Speaker1:
So here's the big question.
Speaker2:
How are entrepreneurs like us who have been hustling and struggling to make it to success, who seem to make it one step forward, only to fall two steps back? Who are dedicated?
Speaker1:
And driven. How do we finally break through? And with that is the question. And this podcast will give you the. My name is Brian Kelly.
Speaker2:
This. Body. Hello everyone and welcome, welcome, welcome to the Mind Body Business Show. We have another phenomenal guest lined up for you tonight. I cannot wait to introduce her to you. It is the one and only. Amanda Slate Yes, I said it. Amanda Slate She is in the house. She's ready, she's waiting and she's going to come on really, really soon. But first, the mind body business show. What is that all about? It is a show for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs that the mission of this show and it's my personal mission is to bring on highly successful individuals and really elicit what is it that has made them successful in their life, both business and personal. And the purpose of that is so that you, the audience member, you that are watching you, that are listening, you can simply take notes and then model what they have done to achieve success. And model is just a fancy word for copy. And I know without even asking each and every guest that comes on, I do ask them on occasion that you have their permission to copy them, to basically mimic or model what they have done to achieve success. And that's what I love. One of the reasons I love what I get to do on this very show and I meet so many amazing people like Amanda and we're going to have a lot of fun. The Mind Body Business shows, it's based on the three pillars of success, as I call it, and it's based on those three words that are the very title of the show in mind is about mindset.
Speaker2:
And what I did was over about a decade or so, I studied only successful people. And that's what when I realized those three things kept bubbling up to the top that were apparently obvious that each and every successful person paid special focus and attention to one was their mindset. They have very powerful and even more importantly, flexible mindset. And then there's body. This is what's interesting to me because I found that. Every single person that I studied that had achieved an enormous amount of success also took very good care of their body and literally by exercising and by proper nutrition. And then business. Business is very, very multifaceted to to build and develop and grow a thriving, successful business. One needs to master a myriad of skill sets, skill sets like sales, marketing, team building meant leadership. I could go on quite, quite a while on this, and many of you who are already entrepreneurs can understand that. And the thing is to master any one thing can take a very long time. It's like becoming an expert at something takes 10000 hours of focused attention. It's no different with mastering skill sets that are required to build a thriving business. The good news is, before you go, Oh my God, I'm never going to get there.
Speaker2:
The good news is that you do not have to master every one, not even the ones I just listed. If you just mastered one, just one skill set, then the others can fall into place quite nicely. And that one skill set, if you're even curious, are you curious that one skill set is the skill set of leadership? And that is even true if you're a solopreneur because you want to be cognizant of how you are leading yourself and train yourself to lead yourself in ways that are serving to you and your business. And then when you bring on a team, really develop and hone in those leadership skills because once you have those mastered, once you've mastered leadership and even before then you can bring in those individuals into your team that have already mastered the skill sets that you either have yet to or maybe never will get to because of time, restraints, mastering. So that's a very good news story. So really hone in on leadership skills going forward. That's my humble advice to you. And another wonderful attribute of the very successful people that I had studied is that to a person, they all were very avid readers of books. And with that, I'd like to segue very briefly into a quick segment. I like to call Bookmarks.
Speaker3:
Bookmarks. Going to read bookmarks ready steady read bookmarks brought to you by Richard Pique Library. Com.
Speaker2:
And yes, Amanda Slade is coming on. I haven't forgot about her. She is still waiting there, anxiously saying, come on, Brian, stop yakking and bring me on already. Yes, it's coming very soon. And no, she doesn't talk like that. She's very wonderful and sweet and kind. Reach your peak library dot com. One of the things I want to point out before we go any further is just another piece of advice. And that is, instead of succumbing to that itch to go click away and check these resources out, you're going to hear of several during the show and Amanda will be the one providing most of the the juice I can only imagine. Instead of clicking away, get out a piece of paper, old school. I'm talking to old school and write it down. And then when the show is over and only then go visit. Here's the reason why I've spoken from stage numerous times, and when I'm on stage, I know what I'm about to say. You know, we've we've practiced. We've we know what we want to say to get the value to our audience. And I can't tell you how many times I know I'm getting to the real sweet spot, the juicy spot, and it's going to change people's lives. And sometimes I'll see someone get up and leave the room to go to the restroom or to take a phone call. For you. What I implore of you to do is not to take your attention away from the show. Instead, write the note, get it down, write it, and then put your gaze back and your ears back. If you're listening on podcast only to Amanda and what she has to say tonight, that is my advice to you.
Speaker2:
I personally will be taking notes as well. I'm running the whole show and I'm also doing the interviewing and everything and I myself take notes. So I'm not asking you to do anything. I myself am not willing to do. So I hope that's fair. Reached your peak library is something I had put together and built with you and mine. And you being the astute entrepreneur who is looking to grow, who is looking to take that your self and your business to the next level. And so what I did was I began compiling a list of books that I personally have read and vetted to, and only books that are in here are the ones that had profound impact on me, either business wise, personally, or even both. And they're in here in no particular order. This is not a website that I had built with any purpose or cause or goal of making money. It is just here for you to be able to swoop in, scroll down the first book that jumps off the page that you have not read. Just click it, get it and read it. And that's my advice to you, because reading books does change lives. As long as you read the right books, it's okay to read leisure books and have fun with fiction. I'm not saying that don't do that, but just make sure that your time is well spent, especially if you're looking to grow in your business or your personal life. That is it. I am done. I am off my soapbox because. I really want to talk to Amanda more than just sit here and blab all the way. So let's bring her on, shall we? Here we go. Amanda Slate.
Speaker3:
It's time for the guest expert. Spotlight savvy. Skillful, professional. Adept. Trained. Big league qualified.
Speaker2:
And there she.
Speaker4:
Is.
Speaker2:
Amanda Slade.
Speaker5:
Yes.
Speaker4:
Yay! Woo hoo! We're here together. That's going to be great.
Speaker5:
Yes.
Speaker2:
You've been such a joy to talk to. Before we started the show. We had a good chance to get to know each other. That's the one thing I'm finding about all the guests that come on my show, Amanda, and you're no different is there is an instant connection quality where I feel like I've known you and it's a testament to the people who referred you to come on to the show and the ones prior to that. It's just the successful people all seem to have this wonderful rapport building skill. And you're one of them. Thank you. You know, it's the most genuine, most authentic people, in my humble opinion, that get the most success, because success is very subjective. Right? It's not objective. So it means different things to different people. So. But success is about happiness. It's whatever it is for most people. But the ones that I see that really catapult in business are those that are the most authentic and work with the most integrity and character, such as yourself.
Speaker4:
Amanda So thank you. I appreciate that.
Speaker2:
You're very welcome. And yes, ladies and gentlemen, I will let her talk just in a moment.
Speaker5:

Speaker5:
Yes.
Speaker2:
I love it. And so, Amanda.
Speaker5:
Yes, you.
Speaker2:
Are an amazing woman. We had some great time to chat. And what I like to open each show with is, is to really dove deep into my guests, into their brain, that beautiful brain of yours. And don't worry, this won't hurt at all. To do is a lot of our level of success, or lack thereof, in my humble opinion, is really due to everything that's going on between our two ears. It's what's going on in our mind. And I know that you resonate with that because of the very business that we'll get into that you are in. But for you, when you get up in the morning and you know, like an entrepreneur, you'll always have arduous task awaiting there are not every day is rosy and sunshine and and sipping umbrella drinks while swaying back and forth on a hammock. It is there are times when there's work that has to be done. And knowing that and knowing you're going to hit setbacks, speed bumps, those kind of things, what is going on in your mind? Amanda Slate When you get up in the morning, that keeps you just driven no matter what, every single day, day in and day out.
Speaker4:
Well, that's a great question. I think, first of all, it is one, I love what I do. So, you know, I wake up in the morning and I'm an early bird, you know, like four or 5:00 in the morning. And I pretty much hit the ground running when that happens. But I take a moment and I make sure I sit down and really open it up and call in divine source. God, however you want to turn that, my spirit guides all those that help me from an ethereal level. And in that, that gets me in any kind of mindset. Even if I wake up feeling, Oh my God, I got all this stuff to do, I fall down and I get grounded and centered.
Speaker2:
And isn't that beautiful? Because that's the thing that a lot of people don't seem to think about is that we have a choice.
Speaker4:
We, all.
Speaker2:
Of us, everyone, and how we react to our current circumstance. Like you said, if you get up and you're not feeling great, something's not right. You still have a choice on how you react to that. And you just very eloquently said how you do it. And so what a great thing to model. We talked I talked about modeling in the onset of the show. That would be one oh, my gosh, a major one. Everyone watching and listening. That's a very important one because our mindset is so important. So I appreciate you for sharing that. I can already see this could be the entire show right there. It is that valuable? You're not.
Speaker4:
Kidding. Well, and I call it with my clients, it's a conscious choice because we we can be in choice. But sometimes people do choice through autopilot. Right. And they do it because of conditioning and programing or what they think they should do. And when you really are tuned in and tapped into yourself and knowing what's true for you, you can then make a conscious choice. Even if things are not going well, you can make a conscious choice that you can make it fun or you can be in a good mood about it or see the possibilities of it rather than spiral down into the doldrums.
Speaker2:
And is it it seems interesting to me that we seem to be wired by default to do the spiraling down. Isn't that interesting? Why is that? And do you have an opinion on why we tend to want that as a default behavior versus now we have to train ourselves to snap out of it and go the other way?
Speaker4:
Yes, I do. Well, first of all, that's from a humanity standpoint, from human beings standpoint, we are wired to operate through fear instead of through love. And we are also motivated through fear instead of love. We are conditioned and programed that way. This is the way that we are taught. This is the way that things were modeled to us and not saying anything wrong about that. But it's also part of the evolutionary process that we're going through because we're moving from a third dimensional kind of vibration, which is based on fear, survival in the past, being stuck in the past, most mostly. And instead of going into the fifth dimension, the bridge is the fourth dimension, but the fifth dimension operates through love and passion and joy, co-creation, collaboration. And it's a higher frequency. But if you if you notice what's going on in the world, there is this battle. We see it throughout the world because we're many are stuck in that third dimension, out of that fear and operate from fear and control and power. And there are many of us that are going know we want to live here and create through here. So.
Speaker2:
Yeah. It's like fear of change. Fear of there's even fear of success. My goodness, I've run into that a lot, which even myself, you know, you self-sabotage. You get right to that point where you're going to hit that step and suddenly go, Nope, not going to take that step. Don't know why. I'm like, Why did I just stop?
Speaker4:
There's always that can be again, conditioning programing, but it can be what's in your cellular memory because of past experiences, whether it's this lifetime or for those that do believe in past lives, there can be past like bleed through that are coming through that maybe you were successful in another lifetime or even this lifetime. And but something happened and it took it all away. So then you have that being held in your cellular memory and you go, Och, I'm going to keep trying to be successful. And you go to that 70, 80%, but you won't let yourself go to the ten, 20%, the ego, the mind takes over, the subconscious takes over and says, Oh, no, we're not going to go there because remember what happened last time and this is especially true in relationships and love. You know how people oh, I want to I want to be in relationship. I want love. I want that. And but there's so afraid of actually being loved or giving love.
Speaker2:
Yeah. And it's almost sad in a way, because it's what we were designed to do is to love, in my humble opinion, and to be harmonious with each other. And yeah, it's almost sad that many of us were conditioned. Nearly everybody. I can't think of anyone that I know, including myself, that wasn't conditioned in a different way than we were.
