He offers coaching, group coaching, professional training. He does a lot. And best part, he has some stories he wants to tell. Brett, welcome. Brett [00:02:19]: Thank you, Peter. It's great. Now, I think I first met you in 2006 at Blog World. Peter Shankman [00:02:26]: Yeah, it's been a while. We've known each other for quite some time. It's great to have you here. It's great to finally have you on the podcast. Give us 30 seconds about you. And I know that you have a bunch of stories you want to share with us. Brett [00:02:37]: Sure. Add first, real quick shout out to Skylight. My brother and I got that for our parents a few years ago and great gift for parents and other people who love to see the family photos and get excited when you load them in there. Peter Shankman [00:02:54]: That was their original product. The Skylight frame was the original product. The calendar www.skylightcal.com came next, which does mostly the same thing. Peter Shankman [00:03:00]: You still show the photos, but it also has a calendar on it. And I love that one for my daughter. Brett [00:03:03]: Cool  Peter Shankman [00:03:04]: Awesome. Brett [00:03:05]: Yeah. ADHD so I'll try to make it short. I guess the thing I would share about my story is I didn't get diagnosed until a few years ago, but about 20 years ago had a nephew on Ritalin and his mom's a psychologist and she said, hey, you might want to try this. And I did. And I didn't want to be on meds my whole life, so I didn't do much about it. But when I took it, I took it on a Sunday and in 4 hours got more done than I got done in a week. And I was like, oh my gosh. People's brains like, do this. And I know you've heard this story of your time. I've known for a long time. But then there was a point where I needed to get diagnosed, which a lot of folks part of it was to stay married and to figure out everything else than wasn't working. ADHD diagnosis and understanding that really helped to understand where things were so that we had a new place to create agreements together and build relationship, which is what I've now been working with people with for their careers as well as their personal lives. My life was all over the place and not planned and just a lot of luck and weird things. I became a DJ at college radio station 17. Then I was a music director and the program director started. I was a club DJ and had a mobile DJ company in college, all of that. One thing ADHD wise, that's weird about that is in high school I got asked by someone I'd known for a while, like, hey, do you want to be a cheerleader? And this other guy in the class the asked too. And I was like, oh, I don't know. But the teacher doing it had been one of my favorite teachers. I'm like, okay, these guys from the college are showing a team now since we get it. So I was a DJ at the punk rock radio station while I was a cheerleader at the high school, and then I was the vice president of a fraternity while I was the program director of the punk rock radio station, which made no sense to other people. But I just did what felt good and what seemed interesting and than just led me into a career in the music industry that I didn't plan. And that was great. So I was in the music industry. Peter Shankman [00:05:18]: That's classic ADHD. I mean you realize that's classic ADHD I'm going to do what feels good and all of a sudden have a career. Brett [00:05:25]: Yeah. And felt weird and it didn't make sense. And the whole time I had anxiety during the career because in hindsight, with the diagnosis, I can realize, oh, this is another reason why I gave up a natural position for a regional. And I moved from La. To Boulder, Colorado, because I could have bosses in La. And New York, and I was on planes all the time, which now I know. ADHD we love to be in motion. And you, with your books and other people know we think better. We get centered when we're in motion. And I wasn't having to go into an office every day and feel awkward and weird and trying to navigate the politics and the things that I couldn't scan because our brains are more empathetic and we're not really into those things. I'm ADHD I'm dumping all over the place with this. So career in the music industry when I left that realized it wasn't the ladder that I wanted to be on started a digital marketing company in the early 2000s was Blogging when that first came out. That's how I ended up meeting you at Blog World. Just got into social media early which was the main reason why I built community. In hindsight I realized I'm a community builder and I did it with music, I did it online. Then when I moved to Seattle ten years ago, I ended up doing it with the tech community and I realized that I'm a connector. I like to help people. It's one thing that made me resonate with you