A 23-year professional career inside global Fortune 500s in diverse functions and industries exposed Cash to different corporate cultures with different styles of leadership.  Through these experiences, Keahey realized the symbiotic relationship between leadership and culture: that leaders create a culture around them, but in order to succeed, must lead in a culture that values their uniqueness.  From Jung’s theory of psychological types, Cash developed eight LeaderType™ profiles and published Eight LeaderTypes in the White House.  Cash’s predominant LeaderTypes are Proactive, Persuasive and Inclusive.

Prudent: a stabilizing, conscientious guardian who leads with information and practicality

Proactive: an action-oriented realist who leads with a sense of urgency and pragmatism

Innovating: a pioneering, transformative catalyst who leads into the ‘new’ with inspiration

Visionary: an enigmatic, inventive prophet who leads with prescience and purpose

Inclusive: a caring, self-deprecating servant who leads with values and empathy

Persuasive: a tactful, collaborative influencer who leads with dialogue and encouragement

Take Charge: a delegating, results-oriented driver who leads with principles and conviction

Independent: a resolute, self-reliant thinker who leads with clarity and critique

Cash discusses the leadership style for business that is most suited is the innovating type style.  This type of style is probably most suited for being an entrepreneur simply for the pioneering and seeking a transformative type of change.  Someone that is looking to disrupt a market and bring a new idea along.

Walt Disney was a genus innovating visionary type.  Cash and Ken discuss how the board meeting might have gone when Walt presented a mouse as a main character.

Jon Dykstra is a niche website content creator and owns several niche affiliate websites that draws over 1.6 million unique page views monthly to the sites. He has refined his process as he shares how to build your dream business with several niche website ideas.

Jon started out in a brick and mortar business and started blogging for that business.  That blogging eventually led Jon to leave his previous business and move into the niche website content model completely.  His ability to drive traffic to these niche affiliate sites with the use of ad networks as well has fueled his digital media growth.

Jon discusses how to build your dream business with niche sites.  He takes and researches a specific niche and conducts research which mainly uncovers the markets thirst for the niche.

It has been trial and error for Jon as to picking a niche website to build content around that will drive traffic.  Some of his site that he started actually have not performed very well and did not go anywhere.  Attributing that the sites were not a good fit for him.

The ones that have done well he attributes to niches that messed well with him and having an interest in the niche.  You don't have to have a passion for the niche, but having an interest and desire to learn more about the subject is helpful.

Once you have a few niche website with content up and running and looking for other niche website ideas, Jon recommends that you consider a niche that works well with your existing niche websites.  Cross promote niches where you can email one niche list to send them to your new niche website content.

Two ways that Jon monetizes his niche websites are affiliate products and thru display ads.  Affiliate products from companies such as Amazon and the display ads are from google ad sense.

Most traffic is thru organic search and some social.  Facebook used to be a great source of traffic but after Facebook changing the algotherm, that traffic has dried up.  Pinterest is one of the best social traffic using Pins.  Jon recommends that you pin fewer and focus on the quality of the pins.  Jon recommends using ahrefs for keyword research.
