Clarity Compressed with Paul J. Daly

Have you ever had one of those moments where you feel like time has gone by at lighting speed but ALSO at a snail’s pace? I had one of those moments this week as I recorded the 100th episode of the Clarity Compressed Podcast. I’ve had my share of good fortune to land so many great guests and want to make sure you hear from them.

I’ll be revisiting my time with Gary Vaynerchuk, Carvana CEO Ernie Garcia, Claude Silver, Dr. Nicole Lipkin, Guy Kawasaki, Dale Pollak and more in this fun and fast-moving episode. It kind of felt like doing a director’s cut of the entire show from the start.

ALSO, I’ll be doing an interactive LIVE version of this show on LinkedIn Wednesday the 15th at 2 p.m. EST. If you follow me on LinkedIn you will get a notification when we go live and can join the conversation. Hope to see you there!

On behalf of myself, and the entire Clarity Compressed team, I want to thank you for listening, watching, sharing, commenting and encouraging us to keep producing. If there was no ‘you,’ there would be no ‘us’!

We’re just getting into the first lap of the new year and it’s time to settle into the practical execution of all those hopes, visions, and goals for 2020. Inspiration is one thing, execution is something else altogether. 

This week I’m brining an illustration that is helping me prioritize and focus…

This year I’m resolved to set the tone for home life and Congruent and I know so many of you have similar trajectories in your world. Regardless of our intentions, life happens, and we get distracted…easily. That is why clearly identifying the BIG “rocks” and doing things that ensure that they stay aligned at the center is critical if you want the results you SAY you want. 

Clarity on the big things, leads to alignment on the small things.

Although I’m not a fan of ‘resolutions’, I am a huge fan of the fresh feeling the new year always brings. And 2020 is a special one. I mean, come on, 2020…Clarity…its like this year was made for me! It’s not only a fresh year, but a fresh decade and a perfect opportunity to reboot your mindset. That being said, I’d like to talk about what I’m going to STOP doing this year. 

Most resolutions fail, however, I believe if you keep things simple and clear, your chances of lasting, positive change are much more likely. You know it’s true. So instead of long lists of aspirational good-intentioned things, just pick 2 simple things to execute: One thing you will STOP doing, and one thing you will START doing. Write them down, put them on your screen saver, make them difficult to get away from and go. 

2019 has been a difficult, but good year and I’m going to be shaking things up quite a bit in 2020 in my personal and professional life, so watch out for some new vibes and tribes coming from me, Congruent, and the entirety of the Clarity Compressed ecosystem. 

May 2020 be a prosperous year filled with an abundance of CLARITY for you and your families!

It’s Christmas Eve and the holidays are in full swing, and boy do we need it with all the negativity running a full-out blitzkrieg on our peace. This week I talk about giving over receiving and I’m backed up by our friends at Harvard.

We don’t get to choose when we receive, but we absolutely get to choose when and what we give! I’m also hoping to launch my own little offensive on the negative vibes going around with #complimentAcompetitor

Good-hearted, whole-hearted competition in the marketplace makes us all better and I want to take a moment to compliment one of my worthy competitors and give you a platform to do the same.

So go on your platform of choice (or all of them) and give a warm compliment to one of your competitors. I think we might just be amazed and encouraged at what the result is. And when you do, use the hashtag #complimentAcompetitor

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

As I recorded this episode, I was thinking a lot about the practical things of life and business. I don’t know about you, but life and business are often moving so fast that I need to keep things simple if they are going to be usable in my everyday life.

It’s one of the reasons I come up with phrases like “Innovation is a choice,” and put them on a t-shirt. They are simple, but immediately usable reminders of what I believe is true.

This week I talk about three principles I believe can help you in your everyday busyness to help protect you against the lies that hack away at your personal and organizational health and will help keep you centered on true principles.

As we get close to the new year, getting these things straight could make a major difference in 2020.

