Sometimes it seems like being a jerk pays off. Society often seems to reward the leaders who don't mind stepping on others en route to the top. But if you don't want to live that way, you're among friends here and with today's guest Julien Smith. We're talking about avoiding leadership traps and creating positive boundaries in your business. More About Julien: Julien Smith is the co-founder and CEO of Practice, a business management platform for coaches. He was the co-founder of Breather, and is a New York Times bestselling author of three books. Two of these, Trust Agents and The Impact Equation, were written with Chris Brogan, and his third, The Flinch, was published with Domino Project in 2011.

Julien Smith is the Co-Founder and CEO at Practice. Previously, he was also the Co-Founder of a company called Breather. Additionally, he was a New York Times Bestselling Author of 3 books. He is somebody who's been a speaker and a writer. Creative would be the word I use to best sum up Julien.   Julien had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “One of the ways to have the biggest impact on the world is to work with a team of people that will care about a common purpose” (7:15). “How much of a mercenary are you vs a missionary?” (8:15). “I was a hard employee… I wanted a level of autonomy that I never earned” (11:35). “I felt that I had a value in myself that I saw that was very difficult for me to show other people. I had to step completely out of the system” (13:00). “People make everything happen. When it's not people, it's culture” (23:00). “I'm more deliberate about people now than I ever was” (23:15). “To be deliberate with the people that you work with has got to be the most valuable thing that you can possibly do at a startup, especially at the early stage” (24:15). “The number one thing that I care about today is making sure the team is amazing and making sure the team is all aligned together” (26:00). “I've been working to empower solo people for as long as I can think” (30:15). “The challenge is to scale beyond your own thing” (41:15). “There's hundreds of coaches out there, but no one knows how to find them other than by referral” (43:10). “I like the intimacy of the relationship in coaching” (44:00). “CEOs have almost no opportunity to be their honest self, they're always on. To be able to give them an opportunity to not be on… and to allow them to authentically be themselves is incredibly rewarding” (44:30). “Coaching lets me step out of my own company, which is really rewarding” (44:50). “No matter who you are or how you get it, you do need a connection to something greater than yourself” (50:45). “As much as possible, I try to connect to things that are bigger than myself to remember that there's a lot of stuff out there in the world” (51:10). “I feel that you've got to know what you're getting into” (54:25). “To me, what venture really means is access to money and access to a really strong density of talent” (55:20). “Venture brings together incredibly smart and talented people” (55:50). “My identity was absolutely attached to being the CEO and Co-Founder of Breather, and to a degree it's attached to Practice, but less so than the people who have done nothing before that at all” (58:00). “Let's build a business that will support the next 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000 people like this” (59:15). “I really believe that in 5-10 years we can be one of the most successful companies in the world. To do that right, from the very beginning, you have to have that intent” (1:00:45). “One of the things that you've got to do when you get into venture-backed businesses, you have to know that you can build something for a customer that you love, and you have to know that you can do it for 10 years” (1:01:15).   Additionally, make sure to check out Julien on Twitter.

