Today we are going to dissect this conversation on High-Value men. Shout out to my younger brother for making me aware of Kevin Samuels's video. Eric watched him on Joe Budden’s podcast. What Eric learned is this conversation is not about are you a good person, a good father, a nice guy...none of that. It is purely about your market value--how the world values you as it relates to business, projects, social standing--what is a moment of your time worth, etc. Eric boiled this down to 10 points--we encourage the culture to keep having this conversation consider our list but come up with your own.

Essentially the standard is to recreate something that matches reality. It is humbling to try and do that."—Eric BowmanIn this episode we’ll cover:What it was like being one of 3 programmers working on The SimsWhy going into video games is a super risky ventureTimeless principles that helped Eric come into organizations and change the cultureWhy the west coast is unique in terms of tech entrepreneurshipKey Milestones[2:01] – Eric wanted to be a physicist but programmed on the side while in school. His first job was at Maxis, the sim city franchise. Eric decided to join the team for what would eventually become 'The Sims'. [4:30] – After leaving Maxis, Eric worked at plenty of companies including a startup, a phone company, a fashion flash sale company as well as others. He's currently at Tomtom. [10:38] – Eric talks about what it was like working on The Sims in the early days. Unlike today, back then teams for videogames were small! He explains why video games are a risky venture and most video games fail. [15:33] – It took some time for Eric to transition from programmer to engineering manager. Though it was a challenging move or him, it came down to making a greater impact. [20:34]- What Eric looks for when hiring? Leadership, impact and growth mindset are major pillars to consider.

Laziness has traditionally been something that is frowned upon, however, as we hear from Bill Gates, there are certain aspects of laziness that can serve a business really well. Lazy people often look for the easiest way to do something, so this tendency, combined with intelligence, can be a great boost for finding new and quicker methods! These types of thinkers often did not do very well at school (like Eric!) and it is only out in the real world of business and startups that they can begin to excel by tapping into their unique gifts! Listen in to hear all about it!   TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:21] Before we jump into today’s interview, please rate, review, and subscribe to the Leveling Up Podcast!

Today is pretty exciting. We got the chance to get on the phone with the Borough President of Brooklyn, New York City, Eric Adams! Both in and out of his role as a politician, Eric does some absolutely incredible work.   One of the fascinating parts about Eric’s journey and story is that he got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes around the time he became the Borough President of Brooklyn. Within three months of this diagnosis, however, he cured himself by going on a plant-based diet! He lost 35 lbs, lowered his cholesterol by 30 points, restored his vision, and completely reversed his diabetes. And now, he’s also written a book about it; Healthy at Last: A Plant-Based Approach to Preventing and Reversing Diabetes and Other Chronic Illnesses. And he’s not stopping there — he’s also trying to get the hospitals in Brooklyn to change the food that they provide!   In this conversation with Eric, we got into so many different sides of the equation around food, nutrition, healthcare, education, public safety, and beyond. The work he’s doing, not just to change his own health habits, but in getting other people to see past the accepted norms around nutrition (and what they think is possible for themselves) is truly awe-inspiring. We can’t wait for you all to tune in!   IGNTD Specials: IGNTD Live Online Groups (Free for 14 Days) IGNTD Subscription ($43 per month & 30 days of Live Groups included) IGNTD “Once an Addict” Campaign   Topics Discussed: [:34] Talking life and travel!

[13:06] What Eric discovered after adopting a plant-based diet and what his book, Healthy at Last, is about. [15:08] Why we tend to put our nutrition last — and what we can do, instead, to put it first. [17:28] The problem in healthcare. [20:40] Eric’s experience with traditional medicine treating his diabetes and his realization about how much more exciting healthy food could really be. [22:33] What holds us back from change and what we should really be focusing on when it comes to change. [24:18] What Eric hopes people take away from his book, Healthy at Last. [27:38] Eric shares one of his missions for schools around educating students on how to read labels on food. [28:04] What Eric is doing right now as Borough President to create change in Brooklyn.

