Today, I'm going to talk about moving from inspiration. And what I mean by that is moving from what I, there's this whole idea of what I want to do, and what I think I should do and what the calendars got me wanting to do. And what I actually do, or am inspired to do. And I love this thought. So I'm going to talk about that because there can be a difference and purpose, perhaps there's the illusion of a difference. Anyhow, I'll get to this in a moment.Mischa Zvegintzov (Intro) You know, when someone is selling from stage, and at the end, the audience gets up and rushes to the back of the room to buy. That's a Table Rush. My name is Misha Z. And the Table Rush talk show is all about bringing you the tools, strategies and tactics that you can use to grow your audience and inspire them to buy.Mischa Zvegintzov I was just pausing just in case we wanted to have I was going to slide an intro outro in there for my podcast.  But alright.  There's this whole, I'm really these days trying to move from the space of inspiration and less from goals, income parameters.  Or like somebody messaged me, dm'd me, you know, "what are your income goals for the month? Mine are 100,000 a month".  I was driven so long in my life in my sales career with having income goals, sales goals. You know, the vision of a house or X amount a month or being number one producer or X amount of loans closed, which is all great and can be fantastic. I'm more of moving. I'm practicing not having goals. Sorry, you goal people. If you're listening, that might, that might freak you out completely. And so I'm very much in the space of... goals served me very well. And I'm sure I'll come back around to a point where "Oh, my vision is solidified." And so now I've got goals and I'm going to execute on the vision.Mischa Zvegintzov It's very clear to me right now that I'm, I'm in this learning space. So I'm trying to be easy on myself. There's... I've got a bunch of thought loops going but you know, there's the idea of the who not the how, and if you find the WHO to help you, instead of trying to figure out how to do you find the WHO to do it. You can accelerate your growth path of your company or your entrepreneurial endeavor or whatever it is you're trying to achieve. And I'm very much in this space of relearning in, in second, let's call a second half of life. You know, as I record this, I'm 50 how old I am on my 52 or three somewhere in there, I forget. But anyway, 52 or three and sort of had this massive identity shift and refiguring out... alright, what is it that I like? I have some resources in the bank, you know, so I have the flexibility of, of really... like, what what's what's moving me inspirationally, other than building a bank account making money's fun.  I'm not trying to discount that are having a bit bigger bank account and I don't want to give the impression that I've got this massive bank account. I...I do need to produce again and at some point and want to. Holy mackerel, thank you for the diversion.Mischa Zvegintzov But really again, so I had this awareness of like, Be easy on yourself, Mischa, as you're re finding out what it is you like. as far as the entrepreneurial process. like, like play around with it and find out what is the bit that I like. and then "who" out the rest.  so as I'm learning more and more about going from the old school, lead gen direct mail flyers, telemarketing campaigns. you know, some email stuff. email, you know follow up to you know. bringing that really to the online funnel world that form of direct marketing. Talking from stage I've always wanted to be effective at selling from stage and never really had an opportunity to do it. so super excited. I'm just diving deep in in on the Webinar stuff and and, you know, developing an interview style to to have it be like a webinar. you know, where, where it's inspiring people and they're taking action to buy. How cool is that on stuff that I believe in? This is the best diversion ever.Mischa Zvegintzov So again, just to stay on the goal driven versus inspiration driven, my goal is to move from inspiration. How's that? And really trust that the things that I'm doing are, what I should be doing.  how else could I say it like, I can be like, Alright, I need to execute on boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, right. But I'm not surprised. I'm not inspired to execute on those things. So perfect example, I woke up yesterday. You know, I was like, I'm gonna go start sending out invites to all these two comma club winners for for interviewing on the Table Rush podcast right here. You can also watch the it's the Table Rush talk show, which we're in podcast land, if you're listening. And we're on YouTube land if you're watching. so if you're watching, go check it out on the podcast, you can listen to your car. If you're listening in your car, you can watch interviews hopefully, at the point of this episode I've got I've got more daily riff content up on my YouTube channel. Narcissistically talking about my journey under the guise of being of service.Mischa Zvegintzov Like, gosh, how long is this episode going? I should almost have a part to my way should have been tracking how long this episode was going. So I have a specific example. That happened yesterday. It was awesome. And I intuitively I'm like, Oh my gosh, this is a turning point. This is this is a turning point. And it happened inspirationally and organically and outside of my alternative agenda. I was supposed to do X, and instead I was inspired to do X. And the inspiration has borne fruit. So I'm going to talk about that on the next episode. And as a matter of fact, there was a text that I sent, I'm going to tell you all about the text that I sent, what's come from it. And I used to DJ in my youth, I was a DJ, in the San Francisco Bay Area. And there was a song that used to be in a rotation last night a DJ saved my life. I don't know if anybody knows that song. Google it. It's awesome. I won't sing it. Last night, a DJ saved my life. But I was thinking last night a text saved my life. Or it was really I sent a text in the morning. And it's clearly a transition point. And I was like, yeah, that text.Mischa Zvegintzov You know, you hear a song. It's a turning point in your life. You send a text, it's a turning point in your life, you have a conversation to a turning point in your life. Unplanned. Right. Moving from inspiration. Alright, I'm going to talk about this text on the next episode. And hopefully, it's going to be amazing and inspiring, and not a letdown. We'll see.Mischa Zvegintzov (Outro) Thank you.

I continue the riff on Trial Closes and Future Pacing!  And give excellent examples.  I refine my card deck idea as well.  And I start it all off with a little rant of my Winfomercial.  Enjoy the day!Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov Interview number... not interviewed number three.  Let me start over. Eppersode Eppersode, episode number three recorded on zoom in a row. Most of my episodes of late had been recorded on the motive app while I was walking.  So I'm making an effort to record on Zoom. So a perhaps I can start getting these these episodes up on the YouTube channel and people can look and smile and see my Robert Plant locks.  I just showered and so so little they're a little flat right now. Go to YouTube and you can watch my look at my see my flat locks. My narcissistic go and dairy about my Robert Plant hair.Mischa Zvegintzov Anyway, this is all I just am. I'm in repurpose content mode. I'm really like yeah, I just got to be start. I've got all this content, it's time to start finding the WHO to help me distribute it out there. And so, so started doing episodes on YouTube. Wow, that's not the point of this episode.Mischa Zvegintzov The point of this episode is I wanted to tell you about I an idea that I've got and and that probably won't be done by the time this episode comes out. However, here's the idea. So along with everything that I do. All this now repurposing content that hopefully I'm in full effect with. by the time you see this.  Is helping people create their webinars, long form sales videos, what I call my winfomercial.  I'm going to interview people a certain way. So it'll be a super compelling interview that sells their goods and services. It's gonna be awesome, super informational, and super fun. The Winfomercial. Kinda like, kind of like on the radio, my friend who I just referenced on the previous episode, Glenn Lebar. Hopefully, Glen, you'll let me interview you. But you know, that's what they're doing, man. They're under the it doesn't matter.Mischa Zvegintzov Say my idea. So when you're doing... when people are selling from stage and selling from camera, or selling on webinars or selling in interviews.  A lot of times what they're doing is they are using trial closes. I was just looking up on my if you're watching this, I was looking up on my board. I've got trial closes written down. And then I also have future paces, future pacing written down. So trial closes are where you start getting people to nod their head. Oh, yeah, yeah, yes, yes. Yes. or No? Or, or you're getting agreement or? So. That's really cool, right? Like, as you're listening to this episode, you know, and and saying, Hey, that's, wouldn't it be cool to imagine if... of course now, none of the trial closes are coming to my head. But there's lots of trial closes, but you basically are, are getting people used to saying yes, and get it helps build excitement, and they're shaking their head nodding their head, yes or no.  You can also use those and then future paths to pacing as you're painting the picture of how things are going to be in the future. So my friend John Flannery, who hopefully I'm going to be able to interview is really good at the referral process. So he does sales training, trainings for for teams.  For, you know, 50 60 person sales teams.  So it could be divisions or small companies or divisions of medium sized companies. But anyhow, imagine if you had his scripts, right? His his referrals, that'd be really cool, right? Like, could you see yourself using those scripts? Yeah, me too, and making more money. Right? Like, imagine having the script in your hand, that if you used it, you knew you would make an extra.... you would increase your business by 25% for the year.Mischa Zvegintzov How cool is that!  It's cool, right? Something you'd want to have? You're in your hands, right? And then imagine, like, how would your relationships in your family be if you had an extra 25% income? So if you're making 200,000 a year, all of a sudden you've got an extra. What is that? 75,000 or 50,000. To play with? Like, is that more vacations with your family? Is that more date nights? Get a couple cool things, shiny objects. Maybe your wife likes jewelry, you get her a cool ring. She thinks you're awesome. I don't know. Get your kid a nicer car, your teenager. Waylon and Cooper, both my kids. My sons, who at the time of this recording are 18 and 20. I give them the raggedy old truck. But perhaps if I'd had used the referral scripts I could have gotten em shiny new trucks. They'd have loved me even more.Mischa Zvegintzov That's future pacing. Cool, right? Could you see yourself using that? Yeah. That's trial closes. So make cards.  I'm gonna make a card deck, a trial close card deck. And then a future pacing card deck. And then also all the other sales skills that go around from that go that go along with you know, selling this from stage. Creating your Table Rush. Like create the card decks to support that. So you can practice all the time. So that as I'm doing my episode, I've got my card deck. And I'm like, oh, yeah, try this trial close.  Try this trial close. That's cool, right? Can you see what I'm saying? Like, how fun is that? That actually sounds like fun, right? Like, truly, if you have that card deck and you could practice it, or, you know, just in your daily life on the phone. You could practice the trial closes on your wife, your kids, your husband, your co workers.  The police if you're speeding. Anyway, that's my idea. And then turn that into a lead magnet and offer it up. Sell them and see if I can drive some leads, create some excitement, and then help people sell. And lead them to my courses which are yet to be created but percolating in my mind. Right God? right universe?Mischa Zvegintzov Oh my gosh. I so want things to happen faster sometimes. And sometimes they just don't.  Sometimes it takes a while to percolate. Some people get to go faster. Some people got to go slower. Anyway. Save that for the next episode.  Love to all look for my card decks. Look for my card tags. Perhaps by the time this episode comes out, there'll b  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

The inspiration to create awesome sound bites from my interviews continues.  It leads to the idea of interviewing specific people to get specific soundbites.  I riff on who that is a little bit.  And some action I took to execute. Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa ZvegintzovI had so much fun. On my last episode recording on Zoom. I thought I'd do it again. And double bonus. There's video footage. Yay. "Hi!" waving to the cameras. So perhaps this will be. This episode will be up on Zoom or not Zoom, YouTube on my YouTube channel, the Table Rush Talk Show, go to Table Rush on YouTube and you can see the interviews the video interviews. Okay, what was I going to talk about? Oh yes, so the slicing and dicing and the creating, I've got all this long video content interviews, podcast episodes.   What could be transcripts that can be sliced and diced and made into small bits to push out on all the social media platforms. to create blog, a blog.  Repurpose my transcripts into blogs. I would need somebody that was artful at writing.  One who could shine up the transcripts. Because then those transcripts man, Misha could go all over the place. Lots of "ums" and fits and starts and likes. Anyway. I hear you know, since I was like, Oh my gosh. Like if if it got me excited... As I was thinking about being able to slice and dice interviews, I was in to creating soundbites.Mischa ZvegintzovI was like, Oh my gosh, there's all these amazing small business owners that are netting, perhaps 200,000 to 300,000 at least a year.  Netting means that's their profit a year. Right? So a small business, whether it's a brick and mortar or a coach, or or I don't know, whatever, that small business owner. And they are, after all is said and done making at least two to $300,000 a year. That's profits. Like that's good money for a lot of people. That's good, good money, two to 300,000 year. I mean, it's great money. And if you're growing from there, and there's even more upside from there. That's exciting. And so I was like, Oh my gosh, there's a lot of stories to be told from these two to 300,000 net income small business owners. Right? At least I'm just saying at least they can heck be making millions. Anyway, you get what I'm trying to say. But I was like, I was thinking as I was, as I'll be, if I'm interviewing men and women entrepreneurs, who are having success, at least at that level, they would have so many nuggets and bombs and just information goodness.Mischa ZvegintzovAnd oh my gosh, I could... if I get efficient at slicing and dicing the sound bites of those interviews or video bytes, let's just say sound byte video by video. Excuse me video clip, that's all the same. You get good at that. Or I find that "who" that can help me get good at that. And then just interview and then just pump out these amazing sound bites from these amazing small business entrepreneurs. Right? I was just like a Yeah, like Elon Musk has great sound bites or, or you know even Russell Brunson. Love you, Russell. If you happen to listen to this episode, I can't wait to meet you one day. Interview you one day. But I have a I have, you know what, where it really started to percolate. Just yesterday after thinking about the slicing and dicing of content. And then yesterday I talked to two or three good friends of mine that have really solid businesses where they're making three four or 500,000 a year net that's their profit. And that's a great business that's a great little business. And there's there's no shame in that.Mischa ZvegintzovIt just really hit me I was like oh my gosh, I've I've been skewed by by the Internet and and all this  stuff out there on social media man.  All these multimillionaires and billionaires just like...  You know there's people people that are doing really well have really good lives. And they're making 2, 3, 4 or 500,000 or more. But I'm just I'm just saying there's lots of stories out there to be told from smart people. Now that person if they've been making three, four or 500,000 a year could have a few mil in the bank, right? Gotten their kids through college.  Perhaps Ivy League schools, you know, have a nice house and a nice spot, are doing well in that regard. And there's no shame in that. And are living good spiritual lives even. Engaged in their churches, their communities giving back.  And I was like... just like, you know what... I cuz... I realized after talking to my, it was two or three of them yesterday, just he's really poignant, amazing inner conversations would just BS'ing about what they were up to how they were doing it, how they were growing their businesses, how they were generating leads. It was awesome. As a matter of fact, and I'm gonna interview him both hopefully, they if they'll Grace me, you know.Mischa ZvegintzovJohn Flannery is crushing it with referrals. Like what's, where's the bulk of your business coming from right now? His was referrals. "I've got a referral process." And he's crushing it with referrals. And then this other guy is radio man, he's buying radio time and doing am radio and he's doing the hour block interview style advice. Almost like the winfomercial. But he's crushing it. He's just doing really well. 40s and gracing the process. He started about six months ago, he was already doing very well he was just trying to do, it's like, I'm gonna try this radio thing. And I just was thinking, You know what, there's lots of good stories to be told, outside of somebody freaking posting smiling pictures on internet or adding value. Value posts or whatever. I mean, there's the there's so much content out there. So there's actually so many I'm not Pooh poohing any of that. I appreciate you listening to my ramble right now. But anyway, I'll cut to the chase. I was like, Oh, my gosh, I need to start interviewing more small business owners that are profitable, doing well, perhaps growing, having good lives out there. And, like, they've got good stories to tell. They could give great actionable ideas, because they're doing it right. And so to collect those sound bites, oh my gosh, you could just it's gonna be a fun experiment.   So there you have it.Mischa ZvegintzovAnd then so I started texting some people. I was like... I'll tell you what I said, I texted because I was I talked to my... The few people I talked to yesterday, were guy friends. So I was like, Oh, my gosh, what, what lady entrepreneurs do I know out there. And to accelerate the process, I started texting a bunch of my friends "Who are the top three female business owners and entrepreneurs that you know, that are making at least two to 300,000 net, that would be awesome for me to interview? And people started responding back. So I'm so excited. We'll see. So so many things to do. So little time. I'm trying to stay focused people. Did I cover the bases here. That's my key question... Did I Did I...  I think I'm closing the loop. But bear with me. So I just really wanted to say how I was excited to slice and dice current content.  Yes.  And then start interviewing more people to have more awesome interviews to slice and dice to pull out awesome sound bites, to push out on the social media to see if I can grow an audience. And in the case of the people that I'm interviewing, as my audience grows, it pushes interested parties towards them. Holy mackerel, so good. So excited. All right. That's it. I'm done.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

I’m inspired by my friend Carisa to start repurposing my hundreds of hours of content.  And it turns out there are a whole bunch of ways to do it.  And a whole bunch of results it can drive.  A little more on the Tools For A Good Life Summit and how powerful Carisa’s interview was.  And a brief recap of Green Vs Red activities. Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:00Carisa one of the people that I interviewed for my Tools For A Good Life Summit, went ahead and broke up our interview our interview into 20 or so, amazing little clips, which is totally given me the inspiration and the idea to start making all these little reels and things and repurposing them out there on the interweb. And see if it drives, looks, likes, subscribes, thumbs ups, Lead Magnet stuff.  This episode is me talking all about that.Mischa Zvegintzov  00:38(Intro) You know, when someone is selling from stage, and at the end, the audience gets up and rushes to the back of the room to buy. That's a table rush. My name is Misha Z. And the table rush talk show is all about bringing you the tools, strategies and tactics that you can use to grow your audience and inspire them to buy.Mischa Zvegintzov  01:04I had this idea and it's definitely not a new idea or, or haven't coming up with anything new and everybody in the world is already doing it or thinking about doing it or whatever. And I've got, you know, 60 hours worth of interviews, I've got 400 podcast episodes, or something like that, actually about 350 Not including interviews. And I was thinking it's time to start slicing and dicing, slicing and dicing that content and re repurposing it or putting it out on on all the other social media platforms. So you've got you've got TikTok, of course, Instagram rails, Facebook, regular old Instagram. But I could take...Mischa Zvegintzov  02:15What happened was Carissa, one of the people I interviewed for the tools for Good Life Summit. Such great interviews, she's a nutritionist, go check her out Tools For A Good Life Summit, she gives some great, great tips, tricks and tools on how to just maximize your nutrition for a healthy mind. Not to get ripped.  Or not to have the best body in the world, by all means go do that. But this is more for energy, maximizing your energy and stabilizing your moods and stuff like that, which is what I wanted, I wanted somebody to have the summit to speak to nutrition to stabilize your moods. To have a healthy mind, energy, body.  Not to be lean as hell and starve yourself so your emotions are pegging all over the place. Not that that happens to anybody. I tend to get hangry anyway hangry you know, hungry, angry hangry.  Ahh a bit of a distraction. But she asked me to slice and dice up her videos, so she could use different sound bites to make ads, because she loved all the points we covered and the energy that was created in the in the interviews. So I did that for her bites, or something like that, you know, most of them a minute or less anywhere from five seconds to one minute long. And it became very clear Holy mackerel. Like I could take all those clips and with a little bit of work start putting em out on social media. And and start seeing if if that would grow my audience, as well as point people to the Tools For A Good Life Summit from those clips.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:35So I've got 20 interviews on there.  I could do the 20 free interviews slice and dice and let's say I could get 20 sound bites from each interview. All the sudden I've got 400 sound bites, video clips. That's a lot of content to post and drive traffic and grow an audience.  And then I've got 20 of the VIP interviews, you can check out all this all these interviews, of course, at www.ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit.com. You can register for free, and get access to the 20 General Admission free session interviews. And then if you buy the VIP pass, you get lifetime access to all the video interviews, including the VIP interviews, where I go deeper with each of the speakers. And then there's mp3 downloads, the transcripts, gifts from the speakers, all this cool stuff. But I could take the 20 General Admission interviews, slice and dice them and say, hey, if you'd like that sound... or whatever point that soundbite people can click on the, you know, your bio (static)... Summit. And then I was also thinking, Oh, my gosh, the VIP stuff super good. You know, could slice those dice, slice and dice those all the sudden I've got 200 or 400 clips. And I could use those to point people and encourage people to buy the VIP pass.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:20So that's a ton of content to push out across the platforms and see if it grows my audience and grows. click throughs. So I...  Duh! people are doing this in mass. But I was thinking, oh my gosh, I have been creating content for a year. And I really have not done much to promote the content. And you know, the other thing to do is to get start going on other people's podcasts and YouTube channels and things like that. So I just think how funny is that? I'm late to the party, but very excited to, to, to start to repurpose some interview, some of the interview and podcast content. And then the other thing is, I send out a weekly email now, I could turn that into a blog. Right. So and then I could take the daily transcripts of all the podcasts, and perhaps edit those to a daily blog as well.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:43So I've got all this content. So which leads me to a dilemma. This is the dilemma. This is the rest of the story. Do I start to do it myself? Or do I find out who to do it for me? Do I want to invest in the WHO to do it for me? Because it could be you know, it's resources. It's to pay somebody and but I was thinking man, if he somebody good who could lop a 30 minute video interview into 20 pieces of content that'd be pretty awesome. Could be a cost effective way to go. So more will be revealed... If you'd listened to it a couple episodes ago I was I referenced tightening up my calendar and and working more with my calendar and daily activities. You know, green versus red, green or income producing activities. Red are let's say administrative paper pushing activities or busy work.  You feel like you're gaining ground but you're not so it's establishing what are your green which your green activities versus your red activities and then you calendar the green activities and you do those no matter what. And you turn off your phone.  You turn off your distractions. You lock your door. You you know close the blinds.  You get those green activities done as their calendared.  But I was going to calendar perhaps an hour a day of of content creation.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:33How does Gary Vee say document don't create. I still haven't figured that out. But anyway, there you go. So more will be revealed on that. Perhaps look for a barrage of daily content from me. Perhaps! And perhaps I will be finding somebody to help me slice and dice the videos. Podcasts. Excuse me. Finding the sound bites. But very excited. I think it's exciting. I'm very excited to A) see if it drives traffic. And B) If it drives click throughs to the Tools For A Good Life Summit. Okay, that's it. Have a good day people.Mischa Zvegintzov  10:21(Outro) Thank you. Thank you for listening to this episode of the cable rush talk show. For resources to help you sell your stuff.

The importance of running a calendar and time blocking.  I learned the technique from Todd Duncan when I was a home loan officer.  Are your activities income producing?  Or shuffling paperwork to look busy?  I break down some examples for you from my days in the loan business.  When the calendar comes to a green activity you do it.  You put down all other activities.  I reference a simple little script that increased my business by 25%.  Could you imagine?Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:00On this episode, I am going to talk about the importance of running a calendar. And time blocking, and how powerful running a super solid calendar and time blocking can be, and how I've been super loosey goosey for a bit in regards to my calendaring.Mischa Zvegintzov  00:28(Intro) You know when someone is selling from stage, and at the end, the audience gets up and rushes to the back of the room to buy. That's a table rush. My name is Misha Z. And the table rush talk show is all about bringing you the tools, strategies and tactics that you can use to grow your audience and inspire them to buy.Mischa Zvegintzov  00:55So of the many things that I was very good at over my 20 years sales career, you know, putting together lead lists, to market to.  Creating flyers to get the phone to ring. Systemising the answering of the phone call, what to say, niching down. Most of this was in mortgages, by the way.  And finding niches within mortgages when I talk about niches. And then there was one concept that was introduced to me. His name was a Todd Duncan.  Anybody's heard of Todd Duncan, he was a trainer of like a motivational trainer for loan officers. Wells Fargo actually brought him in. Back in the day, you could subscribe to the Todd Duncan, whatever methodology but Todd was great. And he had the way he talked about calendaring was read time in green time. Lots of people talk about it in different ways. But this was when it took took hold for me. And so you look at your calendar and your activities. You start by looking at your activities. Are they income producing? Or are they shuffling paperwork? Are they income producing? Or are they shuffling paperwork if they're income producing their green time activities. And if it's pushing paperwork, and oftentimes that's necessary, behind the scenes stuff, of course, that has to be done. That's read. And so you schedule all your activities, and then you do your best to hold to that calendar.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:00So for example, in mortgages, I, I at one particular point, I would corral all the new houses that were for sale. And you could get it through the multiple listing services. I'm sure many people have heard of that. And that's that's a questionable way to do it. But a lot of people do it that way. Moving Companies. Like trucking moving companies, they'll pull that data, a house cleaning people will pull that data. There's all sorts of companies that pull data on houses that are for sale. And so you can also these days and also back in the day, you could pull data on houses that were for sale, there were websites, and I can't remember what there was was like zip something or I can't remember what the precursor to Redfin and Zillow was. but there was a precursor to Redfin, Zillow, realtor.com, although realtor.com has been around forever, zip something or coyote something? I can't remember what it was called. But it was public access information. It was a public site. So all the information was there. And you could in effect... so what I would do is I would download. Well, there's all these ways to to scrub that information. And so I would time block the scrubbing of that information. So every Monday, pull the new listings. Cool thing about Zillow. And Redfin is you can pull listing all across the country houses that are for sale in all different sorts of markets. If you really want to get creative, you can go find out who has the loans on those properties. You can do find out who's got phone numbers on those properties. You can do all kinds of stuff that are in my skill set that have been dormant for many, many years. But are starting to percolate and come back to life.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:29Anyway, I think you get what I'm saying. So you time block the downloading of the of that data, or you hire somebody to do that for you. And then you know, there's your prospecting. So I did a ton of telemarketing, ton of telemarketing. So I time blocked my telemarketing times on my calendar. Time blocking is an income producing activity, you time block callbacks. Callbacks are income producing. So you Sorry, I got distracted, I was just thinking of... as my brain is starting to go back to all this amazing sales stuff in content and all these things I used to do and systemize one of the really cool things... I had the script. And I can't remember if this script was from Todd Duncan, or another guy, I still have the sales, the home mortgage sales. It's like on CD, it was burned on the CD, a program by this other mortgage guy, he was really good. But nonetheless, I came across the script for how to ask for referrals. So awesome little script, super quick, super easy. And when I implemented that script, into my business, it increased 25%. I saw a 25% increase in my business. So could you imagine having a simple script like that?Mischa Zvegintzov  07:18And oh, kids, parents, this is awesome. Love it playing Chase. Sorry about the diversion.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:26Could you imagine implementing a simple script, it was like three lines, that would increase your business by 25%. So for me that was like going from $300,000 to what's 25%? That's like another $80,000? That was an $80,000 implementation tool. Imagine what that would do for your life? Like, is that a new house? Is that cars for your kids? Is that a year of college? Anyway, perhaps one day I'll, I'm going to find that script and put a link in there. Great script though. Asking for referrals. Add that in your system. So I believe you get what I'm saying here.Mischa Zvegintzov  08:15There's time block on your calendar, red and green activities. And you go to the green activities, no matter what. Stop whatever administrative stuff you're doing. And when that your calendar comes to that green activity on a Monday, you do it. When your calendar comes to the green activity. On a Wednesday you do it. You don't answer the phone calls. You don't react.  You do your activity. And that's another huge piece of it is the reaction. Like how often in our businesses, are we reactive? Am I reactive, and it takes me away from the core income producing activity that I have scheduled. And as I talk about this, my... I'm shifting from my core as a stay at home ish dad wandering with intention. For for the last five or six years up until the last year or so.   My green income producing activity was making sure I was available for my boys and stuff did not take precedent over that. And now I'm shifting out of that. My 20 year old moved out as of this recording, he moved out a year ago or so or more. My 18 year old is super independent. So there's a few activities with him that are on the calendar that take precedent. Mischa Zvegintzov  09:58But I'm reevaluateing now, what are my green income producing activities? Perhaps you're trying to create leads, or perhaps you're trying to create social media content. Whatever your green is, calendar it.  So every, every monday, tuesday and friday from two to four. This is that green activity that I do, as my father used to say, "come hell or high water". Anyway, so that's what I am doing right now. I'm re looking at my calendar, re looking at what I'm up to what I'm trying to create, my vision.  What are my green activities that I need to calendar. And encourage you to do the same. Love to all.

My eyes have been opened.  I had always thought of influencers as endorsing products.  But it turns out, there's this whole army of influencers that are telling you to buy the product.  And some influencers are really good at it.  And what's cool about that, is that they're so interactive and engaged with their audience that they don't need that big of a following.  I go into more details in this episode.  The influencer sell sight I mention is https://about.liketoknow.it/Administrative: (See episode transcript below)The influencer sell site I mention in the episode:  https://about.liketoknow.it/WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript:Mischa Zvegintzov 00:02Did you know that influencers out there right now influencers on Instagram, Facebook? And now there's actually cool... Well, they're probably already always has been, but I have... My eyes have been opened to cool apps, websites where that are designed for influencers to help sell the products that they promote.  And there's one gosh, I wish, I'll throw the link in the website. It's like idk products dot com  Here is the site https://about.liketoknow.it/), or something, I don't know, I'll throw the link in the in the show notes (https://about.liketoknow.it/).Mischa Zvegintzov 01:00But influencers are looking for products to sell. Influencers want to sell products.  Like that's what they're doing. And some of them are really good at it. Some guests like, show the product and then throw the link in there, you know, in the comment section or, you know, swipe up or whatever. But some actually apply sales strategies and tactics. Sales strategy and tactics over and above a link in the comments section. They're actually going to put in the comments, features and benefits, things like that, or talk points or other things, you know.   Talking points to help sell and they will actually encourage you to buy.  Or they're in their video, they're going to encourage you to buy. And they're going to have offer a deal if you buy within, you know, 48 hours or two weeks, or whatever it is.Mischa Zvegintzov 02:27There's a dog, I'm walking by a dude with a weed blower.Mischa Zvegintzov 02:34So my eyes have been opening up to this whole world of what's going on on that side of things in the sales world. The E commerce e commerce side of things. I mean, there's the my original, you know, understanding is Kim Kardashian wears a pair of sunglasses, and then she might be doing more of this, but I don't follow Kim Kardashian, but just have an idea of the major influencers that come to mind. You know, whether it could be Matthew McConaughey as a movie star or whatever, you know. That they will endorse a product. It's more of like a product of endorsement. Matthew McConaughey wears the cool sunglasses. People seeing him wear the sunglasses. Then people go to find the sun glasses so they can enjoy the life that Matthew McConaughey has. So an endorsement. Yeah, that's a great way. That's the word that comes to mind. I'll think of it that way.Mischa Zvegintzov 03:51But it turns out, there's this whole army of influencers that are telling you to buy the product and have special carts created. website landing pages, carts, the spot where you can buy the product.  L ike they're telling you to go to that cart and buy that product. And there's usually a discount offered in a certain time frame. And some influencers are really good at it.Mischa Zvegintzov 03:51And what's cool about that, is that they're so interactive and engaged with their audience that they don't need that big of a following.Mischa Zvegintzov 04:45So I think when people will all speak for me, my eyes were opened up I was always thinking of influencers on the endorsement side of things. So if you want to A massive following because it's all about eyeballs. But if you find the influencer that's engaged with their audience and selling, like actively participating in the sale, they only need 3000, 5000, 10, 15, 20, 30,000 followers. And how cool is that? I love that right. So cool. Imagine having an idea of a product itself, finding an influencer, offering them an affiliate pay structure, 20% I don't know. I don't know how the numbers work these days, but we'll just throw a number out there 20%. Or you could do graduated, like a scale. Sell this many. You get this much. When the sales get to this amount, your commission goes up. A lot of you listening again might be like, "duh Mischa". Well, I am like, wow, there's this whole amazing world out there. And I'm in the 2TCCX. Alison Prince is really good at this stuff. Alison Prince is really good at this stuff. Google Alison Prince, one L. She's the master. So she...Mischa Zvegintzov 06:40I'm in the Two Comma Clux X which is Russell Bronson's high end, not as highest end because he's got inner circle and then he's got category kings. But it's the inner circles like 50,000 a year his category kings is 100,000 A year.  His 2CCX I think these days is 25,000 or 30,000 a year or something like that. Anyway, I'm in his 2CCX. And I get to jump on classrooms and trainings and get to interact with some of the best internet sales people. Some of the top people in the game, right. I'm not gonna say the best in the world, but I some really, really good savvy people. There's obviously a ton of people outside the 2CCX and Russell Brunson. But I have landed in the Russell Brunson ecosystem. Because he's really good at what he does.Mischa Zvegintzov 07:47Anyhow, Alison Prince is in there. She is on the E commerce side of sales. There's like E commerce, e commerce, e commerce world if you wanted to break it in the two worlds. E commerce which is physical products, supplements, beauty supplies, widgets, whatever. And then you've got expert. The expert side is where you're selling information. You are an expert. And you have consolidated the information into courses, coaching, things like that. And sometimes, those two things meet in the middle. So Alison Prince sell is a master at building e commerce, businesses, as well as she's got her whole expert coaching.Mischa Zvegintzov 08:47This has been a super fun episode, I had more to say than I thought. Anyhow, I'm going to end with this. There's really cool ways to... Alison, what Alison shows you how to do is come up with products quickly and easily. To deliver to influencers to self. How cool is that? Now this could be a distracting shiny object for me. But I just want to say that the key takeaway for me is there are influencers out there that are good at selling. Like engaging their audience to buy.  Directing and encouraging their audience to buy. I hadn't really found many or seen many across my radar. But once I started looking strategically, they're out there. And I think that's super cool.Mischa Zvegintzov 09:54All right, enough. Click on the links, buy whatever I'm selling. How did it deteriorate to that. I want to I'm going to practice I'm going to consciously practice more future pacing and trial closes. So imagine imagine how cool your life would be if you could quickly put together a product that an influencer wanted to sell. And, and you could make extra money from that, too. That's not the best job of feature pain? I'll let you fill in the blanks. It's really cool though, right? Could you imagine? Right? It's like it sounds super easy, right? If you practice and tried that, how cool would that be? Like to me it's awesome. Do you think it's awesome? Anyhow love to all.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

I talk about my creative process.  How I get the idea, then I can fall into avoidance.  And the seemingly Herculean implications of the next indicated step.  How I get through that.  I throw in a couple recent examples. “Oh! “It sounds like this is your creative process.”  The symptoms of such.  I’d just rather not do it.  “Make the choice!”  Mischa throwing a fit; unfortunately for good or bad, is part of my creative processAdministrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:00An episode... this episode is going to be on my creative process.  Yes, my creative process. Enjoy the intro whichever it happens to be. Hopefully by this episode, I've gotten the new Table Rush intro together.  But if not, I will be talking about after the coming intro, my creative process and how you can, if we can be aware of our creative process how that can help us so much.Mischa Zvegintzov  00:35(intro) You know when someone is selling from stage, and at the end, the audience gets up and rushes to the back of the room to buy. That's a Table Rush. My name is Misha Z. And the Table Rush talk show is all about bringing you the tools, strategies and tactics that you can use to grow your audience and inspire them to buy.Mischa Zvegintzov  01:02I'm back. Hope you enjoyed the new intro Table Rush intro if it was indeed there. The creative process is interesting as I it's being aware of my creative process is interesting and very helpful. And what's helpful about it is I see the pain loop piece of it.  I get the inspiration. There's things that I want to do I want to create. And then it gets very painful to get the next indicated step.  Usually I'll get to a point where there's a next indicated step that's incredibly painful. And I fight it and kick and scream at it. And gosh, that could take months, years perhaps, or weeks or perhaps a day. But usually the bigger bit of... the what I perceive as the riskiest creative point...  Right? Perhaps need to put myself out there.  Or the implications of getting that next indicated step. Or, or feels so great to me that it's a Herculean effort to get through it. And I'll kick and scream and do everything else under the sun then the next indicated step.   And psychic pain, finally I kick and scream. Go deep into prayer and meditation, turn to God, source, whatever, I give all this to you. What am I supposed to do? How am I gonna get through this? I'm just screwed. And usually it's like, why don't you just do that next dedicated staff that's sitting right in front of you. And then freedom awaits.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:13And I was I have two big examples of it. One fairly recently, the summit and a feedback people people kept telling me oh, it sounds like this is your creative process. Oh, this looks like your creative process. And since I just went through this bit of my creative process with the Table Rush in the questionnaire, listen to the last episode, or couple episodes ago. Anyway, the questionnaire in the outline was fighting, next steps and all the turmoil it created in my life. Like should I stick with renaming the podcast? Which should I do? Who's my avatar? No, no, no, no, just ahhhhhh! I'm comparing myself to everybody and I start to get frustrated and resentment start to creep in and holy mackerel. I'm hearing I hope you are to please Jesus. I hope you're human too. Anyhow, this summit brutal man I you know, I turned what? In the best case scenario is a three month process seemed like it seems like a lot of people do it in six months. For me it what turned into nine months or something like that. That there was so much psychic pain of getting to incremental next steps. And so much messy action that needed to be taken. So it was committing to a headline committing to a summit name. Finally reaching out to the speakers you know...Mischa Zvegintzov  05:00The getting to the point of reaching out to the speakers was so painful, so painful, like psychically painful. Like I wanted to quit multiple times. It's actually...  I was recently wanting to quit the 2CCX, as I was trying to get the questionnaire together and figure out my offer and all that.  Because I have I know what I need to do for the offer, I just need to do it. But it's the next indicated steps to get there. Or I'm like, I'd rather just not do it. But the summit man, if you go back, what there six months were almost every day of episodes where I was just beating my head against the same wall. And what, at the time in hindsight, it was... what.  In in the moment, as it was happening. It just felt like I was slogging through mud. Like, "all right, I can next little step is done." But then the next step, I'd be like, I want to quit. And when I finally made the choice, you know, got through...  anyway, a lot of psychic pain, a lot of wanting to quit a lot of upheaval. And the feedback I kept getting, as I was talking to mentors, and things, my one mentor, John, who I talked to every week. He's a powerful spiritual adviser in my life. He just kept saying, Oh, it sounds like it's your spirit. It sounds like it's your creative process. It sounds like it's your creative process.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:44I'm like, Damn, you mean I get to be good through the psychic pain. Each time I get to be creative on a big creative project. The answer is "yes". So I this episodes a little all over the place, as a lot of them, but I hope I'm making sense.  And bear with me... As I had clarity on as I got to the willingness to make the questionnaire which implied next steps of putting together get early, getting putting together the offer, and getting the questionnaire out to people.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:29Again, this is about how I can help you create a video sales letter and or webinar and or interview... based... what I call the winfomercial so I have this process, we go through the process, then we spin up a winfomercial.  Where in effect I interview you and your natural amazingness comes out. You can point traffic to that product. And yeah, start bringing in some leads and some sales. Like an evergreen ad. And then also we can do retakes as we, you know, there's round one, let's get it done, and get it published. And then refine it. Well, I'll give the opportunity to do a couple of refinements to it. retakes. And also you get the asset at the end to slice and dice however you want, and have really cool content. And depending on how I see your you know what best serves you either we edit me out, or perhaps we might be in there as a foil to you. So we'll look and see what the best way to have that is.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:08Anyway, back to it. So that this is the ultimate goal of what I'm up to. need to have an offer around that. need to start finding customers for proof of concept which I am doing. but it's a creative process. super painful. The creative process was I go with this, so I encourage you to to so I was like oh I don't actually need to quit. That's just my emotional state. As I'm in my creative process, I start throwing a fit. Mischa throwing a fit; unfortunately for good or bad, is part of my creative process. I start stamping my feet at the universe. way away. I don't want to do this. No, wait. I'm gonna quit. Make it easy for me.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:58Anyhow, so you Yes, it's getting shorter though. So that was a really cool thing. The summit...took me an extra four or five months due to my fit throwing. My bouts of massive insecurity, etc, etc. This part of the process of the pain loop much shorter, I'm sure there's more creative pain coming.Mischa Zvegintzov  10:30I have one final example and I'll let you go. Way back in the day when I first got clean and sober... You know, there's, there's programs out there and their steps and all sorts of things.   and ah, you know, if you apply the tools for sobriety, you can get tremendous relief and freedom. But how... and I would consider that part of a creative process. I would, I would liken it to the creative process. And that how I kicked and screamed at some of the required steps of the framework. And when the psychic pain got bad enough, by the grace of God, I capitulated which means I threw in the towel I surrendered.   And was like, alright, I'll do that required bit. And, you know, that can be a couple year process. Oh, goodness, hope that makes sense. How is your creative process? Shine a light of awareness on it. And then perhaps you won't quit before the miracle happens. I'm done. Peace out. Cheerio.Mischa Zvegintzov  11:54(Outro) Thank you.

