Summary: In this episode of Be a Smarter Homeowner, Beth Dodson and John Bodrozic dive into a topic you might not think about often — what's hiding inside your storage unit or other outbuildings? Whether it's transitional moves, seasonal gear, heirlooms, or forgotten treasures, too many people lose track of what they own simply because it's out of sight. Beth and John break down why it's critical to inventory your storage units, sheds, barns, or other structures — and how doing so can save you money, protect your investments, and ease the burden on your family in the future. They share real-life stories (including some pretty wild finds!), practical tips for getting started with a simple photo inventory, and why HomeZada makes managing all these spaces easier than ever. You'll also hear how taking just a few hours upfront can prevent the costly mistakes of duplicate purchases, lost heirlooms, and even unwanted appearances on shows like Storage Wars! This is a must-listen if you have any kind of off-site or extra storage — and even if you think you don't! Chances are, you've got more stored away than you realize. Takeaways People often forget what they have in storage units. Storage units are used for transitional moves and seasonal items. Climate-controlled storage is important for items like wine and art. Documenting items helps avoid duplicate purchases. An inventory can assist in estate planning and passing on belongings. Taking photos of items can simplify inventory management. Hiring professionals can ease the burden of inventorying storage units. Organizing storage units can save time in the long run. Understanding what's in storage can prevent unnecessary expenses.

I want to set you up for success by helping your future self. If you can learn to create boundaries, rules and non-negotiables, you will be able to look back on your current self and say, “thank you for doing that”.This does not mean that you have to change, but it does require that your actions and how you show up is different from what you are doing. You have to ask yourself, what's working, what's not and what can you outsource. Answering these questions will help you set boundaries for yourself and it will make the processes in your business more streamlined and simplified. So what does this look like for you? I'm sharing with you my boundaries and non-negotiables in hopes to inspire you to set some rules of your own. TAKEAWAYS:People who are not entrepreneurs don't get an opinion in your business. It's not helpful. You could benefit from trying this. Set a schedule, and don't overcommit. While you might sometimes want to say yes to everything, consider what you can do to simplify what's best for you and how you show up for your clients. 100% unavailable for procrastination. Most people typically procrastinate on things outside of their comfort zone or things they don't like doing. Try doing those things you're avoiding first and plan certain tasks into your schedule. Do not rush for the sake of getting something done. The work you do should be focused and streamlined, have a clear intention of an ROI, and be the highest quality you are capable of creating.

Order a copy of Conor's book, "Well Ordered Family" - https://amzn.to/40whgT9 In episode 278 of The Super Human Life, host Frank Rich interviews Conor Gallagher, author of “Well Ordered Family.” Conor shares insights on parenting a large family, addressing misconceptions about having many children, and discussing the dynamics of family management. He emphasizes the importance of learning from experience, setting goals, and measuring progress in family life. Gallagher also reflects on the depth of marriage commitments and the sacrifices involved in maintaining a successful family. In the conversation, Conor and Coach Frank explore the profound themes of life purpose, the importance of rites of passage for young men, and the necessity of instilling a blue collar work ethic in children. They discuss the challenges of modern parenting, emphasizing the need for resilience, responsibility, and hard work. The dialogue also touches on the evolution of family planning and the significance of fitness in developing character. Gallagher shares insights from his experiences as a father of many, advocating for a balanced approach to raising children that prepares them for adulthood. Conor discusses the importance of understanding systemic issues in leadership, the significance of positioning individuals for success, and the implementation of a six-part framework for both family and business. He emphasizes the need for accountability through a family scorecard, the teaching of responsibility via chores and allowances, and the navigation of technology and digital policies for children. Gallagher shares personal anecdotes and practical advice for parents and leaders alike, highlighting the balance between discipline and understanding in raising children and leading teams. Takeaways People often misconceive large families as a challenge or game. Having more children does not equate to being a better parent. The dynamics of parenting remain the same regardless of family size. Experience leads to learning from past parenting mistakes. Improvement in parenting is a gradual process, not perfection. Family management requires intentional planning and organization. Everything we do is just the point to die well. Young men today face a crisis due to lack of initiation. Parents should focus on raising adults, not just kids. Instilling a blue collar work ethic is crucial in today's world. Chores correlate directly with future success in adulthood. Teaching resilience should extend beyond sports. Fitness should be a positive experience, not a punishment. Family planning evolves over time and requires adjustments. A well-ordered family is built on universal principles of success. Look at the system first when evaluating mistakes.

