When You Just Want To Be Home

March 15, 2022 20:00 - 7 minutes - 5.72 MB

Clarity Fam, I got some fresh perspective this last week after wrapping up five high-octane days at the National Auto Dealers Association Conference in LasVegas Nevada. We ran 15+ hour days…every day. Then…the last leg of my trip left me sitting in BWI Airport for hours.  I just wanted to be home, but I also knew I got to choose how I invested my time there. So this week you have a very worn out road warrior deciding what to do.  Keep deciding. Keep pursuing clarity. Paul PS: If you wan...

How To Get Everything DONE

March 08, 2022 10:30 - 7 minutes - 5.71 MB

Clarity Fam, It's probably no secret to you that I’m doing A LOT in my life. I'm deep in the throes of three businesses, a full service agency, Congruent, a small consultancy, Contagious Auto, an up and coming media publisher, ASOTU. On top of that I'm redeveloping a new production studio, Tipp Hill Studios in Syracuse NY annnnd I have a family of seven to keep led, fed, loved, and inspired. So what gives and when? Today I talk about the answer I received from my coach David Meltzer when ...

From Waco with Love

March 01, 2022 10:30 - 5 minutes - 4.6 MB

Clarity Fam, I learned two important lessons this past week from my trip to Waco, Texas to visit the Magnolia Empire: 1. The power of brand connection is alive and well. 2. It is A LOT different (but worth it) navigating an airport with a family including a 2 year old and a mother-in-law than it is my myself. I had a speaking engagement in Dallas last week and since our family are fans of Fixer Upper and the Magnolia brand, I decided to bring everyone with me so we could spend a few da...

Two Years And Counting

February 22, 2022 10:30 - 5 minutes - 4.47 MB

Clarity Fam, Like many of you, I stayed up later than usual to watch the nail biting end of Super Bowl LVI. We had two teams who were full of finely tuned athletes and coaches who had trained for the majority of their lives to be in this position. It came down to the final seconds and one team was victorious, while one team was the loser.  After the excitement died down, the game had me thinking about the razor thin margin of separation between the winners and losers of that game and how t...

The Difference Between Winning and Losing

February 15, 2022 10:30 - 9 minutes - 6.72 MB

Clarity Fam, Like many of you, I stayed up later than usual to watch the nail biting end of Super Bowl LVI. We had two teams who were full of finely tuned athletes and coaches who had trained for the majority of their lives to be in this position. It came down to the final seconds and one team was victorious, while one team was the loser.  After the excitement died down, the game had me thinking about the razor thin margin of separation between the winners and losers of that game and how t...

4 Years Down. Just Getting Started.

February 08, 2022 10:30 - 6 minutes - 5.1 MB

Clarity Fam, Four years ago I released Episode One of the Clarity Compressed Podcast. Actually in the early days, it was called “Dealers Compressed” and it was a fully produced spot. The intention was to release 10 Episodes of series created around a book called “Like I See It” by my (now) good friend, Dale Pollak. I’ve had the honor to interview so many amazing people. Entrepreneurs, New York Times Best Sellers, Navy Seals, Influencers with millions of followers, Millionaires, Billionaire...

Rejecting "How to Think" Content

February 01, 2022 10:30 - 10 minutes - 7.8 MB

Clarity Fam, Lately, I've been thinking about the velocity of highly opinionated content coming my way that is masquerading as fact. The truth is that any article that is titled "How to think about ________" should cause us major pause. Thinking for ourselves is one of the greatest gifts we've been given and is the bedrock principle of progress that allows us to take care of one another. There should be challenges to one another's thinking and we should both cultivate and celebrate divers...

Making The Most Of Every Opportunity

January 25, 2022 10:30 - 10 minutes - 7.62 MB

Clarity Fam, This week I tell the story of how my wife and I were invited to hang out with Grammy Award Winning recording artist, Leon Bridges. It started at baggage claim in Orlando and ended on opening night for the newest, state-of-the-art symphony hall in the country. The moral of the story is, have the awareness and do the work to make the most of every opportunity. Often times it is the little things that move you the furthest along...but only if you are paying attention. Pursue tha...

