MR Wonderful aka The Shark Kevin O’Leary himself stopped by the show to chat about so many great timely and valuable topics! I have always been a huge admirer of Kevin and his work. The attribute I love most about him is his no BS attitude. We need that in this world! We talked about his investing app Beanstox, Shark Tank, and the importance of ownership in the black community, but also every underserved community. We also chatted about some of Kevin’s more personal side and what really got him to the massive success that he is today. I worked my butt off to get him on to give YOU, the #TeamHoltz squad as many nuggets to be successful!

Here is what we chatted about:

The post EP 112: Marketing is SEDUCTION that goes way past the happy ending first appeared on Award-Winning Global Business & Branding Coach, AI-Driven Marketing Expert & Podcast Host.

LeAnne “Lelee” Lyons is a Bronx, NY native who currently resides in Atlanta, Ga. As a young girl, and mother of two by the age of 17, Lelee was determined to change the way people looked at her. Feeling like a failure and disappointment to her mother, “I wanted to do something in my life that would make everybody forget about my failures’, Lelee said – and that she did. In 1992, Lelee became the visionary behind the 2x Grammy-nominated supergroup we know today as Sisters With Voices (SWV). Along with her group members, Cheryl “Coko” Gamble, and Tamara “Taj” George, the trio went on to sell over 25 million records to date, with songs like “Weak”, “Right Here”, “I’m So Into You” to name a few. SWV also had their fair share of television success with two reality-based TV shows: “SWV REUNITED”, and most recently, “LADIES NIGHT”, with the Queens of rap music, Salt and Pepa. But, with all the accomplishments, notoriety, and monetary blessings achieved in the entertainment industry, Lelee still felt empty and unfulfilled. After realizing the real blessing would be in blessing others through her life experiences and pain, Lelee would dedicate her life bringing awareness to “Teen Pregnancy Prevention”, “Domestic Violence”, and Child Sexual Abuse—all of which she experienced as a young girl.

Currently, Lelee continues to travel the world with SWV, became a first-time author of her first book, “I Regret The Day I Lost My Virginity” (a memoir)–a book that will encourage and inspire women and young girls all over the world to “Be Your Best You”, no matter what your past says. “Picking up the pen to write about the things that I wanted to forget was one of the hardest things for me”, Lelee said. Being no stranger to keeping it real, there is nothing watered down about this memoir. Lelee put herself out there to be judged in pure courageous fashion and she doesn’t regret it one bit.

As CEO of her own production company, HerShe Entertainment, where she’s currently developing and creating shows for major television networks, working on a podcast, and aspire to take a stab at movies and film, “I want to do it all”, says Lelee. “I’m all about creating opportunities that the industry just won’t give you. I feel like I’m in the best space of my life and plan to take full advantage of it”. Being in an industry where they try to put an expiration date on you, I want to change that narrative. I want to encourage women like me to continue to dream, no matter what anyone says. If your better you come and forty, GO FOR IT!!

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by the one and ONLY, Barb Stegemann! I met Barb via LinkedIn and it just was pure energy from the start! She asked me to be a guest on her “How To” podcast and I had to oblige! After doing a bit of a deep dive on Barb, it was so apparent that she is a human in a category all to her own. It turns out her audience had been asking her, “how to start a podcast?”. So she asked if I would come on to share a bit of my story with the creation of The Ryan Holtz Show and quite honestly, I get asked this question daily, so I thought: let’s do it!

In this episode, you will learn some of the tips and tricks when publishing your podcast and also some of the equipment you need that will help with so much of the initial overwhelm that comes with starting a quality show! Please contact me here if you would like me to send you a FREE PDF that helps get you started with your show OR if you would like me to personally coach you one on one in my accelerator podcast program.

Reach out to Barb here.

Enjoy this episode and as always, shoot me a message and let me know what you think!

Did you know that maximizing your voice inspires other people to use theirs? I recently was getting interviewed for a small publication and the interviewer and I got into a great discussion as she asked me how I thought people could be inspired to use their voice? To me, that is one of the best magic unlocking questions you could ask. I have an affinity for curiosity and understanding what makes people tick and the more I research, the more I keep coming back to the same tactics to really identify and understand how to get a more meaningful response: ask great questions and LISTEN. Similar to sales: you must ask great questions to get intel and then just listen.

Lately, it seems so many conversations I am having through social media or in life, people seem to be on this journey of self-discovery and asking the tough questions which are leading them to the understanding of how and why they should MAX OUT on using their OWN voice!

Hope you enjoyed this episode! Please share it if you did!

What the heck is a social currency bank account? Well, believe it or not….in 2020, you already have opened one. Whether is it is a client giving you a review or an old boss giving you a reference. These types of actions all work to increase the balance of your social account. In other words, it is the clout in which you have accrued over the years while you worked…..in any capacity. Listen and let me know what you think!

Ellen DeGeneres ends off her shows usually by saying “Be kind to one another”. But now it seems that this could have just been a little blowing off smoke. Recent allegations that have swept the internet from multiple staffers and guests elude to the fact that Ellen was not the nicest person to be around. Accusations from having her staff tell people not to look at her all the way to her toxicity have many people wondering just how nice she really is. Well, I am not going to lie, I am a huge fan of Ellen, but with all these things swirling, I may have to audit how nice she really is. Mrs. Holtz joins me on the show to talk about all of this tea! Enjoy and as always, reach out to me on social media and let me know what you think!

Much love,
