Keith Ferrazzi is the bestselling author of multiple books including Leading Without Authority, Never Eat Alone, and his newest book, Competing in the New World of Work. He is also the Chairman of Ferrazzi Greenlight and it's Research Institute. Keith and the co-authors of Competing in the New World of Work conducted a huge research project to find out how organizations around the world were reacting to changes happening because of the pandemic. He says, “What we were looking to capture was a methodology and a roadmap on how the best and brightest leaders and organizations were reinventing their companies, reinventing their leadership style, reinventing their workplace, during the pandemic, in a way that would be sustainable, to allow us to meet the incredibly new volatile world that we live in.” This research resulted in the book and a methodology, called radical adaptability, that looks at four elements of leadership that are crucial for this new world of work. The radical adaptability framework There are four attributes that make up the radical adaptability framework that Keith lays out in his book, they are: Foresight: You have to get everyone in your organization to see around corners and to see risks and opportunities. It's one thing for an organization to have risk management and strategic planning, but you have to be able to turn those ideas and information into action. You have to make risk and opportunity identification part of your everyday work process so that everyone inside the organization knows how to foresee and adapt. Agility: During the pandemic we saw a lot of organizations do things they couldn't have done in normal times. Things that normally take months or years had to be done in weeks. The formal process of agility that is used for software development, project management, program management is very seldom used across the entire organization, but that's what we should be doing. You come up with what your next week's sprint will be, you go do it, and then at the end you assess it candidly and repeat. Companies need to find a way to sustain that method for the long term. Inclusion: It is critical that everyone inside your organization has a voice as getting people involved leads to innovation. The key is to figure out how to include people without slowing the decision making process down. Keith says the solution is synchronous collaboration so that everyone has a shot at getting their idea to the table, no matter how big the group is. And technology has given us the tools to be able to do this. Resilience: Leaders inside of organizations have to radically redefine mental well being in the workplace. It is important to help your people out when things happen and times get tough, but it's also critical to have a system in place to support your people at all times. If everyone is at full mental strength and capacity you have a more productive and engaged workforce. How to lead without authority Anyone inside of an organization can be a leader, even if you don't have an official title or people reporting to you. When Keith was in his 20s he was working at Deloitte, he didn't have authority or a leadership title, but through hard work and a passion for the CEOs vision for the company, Keith made a huge impression on the CEO and ended up getting moved to a CMO position. The CEO of the company wanted the company to be one of the best brands in the world. Keith went out on his own and did a huge research project. He went out and interviewed the head of marketing at multiple companies and then turned his analysis into a white paper. He turned the paper over to the CEO of Deloitte and he was shocked. And because of that initiative he was given a leadership position. Keith also shares that he ended up messing up at his next job because he went in with the wrong mindset. Instead of having the same humility, curiosity, passion that he had at Deloitte before he got a leadership role, he let the role go to his head and he went into the job with pride and overconfidence. He says, “I look at that, and it was shameful. And I see it happening all the time. I see executives leaning on authority to get things done and not co-creating the future of the business with their peers.” Leaders can't just come up with a vision and steamroll everyone to get them to buy into the idea. They have to show up with humility and share their vision with people, a vision that's not fully cooked up, and say to them, “let's go co-create something extraordinary together”. Lessons Keith learned on the golf course as a 10-year old At the age of 10 Keith had to go out and get a job to help out his parents and he ended up working at a golf course at the local country club as a caddy. His father advised him to show up a half hour early, and while Keith thought it was a crazy idea at the time, it ended up being a huge advantage for him. Because he was at work early he was there walking around and he would see how the greens were cut, which allowed him to read putts better. It helped him give his golfers a unique vantage point and he was able to make suggestions using this inside knowledge. One of the top golfers at the club had Keith as a caddy one day and because he helped her improve her score, she started asking for him every time she golfed. She started asking Keith questions about his own life and wanted to know what he wanted to do in life. After trying to avoid the question for a while, he finally gave her an answer. He told her that her dad immigrated to the US and had told Keith that being in America meant Keith could do anything, he could even be President someday. The next time she came to golf she had a local congressman with her who coached Keith, gave him suggestions on what to work on, and suggested that he join speech and debate. Through that mentorship Keith ended up winning the national speech and debate tournament, which was his ticket into Yale University. And all of that came about because of the advice he got from his dad to show up early. Keith says, “I did things other caddies didn't do, because I showed up at the golf course a half of an hour early. And the simple principle, which is true of leading without authority, if you're a leader in an organization, you've got to show up a half an hour early for your people, and then define who your people are not by org structure, but by who you need to work with.” ------------ This episode is sponsored by my friends over at Perceptyx Perceptyx helps enterprises get a clear picture of their employee experience with a continuous listening and people analytics platform aligned to key business goals.

