For this episode, David is joined by Santa Mike, a professional Santa who has been playing Santa for nearly 40 years. During which time he has met and delighted thousands of children. So, unsurprisingly, his children´s books are incredibly popular.
Santa Mike has become good at telling stories that help people to decide what to buy and share. A skill that has also turned him an incredibly adept salesperson. During the episode, he shares what he has learnt about sales and explains how giving gifts and showing appreciation can have a positive impact on company culture.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
â When selling find a story that fits. Stories generate emotions. When you engage people´s emotions they are far more motivated to genuinely understand how what you are selling benefits them and buy.
â It is important to show your employees, friends, family and those who provide you with services that you appreciate them, and to do so year-round.
â Simple things like regularly thanking your staff makes a huge difference. They love receiving thank you cards, as do customers.
â Customers that you thank are highly likely to recommend you to others.
â How you act is what you become, so it is easier than you think to turn a poor culture around. When you pretend to value staff and start taking action very quickly you genuinely do end up valuing them.
â If you are kind to people they are less likely to be unkind to you.
â Stories are powerful, you can use them to help you to stop yourself from staying awake worrying. Santa Mike explains how.
â Share the experience of people who have bought your product or used your service.
BEST MOMENTS
âIf you act a certain way and keep acting a certain way, you will become that way.â
âWorrying about a problem that hasn't happened yet. You're borrowing tomorrows worries. Leave it till tomorrow. Enjoy today.â
âValue your children. If you're grownups listening to this, your children are working really hard. Being a kid is not an easy jobâŚ.give them an extra hug.â

In this episode, David explains, in detail, how to encourage your team to use their initiative. To recognise what needs to be done, then, get on and do it. When your team is capable of taking the initiative, things happen faster, their understanding of what the business needs improves, and they deliver a far better service.
Empowering people in this way also helps to build confidence, improves skills and makes it easier to retain the best team members. The strategy David shares to improve your team´s ability to use their initiative is not hard to implement, yet it is still incredibly effective.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Genius is initiative on fire. People need to know that if they have an idea they have your permission to act on it. If you want people to take the initiative make sure they are engaged and motivated. The strategic part of making sure people are able to take initiative is ensuring that the purpose of the business is clear and well communicated. Set parameters that make it safe for people to take the initiative and solve a problem there and then e.g. give an instant refund without referring to a supervisor for permission when the purchase is under ÂŁ100. Get everyone actively involved in improving processes and products. Use rewards and competitions to encourage people to take the initiative.BEST MOMENTS
âInitiative is doing the right thing without being told.â
âYour individuals are going to be motivated by different things. There are nine motivators .â
âEncourage people to make suggestions, not just to identify the problem, but also where there's a potential solution.â
âMake sure there's a feedback loop for people, so people know what their suggestions have gone and the opportunity to be part of the change if they want it .â

For this episode, David is joined by Ashley Stanford, who is a digital marketing, freelancing, and event expert. She is the co-founder and vice president of Ice Cream Social. They discuss how to move with the times in a digital and social media environment that is in a constant state of flux. How to use some basic principles to ensure that no matter what changes you keep up and continue to run effective digital marketing campaigns.
The advice and tips that Ashley shares work for every type of business regardless of size or the market they are targeting.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Whilst the channels and tactics that work are constantly changing the principles remain the same. You can use AI to generate content faster and make it more polished. Ashley explains how. But the human touch is still essential. Most small businesses operate in survival mode. Pause to work out who your customers are. Doing that produces amazing growth. Always analyse the results of your campaigns, so the next one is more effective. Every customer you have has the potential to be an influencer. They will all share their experience, at some point. Using rewards and gamifying, incentive-based social sharing, massively boosts the effectiveness of campaigns. Centre marketing around the benefits of your product or service, not the features. You need full control of your brand, money and customer data to be able to successfully pivot. Something all businesses have to do regularly. Periodically review your personal goals. Your life changes and you evolve, and so does what you want. Event marketing that is immersive and engages all of the senses is powerful. People feel compelled to use their phones to share it. If you host an event, make it worth people´s while to attend. Time is precious to them.BEST MOMENTS
âThings are changing pretty quickly with social media continuously advancing quicker than ever, with AI and influencers.â
âWho is your target audience, and how do they spend their time online? That will help you decide where to hang out.â
âTurn every single customer that you have into an influencer for your brand.â

