POPULARITY
Investments in digital health hit an all-time high in 2020, only to surpass the new record within the first six month of 2021. Needless to say, there's never been more attention placed on digital health innovation. But it makes for a crowded market, putting providers and health system CIOs in a challenging position where it's impossible to vet the wave of new technologies and determine what will really help reduce costs and improve care. For 25 years, KLAS has helped providers navigate the increasingly complex healthcare IT landscape through research that's focused on amplifying their voice in the market. With a rigorous process of collecting and assembling feedback from the people who actually use healthcare technology, KLAS forces technology vendors to face, act on, and improve from critical feedback, and gives providers a venue to seek advice from their peers.In this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders, Keith Figlioli talks to the CEO and co-founder of KLAS, Adam Gale. They discuss his firm's role in the digital health industry over more than two decades, and touch on topics important for providers, vendors, investors and others playing a role in the industry's future. They cover a number of issues, such as: The beginning of health tech innovation. KLAS was established at what might feel like the beginning of digital health innovation – even before Meaningful Use was implemented – but once again Adam feels like things are just getting started. He talks about being in the right place, at the right time, to be a trusted voice during the nationwide rollout of electronic health records, and the uncertainty KLAS felt for the future once EHRs were in place. But he also talks about how being at the front edge of technology right now reminds him of those early days, and the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.Forcing change through public policy or private markets. Touching on a theme from the last Healthcare Is Hard podcast with ONC's Steven Posnack, Keith and Adam discuss the levers for implementing change in healthcare IT. Adam shares a conversation he once had with Secretary for Health and Human Services, Mike Leavitt, where they both expressed envy for the other's ability to help implement change. While Adam pictured government as a body capable of setting the course, Secretary Leavitt revealed how difficult this actually is. A slight move in any direction, according to Leavitt, creates waves of pushback from multiple angles. But as a private organization with influence over both vendors and providers, KLAS is in a unique position to drive change and improvements across the industry.Advice for entrepreneurs. Adam shares insights throughout the interview that are valuable for digital health startups and entrepreneurs, while providing direct advice at times too. For example, he talks about the strategic importance for early-stage companies to invest in their first customer relationships to develop one or two health system customers that will become good references. He says this might be a slower path to success, but stresses the power that word-of-mouth has in the healthcare industry and how this approach builds real value.To hear Adam and Keith talk about these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard.
While Adam is away for a month on a work assignment, Belle's best friend Brooke visits from Utah for a week. Belle had been going back and for on telling Brooke about the Lifestyle, but finally does. The result was shocking, surprising, and brought them even closer together. ***This episode was done long distance, sorry for any audio issues!!*** Like our Podcast and want to connect?

In this episode of the Green Industry Perspectives Podcast, Ty Deemer welcomes Adam and Sarah Linnemann, owners of Linnemann Lawn Care and Landscaping Inc. Adam started Linnemann Lawn and Landscape at the age of 14. Today he and his wife, Sarah, run the business together, as well as a consulting and peer group called The Green Executive. While Adam had the technical know-how for running a lawn and landscape business, his wife Sarah brought many of the operational business processes they use today. Today Linnemman has 25 employees, even after scaling back. What Adam and Sarah found is that using “profit-first” methodology, they were able to reduce the amount of employees they had while increasing profits.

This week, we call in to Philadelphia for a conversation with the highly-theatrical pianist and tireless, much-adored performer Adam Weiner, who for the last decade has gained a cult following around the world fronting his soulful bizarro-rock outfit Low Cut Connie. Some artists have retreated into obscurity during the pandemic shut-down; some have made turned lemons into personalized live-stream lemonade. But Adam took it to another level when he launched his often twice-weekly vaudevillian interactive web show “Tough Cookies” from a back bedroom in March. Charging around his small home stage like a schvitzing piano preacher, often losing clothing along the way, Adam has learned nearly six hundred covers in the last eight months alone - from Barry Manilow to Cardi B's "WAP" to Macho Man to an entire Little Richard set, which he performed to honor his hero after his passing. He then interviews anyone from Beyonce's dad to members of Sly and the Family Stone - in short, it's a rollercoaster every week that you kind of have to watch to believe. Alongside his 2020 LP Private Lives, Low Cut Connie's heartfelt and sweat-dripping sets have gained him some famous supporters: Elton John for one, fellow New Jersey-born hero Bruce Springsteen for another - and that up-and-coming playlist presenter Barack Obama unexpectedly placed Low Cut Connie's defiant cabaret rocker “Boozophilia” on his must-listen list. Indeed, this taping - which often showed Adam jumping from his piano to his guitar to play favorites like the Kinks-esque “Revolution Rock N Roll,” initially had to be delayed so he could play an inauguration event for new president and Philly-piano lover Joe Biden. While Adam is basking in some much-earned attention, it hasn't always been an easy road. He readily admits to scrapping by on side jobs into his mid-thirties, for years playing around dim New York City piano bars as his sequined alter-ego Ladyfingers. If Adam's learned anything during this strange era, it's that people desperately still need live music - in all its spur-of-the-moment, sweaty glory. One of the more moving stories he tells is seeing groups of nurses in beleaguered hospitals taking a much needed break to watch his livestreams. Much like his hero and patron Elton John, Low Cut Connie's songs can leap from intimate folk-rock to greasy soul to bombastic musical theater and back with ease - and his relentless spontaneity keeps fans waiting for that he will do next.
Audio recordingSermon manuscript:The bible presents us with a tremendous either/or. Either we are a child of God or we are a child of the devil. Either we are on God’s side or we are on the devil’s side. Either we are obedient to God or we are obedient to the devil. Either we are receiving the Holy Spirit or we are possessed by one or more evil spirits. We’ve never liked this either/or very much. In our modern times we seem to have been given a powerful argument against it. There is a widespread belief that somebody somewhere discovered that there are no such things as evil spirits, nor is there a devil. These are just relics from a previous time in human development when people were too stupid to know any better. There is a variation of the same argument that is used with God’s existence. Supposedly somebody somewhere discovered that God doesn’t exist. It is believed that ancient people had to make up the existence of God because they were too stupid to explain the world in any other way. This mindset obviously fosters a feeling of superiority over our ancestors. That is where the greatest strength lies in that line of reasoning. We are able to do things that they couldn’t. We can move mountains. We can make the deaf hear and the blind see. These signs and wonders are taken to be incontrovertible proofs that God can’t exist. The logic runs like this: Ancient people didn’t have modern technology. With modern technology we are able to do seemingly god-like things. Therefore, if ancient people would have had modern technology, they never would have had to believe in gods. But there has never been a need to resort to logic for anyone to be convinced. We have run away from this either/or from the start, that is, from immediately after the fall into sin. Before the fall into sin Adam and Eve knew with all their heart, soul, and mind that God existed. Immediately after the fall they could no longer bear this thought. After all, if they brought that thought to mind, then those words would immediately float to the surface: “In the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.” Just to keep their sanity they needed to put some distance between themselves and God. They got busy making clothes and storing up some food. They started to make a living for themselves. They had to put their mind on other things besides the thought of whom they belonged to. This busyness allowed them to think they were independent, not subject to the either/or. That was as refreshing to them as air is to a drowning man. Plus it was even plausible. The devil had wisely went away. They weren’t obedient to him were they? Sure, they obeyed him that one time, but now they could make up their own minds. With God, they knew that they hadn’t been obedient to him. But that didn’t seem to matter. After all, the punishment that was threatened didn’t come. Plus isn’t that the very thing that the serpent had said, “You won’t surely die…” So, they thought, there must not be any either/or. Let’s just get busy making the most of our lives. They did not need modern technology to teach them that there is no such thing as gods or devils. They wanted to believe that. They wanted to be deceived. And, if you believe in yourself, and never give up, you can usually get what you want. You might think that God coming to Adam and Eve in the cool of the day and preaching to them would have put a stop to this delusion. Adam and Eve became aware of the consequences of their obedience to the devil, but they also learned from God that one would come who would crush the serpent’s head. But sin sank deeply into Adam’s loins. While Adam and Eve believed, probably with as much difficulty as anybody else, all his descendants are predisposed to reject the thought that either we are obedient to God or obedient to the devil. I think you can easily see that this is true in our day. You can already see the same thing with Cain and his children and grandchildren. Genesis chapter 4 shows how unbelieving Cain and his unbelieving descendants lived like Adam and Eve did in their unbelief. They got busy. They made some businesses. What was important for them was improving the quality of life. They were tremendously successful. They invented all kinds of things. They became powerful. The brief history culminates in a man named Lamech. Moses tells of how he boasted to his two wives that he had killed a man who had wounded him, and if anybody else might get any ideas, they better have another thought coming. This self-absorption and self-aggrandizement put other thoughts to the side. They were busy running the rat race. The great either/or of life was not on their radar. Who cares about holiness or evilness so long as the good times keep rolling? We might think that our people are so advanced, but we see the exact same mindsets in the mighty men of old who lived before the flood. Paul says in 1 Cor. 1 that the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the wisdom of God. I’m sure that there are many dimensions to why the world thinks that the preaching of the cross is foolishness, but I’m also sure that what we have been talking about today lies at the very heart of it. The cross is the way that the devil, even though he be fully armed, is overtaken by Christ, who is stronger than he is. Christ ties the devil up and plunders all his goods. That is to say, Christ, by his sacrificial death, takes away the human beings who used to belong to the devil, used to be obedient to him, and makes them children of God. The cross of Christ is right at the heart of the either/or of we human beings either being a child of God or a child of the devil. It is an undoing of the curses in the Garden of Eden. It works reconciliation between God and sinners because justice was carried out on Jesus. But in order for the cross of Christ to make any sense life must be understood in terms of being in a relationship with either God or the devil. Life is about being exorcised from the devil and all the evil spirits and being given the gift of God’s Spirit. The thought that was totally unbearable—that is, how we stand with an almighty God whose commandments we have not kept—can be brought back to mind. We can confess how dreadfully we have sinned against God because we have a better justification in Jesus than we could ever have otherwise in ourselves. Adam and Eve, in their innocence, were once happy at the thought of being together with God. There was nothing they liked better. That same joy and peace is yours now too in Jesus. We don’t belong to the devil anymore. Jesus has purchased and won us with his holy precious blood and his innocent suffering and death. Our life as a Christian, then, is a matter of receiving and believing in the justification and holiness that God continually gives us. It is a return to the innocence and hopefulness of the Garden when all things were new. The apostle John speaks of our lives as Christians this way: “We are children of God now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when Jesus is revealed we will be like him, and we will see him as he really is. Everyone who has this hope purifies himself just as Jesus is pure.” In our Gospel reading we heard about Jesus casting out a demon. According to what we’ve looked at today, this is not something strange. This is at the very heart of what the Son of God came to earth to do. It is the very thing that he does with us by baptizing us and by absolving us. He sets us free from our bonds to Satan and makes us children of God. Furthermore he feeds us with holy food and holy drink, so that we do not remain empty houses, just waiting to be haunted again, but are filled more and more with the Spirit of God. The great either/or are the terms in which Jesus does his work. He moves us from being under Satan to being under God, together with Jesus our brother. But, as I’ve spoken about at length, we do not like this way of looking at our life. That was true at Jesus’s time too. And so you see how the church of that time opposed Jesus, even though he is operating with the very heart of what God would have us be about. They dismiss Jesus as being weird. “He’s probably just casting out demons by Beelzebul,” which means means, “lord of the flies.” That’s the name they give for the devil. He’s just the buzzing lord of the flies. No big deal. This stuff that Jesus is doing is all a dog and pony show. He just doing some silly cable TV stuff. Meanwhile, these Jewish authorities have much more important things to do than cast out demons. They have to carry on negotiations with government officials and rob widow’s houses and make names for themselves. The real task to the church is very different. It is the way that Jesus, through his Word and Sacraments, deals with individuals. He exorcises people who were born in sin. He exorcises those who have returned to their bondage in sin. He sets them free. He is engaged in the great either/or scenario that every single person, without exception, is engaged in. And it is a battle. The kingdom of God fights against the powers of darkness. You can see that these are the general terms of the struggle in Luke chapter 10. Jesus sends out seventy two men to preach wherever the message might be received. When they return they are filled with joy, and this is what they say, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name!” They do not talk about how nice Grandma Schmidt is, or even about how many people they reached. They go right to the heart of our existence: Demons were cast out. People were set free. By believing in Jesus’s name they were given the right to become the children of God. These terms of the struggle have not changed. Insofar as we are actually doing the work that Jesus gave his disciples to do, we continue to cast out demons by baptism and absolution and distribute the Holy Spirit by God’s Word and Sacraments. That this is our true task is very important for us to learn, because it has always been unpopular. It was unpopular in the Garden of Eden. Folks would rather just not think about being either under God or under the devil, because they are afraid. They are afraid that they might end up finding out that they are under the devil. They are afraid that if they are under God that they won’t be able to do the evil things that they want to do. This is why it is important that we Christians understand that we have been given the authority to deal with people in God’s Name. Jesus says “He who hears you, hears me.” When we are speaking according to God’s Word, what is said has just as much validity and power as if God himself spoke from heaven. And the message that we Christians have been given to speak is not terrible or frightening. It’s a message like the one the angel of the Lord spoke to the frightened shepherds on Christmas night: “Do not be afraid! I bring you glad tidings of great joy that is for all people, for unto you is born this night in the city of David a Savior who is Christ the Lord.” The Stronger One has come, bound up and defeated the devil (even though he was fully armed), and he has taken away the right of the devil to hold on to even a single soul. Jesus purchased everyone. The only way that the devil has any power whatsoever is by lying, and by tricking people into believing those lies. The truth is that atonement and justification have been worked for all people. All are set free to become children of God. Only by clinging to lies can people foil God’s tireless efforts to save them. I can’t think of a more helpful thing that we can do for people than to help them see this, to understand it, and thereby be victorious over the devil, the world, and their own flesh. The outcome is never in doubt, for Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. There he rules at the right hand of God the Father. He rules by the preaching of the good news, the Gospel. Today we will close with a different blessing than the one we’re accustomed to: May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful. He will do it.