Have you ever seen an astronomically priced domain name for sale and wondered if you could get it for a more reasonable price? If so, Keith Richter is your guy. Keith Richter is the co-founder and director of sales at Lumis, a digital asset brokerage and consulting agency. Lumis helps businesses and organizations acquire digital assets, including domain names.  When Keith was the vice president of one of the largest brokerage firms in the industry, Domain Holdings, he realized that the marketplace was incredibly difficult to interface with and that it is often done on purpose. He asked himself the question, “who is representing the end-user?” Finding no one, he put on his entrepreneurial hat and stepped up to fill that void in the marketplace and his company has seen tremendous growth because of it. Keith told me that since 2017, Lumis has negotiated between $30-40 million in brokerage and helped over 500 companies in 6 continents. He also told me that in 2020 Lumis was named number 2 in the world for the master of domains through escrow.com. Listen in to find out how you can protect your brand by acquiring digital assets (including a domain name) on this episode!  Highlights from this episode What is digital asset consulting and how did Lumis come to be? [2:49] What categories of services does Lumis offer? [5:16] What is involved in determining the value of a domain name? [7:26] Protecting your brand [10:04] What about trademarks and patents? [11:45] Acquiring digital assets outside of domain names [14:22] The importance of choosing the proper extension [16:06] What process does Lumis use to help their clients acquire a domain name? [19:35] How does the escrow component work? [20:53] Fun facts from the domain name world [21:43] What is involved in determining the value of a domain name? Essentially, the purpose of determining the value of a domain is so the end-user can get a fair price for it — similar to the way that the housing market works. When it comes to buying a domain name and determining its value, Keith told me there are several factors involved. A domain name is valued on 3 very important things: its online appraisal, comparable sales, and who owns it. This is where strategy and knowing the marketplace comes into play. Join Keith and I as we talk about the process of domain valuation and acquisition from start to finish. The importance of choosing the proper extension I asked Keith about the significance of choosing the right extension for a domain name and he had quite a bit to share with me about it. He shared everything from how an extension can impact search engine optimization (SEO), to its impact on people’s perception of a brand’s legitimacy.  Keith also shared 5 of the top extensions today, which extension is considered antiquated and is currently being phased out, as well as the extension where he’s seen the most buyer’s remorse. You’ll have to listen in to find out what they are!  Protecting your brand Even though social media is a huge part of marketing strategy in this day and age, domains are still king. Domains can even help protect your brand, believe it or not. While it is important to acquire digital assets such as social media handles, they are not enough to protect your brand. Having a patent or a trademark isn’t enough to protect your brand either. I cannot stress the importance enough, it’s critical to secure the proper domain name. Keith gave me some specific examples of instances where having a domain name would protect a brand. In his own words, “You really can't quantify the spend because, in the end, any marketing campaign that you run will never do as much for your company as the day that you acquire your domain.” Yes, it’s that important. Listen to hear exactly how your brand can be protected in such a way.  Connect with Keith Richter At Lumis’ Website Like Lumis on Facebook Follow Lumis on LinkedIn Follow Lumis on Twitter Connect With Rich Daughtridge www.Daughtridge.com  Follow on Facebook Follow on Instagram Follow on Linkedin Follow on Twitter Subscribe on YouTube Subscribe to Relative Profitability onApple Podcasts, Spotify Audio Production and Show notes by PODCAST FAST TRACK https://www.podcastfasttrack.com

