Announcer:
Welcome to The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. The three keys to your success is just moments away. Here's your host, Brian Kelly.
Brian Kelly:
Hello, everyone, and welcome, welcome, welcome to The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. We have an amazing, amazing guest on tonight. I cannot wait to bring her on. She is my sister from another mister. From days gone by. She's gonna rock the house and you are in for a big treat. Stick with us because she is an expert with a capital E.. In what I consider to be the biggest pattern to success that we all possess. And I will tell you what that pattern is in just a moment. The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. What is that all about? Well, it is about those three patterns to success that I've discovered over studying only successful people over the last decade. And what I discovered over that decade is all of these patterns kept bubbling to the top of why are these people so successful? What is it about successful people that makes them any more successful than others? And I started recognizing these patterns develop. And the first of which is mind and hint, hint, wink, wink; that's the answer to our guest, expert's expertise is in the area of mind and mindset. And that is about having a very powerful and flexible mindset, and having a very cleared out mindset. And we're gonna get deeper into that on this very show. I'm excited because mindset, in my humble opinion, is the number one most underutilized and under targeted asset that we all have. If we all were to just concentrate on our mindset and get the help we need from professionals who know how to help us, to clear our minds of all the garbage and the trash, and replace it with beautiful gardens of beautiful flowing flowers, then our lives changed for the better. I know this personally because I've personally gone through certain mindset trainings in depth and it has been a life changer and we're gonna hit on that tonight a lot. And body; what is that all about? That is about literally taking care of yourself nutritionally, and through exercise inside and out. And then there's business. Now, business is very multi, multi multifaceted. It requires many skill sets to become successful. Many skill sets like sales, marketing, systematizing, leadership. The last one being the most important because there are many, many more. And the reason leadership is so important is because no one person, in my humble opinion, can master all of the skills necessary, not just to create a successful business, but to maintain and grow it. And the one key element, the one key skill set that all of these incredible, successful individuals that I studied had in the business realm was that they mastered the skill of leadership. And when you've done that now, you can scale your business and delegate and bring in others who have those skill sets that you might not have at that moment. And so, though, that is what this show is all about. The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show is a show for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs. And I am here to help extract the secrets of highly successful people like the young lady you are about to meet. And so that you can simply model what they do. So you're gonna get a model what Terry does, and become successful. You're going to get the opportunity to connect with her and become more successful. And that's what this show is all about, is to help you to reach the goals that you desire and deserve. And another wonderful trait about highly successful people, that to a person is is true, is they are all very evident, voracious readers; readers of books. And I personally didn't read books for decades. I kid you not; decades. And about a decade ago, I finally woke up and realized the importance of it and began reading myself voraciously. And so, what I want to do is really quickly segue into a segment I affectionately call bookmarks.
Announcer:
Bookmarks; born to read. Bookmarks. Ready, steady, read. Bookmarks. Brought to you by ReachYourPeakLibrary.com.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah, there you see, ReachYourPeakLibrary.com right there on the site for those you watching live or on the recorded video. Now, just a quick word before we go on is do yourselves a favor. And right now take out that old fashioned parchment. Remember that stuff? It's called paper. And then there's this thing called a writing instrument; a pen or a pencil. And what I implore you to do is instead of running off to another tab on your browser and taking off, and watching, or looking at these resources that you're told about on this show, because there will be several, rather than do that, just write down the web addresses and take note to then go revisit them after you've either watched or listened to the show. Sound fair? Because here's the thing. The magic happens in the room. And if you were to divert, take your attention somewhere else. And Terry came with a golden nugget and you missed it because you were concentrating on something else. Well, I really would hate for that to happen. So stay here, stay in the virtual room and stay here for the magic because it's coming very soon. Terry is sitting in the wings and chomping at the bit. She can't wait to come on. And I can't wait to bring her. So let's get through this. Reach Your Peak Library. It is a website I had developed with you in mind. And I do not kid when I say that with you, the entrepreneur, or the business professional, the person looking to get something better out of their life. This is my personal list of books that I myself have read and I vetted. These are all books that have had profound or some great positive effect on either my business life or my personal life or both. And as I scroll through here, you'll see about 40 or so books on this website. Not every book I've ever read is on this site. It did not cut the grade. So these are the best of the best. And I put them here for you so that you could at least have a targeted list of books to look at and look for, from at least one other successful entrepreneur. It doesn't guarantee they're gonna have the same or even any profound effect on you, because we're different people, let's face it. But it increases your odds of picking a book and spending the time, the investment of your time, reading a book that will give you results. And that is what that is all about. So go ahead, write down, ReachYourPeakLibrary.com and visit it after the show is over. Because now is the time to bring on the superstar of the evening. Here we go.
Announcer:
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. The one. The only, Terry Wildemann. How are you doing this evening, my sister?
Terry Wildemann:
I is doing really, really well. Thank you for having me.
Brian Kelly:
I love it. So we've known each other for probably 200 years. It's been amazing. Amazing ride. It's funny. This is one of those individuals that it's a mutual feeling that when we met, it's like we've known each other forever and she's fun. Has a great sense of humor. She's also very, very intelligent. She also cares deeply about your success. And that's why she's on the show. You know, all those all those traits and so many more I'm sure that we could go into. But I want to before I actually formally bring you on, Terry, sorry to be a tease here, but for all of you watching and listening, stay on to the end, because at the end, you will have the opportunity to win a five night stay at a, you guessed it, five star luxury resort. All compliments of the Big Insider Secrets. You see the red logo up here on the upper right hand corner of your screen, phenomenal, phenomenal educational system and company by a dear, dear friend of mine who brought this prize to our show. And we give this out every single week on the show. And yes, there will be a time, and I hope very soon where you can actually cash in on that prize and fly and have a wonderful time in a wonderful resort. So do stick on to the end so that we can give you the opportunity to be that one to wave the ticket in other people's presence, to say, "I'm leaving as soon as I can. I'm out of here." So, let's bring on the woman of the hour. Terry is an experienced entrepreneur, speaker, professional development trainer, executive coach and best selling author. We're just beginning here who became certified in various holistic modalities after experiencing multiple burnouts, -Who can relate with this?- And health crisis. Terry integrates her experience, practical and holistic knowledge and wisdom and deep intuition into programs and speeches that develop leaders and entrepreneurs into highly intuitive, puzzle solving ninjas, who integrate the practical, tactical, logical, physical, energetic, spiritual and emotional. I could go on for days. We're gonna cut it off there. And now officially welcome Terry to the show. How're you doing once again this evening? And what are you up to lately, Terry? I want to hear what's going on in your life.