Jocko Willink

January 18, 2022 10:30 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MB

Clarity Fam, There are very few times where you get to speak with a real hero. Even if you were times you get to speak with a real hero, who is also one of your personal heroes. Today was that day for me as I had the opportunity to sit with retired Navy SEAL and legendary entrepreneur Jocko Willink. Jocko has shaped many of my mindsets through his books, podcasts, and my observations of his life. He reminds me that there are no excuses, only the ones that I allow myself to make. He remind...

Because That’s What Successful People Do

January 11, 2022 10:30 - 9 minutes - 7.14 MB

Clarity Fam, I was watching a show called “Undercover Billionaire” when I heard a quote that stuck with me for the next week. “Because that’s what successful people do.” I explain the scenario in the podcast, but that quote had me thinking of common traits I see in the successful people around me.  I talk about eight of them in this episode and I’d love to hear what traits YOU have observed in the most successful people.  Until then, keep pursuing that CLARITY! Paul PS: I’ve been having...

The Real Definition of ‘Tolerance’

January 04, 2022 10:30 - 10 minutes - 7.54 MB

Clarity Fam, I’m so pumped to be greeting you in 2022 for the first time! I know it’s just another day, but it can be a completely blank slate if we let it be. There is something I’ve always loved about a new year because it helps me mentally reset. Like a freshly organized desk. Like a brand new email address. Like getting rid of all my pets and getting new ones…joking.  Today I talk about the opportunity we have as individuals and as a community to adopt the real meaning of ‘tolerance’ i...

Getting Better By Messing Things Up

December 28, 2021 10:30 - 8 minutes - 6.02 MB

Clarity Fam, I hope you are having a refreshing time over the holiday season...I'm doing my best to do just that! Last week I minted and issued my first NFT in the form of a POAP. It was totally new territory for me but I realized that with anything new, I have to feel confused before I can feel savvy. That's how trying new things works. That is the transaction of growth. I hope you enjoy hearing about the journey to minting this NFT and are encouraged to take on something new of your o...

Starting from the server room

December 21, 2021 17:19 - 8 minutes - 5.81 MB

Clarity Fam, No, I wasn't going to miss this episode because yesterdays livestream was exhausting! Typically, I'd have the episode locked and loaded by Monday, but yesterday we put on a big livestream for a community I started as the first Covid lockdown began. It is called, The Automotive State of the Union. I thought it would be great to share the story of where it came from via the opening monologue from the show to let you know that, although I don't always succeed, I'm always trying...

200! Taking a Moment To Celebrate the Wins

December 14, 2021 10:30 - 7 minutes - 5.39 MB

I can't believe that 200 weekly episodes have been made. Every week for almost four years, the team and I found a way to make it happen. Because YOU have made it worth it. As I shot this episode, it was appropriate that I was on the road with nothing more than my phone, a paper towel holder I lifted from the hotel room, and a microphone. I just received the 2021 Diversity Advocacy Award from the National Association of Minority Auto Dealers in Miami, when my wife Sara encouraged me to cele...

Magic Moments from Crying Kids

December 07, 2021 10:30 - 6 minutes - 5.09 MB

Clarity Fam, I’ve never come back to the office to record a podcast AFTER I already went home for the weekend…until this week. It was one of those days where two parents were running around managing five kids. Just when I thought the moment had turned on us, we received the most pleasant surprise. That’s how life is sometimes. Well, a lot of the time actually. I hope this episode helps you see through the fog of life just a little more clearly. Have a great week and Pursue that Clarity!...

Paul Daly…Goes BANANAS!!!!!

November 30, 2021 14:33 - 7 minutes - 5.31 MB

Todays show is especially fun because the source content is, well, REALLY fun. I do a flyover of a recent purchase experience from a former guest on the show, Jesse Cole, CEO of the Savanna Bananas baseball team. (Check it out here) To top it all off, I bought it with bitcoin! It's a story or customer experience, surprise and delight, crypto currency, and more. I hope it gets you thinking outside the box and smiling at the same time. Pursue Clarity and HAVE FUN, Paul . . . pauljdaly.co...

