Do you think focusing on what you can give, rather than what you can get, is a viable path to business success?

Bob Burg, co-author of the international best-selling series The Go-Giver, joins us in this episode to talk about how giving can lead not only to personal fulfillment but also to profitability. When you focus on meeting the needs and wants of others, you'll find that your own prosperity naturally follows. He draws a clear distinction between being a Go-Giver, someone who adds value to others, and a Go-Taker, who places self-interest above all else. Bob provides practical, actionable advice that you can put into practice today to ensure your customers feel like a top priority, that it’s not about you, it’s about them. Tune in and begin your Go-Giver journey now!

[00:00 - 06:04] What Makes a Go-Giver

Bob shares the story behind their book, The Go-Giver
A Go-Giver takes the focus off of themselves and places it on serving others
When you prioritize others, they feel good about you, like you, trust you, and want to be in a relationship with you, which leads to business opportunities and referrals

[06:05 - 20:24] The Go-Giver Advantage: Success in Business and Beyond

Giving vs. Giving Back: The term 'giving back' comes from a place of scarcity
If you've delivered valuable products or services that people willingly paid for, then you haven't taken from anyone, and there's no need to give back
Givers can be naturally born or developed through teaching and experience
The opposite of a Go-Giver is a Go-Taker, who prioritizes taking without giving in return
A Go-Giver salesperson actively listens to the customer's needs, wants, desires, challenges, fears, and hopes
Go-Givers are more likely to achieve success because they gain trust by putting others' interests above their own

[20:25 - 30:26] Practical Ways to Become a Go-Giver Now

Keep the focus on the other person in conversations; make it about them
Asking simple and non-invasive questions, such as how they got started in their profession, can be a great starting point
Become a connector by helping individuals meet each other; this costs nothing and adds tremendous value
Giving and receiving are not opposites but two sides of the same coin, but giving should always come first
When you create an environment where people feel valued, you build influence

[30:27 - 37:46] The Joy of Giving

Bob recognizes the impact of our actions on others, even when we may not be aware of it
Money can open doors to happiness, but it's not the key to being happy

Tweetable Quotes:

“If business is done right, everyone profits along the way.”

“When we're looking to touch the lives of many people, when we place that other person's interests first, when we act congruently with our true authentic core and we open ourselves to receiving, what we do is we create this benevolent context for success.”

“I don't think money is supposed to buy you happiness. I think money is supposed to give you choices.”

067. Devin Miller | From IP to Philanthropy: Protecting Businesses, Paying It Forward

Mon, 30 Oct 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Ever wondered how doing more in your life can lead to giving more? Meet our guest, Devin Miller, a true testament to the idea that wearing many hats can make a big impact.

In this episode, Devin shares his inspiring journey, from obtaining multiple degrees in electrical engineering, Mandarin Chinese, and an MBA, to ultimately becoming an intellectual property attorney. An entrepreneur with a giving heart. Devin is on a mission to help startups and small businesses safeguard their brands and boost their profits through intellectual property.

What's even more remarkable? Devin is a dedicated philanthropist, determined to inspire future generations of givers, beginning with his own kids. Listen and learn how he does it all!

[00:00 - 12:28] Driven and Motivated to Achieve

Devin breaks down how he’s able to finish four degrees, start his own intellectual property law firm, and be involved in several startups
He talks about his great relationship with his dad and his influence as an entrepreneur
You don't necessarily need a formal education to be a successful entrepreneur, but he believes college can instill a good work ethic and determination

[12:29 - 25:55] Unlocking the Benefits of Intellectual Property for Entrepreneurs

Intellectual property can mean one, all three, or any of the following: patent, trademark, copyright
Businesses need to determine where their value lies in order to protect their investment
The earlier you start making decisions about protecting your intellectual property, the better
Big law firms generally have a good reputation for quality but come at a higher cost
Smaller law firms may offer more cost-effective methods but require more homework and due diligence to vet them
Startups should have a plan for when to start tackling legal matters, rather than pushing them down the “someday pile”

[25:56 - 32:04] Balancing Business and Giving Back

Devin shares his family’s commitment to helping those in need
It’s important to get kids involved at an early age and make them understand that they can create an impact on other people’s lives

[32:05 - 40:38] Go Out and Give

Devin reflects on his favorite story of giving
Money doesn't always bring happiness, but there needs to be a threshold of money for consistent happiness

Tweetable Quotes:

“Rather than just rely on the reputation of the big law firm, small law firms can give you every bit as good a quality at a more competitive price.”

