Mic Drop Moments:

🎤Rich at (03:03) - The way you respond when you don’t get that promotion. The way you respond when you’re unhappy where you’re working. That sticks. That’s a personal brand. You could leave any job but your personal brand stays intact.

🎤Rich at (04:33) - They are studying what happens and even though you may never see them again. That doesn’t mean that they don’t have a connection at another company.

🎤Rich at (06:04) - Even in negative situations, what is, I don’t like to say silver lining, but what is a positive. Can you transfer into a positive byproduct? And if the answer is yes, it’s your duty to do something about it.

🎤Rich at (10:53) - I like to do what’s called ‘collect the dots then connect the dots.’

🎤Rich at (12:18) - Collect the dots and connect the dots. I think that’s the best approach you can do because it forces you to be unselfish and then all of a sudden, like what you’re trying to manifest comes back full circle.

🎤Trevor at (13:00) - Guys, he has a top 25 podcast.

🎤Rich at (15:35) - You just run into the opportunity. You can’t deny it. Don’t turn your back on it and just go for it.

You can only deliver maximum value if you maximize your visibility.” In this episode, we talk about his journey, lessons learned, advice for early entrepreneurs, optimizing LinkedIn, putting your brand to work & how to leverage content.

What you will learn:

- Rich’s service of 17 years in the Marines
- His career transition from the Marines to the corporate world
- Challenges that he faced in corporate America
- Rich’s mindset while interviewing for jobs
- What is ‘Good Morning. I quit’
- Taking ownership to stand out in your workplace


Mic Drops

🎤Rich at (03:45) - Imagine a hostage situation. The Air Force is going to try and drop a bomb. The Navy is going to try and go through the back door. The Army is going through the front door. With the Marines, he is like we’re coming through the roof.

🎤Rich at (08:00) - Whether you’re military or not, whenever you’re making a transition, whether it’s to another industry, whether it’s to another role, whether it’s to another city. Whatever it is, you have to be okay with the fact that you’re gonna start over. Like no one from the Navy could just come to the Marine Corps and be like ‘I got this.’ That’s not how it works.

🎤Rich at (09:53) - The question was simply this like “If you were to start a business, in your town or wherever, what would you do? How would you start?” And I was like this isn’t about their core values, this is not about managing people, these are not behavioral questions. This is literally like what's your business acumen? And I’m like damn, I have been in the Marine Corps for a while so that’s a little bit challenging. But it’s called O SMEAC, which is Orientation, Situation, Mission, Executionand then Commanded Signal.

🎤Rich at (12:12) - If Mark was interviewing me, I would immediately try and figure out what Mark’s pressing issues are in his role. And if I could solve and even speculate on how I could potentially solve the problem he has with my skills and my talent to make his job easier, he’s gonna hire me.

🎤Rich at (16:50) - I’m not telling people to quit necessarily. There’s great jobs out there and there's a traditional workforce for many many people.But if you feel that there is this untapped potential, I want to be the guy to help you realize it like it’s real. It can happen and I'm a lot better for it.

🎤Rich at (17:17) - This is for anyone who is in a job right now or anyone who is interviewing for a job, or looking for a job. If you’re able to position yourself mindset wise to treat it as if you were paying those people with your money, you’re gonna be a very different person.

🎤Rich at (17:45) - If this was coming out of my pocket, how would you look at it? Would you look at a P&L statement? Would you want to have relationships with the people upstream and downstream from you? There are so many things that I wish I could have done better. And I did things really well but that’s a different story. You will stand out and it doesn't mean you need to be an entrepreneur per se. But if you think like that, that’s going to just help you understand and elevate your business acumen a little bit.

Mic Drop Moments:

🎤Trevor at (04:35) - He showed me a problem I didn’t even know I had.

🎤Ryan at (05:23) - When I’m listening to this show, if I wanna listen to it as a listener, I would like you to fix these things and then I will be able to listen.

🎤Ryan at (09:26) - I’m a real type A personality, controlling person. I think I can control everything, but it turns out that when I let go, things just kind of happened. So I had these opportunities in my life where I just kind of let go.

🎤Ryan at (30:09) - I like the multi-faceted approach because that stood out to me. I make music, but I also make podcasts, I also edit podcasts. I also have all these hobbies. I’m, like you said, type A. I’m doing something all the time.

