We have Charles Byrd on the show today who’s a guy we recently got connected with and was introduced as the best connector out there. He’s creating the most profitable JV partnerships with his systematic way of connecting others. What’s really cool about this is we are all surrounded by opportunities, and many are not always super obvious. That’s the power of having a system and in this case, you can set that up in your life, by connecting with people who have systemic follow-ups which can turn into a potential revenue source, affiliate partners, or just for connecting sake. Charles is going to dive into all the systems he lives by, some awesome hacks in regards to following up with your contacts and JV partners, the shifts to a never-ending flow of clients, and how to not only be great at relationships but guide them to a positive conclusion for everyone. When you’re done, check out our previous episode with Michael Gerber for more insight into how having the proper systems in place can skyrocket your business and our show with Andy Hussong on how to land those JV deals. “It’s simply paying attention to who people are, what their magic gift to the world is, what are they into, where do they live and that gives you all these little entry points to provide value to them.” - Charles Byrd   Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to get a network going if you do not already have that community The Invisible Pitch What to say in a message to a potential connection without sounding spammy How Charles is able to close a JV deal in 20 minutes How to approach networking without having a podcast so people feel comfortable How to avoid the reciprocation trap How Charles made a huge connection at Burning Man The Power of the Ping!   Resources From Charles Byrd: PureJV.com Clarity.PureJV.com - to book a call References and Links Mentioned: Asana Vidyard   Loom The Brain Newton Cloze Evernote PureJV.com Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

Our guest today, is Eric Siu who we met last year at Rich Schrefen’s event. Eric has an agency, Single Grain who works with major companies such as Amazon and Airbnb, and Uber. He also has a content intelligence software called ClickFlow which basically makes you look like a genius. He’s a partner and co-host with Neil Patel in the Marketing School podcast as well as his own podcast called Leveling Up. The dude is a rockstar in marketing, SaaS, and software and he blew us away in this episode. And to top it off, he has a book coming out called Leveling Up as well, and it’s all about how to level up in life and how he’s taken his experience from gaming and even poker and has been able to apply these to business and identify these power-ups and moments in time where he realizes he can think differently which allows him to wake up each day and feel like he’s playing a game in real life. We also broke down a ton of traffic strategies, and how you can think differently on how to acquire SEO traffic in a creative way. When you have finished listening, check out our previous chats with Christopher Gimmer and Stephan Spencer for more tactics on how to go off-brand and increase traffic as well as how to succeed with 100% SEO marketing.  “I don’t think that I know too much and that I’m that good and I also don’t think I’m that bad either. That’s the way I approach it and it makes it a lot easier because it keeps me humble and even-keeled. The moment you start to think you are amazing, the moment you start to become too full of yourself - that’s when things start to fall apart.” - Eric Siu   Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to approach things with a beginner’s mind The power of the podcast once again and how’s it’s lead to great, free education, lifelong friendships, and networking with amazing people Why you don’t want to jump the gun and insist your child stop playing all those video games How being persistent led from a fledgling podcast to a successful marketing agency Why Eric’s agency switched their focus and how they are succeeding current day Lessons learned from the poker table How to reframe things to increase your power Growth principles for long term thinking Alternate ways to make money from affiliate marketing without being an affiliate   Resources From Eric Siu: LevelingUp.com Find Eric on Twitter or Instagram  ClickFlow Single Grain Agency   References and Links Mentioned: MicroAcquire.com QuietLightBrokerage.com Roland Frasier’s EPIC challenge  Gary V’s How To Create 64 Pieces Of Content A Day Eric’s YouTube Channel Marketing School podcast KingSumo The Almanack of Naval by Eric Jorgenson Your Music And People by Derek Sivers Breakthrough Advertising by Eugene M.

We have Dan Norris on the show today, and he’s someone who has accomplished quite a lot, with a somewhat different approach to marketing. He focuses on four core pillars: branding, community, storytelling, and content marketing. In this episode, we do a deep dive into all four of those. After founding WP Curve, which was subsequently sold to GoDaddy, Dan started a new venture, Black Hops Brewing in Australia. You’ll hear Dan discuss how he has created one of the biggest and well-known brands in his country (voted the #1`craft brewery in Australia), all with basically no ad spend.  There’s a similar thread in the way he’s marketed both his WP Curve brand and his craft beer brand, and it all comes down to his concept of Compound Marketing, which is also the basis behind his new book. When you’re done, check out our conversation with Lisa Cherney for more content strategies and how to be real to your audience even if that means being putting off others, and get some advice from Anthony Constantino, who also runs a super fun company that really resonates with his customers. “It helps to take this approach where you’ve got these things compounding behind the scenes without you necessarily having to do a whole lot. I see our competitors buying billboards and doing paid ads and I’m glad we don’t have to do all that.” - Dan Norris   Some Topics We Discussed Include: Taking a bath in beer? (it does wonders for your hair) How to promote a unique beer so that it sells out Why too much advertising can actually a bad thing Drink Dan’s brew and tag us and Dan! Putting together a good story for your brand Why Dan gets so much traction with basically no ad spend Giving up all the information for free! Thinking about collaborations?

