07 Nov 2022Mindset – Rethinking Imposter Syndrome With Dean Leak + Joel Stone00:46:15

In this episode, Joel sits down with the performance specialist Dean Link to talk about re-thinking imposter syndrome. Dean has spent most of his career helping elite athletes to rewire their brains. Before moving into a leadership role working with coaches, sports scientists and administrators helping them to create an environment people could thrive in. He is now applying that knowledge to the business world.

They discuss why imposter syndrome is actually a quite natural way to feel. But it is a feeling which can easily overwhelm us. In the episode, Dean explains how you can stop that from happening and harness it in a way that helps you to learn. To turn yourself into a more flexible person who can adapt and thrive regardless of what life throws at you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • If you feel that you need to be right all the time you will always feel like an imposter. Nobody can know everything.
  • It is good to be reminded that there are gaps in your knowledge, but you must not let the feeling of imposter syndrome overwhelm and stop you.
  • Creating an environment in which employees can thrive enables them to perform and improves staff retention.
  • Human beings love certainty and being in control. But that is not how the world works. When you accept that you can thrive.
  • You can´t stop yourself from caring what people think, but you can control how much emotion, energy, and importance you attach to it.
  • You can turn imposter syndrome on its head and turn it into something positive.

BEST MOMENTS
‘My job really is being a great investigator to understand what the problem is and then try and figure out the best way to support them. ´
‘I often say if you've got impostor syndrome, that's great. Let's harness it. If people say I don't have it, I'm like, 'There's a red flag.’
‘It isn´t the feelings and thoughts that cause us the suffering. It's what we do with the feelings and thoughts that causes us pain.’
'Impostor syndrome can either go two ways. It's something that we can either thrive with, or we can suffer with it. And it's a choice.’

15 Jan 2024Marketing - Why Most Websites Are S__t00:49:14

In this episode, Joel and Andy explain why most business websites are s__t. Many look pretty but do nothing for the businesses that own them. Joel and Andy explain how to make sure your website enables potential buyers to understand how you can help, capture leads, and tell you more about your customers while generating more sales. They cover, design, being mobile-friendly, targeting your customer avatar, click-baiting, leveraging pain stacking and more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Most websites are s__t because they don´t work. 
  • The web designer needs to understand what the business objective of the website is e.g. generating leads, capturing data, or enabling people to buy online.
  • First impressions count. Business websites have to make it easy for visitors as well as look good.
  • Most searches are mobile, so your site must look good on a phone.
  • Blogging on a business site is all about providing value for customers.
  • Write for the customer. For example, you know how your services can benefit them, but they don´t, you need to lay this out for them in language they can understand.
  • If you are good say so and explain why. Explain what it is that you offer compared to a typical accountant, trainer etc.
  • Review and update your site regularly.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Simplicity and clarity in all aspects of your marketing are going to be even more important in 2024. ´

‘An about page is the 2nd highest viewed page on a website, so please do use it.’

‘You´ve got to know your customer.’

27 Dec 2021Marketing: Building a Personal Brand with 'Shropshire Lad' Adam Purnell00:45:20

In this episode, Joel sits down to chat with the popular cook Adam Purnell aka 'Shropshire Lad'. If you haven’t got round to watching Crazy Delicious yet, you may be wondering who Shropshire Lad Adam Purnell is?

 

Before appearing on Netflix Crazy Delicious, Adam Purnell was a lad from Shropshire with a love for cooking and fishing.

 

Adam is a self-taught cook and got his enthusiasm for cooking from his father. He was introduced to exciting flavours and recipes from a young age and was always encouraged to get involved with the cooking at home. His passion clearly shone through during his time on Crazy Delicious as the winner of the first episode of the series.

 

A huge supporter of all things Shropshire (Codebreak’s home county), Adam uses local ingredients to create amazing dishes which he shares with his thousands of followers on Instagram. Following successful cookalongs, food pop-ups, and food festival appearances, Shropshire Lad is the next big thing in the UK food world. 

 

Find out how Adam built his personal brand and went from a backyard cook to a TV star in this episode of the Stay Hungry podcast.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • Pop-ups are a great way to get started with a food business. It has advantages over the street food model.
  • Social media is a powerful tool. It is how Netflix invited Adam to appear on Crazy Delicious.
  • Success on Instagram bought in influencer work.
  • Thinking creatively and offering something different, creates huge demand, fast.
  • Diversify your business, to learn new skills and attract different types of customers. It’s a great way to build your brand.
  • Share your knowledge and what you do in as many different ways as possible.
  • Put yourself front and centre of your business.

06 Dec 2021Marketing: Visual Mastery for Coaches and Consultants with Graham Hurst00:32:56

In this episode, Joel speaks to Graham Hurst who in just 18 months grew what was intended to be a side hustle into a full-blown coaching business that required him to hire staff. Something he was able to do, largely because of the way he used social media. He now uses those skills to coach other business owners. Doing so in a quite different way.

Graham and Joel share numerous tips that any business can use to become more effective at selling on social media and in other ways. They also discuss how to attract the type of clients you want to work with and keep control of when you work.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Social media has been key to turning a side hustle into a large business in just 18 months.
  • You only have 0.3 seconds to catch someone´s eye on social media.
  • No matter how beautifully written or produced what you publish is, if it is not eye-catching people won´t read it.
  • So many people try to sell a $997 product using a $5 image, which doesn´t work.
  • Look at the way products of a similar price point are marketed and learn from that.
  • You cannot serve every audience the same type of image.
  • Always go back to the metrics.
  • Study copywriting to find out how to get people to read the next line.
  • Once you get people reading your copy, work on being more relatable.
  • Sharing one of your interests helps you to make a connection. People prefer to work with someone they feel they can go for a beer with.
  • Only start selling once you have made a proper connection.
  • There are no trade secrets, so just jump in and share what you know. The chances are that they won´t be able to do it and will ask you to do it for them.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Once people start to read your content, start building that relatability.’

