The Mind Your Business Podcast

Think you don't have a good story? Think again! In an age of AI and overwhelming content, your unique voice and personal storytelling are your most powerful marketing assets. But here's the cold truth: a great story poorly told is worthless. Today I'm joined by my friend, Broadway producer, story master (and past guest of this podcast), Nick Demos, as we dive into the art and science of connecting with your audience on a deep, human level.  In this episode, Nick breaks down common storytelling mistakes, how to find your "nugget of wisdom" in any everyday moment, and why getting more personal is essential for business growth. Plus, Nick shares his fascinating journey from winning a Tony Award to hitting a wall, proving that external success won't solve internal problems.  This conversation isn't just about better narratives; it's about shifting into "being thought leadership" to build the kind of connection that truly converts. Nick's journey and insights are sure to inspire, so let's get you ready to share your million stories. Plus, if you'd like to join us in person for BBD Live to see Nick and other incredible speakers, shoot me a message on Instagram, @jameswedmore, and let me know you're interested!

I was absolutely blown away after my personal session with today's guest, Tom Matte, and I just knew I had to bring his gift to you here on the podcast. Tom possesses a unique ability he calls Upsight Vision, which is the power to see translucent images that radiate from you, literally revealing the unconscious thoughts and next-level insights buried beneath the surface. I requested he ask zero questions, and over Zoom, the things he shared with me were unbelievably spot on!  Today, we dive deep into how these incredible gifts came to him, the connection between childhood trauma and unlocking this evolutionary mutation in consciousness, and why this revolutionary gift is attracting artists, musicians, and business owners alike.  If you're craving crystal-clear clarity or feeling stuck in your business, you're going to love this conversation. Near the end, Tom shares exactly how you can experience Upsight Vision in a session with him.
