In this powerful episode, Granger Smith sits down with Emeal “E.Z.” Zwayne, president of Living Waters, to unpack a riveting testimony of redemption—from a violent youth in gang life to becoming a leading voice in evangelism. E.Z. reflects on his deep admiration for Ray Comfort (his now father-in-law), their Middle Eastern backgrounds, and the unifying power of the gospel. The conversation shifts into his passion for purity and spiritual warfare as he introduces his book Fight Like a Man. With striking biblical insight, E.Z. offers men a tactical, grace-filled strategy for battling pornography, summed up in the memorable acrostic “NOPE: Not One Peek Even.” Through the “Six Cs” framework—Creation, Cross, Crisis, Crown, Crowd, and Christ—he calls men to fight with eternal purpose and deep love for God, family, and the church.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Though he built a career working for some of America’s most giant corporations — including Coca-Cola, Home Depot, and David’s Bridal — Tracy Brinkmann has always been an entrepreneur at heart. It’s a love that goes back to his school days in Copperas Cove, Texas. From steering the supply and demand of pencils in his grade school classroom to selling art inspired by his father’s military career to pinstriping cars and working on stereos alongside a high school buddy, Tracy always had his hand in a side hustle growing up. But his true calling as an entrepreneur was, for a little while, put on hold while he served in the military and, as a new dad, embarked on his corporate career afterward. Like so many entrepreneurs before him, though, he knew he couldn’t stay in the corporate world forever. “There’s always that thing in the back of your head going, ‘But I’m just not happy,’” he says. “It’s just not me. It’s okay for a while, and then you’re like, ‘Okay, I got this. Now what?’... You’re just not fulfilled.” Working in Corporate America did give Tracy plenty of experience, however, in coaching and mentoring others. And today, this coaching has become his full-time job and life’s mission. As a business and success coach and host of the Driven Dark Horse Entrepreneurs podcast, Tracy gives other entrepreneurs the tools they need to kickstart business ideas and, as he puts it, “discover the joy of getting a dollar for something they’re going to be doing anyway.” In this episode of True North Man, Paul and Tracy talk about why being passionate about your side hustle pays, the importance of picking the right partners, and some of Tracy’s most significant pieces of advice to new entrepreneurs. What You’ll Learn: Why Tracy believes in following the “Six Cs of Entrepreneurship.” The questions he recommends asking yourself to find clarity and get your business idea off the ground How to approach reinvesting in your business, gaining traction organically, and balancing multiple bank accounts And much more! Favorite Quote: “It’s all about building yourself a plan of action and then holding yourself accountable. You have to be committed to your success. This is usually where the help of a trusted partner or a coach will come in because there's a point where we'll be nice to ourselves — a lot nicer than someone else will be, right? And maybe you need a pat on the back, and a coach can do that. Or maybe you need a smack upside the head.” — Tracy Brinkmann Connect With Tracy: Dark Horse Entrepreneur Podcast LinkedIn Instagram Facebook How To Get Involved: Discover all that Paul Beam has to offer at www.true-north-ministries.com Enjoyed the episode?

On today’s show I am going to outline five lessons I learned at the She Podcasts LIVE conference that are relevant to freelance business owners. She Podcasts LIVE was an inaugural conference for the She Podcasts community, which started as a Facebook group that now has 14,000 members—all women podcasters. There’s also a She Podcasts podcast hosted by co-creators Elsie Escobar and Jessica Kupferman. While I learned a bunch of podcast strategies and tips at the conference, there were also tips and reminders that can be helpful for all freelance business owners, no matter what service you provide. Lesson #1 is brought to you by Erica Mandy, host of the very successful podcast the NewsWorthy. Erica is an experienced broadcast journalist who quit her job and launched a daily 10-minute news podcast just a few years ago. In her session at She Podcasts, she offered up the The Six Cs of Success. No. 1 is confidence. Erica says you have to have the confidence that you are resourceful and that you can figure out the solutions. She posed the question: What is the traffic jam in your business? We ask this of our clients, but we should also ask it of ourselves: What is the problem you’re trying to solve? This also reminds me of the book I’m reading right now: Marie Forleo’s “Everything Is Figureoutable.” Lesson #2 was also from Erica’s list: consistency. As Erica said: You have to take it seriously when no one is looking. It takes a lot of work to work ON your business, not just IN your business. Are we doing the marketing and networking and analyzing and planning when no one is looking? Lesson #3 comes from Phylecia Jones, creator of iFind You Close, a research company that helps people find speaking gigs. During a period of time when Phylecia was trying to get more people to pay attention to her and her podcast—which was called Ask the