Ep 163 of American Sex podcast is jampacked with so many practical tips and insights for new & experienced kinksters alike! When Erik got into kink less than a year ago, he didn't realize how profoundly it would change his life both inside and outside the bedroom. Joined by his partner & mentor Catie, Erik walks us through his transformative journey of self-discovery. We discuss strategies for negotiating your first scene when you don't know how kink tools feel or what experiencing a scene is like. Erik tells us about his unexpected feeling of mourning and how to handle expectations that don't match up with reality, how Erik & Catie dealt with the common phenomenon known as frenzy, navigating kink with ADHD, and how it can help align your body and mind. We also get into switching and the similarities and differences between subspace, domspace, and their respective drops. This is a must-listen for those curious about or into kink.    ____________________________________ --Submit your BDSM & sex advice questions by email to americansexpodcast@gmail.com --To support American Sex podcast, please visit patreon.com/americansex (plus you'll get all episodes early, secret episodes, bonus stories from guests, on-air shout-outs, stuff in the mail & more!) --Get friendly with us on Twitter at @AmericanSexPod or visit sunnymegatron.com or americansexpodcast.com --Join our mailing list by visiting http://sunnymegatron.com/newsletter               Sunny & Ken, xo! ____________________________________  Episode 163 Links  Catie Osborn TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@catieosaurus Catie Osborn Youtube http://youtube.com/catieadhd Catie Osborn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catieosaurus/ Catie Osborn Twitter https://twitter.com/CatieOsaurus Catie Osborn Patreon http://patreon.com/catieadhd Erik Gude Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@heygude Erik Gude Instagram https://www.instagram.com/heygude/ Erik Gude Twitter https://twitter.com/erikgude Infinite Quest Twitter https://twitter.com/Catieanderik Sunny's guest  episode of Infinite Quest Podcast about Consent & ADHD https://open.spotify.com/episode/6WrcQ08sXegqASVAraCwcQ Ken's charity DnD game Monday's 4pm-7pm PT https://www.twitch.tv/thunderpantsacademy Los Angeles Kink Pride 6/4-13.

Empathetic. These are just a handful of the things Erik strives to be. Erik serves as CEO and ‘coach' of Hatch Realty.

When Erik was a young software developer, there were a couple of times where he told one of his senior programming colleagues that he figured something out or that something should work differently than the way he thought it is supposed to work. That colleague's response every time he suggests something made Erik resent him but later he gleaned some lessons from the experience. Know what the lesson is in today's episode. — Erik J.

Have you ever considered a fun alternative to traditional farming? Fungi, that is! Joining us today on the Thriving Farmer Podcast is the founder of Maine Cap N’ Stem, Erik Lomen. Maine Cap N’ Stem started in 2014, cultivating a variety of gourmet mushrooms from spore to store below the streets of Portland Maine. Within a year, their fresh mushroom production expanded from less than 200 sq ft to a 3,000 sq ft facility in Westbrook, Maine. In 2016, Maine Cap N’ Stem decided to drop out of the fresh mushroom market altogether and work directly with farms all across the country to supply their growing mushroom demand with ready-to-fruit substrate. Tune in to learn all about how Erik built his mycological empire and how he runs it today!   You’ll hear: About Erik’s first experience with mushrooms 0:49 When Erik started selling mushrooms 2:57 What his sales outlets were in the beginning 4:50 What building the spawn line entailed 12:14 How Erik goes about marketing 24:12 The three things new mushroom farmers need to know 38:19 What a more advanced mushroom grower could do to take their business to the next level 42:05 What the hiring process is like at Maine Cap N’ Stem 45:28 How Erik manages time on the farm 51:42 What advice Erik has for new farmers 54:35   About the Guest:Erik Lomen is an owner operator at Maine Cap N’ Stem, a certified organic supplier of commercial grade ready-to-fruit substrate and spawn.Maine Cap N’ Stem started in 2014, cultivating a variety of gourmet mushrooms from spore to store below the streets of Portland, Maine. Within a year, their fresh mushroom production expanded from less than 200 sq ft to a 3,000 sq ft facility in Westbrook, Maine. Between 2015 and 2016 the decentralized micro mushroom industry began exploding all across the country and at the time it was integral for each of these small farms to develop their own cultures, spawn, and fruiting substrate to grow fresh mushrooms and supply a self built distribution system for sales to farmers markets, restaurants, and wholesalers. In 2016, Maine Cap N’ Stem decided to drop out of the fresh mushroom market altogether and work directly with these farms all across the country to supply their growing mushroom demand with ready-to-fruit substrate. This transition set a business pivot into motion as they became the first national producer and distributor of Certified Organic Mushroom Substrate for small and large farms across the continental USA. In 2016 we moved to our current 20,000+ sq ft facility in Gardiner, Maine and began producing and supplying farms from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon with an easier scalable option to grow by skipping the intensive lab work to produce their own spawn and substrate and simply focus on fruiting and selling fresh mushrooms. Within the last 5 years they have proven the model to work and continue to support the growth and development of fresh mushroom farms around the states.  From 2019 to 2020 Maine Cap N’ Stem developed a state of the art spawn production facility and expanded their offerings from simply substrate to spawn and culture products as well as “combination substrate pellets” for farms to forward integrate and scale up into their own substrate production for a balance of options and supply chain diversification allowing a higher level of control for each farm’s independent focus. With each year that passes as we continue to grow, innovate, and develop, our goal remains the same: Help independent farms sustainably grow to supply the massive demand for fresh mushrooms across all market platforms!Resources:Website - https://capnstem.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mainecapnstemco/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mainecapnstemco/