Your Natural Negativity Bias

November 23, 2021 10:25 - 8 minutes - 6.25 MB

As we break out the dinnerware, get that turkey thawing, and prepare for those awkward family conversations, I thought it would be a good to share a little secret about my brain (and yours) I learned over the last week. Negativity Bias. Yes, believe it or not, our brains are hardwired to see the worst possible things before we can even think about things that help us grow and develop. Well that explains a lot, LOL. As we head into a week of focusing on the GOOD things over the Thanksgivi...

One for the Critics

November 16, 2021 10:30 - 7 minutes - 5.71 MB

Isn’t it so easy to be critical? Being critical costs nothing. No risk, no pain, no exposure. But to actually DO is altogether different. This week I talk about the insecurity that’s in the driver’s seat in the times I get critical. That’s all it is. Insecurity. The antidote is doing. Risking. Going for it. We get a little help from an epic quote as we dare to brave living a life beyond. Beyond the fear, beyond the danger, beyond the comfort of a critic’s couch. Pursue Clarity, Paul ...

Mastering the Phrase "I See You."

November 09, 2021 10:30 - 7 minutes - 6.09 MB

Several weeks ago I received a letter in the mail that made me feel amazing. Yes, a good, old fashioned piece of paper. It was to notify me that I have been named a 2021 Diversity Advocacy Award by the National Association of Minority Auto Dealers (NAMAD). I wrote a post about it here. It really got me thinking about the phrase "I see you." An acknowledgement of your intention, work, and heart. I go deeper in this weeks episode and hope you will join me on my quest to encourage others with ...

Change of Plans

November 02, 2021 09:30 - 7 minutes - 5.71 MB

I was about to go pick up my motorcycle and shoot a great podcast from the vintage garage in Rochester NY with the owner. But then…my trailer harness didn’t work when I attached the trailer. No brake lights meant not trip. Instead, I hit up a great local spot to regroup and talk about what we do when our plans get wrecked. If anything, I hope you realize it’s not just you Pursue Clarity, Paul . . . pauljdaly.com Connect with Paul J Daly on LinkedIn Follow along on Instagram Follow Paul...

The ROI of a Single Post

October 26, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.17 MB

Clarity Fam, I know a lot of you are on the hustle creating content and posting. If you are like me, you are tempted to measure the ROI of a post based on likes, impressions, views, or clicks. I want to tell you first hand, that those metrics are liars. In today's episode I talk about how a single post with only 4 likes kicked off an ROI that is so great, I won't be able to measure it for years. Your efforts go so much further than you think. Pursue Clarity, Paul . . . pauljdaly.com ...

How To Make (Good) Trouble

October 19, 2021 09:36 - 8 minutes - 6.34 MB

I just came back from an incredible week where my fellow troublemakers and I put on the “Here’s To The Troublemakers” event in Las Vegas during Digital Dealer week and it exceeded my expectations! An industry leader-friend dubbed it the “World of Automotive Outlaws of Podcasting”…and he was right! I’m going to be releasing lots of content from the event over the next weeks and months. But for today, I’m digging into the difference between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ trouble. Here’s a hint, I believ...

Being Ready vs. Being Certain

October 12, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 6.97 MB

This question has been rolling around in my head and on my LinkedIn, “Who is more successful…those who are “ready” or those who are “certain”? You can see all the conversation around a LinkedIn poll I posted here.  In today’s episode I drill down a little more into WHY I think the way I do on this. We’re going to talk about business, the battlefield, and the things that hold me back internally. One thing is for sure, I’m working to get CLARITY on this so that we can keep marching forward t...

A Podcast About Podcasts…But Really More About Life

October 05, 2021 09:30 - 8 minutes - 6.61 MB

Clarity Fam, I’m a recovering creative perfectionist and I’m just beginning to realize how it has limited opportunities for me and my family. I just launched a new daily podcast with my business partner Kyle…and it only took 18 minutes from concept to launch. What that reminded me is that the step you take is infinitely more valuable the the steps you don’t take. Be brave, take a step, and pursue clarity, Paul . . . pauljdaly.com Connect with Paul J Daly on LinkedIn Follow along on I...

