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, two steps back work getting.
Turning and drip. How do we finally break through, and that is the question. And this podcast will give you the answers. My name is Brian Kelly. This is the mind body.
Speaker2:
Hello, everyone, and welcome, welcome,
Speaker1:
Welcome
Speaker2:
To the Mind Body Business Show, we have a very, very special guest coming on tonight. I cannot wait for you to meet this amazing, amazing young woman who is just really taking life by storm. And she understands at a very young age what it takes to be successful. And I can't wait to share her brilliance with you because she has gone through things, experience things, has gone through setbacks, and has overcome and learned a lot at a very young age that will help her and hopefully help you, because the story she is about to tell will help shed some light on what all of us as entrepreneurs go through in our struggles. And even better than that, what can be done to overcome those obstacles that come in front of us and get in our way. So this is the mind body business show is a show for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs. And I only bring on successful entrepreneurs. And I interview folks from all over the world. And tonight we have a young lady from Arkansas. I can't wait to bring her on the mind. Body business she'll mind is all about mind set. And that's what happened, is over the course of ten plus years, I began studying just successful people and I wanted to find out what it was about them that made them more successful than, say, me.
Speaker2:
And over and over time and time again, three things kept floating to the top to a person. Each and every one of them had mastered their own mindset. And by that I mean, you know, a very strong, positive and most importantly, flexible mindset. And there are many ways to develop that. It is a learned process. It's not something you're typically born with, and it is something that each and every one of us can achieve and body that's literally about taking care of one's own body. Each and every individual that I found that was of great success also took care of their body, both in physical exercise and in the nutrition. And that's the actual food and drink that they ingested. And then business. It's a wonderful area because it is so multifaceted. And the thing is, is the people that I followed and studied that were so successful had mastered the skill sets that are necessary to start, run and grow a successful business. And there are many of these there are skill sets like marketing, sales, team building, systematizing leadership. And the list goes on and on and on. The good news. So look to m. just one of anything takes an exorbitant amount of time. And the good news is, is no person that includes you needs to master every single skill set in the business genre that is necessary to build and maintain a thriving business.
Speaker2:
You really only need one. And when you've mastered just one skill set, then the rest will fall into place. And I already mentioned in that list that I just brought up the few that I mentioned, and it is that one skill set called leadership, because once you've mastered that skill set, then you now have the ability to delegate the tasks to others that are in those areas that you have yet to have mastered. And it could just be that you've mastered them. But your time is better served doing things from a higher level, from creating and moving the business rather than working in it. You're now working on it. And so mind body business knows all about you entrepreneurs. And another wonderful thing that I noticed in all of these studying. I've done interviews, I've spoken from stage. I've met incredible speakers and authors. I've read books from authors that have not they're no longer with us. I've studied many. But one of the cool things in addition to all that was to a person. Each and every one of these successful people were very voracious readers of books. And with that, I like to segway into a very brief segment. I like to affectionately call bookmarks.
Speaker1:
Bookmarks for and to read bookmarks, ready, steady, read bookmarks brought to you by reach your peak library dot com.
Speaker2:
Real quick before I jump into this and bring on Jesse Terry, who is waiting in the wings as we go through this show, you are going to learn about different resources, websites, things of that nature. And I just implore upon you that rather than succumb to that, it's to click away and go look at these things while the show's running is to instead take them down as notes, write them down like this one, reach your peak library dot com, just write it down. Don't worry about visiting it until after the show is over. And why say that and bring that up is because the magic happens in the room. And even if it's a virtual room, by that I mean, I would hate for you to take your gaze away and your concentration away from something Jesse is about to say that could potentially change your life forever because you are off looking at other resources. Please just stay with us and take notes. I'm running this entire show and I myself take notes throughout it. I've already got some from our preshow chat, but reach your peak library. What is that? That is a website I literally had put together with you and mine entrepreneurs and business professionals who are looking to take their game up to the next level.
Speaker2:
And what I did was I started compiling a list of only the books that I had read that had a profound impact on me, either in business or in personal life or even in both. And you'll see them all here. And look, this is not what I would call a money making website. That wasn't the reason this was put together. In fact, all those buttons that you see there where it says buy here goes goes straight to Amazon. And so it's here really literally as my gift to you as a one stop shop. If you have read the odds are you haven't read every single one of these and you find one in there that you haven't read, just grab it and then read it. And what I found later in my life by the age of around forty seven, is when I finally started reading books on a regular basis, I realized, my gosh, these have amazing impact on me personally and professionally. And so I began reading myself and love every second of it. But with that, every second that goes by, we're not talking to our wonderful guest experts. So I want to bring her on right now. So here we
Speaker1:
Go. It's time for the guest expert spotlight. Savvy, skillful, professional, adept, trained, big league qualified. And there she is, ladies and gentlemen, yes, it is Jesse Terry. Welcome to the
Speaker2:

So before we jump in and really peel back the curtain of that beautiful brain of yours, Jesse, to find out how you've become so successful at what you do at such a young age, I want to take care of a little bit of housekeeping that would be sponsors and all that you can see right above Jesse's left shoulder to the right if you're looking at the screen.

All right, finally at less and then it is time to give her the introduction. She deserves a professional introduction. You ready for this, Jesse? I'm ready. She's ready. Jesse Terry is just twenty two years old, but has made quite an impact. Jesse has traveled and done missions work in Cameroon, Africa, Antwerp, Belgium, Guatemala and Costa Rica. Jessie is passionate about working with children. Jessie is a women's self-defense instructor and has traveled internationally teaching women that you catch the part that she's only twenty two. This is very impressive. She has four children's books currently published. It just keeps going. She is walking for three designers at New York Fashion Week in September as a fashion model on their runways. Amazing. Her book, Ebenezer's Journal inspires children to maximize their potential and use their imagination. Her biggest dream in the world is to have an international playground company that builds and installs playgrounds for kids in Third World countries who have lost their sense of childhood due to issues beyond their control. She's determined to change the world one life at a time.
