100: Taking a Break

Let's talk about one of the things that I have gotten pretty good at over the years, and that’s outlining what steps go into accomplishing a project. Now when I say pretty good, I am specifically referring to the utility of these structures and how much they have improved over the years. When I was in the thick of my agency days, I would often be known for white board sessions where I would put everything that was going on inside of my head on the whiteboard, and cast it as a “vision” for how things would move forward. This was usually referred to as a brain dump, and was exactly that – a dumping of knowledge with some structure, but not a lot of actionability. Over time, these brain dumps have gone from a liability to a strong outline of what steps need to happen to complete a project. I try to be so thorough that there is no room for interpretation or issues with the tasks assigned. These outlines have served me well with the podcast, my courses, and even the written/video content we put out several times a week. It’s become one of my biggest strengths over the past two years. My brain dumps have turned into something that is structured, thoughtful, and thoroughly answers any open questions. So what has changed? The brain dumps are still there, but alongside them I have added two extremely important skills. 1) Empathy and 2) Resources and resource management. A vision is useless if you can’t get others to follow. That’s why empathy is so important. Understanding the needs of others and addressing them advance will help you get buy-in much more quickly. And once you have buy-in, you need to have the resources available to execute on the vision. You need to know how long it takes to accomplish tasks, and how to ensure they will be ready and willing when you need them. These are skills I’m still developing, but I’m liking the results so far:  [thrive_link color='blue' link='https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpstart-with-jeffalytics/id1045010339′ target='_blank' size='medium' align=”]Subscribe in iTunes[/thrive_link] [thrive_link color='dark' link='http://subscribeonandroid.com/www.jeffalytics.com/feed/podcast/' target='_blank' size='medium' align=”]Subscribe in Android[/thrive_link] Did you like this episode?

Today for our 98th episode, I am going to take you behind the scenes of our operation here at Jeffalytics and show you what we have been up to, and where we are going in the upcoming months. We have a lot of irons in the fire, and sometimes it’s hard for even me to keep track of them all, so I thought that would make for a good podcast. I will be talking about products we are developing, content coming forward, and even where I’ll be making physical appearances. Should be a lot of fun! Who knows, you might hear about one of the products and get excited, but I think you will be excited for a few of these! Listen up to hear about the 10 projects that we are juggling at the moment here at Jeffalytics.

Rand Fishkin

Rand needs no introduction, since he’s already been on the podcast. In fact, he was my first podcast guest back in October of 2015. So what’s changed since then? A lot, and we are going to talk all about it in this interview.  Rand has a book out that you should buy right away called Lost and Founder.  Seriously, BUY HIS BOOK, it’s great. If you don’t believe me, then listen to this interview. I interviewed Rand about Lost and Founder by suggesting alternative titles to the book. I think you’re going to like the result.

97: The ride of a lifetime, and I’m not even 40 yet with Rand Fishkin

In this episode, I am going to talk about starting a podcast. Why would I do that? Because I get a lot of people asking me about starting their own podcast. They want to know if I have any advice, or tips for getting started.  I guess since this podcast has made it to nearly 100 episodes, people think I know what I’m talking about! While I debate that fact, I do have a lot of thoughts on starting a podcast that I wanted to share in today’s Jeffisode.  It’s funny, but over the years I have been interviewed on many podcasts, and some of those episodes never made it onto the air! Others were conducted so professionally that I couldn’t believe the results.  What separates the good ones from the bad? What is the financial benefit of running a podcast? Will a podcast change your life?  I will answer all those questions and more in this episode.

96: So you wanna start a podcast? Here’s what you should know

Jumpstart Podcast

Today for our 95th episode, I am going to share with you what I’ve learned about targeting and booking podcast guests here at the Jumpstart podcast.  The interview guest booking process has evolved somewhat in the past few years, and now that I have vowed that I won’t be doing any more interviews, I want to share with you the process. Yes, you heard that right. At the end of Episode #94, I dropped a bombshell: I am retiring from conducting interviews on the Jumpstart podcast. Geraldine DeRuiter was the last scheduled interview on the docket, and things would be changing moving forward.   Of course, I conducted that interview back in February, and batch recorded several episodes before heading to Slovenia, Germany and to visit family in the US. I figured that my schedule would hold true, and I penciled in a topic for today’s podcast episode.  The idea was that I would give away all my secrets about finding podcast guests, because I wouldn’t need them anymore.  Then something crazy happened. Well, not so much crazy as unexpected.