Trust has become so crucial in today's market. It is heavily tied to credibility. If someone doesn't trust us, they won't find us credible, and they often won't choose our product or services over another, more credible product or service. In Chris Brogan's book, Trust Agents, he explains that we need to become trust agents within our businesses if we want to find success.    In the last episode, we discussed how Chris was able to ride the waves of tectonic shifts to leverage success. In today's episode, we're going to discuss the six characteristics of trust agents Chris wrote about in his Trust Agents book.     Make Our Own Game     We need to pick a category that we are the best at and stick with it. It's all about positioning ourselves with a specific target audience.    “You can't be the best Gary Vaynerchuk because there already is one,” Chris said. “You shouldn't try to be the next best Gary Vaynerchuk either. So instead, you pick some new category where you are absolutely the best.”   Part of building a successful business is finding what makes us unique. We have to find that niche audience we can serve and provide value to. As we build our group, we will build more trust within our target audience.    Studies have shown that we are more likely to trust others who are members of our own social group compared to outsiders. While this may seem obvious, the same applies to groups in general. We are also more likely to trust people in a randomly assigned small group compared to a random person outside of the group (Source: Harvard Business review).    As we choose our own category, build a niche group, and make our own game, our customers will be more likely to trust us.      One of Us     People are more willing to trust someone they are similar to (Source: Harvard Business Review).    We should always be looking for the connection between ourselves and the customer. We need to pay attention to what makes us similar.    When I asked Chris to share his best monetization strategy, he said the more personalized we can be with our customers, the better.    Other than communicating directly with our customers, we can also use data to become more personalized in the best way possible. Our goal should be to make our customer's life easier, and we can do this by understanding their wants and needs.    “In a world where everything is so broken apart, he who has the best data that drives to a very personalized approach of what a human does is going to do a lot better than everybody else,” Chris said.      The Archimedes Effect     “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” - Archimedes    It's all about leverage. “Basically, you figure out where you can make some kind of change, and if I can push on that, I can change the world,” Chris said. “What you're looking for is, ‘Can I do something once that's so impactful that I don't have to do it multitudes of times?'”   If we can recognize tectonic shifts as they are happening and leverage them to our favor, we can often leapfrog competitors and drive growth and monetization.     Networking      Networking is one of the most underrated parts of the business.     Chris explained that the only reason networking is underrated is that it's done so poorly. People go to an event just to hand out their business cards to anyone they see. We shouldn't try and connect with everyone in the room. We should only be linking with potential customers—those who would find value in our service or products. If we are more selective with who we go out of our way to offer our product to, people will be more likely to trust us, compared to someone who is out there offering their product to everyone they see. They will trust that we have value we can offer them personally.    “If I don't connect [to] you on LinkedIn, it's probably because I don't have anything I think I need to sell you,” Chris said.      Human Artist     We need to focus on building human relationships.    “A human artist is the art of human interaction. . . How we act with other people matters so much more professionally than we ever give it credit for. There is a monetary difference to what you do or don't do in those situations,” Chris said.    Chris had heard an expression called a moment of truth. A moment of truth is any time a guest comes in contact with any aspect of our world and receives an impression. We need to make sure that in each moment of truth, we are leaving a good impression on our customers. After each interaction with us, they should feel like we value them, even more than their purchase.    As we work with people that have more money and success, it's interesting how money becomes less of a priority to them, and time becomes the primary decision-making factor. We need to make sure our customers know that we value their time, just as much as they do.    “We always treat money as if it's finite, and we treat time as if it's infinite. It's the other way around,” Chris explained. “If you manage and master time a little bit better if you treat people as if their time is important if you treat people as if they're important, money comes to you so much faster than that other methodology where you think money is the goal.”   How we interact with our customers will leave a lasting impression. Many people say their best memories of Chris are that he made them feel good and prioritized. We need to do the same.      Build an Army      We can get a lot further along if we can get more people to become a part of the process and give them the tools they need to do their part. We can't successfully build a business on our own. We need others.    Not only can we benefit from the knowledge, ideas, and skills of others, but people will also trust us more if they see we have loyal friends. As we connect with more and more people, we will gain their trust faster.   “People tend to trust who their friends trust, and that extends to brands. Living in an uncertain world with a persistent barrage of conflicting messages, consumers find it necessary to rely on reviews from friends and other connections.” (Source: Consumer Affairs)   As we build our army, we will build the trust of our audience.    Key Takeaways   Thank you so much Chris for sharing your stories and knowledge with us today. Here are some of my key takeaways from this episode:   We must become trust agents for our potential customers.  We can build trust by making “our own game”, focusing on a niche where we can be the best in the world.  People are more willing to trust others who are similar to them. We should make our customers feel like we are like them.  We can leverage tectonic shifts to leapfrog competitors.  Networking can be an essential part of successful business growth. We should focus on networking to those to whom we think we can offer value. We need to become “human artists” and focus on building relationships as our masterpieces.  We need to build an army of people to help us be far more successful than we can be on our own. We can't do it all ourselves.   Connect with Chris   If you enjoyed this interview and want to learn more about Chris, connect with him on his LinkedIn, or his website, chrisbrogan.com.