In this episode, Andre Kenny discusses the unique strengths of individuals with dyslexia and ADHD, particularly in crisis situations. Drawing from personal experiences and research, he explores how neurodivergent brains are wired to thrive under pressure, showcasing resilience, creative problem-solving, and the ability to remain calm when others may panic. The conversation also highlights the importance of recognizing individual differences within the neurodivergent community and offers mindfulness classes designed to support those with dyslexia, ADHD, and autism. Takeaways People with dyslexia and ADHD often excel in crisis situations. Neurodivergent individuals may thrive on adrenaline and dopamine. Our brains are wired differently, allowing for unique problem-solving skills. Resilience and strength are often developed through daily challenges. Creative thinking is a common trait among neurodivergent people. Calmness in chaos can be instinctual for some individuals. Not all neurodivergent people respond the same way in crises.

Josh and Emily continue discussing email marketing! In this second episode of the mini-series on email marketing, they discuss building and maintaining an email list.

Embracing Your Season: Raising Littles and Understanding Teens with Paige Clingenpeel
On today's episode of Embracing Your Season, Paige welcomes friend, motivational speaker, and author of Worth Seeing, Amy Williams. Amy is a certified Gang Intervention Specialist, a youth ministry veteran of over 29 years, and currently the Project Coordinator for the Ilinois Youth Center for New Life Centers Chicagoland. Paige and Amy discuss God's heart for the marginalized and why the church has a responsibility for serving these groups. Amy shares that a growing number of young people are experiencing hopelessness which means they have no plans or dreams for their futures - but that we as followers of Christ carry hope wherever we go! It should be our joy and great privilege to share the light, peace, worth, and belonging we have in Him. Paige's Takeaways:People are NOT ProjectsIf we see people as problems to fix, the relationship dynamic shifts. Most of the time, people just need us to sit with them and show empathy. We can't and shouldn't try to change people - only God can do that!We Never Know Their StoryOftentimes we allow our ignorance to place a judgment over their present circumstance - when in reality, we have no idea what led them to this place. Lean in with compassion and ask questions. Be willing to learn - and be wrong.We Already BelongEven if we don't know the full story, there's usually a catalyst that has led people to their current situation - and most of the time, it stems from a desire to belong.As followers of Jesus - we already belong! We are chosen, we are beloved, we have worth and value simply because Jesus loves us. We don't have to strive or perform our way into belonging!This point is particularly important while raising your kids. When they know to whom they belong, it's not as easy to be swayed or tempted by different crowds with the lure of “belonging”. Teach them whose they are and instill the worth and value that Jesus has placed on them - on each of us.Resources:Paige ClingenpeelQuestions About the Podcast?

In this episode, host Nick Madsen discusses the concept of justifying wrong actions and the importance of transparency in wildlife management. He starts by sharing the story of Francis Tugun Crowley, a criminal who justified his actions even in the face of imminent danger. Nick then relates this to the illegal moving of wildlife by state and federal agencies in the past. He emphasizes the need for oversight and pushback to ensure ethical wildlife management. Nick also highlights the importance of trust between stakeholders and the negative consequences of a lack of communication and transparency. He concludes by advocating for open and transparent processes in wildlife management. Takeaways People often find ways to justify their wrong actions, even when faced with the consequences. State and federal wildlife agencies have historically engaged in the illegal moving of wildlife, justifying their actions. Oversight and pushback are important in ensuring ethical wildlife management. Trust between stakeholders is crucial for effective wildlife management. Lack of communication and transparency can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings. Open and transparent processes are necessary to avoid the need for justifying actions after the fact.