95: How We Target Our Interview Guests for Jumpstart Podcast

Geraldine DeRuiter

Geraldine DeRuiter is the author of All Over the Place, and the voice behind the award-winning Everywhereist blog. What to say about Geraldine DeRuiter? I’m a long-time fan of her blog, Everywhereist, and I’ve even appeared on a post about our exploits in Berchtesgaden.  I’m a big fan of her book, All over the place, which is a modern day love story with lots of bodily functions mixed in. It’s the one book my wife read in 2017. that had people on an airplane tapping her on the shoulder to say: “What are you reading and why is it making you laugh so hard?” Her writing is like the infamous Meg Ryan diner scene in When Harry Met Sally – it’s impossible not to read her words and say “I’ll have what she’s having!”  And I got to interview this brilliant author and talk about writing, building an audience, cancer and serendipity.  We are all better off as a result. It’s one of my all time favorite conversations on the Jumpstart podcast, and an inspiration to everyone.  If you’ve ever wondered how the heck someone gets a book deal, how posts can go viral out of nowhere, and the most honest alternative to Web MD, then you have to listen to this interview.  Then read Everywhereist blog.  Then start your own blog using the tips we discuss.  Then after that start a good blog.  Man, I just loved the conversation so much that I am tempted to give away all the goods in this intro. But wouldn’t you rather have Geraldine tell it in her own words?

94: Just Keep Writing with Geraldine DeRuiter

I remember starting off with my first interview and having no idea what I was doing. It wasn’t episode #1, but rather a Skype call I recorded with Julien Coquet after hanging out in Superweek in February of 2015. I had been thinking about doing a podcast for a while, so I bought a microphone and planned to bring it with me to Hungary. I emailed my industry friends who would be attending the conference, and asked if they would do an interview with me during the week on the mountain in Hungary.  A few said yes, but we never actually set a time to do the interviews. I left the conference with no interviews, but I did get a note from Julien asking if we could do things a few weeks later.  So I researched how to record Skype calls, and Julien became my first interview guinea pig. The interview was OK. What you’d expect from a first time recording.  A whole six months later I conducted my second interview, this time with Rand Fishkin while working out of an AirBNB in Hawaii. This time I put more thought into the questions and wanted to see how Rand would react. It was the most thought that I put into an interview. And it was also OK.  Somewhere along the way, things went from just OK to not bad. I’m not sure I’ve ever gotten beyond that point, to be honest. And I notice that others do a better job than me.  I wanted the podcast to be a natural conversation, so I have avoided pre-forming questions or having a bias in the interview subject and direction. So it’s more of a conversation with an interview, if I’m being completely honest.  So what have I gathered from 64 conversations with marketers I admire?  Lots. Here are 10 things I’ve learned from conducting 64 interviews.

I remember starting off with my first interview and having no idea what I was doing. It wasn’t episode #1, but rather a Skype call I recorded with <a href="https://www.jeffalytics.com/julien-coquet-podcast/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Julien Coquet</a> after hanging out in Superweek in February of 2015. I had been thinking about doing a podcast for a while, so I bought a microphone and planned to bring it with me to Hungary. I emailed my industry friends who would be attending the conference, and asked if they would do an interview with me during the week on the mountain in Hungary. A few said yes, but we never actually set a time to do the interviews. I left the conference with no interviews, but I did get a note from Julien asking if we could do things a few weeks later. So I researched how to record Skype calls, and Julien became my first interview guinea pig. The interview was OK. What you’d expect from a first time recording. A whole six months later I conducted my second interview, this time with <a href="https://www.jeffalytics.com/rand-fishkin-podcast/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rand Fishkin</a> while working out of an AirBNB in Hawaii.

93: What I’ve learned about interviewing from the Jumpstart Podcast

Dmitry Dragilev

Dmitry Dragilev is the Founder of JustReachOut, which currently helps 4000+ entrepreneurs get featured in press on autopilot every single day. I have to admit, I’m one of those people who is scared of public relations. Not because I don’t think it’s useful – it’s a fantastic way to grow an audience and a presence beyond channels like SEO or Facebook, but it just seems like such a precise set of skills that are needed to succeed with a PR strategy. And I don’t have those skills. That is why I was excited when a listener and friend of the podcast Scott connected me with Dmitry for a a potential interview. While we have had PR pros on the podcast in the past, like Lisa Grimm from Whole Foods, I was interested in hearing specific strategies for getting press mentions, like what Dmitry has been able to do in his career.  You see, I’m a customer of Dmitry’s software called JustReachOut, and I have been following his story for a few years. It seemed like a great tale to share on the Jumpstart Podcast. But it wasn’t just Dmitry’s story I was interested in, I wanted to provide you with actionable tips for your own outreach. And Dmitry delivered the goods! I really enjoyed hearing Dmitry’s back story, his source of inspiration, how he turned this into a two-headed business, and the actionable tips that we can all utilize right away after listening to this podcast.