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Your beliefs impact problem-solving and decision-making. As a child we form our belief system based on experiences, socialisation and other factors. At some point, those beliefs hold us back from going into certain situations. Conviction is the strongest belief. Often, they are a part of our identity, but they can still be changed. In challenging situations start each meeting with what is going well and what you are already doing to address the problems. David shares a simple way to prove to yourself and your team that you can solve problems. Thus, neutralising the negative belief that you don´t have the ability to overcome the challenge(s) you are currently facing. Use flipping the script as a way to use positive beliefs to overcome and quieten negative beliefs. David explains how during the episode. Identify core beliefs that serve you and work to change those that are not serving you.BEST MOMENTS
âThe problem is not the problem. The problem is the state that you go into as you approach the context where you think the problem is.â
âThe belief tells us whether we should or shouldn't go into this situation .â
âIf you start the meeting with what's going well, then actually that immediately lifts the vibe in the room.â
â There's ways to borrow belief and borrow advocacy that can help you .â

For this episode, David is joined by Bob King, a sales expert, filmmaker and author. His book, The Joy of Closing, is the definitive guide to building trust, getting the deal and creating happy customers.
The way Bob approaches sales and closes deals is substantially different. But, when he explains his innovative approach you will immediately see the wisdom and be inspired to start to change the way you grow sales in your business.
To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Sales is about helping the potential customer to make a decision. If you have a high decision rate, your closing rate will also be high. Believe in your product and understand how it benefits the customer. Getting someone to commit to anything is hard, including committing to buy from you. Being a great presenter does not seal deals. âgreed tricksâ are counterproductive. Pay each customer a sincere compliment. Bob explains how to learn this skill. Use Bob´s 3 reason framework, which he explains during the episode, to provide compelling reasons for them to buy. Use your company story. Bob explains how. If you want to inspire commitment, you have to be committed.BEST MOMENTS
âMy goal ⌠is to give them the information they need to make an informed decision, then do everything I can to prompt an impulse buy.â
âA really great closer is part lawyer and part six-year-old.â
âI advocate price conditioning throughout the pitch.â

But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see.

For this episode, David explains how to interview and hire ambitious, driven people that are sure to benefit your business. He covers identifying specific traits and skills you need and attracting people who have them. David also explains how to develop a strong employer brand that will attract the right type of person.
To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice, and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Building a business is a lot like building a tribe, which is why you need a team that shares the same values and ambitions. Build your employer brand, what do you stand for? Bear in mind that people will research you as well as your company, so your employer (personal) brand needs to be strong. Don´t hire based on technical skills alone. Be clear about company values and how you expect people to behave in your job advert. Test your interviewees' understanding of your company´s values. Employee referral schemes can be a good way of quickly finding suitable candidates. Never compromise and hire someone you feel is not a good fit, no matter how desperate you are.BEST MOMENTS
âIf you're looking for a particular character trait, hire for it.â
âIf there's that incongruence, then some of that drive might be missing.â
âIf you're hiring for a leader or an influential role in particular, never, ever, ever, ever, hire somebody who can't tell you what your values are and how they relate to them.â

KEY TAKEAWAYS
You can make enough money from a small business to match a professional corporate wage. Plus, you are building equity. Most business equity in the USA and Europe is in the hands of baby boomers, who need to retire. Many small businesses do not use technology, so improving processes to generate far more profit is easy. In the USA, you now only need to buy a majority of a business to secure a SBA loan. Do your due diligence. 40% of businesses lie about their finances. Be careful about how they handle expenses too. Buying a firm with just 1 or 2 big customers is risky. Spend at least the first year working directly in the business. Be prepared to occasionally step in to cover some of the manual work. If you plan to sell, plan ahead and make your business more attractive. Kevin explains how. Be realistic running a small business is still stressful.BEST MOMENTS
âYou can bridge a very large gap with seller financing.â
âIn approximately 40% of deals that he reviews âŚ. they identify outright financial fraud.â
âFocus on what we call enduringly profitable businesses.â

For this episode, David talks about why and how leaders can leverage motivation. Doing this impacts the way you recruit, manage, and reward your people. To help you to do this David explains how to use the motivational maps technique to do so. It enables you to work out which of the 9 types of motivators each team member is. Then, make sure that your organisation meets the needs of each type of motivator you have in your team.
To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Prioritise your people. When you look after them they look after your customers. Understand what motivates each individual and provide them with the leadership they need to be able to perform well. What motivates people changes depending on where they are in their lives. There are 9 different motivators. Ideally, you want the way you lead to be able to satisfy all 9 types of motivation. The defender is motivated by security, stability, and predictability. The star motivator seeks recognition and respect. Directors are one of the 3 power motivators. They seek influence and control. There are 3 types of growth motivators, one of which is creators. They are innovators. Ask how well does my organisation meet the needs of each motivator type. e.g. how well does my company make it easy for experts to acquire new knowledge?BEST MOMENTS
âUnderstanding what motivates people, starting with yourself as the leader⌠helps you to create an environment where people's individual motivators can be met.â
âIt's incumbent on the leader of an organization to make sure that there's an environment where all nine of these motivators can be satisfied.â
âMotivators are like the muscles in your business.â