Speaker4:
We were conditioned through codependency. So we grew up in a codependent world and that codependency doesn't allow for us to really be our true self because we're so worried about what others are thinking or what other. Is it okay if I do this or if I say this? And in codependency too, we tend to over give overdue, over compensate or we're over responsible. And the codependency is looking for love and validation and approval from the outside instead of from within.
Speaker2:
Very, very interesting. Yes. So much. You said the fifth dimension. And we were talking about this before we went live. And I thought I didn't even know there was a fourth dimension where the fifth come from. And then you explained there was a bridge. But the way you explained the fifth dimension sounds like a wonderful place to me. I don't mind that I wouldn't want to be in that fifth dimension because I didn't hear one negative word in that dimension come out.
Speaker4:
When we're not playing that in. When you're in the fifth dimension doesn't mean that you're not going to have challenges, but it's how you deal with your challenges, like what we're just talking about with the conscious choice. And in the third dimension, you're actually again motivated by fear, but also by ambition. But sometimes it's blind ambition where when you go into the fourth dimension, things are based from meaning what's meaningful for you and meaningful work or that type of thing. But when you're in the fifth dimension, it's about being in soul alignment with what your soul's purpose and plan is and what you came here to do this lifetime.
Speaker2:
I love it. I love it. Soul alignment.
Speaker4:
Yes.
Speaker2:
Oh, my goodness. You know, I didn't even give you the proper introduction that you so deserve. I just completely I was so excited to bring you on. I think I'm going to back up and do that so people understand and get a better understanding of your your background, your accolades. Would that be okay with you?
Speaker4:
Amanda Yes, that'd be great.
Speaker2:
Goodness. I'm like, I've done this for over three years and I never do that. I never forget. So I'm going to blame it on you because I was excited and I'm kidding. It's not your fault. It's all mine. So here's the introduction. Everybody ready? When Amanda Slade's soul got her fired after attaining success as a VP of marketing and Sales for a New York publishing firm and 20 years in corporate, she did not have a Plan B and knew something was missing in her life. Amanda took a journey to discover she is an evolution catalyst and with their backgrounds she bridges the wow factor. I love that with the practical. She is the founder of CO-create Your Success and creator of the Diamond Co Creative System That's Trademarked So Don't Take It, which offers soul aligned possibilities and solutions. You can thrive and prosper in life and business. For over two decades, Amanda has facilitated energetic healing, transformation and spiritual growth with thousands of clients internationally. That's why I really wanted to get this out here. Traveling as far as Australia, you can't go much farther than Australia from the US is down under. Amanda is a contributing author to the number one international best selling anthology, Empowered Self Care, and has been featured on the Global Summit of the Shift Network as well as other tele summits, radio shows and podcasts. She's also speaks at business and spiritual events. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the stage after 20 minutes of talking. Oh, Amanda Slade.
Speaker5:
Yes, I know.
Speaker4:
I have a saying. It's never too late. I got married when I was 61, so it's never too late.
Speaker2:
Wait a minute. You know you're not 61. You're not? No.
Speaker5:
Well, no, that.
Speaker4:
Was five years ago.
Speaker2:
Now. Now, I really don't believe it. No way. No how. You do look truly amazing, I will tell you that. And the blue is wonderful on you. It is beautiful. So. Yeah, and you're radiant yet. So I want to I just want to make this point real quick here is. An example. This is a product of the product. She has chosen to live in the fifth dimension, where everything is a choice of positive reaction versus a negative reaction or a choice of empowerment and productivity and moving forward and a choice of abundance instead of scarcity. All of the wonderful things when you live in that space isn't life grand? I mean, compared to when you're in that third dimension, as you've described it, because like you say, many people are in that third dimension. I've been there. I live more in the fifth by your description, and it is such a much better place to live.
Speaker4:
Yeah. And again, it doesn't mean that there aren't dips or it doesn't mean that there aren't challenges that happen. But it becomes, well, how long am I going to stay in the dip like you were just talking about the scarcity or abundance? You know, I live in scarcity or I can live in the possibilities in abundance of what's to come, you know? And it doesn't mean that you don't have to take care of what's happening in the present moment. You do, but you do not have to be a victim to it.
Speaker2:
That's still happens, and it's all about how you react to it. And, you know, there's a saying that my mentor, I don't know if he originated it, but it was something to the effect of you can either let your circumstances control your attitude or you can let your attitude dictate your circumstances. And like you said, there are moments, you know, life happens, circumstances which are typically a negative thing in that context that happens. And we do need time to kind of assess it, to get over it. The cool thing is with what, Amanda, what you're talking about is a means of getting over it much quicker and then shifting your your all your energy back toward the where it was in the positive realm. Is that an accurate description?
Speaker4:
That's an accurate thing. But it's not just getting over it. It's actually dealing with what what did you attract that manifested your result in that moment? And so if you have certain things that you're attracting or certain things that are happening in your life that you do not like, then you have to look at it from an energetic standpoint, like what are you vibrating to? So if you're vibrating in victimhood or vibrating is scarcity or lack, then that's what you're going to keep on getting. But if you can raise your consciousness or raise your consciousness, but also raise your vibration to match what your desires are and your intentions are, then what happens is you start creating, manifesting what you truly want. You can take a really difficult situation and I think so many we've seen this all throughout the world is when you see as difficult situation or you go through a difficult situation, there's always a beautiful gem and gift within it. There's always another side of it. So you can stay over here for a long, long time. You can choose suffering and struggle, or you can say, okay, I'm going to move myself out of here, but it happens through alignment.
Speaker2:
You know, it's interesting that you say that because there has been something going on on this show and that that message in in a certain way has been a theme throughout. And what happened, it was so amazing because that very thing happened to me personally where I was doing something that I didn't know I wasn't in full alignment with. There was a positive thing. I was doing something good. It just wasn't my passion. And when I realized by the help of many friends, including my wife, in a one month period, I was given four different people tell me the same thing in different ways. I finally realized, Oh my God, they're right. I like doing this instead of what I'm doing now. And I literally just completely walked away from that previous business model and I got rid of the website, deleted it the following day, and it had a lot on it, a lot of videos. I used to I was a certified personal trainer and I developed a workout regimen and all of them were done on video in one day. I just swept them out, gone, and I felt zero remorse. I knew I did the right thing and I finally hit that spot. What you're talking about that I never really knew what it was because I hadn't reached it yet. And I just say that to help others, that if you haven't felt that yet, then it's like that, that kind of thing. When you meet your what you it's going to be your spouse. If you're going to marry them, you'll know if you're if you love them, you'll know it's kind of like that. You'll know if you're in the right space. And if you don't feel that, then maybe it's time to look at other things that you're more passionate about. Maybe ask others who know you really, really well to say, What am I missing? What do you think? What is that sound? Does that ring?
Speaker4:
Absolutely. Well, I was just looking at one of the questions that we were going to talk about. Like you said, how do you know what's what's the best? How long do you stick with an idea before giving up? Right. Before giving it up, yeah, it really is, is that if the energy is there and you feel energized by it, one of the things I teach is called the compassion test. If you think of compassion, break it down into three words compass, passion, pass. If you use compassion as let's say you're contemplating something, have an idea or you've been working on something, but it doesn't seem to be going anyplace or someone makes a request of you if you feel into it. If you take a breath and just take a moment and feel into it, then what you can do is OC with this in mind and as I feel into it, do do I feel energized? Do I feel uplifted? Do I feel inspired? Is it moving? Do I want to follow that energy? And if the answer is yes, that's the passion part. But if the answer is no, you're going to feel depleted, drained, don't feel good. It's it's just not moving. And that's when you just know that it's not yours to do. And when you do know it's yours to do what you keep on. Just asking is what's the next step? And in the next step, you know, I, I talk about the universe gives you the next step if you ask.
Speaker2:
Yeah. And that was the key. If you act. Yes, you keep taking action.
Speaker4:
You go ask and take action.
Speaker2:
Yeah. And then take it. Once you get the answer, don't ignore it.
Speaker5:
Right.
Speaker4:
Exactly right. Well, and if you do ignore it, if you kept on doing that business, if you kept on eventually what would happen to you energetically? You would start getting worn out, tired, you could get sick, maybe an accident. Something would happen to get your attention. I mean, that's how the universe works. But when we do things that are not in alignment, and I'm not saying at times we don't have to do certain things because we have to do certain things maybe to pay the bills or do that. I'm not saying that from a you know, just this factor. You do do that. But even if you have to do that, can you make it to can you embrace it that you see the gift in it and there's fun in it? There's joy. It's it's serving you in some way. And it's not only serving you, it's serving others in another way.
Speaker2:
And thank you for clarifying that that yeah. It doesn't mean that all of life is going to be roses and perfect and you'll never have a bad moment or a bad day by any stretch. Does it mean. It doesn't mean that, but it does mean like when you do hit those those ruts, if it is something you're really passionate about, you'll get through those ruts over them and pass them much easier with and then you'll be once again happy on the other end. I mean, I just went through some personal issues with family lately, and I would never wish all of this on anyone. They were health related in both cases, and it just drained me completely. I had nothing left in the tank and I remember thinking about my business at that moment. At that moment I thought, Man, I don't know if I want to do this business anymore because I was in a horrible state. The interesting thing I found, Amanda, is when I kind of came out of it, it took about three weeks. It was a long, horrible journey. But when I got through it. And I was able to kind of see over the horizon again. And I thought about the business.
Speaker2:
I thought, no way am I quitting this. I love doing this. And so that was another thing to say. I've got it, I've got the right thing. I'm holding onto it with both hands. The previous one, yeah, I did have those days more often than I would care to admit that they were arduous. They were like, Oh, I don't want to do this today. Like getting on and doing this show. I love what I get to do. This is just one tiny piece of everything that's involved in my whole business model, and this is the tiny piece. But I love I love every aspect of it. This is one of my faves. I get to talk to wonderful people like you, and I learn so much every single time. So it's a lot of fun. And I say all that not to boast or brag, like, look at me, I've got such a great life because we all have these issues that go on in our lives. But it is possible for you if you haven't found that thing that really moves your needle. Don't worry. Keep. Keep plugging. Keep going. Keep searching. Keep asking. Keep asking questions of those that are closest to you.
Speaker4:
So I would say not only those closest with you, say do it with yourself. And what that means is the suggestion I would have with that is if you don't have a spiritual practice like meditation, I would bring that in because when you sit in meditation, you're putting the question out. You know, that's usually the prayer is putting the question out. Meditation is receiving the answer. So being in quiet space or being out in nature, everyone's different. How the how that works for them. But meditation be a one way journaling would be another. The key piece is connecting with your self within connecting to your soul's essence because your soul and all those that are around you. I talked about my spirit guides and and the universe are there to help you, but they have to be invited in to help. So I would say sit with yourself first then yes, you can ask others or listen to what others are saying. But the bottom line is it's listening to your heart and your intuition, your knowingness, because you know more, you know more, you know better than someone else does for you.
Speaker2:
I love it. Yeah, and that's true. Ultimately, you do know, I mean, when all these people came to me and told me these stories or these things they had observed about me, I was the one that decided if they if I thought they were true or not. Right. Just be true in that case. That was awesome. And you just reminded me of a gentleman I had on the show some time ago. His name, Jay Bradley. He he does he specializes in Breathwork. And when you're talking about meditation, it's kind of like hit that reset button, spend some time on your self for yourself because that's, you know, meditation breathwork it all has a similar effect when it's all said and done. It was like the the weight of the shore of the world was lifted off my shoulders. I went through some sessions with them and. I was like unbelievably revitalized and ready to go and clean. It was like I just felt cleaned out. And meditation can do that as well, as well as give you the answers you're looking for. So I love that you're saying all this because it just rings true, all of this together. Would you recommend people go? Are there different types of these approaches that you deem that would be better than others, or is that up to the individual? When I talk about like meditation breathwork, there's EFT, there's all kinds of different approaches to getting into with oneself.