Terry Wildemann:
Oh, jeez. You know, everybody's working from home. It's a wonderful thing. I have my husband downstairs. He's working off of the dining room table. And I am here in my office. And in the 25 years we have lived in this house, I've spent more time in this office, in the last two months, than I have in those 25 years, because I usually love to sit in the den. He goes to work. I sit in the den. We have this gigantic eight foot slider. I love to look out on the deck, in my little fountain with the angels, and this and that, and all the birds, and trees, and blah, blah, blah, blah. And now he's sitting in the dining room and he's on his zoom and he's too loud. So I am here in my office.
Brian Kelly:
Fantastic. Now, you're you are very diverse. You've done a lot of things. You have a lot of, a lot of talents, a lot of talents, especially in the area of mindset. And what I wanted to do is - and this is what I love to ask each of the successful entrepreneurs, that comes on the show. So we get to learn a little bit about you through the intro and the bio on things. And that's kind of on a level above above ground, I like to say mentally. What I like to do is dig a little bit deeper. And what I mean by that is get into that big, beautiful brain of yours and find out exactly what it is about you that helps you to be to reach the levels of success that you have, because everyone else can benefit from your experience and what you do to maintain that. So when you get up in the morning, Terry, you know, being an entrepreneur, as we know, is super simple. It's a piece of cake. It's a walk in the park. And I am being totally sarcastic there, of course, it's not.
Terry Wildemann:
Really?
Brian Kelly:
And so every day we meet challenges. And that's what's special about entrepreneurs is, you know, bring it, bring me another one. It's OK. But for you, you know, knowing that when you get up everyday isn't perfect and there are those days, what is it that really motivates you? Like when you first come to and you're you're awake, and the day is in front of you, and you're ready to take it on, what is it that keeps you driven to do what you do each day, day in and day out?
Terry Wildemann:
Well, the very first thing that I do when I open my eyes is I take a deep breath and I breathe into my heart to get my brain and my heart connected. Because there's a lot of science behind that - I'm licensed with the Heart Method Institute. And way back in 2001 when I got my license, I was taught when you connect your brain in the head with the brain and the heart, you're in alignment. You're in a very coherent space. So I take a very deep breath and I shift into gratitude. I am thankful for my pillow. I'm thankful for my bed. I'm thankful for my sheets. I'm thankful to people made them all. I'm thankful for the bed. I'm thankful for the weather outside. Whatever is going on, I go into a place of gratitude and that place of gratitude allows me to open the door to allow whatever comes in that day, to be a positive thing. Now, is all of it positive? No. But because of the mindset, the positive mindset that you're in, it allows you to look at the stuff that lands in your lap that's not so good from a different perspective. And that's really the thing. It's perspective. Do I react? Yes, of course I react, especially with my specific behavior style. In my early days, I was definitely a reactor. No two ways about it. I reacted and that reaction can get you into trouble because you're not hearing, seeing and listening to the other things that are really important in that specific moment in time. There's a lot of information in those things. It took me a long. I do what I do today because I teach what I had to learn for myself. I've been an entrepreneur since I was 18.
Brian Kelly:
I love it all. All of it. It's amazing. And I love this attitude of gratitude that you wake up with. And it is so powerful. It's so easy to do. Why not just do it every single day? What are you going to lose? I'm talking to other people. Not you, Terry. Of course. What is there to lose? I mean, if you're, let's say you're commuting into a place of work and some still do and many will be back to doing that. Why not spend that time think - being thankful of everything that you can observe as you're driving and do it repetitively and it doesn't matter how small it is. You just, you put yourself in that zone, I like to say. And now problems become less severe and solutions become more readily available. It's amazing. I wrote down a note of gratitude. We got some cool people coming on. We got Mr. David Fagan just getting to know Terry, but very impressed. Yes. As am I, my friend. Yeah. Let's reconnect.
Terry Wildemann:
Hello David!
Brian Kelly:
Yeah. And then all the way from the Philippines. Eliza, she is an amazing young woman, has worked with our company in the past and is often on here watching. Appreciate you for coming on all the time, Eliza. Good morning to you. In the Philippines. And that's that's phenomenal. The attitude of gratitude. So in my humble opinion and I wonder if you would agree, Terry, but the mind is, is the reason we are where we are right now. No matter if you're in a place of success or in a place of scarcity, it's all about where you have decided to put yourself. And it's no one else's fault but yours. And no one else's cause but yours. Do you agree with that?
Terry Wildemann:
I agree with that 100 percent. And I wanted to take your car scenario a bit deeper, if I may.
Brian Kelly:
Yes, please.
