Podcasts about scary close

Welcome to episode #981 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Donald Miller is one of the most influential voices in modern marketing - a bestselling author, business strategist, and the creative force behind StoryBrand (a framework that has reshaped how leaders and organizations communicate). In our conversation, Donald breaks down the timeless power of story and why clarity - not cleverness - is the most underrated competitive advantage in business today. His new book, Building a StoryBrand 2.0 - Clarify Your Message So Customers Will Listen, expands on his original seven-part storytelling framework with sharper tools and practical applications for the modern marketer. Donald is also the author of several bestselling books, including the spiritual memoir Blue Like Jazz, the personal development reflection Scary Close, and A Million Miles In A Thousand Years (loved that one!), alongside business classics like Marketing Made Simple, Business Made Simple, Coach Builder, How to Grow Your Small Business, which have collectively shaped how individuals and organizations think about story, purpose, and growth. We explore why curiosity is the secret starting point in every great customer journey, how AI is accelerating both efficiency and confusion in marketing, and why simple messages are often the hardest to write. Donald also opens up about the creative process behind writing, how to chase ideas worth finishing, and why businesses fail not from a lack of creativity - but from poor communication. Whether you're leading a brand, launching a product, or refining your personal pitch, this conversation is a masterclass in messaging. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 55:49.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 696 How did we as a society buy into the illusion of authority? Justin Nault + Abel James join Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 696, to expose how health propaganda, corporate interests, and the illusion of authority have fueled a crisis driven by processed foods and seed oils disguised as nutrition, and how their journeys of personal growth led to finding purpose, radical authenticity, and the power of self-expression.

Donald Miller is back on the show for the third time. Don is one of my all time favorite authors, his memoirs such as A Million Miles In A Thousand Years and Scary Close were literal life changers for me. As you’ll hear in this show, Donald started out as a pure writer. But to get his messages out he had to learn to run a stellar business. Today he pulls in tens of millions and has turned his attention to helping other people get their messages and art out by learning business. Before coming on he said, “I believe everyone deserves access to a life-changing business education." And as you’ll hear he believes his methodology with his new Business Made Simple platform is more valuable than an ivy league MBA. And I’ll tell you, it’s impressive. As he did so brilliantly in his earlier books with a personal message, he has boiled down and refined the essence of business in a way I’ve not seen before.

Brand script 2. One liner 3. Landing page 4. Lead generation PDF 5. Email list Don said that the more of these you put into place the better. The whole concept is helping your audience understand you. Don rebuilt his name, audience and influence by developing and putting this plan into place after losing everything he’d made from selling his first successful book. BIG IDEA 2 (5:48)  – Three stages of relationship The three stages of relationship are curiosity, enlightenment and commitment. Curiosity is when people wonder who you are and how you can help them. They are curious about ‘what’s in it for me?’ Curiosity leads to enlightenment on how the product helps them. This stage is about educating your potential customers to reduce confusion. Because confused people are not going to buy your product or service. Enlightening / educating also helps build trust and influence.  The lead generation PDF stage of the marketing plan is generally when you start the enlightenment phase of relationships, which is education. The final part is when the person is ready to make a decision and ready to commit. This could be providing their email address to join a mailing list or buying your product to solve their problem. Many businesses are still starting with the ‘why’ while this marketing model starts with the ‘what’ and the ‘how’. It is how you pique someone’s curiosity by talking about the difference you want to make to them and their business. BIG IDEA 3 (9:22)  – Execute the plan More execution equals more results. There are examples in the book showing that execution of this approach works with both B2C and B2B business models. Don also shares how people who applied the method more, got bigger results because all of the elements work together instead of cherry picking from the five steps. If you don’t put them into place, you don’t consistently stick to it. You can use them not just on your website but also on social media channels and profiles. But as with anything, if you don’t execute the plan, it’s not going to work.

"The knowledge that we are loved will never peel away our masks or heal our wounds. “Knowing about love” and “experiencing love” are not the same thing." (The Cure, by John Lynch, Bruce McNicol, and Bill Thrall) Isn't it weird that "knowing about fear" and "experiencing fear" are almost always the same thing? If we know there's a reason to fear, we will. But love? Just because there's "a reason to love," doesn't seem to open the faucet. We hold back...like there's a love shortage and we need to conserve the good stuff. We restrain ourselves...like we might risk and waste. In our gut, we know love is sacred. As long as we stay afraid of love, we will be slaves to fear. In this episode, we share eight things we've discovered about love--and why we keep trusting it.  We're learning to live without fear--and LOVEISFEARLESS.com wants to help you choose love, too. We offer these TAKE AWAYS in this last episode (#66) titled the BRAVE LOVE podcast.  Love doesn't put a rubber stamp on fear and hate and call it "good."  Love has the power to transform fear and hate, and it will when we trust it.  Love is always ready to resolve those things...that it loves us in spite of. Love isn't behavior modification. Love is response modification.  Too many times, we don't risk responding with love because we think we have to have all the answers.  The answer we always need first is the love that erases our fear. We can't build love banks like we build food banks.  We can't donate love like we donate blood.  We can't give away love like our outgrown clothes.  LOVE is like oxygen, and the only tanks it can be delivered in are human beings. This podcast will continue with a new name. Join us for future episodes on the LOVE IS FEARLESS podcast.  Remember, together--there is great hope.