Speaker4:
Yeah, there's different approaches and I think you have to kind of experiment with it. One of the things that happened for me when I live well, my soul got me fired from corporate. I didn't have a plan B, so I spent three years after that doing a lot of healing, energetic, healing work, going to different workshops, learning different tools and techniques. But then what happened was I ended up downloading what is called the diamond co-creative system and and that was back in 2001. That is all based on sacred geometry. Now, why is that key? Sacred geometry is the construct of the universe. It's how everything is made, including ourselves. If you even look at sure it's out there made and from a sole essence level, we're we're as an outgrowth of the divine. Our whole energetic makeup is based on love. It gets skewed over time, but it's the basis is love. And the sacred geometry of love is the hologram of love as well as Metatron. Q So the system that I developed is based on sacred geometry and also spirituality, universal principles. So what it does is it helps you then realign back to love, realign back to who you truly are. And it also helps you with manifesting because if, if you're not energetically aligned like what we were talking earlier vibration only then and you're not a match but the system helps you do is get to that match point and it helps you with that. So the system is used for helping people open up awareness and connection with themselves. So when they're in meditation or even they can have it on their walls because the geometry is made up of the system is made up of what we call energy codes and the code, if you will, for certain types of qualities and purposes.
Speaker4:
So we have the power energy code, right, or the connection energy code, and they're configured in different ways. They're added. They are combined in different ways for for different purposes. But what it does so is it's with that awareness and connection. But then also, let's say what we talked about earlier, Brian, where we're saying if you're from a if you have a condition, you're in programing that's not in alignment with what you really want to create or really who you truly are. You have to do the healing work on that. And that's the energetic realignment work and the transformation work that the system provides, but then it also offers. The other piece is actually manifesting what you want because of one of the tools within the system. So it's a very in-depth, but it's also simple and easy to use system that can help with that. And I we combine in all different ways and part of what we'll be doing is sharing a little bit of that on a free retreat that I'll be having in April called living you're all and but it's just it's an amazing tool. It's an amazing technology with tools and techniques that really work. I mean, they do I used to be super codependent, had major abandonment and rejection issues. And what I realized was I knew that was running me. And so I was really feeling empowered and I definitely was living in the third dimension. And, and as I started using the. And doing the energetic, healing and transformation work with it. It shifted everything, and that doesn't run me anymore.
Speaker2:
That's phenomenal. So what I want to do is take the opportunity to go a little bit deeper into what you do, who you do it for. Like, is it one on one? Is it group is a corporate entities, that kind of thing. And then if you can think of pull up your website as we do this, if you can think of a success story or two that you would be willing to share with us, that someone got some great results, we'd love to hear that as well.
Speaker4:
Yeah, great. Thank you. So. Typically I work with most of my clients are women. Doesn't mean that I don't work with men and they usually are coming because they feel like something's missing. There's something know maybe they've already been really successful, but something is missing or they're ready to upgrade up level into something more. And. And as you. As they come to me. What what they're really looking for is to be connected to themselves. And there's definitely healing and transformation work to be done. And what I found is that utilizing the system and teaching them how to use it themselves is the best way of doing it, both in one on one work, as well as one of the signature programs that I have is called Evolve Year All. And that's really about evolving into your all meaning the absolute light and love that you are, but also you're all everything that you would like in your life, you know, your life, your business, your relationships. So what has happened with this is that with this signature program, it's five months to series of five months. And I'm teaching elevation principles and codes to people how to operate, live and create within the fifth dimension. So that's that's mostly what either the one and one the evolve your all and I did see when you were going through the website there is a trip that I have coming up it's a destination retreat to Bimini to swim with the Dolphins and that's June 5th, 19 through the 25th.
Speaker4:
And I still have a few spots left, but it is very much about opening your heart and living in joy and really moving into the authentic authenticity that you are and what you just see right there vibrate to radiance, elevate your health and well-being. That is a series that I'm co teaching with another gal, and we're teaching people how to work with their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual ways to take care of it and elevate your health and well-being to the fifth dimension, but also to really be vibrant, strong regardless of what's going on out there. And there's the living. You're all free retreat. Thank you for showing that. That's April night, fourth through ninth. It's 9:09 a.m. to 1015, only 775 minutes a day. And that will give you an introduction into the system, but also an introduction into some other things. And there's the Bimini retreat that I was talking about and the Where We Go, it's the company that hosts us talk about nurturance and talk about self care. I mean, we go out on the boat every single day for six days and go swim with the dolphins. We're in these beautiful waters. And then for those of you that understand past lives and so on, this is actually the ancient lands and waters of Atlantis. So there are some things that we'll be doing around that to. So.
Speaker2:
Wow, Atlantis.
Speaker5:
Yes.
Speaker2:
Fantastic. Well, thank you so much for describing all that. And I failed to mention that Amanda herself has a gift for everyone close up shop for the evening, which, my gosh, I just look at the time. We're already approaching that. That's always a sign of having a good time, in my opinion.
Speaker5:
Right.
Speaker4:
You know, you asked about an example. Can I just I just want to give a quick example. So I have a client that came to me just probably three or four months ago, and she was in a world of hurt. I mean, she had a marriage that was falling apart. She didn't know who she was. She just she was she just she was a hot mess, so to speak. And she would even say that about herself. And within two months, you could already see the shifts. And in four months, there was a whole new person that would arrive for her sessions at doing via Zoom. But she would arrive and there was this whole new radiance of who she is now. And then the evolution and the expansion that she's going into is amazing. And then that's part of the healing and transformation, but also the other pieces. And this is part of the kind of segue into that free. That free gift I'm giving everyone is the manifestation template which helps people manifest what they want in life. And people have used it to manifest homes. We did it with our home. Manifest relationships, manifest money, manifest their jobs. And and when you use this tool, I literally have a whole bunch of manifestation templates up here for different parts of the business as well as my life. And when you use this tool, there's an alchemical process that happens. You're giving it to the universe and the universe is saying, okay, we got this, and the universe now will conspire with you and advocate for you. So I love this tool in there and you can get it at this co-create your success dot com backslash, manifest your all and it gives you the template plus ways to use it and examples and so on. And it's really one of the most powerful tools that I've ever seen to be used for manifestation.
Speaker2:
I love it and thank you so much for offering that free gift. You know what that means? We have a bomb dropping moment. I mean, knowledge, bombs, bombs of wisdom, everything you can imagine. Amanda has brought it to the table here tonight, and I appreciate you for doing that. So that Earl, one more time. For those of you that might not see it on the screen, especially those of you listening on podcast, it is co create your success dot com forward slash. I have to look around my thing here manifest your all all together the last part after the forward slash be sure it is all lowercase very important so co-create your success dot com forward slash manifest you are all be sure to go there free gift Thank you Amanda from from the amazing Amanda slate I mean, come on what else could you possibly want? There's a lot more. And one of the things you could possibly want is if you have not found your passion. We just found the key. We just found the key. And the key resides right here dressed in blue. We will help you to find out what your passion is. And so I love how you secretly snuck that one in there as like, oh, my gosh, I didn't even know that was part of what you did. That is amazing to me. That that is something that you do is elicit what their true passion is, help them to get to that passion for themselves. Am I representing that properly?
Speaker4:
Amanda Oh, absolutely, yeah. It's really helping them tap into, Oh, this is who I am. Because like when I left corporate, I only identified myself as a VP of Sales Marketing. I had no idea what who Amanda was, what I wanted, what I was passionate about, because I only lived my life through shoulds. So four letter word, right? And so I didn't understand when people would say, Well, what do you want? I'd go, I don't know. You know, now if they ask me if my husband even really, I have to ask you that you're telling me what you want. But yeah, I definitely help people tap into that souls essence their passion and really what their plan souls plan is for them. Because many times people think they're on that and they are to a point. But there's another piece. I mean, that's one of the things that has kept me on track with what my business for 20 years is, because I keep tapping into what this is what I'm here to do. I'm here to share the diamond co-creative system, change one person at a time, help them soul by soul, and also to then teach others. We have a new accreditation program that we just launched for coaches and practitioners and teachers, so others can go out there, so it can be that ripple effect. So, you know, and helping them tap into their passion and their mission of what they're here to do.
Speaker2:
You just you just wonder if you're watching this. Do you think Amanda is at all passionate about what she does? I love it. It's so it just it just flows right through the screen. And that's always a good sign when you are looking for someone to help you. Be sure they have the amount of passion Amanda does. And I wouldn't suggest that you reach out to Amanda directly and ask for her services. I wouldn't suggest that at all. Wink, wink.
Speaker4:
But definitely anyone that's listening when they go to the website, they'll see a little box that comes up and they can actually book a 30 minute free consult called Create Your Call.
Speaker5:
So just say.
Speaker2:
I wanted to give it merit. I hit the wrong button. I want to bring up the website of the gift. Just so people know when they've arrived. And here it is. It's that coke. Co-create your success. Dotcom forward slash manifest your all. This is what you'll see when you arrive there. Sorry if you're listening on podcast, but write this URL down and visit it and you'll see the banner at the top. Manifest all. And here is the schedule now box. I believe that's the one you were referring to. Amanda Bottom, right.
Speaker4:
Oh yeah. Bottom, right. Yep.
Speaker2:
You schedule a chat, pull up her calendar, I'm sure. Here it comes. Wait for it. There it is. Oh, my goodness. It's just different service.
Speaker4:
Oh, there's all kinds of different services. But the top two and I put the zoom on, I like seeing people and but yeah they can book that 30 minute consult.
Speaker2:
Fantastic. Yeah, definitely do that if you're watching or listening, definitely write that down. If you haven't already, go back and play it again. I've repeated it about 20 times so far, so I'm just having fun with you. And you can see that she's had results. She's got folks that have reached out and said, I want to say thank you and this is what you've done for me. They're all over our website. Everywhere you go. That's always another good sign that you're with the person that knows what they're doing and getting the results. That's the bottom line to everything in life. Are you getting the results that you came for? And by my estimation, when you come to Amanda Slate, you will get just that. You will get the results that you're looking for and she will tell you what to expect. She's a pro. She knows what she's doing. And that's the beautiful thing. You can just rest assured and just give yourself to her as far as lead me into what I need to do and I just want the result and look at her. You can tell she doesn't bite and if she does it well.
Speaker4:
And I think one of the things that my clients say is, you know, because many times they're coming to me feeling pretty broken. Right, and worn down. And all they feel from me is love, acceptance and compassion. So even when they feel like, oh, well, I didn't do the homework or I didn't do this, I'm like, Come here, you know? And not that I don't do a kick your butt once in a while, but but it's pretty much they just know that they're safe when they come and work with me. And there's a big trust factor that's between clients.
Speaker2:
So and definitely correction and discipline are core components of love. It's not all just lovey dovey and hugs and stuff if if necessary, it's not always necessary, but if necessary, there's correction and discipline. And you can tell that she does it with love. And that's that's the beautiful thing I've had that been the receiving end of discipline or correction, I would call it in the case I'm thinking of. And it really didn't feel good at the moment. I'm sure yours feel good, but this one did not feel good. But I did some retrospect and realized I know this person is coming from a space of love. They're doing this to help me. And that got me right over it and quickly back into the driver's seat and roll it on.
