“I’m not gonna get a scholarship but I’m gonna go in there and I’m gonna try!”   Try Drumeo Edge for free for 7 days   Taylor Gordon, AKA The Pocket Queen, originally from New Orleans is a drummer and producer who has been through some big ups and some big downs. We are mostly all aware that in order to succeed, you must also fail. Taylor embodies this statement very well.    You will hear about her story from the time that she was accepted with a Presidential scholarship to Berklee, her mishap with a harddrive, her spontaneous encounter with someone important in a fast food restaurant, and how she took it upon herself to begin creating her own music. Which you can listen to right here.   This is a nice reminder that we will all experience ebbs and flows within our lives and they become more drastic in either direction when we take more risk.  You Will Hear About….   Taylor gets into Berklee. Her mom said no to Berklee but also wanted Taylor to challenge this instruction. How Taylor’s family success influenced her own. A publishing deal that she got. The upsets along the way and what she did about it. Why Taylor decided to begin making her own music. Why Should You Listen?   A lot can be learned from a good story. Taylor’s story outlines what can go right but what can also go wrong. I think there are many people who truly fear taking matters into their own hands and being true individuals. Whether the fear is born from our sets of beliefs within ourselves, the unknown territory, or what will happen to us along the way. It can be very intimidating to branch out from what feels safe but many people still likely want to feel the rewards of taking action and pursuing dreams. This episode can provide some reassurance that living our lives the way we want to is more than worth it.     Taylor’s Linktree   Follow ‘Drumeo Gab’   Instagram Facebook YouTube

Making money is easy, according to our guest today, Taylor Welch, co-founder of Traffic and Funnels, but knowing how to invest and multiply wealth is the hard part.

AN IOT SMART CITY PLATFORM THAT GROWS WITH YOUR CLIENTS If you’ve heard of Smart Cities, but you’re not sure exactly what they are or how to approach that market opportunity, then you’ll want to listen to this episode of IoT Playbook. My guest, Taylor Clark, has completed more IoT Smart City projects than anyone I know. He has a unique and versatile IoT platform that is dramatically reducing energy costs for his clients. In this episode, Taylor is going to reveal the secrets behind a successful pitch. So, just head on over to podcast.iotplaybook.com, where I’ll show you the actual Playbooks that IoT managed service providers are using to make 6, 7-figures or more of recurring revenue right now. What You Will Learn: How to leverage your technical background to win IoT projects How Taylor managed the first built-from-scratch IoT smart city The key problems that smart cities solve and how solving those problems will help you win IoT business in any market The business model that will get your IoT smart city projects approved and funded without years of committee meetings The key decision-makers in a smart city project and why you NEVER want to agree to a proof-of-concept project The key financial partners you need in every big IoT project Why Taylor picked Azure as his strategic IoT platform https://podcast.iotplaybook.com/podcasts/iot-smart-city-taylor-clark-1-part-1/ IoT Smart City Platforms Taylor Clark is the CEO and owner of Alternegy, a smart city, smart development, and green energy company that builds a unique IoT platform for commercial properties and municipalities. Alternegy got its start in smart lighting, which opened a new line of business in helping companies cut electricity and utility costs. It snowballed into an opportunity to help construct a thousand-acre IoT smart city south of Atlanta, where Alternegy sourced the partners, found the technology, and researched the solutions. Taylor Clark made his entrance in municipalities and back into the commercial space where he now offers smaller IoT services in smart building. Show Value and ROI In smart cities, there are a lot of ways for an IoT platform to provide ROI, but lighting is the most prevalent utility so it is a great place to start. By addressing lighting first, Taylor and his team can reduce power consumption by 40-90%. It enables them to start building the neural brain while showing clients the value of converting. There are a lot of options based on topography, budget, and what the client is looking to accomplish, but the modular nature of Taylor’s IoT smart city platform makes it easier to generate recurring revenue. Solutions That Grow If you put the right IoT platform in place and it serves a specific purpose, you can build off of it and ingrain yourself in the client’s operation. Alternegy goes in there, meets the clients’ needs, shows the value and ROI, then explains how they can expand upon their new solution. The beauty of the IoT smart city solution is no matter what you’re using in the background, the dashboard stays the same. So, once you can show them a solution that does what they want and can grow with them, you will be locked in.