Business Mindset Master David Meltzer

September 28, 2021 09:29 - 15 minutes - 10.8 MB

Clarity Fam, Today is a special day because I get to share my Business Coach with YOU. I first came across David (Dave) Meltzer in a clubhouse room. Then, I was able to spend a little time with him and some other greats like Gary Vee at the NoBull business conference in Syracuse. Before I knew it, he was helping me work through my business mindset and goals. Today I’m hoping to share some of his wisdom with you. What I love most about Dave’s approach is that it doubles down on caring with...

How To Do What You CAN Do

September 21, 2021 09:30 - 8 minutes - 6.51 MB

This past week, heck, this past YEAR, has been full of facing mandates, problems, arguments, and turmoil in our country. That has filtered down through my business, my community, my family, and relationships.  It seems like most of the problems being presented at the top of that funnel are HUGE. They feel like they are unsolvable and it’s easy to feel that there isn’t much I can do alone. I don’t think I’m by myself in those feelings.  I’m reminding myself as I remind you, that I can…WE ca...

The Transaction of Growth in 2021

September 14, 2021 09:30 - 8 minutes - 6.43 MB

Growth is a transaction. It’s not a gift.   Growth costs something.   Who doesn’t say they want to grow?   Who isn’t excited about the potential benefits of growth? How many of us fail to measure the cost?   Fail to expect the conflict and the tension? Get surprised and demotivated when they show up? Growth hurts...even scars.   Childhood development, fitness, physics, relationships… We learn to walk, run and ride a bike by way of bumps and bruises. Our bodies require pain in order...

Attraction 101

September 07, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 6.89 MB

Over the last year, I feel like I’ve heard enough versions of “The Law of Attraction” to make me want to vomit. I’m not saying that they are all bad, I’m just saying that there is a lot of confusion and quite a bit of blatant lying going on. This week I’m giving my take on the role of ‘attraction’ in life and business. You may find that it is a lot simpler and more practical than you realize. I’m glad that you were at some point attracted to this community Pursue Clarity, Paul . . . p...

How To Make Yourself MORE Valuable

August 31, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.35 MB

Relationships are based upon a value proposition. In the ideal situations, both parties find some level of value in the other person which leads to the continuation of the relationship. I know this seems a little sterile, but bear with me! Speaking of employment relationships, I see and hear a lot of complaining from BOTH sides of the arrangement around the inter webs and in person (often at retail locations). Employees complaining about pay, perks, and environments and Employers complainin...

How Your Mouth Gets You Into Trouble

August 24, 2021 09:30 - 8 minutes - 6.56 MB

I’ve said some stupid things in my day. Even worse than that, I’ve said things that have started fires in my relationships and business. Things that have be hurtful and damaging. If I’m being honest, it was because I was insecure, lacking confidence in myself.  On the contrary, at my best, I’ve said encouraging things. Even better than that, I’ve said things that inspired people to believe more deeply, dig in, and build something meaningful. Things that motivated others and gave them perspe...

Meet the Human Calculator, Scott Flansburg

August 17, 2021 09:30 - 24 minutes - 17.4 MB

I know the subject line seems like a joke in the making, but I assure you, it is not. The answer to the question is my guest for this week. He is none other than Scott Flansburg, AKA ‘The Human Calculator.’ Scott is friends with and has been the guest of every one of those people and many many more.  At a young age, Scott realized he had a gift with numbers. Instead of turning into a socially awkward anomaly, Scott has turned his gift into a way to bring people closer. Not just closer to un...

Why You Go Wherever You’re Looking

August 10, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 6.66 MB

I don’t know if you’ve ever ridden a motorcycle, but I know that I have. Years ago, my motorcycle safety class instructor told the class, “Right before you start the bike, close your eyes, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you are about to ride a machine that could kill you if you aren’t paying attention.” A stark warning for sure.  To this day, I still go through that mental procedure before I hit the start button.  Fortunately, every moment of our lives aren’t lived in that lev...