Building a sophisticated AI that can evolve to fit our vast and diverse needs is a Herculean challenge. Today we speak with senior engineer Eric Steen about Automata, his experimental Elixir project that uses neuroevolution and cutting edge theory to create a multi-agent behavior tree — or really good AI in the common tongue. But before we tap into that rich topic, we talk with Eric about tech burnout, his background, and why Elixir is an excellent language for writing modern software. He then unpacks AI concepts like the need to develop backpropagation in your system, and the value of “neural diversity,” and Markov decision processes. After Eric gives his take on architecture versus design and the place of domain-driven design, we discuss Automata. A key breakthrough, Eric shares his enthusiasm for ‘novelty search,’ where machines learn from a variety of new behaviors and searches, as opposed to completing one task at a time. We touch on Automata’s progress, Eric’s long-term approach, and what his project might be used for. Near the end of our interview, we chat about CryptoWise, a collaborative analysis platform for cryptocurrency. Todd Resudek then opens with another edition of Pattern Matching, where he interviews Whatsapp engineer Michał Muskała. They talk about Michał’s career, the movies and music that he enjoys, and the projects that excite him. Tune in to hear more about both Michał and neuroevolution in AI. Key Points From This Episode: Experiencing tech burnout and challenges around algorithms rendering you redundant. Hear about Eric’s programming background and shifts in the industry. Backpropagation and using Elixir to build a neural evolutionary system. How Markov decision processes help systems choose between possible actions. Eric’s take on architecture versus design and the place of domain-driven design. Exploring Automata — Eric’s ambitious multi-agent behavior tree. The importance of neurodiversity when building AIs; they need to adapt to many needs. Novelty search; why learn through one task when you can learn through a variety of tasks at the same time? Automata’s practical applications and why Eric sees it as a long-term project. Eric shares a progress report on his work and using design processes like Sprint. What Eric would like people to use Automata for. A sense that Elixir is gaining in popularity within Silicon Valley. Eric gives an elevator-pitch for CryptoWise, a collaborative analysis platform for cryptocurrency. Todd Resudek interviews Michał Muskała on another edition of Pattern Matching.

  PROFILES SUPPLY CHAIN CONVERSATIONS   —————————————————   EPISODE 9 - ERIC JOHNSON, SENIOR EDITOR FOR TECHNOLOGY AT THE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE  'Navigating the Supply Chain Network'   —————————————————   Welcome to Episode 9 of Profiles, a podcast centred around supply chain conversations, hosted by Brian Glick, founder and CEO of Chain.io.   Our guest this week is ERIC JOHNSON. With a background in journalism and business, Eric studied for his BA in Journalism at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and also has an MSc from Leeds University.  Eric started his career at Orange County’s largest daily newspaper, where he worked for 4 years before leaving to study business in more depth. He then took a position as a business reporter with Long Beach Press Telegram in California. Eric currently sits as head of technology for the Journal Of Commerce. Eric reports upon the most cutting edge concepts within the Supply Chain network. His passion in the process was ignited when he first realised the massive amounts of infrastructure involved in moving products from A to B. Once the light bulb went on Eric found himself immersed within the whole industry. He recently helped organise the JOC Logistics Technology Conference (LOGTech) in Las Vegas and will be involved with the upcoming Spring TPM20 Conference in Long Beach.   “….The biggest hurdle right now is sort of cultural, and it’s not even necessarily like ‘Oh people are resistant to change’. I think a lot of it is a cultural resistance to buy capacity on a dynamic basis.”   Listen in as Brian and John discuss: How did Eric originally end up reporting on the Supply Chain Network What is it about the industry that keeps Eric interested. Is there space within the industry for external perspectives, can the industry be improved from the outside? What Eric finds exciting within the Supply Chain network currently? The trough of disillusionment discussed and how it affects perspective. Eric discusses his involvement with the LOG Tech conference in Las Vegas and the upcoming TPM (and El Dorado)  conferences. Can technology integration help the Supply Chain to function better and how can these changes be implemented? The importance of not judging your business too harshly by comparing it to other companies. Focus on the strong points and work on the rest.   “…. You really need to make a decision. What are you really good at internally, what are you not so good at. What in the market is plentiful in terms of numbers and solutions, and prevalent, and where is investment going…. ”   Resources mentioned in the show: Eric's LinkedIn Page https://www.joc.com/ https://www.joc-tpm.com/ https://blog.chain.io/for-forwarders-aligning-your-digital-and-business-strategies   Subscribe to the podcast in iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts so that you’re updated when we post a new episode!   Take care, and until next time,   Brian Glick chain.io

In this episode, I speak with independent political analyst Eric Draitser. I ask Eric expand upon his analysis of recent events in Venezuela, expressed in his piece in CounterPunch ‘Trump’s Coup in Venezuela: The Full Story,’ in which Eric lays into the recent decision by the Trump Administration to back “interim president” Juan Guaido as the rightful leader of the nation. Eric explains the celebrated successes of the ongoing Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela under the successive governments of Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro, the legitimate criticisms of the current Maduro-led government in Venezuela, the colonial legacy of the United States’ relationship with Latin America in general, and what this ongoing incursion by the United States into the Venezuelan government and economy will ultimately lead to in the future. What Eric does in this discussion is provide a much fuller and richer picture of what is currently happening in Venezuela, in light of the recent decision by the Trump Administration — under the direction of President Donald Trump, VP Mike Pence, National Security Advisor John Bolton, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and “special envoy” to Venezuela Elliot Abrams, among others — to back “interim president” of Venezuela Juan Guaido as the rightful leader of the nation, a process that has been described as a “democratic and constitutional transfer of power” by Bolton.* In spite of the obvious reasons why the United States would be interested in deposing the elected government for its abundant resources (oil), Eric digs into the deeper reasons as to why this is happening: the Bolivarian Revolution (described as an ongoing process; imperfect but successful), enacted by Hugo Chavez under his tenure as President, emboldens and empowers regional resistance to Western influence — which includes the neoliberal economic agenda and U.S. military hegemony in Latin America — allowing Leftist social movements in the region to grow and thrive, as has been the case in recent decades. The Bolivarian Revolution stands as a threat to the Monroe Doctrine, an outlook espoused within United States foreign policy toward Latin America in general, giving the United States the ideological justification to impose its will upon Latin American nations to further its own interests. Eric exposes the underlying mechanisms that have led to an escalation of tensions between the United States and Venezuela, the Maduro government and the Capitalist class in Venezuela, as well as between regional players (Colombia) and the Venezuelan government. We discuss this and more in this episode.

