350: Ryan Michler | How to Start a HIT Podcast Nov 11, 2019

Show notes

Ryan Michler is a military veteran and the founder of Order of Man, one of the largest men-focused podcast brands. In this episode of Build Your Network, you will find out how Ryan started a hit podcast, the importance of cultivating your skills, and how to motivate your children to do the same. Episode Highlights: Ryan was in a pre-engineering program and joined the military when he was 17. He studied for financial advising exams while he was in Iraq and worked as a financial and investing advisor for a decade. He didn’t join the military with the intention of making it a career, but just an experience to have. Ryan was raised by a single mom, with some stepdad figures coming in and out of the picture, and his mom has always been his biggest supporter. Ryan wants to be clear that even though his organization is called Order of Man and he works mainly with men, the things they talk about, of course apply to women too. He is keenly aware of the specific testosterone-driven physical energy men have that does biologically make them different from women, and is conscious of how to harness that in a healthy way instead of allowing it to fester into violence. College isn’t useful if you don’t need a degree to do the work you want to do. Ryan suggests experiential learning over college when possible. People tend to look at things as learning versus doing, which discourages lifelong learning. The word entrepreneur is tossed around now and promoted on social media as being able to work from a beach while drinking cocktails, but what that really does is promote laziness. No matter what you do, you have to be a marketer; even dating is like marketing yourself. People often take their reputation with other people more seriously than they take their reputation with themselves; you should care how you present yourself. Ryan began podcasting through recording short audio clips on CDs to use as pitches to potential financial advising clients, and he saw a much higher rate of return with the clients he had given those to. He launched the Order of Man podcast as a way to interview men who inspire him, so he’s essentially getting himself free coaching in exchange for making these interviews publicly available. Nothing about this is luck; Ryan did so much in order to be prepared and to recognize the opportunities he had when they arose. A huge benefit to podcasting for Ryan is the accountability to practice what he preaches. Ryan believes that knowing the right people is how you get the right information. The Random Round: a quick series of random questions to get to know Ryan. 3 Key Points: Learning and doing are not mutually exclusive. Everything you do requires having skills as a marketer. Luck and opportunity are worthless unless you are prepared to take advantage of them when they arise. Tweetable Quotes: “If a man can learn to step up & make himself more capable, he’s naturally going to be a more capable husband & father, he’s going to be engaged in the home, he’ll have emotional intelligence, intellect, the ability to lead & to earn an income.” –Ryan Michler “It’s difficult to face the reality of our own inadequacies, but if you want to grow, that’s exactly what you’ll do.” –Ryan Michler Resources Mentioned: Order of Man: https://www.orderofman.com/ (Website), https://www.facebook.com/orderofman (Facebook), https://twitter.com/orderofman (Twitter), https://www.instagram.com/orderofman/ (Instagram) Ryan Michler: https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)

349: Freestyle Friday | Three Tools Every Entrepreneur Needs Nov 08, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of Freestyle Friday, your host Travis Chappell shares three tools he believes that every entrepreneur needs. Episode Highlights: These tools are obviously useful for people who aren’t entrepreneurs too, but are necessities for people as busy as entrepreneurs. A wall charger that doubles as a backup battery pack by Anker saves you from having to carry a phone charger and a battery and a charger for the battery. A meditation app called Calm with noise-cancelling headphones has been a lifesaver for Travis as someone who works from home with two barking dogs and a baby. The soundscapes on Calm are helpful so he doesn’t get distracted by music he loves. Travis uses ClickFunnels to set up landing pages to collect emails and drive revenue. Key Points: These tools are useful for anyone but are especially useful to Travis as an entrepreneur. These help Travis create a good work from home environment and improve his business. Tweetable Quotes: “I never really send traffic to my website, I usually send traffic to a funnel. There’s one main focus, when you get there there’s one thing you’re supposed to do.” –Travis Chappell Resources Mentioned: Go to http://www.travischappell.com/funnels (www.travischappell.com/funnels) for a free two-week trial of ClickFunnels.

348: Topic | Becoming a Content King with Ben Hardy, Josh Elledge, and Patrick Bet-David Nov 06, 2019

