In this soul-stirring solo episode, I'm diving deep into a conversation that's been rising quietly beneath the surface—not just with my clients, but within myself: it's time to lead from who you are now, not who you used to be. If your messaging feels misaligned or your offers aren't landing like they used to, this episode will show you why it's likely not a strategy issue—it's an identity shift waiting to happen. I share stories from real clients who were unknowingly selling to outdated versions of their audience, watering down their offers, or disconnected from their own leadership. You'll learn how to move from performance to embodiment, how to align your messaging with the woman you've become, and why your presence is the product.

They dig into problems, poke at pain points, and highlight what's broken today. But Dan and Pam reveal what they're missing: human beings don't change because of where they are. They change because of where they're going. This episode explores future narrative—the art of helping prospects think beyond today's chaos and into tomorrow's clarity.

Most real estate agents treat client events as an afterthought, something they throw together last minute to “stay top of mind.”  But what if your events were the centerpiece of your entire business strategy? That's exactly what Cincinnati team leader, Danny Baron, figured out. In an industry where most agents are stuck chasing cold leads, begging for referrals, or spending five figures a month on ads, Danny took a different route, one that didn't involve buying a single lead. Instead, he built his business around community, connection, and events that people actually want to go to. People are sick of being sold to. But they'll never say no to a Reds game with free tickets, t-shirts, sunflower seeds, and bubblegum for the whole family.  They'll RSVP to a 2,000-person comedy night with Trey Kennedy. And when they do? That one event becomes 10 to 15 warm, positive touchpoints before, during, and after. How do we throw events that actually entertain people? How do we overcome fears and limiting beliefs about events?  In this episode, Danny walks us through the systems, strategy, and mindset shift that helped him build a 200-transaction-a-year business and one of the most recognized brands in Cincinnati real estate, without ever picking up the phone to cold call.   Every business spends money on marketing somehow. We want to pour back into the people who trusted us and promote our brand.  -Danny Baron   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  You're throwing events all wrong A client event isn't just a thank-you, it's a growth engine. What makes it the ultimate prospecting and follow-up tool? Ditching the Hard Sell You might lose a few deals by not pushing and making a hard sell. How do you gain trust, loyalty, and long-term clients by not selling to people?  One event = 15 touchpoints How did Danny and his team turn an event into a marketing machine before, during, and after?   Guest Bio Danny Baron is a Lead Agent, Realtor®, and founder of The Baron Group. He has a passion for people, and will stop at absolutely nothing to deliver the highest level of service for our clients. His focus is on consistent and effective communication.

A Senior PGA golfer wanted to be kept abreast of all the new discoveries being made in sports psychology. So, he asked Dr Bob Rotella, a world-renowned sports psychologist, to bring him up to speed with the latest developments. Dr Rotella guided Rory McIlroy towards his recent Grand Slam Masters victory. Here is Bob's response: "I had to tell him that most of what passes for discovery in sports psychology really isn't new. There is just the same old wisdom, repeated over and over again, repackaged in new terminology." Taken from his wonderful book 'Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect', not only an excellent book for golfers who wish to improve, but in my mind a guide to how to live your life Pitch for Investment: The same applies to Pitching and the templates offered up as state-of-the-art (that expression is now out of date) by the likes of Sequoid Capital, Kawasaki's 10/20/30 formula, and then there are also Y Combinator, Techstars and many others. All using their own words to describe more or less the same questions that need answering if you wish to win funding. I strongly agree with all of the advice provided by these esteemed organisations. You must address each of these headings: The Problem, Solution, Market Size, Route-to-Market, Traction, Competition, Team and most importantly the ASK However, when coaching my clients, I use storytelling/visual words and place great emphasis on the order in which they present each of these topics. There is no right or wrong order to tell your story. How you answer the questions an investor needs to know will change as your business ideas evolve. Sometimes the focus should be on the team, other times it's the product, and when Sales are generated, it's the key to unlocking investment. However, I believe you must start with the PROBLEM Story. A Pitch should be a story that people will remember and be capable of retelling to others. If they are engaged enough and capable of retelling your story, you are on the road to success. The best pitches are always stories delivered conversationally. I tell my clients to - Stop Selling, Pitching, Lecturing and Sermonising. These styles of presenting no longer engage. Converse with people, and they will listen and engage: Investors hear thousands of pitches, and most are not memorable or investable. A good pitch coach will help you tell your story so that people understand, see the opportunity and want to engage further - the first step on the road to winning funding. My Goal: I want the people I work with to wake up every morning excited, because every day is another opportunity to chase their dreams.

