Ramit Sethi: Make More Money Feb 14, 2018

Show notes

No one has single-handedly given me better insight about the business side of art than the New York Times bestselling author, Ramit Sethi. He's a business savant, mindset master, habit king, and money maker.

Ramit is a regular on the show by now, and this episode is the first one we did together. It was such a hit and I still get so much positive feedback on how powerful his advice is that we had to share it with you on the podcast. Our conversation is packed full of both mindset shifts as well as tried and true tactical advice so you can earn more money. And we're not talking nickels more. We're talking 10x more. Give it a listen and give the techniques a try.

In this episode:

* If you can learn to understand your client, find solutions they need, and communicate in their language, price becomes a triviality. Show your future clients you've done the work by using "the briefcase technique."

* We talk about negotiating. If you're a freelancer, are you getting paid by the hour? We need to change that to value-based pay…

* Ramit shares how to, step by step, land your next pitch, freelance gig, double your rates, make more money. I've always felt very competent in this world, but Ramit's knowledge helped me drive a step change into my growth around the business of creativity.

Make Fear Your Friend (ft. Tim Ferriss, Brené Brown, Daymond John, Mel Robbins, Neil Strauss) Feb 07, 2018

Show notes

We all have fear. The question is: Is fear holding you back?

In today's show, we're mixing it up with my friends Tim Ferriss, Brené Brown, Daymond John, Mel Robbins, and Neil Strauss. We take a look back at how they think about fear, some strategies to deal with it, and how we can play through it.

In this episode,

Fear isn't all bad. There's a healthy level of fear, and Daymond John shares how it's helped motivate him in business.
My man Tim Ferriss talks what he does to deflate his biggest fears by imagining the "worst case scenario"
The best way to overcome your fear is by risking failure. Every time you choose to get in the arena and battle your fear, you grow stronger and more confident. As Neil Strauss says, "Uncertainty is a very confident place to be."

The Secret to Success No One Talks About Jan 24, 2018

Show notes

You're stuck. You've plateaued. You're making great work but nobody is seeing it and you're asking yourself "how do I get noticed?" How did the blowout successes of YouTube and Instagram get to their million+ followers? The answer: they created community.

Whether you're an individual, a hustler, an artist, a creator, an entrepreneur, or you represent a company, the fundamental principle is that making something great and promoting it is only 50% of the work, and that the other 50% (the community) is the part that makes the difference to ongoing and repeated success.

In today's episode:

What building a community means.
Why building a community is the path to your success.
How to build your community. (step by step instructions)

Tame Your Distracted Mind with Neuroscientist Adam Gazzaley Jan 17, 2018

Show notes

Adam Gazzaley is a neuroscientist, speaker, entrepreneur, photographer, author… He's a hyphen through and through. But what he's obsessed with these days is using technology to retrain and improve the use of our human brains, using it even to treat ADHD and other mental conditions.

Now more than ever before the world is moving at a pace faster than our 2 million year old brains can catch up. Adam says that as a species our brains aren't evolving quickly enough so we're experiencing a cognition crisis and the fallout of this crisis are attention deficit disorders. Through the application of treatments involving video games and mindfulness practices, we can not only be more productive in our life, but also feel more fulfilled in our lives. We talk about how to build our minds to increase our attention, expand our perception, improve our decision making, and better regulate our emotions.

In today's episode:

The brain is a muscle - it's trainable.
We may soon be entering a time where doctors prescribe digital medicine - video games as medication for ADHD. Even if you don't have ADHD or another attention deficit disorder, you can still benefit from training your brain.
You can use monotasking and mindfulness to fight anxiety and be more productive.
The world needs wisdom. Part of the wisdom is the development of our intuition and internal awareness. It's the foundation of how we approach all things and each other.

Austin Kleon: Why Great Artists Steal Jan 10, 2018

Show notes

Austin Kleon is a writer who draws. He's the best selling author of three illustrated books; Newspaper Blackout, Steal Like An Artist, and Show Your Work. Using his own words and borrowed (stolen) words alike, Austin articulates better than anyone how to find your own style and vision and then what to do with your work. He's been featured on NPR, Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and this is quickly becoming a regular here on cjLIVE.

This interview is from a few years ago, but I've been itching to share it again because it still packs such a heavy punch. Austin, the quote factory, Kleon seems to have a quote that perfectly encapsulates every topic we touch on. We go from tip to toe on the creative process; how to draw inspiration for your work, how to hone your style while growing an audience, and how to ship your work.

In today's episode:

Boring life = best art. Schedules, habits, daily routines make you more productive and more creative.
If you aren't sharing your work, you're missing out on half of the artistic experience. The person who experiences your art is just as important as you are in the process. Sharing your work is also a tool to attract more people who are interested in what you're interested in.
Side projects and hobbies are critical components in defining what your next best work will be.

