John DeMato is a portrait and virtual photographer who serve speakers, authors and expert based business owners to create persuasive visual storytelling that motivates their audiences to care, connect and take action. I am a huge fan of john and his work, as are many of many top speakers from all over the world. And I'm really excited to have him on today to talk about the work that he does and how he basically helps other speakers tell better stories about ourselves and what and what we what we actually do is living. So john, welcome onto the show. John DeMato Thank you for having me, James. Always a pleasure talking to you, my friends. So James Taylor shame is a what's happening in your world at the moment. John DeMato Well, uh, despite the fact that the world's been a little upside down and sideways, we've been managing to figure some things out and kind of roll with the punches. My lifestyle portrait business took a bit of a header over the past couple of months and fortunately, I was able to spark some inspiration and create something that still allows me to be useful and serve the speakers that I work with. So I'm very fortunate for that. James Taylor That unit you and I met I think it was 2018 I'm gonna say 2017 2018 when we did a shoot together in New York City, I been working there and then I I reached out to you, I can't remember there was no speaker. I think it told me about you, maybe Geoffrey shore, and we got together and I was you know, I'm used to like doing photo shoots and speaker with with photographers, and you get maybe three, or maybe four usable shots from from a day. I was blown away. I mean, I think in the shoot that we did, we almost had like 100 shots or something. It was incredible. And that's kind of what you're known for in terms of your portrait work with photographers is just basically creating enough content content for them to use over the course of a year. John DeMato Yeah, yeah. I mean, the fact is, is that a speaker's life, you know, although many of us are grounded now. But despite that, you know, when things are normal travel, you're busy, you have multiple tentacles to your business, you don't have a lot of time to continuously invest. So it's important that when you do get in front of the camera, how many ever times you do that you maximize that value by getting as much out of it as you can. James Taylor And I think after we did that, I started seeing your work because you have a style, you know, in terms of photographer, and I thought, Oh, that looks like John's work. Oh, that looks like you know, there were there was there was something about it, there's, there's a certain thing with lighting and a certain kind of feel and emotion as well. So tell tell us about some of the speakers that you've worked with many, many, many of them, we would actually know ourselves. John DeMato Yeah. Well, I've been fortunate enough to be interested. Do the into the speaker community through people such as yourself and Sylvia, did you so she introduced me to the National Speakers Association here in the United States and that pretty much opened the door to me to meet a lot of amazing speakers like her and Phil Jones is also a an amazing human being and a great clients. I've worked with other people, like just pet it also within the community. I've also done a lot of virtual work recently with some other speakers such as Vin Jang, and Aaron Kane, Ty Bennett, people that just really blow me away in terms of their presentation and it just makes my life easier photographing them because they're so awesome at what they do. James Taylor So I'm not very good at it because I was having a conversation with a speaker the other day and I said, You've got to the speaker had made a real pivot from doing a lot of in person keynotes all around the world and suddenly, like many of us can stuck at home. And they're doing lots of virtual keynotes, lots of virtual workshops as well. I solicit you've got to have a conversation with john and work with john, to get a visual representation of what you're doing. I mean, he's at the moment he's doing like little screenshots and, and I think maybe using little clips of things didn't look great. So I was trying to explain to him what you do when it comes to the virtual so we all know that the kind of photoshoots that speakers we get, you know about speaking on stages or, or you know, in some kind in our offices or whatever. But describe that the virtual thing. First of all, tell us how did it come about? How did that first gig come from, for being a virtual photographer? And then tell us about when you start having conversations with speakers? what they see how you describe what you do, John DeMato right? Well, the reason that it was even born in the first place was because I was I was sick. I was getting over Coronavirus. I wasn't feeling great. I hadn't picked up the camera in about four weeks. And the NSA, New York City chapter was putting on its first virtual event. And quite frankly, I wanted to feel useful in a little bit more like myself. So I just picked up the camera and I was in my office watching the presentation, Jill shuffle bind was speaking at the time. And I'm like, you know what, let me get a couple shots to Jill just for the hell of it. And I snapped the couple I looked at the camera the back of the camera, I'm like, wow, these these actually don't suck as much as I am and so I decided to shoot the entire program. And I think Chad highness was on that one. There was a couple of other there was another speaker I think I don't hundred percent remember, but either way, I shot the whole program. And the next day, I've wanted to again feel like kinda like myself, so I decided to write a social post, which I hadn't done in weeks. I put it out. And the next thing you know, I got a ton of reaction from a lot of speakers. And I thought to myself, this might be something. And from that I kind of consulted with some other speakers just pet it was actually one of them. She was one of the first ones I want to talk to about this. And she gave me some ideas on what would be important for speakers to have why these photos are important. And the biggest takeaway from that conversation was, it's about creating image content that speakers can share with meeting planners and organization heads and people who book keynotes or facilitators of any type. And basically what they want to see is the experience that the speaker will create for their audience. And that's how the whole thing was born. And then that's how the whole thing kind of steamrolled and developed from there. And the way that I present it to speakers when I talk to them is about the experience, but it's also the reality of your situation right now, if you're migrating to online and doing virtual presentations, these photos serve the same exact functions as your branded lifestyle portraits, and your live event stuff. Because this is what your business is now and to a certain extent to the future when people, you know, keep this within their repertoire. But either way, the point being is that you need to put out photos that represent who you are and who you serve, and why you do what you do and still have that expression and still have that artistry and still have that ability to capture your audience's attention. James Taylor I think the interesting thing about you as well is something we've worked together, we can start off talking about like brand, you know, what you want the brand to say what there's a whole series of quite strategic decisions being made along the way as we were kind of going back and forth, which is not frankly You know we've all been in this if you had to do photo shoots you you can turn up the photographer okay stand there maybe change that shirt and but you can have i do i think you call them as a strategy calls or I don't what you call those, those discussions you go into