For this episode, David is joined by Brian Beckcom who is a computer scientist, philosopher, lawyer, and Aggies graduate (Texas A&M). He and David discuss a wide range of topics starting with the role education plays in creating a firm foundation on which to build success.
They also discuss how AI is going to impact our ability to communicate, how to use pacing and stories to be persuasive, and how taking the middle path leads to success while helping others.
To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice, and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min
KEY TAKEAWAYS
All successful people can work with groups, are self-motivated, and not afraid to set challenging goals. Successful businesses have a purpose that goes beyond making money. We are reaching the point where many people cannot tell the difference between AI and something a human has created. Humans have always used stories to communicate and find common understanding. Never start a persuasive conversation by telling someone that they are wrong. Be realistic about what drives people and use that when trying to persuade others. By providing what others need, you can always make money ethically Law is the manifestation of our ethical beliefs about certain things.BEST MOMENTS
âYou have to have some purpose beyond making money.â
âA moral person tries to get those economic incentives to line up with the moral incentives.â
âI believe that in general the middle path is usually the correct one.â

In this final episode of David's 3-part series on recognizing and changing behaviour patterns that block personal and professional growth, he explores the last 3 of the 9 Enneagram personality types, highlighting each type's negative behaviours and offering strategies for change.
Today´s episode looks at enthusiasts, challengers, and peacemakers.
To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice, and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Stop blaming external factors for your lack of progress. Instead, focus on addressing your shortcomings to resolve the issue. There is nothing wrong with being enthusiastic, but you can take on too much and become distracted. Pausing, reviewing, and prioritizing counters this. Challengers are decisive and self-confident, but they can get angry a lot, be self-righteous, and constantly blame others. Peacemakers are easy-going and agreeable people. But can be so desperate for harmony that they let things that need to be addressed go and be passive-aggressive. Peacemakers need to be far more focused on the goal.BEST MOMENTS
âObserve these patterns of behaviour and once you´ve noticed work out how to reframe things.â
âOnce you make a decision, decide what you're going to do, then track it.â
âChallengers are looking for control.â
âWhat you suppress will be expressed.â

Budgets are vital to achieving financial freedom, regardless of income level. Even Elon Musk has one. You can fix a poor credit score quicker than you think. The way you buy insurance matters. All consumer debt is bad, but some business debt is good. Paying your mortgage bi-monthly can potentially save you a third of the interest. How long you are going to stay in your home plays a role in what type of mortgage you use. Creating a job replacing passive income is easier than you think. If you feel overwhelmed, start by making one change. It will prove to you that you can clear your debt and start generating income from investments.BEST MOMENTS
âWithin 12 months of doing the action plan, I raised my credit score to 700.â
âWe show them how to leverage the tax laws, just like multinational companies do.â
âMoney's not everything, but 98% of the things that we do are based on the amount of money we have or the lack of it.â
âGetting out of financial debt is just like weight loss.â

For this episode, David continues to talk about the patterns of behavior that are holding you back and how to change and overcome them. To help you to do this he uses the Enneagram personality definitions. In part 1, David covered reformers and helpers. For this episode, it is the turn of achievers, individualists, investigators, and loyalists.
He explains how to recognize whether you are one of these personality types. Then, shares strategies to overcome the typical negative behavior patterns associated with each personality type.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Achievers want to win and are disappointed with coming second even when doing so means they have achieved a lot. For achievers, life can be disappointing. They are tough on themselves and fail to celebrate their smaller wins. Practicing gratefulness helps achievers to see and appreciate things more. Investigators overthink and are drawn to certainty and will not take risks. They tend to get frozen in place and do nothing. If you are an investigator ask yourself âWhat´s the worst that can happen?.â This enables you to put things in context and take action. Trust matters to loyalists, but they can struggle to find people they can trust and work with.BEST MOMENTS
âLook at your emotional reactions and use that as a clue.â
âIf you relentlessly pursue that sense of achievement, you risk getting burnt out.â
âTurn that âI have toâ into a âI get toâ and bring gratitude into your life.â

