    "If you're planning on just shutting it down or letting it die a slow and profitable death, then cool. But if it's longer than that, you either have to get on the bus or face being put out of business."

    The Importance Of Your Personal Brand Jul 08, 2025
    Show notes

    Join Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss on another exciting episode of "The Business Lunch Podcast." In this installment, they follow up on their recent conversation about the book launch of Roland's "Business Wealth Without Risk" with Jay Abraham.

    Surprisingly, neither "Business Wealth Without Risk" nor Ryan's book, "Get Scalable," were co-authored by both of them, and they discuss why that is. They delve into the unique approach they're taking with their book launches, which is focused on generating deal flow and carving out a distinct space in the business operating system world.

    Discover how they're intentionally avoiding the typical book launch strategy and aiming to engineer word-of-mouth referability for their books.

    Don't miss this episode, where Roland and Ryan provide insights into their innovative book launch tactics and strategies.

    HIGHLIGHTS

    "The goal of the book is not to write a book that gets bought. It's not to write a book that gets read. It's to write a book that gets referred."

    "You can eat your cake and have it too because all the things that you said help all of that experience of having an actual business relationship really lets you see a lot more about somebody."

    "It's not given away for free because free typically is valued at nothing or less by people. The price people pay, right? Who don't pay for it."

    Don't Get Killed by the Hype - AI Gadgets Failing to Deliver Jul 01, 2025
    Show notes

    Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch, Ryan Deiss and I dissect the recent hype surrounding two new AI-powered gadgets - the Humane AI pen and the Rabbit. Both products promised to revolutionize our lives with features like real-time feedback and enhanced productivity. However, reviews have been scathing, exposing the devices as clunky, unhelpful, and ultimately a letdown. We delve into the challenges of launching new hardware products in a crowded market and explore the dangers of overpromising and failing to deliver, highlighting how a great marketing campaign can backfire if the product itself isn't exceptional.

    Highlights:

    "The people are not stupid long term, we're all a little stupid short term from time to time."


    "It's a game of replacement, not enhancement."


    "The better you are at marketing, the better your product better be.โ€

    The Ethics of Outsourcing Yourself Jun 27, 2025

    Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch! In this episode, Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss tackle the controversial topic of 'shadow standards' in the workplace. They explore the ethics and implications of employees outsourcing their own jobs to other workers, often in other countries, without their employers' knowledge. The discussion touches on the legal, ethical, and practical ramifications of this growing trend and offers insights into how both employees and employers can navigate this complex landscape.

    Highlights:

    "Employees are outsourcing their jobs, effectively becoming mini-agencies themselves."

    "Is it deceptive if you wouldnโ€™t proudly announce what youโ€™re doing?"


    "Good employers will always support efficiency and innovative ideas."


    "Outsourcing your job without transparency is setting yourself up for liability."