with the speaker or the thought leader, where you really start to kind of drill into like, What are you trying to say? What is the story that you're trying to say with images? Yeah, John DeMato yeah, it's a precession strategy calling it manifests itself in different ways depending upon how I work with a particular client and from where they're coming from in terms of what service they work with me on but But the main point to all of that is there is no show up and shoot or even with virtual there is no here's the zoom link and go make it happen. There is lengthy conversation beforehand because I need to know who you are in order to know what types of expressions I need to capture on your face. What level of artistry I need to include into these photos and how interesting they need to be based on, you know, the the quirks that make you you and yeah, wardrobe is important. By the way, it's not it's not something that should be dismissed. But it is. It is one piece of the puzzle much like vanity overall is a piece of the puzzle. We need you to look good. But that's not the most important part. That's a foundational element. That's a given not a goal. The goal is to create an image content that will visually punctuate the sentiment of every single story you want to share, whether it's the copy on your website, whether it's social posts, blog posts, whether it's a slide in your presentation of a photo for your book, whatever the case may be, whatever, wherever you put your story, your message, your insights part of your framework, you need to have image content that will punctuate visually that sentiment in order to drive people to get people's attention. So that they care, connect, and ultimately take action with you. James Taylor Now you have an interesting role in doing that, because you work with so many different thought leaders and speakers and you're, you're inside of those, whether it's the zoom webinars, or those online conferences, virtual conferences that are going on, as well. So you're also seeing probably from a from a photography standpoint, and from an audio standpoint, what looks good on the in the camera, and I'm gonna put my hand up here, I'm not a big fan of green screen. And, and I love it for certain things. By I feel there's a real danger that we've got so focused on the tech stuff that we've put the aesthetic out of the window a little bit, or you can feel jarring at times if it was being it's being used for just the sake of using it. So from your perspective, as someone who has to shoot these, these sessions, what are you finding is working with Once you take those shots, you can look back and think, ah, this is interesting, these kind of backgrounds or this kind of setting or, or this type of setup what what's working for you? John DeMato Well, well, from my vantage point green, the virtual background can either be really cool when it's lit well, and there's separation between the speaker and the background so that there's no, there's no spill of the green screen on the person. So they look like the Incredible Hulk, which I've seen a million times or when they move their arms. It's not lit well, so anytime they move their arms, you can see the aliasing around their arms, and you could see where they're what the actual background looks like. So that looks crazy. And it is jarring and you're right. So it's a dicey proposition if you don't really have the proper lighting to do it. But what has worked, I mean, I've seen over 80 of these events, and I've seen some amazing stuff and a lot of it is that simple. As dressing up your office decluttering the background behind your head, creating contrast between what you're wearing and what the color of your background is so that you pop off the background. The bookshelf thing is great. A clean wall is great. I mean, I've seen people just use plain blue walls or plain blue seamless paper or plain white, seamless paper. I've seen people go all the way above and beyond with neon and colors and digital writing boards and all of this stuff. But the most important thing to keep in mind is that what you want to do as a speaker is stand out in the frame 100% of the time, which means whatever you do in that background needs to support that ultimate goal. Because at the end of the day, if it's just you talking about the lighting on your face is clean. You look good. There's no any weird distraction That's the most important thing, start from there and then build out. James Taylor And then what about, you know, obviously, many of the speakers, they're using webcams, some of them may have nice kind of DSLR, high quality kind of cameras with nice lenses that they're using to get little bit of depth of field as well. If someone's just kind of starting on this process, and they're doing more presentations, and they know, let's say they're gonna be working with you, and in a month's time on a project, any advice you would give them in terms of the technical at the camera that they use, for example? John DeMato Yeah, sure. Jeff Shaw, Phil Jones, they use DSLRs. It looks great. I saw them prior to using it and the quality differences definitely there. But what I would say is this, don't invest. If you're going to do virtual photos, don't invest in the technology. It's just for the photos. It's not worth it. If this is something that is bigger. That eye you know, you want to present yourself with a little higher resolution with a little depth of field you know or blurry background as you guys say with the blurry background. Yeah, yeah, I'll simplify. Yeah. So if you want if you want the blurry background, you know, then you then and you plan on being on getting paid speaking virtual gigs, yeah, I'll give you the tips. You know, I'll give you the, the HDMI cable you need the DSLR camera that works best in auto and how to frame it and what to frame out and all of that jazz and I go over that with some of the speakers prior to I've had several of those kind of sessions but here's the thing, if it's not that big of a deal for you, and you maybe just want to upgrade to say a couple hundred dollar Logitech that's cool to the point is this. You just need to feel comfortable about the way you're presenting yourself. And then however that looks, that's when you call someone like me to photograph you. Yeah, that's one. James Taylor Yeah, it was interesting. I mean, I remember when I was done, we obviously I've been doing the virtual thing for cloud too many years. But I remember when we started doing things while I was using more multi cameras, I just knew I wanted to have a little bit more movement and just, you know, make it more especially the longer sessions. I liked having like maybe three cameras, I could go between a wide shot and an up close and maybe something or even an overhead shot. Yeah. Yeah. And, and I was thinking, God, this is gonna cost me a fortune here. I buy like three digit DSLR you know, I only had one DSLR but let's say I get another. They were like 1500 dollars or $2,000. By the time you had lenses, and in the end, I had a conversation with one of my speakers. You remembers Tom, Tom lightning, and he's even a lot of video stuff in the past. And he gave me a great little tip. You know, this is a kind of hackers tip. He said, go on to eBay and buy two cameras like a handycam cameras that like almost the prosumer versions, like five years ago, they would have been the top cameras. And he said, you can get them, you get like three of them for like a couple hundred bucks. And just get them like color and color match them and things or something can give you that without having to spend an absolute fortune, and have your one main nice establishing shot with all the depth of field stuff. He said, but a lot of the things that we do, we don't need a big, you know, fuzzy backgrounds or depth of field, because of the rooms that we're shooting in a lot of times