While Adam's relationship with Clara has been polyamorous in name, the lock down meant it was monogamous in fact. Now that's changing, and Adam is finding out he's not as high as he thought on the pecking order.
THE STORY OF ADAM AND EVE The first man's name was Adam and his wife he called Eve. They lived in a beautiful Garden away in the East Country which was called Eden, filled with beautiful trees and flowers of all kinds. But they did not live in Eden long for they did not obey God's command, but ate the fruit of a tree which had been forbidden them. They were driven forth by an angel and had to give up their beautiful home. So Adam and his wife went out into the world to live and to work. For a time they were all alone, but after a while God gave them a little child of their own, the first baby that ever came into the world. Eve named him Cain; and after a time another baby came, whom she named Abel. When the two boys grew up, they worked, as their father worked before them. Cain, the older brother, chose to work in the fields, and to raise grain and fruits. Abel, the younger brother, had a flock of sheep and became a shepherd. While Adam and Eve were living in the Garden of Eden, they could talk with God and hear God's voice speaking to them. But now that they were out in the world, they could no longer talk with God freely, as before. So when they came to God, they built an altar of stones heaped up, and upon it, they laid something as a gift to God, and burned it, to show that it was not their own, but was given to God, whom they could not see. Then before the altar they made their prayer to God, and asked God to forgive their sins, all that they had done was wrong; and prayed God to bless them and do good to them. Each of these brothers, Cain and Abel, offered upon the altar to God his own gift. Cain brought the fruits and the grain which he had grown; and Abel brought a sheep from his flock, and killed it and burned it upon the altar. For some reason God was pleased with Abel and his offering, but was not pleased with Cain and his offering. Perhaps God wished Cain to offer something that had life, as Abel offered; perhaps Cain's heart was not right when he came before God. And God showed that He was not pleased with Cain; and Cain, instead of being sorry for his sin, and asking God to forgive him, was very angry with God, and angry also toward his brother Abel. When they were out in the field together Cain struck his brother Abel and killed him. So the first baby in the world grew up to be the murderer of his own brother. And the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” And Cain answered, “I do not know; why should I take care of my brother?” Then the Lord said to Cain, “What is this that you have done? Your brother's blood is like a voice crying to me from the ground. Do you see how the ground has opened, like a mouth, to drink your brother's blood? As long as you live, you shall be under God's curse for the murder of your brother. You shall wander over the earth, and shall never find a home, because you have done this wicked deed.” And Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear. Thou hast driven me out from among men; and thou hast hid thy face from me. If any man finds me he will kill me, because I shall be alone, and no one will be my friend.” And God said to Cain, “If any one harms Cain, he shall be punished for it.” And the Lord God placed a mark on Cain, so that whoever met him should know him and should know also that God had forbidden any man to harm him. Then Cain and his wife went away from Adam's home to live in a place by themselves, and there they had children. And Cain's family built a city in that land; and Cain named the city after his first child, whom he had called Enoch.

Hello Guys Welcome back to Andrea's Podcast Today I have a very special guest, Adam Atkinson who is one of the best competitor prep coaches in the country and he is making a huge impact in the physique sports industry. Adam has had a passion for fitness and bodybuilding since he was a child. Adam and his dad, an avid lifter and fitness enthusiast, created their own home gym and his passion for lifting took off. After lifting and bodybuilding as a hobby for many years he knew the next step was for him to turn his love of the sport into a career. After training at the local YMCA for a short time, Adam became a certified personal trainer with ISSA. As a personal trainer for 12 years and as his client base continued to grow, he realized that proper nutrition counseling and guidance was desired but lacking for many of his clients. To fill this void, Adam founded See You Later Leaner based in Columbus, Ohio In an effort to provide the very best nutrition coaching possible Adam has become the "Diet Doc" of Columbus. He works with all sorts of clients from bodybuilders to people looking to shed a few pounds and tone up. He has trained and coached many competitive bodybuilders, figure, and physique clients and has had great success with many first place wins, overall finishes, and pro-card titles within numerous federations including NPC and IFBB. Adam has competed in several bodybuilding competitions himself and has qualified for the NPC Team Universe three times. While Adam enjoys competing, his true passion is helping other people make transformations they never dreamed were possible.

How does a "roofing company" growth hacker generate $240,000 from a $7,000 marketing investment? This week on The Inbound Success Podcast, roofing company marketing expert Adam Sand shares the marketing campaign formula he uses to regularly generate 3300% return on investment for his clients. A roofing business owner himself, Adam has parlayed his success marketing his own business into a new career helping other roofing companies to use digital marketing and direct mail to grow their businesses. Over time, Adam has refined an approach to combining Facebook ads, video marketing and direct mail into a proven formula for lead generation that works for any industry - not just roofing. This week's episode of The Inbound Success Podcast is brought to you by our sponsor, IMPACT Live, the most immersive and high energy learning experience for marketers and business leaders. IMPACT Live takes place August 6-7, 2019 in Hartford Connecticut and is headlined by Marcus Sheridan along with special guests including world-renowned Facebook marketing expert Mari Smith and Drift CEO and Co-Founder David Cancel. Inbound Success Podcast listeners can save 10% off the price of tickets with the code "SUCCESS". Click here to learn more or purchase tickets for IMPACT Live Some highlights from my conversation with Adam include: Adam joined his friend's roofing business and used Facebook ads to grow the company's revenue. He was so successful at it that he began to get other roofers asking him for help with their own Facebook ad campaigns. From there, his business advising roofing companies on growth was born. While Adam's business is focused on helping roofers grow their companies, nothing that he does is specific to the roofing business (and therefore is entirely applicable to other types of companies looking to grow their revenue). Adam and his business partner have built a custom pixel that allows them to track website visitors and then enrich that data with the anonymous visitor's name, mailing address, and email address. They use this data to build a simple, three-step funnel that incorporates Facebook ads to drive top-of-the-funnel traffic, direct mail retargeting, and then a bottom-of-the-funnel offer. The campaign starts with a series of three educational videos that Adam boosts using Facebook ads. Anyone who watches one of the first three videos is considered to be a qualified lead and then retargeted with a fourth video that is more bottom-of-the-funnel and offers them a free upgrade (such as a vent) with the purchase of a new roof. Adam then uses his custom Dope 360 pixel to identify the visitors that have clicked through to get more information on the free upgrade offer and sends them a targeted direct mail postcard. By adding the postcard into the campaign, Adam and his partner are getting a 15% to 70% increase in their conversion rates. One way they measure ROI is by using call tracking software. The way Adam has set up the Dope 360 platform allows the user to log in every morning and see the visitors that have come to their site on the prior day, along with their enriched contact information, and then simply hit a button and have the postcard sent to them. Importantly, mailing and fulfillment is included in the platform and there are not minimum order quantities. This approach has enabled Adam to lower the cost per lead for roofers from $150 to $70. The ROI is also astronomical on these campaigns. Adam estimates that a typical campaign costs around $7000 and generates approximately $240,000 in revenue (this is a 3300% ROI).

