Speaker1:
So here's the big question. Our 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 to our dedicated determined. And drip. We finally break through. And with that is the question. And this podcast will give you the answers. My name is Bill. This is the mind body business.
Speaker1:
Hello, everyone, and welcome, welcome, welcome to the Mind Body Business Show. I'm always excited every time we have another guest come on the show and tonight is no exception because it's been a while since we've had someone in the health area where you see the mind body business show being the body part of the show. And I'm so happy because it's a rejuvenation for me personally, being a former professional or a certified trainer for seven years. And I just just talking with Mr. David Gudinski in the green room just a little bit before we came on and we met each other some time ago and had a nice chat and got to know each other. And this is a guy that wants to make changes in your life for the better. And I can't wait to bring him on because he's such a wonderful serving, heart centered individual and he's got a great story, so I can't wait to bring him on right before we do that real quick. The Mind Body Business Show For those of you that may not have tuned in before. It's a show for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs. It's designed with the mission and purpose of helping you to find those key elements to get you to success faster. And so I interview and extract these amazing, amazing, magical bullets, if you will.
Speaker1:
There is no such thing as a magic bullet, but there are magical things that you can learn and when you implement them, get that much closer to success, that much faster. And so what I like to do is extract the secrets of success of each individual, and not everyone has the same approach or secrets. And that's the beautiful thing about this. So one may not resonate with you, another may. All you need to do is model their success. Fancy word for copy? And so it's about the three pillars of success. And I learned of this and came up with this concept as a result of studying successful people over a period of about a decade or so. I just wanted to know what was it that made one person over here more successful than this person over here? What did they do different? Why were they more successful? How did they? What was their secret sauce? And three things kept coming to the surface. I'm talking about folks like personal mentors that I worked with that had achieved great success. Authors of books, some that I met, others who have written books that are no longer with us, that I never met and you name it. And you go down the path and you study what are the common traits of most of these incredibly successful people mind being? They all had a very powerful, yet more importantly, flexible mindset body literally means about taking care of your body.
Speaker1:
And I'm so excited to have David Madejski on tonight to help really peel back the onion on that and reveal more about why that is so important. And then that's talking about both physical exercise. I know exercise is a long word, but we all look at it as a four letter word, don't we really? Come on, be honest and nutrition. What do we bring in? What are we take into our body, both through physical food and through liquid as well? And business business is so, so multifaceted. All of these successful people I interviewed had mastered the skill sets that are necessary for one to create, build, expand and scale a successful business. And there are many, many skill sets involved. There are skill sets like marketing, sales, team building, systematize leadership, the list goes on and on and on and on, and to master any one skill set is much like being called an expert in one particular area and being astute listeners and viewers. You all know that to be an expert, it takes on average around ten thousand hours of exposure and repetition in that one area.
Speaker1:
The good news is you don't have to master every single skill set that's necessary, not you personally. If you master just one one of those that I mentioned in that list, that short list of a very long list of skill sets, and that would be the skillset of leadership. Once you've mastered that, you can now then bring in other individuals who have already acquired those skill sets that you have yet to require and you may never acquire. Because, let's face it, 10000 hours per skill set, that's a lot of time. So why not work smarter? Not harder? I actually say work smarter and harder. I like to put a twist on it, but that's for another time. And so with that, another thing I love about the very successful people that I run into and we're very, very fortunate because tonight we have with us and author of books. And one of the things I noticed a very successful people is they're voracious readers of books. So this is going to be a great show. I cannot wait to bring them on just before we do that with books in mind. I'm going to Segway over into a little segment I affectionately call bookmarks.
Speaker2:
Bookmarks going to read bookmarks ready, steady read bookmarks brought to you by reach your peak library.
Speaker1:
Yeah, reach your peak library. Now, for those of you watching, even if you're listening in on podcast after, if you're watching a recording or life doesn't matter, what I implore of you is to do for yourself is rather than succumb to that, that feeling of I need to go check this out right now and go click away. Rather than do that, I'd like to implore upon you or of you to. Rather than do that is to take notes, actually write it down. I'm actually running this show. I'm in the camera, I'm doing the camera angles, I'm doing everything interviewing and I'm going to be taking notes throughout the show as well. So I don't ever ask anybody to do something I myself am not willing to do. And the reason is is because the magic happens in the room. David is going to be revealing some incredible valuable information that is going to give you that certainty to know exactly what you need to do to go forward to right your health ship, so to speak, if you need it right it, or if you already are healthy to help keep you sustaining that health, maybe even improve it further. But please for yourself, I would just recommend that you take out some notes. If you're listening on podcasts, maybe you're driving on the road. You might want to pull over and listen to this in its entirety or save it and listen to it when you can. It's that important, and it's also important to stay in the room because that's where the magic happens. So stay with us. Stay focused on David. He's coming on very soon, I promise you.
Speaker1:
I'm not kidding. It's not a tease. Reach your peak library. What is that website for? It is a website that I had my team develop with you and mind, and I'm not kidding. This is for you. And the reason is is I myself did not start reading books voraciously until about 10 years ago when I was 47. I am now 57 and I didn't and I didn't realize what I was missing out on. And then once I started listening on Audible, the whole world changed for me in such a wonderful way. So every book on this website is a book I have personally read and vetted. So not every book I've ever read is on this site. Only those that had a profound impact on me, either in business or in personal or both lives. Excuse me. And so you can see them scrolling and not going to go through them all. Don't worry. Just pick one out. They're not in any particular order whatsoever. They not alphabetic, not by author. You saw a cluster of books there by Grant Cardone. I kind of threw them all at once because it was in my mind. I said, Put those there. I just threw them out there and said, what to put when, but just grab the one that resonates with you and pick it up and buy it and go read it. And tonight we're going to be most likely adding another one to this library very, very soon. Because of this gentleman, we're going to bring on next right now because it's time to bring on the one and only David Burtynsky. Let's do it.
