Alison Armstrong ~ Understanding Men ~ Current Series ~ 100 Interviews with 100 Major Influencers   Hello listeners, welcome to the show today. I want to welcome you back to the podcast and introduce another very special guest. Alison Armstrong is our guest today, I actually heard her first speak over six years ago and I was blown away by the content about men and women, and then I started just engulfing myself into her material. I can be a testament that what she teaches changes people's lives because it has been one of the most impactful subjects that I have studied throughout my life and my personal growth process. Alison and what she teaches has absolutely revolutionized the way that I see the world. Alison’s exploration into understanding the differences between men and women started way back in 1991. She just was curious about why men operated the way that we do, and she wanted to understand the differences between the sexes. She's been studying men for nearly 30 years now, and she has this type of understanding about the sexes, that when men see her speak they actually start to cry, and they do that because they feel more understood than they ever had in their entire lives. What she does is she distinguishes human instincts that compel both men and women to behave in ways that contradict and undermine our own purposes goals and values and needs and relationships. I think there's a few key important things that we don't study in school that are incredibly important. One of those is of course money. The other one is effective communication, and the other one is understanding relationships. These are three things that are essential for people to live a healthy well balanced life. So, I recommend anybody to check out.   I've made it actually one of my goals to make Allison and her material one of my major studies for the next year. I usually have a few major goals in a year and Allison is in her materials, one of the most important things my priorities for 2020. Throughout the interview, we talk about how she built this passion into an amazing location independent business, starting way back in the 90s. We talk about essential differences between the sexes, why men are operate the way that we do and argument resolution for couples.  I don't think there's anybody that could listen to this show and not get an incredible amount of value out of it this podcast interview! 06:01: Starting a Location Independent Business on Accident in 1995 07:40: Who is Alison Armstrong and Why is She On Our Podcast? 14:55: Tips on How the Sexes Can Listen To Each Other Better 29:49: The Five Layers of Protection Men Have About Criticism 41:15: Argument Resolution for Couples 52:10: Turning Alison’s Mission of Understanding Men Into a Business   Contact Info:   https://www.understandmen.com/

John Hall~ Founder Influencer & Co ~ Current Series ~ 100 Interviews with 100 Major Influencers   As we dive down this rabbit hole of influence we have noticed there's a couple different types of influencers that are out there. There is the influencer that everybody knows. This influencer is the one that everybody sees. The influencer that has a massive public image, you see them all over Instagram, Twitter, the media, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. These influencers are what you could call Spotlight Influencers. Then you have another type of influencer that isn’t so much in the spotlight. This influencer is a more of an underground influencer. These are people that have significant influence but decide to stay under the radar just a little bit. They still have their personal brands, they still get into media sources, but they are not the typical faces you might see when you think of ‘influencers’.  Today’s guest is a master at the second type of influence. John Hall has been called by Inc. magazine as “one of the most powerful people in media that you have never met!” He is Ernest and Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2016, he has been recognized as one of  Business Journal’s Top 100 Visionaries. The company he co-founded was ranked #239 on the Inc. 500 and #72 on the Forbes list of the most promising companies in America.  There's an art and science to this type of influence and on the show today John shares with us some of his best secrets to maintaining this influence.  We talk with John about how he developed the company Influence & Co, how it became the largest creator and distributor of expert content for major media outlets. We talk with John about building influence with his clients and some of the key takeaways that he learned from seven years of helping other businesses gain influence. John has some core values as an influencer, and it really boils down to simple things such as personal relationships, how he gauges every single personal acquaintance, and how he decides whether he's going to continue that personal relationship or let it go. Towards the end of the show we chat about two of his really awesome articles that I enjoyed reading, Perception of Influence vs. Actual Influence and how you can use both of those to grow your brand, as well as 7 Tips for Seeking Out and Seducing the Best Influencers to Love Your Brand..          02:43: Who is John Hall?      10:38: John on His Entrepreneurial Journey      13:30: John on Influence      15:41: John on Managing Your Ego      17:29: The Story Behind Influence & Co.      19:41: How John Obtained the Calendar.com Domain      22:18: John on How To Maintain Relationships      27:18: The Mission of Calendar.com      34:46: John on How He Uses His Influence to Grow Calendar.com      37:51: How To Get Started Pitching Your Writing To Major Platforms      40:56: Perception of Influence vs. Actual Influence      45:25: How To Identify Fake Influencers      48:09: John’s Favorite Influencers      53:05: How To Keep A Low Profile As An Influencer      57:05: John on Choosing Influence Over Money 01:01:50: John’s Favorite Conferences 01:03:27: A Sneak Peek into John's Book, "Top of Mind" 01:05:21: John on The Future of Influencer Marketing Contact Info:   http://www.johnhallspeaking.com/ https://marketinginsidergroup.com/strategy/12-keynote-sales-speakers-you-shouldnt-miss/ https://twitter.com/InfluenceandCo https://twitter.com/johnhall https://www.influenceandco.com/ https://www.inc.com/author/john-hall?cid=landermore John on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnhall/#28a7d6253845 Perception of Influence vs. Actual Influence: https://www.inc.com/john-hall/the-perception-of-influence-vs-actual-influence.html 7 Tips for Seeking Out and Seducing the Best Influencers for Your Brand https://www.inc.com/john-hall/7-tips-for-seeking-out-and-seducing-the-best-influencers-to-love-your-brand.html Calender.com: https://www.calendar.com/

Josh Muccio~ Founder of The Pitch Podcast ~ Current Series ~ 100 Interviews with 100 Major Influencers   Hey listeners, I got the exciting opportunity to hop on the mic with the founder and host of The Pitch Podcast, Josh Muccio.  The Pitch is one of the top podcasts out there today on business and entrepreneurship. The Pitch features entrepreneurs in need of funding and they get to “pitch” a panel of investors. Very much like Sharktank but, it is a real show where entrepreneurs pitch real investors for real money.    We got to talk with Josh for well over an hour about how he started The Pitch and kept growing it even after having fifty-five shows with zero investments. Finally, he got the first investment on the show and everything changed from that moment on. Not too long after, Gimlet Media acquired Josh’s podcast, which then eventually led to Spotify purchasing Gimlet for over $200 million. This has changed everything for Josh as a professional podcaster and creative entrepreneur.  Now, The Pitch has been named the best business podcast on startup life by Fortune magazine and it is one of the top rated business podcasts in the world!   On the show today we chat with Josh about how he got his start as an entrepreneur and podcaster, his first failing podcast and the idea to create The Pitch.