when we're doing virtual. John DeMato Yeah, if you're doing if you're doing a solid background, the narrow depth of field with the blurry background, it's some consequence, you're not going to see it, it's gonna be useless. In fact, it'll it'll cause problems potentially with the focus on you as you're talking. Yeah, but in terms of the multi camera, I mean, the thing about the multi camera that I've seen that's been very successful is a getting back to the technical piece, just make sure that the two that you buy are in fact the same because when you switch between three that are all completely different, it's going to look weird and all the matching in the world isn't going to match, just FYI. And if if one of those chips in one of those sensors is older than the other, you might have to work harder to match those two. Just keep that in mind. I think that's a good point. James Taylor I had that with what I was trying to figure out between I use ECAM and also an ATM switcher for switching and for the email I figured you know what would be because I couldn't get one of the lenses just to match and it always looked off and actually thought you know, I'm going to try and do I'm going to try and make that lens black and white and I'm going to strip all the color from and so I'm not going to try and make it look the same thing. And I kind of experimented with that and I almost going to use it now as my at the side camera like when I'm kind of talking off camera like it's like a like a TV now because you obviously your bank For the people that don't know, you worked in TV for many years as well. So some of the stuff you've maybe done in the past is now coming probably pretty useful for you as well. John DeMato Well, while having these conversations with people now that now I get to dust off the producing skills, yeah. And here, but here's the thing, though, with that multi camera where I was getting pointing to before was the fact that when you have multi cameras, yes, doing what you do, when you change the vantage point on you from wide to medium to close to three shots or overhead, it creates that visual variety that you want, and that impulse of people getting bored gets lost when you switch switch switch, that's great. But one of the most effective things that I've seen a lot of folks do a multi cam is to they'll have a sitting, they'll have a sitting camera whether whether in front of the just sitting and talking, maybe sharing slides, then they'll cut to a second camera that has a flip chart. You know James Taylor This Vin, I think Vin does that Vin Jang John DeMato yeah Vin Vin does that yes. And also Clint Pulver did that the other day. He had a he had a, I think it was three cameras. He had one where he was standing in front of a backdrop. The second one was on his, he's a drummer. So he had one on his drum kit straight on. And then he had an overhead that was straight down on the drum kit. And it's just, I mean, listen, like I said, you don't have to start off with like, you know, bells, whistles, confetti, all this crazy stuff. The fact is, is that you just need to look like a badass and confident and know what your stuff and then you start from there and build out. But there's a lot of flexibility with multicam. James Taylor And I think one thing that's interesting getting going where we're kind of starting to move from, you know, from us being a speaker on stage where you had that quite a big canvas to work on. So your body movements are much larger generally, than when you come to a studio In a small camera, they're all those little small facial movements like it's like going from being a theatre actor to a film or TV actor, where you suddenly have to go like slightly kind of smaller and more more focused. I remember working with actors some actors before, and they might have a three cam, three cameras in the room shooting a scene. And and it's, I would say this especially the case of female actors, is they would know exactly what lens was on a certain camera. And they knew which lens worked particularly well for them for certain close ups. Oh, is that the such and such camera is that such a such lens, because they knew they had enough. And I'm almost thinking now for other speakers as we have to get. Obviously we're in we're in version 1.0 of this just now. I can see very quickly getting to the stage where speakers not only know like how to do it on stage and that way, but how to use some of those devices that an actor would use and playing with the camera and having a conversation and treating that how that camera was like your best friend. As well, John DeMato yes, that's a very good point. And it's something that I've had to actually coach through some of the stuff that I'm doing not not the real in person real audience events, but the stage events that I photographed with clients a lot. And it it really starts with this number one are what are you presenting? Is this a keynote to an audience? Is this a webinar where you're just basically talking to yourself record pre recording it and sharing it? Is it a mastermind group where it's more of a conversation, hotseat kind of thing, those that dictates immediately what you need, how you need to play with the camera. Because if it's if it's like a mastermind conversation thing, just be yourself just be normal. But if it's something that's going to be in front of an audience whether or a live audience watching in or an audience that's going to watch this purchase it or sign up for it or whatever. You need to be on. And a lot of the times when I work with clients to do their full screen speaker shots, you know, and there's nobody here and it's just us. I in fact, I did this yesterday, I prompt my clients to pull up sections of their keynote, and to be cognizant of the fact that your body language still matters. Even if you're sitting. Yeah, you need to move those hands, you need to move that face, you need those pauses, I need to see all of those things. Because again, as I said earlier, these photos are a representation of what your business looks like right now. And you need to do the same exact things as if you were in front of a room of 700 people. James Taylor Now I'm conscious that because this is a audio podcast, people can actually see your work. So we're gonna have links in here as well, but to take us through, let's say if I'm someone listening to this just now, they're a speaker, maybe they've got an upcoming keynote or they're giving a workshop and they really want to use that to be able to do a photo shoot photo shoot Photoshop, or maybe they've got some really want to start promoting their virtual but you don't really need to maybe almost like fake it till you make it and do it do a live type of shoot. Take us through the process of when you work with a speaker, where does it? Where does it start? And what are the stages that you generally go through and speaking? John DeMato Well, the first step is I just admit, yeah, this is weird. It's gonna be weird. And it's not the same as doing it live. But it's important. We go, we talk, I, the first part of the strategy that I have with a client is I start with, you know, what, what are they trying to do with these things? Are they just looking to create a landing page and just let people know, hey, speaker, bureau person, hey, meeting planner, this is what I do. And that said, or are they looking to dive a little deeper and create a social strategy? If they're looking to create a social strategy, then we get a little more meaty. Basically what I want to know is, what are the types of presentations that they do is that is the audience usually locked out or brought into these things because that will dictate Whether or not I shoot the Brady Bunch shots, the gallery view all the faces the collection, because my goal in the strategy calls is to kind of identify the key elements in their