Is there an optimal level of beta you should be in? Is higher always better? The guys take on some keto myths as they discuss a question from Jessie who wants to know if there is an optimal ketone range to be in. So many opinions, does this question have an answer? (Eric says yes!) What Eric has seen with his coaching clients. Do you need to be at 3.0 mmol to experience enhanced brain cognitive? What does Eric's blood usually test at? What happens to your ketone levels as your body becomes MORE fat adapted? Is it true the higher your beta level, the better you feel? And remember that ketone monitoring is like a spot test.

Single Grain was a struggling digital marketing agency before Eric Siu took over. In this episode, he shares how he took them from unprofitable to working with clients like Uber, Amazon, and Salesforce, last year generating $2M in revenue. Topics Discussed in this Episode: [02:38] What Eric learned from his experience working at Treehouse [04:03] What kind of shape Single Grain was in when Eric first got involved with it [07:25] How things got worse for Single Grain [09:11] What they did to keep Single Grain from going out of business and turn things around [11:36] How they got their clients to stick for 12 to 18 months [12:46] What helped Single Grain the most in terms of marketing [18:06] How they figured out what actually works for SEO [20:20] How they started doing a podcast and growing it substantially [23:35] The strategies that they used to grow the Marketing School Podcast [29:40] How to set and manage client expectations   Key Takeaways: Whatever you do in your life, as long as you’re constantly trying to make yourself and grow, you will earn people’s respect. You can see a lot of instability happen when sales aren’t going well. Everything that you want to get done in a company is all based on people. Whatever you’re trying to accomplish, you have to be good with people. If you’re starting an agency, paid advertising is fantastic. And it’s a nice gateway into other services down the road. When the client thinks of you more as the extended arm of their marketing team versus just a vendor, that’s when your relationship with them last a lot longer. Action Steps: Build a relationship capital with people. Vet every single one of your hires, no matter how senior they are. Write evergreen content and then use Brian Dean’s Skyscraper Technique. If you decide to do a podcast, publish an episode every single day. Constantly bring new ideas to the table for your clients. Eric said: “As long as you’re constantly trying to grow yourself, people are going to respect that.” “When sales are happening, things are fine; but when things aren’t going well, that’s when you start to see a lot of instability.” More from Eric Siu: Eric’s Instagram Single Grain Growth Everywhere Podcast Marketing School Podcast Resources mentioned: The Skyscraper Technique by Brian DeanMixergy Podcast Redpoint Ventures Rocket Fuel by Gino WickmanTim Ferriss Podcast Treehouse Sponsor link 14-day Free Trial to LeadQuizzes Thank you for listening!