Speaker2:
It's time for the guest expert, spotlight savvy, skillful, professional, adept, trained, big league qualified.
Speaker1:
And there is, ladies and gentlemen, yes, it is the one. It is the only David Madejski. Welcome to the show, David. How are you doing, my friend?
Speaker3:
I'm doing awesome, Brian. Thank you for having me as a guest tonight.
Speaker1:
Oh my goodness, I am literally pumped about this. I'm excited. I worked out right before the show. You were such an inspiration. And we're going to talk. I hope about exercise versus diet and which is better. Or maybe both, you know, who knows? You have to stick around and find out from the expert who knows, who knows, because he's been through it himself. That's what I love about David is he's not just someone here saying, Well, I think it's good for people. They should do it. I've never been through anything like this, but you should do it. No, that's not David. He's been through it. He's used his experience, his what I what might be called a near-death experience. I'll let him explain that to now help others. And that's what I love about you, David. You're an amazing guy. Real quick. I know I'm teasing everybody horribly, but I want to take care of some housekeeping real quick above David's left shoulder. So that's the right side of the screen. If you're watching this live or recording, you can see a nice stamp up there called the Big Insider Secrets, and that is a company that has sponsored this show and gives us the ability to give away a five night stay at a five star luxury resort each and every show.
Speaker1:
And again, that's compliments of a big insider secrets. So be sure to hang on to the end because it's only for you that staying on with us to the end live, that's the only time we announce it. We'll tell you how you can win then and then one more, and we'll get back to Super David. I'm going to call him David and not Dave, because he's not that super Dave that some of you know about. So. All right. If you are struggling with putting a live show together and it's overwhelming and you want a lot of the processes done for you while still enabling you to put on a high quality show and connect with great people like David Madejski and grow your business all at the same time, then head on over to carpet bomb marketing, carpet bomb marketing, saturate the marketplace with your message. With that, I am done yammering about all of that. It's time to bring the amazing David Madejski on and give him the respect he deserves. Would it be all right with you, David? If I gave you a nice formal introduction and then we get on on with the show, so to speak?
Speaker3:
Absolutely.
Speaker1:
All right, here we go. David Madejski is known as the overweight person's best friend because he is the leading authority on how to lose weight without dieting, exercising or counting calories. Oh my God, he hit every pain point we've all ever been through when we want to lose weight. Cannot wait to hear what this man has to say. David struggled with his own weight issues until July of twenty sixteen. That's only five years ago when his doctor told him to lose weight or get this. Find a new doctor because that doctor didn't want David dying on his watch. Wow, that had to hit you right between the eyeballs right there during the next four months. Listen to this! In four months, David shed 50 five zero pounds. That's a lot of weight in a short period of time, almost twenty five percent of his total body weight. That puts it in perspective, and he has kept it off. Now he can help you to lose weight without once again dieting, exercising or counting calories. Bring it home, baby! The key to his success is using his nine must have fundamental principles for healthy eating habits. Wow, with that, I literally got goose bumps under my jacket. I am not kidding, I'm not going to take it off to show you because we're not time for that. Ladies and gentlemen, the great the one, the only David Biernacki, and I'm so grateful that you have taken the time to share your value, your word with our viewers and listeners tonight, David.
Speaker3:
Thank you, Brian.
Speaker1:
You're amazing, guy.
Speaker3:
Yes.
Speaker1:
I got I got kind of I got like a manuscript size. Mine's mine's bigger. Yeah, it's good because, you know, for my eyesight, it's easier for me to read. So I appreciate that. Thank you for sending that. That's awesome. So what I want to do, David, we're going to get into the body for sure. Oh my gosh. But what I want to do is start it off a little bit more with what is making you as an individual. What is keeping you driven each and every day, like when you get up in the morning and you know, there's arduous task ahead of you, maybe like writing your next book and how many more words do I have in me or whatever happens to be, how am I going to market this book and where? How many Barnes and noble signings do I need to do and all the marketing that goes with it or anything else that's going in your business? What is it that's keeping you going every day? What's going on on that big, beautiful brain of yours is what I'm really getting at? What is motivating you? What are you thinking about when you start each and every day? As an entrepreneur,
Speaker3:
I'm thinking about the reader of the book and how I can convey the message to modify and change your eating habits and behaviors so that you don't end up like I was in my doctor's office in July 2016, where I was told I had a 95 percent chance for a fatal heart attack and the doctor told me, he says, I've been asking you for eight years to lose weight. You haven't done it. I don't know what else to do. When he told me 95 percent chance for fatal heart attack, that resonated with me. Now, normally being in the ninety five percentile is a good thing. Unless it's a death sentence, then it's not so good. So I took action and people ask me, Well, what did you do to lose the weight? And I'm honest with people. I went on what they call HCG, and that's a hormone for pregnant women that tricks your body into burning fat and you're on five hundred and fifty calories per day for six weeks. And that's the way to lose the weight quickly. However, it's not sustainable, and I have six friends that did the exact same thing I did at different times and every single one to have gained weight back. The difference being is they didn't change their eating habits. So when you go on a diet? Diets are temporary.
Speaker3:
They're extreme, they're hard to stick with and they're potentially hazardous to your health. And they're designed to fail. So if you didn't lose weight on the last night or didn't keep it off, it's not your fault, it's the diet's fault. Diet is to blame. And what I did is I was always fit and trim when I was younger. However, with most people, life gets in the way. As a former attorney, you know, I was busy with work obligations and family obligations, and the weight crept up on me. And that's how I became 50 pounds overweight. So started reading books that I had from the 1970s by Paul and Patricia Bragg, Jack Wayne, Richard Simmons, William Dudley, who wrote Sugar Blues, and then I started reading books that are more current, and what I realized is the current authors are not teaching the basics. They're teaching, selling their products or services and giving a lot of inaccurate or misleading information. So I came up with break the chains of dieting to show people they can do what I call common sense approach. We all know what to do. We just don't do it. And that's the nine fundamental must have principles. And people look and say, Well, I know that I understand, you know, that. Are you doing it? And if not, why not? And then the excuses come out and we all procrastinate.
