Learning From Others

Today's guest was written up by his former employer for taking on a new client contract. So he took the contract himself, started his own business, and two years later, bought out the company that wrote him up, including hiring the very person that wrote him up.

Now, his company Torch AI has worked with Microsoft, GE, and the U.S. Department of Defense.

Not one but two multi-million dollar businesses is what today's guest brings to the table. Some entrepreneurs say never get emotionally connected to a business, but he says otherwise. Listen to hear why he'd never sell his one portfolio for even a 100x multiple.

Please welcome Jack Gibson.

Today's guest gave up a 20 year career with an S&P 100 multinational company when he realized that most of us love only 10% of our job. Another 10% we hate, and the other 80%? Eh. He wanted to pursue a career that he loved all of.

He's here today to share with you the value that storytelling has played in his career's success, and how it can help your business grow, too. Please welcome, Paul Smith.

Today's guest has over $35 million in sales and is here to teach you the importance of defining your audience. By better understanding who your ideal customer is, you can serve them better. And it all starts with what he calls, "mind mapping."

And one more thing. Before I share this episode, quick and funny story about recording with this guest.

Half way through our recording, a dog kept barking outside my office. I let it go as long as I could before I hit mute on my mic and yelled "Shut up!" But the guest paused and said "hello?" Why would he pause and say that if I hit mute?

After recording I was sending the files to my editor and listened to a few seconds and noticed my volume was unusually low. And then it clicked. "I think my computer dropped my studio mic." So I looked up the mic source and, sure enough, it stopped using my professional mic and started using the built in mic. So he heard everything, and is why my sound is lower quality this episode, which I apologize for.

But great episode as usual, and I look forward to you hearing this guest's great stories.

Please welcome Mitch Russo.

Today's guest talks about the importance of positioning your product. A great example is that he helps businesses increase their leads, but what he wouldn't tell you is that he does it with mind reading. Hear him explain how to maximize your leads and sales by knowing the right time to say what you do, how you do it, or when not to talk at all.
