Committing 10 years to YouTube and adding value and creating a library of Dan's legacy. Dan Martell is the founder and CEO of SaaS Academy, the world's No. 1 coaching program for B2B SaaS founders, he's also a triathlete, award winning investor, and soon to be author. (Listen to find out more about his upcoming book!). Dan has also founded and sold three B2B software companies. In this episode of the Content Capitalists podcast, Dan shares his rather disorderly and challenging teenage years, at 15 years old finding himself in a high-speed chase with the cops and almost taking his own life, as well as ending up in jail twice by the time he was 17. At 21 years old, Dan was 260 lbs, smoking cigarettes, and a more introverted character. So, how did Dan get to where he is today? What was the ‘yellow book' that inevitably changed his life? Listen to hear from Dan himself, what drives him to do what he does, the approach he takes when committing to new business ventures and projects, and where he's headed in the future. Dan's wisdom on how he lives on just 10% of his income, why he's been posting video content consistently for over seven years on Youtube, and his passion for helping other business owners is nothing short of an exemplary example of why you should consume his valuable video content any chance you get. Dan says his growth game is so strong, that who he is today isn't who he'll be in a year.

We sneaked up the river Liffey in a Viking long boat and kidnapped arguably Ireland’s greatest marketer for a natter; Colin Lewis. Colin’s vast experience and multiple industry awards come from a career that includes working at iconic brands like BMI, 118118, Thomas Cook and CityJet, and from working all over the world, from Australia to Hong Kong, Japan, and the UK and Ireland. He’s also a speaker, lecturer and teacher, educating brands such as Unilever, Facebook, Ryanair, and Heineken. This pod is packed with nuggets of golden insight as Colin talks to us on strategy, friction, robot car racing, the value of teaching and education in marketing, how to truly be market orientated, turning into a grumpy old man, and lots more. We also assume he has an exclusive membership for The Long Room Library at Dublin’s Trinity College, as he is one of the best-read people we’ve ever spoken to, and he’s shared tonnes of tomes below. ///// Colin Links: Follow Colin on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinlewis/) And on Twitter (https://twitter.com/colinalewis) Read his Marketing Week articles (https://www.marketingweek.com/author/colin-lewis/) And check out his website (http://colinlewis.me) Book Recommendations: Good Strategy Bad Strategy (https://www.amazon.com/Good-Strategy-Bad-Difference-Matters/dp/0307886239) by Richard Rumelt How Brands Grow (https://www.amazon.com/How-Brands-Grow-What-Marketers/dp/0195573560) by Byron Sharp The Creativity Code (https://www.amazon.com/Creativity-Code-Art-Innovation-Age/dp/0674988132) by Marcus Du Sautoy Vanished Kingdoms (https://www.amazon.com/Vanished-Kingdoms-Rise-States-Nations/dp/0143122959) by Norman Davies Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind (https://www.amazon.com/Positioning-Battle-Your-Al-Ries/dp/0071373586) by Al Ries, Jack Trout, Philip Kotler Deep Work (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distracted/dp/1455586692) by Cal Newport Competitive Strategy (https://www.amazon.com/Competitive-Strategy-Techniques-Industries-Competitors/dp/0684841487) by Michael E.