Today, I am joined by digital marketing icon Chris Brogan. Chris is a New York Times best-selling author of nine books, including Trust Agents. He's also the host of The Backpack Show and CEO of Owner Media Group, which sells online training and skill upgrades in the form of webinars and courses.    Chris has spoken for or consulted with companies such as Disney, Google, GM, Sony, Coke, and Microsoft. He's part of Tony Robbins' internet Money Master series, and StatSocial ranked Chris as the number three power influencer. Forbes listed Chris as one of the Must Follow Marketing Minds, and his website is one of the 100 best websites for entrepreneurs.    In today's episode, we're going to discuss how Chris has leveraged the waves of tectonic shifts to achieve success.   Learning to Ride the Wave   Chris Brogan wasn't born a successful entrepreneur. He worked at a telecom company and when he saw opportunities, he seized them. He rode the wave of those opportunities to become who he is today.   During the time Chris worked at a telecom company, he constantly read about the business world, learning about unique ideas that weren't really being applied. This created the desire to start his own business so he could implement the great ideas he was reading about.    He eventually launched his own blog, but nobody really cared. It took him years just to get his first 100 readers. A few years later, he started his own podcast, but again, nobody really cared. So, he decided to start an event with a friend.    On the second day of the event, he met Jeff Pulver, a millionaire, who had just run a conference on video on the internet. Jeff offered to take Chris out and suggested they run a conference together. After that, he immediately started working with major brands with Jeff, and jumped into another company about a year later since, at that time, they were just a bit too early for the video trend.    Chris eventually started running part of a consultancy where he worked with things like digital and new social media platforms such as Twitter and rode the wave from there. In time, people started asking questions about how the new media applied to their business, and that's how Chris started working with big companies such as Google and Microsoft.    “It was all the same kinds of questions like, ‘What do we do with this stuff? Is Twitter worth it?'” Chris said. “I was able to show [them] where there might be a little bit of magic.”   In 2009, Chris started the first company that he ran 100% himself. Since then, he has run five or six different iterations of a corporation.    Part of being a successful entrepreneur is about timing and riding those waves of opportunity. When Chris started his own blog and podcast, it wasn't immediately successful because the timing wasn't right. The blog and podcast tectonic shifts hadn't happened yet. Now, blogs and podcasts are extremely important and essential, but it wasn't the same way 20 years ago.    “I was early on a bunch of those waves,” Chris said. “[But beyond] being early to the pile, what I've been so willing to do over and over and over again is fail, be wrong, look stupid. And I get there faster because of it.”   Chris's blog failed. His podcast failed. He left his work with Jeff on internet video after a year because the wave wasn't quite there yet. But every time, he didn't let failure stop him. He got back up and looked for the next opportunity, and jumped back into opportunities when the time was right.   “I got to everything faster than a lot of other people just by being willing to fail in front of everybody and be willing to try new ways. I think that's what separates me from all the people who came up in my spaces. They were still trying really hard to preserve their reputation. And I built my reputation around falling right down a hole in front of you, and just showing you what comes next,” Chris explained.    He made his career by riding the waves to shore as tectonic shifts happened. Below are three current tectonic shifts Chris has successfully adapted to.    Being Human   Being human and more personalized in our businesses is crucial to success. This is especially important now as the pandemic has increased the need for human connection.    “The minute someone feels like you're not there to help them when they're having a rough time, that's a problem. So make your support system a lot more human and connectable. Second off, as you're selling anything, beyond just features and benefits, make it easy to reach a person. Make it easy to be able to ask those questions you might have,” Chris explained.    When I asked Chris about one thing he is passionate about, he said it is helping companies no matter what size. We have to ask ourselves, “How can we be more human even at a distance? How do we bring a bit more humanity into what we do?”   Our businesses need to be about connecting with people. Companies have such a great opportunity to reach out and be human, but we blow it so many times because we're too focused on making a profit. The minute someone feels like we aren't there to help them, they are going to leave. To be successful, we really need to make our support a lot more human.    Influencer Marketing   One of the biggest tectonic shifts that the business world is dealing with today is credibility marketing. It used to be 20 years ago that businesses would buy a whole bunch of advertising, and then use that reach to tell the world how awesome they were. And it often worked. To a great extent it worked. But today, if businesses do that, it doesn't work so well. People don't trust what businesses say about themselves anymore. This means businesses have to find much more credible ways to communicate with their potential customers.   This is why credibility marketing has become such an important tectonic shift today. Businesses are shifting more and more to credibility marketing in many different ways, such as through influencer marketing, reviews marketing, word-of-mouth marketing, and client testimonial videos.    When implementing influencer marketing, the first thing we need to do is find the right influencer to work with.    As I mentioned earlier, StatSocial ranked Chris as the number three power influencer. But this doesn't mean he's the right influencer for everybody. Chris shared a story in which a company asked him to promote a paper shredder. So, he made a video for them. He didn't have any paper in his house, so he shredded the manual and said, “I don't know what else I should show you because it just ate the manual.” The humor was good for him, but the company never sent him another paper shredder. And why? Because Chris wasn't the right, credible person to promote their product.    Just because someone has a massive following, doesn't mean they're the right person to talk about our product. We need to find someone whose following is largely our target audience. We also need to find an influencer who likes and uses our product, and who is credible to talk about the product.    “If you're going to look for influencers, it will be so much better if we do it the other way around. Who's talking lovingly about my product?” Chris said.    As we search for the right influencer for us, we can search for people who already use our product. That way they will be much more credible to our audience.    A good example of this is when Chris reached out to Johnsonville Sausage. During the summer, he had started to talk about their sausage in his videos just because he loved it so much. He ended up reaching out to the company and doing a sponsored video for them. This video actually mattered since he was able to influence his audience.    The Age of Distraction    We live in an age of distraction. There are thousands of different good things constantly competing for the time and attention of our potential customers. Our phones get notifications throughout the day from so many different people. We get so many text messages, email notifications, app reminders, updates, etc. we could live in our little notification bar on our phones.    “If the notification screen is the battlefield, and if all of a sudden every single website is like, ‘Please can we send you notifications?' . . . how is a lowly old email going to get into somebody?” Chris said. These are the questions we have to be asking ourselves and trying to answer.   We need to pay attention to the market and where our specific audience is going. “In a world where we're not willing to sit still for an ad, you've got to put some really interesting information in front of us, for us to sit still enough to want to consume it,” Chris said.    It is a competition for every second of our consumer's attention. We need to make sure we are creative and cut directly to the chase. We need to show consumers how we can help them achieve the things that matter most to them.    “Instead of attention and distraction being the big challenge, it's more, “Can I find the person that I hope to serve in some way?' And that's what we do. That's the goal. If you're going to try to be influential in some way, that's how you're going to learn,” Chris said.    Key Takeaways   Thank you so much Chris for sharing your stories and knowledge with us today. Here are some of my key takeaways from this episode:   We need to ride the “waves” of tectonic shifts. We need to be more human and personalized in our businesses. People don't trust what businesses say about themselves anymore. This means we have to find much more credible sources, such as influencers, to promote our products. Just because someone has a massive following, doesn't mean they're the right person to talk about our product. We need to find an influencer whose following is our target audience.  We live in an age of distraction. We have to constantly fight for the time of our customers. In order to capture their attention, we need to show them what value we offer as fast as possible.    Connect with Chris   If you enjoyed this interview and want to learn more about Chris, connect with him on his LinkedIn, or his website, chrisbrogan.com.