92: Solve Problems for Journalists and Find PR Influence with Dmitry Dragilev

Today for our 91st episode we're gonna talk about how to maximize your time at conferences. Now you may be wondering why I’m covering this topic, and why I’m discussing it right now. Well, this episode is going live while I am on a two-week conference circuit in Europe. Right now I’m in Slovenia for the InOrbit conference, and I’m in the middle of networking with attendees, organizers and other speakers.  I thought it would be appropriate to talk about conferences and networking, because we are about to kick off conference season all over the world. It seems like almost every event happens from March to June, and then September and October. So as we begin the 2018 conference season, I’m going to assume that you will be attending at least one conference this year. And I want to make sure that you get the most out of it. Whether your conference is next week, next month, or six months from now, these tips will come in handy. I will try to cover tips for attendees in addition to speakers, but there might be a few tips that only apply to those on stage. We’ll just have to see where this goes.

91: How to Maximize Your Time at Conferences

Google Analytics Consultant, Expert Speaker and Agency Mentor

Chenell Tull

Today for our 90th episode, we are going to talk with Chenell Tull, who is the founder of Conversion Owl Marketing and blogger at Hustle to Startup. Now my story of meeting Chenell is going to be a weird one, but you might also find it to be a lot of fun. Last summer, I wanted to get to know people who were on my Agency Jumpstart Course list, so my team pulled together a list of people who were heavily engaged with our emails, but had not purchased the Agency Jumpstart Course.  I believe that we pulled a list of the top 20 most engaged subscribers and called them our “whales” – which is a funny name in itself. We started by emailing these subscribers and I set up a 30 minute call to talk about their business. Most of those that I emailed responded, and many took me up on the offer. But I wanted to see if I could reach a 100% conversion rate (and perhaps save time overall with fewer consults), so I had an interesting idea. I would create a personalized video for people on that 20 person list and see if that got them to respond to my request. I made two videos, and waited to hear a response. One of those videos? I sent to someone named Chenell Tull. I never heard back from either video, so I let the idea die on the vine. That is, until Chenell emailed me in response to the video. In November. After I emailed her in June! We struck up a conversation and I learned that Chenell had a blog called Hustle to Startup. I contributed to one of her posts, and had an idea: Why don’t I have Chenell on the podcast to share her Hustle to startup story? That’s exactly what we love to hear on the Jumpstart Podcast. And the rest, as they say, is about to be delivered into your earbuds.

90: Hustle to Startup with Chenell Tull

Today for our 89th episode, I am going to talk about some of the upgrades that I’ve made to both my mindset, my physical environment, and my technology habits over the past 5 years here at Jeffalytics. I got this idea as I was thinking in wonderment about how much content we are producing for the 90 day challenge. It used to take me weeks to create a 15 minute video, and now I’m doing at least one a day.  How has it happened? Well, for starters I have been procrastinating less! Yes, the 90 day challenge has kicked my butt into gear to start producing content. But that’s not an upgrade in and of itself. It’s the necessity that was the mother of invention. Inventing new ways to do things, methods for being more efficient, and developing a better attitude about production. You know, upgrades across the board!

89: Major Mindset and Business Upgrades

Miles Beckler

Today for our 88th episode, we will talk with Miles Beckler. Miles and his wife run a successful niche media company with authority sites in the spirituality and meditation space. Miles also teaches marketing for free on YouTube. Miles and I met last year in Bali, and it started off innocently enough. It actually started before he became aware of my presence. I remember sitting at breakfast at the hotel with my wife, and Miles walked by. I said to her “I think that’s Miles Beckler, he’s a guy I kinda know from the DC forums.” He walked right past me. He must have been hungry.  Fast forward to the next day, and I am in an elevator with Miles and his wife Melanie. By this point, Miles must have been aware of my presence, because we strike up a conversation about the nomadic life. At the end, Miles says “You have a podcast, right? It would be cool to join you!” And that, my friends, is when a star was born. Ok, not really. But we did agree tentatively to record a podcast together. Of course, after that chance meeting I got to know Miles much better. I watched his talk on Facebook ads (it brought down the house), saw him give advice at a private mastermind group (it was incredible), and we even hung out at a pool party outside of Ubud and talked about life and business. Turns out we have taken completely different paths to arrive in a similar space. I was able to provide Miles with advice about speaking gigs and help plug him into the conference circuit. Plus a great travel hack with the Avianca Lifemiles program. And Miles has encouraged me to build out several aspects of my launch funnel. His advice came at the perfect time, right before our big successful launch in November. Since leaving Bali, I’ve become obsessed with Miles’ YouTube channel and all of the advice he gives out. I’m not sure there is a better resource to follow on the topic of building an online business.

