Clarity Compressed with Paul J. Daly

I can't believe that 200 weekly episodes have been made. Every week for almost four years, the team and I found a way to make it happen. Because YOU have made it worth it.

As I shot this episode, it was appropriate that I was on the road with nothing more than my phone, a paper towel holder I lifted from the hotel room, and a microphone. I just received the 2021 Diversity Advocacy Award from the National Association of Minority Auto Dealers in Miami, when my wife Sara encouraged me to celebrate the wins for a moment.

So that's what I'm talking about today! I hope you stop and celebrate with me =)

Pursue Clarity,

Paul

Clarity Fam,

I’ve never come back to the office to record a podcast AFTER I already went home for the weekend…until this week. It was one of those days where two parents were running around managing five kids. Just when I thought the moment had turned on us, we received the most pleasant surprise.

That’s how life is sometimes. Well, a lot of the time actually. I hope this episode helps you see through the fog of life just a little more clearly.

Have a great week and Pursue that Clarity!

Paul

PS: I’m putting on a big, year end livestream through The Automotive State of the Union on Monday, December 20th. Even if you aren’t in the Auto Industry, it will still be a whole lot of fun to drop in on. You can start getting settled in by joining this LinkedIn Event.

Todays show is especially fun because the source content is, well, REALLY fun. I do a flyover of a recent purchase experience from a former guest on the show, Jesse Cole, CEO of the Savanna Bananas baseball team. (Check it out here)

To top it all off, I bought it with bitcoin!

It's a story or customer experience, surprise and delight, crypto currency, and more.

I hope it gets you thinking outside the box and smiling at the same time.

Pursue Clarity and HAVE FUN,

Paul

As we break out the dinnerware, get that turkey thawing, and prepare for those awkward family conversations, I thought it would be a good to share a little secret about my brain (and yours) I learned over the last week. Negativity Bias.

Yes, believe it or not, our brains are hardwired to see the worst possible things before we can even think about things that help us grow and develop. Well that explains a lot, LOL.

As we head into a week of focusing on the GOOD things over the Thanksgiving break, this little bit of knowledge might be just the hack you need.

Pursue Clarity...and Thankfulness.

Isn’t it so easy to be critical? Being critical costs nothing. No risk, no pain, no exposure. But to actually DO is altogether different. This week I talk about the insecurity that’s in the driver’s seat in the times I get critical.

That’s all it is. Insecurity.

The antidote is doing. Risking. Going for it. We get a little help from an epic quote as we dare to brave living a life beyond. Beyond the fear, beyond the danger, beyond the comfort of a critic’s couch.

Pursue Clarity,

Paul


PS: If you didn’t know, I started a daily podcast called The Automotive Troublemaker with friend and biz partner, Kyle Mountsier. Even if you aren’t in automotive, there is something for you. We talk business, leadership, and culture. Check it out here.

Several weeks ago I received a letter in the mail that made me feel amazing. Yes, a good, old fashioned piece of paper. It was to notify me that I have been named a 2021 Diversity Advocacy Award by the National Association of Minority Auto Dealers (NAMAD). I wrote a post about it here.

It really got me thinking about the phrase "I see you." An acknowledgement of your intention, work, and heart. I go deeper in this weeks episode and hope you will join me on my quest to encourage others with those three simple words.

Pursue Clarity,

Paul

I was about to go pick up my motorcycle and shoot a great podcast from the vintage garage in Rochester NY with the owner. But then…my trailer harness didn’t work when I attached the trailer. No brake lights meant not trip.

Instead, I hit up a great local spot to regroup and talk about what we do when our plans get wrecked. If anything, I hope you realize it’s not just you

Pursue Clarity,

Paul

Clarity Fam,

I know a lot of you are on the hustle creating content and posting. If you are like me, you are tempted to measure the ROI of a post based on likes, impressions, views, or clicks. I want to tell you first hand, that those metrics are liars.

In today's episode I talk about how a single post with only 4 likes kicked off an ROI that is so great, I won't be able to measure it for years.

Your efforts go so much further than you think.

Pursue Clarity,

Paul

I just came back from an incredible week where my fellow troublemakers and I put on the “Here’s To The Troublemakers” event in Las Vegas during Digital Dealer week and it exceeded my expectations!

An industry leader-friend dubbed it the “World of Automotive Outlaws of Podcasting”…and he was right! I’m going to be releasing lots of content from the event over the next weeks and months. But for today, I’m digging into the difference between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ trouble.

Here’s a hint, I believe we need MORE of the good kind. More of those willing to talk about what’s actually happening, when the rest of the world is stuck living in the popular narratives.

I hope you’ll join me!

Pursue Clarity,
Paul

This question has been rolling around in my head and on my LinkedIn, “Who is more successful…those who are “ready” or those who are “certain”? You can see all the conversation around a LinkedIn poll I posted here. 

In today’s episode I drill down a little more into WHY I think the way I do on this. We’re going to talk about business, the battlefield, and the things that hold me back internally.

One thing is for sure, I’m working to get CLARITY on this so that we can keep marching forward together!