If you had asked the high school version of Erik what he would be doing for a career, you would have heard something like a rock star or studio producer. In college, Erik studied music with the intention of becoming an educator and following in his parents’ footsteps. His predilection for technology won the career battle though, and he moved on to start Focus Lab. Transitioning from musician to developer, to entrepreneur, Erik has a variety of interests these days. What ties them all together, though, is a hunger to learn how and why things work. When Erik isn’t at work, he’s probably chillin’ with his kids, his wife, his church, or a combination of the three. He's also enjoying the beginnings of a hobby in woodworking. If he’s not doing those things, there’s a really good chance he’s enjoying peace and quiet somewhere. CONNECT WITH ERIK REAGAN:Follow Erik Reagan on TwitterConnect with Erik Reagan on LinkedInUpdate your mental models by reading Erik Reagan's blog.GET COACHING FROM ERIK REAGAN:For agency own­ers and young entre­pre­neurs who are tired of try­ing to get to the next lev­el alone, sign up to get mentorship from Erik.

As you progress in anything, you get better. You'll see big gains but eventually, you'll plateau off. At that point, you need to change what you're doing in order to keep growing and reach the next plateau. When Erik posted this on Twitter, he received this reply: “Insanity is thinking that what got you there would eventually get you out.” No matter where you are on the Valley of Death, if you want to move, you have to change your systems, your thought patterns, and the way you're doing things. — Erik J.

Something many leaders can relate to is a feeling of being emotionally, spiritually, and physically drained by the pursuit of success, but we don’t need to reach that level of exhaustion. If we surround ourselves with the right people and stop trying to do it on our own, we can build booming businesses without sacrificing our personal wellbeing. Working with the kind of talent who share our goals and values is the key to sustainable success. That being said, finding and retaining them is often easier said than done. What are top producers looking for in leaders, and what can we do to meet their needs? How can we hang on to our agents and help them grow alongside us?  In this episode, Founder of Hatch Realty, Erik Hatch shares how building a ‘teamerage’ helped him cut his weekly work hours in half, all while growing his business to astronomical heights.    Three Things We Learned From This Episode Why the people in our organizations make all the difference: It’s easier to build a business when our teams are filled with trustworthy, honest individuals who want to succeed as much as we do. These are the people who will stay by our side, even when we make a wrong move.  How to retain the right people: No top agent wants to hit a glass ceiling, so remove anything that could hamper their growth. Be open to discussions about rewards and benefits, and agree to adjusted commission splits on the proviso that they reach a goal that ensures everyone wins.  The importance of meritocracy in our teams: Allowing some agents to progress to a new career path and denying it to others creates a breeding ground for resentment. Keep everyone happy by ensuring everyone has to earn their place and the benefits that come with it.    Guest Bio: Erik Hatch is an entrepreneur, public speaker, Realtor, author, coach, investor, do-gooder, husband, father, and mediocre golfer.