It's chock full of low quality photos of my food or my coffee mug accompanied by two word captions, or no caption at all and my feed just generally had no consistency or flow. In those early days I was using social media solely to entertain myself, and I most certainly didn't have a strategy. But everyone starts somewhere, right? And even though I have come to love all things social strategy, I didn't always have a clear vision for how social media could support, enhance, or even transform my business for the better. The “starting” phase is easily the hardest part because so often we get hung up on trying to perfect everything and then we just get overwhelmed and do nothing instead. Sound about right? Today's episode of the workshop weekly podcast is all about paring it down, simplifying your approach and removing the barriers to entry so you can reset your social strategy or just start if you're at ground zero. By the end of this episode, I want you to have the knowledge and tools that you need to step into it, own it, and start honing the voice and the strategy you need to grow and support your business. And I want you to see that it doesn't have to feel overwhelming. Today we are talking to a very special guest, social media guru and strategist, Jeff Roach, who also happens to be my husband. We are discussing the super simple steps that you need to be taking to start off on the right foot with social, or if you've already started, what you can do to give your social strategy a little makeover and get it back on track starting TO-DAY! Ok, let's do this! In this episode, we talk about: Trust Agents of social media and why you need to embody one.Using social media strategically for your business – stop wasting your precious time!The importance of knowing WHO you are trying to reach on social media, how to discover them, and understand what social networks they use (hint: the answer is NOT “everyone”)The value in researching hashtags and keywords to learn more about your target customer.The true cost of trying to reach EVERYONE (it ain’t cheap…)Why even very small businesses NEED a budget for social media and it is more affordable than you think.Knowing what platforms your customers are on so you can meet them where they are.How to please the algorithm gods.Which platforms are the best bang for your buck.Getting your content in front of people who will care enough to share it (sharing really is caring)Leveraging organic reach on platformsHow to understand your metrics and set goals for content performance.The difference between the content you share to get people to care about tour brand is the content you share to get people to buy a product. “Take an hour to sit down and think about who your customer is and start surfing the web as if you are that customer. What do you look at? What do you click on? What do you not click on? What social networks do you use? And just be that customer for a little while and try to understand their behaviors and you will meet them online when you do that.”Jeff Roach See, I told you it doesn’t have to be that complicated! and now my friend, it is your time to start. Walk away from this podcast and take action. Tag me in your beginnings or in your resets so that I can come along with you and cheer you on!

With Kelly Lawson In this show, I will be sharing the surprising things that can make or break your business. I'll be speaking straight from the heart – and my own experience – about the mistakes I made and how I learned the hard way where to laser-focus my time, energy and money. I don't want you to waste another second ignoring the things that can really move the dial for your business, so let's get talking about the simple steps you can take to achieve your goals starting RIGHT NOW. Today, I'm going to open up about the biggest mistakes I made in my own business and see many entrepreneurs around me getting wrong, too. I'm going to talk about the most surprising things that can literally make you sink or swim. When I started out in business, I got so many things backwards. Looking back now, I see how I put waaay too much time, energy and attention on the wrong things. And, on the flip side, hindsight lets me now see those things that were literally game-changers for my business. Aargh! If only they had been so crystal-clear then. It would have saved me so much money and stress! Anyhow, it's never too late to make a change for the better. Because here's the thing: once you've identified what can really make a difference, you can let a bunch of other stuff that's tying up all your time, energy and money go. Yes, my friends, this is all about less is more. As in doing less, and making more. And all with less struggle and waste. So, in this show, Imma gonna break down the areas of my business that have been totally transformational in helping me grow and scale. More than that, these are also the things that have given me so much clarity, confidence and, best of all, a sense of calm as I move forward. My friends, I want to save you the pain I went through. So no matter where you are in your business lifecycle, today's show is for you. OK, you ready? Let's dig in. In this episode, we talk about: The throwing-spaghetti-at-the-wall approach and why it isn’t doing you any favors.How it is LEGIT impossible to be all the things to all the people.Getting systems in place to manage time and resources – processes do NOT kill inspiration… being a hot mess does.How to free up time, head space and energy for the work that matters to you most.Identifying tedious tasks and draining jobs that eat up your time and how manage them.Building a beautiful empire on a rock-solid foundation.The dangers of getting caught in the hustle – how to prioritize balance in your life and your biz (hint: unplug and unwind).Making and managing money like a pro.Being visible to your customers and build trust with them. Go a head, show them that pretty face ;).Expecting a winding road – not everything is linear. I think it's so important to share not just our successes but our failures, to share all parts of this journey. So I hope I've saved you a little time, energy, money and a little pain. And I'd love to hear from you, about what mistakes you've made, or what you're struggling with! Drop into my DMs on insta and tell me – I am @kellyslawson and tell me how you made out!

I first learned about Mitch Joel while reading Chris Brogan's book “Trust Agents” and immediately bought and consumed Mitch's first book, “Six Pixels of Separation” and then later his 2013 release, “Control, Alt, Delete” which was named one of the best business books by Amazon that year.Mitch is President and the chief Media Hacker of Mirum – a global digital marketing agency operating in 20 countries with over 2500 employees. Marketing Magazine has dubbed him the "Rock Star of Digital Marketing" and called him, "one of North America's leading digital visionaries." He is a columnist for the Harvard Business Review, Inc. Magazine, and The Huffington Post. After attending the very first PodCamp conference in 2005?, he started his weekly podcast also called “Six Pixels of Separation” and has incredibly, racked up over 500 episodes and counting. Mitch also produces a blog post nearly every day with a combination of original and well-curated content. And has done so for 13 years.