Yes, I did publish the last two episodes.   We need to be reminded of the basics.  Do the next indicated step.  What platform do I create the questionnaire on and then how do I deliver it?  As soon as it was clear that I had momentum and it was going to be done the next steps opened up.  The next indicated step frees me to commit to the “Table Rush!”Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:02The last two episodes were quite volatile with my emotions it seems.  Very curious to see if I've published them when I get to this episode. I, my coach Vince likes to remind me that one of the great things about well, two things, one is that we need to be reminded, as entrepreneurs, or whatever we're trying to do, we need to be reminded of the basics. Here's a reminder of the basics. Here's a reminder of the basics. And the next indicated step is such a great reminder, do the next indicated step. That's what I'm going to talk about on this episode. And then there was something else what was it? Oh, yes. This is funny. The other thing, which I'll talk about a different day, or perhaps this episode, is he reminds me that information has become commoditized. And the skill set that we can bring to the table is organizing information for people. That effectively all the informations out there a lot of it free, truly, or just about free. So being able to organize it for people and help them get through it is a is a skill set.Mischa Zvegintzov  01:58Yeah, so the next indicated step was in a bunch of turmoil trying to decide on the last episodes if I published them, but alright, what am I doing with this dang podcast and YouTube channel? Am I committed to Table Rush? Or am I going to stay strong with the Bitch Slap ...The Accelerated Path To Peace. And a lot of that turmoil was i by Tuesday, by the or by Thursday, by the day of this recording, on my to do list with my other coach, Coach, Stephanie. I'm all coached up. Was to have my questionnaire completed. I was creating...I am creating a questionnaire for my, for the, for people that I can help get their webinars and video sales letters together. So I created a questionnaire to gauge where they are, so I can meet them where they are, and then see if I can help them. And yeah, so that I've got, of course, I waited till the last minute on that. Pretty close to the last minute, I'd actually started. You know, over the past, I had two weeks to get it done. And I could have got it done. Day one. But I waited. I did over the two weeks start to look at how I wanted to do it. Was it going to be Google Forms? Was it going to be an alternative delivery method? And then ultimately, what I put it in a funnel? And should I start in a funnel? The question was, do I create the questionnaire in the funnel? Turns out, at least in Click Funnels, it's more effective to create the funnel in an alternate alternative application. And then you put the HTML frame into your funnel. So it in effect looks like it's created. And click funnels. So step one, well, step one, figure out delivery method. Step two, take action. And that already written out or penciled out, and another program notability the general framework of it with most of the questions. So anyhow, I just needed to get it into Google Docs and was it gonna hire someone to do it or learn how to do it and now Next time I'll hire somebody?  So I decided to do it myself super glad I did. I can hire somebody next time... or... I see the power in creating questionnaires.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:12Anyhow yesterday's turmoil was what am I gonna do? Like do I want to go old podcast name different avatar? Or you know different objective for the avatar? Let's say that avatar equals perfect customer. So I think I'm shifting objective of the perfect customer. I like that that's a great way to say that.  Same avatar new objective. Ooh, that's good. Or maybe same avatar in a different space?  I don't know doesn't matter. All I know is this as soon as I was pretty much completed with the questionnaire... and it took all day yesterday and I've been working on that a little today as I still have till noon pacific standard time to get it done. But for all intents and purposes it is done just doing little minor editing. But as soon as it was clear that I had momentum and it was going to be done the next steps opened up. Or the vision for next for next indicated step coalesced and I think that's so cool and so powerful. Mischa Zvegintzov  06:47Which also leads me to... I want to talk about my creative process.  And how the the the creative process... the shortening...in a good way.  Meaning the time from inspiration to creation and fruition... the pain loop shortening.  There's pain in there for me.  So there's your open loop.  Anyway, back to the next indicated step. Mischa Zvegintzov  07:17Once I had that the Google Form questionnaire done effectively my mind was flooded with new inspiration for Table Rush for interviewing next steps and it was not towards Bitch Slap and God bless the Bitch Slap it was like a Bitch SlapI got one hey don't forget focus on the next indicated step it's the next indicated set man I was future tripping and and all sorts of psychic pain. When get the next indicated step done. So as of this recording I am committed to the Table Rush. The Table Rush perhaps marketing and sales show. It's definitely going to be Table Rush tagline not sure yet. Oh, marketing and sales talk show. And in brackets, bracket... in bracket, pitch section...exit bracket "The Table Rush marketing, sales, marketing and sales Talk Show and pitch session". Or it might be build your way. Selling one to many something like that. I don't know definitely Table Rush enough out of neon babbling. Future episodes are going to be organizing information as a skill set. And what was the other one? Can't remember.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Table Rush.  Tools For A Good Life SummitSomeone comes to me for life coaching via the Tools For A Good Life summit.  It may be just my future self who is on the journey with me. Who do I want to help…my hand is being forced? Wait a minute, the summit kind of worked.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:01I do want to say to kind of cool oh, sorry, part 3.  Am I staying with pitch slab? Or am I going with Table Rush? Goodness gracious. I just had this amazing thought stream and it disappeared.Mischa Zvegintzov  00:27Oh, a person that is in the middle of a divorce was asking me for help. She's like, Hey, I'm trying to figure out what to do next. You know, I need to get a job blah blah blah. And and I was like well, I'm kind of... and she came to me from the via the what do you call it the the the summit. The Gools For A Good... excuse me... via the Tools For A Good Life Summit. And I was like, Well, I've kind of shifted directions to helping business people or whatever, blah, blah, blah. You know, this Table Rush thing. And fast forward to today past few days as I'm like, What am I doing? Who am I trying to help? Who is this frickin avatar? Like? Who? Who?Mischa Zvegintzov  01:35I'm walking in traffic recording. So dangerous.Mischa Zvegintzov  01:42What am I trying to say here? Thanks for listening per usual. I appreciate you. I do. I appreciate you being on this journey with me. And maybe it's just the "my future self" that's on this journey with me. It's a funny thing to think about, isn't it? Or my previous self from a month behind who's on the journey with me, I think you get what I'm saying? Or not, it might be too esoteric for you.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:14So this person was like, Hey I need some help, kind of finding a vison forward. And I'm like, Well, I think let me refer you to someone else. Because I've got nothing put together to help. And she wanted some coaching.  Literally was asking me to provide coaching. And I was like well, I got no coaching. But I guess it's kind of what I'm trying to do through this whole process is put together some courses to create some coaching and create some evergreen courses. Anyway there's a few other people that could use a little help with their direction moving forward and finding their "why". I see now that a lot of people are questioning getting their "why" that are in some psychic upheaval.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:22So awesome. Will these become episodes? And what will the name of my podcast and YouTube channel be? Assuming there's a YouTube channel when these episodes go live? It's very exciting.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:44Definitely distracted by the cars and the people walking big dogs. Okay, back to it. Stream of conscious.  "Hey" big dog.  That is a big dog. My gosh beautiful big dog.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:07Okay.  So the question is this. the question is this.  "How do I start from scratch and put on new summits new challenges to reach the fledgling entrepreneurs who are a year behind me?" Perhaps Yeah, a year behind me. Or do I reach out to the divorced dads, divorced moms or just divorced dads who are perhaps five years behind me? Some serious rambling.  Let's come back to center. Big breath in.  Long breath out.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:21So what I was gonna say after this five minute and thirty second intro was... The summit worked to pull together some people and bring a coaching client to me.  And I realized just a day or two ago like like really hit me.  "Like wait a minute. Like the summit kind of worked."  Not as in a bigger scale as I want but a couple of people literally reached out to me directly like someone I've never met and then a couple people that I do know indirectly.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:19And then also over the last couple of weeks some new leads have trickled to me through the summit. So people have registered for the summit and now they're in the queue.  so my the what I'm questioning is.  Is if I stuck with that plan... stuck with that idea... like I'm still... I'm not far enough away from it that I can't get back to it and not be distracted by the shiny object of Table Rush. I can put together a measurable questionnaire that I've already created I can clean it up it's super cool. That could be my software to. Wow. Holy mackerel kinda cools things could come from that. Just hits me as I'm talking about this.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:38A lot of activity this morning. Dogs barking. Thank goodness. Will this be an episode? Welcome to the entrepreneurial journey, people. Welcome to the entrepreneur...my... Mischa's recent entrepreneurial journey that sure does seem to be self serving. Holy mackerel, who knows?Mischa Zvegintzov  08:08Anyhow, it's like my daily diary that's just exposed for the world to see. How fun is that.  At some point, the five year for me now is just going to be so dialed in just these concise episodes that are... your three step process to this five step process to that.  Oh my gosh is ludicrous. Anyhow, I think you'd get what I'm saying.  Thank you for listening. I appreciate you. Thank you for being a part of my process.Mischa Zvegintzov  08:52So I'm standing in traffic. I'm going to try and get to the point to set you free from this episode. But I think perhaps a "find your why coarse" or a "find your why challenge" is definitely an order. And perhaps I don't need to rename everything. And I can let go of my fears around...  Ah who knows? Who knows more will be revealed PEACE OUT  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

In my coaching group we are encouraged to have the idea of out perfect customer; an avatar.  My avatar is the me just a little bit ago and I’m not sure if that helps.  Two of the things that brought me into the current coaching program I’m in were #1.  The idea of creating a Virtual Summit.  So I successfully got that done.  And #2 creating a webinar.  Now how am I gonna get that done?  and I wanna help people make webinars.  Help them the their stories.  And maybe I do want to go with the Table Rush idea.  And more!Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:01Part Two.  Staying with Bitch Slap. I was on a call recently. Team call on the two comma club x with Steve B Steve BartaLesko or something, one of the coaches. You know, it's like, I'm stuck right now. I'm trying to, you know, suss out this new avatar, my avatar or what have you.  And trying to come up with an offer and and. First question I'd asked him was about best way to get a questionnaire online in a funnel. And so he showed me, so that's super cool. So I got that dialed in, then the next question was like, hey, I need to come up with an offer. I've been flying around, I got no offer. I don't. I'm not sure of like if I have something to offer people. And Steve said, alright, do a challenge. You'll get blah, blah, blah, blah. Your avatars that is the you just a little bit ago. Tthe you just a little bit ago.Mischa Zvegintzov  01:21I'm like, All right. The me just a little bit ago, well, there's the me that was re entry into business land. And then there was so that was a year, year and a half ago, trying new things. As far as business stuff. And then there was the me four or five years ago, who quit his sales job and then became a stay at home dad. And that was me finding new success. So this morning, I was like, Wait a minute. This... you want to create webinars, you want to help people create webinars.  You haven't created your own webinar yet. How do we fast track that process? Or how do we it seems like it's premature, perhaps helping somebody with a webinar. Since I haven't technically made one myself, but I really want to do one, I really want to make a webinar, I really want to learn how to sell from stage. I'm great at sales on the phone. I'm great at sales. Direct response, so get the phone during like send out mailers, things like that. So that's cool, and I can help people with that.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:01But I definitely... the couple things that pulled me into the 2CCX were the idea of creating a summit. So I did that I saw that was like I want to do that I want to create a summit. And so I jumped into Russell Brunson eco system, even deeper. And the other thing I saw was this idea of a webinar. Sell with a webinar.  And so I'd seen webinars back in the mortgage days, when I was in mortgages. I was I was great at selling direct to consumer various ways. I was not so good at getting realtors to work with me from stage. I could call them directly and get him to work with me or develop relationships that way. But this idea of having, you know, pitching a group of Realtors from stage to get them to want to work with me as a loan officer, was very intriguing to me. And I'd had a couple of fits and starts opportunities to try that. And I'd stumbled across a webinar. And it started you know, this idea of putting together workshops and things.  As many people have. There's a whole thriving industry it turns out. Russell Brunson, Armand Morin, and those things. And I actually was just remembering some of the big like pitch pitch sessions I would go to where they would sell you the, the products at the end.  Like the stadium style.  Like the 3000 seat you know, pitch session. Blankety blank's coming town with with the 20 speakers and in hindsight I see how all of them were selling.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:12Anyhow this is just great. This is great great fodder. Gosh I hope it's being of service. But anyhow. I, I, Yes... So wanted to, you know, create a webinar that's very alluring to me. Hence the Russell Brunson being on webinars and selling from stage. He's great at it. So in we go to the to C, CX, and now I'm like, Oh, my God, I could help people create webinars, you know, by interviewing them and helping them tell their stories and things like that. I'm good at sussing out those stories.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:17Wouldn't it be funny if after I was done with these, this series that I was like, oh, yeah, I'm sticking with table rush. You never know. I'm just doing what they say record. Try to be of service. Anyhow, I see that I want to create a webinar. I want to help people create webinars. But perhaps I'm a step ahead. Perhaps I need to get a bunch of people that are a couple of steps behind me onto the track to create webinars as I want to. So maybe I should keep the Table Rush idea. But I do like Bitch Slap. I don't know. I need to have this all sorted out by Thursday by my coaching call on Thursday. Anyhow, I already have a questionnaire made up for, in effect, somebody who's in a bit of upheaval, on the direction in their life. So it's like oh, my gosh, I could I already have that questionnaire made on a zero to 10 question. Like a grade.  Like zero to 10? How happy are you zero to 10? How much fear are you in zero to 10? You know, one being you know, "scared shitless", too being. "Oh my god every moments amazing. And I can't wait to see what's next". I've already got that created. One of the hard things about selling psychic healing is "Is it measurable?" So, can we have something that's measurable. And I already created it back in the day. When I came out of one of my "What am I going to do with my life?" exercises. I had the 90 day meditation bootcamp and part of that was this questionnaire.Mischa Zvegintzov  08:57It was pretty cool and pretty extensive. And it was going to be to to help you know gauge your before and after.  Like your mental status before and after. And it hit me as I'm trying to create a questionnaire for people, what stage of business that we're in. So I can help them create their offer in there. In their...  in their...  what am imy trying to say. Create their, you know, webinars and things like that. So then I can meet them where they're at. I think you get what I'm saying. So it all kind of hit me a little bit earlier that I could, oh my gosh, I could circle back around to that avatar that me four or five years ago who was ready to make a big change? And then I could use the... use the, what's it called that questionnaire that's measurable. The zero to 10 scale, there's a term for that zero to 10 scale type of questionnaire. It's like the Guggenheim question, Guggenheim format or something, I'll look it up. But I could use that as a before and after. So I could in effect, go out to people who are discontent at their careers. Maybe it's divorced dads? Maybe it's just people who are discontent in their careers? I don't know I'm gonna meditate on that. And use that questionnaire, as a baseline for happiness kind of a thing. I think you get what I'm saying more will be revealed. Suffice it to say that it'll be interesting to see where I am. When I go to edit this episode.

I’ve been tasked to commit to the pod cast name by tomorrow.  I’m confused on what offer do I make.  I’m hyper aware of my fits and starts, distractions, and open loops on my podcast episodes.  This walk is a reflection of my current state of mind.  Lots of noise, lots of things not going how I want them to go.  Interviewing people to help them with their webinars may be a premature idea. But some ideas are percolating.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:00Okay, people, I cannot believe I'm doing this. I am going to stick with Bitch Slap ...The Accelerated Path To Peace and quit chasing the shiny object.  Yeah, that's what I'm going to talk about on this episode. So listen to the intro, and then I'll get to it.Mischa Zvegintzov  00:25(Intro) You know when someone is selling from stage, and at the end, the audience gets up and rushes to the back of the room to buy. That's a Table Rush. My name is Misha Z. And the Table Rush Talk Show is all about bringing you the tools, strategies and tactics that you can use to grow your audience and inspire them to buy.Mischa Zvegintzov  00:52Here I am getting to it keeping the Bitch Slap ...The Accelerated Path To Peace podcast name excuse me Yeah, it's gonna be Table Rush. Still love that idea. Maybe I'll make a Table Rush YouTube channel. I'm gonna see if I can make a Bitch Slap on YouTube channel. And yeah, hopefully I can... babbling and blathering but... I was just been thinking, you know, in my meditation and my prayer and such and doing the A Course In Miracles and all that trying to move from source...  Let's see if I can get some cohesion in this episode.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:06I was tasked to I was tasked to commit by Thursday, which as of this recording would be tomorrow. So this is a Wednesday as I record this, but I was tasked to commit to the new podcast name and Table Rush it's all about business. I am confused on an offer throw that in the mix. It's funny as I transcript I transcribe a lot of a lot of my episodes these days. Yes, I transcribe my episodes I use otter.ai works pretty good but allows me to do it in bulk and I transcribe a lot of stuff I realize how many fits and starts I have how all over the place I am lots of arms. I also really get to see how I'll change directions won't finish thoughts. Start new thoughts open new loops. which is either good nor bad it just is what it is. But that's going in the back of my mind. It's so it's like alright, stick with a cohesive thought. thank you for that diversion. So I've really been feeling the external pressure to have an offer. And yeah, to have an offer.  And boy... Lots of lots of confusion and confusion. Lots of...Mischa Zvegintzov  04:18I may have hit record prematurely.  Yeah, so I want to... Oh my gosh, this is gonna be the best episode ever.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:41Okay. I love business. I love lead gen. I love sales. I love the satisfaction of when someone says "yes, I want what you've got to offer" as far as a product was concerned. And I wasn't really seeing how that was going to fit with Bitch Slap. What was I going to offer? And I went to Funnel Hacking live and then you can hear all this as well in previous episodes. I went to Funnel Hacking live had all these great conversations about about businesses. Business Strategy, who am I helping? Who were you helping. Lead gen all this stuff? And then, so I was like, Oh my gosh, it's the business side of things that I love talking about.  And and then I clearly see how people have frustration and getting there... If, if they feel the need to get content out every day. They have a hard time getting content out every day.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:13I had to hit pause a couple of times. That loud noise in the background is the tree chipper chipping people as they're putting their trees.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:26This Walk is a reflection of my current state of mind. Lots of noise, lots of things not going how I want them to go. Won't that tree chipper just stopped being so loud? Won't the confusion in my head just go away? Won't the answers just come clear?Mischa Zvegintzov  07:03So two things I was tasked to do by Thursday... So yeah, Funnel Hacking Live. You know, I was like, Oh my gosh, it's the business side of things. Goodbye to the divorced dad. Goodbye to the divorced parents.  Goodbye to, to, to these things. It's all about business and the winfomercial, helping people make their webinars.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:30That's right. That's what I was talking about. People are stuck at the webinar, or they're stuck at the people get stuck at various places. When it comes to putting yourself out there. I seem to have no issues currently doing podcasts every day. "Come hell or high water" as Sandy Z used to say.  That's my father, who passed away God bless him. Yes, so I was like, "I'll help people get their webinars done with an interview process".  Which I think is a great idea. I could perhaps be a bit premature and that I'm not sure. But that's one of the shiny objects. And the other thing was to have this questionnaire done. For...  I was to have two things done by Thursday. Tomorrow. Commit to the podcast name slash YouTube channel name, sister channel name.  And have my questionnaire webified. So I've got a questionnaire that I was going to send to people that maybe are stuck in the in the webinar creation phase.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:07And oh my gosh, I am just so distracted. Here comes the wood chipper. Again. I'll publish this episode.  I will!  Just suffice it to say I'm going to end here because I could blather on for for seemingly hours.  That or all intents and purposes, it seems as if the Bitch Slap name is going to hold. I've had a vision which I'm going to talk about in a couple episodes coming up. About questionnaires. About being able to pry provide proof of success. It turns out I created something already. That is an awesome template I believe for proof of success for let's say, divorced parents, divorced moms or dads who are looking for new success in life. Looking for their new path forward in their career slash business. Okay,Mischa Zvegintzov  10:24(Outro)  Thank you. Thank you for listening to this episode of the cable rush talk show.

And I am very, very blessed today to introduce everybody to Dr. Ian Hoffman. Welcome Dr. Dr. Hoffman.Ian Hoffman  00:35Thanks, Mischa glad to be here.Mischa Zvegintzov  00:36Yeah, fantastic. So we chatted very briefly, maybe a week or two ago, when we were setting this up. And, and it's a big gift from for me to have you on here. Because whether you know it or not, you are a massive inspiration for me. And actually, ultimately, the creation of this show, because via mutual friends, you know, I started getting introduced to funnels, webinars, all this stuff. And, and, and this mutual friend was like, oh, yeah, you know, my buddy, effectively, Ian you know, has just doing amazing stuff. And I was just captivated. Right? I was like, "Oh, my God".  This is a two to three years ago. So to have you on. Super awesome. So thank you for joining.Ian Hoffman  01:27It's my pleasure. I'm so happy to hear that.Mischa Zvegintzov  01:29Yeah. So real quick. You have a you have a, a program, and it's called the Student Loan Eraser. Correct? Yeah. Fantastic. And so go ahead. Tell me quickly. Tell me about that. And then let's, let's talk about how you how you came to that and were able to bring it to market?Mischa Zvegintzov  01:54Sure. It's definitely a passion project of mine. You know, how it's a there are, I just feel like it was it was what I was put on this planet to do right now, which isn't an amazing feeling. So I'm actually a chiropractor to get into backstory. Yeah, dad's a chiropractor. Both of his brothers are chiropractors, I was born into that also. And I love being a chiropractor. And so what happened was, I was man, like three years into practice. My son was just born, I just came back to the office after taking a couple weeks off. And this, this pregnant mom came in as a new patient.Ian Hoffman  02:37And she brought her four year old daughter to the appointment. And this little girl had stage four cancer. That's the first thing that this mom said to me is my, my little girl. I lost it. I couldn't. I couldn't imagine no parent should have to go through that no child should have to go through that. So to make a long story short, that little girl really inspired me to actually start a nonprofit organization, a charity to expand access to chiropractic and holistic health care for underserved in my community.Ian Hoffman  03:09And as I was going through that process, it was right around the same time that I was really doing some research online about my student loans because I have a lot of debt. I remember having this. I hope I can say this this "Oh, shit moment."Ian Hoffman  03:28Because I remember I had I had just bought a house and between my wife myself, and our student loans, our cars, our mortgage, we had over a million dollars in debt. And that's a heavy weight? That's a heavy weight on somebody's shoulders. Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:44So how old were you at the time? Oh, man,Mischa Zvegintzov  03:47I'm 29, 30 years old. 30, 31. Something around there? Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:55And a young child. That's, that's heavy.Ian Hoffman  03:58Yeah, it was heavy.Ian Hoffman  03:59So when I started reading about this federal program called public service, loan forgiveness... I... I... My heart kind of skipped a beat. I had first read about it before I had even had this idea to start a nonprofit. And so there's only three requirements. But one of the major requirements is that you have to have qualifying employment, you have to work for the government or a nonprofit, to be eligible. And then once I had started my own nonprofit, I had this kind of Eureka moment that I might have reverse engineered my own eligibility. And that's exactly what happened. So, you know, fast forward a couple years from there, I wound up starting the student loan eraser, I put together this whole team, and we help doctors start charities with a dual purpose, which is to make the world a better place and get their student loans erased.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:52That's amazing.Ian Hoffman  04:54Thank you.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:54Oh, my gosh.Ian Hoffman  04:56Yeah, it's been quite a process. The transition wasn't easy. I was in practice full time, coming home, you know, having dinner with my family, they would go to bed, I'd be up till sometimes two, three in the morning.  Writing the webinars writing the emails, just getting the infrastructure together reading.com secrets.  Just feeding my, my, my my mind and getting educated on how to launch an online program because it's something I'd never done before.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:22So So you have the Epiphany, you're like, oh, my gosh, I can I am, you're in the middle of creating this nonprofit, you, you. You, you find out.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:34Here's a way for me to erase my debt, which if you don't mind me asking, What was that number for you? What was the chunk of that of your total debt?Ian Hoffman  05:42I borrowed around 150,000. And it was only going up because most doctors are on an income driven repayment plan, where their monthly payment is actually less than the than the debt, or I'm sorry, less than the interest. And so what happens is that on these income driven plans, they'll pay for 25 years. And at that point, anything that's left is forgiven, but the forgiven debt gets taxed as income. And so once once I heard that I'm like, Man, "this is a this is a black hole".  Because I'm gonna just pay for, you know, till I'm 5560 years old. And at that point, I would still have a six figure tax bill.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:27And you're at the 40%, maybe the your, your, whatever, the gradient tax bracket is 40%. SoIan Hoffman  06:35Oh, yeah, that's in California. So between federal and state taxes, it probably would have been closer to 50%.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:41Man.Ian Hoffman  06:42Yeah, crazy.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:43So we're talking about a real number here, perhaps 75,000 Plus, or since it's actually your debts incrementally growing, because you're paying less than the than the amount? You know, you've got 200, or whatever that number is?Ian Hoffman  06:58Yeah. So I tell most people to think about it, like their mortgage, over 30 years, whatever your purchase price is for, you know, on average, right? Interest rate plays a role, but most people are going to pay double, whatever their purchase price was over 30 years.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:13Yeah.Ian Hoffman  07:13And so that's the way I was thinking about my student loans is, if I borrowed 150,000, over 25 years, you know, it wouldn't quite double because I was making payments, but all of the monthly payment was going to interest only I wasn't, I wasn't actually taken care of any of the principal.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:31Yeah. So you have the reverse engineer moment. And, and your in the fire, right of this million dollar debt load, I've been there and it's heavy, right? That's a heavy load. When you're trying to build a business. You're, you've got a son, a son, right? That's that. Yeah. And so trying to balance, like, time with family with the, I get it. It's heavy. I've been there. But tell me about the moment of that. You go, oh, my gosh, a reverse enginer? Did you was it like an overnight epiphany? I could help people with this... And then or was that a slow build?Ian Hoffman  08:14It was it was an overnight epiphany. And then the infrastructure was a slow build.Mischa Zvegintzov  08:18Okay. Ian Hoffman  08:18Russell Brunson says it's, "it's the who not the how." So I needed to find the right people. You know, to put together the team. I needed to write the webinar.  I needed to really feel confident that at the end of the day I could deliver on the promise.  Because I know how much my student loans caused anxiety for me and sleepless nights.  And I didn't want to help anyone take that on; without really being certain that we could help them reach that goal, at the end of the day, of starting the nonprofit and then being able to qualify for you know, public service loan forgiveness. Yep. So it took quite some time.Ian Hoffman  08:19You know, it took me about a year and a half after starting my own nonprofit, to feel comfortable enough with the process to build the team because I'm not a lawyer. I'm not a CPA. I don't you know, I don't do those things. Yeah, so I need to...Mischa Zvegintzov  09:13Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:14So the we throw... love Russell Brunson, right. I love his Dot com secrets, expert secrets, all that stuff. I'm in his his high end coaching group so thriving in there.  But what about finding that like what what what was the journey to alright, I can help people.  How did you stumble across Russell Brunson? Or was that just was that like someone said, Oh, you have this great idea try this guy? And you're like okay.  Or is that was that a? Was that a rocky transition.Ian Hoffman  09:46I think that's the genius of Russell Brunson and his marketing. He's really good about getting in front of the right people at the right time.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:52Yes. Ian Hoffman  09:52You know what I mean? I don't even know how I came across his material. I'm sure I was just searching online for you know how how to "how to launch" or "how to write a webinar", "how to do an online program". And I had come across other you know, other teachers actually before Russell Brunson. And it's really funny. One of the people that I wound up doing a little work with early on, even before Russell Brunson, is Bailey Richert.  And I wound up hearing her on a podcast and then reached out to her and I did her in for infopreneur Institute, I think is what it's called. Yes. That was fantastic. So I had other mentors along the way. But you know, and she was she was fantastic.Mischa Zvegintzov  10:08You do her Summit, and all that, or No?Ian Hoffman  10:47I didn't do her Summit. But she has a an online training. You know, that teaches you how to go from I think almost nothing, just concept idea to just step by step how to how to get your first online program launched.Mischa Zvegintzov  11:04Yes.  Okay.Ian Hoffman  11:06So I did that. And it was fantastic. It really helped me to clarify my vision and who was I serving and those kinds of details.  And then it turns out later she wound up working with Russell Brunson. So brand and so it's a really small world in the online marketing space.Mischa Zvegintzov  11:24Yeah, fantastic. So so your entry into Russell Brunson land was was Bailey Richert your you take her infopreneur whatever it's called Academy. And, and that's how the idea for the webinar starts to come to fruition and use and you start crafting it there, then you end up in Russell Brunson land is that the?Ian Hoffman  11:48The timeline is a little hazy. Because I was doing a lot of things all at the same time. I was trying to educate myself. So I read a book. Also written by a chiropractor, I'm blanking on his name, but it was it's called social media made me rich. And I read, you know, I was really just trying to I was listening to podcasts, reading books, I was really just trying to trying to get an education on this space. So and at the same time, I was even... I live in Carlsbad, California. And there's an amazing podcast called... Oh, man, I'm blanking on the name of it, too. Anyway, there's an amazing podcast on I think it's the "online marketing made simple" or "Made Easy podcast". But she she teaches webinars and her strategies. And so I've gone through multiple iterations of my current webinar. Ian Hoffman  12:56I did probably eight or ten live webinars. Recorded them all made little notes. Figured out what questions people were asking, tried to, you know, answer those questions in advance as I kept going. And then finally got to the one where we had a really great response as far as sales and people staying to the end of the webinar. And that one eventually went on evergreen.Mischa Zvegintzov  13:21Fantastic. And so is this what we would call a high ticket webinar. So you're trying when I look at your webinar, or your landing page? Yes, reserve my seat now. Great news. It what? I'll tell you exactly what it says plus get a free phone called conflict consultation at the end of the web class. So you're driving phone calls? Or is your... Do you have a do it yourself? Course? A all help you course, I'll do it all for you course?  What's your...Ian Hoffman  14:03I only have one...Ian Hoffman  14:04It's it's not a traditional funnel from the standpoint of like... I only have one offer, and that offer converts. And so really, it's $5,000 to $7,000. And at that, that price point, I think that most people...Ian Hoffman  14:21I've had a few people who clicked an ad, they watched the webinar, and they signed up without ever talking to me. And that's super cool. And I was excited about that.Ian Hoffman  14:32But the truth is I wanted to also be able to qualify my clients. And so I don't mind jumping on a 15 to 30 minute call with prospects to really get a feel for who they are, make sure their hearts in the right place with all of this. I'm sure that we would work well together. And to answer their questions, make sure that they know that there's a human behind this you know.  So My funnel now is different. It changes over time, right? But my funnel now basically is register for the web class, that is the most important first step, because I want people, frankly, to be pre educated before they jump on the call with me. I want them to be able to ask the right questions to at least have a basic understanding of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.  About their student loans. About ways that we can help before they get on the call, so that when I get on the call answer questions, then it's a simple conversation of, you know, what's going on? How can I help what questions you have? Let's address those and then sign up?Mischa Zvegintzov  15:40Yeah, yeah. Ian Hoffman  15:41Yep.  Answering all the questions that that you know, you know, the top questions or the top, in sales line, let's call it rebuttals. Right. Ian Hoffman  15:41It saves me a lot of time. Because before I was spending between 30 minutes to an hour with each prospect, you know, sometimes multiple phone calls going over the same material. And that's where a webinar is really helpful in in kind of pre educating. And doing the sales process for me.Ian Hoffman  16:10Right.Mischa Zvegintzov  16:11But let's talk about it from it's more from a service standpoint, though, you're like, hey, I have this vision. This helped me, I want to help you. Not only are is it helping you the doctor, because it's saving you money and clearing debt and relieving stress and all this stuff. At the same time, you get to have a passion project and help the world right? We get satisfaction of the world. Yeah.Ian Hoffman  16:34Yeah, for sure. Most most doctors that I talked to, are already doing some form of this.Ian Hoffman  16:40I think most people got into health care, because they want to help people. You know that that's been really beautiful for me to see, as I'm talking and consulting with doctors. And it doesn't matter what the degree is dentists, chiropractors, naturopathic doctors, you name it. Most of them are already providing some level of discount or free care for, for people in need. And, and so they're just not doing it through a nonprofit. So we formalize that. We formalize their way of giving back, and they're able to qualify for student loan forgiveness as as a result.Mischa Zvegintzov  17:16That's amazing. I love that. That's, it's amazing. I just think it's my favorite thing. My goal is to help people help people, right. I'm like, I'm like, and so to hear you talk about the win win win scenario. That's like the best in the world right now. And I think that's what's genius about Russell Brunson, too, right. He's like, Hey, man, entrepreneurs are the people that are gonna save the world, shall we say, or make it better? Right?Mischa Zvegintzov  17:44And, and to have that win win win situation that you have created, or the universe helped you create, however you want to say it? Is, is beautiful. And inspiring. So thank you. I have a quick question.  Your frustration? Well, I want to start with the who, what? Not the how, because that's such a powerful concept. Building the team, and you set it like it was easy. Oh, yeah. I just needed to build the team and make this happen. Yeah, well, no, maybe you're like, I'll do this myself. And quickly, you realize this is going to be a here a Herculean effort. I need help or tell me about that sort of process?Ian Hoffman  18:26Sure.Ian Hoffman  18:26Well, I mean, I, I think it's a matter of, of taking inventory and knowing yourself and your strengths and what you're good at and what you enjoy. And also, what do you not want to do? What do you not enjoy? What what lowers your energy. And so for me, I love writing. So writing the copy, writing the webinar, that...I enjoyed that process.  But I didn't want to take on even the the the responsibility of filing these tax forms with the IRS and filing the articles of incorporation. And that legal work is something I knew nothing about and didn't really, I wasn't motivated to learn. So it's also it's also that is finding out, you know, where are the gaps between where you are and where you want to be.  And then filling in those gaps, either by educating yourself and then doing it or if you find that you're not motivated, you need to find someone else who that's what they do. So, so I wound up originally working with the the firm that started my own nonprofit, I brought this to them and they said, great, and we brought that to really to, to the scale that they could handle. They were a smaller firm, and then I wound up finding a bigger firm to work with and, you know, wound up transitioning over.  But yeah, I mean, I think that's the process is just knowing yourself and what you love and trying to to do that.Mischa Zvegintzov  20:03Okay, did you formalize that? Or was that all sort of intuitive for you? And when I say that I mean, did you? Were you like, Did you literally sit down and write out? Okay, this is what I'm good at. This is what I need help with? Or was it? Yeah, go?Mischa Zvegintzov  20:19I didn't do that I really, I wrote out kind of the curriculum and the steps of "what's the client's journey?" Right.Mischa Zvegintzov  20:30So once I, once I really went through the process of, okay, here's my modules, here's my, my, my system, my formula for the big promise of start a nonprofit and qualify for student loan forgiveness. What are the steps that people need to go through along that journey to really get that end end result that I'm trying to promise people? And then I was able to really clearly see what part of those steps can I teach? What can I help people with? What can we do for them? And then what do I need help with? You know, where can I fill in the gaps with other services?Mischa Zvegintzov  21:09Hmm, beautiful. Thank you. That's it. Thank you for that. Question in regards to Avatar. You mentioned that and everybody watching and listening avatar is "speak" for "your perfect customer".  The "the exact person you want to work with". I know for a lot of us, for me, that's an elusive concept, or can be shifting or, or the conversations I keep having are make it super narrow. And so I'll go super narrow, and then the people that are telling me to go narrow, inevitably say that's too narrow, or I get so tell me about your avatar process.Mischa Zvegintzov  21:47Totally. I'm a big believer in you know, for me personally, it was it was a little easier, I think, than some because I am my avatar.  You know, I was a doctor with six figures of student debt. And you know there are doctors with multiple, many multiple six figures of student loan debt. And so my avatar was was really anyone who... they I've worked with people that are not doctors, but really my avatar is anyone with over six figures of student loan debt who has a has a service based business.Ian Hoffman  22:28So, that's, that's the most general avatar. But the people who have the most student loan debt naturally are doctors and lawyers.  You know, people who went to grad school. So that's, that's where it went.Mischa Zvegintzov  22:28Okay.Ian Hoffman  22:28But the reason it's so important to have an avatar is because, um, you know, along this process of building a funnel, building a business, one of the most important aspects of that is where am I going to get traffic? How am I going to put my ads in front of the right people? And so for me, I know I can get my ads in front of chiropractors, naturopathic doctors, dentists, physical therapists, osteopathic doctors.  You know, those are my vertical markets. And in unless you have that avatar specifically drawn out, it's really hard to target.Mischa Zvegintzov  22:28Hmm.Mischa Zvegintzov  23:20And then then the ad process just is too inefficient. It did you can't you? Is that a good way to say it?Mischa Zvegintzov  23:29Yeah, absolutely. I mean, who wants to pay for ads that go to the wrong person that's not even interested? Or a qualified lead?Mischa Zvegintzov  23:37Yeah. Yeah. How was that? How was the do you do the ads? Or did you bring in? Did you bring in a who to do that for you?Ian Hoffman  23:46I've done both what I what I tend to do in my journey, my learning process is I want to learn as much as I can and try it myself first, and then hire an expert, so that I know what questions to ask. I know, I can get to a certain point, they better beat me. You know, they're going to get better results than I did if they're doing this as a professional. So you know, that's just how I am. Yeah. So that's how I started. I did really well, early on in Facebook ads. But then it became complicated because Facebook changed their marketing policy really related to student loan type advertising. And yeah, I mean, that people talk all the time about Facebook slaps and Google Slaps,Mischa Zvegintzov  24:30Google slaps. Yeah. You had one!  Tell me about it...Ian Hoffman  24:34So yeah, it happened. And so then, you know, again, it's the who not the how I didn't want to become a Facebook ads specialist on top of everything else I was doing. So then you find the right team who can get you back where you want to be.Mischa Zvegintzov  24:46And so was that a? Was that an overnight crack on the side of the head like your business effectively shut down?Ian Hoffman  24:54I wouldn't say it shut down.Ian Hoffman  24:55So that that is actually the power of having an email list. right? So that's where I'm really glad that I was collecting emails for people who joined my webinar, because there were a lot of people on my email list who didn't bought who hadn't bought. And so what I was able to do once traffic shut down, you know, as I was working on getting that back up with ads... I had an email list of about 4000 Doctors by that point. So I really started emailing my list more frequently.  And getting them back engaged and, you know, sending them more information.  And really just being more active with that. And that was able to drive sales for a considerable amount of time, as you know, rebuilding the apps.Mischa Zvegintzov  25:44That's fantastic. So let's dive into this email list a little bit. Are... You have a nurture campaign, which means do you email consistently? Or is it? So there's that question? And do you outsource that process that process or tell me about your nurturing of your list?Ian Hoffman  26:07Yeah, I don't outsource that... I do... I enjoy writing. That's one of the things that I enjoy. So for me, and I think those emails are so... those are really important. And I want people to get that kind of information directly from the source.  Directly from me. So I don't I don't hire out for that. And I also...Ian Hoffman  26:35I can probably be better about this. But when there's news when there's, you know, especially in 2021, there's been a lot of news, political news related to student loans.Ian Hoffman  26:53President Biden has already raised billions of dollars of student loan debt that President Trump never did for people who have, you know, for example, who were defrauded by their schools. And their schools shut down... they didn't get the you know, their degree. Or for people who have a total and permanent disability, now they can get student loan forgiveness. And so I follow these these things in the in the world of student loans. And I send, you know, information as it comes up to my list.Ian Hoffman  27:17One of the most recent developments in the world of public service loan forgiveness is that... before there were there was a very low acceptance rate into the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. Hovering around 2%, actually, which is terrible. And that's because yeah, there are three requirements to qualify. There's actually four different types of federal student loans. Only one type qualifies for this program. There, there are like nine different repayment plan options. Five of those are income driven repayment, those are the ones that qualify.  And then you had to have qualifying employment with the government or nonprofit.   Ian Hoffman  27:57And the student loan industry is so complex. I personally believe it's designed to confuse so that people overpay. I mean, that's just that's just what it is. Right?Mischa Zvegintzov  28:08Yes.Ian Hoffman  28:08So unfortunately, unless people have done the homework and the research, like I did to say, most people don't even know what type of student loans they have, let's start there. So 15% of PSLF denials were because people just didn't have the right type of student loans. And they weren't being told that there's a free process that can turn any of the other types of federal student loans into the type that qualifies.Ian Hoffman  28:32So that's the first step with my program, I look at what type of loans they have, what repayment plan they're in, and we make sure that they meet those first two requirements. But because the program was so messed up... recently, there, I think it was President Biden or the administration said, "we're gonna we're gonna, you know, wipe away those first two requirements".Ian Hoffman  28:54So now any type of student loans and on any repayment plan, as long as you're a government and nonprofit employee, you can qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness right now. So they actually made it easier than ever before, to to enroll in this this program.Mischa Zvegintzov  29:11Wow. That's amazing. So you're disseminating information like that to your list and useful information. And obviously, strangely, it's either a blessing or a curse. You're fascinated by the by the, by the student loan process.Ian Hoffman  29:29Yeah. That was originally fascinated by it. But you know, I think originally when I, when I went to try to get my first mortgage, I was told that my income was good, but my debt to income ratio was all messed up because of the student loans.Mischa Zvegintzov  29:45Yeah.Ian Hoffman  29:45So I really got inspired to understand my student loans so that they didn't hold me back in life. You know what I mean? And then and then meeting that little girl with stage for cancer and everything else that came after it really was You know, the universe or something aligned? Yeah. To help this this product, this service come to fruition?Mischa Zvegintzov  30:08Yeah, I don't mean to go political, but I'm going to it almost seems to me, and I've had this thought that that a lot of these schools were, literally were created as a vehicle to create student loan debt. Right. Like, almost people with lots of money, we're like, we want to, we want to, you know, collateralize debt or securitized debt obligations, or whatever, you know, the bond market, right. And so they're like, alright, we got we want student loans, we can, the government will subsidize it. Right? So they got you got venture capitalists with billions of dollars that want to create CDOs, or collateralized debt obligations? There we go. And so they're like, how can we do this? This is just a theory. I don't mean to you, maybe you could speak to that for a second. You know, it's like,Ian Hoffman  31:11Yeah,Mischa Zvegintzov  31:12Yeah it's like... go ahead...Ian Hoffman  31:14I mean, I have heard a few different, you know, theories as far as the student debt crisis in America and how it came to happen. And, you know... I think that what we do know, is that part of the issue is that tuision, has just gone up and up and up and up far faster than the cost than the then the salaries that the degrees people are being trained in provide. And so...Ian Hoffman  31:50But the reason that they're doing that is because the schools know what someone can borrow. So if someone can borrow $10,000 a quarter, you know...They're gonna make their tuition, you know, whatever the the the very minimum that somebody can can have for, you know, room and board.Mischa Zvegintzov  32:10Yes. Ian Hoffman  32:11That, you know, plus tuition is $10,000. So, you know, that's, I think that's more of the issue is that it's not, it's not commensurate with what, what someone can expect to earn from that degree. It's not...Ian Hoffman  32:30There's a lot of unethical practices, I would say, but most importantly, is just that people aren't being educated on the responsibilities that they're taking on... when... you know, if... If I was 20, I'm trying to think of when I when I started at chiropractic school, graduated high school at 18. College at 22.Ian Hoffman  33:00So if I was 22 years old, and I went to try to get a mortgage for six figures, yeah, you know, there's no way but sure, you, we can give you six figures, you know, of debt for for college, right. So and it's an it's that it's a, it's a trap unfortunately, for a lot of people. I'm I'm, I value my education to no end. And I would do whatever it took to repay my debt. And and I was on that path. I was, you know, whether it was making my monthly payments, and then paying the tax bill.  Or earning more and paying it off more quickly, I would have done whatever I could, it wasn't about getting out of the debt.Mischa Zvegintzov  33:43Yes.Ian Hoffman  33:44But the fact that there's a federal program out there, that would erase my debt, because I was helping more people and providing a public service. I was all after that.Mischa Zvegintzov  33:54I love it. That's a great, great way to frame it, you are committed to like, Hey, I have this debt. If I took it on, I'm willing to be responsible for it. I as a matter of fact, I'm trying to pay it off sooner. So I can be a responsible consumer or whatever, you know, like... Reduce the lifetime interest on the damn thing or stuff. Right. Like and, and, yeah. But then you figure out an ethical way. I didn't even think about this. The you're like, oh, wait a minute, like, I'm trying to be responsible. Here's an alt solution to be responsible. And yeah, it's beautiful. Did I frame that right? Or did I say that right?Ian Hoffman  34:35Yeah, you did. You know, and, and...Ian Hoffman  34:35Why are we bailing out banks at three quarters of 1%? When a student who wants to become educated and become a doctor, we're gonna put them into student debt slavery for the rest of their life? You know, it doesn't make sense. So I do you feel, in some senses like Robin Hood you know... Trying to... cuz the student loan industry is huge.Ian Hoffman  34:35There's $1.5 trillion of student loan debt out there. It's more than credit cards and car loans combined. So it affects 45 million Americans, it's a huge issue. And that's why I feel really good about helping people to sleep better at night to get that student loan monkey off their back and to give back in the process.Ian Hoffman  34:37I go back to you know, you asked about the the student loan industry as a whole and I think what's crazy is when the banks needed a bailout, the federal government gave them that bailout at 0.75% interest rate. When I got my student loans, it was 6.8%.Mischa Zvegintzov  34:58Oh my god.Ian Hoffman  34:59So why that that feels backwards to me. Right?Mischa Zvegintzov  35:45Yeah, that's beautiful. Thank you for that. Let me ask you a question. As far as like, internally, you you're coming across these these professionals, medical professionals. Who are, you know, who have this burden who are trying to do the right thing and have a they're kind of doing the philanthropic thing, they might not even know it it sounds like right.  They have the activities and and you can wrap that, that nonprofit around it. What's like, the thing that, that they're thinking in their head that they're like, this doesn't make sense. What What's that? What's that? You know, what I'm saying? Like, how do you what is that thing that that, that that doctor in that situation internally is like, Yeah, but like, what's that thing?Ian Hoffman  36:35Regarding my program?Mischa Zvegintzov  36:36Yeah, regarding your program. Mischa Zvegintzov  36:39Yeah, like that internal, where they're like, they're thinking, like, well... I can't do it. Or I don't have the time. Or what is the what's like, what, what's the thing that stops people from taking advantage of this amazing thing internally? I guess, is what I'm trying to say. Right.Ian Hoffman  36:54Like, I mean, I think most often, it's that we have this silly phrase that, you know, if something sounds too good to be true, right? So I do hear that... And you know...there...Ian Hoffman  37:06Unfortunately, it's an industry where there are there are some scams out there, there are people taking advantage. And so I understand when my clients have questions, and they want to do their due diligence, and that's why I stopped selling the program directly from the webinar. And I want people to get on the phone with me. Because I want them to hear my heart and my purpose behind this. And I want to make sure that they're aligned with that. And I want to make sure that they understand that it's not me personally offering to forgive their student loan debt. And they do have responsibilities when they decide to join my program.  They have to run the nonprofit, effectively.  They have to learn the difference between how to run a nonprofit versus a for profit. We do all that training. But you know, there, I have this great quote, from www.nonprofitquarterly.org. Ian Hoffman  38:03They said six months of executive training for nonprofit professionals to on compliance costs between $4,000-$30,000. And that's included in my program, because I want people not just to help them start a nonprofit, I want them to be trained, so they can run it effectively in compliance with state and, and federal regulations. And so they're that means that they are taking on a different responsibility.  Instead of paying their student loan debt, they need to know that they are now going to learn how to run a nonprofit, and how to do that effectively, how to avoid conflicts of interest, and how to, you know, to meet the specific requirements for public service loan forgiveness.Mischa Zvegintzov  38:51So you help them do all that.Ian Hoffman  38:53We help them do all of that.Mischa Zvegintzov  38:55Is that like the biggest, the biggest sort of outside issue that that that a medical professional is going to feel when they when they come across this idea? Your your student loan? I forgot the name, I'm sorry, student loans eraser.Ian Hoffman  39:11Yes.Mischa Zvegintzov  39:12Is that is that is that the is that like the thing where they're like, wait a minute, this sounds too good to be true. But then they get you on the phone and they feel your heart? And they say, oh, no, this is real. I can do this. But then they're like, oh, there's this outside stuff. Like, is it that compliance piece? Or is it is it well, my wife's gonna think I'm crazy or what? What's that?Ian Hoffman  39:34So first, it's too good to be true. And then it's, it's the other two big ones time and money. Right. So how much is this going to cost? And how long is it going to take for me to get it set up? What are my time requirements in running the nonprofit? You know, what are those things look like? So those are all important questions that most people have.  That I addressed to a certain extent on the webinar, because I know everyone has those questions. Yeah, but then we We go deeper on the phone calls.Mischa Zvegintzov  40:01Okay, cool, cool, cool. And what's the what's like the epiphany moment for them where they're like, oh, my gosh, I have to do this.Ian Hoffman  40:09Yeah, um... Ian Hoffman  40:09Most people know they have to do it when when they look at how much student loan debt they have.  You know, when they look at their options.  Because you know, the truth is... I break it down. Ian Hoffman  40:09There's three, three ways to get out of your student loan debt, right? Number one, you can pay for 25 years, well, let's say four years, you can pay it off. But when you have multiple six figures of student loan debt, most people cannot do that in, you know, in a reasonable amount of time. Number two, you can go on an income driven plan, make the minimum payment for 25 years and save for that tax bill. That's, that's the way a lot of people go. Number three, you can qualify for public service, loan forgiveness, and get it erased in half the time tax free. That's the option I provide. And number four is die trying, you know, those, those really are the options. So between those four options, when you really break it down, people are able to see that, you know, if I can get out of debt in less than half the time tax free. That's really the way to go.Mischa Zvegintzov  41:23Thank you for answering. I want to know how many times did you almost quit in this process? How many times were you like, oh my gosh, this is amazing. And then the next day like, I can't do this another day? Yes. Because it's so hard building this.Ian Hoffman  41:40Yeah, I will say that I almost quit a few times before my first launch. Once I did my first launch. i i I've never looked back. So the first the the first year was really a challenge because that's when I was still full time in practice. Still, you know how to have had a new family.  You know, a lot lots of obligations. And I wasn't sleeping much because I was trying to get this thing off the ground. So it was stressful. It was stressful for sure. Plus, you know, I was running a for profit and nonprofit, you know, so I had a lot going on. And I did I did get to a few points where I'm like, What am I doing? What Why? Why am I doing this? Right? Yeah.Ian Hoffman  42:32But, uh, then I looked at that little girl with stage four cancer, you know, and I remembered my why. And she's now December of this year, she'll be six years cancer free. When we first met, she was as bald as me now her hair is as long as yours, you know. So yeah. And so now I realized that the the impact is what drives me my clients are taking care of over 10,000 nonprofit visits a month.  Which is amazing. So yeah, I wanted to quit early on. But...Mischa Zvegintzov  43:09Oh my god, thank you for that. Say that, again, what your nonprofit is doing what Say that again.Ian Hoffman  43:13So fast forward now.  In the five and a half for six years or so that I've been teaching this. We by the end of this year will have started over 400 charities, and those doctors are going to save over $100 million. And they're taking care of over 10,000 nonprofit patient visits per month. So those are the numbers that are important to me. Oh no, I know that as those numbers grow, so too, so does income.Mischa Zvegintzov  43:43You know what? I I literally wrote this down. And I wrote down it's an effort to create something like this. You deserve a standing ovation. Right? Just for the fact that no truly I mean, and I'm not even talking that's just on the creation and now that I hear like your impact. Oh my gosh, I just I you know... I need the... what I was gonna say is I need an applause but I need the standing ovation applause button.  So what great inspiration. um, so are you you're not chiropractic anymore? Or you do it a little bit or what's going on there?Ian Hoffman  44:22I'm not I'm not I really miss it. And so you know, one day I hope to have a little office with a box on the wall "Pay What You Can" you know that that kind of thing. That's That's my dream retirement. But for now...Ian Hoffman  44:39I also know that the the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program in and of itself is probably not going to be around forever. There's there's been over a million people that have submitted their employment certification form. There's a lot of interest in this program as complex and difficult you know, as as it is.  And so Every year in office President Trump asked Congress to close enrollment in public service loan forgiveness. And they never did. But it put the program on the chopping block where... there was always a grandfathering clause that said, once you're once you're enrolled, and once you have your student loans...they're not trying to take it away from anyone who is already enrolled. But they would close enrollment from that point forward to not let the program continue to grow. And Congress never changed it. They never they never did that. So the program survived. President Biden seems very in favor of all of the student loan forgiveness programs, including public service, loan forgiveness.  And they're making great strides to fix it and make it easier for people. So, you know, political shifts can change. And, you know, I'm, I'm in this for as long as I can be.Mischa Zvegintzov  45:58Does it keep you up at night at all? Are you ever Are you ever or do you have a connection or a trust factor that like, if this evaporates, "I know there's next"?Ian Hoffman  46:08Yeah, you know, the cool thing is that, because I was fortunate enough, I wound up getting a to two comma Club Award. This program, which was super fun, I got to shake Russell Brunson. And it was amazing. And, and get on stage at Funnel Hacking live in front of 1000s and 1000s of people.Mischa Zvegintzov  46:26Yeah,Mischa Zvegintzov  46:27What year was that?  What year was that?Ian Hoffman  46:292019.Mischa Zvegintzov  46:29Yeah, not Nashville was that which was Nashville? Yes. Yeah. Congratulations, another applause button.Ian Hoffman  46:38Thanks. That was super fun and a cool accomplishment. But since then, I think just naturally, you know, people hear about that. They find me online, somehow through to comic club or whatever. They I've had people reach out to me and ask me for help. Because they're trying to get an online program launch. They're trying to write a webinar, they're trying to go through this process. And the most common thing I hear is, I don't know what to do first. Okay, even if I do that, what do I do next? And so I've really had fun taking on a handful of select clients.   That, you know, are people who are doing something that I really believe in.  That are making the world better.  That are helping people with their product or service. And, you know, I've helped a couple of them get to market, get on Click Funnels and, and develop their, their funnel. So I do some of that coaching. And I think that if, if Public Service Loan Forgiveness went away overnight, I would probably have a lot of fun getting into that more.Mischa Zvegintzov  47:47Yeah, yeah, great, what a gift. But how cool is that? To know that that can shift there if necessary, or wherever the universe is going to take you.   Or however you...Ian Hoffman  48:01Yeah totally.Mischa Zvegintzov  48:02Yeah, that's super cool. Any upsells down cells along the way you have? Or are you? Or do you have like progression for your doctors? So you have your first $5000 to $7,000? Class? Is there a next step for them? Or no, you're pretty focused on that.Ian Hoffman  48:26There, there's not. There's no upsell, so to speak, as far as as that's concerned. But I do remember reading about how important it is to have a continuity funnel to have monthly recurring revenue instead of just one chunk at a time. And so I got together about two years ago now with the team that I use to do the legal work. So they write the articles of incorporation and bylaws send that to the state, they send the required documents to the IRS. And so they have a great team.Ian Hoffman  49:00And we put together a compliance program for my clients. Where we call it the "hands free 501 C three maintenance program". And so that includes help with bookkeeping, payroll, state and federal tax returns, help with their board meetings. You know, compliance questions, all of that. And really it that it's $157 a month, we tried to keep it really affordable. And it's it's an option. Some of my clients choose to keep their nonprofit, very low budget, and they do all those things themselves. But for the ones who are really busy, the ones who their nonprofit can afford it. We do have that as I would say kind of an upsell. Ian Hoffman  49:48And then as a down sell.  The first step in this whole process is making sure that people have the the first two requirements.  They have the right type of student loans.  And they're on an income driven repayment plan with the lowest possible monthly payment, because that helps us maximize their savings and cash flow.Ian Hoffman  50:08And so I do a custom student loan plan. For people who are on the fence, they're like, show me my numbers, how much can I save? Before I sign up, so that sometimes I have specials, that's usually somewhere between $297 and $497. But you know, that's a great way for people to get their numbers and see how much they're going to save before they jump into the full program. So really, it's about twice a year, I'll send some emails, you know, telling people about the the custom student loan plan. And that works great as well.Mischa Zvegintzov  50:46Fantastic. Thank you for answering it. And I next interview, I'm going to ask it more delicately because upsell and down sell can sound a little salesy, right. But really, oh, here's an added value. If you're a busy, medical professional, and you're, you're cranking away at your business, and you've created this nonprofit that's thriving. Or maybe more than they anticipated, or something, you're like, hey, we can we can maintain your compliance on a on a monthly basis. So you don't have to worry about it. It's beautiful. Right? Versus, and then you've also got, hey, someone's not ready to feel like you know what, I think I'll just start with like, let's clean up my my student loan debt, let's just clean it up a little bit. Make sure I'm maximizing, you know, interest rates and all that sort of stuff. Yeah?Ian Hoffman  51:38Sure.Mischa Zvegintzov  51:38Yes. Great.Ian Hoffman  51:39There are people that that start there. And I show them that they can lower their their payments enough where it pays for the full program in and of itself within two years, or whatever that is. So it's just a nice way to help people save money and provide value quickly. And then if they choose to get started with the full program, great. If not, they've had a great interaction with me. And hopefully they saved a ton of money.Mischa Zvegintzov  52:07Yeah, fantastic. And I'm looking over here a little bit as a, as we're talking, I'm looking at  your landing page, the introduction to the webinar. And there was something I saw on there about a group, there's you do you have a group associated with this? Where? Yeah,Ian Hoffman  52:25Yeah, so all my clients, one of the bonuses that they get is access to a private Facebook group. We have, I think there's, there's over 200 doctors in that group at this point, it might be 250 At this point.  But it's, it's a way for them to share resources and provide community support. Sometimes someone will find an article, even though I stay really up to date with the political stuff regarding student loans. Sometimes they find things before me, and they post it there, and then I get a chance to comment. So they're, you know, people will have questions about anything, you know, related to their student loans or related to the nonprofit, and we get to provide community support, share referrals, resources that way.Mischa Zvegintzov  53:14Cool. What's sort of the coolest thing you've seen on the group?  Where you're like, Whoa, I didn't expect that. That was amazing.Ian Hoffman  53:21Yeah. Um, to be honest, it was like, it was a, it was a fear that turned into a really cool, powerful moment. So I had somebody who posted that they were flagged for an IRS audit. And it was something that was totally unrelated to their student loans and to the nonprofit. But they wound up posting, you know, as they went through the process that the IRS, the nonprofit that we started for them got looked at, and it passed with flying colors. There were no the IRS had no issues with the setup or with with any part of that. So that was fantastic for everyone in the group to see. We cross our T's we dot our I's we teach it a certain way.Mischa Zvegintzov  54:10Yes. Ian Hoffman  54:11We do that because you know that that's the way to do it.Mischa Zvegintzov  54:15Yeah.Ian Hoffman  54:16There's, there's only one way in my opinion, if you're going to go down this path, and that's the rightMischa Zvegintzov  54:21way. That's beautiful. Ian, thank you so much. Um, I had one other question. It just escaped me. Um, maybe that means we should be done.Mischa Zvegintzov  54:32Oh, but I wanted to tell anybody watching and, and listening. Either go into the show notes or click below www.erasemystudent loans.com click on that link. And you can check out the webinar and just get all the quality information and if it makes sense and you want to reorganize your debt or start a nonprofit help save the world and wipe it off the books or or what have you click on that link and learn. I guess my next question is, is there like a breakeven point you have? So if someone's got, like $10,000, in student loan debt, obviously, you know what? Probably not, I'm not your guy, is it? Like, right? That's what's that number and above?Ian Hoffman  55:19It's not so much a specific number of an amount of student loan debt, although I will give you that number. Um, it's, it's their debt relative to their income, because, for example, if they have $50,000 of student loan debt, but they have no income, than the $50,000 is still gonna be there. Plus interest 10 years from now? Yes. Right. So, you know, that's why it's related to their income, versus if they have $50,000 of student loan debt, and they make $250,000 a year, they're gonna pay that off before they qualify for forgiveness, right. So that's why it's it's debt relative to their income. And for the most part, I would say, you know, if you're, if your monthly payment is at or below interest, meaning, if your debt is not going down, yes, then we that's how we know that this might be a good option for you. And I would say that, at a minimum, I typically want to see somewhere between $50,000 and $70,000, of student loan debt, you know, to take on a client. However, I have, I have had clients that have $750,000 of student loan debt. So it's no joke, you know, as as a naturopathic doctors right now are graduating with $400,000.  Dentists are graduating with $400,000.Mischa Zvegintzov  56:47What!?Ian Hoffman  56:48And some people have multiple degrees. So yeah, and then, you know, on top of, let's say, You graduated with $400,000 of student loan debt, and you didn't have a substantial income right out of school, five years later, that might be significantly higher. So that's why we start to see people who have half a million dollar plus a, you know, that's that those are really my favorite clients, because there's no way they're paying that off, you know, unfortunately.Mischa Zvegintzov  57:22Unfortunately, so they could actually be thriving as a practice and have a ton of income, but that the burden of that debt is just... It's heavy, right? Like it. Especially if you're growing a family and doing all that and have a house, totally things.Ian Hoffman  57:38There are statistic statistics now on student debt related suicides, and student debt related divorces, and student I mean, it's just, it's miserable. Um, so, you know, I would say, for anyone in those kinds of positions, um, you know, there's help.Mischa Zvegintzov  57:57That's amazing. Um, and so I just want to recap, one thing, if what I'm hearing you say is, if someone's making a million dollars a year, and they have $100,000, in loan debt, and they have no other debt, like that's not your guy, because they can just effectively pay it off. Quick anyway, right, like, pay it off, versus going through the hoops of paying me all this stuff? Is that effectively what I heard you say?Ian Hoffman  58:21Correct. Um, that being said, I do have clients who are earning in excess of $250,000 a year, so. But, again, if you're earning debt load, but you have half a million dollars of debt, that's why it's not just a picture of how much debt you have. It's debt and income,Mischa Zvegintzov  58:39I get it. It's like the debt to income ratio, if you wanted to call it like that. Right? And it's, it's the whole debt to income ratio, right? Like by the time you have your car payment in there, maybe some credit card payments in there, and maybe some, right when you put the whole picture together.  It's like yeah, you could be making a lot but but that total that load? Okay, you've answered the question. I don't mean to brow that any brow beat that anymore? Did you want to clarify there? Because I didn't mean to dilute that message. If I did,Ian Hoffman  59:07No, no worries. And and I'm happy to have people check out the web class, make sure that this is something that they want to pursue, get the information and if they're not sure, on their those numbers, you know, jump on a call with me, we can always start with the custom student loan plan. That's why I have that option to run the numbers for them.Ian Hoffman  59:27And I also provide two money back guarantees in my program because I want to make it a no brainer. So the first guarantee is that after they sign up, when I do the first step, and I look at what type of loans they have, what repayment plan they're in, I estimate how much they can expect to save by qualifying for public service loan forgiveness. And if I can't provide a you know, an estimate of 1,000% return on their investment, you know, basically meaning. The program itself is is $5000 If we if I'm not going to show them that they're going to qualify for at least $50,000 in savings, then I give them an opportunity to have a refund.Ian Hoffman  1:00:10And then the second guarantee that I make is that one, it's their responsibility from that point forward to complete the steps in the student loan eraser and go through the course and with my help and guidance, but once they complete the process, I the last step is that they send a document to the Department of Education, letting them know that they now have qualified employment, and they get a letter back saying, letting them know how many payments they've made, or how much how many months they have that count towards public service, loan forgiveness.  So they know they're in. If they get denied, they get we work with them until they get approved or they get a refund. So it has to work or I don't feel that I deserve to keep the payment.Mischa Zvegintzov  1:00:53That's amazing. That is amazing. That's amazing. And thank you for explaining it that way. That's that's clear and concise. Like that's almost if you fit if you fit the person that can use help that needs they can they can get you can help clean up their their debt load serve community. like they fit that model. If you aren't able to come through it's not it's it's a no lose situation. That's That's powerful. Wow. I know you're a busy guy. I know you've got a son out there still and all that and so I want to I want you to let you get back to your day. But I want to tell everybody again, erase my I'm looking at it. It's a beautiful it's a beautiful landing page very concise, easy to easy to figure out what to do https://www.erasemystudentloans.com/ The link will be in the show notes as well but absolutely click on it.

