We're like, "Hey, here's this really exciting thing!" And it's exciting for us. But for them, they're like, "I already have all this work that I'm expected to do, and you want to like change everything now?"  [00:00:19] Welcome DoorGrow property managers to the DoorGrow show. If you are a property management entrepreneur that wants to add doors, make a difference, increase revenue, help others, impact lives, and you are interested in growing in business and life, and you're open to doing things a bit differently then you are a DoorGrow property manager. DoorGrow property managers love the opportunities, daily variety, unique challenges, and freedom that property management brings. [00:00:44] Many in real estate think you're crazy for doing it. You think they're crazy for not because you realize that property management is the ultimate, high trust gateway to real estate deals, relationships, and residual income. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. [00:01:00] We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. I'm your host, property management growth expert, Jason Hull, the founder and CEO of DoorGrow, along with Sarah Hull, co owner and COO of DoorGrow. Now let's get into the show. All right. So we just got back from doing what?  [00:01:25] Sarah: We went to two events back to back, which is a little crazy, but we did it. So we went to a Mastermind right outside of Nashville, Tennessee. And right after that, we went to a big event down in Orlando. It's Funnel Hacking Live. [00:01:41] So we were gone for like a whole week.  [00:01:45] Jason: Yeah, a whole week of travel and events and how'd you like it?  [00:01:50] Sarah: I loved it. So it was a lot in a short amount of time especially with the travel. So we did four cities in three days. So that was kind of crazy, but it was really great. [00:02:02] And then it was funny because we did our mastermind event and right after that, then we went to Funnel Hacking Live, and on the way to, and like from both of these events, we were then watching like an online course from Alex Hormozi. So it was just like information overload.  [00:02:21] Jason: Yeah so much. We have a lot of ideas. We do. We took a lot of notes. We have a lot of notes, a lot of ideas, and it can be a bit overwhelming. A lot of you probably feel like that when you go to events. You get a lot of ideas, a lot of stuff. And so we talked about how we need, like when we have some space, because we're getting caught up in all the work that we missed and everybody needing us. [00:02:45] We need to block out at least a day or two to really just digest all of the stuff that we got and to prioritize it and figure out where's this going to fit in with what we're doing. So for you, what are some of the key takeaways that you got that you feel like you are motivated to work on as a result of all the stuff that we just downloaded? [00:03:07] Sarah: Well, there's so many things I think if I were to have to choose right now and prioritize, I think probably like building my own personal brand would be on the top of the list. And doing the thing that I hate the most, which is social media. Yay. I hate social media so much. I just hate it, but it's a thing that you've got to do, I guess. [00:03:31] Jason: Yeah. So a lot of people I think make the mistake of trying to build up the business brand on social media. Which generally is a lot less effective because people want to interact with people and most of the people that you follow are not a business, they're a person, right? And so I think that's one of the things that took away too, is I need to really focus on building up my personal brand. [00:03:54] You need to focus on building up your personal brand and those two personal brands combined, you know, if we're focused on a business brand can feed that, but really, people want to connect with people. And so I've been really putting a lot more effort into short form video, cranking out a lot more content so that I can build a bigger and bigger following. [00:04:14] And the one thing that really stuck out to me related to that is the importance of consistency and doing a piece of content every single day, rain or shine and so this is something we're trying to get in place so that we can crank out something every single day.  [00:04:34] Sarah: Every day. So I'm going to go from not doing social media to doing social media every day. It sounds horrible. [00:04:44] Jason: Yeah. And I mean, from the first event we went to, one of the things that I took away is I need to go live a lot more often I need to be really contributing and adding value to our free Facebook group, which if you're a property manager, make sure you're in it. DoorGrowClub.Com and just providing value and not being so worried about everything looking perfect. [00:05:08] You know, one of our mentors, he's just like driving, he's in a t shirt, like he just goes live in that group all the time. But then also putting out like nicely branded content on short form videos, something that I took away from the Funnel Hacking Live event that we went to, and putting that out every single day. [00:05:26] And they showed these examples, right, of, you know, women and men that had done something every single day for a year, and how things just started to explode. Yeah. Eventually, once the algorithm learned they were going to be there, and they had a topic, and they were consistent, and they started to build an audience, then they started to get featured, and then they started to explode. [00:05:47] Sarah: And then also, the other thing, too, is there