Brian Kelly:
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. We have a juggernaut of a guest on tonight. I cannot wait to share her with you and the world in a moment. The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. What is that all about? Well, it is about what I call the three pillars of success. And these three pillars came about during the last decade or so while I was studying only successful people. (I) wanted to find out what made them tick, what made them more successful than me? Because let's face it, we're all human beings, we put our pants or our shorts on one leg at a time If we're human, most of us do. And, everyone is the same, so what makes them different? What makes them more successful? So, I began studying that, and three patterns kept bubbling up to the top, and you might be able to guess what those are. Yes, they're part of the show's name. So, mind, that is about mindset, having a very positive, yet very flexible and powerful mindset. Each person to a person who I studied that had achieved very, very great success, had mastered the mindset part of the game. And then there's body. And that's literally about taking care of your body, both nutritionally, what you take in, and through, what a lot of people call a four-letter word, that's many more than that, exercise. Yes. Exercise. So, those that are phenomenally successful take care of their bodies inside and out. And then there's business. They had mastered the skills necessary to create, maintain, and build thriving businesses. And these are skill sets that are they're wide and varied. They're like marketing, sales, team building, leadership, scaling, systematizing. I could go on for quite a while. And here's the thing, to master any skill set takes a large amount of time. The good news is, you don't have to master every one of them personally. If you just master one, and I actually mentioned in that list I just rattled off. If you, if you just master one skill set, then you will be set going forward. Okay, do you want to know what that one was? It was the skill set of leadership. Once you have mastered that skill set, you are able to delegate to those who do have the skills and already have mastered them that are part of your team. And then you can continue on working on your business, instead of in it trying to master additional skills. So that is what The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show is all about. It's a show for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs. And we have a phenomenal guest coming on in just a moment. And another great quality that always bubbled up to the top for any and all who had achieved great success was to a person, I found out that they were all very avid readers. And with that, I like to segway over into a very short segment. I like to affectionately call, bookmarks.

Narrator:
Bookmarks, born to read, bookmarks, ready, steady, read! Bookmarks, brought to you by, reachyourpeaklibrary.com.

Brian Kelly:
Yes, there you see, reachyourpeaklibrary.com. Please do yourself a favor and get out a pen and paper or something to take notes with, and write these resources down. I have a feeling we're going to have many for you tonight. And I don't want you to go clicking away and miss out on what could possibly be that one golden nugget that could change your life forever. Because trust me, when Nina comes on, you're going to want to listen. In fact, you want to listen right now, because she's coming on very, very soon. You don't want to miss her, at all, not one second. So, take out a pad of paper and write down resources as you hear them, reachyourpeaklibrary.com is one of them. Write that down. And what is that? It is simply a website I had built with you in mind. And it sounds a little cheesy, but it's the absolute truth. What I did was I began compiling all the books I had personally read. Here's the thing. I did not start reading avidly or voraciously until about the age of forty-seven. I am fifty-six now, and I realized, my gosh, this has a humongous impact on my life, both from a business standpoint and personally. So I began cataloging all the books that actually had impact. So not every book I read is in here. I did this so that you would have a one-stop-shop. If you need the next great read, you can go to one place where at least one other successful person has vetted these books and the odds of you wasting time are minimized. It's all about efficiency. It's about getting things done. It's about taking action to be a successful entrepreneur. So that is what Reach Your Peak Library is all about. And I just wanted to show that to you, that that is my gift to you. You click those buttons, it goes straight to Amazon and you can purchase whatever flavor of book you like, whether it's hardbound, softcover, audible. What's the other one? Kindle. It doesn't matter if it's there, you can purchase whichever one you like. And, yeah, I'll make a few pennies, literally, I think it's a few pennies. It's not a money-making website. That's not the reason I did that. So, speaking of making money, we have somebody who is an expert at doing this, not just for herself. This woman knows how to help you build a seven-figure business in very limited time. And so I don't want to wait any longer. I can't wait to bring her on. So here we go. She's coming on now.

Narrator:
It's time for the guest expert spotlight. Savvy, skillful, professional, adept, trained, big-league, qualified.

Brian Kelly:
And there she is, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, it is, the only, the one, Nina Venturella.

Nina Venturella:
Hey Brian, hi everyone. Good to be here.

Brian Kelly:
Oh, my goodness. Oh, I can't wait till we dive into everything that's happened with both of us in such a short period of time. Nina, there's so much, it's been a whirlwind of fun and activity. Before we jump in, a little bit of housekeeping, if I may. And that is: hey, for everyone here, if you stay and you watch live until the very end, you can win a five-night stay at a five-star luxury resort. Compliments of the big insider secrets. You see the big red icon or logo up there on the right-hand corner if you're watching either live or through recording. For those of you listening, it's thebiginsidersecrets.com. And they give us this vacation stay to give away each and every show. It is phenomenal and it's legitimate. You're not going to get whisked away and be put in a dungeon and listen to a timeshare pitch. It doesn't work that way, at all. And how do I know that? Because the owner, the founder of The Big Insider Secrets, Jason Nast, has gone himself using the very thing he gives away, three times. And he knows that it's legit, and I know it's legit because Jason's a dear friend of mine. Who wouldn't be a dear friend of mine that's helping me to give away vacation stays? Come on now. All right.

So before we jump in, Nina, I'm going to do that quick but very respectful intro of you. And then we're going to, we're going to need to understand what this is all about, because there's a lot behind this.

Nina Venturella:
Ya, there is.

Brian Kelly:
Nina Ventrella helps create and implement intellectual property for disgruntled coaches and authors to become seven-figure authorities with her five-step zero to hero methodology to a million dollars in, get this, two years or less, one more word, guaranteed. Who do you know that does that? I don't know anybody except this young lady right here. I know it's not nice to point, my mom taught me that, but I'm going to do it so you know who we're talking about. So, Nina, my gosh, I cannot wait to dive in and figure out what that's all about. I like to open the show and really go a little bit deeper than the surface if you know what I mean. So you, you are very accomplished. You are very successful. You are very professional. And I've gotten the blessing, the sheer blessing of being able to work with you directly over these past just few weeks. It's been amazing. I'm curious, though, you have such a great, great outlook on life. Always upbeat, always positive, and we're all human, stuff knocks us back. So, for you, I think I know the answer to this, but I want to find out what it is, for everyone else. What is it when you get up in the morning knowing that you have all these things to take care of, the challenges that are going to come and knock you back. What is it that motivates you? What's going on in that beautiful brain of yours that says, I've got this, I'm going to crush it, and there's nothing that's going to hold me back so I can serve more people?

Nina Venturella:
Well, yeah, you're right. The very first thing is my relationship with God. I mean, that's just it's just where I go. So I spend my mornings getting up with the Lord and I pray and I meditate on his word and I stand on his promises and it gets my day started. I'll tell you, I had one day this week where, well, it was Monday really, and Tuesday where I actually didn't do that, and I was completely off my game, completely off my game. And when I get off my game, I'm not in my and I'm not in my spot where I should be. It just throws my entire day off. So I had to get myself back on track. I had to spend some more time with God and get myself back on track and just start declaring over myself and just start aligning with the promises of God. It really starts there for me. And then the other thing is. You know, really understanding the gifts that I have been given by God myself and I'm blessed to be able to share these gifts, and it's funny because since Covid, and I'm telling you the honest truth. I've started four businesses, a TV show, and it's just like crazy. And, before that, I had one business that I did really, really well, that I'm actually the process of selling. So it's just interesting how that the entire chapter of my life has changed dramatically since Covid. So I took this opportunity and I seized it and I looked at what I call my oil. What is my oil, what is it that I carry that I can offer other people and help benefit them and get them where they need to go? And one of the things that I did really well for myself over the last 14 years, because I've been in the wellness industry for many years and I had a proprietary process that you called your intellectual property, your IP. And it was this amazing gift that I had for the lymphatic system. And I'm going to give God the glory again, because I didn't go to school to learn it. It was downloaded to me in a wellness center that I had, which I also franchised. And it just launched my entire career in the wellness industry. I became a household name. I started teaching people this modality around the nation and everyone kind of knew who I was in that industry. Sought after speaker, I had an academy, trained hundreds, hundreds of people, worked on thousands of people. And it's just been a huge success. When Covid hit, nobody was touching anybody because it was an actual, physical, hands-on technique. Now, here's the funny. My husband just retired and he sold his business. So honestly, I could have been one of those women who's like, "Yay, I'll just chill out, relax. I don't have to do anything". But you know what it did, it motivated me more to say, "You know what? Now I have this opportunity, I'm not traveling". Because I used to travel every other week for seven years in my academy. I scaled it finally, so that started going a little bit lower, but still, I still had to do some of the hands-on stuff. When you get an opportunity to be home in your own environment and call the shots for yourself and then look at the giftings that you have and put it all together. You have a winning solution. So I looked at what did I do for myself for the last fourteen years? I created my own intellectual property and I went from a zero to hero methodology where people knew who I was. I was an authority in that industry. Mainly in the oil industry, naturopaths, chiropractors, they all knew they knew me. And so what ended up happening is, when Covid hit, I said, "why don't I just do that for coaches?" And it went from coaches to authors because most coaches are usually authors or most authors are coaches. So it kind of did blend together. And it just, it snowballed. Exploded. I started getting write-ups in America's Best Magazine and Forbes and Entrepeneur.com and everyone started to learn who I am, and now I'm being sought after, and I'm like, "OK, this is, this is amazing. Like, how did this happen?" And I think one of the reasons why is because throughout my journey. And when I say journey, oh my gosh, was it a journey. Let me tell you, if you never started a business from scratch and it's a brick and mortar business and there's expenses, and you have employees and you're franchising, it is a journey. All right. Like it's not easy. It is not for the faint-hearted. It's intense stuff. And I got really humbled really quickly. I learned a lot of things, what not to do in business more than I learned what to do in business. And I lost a lot of money and I almost lost my marriage. And I just, I went through the, the horrors, and the trials and tribulations of starting a business. And not really understanding business, but knowing that I had gifts. But I didn't really know how to bring those gifts into the business marketplace. I just knew what I knew how to do. I knew how to get people healthy, how to lose weight. And I was really good at that. And then I got the signature process called X'Tract for the lymphatic system, and that became my signature process. People knew about it and that's kind of how everything grew. But I didn't ever have to advertise. I didn't have to market myself. I never had to do anything. I literally had a word of mouth business that took me, for 14 years I never had to do anything. People were looking for me. And what that does is it gives you a opportunity to eliminate your, to crush your competition. And it puts you in a lane of one. And when you can do that, you are now dominating the marketplace. And I thought, well, gosh, you know what? I need to do that for coaches, but I need coaches to understand that they have amazing value. They have amazing gold in them, but they don't know how to find it. So I actually help coaches and authors find their goal, their brilliance. And help them brand themselves, market themselves and really pull out this beauty that they have in them that's been stuck in them for so many years or decades for some. And show them what that looks like and how to monetize that. And I've gotten really good at being able to do that where I can listen to somebody for fifteen, twenty minutes and say, "yep, I got it". "I can see where your gold is. I know how to monetize you, I know how to get you where you need to go". And I work from the end to the beginning. So I go let's, let's go where we're going to go. What's the end game. And then let's work backwards and let's focus on how to get you to the end game. And so by doing that and just again since Covid, I've been able to do that very successfully for a lot of people to where people are starting to say, oh, you need to meet Nina, or you need to learn what she's doing because she's doing this. And it's just really kind of cool what's happening. When I went from something that I've never, ever done before to where I am today very quickly. When was Covid, not even a year, right? Almost a year, or was it a year?

Brian Kelly:
Yeah.

Nina Venturella:
Almost a year. Yeah. So, things happen really quickly when you, when you really see your goals and you have that brilliance come out of you. You start to start to take ownership and then that imposter syndrome goes away. And I know coaches do deal with that. And I think it's because you're in your stuff too much. You need somebody to pull out your brilliance. And once you do that and then they say, hey, this is what it looks like, and then they show you it. Then you're like, oh, wow, I didn't even know I had that. I mean, I had to do it for myself because I didn't have anybody to do it with me or do it for me. I learned how to do it. So it was self-taught, but now I know how to do it for other people. And man, I can take you a lot quicker, a lot further than it took me with a lot less mistakes. Right? Because you can learn from my mistakes. And so that's one of the things that I do. I believe I'm really gifted in, is to be able to see people from the inside out and see their ability and see their gold and then help them polished up that gold so that they can see it for themselves and really take ownership of who they are and what they're called to.

