This was, in my view, a price worth paying to have the chance to chop it up with my good mate Tom once again after what is probably a good couple of years, and to get his thoughts on Francis Ford Coppola's divisive epic MEGALOPOLIS, as well as the upcoming work of Clint Eastwood and the Nick Love/Danny Dyer axis. I also recount my recent discovery of an old article by centrist thought guru Dorian Lynskey where he uses the n-word. Peace + love, JFR

Welcome to episode 151 of Activist #MMT. Today I talk with five of my Torrens classmates about our first year in the new graduate program – its importance, some fond memories, and a few improvements we hope to see. In part two we discuss the job guarantee from a now-much more educated point of view. (Here's a link to part 2. A list of the audio chapters in this episode can be found right below.) My guests are Gabie Bond who, along with Professor Steven Hail is the program's administrator, and all-around wonderful person. Susan Borden is the student-matriarch who is taking classes faster than anybody else, and may very well be the first graduate of the Master's program, in a class, literally, all by herself. Tom Foster is an insightful classmate who convinced me to change a major aspect of my view of the job guarantee, as discussed in part two. John Haly is a classmate and very good friend with whom, along with Susan, I've spent many a virtual hour talking and just quietly getting work done. Jackson Winter is a longtime collaborator on many different projects, from audio production to administering the primary private social platform (Discord) for our Torrens classmates, and creating major resources for current and future classmates to take advantage of. He's also a former guest on my podcast. This episode was recorded in late July of last year. Its release was delayed by my taking a demanding course at Torrens, switching careers, and by having to prioritize the release of the Steve Keen and Maren Poitras episodes.

Tom Foster from Foster Web Marketing joins me on this podcast to discuss the thinking behind Storybrand Websites and why podiatrists should embrace this way of marketing their practices. It's about making the patient the hero, not the podiatrist.  Podiatrists often complain on social media about The Good Feet Store or other companies because of their orthotic marketing. However, if every podiatrist embraced marketing through their websites, there would be no issue; podiatry would dominate the market. Patients would consider podiatry before heading to other companies and professions for foot problems.  "Your website is your best marketing vehicle for making money, and if you do it right, it will bring you tons of new patients".  Tom shares some slides during this podcast, which you will find on my YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/0hiuqnh7LiM The process is quite simple: Attract patients with excellent website content and SEO.  Once they're on your website, convert them to an appointment or give them further information in exchange for their email address.  When you have their email address, you should market to them.  We also discuss: Using Google and YouTube searches for topics.  Refining your perfect patient and creating content for them, and only them. Make your content specific.  Making your patient the hero of the story.  Building a Storybrand.  Creating a "Foot Freedom Plan".  Write about what the patient wants, not what you do. Giving patients a simple plan to follow.  Your homepage is a brand page; therefore, it needs less text. Your internal pages, however, need more text and need to be optimised.  The power of stories: Use examples of patients with similar problems and how they overcame the problem and were able to do what they wanted to do, pain-free, by following the foot freedom plan you developed.  If you have any questions about this episode, you can contact Tom Foster at tom@fosterwebmarketing.com to you can email me at tyson@podiatrylegends.com BUSINESS COACHING  Hi, I'm Tyson Franklin, and if you're looking for a specialised podiatry business coach, please talk with me before you commit to a larger coaching company that will more than likely, after their initial sales call, hand you off to an employee who may or may not know much about podiatry.  I have a proven track record of helping podiatrists excel in business, but let's chat before you commit to anything else. You can go to my website, www.tysonfranlklin.com for more information, or go to my ONLINE CALENDAR to schedule a FREE 30-minute Zoom meeting.  Even after the 30-minute Zoom call, you will have more clarity and direction with what you want to do in the future.  YouTube Have you checked out my YouTube Channel – TYSON E FRANKLIN? 

Living in a Kingdom culture helps us to unlock Kingdom truths. Tune into this powerful message as Ps. Tom helps us to break free from the lies of the enemy.

Are you too involved in your agency's operations? Too stuck working IN the business to work ON the business? It's time to fire yourself from some of operations tasks and increase agency valuation. Removing yourself from daily operations is a great way to prepare your agency for an eventual sale and increase its valuation when the time comes. Start by identifying tasks you don't like as well as the ones someone else could do much better. Tom Foster is the founder of Foster Web Marketing, a digital agency that helps doctors and lawyers get in front of their ideal customers. Clients usually come to them to build their websites, but many choose to also have them handle aspects like website optimization and content creation. After transforming to a fully virtual model, it took an acquisition offer for Tom to realize he needed to change some things in order to increase its value. In this interview, we'll discuss: Preparing your agency for a future sale. The different approaches to sale. Firing yourself from your agency tasks.

