Podcasts about when drew

We are beyond thrilled that Drew Droege joined us this week! So thrilled in fact, that we neglected to introduce ourselves or name check the podcast in the episode. But rest assured, no one has tried to imitate us...yet. Drew weighs in on the on-going saga of the Kazakhstani bodybuilder who married a sex doll, divorced her and married two others. Plus, we discuss the little known Rita Wilson/Victor Garber movie, "Invisible Child". When Drew referenced this film in his one-man Off Broadway show a few years back, Anne knew she met her Lifetime soul mate. We think you'll agree, there's only one word to describe this plotline and it is "outrageous". Follow Drew on Twitter @DrewDroge to find out about all his appearances and his upcoming LA show, "The Golden Girlz: The Return". And of course, keep listening to "That's Outrageous". (Didn't forget to mention it here!) anne & crissy --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/crissy-shropshire/message

By Mark Crawford. In the dark, a phone rings. Early-morning calls are never good news. Brett and Drew wake up to learn that Brett's Aunt Maggie has died. Then they learn they've lost yet another Toronto house they were trying to buy. Soon they find themselves on a road trip to attend Aunt Maggie's funeral. Once they arrive at her small town, they get another surprise: Aunt Maggie has left Brett her century-old home. When Drew is passed over for a much-anticipated work promotion, the couple decides to ditch Toronto, move to Aunt Maggie's house and start a B&B. But how will the residents of this small community receive a gay couple from the big city?

PODCAST EPISODE 41: Drew Maddison, beekeeper and co-owner of Ministry of Chocolate, Croydon, Australia Other than bees and honey of course, there are two other things that I love dearly – small business and CHOCOLATE! Ministry of Chocolate is a family-owned and run business based on Croydon, Victoria, producing high-quality chocolate made on-site and supplied to a number of businesses across Melbourne, including luxury hotels, wineries and specialty chocolate stores. The Ministry started out at local farmer's markets across the city, before husband-and-wife team Drew and Karin Maddison found it increasingly difficult to produce their wares at home with two young boys wanting to taste test EVERYTHING! At that time, they took the brave but worthwhile leap and opened a large-scale kitchen. (Believe me, if I were their sons, I too would want to taste test all their delicious chocolates!) So, from one sweet tooth to another (and I know there are a lot of you out there), I am blissful to introduce you to co-owner of the Ministry of Chocolate and beekeeper Drew Maddison for episode 41 of the BEES WITH BEN beekeeping podcast. For Drew, his love of chocolate started when he was just a little tacker. The smell of melted chocolate would hover over his schoolyard from a local chocolate shop; and Roald Dahl's Charlie and Chocolate Factory was a definite well-loved read in his bookshelf. When Drew and Karin met while working for a large-scale bakery in Melbourne, they never imagined that some years down the line they would be running a high-end chocolate business together with a penchant for local produce: “We pride ourselves on using locally grown ingredients where possible. Our strawberries are form the Mornington Peninsula, our Almonds from South Australia and even our Salt from the Murrey River. But our pride and joy is being able to use our every own honey in our honeycomb chunks and bars.” Drew and Karin keep their own hives in the outdoor courtyard section of their factory space in Melbourne's east. And they LOVE their bees: “It's great having bees – it's similar to watching goldfish in a tank, however there are 60,000 of them, and their much smarter too! Also knowing your helping the environment and supporting the bee numbers is important to us.” Tune in to hear Drew and I chat about all things chocolate, bees, running a small business and our joyful business collaborations. www.ministryofchocolate.com.au www.bensbees.com.au

