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? And driven. We finally breakthrough? And with that is the question. And this podcast will give you the. My name is Brian. And this. The mind body. Hello, everyone, and welcome. Welcome. Welcome to the Mind Body Business Show. Oh my goodness. We have so many phenomenal entrepreneurs that come on to the show and tonight is no different. You are absolutely going to be enthralled and love listening and learning. From Mr. Hunter Preston. He is in the wings. He's coming on. I cannot wait to share him. His brilliance, his genius. And he's got a unique perspective that you do not want to miss. Trust me on that. The Mind Body Business Show. It is a show that I had developed with you in mind, with the business owner, with the entrepreneur who is looking to find the key. The secret set of ingredients that can finally bring brought together in a perfect recipe, can finally get you to that level of success that you want and that you deserve. And so I bring on successful entrepreneurs from all over the world and from many different areas of life and business perspective, and in such a way that when they come on and they exude their brilliance, their values and everything that they do to become successful, all you need to do is simply model what they have done to to achieve success. And model is a very fancy word for copy. And many will resist doing that. Why? Because copy as we were growing up was a bad thing to do. Teacher said, No, no, no. Well, now that we are grown adults, it is the exact opposite. You want to copy, you want to model those who have achieved success because doing it on your own, let's face it, it will take a lot longer. It's already been done. I guarantee it. There's no need to try to figure it all out on your own when someone else already has.
Brian Kelly:
Find that mentor, model them and then take off and really make a difference in this world. And I cannot wait to bring on Hunter. He's going to give you some great nuggets of wisdom that you're going to be able to take forward into your life. Implement them and change not only your life but those around you in a much more profound and better way. So I cannot wait to bring them on and what the Mind Body Business show is about. My mission and purpose is to really showcase each guest and so that you can get the most out of this. And so really pay attention and stay on to the end. We got some great gifts at the end as well. For those of you that stay with us live to the very end. So looking forward to giving that all to you as well. And the mind body business shows about what I call the three pillars of success. And you might guess that that's part of the name of the show Mind Being Mindset. Now, I have studied successful entrepreneurs for over ten years. I made it a point to study just successful entrepreneurs. And what I found was that to a person, each one of these successful business people had a very positive, powerful and most importantly, flexible mindset. And then body to a person. Each person, each one of these successful individuals also took care of themselves physically, literally, physically, by exercising regularly and eating and drinking nutritionally. And then business. Business is multi multifaceted. And what these individuals had done was they had mastered the skill sets necessary to develop, build and scale very successful businesses. And these are skill sets that involve things like marketing, sales, team building, systematizing, leadership, and the list goes on and on. And being astute as you all are, that are watching and listening right now, you know that to master anything can take a very long time. The good news is you personally do not have to master each and every one of them. In fact, if you were to concentrate on just one and it was one of them I just mentioned, because there are many more. If you were just to concentrate on just one of these these skill sets and master it, then all of the rest can fall into place much more naturally, much more quickly, without you mastering every skill set.
Brian Kelly:
Anybody want to know what that is? Anybody at all? If nobody responds, I'm not going to tell you. I'm kidding. I'm joking. It is the skill set of leadership. When you have mastered the skillset of leadership, you now have the qualities to bring in those people that have mastered the skill set. So you have yet to master, or you may never master because of how long it could take to master every one of these skill sets together. And so now that you've brought in these people that have mastered those skill sets, you can just orchestrate them through your leadership skills and build a massively beautiful and successful business. That is what the Mind Body Business show is all about, and it's about getting you to the results you want and deserve faster. And another great artifact of all of these very successful people is that to a person in my studies, every single one of them were also very avid readers of books. And with that, I like to segway really quickly into a little segment I affectionately call Bookmarks.
Announcer:
Bookmarks. Born to read bookmarks ready steady. Read bookmarks brought to you by reach your peak library dotcom.
Brian Kelly:
Yes. Reach your peak library. And yes, Hunter is coming on in just a couple of minutes. Stick with me. You do not want to miss this young man reach your peak library. A real quick word of advice for everyone watching, even if you're listening on podcast, is rather than succumb to that itch to go off and look at these resources on your browser, on your phone, elsewhere, while the show is going on, rather than do that, I implore of you to instead get out an old fashioned pen and paper, or you can do it on your notepad, on your computer and write the resources down. So in this case, reach your peak library. Just write it down and forget about it for now, when the show is over, then go back and take a look at each one in turn. Because I know Hunter is going to have quite a few of his own that he's going to reveal. And yes, you'll need that to go collect your gifts and enter to win a drawing. That's pretty awesome. I'll tell you about that in just a moment. Rather than take your attention away from what Hunter saying, I would hate for you to miss because your attention is elsewhere and you're out there scouring these websites and resources while the show is going. And he could be releasing that one, that one smart bomb, that one bomb of knowledge, that one incredible thing that could catapult your life to the next level. And if you missed it because you are gazing somewhere else, I would just hate for that to happen. So do yourself a favor and take notes and write everything down. Visit it later. That's my that's my soapbox moment before we get going. So reach your peak library real quick is a website that I literally had this built by my team with you in mind, this is a collection of books that I myself have personally read and I haven't just read them. They also had profound impact on me personally, either in my professional life or my personal life, or even both. And so what I did was I started compiling all the books that I had read that that met that criteria.
