A professional goalkeeper gives his perspectives on storytelling. Jeff Attinella, goalkeeper for the Portland Timbers, shares stories about the mindset of a soccer goalkeeper, playing for the Portland Timbers, and an athlete creating content. All the while he is sharing lessons to apply to his business career--and yours.

A little bit about our guest:

Jeff led the Timbers’ team to the 2018 MLS Cup. He played college soccer in his home state at the University of South Florida. His junior season he was an All American and Big East goalkeeper of the year.  

Besides being a goalkeeper, Jeff is husband, father and content creator. A creator in the sense that he is a podcast host and children’s book author. You can hear his podcast From J to Z on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. His children’s books can be found on his publishing platform, ItHadToBeTold.com or Amazon. You can see links to his books below. After you spend time listening to Jeff and learning about his story, you will absolutely be drawn to his content.  

One thing that really stood out in this chat is Jeff’s mindfulness. We believe you’ll come to understand what I mean after listening to this conversation.

We are excited to feature Jeff Attinella on the Entrepreneur Perspectives Podcast.

Do you genuinely value your customers? Customer service is a bit of a buzz word that is thrown around by many companies. These companies feel that just by saying it, they are actually providing good customer service.

Listen to this episode of Entrepreneur Perspectives to hear the thoughts of Eric Kasimov and Mitch Long on customer service.

Thinking of starting your own podcast? Good. Now let's talk about the podcasters mindset! There's a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to podcasting. Allow two experienced podcasters that both own their business (one in marketing and insurance and the other in legal) help you understand what to think about when it comes to podcasting and content in general. If you are a lawyer, financial advisor, insurance agent, or business professional, we hope this chat helps disclose some truth behind starting a podcast -- all of it to help you build the podcasters mindset.

If you are in a professional services business, you are probably thinking, why would I have a podcast?

Let this conversation be your guide as to why you should have a podcast as an individual in a professional service business.

While this chat is some months old, it is absolutely applicable right now. Since this chat, the individual Eric speaks with, Michael Elkins started his own lawn firm, MLE Law in Miami, Florida. There are references to his old firm which proves that creating content applies to both someone at a larger firm and someone running their own business.

The bottom line is, if you are a business leader with specific thoughts to share, you should consider creating content either on your own or with a team.

We hope you enjoy this chat about podcasting with both Eric Kasimov of KazSource and Michael Elkins of MLE Law.