are a few examples of this, where I don't remember which girl it was, maybe it was Jodi, maybe Jodi, I don't remember, but she was saying "Well, my brother was going to start this business and then he started doing social media content and then he stopped and I had asked him like, 'Hey, how are things going?' [00:06:04] And he's like, 'ah, yeah, I stopped doing that.'" And she said, "well, what do you mean you stopped?" And he's like, "no, I didn't, it didn't work. Nothing happened from it." And he had only done it for a very short period of time, so he gave up. And I think that's what happens is people give up long before they get results in anything. [00:06:23] And it's not just social media it's oftentimes in anything, you know, they're, you know, trying to make relationships with investors or with other real estate agents or their neighbor property managers you know, and they're like, "well, it didn't work, you know, I called, you know, I sent 500 emails and I did, you know, 100 calls and it didn't work." [00:06:40] Yeah. And then if you quit before you get the results, it's never going to work, right? So you can guarantee failure if you stop.  [00:06:48] Jason: Yeah. I think one of the things I realized is that we grossly underestimate the amount of work that people put into something to achieve success or to get a result. And so, like, we learned this watching one of the Hormozi videos. [00:07:06] He was talking about the sample size sometimes is just too small. He was like, " I did 300 flyers and I didn't get any calls." and he said, how many, did the guy do a day? 5,000. He's like, "I do 5,000 a day." He did 3,000 one time, like in a month. And he was like, "oh. This is what I thought was required. It's actually this."  [00:07:27] Sarah: Think about it, like if you're doing 300, if you contact 300 people, yeah, did you tap out your market? And the answer to that is probably no. Are there more than 300 investors in your market? I bet there are. [00:07:39] Are there more than 300 real estate agents where you are? Unless you're in a tiny little podunk town like I was, you probably are.  [00:07:47] Jason: Yeah, so that's something that really stood out to me is I'm not doing enough. And so the level of work and the level of commitment that some of these entrepreneurs had in their businesses. [00:07:59] really created some contrast for me. I was like, "wow, I'm not doing that." So what did I do? Like we're back. It was Monday yesterday. And I was like, all right, I got up at like four in the morning 4:30 in the morning. And I just worked on connecting and reaching out to a hundred people. So I sent out like a hundred voice messages to Instagram followers. [00:08:23] That's my goal is to just crank out connecting to a hundred people every day and just do this. And that will create some connection and that will start to build stuff up. And if I put in the reps doing that, and then maybe get some support, I also challenged my team, like, see if you can reach out to a hundred people each day. [00:08:43] So we'll see if we start to see some results. And I already started having conversations just from the initial outreach. So if I just do that every day, that should have a significant impact on the business and it compounds over time. And so then I'm also cranking out a lot more videos like this morning, you know, I'm took my daughter to school. On the way back where I'm not having to listen to Taylor Swift or I listen to her talk about Taylor Swift and tell me all the, like, theories and ideas about Taylor Swift. Like what's her cat's name. Right, like, all this stuff about Taylor Swift because she's like a Taylor Swift fanatic. [00:09:17] Like, as soon as she's out of the car, I started recording videos while I'm driving. So then I have some, like, I've got my phone, I know how to get home, so, like, It's recording videos and I'm just talking about some different things. Hardest is sometimes just think, what should I talk about? So sometimes I'm asking chat GPT, like, "what should I talk about?" [00:09:34] You know, And generating some prompts. And another thing that I learned about, or that really kind of sunk in a little more effectively was the idea of having hooks. A lot of people think they have a lead problem or a lead magnet problem or a lead gen problem. And really what Steven Larson, a friend of mine mentioned is you really just have a hook problem. [00:10:03] You just don't have a good hook to capture people's attention in the first three to five seconds, that hook on a phone call matters on your marketing matters more than anything else. And so not having a good hook in the beginning can really cause you to lose a lot of money if you're spending money on advertising. [00:10:21] So I'm now trying to be more conscious of the hook at the beginning of my videos that I'm creating and being more effective at creating hooks that capture attention or that are a pattern interrupt to get people to pay attention. Because if I don't do that. It doesn't matter how good the content is. [00:10:39] Sarah: So I think one of the other things too is, and this happens every time we've seen it over and over again with our clients too, is they'll come, they'll go, especially one of our events because we jam pack stuff. So they'll come to one of the events and then they're like, "yeah, but I have so many great ideas. I don't know how to implement all of it." Or they're like, "yeah, but I don't know if my team will go for that. Like, I want to do that, but like, I just don't know if my team is going to go for that." And I think it's