“I always try and strive to break it down so that it makes sense to everybody, not just to the attorneys in the room.”

“This is somebody that's in need. We don't know what their life story is, but we can still be nice. So it's been a good experience that the kids have been able to actually go up, talk with them, give them gifts, see where they're at, see what going on with their lives.”

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Fitness and faith are two seemingly distinct aspects of life, but they share a common thread - the power to transform and uplift individuals.

Today, we talk to Diana Chaloux LaCerte about her mission to make a difference and impact other people’s lives. With over 25 years of experience, she and her husband have pioneered online personal training through their company, Hitch Fit, and have helped thousands of people reach their health goals.

Check out Episode 60 with Micah LaCerte
They leveraged social media to grow their company and through the stories of their clients, they drew more people in
Over the years, online fitness became a completely saturated space but they were able to hold their ground through customization and direct communication with clients

[08:32 - 12:41] The Transformational Power of Mindset

The first step to change is shifting your mindset
Don’t see the things you do for fitness as making a sacrifice; the bigger sacrifice is the consequences of being unhealthy
Diana and her team believe in being honest with clients, helping them steer clear of negativity and stay on the right path

[12:42 - 22:45] Leading with Vulnerability

With Rock Body Retreats, they aim to connect with their clients on a deeper and more personal level

Diana reflects on her most unforgettable moment of giving
She answers the quick questions and highlights her belief that being in a fortunate position grants us a unique opportunity to make a positive influence on the lives of those less privileged

Tweetable Quotes:

“If it's coming in trying to just ‘I'm going to do a diet,’ it's not going to last. So the people that are the ones that we've seen be really successful are the people that actually had a shift happen up here in their mindset.”

“I changed my eating habits. I gave myself big goals, which for me was doing competitions. I needed something big enough to really put the pressure on me to change the bad habits and, you know, it opened up all these other doors.”

"When you lead with giving and you show that you're not afraid to give if wherever God calls you to give, you can do it knowing that he will pour back abundantly on you.”

065: Michael Unbroken | Transforming Pain to Purpose

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 11:00:00 +0000

In a society where we're often told to hide our pain, being honest and confronting our deepest pains can do more than just heal us personally – it can heal others too. It has a ripple effect that goes far beyond just ourselves and can have a lasting impact on the world.

This is what Michael Unbroken shares with us today. He was once a victim himself, but he'll tell us how he conquered his inner demons, turned his life around, and became an advocate for adult survivors who survived childhood trauma. Since 2016, he's been helping trauma survivors learn self-love and become the heroes of their own stories.

Come join us in this conversation and be empowered to embrace truth and healing.

[00:00 - 08:28] From Homelessness to Success

Michael delves into his experience with poverty, addiction, and trauma from an early age
Despite having a high-powered career, he found himself at rock bottom, feeling miserable about himself
He made a decision to change his destiny

[08:29 - 22:00] Choosing the Path of Honesty

People who come from traumatic backgrounds are great at lying; not because they want to but because they have to
Facing the hard truths is scary but it is the first step in transformation
As long as you constantly show up, you will be able to step into a new identity and create long-term change
Recognize the patterns that prevent you from reaching your better self

[22:01 - 32:08] Unlocking Trauma

Trauma can be hard to access and address, but awareness is key
We live in a trauma-forward society but there are misguided advice about it
People may need to acknowledge that something is in the way before they can move forward
The language used around trauma should be taken into consideration
It takes patience and practice to deal with trauma

[32:09 - 44:21] Healing and Giving

As someone who overcame trauma, Michael is all about giving back
His mission is to end generational trauma

Tweetable Quotes:

“I asked myself, what are you willing to do to have the life that you want to have? And the answer was no excuses, just results.”