I was having confusion with the rebrand of the podcast…  Which name am I going with?  What am I doing with the show?  Mix that in with my divorce history and a failed business “Nitro Sales”…  Which was a lead gen company.  I.e. generate leads and explode your sales :).  And a potential new name of the podcast hits me! The Nitro Sales Pitch Session where we get to talk about how to sell stuff. With audio, video, videos, sales letters, interviews, etc, etc. Webinars.  The Winfomercial.  And we will have people on “Pitching” stuff.  Pitching their products.  And as always keep at it keep taking the messy action!Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:01And here we go. Part three of the rebrand of the Bitch Slap  ...The Accelerated Path To Peace! podcast. And I was fairly certain it was going to be the Table Rush, the Table Rush masterclass. But of course, that is seemingly not the case anymore. So thank goodness, I have not put out that logo. Although I've done 6, 7, 8, 9 interviews under the Table Rush moniker, but I believe I'm may still be Table Rush. I think there's a third option though, which I'm going to sort of been talking about on the last two episodes. And this is part three. So just a recap, I'd had tremendous insecurity about this Table Rush. I'd been told to contemplate and think and like, what's your message? What are you doing with this channel? But are you doing with this? With this, you know, this podcast? What are you doing? Like, that's what you want the the name and the tagline to represent. And, you know, your intros and outros and I was very frustrated. Communication came back, Patience. Patience is in order. And I was thinking, I was just thinking, I should pause right here. So I could do the official intro and then start again, but I will not do that to you. Okay. So at the end of the last episode, my life had collapsed.  Relationships, finances. I'd had Nitro Sales, which was helping people generate leads and explode their sales. Hence, Nitro Sales. And I was effectively gently encouraged by the vocational evaluator evaluator to get back into the loan business.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:17That's what the universe did for me. I'd been trying to get out. I was like the godfathers. They're pulling me back in to the loan business. This was in 2010 ish. So Nitro Sales collapses. And I'm back in the loan business and back up my financial feet and able to pay my alimony and child support.  And I shut down all the financial obligations associated with having an office and printers and copiers and data lines and leases and all this stuff. And man, I'm very proud of the way I exited all that. I negotiated terms to everyone's satisfaction as I was leaving some contracts early. And I wanted to make sure that everybody was happy, as best as we could be versus just saying goodbye. Good luck.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:23So funny.thank you for listening. I love you.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:30So the... I just took a quick break. I'm Back I hit pause trying to recapture my thoughts, best series of episodes ever. God bless the entrepreneurial and the creator journey.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:49So I'm walking today. And it hits me. Wait a minute, you've got this Nitro Sales like you have Nitro Sales, nitrosales.com. N I T R O S A L E S .com.  What if you called the podcast and sister YouTube channel? The Nitro Sales. What is it the Nitro Sales, talk show and pitch session. The Nitro Sales talk show and pitch session. That's what it is. Five or six days a week I'm just going to be talking away about sales and life and the entrepreneurial journey and how does spirituality weave its way through all that and and as well as trying to.... with the under the the main theme being hey, let's get on camera to sell. Let's talk audio to sell like podcasts interviews. Like how can we effectively sell in that in that in that environment where you're asked to.  Hows that?Mischa Zvegintzov  05:12So I'm not saying go sell where they're trying not to have you sell, you get what I'm saying. And then I also want to have people have the opportunity to do their pitch, right like here's the pitch to the world here it is. And then bring people on who are new at it refining their pitch learning the integral parts of the pitch and then people being people on who are excellent at it and then as well why not get the best in the world on there. Hopefully get to a point where people are like, Heck yes, I'd love to come onto your show and your talk show and pitch session and pay perhaps chat for a moment and then I'll give you the big pitch. Mischa Zvegintzov  06:03So... yes! I think that's very exciting. Boy it sure is coming...  These episodes are all the sudden coming through I have and I'm like, What am I going to talk about? As well as per usual I'm walking through a park full of people this Sunday morning. And and so I'm distracted shiny object shiny objects. People looking at me like I'm crazy as I'm talking in my phone.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:35Anyway, I'll end like this. I think what was so striking is a few things.  One, Have your phone and microphone with you. So you're ready to record when inspiration strikes. Two, trust the process keep at one of the things I was willing to do is continue to take messy action. And I still am. Number three, communicate with people about your insecurities. people that you trust the Stacy Martino who's got that relationship, amazing relationship courses and such. What does she call them? She's got a name for that sort of that inner circle of like the top... you're... the people that are on board with your creative process versus the Negative Nelly, shall we say.  Or not the negative Nellies, the ones that are... they are not embracing the entrepreneurial journey. I don't know. I don't know how to say it. But keep at it.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:37And then, I don't know. I'm just so excited. I'm so excited to have the idea of the Nitro Sales talk show and pitch session. Where, where, what, where we get to help where we get to talk about how to sell stuff. With audio, video videos, sales letters, interviews, etc, etc. Webinars. I've got this thing called the winfomercial that I'm setting up to help people do this. And then so we get to talk about all that the entrepreneurial journey to sell and then as well as pitch, an opportunity to pitch to practice your pitch to an audience and to have people who are new at the pitch as well as pros. And to see what develops from that. Evaluating talking about analyzing, growing learning. Yes, I'd love it. Okay, there you go. I'm done. Part Three. I hope that this provides inspiration for you to continue to take messy action and the Nitro Sales, talk show and pitch session.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Continuing on from the last episode…  My company “Nitro Sales” was collapsing and I’m in the middle of a divorce.  The judge ordered me to go to a “Vocational Evaluator” picked by the “enemy”.  And I’m panicked because how can this go good?  I’m f*cked!  But I’m inspired by god with inspiration.  And somehow there’s a miracle in all this.  But what does that have to do with a potential new podcast name? Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:01Okay, on the last episode, just talking about my frustration with how am I, what am I doing with this? With this podcast and the sister YouTube channel? And you know, the universe was like, be patient, it'll come together. Because I'm like, I want the answer now! It's I'm feeling my frustration and thinking, "I'll quit! I'm gonna go teach yoga." I never got quite that extreme, but you get it, you get to a sometimes emotional upheaval can feel very extreme. And then on the last episode, I was talking about how I was going through the divorce. And Nitro Sales was a company that I'd started and what's going sideways. And my two long term assistants, Mary and Carrie, both were leaving for one for another state, one for different opportunity with their husband. Financially collapsing, relationships collapsing, it was a dark time. And so I've got Nitro Sales, and it's lead gen (lead generation). And sales like... the... the idea was, hey, I'll help you with your lead gen and we'll explode your sales. Hence the Nitro. "Nitro Sales".Mischa Zvegintzov  01:34And I go to the judge. No, not the Judge. I go. So I'm in the middle of a divorce. And they're trying to figure out... "they", the judges and the lawyers are trying to figure out how much I get to pay the boys mom, every month. And I get ordered to go see a vocational evaluator. I think I had to get a vocational evaluation. I think that is what you call it. Because everything was collapsing. And the judges n the lawyers are like, "well, that's great that you have zero income and your debts, your obligations are more dramatically more than your income. And your sales...your savings are evaporating." Literally, that's what was happening. It was an insane, brutal time. Everything I built was just collapsing. And they said, "that's great, you still get to pay alimony and child support". And you have value on the open market in the loan business. Like that's great, did you have a failing business, but you could go do home loans, because you are adept at that and had success. So go see this vocational evaluator. And we're going to assign an income number to you. So that way we can figure out how much you get to pay an alimony and child support.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:17And I just want to say, I'm telling you the story with love. Without resentment. I get both sides of the coin. I got to be the the husband that you know, the relationship ended and Dawn, God bless her, the boys mom was a stay at home mom and things needed to be worked out. And it's a scary time to be the mom coming out of a divorce when you've been stay at homing for at least 10 or 12 years or whatever it was at the time. Maybe it was 10 years, nine years, eight years, somewhere in there. But when you've got no career.  You've got your skill set is raising kids. Like that's a scary time for the mom. And I get it.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:08And so by the grace of God, I'm going through all this and I've got as about as an open mind as you can have and I'm trying to be supportive.  But at the same time I'm like, "Oh no, this is BS". Like I've got to see a vocational evaluator and my business is collapsing. And you're gonna order me to pay money. Like "what?!" And the other side, Dawns, side got to pick the vocational evaluator. I was like wait a minute, the cards the deck seems to be stacked against me.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:50And, you know, through this time I was gifted truly by God, my higher power, the capital S self, creative intelligence, the Universe, the Infinite Intelligence, whatever you want.  It was like meesh "compassion, tolerance, patience". "Like you got to see the other person's viewpoint". "Kids are number one".  All this stuff like forgiveness, forgiveness, trust, trust. And so I was like, Alright, I got to go see this vocational evaluator. And I was like, "How can I be of service? What can I bring to the table?" Like, "God helped me here, I need help. How can I go in with an open mind?" "How can I go in to see the vocational evaluator who looks to be the enemy with an open mind."Mischa Zvegintzov  05:53It was a heavy time, my friends. So I go in with an open mind. The vocational evaluator says, "Hey, here's the thing". "We're going to assign this number to you. Because it's a reasonable number of somebody working 40 hours a week as a loan officer in the new market."  "Not somebody working 80 hours a week, at the peak of the market, so you do not need to worry about that."Mischa Zvegintzov  06:24And I was like, Okay. And she also said, if you would like to, you know, make this better for yourself with the judge. And put as good a bow on this as possible, I recommend you go out there, and start talking to your to two of your loan contacts a day. And document it. So you can show the judge that you're trying. You're trying to get your business back on track, as well as you're putting yourself out there in the workforce.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:10"Yes, yes, Miss vocational evaluator."Mischa Zvegintzov  07:14And I came out of that meeting or meetings, whatever it was, I think it was actually honestly just one meeting and this lady was so sweet. And she's like, I'm not the enemy. And I'm truly here to help you. And so much of the fear and tention of that time melted away. Truly.  And I was like, Oh my gosh, like this is going to be okay. The financial collapse will end.  You'll get back on track. And it's not the world against you. And so my job at that point was was shutting down Nitro Sales.  You know, ending all the financial obligations gracefully. Because my expenditures were very large and the income had collapsed. And at the same time document, you know, communications with my contacts in the loan business. Mischa Zvegintzov  08:18And of course, immediately I got offered great job opportunities in the loan business and it was my entry back into the loan business. I've been trying to get out and start my own business. You know, that was the dream. Thank you so much for listening to this... And so I shut down Nitro Sales and I re entered the loan business... 2010 Perhaps. Somewhere in there...2009. I don't know. Somewhere in there. But back into the loan business and everything stabilized.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:04I'm sorry, I got distracted and I'm thinking where how to button up this episode, but not the series and I think I'm going to end here and go to a part three and bring it all together. Part three the new... the new branding... idea three of the of the podcast and its sister YouTube channel. the rebrand.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:31And yes... The main lesson from this episode. Talk to your source, your god, your higher power. Ask to be of service. Keep an open mind. Stay tenacious. Try to help.  Trust in God that it will work out.  Alright. Enough.

I have a third idea for the name of the podcast.  Peak struggles of the rebrand.  I new it was going to be Table Rush.  But Table Rush what?  Master class?  Power Hour?  The message I was getting was “Be clear on your audience.  Be clear on what you are trying to say.  Be clear on what and how you are bringing to your audience.”  What is it?  How am I going to put the pieces of the puzzle together.  This all sends me down an emotional rabbit hole.  An old business name resurfaces as a potential new.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:00Holy mackerel. I was just walking. And well, I am full of inspiration this morning. I'd hit a wall on a few things. And I'm going to tell you about that inspiration for a new name for a podcast. For the podcast, this podcast.  Which was, Bitch Slap the accelerated path to peace, it was going to be Table Rush. But I have a third idea. So I'm going to tell you all about the third idea and how it materialized and manifested.Mischa Zvegintzov  00:34(Intro) you know, when someone is selling from stage, and at the end, the audience gets up and rushes to the back of the room to buy. That's a Table Rush. My name is Misha Z. And the Table Rush talk show is all about bringing you the tools, strategies and tactics that you can use to grow your audience and inspire them to buy.Mischa Zvegintzov  01:00Okay, the third idea as I've been for the YouTube channel, slash podcast, wait a minute, it's the podcast, and its sister YouTube channel, or father YouTube channel? I'm sure you get what I'm saying here. So I've been working on a name change rebrand for this podcast, and the creation of a sister YouTube channel. As I as I've shifted the emphasis of what I want to talk about. and I was going with Table Rush, which I still like and think is awesome. having trouble securing that.com .Table Rush.com Maybe someone else can go buy it? I don't know. But maybe there's a reason that I couldn't get that. And so basically my coach, Vince, who I've interviewed a couple times, for this new podcast, rebranded podcast, and sister channel, YouTube channel... and other people in the high end, coaching group that I'm in, continually asked me this message. Who are you trying to serve? What are you trying to do with this podcast? I talked to Sarah as well.  Sarah is another coach. She's the head coach of the coach of coaches in the 2CCX that I'm in. But Sarah was like, hey, you know, you get clarity on the message you want to bring? It might serve me and the audience. What do you want to say? What are you trying to do with this podcast? What's your theme? And because I was struggling with, you know, Table Rush master, clash, class.  Table, Rush Power Hour, things like this. And Vince was like, Yeah, this isn't actually a masterclass, you're not getting that in depth, and having that much structure and really taking someone through a series of, you know, modules.  And I thought that was very insightful. And then I was like, Power Hour? And it's like, well, I don't know, you know, that's might not be exactly what you're trying to do either.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:50So I've been thinking about it, thinking about it, and that and, and.  you know is it a show? Is it a, you know, podcast is kind of bland and this and that. And so I went into a pretty I want to say, let's say an emotionally dark place for a moment, like, I'm never gonna figure this out, like this sucks, I quit. Sometimes I can get into that mode. I quit time to pivot and go teach yoga or something. Wasn't quite that extreme. But I'm sure everybody in the entrepreneurial space who's creating new endeavors or well into an endeavor...it can feel like I'm done. But there's that saying don't quit. Don't leave before the miracle happens. And so I've been thinking and thinking, what is this and then I was like, oh, kind of maybe it's a talk show. Kind of a thing, but I really want people to be able to pitch their products. Like I really do.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:00And I was getting some pushback from the coach of coaches. She's like, well, how's that serve your, you know, your your listener? Like you gotta you gotta sort that out. Like maybe it serves the speaker or the interviewee. But how you going to put all these pieces together? And I really believe that bringing people on who will pitch their product who are adept at it that's a great learning opportunity for people who are wanting to sell their own products via you know, interviews or sales videos or video sales letters or webinars. Heck even written sales letters.  But I'm focusing more on that on on recorded or live so podcast or YouTube channel stuff audio and video and so how am I going to combine that? You know, the the pitching the sales pitch by the interviewee and then the, the teaching aspect of it all. So I think I figured it out. And I think if I make it clear that that's what I'm doing with the podcast and sister YouTube channel, then nobody's surprised when it's happening. So I love that and it kind of has settled in. I've been talking to friends about this. sharing my frustrations, my insecurities and I've just been getting cool feedback like don't worry. It'll fall into place. The answers will come hang in there. And I also had the intuition that continue to take the messy action.  If I have to know exactly how it's gonna go down then you know, I will never put something out to market.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:47So I'd like that intuition it was strongly just keep at it keep recording, keep making content. You know, keep taking the messy action. It's not like there's a massive audience that I'm throwing into upheaval. Although, depending on when you listen to this episode, hopefully there is a massive audience I have a, I started a business back in the day called Nitro Sales. And I teach in it our Oh, Sal. Yes, Nitro Sales. And it was about lead gen and sales, Nitro Sales. So it's helping people explode their sales. And at the time, I was going through a divorce. It was getting heavy and people that were working for me were quitting and going to move to different states like long time assistants that I'd had to have them marry and carry. And just the the coincidences of the collapse of my financial and relationship life was oh my god, it was you've heard me talk about this dark time, many on many episodes. But in the midst of all that was Nitro Sales. And yes, Nitro Sales. I'm gonna I'm gonna save the rest for part two, in perhaps a part three. So there's an open loop for you. Jump on the next episode. I'll be talking about Nitro Sales and how this all comes together.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:42(Outro) Thank you. Thank you for listening to this episode of the cable rush talk show.