really common when someone goes to an event and they were there. So they had that experience. They saw everything they experienced at all. Like it sunk in, it hit them and they're like, "oh yeah, like it's super clear to me why we have to do this." And then they want to come back and they want to change things in the business and their team didn't have that same experience. Yeah, so the team wasn't at the event. [00:11:27] The team is like, "hey, we're just holding down the fort while you're out, you know, doing this event," and then you come back like a crazy person and you're like "guys, we're going to change the whole business model! We're going to start doing things like this. We're going to do things like this instead and we're going to do all of this and I got all these great ideas and here's what we're going to do!" And the team was like, "what are you talking about? Why?" Like You come in hot like a crazy person. And I think there's kind of a better way to approach it. The one of the things I think that's really helpful. Is having some sort of strategic planning system like we use DoorGrow OS. That's our operating system. It's also available for you guys. If you're interested, it's like 97 bucks a month but it's a really great planning system so that instead of coming back with like 20,000 ideas and going, "yeah, I'm going to implement all of them." [00:12:15] Realistically, you're not. Realistically, there are going to be things that are going to be priority and they take precedence and then there are going to be things that maybe you never do. And they're going to be things that you want to do, but they're going to be way down the line. And you need to really find a way to like organize all of this stuff and then prioritize. [00:12:32] What are we actually going to do right now? Like, what would be the biggest thing that we could do right now to move the business forward? So something like that would help and having your team involved in that is a really great way to make sure that your team is actually bought in Instead of you coming back and coming like "hey, we're going to do this. We're going to do that this, and we're changing this and we're like going to hire these people and maybe we're going to fire, you know, John over there." Then the team is like "whoa!" like they feel like railroaded because they didn't have the same experience that you had. [00:13:03] So having a meeting, we're going to do this to o, having a meeting with your team and just sharing the ideas. And you're not saying, "we're going to do this." All you're doing is just sharing the ideas that you learned. And that way it's like, "hey guys, I like, I learned this really cool thing and it kind of sparked an idea. I'd like to talk about that and see if it makes sense. Like, what do you guys think about this?" And that way you're involving your team in it instead of just saying, "we're going to do this." And they're like, "oh, I don't want to do that." We have to keep in mind that people don't like change. Change is scary. [00:13:37] It's different. It's like you're getting them outside of their comfort zone and outside of their box. But if they're part of the conversation, and they feel like they have input, and like their opinion in the whole discussion actually matters and counts for something, they'll be a lot more bought in to whatever ideas you actually decide to implement and move forward with. [00:13:59] Jason: Yeah, I think that's really important. It's difficult because we come back from an event and then we pull the pin on a grenade and throw it into the middle of the room with our team. We're like, "Hey, here's this really exciting thing!" And it's exciting for us. But for them, they're like, "I already have all this work that I'm expected to do, and you want to like change everything now?" And so our team members, they're not entrepreneurs for a reason, right? They want a job that gives them safety and security. They want peace. And we get a kick out of innovating, doing new things, changing stuff a lot of times. And we have this big picture vision and we're risk takers to start a business. [00:14:38] We're cowboys and cowgirls. We're wild, right? And that can really be disruptive to the business if we don't get them gently to buy into the vision. And there's a way to do that, right? We do that through DoorGrow OS and through how we plan here at DoorGrow. You and I will probably talk about a bunch of ideas. [00:14:57] We've already been talking a ton about all these different ideas that we got and all the things we could implement, all the things that we can do. And then we can figure out what we want to prioritize before we just go bombard the team with everything. And then we have a cadence of planning. So the things that do matter to us, we can start to mix into our cadence of planning, but there's a lot of things that we got from this that you and I can just take action on right away. Yeah. Without messing with the team at all. But it doesn't impact the team in any way, well, maybe inadvertently, but if I just start creating a whole bunch more videos, right? That's my time or I can spend.. [00:15:36] Sarah: Madi will hear this and be like, "really it doesn't affect the team?"  [00:15:39] Jason: Yeah, I know. My daughter who does the video editing and social media. [00:15:43] Madi, I'm with you.  [00:15:44] She'll be editing this episode and saying "right, right"  [00:15:48] Sarah: Her face yesterday. Yeah. You're like, "I want to do a short form video every day," and she goes like, "every day? Like every...?" And she's like, "how soon are we going to do that?" And he's like, "as soon as possible."  [00:15:58] Jason: That was kind of a grenade. Yeah. And that may mean you, you need to build out the team a little bit. Maybe we need additional people, who knows, but.  [00:16:05] Sarah: So I think one of the things too that Aaron pointed out in the first part of our mastermind event that we went to is. Your team really needs consistency and your team needs to know that who they're working for is like, you're a safe bet because there's a lot of jobs out there. [00:16:24] They can go work for just about anyone, and they're with you. They need to trust you to of course, change things and move things forward but do so in a way that doesn't completely disrupt, you know, their sense of safety. So doing things slower than probably we would want to do them is really important, right? [00:16:48] Because then if you come back and you just. Yep it's a great analogy, just throwing the grenade in. It's, that is not safe. That is not steady. That is not slow. That's like, "hey, we went to this event, we were gone for a week, and in the week we decided to change everything about the business." The team's like, "what?" [00:17:06] that means every time that you go to an event, your team is going to be panicked. Your team is going to panic. They're going to go, "oh god. They're going somewhere again. Oh crap. Now what?" And if we have this kind of sense of like impeding doom in the business then you can implement all of the ideas or none of the ideas or just one it won't even matter what you do because your team, they need to be bought in and they need to feel safe, so that they're on board with actually doing things However you're going to do them, it doesn't matter, but if you don't have the support of the team, and you aren't doing a good job at holding the, like, a good container for them, then you're not doing yourself any favors. [00:17:51] Jason: Yeah, good stuff. Well, we have an event that's coming up in May. Which will be DoorGrow live. So people have plenty of time to get ready for this. So if you want to be part of An event where you get a bunch of ideas and you can get a grenade to throw at your team, I'm joking, then make sure you come to our DoorGrow live event It's it really is an awesome event.  [00:18:15] Okay, cool.

This week's episode is sponsored by Cloudflare Pages (https://enjoythevue.io/cloudflare-pages)! Laurie Barth, or Laurie on Tech as she is well-known in the dev industry, is a software engineer who started as a mathematician, currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at Netflix. Additionally, Laurie is a content creator and technical educator across various mediums. She is also a frequent conference speaker, speaking at events across the globe, and a technical blogger contributing to publications such as CSS Tricks, Smashing Magazine, and A List Apart, as well as an active member of the TC39 Educator's committee and a Google Developer Expert. In today's episode, we share some of our more memorable job interview experiences, both good and bad, but mostly terrible, and we dive into how those experiences could be improved upon, starting with the company setting realistic expectations for potential candidates from the beginning. We also touch on unnecessary and unfair technical demonstrations, the value of affording candidates the option to show themselves in their best light, and the inherent biases that exist when interview panels aren't diverse, and Laurie highlights the power that candidates actually have given the shortage of engineers making this appeal to listeners: take some of that power back! Tune in today for all this and so much more, including, of course, our weekly picks. Key Points From This Episode: Laurie shares a terrible technical interview that stands out from her experience. Why a generic interview format very rarely makes sense for any company. Why companies need to set their expectations at the beginning of the interview. The importance of recognizing how much time it takes to develop a technical interview. Why you can't steal an interview from elsewhere rather than writing one yourself. The value of judging what is important based on the signal a company is looking for. Alex talks about one of the more memorable (read: terrible) interviews he has been through. Ari reflects on a pair programming interview that she describes as ‘interesting'. The pressure that is put onto incoming developers to demonstrate their technical skills when it isn't necessary for the role they will fill. Laurie emphasizes why companies should be looking for someone to augment their team. Why it's not about working with people ‘smarter' than you, but people you can learn from. Laurie's frustration with the use of trivia questions and the benefits of offering candidates options to present themselves in their best light. Tessa's turn to share her experience with a terrible interview that featured live UI coding. The disconnect that exists between hiring managers, recruiters, and candidates. Laurie highlights the power that candidates hold given the shortage of engineers and urges listeners to take that power back. What Ari calls ‘douchebag alert' questions, how people answer, and what it says about them. The gender bias that typically exists when interview panels aren't gender diverse. Why it's important for team members to meet potential candidates and vice versa. Tessa shares the acronym, REACTO: repeat, example, approach, code, test, optimize. How interviews tend to cater towards those who are extroverted, outgoing, and