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:
Hello, everyone, and welcome, welcome, welcome to THE MIND BODY BUSINESS SHOW SHOW. Whoo, baby! I've had a little bit of a layoff on this show because of the holidays and I am so excited to get back into it, primarily because of the young man you are about to meet. This guy is a game-changer and I cannot wait to share his brilliance with you. He does something very unique that can really impact your life and incredibly positive ways. We might even get a quick demo and maybe we can follow along and do it with him so that you can get some of the results he provides his clients. I cannot wait, cannot wait. But before we do that, THE MIND BODY BUSINESS SHOW. What is that all about? Well, in my now fifty-six years on this planet, I spent probably the last ten or eleven studying only successful people. And why did I do that? Well, because I kept seeing all these people walking around that had more success than me, and I just finally got fed up and said, "I want to know how they did it" and what I began to find, and these are like mentors of mine that I ended up working with physically that I met. These are authors whom I've met and other authors who aren't even with us anymore on this planet, mentors from all different areas. And what I found over this period of time were that patterns began developing. I began noticing patterns between all of these successful individuals, and they all fell into three different categories that I like to call the three pillars of success. Now, if you look to the right or left him, you can probably guess what those might be. Yes, that's right. Mind, mindset that stands for mindset. And to a person, each successful individual had a very positive, powerful and the most important flexible mindset. And I found out through just studying these successful people and then going deep into it myself, studying the human brain, the subconscious, and realized that our mindset is the foundation of everything we have today. Your level of success or lack thereof. I'm here to tell you, it's 100 percent because of what's going on up here and you can change it. It's amazing. And the body, what is that all about? It's literally your body taking care of it. Like our guest expert, he's got the mind and body and the business all going down. That's why he is on this show. He's a successful entrepreneur. His name is Jay Bradley. By the way, in case you were unaware, Body is about taking care of your body by working out, exercising. I know it's kind of like a four-letter word, but it's not really four letters to some. But it's the most amazing thing you can do for yourself. And we're going to do a light, light, light version of a workout, I hope, today. And don't worry, your muscles won't be fatigued. It'll be great. You're going to love it, body. And it's about nutrition and what you take into your body. And then there's business. And business is multi, multi multifaceted. I mean, my goodness, there's everything from sales, marketing, team, building, systematizing leadership. I could go on for quite some time. The good news is you, myself, Jay, any individual does not need to master every single one of those skills. If you just master one of those. And I actually mentioned one of them by name, the one if you master just one skill set, then you can use that to delegate to others who do have those skill sets that you currently don't have. And that one is leadership. So once you've mastered that skill, then Katy bar the door it's time you can really now scale your business and bring in help. And so another amazing, wonderful attribute of very successful people I found is also to a person. They are also very avid readers, readers of books. And with that, I like to segway into a segment I affectionately call bookmarks.
Announcer:
Bookmarks, born to read. Bookmarks. Ready, steady, read! Bookmarks. Brought to you by reachyourpeaklibrary.com.
Brian:
Yes, there you see it to the side, by the way, real quick. Do yourself a favor and take out a pad of paper and a pen or a notebook or a notepad on your computer, whatever works for you and take notes, instead of succumbing to that urge to click away, to go off and look for these resources, because I know Jay has some and we'll put those up on the screen when it's time and just take notes, take notes, write down the website addresses rather than clicking on them and then visit them after the show., Here's why, the magic happens in the room. Yes, it's a virtual room. I think you understand what I'm saying. If your attention is elsewhere, I would just hate for you to miss one golden nugget that Jay is going to bring to the table that could potentially change your life for the better forever, just because you took your gaze off the screen to go do something else. Take no, stay with us, engage, ask questions, say hi, do all of it in the comments. We'd love to hear, hear from it and we will bring you up on the screen and give you a shout-out as a result. Reach your peak library, so reachyourpeaklibrary.com, that is a website I had developed and I'm not kidding with you in mind. What it is, is a collection of books that I personally read and I vetted them. They are. So not every book I've ever read is in this list. They're there for you so that you have a smaller subset of books to choose from. Should you be looking for that next read. Maybe it's your first read. I myself didn't start reading until my mid to late forties if you can believe that I knew how to read. I just didn't do it. I didn't think it was worthy of my time and now I can't read enough. And you see book after book in here and all I have to do is click on the button there. This all goes to Amazon. This is not what you'd call a money-making website. I just wanted to put a collection of these here together for you because I wish I had it when I first started and then after having started. Now I can go back and go, oh, there's another one. What's my next week going to be? Let me go back to reach your book library. That's all there for. So you can now devour books in any form you, you feel that you like hardcover softcover, Audible that's my personal favorite. If it's available, you click on the button, you'll find out if it's there in the format you like. So, be sure if you're not doing it to get back on the reading train because it is a life-changer. I mean, my gosh, I spent all those years not doing it. I'm glad I'm doing it now. I'm not worried about the past. Get with it as they would say. My humble advice to you. And speaking of advice, it's time to bring on the real expert of this show. He's coming on in just a moment. Here we go.

And the author of Live Look Feel, the 12-week guide to live longer, look younger and feel better. Who does not want that? Right. Let's go officially.
Jay Bradley:
Thank you so much. I have to say, the screen just disappeared. That's why I was like, uh-oh, I'm back.
Brian:
I saw you the whole time. I hope everyone else did. And the beautiful thing is, if they don't see it but they hear you, they will get everything they need out of it, except for the fact that you're like a product of the product here. You're well put together, you're very fit. You look far younger than you are. And I'm not going to divulge that unless you want to, I don't care.
Jay Bradley:
I'm seventy-six, why not.