Show notes

Ben Hardy, one of Medium’s top bloggers; Josh Elledge, a PR expert and founder of Up My Influence; and Patrick Bet-David, a YouTuber with over 1 million subscribers, share with your host, Travis Chappell, their thoughts on how to grow your audience and develop authentic connections with them. Episode Highlights: Ben Hardy The “sunk cost bias” says that once you invest money in something you stop seeing it as something you want to do and see it as something you are actively doing, which increases your commitment. Ben invested in himself to develop his skills as a blogger when he decided that’s what he wanted to do. Once he wrote some viral posts, other publications paid him a few hundred dollars to write for them, but Ben saw that as a short-term win for a long-term loss, as he wasn’t seeing consistent revenue or gain from his blog yet. It took writing consistently for over a year and investing $5-10,000 into it before he was able to launch a coaching business that earned him over $20,000 in a week. Just because you’re spending money, doesn’t mean you’re investing the money in the right things; actually use the skills you invest in learning and the relationships you invest in building. Josh Elledge Josh began by developing a system to cut your grocery bill in half and wanted to help people with it, but without money to pay for advertising he knew he had to rely on exposure. His strategy was to reach out to local media asking to develop content and do segments with them, which snowballed into over 2,000 media appearances to date and over $6 million in revenue. This spun off into a huge consultant business with other startups in his area, and he has now helped over 1,000 people become media celebrities. Patrick Bet-David Patrick has grown a business from a startup to over $100 million in value, so his consultancy comes from personal experience. He’s released videos about how to create viral content since creating a video that got over 31 million views in two months. Engagement and people caring about what you do is more important than viewer numbers alone. Patrick’s favorite content creators are the ones that meet his trifecta of criteria: T-E-A, or their own Theories, Experience, and Application. 3 Key Points: To get results, you have to both invest in yourself and apply what you learn. Ways of gaining free exposure are often more effective than paid marketing. Theories only become useful when you have experience applying them in real contexts. Tweetable Quotes: “If you don’t believe you deserve a lot in your life, you’re not gonna have a lot. And how do you upgrade that subconscious belief system? You start investing in yourself.” –Ben Hardy “We’re so grateful for the work that we get to do to help other people shorten the learning curve so that they can get out of that period where they’re just not being recognized for the good work that they’re doing.” –Josh Elledge “If you go out with the intention of only wanting to go viral, you will constantly be disappointed… Impact is more important than virality.” –Patrick Bet-David Resources Mentioned: Ben Hardy: https://medium.com/@benjaminhardy (Blog), https://benjaminhardy.com/ (Website), https://www.facebook.com/benjaminhardy88/ (Facebook), https://twitter.com/BenjaminPHardy (Twitter), https://www.instagram.com/benjamin_hardy_phd/ (Instagram), https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminhardy88/ (Linkedin) Josh Elledge: https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)

347: Shaan Patel | Shark Tank and Partnering with Mark Cuban Nov 04, 2019

Show notes

Shaan Patel is the founder of Prep Expert, an SAT prep company, which he began with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank. He attended USC on a full academic scholarship, continued on to get his MD, got an MBA from Yale, and is currently a dermatology resident, and did all this while founding and growing his business Prep Expert and publishing books. Episode Highlights: Shaan was raised in the motel his parents owned and ran in Las Vegas, surrounded by entrepreneurship. Shaan’s parents took education seriously and put him in magnet schools for math and science to compensate for the poor public schools in Las Vegas. His parents didn’t just pay lip service to the importance of education, but they practiced what they preached and led by example. Through entirely self-directed work, Shaan raised his SAT score from average to perfect, netting him a quarter million dollars in scholarship money. He knew right away that he wanted to write an SAT prep book, but stresses the importance of allowing yourself to enjoy your accomplishments before immediately moving onto the next big project. He pitched his book to every publisher he could think of and got 100 rejections. In response to the rejections, he took all the content he had created and developed it into an SAT prep course, hired web designers and SEO experts, and launched his course. He taught the course himself the first year and raised students’ scores by over 300 points. Shaan realized he couldn’t grow the business while teaching every class, especially while he was in medical school, so he trained other instructors and discovered his course still achieved the same excellent results so he knew he would be able to scale it. To support his efforts to scale up the business, he took a leave of absence from med school to get his MBA. Mc-Graw Hill publishers ended up offering him a book deal after seeing the growth of his company, and the test prep book was #1 on Amazon. He auditioned for Shark Tank while pursuing his MBA, pulling out his test prep book, which gave him the authority and clout he needed to advance to the next round of the show. The chances of getting to pitch in front of the sharks on Shark Tank is 0.02%, which also happens to be the percent chance of getting a perfect SAT score. You only see a couple minutes of the pitch, but he was in front of the sharks for an hour and a half getting grilled. Before Shark Tank, he had done about $1 million in sales; since Shark Tank, he’s done $20 million in sales. Shaan’s customers aren’t high school student, but the parents of the students. The most beneficial aspect wasn’t the funding Mark Cuban gave him, but it’s the connection to Mark Cuban in itself. Shaan and Mark Cuban co-authored a book about entrepreneurship. In addition to his business, Mark Cuban has also improved Shaan’s personal development and self-help brand by promoting his books. Shaan believes who you know is more important than what you know. Shaan is currently in the last year of his dermatology residency. Random Round: a quick series of random questions to get to know Shaan. 3 Key Points: Allow yourself time to enjoy your successes and self-reflect before immediately jumping to the next project. As an entrepreneur, your marketing is your product, so put the most energy into making your product the best it can be. The years of work you put in when you have no network are what grows your circle and leads to opportunities you probably couldn’t have predicted. Tweetable Quotes: “You should always take some time to enjoy and relax. I didn’t immediately go and be like, I’m going to start an SAT prep company as soon as I got that score. I had the idea to write an SAT prep book but I didn’t do that right away because I just worked my ass off.” –Shaan Patel “Your product is your...