"The thing about ‘stop lying’ means that you have to start telling the truth. You've never told the truth before. So you don't know how to tell the truth. And because you don't know how to tell the truth, it's terrifying because it's a new identity.”

"You don't necessarily need to pinpoint the exact thing, but you do need to uncover the emotional response that you have to the stressors in your life. When you can do that, now you're in this position where you can start to seek that real space of freedom."

[33:45 - 46:03] The Fulfillment of Making an Impact

Jason's favorite giving moment was surprising a Make-A-Wish recipient with a new travel trailer, cash, party, and employee donations.

Welcome to the "Go Big to Give Big" podcast with Randy Molland and Steve Arneson! In this episode, we are talking about why motivation is not enough to achieve success with Chris Thomson. Chris is the Head Coach at Student Works Management Program in Eastern Canada. Originally a student business owner/operator, he was successful in that role and got the opportunity to take on more senior positions – VP, partner – until he purchased the business in 1993. He has a long history of helping university students develop practical skills they can use to start a business. Chris and his team recruit entrepreneurial-minded students who are taught (15+ hours each January) and coached as leaders to market, sell, recruit, and run student painting and window cleaning businesses across Eastern Canada. They have over 14,000 clients annually and are growing.

In this episode, Chris joins the show to share his inspiring journey as the head coach for the Student Works Management Program. He discusses his background in teaching, swimming, and entrepreneurship, and how he seized the opportunity to buy into the program. Chris highlights the challenges of lacking a controller or admin team and reveals two business opportunities he capitalized on. He delves into the topic of the millennial generation and their drive and commitment despite generational traits. Emphasizing his own business values, Chris believes in working hard, playing hard, having fun, and being part of a results economy. He also discusses empowering VPs, coaches, and operators by asking questions instead of providing solutions. The conversation concludes with Chris and Steve discussing the power of charitable giving, drawing inspiration from Steve's wife Helen's experience with MS.

Sachin founded Sachinmotion, a movement to raise awareness and funds for veterans and first responders battling PTSD and mental health illnesses. He comes from a Sikh community with a rich history of military service, and his own experience as a law enforcement officer inspired him to advocate for mental health awareness. Despite struggling with weight gain, Sachin found solace in lifting and bodybuilding and eventually discovered a love for running. He hopes to continue his family's legacy of service by helping those who have served and advocating for mental health support.

In our talk with Sachin, we cover his journey to running a half marathon daily for a week and how he overcame mental health challenges. He started with short runs and gradually increased his distance, even though his body wasn't fully ready for a 21K race that he completed in just two months. Despite using toxic energy and negative self-talk to motivate himself during the race, he stresses the importance of consistency and effort for success. Sachin also emphasizes finding a motivating factor beyond money and shares how serving others through entrepreneurship can lead to financial freedom and success.

046: Mike Szczesniak | Building your Disciplined Self

Sun, 26 Feb 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Welcome to the Go Big to Give Big Podcast with Randy Molland and Steve Arneson! In this episode of our podcast, we are talking with the productivity teacher Mike Szczesniak! Mike is the founder of the brand called The Results Engine, and also one of the top-rated entrepreneurial podcasts called the Results Engine Podcast. And they specialize in coaching people on how to be the most productive they can, but in the most efficient ways. Essentially, he is an expert on teaching people that is not the number of hours that you work but what you do in those hours that matters.

