What's holding you back from focus right now?Most of us started this year with (hopefully) some clarity on what we want to set in motion. Goals we want to kick, freedom we want to create, impact and influence we want to build.Yet what if I told you that the key to achieving any of those intentions was a commitment to doing less rather than more?My guest today is the King of getting maximum impact, with minimum distraction.Today's Guest Erik Qualman is a 5 time #1 Bestselling Author and speaker, having performed in over 55 countries and reached over 50 million people. His books ‘Socialnomic: How social media transforms the way we live and do business', ‘Digital Leader – Five simple keys to success and influence' and his latest ‘The Focus Project – The not so simple art of doing less' have been on the CEO lists of must-reads for over a decade. Erik's work first caught my attention a few years ago. When a video he created seemed like it was being played on loop by every influencer, industry expert and CEO I knew. Literally every conference I attended or spoke at - Erik's video was played from the stage.That video was ‘Socialnomics', a video trailer for what would become his bestselling book of the same name. It was a two minute visual feast detailing everything you need to know, and couldn't have imagined, about the rise of social media. If you haven't seen it, or want to see a book trailer that literally created a global best seller, check it out here.So, needless to say, I've wanted to dive into Erik's brain for awhile.Twitter, Instagram and Tik Tok: @equalman You'll LearnHow Erik created ‘Socialnomics' and the keys to using content for massive cut through.The story behind Erik's legendary lime green glasses and why stepping through your story, rather than avoiding it, is the most powerful thing you can do to stand out.Why Erik wrote ‘The Focus Project' as the ‘anti-venom' to his first book. A journey that began when he noticed his own inability to focus into a world of digital distraction.What's on Erik's ‘Not To Do' list right now – and how you can learn way more from learning what someone is committed not to doing, than what they're hoping to attempt.Finally, the advice he gives his own children about how to manage their focus and make a mark, in a world of never ending distraction.The biggest piece of gold I got out of this conversation was a question I have since shared with many people in my inner circle who are trying to focus:“What's the ONE thing that if I do it well will make everything else easier or not necessary?”Answer that question, then focus like your life depends on it.References and links mentionedMy new ebook The Influencer Codehttps://equalman.com/the-focus-project/Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of the Inside Influence Podcast!

Rose-Colored Glasses (with Lime Green Frames) (ft. Erik Qualman)Erik Qualman's relentlessly optimistic and transformative approach to speakingOPENING QUOTE:“And even though I'm speaking to a group... Let's say yesterday, there's 5,000 people there. There's people in there, it's a business meeting, but there's people struggling with personal issues. So, they'll send a note, and "Hey, I was..." I mean, this is at the extreme, but I've gotten emails, I'm sure you have as well, that's like, "I was going to end it. I was going to end my life today, but then there's something that you said that just said, okay, one more day, let me keep it going.”-Erik QualmanGUEST BIO:Erik Qualman has been named the number two most likable author on the planet, coming in just behind J.K. Rowling. In addition to penning not only one but five number-one best sellers, he's been named a top 50 digital influencer by Forbes Magazine. Erik has delivered keynotes in 55 countries and reached over 50 million people with his compelling and inspiring messages and, according to him, “Most importantly I'm still trying to live up to the World's Greatest Dad coffee mug I received from my wife and two daughters.”Links:WebsiteBooksInstagramFacebookTwitterYouTubeLinkedInCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[12:17] - Intentionality, from Health to Family TimeStaying healthy and connected to what mattersJosh and Erik discuss the difficulties of traveling as a speaker, both for physical health and family connections. For Erik, it's become about putting processes in place that allow him to fit all the parts of his life that matter most. When possible, he includes his wife and children in his travel— especially during summer vacation. He also actively tracks his time spent traveling so that he doesn't spend more time away than he wants to without realizing it. [16:04] - How to FocusSimple idea, difficult in practiceOnce you start pursuing any sort of career project, you quickly become pulled in a million different directions. Soon, you're no longer being intentional about your time— you're being reactive. Erik reminds us all to take time re-focus yourself and your team, if you have one. “How do I be intentional with every minute?”[29:13] - What are your Green Glasses?Finding and double-clicking on what makes you uniqueErik tells the story of how bright green glasses became his trademark nearly by accident— but how he later embraced the look as his identifying trademark. It's not about a gimmick— it's about creating an image that's recognizable and representative of what you stand for. In Erik's case, he stands for optimism and the willingness to be unique, like a pair of bright green glasses.[29:39] - Going InternationalErik's tips for being a truly global speakerErik's advice for anyone speaking internationally? Prep, prep, prep. Always remember that cultures are different across the world. You need to speak from a place of understanding of your audience's background, cultural space, political situations, and more. Human experience is universal, but it's influenced by where we come from. Always remember that when speaking internationally.[33:31] - Digital Leadership and SpeakingErik's perspective as the number-one expertErik defines digital leadership simply as empathy. Do I care enough to fix your problem and remove friction? Most innovation isn't additive, it's subtraction. Digital leadership is about taking away barriers and causes of friction to create an environment for success. It all begins with empathy.RESOURCES:[4:19] About TravelZoo[4:28] Socialnomics, by Erik Qualman[5:32] About Book Expo[15:51] The Focus Project, by Erik Qualman[25:46] Digital Leader, by Erik QualmanFollow Erik Qualman:WebsiteBooksInstagramFacebookTwitterYouTubeLinkedInFollow Josh Linkner:FacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYouTubeABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

