're thinking, "I need more processes. I need to micromanage my team more, I need more KPIs." These are very typical thinking of entrepreneurs that are stuck and will never break 600 doors because they are focused on the wrong problem.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the CEO of https://themathergroupllc.com/ (The Mather Group), Josh Greene.  The Mather Group is an organization focused on three things: SEO (search engine optimization), paid media, and Wikipedia. Josh Elderedge and Josh Greene discuss Wikipedia and how they help big companies understand what Wikipedia is or isn't, what expectations should be, and what to do with the material currently out there. Josh Elderedge expresses that nearly anyone can contribute to Wikipedia and the intricacies that can come with a collaborative platform.  Josh and Josh discuss the process of pages being deleted on Wikipedia and how that happens. Josh Greene shares how it's not enough to just publish a page, it's also how relevant that page stays. He discusses the process where a page will be nominated for deletion, from there it is a week to ten days of debate over whether the page is relevant. Josh Greene shares that often the page is deleted.  Josh Eldredge asks Josh Greene about notability tests and at what point Wikipedia would consider notability enough to warrant a page. Josh Greene shares how Wikipedia has tons of documentation and how it is very good at their rules and regulations. Josh Greene expresses for new pages the big hurdle of notability is that there needs to be a number of mainstream profiles of someone without quoting that person.  Josh Eldredege asks Josh Greene about his work in reputation management and the weight that wikipedia has in google's eyes. Josh Eldredge focuses on reputation issues and how that situation is mitigated or dealt with. Josh Greene expresses how every situation is a little bit different. He explains how sometimes there may be a situation where it now takes up 8 of 10 Google results and how that may not paint a fair picture of what's going on. Josh Greene discusses clients and how often they hear from people that are either currently in a crisis or just got out of a crisis. He shares how generally it's easier to maintain when doing so in advance but that often people wait until the situation is exasperated before looking to address it.  Josh and Josh discuss online presence and how keeping it up to date gives you a solid base. When being a bigger company, a lot of your profiles will be highly visible. Josh Greene shares how when the online presence is stronger, it's less likely for a negative story to take a headline as there's additional information to filter through.  Want to learn more?

I've been thoroughly enjoying my 2nd Generation Apple Pencil for taking notes on my iPad (mainly using Notability) and one of my favorite little tips is simply double-tapping the Apple Pencil to quickly switch between the writing pen and the eraser! It's so quick and easy, and doesn't require me to lift my finger to tap another option, etc. There are other double-tap options under Settings - Apple Pencil but I very much like the immediate toggle between pen and eraser.   Jeff's iTip: iPad as a White Board at Home (using GoodNotes). We use it for homework at our house, but you can use this for anything! For example, you can just put up a blank background and then take notes, and share those notes with others. Here's a bonus tip when using GoodNotes and accessing the “lasso” tool” - you can customize what you grab with the lasso tool by tapping the tool and toggling on or off the following: handwriting, images, text boxes, and comments. When you're done with the note you can export it as a PDF to share it around. Brett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.comSupport the show

Diet culture has always been around, but it seems to be hitting new highs as of late. In the Spoonie community, we don't have a stronger armor against the bombardment of diet culture. Actually, with our doctors and health professionals always telling us to be healthier about what we eat, how we exercise, etc., we can often succumb to these fad diets or "quick fixes" more easily. This week we discuss why diet culture is actually toxic to the chronic illness community, and we need to focus more on our health rather than diets. That quick fixes and fad diets aren't our friends.

Chronic illnesses aren't just made up of diseases of the body, but also disorders of the mind. Somehow we forget to include mental illness in our list of chronic illnesses from time to time. Well, not today. On this episode we get the privilege of talking to special guest, Peyton Garland, the author of Not So By Myself, and a fellow Spoonie living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder--or OCD. We get the opportunity to explore the ins and outs of OCD with Peyton from what it actually means to have OCD, how the term has been co-opted by Type A people, and the many ways it can impact a person's life. Peyton also shares her story of how she discovered she had OCD and why that discovery changed everything for her. She also talks about how her illness made her feel isolated and alone, and what she did to overcome some of those feelings (including writing a book!).  Oh, and don't mind a couple little jaunts off the beaten path of what we should have been talking about. It's podcasting...you never know what you're going to get! So join us for this awesome discussion with Peyton.

It's amazing to us how many people don't know that they have certain rights when they walk into the door of a medical facility. We shouldn't be shocked. It's not like anyone went out of their way to make sure you or any of the rest of us knew we had them. They didn't. We think there may have been some blips on the news about the Patients' Bill of Rights, but that's about it.  However, these rights are essential for Spoonies to know. We can't tell you how many times we're in our groups online and someone tells us about a disrespectful doctor or how they received a treatment that was contraindicated with something they were already on. They had no idea they could refuse treatment, or that they had a right to respect in a medical facility. But you do have rights. You have a lot of them, and these doctors, nurses, other care staff and the administrators need to respect them. IT IS THE LAW.  Whew, we get really heated when we talk about this, because it gets under our craw when we feel our fellow Spoonies are being mistreated. The Patients' Bill of Rights was designed to protect you and ensure you would get proper and equal treatment. So on this week's episode we go over each aspect of the law and what you have a right to expect. We lay it out in detail. And let us tell you, it's no short episode, but it's an essential one. You might need to take a break, take some notes, whatever you need to do. But don't miss this episode. And like always, share your stories and advice on our Facebook page.