Brian:
Seventy-six. You look great. So, Jay man, one of the things I love to do with all guest experts to come on this show is so we read a bio and we can tell you had success, your accolades, your experience and all that. And that's phenomenal. You're an author. I mean, that's fantastic. And people will hopefully have a copy of your book. We will bring it up here in a minute and so people can go get a copy of that. But what I like to do is dove deep first and find out, OK, but what got you there? What is going on in that big, beautiful brain of yours Jay? Every single day that when you get out of bed and you know of the trials and the things that are going to come and try to stop you day after day, but, you know, you have a bigger, you have a big mission and you want to achieve it? What is it that motivates you every single day to get up and do it again and again and keep growing your business?
Jay Bradley:
Yeah, that's a great question. I think what motivates me the most is this idea of transformation. First of all, anything transformative take me from point A all the way to the end. Watching people transform is super motivating for me. But more importantly, I think knowing that I have a shortcut for people that took me maybe 30 years or more, that I can take people through a process that that's much quicker, that excites me to know that people don't have to struggle as long as I did. That's one of my biggest motivators. And I really love I love creating. So anything when I'm not in creation mode, sometimes I'm not having the most fun. I always love it when I have new ideas, new projects, when I'm in the flow that way.
Brian:
And so the underlying thing there was, you know. When you realize that you have a shortcut for people to help them, that you discovered after all of your trial and error, you want to help them by saying bypass all that junk that I just went through and get straight to the great results. And to me, all that does is say that you love helping people. And that's a beautiful, beautiful thing and most successful entrepreneurs that I come in contact with, that is a common thing and I like to bring that up for those watching and listening that if you're struggling, it might be because you're thinking too much about how much money you're going to make versus how much you're going to help serve others. And yeah, when you're first starting out, I get it. We've all been there. It's a scarcity environment. You need the money to keep going. And so money is more in the forefront as you acquire more and more clients and more wealth, you're able to shift over into that mindset that Jay has obviously mastered one of servitude and heart-centered giving and helping. And believe me, what he does does just that. It helps people. And we're going to get into that definitely very, very soon. So obviously, you're a very fit young man. I'd like to say, young man, because you are a lot, a lot younger than I am.
Jay Bradley:
For five years? Four years.
Brian:
I carry the two. But I wanted to ask you so you know, what motivates you covered that lot mind. So let's shift over the body. And don't worry, everyone, we're not going to cover all these in crazy detail because we are going to get to Jay and what he does and help you through a demonstration right here on the show. I'm just curious. I think I know the answer, but I would like to hear from you. How important is physical fitness to you, your business and your personal life and why?
Jay Bradley:
Yeah. Physical fitness, I started working out at 13 years old and, you know, I'm I'll be fifty-two in March and so it has been with me a long, long time. And my brother introduced me to weightlifting in our garage at 13. And so, yes, the answer is it's super important. And, you know, I think initially I did because I was a bullied kid and I just wanted to get strong and, you know, try to beat those kids up and protect myself. But then I also realized, obviously, you know, as we get older, it's so important to keep our muscles and our bones strong. And so while I probably did it more for vanity and maybe still do, there are so many other benefits to it. So, yes, it helps my mindset. In fact, you know, with covid right now and the gyms, close make me a little crazy. I'm trying to improvise, but heading to a gym and doing my workouts just really clears my mind more than anything else. And, you know, I think it takes discipline. And I think that is the key to people running their own business. And probably what makes an entrepreneur different than maybe somebody, you know, who goes to work every day in a job. And there's nothing wrong with that. But it takes a lot of discipline and a lot of consistency. And I think I definitely have that down in terms of taking care of my body. And I think it's just from years and years of practice and years and years of habit.
Brian:
And it's a huge difference with corporate. So with corporate, there's discipline, but it's not it's not self-inflicted. It's given to you. You will do this, you know. Have to show up at this time and clock-in. You've got to take lunch at this time. You've got to do what I tell you how to do everything. It's almost robotic. And I just know that from experience and it just doesn't define me at all. I love entrepreneurship. And let's see. And a check. So have Mr. Paul Elwood given some love. Thank you, Paul. Appreciate you for the show. Yeah. Bring on bring all the comments, the love, the likes questions for Jay. So you weren't doing what you're doing today forever. I mean, it's been so recent that you got into what you're doing now. It's long enough to where you are now expert at it. But what ignited the spark? You need to start something new. I mean, you've got a lot of background and different things that you've done over your life. What ignited a spark in you to start this new business that you're doing now and move forward into it? I mean, that's kind of scary for a lot of people to change it completely.
Jay Bradley:
Well, yes, it can be super scary. I think the truth is, you know, I think projects sometimes can fizzle out. And I mean, I was doing health coaching before and I was working in the healing modalities, helping people, but I had lost some of the energy around that, like, you know, I know there's something else. I know there's something else that can really, really make a difference. And I wasn't sure what it was. So when this entered breathing and breathwork, which we'll talk about when it entered my life, I just knew instantly because it was so transformative for me in a really short amount of time that I had no choice but to literally give up everything else I was doing and study and really learn this technique and really quickly committed my entire time and dedicating it to my breathwork business. So I would say inspiration led me there. You know, knowing that, wow, I found something that excites me, that inspires me and that I know can help people.
Brian:
Yeah. So I remember, I think, I don't know if I read it on your site or where the story was, you actually experienced it as I don't know what they call it, a student or a client first, and said holy smokes! And so much that you then created your own business doing the same thing and then you added some things to it. I want to dig more on that, that there's like these really cool. Was that seven of them?
Jay Bradley:
Seven main chakras. Yeah.
Brian:
So let's, let's first before we go into that, if you wouldn't mind, I would love to hear about the details of what you do, what impact it has on the people that are your clients and yourself because you do this with yourself as well. And then how can people get in touch with you to do this? We'll add that in there as well. But I'm really, really intrigued over this whole process that you have mastered and helped other people with? So if you wouldn't mind, give us a good overview of how that works.
