How Time Chunking Can Make You More Productive, Ep. 68
October 18, 2018 06:00 - 37 minutes - 30.6 MBOn today’s episode of Just the Tips, it’s Dean and I flying solo again, and we start off by acknowledging Dean’s, um, contributions to the show, before discussing how I, for once in my life, am all talked out, having just made six months worth of video content. So on today’s episode, we check in on what we’re both working on, take note that Dean is still way behind on our book-writing contest, and discuss such matters as how to be more productive and how to send Dean subliminal messages. And...

October 11, 2018 06:00 - 31 minutes - 25.8 MBOn today’s Just the Tips, we talk with Matt Watson, who had enormous success early in life as co-founder of Vinsolutions, and after selling that company for $150 million, started Stackify to solve the biggest problems he had at Vinsolutions. Matt tells us about his early days, how he sort of fell into work on Vinsolutions and how it went from side hustle to major hustle. And he shares his unique insights as a developer and an entrepreneur, and how his parents’ entrepreneurial spirit inspired...
What if you’re selling to the wrong customer?, Ep. 66
October 04, 2018 06:00 - 41 minutes - 33.3 MBOn today’s episode of Just the Tips, I’m in a much better mood, having adjusted to the keto diet, though Dean’s fitness advice could put me back over the edge. But in the meantime, Dean and I dive into something that has come up numerous times on the show, but we haven’t quite been able to take our time with the topic. It’s a question that nearly every business owner confronts at some point: What if I’m selling to the wrong customer? And if the answer is “no,” it’s a real turning point for e...
Artificial intelligence marketing for small businesses with Magnus Unemyr, Ep. 65
September 27, 2018 06:00 - 35 minutes - 28.6 MBAs listeners to Just the Tips know, I am all about systems. You put a system in place and get it running smoothly and you open up hectares of time for high-value work. On today’s episode, we have a guest who puts my love of automation to shame. Magnus Unemyr has worked in software development and the Internet of Things for 25 years, and has really dedicated himself to marketing automation and marketing with artificial intelligence and the internet-of-things. Specifically, he’s figured out ho...
The Three False Beliefs Holding Entrepreneurs Back, Ep. 64
September 20, 2018 06:00 - 49 minutes - 39.8 MBLongtime listeners of Just the Tips know that Dean and I are in an epic race to see who can finish their book first. It was a challenge set by Ken Dunn, our guest on episode 44, and as of this recording, there’s no real easy way to put this, I’m mopping the floor with Dean. I may even be able to finish my book and come back and write his. But aside from the friendly competition (which isn’t that friendly and which I am winning), putting my thoughts down in a book has been great for me to hel...
How to Not Be a Donkey with Alex Dee, Ep. 63
September 13, 2018 06:00 - 50 minutes - 40.9 MBOn today’s episode of Just the Tips, we have a bit of a wildcard, who jumped into the show before I could introduce him, and then served as a Don King-style hype man for Dean and myself. But that’s Alex Dee, a man who brings enormous energy to everything he does. The origins of this episode may have come from an evening in a hot tub, but Alex actually has an amazing story of triumphing over adversity as he came to America, triumphing again when his life hit the skids, and then turning everyt...
The Early Entrepreneurial Bug, Ep. 62
September 06, 2018 06:00 - 33 minutes - 27 MBOn today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I are reunited over the Internet after being together in person for Dean’s wedding! After admitting the entire ceremony was a ruse just to get me to the U.K., Dean and I talk about a little cake controversy after the wedding, and all of the podcast fodder that Dean’s groomsmen bestowed upon me during their speeches. So today’s episode is all about war stories from jobs and companies past. And of course, we kick it all off with Dean selling parake...
Keep the Money You Make with Bradley Gibb, Ep. 61
August 30, 2018 06:00 - 40 minutes - 32.5 MBFor all of the many skills an entrepreneur applies to their work and life, often taking care of their financial well-being isn’t one of them. Planning for retirement and making sure you are “financially healthy” can be intimidating to think about. But on today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I talk with a guy who knows how to talk with entrepreneurs about money. Bradley Gibb is the co-founder of Atlas Wealth Solutions and CashFlow Tactics, and as he told us in this week’s episode, entre...