Good Morning Onward Nation — I’m Stephen Woessner, CEO of Predictive ROI and your host. Thanks very much for taking the time — please know — it’s always an honor to have you here. Today’s episode is going to be a solocast — where it will be just you and me exploring a topic with some real depth. And this episode is Part 2 of the solocast from several weeks ago that I entitled, “How to Market Your Way through the Crisis.” If you missed that episode — click here to listen to Part I. I will start off with a quick refresher of the highlights from Part 1 and then we will take a deep dive into what I wanted to share with you today so that you can continue marketing your way through the crisis — and — to put yourself in the very best position possible to come roaring out the other side. In Part 1 — I shared a number of 3rd-party research sources that showed the importance of not freezing in place as a result of the crisis…how to keep you imaginative skills running at full capacity…and…that the companies who came roaring out of the last 6 recessions where the ones who made progressive decisions and were not prevention-focused. The progressive companies smartly reduced operating expenses in order to boost financial efficiency — and — 75% of the companies did not reduce the workforce because they realized that to do so…would mean cutting into the muscle of the operation and would negatively affect their ability to come roaring out…when the economy was on the rebound. Instead — the progressive companies doubled down by making significant investments in R&D, marketing, equipment, facilities, and a variety of other strategic investments. I shared multiple examples back in Part 1…Episode 933 in case you want to look it up in your listening app…and again…the link is in today’s show notes. We also took a deep dive into the forms of marketing where progressive companies made their investments. Because what they didn’t do was spent loosely on advertising or other sorts of broad promotional tactics. Instead — they focused their efforts around strategies that would help them build trust in their brands…plant their flag of authority even deeper in the niches and industries they served. Which was super smart and synced up perfectly with the recent research study that my Predictive ROI team conducted alongside our research partner, Susan Baier, founder of Audience Audit. There is — without a doubt — a direct financial correlation between your authority position and financial ROI. And much of that is due to the critical importance your prospects and clients place on TRUST. So let’s peel this back a little bit more so we can explore it. We are entering the era of the authority. While you may already be tired of the phrase of “thought leader”, the truth is there aren’t that many of them…and there are even fewer occupying that status in the niches you and your team serve. Thought leaders don’t write content that any other agency, coach, or consultant could claim. Thought leaders don’t write about anything and everything — and thought leaders don’t compete on price. And their time — your time — is now. Why am I saying that so definitely? For the last 20-years — the global PR agency, Edelman has conducted research that examines who and what consumers trust and how that trust influences buying behaviors. I shared some of the results of their special March study during my Market Your Way Through the Crisis webinar several weeks ago… But if you weren’t able to attend — you can find the free replay here and I also included the full slide deck…all 199 slides that I used. No email required — happy to share it with you and your team. Some of the biggest takeaway’s from Edelman’s research is that consumers assign a high level of trust to people they believe are “just like me.” When you think about how ratings, reviews, and influencers affect their audiences — you can see the power of that belief. Now — it’s also important to not get hung up on the fact that the study involved 33,000 CONSUMERS from 27 countries. First off — that’s a huge sampling of people — and second — even if you are selling B2B — which my guess is you are — people are people…so if people put this much emphasis on trust in their personal lives…you better believe they behave the same way while at work making even larger buying decisions. But — here’s what’s interesting. Edelman’s research isn’t about celebrity influencers. Edelman is documenting the rise of the common man and woman influencer. It’s noteworthy because it gives statistical validity to the idea that real people as influencers and the impact they can have on behalf of their business. The research asked participants to rank what attributes made an influencer believable and trustworthy. The relatability of the influencer was nearly twice as important as the influencer’s popularity. In other words…when consumers see themselves in an influencer, they were far more likely to follow and trust that influencer. So — it’s not about having a million followers…it’s about being someone you can relate to and connect with. For this very reason — if you’ve been avoiding putting together a content strategy where you share your depth of expertise in your niche — I recorded this solocast just for you — so that you rethink that decision. Onward Nation — the data is all on your side. Now — let’s continue to peel back the curtain to get a look at some of the attributes of someone who is a true authority. If you were asked to think of an authority on any subject, who would come to mind? What about them designates them as an authority? What’s true about them? And what does someone have to do to earn and keep the title of authority? My co-author of Sell with Authority, Drew McLellan, CEO of Agency Management Institute, and I would argue that there are 10 Truths to someone being seen as an authority. Let’s do a quick review… Truth #1: They have a focus area or subject matter expertise. Truth #2: They don’t just repeat what everyone else is saying. Truth #3: They have a public presence where they share their expertise. Truth #4: They don’t stray from their area of expertise—think specialist versus a generalist. Truth #5: They aren’t equally attractive to everyone. In fact, they probably bore most people to tears. Truth #6: They’re significant—which is different from prolific—in terms of content creation. Truth #7: They don’t create any generic content that someone with far less knowledge or experience could have just as easily written. Truth #8: They’re perceived as an educator in some way. Truth #9: They have a passion for their subject matter. Truth #10: They have a strong point-of-view, which is the foundation of all of their content. A true authority has something specific to teach us, and they want to be helpful or illuminating. They’re eager to share what they know because they have a genuine passion for it, and they don’t fear giving away the recipe to their secret sauce (or so it’s perceived). That confidence and generosity are contagious. Their expertise is something specific groups of people (their sweet-spot prospects) are hungry to access. So Onward Nation — to call them an expert, a thought leader, an authority, a sought-after pundit, advisor, or specialist…doesn’t matter. They’re all words for the same thing — a trusted resource who has earned that trust by demonstrating and generously sharing the depth of their specialized knowledge over and over again. Now — let’s hook this back to the Edelman research for a moment. Want to know what made an influencer even more compelling to the research participants? The one attribute that ranked higher than the trust we have in “people like me” is the trust we have in highly educated experts. The only three groups of people we trust more than people like ourselves are company, industry, and academic experts. Why? Because experts are often afforded the highest level of confidence and trust because they have a depth of knowledge in a specific industry or niche. So why in the world wouldn’t you capitalize on that, Onward Nation? Instead of writing generic content that look like every single one of your competitors, which is what many agencies, coaches, and consultants do because it’s so much easier and they feel compelled to create something and don’t want to invest the time necessary to go deep, deep, deep. Or — they feel that they should be paid to share their smarts and don’t want to just give it away for free. Ouch. My hope is that as we get started in this solocast — my words are serving as a very loud battle cry for you. My hope is you see that now is the time to share your smarts and to double down on being helpful to your niche. Now is the time for you to jump into the trenches alongside your prospects and clients — who are just as concerned as you are about everything going on — and to begin giving away the best of what you’ve got — and when you do that — you will build so much trust that it will be difficult for you to contain it. There’s a huge upside for you and your team to do this now. As I said earlier — there are very few thought leaders (and even fewer in the niches you serve)…which means if you can still be one of the early adopters if you commit and boldly step out into this strategy right now. Okay — now let’s turn our attention toward Part 2…how long will this effort take — and — how do you go about doing it? Drew and I are often asked, “How long does this take?” The answer is yes. Meaning — we can’t give you a precise time frame for you because it’s different for everyone. There are many factors, including: The consistency of your content creation The quality of your content — are you saying something fresh or just repeating old news? The amount of time and effort you spend promoting your content The hunger of your audience. Some are starving and will gobble up everything you share, others will only consume the tastiest of offers But — building your authority position is clearly not a get rich quick scheme. At a minimum, you should count on it taking six months to a year before you reap any significant benefit from your efforts. By year two — you should be dancing a jig at how well it’s working. And by year three — you should be well-established as the authority you are. On occasion — a single podcast episode, video, or book will catapult someone into the spotlight and earn them a huge payout. But that’s the exception, not the rule. Don’t count on being the exception or you risk being super disappointed and it could derail all of your hard work. So — I’m going to make an assumption here…that all of the data I have shared with you during Part 1 of this solocast…as well as the 75-minute webinar that I taught several weeks ago…along with everything shared up to this point in this episode has shown you the very significant upside to you doubling down and building your authority position. If so — awesome — so let’s turn our attention toward some of the key things you will need in order to make that happen. There are three essentials to building your authority position. And they are: 1) narrow niche, 2) a strong point-of-view, and 3) being findable in multiple places. Let’s take a closer look at each. Narrow is Gold The first essential in creating an authority position is recognizing that the narrower your audience, the better. It allows you to be quickly discovered and identified as someone your target audience needs to pay attention to, all because you’re speaking their language. Ultimately, this means you can build an audience much faster. Once you’ve built the audience, and you genuinely know them and what they need, you can provide additional value by creating products and services you can sell. If you choose to keep serving everyone as a generalist, you can still absolutely monetize a more generic position of authority (say you’re a business coach, for example), but if you want to get to this more quickly, you need to be ruthless in terms of focus. I agree — it seems counter-intuitive. Most business owners focus on quantity in terms of audience. Many believe they need a massive audience to hit their sales and financial goals. But — the data shows that this isn’t true. You’re actually in a much better position if you’re in front of the right micro audience where nearly everyone is aligned with your ideal client avatar. Would you rather speak directly to 100 of your right-fit prospects…who are perfectly aligned with your ideal client avatar — or — be on stage in front of 10,000 people where there is zero probability that any of them are your prospects? And