Doing a lot of things won't get you where you want to go. According to “Digital Dale Carnegie” and best-selling author Erik Qualman, it's become increasingly hard to achieve the things that mean the most to us. Modern life splinters our attention span and makes it extremely challenging to hone in on what matters. Erik Qualman interviewed hundreds of people for his book, The Focus Project, including parents, teachers and entrepreneurs. They all felt that success depended on the extent to which they had been able to focus on their goals. In this episode, Andrew and Erik talk about how to do the important things, rather than doing too many things. In fact, doing LESS is likely to leave you more successful and more fulfilled. Erik Qualman is a five times best-selling author and keynote speaker. He has spoken in over 55 countries and was voted the second most likeable author in the world.

There is so much going on in the world; it pulls our attention this way and that, and we often have trouble focusing on the things that are important because we are constantly bombarded with notifications.

After getting his teeth knocked out as a walk-on basketball player at Michigan State University. Erik Qualman aka Equalman is now a 5x Best Selling Author, Keynote Speaker who's performed in over 55 countries on topics like Digital Leadership, Focus, Socialnomics and so much more!
Today we're talking with Erik about his latest book, The Focus Project: The Not so Simple Art of Doing Less, and how the digital landscape has changed since we last spoke three years ago and will continue to change in 2021. Erik is a five-time number one bestselling author and motivational keynote speaker. He's performed in over 55 countries and his work has been used by the likes of the National Guard, NBC Universal and NASA. His keynote topics focus on innovation, leadership, digital trends, and digital transformation. In our last conversation, Erik mentioned centering his next project around finding focus in a world filled with distractions. This past July, Erik released The Focus Project. “The inspiration for the new book came to fruition because focus is something I was struggling with,” says Qualman on the MSU Today podcast. “Each day when I got home my hair felt like it was on fire. And I'm sitting there going, ‘Wait, I own the company. I control my time. What is going on?' I wondered if I was alone in feeling this way. When I traveled the world to speak, I talked with CEOs, school principals, superintendents, and stay at home dads and found that everyone wrestles with the same thing.“I talked to top performers to ask their key to success, and many told me they thought they could just focus better than most. They added that their biggest challenge was often maintaining that focus. I knew I wasn't alone. I always start a book with a readership of one, meaning will this be helpful for me five years from now for me to reference the book? That's why I undertook the project.”The ability to say no is a key part of staying focused, says Qualman.“Steve Jobs said ‘Sometimes the most important thing you do is deciding what not to do.' And it's exactly that. It's just really understanding doing the big versus the busy, and all of us kind of fall on the busy because it's a little easier and it gives us that dopamine hit. It's like our mind tricking us, ‘Hey, you took your emails from a hundred to zero.' It feels good. You get a dopamine hit. But unfortunately, as you look back over the years you go, ‘Did I get the big things done?' Often you did not.”Qualman talks about how the pandemic moved up the publication date for The Focus Project. And he talks about how systems are important to building and maintaining focus.“The top three things I learned during writing the book are that focus is really hard but can be learned. Second, people who are really good at what they do are better at focus because they say no to almost everything. And then third is to strive for progress, not perfection.”Equal Man explains how and why he defines digital leadership with one word: empathy. And he describes how the digital landscape has changed since our 2017 conversation. And trends moving forward?“I always advise people to invest in the trend, not the tool. Always invest in your people (customers and employees). If your tool is My Space and you over invest in it, your customers and employees don't come with you when Facebook emerges. If you invest in people, then they come with you even when My Space becomes Facebook, Facebook becomes Instagram, and Instagram becomes Tik Tok.“The trend that I'm most interested in is anything that removes friction. So why is Amazon dominating? They remove friction. I don't want to go to the store. If I want to return something, I want it to be free. Everything's been Amazon. They removed friction. They're in the business of removing friction.”Qualman talks about the future of U.S. tech giants Facebook, Google, Twitter, Apple, and Amazon and where they're headed. And he talks about the value of social media. “The Focus Project is an antivenom to Socialnomics, my first book. I recommended that people get into social media. This isn't just for teenagers. It's going to change the way we elect politicians, it's going to change the way you communicate, it could change business, it could change the world. People went too far into their phones, and they're at a disadvantage because they've got these trained PhDs who get paid millions of dollars to make sure that you stay on the site. Now the proponent of the social media outlets would say, ‘That's a good thing. We're giving you something that you want to see. We're just reacting to what you like, so that we serve an ad up for something that's relevant to you.' The opposite side of that, people would argue that that's a bad thing because sometimes the stuff you serve isn't in the best interest of that person.“And so my take on it is that it's a scalpel. All these digital tools and technology going back hundreds of years, like even the telephone, they're all scalpels, meaning that they can save a life or they can take a life. So it all depends on how you use it. And so my whole purpose on why I'm here is to help people understand how to use these tools. These tools aren't inherently good or bad; they actually can be very good. They can connect the world like never before when you break down those barriers of culture. I can understand you better and it's less likely that we're going to go to war.“That's the vision at the highest end, but it can take a life because someone can get served something that makes fun of the way they look and all of a sudden there's a person that commits suicide. And so it is literally those two extremes when you think about world peace to someone taking their life. The whole point and my mission is to make sure that everyone lives their best life and understands how to use these tools in the best way.”MSU Today airs every Sunday morning at 9:00 on 105.1 FM, AM 870, and however you stream at home.