Daymond John: Why Grit, Persistence, and Hard Work Matter Jan 03, 2018

Show notes

Daymond John is the CEO and founder of the iconic lifestyle brand, FUBU, which he started by selling handmade hats on the street and went on to have more than $6 billion in sales. You've seen him as the "snake in the grass" star on ABC's Shark Tank, which is currently in its tenth season of filming. He released his first NY Times best selling book, Power of Broke, in 2016, and is just about to drop his second, Rise and Grind.

This is Daymond's second time bringing his buttery soft hands and understated wisdom on the show and somehow we had even more fun than last time. Between jokes and anecdotes, Daymond drops some serious wisdom on how to keep your goals, habits, and pursuit of your dream life simple and effective.

In today's episode:

While writing Rise and Grind, Daymond found some killer recurring themes for living your most productive and best life. Most of them you've heard on the show before- meditation, importance of sleep, exercise- but he drops some new shared habits and techniques on prioritization and goal setting.
Entrepreneurship is simple. It's just figuring out each roadblock, each problem, one at a time and not getting comfortable with it.
If you can't answer why you want the success that you claim to, you probably won't have the fortitude to keep going when the going gets tough. There's power in defining exactly why you want the things you do, and revisiting your goals regularly to make sure you still want them.

7 Habits to Unlocking Your Big Dreams Dec 27, 2017

Show notes

December is generally a slow time- a lot of businesses shut down or slow down, people tend to spend time with family and loved ones, and it's traditionally a time that offers us time and space. I love using this time of year and the traits that it bears to its full advantage to slow down, strategize, and synthesize my intentions. Whether it's end of the year, beginning of a year, or the cusp of any time in your life, we unwrap the mindset of dreaming big, setting goals, and taking action.

In today's episode,

Declaring your intention for yourself and where you want to go should be one of your first steps in setting your goals. Verbalizing your intentions is a signal to the universe that you're ready to take the necessary action.
How to use a playbook to creatively attack your goals and turn your intentions into actions. I have 7 habits that I use to feed my creativity. Use my playbook or start your own.
Making your goals specific and quantifiable and then tracking them is incredibly important if you want to succeed in achieving them. There's power in specificity; "I want to get my business off the ground" vs "I want to have 4 new clients by March 1st, 2018".

On Stage with Gary Vaynerchuk at PhotoPlus Dec 20, 2017

Show notes

Gary Vaynerchuk and I gave a co-keynote in NYC at Photo Plus Expo. My background is as a creator turned entrepreneur, and Gary's a born entrepreneur and then realized that creativity was how he was going to take his business to the next level. Unsurprisingly, we both ended up in roughly the same space.

Instead of delivering a keynote that showed my own pictures or videos or stories like I've done at PhotoPlus in the past, we decided to co-host a Q&A and answer 3 audience members' biggest current struggles. I've been getting a ton of great feedback on the Q&A style keynotes I've been doing, so I'm pumped to share another one with you.

In today's episode,

Jason has a growing portrait business in Chicago, but seems to have plateaued on the money that he's able to make using his current strategies. We let him leave the stage only after offering a new blueprint for how to set his prices to make the kind of money he dreams of.
Niki has been hustling like crazy shooting volume to grow her brand, but now she's getting antsy not making money even though she's so busy. She seemed to know all the answers before asking, but needed to hear from us. Patience and the power of intention will take you as far as you want to go if you're willing to stay in the game long enough.
Richard has been grinding at his podcast for 11 years, trying to make enough money to support his craft. We find that with all the experience that he has, he's certainly got options, but hasn't gotten creative enough about his strategy.

How to Launch Your Next Project /w Product Hunt's Ryan Hoover Dec 13, 2017

Show notes

Ryan Hoover is most notably known as the founder of the website that brings you all the world's newest products and technologies, Product Hunt. He's also a writer and founder of his new VC firm, Weekend Fund which he admits he started because he's constantly chasing the warm fuzzy feelings he gets from helping other people. Some call him Silicon Valley's "resident nice guy" and it won't take you long to figure out why.

Ryan sees more product launches than perhaps anyone else in the world and knows how to do it well and how to do it poorly. He shares his insights for his path of launching (and continuing to launch) Product Hunt and what he notices in the 100's of launches that make it to his virtual doorstep, daily.

In today's episode,

If you want to start something and stick with it for the long haul, scratch your own itch. Product Hunt was built out of Ryan's own curiosity and drive to share new products with his friends.
Building community>building products. Successful products are rarely built in a dark dungeon and then released to the world, perfect and ready to go viral. Before you launch anything, it's crucial to build a community of people who care about what you're building and seek their feedback every step of the way.
You're one decision away from an entirely different life. We talk about how to resist the urge to take the easy route and make a path to living a life that you want to live.
