Benjamin Franklin famously said “...but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Sometimes, I wonder of those aren’t the same thing.  You know the feeling.  April 15th is coming up, and you feel that knot in your stomach as you worry about getting your taxes done right while stressing over how little of your money you actually kept. But, hey - if you’re an entreprenuer, it’s not as bad as it looks, right? You just work harder and make more. Have you eve...

There's No B Plan For Your A Game

November 29, 2019 17:00 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MB

We all have dreams for what we want to be when we grow up.  Some dreams come true but most do not. Let’s be honest.   Our guest today also had a dream. As a young boy, he loved football.  He was so committed to playing the sport professionally he publicly declared to family and friends his goal of dominating his position, and making it to the NFL, in spite of being smaller, slower, and less genetically gifted than most who played the game.   But dominate he did, overcoming incredible odd...

How to Set up Your Business up to Scale and Exit

June 11, 2019 16:00 - 39 minutes - 35.9 MB

Let me ask you a question. Did you go in business because you needed a job, wanted better income, or because you wanted to create an asset - a business that, over time, could produce revenue from a source other than your direct labor? I’m pretty sure it’s not because you wanted to work longer hours for less pay taking on more stress and risk. But that’s what a lot of entrepreneurs do.  They trade more of their time for less money in the pursuit of a dream - they want to become a celebrit...

Finding your people, creating community and living a more connected life

June 04, 2019 16:00 - 23 minutes - 21.8 MB

Seems these days everyone’s looking for what’s missing. And I don’t know about you, but you could serve hundreds or even thousands of people in your business and still feel disconnected, lonely, even just get in a funk. And everyone’s noticing this stuff everywhere. It shows up in a lot of different ways, too. Addictions to social media or TV, drugs, alcohol, sex ... even work. Seems like everyone is starving, and no one’s getting what they really need.   Have you ever felt less than 100...

How to Use Social Media to Inspire Others

June 03, 2019 22:00 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MB

Now, it’s absolutely true that you need to know what the outcomes are that you want in your life. You need to have real clarity about how you show up in the world. What is the activity you’re doing? What’s your life look like? But many times the vehicle that gets you there isn’t what you thought. In the case of Devan, who started his career as a professional athlete, he certainly didn’t think within three years that would close for him and he’d have to be open to new opportunities, but, like...

Dr. C's Business Journey: with Dr. Alan Christianson

May 21, 2019 21:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MB

Have you ever met someone you just instantly respect?  Someone who, for what could be an unexplainable reason you simply admire for how they show up in the world? That’s the feeling many people I know have when they meet Dr. Alan Christianson.  But it wasn’t always that way for Alan. Born with Cerebral Palsey, Alan struggled as a child to do the things most young boys take for granted.  But it was his curiosity matched with incredible discipline and consistent effort that took Alan from on...

The Alter Ego Effect with Todd Herman

May 10, 2019 21:32 - 32 minutes - 29.9 MB

Nothing's more frustrating than ending your day and putting your head on a pillow and beating yourself up saying, “Why didn't I say that to that person?” or “Why didn't I raise my hand?” or “Why didn't I speak up?” or “Why didn't I take action?” “Why didn't I close that sale when that person expressed interest?” Nothing beats us ... that was the trapped self. There is something that you were concerned with on the field of play as opposed to, “I am confident. I'm articulate. I'm decisive,” ...

How to Heal a Divided America with Congressman Tim Ryan

May 07, 2019 16:00 - 33 minutes - 31.4 MB

Tim Ryan is not your typical politician. He meditates, does yoga, eats organic and believes that what ails America starts at the kitchen table. When 75% of the cost of our healthcare system is largely preventable, if you want to get the pharmaceutical industry under control, you just need to get healthy. Tim believes that, at the end of the day, that is how you're going to make your real impact. You can complain and moan all you want, but if we get healthy, that will reduce the impact of t...

Scaling Your Business with Allison Maslan

May 03, 2019 16:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MB

How many of us never really realize our true potential - because we fail to take the leap, and get out there with our message? Some call it fear of failure. For others - it’s imposter’s syndrome. So many people QUIT right before their break thru. How about you? Be honest. Do you feel Stuck? Like you're running up a greased chute, or stuck in quicksand in your business? You’re not alone, and - the good news is - the pivots you need are most likely way simpler then you think. You just need...

Creating and Automating your Practice with Dr. Sachin Patel

April 30, 2019 16:00 - 37 minutes - 35.6 MB

The notion of value has always fascinated Karl, partly, because it’s so subjective. And I think it’s that subjectivity that make us many times under-value what we do for others. Because that’s the real measure of value. Have you saved someone time, money or improved their life with what you could do better than they could do on their own? Examples are all around - the car detailer that comes to your office or home that charges 3X more for the car wash you could get up the street if you w...

Effective Book Publicity with Celeste Fine

April 26, 2019 16:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MB

If you’re like most influencers - you’ve got an important message to share. And one of the best ways to do that is to write a book. But the BIG question is, how to you get distribution? Do you need to get on the NYTimes Best Seller’s List? Should you write a book proposal for a publishing deal, or should you self-publish? To go deep, you need to get to Mindshare Summit this year - we’ve got some amazing breakouts that will help you get traction on your next book - but if your curious about...
