EP440: Isar Meitis -Top Gun- Flying F16s Prepared Me To Build A 9 Figure Business

This blew my mind because before that, I was running a 100 million dollar business and there was enough people that didn’t want to see me because I wasn’t important enough. And now I’m no one, I’m literally a nobody. I have a podcast with seven episodes, zero listenership, and this guy agrees to talk to me? How does that make any sense?”

Isar Meitis had a long journey from being a F16 fighter pilot to  becoming a branding and marketing thought leader and podcaster. Over the course of a few decades and several startups, he found himself podcasting. Three years ago, he and his business partner started a company to help other businesses use live podcasting to build relationships, communities, and nurture these as powerful tools for business scaling. Isar believes the access to potential clients that podcasting gives is incredible and that the ability to share the journey of your thought leadership is the next big thing in marketing.

In this episode you’ll learn why it’s important for a CEO to develop his own thought leader brand as an individual and use it to grow his company's brand.

You can connect with Isar on LinkedIn and you can listen to his podcast, The Business Growth Accelerator on all players.

EP436: Phillip Freeman - How To Make Your Obsession Your Fortune

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

- Calvin Coolidge

Your persistent passion, when focussed in the right direction will carve out a path to your success. Combine this with coaching from the great ones in your field and the only thing that can stop you is your self. Others might call you obsessed along the way but it’s this type of laser-focus that turns an expert into a thought leader.

Today’s guest is a thought leader in the realm of music, vocal health, and how to extend the range of the human voice, whether you’re a singer or a speaker. He’s the lead singer of the band Small Town Titans, and he’s a vocal health and performance coach for singers and speakers.

“You have to learn to see in to things versus just look at them.”

Business is a people’s game. It’s about building meaningful relationships in the context of being of service.

Listen in to hear his story and the abundance of wisdom he’s gained along the way.

EP433: TL Nuggets #91 - Focus, Focus, Focus

“Concentrate all your thoughts on the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought into focus.” - Alexander Graham Bell

“I don’t care how much power, brilliance, or energy you have. If you don’t harness it and focus it on a specific target and hold it there you’re never going to accomplish as much as your ability warrants.” - Zig Ziglar

“The successful warrior is the average man with laser-like focus” - Bruce Lee

You can take the most direct path toward success by bringing three integral things together and holding them there. This is the winning zone and it will lead you to become a specialist, surging your forward in your field as a sought after authority. Beware of the dabbler and hacker mindsets. They’ll pull you out of the winning zone and prevent you from ever becoming the champion performer you need to be.