when I first met you and other weird thing when I was in Boulder, I left school for the record industry went back and finished my degree while I was doing 14 state territory and realized I could keep going. So I went continued with my master's degree. It wasn't actually at Cu, it was at Europa University which was founded by a Tibetan Buddhist. Just happened to be there. Somebody asked me to be on student council. And the one six month term I did happened to be when they had, after 15 years, gotten the Dalai Lama to come to Denver and the did a big thing at the Pepsi Center, but he came to the school. So I actually had a private audience with the Dalai Lama. Again, all this is like luck. And following ADHD and even speaking at the White House, I sat in the audience of New Tech Boulder for six years with 400 people a month. And when I moved to Seattle, I couldn't believe nobody had done it. The formula started after 911 in New York with the founders of Meetup.com had created New York Tech Meetup, which is still going strong and people new York, right? So people are there and then they go other places. So somebody had left in Boulder and I had already been in San Francisco for twelve years. I couldn't believe nobody had done this in Seattle. So I'm like, oh, I don't want to just have a job or do something, I want to connect with community. So I started it and it was just great timing. And two years later happened to be when the founder Meetup.com did the first and so far only tech Meetup at the White House because he had known the first female CTO at Google and she was the first CTO of US government under Obama. And they reached out and they asked like 50 Meetup organizers to come speak. And again, not totally, I literally almost fell on my floor when I opened the email. How did this happen? This is just doing what I loved and good things coming so a little longer than I wanted to go. But I realized that a lot of stuff. And ADHD. Peter Shankman [00:09:04]: It's okay though, I like that, I like that. Tell us about a lot of good stuff, right? You took these risks, they paid off. You're doing what you love to do. But it's not all sunshine and roses. It never is. No, talk about some of the negatives. Brett [00:09:17]: The negative was not knowing I had ADHD and having anxiety all the time and always feeling wrong. In hindsight, I can see most of us go through what seems like and possibly is like daily emotional poking from the outside, which gives us great radar. But also in my case I realized I also learned after I found out ADHD, and I know you've heard this a lot of times, then I discovered rejection, sense of Dysphoria, and for me I was like, oh my gosh, that's the deal. Like as much as I thought ADHD changed my entire understanding of myself and put me on a healing path around it. RSD just deepened my empathy for everybody else going through it. Add I was like, oh my gosh, I'm glad I'm not alone. But I feel for all the other people that with rejecting sensitive Dysphoria, being so outer oriented, which I think the positive of that is, makes me a great community organizer. The weird thing is, pre COVID, I was producing 52 events a year, getting on stage three or four times a month in front of hundreds of people. And I did it because I loved the connection with the people. Add, I was scared shitless every time. And still now I've been doing this ten years, and I get the fulfillment, because people come up and say, oh, I met a great business partner, I got a job, I met this wonderful person, I got this great idea from the presenters. And so I get the fulfillment from the community telling me that what I'm doing is valuable for them, and the saying, thank you so much for doing this, that this exists for us to find each other. But I get on stage and freak out every time. And when I had jobs, in hindsight I realized it wasn't just that I was a horrible employee, it was because this is actually something I talked to some of my clients about because especially in tech they go through this a lot. I'm not going to throw a blanket statement, but I'll say in general it seems that most companies are based on neurotypical systems. They're hierarchical and they're generally based on how do you get more money? How do you get more power? How do you get a better title? Most of the neurodivergent folks than I've met and work with, we are wired because of those things I was talking about in early life I think to be pretty empathetic. We have huge bullshit detectors and we don't work well in those systems. And so we want to go to work, do a great job. Our brains see all these problems people don't see, make all these great connections, create solutions that gives us dopamine it's awesome. Want to do that great job, be acknowledged for it, move