What happens when a reclusive CIO hits a personal and professional crossroads? For Andrew Brummer, it was the catalyst for an extraordinary transformation—one that turned desperation into connection and a failing job search into a vibrant network of 12,000+ relationships based on a common purpose. In this deeply human and inspiring episode, Lisa McGuire sits down with Andrew to explore his journey from operating in the shadows to leading with authenticity, compassion, and clarity.  Andrew opens up about the humbling lessons learned on LinkedIn, the radical power of giving without expectation, and why the key to leadership in today's world is vulnerability—not visibility. Andrew's story is more than a personal reinvention—it's a masterclass in how to lead magnanimously. Whether you're stuck in your own career pivot or wondering how to show up more powerfully online, this conversation will reframe everything you thought you knew about connection, networking, and leadership. KEY TAKEAWAYS Stop trying to impress—start trying to connect. Vulnerability is not a weakness, it's your strongest leadership tool. LinkedIn isn't just a platform; it's your 24/7 global conference. The energy you show up with determines who shows up for you. Giving freely—without expectations—can transform your life and business. It's okay if not everyone responds; serve those who do. Your success is measured by how you impact others. Authentic networking is sustained by curiosity and compassion. Face-to-face (even virtual) conversations create deeper business momentum. Your personal brand is built in the daily moments of showing up as yourself.

Stop selling to a guaranteed minimumAre you selling to a guaranteed minimum? What message are you sending when you lead with starting prices or minimums in your pitch? Could you be underselling your services by focusing on the lowest number your clients have to hit, rather than the unique results you deliver? In this episode, I explore why selling from the bottom up may be holding your business back, and how shifting your approach can help you book clients at higher rates—especially on those in-demand dates. I'll share strategies for repositioning your pricing conversations and making sure you're attracting clients who want the full value you provide, not just a bargain.Listen to this new 6-minute episode for fresh strategies to stop underselling yourself and start converting more clients at the prices you deserve.Episode Summary: In this episode of the Wedding Business Solutions podcast, I dive into the pitfalls of selling to a guaranteed minimum dollar amount—a common practice among venues and caterers. I talk about how leading with a minimum or starting price sets client expectations at the lowest level, which can actually hurt your sales and limit your potential. Instead, I suggest that you focus on selling the unique results and experiences you provide, and only bring up the minimum if it becomes necessary later in the conversation. I also share strategies for offering your best packages on the most popular dates and explain why posting only your lowest prices leads to low-budget inquiries. My goal in this episode is to help you elevate your sales conversations and book more profitable events.If you have any questions about anything in this, or any of my podcasts, or have a suggestion for a topic or guest, please reach out directly to me at Alan@WeddingBusinessSolutions.com or visit my website Podcast.AlanBerg.com Please be sure to subscribe to this podcast and leave a review (thanks, it really does make a difference).

Ryan Singer is one of the earliest employees and the former Head of Strategy at 37signals (the makers of Basecamp), where he spent nearly two decades refining a product development approach that helped the company build super-successful products with small teams. Based on these lessons, he wrote "Shape Up: Stop Running in Circles and Ship Work that Matters," and Ryan now works with companies of all sizes to them them escape the cycle of endless sprints, missed deadlines, and dragging projects.What you'll learn:1. Why traditional Agile and Scrum methods often lead teams into endless cycles of work without meaningful shipping milestones.2. The “appetite-driven” approach to product development where teams set fixed timeboxes (usually six weeks maximum) and vary the scope instead of expanding timelines.3. The exact process for running effective “shaping” sessions that collaboratively define projects before committing resources.4. Why most teams struggle with too little detail in their planning, not too much.5. Why a 30-to-50-person team size is the critical breaking point when growing startups need to adopt more structured processes.6. Practical techniques for bridging the engineering-design divide by bringing technical and product perspectives together earlier in the process.7. The powerful “breadboarding” and “fat marker sketching” techniques that help teams align on solutions without getting lost in high-fidelity details.8. The clear warning signs that your current development process is failing before it's too late to change course.9. Proven strategies to implement Shape Up methods, whether you're working in a startup or enterprise environment.10. A step-by-step approach to transitioning from Scrum to Shape Up by piloting the methodology with a single team before broader implementation.11. Why the PM role shifts upstream in Shape Up, focusing more on problem definition than project management.12.

Are you relying on your amenities to book your short-term rental?  Saying “We have a hot tub” or “We have a sauna” is fine—but it won't set you apart in a crowded market. (Trust me, there's a better way!) In this episode, we're talking about how to move beyond a basic amenities list and: ✔️ Create a branded guest experience that makes your rental unforgettable ✔️ Sell the story of your stay so guests feel emotionally connected before they even book ✔️ Use simple, strategic tweaks to increase demand and justify premium pricing The goal? To make your rental the only choice for your ideal guests—because they're not just booking a place to stay… they're booking an experience.

Selling chiropractic can feel uncomfortable—pushy, awkward, even manipulative. But what if you never had to “sell” again? What if, instead, you could simply invite patients into care—without pressure, without convincing, and without feeling like you’re chasing them? In this episode of The Marketing Your Practice Podcast, we’re shifting the way you think about patient conversations. When you stop selling and start inviting, everything changes. You’ll feel more confident, your energy will shift, and patients will naturally say YES—and stay. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: ✅ The simple mindset shift that eliminates sales pressure overnight. ✅ Why invitations feel better (and work better) than selling. ✅ How to create FOMO—the right way—so patients don’t want to miss out. ✅ The biggest mistake chiropractors make after patients say YES (and how to fix it). ✅ How to keep the door open—even for those who said NO the first time. If you’re tired of “selling” and want a natural, stress-free way to get more patients to say YES and stay, this episode is for you.
