July 24, 2019 Brian Kurtz
On today's episode, Bruce speaks to Brian Kurtz , a serial direct marketer for the past 35+ years , about how he spent the first 34 years of his career helping boardroom Inc , becoming a state-of-the-art direct marketing and publishing company and teaching all he learned doing that.
Brian love direct marketing. Starting in the list business gave him a solid foundation in learning about audiences, demographics and database marketing; then, working in all media helping Boardroom sell millions of newsletter subscriptions and consumer books put all of that list training to good use.
While direct mail is his bread and butter… He has overseen the mailing of approximately 1.3 billion pieces of third class mail over the past 20 years… He has been able to market and sell newsletters and books via direct response television (infomercials) and using e-mail and the Internet in huge numbers.
At the height of their infomercial success, He was responsible for buying media in excess of $80 million and we sold over 3 million books via direct response television over a three year period. And since he has never met a medium he didn’t like, he has learned the ins and outs of every possible medium where direct marketing lives and thrives. He is proud to have cut his teeth in the offline world of direct marketing and Brian is finding that the principles he has followed over the past 30+ years all apply to any and all “new media.”
He is committed to educating any and all online marketers who will listen…and he is also committed to “learning while teaching” because there is still so much to learn. And in his free time you're likely to catch him working with his other passion - being an umpire for Little League Baseball.

June 28, 2019 Ron Pitcher
On today's episode Seth speaks to Ron Pitcher, President of Pitcher Insurance Agency, about how his primary objective is to build and maintain a partnership-type relationship between our clients, our insurance markets and our agency.
Ron had been working in insurance during the summers at the agency owned by his father, Atwood Pitcher, and uncle. After graduating with a business degree, he went to work full-time in that agency. Ron worked with his dad and uncle for five years but felt constrained and decided he needed to step out on his own. He went to work for another agency, then another, and then another agency. Yes, that's right, he went through three agencies in rather short order, as a result of sudden acquisitions and other bizarre twists, leaving Ron frustrated and jobless.
Ron decided to set up shop on his own, found an agency in walking distance that had desk space. He rented a small corner of the office and started making cold calls. And then fate gave him one more right upside the head. That office was closed due to centralization and Ron was officeless, broke and in debt. And, needless to say, somewhere beyond frustration.
Fate seemed to be saying something to Ron, but he refused to listen. He was determined to succeed in the insurance business. As he notes, "My dad got me into this business and I knew it was a great business to be in. I also knew there was no easy road to success."

June 12, 2019 John Corcoran
On today's episode, Seth speaks to John Corcoran ,a co-founder of Rise25, about how they helped B2B businesses to get more clients, referral partners and strategic partners through done-for-you lead generation, podcasts, and in-person events.
He graduated law school at the worst time to find work as an attorney and worked a series of jobs for small firms. During this time he wasn’t making enough to tackle the debt mountain. It wasn’t until he started his own firm that he could start to make some progress. In 2010 he sold his rental property and a year and a half later sold his condo, it wasn’t a great time to sell but it enabled him to clear most of the debt. Not everyone has property to see in order to pay off debt but not everyone accumulated that debt by taking out huge lines of credit.
John has always enjoyed writing and has always been good at developing relationships. He married these things together and started Smart Business Revolution to teach others how to build relationships that will help further your career. Sadly, he confirms that it’s more whom you know than what you know. It’s not fair but you know it so growing your network is important.