yet, when it comes to business development, most business owners toss out a huge net, hoping that the right species of fish will swim in so we don’t go hungry. Intellectually, we get it, yet our choices often suggest we’re still focusing on quantity, not quality. Here’s the reality — you don’t need a million downloads to get your podcast sponsored. You don’t need to speak at 50 conferences to have someone walk up and ask you some questions that lead to a proposal. And you don’t need to be on the bestseller list to use your book as an amazing biz dev tool. You just don’t. Most agencies, coaches, and consultants get this completely backward. They create broad, generic content as opposed to something that captures the interest of their ideal prospects. The content is fluffy and doesn’t invite anyone to ask questions or lean in to learn more. But if you were to hone in on your specific audience and ignore the rest of the world (remember, one of the traits of an authority is that most people could care less about their content), the audience does lean in. They do ask questions, and they will eventually put you on a shortlist of prospective partners to consider. And when you do it exceptionally well, you will be the only one they consider. You Need a Strong Point-of-View Here’s what we know for sure. Your industry (no matter what it is) and the world around us are both experiencing change at an unfathomable rate, and it’s only going to get faster. How you communicate nowadays, at best, is on the fly. But the one thing that will not change is that unique cocktail that defines our authority position. It’s the combination of our area of expertise with the strong point-of-view we apply to that area of expertise. Our point-of-view is what we know to be true, and it’s this truth that defines how we approach the work and how we add value. For example, Predictive ROI’s point-of-view is the most agencies, coaches, and consultants go about sales in the less productive, most painful way possible. They get thwarted by gatekeepers at every turn. As a result — they cannot build long-term relationships with their Dream prospects. When we layer that point-of-view, on top of our knowledge and expertise around how to grow an audience, nurture leads, and increase sales by helping our clients Sell with Authority, it’s easy to see how and where we can be of help. It tells us who to serve and how to best serve them. That’s evergreen. You and your team should have a similar combination. You need to have an opinion about the work you do on behalf of your clients. You need a strong point-of-view about the marketplace, your audience, or your product or service. As you fight for a prospect’s attention, you must differentiate yourself. You’ve got to plant a flag in the ground and claim ownership. You need to stand out against the sea of competitors. That authority position—your area of expertise plus your strong point-of-view—becomes the flag you plant. It’s you laying claim to what is uniquely yours—the ability to serve a specific industry, niche, audience, etc., because of what you know and what you believe. It holds you firmly in place no matter what else changes. It becomes part of your differentiation equation. And you need both halves of the whole. Without the point-of-view, even industry-specific content becomes claimable by others. Granted, it narrows the field, but there are certainly others who work in the same industry or niches that you do. If you can take your content (blog posts, white paper, podcast interviews, etc.) and swap your competitor’s logo for yours without anyone noticing, your content isn’t as unique to you as you’d like. That’s what we mean by claimable. But don’t get too finite about this. I’m not suggesting you’re going to create an authority position no one else can replicate. Odds are, no matter what your authority position, a handful of others could claim it, too. But that’s your goal—a small handful, rather than every competitor out there. Just to be clear, your point-of-view is the truth you overlay onto your niche or industry-specific expertise. It’s an insight that influences the work you do. The ideal scenario for building your authority position is one in which you have the one-two punch of a point-of-view paired with that narrow audience or topic area. That’s a powerful combination. You can carve out a more superficial authority position with just one of the two elements, either a point-of-view or niche expertise, but the consequence is, if you’re going to only include half of the one-two punch, you’re going to share your unique position with more competitors. At some level, you probably already know what you point-of-view is — but you don’t recognize it as such. Odds are, you either take it for granted because you talk about it so often, or you just need to dig a little deeper to find the gold in what you’re already teaching, talking about, and using to build the recommendations you make to clients. You just have to peel the onion back several layers to get to something that’s genuinely different enough that you can own it. You Can’t Be a One-Trick Pony Essential number three is that an authentic authority is not a one-trick pony. Meaning — you can’t create content so narrow it only works on one channel. An expert doesn’t have just one book. Or just a podcast. You can’t place all of your bets on one horse (or pony). The problem is that whatever pony you rode in on is not going to be the popular pony forever, and you can’t rely on all of your prospects consuming that specific channel. You need to be more findable, which means you need to have your authority-positioned content in more than one place. If you’re going to build an authority position — you have to answer the question, “How does my point-of-view come to life across multiple channels?” Your goal is to create the impression that you’re everywhere. The good news is that it doesn’t take that many channels to make that happen. You need a cornerstone channel and some cobblestones. When Drew and I wrote about cornerstone content in our book, Sell with Authority, what we meant was content that’s big and meaty, so it can be sliced and diced into smaller pieces of content—what we call cobblestones. The definition of cornerstone is that it is the first stone placed. If you were constructing a building, you would carefully set that first stone because you know all the other stones will be set in reference to the cornerstone. When you take that cornerstone content and break it up into infographics, quote cards, blog posts, tweets, guest appearances on someone else’s podcast, etc., that’s your cobblestone content. The combo of your niche expertise and your unique point-of-view should be woven into every piece of content you create. In some cases, it will be overt, and in other cases, subtle. But it should always be present to some degree. Some experts or influencers try to be everywhere, but that stretches them pretty thin pretty quickly. All you need are a few channels spot-on for your audience that you consistently feed with new content. You need a single cornerstone and at least two or three cobblestone channels. From there, you can use your social media channels to spotlight both. Just remember, your cornerstone is the primary channel through which you consistently deliver useful content that helps your audience do their jobs better. And it needs to be meaty enough that you can slice and dice it into multiple cobblestones. Think of the cobblestones as info-snack-sized pieces of content like a quote graphic featuring your podcast guest that someone might stumble upon and be interested in enough that they are led to your cornerstone content. New York Times best-selling author Jay Baer shared the importance of info-snacks during Episode 305 of Onward Nation. You need both cornerstone and cobblestone content. But you don’t need dozens. Cornerstones, by their nature, require a much more significant time investment. Which means you don’t have time to create too many. Far better to do one exceedingly well than to stretch yourself too thin, and better to be consistently present in a few places as opposed to occasionally showing up everywhere. And — you want to build something you can sustain for the long haul, and unless you’re going to make being an authority your full-time gig — it’s better to start with one. Your cornerstone, and at least a few of your cobblestones, need to be built on media you own and control, not on someone else’s platform. That might be your website, a book you write, research you conduct, or your own podcast series. You can use channels like Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn to highlight your efforts, but your cornerstone content shouldn’t be housed there. You don’t want to go to the effort of creating content only to have some third party (like Facebook) decide to take it down or charge people for accessing it. While you don’t want to build your cornerstone content on a media channel you don’t own, that doesn’t mean you don’t want to be on other people’s channels. If your cornerstone content is targeted and tied to your point-of-view, and you’re consistent in creating smaller pieces of content from that cornerstone, you’re going to get noticed. That’s all you need to get invited onto other people’s channels. One of the key elements about being an authority is that you don’t want everything to remain on your owned channels. You want to leverage other people’s spheres of influence, and when you appear as a guest on their show or whatever channel they own and control, now they’re endorsing you, telling other people how smart you are, and introducing you to an entirely new audience. That amplification expands your audience exponentially once you have built the foundation that earns the invites. But they will roll in, in a variety of ways. You’ll be invited to: Speak at conferences Be a guest on podcasts Write bylined articles for publications Sit on a panel of experts Serve on a board Write a regular column Teach a class Be part of a webinar series Be interviewed as a source by the media And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. On occasion, your cornerstone channel will shift. This shouldn’t be because you’re getting bored or are indecisive. It should be driven by your audience, reactions to your efforts, and potentially, media consumption trends. The content itself doesn’t shift, but how you deliver the content might. When I started executing this authority strategy for Predictive ROI, book writing was my cornerstone channel. I was creating a lot of content for publications and was being published in publications like Forbes, The Washington Post, Inc. Magazine, and other media about once a month. And much of that content was sliced and diced off of my books on search engine optimization and social media that I wrote while I was teaching at the university. But then in May 2015 — when we ran into revenue challenges at Predictive — and that pushed my team and I to launch the Onward Nation podcast as part of our pivot. And the growth of the podcast quickly eclipsed my written content and took over as our cornerstone content channel. And then we have added some cobblestones into the mix with our YouTube channel, weekly emails for our community, as well as conference presentations. And — we’ve even worked the cornerstone content process backward…with several episodes being instrumental in helping me write our bestselling book, Profitable Podcasting…and after 3-years…is still one of the best selling podcasting books on the market. For a complete breakdown on how to create cornerstone content — I encourage you to go back to my solocast in Episode 676 of Onward Nation. Okay — let’s come full circle and bring this in for a landing. Nothing about this recession has been — or will be easy. To come roaring out of it on the other side will take a lot of hard work, discipline, and generous spirit in doubling down to be helpful. But if you do — the data is on your side. If you take this time and commit to building your authority position…you will put yourself and your business in the best possible position when the sun begins to shine once again. This is the time, Onward Nation for you to grab hold of those silver linings — they are there — if you’re willing to look hard enough. Thanks for taking the time to be here and for sharing a portion of your 86,400 you have today…with me. I’m grateful and I look forward to you being back for our next episode. Until then — double down — and onward with gusto!

