BIO: Bryan Kramer is a renowned business strategist, global keynote speaker, executive trainer and coach, investor, two-time bestselling author, and Forbes contributor.STORY: Bryan decided to expand his business, but the growth snowballed out of control to the point where he traveled 200 days a year and missed out on family time. Being on the road too much also saw him develop type two diabetes. Only after his 11-year-old son pointed out the horrible life he was living did Bryan decide to quit it all.LEARNING: Relationships carry us through the highs, the mid-levels, and the lows. First, look at what you need today and then how you can serve others. “Relationships, I believe, is the thing that carries us through the highs, the mid-levels, and lows. I will never stop being a fight for relationships and being human, especially right now.”Bryan Kramer Guest profileBryan Kramer is a renowned business strategist, global keynote speaker, executive trainer and coach, investor, two-time bestselling author, and Forbes contributor.As President and co-owner of PureMatter, a Silicon Valley global marketing agency since 2001, and CEO of H2H Companies, he sparked the Human-to-Human “H2H” global movement that sets out to humanize business through simpler communication, empathy, and celebrating our imperfections.His TED Talk featured a TED “first” – allowing mobile devices during the event to illustrate his belief that even a small inspirational share holds the power to change the world for the better.Bryan has spoken all over the world, over 200 times at global companies including Mastercard, L‘oreal Paris, NASA, GoDaddy, Harvard University, Charles Schwab, SXSW, International Culinary Institute, Verizon, Dell, NFL, and Hawaii Lodging & Tourism, to name a few.Worst investment everBryan decided to expand his business to more than 10 people and then expanded into a 6,000-square-foot space and later to a 10,000-square-foot space. He continued to increase his employees and hired around the United States. Bryan was looking at fame and power from speaking, keynoting, creating a bigger business, more money, and more clients. It was just a never-ending process, and it got to the point where Bryan was speaking on the road. He'd written two best-selling books, given a TED talk, and was speaking on the road. Bryan was traveling for 200 days a year, eating food around the world because it was so good. But he blew up and became morbidly obese. All of a sudden, he got type two diabetes. His business growth had snowballed into something I had no control over anymore.The worst part was missing out on family time. Bryan had two young kids at the time. One day, he went home, and his 11-year-old son complained about not seeing him anymore, complained about his drinking, and called him fat. This hit Bryan right in the heart. A week later, when he returned from another trip, he told his wife he wanted to reverse everything.

Jeannette is joined by Bryan Kramer, Proud Father of Human-to-Human: H2H. Executive Coach, Keynote Speaker, Investor, Virtual & In-Person Global Keynote Speaker, CEO of 2 Companies, and TEDTalker, for a discussion about how he achieved the success he's found. They discuss creating a more human brand, focusing on impact before why, the impact of AI and how to improve your public speaking. KEY TAKEAWAYS People make purchasing decisions based on emotion, which is why you must connect with them as a human. Keeping things simple makes it easier for people to see and understand what you offer and for you to deliver outstanding service. Be honest, share your challenges and imperfections. People face the similar issues and more readily connect with others who are open in this way. Be clear about the impact you want to have. Let go of who you think you are or are told to be. Replace it with who you really are. BEST MOMENTS 'Create the most human brand' 'The thing that we buy the most of is emotion' 'Put the person first' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

The old ways of marketing your brand and selling your product are over. Brands need consumers to survive, but they have long disregarded the human side of business. Humans crave connection, and are not so easily reached by a catchy slogan or product description filled with industry words. Since the pandemic, people are now even less willing to spend time and money on a brand that doesn't know them. Humans want to trust, feel understood, and bond over shared flaws. In terms of sales, we relate to simplicity, empathy, imperfection, and intimacy. How does this translate into business practices? Bryan Kramer is on the show today to share how aiming for authenticity and creating moments that matter can give your brand that competitive edge.

From South by Southwest to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics to HubSpot's Inbound, events of all types and for all industries are affected. SAP's annual user conference, SAPPHIRE NOW, hosts more than 40,000 customers, prospects, partners, and influencers in Orlando. The original conference was scheduled for May and nearly completely planned when the US lockdown occurred. Within six weeks, SAP had reframed the event and created a snackable, interactive online experience. The results were remarkable. Two leaders behind the scenes of the major shift, Ursula Ringham and Rachel Miller, were tasked with the challenge of finding the connective tissue for the experience without losing the opportunities for business. Our Guests Ursula Ringham leads the Global Influencer Marketing team in collaborating with the entire SAP product portfolio in creating innovative content with trusted external voices to build brand awareness and create sales.