Takeaways: People think that being an entrepreneur means you are your own boss. While you may not have a manager, you are still held accountable by your customers and your employees. Success can come after starting a business. It is important to not be dissuaded when it isn't immediate. While growing a business is not without its pains, growth creates opportunities to refine your processes and bring in outside perspectives. As an entrepreneur it may be intimidating to talk to others in your industry. While they might seem like competition, many of them are willing to lend a helping hand or provide advice. Your passion for your work matters less than how much you get along with your coworkers. At the end of the day it isn't what you are doing, it's who you are doing it with. You have a responsibility to take care of your business, but you also have a responsibility to take care of yourself! Don't let your business negatively affect your health. One of the most important skills you can have in your professional and personal life is the ability to communicate and understand others perspectives.

As leaders, we can often fall into the trap of focusing most of our attention on the work of achieving desired outcomes. While achieving outcomes is critical for organizational success, authentic leaders also focus on how they are showing up to lead the people doing the day-to-day work to achieve those desired results. Focusing their attention there forces the leader to be vulnerable, to think more in terms of “we” than “I.” Focusing their attention on the staff doing the work engages the leader's innate curiosity, and that curiosity gives rise to empathy. Empathy nourishes emotional intelligence, which is the cornerstone of sustained impact. Takeaways √ People experience a form of grief when organizations go through layoffs. √ Leadership is akin to being onstage because people are always looking at you, watching what you will say and do. √ “Brave Leadership” is the act of staying true to who you are when the pressure is at its greatest. √ The super-objective that we set for ourselves defines the impact that we want to have on others. √ How you show up is how people see you, not what you believe. Authenticity is in the eye of the beholder. √ If you are not curious about people, you cannot bring empathy to the conversation, and if you are not empathetic, you cannot be authentic and have the impact you want to have. √ Because organizations are numbers-driven, leaders tend to focus on the work as opposed to the people doing the work. √ Real presence doesn't show up in the absence of obstacles. My Guest And someone who knows more than a thing or two about brave leadership is our guest in this episode, Kimberly Davis, author of the best-seller Brave Leadership, TEDx speaker, and founder of the Brave Leadership University.

In this light yet intriguing episode, host Pete Waggoner along with Mike O'Connell and Amber Miller explore some of the most popular funeral myths out there. They dispel different notions about embalming and funeral processes while sharing their own encounters that reflect the realities of the funeral industry. Mike and Amber also get into the nitty-gritty of how families may choose to hold a service for their loved ones who have donated their bodies to science. This discussion explores the silliest to the more serious funeral myths and everything in between. It is a must-listen for anyone who wants to know what goes on behind the scenes of a funeral home and how different beliefs about funerals can impact the decisions made during such a difficult time. Takeaways: People working in the funeral industry are just the same as everyone else, with their own set of skills, values, and quirks. Being educated about the funeral process can help to dispel any myths or fears one may have. In this episode: [2:13] Pete Waggoner dives right into the discussion by asking Mike and Amber about the first myth on their list: everyone is embalmed after they die. Mike explains the nuances of this common belief and shares that in many cases, embalming is not required. [7:55] Mike and Amber dispel the myth that funeral homes profit off of selling a deceased person's prosthetics such as gold teeth and the like. Mike also explains how military honors are incorporated into a funeral service of a veteran.