Speaker3:
We all put off until I'll start my new eating habits or my diet. On Monday, I'll start after vacation after the holidays that are coming up. After the company picnic, after we go to our fancy restaurant with our friends that we like, there's 10 different top ten that have listed in the book for reasons people procrastinate, so it's important to make a decision number one to start. Number two, make the commitment and then follow through. Too often, people will start a weight loss regimen, a diet and after three weeks they don't see results, so they stop. Unfortunately, what happens is people start exercising more and they don't realize fat and muscle weigh the exact same five pounds of fat as five pounds of muscle. However, muscle takes up a lot less room than the fat. And so when people look at the scale, they get frustrated. It's like, I've been doing this for three weeks. I'm doing everything the scales not moving, and I had a client that went through that and I finally asked him. I said in his name, is David. Also, it's a date. Are you exercising? He says, Yeah, I'm walking five miles or riding my bike and doing other things. It's great. How do your clothes fit? Oh, they're loose and people are asking if I'm losing weight? I said, Don't worry about the scale.
Speaker3:
Your clothes will tell you everything. And sure enough, a couple of weeks later, the scale did start moving in the right direction and drop. People stop after three or four weeks. You got to keep going. The diet is like a sprint. It has a finish line, a goal. And when people reach that finish line or goal, they revert back to their old eating habits. However, if you think of modifying your eating habits and behavior to a lifestyle and it's considered compared to a marathon where you just keep running that marathon, there's no finish line. You're like the Energizer Bunny Rabbit, you just keep going and going. So it's important for people to understand. It's a lifestyle and modification of your eating behavior, and you want to incorporate foods that you like that are healthy for you, so you don't want to eat something that you don't like because then you're not going to do it and you want to focus on the positive. 80 percent of our thoughts are negative. Imagine if you change that to 80 percent of your thoughts being positive. So turn things around instead of saying, Oh, I'm disappointed or upset that I'm sacrificing, not able to have the talk that the candy bar, the ice cream, the cake and focus on, Oh, I'm looking forward to eating the apple or the orange, the pear or having the nice meal that's healthy for me.
Speaker3:
Different mindset. Different way of looking at things. Focus on the positive because what you focus on expands. So we were talking a little bit before, and I was talking about the dog story that was told by Darren Hardy, the author of The Compound Effect, and that was one of the books I saw in your library. And Darren explains. That there's a man walking to work one day and he passes a porch and there's three dogs, two of them are up in yelping and barking, and one of them is just kind of whining and moaning. And this goes on for a week. So the doctor or the doctor, the businessman goes up to the front door and asks the owner of the dogs. Is this your dog? And he says yes, and he goes, Well, why is he crying and whining? Why doesn't you know what's bothering him? He says, Why sitting on a nail? In the business, man sitting on a nail, why doesn't it get off? The owner of the dog says it doesn't hurt him enough, and that's with our weight. If it doesn't hurt you enough to lose it, you're not going to do anything to change your eating habits.
Speaker1:
Goodness sakes. I mean, there are so many bombs of wisdom here that you know what this is, David. It's what I call a bomb dropping moment. Wait for it. Oh yeah. Bombs of wisdom, smart bombs, bombs of knowledge you just heard, you heard everything you need to know in about five minutes. He gave it, he gave you, Oh my gosh. I talked about writing notes for all of you that are watching the show, I implore you do that. I'm I'm interviewing. I'm part of the show and I myself have nearly a page already just getting writer's cramp. And I'm loving that 80 percent positive, right? Changing that mindset. That's huge, by the way. People that work out and exercise, you don't lose weight very fast because you're gaining muscle, which weighs much more in a smaller package than fat does
Speaker3:
Always the same. It just takes up less space.
Speaker1:
Yeah, that's kind of what I was. Thank you. Yeah. You won't see massive growth in a muscle which will tighten your clothes, but you will see it will happen. You'll have growth in your muscle, which you probably won't see right away. You definitely won't, but it will. It will increase the weight overall when you get on the scale. So you're losing fat and you're increasing muscle. That's why people get so frustrated and say this isn't working well. Actually, it is. And there's another thing I love to say, and bodybuilders know this all too well. The mere existence of muscle burns fat bodybuilders lose pounds overnight because their muscle is consuming the energy that their fat stores have, and it's just amazing to me. So it's a wonderful thing. If you understand how your body works, then what do you think, David? It's still a good thing to exercise. Then it's just as long as you know that the key is not to hang your head on what the scale says is on how you feel, how you look, and then what a doctor visit results in.
Speaker3:
Maybe exactly what I tell people is 100 hundred percent of your weight is based on what you put into your your mouth. Exercise is very important for overall fitness and overall improved health. However, people who exercise to lose weight usually will overestimate how many calories they're burning and underestimate how many calories they're consuming because they're hungry. And again, they're not putting the proper fuel into their body. It's not going to help their body. Our bodies are incredible machines, and we need to treat it like that and look at food as fuel rather than for comfort rather than for socializing. So there's different aspects of it and the number one principle in the book that I'm going to share with the audiences to drink more pure water. And why is that so important? Our bodies are 60 to 70 percent water, not soda, diet soda, fruit juice or fruit flavored beverages. So seventy five percent of the U.S. population is chronically dehydrated. There's a correlation because 73 percent of the U.S. adult population is overweight. Of which forty two percent are clinically obese. The other thing is a lot of times people think they're hungry when actually they're thirsty, so you need to drink more pure water for various reasons. The next question I'm usually asked is, Well, how much water should I drink? The minimum is 60 four ounces of pure water. On average, though, you should drink one half of your body weight. So if you wait two hundred pounds, you should drink 100 ounces of pure water each day. Now, if you're a bodybuilder or exercising or doing a lot of physical activity, then you need to drink more water. So that's the most important thing. Also, if you drink a lot water, your fuller your digestive system works better and you're not eating as much.
