    [00:00] Pre-show

    [03:43] Ace's art of creating content and documenting his process
    [06:38] How creating a playbook helped Ace build his academy and write a book
    [08:41] Ace's journey from working in a gas station to building Acez Academy
    [23:10] What inspires Ace in training and evolving people in sales
    [26:04] Commonalities between businesses doing the work but not getting the results
    [32:32] The challenge most salespeople face and how Ace helps them breakthrough

    [48:15] One sneak peek key to take away from Ace's book
    [51:52] Ending the show and call to action
    Key Takeaways:
    ~ If you want to build a business, one of the most important tools is documenting; create a playbook of how your business is going to operate to get rid of black holes where people have to call you to ask how to do something or who to go to. ~ [05:17]
    ~ The mind has to be right first, then you can focus on sales and with sales comes leadership; leadership can apply to your family, friends, business… ~ [17:30]
    ~ You might be in those shoes right now, where you don't have any recognition and the financial capability to grow, but if you keep adapting and changing, you will get it right, and this will open the door for another right time, and you will keep evolving through the tunnels of life until you eventually become the person you want to be. ~ [21:36]
    ~ If you want to be successful, show how you want to be successful; if you want to win, show how you want to win, how much you want, and how you are going to do it. ~ [33:10]
    ~ A lot of people go with the flow. But, creating something that you are comfortable doing right now and using the same script to play every single time is a lot more effective. ~ [37:20]
    The first thing you can do to start creating your playbook is to write down what makes someone successful in your industry, job, or passion and how you can implement that into your business in your own style consistently. ~ [37:46]
    A great sales or successful person takes a little bit from everybody; somebody who is ignorant or has stopped learning is closed off, and they don’t take anything of value from conversations. ~ [38:46]
    It is okay to have fun and entertainment, but at the same time, look for the growth, seek the growth, find the growth and grasp the growth; growth is not going to find you. ~ [44:04]
    Open up the door and be very curious in life because the more you open, the more you learn; one door opens the next door. ~ [49:56]

    Learn Speak Teach #36 w/ Chris Van Vliet

    Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/644XiSXLLzk
    -
    By asking the right questions, we can achieve almost anything. Find out how in today’s episode with Chris Van Vliet.
    Chris Van Vliet is a 4-time Emmy award-winning TV Host, Entertainment Reporter, and YouTuber based in Los Angeles, CA. He has traveled the world reporting on events like the Oscars, Grammys, and the Cannes Film Festival.
    You may be familiar with Chris's interviews on YouTube, but to call them “interviews” doesn’t seem fair because they are so much more than that. Chris dives deep into interesting topics with his trademark conversational approach, making it feel like two old friends catching up. This is the case when chatting with wrestling superstars like John Cena, The Rock, or Hulk Hogan, or a Hollywood A-Lister like Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, or Will Smith.
    Let’s tap into some of his wisdom.
    Tune in!
    During this episode, you will learn about;
    [00:00] Pre-show
    [03:13] Episode intro and a quick bio of our guest; Chris Van Vliet
    [05:01] Pains and struggles he overcame along his journey
    [08:36] The mindset shift Chris had to embrace when falling and having to start over
    [10:30] Why did Chris choose a career path in the communication space?
    [16:03] How Chris realized he was on purpose
    [20:28] Chris’ source of inspiration and people that helped him along the way
    [24:02] His secrets to creating rapport
    [26:03] Why everything you have or don't have depends on the questions that you ask
    [27:56] The importance of gratitude and why you must embrace it
    [30:31] How Chris built himself back up after being laid off
    [36:05] How he found traction in his career
    [39:12] Chris’ Youtube success
    [41:13] How to go viral on YouTube
    [44:20] What questions to ask a person of influence
    [48:28] Be genuine
    [51:22] Rapid Fire Round
    [53:21] How to connect with Chris
    Key Takeaways:
    ~ Things happen for a reason… Sometimes we don't know what that reason is until much later on in the future when we have more information about the situation and its outcomes.
    ~ Don't be a carbon copy of somebody else. Choose one thing from one person and another from a different person (and another) to create your own toolkit that will help you progress in life!
    ~ Success is a process, and by studying the process of success in others, you can improve your own. Learn the steps and methods successful people use to succeed, and emulate them. Successful people leave clues.
    ~ Try to build a good rapport with people so that when you ask a question that's difficult to answer, they will be more comfortable opening up to you.
    ~ Everything you have and don't have in your life is based on the questions you ask; asking better questions gets you better answers.