Jay Bradley:
For sure. I say that I work in breathwork, but I bring in a lot of modalities. You and I talked about hypnosis. You know, I have experience with that as well. But what I love so much about this deep breathing practice is it literally cracks you open very quickly. Gets you to a place of sort of a meditative state, where all of the deep healing happens. And so what I love so much is when I guide people into this place, I always say the issues are in your tissues. And, you know, I am talking all the issues or I am talking about physical health, ailments, traumas, emotional and any sort of other blockages we might have even on a spiritual level. Breathwork, you know, I love your show is Mind Body Business, breathwork also touches on all of these things for the body. It helps to detox, it helps to feed your brain, your digestion helps to boost immunity. It releases all sorts of feel-good hormones as well and endorphins. And it also releases physical pain in the body. So we have a lot of physical benefits that happen when we breathe. But emotionally, I think that's the most exciting part, is when I guide people through this process, a lot of stuff comes up and it's most people leave the session saying, wow, that was really unexpected. And I think that's I like to hear that because we go in maybe thinking one thing, we come out, wow. I didn't even know I had that much stuff that I was holding on to. So super exciting component. And then, you know, you don't have to be a spiritual person to understand that we're made up of energy. And that's what these chakras are, the seven main energy points in our body. And when they're aligned, when they're spinning, when they're open, not only does our physical body work, but our you know, our emotional world feels so much better and it definitely can help our business because, you know, we need to be not only connected spiritually, emotionally, but also grounded and motivated in our work. Right.
Brian:
Yeah, and I want to make a quick comment on all of this, because for those of you that aren't familiar with anything like this, I was one of those. And I was telling Jay this before we came on the show, that when I first heard of another science that did things that were that seemed too remarkable to be true, I was like, get away from me. I don't want to hear this stuff. And what I'm talking about is neuro-linguistic programming. It's a science and it's proven. And now I'm not only a proponent, I also am certified. And so when you were saying stuff like, wow, I didn't even expect that to happen. The same thing occurs in LP and these other types of modalities that Jay's talking about that bring out things in you that help you to get farther forward in your life, to shake, shake. I like to call it pulling the weeds out of the garden. Which are your mind pulling the weeds on the garden, which are your body? Jay mentioned that they're both intertwined because they are the mind and body are a team and more importantly, they're your team. And so if you have any member of that team that's not pulling their weight, it's a sports team within the team as a whole suffers. So you want to take care of everything. And so I just want to point that out that I am excited to learn of this. I've never heard breathing work the way you have described it to me offline. And so can we talk more about the energy points in the chakras? And then and then we can bring up those wonderful seven vials you have in front of you and talk about what those do.
Jay Bradley:
For sure.Yeah, yeah. I like to talk about chakras in a practical way because I'm actually pretty practical. You know, there's a part of me that, yeah. Loves the energy and the spiritual stuff, but I also love the practical. And so if we look at all seven of them, the root chakra sort of at the base of our spine and by the way, it's just chakras is a Hindu word that means discs. So we have energetic discs and when, when they're flowing, they're kind of turning in a clockwise direction energetically. When they get blocked or muffled, they can kind of get stagnant. So the idea is just to get them all balanced and flowing in the root chakra. It's really, really about grounding. It's about feeling safe and connected to the earth, but also about abundance and money and prosperity. So whenever there's blockages there, people can start to feel literally physical pain in their body, sometimes including lower back and hips and down the legs. So it's just an interesting awareness. And the sacral is right under the belly button. And that is really about healthy sexuality, healthy sensuality, and it's about creativity and passion. And it's kind of our life force, energy our chi and if we if we're not flowing in that area, we can kind of lack motivation and inspiration in our life. Then we go to the solar plexus, which is kind of right under the ribs here. And that's all about self-worth, self-esteem, self-confidence of personal power, really owning who you are in the world and then moving forward and acting on it. And the heart, of course, really just about unconditional love. It's about not only giving but receiving love and also forgiveness, compassion, empathy, being more gentle with ourselves, with others. And then the throat is about speaking your truth, doing what you do, which is really vocalizing and sharing your message with the world and also setting healthy boundaries in relationships. Some people can be really challenged with that and asking for what you need. And then the third eye right here, that is really a clarity about foresight. It's about sort of having a vision of where you're going in your life, which really comes into play in your business, like almost goal setting and having visions of where you want your business to go. And then the crown is at the top of the head and that really just connects you to whatever it is for you, whether it's got angels, universal energy, it doesn't really matter, just trusting that we have some energy guiding us bigger than, than ourselves.
Brian:
Fantastic, and you have something there in front of you that you've developed that I thought was genius because you apply in such a way that it actually lands on all of those seven areas. So, yeah, I'm going to bring you up full screen again so people can see what this is.
Jay Bradley:
And, yeah, I love the Chakra Bombs. You know, the other thing I love about breathing and deep breathing and how it helps your business is you will get ideas, you will get clarity, you'll get downloads, as I call them, similar to when you meditate and you'll get off the table after your session or off the floor wherever you are, and you will start to develop these ideas. This came to me in a breathwork session and they are just custom blended, essential oil shock or bombs. And we apply a little bit to all seven chakras before we breathe, before we meditate, before we do yoga and the custom blends really helped to accentuate, as I say, ignite your chakras. And they smell amazing. There's over 100 drops of essential oil and each one hand blended by by me. And I'm really proud of these. And they really make an impact. People are loving them.
Brian:
I think it's his genius that you added that to this whole thing, so now I mean now people that may not know where these energy centers are, know where they're at because they have balm in those areas. And. Yeah, and what those are made of consists of they're not inexpensive. Ladies and gentlemen, the ingredients. So super high quality. And, you know, that I think is just awesome because it focuses on those seven areas. It gives them that additional, maybe even subconscious focus. And then does it. Have you noticed a difference when that is applied versus not in their results?