When Erik was in navy contracting, he had a 2-man navy contracting company named Syntactical where they did software development for the navy. Erik came up with the name, reserved the domain, and named their company. He quickly realized that no one knew how to spell the word syntactical which is crucial for a business name. They ended up shutting down the company after 4 years. The lesson learned here was to pick a name for your company that you can communicate easily to people. When you say it, they need to be able to recognize it and be able to spell it in their head. Pick a name that's VERY simple; the simpler, the better. — Erik J.

Straight out of college Erik started his career as a civil engineer. He got an idea for a software project so he started doing that on nights and weekends. Eventually freelancing in software development turned into a full-time job which later required hiring help. When Erik and Kevin got together to form Array Digital it was with the intention of offering digital marketing in addition to creating web and mobile apps. Digital marketing is not something Erik really understood so he decided to spend an entire year learning everything he could about it. He read books, blogs, listened to podcasts, and absorbed everything he could on the subject. Together with Kevin, and Jake, who we had hired to be our digital marketing specialist, Erik learned the value of digital marketing, and that was enough to turn the company around to focus on just that. — Erik J.

Erik continues his conversation with Neal Bookspan, an attorney out of Phoenix. Today, he had some great insight on the kind of clients his business services and how it's changed as the business has matured. When Erik first started in business, he would take business from anyone; it didn't matter what industry they were in. That lasted for about 6-12 months then he got pickier and more recently, the company has gotten even more definitive with who we'll work with. Why? As a business owner, you learn you will work well with certain industries and clients and not so well with others. You want to focus on what you're good at. — Erik J.

Dr. Erik Davis is an American writer, scholar, journalist and public speaker whose writings have ranged from rock criticism to cultural analysis to creative explorations of mysticism. Few people are able to talk about the spirituality with a precision and accuracy born of a commitment to always remain open to the Mystery.

The Chrises go full steam ahead and ride the waves with Art Ambassador, Erik Abel. A lifelong surfer, Erik finds inspiration from his happy place—the ocean—and from animals. The Wave Doodler uses painting as a way to escape reality and lucky enough for him, people continue to purchase his prints and originals to bring a little piece of the sea and nature into their homes. When Erik is not busy teaming up with the Community Cause of the Week, Save The Waves Coalition, to design compostable phone cases and other wonderful pieces of art, he's exploring his artistic freedom with his not-so-secret identity, Abstract Pursuits. Inspired by Erik's artistic alter ego, Ryan gets feedback on his “pothead”, and The Chrises receive a face painting lesson. The Art Entrepreneur also delves into business ideas with The Chrises including: Bourbon & Bread (a new chic restaurant), abstract toilet paper art, bearded portraits, and paint by numbers. Before Erik leaves to teach his kids about the lost art of sliced bread ball making, he drops the cheat code for all artists.

When Erik was 20 years old he was in a car accident that changed his life. His girlfriend ended up dying in the accident and he suffered a major concussion. Throughout the next 2 years Erik developed Post Traumatic Stress and went through many dark times. Then he saw a "Time Magazine" article that claimed the best natural stress reliever was mindfulness meditation. Learning to develop a resilience skills practice he learned to regulate and control his thoughts and emotions. This could allow him to influence his physiology and change his relationship with himself, others and life. Erik ended up being able to shift his PTSD into Post Traumatic Growth. There is amazing power within each of us, and learning to cultivate the power of resilience can move many of us through obstacles and challenges Erik obtained a graduate degree in Performance Psychology from the University of Denver in 2010 and is a qualified mind-body medicine teacher from University of Massachusetts Medical School. For 6 years he worked as a consultant for the military, teaching resilience training and designing mental training programs for soldiers to create high-performing teams. This work includes leadership development with high-ranking leaders, work with Special Operations, Apache helicopter pilots. Over the last year Erik has worked with doctors, hospitals and health care clinics to reduce burnout and workplace conflicts. Currently, Erik is the CEO of SatiMind, where he does keynote speeches, coaching and training. There he helps organizations, teams and individuals go from a stress mind to a resilient mind. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/new-mind-creator/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/new-mind-creator/support