    Learn Speak Teach #35 w/ Erik Cabral

    Watch the full episode: youtu.be/kQFZvheVpRA
    -
    The pursuit of success can feel like mental slavery to the point where most people feel they have no choice but to conform and follow a certain lifestyle. We've become conditioned to believe that to be successful, we must sacrifice our time, energy, health, or even happiness. In reality, there are many ways we can gain success without giving up our personal genius.
    Join this conversation with Erik Cabral.
    Erik left corporate America after 20+ years. He jumped head first into real estate investing to achieve financial freedom. Educating himself, building networks, and analyzing hundreds of deals, he purchased his first multi-family building in less than one year.
    Now, Erik is also the founder of the fast-growing multi-media agency On Air Brands, host of The Entrepreneurs Circle Podcast, and a partner at the Renault Winery & Resort, which is the 2nd oldest winery in the US. In addition, Erik offers private capital to his network of investors for various projects and looks for opportunities to expand and grow his network in the real estate investing, podcasting, and entrepreneurial space.

    [02:05] Episode introduction and how to send meaningful DM’s
    [08:31] A quick bio of the guest; Erik Cabral
    [10:45] Erik’s childhood and his journey in and out of corporate America

    [21:07] Why he ventured into real estate after leaving corporate America
    [23:35] Nurturing the leadership within
    [26:30] Simple steps to start your journey to becoming consciously competent

    [39:31] Reach out to Erik
    [42:12] Rapid Fire Round
    [47:09] Wrap up
    Key Takeaways:
    ~ To me, success is truly waking up in the morning and owning my time. Time is currency to me.
    ~ The first twenty minutes of your day when you wake up are very critical. You will live the rest of the day with what you chose to pour into your mental factory (at the start of the day).
    ~ People's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death! That means that, if you're ever at a funeral, you'd rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy.
    ~ It’s okay to know a lot about everything, but I’m a big proponent about knowing a lot about one thing.

  • LST #33: John Livesay || Why “The Sale Is In The Tale”

    The old way to sell was to push your agenda or even pressure your buyer. Guess what? Times have changed. To stand out in the” sea of sameness,” you must be a master storyteller with a magnetic message that pulls people in.

    Storytelling is a powerful and persuasive way to communicate ideas. For example, a story about your company's values may keep customers loyal, and an engaging story about how you're solving customer problems may help close the sale.
    Join this episode with John as we explore how storytelling can be applied as a sales tool, marketing strategy, negotiation tactic, and more.
    John Livesay, aka The Pitch Whisperer, is a sales keynote speaker who shows sales teams how to turn mundane case studies into compelling case stories, so they win more new business.
    His TEDx talk: "Be The Lifeguard of Your Own Life," has over 1,000,000 views. Clients love working with John because of his ongoing support after his talk, which includes implementing storytelling skills.
    He is also the host of “The Successful Pitch” podcast, which is heard in over 60 countries. These interviews make him a sales keynote speaker with fresh and relevant content.
    His book The Sale Is in the Tale is a business fable set in Austin, TX, about a sales rep whose old ways of selling are not working anymore. The reader accompanies the rep on his journey and learns how to use storytelling and strengthen their soft skills to improve their sales.
    Let’s tap into some of John’s wisdom.

    Notable Quotes
    ~ “As an entrepreneur, you need to keep learning new skills to remain in the game. This will help you grow your business in terms of clients and revenues.”
    ~ “When we transcend the limited way in which we see ourselves, and truly realize that our identity is bigger than anything that is happening to us, we become free from the effects of external circumstances, and have a sense of inner peace.”
    ~ “A common misconception about human decision-making is that logic is the first line of defense. In reality, most people make their decisions emotionally and then back them up with logical arguments.”
    ~ “In storytelling, the better you describe a problem and show empathy, the more people think you have the solution.”
    ~ “The key to overcoming rejection is to never give up on oneself. Rejection can be faced head-on with a positive attitude and the perseverance to keep trying.”

    ~ The soul of anything is the spark that gives it life and meaning. The soul of business is what keeps the organization vibrant. It’s not the numbers, not the goals, or the objectives.
    ~ Obstacles are a part of life. If you don’t have obstacles, you are not stressed, and if you are not stressed, you are not growing.
    ~ Most organizations aren’t set up to flourish because they don’t provide the mechanisms by which that happens.
    ~ A leader’s job largely is to ensure that their people find ways to emotionally connect with the organization’s goals and objectives- Its soul.
    ~ The purpose of business is to uplift the experience of living on this planet. It is not to make money. Making money is a consequence of doing things well.

    Key Takeaways:
    ~ Everybody’s life experiences are the perfect preparation for what they need to do next, creating different perceptions of success.
    ~ Experiencing fulfillment becomes easier when self-love oozes from within. True fulfillment comes from giving selflessly all of yourself every day, and in every single way.
    ~ When you give, serve, uplift, and inspire people through what you do as a being, success and fulfillment follow you.
    ~ We are all on a different journey. Just like a vehicle taking all of us from point A to varied destinations of point B, it’s pointless to judge someone’s vehicle of transportation. We will all reach our destinations at different times.
    ~ Success is based on how we feel when we wake up and go to bed. Anything in between is not that important.
    ~ To stack success, you must move your body to create motion, with thoughts and sound (Energy in motion…E-motion).
    ~ You are 95% more likely to achieve your goal if somebody holds you accountable to that goal.