Get to know your Smart Agency Guest Host:  Dr. Jeremy Weisz is the co-founder of Rise25, an agency that helps companies launch and run podcasts profitably. He followed Jason's podcast and eventually joined the mastermind and has been a guest on the podcast before. Today, he's helping Jason bring something new to the Smart Agency podcast audience by interviewing a special guest and bringing a new perspective to the show. Are You the One Bringing Down Your Agency's Valuation? Tom originally entered the world of technology to focus on sales and marketing in 1991 after serving a six-year tour in the Marines. Right after the Marines, he went to work in software sales doing cold calls, fax blasts, and selling translation software. He ended up being very successful early on and got into the software business in the floppy disc era. After forming his own agency, Foster Web Marketing, Tom started working on an all-in-one solution SaaS for website building. Creating his own software was a big undertaking, but there weren't as many options back then. The platform, called DSS, continues to be part of his agency's main offering. The platform offers CMS, CRM, lead management system and SEO tool, social media tools. Everything you'll need for DIY digital marketing. Recently, he received an offer to sell his agency. Although it was very flattering the time just wasn't right. However, it helped him realize he needed to fix some things to increase the agency's value to where he knew it could be. The most noticeable problem was that Tom was involved in everything. As the agency's visionary, he knew he needed to fire himself that were not the most effective ways to spend his time. Try a Different Approaches to Grow Agency Sales For Tom, constant communication is the most important aspect of training someone in a new task in your agency. Of course, he also likes to hire people who bring their own experience. He recently hired someone with a lot of experience in a different area of sales. There are different types of sales people and different approaches to the sale: Hunters find prospects and generate interest Trappers close the sale Tom used to exclusively hire trappers but now he wants a more well-rounded sales team. Rather than just continuing what he has done over the years,  he's looking for a new or different approach. He understand what he's been doing has gotten the agency where it is. However, in order to grow it's important to hire someone to get them to the next level. Fire Yourself From Agency Operations When he first started the agency, Tom coded, designed, wrote copy -- all the things! Recently, he has been delegating most of those tasks, or as he calls it, firing himself from his many jobs. He trusts his team to do a much better job. It wasn't easy at first, but he started by delegating any task he didn't like and things he knew someone else could do better. He has a great agency team who he trusts and feels comfortable leaving the job to them. You might be the person holding back your agency growth. Consider all the tasks you're doing. Which ones can be delegated? Which don't you like or aren't good at? Lean on your team and delegate outcomes. There are probably tasks you really enjoy doing and don't want to let go of, and that's fine. Tom still jumps into sales and marketing once in a while but acknowledges those can't be his focus while also focusing growing the agency. Creating a Strong Agency Culture While Being Fully Virtual When the pandemic started, Tom's office had a staff of 30. Like many businesses in the light of Covid-19, they swiftly moved to a remote team overnight and got stuck paying rent for an empty office for two years. In the end, it worked out well because going virtual allowed them to become more efficient and effective. As a fully remote agency, Tom sources talent from different parts of the country. Expanding beyond geographic limits has allowed him to hire amazing talent. It has also allowed him to keep talent that decided to move away from the DC area after the pandemic. That said, company culture is a very important element of any successful agency and Tom admits it's really hard to do over Zoom. How do you inspire a remote team and maintain culture? Keep your staff content by creating a good work environment. It's not just about giving them a raise, it's about treating them with respect and protecting them from abusive clients. Tom also believes in creating bonding moments in a virtual environment. He encourages game nights and morning meetings with the entire staff, where managers go over the most important things that happened the day before and the agenda for the day. This is a way to keep the entire staff in the loop when it comes to what's happening in the company. Want the Support of Amazing Digital Agency Owners?

I loved this conversation with David Stanley because he breaks love down to the very simple idea of being good and decent.

There's no doubt about it... Over the last few years, design has gained a lot of momentum in the business space. It's encouraging to see that design is slowly but surely getting a seat at the table. But at which price has this raise come? And are we willing to pay this price? When you zoom out a bit, you'll quickly notice that it's often the "easy to digest" form of design that is praised, the form where the focus primarily lies on gaining short-term benefits and incremental improvements. While that's a space where design can add value, it's not the space where it shines, according to Tom Foster. In this episode with Tom, I talk about how you can regain the space and time again to work on bigger, dare I say, more meaningful challenges. Now, if you think that's going hard in your organization, mind that Tom has worked in many traditional sectors and is now back in finance. If it's possible there, it might also be for you :) Although I'm excited that design is making huge strides these days, it's sad to see that some of the depth and craft eroded from our practice. This conversation with Tom gave me hope that we'll be able to bring it back. --- [ GUIDE ] -— 00:00 Welcome to episode 153 03:15 Who is Tom 04:15 Lightning round 10:00 The problem with design 13:45 How did we get here 17:45 The place of design 25:00 Where does change start 30:15 The organizational middle layer 33:45 What's driving Tom 37:30 Step in the right direction 40:45 Sharing your vision 48:00 Escaping status quo 53:30 Signs of success 55:00 Lessons learned 58:00 What is the sum 59:30 Final thoughts --- [ LINKS ] --- https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasfoster/ http://sarah-drummond.com/full-stack-service-design/ --- [ HOW TO EXPLAIN SERVICE DESIGN ] --- Learn what it takes to get your clients, colleagues, managers, CEOs and even grandmas as excited about service design as you are. https://servicedesignshow.com/free-course

A chance at selling and exiting the business opened his eyes to the need to fire himself after 20-plus years at the helm. He needed to hire for the roles he hated, those he wasn't good at, and bring on the right people to take the business to the next level.

Today's "activism" is essentially a process of expressing collective community grievances and disgust, feeling there's either no control over situations or even how to react. Or hope that someone else will do it. Well, there's no someone else. Nor is there a blueprint for creating change. It's simple: "get out" and make sure every voter is informed on our issues and registered to vote. If there's a message that we believe, it is "Don't worry about rocking the boat because you are not in the boat, so rock it as hard and as often as you can." If you don't feel the wall at your back now, you should.instagram: @waybourninstagram: @fallingoutlgbtqpodtwitter: @fallinglgbtq