Welcome to episode #409 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. It used to be easy. I could simply say that Chris Brogan is one of the most read, liked and followed bloggers on the Internet. Then he became a kinda big thing on Twitter. Then, he started writing books and become a New York Times Bestselling author with Trust Agents and The Impact Equation (both were co-written with Julien Smith). He also wrote books like Social Media 101 and Google Plus For Business. What some people may not know, is that he is also the cofounder of the PodCamp new media conference series, and has spent over sixteen years trying to help others understand technology, media and how to create a more human/humane kind of business. Now, he's publishing all kinds of stuff, creating events, teaching and more. He has an online magazine called, Owner, and just launched a really smart book called, The Freaks Shall Inherit The Earth. We met at the very first PodCamp, and have been friends ever since that day (over eight years ago). Whenever we get around to doing a Media Hacks podcast, he is one of the guests.

Welcome to episode #334 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Please excuse the nepotism, but I treat Chris Brogan and Julien Smith like family. The two are more than close friends, they are the best-selling business book authors of Trust Agents and recently published their sophomore effort, The Impact Equation. As the book continues to steadily climb the best-sellers lists, Brogan and Smith took some time out of their hectic schedules to discuss the new book and why it's so much more than follow-up to their first effort and how it's not about social media (while still being about social media). It's a great read if you're trying to figure out how to make the work that you do not only resonate, but for it to create true value and merit in the world. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #325 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. I first heard about Jim Kukral when my friend, Chris Brogan (co-author with Julien Smith of Trust Agents and the soon-to-be-released business book, The Impact Equation) would not stop talking about the book, Attention! This Book Will Make You Money. I tend to shy away from books that claim to help people get rich from the Internet. On top of that, the rest of Kukral's digital content felt like it was slipping into the the "get rich quick" type of affiliate marketing that just isn't my cup of tea. A while after that, Hugh McGuire (PressBooks and author of Book: A Futurist's Manifesto) was telling me that Kukral was using his PressBooks platform to publish all kinds of business books. I finally met Kural in person at Content Marketing World earlier month, and he explained that he's now in the business of helping people publish their own books. His knowledge is second-to-none and he's a smart individual passionate about helping people - like me and you - to write and publish our own books. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #315 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Julien Smith (co-author of Trust Agents with Chris Brogan and the author of The Flinch) was downright mad at me. We have lunch on a frequent basis and we're constantly slamming ideas and names at one another. It makes for a lively conversation. The other week, he was downright disgusted with me because I had never met Chris Guillebeau. Chris is the author of The Art Of Non-Conformity - Set Your Own Rules, Live The Life You Want And Change The World and the recently published, The $100 Startup - Reinvent the Way You Make a Living, Do What You Love, and Create a New Future, which became an instant bestseller. Along with that, he's the co-organizer of what is quickly becoming one of the "go to" events for those trying to create a remarkable life in a very conventional world called, World Domination Summit (which took place at the beginning of this month in Portland, Oregon). This idea of non-conformity and unconventionalism is a theme that binds Chris' life. He's about to turn 35 and complete his personal journey of visiting every country on earth (out of close to 200, he has a mere 8 to go). While he's never had a "day job," he seems to be doing just fine owning, operating and executing on many micro-businesses. He explains that his entrepreneurial history has ranged from importing coffee from Jamaica, search engine optimization in its early days, Google Adwords and Adsense arbitrage, to building a small publishing company while volunteering in Africa. He now writes and sells a product he calls, Unconventional Guides. Simply put, he's a fascinating individuals with many business lessons that we could all learn from. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #298 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. We used to watch TV at night and discuss it the next day around the water cooler at work. Thanks to Social Media it's becoming increasingly more popular to share those magical TV moments on places like Facebook and Twitter while you're watching the show. The problem is that now with time-shifting and more and more people watching their favorite TV shows by downloading them from iTunes or watching them on Hulu, it's becoming abundantly clear that TV is becoming a very different medium. In their new book, Social TV - How Marketers Can Reach and Engage Audiences by Connecting Television to the Web, Social Media, and Mobile, marketing and communications professionals Mike Proulx and Stacey Shepatin from Hill Holliday look at the fascinating new world of TV and its convergence with Social Media.

Welcome to episode #297 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. How does creativity happen? Does it take a lot of time? Can brilliant creative just happen? What inspires creativity? Who is a creative? These are the questions and thoughts that we all engage and connect with as Marketing professionals in one way, shape or form at multiple times during our careers. We often lament the creatives as those who get to play all of the time or go to movies and grab coffees waiting for that moment of inspiration. Scratching beneath the surface, we begin to realize that those who we would hail as being the most creative are usually very hard and complex workers. It's a topic that is near and dear to the heart of Julie Burstein. In 2000, Julie created Studio 360 with Kurt Anderson for Public Radio International. It was a show that looked at creative people through in-depth conversation. Her first book, Spark - How Creativity Works, was one of those books that I just could not put down. Currently, she is the host of Pursuit of Spark - a Podcast that continues the conversations she started with her book, Spark. I had the pleasure of watching Julie present at this past TED conference and she was kind enough to spend some time with me, after her presentation, to discuss the topic of creativity and work.

Welcome to episode #296 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. I picked up the business book, The Art of the Pitch - Persuasion and Presentation Skills That Win Business, by Peter Coughter and could not put it down. My agency, Twist Image, was in the midst of a massive new business pitch and the book happened to fall into my lap at the perfect time. I devoured and loved the book. I learned a ton about the new business pitch process, and Coughter does a fantastic job of reframing what, exactly, needs to happen when a company pitches. The good news is that we won the business. The better news is that Coughter agreed to have a chat with me about his book and how to win new business. For over twenty years, Coughter was President of Siddall, Matus & Coughter Inc., one of the most respected advertising and communications agencies in the Southeast. His agency won industry awards and recognition from places like the American Marketing Association, One Show, Clios, Communications Arts, and many others. Today, he is a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University's Brandcenter, and to support his teaching habit, he spends a lot of time on the road working with organizations - from all walks of life - helping them to learn how to sell their ideas better.