Wikipedia defines a role model as a person whose behavior, example, or success is or can be emulated by others, especially by younger people. When Keith was growing up his older brother was his role model. Addiction and poor decision making led to his first incarceration. Drugs, fraud, and fights led to a life behind bars from jail to prison state to state all his family can do is wait. Keith's admiration quickly turned to resentment and he learns sometimes the first step in realizing who you want to be is recognizing who you don't want to be. Life plans of growing old together turn to letters written to a federal penitentiary.

When Keith takes over command central, all bets are off.....and so is his mic a couple of times, because I didn't give him admin level control! We wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Keith takes time to honor all our Veterans on this veteran's day. A busy weekend and a packed schedule put on the pressure to meet the podcast deadline. When Keith realizes it has been a year since Loud Proud American became an LLC he finds himself reflecting on his decision to walk away from a six-figure income. On January first, 2019 Keith made the announcement he had achieved a dream and became an owner of a Harley-Davidson dealership. Ten months later the dealership was being sold out from under him his thirty-year plan went from a dream to a nightmare. After receiving a six-figure job offer to stay he chooses pride and passion over finances and conveniences. https://www.tiktok.com/@loud_proud_americanhttps://www.facebook.com/Loudproudamericanhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmYQtOt6KVURuySWYQ2GWtwhttps://www.instagram.com/loud_proud_american/

Erin from Kent has asked us for help with her boyfriend Keith who she says wants her to cook a massive Thanksgiving Dinner for about 20 of their friends when she would rather go see her family. She says she hasn’t seen her family in Portland since Covid started and it’s important to her to spend time with them. Plus, she says his friends have not been particularly responsible; in fact she calls them “a bunch of Covid-infested monsters” who have been out partying a lot and she doesn’t want them crammed into their home. When Keith comes on he says he says his friends are not unsafe – only two of them got Covid and that was a long time ago – and he thinks it’s important to be there for people who can’t go see their families. He admits she’s the cook and yes maybe he “volunteered” her without telling her, but he’d just assumed she wouldn’t go to her parents because that would be too dangerous for them. The P1’s are pretty divided over whether they should Make Up or Break Up but everyone agrees Keith could benefit from better communication skills and a little Door Dash.

July 31, 1986. Silver Spring, Maryland. The body of 19-year old Keith Warren is found in a wooded area, hanging from a tree in a noose. Even though there are some unexplained discrepancies, as well as suspicious behaviour from the authorities, Keith’s death is ruled to be a suicide. Nearly six years later, Keith’s mother receives an envelope containing never-before-seen photos of the crime scene, revealing that Keith’s body had been dressed in clothing which did not belong to him. When Keith’s body is exhumed, an autopsy reveals the presence of toxic chemicals in his system, and a former acquaintance of Keith’s who may have had information about the case also turns up dead in a suspicious accident. In spite of these new developments, the authorities refuse to waver from their original suicide ruling. Did Keith Warren really take his own life, or was a massive cover-up orchestrated to cover up his death? This week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold” offers an in-depth exploration into a very controversial case.

