From Survival Mode to Operating System: How Jeraud Norman Rebuilt His Identity and Business with AIToday’s guest knows what it feels like to have his entire world collapse—and rebuild from the inside out. After working more than a decade on aircraft carriers and submarines at Newport News Shipbuilding, Jeraud Norman’s life changed forever when a devastating car accident forced him to start over—job gone, house in foreclosure, and two young boys depending on him. Through that setback, every path led him back to one thing: marketing. In 2017, he founded Jeraud Marketing Group, where they turn strangers into customers using AI, automation, and paid ads. His team has helped businesses around the world—including the United States Air Force—generate more than $100 million in revenue. But today, Jeraud is here to share something deeper: how high-achievers unknowingly stay trapped in survival mode, why our “systems” reveal who we really are, and how identity work combined with conversational AI creates a personal operating system that transforms both leadership and sales. Get ready for a conversation about rebuilding your identity, upgrading your operating system, and installing the version of you that no longer needs to survive—because it’s already thriving.Connect with Jeraud Norman: FindBlindSpots.com | LinkedInSPONSORED BY: This episode of Your Partner In Success Radio is brought to you by Krisstina Wise.

What Makes Mentorship Work: Lessons from the Closers Inner Circle Podcast with Denise Griffitts and Ben Gay IIIMentorship is one of the most powerful forces in business and in life, but not every mentorship works. On today’s episode of The Closers Inner Circle Podcast, Denise Griffitts and Ben Gay III dive into what truly makes mentorship thrive—and why so many attempts fall short. At its core, a successful mentorship is built on trust, respect, and commitment from both sides. The mentor must be willing to invest time, wisdom, and accessibility, while the mentee must show accountability, humility, and a willingness to act. Without that balance, even the best intentions can collapse.We’ll explore the importance of chemistry and compatibility—how some mentor–mentee relationships click naturally, while others struggle despite the best credentials. Great mentorship isn’t about telling people what to do; it’s about listening, guiding, and sharing real-world experiences in a way that resonates. Ben brings decades of lived stories from the world of sales and leadership, showing how storytelling and careful listening become the glue that holds the relationship together.Finally, we’ll tackle the long game of mentorship. The best relationships often grow into lifelong connections, with lessons that ripple far beyond the individuals involved. And yes, we’ll also talk about what happens when mentorship fails—how to recognize the signs and why not every great leader makes a great mentor. Whether you’re seeking guidance or stepping into the role of guiding others, this conversation will give you the practical insights and inspiration to make mentorship truly work.And for listeners who want to dive deeper into Ben’s teachings, you don’t have to stop at the podcast. His entire catalog of books — including The Closers series and many other powerful works authored by him and select colleagues — is available directly through him. Every book arrives with free shipping and is personally signed by Ben Gay III.