It’s been suggested to me that I document the process of what I am creating.  So the question becomes…  How do I do that?  What does that mean?  I don’t have that answer yet.  I’m all in on webinars right now.  I love the webinar as a sales and marketing vehicle.  Use the Winfomercial process to gain confidence to get on camera.  I want to make a webinar for myself…  But I’m missing a couple pieces.  My coach gives me a couple of interesting solutions.  Now about the case studies?  The power of recording everything on zoom.  A) You get used to being recorded.  B) It’s powerful to go back to the recordings for reference and usable content later.  C) let everybody know it’s being recorded. Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript:Mischa Zvegintzov  00:01Alright, hello, I've been ordered by my coach Vince, to... not ordered. He's like, "Hey, start documenting the process". Start documenting the process of what you're creating and what you're up to. And this is in regards to I've got this great idea for the infomercial and using my information using my interview style, and a specific interview methodology to help people create webinars, sales videos, stuff like that. And, and he's like, Hey, I document this process. And, and so I need to ask him, well, how do I document that process? What the heck does that mean? And so I am going to ask him that. But obviously, talking about where I am, within that...  Instead of saying, "Here's what I've got" at the end, saying, "This is what I'm trying to figure out now". "And this is my dilemma". And so I was like, Okay, I'm going to talk about it on the podcast. So I'm all in on webinars. Right now, I love the webinar as a sales and marketing vehicle. It's clearly very, very powerful, especially if you follow certain methodologies. And there can be different reasons for webinars. But if you want to use a webinar.  Create a webinar that sells. So at the end, your your perfect customer that has watched the webinar buys your product offering. I love that.  And I am working on becoming a webinar expert. And how about this, a sales video expert.   or how can you say, creating video content that sells.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:10And so I've got my fledgling win infomercial process. But part of that is I was like, "Hey, Vince, I really want to create a webinar, like I need to do it." And I'm missing a couple key points for the webinar. And one of being case studies.  So I have a couple of in the middle of case studies, but I've got no, as I record this, no, like, here's the case study that proves concept. Right? Like that proves this way infomercial that I'm going to create for you sells your product. Now, I do have proof that that so far that my process will help you refine your target market.  Help you refine your product offering.  Help give you focus and confidence.  Help you create an effective offer stack  Like work, put together your offer stack.  So all this stuff. My process works for that. Which is maybe that's enough.  A lot of people need the confidence and focus to you know, get on camera to put together their webinars so they can get on camera. So I can absolutely help with that right now. Anyway, I want to create my own webinar that will sell this product offering that I have and so and it's got to do with a certain interview methodology and key questions and the interviewer.  You know, putting in key bits of information, etc, etc. And so I was like Vance, like, like, "how am I going to do this? Because I want to make a webinar, but I'm not seeing how to do it. Do it right now." This is all right, well, first off, you know, let's get you documenting the process. Okay, step one here I am recording, recording the process my conversation with Vince. And the ideas he gave me.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:02He's like, hey, in fact, you are going to be interviewing people. So you could do it.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:08I'm walking up a hill now. So I'm breathing hard. I might stop here quick, hold on.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:14Interview yourself. Right? You could play both sides of the chair. Because it might be tricky. But you could do it. And I'm like, yeah, yes, I could take some work. But I could do it. I could record me asking the question. And then. And in fact, I would be asking myself the question, and I can answer it. And I love that idea. Like, yeah, that sounds cool. And then he also said, hey, the other thing you could do is, hire somebody to interview you. And, you know, coach them up on how the interview needs to go down. And he also gave some cool ideas. He's like, hey, you know, make sure the interviewer is of this type as a pro. Like they got to be a pro. Right. And one that's going to help emphasize your idea.  Your Winfomercial idea. And excuse me. And so I love that. So he's like, perhaps have it be more of a low key woman that... I can't remember exactly what he said why... but it's along the lines of someone that helps emphasize the interviewee as being the star of the show, right? And it's like, oh, yeah, great idea. So anyway, those are two ideas.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:58And then the other thing was a lot of webinars have case studies. And, and like powerful customer testimonies. And so we were talking about ideas for that they're escaping me as I record this. But I can tell you that one thing that I do is when I'm... I think the power of zoom, is that it allows us to record. Record every, record the conversations we have, with coaches with students with... you can record stuff, and then you can transcribe it and listen to it later. And read it later. And so I try and record as many conversations as I can, on the Zoom, because it makes makes it so easy. So that way, I can go back and pull out the key bits of information. And also, the other thing it does is.  I'm so used to having everything be recorded, it doesn't bother me nearly as much. I don't go into my head when I'm being recorded, which a lot of people do. Like, oh, no, I'm aware that I'm being recorded. So they fall out of their natural state, perhaps, and they try to put on a show or this or that we're so used to it now that it's like, it's easy. It doesn't affect me in a egoic. I don't go into my head and start panicking.  Or how should I act or this or that or whatever. It's just all good. I get to be me, which I think is very powerful. And important. Just like the more you can record yourself, the better. get used to it. What else was I gonna say in that regard? Oh, yeah. And so the other powerful thing about recording your conversations with people, of course let them know, is that to go back and revisit the recordings. I get to see it in a new light. So Vince, for example. A lot of times I'll I'll remember certain parts of the conversation one way and then when I read listen to it, I get to see from a new angle the point he was trying to make. And it's like, oh, wait a minute, I misinterpreted what he was saying. Or I get a new interpretation of what he was saying that makes it that much more powerful.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:46And I use there's two companies I use for transcribing right now. They are www.rev.com and otter.ai. otter.ai.  But you cantranscribe the conversations so you can read along and bold the key points for later. So a lot of copy, I pull copy from those conversations. Because a lot of times ideas are bouncing back and forth. So there's copy ideas. So you can bolt them and cut and paste them for later. So there's a key point. And then the other is you can fast forward the audio. I mean, not fast forward, you can buy two times... you can increase the rate of playback. So that makes it super effective. So the 30 minute coaching call, you can listen to it in 15 minutes or 10 minutes or you can get to the bit you want to hear quicker. And then, you know, what's the word I'm thinking of, not inspect, but you know, focus on... whatever find the bits that you really want to pay attention to and then and then Bolden and re listen to him and make sure the excuse me, the concept is internalized. Anyway, enough out of me.  Record everything. I would recommend to you so you A) get used to it being recorded. And B) It's so powerful to be able to go back to those recordings for reference and usable content later. And C) let everybody know that you're recording them. Alright, I'm done.   Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

I get around to telling you the story I promised. The power of song marking turning points in our lives.  Teenage hitchhiking in the 80’s.  Judges. Jail time.  Treatment centers and Van Halen.  Plus all the details I can muster.   But first a tangent on, if you don’t want to sell than perhaps you shouldn’t be an entrepreneur who is trying to sell something.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH the Table Rush Talk Show interviews here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comCheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:00On the last episode, I had talked about the importance of storytelling, and how important it is if you're trying to get the word out on your product offering, if you're trying to sell your product offering, and make no mistake that you're trying to create a business where people are buying your product, or your product offering, whatever that is, whether that's a physical good and expert service, or brick and mortar, or what have you, if somebody is buying, that implies you are selling. So, so I know I'm working with this guy right now who is like, "I don't want to be pushy", I in effect, don't want to have to sell.Mischa Zvegintzov  00:50Well, then perhaps you shouldn't be an entrepreneur, that's trying to sell something.Mischa Zvegintzov  00:55Because if you are trying to grow a business, that implies you have something to sell. Anyway, so there's different ways to do it. There's gentle ways to sell.  aggressive ways to sell. There's ways to sell where through your storytelling at the end somebody naturally just wants to buy.  and you don't even need to ask them to buy.Mischa Zvegintzov  01:25So I think that that's what people who are hesitant to "sell" as they don't want to feel like they are having to ask.  Or force or "sell" ice to Eskimos. But ultimately, oftentimes, you do need to ask for the credit card. Or ask them to buy the clothes they are trying on.  Wow, what a great tangent I just went on.Mischa Zvegintzov  01:59Anyway...  so here's the story that I was going to tell in the last episode.. It's a story that is a slice of my life. It's about music. It's about the power and the impact of a band on my life.  And also just a marker of my life and change.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:28II think what's interesting about the story is... perhaps this is just an egoic story for me to tell the story?  Or is it a story that I'm trying to prove a point?  Or show you that you need my product?  Or the before and after things like that.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:47This is just a memory that came back that's been very strong in my head. So might as well practice telling stories because that's what we've got to do. And maybe the story by me practicing, telling it right now will come up when the time is right, intuitively.  So I'll leave that to God.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:11Okay, here we go. So I'm growing out my hair and it's officially long.   It  hangs to my shoulders and it's curls.  And when it's wet it goes past my shoulders.  Down my shoulders and back a little bit. It reminds me strongly of the 70s and 80s. And of the 70s and 80s rock bands that I used to love so much.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:48And I don't know how the Google knows this. But the Google News Feed is delivering more delivering me more and more of the long haired 70s and 80s bands to me.   Pictures and things like that. And so of course there's Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin. Who people comment on I remind them of that band due to my curly blond and gray locks.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:29And another band that's started to be front and center is Van Halen.  Back before they had their refined look. Eddie Van Halen had his hair was pretty long.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:51And then you know, he starts getting bangs.  It's fun to watch bands as they get respectable and start selling more music.  And they start really looking the times and they've got stylists clearly. Anyway, it's just a funny thought.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:15So the story is this.  The first time I heard Van Halen I thought they were horrible. I was 14 years old. I was living in Jackson Wyoming.  And I had just started, just started my foray into actively drinking and drugging. And anybody who's been listening to me for a while knows that I quit drinking and drugging when I was 17. So my super active abusive period of drinking and drugging was three years. From the time I was 14, till the time I was 17 years and nine months old. Last day of high school is when I quit. Mischa Zvegintzov  06:03This was in 1982. Jackson Hole Wyoming was a lot different than the famous Jackson Hole Wyoming that it is now. It was a hippie outpost and big tourist town at the same time. And then ranchers and cowboys.   Real cowboys.  Like rodeo cowboys. There's a rodeo in Jackson Wyoming.  So bucking Broncos and, and all those sorts of things.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:48But at the time hitchhiking was still okay. At least in Jackson Wyoming. And we used to love to hitchhike as kids.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:59So I was 14 years old. I just started my four four foray into the active pursuit of drinking and drugging. Which is insane. When you look at what 14 year olds look like.  , Especially me I was definitely a skinny tall and lanky kid... I was always young for my age trying to be older.  I hit puberty later.  My balance, my coordination, puberty, all these things hit me late.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:37Anyway, I'm hitchhiking with my buddy...Mischa Zvegintzov  07:39And my buddy, who I was hitchhiking with this day... Mischa Zvegintzov  07:50I got clean and sober. And the clean and sober never stuck with him. And he finally disappeared. Mischa Zvegintzov  08:03...I was trying to find him a decade or so ago on the Facebook and all that. Mischa Zvegintzov  08:09...What happened to my buddy? and I stumbled across his brother. His brother said, oh, yeah, he committed suicide.  Could never get clean and sober. And just went down, dark, deep, and in his 30s killed himself.Mischa Zvegintzov  08:35So anyway, not to depress you, but interesting facts...Mischa Zvegintzov  08:39So him and I were hitchhiking, fourteen, skinny punk kids, ratty, early 80s hair.  And two high school girls that we know. Pick us up in their car.  Like an old Toyota Tercell stoner car of the day. Mischa Zvegintzov  09:02And we jump in, they're smoking cigarettes, and we want to be cool. My friend and I were like, "Yeah, I want to be cool too".  And there's this Kinks song playing. Except it's not the Kinks. It's some dude with a horrible raspy voice shreaking the Kinks song "You really got me".Mischa Zvegintzov  09:35I loved the kinks in my youth. And I was like, "Who is this horrible rendition of the Kinks "You Really Got Me" in this 1982 ratty old high schooler car.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:56These two girls were partiers right.  And I was afraid fledgeling partier. So they were my hero's. And I was like, "I dislike this band Van Halen and David Lee Roth".Mischa Zvegintzov  10:10So Van Halen was the best party music and I grew to like Van Halen. I loved Van Halen.  So when 1984 came out I was full fledged drug addict and alcoholic at the age of 16.Mischa Zvegintzov  10:41So fast forward to I get sober.  Clean and Sober.  A nudge from the judge.  The judge is like "Hey Mischa..."Mischa Zvegintzov  10:50I remember his name "Judge Horn". "No Judge Rank!"  I graduated from Judge Horn to Judge Rank.Mischa Zvegintzov  10:58My father was the deputy prosecuting attorney of Teton County in Jackson Wyoming. And he knew Judge Rank.  They had a good relationship. And so he worked this backdoor deal.Mischa Zvegintzov  11:10Dad talks to the judge... And the judge was like, "Alright, we'll let him go to treatment or he can go to six months in jail".Mischa Zvegintzov  11:19And I was given that offer by my father.  He says, "Hey, I talked talk to the judge and here are your choices". These were common choices handed out to kids my age who were in trouble by the way. So it wasn't like I was treated special.Mischa Zvegintzov  11:32The way I was treated special was I didn't have to go directly through the courts. At that point I didn't have to go sit in front of the judge.Mischa Zvegintzov  11:42So for whatever reason I was inspired to choose treatment.  And I land in treatment in June of 1986.Mischa Zvegintzov  11:53At this time David Lee Roth had quit Van Halen and Sammy Hagar was the new singer.  I'm at a treatment center in St. Paul, Minnesota. Minnesota! The birth of the treatment center!  And Van Halen's 5150 Album.  Sammy Hagar singing the song "Why can't this be love was just on the radio rotation".   And I just remember sitting in treatment, being like, "what has come of my life? Already? At 17 years old." Mischa Zvegintzov  12:59And the Van Halen song "Why can't this be love" was the soundtrack of that turning point for me. And still, whenever I happen to hear that song, it reminds me of that time.Mischa Zvegintzov  13:13But I can tell you this... There's the pre Sammy time and the and then Van Halen with Sammy.  I was never a never able to embrace the Sammy Hagar Van Halen. It's a definitely a turning point in my life. But I was always like, "David Lee Roth Van Halen, that's the real Van Halen!."Mischa Zvegintzov  13:47And I think about that along the lines of AC/DC.  There's the Bon Scott AC/DC and the Brian Johnson AC/DC. And I gravitate towards the Bon Scott AC/DC.  Which is so interesting because Bon Scott and David Lee Roth, their voices are not the best voices. They just are so powerful in their delivery.Mischa Zvegintzov  14:16There's my story. Me practicing telling a story. With detail. Russell Brunson was like, get the details in there.  Get more details in there to make it real.Mischa Zvegintzov  14:32I suppose some details would have been the depth of my despair when I was heading to treatment. I'll work on that next time.