Transcript Kathleen Booth (Host): Welcome back to the Inbound Success Podcast. I'm Kathleen Booth and I'm your host, and today my guest is Adam Sand, who is best described as a roofing company growth hacker. Never heard that title before, can't wait to dig into it. Welcome, Adam. Adam Sand (Guest): Thank you so much. I appreciate the opportunity to come on the show, and kind of see what I can offer the audience. I've looked into a bit of your episodes, and it looks like you have quite the advanced group of people and I'd love to contribute what I can and see if there's anything that might be taken away from it. Adam and Kathleen recording this episode Kathleen: Yeah, you know, what's fun for me about doing this podcast is obviously I get to talk to a different person each week because I'm interviewing somebody, but what I think is so much fun is some of them are like marketing luminaries, at least to me, people that I've looked up to and then I have the opportunity to speak with. And some are people I've never heard of, who are doing just amazing work. And I meet them and I interview them and I think, oh my gosh, how is this person not a luminary or are they a luminary in the making? And some of the most interesting conversations have been with people who are not marketers by trade or by training. They come into it and they're very intuitive. They're voracious learners, and sometimes they're the best at marketing because they understand the customer the best. So I was really intrigued when I saw your profile because you have this background in roofing, like literally companies that put new roofs on your house, and you've had tremendous success with that and now you're helping other roofers. You've become something of a marketing expert outside of roofing all together, so I can't wait to hear more about it. But to start with, because you do have such an interesting background, I would love it if you could tell my listeners your story, and how you became to be the roofing company growth hacker. About Adam Sand Adam: Well, it's a very odd, and everything I've done, I call it the accidental career. Everything has come down from just a series of well-positioned accidents. I owned a business before that had nothing to do with construction. I recognized an opportunity in that business that was basically in the app world. This was way back when apps were brand new and they were kind of a hot thing, and nobody was quite sure what to make of them. And what I found was when I closed this tanning business ... I had a couple of tanning salons, I sold them off, and I was no longer involved in it, I went in and I was like, you know what I want to do? I don't want to deal with people anymore. I wanted to make an app. I wanted part of the app millionaire gold rush, right? And so I made an app for other tanning salon owners who had a challenge of taking phone calls and trying to run the business at the same time. You either had to pay for an extra person, or you had to literally duck out of a sale to go take an appointment. And I thought man, wouldn't it be nice if people could just book an appointment on their phone? Which today is such a duh thing, but back then I literally was trying to convince tanning salon owners that this would be a good idea. And so I really dove into a different kind of business, like something totally outside of what I was doing before, you know, retail, service-based stuff. And I really kind of saw the power of technology and I spoke with a lot of tanning salon owners on Facebook, and so I really started to see and believe in the power of social media by trying to promote this app. We ended up doing fairly well with it. I made the app, I sold it to a large franchise, and then they ended up and eventually turned it into an app that many people know and use today. Part of my code is still lingering around inside that app somewhere, and they've turned it into a thing that they could use to then book for all their people, and that kind of moved into everything and all tanning salons. So from there I made some money, and my best friend, who he was about to have his second baby, he was not enjoying the company he worked for. The roofing company that he was at sold, so his bosses sold the company, and they made a bunch of money off of it, which intrigued me. He went to go start his own roofing business after a while, because he didn't really like working for the new guy, because the new guy didn't know anything. So when him and I talked, I said, "You know, you're not really running a business." He was just subcontracting. A big company would sell the roof, and then he'd come do the work. I was like, "You don't really own a business. You're just an employee that pays taxes differently." And so that's when I said, "How much did those guys sell that company for?" And he told me and I was like, I can live with that kind of exit strategy. So I said, "Let's do this together." I jumped in, and we were doing a lot of the stuff that was conventional. Facebook was not ... like it had the ads on the sidebar, that was it. There were no Facebook ads as it exists today. But everyone was talking about Crackbook, they called it Crackbook, and I had seen the power of it in communicating and connecting with people on social media. We hired the Google Ad Agency and all that, and I was like our account manager comes in, "Hey, can you run Facebook ads for us? I really think this would be a really good place to promote?" And they were like, "No, stupid, you don't sell roofing on Facebook. Roofs are how much?" I was like, "I don't know, six, 10, 40000 dollars." He was like, "Yeah, you don't have a buy now button for a roof. You need to track conversions. You need a buy now button." And then they were like, "And what's your lead magnet going to be?" And I was like, "What's a lead magnet?" Like if you're a dentist you give away a free tooth whitening and then you'd convince them to be full time clients. Or it's like, you gave away a free guide on how to lose weight, and then you sell online personal training or a fitness book or something. He was like, "That's what you use Facebook for, dummy." And I was like, "Okay." So then I fired them, and went to try and hire another company. They said they would, and then when it came push to shove, they wouldn't do it. I spent eight months trying to hire a Facebook ad marketer. And nowadays you can't throw a shingle off a roof without hitting 13 people with a ClickFunnels degree that are promising riches from leads from marketing on Facebook. But back then it didn't exist. Eventually I decided I would learn myself. There was nobody who could tell me exactly what to do, but one instructor online who ran one of those online courses, he said, "Hey, you know, you're right, I can't tell you how to do it, but I can tell you how to test and how to run assumptions and how to operate Facebook." And just then, the news feed ads started to come out, and he said, "And this is a great time to get into it." And so I went about learning, and when you learn, you spend a bunch of money losing and failing, but then eventually we had some massive success. Now sharing that success in the group as I went, just kind of like ... they had a little private Facebook group for all the students, like all these online course people have, and as I was sharing ... and then all of a sudden we had our big hit, he was like, "Hey, you know, we should get you on the podcast." And he did, and this is where the accidental career thing comes in. Because the minute I did that, all these other people, the other marketing guys, were like, "Hey, I want to try and make lots of money selling roofers Facebook ad marketing." Or it was like, "Hey, I own a roofing company, can you help me?" I was kind of flattered at first, and trying to just answer people's questions for free, and eventually it got so ... it was like another podcast interviewed me and then another podcast interviewed me. And next thing you know, I so busy I was like, I should charge money for this. Not like neglecting my other business to answer these people that flatter me with this hey, can you help me thing. And that blew up, and the next thing you know, it was like okay, fine, I'll run Facebook ads for you, 1500 bucks a month. And then there were others ... it was like, oh I don't have time, $5000 month, he won't say yes to that. And he says yes. Okay, $7000 a month. Okay, yeah, and I'm like holy smokes. Kathleen: There's a business in that. Adam: Yeah, and then I started to feel bad because some people obviously couldn't afford that and I know how hard working roofers are, because this is a trade that is not easy. It's a tough, tough job, and there are a lot of smaller companies that deserve to have success as much as the big ones. And so I said, "Okay, well can't I just put all these lessons into something?" I mean, now we've hired teachers to actually create pedagogical learning so that we could actually ... Because, I mean, roofers are not easy to teach marketing to. So I hired people with education degrees to help me teach them, like, "Hey, you teach children? Perfect, that's exactly what I need to teach people my marketing." And so we brought him on to help me create these courses. He was sort of like, "Hey, you know, I know you can't afford to hire me, but here, pay this 500 bucks a month and you can learn to do it yourself." It's exactly what I do in my roofing company and for a lot of these clients it helped. And that's where this roofing company growth hacker kind of started. Then when it became ... all these roofing companies started having problems with having too much business, I found out that companies, even $10, $15 million dollar roofing companies, they've got technological problems. They're still stuck 10 years back behind the rest of us. I mean, they're using triplicate paper, they're using old systems, they're still using dot matrix printers. So when they all of a sudden had too much business and wanted to fire the marketing guy because they don't need any more leads, it was either get fired or fix their problems. So I was like, "What's the problem you're having?" Too much business, we're not calling people back, and leads are leaving bad Google reviews. And I was like, "Okay, well I can fix that. I can fix that." Next thing you know, I became a CRM consultant, is what you call yourself now. And so with all the different stupid things that I do, for lack of a better word, growth hacker was the term that kind of seemed like it made the most sense. Now it's like this cliché thing. But yeah, it's essentially helping roofing companies run their businesses a lot more like how we do run our businesses online, using things like Slack and Trello and project management, and thinking about things in terms of how do we scale and optimize and automate our businesses so that selling a roof is just like selling something through a funnel. That's all it is, it's just half the funnel exists out there in the real world on houses. Kathleen: Yeah, and I love ... it seems like the real common theme underneath a lot of this is that you love to sink your teeth into a business problem and figure out a way to use technology and automation to solve it, and that was kind of one of the reasons I was excited to talk to you because when you and I first connected I felt like there were so many different topics we could cover in this interview. We could talk about your approach to Facebook ads, we could ... there are plenty of things we could do. Adam's Approach to Combining Direct Mail With Digital Marketing Kathleen: But what I thought was really interesting was how you strung together different elements of a marketing approach involving things like Facebook ads, but then also offline things, like a postcard, and a company's CRM and their back end data, in order to put together a 360 degree marketing campaign that really touches ... has those touch points with the customer in so many different ways. And it was very effective. So I'm excited to talk about that and dig into it a little bit. Adam: Yeah, and I thought that would be really good because the audience that ... from what I've seen from your other guests, is that this is not Basics 123 here, have you heard about the Facebook pixel-type audience. I mean, this is an audience of people who are looking for an edge, who are looking to be more competitive with their agencies, or to try and find ways to actually perform better for their clients, and kind of have those disproportionate results that maybe Facebook is feeling for a lot of people, has lost is luster. Because it used to be, oh yeah, do an image ad and anybody who engages with that ad, re-target them. Or like anybody who visits your website, just re-target them with an opportunity to purchase it again for 10% off. And that used to work like cookies, it was so simple. And we look at it now, it's kind of losing a little bit of its effectiveness, you need a little bit more strategy. And I love what you said at the beginning about knowing your customer, and beginning with the end in mind, how really knowing that buyer's journey. That is something that's so heavy in what I do, because with ... I mean, the construction industry, the home services industry, margins are huge, right? It's a business that not a lot of people want to do. Everybody wants to be a Gary V nowadays, they don't want to be a Bryan Bauemler or a Bob Vila or a Mike Holmes. They want to be like Gary V or Tim Ferriss. So there's not a lot of people that want to do construction, so the work requires a good margin to make it worth it. And so the business, from a marketer's perspective, I mean, I'd rather be a marketer for the construction business than join the cult of chiropractic dentists, that whole side. Or, getting into the whole online marketing, selling, e-commerce construction is a very underserved, hugely profitable marketing industry, or I guess an industry for marketing to pursue. And so for us it was how do we continue to maintain an edge and kind of perform in ways that roofing companies or construction companies or home services companies understood? And one thing that they really understand, and they already see value in, is direct mail and lawn science, right? Like these kinds of real life touch things that there's a tangible to it. And if you explain to a roofing company that you're going to send somebody a postcard, they're in. If you explain to a roofing company that anybody who hits their website you're going to re-target them with a digital postcard inside of Facebook, they get confused. But when you show them that they're one and the same thing, essentially, where you can ad extra media, extra education, and you can reach people at scale for pennies, like you literally can't throw flyers out your window for as cheap as you can get video views on Facebook. Well, then they start to understand. And as Facebook is starting to remove targeting options, most specifically home ownership, and then they did take away income for awhile, and now we know we've brought it back, but home ownership still doesn't exist. Now, Facebook doesn't want you to not be successful with your Facebook ads. They just don't want to make it so that any one month graduate of an online marketing course by some 19 year old influencer is now suddenly able to target Hispanic homeowners for high interest mortgages. They don't want Facebook to be used in ways that land them in the Senate hearings. Kathleen: Right, which is ... they're fighting an uphill battle, but they're working on it. And I should note, before we get too deeply ... Even though what you do is specific to roofing, it is totally applicable to so many different industries. Like there's nothing so particular about this, other than probably you're targeting options in Facebook, that is specific to roofing. So if you're listening and you're not in the roofing industry, don't jump off, this is relevant to everybody. Adam: Oh, absolutely. If you want to target people who like ... I mean, at the end of the day, this is all about targeting ... just allowing yourself to have every option. It's just about making sure you have choices. Because Facebook wants to be successful, they just don't ... they almost just want to make it a little bit like you have to be kind of advanced, or you have to kind of invest in your business a little bit. The barrier to entry is just getting a little bit higher because you can't just ... They just don't want it so that these people can continuously ruin everything. It's like Seth Godin says, marketers ruin everything. Kathleen: Yeah. Adam: And so what we've found is that Facebook used to share and enable us to buy ... Or not buy, but they used to enable us to target data from Epsilon and Acxiom and all these other third party data providers, but then that allowed us to target things like Hispanic homeowners, stuff like that that was something that was a problem, especially in the finance industry. So then they had to remove that level of targeting. Does not mean that we cannot still access that information when somebody hits our website, it doesn't mean that that information isn't still existing in that transaction of someone coming to a website. And so what we tried doing is plugging into ... Me and an affiliate of mine, we decided we would try to plug in to that data still by creating our own pixel, so that we could continue to use our content marketing campaigns where we educate people on process, the people and the product of our home services companies ... because he owns another home services business and has a marketing agency as well. But to continue to market our people, our process and our products, and then re-target the people who engage with those videos with another video talking about a very specific product and then offering a free upgrade to that product. Very simple, three-stage funnel, nothing fancy. Works awesome, but we wanted to increase the effectiveness of that, and also improve the targeting of it. And so with this pixel, what we found is that we were able to then still get the information, and then we can append that internet user data against the same data brokers that Facebook used to allow us to target from, Axiom, Epsilon, etc, etc, and when we run that internet user data against that waterfall, we could then, 24 hours later, have name, email and home address. Kathleen: So let's back up for one second, because I want to make sure everyone understands exactly what we're talking about. So if you're a marketer, you're probably familiar with the concept of Facebook advertising and the notion that if you have an ad account with Facebook, you have a pixel, which is that little snippet of code that you put on your site that allows Facebook- ... Which is that little snippet of code that you put on your site that allows Facebook to feed ads to people that have been on your website. You said you built your own pixel. Is this something that is used in tandem with the Facebook pixel, or instead of it? Adam: No, we still use the Facebook pixel because there's still a thousand other things that we can't do with ours. All this did was allow us to submit that information to our data provider and say anybody who hits this website, we want to know who they are so that we can then re-target them with a direct mail campaign if we want, or online marketing if we want. Driving Qualified Website Traffic Kathleen: Great, and so is there a part of this campaign that starts off the website? Are you using Facebook ads to drive people to the website first? Adam: Absolutely. This is a campaign that I run for my clients all the time. I coin it a 30 day roof booster. Essentially it's where you run three videos that are purely educational, not salesy, they're just content. It's to talk about the people or something about the company that makes them good, the process, video, something about the roofing process that helps customers understand. Product video, something talking about the product. We do some other ones, thought reversal. Kathleen: The very top of the funnel. Adam: Yeah, very top of funnel stuff, just to basically build audience. Then we offer a free upgrade to some products. We talk about is when we record a fourth video. Three videos acquire audience. The second level, fourth video, and I script these videos for clients to kind of show them, this is how the videos work. I run it in all these markets. Just basically record yourself talking like this and be an expert in the industry and it will work. The fourth video is talking about a product. We could talk about, in roofing, you talk about roof vents. In decks, you talk about those little light caps. In home, like washing your house, you talk about washing windows and how it's a great time to do it. There's something for literally every home services business. If you're talking about snow shoveling, talk about clearing the deck. There's something for every home services business. You're doing a basement, add in a smart home device. It works everywhere. The fourth video is about a product, some kind of upgrade to the base level of service. Instead of talking about discounts, you're talking about upgrades and then giving away free upgrades, because you can usually price condition the value of an upgrade beyond the price of its actual product. A good example in the roofing industry is vents. Vents cost $250, but the value of having adequate ventilation on a house is thousands of dollars of either air conditioning bills saved over 25 years of the life of your roof, up to damages caused by humidity and condensation wrecking your house. The value of a vent, when you educate them first, is thousands. The price to give it to them for free is hundreds. If you just say right out of the gate, "Hey, I'll give you free vents if you buy a roof," they're going to go, "Well, how much is a vent? $200? That's not that good of a deal." But if you say, "Hey, these are vents. They're awesome. They save you thousands of dollars on your air conditioning bills over the life of your roof, plus they're going to prevent any kinds of damage from humidity and condensation. You know, these are really good things. You should know about those if you're ever planning on doing your house, wink wink." Then a week later when they see an ad for free vents if you get a roof done, they're going to go, "Holy smokes, are those vents? Those are awesome. We go to make sure we have those vents." This is how that answered that lead magnet question a few years later after getting made fun of by these guys. We're teaching first and selling second. You have to first educate people so they felt empowered to make a decision about something that otherwise, it's not sexy. They're not interested in roofing. They love having clean teeth. They love losing weight. They love a new car. Roofing is something you do when you have to. You never replace your roof 10 years early just because. Kathleen: The videos really drove people, and the upgrade offer was what drove people to the website. Adam: Right. So now, anybody who watches video four, so you're re-targeting the three videos audience. Anybody who watched those videos, engaged with one of those one to three videos, they've self-identified as homeowners. So now, because who watches a video about roofing if they're not interested in roofing in the near future? Not renters. Not people who are 10 years away from needing to replace a roof. If they're going to watch a four minute video about a roof when they could watch a Trump video or a cat video or whatever, they're self-identifying as people who might be interested in roofing and obviously homeowners, so then they're re-targeted with video four to make sure they have the knowledge to value the free upgrade offer that we're going to re-target them with. Then we re-target them with that offer. Now, anybody who lands on that page, we're then able to have their name and address and email address just from having landed on the page by running it against that waterfall, provided by data providers. Now, 24 hours later within this dashboard, we just send them a postcard with that offer, free vents. Now in addition to targeting them in real life, we're also doing it on ... Sorry, I guess I should say in addition to targeting them on Facebook, like is conventional, like we're all used to, we added that online thing, and now that, our statuses, I mean, we're matching people 30% to 60%, people who hit that site. We're getting 30% to 60% of them getting their name, address, phone number and email. Kathleen: Based on their IP address? Adam: There's a few different things. It's a bit of a proprietary thing, but there's a few different things that we use to do this. It's all legal and it's all Facebook terms of service legal and everything like that, but obviously you don't want to give away the secret sauce. There's going to be at least one really, really smart person out there listening to this podcast who I don't want them to figure it out just yet. I just got the numbers back this morning. We're getting, at the bottom, a 15% bump over running it without, up to 70% bump in conversions running this bump. Kathleen: Sorry, clarify that. You're getting the bump from running the campaign with the postcards? Adam: Yeah. Let's say we're running the ad in Halton, Burlington and Oakville in Ontario, right? Kathleen: Because you are from Canada, if somebody has not already picked that up by his Canadian accent, which I love. Adam: Say we're running ads there, or we've also ran this exact campaign in Minnesota. If we run this exact campaign to three cities, very similar income levels, very similar everything, similar home ages. All the demographics are the same. We run this 30 day roof booster as I've done it conventionally, and then we run that same 30 day roof booster in a neighborhood 30 kilometers away where it's very similar. 