In this episode of the DREAM. THINK. DO. podcast, I will be talking to one of the top 30 most influential thought leaders in business, Bob Burg, to share his insights on sales and leadership! Listen To The Podcast:        Is there a difference between taking leadership and giving leadership? And if so, does it really matter? My guest, Bob Burg, would answer an emphatic “Yes!” to both of those questions. Bob is a sought-after speaker at sales and leadership conferences around the globe. He’s shared the speaker platform with top business leaders, famous broadcast personalities, and even former U.S. presidents. On top of that, the American Management Association named Bob one of the top 30 most influential thought leaders in business! And then there are the books he’s authored, which have sold well over a million copies! My personal favorite is the Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea, a book in parable form, which he co-wrote with John David Mann. Truth be told, that book actually hel

In this episode of the DREAM. THINK. DO. podcast, learn how to overcome your fear of Public Speaking. Listen To The Podcast:        I make my living talking. In other words, I do a lot—and I mean a lot—of public speaking. Now, I know as soon as I utter the phrase “public speaking,” most people get a certain feeling—and it’s not a good one. In fact, surveys have consistently shown that public speaking is the #1 fear! It surpasses the fear of death—and even… the fear of clowns! (YIKES!) I also know, however, that many people actually want (or need) to do more public speaking, but their fears are holding them back. I understand. Heck, I still get hit with all those feelings. A fear of letting the audience down. A fear of making a mistake in front of a large group of people. A fear of tripping and falling flat on my face! Yup… I get hit with all the fears, too. Fortunately, I’ve developed a useful set of simple tools to deal with them. And… today I want to give some of those tools to YOU! I’m going

In this episode of the DREAM. THINK. DO. podcast, my guest Brent Underwood shares his cool story from finance to his interest in hostels.

And now you get to hear his cool story—and his great insights! Brent Underwood is a partner at the creative advisory firm "Brass Check," where he spearheads marketing campaigns for New York Times best-selling books and helps musicians, including Grammy winners, establish their media narratives.

Years ago, Brent developed a pretty intense interest in hostels—you know, those low-budget lodges people stay at when traveling abroad. He eventually channeled this passion into running a successful hostel in Brooklyn. When he moved to Austin, Texas, a couple of years

Listen To The Podcast:        Get ready to hear from a true master of his craft! My guest today, Emmy-and Oscar-winning special effects artist Howard Berger, has been playing in the world of film and TV for 35 years. I’d say “working” but that doesn’t do justice to the nature of Howard’s incredible career. Encouraged by amazing parents, he took a childhood passion for monster movies and turned it into a profession—basically starting the day after graduating high school. In 1988, he and fellow artist Greg Nicotero founded the KNB EFX Group. Since then… they’ve set the gold standard for special effects make-up in Hollywood. The company has brought its seemingly inexhaustible creativity to everything from "Dances with Wolves" and "Pulp Fiction" to "The Chronicles of Narnia" films and the wildly successful AMC series "The Walking Dead."

In this episode of the DREAM.THINK.DO. podcast, we'll talk about the Elevator Pitch and how to make it work. Listen To The Podcast:          So . . . it’s your big moment: the elevator pitch! You know, that little speech you’re supposed to have memorized when someone asks, “So what do you do?” To be honest, I have a love-hate relationship with the concept. Maybe, like you, I’ve seen it done poorly – really poorly. The problem is this: Even if your pitch is clear and eloquent, when people sense you’ve gone all salesy, they zone out. In other words, walls go up, eyes glaze over, and a chance to really connect goes down the drain. So how do you seize an elevator pitch opportunity in an authentic way? How do you create engagement and open up a lively and real conversation? Today on Dream. Think. Do., we’re gonna rethink the whole elevator pitch notion. Actually, we’re gonna improve upon it — big time. In this episode, you will . . . Hear lots of alternatives to the traditional (yawn) pitch Learn