Vulnerability. Roll your eyes all you want, but you know you have been avoiding it like the plague. In this podcast, we are breaking down not only the fact that you should be vulnerable but how and what does that look like in your relationships whether that's with your go-to people, your close friends, or even your acquaintances. We share how sometimes vulnerability can look like splashing around in a kiddie pool, or it looks like jumping into the ocean amongst the unknown. Either way, we dive into our own experiences of vulnerability and address how we have been becoming a little more vulnerable with a “mature” twist. Tune in and see if you might need a little more vulnerability in your life!   Follow us here: https://www.instagram.com/thematurepodcast/ Brene Brown: https://brenebrown.com/ Scary Close by Donald Miller: https://www.amazon.com/Scary-Close-Dropping-Finding-Intimacy/dp/078521318X Boundaries by Henry Cloud & John Townsend: https://www.amazon.com/Boundaries-When-Take-Control-Your/dp/0310247454

This is a special episode of the bol.com Techlab Podcast. It's recorded on at our own Tech Conference the bol.com spaces summit. Directly after Jim gave his presentation about 'scary close to fully autonomous teams at Onefootball' we interviewed him. We had a great presentation at Spaces Summit with the Title: “scary close to fully autonomous teams”.What this episode coversWithin bol.com we strive for autonomous teams because we believe that we will go faster, are more agile and we have more fun. But it is also great to hear from people outside bol.com how they perceive this. So, we are happy to introduce our external guest to you. As he worked in bol.com for 5 years but went over to another company end 2018 he is the person to ask for reflection. Time to introduce him to you.Please bear with us, we set-up our mobile studio equipment the best we could, but as we were on this great location, you might hear some background noise and disturbance.Happy Listening and let us know what you think, mailto: techlab@bol.comGuestsJim van der Waal; Product Manager at Onefootball in Berlin. Before that, he started as Information Analyst in 2014 at bol.com and built a broad experience in roles like Scrum Master, IT Project Manager and Product Owner – presented “Life at Onefootball: scary close to fully autonomous teams”.NotesWe discuss the move from Jim to Onefootball in Berlin and if he already feels included.After this introduction, we dive into the why of autonomous teams at Onefootball. Jim explains which specialities/roles work together in the teams. Already at bol.com he was interested in the Lean Startup Principles and now he explains how we recognize these within Onefootball, already 200 people in total, 55 million downloads of the app and 11 million active customers worldwide.We take some time to discuss and ask about the way of working. Several items during the presentation got our attention. Validating ideas, the discovery funnel, how people get emotionally attached to ideas, maintaining small backlogs and not spend time on investigation of 20-30 epics.The way Onefootball deals with the fact that there are too many good ideas? Decide within the team.A great one Jim explained: focus on output versus outcome. Output focused means, for instance, focusing on the story points, focusing on the outcome the customer value.The setup of SRE is discussed.Jim also discusses some themes like “the technical landscape shouldn't describe your customer experience”.Interested in the video of Jim's talk during spaces summit?

Are you emotionally fit?  We dig into this, a topic directly related to how everyone perceives you, especially those closest to you. It is something you are acutely aware of in regards to everyone you know, though you may not really be conscious of it. What you will find out is how critical this root issue is to you very well being and overall success. I’ve heard of EQ for years, but never like this. The ability to understand and healthily deal with your own emotions, as well as others is something we are all flourishing or suffering from. A leading expert in this area is Miles Adcox, CEO of Onsite. Miles runs Onsite, an internationally-acclaimed emotional wellness lifestyle brand that delivers life-changing personal growth workshops, inspiring content, leadership retreats, and emotional treatment. I had heard about Miles but didn’t know him first hand. I happened to start reading Donald Miller’s book “Scary Close”, a memoir, and right off in the book he enrolls himself in an Onsite retreat with Miles. That had me hooked. From there I started researching emotional fitness. The question is, where is your emotional health and how is it helping or hurting you? Let’s hear from the master, Miles Adcox.

In order to make lasting changes in your life, you need to know the story and themes that run beneath the surface. The Enneagram reveals what story you are programmed with and how a self-limiting narrative drives a lot of thoughts, actions, and behaviors.