So if you are someone looking to get going this would be a great story to hear.A little background on today's guest Keith Kern:ObstaCourse Fitness is a group fitness training gym in Redwood City, California, that focuses on strength, conditioning, and obstacle course training. Keith is a Redwood City local, growing up in the Bay Area. His love for fitness started as a kid, spending most summers in the Lake Tahoe forest and riding his bike everywhere he went. When Keith did his first obstacle course race in 2014, he felt like a kid again. The thrill of climbing obstacles and playing in the mud was exhilarating, and the energy of the community felt very magnetic. 4 years after entering the fitness industry in 2012 as a Bootcamp Instructor and Manager, Keith decided to open his own gym. He had built a big following of personal training clients and obstacle course team members. He wanted to create a non-judgmental gym that empowers people with strength, energy, endurance and confidence, with a variety of fun and challenging classes, and a community that is positive, supportive and inspiring.He wanted to create the best group fitness training program around and have an indoor obstacle course to use for obstacle course training. To create this gym was going to be the biggest risk he’d ever taken. Living in the Bay Area with a Wife and 3 Kids, he knew he needed to make a big move. With the support of his family, friends and partner, he openedObstaCourse Fitness on July 4th, 2017.Where to connect with Keith:Website: www.obstacourse.com Want To Learn How Many Virtual Assistants You Can Afford Right Now To Scale Your Fitness Business?

In this episode of Master Your Genius, host Keith Cornies speaks with one of his clients, Katrina Amurao. Katrina is currently the number one realtor in the Fraser Valley, a wife, and a mother to three children. A devoted Catholic, Katrina is proudly involved in her parish, headed up the building of a brand new school, and is committed to making a positive impact in the community. Katrina and her team sold 223 homes in 2019, and they look forward to selling even more in 2020. When Keith and Katrina first met to discuss her goals, Katrina shared that her purpose was to be the best child of God she could be. To her, this means that she does her best every day and is never complacent; she is always looking for ways to grow, improve, and be a better person for herself and the people around her. At first, she didn’t think she could make the kind of impact she desired as a real estate agent, but has learned to use her skills in real estate to live out her purpose of being the best child of God possible. She creates security for the people around her by doing good and taking great care of her clients. Over the past few years, Katrina has learned to focus on her actions instead of her desired result. She knows that she can’t control results; she can only control what she does next. Katrina calls this knowledge surrender. She has come to the healthy place of knowing that everything happens for a reason, and if she has done all she can do, she can rest knowing that God is in control of the rest. Every night before bed, Katrina prays to God and then writes down the three things that she needs to do the next day. These two routines are extremely important to her; they keep her from being anxious and keep her focused on her next steps. Access to God, Katrina says, allows her to be her best self. She used to judge herself for not being the typical domesticated wife that she thought she had to be, but since she has accepted God’s love for her, her marriage has improved dramatically. Now she spends her days focusing on what she is instead of what she’s not. Katrina recalls a specific day on which she and Keith decided that she was going to “get into the ring.” She had just lost an important client to another agent because she wasn’t perceived as marketable. Through this experience, she learned value-based marketing: she believes in, knows, and sells her value. Her website is clear on the value she brings and the care she provides to her clients, and this clear messaging has helped her become more successful in her business. Katrina has also grown as a leader; Keith says she possesses the three most important leadership qualities: being brave, courageous, and caring. Katrina takes on the difficult conversations, gets things done, and fosters an atmosphere that gives her team a voice. Open communication, Katrina believes, is key to helping others learn to believe in themselves and trust that you believe in them too. After she and her team crushed their 2019 goal of 175 homes sold, she realized that she no longer has a glass ceiling, and that her future both as a real estate agent and as a child of God is limitless.

Keith Leach is an aspiring media personality and Bobby's former KTLA intern! Originally from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Keith came to KTLA as a rising senior majoring in communications at USC, however, pursuing a career in communications wasn't always the path Keith was on. He excelled as a student and was working towards the goal of becoming a dentist. His main motivation was to land a stable career that would allow him to leave the confines of Oklahoma. When Keith arrived in Los Angeles and USC, he began to realize that maybe the biology degree he was pursuing wasn't the right path. He did some soul-searching to find the things he was good at and had enjoyed doing all his life, such as public speaking and writing speeches. Keith switched his major to communications and began to discover that he could use his natural talents in a capacity that could effect positive change. Now, the path before Keith is clear, and he's on his way towards fulfilling some big goals.

Today I had the opportunity to interview Keith Goodrich. Find out more about him on today's podcast and below in his bio! You can see him in the upcoming production of Phantom of the Opera at the Hale Center Theater in Sandy, Ut.

