The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: In a volatile world, François-Philippe Champagne is making the case for boring — selling Canada, one deal at a time. GUEST:  Muhammad Ali, Vice President with Crestview Strategies - Canada is almost certainly headed toward some kind of inquiry into foreign interference in its democracy. But if its focus is solely on China or Russia and other state actors, it won't be tackling the potentially far more troubling forces that proved so disruptive to Canada during last year's convoy protest. Is the country ready to take that dark dive into foreign interference — the non-China variety? GUEST: Michael Kempa, Associate Professor of Criminology at the University of Ottawa - To honor Canada Day, we discuss the Rolling Stone's definitive rundown of the greatest Canadian artists in the history of pop music. Is every single significant Canadian musician on here? Nope, and people aren't happy about it. GUEST: Lou Molinaro, Instructor at Durham College and the Harris Institute for Music

At the peak of his popularity in the 1980s, electronics retailer “Crazy Eddie” was better known for his screaming and gesticulating television commercials promoting “insane” prices than were then-Mayor Ed Koch and President Ronald Regan. Thousands of customers would flock to store openings, hoping to nab a free t-shirt and get a glimpse of the unhinged pitchman. Behind the scenes, however, Eddie Antar — the real Crazy Eddie, not the TV actor who portrayed him in the commercials — was a thieving, lying, cheat who defrauded just about everyone who ever trusted him, and was ultimately sentenced to eight years in prison. Veteran investigative reporter Gary Weiss has written a page-turning biographical exposé of Eddie Antar: Retail Gangster: The Insane, Real-Life Story of Crazy Eddie. This week Gary and host Dean Rotbart explore both the genius and insanity of Crazy Eddie, a business crook unlike any other in American history.

This week Sean and Katie chat about Rasheed Wallace's career-high scoring night back in 2001 before talking a little about the Oscars (did something happen?). Then, they dive into the concept of parity in the NBA, whether it actually exists right now, the factors that might be behind the open playing field we seem to be seeing at the moment, and whether there will be an adjustment back to a more stratified version of the league in due time. Then, in the Segment We're Trying Out This Week, we attempt to cast NBA players into some newly created side character roles in re-shot versions of the Best Picture nominees. All that, plus the Posters of the Week!

Ron Popeil is a famed American inventor, pitchman, television star, and the creator of the television “infomercial”. Ron is the quintessential rags to riches tale. At sixteen, Ron began to sell the very products his father's factory produced in the flea markets on Maxwell street in Chicago. By age 17, Popeil had amassed enough of a savings to move out on his own and setup a stand at the flagship Woolworth store in Chicago. He hawked his gadgets six days a week, twelve hours each day. Popeil's stand became an attraction with hundreds of people spending their lunch hours every day watching Ron's pitch.

In the offices of the most successful direct marketers in the world, when a promo isn’t making the money it should, you’ll hear most people speak these three words: “Call David Deutsch.” Because he’s the guy who can fix it. And, he’s our guest today. David’s promo’s have come close to pulling in $1 billion in sales. He’s written for Agora and the company formerly known as Boardroom (it’s now called Bottom Line Publications). David works with copy teams in the U.S. and around the world. He’s the author of Million Dollar Marketing Secrets and Think Inside The Box, two books I’m proud to say I have in my most important bookshelf (the one closest to my computer). I’m also proud that David’s a friend as well as a colleague. Today he’s going to talk about something you might have never thought had anything to do with copywriting. My goal, by the end of today’s show, is for you to see how it has EVERYTHING to do with copywriting. That topic is pitchmen. From Billy Mays and Ron Popeil to the carnival barker at the county fair, pitchmen — and pitchwomen — hold some secrets that make our copy better. And David knows more about them than you would ever imagine. Here’s what David talked about with us on this special show: - How he got into studying pitchmen. - Who pitchmen are and why what they do is so close to writing copy - Why he has studied pitchmen (and why you should, too) - With a pitchman, it’s NOT “all in the wrist” — it’s all in the VOICE - What pitchmen do all the time that the best copy does as well - Think word choice is important in copy? Take a close look at what pitchmen do! - How and when pitchmen reveal the product they’re pitching - How pitchmen MAXIMIZE the chance that every prospect will buy There’s so much good info in this show you may want to listen to it more than once!

Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle wants out of prison early, claiming federal prosecutors tricked him into pleading guilty to child pornography charges. Nancy Graces re-examines Fogle's case with psychologist Dr. Tiffany Sanders, crime scene investigator Sheryl McCollum, Heavy.com reporter Jennifer Dzikowski, and Crime Stories co-host Alan Duke. Investigators still don't know why a SUV filled with members of a Washington State family plunged off a California cliff on March 26, or how many of the Hart family's 6 adopted children were inside. Grace sorts through the evidence with psycho analyst Dr. Bethany Marshall, lawyer Anne Bremner, Juvenile Judge Ashley Willcott, and reporter Ninette Sosa.

In the mid-20th Century, a man named Robert LeFevre (pronounced Luh-FAVE ) created a small mountain academy just north of Colorado Springs called The Freedom School. The school, and his teachings, played an important role in the popularization of libertarianism in America. They also helped shape the minds of some of the the most powerful men in American industry and politics, not the least of which were Charles and David Koch, aka The Koch Brothers--two of the wealthiest men in the world. On this episode of Wish We Were Here we tell the nearly-forgotten story of LeFevre and his short-lived libertarian boot camp.

The post Episode #9 – Donald Trump Needs Some Accountability appeared first on DotComSecrets.com Blog - Weird Marketing Experiments That Increase Traffic, Conversions and Sales.... Want an idea for a business reality show that would actually be worth watching? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, everyone. This is Russell Brunson from DotComSecrets.com, and this is the “Marketing from Your Car” podcast. I'm on my way to the office right now, and I wanted to make you guys a podcast. I guess this is a bit of a rant, a little bit. Recently I've been watching TIVO'd episodes of my favorite shows [laughs], and I'm sure you guys know how it is. You record them all, and when you actually have the time then you watch one and knock it out. I just watched one of the most recent “Celebrity Apprentice” episodes. My first rant is that I wish they'd get rid of Celebrity Apprentice and go back to the real “Apprentice”, because that show was a lot better. But even with that, this is my real frustration with that show. If you guys ever watch it, each week they have two different teams. The teams get different tasks, and what's interesting is that the way they choose the winners is, basically Donald Trump – or they'll get a company, like they had Australian Gold Suntan Lotion on this the last one I was watching. They each get to make a commercial for the company, and then they pick the winner based on whose commercial they like more. As a direct response marketer, that drives me crazy, because it's not based on what converts more, or what makes you more money, it's based on one person's opinion. It makes me laugh, because we've been doing a lot of testing lately in our company, and most of the times, the test that I think is going to win, loses. It's really interesting. In fact, there's a site called WhichTestWon.com. It's really a fascinating site. Every day they give out different tests, and they show the “A” and the “B” – the split tests, and you get to vote on which one you think is going to win. Ninety percent of the time, we pick the wrong one. I'm somebody who's been in this business for a long time. I've had my head in this more than most people, and we still don't pick it right. What drives me crazy is that they base those tasks not on performance or on anything, it's based on which one we like better. If we were going to make a show that was actually legit and actually was a good show, they should do it like “Pitchman”. I don't know if anybody's ever seen Pitchman before. I believe Billy Mays passed away. That show was awesome. What they would do at the beginning of the show would be to pick five or six different products that they wanted to make infomercials for, and they'd narrow it down to two or three. They would show the process of making an infomercial and filming it and all that kind of stuff. Then what they did, and this is the cool part, is they'd actually take that infomercial, and they'd air it live. They'd air all of them. They'd give them a $20,000 test budget, and they'd test all three of them. Then they'd come back afterwards, and they would show the results. They would call each person. It was cool. They would call each person up on the phone and say, “Hey, we ran your show and [pauses] unfortunately the numbers didn't back it up. It's not going to be a winner,” or they'd call them up and say, “Hey, just so you know, we went three times over on the front end. You've got a winner. Congratulations, you'll be a millionaire within six months,” that kind of thing. It was, “That's awesome. That's exciting.” That's something to get motivated by versus, “Hey, Gary Busey made a commercial and he didn't have a hero shot in it, so he lost.” –“Seriously?