Eric and Chris Martinez are serial entrepreneurs, international best-selling authors, and twins. Together, they run Dynamic Duo Training, host the Dynamic Lifestyle Podcast, and help others live a more dynamic lifestyle.   These two are rocking it right now, but getting there wasn’t easy – they had to stumble through a really dark path before they found the way.   In This Conversation We Cover: [4:30] The 3:00 AM conversation that changed the Martinez brothers’ lives (and the dark period that followed) [6:45] The turning point in their lives [7:40] Dealing with negative emotions & the fitness pendulum swing [9:00] Tai Lopez’s $25,000 mastermind [15:50] The truth about building a business online & the darkest time in the Martinez’s business [20:20] The bad habits and behaviors that Eric and Chris are currently working on [25:00] What Eric & Chris are currently obsessed with, outside of work [31:15] Relationships & business [33:00] How a morning routine helps you look better, feel better, and be healthier [35:00] How Cole Hatter inspired the Martinez brothers to travel to Mexico to help orphans (and why they continue to give back) [38:45] Advice for someone starting an online business   A Life-Changing Night   Eric & Chris were only 17 when, just three days before Christmas, a chaplain and highway patrol officer knocked on their door. Their father had been killed in a car accident, “and from that moment our life pretty much turned around in a 360.”   They lost their father, and as a result it felt like they lost part of their mother. Ultimately, they lost their role models.   The Martinez brothers realized they were going down a dark path, and they were lucky enough to meet their first mentor. He taught them the science behind fitness and body composition, and that really laid the foundation for their careers.   A Life-Changing Mastermind   The Martinez brothers really took mentorship to the next level when they joined Tai Lopez’s mastermind. They had to offer up a whopping $25,000 to join – it was scary, but it felt like the step they needed to take.   And, in the end, “it was probably one of the best investments we’ve ever made.”   It didn’t teach them one strategy to completely transform their business, but it did completely transform their mindset.   “The mindset we acquired from Tai Lopez’s mastermind is just relentless, it’s unstoppable. Nothing is going to stop us from attaining our vision and impacting the world in what we’re set out to do.”   The New Era of Fitness   If you’re an entrepreneur putting health on the backburner, then Eric & Chris Martinez have a message for you: STOP!   “Put health at the forefront. After that, you can focus on your wealth, your love, and your happiness… but today, I see so many people putting their health on the backburner because they aren’t seeing some sort of ROI coming out of that.”   To help, the Dynamic Duo are giving away a free book: The New Era of Fitness.

