ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE: What happens when faith collides with fame? In this thought-provoking episode, I chat with award-winning artist Steph Carse, who pulls back the curtain on his journey in the entertainment industry. From performing alongside music legends to navigating Hollywood, Steph shares the personal highs and lows that refined his calling, showing how God has been shaping his mission all along.

Gifts are often used to build relationships in business, whether with clients, customers, or employees. But what if we have been doing gifting all wrong? In today's episode of Magic in the Room, Chris and guest John Ruhlin discuss a new way to think about gifting. The bottom line is that gifts can be used to build long-lasting relationships, but not if you just put the company logo on a mug and send it to everyone. Instead, you should intentionally make every gift focused on the receiver and create a lasting memory they will associate with you.       John is the founder of GIFT·OLOGY and the author of Giftology: The Art and Science of Using Gifts to Cut Through the Noise, Increase Referrals, and Strengthen Client Retention.      Find John on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnruhlin/ or at giftologygroup.com. 

In this episode, we explain the five love languages as described by Gary Chapman in his book The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts. From each, we draw a lesson that leaders can use to create better relationships with the people they work for, with, and adjacent to. Join us to find out the error we often make when communicating with others, even when we understand their perspectives, learn the many ways you can specifically connect with people who speak different love languages, and discover why it is important to first understand your own love language before seeking to understand others'.

Summary In this episode, Jonathan Barrett interviews Wazzy, a musician and filmmaker, about his journey from secular to Christian music and how he is using his gifts and talents for the kingdom. They discuss the language of believers and the transformative power of music. They also explore the challenges of living as a Christian in a secular world and the importance of dying to self and putting God first. In this conversation, WasionKey shares his journey from atheism to Christianity and how he found a firm foundation in Christ. He discusses the importance of offering his music as a way to glorify God and inspire others. They also explore the challenges of navigating conversations about Christianity and the need to be a peculiar people. WasionKey emphasizes the importance of preparing for spiritual warfare and the transformative power of worship. He shares where listeners can find him and stay connected. Takeaways Our gifts and talents can be used for the glory of God and to expand His kingdom. As believers, we speak a different language that reflects our faith and relationship with God. Music has the power to transform lives and bring people closer to God. Living as a Christian in a secular world can be challenging, but it is important to prioritize God and put Him first in all that we do. Dying to self and letting go of our ego and pride is essential in our journey of faith.

“Business, like life, is all about how you make people feel. It's that simple, and it's that hard.” —Danny Meyer, Setting the Table Danny Meyer is a famous restauranteur responsible for founding some of my favorite spots, including Gramercy Tavern, Eleven Madison Park, and the popular Shake Shack chain. He pioneered the philosophy of “enlightened hospitality.” That's the thing about engineering surprise and delight moments in your business. Like the example I share in this episode, while they may seem small or spontaneous, the best ones have intention and strong systems behind them. It's not hard to design a system to do this repeatedly and consistently for the people you love working with, encouraging more word of mouth referrals in the process, and reducing your reliance on marketing strategies that don't align. Today I'm sharing some examples of small gifts that make a big impact and leave a lasting impression on the people and clients you care most about.

We talk with Bob Burg, a leading authority on influence and referral marketing and coauthor of The Go-Giver. If you've questioned whether nurturing relationships with clients really works to a build business, struggled with implementing a successful referral marketing strategy, or have never been quite sure how to do relationship marketing, then this episode will remove all doubt and answer all your questions.

Today's guest is an expert in developing relationships for strategic success.  He is the world's leading authority in maximizing customer loyalty through radical generosity. While becoming the #1 performer out of 1.5 million sales reps for one of the world's most recognizable brands, he developed a system of using generosity to gain access to elite clients and generate thousands of referrals. He and his firm, Giftology, now help automate this process for individuals and organizations like UBS, Keller Williams, the Chicago Cubs, and Caesars Palace. He is the author of “Giftology: The Art and Science of Using Gifts to Cut Through the Noise, Increase Referrals, and Strengthen Retention” and has been featured in Fox News, Forbes, Fast Company, Inc., and New York Times.  Please join me in welcoming John Ruhlin.  In this episode, we discuss: his thoughts on leadership: “Leadership starts with self-leadership. Leadership is creating the future for others.” His goals of wanting to go to medical school and taking a sharp left into sales with Cutco Cutlery. When he found his ability to influence others using sales. His “typical” upbringing as a farm kid and how he achieved good grades in school. His uncommon skill of being able to ask for help. How he joined a country club in his early 20 “through the back door” and how that helped increase his Cutco sales. The importance of leaning in and being open to new opportunities. Why you should surround yourself with people that are not afraid to fail. Why the things that were the most painful in his life were the most important to him. How he started closing 9 out of 10 sales, and each sale provided him with 10-12 leads. How he wowed CEOs and why he spent six months getting “punched in the face” to get there. The importance of gifting the right gift, and how he got people to remember his name without using it. How he nurtures and sustains his network.

