Technically Speaking

In today's episode, we've brought the legendary, Rich Mulholland in to talk about his new book, Here Be Dragons.

Now, we don't often have episodes that focus on someone's book. We take the recommendations we give you seriously and only want to share vetted content that will actually help.

That being said, Here Be Dragons is on the top of our list of recommendations because Rich has made it dead simple to take the story you tell about yourself, and supercharge your business by telling the story of your audience instead.

To put it simply, it's not about you.

Join us as we unpack why you're the world's best kept secret and what you can do about it.

See you in there!

Today, we're talking about kindness. What it actually is, how it's different than being nice, and how you can leverage it as a business strategy.

To help us with this topic is kindness expert and speaker, Shola Richards.

As a speaker, Shola has shared his transformative message of kindness and his Go Together Framework with leading healthcare organizations, top universities, Silicon Valley, the motion picture industry, on the TEDx stage, and in his greatest honor to date, this past September, he was invited to testify in front of the Select Committee on Capitol Hill to share his expert recommendations on how to bring more civility to Congress.

Last, but certainly not least, Shola is a father, husband, identical twin, and a self-professed "kindness extremist" who will not rest until bullying and incivility is extinct from the American workplace.

Shola is one of the most purpose-led individuals we know and we're honored to have him on the show today.

Let's get into it!

One of the hardest disciplines to master as a business owner is focus.

In fact, it's the whole reason why we started SpeakerFlow and our coaching program.

Before anyone can make use of fancy strategies and business systems, before they could start selling and marketing, before they could build a team and get out of the weeds, they need focus and clarity about the direction they're heading.

As a visionary, lack of clarity is your kryptonite.

And today, we've brought in the master of focus. A legend, really - Mark LeBlanc.

Mark LeBlanc, CSP runs a speaking business in Minneapolis. He conducts presentations on how to create extreme focus and put more money in your pocket as a business owner. As a business coach, he has clocked over 20,000 coaching hours on how to start and grow a successful business. In fact, he is the author of six books, including his first book, Growing Your Business! As a result of his work, people often share they are more focused daily, generate undeniable momentum and do more of the good work they are called and compelled to do. On a personal note, when not speaking or coaching – he often goes on a short, five hundred mile walk across Spain. His next walk is in 2023.

Let's dive in!

In today's episode, we're meeting with Massimo Zefferino to talk about how being more human is the secret sauce to branding.

We're talking about how so many brands (especially personal ones) aren't truly authentic.

Everything has this "have to be perfect" vibe to it and that's not what encourages people to buy.

We also touch on the topic of how so many people "tinder" their customers. It's a one and done approach rather than keeping that client around for life.

Jump into today's episode to learn how to be more human and create lasting relationships with your clients.

See you in there!