up the ladder at work from doing a great job, go home and have a nice life. Then we don't understand why the guy who does half the work but has radar to find the right people to get his power and money higher is great at sniffing those people out, giving those people what they need. They sniff out the folks who do really hard work, usually a lot of neurodiversity folks who aren't necessarily or not self promoters generally and out our great work and they get to be the face of the work. They can go up the ladder and go, hey, see what our team is doing even though they're not doing the work. And you watch those people move up the ladder. And I don't say it seems like most situations are than way. I've talked to over 200 tech professionals that are neurodivergent in the last two years and I'd say almost all of them have experience of this, of like, why can't I just go do my great job, have a good career, have a good life? Because we're not wired to play those games and we hate the politics and we hate the nonsense. Peter Shankman [00:13:04]: Yeah, 100%. It's very accurate. That's very accurate. I think that one of the interesting things is that when that happens, instead of fighting it, we internalize it and that doesn't help us at all. It makes it even worse. Brett [00:13:20]: Yeah. And that's actually another thing with coaching that I work with people around is in coaching they talk about that little voice as the saboteur or the wounded child and your more positive self, the leader within the wise adult is really connected to your successes, your wins, and truly who the light you really are. But for ADHD I call it the YAB but full, because it seems like we could work 40 years on cancer and we could cure cancer, but as soon as we get at the top of that mountain, we're never looking back. And we don't acknowledge all the work that went into that and everything we did, because we're in the moment, we're getting the dopamine while we're hyper focused building it. We get to the top of the mountain, we cured cancer, and for 30 seconds it's awesome. And then we look around at the horizon and see all the other mountains and that little yeah, but Fro goes, yeah, but multiple sclerosis, what are you doing with that? And we're like, oh yeah, I'm a piece of crap, I need to go work on that. Peter Shankman [00:14:21]: No, it's so totally true. So totally true. Brett, I want to keep it at 15 minutes like we always do, but we'll definitely have you back.  14:26 - How can people find you? Socials: Yes. LinkedIn @ BrettGreene  Web:  newtechnorthwest.com add epsiloncoaching.com.  Brett: Can I just say one more?  Go for it.  I know you try to keep it tight. Yeah. One thing we talked about real quick on here than I think just because it helps people a lot is understanding neurodivergent more as an operating system that's different, like Apple versus Android. And when you understand that it's low executive function, low working memory, low dopamine, low serotonin, you can explain that to people, then you can create a new understanding and context with each other to move forward in a more positive and helpful way. So a quick example is if two people go to lunch, one person orders mayonnaise with their fries, the American goes, that's weird, and feels like it's really awkward. Add strange and why would a person do that? And then the other person says, oh, I'm Canadian, that's what we do. And immediately it just melts. It's like, oh, you're Canadian, right? What they do. The truth is we haven't been educated as a society. We're not educated on neurodivergent. Unfortunately. It's up to us to educate the folks around us. And actually I'm working on a book now on communication specifically to help neurodivergent people easily in like a 20 minutes conversation be able to explain what a neurodivergent brain is. So that now the understandings of like, well, why didn't you do that thing you said you were going to do? Why do you forget this now you're not going to get labeled as lazy and negative and these things because from a neurotypical perspective that stuff could be true. Bu once they understand a neurodivergent brain and go like, oh, well, you don't have the parts in your brain for that. You're at 20% executive function versus 100, and by eleven or 12:11 A.m. Or twelve you're spent for the day. Whereas I started with ten gallons of fuel I ended up with four and I'm tired. You started with two and you're at zero and we're acting like it's the same thing because we don't have the language to explain. Peter Shankman [00:16:24]: No. Excellent, excellent. Great answer. [00:16:27]: So thank you for letting me do that and thank you for allowing me to be on here. I really appreciate peter, glad to have you, Brett. Peter Shankman [00:16:33]: Definitely.