Every Wednesday we go over company KPIs. That stands for Key Performance Indicators. When Erik first came up with the idea to track KPIs he did so by himself, for numbers he felt reflected the health of the business. Over time those KPIs have changed, and the way we track them has changed as well. We now track high level data every week, like: -Monthly recurring revenue -Lost revenue -New revenue -New deals -Deliverables -Net Promoter Score (NPS) Lower level data, like SEO, social media, and advertising KPIs, are tracked on a monthly basis and now everyone in the company has a KPI they are accountable for. It makes KPIs a lot more meaningful when a person is assigned to them. We find they want to hit their KPI, and if they're not hitting it they can explain the reasons why and what they can do to get there. They often volunteer to take on a KPI so they have something to work toward. — Erik J. Olson is an award-winning digital marketer & entrepreneur.

In school, we don't get to learn social skills. No one teaches us what mistakes not to make. When Erik was young, he was a lonely child with very few friends. He always thought it was just bad luck and never understood why. A few years ago he started reading about social skills and how to interact with others and it opened a world of new knowledge. More than anything, he could see all the mistakes he had done when he was younger. For the first time, he realized that it wasn't bad luck that made him lonely, it was mistakes that he did. If you want to know how to make more friends at school? or how to make more friends at work? this is a great episode for you. -- Today's episode is a personal development episode, where Erik and Emil explore topics about how to grow as a person. We are both personal development junkies and spend many hours every week sharing our ideas and reading about new things. This episode is great for you who want to learn about our latest perspective. We share lots of personal stories, talk about how it applies in our lives, and where we have learned it from. -- This is another spontaneous and very vulnerable episode. We are diving into Erik's childhood and emotions. We are starting by getting an understanding of what Erik's life looked like as a 10-12-year-old, how it changed when he moved to another school as a teenager, and what he learned when he started learning about social skills. "How to make more friends in school?" was one of the questions he tried to understand early and "How to make more friends at work?" is something he is now teaching. After years of diving deep into social skills and personal relationships, this is now one of his core interests and something he loves talking about and learning more about.

On Twitter Erik gets asked a lot about venture capital. It seems to be an excuse for many would-be entrepreneurs to not start their business. There are a lot of reasons or excuses to not start a business but if you really want to have one you have to find your way around them. A lack of funds seems to be the number one reason why people don't get started. But Erik believes it's not always needed in the beginning. When Erik hears this reason from an aspiring entrepreneur he will publicly or privately message them and ask them if they have even tried selling their product or service. Often times the answer is no. The process of selling your product or service is known as validating your business idea. Erik believes that in the beginning this is more important than coming up with the funds to start your business. He suggests buying cheap or used materials and equipment to get yourself started. Next, begin selling your minimum viable product. Then, sell it again. Repeat that process over and over, improving your product or service, and validating you have something to offer that others want to buy. As time goes on you may need some capital to grow your business. But, don't let the lack of capital be the reason you don't start. — Erik J. Olson is an award-winning digital marketer & entrepreneur.

Erik is pretty active on Twitter. He often gets questions about entrepreneurialism there. One of the questions he gets asked often by new business owners, or people who are thinking about starting their own business, is whether they need an accountant in the beginning. The short answer is no, not in the beginning. When Erik first started as a freelancer years ago he was a one-man show. He was working from his dining room table for just a couple of clients. His expenses were minimal and he was only getting paid about once a month from those few clients. It was pretty easy for him to keep the books himself at that point. Those jobs got rolled into his personal taxes so it was fairly simple for him to file his taxes himself in the beginning too. It wasn't until he hired his first employee that he decided to hire an accountant. He wanted to make sure he did things right with payroll and taxes. These days at Array Digital we use a CPA. a CPA is a highly trained accountant who specializes in handling complex tax situations. With 11 employees (some in different states), and yearly revenue at $1.7 million, we're at the point where working with a CPA is the right thing for us. If you're just getting started though, Erik says you don't need an accountant right now. He recommends you focus on validating your offering so that people will want to buy from you. There will come a time when hiring an accountant becomes necessary but the early days is not it. — Erik J. Olson is an award-winning digital marketer & entrepreneur.

