POPULARITY
This week Marc and Angel Chernoff join me on the podcast. They are professional coaches, full-time students of life, and admirers of the human spirit, and have been recognized by Forbes as having "one of the most popular personal development blogs." Marc and Angel are also the authors of two books that share over 1000 things people can do to live a happy and successful life. One of the things I love about their books (and our conversation) is that they take some really big topics and simplify them into practical and implementable things we can do in order to be better humans and make the world a better place. In this episode you'll hear: The inspiration behind Marc and Angel's book, 1000+ Little Things Happy, Successful People Do. Why Marc and Angel say their route into personal development was out of necessity. What made them decide to write a book about relationships. Marc and Angel answer the question, “What do I do to get my partner to be interested in personal development as much as I am?” Advice for someone who feels hopeless or helpless due to life's circumstances. Why their book, 1000+ Little Habits of Happy, Successful Relationships, is great for single people too. Some strategies you can employ when you are feeling burnt out. Practical ways you can get back to happy and simplify your life. PS: We're looking for your stories about how you've made noise in your life. It can be tangible stories like how you transitioned from one job to another or internal work - such as how your self-confidence grew over a number of years. Listeners, you are such a major part of this show and I want to honor your voices and stories. We need to hear more women's stories.

They focus on the roots of the Green New Deal--Marc, its historical and political roots, Alex, it's philosophical roots--which both believe are key to successfully opposing it and advocating a positive alternative. Some of the topics they cover are: - How Marc became skeptical of the modern environmental movement. - What UN climate conferences are really like--lavish parties, exotic locations, impressive carbon footprints. - How Marc was once kicked out of a climate conference and literally thrown in the middle of the desert. - Why Marc features EnergyTalkingPoints.com so prominently in his new book. - What we can learn from the great economics teacher Walter Williams. - Alex's views on the three levels of reframing the energy and climate conversation. - Where the Green New Deal came from. - How the Green New Deal is part of the current administration's plans. - The wide-ranging, totalitarian scope of the Green New Deal. - How Covid lockdowns are encouraging advocates of a totalitarian Green New Deal.

One of the most important aspects of converting a prospective client is by asking the right questions to establish what their biggest pain point is. When you have allowed them to talk and listened intently to their problem, you can close the deal by explaining exactly how your offer will address their problem. In This Episode Why Marc decided to promote himself as a French coach [0:02:53] The process of getting better at selling and converting [0:04:13] How Marc improved his business by leveling up his skillset [0:05:38] Marc explains what his process is for onboarding new clients [0:07:03] Three questions that get potential clients talking [0:11:18] Why preparing yourself with sales scripts are important [0:17:05] Who the coaching OTA program is designed for. [0:23:25] “Most objections that people will say to you are not actual objections – they’re procrastinations.” — Jonathan Goodman Get Clients Talking In addition to being clear about what you offer, you want to get the clients talking so that they reveal what their real pain point is. When they have made themselves vulnerable by sharing openly what they are hoping to change, they are more likely to go forward with you since you have the opportunity to explain how you can solve their problem. Why Now? This might sound like an irrelevant question to ask a potential client, but it is really important. The reason they want to get in shape at this point in their lives can become a powerful hook to remind them why they signed up if they ever consider postponing or quitting. Knowing the answer to their “why now?” will help you motivate them when they want to opt-out or find excuses. In answering this question, they remove the possibility of objections later on. Master Your Scripts No one likes being sold to, and clients might call you out if you are too obvious with your scripts. When you’ve gained experience, you will be able to seamlessly incorporate scripts into your discussions with clients without sounding desperate. People want you to hear them, and you have to respond authentically. The mastery lies in using scripts subtly. Already at $1,000/month online and want to scale?