presentation, whether it's audience, are they using slides? Are they doing live drawings using a tablet? Today? How many cameras do they have? What are the Today's a flip chart, I'm trying to figure out what that presentation looks like so that I make sure that I capture images, fullscreen speaker, speaker with the filmstrip of people on the side filmstrip of the people on the top the audience if the audience is available, and side by side mode with the speaker or the tablet live drawing while they're working. Because my goal much like the branded lifestyle portrait photos or the live event stuff that shoot is to capture that visual variety because we want to be able to sustain them for you know other a sizable amount of time with images of the same event, but from different vantage points, because that's when once I have the elements on their end of what their presentation looks like, if there's an audience, all those things, that's when I take my laptop, get my folding table roll around on the floor and shoot them in different parts of my apartment. James Taylor And that's actually important because I think it'd be quite easy to say, Okay, well, so you just take take photos of the Zoom Room or something. John DeMato But yeah, James Taylor but actually the device, let's say iPad, talk about actually the room this the spacing in which you shoot that because I think it's really important cuz for me as I'm not a speaker, if I'm a client or event professional, and I'm looking at that is suddenly has a more realistic feel. I feel I can imagine myself, you know, so I'm saying this is a vegan now but sell the sizzle, not the steak. It feels like it feels real. Feels like, Oh, I can imagine myself watching that presentation. So you could just briefly describe because you went through that very quickly, like in filming different parts of your room. What in your apartment? Why is that important? John DeMato It's, well, it harkens. Well, first of all, you just confirmed what I had said earlier. It's about creating image content that illustrates the experience the viewer would feel if they were tuning in to your presentation at home. Right? So for me, at first, when I first shot those initial shots for NSA, my camera, my computer was tethered to my my office on the desk just the way I work, there was nothing and then the thought of experience, experience experience create the experience Well, they're not going to just watch it on that that's why I include my windows and and my French doors and you know the blinds and shooting on different surfaces and all of that kind of stuff because what that does is it creates that whole vibe, that kind of the scenario. And also, instead of just shooting it against like a white wall or a gray wall, which I could also do, that's not as interesting yet, but when you incorporate outside elements, it adds dimensionality and artistry to the images that captures people's attention. And by the way, it's because of this virtual session that I think I have the most famous apartment in the speaker community now. So many people's photos. James Taylor Well, at some some point, I'm going to come and hang out with you. I think the last time we were together, I think we possibly broke a few laws in terms of when we were doing that in person photo shoot of. John DeMato Yeah, private property. Yeah. Credit property. Yes. Yes. We're fine. We finally the photos are James Taylor so fantastic. So so people, obviously, and it's difficult with it with obviously a podcast interview like this, to really get across what these things look like. So please, we're gonna have a link CEUs people head over to your site and can see what you do. But before we can talk about that Usually a question I asked all of the speakers isn't normally speakers that we have on the show is I asked them what's in their speaker bag? What isn't that bag that they carry with them to all of their speaking engagements. So your your bag, you know, when we get back to doing live events again, it's going to be a little bit different. So what is in that bag of tricks that you take with you apart from obviously your one movie camera and lens, what the other things that you take with you that maybe speakers don't necessarily think about? John DeMato I can't wait to get back to live events. So my mic, my bag actually has two camera bodies for lenses. And I think now we're going to be That's going to be in my bag now moving forward. When James Taylor And what about resources or apps or tools are there any in terms of your we have Really can talk about your your mobile kind of creative process in your own role as a creative a thought leader. But are there any online resources or tools or apps that you find particularly useful for the creative work that you did? John DeMato The app that I live in? Well first of all, Google Drive is my that's it's my lifeblood, I work off my phone with it. I work off my Chromebook, my laptop, it has everything. Another app that I have found to be extremely useful is my notebook app. That's the one where I write down idea nuggets that popped into my mind throughout various times of the day. And that one really helps kind of fuel my creativity because when I'm in the mood to write something or find I'm working out a an idea for adding to my services, I just jot it down in there. And then when I'm ready to actually entertain the thought of taking action on it, I go right to that app. James Taylor So is that is that Just the one that comes with the phone like the iPhone Oh, John DeMato no, no, no, it's, it's, it's an outside app that you pay for. It has interesting ways to chapter and Chronicle stuff. And it's, it's more flexible than the regular one on the iPhone. James Taylor And then, if you were to recommend, you know, our listeners just now, obviously, most most of our speakers, but we kind of touched on a little bit in terms of thinking about branding about visual identity, visual storytelling as well. If you can recommend maybe one book to our listeners that can maybe just kind of help them. Think about their brand, you know, visually, it could be a booking of photography, or it could be just a book that's just gonna like maybe take their mind in a different place. In terms of visuals, what would that book be? John DeMato You know, I would probably say the one the one that started at all for me and the young woman that helped me with my niche and discovering this whole, this whole thing. It's bad A brand by Pierre Silva. Um, it's it. She doesn't talk necessarily about visuals, but the way that she talks about brands. It Well, there is a section on on photography. But the point is, is that that book really gets you thinking about putting yourself out there in a unique way and the colorful way she presents herself she's New Yorker. So it really it helps kind of help you see where you are and where you want to go. And from all that good things come, James Taylor and I'm suddenly remembered it was clear that is how I first learned about your work. You did amazing shot over. I can see it now. She's wearing a red top. She has quite a John DeMato stress like James Taylor yes. Yeah. And it was such an iconic type of shot. I thought he answered on the interview that I did for my creative life. I said, Who was that photographer, I want to work with that photographer. And that's how your name came up. So that's when it all kind of coming back round to things. Full Circle, John DeMato we made it. What we made came James Taylor back around the other end as well. JOHN, let's imagine you woke up tomorrow morning, a New York City there, and you have to start from scratch. So you've got all the tools, your trade, all the knowledge that you've acquired over the years, but I'm gonna take away your address book, you know, no one, no one knows you. What would you do? How would you restart things? John DeMato Well, I would probably start to