talkative. Laurie highlights some positive interview experiences and what companies can do better. Alex shares a tip about asking the same question of everybody, such as “what is the focus of your company?” Tweetables: “People can't read your mind. You need to preface, you need to set your expectations at the beginning [of the interview].” — @laurieontech (https://twitter.com/laurieontech) [0:07:45] “I want to work with people who are smarter than I am, but here's the trip: everyone is smarter than I am. It depends what the measuring stick is and what category we're talking about.” — @laurieontech (https://twitter.com/laurieontech) [0:26:51] “The goal of an interview, in my mind, should be for people to show you what they know instead of what they don't know. If you're giving people options, you are giving them the opportunity to present themselves in their absolute [best light].” — @laurieontech (https://twitter.com/laurieontech) [0:29:59] “Right now, in this moment in time, unless you are an entry level candidate, the candidates have all the power. There's such a shortage of engineers. I would like to see people taking that power back a little bit.” — @laurieontech (https://twitter.com/laurieontech) [0:38:41] “Interviews, pretty much no matter what you do, will always somewhat cater to people who are extroverted and outgoing and talkative. The only way I challenge that is I think people who can't communicate about their code at all are probably not great engineers.” — @laurieontech (https://twitter.com/laurieontech) [0:48:47] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: laurieontech.com (https://laurieontech.com) @laurieontech on Twitter (twitter.com/laurieontech) Fortnite (Windows, macOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, iOS, Android) (https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/home) LEGO (https://www.lego.com/) Wingspan (https://stonemaiergames.com/games/wingspan/) (Boardgame) Heal & Glow Facial Serum (https://www.shopplantbasedbeauty.com/shop-our-store/organic-heal-and-glow-facial-serum) How Not to Be Wrong (https://bookshop.org/books/how-not-to-be-wrong-the-power-of-mathematical-thinking/9780143127536), Jordan Ellenberg Special Guest: Laurie Barth.

Sherry and Carla start the show talking about how good it feels to have in-person meetups with friends again (taking safety precautions) and then take a Love Fix question about how to know when it's right for your new love interest to see where you live. Then, they welcome coach and Marriage and Family Therapist Bree Jenkins on, where she talks about the current landscape of digital dating. Bree shares the important things to make sure you have if you are back out there online looking for love, and how to see ghosting as a blessing. Bree also gives us an easy way to spot red flags in both our own behavior and within our dates, and it leads to a discussion about disclosing a previous affair in a new relationship.   What You'll Hear In This Episode:   Whether you are out and about and back to normal activities or still chilling indoors, the pandemic has had a substantial impact on our stress levels. It's important to take care of yourself now more than ever. A Love Fix question on when to invite your date to finally see where you live? Bree created her Diamond Dating League to help her students learn how to manifest a healthy committed relationship or marriage, and get what they really want out of life. What red flags should we look for in our own behavior that may show us we aren't ready to date quite yet? Bree discusses the three “A”'s that we need to be aware of: addiction, abuse, and affairs. Do you need to let the person you are now dating know if you had an affair in your previous relationship? If so, how do you know when the right time is to share it with them? How to join Bree's Diamond Dating Course, along with ways to work with Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency and gaining confidence. How can we learn to not overshare, especially on the first date? Yes, you may get judged after telling the truth about your life and previous relationships, but you may also get judged favorably for being open and transparent. So much of when you make disclosures is about your energy and your judgement about yourself. How can I tell the difference between love bombing and when someone is just very interested? Bree's tips for success in the digital dating world. Yes, it means getting yourself a good profile! If 40% of relationships were initiated online before the pandemic, there are sure to be even more now.

It will find me.” - Bree “There is always more love.” - Bree “Ghosting can also be a people-pleasing response.” - Carla “If you don't take accountability for what you did, then you are likely to do it again.” - Bree “We also judge people favorably, and no one complains about that.” - Bree “Never take ghosting personally, because it's never about yourself.” - Carla   Connect with Us!   The Love Fix | @thelovefixpodcast Wake up Recovery for Codependency, Love Addiction, and Toxic Relationships — $1 trial membership The Love Fix Relationship Quiz     Sign up for a Connection call with Sherry https://sherrygaba.com/coaching/life-coaching/    Find Out More:    Sherry Website | Instagram | Facebook | Love Smacked | Wake Up Recovery for Codependents and Toxic Relationships     Carla Website | Instagram | Facebook | Contagious Love | Online Dating Bootcamp    Bree Jenkins  Website | Instagram | Diamond Dating    Dating Someone with Anxiety  Dr. Laura   Get professional online counseling with BetterHelp by clicking here.