August 23, 2018 06:00 - 40 minutes - 33 MBOn today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I chat about the importance of taking breaks, going on vacation, leaving the grind behind and resetting. This is a really important episode for anyone who is feeling the burnout, or who is eyeing an upcoming vacation with anxiety because they feel like they just can’t step away. Dean talks about how he sometimes realizes he’s a bottleneck in his business that’s unplugged once he’s unplugged, and I tell a story about an epic vacation decision that...
The Internet’s Legal Minefield with Richard Chapo, Ep. 59
August 16, 2018 06:00 - 45 minutes - 36.4 MBOn today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I punch above our weight a bit by having Richard Chapo, a lawyer specializing in internet law for businesses, on the show. Richard is a business lawyer in San Diego who has been practicing for 25 years and advises small and large online businesses on how best to comply with laws applicable to conducting business online. We dig into some pretty gnarly legal stuff this week, including GDPR, collecting sales tax, and what's up with Apple and its bac...

Forget Funnel Hacking with Shawn Lynam, Ep. 57
August 02, 2018 06:00 - 38 minutes - 30.9 MBOn today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean grants me a new nickname that I actually earned back in the day when I worked in London, The Loud American, but I quiet down a bit to listen to a good friend of mine, Shawn Lynam, tell his story of how he went from the corporate world, to the real estate world, to internet marketing. Shawn really knows his stuff, and in this episode we talk about how to not complicate matters, how to model your success on others, and how to position your offer to mak...
Everything You Know About Conversion is Wrong with Chris Dayley, Ep. 56
July 26, 2018 06:00 - 37 minutes - 30.5 MBToday’s episode of Just the Tips finds me recovering from an accidental 22-mile walk, but that doesn’t stop me from getting excited about our guest, Chris Dayley. Chris is a mastermind at conversion, having done more than 1,000 split tests in his time, and applying psychology to marketing to really help businesses dig into what makes customers convert. On today’s show we talk about the assumptions people make about websites, how most of them are wrong, and how to run a proper test to grow th...
Strengthen the Offer Until They Can't Say No, Ep. 55
July 19, 2018 06:00 - 52 minutes - 48.5 MBOn today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean comes through with the promise of something he teased in an earlier episode, which is a hugely successful marketing strategy that he’s implemented for his own business. In the last episode, Dean said he was working on the strategy that had been crushing it, but then he turned it into an episode of Zero Tips and wouldn’t tell us what it actually was. Well, today the wait is over, and we can now hear about what Dean has been up to and how he’s been kil...

July 12, 2018 06:00 - 37 minutes - 30.7 MBToday’s episode of Just the Tips has me welcoming two guests to the show, one being former co-host Dean Holland whom I have summarily downgraded to recurring guest. The other is a guy who knows a thing or two about digital marketing, the amazing Mike Schmidt. MIKE is the CEO and Founder of a digital marketing agency based in Tucson, Arizona, and using his experience building a team of 20 in-house web professionals, Mike founded Agency Mastermind to share his craft and nurture and encourage m...
The Five Pillars of Your Business, Ep. 53
July 05, 2018 06:00 - 37 minutes - 30.5 MBToday’s episode of Just the Tips is just Dean and me, and it starts off with two interesting premises: 1) I’m nice to Dean and 2) Dean doesn’t like podcasts. What better way to start a podcast off than that? But actually, we use the dull podcast that Dean listened to make a larger point about how brands that are connecting with their audiences and customers are the ones who show personality. Riffing on a Wendy’s Twitter takedown of Chick-Fil-A, we make the point that we’re not attracted to p...
Demystifying Cryptocurrency with Brian Keith Noonan, Ep. 52
June 28, 2018 06:00 - 33 minutes - 27.2 MBToday’s episode of Just the Tips dives into a topic that everyone is talking about but few understand: cryptocurrency.

Resolving Business Relationship Kerfuffles with Stacey Martino, Ep. 51
June 21, 2018 06:00 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBToday’s episode of Just the Tips is all about a mystery to me: relationships. Unless we’re talking about one’s relationship to spreadsheets, this is basically a foreign subject to me, but Stacey Martino and her husband Paul have been helping people find true satisfaction and happiness in their relationships through their site RelationshipDevelopment.org and RelationshipU®. They help people transform their relationships even when one partner is not cooperating. But the proof will be in the pu...
Geeking Out about Passive Income with Mark Podolsky, Ep. 50
June 14, 2018 06:00 - 35 minutes - 28.5 MBToday’s episode of Just the Tips sets a world record for Quickest Burn on a Podcast with Dean laying into me not ten seconds in, but we right the ship in time to welcome an amazing guest, Mark Podolsky, a man known across the Internet as the Land Geek. Mark has done more than 5,200 land deals since 2001, and knows about as much as anyone about generating passive income through land investing. And while “land investing” may not sound like the most cutting-edge topic, Mark actually has a fasci...