Speaker1:
Oh, I love all of that. Oh, yes. Just see.
Speaker2:
And speaking of our sponsor, he has just changed his mind. Body business show rocks. Thank you, Jason Ness. And he said your
Speaker1:
Sponsors are OK. Of course they do love it. I love it.
Speaker2:
Yes. He says I've stated three of them. They are great places to stay. Yes. They are not timeshare. Thank you, Jason, for coming on. So just see now what I like to do is open the show talking about what's going on in and entrepreneur's mind that makes them so successful, because it's my belief that our minds and our mindset is the foundation and reason for either our success or lack thereof. Wherever anyone is at today is one hundred percent attribute is attributable. I can set about between what's going on between those two ears in one's head. And so for you, I mean, you've been through some interesting times already. We were talking right before the show knowing that things don't always run smoothly. Things are planned and they don't always go the way their plan and seeing that you've accomplished so much tells me you have quite a drive. So what is it that motivates you personally when you get up and and and maybe during the day you hit those speed bumps, those setbacks? What is going on in your mind that just keeps you going no matter what? I am never going to quit. What is it for you?
Speaker3:
Well, the cool thing is I work as a nanny, so I'm around kids all the time. So I see their faces and I look at them every day and I'm like, this is what gets me up in the morning. This is cool. I'm able to take care of. And if I'm slacking, then what example am I am to them?
Speaker2:
Wow. Yeah. And so the kids motivate you, the very thing that you love isn't that isn't that great? That's awesome. I mean, it's it's such a blessing to be so immersed in something doing something that is right in alignment with your passion as you're building your empire. That's pretty awesome. Now, you talked about we were talking about offline, how you've you've traveled, and that was in your bio that we read earlier. But there was one bit of information I got secretly from your dad. It wasn't secret. It was a post.
Speaker1:
There it is.
Speaker2:
No, it was that one where I learned that you had traveled to Africa at the ripe old age of 19. And I thought, my gosh, what would that be like for a young female 19 to travel to a country they'd never been to? So I just want to ask you, how did that whole experience go and maybe let people in on a couple of things that did occur during that trip? That was pretty phenomenal.
Speaker3:
Now, I think about I actually was 18 because I had been in Guatemala for two and a half months. I had just graduated high school. So right out of high school, I went to Guatemala and that was my senior trip was to go serve in Guatemala. So in September, I was offered an opportunity to go to Cameroon, Africa, because my dad has a friend there and I interacted with her as a little boy who has autism and he actually spoke when I spent time with him. So the mom said, you have to come. So I thought, OK, I'll get everything ready. Little did I know you have to have a visa to get into the country. And somehow I had managed to make it all the way through airport security at Belgium, only to find out I didn't have a visa and I was a little sad. I know I was going to get stuck there for five days. And the lady and her little boy, we're going to go to Africa without me. So I ended up staying with one of her relatives that lived in the diamond capital of the world. And I was there for five days. We got denied a visa twice and then I got to go to Africa.
Speaker2:
Goodness, and then you're sharing with me that you had like a boatload of money in your wallet.
Speaker1:
Oh, yes.
Speaker3:
I didn't have a I didn't get a credit card or a debit card. So I was 19 when I got back. So I had one hundred dollars cash and a hundred dollar a little gift card that only worked in the USA. So somehow I managed to go with one hundred of my own and one hundred of my dad's money. And so the one hundred dollars visa and then the other hundred I had to managed to use the rest of my trip.
Speaker2:
My goodness. So did they have ramen there.
Speaker3:
They had fish that still looked at you and that was the first time I'd ever eaten fish and the last time I was incredibly grateful they cooked for me. But I will never eat fish again.
Speaker1:
Oh no. To anyone who gets involved with Jesse in any way, shape or form, do not order fish.
Speaker3:
That's a cool thing about traveling another country if you have to be grateful because they give you what they have and the little bit they have means so much. So I might not enjoy it. The fish that looks at me, but to them that's such a delicacy. So I ate the fish and took sixty four ounces of water so fast with a big smile on my face.
Speaker1:
Oh, God bless you. I mean, so few people
Speaker2:
Think the way you just described where you took gratitude over the experience, you know, obviously it was grossing you out probably with your food, looking at you as you're pouring into it and then drinking all of
Speaker1:
That water. Oh, what a great story.
Speaker2:
Because, I mean, so many others would just look at it at face value and say, what's in it for me and go, this is terrible. Why would you give me something staring at me? You took the what I believe to be the right track and say, I appreciate this. I'm grateful. Thank you. Even though I'm holding my breath each bite.
Speaker3:
It was amazing, though. I got to work with special needs kids until my gallbladder fails and I had to come back to America. But I saw a nonverbal voice speak and a little boy who couldn't walk stood up when I was playing with them. So was totally God. But besides getting sick and everything that happened, I wouldn't change a thing. It was the most amazing experience.
Speaker2:
Tell me more about the nonverbal voice. Let's go deeper into that.
Speaker3:
So I was working in so when I was supposed to be there for the five days I was stuck in Belgium, we were starting the first ever special needs school in Cameroon, Africa. So I missed all the training. So when I got there, I ended up working with the preschool kids and there was a little boy and I just fell in love with him. I would have taken him home if I could. His name was Gabriel and he was born with the disease that left him unable to walk. So whatever I play with him, I'd have to help him and the other people there would massage his legs. And one day I was playing with them and he said, Mom. And he stood up and I was like, oh, my gosh, I love you. And then the other little boy, he had gotten sick and I was giving him a bath and I was singing to him and he actually spoke and he talked to me and he was singing along to the song. So it was pretty cool.