346: Freestyle Friday | My $100,000 Decision Nov 01, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of Freestyle Friday, with your host Travis Chappell talks about what led him to his decision to spend $100,000 on one thing. Episode Highlights: Travis recently spent $100,000 on one thing, but it wasn’t on “stuff.” He spent the money on entrance into a Mastermind. He has spent about $170,000 on self-improvement for his business over the last couple of years. Travis asked himself what the alternative would have been had he not joined this Mastermind, and he couldn’t come up with any less expensive alternative. Because analysts predict another recession soon, Travis knows he’ll have to lean on his relationships. Value time over money. It will always take you longer to do something by yourself than it will if you find the right people to build relationships. Once he had his son, Travis realized it was the right time to take a big risk to make his dreams come true so he knows his son will never see him regret it. 3 Key Points: Ask yourself what the alternative would be if you didn’t take a risk you’re considering taking. Always value your time over your money. You should be willing to risk it all and put it all on the line for your goals and dreams. Tweetable Quotes: “People value money way too much. It’s amazing to me when I talk to people who have these big, grandiose dreams and goals for themselves and they don’t want to buy a $300 course because it’s too much money.” –Travis Chappell “You can always make money back. You can never make time back.” –Travis Chappell Resources Mentioned: Get your tickets for Travis new live event in Vegas at http://www.bynlive.com/ (www.bynlive.com) Shop easy, with smartly designed men’s clothes by Mack Weldon at http://www.macwheldon.com/ (www.macwheldon.com) and use promo code “travis” at checkout for 20% off Learn how to network at events at http://www.travischappell.com/yes (www.travischappell.com/yes) Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Join the Build Your Network Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/byncommunity/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fbynuniversity (byn.university) Leave a rating and review for the Build Your Network Podcast on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-your-network/id1268488944 (iTunes) Watch Travis’ free masterclass on how to build the network of your dreams at https://threenetworkingsecrets.com/webinar-registration30876682 (threenetworkingsecrets.com) Download the Himalaya App in the https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456 (App Store) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)

345: Topic | Unique Ways to Expand Your Network with Jeff Brown, Rob Sperry, and Francesca Moi Oct 30, 2019

Show notes

Jeff Brown, a podcaster and broadcasting professional; Rob Sperry, a network marketing educator; and Francesca Moi, the “queen of meetups” share with your host, Travis Chappell, their thoughts on unique ways to expand your network. Episode Highlights: Jeff Brown Launching his podcast was the smartest decision he ever made because it was while he was laid off from his last radio broadcasting job. Podcasting gave him global reach in a way radio broadcasting did not. He entered the podcasting space in 2012, before it was popular the way it is now. Podcasting was a good fit because of his radio background and because he loves how intimate the medium is. The fastest and most obvious way to monetize podcasting is through advertising. He’s able to make his living entirely from podcasting by mentoring other podcasters and turning it into a coaching business. With a podcast, you’re able to get in front of people for half an hour when they likely wouldn’t give you half an hour of their time if you asked them directly; they see it as using their time in a productive way and gives you a foundation to a relationship with that person. Rob Sperry Some people are givers and some people are “matchers,” who are always seeking to get something back in return for what they give. Being an “ambitious giver” starts with gaining a broader perspective and looking at it like a bank account—if you make regular “deposits” of good will and fewer “withdrawals,” eventually you’ll be able to make a much bigger withdrawal later. Build your proverbial ark before the storm comes. Making a financial investment in something is a motivation to make a greater commitment to that thing. Francesca Moi Francesca started a meetup group in all the major cities in Australia and in four months it grew to 12,000 members. People want a magic solution to getting an audience for their speaking engagements, for example, but the answer is simply to “shut up and build your network.” If you start a meetup, focus it around networking and invite an expert to speak to the group to add value. To monetize meetups, which aren’t inherently revenue-driven, Francesca built trust through her online presence and eventually turned that into a coaching business. She gained momentum for her meetups by announcing it to the current meetup participants in advance, so that by the time it’s announced publicly, there are already attendees. 3 Key Points: Podcasting itself can be leveraged as an unexpected networking tool. Your best insurance policy is your network. You have to get to know your clients in order to effectively market to them and add value to their experience. Tweetable Quotes: “I don’t know that there is a more intimate form our content can take than when we create audio content. And I think when leveraged well, it’s one of the fastest ways to build an audience and one of the fastest ways to build trust with that audience.” –Jeff Brown “I was always taught, go find someone who has what you want and listen to them and do what they tell you to do.” –Rob Sperry “The amount of people that come to me and say I don’t know what my clients want from me, and I say that’s because you haven’t been in front of them, you haven’t hung out with them, you haven’t had a dinner with your clients. Plan a dinner and ask them questions.” –Francesca Moi Resources Mentioned: https://www.amazon.com.au/Follow-Me-Shutttupp-build-network-ebook/dp/B01DLINAJU (Follow Me!: Shutttupp and build your network) by Francesca Moi Get podcast coaching from Travis at http://www.travischappell.com/apply (www.travischappell.com/apply).