How to strategically create cornerstone content, with Stephen Woessner. Good Morning Onward Nation – I’m Stephen Woessner and welcome to today’s solocast. Before we dive into the strategies that I wanted to share with you this morning – I first wanted to say thank you. Thank you for making 2017 the best year for Onward Nation – the most downloads we have ever had...the most countries we have ever reached...and the most impact we have ever created. Each and every day – my team and I are so very grateful for your generous gift of you sharing your time with us by listening to our episodes and then sharing your feedback by letting us know – thumbs up or thumbs down and how we can get better the next time. I am honored that you choose to invest a portion of the 86,400 seconds you have each day with our guests and with me. So I want you to know how much I appreciate you and that we are committed to raising the bar – the standard of excellence – the value we deliver to you. We as business owners – each of us every day – when we wake up and our feet hit the floor – need think of ways to deliver even more value to the customers and clients we have the privilege of currently serving – and – the customers and clients we look forward to serving in the future. There needs to be that insatiable hunger in you that drives your business to give more...to create more...to deliver more...because when that hunger is there...it not only elevates your business to that next level – but – it protects you by giving you what you need for survival. I have a Successories quote hanging on the wall behind my desk that encapsulates how I feel about the power of starting the day with the right momentum. The quote is called... “The Essence of Survival” and it goes like this... “Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed...every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter if you are the lion or the gazelle...when the sun comes up...you’d better be running.” So thank you, Onward Nation, for being the driving force for my Predictive ROI team and I. We appreciate all of the hugs you have given us – and we appreciate the pushes, too. Please know – we are working hard to get better each and every day and please keep the feedback coming. So now let’s turn our attention toward today’s strategies... During Episode 659 several weeks ago...I shared some insight into why I firmly believe that most business owners look at marketing through the wrong end of the lens – and because of this – they tend to see an incomplete set of vital metrics – and consequently – they miss opportunities in lead gen, selling, and driving revenue. Onward Nation...in addition to expecting your sales and marketing efforts to create and nurture demand for your product and service offering...your marketing, and the content you create to power it, should also represent a profit center in your business – not a cost center. Yes, you should get paid to create content. And that is possible when you begin looking at your marketing through the correct end of the lens. You will see revenue opportunities beyond lead gen and customer acquisition. You will begin to see the opportunity for sponsorships, events, book deals, speaking engagements, and much more. During Episode 659 several weeks ago...I shared tangible examples of what I call Cornerstone Content. I defined what cornerstone content is and shared several specific strategies for how you can monetize the cornerstone content you create. So for today...we are going to take a step backward in the process – well before monetization – because I want to share with you a strategic framework that you and your team can use to create the content that you will later monetize. And yes, I agree – this does seem a bit backwards. Why share monetization strategies before sharing the strategy framework that makes it all possible. I decided to organize it this way...because if you are like me...and most business owners...I thought I need to paint the picture of what was possible in Episode 659...to give you a why this matters...because I could give you the road map for the “How”. So for today – I am going take several pages right out of the Predictive ROI cookbook so it can guide the strategic conversations you should be having with you and your team. This recipe contains the actual ingredients my team and I use when we are on-site working with clients during our 2-day intensives. The topics are deep...the topics will likely push you and your team to think creatively about your business development...and will challenge you to hold each other accountable. This framework will chart the course for you and your team so that when you wake up, you can start running and confidently know...you are running in the right direction. And ultimately, as a result of this process...you will be able to look at your marketing through the correct end of the lens, which will help you move your business onward to that next level because your marketing will no longer be a cost center – but a profit center for your business. Let’s get started by reviewing what I believe you and your team need to accomplish during Day One. Begin the process with a deep dive into your point-of-view – your position about why you do what you do within your business. Your point of view, or POV for short...is a bold statement about what you believe to be true. It might be provocative and thought-provoking...maybe even controversial. It may be turn off a wide swath of people who are not your audience – but for those who are part of your tribe, or could be...it will be a beacon in the night for them. When you say it...when you share it...when you build content around it...your tribe will hear and respond. Your POV will help you build an audience – it is that magnetic. And because of these attributes of a well-crafted POV...it may take some digging to find it. It typically doesn’t reside on the surface. You and your team will need to push each other to find it. It’s not about customer service, features, advantages, or benefits. It is about experience – why a customer chooses you over the myriad of other options in the marketplace. To help...think of some thought leaders and what they stand for and what their brands stand for...or what their positions stand for...or how they built a category when previous to them entering the market...the category didn’t even exist. Just like Simon Sinek did when he encouraged us to “Start with Why”. Simon now owns that very simple phrase – but because of his POV – and the cornerstone content he builds around it – it is very clear what he stands for and it drives everything in his business. Here’s my point. You can do the same thing in your business when defining your POV. You just need to take the time to do it. So...ask yourself...what do you stand for. What is the flag you want to plant in firm ground? And don’t move on to the next piece in the process until you have your POV complete. Next...who is it you want to serve? I often to refer to the client avatar lessons I learned directly from Darren Hardy, former publisher of SUCCESS Magazine. In fact, if you go to Episode 308 of Onward Nation...you will find a detailed recipe for mapping out and identifying the attributes of your client avatar. But identifying the attributes of your client avatar is only one piece of the puzzle. You need to take that a step further by converting the avatar into a list of your Dream 25 prospects – these are the people you would most like to serve as clients for your business. So how do you do that? LinkedIn. Here again...another free resource for you. Just go back to Episode 455 of Onward Nation and you will have access to our full recipe on using LinkedIn to identify your Dream 25 prospects. The recipe is comprehensive – but working through it – will give you everything you need to ensure you are using LinkedIn effectively to fill your sales pipeline. Next...you and your team will need to identify three unique attributes to your brand – what truly makes you distinctive in the marketplace? What do you provide that no other company provides? For example...at Predictive ROI...our three uniques are: One -- we help clients get clear on their point-of-view Two -- we help them create high-quality cornerstone content that cements their POV into the hearts and minds of their audience with consistent thought leadership And three -- we help clients drive revenue by transforming their content into a Trojan Horse of Sales, which you can learn more about this strategy back in Episode 600 where I break it down in full transparency. We also help our clients attract an audience so a third party brand will want to pay to gain access to our client’s valuable audience. All of this combined typically represents a 5x to 7x return on our client’s investment, which gives Predictive ROI a compelling – and unique – value proposition. So what are your three uniques? Talk about it with your team. But don't accept surface answers. Dig deep. And when someone suggests that it might be X...push back with the question, “Okay, why is X important to our customers?” And when one of your teammates answers the question, ask the same question again, “Okay...that makes sense...but why is that important?” Repeat the process three times to keep peeling back the layers. And by the third time...you will arrive at something truly unique about your offering. Okay, by this time in the day – you will have accomplished a lot – your team will likely be ready to wrap and be finished – and deservedly so – you have checked some large boxes off the list. There is just one more box that needs to be checked to complete Day One – and that is to give your process for delivering your uniques...a name. At Predictive ROI...we call ours The Predictive ROI Method. I encourage you to keep it simple. Simple is best because if you are not careful, it will start to sound like marketing hyperbole, a bit slick, and too showy. And you don’t need that. Keep it simple. And then go celebrate with your team – you just accomplished some serious business development and strategic work. Okay...now come back refreshed for Day Two, which is all about defining what type of cornerstone content you plan to create -- and -- how you will define success and measure your progress along the way. You will begin the process by deciding what type of content will become your cornerstone. For example...do you prefer to speak or do you prefer to write? If you prefer to speak, you may want to consider a podcast, speaking engagements, or a video series as your cornerstone. Or, if you prefer to write...you might select blogs, articles, books, or research reports as your cornerstone. Or, you may enjoy aspects about both. For example, I enjoy interviewing guests for our Onward Nation episode – but – I also enjoy writing books. So for now, these are my primary cornerstones. So what do you prefer? To begin – you only need to – and only should – select one cornerstone. Then master the system and process with it before you select another one. Ideally, you should have at least two because that will keep you from being seen as a one trick pony – true thought leaders share their content across multiple channels, which gives – or creates the impression – that their content is everywhere, which of course it isn’t – but it sure seems that way to their target audience. Your POV will be the anchor within your cornerstone content. Each and every episode – every article – every blog post – will all point back to your point of view, which continues to plant your flag in firmer and firmer ground. And one of the most powerful aspects to creating high-quality cornerstone content is the amount of leverage each piece of content gives you through slicing and dicing. For example...you could take one of your podcast episodes...and transform it into 10 tweets, an eBook, top insights briefing that can be shared with your best customers, etc. Or, you could distill the content from 100 episodes down into a research report that truly sets your company apart from competitors in your industry. The point is that there a myriad of ways for you to slice and dice your cornerstone content into additional “spokes” that move out from the hub...and each spoke helps you extend your thought leadership even further and attract an even larger audience. Once you define the type of cornerstone content you will be producing and some of the spokes – the slicing and dicing that each cornerstone will provide you...it is time to begin formalizing your 1 and 3-year plans. Obviously, 3 years is a long time given the dynamics in tech, ever-changing economy, and the other factors that make predicting the results of a 3-year plan challenging at best. So for this exercise, I recommend you focus your attention around what success would look like for you at the end of 3 years. How will you know when you have reached where you wanted to go? Is that a number of employees, is it the size of audience, is it the amount of revenue generated by sponsorships, is it the number of attendees at a private event you are hosting, or how you have turned your business into a media channel? If you don’t take the time for you and your team to conceptualize a 3-year view of your business – then you may lose valuable time aimlessly wandering the wilderness, much like a leaf blowing in the wind. It has been my experience, that the following core elements are what makes up a simple – yet sound – plan to keep you and your team on track: First...identify your most vital priorities – the core things that you must accomplish or nothing else matters. Second...what are the measurables? How will you know when you have arrived - what does it look like? Third...what is the tactical plan? Who is going to do what, and when? Fourth...what are the obstacles or roadblocks that will likely rise up to get in your way – and if they do – what are the likely solutions that can be executed quickly? And lastly...accountability – who will be held accountable, to what, by whom, and when will checkpoint meetings or scorecard reviews be held so that progress can be evaluated and course corrections can be made if necessary? So...as we bring today’s solocast to a close...I want to leave you with one more example as to why this final thought regarding the strategic framework that we just reviewed. When you get this right – you give yourself the freedom and flexibility to build the kind of business that you want – that you desire – to truly live the kind of life that you want to live. Recently, I interviewed Dianna Booher for an encore episode, which airs on Monday, February 5th as Episode 678 – and during our discussion – Dianna explained how she was able to sell her company because of the reputation she had built in the industry as a thought leader because of her books, training courses, and other ways she helped create impact with her audience. Her body of work is impressive and she was rewarded for it – and you can follow a similar path if you are willing to put in the work. ------------------------------- So with that said...I want to again say thank you. Thank you for being here...thank you taking some of your invaluable 86,400 seconds you have today and sharing them with me. Please drop me a line at Stephen@predictiveroi.com and let me know what you thought of today’s solocast – thumbs up or thumbs down. I always want to know what you think so we can continue to get better and better and be of greater value to you and your team. We will be back tomorrow with an encore interview with Eric Levenhagen. You may remember Eric from the tax planning strategies and recommendations he shared way back in Episode 25. And when the new tax laws were passed, Eric and I quickly compared schedules to get him back from an encore interview. I wanted Eric to share his insights and recommendations from the perspective of a business owner to help make sense of the new legislation – but even more importantly – what you can do about it to protect yourself, your family, your business – while minimizing the taxes you pay. What Eric shared could represent tens of thousands in tax savings for you and your business. Until then...onward with gusto!  