As I record this episode it is officially the 1 year anniversary of the podcast (Errr “talk show”)!  But this episode is about storytelling and I’ve got a story to tell you.  And I give three tips to help you with your story telling.  So much of sales and marketing today is about storytelling. Of course sales has always been about storytelling.    (OMG that's a lot of "storytelling").But the way we have the internet, podcasts, Youtube, TikTok, Clubhouse, Discord, et al.  Storytelling is more important than ever.And of course we have webinars as being a sales and marketing tool  One to many selling.How cool is that?  One to many selling!  I love that.  Webinars.  Evergreen webinars that sell while you sleep.  You can drive traffic to your webinar and if it sells, and covers the cost of your advertising dollars than you are in that sweet spot.  You have positive return on investment (ROI).Some schools of thought would have you lose money on your marketing to your webinar because you are building your customer base that you can monetize in the future.  An interesting thought.  Perhaps just to encourage us to spend money on advertising when there is a negative initial return on investment.You can also generate organic traffic by taking the time to learn to tell stories on your Podcast, youtube channel, or blog.  And if people are interested in what you are up to you can point them to your webinar and then they buy your product offering. My current coaching group run by is big is big on storytelling. Specifically:Inventorying your stories. Write out your inventory of stories.Practice telling them to find what stories fit with what problem so that as you have an inventory of stories, and you're used to telling them they will start to naturally pop up.The head of my coaching group, Russell Brunson, is very effective at telling stories.  He tells many of the same stories over and over again.  And it is clear that you don’t need a lot of stories to tell.  You just need to find the ones that work.  And I love that.  But we have to practice telling the tale.But I have an idea on how to use my skill set to help you tell your story.  In an exiting way, even if you’ve told it for the 100th or 1000th time……Anyhow, the power of storytelling.  If we are looking to sell our products or services we need to get good at telling our story.  Which includes inventorying our stories and practicing telling our stories to see which ones work where.Opps!  I never got to the story I have to tell.  I will save it for the next episode.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Creator of Magnetic Influencer Collective. And you're the writer and illustrator of the Wild Hearts Rise Up Oracle deck. You're the host of two podcasts. Tactical Magic Podcast. which you just interviewed me on for on whatever the other day. which was amazing you just were held so much beautiful space and and at these great times you very eloquently recapped what I said and I was very impressed with that. So thank you very much. And then you've got the Reveal The Game of Life podcast. Is that still in action?Molly Mandelberg 01:03Oh, yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 01:04Okay, fantastic. So you are managing two podcasts?Molly Mandelberg 01:09Yeah. And a business and social life somehow too...Mischa Zvegintzov 01:15...And a business and social life AND which on here I guess we'll get to that...  Well, I'll keep going because the best parts coming up I think.Mischa Zvegintzov 01:27After spending years mastering content creation and online marketing, and I'm going to interject here really quick, you, the few times I've got to interact with you.Mischa Zvegintzov 01:33You clearly have the copy and the content creation side of things... very intuitive around that. Very well experienced. When we've been interacting and I've been you know hedging or looking for words you very quickly and eloquently bring up... help frame it in a very cool way. So anyone listening needs to know that about Molly. Aifted and awesome. Mischa Zvegintzov 01:43So as I start creating funnels, there's a great chance Molly will be working on the copy.Molly Mandelberg 02:12Looking forward to it.Mischa Zvegintzov 02:13Yeah. Hopefully.  You never know, right? We get to pick our clients too, right? My guess is you're very good at picking your clients and being like, "Yeah, you don't fit Have a good day".Mischa Zvegintzov 02:28Molly finds her bliss in bridging the worlds of heart centered healing and transformation with the practical business strategies of levering leveraging a message into a global movement. You're a certified NLP coach. An Access Consciousness bars facilitator. And a transformational leadership coach. And a full time nomad.Mischa Zvegintzov 02:53Molly works with coaches, healers and conscious leaders to broadcast their messages with ease, so they can reach more people and make more money with less time spent. Hence, you do not mess around that you live by the schedule. She travels the world full time and runs her six figure business out of her self converted Sprinter van time and tiny home. Now, how fun is that?Mischa Zvegintzov 03:20Molly loves helping her clients to systemize their work and master the magnetics of marketing so they can experience more freedom and make an even bigger difference.Mischa Zvegintzov 03:35So how do you do this out of your van? Molly Mandelberg 03:39Yeah, however I feel like it...Molly Mandelberg 03:41I just want to say you said a couple times that I don't mess around. And I want to revisit that and just say "I built my business in such a way that I have time to mess around". So I definitely do have lots of travel and lots of play, and lots of exploring and adventures. And I think when we set our business up the right way, we can have that spaciousness and have that time, which is why being a full time Nomad makes it possible because I have systems set up to support me to do that.Mischa Zvegintzov 04:11Yeah. Tell me about that journey. Have you? Did you come out of the womb like I'm a Systems girl or a systems person?Molly Mandelberg 04:17And I actually had a moment where I was ready to quit my business. Hmm. I asked my friend, Karen, there are great Karen's in the world, I have to say, Karen, you know, would you just tell me what I'm good at? Because I clearly can't see my strengths myself, like, Would you tell me what the world actually needs for me.Molly Mandelberg 04:17I think I've always had a very engineering brain. And I like understanding how things work. And I like putting puzzles together. But it wasn't until really I started my business as a hypnotherapist and immediately started just geeking out on online marketing and trying to understand how how people who don't know me could learn to know me and like me, and trust me. and how I could create content that both adds value to people's lives and also sometimes invites them into my world. And as I started geeking out on that there was a period of time where there was this dissonance of, I just want to build things I just want to make content but If none of it is really landing, and it's not really aligning the business I'm running is not really aligning with who I feel like I'm becoming.Molly Mandelberg 05:26And she said, we need your help with that stuff, you have a capacity with creating content and writing copy, and building these systems and using technology that most of us that are coaches and healers don't have figured out and don't want to figure out. Because we want to keep doing just the healing work that the magic trick that we've mastered, the modalities that we are in love with.Molly Mandelberg 05:50And the words that came out of my mouth where "no one's gonna pay me for that. That's the fun part."Molly Mandelberg 05:54And if you ever hear yourself saying or thinking that that's probably the thing you're meant to be doing.Molly Mandelberg 06:00So what happened over time, is I was going hard into the technology and system development, like realm. That consciousness part of me, the healer that had started a business as a hypnotherapist was feeling under serving, I guess you could say it was feeling left behind. And so it's been a process to synthesize those two. So that's why I say I bridge the world between the heart centered healing and the tactics and strategy to grow business.  Because I think both of those are absolutely required to actually level up and to get the success and to reach the people that we want to reach.Molly Mandelberg 06:00Doing the technology and setting up the program. And writing the copy is only part of it. Getting ourselves aligned in such a way that our people can even find us that we take our invisibility cloaks off that we broadcast our light into the world, that we're willing to receive the income and the clients that want to come to us in a big way. That is a key component in this in the growing of a business like this. So I now teach both, I brought in the healing back into my business to help people uncover those limiting beliefs and break through those upper limits. So that they could do both.Molly Mandelberg 06:00And I had...we were at a workshop, when we had this conversation, I had a chance the next day, to give a talk, I had won a challenge, purely through tenacity, not through making money as a speaker, but I'd want to speak or challenge and I got to speak to part of the room. And I changed my talk overnight and made an offer for that basically, helping people develop their content and figure out how to leverage their message to be online. And hopefully, through courses and programs beyond just one on one services. And I made that offer. And I got three clients, which had been the first three clients in many months. So I was really it was a turning point, it felt like a sign from the universe that I'm supposed to go this way now. And those three clients, single sessions led to packages led to referrals. And that was four or five years ago that maybe six years ago, that I made that shift, and it's just expanded and grown.Mischa Zvegintzov 08:07Hmm. So it's almost as if the systemization, the copy creation, is a backdoor into, into Alright, let's look at your limiting beliefsMolly Mandelberg 08:22...or people show up for both now, which is great. Yeah. Yeah, cuz I mean, anyone out there who is an entrepreneur who has tried to share something with the world, you may have noticed that even if you set it up perfectly and do it, right, it doesn't always work. And sometimes that's because we don't believe it will work.  Sometimes that's because there's a part of us that's afraid it will work. I think it was who I'm forgetting her name Marianne Williamson that said, we're more afraid of our light than our darkness. Yeah, yeah, we're actually terrified of success. We're terrified of outgrowing our family and friends, and being too big into potent into powerful. And we have to get over that shit if we're actually going to make the difference that we're on this earth to make.Mischa Zvegintzov 09:05Yeah. What do you think? What do you think, is the biggest sticking point there? You'd you see from your clients? Like, what's the what's the biggest?Molly Mandelberg 09:19Like, usually with my clients, they come in saying, I want to make this bigger thing happen. And I just don't know where to start. Because there's so much information on the internet. You've been on YouTube, you know, there's 1000s of people trying to teach you the thing they know how to do. And there's so many different ways to grow a business. There's so many different strategies that will work for certain people. And it's really easy to get lost in a sea of too many tools, and too many techniques and too many different avenues to pay attention to.Molly Mandelberg 09:51So a lot of my clients come to me overwhelmed with all the ideas that have been thrown at them. And feeling like they're spinning their wheels going in circles, just to figure out what their business actually needs, how to bring their message forth. So I don't teach one size fits all business, I ask the person, what they're wanting to create. And then depending on what their strengths are, what their energetic brilliance is, we figure out the best way for their business to grow and for their projects to come to life. And how to create those in such a way that they're duplicatable, so that you run a program and it's not dead, and you have to start a new one, you can recreate it and launch it and sell it another time. And we want to systemize that process. So it's really easy to keep mastering the craft of whatever that new program or course is that you've created.Mischa Zvegintzov 10:40Hmm. And so do you have your a systems girl? And I hope that's okay, that I say that oh, yeah. Okay, cool. You're a systems girls. So someone rolls in. And they're like, I have a vision in what so what's your like, process, step one we go...Molly Mandelberg 10:59Depends on the business again. So it depends on where the person is at.Molly Mandelberg 11:02I will say the first tools that I recommend every entrepreneur in this kind of coaching and healing leadership kind of space. If you don't have a scheduler, and you don't have an email list start there. A scheduler is an online scheduler, so people can take a link and book themselves on your calendar. If you've ever tried to make an appointment with someone, and you've gone through six or seven emails back and forth, trying to find a time that works for both of you, and then somebody has to figure out the Zoom link, then somebody has to add it to the calendar. And all of that could be done in one click of a link. That is the first time saving tool, any entrepreneur or anyone who's working outside of you know, a regular nine to five job... that online schedule or if you need to make appointments with someone, that's the first thing that's going to save you a ton of time. You should not be responding and replying to five emails just to set one appointment.Mischa Zvegintzov 11:56It's ludicrous, right?Molly Mandelberg 11:57It's ludicrous.Molly Mandelberg 11:58And then the email list... beginning to build your audience.Molly Mandelberg 12:01People think email marketing is dead. Molly Mandelberg 12:03Email marketing, the old way it used to be done is definitely dead. People do not want 30 blasts hard selling them on something that they may or may not want. That's gone. But there are ways to use your email list to actually build a relationship with people. And if anybody was around, we'll say mid October, in 2021. Facebook and Instagram went down for half a day. Nobody could get in, nobody could see anything new. If you were building our marketing presence on those platforms, that was probably a scary day for you. Because nobody could see what you were doing. And you couldn't reach out to anyone. And you might notice that that could happen any time those platforms are not set in stone. They could die. Your account could be closed for no reason. It's really hard to get ahold of anyone.Molly Mandelberg 12:48So building an audience, on your own system, your own email list, where you're actually finding people who want to be in your inner circle, and having a chance to connect directly with them. Yes, not everyone will open every email. Yes, not everyone will want to buy your stuff. But you have an opportunity there to actually cultivate a connection with your people in a way that you don't on social media.Molly Mandelberg 12:48So building an email list and figuring out how to connect with them is the next one.Molly Mandelberg 12:58And one of the things I would put, I usually put on my clients, you know, priority list. Is to find ways to connect with those people when you're not selling. So a lot of people are like, Okay, I have a list, but I'm not growing my list. And I'm not really connecting with them unless I'm having something to invite them to. Well, there's this energetic. I call it an energetic bank account that we have with each individual that's on our list. And if we're just asking and inviting and making calls to action, and asking people to register and click after a while, it feels pretty slimy. It's like stop asking me for stuff. I don't want it. I don't know you, I don't care. And it feels like you're taking taking taking.Molly Mandelberg 13:59So the antidote to that is to make deposits in that energetic bank account by delivering actual value. And that could be your podcast, that could be videos you've put on YouTube. That could be just a note of like, here's what I'm thinking about. Here's a story about something that happened to me and what I learned from it. That's just I just want to share that with you hope you have a great day, adding little value contribution nuggets like that makes the energetic bank account feel better when you're ready to go and make a withdrawal, so to speak, ask people to click or to register or to show up to something.Mischa Zvegintzov 14:32Can I ask you a question?  A little nuance within that.  If you're... because you were talking to me... we had a conversation andI was like yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to increase my email rate to my list. And you're like, Well, you you, you do a podcast episode every day you could affect and I can't remember how you said it. You said you could do like you could say here's my here's this email... Here's this podcast episode that I did. Here's the main gist of it. Here's the highlight. Listen for the rest. Is that kind of what you said?Molly Mandelberg 15:11Yeah totally yeah.  That is both. I mean, because you're asking them to come over and click it. In some ways, it could be seen as an ask.  But because it's free. And you're not asking them to register or give them any give you any information, it is kind of just a value add. The reason I said put the little nugget, the juicy synopsis or whatever in there in the email.Molly Mandelberg 15:32Some of your audience wants to read stuff, some of your audience wants to listen to stuff, some of your audience wants to watch stuff. So giving them the option of receiving your juicy nugget of value in a way that works for them is how you kind of serve the whole people.Mischa Zvegintzov 15:48Yeah. love it. That's great. Do you what? What....Mischa Zvegintzov 15:53So a couple of things come to mind. And one is, you know, it's easy to stay, say start building an email list, saying it in the reality of one day at a time starting to build that email list are two different things. But I'm also intrigued how did you?  Well. So you're obviously building your list. Pre Karen, right? Pretty good Karen. You're you're building your list, but it's more focused on hypnotherapy, NLP, things like that more of the healing modality. You have the epiphany with Karen, your friend...Mischa Zvegintzov 16:29what was your friend's name? Who was like, Hey, speak at my thing. You remember his name, or her name?Molly Mandelberg 16:33The place where I won this where I had the speaking opportunity? That was called Thrive Academy, which is an amazing business growth thing for people who are early on in their business and want to find their niche and learn how to make find clients.Mischa Zvegintzov 16:45Cool. And so was it in their online? Yes. So was it an opportunity to present online?Molly Mandelberg 16:50No, it was years ago. So it was in person at a conference.Mischa Zvegintzov 16:54Hence the you were looking for the Table Rush it worked? Yeah, we'll tie that in. So. So you are going to you said...Molly Mandelberg 17:07You're asking how do I interact with my list when I'm changing my niche?Mischa Zvegintzov 17:10Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 17:11Well, well, hold on. hold. So if I'm interested... what was your presentation? You said I changed it overnight. Right? You had? Yeah. So was that easy? Or sticky? Or was it did it come quick? Or was it...Molly Mandelberg 17:25I was at a speaking conference where they were teaching me how to be a good speaker and make an offer. So I was using their template in their framework to rewrite my speech. So my speech beforehand was more... I forget I was changing my niche a lot that first couple years, or that first few months in Thrive Academy, but it was something like finding your purpose.Molly Mandelberg 17:47Which I had noticed over a few months, nobody actually wants to put down money to find their purpose, at least they didn't want to with me.  It was a little bit too vague and not really like hitting on a true pain point, which is, what do you actually want to be? Or how do you actually want to, you know... usually the niches that work very directly speak to being... finding more wealth.Mischa Zvegintzov 18:11YepMolly Mandelberg 18:12Being healthier, or feeling more beautiful, or healing or transforming your relationships. So being in a purpose niche, I wasn't quite nailing one of those directions. And that's why nobody was really showing up. So when you're talking about growing a business that's directly related to increasing my financial abundance, and so people are more likely to invest in working in something like that.Mischa Zvegintzov 18:36So you, you You're, you're pre that moment, you as you're taking... you're taking classes to learn how to present... Which I love. I think that's such a cool thing. I did not know that about you. So you're taking that to be more effective.Molly Mandelberg 18:51And at the beginning of my business, I was learning whatever the hell I could to help me.Mischa Zvegintzov 18:55So good. That's I think it's so powerful.Molly Mandelberg 18:57Yeah, it's important to to invest in mentorship of people who know how to do what you want to do is a really like, high level way to go about anything. If you don't know how to do something, learning it from somebody who really does know how to do it is a fast track to figuring it out.Mischa Zvegintzov 19:14So good. And I think you know, that was a that's been a hard lesson for me over my life. People will say invest in yourself and that can be a very ambiguous term but that is clearly an actionable way to invest in yourself, right?Molly Mandelberg 19:29Yeah. Monetarily investing in mentorship and also investing time in learning something new that could look like reading a book and actually trying to implement what it tells you... Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 19:40So is this outside of thrive? So thrive and you taking these classes are two different things?Molly Mandelberg 19:45I was taking many different paths Thrive was one of the big ones at the beginning of my business.Mischa Zvegintzov 19:50Okay. And I'm sorry to get granular granular on you. But are you learning how to speak on stage through thrive and you win one of their...Molly Mandelberg 20:00I was.  In 2015 or 2016 .Mischa Zvegintzov 20:03You get the opportunity to present cuz you are doing a good job.Molly Mandelberg 20:07Yeah, I won their game. Mischa Zvegintzov 20:09You won their game. perfect.Mischa Zvegintzov 20:10So... you have the epiphany moment and before your headline or your thesis of your talk is literally, "I'll help you find your purpose".Molly Mandelberg 20:21Something along those lines. Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 20:23Then it became... Do you remember fairly specifically what it became?Molly Mandelberg 20:26It became "I'll help you get your business online basically".Mischa Zvegintzov 20:30Fantastic. Thank you.Molly Mandelberg 20:31Yeah. And that's evolved a lot since then to to be more specific.Mischa Zvegintzov 20:34Okay, cool.Molly Mandelberg 20:36So what to go back to what we were talking about which is you're growing an email list, you've got this audience of people who want to hear a certain kind of thing from you. I had to pivot to say, "This is who I'm talking to now. And this is the kind of stuff that I'm coming to." And this is a great email for anyone who changes in directions. And I mean, I had changed directions enough times that year that some people on my list got number, a number of these emails. Molly Mandelberg 20:59You basically want to say, "Hey, I'm so and so I'm here you've been hearing from me, or maybe you haven't been, and I am moving in a new direction. And I want to give you the chance to stay or go.  Are you down to hear from me about these kinds of things?  This is kind of stuff I'm gonna be sharing with you, and and inviting you to and talking about. And if you want to hear about that, no action necessary.  If you think you'd rather not hear about from that from me or about that at all, or for me at all anymore. This is your invitation to unsubscribe, or you can hit reply, and I will unsubscribe you for you. And that's really generous, because it's saying, Hey, here's what we're doing. And are you in or are you out. And if you're out no hard feelings. And if you're in, let's go.Molly Mandelberg 21:03So you can do it in a really connected way. And usually, the people who stick around are now probably less...Molly Mandelberg 21:54Anytime you lose subscribers, it's actually a good thing. Because you've now condensed your list to being more passionate about you. More connected, more happy to hear from you.  Anybody who leaves is taking themselves out of it. And so you now have got a more potent connection with your list. And so that... I mean part of those years, I was trying to figure out how to build my list in the first place. And I had to recreate new strategies and try different things and different things work.Molly Mandelberg 22:22But people are generally less inclined to just put their email in a box for no reason. They're more likely, Same with the energetic bank account idea, they're more likely to put their name and email in a box, if they are going to get something that they want. So people don't really want a newsletter. People don't really want to simply stay connected, although sometimes they will, if they think you're awesome, especially if you have a podcast, they've been connecting with you. They want to know what else is out there. But giving them a reason. So some kind of a free gift, some kind of a video series, some sort of a tool for them to receive more magic, only available through that portal, they'll come through the portal to get the thing.Mischa Zvegintzov 23:06So what are you doing today? What's your little (Free gift)?Molly Mandelberg 23:10Yes, so I've got tons of free gifts. Anytime you buy a program, or course of course you end up on my email list. And then I've got a free gift called the "Money Machine Blueprint", which is sort of the framework of how email lists work and tells you how to make a free gift and stuff like that.Molly Mandelberg 23:25The best free gift or lead magnet that I've ever created, which I had to create a course to teach people how to do it because it works so well. Is a quiz. I call it "A Client Attracting Quiz." And my quiz is on my website, it's, "What level of thought leader are you?" And it lets people know of the five stages that I created this framework with archetypes from the Major Arcana of the Tarot. Are you the fool? Are you the magician? Are you the High Priestess? the Empress? or the higher fan? And depending on where you land on that, what's the invitation to start growing into the next phase. So people get this beautiful 16 page PDF all written up about how where they're at right now is perfect.  How it's really a beautiful part of the phases of growing a business and becoming a thought leader. And how to overcome their inner arch nemesis to begin expanding into the next level. So that quiz has gone through three or four different maybe five different iterations over the years. But after I saw it start really working. I started running a $5 a day Facebook ad to it. And I grew my list to like 10,000 after a year or two.Mischa Zvegintzov 24:33That is amazing.Molly Mandelberg 24:35So I was getting 70 to 100 leads every single week just by running a small add to my quiz. And that was the biggest list grow thing ever and I had peers of mine colleagues of mine that I've done other projects with tell me I was a damn fool for not teaching people how to do what I did with that. And so I created a course to do that.Mischa Zvegintzov 24:55Tell me the name of the course again,Molly Mandelberg 24:57Quiz mastery.Mischa Zvegintzov 24:58And it's all in your... they can go to I've got it over here. Is that on your where to go? Why? What's your website? Again?Molly Mandelberg 25:07www.WildHeartsRiseUp.comMischa Zvegintzov 25:09Yes, www.WildHeartsRiseUp.com. I'm looking over here anybody wondering what I'm looking at? And say it again, because I'm thinking we definitely want people to hear that again. So they can...Molly Mandelberg 25:24www.WildHeartsRiseUp.com. And if you go to offerings, and then programs, you'll find it.  Called Quiz Mastery. And on the home page you'll see the quiz if you want to take it and see how you like it. Nine questions. It's really fun.Mischa Zvegintzov 25:37Nice. And it's fun, how fun, it's fun, and educational.Molly Mandelberg 25:41That's the thing is people love to interact with a quiz because it's a game. And we've been playing games for 1000s of years, people want to be entertained, they want to be asked questions about themselves. And through the process of answering those questions. They're already learning something about themselves. So there's this introspection, this self awareness and this gamified experience, that is just more fun than other free gifts.Mischa Zvegintzov 26:05It's beautiful.Mischa Zvegintzov 26:06Question on the the inspiration to say, "I'm changing directions. This is it, if you want to hear about it. Fantastic. You don't have to do anything just to enjoy, learn whatever. Or unsubscribe." Was that taught to you? Or it was that inspiration?Molly Mandelberg 26:27I just sort of, I don't think I learned that from anyone.Mischa Zvegintzov 26:31Just intuitive at this point. Trial and error. You're like people... like people want to know this. They don't just...Molly Mandelberg 26:36Well, yeah, I mean, I wanted to feel authentic and sending them a different kind of content. So I wanted to let them know that things were changing, new stuff was gonna be coming.Mischa Zvegintzov 26:46And then the quiz thing was that a little combination inspiration... you'd heard of thatMolly Mandelberg 26:51That was from a book called "The ask method" by Ryan Levesque (https://amzn.to/3JhWFr5) who really designed that whole process from a lot of research and human psychology and stuff like that. So he came up with a system, and I just kind of reverse engineered what I learned from him.Mischa Zvegintzov 27:09Fantastic. So thank you for sharing that. Anybody who's listening? Watching. Is like, Oh, this is awesome. They can reach out to you. And you would be like, hey, I'll walk you through this. Let's, let's get your... I'll teach you even how to use the online calendar. And, and let's start building your list. And here's the quiz.  And you, you'd be like, alright, you would dig in and be like, alright, what kind of quiz are we going to make for you? Like, if I called you, you'd be like, alright, Mischa, what do you like? What are you passionate about? Let's get the quiz together. You could help somebody with that?Molly Mandelberg 27:46Yes, I do. I have the the quiz Mastery program is self guided. Sometimes I also run it live with q&a calls. And then I also have done for you services for quizzes where people can come to me and have the idea. And then I go and build the whole thing for them.Mischa Zvegintzov 28:01And you travel around in a van, which I'm looking at, which is incredible. It's... alright. Great. That's fantastic. Thank you. Alright, so...Molly Mandelberg 28:12I'm actually you just gave me a good idea I've been meaning to for a long time, I have a template for how to set up your scheduler, so you don't miss any steps. I'm going to put that as a free gift on my website, too. So if people need help getting the schedule or thing figured out, I'll I'll have that template up there soon.Mischa Zvegintzov 28:27Love it. That is a great gift. I'll jump in there and take advantage. I'm good at using the tool, but I don't have it. I've told you this myself and like I love the way you have all your little intricacies within it.Mischa Zvegintzov 28:41Cool. So all right, what if somebody kind of what's the next level? So there's that's like that's like bare bones basic get started, like what's next?Molly Mandelberg 28:49The next level usually is people. I sort of work with people who have been seeing clients for a while. So Thrive Academy is an amazing resource for somebody who's just getting started and needs to sort of figure out who their niche is. Start figuring out how to attract clients, how to do free consults, how to start really getting clear on who your people are and how exactly you serve them. Once people are clear on that there's usually a desire, there's often as desire to move from one on one services, to groups and online courses. So I'm really the best resource. Well, I'm the best resource that sounds really cocky. I am great for people who want to move from one on one to groups. and they already know who their clients are one on one and they're ready to systemize their process. or to develop an offering so that people who can't afford their one on one work have somewhere to go. or people who would prefer to be in a community setting learning the stuff from them have somewhere to go. and how to create that process so that it's easy, and so that it's not a pain in the ass to run so that it's easy to sell it. People can just click a button and take it. how to start writing copies so that you can actually sell this to your email list or you can post about it confidently.Molly Mandelberg 30:07So it's the copy and the content creation and the technology to just make it easier to broadcast your message. And I also work with people who are just trying to grow their one on one practice, like, that's definitely still in my wheelhouse. And it takes some showing up, it takes some broadcasting, it takes some marketing. And marketing is kind of a dirty word in the heart centered healer space. But the truth is marketing is where we simply allow our light to shine more broadly out into the world so our people can see it, and find their way to us. And that's an important thing to do, because I think more people on this planet could use support. We need the healers to go big now.Mischa Zvegintzov 30:49Hmm. Two beautiful way you said that, thank you for that. And that is a that's a rough edge for a lot of that healer, mentality space, right? I don't know, mode modality is a better word.Molly Mandelberg 31:01Yeah.Molly Mandelberg 31:02There's a myth in there that says if I have this tool. if I have this modality. if I have this capacity for healing and helping, then I should give it away for free. And I shouldn't, I shouldn't be too big about it, because that won't be humble. So there's a lot of, like I said, limiting beliefs. And there's a lot of programming inside of us that says, Stay quiet, stay small, just do it on the side. And I think that is innately serving less people. And if you're on this earth, to be a healer, to be a leader to be a guide guiding people to greater in their lives, then how dare you not go do that and as big of a way as you possibly can, so more people can receive it.Molly Mandelberg 31:47And to think it's a contribution in some way to not charge for your services, because people can't afford you. People get more healing out of things that they have invested in energetically. And the biggest way we energetically invest in things on this plane is monetarily.Mischa Zvegintzov 32:05Yeah. Molly Mandelberg 32:06Yeah. And if you are doing your work, your healing for free, you have to work some other job in order to make a living. So you're doing less of that healing work. And that does not make sense to me.Mischa Zvegintzov 32:17Hmm. Thank you for that.Molly Mandelberg 32:19Yeah.Molly Mandelberg 32:20Unless you're independently wealthy, wealthy, and then do whatever you want to do. Hopefully do more healing work.Mischa Zvegintzov 32:27Right? Why not? Yeah, do it for free that donation base wherever you want.Molly Mandelberg 32:32Yeah, and I'm not shaming or making wrong, anybody. Everybody's on their own path. I just had a client this week who had a huge breakthrough, and finally pricing her, like private retreats that she hosts on her property that she's been doing for many, many years. and severely undercharging. And she finally had the realization... that she was doing one this past weekend. And it wasn't enough compensation for the energetic thing she was delivering for this couple on her property. And she finally upped her rates. And I was like, very pleased that she came to that realization. Because you think, you know, I see you, I see the value you're delivering, and it is worth more than you're saying it's worth. And would you be willing to be supported by your work in a bigger way, and allow the people coming to you to be supported by your work in a bigger way? Because they're energetically shown up for it? By paying what it's worth?Mischa Zvegintzov 33:31Hmm.Molly Mandelberg 33:32Yeah. I'm on that side of the fence. But everybody gets to do what they want and thenMischa Zvegintzov 33:36Right? No, right or wrong? Like if you're inspired to one or the other, own it go with it, right? I think. So. When you... would you say your like hearts...when you like your avatar, right? The Avatar is a thing that's bantered around a lot. or your ideal client? Or how do you say it in what you're doing?Molly Mandelberg 34:00My ideal client is this spiritual woman entrepreneur who wants to make a bigger difference.  Who's ready to reach more people, and who wants to do that with more freedom and more light and aliveness than they thought that it was possible?Mischa Zvegintzov 34:16How do you feel about the people that are in that space doing what they're doing, trying to grow? Like you're encouraging them to grow, helping them grow, supporting them to grow clearly inspiring them to grow? What about using terms in that space of "heart centered"? Is that a legit term?Molly Mandelberg 34:37I use the term heart centered? Yeah, my, your money machine is one of my online courses, which is all about list creation and how to set that up. I think I'm going to rename it something like email marketing magic or something like that. Yeah, but its marketing is to the heart centered warrior goddess entrepreneurs. Yeah, I use heart centered a lot too.Mischa Zvegintzov 34:59Yeah. What do you call on the men's side of that? Or there isn't a lot of men doing that? Or what do you what do you like?  Go ahead.Molly Mandelberg 35:05I mean, I think spiritual men is clear. I don't know, I haven't spent a lot of time marketing to men. I've had clients who are men.  but I don't cater my marketing to men, because I think there's already a lot of business tools and support out there for men.Mischa Zvegintzov 35:20Hmm, it's interesting.Molly Mandelberg 35:23Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 35:24Um, I wonder too, sometimes if, like, the the, like, the the woman's space is more... or that that feminine energy, I guess, is another term that we would use, right? It's like, it seems to be more robust. Obviously, feminine energy energy is going to be females who are embracing it more is that would you say, looking at market size, those are a lot more women?Molly Mandelberg 36:01I don't know about market size or not? I think more so than looking at the market. It's important to look at who you are and what you're here to do. And I, I tend to resonate more with helping women leaders rise up.Mischa Zvegintzov 36:15No, for sure. And I'm not trying to pigeonhole you and say you strategically went after that. More of I'm asking an honest question of, you're in the space, you're helping healers, you have men clients. I'm just curious if you're opinion...Molly Mandelberg 36:29I think a lot of men in general, are, are more inclined to a different style of marketing than I produce. Yeah. Which is a little bit more. I don't want to make broad generalizations like this. But like, Click Funnels marketing is more geared towards men.Mischa Zvegintzov 36:46Yeah,Molly Mandelberg 36:46yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 36:47Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's interesting. I was just interesting as I'm...Molly Mandelberg 36:51yeah. Well, because there are a lot of young men out there who are doing marketing successfully.  And I don't really need to compete with them when I'm serving slightly different audience.Mischa Zvegintzov 37:00Sure.Molly Mandelberg 37:01Yeah. Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 37:02Yeah. Yeah. Mischa Zvegintzov 37:04What's that?Molly Mandelberg 37:05And they do it well.Mischa Zvegintzov 37:07And they do it? Well, absolutely. And if you like, if your preference is to work with females? Great. right. Like I'm not, I think the worst thing to do is go, Well, I really like working with men, but it's the female markets bigger. That's for me in the way I do things could be a futile path. Right?Molly Mandelberg 37:33Right. It has to be something that you are passionate about. And that is true about any creative project, I think. And there are a lot of, I mean, there's a lot of women and men in the personal development space. And I think that the most important thing to pay attention to is who are you? And how will your people resonate with you? And how do you most want to serve them? And then carve your niche out of that? Usually, the best niche we land on? Is us a little while ago? Yeah, us two steps before now. Yeah, that's why we're able to help people because we're a few steps ahead of them on the same path.Mischa Zvegintzov 38:13Yeah, yeah, that's good. Tell me. So you find somebody rolls in. And they're, they're like, they have a robust one on one practice. And, and they're like, Alright, I'm ready to create some evergreen courses. That's another term that's thrown around evergreen or, or go one to many start doing group things. Like what are your steps to get people on that path?Molly Mandelberg 38:40I mean, usually, it's, you know, how much they have created already. figuring out what the best platform is that they want to do that on. If you're selling evergreen courses, or if you're wanting to streamline selling group programs, then having some sort of a sales page to check out cart to accessing a membership site software is going to be a great tool to create more ease with that. There are free ways to do it through, you know, PayPal link, and then Google Drive folder. And then there are more robust platforms like Kajabi, and kartra, and teachable and Thinkific and Podio is a cheaper one. On again, on my website, there's a Resources tab, which has all the software's that I recommend for these different levels of things.Molly Mandelberg 39:27I like Kajabi. And I also think kartra is very comparable and the offerings that it has right now. Yeah, but those are the higher level and for people who are maybe just starting out or who don't want to invest a lot in their first course or program because they don't know if it's gonna work yet. or because they're not sure that's the direction they really fully want to be moving in. There are cheaper options to.  and then once we have the platform, we start digging into the copywriting and what goes on The sales page, how are we going to welcome people and invite them in? How are we going to keep them engaged over the program? And how what do they need to know to show up and get it all done? And starting to build out the framework of how the user experience will be? And what are the pieces of the puzzle that need to get created? And then helping people put those pieces of the puzzle together?Mischa Zvegintzov 40:20Nice!Molly Mandelberg 40:21Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 40:22And depending on how committed someone is to that process, I imagine is how fast that.Molly Mandelberg 40:29How eager they are to create it, and how quickly they set a deadline. Like how soon they want to launch. Like I have one client right now who we've been working for, together for six or so months, and she hasn't really set a launch date yet, because she's still working on the program and wants to figure it out and make it perfect. And I have another client who we're working through like this third thing in two months, because she just wants to get stuff out. Yeah, it really depends on the person and how ripe the idea is.Molly Mandelberg 40:29Yeah, and I suppose how they like to... well I guess it is going to be a matter of trying, trying, trying until you find the till you find out how to connect your message with your...Molly Mandelberg 41:14And you will find that so much faster if you try. Yeah, the one thing I like to remind people of is, you cannot easily cognate your way to clarity. But if you start testing and trying and exploring and actually putting things out in the world, you will get clearer a lot faster.Mischa Zvegintzov 41:36This is a random question. But how many how do you have success selling your tarot cards?Molly Mandelberg 41:43I have sold about 300 decks? But I would say 150 of those were when I launched it. Oh, okay. Yeah. When I did an Indiegogo campaign to fund the initial printing of 500 decks. Yeah. And that was successful. And then I haven't pushed it a whole lot since then. But the people who love the deck, post about it on Instagram and share about it a lot. And I have a friend who's running a whole group program where he's using my deck as the topic for each of his classes. He pulls a card and then teaches about that energetic thing. And then yeah, one of my friends just texted me today that she gave another one of my deck away. So she buys them in five packs now.Mischa Zvegintzov 42:23Nice!Molly Mandelberg 42:24Yeah. So there's people who are really sharing it on my behalf. And then there's been a few podcast episodes where I just talk about my deck and that's helped too.Mischa Zvegintzov 42:32Yeah, cool. Um, when a previous conversation we had, I wrote down some notes van broke down, reclaim your power coincidence shifted relationship with your father, uh, you have a really sort of great...you know...Molly Mandelberg 42:48One of my Bitch slaps from the universeMischa Zvegintzov 42:50Yeah, bitch slaps from the universe. Why don't you? Why don't you tell me about that?Molly Mandelberg 42:54yeah, so I bought my van, three and a half, almost four years ago. And I started traveling it before I built it out. So it actually took me about two and a half years to finish the build inside because I didn't want to stay in one place and finished building it. I would just sort of drive to Colorado and build the bed and drive to Minnesota and put the solar panels on and drive to North Carolina and figure out the wiring of the solar panels. And so I was building it as I traveled around the country and did workshops and attended conferences and had speaking gigs and also just traveled to see friends and family. And on that first trip. Right after I left Oregon where my mom lives. I was about 1000 miles in and my turbo went out. I it was I didn't know it was a turbo yet they tried to fix the resonator. I made it on another 1200 miles. And what's interesting is the second time it went out I was listening to this book called busting loose from the money game. And if you look you have it.Mischa Zvegintzov 43:58I do I have it and I need to read it. Someone gave it definitely read it. Oh my books. What's that?Molly Mandelberg 44:02Read it? Yes. Okay, read it with caution after I tell you this story. So there's a process in that book. Basically, it's telling you how to step out of the matrix and recognize your the infinite being and take your power back from all the trauma and drama of this reality. And it tells you when you do this process, it's very likely that life or this reality, or the universe is going to hand you an opportunity to really walk your talk with this stuff. It's going to give you something to try and convince you that you are human and you're limited and this reality is real, and that you're a victim of it.Molly Mandelberg 44:43And so I'm listening to that process and he's basically telling me that and boom my turbo goes out again, or my van giant turbo dial diesel van goes into limp mode, and I'm on the highway and I'm just barely in Santa Fe New Mexico. So I limp off the highway I make it over a little crest and coast down to where I say there's a shop. And part of me is like, I'm doomed. I'm stranded. This is terrible. What am I going to do? And another part of me is like, wow, that happened real fast. So long story short, it's like $5,500 to fix the van, I don't have it. I, my mother, who I would normally borrow money from in a crisis is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on a ship, teaching her screenwriting class on a cruise crossing the Atlantic, unreachable. My father, who I had never asked for money for before, who's not a financial supportive person historically, in my life, I call him just to let them know where I'm at, and that I'm stranded and that I'm trying to figure this out. And he ends up being able to, like Pay Pal the money from a credit card to make it possible for them to start the repairs. Hmm. And so that's underway.Molly Mandelberg 46:01And I have this epiphany of like, Oh, I could email my list. My list was really small back then. But it was not tiny. And so this is an opportunity, I need money right now, why don't I put a flash sale out to my audience and see what happens. And so I sent an email. And within a few days, a couple people had bought a half price VIP day with me so that we can get a lot of work done on their business.Molly Mandelberg 46:24So those two things made it possible for me to get back on the road, I ended up having an awesome few days in Santa Fe going to 10,000 waves going to meow Wolf, which is why I was passing through Santa Fe in the first place. And my relationship with my dad completely changed. I now saw him as somebody who could support me in some way. And that was a shift, our relationship has been totally different. Since then, we're much closer and much, I don't know, I feel like more seen and held by him in a way that I didn't before that.Molly Mandelberg 46:58And I also got to know that, again, my email list is an amazing resource that, especially when I need to generate money really fast, it's there. And I can do that. And that's the whole point of having an email list and nurturing your audience is so that when you need to, you can press the button and find more, hopefully, create more income right then.Molly Mandelberg 47:21And in the process. This big scary upset of my van is broken and it's new. And I thought I was doing this big adventure. And now I'm screwed. And it's like, no, wait, I took my power back from that. Not only did I get these beautiful silver lining gifts, but I got my van fixed and back on the road and I am the infinite being creating my reality. Look at that. So it was a huge big lesson, which looks like to an outsider, A Bitch Slap From The Universe, but it ended up being a great thing.Mischa Zvegintzov 47:52Yeah, like what was a heavy, potentially gnarly time and probably very stressful in the moment scary in the moment. Yeah. Yeah. To just new, blossoming relationship with Father or new perspective for you and an opportunity for him to maybe do what he hadn't done before in a new way or whatever. And he took advantage, right. Like, how amazing is that? Yeah, seize that opportunity for your dad. God bless him. Right?Molly Mandelberg 48:20Yeah, totally.Mischa Zvegintzov 48:21And then, I think you told me if you don't mind me saying how big your list was at that time, is that al right?Molly Mandelberg 48:27It was like 600 or something.Mischa Zvegintzov 48:30Yeah.  So what was the offer that you made them? Do you remember? And is this...Molly Mandelberg 48:33It was a half price VIP day? So at that time, my VIP days were like 2500, I think. And so I was selling an eight hour package basically for 1250.Mischa Zvegintzov 48:45And this is like, this is post Karen. And so a few years post Karen...Molly Mandelberg 48:50yeah,Mischa Zvegintzov 48:51yeah, so you're at this point, likeMolly Mandelberg 48:53I had started to make a name for myself in the niche that I was in. And there were enough people on my list that were waiting for cheaper opportunity to work with me. Mischa Zvegintzov 49:03(Mischa cackling maniacally)Molly Mandelberg 49:03They took advantage of that, and I don't even do VIP days anymore. But if I did, they would be more than that. For sure.Mischa Zvegintzov 49:09That's amazing. Tell me tell me how do you nurture that moment? Because I think it's so beautiful and poignant and to see your father in a new light?  And you know I have kids you know. and so when they were born I'm like, Oh, I knew aware... knew appreciation for mom and dad right? Oh, my kids are now you know, smelly 10 year olds.  new appreciation for my parents, right whatever. This moment for you. How quickly do you... are you like that was that was a powerful moment? or was this like a year later? Or in the moment? Are you like, "oh my gosh!"?Molly Mandelberg 49:59No. I sobbed a lot when that happened, because in my story in my head was that my dad doesn't have my back in that way that my dad is more of a Brother Uncle figure than like a father who can support me. So, yeah, it was really big in the moment. And I recognized it right away. It was after the fact I think that I noticed my energy toward him had shifted to, over time, in the times that we've hung out since then.Mischa Zvegintzov 50:31Did you try to nurture that in a different way now?Molly Mandelberg 50:35I think I'm more forgiving of him as a person, more in allowance of him. I mean, I've also undergone another, however many years of personal development work and healing on my own to help that relationship. I won't say it was all from that moment. Yeah, he gets he's grown up more in the last few years to.  In his mid 70s.Mischa Zvegintzov 50:56(Mischa babbling for a couple seconds)Molly Mandelberg 50:57It was hard and, and, like challenging, especially when I was younger, and it has become more beautiful and better over time. And that was definitely a turning point for us.Mischa Zvegintzov 51:09It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing that. I can't let this one little thing that you said go by either. Mom was on a cruise. Great writing class. What?Molly Mandelberg 51:21Yeah, my mom is a wildly successful screenwriter. She's had a, like 40 plus year success as a writer. And she teaches she used to teach Screenwriting at UCLA Film School, and she moved to Oregon, when I was like seven. So that was like 28 years ago. So she's been teaching at PSU and out of her living room in Portland, Oregon for the last 20 years or so. And about 12 or 13 years ago, she decided to start doing it as a retreat. So she always takes a transatlantic cruise liner. And there's always at least six or seven days at sea before you get to Europe, and people right and take her class in the morning and write all afternoon on the at sea days. And then everybody goes in frolics around Europe on the days that they're in Port.  Yeah it's a pretty awesome retreat, especially for anybody who wants to be a writer. And if you decide to go on that retreat, tell her I sent you. And I've gone on it five or six times myself, and I always get a lot of writing done.Mischa Zvegintzov 52:20Wow, that is amazing.Molly Mandelberg 52:23That quiz started on the ship, or at least got a lot of creation done the quiz that I made, a lot of that writing happened on the ship. And when I was in my 20s, I was writing a novel a ton of that novel got written on the ship. And last two years ago, I started writing a book about my life as an entrepreneur.Molly Mandelberg 52:43And a lot of that got written on the ship too. It's a really beautiful way to get a lot of writing done because you don't have to cook anything. You don't have to go anywhere. There's nothing to do on a cruise ship. That's actually fun. So you're sort of forced to sit there and get things done.Mischa Zvegintzov 53:02And what a great conduit your mother. sounds like she is. and then also just being in the space with others to where like minded and...Molly Mandelberg 53:09collective consciousness of creation.Mischa Zvegintzov 53:12Beautiful. What do you think? Tell me the top three things you've learned from your mother over the years.Molly Mandelberg 53:20I've learned everything from my mother. I mean, I am most grateful for getting to witness her living a creative life successfully, that she was never someone telling me I should get a real job or I should pigeonhole myself into something that wasn't for me. She's been my biggest champion and supporter of living a very creative and, and conforming lifestyle. Which I'm sure was harder when I was younger and more crazy than the van life is really a stable life for me compared to who I used to be.Molly Mandelberg 53:55Yeah, a writer. I mean, I know so much about story crafting and about the process of letting a project come to life because of her. And most most grateful for the, the way she sees the world.  I was raised believing in the law of attraction. believing in many lives and believing in like a higher consciousness, then religion would give me a view of. and so I'm really grateful for the spiritual understanding that I was raised with. And I think that's shaped me into a lot of the person that I've become because I had those as answers when I was asking questions as a kid.Mischa Zvegintzov 54:34That's unbelievable.Molly Mandelberg 54:35Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 54:37Any tension points with you and your mom over the years?Molly Mandelberg 54:40Oh, sure. Yeah, I mean, we have to rebel against something. It's so much more confusing when you're rebelling against just too much love but yeah...Mischa Zvegintzov 54:48OMG!  that's amazing.Molly Mandelberg 54:50Yeah, she also remarried. When I was six she married very verbally abusive alcoholic who was her high school sweetheart.Molly Mandelberg 54:59So if You didn't see it at first. So a lot of my resistance with my mom was just resenting her for bringing that into our lives. But as I got wiser, I recognize that there was a part of me that chose that as my path so that I could arise from that. And that we were all... in my opinion... we all chose that dynamic coming in so that we could learn what we need to learn from it.  which is pretty far out for some people who have been through trauma to try and recognize like, oh, I chose this, that there's been a lot of freedom and taking responsibility for that part of my life having gone like that. and then getting to choose to evolve from it. And so I stopped blaming her for that being a hard childhood.Mischa Zvegintzov 55:40Hmm. Hmm.Molly Mandelberg 55:41Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 55:43You remember, when that shift started taking place?Molly Mandelberg 55:47Yeah, I was like 28. 29. When my business started is when I started seriously, doing a lot of personal development work and healing, and taking my power back and giving up blaming other people for my life. And that was part of that process.Mischa Zvegintzov 56:12What was your entree into that? Was it like Tony Robbins? Or was it like, I mean,Molly Mandelberg 56:18I forget, but I was going, I've been to so many conferences and workshops and read hundreds of personal development books on healing and transformation. So it was the process of all that.Mischa Zvegintzov 56:30Hmm.Mischa Zvegintzov 56:33Just quick question, just for fun, like, somebody who's in that space, right? And we all come to that point, I believe. well, I don't know. Maybe not everybody.  But I definitely come to those points have got to find forgiveness.  Gotta take accountability. gotta... Right? And that's sort of some of those.Molly Mandelberg 56:51Yeah,Mischa Zvegintzov 56:52Bitch slap moments. And I think there's a difference between reading and then applying. Right? So I can keep reading about the things that you're talking about. reading these books, going to these conferences. But like, which, what, you know what I mean, like some people get stuck...Molly Mandelberg 57:10get some of the tools that have worked best for me, the work by Byron Katie, which is books that I've read, "Loving What Is" is a great book by Byron Katie, which covers the work. I had a lot of personal development and growth stuff happened at Thrive Academy, which is a business training program. But there's a lot of transformational development that comes in there. Access Consciousness is a entire modality school of thought that has dramatically changed my life and helped me see my point of view and question it on a regular basis that most of the big shifts in my energetic and like emotional body, life space has happened through Access Consciousness, and I won't go into what that is because it's so hard to define. And it is limitless. But if the words Access Consciousness resonate with you at all, I highly recommend looking it up watching YouTube about it. I'm reading some books. Dain Heer wrote a great book called Being You Changing the world, which is about Access Consciousness. And then,Mischa Zvegintzov 58:11Quick side note. I did a thing called tools for a Good Life Summit, where I brought in all these different modalities. And I reached out to I want to Dane, I was like, I want Dave to be your guide, but whatever he was, he was like, yeah, yeah. Anyway, but go on. So... Molly Mandelberg 58:28Yeah, totally, um... NLP was out as a lot of great healing and tools. And hypnotherapy was hugely transformational. For me too. IMolly Mandelberg 58:35think the main thing is, if you're aware that you could be happier. that your life could be greater. that your relationships could be more deep, or connected or communicative. You are the only one who can change any of that. And so when you start to recognize that... if your life is hard and struggling, and you're willing to take responsibility and be at cause for that changing.  then you become the dowsing rod for the tools you're meant to use to get to where you want to go.Molly Mandelberg 59:03But staying in the stuck and staying in the story. And staying in the woe is me, everything's wrong, is just a continuation of the same wrongness on and on and on. And if you start to say, Okay, I'm willing to take charge now I'm willing to choose to change this, I'm willing to be aware of whatever I need to be aware of to make my life better or greater, or happier or more whole. Or stop being broke and have money now, whatever that looks like. You will begin Dowsing for and discovering the tools that will work for you. And so I can rattle off all the best books that I've read. But as you start asking yourself what what you want to try, but is it going to be a book? Is it going to be a workshop? Is it going to be that podcast hosts that you've been listening to who just resonates with you so much? Like go and try it? Be willing to ask be willing to reach out, be willing to read the book and see how that helps.Molly Mandelberg 1:00:04For me, being someone who writes every day. I journal every morning and every evening. That's a huge part of my mental health and personal development work is just dropping everything that's on my mind onto a page, asking for guidance, writing what I'm grateful for. doing whatever magic tricks are in my book right now. And making that a regular twice a day, practice once a day, if I'm really busy, but every morning before I get out of bed every night before I go to sleep that's what I do.Mischa Zvegintzov 1:00:34thank you for that, that I am a big believer in that too. I am very sometimes at night, I have a hard time writing but I just my life. The perspective, the richness, the appreciation, that sometimes towards the end of the day, some of the egoic hiccups can carry weight. And so we're still for example, yesterday, lots of you know, I got to you interviewed me for your podcast, which was so much fun, thank you for that. And then I got to be on another podcast and I got to do another thing. And, and so my mind can sometimes go into the loop of...and it did yesterday can pick those, it can miss the 99% amazingness. And I can latch on and be like, oh, did I say that? That might not have been right or something? I don't know if you ever have any of that.Mischa Zvegintzov 1:01:30But you know, to, like journal that at the end of the night and and get perspective on it and be like, No, that's it's okay. You know. it's so powerful. anyway, just to back up what you said there. And then I have two more things to say. And then we can end I'm probably going to turn this into two episodes, the business one and the Bitch Slap one. You know, super fun. So thank you. Yeah, I love talking to you. I just I love talking to you. I think it's great.Mischa Zvegintzov 1:02:00Father, so outside of the moment of of "he is there to support me" that that beautiful moment for you. What are some top lessons from your father, given the tumultuous relationship... nature of the relationship?Molly Mandelberg 1:02:19I mean, my dad is a very fun and fun loving person. So I think the desire to laugh and the willingness to laugh and be silly and not not be too scared to talk to strangers. I mean, a lot of that, like fearlessness, shamelessness, kind of vibe I learned from my dad.Mischa Zvegintzov 1:02:45Hmm.Molly Mandelberg 1:02:47And I mean, my dad, a lot of my my mom's really smart, and she's really good at puzzles. But my dad and I have done so many projects, like building a trailer and like fixing a bike and like, so many, like hands on crafting things. that I think my confidence and being able to build things and actually make stuff. I think that a lot of that came from getting to make stuff and and be in that creative space with my dad a lot. So I'm really grateful for that engineering, figure it out fix a problem kind of stuff that I learned from my dad.Mischa Zvegintzov 1:03:24Yeah, you know, that probably translates to obviously into the van life. Right? You have the willingness or the capacity. Maybe that was there already. But you're like, yeah, it's no problem. Good.Molly Mandelberg 1:03:32Yeah. And my dad has helped me with a lot of things in the van too. Yeah. He always says, don't finish it before you get back. Yeah, okay. No promises, but I don't think the van will ever be done. There will always, always, always something already done the last time I went and saw him and we found things to fix anyway.Mischa Zvegintzov 1:03:49Good. Good. Um, I think clearly, like the bringing the engineering side so you can take your mom's creative capacity for words and stuff like that. And then dad's engineering or however you said that build things, and you get Bamm! quiz!Molly Mandelberg 1:04:11Yeah, yeah. Well, and lots of things I've created. Yeah. Yeah. and I both of my parents have sort of a non, I would say an alternative version of reality, like my dad is very into non duality. And we have lots of deep cosmic conversations about that. And my mom's more on the spirituality. I wouldn't say necessarily pagan, but like, consciousness and spirit realm stuff. And so the combination of those two have given me a really unique worldview. I think.Mischa Zvegintzov 1:04:42it's amazing. Again, I love talking to you and I always learned so much when I talk to you. so I have no doubt that any audience listening and perhaps watching if I've managed to get the systems in line to get it up on a YouTube channel, are learning something too? I am struck the few times that I talked to you, too. Yesterday when we had our interview at the end, and I think we were done talking, but you basically said, I'm amazing. Do you said I mean Molly am amazing. And I thought it was so beautiful because the way you said it was so non... There's no arrogance in it. There was no, there was no you know, it was it stripped of ego. That's the way it felt to me. So talk to me about that like that, that, thatMolly Mandelberg 1:05:38I'm allowed to be amazing. I don't see myself as more amazing than anyone else. I think everyone is amazing. And I'm willing to own that I am too. I don't remember saying that. But that's how I feel. Yeah,Mischa Zvegintzov 1:05:49no, I yeah, maybe I yeah, I don't know. I was pretty sure you said it. I was like, Yeah, becauseMolly Mandelberg 1:05:55when it when it's said from a place of I'm more amazing than other people or that I think I'm better than anyone else. That's when arrogance comes through.Mischa Zvegintzov 1:06:04Yeah, yeah. Well, so I love how you frame that because in the moment that you said that I was like, Oh my God, I am amazing. You are amazing. Yeah, thank you. Right and not and I love that no more. Not from an arrogant place but let the amazing this shine. So yes.Molly Mandelberg 1:06:21And everyone out there listening. You're amazing toMischa Zvegintzov 1:06:26Like dive in. Be Amazing, right. Molly, thank you so much. It's been beautiful, so much fun. I cannot wait to see if and when we get to chat again, whatever that looks like. And I'm going to hit stop and we will say goodbye offline.Molly Mandelberg 1:06:45Bye everyone.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Death, it turns out and I'm hesitant to talk about death. And it's a very interesting fact, I believe I've interviewed specifically for this podcast, I think 30 to 40 people somewhere in there...open loop, hold that thought. Before I get to it. I want to tell you to make sure to buy a Shure MV 88 mic, buy it through the link in my podcast notes. Get yourself the Shure MV 88 mic, if you're an Apple user, or the Shure MV 88. Plus if you're an Android user. Because you can grab that mic as you walk out the door and are driving in your car or walking or doing a multitude of things. And you can record your episode. And part of producing content for people to consume is recording. So make it easy on yourself. Get the Shure MV 88. It's going to do two things it's going to allow you to record and, and be I get a little kicker, if you buy it through the link in my show notes, and it's a tiny little thing and you pay the same price you would anyway on Amazon. So buy through the link, it's the Amazon link and I get a fee as an Amazon associate. How exciting is that? All right, back to the point of this podcast. Well, before I do that, let me just say that, I can see that people are clicking and not buying. So some of you out there know you should have it. This mic so you can start recording, but they haven't pulled the trigger yet. So pull the trigger. Get the darn mic. Start Recording your episodes consistently. Okay, I'm done.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:24Now, in regards to death, so I've probably interviewed between 30 and 40 people specifically for the podcast. And when I say specifically for the podcast, because I interviewed 20 People for the summit, and I've interviewed five or 10 for my soon to be released new YouTube channel, and podcast rebrand. But of the Bitch Slap official interviews of let's call it 35. Two people have died. Yes. Two of the interviews, two of those people have passed away. No joke. And I think that's crazy. I've been interviewing at the time of this recording. I have been at this podcast for about a year. And two people have passed away, which is very interesting. God bless him. Glenn, the Glenn interview, Glenn. God bless Glen. He's somewhere down there. And then. And, Glen, I can't remember his last name right now, because it's always anonymous. Glen something but look for the Glenn interview. And then Ann Fangio. So Ann Fangio. We were a Christian lady who we were talking about Christians divorce and relationships. And you know, how the religion the religious, faithful can leverage going to hell. Against divorce in bad relationships or whatever. It was a fascinating interview. I totally encourage you to go check it out. But yeah, she passed away. I'm not sure how. But I just saw on the Facebook. And the reason I bring this up is I oftentimes I have an opportunity to mentor people. And oftentimes one of the things I encourage them to do is meditate on death and how powerful that is. And you know, some of the sages and saints out there occurred, encourage said behavior, like gets good Hindu practice, for example, or, you know, some of the Indian like.on Your forehead Indian, no disrespect I shows my ignorance as being from Wyoming. anyway, you get what I'm saying. from the land of India.  They'll encourage you to meditate on death.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:32And meditate on the fact that the way we are going to relate to this world is going to change, it's going to change, there's no way around it. And if you do that, perhaps you can suss out what's truly important, and begin to let go of what's not important. And you can find what's true to you. What's true to you, not true to somebody else. Like if you literally contemplate the fact that your relationship to this world is going to end by what we like to call death, then you can start to get clarity. And I also have found for me that it's helps me take a lot of things that I take seriously. Not so seriously. It helps me free my mind from attachments of how people should be acting.  how my kids should be acting. friends should be acting. associates. or thinking or politicians or whatever it really, for me, can shift my perspective. And I love it. And it's it does it for me in a good way. Now, for someone else. Who knows. But I like to do it. And I recommend that people do it. And sages over the centuries, and millennia recommend that people do it. So it's not a new idea. I've done it I had a sponsor told me meditate on death, or a mentor. Misha meditate on death. And it is, again, freed me of a lot of false expectations of a lot of expectations of my self. That's allowed me I think one of the best things this is in the space I'm in right now. It's allowed me to find what's important to Misha. And so I can move towards that. Letting go of other people's expectations of me, society's what I believe our society's expectations of me. You know, loved ones expectations of me. Like it can help give so much clarity. And yeah, and I've seen it help other people. Yeah. And then lastly, I'll say it again, help you not helps me not take things so seriously.Mischa Zvegintzov  08:32And lastly it removes it starts to remove this idea of separation. Like gives me a glimpse it has given me personally a glimpse into the the truth that we are not separate, that we are all one. And what a powerful concept that is.  Iused to take that concept very lightly. I don't know if lightly is the right word, but not give it much weight or gravitas or take it seriously. And I find that I take it much more. It provides me much more freedom, like it gives me insight that it takes all the leaves on the tree to make the tree beautiful. Right. So if you're looking at the individual leaf, or the individual human, we see the flaws. But if we can step back and see all the shimmering leaves, and if you step back far enough, like almost every trees beautiful. to me anyway, that's me. It's an insight that has been given me. And lastly, as I'm into my 50s now as I record this years old right And I interview people that are perhaps in my age bracket or older than me. Well, people, odds are your time's coming sooner than the youth. So it's a total statistics. It's a it's a it's a matter of statistics. Yeah. I just such such an interesting thing that a couple people that I've interviewed have passed. That's what I've got for you don't take life so seriously. meditate on death, and who knows what the results can bring. I found it very useful in my life.

And so I'm there I've cleaned off my desk, I've had a stack of 20 sticky notes I'm halfway through this is part two of that episode. Okay, here we go. First, well, first episode, first. First, sticky note of the rest of the stack. When anything seems to you to be a source of fear... take this from one... Take this from one and look upon it, judging it. Oh!  take this from me and look upon it judging it for me. Let me not see it as a sign of sin and death, nor use it for destruction. Teach me how to make of it... An obstacle to... Oh! teach me how not to make of it an obstacle to peace, but let you use it for me to facilitate it's coming.  Peace is coming. So A Course In Miracles anybody who's been listening to me over the year or more or moving forward I will reference A Course In Miracles. I love it. I've been deep in the Course In Miracles for two and a half years by now. If you're catching this episode later, years later, well maybe I've been in it for a decade by the time we've been listening you you get to this episode. Anyway love the Course of Miracles it's been very powerful in my life. and helping bring me lots of spiritual peace closer to God, all that kind of stuff.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:05What else do I need to tell to say about that when anything seems to you to me to be a source of fear, say take this from me and look upon it judging it for me. In other words, Mischa doesn't need to judge this. I need to stop judging it.  "let me not see it as a sign of sin and death nor use it for destruction.  Help me look on it as peace.  I love that thought. teach me how to make of it and ops...  teach me how not to make it an obstacle to peace. but let you use it for me to facilitate it's coming. Peace is coming. I love that love that about the Course In Miracles it's constantly saying hey, this idea of sin, and this this may chap you but so be it. I love the thought, sin is not real, like forgiveness is everything. got to learn to forgive ourselves and others and on and on and on. and and how do we co-create with source? and for me right now I can still express itself through entrepreneurship. that co-creation with source anyway. next sticky.  I can barely keep up with my own neuroses let alone yours. freakin love that I wrote... there's more to this sticky... My job today is what if I want it to be... Oh what I want it to be is the... oh... what I want it to be is the amount of looks likes views downloads does not matter and that is slowing me down.  Okay, I can barely keep up with my own neuroses let let alone yours. I love that thought that's the first thought. and if I can remind myself of that or you have that maybe you'll lighten up and lighten up on your friends family and the world. You can barely keep up with your own or with any with your own neuroses let alone someone else's. Okay My job today is what if I want what I want it to be is the amount of looks likes views downloads does not matter. That's what I want. I want this to not matter. Because that's slowing me down. I love that thought. If I cannot have it about looks views, download downloads all that. So waste of time. Do I talk about the next one? Do I talk over women more than I talk over men? This is Oh, this was very q&a q&a episode. I seem to be a natural at this. A friend this was a friend that had listened to I interviewed his wife. This is this is my I interviewed Mel McClay it's such a great episode interview one of the first interviews I didMischa Zvegintzov  05:01But her husband, Kevin, Hey, Kevin, if you happen to listen to this, was like, Hey, I think you were talking over my wife. so I was like "huhh, maybe I was?" I listened to it. I was like, Oh, maybe I was. And then I was wondering, do I talk over women more than I talk over men? Turns out I perhaps just talk over everybody. And he said, I seem to be a natural this so I took that in. Thank you for that. Kevin McLave. Listen to Mel McLave's  interview, she made the claim and I talked about death. She's a death doula super fun. Waylon came over and ate the leftovers. Oh my gosh, I love that episode. I woke up and saw the Tupperware in the sink. And I did a podcast episode on this because yeah, I came out for my morning coffee and there was the Tupperware in the sink.   And Waylon had come over on a nightie usually doesn't come over. It's my 18 year old son as of this recording. And my heart was so full. It was like oh my god, he redid the kitchen. And look there's the Tupperware in the sink is proof I was so happy all my heart was so full. was blessed with a gift. You can listen to that episode. It's someone somewhere on there. I think it's literally called Waylon ate the leftovers. Alright, next 12 by five eights number 10. round head Phillips Sherman Williams, paint marker. mortar mix backsplash? I like my full life. What will I trade? Hmm, I don't know what that meant. was obviously buying Phillips. Phillips head screwdrivers for something number 10. Sure. Sherman Williams paint marker. And what else do we have mortar mix backsplash? Oh, yeah, I was working from the kitchen episodes when the kitchen and stuff was being worked on.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:11Next sticky, I am responsible for what I see. If I choose the feelings I would experience and I decide, Okay, start over I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I will experience and I decide upon the goal I would achieve. And everything that seems to happen to me, I asked for and receive as I have asked.  I love that thought.  Well, I don't like that thought because it means I create my reality. But I love that thought because it means I create my reality and I can create it awesome. And so I've been meditating in the mornings these days. And trying to come back to it throughout the day. What are the feelings I want to feel what are the experiences that I want to have like trying to connect with source you know, the God within and the universe.  that co creation experience. And then create my reality. So love that next sticky I give you to the Holy Spirit as part of myself. that previous one was Course In Miracles.  This is another Course In Miracles. I give you to the Holy Spirit as part of myself.  I know that you will be released unless I want to use to use you to imprison myself, my gosh, this one's heavy, and the name of my freedom I choose your release. Because I recognize that we will be released together Holy mackerel, A Course In Miracles stuff I give you to the Holy Spirit as part of myself. I know that you will be released unless I want to use you to imprison myself. in the name of my freedom I choose your release because I recognize that we will be released together. I love that that's that forgiveness that's like that illusion of separation and then if I'm have that resentment and that contempt that judgment, on and on I can use all those terms that it's really you're just the mirror. so if I'm judging you I'm judging me. And so if I release you I released me love that thought. I could go deeper on that but there's some episodes in there. you know, the good news is the more I release you and release me the better I am at co creating this entrepreneurial stuff so I'll make that connection for you.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:50Next sticky. Three. What is my process that I can do an episode every day? Yeah, I love that. I do an episode Every day some people seem to have an issue with that not saying that everybody should want to do an episode every day but I'm very close to doing an episode every day for a year. And can't wait to see what comes after that next thought on that sticky. What is too much content? (? Waylon) Oh yeah, Waylon was like maybe you should be doing an episode every day. Maybe an episode every day is too much. I was like, Damn, that's actually a great question. But I'm committed to the episode every day to get my thoughts out there trying to be of service and I am going to do another episode is on what is my process that I can do an episode every day. I actually think I did like the 10 steps to doing an episode every day or something like that. So you can dig through their. next episode, our next sticky I've got three left. So excuse me, thank you for listening. I am not alone. And that would not intrude, intrude the past upon my guest. More Of Course In Miracles and stuff, I invited him and he is here capital H on both of those. I Need Do Nothing except not to interfere. How nice of a thought is that? I am not alone and I would not intrude the past upon my guest. Again, let that baggage go. can I see things brand new with fresh eyes moving forward and not bring the baggage of the past into this moment? I have invited capital H Him and capital H He is here. Ie God the Holy Spirit. You know, however you want to say the Infinite Intelligence whatever. I need do nothing except not interfere. We should just need to keep out of the way. Love that.Mischa Zvegintzov  12:07Oh yeah, I had a buddy. So next. Second, the last sticky note, Charlie, the episodes are helping him. I was so excited. A friend was like, Hey, I've been listening to your episodes. I love them and they're helping me. How gratifying was that? What if I had nowhere to go? And nothing to do? Oh, what if I had nowhere to go and nothing to do? I will do a meditation on that. Learn to love yourself. Then you won't care so much about the relationships you're in or not in. Oh I love that thought. So the last thought on that sticky goes without saying right? Do I need to say any more in regards to that? I'm trying to be in that space. Last sticky Rev. Interview. Who do I want to help? While I figure out who I want to help.  Oh my god that's so amazing. Who do I want to help while I figure out who I want to help? One liners. schedule interviews, Amazon affiliates. Copy.ai. Oh, hey, Jarvis.AI.  Eight dash eight eastern time chat that's just random random notes.