Speaker2:
Oh, my gosh, that is cool. As somebody you might know your Terry, that is one beautiful guess.
Speaker3:
That's my mom.
Speaker2:
It's a family, so I love it. Fantastic. Wow, that's pretty amazing. And you've had a lot of experience with such a young age. I mean, for books. Yeah. I'll be the first to admit I've got one book that's 90 percent done. It has been that way for over two years now and I still have yet to publish my first book. And you have four at the age of twenty two. And you were telling me earlier that you've sold them all, all the books that you've written are gone. You don't have any more physical books to offer. And look, I don't care if that's ten twenty fifty two hundred five thousand. There are so many entrepreneurs out the written their books that have ordered a garage for literally boxes full of their own books that are still there, that they have not yet been able to sell them. They'll be lucky to sell one most of the time they're just giving them away through. You know, if you do a speaking event, a great thing to do is bring your book with you and then you could do a signing at the end if the promoter will allow it, things like that. But most struggle to just sell their own books. So I'm curious just if you're willing to share one or two techniques or strategies you used to actually sell your books to people, that you ended up getting them in their hands.
Speaker3:
So the thing with me was before I even wrote the book, I started telling people about it. The little character you see behind me is the very first character I ever made. I'd watch my nieces and they were constantly on their phones all the time. And I thought, you know what? These kids are so young and they're not using their imagination. So I created Ebeneezer and he goes to school where you're not allowed to use your imagination. So all the book is about. Inspiring potential and bringing creativity back into the kids. So that was my inspiration behind the book. So I started telling everybody, hey, this book is going to change lives and it's going to really inspire these children. So you need to you need to get it because it'll make you happy and will make me really happy. So when I took the books to my dad and I run the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame, I'm the emcee for the event. So I brought the books while we were selling clothing and I sold all the books in the first day. So it's getting the word out about what you're doing and telling people before you just say, hey, look what I'm doing. You should buy it because people aren't expecting that. You have to have a bit of expectation and build anticipation for sure.
Speaker2:
Love it, love it, and it's just the fact that you're able to do this, you know, and it's like it's
Speaker1:
Nothing a big deal. I sold all my books. It's like there's other entrepeneurs. God, I would die to get to be able to sell 10 of my books. What did you do?
Speaker2:
It fantastic. And then I heard that you have a best seller in the works. We were talking about that.
Speaker3:
Right, because now, you know, I'm working on it. One of the characters in my book is named There's Different and there are twin monster sisters. And she may or may not have a cookbook coming out with some of the best recipes I have. I don't share with anybody who
Speaker2:
May or may not.
Speaker1:
Ok, she's being aloof here.
Speaker2:
I love it. So what what got you originally interested in helping kids? When did you realize this is what I want to do?
Speaker3:
When I was little, when I was six years old. Now, even before that, my mom said everywhere I went, I had a baby doll in my hand and I was playing with kids even younger than me. So it was something that God put into my heart was one day you're going to I started having dreams as a little girl of these big rooms, and I started to realize these are playground designs. I started drawing them out. So all the ideas from my playground company I have written down. So just as a child, I knew I was going to work with kids.
Speaker2:
Oh, that is phenomenal. It's interesting because it's I was similar, I love it. I've always loved kids, always loved being around them, seeing their little curiosity there. They're just amazing young people. And even when I was younger, like your age, I found myself enjoying being with kids and helping them. And it takes a different person. I know that takes a lot of patience. It takes a boatload of energy because, you know, to keep up with these kids. Oh, my gosh. So God bless you for that. And you're currently in addition to being you're a nanny, right? For four kids.
Speaker3:
I just happen to have my nieces and my nephews. I usually have my nieces every day after school, but I'm working on either babysitting one to four kids every day. And we just go to the amusement park and I wear them out on roller coasters and we all scream and cry. And then I go home and sleep and their parents thank me.
Speaker1:
I love it
Speaker2:
Where I'm out and the parents are just
Speaker1:
Excited as heck. They get to have some downtime. I'm tired. I can
Speaker2:
Imagine. Oh my goodness. Let's see for tonight. So, yeah, you have we're going to talk about it later on in the show, but you have a gift to give away for and this would be great for parents to grab a hold of who or grandparents who have access to children. I don't know from what you say for the nine to ten year old. And so it's several pages of a coloring book. Is that what it was?
Speaker3:
Actually, I just published my next book, which is about an alligator who's terrified of the dentist. So if you have a little one, he's just so scared when they go to the dentist. And this is a perfect book for him, for all your kids, because it's about the alligators. Name is Bubba and the entire story. He's using his imagination, imagining that when he gets there, he's going to end up being eaten by this monster in his mind going crazy. And so you realize that the dentist is not that bad and it's just a fun interactive story for kids. And that's just the coloring book. So there's actually pages from the actual coloring book that I'm giving away.
Speaker2:
My goodness. I don't know if you know how genius that is, that you chose dentistry. And just so many things went swirling into my head in a great way when you said that about I mean, dentists, unfortunately, they have one as a vocation. They have one of the highest suicide rates of all vocations because I mean, nobody, anyone hears dentists. They cringe if they've been to one before this because it's usually there's been involved. It's interesting. Personally, I've never felt that way toward a dentist ever. I look at it as I'm going in and they're going to help do something to improve what's going on inside my mouth. I know there's going to be pain, but that's not their fault. They're there to help for me personally. And I could never resonate with people that had this weird negativity toward dentists. But I know it exists and it's widespread. The data shows it with the suicide rates. But think about this just you probably already have. You're so astute. Look at all the dentist's office you could install these books into, have their kids reading them as they're in the waiting room or looking thumbing through them and then going, oh, this is going to be great by the time they walk in their dentist gone. You're a different child this time. This is amazing. So you have a massive market there just for your book, that book alone. And I'm sure your dad will probably nudge you in that direction or you probably
Speaker3:
Will help me out with that for sure.
