Blake Beus  0:01  Hi, I'm Blake Beus, and I'm your marketing technology Maestro.

Greg Marshall  0:06  Hey, I'm Greg Marshall. I'm your social media marketing strategist.

Blake Beus  0:09  And this is the modern marketers podcast. Okay, so we want to talk about on this Motivation Monday, Monday motivation. I don't know which. Yeah, it's around. But

Greg Marshall  0:23  it's I think it's all good. We'll keep it open and flexible. Yeah. So I think, you know, we want to talk about change. And what was the quote that we change brings opportunity? Yes. So change. The funny thing about change is, I don't know about you. But I hate it. But I know that it's necessary. And all of the great things in my life have always come from changes. Yeah, even though I tend to resist them as much as possible. And I don't know if that's something that's just a thing that I worry and deal with all the time. Yeah. Or if you ever feel that way, but I do know that. Over the years, I have trained myself to understand, the more I resist something, the more likely I need to do it. Yeah. And it never feels good when I do it, initially. But it always turns out better. So what, what situations or experiences have you had?

Blake Beus  1:19  Yeah, well, I mean, look, the fact that matter is, every good thing that is coming in my life has come through some sort of difficult changes, like literally everywhere, difficult, difficult change, right, like easy changes, that's fine. But some sort of difficult change, whether that's, you know, when I first graduated college, doing job interviews and things, those those are all difficult than getting hired on that whole, the whole, like, first 30 days, that job is a very difficult Yes, or, or even when I got let go from my most recent job, which started my entrepreneur journey. That was a super difficult change as well, that was not like a fun situation to go through. But I'm happy with where I'm at now. Yep. And

Greg Marshall  2:05  you probably got a lot of benefits from from those changes. And even though they sting when those changes happen, they hurt.

Blake Beus  2:14  Yeah, they hurt really bad. They hurt really bad. So so, you know, let's talk about when you're presented with those difficult changes, like, is there a mindset? Greg, do you think that that helps you get through that? Or? Or is it just something you just realize, this is the hard thing, I'm just gonna plow through it or what let's talk about how to get through those difficult change. For me,

Greg Marshall  2:35  I know, in the past I've struggled with, with these changes, because a lot of times they come at like inopportune times, right? And it's not the picture, perfect idea that you had in your head, before these changes came about. But typically, what I tend to do, that I didn't do a long time ago, is I tend to surrender to it. So I actually think, Alright, this change is going to happen, whether I like it or not. So I'm going to have to make the best of this change. And I use past experiences as reference points to kind of, I guess, Kotoko made me feel better. Yeah, which is, I've gone through the changes before in the past, and I've survived. Yeah. And typically, not only have I survived them, but I've gotten better and stronger from them, even though the lessons that are learned are very challenging. And like I said, they stain while they're happening. And so the mindset I like to use is to surrender to a man to understand that I can't control everything in the world, I can only control few things. And so just focus on that, and not worry so much about, you know, the future and the anxiety that it can bring when you get these changes. So that's what's helped me in the past, as far as mindset wise, just it I think it's almost counterintuitive, at least to me, it's counterintuitive, which is to sur
