Ross Swan: From Financial Services to Pioneering Executive Coaching in Asia

If I Can Do It, You Can Do It ft. Patrick Engasser | Biz Bites for Thought Leaders Promo Package

What if your greatest challenge was actually your competitive advantage? Patrick Engasser, bestselling author of "If I Can Do It, You Can Do It," was born completely blind in Buffalo, New York. He went on to become a top account closer in Fortune 500 insurance sales, a district manager for ten years, and then built his own seven-figure coaching and speaking business. In this conversation, Patrick shares how being blind forced him to develop creative problem-solving from childhood, why writing a book packages your authority in a way nothing else can, and the mindset shift every entrepreneur needs to make before strategy will work. He explains his core genius principle - focus on the 10-20% that powers your engine and delegate the rest - and why the biggest thing holding you back is not a lack of knowledge but a lack of action. As his coach James Malinchak says, "My ugly book is better than the one you don't have." Download the free workbook from the show notes to identify your core genius and build your action plan.

How Entrepreneurs Can Get Free Media Coverage and Become the Go-To Expert in Their Field | Kate Engler

In this energising episode of Biz Bites For Thought Leaders, Anthony Perl sits down with Kate Engler, founder of the Meet the Press Masterclass, to unpack the secrets of earning free media coverage as an entrepreneur. With over 30 years in the publicity and media space, Kate created the Meet the Press Masterclass 14 years ago after watching brilliant entrepreneurs leave PR agencies despondent because they couldn't afford the $5,000 to $8,000 monthly fees. Her mission: to give every entrepreneur the tools to earn their own media coverage. In this conversation, Kate shares why free media is available to every entrepreneur, how to pitch journalists effectively, why you should never use AI to write your pitches, and the critical difference between paid advertising and earned editorial coverage. She also shares remarkable success stories, including a finance expert who generated 120 new leads and $95,000 in revenue from a single Sky News appearance without mentioning his business once. Whether you're a business owner, consultant, or thought leader, this episode will change how you think about publicity, media, and building your expert reputation.

Clint Rihe: The Cognitive Athlete - Military Training Meets Corporate Performance

In this transformative episode of Biz Bites for Thought Leaders, Anthony Perl sits down with Clint Rahe, former RAF physical training instructor turned high-performance coach and author of "The Cognitive Athlete." Clint shares his remarkable journey from military adventure training to helping corporate professionals achieve sustainable peak performance. Clint reveals the critical concept that changed his coaching approach: business leaders are "cognitive athletes" who use their minds like athletes use their bodies, requiring intentional training, recovery, and periodization. He introduces cognitive periodization - the four phases of conditioning, transition, performance, and recovery - and explains why the corporate expectation of year-round peak performance is unsustainable and dangerous. The conversation explores the 25-minute meeting hack that saves hours every week, how to identify your chronotype for optimal productivity, why your body keeps the score of accumulated stress, and the hidden health costs facing business owners in their 50s. Clint shares powerful insights on setting boundaries, planning your year like an athlete, and why females are 80% more likely to suffer stress-related autoimmune diseases. Whether you're a business owner, executive, or knowledge worker, this episode offers invaluable strategies for achieving peak performance without burning out.

Kevin Hubschmann: Comedy Skills, Applied Improv, and the Business Case for Laughter

In this engaging episode of Biz Bites for Thought Leaders, Anthony Perl sits down with Kevin Hubschmann, entrepreneur, comedian, and founder of laugh.events. Kevin shares his remarkable journey from being one of the first 10 employees at Splash to building a global business that brings comedy skills to corporate teams. Kevin reveals the critical distinction between comedy skills and comedy performance: training in improv isn't about telling jokes, it's about developing soft skills like active listening, empathetic communication, and adaptability. He introduces the "Yes, And" principle that transforms collaboration and explains why he calls improv training "the EQ gym" for business professionals. The conversation explores Kevin's pandemic pivot from in-person comedy shows in New York to virtual corporate training serving organizations globally. He shares powerful insights on creating psychological safety, the transformation from "apathetic" to "inspired" teams, and lessons learned from opening for comedian Jessica Kirson. Whether you're a business owner, team leader, or HR professional, this episode offers invaluable insights into building high-performing teams through laughter, trust, and applied improv training.
