Welcome back to another episode of The Defiant Business Podcast!

Today I'm talking with Eric Morse, founder of Ideal Career Coach. His story begins with wanting to become a medical doctor, however, he quickly realized that the life of a doctor is not for him so he transitioned to science. After 5 years, he changed careers to become a technical recruiter. First in an agency, then to Pharma, Google, and even he helped scale-out an SF Startup. Being a career coach is a culmination of all of his struggles and the lessons he learned along the way. Now he helps people find their ideal job.

In this episode, we're going to talk about career coaching and we'll take a look at Eric's journey as well as what made him switch from being an employee to entrepreneur.

On today’s Marketing Monday, we're going to be talking about the concentric circles of trust and radical authenticity, and this ties to the question "Is Radical Authenticity Oversharing?"

Radical Authenticity isn't about oversharing. It's not about leaving yourself open to every person who might hurt you in your vulnerability. Through increasing your emotional intelligence, you can make use of the construct I call the Concentric Circles of Trust.

So if you're a coach, consultant, or service-based business owner who wants to know how to express your authentic self while protecting your mindset and goals, then this episode is for you.

On today’s Marketing Monday, we're going to take a look at how you can maximize your creativity in business. 

When it seems like there are no answers to your problems, or that everyone has done all of your ideas, you’re likely not embracing your creative thinking process.

The best ideas don’t tend to come from cognitive thought processing alone.

Typically, your creative process includes a discontinuous “jump” so when someone asks you how you came up with that, you say “It just came to me!”

Let’s explore how we can optimize this for you in your business.

So if you're a coach, consultant, or service-based business owner who wants to know how to maximize your creativity in business, then this episode is for you.

Today I'm talking with Jim Szafranski, CEO of Prezi. Prezi Video makes creating dynamic video more accessible to everyone, whether you’re doing it live or pre-recorded. Dynamic video gives coaches and consultants a fantastic tool for captivating storytelling.

“Spoken word is more effective than a traditional bullet-pointed slide. That’s because you can't listen and read at the same time. As the viewer, you're context shifting constantly when presented with a wall of text and a presenter,” Jim explained.

If you're interested in learning more about how to make your workshops, webinars, and presentations even more interactive and engaging then this episode is for you.

On today’s Marketing Monday, we'll answer the question of "What Are You Sacrificing to Scale?"

Have you gotten these messages in your DMs “How are you going to scale that?” or “I remember when I was doing 1-1 coaching…”

The question or statement usually leads to being told that you have to adopt this evergreen group coaching model if you want to see continued profits for your business.

But when your business is part of your higher calling, it leaves much to be desired. Let’s talk about it.

So if you're a coach, consultant, or service-based business owner who wants to know how to avoid this cookie-cutter strategy of scaling, then this episode is for you.