When Erik and Kevin first decided to add gym membership as an employee benefit they realized there were a couple of ways of handling it. One way was they could let their employees choose the gym they wanted to join and submit for reimbursement every month. Another way was employees could use the company's credit card number to sign up at the gym of their choosing. They figured out it would be too much administrative work and they wanted something simpler. In the end they decided to choose one gym - the OneLife gym near the office. It's the gym that Erik was a member of. He worked something out with the sales manager to let him know that employees could sign up at that gym and Array Digital would pay for it. They decided they would pay the signing fee for each employee who wanted to join and the monthly membership fee for each employee, which is about $30 a month. While the company pays for two-thirds of the monthly membership Erik still has the employee contribute $5 per paycheck towards their membership. The reason for this is that he wants them to have some skin in the game. He finds that employees value their membership more if they contribute part of their paycheck to the monthly dues and they are more likely to use it. It's also more likely that they will cancel the membership themselves if they're not using it, cutting down on unnecessary spending for the company. Erik recommends handling most employee benefits this way. When an employee is contributing part of their pay toward their benefits, especially something like a gym membership, they are more likely to value it and use it. We value employees' health and fitness at Array Digital; that's why a gym membership is one of the benefits we provide. — Erik J. Olson is an award-winning digital marketer & entrepreneur.

In business when you're done doing work, you send out an invoice complete with a payment term which is how many days you allow your client until they're supposed to pay you in a system called Accounts Receivable. We track all of it down to the invoice and client levels. The higher your AR, the more money you don't have that you've already done work on. Your goal should be to get your AR down as low as possible and that doesn't mean just not working for the clients; it means collecting your payment as quickly as possible. We are moving towards net 0 which is how many days you give your clients in order to pay their bill which means on the first of every month, we bill their credit card or ACH and then do the work for the rest of the month. That's what we're doing for all new clients but we have old clients who are on terms. When Erik first started working for himself, he followed the terms that the government does which is net 30 meaning he wouldn't get paid until a month after he's started work for the client. This means you have to bankroll your operations which, as a one-man show isn't so bad, but when you have a team, it becomes a problem. — Erik J.

When Erik first started his custom software development business 6 years ago, he needed a way of keeping track of tasks for both the company and the clients. They tried to build their own task tracking tool and they ended up abandoning it. It took countless hours to build a tool that, in the end, is an inferior tool - it sucked compared to the tools they could just pay for. You have to make a decision: am I willing to use a tool that doesn't do 100% of the work I need it to or spend potentially thousands of man-hours to build a tool that you're probably not ready to build? Find a tool that is a close fit and start using it. Don't spend time and money and effort that should be used building your company and satisfying your clients building a tool that will only be used internally. Keep your focus on your internal processes and keeping your clients happy. — Erik J. Olson is an award-winning digital marketer & entrepreneur.

At Erik's last job as an employee, he received a not so great annual review. At the time he already knew that it was time to leave to work for himself, and he had expressed to his supervisor that he wanted more out of his career. The supervisor said that Erik had "ambition", but it was said in a negative manner. The supervisor didn't appreciate Erik's ambition - that he wanted to achieve more. The supervisor was part of the bureaucracy and played the game. We don't play those bureaucratic games here at Array Digital. It actually goes against our core policies of Honesty. When Erik's supervisor dinged him for being ambitious, he knew it was time to go. There is no time in life for such nonsense - his old supervisor was simply wrong. Ambition is not a bad thing. Never apologize for being ambitious. — Erik J. Olson is an award-winning digital marketer & entrepreneur.