There are 3.5 billion social media users, which is about 45% of the world's population (Source: Oberlo). That number is only growing. Social media is one of the best ways to reach our customers. In today's episode, Warren Whitlock and I discuss 3 of his secrets to using social media effectively and more. Warren Whitlock is a digital business development strategist. In 2008, he wrote the first book on Twitter and mobile marketing called Twitter Revolution: How Social Media and Mobile Marketing is Changing the Way We Do Business & Market Online. He was also named one of Forbes's Top 10 Social Media Power Influencers. Warren helps businesses transform into a new way of doing business. His breakthrough strategies to integrate mobile marketing, public relations, and lead generation with conversions to return on investment for lifetime value have helped hundreds of businesses achieve rapid and continuing results in the marketing process.  Warren's Top 3 Social Media Secrets   Be a Thought Leader   Warren said the biggest tip he can give is to be a recognized expert in your field. To do social media well, we need to pick a niche and be an expert in that. We want to be a recognized thought leader in our niche. Warren himself is a recognized thought leader. He's an author and has regularly been asked to speak at events.   Be Authentic   Warren tries to be the same person all the time on social media. He wants to truly be himself, even if that means making a dumb joke because that's his personality. People will connect with us easier if we don't try to put on a fake personality for the sake of our following. Our followers want to see a real human being.   Engage with Our Following   Liking others' posts is important, but it often isn't what Warren focuses on. He wants to have conversations with people through social media. He asks himself, “What can I do to show some love?” He then adds to the conversation wherever he can, and he expects reciprocity. Warren's Passion: Giving One of the things Warren is very passionate about is giving. There is a moral and spiritual side to give, but putting that aside, Warren firmly believes the more we give, the more we get. Sometimes in business, we can be too focused on beating out the competition and doing whatever it takes to succeed. Warren has learned that it doesn't have to be that way. It is much better when you have people who want to work with you and hear from you because of the value you have given them. It's human nature that when people do things for us, we naturally want to do something for them.  “Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.” - Eleanor Roosevelt Reciprocity Warren recommended a book called Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini. I recommend it as well. It details a study where participants were paid to take a survey. After the survey, the facilitators talked with participants for 10-15 minutes. In the control group, the facilitators would then ask, “Do you want to buy some raffle tickets? You could win a car, and I could win the prize of best salesman.” In the other group, five minutes before asking, the facilitator would say, “Hey, I'm going to go down the hall and get a soda. Do you want one?” Then they would give them the same pitch. The ROI on the second group was 10 times the amount spent on soda, and it sold twice the number of raffle tickets as the first group. This is a great example of reciprocity. Warren said, “We normally think of reciprocity as I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine. But, that's not how reciprocity works. It works when you give without expectation of return.” This doesn't mean we can just give all of our time, products, or services away for free. As with this interview, Warren spent his time with me, giving me value. In turn, I will promote this, promoting Warren with my audience at the same time. If we all practice reciprocity, then we can all benefit from helping one another. One of Warren's Failures and What He Learned Warren had a small business selling laser printers. He was advertising, getting good ROI, and using the internet when a lot of people weren't yet. Warren thought he would offer a money-back guarantee because he knew a lot of people would say, “I'm going to buy this because I can just ship it back in a week.” When they got the product and it was okay, they would say, “this may not be everything I want, but I'm not going to go through the trouble of shipping it back.” The business was doing well, and Warren got used to spending a lot of money on advertising. He was so focused on advertising, however, he didn't prioritize giving himself a salary. He was also spending more money than he had. Then one day, Google made a change and their advertising results fell flat. This led to Warren moving to Las Vegas. When he eventually reached the point where he had enough money, he got into the real estate side of the business. This was about 13 years ago, shortly before the market crashed. Warren got hit pretty hard; he couldn't pay for things and made some bad decisions about where to borrow money. From this whole experience, Warren learned that when something works he should keep doing more of that.  Now that Warren is advising startups, he has realized there is a marketing chasm, a big hurdle that startups have to get over. This happens when a business starts doing well and expanding, and when the market dips for a while. One man Warren interviewed said, “No matter what you're doing, you're going to reach that point where you're in the chasm, and you think you're just going to die and many businesses just go away.” If we can push through that hard time, we can survive the marketing chasm and really grow our business. Businesses might try to get through the chasm by offering deals. For example, a tech company might have a one-day-only sale where their software is 75% off. This might help them for a while, but it won't work long-term because the customers who come for that are either bargain hunters or those with a lower income who really can't afford higher prices, and so they are much less likely to become long-term customers.  Key Takeaways Thank you so much, Warren for sharing your stories and knowledge with us today. Here are some of my key takeaways from this episode: The more we give, the more we get. But we should also give without the expectation of return. When something works we should keep doing that, scale that, and do more of that, and stop doing the things that hurt us. Marketing strategies offering big deals can help our businesses with short-term cash flow, but they likely will not work and will hurt us in the long term. To grow our social followings we must be thought leaders, be authentic, and engage with our following.