Brian Kelly:
So many golden nuggets on that. That's our show. Good night, everybody. No, I'm kidding. That was phenomenal. Hello, Brenda Miller from Metro Detroit, by way of LinkedIn. Thanks for coming on the show. My gosh, you hit on so many amazing key points Nina. One was what I call discipline. In the beginning, where you had ventured away from your usual daily ritual or routine of being one with God and doing what you do with God. And once you came back then things were back in the right. And that is so true of every person I've ever talked to, including yours truly. Any time we vary or venture away from the discipline that we know works for us and we don't implement it on a regular basis when we take that pause, well, so our business does the same thing. It takes a pause and things don't go the right way, and you just know something's not right. It's like, oh, you know what? I dropped off my game. There's something different. And then you mentioned it also that, you know, because of the mistakes you've made and that's the beautiful thing. You can stand firmly in what you do because you know, not only what to do, but also what not to do. You have both sides working for you. And there's no substitute on this planet for experience. And that is what Nina brings to the table. And then, oh, I love the part about how you're extracting the brilliance out of people. This is cool because we are all the same way. None of us think we have anything special. It's just automatic for us. Right? I was a perfect example of that. I do all this automation. I just love it. And I just it's a natural. And then I heard person after person say, can you show me how to do that? It's like, really, it's easy, but OK. And then after going through with clients now and going in at depth. I go, oh my gosh, they really didn't know how to do what I know how to do. I just didn't know that. Right? And you just don't know that what you're brilliant at what you were born with, with the God given talents you were given oftentimes are not, they're very difficult for other people to achieve. And we all need help, that's beautiful. God did not make us all talented. And so we are here to help each other. That's what is so beautiful about all of this. And yeah, that's what I had for that. That was, phew, I was, so I'm asking people to write notes. Look, I'm running the show here. And I'm taking my own notes here.

Nina Venturella:
I talk fast, you know that.

Brian Kelly:
Director, producer, host, interviewer, oh, my gosh, the whole thing. Cameraperson. I know there's no real camera, well there is. There's one right there. And Nina has one, I'm not controlling hers, but we're having fun. I want to learn more about your business, where you take people and their business and you take coaches and authors to that seven-figure promise land. I mean, two years, a lot of people go, come on Nina, you've got to be, what are you smoking to say something like that? That's just impossible. You know, I don't have much going on, how are you going to take me to seven figures? There are steps involved, I understand, and not everybody qualifies, but can you take us through quickly how, how you achieve that for people?

Nina Venturella:
So, yes. So as Covid hit, I became co-founders and business partners with other companies through this proprietary process called One Box Fits All, where I help people create their own intellectual property. And I do it through the zero or hero methodology program, where I can, like I said, I can come in and help anybody at any level really create their brilliance and package it for them so that they can monetize it. And so in doing so for myself, I hired this company as a client to do this program with another business partner called The Coachanaire Institute. And we hired this company to help us create something called a high ticket program and a master class program to where we have an offering as a high ticket program like twenty-five thousand or higher. Ours is actually a hundred thousand dollars. But the whole genius of it is its risk reversal. And what that basically is, and not all people understand what that is. Is it a guaranteed program to help us in that Coachanaire Institue program, get to a million dollars by offering people to become business consultants? And we have a whole turnkey process. So we are a client as well as a business partner in this other company. So by utilizing that type of program, we now are doing that for people who want to become authors. So let me explain what that looks like. So we created a high ticket program for authors who have a idea. Maybe they want to write a book or they have some kind of a story that they want to tell, but they're not really sure how to get it out there. So we have something called the Million Dollar Book Launch Program. It's by Embark, and that's one of my other companies that I'm a partner with. And we've gotten a place where we can actually help people become a millionaire in two years or less guaranteed because we do something called performance based risk reversal. And what that means is we give you value of one hundred thousand dollars in value that you get. We guarantee you a million dollars within eighteen months, but you only pay the first stage and the rest is all based on performance. And so, for example, the first stage that we do is we actually help you build your IP. We help you validate it to make sure it does sell, and then we help you roadmap it. So we take you all the way to the end and then we work out a plan from beginning to end. And you have this complete blueprint, this roadmap, you know exactly where you're going, how you're going to get there. And it's a done for you, done with you program. So the very first stage you pay twelve thousand five hundred dollars. That's it. If you want to go to the next stage and have a lead generation machine created for you with all your funnels and your master class built out, then you go to stage two and you can pay an additional twelve five. But you don't have to go there. You could start out at twelve five. You pay that and that's all you ever pay. The rest is all based on results. Now, remember you're getting a hundred thousand dollars worth of value done for you, done with your program. We write your book, we publish your book. We do a philanthropy piece. We do all the marketing, all the sales, all the lead generation. We do all the buildout. We do all the IP generation. We do it all. I mean, all of it. Right. And then we even put you in touch with the right people. We have like a scale the Seven-figure Master Class where you're with other people who are like-minded and you guys work on each other's business, which is huge because it's like you get to meet all these amazing people at that same level or trying to get to that level and you kind of bounce ideas off each other. And you only have to pay that one stage or that two stage. If you want to go to the second stage, we'll give you a lead generation program. Some people want to go that route because they want the leads as well and we fast-track them in ninty days. But you get all the coaching, all the training, everything you need to be successful, we take you there and you only pay the twelve five, or twenty five depending on if you want to go to stage one and stage two, and you never have to pay again. And why I say that is, even though it's performance based, you hit certain milestones, we guarantee results. It's at your disposal. So there's a trust issue here. So guess what, the risk is not on the client anymore. It's on us. That's why it's called risk reversal. We are betting that your program that we help you create is a high ticket program that will warrant people to want to come in and do business with you. And we actually validate with you. We create the scripts. We do all the emails for you. We have all the software. I mean, it's a one-stop done for you, done with you program. And so if somebody is an author or they want to be an author, this is the most amazing program because it's plug and play, it's turnkey. And you don't have to worry about trying to market your book. Listen, I'm an author. I've won awards with my book? And I didn't know how to get it out there. See, everyone thinks writing the book is the hardest part. That's the easy thing. Getting it out there for people to really get that book and have the authority that you want with it is that's the challenge. And I paid a lot of money to do that in the past. If I knew about this, let me tell you, I would have been a client a long time ago. I didn't know about it. So it's just an amazing program. And it just, it just ties in all the, all the experience and background that I've ever had with creating people's IP. It just lines up perfectly with this company. So when they heard what I was doing, they said, "Hey, let's be partners". And it was literally a two-meeting process of like, "Hey, let's just do this thing together", and I said, "great". So we're just we're helping people get out there. We're helping them build out their program. And here's the really cool thing, Brian, I wanted to say. Some people are like maybe, or like, well, I don't know if I have the chaps to do it, or I don't know if I have the confidence to do it because of that imposter syndrome. And we have to break that off right away, because first of all, that's a big fat lie that you're believing in. I just say that it just needs to go and you just need to start declaring of yourself that you are a victor and you already have victory and your life is already set before you. You just need to walk by faith into it. And you have these amazing gifts that people are called to. And so I believe every single person, every single person has certain gifts in them that is a part of somebody else's destiny going forward. Every single person. So if you realize you are carrying what somebody else needs it's a whole different mindset, a whole different perspective. And so every morning I wake up and I say, God, bring those people in the north, the south, east and west that need what I carry so that I can help them get to their destiny. And those people that have what I need, bring them so that I can so I can align with the right people. Because that's really important. I have so many gifts, but I don't have everything. Believe me, I'm not the most organized, detailed person, but I'm a visionary. And I can see where you need to go. I can see that aerial view and I know how to pull your creativity out, your innovation out. I know how to build those high ticket programs. I know how to find that right audience for you. I can do that really, really, really well. But what I don't really do well is organization. I'm a very high energy. I guess you call myself an I like in DISK, I'm a high I. And I just love creativity. I love innovation. I love strategy. I love just getting down and dirty and say, OK, let's pull out your brilliance. Let's look at oh, maybe we can license this for you or maybe we could take this to this market. It's just so cool when you start to dig and you start to see the gold come out of people, man, it's just awesome. I call myself a gold digger. And one of my favorite shows my husband I watch every Friday, it's like our date night, is Gold Rush. I love Gold Rush. And they're always looking for that good dirt, that pay, that's going to bring the gold. Well I'm looking for people's pay. I'm looking for that good stuff to pull out your gold. And I'm telling you, I don't know how to do it myself. It's hard for me to pull my own gold out, you know, so I need somebody else to help me pull my gold out. So I have coaches, I've mentors. It's important to do that. And my business partners are my mentors as well. And Brian, you're a mentor. So I gleam from those people. I take nuggets from each one of them and I apply it to myself because I know where I need to really grow and mature. Sometimes I don't want to do it because it's not fun, but I know I have to do it or I have to find somebody who can do it for me as delegation. And that's part of the leadership we were just talking about. So, I know, I talk a lot and I talk fast in very short times.

Brian Kelly:
That's part two of, that's like, show number two is done. We've had that much or more high value and quality is where I'm going with that, not because she talks fast.

Nina Venturella:
Well, I do talk fast.

Brian Kelly:
I don't have a problem with that at all. I mean, that means you're an efficient person. You get a lot of stuff done quick. I love efficient people. I don't just like non-efficient people, just for the record. But there were so many things, I just want to give the bottom line to people just so they kind of encapsulate this in the brain. If someone were to hand you one million dollars, would you be OK with giving them back two hundred and fifty thousand? Would you be OK with having seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars with very little risk, in fact near zero? And the reason I know that, I am actually a client. I am in this process of going through this. It is amazing. And let's say, "look Nina, look Brian, I don't have twelve five, I don't have twenty five thousand to put in this business". Well, it is possible for you to get started without any of your own money. How do I know that, I'm doing that. I'm in the process of doing that this very moment and I already know it's going to work. It's it's amazing. And then there are other things put in place, you know, guaranteed so many sales within your first month. And by the time you make those sales, you've paid off whatever you just invested. It's already you're already at breaking, you've broken even.

And then when it's time for the next staggered payment, I don't remember when it is or how much it is. I don't care. I can't wait to pay you guys. You know why? Because when I get to that point, I will have made more than I owe you. I will have profit. I can't wait to get to that point, to pay you. I will gladly pay you. And then when we get to the end. Oh, I will be so happy to sign up the remainder of that two hundred and fifty thousand. I will do it. I'll be jumping backflips of joy. I'll never be so happy to write a check in my life because that means I made it to a million in this one program. And Nina, I don't know if you did the whole thing justice on other parts because you are not doing this alone, are you? You have an incredible, massive team behind you and they all have incredible gifts. I mean, there are writers that are helping to write the book. It's amazing they're doing all this work, a lot of it for you. But check. Tell me if I'm right or wrong, but you guys do check in now and then to make sure everybody's cool with what's being said, it's written in their voice, stuff like that. So it's not just a ghostwriter that is from the Philippines who doesn't know English that well. I don't mean it that way. It's just you know what I'm saying? That it comes with your voice when you're when it's all said and done, you have right of refusal.

Nina Venturella:
It's a transcript. It's your actual voice, and we do the transcript and then we kind of fine-tune and edit it and all that. Yeah. So it's your heart.

Brian Kelly:
Yeah. So they basically interview you and take that information and put it down in book form and it's just, it's genius. And then the book itself.

Nina Venturella:
And then we have the philanthropy piece. Don't forget that.

Brian Kelly:
Oh that's right. Yeah, it just keeps getting better. It just keeps getting better. And I've heard it stated many times, I was one that uttered the same thing. This is a no-brainer. And this is not a show to sell you on this. In my opinion, it will sell itself. I've told two people about it so far, and I actually opened with how much it's going to cost. Who does that? Nobody, because I knew that by the time I got through telling them about it, they were just going to go, wow, this is incredible. And I'm not doing this for any purpose. I'm not doing this to make money for myself. I just want to help Nina grow her business so she can help more people like me, because that's what it's all about. It's about service and helping people. What better way to do that than build up someone who's doing such a masterful job of doing that?

Nina Venturella:
And I was just saying the same thing to Brian. I'm like, Brian you know, I don't really want this to be the Nina show. I want to talk about you, and what you're doing, because it is about helping people and getting behind them and supporting them. And I think right now, so many people are just feeling hopeless and they're not sure where to go. And I just I want people to have that place of just where they know that they know that they know that they can do what they're called to do. They can dream again, they can think big. They can play in the big sandbox. They can play big. And this is not something that's impossible. And, you know, it's this formula that Tom and David, they created and they're my business partners and they are doing it really well and they're crushing it. And I'm privileged, and honored, and humbled, humbled that I'm a part of this whole program as a partner. It's just it blows my mind every single day. I'm just I love what I do. I'm passionate about what I do. And I love to be able to get behind people, support them and see them grow and blossom into who they're called to be, because we're all called for greatness. And a lot of people just don't get to that point. And I want everybody to get to that point. I know not everybody's going to, but the people that I help are definitely going to. That's my goal. I want them to greatness. I want them to get to their goals, achieve their dreams and get that financial freedom. And we should all be taking time off. We should all be taking time off and have enough financial freedom so we can take a trip and not have to be attached to the phone worrying about our businesses. And that's what we can do with this program. Is help them get to that freedom and financial freedom and really enjoy life and give back. And so I want to talk about the give back thing, because I believe every single one of us has some kind of a why or some kind of a heart mission field. And that's one of the things that we offer. We do a philanthropy piece with you where we either give to a nonprofit or create a nonprofit for you from scratch. We do a Kickstarter program. We help you raise the funds. I mean, we do everything for you. And then we do the paid traffic for you to help you build on that, the foundation piece for the fundraising. So we are a one-stop done for you, done with your program, like I said. And I don't, again, I'm not here to pitch. This is not what it's about. I will tell you one thing and I'm going to give you a really big nugget right now. Where most coaches get stuck, and authors, is they have all this content everywhere. They've learned, they've read, they've done course after course, certification after certification. It's all over the place and it's all over. It's very overwhelming. And and to be able to streamline that has been a difficult thing. And one of the things that I do, I'm going to give you a really good technique and how to do that. I can streamline really, really well and put you in one lane. And here's how you do it. Are you ready? Take notes.