Stay tuned to hear Drew discuss gratitude and how to avoid the keto flu.   [04:00] About Drew Manning Drew had never been overweight in his life. He couldn’t understand his clients – they wouldn’t go to the gym and wouldn’t eat healthily. Drew decided to gain weight to understand his clients better. At first, gaining weight was fun. Cereal and soda taste amazing. The first few months were easy. Then, it shifted. Going up the stairs was difficult, and he started snoring. Plus, Drew was greatly affected mentally and emotionally. He didn’t know who he was when he was out of shape. It opened his eyes, and helped him find his meaning. When Drew switched back to eating healthy foods, he felt miserable. Drew suffered from headaches, a severe lack of energy, and mood swings.   [12:15] The Fit2Fat2Fit Movement In 2011, Drew started with zero connections. A fitness blogger posted his story, and Yahoo picked it up. Drew’s website crashed because all sorts of TV shows were trying to get ahold of him. Eight years later, Drew is still talking about his story and has two seasons of his TV show.   [16:10] Why Drew Chose the Ketogenic Lifestyle Drew likes to do experiments on his body. He found out there were all sorts of scientific research on the ketogenic diet. Drew did a sixty-day experiment on himself. He didn’t lose any weight, fat, or muscle, but he felt amazing. Drew went from eating six meals a day to eating two meals a day. His brain has never felt so mentally clear. Plus, his digestion is better. No longer did Drew feel like he was a slave to food.   [21:15] The Difference Between Clean and Dirty Keto   When Drew first started the ketogenic lifestyle, he simply cut carbs. It was an uneducated form of keto. There are different levels of keto. You can keep taking amazing steps – Drew is always changing, evolving, and upgrading. Drew uses a whole foods approach. In America, there are convenient keto options, even though they are not the cleanest ingredients. Dirty keto has evolved and become more popular. Drew suggests people stop eating nuts and dairy if they are still feeling inflamed. “Just because you are in ketosis, doesn’t mean you’re healthier.” -Drew Manning   [28:45] Following Keto Without a Gallbladder   People without a gallbladder have a hard time digesting fats in a keto diet. Drew found an enzyme that will assist most people with their digestion. Gallbladder removal is the number one surgery in the United States.   [30:00] The Difference Between Burning Sugar and Burning Fat Most people are sugar burners because they have cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, and pasta for dinner. When you eat fewer carbs, your body will retain less water. When you retain less water, you miss out on essential minerals. Therefore, when you transition to the keto diet, you will experience the keto flu because of an imbalance of electrolytes. When Drew says electrolytes, he does not mean Gatorade! Drew tells people to take sodium, magnesium, and potassium. Plus, you need to be drinking a lot more water.   [32:50] The Habit of Practicing Gratitude “Anytime you hit rock bottom, you become a better version of yourself.” -Drew Manning People overlook the importance of overcoming mental challenges to make keto a lifestyle change. Gratitude is a daily task that Drew asks people to do. If you write three things that you are grateful for, then throughout the day, you will look at situations in your life differently. Complete Keto is about a complete transformation rather than just a physical transformation.   [40:55] Drinking Keto Coffee Drew’s favorite keto product is keto coffee. He uses MCT oil powder and his salted caramel keto meal replacement with collagen. Drew uses Purity Coffee for his beans.   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Drew’s Website Follow Drew Manning Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Read Complete Keto Listen to the Fit2Fat2Fit Experience Check out Dominic D’Agostino Watch Drew Manning on Dr. Oz Join the CK30 Keto Challenge Join the Keto Kamp Academy  WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube    Disclaimer: This podcast is for information purposes only.