Budgetologist—she asked herself every morning: Who needs to know my name today? Think about it: Don’t you want clients and potential clients to immediately think of you when they need a freelancer that provides the services you do? Almost all of my work is from referrals. That means people know my name. My clients think of me when they have work, but they also think to recommend me to others. Lesson #4 is a combo. It’s spend more time with LinkedIn. At the She Podcasts conference, Karen Yankovich, CEO of Uplevel Media, presented a stellar presentation on how to maximize LinkedIn. A few quick tips: Put LinkedIn on your phone and log in and save the password, so you can more quickly respond to LinkedIn outreach. If you spot a green dot on someone’s profile photo that means they are on LinkedIn now, so you should contact them no. Make sure the keywords that pop up on Your Dashboard (on your profile page) are the keywords you want to be known for. Lesson #5: Take care of yourself. I’ve mentioned before how much I love conferences but also that I’m a complete introvert. I have to prepare myself for all that networking and people time. While I loved the overall She Podcasts vibe, a few sessions started out with bold interaction, including describing our podcasts to a stranger in a superhero voice. I implore all conference speakers and meeting planners: I know you’re looking to make conferences more interactive, but please consider introverts. If you are doing some sort of interactive thing, you need to put that in the session description and you need to say it up front when people walk in the room. Please. As for individuals, You need to take care of yourself in all situations. There’s a balance between opening yourself up to new experiences and taking care of your own needs. This may mean walking out if you are uncomfortable, saying no, skipping sessions to relax alone in your hotel room. In your business, this means structuring your business around what works best for your productivity but also your mental health. It could mean not taking calls after work hours. Not working on weekends. Saying no to a project with glaring red flags. Saying no to volunteer activities because you’re overwhelmed. Notice how a lot of these examples are simply saying no. YOU are the owner and creator of your business. YOU are in charge. You don’t want to put off the vibe that you’re desperate and will do ANYTHING for a client or to accept a project. It needs to be the right fit for YOU. So, take care of yourself.

As an entrepreneur, when you want to transform peoples’ lives, connecting with new clients and converting your ideal client has everything to do with messaging. You can have the most amazing, powerful, life-transformative service, but if you cannot get your client to understand the value in that service, they will not buy. As an entrepreneur, it is your duty to learn this messaging piece so you can impact all the people you are meant to serve in the world. If copywriting (your words that attract and sell to your clients, not to be mistaken with copyrighting to legally protect your work ;) ) sounds a bit daunting to you, then today’s podcast is meant for you! My guest today on the Epic Success Podcast is the super talented copywriter, Sara Anna Powers. She helped me with my copy as I transitioned my business online and she is a copy specialist. She is sharing her Six Cs step-by-step framework to take your client from connection to conversion and make you amazing at copywriting. So if you like a good step-by-step framework that makes things simple and effective, Sara is gold when it comes to helping you create magnetic messaging! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “It’s so important that we speak the language that our customers understand.” The best way to speak the language of your customer is to connect. Get on the phone. Ask questions. Their answers to those questions, when used on your sales page, makes your ideal client feel instantly connected. Listen in to hear all the great ideas Sara Anna shares for quality content through connection. [7:57] “People only care about you to the extent that you are going to help them move forward.” When you’re in the marketplace, running businesses, charging people money for services and products, we’re not pro bono. Your potential clients are there to get results for their own lives and businesses. It’s on us to communicate that we can help them do that. [14:52] “I really believe that contrast is the piece that holds people back from really having copy that connects.” Contrast creates click-worthy copy that your customer can’t resist. Contrast is the piece that takes people into their world of pain and then contrasts it with your “paradise of possibility.” You do your clients a service by reminding them of their pain and then painting the picture of what your service or product would make possible. [20:07] Sara generously shares all 6 Cs of her Copy That Converts framework in this interview. So many amazing copy tips that will bring you so much value! You don’t want to miss listening to the full episode. Make sure to connect with Sara Anna Powers on Instagram & Facebook and grab her FREE Stellar Sales Page framework! When you put this framework into practice, we’d love to see your magnetic copy! Tag @SaraAnnaPowers & @DrShannonIrvine on Instagram so we can see how you’ve made it your own!