The host of The Social Network show, experimental psychologist “Dr. J,” Jane Karwoski, welcomes her guest Erik Qualman to the show. Erik is often called a Digital Dale Carnegie. He is a #1 best-selling author and motivational keynote speaker, having spoken in 42 different countries. His book Socialnomics: How social media transforms the way we live and do business made Amazon's #1 best-selling list for the US, Japan, the UK, Canada, Portugal, Italy, China, Korea and Germany. His work has been featured on almost every media outlet including 60 Minutes, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes and ABC News. His 2014 book What Happens in Vegas Stays on YouTube is already being adopted by universities and companies for training purposes and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. It's been followed by What Happens on Campus Stays on YouTube. We've seen more and more big brands turning to social media networks to as a way to augment customer service. Erik's response to the question, “Does that tactic seem to be working?” is that done right, it definitely does work. It provides another access point to the company for the customer. It isn't about technology; it's a relationship play. As in cultivating any relationship, hard work goes into it. Erik compares the turn to social media to the transition from strictly telephone customer service to E-mail. It was seldom a whole-sale turnover, rather a shifting of emphasis. Then and now, there are times when “talking to a real human” is perceived as essential by the customer. Making the most of those needs, Zappos redirected $40 million earmarked for traditional marketing and put it into customer service. One change was to empower the rep to resolve any issue under $100 without going to their manager. That saved time and reduced customer frustration, but on the other hand, Zappos stopped considering call time as the metric of success and looked at the net promoter score. Thinking of the company as being in the business, not of selling shoes, but of customer service, reps can stay on the phone chatting with customers or finding answers to any question that comes up, whether or not it has to do with the transaction. One theme Erik brought out was the desire to “surprise and delight” the customer. By scanning social media, companies can capitalize on opportunities. A prime example was when Wheat Thins picked up on a Tweet reading, “Ah! I'm out of Wheat Thins! My life's officially over!” The company spotted that, found her, and showed up with a pallet of Wheat Thins. The video of the event went viral. Mr. Qualman has himself surprised and delighted classes he found with hashtag searches that were discussing any of his books. He joins the conversation and offers to ‘Skype into' the class to discuss the book personally. As a result of such meetings, he realized the need for a campus edition with more emphasis on cyberbullying and sexual harassment to curb both practices. In What Happens on Campus Stays on YouTube!, he also focuses on what to post, rather than on what not to do, helping students build a solid, positive digital reputation.

Audio of the Sermon: Did you know that there is a new area of study known as socialnomics? It is actually the study of how social media transforms and affects our lives, and business. Websites like, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter are leading the charge.Socialnomics also includes to some extent, how smart phones and texting transforms and affects our lives and business.This field of study became popular because of a book titled, Socialnomics written by a man named Eric Qualman. In his book he studied the effect of social media in our culture and this is what he found: (http://socialnomics.net/)He found that 96% of the world’s population under 30-years-old has joined a social network. That’s 50% of the world’s population.He also found that Social Media has affected the way people meet. Did you know that 1 out of 8 couples married in the U.S. last year met via social media?It is interesting, he notes, to see how it took Radio 38 years to reach 50 million followers; it took TV 13 years to reach 50 million followers; it took the Internet 4 years to reach 50 million followers; it took iPod 3 years to reach 50 million followers.However, Facebook, the leading social media website, added over 200 million users in less than a year.In the last 9 months Facebook added 100,000 million subscribers.If Facebook were a country it would be the world’s 3rd largest ahead of the United States and only behind China and India.The fastest growing segment on Facebook is 55-65 year-old females.Twitter, which is another leading social media website, displays that Ashton Kutcher and Ellen Degeneres (combined) have more Twitter followers than the populations of Ireland, Norway, or Panama.“We don’t have a choice on whether we DO social media; the question is how well we DO it.” --Eric Qualman…Read more about the sermon.Pastor Steve PintoFaro Church20918 Bake PkwySuite 108Lake Forest CA, 92630949.916.3276www.farous.org