Today's guest is someone who is going to be an integral part of this podcast. He's the MarComm Chair for EO Boston. He has deep industry knowledge of all things payroll and is an expert in running very successful service bureaus. Jeff Plakans is the Founder and President of Commonwealth Payroll & HR. Jeff joins host Mark Stiles to discuss some misconceptions about entrepreneurship, why employee retention should be a main focus for businesses, and how the covid pandemic shifted the world of payroll and hr. Takeaways: People assume entrepreneurs go into business knowing everything they need to. In reality, many find themselves faced with challenges they have never encountered before. While many people use the phrase “fake it til you make it”, open communication and honesty are a much better strategy when dealing with new problems. Many entrepreneurs find direction for their company from the product or service they want to offer. As a business grows, leaders must also focus on the needs and aspirations of their employees Companies need to put in a strong effort to retain their employees. There are 2 open positions for every unemployed person and the world of hiring is more competitive than before. Covid caused many employees to reconsider the culture and habits built around work. Many employees have revisited the time they would spend commuting and time away from family. With remote work becoming more common, tax situations became much more complicated. If you have employees in 10 different states, you have 10 different sets of tax rules you need to follow. When implementing or upgrading hr systems, it's essential to consider how your use of technology will be perceived by potential employees Links: Twitter: https://twitter.com/commpayhr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffplakans/ Website: https://www.commpayhr.com/ Quote of the Show “Culture comes from the employees and what they make of their days in the office, and their relationships, both to the organization and to each other.” - Jeff Plakans Ways to Tune In: Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/leadership-in-action/id1585042233 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2t4Ksk4TwmZ6MSfAHXGkJI Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/leadership-in-action Google Play - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGVhZGVyc2hpcGluYWN0aW9uLmxpdmUvZmVlZC54bWw Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/4263fd02-8c9b-495e-bd31-2e5aef21ff6b/leadership-in-action YouTube - https://youtu.be/XYuotaBw6Cc
Today's guest is a marketing strategist, a thought leader, an entrepreneur, and a certified Facebook ads expert. Joining me this week is Stirling Gardner, the Creator of Launch Perfect and CEO of Stackt Digital. In this episode, we talk about reframing your mindset around the sales pitch, working with clients who want to work with you, and the changing landscape of marketing events. Busted Myths: Don't just explain what someone needs, explain how you do it. Takeaways People will be more likely to buy from you if you give them the value of your skills up front. Give people enough info up front to give them an “aha” moment, but not so much that they don't need you to teach them more. Clients are looking for your help! Don't spend too much time overselling them on why they need your help. Focus on demonstrating your skills and abilities. You can sort consumers into 3 main groups: The Overwhelmed Consumer, The Activist Consumer, and The Influenced Consumer. Don't be afraid to look for a mentor. It's important to take care of yourself and create an environment that fosters the well-being of others. Overdelivering ≠ over teaching. It's important to go that extra step for your clients, but if you swamp them with details, that is a quick way for them to tune out.

It may be a push from your ego.” - Stirling Gardner Shout Outs: Phillip Stutts: 3 types of consumers Book Recommendations: So Good They Can't Ignore You - Cal Newport https://www.amazon.com/Good-They-Cant-Ignore-You/dp/1455509124 Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stirlinggardner/ Website: https://stacktdigital.com/ Ways to Tune In: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-hard-corps-marketing-show/id1338838763 Amazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/37228621-2f9c-4905-a223-1844effb49dd Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1vVLpNI1LssMTiL6Kdsamn Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-hard-corps-marketing-show Google Podcasts: https://play.google.com/music/m/Im7mytmu2wa2mekhoeixlja5hpe?t=The_Hard_Corps_Marketing_Show YouTube: https://youtu.be/_lBLmrvl3Iw
Many employers are coming to a huge realization: there's power in investing in people. But keeping teams happy, organized, and engaged at work can be easier said than done. That's why in recent years, dozens of digital products have emerged to give rise to the challenge. So-called people operations, or people ops, products exist to give workers better processes that can help them believe in (and stay) at their companies amid challenges like the Great Resignation. In this series of Better Product, we're exploring how people ops products are one way employers can ensure their teams are seen, heard, and respected, and why these products are growing in popularity. We're talking to leaders in the people ops space, including: John Wetzel, CEO & Co-Founder of Gather Tim Prohm, VP at the KellyX Digital Innovation Lab Julie Jeannotte, Employee Engagement Expert & Senior Researcher at Officevibe by GSoft Our producer Erica is joining the conversation to ask the tough questions and be an advocate for you, our listeners.

Follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter to see the latest in Better Product, a show part of the Better Product Community powered by Innovatemap. The community is the connection point for product leaders & practitioners to learn and share what it takes to design, build, market, and sell better products. Learn more at betterproduct.community. Takeaways: People ops products are multiplying, but the shift from HR isn't new. Companies that take people ops seriously keep their employees at the center and create a culture with them in mind. Product leaders in people ops are trying to measure and respond to human nature with tech. Things To Listen For: [3:00] Why we're talking about people ops, vibe shifts, and the future of work [6:30] How we define people operations vs. HR [7:30] “People ops is about creating a better holistic experience for teams” [8:30] Exploring our different levels of work experience [12:30] Tying today's people ops products back to 2006, Laszlo Bock, and Google [13:00] People ops products ask: how can companies fit the way they operate into people's lives—not the other way around [14:30] Design to design ops, security to security ops, and people to people ops [16:00] In the age of remote work, companies have to consider, “what else do I have to offer?” [17:00] People ops lets companies “create the canvas for culture to emerge” [19:30] People ops products have to be intentional about fostering interactions [20:00] How the people ops transformation is “making the attention to people and experience more systemic”
How to Pick a Good Cannabis ETF for the Long-Term | Ep. 69 In this podcast Matt sits with Dan Ahrens, managing director and chief operating officer for Advisor Shares. They discuss the current situation of the cannabis market on USA and Canada. Dan explains it's important to differentiate these two markets because they are on very different situations. Canada's best companies are not necessarily the best investment options for the future because, after the federal reforms, they overgrew. The administrations are usually not able to keep the fast-paced growth. The cannabis shares have gone down in the past months, having an MSO's portfolio manager can help adjust the portfolio more quickly and opportunistically. That's why this Cannabis ETF is a good option for long-term investors. Dan reminds all investors the cannabis market is a long-term investment. Anybody who wants to invest here needs to be ready for drop downs below the 50%. The investors need to be patient because no one knows when a federal reform is coming or how it will look like.

She has had over 10 years of experience in the field of mental health & self-improvement.Quotes to remember: “It got to the point where it felt like I couldn’t handle it anymore--and that’s when I realized I shouldn’t be reacting this way to something so small.”“It’s not a linear journey.” “You don’t need to be hard on yourself to be ambitious.” “When you’re overthinking things, in some way you feel like you have control.” Takeaways:People with high-functioning anxiety appear calm and confident on the outside, but are struggling on the insideYou may not know that you have anxiety because you believe that this is what it takes to be successfulThe first step is becoming aware of your negative thoughts and when they come upSpeak with yourself like you might speak with a friendWe mistakenly believe that we must be hard on ourselves in order to get things doneSelf-compassion can aid in ambitionWe are taught via punishment growing up--but it’s ineffective at building sustainable habits for ourselvesAnxiety is rooted in shame and being uncomfortable with oneselfExpress your shame and fear, if even in a journal When you notice the thinking, you give yourself the choiceAnxiety often leads to either avoidance or overworkingFocus on energy management rather than time managementSometimes people become comfortable in their discomfortWhat you’ll learn:How core beliefs may be holding us backWhat Tati implemented in her life once she realized that anxiety was running her lifeSteps to accepting yourselfWhat to do when you find yourself overthinkingPreventing burnout by keeping a pulse on your healthHow to address guilt when saying no, especially in workHow to be more productive in less timeWhy some people fail to changeMentioned on the podcast: https://www.becalmwithtati.com/Calmly Coping podcastLinks:InstagramYoutubePinterest
Our current actions are creating our future reality. Sometimes, we have to choose between what we want right now and what we want for our future selves. Research shows that the more emotionally connected we feel to our future selves, the more likely we are to make choices that benefit that future self. In this episode, we explore ways to form a more intimate connection with your future self. Takeaways People who can picture their future selves with great clarity make choices that are more likely to support that vision. One way to picture that future self is to follow what is likely to happen if you continue to practice your most consistent behaviors and imagine what the outcome will be. Alternatively, picture how you'd like your future to look and ask yourself what (if anything) needs to change now in order to make that picture a reality. Don’t fret if every single choice you make is not in alignment with this vision, just make sure that the majority are. Lab Experiment Step 1: Pick a specific date at least 3 but no more than 10 years in the future. Step 2: Bring the future you that will wake up on that date into focus: Look into the mirror. What do you see? What will your day look like? What’s going on with your health? Your work life? Your home life? Your finances? What will the world look like? Step 3: Now, write your future self a letter. Tell your future self about things you are doing today that you hope they will be benefiting from by the time they read this letter. If you have concerns about the way some of the things you are doing right now might cause pain to your future self, you might want to talk about those as well. What would you like future you to know (remember) about present you? What questions do you have now that future you will know the answer to? How will knowing those answers change you?