As Ursula talks about at 11:00, "It wasn't a huge change but we had to pivot with how we tell the story." For a virtual event, keep in mind who your audience is and how they will consume the content. As Rachel puts it at 14:00, "No one is going to sit through a 40-minute, talking head keynote to kick off your event. Think about how your content can be "snackable," easily-digestible, with great takeaways." Ursula and Rachel talked about the excellent video work provided by their two hired producers. You can reach them here: Sam Juno Jon Lieberman Issues to consider when creating a virtual event Speakers - how do they present on camera for a virtual audience? Topics - how do they fit in with a more segmentable, micro-casting opportunity? Production - what do you want the event to look like on screen? Connective tissue - what ties the experience together—digital hosts? [Ursula goes into great detail about finding hosts to tie the event together at 16:30] Platform - what software can manage the registrations, video streaming, recording storage, visitor interaction, VIP connectivity, and social engagement? Interactivity - how will you facilitate connection—breakout rooms, chatbots, information exchange? Budget - if transitioning from live to virtual, reallocate the funds along the lines needed to produce a great event.   Was the Virtual Event of Lesser or Greater Value? We were able to make a lot more noise. - Ursula Ringham SAPPHIRE grew from 40,000 to over 100,000 attending. The travel barrier was eliminated. Those curious could sample SAP and the event without great risk. SAP grew from a primarily US-based audience to a truly global audience in a matter of weeks. We have this virtual global audience now.

You know how to “hustle.” Everyone's talking about it — TV, the internet, books … content everywhere is reminding us to take part of the “rise, grind, and make it happen” mentality. But is there a difference between hard work and hustle, and is this “hustle mindset” really helping business leaders and employees achieve their goals? On this episode the #FlipMyFunnel podcast, our #TakeoverTuesday host Carlos Hidalgo interviews Bryan Kramer. Bryan is an author, a speaker, a coach, and President and CEO of PureMatter, an #H2H company. Bryan takes us through his life's journey, which led him to a 30-person agency, before he purposely toppled everything and started over, with just his wife. He tossed out the “hustle” mindset, and started approaching everyday with his true goals in mind. The result? He got his health back, his family back, and he actually makes more money.

In this episode, Bryan Kramer talks about the evolution of Marketing and how all of the things that used to work now work more! After starting and successfully running, PureMatter, a global leader in Digital, Social Media and Content Marketing, Bryan discovered he needed more in his life and he started making video content, writing blogs, and doing interviews like this. Bryan’s philosophy is that today’s market is based on #H2H (Human to Human) interaction, not B2B or B2C. Here are the top 3 things that entrepreneurs should focus on to attract and retain customers: Personalization - really understanding your potential client. Understanding so much that you are personalizing the approach for them rather than grouping them into a category. Don’t be salezy, be helpful - the more helpful we are the more it is going to create trust. Engage - engagement means that you are creating more relationships which will eventually create more abundance. Take a listen and find out Bryan’s advice on how to build personal relationships with your clients or prospects in a market overrun with digital interaction.

Sharelogy explores the history, art and science of sharing, and illustrates why sharing is what gives us a unique competitive advantage as individuals and brands. It is meant for entrepreneurs and marketers who want to make their content more valuable, shareable, and for individuals who want to understand the power of sharing to grow their personal brand.

In Episode 009 I got to jam with the "Zen of Marketing" as labeled by Forbes, Mr. Bryan Kramer. He is also a TEDtalk Keynote Speaker, Author of Shareology and Human to Human, as well as the CEO of a company called Pure Matter. PODCAST EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS These are some of the major takeaways that you should take note of from this episode:   Business has always been human-to-human. We do business with humans and companies seem to forget that quite often. Companies need to focus on humanizing experiences. What marketing was 10 years ago, today, and next 1-3 years will be completely different. However, at the epic center of it all are human experiences. AI, AR, VR will change those human experiences. Human touch is essential to everything. Including business and marketing. Technology will not supplement the human touch but rather strengthen it. Experiences such as Disney are things we remember as humans. Companies and brands need to focus on establishing such experiences with their customers. Losing a client is a hard pill to swallow. Getting a new one is much harder than retaining an existing one. You lose an opportunity but to retain the client focus on engagement with them and create unique experiences. Being human is quite fundamental. Everyone, including B2B and B2C should have access to the customer. Brands should be engaging with a customer more often and enforce a more 360 experience. Customer service is in essence the new form or marketing. Social media allows for a more human experience. Something that brands really need to pay stronger attention to and recognize of importance. Attention and superior time for people should be more seamless rather than shutting them off. Think the Disney experience. Delivering a better human experience can be one of the biggest marketing assets for companies. THE BIZ GRIND YOUTUBE SHOW The Biz Grind YouTube Show is a daily vlog where I talk about whatever but mostly a snapshot of my day-to-day shenanigans and a strong emphasis on entrepreneurship, business, or marketing.