Terry Wildemann:
We'd get into the car now in the days when we were all going to work. You'd slide behind the wheel and you're sitting there thinking about this, this, this, this, this and this. I challenge you. And this is a home. This is an exercise I would love for everyone to do. I challenge you to get behind that wheel and to actually feel the steering wheel under your hands. Actually feel the seat under you. Actually feel yourself turning the key on. And as you're driving to work, stay. Take a deep breath and get fully present in the moment. And notice the trees. Notice nature. Notice the buildings. Notice the cars around you. Notice the people around you. Do not think about work. Do not think about the future. Do not think about all that stuff. Stay fully present in the moment and only focus. Only focus on what you see right smack in front of you. And notice what's good about it. You know, it's spring. The trees are starting to lead to blossom. The flowers are starting to come out. You know, lower your windows. Take a deep breath. Bring in the smell of those flowers in the trees. Unless you're allergic, then you've got another problem. But stay fully present in the moment. And by the time you get to work, you're in a very different place than sitting there thinking instead, "oh, I've got to talk with this person. I have to talk with that person." Listen to the words. "I have to talk with this person. I have to talk with that person. Oh, I just can't stand, you know, getting in with this, (inaudible)." You were already setting yourself up in a negative mindset. And when you do that, what ends up happening, is that the cortisol in your body rises. And as it rises, it's creating havoc in your body. It creates the muscle pain, the muscle aches. It makes you gain weight. It increases the blood pressure. It does all kinds of happy nonsense to your body that you don't really want. It contributes to disease. It makes disease worse. So, on your way to work, take a deep breath and instead look at the beauty of what's around you. And that is going to set the stage for a much different day at work. And if things go bad, you take a deep breath. Breathe into your chest. Think of something that feels good for 60 seconds, that's all you need to do. Make it very, very real. And that little piece right there, - I call it the quick shift zone. Your cortisol levels are going to drop, your D-H-E-A levels are going to rise, and it's going to allow you to look at things from a different perspective and a different mindset. So that might you know, the mind body piece is huge and it's going to help you as an entrepreneurial leader in business and in life.
Brian Kelly:
Excelente. I was taking notes. I'm running this whole thing. You know, director, producer, actor, post, all that good stuff. And so I'm not asking you to do anything that I wouldn't do. That is take notes and write it down on a piece of paper. That's why I love to put my guest on full screen so I can write like a madman. While they're dropping these nuggets of value. And one of the things that struck me was when you said, I have to talk with this person, I have to do this. And it's something along that same line. I always teach my team and anyone around me that I hear saying that. Can I just ask him to do a simple reframe? So, like, this is taking it to an extreme because nobody likes doing the dishes. But we say "I have to do the dishes." Well, instead, maybe could you say "I get to do the dishes?" And so what does that mean? Well, now you're your subconscious is going. It's working and saying, "well, that means I'm thankful that I have a sink to do the dishes in. I'm thankful that I have dishes to wash. I have running water with which to do the dishes. Hopefully I have soap to go with that. Maybe I'm in a dwelling place that I get to live in" and it just brings up that attitude of gratitude you talked about in the beginning, Terry.
Terry Wildemann:
Laughing, crying.
Brian Kelly:
Pardon?
Terry Wildemann:
Bad examples, Brian, because we live on a well. And let me tell you. We run out of water because somebody left the sink on, or a toilet running, or we have a bazillion people here and we just run the well dry. I sit there, you know, it's like, oh, my gosh. So when the water comes back on, you better believe we are grateful that we get to do the dishes. We get to get (inaudible). You are so spot on with that.
Brian Kelly:
And I think the farther you take that, the better the results will be for you. Like dishes are ugh, you know. Like, what's another one that's - doing the laundry? Yuck. You know, housework, vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom. Okay. I get to clean the bathroom. Yes, that's a good one. I mean, there's so. But how many people don't even have a bathroom? How many people don't have what you have? And it's not to make you feel guilty. It's to make you feel thankful. It's just the opposite. It's to make you feel blessed. And it's just amazing to me, Terry. I know the old me. I've just - I don't know - ten, eleven years ago, I would've thought what we're talking about right now is a bunch of woo woo, you know, get away from me. This is dumb. And now I'm mature, getting old, man. Fifty five now. And I think there's nothing more important than feeding your mind what it was designed to be fed. And that is positive thoughts and positive reinforcement, not only for what's around you, but for yourself. Too many of us are kicking ourselves in the butt when we should be giving ourselves credit.
Terry Wildemann:
You're absolutely right. Business is changing. You know, when I entered a manufacturing company in my late 20s, we built electrical control panels and baggage racks for the railroad industry and the world that I lived there was railroad, railroad, OK. There were no women in railroad. And here I am, a Hispanic woman with this manufacturing company. And I've always thought the way that I think, you know, this is I've always had this very positive streak and I'm with all of these very left brained engineering men. And God still keeps bringing me engineers. I work with a lot of engineering mindset, engineering brains. And I really couldn't be myself because it was all about how to watch every word and whether it was left brained or not. Yes, I do have the left brained. I do have - I am very much left brained, as you can see, just even from my office. I have the angels here. I have all the angels here, and I've got all the books over here. And I sit right in the middle of them. So I've got a, you know, I integrate all of it. However, when I owned that manufacturing company, let me tell you, it was intense and these very, very, very, very left brained engineers would not listen to my intuition. And my intuition was always right. And it cost them a lot of money, but unfortunately, I'm the one that paid the price because we were working for six months, seven days a week, 17 hours a day. And my doctor basically said, you're not going to reach 33 (inaudible). You know, so people are listening. Business is different today, and I think with a lot of the changes that have happened in our world, people are beginning to realize the necessity of truly integrating mind, body. Truly integrating the practical "woo" in everything that we do.