Brian Kelly:
I'm ready.

Nina Venturella:
All right, so I love football. I'm a Green Bay Packers fan. I'm from Chicago originally. So should we say I'm a Bears fan, but I'm not. And one of the things that I learned is watching is you have a coach and that coach has this big playbook, right? And so what they do is they have all their plays in that playbook. And I thought, gosh, you know, we need to do that with our coaches. So I created something called a playbook. And it's called a multiphase playbook. You guys can do this right now, take everything you've ever done and start to put it into this playbook. And grade it as stage one or phase one. What would you do for your client and stage one? And how do you, how would you scale that? What's the value you add, and then how do you scale that? And go to phase one, phase two, phase three, phase four, phase five. Look at your audience. Make sure your outcome aligns with your audience. Make sure that your offer, your high ticket offer if you're going to work with us. It's a high ticket, ten thousand twenty-five thousand, one hundred thousand dollar offer, aligns with your audience. If you're a life coach, you're thinking well my moms and dads can't afford that. But no, but business entrepreneurs can. So how do we take that and shape it to what you're doing. Even if it's trauma, or wellness, or health, or weight loss. Whatever it looks like. How do you benefit an entrepreneur? Well, guess what? They're overweight. They're overstressed. And they, and if they're more healthy and they have less stress, they're going to be more profitable. They're going to have better productivity. They're going to be happier, they're going to be healthier. They're going to be better leaders. There are ways to create high ticket programs, even if you think, "Oh, there's no way I could do this", you can do that. It's just you've got to think outside the box. You've got to be able to not be so hung up on the nine ninety-seven program. And say, "You know what, I can create value or I have the opportunity to create more value, and I want to see what that looks like". And that's what we come in and say, hey, do this. But if you're going to do this on your own, I'm telling you, create a playbook, put a name to it and do it a multiphase. And then figure out what that looks like working with your client from day one, phase one. What does that, and then scale it. How do you scale that? Is it PDFs, is it videos? Maybe you do an assessment tool. Where do they start with you and then go to phase two. Now you've got the assessment, you know, whether. It's like the diagnosis now you got the treatment plan. What do we do? How do we move forward to help them achieve that, depending on what it is? And you can have five stages. You can have four stages. It doesn't really matter. But basically, you have that playbook. You have the aerial view and then everything is organized. And then you take your stuff that you've learned, your books you've read and pull them into those phases and you start to build your IP. That's your IP guys. That's your own genius. That's how you start to build your own program. That alone is worth a lot of money. Let me tell you what I just told you. Now, I do that with my clients. My authors and my coaches, but I just gave you a great nugget, like if you can get aboard on this and figure that out, that's how you pull everything together. I don't care if it was books. Take some summaries of books and put it into that phase. How do I pull that into that phase? That's how you do it.

Brian Kelly:
And so you've got two choices, the way I look at it, and I'm talking to the audience. One is do it yourself and figure it out as you go along. And now you have the basic foundation to do that. Nina just gave it to you. Or you can do option number two or door number two where when you open it, you have this team stand behind the door that's doing everything for you and with you. You know, you get to authorize each step. I assume that's how it works. I'm not even that far down the path. But it's your business when it comes down and they care about you. This is to help you, to make your brilliancece shine and to serve more people and make enough money where you can serve even more beyond that. Because, look, once you've made that first million, there's a little birdie told me it doesn't have to stop there.

Nina Venturella:
No, we go to an additional million every single year. So we put that plan into action. It's pretty amazing. I mean, it really is a really cool system.

And I've been in this genre for a long time. I've been to, oh, my gosh, Nina, how many? Workshops, boot-camps, seminars. Who remembers this guy named Mr. T, you know, bad attitude on the A-Team. Yes, Rocky. But when he was out in public, he would wear just mounds of gold chains. I don't know how he stood up. That's heavy stuff. Well, I went to so many of these networking events and boot camps and seminars I used to save for those that would let me take them out of the room. I would say those lanyards with the badges on them, that that was your ticket in and out. And I accumulated so many. I did this from stage. I would have one of the people that are helping me out bring them up on stage. And I was teaching about just showing up. And I had a picture of Mr. T up on the screen with all the chains. And then I would put these on and they were thick because there were so many of them. And I said, "You see, I put even Mr. T to shame." Because it's just about showing up. And I love Mr. T he's a great guy. It had nothing to do with putting him down at all. He's a phenomenal gentalman. But it was amazing that it's like just show up. And then you and I met at one of these. It was an event during covid not long ago. And I've been to so many of these in person. And it's very difficult to pull off a successful one online where you have multiple speakers and or multiple segments, even pauses and breaks, and people still come back. Do breakout rooms like virtually. And, wow, I was absolutely blown away. It was the most genius system I've ever seen. Whether in person or online, this was the best one I've ever been to, bar none. And the reason is because of the results. And that's what I want everyone to take home with them, is think about the results. If you focus on the result, then you're going to get what you focus on. If you focus on junk. We used to say if you focus on crap, you're going to get more and more crap. If you focus on success. Yes, I'm pointing there for a reason. Then you're going to get more and more success. So just. Yeah, and that's a mindset thing. And just focus on success. And this is a no-brainer in so many ways. I'm like, it's one of those things like, oh my God, where have you been all my life?

Nina Venturella:
Like I said, I wish I knew about this program years ago because I wrote my book in 2014. I didn't know about this program. I would have definitely done this program. I know I'd be a lot further with my book, but it is what it is.

Brian Kelly:
It's so unique in so many ways. And so at the end of this thing. When I talk about results I had, and you probably had more, Nina, because you're such a flower, everybody wants, everybody gravitates towards you. I had six appointments of attendees at the end of this. It was on purpose. This was by design. That's what Tom Madsen and his crew wanted. And one of those appointments was with, you know who. And that was the beginning of what's going to be a very long-lived, very fruitful relationship and friendship. And it's going to be phenomenal. And this is the person she has partnered with. And I'm so excited. I happened to just get on this thing. He just sent out an email, this is so funny Nina. He sent out this email after that whole event was done. And I'm like, man, I want to hear more from Tom. And I fired up and I bring it up. I'm like, hey, Nina's with him. This is awesome. And so I watched it to the end. It happened to be the Million Dollar Book Program, book launch program. And I said, where do I sign? I've heard this twice now. I've got to do this, that's it, I'm done, no more. And you said about getting excited. Holy. I have not been this excited about the future, and I'm always excited. I'm always upbeat. But I am now over the top, over the moon. I cannot wait for the rubber to hit the road. Do we start rocking and rolling and stage one? It's right around the corner and it's going to be a great ride. I'm so, so thankful that you are the one that I get to work with on this end.

Nina Venturella:
Same here with you, you know, you said something that just hit me and I don't know how many people actually really are at this point excited about the future. You know, I really would love to take a poll and see how many people are actually excited about the future, because if you look if you're listening to the news or listening to the media, at any point, you're going to lose a lot of hope. But I mean, I think it's really interesting that you said that because I think I'm more excited about my future than I ever have been in my entire life. And I've had a lot of success in life and I've had a lot of failure in life. But I can see for the first time, I can see the end from the beginning. And I don't know if you understood what I'm talking about, but for the first time in my life, I started doing a vision board and I started writing out my goals and dreams. And I have been I put it in front of me every single day and I'm actually seeing these things manifest. And it's and again, I give God the glory. So I'm not saying it's the universe or anything like that. God is the God of the universe. I'm going to tell you that right now. But it's not because I'm the law of attraction. I don't believe in any of that. I'm telling you there's something about declaring, decreeing, keeping your eyes and having a faith that that's going to take place. I believe it's already done. I'm just walking in it by faith. And so I have such excitement every single day waking up, because, first of all, I know where I'm going for the first time in my life. It's horrible not knowing where you're going. It's horrible not having an end from the beginning, or a destination and having no hope. And so if I could bring an end. If I can show people a destination. If I can give them a purpose. If I can help them get their passion back. If I can help support them in any way, that to me, I know I've done what I'm supposed to do. I believe I'm called on this earth to help other people get their dreams and desires out there. I believe that. I had to go through it myself to learn it, but then I'm behind the scenes now. I'm helping other people go there. And I did it for myself for so many years and I'm having way more fun doing it for other people. And it's such a different place to be when you're not in the forefront all the time and you're not trying to get yourself out there and trying to help other people. I mean, it's the most humbling, gratifying place to be. I love it with all my heart. I truly love what I do. It's not work. I work morning, noon and night. I started I started my day at four o'clock this morning and I've been on calls ever sense. I'm in California, so of course, I have East Coast clients and I have clients around the country right now. So I just love it and I'm home. And if I want to take a little break, I can go take a bike ride or spend some time with my family. It's just it's just it's just the best. It really is. And I want people to feel this. I want people to have this feeling.

Brian Kelly:
I'm feeling it. And not just because of having this now new relationship with you and us being working together and all that. I feel it. And I felt it before we met as well, the excitement getting up. You know, I'm fifty-six, but I think about I have the best part of my life ahead of me still. I'm so excited for what lies ahead. I'm not looking toward that day when you retire. I don't even know what that word means, you'll never find it in the Bible by the way.

Nina Venturella:
No, it's just next chapter. It's a new chapter, a new season. That's what you call it.

Brian Kelly:
Yeah, it's just a transition from serving one group or person to another. The interesting thing was when you talked about how you're so happy and you talked about serving others and I've done one hundred and thirty six hundred thirty seven shows of this show by now. And to a person, every entrepreneur is wired the same way once they have met a certain point in their walk. And that is when every one of us starts out as a solopreneur, most that I've ever met. And there is scarcity involved during that time. And we're just I'm just being honest. And so you are thinking about how am I going to make that next paycheck so I can keep going and growing and pay the mortgage and everything else that goes with it. And then when you get an established rhythm and you finally have navigated the waters of your journey and now you're you're seeing the promised land and you're making headway. Now you can relax more on the money issue and think about what am I really here to do? What really moves my needle? And this is to a person, Nina. It is helping other people. That's what I love about what I get to do. This show is just brought the most amazing people. And you are no different. You are like up there on the top of the echelon.

Nina Venturella:
So are you. I appreciate it. Thank you.

Brian Kelly:
It's amazing. It's just, I feel like, have you ever gone to those events and you walk in a sea of other entrepreneurs and you just have this feeling like you're amongst family?

Nina Venturella:
Your people, your peeps. Yea, it's your tribe. Yeah, I agree with you on that. And I am meeting a lot of my tribe it's really exciting. I also just want to share one more thing. It's really important, everyone, that you keep moving forward. You know, I went through a lot of heartache in my business when I first started my business in 2006, when I opened up my wellness centers. I will tell you this, I have learned the hard way, really. I've lost everything. I went to the point where I went through five lawsuits. I had embezzlement, theft, judgments. I had people lying about me. I had people trying to steal clients from me. It was horrible. It was intense stuff. It was like it was like being beaten up. And then as soon as you get up, get beaten up again and come down and come beat up again. It was like that for three years. And it's humbled me. It's grown me. It's built character in me. There's so many blessings out of it that came out from it. I would never, ever not go through it again. I have no regrets. But I'm saying this because as we're trekking, as we're going through that journey as we're climbing that mountain top. There's going to be some hills, there's going to be some rocky roads, and there's going to be some areas where you might just kind of lose your balance. But I'm going to tell you something. You just keep moving forward one step at a time, one day at a time, and you will get to the top of the mountain. I promise you that. You might slip down a little bit, but you got to keep get back up and keep going. Because if you do that and you, remember, I want you to see the destination it is so important. I come from the top of the mountain. I look from the top of the mountain down. I'm not looking from the mountain up. I'm going from top to down. It's a perspective thing. And if you can do that, I'm telling you your life will change, and start realizing what your speaking. It Is so important. I'm actually doing a, starting next week. I'm doing a TV show that's going to be airing on cable Spectrum, and local TV in California, and Roku and all those other channels. And I'm talking it's called A Way With Words. And I want you to understand what you are speaking, there's power in your tongue, and what you're speaking, you're declaring over yourself or your family or your marriage. I have people that are saying, oh, my husband is this, this and this. And I'm like, "You know what? Shut your mouth. Stop saying that because you're telling your husband that's who he is and that's what's happening. He's manifesting that right. So you need to say my husband's this, my husband's that". My entire marriage changed when I started speaking my word, the words and changing my words. My business, my finances started changing when I started speaking. There's no lack, nothing this and nothing needed, nothing wanted, nothing broken. I have all I need at all times for all things and all ways. And I'm telling you, I do that every single day. Whether my circumstances look like it or not. I'm standing on that word, standing on where I'm going. And I'm not moving. I'm not going to be shaken from where I'm going. And it's important that you have that mindset. It really is. It really is. And I'm not just huffing and puffing the stuff. I live it. I breathe it. I eat it every single day. Now, yes, God is my number one source. I believe he is my resource. But at the same time, I have to come in alignment, in agreement with what he's, what I'm seeing and what I'm saying. And I have to have a faith that I'm going to get there. And I do have that faith.

