Hustle & Flow

When you first hear the word, "storytelling", you may automatically assume the reference is to an exaggeration of a narrative. Expert storyteller coach, Mike Ganino, debunks this common misconception as he further explains storytelling through business use. Mike's journey didn't begin in his current field of coaching clients on how and why to tell stories, but through various careers in areas of hospitality, improv, culture coaching, speaking and more, where he has gained invaluable experience in the power of a story. Through storytelling, Mike discusses how he helps his clients learn to provide factual information by adding life and emotion to the process so that people will more accurately remember the information.

In this episode you will learn:

• How Mike Ganino has used the classic "yes, and" taught in improv to transition and advance his career over the past 20 years

• Find out how Mike's business has matured over the years and how Mike began working as an expert in storytelling

• Hear how Taylor Swift's strong brand and marketing approach makes her a master at storytelling

• Learn how storytelling provides more than just the facts and information, but an interesting way for the human brain to retain information

• Worried that you don't have a good story to tell? Mike explains how everyone has a good story and how to use it to your advantage • Learn how you can get started using Mike's storytelling craft exercise on his website, www.mikeganino/storycraft

Join me as I kick off Life & Law LIVE in Miami with women representing 26 different states and 2 countries. I dive into the challenges we all face as we quickly approach the new year. We are hard wired to make change in our lives, yet many of us are so consumed with the end-goal of change that we forget to enjoy the journey.

You may wonder why you can't be satisfied with what you already have. You may want change to create more balance in your life or to find more adventures or maybe it is an opportunity for more success that you are looking for. Whatever it is, you want more. Join me as I help my listeners understand exactly what you want and why. What is pushing you to want more and what is your end-goal? And, more importantly, are you enjoying the journey to the change along the way?

We have officially opened registration for our two-day live event next year, happening November 12th and 13th in San Diego! This event will be for anyone preparing for 2021, not just lawyers (and yes, it's open to men too). If you sign up before the end of this year, you will get an early bird discount of 25% off the event price. Use the discount code "EARLYBIRD" at checkout when you register at http://heatherjoyhubbard.com/live.

What we cover in this episode:

• Learn why we have this deep desire to have more in our lives

• Listen as I explain how some of us feel like we are in our "peak" years and yet we aren't exactly where we want to be

• Learn why the big goals and big dreams aren't going to make you happy unless you focus on the journey to that happiness

• Dive into the details of what Hustle and Flow really means and how your life can see change through both hustle and flow

Dr. Valerie Rein is a psychologist and brilliant businesswoman who magically came into my life a few years ago. It's been so much fun watching her business grow and running into each other in the most random situations.

She has a new book, Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment, coming out next week so I had to have her on the podcast.

From generational trauma to patriarchal systems (including medicine and psychology), Dr. Valerie shares how and why women have been trained to believe that they are broken and that something is wrong with them.

She's on a mission to change that narrative and provide practical tools to overcoming this epidemic. To pre-order her book, and receive the first chapter for free, all you have to do is go to https://www.drvalerie.com/book.

What we cover in this episode:

• How Dr. Valerie went from an overworked psychologist to a coach and speaker based on a health scare that set her on a new path

• Generational trauma and what she defines as "Patriarchy Stress Disorder"

• Why we tend to minimize and deny trauma and the reasons why you often need more than just talk therapy

• How change can happen very fast when you use trauma healing tools and techniques

• Dr. Valerie's personal lessons from writing her new book

It can be scary when you make big investments in yourself and your business. To help with your decision-making process, and to ensure that you stay focused on what matters most to you, it's important to identify and calculate the return on investment (ROI) that you're expecting. Sometimes that's a financial return, but it doesn't have to be. Whether you're hiring a service provider, renting more office space, or adding new employees, getting clear on your expected ROI is a powerful tool.

Here's what I'm sharing in this episode:

• How to determine if an investment is "worth it"

• Why ROI isn't always about financial gain (and what else you need to consider)

• Examples from my own business on how I've calculated ROI when determining whether to make an investment

• If you're not happy with the results, you might be surprised to know the real reason why…

• Why it's so important for service providers and their clients to get clear on expected ROI to avoid disappointment and misunderstandings

I believe that websites are important for all businesses. While it may not be your primary marketing or sales tool, a good (or bad) website creates an immediate impression of your brand as well as your credibility, expertise, personal style, and use of technology. In the constantly-evolving digital age, it's something we all need to be looking at and updating every single year – both in terms of aesthetics, functionality, and conversions. I'm redoing my website right now for these very reasons, so I wanted to bring on my web designer and developer, Amber Vilhauer, to share her best tips with you as well.

What we cover in this episode:

• How Amber went from a marketing and sales corporate superstar to starting her own agency

• Lessons learned from a decade of entrepreneurship

• Why narrowing your focus and speaking to your ideal customers is critical to the success of your website (and business)

• Tips and strategies for creating an effective website

• Why everyone needs a website and how it can help move your business and career forward starting right now
