After nearly 5 and a half years of not taking a legitimate vacation, I went to SoCal for four days. I'm burnt and my skin is peeling off, but I needed the break more than I realized. 

It's nearly the end of the first half of 2021. What are you going to do to finish your year off strong? Here's what I'm going to do and, yeah, it may surprise you a little. 

How well do you handle the chaos? I recently went through a few weeks of it myself and, frankly, didn't handle it well at all. 

Creating an omnipresence on social media isn't as difficult as you may think. In this episode, I talk about the importance of your omnipresence and how you can turn one piece of content into several.  

One thing that has come out of the pandemic is an increase of those who want to start their own business. In this episode, I address what it takes to do so - and I'm very real about it. I'm all for anyone who wants to be their own boss, just realize what it takes to succeed. 

This past week or so, I've run into several people I dealt with from 10, 15, 20 years ago. 

So, how does your reputation from your past effect how you'll do business today? That's this episode's topic as I drive back to my office from meeting with someone I dealt with over 20 years prior. 

This episode features a very special guest, Gayle Petrillo, as we discuss the story behind the story of The Accident, her recent publishing debut. The Accident is simply a powerful, inspirational story that Gayle shares with us - and one she tells quite clearly as it is of her own early childhood.

How much time to you spend marketing your own business? I discuss this topic and semi-challenge you to do the same. Besides, if you don't do it, who will? 

No, marketing isn't just advertising or how you sell your product or service. It encompasses everything from the very conception of your product or service to how you produce it, package it, your brand, pricing and all the above. 

Before you listen to this episode, what is your definition of "marketing?" 

I've met and worked with a ton of people over the years, many of which are a lot smarter and a lot more creative than I am. However, what separates them from me? 

I work. 

I get into a struggle that's currently being experienced by a fellow business owner, why you can't wait until the "perfect" time to launch and the only reason I'm able to do what I do today in this episode.