‘Use open loops to get people to ask more questions.’

‘Tell people what they need to know. But nine times out of ten they’re going to say can you just do it for me.’

28 Nov 2022Mindset - Don´t Get Fooled by a Six-Pack00:25:23

In this episode, Joel, and Andy talk about the fact that looks can be deceiving, especially in business. If you are not careful, you can let this deception lead to your thinking that you are not as good as your competitors. Self-doubt can creep in and overwhelm you. During the episode, Joel and Andy explain how to stop this from happening and banish it quickly if it does start to become an issue.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • People put up a front all the time. Particularly in business.
  • Do not let looks deceive you and make you feel that you are in some way inferior.
  • You don´t have to know everything to be just as good or better than your competitor. Your ninja skill of finding stuff out fast bridges any gap.
  • If you are in a meeting, make a promise to get back to someone with something actually do so. That cements a relationship faster than anything.
  • Remember, to an extent, everyone is winging it.
  • If you are having self-doubt because you have not prepared enough, do the work to fill that gap.
  • Act like you deserve to be there, but still be willing to learn.

 

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘We have so many bloody examples of this because like it's rife that basically looks can be deceiving in business and it's superficial. ´

‘Find out that person's first name in whatever environment you're in, and then use it a lot.’

‘it's about positioning yourself for success. Some people position themselves for arrogance. When it becomes an ego thing you've got a problem.’

22 May 2022Mindset: Everything's Toxic00:33:40

In this episode, Joel, and Andy discuss why, right now, everyone is referring to virtually anything that does not fit in with their worldview and narrative as being toxic. They talk about how this over-sensitivity has come about, and the damage it can do to you and others.

They then share ways to stop yourself from getting sucked into looking at everything in that jaded way. Explaining how to keep things in balance. To see the world as it really is, yet still be ready to handle genuinely toxic situations and people, in a healthy way.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The word toxic means something that is extremely harmful or unpleasant, in a pervasive or insidious way. That is not how the word is being used now.
  • When someone disagrees with us, their views are not automatically toxic.
  • Thinking everything is toxic, closes your mind. Not being ready to listen to others is bad for business.
  • When you think everything is toxic you become hyper-sensitive and scared to put your head above the parapet e.g., use social media to grow your business.
  • You can't always avoid exposing yourself to toxicity, especially in business.
  • Be ready to handle toxic situations you can't avoid in a healthy way.
  • Choose when and how you put your head above the parapet.
  • Take responsibility, if someone is upsetting you, challenge them or stay away from them.
  • If life feels like a grind, seek out the people that lift you up.
  • Look after yourself physically and mentally. It helps to make you more resilient.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘My sensitivity to the situation was hindering me.’

‘If you are feeling like everything is toxic. No. 1 have a look at what you are surrounding yourself with.’

‘For business owners, it is not always possible to avoid what is deemed toxicity.’

08 Jan 2024Mindset - Success is on the Other Side of Discomfort00:22:17

In this episode, Joel explains why success is on the other side of discomfort. Sharing why there is no avoiding these periods of discomfort, and how to manage them so that you benefit the most from them rather than becoming overwhelmed.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • You have to push yourself to do things that make you feel uncomfortable to be successful. It is unavoidable.
  • Periods of success are always followed by a plateau, where you feel a bit stuck and start to doubt yourself. That type of discomfort is a part of growth.
  • You need to address the discomfort, stress, and anxiety you are experiencing.
  • You always need to have your why in mind, the reason you are putting yourself through discomfort.
  • Accepting discomfort is important, but you must be careful not to push yourself too hard.
  • Everyone has limiting beliefs, addressing them always leads to growth.
  • It´s okay to fail, just make sure you fail quickly, then, continue moving forward.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I don't think I've ever achieved anything in business or life, that hasn't come through an element of discomfort. ´

‘News flash, business is really f**ing hard and it doesn’t get easier.’

‘If you don´t do the reps, which hurt, you won't get the success on the other side.’

‘Don´t mistake discomfort for failure.’

21 Mar 2022Marketing: Do You Know What You Do?00:23:28

Andy and Joel are talking about purpose, mission, and explaining to others what you do. 


A good test of this…

 

Ask your significant other what you do. If they can’t explain it in one clear sentence, chances are you haven’t explained it to them clearly.

And if you can’t explain it to them, imagine how much trouble you’re having explaining it to your potential customers. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • Not being clear about what you do and being able to explain it quickly and clearly, in one sentence, to others, is losing you sales.
  • Use one sentence to explain what you do, then invite the other person to ask you some questions.
  • When answering the question, what do I do? try reframing, ask – what do you do to help?
  • We all tend to like to think that what we do is complicated and special. 
  • People don´t like arrogance. They like clarity and confidence, which a succinct explanation of what you have to offer them, helps to convey.
  • Allow the person you are talking to, to be in control of the conversation. That way, you will learn more about what they want from you.
  • The most effective brands in the world keep things simple.



BEST MOMENTS

‘If you can´t, explain to people what you do in one sentence, and say it with clarity and conviction – you’re losing customers. ´

‘Use the partner test... go home and ask your other half – what do I do?’

‘Simplify everything, to its simplest form, where it is still effective.’

