Optimistic salespeople outsell those who are not by over 50%!

Best Explanation of Love in a Fast-Food Relationship World – BtR 172

Brandon and Jerry continue the discussion with author and pastor, Mike Bullock, on the best explanation of love in a world that has cheapened the word.What is Love - Baby Don’t Hurt Me?You may have heard the 1993 hit song “What is Love?” by Haddaway. The lyrics open like this.What is love?Baby don’t hurt meDon’t hurt meNo moreThe majority of the song repeats combinations of that phrase. It is a dance tune after all. Mike shares how our world seems to have cheapened the word “love.” We use it to describe a food we like, “I love pizza!” We use it to describe our excitement over things like a new car, new computer, jewelry, etc.Focusing on the use of the word love probably has led to the best explanation of love we’ve ever heard.If love can be attached to meaningless, discardable things in our lives, what does that plant in our hearts and minds about discarding our closest relationships? Shouldn’t the definition of love in marriage be a much deeper one? The vows used in marriage often include phrases like the following: In sickness and in health For better or worse Richer or poorerLove accepts both the good and the bad in a life lived out together as one.The Best Explanation of Love starts with understanding the power behind the word.What is the Best Explanation of Love - A Concept of Love EssayReading what is love explained through The Missing Ingredient: Home-Cooked Relationships in a Fast-Food World provides one of the best explanations of love.Are you stuck in a rut with your own marriage? Unless there is abuse happening, it may not be time to throw in the towel.How Do You Define Love?The what is love answer is not so much about what you are getting out of the relationship, but what you are pouring into it. The grass is always greener where you water it. When you sacrificially and lovingly pour into your spouse, watch how she responds. It may surprise you.The grass is always greener where you water it.Change won’t happen overnight. There will be resistance even. Your marriage didn’t get into a rut in one night. It took time and effort to neglect each other, to put up barriers that weren’t there in the beginning. That’s probably the best explanation of love we can give here without giving away the gold that is in this week’s podcast episode.

What the Covington Catholic High School Fiasco Taught Us About Emotional Triggers – BtR 163

Brandon and Jerry discuss the impact that our unchecked emotional triggers in the world, in our relationships and in the workplace. Emotional Triggers Can Ignite a Furious Mob MentalityJerry’s heart sank on January 19 when his wife shared with him a news story about a group of high school students who taunted a Native American at the Lincoln Memorial. The students were reported wearing that famous red “Make America Great Again” hat.The short clip showed white teens surrounding a smaller group of Native Americans, and everything about that clip was infuriating. An image circulated across social media like wildfire showing a MAGA-hat-wearing young man smirking in the face of chanting and drumming Nathan Phillips. It didn’t take long for the Twitter-verse to become angry, speak its mind, and call for the worst to happen to these students and their families. Outrage became calls to put pressure on the diocese in Kentucky and the superintendent of the school. People were calling for immediate action, and we mean at that moment, no due process. Celebrities like Kathy Griffin and GQ writer Nathaniel Friedman called for doxing of all the students involved. One of many people who called for the identities to be made public (doxing) of Covington Catholic High School students in the viral video.Those who were outraged demanded the jobs of the superintendent, the parents of the students and others began to cross the line. A store owner called for fans of his store to “fire on” any of these students if they were true fans. He even called for the school to be burned down. Former CNN host even commented how Nick Sandmann had a “punchable face.”Former CNN host, Reza Aslan, described how a teenager had a "punchable face."Grown adults calling for harm to come to teenagers?! Where have we come as a society?What were all the emotional triggers examples here? What were they all triggered by? Some say it was the red “MAGA” hat. It’s like the new white hood to many. Others saw it as a racial issue with racial lenses on. Others saw it as liberals versus conservatives.Whatever the triggers were one thing was certain. Things certainly escalated quickly, and we remain in a rut of staying in our own echo chambers.Be Quick to Listen, Slow to Speak, Slow to AngerGreat reminder regarding how to handle emotional triggers.As the Twitter-frenzy continued, more video clips, longer video clips began to surface.The original reports turned out to be false. People still looked for reasons to be angry at the teenagers and attacked the fact they were in Washington, D.C. for the March for Life event. The conversation was all about making these students look like obnoxious racists. Then, a video surfaced that was almost two hours in length posted by the Black Hebrew Israelites. That is when it became abundantly clear that the best approach was to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger. (See USA Today story and full video here.

