The Driven Entrepreneur with Matt Brauning

Ep #6 - Bonus episode from Live Q&A time! I answer a HUGE question on embedded commands in communication, as well as go into anxiety and whether it has control in your life.  Join in on these bonus episodes on facebook live every Monday at facebook.com/mattbrauning

Here are a couple of the questions asked this week:

#1 Bruce Moreno asked:

When it comes to embedded commands, is it more effective/does it make a difference if you use them in the past tense vs. the present? Example: "I wonder, when was the last time you sat down and focused?" "I wonder when you last asked yourself, 'I should sit down, and focus.'" Additionally, how much of a difference is there when the embedded command is heard rather than read?

#2 Tanya Akl (Sunny) asked:

“I know anxiety is the subconscious mind's way of getting you to focus on what you want and guilt helps you keep in check with your values and integrity or something close to that. What about the emotional message and meaning of insecurity? What is the meaning of insecurity?

For the answers to these questions and more, you'll just have to listen!

Enjoy, and tune in each Tuesday for a new bonus Q&A and each Friday for a brand new episode.

Ep #5 - Welcome to Episode #5 of the Purpose Driven Entrepreneur Podcast with Matt Brauning. 

In this episode, we are joined by the incredible Maggi Mayfield who works as a producer at KOST 103.5 FM, hosts her own nationally recognized podcast titled "Ytunes Shuffle," and performs around the country as a stand-up comedian. 

Maggi and I discuss utilizing media for business, how to get started, and what it takes to perservere and make it when the goings get tough. This is an awesome interview, Maggi is an incredible person, and I invite you to give it a listen and be ready to feel inspired.

Ep #4 - Today is a bonus episode from a Live Q&A answering a few hot questions of the week. Join in a facebook live session I did recently anwering things like:

1.) Nate Whalen asked what has one of your biggest personal takeaways been from building your own business ground up?

Answer) I talk about following your passion as a potentially good or bad thing, how to navigate this, and why much of today's advice doesn't work in that area.

2.) Bruce Moreno asked how well #NLP and traditional psychology play together.

Answer) I speak to the similarities and the differences between the two. How NLP tends to have a more "whole person" point of view versus normal or abnormal. In NLP there is no abnormal, simply behavior adaptions, and curiosity as to how people choose. More in the episode on this.

3.) Jim James Cassidy asked about setting up a meetup successfully in your business.

Answer) I share in the final third of the episode a few secrets to starting and launching a successful meetup group, and how to make sure people show up. Also about how long they should be, and a format for the evening meetup. Oh, and which days or evenings are the best for show up rates!

Ep #3 - Welcome to Episode 3 of the Purpose Driven Entrepreneur Podcast with Matt Brauning. As my producer Jeremy and I start to figure out our stride, we awkwardly discuss stuff that is on my mind all week. Now it's here for you in podcast form, just for the "purpose driven entrepreneur!

This is our first ever interview episode, and if you want to be a more powerful communicator, this episode is for you! I welcome on Mike Begala, who is our head coach and head trainer at my company Evolution Seminars. Mike is responsible for training at all of our live workshops and seminars, as well as in charge of the coaching department.

Mike has also had a very lucrative consulting career spanning 20 years working in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia with organizations such as FedEx, Allergan, the US Army, US Army Reserve and the US Army Corps of Engineers to help improve their communication, efficiency and effectiveness.

In this episode, Mike and I discuss the NLP (neuro linguistic programming) concept of "framing." All the ways to construct communication for all different outcomes. You can frame, preframe, reframe, plus much more!
