In this episode we discuss the parallels between sports broadcasting, business and life with an absolute #StadiumStatus broadcaster- the longtime voice of the Philadelphia Flyers Mr. Jim Jackson.

While Jim is famous for being the voice of the Flyers, he is also famous (to me) for being the narration voice of my audiobooks for the new updated 2nd edition of Stadium Status and also to the sequel Beyond Stadium Status. Jim is also the founder of Jim Jackson Broadcast Coaching Camps.

We often brainwash ourselves into thinking “our business is different” or “our industry is different.” Or that political campaigning must be different than entrepreneurship. This misconception couldn't be further from the truth. The fundamentals are fundamental in every industry and when you can create a system, you bring calm to chaos and clarity to confusion.

Whether you’re a politician or entrepreneur, you’re in the same business. You’re first and foremost in the relationship business, then the business of whatever field you work in. A campaign, whether it’s a political campaign, a crowdfunding campaign or a business-development campaign is essentially a system with a clearly defined outcome, starting point and finish line.

In this episode we break it all down with guest expert Paul Weaver, who is a career educator (college professor) and is running a campaign for local office in his town. 

NOTE: We do NOT discuss politics, merely the parallels between an election campaign and new business development. You'll IMMEDIATELY hear about numerous opportunities and strategies you previously hadn't considered.

A fun discussion with my personal trainer Kayla Rose. We talk a little about exercise and nutrition habits and then she answers the internet's weirdest questions which a number of my listeners sent in.

Live from his palatial estate in Lawrence Kansas I'm joined on the podcast by longtime friend and client Josh Nahm. Josh was recently named one of the Top 25 Junior Golf Coaches in the World. What can leaders and entrepreneurs learn from a golf instructor? A LOT. He's a solopreneur whose clients are among the most elite competitors in the world and they seek him out for solutions to take their game to the next level... LITERALLY.

We discuss golf as a metaphor for business, how to "productize your service" and as we usually do when we get together -- go off on a bunch of fun tangents. 

For example:

Comprehensive audio footage from the half-day group Mastermind Session Coach Bru hosted with 2019 National Championship coach Steve Colfer, recorded live at Cabrini University.

An in depth interview with Steve Colfer, Head Coach of the 2019 NCAA Champion Cabrini University Men's Lacrosse Team.

In 19 seasons at the helm of the Cabrini men’s lacrosse program, Colfer has mentored the Cavaliers to 19 consecutive conference championships and 18 straight appearances in the NCAA Tournament. Colfer is a 13-time Coach of the Year and owns a commanding 284-72 career record. His .798 winning percentage ranks among the top 10 coaches of all-time in Divisions I, II and III. 

In 2019, Colfer led the program to the University's first NCAA championship with a 16-12 victory over Amherst College.  And in the process they closed the season on a 15-game win streak, finishing the season 22-2, one win shy of the NCAA record for wins in a season.

We discuss this season the media called a "magical run" (which I predicted before the season even started) as well as:

Plus a whole lot more.

An in depth interview with perhaps the most controversial and widely misunderstood coach in America, Jason Brown. Jason is the star of the Netflix documentary series Last Chance U. Seasons #3 and #4 feature Jason and his team at Independence Community College.

We dive into how he is such a lightning rod and polarizing public figure, as well as WHY he's misunderstood. The conversation also turns to authenticity in a world of fakes as well as the fact that there's very little "reality" in reality TV.

We also discuss Jason's terrific new book Hate Me Now, Love Me Later as well as his time at Indy and the experience of being followed around by television cameras 24-7.

There are a lot of people I meet who I recommend write a book, most don't. Jason is one of the few who not only took the advice but also did it in record time.  You get to see a VERY different side of the man in his book, I recommend you get yourself a copy here: 

Interview with veteran, leadership expert, entrepreneur and author, Jon Rennie.

We discuss his new book I Have The Watch and the fabulous foreword written for the book which, in my humble but highly accurate opinion, is worth the purchase price in and of itself. :-)

A discussion on depression in entrepreneurship.  The interview is based on his groundbreaking article  #HustleHarder - A Study of Mental Health in the Entrepreneurship Community. Val is saying what millions of entrepreneurs are feeling but believe it's taboo to talk about.

We also expose the fraudulent online goo-roos who promote "Hustle Porn”. Which is using the power of social media to convince others to take risks not right for them, by pushing a lifestyle that isn’t just unreasonable, but downright dangerous for many people.