Brian Kelly:
And here's the thing. I did not start reading voraciously until the age of 47. That was 11 years ago, but not until the age of 47. Thank goodness. My mentor told me about this resource called Audible, which was fairly new at the time, and I learned that I didn't like reading because my eyes would get fatigued and I didn't know that at the time. But then I started listening. I love reading books by listening, so that was my medium. Whatever medium is for you, what you can do is go to this site, pick any book that you want to read, whatever, whatever one speaks to you. There are no order here, no specific rhyme or reason to them. There's not alphabetical. Just pick one and start reading it. And even if you want to get it somewhere else, you don't need to get it from this website. The purpose of this is not to make money. They are affiliate links that go to Amazon, which I don't know, I'll make a few pennies really. Seriously. So it's not about the money. Go to go to Amazon directly if you want and look the book up. I'm fine with that. Just find a book, pick it up and read it because you will notice as you do this and you get in the habit of doing it, you will see things change in profound ways for you and your business. And I put these here because you can at least know that one other successful entrepreneur vets these books so that your odds of picking up a dud are reduced at least somewhat. So that is literally my gift to you. Reach your peak library. Speaking of gifts to you. Oh, yeah. It's the gentleman that's coming on the camera right about now. Let's bring on Mr. Hunter Perez.
Announcer:
It's time for the guest expert, spotlight. Savvy, skillful, professional, adept. Trained, big league qualified.
Brian Kelly:
That's right. There he is, ladies and gentlemen. It is the one. It is the only hunter. Preston. Nobody.
Hunter Preston:
Doing great tonight. How about yourself, Brian?
Brian Kelly:
I'm doing fantastic. I'm excited, I'm pumped, I'm amped. We have a great show in store for everyone because of you. Not because of me. And I can't wait to share you your brilliance, your wisdom, and everything you're doing right now. Before we do that, real quick, a little bit of housekeeping. Everyone can see if they're watching this live over Preston's left shoulder. That's on the right side of the screen at the top. For those of you watching the big insider secrets, that red and white stamp, that is our sponsor. That is my good buddy Jason Nast and his company. And they are allowing us to give away every single show, a five night stay at a five star luxury resort in a multitude of areas around the world. You get to choose. All you have to do is stick with us to the very end. I'll show you how to enter. You write down the URL, you do it after the show is over, right after the show's over. And then I can't wait to see who that lucky winner is, because these are amazing, amazing vacation days. They are legitimate. You are not going to get whisked away to the basement and have a drip water torture about a timeshare presentation. That is not what's going to happen. And I know that for a fact because Jason asked himself, a dear friend of mine has actually used this very thing three times and each and every time he said it was phenomenal. So stick around for that. And a little birdie Birdie told me that there's a gentleman over here somewhere that might also have a gift for you waiting in the wings toward the end of the show. So stick around. You don't want to miss any of that. And then a couple more real quick ones and we'll get back to the man of the hour. Here we go. Let's get to it. So if you're struggling with putting a live show together and it's overwhelming and you might want a lot of the processes done for you while still enabling you to put on a high quality show and to connect with great people like Hunter Preston and grow your business all at the same time.
Brian Kelly:
Then head on over to carpet bomb marketing, carpet bomb marketing. Saturate the marketplace with your message. And one of the key components that is contained in this system, the carpet bomb marketing system, is one that you'll learn how to absolutely master. And that is the very service we're using right here, right now on this show. And it's called Streaming Hard. You see that right there on the screen.

I am forge slash stream live all one word altogether, all lowercase. Back to the man of the hour. It is Mr. Hunter. Preston, I am so excited to have you on here, buddy. I'm going to stop talking here really soon. But before I do, we're going to give you that incredibly long introduction and I'm being a little funny there. We've got a really quick way of introducing this young man to because he's going to introduce himself by the best way he can, and that's by telling you from his own lips. And that's the best and most beautiful way to do it. Hunter Preston is a certified life coach and entrepreneur who has taken a fantastic journey through life to be able to create multiple businesses and a life experience that he is so excited to share with the world. Yep, that's it. Welcome to the show, Hunter Preston. Officially, formally. You are in, brother. You've made it. Finally, we're. On.
Hunter Preston:
Awesome. Thank you, Brian. I so appreciate you having me. And I am grateful to be here.
Brian Kelly:
Oh, man. And right back at you, my friend. And I love to open the show with a question that has to do with the first of the three pillars. And that's the mind. And what I love to do is find out, because here's the thing, I think. The the baseline, the cornerstone, the foundation of one success or lack thereof, has nothing to do with anything other than what is going in that beautiful mind. It's all starts and ends with our own self. It's no one else's fault where we are, and it's all about what's going on in our mind. That's what I've learned over my life of studying successful people. So with you, Hunter, being a successful person, when you get up in the morning and, you know, being an entrepreneur, that there are struggles, there are challenges each and every single day as we go forward in this life. That is why so few become entrepreneurs. There are so many challenges that face us every day for you personally when you get up. What is going on in that big, beautiful brain of yours that is keeping you driven, that is keeping you going forward, no matter what gets in your way? No what? No matter what kind of setback or. Yeah. Setbacks that might come your way. What is it for you that's going on in your beautiful brain that keeps you driven and going? Day in, day out, week in, week out.
Hunter Preston:
So I have established a bit of a routine that I have created for myself. Lots of trial and error has gone into this, lots of testing, lots of planning, lots of lists. But now I have a really great flow to my routine in the morning and it starts out where I wake up in the morning and do my bathroom stuff and teeth and and whatnot, and then I get my mud water coffee supplement. Have you heard of this? It's a coffee substitute that I intake vitamins and nutrients instead of just straight coffee. I'm bringing this goodness into my vitality of life. So I then take the coffee outside to my porch and be in nature where I can interact with it and see it, feel the breeze on my skin. And I have a plant medicine ritual that I do roll my own cigarets and I am a medical cannabis cannabis patient. I consume my cannabis and I perform Wim Hof breathing. Are you familiar with that at all?
Brian Kelly:
No, I'm not.