Brian Kelly:
Of that practical "woo." That's awesome. I have never heard that before. Really cool. Oh, my goodness. So switching gears just a little bit, because I do want to really dive deep into understanding what you do for people in your business. And along those lines, you know, being an entrepreneur, as you can attest, takes a lot of skills like I opened up in the show and there are wide and varied. And I barely - I don't think I hit 10 percent of them when I mentioned them. Amongst all of the skills necessary to become and maintain successful success and successful - that didn't work. I got check my English, Brian. And to do that, to maintain, you know, to become successful and then to grow your business and continue that upward climb. Today, if you were to take a snapshot right now, what would you, Terry, say are the top three skills that you would say are necessary to achieve that?
Terry Wildemann:
Passion for what it is you're doing. And I'm going to put this in the number one slot. Passion, love and joy. Passion, love and joy is the number one. It's critical to running a great business. Number two is surrounding yourself with a fantastic team. You cannot do it all on your own. You truly, truly can't. Your team is key. And so many entrepreneurs say to me, oh, I don't have enough money da-da-da-da-da. You know what? There are a lot of resources that will. That you can tap into from internships at universities to other companies who have resources that people who may have just the talent that you need, at just the right price to assist you to get to where you want to be. And number three. Money comes in number three; prosperity. You know, prosperity is huge. And it's focusing on prosperity from a global perspective. Mind - you know, the mind body connection, self care, continuing with knowledge. So, number three, the gold is in the self care and the gold is in being able to communicate and listen with folks. So that's all part of prosperity. And the mind, body, connection, communication, leadership, all of that falls into that level three under the banner of prosperity. So, love, joy, passion, your team and then prosperity. If you put money first and there is not anyone I know who has put money first, who has truly succeeded. Because when you put money first, you're always going after the money, the money, the money, the money and the people I know, they may be succeeding financially, but they're not succeeding in their relationships. They're not succeeding in their health. They're absolutely flaming miserable.
Brian Kelly:
Wow. That's it. Mic drop, all of it. I am not kidding, Terry. I love those three skills. I have - no one that has preceded you has ever mentioned any of those three as being the most important. Now, it's it's important to note that this is what is important in one's current state, in their own walk with their success. That's what I love about these, because they're always different. But this one this one really stood above to me. I'm getting chills because you're my sister passing passion, joy and love. I mean, you're so right. I mean, if you don't love what you do, then what the heck are you doing? Sorry, I'm not shaming anyone. (Inaudible).
Terry Wildemann:
You burn out. If you don't love what you're doing, you will burn out. Now you can still burn out because there's a lack of boundaries.
Brian Kelly:
Sure. Sure.
Terry Wildemann:
You can love what you're doing, which is what happened to me. I burned out because I loved what I was doing, but I didn't have the right boundaries. So but when you love what you do and you put the right boundaries in, it's just amazing what happens and what you focus on expands, and expands and the universe will give you more. And the universe is going to bring just the right people, and just the right tools and just the right stuff to help you get to where you want to be. But those three things have to be key first.
Brian Kelly:
And I've seen - it pains me because these are people I care about. I've seen many. I know many who claim they're passionate about something, but really all they're passionate about are the riches at the end of the rainbow. You know, they've talked themselves into thinking that they love it. You know, that's what a lot of shiny object syndrome entrepreneurs are usually guilty of is, they're running after money more than the cause of the pack. The yeah. The mission, the purpose. But here's the thing, Terry. I've noticed, you know, when you're first starting out as an entrepreneur and you don't have the traction yet, you don't have clients yet. There is a big part of it that you must be money centric in the beginning because you need the money to survive. So you have to find ways to get the money. And as you're growing the money and that's becoming more abundant. That's when you see the shifts of those who decide to grow into maturity, I call it - an entrepreneur phase, like The Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber talks about the three phases of business and they get to the point where money is never - it's not the focus anymore. It is now about serving others. It's now about expanding their employee base, helping more people, scaling, like you said, a fantastic team. Wow. You're the first one that's brought that up. That is so I think that is so on point.
Terry Wildemann:
That shocked the living daylights out of me.
Brian Kelly:
I mean, if you're passionate about that, about something and you're going as a solo-prenuer, you will burn out guaranteed. I know. I've been there. You've been there, Terry, because you've got to have help. You are so absolutely right. And then those that are saying "yea, but I don't have the money." We've all been there. I've been there. I bet Terry has had those thoughts, too.
Terry Wildemann:
Oh yes.
Brian Kelly:
The key is overcoming those thoughts. And that's where we're gonna segue way pretty soon. And what Terry does to help you with that is to get over that resistance and hesitation. Those limiting beliefs that are keeping you from doing what you really should be doing, that you know you should be doing. That you're just holding your back, yourself back with excuses and reasons and some of it's subconscious. And Terry can help clear this out for you because she's an amazing woman and vent out, you know, with getting help. I have apprentices that work with me. I never say for me. Literally at just over two dollars an hour is their rate. That's it. It's out there. They're out there. And they're amazing. They're fantastic. I've got a whole system around it. And so just - you'll figure it out if you are that passionate about something, right,Terry. You're gonna figure out how to make it work. If you're burning out, you'll figure it out. And it's not all about you, though. What about a team - beyond a team, right? Mentors, coaches, friends, (inaudible).
Terry Wildemann:
And here's the thing, Brian. You were saying that in the beginning you need to be very money conscious. But you know what? When you have love during (inaudible) the very beginning and you've got a great team to support you, the money is going to automatically come in. So that's the thing that people fail to realize. The money will flow once your priorities are in order.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah, that's true. That's true. Very true. It is about, you know - I've been in network marketing in and out, and I see all the the mega recruiters who are in for the quick kill. They're just looking for the next recruit, next recruit. But they're not there to support the people they're recruiting. And it's the house of cards because they're all in it for the quick kill. The fast cash. Same thing. It's built on a on a foundation of sand instead of stone. So all of this and then prosperity and self care. Communication (inaudible). Especially when you have a team you got to communicate. I know an organization right now that has been around for years, not just weeks or months. And their communication is still horrible and they're suffering. All of these things play together by the way. It's not just one thing that's going to heal everything that's not going right, right now. And it's a process and it takes time. But here's a beautiful thing. You have somebody like this right here who can help you navigate those waters.