In March Professor Marc Lipsitch — Director of Harvard's Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics — abruptly found himself a global celebrity, his social media following growing 40-fold and journalists knocking down his door, as everyone turned to him for information they could trust. Here he lays out where the fight against COVID-19 stands today, why he's open to deliberately giving people COVID-19 to speed up vaccine development, and how we could do better next time. As Marc tells us, island nations like Taiwan and New Zealand are successfully suppressing SARS-COV-2. But everyone else is struggling. Links to learn more, summary and full transcript. Even Singapore, with plenty of warning and one of the best test and trace systems in the world, lost control of the virus in mid-April after successfully holding back the tide for 2 months. This doesn't bode well for how the US or Europe will cope as they ease their lockdowns. It also suggests it would have been exceedingly hard for China to stop the virus before it spread overseas. But sadly, there's no easy way out. The original estimates of COVID-19's infection fatality rate, of 0.5-1%, have turned out to be basically right. And the latest serology surveys indicate only 5-10% of people in countries like the US, UK and Spain have been infected so far, leaving us far short of herd immunity. To get there, even these worst affected countries would need to endure something like ten times the number of deaths they have so far. Marc has one good piece of news: research suggests that most of those who get infected do indeed develop immunity, for a while at least. To escape the COVID-19 trap sooner rather than later, Marc recommends we go hard on all the familiar options — vaccines, antivirals, and mass testing — but also open our minds to creative options we've so far left on the shelf. Despite the importance of his work, even now the training and grant programs that produced the community of experts Marc is a part of, are shrinking. We look at a new article he's written about how to instead build and improve the field of epidemiology, so humanity can respond faster and smarter next time we face a disease that could kill millions and cost tens of trillions of dollars. We also cover: • How listeners might contribute as future contagious disease experts, or donors to current projects • How we can learn from cross-country comparisons • Modelling that has gone wrong in an instructive way • What governments should stop doing • How people can figure out who to trust, and who has been most on the mark this time • Why Marc supports infecting people with COVID-19 to speed up the development of a vaccines • How we can ensure there's population-level surveillance early during the next pandemic • Whether people from other fields trying to help with COVID-19 has done more good than harm • Whether it's experts in diseases, or experts in forecasting, who produce better disease forecasts Get this episode by subscribing to our podcast on the world’s most pressing problems and how to solve them: type 80,000 Hours into your podcasting app. Or read the linked transcript.

Thank you for kicking off the New Year with us! You know there is nothing closer to my heart than the story of someone not only dreaming big but finding ways to chase those dreams. Such is the story of today’s guest. Join us for more! Marc Megna is co-owner of Anatomy Fitness gym and a top strength and conditioning coach in Miami, helping hundreds of clients--from celebrities and professional athletes to motivated beginners--achieve their fitness goals. Adhering to the “Dream big, never quit” motto that Marc learned from his mother, he put in years of hard work and unrelenting dedication to transform his life. After playing football and earning a degree in sociology at the University of Richmond, Marc was drafted by the New York Jets in 1999. During his seven-year professional football career, he played for the New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals, and Montreal Alouettes. Now an elite trainer and fitness model, Marc has written for such publications as Fitness RX and Dr. Oz. He’s been featured on the cover of Inside Fitness and Muscle & Fitness magazines. You can listen to his motivating Megna Method podcast and visit www.megnamethod.com. Sports as a coping mechanism How do you cope with life’s problems? Marc learned early on that sports were his coping mechanism for dealing with a difficult childhood. He was a shy, insecure, fat kid, but sports were a big deal in his family. Since he figured out that athletes gained the respect of others, that’s what Marc aspired to become. Being a top athlete became his mission as a young kid, and he was determined to work harder than anyone else. His perseverance paid off, and he made it to the NFL. Now, with a profession built on sports and fitness, Marc can impact others’ lives with his talents. TWEET: Being a top athlete became Marc’s mission as a young kid, and his perseverance paid off. @marcmegna #chasingdreams The end of a football career How do you know when it’s time to move on? Even though Marc loved his time in the NFL, it was pretty clear to him that he needed to try something else after a series of injuries. He sustained a severe knee injury and infection that almost cost him his leg, and since his knee was compromised, his body was out of alignment. This led to a serious tear in his back, and he knew his football career was over. Marc learned that a significant time commitment is required in anything in which you wish to succeed, and he