17 miles away, where everything about it is very similar, but you add in that re-targeting with the direct mail that's just automated. We have no minimum orders. That's the thing. Data providers are now allowing people to build stuff like this and buy this information and access this data without having to order a list of 10,000 people. You can then append this data in a small amount. Kathleen: You described it to me, just to be clear, you described it to me as literally everyone's traffic flow to their website is different. If I'm using this on my website, I might wake up tomorrow morning and have 10 people in my dashboard with their name, email and their address, and I could just push a button and have a postcard sent to them, or if I'm some other business who gets more traffic, I might wake up and have 150. It really doesn't matter. The point is whatever that number is from yesterday is the number that I get, no minimums, no maximums, and I can just automatically send them a postcard. Adam: Exactly. The next day you just say, "Here. These are the 17 people that we were able to match or the 1,700 people that we were able to match. We've uploaded your design, your front and back of your seven by eight postcard, or seven by ten or whatever your postcard size is. You just pick the names you want to do or select all. Boom. Send. It's going to be, hi, Adam Sand. Here's your free offer. Here's a thing. Call us now. You got your own call. We have our own call tracking numbers. Make it so that we can do attribution and all those things so we can actually test this, because this has all been one big, giant test for the last four months. With that, we've been getting on the low end 15%, on the high end, 70% bumps. Kathleen: 70? Seven zero? Adam: Seven zero. Now, those are extreme cases with really good offers. These are not save 10% kind of monkey, rinky dinky offers. These are real, tangible offers where everything went right. That's a video that I did where we really talk about the value of the roof upgrade, and I'm really good at these roof upgrade videos after doing so many of them, that when I produce the kind of content that I'm used to producing, we can really make it so people really value those vents. When people really value the vents because we did a kickass job at audience generation with the level one videos, and we did a kickass value build video where people really understand and appreciate the value, and then on top of that we then have a good ad running people to that page, yes, then you get the 70%. But when everything is kind of amateur and you're dealing with a client who's never recorded videos before, or they're very amateur at it, then you're getting the low end, the 15%, just by proxy. Just by the fact that you're hitting them again. And it's extremely, extremely cheap. Kathleen: Is that 15% more people that contract and purchase their roof, or is that 15% more people who say, "Come out, I want a quote from you?" Adam: 15% more people that say, "Come out, I want a quote from you." Kathleen: But with the cost of a single new roof sale, the ROI, I have to imagine, is astronomical on that. Adam: Basically, as long as you're not a complete moron in the construction industry and you have a half decent business, yeah. Your closing ratio should be 30% and you can pay $150, $200 a lead regularly every day. Actually, this is a real thing. Home Advisor charges $150 to send you a lead, and every time, you're one of three. Kathleen: Yeah. I was going to say I bought a new roof last year so I do know how much that costs and what that means to the company. It's a lot of money. Adam: Yeah. You're looking at 20%, 30% margins because there's a lot of stuff that goes wrong. On a per job basis, you need 25%, 20%, 30%. Some things even more, like air conditioning is big. Flat roofs are even more. There's a lot of things- Kathleen: Yeah. I have a flat roof up top on part of my house. This is giving me bad memories of the check I had to write from last year. Adam: But occasionally, those guys putting on a flat roof, some kid leaves a torch on the ground. Burns the whole building down, and now their insurance goes up $10,000 here. There's a reason for those margins. If you're running a good business and have half decent salespeople, I mean, on a pure margin basis, I mean, construction and home services businesses are regularly conditioned to paying $150 to $250 a lead. Not a sale, a lead, and those aren't even always exclusive. Agency partners like myself who have some experience with their business can deliver leads for $70, $17 or something like, you know, something in that range. Then all of a sudden things get a lot better, especially when it's coupled with inbound marketing strategies, such as using content to create value in the product, and not just being, "Hey, we do this and here's 10% off." That's weak, right? The Dope 360 Pixel Kathleen: Yeah. Let's back up and talk about kind of the mechanics of this. I think lots of my listeners are probably familiar with and have done Facebook advertising. They're familiar with using video to do it. They get the concept of creating top of the funnel videos, driving people back to your site, having an upgrade offer. Where it gets more complicated is this notion of the pixel that you're talking about. When you and I talked, I was saying to you, my big goal from the podcast is for people to feel like they can walk away and do some of the stuff themselves. When we were talking and you first told me this story, I was like, I don't know if this is good, because are people going to be able to do this? But you actually have commercialized this pixel. Talk a little bit more about that, and the fact that somebody doesn't have to know how to build this in order to do it. Adam: Yes, absolutely. Essentially this social enhancement program that me and Dope 360 is the pixel that we're calling it, have created this dashboard and commercialized this so you can put the Dope 360 pixel on there. The whole fleet of stuff that we're doing that we've done that just, we couldn't even get into this podcast about. There's some stuff in there that two years from now, it's probably going to get ruined, because the success rates will be ... We were talking about that in the original call. The disproportionate success with some of the stuff that we're doing with this is going to eventually get reeled back, but right now everything is Facebook terms of service legal. We've created this pixel and allowed people to append this data and put this on their site and get into this dashboard. Not only does it allow you to do all this offline print marketing, but you're also building up a much better list. I mean, you're getting people who have landed on your page. You're getting more information from them than you would get from your typical Facebook pixel, because again, the Facebook pixel, you're allowed to use ... in your cookie policy, you're allowed to say that we're getting data. We're getting re-targeting information. We're collecting user data from using this website. We're going to retain it for X period of time. We don't have GDPR in Canada or the US yet. We're allowed to take this information. Then the fact that users voluntarily share this information with us means that you can then create a custom audience of these people who visit your website. You've got their name, their email, their home address. You've got this information. This is essentially an offline event set. Kathleen: You built the pixel, but what you're essentially providing to the user, does that include then the dashboard that delivers the addresses? Adam: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Absolutely. Kathleen: You talked about how you have a fulfillment house that's willing to do small batch orders. Is that included, the mailing? Adam: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Absolutely. When you get into the dashboard, and obviously we're rolling this out. We've been rolling this out gently to some people that we know, or to big franchises who wanted to run tests. We're slowly rolling this out to some agency partners, but essentially right now today, if I was talking to the right kind of agency, it's like, yeah, yeah. Free access to the dashboard. Put these pixels on your clients' website, and then you just pay for the fulfillment. You get the data for pennies. We're talking five to 15 cents per hit. You're talking nothing as far as running it against that waterfall. Five to 15 pennies and you're getting an enormous amount of data on the customer. Then the fulfillment, again, you're talking pennies. Nothing is a dollar. We're talking pennies. Some of the printing, some of the printing- Kathleen: Right, but you're going to have that regardless if you're doing postcards. Adam: Exactly. The pixel is free right now. If the right person is around, the dashboard is free. The data costs pennies, and the printing and fulfillment, the mail and delivery targeting is pennies, because again, nobody is doing this yet. All these companies that offer ... This information is available to Ford. It's available to IBM. These people have, they have the ability to directly partner with Axiom and Epsilon and all these other huge data providers. Right now the little guy doesn't have access to it. This is our way of getting access to it ourselves. We've built it for ourselves. Then essentially we're rebuilding the investment and the time and the testing and the energy by eventually rolling this out to US agency partners or to US clients. It's been a very, very cool journey, but I have to say that now that the consumer market is kind of used to being re-targeted online, they're getting, I guess, maybe slightly desensitized to it, but the psychology still works. It's just I guess the competition for re-targeting is just gone up, so the cost of getting ad performance has gone up, but because of the success of digital marketing, the cost of print and direct mail and all that kind of stuff has gone way, way, way down. The competition is way, way, way down. The number of junk mail you get is way, way, way down. When you can combine the timing, the personalization, the relevance of online digital marketing such as Facebook by re-targeting them with an offer based on some content that they've seen, which you can't do with direct mail right now. You just kind of say, "Yeah, give everybody in this postal code this offer and see if it works." Now you can say, "Send the person who watched this video and this video and went to this page, send them this postcard for this offer." When you can do that and then give that tangible thing in their hands, at least in home services, we're seeing a conversion rate that's almost like cheating. Kathleen: Yeah. That's great. It's funny too, timing-wise, because I just interviewed Oli Bilson, who's an amazing marketer. And he talked about combining digital with postcards and direct mail for a- Adam: Really? I never... I started listening to that one, but I didn't get a chance to get it fully done. Kathleen: Yeah, it wasn't exactly the same way you've done it, but he just talked about how direct mail is a part of his process for driving people to events, and how effective it was. I think it's one of those things that digital marketers can... It's very easy to brush off direct mail and think it shouldn't be a part of your process, but there still is definitely a role for it. Reducing The Cost Per Lead Kathleen: What I'm interested in hearing a little bit more from you about is the actual math and the ROI. So you talked about how roofers are used to paying $150 a lead. When you use this kind of an approach, how far down can you get the cost per lead for them? Adam: Again, so a lot of this has been preliminary testing, so there's still... We're still talking hundreds of thousands of impressions. We're seeing success in the range of, I want to be over zealous, I would say $70 a lead is easy. Kathleen: So like about half? Adam: Yeah, easily half. $70 a lead is easy. I mean, have we had small campaigns where I did the content for my company and yeah we got much lower? Yeah, sure, but I want to talk about what I was able to... What we were able to get for people within a variety of industries who didn't have the experience in digital marketing and knowing how to create a video that was really effective on Facebook, or more so hey this is the kind of video we need to do, and they could create the kind of content we're kid of looking for. We go, "eh it's okay." Those guys, we're able to get cut in half. We were able to cut the lead cost in half and more importantly, we're exclusive and they're nurtured clients. It's not like a lead from Home Advisor where you're one of three contractors that's being contacted where Home Advisor is the protective person, and they're giving you to three contractors of which are the best of the crappy bunch. Where it's not like oh, you're on Yelp or Angie's List or something like that, or just another Google ad click. It's not a conversion based on a Google ad click, remarketing thing on Adsense where they saw a picture for 10% off. I mean, this is a person who has watched at least two videos of you or someone with your company talking about your service and your product, and building value in some kind of upgrade that now they're getting for free. And the cost to providing that upgrade we target to be around 5% of the total price of the service, which is dramatically less than the usual offers which are 10, 15, 25% off early season special type stuff, right? Measuring ROI Kathleen: And the cool thing about what you did was that the postcard goes out in such a timely fashion, especially if it's in the local area that you're hitting them at that point of highest interest. So, from a ROI standpoint, earlier you talked about how adding the postcard into the mix, you already had a good formula with your videos, and then you add the postcard into the mix and that an improve results by anywhere from 17 to 70%. But when you look big picture at the ROI, taking the investment that a company has to make into a campaign such as this versus the return that they can potentially see, any ballpark data there? Adam: Yeah. Essentially, one campaign, $7,000 including marketing agency fees. I guess you should look at is as $2,500 ad spend, $2,000 in data and print and mailing. The whole thing where as far as like the hard cost, not including management, $5,000, $4,500. That there you're looking at 113 opportunities. I mean, the client reported that they're getting around 30% as far as closing rates show. Average ticket price, $8,000. Average margin, 20%. Oh, a puppy. Kathleen: Oh, there goes my dogs. Adam: No problem. So then you're looking around, let's say, 30 sold opportunities at a $2,000 profit margin. So when you're looking at $60,000 in profit... What is that? 130 times 80, or 30 times 8,000. What's that? Kathleen: I'm glad you're doing math so I don't have to. That's why I'm a marketer. Adam: $240,000 as revenue and then $60,000 in profit off of roughly a $5,000 or $4,500 hard cost in. And then your management fees if you're not doing it yourself, right? Kathleen: Well, by any standard, that's a pretty incredible ROI. Adam: That's why I tell more people that they should stop trying to get... They should stop joining the bandwagon of people going after dentists and yoga studios, and maybe try looking at helping the construction industry, because they're good hard working people and they need our help. Kathleen: Yeah, I've always said, especially with the economy they way it's been the past several years, it's almost worth if I could go back and do college over. Instead of doing college I might become a plumber or an electrician, because if you're in that trade and you know what you're doing, and you show up on time, I think there's a gold mine to be made. Adam: Cream rises... We always say the cream rises to the top. We don't have to be perfect. We just have to be less crappy. Kathleen: That's exactly right. Or what is that? It's like the equivalent of if you're being chased by a lion, just run faster than the next guy. Adam: Right. I mean, it is not... The competition is there, but it is not... I mean, we're not talking about the competition amongst dentists or realtors or personal trainers. The competition in the construction industry is lower just because less people want to do it. Less people want to be a roofer, or a siding washer, or a gutter cleaner, or an ice dam remover, or all these different kinds of businesses. Not a lot of people want to pour concrete or do landscaping. It's hard work, but because it's hard work you don't want to do it yourself. So you have to pay someone else to do it. And if you want to pay someone else to do it then you got to make sure you're paying the right price or else they're going to screw up your house and now you're going to have to redo it. It's a business where there is... It is a good business to be in. And the problem with this industry has been frequently client acquisition. How to stand out. How to present a unique selling point, your unique market position. How do you get customers to value your time? How do you get customers to appreciate the fact that you promised good quality? Well, you can't do any of that with a yellow pages ad, or a Google ad, or... I mean, you can try and run a flyer and jam a bunch of information from people, but they're just going to go, "Ah, too long. Didn't read," and they're going to move on to the next thing. By using the content strategies that I've learned over the last five years in teaching, in my case, roofers, and in my partner's case, a variety of home services industries, how to actually drive traffic using these specific video scripts that are two to four minutes long that all of a sudden make people pop down a funnel and then come out the bottom and educate a consumer that values your time; Then all of a sudden your prices are going up 30% in your market because people are willing to pay an extra 10, 15, 20% for a contractor knowing that they're not going to burn your house down, destroy your lawn, wreck your house, or cause you to have to call them back time and time again for you to not answer. These are huge, huge pain points and concerns for home owners, so home owners are willing to pay the price, especially if they're planning on living in their home. So if you can help customers understand what to value, and then empower them to make it an educated decision through a little bit of free content that you record once and put out at scale at digital, and then use the power of Facebook, and then use the power of the Dope 360 Pixels who really hammer them with your value proposition and your upgrade offers... This is not tough stuff. This is just simple marketing. Kathleen: Cool. Well, I love the whole system. It sounds super interesting, and there's a clear ROI case there for adding some old school direct mail back into your inbound campaigns. Kathleen's Two Questions Kathleen: Before we wrap up I want to ask you the two questions that I ask all my guests. I'm curious to hear what you have to say. One of them is: When it comes to inbound marketing, company or individual, who do you think is really killing it right now? Adam: Well, I hate her politically, and I'm sure I'll split the tide on this one, but AOC. I can't stand her policies, but that girl is killing it. I mean, she's got Netflix going on. I'm like, when you asked the question I really thought long and hard about it. I was like who am I going to say? Am I going to say Nike? Am I going to say Ford? Or am I going to talk about somebody everybody else has talked about? And I thought who is really killing it right now? And I said someone who I don't like that's constantly in my ear and constantly gets my attention, and constantly keeps challenging me to think about cauliflowers being a racist vegetable. That is someone who's killing it with inbound marketing, because she is using content marketing. She is using digital. She's using Twitter. She's even got her own Netflix special. Kathleen: She has a strong Twitter game, I'll give her that for sure. Adam: She's the one that's battling the other guy that's got the best Twitter game, President Trump who she goes up against every other day. I mean, I know I'm from Canada so I got no horse in the race either way, but I got to say if you want to see someone who is doing a good job at communicating online and using it to attract people to her thing she will very likely be, as much as I'm not a very big fan of her, she will very likely be a person who could challenge a presidency at some point. And she'll say, "I'm not showing up to a debate. Debate me online. I'm not showing up to a debate, living within the structure that was pre agreed upon by a bunch of stodgy old white pale stale men and we'll just go... No, I'm just going to run on my campaign and I'll get voted in and I'll win." Kathleen: I love that example. You're the first guest I've had to name a politician in that answer, and I love it. I am not afraid for people to stir the pot a little, so bring it. All right, that's a great one. Another question is, and this is particularly interesting with you because again you're not necessarily a marketer by trade, you're more of an entrepreneur, but you've become quite a savvy self taught marketer, so with the world of digital marketing changing so quickly... You know, everyone always describes it like drinking from a fire hose. How do you stay up to date and educate yourself about all this stuff? Adam: Obviously I have a podcast on... I listen to podcasts because I'm always trying to stay educated on that. I would say that I frequently listen to a lot of podcasts, right? I love the... What is it? The Marketing School podcast. I always have all the staples like everybody else, like the Gary Vee Show and stuff like that. But then some industry specific ones, things that are more going to for the things like me, like The Roofer Show and Roofers Coffee Shop. And then I find some gems. You know what I mean? Something like your podcast. I listened to a couple of episodes in the last few days and it's been interesting. I mean, for me, I try and just really wander the field a lot with podcasts because it's an environment where people are forced into knowing their stuff, right? Because you're now trying to communicate... You're trying to communicate a subject where you don't have the power of video, you don't have any infographics, you don't have an animation, you don't have a PDF, you don't have anything to work with. And then people are on the other end with just their ears, and you have to try and convey ideas about something that for a large part is pretty dry, right? I mean, compared to some other stuff. It's not Sportsnet, it's not... But you can... The things that I've learned... I mean, what we're doing with this direct mail stuff... I mean, we didn't invent this stuff. We took it from real estate and from big box retail. And we just found a way to make it work for home services and use the technology. A lot stuff that I use for my marketing has come from personal trainers and people like Gary Vaynerchuk. I learn stuff from Amy Porterfield, which is what webinars, and I learned... I take little tips from every different type of marketing and try and expose myself to new ideas because sometimes you run into a good idea that's like huh, I wonder if that'll work in the home sales niche, or the home services niche. The amount of stuff I've ripped off from realtors because their industry has got to constantly be super super competitive, super cutting edge. I steal stuff from realtors al the time because there are a few things that work for me. They're high competition. They deal with home owners. And their super high margin, high price type stuff that are focused around a knowledge difference, or a knowledge incompetence. That's me. That's podcasts. And that's a lot of showing up in a lot of different places. Kathleen: I like that tip of sort of observing adjacent industries that maybe cater to the same audience and taking a page out of their playbooks. Some of the best marketers I know are just really keen observers, so that's great. Adam: An unexamined life isn't worth leading, right? How to Connect With Adam Kathleen: Exactly. So if someone's listening to this and wants to learn more about you or do the work you do or is intrigued by the Pixel and wants to learn more about that, what's the best way for them to get more information online? Adam: They can find me as Adam Sand pretty much anywhere, but when you Google that that comes up with a lot of Adam Sandler stuff, which is great for all the stuff I did in my younger years growing up, washing that down the drain. But then you can also do Roofing Business Partner, so you can hit me up on roofingbusinesspartner.com and generally I have a lot of different little PDFs and blueprints that people can download to implement a lot of the stuff that I talk about here. And then if they want to talk to me more there, they're going to know how to reach me. Kathleen: Great. Well, thanks so much, Adam. Adam: It's not hard to find on the internet. I mean, this has been a really fun experience and you're a hell of an interviewer so thank you so much for... Kathleen: Aw, you're very sweet. Thank you so much. I will take all the compliments and I love hearing them, as I said, in your Canadian accent. I'm a fan. Adam: Thank you. You Know What To Do Next... Kathleen: It's awesome. Well, I appreciate you sharing all of this with us and I'll put the links in the show notes for how you can reach Adam, so check that out. And if you are listening and you learn something new and liked what you heard, of course I would always appreciate a new five star review on iTunes for the podcast, or rather Apple Podcasts. And if you know somebody else who's doing kick ass marketing work tweet me at workmommywork because I would love to interview them. Thanks, Adam. Adam: Hey, thank you.
While Adam arrives late, Matt & Anna arrive on time to talk about the NHL Stanley Cup Final between the Boston Bruins & St. Louis Blues. Plus they give the World Championship a whirl to talk about Troy from Richmond coming back with a silver medal And with the season soon coming to a close, the trade rumour mill is working itself into a tizzy with all sorts of players tied to the Canucks. Oh, and there's draft talk. There's always draft talk.
“Father, into your hands, I commend my spirit.” The Reverend Dr. Johanna Wagner contemplates how the story of Jesus’ Crucifixion has so many characters who are hiding. Pilate and the members of the crowd are hiding their intentions & identities, while other characters are hiding behind humor and sarcasm. In that sense, this story is a "darkening" of Adam & Eve's story. While Adam & Eve hide due to shame, the Crucifixion story is about hiding so that we do not have to feel shame. There are always ways to hide our blame, to hide our shame; The Reverend prays that we may grow in self-awareness to recognize the times we may want to harm others.
Can an Unlicensed Drone Pilot Fly Under the Supervision of a 14 CFR Part 107 Licensed Pilot? In today's show, we discuss IF an unlicensed drone pilot can fly under the supervision of a 14 CFR Part 107 licensed pilot. If yes, what are the dangers of doing so? Our caller, Adam, is wondering if a 14 CFR Part 107 license is necessary for commercial drone pilots. Adam's peers informed him that he could fly without a drone license, as long as a licensed pilot supervises him. Tempted at the prospect of saving his Part 107 test cost, Adam is wondering if he should take this easy way out. While Adam is permitted to fly without a drone license, Paul and Rob share why this could prove to be a disastrous decision. Will your drone insurance provider honor your claim if you are flying without a drone license? And, how do you ensure that you are buying the right drone insurance which will provide you adequate coverage? Listeners will also learn about 14 CFR Part 107 conditions for unlicensed drone pilots flying under the supervision of licensed Part 107 pilots. Thanks for the great question, Adam. Fly safe!