Speaker4:
And, you know, when people are hitting up against a wall and feel resistance, that's where I just coach them, mentor them through the resistances, your ego, your egos. You know, it kind of likes where it's sat because it knows this. But what I'm what I'm putting out to you is it doesn't know what's on that other side. It's the unknown. And that fear of the unknown, the ego goes, Oh, no, no, no, we'll just keep with this. This is familiar. Even if it's super uncomfortable, they stay with it. And so I just kind of gently help them push him along with that. And sometimes they don't like it. You know, my ego doesn't like it too, you know, I've been through it myself, so I get it. But you want to make friends with you ego and lift it up into the divine mind.
Speaker2:
Yeah. So you can take that first step onto that fourth dimensional bridge and start crossing over.
Speaker4:
You got it.
Speaker2:
Which is a beautiful sight. I love the whole description of it. Oh, my goodness. We're coming up at the end. And I did not forget. We're going to reveal how to win that five night state of five star luxury resort in just a moment. But what I like to do, Amanda, is I like to end every show with this one very powerful question. And I've done this for a number of years now, and I didn't do this from the beginning, but I learned after doing it several times, I asked this one question. I just remembered the answers being very profound. And I thought, Wow. So I began with the concept of ending every show with this question because it's such a wonderful way to end it. It's it's a powerful way. And we'll get to that in just a minute. So I will get to the price and then we're going to come back and ask. That that earth shattering question. No, it's not that. It's not that. So real quick. With your permission, I'm going to bring up how you can win a five night stay at a five star luxury resort compliments of the big insider secrets dot com. Jason asked my good buddy, so I want you to do this, write this URL down and we'll give it a couple of hours after the show's over. You can still submit your entry to win so you can relax. Just write this down, because I don't want you to miss this final question.
Speaker2:
All right. So here it is. I'll bring it up on the screen right now for those of you watching live. And that is go to this URL. After you write this down and after the show is over, go to our ship. I am for vacation and that's ripe for such vacation. Enter to win. And just as a side note, Amanda guest hosts are allowed to enter it. Well, yes, I've had one win before. It's pretty awesome. Everybody would love to enter. We hold nobody back. Sorry, I am for such vacation. Go ahead and write that down and enter it after the show's over and we're at that point. So, Amanda, this this question here's one of the really, really cool things about it is there is no such thing. It doesn't exist. There's no such thing as a wrong answer. In fact, the exact opposite is the truth, which is the only correct answer is yours. And so it's unique to you. It makes it kind of personal, but only because it's unique to you. And here's the other thing. If you come across the answer in an instant or if you come across the answer after 10 seconds, 20 seconds, a minute, 5 minutes, guess what? It's perfect because it's your answer. It doesn't matter. So we can go through that silence. It's okay. Whatever it is for you is perfect. And this is your time to shine. So are you ready, Amanda Slate.
Speaker4:
Yes, I am. Bring it on.
Speaker2:
Love it. She is ready. All right, here we go. Amanda Slay. How do you define. Success.
Speaker5:
Hmm.
Speaker4:
I defy. You know, if you asked me that ten years ago, it would have been different. As you notice, my website is called CO-create Your Success. Success for me is very much about. Being in my authenticity. Feeling fulfillment and contentment and serving others through love. I call my team that I have on my staff. The sole team and the sole team is serving others with within unified love. For me, that is success. When we can do that and when we can be such an impact, positive impact and influence to helping others be uplifted, to expand the consciousness of humanity, and also to help this beautiful planet that we live on.
Speaker2:
Hmm. You know what's coming, don't you?
Speaker4:
Hmm?
Speaker5:
Hmm. Yes.
Speaker2:
Wow. Smart bombs. Bombs of wisdom, not bombs. All from the one and only Amanda Slade. Amanda, I can't express to you how much I appreciate you for coming on to the show this evening and talking with me and our audience live, which for some is a daunting thing to do. You had it. You were like, amazing. You're a pro at this. You brought some incredible value, have gifts. And the thing is, is I learned a ton and I know so many others will. I had never heard of this thing called. What was it again? It was sacred geometry. I'm like, What is that? That is pretty cool. It's probably I probably just have been living under a rock and it's been well known to everybody else. I just don't I've never heard of it myself. But that's the beautiful thing about doing this show for myself. Now, I recommend everyone have their own show, whether a podcast or a live video, either one, because you learn and you grow as a result of meeting amazing people like Amanda Slate. That's why I say that is because of people like Amanda that you get to grow, that you get to improve. And it's just a gift. It's a gift. I didn't charge Amanda to come on. She could have charged me because she has taught all this. Amazing. So appreciate you, Amanda. Is there any last parting word you would like to give as say let's say a word of advice to someone who might be struggling and they're not sure what direction their life should go. Is there something you would like to part ways and give them this last thing to think about, as we call it, a night?
Speaker4:
Yes, I would say that for any problem that you have, there is always a solution. The universe doesn't give us a problem or a challenge without there being the opposite of a solution to it. And I say so. So ul lution. And when you can be quiet enough and tap into your soul's essence, then you can hear what the answer is. And the next. Even if it's a baby step, that baby step will get you to the next step.
Speaker2:
And then it on the fifth generation note of there is hope and you are in a state of abundance when you're around. Amanda Slay, thank you so.
Speaker5:
Much, Amanda.
Speaker2:
For everyone out there, we appreciate your time and love you all for coming on and watching and listening. Until next time on the Mind Body Business Show. We have another one coming up next week.

Narrator :
So, here's the big question. How are entrepreneurs like us, who have been hustling and struggling to make it to success, who seem to make it one step forward, only to fall two steps back. Who are dedicated, determined, and driven. How do we finally break through and win? That is the question, and this podcast will give you the answers. My name is Brian Kelly, and this is The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show.
Brian Kelly:
Hello, everyone, and welcome, welcome, welcome to The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. Super excited for tonight's show. We have not just one, not two, not three, but four, four amazing guest experts who are joining me tonight right here on this very stage.
Brian Kelly:
They are waiting in the wings at this moment. So let's get busy. Shall we? The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show, that is a show about what I call the three pillars of success, and that came about as a result of my study of only successful people in the last decade or so. And these patterns kept bubbling to the top and those patterns being mine, which is mindset set. Each and every successful person, to a person, had a very powerful and flexible mindset. So I learned that and said," I need to implement that". Then body: body is about literally taking care of yourself. Through nutrition and through exercise, exercising on a regular basis, and again that was another pattern of very successful people and in business. These successful people had mastered the skill-sets that were necessary to create, maintain, and grow a thriving business. They're wide and varied. It's like marketing, sales, team-building, systematizing. It goes on and on and on, leadership. There's no one person, in my humble opinion, that could master every single one of these. All you have to do is master just one, and I actually mentioned one of those. It was in that list. I don't know if anyone caught that, but if you master just one of those skill sets then you're good to go. That skill set is leadership. When you've mastered the skill set of leadership, you can then delegate those skills off to people who have those skill sets. See where I'm going? Good. That's what successful people do; the ones that I studied, anyway, over the course of about 10 years. That's what this show's about. It's a show for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs. I got four guests waiting, and I'm not going to wait any longer. So, I think we should just bring them on. What do you think? Let's do it.
Narrator :
It's time for the guest expert spotlight, savvy, skillful, professional and deft, trained, big league, qualified.

Just lay it low here, but we'll just go and order. I usually go ladies first, but let's just go around the circle. It's easier for me who's running the show. So. That's what's important. Right? So, let's start with Dylan Shinholser. Go ahead. Take it away. Give us a little brief background about you, what you do, and your business.
Dylan Shinholser:
Yeah, absolutely. So like I said, my name is Dylan Shinhoser. I own a couple of different businesses. I'm owner of a company called, "Experience Events", which is event management. I'm also a director of business development at a virtual event, event ticketing, and virtual event platform called, "ViewStub". As well as a co-host of another show called, "Event Masters", where I just ramble all day, every day about how to produce better experiences. It's really all I know and love to do is events. That is my less than 60-second pitch about myself.
Brian Kelly:
That's a good one, too. I'll tell everybody I've spoken with you in person. We had a call some time ago, and this gentleman, Dylan, is made of integrity and great character. So, reach out to him if you need any assistance in any of the areas he talked about, or if you just want to say hi to a really great guy. Then get in contact with him, and at the end of the show, we'll go through that. Please. Somebody remind me if I forget how to contact each of you. Because that's very important to me. This is the reason I bring this show to the forefront. (It) is to bring people like you into the lives of those who may not know who you are yet, and even those that do, to experience even more of your brilliance, your experience, your knowledge, and your value. It's not about me. This is about you. Always, always. Every time. I have one guest, usually. I just feel like I'm in this big family right now. But let's keep moving. Julie Riley, amazing young woman. Take it away.
Julie Riley:
Yes. So, I am Julie Riley. I am the social media manager at StreamYard. The platform we're using right now. Prior to my time with StreamYard, I owned my own marketing agency. I've been in digital marketing since two thousand and seven. So the very, very early days of the start of it is when I jumped in(to) digital marketing, and I love just being able to help others succeed in their business.
Brian Kelly:
Fantastic, and I will also say that I have spoken with Julie in the past. Both through a typewritten chat form and verbally. I think it was Clubhouse first time, which was phenomenal. Yet another phenomenal person, incredible integrity, and character. And yes, you're going to notice there's a pattern about this with the remaining two. It's the same thing. Hopefully, we can get the last one to talk a little bit. That will be nice. I'm just having fun because we were having fun before the show started. The one smiling. The biggest down there with the green hood; not pointing anyone out or anything. Thank you, Julie, for coming on. Yes. These people, Julie and Christian specifically, I know Christians coming up here in second. They're non-stop. They don't stop working. It's evident because of the very software research we're using right now. It's of grand quality for a reason. It's because of people like Julian Christian who keep everything rolling smoothly on the back end. Dylan's there nodding his head emphatically because he gets it. It's a lot of work, and they're doing it masterfully and we appreciate you. All right. Enough of the favoritism here that felt like favoritism. Julie's our favorite. Timothy McNeely! My buddy, my friend from just a little north of where I reside. I believe. If I remember.
Timothy McNeely:
Central California, baby. Bakersfield. Yeah, my name is Tim McNeely. Today, so many dentists and driven entrepreneurs are just not sure if they're getting advice that really makes a difference for them. They may have a financial adviser who is giving them some advice on their investment portfolio, but they're not really sure that they're on the right track to really maximize their net worth outside of their business. That's what I help them do. Maximize your net worth so that you can keep taking care of the people you love, support the causes you care about, really make that difference in the world, and build an amazing life of significance. I love doing streaming because I get to talk to some of the best of the best out there and share the knowledge with the beautiful entrepreneurial community.
Brian Kelly:
I'll tell you something on a personal note as well. Literally, we talked earlier today, Tim and I, on a Zoom call. He just reached out to me and said, "let's catch up." I had him on the show some time ago as a single, solo guest, and he was phenomenal. We've just kind of maintained a relationship, a friendship ever since. He just wanted to reach out and say, "Hi" and "What's up? What do you want to talk about?" We just started talking about business and things. He gave me resources that will help me in my business, and hopefully, I reciprocated it somehow. I don't know if I did, but it is the people like Tim, like Julie, like Dylan, like Christian. That is the cloth that they are all cut from. They are here to help people. That's why I love entrepreneurs. I love all of you. I mean it. I do. I love you. You guys are amazing. I didn't even get a crack at a Christian on that one. Jeez, I mean... there we go. That's a little better, but I'm telling you, he's working on StreamYard our stuff right now as we're on the show. I mean, I'm.