Speaker1:
Yeah, another bomb dropper. I'll save that for later because we want to do more than watch the bombs drop it. So true. And yeah, but what do you say to those that say, Well, geez, David, that's a lot of water. Am I ever going to be able to sit at my desk or do anything but go running to the bathroom all day, especially anyone that's like, say, my age or around my age where that kind of becomes an issue? Do you get that often from clients when you tell them about the water issue?
Speaker3:
I do. What I tell them is your body gets adjusted so that you're not going to relieve yourself as often. And I'm a lot older than you are, Bryant, so I will kind of resent that you're saying that it's based on age. You know that we have those issues. So I'm 66 right now.
Speaker1:
There is no way that's possible, and I'm saying that with absolute love and respect, and I didn't in any way mean to put you in a certain light because you're not you're you're in a much brighter light than most people. And that's why I love having you on the show and getting to know you better and you got a great sense of humor and you're here to help people. That's the bottom line. And it's not that you're just trying to help people. You you truly are helping people, and we will go take a look. In a moment, if you're cool with it, I want to. I want to go down the path more of your website, what you do to provide people assistance on there. The reason I'm bringing this up now is because there are people who have spoken about how David has changed their lives and their on his website as well. And that's amazing. He's been interviewed by, you know, top shelf individuals. Kevin Harrington is on there, one of the original sharks from Shark Tank, as seen on TV creator. I mean, this dude is amazing and so many others. You've been on quite a few great shows. And the great thing I love about it, David, is that is getting you the exposure that people need. People need to see and hear what you have to say, because who here does not want to? Well, who wants to, who wants to stop counting calories, who wants, who wants to not diet ever again and who who doesn't want to have to lean on and rely on exercising. I don't think anybody is saying, Oh, that's me, no, no. Everybody wants to do it, and David's found it. He's not just a speaker of the truth, he's a doer of the truth.
Speaker1:
That's what I love that, you know, you can rest assured that if David wrote it, it works that way. And he's got nine nine fundamental must have principles for a healthy weight loss. And so you said, and I want to point on this real quick, David, if I might. You said something about if you just follow these nine fundamental principles, then you can have the success you're looking for when it comes to your health and your and your weight. And I liken that to business because what you provided, David, is a step by step recipe. All you need to know are the ingredients and the steps to take in what order, and you're going to have success. If that recipe got made it into a book, then somebody made a successful, I don't know, cake. That's a bad example, I know, but I've never made a cake. And if I had a recipe book that had, you know, the ingredients and told me the exact step by step and it was by a well-known chef, I'd feel pretty good about my odds or my chances of making a successful one, having never done it before. Well, what's different about what David is doing? I'm showing my notes, but it's his book. It's the ninth fundamental must have principles if you just follow those and that's all you need. But David, we were talking before we started, before we started the live show behind the scenes and you were talking about, well, if they just concentrated on a couple or a few of the nine to get started, would you be OK with if I asked you to share what those are and why?
Speaker3:
Sure. The first one was drink more pure water. The second one is to avoid highly processed and manufactured foods. The third one is to eat slower because we all eat fast and I call it mindless eating when we're working at our computers, watching TV or even driving. The fourth one is to have smaller portions. What a lot of people don't realize is our portion sizes have been supersized without us realizing it. In the nineteen hundreds. The average size dinner plate was nine inches in diameter. Today, it's 12 inches. Yet in Europe, it's still nine inches. Not only that. When you go to a restaurant, the average serving plate is 13 to 15 inches. So what I tell people is get it to go box right away. Cut your portion in half put, have to go and eat the rest because now you're eating the right amount of food and you get two meals for the price of one, so you're saving money. So that's one thing and one thing I like to bring up because this is about business to a lot of people, especially entrepreneurs will spend their health chasing wealth and then later they'll be spending their wealth chasing their health. So you want to have a good balance. And if you don't do it for yourself, do it for your spouse, your kids, your grandkids because you don't know what impact you're going to have. Or even if you're, you know, an entrepreneur with a business owner and you have employees that rely on you. Go ask them what would happen if you're not around or if you're incapacitated.
Speaker3:
The other thing is, you know, type two diabetes is very prevalent now. It's reversible. It's also preventable. I was fortunate I avoided the heart attack. I avoided the stroke. I avoided type two diabetes, unfortunately. I have friends and colleagues that weren't so, so lucky. And so they're dealing with it and again. I'm attempting to educate them as to modifying their eating habits and what people have to realize is it takes sixty six days on average to create a new habit not 21, not 30. Research has shown in England sixty six days, so people need to be patient. And what happens is they see the commercials on TV with the national brands lose 16 to 20 30 pounds, guaranteed the first month. And yes, diets work part of the time. And yes, you will lose the weight. However, it's not sustainable. 90 percent of the people that lose weight on a diet gain it all back, some even more. So what you want to do is change your eating habits, change your behavior and change your lifestyle and do in a way that is enjoyable for you. And that's why I wrote the book, and I included a lot of short stories and their stories, not of other people's success. It's stories with life lessons, and you can apply those life lessons to your eating habits and your lifestyle, and also to every aspect of your life. So I attempted to do my best to make the book entertaining so people would find it fun to read.