23 Jan 2023Marketing - Ten Top Marketing & Mindset Tips for 202300:51:58

In this episode, Joel, and Andy share their top marketing and mindset tips, for 2023. Tips, techniques, and strategies you can use to give yourself an edge. They cover investing in yourself in different ways to set yourself up for success, mindset, branding, reaching your audience, keeping them engaged, making sales and much more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The most successful people set themselves long-term goals.
  • You can’t succeed if you are stuck in the micro. A to-do list is not a goal-setting tool. It’s just a to-do list. You need a long-term goal, the steps you need to take, and when by.
  • If you don´t nurture your email list, it will die. You need good titles, regular emails, and offers that your subscribers actually want.
  • Get 8 hours of sleep each night and exercise and/or walk 10,000 steps.
  • Social platforms come and go so do algorithms, but the principles of marketing never do. Use them for whatever you do.
  • If your branding is high quality, you will attract more quality clients.
  • Use the fundamentals of design in your branding.
  • Do whatever it takes, within your values.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Have a clear 12-month goal, broken down into 90-day actionable game plans. ´

‘So, if you’re not prepared to send an email of interested in value to your database, at least once a fortnight, don't bother or get asked.’

‘Remember market, message, media.’

10 Oct 2021Marketing For Lazy People00:31:05

In this episode, Joel, and Andy talk about making your marketing more effective. In particular, how to make it super easy for people to take action and buy from you. They discuss how to gain a bigger share of the market simply by taking the friction out of your sales process.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • If the thing that you want a potential buyer to do involves a bit of effort most people won´t bother and you will lose the sale.
  • Everyone takes the path of least resistance, when possible.
  • Technology has made it possible to do so much literally at the touch of a button. It has made us all much lazier.
  • If your competitors make the buying process easier and more convenient, people will buy from them e.g., Amazon Prime.
  • Even small tweaks make a dramatic difference. In the podcast, Joel and Andy share several examples.
  • Making it possible to complete a transaction immediately ensures people don´t pause, get distracted and not follow through.
  • Not being helpful reduces the chances of your making a sale. It instantly tells a customer that you can´t be bothered.
  • Regularly review your sales process, identify the points of friction and work to eliminate them.
  • Consistently work to make things as easy as possible for your customers.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘If what you want people to do involves effort, you will be losing money.’

‘Everyone wants a frictionless transaction.’

‘Once you´ve been to a bar where you can order at your table, and it just appears you never want to go anywhere else.’

05 Feb 2024Marketing - Websites Are Not Dead00:26:49

For this episode, Joel and Andy explain why websites are not dead, despite the availability of Facebook and other social media platforms. They discuss how to work out what you want your website to achieve and get the right style of site built.

Joel and Andy cover ensuring that the customer understands what you offer, and what makes you stand out, as well as provide the information they need to decide to buy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Any business looking for growth needs a website. Social media is rarely enough.
  • You need to understand what you want your website to do for your business.
  • People are taking longer to decide to spend. They want to know they can trust you, something that your website really helps with.
  • Getting a potential customer to visit your site is only step one.
  • Even if what you are offering is free, your website still has to be structured to sell it to someone. They will still want their questions and concerns answered.
  • Capture visitors’ details and use that information.
  • A website has got to look professional. 
  • Building a website is hugely time-consuming and a steep learning curve. Usually, it is better to pay someone else to build it for you.
  • Getting it to rank also takes a lot of time, effort and, often, money.

BEST MOMENTS

‘People seem to be surprised that websites are still important in this day of Facebook and stuff. ´

‘A website doesn´t have to be massive and complicated.’

‘It´s still got to provide a tip-top user experience.’

19 Feb 2024Business - Understanding The Value of a Client00:39:16

In this episode, Joel and Andy talk about understanding the true value of a customer. Without knowing the current lifetime value of your clients, it's impossible to know what you should be spending on marketing to acquire new ones. 

Joel and Andy explain, in detail, how to calculate the true value of your clients and work out the effectiveness of each ad campaign. Thus, ensuring the percentage of your profits you invest in marketing generates a high rate of return.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Most owners have no clue what the lifetime value of their customers is, so don´t know how much they can safely spend to acquire new clients.
  • Understanding how well your ads convert is essential. How you do this is explained in the episode.
  • Advertising is an investment. It can easily take months for a campaign to break even.
  • If you want a profitable, scalable business you have to spend a significant percentage of your profit on advertising.
  • Relying on word of mouth to bring in new clients means you can´t scale.
  • Once you have a customer, invest in keeping them. Joel and Andy explain how.
  • If you want a scalable business, you can´t continue to simply hustle your way through.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Businesses don´t grow on hunches.’

‘Embed yourself in their life.’

‘What about the clients you've already got? When do they get sent a voucher or a phone call.’

21 Nov 2022Growth - Being A Lighthouse00:35:18

In this episode, Joel, and Andy discuss why as a business owner, entrepreneur, or leader you want to be seen as a lighthouse rather than as a mountain climber. They explain what both terms mean and why the most successful people are lighthouses that shine a light which draws people to them, including customers.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Leaders who take the mountain climber approach struggle and scratch their way upwards. Often, with others clinging to them as they try to make progress.
  • As a lighthouse, you stand atop of the cliff, which gives you a great view and enables others to see your light shining from afar.
  • An awful lot of people are brought up to always say yes, even when they should be saying no. They also tend to severely undervalue themselves and not charge enough.
  • Sometimes the low-cost high-volume business model works. But the high-cost, high-profit model is far easier.
  • First impressions matter. Very much how people perceive you becomes the reality of the working relationship they have with you. What you project matters.
  • When you spend money on your business you need to treat it as an investment.
  • Don't feel guilty about charging a high fee. You have worked hard to become good enough for people to want to pay top dollar for you. Instead, be proud.
  • Never get lazy and let your standards slip. You are only as good as the last piece of work you did for that customer.