Jay Bradley:
Yes, and I'm not just saying that because I. I really do. And I purposely tried. I'm going to do a session with I'm going to do a session without and it never fails. There's always something super impactful that happens when I use the bombs. And usually, it's spinning. It's a throbbing, it's a pulsating. There's an energy that I recognize really clearly and I hear that from a lot of people as well. Sometimes, you know, sometimes I put it over the heart and I'll just feel super emotional just by applying it. And is it a placebo? I don't think so. There's actually some well, you know, it's a combination of your intention behind it. But also, I'd like to think it's the custom blends of oils as well.
Brian:
Fantastic. Lots of love coming out of here. Lucy Grieve, thank you so much.
Jay Bradley:
Hi Lucy, I know Lucy.
Brian:
Nice. And you know this person, Amber Noel Bonham.
Jay Bradley:
She has the bombs. I love Amber. Hello.
Brian:
Yeah, I can't wait to experience these bombs. This is it's the bomb. The bombs are.
Jay Bradley:
I'm going to register that name to chakras with bombs.
Brian:
That's funny. I have a product called CARPET BOMB MARKETING. This is perfect. We could go into business together with this one. This I find this extremely fascinating. And so the way that you go about serving your clients, I know today it's all virtual, but you've also done it in person. I've seen I think it was videos, maybe even pictures as well, where people are just relaxed and laying down in that case on the floor. What I saw and in a group setting, I noticed you had some, I think, incense or something that you were walking around with. And I'm sure there was some wonderfully soothing music going on in the background, those voices dropping and go ahead.
Jay Bradley:
No, I'm just lighting some Paolo Santo, that's what I like to use and sage.
Brian:
Is that Incense or something else that just became legal in California.
Jay Bradley:
Paolo Santo is it's a wood actually. And it helps to not only clear away heavy energy but also bring in positive loving energy. So yeah, I use that a lot in my sessions. The smell is amazing. It's super earthy and woodsy. And of course, sage is always good.
Brian:
So where do you get that?
Jay Bradley:
You can get Pollo Santo in numerous places. There's stores on Etsy, that sell it, there's a lot of spiritual stores that I like Liberate, Liberate Emporium right here in Los Angeles. If you're here, they have a lot of great things. We're going to smoke myself out.
Brian:
It was like a rebrand opportunity to me, if you know what I'm saying.
Jay Bradley:
Yes, I would like to say it's on my website, but I don't have that yet.
Brian:
So that could be the Fuze to your bombs.
Jay Bradley:
Yes.
Brian:
I love it. So that's phenomenal. So then you also have people that you are now doing this remotely through, say, like Zoom and you're walking them through, talking them through. And so what does an experience like that for a client? Are they sitting in a chair in a bed either or both? How does that work?
Jay Bradley:
Yeah, I always recommend people do it lying down because, you know, when you do some deep breathing, you can get lightheaded in the beginning. And it's actually difficult to access the belly breath when you're seated. So you can lie on the bed, on your couch, on the carpet, on a yoga mat. It doesn't really matter. And then I guide people through the breathing to music. And the music is really important. It's, you know, similar to hypnosis and other healing sessions. The music has a lot to do with the healing experience, whether it's that if you want people motivated, you play motivational music, you want them to relax. Yeah. So I pride myself in kind of choosing some nice, nice combination of world and inspirational music and guide them through the process.
Brian:
Yeah, music helps put them in the state, the state that you want them then to get the most out of the session for them. Yes, just. Oh my goodness, I've got to give this a whirl because if you did some demonstration of the breathing, how it went. So it's not typical. It's not what I'm used to seeing where people say breathe through the nose and out through the mouth and then go through these long exhales. And I like good stuff and I honestly don't know how yours works, but I'd be curious if you would be willing to show us how this whole thing goes about happening.
Jay Bradley:
Absolutely. And I want to say that there are hundreds of styles of breathing and breath. Work has been around for thousands of years. But why I love this process so much is and, you know, I certainly do my own breathing through the nose at times as well and box breathing and all sorts of other styles. But this particular one, I use the mouth action. That's how I was taught and why I love breathing in the mouth. Is it just you bring in so much more oxygen. I mean, even if you try right now breathing in the nose and then you try your mouth, there's just a lot more freedom in that. And what I teach is a three-part circular breath. And so the first inhale is in the belly and the second inhale is in the chest and then out. And you can try it seated at home. If you're driving, just be careful watching the show. Belly, in the chest and out.
So why I love this so much is we access those lower chakras, the solar plexus, the sacral, the root chakra, and by breathing in the belly, we're accessing that lower part of your body. And then with the chest breath, we're accessing the heart, the throat and all the upper chakras. And so we're really getting our money's worth, so to speak, and really accessing and cracking open the entire body, sometimes belly breathing alone. I mean, it's great, but you're not really accessing the heart center. And that's why I love so much. Adding the chest breathing.
Brian:
Wow, that's phenomenal. I was sitting here attempting to do it on my own and already getting lightheaded, probably just because I didn't work and out of shape.
Jay Bradley:
It's normal to get lightheaded.
Brian:
Do you do the stomach and in the chest without exhales just with a little pause?
Jay Bradley:
Yeah. Or you can word it is like almost like a half inhale in the belly. OK, and then another half. So it's almost like one inhale in two spots. That makes sense.
Brian:
Yeah. And you do that for a period of time.
Jay Bradley:
I do. I like why I love this so much as the results happen really quickly. You know, I know there's other styles of breathing where you spend three hours lying down and breathing. Can you imagine, first of all, who has three hours? And second of all, that sounds intense. I generally do. Twenty four minutes, Twenty-six minutes of deep breathing, and then some guided healing work at the end. That's all you need.
Brian:
That's phenomenal. That's phenomenal. I can't wait to give this a whirl, like I said earlier, I don't ever say give it a try because there's no such thing as try.
