COMMIT FIRST with Sagi Shrieber

Blair Robinson, or as he calls himself - The Naked Coach, is a successful coach that while still being a coach and working with people to transform their lives - has done something that many coaches don’t do: He built a community of over 34,000 people called “Practical Metaphysics” and is engaging with his community and putting out content on a regular basis.

Blair is practically the master of Facebook groups and is an experienced coach with a very interesting take on coaching from a metaphysical perspective.

In this conversation we talked about his story, then got SUPER detailed on the topic of Facebook group growth and engagement strategies (also got some practical tips on how to start one of your own if you haven’t yet).

Eventually we got to talk about coaching and he gave me some tips on that as well.

This was a super interesting conversation for me, and if you’re into coaching or launching/growing your own Facebook community - you’ll find some super practical strategies and tactics to apply immediately for your brand.

Ben Pines is the CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) of Elementor - the popular page building plugin for Wordpress.

Elementor has reached more than a million active users and is now considered one of the hottest plugins out there.

In this conversation I talked to Ben about how he came up and ended up joining Elementor 3 years ago and about his work there.

Now if you’re a Wordpress and Elementor fan - this conversation gets pretty technical at some point when I ask Ben about some features, so if you’re not technical about Wordpress feel free to fast forward that part to the last 10 minutes of the conversation.

I really enjoyed this conversation with Ben, hope you do to!

My guest this week is Allon Khakshouri.

Allon is a High performance expert, sports entrepreneur and former manager of three world #1 tennis players, including Novak Djokovic.

While he’d managed some of the world’s best tennis players, he’d witnessed first hand what distinguishes winners from everyone else. Their relentless desire to continuously find out how they can push themselves at every level in their lives. That’s exactly what Allon is all about teaching, and what I’m about learning, so this turned into a super interesting conversation!

We talked about the important things we need to understand to reach our next level of ourselves.

How to identify the stories we keep telling ourselves, and then re-program ourselves to break our own limiting beliefs.

Allon also talked about some practical strategies to apply, like the 4 principles of great visualizations and shared insights from working with these top athletes and how he applies that in his own life & business.

After this episode I promise you’ll be better equipped and super motivated to take yourself to the next level. Like a sports champion, but in your own field and life!

Naf Visser is an author, an entrepreneur & coach.

Naf is the CEO of Humans Working, an executive coaching firm that helps executives and teams build organizations that inspire innovation, productivity and loyalty.

He is also the author of “The Human Operating System – Why culture and mindset beat strategy”.

This is a SUPER important episode for anyone in the group because it’s on the mindful side of the Mindful & Ruthless spectrum. In this interview, we talk about mindset VS strategy. About the nature of our thoughts and their results on our business and life, and we also get to hear some truly amazing stories by Naphtali (i.e. what went through his mind when he was getting robbed at gunpoint).

Addition to the podcast: At the end of this episode we actually shut off the LIVE transmission to the Facebook group, and ended up continuing our conversation. We got into some super deep stuff. Fortunately — I accidentally still hadn’t stopped the recording of the session, and then after finding out, we decided to keep it. Raw, as it is… and share it with you all.

I think this is actually the MOST important part of the conversation, so be sure to stick around to the end!

Jason Zook is one of the most creative entrepreneurs that I’ve ever met or even heard of.

He left his dayjob, and managed to creatively build a 7 figure business called iWearYourShirt which was covered on almost every possible news outlet. He basically wore tshirts of brands and made a creative viral video on a daily basis wearing tshirts with the paying company’s logo.

But then he found himself in a lifestyle he did not want for himself - so he made a bold descision, shut down iWearYourShirt and make a new lifestyle for himself.

But that didn’t stop his creativity - Since then he self published a book in which he got a sponsor for every single page, sold his family name twice, invented a creative payment system to launching products online, and had multiple successful online courses.

If this is not enough, he sold his future with his crazy invention of buymyfuture.com’ - twice - before bringing in his lovely wife Caroline and selling HER future as well.

Our guest, as you can understand by now, always does things differently, and ever so creatively.

But he doesn’t stop there… He actually writes & podcasts about every piece of his process & journey transparently, sharing his decision making process, strategy and tools.

In this interview, we went into the topics of growing an email list and an engaged audience. We talked about getting things done - especially when it feels like you just don’t have enough time on your hands. We talked a little about sponsorship and also about starting out your brand.