Hunter Preston:
Wim Hof is an extraordinary man who has many world records utilizing this breathing technique that has been studied by scientists and doctors and publishing the results. I highly recommend you take a look and test it out yourself. I do this and it raises the energy that we all are aware of, that we all feel that dictate our entire lives. I raise that energy by doing this breathing and it pulls into me all of the life force and love of the world. And I envision it all above me, flowing through me, healing me, utilizing essentially the placebo effect of unexplained mental power as you brought up with your pillars, to affect positively my body, my mind, my life. And it fills me up with this happy, bubbly energy that is infectious. And I just want to share it with everyone.
Brian Kelly:
That's the beautiful thing, isn't it? We just want to share things that are successful, that work, that have impact, even if they may seem a little strange at first, which I used to be one of those that would, you know, put up the woohoo sign and say, you know, get away from me. That's that's weird stuff. And I'm not like that anymore. I'm very open. I love hearing this stuff. One of the things I want to point out to everyone listening, that is a success pattern that I've learned from everyone I've interviewed on this show is to almost to a person, not every single one, but Doug on almost everyone in the morning, they have a routine. Does it mean you need to follow the exact routine that Hunter does?
Hunter Preston:
No, absolutely not.
Brian Kelly:
But if you don't have a routine, maybe his is one you can start to model. Depends on you. And if you want to follow his his methods, that's fine. Reach out to him. We'll give you that information at the end as well. Because, look, it works for at least one other individual. That's a recipe for success. That's the point of this show is recipes for success. You only need one. There are many, many recipes for success, but all you need to know is just one that's proven, that does work. And so that is one of the great things about this show, is you get to now write down the recipes for Hunter Preston's success, and then, if you choose, model them step by step.
Hunter Preston:
That's absolutely. Brian I encourage everyone that I meet, not necessarily in any way to emulate what I do, but to see what I do as a contrast to what they are doing and show it as an option for them to try something different to see if it works. I want every person we are all unique individuals. Everyone should be finding their own unique recipe for success and for fulfillment and for happiness. That is, it cannot be done just between two lines and here for everybody. It just doesn't work like that.
Brian Kelly:
And that's why it's so beautiful that the world has someone like you, a coach, that can help them navigate those waters. Right. Because you know what? Isn't it don't you ever find. Have you ever found that it's often harder to build your own business than it is to show someone how to build theirs?
Hunter Preston:
Absolutely.
Brian Kelly:
I find that all the time. I'm like, how come it's so easy for me to help somebody else? But I struggle with my own business. I think it's because we're in it so deep. We have that emotional tie and we don't want to make a mistake and we're worried about that. It's not that we don't care if we make a mistake with someone else. It has nothing to do with that. There's just this.
Hunter Preston:
Psychological pull.
Brian Kelly:
That keeps us from really crushing it in our own way and our own business on our own time. That is why it is so important for each and every one of you to get a business coach or a life coach. We have one right here, right now. And so I would highly recommend that you if you feel so inclined if if if Hunter is someone that you are connecting with, look, not everyone's going to connect with Hunter and he won't connect with everyone else. And same with me as well. But if it's someone you connect with, then we'll give you the opportunity to connect with him at the end of the show. That's what we do. We connect people and especially really wonderful heart serving people that want to help others. And so oh my gosh, we got comments just flying in. Yeah. Lori Anne Hood, how are you doing? You cannot be successful with a closed mind. So true. Yes, we know who this is. This is Linda Bachman. Look at all that amazing. Artwork behind her. That's funny, Linda. It's the exact same thing.
Hunter Preston:
I love all of my beautiful artists. Thank you. Everyone out there. Seth McMinn right here and Ludwig Hennig and Alicia Rockefeller. Rockefeller, I'm sorry. In the middle here.
Brian Kelly:
Great. And there's a theme behind that. We're going to get into that as well because of the wonderful colors that are all involved in that. This is going to be a very interesting show. And by the way, we do encourage you to ask questions, to comment. We love interaction on this show and by all means. And then we'll also give you a shout out on the show for all the lots of people who are going to be watching and listening to this over the course of time, not just now on the live show. This is a recorded show as well. So this is your opportunity to get out there. So be constructive and either ask or comment accordingly. And we'd love to hear what you have to say. And by the way, if you're not watching this live, if you're listening to this either on a podcast platform or you're watching the video as a recording, I would suggest that you write this down and go to the Mind Body Business show. Com Yes, it's a long one. The Mind Body Business show. And then click on any of the buttons that say where and how to watch and register. It's free. We don't spam. All we do is announce to you automatically when the next show is airing live with the link. All you have to do is click it and you're on and you're watching and you get to interact with us. Makes it really simple. You don't have to remember it all the time. So. Fantastic. Fantastic. So. Hunter. I talked about the importance of reading. We did reach your Peak Library segment, and it just it was nothing more than a life changer for me. That's all. It was just a life changer to finally implement, integrate reading books into my life for you. Would you consider yourself also to be an avid reader? And if so, would you mind sharing what book maybe you're reading right now, or which one had the most impact on you thus far?
Hunter Preston:
Oh, absolutely. I have always been an avid reader, and I'm in love with books. I have fallen in love with audiobooks certainly in the past few years, though, and absorbed them so much faster than I did have time to sit and actually read paper books. So I love reading my audiobooks these days. Right now I am listening to and I'm always wondering which to call it. Did I did I read or did I just listen to it? It's audio chanties falling into grace.
Brian Kelly:
Ooh. All right. Falling into. Grace.
Hunter Preston:
It's a very, very peaceful Zen transitionary, stepping into the depths of one's thoughts and soul and really what makes us tick in there, you know, dictating our human experience to the deepest levels.