Speaker1:
All right, it's time. There was so much there, just so much. It's the graphic it didn't come up, I feel and feel like we lost something there, it kind of flashed, but my goodness. Unbelievable. Amazing. One of the key elements that stuck out, there's so many, David, that was phenomenal was we will often do more for others than we will do for ourselves. So make it less about yourself and now start thinking about, like you said, David, is what impact are you having? What are your choices? What how are they impacting others around you, your spouse, your kids, your family, your employees? If you have them that are dependent upon you, who is dependent upon you in some way, form or fashion, somebody always dependent on on you in some degree. How are you going to affect their life by the choices you're making now, either good or bad? And we be very in tune to that because what will happen is you will do more for that reason than you will for just, oh, I don't look so good in the mirror right now. If you have a bigger Y and it's outside of you, I've seen it time and time again, myself being a former certified personal trainer. If they concentrate on other people, maybe their parents, they need to take care of them. They get an elderly, they need to be there for them. And if they're not high energy, they're not going to be able to do it. So many things you could go down that. I think that's one of the most powerful motivators of all of them that I've ever experienced as a personal trainer. Where does that fit for you, David, in your experience? Is that one of them that's up there or are there others that you've experienced that really are key as well?
Speaker3:
Well, no, that's that's up there. And what gives me a lot of satisfaction is when I get emails from people saying I can play with my grandkids again on the floor, I can keep up with my kids. I can participate in hiking or walking or doing physical activity where I wasn't able to do that before. What happens is when you start shedding the weight and you do it in a healthy way, you start having more energy, you feel better, you look better. And then what happens is people start wanting to get more into exercising in the physical activity. So I always tell people, first, drop the weight because your body will feel better and then start to exercise and to get fit and improve your overall health. Most people reverse it and they go, make a New Year's resolution and they go to the gym and they set unrealistic expectations. So they'll say, I'm going to work out five days a week or seven days a week. That's not realistic with work and family obligations. Do it three times a week for 30 minutes, not for three hours unless you're going to be a bodybuilder or, you know. Want to be Mr. Olympic or Mr. Universe, that's a different story or the Olympics are for just overall health. You can do 30 minutes for 30, three hours. You know, I mean, 30 minutes for three days a week. And that's more than fact. A lot of research is showing high intensity. Seven minutes is more than enough, a couple minutes a day. The key is putting the right fuel into your body and getting your body healthy from the inside out. The other thing is just because you're thin doesn't mean you're healthy. There are a lot of thin people out there, and you don't know the reason that they are thin. They may be a drug addict. They may have medical issues, health issues. So don't always judge somebody by what they look on the outside. You know, it's what you're putting into your body.
Speaker1:
Oh my gosh, so many great wisdom nuggets there and what you said about exercising. And it's so true. And it took me till age fifty seven. Just, I mean, very recently to finally just say what you said is is like, I'm talking to myself, Brian, I'm not going to be a bodybuilder ever. I don't want to be one. So why do I push myself so hard when I start exercising? It's like I'm back in high school and trying to bench the most or, you know, be the biggest and the baddest and all that. I'm like, Who my? I'm not here to impress anybody. I'm here to live better, live longer, live happier. That's it. So why not enjoy the journey more? So I'm literally now. Instead of jogging on a treadmill, I'm walking at a high pace and going up and down, and there's some. We just got a NordicTrack. It's awesome advertising for anybody. It's just you follow this guy in Wales and he's walking all over these mountains. I'm like, This is fun and I enjoy it. And then when I'm done, I get get into my office where I have an x three bar or a band and bar, and it only takes 15 minutes to work out. It's easy, it's fast and you you can build if you want. You can build muscle quickly with this and it takes a grand total of forty five minutes and I'm done. I'm at home and I have to leave and I'm happy. I enjoy it. I look forward to walking in Wales. It's pretty frickin awesome. So that took me a long time. The male ego was just to, you know, we got we got to build a big and build strong and build fast. And I'm like, You know what? My knees aren't as good as I used to be and other things. I've had both shoulders operated on and had to stop working on during those periods. So it's time to just take it easy. Have a good time and then just think about all the great things that'll happen when your mind is also happy while you're doing it.
Speaker3:
Yeah. With, you know, proper eating, you get more mentally alert and you don't need the energy drinks which are bad for you. So that's a lot better. You don't really want to put that poison into your body. You don't really drink the sodas with the caffeine. Starbucks is one of the worst. They have what I call their food, food, drinks,
Speaker1:
And they call them that, too. That's so funny.
Speaker3:
Well, they have anywhere from fifty to seventy six grams of sugar in it. If you're a female, you only need about twenty five to thirty grams of sugar a day. If you're male, about thirty five grams to 50 grams of sugar a day, and people are consuming two or three of these drinks with fifty to seventy five grams of sugar a day and then eating on top of that. The other thing is the average American will consume thirty six hundred calories per day. You only need about hundred and fifty to seventeen hundred and fifty calories to maintain a weight. And the average, you know, the daily requirements are based on 2000 calories a day. So people are getting almost double the calories that they really need and that all calories are created equal. You know, an apple is about 90 to 100 calories. Fix your body. Twenty five calories to digest it, so it's a net of seventy five Hershey bar, one hundred and twenty five calories, zero nutritional benefit. Zero calories to have your body digest it. So there's different ways of looking at things. One thing I like to also mention is red and yellow are color stimulants. You know, appetite stimulants. That's why McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Denny's, all the other fast food places use yellow, red or combination of both for their color and marketing. Blue is an appetite suppressant, so whenever you get an opportunity to use blue, I use a blue light and it's a dinner. I mean, it's a salad plate instead of a dinner size plate. And that's how I reduce my portions. And when you have less food on your plate, you eat slower.
