Episode 220 - How Kindness Can Change Your World

Companies now are spending millions of dollars&nbsp;a month&nbsp;on marketing.&nbsp;Last year, digital spending overtook TV, radio, and print. In this fast-paced world, people prefer watching a video than reading an article or an instruction manual, so in order to keep up with your competition, you have to get creative.&nbsp; Video really makes it more interesting and attracts more attention. The good news is, you don’t need to have high-end production equipment – you can make really good video ads on your iPhone – but instead, it’s more important to invest in great copywriters to catch people’s eyes.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In today’s episode,&nbsp;I talk with Travis about the future of ad-making and where&nbsp;it&nbsp;is best to put your marketing money in, for a profitable ROI.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Travis Chambers is the founder of Chamber Media, a 30 person growth and video agency that tripled the revenue of four multi-million dollar D2C companies in the last 2 years, using&nbsp;quantitative creative, producing and testing modular video content and using it to scale revenue through social ad&nbsp;spends. He’s a Forbes 30 Under 30 lister, has been featured in Inc., Entrepreneur, and AdWeek, and has been a keynote speaker at Google Growth Summit, VidCon, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So, listen to&nbsp;Episode 219&nbsp;of&nbsp;Becoming Your Best,&nbsp;to learn the tricks you can use to figure out what kind of ads you can create for your company, regardless of your inventory runway.&nbsp;&nbsp; Questions I ask:&nbsp;<ul><li>How are companies using social video ads to grow?

(17:44)&nbsp;</li><li>What does the future hold for social video ads? Where do you see this going? (19:22)&nbsp;</li><li>How do you approach the creative process and figure out what ads to make? (20:42)&nbsp;</li><li>What are the social media platforms that companies should focus their attention on? (25:08)&nbsp;</li></ul> In this episode, you will learn:&nbsp;<ul><li>Travis’ background and some of the turning points that got him to where he is today. (01:46)&nbsp;</li><li>Two examples of companies that significantly increased their revenues through video ads. (07:46)&nbsp;</li><li>How smaller companies should approach the video ads field. (08:44)&nbsp;</li><li>The reason&nbsp;why&nbsp;it’s more important to invest in a good writer than into&nbsp;production equipment.

Episode 219 - Riding Social Videos and Media to the Future

People have forgotten how to ask questions and one of the reasons is the online culture that has been spoiling us to have things set and catered to our exact preference. Everything needs to look the way we want it to look, and therefore, if people don’t fit in that perfect cookie-cutter model that we have designed – our comfort zone – then they’re a threat.&nbsp; That is not true! Even if there is a universal truth out there, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t different ways of perceiving it.&nbsp; In today’s episode,&nbsp;my guest is the first legally deaf NBA player – Lance Allred. Since he retired from basketball,&nbsp;he&nbsp;became a speaker, trying to inspire people and encouraging them to&nbsp;achieve&nbsp;their goals, by&nbsp;following&nbsp;the principles of perseverance.&nbsp; Lance Allred is an expert on Leadership, Perseverance,&nbsp;and Grit. Legally deaf, at 80% hearing loss from RH complications at birth, he was born and raised in a polygamist commune until the age of 13. He is the author of four books - with the fifth, “The New Alpha Male” coming on soon – and the&nbsp;TEDx&nbsp;Star of “What is Your Polygamy?”&nbsp; So, listen to&nbsp;Episode 218&nbsp;of&nbsp;Becoming Your Best,&nbsp;to learn about Lance’s background and how he ended up teaching people how to communicate – the one thing that&nbsp;everyone&nbsp;takes&nbsp;for granted, even though he spent 15 years in speech therapy. We also discuss the principles of perseverance and how you can apply them in your life.&nbsp; Questions I ask:&nbsp;<ul><li>Lance,&nbsp;please&nbsp;share a little bit of your background and how you got to where you are today, so that we can get a little more personal feel for who you are.&nbsp;(02:36)&nbsp;</li><li>Let’s talk about your new book, “The New Alpha Male” and tell us what that’s about and what the intended objective of that is. (13:40)&nbsp;</li><li>Do you have a website or&nbsp;a&nbsp;place that they can go to get that book, Lance?&nbsp;(30:00)&nbsp;</li></ul> In this episode, you will learn:&nbsp;<ul><li>What is cult mentality and religion, according to&nbsp;Lance.&nbsp;(03:52)&nbsp;</li><li>The backbone of Lance’s message as a speaker. (06:36)&nbsp;</li><li>A suggestive analogy between culture and the different types of computer software. (09:31)&nbsp;</li><li>The question you should ask yourself, to figure out if you have integrity. (16:10)&nbsp;</li><li>One of the mistakes most entrepreneurs do, regarding their employees.

Episode 209 - The 12 Principles of a Highly Successful Marriage or Relationship

Are you truly listening to what other people say when you’re having a conversation?&nbsp;&nbsp;Whether we don’t understand a subject because we’re not paying attention, or we misunderstand a situation because we already think we have the answer, it all comes down to one thing. In order to be efficient communicators, we first have to master the ability to listen.&nbsp;&nbsp;A lot of people think listening is about the listener making sense of what the speaker is saying, and although that’s useful, the true conversation happens when you are helping the speaker make sense of what they mean and helping them understand what they say.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In today’s episode,&nbsp;Oscar and I discuss the key ingredient of being an effective communicator. He shares with us&nbsp;powerful techniques that we can use in our relationship with literally everyone, from our co-workers, clients, and friends, to our family, spouse or children.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oscar&nbsp;Trimboli&nbsp;has coached, mentored and advised people in a wide range of roles, from founders, CEO, CFO, COO, CMO, CTO and a variety of other leadership roles in financial services, technology, professional services, education,&nbsp;and not for profits. He has been asked to speak to leadership teams and their organizations about the importance of clarity to create change, how to embrace the digital economy and the role values play in the achievement of your purpose.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So, listen to&nbsp;Episode 208&nbsp;of&nbsp;Becoming Your Best, to gain a different perspective on mastering the power of being silent and deep listening.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Questions I ask:&nbsp;<ul><li>What is deep listening? (03:41)&nbsp;</li><li>What's the difference between a good listener and a great listener?&nbsp;(11:00)&nbsp;</li><li>Explain what the four villains of listening are, and what's that other side of the coin?&nbsp;(18:58)&nbsp;</li><li>For someone listening to this right now, whether they're at home, whether they're in the workforce, wherever they're at, what's one thing that across the board you say, "Do this today, and it will have a big impact in your life."&nbsp;(26:54)&nbsp;</li><li>For those who would like to find out more about you, Oscar, how could they find you?&nbsp;(29:05)&nbsp;</li></ul> In this episode, you will learn:&nbsp;<ul><li>The difference between active listening and deep listening.