Jay Bradley:
Well, here's what I love it. I say this and I say this confidently, that it permanently shifts you. So, you know, people who are struggling, people come to me often tried everything else. They are sometimes exhausted because, you know, they're like, I don't know what else to do. I feel like nothing's working. And that's kind of where I was at when breath work entered. And very, very quickly, it helps you to access the heaviness, to release and to get so that you can get busy, you know, building your business, living your life and having a little bit more joy or a lot more joy. That's our goal, right? When life feels like a chore, feels heavier, we're constantly struggling. That's exhausting.
Brian:
Constant resistance. Yep.
Jay Bradley:
Yeah. And I spend most of my life there, so I know exactly what that's like. And that's why this is such a godsend.
Brian:
And that's what I love about entrepreneurs like yourself. You know, they take a personal life experience and then do something good with it and actually change lives like, oh my gosh. Gerson, I don't know if I'm saying that right?
Jay Bradley:
Oh, yes, my good friend.
Brian:
He said "I was able to participate in Jay's classes and try the bombs, Jay's competitive advances that he speaks from experience." We were just saying that, "and let it shine his purpose. He is highly interactive, not only guiding, but he participates." I think that's what that meant.
Jay Bradley:
Yeah. Thank you, Gerson. That is awesome. Love you guys.
Brian:
There we go.
Jay Bradley:
Yeah, I know. You know, that is even when I'm sharing a private or group setting, I always literally close my eyes and tap into that energy and come from a personal place as well as tuning into who's with me, because that's the only place we can come from. Any business is like we all know what you know. And you can't pretend you can't you know, you can only guess. So I know struggle pretty well. So that's why I love what I do.
Fantastic. Hey, I want to mention real quick that everyone that's on watching. Thank you for sticking around. You've all hung on this entire time. I appreciate that. And so does Jay. When you stand at the very end, you'll have an opportunity to win. That's right. Five-night vacation stay at a five-star luxury resort, compliments of our pals. You see them up there in the upper right. If you're watching on video, thebiginsidersecrets.com. The Big Insider Secrets my buddy Jason Nast and his crew have sponsored this. They provide this for our show every single week. We give one of these away. And yes, even with all the shutdowns and everything that's going on, you will be able to move about the country. I fully believe that sometime, hopefully, this year. Until then, hey, I've got a flight booked to go to St. Louis this weekend, so everything's still good. I'm moving and shaking. So definitely stick on to the end and we'll show you exactly how you can win. Super, super simple. It's super fast. It's actually kind of fun, too. So you don't want to miss that. I want to make sure I get my buddy in there, my buddy Jason Nast. And we have more people talking. Oh, speak of the guy. You know, you say the name out loud and he appears it's Mr. Travis at Travis is another amazing. I mean, the two of you together. Oh, my gosh. That would be something else. Travis, look him up. He's been on THE MIND BODY BUSINESS SHOW as well. Travis Taylor, amazing gentleman. He literally scanned my body in a good way from a car. And he's amazingly talented individual. And I highly recommend you look him up. Just go to the mindbodybuisnessshow.com, past shows, and scroll down until you find Travis Taylor and see what that crazy in a good way, young man is all about.
Jay Bradley:
Yeah, we're all a little crazy.
Brian:
And you know what, honestly, we have to be to do what we do, don't we?
Jay Bradley:
You definitely have to be a little crazy.
Brian:
Yeah. And you know, we are because we're cut from a different cloth. There are very few entrepreneurs percentage-wise across the globe compared to people who work for other people. And, you know, there's a reason why there are so few because we're risk-takers. We're willing to do things that many will never even think of doing. It doesn't mean we're better. I'm not saying that. Please don't read that into it. We're different. Just different. In fact, people can say we're not as good because there's so few of us, who knows. I personally I love entrepreneurs. I mean, like Jay, he came on, like I said, thirty minutes. And I felt like I knew this guy for a long time. Any time I go to a networking event, seminar, boot camp back when we could and I was just on an online summit. There's a great example. I just felt this synergy with everybody in the room physically or in a virtual Zoom room. Do you find that to be the case, Jay, when you're out and about with the entrepreneurial world?
Jay Bradley:
Yeah, I think when you're with like-minded people, there's definitely a synergy, right? Because you all understand what it takes. And there's yeah, there's a similar, similar energy, similar struggle sometimes.
Brian:
And we're getting some more love. You to see some more love.
Jay Bradley:
Oh, Angela.
Brian:
Thunder Bay, Angela Fimognari. Does anybody have a name I can pronounce? Oh sounds Italian. She says, Hi Jay from Thunder Bay, with a heart. Just want to say I enjoyed his breathing session when he was here and so did quite a bit of my friends, loved the bombs and sensed you to come back soon. I love that! When Covid is done.
Jay Bradley:
I cannot wait to come back. Thunder Bay is my hometown in Canada.
Brian:
I love it and Travis is back synchronicities. He said I literally just heard to check-in. Yes, that's right. And. So excited that you have, Jay on. Yes, me too. His breath workshops and chakra bombs. So we're definitely going to give you all the methods to get in touch with Jay to get a breath session. Is that what you call it? A breath on session? Yes. And also how to get access to his amazing handmade chakra bombs. I mean, this guy invented this whole thing. I mean, bombs have not he did not invent bombs by themselves. But these are handmade, handcrafted with a certain amount of essential oils and other ingredients that I don't think anyone else uses. And it's genius because it also helps accentuate the chakras, the areas, the energy called them, that are energy to get them spinning and more intense to give you the better results that you want and that you deserve. Yes. Yes. Fantastic. Man, I should, I should be a marketer for you. I think this is pretty fun.
Jay Bradley:
You're hired. I'm telling you, better than anything I could have ever said.
Brian:
Oh, my goodness, I'm having a blast.
Jay Bradley:
We need a Chakra Bomb jingle.
