Struggling with broken systems, team confusion, or SOPs no one follows?  In this episode of Sales Is Not a Dirty Word, operations strategist Gwen Bortner shares how to fix your business systems, improve delegation, and finally build scalable operations - especially if you're a creative or visionary entrepreneur who hates rigid structure. Gwen brings insights from 40+ industries and decades of experience helping women create sustainable success without burnout.  If you've ever thought, “I'm not a systems person,” but you still know you need them - this is for you. You'll discover:  ✔️ Why most SOPs are written for people you wouldn't hire (and how to fix that) ✔️ How to know if it's a system issue or a people issue ✔️ The surprisingly simple thing your team needs that almost no one includes in an SOP ✔️ The trick to delegating without becoming a micro-managing stress monster ✔️ The personality mismatch that might be sabotaging your operations (hint: it's not your fault)

Once upon a time, I hosted a masterclass that had what I thought was a terrible conversion rate — until it wasn't. Not a single person bought on the call. But in the days that followed? EVERY person who attended wound up buying.In this episode, I'm breaking down the four-part framework I've used (and taught behind-the-scenes) to drive wildly high conversion rates — ethically, educationally, and without a bait-and-switch in sight. If you've ever felt allergic to bro marketing, or you want to sell on a masterclass but don't want it to feel manipulative or predatory… this one's for you.What's Inside This Episode:What I was taught that made my educator brain absolutely cringe and how most webinar frameworks get it completely backwardsMy secret weapon for not only teaching, but converting sales — using learning design to teach people to buy betterThe reason I refuse to teach anything I wouldn't use in my actual programThe one thing I HAVE changed about masterclasses to evolve with what works todayWhy I only attract people who already believe they're capableMy signature take on “consent-based selling” — and how I bake it in to every sales presentationHow you can steal this approach and build your own cash-converting masterclass

Kelly connects with Columbia Business School professor Sandra Matz to discuss her new book “Mindmasters: The Data-Driven Science of Predicting and Changing Human Behavior.” “We are fighting for attention. We want to be seen.”  “Behavioral residues are the by-product of our lives.”  “Each of us comes in many different versions.” 

In this powerful episode of My Fame, Explained, we sit down with legendary footwear designer Omar Bailey, whose career spans decades and whose impact on the sneaker industry is nothing short of revolutionary. From sketching shoes at just 7 years old to leading innovation at Yeezy/Adidas, Omar's journey is a testament to creativity, perseverance, and vision.Now at the helm of his own independent, Black-led footwear company, FCTRY LAb, based in Los Angeles, Omar is shaking up the industry. His company is disrupting the traditional footwear model by offering partners more ownership and dramatically accelerating the production process through cutting-edge technology.We dig deep into Omar's story—from building shoes for stars like Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, and Karim Benzema, to his viral collaboration with rapper NLE Choppa, and the bespoke cleats he's designing with NFL athletes like Jalen Ramsey of the Miami Dolphins. We also talk about his recent spotlight on the new Roku series Visionaries, premiering today, where he was personally hand-picked by Keanu Reeves to be featured.This episode is a masterclass in innovation, hustle, and passion. Whether you're a sneakerhead, entrepreneur, or just love a good origin story—you don't want to miss it.Connect with Omar Bailey and FCTRY LAb: Website: https://www.fctrylab.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fctrylabOmar's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theomarbaileyFollow Larry Gilbert on⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the My Fame, Explained podcast on:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube

SUMMARY: In this lively episode, Terryn and Aaron dive into the dynamic tension between visionaries and operators in the world of business. The duo explores how the differing perceptions of time and execution create a "time-space continuum" that can either fuel success or spark chaos. From the visionary's lightning-fast ideas to the operator's methodical planning, they unpack real-world examples—like a client meeting earlier that day—where these two mindsets collide. The conversation covers the pitfalls of rushing ideas to market, especially in the online education space, and the importance of balancing speed with quality to avoid burnout and brand damage. With practical insights, like using bullet points for visionaries and asking “What can I stop doing?” to prioritize, Terryn and Aaron offer strategies for fostering collaboration between these essential roles. They even entertain the idea of a "SWAT team" for quick-turnaround projects, ensuring visionaries get their dopamine hit without derailing the operation. Tune in for a blend of humor, relatable stories, and actionable advice to bridge the gap between big ideas and flawless execution.   Minute by Minute: 0:00 Introduction 1:51 Where are we at with that? 3:52 The danger of speed in the online education space 7:47 Visionary and operator, polar opposites 13:05 Working through implementing an idea 18:03 It's never cost you less than right now 20:17 What can I stop doing?