In this episode we speak with Neal Schaffer, a recognized leader and university educator who helps businesses maximize their social media presence through his: – Social media agency – Strategy consulting – Keynote speaking and – Award-winning books He’s been named a Forbes Top 50 Social Media Power Influencer two years in a row. His portfolio includes: – Fortune 50 enterprises – Grammy award-winning musicians – and leading brands He’s a man of the world with a deep connection to his internal compass, pursuing his hobbies and professions with passion and vigour. He studied Chinese in University. In his senior year he switched to Japanese and started working in a Japanese semiconductor manufacturer in Kyoto, marking the “official” kickstart of his exceptional career. He started out in accounting and finance but after two years, he found more interest in sales and marketing and transitioned into a role in the company’s overseas sales department. He was certain there’s strong business potential for the company in China, so he paved his way into leading the launch of the company operations in China. He didn’t sit around and wait for anyone to choose him – he charged forward and made it happen. The next step in his journey was joining a Canadian startup to launch their Asian operations, helping to grow their Asian market share dramatically. After 9 years in Japan he returned to the US. Returning wasn’t an easy ride and he came to the realisation that he needed to reinvent himself and to build something of his own – something that nobody could take away from him. And another thing clicked – since he had returned to the US he had been gaining a lot of experience and understanding of Linkedin and the business potential it bears. These notions kickstarted his current solopreneur chapter – he wrote a book, which led to speaking deals, which led to him opening his current consulting business. In many ways his experiences in the Far East equipped him with a special skill set that brings a deep and unique dimension to his doing. We discuss: – The Deming Cycle – PDCA (Plan–Do–Check–Action) and how it influenced the way he approaches processes and strategies – Navigating cultural differences – Sales – the power of patience, listening, adding value and turning down prospects that aren’t a good fit – Influencer marketing – inciting word of mouth – The challenges of being a solopreneur – The significance of building personal brand – The tremendous importance of personal relationships – Pivoting as an ongoing reality – And more! This is a super-important listen to anyone looking to calibrate their doing and to be in sync with their gut, their interests and their abilities. We hope you enjoy it!

Dede Watson is a social media consultant and strategist who owns and operates Turn It Social a social media marketing company. She is a top social media influencer and a Forbes Top 50 Social Media Power Influencer. In this episode, I chat with Dede and learn how she went from selling furniture to social media consultant, strategist, and Forbes power influencer. We talk about how filling a need and getting asked for help is one of the best ways to build and grow a business. We talk about the importance of stepping outside of your comfort zone, what makes a successful entrepreneur, and how to get started promoting a business with social media. Dede shares tips, tricks, and some of her favorite tools and apps for video. We talk about Facebook advertising, how social media is evolving, and more. Show Notes [03:20] Dede started selling furniture in Daytona Beach. After about 10 years, she was burned out. She started looking online for different opportunities. [03:48] It took her about five years to actually develop her own business. She started building websites and realized she needed to understand how to promote them. [04:14] At the time, social media was new and she wanted to do some creative advertising. [04:27] She began promoting herself on MySpace and then moved to Twitter. People started asking her about her social media services around the same time that she realized she enjoyed social media. [05:08] She began her social media career on Twitter. [05:36] People coming to you and asking for help is one of the best ways to grow and build a business. Her business didn't happen overnight, it took about three years. [07:02] You need to have a plan and money saved when venturing out into entrepreneurship. [08:29] Normally Dede prefers to be behind the computer. She is stepping out of her comfort zone by promoting her own brand. [10:08] Being hypercritical can hold you back and make you miss your window of opportunity. [12:34] Entrepreneurs need structure and discipline. [15:00] In the past, Dede never thought she could accomplish what she has. She learned that she can be a successful business woman. [16:40] Dede is also enjoying consulting and mentoring people. She gets satisfaction from seeing the results of helping people. [18:32] As she changes her business model to consulting, scaling is her biggest challenge. Facebook is making it challenging for small and midsize businesses to market with advertising. [20:15] Making connections through Twitter is still a tried-and-true method. Instagram also has a large reach. You can do free advertising just by building communities. [23:14] Dede was intimidated by using computers. She still isn't extremely tech savvy. She delegates what she can't do. [25:47] Dede is a hands on learner who has to see and hear it. [27:17] She wakes up and starts posting from her phone. [27:47] She is trying to change course and not make her phone the first thing she does in the morning and the last thing she does in the evening. [29:52] Deirdre carves out time to be on social media, so she's not doing it all the time. [30:42] Every platform is different and automatic posting doesn't look natural. [31:43] You have to be strategic in your posting and micro-target on your business page or account. On Instagram, you can post up to 30 hashtags. [33:12] If you type in your tag on the explore page, you will see related tags. Curate your tags with ones that have been used between 5000 and 500,000 times. [35:13] Don't reuse all of the same hashtags, or you will be shadowbanned. Dede goes back later and edits her hashtags. [37:03] IGTV is a way to find new viewers. Exercise and motivational videos do well. Create a nice story behind your video. [40:07] It's all about building an engaged community on social media. Spend some time, be authentic, and show that you care.