Speaker1:
Wow. I mean, it makes it makes total sense every bit of it. Oh my gosh. So what I want to do is shift over to your website, David, and let people know where they can go and pick up your book number one. And by the way, this show is not designed for advertising things, and it's at my discretion because I'm the show operator. I'm the guy that runs it. When I see something that I know needs to get out there, then I just put it up. And so I, David, am I going to make money from any book sales tonight? I'm not. I mean, I'll say it before. We haven't had that talk, so I'm just here to help help promote anything and everything I find that I know can help people. And what David has is literally life saving information for many people who might have been in a similar situation that he was in back in 2016, with too much weight carrying around in a doctor that just said, basically it's firing him. It's like, I've never heard of that before. I was like, Wow, it doesn't get much more serious than that. So if you don't mind, I'm going to pull up your website and just, you can have me drive if there's any place you want me to click or talk about, but talk about your book for for sure and anything else you would like to. I want to give you this moment to get the word out to help save more lives. All right. Sounds good.
Speaker3:
Sounds great.
Speaker1:
Bring it up.
Speaker3:
So you scroll down, you'll see what others are saying. You got it. There we go. And one of the people that is. Recommending and endorsing the book is Jack Canfield, coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul. And what happened with that is, I said Jack Canfield, a email with a PDF of the book. And I also sent them the spiral bound manuscript like you have with a nice letter. And I get an email a couple of weeks later from Jack saying I received your manuscript in PDF. However, I get about a hundred of these a week. I'm not able to read all of them and I have to read it before I approve anything, so. Best of luck. The next day I was writing, would you reconsider letter when I get another email from Jack saying, I know I told you no yesterday in an email. However, your book arrived, I was intrigued with the front cover. So I started flipping through it, and as I started flipping through it, I started reading it. And it really is a well-written, great book. Congratulations and words to that effect.
Speaker3:
So he approved the blurb for the front cover. And then, you know, I have other people that are on there. Dr. Laurie Schmoke is in Dorset and Forbes Riley, the pitch queen, has endorsed it. Lance Dreyer, he's one Mr. Olympia, Mr. Universe. He's Dr. Fitness. He's endorsed it. And the biggest one was Kirkus Reviews. It was given four out of four stars, which is a high honor to achieve, and I'm very proud of that. Dean Cain has also written nice words about myself. I was interviewed by Dean Cain. Dean Cain is an awesome, awesome person. Can I say enough nice things about him? Dr. Stefan Neff. Is anesthesiologists in Australia. He's read the book and he's written a nice blurb for it. James Mallon check is the kind words about the book and myself, so I appreciate that. And then if you look down below, there's a sneak preview so people can actually go to the book and flip inside and see what is written. There we go. And then there's the Kirkus reviews, they can read that and some more information.
Speaker1:
Fantastic. And a media page does that, so people can book you on their shows and interview you, and it
Speaker3:
Is, it gives a lot of information about myself in the book. And again, I wanted the book to be entertaining and informative so that people would read it and not only just read it and put it away, but apply the principles to their own life and implement them knowledge without using it as worthless. So we may know what you do if we're not doing it again. Reason? Ask yourself why. If I know what to do? Why aren't they doing it? And I'm not a purist by any stretch of the imagination when it comes to eating. I enjoy pizza every once in a while. I enjoy a piece of chocolate cake or pecan pie or pumpkin pie. However, instead of having a large slice, I have a sliver. And when my wife and I go to The Cheesecake Factory and I get a piece of chocolate cake, not always, but sometimes what I used to eat at one sitting. And it takes me four or five nights to finish, so I'm not telling people you're not able to indulge. You can't certain things. I have to draw the line at. I won't drink a soda or a diet soda. I won't touch Eminem's.
Speaker3:
I won't touch a Hershey Bar or Snickers Bar or Pringles potato chips because I was addicted to those. And I know of like an alcoholic shouldn't start drinking because if you do, you won't stop. So I'm aware of that, and that's how I look at it. Some people, they're able to go back and start having some of those things and watch what they eat. I know that I'm able to. And what people need to realize is our food is being scientifically engineered so that it's. Optimize your cravings for fat, salt, sugar and texture, and you're never satisfied, and I don't even call food, I call it edible products, and it's not what it does to your body immediately because we don't realize what happens after 10, 20, 30 years that we start realizing the toxic build up. And some of these things cause, you know, the type two diabetes, the heart attack to stroke, certain types of cancer. It's just a lot of it is preventable. The main thing is the quality of your life. If you can enjoy good health by watching what you eat and have more energy, why wouldn't you want to do that?
Speaker1:
Absolutely, and I just put your URL in the comment section for so people can easily click on it, either now or later. Don't do it now. Remember in the beginning it's but I do want to say it verbally for those that are listening. It is break the diet chains, break the diet chains and break is spelled the way it should be b r e a k instead of. I know others will think of it a different way. Break the diet chains and get that book from David Madejski. He knows what he's talking about. He's living it still to this day. That's what I love about him. He's not just a talking head, he's not out to just make a buck, but I hope he makes a lot of bucks. And why? Because people like David will do nothing but scale his business and help more people with that. You know he will. You know, I hope David goes out and buys and splurges if he really takes it from this level, wherever he's today to another stratosphere. He deserves to enjoy himself. Let's let's applaud him for that. Let him have his fun go. Get that second, third, fifth Lamborghini, whatever he wants to do and enjoy his life with his wife however he chooses. But let's bless this man and help spread the word, and when we can do that is simply by buying his book and reading it. And like he said, Don't just read it, implement it, do it. There's three stages to success, and I talk about this often it's number one is learn. That's when you read the book. Number two is do that's actually put in action. The nine principles he's got in the book. And then number three and the most important is teach. And for you, the simplest way is to just to say, Hey, I read this amazing book. I implement it. I have great results. I recommend you get it to there. You've covered all three
Speaker3:
Or better yet, give it to them is a gift.
Speaker1:
Yes. Yes. And gosh, I know this is a this is a live show and we are coming up on Thanksgiving and then Christmas. So what perfect time to give the gift of life, huh? Life and not just saving a life, but of a life of vitality, of vigor, of fun, of enjoyment, of joy itself. And so goodness sakes, David, I knew this is going to happen because I'm very near and dear to this whole topic and I'm looking at the clock. Oh gosh, so I'm so glad you agreed to stand for two hours instead of one.