Do you feel like you are pigeonholed in your corporate job? Do you need some inspiration and are considering moving to a marketing position in the startup world? A Marketing Leader, Serial Entrepreneur, the author of Be a Startup Superstar, and the CMO of Thycotic, Steve Kahan, gives his recommendations of what to look for in a startup, best practices for website conversion, and stresses the importance of measurement in marketing. This is one episode you do not want to miss! Takeaways: People love to have immediate feedback, consider providing useful self-assessments for your customers in which your company can help them improve their score. In marketing, “always err on the side of giving maximum value” to your customers. - Steve Kahan Marketing is about the metrics. If a marketer is early in their career and they are in a role that is not measured towards its effect on revenue, then they are stunting their career growth. The key to converting leads on your website is to provide superb content that is compelling enough to target buyers. Make it easy for website visitors to access your content and also to get a quote for your product or service. Steve Kahan's book, Be a Startup Superstar is based on 35 actions and behaviors one should take for success at a startup. When looking for a startup at which to work consider the people that work there, if there is a market for the product or service, is the company selling a product or service you can believe in, and if it is well funded. “Marketing is all about impacting revenue.” - Steve Kahan Career advice from Steve Kahan - Invest in yourself and make sure that you are your most important priority. Schedule time on your calendar each week to take time for yourself whether it is working out, learning something new, or recharging your batteries. Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevekahan/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/stevekahan1 Be a Startup Superstar: www.beastartupsuperstar.com Thycotic: https://thycotic.com/ Busted Myths: Companies can't get great visibility unless they already have lots of customers that are ready to go live and give their success stories in the media. - This is NOT the case. A company can have high visibility through generating their own news, such as providing useful content, like research reports and self-assessments to their customers.
When you think of conversational marketing, do you think of bots? Do you think that bots will replace sales development reps? As a potential customer, would you want to only be able to talk to a bot when you arrive on a website? A Serial Entrepreneur, a Leader in Conversational Marketing, and Co-Founder at Qualified.com, Sean Whiteley, sets the record straight about bots and humans with conversational marketing! How can bots assist humans with getting qualified leads? Listen and find out! Takeaways: People may be expensive, but they are still your most valuable commodity. Think about it, do you actually want to talk to a bot yourself? Should you ask your customers to do the same? If someone is a good fit for your business and they are on your site, you should not have them fill out a form and then leave your site, you should talk to them in the moment when they are on your site. Bots are great for finding out qualifying information and for booking meetings with your team, when your team is out of the office. Lines are blurring between the revenue team and the marketing team. If the two are not aligned, then operations will not perform. You can make a small change in your initial response time and it directly correlates to the amount of pipeline you are generating. Bots help to make sure that the human interaction will be meaningful for both the potential buyer and the seller. The B2C world has set a very high bar in terms of delivering personalized and instantaneous customer experiences. B2B has to adapt to provide a similar level of customer experience that people today are expecting. For businesses just starting out, be careful of how much you chase after a revenue model and certain finance goals. You can miss out on taking a moment to find your product market fit. Be sure to enjoy the time in your career journey. Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanwhiteley/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/seanwhiteley Qualified.com: https://www.qualified.com/ Busted Myths: Bots will replace SDR's. - This is NOT the case. People are a company's most valuable asset and they are still the best option to have conversations about your business, your products, and services. The shift is that a human's time is valuable, so bots can be used to ask lower level qualifying questions to ensure that the human is still having their time maximized and talking to an ideal customer. Bots drive pipeline. - This is incorrect. Bots do not drive pipeline, but rather build the data behind the pipeline.