Email opens and engagement is as high as it’s ever been, but what is the place of these newsletters currently? Dan Oshinsky, email newsletter consultant, former director of newsletters at Buzzfeed, and The New Yorker join us to share his perspective on email newsletters during the pandemic. We kick off the show by discussing some of the unrealistic expectations that brands may have during this time of increased engagement. From there, we move onto how brands and people can find their voice through their newsletters. Dan struggled with his first pandemic email but learned that it’s about adding the right kind of value to people’s lives. The advice Dan gives his clients is that this is a moment to slow down and truly connect with their customers. We then turn our attention to the importance of onboarding and off-boarding emails and how they take readers and turn them into loyal fans. We round the discussion off by talking about some of the opportunities that come with the rise of pop-up newsletters. Key Points From This Episode:The downside of increased email engagement during the pandemic.Why figuring out the role he plays in his readers’ lives has been so difficult for Dan.The importance of using email to connect with your audience deeply right now.Hear more about Dan finding his voice for his first COVID-19 newsletter.Walking clients through pandemic-related content: Dan’s experience.The valuable lessons Dan has learned about onboarding emails in establishing trust.Learn more transitioning readers using offboarding emails and explaining what comes next.Pop-up newsletters: What they are and how they can be used as experiments.Tweetables:“People are understandably scared, they’re nervous, they’re worried about what’s going to happen next.

Title IX and Clery procedures are complex and ambiguous for all parties involved, but the importance of maintaining an institutional culture that upholds these laws cannot be overstated. Following Clery legislation should not stop at mere compliance either. In this episode, Courtney talks with Jody Shipper, a nationally recognized subject-matter expert in Title IX and related fields, about her approach in working with universities and colleges in Title IX compliance. They talk about the intersection of Clery and Title IX, and common Clery mistakes Jody sees in the work she does with clients. Jody talks about the complexities around filing timely reports, typical daily and yearly duties of logging data, and ways schools can get better at their Annual Service Reports. Jody sets the benchmark where it should be as far as Title IX and Clery procedures, so make sure you learn all you can from her in this episode.   Key Points From This Episode: Why Jody studied employment law: her interest in the prevalence of restaurant harassment. A merging of Jody's investigations and trauma work that occurred at her university job. Grand River Solutions' services: filling Clery and Title IX-related gaps at universities. The overarching mission at GRS: optimizing ASRs at schools and building safer communities. How merely obeying compliance as an institution is a bare minimum to be exceeded. The tendency to overlook Clery while setting up Title IX offices on campuses. Clery driven data capturing processes: daily incident logs, and annual security reports. Understanding timely warnings and when to issue them. Confusion around timely warnings. The fine line between victim blaming and giving due warning in releasing timely reports. ASR errors: starting late, leaving out information, being overburdened, not publishing them. Ways to get around aborted ASRs: committees, backup plans, and checklists. Ignorance of definitions of school jurisdiction and the challenge it poses to Clery. Another Clery error: misclassifying a crime, especially around referrals.   Tweetables: “People bandy around this phrase, ‘A culture of compliance.' That's a nice way to put it, that we have an institution where everyone will comply with all the rules. I always think of it as a baseline. Of course you have to do that piece, but can we do better?” — @JodyShipper [0:15:51]   “I think it's really important to make clear somewhere in that timely warning that no one is responsible for being the victim of a crime. You didn't choose to be the victim of that crime.” — @JodyShipper [0:28:54]   “Once you've pulled your ASR together you're not done. You need to publish it. You need to send it out to people in your community and you also need to submit it to the department of education.” — @JodyShipper [0:28:54]   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Jodie Shipper on LinkedIn Grand River Solutions Jeanne Clery ICS Lawyer Title IX University Hot Topics in Title IX Conference Upcoming Webinars The Law and Higher Ed Podcast Courtney Bullard on Twitter Courtney Bullard on LinkedIn