Speaker3:
That's fine. The other thing I'd like to mention is, you know, people go on fad diets. Fad stands for fat and desperate. And the average person will attempt one hundred and twenty six diets during their lifetime. Wow. What does that mean for your audience? It means diets do not work. So what I tell people is if you want to reduce weight and keep it off, don't go on a diet. Change your diet.
Speaker1:
How many average?
Speaker3:
One hundred and twenty six.
Speaker1:
That's just unbelievable. Yeah. And like you said earlier, the reason that it happens is because they are designed to make you fail. They're designed to make you come back and wash, rinse, repeat. Pay them more money and ingest their products. Follow their schemes so that you'll come back and buy month after month after month. Oh, I did it. I was successful for a month or two, then I fell off the wagon. I better go back to that because I lost weight that one time or Oh, this, this one looks better and easier, and I don't have to. So here's the beautiful thing David didn't coin a term about a diet on this show. His book isn't about coining the term diet, it's about following nine fundamental must-have principles. He shared four of them with you for them for free. Now go buy his book. It's I don't even know it's what is it? Twenty dollars if it's even that, I don't know, you just went on. He's an Amazon. You can say it. What are you already number one?
Speaker3:
Amazon new release bestseller in 10 categories 10 10 later demonstrate that, and the audiobook will be available late December early January.
Speaker1:
Hmm. I'll be all over that
Speaker3:
And I'm excited about that. And the most important thing is, you know, enjoy the holidays, enjoy your Thanksgiving, except take a salad plate and just put enough of what you want to eat on that plate. Eat very slow, enjoy the food and don't go back for more. Enjoy the slice of pumpkin pie if you like or pecan pie. Just take a small sliver and again, learn to eat slow. I was a very fast eater. I talked about some of the stories in the book about how fast I ate food, which people find amusing. The one was we were playing poker one night or we play card games in the dorm and we'd order pizza. And one of the friends said, Jim says I had one slice and Paul said I had one slice, and Jay said I had one slice and they look at me and I said, Well, I guess they ate the rest, which is about eight slices. So after that, they limit me to two slices. My nickname in college was Turbo, which was short for turbocharger because they said I ate food like a turbocharger guzzle gas. Wow. So if I can eat slow, you can eat slow. The other thing is, I talk about at the same time, we went off for dinner for lobster tail. I was the last one done eating and there, like, is there something wrong with you? And I said, No, I'm fine.
Speaker3:
That's a. Why are you so slow eating, I said I was enjoying it, so I was able to eat slow, I just chose not to. So now I choose to. The other thing is, you know, if you're looking for a snack, raw almonds is a great snack food. I count out 10. I don't take a handful and then I make it a game of how slow I can eat them because otherwise, sometimes clients will say, I grab a couple of handfuls, a couple of handfuls. Well, that's each handful is about 100 calories each. So they just had three or four hundred calories without realizing it. And if you're allergic to nuts, there's other things you can eat as snacks. Cherries are great. Blueberries are great. And apple is great. Avocados is one of the healthiest foods you can eat once you don't turn into guacamole and put everything else into it. So I enjoy food for, you know, the taste that their pure form rather than adulterating them and read labels. The most important thing to do when you look at a package for your food products is not just be mesmerized by the calories, the sodium, the protein, the sugar. Look at the fine print. They make it very small with the ingredients because a lot of times the marketing, they mislead you on the label and you're not sure if you're getting something that's really nutritious and healthy for you.
Speaker1:
I like to say, if you can't pronounce it, don't eat it.
Speaker3:
Exactly.
Speaker1:
You know, the high clock food, Thorazine, blah blah blah. I'm like, What the heck is all this? I can't eat. I don't even know what half the stuff is and aspartame and all the other horrible things that are put in. And then we were talking before the show, and I know it's not as true today as it used to be. But when you go into a grocery store, one rule of thumb that I always told folks was Shop the perimeter of the store. You're more likely to get fresh, unprocessed foods un injected with steroid foods. You'll still find the meats that are not good. So like, like David is saying, look at the labels, read them, have a discerning I look for organic and then do your research and find out is it truly organic? Are there any reports that they're finding ways around it to be able to legally state they are organic? You can go to different specialty stores that are all over the place. Some cost more money. And then, you know, for those that say, but it's so expensive. And then I want to say, but what is your life worth? Not that you're going to die, but what is your life and your enjoyment of your life day to day worth? Is it? Is it not worth that much? Is it not worth improving?
Speaker3:
But yeah, well, I like to tell people is if you think eating healthy is expensive, try getting sick when you have medical bills, even if you have good insurance, it's very expensive. And we were talking earlier. Plant based meats, the imitation artificial meats, they're not healthy for you. They're full of toxic chemicals, so it's misleading when they're saying it's a plant based. Therefore, it must be healthy for you. Again, it's misleading. And Dina Dietrich played Mother Nature in the chiffon margarine commercial in the 70s, and her line was It's not nice to fool Mother Nature. And that's what I tell people. Look, it's not nice to fool Mother Nature because she'll come back. She never loses and it will bite. You may not be today or tomorrow, but 10, 15, 20 years from now, you're going to be looking back and saying, I wish I had done things differently. And so take the warning. I'm like the ghost and Scrooge, you know Marley. Given Ebenezer the warning, you can still change. There's time. So here's hopefully you get your own wake up call and don't wait till it's too late.