Speaker2:
Yeah, and it's interesting because your dad and I are both involved in different networking groups. And I've noticed going through these groups, there are a lot that are centered around dentistry, which kind of blew my mind, marketing, helping them grow their business. And I was like, wow, why is dentistry such a high ticket or a popular
Speaker1:
Item when it comes to the entrepreneurial? It's just it kind of
Speaker2:
Still baffles me. But at the same time, it's a big market and I'm glad that you did that. And for more than just the fact that you're now able to spread more of your books around, but also for the message that the kids will receive.
Speaker3:
So hopefully relieve stress from the parents, because I know some kids that they will cry and not sleep because they know they have to go to the dentist. Wow.
Speaker2:
Yeah, that's just the sad, you know, OK, I take it. So I was surprised that people think that about dentists. I thought that about the doctor, really. Because when I was young I would get a shot in the buttocks, we would say, and it hurt as a kid. I like Scream. And so it's
Speaker1:
Funny because there was one day my mom was taking
Speaker2:
Me. You know, I'm always with my mom was a little bitty dude, and we're going up and down the aisles of a grocery store. And I saw the nurse and she was always the one that had the needle. And I recognized her and I immediately burst out ball in my head off in front of everybody and.
Speaker1:
She's going to give you a shot. She was the sweetest thing, she came over. Oh, I'm not going to give you a shot, honey.
Speaker2:
And she kind of laughed and understood. And now, many years later, and my mom's not with us anymore, and I doubt the nurses either. She was even older than my mom, but I still feel bad
Speaker1:
About that to this day.
Speaker3:
That's funny. I used to ask for shots when I was little. My brother thought when I cry and I got one that's like a chicken pot shot because I begged for it.
Speaker2:
Wow. Well, isn't it amazing how humans how we interpret things differently? You know, it's the same exact thing that's going to happen to you, that's going to happen to the next person. But person looks at it entirely different than personally. That's what makes us all unique. And I love that how we've been designed to be different. It would be boring if we're all the same, wouldn't it? Oh, yeah. Oh, my goodness. So. You've done a lot. You've put in a lot of effort writing a book, I don't care at what level is time consuming. I mean, if you're doing your artwork. I'm just going to ask you that. Did you do you do your own artwork?
Speaker3:
I do my own artwork.
Speaker2:
Wow. Even longer than, like, my goodness. So you're definitely motivated. You definitely have passion. So. How far and how long are you willing to do this until you've achieved a sense of success that you're striving for?
Speaker3:
I don't think there's ever a point that I should give up. I mean, because I have all these kids that are saying, well, I want to be an author like Jesse and I want to do this if I give up. I really think that's just going to be such a bad influence on the kids. So I'm not quitting, but I'm really going to be pushing forward even when it sucks and it's hard because.
Speaker2:
It never sucks and it's never hard, is it?
Speaker3:
Oh, it does get harder. When I first wrote the book, I thought, how am I going to put these characters in a story that's going to impact kids? And I've got my fourth book and I'm thinking, what am I going to do now? Which which angle am I going to go at now? What's that got to do more?
Speaker2:
And so I brought that up on purpose because you're twenty two, yet you have the wisdom of a 50 year old or greater.
Speaker3:
I'm fifty six and I see dinosaurs and I'm a child again.
Speaker2:
But the thing is, you are driven and you will stop at nothing. You will not stop until you have. And here's the beautiful thing I love about what you said is it wasn't because of anything you wanted to try to achieve. It was who was dependent upon you that your Y is outside of you. It's not about Jesse Terry and how much money she's going to make. It's about the kids. And I can't let them down. That's a great that's a great lesson for everyone that's out there. That's an entrepreneurs. What is your why is it that strong is as strong as Jessy's? She's twenty two and had great success for published books. Also, there's a reason for that is because she will stop at nothing. Her passion is that great. And one thing everyone should do is look deep inside and say it's my passion that great for what I'm doing. Yuri has another comment for us. She has such a compassionate heart. Even as she was bullied in public school, she chose kindness, but she's tough, won her first kickboxing match. Let's pivot to that, because I also understand that you got deep into the martial arts as well. I'm assuming that you had a really, really good teacher. I know a guy who's got a black belt I think lives in that house with you. But my five, my goodness,
Speaker3:
Know, I started martial arts when I was little. I was in gymnastics for a little bit and I hated it. I saw what my brother was doing and how he was getting to learn just karate and fighting. I thought, I want to do that. So I got into it. And my dad runs the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame. So I've been able to train with some of Bruce Lee's original students. I've gotten to train with Wallace and I get to be in a martial arts movie in September after Fashion Week. So it's pretty amazing because I was bullied pretty bad growing up and to get into the martial arts and realize I can find the confidence within myself just from being able to sustain myself. It was really a big deal for me.
Speaker2:
Wow. And so when you say you were bullied, what did that involve? If it doesn't
Speaker3:
For a lot of verbal and I did have a kid who was physically kind of mean to me, he threw a metal lunchbox and bruised my ribs. And I would never hit back, though, because I knew he was he had a family member who had just went to jail for dealing drugs. And I couldn't bring myself to take it out on him.
Speaker2:
Man, you are cut from a different cloth. And I appreciate that. That kind of mentality. It's it's not so easy all the time to turn the other cheek, so to speak. And kudos to you for doing that. But now that you have the background and acumen, people, if they are going to pick on you, you can just
Speaker3:
Hit them in the face. Now, I don't care. I actually got my mom said it on the chat, but I trained for two months and won my first kickboxing match in February in a cage fight. So that was so cool.
