Today’s show is a full-circle moment for us because way back in 2009 one of the first marketing products we bought was the GKIC membership and we learned there were local chapters. We went to the San Diego meeting which brought us into the GKIC world which was the foundation of our marketing education. Bill Glazer, who founded GKIC along with legendary marketer Dan Kennedy joins us on the show today, along with Rob Cuesta, CEO, and Founder of Bright Flame Books. Together they have founded The Outrageous Marketers Alliance.  They dive into how to be outrageous in your marketing and break it down into the eight steps to help you stand out from the rest, re-train your brain to look for different methods, and give lots of examples of folks doing just that from their marketing mastermind. You’ll love today’s show as it’s almost a mini-course in outrageous marketing tactics with not only lots of a-ha moments but fun and laughs. And, if this episode resonated with you, check out our conversations with Dean Holland and Greg Rollett where we talk about more unique ways to grow your audience and set yourself apart from the rest. “If you’re ever going to work with anyone else in your business, you want to get somebody who also understands marketing, because so many times people don’t understand marketing and your business will go out of business.” - Bill Glazer “First we need to talk about what outrageous means is and a lot of people think that it means you’ve got to dress up or you’ve got to do whatever it is but it really means being prepared to do what your competitors won’t do and go where your competitors won’t go.” - Rob Cuesta Some Topics We Discussed Include: How Bill & Rob held the last live event in the world How to create campaigns that your competitors won’t even think about What happened when Super Mario got in the elevator with a very well known marketer? How to make yourself stand out (it’s simple as changing your attire) What’s very important to take pictures of on your vacation (and it’s not photos of the beach) How to use shock and awe in your campaign What it means to S&D your way to better marketing And much, much more!

On today’s show, we are chatting with Geoff Woods who is the Vice President of The ONE Thing and host of The ONE Thing podcast. After hearing a quote by Jim Rohn that "you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with" Geoff set out on a mission to surround himself with high-level CEOs and successful entrepreneurs. Fast forward, Geoff went from employee to entrepreneur, launching a company with the co-authors of the best selling book The ONE Thing. This book is one of those reads where you read it once, make some things, and overtime as the changes drift a little bit, then you can re-read this book to reset. Geoff dives into how to structure your day in order to get to that ideal 20% of working with your priorities to get 80% of your results. You’ll see how this works as he details an example with Joe, asking specific questions in order to narrow in on that one important thing. We also talk about how to get your team to be aligned with your goals, especially if you are working virtually, how to set your core priorities, and how to figure out what that “first domino” is to make the remainder of your priorities to fall into place easily. If you like some of what Geoff has to say, be sure to check out our conversations with Ken Coleman and Nic Peterson with more insight about taking aligned action to reach your goals faster without sacrificing. “I was where a lot of people either have been or are right now, which is life is good and you are lacking fulfillment. I remember feeling like I was destined for more and I know that I’m meant to do bigger things for this world. ” - Geoff Woods Some Topics We Discussed Include: Time blocking and mind containers to get to peak productivity  This one golden tip to get you to transition away from work easier Going from a full-time job to creating a better life by making a huge impact on the world Tuning into 20% of your priorities to get 80% of your results Our plan to go on a couples retreat with each other?!