In this episode, we get Mike to share a little bit about why it is important to do audits of your time, how you can become more productive, and also why we need to commit to the action and not the results. We also hear that Mike added a giving component to his business and the impact that it has had on him and the people around him. Mike shares his story of going from feeling overwhelmed and stuck in the corporate world to taking back control of his life and developing a healthier approach to productivity. Mike explains how he challenged his fear of failure and guilt, set goals based on what was important to him and learned to trust himself and took personal accountability for his success. He also talks about how he audits his results, sets boundaries between work and personal life and gives back through his business. This conversation is all about personal development, productivity, mindfulness, and meditation.

Listen in as Mike shares the inspiring story of how he overcame anxiety and mental health issues to become a successful entrepreneur, as well as the importance of giving back through your business.

[00:00 – 15:26] Overcoming Anxiety and Rewriting the Script on Toxic Hustle

· Mike was a software engineer in the corporate world for seven years before becoming a full-time entrepreneur.

· Mike initially avoided coaching, but his own mental health journey led him to explore the coaching space.

· Mike struggled with anxiety and panic attacks while working in the corporate world and experiencing the toxic hustle mindset.

· Mike realized that he had no idea what it meant to be productive and started geeking out about productivity.

Many people believe that they need to work harder and longer hours to achieve success, which can lead to mental health issues.
Mike believes that high-performance coaching can help people achieve their goals without sacrificing their mental health.

[15:26 - 29:24] Unlocking the Right Math in Life and Business

· People often set goals based on what society tells them to want.

Goals should have an emotional attachment to them.
Personal clarity on priorities is essential.
Being intentional and clear on leading and lagging indicators is important.

· Doing the wrong math is setting goals based on societal expectations.

· Doing the right math is being intentional and clear on leading and lagging indicators.

· Right math involves quantifying ROI.

· Take time to audit time spent on tasks to understand where time is being wasted

[29:24 - 35:30] Why Giving is Beneficial for Businesses

Adding a giving component to a business requires attachment and involvement in the charity's mission to make it effective.
Vetting charities is important, as some nonprofits allocate only a small percentage of their funds to the actual work.
Integrating a giving component into a company is easier than people think, and there are different ways to do it.
It is possible to bake a giving component into a business's margins, communicate it to customers, and charge more for it.

[35:30 - 39:59] Quick Questions

· Brag one about charity you like: Grounds and Hounds Coffee Company.

· What would get you more excited? Donating a $1 million check or spending a week physically helping others: Spending a week helping. Mike would just make it a mission to make that work worth way more than a million bucks just in helping.

· Who inspires you with their giving? Mike’s friends in the Thrive Community.

· Do you entrepreneurs should start including a giving component in their business from day one, or wait until they've seen some success and have some money in the bank? “Immediately”

· What is the first thing that you think of when you hear Go Big to Give Big: For Mike means viewing business as a form of service and focusing on helping more people. Adding a giving component can make the impact exponential, and business should be built around serving others and giving back to the community.

· In one word, describe the feeling you get when you give: Excited.

· Do you believe that money can buy you happiness: Mike believes that money can buy happiness if it is used to give back to something one is passionate about or to gift something truly life-changing to someone. He argues that money is more than just material possessions and can generate happiness when used to help others and create experiences.

Randy and his special guest Steve discuss the importance of creating a 'happiness account' and why even small donations can create big moments of joy for those in need.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation about the power of giving, how it can bring joy to both those in need and those providing help, and how listeners can join Randy on his mission to "go big to give big".

[00:00 - 15:30] The Birth of Go Big to Give Big

· The idea for Go Big to Give Big came from losing one of Randy's best friends and wanting to create more purpose in the world using real estate as a vehicle.

· Randy was inspired by an episode of a podcast featuring Cole Hatter and Chris Harder where Cole explained the concept of building a business that makes 2 million dollars and giving 1 million dollars away to be the happiest person on the planet.

· Randy signed up for Cole's mastermind and decided to incorporate giving into his real estate meetups by charging $10 at the door and making a donation to charity.

· The more people that showed up to the meetups, the more money they could donate, leading to the birth of Go Big to Give Big.

[15:30 - 29:21] Realizing the Impact of Leadership

· Scaling a business requires strategic thinking, particularly for those who wear multiple hats in their organization.

