Podcast Answer Man

This special episode is actually from my brand new UPGRADE YOUR PEER GROUP PODCAST.

In this episode, I share a conversation that I had with Pat Flynn eight years ago. Pat had joined me to celebrate the 300th episode of my original Podcast Answer Man podcast back in March 2013.

In this episode, you'll discover how Pat and I first met and hear how we made the decision to join forces in an official mastermind group alliance that began on October 8th, 2010.

Listen now to hear the story of how a single, 60-minute, meeting of our mastermind group helped lift me out of a season of depression and burnout, inspired a way of generating $16,000 in revenue within four weeks and how that lead to over 1 Million dollars in sales from a single stream of revenue within my business.

We started our mastermind group just over 11 years ago now. Pat and I still meet together, ever week, along with four other amazing members of what we call the Green Room Mastermind Group.

I hope that you are able to discover all the gold that can mined out of our conversation.

This podcast is all about helping you develop and benefit from a fuller understanding of the power behind the Mastermind Principle and Healthy Mastermind Group Alliances.

Recently, I hosted an "Ask Me Anything" session on the topic of "The Business of Coaching" and Chris Pinckley asked the following question:

How can a seasoned or veteran coach, in other words someone who already knows the coaching industry, turn their podcast into a lead generation tool effectively?

1. Talk consistently about the exact topics that your current coaching clients are bringing to their sessions. (No Specifics of the client Included of course)
2. Use the precise language that they use to describe their pain, problem, struggle, obstacle, etc.
3. Host “Ask Me Anything” sessions like this to offer a “public example” of the type of coaching you do and include some examples of those conversations in your podcast.
4. Create “Custom CTA’s” For Every Episode.
5. Prioritize getting people to your mailing list to nurture the relationship.
6. Add different price point offerings for your value ladder of products and services.
7. Invite your best clients who have experienced the most transformation to tell their story, as a guest, on your show. (They 'may' share it with others)
8. Consider creating “niche topic podcasts."
9. Be a guest on other people’s podcasts who reach your exact, ideal, client.

If you are resonating with the content that I create, you will find one or more of the following products and services extremely valuable and life transformative.

Brad Miller joined me for an "Ask Me Anything" live broadcast and asked a podcast related question.

First, he shared that he's been podcasting for five years, has published 223 episodes of his podcast and he stated that he still doesn't feel like he's achieved much traction with his podcast.

He then went on to say that he plans to reach new audience members by becoming a guest on other people's podcasts. His question to me was... "What tips do you have for me so that I can be a great podcast guest?"

Our conversation revealed the importance of knowing exactly what specific target audience you are trying to reach with your message.

Creating free content is an amazing way to demonstrate the amount of insight and value that you could provide to potential clients.

I'm often asked the question.... "How do I decide how much content to give for free so that potential clients will still hire me?"

Almost everyone is shocked when I say.... "GIVE IT ALL AWAY FOR FREE."

I explain why this is my philosophy of content creation in this very short podcast episode.

Here Is The Dan Miller Story that I referred to:

A rabbi was walking along the road after a long day in the synagogue. As he drowsily made his way home, he took a wrong turn and stumbled upon a Roman outpost. A loud voice sprang forth from the Roman centurion standing guard outside its door. With great authority, the centurion inquired, “Who are you and why are you here?”

Snapped out of his half-conscious daze, the rabbi responded, “My child, what did you just say to me?” The centurion furrowed his brow, planted his feet, and responded in an even more stern tone, “Who are you and why are you here?”

The rabbi replied with a question: “Good sir, what are they paying you to stand here?” The centurion, displaying equal levels of annoyance and intrigue, thundered back, “Four drachma per day. What is it to you?” With a smile on his face, the rabbi answered him, “I will pay you double if you would simply stand outside my tent and ask me those same two questions every morning as I depart.”
