His parents provided the distinct foundation for what he does today.

His mother was an art teacher.

In college, his father took him to client meetings.

When he claimed boredom as a kid, his mother pointed him to the crayons and stacks of paper.

Later, in the corporate world, his skills grew while surrounded by other great artists.

Rising tide lifts all ships as they say.

When he left the corporate world at first it seemed like it was going to be a much tougher road…

until a FedX package from Dan Kennedy landed on his doorstep.

Email legend Matt Furey became his coach and Vince spoke at several Kennedy events.

Everything was humming along untilt he recession years of ’08-10.

Creditors were calling…

Tax man wanted his money…

He was in arrears for child support…

So he contacted a former client and proposed something radical.

A professional wager of sorts agreed.

Neither Vince nor his client were expecting what was to happen next.

It was magical…

In this episode, you’ll discover:

* The incredible “nothing to lose” conversion wager betwen Mike and his client. (And the amazing results!)

* Two big reasons Vince leveraged involvement with “mentors” to get his business booming. (Besides getting actual coaching).

* Why it’s important to test, test, test. (The tweaking that led to a staggering bump over and above the orginal results).

* How to earn “big profits” using so-called plain or “ugly” graphics.

* How to manipulate your presentation when you can’t afford to do the whole thing “Vince’s way”.

Mentioned:

Intro and outro backing music: Forever More by CREO

David Allan: Hey everybody welcome to another edition of the podcast- I have an exciting guests here today because when I was young I was really into cartooning and writing comics and actually I had a babysitter are mine who sort of got me into that because he’d written a graphic novel. And of course now we’re talking about marketing and we have Vicne Palko on the show today how are you doing Vince?

Vince Palko: Doing awesome David, thanks for having me.

David Allan: I can already tell it’s going to be interesting conversation given the technical difficulties of trying to put me in some kind of chokehold here already this morning.

Let me take us back Vince because I don’t really know that much about you.

I mean I see your website of course about a little research on you but maybe take us back to before you got into marketing what you were up to and sort of how you snuck your way into this. This varied and vast enterprise.

Vince Palko: Sure sure. So I’ll take you all the way back to the beginning when I was a young kid. I had two passions to love loves the first being sports and second being Aardman mother was an art teacher. She taught me everything I know. The beautiful thing about having a mom who is an art teacher is she brings back pamphlets and history and things about different art to choose always sharing all kinds of different things...