Speaker1:
Love it, I was telling your dad
Speaker2:
Earlier, I said, if I'm ever in a dark alley, I want him next to me. And so now, Jessica, it's either you or him. It doesn't matter anymore. Now that I know this will take I'll take either one. I'm not I'm not proud. I'll take any any protection I can get. So how many hours would you say you put in to your entrepreneurial activities every single day?
Speaker3:
I mean, I watch the kids all morning and then they leave about 5:00 and I have all night to do whatever I need to do to build my business in my brand. So lately I'm like, I don't need sleep. I'm young. And so I don't I can't really count how many hours. It's always something. And now I'm getting the little girl I watch full time. She wants to be an entrepreneur, too. So we're doing stuff together. So I have the opportunity.
Speaker2:
That's a phenomenon you mentioned you're writing a book with one of them right there.
Speaker3:
You've come up with some characters and we're drawing pictures together and we hope to have it published at the end of the summer.
Speaker2:
I mean, listen to everything she's saying, ladies and gentlemen. She brought in a joint venture partner, a young lady, a young child, to help to work with her on a book together, collaboratively. And they've already set a pretty much a date, a goal of when they want to complete it. And it's interesting to see when you say this, it sounds second nature to you, but so many entrepreneurs, much older than you never do that never set a goal, never look outside and get a partnership. No matter what the age is, it doesn't matter. It's much easier to do something with somebody who's got additional talents that maybe you may not have or just the help right then to do it on your own and then to be able to have the foresight to think of a time and say, let's get this done by the end of the summer.
Speaker3:
And that works so well with kids because I've always loved schedules. If you don't set a date, you're always going to put it off. So I told her in the summer we'll get it done. If we don't get it done, then we didn't manage our time well.
Speaker2:
And that's a universal truth right there to see not just kids, every adult. So we all have these smartphones that all of them have some kind of calendar built into them. So one would not be the right time to start using that for everyone and schedule out things, schedule and everything that you do something big.
Speaker3:
You just start writing one page a day, just put something on paper. Everyone has the passion, the dream. They need to go after it. You're never too old to make a difference for sure.
Speaker2:
I love it. And Calomiris. Well, I need this motivation. So see your year just by being on this show, Jesse, you're reaching out and impacting other lives in a positive way. And we're live right now. When it's people are listening to the recording, there'll be many more that listen to it afterward and that will help spread the word and motivate further people. So just by you showing up, I wanted you to know that you're having a positive impact already and just recognize and realize that and do more of this, get on more podcast, get on more shows and spread the word about what you're doing for children, what you're doing for the dentist industry, that that one's huge. And yeah, get get involved with dentist and get on their shows. They have their dentists out there. They're doing podcasts, which was like, what are they talk about? But they must have something good
Speaker3:
But horrible sound of the grinding on your teeth. Favorite noise.
Speaker2:
So maybe they need a little Ebeneezer earmuffs to go with their coloring book to take out the sound. But maybe anemones are dollar Holon too. All they're going to the the procedure. But yeah, definitely keep keep spreading the word. And I know your dad will help getting you connected and we're involved in that network that we've been been in this week. Right. You and I and your dad. Definitely there's a lot of connections there. You can hit us. Fantastic. So you're twenty two. It doesn't matter how old you are at any age. Some things have to give in order to succeed. Some things that you truly love to do, want to do, need to be put on the back burner at times for you to get to the next step. So what kind of sacrifices, if you would call them that, have you had to make so far just to get to where you are today?
Speaker3:
Definitely my my social life, that sounds kind of like, oh, my gosh, I have no friends, but it's been so much focus on writing my books and working with kids that I don't go hang out with people as often as people say, well, you need a social life. You have nobody in my life, but I'm making an impact. So when I'm on top and you're out partying with your friends, you're going to say, man, I should have spent more time building my brand. So I've sacrificed personal friendships and things like that, just having people to go out with. If I don't, I don't need to go out. I have kids to take care of and I have books to write. You can come right with me.
Speaker2:
I like you. Come join me. That's awesome. Yuri has more, she spent five weeks with me in Costa Rica teaching women's self-defense. I mean, come on now. I mean, martial artist, self-defense teacher, fashion model, world traveler who gets proposed to. Oh, let's talk about that one.
Speaker3:
Oh, OK. When I was in Cameroon, when I was sick, I had to go to the doctor there because my gallbladder had just shut down. So we were on a motorcycle with two other people. So there were three of us on one motorcycle and the guy had drove by next to us, got off of his, came over to us and we had gotten off of ours. And he goes, I want you to marry me. And I had been prepped. And they said that they will they will propose to you because you look different than them. And they might think you have money. Like, I have one hundred dollars and I do not need your 40 year old hand marriage. So I'm still single, not very much engaged. So that was crazy.
Speaker1:
When he told me that right before we started the show, I was like blown away. I like that happens.
Speaker3:
That happens a lot. Like, I'm good. I'm too young for you.
Speaker1:
We talk about,
Speaker2:
You know, just skipping step two through ninety nine. It's like Hello Kitty. Didn't tell you his name?
Speaker3:
No, he only spoke French. He knew enough English to propose.
Speaker1:
Oh my gosh. Oh well they talk about icebreakers man. Yeah, that's a huge one. It's just hilarious to me that I mean do they honestly expect the answer of. Yes, I don't
Speaker3:
Know what he wanted, but he wasn't getting it.
Speaker2:
That's good. And then. Yeah, fantastic.
Speaker1:
This is great. So.