Today, John Ruhlin is a successful founder, CEO, author and sought-after speaker, but a few short decades ago he was just a farm boy from Ohio. His humble beginnings would take a turn as he began to earn jaw-dropping monthly checks as the greatest seller in Cutco's 68-year history – with no prior sales experience. ZERO. His secret sauce? Gift giving! In this episode John breaks down the power of radical generosity, why gratitude is your competitive advantage, how he learned to normalize tension in pursuit of his calling and why he's certain “the suck” of life often leads us to our significance. In short – don't sleep on this conversation. John's uncommon wisdom and unforgettable life story is one you've just got to hear!

Your creativity and entrepreneurial spirit got you here. Smarter systems will take you there. There is less friction in your operations and a greater focus on joyful work. There is a spacious calendar where you are free to dedicate time to your most compelling, strategic projects — the ones that best express your unique talents, powered by a Delightfully Tiny Team. It's time to stop working full time and start working free time: by applying agile operating principles toward building smarter systems, starting with a centralized business operations dashboard if you don't already have one. Today I'm sharing the key elements that a strong dashboard has; you'll know because it makes running your business much easier—to the point where you may even find that you don't need as many team members to power your operations.  You and your team will know exactly how to find what you need and run the business smoothly, reducing pressure, removing yourself as Chief Everything Officer, and preventing “death by a thousand question cuts.”

Receiving gifts is something that many clients expect around the holidays—we're simply conditioned to it. But it makes it hard for a business to stand out, which is a big part of why organizations send gifts in the first place.

When Jay Falconio was hired by Remco Insurance Services to oversee operations and human resources, he was instructed to grow what was essentially a mom and pop commercial insurance business. Jay had transitioned from a career in hospitality, and he didn't know a thing about his new industry. But he knew about people and how to treat them well, so, Joe did what he knew best. He found local talent to whom he gave time, attention, and guidance. He got to know employees as people outside of work, and they, in turn, bought into the culture at Remco.

“Brain science teaches that even if a prospect knows, loves, and believes in a company's offerings, after they become a customer, fear, doubt, and uncertainty will plague their thoughts.” That familiar feeling is buyer's remorse—and if you're not building systems to directly address it within customers' first 100 days, you are far more likely to lose them.  Regardless of where your business operates, what industry you work in, or the size of your operation, you are likely losing approximately 20 to 70 percent of your newly acquired customers in the first 100 days of the relationship. As Joey Coleman explains in this conversation, most are structured around customer acquisition, not customer experience. Today we're talking about how to flip the script and never lose a customer again. More About Joey: Joey Coleman is the author of the #2 Wall Street Journal bestseller, Never Lose a Customer Again: Turn Any Sale into Lifelong Loyalty in 100 Days. He helps organizations retain their best customers and turn them into raving fans via his entertaining and actionable keynotes, workshops, and consulting projects. He is an award-winning speaker and co-host of the Experience This! podcast. He's also a former criminal defense lawyer and one of the most generous, energetic people I know. 

