Seth Davis is a college basketball reporter for CBS Sports, a managing editor at The Athletic, and the author of Wooden: A Coach's Life and Getting to Us: How Great Coaches Make Great Teams. He joined the SGG podcast to share insights on some of the great coaches he's covered over the years. We discussed: 1. What he learned covering high school sports for the New Haven Register: Coaches aren't that different across levels. 2. His memory of Gary Palladino, a legendary high school basketball coach in Connecticut telling his player, “I love you!” 3. A main indicator of coaching quality in youth sports: Demeanor. How are they talking to their players? 4. Wherever you're coaching, it's all about the relationships and authenticity. 5. Out-coaching the pros in the USA Basketball Fantasy Camp in Las Vegas – winning the gold medal! “They loved that I cared so much!” 6. The relationships between coaches from different schools – and why there tends to be more collegiality among basketball coaches. 7. The peer pressure of giving back at clinics, etc. John Wooden saying, “If you don't do it, they say you're a high hat.” 8. “There's a real camaraderie among coaches.” 9. “Whatever business you're in, you find that it's a small community. That's why I say be nice to everybody. Treat everybody well. Because you don't know where they're going to be…The same people you on the way up, you'll see on the way down. 10. How Armen Keteyian supported him at a key career juncture. 11. Simple tip for how to operate in whatever line of work you're in: “Be a mench!” 12. What should we think about with regard to finding the right fit in terms of where to coach? “Happiness.” 13. Coaches who “avoid the joy” for fear of losing their edge. 14. Coaches finding comfort amid tension and adversity. 15. Recalling Dick Vitale's words: “I'm at my best as a parent when my kids are going through something tough.” 16. “Controlling the controllables.” 17. The challenges that families of coaches face. 18. Why Seth doesn't create “hot seat” lists: “I'm not just looking at a coach. I'm looking at a husband, a father, a brother, a son, a boss of a staff. So there's a lot more involved than just the person who's in that chair.”

As this show airs, we’re reaching two important milestones. We hit the 100K downloads mark, which is thrilling in itself. We also are approaching the fourth anniversary of the Embracing Intensity podcast, which means we’ve been at this for quite a while now! Reach out to me at Aurora Remember and let me know what “embracing intensity” means to you. We will feature these in our upcoming anniversary show next week! For now, enjoy another informative show with my inspiring guest who I've been a fan of for quite some time. Seth Perler’s life’s work has been dedicated to helping kids overcome executive functioning challenges so they can have great futures despite our outdated educational systems. Seth’s mission is to help compassionate and proactive parents, educators, and others who care about kids. He wants to give honest, practical, and unconventional approaches to helping complicated, struggling students without BS or misinformation. He wants to teach the world about executive function, which is at the root of student struggles. Seth’s vision is a day when we don’t need executive functioning coaches because education is wildly successful at empowering all students with everything they need to have happy, healthy, and successful lives. Show Highlights: Why Seth is intensely passionate about helping struggling students and changing educators to understand these kids better How Seth grew up as a curious, free-spirited kid who loved animals and nature but never fit into “the box” in school How Seth was labeled as a lazy, irresponsible failure--and his “fire was squelched” How Seth became a teacher of gifted kids but soon became frustrated with the system How Seth’s personal brand of intensity loves nature and the environment and feels the suffering of other people, animals, and plants Why Seth hates to see kids struggle to be understood How Seth is intense with his sensory experiences and emotions How kids’ feelings are invalidated by cultural factors that teach them that acknowledging their feelings is not OK Why Seth had a hopeless and cynical attitude as a kid, knowing he was “not like the other kids” How Seth learned to escape by going into social settings to avoid being alone Why Seth felt trapped by his “darkness” How Seth lived in his problem until he found the tools to step into the solution How Seth uses his fire for good by teaching what he most needs to learn and using what he has struggled with to help others How Seth harnesses the power of his intensity through meditation, the #1 way he understands himself Seth’s advice to those who don’t think they can meditate How Seth helps kids learn to shine through new mindsets, systems, and routines Seth’s advice: Focus on helping others with a heart and spirit of service Meditate and have times of stillness Learn to journal Get in touch with your story to know what is BS and what is truth Resources: Connect with Seth: Seth Perler and Executive Function Summit Find Seth on YouTube and his podcast, Learn Smarter.
Today at RealEstateAudios, we're meeting Seth Williams of RETipster.com. Seth is a big land guy and is going to give us the low down on everything from his early days in land to his biggest deals. His expertise isn't just about land and he's also going to tell us about balancing investment and family life, as well as the dilemmas we face when starting a business. He's going to walk us through different aspects of a land deal, from dealing with sellers, to attracting buyers and putting the ink on the paperwork. He's all about quality rather than quantity, and makes his investments work well for him with only 6-12 deals yearly with minimal hassle. Listen in for tips and tricks from this seasoned land investor. Topics discussed in this episode: How Seth got his start Where he got his early inspiration Why Seth chose land as his first niche The flexibility of land investment The risks and rewards of seller financed deals Balancing entrepreneur dreams and family time The importance of a diverse income The value of letting sellers come to you Seth's average turnover times and his longest hold The value of fewer, higher-margin deals Seth's crazy first year The importance of paperwork when it comes to seller financing Dilemmas in the land business How Seth's biggest deal fell into his lap How due diligence, zoning and permits figure into your land deal Getting your marketing and paperwork to tie up during a sale Where you can learn more tips and tricks from Seth How Seth got his start My story started back in I think it was 2006ish, somewhere in that range. Where he got his early inspiration In Rich Dad, Poor Dad he talks about real estate as an option, but he doesn't really give a whole lot of specifics of how, like what specifically he did. Why Seth chose land as his first niche how you're able to buy properties for pennies on the dollar and find highly motivated sellers...they're actually not that hard to find for vacant land compared to other types of properties The flexibility of land investment I could really scale it as much as I wanted to. I could make it my life, or I could just do it on the side as a hobby. The risks and rewards of seller financed deals So it's a very real thing, but what I realized was a lot of people, unless you're actually doing credit checks and really investigating your borrower ahead of time, a lot of people can and will stop paying you. Balancing entrepreneur dreams and family time It's just spending your time better and not chasing after every single motivated seller who calls you. It's more being selective about, nope, that's probably not going to pay out so well so I'm not going to mess with that, but this one over here looks really good so I am going to spend my time on that. The importance of a diverse income That's where the real meat was. But if there was a month where nothing was happening in land, there were other sources of income I had to draw on as well. The value of letting sellers come to you A lot of the deals that I find these days actually come in through my buying website. People will just find me and submit their property information and make an offer that way. Seth's average turnover times and his longest hold I think the longest I've ever held a property is 15 months. The value of fewer, higher-margin deals They mentioned that you only probably do less than a handful of deals a year because you want to focus in on bigger margins and less work. Is that t

