  • In this episode we dive into using story telling in emails can create a sales machine for any online business. For the last 20 years Bill has been using his copywriting skills to help coaches, consultants, and other businesses sell more through story telling. Specifically we talk about using email marketing combined with being interesting to help sell more products.

    Bill said "everybody is so obsessed with subject lines and they are important because that's the only way they're going to open, right. But if you consistently write entertaining, interesting emails, you're going to open it because the person is sending it. Not what's in the subject line." Basically, you, you don't need to be a master storyteller. You just need to be someone who's kind of interesting and different.

  • In this episode Vernon shares his story of learning how to be comfortable within himself and not trying to show up as anyone else besides the best version of himself. We talk about how growing up without his father impacted his view on life and where he would derive mentorship from. Vernon also provides some strategies anyone can use for more mindful living from his latest book 'The 7 Laws of Mindful Living'.

    Building a bridge between worlds, people, and cultures through leveraging technology, the spoken word, and the pen, Vernon T. Foster II is no stranger to adventure and defying convention. When the world valued specialization, he sought to become a generalist. Vernon opted to treat his 20's and early 30's as an experiment for building skills and honing his personal philosophy. Little did he know nor envision that his lifestyle would serve as a catalyst for creating a global movement and framework that would inspire others to follow suit. His work has been featured at Entrepreneur, General Assembly, The Good Men Project, and Podcast Movement.

  • Any entrepreneur will tell you that coming up with ideas is easy. What's hard is knowing if those ideas will turn into profitable businesses. This is where Kyler Graff has excelled in his journey of entrepreneurship and he has some incredible lessons to share if you are trying to get started in business.

    Kyler started his first business at the age of 10 by solving one of the most common problems any pet owner will face, poop. When he started mowing lawns he also realized that many homeowners with pets needed help cleaning up after their dog's messes. Offering both lawn care and pet waste removal (that's a technical term for it) he was able to make more money from each customer and they were happy to have both problems solved. This concept would serve him well in future years when he launched his residential painting company.

    Even with technology changing at a rapid pace every business will still need to validate an offer before committing too many resources into a new venture. Kyler shares how he proves if a business idea will work before getting too deep in the backend of the business as he calls it. Listen in and take notes because this episode could quiet literally save you hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in your next venture.

  • The most incredible opportunity in investing isn't in housing it's in digital real estate. Do you remember playing Monopoly the board game? If so this episode will open your eyes to the world of building digital assets just like putting a hotel on Park Place.

    Online business is becoming the new gold rush and digital assets are a real thing. What if I told you that an entrepreneur with a passion for golf was able to build a website that later turned into 2 million members in a paid community. Then that digital asset was acquired by the Golf Channel and NBC sports for an undisclosed amount of money, likely surpassing $100 million. Now that is the kind of digital real estate I would invest in.

    Digital real estate isn't created overnight, it takes three core components that I share in this episode. I encourage any entrepreneur who wants to build a digital asset listen to this episode.

  • Andy is a creative director, director and co-founder of video agency Swhype, based in the UK.
    With a fascination in film, after studying for a degree in graphic design, he moved to London to become a freelance runner and production assistant, before falling into the women's magazine industry after taking some freelance work. He quickly moved his way up from designer of a teen mag to Creative Director of Cosmopolitan (UK).

    Meanwhile Andy kept his foothold in the film world by hosting indie-film events, a video podcast and a mobile film festival called Cannes in a Van, with eventual sponsorship from Ford.

    In 2010 he left the publishing world to follow his dream of starting his own business – at first design and web- focused, then co-founding a 'creative motion agency’, providing animation and live-action video for brands and businesses.

    Andy’s interest in personal and professional development began while running the company as a way to manage the increasing workload that running a business brings. With no background in business he learned from the ground – this hunger for business learning led to the Scwair1 project – an initiative that explores how to start and grow a business from scratch in 2020 and beyond, from a new perspective.

    He currently runs a co-mentoring mastermind called The Mentor Exchange and hosts a podcast called Video Talks for creators, marketers and business owners who want to improve their video capabilities. He is also launching his own personal brand as The Creative Video Coach.

  • Most entrepreneurs start a business because they want to be their own boss or put another way, they want to be the captain of their own ship. Autonomy is one reason why I started my entrepreneurial journey. Unfortunately I've lost my way and have slipped away from what truly fuels me and provides a sense of purpose. In 2021 I'm getting back to what provides me with Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose and I hope this episode inspires you to do the same.
