The Most Important Word - Audio Podcast

[Bonus Track] Part of The Equation

There is something that is rarely talked about in the business world and I want to start building more attention for it.

That thing is self-awareness.

I’m upset that the narrative these days is that everyone needs to be number one, own a company, be in charge. A lot of people are going to lose that way.

Self-awareness allows people to recognize what things they do best so they can then go hard on those aspects of their life. It also helps you accept your weaknesses.

What works for one person doesn’t work for everyone. I want people to learn to be at peace with themselves, to understand what they can offer, because everyone’s got something. The key, however, is learning how to find it.

Self-awareness can help you do that.

Self-awareness is being able to accept your weaknesses while focusing all of your attention on your strengths.

The moment you decide to accept your shortcomings and bet entirely on your strengths, things will change. Trust me.

The Importance of Self-Awareness

Hard Work & Patience

This little clip from Dailyvee can be massively important to all of you that don't necessarily want to dive all in on your own company - my man Pat Givens that I interview here &amp; talk with grew his own department within Vaynermedia, called VaynerSmart dedicated to Alexa, IoT and similar, and it's quickly become one of the hottest spaces. He's a one man team that's bringing immense value to the org. Let me know what you think ;)

Thoughts On Being An Intrepreneur Within An Organization

Bartering has been around since the beginning of mankind, but that doesn't mean it's outdated - it's still a massively powerful way to trade goods and services, getting rid of what you don't want for what you do - one way or another. Hope you really enjoy these clips pushing my belief and dedication to the bartering system ;)

The Top 5 Reasons Bartering Is So Valuable Right Now

Even though this interview is a few years old, the points we touch on mean that it's still massively accurate. First off, social listening and discovering where you can jump into conversations is just as important as blasting out content - it helps let you know what kind of content to be producing, gives you tons of info about your customer base and influences where your target demo should be. Twitter is a HUGELY important platform for this. I also touch on being first on emerging platforms, and why it's almost always in your best interest to get on them as fast as possible. Hope this one brings you a ton of value !!

An Interview With INC. | 3 Ways To Succeed On Social Media

This meeting I had with a popular San Diego dog trainer, Kaelin Munkelwitz, founder of AllThingsPup perfectly embodies why giving away your content for free ultimately drives a business in the long run. By beginning to produce content and information, she became a trusted resource in her space, driving more clients to send inquired to her. If you're having some trouble wrapping your head around giving away content for long term growth, this is the one to listen to &lt;3

Why Giving Away Content Works So Well | A Meeting With AllThingsPup

It's all about finding a way to tell your story while finding a way to respect your users' time. Just remember that this time around it's more about CONTEXT than CONTENT. This can boil down to creating platform specific content, or simply respecting and engaging the way that a specific platform requires. This is one of my favorite keynotes, hope you enjoy ;)&nbsp;

Stop Storytelling Like It's 2007 | A Keynote: 99U

There's some fire here in this amazing AGV with my man Richard Rawlings from Discovery's Gas Monkey Garage. This was an all time show, and the questions were right on point. We talked creativity in the workplace, how we keep company culture in a positive light, and how to provide value to the influencers or celebrities that you look up to. Seriously fire questions here guys, hope you love it!&nbsp;

This rant is for everyone, whether they're 26 or 60. Maybe you weren't born in a time that it was logistically possible to gain traction on your entrepreneurial tendencies, or you simply have been positioned in a way that doesn't set you up for success. No matter what stage of life you're in there's time to turn around and refocus to be doing exactly what you want to be. Everyone should give this a listen, hope you love it !!

A Mashup: 5 FIRE Clips From September | Russ, Tony Conrad, Nicholas Megalis & the Atlanta Keynote

So psyched to be able to share these quick chats around my thoughts on business that I have, chatting with my team writer Colin Campbell. Here I expand on my thoughts behind storytelling on social media - why it's key to be genuine and what good storytelling and engagement leads to, touching on where the best places to spend ad money on, focusing on ROI.

A Rant: How To Tell A Story On Social Media

If you're still looking at Monday morning as a chore, and dreading it on Sunday night, your shit is BROKEN. These clips will help push you over that barrier and start getting you fired up for Monday, and to stop living for Friday. Get ready, because here it comes :)

A Rant To Get Your Monday Morning Fired Up

This was a fire keynote that I gave in Amsterdam a few weeks back to the Bookings.com crowd. One of the main themes here is why you should always keep Dying on your own sword in the back of your mind. As long as you keep this theme constantly in mind, and are doing this for yourself it keeps you at the top of the crowd. Another big theme here is practicality. If you're too far behind on emerging platforms and networks, you're not practical because you're not taking advantage of the massive potential there is to grab onto new audiences. I loved this one, and I hope you do too ;)

A Private Keynote: Bookings.com In Amsterdam

I've been throwing some serious right hooks lately, which is the opposite of what I've been doing. Between the wine clubs, the Q&amp;A conference, and few others I've been demonstrating the hunger in my nature for sales. This is something that a lot of you need to hear from me, that it's completely fine to throw that right hook &amp; sell - especially if you believe in what you're selling. If you have no faith in the product or service on your end, why would somebody else - which is where accountability kicks in. Hope you take this to heart and learn from it &lt;3

A Rant: Selling & Accountability

This clip is exactly what I mean when I say that audio and voice are MASSIVE time savers. When I wanted to send a pretty lengthy message out to my team to debate our YouTube strategy, I could have typed it out on my phone, but instead utilized the voice recording function to say what I wanted to say. It may not seem like a lot of time saved, but once you start compiling and compounding these choices, it adds up and you can get so much more done &lt;3