While attending Dixie State University Keith was a member of almost every single performing team on campus and was able to complete two international tours to China as well as several national and state tours with the university's singing and dancing groups. Keith moved to Salt Lake City, Utah and became a choir and orchestra teacher at Elk Ridge middle school. At Elk Ridge middle school Keith also choreographs and codirects the school musicals. In Keith's second year of teaching, he was a quarter-finalist as a music educator of the year for the Grammy Foundation. Keith is also an actor and has been seen frequently at the Hale Centre Theatre Sandy, the Hale Center Theater Orem, and the Egyptian Theater. Besides singing in dancing Keith is also an aerialist. He performs as a member of defying gravity Utah on aerial silks, trapeze, ropes, straps, and Lyra.  Keith is also a violinist and has extensive experience playing in fiddle and bluegrass bands.

Keith Luedeman is the Executive Director for Innovate Charlotte and a name you’ve heard a lot of over the last 12 months (if not before as he also was the founder of GoodMortgage.com). When Keith and I sat down to this interview I told him I had a very simple concept for it. In our interview last spring, he indicated he wanted to take a year to get his feet wet before he committed to making investments or being overly active.  I wanted to cover what the past year has been like now that he has had his chance to get acclimated and also get a sense of where things are heading. The first part of this podcast focuses a lot on Innovate Charlotte and where it is today and turns to look toward the future.  The MIT Mentoring program was launched under Walt Frye and it is having great success.  They are working to match entrepreneurs with mentors to help launch startups.  As we hear, Innovate Charlotte is actively looking for mentors and founders and Keith does an excellent job talking about what they are looking for in both groups of people. The second part of the podcast talk about the future of Charlotte and the future of where Keith where will be.  In this we discuss the BB&T and SunTrust merger, the announcement of a potential medical school and other aspects of where the startup and innovation hubs in Charlotte are going to be. Given Keith’s background as a founder and current role with Innovate Charlotte, he’s got great insight into the future of Charlotte and how it has to merge with old Charlotte.  We weave some of this discussion into a really good podcast exploring Charlotte, startups, and life here in this great city. Local Notes and Thoughts  MapAnything sold this week to Salesforce.  Terms of the deal have not been disclosed yet, but Salesforce Ventures was a lead investor in MapAnything’s Series C round last fall where they raised $42.5 million.  Congrats to all the founders and employees over at MapAnything and for continuing to advance the Charlotte startup ecosystem.

Keith Baker began painting houses in high school and worked construction through college, renovating houses in addition to performing rental make readies and rehabbing flips for investors while earning a degree in Philosophy and German. He never took a class in real estate, finance, accounting or business. Everything he’s learned about business, real estate, and lending has been through practical experience: successes and failures. He started his own construction/general contractor company after college. After closing his contractor business, Keith worked as a Construction Manager at McGuyer Home Builders (Pioneer and Plantation Homes). When the housing market peaked and began to crumble, he jumped head first into a field position with an oilfield service provider: Schlumberger and then parlayed my oilfield knowledge into a career as an energy loss adjuster. When Keith decided to invest in real estate, he hadn’t yet developed the confidence to speak to sellers, so he bought his first investment property from his parents, just to get things moving. He and his wife then house hacked their way through their starter home, which we slowly flipped for a nice profit. Then Keith decided it was time to become a landlord, which was a painful experience. Because he travels so much for a day job that he actually enjoys, Keith converted an old 401(k) into a self-directed IRA (with Quest IRA) and began private lending to local real estate investors to keep himself in the real estate investing loop, close to the action, and to expand his network. Through private lending he bought my first rental property from a potential borrower and met his partner, Landon. Together he and Landon formed Asset REI, which focuses on providing owner financing for both buyers and properties that are neglected and overlooked by the conventional “too big to fail banks.” Thus they become the bank! What you’ll learn about in this episode: How you can be a private lender Keith’s past and the path that led to him becoming a real estate investor The deal that got Keith started in private lending, and how the process works How you can be involved with rehab without taking the associated risks Different scenarios and types of loans Keith works with Why investing in real estate can be a better option than the stock market for many people How to mitigate the risk in real estate investing Why it has been tough to find good deals lately An example where foreclosure wouldn’t be a good option Why loaning money can be easier and more effective than renting The least active way to earn money in real estate How Keith turned his dream and passion for teaching into a reality Why everyone could benefit from having more private lenders in business The two rules Keith teaches all his students Why you should never be afraid to say no How Keith plans to scaffold his education business to ensure quality Avoiding the trap of the imposter syndrome Resources: REInvestorSummit.com/BeALender REInvestorSummit.com/Everywhere REInvestorSummit.com/Machine REInvestorSummit.com/100 REInvestorSummit.com/Coaching