Seth Streeter is the CEO and founder of Mission Wealth, a leading wealth management company with more than $2.5 billion in assets under management. Seth was an early proponent of our industry's shift into Life-Centered Planning, and I could listen to him talk all day about how advisors can help folks redefine what wealth and happiness really mean. Recently I heard an episode of the Wellness Revolutionaries podcast in which Mindbody co-founder Blake Beltram talked with Seth about this concept of redefining wealth. Their discussion was so insightful that I reached out to Blake, and he's been kind enough to let me share this episode here. Some of the topics Blake and Seth cover include: Why Seth believes money counts for only 10% of a person's wealth. Seth's 10 Dimensions of Wealth and 7 Dimensions of Wellness. How the values of a new generation of workers are reshaping the classic American Dream. How to help retirees develop a "Life 3.0 Vision" based around the freedom to pursue passions, strengthen relationships, and build their legacies. Preparing your business for the paradigm shift Seth sees in how our culture views money and defines wealth. Thank you Blake and Seth for letting me post this episode.

[24:00] How Staach got Danny Meyer's Shake Shack chain as a client [27:00] Seth's balancing of his roots in design with leading a growing company "If you have an employee who doesn't love what they do and doesn't feel inspired, it's going to be reflected in the quality of work every day. For me as an owner, I think about that every day when I wake up."

Importance of sales reps answering buyer questions, on video, and then distributing the video on LinkedIn to engage buyers in a way that builds trust and sets appointments over time. Show highlights: 07:00 - Seth Thompson's thoughts on majoring in communications studies. Also part of Powerlifting club. How University of Iowa and athletics made Seth the professional he is today. Valuing intellectual and physical strength and persistence.

Doing the little, boring things right over time with discipline to get payoff. 16:00 - How Seth ended up in Sales. Why Seth enjoys customer facing. 21:00 - UCaaS (Unified Communications) as a service. Seth provides different ways for those that provide those services financial programs to help end customers to make purchases. SMB space is Device-as-a-Service, how do I have the latest and greatest and not go out of date. 26:00 - How Seth is acting as an advocate for his customers on LinkedIn. Using social media, not to sell customers but to educate them. Need to be using video because that's the trend to personalize to buyers. Answer questions in a non-biased way. You don't have to be an expert, just try to be helpful. 32:00 - Your personal branding content doesn't have to be perfect! Don't have to over-script, can't fear failure, it's okay to look away from the camera and sound dumb.