In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with my longtime friend and brilliant leader, Barry O'Cotell. We explored the theme of "Bringing Unity Through Deeper Conversations," focusing on his innovative board game, Conversations, which he created to facilitate meaningful dialogue among people. Barry shared his journey of over 30 years in helping individuals clear subconscious blocks that hinder authentic communication. He described how the game encourages players to move beyond small talk and engage in what he calls "soul talk," fostering genuine connections. Launched 20 years ago, the game has been played worldwide, helping people discover similarities rather than differences, ultimately promoting unity. We discussed the various levels of conversation, including self-awareness and empathic listening, and how the game creates a safe space for vulnerability. Barry emphasized the importance of listening to understand rather than to respond, which can transform interactions and relationships. Throughout our conversation, Barry shared inspiring stories of transformation, including how the game has helped individuals and groups connect on a deeper level, leading to renewed relationships and even marriages. He highlighted the significance of personal growth for leaders and how our communication styles shape the culture around us. Barry also introduced his nonprofit organization, Visionaries of Light, aimed at fostering deeper connections in communities. He shared details about their monthly gatherings and the vision for a Conversations app to facilitate meaningful exchanges. As we wrapped up, Barry left us with a powerful reminder: "You do make a difference in how people experience their lives." This episode serves as a call to action for all of us to engage in deeper conversations and contribute to a more connected world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Have you ever felt stuck or uncertain about your path? Yeah, me too This week I get to share on the realm of desire and the impact it has on personal transformation.

What's up, dudes? CM Chuck from Just Another Friday Night and Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas  join me to talk about '80s action cartoons we wish had Christmas episodes!  From Transformers to GoBots, from Voltron to M.A.S.K., these cartoons delivered action and adventure to the max! Unfortunately, they also left out the holiday cheer. Many of these cartoons were epic, leaving us wondering why they didn't include a Christmas themed episode. In fact, a few even had comic Christmas issues in the UK. We get into and pitch ideas for Transformers, Thundercats, M.A.S.K., COPS, TMNT, Voltron, Dungeons & Dragons, SilverHawks, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, GoBots, Captain N, Visionaries, Thundarr, Inhumanoids, and Dino • Riders! And that's just to start with! There will definitely be future episodes on this topic.Ice and snow episodes? Check. Other holiday themed episodes? Got 'em. '80s Christmas action? Nope. Not even a little. So grab your blaster, hop in your transforming vehicle, and fight along to this episode on '80s action cartoons we wish had Christmas episodes!

https://youtu.be/0SSL_XThHdQ Podcast audio: A new ARI podcast series gives you a window into ARI's educational programs by showcasing our faculty as they discuss books of recent interest. The series, the ARI Bookshelf, premiered on August 6 with an episode discussing Wolfram Eilenberger's book The Visionaries. Panelists included Ben Bayer, Jason Rheins, Greg Salmieri, and Shoshana Milgram. The visionaries of the book's title are four mid-twentieth century female philosophers: Simone de Beauvoir, Hannah Arendt, Simone Weil, and Ayn Rand. Through interweaving biographies of these four figures, the book aims to show, as its subtitle puts it, “the power of philosophy in dark times.” According to Ben Bayer, “this was a very interesting book to read, especially because of the kind of novelistic quality of it, where you're not just reading about their ideas, but you're seeing what's happening in their lives […] against the backdrop of some pretty dramatic geopolitical events of the period.” Among the topics covered: Panelists' general takes on the book; How Simone Weil's philosophy causes her to martyr herself; The thematic unity of the four figures; The significance of the four figures being women; The book's sloppy treatment and misrepresentation of Rand; How the book whitewashes evil; Why the book may be worth reading. The video premiered on August 6, 2024.