Rod Khleif is a multiple business owner and philanthropist who has owned over 2,000 apartment buildings. He has experienced his net worth dropping from $50 million to zero and then rebuilding. Rod shares Episode Highlights: Rod’s family immigrated from Holland when he was 6 years old and they didn’t have much money. Rod learned that most of your success comes back to mindset. Build relationships with people who think that what you do is easy when you think it’s hard so you can glean tips from them. If you’re willing to do what other people won’t do, you’ll find success because you’ll be getting results no one else is. Find a moment where you’re energized, awake, and well-hydrated to sit down and write every goal, from the practical to the seemingly insane, that you want to achieve in your lifetime, and who you want to help. Set a timeline for each of those goals, or else it isn’t a goal, and then identify your top goals and write a paragraph about why that goal is absolutely essential and non-negotiable. Also identify the pain points and consequences of not achieving those goals, because we will do more to avoid pain than we will to achieve pleasure. The most successful and happiest people start giving back as soon as possible and shift the focus away from their own egos. To build a brand, you have to add value to people’s lives. By giving away content for free, you learn what resonates with people and therefore what to monetize. Who you know allows you to free up brain space because you don’t have to learn and know everything when you have people you can ask and use as resources. The Random Round: a quick series of random questions to get to know Rod. 3 Key Points: Never achieve a big goal without having more goals lined up for the future. Success is defined by giving back once you achieve. The biggest non-negotiable skills for success are sales, marketing, and curiosity. Tweetable Quotes: “There are people that think that what you think is hard is so freaking easy.” –Rod Khleif “As human beings, we will overestimate what we can do in a year, and massively underestimate what we can do in ten years.” –Rod Khleif “Your network is your net worth.” –Rod Khleif Resources Mentioned: Rod Khleif: Podcast (https://rodkhleif.com/lifetime-cashflow-podcast/) The Five Love Languages (https://www.5lovelanguages.com/) The Slight Edge (https://www.amazon.com/Slight-Edge-Turning-Disciplines-Happiness/dp/1626340463) Turning Pro (https://www.amazon.com/Turning-Pro-Inner-Power-Create/dp/1936891034) The One Thing (https://www.amazon.com/ONE-Thing-Surprisingly-Extraordinary-Results/dp/1885167776) by Gary Keller Visit Travis’ website at Buildyournetwork.co (http://www.buildyournetwork.co/) Join the Build Your Network Facebook group BYN.media/fb (http://www.buildyournetwork.co/fb/) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here byn.university (https://www.facebook.com/groups/bynuniversity) .

Today's guest is Xanthe Berkeley, a photographer, film maker, stop motion artist and visual story-teller. From her beginnings in lifestyle portrait photography for families and women, to guiding and inspiring others to start making their own films, through her workshops and online film courses. Xanthe has worked with many leading UK brands, such as Boden, Cath Kidston, The White Company, Twinings, Penguin Books, Warner Music, Etsy UK to name just a few – creating films, stop motions and photos to be shared across their social media channels. In today's conversation, we get straight to the crux of the Courage to Be and what that means to Xanthe. We hear how Xanthe, despite her success as a creative, still struggles with resistance and self-doubt but see these as merely part of the process and shares ways in which she moves through them. Some key take-aways: Being brave is a big part of being a creative. You can have talent or skill but you have to be brave enough to share it with people, to experiment, to play and to try things out. With more experience comes more bravery. You now have evidence to show you that last time you left your comfort zone the rewards followed. You can begin to see the link between courage and reward. One of her skills has been her capacity to move through resistance. "Even when your head is telling you that you're not good enough" you've got to move through it. The "who am I not to have a go" mindset has definitely worked for Xanthe. Xanthe draws on Ira Glass both in her own work and in her teachings to hundreds of students around the world: “Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it's just not that good. It's trying to be good, it has potential, but it's not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this." When you first start out you know that what you're doing is not as good as what you see out there (be that on on Pinterest, instagram etc) but that doesn't mean you stop, you have to use that as an incentive to get better and to keep practicing and keep trying. You can't expect to be brilliant straight away, it's about putting the work in.... “Keep going, keep creating, keep doing and keep practicing..." For creatives who want to go from part-time creative work to full-time - it is simple - "keep doing the work". Create don't wait. Start doing the work you want to do today. Don't wait for an email from that ideal client. Xanthe shares a great story of this as it relates to her work with leading UK brand Boden. Test and learn is key, let things grow organically through play and experiment. She now trusts that things will work out - the evidence has shown her that she always finds a way. "I wish someone told me resistance and self doubt are never going to away!" However, self-doubt and resistance are just thoughts and you can push them aside. Try it ,give it a go, believe in yourself and know that the self doubt is there but don't let it stop you. We are always working towards getting better - "when I look at some of the first films that I made I think oh my goodness they are a disaster but at the time they were good enough". Xanthe talks to the natural ebb and flow of being a creative and shares her experience of launching an e-course that didn't take off, explaining how awful it felt at the time but how it was really just another contributor of her growth today. "Not everything works, you can't be a creative and be a human and everything you do is amazing. You need the little failures to make you human" I do hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, what a inspirational, colourful, humble human - thank you Xanthe x You'll find Xanthe on https://www.xantheberkeley.com/about-me/ or follow her on instragram for daily inspiration, fun and colour https://instagram.com/xantheb?igshid=1ss7ox4jqhc48 Please do subscribe on your favourite podcast app - and even better, leave a review, I would love to hear your feedback.