Speaker2:
Let's say you come up with an idea for moving forward like another book, and you know that setbacks occur during these times, what how long how long are you going to stick with an idea before you give up? Like what would be a defining moment to say, that's it. I have got to just shelve this and move on.
Speaker3:
There's not one. I mean, if I know that I'm going to do something, I'm not going to quit until I've accomplished it. Unless I die and spontaneously combust, then I'm not going to quit because when I first wrote Ebenezer's Journal and then I wrote since this adventure. This is an amazing idea. And I got to do it before somebody else does. That's what my my dad always told me, if you have this idea and if you don't do it, somebody else do it before you. Well, I got to get it done.
Speaker2:
Words of wisdom from that for sure, I mean.
Speaker3:
Oh, no.
Speaker2:
Yeah, you are blessed and so are the blessed to have them as parents. They are blessed to have you as their daughter.
Speaker1:
Wow.
Speaker3:
Yeah. She would listen to me. I would have these ideas late at night. My mom would just listen to me talk about it like forget her sleep schedule. She's got to help me out, which I'm very grateful to her for that because she has a lot of sleep for my brilliant.
Speaker2:
And I'm sure she is loving hearing that every parent does love that and, you know, being a parent myself, we want what's best for our kids. I know that's where your mom and dad come from as well. And she's now saying she used to schedule out playtime when friends came over to play.
Speaker1:
That's awesome.
Speaker3:
I said,
Speaker2:
That is awesome. I mean, the things you're doing at such a young age are lessons that many people my age still don't follow. And they wonder why they're stuck and not making it in life. And you figured it out at a very young age. You've been your teacher all your coachable, obviously. Thankfully, you're one of those kids that listens to her parents because
Speaker3:
That is so important when you talk about sacrifice. I sacrifice having a relationship I've never dated, never had a boyfriend. I thought I have things to do. And until a guy meets my standards and can do these things with me, then I don't need a boyfriend. So if I had met somebody when I was a teenager, I would tell my mom about it and she say no. And so I had to stop. I didn't think she would be telling me and my dad wouldn't be getting a shotgun if he didn't think that this was worth it. So, I mean, all the other people my age watching, if your mom and dad say no, they say it for a reason. They were your age. They wanted to fall in love and have that Hallmark movie thing. But it's not worth it if you're not ready.
Speaker2:
Yeah, and you have a solid base, solid foundation with your parents, so definitely that's not so quick. Like I heard this, you said shotgun. So one thing I was told by another, guys like you want to you want a foolproof way to make sure that a boy doesn't do anything bad by your daughter and said, yeah, I will address them at the door with a shotgun in your hand, like holding on to it and then bring them into the house and sit down and and just sit there quietly for a while and just say, you know, I've been to prison once and then you look down at your gun and kind of clean it off a little bit, look back up at the young gentleman again and then say. Don't mind going back
Speaker1:
Home
Speaker3:
For you
Speaker2:
If that doesn't. I never did that. My daughter has married a wonderful young man, so we're happy for her and for both of them. So we never had to do with that.
Speaker1:
But it was fun.
Speaker2:
That would be a great tip for relationship advice for budding fathers
Speaker1:
Who have coming into the world.
Speaker2:
My goodness. So do you do anything like specifically to bring up new ideas or they just come to you as you're working on something else?
Speaker3:
What's wrong? A lot drawing really helps. So I have all these ideas and pictures in my head, so I thought, well, I'll just put them on paper and I also enjoy doing special effects makeup. That's another thing that's really helped, because when I'm working with the kids every Halloween, I have like five or six kids show up at my door and I do all their makeup. So it's using my creative ideas and putting them on someone's face or on paper really inspires me to, hey, this is a good idea. Or maybe I should make the zombie in my next character and it just helps.
Speaker2:
Oh, my gosh. I've heard that's a great piece of advice for people that know how to draw. I can't draw a stick figure from my life, but for those that are creative in that area, what a great way to come up with new ideas is. Just start sketching out things and use that as a way to get your creative juices going. That's phenomenal. So it doesn't sound like you have any downtime whatsoever for yourself or if you do, what do you do for fun? I mean, so you are with kids all day long, then you're working your business all evening long, you know, meet with friends unless they're scheduled then. So what do you do for fun, Jesse?
Speaker3:
I work out. I love to workout. I'll work out two or three times a day if I get the chance. And then I work as an inspector for the Arkansas State Athletic Commission and then they fights on the weekends. Wow, I'm either working out or doing martial arts or drawing.
Speaker2:
And for you, what is what is working up?
Speaker3:
Lots of cardio and running and weights, not too much, because I don't want to like a man, but a little bit of weight.
Speaker2:
Cool, and so most of it's done at the gym,
Speaker3:
I do it in my kitchen, but I don't really I mean, I have the means necessary to work out at home without having to go to the gym. So I think I can work out some work on my business when I go work out again.
Speaker2:
So you must have a huge kitchen to be running there.
Speaker3:
No, I run on.
Speaker2:
That's that's awesome. And just so you know, Jesse, you can lift as many weights as you want. Don't worry. You will not end up growing man muscles. And to do that, you would have to take a lot of supplementation that is meant for bodybuilding. And so a lot of women have that. I used to be in the fitness industry and a lot of women would say, I don't want to look like a man and say, don't worry, you will just look stunningly awesome and tone. You will not look muscular like you can out arm wrestle another guy you probably could just see, but you wouldn't look like you could. And that's what a lot of women don't want to look like, a manly muscle. So don't worry about that. And and resistance training is a word for it when you're lifting weights, anything that just in your muscle is extremely good for you. I mean, even it's even more effective in weight loss when you get to that age, it'll come. Trust me, it does for all of us. It's found that resistance training is better than actual cardio because resistance of muscle just did existing burns fat. And so the more muscle you have, again, not showing us man muscle, but nice tone muscle, it will burn fat just by its existence. And that came because bodybuilders, they ate like I'm talking about male bodybuilders. They ate lots of food to keep their muscle fueled. And then at night, I forgot how many pounds, pounds they lost pounds of weight every night just because the muscle and the energy it put off was burning all the fat and everything that was in their body. So anyway, that's pretty neat. Goodness sakes.
