Balancing Long Term Goals And Short Term Wins With Broker Hive's CEO Lyndon Hansen

A rising tide raises all ships. This is the truth and a big reason it is so important for all business owners to learn how to contribute and build up the community around them. This conversation was inspired by a challenged from Dick Withnell at a YMCA event in Salem, Oregon. At the event he challenged the audience to think about who would be the next generation of community leaders. Two people that immediately came to mind for me were Conrad Venti and Alex Casebeer.  We were able to chat on a Zoom call last week. Enjoy hearing about

Getting Started, Staying Consistent and Scaling Your Business

I’m excited to partner with my brilliant and talented friend, Loree Sanchez, every week to provide you content that will help you be a better teammate, peer, and overall influencer. Today we discuss differences between Extroverts and Introverts, including how we can best partner together.  The Jung-Myers theory describes two kinds of mental processes: aking in or gathering information and making decisions and coming to conclusions about that information.  Everyone has a preferred way of using these mental processes. People who prefer INTROVERSION  focus in-depth on a few interests, learn best by reflection, mental “practice,” and take the initiative selectively—when the situation or issue is critical to them. People with a preference for INTROVERSION reflect more, be quieter, keep enthusiasm inside, reflect before responding to questions, wait for space, be more contained, and harder to read. I’m hoping you could send me a DM on Instagram with your biggest takeaway from today’s episode. What actions will you take to help you better connect with your Extroverted/Introverted friends? 

Confessions of an Introvert

There has never been a better time to shoot your shot. You have nothing to lose. I don't mean that you should be obnoxious and spam people. What I do mean is look for opportunities to get connected with influential people and make big things happen for your community, business, and career. In this episode, I share two stories about how I made a couple of really exciting things happen in Salem based on my willingness to throw a hail mary on Twitter. Enjoy!

I'm excited to partner with my brilliant and talented friend, Loree Sanchez, every week to provide you content that will help you be a better teammate, peer, and overall influencer. Today we discuss differences between Extroverts and Introverts, including how we can best partner together.  The Jung-Myers theory describes two kinds of mental processes: aking in or gathering information and making decisions and coming to conclusions about that information.  Everyone has a preferred way of using these mental processes. People who prefer EXTRAVERSION are energized by interacting with others, are friendly and expressive, prefer to communicate by talking, and work out ideas by talking them through People with a preference for EXTRAVERSION may talk more, show energy and enthusiasm, respond to questions immediately, interrupt, and provide nonverbal information—gestures, etc. I'm hoping you could send me a DM on Instagram with your biggest takeaway from today's episode.

Teamwork Tuesday: Confessions of an Extrovert

Millennials are drinking less, and sales of non-alcoholic beer are up 3.9% on average over the last five years. Sober bars and sober parties are moving from big cities to smaller suburbs, which is leading restaurants to become innovative in crafting Mocktails. Today we talked with Shannon Standish, owners of the Yard and Bullet Proof Meals, about her decision to live a sober lifestyle in 2020 and options her staff is creating for others who are also choosing to live the sober life. I also share a bit about my decision to live two years sober after becoming a dad.  Here are two of her favorite sober recipes:Orange ginger mule 1 oz lime 1/2 oz agave 1 dash orange bitters 3 shakes cinnamon Shake pour over ice in mule Top with ginger beer Blackberry cucumber smash 1 oz blackberry simple syrup 1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice 4 slices cucumber Muddle all Shake with ice Strain over bucket glass with ice Top with tonic

Whether you are growing your business or working on a sales team, landing contracts with billion-dollar companies might seem out of reach. This perspective isn't true.

In this episode, he breaks down tactics you can use to grow your brand and stand out from the crowd. (Spoiler: it starts with believing it is possible.)

The difference in hitting your goals and not is the way we spend our time. People who are intentional with their time are intentional with their outcomes. It's so easy to be lost in the weeds and act every day without taking a moment to think about whether or not the actions we are taking are getting us where we want.  In this podcast I break down three steps that can help you define your goals and start taking action. Envision yourself a year from now. When you look back at the year, what do you want to have accomplished? What is the smallest step forward you can take towards this goal? Set a date for action. When are you going to start taking action towards this goal? I also take a moment to share a couple of my own big goals for this year. Send me a DM on Instagram, @MrJacobEspi, with your goals for the year and action you are taking. I want to hear about them!
