The Fire Time Podcast
Tim Reed
Are you tired of presentations that are only half relevant to your business? Many speakers are not practitioners of their material, simply teachers—not so with The Fire Time Podcast.

ABOUT: Tim Reed is the Retail Sales Leader at Fireside Home Solutions in the Pacific Northwest where he helps his team members make it so stupidly easy to buy from them that there is no excuse not to. Starting as individual salesperson in an empty warehouse, he has grown Fireside’s Retail division by millions (after cutting his marketing budget by 90%). Tim has been invited all over the country to teach companies how to market effectively to their customers and sell more than ever before. His YouTube videos, sales blog, and “Fire Time Podcast” have become a resource for the industry and are actively helping thousands of people rethink their paradigms so that they can grow their businesses in the changing landscape. Tim learned “just enough to be dangerous” about sales, marketing, web development, and leadership from years of playing guitar in a failing punk band—which he swears has uniquely qualified him for his job today. Now considered one of the most innovative minds and compelling communicators in the industry, Tim uses his platform to serve others, helping them create clear messages that are wildly compelling to their audiences. Tim lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife, Jessica, two children, Olivia and Luke, and his 90 pound Golden Retriever, Walter. He still plays guitar in a failing punk band.

*Replay* Alex Judd - A Path For Growth
While we prepare for Season 13 of the podcast, we're taking a break from our Fire Time Magazine Rapid Reaction series to reply a conversation that Tim had with Alex Judd, CEO of Path for Growth.Here are the original show notes:Many businesses today exist for themselves when in reality they need to be operating for the sake of others. In today's episode, we examine the major benefits of what happens when you begin using your strengths not for yourself, but rather for service. A weekly Zoom Call Community focusing on generosity, gratitude, and growth was a silly thought Alex Judd had one night when the effects of COVID-19 were just starting to be visible in the day to day. We sat down with Alex (the former host of Dave Ramsey's Entreleadership Podcast) to discuss how much this 'silly' idea has swiftly turned into his new business.In this episode, you will gain value in the form of:
Learning how strength is ultimately for service (and how this core value can drastically improve your life)
Understanding how your habits are a crystal ball to your future self (and how to to change that if you don't like what you see)
Destroying the lie that walking around with a big to-do list is a badge of honor (it's actually crippling your potential)
Don't continue living the life you weren't meant to live. Learn to work on your internal strength, and then use it to serve others today!