Speaker3:
This is that is really neat.
Speaker2:
Yeah, and cardio is good, too. So it's all good. It's a great stress reliever as well. Gets the lungs going out of oxygen
Speaker3:
And outrun my dad. That's my favorite. Come on. Come on.
Speaker2:
Ok, so we're talking speed, distance or both
Speaker3:
Distance and speed. All right. What do you think? Good for his young age of twenty nine for like 40 years or whatever. He says he's doing really good.
Speaker1:
I love it.
Speaker2:
Oh, my goodness. Oh, good, yes, so Carleo Matrixes so true, my parents wisdom has certainly been a blessing to me. So that's fantastic. Thank you for that. Oh, look at this, Jerry Combs's Jesse is an amazing young woman who has earned the respect of our lifetime guidance team. She is an example of a self-confident person of influence for young aspiring leaders. Oh, my goodness.
Speaker3:
You can put them on a mug. That would be cool.
Speaker2:
There you go. So. Yeah, yeah. Thank you. I'll go with your book series and a mug. I've trained her on red flags. Uri's is not sure what that one was, his response to warnings,
Speaker3:
Just watching out for the red flags and things that could happen. But thanks, Mom.
Speaker2:
Thanks, Mom. Love that. See, I don't even know why she said that, but thank you nonetheless. And you're being grateful, just living true to yourself.
Speaker3:
Something to me when I get home. And she explains it.
Speaker1:
Yes, yes. Yes, yes. So.
Speaker2:
You've done a lot in a short period of time. I mean, if you had to give a new person that was about to start up and let's say they're twenty five, maybe 30 years old there, they're established somewhat in life. And you want to or they came to you and said, Jesse, I already see you've accomplished so much. Can you give me one piece of advice that would help me to go down the same path you are? If you were able to do that, what kind of advice would you give them?
Speaker3:
I would first tell them that everything that I've learned has come from trusting God is seeking his wisdom because I can't do that on my own. I can come up with these cute stories and have meaningful things. But if I'm not trusting God to help me, then it's not going to make an impact at all.
Speaker2:
And so does that involves praying before, maybe during all your writing and
Speaker3:
Just praying that you don't have to be on your knees, you can just be talking to them like a conversation,
Speaker2:
Love it that you just read my mind. Like, what do people think that means that don't know. Right.
Speaker1:
Yeah.
Speaker2:
And that's the thing a lot of people think that make it a formal thing, you know, and like you said, get on your knees or strike some certain pose, get on the ground, whatever God just wants you to talk to.
Speaker3:
Yeah. He's like a loving father. So why would you do anything like anything else?
Speaker2:
Man, so while. Everything about your family is it's just it's all coming together. That's I see why you are also amazing. What great what great foundation that John and Uri have put together and built for you. Do you have siblings? Are you an only child?
Speaker3:
I have five siblings, three brothers and an older sister and a younger sister. I'm the second youngest of all of them.
Speaker1:
Wow. Wow.
Speaker3:
Only one at home for now. My sister comes home on the weekends because she's also a nanny. Her two days a week
Speaker2:
And the rest are gone, huh,
Speaker3:
Either married or I don't know where, I hardly ever.
Speaker1:
You're too busy writing books and taking care of your business,
Speaker2:
Getting it going. Oh, fantastic. So we do have a couple of gifts to give away. And one of the things I like to do, just see with each and every person that comes on to the show, I ask them all a similar question. Now, I hope you didn't cheat and watch your dad show toward the end.
Speaker3:
He told me to, but I thought, you know what? I'm going to wait and wait for a good time.
Speaker2:
Honestly, that's also a good reason. So, yeah, I'd like to ask the same question of every entrepreneur that comes on the show. And it's interesting because that wasn't the plan when I first started the show, but I asked it once and asked a second time and like, oh, oh, it's different, OK. So I kept asking it and it's been amazing. It's a very powerful, profound, impactful, yet very short question. And we'll get to that in just a moment. But before we do that, I did promise everyone that if they stayed until the end, I'd show them a way to win a five night stay at a five star luxury resort. Compliments of the big insider secrets, and we'll get to that in just a moment before I do that, what I wanted to do, Jesse, is real quick is pull up your website and wanted to give people an avenue, a means of connecting with you and getting reaching out to maybe dentists or other or parents in general because you're out to help children and their mindset and to help improve it. So let's bring that up real quick. And show everyone this is Ebenezer's Journal dot com. I'll put that up on. The screen. Wrong on.
Speaker1:
Come on.
Speaker2:
Oh, I have the wrong one. That's all right. So Ebenezer's Journal Dotcom is her website and definitely go head on over there. So what is your website's purpose? What do you want people to get out of the visiting your website?
Speaker3:
You can actually read Imbil in each and every character on there. I haven't got to update it with the newest character, but you can actually go to the about page and it shows you all the monsters and like a little little tidbit about each one of them.
Speaker2:
Monster Topia. I love it. And so these are all characters in her book that are on the
Speaker3:
Asteroid with one. If you ordered the book, you can find out his name.
Speaker2:
All right, so that one's not listed on here, then, no, and by order, the book is it. Which book is it?
Speaker3:
There's Ebony, there's Journal, there's Ebony, there's coloring books, and there's no sense of adventure. And it's just kind.
Speaker2:
Do they have the. Which one has the new character in it?