Brian Kelly:
And the first word of this show is the most powerful by far, mind. Its mindset and what you say is coming out of your mind, and it's about an empowering mindset. Once I learned that concept. I learned it from my mentor. And I'm going to say his name because I love him dearly. Mel Cutler. Years ago, I went through a process of becoming certified in neuro-linguistic programming. And at that time, Nina, I was one of those like, "You cannot take my faith. Get away from me, you crazy woo wacko science stuff that's going to mess with my brain". And then I learned it at a deep level. I became certified. You cannot change someone's faith. It's a long story. But the army and the military have tried. They tried to do mind control and they weren't successful. Unless you are already if you already have the attributes to be a mass killer. If you weren't that, then you're not going to become one and you're not going to look away from your faith, it won't happen. And once I learn, though, the sheer power of mindset and concepts like you're talking about and then very, very deep. One real quick exercise everyone can do starting now. If you ever catch yourself saying, I have to. I have to do the dishes, I have to vacuum the rug, I have to go make the bed, just change. Just be aware, number one, that you realize you said I have to. And then, number two, just reframe it and say, I get to. And you'll be amazed, that you get that intellectually right now. But what really gets it is your subconscious. It's like, "oh, I get to", and you just rewired your brain in such a beautiful way. And when you do that on a habitual basis to this day, every day I catch myself saying I have to. Internally or externally, I get to I don't care how bad it is, how arduous it is, I get to. I have to do the dishes. I get to do the dishes. Well, at least I have dishes to do. And if I have dishes to do, that implies I have a sink. If I have a sink that implies I have a kitchen.

Nina Venturella:
Exactly!

Brian Kelly:
If I have a kitchen, that implies I have a home or someplace to live and it just goes on.You don't need to actually think every one of those things through your subconscious will take care of that. And you'll just start realizing and noticing that everything is starting to lighten up in life and you're happier. And when you're happier and living that way than those around you are going to notice. Whether they notice outwardly or they just sense it kind of like a dog sensing fear, but this one in a good way. And then they just start changing like there's something changing about you, I like it. And it happened, It happened to me. I'm saying this from absolute experience. It's yeah. It's just it's a game-changer. So just that one little, could you imagine now, compounding that? Like you're saying, stacking, doing one step at a time. Like I would say, putting pebbles on top of each other, keep stacking up, you will get there. And mindset is one of the key components of getting there quicker, quicker. So you get out of your own way, self-sabotage, resistance, hesitation, all that. Clean out that beautiful garden of yours, of those weeds. Put in those beautiful flowers and just have a great, great life. It's amazing.

Nina Venturella:
Absolutely. Jeez, time went fast.

Brian Kelly:
I know, I'm looking at it too.

Nina Venturella:
Oh man, how fun.

Brian Kelly:
Karen Duncum, she's going to be on the show here soon. What am I really here to do is a game changer question for us. Why I'm alive is another right? Oh. What I'm really here to do is a game changer and why am I alive is yet another. I think they're kind of related. How would you respond to that, Nina?

Nina Venturella:
Well, like I said, we all have gifts inside of us. We all have other people's values that we can create for other people and help them get where they need to go. I believe that we all have a purpose. We all have a journey. And I believe that we are all here. There's no accident why we're here. We're here for a purpose and a reason. And I believe that we're all predestined and predetermined before we're even in our mother's womb and that there has been a plan that's laid out for us. And God is the one that's laid that plan out. And if you align with that plan by faith, you will start to see those things manifest. So it's already established. What I will tell you is this. If you live in a place of trying to control everything, you're going to have a hard time in life because things just don't go the way you want them to go. You know, there's that saying, if you make a plan, God's sitting there laughing. You don't make a plan. You just you have to align with where you feel your gifts are. You know, what your gifts are. Most people do know what they're gifted at. Whether you realize is a gift or not, you're good at, people have told you, oh, you're good at this or you're good at this. Maybe you're a great mom. Maybe you're great, I don't, attorney, something. You're good at something. So take those gifts and see how you can apply them and create value for other people. That's how you make money. That's how you monetize. That's how you because what you're doing is now you're saying I have something of service. I have something of value, and you want to, and if I have value for you, you're going to give you something called a certificate of appreciation. That certificate of appreciation is actually a monetary form of finances. So I tell people to look at this way. When you pay an electric bill or you pay any kind of a bill. Look at as gain not loss because you have electricity to pay. So it's a mindset and the way you see things. So as far as why you're here, I believe we're all here for a reason and a season. We're all here for a purpose. We all have amazing gifts. We all have value for other people. And if you're really stuck there, well, maybe you need prayer. Maybe you need to have someone listen to you and maybe, I don't know what that looks like, but, you're not alone. We've all felt that. I've had moments in my life. I've had some really deep, dark moments where I've actually thought about suicide, OK. So, I haven't always been this person. I had to grow into this person. It did not happen overnight. It was a journey, but I did get here eventually because I just never stopped. I kept my faith. I just, I've had a lot of challenges in life, but I just never stopped. And like I said, you don't you don't stop. You just keep going. I have a vision board that says never stop. Never stop, no matter how hard it gets, never stop, Just keep going. If you're here, you're here for a reason and you're here for a purpose. It's not an accident. You're listening to this. It's for a purpose.

Brian Kelly:
I can't agree more. Never, ever, ever, ever give up. We have a couple of comments from the past. Doctor Patrick Tracey says, how's the dishes? And then literacies. I'm in Dublin and listening to dishes. Brian, Brian, that's funny.

Nina Venturella:
Yeah, dishes aren't fun.

Brian Kelly:
And, yes, Karen, you're talking about the mindset of seeing the good. Absolutely. For sure. And with one last I mean, we do have a prize to give away. And a little birdie told me, I don't know if it's still true. Nina, you had something you were planning on providing for folks as well. We didn't actually talk about right before the show, so I don't want to shock you into it.

Nina Venturella:
Yeah, it's yeah. It's just basically a free strategy session with me.

Brian Kelly:
Ok, that's the one. We'll bring that up in just a second. But I want to close the mindset part out with this one thought for everyone, and then we'll get to the wonderful prizes to give away. So don't go anywhere. And oh, by the way, I got this great question that I'm going to be asking Nina to close the show. You do not want to miss it. Oh, it's a big one. It's a doozy. She doesn't even know about it. I love it. She didn't know about any of these. This was all organic. But here's the thing In life, you're going to be thrown curveballs all the time. You know, Nina, thank you for being so transparent, talking about the struggles you've had. Look, it's called being human, everyone. And those things are going to happen. Circumstances are going to happen no matter what, as long as you're alive. Those things we're talking about, those that aren't so great, those circumstances. So you can either let your circumstances control your attitude. Or you can let your attitude dictate your circumstances. So if you just, if it's raining, and it's all dreary. It's like, well, gosh, it's raining, and it's beautiful because, you know, now things are growing and they're vital. And I need to get up a little bit earlier. Wow I haven't done that in a long time, so I get a little more time to myself. And look, your attitude is everything. It's how you react. You all have a choice. We all have a choice. In any circumstance, you either react positively or negatively. Look, if something happens, you get rear ended. You're going to be upset for at least that long and maybe a little longer. But the key is, is recognizing it and rewiring the brain and saying, yeah, but you know what, I'm OK. My back doesn't hurt. If anyone's in the car, they're OK. Hopefully that's the case. You just take all the positives from it and then say, oh, I hope that person that just hit me, it was their fault, but that's OK, I'm going to go make sure they're OK. You know, things happen. I've made mistakes. Who am I to pass judgment on them? So you just change your attitude and, yes, that's fab, Brian. Yes, thank you, Karen. We all need to ask that question. I always get to it with my clients at some point, and that's fab. I love it. Fantastic. Thank you, Karen. And so, Nina, you are amazing. What we're going to do at this moment is, well, very soon I'm going to be asking that that question. It's like amazing. I've asked this of every guest that's been on the show. And it's interesting because sometimes it gets deep, sometimes it's personal. It's interesting. It can be a doozy. It's just pretty really cool, but before we do that, I promised everyone who stayed on with us live to the end how I would show them a way, how they can win a five nights stay at a five-star luxury resort, compliments of our friends at the big insider secrets. And I'm going to put it up on the screen right now. So you now have both Nina and my, what's the word, permission to take out your phone if you haven't been watching on your phone and bring up your messaging app, do that right now. And then you'll want to write this down because we don't have much time left and I want to respect everyone's time. Write this information down and here's how you enter. I'll put it up on a screen. Take out your messaging app, as I said earlier, and where you would put the name of the person you're going to text instead type in this number, it's 314-665-1767. Again, write this down, 314-665-1767. And then where you would type the message and where you put the emojis, that good stuff, instead type in two words separated by a dash. Those two words are peak, that's P-E-A-K dash vacation, no spaces peak-vacation. Go ahead and do that right now and then watch your phone. You'll get a subsequent message automatically sent to you for I think it's one more step to officially be entered and it ask for your email address so that our system can take over and put you into a random drawing. We give this away every single week. Thanks again to thebiginsidersecrets.com and Nina has a gift for you as well. So I'm going to put your website up there as a backdrop when you explain this beautiful, wonderful gift that you're giving folks. And let's see if I can get the right button. I think that's it. We'll find out real soon. Yes. All right.

Nina Venturella:
So I want to offer anybody who's interested to do a free strategy call, help them create their intellectual property, help them streamline whatever it is that they need, streamline or just pick my brain, whatever they need, help them create their blueprint, their big game book, their playbook. So if anbody wants to take me up on that. I'm more than welcome, you're more than welcome to do that. Normally that's like a twelve hundred dollar program and I'm doing that for free.

Brian Kelly:
Ladies and gentlemen. Twelve hundred dollars program, and I love how you just said that in passing like it's no big deal. It's Twelve hundred dollars. And the reason it is twelve hundred dollars is because she, Nina is about getting results for you and she'll do it until you get the results. That's the way she's wired. It's going to be success or it's not going to be anything is going to happen is going to work. And I appreciate that about you. There's so many things I appreciate about you, especially the patience of your husband who's waiting for you. Isn't the showdown yet? Come on, let's get out here.

Nina Venturella:
Actually, I have a Bible study I'm going to after this.

Brian Kelly:
Oh, fantastic. I don't want to keep you, so let's get to that phenomenal question. And I just wanted to preface it a little bit and tell you, Nina, that there is no such thing as a wrong answer to this question. It's impossible. In fact, the only correct answer is your answer. That's the only thing that makes it personal. And I just I'm so, I love the responses we've been getting on this. And I just want to know, Nina, are you ready?

Nina Venturella:
I'm ready. Let's do it.

Brian Kelly:
All right, Nina Venturella. How do you define success?

Nina Venturella:
Oh, my gosh, I knew you were going to say that. You know what? I don't definitely don't define it with finances. I define it with the people that I help. I define it with the testimonials that I get. I define it with the the tribe that I'm a part of. I define it with the people that I'm able to minister to as a pastor. I define it with the people that I'm able to help and increase, improve the life of value and gifts that God has given me to be able to help them get to that next level. That's success to me, seeing people succeed and reach their dreams.

Brian Kelly:
You've got to love that, and you've got to love Nina Venturella, don't you? Come on, virtual clap. A round of applause for everyone out there. Nina, thank you so very much for my gosh. You just raised the bar for the next speaker who's coming on and you just brought it so much. You give everything of yourself every time. I'm so, like I said earlier, so blessed to know you, so blessed to work with. I can't wait till you and I and your husband and my wife get to meet and break bread together and sit down and get to know each other deeper. That'll happen. It'll happen. Until that time, I just want to say thank you once again and thank you all who watched and those of you that listen on the podcast later. Until next time on behalf of this amazing woman, Nina Venturella, I'm your host, Brian Kelly of The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show.

Nina Venturella:
Thank you.

Brian Kelly:
We will see you all again next time. Until then, so long and be blessed all. Take care.

Narrator :
So, here's the big question. How are entrepreneurs like us, who have been hustling and struggling to make it to success, who seem to make it one step forward, only to fall two steps back. Who are dedicated, determined, and driven. How do we finally break through and win? That is the question, and this podcast will give you the answers. My name is Brian Kelly, and this is The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show.

Brian Kelly:
Hello, everyone, and welcome, welcome, welcome to The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. Super excited for tonight's show. We have not just one, not two, not three, but four, four amazing guest experts who are joining me tonight right here on this very stage.