listen, I would go on LinkedIn, I would look up the types of people in which I want to serve. So keynote speakers, facilitators, expert based business owners, look up who is in the New York City tri state area, and start to connect with them and engage their stuff and don't ask them for anything until they respond back and then have an actual conversation and see where it goes. James Taylor While talking about connecting where's the best place for people to go so they can connect with you See some of your work the great work you've done with lots of other other speakers and they reach out to you by getting a virtual getting a photoshoot done soon where's the best place for them to go and do that John DeMato that's place is my website. JohnDeMato.com from there you can sign up for my social sign up for my newsletter. You could also follow me there just you know email me from there you can James Taylor do that. Well john, it's been a pleasure speaking as always I always love hanging out and I can almost smell the cigar smoke. Are you a big cigar smoker, so I can almost feel feel the New York City vibe with a cigar smoke. Just now please stay safe. Stay. Well, thank you so much for coming on the speakers live and please continue doing the beautiful creative work that you do as well. John DeMato Thank you, my friend. I look forward to seeing you in New York soon. Website of John Demato #speakersU #speakerslife

How are you using the power you have (for good or evil)? Yes, we all have power just through our relationships between colleagues, family, and friends. Thereby, it can be a bit tricky. According to Deborah Gruenfeld, we need to embrace and own our power, even if we are uncomfortable with it. Deb is a social psychologist and the author of Acting with Power. She shares with Kevin that there are levels of power and it is a responsibility that is yours. Often there are negative connotations with power, however, when you look at it in action, force is rarely used. People want to help you, so you will help them. When you have control over another's outcomes you need to think about the interests you are serving; be the person other people hope you will be. This episode is brought to you by...

Ty Bennett joins Dr. Paul for this episode of Live On Purpose Radio focusing on a powerful leadership idea – that partnership is the new leadership. Value precedes influence, and as leaders focus on contributing...

Ty Bennett built a booming business doing $25 million a year in sales when he was in his twenties. But he felt God calling him to something else, even if it meant less dollar signs and more time on the road. He chats with Leary and Armin about his career transition and what relevant leadership looks like in today’s world.

Regardless of your industry or your product, relationships are the currency of your business, and though you can love people without leading them, you can't lead people without loving them. Ty Bennett is an entrepreneur who fell in love with the speaking and training development aspect of building a sales team and it led him to write books on the topic and start a training company called Leadership Inc. Ty points out that we're in the people business and we're interacting with, networking with, leading and influencing people every day. The care, investment, and love you have for people will communicate that you have their best interest in mind. Those relationships engender trust, foster accountability, and build a level of commitment that you want in your team. And love drives it. MISSING LOVE Many business books never discuss love, perhaps because it isn't considered a business-centric word. Ty addresses this issue in his new book called Partnership is the New Leadership. He interviewed a guy on his podcast named Tim Sanders who wrote the book Love is the Killer App but this hasn't always been a business word. Traditionally it has referred to personal relationships but when it drives your actions and when you're coming from a place of service and contribution, that's where love exists. Leadership is much more effective there. SOFT LEADERS Some people believe that leaders can't be perceived as soft, so they shy away from the idea of loving the members of the team. If you're too soft, after all, you'll be walked on. If you were to line up 10 people and evaluate the production level of those people, you'll find a relationship to how they feel about their manager. Statistically, most people will tell you that they hate their bosses, and also that people join companies and they leave bosses. People also show up differently when they are in the right frame of mind; when they feel supported; when they feel heard; and when they have opportunities to win. When people feel like part of a team, the commitment level changes drastically. #TeamCommitment TRAINING TO LEAD If you're seeking to develop this kind of leadership without being perceived as soft, focus on being interested rather than interesting. Rather than figuring out how to stand out and making it all about you, focus on the other person. Great leaders are those who truly care about other people and become adept at asking questions. They have a genuine curiosity about people. They want to know what drives them and what's important to them. As you get to know your people on a deeper level, it speaks volumes to your team members. Now take things a step further and focus on hearing them. Don't forget the idea that people support what they help create. Give your team a voice. Welcome their feedback. Those efforts demonstrate that you care about what they have to say and you're listening rather than simply issuing marching orders. You're demonstrating that you're confident enough in who you are to allow them to be part of the process. We no longer live in the era of top-down leadership where I tell you what we're going to do and you implement it. Social media has changed us psychologically and it has given each of us a voice. INVEST IN PEOPLE Go above and beyond for your people. Do things that are not in your job description. Give more time, more energy, and more of yourself into your relationships. Reach out in ways that are meaningful to each person. No doubt each of us can think of someone who has invested in us this way. As leaders, those investments change our relationships. When you invest in people they become family. Ask yourself whether people would ever say that about you. This level of investment can be difficult because we're busy. We have so much on our plates that it's hard to think outside our own agenda. It can also be tempting to focus on the things we have to do and ignore the things that we could do but aren't required to do. At the same time, we have to shift our mindset. Maybe we need to listen to a podcast or hear a story from a different leader. Maybe we need to find a leader who can open our eyes to different approaches. Perhaps read a book. FOLLOWING THE MANAGER Although every industry is different, Ty interacted with sellers recently who told him that their loyalty was to their manager, not to the company. The product matters a lot less to them than the manager does. If you're seeking to become this kind of manager, start by carving out one-on-one time for your people as often as possible. Come in five minutes early and ask one of your people to come in five minutes early. Make time for it. Find time to connect with your people with no agenda. It's just to show that you care. Ty also recommends reading The Go Giver, one of a series of books about adopting a giving mentality on the way to greater success. Relationships change when people invest in them. When a leader invests, it will impact the relationship in a huge way. “YOU CAN'T LEAD PEOPLE WITHOUT LOVING THEM” EPISODE RESOURCES If you'd like to connect with Ty, you can find him at tybennett.com and on LinkedIn, and you can check out The Relevant Leadership Podcast.