Well, or slight pivot. I suppose when I say new beginnings, meaning committing to shifting to Table Rush and, and a more business oriented direction. and my spirituality as it manifests through entrepreneurship.  Through my entrepreneurship, as I like to say.  But anyway, I've been saying for a long time that I would go through all the sticky notes on my desk, so I finally made a stack of them. There's got to be a good 20 of them right here. 15 to 20. And they're all ideas over the months since I started my podcast. And yeah, so I thought I'd get to it. First sticky in the stack "are thoughts energy?" I love that question. One of my first episodes I had lightly broached that subject. I have done no further research on it as of yet but I definitely want to make that in an episode. Because I think it's a great thought and a great concept.  Are thoughts, energy, and if so, what are the implications of that?  Next sticky, I desire this holy instant for myself, I desire this holy instant for my self, myself small s self.  That I may share it with my brother whom I love.  It is not possible that I can have it without him or he without me yet it is wholly possible for us to share it now. And so I choose this instant as the one to offer to the Holy Spirit that his blessing may descend on us and keep us both in peace. This this is from A Course In Miracles. I wrote that down from the Course in Miracles. if anybody's been listening to me for a while here you will know that I love the Course in Miracles and I definitely believe the Course in Miracles will have a positive impact on my entrepreneur. Mischa Zvegintzov  02:31Anyhow the holy instant like it's that moment being in the moment in the now when when you just know you're in tune with the universe and everything is good. Anyway next sticky going outside the recovery bubble re re in regards to re new like can't be read my writing re new it's either relationships or entrepreneurship or I don't know what it is.  but I have a line underneath that and then it says hard seems 2CCX is the entry point. is the entry point for what?!! For 2ccx that's the coaching group I'm in. new business ventures I suppose anyhow. next sticky nothing around me is but part of me look on it lovingly and see the light of heaven in it. So you will come to understand all that is giving you. the memory of God comes to the quiet mind. that's on the back of that sticky who I like that the memory of God comes to the quiet mind. This is more A Course In Miracles stuff. Nothing around me is but part of me. ie the illusion of separation. I used to talk much about that when the Course of Miracles was into that. love those thoughts? Oh, here's your next sticky saw this L G B B T conversion therapy and it freaked me out. and then I have a line on episode our thoughts energy meaning I still need to do that episode but I did an episode on this saw this LG LBGT conversion therapy and it freaked me out. when I was doing the the Tools For A Good Life Summit and inviting speakers and all that. I was looking for someone like more traditional religion person to go along with all my Eastern metaphysical stuff and you know the psychotherapy stuff.  I thought why not bring in like a priest or a pastor or a rabbi or something like that.  along with my energy healers.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:09As I was doing my research, all this conversion therapy stuff was popping up at the same time. I was watching. Shameless. Was it the, the the queer God? The sons can't remember. But anyway, and I was like, Oh my god. So the Shameless was kind of making fun of the conversion therapy stuff. I mean, dark subject matter isn't that it was like, Hey, this is real, but making fun of it. And then I saw that, oh my gosh, there's people like that's people are committed to conversion therapy, and it totally freaked me out. I was like, what bubble am I and I just thought it was bad TV. But nope, there's people out there trying to perpetrate that. Unbelievable. Next sticky. Oh, god, what's going to be on these episodes as I edit them? Read the Lisa Mischa episodes. You know what I record episodes, and I oftentimes won't edit them for publishing for a few weeks later.  And I'm like "what am I gonna find!?" and I have pretty much published everyone, no matter how frightening they are to me. So that was one of those moments. I must have recorded something with Lisa, my good friend, and then a little freaked out. All right, underneath that I wrote friend brought new guy over, fresh in divorce, reminds me of stories. You can't rush the healing. Yeah, took me a long time to heal from divorce man. And from heavy relationship breakups and I wanted the healing to be done quick, but the universe had different plans. So it reminded me that guy was in so much pain. and doing everything he could to just skip the skip the the healing process. And anyways, I did those episodes, you can route back through there, most of the stuff I ended up doing episode so it's fun to read these sticky notes. next. being a marketer and willing to try different headlines and work and learn real time. relate that to telemarketing and trying and writing objections and learning what to say. And I did that back on 3/11 or 3/12. So I did that 8, 7, 8 months ago but yes, I love that thought. When I would do my telemarketing campaigns, I had teams of telemarketers and then a lot of solo telemarketing. in the in the home mortgage industry as well as other industries. The financial services and and high tech. but for a good solid 15 years in home loans. And I would also do mailer campaigns to get the phone to ring. but you had to as I would develop new niches, you would need to talk to people and fail forward.  so you would talk to people to figure out oh, what are their objections, so you could learn how to handle them and fail forward. so you would have to have to start talking to people and lose deals till you figured it out what worked. and so the same thing I'm in the same space now trying to do headlines and funnels and offers and all that and I need to remember Hey, "you got to you got to do it you got to go real time and learn". next sticky I do not know what anything including this means. Let me start again I do not know what anything including this means. And so I do not know how to respond to it. And I will not use my own past learning as the light to guide me now. I love that that's more of Course in Miracles stuff and and basically you're trying not to bring your past trauma forward. So as new experiences are happening, we can say hey, this is fresh. This is new. My past doesn't matter here so I don't know how to respond to it. No and I use my past content to guide me forward or my past issues or whatever.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:50I will not use my own past learning as the light to guide me now. Am I willing to look at things with new eyes? I love that Sure I did an episode on that. Ooh, here was another thing. This was from Russell Brunson at the beginning of this to 2CCX, which I started just over a year ago. It's this high end coaching and he said somewhere in there, "just identify, smile if you even if you are worn out". It's like this is going to be hard work. It's going to be a slog sometimes so just identify, identify with people. and I love that thought, look for the similarities, not the differences. Smile, even if you are worn out. And I've been doing a lot of that smiling even if I've been worn out. My gosh, I'm about what halfway through. You know what I think I'm going to do is that's good enough for this one. I'm going to do a part two. So that is the sticky note Episode Part One. Eye where I say I've been saying for many months, many months that I would go through all the sticky notes on my desk. And here I am doing it so love to all thank you for listening. Look for sticky notes, part two, assuming I publish these episodes love to walk  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Make a decision and move forward towards that decision.  Plow forward, stay focused on your decision and get it done.  I am working on my product idea the “Winfomercial”.  A structured way to interview someone to easily create long form sales video’s that sell your stuff.  And it is reminding me of my “Tools For A Good Life Summit” process.  It took me 6 extra months to get my summit done because I kept asking for outside opinions to validate my thoughts.  It took me on a wild goose chase that ended right where I started…  I just needed to get it done.  Same holds true here!  I hope this inspires people to continue with their messy action. To take the learning from their previous experience to help them shortcut the new experience.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Recording and progress on mute myself. Thank you zoom. So nice. Such great reminders. I'm reminded right now I'm going to talk about right now. Let's start over on this episode, I'm going to talk about making a decision and moving forward towards that decision, just make a decision. And probably something else, because that's what I always do. When I started trying to get my summit together, my gosh, which is nine or 10 months ago, it obviously turned into the Tools For A Good Life Summit, which you can go register for free. And check it out www.toolsforagoodlifesummit.com, it's evergreen, and it's amazing. Go check it out. But when I was started the process of putting the summit together to heal the world to help men transition to second half of life out of divorce. You ladies too. So funny. But when I started the summit process, initially was going to be called the Path To Peace, the Path To Peace Summit. And I started listening to all this outside input and had all these you know, fluctuating ideas, and there's going to be the Path To Peace Summit. And there's going to be a day of body mind spirit or body mind soul, and ended up being the Tools For A Good Life Summit. They have body mind spirit. And so Coach Kyle was helping me and he's like, Yeah, path, the Path To Peace Summit, that's awesome. can do a day of body mind spirit and putting together my dream 100 To do this, and and then the insecurities started showing up. And then I started asking for outside opinions all over the place. And I, I my commitment to the idea. Well, my my vision of the path kept changing, how can I say it? i The bottom line is this. I could have just done the Path To Peace Summit. Because I ended up in exactly the same place with the Tools For A Good Life Summit.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:04And the name of the summit is kind of irrelevant. It's it's all the content and copy around the name of the summit. And I'd heard that and it turns out it was true. But it took me an extra six months to get the summit done, literally an extra six months at least, to get the summit done because I kept wavering with names I kept wavering with with the idea. How can I say this? I kept looking for perfection, instead of continuing on with the messy action. And so I could be I could have gotten the summit done six months sooner. Now I needed to go through everything I needed to go through and much of the copy and the ideas and frustration as I was waffling on my summit ended up being used.  so that six months of frustration and waffling and, and all this stuff ended up being a little bit necessary. But I kind of shortcut the process is what I'm trying to say. So the same thing is happening with me right now with the this idea for you know, this, the winfomercial. And basically, I'm going to interview people in a certain way to help them you know, get their webinars done or to get a video sales letter done. Another way of saying those things are to create long form sales videos that are structured in a way to sell product. And so I get to help people who have offers that are converting, but they want to be more efficient with it. They want to learn how to scale with it. They want Want to stop having to get on the phone to complete the sale?Mischa Zvegintzov  05:05Just some of the things. Right. And as I continue to look for outside input and validation, it starts taking me down a different path. So what was I trying to say here?  What I'm trying to say is I'm just telling myself now. Oh, yeah. Mischa, listen, anybody who's in the same sort of a process as I am, as you're listening to me tell you this. plow forward, stay focused on your decision and and get her done. Right. I was completely... like I said, with the Tools For A Good Life Summit, it was the Path To Peace the summit, as I tell you that now it is so clear to me, the name didn't matter. Path To Peace Summit, a day of body mind spirit to help you, you know, heal and, and, and, and be a springboard into your second half of life. Name of the summit doesn't matter. So I was reminded of that today on a coaching call with Vince as as I'm looking for challenges and summits and all these things and and taglines and and what else. he you know. like if I just have the right sentence that'll make it all come together and be easy. I'm looking for easy. but the reality is I just have to buckle down so I'm trying to get proof of concept with my with my Winfomercial. And so my task is to find two or three people to take them through my process, so I can shortcut it for them so that I can help them create an effect a long form sales video that does what a webinar would do that does what a you know, a video sales letter would do. shortcut that process because there's a big steep learning curve right. people need to do it and do it and do it but I know what needs to be done so I can coach them to do it. Right and I can interview them in a way that I can interject the things that help make it be successful. Right, does that make sense? I hope it does so so very funny just just I'm in the moment I'm like yes, I do not need to add another six months to the to the process of finding my three my three test subjects to bring them through that. I don't need to create new names for what I'm doing. new spins on it new this knew that. I just need to go get the three people and it was the same thing with the summit. like the summit was I just needed to start inviting people. right. I just needed start. start. Here's the Go date. start inviting people, speakers. When again, I was looking for perfection. Instead of taking the messy action. Hope this episode makes sense. hope it inspires people to continue with their messy action. to to perhaps take the learning from their previous experience to help them shortcut the new experience. Phew!  Love to all have a great day.

Some of the parts that can make for a quick to create and effective sales video.  Have your stories together.  Have a converting offer.  Have proof of concept.  My friend Lisa is playing the guinea pig and doing a fine job of it!  It’s fun to see her successfully implement the strategies and tactics I am giving her.  Get centered, tap in, and pull out the key bits of intuitive information.  For the moment things seem to be falling into place…Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjCheck out the sister YouTube channel here: www.TableRushTalkShow.comSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:00What happened today, part two? Check out yesterday's episode with Kate Nolan. And you can hear how I can potentially help you. by creating a long form sales content... creating long form sales and video content, long form video content that will generate leads and convert those leads to your dream customers through my winfomercial process. Super cool, super fun. So, Kate, the cool thing about Kate was, she was very ready to go. Ie she's got her stories. They're just a part of her. She's got her curriculum built out. She's got she's got you know, proof of concept. All these things. So was super fun and easy for me to to just put all that together in a beautiful interview. Ask really compelling questions that sussed out stuff in her that helped helped make the story even more poignant, and more rich. And then at the same time, you know, what's the start of crafting a compelling offer? To get people to click through to listen to the interview? Be inspired. Click through to her course where she can help. So yes, there you go.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:01Now, Lisa, and I'm working with that is her real name. Hopefully she's okay that I said it. But Lisa's memory specialist. I've referenced her in episodes before and we're friends and such. Lisa, we are getting to the point of so I'm proving concept right now I'm like, Hey, I've got this great method to create content quickly, that you can use to generate leads and convert those leads to your dream customers. And, and so for that  winfomercial to come together, a bunch of stuff has to be done. And there's a ton of people that are out there that already have all those pieces in place. I can just help bring it all together quickly. In a really cool interview. And then bam, here is you're here is a piece of long form content that you can use as a marketing tool. Now perhaps somebody is not quite there yet where they're ready for. For for that sort of, what do we want to call it? sizzle reel. It's not a sizzle reel for that. You know that that interview like the Grand Slam interview, let's call it. so you're not quite ready for the Grand Slam interview. So what I did lisa I did a pre interview with her so we could have the original document. this is what I'm going to do for people will do a pre interview, we'll do like an interview one that actually can be monetized right away because it's going to be pretty cool. It's going to help craft your story. It's going to have call to action and things like that. But we'll have a before document that's super cool. And then I've got a bunch of work that we can do together in between to get to the master document. And then of course, after the master document is created, we can tweak it, refine it, do further interviews and you know just make it better but. So Lisa, a willing participant that I've taken hostage that coincidentally is ready, so she's ready. She's like I've got all this stuff ready to go. I just need focus direction on how to put it together? And how am I going to bring it to market.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:07And so I get to take her through my framework. And this is what really the meat of this episode is about how it's very cool that she's doing the work. So, so Lisa's doing the work. So I'm like, Alright, here's a, here's a perfect customer exercise that I gave her. So we've been doing strategy sessions, bi weekly strategy sessions, and I've been giving her assignments. And she's been executing the assignments, and so it's all coming together. And I just say this, because two really cool things from that. One, I can see how it's going to work for her. Like she's doing the work, putting all the pieces together, I'm actually able to convey strategic strategies. And then, you know, tactics within so she can put all this together. And we can't help but be successful, we can't help it have her have success. And so that's really cool. That's a really cool feeling. Here's a process I've got, let's start putting it into action. And let me just tell you, like I've been been learning so much from Russell Brunson, and his.com secrets, traffic secrets, all that stuff. So I've been pulling great stuff from there to help. And pulling stuff from, you know, Kyle cease. And there's all this really cool tools both on the traditional business side, as well as a bit on the spiritual side, to help tap in. right to get centered and pull out the key bits of information, intuitive information. Yeah, just, I'm just trying to, you know, but does it stand on the shoulders of giants? Like, I've been tasked to do all this avatar work over the last year and a half, depending on when you're listening to this? Maybe it's five years from now. So this is six and a half years ago, which is such a cool thought, but no matter. I'd been all this really cool avatar work. And so to be able to convey that to Lisa. and then and then, you know, what's your mission and, and all these things your perfect customer.  and, and that's just really cool. It's very gratifying just for myself, but then also to see Lisa be so excited to.  so I appreciate Lisa letting me drop her name and talk about the process. But that's just exciting. That's what happened today. That's part two of two of what happened today. stuff is coming together. People are excited. I'm excited. And that's, I think, can come across as me talking in about me. And and maybe a little narcissistic, which I'm starting to just try to let that go. But I think the bigger takeaway for you is like, you can do the same things. And no matter you can be steps and steps ahead of me. Yes, I hope you are. But keep pressing. Keep going. Keep trying things. And yeah, anyway, I'm just very excited. My offering is coming together. I can't wait to talk more and more about it and hopefully be able to convey specific strategies and a more concise manner. Well, we'll see what we'll see what the universe has in store for me. I'm done. This ramble is complete.

I’m so excited about this interview I did I’m pre-selling it! I got to start putting in action some of my interview ideas and it worked really well.  The power of batch recording episodes.  A light is shined on the power of organized athletics and how it helps with entrepreneurial success later in life.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:01What happened today? What happened today is one, I interviewed Kate Nolan, who is an incredible female entrepreneur. And she helps female entrepreneurs and I got to interview her for the Table Rush, master class, and I got to practice I got to start putting in action, some of my ideas, and it worked really well. And the net result was she cannot wait to get her hands on on our interview, so she can use it as a as a tool to help her to help her grow. So I'm going to talk about that. Time permitting, I'm also going to talk about a another person that I'm doing. Her name's Lisa, Lisa, who has all the pieces, all the pieces scattered about a business, and she's finally ready to put all those pieces together and get it online and and start to monetize. And so I'm going to talk about that. those two things over the next at least one episode, perhaps two or three, we will see how it goes all right. Kate Nolan first. So my idea is that I am helping entrepreneurs create sales videos that generate leads and convert to sales convert these leads to their dream customers through my winfomercial process to my funky cool new age information tool the infomercial and effectively it's what what is that? Well it's an interview style where where I'm systematically going through all the boxes that we need to check. I'm being a little ambiguous on purpose until learn how to talk about it. but to create a compelling interview that's packed with with awesome information also tells the person's story and then has a awesome can't win call to action.  and and so I have been well let's see what else can I say in that regard thank you for for hanging in there with me. It's actually been a good week or 10 days since I've recorded an episode which speaks to the power of batch recording episodes. Anybody who is has a podcast or a you know a blog or YouTube channel you can batch record episodes so when you get a solid idea if you time it right you can you can record multiple that one idea into multiple episodes that fit your time bracket that fits your listeners time bracket, your perfect customers listening time bracket or reading tighten bracket or what have you. And it's been very powerful for me. And it also relieves some some pressure on the content producer in this case me. Because I trust that if I am not recording content for a week, that when a solid idea comes to fruition or materializes, I can turn that into you know, some good quality episodes. Anyway, thank you for listening to the diversion.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:00So Kate is an amazing, amazing, super smart, talented...Mischa Zvegintzov  05:08Sorry, dads playing football with their kids in the park. I just as a recording, sort of not sort of crossed paths with a footballer and a little girl, your five year old is a very funny moment. Perhaps this funny moment, we'll get edited out.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:29So back to Kate. Yeah, So Kate, I can't wait till this episode is up for the interview with Kate. Because it is awesome. And you get to see your passion, we get to tell her story of how coming out of, you know, a crisis in her early 30s. She got to apply her her entrepreneurial skills, she was in essence forced to put them to work, she started a company called Graced By Grit.  Which was effectively comfortable workout clothes. And around, you know, just a great story, she was able to build that, take on a partner build it with a partner.  they were able to exit that, that that business. stay on a foundation that the business created a scholarship for young women to continue with athletics.  because she saw the power of athletics and had some stats on the power of athletics, and how important it is. Like there's a direct correlation between young women who embrace athletics, and you know, the organized athletics and how it helps them have entrepreneurial success later in life. So they started a foundation. So she's on this foundation, super cool.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:08And then she was able to take everything she learned from that business from creating that business, and help other female entrepreneurs do the same things with their products and ideas. And so now she has turned that into a course, course curriculum. And so it's super cool, there's a ton of passion behind it, there's a ton of, of just, it's great, she's got her niche dialed in. But she gets to tell that story. And as I'm walking right now and recording this, unfortunately, I don't have what that website is, or I'd tell it to you look in the show notes. It's in the show notes. But a great great interview and and she's just launching her this curriculum, this membership site. and I was able to create with her to just do this awesome interview that captured her story, the power of her tribe of how she can help and and just so gratifying and she's excited to have the content I'm excited to have been a part of the content creation and and yeah.  So I think I'm going to end that there and I'll talk about Lisa on the next episode.

It all seems to be messy action right now. My coach Vance told me as I'm going forward with a new direction on this podcast, more business minded, focusing on, you know, my Winfomercial process and how I can help people with that, as well as just sales and marketing tactics, strategies, all that fun stuff, and me growing this business, he said to me, Hey, you've got to start talking about this stuff. So he follows me a little bit. But he's like, Hey, man, you've got this winfomercial, you've got this idea, you've got this, this strategy, this framework to help people generate leads and convert those leads into you know, their dream customers. So you got to start talking about that. And and it's like, yeah, I am I'm getting there. I'm getting there. And and so then I was looking at download numbers on my podcast. and anybody with a relatively new podcast or mine's coming up on a year. podcast numbers can be volatile and trying to suss out if anybody is actually listening, so is a whole nother story. So you can have downloads... I went through this awesome spike recently, of, of downloads, as I, you know, was putting myself out there a lot more. And so I was seeing a bunch more downloads that started to taper a little bit. And then also.  The podcast numbers are elusive. It's, it's, it's hard to tell. How many people actually listen for how long things like that. And so I was a bit dispirited.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:17And I was looking at the download numbers, and I just had this moment of clarity of like, you know, what, the download numbers just don't matter at all. Like, it's all ludicrous. It's all silly. You know, start talking about the new path, and you got to start making offers Vince his words on game, I was like, Yeah, I got to start making offers, I've got to start, I've got to, I've got to start doing that. I've got to start having more intention with the podcast, and my actions. It's been very broad. And so I wrote this email and send it out to my list. And so I thought as well, this would be an opportunity for, for some full transparency. I did my tools for a Good Life Summit. Summit, I did that I got just over 400 emails, functional emails, right around 400. So my email list is 400. And I've been emailing diligently once a week since then. And due to unsubscribes, and things like that. attrition. When it's like, one or 2% each email, you know, I'm down to just over 300. So I've got to start doing some lead gen again, I've got to start building my list again. Not that was ever. I mean, that's a tiny little list. But um, anyway, so I just had this epiphany, this moment of clarity. It's time to start. Yeah, having a bit more intention. And so I sent this email out to my list, and I, I thought it was, it was pretty cool. And it would suss out what I'm up to and where I'm at. So I'm going to read the email. And it starts like this. Well, first off, who the subject line was, God sent me to help who?  Which I thought was rather genius.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:30Anyhow, today, I don't care. I've looked at the download numbers on my podcast, and it seems so ludicrous and silly. It's sent me over the edge. Am I talking to the void? I'm not sure. self aggrandizing, perhaps?  Narcissistic, Maybe so? But today, I don't care. Because that led to this moment, who I can help. Keep scrolling to find out. segue. It's time to stop dancing around and sell you something. Why am I here? We help entrepreneurs make videos that do your lead generation and selling for you through my funky new age communication tool. The winfomercial, can you imagine that? A video that does your selling for you? Wouldn't that be awesome? What does that mean for you? Well, if you're an entrepreneur that has a product or service, or course, you think is the best thing since sliced bread, and you can describe it with clarity, and you want more leads and sales from your dream customers? Have I got a solution for you? You've heard that before, right? Yeah, me, too. I'm currently beta testing my winfomercial process for proof of concept. ie, your opportunity to go through my process for free and end up with assets. assets that will drive your dream customers to you. assets that you can use to advertise, promote, posts to social cut, edit, trim, and monetize. Sounds fun, right? At least interesting, right? Would you like to be a candidate? If so, reply to this email with "Yes, please." And I will email you a simple questionnaire to see if you qualify. If you qualify, I will take you through this simple framework, pre work questionnaire, pre production, 45 minute interview, that you can monetize right away. Client prep, when infomercial interview, traffic/existing - new.  revenue. And that will help you generate revenue faster and easier than you thought possible.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:13But only respond to this if you want free advertising and social media assets custom created to you best and don't forget to email me. Yes, please. So we can get started sincerly. So great news, I did have a couple of responses. And and I'm pretty excited. So that is what I'm up to. That's where I'm at. I'm doing proof of concept. And so I'm looking for candidates to help me prove concept. Oh my gosh, I've tired I was so proud of this email. I just had to read it to you, the audience. And also it's an opportunity to give you an update. This might be the shortest episode I've done in forever. And as I'm talking here, I'm trying to think how to stretch it out. But I don't think there's a way to do it. Let me let me think for us. Well, one, it's fun to have clarity, more clarity, to it's fun to start heading towards a call to action. Three, I think it's fun to be inspired to take the action to create this product that I've been, that's manifested all of a sudden this idea. And so it's fun to have, have these ideas come to a head. And I'm taking action on that by looking for potential prospects for proof of concept. So these are important, important, big steps. And you can start to see how I'm trying to help people. And you can follow on the journey with me and see Yes, is this working?Mischa Zvegintzov  09:31I also had some clarity that there could be a whole lead up course to get to the point of this email, ie when I get the pre work questionnaire back from potential people who want the service. If they're not up to the point I need them to be for me to be effective with my Interview, I can take the time to coach them up. Perhaps you up to that interview, to that point of content creation. So I'd love that as a guest. That is actually very cool. And then to send the email out this email that I just read to you, thank you so much for listening. Oh my gosh, I was having episode insecurity. I'm just in such a point of insecurity right now, and I'm going to admit it just with changing course. podcast number fluctuating taking big risks. But anyway, shouldn't I shouldn't I'm questioning whether it's wise to admit all that. Hopefully, we'll laugh about it later. But people a couple people responding back. Yes, we want. We want Yes, please. Email me that questionnaire to see if they qualify. So guess what, now I get to create that questionnaire. So that's where we are right now. Thank you so much for listening. I'm figuring out how to talk about what I'm up to how I'm helping people. I am helping people. If you listened to the last previous two episodes, it is in action. I look forward to having like legitimate revenue numbers at some point as well. Anyway, I'm done. Thank you for listening. Thank you for being on the ride with me.

“The art of one to many selling”, is a potential tagline.  The to do list is rather larger.  Hiring a designer for the logo art takes the weight of the world of my shoulders.  It’s incredible how getting one simple thing done sets off the dominos for the rest.    Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:02Good evening. I'm recording this in the evening time. It's very peaceful in my house very quiet. A train will perhaps go by. Anyway, this episode is going to be about what happened today. Again what happened today? And as a reminder, there's you know, I'm all in on Russell Brunson right now click funnels and all that stuff. Funnel Hacking live funnel hacking.  Dot com secrets traffic secrets. What else am I deep in right now? I'm deep in expert secrets right now. Getting ready to do some sort of a webinar it seems. And all the work within that. And also yes, a reminder that I am rebranding the podcast to Table Rush. The Table Rush master class and marketing and sales secrets the table rush… Table Rush, masterclass marketing and sales secrets I was thinking for a moment perhaps to go... What was it the art of one to many selling... because that is in essence what the Table Rush is a result of one to many selling. So webinar is one to many selling a webinar. Much of the internet internet sales is one to many selling.  but I decided that... I wasn't sure yet if I was going to go with the art of one to many selling or or the Table Rush masterclass marketing and sales secrets because I do have a history of some one to one selling and that's a very valuable skill.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:15So I digress we were going to talk about what happened today. Why I started talking about Russell Brunson in the first place was as I am looking at of this chart of of episode ideas.  this could be for your YouTube channel for your email, email sequences for your blogging for your podcast, and there's 16 of them. And one of them is "episode style". "What happened today?" So what happened today? I'm going to tell you what happened today. I'm very excited. And it took me a bit to get to it. But I hired a logo developer for my Table Rush masterclass logo for both the podcast and for the YouTube channel. Because I need to have that because I'm going to be making the switch soon. So as you listen to this episode, it may or may not the change may or may not be official.  but it is coming just know so it's not a surprise to you. And you can look forward to my, to the spiritual side of what I've been talking about on the pitch slab podcast to be my spirituality as it expresses itself through my entrepreneurship. Or perhaps it's my entrepreneurship, as it expresses itself through my spirituality. But it's been happening on the podcast either way, so I ordered I ordered the logo work so I'm very excited about that. Which means I'm committed and it's happening and I felt the clock ticking and I was like we need to get that done. And what's interesting about that is is I felt I don't know if you ever have this I'm sure you do but you can email me and let me know or or my emails in the in the show notes my email address. but I can feel there's that one thing that that subconsciously you're not getting it done.  or subconsciously I'm not getting it done and I feel behind and I feel like everything's falling apart.  and oh no, the you know the wheels are coming off the bus. The train is coming off the tracks. However you want to say it.   that I was feeling that with the with the podcast art.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:55So I put this big list of I'm looking at it right now have to does on my whiteboard and and I'm I'm picking one to get done for sure. Right like looking at the list I've got all sorts of things on their.  podcast art.  YouTube art.  Passport.  I'm going on a Russell Brunson... He's got a trip to Mexico for his 2CCX'ers. And people from his mastermind go as well, or his inner circle, excuse me. so I'm super excited for that.  But I've got Table Rush speaker invites on there. I've got you know, framework number one offer number one needs to be worked. on my value ladder mission statement for Facebook. So that was the other thing that I got done yesterday. I got my value ladder mission statement up on my Facebook profile. And that was another big thing that was was that I was feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders for something so simple. And that's I help entrepreneurs jumpstart the growth of their business to this crazy funky new age communication tool, the winfomercial. Yeah, so I got that up on my Facebook profile, and I did a couple of cool little things on it. So we'll see if that gets me any traction or what the response is. So those are the two things that I was going to talk about what happened today and got a bunch of other stuff up there.  find test subjects for my winfomercial so I can do proof of concept. how to introduce people on the winfomercial. there's speakers who sell from stage that are very successful at it like to be introduced... there's a very there's a high converting way to do it. A really good way to do it. So I want to make sure that I get that locked down, get some examples of that. Practice future pacing.  these can all be different episodes, I can talk about what the future pacing is. trial closes.  Get my trial, the trial closes on the card. So a lot of a lot of sales one to many, whether it's webinars are old school, infomercials or sales letters, or all these sorts of things, there's trial closes. And so you write them on the cards, put them on your desk. That way when you're interviewing somebody or or doing a webinar you can put in the trial closes. And if you're unsure what a trial closes, what we'll save that for another episode. And then I'm still working on the groups to get to 100,000 people to interact with.  and some other things up there, but as I pick a main one, to knock it off the list while I'm working on others, it's actually working very well. So great day to finally have ordered the artwork. I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. And that's where we are. Have a great day. Hopefully you got some good tips out of there if you're if you're following along and starting your own ventures or working on your own ventures PEACE OUT  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Accelerated Path To Peace, Table Rush.This episode is about how I can’t spell “entrepreneur” or “entrepreneurial”!  Time to record the new intro’s outro’s for the podcast rebrand to Table Rush.  And to make the art for the new Table Rush podcast name and sister YouTube channel as well.  A bit of discussion of my Winformercial method.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:01On this episode, I thought it would be really funny to talk about how entrepreneur is spelled and pronounced and my difficulties with that. And then also laced in within all that are mixed in with that where I am on on the change from The Accelerated Path To Peace  to Table RushMischa Zvegintzov  00:37so as I as my as my direction is becoming clearer and I'm and I've committed to changing to Table Rush you know, I've got to get, I get to get new logos made. I get to record new intros new outros. Since a YouTube channel is starting, I'll get to do some, you know, some visual intros and outros for video. So that'll be super fun. And that's honestly one of the things that will keep me from making the change. The official change is that I need that those logos and things and so that way, when I make the change, I can have the new branding, I could make the change without the branding. And when the branding comes around, it comes around, but I'd like to have it be seamless. And it also gives me time to, you know, get the word out there that name and branding of the podcast is changing from the from the you know, The Accelerated Path To Peace  to to Table Rush. It's funny, I did have a thought for a bit to go call it bitch slap Business Edition, instead of pitch, slap The Accelerated Path To Peace . And then my coach fans said, Hey, man, you know, just cleaning easy, just change the name of the podcast, Table Rush and have fun with it. And I'd love that idea. And I'd love that thought. And, of course, as you heard for a few episodes there, I had a panic moment that that wouldn't be able to happen due to RSS feeds, subdomains domains, all this podcast hosting Tech Talk, that kind of threw me for a loop for a day or two. actually not too bad. But there was an episode where I wavered on the change. But changes definitely happening.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:52And so as I'm working on, I've got the winfomercial in the background as well. So the winfomercial is, is basically, you know, I've created this interview methodology to help deliver people's message, sales message, if they've got a project product, if they've got a message, so help people refine that create long form videos, quickly, effortlessly, relatively, effortlessly. And then someone's got good content, that they can't long form video content that they can slice dice for yet it do whatever, and it'll help generate leads and convert those leads into customers. And I've got this great methodology and very excited for that. So I'll have courses around that and coaching around that. And, you know, it'll help provide focus and direction and momentum for, for people. And I think one of the most exciting things is, for a lot of people that process of creating long form, video sales can be very burly, and take months and months of trial and error. And it cannot be fun, and it can be excruciating and frustrating. And all my skill sets, I've come up with a method to to streamline that process and make it fun and efficient and effective. So we all have that to look forward to.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:35So I've been working on the point of that whole diatribe right there, or that little story is that I've been working on. Well, there's the whole story of how it all came together as well. These epiphany moments of, of, of where people have asked me to help them with something I'm going to say that for another episode, just their stories to tell them that regard and I cannot wait to tell them. This episode is not about that. This episode is about how I can't spell entrepreneur, and entrepreneurial. And that a lot of times there goes to train. This episode is about how I can't spell entrepreneur, or entrepreneurial, and oftentimes have a hard time pronouncing it. And it's so funny as I was thinking as I'm committing to the entrepreneurial journey, and talking about it, and, and how I can help people with their entrepreneurial journey, providing them focus and, and then also, and then also, you know, getting people back to the basics of sales and marketing. And because that is so powerful, the blocking and the tackling, we need that. But I was trying to on some of the sales letters I'm creating in the marketing, I'm creating around that and the methodology around that and working on my offers. I'm having to spell entrepreneur, a lot, and entrepreneurial, and I can't spell that dang word.Mischa Zvegintzov 6:22like today, I was spelling it so badly in on, you know, my Word doc, or it's apple. So whatever the Apple version of that is, pages, the pages doc, that spelling it so badly that the pages dictionary couldn't give me an opinion on how to spell it correctly. And you know, your spelling words badly when the tech can't give you the replacement word. And I will say this, a lot of times if I can't spell a word, and I'm trying to spell it on the on the Apple doc, or the word doc, and that dictionary isn't working, you can go to the Google and the Google has so much more brain power, it will usually very quickly figure out the correct spelling. So anyhow, I was I had thought I was like, Oh my gosh, I I want to be talking about entrepreneurs, talking to talking to entrepreneurs, spelling, entrepreneur, writing entrepreneurial stuff. I mean, all centered around entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial, better learn how to spell it. So I was today. It was totally breaking it down. So I'm going to try it right now as I'm walking on tray. This is how I broke it down  entre e n t r e p r e.   E n t r e p r e . And then it's "newer", and I believe the last bit is n u e r.  So I think I got it. "Entre" e n t r e p r e n u e r...  There you go entrepreneur. I think I got it dialed in. I just thought that was so funny. And the irony that that's what I'm going head deep into talking about and can't spell it. Anyway, so much. So many tales to tell so much inspiration to share with you. This is all come together and I can't wait to help people. Yes! All my skills, all of what I'm good at are hopefully coming together. And I'm having one of the blissey moments right now, which you get to hear of like there's no where but up. But of course as I start making offers and bringing it to market, there's going to be the ups and downs of that whole thing.  and what I think my vision is and where it's going to end up. Oh my gosh, am I ready for that journey?

How much longer can I keep teasing the podcast name change to Table Rush!  Not much longer I hope.  It is eminent.  I talk about the journey to this point and the refining of the Perfect Customer.  What message I want to bring.  Etc.  And just a bit reflective on the path to this point.  Lots to be grateful for.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:03This episode is about the how... Oh my God.  There's so many distractions right now. cars everywhere. I walking a different route and there's so many people.  it's Halloween ish. people in costumes skateboarders.  people with kids dressed up their dogs dressed up.  A whole pack of 30 somethings just skateboarded by dressed up as everything from...  It's all ladies so from cowboys dressed up as males to bunnies to everything in between. all on skateboards some of them pushing kids. but oh my goodness, and I'm just having bouts of insecurity as I'm walking with my phone and my MV88 mic recording.  Anyhow talk about messy action but this thought is so top of mind for me that I've just got to express it. And and basically it's that you know, The original podcast The Accelerated Path To Peace  podcast you know, although I'm changing the name and doing a rebrand to Table Rush. Table Rush masterclass. that the original accelerated path to peace podcast was indeed you know, documenting, documenting of my, of my entrepreneurial journey, the starting of the podcast, just to add a year ago. You know, hitting a year ago, this actually could be on the actual year anniversary. But, you know, step one, define an audience or your, your, you know, your dream customer.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:14So I worked up a rudimentary dream customer to get into the game who I thought it was, and that was the, perhaps, you know, brokenhearted, divorce dad? And how do we, how do we help that person get back on track? Or what when they're ready, you know, they're like, Alright, I'm done suffering. And being in the mire. So, let's, let's break through and in charge forward. and, and then, you know, the dream 100 putting together that list of 100 people who, who I want to work with in that regard. So there was so many people that helped me along the way with meditation, yoga, spiritual practices, energy work, writing, journaling, you know. Kyle Cease was in there such a major influence on me. And, you know, Rod Stryker, and his, his ideas, and the, the Dharma code, you know, your life mission statement. and, and working on all that stuff, and really going deep with meditation and writing and journaling and self growth. and and hunkering down you know, and, anyhow.  so all those people within all those modalities, and then really having my mind open to, well, there's those modalities that Misha used. And there's the, you know, recovery framework that's within athletes been such a big part of my life for 30 years, 35 years, on my whole life, really, because my parents were trying to get sober in my youth, as well. So deep roots there, but that there's all these other modalities that once I opened my mind, just a little, it was like, wow, there's all this cool stuff out there cool ways to calm your mind to find center to tap into, you know, to tap into your inspiration. and and, you know, the tools of a Good Life Summit came out of that as I started interviewing all these amazing people and all these things. and all that's a big part of the entrepreneurial journey, right? Mischa trying to find what he's good at. How can Mischa help? Who is that person that Mischa can help?Mischa Zvegintzov  04:58And then, you know, bring entrepreneurship into that which I love entrepreneurship and have my whole life and, and it's a great my spirituality absolutely expresses itself through my entrepreneurship. And so although, you know, there's some changes ahead that hopefully everybody will stay with me with and enjoy and like and prosper in, but perhaps not I totally understand it. I am just trying to say that we're not trying to say I am saying that...  you know, the first 360 episodes have been about my entrepreneurial journey, and my struggles with new ideas, new concepts, learning new things. And the online world. I've been so offline. For the last five years, as I've dug into yoga, and all that stuff, like, I was basically non existent on the social media and really just digging deep on the internal work. So this is like a fast forward process for me. Or was that is that the right word? Fast forward? I don't know, I think you understand what I'm saying. But just talking about the learning and things I'm trying to do to grow an audience that, you know, building summits, all these things. And it's interesting, because I really was relatively tech savvy. You know, in my younger years, that's normal for a lot of adults, actually, we sort of are super tech savvy and then we turn into the parents who aren't tech savvy, perhaps. And I've definitely experienced some of that.  But still am tech savvy.  I love the direct response marketing. I thrived within that, and the mortgage business for 15 years, and creating flyers and mailing lists and mailing to them and then, you know, collecting emails and nurturing my old clients with email campaigns, and then being available when they needed help.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:18And, and so this is very much, Mischa 2.0. And, you know, the, the, the emergence of that and, and I hope people are learning and enjoying the ride with me, and I'm doing my best to add value. And I just, I guess, maybe this in an appreciation for where I am right now. and how some things and ideas are coalescing, and coming together. and that although you know, it's a, it's a big shift in branding and podcast name, that it's exciting for me because it's going to be more focused. I'm dialing in the focus, right, the original, you know, thesis for The Accelerated Path To Peace  was very broad, very broad, you know, a wide net.  and, but very much about documenting my entrepreneurial journey, trying to be of service trying to learn how to craft my skills to bring the market and an entrepreneur way. and then hopefully, hopefully, inspire other people to do the same. And just have fun too. I'm big about having fun these days. You know, what, I do this for free and for fun? Yes, I would. And it turns out I am, because I am not at profitability yet. I'm trying. I'm working hard. But hopefully that's around the corner at some point. And anyway, I I just I'm just very excited to continue to talk in a more focused way about my entrepreneurial journey.  about the skills and tools and frameworks and systems that I'm creating to help people.  And that you get to come along with me and yeah, that's what I've got. I think that's enough. So So to recap, you know, the, The Accelerated Path To Peace  podcast was very much about my entrepreneurial journey, can literally hear it almost from the beginning 360 episodes ago to where I am now today. And this is just a refinement of that focus of that and, and so much of the musings again won't be the same. But hopefully there'll be more focused and more useful and more... you know, I'll have... again as I've said... what I'm good at, I'll be able to you know, turn into products to help people. So there we go enough out to me. Thank you for listening. The change to the new podcasts name. Table Rush is eminent. Hopefully it will not be a surprise for you when that happens.