Brian Kelly:
There was, okay, we have these things called bomb dropping moments during the show. And to illustrate that happens it. Oh, yeah. There we go. We have to stop that from happening more. Just one, though. That was fantastic. Dictate. Was it dictate our human experience? Is that what you said?
Hunter Preston:
Yes.
Brian Kelly:
So did you guys all and gals hear that he he's about dictating his human experience because, oh, my gosh, I teach this a hunter is we all have choices in life. We all choose on how we react to every circumstance in our life. And we all have circumstances. And I'm not talking all positive. Right. And so you can either let your circumstances control your attitude or you can let your attitude dictate your circumstances. And you just said it right then and there. Perfect, because that helps you look. It's okay to get is it okay to be upset with something for a moment or to hunter when it happens?
Hunter Preston:
Absolutely. We are allowed to experience and express emotion. Absolutely.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah. We are human, right?
Hunter Preston:
Yes.
Brian Kelly:
There's no. Denying that. The cool thing, though, is we we then have choice. Once that emotion dissipates enough for us to get our wits, we can then say, okay, I now choose to go down path a or path path. Well, that happened. But now what? What else can I do to, you know, that that could have happened for me, not to me. Let's make it a positive. Or I can say, Oh, I'm such a victim that's going to ruin my life for the rest of my life and take path B, we have that choice. Every one of us does. That is the difference. One of the key differences between the successful and the unsuccessful. Which path would you prefer? Not you? Hunter I'm talking about everyone in general. So yes. Which correct path would you prefer?
Hunter Preston:
Absolutely.
Brian Kelly:
So I love that you said that. I'm sorry I interrupted you, but that was huge. That was huge.
Hunter Preston:
Yeah, you're right. Yep. So that's a that's been a great book that I have recently read and I've read a few of his others as well. Some of my other favorites are Michael Singer, The Untethered Soul. The surrender experiment.
Brian Kelly:
Hmm.
Hunter Preston:
Eckhart Me? The power of now. A new earth.
Brian Kelly:
I love this. You know, I'm literally writing these down. I'm running the show taking notes. And that's not to pat myself on the back. It's for everyone watching and listening. Whenever you are watching or listening to a show like this similar to this, where we have entrepreneurs and your interest in growing your business and anybody gives out recommendations of books in a positive light, write them down if you have audible. I just I have credits still remaining there. I just write after the show. I go and I just get every single book that was recommended because if it had a powerful impact on someone else's life, the likelihood of it doing the same for me is greater than if I'd never heard the book at all. Right. And I've read so many books as a direct result of hosting this show, I can't tell you. And so I recommend that to everyone going forward, not just for just for the show, but as you listen to other interviews and go to seminars and wherever you hear anyone recommend a book, I recommend that you go get it right away. Don't, don't wait. Because if you wait, odds are you won't get it at all. Yes. Emily says such great book recommendations. Thank you, Emily. A lot of people watch it on YouTube tonight. I love it. How are you all doing? Appreciate you coming on. All right, so. Oh, my gosh, we could do this all night. I know that you're on the East Coast, so we're only going to go to about 1 a.m. your time, if that's cool. I'm totally kidding. So one of the things, one of the core pillars of the mind body business show is body. Right. And one of the things that I found and you were kind of touching on it when you were going through that visualization or that bringing in of things that you can't explain and how it made you feel good. And I always talk about the mind and body. The mind and body are a team, and more importantly, the mind and body are your team. Both must be taken care of. Both must be grown and nurtured and stretched. And if one member of the team is not operating at a peak level of performance, then what's happening to the team overall is not operating performance. Right. And so both are equally as important. And Deepak Chopra, I think, said something about how the cells, your your your body is listening because the cells in every area of your body are listening. So what you do is your body is affecting the mind and vice versa. It's awesome. So just want to find out and I think I know the answer, but I want to hear from you. Hunter is is physical fitness important to you? Is it important to your business and to your life and how?
Hunter Preston:
Oh, absolutely. Anyone who has ever met me will absolutely associate me with one thing, and that is the flow arts or POI, perhaps specifically. I'm not sure if you're familiar, Brian.
Brian Kelly:
I'm not.
Hunter Preston:
So the flow arts are a kinetic centripetal force energy activity that one can do. That is fun calisthenics, aerobics as well as yoga and stretching because of the required. Movement that one has to go through. Would you mind if I did a brief demonstration?
Brian Kelly:
Oh, my goodness. That would be awesome. And Derek Winn says he loves you, brother. Excellent. Look.
Hunter Preston:
These here are my pois. And as you can see, they're they're pretty much just strings with LED lights on the ends weighted with these 3D printed heads and handles. These are made by flow toys. I have been buying their products since I first started spinning and they are my favorites. I will turn the lights off just for a second and you'll be able to see a little of what.
Brian Kelly:
I can do with them. Whoa.
Hunter Preston:
So that's just one of the ones that I do. I also have a few others here, but my lead saver here, which is very much making me feel like a Jedi.
Brian Kelly:
And.
Hunter Preston:
So I use these flow charts to not only stay physically fit, but to have a really fun time to raise my heart rate and to essentially go along with the energy of any song that is playing or music that is there. It brings me a sense of peace, tranquility that comes with meditation at the same time as I'm having exercise and fun.
Brian Kelly:
I love.
Hunter Preston:
It's also look at.
Brian Kelly:
Yes. Wow. Thanks so much for that demonstration. My gosh, I think you put Bruce Lee to shame on that first. One for sure.
Hunter Preston:
I appreciate that, Brian. Thank you.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah, thank you. I love the illustrations. It's obvious you've been practicing that stuff. You were very flawless in your execution. That was pretty awesome.