Christian Karasiewicz:
I'm really trying not to, seriously.
Brian Kelly:
The founder Geige Vandentop. If you ever watch this, there's a message to you. Ease up on your people. Alright? Just having fun. Alright, Timothy, you're an amazing guy. Thank you for spending your valuable time and coming on here. As well as Dylan, Julie, and the ever so talkative one, Christian. I'm not going to attempt to say your last name. I'll let you take care of that one. Welcome to the show, Christian. Let's hear all about your brilliance.
Christian Karasiewicz:
Sure. Thanks a lot for having me. My name is Christian Kerasiewicz. I'm the content marketing manager at StreamYard. So, pretty much anything you see on our blog that we're going to soon be launching. I'm the mastermind behind that. So, I do that. In addition to that, I also host live stream reviews, a YouTube show. We also do on the StreamYard YouTube channel where we invite people on to talk about their live streams and help them work through some of their problems, some of their challenges that they might be having with getting community or building a show. Thanks a lot for having me. I appreciate it.
Brian Kelly:
Oh, my gosh. Thank you again, Christian, for your time and being here. I mean, he's literally building a blog while on a live show. I mean, that's a great thing. I'm not even kidding with this one. That is phenomenal. That is showing such dedication. So, it's more than that. It's passion. It's love. You know? What time is that where you are, Christian?
Christian Karasiewicz:
About 9 o'clock, or yeah... about 9 o'clock.
Brian Kelly:
(Nine o'clock) PM. Ladies and gentlemen, in case you're watching this recording. Yes. By the way, I'm going to be on twenty-five different platforms after this is over. So no pressure, but don't mess up. I'm just kidding. So, this is a phenomenal group of people, and I can't wait to dig in. Christian, just what you just said, what you do is right down the alley of what I was hoping to talk about tonight. It'll go organically, but I wanted to talk about... I mean, look at Julie, and look at Christian, and look at their images. Look at their video. It is gorgeous. Here, we'll start with a really gorgeous one first. Look at that. I mean. If there were nose hairs that weren't in place, we'd see them. That's phenomenal, and there is Julie. Wow. Very beautiful. Even more beautiful. I should just have her up like this all the time, and we can just talk in the background. Because, you know, maybe more people would come on. So, you guys have phenomenal camera setups, and here's one thing I always like to preach to those who are getting into the live streaming game. Does it take money? Yes, it does. It takes resources. It takes cameras, microphones, (a) computer, internet, good internet, fast internet, lighting, doesn't have to be fancy. What I always say though, is, do the best you can with the resources you currently have. OK, I wanted to start it off that way because what we're about to talk about with Julie and Christian is their cameras. They are top of the line. We're not talking a one-hundred or two-hundred-dollar webcam here. I like to let ladies go first. So, Julie, do you have a story when you first turned on your new camera versus when you had the webcam and what that looked like and felt like.
Julie Riley:
Oh, my gosh, I turned that camera on, and it was immediately noticeable (the difference). I actually did a live on my personal Facebook page where I logged myself in as a second user into StreamYard. I had my Logitech camera that I had been using up as a camera and then had my new one. So, I could do back and forth and show everybody the difference between the two. What an upgrade that was. The Logitech served me great for years. It didn't stop me from going live, but that upgrade was immediately like, "oh, I can never go back down now".
Brian Kelly:
So, that so that is one thing. Let's say you're on the road, and I can imagine at some point both you and Christian, maybe, you'll be sent on the road to maybe support conventions and things that are on the road. Now, you want to stream live, what are you going to do then?
Julie Riley:
Well, you know, the great thing about the Sony is (that) it's a small camera. Tripods, portable ones, are small. I can take it with me. If all else fails, and I'm either on my phone or I'm on my little webcam or even my built in webcam, it's not going to stop me from going live. Is it going to be exactly what I want? No, but more than likely I'll have the Sony with me.
Brian Kelly:
Thank you for saying that. I mean, that spoke such volumes. I hope people are taking notes that are watching. Definitely take notes on this. Because, look, the show must go on. That's what I say, and this show tonight is the result of a guest who unfortunately was ill and could not make it on. So, I scrambled and found these four wonderful people to say, "I'll come on and do a panel with you." And that's it. The show must go on, and I'm going to either do it with people or I'll do it solo. It doesn't matter. Consistency is key, and we can talk more about that, too. I love how you're just talking about, Julie. Where, look, I don't care where I'm at. If I've got something and it's my time to go live, and I don't have my gear. I'm doing it.
Julie Riley:
Right.
Brian Kelly:
I love that commitment. So, thank you for that. For everyone listening, that's important. Yes, quality is important. Like I said, do the best you can with what resources you currently have. That includes, wherever you are. You may have a DSL camera that Julie paid five-hundred thousand dollars for. Oh, sorry, it wasnt that much.
Julie Riley:
Thank God it wasnt that much!
Brian Kelly:
What was the model of that again?
Julie Riley:
A6000.
Brian Kelly:
What does it run about?
Julie Riley:
It was about seven hundred.
Brian Kelly:
OK, not too bad. A little bit less than five-hundred thousand. Not much but yeah.
Julie Riley:
Yeah.
It's a phenomenal thing, and I love that that's your attitude toward commitment. I'll tell you. You have a similar attitude...anytime I go and ask for support through the back side of StreamYard community. I mean, like through messaging. When I say the backside, that's sounded weird. When I ask for support, you're always there. I mean, you don't sleep, and I appreciate that. So, keep not sleeping for everybody's sake. Christian, you do the same. So, Christian, what about you? When you made that initial change from whatever camera you had before to this unbelievably clear one year look you're working with right now. What did that feel like the moment you saw a difference?
Christian Karasiewicz:
So, it's very interesting actually. So, this is actually what I was using before. I've been using this for quite a number of years. This is a Logitech Brio. It does do 4K. I invested in this one and eventually came out, and the quality was fantastic. The only thing was, though. I wanted to scale. So this was great for traveling, for example. This is what I took around with me. Super portable. It's got the ability to put it on a tripod. Fantastic, but it did not allow me to scale, so I had to always take up another USB port and all that sort of thing. When I moved to the Sony, the Sony looked very good. I will say the one thing you have to do, though, is you need to go through the settings. There are a few adjustments you want to change. That's what's going to actually enhance your picture quality of it. It's a fantastic camera. It's a Sony 6400. Then, really, the other side to it is also the lens. So I'm using a Sigma lens. So, that I think is the real big difference. I mean you have the kit lenses it comes with. I did make the investment in the the additional lens, which I think that's actually what's contributing to why it looks so good. I will say from a quality standpoint, again, start with what you have. You know, the key things for live streaming. Audio is going to be your most important part. Then also, if you, for example, are using one of these webcams, make sure you have enough light. These things look great with a lot of light. When you don't have a lot of light, you're going to see pixelation. You're going to see distortion and things like that. So, turn it back to you.
Brian Kelly:
Especially with light, if you turn on the green screen feature, you really need to have good lighting then. That's the biggest time. I'm so glad to be liberated from that. Even though I loved it. This is actually a natural well behind me. I painted the entire studio. I actually occupy my daughter's former bedroom. I've been here for four or five years now, and I finally got rid of the cartoon drawings and the yellow paint. I'm a real boy now. I have a real studio. This is awesome.
Christian Karasiewicz:
That looks really good by the way. I was very surprised (by) your background because that looks like one of the standard backgrounds people would normally bring up during a live stream. One that has, you know, the gradient going around the outside. So, whoever did the painting on that fantastic job.
Brian Kelly:
Why, thank you very much. My wife did most of the work to be honest, but I feel like that helps with that. Yeah.
Timothy McNeely:
If you want that comparison between cameras. Right. Christine was just talking about the Logitech Brio. That's what I'm on, and you can see the massive quality difference between Kristen and Julie versus the webcam. So. Right. (A) huge step up.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah, we'll point that out in glowing detail right now.
Christian Karasiewicz:
You're using a green screen. Right?
Timothy McNeely:
Yeah.
Brian Kelly:
Your sound, Christian, is smooth. I mean, you have a great radio voice. Having that microphone, I think will pivot to that too. Dylan, what are your thoughts on cameras? Yours looks actually really decent right now? You're on (a) green screen, correct?
Dylan Shinholser:
Correct. Yeah.
Brian Kelly:
It looks really clean. You've done a good job with all the lighting. It's almost like you've done this before, and you know what you're doing.
Dylan Shinholser:
I try. Yeah. So, I actually when I first started doing it, I started listening back on my phone. When this whole pandemic hit, I was using the one inside your laptop and realized very quickly (that) I'm on calls all day, live streaming shows and stuff. I was like, "I got to set my game up." So, I haven't made that leap yet to the DSLR, but I will. I'm on a Logitech, one of the models. I won't even lie because I'm not that tech-savvy. It was expensive for Logitech, so I bought it. I was like, "it's got to work." So, yeah. So, that's where I'm at. I agree heavily. I think it comes down to, because we get asked it and I know you guys get asked, it comes down to what you can afford at the moment. Then always trying to push the limits of production value. Right? My background was a wall. It was just like random yellow wall, and now I have a giant green screen wallpaper now. So, now, I can be wherever I want which is a concert. That's where I want to be, and that's where I'm going to be.
Brian Kelly:
You're the one on the stage, brother. Not the audience.
Dylan Shinholser:
No, I'm actually the guy behind the stage. I never want to be this. It's actually weird for me to be in front of people. I'm the guy behind the stage telling people to get on the stage.
Brian Kelly:
Pushing them forward. Well, you do a good job, Dylan. I wouldn't know any different. Maybe your calling is to step out from behind and be on front more often.
Dylan Shinholser:
We will see. Twenty twenty-one has a lot of stuff, and I've got a long way to go. I got super bored in twenty-twenty so I might as well talk.
Brian Kelly:
I've gotten to know you a little bit over time, and you've got a great personality. I think you need to shine in front of more people. That's my humble opinion.
Dylan Shinholser:
I appreciate that.
In the front, not behind the scenes. It's okay to be behind the scenes on occasion, but someone like you with your personality and your integrity, your character...get out there, buddy. It's a disservice if we don't get to see you. Let me put it that way.
That's what a mentor of mine said. He was like, "dude, you're actually being selfish by not talking more and getting it out." Because like I said at the beginning, I only want to help more people create better experiences and events. Make them flow better and make them more money as humanly possible. At the end of the day, I just want to travel the world with cool people and do cool things. I've learned a lot, and a lot of people need some of that experience. So, I got a stern talking to by one of my mentors. He was like, "dude..." I was like, "alright, it's alright. I promise." I started live streaming then had to get better cameras, better lights going on. It's crazy up here in my little command center of all these different lights, webcams, and monitors. Everything you need to do to pull these shows off.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah, I love it. Christian, go ahead.
Christian Karasiewicz:
So, I want to throw something in there real quick. We talked about various types of cameras. If you're just getting started, use that built-in laptop, the webcam. So then you can take it up a notch. You can go to the Logitech. The C922. That's about, I think, a 60 to 70 dollar webcam. So, don't overpay by the way. It's about 60 to 70 dollars. Get it from Logitec, probably. If you find an astronomical price on Amazon, move up to like the Brio, for example. If your budget allows it, that's about one hundred fifty dollar camera. Then move up to a DSLR. For example, Julie's got that, the Sony 6000. I would also say if you happen to have a smartphone, this can be used as a webcam. Essentially, if you think about it, this is a thousand dollar camera. Because you paid a thousand dollars for this device of sorts, and this will give you some phenomenal picture quality. If you already have a smartphone and you don't have to have the latest iPhone, it could be pretty much any iPhone and Android phone. You just need an app such as one called,"Camo." There's one called,"Erion." So, there are lots of apps out there. Don't think like, "hey, I have to now go drop a bunch of money." Look at the phones you have lying around. Those are going to be great ways to fix your picture quality.