The new. Sorry, I lost my train of thinking all of a sudden, it seems to happen to me. Cut, edit. Let's start again. Start again. Okay. On today's episode, we are going to talk about the theme of the new Table Rush, masterclass podcast, and You Tube channel, the rebranding of what once was to something new. And here we go, here's, here's I'm gonna give you the intro really quick welcome everybody to the Table Rush masterclass, where we get back to the marketing basics, excuse me, where we get back to the marketing and sales basics to help entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs, like you grow your business to $1 million, annual revenue and beyond. And there'll be a few things going on within that. So we'll have interviews, and a few different types of interviews. So we've got I have I know a bunch of people and because my network grows, meeting more and more people that have successful million dollar annual revenue businesses, and some are well beyond that. And so let's interview those individuals. Get them on the podcast, and talk about what they do, how they got their, their successes. And, and, and, and pick their brains and, and then that'll be amazing, yes. And then also, I'll be able to help them because hopefully, some of their services will be in line with with with many or much of our listenership so. So they can have some fractional gain is that incremental gain.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:22But also, I know that so many entrepreneurs out there that are having success, love to share their message, love to give back. Love those mentor opportunities. So I'm super excited to interview, interview these people, and learn from them. And just, I have such a passion and interest in businesses of what people do do, what people do and their niches, and it fascinates me and always has. And was one of the things that actually made me a great loan officer was I loved the income part of taking that loan application. And I dealt with a lot of higher loan amounts. So I got to deal with a lot of business owners and I got to deal with a lot of help a lot of, you know, VP, level president level C level manager level. Style people.  And I just always loved my whole life, I've been fascinated by what people do. Again, so very exciting for me. And then, you know, what's the word I'm looking for, you know, the inspiration that entrepreneurs bring. There's a word I'm looking for visionary, so, you know, getting some visionary entrepreneurs on as well. And you know, there's so much heartfelt movement, there's so much good being done. So many people creating businesses that are, you know, of service and people are able to talk about that. Very excited for that. So, enough about that. Then we've got the whole section of entrepreneurs who are who are just getting started or on their way some are on that journey to, to, you know, that million dollar revenue mark, annual revenue mark, and I think it's gonna be really fun to document that part of the journey and especially before and after stories, so talk to someone you know, who's just getting started or, you know, maybe has their foundation firmly in place.  That journey, the journey, right. So be able to document before and after. So I'm so excited to do that.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:09And then And then, you know, there's, as my mission and how I can help people, you know, find focus and get back to the sales and marketing basics and, and, you know, bring my frameworks and this win this win infomercial framework system that I've developed to help people it'll be really fun to be able to document the successes and failures of that process as well. So, you know, get get people on the podcast, who are, who are having, you know, that experience of working with me. So that is going to be exciting. And then, and then some of my daily musings per usual on the podcast that I already do. So the interviews as well will all be on YouTube. So we can really, you know, strip out the audio and get the audio to the, to the podcast channel as well. But really, I think the interview is so much, so much of the passion and emotion and although it comes through on podcast interviews, the visual to be able to see that on, you know, video, that opportunity is huge, very excited for that. So I cannot wait to do that on the YouTube channel. So you'll be able to hear the interviews, and in both formats, and then I just want to talk about the million dollar mark, right, it's this million dollar annual revenue, and it's just more of a metric, I would say. So. It's, it's more about once you're hitting that mark, you know, that your message, your passion, what you're entrepreneuring how you're being of service to the world is working, you're getting your message out there, and you're being effective. And so I just like that, that metric. So it's, it's, it's, it means that you're, you're carrying your message. And I love that, and I love that idea. And I love that concept.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:41And then also, having cash flow can be fun. So let's make no mistake about it if you're able to, you know, generate some revenue and then be able to give back with that revenue and donate and all the stuff that comes with that. Super cool gas, so just very excited. And I can't wait to to, you know, see how my spiritual spirituality and my spiritual messages, you know, manifest through my entrepreneurship or, like entrepreneurship is, is an outlet for that and, and as so many, for so many people, it turns out in the growth that entrepreneurial entrepreneurship affords, and you know, the faith and going into center and and he knows trusting and adversity and setbacks, and just the journey, the hero's journey, so amazing. So that's what you have to look forward to, on the Table Rush Podcast. I'm getting some new logos done and we'll have a new intro and outro so hopefully, I can make that official really soon. Realistically, you'll have a few more episodes at least where I will be letting you know that the change is happening. So it won't be a completely a rude awakening and and I understand if some people will not groove on the message so much anymore. But I totally get it seems it's a maturation for me and and I think yeah.  I think this next episode I will talk about how you know, the entrepreneurial journey has been such a big part of the original podcast anyway. So that's it I'll talk about in the next episode love to all  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Turns out that changing the name of the podcast is going to be easier than I thought.  All of the worrying about the underlying tech was unfounded.  So yet again, making decisions on false assumptions, comes back to give me a little bit in the butt.   ...and as I'm publishing this episode I am running out the door to see Bill Burr...  So this is all the notes you are going to get :).Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:00It's a busy day at the park as I walk in record with my sure and V 88 mic that all of you all should have who are fledgling podcasters and or YouTubers because the little mic is awesome. Anyhow today we're going to discuss the change of the podcast name I was in a bit of a panic mode and I recorded on the last episode about the potential name change. So I'm going to talk about that today. Yes, so I am going to change the name of the podcast it turns out and I will change it to table rush table rush master class perhaps when you listen to this episode The name will be changed no I'm not going to do that because I want to give everybody plenty of notice that the name is changing so you know and there's a lesson in all this which I'm going to talk about right now. And I've been through it a few times as I have created the bitch slap podcast as I've as I've you know, worked on becoming an and and Amazon affiliate and got kicked off as I was clawing and scratching to be a to get my apple my original thing you know bitch slap accelerated path to peace podcast approved with Apple there's a consistent theme and all this and one is I will make assumptions about how I think things work and I will take actions according to the assumption or inactions according to that assumption and blended in there as is I will see the rules and perhaps think they don't apply to me as well as take some action based on not complete you know information and and have reactionary moments which is normal for everybody if you are above that or oblivious to that I'm not sure if oblivious is the right word to use there are immune to that well God bless you and I will also say that it doesn't happen all the time it's usually when if there's a mission critical thing happening and I perhaps think well I suppose it is mission critical thing all this stuff in hindsight is not been mission critical I think you get what I'm saying. So in a perfect world I would have these thought streams ironed out perfectly. So it was a cohesive easy flowing easy read of an episode however, so I was all excited originally to change the name of the podcast to to table rush. And then I sort of panicked like I was ready to let go of the of the bitch slap name. And I effectively moved on from it in my head. Although as I've gotten traction with that podcast with this podcast over the last six weeks I was like wait what what am I doing? But I'm so had some reclaimed attachment to the original podcast name. That might be a good way to say it.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:53So filler word filler word. So I started looking into changing the podcast name. And there's RSS feeds, and subdomains and all this stuff associated with a podcast and who hosts your podcast? And I overreacted? And was like, I can't just change the name. I can't just change the name. Which is not true, actually. And so I sort of panicked. And was like, Well, I guess I'm going to keep the bitch slap accelerated path to peace name, and this and that, because I thought that the underlying subdomains or the domains would keep the original title in it. And the change of the title wouldn't filter down through through the subdomains, and domains and all this sort of stuff. And and after the last episode I recorded, which I was like not not changing the name. I was like, wait a minute, this can't be right, I've got to do a little bit of digging, I can't it's not realistic. It's not seamless. It's not efficient. It's not. It's a diluted message to have. The table rush, masterclass YouTube channel, and then the original pitch, slap accelerated path piece podcast name, like the the, the messages aren't necessarily as cohesive as they could be, or as efficient as they could be. It sounds like man, I might just have to give up the podcast all together. And, and so I was like, Well, wait a minute. Why don't I actually ask the question of the podcast people? Can I change the name? And the branding of it? And will that filter down through the domain subdomains? Etc, etc? And the RSS, the RSS feed will be fine? And the answer was, yes. And I was like, Oh, my goodness, I can change the podcast name. It can all be clean, and easy and work together. And I recorded that last episode, one right before this, or maybe two ago, let's either perhaps it's two ago, one or two ago where I was like, I'm not changing the name. After all. That is not true. Maybe I didn't even publish that episode, as you listen to this, just know that I had a panic moment. And and thought that I wasn't gonna be able to change the name on it. So I think that's super funny. And it happened to me when Apple was giving me pushback about my podcast name. And I was like, Oh, my gosh, I might need to change the name to God shot. And there's that whole series back 300 episodes ago, when I was just getting started, but it was a same sort of a thing i i kind of spent time in reaction mode instead of time in find out how it actually works, Mohammed. Right, so I just assumed the answer that would allow or justify the, the the change from bitch slap to God shot when it was like, Oh, I just needed to dig a little bit more, send the app the email to Apple customer service. And once I finally did that step, which I assumed it wouldn't work literally. I was like, apple won't respond to the customer service inquiry. They're too big of a corporation. So why bother? Why not start designing new logos to God shot? Why not record new intros and outros? Why not do all this work? So I did a good week or 10 days of work. And finally, it was like, Maybe you should just send that email and see what happens. So I sent the email to Apple customer service. And they responded so quickly. They helped me work through the issue. And there was no problem. I just had basically a truncated version of the same experience just now, except it only took two days.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:50And only one recorded episode where I put the brakes on the name change, but just know that the podcast name is changing. I'll be definitely talking about much of much of these business concepts. But still talking about spiritual stuff. How did I say it earlier is I was interviewing somebody. And we were having some pre conversation I said, yeah, the name is changing and, and effectively, it's going to be how, you know, our spirituality comes through, and our entrepreneurship. I actually wrote it down was a great little quote. So that's what's happening. That's what's going on. Thank you, everybody, for your patience. Thank you for listening. Thank you for being on this amazing journey with me as I as I continue to grow and refine what I'm doing and yes, have a good day.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

And right now, I would like to introduce to you, Dr. Jamie Marich. And hello, and I'll read your bio real quick, if that's okay?0:00:20.6 Dr. Jamie Marich: Go for it.0:00:23.1 MZ: Fantastic. So Dr. Jamie Marich travels internationally, speaking on topics related to EMDR, EMDR therapy, trauma, addiction, expressive arts, yoga and mindfulness, while maintaining a private practice and online education operations. I lost my place. [chuckle] The Institute for Creative Mindfulness in your home base of Warren, Ohio. You are the developer of the Dancing Mindfulness Approach to Expressive Arts Therapy and the developer of yoga for clinicians. You are the author of numerous books, including the popular EMDR Made Simple, Trauma Made Simple, and Process, Not Perfection. You are the co-author of EMDR Therapy and Mindfulness for Trauma-Focused Care, and Healing Addiction With EMDR Therapy: A Trauma-Focused Guide, out later this year from Springer publishing company. North Atlantic Books published a revised and expanded edition of Trauma and The 12 Steps, in the summer of 2020, and they are also publishing The Healing Power of Jujitsu: A Guide to Transforming Trauma and Facilitating Recovery, and Dissociation Made Simple, both due out in 2022. Jamie is a woman living unapologetically, with a dissociative, it's a tricky word, a dissociative disorder, and this forms the basis of your award-winning passion for advocacy in the mental health field. Welcome. So, I thought this would be fun. You're a PhD, yes?0:02:19.3 DM: Yes.0:02:21.0 MZ: So, how many hours do you have into that? Tell me, how many hours?0:02:28.1 DM: That went into school? Well, I was in school all total from my bachelor's through my master's, for nine years. I finished my PhD in about three, three and a half years, so I don't know how many hours, I've spent a lot of time in school.0:02:42.4 MZ: A lot of time in school. And then we've also got LPCC-S.0:02:47.5 DM: Oh, those are just licenses that you see after my name. So LPCC-S is Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. So those are my state licenses, and this is the whole big letter soup of the helping professionals, that in different states there are different licenses, and that's what that means.0:03:04.1 MZ: Yeah, cool. And then the LICDC-CS, that's another...0:03:08.8 DM: That's Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor. So, one is mental health, one is chemical dependency. I don't know why they're two separate licenses, but they are.0:03:18.6 MZ: You know what? Lucky. You're lucky. And then we've got REAT.0:03:26.0 DM: So that is Registered Expressive Arts Therapist.0:03:28.4 MZ: Oh, okay, very cool. RYT 500, which I believe is...0:03:32.6 DM: Registered Yoga Teacher.0:03:33.9 MZ: Right, registered. And 500, that's like next level, I think entry level is 200 hours and then 500 hour's a whole another ballgame.0:03:43.1 DM: Yeah, yeah. But I really feel any yoga teacher trainings about what you learn about yourself in the process. So it's nice to have the credential, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.0:03:54.4 MZ: Absolutely. Did you jump into yoga teacher training more as a personal experience, and then you thought... Yeah, I think that happens a lot, doesn't it?0:04:03.6 DM: Well, what's interesting is I had used it clinically, over the years, but having not taken a full teacher training, 'cause I've had a yoga practice most of my clinical life, it's been an essential part of my own self-nourishment and care. And so, I started taking just some trauma-informed yoga workshops and doing some reading and then implementing it into clinical life, and I actually didn't do the teacher training until not that long ago, just a few years ago, because I knew I wanted to take my personal study to the next level. And that was my main motivation, and I always feel that the best yoga teachers are people who simply share from their practice. And so yeah, I do some yoga teaching, but a lot of it is what I integrate into my clinical work and education courses that I offer for other therapists.0:04:54.8 MZ: Yeah, I love it. And then my understanding as well is, once you get into the 500 hours of the yoga teacher training, you start heavily going into perhaps some eastern philosophy style stuff, perhaps Hindu teachings, all that fun stuff. Yeah?0:05:15.6 DM: Yeah, and it depends on the program you do, and it depends on the lineage, but I was very fortunate to do a really strong lineage-based training, and I learned a lot with The Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras and philosophy, and that's just so rich, and to me, more important than any pose you're gonna learn.0:05:33.0 MZ: Absolutely, and I think that the Asana or the movement side of yoga is such a small piece of the bigger philosophy, and not to make this all about that, but it's fun to talk about. And then we've also got last one, RMT.0:05:50.0 DM: Oh, Reiki Master Teacher.0:05:53.5 MZ: Oh, Reiki Master Teacher? Awesome, and that's energy, right? Energy work.0:05:57.0 DM: I love the energy.0:05:58.4 MZ: Yeah, fantastic. And so, I just thought it'd be fun to read all that, because I think sometimes it gets lost, the expertise that somebody such as yourself has, in what we're gonna talk about. You have a lifetime of involvement in not only helping people, but literally learning. Yeah?0:06:22.9 DM: Yeah.0:06:23.5 MZ: Yeah, that's... Oh, go ahead. 0:06:25.3 DM: Yeah, on one hand, it is, as you present it that way, yeah, I do. And on the other hand, it's, "How could I not pursue the path of learning?" 'cause I've needed it for my own healing and tool for a better life, right?0:06:41.8 MZ: Yeah, absolutely.0:06:42.4 DM: That's why we're here.0:06:44.1 MZ: Yeah. And then you have The Trauma and The 12 Steps. Do you have history in recovery, sobriety yourself?0:06:53.7 DM: I do. Yeah, I've been clean and sober almost 19 years, and that was really what was the impetus for my healing journey. And I initially came in through a very 12-step path. I still have a lot of respect for the 12 steps, but I've needed to bring in a lot of other healing modalities too, which is how EMDR came into my life, which is, I think, the main thing we're gonna be talking about today.0:07:16.9 MZ: Yeah, absolutely. And then I wanted to just quick... Two things. One, I think trauma. So when we say Trauma and The 12 Steps, we perhaps are gonna throw the word trauma around. As a white male, six foot two, I'm speaking for me, pull myself up by my bootstraps. Somebody tells me trauma, I tend to, not so much anymore, but get a little bit of contemptuous, like, "I've never been through any trauma." But I think it's a lot broader spectrum than we would care to admit, perhaps someone like me. So go ahead, I'll let you speak to that for a sec.0:07:58.7 DM: So here is my working definition. Trauma is any unhealed human wound. The English word, trauma, is a direct translation from the Greek word that means wound. It is a simple direct translation, trauma is a wound, so it's any unhealed human wound. And just like with physical wounds, that can come in all shapes and sizes. If the wound is not given a chance to heal, it can cause complications. And so, we could think of physical wounding as this process of, "Oh, somebody has it bad." But if they're given a chance to heal it and they get treatment, it may go on not being such a big issue in their life, but it could be something that on the surface, seems just like a scrape or a rash, but if the person is immuno-compromised or they're not getting the nutrition they need, if they're not getting the care they need, if they keep picking at it, it's going to continue to be an issue. So we can look at a lot of these parallels with physical wounding, and what we know about physical wounding and translate it to the mental, emotional, spiritual. That wounds are wounds, and yes, some are big, some are small, but individuals can experience them subjectively, and if wounds are not given a chance to heal, if they're not given the treatment or care that they need, regardless of how big or small they are, they could go on to create problems.0:09:20.7 DM: So yeah, I think you're bringing up a good point, that a lot of cultural association with trauma is still things that are at the level of what we might call Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or having gone to war, or having survived a natural disaster. And even in diagnostic codes, we've expanded our definition of that a little bit, that there's a lot of different ways people can go through life or injury-threatening experiences, and even witnessing someone else go through it, eventually qualify you for PTSD. But there's a lot of these kind of human wounds we're talking about, of all kinds, that won't necessarily give you a diagnosis, but that doesn't mean they are any less of an issue.0:10:02.3 MZ: Absolutely, and I love that or don't love it, whichever way you wanna look at it. But it could be going through parental divorce as a child, or perhaps the way we were brought up, which was acceptable 50 years ago, now might be like, "Yeah, that actually might have encouraged some trauma in your life, for example. Yeah? Yeah. Perfect. Alright, so we are here to talk about EMDR. Thank you for indulging me with...0:10:31.8 DM: It's a great set up question, to be talking about EMDR.0:10:35.0 MZ: Yeah, perfect. So I'm gonna give you a scenario, and then I'm gonna ask you a question. Okay?0:10:41.6 DM: Perfect.0:10:42.2 MZ: Fantastic, so if we think of life as a three-legged stool of relationships, finance and health, and then we think of someone who is or was successful and has two of those legs fall out from under them, and I'm basically just talking about me 10 years ago, honestly. But anyway, this could be a combination of divorce. So I went through a divorce 10 years ago, it was heavy, a couple of kids, career upheaval. So my career was on track, all I'd really known for a good 15 years was success, and then all of a sudden that blew up. One of my children was not acting like I wanted, and then I went through another failed relationship, and it was pretty heavy. And I was lucky, at the time, I didn't have any physical health challenges, but for some people, it can be physical health challenges. That coupled with some divorce or something, that can be very heavy, or for me, both my parents died really quick at that time too, so I was shellacked, I've been in recovery for a long time as well.0:11:55.0 MZ: But up until that point, it was like, "Pick yourself up from your bootstraps, Mischa. You can fix it, you can work your way through it, you can success yourself through it." And then at that point, I don't know if chaos is the right word, but it was so heavy for me, that it was like, "Man, I need new tools, I need new tools, I need to be open-minded because push-ups are not gonna do it," [chuckle] whatever. So my question to you, thinking of EMDR, what are the exact next steps you would offer this person, or me, so I knew I would be headed in the new right direction, that I'll have positive momentum towards getting my life back on track?0:12:43.4 DM: Well, 'cause I feel, to properly answer that question, I need to explain a little bit of what EMDR is, because a lot of people may not have a frame of reference. So EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. So it's a mouthful, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. And it's been around now, for over 30 years. A psychologist had formally tapped into the process of it, when she was in recovery from her own journey with cancer and she was very interested in mind-body medicine. And when she was taking a walk in a park one day, she noticed that her eyes began to move rapidly as she was engaging with some disturbing thoughts. And so, she sat down and she tested out the eye movement process deliberately, of moving the eyes back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, to see if it would have any impact on her mental wellness. And yeah, she noticed that some of the disturbing thoughts she brought up later that night, were just not as valid, they were just not as charged. And then she got a group of her other psychologist friends together and said, "Well, let's see what happens when we do this deliberately. And is there some kind of impact on these rapid successive eye movements on how kind of the brain processes trauma?"0:14:00.1 DM: And so, that's the crux of how EMDR was founded, and then it is now one of the most research therapies for post-traumatic stress disorder specifically. But a lot of other related conditions that have trauma at its base can be helped by such a method. And the method has been developed because you don't, for instance, have to use just eye movements anymore. We can put audio headsets on people, we can do kind of successive tapping back and forth, whether the person is tapping themself. And so, it really is more about the back and forth, bilateral engagement of the brain that can create these shifts in how memory is stored. So to get to your question, if a person was coming in, let's say clinically, we would look at, "Well, what are the stock areas in your life?" and it could be like with that three-legged stool, they're stuck areas in all three of those areas, and part of what the EMDR method and approach really looks at is, "What are... There's an understanding that trauma is more than just PTSD, kind of coming to your core question, and that trauma is really any unhealed human wound that can get in the way of us living a more adaptive or fulfilling life.0:15:22.2 DM: And so, if there is, let's say, a stuck point in one of those life areas that you mentioned, something that we might do is, have you identify, "Well, what's a core negative belief that you might be carrying?" So it could be something like, "I'm a failure, I'm not good enough, I'm ugly." There's any variety of ways they can be worded.0:15:46.9 MZ: Can I ask you a question? Could it be along the lines of too, let's say it's relationships, where you could get stuck in this loop of, "I should have done this, I should have done that, if this would have happened?".0:15:54.0 DM: Oh, yeah. Definite negative cognition. Yeah, yeah. And so, what we do is this process of tracing it back or floating it back to say, "Well, what's the origin story of you carrying that negative belief? I should have done something, yeah, I should have done something," and you may think it's about your relationship, like your current romantic relationship, but when you get to the origin story of it, it could be about something that happened as a child, when you felt or believed you should have done something, but you were only a child, yet you've kind of carried the burden of it. And so, what a trained EMDR therapist will do is, kind of help you set up that scene of the origin story, and really invite you to feel and to sense into where it's at in the body and what you're feeling emotionally, what that cognitive statement is, what maybe some of the energetic sensations are. And then at that point, the back and forth eye movements are applied or the back and forth tapping, and it becomes very much a meditation process at that point, where it's not just like, "Okay, presto chango, it's done," but you're invited to really sit with the feeling, sit with the experience.0:17:08.7 DM: And I like to say this about EMDR, you don't have to tell a lot of detail about what happened, it's not about you re-living it, but it is inviting you to feel what it is you maybe didn't allow yourself to feel at the time. And so, while you're inviting your client into going... We say that all the time, in EMDR, "Go with that, go with those feelings." Then we apply the bilateral and notice how shifts can happen. And for some people who come in with maybe a little bit of a simpler issue or it's more kind of singular incident trauma, it often doesn't take very long, maybe just a few sessions, but many of our clients who we work with, do have complex issues, like your three-legged stool, there's issues in all three areas. So you may need any number of sessions to address each of the three legs and how they interplay with each other.0:18:05.3 MZ: Yeah, and let me ask you a question too. I get the impression and really, what I'm hoping to bring together with the summit and everybody speaking, and people such as yourself, is that just the action of going in, like session one can provide enough relief that it's like, "Yeah, I'm headed in the right direction." I don't need 100% transformation when I walk through the door, like I just want 1% change, so I feel like there's hope. Like there's something... Yeah.0:18:40.7 DM: And that's something I try to impart to anybody I work with, is to give them one actionable thing they can do between session one and session two, and sometimes laying the relational foundation is an important part of those first couple of sessions, you're working with someone. So that, like you mentioned, there can be an imparting that, "Wow, there is hope."0:19:03.4 MZ: Yeah, and so tell me about some of the actionable things, like Where you could say, "Hey, here's... Anybody listening, you could go, "Here's some actionable things to show you... Yeah, go ahead.0:19:18.3 DM: What I might do is show somebody, like in a first session, this whole idea of shaking it off, inviting you to notice where you're most likely to feel stress in the body, "And can you imagine that stress kind of, let's say it's in your stomach, "Can you imagine it kind of moving from your stomach out through your hands and shaking the stress off, and sending it down to the ground and then may be stomping at it?" So that's one. I like to do another little skill called tension release, which is a short express version of progressive muscle relaxation, where you really super exaggerate the tension, so that in very slow motion you can notice the release. Another good kind of instance strategy is palming the face. This is used a lot in yoga nidra and meditation, and it's also working with this idea of engaging the body, and then maybe you bring those hands to your forehead, to your face, to your temples, just some area where you're, "Ooh," and then you go into it. And then you could always work with people on basic breathing, working with grounding objects.0:20:32.1 DM: There's another meditation we'll do, like a five senses scan of your space, where you start looking around and noticing what you see, noticing what you feel, sensation-wise. And that's why I often hold on to a stone, it just gives me this little sense of, "Yes, I'm here, I'm now, I'm present," and it could be, "Is there something pleasant to smell?" And another little grounding exercise I'll do with folks, and I do this with yoga students, I do this with EMDR students, and it's this practice of looking down at your feet. And anybody listening, look down at your feet wherever they're at right now, and really deliberately press them into the ground, so you feel a little sensation and then let them go a little bit, take a breath, and then press them into the ground again. And maybe you even move them back and forth kind of in this bilateral rotating way, just very slowly, very gently, almost as if you're taking a walk, right in place. And so, as you do that, I'd like you to look at your feet and think about this, that your feet will not lie to you. Your mind may pull you far into the past, may project you into the present, and that's normal when you have unhealed trauma and it can make you feel overwhelmed and not sure where you're at, but if you're ever unclear on where you're at, look down at your feet. Your feet will always tell you that you're here and now and present and connected.0:22:13.3 DM: And you can do that just as a simple meditation, maybe even kind of pumping the feet back and forth, and I tell my people all the time, "I don't expect a little exercise like that to fix all your ails, 'cause no instant thing can. But is this kind of a meditation or an exercise that you might be willing to practice doing every day, so that you can work on this idea of presence."0:22:38.5 MZ: Yeah, and oftentimes, coming back to the moment with those simple tricks, can be enough to get me over the hump of the moment, shall we say, or as those emotions ebb and flow or... I know, when all that was going on in my life, a lot of times, it was trying to survive the moment until the tide went back out, [chuckle] and then the tide would come back in, and I don't know if that makes any sense or not?0:23:16.9 DM: Yeah, it makes a lot of sense.0:23:18.9 MZ: Yeah, yeah. Perfect, fantastic. That's awesome, thank you. And then I'm curious, I think you've been involved in, obviously, your training and schooling and active, and you're prolific in your teaching, I would say. Yes, with your writing and speaking and all these sorts of things. Yes?0:23:40.6 DM: I've been so accused. So, yes. I am, I know. [laughter]0:23:46.8 MZ: You've seen it help a lot of people. I guess that's my question, and I'm curious about that. The sense of how powerful, the right word is, or healing, again, I'm thinking of the guy like me, I'm not 40 anymore, but in my 40s, coming out of a successful period of my life, where... How do you explain to someone in my terms, so I can be like, "Oh yeah, this is powerful, this is good, this is something I should potentially tap into, if I'm struggling."?0:24:25.9 DM: Well, I personally feel it's always a good idea to heal your wounds. And whether you're doing that with EMDR or any other healing practices that are being discussed here, it's important to not keep putting a band-aid on them, which is what we often do in a variety of ways. For some of us, it is drugs and alcohol and acting out. For some of us, it can be kind of getting so physically engaged in yoga, that we don't really there with letting ourselves feel.0:25:03.0 MZ: It almost becomes a distraction.0:25:05.0 DM: Yeah, yeah. So if ever I have a client that's like, "Why should I try this EMDR, why should I do any of these healing practices you're talking about?" I really try to look at it as, "Well, usually, people who end up in my office, are there because something's not right, something just doesn't feel right in their life, and I use this language a lot of, "Would you consider that because there's something that isn't healed, this is why you're stuck where you're at in your life." So, "Yeah, there may be risks in going there, but are there also risks in not going there?"0:25:43.3 MZ: I love that. That's such a powerful thought. It's almost like risk reward, like you have literally nothing to lose and everything to gain by taking a stab at it, versus continue suffering. [chuckle] I don't mean to laugh about it, but yeah, perfect. I think that this is a great place to end, Jamie. I love the description of it, and the grounding techniques that you gave, and everyone watching, if this interview with Jamie was fantastic and you want to get even more content from Jamie, upgrade to the all access pass, for the bonus interview, 'cause we're gonna do a bonus interview here next, and I know that there's gonna be even more amazing content like the little trick, that feet thing, I was thinking about, which was awesome in the moment, but What was the Bruce Willis movie? Die Hard. Did you see Die Hard?0:26:52.3 DM: Years ago.[chuckle]0:26:53.3 MZ: Yeah. Remember that he took his shoes off and rubbed his feet in the carpet. Anyway.0:27:02.9 DM: Glad it linked up.0:27:03.8 MZ: Yes, sorry, yes. Yeah. So upgrade to the all access pass, for the bonus interview. And are there any final thoughts to share, that we did not get a chance to cover?0:27:15.8 DM: I just want to encourage your listeners, you can also visit me, traumamadesimple.com, traumamadesimple.com.

And again, as a reminder, I'm in a rebrand and just about to change the name of the podcast from Bitch Slap ...The Accelerated Path To Peace over to the table rush, talk show. It's going to be more entre proneural minded, entrepreneurial minded. Again, this is the Thursday meditation, so hang in there with me.00:40 I believe that we can express our spirituality through our entrepreneurship. So we're going to be talking a lot about that in future episodes, and just growing businesses and having fun in sales and marketing and all kinds of good stuff. I believe a big part of expressing ourselves through entrepreneurship is meditation. And meditation is such a powerful tool to help us tap into that creative zone.  To co create with the universe. to be inspired.  to learn how to be nice and calm when the battle gets strong, shall we say. But nonetheless, here's a meditation. This meditation is a script that I have grabbed from Rod Strykers the forward desires. So let's get started. And be aware that there are some some spaces of time in here where I will not be talking. So it might be a minute, at some points and some points, two minutes where I won't be talking. So the meditation will be over, I will just be being quiet. So let's get started.02:03 Start by sitting tall, either in a comfortable and supportive chair, or on your couch or perhaps you've pulled over and are sitting in your car. The key thing to me is that you're sitting comfortably, where you can sit for 15 or 20 minutes withoutfeeling like you're having to hold a position if that makes sense.02:35 Alright, here we go.02:37 Close your eyes02:42 become aware of your body02:46 just relax and feel your body at rest.02:54 Become aware of effortless breathing02:59 feel the whole body03:02 and feel it breathing effortlessly?04:05 Now we're going to begin to count backward on our breath.04:12 We're going to start up the number 10. And whenever we notice our body breathe out, that will be the first count. So breathe in.04:29 First exhale 1004:36 Breathe in04:43 next exhale eight.04:48 Continue breathing. Each breath is a step backward where you feel your body and mind relax.05:00 acts more and more deeply05:06 continue05:09 the closer you get to zero05:12 the more your body and mind approach a state of complete ease05:21 on each exhale peel away another layer of stress and tension05:35 at zero rest in complete stillness and peace05:41 for a moment just feel the presence of stillness and peace.06:46 Now bring your attention to your forehead in the space between your eyebrows as you hold your attention there.07:59 Become aware of your body breathing,08:04 don't force or try to shape your breath.08:08 Just be aware of the point between your eyebrows and your body breathing08:16 the more effortless you can be the better.09:20 Allow your awareness to connect your breath to the point between your eyebrows.09:29 Now when you notice the body breathing in, your awareness moves from the point between your eyebrows to the midbrain.09:40 Something called the third eye.09:44 The midbrain is the point in the middle of your brain, roughly between your temples.09:52 When you notice your body breathing out, sense your awareness moving from the point from10:00 that point to the point between your eyebrows10:05 continue10:07 just continue to feel your awareness move from one point to another on the movement of your breath10:18 as you breathe in, awareness moves from the center of the eyebrows to the midbrain.10:27 As you breathe out awareness moves from the midbrain to the center eyebrow to the eyebrows Center.12:46 As your mind begins to settle,12:50 you will begin to feel the practice becoming more effortless and a growing sense of calm. Continue15:01 gradually you will become so relaxed your mind so quiet that you will be able to rest15:12 your whole being absorbed in a rhythm of deep rest and contentment17:23 as you experience this sense yourself becoming fully absorbed in the center just be there watch feel and listen?19:37 As the mind and body enter into a rhythm of deep peace and effortlessness, you begin to sense that your awareness at the point between your eyebrows moves in and out on its own independent of the breath19:59 eventually you can stop thinking about and working with a breath and just be aware of a kind of effortless pulse moving in in and out of the Third Eye Center20:17 gradually feel a sense of bliss unfolding your whole being flooded with a boundless sense of contentment and joy20:29 don't try just be aware and at the same time completely effortless contentment will continue to unfold the more completely you let go into effortlessness?22:46 now become aware that the source of this contentment and joy you are experiencing is actually coming from you. It is you continue letting go into the meditation until you feel that you are the source of joy and bliss. Eventually your body will feel so full of ease that you won't need to do the practice anymore.23:19 At that point, notice a feeling of deep peace both inside and outside you25:39 remain in this place for as long as you like.25:44 The meditation is complete.25:48 When you're ready,25:51 bring your awareness back to your breath.25:55 Breath in26:01 gentle breath out through the mouth.26:08 Breath in through the nose26:13 gentle breath out through the mouth.26:18 Wiggle your fingers26:24 wiggle your toes26:31 roll your head from side to side. Blink your eyes open.26:38 Embrace the new awareness26:42 that you have of your surroundings.26:45 And take that wisdom that you have that connection to your center and bring that to the rest of your day.26:56 Have a fabulous day27:11 Thank you, thank you.

A little update on the general direction of what I’m doing.  Lot’s of messy action.  I’ve started the Table Rush YouTube channel without all the cool logos, intros, outs, etc.  But I have no audience to offend yet so get after it.   I hint that I might not rebrand the podcast to Table Rush (Spoiler alert! I am absolutely rebranding this podcast to Table Rush.)  And I finally am willing to talk about my new idea…  If you have a product, you'd like to create a long form sales video to sell that product. I've got a structure a method a process to make that enjoyable, easy and fun.  The Winfomercial!Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:02Okay, time for a little update on general direction. So I've got my my Table Rush, YouTube channel up and running. It's not pretty, it's not sexy yet, but it is up and running. We've got some interviews on there, and I've got some momentum. And I decided to just take super messy action and start going before I had all the cool intros, outros, logos, any of that stuff. Like to start getting those episodes up, man. There's no audience there yet anyway, so there's no one to be offended. And I've got my Bitch Slap podcast, which you're listening to Hello. And so I was going to believe a few episodes ago, I was talking about having the Table Rush, rebranding the Bitch Slap ...The Accelerated Path To Peace Podcast, to Table Rush, but I had an epiphany that the cleanest easiest way to go is just keep doing my daily musings on the Bitch Slap podcast, and then start doing just create that YouTube channel that I always wanted to create. And that is the Table Rush Masterclass YouTube channel.  So I'm going to keep it nice and clean and the bitch slap podcast will continue on and there will be business themes weaved on through it just as there was before.  I actually don't think there's going to be much change other than then. Yeah, I don't think there's gonna be much change, just keep tracking the growth of the, of the project that I'm up to the co-creating with the universe. So awesome. Interviews might change a little bit, I might pull the Table Rush interviews and post them on this podcast. But we'll see. I just want to say that all signs, the universe has given me tons of feedback that I am absolutely on the right track. With with the Table Rush idea, and then also keeping the, the podcast so that feels good.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:59 So there'll be no re branding of the podcast. And you could anticipate me pointing you to the Table Rush podcast from from this Table Rush YouTube channel from this podcast and what's so what I'm so excited about on the on the YouTube channel is I like interacting in the video format. And I think it's fun to watch the speakers and the interviewees interact and it just as it's a ton of fun, it's a it's a great way to interact, and also reach a different segment of my audience. So super excited about that. We're so excited to have it be absolutely business oriented. And to really delve into that side of things. And I think so much personal and spiritual growth can come from, you know, entrepreneurship and being of service and trying to be of service to community and creating that win win win environment. that it's gonna be super fun to explore and bring my spiritual side into that into that business realm. As that was all we're already doing. Just a more focused just a more focused direction and approach, which I guess is a natural progression of finding my voice and learning and, and seeing how and who I can serve in the best wayMischa Zvegintzov  05:01 Okay, enough of that, that one thing that. So I had this inspiration. And this inspiration was about how to use my interviewing techniques.  My openness and my, you know, my big heart, my childish curiosity, my true interest and other people in business endeavors that that could be a skill to nurture. And to help people in the business realm. So one idea for that is, is to, by the interview process, help people suss out their message. And with the method that I'm creating, to help them create content that will create traffic, and convert that traffic into customers. And, by me, bringing my natural skills and interests to market to do that. Boy.  So what I've created, gonna say it I've been holding back and hesitant, I want this to be the perfect episode to say it. The process I've created or creating, it's almost done almost ready to be rolled out. It's called the Winfomercial.  The Winfomercial!  It's kind of like, like, it's like blending the old and the new, it's funky, new, this funky, New Age communication tool. And, yes, I've got some, some beta customers that I'm bringing through and working on the process with them. And it's pretty exciting. Totally winging this episode, now promote. So it wasn't really prepared to talk about it. But I just turned out turns out the universe wants me to get it out there. So. So you can think of it this way. You have a product, you'd like to create a long form sales video to sell that product. I've got a structure a method a process to make that enjoyable, easy and fun. And I'll interview you. And your natural charisma, the best parts of you will easily shine. And so I'll just I'll take a lot of that weight off of your shoulders. I'll be the director, the producer. And I know what questions to ask. And my shiny character, my shining light, my openness, my true enthusiasm. And Curiosity will suss out, in you, what needs to be conveyed into the sales message. There's a whole bunch of other stuff going on there too. But that's the gist of it. Thank you for listening. I will learn how to say it better. But that's what's happening. So I'm super excited to put it out there into the world like this. It's not anticipating that so. Wow. Anyway, that's the direction that's what's happening. Thank you for being part of my creative process. Thank you for sticking with me and learning with me and growing with me and yes, take some risks. Try some things. Go for it. Right. There's some endeavors that you want to try. Perhaps give them a go that's it I'm done.

The strategy is join five or so FaceBook groups that have a 100k members total.  Than interact with those groups to generate organic traffic to your FB page, lead magnets ect.  Step A) was leave all of the groups I didn’t like!  Step B is find groups that I want to interact with.  That have quality interactions.  It turns out it’s a lot of work to find those quality groups that are a good fit.     So with some effort I’ve seen my Podcast downloads increase 25%!  With some at least doubling weeks. Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:00 Oh, all righty. On this episode, I'm going to discuss the effectiveness of the 100k Facebook group strategy. Because I've been having some interesting results, some interesting results. So that'll be super fun to talk about.Mischa Zvegintzov  00:24 (Intro) Imagine a conscious contact with God so strong, that no matter what you are doing or not doing, that no matter what your kids are up to, or )Inot up to, and then whether you've got the person of your dreams or they're just not cooperating, that you are happy content, and at peace, a space where everyone else's thoughts, attitudes and actions are beautiful, and exactly as they are supposed to be. Well, this is the space where I like to play. My name is Misha Z. And this is today's pitch slap. Join me as I shed light on the thoughts, actions and attitudes that are causing you pain. And we train our minds to go to the capital S inner self, the joy that is waiting for us that God with in.Mischa Zvegintzov  01:16 Yes, the Russell Brunson 100k Facebook group strategy to grow your audience. And I would be naive to think if Russell Brunson wasn't the only one to have the strategy. But he's where I stumbled across it. And yeah, so it's it's kind of working. But before I get to that, I just want to say that my Table Rush masterclass YouTube channel, go check it out, just Google Table Rush masterclass. And it should come up. And you can check it out there should be by the time this episode publishes a good 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 interviews up there. But I keep getting confirmation that I am on the right track with that. So, you know, let's get back to the 100k. Cuz it could be a whole other episode. Yes, sorry, for the distraction. Since time is valuable, I'm not going to start over. But the 100k group strategy is such you find groups that you're interested in being a part of on Facebook, right? For anybody who is unaware, there's all sorts of cool Facebook groups out there on every niche, you can comprehend. Some of the groups are private. So you either need to be invited into the group, or you can ask to be invited, or you can ask for them to let you in. And some Facebook groups come with paid coaching. So perhaps you're in a paid coaching group and they have a Facebook group, stuff like that. But all sorts of different all sorts of different Facebook groups.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:39 Sorry, I'm a bit diverted. I'm an hoovering. Moms with dogs moms with kids. It's Halloween, right around the corner has ever recorded this. So we've got kids in Batman and Superman, princesses all over the place. All right, I made it through. And anyone who has a podcast or YouTube channel or a blog, a key to consistent publishing, is finding the times where you know you can you can bang out an episode. And so for me, it's when I'm walking. It's easy for me to record a podcast episode, you just get to hear my distraction as I stumble across kids.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:29 Anyhow, pick your groups. And so I've got some marketing groups. I'm interested in, obviously some Russell Brunson coaching group that I'm in small private group. I was in every kind of group. Not every kind of is that a lot of this like mindset groups, spirituality groups, you know, like Ram Das groups, when I thought I was going to be talking more and more about that and offering courses in that regard. I was in all those groups and but as I'm going a more business oriented direction, I found that those groups were you know...  the according to the 100k strategy, you get into your groups that have 100,000 people, so. And then. So preferably those groups are 25,000 each or less. So, if you found four groups of, excuse me five groups of 20,000. Now, you've got 100,000 people, each day you answer three questions within each group. So they've got to be active groups that have lots of questions, flowing through opportunities for you to comment, and add value. And then also, you do a value post. So a value posts that is just like, this is the thing that I learned today, or I'm focusing on or whatever that adds value, but doesn't request anything of the group. And then as you're doing your value posts, and answering questions, people will go, "gosh, who is this amazing person that's giving these great answers to these questions, and he was dropping these value bombs". And then they'll click on your Facebook profile. And then on your Facebook profile, it perhaps says what you does, but you do, or has cool links to all your fun stuff, then bam, you're creating free organic traffic, to your content, lead magnets, all this kind of stuff.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:04 So initially, I was more on the, like, the spiritual oriented metaphysical style groups had a lot of them. And what I found that was that a lot of the questions that were being answered were, like, dark and just stuffed it in make me feel shiny, and "yay!", right? Like, oh, my God, this is stuff that I don't want to I don't, it's not for me, right? Currently answering these questions or doing value bombs there, or what have you. So the last week, I have been cleaning up my groups, because I want to be efficient in my groups, and be in groups that I like, and that I believe I can add value in and that are fun for me. I'm all about fun. Right now. It's got to be fun of some sort. I mean, there's always can be frustration in the moment, but over arching an overarching bit of fun. I would like it to be sorry, distractions abound isn't walking more than usual today, it seems. And so it was actually a surprising amount of work leaving groups. So that was step a, leave the groups that, that I that? The interactions, I don't like the people in the group or not, for me, the questions that are being answered, I don't care about or don't inspire me to respond to, right, just cleaning it up a house cleaning. so I must have cleaned out 20 groups. That also meant now that I needed to start finding groups that I want did want to interact with. So I've been doing that and and it's more work than you might think. Cuz a lot of the public groups. It's just nonsense posts, spammers, all kinds of stuff. God bless, right, like, promoting, promote, promote. And so I'm looking for groups where I'm looking for quality interactions. So I am looking at the interactions that are happening. Is there a lot of interaction? Is it quality? are intelligent questions being answered? are intelligent questions being asked? Telogen answers. You know, like, I like the smart stuff.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:52 And there's something you know, this is just, I know where I can do well in. So that's what I'm looking for. I know who and what I want to interact with. So your person, your group, might be completely different. And that's cool. Find the groups that you can thrive in, that it's natural for you to interact with. Now, it might take some courage to start interacting, but that's alright. I mean, you got to go for it. So yes, it's been, it's been a bit more work than I anticipated. Cleaning up all the groups, joining new groups, and then leaving the groups once the private ones they let you in, and you're like, yep, not for me, leave that group. And then, of course, building the habit of answering questions and value posts. So I just want to say that, as I've been focusing on this for two or three weeks now, it started by just answering questions. It works, the process works, like I literally went from it's, it's at least 25% increase in my (sounds like an add doesnt it).  "At least 25% increase". A combination of Funnel Hacking Live, interacting with all the groups. Funnel Hacking Live group being one of them. So I got, I got to enter into that group as a result of going and it's a nice little group of a couple thousand People of like minded people... that there's a lot of interactions. So interacting in that group interacting in my coaching group interacting in a podcast group that I found.  I went from, hopefully having, you know, 300 downloads a week, to my new bar is 400. Like, I went all the sudden, I started having some 800, or 900, download weeks.  Where I'd never seen that before. And it was like, Wait a minute. So if you were to look at a graph, since Funnel Hacking live, you would see a steady increase as I've started interacting on groups that excite me. So I've got a long way to go to I get 100,000 People that I want to interact with within those groups. But per usual, as is the case was with most things. Effort!  You put the effort in, you're going to get results, and it doesn't need to be perfect effort. So I'm finding that I'll report back on further growth is that happens. I would encourage anybody that's trying to grow an audience. Start interacting with groups that you like, on Facebook. And then on your Facebook page, when people come to your page to see who is this smart person that's interacting. They can naturally click on your podcast link. I've got my podcasts like there currently.  So there you go. That's what I've got for you. This episodes stretched, a little stretched out a little bit. But pretty useful.

