It is the complexity that is killing your conversations and opportunities. So I went on a bit of a rant about this one...

Did you ever see the movie Hoosiers? Do you remember the iconic scene where coach Norman Dale takes his kids into the cavernous Hinkle Field Hour at Butler University, for the State Championship game.

This short and sweet episode (less than 4 minutes) shares a counter-intuitive way to engage more deeply.

For the next 100 days, I will be giving 1 book away each day. Today we are talking about The Referral Engine, by John Jantsch. We talk about how to become "meaningfully unique" and who will be getting this copy.

Last episode of 2018, and I go on a rant about the "leg humpers" and the folks who are willing to burn relationships, all in the name of getting the almighty sale. There is an alternative way - through preeminence.

In this episode of the Stop Marketing Now podcast, we talk about that feeling (many entrepreneurs wrestle with this) of scuffling along, and not making the progress we want.