Subscribe to Modern Marketing Engine Apple Podcasts |Stitcher |Google Play | Google Podcasts Every marketing department these days is facing a significant challenge. Things have changed. The days when the marketing department was only responsible for creating compelling ad copy and pretty images are long gone. Much more business impact is expected of marketing teams these days. Taylor Ryan, CMO of Valuer is Bernie’s guest on this episode. Together, they highlight the changes that have happened to the marketing landscape and make recommendations to help those in the marketing department understand the vital role they play in today’s organizations. You’ll hear Taylor address exactly why marketing departments need to think of themselves as their own agency, why they should not depend on the sales department alone for data and statistics, why every marketer is served well by becoming a swiss army knife, and more. Really? Why Should A Marketing Department Be Its Own Agency? Marketing is more complex than it used to be because the world has changed. The digital age has introduced many channels and opportunities for marketing professionals that didn’t even exist 10 years ago. It’s a fast paced environment that requires a diverse set of skills and knowledge. One example Taylor provides has to do with the issue of SEM (Search Engine Marketing). Many companies outsource their SEM needs, which makes sense, since there are many aspects of SEM that require specific, technical knowledge. But what winds up happening in some cases is that the contracted agency doesn’t measure what it’s doing according to what’s important for the specific market the company serves. Why? Because the agency is not well-versed in the issues that are important to the industry. They don’t KNOW the market as well as the company does. That means someone inside the company who DOES have the specialized knowledge of their industry needs to become well-versed in SEM in order to take on that role internally. Of course, there are external agencies that are very good at getting into the details of their customers’ industry. But Taylor’s point is well-taken. There’s a lot more on the plate of the modern marketing department than there used to be and sometimes external agencies aren’t enough to meet all the demands. The Marketing Department Needs To Take Ownership Of Tracking Results The data needed to make good marketing decisions gets stored in a good tech stack. You need to be able to use the tools you've selected to track, measure results, know where conversions came from, and understand what channels produce the most revenue. If you’re looking for reports on leads, the marketing department needs to set those up within the tech stack themselves instead of relying solely on the sales department to provide them. It’s not that the sales department is unwilling. It’s that sales professionals have a particular set of skills that make them great salespeople but not always great providers of detailed data needed by the marketing department. They typically aren’t focused on keeping detailed stats. It’s simply not how they are wired. The steps that need to be taken to ensure that every lead is followed up with appropriately and adequately needs to be put in place by the marketing department, through marketing and sales alignment. That means the head of marketing and the head of sales need to be collaborating together to ensure seamless integration of the data. This integration needs to benefit the entire organization, especially the sales team, otherwise it’s hard to get their collaboration. To Create Great Marketing Content, You Have To Be The Swiss Army Knife Do you remember the Swiss Army Knife? It's many tools in one - a knife, a screwdriver, a pick, maybe even a knife and fork. Whatever tool you need, the Swiss Army Knife is intended to handle it. Marketers in the world today need to be able to accomplish many tasks, oftentimes on-demand, without having to pass the work to someone else. They have to be like Swiss Army Knives. A diverse skill set is required, which is one of the reasons a wide-ranging, capable marketer will always be in demand. Listen to hear the skills Taylor suggests modern marketers adopt in order to be successful. He also shares helpful insights regarding the kind of attitude that enables marketers to thrive even when they don’t get the recognition they deserve. Modern Marketing Has Evolved Way Beyond Creative Ad Copy And Images Let’s take a moment to consider all the areas for which a modern marketing department may need to produce content. Website Email newsletters Blog posts Podcasts Video SEM Social media Whitepapers Case studies Use cases And many more… The point of this exercise is to illustrate how marketing has changed. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to marketing positions. Marketing departments these days need to function as internal agencies, effectively producing specialized content for their target market in a variety of forms.