knew that football coaching was not the route he wanted to take. His current career as a gym co-owner and fitness coach takes a lot of his time, but he genuinely enjoys the time he spends investing in others. TWEET: After a series of injuries, Marc knew he needed to try something else, and football coaching was not the route he wanted to take. @marcmegna #chasingdreams Don’t get stuck! How do you “show up”? Marc explains that it’s great to show up every day, but what you do when you’re there is important. Doing the same thing over and over again will not yield a different result. Most people are deathly afraid of getting outside their comfort zone. When what you do each day is a drudgery that you hate, then you’re probably stuck in your comfort zone. Do what it takes to get unstuck! TWEET: Do what it takes to get unstuck! @marcmegna #chasingdreams Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”Decide what’s most important to you and take steps to do what you want to do.” OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [1:16] Young Marc’s dreams [4:22] Finding a coping mechanism [6:14] Holding on to the dream [10:31] Becoming a better person [14:19] From professional athlete to the next step [17:23] A labor of love [18:59] The road to Anatomy Fitness [25:11] Why you have to show up and do the work [26:56] How to tell if you’re stuck in your comfort zone [30:01] Marc’s book [32:36] Why Marc is happy right now [33:31] ONE action for a dream chaser [34:48] Get to know Marc better RESOURCES MENTIONED: Marc on Facebook Mark on Twitter Marc on Instagram Marc’s Website "Dream Big, Never Quit" by Marc Megna on Amazon Watch the episode on YouTube TWEETS YOU CAN USE: Now, instead of asking how I can be better at something, I ask myself how I can be a better person. @marcmegna #chasingdreams Athletic training helped my insecurity, made me stronger, and increased my confidence. @marcmegna #chasingdreams I started with dreams of being an athlete and an annoyingly obsessive mentality of showing up. @marcmegna #chasingdreams

This film has been developed with the Jewish Film Institute’s Competitive Filmmaker in Residence program in San Francisco. Show Highlights: Marc’s passion: to work in the film process from the kernel of the idea to the production and marketing pieces Why Marc is passionate about art, activism, social change, LGBTQ issues, public health and community issues, diversity, and inclusionism Marc’s intensity as a kid and ever since---not the kind that alienates others, but he had to learn to modify his responses at times How Marc thrives on other people’s energy The deep resilience instilled by his parents Why Marc calls everyone “they” instead of using gender-specific pronouns How non-binary expression of identity opens up opportunities Why Marc tries to live without regrets, even when his intensity threatens to get out of control Marc’s battle with HIV, an illness with much shame, guilt, and stigma Why it’s NOT a small thing to be the child of Holocaust survivors How Marc uses his fire for good, actively looking forward and behind at the same time Why he can live comfortably in today’s technological world How Marc learned early in life that he couldn’t do things in ways that please everybody How we need to cultivate new ideas and standards for creativity and giftedness Why social and emotional challenges aren’t limited to any one demographic, and how we need to look through the lens that makes us relatable to one another How Marc has experienced mostly positive outcomes from embracing intensity, even though there is always a big risk when you completely express yourself Resources: Support The G Word Film Kickstarter Join the Embracing Intensity Community 13th Gen Learn more about Marc and his company Follow Marc on Twitter: @MarcSmolowitz The Gword Film Find out about Marc’s film about giftedness
Marc takes some time to dissect the podcast audience survey, discuss podcast statistics provided by Libsyn, the podcast host server, and what this might mean for the future. This podcast was launched 14 months ago and targeted one of the smallest audiences who listen to podcasts, the over-55 crowd. According to Edison Research, which presented at Podcast Movement this last year, the over-55 crowd makes up about 15% of all podcast listeners, which, by the way, is about half of the demographic. They make up 38-40% of the population. Marc should be approaching 3,000 episode downloads in January, which pushed this podcast well into the top of all podcasts on Libsyn. For that, Marc wants to say, thank you! He is quite humbled by the response. Listen in for survey results and future plans for the Repurpose Your Career podcast. Key Takeaways: [:57] The audio version of Repurpose Your Career: A Practical Guide for the 2nd Half of Life is available now on iTunes, Audible, and Amazon. Listen to the end of this episode for how to win a free copy of the audiobook. Marc will give away one copy a week for one month. [1:21] Marc announces that the Repurpose Your Career podcast is now available on Spotify, via the Spotify app. There have been a fair number of downloads, already. [1:37] Marc lists the order of episodes. The first episode is an interview with an expert. Two weeks ago, Marc interviewed Nancy Collamer. Last week, Marc interviewed Christine Hopkins-Spidell, a late-in-life career pivoter. This week, Marc discusses the results of the audience survey. The last episode of the series is a listener Q&A. [3:33] Marc launched the podcast to support the publishing of the book, Repurpose Your Career. He started with about 300 