In episode #518, Eric and Neil explain why it is very important to travel in order to successfully market to other countries and regions. Tune in to hear how traveling will help alter your perspective and the differences between some countries around the world.  Time-Stamped Show Notes: [00:27] Today's Topic: How Traveling Helps You Become a Better Marketer [00:34] Eric just got back from Japan and the trip gave him a lot of perspective.

On episode #499, Eric and Neil list five hacks that will help you make more money off your customers (particularly existing customers). Tune in to hear some great tips that will help to increase your profits!  Time-Stamped Show Notes:  [00:28] Today's Topic: 5 Simple Yet Effective Hacks that'll Get Your Customers to Pay You Double the Money [00:35] Hack #1: Increase your prices. [01:12] Hack #2: Add upsells and downsells. The easiest way to get more money, is to get your existing buyers to pay you more; it is easier to get people who are already paying you to pay more money. [01:34] For example, GoDaddy offers 10-20 upsells or downsells when you are checking out. [01:52] What Eric and Neil have found, is that upsells that offer speed and automation tend to have the highest “take rate”. [02:22] Hack #3: Retain your customers. Use a program like Ask Nicely, as it will help you automate communication between you and your clients. [03:06] Think about how you can retain customers and provide a service for them. [03:50] Hack #4: Run re-marketing ads on YouTube. [04:15] Do the “opposite” sales pitch; whatever you went with before, market it using the opposite tactic. [04:57] Hack #5: Use Drift or a chat box program to keep in touch with customers. [05:45] That's all for today! [05:46] Eric and Neil recommend the Problem Solvers podcast, because there is an episode about Burrow, the Dollar Shave Club for couches. To listen go to singlegrain.com/solve.