On this week’s episode, we talk about what it really means to influence others, how doing so requires you to master your emotions, and Bob’s five secrets for gaining influence. His philosophy is about more...
Happiness is a Stupid Goal with Brandon Carter, Ep. 48
May 31, 2018 05:22 - 39 minutes - 31.6 MBIt is the rare episode of Just the Tips where our guest receives the trumpet fanfare typically reserved for my esteemed British co-host Dean Holland. But if anyone deserves it, it’s Brandon Carter, one of the funniest and most strategic marketers in the game. You may know Brandon as a fitness expert, but we’re talking to him today about his marketing success story. If you want to know how to get yourself out there, and how to really connect with your audience, you need to join the millions o...
Warren Buffett and the One-Legged Man, Ep. 47
May 24, 2018 05:07 - 36 minutes - 29.4 MBThis week on Just the Tips Dean and I sit down to process an amazing experience I had recently, where I had the opportunity to see Warren Buffett at the Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting in Omaha, Nebraska. I had high expectations for the event, and I have to say it was even more amazing than I thought it would be. So on this week’s episode, Dean and I talk about what it was like going to such a huge event as that, what lessons I learned and what perspectives I gained, and how I ended ...
From Homeless to Seven Figures with Akbar Sheikh, Ep. 46

Akbar tells us all about finding himself in the hospital near death, and then finding the will and drive to live. He ended up homeless with his brother, and now the two ...

May 10, 2018 06:00 - 37 minutes - 30.6 MBThis week on Just the Tips we have a guest who is a very good friend of mine (confirmed by both parties, after Dean questioned whether it was a one-way friendship), who is not only one of the best coaches out there for digital marketing, she also has a remarkable story of pulling herself up by her bootstraps and creating something out of almost nothing. On this episode, we talk about how she hit rock bottom, how she then rocketed to success, and how she helps people do the same. Jerry! Jer...
How to Write a Not-Terrible Book with Ken Dunn, Ep. 44
May 03, 2018 06:00 - 38 minutes - 31.2 MBOur guest on this week’s Just the Tips is a man who spent 14 years in investigative and tactical policing, but that’s not the most interesting thing about him. He also went on to start a company that eventually sold for eight figures, but that is not the most interesting thing about him. He also started an international supply company that did $34 million in two years and, you guessed it, that’s not even the most interesting thing about him. Our guest Ken Dunn has done a lot and lived a full...

April 12, 2018 06:00 - 41 minutes - 37.7 MBYou know you’re talking to a real entrepreneur when one of the first things they say is “I’ve made a lot of mistakes.” The journey of the start-up business owner is one paved with mistakes and missteps, but on this week’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I are talking to someone who has come out the other side and is now killing it. Marcos Moura runs Amada Senior Care a franchise brand that is on track to do $75 million in revenue. And to hear him talk about it, he’s so humble, discussing ...

March 29, 2018 06:00 - 47 minutes - 38.3 MBOn today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I chat about his talk, “The Ultimate Funnel,” and whether he’d be better off staring silently at the audience for 24 of his 27 minutes on stage, or if he should do his actual presentation. All joking aside, the talk should be dynamite, and it provides a great launchpad for our episode today, talking about what gets us up in the morning to do what we do. How do we locate the passion for our business and for our customers? If you’ve ever felt like ...
Finger Painting and Forensics with Molly Montgomery, Ep. 38
March 22, 2018 06:00 - 34 minutes - 28.3 MBWhen you think of fun and happiness, generally the three things that come to mind are family, maybe traveling, and of course, accounting. No? Just us?

She is the creator of Founder's Haven, which believes that “the driving force behind a startup's ability to succeed is in the foun...
Flying Solo and Ignoring FOMO, Ep. 37

She cleaned them out, put some rose petals and water in them, and began taking them around the neighborhood, selling rose-petal perfume. But that’s just the beginning of Sheri’s story. Now she’...
How Stories Break Through False Beliefs with Steve Larsen, Ep. 35
March 01, 2018 06:00 - 38 minutes - 30.9 MBOn today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I welcome Steve Larsen, a good friend of mine and, to be honest, a man who is more obsessed with funnels than probably anyone on the planet. I had to ask him, out of the gate, how he got that way, and his answer may be something you can relate to. As he told us, he had tried to do business in traditional ways, everything from driving web traffic to even door-to-door sales, and nothing was as effective or efficient as ClickFunnels. Steve knows thi...

February 08, 2018 06:00 - 32 minutes - 26.5 MBOn today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I welcome Jeffrey Davidson, a man who has really become a leader in the leadership space. One of the greatest fears of entrepreneurs and small business owners, spoken or unspoken, is adding to a team (or even creating a team to being with). Whether you’ve led a team for a long time or you’re coming to it brand new, leadership is so much more difficult than all of the books and videos would have you believe. If any of this sounds familiar to you, ...