The long awaited (kinda) conclusion of M.Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable trilogy *cough*cashgrab*cough* brought some mixed emotions to the crew. While Adam, who was actually excited to witness the story come to a head, Pat was more inclined to begrudgingly tolerate this twist-laden mess. Mostly built off a limited cache of goodwill brought on by James McAvoy's brilliant acting in "Split." That can only get you so far though... was it far enough for M.Night to recapture a place in our hearts? (Spoiler: No) 2000's Unbreakable and 2016's Split come together in this comic-book-like thriller: Glass. From Unbreakable, Bruce Willis returns as security guard David Dunn, who uses his supernatural abilities to track criminals, as does Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price, known also by his pseudonym Mr. Glass, in an entirely new position. Joining from Split are James McAvoy, reprising his role as Kevin Wendell Crumb and the multiple identities who reside within, and Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke, the only captive to survive an encounter with The Beast. Following the conclusion of Split, Glass finds Dunn pursuing Crumb's superhuman figure of The Beast in a series of escalating encounters, while the shadowy presence of Price emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men. Yes, it's as grandiose as it sounds.
We begin a study of Faith by going back to the beginning of the story. In the Genesis of creation the source of all things was God. The human response to God began with Adam and Abraham. While Adam's consciousness attempted to be like God, Abraham's consciousness moved him to depend on God. We look at the Genesis of faith as a concept whose trajectory will find fullness in Christ.
Adam Kownacki, Will Madera & DeAndre Ware are scheduled to appear. All three of these young pugilists were victorious in their last fights, all three did it on televised bouts. Both Madera & Ware were considered underdogs. Madera took the fight on short notice. Ware took a big step in the right direction. While Adam was the favorite, few expected him to defeat Gerald Washington easier than Big Baby Miller & Deontay Wilder. Tune in to hear what they have to say about their victories, as well as their future. Boxing News. Anthony George AKA Zute is your host.
Dr. Roto and Adam Ronis open the show with the guys questioning if, outside of not wanting to see the Patriots again, there is any reason to not watch the Super Bowl. While Adam thinks everyone watches the Super Bowl, Dr. Roto says he understands if Chiefs or Saints fans do not watch this game due to the blatant bad calls that kept their teams out of Atlanta. Dr. Roto thinks the Rams defense can stop the Patriots run game, specifically stopping Sony Michel. The biggest fear for the Rams that Dr. Roto brings up is the inexperience of Goff, but Adam reminds him that Goff got past the craziness that was the Saints fans in the Superdome. The guys finish the hour looking at some fantasy baseball players to look at in 2019 drafts. #FNTSY #NFL #MLB #Saints #Rams #Chiefs #SuperBowl #Patriots