Drew Garabo is one of the smartest & best broadcasters I've ever listened to as well a Florida radio legend. His life and mine have been intertwined for over 20 years, and sadly I almost went to jail because of the time I brutally assaulted him. We go into great detail on what happened that St Patrick's Day, as well as the insane after math. But overall this is a story of forgiveness, growth and friendship that I think will be extremely powerful for anyone dealing with any of those issues. I think it is my best podcast to date. I really hope you enjoy it. * The entire history of our friendship, how it started and why it went bad.*The entire history of my brutal assault on Drew that was witnessed by Thousands of people in downtown Orlando. *Why I attacked Drew that night?*Why Drew feels he deserved a check like that in life.*What the jail experience was like for me.*What the hospital experience was like for Drew.*Drew had a burning question that he had never asked me that he was able to do during this conversation. *The insane courtroom experience that felt straight out of a movie. * Drew- "Forgiveness without action is manipulation." - brilliant quote that he elaborates on.*How Drew feels coming back to the Iheart studios 14 years later.*When Drew gave up believing in himself and why. *The thing that I think Drew is meant to do in life.

Mike Donnelly is a local legend and that is not an overstatement. Mike first arrived on the Houston Lacrosse scene in 1981 when he started playing competative men's club lacrosse. He played competative mens lacrosse for the next 16 years in Houston. Mike is still playing lacrosse now. His passion for the game of lacrosse and his enjoyment of teaching naturally lead him to a career in coaching. I believe he is the only high school coach in Texas to lead both a girls varsity team and a boys varsity team to the state semi-finals. Mike is currently the Boys Head Coach at Episcopal High School in Texas. Mike's passion for our sport is infectious. If you spend any time at all with him it will rub off on you. A few words from Mike Donnelly: I failed to mention and would like to add, Drew Webb (Cornell), Jim Weiss (Princeton), Travis Bryan (Syracuse), Steven Gibbs (Dartmouth) were the early recruits from Texas and still arguably the best. When Drew lost his battle with depression Dr. David Lintner (Cornell great defensive man and current local pro teams doctor ) and his wife Katie founded the 7s for 7 tournament to raise money to help fight depression. David and Katie have inspired so many and raised so much money over the last decade for this cause. Drew’s former teammates, USA TEAM members and so many players of all ages have participated each January.

Also, August has the worst name of all the months and it's a reminder that summer is almost over. When Drew was kid he hated the month because it reminded him that school was nearing and soon would be in a hot classroom. This month the August rain ruins a good car wash for both Drew and Pablo. The weather is changing, the season are somewhat delayed to the point that the 4th of July felt like spring. Drew thinks it is poetic justice that those areas of the country are getting worst weather. Drew brings in a sample of the viral sensation known as the Miracle Berry which is technically called the Ledidi Berry and challenges Pablo to eat lemons without any added sugar. Pablo tries and think he is eating lemonade! The great thing about the effect of the berries is that you can have a sweet treats without causing any insulin responses while injecting minimal calories.

This week a US judge sentenced Mexican drug kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán to life in prison plus 30 years. The trial is significant because El Chapo achieved notoriety for twice escaping custody in Mexico as well as avoiding arrest on numerous other occasions. One of these arrests was in 2014 and was the culmination of years of work by an American drug enforcement agent called Drew Hogan. When Drew started searching for the world's most wanted drug lord, he wasn't aware how consumed he would become with the hunt. From organising undercover money laundering operations to camping out in the kingpin's house in Mexico, Drew was about to embark on an extraordinary quest.

093 | Drew Harrington Shares Why You Need to Perfect Your Pitch Yasso Co-founder and Co-CEO, Drew Harrington, 32, was a D1 collegiate athlete who attended American University as well as Northeastern University. After recognizing a gap in the better-for-you dessert space, he and his childhood best friend Amanda Klane co-founded Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt in 2010 after attending Penn State’s Ice Cream Camp. As the creative visionary behind the brand, Drew primarily spearheads the development of engaging strategy and marketing initiatives for the brand’s newest and upcoming innovations. In 2011, Yasso released the world’s first frozen Greek yogurt bar on shelves in three fruit flavors. After doing market research, it showed consumers wanted more indulgent-tasting flavors reminiscent of nostalgic ice cream shop scoops. How well do you know your pitch? Is it deep inside of you? Has it become a part of you? Here’s the thing: you should practice your pitch so much that it becomes a part of you. Before Drew appeared on the show, Million Dollar Idea, he practiced his pitch in front of the mirror. He made his pitch a part of himself. When Drew gave his pitch to a manufacturer to get buy-in to use their equipment to produce the first round of Yasso, he knew his pitch. It was authentic and part of who he was, and that landed him the manufacturing time that was required to get Yasso off the ground - and then, started Yasso. Before I pitched on Shark Tank, I had Shark Tank parties, and I would practice my pitch in front of my friends and investors. I made my pitch part of me, so that when it was time to present to the Sharks, I was ready. My guest on this week’s Success Unfiltered, Drew Harrington had one last chance to make his dream happen - it all came down to one perfect opportunity! In this episode, Drew Harrington shares his story about his education through the school of “experience,” and how he turned an idea into a successful ice cream company, now serving more than 17,000 retail locations. If you’re ready to get inspired about having your pitch be a part of you, and what happens when you achieve that, then this episode is a MUST LISTEN episode of Success Unfiltered!