Today’s guest is Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, author of Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data and What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are. During our conversation Seth talks about what it was like to work at Google and why he left, how he went about analyzing the data for his book, why he believes we are all liars, and what he learned about our true human nature. Seth Stephens-Davidowitz has used data from the internet -- particularly Google searches -- to get new insights into the human psyche. A book summarizing his research, Everybody Lies, was published in May 2017. He worked for one-and-a-half years as a data scientist at Google and is currently a contributing op-ed writer for the New York Times. He is a former visiting lecturer at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Seth received his BA in philosophy from Stanford, and his PhD in economics from Harvard. The area of big data that Seth researches is ‘social science questions about what people want and need’. It is very straightforward based on information that humans create. (Like from Google or Facebook) Traditional social science experiments take months but today it is possible to experiment in minutes using such resources as Facebook. When asked what a data scientist is, Seth said that it is someone who knows how to code and build models of human behavior to predict what people will do and what will work in the future. For his book, Everybody Lies, Seth used Google searches to measure racism, self-induced abortion, depression, child abuse, hateful mobs, science of humor, sexual preference, anxiety, son preference, and sexual insecurity, among many other topics. Just a few of the topics discussed in the book are sex, searches for sons vs. searches for daughters, anxiety, and insecurity. Sex: When asked questions about these sensitive subjects, people may lie. But searches indicated a variety of areas people search - areas that people don’t talk about. Therefore, people seem to have more interest in these topics than they are willing to admit. Son/Daughter Searches with the term ‘daughter’ are most often asking about issues related to appearance. For example, ‘How can I get my daughter to lose weight?’ For the term ‘son’ it is often, ‘Is my son gifted?’ There seem to be marked differences between sons/daughters in the searches that use these two terms. Anxiety: While common thinking may be that those living in large urban areas such as NYC or San Francisco are more anxious, Seth’s research showed that searches for these terms was higher in Kentucky, Rhode Island and Maine - and in rural areas, contrary to common thought. Insecurity: Stereotypes are often wrong. It is often assumed that women have many more insecurities about their bodies. However, the data does not show an overwhelming number of women versus men searching about these topics. In fact, about 60% were women and 40% of searches are men – not a ‘blowout’ on the side of women - that might have been thought. Seth’s advice for individuals living in this new data world is to understand that Google has a lot of incentive monetarily to keep our data private, so he is not worried. One thing he is concerned about is that we may enter a society where we put resources such as time and energy, towards how we present ‘on paper’, because we are worried that we might be penalized based upon our ‘paper trail’ - and that could become a problem. His advice to organizations is to use A/B testing (analyzing what people click on) is highly effective and should be used even more. What you will learn in this episode: ● Surprising most often searched terms in Google ● Advice for individuals living in this new data world ● Tips and discussion on Google Trends – website with data that is available to everyone ● What was it like working for Google and why he left ● How Seth analyzed the data for his book ● Why Seth believes we are all liars

Seth Godin joins Art of the Kickstart today for an enlightening and inspiring break from our typical crowdfunded creation saga. In today's interview with author, entrepreneur, icon and all-around great guy, Seth and I breakdown his views on success, sustainable business and building a legacy to be remember and loved by. I was personally shocked by some of Seth's views but in retrospect agree with most all of what he shares and think entrepreneur and Kickstarters are in need a massive wake up call. Ps. Sorry about the slight echo, recent move to Vietnam but will solve for future episodes. Startup Gold From Mr. Seth Godin: Why hustling's the wrong way to get ahead in business and why hustlers never win. The delusion of Kickstarter and why successful campaigns fail What it means to really think bigger Why "winners never quit" is a BS mindset How to have an overnight success and the Raman woes behind the scenes Why most products on Kickstarter are pointless How to build a business and following the right way Why Seth's Kickstarter raised over $250k and fully funded in just 3 hours The concept of the Dip and planning for pain before starting your startup Seth Blogs Daily, Worth Checking Out: Seth's Blog sethgodin.com Find Seth on Twitter @thisissethsblog A Few Great Books by Seth Permission Marketing: Turning Strangers into Friends and Friends into Customers Purple Cow, New Edition: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable--Includes new bonus chapter The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick) All Marketers Are Liars: The Underground Classic That Explains How Marketing Really Works--and Why Authenticity Is the Best Marketing of All What to Do When its Your Turn (and its Always Your Turn) Transcript Matt Ward: Art of the Kickstart, Episode 102. Welcome to theartofthekickstart.com, where entrepreneurs are constantly pushing the envelope to build businesses of greatness. Inventors are innovating, creating the products of the future, and backers stand strong for what they believe. These are some of the great thinkers, investors, and leaders of our time. Here are their stories. Welcome to Art of the Kickstart guys. Today I am absolutely thrilled. We have an incredible guy on the line. We've got Seth Godin, someone who needs no introduction. We'll give him a little one anyways. He's an author, businessman; I'm pretty sure you know what he's done. Thanks for coming today Seth. Seth Godin: It's a pleasure. I will be as helpful as I can. Thanks for doing this. Matt Ward: I imagine you're going to be pretty helpful. I've read a couple of your books. They've been very impactful, and that's why we're reaching. First with Art of the Kickstart, we like to start with a life quote, a success quote, but they a get a bit bland, and I think that you can go a little bit deeper than that. What's the worst piece of advice that you hear pushed around the business circles that founders fall for? Seth Godin: Twenty-five sure fire ways that you can guarantee succeed tomorrow by deceiving people, finding shortcuts, hustling, putting yourself out there, and generally being selfish. Matt Ward: Hustling, I think that's absolutely true. We talked about this before. I think you take a long ball approach to this, that a lot of founders, I mean it's tough. Let's face it, you're in a situation where you're financially set. How does someone coming up in the ranks take an approach like this and become successful? Seth Godin: I'm sure that was a deliberately provocative... Matt Ward: Oh absolutely. Seth Godin: Thought which I truly appreciate, here's the deal. If you don't have time to do it right, when exactly are you going to find the time to do it over? I was on the edge of bankruptcy for almost eight years.