Brian Kelly:
They are waiting in the wings at this moment. So let's get busy. Shall we? The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show, that is a show about what I call the three pillars of success, and that came about as a result of my study of only successful people in the last decade or so. And these patterns kept bubbling to the top and those patterns being mine, which is mindset set. Each and every successful person, to a person, had a very powerful and flexible mindset. So I learned that and said," I need to implement that". Then body: body is about literally taking care of yourself. Through nutrition and through exercise, exercising on a regular basis, and again that was another pattern of very successful people and in business. These successful people had mastered the skill-sets that were necessary to create, maintain, and grow a thriving business. They're wide and varied. It's like marketing, sales, team-building, systematizing. It goes on and on and on, leadership. There's no one person, in my humble opinion, that could master every single one of these. All you have to do is master just one, and I actually mentioned one of those. It was in that list. I don't know if anyone caught that, but if you master just one of those skill sets then you're good to go. That skill set is leadership. When you've mastered the skill set of leadership, you can then delegate those skills off to people who have those skill sets. See where I'm going? Good. That's what successful people do; the ones that I studied, anyway, over the course of about 10 years. That's what this show's about. It's a show for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs. I got four guests waiting, and I'm not going to wait any longer. So, I think we should just bring them on. What do you think? Let's do it.

Narrator :
It's time for the guest expert spotlight, savvy, skillful, professional and deft, trained, big league, qualified.

Brian Kelly:
And there they all are. These amazing, beautiful guests on The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. How are you all doing? Altogether, too. That was phenomenal, I love that. So real quick. All of you, I hope you don't mind for just a moment. I want to do some housekeeping? I wanted to mention to everyone watching here live. If you stay with us till the end, you can win a five night stay at a five star luxury resort. All compliments of our friends at The big insider secrets dotcom. You see them flying by on the bottom of the screen right now. It's an amazing, amazing vacation stay. Stay until the end, and you'll learn how you can enter to win that wonderful prize. We also have this. If you're struggling with putting on a live show, and it's overwhelming and you want a lot of the processes done for you while still enabling you to put on a high-quality show. And connect with great people like the ones we have tonight, and to grow your business all at the same time, then head on over to carpet bomb marketing dotcom. Carpet bomb marketing, saturate the marketplace with your message. One of the key components that is contained in the carpet bomb marketing courses, and this is one that you'll learn how to absolutely master, is the very service we use to stream our live shows right here on The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. Over the course of the past, now it's over nine years, we have tried many of these, "TV studio solutions" for live streaming. I'll tell you right now, Stream Yard is the best of the best. It combines supreme ease of use along with unmatched functionality. So, go ahead. You can start streaming high-quality, professional live shows for free. Yes, I said it. For free, with Stream Yard right now. Visit this website, and do this after the show over. Take notes while the show is going. So write this down R-Y-P dot I-M forward-slash stream live. R-Y-P dot I-M forward-slash stream live. Fantastic. Now let's get to the real fun, and the fun is these amazing people. Dylan, Julie, Tim, Christian. How are you all doing tonight? Thank you for being on this amazing show. Yes. So, what I'd like to do is open it up. Let the folks get to know you just a little bit now. Ok, guys. We're talking sixty seconds or less. All right. Just lay it low here, but we'll just go and order. I usually go ladies first, but let's just go around the circle. It's easier for me who's running the show. So. That's what's important. Right? So, let's start with Dylan Shinholser. Go ahead. Take it away. Give us a little brief background about you, what you do, and your business.

Dylan Shinholser:
Yeah, absolutely. So like I said, my name is Dylan Shinhoser. I own a couple of different businesses. I'm owner of a company called, "Experience Events", which is event management. I'm also a director of business development at a virtual event, event ticketing, and virtual event platform called, "ViewStub". As well as a co-host of another show called, "Event Masters", where I just ramble all day, every day about how to produce better experiences. It's really all I know and love to do is events. That is my less than 60-second pitch about myself.

Brian Kelly:
That's a good one, too. I'll tell everybody I've spoken with you in person. We had a call some time ago, and this gentleman, Dylan, is made of integrity and great character. So, reach out to him if you need any assistance in any of the areas he talked about, or if you just want to say hi to a really great guy. Then get in contact with him, and at the end of the show, we'll go through that. Please. Somebody remind me if I forget how to contact each of you. Because that's very important to me. This is the reason I bring this show to the forefront. (It) is to bring people like you into the lives of those who may not know who you are yet, and even those that do, to experience even more of your brilliance, your experience, your knowledge, and your value. It's not about me. This is about you. Always, always. Every time. I have one guest, usually. I just feel like I'm in this big family right now. But let's keep moving. Julie Riley, amazing young woman. Take it away.

Julie Riley:
Yes. So, I am Julie Riley. I am the social media manager at StreamYard. The platform we're using right now. Prior to my time with StreamYard, I owned my own marketing agency. I've been in digital marketing since two thousand and seven. So the very, very early days of the start of it is when I jumped in(to) digital marketing, and I love just being able to help others succeed in their business.

Brian Kelly:
Fantastic, and I will also say that I have spoken with Julie in the past. Both through a typewritten chat form and verbally. I think it was Clubhouse first time, which was phenomenal. Yet another phenomenal person, incredible integrity, and character. And yes, you're going to notice there's a pattern about this with the remaining two. It's the same thing. Hopefully, we can get the last one to talk a little bit. That will be nice. I'm just having fun because we were having fun before the show started. The one smiling. The biggest down there with the green hood; not pointing anyone out or anything. Thank you, Julie, for coming on. Yes. These people, Julie and Christian specifically, I know Christians coming up here in second. They're non-stop. They don't stop working. It's evident because of the very software research we're using right now. It's of grand quality for a reason. It's because of people like Julian Christian who keep everything rolling smoothly on the back end. Dylan's there nodding his head emphatically because he gets it. It's a lot of work, and they're doing it masterfully and we appreciate you. All right. Enough of the favoritism here that felt like favoritism. Julie's our favorite. Timothy McNeely! My buddy, my friend from just a little north of where I reside. I believe. If I remember.

Timothy McNeely:
Central California, baby. Bakersfield. Yeah, my name is Tim McNeely. Today, so many dentists and driven entrepreneurs are just not sure if they're getting advice that really makes a difference for them. They may have a financial adviser who is giving them some advice on their investment portfolio, but they're not really sure that they're on the right track to really maximize their net worth outside of their business. That's what I help them do. Maximize your net worth so that you can keep taking care of the people you love, support the causes you care about, really make that difference in the world, and build an amazing life of significance. I love doing streaming because I get to talk to some of the best of the best out there and share the knowledge with the beautiful entrepreneurial community.

Brian Kelly:
I'll tell you something on a personal note as well. Literally, we talked earlier today, Tim and I, on a Zoom call. He just reached out to me and said, "let's catch up." I had him on the show some time ago as a single, solo guest, and he was phenomenal. We've just kind of maintained a relationship, a friendship ever since. He just wanted to reach out and say, "Hi" and "What's up? What do you want to talk about?" We just started talking about business and things. He gave me resources that will help me in my business, and hopefully, I reciprocated it somehow. I don't know if I did, but it is the people like Tim, like Julie, like Dylan, like Christian. That is the cloth that they are all cut from. They are here to help people. That's why I love entrepreneurs. I love all of you. I mean it. I do. I love you. You guys are amazing. I didn't even get a crack at a Christian on that one. Jeez, I mean... there we go. That's a little better, but I'm telling you, he's working on StreamYard our stuff right now as we're on the show. I mean, I'm.

Christian Karasiewicz:
I'm really trying not to, seriously.

Brian Kelly:
The founder Geige Vandentop. If you ever watch this, there's a message to you. Ease up on your people. Alright? Just having fun. Alright, Timothy, you're an amazing guy. Thank you for spending your valuable time and coming on here. As well as Dylan, Julie, and the ever so talkative one, Christian. I'm not going to attempt to say your last name. I'll let you take care of that one. Welcome to the show, Christian. Let's hear all about your brilliance.

Christian Karasiewicz:
Sure. Thanks a lot for having me. My name is Christian Kerasiewicz. I'm the content marketing manager at StreamYard. So, pretty much anything you see on our blog that we're going to soon be launching. I'm the mastermind behind that. So, I do that. In addition to that, I also host live stream reviews, a YouTube show. We also do on the StreamYard YouTube channel where we invite people on to talk about their live streams and help them work through some of their problems, some of their challenges that they might be having with getting community or building a show. Thanks a lot for having me. I appreciate it.

Brian Kelly:
Oh, my gosh. Thank you again, Christian, for your time and being here. I mean, he's literally building a blog while on a live show. I mean, that's a great thing. I'm not even kidding with this one. That is phenomenal. That is showing such dedication. So, it's more than that. It's passion. It's love. You know? What time is that where you are, Christian?

Christian Karasiewicz:
About 9 o'clock, or yeah... about 9 o'clock.

Brian Kelly:
(Nine o'clock) PM. Ladies and gentlemen, in case you're watching this recording. Yes. By the way, I'm going to be on twenty-five different platforms after this is over. So no pressure, but don't mess up. I'm just kidding. So, this is a phenomenal group of people, and I can't wait to dig in. Christian, just what you just said, what you do is right down the alley of what I was hoping to talk about tonight. It'll go organically, but I wanted to talk about... I mean, look at Julie, and look at Christian, and look at their images. Look at their video. It is gorgeous. Here, we'll start with a really gorgeous one first. Look at that. I mean. If there were nose hairs that weren't in place, we'd see them. That's phenomenal, and there is Julie. Wow. Very beautiful. Even more beautiful. I should just have her up like this all the time, and we can just talk in the background. Because, you know, maybe more people would come on. So, you guys have phenomenal camera setups, and here's one thing I always like to preach to those who are getting into the live streaming game. Does it take money? Yes, it does. It takes resources. It takes cameras, microphones, (a) computer, internet, good internet, fast internet, lighting, doesn't have to be fancy. What I always say though, is, do the best you can with the resources you currently have. OK, I wanted to start it off that way because what we're about to talk about with Julie and Christian is their cameras. They are top of the line. We're not talking a one-hundred or two-hundred-dollar webcam here. I like to let ladies go first. So, Julie, do you have a story when you first turned on your new camera versus when you had the webcam and what that looked like and felt like.

Julie Riley:
Oh, my gosh, I turned that camera on, and it was immediately noticeable (the difference). I actually did a live on my personal Facebook page where I logged myself in as a second user into StreamYard. I had my Logitech camera that I had been using up as a camera and then had my new one. So, I could do back and forth and show everybody the difference between the two. What an upgrade that was. The Logitech served me great for years. It didn't stop me from going live, but that upgrade was immediately like, "oh, I can never go back down now".

Brian Kelly:
So, that so that is one thing. Let's say you're on the road, and I can imagine at some point both you and Christian, maybe, you'll be sent on the road to maybe support conventions and things that are on the road. Now, you want to stream live, what are you going to do then?

Julie Riley:
Well, you know, the great thing about the Sony is (that) it's a small camera. Tripods, portable ones, are small. I can take it with me. If all else fails, and I'm either on my phone or I'm on my little webcam or even my built in webcam, it's not going to stop me from going live. Is it going to be exactly what I want? No, but more than likely I'll have the Sony with me.

Brian Kelly:
Thank you for saying that. I mean, that spoke such volumes. I hope people are taking notes that are watching. Definitely take notes on this. Because, look, the show must go on. That's what I say, and this show tonight is the result of a guest who unfortunately was ill and could not make it on. So, I scrambled and found these four wonderful people to say, "I'll come on and do a panel with you." And that's it. The show must go on, and I'm going to either do it with people or I'll do it solo. It doesn't matter. Consistency is key, and we can talk more about that, too. I love how you're just talking about, Julie. Where, look, I don't care where I'm at. If I've got something and it's my time to go live, and I don't have my gear. I'm doing it.

Julie Riley:
Right.

Brian Kelly:
I love that commitment. So, thank you for that. For everyone listening, that's important. Yes, quality is important. Like I said, do the best you can with what resources you currently have. That includes, wherever you are. You may have a DSL camera that Julie paid five-hundred thousand dollars for. Oh, sorry, it wasnt that much.

Julie Riley:
Thank God it wasnt that much!

Brian Kelly:
What was the model of that again?

Julie Riley:
A6000.

Brian Kelly:
What does it run about?

Julie Riley:
It was about seven hundred.

Brian Kelly:
OK, not too bad. A little bit less than five-hundred thousand. Not much but yeah.

Julie Riley:
Yeah.

It's a phenomenal thing, and I love that that's your attitude toward commitment. I'll tell you. You have a similar attitude...anytime I go and ask for support through the back side of StreamYard community. I mean, like through messaging. When I say the backside, that's sounded weird. When I ask for support, you're always there. I mean, you don't sleep, and I appreciate that. So, keep not sleeping for everybody's sake. Christian, you do the same. So, Christian, what about you? When you made that initial change from whatever camera you had before to this unbelievably clear one year look you're working with right now. What did that feel like the moment you saw a difference?

Christian Karasiewicz:
So, it's very interesting actually. So, this is actually what I was using before. I've been using this for quite a number of years. This is a Logitech Brio. It does do 4K. I invested in this one and eventually came out, and the quality was fantastic. The only thing was, though. I wanted to scale. So this was great for traveling, for example. This is what I took around with me. Super portable. It's got the ability to put it on a tripod. Fantastic, but it did not allow me to scale, so I had to always take up another USB port and all that sort of thing. When I moved to the Sony, the Sony looked very good. I will say the one thing you have to do, though, is you need to go through the settings. There are a few adjustments you want to change. That's what's going to actually enhance your picture quality of it. It's a fantastic camera. It's a Sony 6400. Then, really, the other side to it is also the lens. So I'm using a Sigma lens. So, that I think is the real big difference. I mean you have the kit lenses it comes with. I did make the investment in the the additional lens, which I think that's actually what's contributing to why it looks so good. I will say from a quality standpoint, again, start with what you have. You know, the key things for live streaming. Audio is going to be your most important part. Then also, if you, for example, are using one of these webcams, make sure you have enough light. These things look great with a lot of light. When you don't have a lot of light, you're going to see pixelation. You're going to see distortion and things like that. So, turn it back to you.