Julie Riley:
I've been going live since 2015, and I only had this camera last year.
Brian Kelly:
That's it. You keep reinvesting. I had a good friend of mine who were business partners. He said, I'll never forget it,"sales drive service". When you're making money, you're able to invest. You're able to up your game, and I love that. So many great points. You can just set a phone on a tripod and your camera will look better than many people's webcams. For sure. One of the things that I would recommend, this isn't just a plug StreamYard, is to get at least get the free plan. Do they need any more than the free plan to be part of the community, Julie?
Julie Riley:
No. They can come to join the community even if they're just getting started into streaming. We do like everybody to have the free plan so they have an understanding, but we'll still let you in. Agree to the rules. That's the big thing. Yeah, come join the StreamYard community. It's really a "stream yard" community.
Brian Kelly:
It's a very valuable place because questions like what Christian just addressed are often asked (What do I need?). I'm just starting. I'm a newbie. I see that so much in there. What can you do to help with a camera or microphone or computer? You can go there if you have those questions and ask, and the community will fill in the blanks wonderfully well because they're a great bunch of people. Just like Tim down there who's gotten pushed to the side for a while. So, Tim, is this your first camera that you've been using for live streaming so far? Did you have one before it?
Timothy McNeely:
Yeah, right. I started with just an HD one. Right. Logitech and then jumped up to the Brio. Been happy with that so far. But, you know, it's interesting how the game keeps growing again. That's the thing, right? Just get started! Just do this. I started with just using zoom and recording those for my interviews, and then I realized (that) I need a better platform. I need a way to kind of do that live production. Now I'm doing Stream Yard and got intros. Just get started with whatever you've got and kind of build that proof of concept. You know, I recently just upgraded my lights because I bought the cheapest lights I could at first. I just wanted to do something, and done is better than not done a lot of times.
Brian Kelly:
I totally agree with everything you just said and like what Christian was saying. If you're going to put money into anything, make it the audio side of things first when you upgrade. I was fortunate. I started over nine years ago streaming live. This is a DSLR. Not a DSLR. Good grief, XLR microphone. It's old school. It's not even USB. So I plug it into a mixer board, and from there into my computer. I've used it for years. It's been just amazing. I've never had to do anything with my sound as a result. For you, there are great USB alternatives now. Oh my gosh, there are so many out there. Someone like Christian could probably point you in the right way. Someone like the StreamYard community could push you in the right way and tell you,"these are the ones". I have a connection with the guy who is a sound expert. I've never heard of this before. He has a studio that does 4D sound. I don't even know what that means. Four dementional?
Christian Karasiewicz:
Sweet.
I don't know what that means, audibly. He was telling me about speakers in the ceiling. I'm like, holy moly,. You don't need that obviously for a talk show like this, but think about the possibilities and have fun with it. The bottom line is, when you go on and go live. Enjoy yourself. I'm trying to do that a little bit with these fine people tonight. Thankfully, they're still here with me. I haven't upset them too great, especially Christian. I keep picking on him. Poor guy. I appreciate you all, and it's okay to have fun on your show. Would you guys agree with that? Is it okay to have a little bit of fun?
Julie Riley:
One hundred percent. If you're having fun, your audience is going to be having fun with you.
If you're not having fun... I don't believe in doing anything that I don't find fun. It's a life motto of mine. If I don't want to do it, I don't want to do it. Yeah. Like you said, Julie. If you're not having fun with it, then how in the world do you expect the viewers to want to have fun or engage or interact? It starts with you.
Brian Kelly:
Absolutely, absolutely. One of the things I wanted to pivot to is something I'm deeply interested in because the product that came up earlier when I did the quick ads spot. I like to solve the pain points that people are having in their live streaming experiences. I'm curious. I'll bet, Julie and Christian, you guys have seen and heard a lot about that. I actually had a team member of mine from my company put a poll up in the form of a meme, a graphic. What's the right word? I am having trouble with words these days. It's an infograph. That's it. Simple. I was a little bit shocked by the result, but I was just curious what you guys think. What are the biggest pain points you're seeing? (Either) that you're having individually. Tim, if you have that as well. Dylan as well. Dylan, you probably hear about a bunch of it as well. What are the pain points you are seeing come back over and over and over again? I'm having a horrible time trying to find another guest on my show if they're interview style, or the tech is just blowing my mind. Even though StreamYard is so simple. I'm having trouble with x, y, z. Let's just go around the horn. Dylan, if you don't mind, I put you on the spot. Can you think of any of those pain points that keep coming up over and over again?
Dylan Shinholser:
Yeah, absolutely. The biggest thing I see is they underestimate what it does take. I totally agree. Why I promote StreamYard to our clients and everyone I possibly can is because of the ease of use. People go into it and think shows are just like setting up the webcam, and they can be. Setting up the webcam and just talking. Right? There's a lot of back end stuff to this. These shows and I'm learning that as doing my own now. I'm like, holy cow, I'm about to hire fifteen people because this is absurd. But, yeah. I think that's the biggest thing that I see is underestimating it, but also at the same time, they overcomplicate it. They have to think (that) they have to have all these bells and whistles and seventeen thousand cameras and two million dollar microphones. It goes back to our first point of "just do it". It doesn't need to be overcomplicated, but understand going into it, there is some work that takes and understand that you do have to respect what it takes to put these on. At the same time, don't overcomplicate it. It's funny how people work. They overestimate or underestimate it, but then heavily overcomplicate it at the same time. I think that's the biggest one I see.
Brian Kelly:
I'm so glad you brought that up. I've said this so many times, people don't realize what goes on behind the scenes before the show even comes on live for that episode. The amount of time and effort. If you want to do a live show that's of quality and represent yourself and your brand in a way that you want it to be represented professionally. It takes a good amount of work for every single show. That's why I automated nearly every process (that) I use now. It took time to get there, but you can use a team. You can get a team. Like you said, Dylan, to also help out. For me, it's all about quality, and more time is spent before the show by far than the show itself. After the show is over, another good deal of time is spent. That is in the minor edits, the repurposing, the marketing, and everything else that goes beyond. The live show is this tiny window of time, and it's the fun is part of it by the way. When you have everything automated, the rest is not "not fun" because you're not doing it. It's all automated, but definitely great. Thank you for that. Julie, what has been some of the big p.. sorry to wake you up there. What have been some of the big pain points? You are wide awake. I just starttled you. You've seen over and over, I bet you've seen a bunch of them.
Julie Riley:
Oh, my gosh. So many, you know, especially because I'm approving all of the comments that are coming into the group. I think one of the huge ones is that the hesitation of people who believe that they have to have everything perfect. That they have to have all of the backdrops, the overlays, the banners, the super expensive microphone, and the super expensive camera. That they have it. The room behind them is messy. They haven't thought about turning to just a blank wall because they're like, "well, then I don't have a fancy studio set up." They get to this point where they're trying to create perfection, and perfection is a fairy tale. It doesn't exist. There is no such thing as perfection. There is, again, where Dylan said the overcomplicating it. They've got to really just slow down and go, "what do I need to get this process going?" What is the minimum to make it happen? From there, then I can then build on it, and build on it each week. Go, "okay, I got live. I got the first one out. I got the jitters out. I hate the way I sound." When I had my agency, I would tell my clients. They'd be like, "I can't stand the way I sound." I'm like, nobody likes the way (that) they sound. There's actually, and I say this all the time, there's a term for it that is a term for not liking the sound of your own voice. I tell people, you have to get over that fear. They're like,"I don't look good on camera, I don't know how to be on camera." The other thing I tell people is to set up a fake Facebook group with nobody else in it but you. Go live in there a bunch of times and just get those jitters out. Get that feeling of pressing the button and going live. Then invite your husband in, your sister, your mother, or whoever. Somebody so that you're talking to somebody. From there, build up each time. As we said with the cameras, again, you can you can slowly build. You can slowly add in the overlays. You can slowly add in the backgrounds.
Brian Kelly:
My goodness! I absolutely love it. I have my own Facebook group that I use just for that. Nothing more. I go in there, and I test things for StreamYard and other things in there. I go live in there because there's no substitute for going live. We've got more buttons to click, and things kind of change their arrangement just a little bit in the window. If you practiced it 20 times without going live, then you go live you're going to go, "what the heck just happened?" I don't know what I'm supposed to do now. That was perfect. Perfect advice. I love that. We've got a comment coming in or two or three. Yeah. Kelly, crucial. Kruschel. Sorry if I got that wrong.
Dylan Shinholser:
Kelly Kruschel. It's Kruschel. She said she's on my team. She's a friend. Hey, we've got a supporter.
Brian Kelly:
Love it. Love it. Then Fran Jesse, I know her. I'm getting ready to make my first video essentially input. Yeah. Reach out, Fran. We're friends. I will give you assistance in any way you want because this is the greatest this is the greatest avenue for media on the planet, in my humble opinion, for so many reasons. One is people get to see you. I love clubhouse. It's also phenomenal in different ways, but people get to see you. They get to interact with you. They can engage with you, and they get to see your essence. It doesn't cost you, the studio owner, studio time. If you do this in the old days when you have to go to a television studio and you want to do a show, it would cost you thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars just to use the studio. Let alone get the media time to put it up on a television station. We're living in wonderful times. It's the greatest time to be alive, in my humble opinion. I'm a tech geek. I'm not young anymore. I'm fifty six, but I can't wait for the rest of what my life has to hold. Yes. You're welcome, Fran. Any time. Wonderful. Wonderful. Alright. Where were we? I got all messed up and loving myself there. We're going to have fun. I'm being real. This is like... I don't know. I'm the most relaxed (that) I've been in a long time with everything that went on today. It was one of those weird, everything-going crazy days. I feel like I'm at home with you guys. That's why.
Dylan Shinholser:
It's been one of those years.
Brian Kelly:
Thank God that last one is over.
Dylan Shinholser:
Yeah, yeah. Sure.
Brian Kelly:
So, okay. Pain point. Let's go back around one more. Tim, what do you have?
Timothy McNeely:
Yeah. When I first started doing this, my whole goal was to get out there and to talk to the different experts in the different areas of the challenges that my my clients face. I started off as an interview show and just using Zoom to record the video. Then all of a sudden I had the video. Now I had to put an intro in. I had to put an exit in. I had to extract the audio so I could do the podcast. My team members and myself were spinning our wheels. Just trying to really kind of create a workflow around the creation of this content so we could get the message out and help people with their challenges. For me, all of a sudden, the revelation was (that) I can do this live. I can have people type in (and) ask comments as I'm doing the show. Not only that, from start to finish, I can produce the whole thing going live. Right? You go live. You can play an intro now. You can throw in little commercial breaks. You can throw in the outro, and then it's done. Download the audio. You throw it up, and now you've got your podcast. You don't have to upload video to YouTube and Facebook and LinkedIn. It's done for you now, automatically. So really my biggest pain point was just the production side of things and putting everything together so that I could keep talking to people and doing the fun part. Right? I don't want to get caught up in all the details of making this. I want to talk to people, learn, and share that knowledge. Really, a lot of the pain point, just using StreamYard has really been absolved because it's a turn-key easy to use platform.