And who doesn’t want that. And this bonus episode we speak to the co-author Ryan Foland all about the book itself! In a previous episode of Marketing Study Lab I had the pleasure of chatting to Leonard Kim (episode 61 for those of you that are interested – https://bit.ly/2Wnwz0d), who co-authored the book with Ryan. But as they release the book to the general public, I doubled up and spoke to Ryan, specifically about this book and why he’s looking a little red faced at the moment. Ryan is a keynote speaker who has done no less than four TEDx talks, a personal branding expert and the creator of the 3-1-3 method (which we’ll come onto later), which you should defo check out after this episode. Takeaways - People want to do business with people. Think of those products or services you can’t wait to buy. Unless you have a shed load of money behind a brand, the chances are you will be purchasing because you know, like and trust the person behind the company. What they stand for, aligned to you as a person – that creates a much more powerful bond than any company brand could. - The 3-1-3 method is so simple, yet so complex to perfect. Try it for yourself – try and write down what the problem is you solve, the solution for this problem and who it is for. Sounds simple – try writing it and then check out the video in the show notes. I almost guarantee your answer won’t be as bloody as it needs to be! - It's all about the problem you solve. No one really cares about your job, what you do. Unless you’re a spaceman or an old school pirate… then it might work. But in general, your job title is boring. And this book ‘Ditch the Act’ shows you how to bring the best out of you, for being you, of which solving problems is just one element of it! Go out, get it and start to ditch your act!

When is the last time you talked to a lawyer about GDPR compliance? When is the last time you got to talk to a lawyer who is also a marketer? Wouldn't it be great to hear from someone with both perspectives? Now you can! An Attorney, Digital Marketing Advisor, Podcast Host, and the President of AttorneySync, Gyi Tsakalakis, brings GDPR, email marketing, and SEO centerstage with his years of experience in law and marketing. Have you ever heard someone say “consult your legal counsel”? Check it out! Takeaways: People hire people based on knowing and trusting them. With the internet, a business can nurture relationships with their buyers prior to them getting at the stage in their cycle where they are shopping around. GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation, and it is a law that has been enforceable since May 2018. It was put into practice to protect people's data and give them the right to consent to process their data and the right for them to be forgotten by a company. The basic principles to be GDPR compliant is to get consent, get the record of that consent, if there is a data breach, report it, and then have clean data where you can remove someone's information if requested. Read the terms of your software and see what the data retention policy is. This will give you a better idea if the data that you delete, is actually deleted. If you are outsourcing your marketing, be sure that the third-party practices are in compliance with GDPR and CAN-SPAM as you could be held liable. When considering whether or not to spam links to build your SEO, consider the integrity and reputation of your business. Do you want to be around for a while or do you want to be around for a year? With SEO, get informed about how search engines work. “Meh links - Links still drive the engine at Google...they want to build the world around their servers.” - Gyi Tsakalakis Find ways to earn links from other websites that are relevant to your business in terms of topic and location. Culture happens whether you are intentional about it or not. If you don't prioritize it with a core framework, it can become toxic. Links: Twitter: https://twitter.com/gyitsakalakis LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gyitsakalakis/ AttorneySync: https://www.attorneysync.com/ Clienting: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clienting/id1329721720 Lunch Hour Legal Marketing: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lunch-hour-legal-marketing/id973563135 Busted Myths: People don't use the internet to hire lawyers. - They DO use the internet to find lawyers. Lawyers may say that most of their inbound comes from word of mouth, however, those word of mouth conversations are now happening on the internet through reviews, and private groups on social media such as Facebook and LinkedIn. GDPR only applies to you, if you are in the European Union. - This is false because if your business is in the United States and it processes data of a resident in the EU, then you are subject to being GDPR compliant. We live in a direct-response only world. - We do NOT live in a direct-response only world. Buyers are everywhere in their journey. They may see an ad, then they are on social media, then they are attending a webinar, and then reading a blog post. The journey model that marketers are dealing with is no longer a structured funnel as there are so many different touches that buyers interact with. Outbound sales is a dead concept. - Outbound sales is not dead. You need to pick your battles, put time in researching your customer, and then go after the targeted accounts. Domain authority is a good indicator for SEO. - Domain authority is NOT a good indicator of the link quality in the local SEO Universe. It is Moz's proxy metric for measurement.