Stephen is the CEO of Predictive ROI and the host of the Onward Nation podcast. He is the author of two bestselling books, speaker, trainer, and his digital marketing insights have been featured in SUCCESS, Entrepreneur, The Washington Post, Forbes, Inc. Magazine, and other media. Good Morning Onward Nation — I’m Stephen Woessner. Just wanted to start off today’s solocast with a big thank you. I appreciate all of the feedback — thoughts — recommendations — and encouragement following last week’s solocast. I love hearing when our work is helping to make a difference for you — to create an impact for you, Onward Nation — and perhaps this may sound odd — but I also love hearing when we have missed the mark. If and when we underdeliver — because knowing that — helps us get better! All of your feedback helps us move onward to that next level. So thank you, Onward Nation. I appreciate you being here. I appreciate you sharing some of you invaluable time with me today. Please continue letting us know what you think. Thumbs up or thumbs down. We appreciate you so very much. So for today’s solocast…I am going to take one of the themes from last week and go an inch wide and a mile deep. You may recall, that last week’s solocast, I addressed the slippery slope — the mental trap — that is so easy for any business owner to fall into. It is the trap of thinking that becoming an overnight success is possible — and — comparing your back-of-stage with another company’s front-of-stage. It’s a tempting thought — it can be so intoxicating to hope for — or to do those comparisons — but there is no such thing as an overnight success, Onward Nation. The insights I learned directly from Verne Harnish, founder of EO and Gazelles — duringepisode 205 speak directly to this point. Verne took me behind the green curtain at Apple to discuss how they struggled for their first 25 years — 25 years, Onward Nation. And finally in 2001, they began to rapidly scale following the introduction of the iPod. But it took 25 years of struggle — and nearly going broke several times — in order to get there. Verne also shared the story of Peter Drucker, the godfather of modern day management…and how Peter reached his most creative and productive point in his career after the age of 65. Peter wrote twice the number of books after his 65th birthday than he did when he was younger. It takes a long time Onward Nation to curate that level of content and develop that depth of expertise. Verne then shared insights regarding Picasso and the number of masterpieces he produced after turning 50 years old. Picasso created the majority of his most famous works after he had turned 50! And then the insights I learned from Linda Kaplan Thaler — our guest in episode 226, which will air on Monday, May 2nd — and the story she shared about the acclaimed novelist, James Patterson. Thanks to Linda — we now know James had been hard at work perfecting his craft for 21 years before his first bestseller. Honing his skills, day in and day out. Every day — hours and hours — working on his craft from 4:00 in the morning until 8:00 — and then going off to his day job at one of New York City’s leading advertising agencies, where he worked with Linda for over 17 years. An amazing story of grit, tenacity, persistence, and never giving up. So for today’s solocast…I am going to share some additional perspective and lessons I began to share last week regarding what I have learned from spending time with Gary Vaynerchuk. I will share those lessons deeper — and then connect them to what I want to share with you today, which is how and why you should build a platform to grow revenue for your business. But again — this too, Onward Nation is a long term play. Building a platform is not an overnight thing as you will see with Gary’s story. There are no shortcuts. It takes hard work and disciplined effort. But your hard work will create distinction for you — because the majority of your competitors will not want to work that hard. And grounded in that reality, Onward Nation, is your major opportunity. IF — you are willing to seize it. Just like Gary Vee did. He recognized it and then capitalized by being willing to work his guts out to make his vision a reality. I have a lot of respect for Gary — and anyone — who is willing to do that. My guess is you are already familiar with Gary Vee — but just in case you’re not — Gary is the founder of Vaynermedia and one of today’s foremost social media experts. He is the bestselling author of four books. In my opinion, his social media book, “Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook” is the best social media book ever written. It is outstanding. And it is just as relevant today as it was when it was released in November 2013. The consumer behavior and platform strategy Gary sets forth within the book is still spot on. But “Gary Vee” has not always been “Gary Vee.” In fact, just a mere 10 years ago, Gary was largely unknown on the social media scene. Gary was the director of operations at his family’s liquor store in New Jersey. He didn’t have 1.2 million Twitter followers then. Vaynermedia didn’t exist. YouTube was just getting underway, same with Twitter, and nearly zero companies were investing in building out video blogs or becoming their own “media channel”. But Gary was different. He could see that he needed to create a “platform” by sharing valuable content via the social Internet. And he decided to do just that. Before we go much further — let’s have a quick definition — what’s a “platform?” At its core — a platform is what you stand for — your ideals — your vision — your purpose inside your business or in your life. But, platform has also morphed into meaning your audience, or followers, your tribe, your community, or sometimes even the size of your audience. So from a business perspective, building a platform, depending on your industry, can make all of the difference. During episode 42 of Onward Nation, you will hear Gary and I talk about the early days of Wine Library and his strategy behind it. Gary said to me, “I started Wine Library TV because I was worried about the vulnerability of us and wineries selling direct to consumers. And I figured if I became influential, that me as a curator would protect me against wineries selling direct to consumers.” — Gary Vaynerchuk, episode 42 of Onward Nation. You can also find the video interview Gary and I did at Vaynermedia here:    Gary launched Wine Library TV on May 17, 2006. Very few businesses had a video blog — and no one in the wine industry did. Yet he did it anyway.   