Superstar Lender, Superstar Coaching, just plain Superstar Chadd Levine rejoins our Podcast. Communication wizard, Chadd and I have a strong history of joint projects. I will speak for me, the chemistry is palpable.

Chadd Levine is known for throwing a weekly (and on-point) kick in the backside (alight, kick in the arse if it's up to Chadd, LOL)

So why was it important to me to interview Alex Sanfilippo? Here's a quick summary of what Alex has been doing... “I am 100% podcasting. I’m in this industry to serve indie podcasters, and their guests to help independent voices get elevated and, as a result, help them serve the world in the way only they can. I love what I do; I believe I’m now doing what I was created to do – And I’m giving it 110% every day!" So the why, was easy.

To me, the real reason to follow Alex and this specific episode, is learning the path to authenticity-which typically involves overcoming obstacles. In Alex's case, Alex openly shares his path of the power of faith. Alex found a new purpose and motivation for life that he says is the foundation of everything. Over the next two years, Alex began serving at church and even met his wife, Alecia.

In addition, Alex has helped me tremendously as the founder of Podmatch. Podmatch is a podcast host's and podcast guest's "best friend" as it supports podcasts at all levels. I admire Alex's gift of giving and service- and also how freely Alex shares about himself. This is a great episode, if I do say so myself. Enjoy!!

There are many people, who use the term connector as part of their profile. My guest, my friend, Jay Duran-has found a way to connect people in one of the most organic ways that I’ve encountered.

The mark of an effective storyteller is to know the beginning, middle, and end of a story. At the risk of sounding self-serving, this is what I get to preach at DuffinMedia. As a superior storyteller (telling a succinct, authentic story with substance)- Lorraine Ranalli embodies these skills. 

Lorraine has decades of experience behind the microphone of Philadelphia radio- where every communication involves sharing a story with the audience. Listen to our convo as Lorraine shares the “panic” and the thrills of Philly radio (some of the highest rated stations in the market!) 

Maybe Lorraine honed these skills from her growing up in the Philly region- city of very distinct neighborhoods, very competitive, family-based- behaviors, accents, GRAVY! 

This episode was a ton of energy and fun for me. We discussed two of Lorraine’s books. "Gravy Wars: South Philly Foods, Feuds & Attytudes" has become a personal favorite. Let us know if you, or a family member, takes their own Gravy (“spaghetti” sauce for a few) seriously. 

I brought Lorraine to my show because of her book- “IMPACT! Deliver effective, meaningful and memorable presentations”.Listen closely as Lorraine discusses the realization of KNOWING what the audience (client, listener) needs to hear- which is a much higher priority than what you want to share. 

I’ll repeat. Lorraine Ranalli delivered for me on this podcast. We hope you love the episode. Here are a few links to get to know Lorraine. Hey, maybe she’ll invite you for “Gravy!”