Brian Kelly:
Especially with light, if you turn on the green screen feature, you really need to have good lighting then. That's the biggest time. I'm so glad to be liberated from that. Even though I loved it. This is actually a natural well behind me. I painted the entire studio. I actually occupy my daughter's former bedroom. I've been here for four or five years now, and I finally got rid of the cartoon drawings and the yellow paint. I'm a real boy now. I have a real studio. This is awesome.

Christian Karasiewicz:
That looks really good by the way. I was very surprised (by) your background because that looks like one of the standard backgrounds people would normally bring up during a live stream. One that has, you know, the gradient going around the outside. So, whoever did the painting on that fantastic job.

Brian Kelly:
Why, thank you very much. My wife did most of the work to be honest, but I feel like that helps with that. Yeah.

Timothy McNeely:
If you want that comparison between cameras. Right. Christine was just talking about the Logitech Brio. That's what I'm on, and you can see the massive quality difference between Kristen and Julie versus the webcam. So. Right. (A) huge step up.

Brian Kelly:
Yeah, we'll point that out in glowing detail right now.

Christian Karasiewicz:
You're using a green screen. Right?

Timothy McNeely:
Yeah.

Brian Kelly:
Your sound, Christian, is smooth. I mean, you have a great radio voice. Having that microphone, I think will pivot to that too. Dylan, what are your thoughts on cameras? Yours looks actually really decent right now? You're on (a) green screen, correct?

Dylan Shinholser:
Correct. Yeah.

Brian Kelly:
It looks really clean. You've done a good job with all the lighting. It's almost like you've done this before, and you know what you're doing.

Dylan Shinholser:
I try. Yeah. So, I actually when I first started doing it, I started listening back on my phone. When this whole pandemic hit, I was using the one inside your laptop and realized very quickly (that) I'm on calls all day, live streaming shows and stuff. I was like, "I got to set my game up." So, I haven't made that leap yet to the DSLR, but I will. I'm on a Logitech, one of the models. I won't even lie because I'm not that tech-savvy. It was expensive for Logitech, so I bought it. I was like, "it's got to work." So, yeah. So, that's where I'm at. I agree heavily. I think it comes down to, because we get asked it and I know you guys get asked, it comes down to what you can afford at the moment. Then always trying to push the limits of production value. Right? My background was a wall. It was just like random yellow wall, and now I have a giant green screen wallpaper now. So, now, I can be wherever I want which is a concert. That's where I want to be, and that's where I'm going to be.

Brian Kelly:
You're the one on the stage, brother. Not the audience.

Dylan Shinholser:
No, I'm actually the guy behind the stage. I never want to be this. It's actually weird for me to be in front of people. I'm the guy behind the stage telling people to get on the stage.

Brian Kelly:
Pushing them forward. Well, you do a good job, Dylan. I wouldn't know any different. Maybe your calling is to step out from behind and be on front more often.

Dylan Shinholser:
We will see. Twenty twenty-one has a lot of stuff, and I've got a long way to go. I got super bored in twenty-twenty so I might as well talk.

Brian Kelly:
I've gotten to know you a little bit over time, and you've got a great personality. I think you need to shine in front of more people. That's my humble opinion.

Dylan Shinholser:
I appreciate that.

In the front, not behind the scenes. It's okay to be behind the scenes on occasion, but someone like you with your personality and your integrity, your character...get out there, buddy. It's a disservice if we don't get to see you. Let me put it that way.

That's what a mentor of mine said. He was like, "dude, you're actually being selfish by not talking more and getting it out." Because like I said at the beginning, I only want to help more people create better experiences and events. Make them flow better and make them more money as humanly possible. At the end of the day, I just want to travel the world with cool people and do cool things. I've learned a lot, and a lot of people need some of that experience. So, I got a stern talking to by one of my mentors. He was like, "dude..." I was like, "alright, it's alright. I promise." I started live streaming then had to get better cameras, better lights going on. It's crazy up here in my little command center of all these different lights, webcams, and monitors. Everything you need to do to pull these shows off.

Brian Kelly:
Yeah, I love it. Christian, go ahead.

Christian Karasiewicz:
So, I want to throw something in there real quick. We talked about various types of cameras. If you're just getting started, use that built-in laptop, the webcam. So then you can take it up a notch. You can go to the Logitech. The C922. That's about, I think, a 60 to 70 dollar webcam. So, don't overpay by the way. It's about 60 to 70 dollars. Get it from Logitec, probably. If you find an astronomical price on Amazon, move up to like the Brio, for example. If your budget allows it, that's about one hundred fifty dollar camera. Then move up to a DSLR. For example, Julie's got that, the Sony 6000. I would also say if you happen to have a smartphone, this can be used as a webcam. Essentially, if you think about it, this is a thousand dollar camera. Because you paid a thousand dollars for this device of sorts, and this will give you some phenomenal picture quality. If you already have a smartphone and you don't have to have the latest iPhone, it could be pretty much any iPhone and Android phone. You just need an app such as one called,"Camo." There's one called,"Erion." So, there are lots of apps out there. Don't think like, "hey, I have to now go drop a bunch of money." Look at the phones you have lying around. Those are going to be great ways to fix your picture quality.

Julie Riley:
I've been going live since 2015, and I only had this camera last year.

Brian Kelly:
That's it. You keep reinvesting. I had a good friend of mine who were business partners. He said, I'll never forget it,"sales drive service". When you're making money, you're able to invest. You're able to up your game, and I love that. So many great points. You can just set a phone on a tripod and your camera will look better than many people's webcams. For sure. One of the things that I would recommend, this isn't just a plug StreamYard, is to get at least get the free plan. Do they need any more than the free plan to be part of the community, Julie?

Julie Riley:
No. They can come to join the community even if they're just getting started into streaming. We do like everybody to have the free plan so they have an understanding, but we'll still let you in. Agree to the rules. That's the big thing. Yeah, come join the StreamYard community. It's really a "stream yard" community.

Brian Kelly:
It's a very valuable place because questions like what Christian just addressed are often asked (What do I need?). I'm just starting. I'm a newbie. I see that so much in there. What can you do to help with a camera or microphone or computer? You can go there if you have those questions and ask, and the community will fill in the blanks wonderfully well because they're a great bunch of people. Just like Tim down there who's gotten pushed to the side for a while. So, Tim, is this your first camera that you've been using for live streaming so far? Did you have one before it?

Timothy McNeely:
Yeah, right. I started with just an HD one. Right. Logitech and then jumped up to the Brio. Been happy with that so far. But, you know, it's interesting how the game keeps growing again. That's the thing, right? Just get started! Just do this. I started with just using zoom and recording those for my interviews, and then I realized (that) I need a better platform. I need a way to kind of do that live production. Now I'm doing Stream Yard and got intros. Just get started with whatever you've got and kind of build that proof of concept. You know, I recently just upgraded my lights because I bought the cheapest lights I could at first. I just wanted to do something, and done is better than not done a lot of times.

Brian Kelly:
I totally agree with everything you just said and like what Christian was saying. If you're going to put money into anything, make it the audio side of things first when you upgrade. I was fortunate. I started over nine years ago streaming live. This is a DSLR. Not a DSLR. Good grief, XLR microphone. It's old school. It's not even USB. So I plug it into a mixer board, and from there into my computer. I've used it for years. It's been just amazing. I've never had to do anything with my sound as a result. For you, there are great USB alternatives now. Oh my gosh, there are so many out there. Someone like Christian could probably point you in the right way. Someone like the StreamYard community could push you in the right way and tell you,"these are the ones". I have a connection with the guy who is a sound expert. I've never heard of this before. He has a studio that does 4D sound. I don't even know what that means. Four dementional?

Christian Karasiewicz:
Sweet.

I don't know what that means, audibly. He was telling me about speakers in the ceiling. I'm like, holy moly,. You don't need that obviously for a talk show like this, but think about the possibilities and have fun with it. The bottom line is, when you go on and go live. Enjoy yourself. I'm trying to do that a little bit with these fine people tonight. Thankfully, they're still here with me. I haven't upset them too great, especially Christian. I keep picking on him. Poor guy. I appreciate you all, and it's okay to have fun on your show. Would you guys agree with that? Is it okay to have a little bit of fun?

Julie Riley:
One hundred percent. If you're having fun, your audience is going to be having fun with you.

If you're not having fun... I don't believe in doing anything that I don't find fun. It's a life motto of mine. If I don't want to do it, I don't want to do it. Yeah. Like you said, Julie. If you're not having fun with it, then how in the world do you expect the viewers to want to have fun or engage or interact? It starts with you.

Brian Kelly:
Absolutely, absolutely. One of the things I wanted to pivot to is something I'm deeply interested in because the product that came up earlier when I did the quick ads spot. I like to solve the pain points that people are having in their live streaming experiences. I'm curious. I'll bet, Julie and Christian, you guys have seen and heard a lot about that. I actually had a team member of mine from my company put a poll up in the form of a meme, a graphic. What's the right word? I am having trouble with words these days. It's an infograph. That's it. Simple. I was a little bit shocked by the result, but I was just curious what you guys think. What are the biggest pain points you're seeing? (Either) that you're having individually. Tim, if you have that as well. Dylan as well. Dylan, you probably hear about a bunch of it as well. What are the pain points you are seeing come back over and over and over again? I'm having a horrible time trying to find another guest on my show if they're interview style, or the tech is just blowing my mind. Even though StreamYard is so simple. I'm having trouble with x, y, z. Let's just go around the horn. Dylan, if you don't mind, I put you on the spot. Can you think of any of those pain points that keep coming up over and over again?

Dylan Shinholser:
Yeah, absolutely. The biggest thing I see is they underestimate what it does take. I totally agree. Why I promote StreamYard to our clients and everyone I possibly can is because of the ease of use. People go into it and think shows are just like setting up the webcam, and they can be. Setting up the webcam and just talking. Right? There's a lot of back end stuff to this. These shows and I'm learning that as doing my own now. I'm like, holy cow, I'm about to hire fifteen people because this is absurd. But, yeah. I think that's the biggest thing that I see is underestimating it, but also at the same time, they overcomplicate it. They have to think (that) they have to have all these bells and whistles and seventeen thousand cameras and two million dollar microphones. It goes back to our first point of "just do it". It doesn't need to be overcomplicated, but understand going into it, there is some work that takes and understand that you do have to respect what it takes to put these on. At the same time, don't overcomplicate it. It's funny how people work. They overestimate or underestimate it, but then heavily overcomplicate it at the same time. I think that's the biggest one I see.

Brian Kelly:
I'm so glad you brought that up. I've said this so many times, people don't realize what goes on behind the scenes before the show even comes on live for that episode. The amount of time and effort. If you want to do a live show that's of quality and represent yourself and your brand in a way that you want it to be represented professionally. It takes a good amount of work for every single show. That's why I automated nearly every process (that) I use now. It took time to get there, but you can use a team. You can get a team. Like you said, Dylan, to also help out. For me, it's all about quality, and more time is spent before the show by far than the show itself. After the show is over, another good deal of time is spent. That is in the minor edits, the repurposing, the marketing, and everything else that goes beyond. The live show is this tiny window of time, and it's the fun is part of it by the way. When you have everything automated, the rest is not "not fun" because you're not doing it. It's all automated, but definitely great. Thank you for that. Julie, what has been some of the big p.. sorry to wake you up there. What have been some of the big pain points? You are wide awake. I just starttled you. You've seen over and over, I bet you've seen a bunch of them.

Julie Riley:
Oh, my gosh. So many, you know, especially because I'm approving all of the comments that are coming into the group. I think one of the huge ones is that the hesitation of people who believe that they have to have everything perfect. That they have to have all of the backdrops, the overlays, the banners, the super expensive microphone, and the super expensive camera. That they have it. The room behind them is messy. They haven't thought about turning to just a blank wall because they're like, "well, then I don't have a fancy studio set up." They get to this point where they're trying to create perfection, and perfection is a fairy tale. It doesn't exist. There is no such thing as perfection. There is, again, where Dylan said the overcomplicating it. They've got to really just slow down and go, "what do I need to get this process going?" What is the minimum to make it happen? From there, then I can then build on it, and build on it each week. Go, "okay, I got live. I got the first one out. I got the jitters out. I hate the way I sound." When I had my agency, I would tell my clients. They'd be like, "I can't stand the way I sound." I'm like, nobody likes the way (that) they sound. There's actually, and I say this all the time, there's a term for it that is a term for not liking the sound of your own voice. I tell people, you have to get over that fear. They're like,"I don't look good on camera, I don't know how to be on camera." The other thing I tell people is to set up a fake Facebook group with nobody else in it but you. Go live in there a bunch of times and just get those jitters out. Get that feeling of pressing the button and going live. Then invite your husband in, your sister, your mother, or whoever. Somebody so that you're talking to somebody. From there, build up each time. As we said with the cameras, again, you can you can slowly build. You can slowly add in the overlays. You can slowly add in the backgrounds.