BEST MOMENTS
‘If you're competing on price or not even consciously competing on price, you'll find you're doing loads of work, but it's all for scrappy little bits. ´
‘That whole like, positioning thing and being the lighthouse thing isn't just about how you price yourself. It's also how you behave, the decisions you make.’
‘You can't move forward by looking backwards. And so okay, that's what happens, then, where are you now? And where do you want to get to?’

05 Jun 2022Mindset: The Mindset For Success With Jean-Pierre De Villiers00:51:48

In this episode, Joel speaks to Jean-Pierre De Villiers about how you can have the right mindset for success. Jean-Pierre explains how he went from living in poverty in South Africa to living like a rock star, in the UK, by the age of 23. A dream lifestyle that did not make him happy. A realisation that set him on the journey that has led to him becoming an inspirational life coach, author, and public speaker.

 

He and Joel discuss the role self-confidence, physical activity, appreciating what you have now,  and being true to your values have in creating the type of success that makes you truly happy. If you don´t want to continue to be one of the 78% of people who don´t like what they do for a living, listen to this episode, take action, and transform your life.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • If your success is not in alignment with what matters to you, you are not likely to be happy.
  • Create a life that is in alignment with your values.

12 Feb 2024Marketing - Starting The Conversation With Ads00:27:06

For this episode, Joel, and Andy sit down to talk about how to start the conversation using ads. Taking them straight from seeing your ad to speaking to them via a DM, which most of them now prefer over talking on the phone. Joel and Andy explain how to crunch the numbers and scale at a pace that suits your business.

Using examples, they show you how to close the sale via a DM.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • On the Meta platform, it is now possible to drive people from an ad straight into a DM conversation.
  • Messenger ads can be used in conjunction with other platforms.
  • The more conversational your ad is the more likely it is that the DM conversation will be fruitful.
  • People are increasingly uncomfortable with being cold called.
  • The telephone is not dead, but it is dying. More conversations are starting online.
  • You can use bots, but most of the time real DM conversations work best.
  • Reply to all DMs quickly. Joel and Andy explain how. Including when and how to use voice notes.
  • You mustn´t come across as desperate for the sale.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You´ll find that the DMs that come in off the back of that are far more primed to a non-cold call conversation. ´

‘People want to DM first, they don´t want to speak on the phone.’

‘You´ve got to ask for the sales.’

18 Dec 2023Business - How to Lead a Team with Calum Richardson01:08:25

In this episode, Andy sits down with the multiple award-winning, ex-forces, hospitality business coach and restauranteur Calum Richardson. He shares how he got started in the hospitality industry and became a coach.

He and Andy discuss recruitment, staff development, retention and why paying under 18s less is a bad idea. Calum also explains why he no longer has business partners, how to use journaling for personal development and much more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Always make time for self-development.
  • It´s OK to fail. If you don´t try you´ll never get anywhere.
  • You´ve got to coach your staff instead of always telling them what to do.
  • Put your staff through all departments. They will have a fuller understanding of how the business works and be able to work more flexibly.
  • Employ someone for a trial day or week.
  • Pay everyone fairly, you need them all. Your kitchen porter is just as important as your servers.
  • Stop paying youngsters the lower minimum wage.
  • Be willing to adapt.
  • Journaling is not a load of b**cks. It helps you to see problems coming and recognise what you have achieved.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Don´t open your mouth so quick.’

‘I like to get people and mould them.’

‘Staff retention – build a relationship, it's about relationships.’

18 Sep 2022Growth - Running a Rebellious Business with Cordelia Kate00:32:36

In this episode, Joel sits down to talk with Cordelia Kate who describes herself as a “rebellious business” coach. She helps people who don't want to follow the standard 9 to 5 path to start their own successful online businesses. Doing so in a sustainable way that keeps them moving forwards forevermore.
She and Joel discuss how to start a business that grows fast, becomes profitable and is sustainable. They talk through launching products quickly, learning about your audience, tapping into your network, and leveraging social media.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Entrepreneurial rebels have the courage and tenacity to really be themselves.
  • Striving to fit in zaps your energy, and makes you miserable, which means it drags you down and holds you back.
  • Take action. You only gain clarity about who you are, your products and your audience by taking action.
  • Start selling quickly, test things. Once you know what the market wants, build your end product.
  • Being yourself includes choosing clients that are happy with who you are and the way you work.
  • Sell a one-to-one service first. Use what you learn from doing that to build a course, or other type of product.
  • Organic marketing can take you further than you think. Cordelia shares examples of how to leverage it.
  • Get systems in place that nurture people fast.

BEST MOMENTS
‘You don't need to stand out, you just need to be yourself. It is scary and an act of rebellion because you´re going against everything you were taught. ´
‘Put stuff out to the market to test it to see if anyone around you is interested in what you have to offer.’
‘Advertise on Eventbrite.’

20 Jun 2021You´re Not Advertising to a Standing Army; You´re Advertising to a Moving Parade00:27:11

In this episode, Joel, and Andy talk about a great piece of advice that the advertising guru and Mad Men style industry leader David Ogilvy shared – You are not advertising to a standing army; You´re advertising to a moving parade.