Career Vs. Calling

August 03, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.32 MB

If you are in this community, you are most likely pursuing something specific in life. There aren’t too many lazy, unmotivated folks checking out my content. While I was jam packed into a middle seat in the back of a plane on a four-and-a-half hour flight from Chicago to SanFrancisco a few weeks ago, I had a little moment of clarity that I made the topic of this podcast. Here’s the gist, my level of misery in that middle seat was completely shaped by my perspective on the situation. I’...

Is Your Why a Lie with Dan Moore

July 27, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.01 MB

There is so much pressure to find meaning it what it is that we do on a daily basis. Sometimes, this pressure can even convince ourselves that our “why” is something that isn’t true. Today I’m sharing a short interview I did of my friend Dan Moore. Dan is the CEO of tech company, Vistadash, Author of Do Moore, Get More and is getting ready to deliver his very first TEDx talk in Roseville, CA on August 7th. The tile of his talk is, “Is Your Why A Lie?” We talk about the lies we tell ours...

The Responsibility of Impact

July 20, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.22 MB

It has been QUITE a while since I’ve been able to do an in-person interview. That’s why I’m beyond excited to share this conversation with the one an only Glenn Lundy. Yes, he has the #1 morning show in the country, Rise and Grind, where 10’s of 1000’s gather every morning at 5:30am to make an impact. Yes, he is on a mission to help others see their responsibility to make an impact. Yes, he really does have 8 kids! I hope you can siphon from some of Glenns energy today as we have some laugh...

That Day Before Vacation

July 13, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.45 MB

Why is the day before vacation SO productive? When I’m about to take time off, I become more focus, get off to a better start in my day, and seem to check important things off the todo list in record pace. What gives? I’ve always wondered why I don’t get that much done during regular weeks so I spent some time being more thoughtful about why. I share what I arrived at in this weeks episode.  Now go get productive with all that CLARITY! . . . pauljdaly.com Connect with Paul J Daly on Linke...

How To Lean Into Your Style

July 06, 2021 11:19 - 10 minutes - 7.6 MB

I tend to be a little different. Sometimes, I even go as far as ending sentences with prepositions, just because. I wear a flat brim and Nikes while talking to a room full of people in suits. You know what? It works. The reason it works for me and not for others is because I’m leaning into the things that are authentically me while still doing the work to practice empathy for those I’m trying to communicate with. It’s not a perfect science, but I’ve definitely been practicing it for quite...

The Audacity of Innovation

June 29, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.56 MB

In an unprecedented moment in Clarity Compressed history, we have a second consecutive episode about…a book. This week's book, The Innovation Stack by Square Co-founder Jim McKelvey. If you are a Creative, an Entrepreneur, or BOTH, I couldn’t recommend this more.  I share my takeaways and mostly, the encouragement to my fellow entrepreneurs and creators that the AUDACITY to do something new and release it into the world is a brave thing indeed.  Keep doing it!  Audacity takes CLARITY. Pur...

This Boring Book Changed My Life

June 22, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.48 MB

Are you the type of person who moves away from the things that you find boring? Of course you are! On this week’s episode, I tell the story of how the decision to pick up a “boring” book late one night before boarding a flight from JFK to Syracuse changed my life.  I had been running my business for over a decade and didn’t realize how my lack of perspective and understanding of profit was hindering my ability to take care of people. In hindsight, I can clearly see how that ignorance could ...

What My First Live 2021 Event Taught Me

June 15, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 6.9 MB

The Podcast is coming at you live from Tampa, FL this week. I delivered a keynote at the very first large event held in the Tampa Convention Center since the start of the pandemic. Let me just say… IT WAS AWESOME!!! There has been so much uncertainty of what a post-covid world would look like when it comes to conferences and other live events. Let met be the first to tell you…there are GOOD things ahead. I hope this overview (including some great footage from the experience) encourages yo...

4 Lessons From 19 Years of Marriage

June 08, 2021 09:30 - 11 minutes - 8.56 MB

I hope your week is off to an amazing start doing meaningful work. If you don’t feel like it has been, it’s not too late to turn it around! May the momentum of the great reopening continue 👊🏻🤟🏻 On this weeks episode, I get personal about what I’ve learned from 19 years of being married to my bae, the beautiful and truly amazing, Sara Daly. SPOILER ALERT, a big part of what I’ve learned has to do with a deep, deep selfishness that the world around regularly did (and continues to) preach i...