Brian Kelly:
My goodness! I absolutely love it. I have my own Facebook group that I use just for that. Nothing more. I go in there, and I test things for StreamYard and other things in there. I go live in there because there's no substitute for going live. We've got more buttons to click, and things kind of change their arrangement just a little bit in the window. If you practiced it 20 times without going live, then you go live you're going to go, "what the heck just happened?" I don't know what I'm supposed to do now. That was perfect. Perfect advice. I love that. We've got a comment coming in or two or three. Yeah. Kelly, crucial. Kruschel. Sorry if I got that wrong.

Dylan Shinholser:
Kelly Kruschel. It's Kruschel. She said she's on my team. She's a friend. Hey, we've got a supporter.

Brian Kelly:
Love it. Love it. Then Fran Jesse, I know her. I'm getting ready to make my first video essentially input. Yeah. Reach out, Fran. We're friends. I will give you assistance in any way you want because this is the greatest this is the greatest avenue for media on the planet, in my humble opinion, for so many reasons. One is people get to see you. I love clubhouse. It's also phenomenal in different ways, but people get to see you. They get to interact with you. They can engage with you, and they get to see your essence. It doesn't cost you, the studio owner, studio time. If you do this in the old days when you have to go to a television studio and you want to do a show, it would cost you thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars just to use the studio. Let alone get the media time to put it up on a television station. We're living in wonderful times. It's the greatest time to be alive, in my humble opinion. I'm a tech geek. I'm not young anymore. I'm fifty six, but I can't wait for the rest of what my life has to hold. Yes. You're welcome, Fran. Any time. Wonderful. Wonderful. Alright. Where were we? I got all messed up and loving myself there. We're going to have fun. I'm being real. This is like... I don't know. I'm the most relaxed (that) I've been in a long time with everything that went on today. It was one of those weird, everything-going crazy days. I feel like I'm at home with you guys. That's why.

Dylan Shinholser:
It's been one of those years.

Brian Kelly:
Thank God that last one is over.

Dylan Shinholser:
Yeah, yeah. Sure.

Brian Kelly:
So, okay. Pain point. Let's go back around one more. Tim, what do you have?

Timothy McNeely:
Yeah. When I first started doing this, my whole goal was to get out there and to talk to the different experts in the different areas of the challenges that my my clients face. I started off as an interview show and just using Zoom to record the video. Then all of a sudden I had the video. Now I had to put an intro in. I had to put an exit in. I had to extract the audio so I could do the podcast. My team members and myself were spinning our wheels. Just trying to really kind of create a workflow around the creation of this content so we could get the message out and help people with their challenges. For me, all of a sudden, the revelation was (that) I can do this live. I can have people type in (and) ask comments as I'm doing the show. Not only that, from start to finish, I can produce the whole thing going live. Right? You go live. You can play an intro now. You can throw in little commercial breaks. You can throw in the outro, and then it's done. Download the audio. You throw it up, and now you've got your podcast. You don't have to upload video to YouTube and Facebook and LinkedIn. It's done for you now, automatically. So really my biggest pain point was just the production side of things and putting everything together so that I could keep talking to people and doing the fun part. Right? I don't want to get caught up in all the details of making this. I want to talk to people, learn, and share that knowledge. Really, a lot of the pain point, just using StreamYard has really been absolved because it's a turn-key easy to use platform.

Brian Kelly:
Amen to all of that brother. Here's the key for everyone that's ever going to do a live show or has done one. The most important part is that you show up and you be the talent. That means you need to be dedicated mentally toward what the task is at hand. If I have too many things going on, like production-wise, which I used to when I didn't automate things. That's in the back of my mind. Did I dot every "i"? Did I cross every "t"? What's going to screw up on this show? Versus showing up fully for my guest. Being there for them. Getting out of myself and my own business and being present for the other person, that's what I'm about. Lifting up the other people, that's what my show's about. It's important to me.

Timothy McNeely:
Actually, if I can touch on that talent piece, Brian? I think he brought something up so important for everyone listening to this. If you're doing any kind of a show where you're interviewing people, chances are (that) the person you're talking to (is) a little bit uncomfortable. Your job, as the talent, is to spend some time before the show really crafting what it's going to look like. What direction are you going to go in? You want to make that person you're talking to look like a star. The more you can rehearse with them and put them at ease, you're going to end up with a much, much better show. Because you've taken a little bit of time to make sure that (the) other person is going to shine just as bright as you do. So, take that time to work with your guests beforehand through interview guides, through little questionnaires. So that you can help prep them, to keep them on a thread, and you can really help them deliver their message. Most people are not trained professional speakers. They just aren't. I've hired some of the best speaking coaches to help me develop messages, stay on topic, and learn how to tell stories. People don't invest time, energy, and effort to do that. You can help them do that through a briefing before you start your live with them.

Brian Kelly:
Yeah. That's why I was saying before, I do a thirty-minute preshow. All of us were on here for 30 minutes getting to know each other, making sure all the tech was good, doing some checkout. You were talking about people being nervous and stuff. That's why I'm riding Christian so hard with all these jokes and stuff because it broke his nervousness. You can see his sweating. I am so kidding. This guy's raw. He's a rock. He's awesome. He's a pro. I love this guy, man. I always pick on the quiet ones. I don't know why that is. Christian, man, you're bringing massive value. All kidding aside, you're very experienced. You're matched for what you do. You've said already so many amazing things. What about you, brother?

Christian Karasiewicz:
I'd say this. I think a couple of the pain points. I think one is people want to ask, "how do I get better at my live stream?" I think (that) the first thing is practice. To Julie's point, I think you mentioned having overlays, backgrounds, and all this other stuff. Look at it like this. You want to show your audience as well while you're helping them. You're doing this with them. You have everything at the same time, and you're trying to make everything perfect. Your audience is going to be like, "I'm not going to stick around this person because they've done such a good job already. I won't ever get to that point". They start having that self-doubt. The key thing is going to be practice. You don't have to have every single one of the overlays. Maybe start with the the intro or the thumbnail, and maybe you have an outro for example. (Those are) the first two things you do. As you build the show, then you can add segment graphics. You can add videos. So, you can scale it, but you don't have to have so much at one time because then it's just too overwhelming. That's point number one. Pain point number two is that people, for some reason, think that they're going to immediately be able to monetize their live stream. I say pain point because everybody's like, "oh, I bought all that equipment." Now, you've got to figure out how to pay for all that equipment, you know? If you're struggling already with your business and growing it, then you're not going to immediately monetize live stream. You have to have an audience. You know, you have to build that community. When you go live, they're tuning in because (of) the social platforms. They want to see that you're bringing viewers, they want to see engagement. So, point number two is monetizing your live stream. There are ways to do that, but don't always set out with monetization being number one. It could take a couple of years to monetize. So, get started. Build on it, then make those investments as your business is growing. Yes, mic drop. Yes.

Dylan Shinholser:
Do you have that mic? Just a mic drop? Because I might need to get one.

Brian Kelly:
It's actually super.

Dylan Shinholser:
Yeah, super real.

Christian Karasiewicz:
That's pretty cool, actually.

Julie Riley:
I like that.

Brian Kelly:
It's actually part of a magic trick that you put in a paper bag. It's a long story, but I found one more affordable that would not break my keyboard because that's what it landed on. You didn't hear it. Oh, my gosh. Golden nuggets there, as usual, from Christian who I give a lot of hard time to. I'm going to stop because you're amazing dude, and I don't want to get mad at me. I want you to be my friend. So many great things. So, you said two years. I was like, wow. I was watching an interview. How many of you have heard of Lewis Howes? Former professional football player and turned incredible entrepreneur. He's all over the place. He was being interviewed, and the guy interviewing him asked him a question. He said, "so, Lewis, if someone came to you, and they were talking about the fact they wanted to start a podcast. Now, we're talking just the audio version. That's what a podcast really is for everyone that may not know it's audio-only. Not video, even though they're going that way." He said, "well, here's what I'd tell them. First, you got to actually be consistent. Whenever you decide to do it, do it at that same day and that same time every week or multiple times a week. Whatever that happens to be. Number two, more importantly. You must commit yourself to doing that for at least, the magic number, two years. If they are not willing to do that, I would tell them, don't even get started." We didn't talk about monetization. None of that was discussed during this Q&A. That was telling. Who was I talking about this earlier with earlier today? It's not necessarily about monetizing. It's about building your platform, and I wanted to add to that. It took me in two years. I was just hitting that moment in time of my live show. That's when the momentum started. He was spot on, and so are you, Christian, about the two years. Then using a certain strategy (that) I use, I continually ask for referrals in a certain way. I eventually landed the one and only Les Brown. Some of you know who that is. Some of you don't. I've noticed some don't and Im like,"what rock are you living under?" He's amazing, and he's been on my show. Because of that, the two-year commitment is my point. Not talking about monetization. Then what I found after doing this for two years and striving for excellence all the time in every facet, I'm talking about the preshow communication with upcoming guests and the setup and the prep that they all go through and my system makes sure they do. The show itself and then after the show, all the post-production, everything that goes into it. Once you have that, people notice and my show, without my intending it to be, became an incredible, powerful lead magnet for my business. Focus, just as Christian was stating so properly, does definitely, positively impact your business. If you do it right. You do it high quality, and again, within reason within the resources you have. Go ahead, Christian.

Christian Karasiewicz:
I was going to say. That's another point that people look at, and they want to generate revenue off of it. That revenue may not be actual money upfront. It may end up being (help) (to) drive more leads to my website. It's not necessarily driving more people to my social channels. You're following is... It's OK. That's not going to necessarily grow your business because you had five more followers on Instagram or something like that. It's potentially getting them back to your website, which can be an opportunity for them to schedule a coaching call with you, maybe buy a product from you, learn from you for example. You're not going to get every single person to become a customer, but you're going to be able to use it to generate more leads.

Brian Kelly:
Totally, totally true.

Dylan Shinholser:
That's why I do it.

Brian Kelly:
You see on the top of this screen "streaming live on" and then five. We're doing it to eight right now or seven right now. "Listen-on" down below. On the bottom, there's actually twenty five of those like us could fit them all. Roku now was on Fire TV. Look, you're not making money from those, but here's what happened. How many of you have heard of Kevin Harrington? Shark Tank? Original Shark Tank? He has a partner named, "Seth Green", and they do a podcast together. They've been doing it for years now. They have five-hundred plus episodes. We got introduced, Seth and I. I met Kevin. We shared the stage once. I'm not name-dropping, but yes, I am. It was awesome, and it was fun. Seth reached out. We were connected by someone else. We were introduced, and Seth did his own homework. He came back, we literally talked on Zoom, and he says, "wow, I did some research. I looked you up and, my God, you're everywhere." I just wanted to say, "yeah, that's right." So, you want to get out there. That's why, shameless plug, I call it, "carpet bomb marketing". You saturate with everything you've got within reason. Right? If you can automate it, it can be near or completely free. So just do it. Why not add it to your arsenal? So, it works. Just be consistent to a minimum of two years. Get in touch with people like Julie, Christian, Tim, and Dylan. You might make that even quicker than two years. I'll direct you to the shortcuts that many of us did by trial and error.

Timothy McNeely:
Touching on the monetization piece, a good friend of mine runs one of the top coaching consultancies out there. Right. Very, very successful. Runs a great podcast, great show. I ask him one day. I said, "have you need any money doing your podcast?" He thought for a second. He says, "naw, I've actually lost money doing it. The relationships that I've made...I've made millions off (of) that." If you approach it from that standpoint... There's different goals, but I always approach, you know, what's the end result? What are you looking for out of your show? Why are you doing it? That's how you can measure the success of it. Is it helping you achieve whatever goals you set for yourself?

Brian Kelly:
Totally agree. It's very similar. Isn't it? To writing a book? I'm holding up another namedrop. Yes, it's very similar to writing your own book. Because a lot of people want to write a book and make a living off of the sales of the book. I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, most of the time it just doesn't happen that way. If anyone comes up to you and you're talking to them... During the course of conversation, maybe you ask them what they've been up to? Or, hey, I've authored a book. The moment they say that, in your eyes, do they not lift up in an influence in your mind? Right then and there? Instantly. It builds authority. That's exactly what this live show, and live shows like it, are doing. When you're giving evidence of it by spitting it out to all of these platforms, there's no way people can't find you and know that you're serious. You know, it's showing that you have a commitment level. It's showing that you have a quality level of professionalism. It's not about the show itself. It's like, well, if I do business with that person, or will I... Will I want to do business that person? If they're professional. Yes. If they put on a shoddy show, they might give me shoddy service. If I do business with them. Does that make sense? People want to (be) representing yourself in the best. Do it the best you can, but do it. Please, don't delay. Don't try to be perfect. You heard everybody talk. Go ahead, Dylan. You had something?