Drew dropped out of college, and got an office job. Drew got the idea for Pool Pong, an inflatable beer pong table. It was a Million Dollar Idea - literally!

It took two years before Drew and Amanda were able to make their big pitch and the company took off! It was their last chance to pitch their greek yogurt ice cream product - and it landed because someone took a chance on Drew’s pitch.

In today’s episode, I talk with leadership author, speaker, and entrepreneur Drew Dudley. Drew inspires us to appreciate leadership in all forms and rewire the way we think of what it truly means to be a leader. He shares some practical tips on how to discover the leader within ourselves, the power in recognizing leadership in ways that may not be traditional, his famous lollipop story from his viral TED talk, and the low down on why Canadians are so polite. Drew’s brand new book, This is Day One: A Practical Guide to Leadership That Matters just came out last week. Key Takeaways: [4:14] Drew fell into his current path by accident. He recounts his time and takeaways from Cystic Fibrosis Canada and a role at Leadership Development at the University of Toronto. He loved mobilizing the college students and translating corporate and business speak into a youthful language. [6:26] Often in leadership, the terms “accessible, practical, and simple” can be seen as pejorative. Drew feels that precisely the opposite is true. Leadership should be open to all, streamlined and tangible. One of the reasons he wrote This is Day One, is to meet people exactly where they are in leadership. We no longer should be intimidated by the term leader, and don’t have to wait for a title or paycheck to validate how little or much we matter. [10:24] We are surrounded by leaders every day. Most of the leadership on this planet comes from people that don’t see themselves as leaders and Drew traces it back to education and socialization. It’s hard to feel like a leader when it feels like your validation comes from outside other than yourself. [15:54] Education should provide a safety net for making mistakes and failing. When the youth starts out as “perfect” with points taken away for what is viewed as a failure, it takes away key characteristics such as courage and resilience. [19:55] Most of us feel like imposters from time to time, but the brave ones acknowledge it and talk about it to empower those around us. [21:49] When Drew works with leaders of all forms, the Top 3 values that usually come up are integrity, honesty, and respect. He works with folks get crystal-clear on those values, prioritize them, and give credit for exemplifying them throughout their day. [25:18] There is a strong distinction between real leaders and catalysts for harm. Real leaders expand the capacity for others and remove fear in order to succeed and expand. Catalysts for harm add fear in order to win for themselves or just their select and chosen group. [31:28] We explore the idea of management as a business skill and leadership as a human skill. [34:26] We talk some cross-border leadership, and Drew encourages us to love Canada from afar. [36:13] It’s important to show people that they matter and have the ability to impact the world. When we feel as though we don’t matter, that breeds helplessness and fear, which turns into anger and hatred. [37:16] Drew shares how to start living Day One as a leader, and to turn core values into actionable demonstrations. Pick a value, define clearly what it means by asking yourself the phrase “this value is a commitment to _____?”, create a question you can’t answer without living it, and then recognize when you or those around you embody it.

Drew Glick's works range from fantasy, self-help and motivational. For over a decade Drew worked in many facets of the entertainment industry but found that his true passion lies with video editing and red carpet photography and videography. From 2015-2017 Drew covered an array of A-List red carpet events, film premieres and Galas featuring celebrities such as Johnny Deep, Amber Heard, John Travolta, Jack Black, Dolly Parton, Kevin Sorbo and others.

Shasta near the small town of Weed, CA where he is now developing the land into a private animal rescue which will be called, The SGG Animal Rescue. The rescue is scheduled to open in late 2020/21. When Drew isn't out "saving the world" he takes time away from the Hollywood lifestyle by working as a local driver drivinf big "rigs" for Amazon Fresh, MacDonalds, Walmart, Target and Sams Club. Doing so gives him the solitude he needs to refresh his mind and stay grounded in reality. With all his endeavours Drew remains steadfast and in March 2018 he formed SGG Media. His new media company is focused primarily on red carpet events from galas, film premieres, press conferences and award ceremonies. Though, Drew has stepped away from his days on the red carpet he did, however hire a full time host and camera operator to cover the events - all he does it edit them.

From 2007: I have enjoyed the illustrations of Drew Friedman for many, many years. He has going for him what many artists can only dream of – a distinctive style and, if you will, a voice that sets his work apart. Depending upon your age and interests, you’ve no doubt seen Friedman’s work somewhere, including the National Lampoon, Spy, and the New York Observer. When Drew draws a satirical picture, it always screams with attitude. There is no subtlety involved.

It's a tradition that has remained in the hands of the family for generations. Willett Distillery is one of the most recognized brands for bourbon enthusiasts and has accumulated a cult status.

Even, was there a moment where you saw Britt in action and said she's got skills? Britt, is there a story behind you always wearing boots? Even, did you train Drew?

All the big brands were bailing out on bourbon, what was that time like? When did you come out with your small batch series? Did you ever travel to Russia in the 90s? Did you ever have trust issues with distributors there? Britt, what was it like as a kid watching your dad living around whiskey? Let's drink the wheated bourbon now. Entry Proof at 115 When Drew brings you something, do you ever turn it away and tell him its bad? You were also bottling stuff for a lot of other people back in the day. Can you talk about that? You had to acquire bourbon from other distilleries, what sort of other whiskey were you looking for? Was there is an age limit of something you wouldn't buy? Would your early batches include barrels from lots of different distilleries? What's your sweet spot for an aged bourbon? Lets taste the 6 year old Rye now, 51% Rye, 34% Corn, 15% barley, Barrel entry proof is 125, but now goes in at 110. Dipping back into the great barrels coming out during the early 2000s, how does this new stuff rank? We talked about the 80s and 90s, but Willett becomes really popular in the late 2000s. There are a lot of fans. Have you ever been a part of the fandom? How many times have you been asked to get bought out? Bill Thomas from Jack Rose has been a big supporter of Willett. Talk about the Willett 80th anniversary. It's the original Willett mashbill, 72% Corn, 13% Rye, 15% Barley and this one is bottled in bond There aren't many bad things to be said about your whiskey. Do you think it's harder to stay on top? Are there any other mashbills or barrel finishes you are working on?