When Erik was back in high school, he really really wanted a skateboard and they were $120 (for the late 80s, that's pretty pricey) and he didn't have that money. He'd always done paper routes and shoveled snow and cut grass around the neighborhood but that was money that kind of just came and went. He needed money that was set aside specifically for that purpose and that purpose only. So he started reselling Blow Pops - you know, those lollipops that have a big wad of gum in the middle. He bought a big bag and would sell three for a quarter and at that price, he was making good money. He did this for several months and sold them at school, raising the $150 to buy his skateboard. At the time, it was no big deal but in retrospect, the key is that he wanted something, came up with a plan, and executed that plan. It was one of those early signs of entrepreneurialism: if you set your mind to something, you can make a profit if you're savvy enough to sell something that's in demand and come out with happy customers. If you have a kid, Erik would strongly recommend they put effort towards making the money for something they want - whether that be a skateboard, a Nintendo, etc. — Erik J.

At Erik's last employer, the company explicitly forbid employees from freelancing. Many of the people at the company, Erik included, had a strong desire to freelance and thus were technically violating the company policy. What that meant was that many employees carried around two personas. The first persona was that of a loyal employee, and the second was that of a freelancer, but on the down low. It forced employees to sneak around, and they felt scared of getting caught for making a few extra bucks. Each freelance gig that Erik took on resulted in him actually getting better as an employee because he brought that experience back into the workplace. The skills he gained while freelancing made him a better at his job. When Erik started his company he decided to not play that game. He addressed the situation and explicitly allowed freelancing, and still allows it. There are caveats, but generally it's allowed. He believes freelancing is a good practice. A few employees do it, most don't, and it's fine and even encouraged as long as it doesn't distract from their work at Array Digital. — Erik J.

When Erik was a 2-man shop, he worked pretty much non-stop. Every once in a while, his family or someone would interrupt wanting to do something non-work-related. One particular Saturday, he went to the movies with his family, finishing up some code right before they set out. And as he was sitting in this dark movie theater surrounded by his family, he realized that he might have done something wrong, injecting a bug that he didn't realize. He went out into the hall, checked his phone and sure enough, the website was down and it had been down for about an hour and a half. And luckily no one had noticed or alerted the company of the website being down, but the website was down for a total of 3 hours before he was able to get home and fix it. So he got home and got the website back up and running but it made him realize that he needed help. He needed someone who would assure the quality of the work he was putting out. He had another coder at the time and was worried she may have been doing the same thing so he knew he needed to hire a tester who would check all the work that they were speeding through in order to get out on deadline. So he hired Jamal, who still works with us, as an intern to quality-test. He is now our project manager. — Erik J. Olson is an award-winning digital marketer & entrepreneur.

When Erik transitioned from being a DOD contractor to starting his own company, he realized the need to let everyone know this transition was taking place. In episode 245 of Journey to $100 Million, Erik talks about the importance of letting your connections know about the work you are doing. When Erik made the switch to commercial work, he created a printed announcement and sent it to all 235 contacts he had an address for. This was more meaningful than an email, and let everyone know what he was doing so they could hire or refer him. You cannot just tell people what you are doing, and expect it to sink in. You have to tell everyone you know, on a frequent basis, what you are doing. Make it crystal clear what you do, put it in writing, and get it in front of everyone you know. It'll lead to business and referrals! — Erik J. Olson is an award-winning digital marketer & entrepreneur.

Back in the day, Erik tried a lot of different things throughout his entrepreneurial journey. He was not exactly sure what he wanted to do, so he dabbled in many different areas. In episode 234 of Journey to $100 Million, listen in to Erik as he explains how being involved in many different business ventures led to different personas in different scenarios. When Erik was an employee, he had a particular persona, whereas when he was working on different side jobs, he was in a different realm. He kept these different worlds separate from each other, hoping these different worlds would not collide. But, unfortunately, when you have different personas for different situations, none of them get the attention they need. When Erik started his first commercial company, 80/20, he needed to let everyone he had been working with know that this was his sole priority. All of these various personas needed to be consolidated into one so he could focus all of his attention on this new company. In order to be successful, you have to clarify what you can provide, even if that means eliminating business ventures in order to fully commit to one. — Erik J.