Hunter Preston:
I've been doing that for about 13 years now. It shows. My son was born.
Brian Kelly:
All right. He's got kids, too. I love it.
Hunter Preston:
I love it. Oh, I have fun.
Brian Kelly:
Oh, my goodness. Woo! Okay. Emily says what a beautiful way to express energy in motion. Yes. And it definitely Derek Win says it requires discipline with surrender equals first date. Sounds like we have some students in the mix here, if I may.
Hunter Preston:
That's absolutely right.
Brian Kelly:
Fantastic. You got quite a following here. Appreciate you all for coming on and supporting Hunter. Obviously, he deserves it. You can see and here's one thing I want to point out real quick about what Hunter just did. He could have literally dropped both of those things at any time. Number one, he had the confidence that he probably wouldn't. Number two, he probably didn't care if he did because he's being authentic. And those are two qualities of successful people and the fact that he was willing to put himself out there. This is what I teach as well, is getting out of your comfort zone. Hunter I don't think you are out of your comfort zone. I think you put yourself in it right then and there. But the point of this is, I know everybody was thinking, oh, my gosh, what if that thing hits him in the face? Or what if it if it wraps around his arm and he can't get it back off? That was a great way of demonstrating live. This is you know, this is live right now. And for those of you watching or listening on an audio podcast, you definitely want to come back to the Mind Body Business show. Visit the past shows link and find the link that has Hunter Preston's name in it, because you will get to see that phenomenal demonstration with these really cool. I cannot explain it like numb chuck lights and light saber kind of thing.
Hunter Preston:
They're called. Yep.
Brian Kelly:
So thank you for that. That was phenomenal. You know, one of the questions I wanted to ask you in the show is what makes you happy? You just made me happy. That was pretty awesome.
Hunter Preston:
That's one of my favorite things to do is make people happy and spread that joy. I love it.
Brian Kelly:
Another key to, you know, that's he's hitting on all the keys, folks, about what it takes to be a successful person in business. And that is he's he's centered on other people's happiness, their joy, their results. And that is one of the keys to success, too. Oftentimes, you run into folks that they're just in it for the money. It's all about the money and nothing else. And that money is for them and no one else. What I found in doing this show for now, over three years is to a person, every person I have interviewed is not that way. They are all about serving and that is why they come on the show. Because they're successful. Because they love to serve. They love. Hunter is giving his time right now for free. Right. And he could charge for this if he were charging a coaching fee for all of you. But that's not how he rolls. He's here to give back, to give value, to give you helpful tips and to demonstrate things that work for him that you could possibly look up or reach out to him and say, How did you learn that? Where do I go to learn that? Can you help me? Simple. And people are thinking, what does this have to do with business? Just everything. Just everything. I mean, it's life. Life, you know, relationships and business. There's really not a whole lot of difference. Business is about relationships. Would you agree with that?
Hunter Preston:
Hunter Absolutely. I think it all starts within, as you alluded to there once once we have things within ourselves. Good to go. The rest kind of seems to just fall into place.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah, I totally agree. Totally agree. So one might be curious now. I mean, you just said a few things that got me even more curious that you're a dad many times. Over. And and kudos and congrats on all that. Yeah. And now you're showing us these mad ninja skills with the light flow. You called it the flow arts. Yes. And I was just curious if you would be open to sharing with everyone what is a typical day in the life of Hunter Preston look like when you get up? What we know what you do on the initial routine a little bit. And what is it like for you going through the day so people can get an idea of what a day in the life of a successful business person is like?
Hunter Preston:
Sure. And I did jump the gun a little bit earlier. I started with my my early morning routine. And that is very much my me time that I have for myself, which is great. That is that is so important to start the day off with that that personal time that we take for ourselves instead of pushing it down, pushing it away as if, Oh, well, I've just got to get off to work. I've just got to get this done. I'll, I'll, I'll take care of me later, you know, you take care of you every day. And if you do, you will. Thank you. So after I do what I described as my breathing exercises, I certainly do sit there for a while and meditate. If I am able afterwards and have a few extra minutes, I will absolutely do my flow arts also and raise a little blood pressure. As you saw, my body naturally goes into very stretching and flexible poses while I'm doing those flow arts just to avoid hitting myself. It's just the natural places my body has to go. And so I'm essentially doing a kind of yoga. At the same time. I also am able to implement yoga if I feel like an area of my body is bothering me at that time. So, you know, paying attention to my body every day is, oh, my leg hurts because of something, my shoulder hurts. I will take that extra couple of minutes and change my routine to apply to that specific area exercises or something extra that can help that sore area and listen to my body instead of just ignoring it, ignoring it, push through. Oh, I'll just take an Advil and push through. No, I am going to take 5 minutes and do some stretching on this because it's sore, not just pretend it doesn't exist and take a pill to try and make it go away and then have that be a problem because I just I just didn't do anything about it. So that's more or less my my progression from there. And I would hit my hit my job, which is my main office at the architectural and design firm that I have, as well as the life coach and integration consulting business that I also run. So I have multiple enterprises going and many, many things cooking. I spend and split my time between the different teams of people that I work closely with that I am also building up and bringing up with me to create these awesome dreams that I have planned and thought about for so long. I'm so grateful for every member of all of the teams that I create in these different enterprises, and I'm so excited to raise them up with me as we together create all of these things that are being successfully grown.