 

They discuss why that advice has stood the test of time. As well as explaining how any business can apply it today.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • Ogilvy really was the Master of Advertising – his books are a must-read for anyone growing a business.
  • Ogilvy´s story brand technique was ahead of its time and still works today.
  • Understanding how to communicate with people and nurture those relationships is essential.
  • Who your audience is, what they want, and where you can connect with them, changes, so you need to adapt.
  • With any campaign, there is a learning and tweaking process to go through.
  • Schedule time and resources for testing and measuring.
  • Follow your campaigns through rather than always giving up after a few days.
  • Don´t get involved in selling harmful products. Aside from the moral issue, it will eventually blow up your business.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘There will not be an advertising course in the land that does not link up, in some way, to the techniques Ogilvy came up with. ´

‘You´ve got to get in front of people and stay in front of people.’

09 Oct 2022Growth - Having a Performance Mindset with Natalie Potts00:56:08

In this episode, Joel sits down to talk to Natalie Potts who is a business growth strategist and mentor. She helps people to transform their lives and grow their businesses.

She and Joel discuss Natalie´s approach to doing this and why she does things a little differently. As well as discussing how anyone can improve their mindset, and relationships and become resilient enough to get through the tough times and achieve success.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • There is no one size fits all coaching strategy. The approach has to be flexible enough to adapt to what each person needs.
  • The performance mindset starts with understanding how your mind works. Self-awareness is crucial.
  • There is no point in being self-aware if you do not do anything about the things you are noticing about yourself.
  • It is the difficult moments that make us more resilient. They teach us how hard we can push.
  • Learn to globally listen. Making people feel that you have heard them builds incredibly strong relationships.
  • Life isn´t black and white – it´s grey. There´s so much we can learn from that. Trying to understand the other point of view teaches you so much.
  • Anyone can take things to the next level.
  • Having a strong vision of what you want and why you are doing something is incredibly powerful.
  • Staying physically fit makes a positive difference to your business. It boosts energy levels and builds resilience.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Real coaching comes in its purest form and its transformational state when you really slow things down and create the space for people just to think. ´

‘If you look after your people, then magic happens.’

‘You can't manage yourself all the time. It's sometimes knowing how to get back on track.’

26 Dec 2022Marketing - The TikTokification of Social Media00:40:01

In this episode, Joel, and Andy sit down to look at why TikTok has gained so much traction and is so effective for marketing. They discuss how to reach people in a world where their attention span is getting shorter, and you have to be increasingly ridiculous to catch people's eye. Including talking through and avoiding the pitfalls.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • It does not matter that the platforms have changed, the fundamentals of marketing still apply.
  • Businesses that just occasionally post any old thing get nowhere. 
  • Those that are successful with TikTok post really relevant content, 3 or 4 times a day.
  • By being consistent and not publishing trash you can easily beat your competitors. Hardly any of them will be taking social media seriously.
  • There is no point in getting engagement if you don't have a way to build a long-term audience.
  • TikTok and social media take far more work than you realise.
  • Posting the wrong thing on TikTok can be incredibly damaging to your business.
  • Take your 5 key selling points and come up with creative ways to make people more aware of them.
  • Don´t jump on too many bandwagons.

BEST MOMENTS

‘There will be very few of your competitors, if any, that are genuinely making an effort on social media. ´

‘If you can't say what you want to say quickly there is not much point in saying it’

‘Consistency is where most businesses fail.’

16 Apr 2023Marketing - Why Digital Advertising Is Better Than Press Advertising00:29:15

Today, Joel and Andy look at the ten reasons digital advertising is better than press advertising. They share several examples and discuss, targeting, getting the most out of ad metrics, and working out how much you should invest in digital ads.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Digital marketing is flexible and enables you to be laser-targeted with your advertising.
  • Digital ads are easy to analyse to see what works best. 
  • Within a week you will be able to see if a digital ad is effective.
  • Press ads are nowhere nearly as cost-effective as properly targeted digital ads.
  • Digital ads need to be viewed as an investment. The real-world examples shared in the podcast demonstrate why.
  • Press adverts still have a place in a few markets.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The obvious first one (advantage) is targeting. ´

‘You have to be able to track those metrics…. follow the money.’

‘The return on ad spend is just ridiculous.’

‘At the start, it is hard to see past that initial outlay…it´s all about investment.’

In this episode, Joel sits down with Carla Reeves who is a coach and mentor that helps hyper achievers who want to build a business without negatively impacting their personal lives. She helps them to find and maintain balance. Carla explains how her own experience led to her pursuing this passion.

During the podcast, she shares valuable strategies and tips that anyone can use to help them to live a bold, authentic life that is aligned with their values. Something that automatically leads to success in both their personal and business lives. She explains how to be the entrepreneur of your own life (life-preneurship), which includes learning to use the skills that make you successful at work to achieve success in your personal life.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Often, friction within relationships goes hand in hand with success. But it does not need to be this way. In the podcast, Carla explains how to avoid this situation.
  • Many people keep bumping up against the same barriers in life, repeating the same mistakes.
  • Most people have a survival model they developed in crisis, which is OK. But it is not healthy to keep using that model when you are not in crisis.
  • Everyone has habits. How you treat people, use money, what you eat etc. That´s not always bad. But as life changes your habits also need to change.
  • Journalling enables you to be honest about what you think and feel. The more you write freely the easier it is to also be your true self in life.
  • Journalling empties the trash. It gets rid of the noise, which builds up in your head.
  • Writing down what you want to achieve from a conversation, meeting or activity is incredibly powerful.
  • Putting your thoughts down on paper slows you down enough to see what is really important.
  • Play, adventure and relaxation all create fuel to help you to work better, so make time for them.
  • Before you do something, ask yourself – Does this align with the life I want to create? Doing this acts as a filter which keeps your personal life aligned with your values and you on track.
  • When you get your thinking, your behaviour and your actions all working in the same direction with your values, amazing things start to happen.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘I had become a master of making everything look good on the outside. But I didn´t know how to take care of the inside. ´

‘The first piece of work I do with people is to uncover what I call their survival model.’