Terry Wildemann:
Thank you.
Brian Kelly:
And Terry, to that end, this is the time. I want to dive into this. Exactly what is it you do? Who do you serve? And then we'll get into how people can connect with you a little bit later on the show. But let's - I really want to find out what is it that you do and what impact are you having on those people that you've already worked with?
Terry Wildemann:
Well, I work with entrepreneurial leaders who are ready to leap off the stress hamster wheel and leap into what I call the calm, ease and flow zone. And what emerges from that? Because they learn how to look at things from different perspectives as I talk about before. They evolve into unstoppable, resilient, intuitive leaders. And to be at that place as a as an entrepreneur is absolutely huge, because when you understand how you're thinking and how it affects your energy, your body and how you are interacting with people - It's called, you know, it's Law of Attraction, folks. And people say "oh Law of Attraction doesn't work." Well, guess what? Law of Attraction works 24/7 because Law of Attraction works based on your mindset. All right. It's energy. It's vibration. So if you're negative all the time, more of that stuff lands in your lap. If you're positive all the time, more of that stuff lands in your lap. The thing is - "oh, well, I mean, I know I'm positive. I know. I'm really, really positive. And I tried it and nothing happened." Okay. I hear that a lot. But guess what? It's the subconscious stuff that gets in the way that you're not aware of. We carry around a lot of emotional baggage that unfortunately we bring to it. We bring into our world from our environment where we were raised, and the different situations, and the things that happened in our lifetime. And they affect us. And unless we clear out that emotional baggage - I have worked with entrepreneur, over entrepreneur, over entrepreneur who gets so close to the finish line. They are right there. They are ready to cross. And all of a sudden it is like a cartoon. Their heels go in and they start going backwards because it's a fear of success. It's a fear of not enough. "Oh, I'm not good enough." Lack of self-esteem. Lack of not being worthy. Anxiety, worry, on, and on, and on, and on. All that emotional baggage gets in the way of being able to cross over that finish line into the land of success. So what I do - I am certified in NLP, Emotion Code, Body Code, EFT. On, and on, and on, and on. And doesn't - that stuff doesn't matter. You know, I've got a big, if you can imagine a big carpet bag - I don't know if I have a carpet bag that - a big carpet pack that's got all these different tools in it. And I just pull out just the right thing for you. Everything is customized and we clear out all of that emotional crap that is in your way because you're the only one who's who's stopping yourself from being the success that you want to be. So we clear it out and oh my gosh. It is so juicy and delicious when you cross that finish line feeling so good because you did it, you did it. There is nothing worse than that constant voice back here. Either from, you know, parents, or siblings, or friends who say, "what are you doing that for? What are you doing that for?" And they squash your dreams. And, you know, in your heart, your soul, you feel it, it's in yourselves. You really, really, really want to do it. You're meant to do this, but you allow these people, to talk, you know, constantly talking here. And we we get rid of all that nonsense. And I propel you to a place where you live your dreams successfully. And (inaudible) dream; trust me, I'm gonna tell you.
Brian Kelly:
I really hope everyone is taking notes. It's Golden Nugget after Golden Nugget. My page is full now.
Terry Wildemann:
OK.
Brian Kelly:
Amazing, amazing value. Rich, valuable information. And, you know, really harping on the fact that it's all about mindset. The fact that you're talking about the subconscious. I'm so glad you said that because, you know, I don't know if a lot of people know this, but when you compare your conscious brain to your subconscious brain, the amount of control and power comparatively - you know, there's different numbers, but they're always around close. They're really 90 percent subconscious, 10 percent something that's 20, 80. Things like that. That the subconscious is a very, very powerful. Yes.
Terry Wildemann:
You know, Brian. Let me put that into the picture for you. So it's easy for the listeners to understand where I'm going with this. You know, the Titanic was sunk by what was not seen. So let's imagine the iceberg. The top part of the iceberg is what everybody sees. OK? It's your actions and your behavior. It's your words on, and on, and on. That's the top of the iceberg. The bottom two thirds of that iceberg, that is all the subconscious stuff. It's the hidden stuff that's sunk the Titanic. It's the hidden stuff that keeps sinking us. And is doing the same thing over and over again. Oftentimes, the specific action you're taking could be the right thing. But it's this stuff up here that is holding it back and that's that lower two thirds that gets in the way mass the stuff that I love to work with, to get rid of.
Brian Kelly:
Ditto, ditto. Yeah, that's a great metaphor. I love that. And I used to put up a graphic, and once I spoke from stage, and taught NLP from stage and I literally had a picture of an iceberg. And many use that analogy in NLP to talk about the 10 percent, which is this much, and then the rest of it, which is massive and it's all under the water. And that's where - that's the power of your brain. We're not talking about our brains. We're talking about your brain. You that are watching. You that are listening. What if you could tap into that? What if you could reprogram it? Because we cannot consciously access it. Or can we? Yes. Because there might be someone who knows how to do just that. And the only thing that's going to do is give you the results you've been wanting and desiring and deserving your entire life (inaudible).
Terry Wildemann:
Your body is going to feel better.
It's absolutely true. I can say this with absolute certainty because I've experienced it both as a student, someone who received the NLP processes. I my background is NLP. And then one who has applied those processes to many people, even a sea of people, in a training facility and a seminar; watching them transform before your eyes is the biggest gift in the world. But knowing that they're coming in as a totally different person the next day, it's so fulfilling for me. But it's I'm just happy for them. And I implore of you, - all of you watching, listening - if you have not gone through any kind of mindset, I don't even want to call it work. It's play. It's fun because you get results and they don't take weeks, months or years. In NLP terms, it's seven minutes for certain processes and like that. Your mind wants to change. It wants to change now. It's just accessing the right tools in the right sciences that are proven, that exist today. And there's someone here that can help you do that right here. Right here, Terry.