Welcome to Episode 19 of The Art of Humanity, where we explore creativity + consciousness to allow you and your business to evolve. In Episode 19, Jessica Ann talks with Ted Rubin. {Like what you hear? Leave a review on iTunes!} Many people in the social media world know Ted for his enthusiastic, energetic and undeniably personal connection to people. Ted is the most followed CMO on Twitter, according to Social Media Marketing Magazine; one of the most interesting CMOs on Twitter, according to Say Media, #13 on Forbes Top 50 Social Media Power Influencers, and number #2 on the Leadtail list of Top 25 People Most Mentioned by digital marketers. ROR is the basis of his philosophy...it's all about relationships! His book, Return on Relationship, was released in 2013, and How to Look People in the Eye Digitally in 2015.  In this interview, Jessica Ann and Ted Rubin talk about:  His background with Seth Godin, starting back in 1997 (He sent Seth Godin a resume!) And the critical error that he made at the beginning of his career.  His work with E.L.F. cosmetics in 2008 at the early stage of social and how he built a brand using ingenuity without a marketing budget. (6:00) I speak my mind. I say what I think. I tell people that they have to get back to something that is near and dear to your heart: their humanity. It's about building relationships and being good to people. It's about how connecting with people in a real way will benefit your business.  (9:15) I got to listen and learn from Seth Godin. A lot of what I got from Return on Relationship came from Seth's Permission Marketing...about bypassing the agencies whenever you can and talking directly to the people you want to do business with.  Agencies provide a great function but Seth's point was: instead (10:45) A network gives you reach but communities give you power...Networks allow you to connect with various people but communities care.  (11:33) This evolution to me has been like a God-send. Not only am I a community builder but now I have all of these platforms to build communities that enable and empower me. But I also love to interact and meet with people. I'm obsessed with interacting with people. If you're going to make responsive part of your personal brand, be prepared for when your following grows and you have to be responsive for what you care about. And for me, the beauty or the difficulty of it is not something I built into my brand...it's a part of who I am.  (13:00) His definition of community in today's digital age.  (17:46) It's not about the platform it's about the people.  (22:00) This is how you separate yourself, and that you do care about humanity. When you pass people in the street, smile at them! A brand is what a business or a person does...a reputation is what people remember and share.  It's less of a problem than an opportunity. If you're with someone, put the phone down and look at someone. This isn't so much about humanity (although that has a lot to do with it). It's about showing people how important they are to you.  (26:30) He tells a true story that not a lot of people know.  You will feel better if you treat people better. You will feel better if you default to happy. You will feel better if you stop before you go off on someone. Take a breath and smile :)  (32:18) I'm not a big persona guy. And what I've learned is that it's very hard to maintain a persona. In other words, if I didn't really believe in what I do, it would be hard to keep it up. It would be hard to fight the naysayers.  (33:30) The hilarious study that was done on Millennials about the reason that the consumption of cereal is going down is because Millennials are too lazy to clean the dishes from eating cereal. Here is the study in The Washington Post. Like what you hear? Leave a review in iTunes!
