820: Bill Price – Creating a Frictionless Business
I believe having a frictionless business is one of the key components to a successful business today. Quite frankly, I personally won't work with any business who doesn't make it easy for me to do business with them. We business owners can easily imagine that our own customers and potential customers may feel the same way, so this discussion with my guest Bill Price is an important and enlightening conversation for all of us self-employed folks. In our chat, Bill and I discuss the definition of a frictionless experience – especially in what I like to call "high-touch" (that is, highly personalized) businesses. As I like to say: really good customer service = meeting people's expectations. We discuss this concept, as well as how preempting a customer's questions or needs is crucial to creating a frictionless experience. We also talk about how making it easy to do business with you can indicate respect for your customers and for the value of their time. Finally, Bill shares his insights about how to reduce friction in your customer experiences. Bill Price was Amazon's first global vice president of customer service and is the founder and president of Driva Solutions, a consultancy dedicated to creating highly effective customer contact strategies and operations. He has more than 35 years' experience advising and directing major operations in more than 160 leading companies. He's the co-author of The Frictionless Organization: Deliver Great Customer Experiences with Less Effort (Berrett-Koehler Publishers; June 21, 2022) and of the bestseller The Best Service Is No Service, and Your Customer Rules!

818: Todd Henry – Daily Creative: A Practice to Inspire Creativity & Problem Solving
Our guest today, Todd Henry, is truly one of my favorite authors, and I'm pretty sure he's the only guest I've had on my show four, maybe even five, times. And it's because his books, and who he is as a person, are far more real and genuine than most. He has a true in-the-trenches style that I love so much. In our conversation today, we talk about the reasoning behind the intriguing format of his latest book, Daily Creative and how the choice of format was impacted by the pandemic. We discuss the nature of creativity, the 'long arc' of creativity, and how creativity is an iterative, evolutionary process (emphasis on process). We also talk about how the 'noise' of the world around us can impact our creativity – and how to manage around it – plus Todd shares his own habits for daily creativity. Positioning himself as an "arms dealer for the creative revolution", Todd Henry teaches leaders and organizations how to establish practices that lead to everyday brilliance. He is the author of six books (The Accidental Creative, Die Empty, Louder Than Words, Herding Tigers, The Motivation Code, Daily Creative) which have been translated into more than a dozen languages, and he speaks and consults across dozens of industries on creativity, leadership, and passion for work. With more than fifteen million downloads, his podcast The Accidental Creative offers weekly tips for how to stay prolific, brilliant, and healthy. Todd's book Die Empty was named by Amazon.com as one of the best books of 2013. His latest book, Daily Creative, offers daily sparks of inspiration and practical advice for creative pros.

816: Dr. Gena Cox – Being Inclusive as Small Business Owners
A new, important role has entered the lives of business owners – the role of Chief Diversity Officer. This is a role in which we, as business owners, ensure we are being inclusive in our businesses and in our communities, with greater consciousness of the messages we're putting out into the world. It may seem like yet another hat we must wear as small, self-employed business owners, but being inclusive is equally important for the self-employed as it is for large corporations. But as usual, how we can be inclusive is different for us than it is for large corporations. To help us navigate this topic, I speak with Dr. Gena Cox, author of Leading Inclusion. In our conversation, Dr. Cox breaks down the difference between diversity and inclusion, and how inclusion is particularly relevant to small businesses and the self-employed. As Dr. Cox says, all of us can be more inclusive than we currently are. We discuss how inclusion and respect can impact many of our daily business activities (for example, even in things such as decisions about how and to whom we offer discounts). Dr. Cox also offers practical insights and solutions for increasing inclusion, such as looking for things we have in common with others who are different from us, and how having a "comfort goal" can help us be more inclusive more easily. After a decades-long career advising leaders in some of the largest companies in America and beyond, Dr. Gena Cox concluded that the pace of workplace inclusion change was unacceptably slow. She harnessed her organizational psychology and executive coach insights, her understanding of c-suite dynamics, and her personal workplace experiences to write a book, Leading Inclusion. Her book helps leaders connect unfamiliar dots to drive inclusion from the top of their organizations. Gena asks her clients to remember one simple idea: "Inclusion tops diversity!"

814: Lou Diamond – Speak Easy to Connect Powerfully
One of the key distinctions between self-employed businesses and other business is that most other businesses are transaction-based. But our businesses are usually relationship-based. Relationships begin with conversations. So it's in your best interest to learn how to master the art of conversation. With that goal in mind, I speak in this episode with Lou Diamond, author of the new book, Speak Easy. In our conversation about conversation, we talk about how the lessons we've both learned as podcasters have helped us be better conversationalists, how the length of a conversation is not necessarily correlated to the quality of the connection that is made, and the importance of asking the right questions. We also talk through the 7 Cs of Engagement and the critical distinction between a presentation versus a conversation. Lou Diamond is a highly sought-after speaker, connector, leadership & performance mentor, and podcaster. Author of the international best seller Master the Art of Connecting and CEO of Thrive, Lou has made it his life's work to help businesses, leaders and brands thrive through the power of connecting. His innovative, connecting tactics have helped hundreds of companies across the globe explode their sales, retain their clients and build a thriving culture. Lou's boundless energy and motivation has inspired audiences to feel they can conquer the world and make tons of great new connections doing it.

813: Jeanette Bronée – Self-Care for the Self-Employed
It seems we may have gone from a pandemic to an epidemic. The epidemic is burnout. According to recent data, 79% of workers say they're teetering on the edge of burnout. While no one is collecting such data specifically on us (the hardworking self-employed people whose very lives are riding on our own shoulders!), but with general-population exhaustion rates approaching 80%, can you imagine how close many of us self-employed folks must be to complete burnout? (And where would our businesses and lives be without us?!). It's definitely time to rethink self-care for the self-employed! We often don't talk enough about self-care – a crucial part of my 'self-employed ecosystem' – which is why I've invited Jenette Bronée to speak with us today about this crucial topic. In our conversation, we talk about having the right mindset concerning self-care, how self-care allows you to be your best at work (and at life, of course), and how we can demystify self-care (hint: self-care is not just about getting a massage!). Ultimately, proper self-care can help us avoid the trap of being "overwhelmingly busy" and allow us to execute on one of my key tenets of successful self-employment: working "on your business" instead of "in your business." Jeanette Bronée is rethinking self-care in the workplace as the foundation for peak performance, engagement, and a culture where people belong and work better together. An internationally recognized wellbeing expert, she shares the tools to reclaim agency and cultivate the human connection that helps us communicate and collaborate with curiosity and care so that we can navigate challenges and thrive in our constantly changing reality. She has spoken at the United Nations and delivered TEDx talks and keynotes throughout the US and the world on five continents about how we can facilitate change in our relationship with resilience, mental health, and wellbeing at work so that we can be busy and healthy at the same time, cultivating a culture where people create impact, growth, and sustainable success, together. Her upcoming book "The Self-Care Mindset, Rethinking How We Change and Grow, Harness Well-Being and Reclaim Work-Life Quality" is launching in the fall and is available for pre-order.