Brian Kelly:
I love it. I love it. Sounds like you're a true team person, lead by example, and I really can relate to that in such great ways. My goodness, you're getting so many comments here. I'm just throwing them up because there's so many as you're going on and love you. Hunter It's true gaming and just so many more. Thank you all for making the comments. If you have questions, go ahead and put that in there as well. And you said. Something that's truly a metaphor for success. And that was you know, you have a routine. Routine usually means I do the same thing every single day, the same steps, every piece of it. You just said that if you notice something, you change it up. That's that's a term or that's a form of flexibility, being flexible. That is a very high, highly quality. It's a high quality. I can't think of the. Word. It's a very high quality attribute of successful entrepreneurs, and that is to be flexible. So you're in the middle of doing a physical activity. You notice there's something off and you said, You know what, there's a pain. I've got a solution for that. And you switched right to the solution. It's exactly what entrepreneurship is, is as you're coaching someone like Hunter is, he'll notice something that they need, that they have a pain for, that he might have a solution for, that he doesn't maybe typically always offer the solution for. But he's an entrepreneur and he's thinking out of the box. That's exactly a great example of what it takes to be successful. It it can be learned. Do you agree with that, Hunter? That flexibility can be learned?
Hunter Preston:
I think it has to be learned. I think we go into life a little bit too black and white sometimes where we draw our lines and we say things have to be exactly this way or else. And then we get disappointed by life and we get hurt and we get betrayed and we get sad. So I think that that flexibility is gained from knowledge of not leaning too heavily one way or the other regarding self.
Brian Kelly:
Well stated. Well stated. Absolutely. My goodness. Do you ever exhibit? Do you ever notice or feel the emotion of fear? Like afraid to do something, worried about the outcome, a little hesitant or resistant? Yeah, I see that smile. So you were. If you were to pick one, if you were to pick one, what would you call your greatest fear or resistance or hesitation? And then? And then how do you manage and or overcome that?
Hunter Preston:
Yeah. Fear is is a tricky one. You know, I think that we all have that that within us just struggling to get out, we can scare ourselves out of just about anything if we think hard enough about it. But I kind of feel like that is the secret to fear at the same time is that if we're able to think about something and stop ourselves from doing it just by the thought, why can't we just. In the same line of thinking, not think that thought or not pay attention to that thought? My point is that if we put a spotlight on a fear, if we put it up on a stage and we say, Oh, I'm afraid of this, this might happen, and all of our focus is on it. That becomes our whole reality. It sets everything up to be just that big fear. What if this happens? Call it the whatever. If we let out. What if we go crazy? It will literally dictate our experience and we will have nothing but that fear put up on a pedestal that we can only see. And we can't even see what's really going on. It's the fear. That's all we can see. So I like to just let it flow, is what I call it. I mean, instead of having something up there and focused on it, we are allowed to experience thoughts of fear and feelings of fear and emotions of fear. But instead of clinging to them and saying, Oh, no, look at that, we just let them flow and they have no power. If we take it away and they can just flow right by it to be replaced with something else, because we don't control those thoughts that come. We can't stop them, we can't prevent them, but we can certainly prevent ourselves from focusing on them intently and letting it control us totally. I don't struggle as much with fear as I feel like many do because I try and just shift my focus to things that I do want to pay attention to the passionate things that are in my life, the things that I love.
Brian Kelly:
Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Matthew McEwan I hope I said that right. Fear is the mind killer. Derek Lynn, just ride the tide. I love it. Yeah. Mentor of mine, who I had the incredible privilege of being his lead trainer for a couple of years and would teach from stage neural linguistic programing techniques and things. And he would say this quite often at every seminar, he would say, Here's the bottom line. You get what you focus on. So if you want to if you focus on a bunch of he would say this, if you focus on a bunch of crap, you're just going to get more of it. But if you focus on what you want more and more good stuff, you will get more of that. So it's another here we go again. We have the choice. You get what you focus on. So what you just said, Hunter, is perfect alignment because that's what's happening. A lot of people will have that fear experience and then, like you said, grab on to it and embrace it and not let it go. It's like, no. Yeah. And one thing you would ask yourself, those of you listening, is, how is that serving me? What kind of results am I getting by doing that? When would now be the right time to change that? If that's you? If that's you, yes. Life is all about choices, says Lori and Hood. We've got a great group on here tonight. Thank you all for your wonderful, insightful messages and comments. I love this. This is so much fun. Yeah. You know, it is important. I do want to ask you a question that I already kind of leaked out, but I think it's important that other people realize that being a business person or entrepreneur is not just all about money. What the bottom line that really drives each and every one of us that I've interviewed is what truly what truly fills you? What truly makes you happy, what what makes you so driven to get up and serve people each and every day. So for you, Hunter, if you were to think of what it is that makes you truly happy, is there any way you could put that into a paragraph and let people know what it is that makes Hunter Preston a happy man?
Hunter Preston:
I think that one of the things that makes me the most happy is the ability and the knowledge to take all of the experience that I have had, the things that I have learned. And the pleasures I have gone through, the knowledge I have gained, the skills I have accomplished and achieved and impart those in an understandable way to a young child or other human in some way so that that knowledge can be shared and emulated and enjoyed by other people, so that they don't have to go through the trials and tribulations that I perhaps did through life and share that knowledge with them.