Shay Rowbottom Schools On LinkedIn

June 01, 2021 09:30 - 34 minutes - 23.6 MB

Success leaves clues. In today’s case, our guest is spelling them out a little more clearly. I had the privilege of sitting with LinkedIn Influencer and Digital Marketing Expert, Shay Rowbottom :high_brightness: Shay’s efforts on Facebook garnered billions (with “B”) views for her clients and she translated those learnings to LinkedIn. We talk about the real opportunity is on LinkedIn and she dishes secrets that helped her get to 600,000+ followers on the platform. Regardless of where you a...

How to Make Business More Meaningful

May 25, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.43 MB

Clarity Fam,  The last business trip I went one before the lockdown was to Nashville to spend the day with NYT Bestselling Author Donald Miller and a small group of fellow entrepreneurs. We were gathered to pilot a new course on Mission Statement.  I’ll spare you all the details, but the bottom line is that I was able to distill down my core belief in business. It has become my agency’s vision and a message that is deeply personal. Here it is…business is more meaningful when people connect...

What You Don't Know Could Make You Better

May 18, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.19 MB

Demolition has officially begun on the new redevelopment of the office/studio for my agency Congruent. It took TWO YEARS to get to this point. After multiple properties, banks, and a pandemic, we are finally moving! All of this has me thinking about all the things we probably wouldn’t start if we really knew what it would take to get to the end. We often get going with SOME idea of what it will take, but many times, it takes far more. And that is ok. The reality is that as we move throu...

Pushing Back on Lies of the Day

May 11, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.5 MB

Lies are destructive. Some of the most destructive among them are the lies we tell ourselves. Most often those are driven by the lies that are prevalent in our culture. This week I’m sharing my perspective on what some of those might be.  Last week I introduced the concept of “practicing.” I approach this topic with the same posture.  I don’t have it all figured out, but I am committed to pushing back against what I see as the lies of the day.  I hope you’ll push back with me. . . . paul...

Only Doctors and Lawyers Can “Practice”?

May 04, 2021 09:30 - 10 minutes - 7.97 MB

We put a lot of pressure on ourselves. At least I do. Pressure to be a good husband, father, business leader, content creator and on and on. But I found some CLARITY after a trip to Philly last week and subsequent conversation with some fellow leaders. Here it is: Adopting the mindset of ‘practicing’ in this areas, just like a Doctor or Lawyer does in their vocation, helps take some of that pressure off. This is a good thing because it frees us up to keep learning and growing. It reminds ...

How to Appreciate a Loss

April 27, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.45 MB

Everybody loses. It’s just a part of life. Actually, it’s a very healthy part of life if you will let it be. You see, the only difference between losing and learning is your mindset. That’s it!  This week I dig into the how and why of appreciating the losses in life. Whether you are a business leader, a parent, an athlete, or a toddler (don’t think I have many toddler-listeners) there’s something for you in this episode.  May you have fresh perspective and CLARITY this week as you learn to...

Why Looks Aren't Everything

April 20, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.42 MB

We’ve heard so many phrases like, “looks can be deceiving” and “don’t judge a book by its cover.” Anyone who has been in a long-term, meaningful relationship knows that looks change over time. But that certainly doesn’t mean your relationship sags (sorry, I couldn’t help myself). The truth is that there are countless numbers of outwardly “attractive” people who are miserable and separated. The same principle is true for brands. You might have amazing looking content. Your logo might be the...

How Reductionism Kills Us

April 13, 2021 09:30 - 9 minutes - 7.44 MB

I’ve been reading through the book Leaders Eat Last with several members of my team at Congruent and it’s spurred on some deeper thinking about what’s going on in company culture, relationships, and society at large. When we reduce one another to single believes or values, we destroy relationships. The CLARITY is that we care for, cooperate with, and depend on people with many beliefs that are different than ours. That is the basis for healthy society.  I hope this principle encourages you...
