  • Finding the perfect match and serving others-Alex Sanfilippo

    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!!

  • The BEST dinner party guest experiences happen-when you set the table properly. Jay Doran Part 5

    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.

    There’s a really pure sense in the way that Jay introduces new colleagues, new contacts, new partners- and when it occurs… The magic just happens!
    I am always honored, when Jay Doran joins me on my show. Jay is a visionary, creator, business strategist, published author, serial podcast host. Most of all, at least to me, he is a dear friend. This is our fifth go around on my show, and I keep getting to learn new things about Jay. I wildly encourage you to try Jay’s networking intro technique. It has worked beautifully when I choose to do the work. And most often, the work simply involves introducing, and simply allowing others to speak. Emails are fine, texts are lovely, but an actual phone call With the new parties, including a beautiful intro of each new person, is the hidden secret to a real networking relationship happening. I’m very grateful that I allow my friend Jay Duran to speak. I never feel the need to talk over Jay during my shows, or in general. Enjoy this episode, do yourself the favor of finding every episode with Jay Duran as my guest. You can’t go wrong!

  • From radio, to gravy, to public speaking. Earn your seat at the kitchen table. Lorraine Ranalli

    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!”

  • Relax, release… unfill your cup and watch your life get full-Sean Gunning Podcast

    As if there weren't enough reasons to justify showing up, whether to support your business success, or your life-my guest reminds us of the many benefits of saying YES! Sean Gunning is a financial strategist with Quantus Group Family Office. Sean helps people through traditional and alternative investments- creating stable lifetime income. What's that mean? Building non-traditional retirement alternatives- which will provide leverage, legacy, and choice!

    Why Sean matters-at least to me. Sean has made tough choices, realigned priorities, and has an unwavering commitment to growing and improving. Sean clearly knows the importance of showing up! Sean and I met at an event where neither of us had originally intended to attend. You could feel Sean's aura (Sean is a true high vibrancy, and I felt certain I needed to share Sean's story.)
    As our conversations continues, pay particular attention to the benefits of "unfilling" your cup-and when you do- you can really add by subtracting.
    Though coaches, mentorship, non-negotiable daily habits, and a quest for learning...Sean demonstrates the ability to optimize any situation. I've become a massive fan of Sean's "Relax and Release" practice. After you listen to our conversation- give it a try. This mindset hack will add clarity and intention to your next situation. Best of all, you can do it in front of a friend!
    I am so glad I chose to show up to attend a nonprofit fundraiser on a weeknight. In addition to a good cause, I met some truly authentic people-like Sean Gunning.
    To learn more about Sean and the resources Sean shares, check out these links.
