When someone hits rock bottom, they usually have a choice to make. One, they can blame everyone but themselves for what has happened to them. Many times this prevents people from moving on from where they're at. They can then choose to make the other choice. They can realize that they're actually the one in control of where they're at and make it their mission to get out of that situation and never come back. The term "rock bottom" is a relative term. Rock bottom for one person can be quite different than rock bottom for someone else. For some people, a simple habit change can be enough to help them get out of their situation. But on the other hand, the person might need a complete mindset overhaul. For today's guest, he was more of the latter. After being homeless through the ages of 6 to 16, he thought his only way to get ahead was to excel at football. When an injury killed his chances to get a scholarship, he felt stuck. Luckily, a mentor stepped up and taught him that he had a gift of communication. Ever since then, he's been on a mission to develop this gift. Doing so has given him opportunities he might not have ever considered as an athlete. Join Harrison and me as we talk with Rev. Antonio Smith Jr. about this transition and how others can make a positive impact in their community!

Anyone that has had a significant amount of success in their lives have probably done a fair amount of listening to those who have had more experience. When you're thinking about sports, for example, there's no team that has been successful without having coaches and a front office who perform well at their jobs. Likewise, in business and in the self-help world, it's good practice to take advice from people who have been where you're wanting to go. Today's guest, is all about enabling people to get out of their own way and be more successful. He does this through his podcast, on stage, and through his book "Going North!". His name is Dominique Brightmon and in today's conversation we chat about the importance of mentorship and all he's learned as a 20-something entrepreneurial educator. Enjoy!

The phrase "I'd walk in 5 ft snow and blowing winds BOTH WAYS to school!" or something similar is a pre-internet meme that many of us think of when we think of stories from our grandparents. This generation, dubbed the "Greatest Generation" saw tons of changes in their lives - from civil rights to electricity and TV in every house. Over the years, technology changed the way they lived, worked, and even played. Unfortunately, with each passing year, there are fewer members of this generation around to share their wisdom. Today's guest, and regular cohost of the show, Veronica Kirin made it her goal to get perspectives from this generation about something we all take for granted today: technology. By chronicling more than 8,000 years of life lived, driving 11,000 miles across more than 40 states, she accomplished this goal. In today's conversation, we'll be talking to her about how it all went down and some of the things she learned from the experience of publishing her first book. Enjoy!

Show notes: newinceptions.com/131 There's been a lot said about passion in the career of an entrepreneur. Some would argue that it's important to bring passion to whatever kind of work you're doing. Others would say that the work you do actually has to have part of its roots in a passion so that we have prolonged energy to do it. I would say that today's guest would agree with the second perspective. Having been very successful in her past corporate life as well as landing a "dream job", she started feeling a yearning for more. While at the time she didn't know what that "more" was, she would later find out that it was a desire for more fulfillment. She started to realize that she needed to start living her life with more purpose. Eventually finding this purpose in coaching, Tanya Conner-Green is doing work that she feels specifically called for. Can you say the same for the work you're doing? In today's conversation, we find out how she got to this point in her career and more about the fulfillment she now has in the work she does. Enjoy!

Show Notes: newinceptions.com/130 When you're first starting out as a thought leader or creative entrepreneur, it can seem pretty daunting. Where do you even start? Do you build a few products that illustrate who you are and what you can help others with? Or do you start creating an audience right away and then make a product for them later? Likewise, when it comes to getting your name out there, there are many paths one can take. You can hire a publicist, a booking agent, or in the case of today's guest, you can utilize the knowledge of someone who can help you do it all yourself. This session's guest, Millette Jones, is host of the Unstoppable Coach podcast. Through her work she helps entrepreneurs learn how their story is important and understand how sharing it can propel their business to success. On top of her podcast, she supports entrepreneurs with podcast publicity coaching, a membership site for DIY podcast interview marketing and her signature program: Podguesting for Profits. In today's conversation, Harrison and I speak with Millette to find out about her ups and downs as an entrepreneur and how you can use your own story to rise above the crowd. Enjoy!

If you're a well known thought leader, getting out a new product, book, service, or course isn't that difficult to promote. As you've climbed to the top of your mountain, there's a good chance you've met plenty of other folks who would love to share time with you about your new product. Unfortunately, not all of us have gotten to the point where we can just reach out to 50 some podcasts and YouTube channels and have tons of interviews about our new warez. However, there are folks out there that have a comparable network to those well known thought leaders. Many times they're publicists, but in this session's case, we're talking specifically about being booked as a guest for podcasts! Jessica Rhodes is the founder of Interview Connections and has been building her business by being the matchmaker for podcasters and expert guests. In today's conversation, we talk to Jessica about how this business of hers got off the ground and how she and her team can do the footwork for you in getting your message out. Enjoy!

It's true when they say leadership, influence, and business go hand in hand. If you don't have influence in your organization, company, or team, how do you expect to get anything done? Knowing what people want and what motivates them is a big part of being influential - especially when you're dealing with the higher levels in leadership. And one of the best tools, I've found, is utilizing what I know about personality types. This knowledge allows us to group people in a manner so that we can interact with them at their level. There's all kinds of tests out there which will help you find your own personality. Recently, I've been hearing more and more about the Enneagram. It seems that a lot of my favorite podcast hosts know what number they are on it. In this session, team and executive coach Erin Rocchio gives us a basic introduction to what the Enneagram is and how she she helps her clients use it. Listen in as we learn how this powerful tool can positively affect you and your organization or business! Show Notes: newinceptions.com/128

When many of us online business folks think of running an ad campaign, we immediately think of Facebook.

This is an almost a nonexistent niche. In fact, when AJ was learning about it, he realized there were relatively no search results for LinkedIn Ad Campaigns. So he's definitely the guy to know!

Show Notes: newinceptions.com/125 The saying goes, "If you can do it once, you can do it again!" This is especially true for us creative types who might see success with one project, but on our next, we might start seeing our metrics go down. This session's guest, Damion Lupo, once owned 150 single family houses as as a real estate investor. But in 2008, everything came to a grinding halt. He was no longer able to live the lavish lifestyle that he was pursuing at the time. It was soon after that he started on a quest to put more meaning into his life. In 2012, he coauthored a book called Reinvented Life, where he talks about many of the things he learned during that journey. In today's chat, we go over some of these concepts as well as some pointers that he'd give someone just starting in investing.