Brian:
So you've been doing this for a while now. You've obviously had success. We have your clients coming in and commenting and saying how much they love everything about you, and that's because you're authentic and that what you do gives them results. Do you think now being where you are in your life, you've had the experience to know? Do you think there is some kind of pattern or formula to becoming a successful entrepreneur?
Jay Bradley:
Hmm, yes, I think there is and I want to say there's a number of things, I think that what comes to mind first is honestly discipline, consistency. But that being said, I think I'm switching. I'm switching used to be a rule like do it now, you know, take action, person. But I'm learning inspired action can take you so much further than just being busy, just doing all the time. And so I think being a successful entrepreneur means tapping in, you know, tapping into inspired action and intuition and all of these things. We've been talking about your emotional and spiritual health as well. So you can actually take action that resonates with people. Is authentic. So but it does, it's a bit of a rollercoaster. Not going to lie, right. You know, every day is a new day and it's like, OK, how can I get my message out? How can I help people? And there's always you're always on your feet thinking about ways. And it's a fine line between promoting yourself. Right. And selling and then just genuinely sharing your message. So but I would say most definitely, you know, the other thing I'm noticing, especially with a lot of healers and people in my business, it takes a lot of self-love and confidence because when you're an entrepreneur, you're selling yourself essentially whether you have a product or whatever it is, you have to get up each day and basically promote yourself. And there's a lot of resistance sometimes and a lot of lack and questioning your belief and your worth. And I think we really need to move through that and look at that in order to be successful. And that's been a lot of my journey and then moved through a lot of it. There's still some not going to lie. And, you know, it's a process.
Brian:
I think there always will be some. But that you hit the nail on the head there with the confidence factor. I remember when I was struggling and didn't have the confidence that I do now. And, wow, you just made me think about that time. And it's I'm actually looking back with joy because of how far I've come from that day. And it takes time. It takes effort like concerted effort. Go find a coach, a mentor. Maybe Jay would offer to coach you. And because, you know, it's a life experience that is so valuable, you know, to have people like Jay or even myself who've gone through a lot of the ups and downs, the trials, the hardships, and the successes, we can also help, as Jay said, give you that shortcut to help you get to the prize faster without going through all the trial and error. That's some of it's unnecessary. Some of it, I think is valuable personally. I mean, have I not gone through all of those, I wouldn't realize I remember what it took to get where I'm at and give me the confidence as a result, right?
Jay Bradley:
Definitely. You don't want to take that away. I mean, you know, talk about the law of attraction. You got to feel the contrast in order to enjoy the up and you're going to feel the experience, the down. But if we could shorten that a little bit, not spend 30, 40 years there, but maybe, you know, maybe four years. Five years.
Brian:
Exactly.We would say take ten and drop it to three or four, maybe five or eight.
Jay Bradley:
We're doing. Oh, there we go. Thank you, Pat. Love you.
Brian:
Ok, I need help with the last name. Thank you, Pat. The bombs are the bomb. I send them to people when they're upskittled, I like that.
Jay Bradley:
I love that. I use these great words. Yes.
Brian:
And Mr. Price is checking in. John Price says, Jay is an incredible coach and facilitator. His sessions help you dig within and uncover the healing that is waiting for you, I mean, folks, you can make this up. This is a live show. Nobody was paid to appear and make these statements to come on this. These are signs that Jay knows what he's doing and that he gets results for his people, his clients. And I don't even know if he calls them clients, probably calls them his friends because he's in it to help you to be your best you. And when you get to clear everything out using his processes, just think of how quicker you can get to that point of maximum confidence when the resistance is gone, when all those little devils that pop up on your shoulder telling you how you can't get something done and you get cleared out by going through a Jay Bradley breathing session and now you can just forge ahead without anything in your way. Would that be what would that be? You can't put a money figure on that. In my personal opinion.
Jay Bradley:
You're right, you can't, because sometimes these are the biggest, you know, like you said, little that the demons that sits on our shoulder, whatever you want to call it, things that we struggle with for years and years and years, sometimes all the way from childhood. And, you know, we all have at least one or two of those things. And, boy, yeah, to get rid of that after years and years and years and there's no price. You're right. And I also like to say to people like sometimes instead of pushing it away. Right. What I love to do with people is have them look at that darkness and those blocks and learn to love it and learn to embrace it and actually stop pushing and instead listen to what it has to tell us. And, you know, it may always be there, right? That little voice may not permanently go away, but the more we learn how to deal with it, the more powerful we can become. So.
Brian:
And I just want to make it clear to everyone here that this show isn't here to pitch anyone or anything. I have gone through similar things using the science of NLP neurolinguistic programming, and I know that it works, having gone through it, now certified in it. And when Jay talks and then you see all of his friends, his clients coming on and basically saying, yeah, what he does works and what it does is gives you such I call it liberation. It just liberates you from all the baggage and junk and crap in your life and enables you to just go forward without any inhibitions, anything holding you back. And because you do such magnificent work and you've had so many results. That is why, ladies and gentlemen, I'm like preaching about them from the rooftop here, because I know the kind of impact that things like Jay does can have on people and do have. And I implore upon you. If you're struggling in any part of your life, if you're being held up, if you feel that there are things holding you back, reach out to him. Jay Bradley, in fact, we've got his website. Been on there a couple of times. Breatheonit.net. That'll be one way for you to get in touch with him. We'll give you others here in just a moment when we near the end of the show.
Jay Bradley:
I'm glad you said that, though. Sorry, because that's really the key is, you know, if you're blocked, if you have any resistance, if you're struggling, just keep looking and keep searching. That's what I did my whole life. Eventually that the right things are going to come to you to help you move through those. And, you know, sometimes we try a bunch of things and things work for a while, but and it's different for everybody. But, yeah, just keep searching. Keep saying yes. And I think that's the right experience to always be curious and know that you can have more and that you deserve more, especially if you're struggling. I know what it's like to accept and think, Oh god, this is my life. Like I'm going to have these struggles forever. But, you know, I think I've moved through a lot of those. And so I know other people can.