Speaker3:
The coloring book for Ebenezer's Journal right there.
Speaker2:
There's Bubba's dentist adventure, my friend, that's fantastic on another one, so coloring book to go with it. Oh, this is phenomenal. This is phenomenal, so you can have a book and I mean, I remember being in a dentist's office and they had I think it was called highlights
Speaker3:
And I love Twilight. Yeah.
Speaker2:
And I'd always turn immediately to the part where you're supposed to find different elements in a get out thing. And I love those kind of like a Where's Waldo without color. And I was always so disappointed when I found someone that had gone before me actually circled them with a pencil. I'm like, Oh,
Speaker1:
You ruined my whole visit. So this is
Speaker3:
A great if you go to the contact page is actually a free giveaway, you can actually get some of the color.
Speaker2:
Yes, so here is your gift, everybody go to the Web site you see on the screen, Ebenezer's Journal dot com for such contact. And there you will see a button that says free coloring pages. You just want to click on that. There you go. Instantly have a PDF six pages. You can print that out and have your kids or your someone, you know, kids take that out and do some coloring and tell you if they like it or not and go back, get the book and the coloring, the full coloring book that goes with it. So phenomenal job. Great job on all this. I can see why Mom and Dad are so incredibly proud of you. Fantastic. We'll get that their side by side. And we have some comments flowing in, so we have come in. Yes, home schooling makes the best difference. Yeah, it's a. I've seen others that have been homeschooled, but it all depends on the leaders and that would be the parents. And so there are some that I've run across that were home schooled and you could say, wow. You just knew something was different and not right about those individuals.
Speaker3:
Were smart or they don't know anybody
Speaker1:
Because, you know,
Speaker2:
Homeschooling is a whole different whole different experience because now you're not able to socially interact with a lot of other kids. So it's all behind that area. But I was leading all that up to say you have phenomenal parents based on how you came out. And did they homeschool all of you?
Speaker3:
No, actually, I was in public school from kindergarten to fifth grade, and I was just getting to a point where I was being bullied so much that I just wanted to pull out and do homeschooling. And I had more opportunity to travel. OK, Mr. tried to homeschool, and that was I love her, but I'm so glad she went back to private school, it was the best. She's so much more. She depends on having all the people around her. So that was the best for her. But I'm so independent that it works better for me.
Speaker1:
Ok, good. Very good. Very good.
Speaker2:
All right. Everyone ready for the giveaway? So stick with us, because I'm going to be answering or asking Jesse the big question right after this. So remember us saying don't go running away and clicking away and taking your attention from the show? Well, I think Jesse will agree with me now that it's OK for temporarily to take your case away and pull out that smartphone of yours. And why do I say that? Because this is how you enter to win. Bring it up on the screen. To enter, to win, simply bring up your text messaging app and where you would type in the name of the person you're going to send a text to instead type in this number and you may want to write this down. We're going to keep this up very short because I need to ask Jesse that great question. At the end, that number is three one four six six five one seven six seven. Again, that's three one four six six five one seven, six, seven. And then down in the area where he would tap and then type in your message where the emojis and things like that would go just type in two words separated by a dash or a hyphen, if you prefer. Those two words are peak dash vacation. So pick dash vacation and hit the send button and then keep an eye on your phone. You will get a response back automatically and it will ask you for your email address. And so for you to be officially entered into this contest, we need your email address because our automated system will then take over and pick a random winner for tonight's giveaway. And you'll have an option to allow us to announce that you are the winner on Facebook. If you don't want us to, we won't. That's fine, too. But just want to give you a heads up on what to expect after you enter that information. And I hope to see you win, whoever it is that's watching right now, all of you, we only pick one, but looking forward to that and see who wins that. Jesse, are you ready?
Speaker3:
I sent the text message. I want to go. Yes, I'm ready.
Speaker2:
That's awesome. So, yes, guest experts are allowed to enter, too. I saw you typing.
Speaker3:
I'm really disappointed to see it said no. I'm like, oh, man.
Speaker2:
Yeah, we'll see. And it'll be a random draw for all those that enter. So everyone out there, we know we have at least one entry, so we better get it in there quick. All right. For the question of the hour, so Jesse, this is a very powerful, profound question, but at the same time, I want you to know that there is absolutely no such thing as a wrong answer. Oh, so you did hear this before?
Speaker3:
No, I knew you'd say that because I hear that when I asked my mom something,
Speaker1:
I love it.
Speaker2:
Well, what's the opposite of that? The only correct answer is your yes, it's yours because it's personal in nature only because it's it's unique to each individual. That's what makes it personal. Nothing more than good.
Speaker3:
Yes, I'm ready. You're killing me.
Speaker1:
She's ready. I love it.
Speaker2:
I figured you would be all right. Here we go. Jesse Terry. How do you define success?
Speaker3:
Success is not something I would say I, I agree with it as being something good. But success to significance is waking up in the morning and saying, this is what I'm going to do and this is my goal for the day and not doing it for yourself, but doing it to make an impact for somebody else to a successful life, a significant one future.
Speaker1:
Boom. Oh, we haven't done this yet. We got to do this once. Oh, yes,
Speaker2:
That was a wonderful bomb dropping moment, smart bombs, wisdom, bombs of wisdom, knowledge bombs, they were all there. Fantastic. Great. Great show. Jesse, thank you so much for coming on. You've been an absolute gem. Thank you to John and Uri for allowing you to step away from them for a moment and be a part of this show. Thank you to Ebenezer back there, who's sitting on the desk.
Speaker3:
Appreciate it. I tell you what I watch for like this.
Speaker2:
Well, there you have the model for them say look like him.
Speaker1:
All right, Jesse, on behalf
Speaker2:

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.

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.

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.