Hey everybody!  I'm Kelly Sutton!  So glad you’ve joined us for another Inside Music Row!  We’ve got plenty of entertainment headlines for you, so let’s get started!  After a wild weekend in the southwest that saw almost five-thousand funnel cakes eaten, seventeen-thousand t-shirts bought, and 67-thousand bottles of water consumed…organizers of the Country Thunder Arizona music festival deemed it a success with their highest attendance to date.  The record setting crowd was treated to performances from Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, The Band Perry, and many more.  Fans can now look forward to the 20-15 festival, which is set to kick off April ninth of next year.   When a New York fine jewelry designer comes to Nashville…you know there will be a country spin on it.  Country artist Dustin Lynch was on hand at Nashville’s Green Hills Mall to celebrate the launch of the David Yurman “Frontier” collection.  Guests were invited to preview the new jewelry and timepieces, with a portion of the proceeds from the night benefitting the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.   Jesse Whitley is honoring his father’s memory this week by bringing back the Keith Whitley Homecoming Concert.  When Keith first achieved major success in the early 1980s, he began returning to his hometown of Sandy Hook, Kentucky with a show to give back to the people he loved and cherished.  The new show date will mark the 25th anniversary of Keith’s passing.   Sara Evans has partnered up with the makers of Hidden Valley Original Ranch products for “Crunch Time.”  This is a new program to help get kids involved in making dinner through games and activities.  Sara even helped design the “Twist On Tonight” activity box, available for a limited time through Surprise Ride.  With a blended family of nine…she knows about crunch time all too well.   Now it's time to go “Inside The Song.”  Jo Dee Messina’s latest single “Me” is all about living up to our individual responsibilities in life.  We talked with Jo Dee a little about how that can be a scary feeling at times.

KEITH MEDLEY is a Kentucky native and plays one of the most unusual instruments that we've ever come across. It's a one-of-a-kind 27-string guitar that Steve designed himself. In the late 70's his band opened for up-and-comers like George Strait, Johnny Paycheck, Ed Bruce, Rita Coolidge, Neil Young and many more from that era. When Keith got off the road in the late 80s he focused on another passion, building and repairing guitars. He eventually went to work for one of the largest guitar companies in the country building custom guitars, and for a few years also ran his own company, Medley Guitars and with it performs his own compositions. DONNA ULISSE (pronounced "you-liss-ee") was born in Hampton Virginia and surrounded by a musical family. Donna made her first appearance singing at the tender age of three when she wandered onto the stage with a bluegrass band. Since then, bluegrass fans are getting to know Ulisse for her songwriter-driven brand of bluegrass, often called "bluegrass without borders." As a writer she has recently had songs recorded by Claire Lynch, Darin & Brooke Aldridge and also had the title cut to Louise Mosrie's "Home" which was the #1 Folk album in the nation in January 2010. In June of 2011 Hadley Music Group released a fourth CD on Ulisse; another collection of original tunes by this gifted singer songwriter titled "An Easy Climb". Also, she just completed a tour of Russia. The invitation to perform was sent from the U.S. Embassy in Russia where Donna performed with several Russian bluegrass bands.