Who says a hero shot is going to get anything to convert better or make more money at all?” It just fascinates me, and so I just want all of us to be thinking about that. I don't know about you guys, but I'm addicted to ads. I'm addicted to watching what's happening on TV and on the radio. It's fun for me to watch, not because I care about the creative part of it, but because I care about what's going to work. What can I pull from that and use in my own advertising? We need to become accountable to our ads. If we're not, and we want to pull them and make a Donald Trump and just throw crap out there, we have no idea what's actually going to happen. I had a chance to go to a Super Conference, one of Dan Kennedy's Super Conferences, and they had a guy named – I think his name was Lenny Liebermann. He's one of the owners or the founders or partners – I'm not sure which, in – what's that company? They have the skincare stuff for night. That's funny. I'm going to blank out right now. It's a billion dollar brand. I can't remember what it is now. Anyway, it's all of this skincare. You can wash your face, and you get rid of acne and zits, and all of that kind of stuff, and I respect that company so much. But what's interesting about that is they are $1 billion brand, and he said, “We never will run any type of advertising where we can't track the ROI. Believe me, it's been so tempting at times, where in the playoffs they want you to rent the backboard and things like that, or they want you to buy an ad here and there. If we can't track the results, we will not spend money on it,” and that's why they've grown to a billion-dollar brand. They're one of the few brands that I actually respect, because they're doing it the right way. They are not like a lot of the brands out there that you see that have, “Here're our advertising budgets. We have $4 million for the year. Blow it on whatever you want,” which is how most of these guys' budgets work. That's how Burger King, McDonald's, all of those are. There's no accountability whatsoever. It's just, “Hey, let's spend some money on ads,” and that's just fascinating to me. I just want us all to realize that as direct response marketers, that's what matters – what converts better or not. It's not, “What do you like better, or what's prettier, or what does your mom or dad think is cool, or what Donald Trump thinks looks the best?” It's what actually is going to convert better when you put it out there in the marketplace. I think it would be a lot better show if that's how it ran – where everyone makes their ad. They run it, see who wins, and go from there. In fact, that's a good idea for a reality show. If any of you guys want to do that, that's the game plan – basically make an infomercial. Do the whole concept of getting two teams and having them each build an infomercial, run some media, and see which one wins. That would actually be a fascinating show. It would be fun to watch, because then you could dissect it. –“Why did this one win? Why is this one better?” As opposed to, “Oh, the executives thought this was cooler [laughs].” Anyway, that's my thoughts on it. If anyone wants to make that reality show, let me know. I'll be part of it. It would be awesome. It would be a lot of fun. That's it for today, guys. I'm at the office. I hope you guys enjoyed this, and please leave comments down below. We'd love to hear back if you like the show, or if you have any ideas or topics you want me to discuss on my drive in. We'll talk to you all soon.

