Wrestling Cheers: " Where Everybody Knows Your Name"

We were happy this last time to have Chris Finneral,CEO & Co-Founder at SketchDeck on in an episode called, Where Design and Software Meet: Rethinking B2B Creative, Process and a Lot More. 

We talk about (among other things) this idea that the sales pipeline just appears over the horizon. I ask Chris, in his experience as a serial entrepreneur, is sales pipeline development that easy?

He says...

"It's prospecting, generating leads is always something which requires work. Even if you have something that's awesome that everyone wants, you need to really educate your market, educate the leads, and put a lot of work into that. I actually was reading a quote recently that was saying especially for startups, people always overestimate how hard it is to build the product and underestimate actually how much effort it is to acquire customers. I think that's very true. It takes a lot of work to get your pipeline and get lots of customers for your product."

Tim and Tom discuss NXT Takeover, The 2019 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, WrestleMania, Raw After Mania, and Smackdown After Mania.

In the years since the autism diagnosis rate has skyrocketed to breathtaking heights, the worlds of sports and autism have bonded for a strong, symbiotic relationship.

In this program, Keith Green, who founded the Autism MVP Foundation talks about his story as sports marketer, whose sports companies supported autism fundraising and also as a father with a child in the autism spectrum. Keith said in SportsMD.com:

“Sports… is a near-universal bond. Couple those factors with a disorder that can be hard to describe and understand, has no cure, can be difficult to manage for educators, therapists, and caregivers, and affects those diagnosed in a multitude of ways for their lifetimes, then it’s easy to see how a bond between sports and autism has formed and thrived.”

In the episode host, Cyndi Greenglass and her guest, Keith Green will discuss:

April is Autism Awareness Month- what exactly is autism and why is awareness of the disorder so important?

Keith’s personal journey and the family’s experience with autism.

How sports play a part in learning more about the disorder.

Who are some of the teams, athletes and organizations involved with autism?

The resources families can utilize if they suspect they have a child with autism.

A bit about the Autism MVP Foundation and upcoming activities.

Show Notes  Today my guest is our friend, Terry Hershey and do we have a bold subject today: It called “Instructions for Living.” Don’t worry; we’re using Instructions taken from another author.

In January of this year, one of America’s greatest contemporary poets, Mary Oliver, died. Terry and I plan to chat about a line from the poem “Sometimes” in her latest collection titled Red Bird. The line from the poem is this: “Instructions for Living a Life: Pay Attention, Be Astonished and Tell About It.” So let’s bring on Terry Hershey to chat about paying attention, being astonished, and then telling about it.   You can reach Terry at www.terryhershey.com For more with Charlie Hedges please visit www.thenextchapter.life
