Hello and welcome to the People First Then Profit Podcast.  This episode represents the official relaunch of a podcast that was originally conceived as an afterthought.  Initially, I was creating educational videos and hosting thought provoking Facebook live conversations and figured I would meet people where they were by providing them with an opportunity to listen to rather than watch the content.  Although not a terrible idea, my friend and Master Podcaster Doug Sandler encouraged and educated me on how to do this better.

I’m a people person.  I’m a self proclaimed relationship marketer that understands the importance of establishing and nurturing genuine connections with others.  I believe the personal and professional network of people in your life is of considerable value and your MOST powerful resource to achieve great success.  My heart is firmly dedicated to serving others because I recognize that Winston Churchill was spot on when he said “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give”.  I’m a partner in business and in life to my immensely talented, creative and beautiful wife Emily.  I’m a dedicated and loving parent to our nearly 4 year old daughter Frankie.  She is the most amazing little girl, I love every minute I spend with her and she actively makes me want to be a better person every single moment of each and every day!

Each Tuesday I’m going to welcome a successful business owner or entrepreneur for a no holds barred conversation about important business topics such as branding, marketing, sales and the experience you create for your partners, clients and brand fans.  We’ll identify and discuss the perils and pitfalls of business ownership and entrepreneurship (of which there are many).  In addition to sharing some stories and anecdotes from my personal and professional life, I am going to encourage my guests to do the same because they are oftentimes emotional, entertaining and a great way to see how the secrets we share can be applied in real life situations.  Ultimately the intention of this podcast is to provide you with inspiration to set daunting goals of enormous proportions, motivation to crush those goals and education to increase efficiency and maximize your return.  That’s right, this podcast is a weekly catalyst for you and your business. Who doesn’t want to succeed faster and with less work?

As a loud and proud Relationship Marketer I anticipate that my guests and listeners will form an ongoing community of professionals committed to everyone’s mutual betterment and success.  We’re stronger together and we succeed together!  I welcome you to the People First Then Profit revolution.  See you next week.