downloads in the first few months — that was November-December of 2016, and it has steadily climbed ever since. [3:48] The podcast hit a plateau in the early Fall. Things have kind of exploded in December — a usually quiet month for podcasts. Episodes were up 50% in December and they continue to rise in January, at a rapid rate. Why? Marc has no idea. [4:09] Charts for the survey will appear in the Show Notes on the CareerPivot.com website. Look for Episode 62. The current episodes are averaging about 300 downloads in the first 30 days. This is a standard measure of the popularity of a podcast. Most downloads will occur in the first 30 days after you publish a particular podcast. [4:40] Marc received 33 survey responses, which he thought was pretty good. He guesses that one in ten listeners filled out a survey, which is not bad, considering most people listen on mobile devices, so they are not near a computer when they hear them. [5:02] About 70% of survey respondents were male. In previous surveys of Marc’s readership, the gender results were about split. According to Edison Research, male podcast listeners outnumber female podcast listeners 56-44. There will be a link to the report in the show notes. [5:27] 90% of the respondents were between 45-64; two-thirds of those were between 55-64. The survey shows Marc is hitting his intended audience. [5:44] Approximately half of all the listeners are unemployed or retired. The other half are mostly looking for a change in career, job, or industry. [5:58] 98% of the respondents are from North America. One is from South America, and one from Europe. [6:09] 25% of the respondents have been listening less than one month but you were inspired to fill out a survey in the very first month of listening. Marc thanks you! [6:23] 22% of the respondents have been listening for 10-12 months. Marc really thanks these folks! [6:30] The rest of the audience was fairly evenly split up between 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9 months. There was a pretty wide range of response and how long they have listened. [6:43] Over 40% of respondents listen to the podcast on their computer. That’s double the general population. [7:01] The most common source of downloads was iTunes, followed by all the web browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Mozilla, or Safari. You may have noticed, the most current episode of the podcast is embedded in the blog post as an ad, embedded in a player in the blog post. [7:41] Slightly less than 40% listen on an Android phone. iPhones came in last. Because of the fact that there is no common app player on Android, People on Android phones don’t listen to podcasts as much as people on iPhones. This was surprise to Marc.. [8:11] Half of respondents were selective in the episodes they listen to. ¼ of listeners listen every week. Many said they were too new to the podcast to say. [8:27] Over 70% said their favorite episode was an interview with someone who made a late-in-life career pivot. The other three episodes split the rest, pretty much evenly. [8:46] Marc shares things people liked about their favorite episode: seeing themselves doing the same in a few years, looking for practical experience-based examples of how to transition, relatability, engagement, learning about how they made the transition, enjoying “Marc’s pivots and lifestyle,” liking to hear how others did it. [9:27] Others liked: hearing actual specific personal stories from people who figured out what to do and made it work, really enjoying Marc’s podcast about moving overseas and how to grow his career-pivot business, learning about retiring early, moving to a low-cost area for retirement, second-act careers and side hustles. [9:55] Others said: applies to me at this stage in my career, am in the same situation of late-career move, liked the book and guest stories best, personal stories are relatable, knowing you are not alone in your journey. Marc says that is probably the most important piece he wants you to get from this survey. You listeners are not alone in this. [10:32] Others answered: looking for ideas on how to get where I want to be, real-world experience, illustrates clearly that those of us who are older are still fully capable of working, changing jobs, starting a new career, building a business, etc., connecting with a person, enjoy the mailbag, it’s my story, it’s inspiration as I need to do a pivot. [11:08] More comments: some of my questions have been answered in the mailbag, I just graduated from college and I’m over 50. [11:21] Those are some sample answers why people chose their favorite episode. A lot of them want to hear stories that show them other people have accomplished this. They want to know they’re not alone. [11:41] Marc’s last question was what topics listeners want to have addressed. They said: include more minorities, specific steps of going into management consulting, how to get gigs, resources for structuring consulting contracts, transferable skills, how to earn while traveling. Marc is looking for a travel blogger who started after 50. [12:31] More answers were: the effect on work status of becoming a caregiver, funding a pivot, portfolio careers, running a retiree micro-business as part of a portfolio, pros and cons of downsizing or moving as a strategy late in life, retiring before 59-and-a-half, tapping retirement accounts early, how much you need to retire early, or abroad. [13:08] Retiring to Mexico or Ecuador is a big topic. Other comments: living overseas very helpful since you need at least $1 million to retire in the