Business is always changing, but people are not.Without understanding this, business success can feel random.That being said, there are some patterns we can learn. And, if we understand these patterns, we align ourselves with success.I'm going to dig into why and how you can build a better understanding of human nature, but first, let me give you a bit more context:
I've started interviewing niche coaches who are doing interesting work that are for hire. Today I interview a "Face Yoga" coach who gained popularity through TikTok. We talk about her process with clients and this emerging coaching space. You can check out her work here: https://www.faceyogabykari.com/ and find her on Youtube/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@faceyogabykari
In this episode, I speak with James Rores about learning Sales. James coaching teams and leaders to develop proven strategies for their sales processes, but does so with the mindset of a coach and leader rather than a huckster. I really enjoyed this conversation and if you're looking to learn more, you can find more about his company and their processes here: https://florissgroup.com/
In this episode, I talk with Basecamp and Hey email's head of Marketing, Andy Didorosi about a whole slew of topics related to marketing in a collaborative and unique new way. We focus this conversation on their recent "Dumpster Fire" email project https://hey.science/dumpster-fire/ Find Andy on Twitter:https://twitter.com/ThatDetroitAndy

Adam Jackson is the Founder of Braintrust. Braintrust is a user-owned, blockchain-based freelancer marketplace. What fascinated me about this conversation is that it sheds light on what the future could look like for user-owned networks. And, how the governance built by the Braintrust team is built that allows aligned incentives between investors, freelancers, and companies they serve. This concept is part of a larger shift to how the creator economy will function and how freelancers can create value while retaining power in the networks that they create for.You can check out Braintrust here which is in open Beta until early next year: https://www.usebraintrust.com/
Maria Falbo is the founder of Copson London, a skate and spiritual brand that collaborates with some of the world's best brands, like Vans and New Balance.

Robert Frtiz is an author, composer, and filmmaker who is known for his work dissecting the creative process via his theory of "Structural Dynamics."In this episode, I speak with Robert about the creative process and his years of studying and speaking on this topic. This episode is different in that it's less about brand/creator strategy but more about the individual process for being a creator. I've loved his books, most notably "The Path of Least Resistance" which covers his expertise in depth.https://www.amazon.com/Path-Least-Resistance-Learning-Creative/dp/0449903370
