Episode Guest is Dr Doug Brackmann

Some people are born with a drive often seen in entrepreneurs, pro-athletes, inventors, adventurers and Navy SEALs. It’s in their DNA — research has shown that certain genes can manifest resilient and highly focused people who can also be impulsive and easily distracted. While these traits enabled our ancient ancestors to survive, if you have these traits today, it can create havoc in your life. You may be diagnosed with ADHD or OCD. But what the world tells you is a disorder may actually be your greatest gift.

Dr. Doug Brackmann is a distinguished psychologist, author of Driven: Understanding and Harnessing the Genetic Gifts Shared by Entrepreneurs, Navy SEALs, Pro Athletes, and Maybe YOU and creator of the Driven Assessment and Shooting Meditation. With dual PhDs in Psychology, Douglas Brackmann specializes in practices that hone in on the genetic gifts of roughly 10% of the population. Dr. Doug has spent his entire career working with top performers to help them overcome their limiting beliefs, stop their cycle of shame, and achieve the ultimate personal and professional successes. He has now turned his sights on developing content, tools, and even a Driven community to empower Driven people everywhere to end self-sabotage and live the life they’ve always wanted.

Joe Sanok is the author of Thursday is the New Friday: How to work fewer hours, make more money, and spend time doing what you want. It examines how the four-day workweek boosts creativity and productivity. Joe doesn’t just write about a 4 - day work week, he lives it. Going from working 60-hour weeks to travelling with his family full-time in an RV while being even more productive at work. Joe believes working for yourself in your own business shouldn’t have to feel like a job. And working smarter and limiting the time you spend on things that don’t matter can help.

Joe is also the host of the popular The Practice of the Practice Podcast, which is recognized as one of the Top 50 Podcasts worldwide with over 100,000 downloads each month. Bestselling authors, experts, scholars, and business leaders and innovators are featured and interviewed in the 550 plus podcasts he has done over the last six years.

Dylan Ogline is a high school dropout from a small country town in Pennsylvania. He started his first business when he was 14 selling cell phones.

In 2016, he scrapped 10+ business projects and started focusing on one single thing, digital marketing. Tired from struggling getting no progress and working from his freezing basement, not to mention nearly a million dollars in debt - it was an uphill climb.

Turns out, focus was the key. 4 short years later he has built Ogline Digital into a 7-figure agency generating over a million in sales three years running.

Dylan is now a leading expert in direct response advertising and business growth. He has now turned his focus to helping other people start and grow their own hyper profitable digital agency.

Dylan undoubtedly believes that anybody can start and build their own digital agency that will allow them to have more freedom and live a life with purpose and meaning. Dylan’s training programs are designed to take the guesswork out of building an agency and remove all of the unknowns that stop so many people from starting their own business.

When not working he enjoys travelling around the world at least 3 months of the year, playing hockey, reading, and spending time with the love of his life - La Croix. He is fascinated by Stoicism and has an insatiable hunger for knowledge and growth.

About my guest:

Meredith Kallaher is a self-professed podcast addict when she heard Rick Mulready, of The Art of Paid Traffic, say “Facebook ads are simple. They are all about the numbers,” everything for Meredith Kallaher just clicked.

An A-Ha moment, maybe?

Her CPA and 6 years with PricewaterhouseCoopers combined with her social media marketing expertise has uniquely prepared Meredith to help businesses execute and implement successful social media advertising campaigns. “I love numbers,” Meredith thought as Rick explained that successful ad strategies required Managers to understand the lifetime value of a customer for a business, compare that to the related acquisition cost by evaluating target audience sizes, cost per lead, return on ad spend, and click-through rate percentages.

“EASY” said all the creative CPA’s in the room!

Todd Palmer knows that growth happens only when we lean into the uncomfortable -- and he knows from personal experience: Todd went from being a struggling entrepreneur with $600,000 in debt to making the INC 5000 (a record total of 6 times!) as one of America’s fastest-growing companies.

Today, as a collaborative business advisor and CEO of Extraordinary Advisors, Todd helps his clients ditch their comfort zone, dive into their “failures,” and re-frame their mindset to be more authentic, transparent, and vulnerable to affect real change along the path to success. He knows that business success begins and ends with people, and he isn’t happy until his clients trust themselves (the leaders) AND their decisions. His job is only finished when teams trust the leaders AND each other -- when CEO’s and their leadership teams take action towards high-level achievement, resulting in clients that trust the company. (Read: more sales, more profits, more partnerships.)

Todd is also the author of the #1 International Amazon Best Seller- From Suck to Success: A Guide for Extraordinary Entrepreneurship.

In today's show Geoff is joined by Lisa Dadd in discussing the importance of happiness and defining your success

Lisa Dadds Bio:

After completing a Master’s of Science degree in Sports Medicine from the University of Western Ontario, Lisa entered the corporate world of health care.  Spending nearly fifteen years in various sales, marketing and management roles before making a decision to abandon the corporate life in an effort to finding more meaning and purpose in her life.  She wrote about the experience in her first book Finding Fabulous: Paving the Path Between Paycheck and Passion.

Taking her own advice, Lisa has intentionally redesigned her life to allow more time and flexibility to travel, learn new skills, and explore new business opportunities. Blurring the lines between work and play, Lisa’s greatest inspirations have come from her adventures driving across North America with her dog and hiking to places like the Base Camp of Mt. Everest and Machu Picchu. Splitting her time between her lakefront cottage in Northern Ontario and sunny Southern California, Lisa exemplifies what Finding Fabulous is all about. 

Currently, Lisa writes, consults and speaks on topics related to career and lifestyle redesign.  Combining fifteen years of strategic business skills with real-life experience, Lisa provides practical, relevant advice for anyone tired of feeling stuck and ready to take action.  To read more about her journey of Finding Fabulous, or to inquire about having her speak to your organisation, visit www.lisadadd.com or email info@lisadadd.com.

We all have to take a proactive look at managing our mental health and for high performers to homemakers, we should never underestimate the negative impact that poor mental health can have on us as individuals, our businesses and the important people around us.

In this episode, I answer a question from one of the show listeners Scott who asks 

I'm suffering from anxiety and need some help but I'm afraid what people may say and I'm worried about taking medication. I own my own business, which has a team and, of course, I'm really worried about what they may think if they know I'm suffering from anxiety. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated."

This weeks episode is a little different than usual as there are not guest joining me to share their story and knowledge, this week I am going to share with you four strategies that I use to plan my year and which I use with my clients to plan their year for success.

1. Reflect: Its is important to think about your past successes and failures in order to plan for the upcoming year.
   
2. Creating the plan: I combine an old fashioned wall planner with my love for technology and apps.  My choice is Evernote and Trello which I use to create a visual plan that is colour coded for all the different categories I need to plan for.
   
3. Break it into Quarters: I have found that in order to remove the overwhelm of having hundreds of goals it is easier to break the year into four sections and then focus on 3 key outcomes each quarter.
   
4. Power of Accountability: Your targets and goals should not be a secret, using the power of sharing your plan with people you know and trust can be extremely useful in maintaining momentum and reaching your targets.