Terry Wildemann:
That's really cute what you just said. These are a lot of energy psychology tools that exists today. And there are more tools every day that are emerging and it's interesting that so many medical doctors are finally looking at this. They are finally getting it that the mind is so powerful - "Oh, it's just the placebo effect." Who cares if it works? It's the power of the mind and the beautiful thing within our pain and with emotion code and body code. And, you know, you've got EMDR and you've got the tapping that people use, you know, using the acupuncture points, also known as the motion of freedom technique. You know, all of these different tools and modalities that are coming up. They're coming up and being downloaded to people for a reason. It's time. You know, our medical system is phenomenal. And, you know, science is great. But guess what? These other tools in combination with it, create magic and miracles in huge ways.
Brian Kelly:
And it does. And it it does seem like magic. It does. The first time I experienced it is like, wow, this stuff works. You know, I mean, that was one I'll never forget. One time I literally got up. I was in a I went through an advanced NLP course to train to be a trainer. And at that moment, we were on the other side. We were on the client side. The change chairs, we call it. And I'll just remember when the first time one of these processes was applied to me. And I felt the change immediately. I literally, I was I was blown away. I got so excited. I jumped up and I ran around the room, literally ran around the room. And I'm like, I don't know what I was saying, but I know I remember the instructor saying "other people are still in their process", like, oh, I didn't know I was doing this. It was like, awesome. And for those that might have this preconceived notion of mindset work and, you know, when you hear terms like NLP or hypnosis, a lot of people kind of retract and get a little bit scared. I used to be the same way. I really was. And I just want to let those people know that all hypnosis, when you talk about hypnosis, that's really where people go, that that's what they equate everything to because that's what they know. And I've seen it so many times, and I was one of them. I will be honest. And the thing to do is address that, because all hypnosis is self hypnosis. In other words, you cannot be forced or coerced to do anything that isn't already in your value system subconsciously. So if you're not a person who goes out and, you know, does damage to other people in any way, shape or form, that's not part of you, you are not going to be able to be coerced to do that. If you're a believer in a certain religion, you're not going to be coerced into believing something else. Like, if you're a Christian, you're not going to become anti and vice versa. It's just that's what is inbred in your value system. Once I learned that, I was like, man, let's take that. Let's take the guard down and let's go make some, you know, get in line with somebody like this who wants to help you, who has everything but the best of intentions for you so vet the people that you work with and then go all in and just trust in the process. Within five minutes, you will completely trust Terry, if you don't already haven't you. Yes. She is amazing. So, yeah. I mean, we could go a couple more hours on this, Terry, so back over to you.
Terry Wildemann:
Well, you know, what we're talking a lot about mindset, but the next level is, once we work with mindset, where do you go from there? So, you know, it's about when I work with my clients. I work on their intuition. I help them trust their intuition. So many entrepreneurs or business leaders don't trust their intuition. Who here has not listened to their intuition and lived to regret it? And it's because they don't trust it. So I help my clients trust their intuition, figure out which which entrepreneur - which intuitive strength is their strength. I mean, are they psychic? Do they hear words? Do they feel it? Or are they kinesthetic, you know, what is it? Clearer? Are they clear clairaudient, clairvoyant, claircognizant and clairsentient? You know, finding out which one and which combination is really key to helping you trust your intuition. And a lot of that is practice. And then the next step is communication. How do you communicate? Do you. What is your behavior style? I love to work with the disk profile. I've been using disk profile since I had since nineteen ninety three. When I read my very first report and I'm reading this report. I'm sitting there going, "Oh that's not me. That's not me. No, that's not me. Oh that's me. Yeah. I like that part." And I put it away. And two weeks later after I put my girls to sleep, I was, I pulled it back out again. I started reading it. And every single thing that I wrote and highlighted that I didn't like. I realized that I had done in those two weeks and that I thought, "oh, it is time to learn this." And I did. I got certified in this and I learned a lot about the emotions that each behavior style carries, which allows me then to communicate positively with an individual, by understanding on the surface where they're going, because disk reads, body language, voice tone as well as the words. And so between communication, leadership skills, working with intuition and clearing out the emotional baggage and then we get into systems for an entrepreneur. I'd tell ya, I will not work with an entrepreneur unless we work with mindset first.
Brian Kelly:
And I couldn't agree more. I mean, there's no point.
Terry Wildemann:
Well, you're right. And, well, I'm not going to say there's no point. What it has proven to me over and over again. And I have a lot of - I've had a lot of folks who want to hire me and say "well I want and help me work with my systems" (inaudible). Well I'll help you work with your systems once we figure out why your systems are the way they are now and why is it that the systems are the way they are? And why do you feel safe with the systems and you're doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a difference? We need to get to the core of that. We need to get to the bottom of that. And what I find is when we integrate all of it together, the results are very powerful, strong and dynamic. But you have to want to do it. "You can take a horse to water. But you can't make them drink."