· Partnering with someone who has a different skill set can help entrepreneurs balance their approach and make more informed decisions.

· What is the first thing that you think of when you hear Go Big to Give Big: Randy thinks that "Go Big to Give Big" means that the bigger one goes, the greater impact one can have, and people should aim for making 10 million dollars per year with a giving component that gives away at least half of it.

· In one word, describe the feeling you get when you give: Pure Joy.

· Do you believe that money can buy you happiness: Randy believes that money can bring happiness if used in the right way, and disagrees with those who say otherwise. He suggests creating a "happiness account" and using the money to find joy in philanthropy.

She explains how she felt unfulfilled in her twenties and began exploring sustainability, leading her to realize that she could use her marketing skillset to create systems change with an emphasis on education. Leesa talks about how she believes that emotional intelligence is the most important part of changing the world, as it helps people be connected to themselves and others, as well as honor nature and natural systems. She also details her mission now to get her book into the school system so that kids can learn about heart connection from an early age.

This conversation highlights the importance of aligning one's skills, talents, and capital with a vision to make the world a better place. It emphasizes the need for people to wake up to the reality of the capitalist system and its exploitation of people and resources.

Real estate and investing are examples of industries where webinars can be particularly useful.
Webinars may not be suitable for businesses selling low-ticket products or products that are typically purchased on impulse.

Many webinars are approached with a "win-lose" mentality rather than a "win-win" mentality.

In the age of “gotcha” culture, people are terrified to do anything that might be laughed at. Steve Sims is the exact opposite.

In Go For Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals, Steve teaches you how to ignore what everyone else thinks and go for big, stupid, ridiculous goals. From organizing a private dinner in front of Michelangelo’s David to securing a tour of SpaceX led by Elon Musk himself, his accomplishments always start with the same questions: How far can I take this? What would make this a stupid achievement? Steve examines famously stupid goals in history, the key habits of successful people, and lessons from his career to helping you let go of your fear and get out of your own way.

If you do something amazing, you will be ridiculed until you are revered. Stop overthinking and go for ridiculous, stupid goals. Once you “go for stupid,” you open the door to the life you always dreamed about.

There is a need for more support and awareness of human trafficking, which is why INH has been working to raise awareness and provide services to victims for over 10 years.

Tweetable Quotes:

“They coined the term Buffalo because they were the only animal that when a storm hit, they wouldn't run away from the storm. They would band together and push right through it. So they would get through the storm quicker and when things get uncomfortable, it's better to face them head-on because you'll get through them quicker and be stronger on the other side. The Buffalo mindset is what we're trying to instill in kids through sport.” - Andrew Ladd

023:Dr Taryn Marie Stejskal | Enhancing Hope, Healing and Health Through The Concepts of Resilience

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Welcome back to Go Big to Give Big Podcasts. Today we have with us, Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal, the person behind Resilience Leadership.

Dr. Taryn Marie is a keynote speaker and executive coach. She’s always been fascinated by people - in particular, what allows people to be at their very best. In her quest, she has studied resilience for over a decade and a half, interviewing hundreds of people and collecting thousands of pieces of data on how we face challenges with optimal resilience, giving rise to the empirical framework, The Five Practices of Particularly Resilient People. The power of resilience has also found her as she has faced her challenges of trauma, loss, and significant learning disabilities. Believing that resilience is both the missing piece and the key to development for people across the globe, she founded Resilience Leadership Institute.

Let’s buckle up as Dr. Taryn Marie talks about how we could develop resilience and how it could help us be successful in our respective fields.