Welcome to episode #295 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. While many companies were still lamenting a basic website back in the nineties, Gary Schwartz was already imagining how content, voice and mobility would change how we connect to one another... and the brands that serve us. For over a decade, Gary has been a leader in the mobile industry. He is CEO of Impact Mobile (offices in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, etc...), is Chair of the Mobile Entertainment Forum and Chair Emeritus of the Mobile Committee for the Internet Advertising Bureau. Recently, he published his first book, The Impulse Economy - Understanding mobile shoppers and what makes them buy. He brings a plethora of experience and insights from the mobile landscape to our marketing world, and it's a true privilege to have him as a guest on the show this week. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #294 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast.What does it take to create and nurture a modern marketing agency in this day and age? The answer is not as obvious as it used to be. From choosing the right services to offer and finding the proper pricing structure, to being able to clearly identify your services to your clients and potential clients, it's a complex business to build and (sometimes) an even harder business offering to sell to clients. Paul Roetzer grapples with this - each and every day - as he builds his own marketing agency, PR 20/20, by trying to use a very different model. The Cleveland-based marketing professional has a deep affinity for inbound marketing and new pricing models, which he shares in his first business book, The Marketing Agency Blueprint - The handbook for building hybrid, PR, SEO, Content, Advertising, and Web firms. We dig deep into some of the tougher questions, and as you will hear, it doesn't always end with a definite answer, but with more questions and more experimentation (in the great tradition of entrepreneurship).

Welcome to episode #293 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Mark W. Schaefer over at Grow Blog is about to publish his second book, Return On Influence - The Revolutionary Power of Klout, Social Scoring, and Influence Marketing, which dissects the fascinating world of scoring an individual consumer's true influence in the online channels. While this is already a very contentious issue, there's something bigger happening is our online world that bears reflection: what, exactly, is leadership? Is it how many people follow someone on Twitter? Is it the success of a Facebook campaign? What about a successful Blog? In this Podcast, Mark and I debate the merits of true marketing leadership and what brands need to know as they continue to struggle with success metrics and ROI. I should also mention that the audio conversation recorded a little strangely (so apologies for non-perfect audio quality). Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #292 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. When I got my first offer to speak in front of a large audience, I wasn't sure where to turn for more professional public speaking and presentation skills training. Many names of individuals and organizations were fed my way, but one name that kept rising to the top was Nick Morgan. I immediately purchased his book, Give Your Speech, Change The World, and it did - in fact - change my world and perception of what a presentation is really all about. I eagerly bought his other book, Trust Me, and have become not only a fan of his every move (which isn't as creepy as it sounds), but also of his Blog, Public Words. In the marketing world, the best ideas don't always win. One of the main reasons is because they're not presented well (in essence, a poor presentation can kill the best of ideas). Being a great presenter is a core capability of some of the most respected business leaders and marketing professionals we've seen to date. Nick Morgan knows how to get you there. Just take a listen.

Welcome to episode #291 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #20.20 of Across The Sound. Joseph Jaffe is widely regarded as one of the top Marketing Bloggers (Jaffe Juice) and Podcasters (both Jaffe Juice in audio and Jaffe Juice TV in video). He is the author of three excellent books (Life After The 30-Second Spot, Join The Conversation and Flip The Funnel). A long-time friend (and one of the main inspirations behind the Six Pixels of Separation Blog and Podcast), we've decided to hold monthly conversations, debates and back-and-forths that will dive a little deeper into the Digital Marketing and Social Media landscape. This is our 20th conversation (or, as I like to affectionately call it, Across The Sound 20.20). This week, we talk about Joe's latest venture, Evol8tion, and what can happen when Madison Avenue meets Mountain View. Are technology startups the future of marketing? Jaffe is banking on it.

Welcome to episode #289 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. As each year passes newer and more impressive forms of content marketing become available to brands. Social Media acted as a massive catalyst for this. We now live in a world where any business (or individuals) can publish their content - in text, images, audio and video - instantly (and for free) for the world to enjoy. The big question is this: is the world enjoying all of this branded content? Producing relevant and timely content is (and will continue) to be one of the biggest challenges and opportunities for brands as more and more clutter occurs. There's no one better than Joe Pulizzi to help us navigate through the noise. Pulizzi is the founder of the Content Marketing Institute and SocialTract. He writes one of the most popular Blogs on content marketing and is the co-author of two business books on the subject (Get Content. Get Customers and Managing Content Marketing).

Welcome to episode #288 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Is there any value in getting a degree in Marketing in this day and age? How well are the universities doing at providing an up-to-date curriculum to ensure that students graduating from Marketing are workplace ready? How has the digitization and New Media changed the way we educate our students about Marketing? Pushing this further, how are Marketers doing from the perspective of Marketing professors? Kenneth Wong is one of the leading marketing educators in the world. He holds the title of Associate Professor and Distinguished Professor of Marketing at Queen's School of Business and sits on the board of directors (with me) at the Canadian Marketing Association. Along with publishing his work in books and magazines, he's also a world-renowned speaker on Marketing, and if you've never seen his rant about "the margin sucking maggots," it is worth the price of admission alone.