Want an idea for a business reality show that would actually be worth watching? ---Transcript--- Hello, everyone. This is Russell Brunson from DotComSecrets.com, and this is the “Marketing from Your Car” podcast. I’m on my way to the office right now, and I wanted to make you guys a podcast. I guess this is a bit of a rant, a little bit. Recently I’ve been watching TIVO’d episodes of my favorite shows [laughs], and I’m sure you guys know how it is. You record them all, and when you actually have the time then you watch one and knock it out. I just watched one of the most recent “Celebrity Apprentice” episodes. My first rant is that I wish they’d get rid of Celebrity Apprentice and go back to the real “Apprentice”, because that show was a lot better. But even with that, this is my real frustration with that show. If you guys ever watch it, each week they have two different teams. The teams get different tasks, and what’s interesting is that the way they choose the winners is, basically Donald Trump – or they’ll get a company, like they had Australian Gold Suntan Lotion on this the last one I was watching. They each get to make a commercial for the company, and then they pick the winner based on whose commercial they like more. As a direct response marketer, that drives me crazy, because it’s not based on what converts more, or what makes you more money, it’s based on one person’s opinion. It makes me laugh, because we’ve been doing a lot of testing lately in our company, and most of the times, the test that I think is going to win, loses. It’s really interesting. In fact, there’s a site called WhichTestWon.com. It’s really a fascinating site. Every day they give out different tests, and they show the “A” and the “B” – the split tests, and you get to vote on which one you think is going to win. Ninety percent of the time, we pick the wrong one. I’m somebody who’s been in this business for a long time. I’ve had my head in this more than most people, and we still don’t pick it right. What drives me crazy is that they base those tasks not on performance or on anything, it’s based on which one we like better. If we were going to make a show that was actually legit and actually was a good show, they should do it like “Pitchman”. I don’t know if anybody’s ever seen Pitchman before. I believe Billy Mays passed away. That show was awesome. What they would do at the beginning of the show would be to pick five or six different products that they wanted to make infomercials for, and they’d narrow it down to two or three. They would show the process of making an infomercial and filming it and all that kind of stuff. Then what they did, and this is the cool part, is they’d actually take that infomercial, and they’d air it live. They’d air all of them. They’d give them a $20,000 test budget, and they’d test all three of them. Then they’d come back afterwards, and they would show the results. They would call each person. It was cool. They would call each person up on the phone and say, “Hey, we ran your show and [pauses] unfortunately the numbers didn’t back it up. It’s not going to be a winner,” or they’d call them up and say, “Hey, just so you know, we went three times over on the front end. You’ve got a winner. Congratulations, you’ll be a millionaire within six months,” that kind of thing. It was, “That’s awesome. That’s exciting.” That’s something to get motivated by versus, “Hey, Gary Busey made a commercial and he didn’t have a hero shot in it, so he lost.” –“Seriously? Who says a hero shot is going to get anything to convert better or make more money at all?” It just fascinates me, and so I just want all of us to be thinking about that. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m addicted to ads. I’m addicted to watching what’s happening on TV and on the radio. It’s fun for me to watch, not because I care about the creative part of it, but because I care about what’s going to work. What can I pull from that and use in my own advertising? We need to become accountable to our ads. If we’re not, and we want to pull them and make a Donald Trump and just throw crap out there, we have no idea what’s actually going to happen. I had a chance to go to a Super Conference, one of Dan Kennedy’s Super Conferences, and they had a guy named – I think his name was Lenny Liebermann. He’s one of the owners or the founders or partners – I’m not sure which, in – what’s that company? They have the skincare stuff for night. That’s funny. I’m going to blank out right now. It’s a billion dollar brand. I can’t remember what it is now. Anyway, it’s all of this skincare. You can wash your face, and you get rid of acne and zits, and all of that kind of stuff, and I respect that company so much. But what’s interesting about that is they are $1 billion brand, and he said, “We never will run any type of advertising where we can’t track the ROI. Believe me, it’s been so tempting at times, where in the playoffs they want you to rent the backboard and things like that, or they want you to buy an ad here and there. If we can’t track the results, we will not spend money on it,” and that’s why they’ve grown to a billion-dollar brand. They’re one of the few brands that I actually respect, because they’re doing it the right way. They are not like a lot of the brands out there that you see that have, “Here’re our advertising budgets. We have $4 million for the year. Blow it on whatever you want,” which is how most of these guys’ budgets work. That’s how Burger King, McDonald’s, all of those are. There’s no accountability whatsoever. It’s just, “Hey, let’s spend some money on ads,” and that’s just fascinating to me. I just want us all to realize that as direct response marketers, that’s what matters – what converts better or not.