Speaker1:
Yeah, grab the book, follow his nine principles, if you do nothing else, watch the show again and follow the four that he already shared and get started. You don't have to wait for the book to arrive. You can get it instantly delivered or as e-book. There's Kindle, there's Audible coming in December. I'm all over that. I've got his manuscript here. I went and purchased the Kindle version online earlier in the week, and I'm going to be getting the audible version for sure. That way, no matter what modality I feel like going through to read it, I've got it. I can read it, I can watch it, look at it online on a computer screen through the Kindle version, or I can listen to it. Just get one version that works for you on any kind of a crazy guy when it comes to stuff like that. But I appreciate this all. So, David, we're getting to the end and what I like to do with every guest. I have this one very special question. I like to ask every guest that comes on the show. And the reason is because I was asking it because I asked it a few times and I just started realizing, Wow, the answers are pretty profound. They're pretty powerful.
Speaker1:
This has got something behind it. I'm going to keep going with this and ask this every show for a while, and I haven't stopped. It's been that amazing. And so I'd like to end the show with that question. But real quick, before I do that, I did promise those that were stuck with us live to the end that they could enter to win five nights a day at a five star luxury resort. Compliments of the big insider secrets. And you now, for a very brief period of time, have both David. I'll speak on behalf of David because I'm just going to because you have our permission to very temporarily take your gaze away from the screen because you'll need to go to a web page. I know I told you not to do this earlier, but if you want to enter to win, this is the way you do it. I'll put it up on the screen shows you watching that hour here live. To enter the win, you want to go to the following website, it's R.I.P.. I am forward slash vacation all lowercase our white p stands for Reach Your Peak My company. R.i.p. I am for such vacation. Enter to win and we'll announce the winner after the show you will get.
Speaker1:
If you are the winner, you will get an email directly telling you you have won and how to go and get your prize again, sponsored by the big insider secrets. Jason Nass, my very dear friend. This is a legitimate giveaway, by the way. I'm going to bring David back up on the screen here. As I say this, it's legitimate because Jason, the owner of the company himself, has himself used this very prize no less than three times and he's gone and quote unquote tested it to ensure it was not going to be something where they shuttle you off to the basement and then beat you over the head with a timeshare pitch for the six hours or four hours of the weekend that you're there. Doesn't happen that way. It's a legitimate vacation stay. So you definitely want to enter to win that. So do that now quickly, because we got to wrap this show up because, you know, David's going to be mad at me if I run over too late because, you know, he's one of those. He kind of scares me. He's he's fit, you know, and he can probably take me out. So I always want to be nice to him, and I'm totally kidding here. He's a he's a he's a teddy bear.
Speaker1:
He's a wonderful human being. Or he wouldn't be here helping people like he does with his books and everything that's going on. So with that, David Madejski, are you ready for the sixty four thousand dollar question, which yes, I am. I knew it. I knew it. And so there's a couple of things I just want to point out right before we let it rip. And that is the first one is just so, you know, there is no such thing as a wrong answer to this question. It's really unique. No. In fact, the exact opposite is the case is the only correct answer is yours. That's why it's such a profound and unbelievably cool question. And the other part is if if you get the answer, if you have it and it's right there, instantly great. If it takes you some time, like the way you eat your food these days, that's OK to take your time. Come up with the answer that works best because that is all about being your answer as well. Does that make sense? Got it. Got it right. So are you ready for this? You sure bring it up. Yeah, I love it. All right, here we go. David Madejski, how do you? Define. Success.
Speaker3:
I define success by being healthy and striving to improve each day. So it's not a monetary success, it's an overall wellness with my buying body and spirit and just being a better person and improving in that respect.
Speaker1:
And you know how we're going to end this, don't you, David? You know, it's coming. Ladies and gentlemen, that is the one, the only David key. He is an amazing gentleman. He is here on this earth to help everyone he can get in front of. You know that he can physically get in front of that. He can get his book in front of. So definitely go, go and get his book. I've never pitched something so hard in my life on the show, David, and I'm not pitching because I think this will. This is something that is life saving for so many people in so many different ways. So one more time I want to put the website on the screen again. It's break the diet chains go grab your copy or it, it's out there. It's an Amazon bestseller in 10 categories. That is amazing because David is amazing, and I'm not saying that in any joking manner. He truly is an amazing man. And David, I appreciate you truly from the bottom of my heart for doing what you're doing. Please continue to go down this path. You have so many more lives to impact and also think your wife for supporting you in this effort because it's a it's a two person game. I get it. I'm married and it takes a big support system. And we all know that your wife is probably the one doing all the work behind the scenes anyway. So give her a big thank you on behalf of everyone whose lives you've impacted and whose lives you are going to impact, if you wouldn't mind.
Speaker3:
Thank you, Brian. My wife is an angel and she's very supportive and encouraging. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be where I am today in the book wouldn't have been written. So big shout out to my wife.
Speaker1:
That is a real man, I want every child to understand how he disrespected and lifted his wife. That is how it's done. That is why this man is on the mind body business show because he gets it from the inside out. Thank you. Oh, that just that made my night, brother. I love it when a man talks that way about about his wife. It's just so few guys that do that, and I appreciate you for doing that because I'm a firm believer in supporting our Why did we marry them? Why did all that? Thank you. Thank you. Oh, what a way to end it. Beautiful, beautiful. Almost brought tears to my eyes. I'm not kidding you. All right, on behalf of this amazing man, David Madejski, I'm your host, Brian Kelly of the Mind Body Business Show. And we will be back next week with another great episode. Until then, everyone have a wonderful, wonderful evening. So long and be blessed.
Take care. Thank you for tuning in to the Mind Body Business Show podcast at W WW. The Mind Body Business Show Scott.

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.

R-Y-P dot I-M forward-slash stream live. Fantastic. Now let's get to the real fun, and the fun is these amazing people. Dylan, Julie, Tim, Christian. How are you all doing tonight? Thank you for being on this amazing show. Yes. So, what I'd like to do is open it up. Let the folks get to know you just a little bit now. Ok, guys. We're talking sixty seconds or less. All right. 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 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.