Welcome to episode #287 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Why do most PR pitches suck? For the most part it has to do with the fact that they are either not focused or there is no relationship between the PR professional and the media outlet. It's a cold, dark and harsh world out there and Public Relations - as an industry - is also going through both a digitization and a brave new world where everyone is (or can be) a publisher. They very fabric of what it means to be a communications professional is changing, adapting and morphing. Leading this charge/change is Gini Dietrich. Gini Blog at Spin Sucks, is the founder and CEO of Arment Dietrich and is co-host of the very popular PR Podcast, Inside PR. As if that weren't enough, she has begun to create and launch products at Spin Sucks Pro and is about to launch a book called, Marketing In The Round, that she co-authored with Geoff Livingston. In this episode we attack and deconstruct everything from pitching Bloggers to the value of community and the changing face of communications. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #285 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Are you ready for some tough love? I often find that that brands have millions of questions about sales and marketing, but most of them are thinly veiled complaints about how they don't have the time or budget to make a lot of the strategies and tactics come to life. It becomes that much more depressing when you start uncovering that few brands are doing the bare bone basics well (if at all). Marcus Sheridan (known to many as The Sales Lion) brings a dash of motivational content coupled with a healthy helping of reality-based concepts that will make some of the most seasoned Marketers smack their heads with a, "why am I not doing this!" kind of motion. Before we dive into the discussion, please allow me to wish you (and yours) a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #284 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Brands act like machines because brands are not people.

His first business book, Brand Against The Machine - How to Build Your Brand, Cut Through the Marketing Noise and Stand Out from the Competition, was recently released and he's here to discuss the new brand blueprint that he thinks will make brands a little less like machines... and more like us.

Welcome to episode #283 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #19.20 of Across The Sound. Joseph Jaffe is widely regarded as one of the top Marketing Bloggers (Jaffe Juice) and Podcasters (both Jaffe Juice in audio and Jaffe Juice TV in video). He is the author of three excellent books (Life After The 30-Second Spot, Join The Conversation and Flip The Funnel). A long-time friend (and one of the main inspirations behind the Six Pixels of Separation Blog and Podcast), we've decided to hold monthly conversations, debates and back-and-forths that will dive a little deeper into the Digital Marketing and Social Media landscape. This is our 19th conversation (or, as I like to affectionately call it, Across The Sound 19.20). Can great creative happen fast or does great creative take time? Can great creative be paid for in hours (the traditional agency model) or is better to be paid for value? We were both inspired by an Ad Age Blog post titled, Great Ideas Don't Take As Much Time As Many Ad Agencies Claim, by Scott Montgomery and this is what unfolded. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #282 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Is there a way to ride on the coattails of a major breaking news story for your brand's benefit? It sounds crazy (maybe even a little sketchy), but it's all in the execution. Best-selling business book, author, David Meerman Scott (author of The New Rules of Marketing & PR, Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead, World Wide Rave, Real-Time Marketing & PR, etc...) just launched his latest book, Newsjacking - How to Inject your Ideas into a Breaking News Story and Generate Tons of Media Coverage, in digital format only, with a major book publisher (Wiley), for under eight dollars. How did he do it? He launched it on the same week as Amazon's Kindle Fire in the hopes of capturing some exposure. It's something that brands have been doing forever, but now everyone can take part in (so long as they truly understand the opportunities and how to do it with class and expertise). Never one to mince words, David is always entertaining and engaged in pushing our marketing industry forward. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #281 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #40 of Media Hacks. Joining me for this chat is C.C. Chapman, Hugh McGuire and Julien Smith. In a world of unconferences, crowdsourcing and Social Media, it's surprising how many people struggle with the messages coming out of the Occupy Wall Street movement. If anything, it is a testament to everything that has been built in these online channels for the past decade. In this episode, we look at the media, the messages and how - in a world of media fragmentation - we can't be freaked out when people's messages become fragmented as well. This is not so much about politics as it is about the media, messages and the social implications of power and publishing. As with all episodes of Media Hacks, some of the language is not safe for work (blame Julien). Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #280 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. What's going on up there? I mean in your brain. Is it possible that our marketing efforts can embed themselves so deep in our psyche that it makes Inception look like The Sound of Music? You may have heard about neuromarketing and how major companies leverage things like brain scans and more to better understand how a brand resonates with consumers, well Roger Dooley is here to show us how every business (small, medium and large) can leverage this information (and it doesn't cost much!) to better brand and market their wares. Dooley is best know for his Blog, Neuromarketing, and just recently released his first book, Brainfluence - 100 Ways to Persuade and Convince Consumers with Neuromarketing. If you're curious to know how deep a brand can go, this Podcast is for you. Enjoy the conversation... Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast - Episode #280 - Host: Mitch Joel.