Brandon and Jerry talk with podcast producer Jody Maberry as he reflects on how working with Lee Cockerell to produce the podcast Creating Disney Magic changed his life. Meeting Lee CockerellReaching out to Lee Cockerell may have been the biggest leap of faith Jody Maberry had taken early in his podcaster career.

Lee is the man who opened Disneyland Paris and implemented many changes we see today in how Walt Disney Resorts are operated.In our episode this week, you’ll hear about how Jody reached out to Lee, and the surprising discussion that ultimately led to the start of the popular podcast called Creating Disney Magic which focuses on success in your personal career and delivering top notch customer service.How Creating Disney Magic Opened DoorsAs Creating Disney Magic gained momentum, both Lee Cockerell and Jody Maberry experienced doors opening for them they could not imagine. The world craved learning about Walt Disney leadership philosophies and practices.Lee and Jody have expanded the reach of Creating Disney Magic to include speaking engagements that now include Jody on the stage!Books have been published under the banner of the show such as Time Management Magic, which helps readers apply the skills used by Lee Cockerell to make the most out of a day. Jody Maberry is the narrator for the audio version of Time Management Magic.A spinoff show recently launched with Jody Maberry working alongside Lee’s son, Dan Cockerell. Dan is another former Walt Disney leader sharing his insights on the Disney way of leadership. That show is called Come Rain or Shine with Dan Cockerell.

Jody Maberry shares with us insights on how he has eight active podcasts at the time of this recording.The key is having a routine that works. It has to be fluid enough to allow you to live life, and structured enough to so that you’re meeting your deadlines and delivering a quality product to your consumers. Sounds a lot like being a small business owner, right?For Jody Maberry, it’s a passion and a business. On Being a Small Business OwnerWe tend to think that the life of a businessman is all about all work and no play. Many business owners, especially entrepreneurs, will tell you that there are definitely seasons where you need to dig deep and hustle.The past three years have shown Jody the importance of also taking a break. We are not meant to be in “hustle mode” all the time. It is even described in the Bible we are to work for six days and rest on the seventh. Whether we take that literally or not, we can at least agree we have periods for work and periods of rest. If we are to succeed in being a small business owner, we have to include rest as part of our plan.If you’re living the life of a business owner or entrepreneur, or you hope to do so one day, listen to this episode and share it with someone you feel would get inspiration out of it.Jody Maberry (aka Sugar Jay)About Jody MaberryJody Maberry is a marketing consultant, copywriter, and customer experience strategist, known as the Business Ranger.

That means we come together once a month with interviews and topics lined up and spend the day recording all our raw audio. Our guests are great, and we appreciate the time they have committed to be on our show to share their insights with you.There are times when something comes up and a guest needs to postpone. No big deal. The solution is to pull a topic from our growing list and have a discussion on that so we are getting the most out of our time together recording, and it gives us something to do until the next call.Well, what if Brandon doesn't feel like discussing any of the topics on our list? Jerry scoured the Web for ideas and came across a local group that recorded a 73 questions video. Brandon went for it, and here we are.We flipped the script and had Jerry under the spotlight for this session of 73 Questions.Where Did We Pull These Questions?The site Fred and Far had posted their variation of 73 Questions asked by Vogue in their interviews with some of their own added. Unfortunately, that original article seems to have been pulled. Feel free to check out Fred and Far's website.Hope you enjoy these 73 Vogue-style questions with Brandon.