Topic - Never Say Never Never say never.  I've seen it.  I've been a part of it.  Persons with autism do go to college, have successful careers and meaningful lives.  Just as with anybody else, their definition of successful and meaningful may be different from yours, but they can overcome autism.  Erik Weber is the first student with autism to graduate from Cal Western School of Law.  He passed the bar the first time he took it and plans to practice special education law.  When Erik was 3, he was diagnosed with severe non-verbal autism.  Parents were told to institutionalize him.  They would have none of that.  Mother took videos of him and used them as a teaching tool.  Erik responded positively to visual learning.  Mom got involved in a local campaign and took Erik door-to-door with her to teach him about first impressions.  It's hard to know “what will work”.  Keep trying. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drclaudia/message

Back in Erik's project management days, he received an amazing opportunity to oversee 5 new projects. Being assigned to this many projects showed the progress he was making in his career, the respect he had gained from his superiors, and his enthusiasm towards this opportunity. In episode 193 of Journey to $100 Million, listen in as Erik shares a huge lesson he learned from one of those projects. When Erik was reviewing each of these projects, he quickly determined one of them was in deep trouble. No one was content with the performance of the project including the client, employer, and team. After making sure the other projects were doing okay, he decided to focus his efforts towards improving the struggling project while he still could, before this became a failure. Although Erik put 95% of his time into this project, it never truly improved and no one could ever figure out how to make it any better. To put it frankly, this project was miserable for Erik. One day the client just canceled it and Erik's 4 other projects were taken away from him. Erik learned a big lesson because of this cancellation. Whenever you are overseeing multiple projects, do not just jump on the landmine. Erik should not have put so much effort into this one project once he saw that it was doomed; he should have just declared it was a problem and focused on his other 4 projects. If something is outright failing, just let it fail. As an entrepreneur, this is obviously difficult because it is shoved down your throat to never give up. And of course, that holds true, but the reality is, never give up until it is really obvious you need to, because you can lessen the damage by ending a project. — Erik J.

When we are talking to a new prospect, one of the things we actively try to do is put ourselves in their shoes. In episode 176 of The Journey to $100 Million Podcast, Erik talks about the strategy we use when trying to acquire new clients. When we are selling to these prospects, we want to understand exactly what their challenges are when it comes to running their business, while also focusing on getting this prospect leads. Here at Array Digital, we work with a lot of different businesses, and we've seen quite a bit. We actually act a lot like consultants for most of our clients when it comes to giving them business advice. A lot of times when we are talking to a brand new prospect, we have a pretty good idea what is going on within their business, and the problems they may face. But, the best thing to do is get them to explain to us exactly what is going on. We need to understand, from their perspective, what their problem is that we could possibly assist in solving. When Erik first started off on his own, he would make assumptions on why clients were coming to him for help. Around 50-75% of the time, Erik was right in these assumptions because he had been in the industry for a good amount of time. But, the issue was, he would make big assumptions of what the full problem was, which was a mistake. Fast forward to today, and Erik tries his best to not assume anything as far as what a prospect's problems are. He wants the client/prospect to state precisely what their problem is. We want them to talk much more than we do when we sit down with them for the first or second time in order to understand what they feel their problem is, and express their vision for the future. The key here, is getting the prospect to explain to us what success looks like, based on their budget. We want to understand how many leads they are looking for, how much revenue they hope to increase, and what their vision is. Once we know that, we are able to go back to the drawing board, look at their digital marketing presence, and come up with a plan to bring back to them. A lot of times, we hold two or three meetings before we actually ask for the prospect's business. This is a lot of work, but it allows us to establish a very tight relationship centered around what the prospect needs. We may bring ideas to them, but we discuss it, and that allows the prospect to pick and choose what they feel is best for them. This is the best way to acquire new clients in our eyes. As Ian Altman says, you have to put yourself in the shoes of the buyer. You are about to form a partnership, and you want to understand exactly where they are coming from, and align your ideas with theirs! When you do that, it is beneficial to both parties. — Erik J.

How do you build a pyramid? Easy! To begin you only need 10 000 slaves and 2,3 million huge blocks of stone. Then just start putting them in place one by one from the bottom up. No problem! Or is it?   Great want to do a lot of things upside down from conventional methods. We want to start with the top piece of our pyramid and build downwards instead. Why?   When Erik built Catena he did it the standard way. Hire junior staff first, and when needed he’d hire a manager on top. Today we explore the downside of this approach when starting a new company.   We are looking for the top stone of the Great Pyramid. We are talking about a CPO/CEO, or just simply, a Great leader.   Today we explore what qualities are the most important to become a Great leader?