Marketing Study Lab Helping You Pass Marketing Qualifications
AIDA – Awareness, Interest, Desire, Action. It's a simple tool but one very much worth remembering and we’ll do that later. Before we get all automated and these intro start to write themselves, let’s have a chat with Natalia Wiechowski a Personal Branding Expert, bilingual keynote speaker, LinkedIn Trainer and an Edutainer, so you know this is going to be a fascinating chat. Oh yeah, Nataila is also a Dr. of Philosophy, Social scientist and a certified digital marketing professional with experience in human behavior & social relationships. So basically she knows what I’m thinking at all times and I’m scared!!! Takeaways - People want to hear your story. A story that you can tell and that is trustworthy. Think about the brands you connect with, do you feel like you know them, are they more personable to you than others, relate to you a little more? Do they share the same messages in terms of how you lead your life? They probably do. And this is why you feel connected to them and ultimately make those purchases. But be cautious, as Natalia put it ‘telling stories is the new big brother’ - Good content, the core or basis of it, consists of 50-60% real life problem solving. Listen to your audience, what are they struggling with and are worried about and how can you help. - Natalia discussed her top tip for becoming more employable, straight after you studies – without writing a CV, which sounds bizarre but when you talk through it, it isn’t really, so listen up: - Don’t wait until after your studies – the number one rule! - Start networking while you are still studying, building those connections with the people and organisations you want to work for - Get clear on how these organisations function and recruit - Don’t forget that practical experience as well, the proof is in the doing - And finally, ditch the CV (wow big statement), but first of all find a way to gain the attention you need to get people to approach you rather than the other way round – this can be on social channels, blogs, podcasts, how about even singing your resume (I’m not even going to attempt that one), but perhaps you might. You want some proof, check out the two examples in the show notes where not using a CV has lead to a dream job: the fearless girl and Nina’s Airbnb story. AIDA AIDA (Awareness, Interest, Desire, Action), the traditional model for describing the stages that a consumer will go through from the first interaction or becoming aware of a product or service through to an actual committed purchase. One of the benefits of this model is its simplicity and versatility in terms of its use with communication messages as it is seen as a stimulus-response model, which is what we want from our comms, a response. Times have changed however since the creation of the AIDA model and although still prevalent in many Marketing communication plans it is now seen as to linear in a digital environment, also ignoring post-purchase behavior which is a major factor to be considered. Test the AIDA model on your next communications plan or assignment, but don't forget that other influential factors outside of this model may need to be considered dependent on your overall objectives.

Takeaways People are Creatures of Habit: Quit spending your mental energy trying to figure out when your prospects are more apt to respond or engage with you. Just like you have a routine, so do they. They likely get out of bed around the same time, commute into the office at the same time, and guess what — respond to emails and phone calls at the same time of day. Look for those patterns and learn to strike while the iron is hot. Practice Genuine Empathy: A lot of people talk about empathy, but most don’t practice it. What does it mean to truly understand a prospect's challenges? Without trying to sell anything, sit down with a few of your ideal prospects and let them teach you. Ask them what industry struggles they’re having right now? Ask them how they are personally measured on initiatives. Ask them how they are compensated for success. These small nuggets can turn into a pile of gold. Be Willing to Walk Away: As excited as you are about what you sell, it’s not for everyone — at least not right away. Give your prospect the space to say “no,” but make sure you get permission to say “no” yourself if it’s the right thing to do. “No” doesn’t mean never and by leaning into that notion, you’ll create a level of trust most reps never get.