On this episode I commit to starting the Table Rush YouTube channel.  But I’m still hedging on the podcast name change to “Table Rush”…  At this point it is all about the path of least resistance.  And trying to co create with the universe.  Here is the first Table Rush interview as promised in the episode https://youtu.be/Qlp8Eu7hfXIAdministrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript:Mischa Zvegintzov 00:01 Okay, so as I am, this episode is to give you an update of what's happening with the podcast, some new creative ideas that I've had and, and what I'm thinking in that regard.  Because I have been talking about changing the name of the podcast. So yes, I've been talking about changing the name of the podcast to Table Rush, because my new avatar, who's smart, by the way, thank you Waylon. The way he framed that, go back and listen to the previous episode. At the end, oh, my goodness, life is fun. I am so lucky to be able to do this. And have fun. Thank you for listening. So where did I end up with? What was happening with the podcast? My idea was to just rename this existing podcast to Table Rush and do a rebrand of it. Perhaps and and then people could see the journey with the podcast so it wouldn't be starting a brand new podcast and and I have been interviewing, doing these new interviews for Table Rush. So the Table Rush masterclass is table rush masterclass where we get back to the sales and marketing basics to help you get your company to $1 million and beyond. It's the new vision. And so I've got, you know, for episodes for interviews done as I record this episode right now.Mischa Zvegintzov 02:16 And as I have been doing some meditating and trying to align with source, as I co create with the universe, co create with God. I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, I've won't be bashful with it, right? Like, I'm trying to co create with God right now people. So one of the prayers I'm doing within that is "today, I will make no decisions by myself." "Today, I will make no decisions by myself." I believe I've talked about this idea on the previous episode. But basically, it just means like, try I'm working very hard to be co creating with God, my higher power source, the capital S inner self, the big self, not the egoic small self. And, and that so trying to work from that space, it's been very effective. And since some and so some awareness I got in that regard, strategically to move forward. Well, basically was this, like, Well, gosh, I need if I renamed the podcast. There's this RSS feed and there's the original, like, what's effect the.com name of the thing that's tied to the RSS feed this is all technobabble doesn't matter what it means is that it keeps the original Bitch Slap ...he Accelerated Path To Peace! moniker. Although that the title you would see might be different when you click on the link, you know, just the old Bitch Slap stuff, which is cool. And I love and I was like, gosh, I'm gonna need to recreate new intros and outros and the music and, and get new artwork for this rebranding. Excuse me, and I've got other stuff going on. And I actually don't even currently want to, I know how to find the who's to do it. But I don't even want to do that at the moment. And so I was like, at the same time in the back of my mind for a while. I've been wanting to create a YouTube channel.Mischa Zvegintzov 04:55 Because Because I'm like I need to I'm a personality. On camera and the people I interview show it when you interview them on camera, you can see their personality and that can be a fun way to see the content. So I've been very much wanting to start start a YouTube channel.  And I didn't necessarily just want to do like the Bitch Slap podcast YouTube channel or wasn't inspired to and then all the sudden I was like wait a minute just go create the Bitch Slap Master or the excuse me the Table Rush Masterclass Podcast and channel and then you're good to go. And it all came together really quick. Like oh my gosh, I could literally I just went and created that channel about two seconds. And I've already got four so interviews I can start posting right away like it's so easy. I don't have to create intros, outros music, graphics, anything yet. I could literally just start posting the videos up there the interviews and get after it. And then I was like, hey, you know what a good idea is and we'll see if this happens. By the time this episode comes out, perhaps this will be happening. But the YouTube masterclass would... I could literally just say something like this. If you want to hear more of my daily musings, go over to the Bitch Slap, Bitch Slap ...Accelerated Path To Peace podcast, here's the link. And then on the podcast side, I could say hey, if you want to see any of these interviews moving forward. if you would like to watch them, instead of just listen to them. You can watch them over on the master class on the Table Rush Master Class YouTube channel, Geez Louise.Mischa Zvegintzov 07:24 And I'm thinking like yes, that's awesome that so that's what I'm going to do as I record this that's what I'm going to do. Some people might think that's a great idea. Some people might think it's a bad idea. more will be revealed. Sometimes you just got to go for it. And that's the path of least resistance. And right now that's what I need the path of least resistance. And I guess that's the path of least resistance. And I am wanting to my goal with this episode is to keep you engaged, keep you abreast of the journey and what I'm thinking so you can be along the ride with me on a more deeper level. Right like the shift is definitely going towards the business side of things but fully bring in the spiritual message. you know, co creation with the universe co creating with God all that stuff, all the spiritual tips and tricks that I do. Yeah, so I'm super excited. That's where we're headed. And hopefully, if you like, if you want to watch, watch an interview, go over to the Table Rush Master Class YouTube channel, the link will be in this episode. Where there we go. Now I've given myself a hard stop date or a hard start date. What is that? And if you want to hear my daily musings will just stay on listening to the podcast, and by all means do both. Alright. Believe I've covered everything. Love to all.

So I’ve had the epiphany that telling certain types of stories will attract a certain audience.  In this case I’m thinking strictly men or women.  So I give it a go and dig into my repertoire of man-centric stories laced with adventure, risk, accidents, and stitches!  To test the theory and see if they attract a more male audience.  The good news, being a clumsy A type adrenaline junky…  I have stacks of them.  I offer up just a few recent ones. Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

After listening to Russell Brunson say for the 10th time.  You can attract different people to you depending on the stories you tell.  It finally sinks in as the truth.  I see that many of the stories I tell are more “heart centered” which tend to gravitate towards the women.  So I have a more female audience.  And as I start to tell more adrenaline fulled stories the men are starting to pop up their heads. Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript:Mischa Zvegintzov 00:00Oh my gosh, I just had an epiphany. And I want to talk about storytelling and the type of stories that you tell how that is going to attract a certain segment of your, a certain segment of audience, right. And it's funny as I say that, it's like duh, even hearing myself say it. It's like, Duh. But you can only hear, which you can hear when you're ready to hear it.Mischa Zvegintzov 00:34 (INTRO) Imagine a conscious contact with God so strong, that no matter what you are doing, or not doing, that, no matter what your kids are up to, or not up to, and that whether you've got the person of your dreams, or they're just not cooperating, that you are happy content, and at peace, a space where everyone else's thoughts, attitudes and actions are beautiful, and exactly as they are supposed to be. Well, this is the space where I like to play. My name is Misha Z. And this is today's pitch, slap. Join me as I shed light on the thoughts, actions and attitudes that are causing you pain. And we train our minds to go to the capital S inner self, the joy that is waiting for us, the God within.Mischa Zvegintzov 01:27 So here we go. Let's talk about the epiphany that I had the the idea that you can, that you can attract different markets, by the stories that you tell. And we all know that in sales, and marketing, that telling stories is a very powerful tool. Especially if they're related to yourself. And you're the attractive character, shall we say? I love I think Russell Brunson is a master story teller, clearly a master storyteller. And he talks about how inventorying your stories, and being good at talking in parables, AKA a story. And in Dot Com secrets. I was listening to the audio version the other day.  He was talking about how maybe it wasn't on.com secrets, maybe it is, I'm sure it's in there somewhere. But it's definitely and I was watching a video of his excuse me. And effectively, he was saying, I've heard him tell the story in different places. But the story goes, he you know, is very good at selling men, like bringing in men to his, into his, into his realm into his service realm. Right. He's very good at bringing that in, and then helping them and, you know, building his business with with manly customers, but that his stories that he was always telling. Typically we're around wrestling and, and such in more of manly style things.Mischa Zvegintzov 03:28 And for anybody who was unfamiliar with Russell Brunson, he, he speaks from stage a lot. And then he sells and he hopes for what's called the table rush. And it's the name of this podcast. So new name of this podcast. So people are excited to buy, they rushed to the table at the back of the presentation room to sign on the line that is dotted hand over their credit cards, what have you, he's the master at, at finding out what the customer needs and wants. So and he fills that, that need and tell stories to help do it and and so he said, You know, one time he was selling from stage and consistently men would show up and or men would buy, right and then he would have a table rush of men. And then this one time, he was having a moment and he got extra vulnerable. And he told the story about how him and his wife were having troubles having you know, getting pregnant and so they had to go through the fertility treatments and stuff like that. And he was crying and you know, and then he looked up at the table rush when it was you know, time to sell and everyone was buying And there was, you know, 50% women, when there was never usually any women. And so yeah, I had the aha moment of oh, wait a minute, like, like, the, the, the tale I tell is very important.  But so is tailoring it to perhaps a wider... tell an additional story to get the other part of the audience, I guess, is the way to say that.Mischa Zvegintzov 05:31 And I've been thinking as, you know, it just hit me. And I had was on a walk and had my microphone with me, thank goodness, because I was like, Oh, my audience, I've been trying to talk to men, you know, to two men. And, but I have this large female audience. And it hit me because I tell these emotion, very emotional stories about, about the moments of realizing my kids and time with kids are so important. And, and these more you know, I don't know, feminine stories.  I don't know, call it but you will. I'm trying to not to stereotype or generalize or, or, or, or, you know, get pass judgment or whatever this is, strip all that out if you can't, but as I talked about, you know, redemption with Dawn, the boys mom, I talked about healing the heart, I talked about lots of these, what seemed to be typically female based themes. I'm getting a lot of that audience which is awesome. Because currently, I am absolutely down to provide, you know, entrepreneurial, lead gen and conversion, conversion services to both men and women. As I shift from sort of a healing modality to a business modality, and, and backdooring, the, the spiritual healing side of things. And surprise, surprise, as I talk more business, I talk more business strategy. More men are popping into my radar, who groove on that.Mischa Zvegintzov 07:45 I was like, Oh, my gosh, I have so many amazing stories to tell. And not only actually business but it's even more specific. I'm sorry, because, you know, women love Business Women love adventure, too. When I talk about my, my gambling escapades, and I was a professional gambler. And, and played in the World Series of Poker, you know, in in the early 2000s, being on the front end of the big wave of that. Or if I talk about my snowboarding, or more adrenaline fueled stories, or stitches, or big wave surfing, not big, big wave surfing, but big wave surfing for me where I ended up getting stitches. But as I talk more of these adrenaline stories they resonate with a more male audience. And so I'm like, Oh, my gosh, I've been such in this coming out of you know, divorce, Broken Heart sadness, you know, finding new purpose, heart centered language.  You know, for the past six or seven years, of course, that that that language tends to be attracting more female based audience.  But I don't know I feel super vulnerable to saying all this but I'm saying it anyway. I'm, I just see it. It's true. let's generalize. Let's call a spade a spade. A, you know. Yeah.Mischa Zvegintzov 09:41 So anyway, I'm going to I'm going to tell some more. Some more stories based from the adrenaline side of things. I don't know if adrenaline side of things is it but yes, actually, it is because I have another major epiphany, which I'm going to I have my first story teed up and ready to go. And it also has to do with a little bit of a function of maturity as a male and reignited business. So I believe that that thank you for listening, thank you for being a part of my aha moment of telling different stories to pull in different segments of your audience. And that's it, let's let's grow our businesses. Let's take risks. Let's live a life of adventure.Mischa Zvegintzov 10:40 (OUTRO) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for spending time with me today.

I’m talking to my temporary neighbor Christie.  And she’s either telling me that I look at things like a 5th grader.  And to stop asking for advice…  Or…  I remind her of Oprah with my openness and enthusiasm.  And congratulations on being convicted on your new vision.  It all depends on how I want to look at it.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:02 Who knows where this episode is going to go, I do have a story to tell. And it is about the stories we tell ourselves when somebody is talking to us.  Or, more specifically, perhaps what we hear is not what they're saying. Or even better, we can frame it however we want. It's all in our perception. And I'm really grooving on that idea right now. So I'm going to talk a little bit about that I had a discussion with my neighbor who well somebody who's living in my neighbor's driveway. Christy she is so sweet and so wise and and she's a coach and she lives she lives in a converted van. And my neighbor's got a really cool house actually awesome views and just you know, super chill, she's always has these little parties over there, you know, gatherings the neighbors are you know, drinking their wine around sunset. I, I I hang out at my house anyway. Because the parks, it's the best parking what a place to park your van, and be able to, like, look at these amazing sunset views and, and it's pretty, you know, what a person could could do worse than, than that setup. Anyway, I am in a mood tonight. I just, I was thinking, I'm gonna get to the point here.Mischa Zvegintzov  01:59 But before I do. I've been watching some training videos for the two comma club x, this program that I'm in to grow my business and I'm committed to the business side of things as well. Just so you know. So good news. First off is that I will not be starting a new podcast and walking away from the Bitch Slap podcast. I will just be rebranding the podcast to call it Table Rush. My coach Vince said hey, just rename your current podcast and have fun with it. I was like you know what? You're right. Like there's no need to just you know, shit can it.  Excuse my language.Tthrow the baby out with the bathwater.  But I also had the strong realization that I'm taking a sigh can take things seriously as people should they should take their podcast seriously. But I just am in this mindset right now. Like it's none of this matters. Like none of it matters in the biggest picture of things. None of it freakin matters. And I've just let go of results and the expectations around it. I'm doing the best I can. I'm trying to be of service. And it just seems like a lud... a ludicrous mockery. Sometimes if I was to be perfectly honest with you. So Russell Brunson. I don't know if anybody follows him or follows his marketing secrets, podcast, or click funnels and all this stuff. I'm obviously embedded heavily in it. And I love it. I'm all in and I'm going deeper in every day. And I'm super stoked to have found the inspiration and to be charging ahead and I've got this great business idea that I'm going to run with and hack. Yeah, man, like, stuffs happening, and it's fun, and I'm charged up. So that's the good news. And I'm trying to be of service with my podcast. Oh my gosh, I hope I can get to the point of this episode. And the point of the episode is I kind of feel loops going here. But the point of the episode is, is to have the episodes moving forward. How do I take these stories that I'm telling and spin them the lessons towards business? Right and my mindset, I suppose, because mindset can be so important to entrepreneurship and business creation, and growth and scaling and all that so...Mischa Zvegintzov  04:53 This might need to be a two or three parter. Back to Russell Brunson. So, a bunch of these trainings, Russell Brunson was laughing at himself on how with his marketing secrets podcast, he didn't find his voice until episode 41. Episode 41 was when the Russell Brunson, funnel hacker. Father, leader extraordinare found his voice on his podcast. And sorry, that was a son yelling in the background chirping in the background. I don't know at what? Home my gosh, this is just, you know, this is fun. This is fun. If my service today is having fun and helping you have fun, regaling you with stories. Will God bless. So Steve Larson, who's another big funnel hacker crony of Russell Brunson, who's very good at what he does. Was, you know, telling Russell Brunson that, hey, your podcast effectively sucked until Episode 41. When you finally figured out what the heck you were doing and talking about, and you found your voice, right.  So as I just published as I'm recording this episode, I published I just scheduled for publishing episode number. Where is it? Give me a Give me a sec here. Of course, it's not right in front of me. It's like episode number 340. or some such thing. I'm going to tell you. It's very important to me that I tell you, episode number. Come on computer. 344. Yep. So 344, I still would tell you that I have no idea what I'm doing. I have. Have I found my voice is Misha found his voice? Yet? Yeah. Right. It just all seems so ludicrous. It's one of those days, but I am charging for it. I also had the moment of, of, you know, it might not be downloads or looks or likes, although I do have like 12 or 13,000 downloads, that's which is awesome. But I have definitely learned a lot if I was to catalogue that.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:38 Now, let's talk about Christie my neighbor. Let's just close all these loops. Let's get her done. Christie, and so Christie, my neighbor, I'm talking to her. And I hear I'm telling her about my new value ladder mission statement about, you know, who I'm going to help. And I'm all excited about it. And I'm all excited about the business pivot, helping people in this awesome idea. And and I hear her say, "Well, you know, at some point, you got to stop asking for advice". Like, she was telling me stop asking for advice. So when I heard right, so one way I heard it, and then I was running to the store to get my Apple keyboard fixed. Because I guess I got some food under the tab button. So it was no longer working. And I heard her say, oh, Apple is for fifth graders, basically fifth graders because of the closed system like she likes Dell and all this because she can do all this cool computer stuff. On Wintel that you can't do on Apple, because Apple's a closed system. So I could have and did for a moment perhaps take both of those things negatively. In the same conversation at the same time, she said, effectively, congratulations on having such a solid vision, this new vision that that I've have that's manifested. Right. And so it turns out, she wasn't actually saying, Stop asking for advice. She was saying how great you're at the spot where you're convicted and know your direction. And you know, no longer need to get people's opinion about it.Mischa Zvegintzov  09:48 Yeah, that's a much better way to hear that right. Yes, indeed. And then, I also, you know, as I was talking about how I was going to use my interview skills Here's my, my childish wonder and enthusiasm as I look at things and interview people and. And she says, Yeah, you know, she said, "You remind me of when I met Oprah". And she was talking about how Oprah made was so open and made. People feel like, she was just like, they were in her space, you know. And so, at the end of the conversation, I said, I said, you know, you basically told me to stop asking people for advice, that I've had the intelligence of a fifth grader. I was teasing her. But then I did say, but I'm just kidding a little bit. Um, you actually told me that, congratulations on my solid vision. And that I remind her of Oprah. And I thought, You know what, that was just, I, it's so fun to have the awareness in the moment to be like. Holy mackerel, it's how I choose to hear things. Oftentimes, it's how I choose to hear things and I've got a buddy who who says things excuse me, and I really realize you know what, it's not about me at all. Like put your ego aside. Like, like, it's literally whatever negative thing I think he's saying. I don't need to take it personal. It's not about me. I don't know how else to say it. It's like it could be just about him. How he sees himself. And I take it on. Anyway. That's it. So ludicrous, extra long episode I believe we'll see when it comes to editing. But life is fun. Keep at it, try new things. Keep learning on gaining ground every day love to all.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Gratitude is such a powerful tool.  I talk about two counterintuitive things in regard to gratitude.  1) Perhaps how we look at gratitude isn’t right sometimes.  Being told to compare what we have in regard to what other people don’t have.  If we continue to compare ourselves to others, and try to see how we're better off, that’s actually perhaps not healthy.  And 2) Go ahead and write down the negative things on your life on your gratitude list.   Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:02 All right. Today we're going to talk about gratitude, and perhaps some counterintuitive thoughts that I've had on gratitude. Maybe not only counterintuitive as to what to write down for me, and this is for me. Last episode, I was talking about Adam, who's so graciously customer, some customer tech support over at, GoDaddy, who reminded me that change your perspective, and the things you look at change. Thank you for that, Adam. But when I started going on my little riff on that, and thanking Adam and I started to talk about gratitude, and how powerful gratitude can be in our lives, and we hear all the time, gratitude lists. You know, make gratitude lists in the morning, 5 things you're grateful for. You know, just if you're, if you're upset in the moment find something to be grateful for. And it is such a powerful tool. And I came across ah...  I'll talk about two things in regard to gratitude. One is that perhaps, perhaps how we look at gratitude isn't right sometimes. And then to go ahead and write down the negative things in your life on the gratitude list. So those are my two counterintuitive thoughts. Right? So I think oftentimes, we're told to be grateful what you have as to what other people don't have. And I think that that implies that the shiny objects are to be grateful for. Right? Or like, you know, in extream circumstances, be grateful, you've got your feet, and you can walk because some people don't, right. Mischa Zvegintzov  02:06 And I'm not saying be don't be grateful for that. But when we start comparing, and it's kind of a nuanced way to look about it. And this idea was brought to me, I think I read it in A Course In Miracles, you know, I'm all into A Course In Miracles. And let's say, This is what the Course in Miracles said, it's the way I interpreted it. But it was like, hey, if we continue to compare ourselves to others, and try to see how we're better off, like, that's actually perhaps not healthy. Because the better off is an illusion. Right? Like, and I love actually love that idea. It's like trying to find the god gratitude versus the I've got gratitude versus the compare gratitude. Because the illusion is my life's better because "I have this". Well, the reality is, a lot of the "I have this" has been a source of major discontentment in my life. Right. And so let's, let me try and tie that... I appreciate you going down this path with me. And I was thinking as I was on a meeting the other day, on a zoom, meeting with a group of people and gratitude was the topic and of course, people were talking about gratitude lists. And in the back of my, in my mind, I started thinking about... you know...  According to this, like, Well, alright, maybe I don't, on my gratitude list, put the things that I've got that you don't. So therefore, I'm grateful running water, all the way up to shiney house to whatever, you know. And I was like, what if I started writing down the supposed negative things in my life to be grateful for them? Right. And I thought, that's an interesting thought. And then I immediately went to well, let's put down the top worst things in my life that perhaps I've seen.  Or would be perceived as bad.   Or you know, all these these ideas. So when I got sober back in the day, you know, when I was 17 years old, and because I was gonna die, I was dying from alcohol and drugs. You know, there was the final, you know, moments in jail. There was there was that the judge, you know, laying the hammer down. Like, there was the the... I was crushed. best thing that ever happened to me .   Mischa Zvegintzov  03:11 So it's best thing that ever happened to me, and it's given me, like, the, the addiction and chemical dependency and all that is actually the best thing that happened to me. It's given me an amazing perspective on life.  It's given me access to a higher power that provides me immense contentment and freedom and joy and peace in the moment. And it's actually introduced me to a framework of how to live life like steps, here's some steps you can take to have a good life. And I really learned, oh my god, like, if you follow steps, you can have success. If you see something out there that is calling to you, and someone's done it before you and they have a framework for you to follow, you can literally go follow that framework and have success. I mean, in get the end result, or some piece of it, or some part of it, right.  I guess some people might go, I want to go be a neurosurgeon, but perhaps their hands are too shaky, or perhaps their mental capacity is carried towards something else, and not neuroscience, or neurosurgery or whatever, you know. But I think you get what I'm saying.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:08 And then there was the darkest days of, of that final breakup that I went through that just emotionally devastated me, you know, this was, like, seven years ago or something by now. But again, in that moment, I would have told you, it's horrible. But I was devastated. But again, it brought it's brought me so much freedom and insight and, like, release from pent up emotions and, and fears.  And it's just broght me so close to My God, my higher power my source. Like new levels, again, of freedom and release of the illusions of those shiny objects that I think I've got to have to be happy. No. And I had come up with this whole list of the worst things and I'm like, Oh my gosh, if I started looking at what's the available lesson and every supposed negative thing. Wow. So start making that my gratitude list all the bad things, you know, I've tried to think about that thing right now. I could put up my list. Oh, the neighbor planted a tree. I'm like, god dammit, that's gonna grow and impede whatever view of some damn thing I've got, like, all right. You know what the trees do? They just bring amazing birds and they actually provide shade and any foliage... Like it it dampens sound. So any road noise and like it actually makes everything more peaceful. I swear I and I get that a lot as I setting in my house and I hear the birds chirping all over the place. Like oh my god if like if there wasn't all this foliage around impeding my view of whatever the bank across the street.Mischa Zvegintzov  08:27 Then there wouldn't be these birds that are just there's there's so many amazing birds flying around here the life that the birds bring is incredible.  But that's just one example. And so I also started thinking you know the gratitude for... like if you're God's big enough you're just you can be grateful for the fact that we have breath today.  But even then, it's like if you're if my gods big enough like there's more next there's something. Or there's more meaning than just my egoic attachment to this to how I feel right now. And so you can be grateful for death to.  You can be grateful for, grateful for the way, grateful for creation.  Grateful for the way everything works. Supposed it good or bad. Just like a core knowing gratitude.  Yeah. Mischa Zvegintzov  09:41 There's that guy Nick. I wish I could remember his last name (Nick Santonastasso).  But he effectively has you know, he's had some disease when he was kid. Kinda wish I could remember his last name. But he's so powerful because he's got basically one arm and on this arm he's got you know, like one a couple of fingers, that's like one big finger. I don't know that. So much of what he does, and when I see him, you know, on the Instagram or whatever. And I've had the opportunity to see him speak live twice, once in person and once on a on like a zoom thing during the COVID. But I got to see him Funnel Hacking Live, I got to see him live. But also he was he was hanging out a bunch at Funnel Hacking Live, that was the great thing about the funnel, hacking live 2021. If you ever have an opportunity to go to one of these things, you should.  Because all these amazing speakers, if you're into this kind of stuff, like Nick was there hanging out, he was just hanging out rolling around in his wheelchair with his posse, his crew, fully accessible.  You could talk to him as much as you want it. Then his parents were there. Actually, it was funny at a moment to talk to his parents. But I was like, who's the old people older than me, people are actually probably my age.Mischa Zvegintzov  11:11 But I went to talk to somebody I knew. I had one of those moments of talk to someone you don't know or talk to the person, you know. And for whatever reason, I was like, I just I wasn't feeling like introducing myself or striking up a new conversation. Because I had some fear and insecurity, right. And so I went talk to the people that I knew. And I looked back over and Nick rolls up and it turns out these people that I weren't going to talk to who looked like they were looking for someone to talk to as they were because they know anybody.  Then all of a sudden there was Nick talking to his parents. And I was like what the hell what a crazy I kind of had such so much fun talking to his parents just to get insights into what they feel experienced.  Like to get the parental perspective of a son who's just empowering people through his supposedly defects, you know, physical defects. It's like unbelievable.  But anyway it's a good reminder for me next time if I have the opportunity to put my fears aside and embrace the unknown of who I don't know. Anyway. Got so many thought loops going here.Mischa Zvegintzov  12:26 But Nick is so great at pointing out that the body stuff is the illusion man.  Like when I would have been in physically fit, like in my best physical fitness.  Or I think I might my most handsomeness shining honest, right? Like the most echoic stuff to offer have sometimes been my deepest points of insecurity. And he just shines a light on that on me and it's beautiful, and I love it. He's like your body is nothing. And like he talks about how his physical defects are the biggest gifts in his life. And I believe it man. I see it in action man. So anyway, Nick, God bless you. I'm going to end there. And just say quick that like, hey, maybe start writing down on your gratitude list. The top five things that you're unhappy about that cause you discontent and look for where you can find the goodness in that? Because that's it man shit keeps coming at us in life and we get the five gratitude in it or we don't anyway, I'm out.  Enough of my pontificating. I hope this made some sort of sense. Please reply back. Go into the show notes. I believe that's [email protected] send me an email "Yeah, right on. I was relating." or "Man you're full of crap!" Anyway, love to all Peace out.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

I call customer service with my guns drawn expecting the worst but praying for the best. And I get the shining light Adam on the phone who reminds me. If you can change your perspective, the most horrible thing in the world can become the best thing in the world.  Circumstances don't need to change to make our lives better. The way we see things, our perspective needs change. And it's as simple as that. Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Zvegintzov  00:02 This episode is about changing your perspective. And you will subsequently change what you see. So if you change your perspective, what you see literally changes. And how did this come about? Well, we all hear that all the time, or I hear that all that time, be grateful to change your perspective, which is all valuable. I am not Pooh poohing it or down, playing it, I firmly believe it. If you can change your perspective, the most horrible thing in the world can become the best thing in the world. We hear a lot about gratitude lists, right? And, you know, write down the five things you're grateful for, or, or, or, you know, do your gratitude list at the beginning of the day into the during the day, if you're upset. Think about what you're grateful for. And by the way, I've got to give a shout out to Adam at GoDaddy. Adam at GoDaddy. So this is how the topic of this of this podcast episode came about. Right. So as I'm pivoting to, from Bitch Slap to Table Rush, this will become the Table Rush podcast at some point, the Table Rush hour, I had this great. The great tagline hold please, I'm going to pause. Alright, I'm back, Table Rush, Business Edition!, your reminder to tackle the marketing and sales basics to grow your business. And because I like the sort of the bitch that slap theme, you know, little crack on the side of the head, hey, look at things from a spiritual angle. And this podcast is going to be the same Bitch Slap theme. Don't worry people because it's very important. But the Bitch Slap is crack, hey, it's about the basics. If you want to have success in business, you got to stick to the basics and geared towards marketing and sales, right? Like, there's systems people out there, you know, accounting people out there. You know, process people out there, all this different stuff. And all of that applies to marketing and sales. But I'm, I'm more talking about the activities, the basic blocking and tackling marketing and sales activities that lead to success. Most of the time, it's about consistency, and tenacity, and doing, you know, whatever the outreach is, or whatever, I that's not where I'm going with this with this podcast, but you get it. We're going to be talking about that a lot. Go into the basics. Mischa Zvegintzov  03:09 Back to Adam. So, you know, I'm registering, you know, you know, podcast names and stuff like that. That's what I do, I end up as I'm brainstorming, podcast names, or business ideas or summit names, I just start registering, like mad, and I end up spending like, hundreds of dollars for domains that I never use, and then I let them expire. But whatever, it's part of the process. That's half the fun. Not saying anybody should do that. Probably a much more efficient way is wait until you settle on the name you want and then register it nonetheless. Nonetheless, that's actually not how I ended up on GoDaddy this particular day. This particular day, I was having forwarding issues on a on a on bitch lab podcast.com It was not doing what I wanted to do somewhere and I'm not deep tech savvy. I can do high level tech savvy, but when it comes down to it, I can follow instructions. You give me the list and I can do it. I can make stuff happen. I don't know how or why or what's happening but I can follow the instructions anyway. I have to call customer service because stuffs not working over there. And and I'm talking to Adam and he's like, Oh, what's your podcast about? And I'm like, Oh, it's you know, it's Bitch Slap in. It's about, you know those moments in the universe where where, you know, we get cracked in the head, we got to see things differently. He goes, Oh, yeah, man, I've been going through that for the past seven years, or nine years or something like that. It was awesome. He's like, I totally understand that. I love that, you know, I'll check out your podcast and and then all this stuff.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:20 And then he's like, yeah, he goes, he goes, he goes, you know, change your perspective. And you'll change what you see. He goes, change your perspective, and what you're looking at will literally change. And I might be butchering the, quote, the way you said it. What was another way said, "when you change your perspective, the things you look at change", I believe that that would be the quote unquote.  And I thought, just in that moment, it was amazing to hear it from him from the customer service, the tech support guy, Adam. Yo, Adam, thank you so much, it just, my day was so amazing. And you were such a big part of it. This was yesterday, I believe that he was just talking about that, and to hear it from a source that I wasn't expecting it. And this is what made it even more poignant. Customer service, tech support phone calls, call trees, you know, if you got to call the bank or health insurance, or GoDaddy tech support, or any of these support things... I am super chill in almost every area of my life, when it comes to help desk issues when I got to call the help desk. It's just the biggest trigger in the world for me. So I literally when I when I go to pick up the phone, and I'm like, Oh my gosh, I got it, I gotta get mentally prepared for the call tree, or the the, the, you know, customer support. And so I say this prayer, I'm like, "God, how can I be of service? What can I bring to the table help me just help me be God centered?" And you know, things just don't happen as fast as I want how they want, I oftentimes don't get the answer I want. And then I project it like this is going to be horrible, the answer is going to be bad. Right, just this whole mental hopscotchery that I have tied, it's like all my neuroses are amplified. When I got to pick up the tech support, the help desk, you know, the oh my god, especially with freakin health care.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:48 Anyway, and I'm really serious, I try to take accountability. So I'm trying to be extra mindful, so I don't have to clean and overreact and then have to apologize. And I really noticed too, like the tone of my voice, man, it shifts and I'm like, "Damn, I'm trying to be nice", but the tonality of my voice, there's still an edge to it. So I was really noticing it, you know, as I'm on I had to make a couple of calls.  Had to... first tech guy, complete rookie. So he gave me what I needed. I ended the call just to save him and me and I thanked him so much because he did a great job as a rookie. But then I, I tried to implement and I called back and got Adam on the phone. Hey, Adam. And this dude, I mean, this is a pro at the tech support. And God he was so patient with me, let's be real. And I just think about customer support and help those there truly in a space of trying to help and I can be in attack mode. But I was gracious I had I was gracious I'm making it sound worse than it is. I've had my moments but this there was nothing really bad going on but just just to set up the frame right to set up the frame of like, I can expect the worst going into those calls. And then all of a sudden I get this shining light Adam who was A a tech savvy tech support guy like to the core of this guy knows what he's doing. And then B just relating on the spiritual side of things. And C he just dropped the frick in the change your perspective bomb. And it's so true. Like circumstances don't need to change to make our lives better. The way we see things, our perspective needs to change. And it's as simple as that.Mischa Zvegintzov  10:01 It's as simple as that. And I love it and to hear it from that's from that source in that moment. When when I was perhaps anticipating the worst. It's just such a powerful God shot. You know, Little Bitch Slap from the universe. We were laughing. But anyway, I'll end there. Thank you, Adam. I told him I'd give him a shout out. So I wanted to I wanted to get get this episode up quick, just in case he listens to a few episodes wished I had your last name to Adam. But again, thank you for the help. Thank you for the reminder about perspective. Thank you for just being a source of of solution. And, you know, enlightenment on that day. And I'm going to end with this the that you know what, I'm going to the next episode, I'm going to talk about gratitude because I had a big some big thoughts on gratitude. Yeah, so gratitude and maybe some counterintuitive gratitude thoughts. So let's do that for the next episode. Anyway, I'm done. Peace out. Change your perspective and what you see changes. And it's as simple as that. You don't need to change circumstances. All you need to do is change your perspective. Peace out.

I’ve come up with the name for the rebrand of the podcast.  Table Rush!  For a moment I thought it might be Bitch Slap: Business addition.  But my coach said it might be a good time to drop the “bitch”.  Somehow I’m willing to let go attachment and go with the new name.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript:Mischa Zvegintzov  00:00Well, it is happening. There is a major change in store. There sure is major change for the Bitch Slap Podcast is in order. So let's talk about that for a little bit Challis. Okay, let's do it. Very exciting, right on these past few episodes I've been talking about shifts in, who I want to help and serve who I can help and serve. I believe who I'm best suited to, to help and it's definitely clear, that I'm gonna help people who want to help people. I'm I'm gonna pivot away from the, from the... Not going to. I am, I am pivoting away from the, shall we say, divorce dad, who was trying to, you know, find new passion or, or.  Pivoting away from, you know, the excuse me, the A type who's trying to realign and re-find their direction. They just had this epiphany. You know, that's definitely was super strong at Funnel Hacking Live, which is that entrepreneurial marketing conference. Online Marketing Conference. That what brings me joy is talking business, talking business strategy, talking marketing strategy.  It's been a big part of my life for a long time. I love it. It makes my heart shine. I'm totally going that direction. And I've got some great focus and ideas on who I'm going to help with that. Maybe I'll get to that here. But what I was gonna...Mischa Zvegintzov  02:15I think the value I bring, as well as you know, bring in the spiritual perspective, for sure that I have into the business arena as I reemerged into the business arena. Because they I great tools, techniques, strategies to stay heart centered to stay with, you know, your passion. How to not get distracted by the shiny objects and and I definitely have clarity that I can help people who are stuck as they're trying to grow their businesses. And at this point, that's going to be more of your, you know, solo entrepreneurial type. Versus like, like, what, like a CEO or something like that, or working with big businesses. That's at this point, it could grow to that. But very excited about that. So we are going to be renaming the podcast. It was really cool. I was talking to my business coach and and the new podcast title is going to be Table Rush. Yes, Table Rush. And what was there my tagline all the sudden I've forgotten it. I had it written down. But of course, I'm out walking. So it just came to me as I hit pause and was walking by kids and families in such. Table Rush, getting back to the basics to grow your business. I'll say it again, Table Rush, getting back to business. Getting back to basics, to grow your business. Which I think is awesome. I think I definitely am good at following steps to execute. I've talked about it on many episodes, follow the instructions, do the basics, and you can get the results that are so oftentimes promised or that we've seen other people get the same results, get the results of doing the same thing. So I think that's super cool. Definitely gonna be Table Rush. Most definitely, let's say 90 to 95%. Tagline is still in flux. Tagline still in flux still in play.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:57Originally I was gonna go Bitch Slap Business Edition, which I thought was pretty cool, too. And then it was like, hey, you know the the Bitch Slap is the smack on the side of the head telling you to get back to basics like. Quit Chasing the shiny shiny objects. Like, let's get you unstuck let's, let's do the next indicated step that's right in front of you. But with bitch slap moniker, my coach very graciously said to me that probably a great time to drop the name, drop the word bitch from out of your podcast.  So who knows what, what the woke terms will be if I ever have enough success where people look at my old content and are shocked by what's out there.  That'd be a fun problem to have, I think.  An amazing problem to have. And I think, you know, what value can can we learn? Like some you know, from this? Or what can I learn? Or what what's the lesson I think is there?  At least one of them for all of us has to stay tenacious in what we do stay consistent in what we do. Get connected enough with your your purpose, so that you can continue to take messy action and can then pivot accordingly. And I think it's a pretty big step for me to be willing to walk away from the Bitch Slap ...The Accelerated Path To Peace. And I was actually going to just shutter this whole podcast all together and start a new. But my coach Vince, hello, coach Vince, if you're listening, recommended, hey, you know what, just rebrand your current one. Just rebrand your current one and have fun with it. You know, come up with a fun name, have fun with it.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:26And and that's what I'm going to do. And I'm going to embrace the old content and let it go and let it be there. So we'll just rebrand this and let it rip. And in three to five years, as I have success, what a great thing to be able to look back on. So that's one lesson on I definitely think being willing to pivot quick is another one I'm somehow willing to walk away from so much of what I have vested in, you know, the original idea that got me started here. But a bunch of other lessons in there too. As I'm walking, they're escaping me. But I think that's enough for now. Very excited to talk more about the new vision that I have about who I can help you know, business wise and help people. You know, get back to the basics get to the blocking and tackling so they can grow their business to that to that million dollar mark to that million dollar annual revenue revenue. And perhaps it's your first million dollars, or perhaps it's consistently growing from a million dollars a year. But I think that that's a beautiful place to start. So love to all Peace out.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!