However, Eric Eden, expert CMO of Receipt Bank, claimed that marketing should be a company’s main revenue generator, bringing in 80% of all sales. This uncommon point of view is explained and detailed on this episode of Renegade Thinkers Unite. Eric and Drew talk through the first two main steps of how to turn your marketing efforts into a revenue machine. They discuss the importance of having a solid foundation marketing technology stack, all of the details behind why evidence-based marketing is the norm, and how to secure a substantial marketing budget for your team. Don’t miss part two of this interview on the next episode of Renegade Thinkers Unite. You’ll learn a lot from part one of this conversation, so give it your full attention. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts - Stitcher- or Podsearch What You’ll Learn [0:29] Drew introduces his guest for this episode, Eric Eden [3:05] How to lay the foundation for marketing to become a revenue generator [6:00] Why the burden of proof for success lies with the marketer [8:27] What exactly is evidence-based marketing, and how do you define your strategy? [13:57] Eric walks through his process for securing a substantial marketing budget [22:02] The essentials for your company’s tech stack and additional layers to consider [28:22] What’s the next step after creating a solid CRM piece? [33:39] Why isn’t it more common to combine the first two layers of your marketing stack? Why a CRM is a foundational basis needed for any successful marketing or revenue-generating campaign Eric explains on this episode of Renegade Thinkers Unite that without a functional and clean customer relationship management technology piece, your marketing will never turn into a revenue generator. He continues by saying that, “If you don’t have a good marketing technology stack that enables your demand generation engine, everything falls apart.” A solid CRM piece allows you to track leads, understand what is encouraging or hindering contract success, improves integration between marketing and sales teams, and is necessary when putting together a budget proposal. If a CMO is looking at upgrading a single piece of their marketing strategy, having a bombproof CRM platform needs to be at the top of the list. To hear why CRM technology is so critical, and to understand why Eric is so adamant about this piece of technology, be sure to give this episode a listen. The importance of understanding evidence-based marketing to secure a substantial budget Gone are the days where the phrase, “it’s complicated, just trust me!” can be successful in budget meetings with company executives. In order to secure the funds marketing teams need, CMOs need to understand how to articulate their marketing in in terms of data and evidence of success. The burden of proof lies with the CMO to persuade others why marketing as a revenue generator can work for the company. You have to determine how to frame things in such a way that makes people comfortable with spending dollars on marketing, build a common language that all teams and levels of employees understand, and prevent any misconceptions. Once you have set the stage and brought people over to your side of the budget debate, you can then begin to determine what percentage of the budget should be spent on each potential customer, and the ROI that would come from each prospective contract. This framing turns marketing into an investment, not a cost, and is the key to massive success. To hear Drew and Eric’s conversation surrounding evidence-based marketing and how it can ultimately be used to generate revenue, don’t miss this episode. Transform your ordinary marketing campaigns into a massive revenue generator through automation After a functional CRM piece, the next step to generate revenue is marketing automation - the second most popular piece of a technology stack. Eric urges listeners of this episode of Renegade Thinkers Unite to understand that automation cannot and does not happen overnight, or even within 90 days. A truly successful marketing automation plan can take upwards of 6 months to design and implement. But the time investment is 100% worth it. By hiring talented sales people and allowing them to actually sell your company, without getting bogged down by monotonous tasks, you are ultimately generating more revenue for the company. Automation allows more integration between the marketing and sales teams and setting the correct timeline expectations upfront will prevent mishaps later on down the line. Drew and Eric have a great conversation about marketing automation and the connections it has to revenue generation on this episode, CMOs in every industry need to hear it.

Pushing Harder Does Not Help Nursing Burnout A challenge many of us as nurses face is the workaholic syndrome. In fact, I talk about this in my book and presentation, “Stop Nurse Burnout”. Being a workaholic as a nurse is a bit unique than any other profession. I will use my husband, Drew, as an example here. Drew is a heating and air-conditioning technician. He drives a big van, uses a lot of tools all day, and works with his hands. When Drew comes to the dinner table with me at the end of the work day, does he bring his hammer, level, or drill? Of course not! But as a nurse, this may or may not be the case. We teach patients using our voice. We turn, lift, clean, and fix with our hands. We empathize, advocate for, and care with our hearts. And- when you are a nurse, are you ever really “off”? Your family hears that you have graduated from nursing school. After the initial “congratulations” and celebrations wear off… then what comes next? The constant phone calls, texts, or emails saying, “Hey, you’re a nurse right? What do you think this is…” People can always count on a nurse! It is as if our workday never ends. We care for patients, our own families, and our greater communities at large. But if you are reading this and feeling the stresses of nursing burnout… and you think that putting the nose down and working harder will just help you push through… you are sadly mistaken, my friend. Working harder, pushing through, or simply ignoring how you are feeling and hoping that it will go away will not work out. Burnout will eventually consume all of your life. You may become physically ill or emotionally stressed. Work will no longer be fun and just getting yourself there will require every bit of energy in your body. There is no working through nurse burnout. Choosing Burnout Over and Over The other struggle we face as nurses is the insanity definition stated above. In fact, here’s a real-life example of this. As a keynote speaker, I get the honor of giving talks to nurses and nursing students across the country. This past year was no different than any other- only that I presented more talks than ever before! After a talk in Oklahoma, I was contacted by a nursing student in the audience. We got on the phone for a quick chat so that I could answer her questions and give her more guidance than was able to during a 60 minute audience-style presentation. One of her questions was spot on. She asked me, “Do you ever get people who ask you about how to eliminate their stress? And what do you do when they don’t follow up? I mean, how does that make you feel? How do you go on with what you are doing??” This nursing student is wise beyond her years! This happens to me- a LOT. After getting off of the stage at a talk in Indiana, a nurse came up to purchase Nursing from Within. She said, “What do you do when you do not want to do nursing anymore?” Since that question could take TONS of time to sort through and answer- I encouraged the nurse to email me and we could set up a time to talk by phone. She never did. As stated above to the nursing student asking me questions- this kind of thing happens often. Nurses tell me how unhappy they are, however for some reason, are unable to make lasting change. One thing I have noticed- even in my own life- is that as human beings we prefer the comfort of the known. And the comfort of being comfortable. So, even if a nurse is experiencing nursing burnout, sometimes making a change is harder, more difficult, scarier, overwhelming, and any of the above than not making the change. The not making the change is known. We are used to it. It is familiar to us. If you are experiencing nursing burnout, and you REALLY, really want to see different results— then it is TIME to take action. Different action. New action. Action that you are even a bit afraid of.