Brian Kelly:
Definition of entrepreneur right there. I love it. Yeah, it's like a, you know, business person. It's it's all about helping people. And we do that typically through our own past life experience, both good and bad, you know. So what was good? Follow that. What was bad? Don't do that. And but the cool thing is, you know, so you can do it relatable so that when you put it in a business setting that you can just say, these are the things I did. I see you going down that path. I would recommend maybe let's change that, alter that direction just a little bit. Let's go this path instead. Let's see how that works and then help them to get to the result they want and deserve much faster. That's what it's about, and I call it the short. It's about getting the shortcut to success, but in an integrity, authentic way. Not the bad kind of shortcut, right? It's about just doing it smart, learning from someone else, taking after their lead. They've already done it. Like I said in the opening of the show, there's no need, no need to do it yourself. Can you do it yourself? Probably every one of you wouldn't doubt it. But would you rather take ten years to get it done? Or 3 to 5 your choice again? It's a choice. Yes. Yes. Every person met is a learned lesson. Absolutely. I don't know how to pronounce that. Yikes. X yikes. I don't know. Sorry if I got that wrong. S and y case. That picture looks familiar. I don't know if I know who that is. All right, so that was phenomenal. Goodness sakes. I just look at the time. How does this happen? Hunter You know, how it happens is because I'm having such a great time. It's flying by. And I wanted to ask you more about your business directly. All right. I started talking about that before the show came on. And I want to get into that therapy that you were talking about in a little more depth. So what I'd like to do is I'll just pull up your website on the screen and I'll also put the URL on the screen and just let you start describing who is it you serve, who are who are your clients, which are ideal client, what is it you do for them? And then if you have a success story or to to tell, feel free to do that as well as I bring up your site. Go ahead and take that away.
Hunter Preston:
Also, not a problem. So at yourself. Coaching and integration consulting. We have kind of a two branch system. The main hub can be categorized as just life coaching in general. Literally, as I described the experiences and things that we gain insights, revelations that we gain from experience, how how to interact with our thoughts, how to interact with our emotions, things that we don't really get taught in school, things that really we don't get taught unless we have incredible parents who go out of their way to really dictate how their minds are working to us and how they dealt with it. It's it's a challenge to find those tools all in one spot to deal with the uncertainties of life. So we're geared towards helping anyone who is trying to coach themselves better themselves, become the best version of themselves that they can. The other branch is the Integration Consulting, which is working with psychedelic medicine. I have multiple psychedelics that are now covered legally and able to be prescribed to people to have these incredible experiences that they can then utilize our coaches to work through integrating those to apply them to meaningful lessons in their life. These experiences are some of the most palpable that people ever experience in their entire life. Counted up with the birth of their first child in their memory, you know, the heartbreak. It's it's that impactful, how these things can change what people think, how they view the world and really how how happy they are. There are multiple studies that came out just this past year regarding PTSD and depression that are in the 80 percentile for success rates with as few as 3 to 6 sessions, PTSD and depression are just gone as opposed to pharmaceutical studies have something like a 23% success rate and then you're on it for the rest of your life. It's not something that they're trying to get you off of and heal you. It's something that they want you on forever. These psychedelic medicines are geared towards healing people so that we can be okay with being exactly as we are and utilizing the power of our mind, our thoughts, eating healthy foods, exercising flo arts to raise our vibration and energy and all the tropic breathing energy work. Reiki This is all stuff that we can do to manipulate our bodies, health and the quality of our life. And so that's our, our whole goal for the coaching and integration services that we offer. And I'm very passionate to share all of that with as many people as I can to help the world see a different way of looking at things.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah, and we were talking before the show and I know this can come out as being somewhat controversial and that's good. That means people will not forget it. Psychedelic integration therapy is something I hadn't personally never heard of before talking to Hunter right before the show, and I thought, Wow, that sounds interesting. Tell me more. And he said, It's legal. So we can all get over that, right? We can get over that right now. Because so many people and.
Hunter Preston:
I have I have a doctor and a prescription for my medicines. And the you know, there's a lot of people have a little bit of a scary feeling when someone says the word psychedelics. You know, a little shiver runs down their spine. They think about, oh, something's going wrong, someone's going to jump off a building or something and think they can fly. You know, these things are based on propaganda that we have all absorbed as part of our culture and are not actually based on real experiences that people have had and dictated. If we. Are able to be prescribed safely by a doctor. These medicines and we are able to have these experiences, they are have the capacity to change the way we think and see the world. They have the capacity to change everything.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah. And I think I'm trying to find it here. Lori Ann Hoods. I think she hit it on the. Yeah, here it is. I think she hit it off the nail on the head. She stepped away from Big Pharma three years ago and have a look back. I think that's one of the big reasons none of us are able to hear of it or embrace, you know, natural cures, natural remedies, natural therapies, because it doesn't line their pocketbooks. And it's been really, really bad. And I know this from a personal standpoint, someone very, very close to me has has had cancer and we have found the cure. And, you know, I had the gentleman on the show, his name is Chris Thistle. So anyone wants to look him up and it's through CBD oil. Cannabis is a magical plant. I did not know anything about it other than you would. I thought you'd put it in a joint, smoke it and get high. Well, this is not the THC version. I'm just talking about the cannabis side. It's a magical plant, and it it has so many positive things that it does. And massive studies have been conducted in Israel where they're allowed to do all this. And Chris has latched into that community and then turned around and saved countless lives. Who people who had stage four cancer all the way up to stage four, he is cured with his formulation. So listen to what Hunter's saying with a lot of. Less scrutiny and more interest in open your mind and be open to figuring out or to researching. In fact, even better, why don't you just reach out to Hunter directly? And to do that, how can they do that? Hunter, I'm going to bring your site back on the on the screen real quick, because I just saw we're already at the end of the show for time, but we can go as long.
Hunter Preston:
No problem. Yeah, they can certainly reach out through the website. Our contact information is on there for submittal appointment input forms for new clients. We would be happy to hear from you and we'd be happy to help you on your journey. I am very much here to change people's minds about psychedelics and the way they see them in the world. I am. Very passionate about it and I am so grateful for being on the show.
Brian Kelly:

I appreciate you for shedding light on things I've never seen or heard of. I love learning new things. That's one of the greatest gifts of doing this show is by far it's amazing. And so it's a gift and you gave it. So I appreciate that very, very much. Thank you for doing that.