Brian:
Do you just drop two golden nuggets right there? They were subtle, yet so profound. He said, just say yes, I cannot tell you. And, you know, there's a movie by that's kind of comical, but it's very it's cool. It actually works to a degree. Don't go crazy like in the movie. And what's his name? Jim.
Jay Bradley:
was it Jim Carry, no?
Brian:
Yes, Jim Carrey. Yes, man. But the thing is, is after going through my training within L.P and learning to say yes more often to things. The only reason I say no is because my subconscious or my conscious was saying, here are all the reasons you shouldn't. But the subconscious was actually saying, well, you know, you should and you feel it, but you're going to let your conscience overrule. Once I started switching that and saying yes and getting uncomfortable spending 10 grand on a course that I didn't have ten grand for. I've done that more than once and each time massive progress has occurred. So that was one nugget. So be discerning, you know, do your homework and then just say yes. And then you said the other thing, be curious. The most successful people on the planet are those are the most curious. And real quick, a quick story. My mentor, his name is Mel Cutler. He met Richard Branson in person back when Mel was much younger. He's not that old, but he was much younger than today. And they were standing out in the hallway at some kind of event. And Richard walked up to him and just started peppering him with questions and Mel's like he said this from stage. Know, my mentor was a seminar speaker and he would tell a story and said. What you know is Richard Branson, I want to ask you questions, why are you asking me this question? He didn't say that I thought he was thinking, but that is one of the greatest traits of one of the most successful entrepreneurs on the planet. And everyone that you'll meet in your walk with entrepreneurs is they are definitely deeply curious about so many things. And it's a great trait. So say yes and be curious if you want success after having a visit and getting some breastwork done for Mr. Jay Bradley. That is so important. Get it done quick. Get it done now. Mind and body, mind, and body. That's what he works and that's what will clear you so you can crush it in business. My personal opinion right there. Sweet, let's see, we've got more people coming on, I love this. All right, I actually say something. I can see your name because we've done it once. Pat Honiotes. The best about Jay is his non-judgment. Yeah, I can see that. I know, this guy can handle anything that comes up no matter how gross or shameful it makes you. Wow. Thank you for your transparency, Pat. That's phenomenal.
Jay Bradley:
Yeah. Thank you for that. You know, I've kind of seen it all. Nothing surprises me and I've been through a lot of it anyway. And, you know, the more open and vulnerable we can be, the more we're going to move through that stuff.
Brian:
Well, to me, from an outside observer looking in, what this exhibits is incredible. Massive trust in you. Thank you. And that's a huge. So people like what you're doing. Yeah. Some people would consider it very personal and the only way you could be affected if they trust you. And you've obviously set and laid that groundwork for people to understand that you're there to help them, they understand it, they get it. And because of that and the way you are, because you are you come from the heart, they're willing to lay down right in front of you and have you walk them through a process that changes their life forever. And it's a beautiful thing. So you've obviously earned the trust and I say earned because trust is not given by anybody. And so kudos to you, my man. Not that I'm surprised. And that's phenomenal.
Jay Bradley:
I mean, it's a big job. And, you know, I appreciate the people who do you trust me through the process because it's not fun. It's not always fun. Right. Most people it's so much easier to avoid this stuff and to stay busy. But people come to me already. They know they deserve more. And, you know, they're ready to go through whatever messiness needs to show up so they can move through. We can't go around this stuff anymore and face it. We've got to look at it. We've got to move through it.
Brian:
So, you know, we're all human, right, when it gets down to it. So I still to this day have certain things that I would rather avoid. I fear some things in my life. But I was curious if there was something looming that you have that you're willing to share. What is your greatest fear right now, whether it's business or personal, and how do you manage it and get past it?
Jay Bradley:
That's a great question. How is how you think my biggest fear is like dying before you know that term with my music still in me, but, you know, just kind of not feeling used up, you know, and. Right. Like I'm here for a reason. I know that in some you know, there's been times in my life where I didn't understand or know what that was. And that's a horrible place to be right now. I feel like I am very clear, but there's so much more. And I think and also, you know, I have really I'm super motivated and inspired by money and success as well. Know. And so there's a lot of goals there. And I think dying before I actually accomplish those is a fear.
Brian:
That can drive you right. I mean, we're both you and I are both past the half-century mark. So, yes, we have we don't have as much time as many. And that kind of that spurs me as well. But I know it's perfect when you said not feeling used up. Oh, oh, I couldn't say we weren't how we want to feel. At the end of the day, I want to be completely exhausted. Done. Nothing left in the tank. OK, I'm ready, Lord take me now, but not before.
Jay Bradley:
I got to say some of my worst days or those days where I don't feel used up, you know, or I'm not in the flow, I'm not inspired or I kind of wasted a day. Not that there's anything wrong with that because God, we should rest and just relax. But, you know, I think we all want to feel some sort of purpose and mission.
Brian:
Yes. Yeah, I totally agree. Not saying that. Yes, you're right. I just agree. And I think you're right.
Jay Bradley:
Yes, mam. Yes, mam. Go.
Brian:
Oh, my God. I just look at the clock. We have five minutes. Oh, I want to know. So based on that, we do have a few things left to cover here in this short five minutes. If we go over a little bit, we'll go over a little bit. But I want to respect everyone's time. I appreciate everyone who's been watching. And those of you listening to the recording on podcasts will be watching the video recording. Appreciate you to reach out. Loved to hear from you as well. What did you get from Jay Bradley during this episode? It's been amazing what I like to do, Jay, and we're going to get to have people contact you. First is there's a question I'd like to ask of every entrepreneur that comes on the show to end the show close to ending the show and it's very profound, I found because I've asked a hundred and thirty or so. It's amazing. And it's sometimes powerful. It's sometimes personal. It's it's just. It's a mind-blower in a great way and a great way before we get into that, I promised everyone something about midshow, do you remember that? I promised you that if you stuck with us to the end and we're all the way there, but you've made it far enough that we'll reveal a way for you to win a five-night stay at a five-star luxury resort. Compliments again of the biginsidersecrets.com. So now, remember in the beginning I said, keep your attention here on the show.