‘The secret to confidence is kind of realising that nobody has it. Everybody´s brain is trying to protect them.’

01 May 2022Marketing: Stop Rolling the Dice on Your Business, Own the Table!00:43:57

In this podcast, Joel sits down to talk with Joe DeMaria, CLO at Academy Builders Inc, and founder of Teach to Scale. He explains how he went from selling sweets at school (and getting caught doing it) to becoming a serial entrepreneur. One who has also had great success at transforming several languishing businesses.

He explains why so many firms never break through the $1.2 to $2 million mark and what can be done to stop that from happening. Joe also explains, in detail, how to sell more of the products or services that provide you with the highest profit margin and annually add more profitable products to what you have to offer.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Successful entrepreneurs provide a solution for what are usually very common problems.
  • Too many people build businesses around what we are good at rather than around what customers want and need.
  • Leveraging time only takes you so far. You cannot progress without strategic intent. 
  • Don´t neglect market research. Use the data within your company to make informed decisions.
  • Choose the right business method.
  • Offer structure has a massive impact on cash flow and, therefore, success.
  • Focus on selling your highest margin activities.
  • Add a halo tier to your offer. Joe explains why and how.
  • The foundations of your business are critical.
  • Any business can scale by adding new product lines, every year.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘A lot of entrepreneurship is about being responsive, not about being creative. ´

‘The problems the best companies in the world solve are the ones that are around us every day.’

‘Market research needs to be a part of everything we touch.’

‘Every business should have product lines, not products.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Joe got his start in the Internet space back in 2011. At the time, he was — in his own words — "broke, dumb, and successful at failing in business over and over again."

And then... a shift in mindset would occur.

After discovering and absorbing himself in the world of online marketing, he developed a burning desire to join the Genius Network. Years of study, trial & error, and business development would occur before he finally found himself part of th

21 Feb 2022Marketing: How To Sell With Solution-Based Selling00:40:31

In this episode, Joel, and Andy explain why great salespeople understand that selling is all about listening to someone´s problems and desires. Then, providing solutions. Something very few people do. So, those entrepreneurs that do take the time, sell when others fail to do so.

 

Joel and Andy provide guidance on how to listen properly, research your audience and use the right language in your copy.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • Problem-solving is a powerful selling tool. Selling is serving.
  • Figure out the problem you solve. Point out the problem. Show how you solve it with proof.
  • Never present people with too many choices. It only confuses.
  • Don´t babble on about all of the features. Instead, focus on the one or two that solve that person´s problem.
  • If you realize that you genuinely cannot help someone, say so and do it quickly.
  • You´ve got two ears and one mouth, use them in that ratio.
  • Learn about copywriting and keep practicing to improve.
  • Use short sentences to make your copy easy to digest.
  • If possible, you want to be sending emails to your list at least once a week.
  • You are not bugging someone if you are providing real value.
  • Things change, which means your copy has to be constantly reviewed and updated.
  • When you are 85, 90% happy with your copy just get it out there.
  • Get a fresh perspective before publishing your copy.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Bad copy can do more harm than good.’

‘Put yourself in your potential customer´s shoes.’

‘The more you give the more you get. Provide value.’

‘In terms of copywriting if you´re aiming for perfect, you are going to be sorely disappointed.’

31 Jul 2022Marketing - The Power of Video With Ryan Proctor00:40:31

In this episode, Joel sits down to speak with Ryan Proctor. Ryan shares his background as a coffee master before his big breakthrough came with Jamieson's Whisky to move full-time into videography. 

Joel and Ryan, both film lovers, reference many films as they discuss the power of video with a particular discussion about the best Rocky film. 

Ryan shares insights into the type of business owners he meets. Usually two types; the ones who want to be the hero of the story and the ones who want their customers to be the hero.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • TikTok´s popularity demonstrates just how well people respond to videos.
  • The pandemic forced people to appear on screen, so people are no longer self-conscious about appearing in videos.
  • There is a sense of fun that you don’t get with Instagram.
  • If you provide entertainment, your following will grow super-fast.
  • Build a following and authority using fun, then slowly drip in the business stuff.
  • Your business is not all about you. Your content must be client focused and give them what they need.
  • Social media should be used to start conversations. Only when people reach your funnel can you start to sell to them.
  • Money is a by-product of success. Helping people must be your priority. When it is, success follows.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Reels are your best chance of growing organically and getting engagement. ´

‘Instagram is putting its focus towards being a more video dominant platform.’

‘Using video as a tool for storytelling has been the most impactful thing.’

07 Feb 2022Growth: Scaling Your Business with The Disruptive Entrepreneur, Rob Moore00:31:36

In this episode, Joel speaks with Rob Moore about scaling your business to seven figures, as both Joel and Rob have already done. They discuss how business owners and entrepreneurs can set themselves up to be ready to benefit from, rather than suffer, from rapid or drastic changes.