U.S.A., other organizations that help you rank and decide what would be helpful, how to post-mortem an interview, or why you didn’t get a job. Marc may add this one into a mailbag session. [13:43] More comments: transition from employment to self-employment, age discrimination, moving from a large-population area to a small-population area, rebuilding business network for an introvert in a new location, starting a business, ageism, how to avoid being screened out by people who know nothing about the job. [14:16] Additional comments: the online black hole (Marc says, go back to the Gary O’Neal episode, #58), gig-economy mindset, landscape, and resources, finding part-time work as a software developer, age discrimination, dealing with the fear of the unknown, preparing for change later in life, dealing with careful plans being upset. [15:17] Other suggestions: entrepreneurship, relocating, remote working, training and updating skills, research on career trends for people over 50, freelancing tips and examples, the possibility of multiple income streams, am I too old to start a business? Beating the doldrums of unemployment at 55, interviewing ‘don’ts.’ [15:46] Marc hopes you got something out of those comments. Marc plans on working with his producer, Podfly, to make changes based on your comments in the coming months. Marc will address a few of the issues in the next couple of Q&A episodes. Marc is looking for a travel blogger who has turned travel into an income stream after 50. [16:16] Marc has someone in mind to talk about the gig economy and the possibilities. The comments make it obvious that Marc needs to interview more late-career pivoters. If you know someone who has made a late-career pivot, please send Marc a note to Podcast@careerpivot.com. In the last episode, Christine came to Marc to tell her story. [16:55] Marc has one client lined up for an interview. She is a logical creative. She is a data analyst with a unique streak of creativity. [17:08] Marc thanks everyone who participated in the survey. Your feedback is invaluable. [17:36] Marc gives instructions on how you could get a free copy of the audio version of Repurpose Your Career: A Practical Guide for the 2nd half of Life. Marc announces a previous recipient of a coupon for a free copy. [18:12] Marc is working on the Career Pivot community website. The website is live, in the process of being put into production and ironing out a few glitches. Marc is contacting people on the waiting list.

He is planning on four to five beta groups with 10 or more people at a time.

“You are the author of your own story.You can create any reality you want.” Nearing the peak of his Hollywood screenwriting career, Marc Gutman walked away from it all. This decision wasn’t in the life plan! In love with stories and the movies, Marc had a shot most writers only dream about. Working for the likes of Disney and Oliver Stone, Marc rubbed shoulders with some of Hollywood’s greats. But looking down the road, he was shocked at the people further ahead. 30-year-old screenwriters earning millions, living in their big Californian homes - they ‘had it all’, but they weren’t happy. Marc’s Hollywood dream wasn’t living up to his expectations. So Marc came to Boulder - to the mountains - to get clarity on his next steps... and then never left! Marc realized he wanted to tell real stories, rather than Hollywood fiction. He wanted to write about the things that mattered to him rather than focusing on what would sell. So he started Wild Story to help entrepreneurs use storytelling to engage their customers. And in doing so, he figured out a way to do what he loved in a way that works for him. “Being happy takes work. So to think that it shows up without intention, without cost, without compromise to other things in your life, I think would be misguided.” Marc’s story is one of putting your happiness first - and willingly making the sacrifices needed to make this happen. In this episode, Marc shares the strategies, decisions, and daily actions that help him live life his way. From his daily cup of coffee to long walks with his wife, Marc has found a way to live his story - and feel good in the process. His story has inspired me and I’m sure it will do the same for you too. “The one thing that is 100% always in my life is a cup of coffee - always.” Some questions I ask: How do you live your story better? How do you use your story to fuel happiness? (10:05)How do you set up your day so you can get started and keep moving? (13:54)How have you setup your business so you can be happy? (20:24)What things don’t get compromised no matter where you are? (25:08)What tips can you share for staying more present and focused on the now? (27:30)What role does gratitude play in your life? (36:17)In the midst of your successes and achievements, what do you come back to so you stay grounded? (39:42) In this episode, you will hear about: Marc’s route to Hollywood. (1.22)Why Marc’s Hollywood dream didn’t measure up in reality. (4:20)Why soul-searching helped Marc discover what he loved. (8:30)The life-changing event that forced Marc to reassess his life. (14:27)How Marc ensures his priorities aren’t compromised. (18:45)How Marc redefines the cost of the things that make him happy. (22:15)The one thing that’s 100% always in Marc’s day. (26:03)The reality check that Marc uses to help him manage a crossroads. (30.28)How Marc’s mantra helps stay happy - even when the day ahead is challenging. (32:15)The powerful reframe that can change how you feel about your day, instantly. (32:50)Marc’s simple happiness tip.