Key Highlights:

[00:00 - 07:48] The Value of Experience

Taryn’s previous roles and experiences helped her become a successful head of executive for Nike
Executives are comfortable working with people who had the similar experience to what they’re experiencing in the organization

[06:24 - 14:50] What Makes A Good Leader

Some skill sets that work for entrepreneurs cannot be applied to those working in corporate America
The five characteristics to succeed in a career:
Empathy
Lead through influence
Ability to assess threats with color
Communication
Have vision
These characteristics make good leaders and help develop resiliency

[14:51 - 28:01] Resilience: Build Skills to Endure Hardship

Resilience is not inherent in what it means to be human. It’s something we cultivate
We can develop resilience by facing complexity and challenges
The sympathetic nervous system dictates fight, flight or freeze while the parasympathetic nervous system tells us that there are more choices than those three
Dr. Taryn Marie quotes Viktor Frankl who talks about in between stimulus and response, there is a space and that space is choice.
Resilience can be developed through:
Vulnerability
Productive Perseverance
Connection with ourselves and other people
Practice of grandiosity
Practice of possibility

[29:47 - 44:39] The Power of Giving

Altruism defined
We value the things we earn
Dr. Taryn Marie talks about joining the Starkey Hearing Missions and African Community Conservation Foundation
In giving, we somehow end up getting more than what we give

[44:40 - 51:46] Generosity Means Giving More Than Just Your Money

The charities that Dr. Taryn Marie supports
Nurturing Mind
African Community Conservation Foundation
Starkey Hearing Missions
Spending money and being there physically for the community are two important things for Dr. Taryn Marie
There’s no big or small amount in giving back
Money can’t buy happiness but it can buy satisfaction and stability

Tweetable Quotes:

“We can increase our resilience, just like we can increase our cardiovascular capability, or enhance our muscles and our body by going to the gym. Exercising resilience of actually the essence of being human.” - Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal

“Quitting is not necessarily a bad thing. There is such a thing as a socket, sunk expense, diminishing returns, having the savvy and the foresight to realize that the energy that you are putting into a particular goal gets to be pivoted in a new direction.” - Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal

“I believe that money can buy you satisfaction and stability.” - Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal

011: Mark Evans DM | Giving Away Seven Figures

Mon, 27 Jun 2022 07:00:00 +0000

Mark Evans DM is a 10X best-selling author, owner of multiple multi-million dollar businesses, real estate mogul, and angel investor to countless partners.

He's involved in everything from real estate deals, restaurants, media companies, e-commerce stores, real estate developments, private lending, and everything in between.

Mark's able to run multiple companies without ever going to an office due to his business philosophy which he talks about in his book: 'Magician vs. Mule'

Mark is also a mentor to 1000's of business owners around the world.

But it wasn't always like this. Far from it.

Mark grew up in a trailer park outside of Columbus, Ohio with his parents and 2 sisters where money was a constant source of stress for his family.

He knew he wanted a better life and working a traditional 9-to-5 wasn't going to cut.

... so he went the entrepreneurial route and never looked back.

At 18 he purchased his very first company (a gutter business) for $2,000.

By 30 he was flipping upwards of 60+ homes per month without ever stepping foot into a single property.

At 40 he has his hands in over 30+ businesses, multiple cashflow streams, and has created a name for himself in the business world as "The Deal Maker" (that's what the DM in his name stands for) due to his ability to make it happen.

However, cliche it may sound Mark Evans DM "walks his talk."

He's traveled the world for 7 years straight, given away homes to the less fortunate, built an entire village in Haiti, and continues to give his time and fortune to those in need.

Mark has a business mind like no other and lives a lifestyle that most can only dream of ... but his best quality is his character. He does what he says ... and in a world full of posers and shysters ... it's refreshing to see a man keep his word and follow through. Mark is one of the good ones.

He currently resides near Cleveland, Ohio and Parkland, Florida with his beautiful 2 children, Mark & Dria, and his loving wife, Deena.

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 07:00:00 +0000

Terry Thayer is a recovered general contractor who used to burn the candle until it was a molten puddle of wax. He managed crews of carpenters, drywallers, plumbers, etc. and had to take up any slack they left behind. Until one time at a seminar he attended opened his eyes to the world of systems.

Even his hiring process is highly automated and systematized, reducing his time to hire a new employee to two hours.