You know what they always say...When Drew is away... Adam and Zack will talk about anime!Enjoy a special mini episode as we take a break from the hustle and bustle of our usual schedule to talk about the important things...

The Oregon Brewery Running Series is about three things: Getting Active, Having Fun, and Giving Back. Our name may lead you to believe it's all about beer and running, but that's just how we accomplish it. We get people active by hosting 5K fun runs that start and end at great breweries. These are family-friendly events where people can run as fast or as slow as they want. It doesn't matter, partially because it's not timed, but also because the idea is just to get your body moving. A lot of good comes from that. The second thing, having fun, also doesn't need an explanation. Yes, our runs involved craft beer from some of the best breweries in Oregon and now Southwest Washington, but the fun doesn't simply come from what's in your pint glass. There's something inherently enjoyable about getting together with like-minded people. Runners and craft beer enthusiasts are some of the nicest folks you'll meet. The runners high is real, and we have a blast celebrating the accomplishment of finishing a 3.1 mile run by pairing good beer with great people. The third thing, giving back, is less obvious, but no less important to us. When Drew and I started this in the summer of 2016, it was important to us that we partner with non-profit organizations doing good in and for our community. We wanted to help, to give back to the great communities we live in. Currently, 10% of our proceeds go to help the work of The Oregon Brewshed Alliance through Oregon Wild, and also the Portland Parks Foundation, the fundraising arm of the incredible Portland Park and Rec department. We're proud to announce a third non-profit partner. Life Vest Inside is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that inspires, empowers and educates people of all backgrounds to lead a life of kindness. Today on the Oregon Brewery Running Series podcast, you'll get to hear my conversation with Jason Hattrick, a local volunteer for Live Vest. He's also a Kindness Ambassador and a Dance for Kindness Group Leader. We talk about the movement that is Life Vest Inside, what exactly Kindness is, why all of us need more of it in our lives, and a few tips for quickly showing the next person you see a random act of kindness. We'd love to invite you to one of our next 5K fun runs that start and end at great breweries in Oregon and now a few in Southwest Washington. November 4 we'll be at the Hopworks location in Vancouver, and next week, November 11, we'll be in Tualatin at Stickmen Brewing. Use promo code LVI5, for Life Vest Inside to save $5 on your entry.

First, a story of successful American manufacturing. Drew Greenblatt, President of Marlin Steel Wire Products, joins host Dave Robertson to discuss the transformation his business underwent to survive in the competitive manufacturing space. When Drew bought the business it was a Brooklyn-based company responsible for making the baskets you might find in a bagel shop. He took that business and completely re-imagined it to become an innovative small manufacturer. In the second half of the program Dave talks to David Sax, author of "The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter," who explains why he believes the tangible is here to stay.

A little about our guests. Both Cristina and Drew are lovers of all things outdoors and adventurous. Which is great since that is what their business is all about. Cristina loves working with children and animals and was a teacher for a number of years. She also enjoys photography and traveling to new, fun places. Drew grew up with entrepreneurial parents and has been surrounded by couples in business and in love. His dad was his sports inspiration and his mom was his outdoors inspiration. His parents also instilled a deep faith in him as well as the importance of living a balanced life. When Drew met Cristina and figured out she might be the one, finding out she enjoyed travel and the outdoors sealed the deal. They hope to start a family in the future (although they won’t say how long we have to wait!) Right now, they enjoy building their business, traveling and fixing up the new house they bought and making it into a home. A little about their business. Drew started out working with Jackson Kayak. He is a part owner and designer of fishing kayaks. From there he created the TV show “Hooked on Wild Waters” and started a kayak fishing tournament trail company called “River Bassin Tournament Trail.” Both companies fall under the umbrella of Deep Creek Ventures. When Drew and Cristina met and started talking about marriage, Drew asked Cristina if she could see herself quitting her teaching position to travel and work with Drew to be part of Deep Creek Ventures. Cristina said YES to both and a third YES to the marriage proposal. One piece of advice (the nutshell version) Skill sets should determine who does what in the business. You always need to be learning, adapting and changing. Reading Material Since Drew and Cristina are newlyweds, they are reading tons of marriage books.

Drew and Tim Ballard met at their mutual workout club in Utah. When Drew found out what Tim did for a living, he and Heidi started contributing to Operation Underground Railroad.

Drew Olanoff, the Twitter user who started the #blamedrewscancer campaign after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma earlier this year, made a successful proposal of marriage to his girlfriend Sarah Cooley on Twitter today ( here's her "yes" ). We later confirmed the story with Drew over IM. Of course, he "blamed Drew's cancer" for the proposal, as the Tweets below attest. #blamedrewscancer is a Twitter movement that aims to raise money for charity by adding the hashtag to your Tweets, as the site explains :. Blame Drew's Cancer for anything you want by tweeting with the hashtag #BlameDrewsCancer and it'll come here. When Drew beats cancer we hope to have sponsors that will donate a dollar for every participant to our brand new partner, LIVESTRONG. Congratulations to Drew and Sarah on their engagement.
