744: Adam Stones - Establishing Influence Through Communication
What is the best way to build your brand, grow your business, or create change? It has a lot to do with whether you have influence or not. I'm not talking about being an "influencer" or influencing from the outside. I'm talking about what it takes to influence from within with the power of communication. My guest, Adam Stones, is the author of Influence: Powerful Communications, Positive Change, a communications playbook that guides readers through the five traits of influence. Adam Stones is a writer and communications strategist who makes positive change and has an impact. His work focuses on strategy, brand-building, PR, and content creation. He helps entrepreneurs and changemakers build communication skills to make a more significant impact. He's a cyclist and dad and who takes that job very seriously. We talk about turning influence on its head by focusing on communication. It's easy to communicate but hard to connect. Connection is where the real change happens. We talk about moving from a passive to an active mindset. We touch on the importance of being invested in the future and being powered by purpose. We talk about putting your why into everything you do. Adam walks us through the five core traits of influential communicators. We talk about storytelling and using the AIDA or attention, interest, desire, and action copywriting technique. We also talk about how useful it is to capture your story in a single sentence. Adam touches on his ten golden rules for behavioral change communication, the concept of OSEP or owned, shared, earned, paid, and so much more.

743: Robbie Samuels - How a Small List Can Still Lead To Big Results
There will be some big aha moments in today's conversation. First off, you can be successful even if your email list is small. Also, your list may be more extensive than you initially thought. Your prospects aren't limited. We all have to start somewhere, so everyone's list is small at some point. Fortunately, I have a networking expert here to teach us how to lean into our network and find the right potential customers, whether we are just starting or changing our offering and expertise. Robbie Samuels is a Virtual Event Design Consultant and Executive Zoom Producer. He provides virtual event design strategies and relationship-based business strategies. It's his goal to help us make the most of our virtual event experiences. He's the host of the On The Schmooze podcast, where he interviews professionals who've achieved success in their field or industry. He's the author of Croissants vs. Bagels: Strategic, Effective, and Inclusive Networking at Conferences and Small List, Big Results: Launch a Successful Offer No Matter the Size of Your Email List, which we are talking about today. Some of the things we talk about are how your network can be an extension of your list. You can also bring your network with you no matter what you're working on. We mean people you know, have met, and social platform friends. We talk about getting clear on who you intend to serve and not serve. Mindset is a big part of this. Don't presume you know what others will be interested in. We also touch on being clear about who you serve, translating into referrals. Robbie gives us a step-by-step breakdown of how he wakes up his network. We talk about Zoom calls, listening intentionally, and more list and networking gold.

742: Coaching Break - What's Holding You Back: The Deserving Ceiling
Do you know what's really holding you back? Even when someone is willing to accept that their limited thinking and mindsets are holding them back, usually they express that by saying, "I know, I have to believe in what I'm capable of first." The biggest issue tends to not be believing in what you're capable of. It's believing in what you deserve. Contact Jeffrey- Website Coaching Support My book, The Self-Employed Life is now available!