Dylan Shinholser:
Well, yeah. There's indirect ways to make money with shows, live streams, and of course direct (ways). Right. Direct is selling sponsorships, ad-space, all that good stuff. The indirect monetization is so much more powerful. When I do shows or when I hop on shows or anything, it's literally just to build a top-down awareness of myself. I just want people to know what Dylan Shinholser is. Then that way, because I do multiple things, I'm never trying to sell one product at any given time. I'm trying to sell myself, and what it does is it gives me that outlet to do it. Then if you're hosting a show. Right? This maybe goes into some other topics around how to market and things like that. It's a powerful relationship tool because when you can open your platform to other people that you're looking to connect with. I'm in the business of working with influencers and throwing their events. Well, the best way to connect was get them on my show. It gave me a reason to reach out that wasn't pitchy or sales. It was more or less. Hey, man, I just want to give you an outlet, because I think what you talk about is cool. Tell my people about it. After the show, I was like, "hey, man, what are you doing next Tuesday? I need a speaker." Or "hey, man. I have some ideas (that) I want to pitch you or (some) things. They're more receptive. So, I always do shows and things not about the direct money I get, but the indirect thing. It's the indirect impact that I get from relationships, or people sharing my stuff out and people go, oh man, he sounds semi-intelligent unless they're watching this. Then then they'll go, okay, great. Let me go over to this platform that he runs with this business that he does or whatever because he sounded halfway intelligent on that show. Right? So, I think the indirect monetization is what most people don't... They don't get that the instant gratification of like that five thousand dollars sponsorship check. When I forgo that and go on to bring on much more money on the backend with the people I connect with, in the top influence that I get.

Brian Kelly:
The magic word there was "relationship".

Dylan Shinholser:
Relationships all day, every day. That's all I do- is build relationships, and how can I do it? Do more shows like this. Can I get it out? You're on like forty-two different podcast or outlets here, right? Every one of those. Every time you put a show on it, you're building a relationship with someone on that platform. Even if it's just you talking, and they're listening. You're building that relationship. Everything (that) I do, is built on: how can I develop relationships? Live streams is just an amazing way to do so.

Brian Kelly:
Posting them is one thing. Right? That's a great thing. What I learned through a podcasting expert friend of mine is the maybe not as equally important, but possibly greater importance, is getting on other people's shows. That includes audio podcasts only. He explained how his business skyrocketed when he did what he called, "podcast guest marathons". He would have someone get him booked in his team. He would carve out three days and just say get as many as you can for me. He'd do that. Then when they ask him about how to get in contact with him... This is the gold right here... It's not go to my Facebook page and look up my name and message me. He would tell them to go to his podcast website and from there to subscribe. Now he's building a following. It's genius. It's so genius. I just want to impart that. The cool thing, though, is when you're hosting a high-quality live show that opens the door for you to be a guest on many more.

Dylan Shinholser:
Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Being a guest is what goes back to the authority building. Right? If I can build my authority, I build my influence. If I do have something to sell... If I'm trying to build my brand or whatever it is or I'm just trying to get to as many people as possible to talk about events with them... That authority I call it, "authority hacking", being able to get them on your show. That'll get your show in front of their audience, and then going on to other shows helps you develop your authority. It's like writing a book. I was I'm a guest on this show, this show, this show. It's like writing a book. Your authority starts to become a little bit more when you're leveraging their influence. Right? When you're a guest on the show, if that show has a following, you becoming a guest on that show gives you authority because now you have the validation of the host that everyone is following and love. So, I can authority hack by getting on other people's shows.

Brian Kelly:
It leverges. You have a whole new tribe watching and interacting with you as well. I mean, this is one of the most powerful things people can use. If they just get out of that rut of trying to find a way to make money with it directly, that's when they'll see the real value come through. It's about building relationships. It's long-term. Not short, quick kill. I got to make a commission and run. It's build a relationship. Establish it. If you go into this with the mindset of it not being for directly making money, I personally think you have greater success. The long-term plays always work better than the short-term. Short-term works can work, but they're temporary. The long-term is a lot more permanent and lasting. Just think of all the wonderful bread crumbs you're leaving throughout the world. Through all the venues and platforms we've been talking about. In speaking terms, if you're on stage, that's what we call a "stage swap". Where you would be a guest on someone else's stage in return for them saying, "okay, but I'm going to do the opposite." We'll have you on our as well. The same thing with podcasts and live video. It works really great. Just make sure they're a fit.

Dylan Shinholser:
They've got to fit. (It's) got to makes sense.

Brian Kelly:
Both ways. Yeah.

Christian Karasiewicz:
I want to add something real quick to that. If you are consistently going live, so it's great to be consistent, go live on a regular basis, but also think about the long game. It's a couple of years, for example. Also, don't be afraid to be making changes and adjustments as things are moving along. It's not about substituting equipment. It's about looking at your process. For example, you mentioned Brian, that you have automation on some of the things. Think of smarter ways to take bigger jumps ahead. If I have to send someone an email, and I'm like, "hey, do you want to be on my show?" Then I have to deal with the whole back and forth. Well, okay. Yeah. What time? Then I have to send everything back. There are tools out there like Calendly, Harmonizely. You can send a calendar link to somebody and they can only book a certain slot for example and vice versa. This takes out the guesswork out of having to do all that back and forth. That's a way to work smarter because now you want to book people for your show. You send them one link. The person then doesn't have to send you a message back, and you can even use it to collect feedback for your show questions. There's not a lot of back-and-forth and downtime.

Brian Kelly:
Yeah, absolutely. I do that as well, and it's a godsend. I could not do what I'm doing. I would not do what I'm doing without the automation part of it. I have an onboarding form. You guys all... Most, not all of you went through it, but that was a mini version. Julie, you went through the big version. I then changed it right after I saw that. Like you said, make adjustments. That's what I did. I'm constantly doing that. Improving. I have a document automatically generated in Google Docs with your bio. The answer you had to why you think you would bring value to the show. Also, all the questions you chose to be asked for the show. Some of you didn't see that. So everything's done. The Q&A part used to take hours and hours doing manually. Now I just give them thirty-eight questions. Choose ten, and we're good. You tick the box. You choose what I'm going to ask you. (I) just made it a system, and it has worked beautifully. I don't even use the ten questions hardly. I use maybe the first three. Then we go organically like we've been doing tonight. My God, it's six twenty-nine! Are you kidding me? I'm having too much fun. Real quick. I know everyone that came on in the beginning. You heard this thing about a prize. We're going to do that real quick, and we'll come back and wrap it up. For those of you watching, remember in the beginning I said, "take notes and don't go clicking away and stuff like that"? Now I think Dylan, Julie, Tim, and Christian will also give you permission to do what I'm saying, and that is take out your phone. Take your gaze away from us for just a moment, but you'll still have to look back. Yes, yes. You can do this too. Please, do. What I want you to do....

Dylan Shinholser:
I need a vacation.

This is how you can enter to win a five-night stay at a five-star luxury resort of your choosing. Here's what you do. Take out your message app on your phone. Fire that up- your text message app. Where you would type in the name of the person normally that you're going to text. Instead, put in this number: three, one, four, six, six five-they're all doing it behind the scenes- one, seven, six, seven. I love this. Three, one, four, six, six, five, one, seven, six, seven. If you're watching this and you're not a guest, go ahead and write this down because I gonna take the screen down. I want you to get it. This will be open until the end of the evening. Where you actually put in the message... Where you might put emojis, those kinds of things, not emojis, just two words separated by a dash or a hyphen. Those words are peak (P-E-A-K) dash Vacation (V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N). All together. No spaces. Peak vacation. Send it off, then monitor your phone. You're going to get an automated response back asking you for your email address, and that will then officially enter you into the contest. Compliments of The Big Insider Secrets. Our buddies, Jason Nash, the owner. Dear friend of mine who lets us give this away every single week. Every show, actually. We do more than one a week now on average. So go ahead, get that entered. I can't wait to see who's going to win that. You're going to be asked later, you don't have to if you're the winner, to provide your Facebook information. Just your profile so we can say congrats and give you a high-five online and get others to come watch the show. To be honest, that's another strategy. We're just rolling back the curtain. That's why we do it this way. You can offer incentives like that. My friend has offered that to anyone who is my friend. If you're not my friend, you don't get it. If you're on as part of the panel here, they're all my friends. Christian may differ on that opinion, but I think he's my friend.

Christian Karasiewicz:
I'm your friend. Yes.

Brian Kelly:
Ok, good. I picked on you so hard. I apologize, but you're just you're a fun guy. I appreciate you for putting up with it. I definitely do stuff like that. Implement it and announce it in the beginning. That helps retention. I'm just pulling back the curtain for everybody. You can do different things like that. Having multiple people, I noticed, is also a little better than just one every single time. So, mix it up now and then. Alright. I know we're a little bit over, but I want to give you each another chance for a final parting tip. Anything you want on live streaming. It could be hardware, software, how you smile, what bling you wear, don't wear, your makeup. I'm wearing some, by the way, just so the guys know. Yeah, I don't know what they call it. It's not like guy up.. guy-liner, but it's like makeup. I know. That was bad.

Dylan Shinholser:
I haven't heard of that one.

Brian Kelly:
I just did that. I'm not a young fart anymore. Anyway. So, Dylan, we'll do the same thing. Go around the horn. What would be one final quick tip, or parting words of advice, you can give our wonderful viewing and listening audience?

Dylan Shinholser:
Keep it simple stupid. Don't overcomplicate it. There's things that you need to do and standards you need to meet. At the end of the day, keep it simple stupid will allow you to not overcomplicated it (and) get overwhelmed. Once you get overwhelmed, it's a wash. I would just say as a life advice, event advice, live stream advice, just keep it simple stupid and keep it moving.

Brian Kelly:
Real quick, I got to interject on that. Just so people know that that comes from an acronym K.I.S.S. So we're not calling everybody stupid, for one.

Dylan Shinholser:
Well...

Brian Kelly:
That was great. I have a friend who is Sicilian in nature, and he did this from the stage. He talked about it, and he brought up the whole thing. We're talking about doing it without complicating it. He goes, "It's like K.I.S.S. Who knows what K.I.S.S means?" Someone raised their hands. They said, "keep it simple, stupid". He goes,"Oh, no, no. It's keep it simple Sicilian." He lighten the load of the stupid part. I thought that was cool. Sorry, Julie, what is your parting tip?

Julie Riley:
You know, you're going to have to get started at some point. In order to do that, you're going to have to get over your fear. Go practice. Get those done, but also go watch and find other people that you resonate with their live shows. Start to take pieces from each of those. Now, obviously, you cannot go copy their live show and recreate it. You can pull little things from multiple different people's live shows that you like and that resonate with you. If you're comfortable and things are resonating with you, you're going to exude that comfort and that confidence out to the rest of the world.

Brian Kelly:
I love it. I love it. Alright. The man, the myth, the legend, Timothy J. McNeely. What is your final parting word of advice?

Timothy McNeely:
I'm going to close with a story. The purpose of this story is to illustrate the power of doing a show. July 20th, 1969, the first man walked on the moon. He left his footprints up there. On the moon, there's no wind. There's no rain. There's no weather, and those footprints today in twenty twenty-one look exactly like they did in nineteen sixty-nine. They're going to be exactly the same a million years from now. You too. You leave footprints on the hearts and the minds of everyone that you come in contact with. In streaming and having a platform, that's your opportunity to leave your footprints and to have an impact on people. Get clear about what your message is. What's the impact you want to have? If you do that, all of the other puzzle pieces are going to fall in place for you.

Brian Kelly:
Oh, baby. Okay, I've got to do it. I've got to do it. That was amazing.

Dylan Shinholser:
You have to get one of the little lower third animation gifts that are possible here on StreamYard. It's just a mic drop every time someone does one.

Brian Kelly:
Not nearly as much fun though, bro.

Christian Karasiewicz:
That's true. Fair. Very fair. I'll give it to you. I've got to get me one of those little squishy microphones.

Brian Kelly:
A little sound effect like I just broke my desk or something. That would be good. Alright, Christian, you've had a long time to think about it now. No pressure, but this better be a good one. I'm kidding. What do you have?

Christian Karasiewicz:
Let's see. The best piece of advice, I think, would be don't have gas or gear acquisition syndrome. You're going to watch people doing their live streams, and they're going to go and be like, "hey, I got to get that mic because this person upgraded." Oh, they got a new webcam. Remember? If you develop a plan, the whole thing is work the plan.. work the system. It's great (that) somebody else got some equipment, but it doesn't mean that you need to go out and get that yourself as well. Remember, work your plan. When you get to the certain points, maybe set that as a milestone. If I get to a certain number of viewers, for example, or a certain number of subscribers on a channel, then I might need to upgrade something. Don't be buying stuff just because someone else is doing so.

Brian Kelly:
Sales drive service. I love it. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for coming on. Everyone who watched live. Thank you for coming on. Those of you that watched on the recording.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart with all seriousness. I know we had some fun tonight. Thank you, Christian, so much for letting me pick on you so hard. You've been a great guy. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you at a deeper level. If you're open to that after tonight. Appreciate you all. On behalf of these amazing people, that's it. We're out. My name is Brian Kelly. I'm the host of The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. Until next time we will see you. Be blessed. So long for now.