“Love brought me back to where I needed to be. If I didn’t have people that loved me and cared about me, I probably wouldn’t be alive.” ~Adam So many families believe that if they can fix that one person that seems to need the most help, then the whole family dynamic will be fixed as well. Adam and Lindsay Yurack understood that this concept was far from the truth. While Adam was going through his rehabilitation, Lindsay sought her own therapy, allowing both of them to come out of their darkest times together stronger than ever. Join Jeff as Adam and Lindsay share their inspiring journey together to overcome Adam’s addiction, and a few key points such as: Lindsay’s understanding that they both had to do the work to rebuild their relationship, how Adam’s family’s love and connection saved his life, and what the family structure that they have built together looks like to continue to support and withstand the trials of recovery.

Several years back Adam Jacoby called upon his considerable experience as a seasoned entrepreneur to kick-start the democratic movement that is MiVote. As founder and chief steward of MiVote, Adam is responsible for spearheading positive word-of-mouth for the movement and articulating the concept via social media, traditional media and the stage. In this open and frank interview with Trevor Young, Adam explains how MiVote uses online and offline communications tactics to build visibility and influence across the globe, and how he manages his personal brand on social media versus the brand that is MiVote. While Adam has spoken at Davos and met with heads of state, it wasn't all that long ago that MiVote kicked off publicly in humble surroundings - a coffee morning event at a well-known South Melbourne cafe that attracted just five people. Tune in to find out how Adam and the team have managed to come so far in such a short space of time? Check out MiVote here - http://mivote.org.au/
While Adam, Brian, and Matt were away from their restaurant in Toronto, Ontario, they left an interesting sign on the door. It said, "ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. Key management staff are away on holiday. You may encounter: -Extra Long Lineups -Carefree Attitudes -Horrible Music Choices -Stressed out Asst. Manager Now if that's not leaving the place in style, I don't know what is. As far as style, these guys have thousands who have come for their BBQ and thousands more, including me, who have this as a key stop on their list. Why is Adamson BBQ such an important part of the BBQ world? Because, as Wayne Mueller spreads the gospel in his way, Adam and the rest of the crew cook in possibly the coldest place to get Texas BBQ, Canada. What started as a food truck in 2013 is now a destination for people all over the world. Just a quick scroll of Adamson's social media can tell you that. They've got thousands of posts and tens of thousands of delighted followers. Their platters look like they were made in Texas and their desserts look that way too. They don't care about fine dining or table service. What the Adamson guys are spreading is the true Texas style. Many of their first customers had to learn to share a large platter on peach paper. The butcher paper spread doesn't come naturally to those outside of Texas, let alone Canadians. None of these obstacles hindered Adam and his team. They continue to serve moist brisket, turkey, ribs, amazing sides and even beef ribs. Their BBQ looks world class and I can't wait to sink my teeth into it. For now, I have to be satisfied just having a conversation with them. These guys were too nice. They were so thankful to be in Texas and spent 6 days packing in all the BBQ they could eat. As true #meatmen I first ran into them at Snow's and we made friends over huge platters of BBQ. I am grateful for them taking the time to talk to the show RIGHT before they had to leave for the airport. Thank you to the entire Adamson team and we can't wait to take the show to Canada and have some of the Best BBQ in Canada, Texas style. You can find Adamson BBQ on: Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter Website As always, follow us on social media and tag @bestbarbecue in your #meatman photos!!!!