Get out a notepad. Well, now both Jay and I will give you permission if Jay agrees to bring out your smartphone and bring out your text messaging app. Do that right now, because that's how you enter. And I'll put it up on the screen and let you know how to do that right now. So bring up your text messaging app and where you would actually put in the name of the person you're going to text. Instead, put in this phone number, put in three one four-six-six-five-one-seven-six-seven. And then when you would actually go to type that message, you know, that spot where some use emojis and all that fun stuff. Well, here you just use plain old good text. And here is where you type in two words, separated by a hyphen. The two words are peak,that's p-e-a-k, dash if you prefer dash vacation. So peak dash vacation. That number, again is three-one-four-six-six-five-one-seven-six-seven. Do that now and just watch your text messaging app because you will get some other responses to that and you'll be asked to fill in your email address. I think it's just one more step, if I recall correctly, and you will be officially entered to win and we pick a winner every single week. I cannot wait to see who wins. I hope it's you. And you don't even know. I can't wait to hear love it. And it's so funny when I'm doing that so I can see you in the back and I can see the guest experts many times. The guest on the show is got their phone up.
Jay Bradley:
I wasn't going to steal that opportunity from people watching.
Brian:
I see nothing wrong with it whatsoever. And some past guest experts have literally won. I mean, you came on and brought all this value. I have personally, no problem with it at all. You deserve it. You earned it. In fact, maybe I'll just give you one, because that would be good. I'll take it. I can talk to my sponsor and get his approval. No problem for that. And the other one was, I think you had a gift for people. I wanted to bring that up real quick. And it was a link if I recall. There it is. If you would quickly be so kind to explain what that is all about for the fine folks.
Jay Bradley:
Definitely. Well, I have a custom recorded and guided breathwork session, so it's something you can do over and over and over at home. And it's absolutely free. Comes as a download for you.
Brian:
But I'm punching in one-handed. We're going to get there when I see it, and then I misspelled it. We'll get there. Stay with us. So subscribe, subscribe. Yeah, one hand is just not, it's killing me, I'm going to do it. It's going to happen, you know, once I get my mind put on something that's going to happen, so. Breatheonit.net OK, Brian is not with it today. Stay with us, because we still have that incredibly powerful question coming up right after you write down the URL that you see on the screen and go to it. And what you will see is something like. I'll find it. There it is. I'm out of practice, brother. They're perfect. Go to that page. I am definitely going to subscribe myself and get that to find out more about what you do, how you do it. And so its breatheonit.net is where you go. And in there in the home section, I'm going to guess is where you can find the bombs, where they find the bombs?
Jay Bradley:
The bombs will be in the shop.
Brian:
Store. Got it. Store that or store. I should know. I'm like, yeah, that right there.Sweet seven chakras breastworks series and.
Jay Bradley:
Well actually that is the guided breastwork. I'm sorry. Draw shockers. That's OK. It should be. They should be in there somewhere. There we go. There they are.
Brian:
chakra bombs. So definitely look at that. Each bomb contains over one hundred drops of custom essential oil blends. I know personally essential oils are not cheap. I have a mister that's running all the time in my office and it does take some serious commitment on a financial front to keep that rolling and going. So definitely come in here shop. But first, subscribe and get connected with Jay. How else can people connect with you?
Jay Bradley:
Well, you know, use Instagram a lot and of course Facebook and its breathe on it with Jay.
Brian:
Breathe on it with Jay, so Breathe has an E at the end. I personally get that wrong breath on green it with Jay to find them on Instagram and definitely please connect with them. And you know what? Maybe it's not the right time for you, but you will never know unless you reach out and say, Jay, tell me more. If you have questions, ask him. Be curious, like successful entrepreneurs. And then the second step, this is just too good. I can't make this up and say yes. I say yes. You just heard that that is the way to become a successful entrepreneur to great patterns to develop for yourself in your life. All right. Well, I know we've we've kind of dangled this carried out there for quite some time. Are you ready for this big question?
Jay Bradley:
I'm kind of nervous. You got me nervous.
Brian:
So here's the thing about this question, Jay. There is no such thing as a wrong answer, it is impossible. In fact, the exact opposite is true, the only correct answer is yours. That's the personal part of it. That's it. We're not getting deep into the personal. It's just it's going to be yours and yours uniquely to you. That makes sense. Yes. Some guests have the answer immediately. Others take some time to ponder. Either way is just fine because it's your answer. It's the right. So take everlong and eat some good. Yes, you can take that deep breath that you know how to do so well and yeah, let it on out. And here we go. I'm going to set this bad boy up for massive success. Jay Bradley. How do you define success?
Jay Bradley:
How do I define success? I define success. Similarly to the way, I define my fear, and that would be at the end of your day, knowing that you did everything you could. To not only help people but also to find your bliss. So I think I would define success as. Being used up, living your life fully and completely and finding as much joy along the way as possible, I know that's a long answer, but.
Brian:
It was only the correct answer that was phenomenal, so phenomenal. Thank you so very, very much, Jay Bradley. You are just a breath of fresh air. Wow. I mean, that and that's pretty much how you no pun intended, literally. I just like everyone.

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.
Brian Kelly:
And there they all are. These amazing, beautiful guests on The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. How are you all doing? Altogether, too. That was phenomenal, I love that. So real quick.

We also have this. If you're struggling with putting on a live show, and it's overwhelming and you want a lot of the processes done for you while still enabling you to put on a high-quality show.

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