Hunter Preston:

Brian Kelly:
All right. My God. We got people just rattling off the comments. This is great. Always in for. All right. Yes. So, yeah, Rick Simpson, oil is another one. That's great. Yeah. Preach this fact, Laurean Hood. I love it. Nature is the best healer. There you go. Oh, he's then forever says maybe it's yikes and yikes. Maybe that's it. Yikes. I don't know. Yes. And Lori and Hood says also thank you, Hunter, for giving us this gift in your time. I couldn't agree more. We have a couple more things to do here, though. We're not done yet. So stick around if you can. Those you watching and listening and what I what I love to do, Hunter, I love to close every show out with a very profound question. Sure. And it's a it's a really profound question. I know, only because I've been asking it for now several years. And the answers have just been very intriguing. Before we do that, I did promise everyone that stayed on with us live that we had not just one, but two gifts. So first, we're going to do the vacation. Stay, give away. Now, remember when I put this URL on the screen, the web address, all you need to do is write it down. And if you're listening life, you can enter as well. Even if you can't see it, I'll say it out loud. All right. So here we go. I'm going to put it up on the screen. And look, you don't need to enter. Don't go to it until the show is over and closed. We will be monitoring the submissions for a good 30 minutes after the show is over after we close this up. All right. So you have plenty of time. Here we go. Who is going to be the winner? Who do you think, Hunter? All right. To enter, go to this Web address, R.I.P. Dot. I am forward slash bifurcation all lowercase our wiped time for slash vacation write that down write it down right now type it in your your tablet into your computer and your phone. Do not go to that website right now because you do not want to miss either Hunter's gift or his answer to this final question. You're going to love it. All right. He's hydrated. We're ready to go and we are going to pull up. And I'll let you lead on this Hunter. He has a phenomenal gift for all of you. And so here it is. I'm going to put it up on the screen and go ahead. Take it away, Hunter.
Hunter Preston:
Absolutely. I be happy to offer everybody a complimentary one hour coaching interview with me. It is going to be difficult to come by in the coming months, and I'm happy to make that kind of a priority for whoever has this opportunity. It's going to be great to work with whoever gets this, and I'm grateful to share that with anybody who is coming to the table.
Brian Kelly:
And please recognize everyone. I mean, he's been on this show for a full hour. That will be a coaching call with you for an hour dedicated and focused on you. And so please understand there's great value in that and treat it with the utmost respect accordingly. And for you to reach out to him and ask for that complimentary one hour coaching interview, just go to his website. I'll put that back on the screen. Go to integrate your life, integrate your life. Go to that contact form that we showed earlier. Click on the contact link or scroll to the bottom end of your name, your email address and the subject put in there. What should they put in there for you? Hunter, So that you notice about.
Hunter Preston:
Just a new client intake would be great just to have the in the subject. You know, especially if they're if they've not been before. Just that new client intake would be perfect.
Brian Kelly:
Wow. And thank you. I mean, that's not a small undertaking. How long is this off for? Because this this show is going to be around a long time in many forms, in many places. So we need to I'm guessing you'll want to put a stop to it at some point.
Hunter Preston:
Sure. Yeah. I very much I very much encourage people to be able to come and take advantage. But I feel at some point a limit for those would come into effect.
Brian Kelly:
All right. So no, no absolute date. But you just you'll just shut it off at some point.
Hunter Preston:
Yes, I think so. All right. After the 30, 30 to 60 would be something like that.
Brian Kelly:
All right. Sounds good. I'll let you decide on that. And you know, a lot of people that are anxious, my my phone is going berserk. I have it on vibrate. Everyone's entering to win the vacation. Stay. It's going nuts, I'm sure. Get text notifications when they do that. So. All right. People aren't following instructions, but that's okay. I appreciate the action takers out there. No problem at all. And so we're about to wrap it up with that one big question. It is profound, as I said, Hunter. And here's the cool thing about it, though. There is no such thing as a wrong answer. It doesn't exist. It's impossible to answer it incorrectly, just so you know that going right into it. And the other thing is that, well, just the opposite. The only correct answer is yours, because it will be unique to you. I know that for a fact, because I've done this a long time and so I love it. And so if it takes you a moment or two to reflect and come up with an answer, that's perfect, if you get it instantly, that's also perfect. Why? Because it's your answer. Is that cool or what? I think that's pretty cool. All right. With that. Are you ready?
Hunter Preston:
I am.
Brian Kelly:
Here we go. Hunter Preston, how do you define success?
Hunter Preston:
I would define success by feeling that everyone that had ever helped me, that surrounded me, was right there at the same level that I was after accomplishing the goal that we had all worked towards together.
Brian Kelly:
Everyone at the same level all at once. That's beautiful. And you know what that calls for, don't you? Hunter? Yes, you guessed it. Your comb. No. The bombs are smart bombs. Knowledge bombs. That is the one. The only hunter. Preston. Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot tell you how thankful and appreciative I am of you, Hunter, for coming on the show tonight to spend an hour with me with all these amazing people who are commenting like crazy.

Appreciate you as well with that Hunter. One last thing. Sure. If you had one piece of advice, one piece of advice only that you would give to a budding entrepreneur, someone who is just starting out. And you can think of just one thing that you would like to impart on them knowing nothing more than they are just starting. What would that be?
Hunter Preston:
I would be to tell them to pay attention to five little things that I always pay attention to. Employee relations being a priority. Honesty with everyone you work with, both in and out of the business. Cooperation, perseverance and initiative. All those things combined need to be present for any successful effort taken.
Brian Kelly:
Those are five fantastic pieces of advice. I can't perfect. Love it. What a great way to end it. Thank you once again, Hunter. I appreciate you and everyone else that came on.

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

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.