Cloudbeds co-founder Adam Harris lost sleep so you could sleep better. When you hear the name “Cloudbeds” you’re more likely to think of a Tempur-Pedic competitor than a tech startup. More so, when you think tech startup, you’re probably more likely to think Silicon Valley than San Diego. Well, think again. Stopping by the Behind the Smoke podcast (now called Digital Hospitality) to talk with hosts Shawn Walchef and Derek Marso, Cloudbeds co-founder Adam Harris and his team are changing the narrative of the tech industry and the hospitality space in Southern California through the click of your smartphone. Like most startups, it all began with a light bulb moment. “We started the idea of Cloudbeds in my condo back in 2012,” recalls Adam. “We had the idea to professionalize small independent hospitality. We've all stayed in a bed and breakfast and boutique hotels are my favorite place to stay. Still, a lot of times small business owners don't have the right tools to help them reach new guests. So, somewhere along the lines we were like, ‘Let's build a platform.’” That platform of course is Cloudbeds. While the tech startup space is often sold as fast and sleek, Adam and his team decided to seduce a more dated space. His approach? “Let's go into the most unsexy industry that hasn't changed in 25 years,” laughs Adam. “Let’s build something from the ground up so that we give these tools to, in spirit, make the world a little bit more welcome place.” That is exactly what Adam and his team did: offer improved resources to the boutique hotel and bed and breakfast industry for better digital hospitality. So, at this point, you know who started Cloudbeds, why it was started and where it was founded. But just exactly what does Cloudbeds do? We’ll let Adam handle that. “Cloudbeds is a connector into all the point of sales that we commonly use,” explains Adam. “AirBnB, HomeAway, Booking.com, Expedia, things like that. So, it doesn't matter where the guest is shopping, we're reaching real time inventory. Just like Amazon makes it easy to buy products anywhere in the world with the click of a button, we did the same thing on the hotel side. We've got about 202 employees and as of today, we’re in 31 countries around the world.” The Amazon of finding a place to stay in 31 different countries? Maybe the idea was a little sexier than Adam gave it credit for. As alluded, the reach of Cloudbeds has made the company and its clientele international. As expected, this all came from investing in their staff. “We're very focused on our employee,” Adam notes. “We love our staff. We invest in our staff because our formula is people first, customers second, business third. We take care of our employee. We invest in them. We give them the accountability, responsibility and empowerment to do well. They're going to take care of the customer naturally, and if they take care of the customer, they're going to take care of the business.” Taking care of business is exactly what the Cloudbeds team does. Serving an international consumer requires the Cloudbeds staff to dive deep into the cultural norms and values of each area they serve around the world. “We have 31 countries,” begins Adam. “That's a lot of people. We think about the diversity of all those individuals and the cultural differences. We've had to retrain ourselves and our thought because we want that diversity -- that's what makes us special. It's really grounded us as individuals to be more inclusive and also have more of a global mindset.” Going global did not happen overnight and it did not happen alone. While Adam has turned Cloudbeds into a large-scale operation with over 200 employees and international reach, it was built like any startup you see today. First with an idea and then with funding. “Over a year, we raised $1 Million,” Adam says on early funding. “That’s a meaningful amount of money.”
THE GRAPHIC CONTENT PODCAST IS BACK WITH ITS FIRST SHOW FOR 2018! (Sorry for the ALL CAPS, I was somewhat excited) And we thought what better way to kick the year in pop culture off was with our review of the newest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Black Panther! While Adam was away on assignment, Jim was joined by returning guest Manny Gomez of One-Eyed Art as well as Jim's former partner-in-podcasting, rising voiceover talent Damon Alums marks his debut in the high-tech Graphic Content Studio! We hope you join us for this spoiler-filled conversation between three old friends about what is arguably one of the most anticipated movies of the decade!
We're talking about remakes, remasters and recurrent nightmares. What would we like to see remade? Katharine wouldn’t mind a spruced up Deus Ex. Brendan thinks a rejigged Assassin’s Creed could work (how perverse). While Adam doesn’t want any of his loves remade, lest they pollute his fond memories (OK, maybe Pathologic 2). However, the real question is what games from today will be remade in the distant future?

What does the process of creating cityscape and landscape art entail? How do those artists choose their locations? What does it even look like to create a portable studio? My guest, Adam Harrison is a cityscape and landscape artist who paints on location and lives in Santa Monica. Adam’s paintings range from four to six FEET! In our conversation, we talk about Adam’s process and strategy, how he connects with the public who live around his various locations, and so much more! I can’t wait for you to hear from Adam’s unique perspective and get the chance to view images of his artwork located at the end of this post. The first approach to painting outside and on location. What is it like taking your studio outside for the first time? What lessons do you learn in the process? My guest, Adam Harrison was kind enough to open up and share with me his first experience going outside and on location to start a project. Adam says that on his first outing, he carried two 4ft by 4ft panels made out of a quarter inch birchwood plywood, his studio easel, a lawn chair, a glass pallet, and a couple of reusable bags full of odds and ends. Can you imagine the scene? He took this setup to the Dodger Stadium area where he would end up spending the next year creating his first landscape work. From this experience, Adam came away with a lot of lessons, most notably, making sure to pack sunscreen next time. What can you take away from Adam’s story? What have been your experiences painting outside? The benefit of having a deadline. One of the most important things for any creative individual to find out about themselves is how they are motivated. Are you internally motivated and find that you can hit goals and benchmarks that you hold yourself too? Or are you more externally motivated and thrive when you set yourself up with deadlines that other people are counting on? My guest, Adam Harrison shared with me that he operates out of external motivation. Once he realized this, Adam was able to set up external deadlines and benchmarks that others would be dependent on, and this allowed Adam to thrive. Which process works best for you? The process of picking a motif. How do you pick your projects and motifs? Do you find inspiration in the settings around you or do you like to branch out and look past the familiar? Artist Adam Harrison has developed three “Have to’s” in his process that helps him pick his motifs. These are the three criteria he uses when he starts a painting. A sense of “Wonder” or “Wow.” Something that blows him away, that he loves looking at. Does this image resonate? Does he continue to think about it days and weeks later? How practical is it to get in front of the image on a weekly or daily basis? Adam says that these criteria have been instrumental in helping him filter through all the options and ideas that he comes across to pick the right one for him to spend his time on. What has worked for you? What are your criteria for picking a motif? How predictable patterns and habits lead to success. What habits and practices have contributed to your growth and success as an artist? Are you still looking for those patterns that will help unlock your creativity? My guest, Adam Harrison was candid enough to share with me some of the daily practices and habits have led to his success as an artist. Adam points to his practice of having between 5-7 paintings that he works on throughout the week that allows him the freedom and flexibility to create wherever his work week takes him. While Adam’s approach may not be for everyone, it is really fascinating to get his take and the creative journey and how he discovered what works for him. Outline of This Episode [1:30] I introduce my guest, Adam Harrison. [3:30] Adam talks about how he got started as an artist. [5:30] Artists that influenced Adam early on.

This podcast series is devoted to sharing good teaching practice at Gardens Elementary School which is located on the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology campus in Saudi Arabia. At GES, our student population is multi-cultural, diverse, enthusiastic, engaging and confident. They are also fun loving and happy. Through the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) we provide opportunities for students to develop an understanding of essential concepts, skills, knowledge and attitudes that will enable them to be lifelong learners. Our students are actively involved in authentic inquiry-based learning across all the curriculum areas. They develop confidence in their abilities, think for themselves, question, express their opinions and respect the opinions of others. As students learn to reflect on their learning, they become critical thinkers. We encourage students to voice their ideas and to take action to improve the school and the community. Student achievement and progress is shared through regular assemblies, parent conferences, open houses and activities aimed at making the school a stimulating center for the community. Episode One is with Adam Reid Adam’s Bio: Adam Reid is an international educator and learner, originally from Canada and currently working at TKS in Saudi Arabia. He has worked with the PYP curriculum for the last 8 years and has taught in many countries, including Angola, Egypt, Canada and the Czech Republic. While Adam continually works to improve as an educator, two areas he is particularly passionate about are mathematical learning and the construction of positive learning environments. Establishing The Importance of a Growth Mindset In today’s episode, Adam shares how he has started the year off by focusing on creating a classroom culture that embraces a growth mindset. Adam walks us through the first few lessons of the year and how he had his students co-construct what a growth mindset means and how they can support each other by understanding that failure and mistakes are a critical part of each student’s learning journey. Adam also shares specific ways that he and his students have established norms related to better supporting one another with their learning throughout the year.

Jeannie and Adam discuss microchipping employees with RFID devices and how this tech may affect culture and the customer experience. Microchipping employees RFID tags are everywhere, from the microchips that help deter theft in retail settings to those that help us locate lost pets. But employers are taking this technology to another level by microchipping employees. And although it’s a voluntary procedure (for now?) many employees are opting in for the conveniences that come with having this tiny bundle of circuits injected beneath the skin. “We exchange convenience for privacy all the time…” -Adam Toporek And as this tech continues to develop, we are faced with the possibility of requiring customers to allow microchipping as a condition of doing business. This raises many questions… While Adam and Jeannie see very much potential for RFID technology, they also have big concerns about how this may affect the customer experience as well as company culture. “It’s not just with them in the office!” -Jeannie Walters What do you need to know about RFID technology as an employer, and what questions should you ask yourself before exploring the options that are available today? More importantly, what does an RFID-enabled workplace mean for the future? Take off your tin foil hat for 15 minutes and listen in!

We're celebrating a full four years of the Sea Hawkers Podcast this week, and we have a former Super Bowl Champion long snapper coming on the show to help celebrate this week. Clint Gresham has a new book coming out called, Becoming: Loving the Process to Wholeness. He talks about some of the events that inspired him to write the book and he's still ready to play if he's called on to return to the team. Outside of the interview, Clint tells us that there's a portion of the book the team wasn't comfortable with helping to promote. Before we get to the interview, the guys talk about their expectations for the 2017 Seattle Seahawks as they go into their first preseason game this weekend against the Los Angeles Chargers. While they both expect the run game to improve, Brandan thinks it will lead to some big numbers in the passing game. While Adam expects the defense to return to form and once again lead the NFL in scoring defense, Brandan expects a former All-Pro player to drop from that level. The guys also get into some of the latest training camp news from this past week. Coach Carroll is really excited by the team's third-round cornerback and their top offensive lineman is getting extra reps this week because of a punch thrown by Frank Clark. Rounding out the news on the top picks from 2017, Malik McDowell is heading home to rest even though he feels fine. Coach Carroll explains that his injury is going to require him to rest and will likely miss the first game of the season and beyond. Kenny Easley was inducted into the Hall of Fame this week, and he has a message for the 12s when he returns to town for the Seahawks second home game this year. A listener asks which players from the Pete Carroll and John Schneider era we can expect to see in the Hall of Fame in the future. The show concludes with a group of office workers who were willing to have chips implanted into their bodies for functions normally handled by a piece of plastic and a do better for the Dallas Cowboys for cutting a player for a case of mistaken identity. Better at life nods go to the Dolphins for solidifying Adam's rooting interest against the team, and to the 12s Helping 12s group for making a special moment happen at the Pro Bowl between a Hall of Famer and a long-time Seahawks super fan.