 

Rob explains why when CoVid struck he briefly bought into the panic, started to firefight, and lost momentum. How he recognised this, recovered the situation, and ended up growing far fast than he had before the pandemic.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • You need to be ready, at all times. To have the skills and people in place to be able to manage any change. Rob shares some examples in the podcast.
  • It is possible for regulators, customers, or the market to make decisions that change your business overnight e.g., CoVid.
  • Every challenging downside has an upside. Recognise both but focus on the upside.
  • Stay on vision, stay on mission. Be yourself no matter what. (quote)
  • Be clear on your role. 
  • Learn to transcend criticism and negativity.
  • You have to let go to grow. Hire people to do admin etc, so you can focus on the things only you can do.
  • Find mentors.
  • Be true to yourself and learn to be happy with who you are.
  • Focus on doing what you are good at, stop struggling to do what you are not good at, hire someone instead.
  • Look out for opportunities in uncertain times.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Don´t get ready, be ready. ´

‘The three Cs – Comfort, complaints, and complacency are not growth attributes. They are atrophy attributes’

‘No matter what´s going on around me know who I am, know my role and manage my own emotions.’

‘The more you like yourself, the less you need to be liked by others.’

08 Nov 2021Taking a Local Brand to a National Brand with Paul Cammack of Alfies´Coffee00:51:16

In this episode, Joel sits down to chat with Paul Cammack the director of Alfie´s Coffee Company. He talks about how he reached the point where people were requesting that his coffee van come to their area. 

As well as how lockdown suddenly slowed his growth, which pushed him to go online earlier than planned and resulted in him creating new product lines. To start selling his award-winning freshly roasted beans across the country, including as a subscription service. He also explains how he tailors what he has to offer to his customers, while, at the same time, encouraging them to try other beans and invest in equipment to produce better results.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Before lockdown, Alfie was selling his coffee and beans locally. Lockdown pushed him to go online faster.
  • Alfie realised that lockdown got people more interested in making high-quality coffee at home. A market he tapped into.
  • Using tech that is already available is a good way to grow your brand. Alfie explains how he is using an established app to do that.
  • Focusing on helping your customer to get more out of your product can help you to sell more. Alfie shares several examples of this in the podcast.
  • Understand who you are targeting and niche accordingly. E.g., are they interested in taste, exploring new beans or eco-friendliness?
  • Give your customers the chance to explore what you have to offer. Alfie does this using coffee cupping, a service that he explains in the podcast.
  • Doing what you do to the best of your abilities always pays dividends.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘People are starting to realise what makes a good coffee and what makes a bad coffee. ´

‘Come at it from a customer´s point of view.’

‘It’s a different bean from a completely different farm. So, it tastes completely different even though it is from the same country.’

15 May 2022Marketing: Impactful Images to Power Your Business With Martin Irvine01:12:12

In this episode, Joel sits down with Martin Irvine the owner and director of Martin Irvine Productions. They discuss the role images play in marketing and how to create ones that have an impact. Images that get noticed, are memorable and convert. Something Martin has been doing for the coaches and fitness leaders that make up the majority of his clients.

They discuss how businesses can still thrive in recession conditions by marketing hard, understanding their customers and being authentic. As well as talking about what it takes to be successful without becoming overwhelmed by your work life.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Some of the most successful businesses in the world have developed out of a recession.
  • Businesses that scaled during CoVid filled the void and are still thriving.
  • First impressions are important. Today, that means getting your social media right.
  • Knowing your market is essential. It’s not enough to replicate what others are doing.
  • The content you put out must be authentic, including your images.
  • When you get your content and images right you get better quality leads.
  • Outsourcing your image creation and marketing frees you up to generate far more income.
  • Do you wash your own car? Or do you pay someone to do it? It makes sense to take the same approach with your business.
  • Bring people who are better than you into your business. 
  • Every successful person has people behind the scenes helping them.
  • Test campaigns out long enough to know whether they work. People give up far too quickly.
  • People know the difference between professional images and amateur ones, you can use that to your advantage.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘When the market is down, those that market hardest position themselves as the first choice for when the market comes back. ´

‘Be authentic.’

‘I will take more from a challenge than I will allow a challenge to take from me.’

27 Aug 2023Marketing - Mastering the Art of Customer Persuasion00:31:20

In this episode, Joel and Martha talk about mastering the art of customer persuasion. They discuss identifying what people want or need and demonstrating to them that you offer exactly that. As well as how to delight customers to create loyal brand advocates who buy regularly and recommend you to others.

Joel and Martha also share some effective ways to retarget those who do not buy the first time around and how to build a strong customer relationship.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Using what people want or need is central to the art of customer persuasion.
  • Don´t waste time and energy trying to sell to customers who don´t actually need what you offer.
  • When customers love what you do, they become powerful brand advocates.
  • Don´t confuse people, by asking them to do too much or sharing info they don´t really need.
  • Make it easy to buy from you. If people have to click too many times, you'll lose them.
  • Give your customers targeted gifts and work to make them feel like a part of your tribe.
  • Little errors break customer relationships e.g., getting someone´s name wrong.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The ultimate game is to get them to become brand advocates. ´

‘Do what you said you would.’

‘An oops campaign is a really powerful way to rebuild a relationship that has gone quiet.’

03 Jan 2022Mindset: Health and Mindset for Business Owners with Ali Maclean00:27:07

In this episode, Joel speaks to Ali Maclean who has been involved in martial arts, since the age of 7. Competing professionally at the age of 17 as a professional Ultimate Fighter. He is now a coach and a mentor.

 

Ali explains how he struggled when he had to give up fighting. He and Joel discuss coping with not being able to do as much as you age, how to handle toxic masculinity and the importance of improving your mental health. Ali explains how he uses meditation, gratitude, affirmations, and mindfulness to help himself and his clients.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • Understand how you are self-sabotaging yourself. Most of us do it.
  • Procrastination is a form of self-sabotage.
  • As you age, how much you do changes. This needs to be recognised. You need to adapt and refocus.
  • Many people lack routine, structure, and discipline. Without that, you waste a lot of time and energy.
  • Don´t leave your health, fitness, career, or personal life to chance.
  • If you let negative thoughts start to embed, they negatively affect every area of your life.
  • You need to look after yourself to be able to help others.
  •  A lot of men still don´t feel comfortable talking about their problems.