Today we join bestselling author and TEDx speaker Bryan Kramer to discuss the power of sharing to drive customer engagement and create lasting human connections. Viral content and the art of Shareology From sharing content to sharing rides, humans are hard-wired for sharing. But before we can share content and ideas customers will want to engage with, we must first understand why people share things in the first place. How does it relate to our brands? How does it relate to our customers’ goals? Bryan Kramer has it down to a science. Bryan gives us some valuable insights from his extensive research into the science of sharing, and how it has changed over the generations. It’s still different for everyone, so beware the tendency to assume all members of a given segment or generation share and interact with content the same way! As humans, Bryan explains, “we want to connect in ways that stands out. We want to be a part of something greater than ourselves.” The best brands strike a great balance between automation and personalization to stay efficient while forging mutually-rewarding relationships. Before you share anything else, please consider the four common elements to highly-engaging content that goes viral. Brian lays them all out for us and compares some real-life success stories from brands that get it. About our guest Bryan is an author of the recently released bestselling book There is No More B2B or B2C: It’s Human to Human #H2H. Bryan is a Social Business Strategist and CEO of PureMatter where he’s led his agency to consistent growth over the last 13 years earning a spot as one of Silicon Valley’s fastest growing private companies by the Silicon Valley Business Journal. Bryan recently delivered a TED Talk for TED@IBM. He has also been listed as the 43rd most talked about marketer by global senior marketers in a report study via LeadTail, The Top 50 Social CEOs on Twitter in the world by the Huffington Post, and was identified as a Top 25 Influencer to follow by Forbes.

Technology continues to evolve and make our lives busier and more complicated, but it can never replace true human connection–our fundamental need to share information, stories, and emotions. Sharelogy explores the history, art and science of sharing, and illustrates why sharing is what gives us a unique competitive advantage as individuals and brands. It is meant for entrepreneurs and marketers who want to make their content more valuable, shareable, and for individuals who want to understand the power of sharing to grow their personal brand. Bryan Kramer is one of the world's foremost leaders in the art and science of sharing, and has been credited with shaping the #H2H human business movement in marketing and social. He is the President and CEO of PureMatter a content, social and digital marketing agency in San Jose, CA.  With over 300,000 social fans and followers, and an intimate understanding of the intricacies and interworking of both social technologies and social behaviors, Bryan is both a practitioner and authority on the subject.

From Agency Partner to Social Media Influencer What do you do when the agency you helped create is up and running and you realize you want to do more in the world? Well, if you are Bryan Kramer, you seek your next challenge by writing a few books (H2H and Shareology) to help connect others. With a TED talk under his belt, Bryan has embraced his Inner Focker and asked the big question, "What can you share with the world to help change it?" A natural connector with an easy laugh, Bryan is all about being more human. And I couldn't agree more with his message. Join us April 21 when I chat with Bryan about his journey to social influencer, embracing his inner Focker (and why you should, too) and lessons he's learned along the way about the human need to connect and share.

Bryan Kramer CEO of PureMatter reveals how the content that you share builds credibility and impacts others' perception of you and/or your brand. Sharing is one of the most prominent aspects of social selling (excuse me, social helping) and is the focus of Bryan's new book, Shareology. If you've previously downloaded Social Business Journal Volume 3: Digital Transformation, you've already read about how Bryan says social selling should be called social helping. Listen to this podcast to hear an example of how social helping connected Bryan with someone who became a major client and how it can ultimately create new business for your brand, too.

I was introduced to today's guest (#39!), Amy Rueda, through my good friends Courtney and Bryan Kramer. We were fortunate enough to record this episode live, in the Purematter office "studio." Thanks Courtney and Bryan for the space (and the coffee!). Amy's passion: Being the voice of change for safe beauty. In case you missed any of the previous episodes, you can catch them here by visiting the Living Your Passion landing page. Are you ready to learn more about Amy's passion for being the voice of change for safe beauty? During this episode ... We chatted about how we first met ... as I try to do with all guests! Amy shared how she defines "safe beauty." Amy was very open about her fight with cancer. Amy talked about an event - in her case, cancer - led her to uncover her passion. She also gave a great definition about passion (or her "truth") as she called it. Amy told us about her personal truth ... she admits that she actually gave herself cancer! Amy shared her story about how she started her company, Authentic Skin, and why she was able to turn her passion into a living. We talked a lot about the "quick fix" instead of preventative options. We talked quite a bit (too much!?) about deodorant! You don't want to miss this part! In the #NotSoSecretSecret portion of the show, we talked about WEEDS! More About Amy Amy is the founder and creative director at Authentic Skin Remedies plant based skincare. Learn more about Amy on her About.me page.