344: Aaron Hale | Blind AND Deaf?? How to Push Through Obstacles Oct 28, 2019

Show notes

Aaron Hale is a chef and 14-year military veteran who became blind after surviving an explosion in Afghanistan and became deaf a few years later. He founded a chocolate business, E.O.D., with his wife McKayla Hale. In this episode of Build Your Network, you will find out how Aaron overcame the odds and created a successful business and expanded his network beyond just selling baked goods to family and friends. Episode Highlights: Aaron grew up in a fairly artistic family, and his form of artistry was cooking. He joined the military after getting a Business degree because he didn’t have any clear direction and it was the most logical next step for him. His first duty post was in Italy for four years, and in his off-duty hours he really immersed himself in the culture and cuisine. By 2004, the Army needed additional people from the Navy and other branches to volunteer, and Aaron enlisted as part of the Explosive Ordinance Disposal team. In doing an IED check while on duty in Afghanistan, a secondary device detonated and damaged his eyes beyond repair, entirely blinding him. His military training is what enabled him to maintain a healthy mindset and kept him from falling down a hole of despair. Aaron decided to use the skills he learned in rehabilitation to occupy his mind and stay fit by mountain climbing and running marathons. Right before he was set to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Aaron contracted bacterial meningitis through the cracks in his skull he sustained from the IED explosion, and the infection rendered him completely deaf. Aaron describes the six months he spent completely blind and deaf, before getting his cochlear implants, as incredibly lonely. He decided to make the most of the time by throwing a massive Thanksgiving feast, so he started baking and it became his therapy. From that point, people kept asking him if he could bake for them and started to pay him for it, so it grew into his business named E.O.D., or Extraordinary Delights. Aaron learned from the Stockdale Paradox, which says that a firm grasp on reality is more effective in surviving trauma than blind hope is; Aaron had to accept that he may never hear again and that the cochlear implants might not work in order to get through the experience, rather than putting all his energy into hoping they would. There was more blast damage to his inner ear than a cochlear implant could compensate for, so now everything he hears sounds fully digital because all the sound is coming from the implant’s magnet signal. Aaron used his speaking engagements and climbing adventures to grow his network beyond just selling baked goods to family and friends. Aaron sees who you know and what you know as a yin and yang, as a symbiotic relationship. Aaron sees running his business and becoming a parent as the next challenges for him and as the things that are fulfilling his purpose. The Random Round 3 Key Points: A healthy mindset is what can carry you through any difficult situation. You can find your purpose and direction through continually challenging yourself. Adding value to others’ lives and taking away their pain can diminish your own pain, and that is what running his business has done for Aaron. Tweetable Quotes: “I was finding success through challenging myself. It wasn’t despite struggle, it was because of the struggle. I was growing stronger, more confident, I was growing my network, I was making more friends, and I was adding value to other people’s lives.” –Aaron Hale “Our pain actually diminishes when we take on others’ pain.” –Aaron Hale Resources Mentioned: https://eodfudge.com/ (www.eodfudge.com/) EOD Fudge https://twitter.com/eodconfections (Twitter) Aaron Hale’s

341: Freestyle Friday | How to Talk to High Level People Oct 18, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of Freestyle Friday, your host Travis Chappell shares tips for making the most of a first impression and how to carry that through to build a real relationship. Episode Highlights: Once you meet a high-level person, you need to make use of that connection and capitalize on the good impression you made. Travis shares how he learned from leaving a bad first impression with a high performer millionaire in his industry. Talk across to people, not up to them. Respect people’s time. Don’t ask the first questions that occur to you. Look for ways to add value for the other person. 3 Key Points: Talk across to people, because talking up to them will subconsciously position you as being at a lower level.
