After the recording of this interview, I got to learn Jered even more so than just talking about business. What I like about his approach to business is genuine, honest, and caring. He's a good guy and someone that you can trust. He's one of those guys where even if you don't have the best experience with One Pitch, he's going to do everything in his power to get it right. The good thing for Jered...

None of these approaches are revolutionary. In fact, you’re not going to make a million bucks from it. In fact, you may not even make $100. But it’s the process that will allow you to make the money you long for. Understanding your story Interviewing your customers Narrowing down that one field and one area Being organized Some of the highlights of this episode are: Links mentioned in interview: W...

I’ve know of Ryan for years now. I’ve quietly followed his journey alongside a man that I now have the ability to call a friend and that’s Scott Gerber. I interviewed Scott a few months ago. Make sure you go check that episode out. It will be in the show notes. But Scott and Ryan wrote a book together called SuperConnector: Stop Networking and Start Building Business Relationships that Matter The...

First and foremost, the minute that you’re able to commit yourself to living in the future, it’s absolutely liberating. It’s this weight being lifted off of your shoulder. You are no longer living life by your to do list and instead in control of it. So here are some of the things that I did in order to live more into the future: Invested my time in creating a content calendar Cut out entertainmen...

Mac and I met when Penji literally first started. He was one of our first customers believe it or not. He’s a great dude, love his entrepreneurial spirit. Some of the highlights of this episode are: When we go into the basics of Local SEO Mac shares a specific example about how Local SEO helped his phone repair business into a soon to be 5 location company. The most interesting thing for me was wh...

This episode is an accountability episode where I will share what I want to accomplish in my 30th year and as I accomplish each one, I will add onto this episode and add all of the bonus episodes affiliated with each goal, within this master list. I thought in great detail about what I wanted my 30th year to be. I ended on the theme and key phrase of Seeking Discomfort. If you’ve ever heard of a g...

Quick disclaimer: In the beginning of the episode the audio is slightly pitchy. The team fixed it as much as they possibly could, but it does get fixed about 10% into the conversation. I’ve personally known Alex for a few years now, we even went to the same high school together. We didn’t talk at all because he was older than me. However, I’ve come to respect Alex an F ton. The guy is smart and ah...

Some of the highlights of this episode are: When Craig mentions the importance of putting an idea out into the universe and how the universe somehow always makes it happen. He met Richard Branson, Paul McCartney, Ringo, George, and so many more incredible people all because he believed he could. He also believed that he could make a 1000 person company and he did that too. I loved the story behind...

Example 1: Every single time a person comes through Penji, we document where they came from. We then ask questions about their company, what they like, and most importantly why they chose Penji. We have this documented and the importance of this is that because we know our customers reasonings and logic behind why they chose Penji, we can, in a way, use their words against future customers. One of...

Some of the highlights of this episode are: When we talked about the words follow your passion and dream big. What they mean to Gregg is important and needs to be heard. In the middle of the podcast Gregg goes into a story about every day strategies that can help you accomplish more in your day. A loose quote he mentioned was something along the lines of constantly experiment, but never deviate to...

I later stormed out the house I used to call home and found myself driving back to my home without music, without sound, just me in my own thoughts. Thoughts were going through my head, anger ensued, and it came to a boiling point where I just began to break down. I couldn’t take this pressure anymore and I had to let it out. That moment for me, was probably the single greatest moment I’ve had wit...

Rachel’s company is very unique. It’s solving a real problem and is on the forefront in technology in the commuter cycling industry. It’s a great company that has great values.

After talking to Rich for over an hour talking our about business, life, faith, family. You really get an idea of what it takes to be a leader and why Virtua made the right decision to bring Rich on as their CEO over 20 years ago.  A few takeaways from the conversation is when we talked about how one day Rich had his head down while he was walking around the office. There wasn’t a particular reaso...

Now, it wasn’t crazy turbulence, but crazy enough to warrant a little bit of stress. During the brief moments of turbulence, there were a few shrieks from those in the cabin. Some of the people were visibly stressed out because of it. I saw a few people holding each other’s hands and even someone that was constantly looking around at others with a stress face on. I’m sure you know what this means....

Biggest takeaway for me was when Pia mentioned about how you need a showstopper. Which to Pia means that you are searching at around 10:30 at night and the person searching has 100 tabs open and then they stop to your website and think, holy crap. I need this.  Links mentioned in interview: Website: https://fingerprintmarketing.com Follow Us: Podcast Website:http://www.tbeshow.com Instagram: https...

Maybe it’s just me and my inner circle, but entrepreneurship is this “cool”, “hip” thing. It’s apparently cool to brag about the money you make, or the car you drive, or the vacation you are on.  We are obsessed with this life where we have to share every waking moment of our lives in order to be relevant. Many people also believe that in order to make any sort of impact on this Earth, you have to...

I’d like to share how lunch in revolutionized our startup: Lunch and learns. We’ve all heard of them and I am sure we all feel a certain way about lunch and learns. However we wanted to change the negative connotation between what a Lunch and Learn was. We take education incredibly serious here at Penji. So serious, that every week we have a lunch and learn about any particular topic we choose. Ea...

The reason why I wanted to interview Tom Kulzer specifically is because anytime you can have a conversation with somebody who bootstrapped a company to where aWeber’s growth is now to how it started, you have to take that person up on the conversation. So just the, the mindset is just completely different than that of like a corporate person or even an entrepreneur who has received funding. You ha...
