JT Compeau is the owner of The Content Interpreter works to translate your speech so that people relate to the story and engage with you. This episode is all about delivering a keynote speech that will make an impression and be remembered.

Make sure that you are invested in your story and make it relevant and weave it into expertise. Some of the ways JT suggests to make this happen are to:

Make sure you are picking just one message to deliver-don’t try to impress your audience, pick one thing and be good at it. Your audience cannot follow many things at once so SIMPLIFY

Find the insight in what you are saying

Be you! Don’t try to sound smart and use words you wouldn’t normally use- be yourself.

We also discuss some tips and tricks you can use to eliminate those "umps" and "sooos" during your speech.

JT has been generous to offer a free guide to all my awesome listeners to help in taking your speech to the next level. https://www.contentinterpreter.com/free-guide (CLICK HERE).

Many of you know Jordan Syatt as the fitness coach who is crushing it on Instagram (over 600K followers!) and Youtube with his brutally honest and advice on fitnesses and nutrition.

Not only does he know what he's talking about in the gym, but he has shifted a large portion of his business from one on one client coaching sessions to his Inner Circle. This allows him to serve more people at once and gives people the opportunity to be coached by him who maybe could not afford his one on one rates.

Awesome stuff here for those of us who are looking to build an online community. I know I am trying to implement many of Jordan's ideas into the Talking Llama Herd, as I eventually shift to a member's only feature.

I hope you like this show and make sure you check out Jordan on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZk-b1KyEL9rovh7zdfw_lg and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/syattfitness/?hl=en

Joey Held is a fellow podcaster who hosts two podcasts Good People, Cool Things and Parks and Wrecked and is a pro on storytelling.

Joey discusses storytelling and ways to effectively communicate to your listeners. Some easy ways are simply putting yourself in the shoes (or shoe) of your audience in order to build relatability and credibility.

Think of a comedian who makes a living telling jokes about fatherhood and other adult related topics. That comedian then decides to take his act to college campuses. The story (or jokes, in this case) are not relatable to the audience, therefore there were not seen as "funny." In this example, the comedian was able to figure out the disparity and then tweaked his message to speak to his audience.

If all you are trying to do is promote yourself, it will not turn out well! Learn about your audience and make the story about them!

Today's episode features Max Warren, Co-founder and CRO of SpeakerFlow. His background is in Corporate sales with a focus on Voice, data and video applications and products and recently, he's been focusing on Business Development and Inside Sales in Professional Services. A brief outline of our conversation is below:

Intentional Thoughts and Actions

As leaders we have to have intentionality in thoughts AND action.

Bring full presence to a situation, think about leading someone, biggest thing is having a clear idea of where you are leading them, front or behind.

Be intentional about it because you have that responsibility on your shoulders and need to have an aim and outcome in mind.

Without a clear intention, how do you get others to buy in and come together as a team?

Communicate how actions now get to larger picture

Restate person’s statement, “what I heard you say was…” shared intention, active listening, start with questions

Get on call and have a meeting, at end, come back and ask, “do you feel like we covered everything?”

Gives them buy in and makes them feel validated.

Make a shared experience, not feeling hijacked, ASK QUESTIONS to ge clarity, repeat things back

Can’t lead someone who is disengaged, no sense of cohesiveness or trust- MUST get their buy in

Conflict and leadership

Show people how what they’re doing moves the needle for everyone.

Conflict, no definition of success, how can people figure out what is expected of them?

Lack of communication or leaving vacuum of unknowns does not work.

When someone's back is against the wall-the immediate response is to be defensive and to blame.

Part of intention is being a student of those around you-emotional intelligence

Have to care, be socially aware of what makes them tick, plays to their strengths

SHARED INTENTION is an art

Words have meaning and become more persuasive when there’s empathy behind them.

Sean is a podcast host of, you guessed it, The Sean Lowery Show! He talks about business and Entertainment. With the goal of being the voice on important, fun, and crucial conversations in business and society. Some have called him a cross between Gary Vee and Joe Rogan.

Sean has been recording his show for over 40 weeks, releasing weekly. He also has his own business of 15 people, https://www.united-monograms.com (United Monograms) designing monogrammed shirts. His products are beautiful and my wife and I are actually proud customers.

His episode lengths range from 5 minutes to 2 hour episodes and come in both solo and interview formats. Actually, his first 15 episodes were solo episodes.

When it comes to structure, Sean has a rough structure to his episodes, but likes to have no strict rules on his podcast and take the episode wherever he or the guest wishes to go.

Some of his advice to growing your own podcast is to put some thought into your audio, video and episode thumbnails-people are more apt to click on and listen to things that look good! He's also had success making a one minute highlight reel so that listeners can hear a teaser of the entire episode before they totally invest their time into it.

Sean is passionate about making your guests look good. If you are interviewing someone, you should make them look like and sound like the star of the show.