  • Gratitude affirmations are highly effective at transforming your mindset.
  • You have to believe in your personal affirmations.
  • Take a moment to relax and enjoy your achievements.

‘The routine, the discipline, and being around a group of like-minded people cannot be replaced.’

‘If your own jug is empty, you can’t fill everyone else’s glass. You can’t help your family.’

‘Gratitude overpowers everything.’

25 Jul 2021How to Avoid Creative a Job for Yourself with Mark Dolfini - The Landlord Coach00:49:25

In this episode, Joel speaks to Mark Dolfini - The Landlord Coach who teaches entrepreneurs from all industries to succeed. They discuss how many entrepreneurs drift into overworking and trying to control everything.  What is an unproductive and stressful way of working that can ultimately destroy their business, their health and family life.

 

Mark and Joel also discuss the importance of having a vision and sharing that with your life partner. They share how to make efficient use of your time, build strong processes and infrastructure so you can outsource virtually everything.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • Don´t fall into the trap of working too many hours. No matter how young or fit you are it will catch up with you and potentially destroy your mental and physical health.
  • Everything that is going on in your world can be systemised into processes.
  • Once you have good processes and the right infrastructure in place you can let others deal with most things.
  • Managing your time is all about managing yourself.
  • You need to recognise when to outsource tasks.
  • You have to find the time to fix things. So many entrepreneurs don´t. They continue to limp along until their business fails.
  • If you feel you are getting stuck in life, don´t ignore that feeling because it means you are stuck.
  • A strong vision is your circuit breaker. It is what will stop you from following the negative path you are on and make progress.
  • Focusing on your vision will stop you from getting distracted.
  • Your goals are waypoints that are taking you towards your vision.
  • Your belief system is trying to protect you. Unfortunately, letting it have free rein results in limiting beliefs.
  • Absolute and cancelling language both reveal limiting beliefs. Mark explains how to recognise this.
  • The most successful entrepreneurs are never afraid to ask for help and do so in a humble way.
  • Value your time and don´t be afraid to hire people to cook, clean and drive for you.
  • You need your life partner to understand and be able to buy into what you are doing. Share your vision with them.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘About 15 years ago I was broke. Not just in money, but in time as well. ´

‘Just because you´ve got the drive to outwork everyone. It doesn’t mean that you should.’

‘Your goals are just waypoints on the way to your vision.’

‘When you stay vision focused it's really easy.’

04 Jul 2022Marketing - You Must Have a Vision01:05:46

It’s the 200th episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, join Joel and Andy as they celebrate this achievement by talking all about the importance of vision! They explore why they have focused on marketing as a topic on the podcast, and discuss a range of topics including the role having a vision plays in guiding you in both your business and personal life; including the sacrifices and challenges this can pose. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • Having a vision is separate to a goal. It’s not about the destination but about the journey.

  • Start your day with intent and write your non-negotiables; what do you want to get out of that day? People go round in circles because they have no vision to guide them.

  • If you’re clear on your vision, then you can be clear about the things you shouldn’t and won’t be doing.

  • If you start your business and you aren’t well connected, then traditional networking is a great way to get started and learn how to communicate and make connections in your industry

  • No one likes feeling 'discomfort' and this is why people and businesses can give up too easily. You have to learn and have the bravery to push past this point of difficulty.

  • You don’t learn your biggest lessons from your wins, they come from your losses. It’s ok to get it wrong and fail, what's important is what you take from it to grow and build success. 

 

  • When looking to take on your first recruit, ask yourself two questions, what do you hate doing and what will make the ‘ship go faster’? That will tell you what position to hire for first.

 

  • Never have more than two call to actions on your websites; it dilutes your message and confuses people.

 

  • The hot pen technique is to simply imagine where you would ideally want to be in life in three years time, set a timer for 15 minutes and put that down on pen and paper. The only rule is the pen can’t leave the piece of paper!

 

  • Helping people is a good thing to do but you have to take a step back sometimes and analyse if it is the right thing to do, for them, for you and for your family and business too.

 

  • Covid and lockdowns allowed many people to re-evaluate their situations, Joel and Andy weren’t immune to this. It made them realise everything they had and what mattered to them and their families the most.

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

“Your vision can’t be right if it’s forcing you to do so much that you dislike”

 

“As a business owner, your personal vision and your business vision need to knit together”

 

“All forms of networking are always going to be important, but you’ve got to be selective with all of them”

 

“I used to have a real fear of failure and I taught myself there’s no such thing”

06 Aug 2023Mindset - The Psychology of Sales With Brian Will00:41:33

For this episode, Joel is joined by Brian Will of Brian Will Media, who is a serial multi-industry entrepreneur and a leading Business and Sales Management Consultant, who currently runs multiple businesses. Today, he and Joel sit down to discuss the psychology of sales. Brian explains how to get inside the mind of your potential customers, work out what they want, then provide it and explain it to them so that they can't resist buying from you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Without sales, you don't have a business.
  • Ask the 3 whys.
  • Create a profit and loss account for each employee. If someone can't be trained to turn a profit, they need to go.
  • People don't like salespeople, overcome that mistrust.
  • Identify objections, and work out how to overcome each one, so you have a response ready for each objection a customer may raise.
  • Don't talk to people who won't pay your prices, or who have a problem your product can't solve.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Sales runs the world. ´
‘Coach them up or coach them out.’
‘Call them out on the BS.’
