What if you discovered the magic of being truly present in your life, and in turn, tapped into your full potential? Prepare yourself for an intense journey into the mind of our guest, Derick Johnson, a US Army veteran turned extraordinarily insightful life coach. Derick unfolds his life story, tracing his roots back to his childhood, where he learned the crucial role of physical activity, a lesson passed down by his parents. He gives us a glimpse into how his time in the military, and life in general, has fine-tuned his knack for deeply connecting with people and inspiring them to transform into their best versions.

Leadership can be a slippery concept, but not when Derick Johnson is in the house. He challenges the convention with his unique definition of leadership, emphasizing the importance of leading by example, keeping open channels of communication, and setting ego aside. Derick also lets us in on his personal mantra of being fully present in life, cautioning against the pitfalls of multitasking. How can we stay present? He suggests using "pattern interrupters" and "anchors." But there's more! Derick encourages carving out precious time for loved ones and self-introspection - a proposition that will leave you thinking long after the conversation ends.

Just when you think it's over, Derick fires up another riveting discussion around 'Outwitting the Devil', a book by Napoleon Hill that has left a lasting impression on him. He underlines the book's focus on conscience in decision-making and warns against letting vices cloud our inner voice. Our chat concludes with Derick delving into the principles of leadership, a concept that he's refined over decades of coaching leaders across various domains. Get set for an enriching exploration into his philosophy, which promises to leave you with invaluable leadership tips and insights.

Are you tired of the relentless hustle culture? Join me as I sit down with entrepreneur, coach, speaker, and author, Alex Schlinsky, for an enlightening discussion on leadership and redefining success. Our conversation dives into Alex's journey from learning leadership principles from his parents to becoming a renowned coach working with top brands across 50 markets. We also delve into the joys and tribulations of leading a high-performing team and why prioritizing what matters most is the secret to balanced living.

Heart defects don't often lead to books, but for Alex, a life-altering genetic heart disorder became a catalyst for penning "The Anti-Hustler’s Handbook". In this heartfelt conversation, we explore the dangers of the freelancer's trap, an easy pitfall for entrepreneurs who bear the brunt of their businesses, pushing them towards burnout. With engaging anecdotes from Alex's personal life and his father's experiences, we unpack the concept of the freelancer's trap and how redefining success can help avoid it.

Ever felt like you're running on empty but still pushing the pedal to the metal? We have all been there, and in our chat, Alex shares enlightening insights on detecting burnout, the significance of emotional availability in sales, and why grace and kindness towards oneself are more critical than we realize. Finally, we delve into valuable coaching principles garnered from 20 years in leadership. Don't forget to connect with Alex on any social media platform to continue learning from this world class leader.

How does self-doubt sabotage you?

What was it like being addicted to drugs and alcohol from the age of 12?

What was the catalytic moment when you decided things had to change?

This week on the podcast, William interviews Travis Blackburn,  a Mindset/Training/Nutrition Coach who was addicted to hard drugs and alcohol starting when he was 12 years old, and who suffered from severe anxiety and depression throughout that time. 

Everything changed when he discovered he was meant for greater things, and he left his fraternity to get sober and start a new life. 

Only SIX months after getting sober and leaving his old lifestyle, he started his own copywriting agency which he scaled to netting roughly $7,000/month in income; he lost nearly 30 lbs of fat and built a massive amount of muscle with a six-pack to top it off; he eliminated self-doubt, depression, and anxiety; he wakes up EVERY morning, 7 days a week, at 3:30 AM to go to the gym.

His PRIMARY focus now is my online mindset/training/nutrition program where he instills the discipline that he’s learned over the years into other people.

Follow Travis and continue learning from him at https://www.instagram.com/travissblackburn/

What's the biggest missing ingredient in most marketing departments?

How can your 4P process for marketing success help MY team?

What are the biggest changes we'll see in marketing in the next decade?  What will NOT change?

This week on the podcast, William interviews Roy Furr. Roy discovered direct response marketing in 2005, between calls at a miserable customer service call center. Within months, he became the top marketing guy at an IT Training publisher, putting them on the Inc. Magazine list of America’s fastest-growing businesses — three times.

By 2010, he pivoted into his own business full-time, consulting, copywriting, and now providing fractional CMO and Copy Chief services for direct marketing entrepreneurs, especially in wealth-related niches.

He quickly became known for creating seven-figure-plus campaigns and breaking sales records, has made millions for his clients, and his client list is a “Who’s Who” of his niches. 

Roy publishes his daily Breakthrough Marketing Secrets newsletter and podcast.  He's trained, coached, and mentored other copywriters, marketers, and entrepreneurs to their own success.  He's the author of two books, The Copywriter's Guide to Getting Paid, and The Ultimate Selling Story.

For more information on Roy's Fractional CMO & Copy Chief services, check out RoyFurr.com.
