“To persuade, speak not to argument. Speak to self-interest.” - Ben Franklin “In terms of thought leadership you have to differentiate yourself from the herd, from what most people are doing in a standard and conventional way. And then you get the chance to be seen as someone who’s leading on that topic or in a new direction on that topic.” - Dr. Robert Cialdini Dr. Robert Cialdini was a researcher, academic, scholar, and teacher when he realised that it wasn’t enough to live in a world of seemingly artificially constructed studies on human behaviour. So he differentiated himself from the confines of standard research and became a thought leader who blew open the doors of his research for the masses who were genuinely interested and could benefit from it. In an effort to discover more about persuasion, Dr. Cialdini began covertly educating himself within the training programs of several industries that rely heavily on persuasion. He discovered seven universal principles that can be harnessed for success. This

While travelling in Europe with his wife for six months, Tim Leatherman made a practical note to modify his pocket knife to include a pair of pliers. Later, he saw the potential in that idea and started on the path to becoming the world’s first and, to this day, the world’s leading multitool producer. It took a few years to get things started and involved tremendous support from his wife and eventually his business partner, Steve Berliner, who helped Tim through the final stages of bringing Leatherman Knives to the market. In their first successful year, they hoped to sell 4000 knives but when Cabela’s, then only a mail order catalogue, featured their knives, they quickly sold 30,000 and attracted a lot of attention from L.L. Bean, Sharper Image, Neiman Marcus, and Eddie Bauer. Ten years later they sold 1 Million knives in one year. Leatherman Knives was founded and remains in Tim’s home city, Portland, Oregon. They pride themselves on being almost entirely owned and operated in the United States. Today, Tim

“If you’ve taken the time to write something, it’s probably going to be something that there’s a market for, that somebody’s going to want to read. Otherwise you wouldn’t have been inspired to write it. It’s not as if you’re just doodling for your own pleasure. The question is how big is the market and is someone able to discern the size of that market.” An author knows the immense satisfaction that comes from connecting with thousands or millions of people through written word. Peter Kirsanow is an author who prides himself in upholding the traditional values that he believes make the United States great and powerful. He's a true patriot, an author of thriller novels, a lawyer, and he’s the longest standing US Civil Rights Commission member. His experience as lawyer and the fact that many of his family members serve in the military, air force, and navy allows him to depict reality very accurately and has attracted attention from navy SEALS who’ve contacted Peter directly to say as much.

“For the Epoch Times and NTD, what we have been doing, is although we keep an eye on the profit, we always follow the heart. That’s when you know you’re doing the right thing. And that’s when you know that when you actually go through difficulties, you’ll always have a likeminded team to fight with you and go through the difficulty with you, and there will be light at the end of the tunnel….That’s our best business model, because if we can speak truth, we can always find the audience. And we have peace of mind in our hearts an the business is solid because of that.” Heart leadership is the most powerful and sustainable business model. The Epoch Times and NTDTV (New Tang Dynasty Television) are setting a prime example of how leading your business with heart not only changes the world, but also creates a solid foundation for your business and profits to grow.

“Nobody had money, nobody could pay for rent. The stock market fell by 90%. It was insane. But, something happened. The 30 most important stocks in America… almost half of them started during the recession! Why? Is it just a coincidence? I doubt it.” “In the last 12 months, more opportunities to be of service to people have become available than ever before.” The great depression has already shown us that opportunities are born in crisis. When times are normal, everything stays the same. But when things go through a giant change, everything shifts. Giant holes open up and entrepreneurs can step up to be of service by filling those holes. During these recent times of worldwide crisis, one service that has had a major impact on the entrepreneur's ability to grow their business is podcasting. Podcasting statistics have exploded since the beginning of the pandemic and lockdown. The growth is astounding. But entrepreneurs don’t have to become podcasters themselves, they can focus on becoming an expert podcast gues

“If you start thinking in a way that makes you a victim, you’re dead. But if you start thinking, 'great fortunes are made during times of recession and depression, during times of chaos and during times of crisis', you’ve come alive. And the opportunities for you and your business have come alive.” We’re in a recession but it’s up to you whether you see that as a barrier to your business or an opportunity for growth. History has given us many examples of companies that were made by crisis. People need help during hard times and that’s your opportunity to be of service.

“…empower impact driven entrepreneurs to grow successful businesses with excellence and change the world.” “From the beginning we believed in people. Specifically in partnership. We wanted to share the wins, we wanted to share the growth and equity and value overtime with individuals as we grew.” Taylor Blom started as a real estate photographer. His business at the time, Front Door Photos, hit a pain point for his clients; to publish attractive listings quickly, faster than anyone else, working directly with local talent. The business model worked well and he decided to expand into other markets under the name ‘Next Door Photos’ which has been growing for the last seven years. He chose local market managers over franchising to take advantage of the benefits of partnership and being able to tap into the communities Next Door Photos serves. Today, Next Door Photos has 50 local owner/operators and serves almost 70 markets in the US and Canada. Next Door Photos is also an organization to that gives meaningful wo

That moment will come and you’ll realize that because I embraced and learned everything that I could 5 years ago… 10 years ago... it’s now a tool in my tool box, it’s part of me.” Marty Strong became a navy SEAL in his late teens but it was more by chance than by planning. But that chance set him up to development the mindset and skills he’d need to succeed well beyond his navy SEAL days.

He’s learned that every step in your career is preparing you for the next step, and you often have no idea what that will be. Exp

“There was a time when they said a man’s word was his bond. That if you gave your word, that was it, it would be kept.

“I personally derive enormous satisfaction from passing essentially what is my life’s work to people who are serious about making their lives better.” “It doesn’t matter how brilliant you are. If you can’t transmit those ideas, it’s like winking at a girl in the dark. Nothing happens. - Warren Buffet Effective communication will dramatically improve your relationship with clients, prospects, friends, and family. As today’s guest said, “Everything worth having begins with communication”. But of course many people aren’t confident in their commutation skills.