Today, David is joined by Claudia Scott, Head of Underserved Entrepreneurship at Startup Junkie. She works with any would-be business owners who have historically been underserved, including, immigrants, single mums, people from the LGBTQ community, those with criminal convictions and others.
Claudia explains how this is done and how to use KIVA to secure funding. She also shares her journey, including how she ensured that Tourettes, OCD and anxiety did not stop her.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Claudia works with anyone who has been historically underserved. There is a lot of support and plenty of people to pitch to. When you have an idea clearly define what it is and what it achieves/solves. Once you are 100% clear on what it is, work out if it is viable. Do lots of research and be brutally honest. Initially, keep your day job and scale gradually. Don´t let disability hold you back. Don´t be too fast to judge. Give people more grace, very few people are truly mean. Start networking before you set up your business.BEST MOMENTS
âWhat will get you a deal, help, or the capital is you sitting down and knowing your business and being able to talk about it.â
âThink of all the things that can make your idea unsuccessful, if you still see the market, then full steam ahead.â
âI wouldn't say I have encountered people that are just downright mean, they just don't know, they're ignorant.â

This episode is the first of a series in which David examines the patterns of behaviour that are holding many people back. He explains why a very high percentage of us feel trapped by some aspect of our lives. Then, he shares how you can use the 9 Enneagram types to better understand your personality, strengths, and weaknesses. Today, he looks at how people with reformers and helper personality types self-sabotage and how to stop doing that.
To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min
KEY TAKEAWAYS
45% of business owners feel trapped in their business, and 85% of employees are not engaged with their work. Our natural fight or flight reflex plays a big role in our feeling trapped. We reflexively look for danger, so we always notice the negative more. Before you blame outside forces for making you feel trapped, first look at yourself. In particular, your beliefs, patterns and skills. Reformers are perfectionists. Often, they resent people who try to chivvy them along to get the job done on time. Helpers are people pleasers who can serve others to the point where they feel unable to charge enough and feel trapped. David explains how to stop doing this.BEST MOMENTS
âWe get 60,000 thoughts in any day, 45,000 of which are negative thoughts.â
âAn excessive use of a strength or a preference can become a weakness, and it can lead to self-sabotage.â
âA feeling that you can get if you're a people pleaser is guilt.â

For this episode, David is joined by Andrea Sampson, a former TEDx speaker coach, as well as the CEO and founder of Talk Boutique which helps people bring their stories to life and create more impact in the world.
Andrea explains, in detail, how to use the Story Spine framework to create powerful stories that move your audience to action.
To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Stories are a highly effective way to convey your message, but how you deliver them makes a big difference. Set the scene to engage your audience. Place the character(s) in their environment. At some point in the story you create a tension point, raise the stakes, and emotionally engage your audience. Drop hints that there is something big coming, an idea. Keep your audience predicting what comes next - engage their brains. Describe things in ways that engage peopleâs senses e.g. the air smelled and tasted salty. The tone, texture, inflections, and rhythm of your voice are powerful. You need a key message, several messages that support that and some takeaways. Then you create the story. Come back to your high point at the end and re-state your main message. The most successful brands use stories to connect with people in memorable ways.BEST MOMENTS
âWe're using all of these amazing elements of the story to engage the brain.â
âBuild out a one-sentence idea that is the North Star of that presentation.â
âLeave people with a feeling, it is way more powerful.â

In a follow-up from last Friday´s episode, David looks at what adults can learn from children. He explores the benefits of cultivating certain child-like qualities as adults, for example, curiosity, tolerance, inclusion and being fearless. David also explains how children can help us to live more in the moment and be more present.
To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min
KEY TAKEAWAYS
We all suffer from days where we feel conflicted. As adults, we are constantly working to conform. Sometimes in ways that do not reflect who we are and are not good for us. Societal norms push us to abandon some childlike qualities that can actually serve us and others well. There is a time and a place for behaving in certain ways. As adults we are taught to replace curiosity with judgement. Children are more open-minded about people and more tolerant. As adults, we need to learn to fear less. We let fear lock us into following restricted paths. Be more observant, notice the little things and give yourself time to reflect. Every day, ask yourself â âHow can I be more childlike in a way that serves me?âBEST MOMENTS
âThose on the fringes potentially begin to feel like they donât have a place in that mechanised or standardised environment,â
âA lot of fear comes from experiences as a child where we speak up in childlike innocence and we get cut down.â
âA child will focus on that thing that's there.â
âThey grow just a little bit every day, they learn something new.â