Brian Kelly:
And that's something I learned is once I found a mentor that I trusted and who had the results I sought, that I wanted as well, I decided to go all in and just do what they recommended to do; without fighting it, without arguing about it, without thinking I could do it a different way. I don't. I've been there, done that, and I got nowhere as a result. Like, you talk about crossing the finish line and helping people get there. I can't tell you how many times, Terry, I got right to the end and I'd trip over my shoelaces and not make it. And over, and over, and over, for all the reasons you mentioned, I was reliving every one of them. And thank goodness, you know, I met my mentor who helped me get to the point where I now - as I was telling you before the show, just crossing that line and going over the crest. And you know what? It's not going to go downhill. It's going to keep going up. And there'll be another finish line because it never ends. And I love that about entrepreneurship. But it's that first one that everyone wants. You know, that first experience. "Gosh, if I could just do this, right?" And I love that that is where your focus is. And, you know, to put it in layman's terms, for all those watching and listening, that is what Terry does for you. She gets the results to help you get past that finish line of yours. What is your goal? I want to open my first business. I want to have my first 100, my 100th client come to the doors or come online. Whatever your goals are, there's that self sabotage in our subconscious that's keeping us from getting there or limiting beliefs that Terry so eloquently talked about, many of them. And she can help you to weed, you know, weed out that beautiful garden of your brain where you have nothing but the beautiful flowers, and thriving vegetables, and fruits that will keep you going, and thriving for years to come, because this is a permanent fix for you. Once it's cleared out. Oh, talk about that, Terry. You were saying about, something about how your business model is not to be there forever for someone, but to give them the tools.
Terry Wildemann:
Right. Right. Right. Well, I'm all about awakening the possibilities. That's my tagline. It's intuitive leadership. And the tagline is Awaken the Possibilities. I have a Facebook group called the Awaken the Possibilities, and I have a podcast called Awaken the Possibilities. So bringing out, awakening your possibilities is key. And when we awaken your possibilities and we're clear on your goals and we're clear on how you're going to get there and what it is you're going to do. You know, I am all about teaching you how to feed yourself. And the tools that I use, I teach them to you in a way that you will be able to use them for yourself. So you don't need me. It's about working my way out of a job. And that's really what I look at, where leadership is concerned. It's about raising people. Helping people get to where they are. A lot of coaches, a lot of leaders, they're scared that their proteges are going to be better than they are. I want you to be better than me. I want you to be up there because guess what? You have a mission on this planet. You have a mission on this earth. My mission is to be here in the middle between the angels and my intuition on this side and my left brain books on this side. And to hold, hold you up so that you can get to where you want to be and you're expected and need to be because guess what? Your tribe is waiting for you. That my tribe. It's your tribe. Your tribe is waiting for you. And I would love to be able to help you be there in mind, body and spirit in a way that you attract your ideal audience, a way that you're clear on your vision and your mission, in a way that your entrepreneurs - that that your business is has a really good, solid foundation. Doesn't have that saying that you were talking about earlier, Brian. It is it is solid. And you can stand on your own two feet and then you just tap into these any time that you need a Terry Fix.
Brian Kelly:
That's that's one of the many things I love about you. I'm just gleaming over here because, you know, you could easily leave out an ingredient, or a step, or a whole process, or two, and make it so they have to keep coming back to you easily. And what you just explained tells me so much about you, that you're all about abundance. You have zero scarcity mindset. It's about helping people to achieve their greatness. Not helping Terry to become a multi-millionaire. Which, by the way, (inaudible) say which by the way, I honestly hope you, if you aren't already there, that you do achieve that and you far exceed it because of what you do. You know, it's OK for people to make money. It's OK for people to make a lot of money, especially someone like Terry. Why? What is she going to do with that money? She's going to serve and help more people. She's gonna scale her business. And it's not - it's more of a responsibility, not just a desire to make more money as an entrepreneur, if you are serving and helping others, just like Terry is. So please become incredibly wealthy so you can continue to do what you do and pass on your knowledge to others to carry the torch whenever that time comes. It's amazing what you do, and I love just listening to you because your heart is so gorgeous. You know, you just, you just have - you love helping people and to say that I'm here to get you out of my out of my office so that you can take care. It's like kicking the can, or the bird out of the nest.
Terry Wildemann:
Yeah, yeah.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah. And I get that. But as with kicking a kid out of the house or letting them move on in life, we're still always there in case they need us. Right. So you have that lifeline, that support line.
Terry Wildemann:
Right and as you were talking before the show, I mentioned that I, I raised my children...To be independent. And strong, so that the day that I'm not here, - I mean, I could be gone tomorrow. The day that I'm not here, they can stand on their own two feet. I don't want them to be dependent on me. I don't want that. Now, well am I going to be there for them to help them and support them? Absolutely. But darn it. I want them to be on their own, stand on their own two feet to be able to make their choices, to make their mistakes as much as every mom and dad. I really you know, we try. You know, one of the worst things a parent can do is to get in the way of their children making mistakes. You're right. Because our kids - people learn from mistakes. And when we try to sanitize the world. Exactly. When we try to sanitize the world from and avoid our children making mistakes. It's one thing to give them counsel. It's one thing to share insights with them. But ultimately, they need to make the decisions and learn for themselves because that's how they're going to navigate through life. I see these helicopter parents and these kids who are not allowed to make mistakes. And my heart hurts for them.
Brian Kelly:
It's just gonna put them behind everyone else who was brought up, allowed to make mistakes. And so I agree. I mean, it's a fine line, especially with parents. They love their kids so much, they don't want to see him hurt and that there's nothing wrong with that. But there is there is that balancing act of when do I let them go make their own mistakes? Just don't. Yeah. I don't want to become a preacher on the subject, but I agree with everything you're saying, Terry. Completely. It's you know, there are times I have over done it on helping my kids. I'll be the first to admit it. And then then I'll say, "whoa, back up." Let them take care of what they want to do.
Terry Wildemann:
And it's hard.
Brian Kelly:
It is.
Terry Wildemann:
It is really hard to do that.
Brian Kelly:
One thing I, I promised and I stuck true to it that I would never do is try to have them or ask them to walk in my footsteps, to follow in my footsteps, to do what I do. I said, no, I'm just going to let them know what the choices are. And, you know, give them the positives and negatives of each and say, and if you want help or further discussion, I'm here. But I want you to decide. And I will love you every ounce as much. No matter which way you go, it doesn't matter. I mean, yeah, it doesn't matter to me. As long as they're happy. If they made the choice that's right for them. That's all that matters to me. That's the way it is with the way you are treating your people that come through your doors. You're giving them your - you're empowering them to be self-sufficient, to make the choices they need to make. I love it.