Successful sales really comes down to your mindset. It sounds simple but it’s true. In this episode I’ve invited an outstanding sales coach and mentor, Eric Lofholm to speak with me about the issue of developing the right sales mindset to accelerate sales and success. Eric is one of those guys who was not successful when he first entered the sales world but through learning and personal growth, he has transformed his life and sales career - to the point he is now an in-demand sales trainer and speaker. You’ll learn valuable lessons from this conversation so I encourage you to take the time - no, to MAKE the time - to listen to what Eric shares. From worst to first salesperson in the company, within 60 days If you’re going to take the time to learn the sales skills that are essential to your career it’s important that you learn them from someone who has done what you need to do. Eric Lofholm is one of those guys. When he began his sales career he was the worst salesman in the company. The numbers proved it. But as he dedicated himself to training, his numbers improved rapidly. Within 60 days he was the top producer in the company and he’s only risen further since. That’s the kind of mentor you want and on this episode of Boost Your Sales and Lifestyle, Eric tells you what he did to accomplish such improvement and how you can do the same. Selling equals service to people, nothing more When we talk about having a successful sales mindset we mean that the way you think ABOUT sales is vitally important. If you see it as an intimidating, scary thing then that’s exactly what it will be for you. But if you are able to make the small but powerful tweak to your thinking - that sales is about nothing more than serving people - you’ll turn the corner and begin to experience exciting, enthusiastic conversations that lead to more sales and a better experience of the sales process for you and your prospects. You can hear Eric Lofholm’s transformative ideas about this sales mindset difference, on this episode. Eric Lofholm’s #1 sales closing tip: Get your prospect to “yes” before you get to the close The close is the most nerve-wracking part of any sales presentation because it is the point at which you ask the prospect for their business - it’s the “yes/no” point where everything is on the line. When I asked Eric Lofholm for his best sales closing tips he said the key to closing a sale successfully happens long before you get to the close. Your presentation and the way you go about it has to have the prospect eager to buy your product before you even ask the question. Find out how Eric accomplishes that and what it will take for you to hone your sales skills to the same level by listening to this episode. Who has the attention of your ideal customers? Learn how to collaborate with them If you want to increase your sales rapidly, one of the most non-obvious things you can do is to collaborate with people who already have your ideal clients within their sphere of influence. Look around you, who are the people and what are the companies that serve the people you want to help? Those are the relationships you need to nurture and establish so you can find ways to help each other help them. This part of the conversation I had with Eric Lofholm is one of the priceless gems he shared so make sure you take the time to hear what he teaches his clients about successful and lucrative collaboration. Outline of This Episode [1:15] Eric Lofholm: Sales coach and sales trainer extraordinaire [4:50] How to remove your resistance to sales and learn to embrace it [7:09] Important aspects of selling to women [18:01] How a sales template can help you be more comfortable in sales [19:39] What Eric means when he speaks about collaboration in the “new economy” [24:35] The sales mountain template Eric uses to train in every industry [28:54] Sales “no-no”s you need to be aware of Resources & People Mentioned http://www.saleschampion.com/ - Eric’s company Judy O’Higgins Arvee Robinson D.C.

On this episode we talk with Eric Tozer. Eric is a remarkable person who, while he often gets the spotlight due to his work with his non-profit Diabetes Sports Project, is a super humble guy and really in it to shine a light on others. Eric is specifically interested in helping other type 1 diabetic athletes succeed in their athletic pursuits. But it goes much further than that. He's also focused on how the success of competitive and endurance sports all translates from inspiration to action. What Eric learned early on is that it's one thing to be inspirational, it's another to actually help others take the steps necessary to become better versions of themselves despite having a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Our conversation goes on a journey from Eric's childhood in Sacramento, CA as a competitive soccer player through an NCAA Championship run. We discuss his sudden loss of 20 pounds and the surprise diagnosis with type 1 diabetes at the age of 22. Since that diagnosis, Eric has run multiple Ironman triathlons and marathons. We also discuss the trials and victories he experienced through a 15 day 3,000 mile foot race from San Diego to NYC with nine other T1D runners.  You'll learn that his athletic accomplishments are truly admirable but his work away from competing is even more special. Eric co-founded the Diabetes Sports Project to support type 1 athletes of all ages. Eric's passion for using sport as a tool to lead a healthy and successful life is clear throughout our conversation, and we are grateful to be able to feature him on this episode of the BRAVEST podcast.  Music Credits for BRAVEST Episode 002 Intro music - Poddington Bear, 'Sepia' & The Passion HiFi, 'Sweet Revenge' Bumper - Joakim Karud, 'Luvly' Outtro music - Joakim Karud, 'That Day'