Today’s episode with Julie Adams is a real mind bender and we love that Julie has a thriving affiliate business, while also keeping it simple. We talk about her goals of retiring early and she dissects her entire business model as she’s an open book. Julie’s business model is so tactical and you’ll be able to take her way of thinking and apply even parts of it to your own business. She just wants to make sure she is showing up on Google without worrying about Facebook ads or even email lists. She’s just sticking to keeping it lean, mean and profitable.  Julie has a small portfolio of these sites, which are doing great, and it’s really smart how diversified she is. She discusses how she manages the content, the three most important things to have dialed in on your site, what type of time frame you should look at, how she gets her sites ranks, what to do to get backlinks, as well as how to approach affiliate offers and how to get a higher commission right off the bat. Once you’re done listening, be sure to check out our chats we mentioned with Nate Broughton and Matt Diggity. “Google is able to understand language at this point, so if you answer the question in a sentence format, they are able to better understand.” - Julie Adams Some Topics We Discussed Include: Julie’s relatively small portfolio of affiliate sites that will bring her enough money to retire in style Whether you should buy a older domain or a new fresh one to start off The three most important things that no one should overlook When you can expect to get out of the sandbox How to increase your commission potential right off the bat Why being a little less introverted will go a long way The no brainer way to get backlinks that are quality Julie’s rule of thumb when hiring content writers Keyword research tactics and which sites to compare Resources From Julie Adams: SERP Decoder Julie Adams on Twitter References and Links Mentioned: Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

Marley Jaxx is on the show today, and she is a content marketing, storytelling, YouTube, and branding expert ninja. Listen in as you’ll hear all about her paid challenges she holds where she’s walking people through these bite-sized chunks of content that leads them to a graduation event, which turns into a high ticket paid offer. If you are curious as to how the challenge model works, she breaks it all down here and you can see how a product can be sold at a low ticket price, but then how that turns into a high ticket offer.  We also chat about what she uses for her frameworks in her storytelling, how she uses proprietary ideas to build her following and keep people tuned in to the end, even creating super fans that sign up for the challenge again and again. There are a lot of strategies packed into this one, and after you’ve listened check out our previous shows with Pat Flynn and Gideon Shalwick for more insights on how to build super fans and using video for your content.  “You have to bring your audience on the journey, even when it’s hard. When you hit rock bottom, that’s when they need to see you the most because when you are on your up they are going to be cheering you on and say ‘I got to witness that and be a part of that’, and that’s going to create your relationship which is going to lead to your sales.” - Marley Jaxx Some Topics We Discussed Include: Why you need to “Stop The Pop!” How to set up your proprietary mechanism in your challenge How to space out your content into bite-sized chunks and save the best for the last Knowing your value ladder before you even start Who is Elsa and why we are talking so much about her?

Today we are talking with John Warrillow, who has written three books -  Built To Sell, The Automatic Customer, and The Art Of Selling Your Business. These books cover the basics of how to design your company so that it can be sold in the future, generating revenue from your business, and how to finally make that exit happen. During our chat today, we talked about how to set up your business, why you want to have recurring payments as opposed to a lifetime offer, and how to build a business to potentially scale and exit if it’s built on the back of an influencer or personal brands.  We cover a lot of ground in this episode and this is a great conversation for our listeners as a lot of folks are building fan bases, thinking about the marketing side of it, and building traffic to them. This is a great conversation to consider what makes up the value of your business, regardless of whether you are going to sell or not. When you’re done get some more advice about selling and acquiring businesses from our conversations with Carl Allen and Dan & Joe Kalis. “You should focus on branding products in your overall business. So there’s this concept of service providers, coaches and consultants productizing, and it’s the process of making your service look like a thing, ideally making it run as its own entity on an automatic or recurring revenue cycle.” - John Warrillow Some Topics We Discussed Include: Who else wants a “sailboat business”? (putting your feet up while enjoying the view and people are sending you checks) Dissecting how Elon Musk runs his business Best tactics if you are a digital marketer Building a brand into your business so you can eventually walk away What’s a trojan horse got to do with your marketing?
