Success Thru Connections

You're Not Underearning. You're Undervaluing with John Ray

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2417361/fan_mail/new] Most professionals don't have a marketing problem. They have a pricing problem, and they don't even know it. In this episode, business advisor and author John Ray pulls back the curtain on the silent killer of service-based businesses: undervaluing yourself. Not because you lack skill. Not because you lack experience. But because of the way you've been thinking about what you're actually worth. John has spent years helping leaders and entrepreneurs make the single shift that changes everything, and it has nothing to do with working harder, getting more clients, or following what everyone else is charging. In fact, doing those things might be making it worse. What he discovered, and what the most successful professionals already know, is that your clients see more value in you than you see in yourself. The question is whether you're leaving that money on the table or finally learning how to claim it. Tune into the full episode to learn more!

The Art of Getting What You Want Without Saying the Wrong Thing with Joshua Bandoch

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2417361/fan_mail/new] You've been thinking about persuasion all wrong. And it's quietly costing you, in deals, relationships, and rooms where decisions get made without you. Josh Bandoch has spent over a decade at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics, writing speeches for government officials, leading think tanks, and studying one unsettling pattern: the smartest people in the room are often the least persuasive. Not because they lack knowledge. Because they lead with the wrong thing entirely. In this episode, Josh dismantles the logic-first approach most high achievers are wired to default to and replaces it with something counterintuitive, research-backed, and immediately usable. Whether you're closing a deal, navigating a tough conversation, or trying to get your three-year-old to cooperate, what he shares here will quietly rewire how you show up. What you'll walk away with * Why leading with data and logic is actually the least rational thing you can do, and what brain science says to do instead * The Latin root of "convince" that reveals why most people push others away without realizing it * A single question that removes resistance faster than any argument ever could * Why losses are 5–10x more motivating than gains, and how to use that ethically in any negotiation * The intern who went from interrupting everyone to outperforming every peer, and the exact shift that did it * How one word change ("think" vs. "feel") unlocks more honest, useful answers from anyone This is the episode for anyone who's ever been right and still lost. The gap between a good idea and a good outcome is smaller than you think. Josh shows you exactly where it lives.

Stop Hosting Boring Client Events...Do This Instead with Roxanne LeBlanc

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2417361/fan_mail/new] There's a reason some events live rent-free in your memory for years, and it has nothing to do with the budget. Roxanne LeBlanc knows exactly what that reason is. And once she tells you, you'll never look at an event, a networking opportunity, or even a simple conversation the same way again. What she built from a single conversation, one most people would have been too nervous to start turned into something nobody saw coming. The clients that followed. The doors that opened. The opportunities that came from places she never expected. She also calls out the one mistake nearly every company makes when planning an event. It's hiding in plain sight, and it's costing them more than they realize. This episode goes places most business conversations don't. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2417361/support]