Brian Kelly:
Amen to all of that brother. Here's the key for everyone that's ever going to do a live show or has done one. The most important part is that you show up and you be the talent. That means you need to be dedicated mentally toward what the task is at hand. If I have too many things going on, like production-wise, which I used to when I didn't automate things. That's in the back of my mind. Did I dot every "i"? Did I cross every "t"? What's going to screw up on this show? Versus showing up fully for my guest. Being there for them. Getting out of myself and my own business and being present for the other person, that's what I'm about. Lifting up the other people, that's what my show's about. It's important to me.
Timothy McNeely:
Actually, if I can touch on that talent piece, Brian? I think he brought something up so important for everyone listening to this. If you're doing any kind of a show where you're interviewing people, chances are (that) the person you're talking to (is) a little bit uncomfortable. Your job, as the talent, is to spend some time before the show really crafting what it's going to look like. What direction are you going to go in? You want to make that person you're talking to look like a star. The more you can rehearse with them and put them at ease, you're going to end up with a much, much better show. Because you've taken a little bit of time to make sure that (the) other person is going to shine just as bright as you do. So, take that time to work with your guests beforehand through interview guides, through little questionnaires. So that you can help prep them, to keep them on a thread, and you can really help them deliver their message. Most people are not trained professional speakers. They just aren't. I've hired some of the best speaking coaches to help me develop messages, stay on topic, and learn how to tell stories. People don't invest time, energy, and effort to do that. You can help them do that through a briefing before you start your live with them.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah. That's why I was saying before, I do a thirty-minute preshow. All of us were on here for 30 minutes getting to know each other, making sure all the tech was good, doing some checkout. You were talking about people being nervous and stuff. That's why I'm riding Christian so hard with all these jokes and stuff because it broke his nervousness. You can see his sweating. I am so kidding. This guy's raw. He's a rock. He's awesome. He's a pro. I love this guy, man. I always pick on the quiet ones. I don't know why that is. Christian, man, you're bringing massive value. All kidding aside, you're very experienced. You're matched for what you do. You've said already so many amazing things. What about you, brother?
Christian Karasiewicz:
I'd say this. I think a couple of the pain points. I think one is people want to ask, "how do I get better at my live stream?" I think (that) the first thing is practice. To Julie's point, I think you mentioned having overlays, backgrounds, and all this other stuff. Look at it like this. You want to show your audience as well while you're helping them. You're doing this with them. You have everything at the same time, and you're trying to make everything perfect. Your audience is going to be like, "I'm not going to stick around this person because they've done such a good job already. I won't ever get to that point". They start having that self-doubt. The key thing is going to be practice. You don't have to have every single one of the overlays. Maybe start with the the intro or the thumbnail, and maybe you have an outro for example. (Those are) the first two things you do. As you build the show, then you can add segment graphics. You can add videos. So, you can scale it, but you don't have to have so much at one time because then it's just too overwhelming. That's point number one. Pain point number two is that people, for some reason, think that they're going to immediately be able to monetize their live stream. I say pain point because everybody's like, "oh, I bought all that equipment." Now, you've got to figure out how to pay for all that equipment, you know? If you're struggling already with your business and growing it, then you're not going to immediately monetize live stream. You have to have an audience. You know, you have to build that community. When you go live, they're tuning in because (of) the social platforms. They want to see that you're bringing viewers, they want to see engagement. So, point number two is monetizing your live stream. There are ways to do that, but don't always set out with monetization being number one. It could take a couple of years to monetize. So, get started. Build on it, then make those investments as your business is growing. Yes, mic drop. Yes.
Dylan Shinholser:
Do you have that mic? Just a mic drop? Because I might need to get one.
Brian Kelly:
It's actually super.
Dylan Shinholser:
Yeah, super real.
Christian Karasiewicz:
That's pretty cool, actually.
Julie Riley:
I like that.
Brian Kelly:
It's actually part of a magic trick that you put in a paper bag. It's a long story, but I found one more affordable that would not break my keyboard because that's what it landed on. You didn't hear it. Oh, my gosh. Golden nuggets there, as usual, from Christian who I give a lot of hard time to. I'm going to stop because you're amazing dude, and I don't want to get mad at me. I want you to be my friend. So many great things. So, you said two years. I was like, wow. I was watching an interview. How many of you have heard of Lewis Howes? Former professional football player and turned incredible entrepreneur. He's all over the place. He was being interviewed, and the guy interviewing him asked him a question. He said, "so, Lewis, if someone came to you, and they were talking about the fact they wanted to start a podcast. Now, we're talking just the audio version. That's what a podcast really is for everyone that may not know it's audio-only. Not video, even though they're going that way." He said, "well, here's what I'd tell them. First, you got to actually be consistent. Whenever you decide to do it, do it at that same day and that same time every week or multiple times a week. Whatever that happens to be. Number two, more importantly. You must commit yourself to doing that for at least, the magic number, two years. If they are not willing to do that, I would tell them, don't even get started." We didn't talk about monetization. None of that was discussed during this Q&A. That was telling. Who was I talking about this earlier with earlier today? It's not necessarily about monetizing. It's about building your platform, and I wanted to add to that. It took me in two years. I was just hitting that moment in time of my live show. That's when the momentum started. He was spot on, and so are you, Christian, about the two years. Then using a certain strategy (that) I use, I continually ask for referrals in a certain way. I eventually landed the one and only Les Brown. Some of you know who that is. Some of you don't. I've noticed some don't and Im like,"what rock are you living under?" He's amazing, and he's been on my show. Because of that, the two-year commitment is my point. Not talking about monetization. Then what I found after doing this for two years and striving for excellence all the time in every facet, I'm talking about the preshow communication with upcoming guests and the setup and the prep that they all go through and my system makes sure they do. The show itself and then after the show, all the post-production, everything that goes into it. Once you have that, people notice and my show, without my intending it to be, became an incredible, powerful lead magnet for my business. Focus, just as Christian was stating so properly, does definitely, positively impact your business. If you do it right. You do it high quality, and again, within reason within the resources you have. Go ahead, Christian.
Christian Karasiewicz:
I was going to say. That's another point that people look at, and they want to generate revenue off of it. That revenue may not be actual money upfront. It may end up being (help) (to) drive more leads to my website. It's not necessarily driving more people to my social channels. You're following is... It's OK. That's not going to necessarily grow your business because you had five more followers on Instagram or something like that. It's potentially getting them back to your website, which can be an opportunity for them to schedule a coaching call with you, maybe buy a product from you, learn from you for example. You're not going to get every single person to become a customer, but you're going to be able to use it to generate more leads.
Brian Kelly:
Totally, totally true.
Dylan Shinholser:
That's why I do it.
Brian Kelly:
You see on the top of this screen "streaming live on" and then five. We're doing it to eight right now or seven right now. "Listen-on" down below. On the bottom, there's actually twenty five of those like us could fit them all. Roku now was on Fire TV. Look, you're not making money from those, but here's what happened. How many of you have heard of Kevin Harrington? Shark Tank? Original Shark Tank? He has a partner named, "Seth Green", and they do a podcast together. They've been doing it for years now. They have five-hundred plus episodes. We got introduced, Seth and I. I met Kevin. We shared the stage once. I'm not name-dropping, but yes, I am. It was awesome, and it was fun. Seth reached out. We were connected by someone else. We were introduced, and Seth did his own homework. He came back, we literally talked on Zoom, and he says, "wow, I did some research. I looked you up and, my God, you're everywhere." I just wanted to say, "yeah, that's right." So, you want to get out there. That's why, shameless plug, I call it, "carpet bomb marketing". You saturate with everything you've got within reason. Right? If you can automate it, it can be near or completely free. So just do it. Why not add it to your arsenal? So, it works. Just be consistent to a minimum of two years. Get in touch with people like Julie, Christian, Tim, and Dylan. You might make that even quicker than two years. I'll direct you to the shortcuts that many of us did by trial and error.
Timothy McNeely:
Touching on the monetization piece, a good friend of mine runs one of the top coaching consultancies out there. Right. Very, very successful. Runs a great podcast, great show. I ask him one day. I said, "have you need any money doing your podcast?" He thought for a second. He says, "naw, I've actually lost money doing it. The relationships that I've made...I've made millions off (of) that." If you approach it from that standpoint... There's different goals, but I always approach, you know, what's the end result? What are you looking for out of your show? Why are you doing it? That's how you can measure the success of it. Is it helping you achieve whatever goals you set for yourself?
Brian Kelly:
Totally agree. It's very similar. Isn't it? To writing a book? I'm holding up another namedrop. Yes, it's very similar to writing your own book. Because a lot of people want to write a book and make a living off of the sales of the book. I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, most of the time it just doesn't happen that way. If anyone comes up to you and you're talking to them... During the course of conversation, maybe you ask them what they've been up to? Or, hey, I've authored a book. The moment they say that, in your eyes, do they not lift up in an influence in your mind? Right then and there? Instantly. It builds authority. That's exactly what this live show, and live shows like it, are doing. When you're giving evidence of it by spitting it out to all of these platforms, there's no way people can't find you and know that you're serious. You know, it's showing that you have a commitment level. It's showing that you have a quality level of professionalism. It's not about the show itself. It's like, well, if I do business with that person, or will I... Will I want to do business that person? If they're professional. Yes. If they put on a shoddy show, they might give me shoddy service. If I do business with them. Does that make sense? People want to (be) representing yourself in the best. Do it the best you can, but do it. Please, don't delay. Don't try to be perfect. You heard everybody talk. Go ahead, Dylan. You had something?
Dylan Shinholser:
Well, yeah. There's indirect ways to make money with shows, live streams, and of course direct (ways). Right. Direct is selling sponsorships, ad-space, all that good stuff. The indirect monetization is so much more powerful. When I do shows or when I hop on shows or anything, it's literally just to build a top-down awareness of myself. I just want people to know what Dylan Shinholser is. Then that way, because I do multiple things, I'm never trying to sell one product at any given time. I'm trying to sell myself, and what it does is it gives me that outlet to do it. Then if you're hosting a show. Right? This maybe goes into some other topics around how to market and things like that. It's a powerful relationship tool because when you can open your platform to other people that you're looking to connect with. I'm in the business of working with influencers and throwing their events. Well, the best way to connect was get them on my show. It gave me a reason to reach out that wasn't pitchy or sales. It was more or less. Hey, man, I just want to give you an outlet, because I think what you talk about is cool. Tell my people about it. After the show, I was like, "hey, man, what are you doing next Tuesday? I need a speaker." Or "hey, man. I have some ideas (that) I want to pitch you or (some) things. They're more receptive. So, I always do shows and things not about the direct money I get, but the indirect thing. It's the indirect impact that I get from relationships, or people sharing my stuff out and people go, oh man, he sounds semi-intelligent unless they're watching this. Then then they'll go, okay, great. Let me go over to this platform that he runs with this business that he does or whatever because he sounded halfway intelligent on that show. Right? So, I think the indirect monetization is what most people don't... They don't get that the instant gratification of like that five thousand dollars sponsorship check. When I forgo that and go on to bring on much more money on the backend with the people I connect with, in the top influence that I get.
Brian Kelly:
The magic word there was "relationship".
Dylan Shinholser:
Relationships all day, every day. That's all I do- is build relationships, and how can I do it? Do more shows like this. Can I get it out? You're on like forty-two different podcast or outlets here, right? Every one of those. Every time you put a show on it, you're building a relationship with someone on that platform. Even if it's just you talking, and they're listening. You're building that relationship. Everything (that) I do, is built on: how can I develop relationships? Live streams is just an amazing way to do so.