Welcome to episode #279 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. I wish more people would read (more) books. In a world of Blog, Podcasts, Twitter, magazines and more, I still get the most value out of reading and thinking about a good book over anything else. If you've been playing along at home, you'll know that a frequent guest on the show (and one of the Media Hacks co-host) is Hugh McGuire. Along with starting one of the most interesting open source projects, LibriVox (for audio books based on books in the public domain), Hugh also works on book and publishing start-ups. He's currently got iambik and PressBooks rolling, but hasn't stopped there. Just recently, he launched a new book (which he co-edited with Brian O'Leary) for O'Reilly called, Book: A Futurist's Manifesto. The book publishing industry is going through dramatic change and digitization. With that comes some fascinating lessons for marketers and marketing. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #278 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Do you know what the ultimate question for your business is? The evolution of customer service and brand loyalty is a topic that has captured the imagination of Fred Reichheld for over twenty years. In 1996, the Bain Fellow published his first book, The Loyalty Effect: The Hidden Force Behind Growth, Profits, and Lasting Value. Recently, Reichheld (along with co-author, Rob Markey) published a newly updated version of his 2006 seminal book, The Ultimate Question (now titled, The Ultimate Question 2.0). So, in case you were wondering, the ultimate question is: "How likely is it that you would recommend this company to a friend or colleague?" A businesses ability to not only understand the answer to this question, but to benchmark their success, led Reichheld to create and champion the Net Promoter Score System - which companies (the world over) now use to define how much love their consumers have for them. It was an honor that Fred agreed to take part in this chat. Enjoy the conversation... Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast - Episode #278 - Host: Mitch Joel.

Welcome to episode #277 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #18.20 of Across The Sound. Joseph Jaffe is widely regarded as one of the top Marketing Bloggers (Jaffe Juice) and Podcasters (both Jaffe Juice in audio and Jaffe Juice TV in video). He is the author of three excellent books (Life After The 30-Second Spot, Join The Conversation and Flip The Funnel). A long-time friend (and one of the main inspirations behind the Six Pixels of Separation Blog and Podcast), we've decided to hold monthly conversations, debates and back-and-forths that will dive a little deeper into the Digital Marketing and Social Media landscape. This is our 18th conversation (or, as I like to affectionately call it, Across The Sound 18.20). While neither of us can claim to be politicians or economist, we discuss the power, value and merits of #occupywallstreet and how Social Media continues to play a pivotal role in our redesigned world.

If you're thinking about online communities, conversations and the true power of Social Media, you need to be following Valeria Maltoni. She helped build Fast Company Magazine's online community back in the day and since then, Valeria has become a true advocate for the power of marketers to build online communities and how to leverage and nurture online influencers as brand champions.

Welcome to episode #275 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. When one person, a MacBook computer and an iPad can create a multi-million (or multi-billion!) dollar business, it changes the face of business as we know it. This evolution of business has given rise to a nation of startups. The challenge is that resources are still tight, they are being developed on razor sharp budgets and everyone is trying to figure out how to become the next Mark Zuckerburg or Steve Jobs. The reality is that most people will fail. Thankfully, many entrepreneurs have walked this path before, and they are sharing how to think and build a modern startup. One of the latest innovations is the concept of The Lean Startup that was created by Eric Ries. In the past little while, Eric published his first book on the topic, The Lean Startup. Now, whether you're starting a new business or thinking desperately about innovation within a bigger organization, the concepts that Eric talks about are fascinating. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #274 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Think about some of the most iconic bands in the history of rock n' roll. It can be anybody and everybody from U2 and the Grateful Dead to KISS and AC/DC. While the guitar riffs stick in our brains like gum on hot cement, there's something more powerful happening beneath the surface: these rock bands are all amazing brands. The true embodiment of a great brand can be defined by seeing the cult-like affection that raving fans have for their favorite bands. This concept pushed music industry veteran, Steve Jones, to write the book, Brand Like A Rock Star. The truth is that most brands probably don't emote the same kind of feelings that some of our most favorite rock bands give us, but there are some key lessons that every brand can learn from our favorite brands.

Welcome to episode #273 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Seth Godin is more than a Marketer's Marketer, he's quickly becoming a major book publisher that is making the other major book publisher's nervous. He threatened to re-invent the book publishing business earlier this year with The Domino Project (powered by Amazon) and, with close to ten titles already released (all of the best-sellers), he has yet to disappoint. It turns out, that publishing other business book authors has also inspired him to write even more. His latest book, We Are All Weird, is a blunt look at the end of mass media and what this all means to marketers still scrambling to save traditional advertising (hint: it ain't pretty). As usual, Seth is insightful, funny and always provocative (part of the reason each and every one of his own books are consistent best-sellers). Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #271 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Jeff Jarvis has a sharp tongue. Meaning: he is opinionated and often right about how New Media intersects with our traditional ways and what this impact has on our society. His first business book, What Would Google Do?, was a massive best-seller. His latest, Public Parts, looks set to topple it. Along with that, his Blog, BuzzMachine, is a complete source of media goodness as he continues to explore how our society adapts to the new ways in which we communicate and share information. When he's not doing interesting public media projects with Twitter or hashtags, you can find him working on the interactive journalism program and the new business models for news project at the City University of New York's Graduate School of Journalism.  It's always a pleasure speaking with Jeff and I'm always honored when he takes the time to connect.

Welcome to episode #269 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. If you have never heard an episode of The Beancast podcast with Bob Knorpp, stop listening to this and pop over to check out (at least) one of his episodes. Along with being a writer for Ad Age, Knorpp's Beancast is a staple in the advertising industry news diet. Each week he grabs a handful of very diverse advertising luminaries and digs down deep into the current hot topics (I've had the pleasure of being a guest on a handful of episodes - the non-luminary ones, no doubt). In this episodes we discuss everything from the merits of audio podcasting to the current state of advertising and if true marketing integration is happening or if we're still stuck in a world filled with sucky 30-second spots.