When Erik and Emily Orton sailed their boat up the Hudson River, there was no one to greet them. It was late, and no fanfare or celebration disturbed the stillness of the night. But the Orton’s and their five children felt what they had sensed many times over the past year: a quiet victory. They had made it. One year and 2,500 miles after leaving home, the Orton’s had managed to sail their family from St. Martin’s in the Caribbean all the way back to New York City. Today on the podcast my guests have a particularly unusual story of disruption. I typically showcase individuals who jump to a new professional learning curve, but Erik and Emily didn’t just jump, they leapt, swam, and climbed up a curve completely removed from their original day to day life.  As documented in their book Seven at Sea, they chose to live on a boat with their five children for a year while sailing up the east coast of the United States at the breakneck speed of 5 miles an hour. While many would balk at the idea of taking a year off of work (and some would say life) to make such a trip, the Orton’s felt strongly that this opportunity would be transformative—in all the best ways. Through physical strain and emotional courage, Erik and Emily found their balance, strengthened their family, made lifelong friends along the journey and learned that they can, in fact, do hard things.

When Erik was 20 years old he was in a car accident that changed his life. His girlfriend died in the accident and he had suffered a major concussion. He developed Post Traumatic Stress, and throughout the next two years, went through many hard times. Then he saw a "Time Magazine" article that claimed the best natural stress reliever was Mindfulness Meditation. He discovered that meditation helped him to be a better athlete while playing college baseball and helped his grades improve with less effort. Throughout college he started to wonder if there was any evidence for this experience or if he was just a crazy. Erik found that meditation had merged into the Psychology world and research indicates meditation was starting to reveal the benefits he was experiencing. He decided to get his Masters in Psychology and study Meditation and Flow States (many athletes call it "The Zone".)  He was trained to become a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher through UMass Medical School, and using technology, he measures the effects that his clients have gained through the practice of Meditation. Erik learned that by developing a mindful training practice, he could start to regulate and control his thinking and his emotions. This allowed him to influence your physiology and change your relationship to life. Erik found a way to able to shift his PTS into Post Traumatic Growth. satimind.com erikleslie.com https://www.facebook.com/presentmomentfocus/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-leslie-18824430/ https://twitter.com/Sati_Mind

Melanie Johnson and Jenn Foster talk with Erik Swanson about Time Habits & Attitude with Erik Swanson from Habitude Warrior Conference.  Keynote Speaker & Success Coach Erik Swanson As a Speaker, Motivator, Coach, Mentor, Bestselling Author, and a Corporate Trainer, Erik Swanson has been an influence and mentor to tens and tens of thousands throughout the years since his early start in the industry over 19 years ago. Erik shares stages with many top-notch speakers and authors including ones from The Secret, The Think and Grow Rich Society and even the Millionaire Summit Tour. When Erik speaks, audiences are inspired, empowered, and entertained. His style combines step-by-step tactical teachings with humor and vivid story telling.

Erik Wahl is author of “The Spark and The Grind,” “Unthink,” and “Unchain the Elephant.” Starting from an early age Erik was never encouraged in the arts but rather encouraged in his reading, writing and athletics. He believed that if he got straight A’s he would be successful later on in life. Things generally worked out for him–until the Dot-com bubble hit. He was devastated and realized he needed to figure out a new way to live. Erik started meeting artists rather than business types. He came to find that mainstream society does not understand artists and because of this, many of these people would become, for lack of a better term, “tortured artists.” The love of art is what launched him into work as a professional artist. Art was not about producing a product but rather about a new way of thinking. He began processing information in a whole new way, not just linear. Everyone has creative ideas. What sets people apart is how they chose to leverage and use it. When Erik does any presentation he starts off creating a painting on stage to rock music in 3 minutes. He is disrupting thinking by showing the audience rather than telling them. Unless you know how to use agility and mental dexterity you will be left behind. Erik teaches how to tap into creativity and adapt to the increasing rate of change happening in the world.
