What’s up, Caerusnet family?

For those I have yet to meet, I’m Jason Tracey—founder of Roar Consulting, host of the Coffee & Grit podcast, and (for these videos) your Chief Difference Maker. I’m fired up to be partnering with Steve Zyskowski, Caerusnet Founder,  to bring you these quick-hit videos—sharing strategies, mindset shifts, authentic motivation and practical tools to help you get out of your head, break through limiting beliefs, and be the difference in your client’s view and in the business community.  Referral relationships are a marathon, not a sprint.  I will be here to help you celebrate your wins and keep you up when things don’t go the way you wish.  This video series will come out regularly through out the year to help us all stay connected and keep our heads in the game.

Here’s what I believe:

Hell is meeting the person you could have been.

Business development isn’t a script—it’s who you are.

In times of chaos, we don’t rise to the occasion… we fall back to our level of training

And that’s exactly what I shared in the video for today’s kickoff.

Why Am I Here?

Because I’ve seen firsthand how small business owners, entrepreneurs, and business developers struggle with separating “professional self” and “personal self”—when in reality, the magic happens when they merge. It’s not about showing up with a perfect pitch. It’s about showing up as your whole self, truly listening, and being genuinely curious.

We all say we care. We all say we listen.

But when you’re meeting someone for the first time—at a networking event, or over coffee—are you really present? Or are you just thinking about what you’ll say next?

A Challenge for You:

Next time you’re heading into a conversation—whether it’s at Caerusnet breakfast, a client meeting, or even a casual chat—pause and ask yourself:

Who am I going to meet?

What’s going on in their world?

How can I help?

Not “how can I get a sale”—but how can I serve them?

Because that’s what makes you unforgettable. That’s what makes you a Difference Maker.

A great place to practice this strategy at the Caerusnet July 16th Breakfast!  I look forward to seeing you there!