This is one you won’t want to miss as I had the chance to sit down with one of the most uniquely gifted entrepreneurs we’ve ever had on the show. It’s the customer-experience wizard author of Find Your Yellow Tux: How to be Successful at Standing Out and the founder/owner of the wild Savannah Bananas Baseball team in Savannah, Georgia.

It’s hard to explain, but it involves an all-grandma dance team, crazy on-field antics, a breakdancing first-base coach, oh…and there’s some really good baseball in there too. All of this led by our guest. Literally. This is what happens when The Greatest Showman decides to make a baseball game the stage.

Don’t let the fun fool you though, Jesse is an entrepreneur through and through. He runs a business. He knows what it’s like to risk it all, mortgage his dream home, and put it all on the line.

I love his story most because he has been able to align an organization in a manner that is different than the way it’s “supposed” to be done. I believe that in many established industries, this mindset is what helps organizations truly gain market share and grow.

I know you’ll enjoy this one.

I’m standing in the middle of a dump of a building for this week’s episode. Who would own a dump like this? Me. My wife and I just bought this building and have really big plans to renovate it into the new Intergalactic Headquarters of Congruent.

Growing is very, very hard work. I’m reminded of a season in my first business where growing almost killed us. That’s when I really learned that growth is transitionary. It costs something. It was so impactful that I made it the theme of the year and we even scripted and shot a video to memorialize it. (This was before I had an agency, BTW… It was actually the birth of an agency)

This week I’m talking about something every successful business and individual must come to terms with if they are going to succeed. The transaction of growth.

I hope you gain some perspective on any situations you are currently growing through as you connect with this message. Be encouraged and inspired that NOTHING worth anything comes without transacting with growth.

This episode comes from the middle of a big week, and also while standing directly in front of the Atlantic Ocean. I talk about the fear we all face if we are going to move forward in life. Just like there’s no way to run a marathon without getting tired, there is no way to move forward without fear.

I had the mixed emotions of fear and excitement. Afraid, because like any artist, I’m wondering how the world will respond to the new Brand Is Gravity Workshops we just released. We gave it our best, but is that enough? I believe it is, but the world gets to decide for themselves.

I’m excited because I’m at a conference in Palm Beach, Florida for some of the leading minds in the automotive space and was able to share some of our findings from a full year of brand-first deployments in automotive marketing and it went over BIG!

Those two parallel rails of fear and excitement will always be with those who are moving forward in business and life. The sooner you accept it and acknowledge it, the better off you will be.

On next week’s show, I’ll be going deep on a companion episode around what I call, “The Transaction of Growth.” I consider it the counterpoint to this episode and hyper-relevant as we enter the last month of the year.

I’ve been working on getting some more variety with our guests lately and today is no exception. We’re talking with Alex SanFilippo who has a very successful podcast, has created his own social platform, and is also an aerospace executive. What could go wrong?

We get into the nitty-gritty of the brand buzzword wars going on and how great brands actually deploy not only externally, but also as a tool to align their internal operations, product launches, and, oh yeah, marketing.

I know you will walk away with some fresh ideas from this weeks show!

It’s an awesome week on the show because I got to sit down with long-time marketer and EVP of the breakout agency 97th floor, Paxton Gray. If you pay attention to where others are paying attention (aka, a business owner or marketer) then I know you will benefit from Paxton’s experience and insights.

You know how I believe the best marketing is HUMAN. Well, Paxton agrees and we get into some strategies and tactics that will help your efforts connect. He was also super generous and sent me 2 SIGNED copies of Seth Godin’s latest book, This Is Marketing to give to 2 lucky members of the Clarity Compressed Podcast.

If you want to get one:

Head over to brandisgravity.com and click ‘request access’ to be the first to know when we launch our new workshops THEN

Take a screenshot of your confirmation and tweet it to me @paulthedaly

We’re going to ship out the book to 2 lucky winners. Until next time, have a great week and PURSUE CLARITY!