There s nothing better than working with a creative team of people who are the best at what they do. It brings out the best in you and enables you to reach new heights you previously only dreamed of. Imagine for a moment, what might happen if you could build a company full of those kinds of people? It s likely, the growth and innovation your team experiences would be non-stop. That s what Taylor Holiday and the team at Common Thread Collective are experiencing – and as a result, they ve grown from zero to hero in a ridiculously short period of time (3 years). You’re about to hear a revealing conversation between real friends (as opposed to colleagues, and there is a difference). You re going to hear the process of growth Taylor and his team have gone through – and are still going through – in order to be the kind of team they truly want to be, not what others expect them to be. I feel confident selling our service because worst-case, our clients break even. Common Thread Collective is dedicated to helping product sales companies drive revenue through their eCommerce websites. Their clients spend $50K to $1 million per month on marketing and advertising that generates revenue for their brands. They do it by leveraging the new media purchasing economy that operates on daily budgets. That kind of attention enables them to keep close tabs on their client s campaigns because there s always a way to stop a failing effort and do something different. But they ve added another dimension to what they do – because they care about the start-up stage entrepreneurs, who they were finding more and more difficult to serve as the company scaled. Through their new platform, YourAdMission.co they have created a membership community that equips first-stage entrepreneurs to develop the skills they need at a price they can afford. Listen to learn more. To build a creative team made up of the best in the world, the mission had to change. Taylor s company started out with a very different mission than they have today. At first, they were seeking to Be the best in the world at selling products online. But they discovered that they weren t being consistent in carrying out the mission. That realization forced the team to evaluate whether they were willing to do what the mission required – and the answer was No – from everyone on the leadership team. That began the journey of discovering a new mission that the team was truly behind, to genuinely ask themselves what they wanted for themselves. Once they discovered that mission, it made the behaviors required to attain it much easier – and nobody was left feeling guilty for not hitting a target they felt they should accomplish, but weren t fully invested in. If I m going to ask you to work for me, I have to be invested in you as well. ~ Taylor Holiday Early on, Taylor and his partners asked themselves, Why would anyone come work for our little start-up? They were located in Orange County, California so appealing, world-class companies were just outside their door. The team came to the decision that they had to care about their employees more than anyone else was willing to do. Practically, that means that the trade of salary for time wasn t enough. They had to be invested in the employee at least as much as the employee was invested in the company. They had to ask, What would it mean to help our creative team get where they want to go, personally? As a result – and because of a desire to live consistently with their mission – they spend an inordinate amount of time and budget to empower employees to accomplish their own dreams. Ironically, many of those dreams wind up revolving around Common Thread Collective. Listen to learn how it all happened and how it s playing out day to day, on this episode of Converge. When you empower your creative team to fulfill their personal dreams, you might create your own competition… What happens if you work to help a person on your team achieve their personal dreams – and those dreams turn out to be competitive to what you re doing as a company? Taylor says that prospect isn t threatening to him because his goal is to empower entrepreneurs. It doesn t matter to him if it happens because what he sets up in the process is of much greater value than the risk it creates. Taylor also sees that sort of competition as a good thing for everyone involved. It forces everyone playing the game to improve in their own skills in order to rise to the top – or else they don t stay in the game at all. You ll be encouraged by the abundant, generous attitude Taylor has about equipping his team to be their best selves, and how it s paying off.

Leadership, Success, Sports, Perspective, Trust Summary Just how important IS trust to the success of an organization? We'll look at that in our Thought of the Day. And in our interview segment, Taylor Scott joins us with powerful leadership, business, and life lessons from … coaches. That and more on today's show. Bob's Thought of the Day We'll explore: Why trust was a key leadership factor for Theo Epstein, the man who brought the Boston Red Sox their first World Series championship since 1918 and the Chicago Cubs their first one since 1908. How operating without the—as Stephen M.R. Covey, author of The Speed of Trust, puts it—“low-trust tax” will positively impact your team. An important reminder from Simon Sinek, author of Leaders Eat Last: “Trust is a biological reaction to the belief that someone has our well-being at heart.” Interview with Taylor Scott You'll discover: What it means to go “OneMoreStep” and how it opens up a whole different perspective. The three pieces of advice Taylor received from his high school basketball coach--play hard, have fun, listen to your coaches--and how it changed his life. How to “see where you are today” as a way to practice and improve every day. The quickest way to become a leader among your peers. How insecurity negatively impacts you as a leader. Why Taylor believes the days of “building” character are over. How to add value to others by finding ways to “be around the ball.” The advice Taylor's Mom gave him that changed his perspective.