Brian Kelly:
Posting them is one thing. Right? That's a great thing. What I learned through a podcasting expert friend of mine is the maybe not as equally important, but possibly greater importance, is getting on other people's shows. That includes audio podcasts only. He explained how his business skyrocketed when he did what he called, "podcast guest marathons". He would have someone get him booked in his team. He would carve out three days and just say get as many as you can for me. He'd do that. Then when they ask him about how to get in contact with him... This is the gold right here... It's not go to my Facebook page and look up my name and message me. He would tell them to go to his podcast website and from there to subscribe. Now he's building a following. It's genius. It's so genius. I just want to impart that. The cool thing, though, is when you're hosting a high-quality live show that opens the door for you to be a guest on many more.
Dylan Shinholser:
Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Being a guest is what goes back to the authority building. Right? If I can build my authority, I build my influence. If I do have something to sell... If I'm trying to build my brand or whatever it is or I'm just trying to get to as many people as possible to talk about events with them... That authority I call it, "authority hacking", being able to get them on your show. That'll get your show in front of their audience, and then going on to other shows helps you develop your authority. It's like writing a book. I was I'm a guest on this show, this show, this show. It's like writing a book. Your authority starts to become a little bit more when you're leveraging their influence. Right? When you're a guest on the show, if that show has a following, you becoming a guest on that show gives you authority because now you have the validation of the host that everyone is following and love. So, I can authority hack by getting on other people's shows.
Brian Kelly:
It leverges. You have a whole new tribe watching and interacting with you as well. I mean, this is one of the most powerful things people can use. If they just get out of that rut of trying to find a way to make money with it directly, that's when they'll see the real value come through. It's about building relationships. It's long-term. Not short, quick kill. I got to make a commission and run. It's build a relationship. Establish it. If you go into this with the mindset of it not being for directly making money, I personally think you have greater success. The long-term plays always work better than the short-term. Short-term works can work, but they're temporary. The long-term is a lot more permanent and lasting. Just think of all the wonderful bread crumbs you're leaving throughout the world. Through all the venues and platforms we've been talking about. In speaking terms, if you're on stage, that's what we call a "stage swap". Where you would be a guest on someone else's stage in return for them saying, "okay, but I'm going to do the opposite." We'll have you on our as well. The same thing with podcasts and live video. It works really great. Just make sure they're a fit.
Dylan Shinholser:
They've got to fit. (It's) got to makes sense.
Brian Kelly:
Both ways. Yeah.
Christian Karasiewicz:
I want to add something real quick to that. If you are consistently going live, so it's great to be consistent, go live on a regular basis, but also think about the long game. It's a couple of years, for example. Also, don't be afraid to be making changes and adjustments as things are moving along. It's not about substituting equipment. It's about looking at your process. For example, you mentioned Brian, that you have automation on some of the things. Think of smarter ways to take bigger jumps ahead. If I have to send someone an email, and I'm like, "hey, do you want to be on my show?" Then I have to deal with the whole back and forth. Well, okay. Yeah. What time? Then I have to send everything back. There are tools out there like Calendly, Harmonizely. You can send a calendar link to somebody and they can only book a certain slot for example and vice versa. This takes out the guesswork out of having to do all that back and forth. That's a way to work smarter because now you want to book people for your show. You send them one link. The person then doesn't have to send you a message back, and you can even use it to collect feedback for your show questions. There's not a lot of back-and-forth and downtime.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah, absolutely. I do that as well, and it's a godsend. I could not do what I'm doing. I would not do what I'm doing without the automation part of it. I have an onboarding form. You guys all... Most, not all of you went through it, but that was a mini version. Julie, you went through the big version. I then changed it right after I saw that. Like you said, make adjustments. That's what I did. I'm constantly doing that. Improving. I have a document automatically generated in Google Docs with your bio. The answer you had to why you think you would bring value to the show. Also, all the questions you chose to be asked for the show. Some of you didn't see that. So everything's done. The Q&A part used to take hours and hours doing manually. Now I just give them thirty-eight questions. Choose ten, and we're good. You tick the box. You choose what I'm going to ask you. (I) just made it a system, and it has worked beautifully. I don't even use the ten questions hardly. I use maybe the first three. Then we go organically like we've been doing tonight. My God, it's six twenty-nine! Are you kidding me? I'm having too much fun. Real quick. I know everyone that came on in the beginning. You heard this thing about a prize. We're going to do that real quick, and we'll come back and wrap it up. For those of you watching, remember in the beginning I said, "take notes and don't go clicking away and stuff like that"? Now I think Dylan, Julie, Tim, and Christian will also give you permission to do what I'm saying, and that is take out your phone. Take your gaze away from us for just a moment, but you'll still have to look back. Yes, yes. You can do this too. Please, do. What I want you to do....
Dylan Shinholser:
I need a vacation.
This is how you can enter to win a five-night stay at a five-star luxury resort of your choosing. Here's what you do. Take out your message app on your phone. Fire that up- your text message app. Where you would type in the name of the person normally that you're going to text. Instead, put in this number: three, one, four, six, six five-they're all doing it behind the scenes- one, seven, six, seven. I love this. Three, one, four, six, six, five, one, seven, six, seven. If you're watching this and you're not a guest, go ahead and write this down because I gonna take the screen down. I want you to get it. This will be open until the end of the evening. Where you actually put in the message... Where you might put emojis, those kinds of things, not emojis, just two words separated by a dash or a hyphen. Those words are peak (P-E-A-K) dash Vacation (V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N). All together. No spaces. Peak vacation. Send it off, then monitor your phone. You're going to get an automated response back asking you for your email address, and that will then officially enter you into the contest. Compliments of The Big Insider Secrets. Our buddies, Jason Nash, the owner. Dear friend of mine who lets us give this away every single week. Every show, actually. We do more than one a week now on average. So go ahead, get that entered. I can't wait to see who's going to win that. You're going to be asked later, you don't have to if you're the winner, to provide your Facebook information. Just your profile so we can say congrats and give you a high-five online and get others to come watch the show. To be honest, that's another strategy. We're just rolling back the curtain. That's why we do it this way. You can offer incentives like that. My friend has offered that to anyone who is my friend. If you're not my friend, you don't get it. If you're on as part of the panel here, they're all my friends. Christian may differ on that opinion, but I think he's my friend.
Christian Karasiewicz:
I'm your friend. Yes.
Brian Kelly:
Ok, good. I picked on you so hard. I apologize, but you're just you're a fun guy. I appreciate you for putting up with it. I definitely do stuff like that. Implement it and announce it in the beginning. That helps retention. I'm just pulling back the curtain for everybody. You can do different things like that. Having multiple people, I noticed, is also a little better than just one every single time. So, mix it up now and then. Alright. I know we're a little bit over, but I want to give you each another chance for a final parting tip. Anything you want on live streaming. It could be hardware, software, how you smile, what bling you wear, don't wear, your makeup. I'm wearing some, by the way, just so the guys know. Yeah, I don't know what they call it. It's not like guy up.. guy-liner, but it's like makeup. I know. That was bad.
Dylan Shinholser:
I haven't heard of that one.
Brian Kelly:
I just did that. I'm not a young fart anymore. Anyway. So, Dylan, we'll do the same thing. Go around the horn. What would be one final quick tip, or parting words of advice, you can give our wonderful viewing and listening audience?
Dylan Shinholser:
Keep it simple stupid. Don't overcomplicate it. There's things that you need to do and standards you need to meet. At the end of the day, keep it simple stupid will allow you to not overcomplicated it (and) get overwhelmed. Once you get overwhelmed, it's a wash. I would just say as a life advice, event advice, live stream advice, just keep it simple stupid and keep it moving.
Brian Kelly:
Real quick, I got to interject on that. Just so people know that that comes from an acronym K.I.S.S. So we're not calling everybody stupid, for one.
Dylan Shinholser:
Well...
Brian Kelly:
That was great. I have a friend who is Sicilian in nature, and he did this from the stage. He talked about it, and he brought up the whole thing. We're talking about doing it without complicating it. He goes, "It's like K.I.S.S. Who knows what K.I.S.S means?" Someone raised their hands. They said, "keep it simple, stupid". He goes,"Oh, no, no. It's keep it simple Sicilian." He lighten the load of the stupid part. I thought that was cool. Sorry, Julie, what is your parting tip?
Julie Riley:
You know, you're going to have to get started at some point. In order to do that, you're going to have to get over your fear. Go practice. Get those done, but also go watch and find other people that you resonate with their live shows. Start to take pieces from each of those. Now, obviously, you cannot go copy their live show and recreate it. You can pull little things from multiple different people's live shows that you like and that resonate with you. If you're comfortable and things are resonating with you, you're going to exude that comfort and that confidence out to the rest of the world.
Brian Kelly:
I love it. I love it. Alright. The man, the myth, the legend, Timothy J. McNeely. What is your final parting word of advice?
Timothy McNeely:
I'm going to close with a story. The purpose of this story is to illustrate the power of doing a show. July 20th, 1969, the first man walked on the moon. He left his footprints up there. On the moon, there's no wind. There's no rain. There's no weather, and those footprints today in twenty twenty-one look exactly like they did in nineteen sixty-nine. They're going to be exactly the same a million years from now. You too. You leave footprints on the hearts and the minds of everyone that you come in contact with. In streaming and having a platform, that's your opportunity to leave your footprints and to have an impact on people. Get clear about what your message is. What's the impact you want to have? If you do that, all of the other puzzle pieces are going to fall in place for you.
Brian Kelly:
Oh, baby. Okay, I've got to do it. I've got to do it. That was amazing.
Dylan Shinholser:
You have to get one of the little lower third animation gifts that are possible here on StreamYard. It's just a mic drop every time someone does one.
Brian Kelly:
Not nearly as much fun though, bro.
Christian Karasiewicz:
That's true. Fair. Very fair. I'll give it to you. I've got to get me one of those little squishy microphones.
Brian Kelly:
A little sound effect like I just broke my desk or something. That would be good. Alright, Christian, you've had a long time to think about it now. No pressure, but this better be a good one. I'm kidding. What do you have?
Christian Karasiewicz:
Let's see. The best piece of advice, I think, would be don't have gas or gear acquisition syndrome. You're going to watch people doing their live streams, and they're going to go and be like, "hey, I got to get that mic because this person upgraded." Oh, they got a new webcam. Remember? If you develop a plan, the whole thing is work the plan.. work the system. It's great (that) somebody else got some equipment, but it doesn't mean that you need to go out and get that yourself as well. Remember, work your plan. When you get to the certain points, maybe set that as a milestone. If I get to a certain number of viewers, for example, or a certain number of subscribers on a channel, then I might need to upgrade something. Don't be buying stuff just because someone else is doing so.
Brian Kelly:
Sales drive service. I love it. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for coming on. Everyone who watched live. Thank you for coming on. Those of you that watched on the recording. Thank you for spending your valuable time with us, and those listening on the podcast. The same goes for you. Definitely. I hope you took a lot of notes because these are experts in the field. They are giving their value, their heart, their experience. They only charged me two-hundred thousand dollars for it. It's really been a deal. I'm kidding. They charged me nothing. You got incredible value from these amazing, amazing professionals. I can't thank you all enough. I appreciate you Dylan, Julie, Tim, Christian. Thank you from the bottom of my heart with all seriousness. I know we had some fun tonight. Thank you, Christian, so much for letting me pick on you so hard. You've been a great guy. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you at a deeper level. If you're open to that after tonight. Appreciate you all. On behalf of these amazing people, that's it. We're out. My name is Brian Kelly. I'm the host of The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. Until next time we will see you. Be blessed. So long for now.