Try doing a Google search for Best Places to live when you have a chronic illness, and you'll get a bevy of articles listing out where to live. Top ten lists, top five...even top 100. All of them outlining why their list is best, and they know what's right for you. But when it comes to best places to live for Spoonies, there's only a few things that matter--and a lot of the time those things are highly individual. On this episode, we discuss where some of these lists got things right, and where you need to take the lists with a grain of salt. We look at how each person might find places that are on the tops of these lists problematic, but where they might really like those areas. We also outline what you should consider before a move and how you should consider a new city or state.  And we're sure there are going to be varied opinions on some of these top localities. There is local pride at stake in some cases, and also you all may have some great advice to share about places you've lived and why they work or don't work for fellow Spoonies.

When we say hobbies, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Yep, we knew it! That lady crafting away, right? But not all hobbies are craft related, and there is one out there for you! Hobbies can be an important part of a Spoonie's life, because they help reduce stress and keep us engaged. Yes, that sounds so cheerful of us, but studies do show they do the body good, and on this episode, we discuss why Spoonies need hobbies, what hobbies are good for Spoonies, and how you can share your hobbies with the group. It sounds fluffy, we know. We're not going to be talking about creating origami birds (though totally valid hobby, by the way) or scrapbooking your pictures from eighth grade (oooh, braces! Fun times!). We're talking about what makes certain hobbies work for the chronic illness mind, body, and spirit. All the things we think get broken when we're diagnosed. Except, with hobbies, we can regain some of that back.  How? Download the episode and find out (yeah! teaser!!). And then share your hobbies on our Facebook page.

We know it seems weird that we're doing an episode on hygiene, but truthfully it's one of the most draining things on our daily spoons count that we could think of. Hygiene and chronic illness are two things that clash constantly in our daily lives, and we just take that clash for granted all the time--so we decided to talk about it. After all, what does hygiene mean to you? In today's germaphobic world, the first thing that comes to mind is probably just washing your hands, right? Well, no...we're not doing an entire episode on washing our hands (but yes, it does come up. Covid protocols, after all!). Hygiene is a pretty broad topic, and things like showering, washing our hair, brushing our teeth...well, those are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to giving out spoons each day of the week. So on this episode we talk about different aspects of our hygiene and how we can help conserve spoons, what we should be focusing our spoons on, and what things we may not have been taking care of when it comes to hygiene that have been hidden hygiene killers all along! Oops. Also remember to share your tips and tricks on how you conserve your spoons when it comes to hygiene in the comments or on our Facebook page.

What's the last movie you saw where you said, "Wow! They totally portrayed that chronic illness right?" Okay, now...name a movie that isn't a documentary. Yeah, you have to really think, right? Chronic illness in entertainment is a thorn in most Spoonie's side, because we just don't always see ourselves portrayed properly on screen or on the page. On this week's episode we talk about how we've been portrayed in entertainment over the years in various mediums. We discuss what movies and shows we think got it right, how they got it right, and why we think they got it right. We also talk about common flaws in the industry and why we think they continue to perpetuate these myths about our illnesses.  After all, aren't we tired of being used as silly tropes like the villain, the friend who dies of actually curable illnesses, or the sad disabled person? However, we also get real about showing chronic illness on screen. Can it be shown realistically? When should it even be discussed?  We get into the writers room and how they should be looking at our chronic illness in real ways.  So let's take a little dive into chronic illness in entertainment, and maybe share a little about your take. Comment on your favorite portrayals, movies, etc. What have you seen that has worked or hasn't. We'd love to hear from you here or in the Facebook group!

Oh, Lupus, you special autoimmune disease. Most people have heard of Lupus, but few know exactly what it is. That's because Lupus is great at mimicking so many other rheumatological diseases that it tends to be a unique experience for every patient. There are some tests for it, but those tests aren't the be-all-end-all for diagnosis. There's also the misconception that all Lupus patients die and can't live normal lives. Not true. So we end May with our Lupus Awareness Month episode, where we'll go through all the reasons Lupus is called the great imitator by the medical community and why it's so hard for Lupus patients to get a diagnosis and what it means once you are diagnosed. Since Nicole has spent the last 18 years with her diagnosis, she'll talk about the road to getting diagnosed, what treatments helped her and what other treatments are out there, and what it's like living with Lupus. And yes, there is a life to be lived even if you have Lupus.  We encourage everyone to take a listen, because Lupus often doesn't come alone. It comes in pairs with other disorders. So while you may not have Lupus, you may have one of the comorbidities that come with Lupus. Or you may have some of the signs that you have Lupus, too. Or maybe you have a friend who has Lupus and you want to know more. Like always, we thank you for listening.

This week we're diving deep into the world of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (or EDS) with Rachel Kamen--a life long EDS Warrior. May is EDS Awareness Month, so we thought it appropriate to devote an episode to discussing what EDS is, how it's diagnosed and how those of us who have EDS live our lives with the chronic illness. And why not talk to one of the biggest experts we know on EDS, because Rachel was diagnosed when she was just a child--something that doesn't always happen. EDS isn't an easy chronic illness to live with, since there are usually dislocations, bruisings, subluxations, digestive issues, and more to deal with (not that any of our illnesses are easy), and Rachel walks us through her journey. She's seen almost all of it plus hospitalizations, fighting for her own care, experimental procedures, and hope. She's seen hope even in dark times. We hope her story can be as informative and inspirational to you as it has been to us. Take some time to learn more about EDS, and share your thoughts on our Facebook page. Also, we have some AMAZING news!! We hit our 500th download this week!! Woohoo! As promised on the episode, we want to congratulate Gwen on being our custom t-shirt winner.