Terry Wildemann:
I have a very funny story for you real quickly. You know, we're a navy family, right? My husband retired from the Navy after 25 years. Well, unbeknownst to us, when my daughter was going through college and she was choosing colleges, she decided to go to this one university because it had the entire ROTC program in it. And we're looking at a guy. "What? You want to go into the navy? You're kidding." OK. Well, we had, you know, whatever. So she went out and she went on to this one tour and she calls me up. She goes "Yeah, mom. I'm going to be the weapons officer on board the ship." And I just sat there and I went "You're the what?" "The weapons officer." And I just sat - I couldn't speak. I was a little dumbfounded. And there's something you don't know about me. You know, my degrees in law enforcement is in criminal justice. I was in law enforcement in my early 20s, in my mid 20s. And I got very quiet and I meditated on it because I was like, "oh my God, my kid is going to be the weapons officer on board this ship." And I heard these words "get over it Terry. Her guns are just bigger than yours were."
Brian Kelly:
Oh, man, that's funny.
Terry Wildemann:
So, you know, I'm like, OK, that I'll put it in perspective for me. Her guns are just bigger than mine were. So, you know, our kids following in our footsteps. Sometimes they do. And you have no clue how that's gonna happen.
Brian Kelly:
It's true. Yeah. You see it and you're like "Wait, wait. When did this happen? How come you're doing what? Oh, no. I don't know if I want you to do that, but. OK, go ahead. I'll help if you want. I hope I didn't completely brainwash you into doing that. Cause I certainly don't want to." Well, hey, you know, we're getting near the end, which I cannot believe. And there's a couple of things left to do. Actually, three things left to do. But one is, I love to ask a particular question of every one of my guest experts who come on the show, Terry. And it's an amazing question because it's very, very personal. And I don't mean that in a get into your knickers kind of personal way. It's just unique to every individual. Let's put it that way.
Terry Wildemann:
OK.
Brian Kelly:
And that's all. It's nothing deep. The interesting thing is some some respond like, bam, they have it. Others take some time to ponder. And for you, whatever it is it takes is perfectly fine, because here's the thing; there is no such thing as a wrong answer. It doesn't exist. All right. So before we get into that, though, I did promise everyone at the onset of the show that I would show them how they could win a five nights stay at a five star luxury resort. And you now have our permission to take your gaze away from a computer screen if you're watching there, if you're on your phone. Then good. That's what you need is take out your smartphone. Bring out your messaging app. Keep this thing going so you can hear me if you're on the phone. And what you want to do is text. Put in a text message. So where you would put the person you're texting to just tap on that area and type in the number 661-535-1624. And where you would type in your message with all those wonderful emojis, leave the emojis out, just type in the word peak P-E-A-K and hit that little send button. So again, send a text to the number 661-535-1624 and just type in the word peak P-E-A-K. Send it off and we will announce the winner on Facebook and to you individually. We'll let you know and give you the information you need to go and grab your trip to that wonderful five star resort. All right. We are going to come back to the woman of the hour. Yes, that's right. It's Terry. And the other thing about this question, Terry - and this won't be the end for all of you watching, because we're going to bring up ways you can connect with Terry very easily right after this. And what I wanted to do, Terry, is let you know that not only is there no such thing as a wrong answer. In fact, the only correct answer is yours. Pretty intriguing. I know the wheels are turning right now. "What is this question going to be, Brian? For crying out loud. Just ask it already." Are you ready?
Terry Wildemann:
I'm ready.
Brian Kelly:
Are you sure? OK. Here we go. I know you're always ready. Terry Wildemann.
Terry Wildemann:
Yes?
Brian Kelly:
How do you. Define. Success?
Terry Wildemann:
By being true to yourself, following your dreams, following your heart. Bottom line. You need to follow your heart. You don't need to do anything. Follow your heart because you're meant to follow your heart. Follow your dreams. Don't ever allow anybody to squash your dreams. That's how I define success. Success is when you're living life on your terms, not anybody else's terms. Your terms. Got that?
Brian Kelly:
It's been amazing, amazing, amazing. Every single answer is different. No two are exactly the same. I love it. I've done - we're approaching 100 of these shows now. It's such a powerful question. And the answers are just amazing. And here's what I love to bring up because. Notice those eyes that are watching, listening. What was not there when she said what the key to success was? How would you define success? Did you hear anything about money? Maybe millions of dollars, billions of dollars. No. Didn't cross her mind. How instant was our answer? Instant. It doesn't matter how long it takes. The thing is, what was the answer and what was behind the answer? And with her, it was, follow your heart. She cares about you. That is the core of Terry, is she cares about you. So would you not want to connect with her and take it to the next step? Every one of us needs help, including yours truly. Never. You were never perfect. We never will be. Well, maybe we'll see. But we're not perfect now. We're far from it. And all we can do is strive for anything close to perfection if we can possibly even get that close. I don't think we can, to be honest. And that's OK. We just try to continue to improve. So, Terry, what I'd like to do is pull up your Web site and then maybe you could give folks ways for people to connect with you so they can have that conversation and see if you're fit, which I know you are, to help them further their life and their business.
Terry Wildemann:

I'm very fortunate in that regard. I appreciate you so much. It's just been so much fun. I cannot tell you. It's phenomenal, phenomenal.
Terry Wildemann:
It has been a lot of fun. It really, really has. Thank you, Brian. And I mean both. When you were on my podcast and we had so much fun.
Brian Kelly:

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.

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