Text ‘bulletproof’ to 345345 to stay in the know about our upcoming book release and the Bulletproof Summit on October 12-13th 2018 in Atlanta!   Bulletproof Dental Practice Podcast Episode 73 Hosts: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak Guest: Thor Conklin, Founder & CEO of Peak Performance Group   Watch full video of the interview by clicking here!   Key Takeaways: Before you can fix your business, you must decide first where you want to go. You have to figure out what’s getting in the way of your success, and what are the lynchpins to solving your problems. It’s generally stopping or removing something rather than adding something. Often, what we want most in life is what’s most painful for us to get. Gratitude is one of the biggest and best ways to improve your fulfillment. It’s about getting back to what’s really important to you. Meditation and gratitude should be the first things you do in the morning. Try writing everything down that you’re stressed about. You’ll already feel less stressed. Put on your calendar a reminder to spend 20 minutes to work on taking an action to move one of those things forward. When doing something you hate, fake liking it and it’ll get easier. You can physiologically fool your body. People who want to stay pissed, will stay pissed. Just stay away from them. Every top performer has a pre-event ritual. They set their body, their intention, and their mind before they walk in. Take a deep breath and put a smile on your face. Set yourself before starting. 80-90% of communication is non-verbal. Focus on your mental fitness. Doing something physical helps break bad mental patterns. Get your bad energy out physically. Try to make your life as streamlined as possible. Clutter in your life tends to slow you down. Schedule time to allow yourself creative thinking time. High performers have a default of “no.” Know what your overall mission is and say “no” to anything that doesn’t serve that purpose. Figure out what your lane is going to be. Pick that lane and go deep.   References: A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle Muze   Tweetables: People confuse happiness with fulfillment. – Thor Conklin The only way to combat stress is action. – Thor Conklin Your emotions do not dictate your physiology, your physiology dictates your emotions – Thor Conklin Anytime you want to change your emotional state, simply change your physical state. – Thor Conklin Every “yes” is a “no” to something else. – Thor Conklin Don’t start running until you know where you’re going. – Thor Conklin You achieve more when you’re happily achieving, then when you’re achieving to be happy. – Dr. Craig Spodak Figure out what your lane is going to be. Pick that lane and go deep. – Thor Conklin

Bulletproof Dental Practice Podcast Episode 47 Hosts: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak Guest: Dr. Paul Etchison, founder of The Dental Practice Heroes Podcast Key Takeaways: Self-managed teams are a great way to allow your team members authority to create – and reach – goals that benefit your practice. Learn more about Dr. Spodak’s practices that led Spodak Dental Group to be within the top 1% of Invisalign providers in the US. Occlusion, malocclusion, and crowding are incipient diseases from which problems will arise over the long term. High volume Invisalign production cannot be done by the doctor alone, it requires the support of the entire team. Your mouth isn’t optimally healthy with just the absence of caries or periodontal disease. Keep your focus on educating patients, not on trying to sell services. Your team needs to understand why you do what you do, and make sure they’re on board with your overall vision. Otherwise they’ll never help you grow and meet your goals. We’re in the Participation Age where employees want to come to work with their brain turned on and be part of a mission. Everyone wants to work in a culture where they can express themselves. Craig’s top 3 pieces of advice for dentists: Create a vision for your life Work on your leadership skills Focus on exceptional clinical dentistry References: All Star Smiles GOTT iTero Omnicam Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek Finding My Virginity by Richard Branson The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson Date With Destiny with Tony Robbins  Tweetables: “People need to be led, only ‘stuff’ should be managed.” – Dr. Craig Spodak “Where focus goes, energy flows.” – Tony Robbins “Be the leader you wish you had.” – Simon Sinek

Bulletproof Dental Practice Podcast Episode 24 Hosts: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak Guest: Bruce Johnstone / Apex Design Build Key Takeaways: It is better to have one team handle everything rather than having separate contractors handle your renovation. In a Design-Build Model, the liability and risk is lower because you talk to only one supplier committed to finishing the design. Look at dentistry as a retail function than a health care function in order to learn how to utilize space in new ways. Dental offices can become like retail stores by looking at ways to make patients comfortable while they wait. No one goes to a dental office thinking they’ll have fun. Dental offices have to shift their space so it is more engaging for customers and makes them excited to visit. A lot of things affect your patient’s perception like the lighting of your clinic, the color, the upholstery of your furniture, etc. The best source of new customers is from internal referrals. You get more referrals if patients like your practice. You can put some of your marketing budget into creating a better and patient-friendly clinic. Tweetables: “People don’t mind waiting as long as there is engagement.” - Bruce Johnstone  “Dentistry can take a cue from retail.” - Bruce Johnstone  “The easiest way to market is to make your practice marketable.” - Dr. Peter Boulden