For this episode, David is joined by Daniel Ludevig, who is a leadership coach and founder of the Modern Leader Community to discuss the qualities of a modern leader. Daniel shares the best way to learn the necessary skills to become a visionary, influential and authentic modern leader.
To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min
KEY TAKEAWAYS
A modern leader has a compelling vision. They strongly influence other people and have undeniable authenticity. Spreading learning leadership skills across 12 to 15 in 4-hour sessions, works better than completing a single course. Focus on applying one thing at a time. Addressing your negative thoughts and behaviour patterns is a big part of becoming an effective leader. Your personality traits are basically negative patterns of behaviour, which can be disrupted, which means you can change who you are. Most people are already leading in some area of their lives. 75% of our 60,000 daily internal thoughts are negative. Your inner critic is pulling you down. Being aware of your internal dialogue is a skill, which anyone can learn. Leaders need to be aware of their energy and that of others e.g. how engaged and enthusiastic people are.BEST MOMENTS
âLeadership development is synonymous with personal development.â
âWe are all leaders in some areas of life.â
âOne of the most powerful things a leader can do is to learn how to take control of where their attention isâ
âNotice what is happening at the emotional level as well as at the content level of the conversation.â

For this episode, David reflects on the transition from parenting a child to guiding an adolescent. Specifically, he looks at what the difference is between an adult and a child and how to recognise when it is time to start giving your child more responsibility. As well as how to help them to understand what becoming an adult means for them.
The underlying message in this episode is to reflect on how we can modify our own behaviour as adults. To stop blaming and complaining and to take responsibility instead. Better outcomes will come from this.
To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min
KEY TAKEAWAYS
As your children age, the way you parent them needs to evolve. At the age of 12 or 13 many children want you to start treating them as adults. It is important for a child to be allowed to develop their own dreams and aspirations. You have to let go of the dreams you had for them. Children need to be taught that their actions have consequences and that ultimately, they are responsible for them. Use examples to help them to fully understand this. Adults know that life is a series of problems of challenges. Helping your children to understand that this is normal and that they need to accept and solve those problems is an important step.BEST MOMENTS
âWe all carry the scars the wounds from the way we were parented⌠and the benefits of the good stuffâ
âWe learn from children as adults and as children, we learn from adults.â
âIt´s not a switch that is kind of just a click. They are still going to push the boundaries and make mistakes.â
And a big thank you for the music to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - Teach your children

For this episode, David is joined by Christa Steizmuller the CTO Chief Technology Officer of CharityWater. She explains how they bring clean water to people. They discuss why transparency, trust, and technology are so important, particularly in the context of Charity Water's 100% model. A way of working that means one set of donors covers all operating costs, while 100% of what small donors give is spent directly on water projects.
David & Christa discuss how non-profits work, what for-profits can learn from them and how they can collaborate more closely.
To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Over 700 million people are living without clean water. 10 years ago, it was 1 billion. Water infrastructure is expensive; many countries can´t afford to build it, so many use private water companies. The water points are fitted with sensors to spot issues early. CharityWater always looks at existing simple tech first to see if that can be used and improved. Use your data to tell compelling stories. Non-profits work under a lot of constraints; this makes them very innovative. Stick to your mission, and continually pivot to achieve it. Take care of your team, in particular, their mental health and don´t overwork them.BEST MOMENTS
âThey are safe in knowing that 100% of their donation goes directly to projects.â
âThese sensors didn´t exist, we had to build them ourselves.â
âEvery single piece of information that we have is an asset.â
âHow successfully you can continue to pivot is what ultimately drives your success.â

For this episode, which is the conclusion of the CALM leadership series, David switches track a bit and looks at the state of being calm. He defines what that state is and why maintaining that emotional state at all times is an unrealistic and potentially unhealthy expectation.
Everyone feels a range of emotions, which is normal. So, you should not suppress them. Instead, you need to understand why certain circumstances trigger those feelings and be in control of when and how you express them. In this episode, David explains how to do that.
To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It is OK not to feel calm all of the time. Remaining calm is not about suppressing feelings of frustration or agitation. These emotions exist and need to be addressed otherwise they will pop out uncontrolled. Understand what makes you react in a certain way in certain circumstances. Learn to regulate your emotions rather than suppressing them. Live and work to your values to reduce the number of times you feel conflicted and frustrated. When leading others, remember that people have their own emotions and thoughts. Most conflict comes from trying to prove you are right and the other person is wrong. Don´t let your self-worth be determined by other people´s views of you. Often, you are wrong about what they are thinking.BEST MOMENTS
âThere's always a backstory to the way people may be more risk averse or more excitable.â
âSuppressing your emotions can have negative consequences.â
âAccept that you are making a choice ⌠you are there because you have chosen this path.â
âEstablish healthy boundaries for yourself ⌠and do so before you come to harm.â