https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/questtocurecancer My guest on today's podcast, Eric Remensperger, has been a practicing attorney for over 30 years. He is a partner at a major law firm, Proskauer, where he heads up the West Coast real estate practice. But that’s not the most interesting part. Eric is also a major-league biohacker who has cured himself of cancer. I first met Eric at the , and you may have seen his “daily shake” ingredients which appeared at the end of a blog I posted in July of last year entitled “”... I ran into Eric again in December at the , where he told me an incredible story about how his life had changed. In a nutshell, his decades long obsession with health and wellness hit the fastlane when he was diagnosed last spring with stage IV prostate cancer (with a Gleason score of 9), and as a result of that he did an incredibly deep dive into the science behind cancer and the various treatment protocols, some of which I’m sure we’ll get into on the podcast. For those of you who are concerned about cancer, or have been touched by it, I think you will find this a very interesting conversation. As a non-health-care professional who has gone from stage IV metastatic cancer to full remission, Eric can speak freely about his experiences and what he has learned (and continues to learn) about the theories on the causes of cancer and the premises behind the various treatment modalities. His goal is to assist those who wish to take charge of their own care by providing the information needed to better assist them in working with their doctors and healthcare professionals to find the best path to manage the disease by shifting from “cancering” to the body’s natural state of “healing”. Eric lives in Santa Monica, CA, where he is an advanced yogi and a health nut. During our discussion, you'll discover: -How Eric went from a cigarette-smoking, divorced lawyer to a complete yogi enthusiast and health nut, far before he found out he had cancer...[10:22] -The one book that stood out from the 21 books Eric read in the 14 days after discovering he had cancer...[24:05] -How "Qi" stagnation and emotional issues can cause cancer...[28:50] -The fascinating experiments by Wilhelm Reich in which he discovered something called "bions" that can precede cancer...[42:00] -The way that quantum physics and vibrational energies can allow you to believe yourself into a state of sickness (and vice versa)...[49:20] -The importance difference between nutritional ketosis and therapeutic ketosis...[52:25] -What Eric discovered about deuterium depletion and it's link to cancer...[54:25] -The one pharmaceutical anti-fungal drug that Eric takes and recommends looking into for anyone who has cancer...[57:40] -Why Eric swears by a one-two combo of hyperbaric oxygen and ozone therapy via rectal insufflation for killing cancer cells...[59:05] -Why Eric completely shut down his testosterone levels and chemically castrated himself...[66:45] -The role of apricot pits and wormwood toxins for shutting down cancer cells...[71:10] -The Pau D' Arco tea blend that both Ben and Eric drink every day to support their mitochondria and cellular health...[74:00] -Why sunlight is crucial to producing something called "GcMAF", a crucial component of your immune system...[76:42] -And much more!

A few months ago I was sitting at home, scrolling through Netflix and came across a documentary titled, Not Yet Begun To Fight. The film was incredible and inspiring. It centered around Colonel Eric Hastings and a foundation he started several years ago called, Warriors and Quiet Waters Foundation, whose mission is to, through fly fishing in Montana, create positive change in the lives of post-9/11 combat veterans. I found Eric’s email, we scheduled an interview, and here we are. What Eric’s doing with his foundation, and the passion with which he’s doing it, coupled with the inspiring way he’s touching the lives of combat veterans, is what this podcast is all about. Eric is a Bozeman, Montana native who graduated from Bozeman Senior High School. Although he was offered a full scholarship for music to Missoula, he turned it down, knowing that the only place he truly wanted to go was Montana State College (now MSU). At the encouragement of his father, Eric enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1960 at the age of 17. He wanted to be an aviator and knew that the Marine Corps was the connection he needed. Eric graduated in 1964 with a degree in history, philosophy and English, also earning his officer’s commission and marrying his high school sweetheart in the same year. Eric ended up attending every level of military school imaginable and earned two master's degrees along the way. After attending the necessary military schools, Eric moved to Hawaii where he learned to fly the F-8 Crusader, an airplane he fell in love with. He then learned to fly the A-4 Skyhawk, which he flew for the majority of his career, including the 168 combat missions in Vietnam. After his tour in Vietnam, Eric was sent to several places around the world, eventually reaching the rank of colonel. Remarkably, he was the chief of staff for Marine forces during Operation Desert Storm, in 1990-91.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-trauma-therapist-podcast-with-guy-macpherson-phd-inspiring-interviews-with-thought-leaders-in-the-field-of-trauma/donationsWant to advertise on this podcast?
