The EntreLeadership Podcast

While the influence of word of mouth on customer behavior is not particularly surprising, what New York Times best-selling author Jay Baer does find shocking is that few companies bother to build any sort of strategy around it. And that, he says, is a huge missed opportunity. Join us as Jay gets super tactical and breaks down exactly how to create talk triggers, also known as the strategic choices you make to get your customers talking about your product or service. Also joining us is EntreLeadership Senior Vice President Sarah Sloyan with insight on the unexpected power of moments.    entreleadership.com/podcast Buy the book: Talk Triggers Jay Baer's website #81: Jay Baer—Why Smart Marketing Is About Help Not Hype #259: Dan Heath—Moments That Change Lives The Power of Moments Enter to win a coaching session with Sarah Sloyan EntreLeadership Reading Guide 17 Mistakes Leaders Make With Support Staff from Belay Solutions    Want expert help with your business question?

But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, says filmmaker Jon Erwin, whose production company makes faith-based, inspirational feature films. In fact, he insists if you examine failure closely—think an uncomfortable, really honest look—you may very well find the keys to your next big success. Tune in as Jon shares how doing just that helped him learn from a crushing box office loss in 2015 to go on to make the highest-grossing independent film of 2018.

News flash: When it comes to running a business, you can’t do it all. Sure, you can survive 90-hour work weeks for a season, but ultimately if you’re interested in building a business bigger than you, you’re going to have to delegate. And it’s not as simple as telling someone else to do something for you and hoping for the best. Tune in to hear Dave Ramsey explain the 10 basics of delegation, the same ones that helped him build his business from scratch and develop it into an international brand with more than 800 team members. Also joining us are Ramsey Solutions’ own Daniel Tardy and Sarah Sloyan who share why—and how—to develop new leaders within your organization. And finally, StoryBrand CEO Donald Miller weighs in on the undeniable value those leaders add to your bottom line. If you’re feeling even the least bit overwhelmed, don’t miss this powerful episode.   entreleadership.com/podcast Want more content like Dave's lesson on delegation?