And for the first year or so — each episode reached more and more people — but slowly. Wine Library TV was not an overnight success. To Gary’s credit — and one of the things I admire most about him — he looks for opportunity in business — where are the untapped “wells” — and then he plants his flag — he puts up his drilling rig — and he drills and inch wide and a mile deep — and doesn’t stop. Now, truth be told, Gary might be the only person in the field drilling — and sometimes, Onward Nation — being the early adopter, can be a very lonely feeling. But when Gary is convinced the strategy will work — he commits the necessary resources to learn all that is necessary and then make it work. Does that mean Gary is successful 100 percent of the time? No, no one ever is. But success and failure are all part of the process — the ying and the yang to it all. But he was willing to stake his claim and then make improvements along the way. To illustrate my point…if you go to the show notes for this episode — we have embedded the videos for Gary’s Episode 1 and Episode 1,001 so you can see how the Wine Library TV evolved over time. Take some time to compare the on-screen graphics, Gary’s comfort level in front of the camera, the background, and the lighting between the two episodes. Both episodes are off-the-charts for content — and this may surprise you a bit — but I actually prefer Episode 1 over Episode 1,001. But it isn’t because Episode 1,001 under delivers — it doesn’t. I like Episode 1 so much because it is the start of something amazing, something inspiring. It is the first edition of something that went on to change the wine industry and to propel the success of Gary’s family business. Wine Library TV — and Gary’s talent of discerning opportunities from the clutter — thrust him into the social media spotlight. Episode 1:     Episode 1001:     I like Episode 1 because of the guts it took Gary to produce it — and then — the commitment to produce an excellent show fives times a week. That is how you build a platform, Onward Nation. Not overnight. Gary knew he could win over the long term if he was willing and disciplined enough to play for long term wins…and not to try and create an overnight success. So what was the resulting outcome of Wine Library TV? Gary and his family grew their business from $3 million to over $60 million a year in sales as a direct result of Wine Library TV. Wow, Onward Nation. 20x growth for their business. And they did it because of Gary’s unwavering long-term commitment to this philosophy. “Creating content for the social Internet is literally the cost of relevance in today’s society.” — Gary Vaynerchuk Well done, my friend. Now, if you are thinking about Gary’s success — his long-term commitment — and then thinking to yourself, “Yeah, but I could never do that.” And you are starting to feel some hesitation right now as you question yourself on whether you could follow in Gary’s footsteps and apply his recipe and strategy to your industry. The answer is yes you can…but…I want you to take a moment to consciously realize something here. I want you to realize that any hesitancy you may be feeling right now about building your platform is the Imposter Syndrome attempting to hold you back! That voice you may be hearing inside your head asking you the painful question of, “Who do you think you are? To launch a podcast — who would listen to you — what do you have to say that is worthy of sharing?” Those are tough questions to listen to, Onward Nation. Very tough. Aren’t they? And I will tell you that I hear the voices and those questions every day. And whoa…the voices really kick into overdrive every time I sit down at my desk to write out my thoughts for each and every weekly solocast. But…and this is really important…I push through the fears, the doubts, the struggles with myself because my conviction behind the purpose of Onward Nation is drilled deep into the Earth. My team and I are fully committed to being outstanding — delivering our best to you every day, no matter how long it takes us to build what we are focused on building. This is a long-term strategy for us just like Wine Library TV was as it has been for Gary. So, Onward Nation — for you to build a rockin’ awesome platform that creates distinction for you in your marketplace or industry, you need that same time of long-term commitment. No matter what the tech is — doesn’t matter if you create a podcast, an awesome YouTube channel, an insightful blog as a resource for your customers and prospects, or if your customers are on Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter in droves — then be there with them to have a conversation. Or, if your customers are on Instagram — then be there. If they are on Snapchat — then be there. Or, if you have a decent connection with customers via email — then strengthen your relationships via email and provide deep, deep, deep value. To help guide you on this path — I outlined 5 key steps in a brief action plan that I think will be helpful as you consider the type of platform you want to build. But one final word of caution before I share the steps. And that is — in the wise words of Ty Bennett, “Just pick one platform — master it — go deep — and then maybe add a second. But first — master one.” Wise words that Ty shared during our recent encore interview…episode 212. So here are the action steps, Onward Nation. A business building — platform building recipe for you. My hope for you is that you will put these steps into practice with relentless action and execution: Find out where your customers hang out. Do they listen to podcasts? Are they on Twitter? Are they on LinkedIn? Are they on YouTube? Find out. How? Ask them. Take a survey. Send an email. Make some phone calls. Post on Facebook, post on Twitter…pick a path and create a conversation and ask your customers and prospects questions. Have the courage to ask and learn — even if the answers make you uncomfortable. Think of it this way…if the answers make you uncomfortable — wouldn’t you rather have that information sooner rather than later so you can make changes and deliver more value to your customers instead of them leaving and doing business with a competitor who they believe is more influential and delivers more value than you do? I know…ouch, right? But you can’t fix it if you ignore there’s a problem or an untapped opportunity, Onward Nation. Create a content strategy. And your strategy should accomplish two things: 1) deliver massive value to your customers and prospects. MASSIVE VALUE. Don’t skimp. And 2) ensure that what you are delivering will position you as a thought leader and influencer just like Gary Vee accomplished with Wine Library TV. And by doing so — you will create distinctiveness for your business — just like Scott McKain recommends, our guest duringepisodes 1 and 136 of Onward Nation. Ignore the Imposter Syndrome. Push past it and begin building your content, building your platform, and prepare for launch. Don’t let the questions in your head derail your success. I encourage you to go back and re-listen to episode 158 — which I dedicated toward defeating the Imposter Syndrome — it will be a great resource for you. Because Onward Nation…you are more talented, more wonderful, more gifted, more incredible than you can possibly imagine. You are a child of the highest God and were blessed with an abundance of talent — don’t give in — build the content and it will get easier over time. Execute your strategy — push the launch button! Will your podcast, videos, or blog be perfect on day 1? No! Will you be embarrassed at first? Maybe. But as Reid Hoffman the founder of LinkedIn said, “If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.” Does that mean you just launch something that is half-baked? No, it doesn’t. But it does mean that your podcast will never be perfect…you will learn along the path…your listeners will help you get better…and until you have the courage to put yourself out there…you will never receive that valuable feedback. So have the guts — build something great — realize that perfection is not attainable — and that part of the fun is to improve along the way. It’s the journey, Onward Nation — it is valuable to your growth and really fun for your listeners to watch how you evolve and change because of their comments and recommendations. Don’t stop. Never give up, Onward Nation. Keeping moving forward — success is there for you — just not overnight. It will take time — but it is funny how quality eventually rises to the top. It is a struggle — you will feel the pressure but pressure is a necessary force of nature — and pressure creates an astonishing result outcomes. For example…how is a diamond formed? By placing coal under intense pressure for a very long time. Or, how is oil formed? By placing organic material under extreme pressure and heat for a long period of time. Or, say you turn your garden hose on without any sort of nozzle at the end. What happens? Right, you get a steady stream of water coming out the end of the hose. But what happens when you place your thumb over the end of the hose and apply pressure to the water? The water shoots out the hose, doesn’t it? See? That is how pressure transforms and creates a fun and exciting result outcome. So don’t run from the pressure in your business or the pressure you might be feeling as you consider a podcast or some other platform building strategy. That pressure is your guiding force and it will direct you toward big result outcomes if you let it. So don’t ever give up — just remember — when you are feeling the pressure — you are likely to soon experience massive growth and your business is about to jettison forward into something amazing. Keep the faith, Onward Nation and never give up. So with that…I want to thank you again for taking the time to be here with me today. It is an honor to have you here — thank you for tuning in — I am delighted you chose this episode to be what you listen to, study, and take with you on your morning run, or maybe Onward Nation has become part of your daily commute, or in some other way has become part of your morning routine.

Ty Bennett (@TyBennett on twitter) joins host Craig Price to discuss his book Partnership is the New Leadership. Leadership is something many people want to have but often their style can be less effective than they want. Benevolent dictators and force of personality can only work with a few. How can leaders be more effective? By partnering with their employees, of course. Craig and Ty discuss how leadership with short term goals can reap quick rewards but have long-term side effects (few that are good), how commitment between employee and employer is a two-way street and how they both agree that motivation is overrated.

My friend and mentor, Ty Bennett is nearly two decades younger than I, but infinitely wiser. He, along with Hall of Fame speaker Chad Hymas and New York Times bestselling author Don Yeager, recently announced the publication of their book, The Two Most Important Days, a parable about finding and living your purpose in life. While the book targets a broad audience, it will resonate with social entrepreneurs as especially relevant. “The main idea,” Bennett says, “is to discover what your purpose truly is. When you are driven by passion and living your purpose, your work becomes contagious.” He adds, “I think for entrepreneurs and changemakers it is important to understand that people don’t buy what you do, they buy what you stand for. Purpose creates movements and builds tribes.” Please consider whether a friend or colleague might benefit from this piece and, if so, share it.

Stories are built into our DNA. For thousands of years they have shaped cultures, religions, and whole civilization.

We weave through scientific studies, TED Talks, and documentaries; as well as doing flybys of Mad Men, Seinfeld, Frankenstein, The Princess Bride, and others. Oh, and curious about the story of Where There’s Smoke itself? Who’s behind it? How did it start? Why? Well, we’ll give you a glimpse into that, too.

Todays guest is someone who has entrepreneurial spirit running through him, and has demonstrated this from an early age. When he was 21 years old, he and his brother Scott started a business in direct sales, which they built to over $20 million in annual revenue while still in their twenties They hustled, they worked hard and they achieved great success. And for so many people that would have led to selling the company, to sit on a beach for the rest of your life time, but our guest was different. He believed that he had an ability to lead by demonstrating influence and storytelling to his staff. And more importantly he realised that by demonstrating his passion, enthusiasm, and of course sharing his talent for storytelling and encouragement with his employees, it was a great way to boost sales. And this seems to have been a very astute realisation as he has since gone on to even more success by sharing this knowledge across the world. He has presented sales techniques  in over 37 countries in the world, and now with his best selling books  The Power of Influence and The Power of Storytelling: The Art of Influential Communication flying off the shelf he stories are going out across the world. And from his home in Utah, filled with his wife Sarah, daughters Andie and Lizzy and sons Tanner and Drew he looks a very content person indeed. So was he surrounded by entrepreneurial parents and relatives when he was a younger man? And what did he see in his brother Scott, that made him realise that he was the business partner of choice? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Ty Bennett.

Need a boost in your presentation and speaking skills?                                           Read these books by Ty - The Power of Influence and The Power of Storytelling  Ty's backstory >>> Although he experienced financial success relatively early in his professional life, like many entrepreneurs, there remained a tug within his spirit; the thought that there is more to life than business and P and L sheets. When he made the decision to shift his role to focus on a speaking career, even the mentor who helped him build his earlier business warned him and flat-out told him "no". While Ty knew firsthand the benefits of seeking and following wise counsel, he also knew the stirrings of his heart and value of his message. He also knew, that to live up to his own potential, he had to make a way to share it.  Four rock-solid ideas Ty expands on If you entertain fear, fear will entertain you. If you've never had a naysayer, you haven't pushed your own envelop. Action is the antidote to fear.

Oh guys! If you want to hear little bits of wisdom and inspiration sprinkled through an entire podcast, this episode is for you. We talk with Ty Bennett — entrepreneur, speaker, author, podcaster — about a variety of topics: how to show up for others but also take care of yourself, how to tell your best story, how to best contribute in life ... the list goes on. And it's a good list. Ty also shares his “Core Four” or four things he believes bring us joy in life. And these four things spur an exciting challenge between Ty and us. Listen for it! You'll be so motivated and inspired from the episode. We loved talking with him so much, we have already invited him back!