"Stand out or don't bother." This quotation from Sally Hogshead has always bothered me. Although I believe 1,000 percent that standing out is critical to having a successful speaking business that makes a difference in the world, standing out is a process. You have to find that message that rises above the noise, and lucky for us, today we are talking to Marc Ensign. Marc is a role model for how to make an impact with your message, and how to rise above all the noise that is out there. As a speaker, Marc has shared the stage with the likes of Gary Vaynerchuk, Chris Brogan, Brené Brown, Simon Sinek, (my imaginary boyfriend), and Chelsea Clinton. In this interview we discuss: If authenticity is just marketing babble or still meaningful to seapker Why Marc urges other to “be a Dick” (and it’s not at all what you think) How story fosters connection with the audience if it’s done the right way How an unconventional approach lead to amazing speaking opportunity What to do if your audience gets offended by your message

Fear, fear and more more fear is what we discuss with my guest today, on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots free podcast interview. He iss a man that i am proud to call a friend. Im not sure he would say the same about me, but I guess we will discover this through the show. He is the head honcho at Natural Born Coaches, where he supports, nurtures and sometimes gives a kick to coaches across the world who need a little help in building their businesses. And what I love about this guest, as you will see in the show it looks like he has really found his thing in life and looks like it was always on the cards. But as he says "After a decade of success in my past life (real estate,) I went through business closure and challenges that would have caused most to give up. How did I get back on track? With the help of coaches! After years of being a lone wolf, and being proud of “going it alone,” I experienced the power of coaching first-hand, and it really made a difference. So when I was ready to go back into business, I knew that I wanted to be a coach. I wanted to help others like I'd been helped. I dove in and became a coach, and discovered what every new coach learns when he gets into this business … it's not easy! Jumping into the coaching business (for small business owners), he created the programs that he would use with his clients, established systems, printed business cards, launched his website, a blog, the social media, and waited for clients to start beating down his door. They didn't! So he started prospecting harder every day. By reaching out to people in his target market, he got consultations and some clients (but too many that I was working with at discounted rates, or even worse, for free!). It was a frustrating situation. So when I finally got it rolling, I knew that I didn't want other coaches to go through the same growing pains that I did." And now with his podcast rolling into the 500 plus episodes, and people now beating down his door for coaching advice, does he look back and think "Man, I made it truly hard for myself!" And what was the key that finally opened the door to get the whole things going? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots once more, with the one and only Mr Marc Mawhinney. Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Marc Mawhinney such as: Why Marc feels that it is great to start building communities as soon as you possibly can, as its easy to do, very cheap, and builds connections like wildfire. Why there is a right way and wrong way to reach out to people, and the big two mistakes that Marc believes that everyone keeps on making. Keep Moving Forward is such a powerful mantra for life, for entrepreneurs and for anyone wanting a new future. There is nothing that will stop you 100% in your tracks...just keep moving forward. and lastly…. Why Marc feels that so many coaches need to get over their own personal fears and issues before they start marketing their own services to the world. You can't hide behind a glossy website if you haven't got your own act together.