🎤Mark at (16:35) - I’m gonna give you a mic drop because your comment, the audience, that’s your gauge. If the audience is telling you that’s good or bad, it's good or bad, because they are saying it is.

🎤Ryan at (17:40) - Why do you have that webinar? It’s not because you guys are like “All right man, this is what I think. This is all about my ideas. It’s like we have done 300 shows to know what job seekers need. That’s why we have this webinar. It’s not because we are the master guru people that just automatically know. Nah! We have only just taken real world examples of what’s worked.

🎤Ryan at (20:27) - Let’s reverse engineer from the goal. My goal - get one person away from the person I need. Cool! Let’s record an interview and maybe release it. If not, no worries. You still built that relationship. Go give them five clips from the interview that they can post that benefit them. Go showcase them to your network, and your audience. I don’t care if you have 100 followers.

Mic Drop Moments

🎤Kasthuri at (03:57) - When people came into work, we told them you can't bring your home to work. But now we expect to go home 24/7 regardless of what’s going on in their household. So, conscious companies are realizing. The script is switched and we need to show up with mindfulness.

🎤Kasthuri at (05:55) - We can't give people motivation. If people need help, they need to be motivated enough to ask for help.

🎤Kasthuri at (06:13) - Knock on, the door shall open. And ask and you shall receive, right? So ask. Ask for help.

🎤Kasthuri at (10:45) - Let’s not forget, we are employees. And the things we do as employees can come back to haunt us as potential consumers, as potential citizens of the world. If I'm allowing my company to pollute the environment and my kid gets cancer, I don’t get to cry.

🎤Kasthuri at (12:50) - The lesson in that book is that you don't need to have a title, a following, to change your life. All you have to do is just care.

🎤Kasthuri at (13:45) - Employers are not looking to hire people to give them jobs. Employers are looking for solution providers who can solve their client’s problems, and innovate and make this world a better place.

🎤Kasthuri at (18:00) - The pandemic has reminded us that we may kill ourselves for the job but the job will replace us in two seconds.

🎤Kasthuri at (18:55) - If you can feed yourself, what else do you need the money for, because now you’re teaching your kids in the home too.

🎤Kasthuri at (21:22) - We gave them the loaded gun and this is a democracy. We as the people gave them the public policy and said “Shoot us whenever you feel like it.”

🎤Kasthuri at (22:13) - Don’t think that you have to look for a job only in the United States. We live in an age of ‘work from anywhere.’

🎤Kasthuri at (22:38) - Britain just exited the EU. So the privileged English-speaking coveted position the United Kingdom occupied is no longer there. Americans who are English-only speakers can easily go in and get those English-speaking remote jobs in the EU.

🎤Kasthuri at (24:05) - If we don't have a relationship with us, we can’t build a relationship with somebody else.

🎤Kasthuri at (24:26) - You don’t build a network when you want something. You build a network when you want to give something. And when you serve in a community then when you need it, the community will show up to give it to you. You don’t have to ask. So, invest in it before you need it. Because when you ask for it without investing, you’re asking for a favor and nobody owes you anything.

Mic Drop Moments:

🎤JB at (04:30) - Now what I do, helps 700 authors publish their stories, is I help people transform their lives because what happened to you in the past does not define what will happen to you in the future. And it’s very powerful when you tell your story in that way.

🎤JB at (07:15) - You get a new framework for what you once thought and that new framework makes you realize ”I can do this job, I can go after this, I’m smart enough, I have the skills, I have the tenacity. This doesn’t define me” And so that inspirational moment really actually refines you to go after what it is you want.

🎤JB at (08:25) - This huge transformation came where ‘rip that bad off my head.’ This is who I am. Show up being me. Be proud of who I am. And that allowed me to step into the greater version of me which is ultimately who God wants me to be. Not be impacted by somebody else’s story.

🎤JB at (12:12) - It’s just like you said, Tom Brady didn’t win the Super Bowl By having an AI like phone it in. You got to do the work yourself.

🎤JB at (17:28) - My motto is, everybody deserves to be heard, everybody deserves to be seen. We all deserve to be long and nobody gets left behind.

🎤JB at (21:30) - If you would go to mentorwithjb.com, I’m giving it to all your listeners and viewers for free.