Today for our 88th episode, we will talk with Miles Beckler. Miles and his wife run a successful niche media company with authority sites in the spirituality and meditation space. Miles also teaches <a href="https://www.youtube.com/milesb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">marketing for free on YouTube</a>. Miles and I met last year in Bali, and it started off innocently enough. It actually started before he became aware of my presence. I remember sitting at breakfast at the hotel with my wife, and Miles walked by. I said to her “I think that’s Miles Beckler, he’s a guy I kinda know from the DC forums.” He walked right past me. He must have been hungry. Fast forward to the next day, and I am in an elevator with Miles and his wife Melanie. By this point, Miles must have been aware of my presence, because we strike up a conversation about the nomadic life. At the end, Miles says “You have a podcast, right?

88: We Are All Creators With Miles Beckler

Today I am going to share 10 things I no longer believe as it pertains to business and career success. I will dissect the wisdom of myself in my 20’s and contrast them to how I feel about things in my mid 30’s. It’s funny as I go through this list of items, I realize how much my mind has changed in just a decade of being a professional. How much conventional wisdom I think is complete bullshit. How much being in business and being around people during good times and bad have molded how I view the world today. How I’ve been able to re-train my brain over the years and make adjustments based on real-life experience. My ability to process information and take action.  Do you know what the difference is between young and old? It’s not a certain age. To me, it’s your ability to re-train your brain, and adjust your thinking to accommodate new ideas. It’s one of our greatest capabilities as humans. Yet it’s so hard for many people to admit when beliefs are a sunk cost. I think that’s a shame. That’s what old people do. That’s the old school of thinking. And “Old school” shouldn’t be worn as a badge of honor. It’s not a compliment! So on this rainy winter day in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, I am going to share 10 things I no longer believe. This episode was a rare one where I recorded and released the episode while staying in the same location. Guess I’m slipping in my old age.

87: 10 Things I No Longer Believe

Matt Inglot

Matt Inglot is the Founder of Tilted Pixel, an agency specializing in membership sites, and the host of the Freelance Transformation Podcast. Matt and I were connected by AJ Wilcox, a friend of the podcast and all around good guy. Both Matt and I run podcasts, so AJ mentioned that we would be a good fit for each others show. I was a guest on Matt’s Freelance Transformation podcast back in January, and Matt is now a guest on Jumpstart.  This podcast was a lot of fun to record with Matt, because we got to see each others podcast process, the roles we play as hosts, and get both sides of a picture. When Matt was the interviewer, he let me do most of the talking and had the episode progress along. He was great in the role of host, but I wasn’t sure how he’d take to the role of guest. And as you will see here, Matt is an awesome guest, willing to share stories, heartbreak and the victories that came in his business. There is a lot to learn from Matt’s story during the early days. And even more to learn from how he turned things around in his business to the successful point he has reached today.

86: The art of niching down your business with Matt Inglot

Let's talk about the value of networking. Specifically, let's talk about how making connections and friends in your industry is like compounding interest. One meeting at a conference can lead to another conference to another opportunity and much more. It’s a pretty wild ride, and I wanted to share how one single conference, my first big international conference, back in 2014, lead to many of the opportunities I’ve had to speak all over the world. This is the story about how I ended up on a mountain top in Hungary, wet behind the ears, in January of 2014. Who I met, how it all worked, and what has happened since this event.  I’m releasing this episode today, because I am currently on that same mountain in Hungary! I’m networking, seeing old friends, and making new ones. Developing hundreds relationships. Meeting new friends. All because I decided to go to a mountain in Hungary, 2 months after quitting my job at the end of 2013. I would say that this is going to be “10 connections I made from the conference” but I think this will go longer than 10. Let’s see where it leads.