VHSRewind.com Presents: Walnut GroveCast - Episode 14 Here Come the Brides For this episode of Walnut GroveCast I am joined by Susan King! Bare-foot bumpkin Luke Sims and his hunky dad Adam, arrive in Walnut Grove. Adam is a pig farmer, (and according to Willie, “he raises hogs too”…. as will be evident at the Olson’s dinner table when Luke joins them for a meal) Adam and son stop by the schoolhouse so that Luke can get some book learnin’ and have a “women’s touch” in his life. We discover Adam is a widower and Miss Beadle instantaneously has the hots for him. Not knowing her history, Luke takes a shine to Nellie and their relationship progresses. Harriet catches them out late one night and seeks Miss Beadle’s help in stopping their romance as it is effecting Nellie's school work. Miss Beadle protests at first but quickly realizes this is a great opportunity to see hunky Adam again Luke decides to buy Nellie a ring for her birthday, using Mary to assist him, misunderstandings galore occur with Nellie angry telling her mother to “SHUT UP” as she explains to Nellie that “ Luke bought a ring for Mary and men are fickle as weather vanes”. Luke shows up at the door on her birthday with presents in tow and the misunderstanding is cleared up. Luke, Nellie, Adam and Miss Eva Beadle spend time together picnicking, etc. and Adam proposes to Eva. She wants to think about it because of her age and school responsibilities. While pondering Adams proposal, Nellie asks Ms. Beadle about marriage (Age etc.) Miss B thinks she is talking about her, but in reality, she is contemplating Luke’s proposal to her. Both Nellie and Eva decide to wed the Sims men, Eva telling Adam in a sweet moment at his house, Nellie, and Luke grabbing a suitcase, hopping on the Oleson’s buckboard and driving to sleepy-eye to elope. Hilarity ensues as Adam, Ms. Beadle and the Oleson’s (with a rifle in tow) track them down to a hotel. Harriet’s request? “Nels, make her a widow!” They all go back to the JP and Nellie and Luke get “unmarried”. While Adam and Ms. Beadle are there at the JP, they decide to marry….and with the exception of the JP and his wife who have been continuously awoken all night long…they live happily ever after.

Join host, Greg Carlwood, of The Higherside Chats podcast as he talks freedom, self-governance, and dissolving the State, with guest, Adam Kokesh. While we are all acutely aware of the uphill battle that must be fought in order to overcome the constant combat to our consciousness, many may differ on the best possible solutions to solve such a severe crisis. Yes, indeed there is a battle being waged throughout multiple fronts that appears hopelessly inescapable- from the systemic indoctrination through the school systems, to the wage slave scheme, it is painfully obvious that we are living in a broken system designed to indenture the masses- and while recognizing these oppressive inadequacies may be the first step on the road to recovery, what comes next is another thing. Today's guest, Adam Kokesh, has been a resolute figurehead of the Libertarian movement. As the author of "FREEDOM!", and host of the popular show "Adam Vs. The Man", Kokesh has been a passionate activist upon his return from the Iraq War. Today, Kokesh joins The Higherside to educate us on the violent role of the federal government and detail how he believes a society rooted in personal responsibility is the most viable option to restore freedom and circumvent oppression. 2:22 As an activist, author and champion of causes ranging from Iraq Veterans Against the War to gun rights, Kokesh has a rich and complex history of advocacy. Greg and Adam begin by walking through a few experiences that helped set him on a path to activism. Adam explains, his experience of Libertarianism began as far back as high school, slowly proliferated into a more philosophical perspective, and eventually expanded into an ethical examination of our society and political system. Kokesh also elaborates on how his military experience facilitated his disenfranchisement, the circumstances that lead to his 2010 Congressional campaign, and the inspiration behind his book "FREEDOM!". 9:42 Adam discusses how his activism landed him in jail. He begins by elaborating on the catalyst that put him on the radar, his Youtube video "Freedom Plaza", in which he loads a shotgun in close proximity to the White House. As a passionate proponent of gun rights, Kokesh articulates on how he believes matters such as gun control should be decided and what the future holds for technological advances in weaponry. 14:37 Greg and Adam debate the merits of gun rights and whether gun control should be deemed a violent policy, or if the very presence of weapons can be considered an act of aggression. 19:50 Despite understanding the elite's agenda to create a fearful and obedient society, using false flags and coordinated acts of terrorism being sold as random chaos, escaping the campaign of mass manipulation can be difficult. And, while we would love to believe it is only institutionalized acts of bloodshed that pose the real threat to public safety, stupidity is another factor that cannot be ignored. Adam examines not simply the tools of violence, but the prevalence of violence in society, and how it's foundation is rooted in the nefarious actions of governments worldwide. He also addresses critiques of this anti-government perspective and offers possible approaches to achieving this Libertarian utopia. 27:00 Kokesh clarifies the finer points on how we can ensure everyone evolves equally and there is a shift in paradigm even with the absence of an enforcement class. He also analyzes the ways in which agents of chaos and disruptors of the natural order can be managed in the absence of a central control mechanism. 30:00 While Adam contends that the real problem lies in government and the decentralization of power is the only viable solution, Greg questions if the nefarious acts attributed to government may in fact be the corrupt conduct of wealthy industrialists, corporate lobbyists, and corporate control in the governing process. 41:44 As a firm believer that all taxation is theft,
Wrapping up the fourth season of the Sea Hawkers Podcast, the guys take a look at Head Coach Pete Carroll's final press conference of the season. Carroll talks about the one thing that had the biggest impact on the team this year. Was it the distractions the team faced including a few moments from Richard Sherman, was it the youth of the offensive line or injuries the team faced throughout the season? Looking ahead we get a sense of where this team may have diverted from Carroll's philosophy. Can we expect a shift moving ahead to next season. We also get some hints at where this team may focus some attention in the draft. While Adam was surprised to see the team focused at running back at 2016, there may be another surprise in 2017 at where we see Seattle focus its attention. Clinton Bonner joins the show to talk about some of the highs and lows of the 2016 season. Seahawks.com took a look at some award winning performances from the past season and Adam, Brandan and Clinton each offer their takes on competition at each spot and if there were some more worthy players deserving of the end-of-year awards. A long show for you this week as we get into a couple emails before moving on to a do better for the NFL and for Bruce Arians of the Arizona Cardinals. Better at life nods go out to Colin Cowherd and Adam's admiration for his views on the Falcons and to Marshawn Lynch for his latest trip to Houston, Scotland and how his Skittles endorsement finally won Brandan over. iTunes | Google Play Music | Stitcher | TuneIn | Facebook | Twitter | RSS Or listen via our free Amazon app, Android app, or iOS app Call or text: 253-235-9041 Email: gohawks@seahawkerspodcast.com Support the show Get in the Flock!

While Adam and Norm continue their journeys abroad, Adam invited Rebecca Watson to join Simone and Will to discuss Simone's appearance on Stephen Colbert, international relations, and and some underrated science fiction. Enjoy!
This week, Adam and Brandan kick off the show by hitting the highlights from the Seahawks 27-17 preseason win over the Cowboys. While there are concerns out there with the ability to stop the run and get to the quarterback, Brandan and Adam come up with a scale of effort to explain why Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett may not be as effective in the preseason. Russell Wilson and the first-team offense put points on the board for the first time this year and Boykin adds one on for good measure late in the game to help solidify the win. Before the news of roster cuts started to roll out on Monday, the guys laid out their predictions on who would make the team. While Adam thought there was still a chance Browner would make the team, it wasn't something he was confident about. Who does that leave a spot open for on the defense? Tom Spindler, president of the Mat-Su Sea Hawkers, joins the show to talk about his thoughts on the Cowboys game and outlook for the 2016 season. The chapter is one of the few, and maybe the only one, with federal non-profit charity status and he talks about how their club's work goes toward benefitting the local community. There was another huge week of support from listeners as we got several emails, reviews, and new members of the flock coming on board. Find out why the Arizona Cardinals GM and a Kansas City Chiefs tight end need to do better, while K.J. Wright gets a nod for being better at life. After we posted Jenny Goos' letter to Colin Kaepernick, Adam brings a different viewpoint to the table as he puts Kaep up for his better at life nominee. iTunes | Google Play Music | Stitcher | TuneIn | Facebook | Twitter | RSS Or listen via our free Amazon app, Android app, or iOS app Call or text: 253-235-9041 Email: gohawks@seahawkerspodcast.com Get in the Flock!

While Adam is galavanting in Europe, “Physics Commando” Barry Panas joins the crew to school us on the physics of superheroes. Pat discovers who showed up in class with a game of Name That: High School Quiz Edition. Finally, Darren investigates whether there’s any truth to a claim making the rounds on the internet about a rare green moon.
The Seahawks drop their second straight game of the preseason, 14-13, to the Kansas City Chiefs, but the important thing to remember is that they were up 10-7 when the starters went out of the game. Adam and Brandan recap the noticeable improvement with the changes in the offensive line. While Adam shares his excitement about Bobby Wagner's pick six, he also feels that the offense should score more points in the game than the defense. Brandan talks about how fans were able to see a hint of the type of impact Jimmy Graham could have on offense. Gary Gilliam is a player we may not know much about, so Brandan offers some background on the guy who played tackle and tight end in college, came to the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent and then caught a touchdown pass from Jon Ryan in the NFC Championship Game against the Packers. Finally, before the break, Adam and Brandan offer their thoughts on what to look for going into this weekend's game against the Chargers. Closing out the show, Adam gets an earful from listeners regarding his comments on the New Zealand basketball team that he said should "do better." The guys take a couple emails and finish the show with the weekly Do Better and Better at Life segments. iTunes | Stitcher | TuneIn | Facebook | Twitter | RSS Call or text: 253-235-9041Email: gohawks@seahawkerspodcast.comDownload our free Amazon app, Android app, or iOS app Find Sea Hawkers clubs around the world at SeaHawkers.orgMusic from the show by The 12 Train, download each track at ReverbNation

It's the Mirror of Regret this week on Ranger Danger! While Adam learns to believe in himself, we learn that mirrors make for terrible evil superweapons. What would Mat and Michael like to see in the future of Power Rangers? Why aren't the Rangers wearing their Power Pants, and how is it cutting political commentary? And how did that scene get in there? All this and more!

Usually the Jason Brubaker re-issues are reserved for the last Friday of each month. However, when there are two parts to the conversation, it really does make more sense to release them concurrently. While Adam said it wouldn't be until the end of March for Part 2, the backlash (which was wholly internal) was too much for Adam to bear, forcing him to adjust the schedule. It's hard being a podcast host sometimes. That said, the Gutter Talk podcast returns with Part 2 of the Jason Brubaker re-issue from last week with Kazu Kibuishi and Jason Caffoe. If you missed Part 1, click here. And the return of this week's podcast also brings the return of Kevin Cullen to Adam's apartment- uh, studio. Yeah, studio. That's it. The big difference this week? No caffeine. If you were hoping for Caffeinated Kevin, sorry to disappoint you. We all enjoyed listening to Kevin deal with the rush of energy he was feeling pump through his veins but we here at MakingComics.com feel its best if we ease you into Caffeinated Kevin. You don't want to build up a tolerance, do you? You'll thank us later. In the extended intro, Calm-ish Kevin and Adam talk about the different kinds of music they listen to while on a creative streak and some of the various points of Part 2 of the conversation Jason Brubaker had with Kazu Kibuishi and Jason Caffoe. If you thought the first part of this conversation was enjoyable, there are plenty more head-nodding moments to come.