Today, we are happy to be speaking with the legendary John Ruhlin! John is the founder of Giftology, and he is full of energy and great ideas! In this episode, John tells his fascinating story and talks about how he created Giftology. He explains how he developed the understanding of giving personal gifts and shares his best marketing and sales referral tool. He also discusses why you should focus on your inner circle and why he wrote the book Giftology. We hope you enjoy listening to today's enlightening conversation with John Ruhlin! JOHN RUHLIN BIO:  John Ruhlin is the world's leading authority in maximizing customer loyalty through radical generosity. He is the founder and author of Gift·ology and has been featured in Fox News, Forbes, Fast Company, Inc, and the New York Times. While becoming the #1 performer out of 1.5 million sales reps for one of the world's most recognizable brands, John developed a system of using generosity to gain access to elite clients and generate thousands of referrals. He and his firm now help automate this process for individuals and organizations like UBS, Raymond James, DR Horton, Keller Williams, the Chicago Cubs, and Caesar's Palace. John and the Gift·ology team can help any individual turn their clients into their own personal sales force to drive exponential growth. John's story John grew up in a modest family on a farm in a small town in Ohio. He learned, early on, that if he wanted something, he had to work for it. John did very well at school and wanted to become a doctor or a chiropractor. But his life and plans changed after he started dating a girl whose father, Paul, was a generous rain-making attorney. Mentorship Paul showed up in unusual ways for his relationships. That inspired John to want to be just like him at sixty. John was interning with Cutco, selling knives to pay for med school. He was not good at selling, and after he pitched to Paul, Paul offered to help him hit his goals.  Relationships Paul taught John that everything boiled down to relationships. Paul explained that if you take care of the family in business, everything else takes care of itself. That struck a chord with John. He started to mimic Paul in his relationships and sent some expensive knives to some CEOs he wanted to meet with as gifts. After pitching the CEO of a large insurance company, John walked out with an order for 1,000 knife sets! Number 1 distributer Cutco has worked with about 2,000,000 sales reps over 70 years. John became their number one distributor in the entire global history of the company by using the idea of giftology!  Giftology Giftology is about building relationships. If you want referrals, deal flow, or employee retention, you need to inspire people to want to advocate on your behalf. The best marketing sales referral tool  John learned early on that if you go all-in and show something in your relationships, it will come back to you a hundred-fold. He found it one of the best marketing sales referral tools on the planet!  All over the world John now owns a consulting agency that teaches people how to do giftology. He also writes books and speaks about it all over the world.  The core of his business The core of John's business is teaching people how to love relationships thoughtfully and at scale, while moving people emotionally. What John discovered about gifts  John discovered that it does not help to send people a gift with your logo on it. It is better to send them something personal with their name on it.  A recipe for building relationships John noticed that there was a recipe for building relationships with giftology. For it to work, you have to follow the recipe to the letter because every tiny detail and every intention counts. We were designed to want to reciprocate and do nice things for people who do things for us with no strings attached. Kindness, generosity, and love Everyone wants to be appreciated, acknowledged, and loved. The companies crushing it all lead with kindness, generosity, and love. They care for their employees and clients and invest in them. The inner-circle John believes that the inner circle matters just as much as the person writing the checks because those people influence the decisions. A six-figure deal John closed a six-figure deal with a basketball team because he treated the inner circle the same as he treated the CEO.  Event planners John treats event planners like gold because they have gone out of their way at times to become sales reps for his brand.  Show up repetitively and consistently When you move from being passively loyal to being actively loyal and show up repetitively and consistently for a relationship because you want to, not because you have to, the relationship will flourish. John's book, Giftology John wrote the book to spread the idea of giftology to others. He also wanted to drive credibility, have a global impact, and be the first one in the leadership space to talk about using gratitude and generosity to grow relationships and revenue. He has sold 110,000 copies in the last six years, and it changed everything for him! Covid Covid has shifted the priorities of many, but humans still need to connect. So although Covid made John realize that he can have an impact from afar, he still enjoys appearing on a big stage once or twice a month, shaking hands with people, and signing books.   Connect with Eric On LinkedIn On Facebook On Instagram On Website   Connect with John Ruhlin On LinkedIn Books mentioned: Giftology: The Art and Science of Using Gifts to Cut Through the Noise, Increase Referrals, and Strengthen Client Retention, by John Ruhlin Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook, by Gary Vaynerchuk Save Your Asks: Evolve Your Networking Currencies.

In today's episode, we cover the art of gift giving with John Ruhlin. John Ruhlin is the founder and CEO of Ruhlin Group, the master of building businesses by giving gifts, and the author of Giftology: The Art and Science of Using Gifts to Cut Through the Noise, Increase Referrals, and Strengthen Retention. Giving the right gift can radically strengthen any personal or business relationship, but what questions should you ask when thinking about the right gift for someone, what gifts should you avoid at all cost, and when is the right time to give a gift? What to Listen For Introduction – 0:00 Who do people often overlook when it comes to building and maintaining relationships? What can you do to make gift giving feel less like a transaction and more like a natural part of relationship building? How can you make gift giving a game changer for all of your personal and professional relationships? The secret to giving gifts that change your life – 13:17 How much money should you set aside for giving gifts every year and why do you need to plan for it? What is the ultimate recipe for gift giving and what should you think about when giving gifts? Examples of business changing gifts – 26:23 What crucial questions should you think about when personalizing a gift for someone? How should you start giving gifts if it's not something you're used to doing? What types of gifts should you never send? Tips for personal gift giving – 45:36 What gifts can you give to deepen your personal relationships? The right gift can change someone's life and create a memory that will last forever. But how can you figure out what that gift might be? For one, it must be meaningful to the receiver, and what things in a person's life are likely to be the most meaningful? In many cases, it's our values and our families, so think about how you might personalize an item that person uses or sees everyday and incorporate something related to their values or family. An example? How about a knife set in which each knife is engraved with a different favorite quote of theirs. A Word From Our Sponsors Do you LOVE the toolbox episodes?