85: Networking on a Mountain in Hungary

Wil Reynolds

Today for our 84th episode, we are going to talk with Wil Reynolds, Director of Strategy &amp; Founder at SEER Interactive. Wil is a well known in the SEO community as an innovator, keynote speaker, and a general reality check for the industry, and I have enjoyed following his growth as a leader in the industry over the years. MnSearch has also been fortunate to have Wil join us as a keynote speaker at our annual MnSearch Summit twice over the years, and he’s been consistently among the highest rated speakers every time he goes out there. So I was excited to strike up a conversation with Wil over Twitter a few months back after he posted an article on Medium (and I shared it).  His post was titled “enough”, and it is a must-read for anyone who is an entrepreneur or dreams of taking the plunge one day. It highlights Wil’s decision-making process as he considered an acquisition offer for his company that involved life-changing money. View at Medium.com I shared the article on Twitter and to my Agency Course mailing list, and Wil actually reached out to me on Twitter after I shared his article and said he loved my twitter bio. It seemed like the perfect time to ask Wil if he would join me on the podcast and answer my millions of questions about his business and the thoughts behind his decision. The resulting conversation was one of my all-time favorites. See, Wil and I have both thought deeply about where we find satisfaction in our work lives. We’ve both had career success, but we’ve also wondered where else we could have the most impact. We get at some of these ideas in this episode. Unlike most episodes, we didn’t spend a lot of time on Wil’s back story, and we got right into talking about the business side of things. I was back in Minnesota for the recording in late December, and it was something like -15 degrees outside, which is too cold. Wil was working from home, and was on parent duty, even holding his son while recording the second half of the podcast. That’s real entrepreneurship right there!

84: Playing with the House’s Money with Wil Reynolds

Today for our 81st episode, I wanted to talk about a new project I’m kicking off in 2018 called the 90 day video challenge. Now if you’ve subscribed to my other marketing channels, you’ve probably heard about the challenge already. But for the rest of you, I wanted to share what has me excited right now to begin 2018, and where I’ve been focusing my energy. I’m recording this episode in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, where I’ll be holed up pretty much until early March working on the challenge. Now this is my first solo episode since I talked about the December slump. And what I will tell you is that the slump was indeed temporary. I went from not knowing what to do each day to having too much on my plate to even think straight these past few weeks. But in a good way, I guess. The biggest undertaking is this 90 day challenge, which means my team will be producing 90 YouTube videos + 90 Blog posts over the course of 90 days. This is going to be insane! Why am I doing this? What do I hope to get out of it? That’s what this episode is all about.

Kirk Williams

Today for our 82nd episode, we are going to talk with our second repeat guest. This time it is Kirk Williams, who you heard from on episode #26 in August of 2016. At that time, Kirk was growing his freelancing business into an agency, and was just about to make his first hire. Since then, Kirk has grown his business and we decided to check in again and share all the progress he has made and some of the growing pains he’s experiencing as he takes ZATO to the next level. So why are we doing a repeat guest interview here again? Because I think it’s fascinating to check in with Kirk at each stage of growth for his business. It’s not every day that you get to talk with someone who is in the middle of growing their company, and to grow up with the business. I love the idea of checking in with Kirk every 12-18 months as he grows Zato, and I hope you will remain invested in his story as well.

Sujan Patel

Today for our 81st episode we're going to try something new in a couple of ways: 1) We are welcoming back our 1st repeat guest Sujan Patel 2) We're not doing an actual interview, but more like a back and forth dialogue Why are we repeating a guest? Because I though it would be a good idea for our 1st episode of 2018, Happy New Year! Back in September of 2017 I met with Sujan in Austin at SumoCon conference, where Sujan talked about how he went through this process every 6 months to get rid of things that don't give him personal or professional growth &amp; satisfaction. He puts it all down on a PURGE list and he takes the weight off of his shoulders by eliminating unfruitful items. I thought this was a brilliant idea, and then I asked Sujan if he would be willing to share the purge concept on our podcast. The rest is, erm, well obviously, not history, I'd rather say… future!

81: Purge with Sujan Patel

I have Jeff’s Google Analytics and Google AdWords courses and love this podcast!

 Jeff is incredibly candid and shares his secrets that he has learned the hard way so we can avoid them. For that I am grateful and look forward to his podcasts.  

I just listened to his latest interview with Rand Fishkin and made two incredible eye opening ideas for my own business that I can’t wait to share with my team tomorrow!

Thank you Jeff for your die-hard commitment to teaching and helping us marketers and business owners!

Such solid info and great online courses!

I love getting to know about the career paths other marketers have gone through and all the juicy nerd topics this show covers! Look forward to listening to more.

Cool conversations and insight
